Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of massage technology, and more specifically, to an expansion component and a massager. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, people's lives and work are often inseparable from computers and mobile phones. Long periods of time spent in front of computers and mobile phones can easily lead to pain in the cervical and lumbar spines. Massagers are gradually becoming part of people's lives, improving their health and quality of life. Massagers typically use a vibration motor to generate vibrations to massage the user's skin. However, the installation of a vibration motor increases the thickness of the expansion component, affecting its conformal deformation ability and increasing its weight. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The embodiments of the present application provide an expansion component and a massager.

[0004] The expansion component of the embodiment of the present application is used for a massager, and the expansion component is connected to the main unit of the massager. The expansion component includes a massage part, and the massage part includes a main body, a mounting part and a driving part. The main body includes a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, and the first surface is closer to the main unit than the second surface; the mounting part is connected to the first surface and protrudes toward the main unit relative to the first surface; at least a portion of the driving part is installed in the mounting part, and the driving part can drive the main body to deform when it vibrates.

[0005] In the expansion component of the embodiment of the present application, the mounting member is connected to the first surface of the main body and protrudes toward the main body relative to the first surface. At least a portion of the driving member is installed in the mounting member, which avoids the increase in the thickness of the main body caused by installing the driving member in the main body. The thickness and volume of the massage part can be reduced, so that the driving member can better drive the deformation of the main body, ensuring that the massage part has good deformation ability while reducing the mass of the expansion component and the massager.

[0006] In some embodiments, the expansion component further includes a connecting portion, and the opposite sides of the connecting portion are used to respectively connect the massage portion and the host of the massager; or the host includes a connecting portion, and the connecting portion is used to connect to the massage portion.

[0007] The expansion component is connected to the host through the connecting part, and the host can provide support for the expansion component to make the expansion component work more stably.

[0008] In some embodiments, the main body includes a first swing arm and a second swing arm provided on both sides of the connecting portion, and at least one mounting member is provided on each of the first swing arm and the second swing arm.

[0009] The first swing arm and the second swing arm are respectively arranged on both sides of the connecting part, and at least one mounting part is provided on each of the first swing arm and the second swing arm, which increases the massage area of ​​the expansion component, makes the massage distribution of the expansion component to the user more uniform, and makes the user's massage experience more comfortable.

[0010] In some embodiments, there is a first distance between the mounting member and the connecting portion, and a second distance between the mounting member and a free end of the body close to the mounting member, and the first distance is greater than the second distance.

[0011] The mounting piece is arranged close to the free end on the same side of the main body, so that the vibration amplitude of the massage part is larger, the user's vibration feeling is stronger, and a better massage effect can be achieved.

[0012] In certain embodiments, the portion of the connecting portion close to the massage portion is shaped like a tower pleat.

[0013] Because the massage area vibrates intensely, the connection section near the massage area is shaped like a tower, creating a pleated, cushioning effect, reducing vibration transmitted from the massage area to the main unit and further preventing resonance within the massager. This also allows the massage area to move axially, adapting to the shape of the user's desired massage area and improving the massager's adaptability.

[0014] In some embodiments, when the expansion component is installed on the main unit, the mounting part is raised relative to the surface of the main unit close to the massage part and has a first raised height, and the connecting part is raised relative to the surface of the main unit close to the massage part and has a second raised height, and the difference between the first raised height and the second raised height is between ±5 mm.

[0015] The height of the first protrusion and the height of the second protrusion are between ±5mm, so that the massage part can maintain the same shape as the main body, so that the massage part can be better fixed on the main body, ensuring the fit between the massage part and the user's skin.

[0016] In some embodiments, the mounting member and the body are an integral structure or a separate structure.

[0017] When the mounting part and the main body are an integrated structure, the mounting part and the main body are more tightly connected, and the mounting part is not easily separated from the main body; when the mounting part and the main body are separate structures, when one of the mounting part and the main body is damaged, only the damaged one needs to be replaced, which can reduce the cost of using the expansion component.

[0018] In certain embodiments, a surface of the mounting member away from the host is recessed toward the host to form an installation space, and the driving member is installed in the installation space.

[0019] The surface of the mounting member away from the main unit is recessed toward the main unit to form an installation space, and the driving member is installed in the installation space, which reduces the volume and weight of the massage part and facilitates the installation of the driving member.

[0020] In some embodiments, a mounting hole is formed on the body, and the mounting hole is communicated with the mounting space.

[0021] The mounting hole formed on the main body communicates with the mounting space, so that the vibration of the driving member in the mounting space can be transmitted more to the user's skin, thereby enhancing the vibration sensation.

[0022] In certain embodiments, the first surface is spaced apart from a surface of the main unit adjacent to the massage part.

