[0030] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Example 1: Combination Figure 1-3 This embodiment discloses a massage device that is easy to use in a home environment, aiming to provide a massage device that is simple in structure, easy to operate, safe and reliable, and can meet the needs of cervical spine massage.

[0032] The massage device includes a base 100, a support plate 200, a movable plate 400, and a massage head 300.

[0033] The base 100 serves as the supporting structure for the entire device, and its bottom is equipped with a horizontal support structure to ensure the stability of the device during use. Furthermore, combined with... Figure 2 As shown, the base 100 is a structure combining a base plate 110 and a support plate 120. The base plate 110 is a horizontal plate structure, providing a stable support surface; two support plates 120 are spaced apart on top of the base plate 110 to support the tray 200. This design ensures the stability of the base 100 and facilitates the installation and removal of the tray 200.

[0034] The base 100 has a support plate 200 and a movable plate 400 on its top, both of which are curved plate structures with a downward-curving top. This design can better conform to the curve of the cervical spine and make it more convenient for users to lie down. The bottom end of the movable plate 400 can slide left and right against the top end of the support plate 200, which helps users to move the movable plate 400 left and right by simply rotating their head and neck, simplifying the operation.

[0035] The top of the support plate 200 is equipped with an upwardly raised massage tip 300. The top of the massage tip 300 has a smooth, rounded corner structure. This design reduces skin irritation during massage, prevents scratches, and improves massage comfort. The movable plate 400 has a track groove 410 parallel to the left-right direction in its length direction. The track groove 410 runs longitudinally through the movable plate 400. The two ends of the massage tip 300 abut against the front and rear sides of the track groove 410, forming a guide and limiting structure between the support plate 200 and the movable plate 400. This design ensures the stable movement of the movable plate 400 and prevents it from falling off or being damaged during use.

[0036] Furthermore, the top of the massage tip 300 extends through the track groove 410 to above the movable plate 400, where it abuts against the user's cervical spine. This design allows the massage tip 300 to directly act on the cervical spine, providing an effective massage effect. Simultaneously, due to the fit between the massage tip 300 and the track groove 410, the user can adjust the position of the movable plate 400 to change the contact point between the massage tip 300 and the cervical spine, thereby achieving different massage needs for different areas. Specifically, by moving the neck left and right, the corresponding massage position of the massage tip 300 continuously changes. The bottom of the massage tip 300 is connected to the top surface of the support plate 200 via a fixed or movable connection. In the case of a fixed connection, the massage tip 300 is directly fixed to the top surface of the support plate 200; this design is suitable for situations requiring a stable massage effect.

[0037] In this embodiment, two massage heads 300 located on the same front and rear horizontal plane are positioned separately to form a group. The two massage heads 300 in the same group are located within the same track groove 410, such as... Figure 3 As shown, there are three sets of massage tips 300 spaced apart. This design increases the contact area between the massage tips 300 and the cervical spine, as well as the number of massage points, thereby improving the uniformity and effectiveness of the massage. Furthermore, the multiple sets of massage tips 300 can provide personalized massage programs based on different cervical spine problems.

[0038] During use, the patient's neck rests against the top of the movable plate 400, utilizing the concave structure to achieve a relatively comfortable and stable posture. The top of the massage end 300 rests against the bottom of the neck, producing a certain degree of compression massage effect. The patient moves their head left and right, utilizing the contact friction between the neck and the movable plate 400. The movable plate 400, as a supporting structure, moves the head left and right together. During this process, the massage position corresponding to the massage end 300 continuously changes, forming a dynamic massage effect.

[0039] Example 2: Based on Example 1, combined with Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the massage head 300 and the support plate 200 are movably connected. Specifically, the top of the support plate 200 is provided with a mounting boss 210, which is connected to the mounting boss 210 by a spring 500. The elastic extension and contraction direction of the spring 500 is longitudinally arranged, allowing the massage head 300 to elastically sink when subjected to downward pressure at the top. This design can better adapt to the curvature changes of different cervical spine parts, improving the comfort and effectiveness of the massage.

[0040] Example 3: Based on Example 1, combined with Figure 5As shown, this embodiment also takes user comfort into consideration. The top of the movable plate 400 is provided with a cushioning pad 420 made of silicone material. Four cushioning pads 420 are set near the front and rear edges of the movable plate 400 to elastically support the patient's neck, so as to reduce the stimulation and pressure on the skin during massage.

[0041] Example 4: Based on Example 1, combined with Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the movable plate 400 is provided with a wrapping layer 600, which is made of nylon fabric. The wrapping layer 600 is connected and fixed to the movable plate 400, and the wrapping layer 600 covers all the track grooves 410 and the massage head 300, which is both beautiful and safe, and prevents the patient's skin or hair from being pinched by the gap between the track grooves 410 and the massage head 300.

[0042] Example 5: Based on Example 1, combined with Figure 7 As shown, in order to enhance the massage effect and meet the personalized needs of users, this embodiment provides a stimulation ridge 310 on the top of the massage end 300. The stimulation ridge 310 includes annular and dotted flanges. These structures can increase the stimulation intensity and friction on the skin during massage, thereby further improving the massage effect.

[0043] Example 6: Based on Example 1, combined with Figure 8 As shown, an anti-slip pad 130 is provided on the bottom of the base plate 110 of the base 100 to ensure the stability of the device during use. This design can effectively prevent the device from sliding or tipping over during use, improving safety.

[0044] In summary, the massage device proposed in this utility model, which is convenient for home use, has advantages such as simple structure, easy operation, safety and reliability, and the ability to meet the needs of cervical spine massage. Through reasonable design and optimization, this utility model not only improves the comfort and effect of massage but also meets the personalized needs of different users.