[0023] The first surface of the body is spaced from the surface of the host near the massage part, making it difficult for the body to collide with the host when deformed, avoiding the noise generated by the collision with the host when the body deforms; at the same time, it ensures that the body can have a larger vibration amplitude, which can give the user a stronger vibration feeling.

[0024] In certain embodiments, at least a portion of a surface of the mounting member close to the main unit is in contact with an outer surface of the main unit close to the massage part.

[0025] At least part of the surface of the mounting part is in contact with the outer surface of the host near the massage part, so that when the massage part is displaced from the user's skin, the host can adjust the shape of the massage part in time so that the massage part can better fit the user's skin.

[0026] In some embodiments, at least one of the mounting member and the host is made of an elastic material.

[0027] At least one of the mounting member and the main unit is made of elastic material, so that the mounting member and / or the main unit have good elastic buffering and noise reduction capabilities. The vibration generated by the driving member has little impact on the main unit, reducing the possibility of the massager vibrating at the same frequency, and effectively avoiding the displacement of the massage part and the user's skin caused by the vibration of the main unit.

[0028] In some embodiments, the mounting member includes a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion, and a first mounting space is defined within the first mounting portion; the second mounting portion is connected to the first mounting portion, and a second mounting space is defined within the second mounting portion; wherein, the first mounting space is communicated with the second mounting space, the first mounting space is farther away from the host than the second mounting space, and the inner diameter of the first mounting space is larger than the inner diameter of the second mounting space.

[0029] The first installation space is connected to the second installation space, and the first installation space is farther away from the host than the second installation space. The inner diameter of the first installation space is larger than the inner diameter of the second installation space, so that the installation space is stepped, which can better limit the movement of the driving part in the installation space, so that the vibration generated by the driving part can be better transmitted to the user's skin.

[0030] In some embodiments, the mounting member further includes an elastic support portion, which is installed at the junction of the first mounting space and the second mounting space. The driving member is installed on the support portion, and the support portion is used to buffer the radial vibration of the driving member acting on the mounting member.

[0031] By arranging an elastic support portion at the junction of the first installation space and the second installation space, and installing the driving member on the support portion, the elastic buffer member can buffer the radial vibration of the driving member acting on the mounting member, and filter the radial vibration of the driving member on the mounting member, thereby further avoiding the situation where the massage part is separated from the user's skin due to the vibration of the driving member, and at the same time avoiding changes in the positional relationship between the mounting member and the main unit.

[0032] In some embodiments, the mounting member is made of an elastic material.

[0033] The mounting member is made of elastic material, so that the mounting member has good elastic buffering ability and noise reduction ability, so that the mounting member can buffer the vibration of the driving member and reduce the impact of the vibration of the driving member on the host.

[0034] In some embodiments, a surface of the support portion close to the host is spaced apart from an inner wall surface of the second mounting portion.

[0035] The support portion is spaced from the inner wall surface of the second mounting portion, which can prevent the support portion from hitting the second mounting portion and generating noise when the driving member drives the support portion to vibrate, and can also prevent the vibration of the support portion from being transmitted to the host through the second mounting portion.

[0036] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the support portion is recessed toward the second installation space to form a mounting groove, and the driving member is installed in the mounting groove.

[0037] Installing the driving member in the installation groove formed by the support portion can improve the installation stability of the driving member. At the same time, the support portion can better buffer the vibration of the driving member in the radial direction of the installation member.

[0038] In some embodiments, the expansion component further includes an electrode assembly, and the electrode assembly is disposed on a side of the body away from the host.

[0039] An electrode assembly is set on the side of the main body away from the host, so that the expansion component can also achieve electrical stimulation massage, improving the user's massage experience.

[0040] In certain embodiments, the electrode assembly includes a metal electrode sheet, and the metal electrode sheet is mounted on a side of the body away from the host.

[0041] The metal electrode sheet is installed on the side of the body away from the host, and the metal electrode sheet can perform electrical stimulation and massage on the user's skin.

[0042] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly further includes a substrate and a gel sheet, wherein the substrate is provided with a mounting groove, the bottom of the mounting groove is through-connected; the gel sheet is installed in the mounting groove, and the gel sheet is bonded to the metal electrode sheet.

[0043] The gel sheet is installed in the mounting groove of the base plate, and the bottom of the mounting groove is penetrated, so that the gel sheet can contact the user's skin, making the gel sheet more skin-friendly and close to the skin. At the same time, the gel sheet is attached to the metal electrode sheet, so that the gel sheet can be electrically connected to the metal electrode sheet, and electrical stimulation massage can be performed through the gel sheet.

[0044] The massager of the embodiment of the present application includes a host and the expansion component described in any of the above embodiments, and the expansion component is connected to the host.

[0045] In the massager of the embodiment of the present application, the mounting part is connected to the first surface of the main body and protrudes toward the main body relative to the first surface. The driving part is installed in the mounting part, which avoids the increase in the thickness of the main body caused by installing the driving part in the main body. The thickness and volume of the massage part can be reduced, so that the driving part can better drive the deformation of the main body, ensuring that the massage part has better deformation while reducing the mass of the expansion component and the massager.

[0046] In some embodiments, the host includes a main body, an abutted portion and a buffer portion; the abutted portion abuts against the mounting member; the buffer portion connects the main body and the abutted portion, and is used to buffer vibration of the abutted portion.

[0047] A buffer is provided between the main body and the abutted portion. When the driving member vibrates, the vibration is transmitted to the abutted portion. Both axial and radial vibrations are absorbed by the buffer, further reducing the impact of the driving member's vibration on the main unit. Furthermore, by providing the buffer, if the shape of the expansion member does not match the shape of the user's massage area, the massage area will apply a force to the expansion member, which will be transmitted to the mounting member. The mounting member abuts the abutted portion. Because the buffer allows the abutted portion to move axially and radially, it facilitates the adjustment of the expansion member's shape and improves its conformal deformation capability.

[0048] In some embodiments, the main unit further includes a first magnetic component, which is arranged on a side of the abutted portion away from the mounting portion; the massage portion further includes a second magnetic component, which is installed inside the mounting portion or on a side of the mounting portion close to the main unit; wherein the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can be magnetically connected.

[0049] A first magnetic member is provided on the side of the abutted portion away from the mounting member, and a second magnetic member is provided inside the mounting member or on the side of the mounting member closer to the main unit. The first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are magnetically connected. As a result, after the expansion member is assembled, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member automatically engage. This allows the expansion member to be quickly shaped, and prevents the mounting member from shifting and detaching from the abutted portion during the massage process. Furthermore, under the influence of gravity, the massage portion may sag or tilt, resulting in irreversible permanent deformation. Providing the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member ensures that the expansion member maintains its shape over a long period of time.

[0050] In certain embodiments, an outer surface of the abutted portion close to the massage portion is farther away from the massage portion than an outer surface of the main body close to the massage portion.

[0051] The outer surface of the abutted portion close to the massage portion is further away from the massage portion than the outer surface of the main body close to the massage portion, and part of the mounting member can extend into the main unit, reducing the size of the massager and making the massager more miniaturized.

[0052] In some embodiments, in a projection from the expansion component toward the host, the projection of the expansion component completely covers the projection of the buffer portion.

[0053] The expansion component completely covers the buffer portion, which can reduce the possibility of dust and other debris entering the buffer portion.

[0054] In some embodiments, the expansion component further includes a connecting portion, and the host further includes a plug-in portion, and the connecting portion is inserted into the plug-in portion to achieve electrical and mechanical connection.

[0055] Inserting the connecting part into the plug-in part of the expansion component can achieve electrical and mechanical connection with the host, making the expansion component work more stably.

[0056] In some embodiments, the connecting portion is detachably connected to the plug-in portion.

[0057] The connecting part and the plug-in part are detachably connected. When the expansion component is damaged, for example, the expansion component is dirty, the electrical connection part or the mechanical part has poor contact, or the driving part and other components are damaged, the expansion component can be replaced or repaired without discarding the entire massager, thereby increasing the service life of the massager.

[0058] In some embodiments, an outer surface of the main unit close to the massage part is arc-shaped.

[0059] The outer surface of the main unit close to the massage part is curved, ensuring the fit between the massager and the user's massage area.

[0070] In addition, the embodiments of the present application described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the embodiments of the present application and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0072] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The massager 1000 of the embodiment of the present application includes an expansion component 100 and a host 200, and the expansion component 100 is connected to the host 200. The massager 1000 may specifically include, but is not limited to, a neck massager, a chest massager, an eye massager, a waist massager, a head massager, and a leg massager. The embodiment of the present application is described using the massager 1000 as a neck massager as an example. It is understood that the massager 1000 may also be other types of massagers, and this is not limited here.

[0073] The expansion component 100 of the present embodiment includes a massage portion 10, which includes a body 11, a mounting member 12, and a driver 13. The body 11 includes a first surface 111 and a second surface 112, which are opposite to each other. The first surface 111 is closer to the main unit 200 than the second surface 112. The mounting member 12 is connected to the first surface 111 and protrudes toward the main unit 200 relative to the first surface 111. The driver 13 is mounted within the mounting member 12.

[0074] In the expansion component 100 and massager 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, the mounting member 12 is connected to the first surface 111 and protrudes toward the main unit 200 relative to the first surface 111. The driving member 13 is installed in the mounting member 12, which avoids the increase in the thickness of the main body 11 caused by installing the driving member 13 in the main body 11. The thickness and volume of the massage part 10 can be reduced, so that the driving member 13 can better drive the deformation of the main body 11, ensuring that the massage part 10 has better deformation while also reducing the mass of the expansion component 100 and the massager 1000.

[0075] See also Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the expansion component 100 further includes a connecting portion 20, and the two opposite sides of the connecting portion 20 are used to connect the massage part 10 and the host 200 respectively. It can be understood that the connecting portion 20 is a part of the expansion component 100. In another embodiment, the host 200 includes the connecting portion 20, and the connecting portion 20 can be a part of the host 200. For example, the connecting portion 20 can be formed by the host 200 protruding toward the expansion component 100, and the connecting portion 20 is used to connect with the massage part 10. The massage part 10 can be connected to the host 200 through the connecting portion 20, and the host 200 can support the massage part 10, so that the massage part 10 is more stable during massage. The embodiment of the present application is exemplified by taking the expansion component 100 including the connecting portion 20 as an example.

[0076] Furthermore, the portion 21 of the connecting portion 20 proximate to the massage portion 10 is shaped like a tower. It is understood that the tower-like shape of the portion 21 of the connecting portion 20 proximate to the massage portion 10 is not limited to the number of layers of the tower-shaped folds, and can be two, three, four, five, six, or more layers. The tower-shaped folds can buffer vibrations of the massage portion 10, reducing vibrations transmitted from the expansion component 100 to the main unit 200 and preventing resonance of the massager 1000. Furthermore, the tower-shaped folds allow the massage portion 10 to move axially along the connecting portion 20, thereby better adapting to the shape of the user's massage portion 10 and improving the adaptability of the expansion component 100. The portion of the connecting portion 20 proximate to the massage portion 10, or the entire connecting portion 20, can be made of an elastic material, such as silicone, rubber, or other elastic materials, to impart a certain degree of elasticity to the portion or the entire connecting portion 20.

[0077] Furthermore, the expansion component 100 can be detachably connected to the main unit 200, so that when the expansion component 100 is damaged, for example, when the expansion component 100 is dirty, the electrical connection part or the mechanical connection part has poor contact, or the driving part 13 and other components are damaged, the expansion component 100 can be replaced without discarding the massager 1000, thereby reducing the later use cost of the massager 1000 and increasing the service life of the product.

[0078] The expansion component 100 is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0079] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The expansion component 100 is used to contact the user's skin to massage the corresponding part of the user. The expansion component 100 includes a massage part 10, and the massage part 10 includes a body 11, a mounting part 12 and a driving part 13.

[0080] The main body 11 includes a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 facing each other, and the first surface 111 is closer to the host 200 than the second surface 112. The first surface 111 is the surface of the main body 11 close to the host 200, and the second surface 112 is the surface of the main body 11 away from the host 200. It can be understood that the second surface 112 is closer to the user's skin than the first surface 111. The main body 11 and the connecting part 20 can be detachably connected, so that when the main body 11 is damaged, such as dirty, broken, etc., it is convenient to replace the main body 11 or repair the main body 11. Among them, the main body 11 can be made of soft materials, such as silicone, soft glue, rubber, synthetic materials and other soft materials. In this way, the main body 11 can have a better shape-following deformation function, and the massage part 10 can achieve a better skin-friendly and skin-fitting effect.

[0081] The deformation capability of the body 11 gradually increases as it extends from the connection with the connecting portion 20 toward the free end. For example, when the same force is applied to the connection between the body 11 and the connecting portion 20 and the free end of the body 11, the deformation amplitude of the free end of the body 11 will be greater. The free ends of the body 11 refer to the ends of the body 11 away from the connecting portion 20.

[0082] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first surface 111 is spaced apart from the surface of the main unit 200 proximal to the massage portion 10. It is understood that there is a gap between the main unit 11 and the main unit 200, but no direct contact. The size of this gap is not limited herein. This, on the one hand, reduces the likelihood of the main unit 11 colliding with the main unit 200 during vibration, thus preventing noise generated by such collisions. On the other hand, the main unit 11 can deform within this gap, resulting in a larger vibration amplitude and a stronger vibration sensation for the user.

[0083] The main body 11 includes a first swing arm 114 and a second swing arm 115 disposed on either side of the connecting portion. Each of the first swing arm 114 and the second swing arm 115 is provided with at least one mounting member 12. The number of mounting members 12 on the first and second swing arms 114, 115 can be the same or different, without limitation. For example, the first and second swing arms 114, 115 can each be provided with one mounting member 12; alternatively, the first swing arm 114 can be provided with one mounting member 12 and the second swing arm 115 can be provided with two mounting members 12; alternatively, the first swing arm 114 can be provided with two mounting members 12 and the second swing arm 115 can be provided with two mounting members 12; and so on. The number of mounting members 12 on the first and second swing arms 114, 115 can be one, two, three, four, five, or the like.

[0084] Specifically, the lengths of the first swing arm 114 and the second swing arm 115 can be equal or unequal. The first and second swing arms 114, 115 are deformable, allowing them to better conform to the user's massage area. The vibration of the driver 13 mounted within the mounting member 12 can be transmitted to the first and second swing arms 114, 115, providing a vibration massage for the user.

[0085] The driving member 13 can be a component capable of generating vibration or driving force, such as a linear motor, a flat eccentric vibrator motor, a stepper motor, etc., which are not listed here. The driving member 13 is installed in the mounting member 12, and the vibration of the driving member 13 can be transmitted to the mounting member 12, and the driving member 13 can even drive the mounting member 12 to vibrate together.

[0086] The mounting member 12 is connected to the first surface 111 of the body 11 and projects relative to the first surface 111 toward the main unit 200. It will be appreciated that the mounting member 12 is connected to the side of the body 11 closest to the main unit 200, and the driver 13 can be mounted within the mounting member 12. Because the mounting member 12 projects relative to the first surface 111 toward the main unit 200, this avoids the increased thickness of the main unit 11 that would result from direct mounting of the driver 13 within the body 11. This reduces the volume and weight of the massage unit 10, and consequently, the expansion unit 100.

[0087] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the mounting member 12 and the body 11 are integrally formed. It is understood that the mounting member 12 and the body 11 are part of the same component and are integrally formed with the body 11. This provides a tighter connection between the mounting member 12 and the body 11, making it less likely for the mounting member 12 to separate from the body 11 during vibration. In another embodiment, the mounting member 12 and the body 11 are separate components. It is understood that the mounting member 12 and the body 11 are separate components and can be assembled together by welding, bonding, fasteners, or other methods.

[0088] In some embodiments, the mounting member 12 can be made of an elastic material, for example, the mounting member 12 is made of silicone, rubber and other materials. In this way, the mounting member 12 can have good buffering performance and noise reduction capabilities, and can buffer the vibration of the driving member 13, so that the vibration generated by the driving member 13 has less impact on the host 200, reducing the possibility of the massager 1000 vibrating at the same frequency, and avoiding the vibration of the host 200 causing the massage part 10 to shift with the user's skin and the host 200 to shift with the massage part 10.

[0089] It should be noted that the number of mounting members 12 can be multiple, such as two, three, four, five, six, or more, and the multiple mounting members 12 are respectively installed on both sides of the body 11 relative to the connecting portion 20. Furthermore, the number of mounting members 12 can be an even number, such as two, four, six, or eight, and the multiple even-numbered mounting members 12 are symmetrically and evenly connected on both sides of the body 11 relative to the connecting portion 20. The multiple mounting members 12 can each be equipped with a driving member 13.

[0090] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the surface of the mounting member 12 away from the host 200 is recessed toward the host 200 to form a mounting space 121. It can be understood that part of the mounting member 12 and the entire mounting member 12 are recessed directly toward the host 200 from the direction away from the host 200, and the shape of the mounting member 12 can be a "concave" shape. Furthermore, a mounting hole 113 is opened at a position on the main body 11 corresponding to the mounting member 12, and the mounting space 121 is connected to the mounting hole 113 formed on the main body 11, so that the vibration of the driving member 13 can be better transmitted to the user's skin, avoiding the vibration of the driving member 13 being blocked by the main body 11 and causing the vibration to be weakened, thereby enhancing the vibration feeling reaching the user's skin.

[0091] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, there is a first distance L1 between the mounting member 12 and the connecting portion 20, and a second distance L2 between the mounting member 12 and the free end of the main body 11 close to the mounting member 12, and the first distance L1 is greater than the second distance L2. The free end of the main body 11 close to the mounting member 12 refers to the free end of the main body 11 on the same side of the connecting portion 20 as the mounting member 12. For example, if the mounting member 12 is on the left side of the connecting portion 20, then the free end of the main body 11 close to the mounting member 12 refers to the free end of the main body 11 on the left side of the connecting portion 20. It can be understood that the mounting member 12 is closer to the free end of the main body 11 than the connecting portion 20, and when the driving member 13 installed in the mounting member 12 vibrates, the main body 11 can produce a larger deformation amplitude, the vibration felt by the user is stronger, and a better massage effect can be achieved. It should be noted that the first distance L1 and the second distance L2 refer to the arc length in the extension direction of the main body 11.

[0092] See also Figure 1In certain embodiments, when the expansion component 100 is mounted on the main unit 200, the mounting member 12 protrudes from the surface of the main unit 200 proximate to the massage section 10 and has a first protrusion height H1. The connecting portion 20 protrudes from the surface of the main unit 200 proximate to the massage section 10 and has a second protrusion height H2. The first protrusion height H1 and the second protrusion height H2 are substantially the same. The first protrusion height H1 refers to the height of the mounting member 12 protruding from the first surface 111 to the surface of the main unit 200 proximate to the massage section 10, while the second protrusion height H2 refers to the height of the connecting portion 20 protruding from the first surface 111 to the surface of the main unit 200 proximate to the massage section 10. Furthermore, along the extension direction of the main unit 11, the distance between each position on the main unit 11 and the corresponding position on the side of the main unit 200 proximate to the massage section 10 is substantially equal. This allows the massage section 10 to maintain a substantially identical shape to the main unit 200, ensuring a close fit between the massage section 10 and the user's skin while also providing a better fixation to the main unit 200. In one embodiment, the first protrusion height H1 is the same as the second protrusion height H2.

[0093] Further, see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the mounting member 12 includes a first mounting portion 122 and a second mounting portion 123. The first mounting portion 122 is connected to the second mounting portion 123. The first mounting portion 122 defines a first mounting space 1221, and the second mounting portion 123 defines a second mounting space 1231. The first mounting space 1221 and the second mounting space 1231 are connected. The first mounting space 1221 is farther away from the host 200 than the second mounting space 1231. The inner diameter of the first mounting space 1221 is larger than the inner diameter of the second mounting space 1231.

[0094] Among them, the first mounting portion 122 and the second mounting portion 123 can be an integral structure or a split structure, which is not limited here. The mounting space 121 as a whole can be stepped. Specifically, the first mounting space 1221 is connected to the mounting hole 113 on the body 11. The driving member 13 can be installed in the first mounting space 1221, the driving member 13 can also be installed in the second mounting space 1231, and the driving member 13 can also be partially installed in the first mounting space 1221 and partially installed in the second mounting space 1231. By providing the first mounting portion 122 and the second mounting portion 123, the driving member 13 can be more stable when working.

[0095] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the mounting member 12 further includes a support portion 124. The support portion 124 is installed at the intersection of the first mounting space 1221 and the second mounting space 1231, and the driving member 13 is installed on the support portion 124. The support portion 124 can be made of an elastic material, for example, the support portion 124 can be made of silicone, rubber, synthetic materials, etc., so that the support portion 124 can have a certain buffering capacity and can buffer the vibration of the driving member 13 in the radial direction acting on the mounting member 12. At the same time, the support portion 124 can better reduce the vibration of the driving member 13 in the radial direction thereof, thereby preventing the radial vibration of the driving member 13 from being transmitted to the body 11, resulting in excessive radial vibration of the body 11, and further causing the massage part 10 to shift relative to the user's skin.

[0096] Specifically, the support portion 124 is supported at the junction of the first installation space 1221 and the second installation space 1231, and the support portion 124 abuts against the wall of the first installation space 1221. An interference fit may be provided between the support portion 124 and the installation space 121 to ensure a more stable installation of the support portion 124 within the installation space 121. Of course, the support portion 124 and the first installation portion 122 and / or the second installation portion 123 may be integral or separate structures.

[0097] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, at least a portion of the support portion 124 is recessed toward the second installation space 1231 to form a mounting groove 1241. For example, a portion of the support portion 124 is recessed toward the second installation space 1231, or the entire support portion 124 is recessed toward the second installation space 1231. The mounting groove 1241 can be used to mount the driver 13. The mounting groove 1241 and the driver 13 can have an interference fit. The mounting groove 1241 can limit the movement of the driver 13, preventing the driver 13 from vibrating excessively and separating from the mounting member 12, thereby improving the installation stability of the driver 13.

[0098] Furthermore, the middle portion of the support portion 124 is recessed toward the second installation space 1231 to form a mounting groove 1241. The dimensions of the mounting groove 1241 may be smaller than those of the second installation space 1231. The mounting groove 1241 may extend into the second installation space 1231. The radial dimension of the mounting groove 1241 may be greater than or equal to the radial dimension of the driver 13. The mounting groove 1241 may accommodate a portion of the driver 13, while another portion of the driver 13 may extend out of the mounting groove 1241; alternatively, the mounting groove 1241 may accommodate the entire driver 13.

[0099] Furthermore, the surface of the support portion 124 closest to the main unit 200 is spaced from the inner wall of the second mounting portion 123. This can be the surface corresponding to the mounting groove 1241 of the support portion 124 spaced from the inner wall of the second mounting portion 123, or the surface of the area of ​​the support portion 124 corresponding to the second mounting space 1231 is spaced from the inner wall of the second mounting portion 123. As a result, when the driving member 13 drives the support portion 124 to vibrate, the support portion 124 is less likely to collide with the second mounting portion 123, thereby preventing the support portion 124 from colliding with the second mounting portion 123 and generating noise. More specifically, the surface of the portion of the support portion 124 not connected to the first mounting portion 122 and the second mounting portion 123 is spaced from the inner wall of the first mounting portion 122 and the second mounting portion 123.

[0100] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the expansion component 100 further includes an electrode assembly 30, which is disposed on the side of the body 11 away from the main unit 200. The motor assembly 30 is configured to provide electrical stimulation massage. The electrode assembly 30 includes a metal electrode sheet 31, which is mounted on the side of the body 11 away from the main unit 200. The metal electrode sheet 31 can be attached to the body 11. When energized, the metal electrode sheet 31 can provide electrical stimulation massage to the area in contact with the metal electrode sheet 31, alleviating fatigue in that area and providing a more relaxed and comfortable massage experience for the user.

[0101] The number of metal electrode sheets 31 can be one or more. The metal electrode sheet 31 is arranged on the side of the main body 11 away from the host 200. The metal electrode sheet 31 is closer to the user's skin than the driving member 13, so that the metal electrode sheet 31 can perform electrical stimulation massage on the user's skin. Among them, the metal electrode sheet 31 can have a thinner thickness so that the vibration of the driving member 13 can be transmitted to the metal electrode sheet 31 and then to the user's skin. Furthermore, the metal electrode sheet 31 can have good elasticity so that the metal electrode sheet 31 has good conformal deformation ability, can deform along with the main body 11, and can better fit the user's skin.

[0102] Furthermore, the electrode assembly 30 also includes a substrate 32 and a gel sheet 33. The substrate 32 is provided with a mounting groove 321, and the gel sheet 33 is mounted within the mounting groove 321. The bottom of the mounting groove 321 is through-hole, allowing the gel sheet 33 to contact the user's skin. The gel sheet 33 is attached to the metal electrode sheet 31 so that the gel sheet 33 can be electrically connected to the metal electrode sheet 31, and the user can be electrically stimulated and massaged through the gel sheet 33. The substrate 32 and gel sheet 33 are mounted on the side of the metal electrode sheet 31 away from the host 200.

[0103] The substrate 32 can be made of a soft material, such as silicone, rubber, etc., so that the substrate 32 can have better shape-adapting ability, and the substrate 32 can have better skin-friendly and skin-adapting properties. The gel sheet 33 can specifically be a hydrogel, etc. In one embodiment, there are multiple gel sheets 33, and a plurality of mounting grooves 321 are spaced apart on the substrate 32. The multiple gel sheets 33 are installed in the corresponding mounting grooves 321, and the multiple gel sheets 33 are fitted one by one with the multiple metal electrode sheets 31. Furthermore, in one embodiment, a plurality of mounting grooves 321 are evenly provided on the substrate 32 so that the gel sheets 33 are evenly distributed on the substrate 32, so that the electric stimulation massage for the user is more uniform.

[0104] The substrate 32 is detachably connected to the body 11 , for example, the substrate 32 is connected to the body 11 by means of a snap or the like, and the user can choose to use the metal electrode sheet 31 for electrical stimulation massage or the gel sheet 33 for electrical stimulation massage.

[0105] The host 200 is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0106] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the main unit 200 is made of an elastic material, such as silicone, rubber, or a polymer synthetic material. This allows the main unit 200 to have excellent cushioning and noise reduction capabilities. When the vibration of the driver 13 is transmitted to the main unit 200, the main unit 200 can buffer the vibration. The main unit 200 is less likely to vibrate due to the driver 13, or the vibration is minimal. This reduces the possibility of the entire massager 1000 vibrating at the same frequency, effectively preventing the massage part 10 from shifting from the user's skin due to the vibration of the main unit 200.

[0107] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the outer surface of the main unit 200 close to the massage part 10 is curved, and the extension direction of the expansion component 100 can be roughly the same as the extension direction of the main unit 200. It can be understood that the expansion component 100 is also curved, thereby ensuring the fit between the massager 1000 and the user's massage part 10.

[0108] In some embodiments, the host 200 includes a main body 201, an abutted portion 202 and a buffer portion 203. The main body 201 can specifically be the shell of the host 200. The abutted portion 202 can be the portion of the host 200 that abuts against the mounting member 12, and the abutted portion 202 may be driven by the mounting member 12 to vibrate together. The buffer portion 203 connects the host 200 and the abutted portion 202. The buffer portion 203 has a certain buffering performance. The buffer portion 203 can absorb the vibration transmitted to the abutted portion 202, reducing the impact of the vibration of the driving member 13 on the host 200, making it difficult for the host 200 to fall off from the massage part 10 of the user. Among them, the buffer portion 203 can buffer the vibration of the abutted portion 202 in the axial direction and the radial direction.

[0109] The buffer portion 203 may be a spring, and there may be multiple springs disposed around the abutted portion 202. One end of the spring is connected to the main body 201, and the other end is connected to the abutted portion 202. The buffer portion 203 may also be a pleated portion of the main body 200 surrounding the abutted portion 202. The buffer portion 203 may be made of an elastic material such as silicone or rubber. The number of pleats may be one, two, three, four, or more layers, and the pleats may buffer vibrations of the abutted portion 202.

[0110] In some embodiments, the projection of the expansion component 100 toward the main unit 200 completely covers the projection of the buffer 203. It will be appreciated that the length and width of the buffer 203 are both less than or equal to the width and length of the expansion component 100. The expansion component 100 protects the buffer 203, preventing dust and other debris from entering the buffer 203, and ensuring that the buffer 203 remains relatively clean for a long period of time.

[0111] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the outer surface of the main unit 200 proximate to the massage portion 10 is in contact with at least a portion of the surface of the mounting member 12 proximate to the main unit 200. Specifically, the portion of the main unit 200 that is in contact with the surface of the mounting member 12 proximate to the main unit 200 is the abutted portion 202. By abutting at least a portion of the outer surface of the mounting member 12 with the abutted portion 202, when the massage portion 10 shifts relative to the user's skin, the main unit 200 can apply a force to the mounting member 12 through the abutted portion 202, thereby adjusting the shape of the massage portion 10 and allowing the massage portion 10 to continue to better contact the user's skin, thereby enhancing the user's massage experience.

[0112] Furthermore, the outer surface of the abutted portion 202, which is closer to the massage portion 10, is closer to the massage portion 10 than the outer surface of the main body 201. It can be understood that the outer surface of the abutted portion 202 is lower than the outer surface of the main body 201, and the abutted portion 202 is recessed inward relative to the main body 201, allowing a portion of the mounting member 12 to extend into this recess. This reduces the thickness and weight of the massager 1000, making it more compact.

[0113] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the main unit 200 further includes a first magnetic member 204, which is disposed on a side of the abutted portion 202 away from the mounting member 12. The massage unit 10 further includes a second magnetic member 14, which is mounted within the mounting member 12 or on a side of the mounting member 12 closer to the main unit 200. The first and second magnetic members 204, 14 are magnetically connected. Thus, after the expansion unit 100 is assembled, the first and second magnetic members 204, 14 automatically engage. This allows the expansion unit 100 to be quickly reshaped and prevents displacement of the mounting member 12 from the abutted portion 202 during the massage process. Furthermore, under the influence of gravity, the massage unit 10 may sag or tilt, resulting in irreversible permanent deformation. The first and second magnetic members 204, 14 ensure that the expansion unit 100 maintains its shape over the long term.

[0114] Among them, the first magnetic member 204 and the second magnetic member 14 can be any magnetic element, such as a magnet. A receiving cavity is provided on the side of the abutted portion 202 away from the mounting member 12, and the first magnetic member 204 is installed in the receiving cavity. In one embodiment, the second magnetic member 14 is installed in the second mounting space 1231, and the second magnetic member 14 is attached to the inner wall surface of the second mounting portion 123. In another example, a fixing groove is provided on the side of the mounting member 12 close to the host 200, and the second magnetic member 14 is installed in the fixing groove, such as Figure 1 When the expansion component 100 is assembled on the host 200 , the first magnetic component 204 and the second magnetic component 14 can attract each other, so that the mounting component 12 and the abutted portion 202 are attached together.

[0115] See also Figure 5In some embodiments, the host 200 further includes a plug-in portion 205, into which the connecting portion 20 of the expansion unit 100 is inserted for electrical and mechanical connection. The plug-in portion 205 can be fixedly connected to the body 11 or removably connected. The plug-in portion 205 cooperates with the connecting portion 20, allowing the expansion unit 100 to be connected to the host 200. The expansion unit 100 can also receive current input from the host 200, enabling normal operation of the expansion unit 100.

[0116] Furthermore, the connecting portion 20 is detachably connected to the plug-in portion 205. For example, the connecting portion 20 and the plug-in portion 205 are detachably connected by means of a latch, a snap, or the like. This allows the expansion component 100 to be replaced or repaired without discarding the entire massager 1000 if it becomes damaged, such as when the expansion component 100 becomes dirty, the electrical or mechanical connections become poor, or components such as the driver 13 become damaged. This increases the lifespan of the massager 1000.
