[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. This invention provides an eye massager, comprising: a connector having a left rotating shaft and a right rotating shaft arranged vertically; a left massage component and a right massage component, each having a connecting portion, the connecting portion being semi-circular; a rotating hole being provided on the connecting portion, the left rotating shaft and the right rotating shaft being adapted to be inserted into the corresponding rotating hole; the rotating hole and the semi-circular connecting portion forming an eccentric circle; the left massage component and the right massage component having a folded state that is close to each other and an open state that is far apart from each other during rotation; a gap existing between the connecting portions of the left massage component and the right massage component during rotation; a locking block adapted to be embedded in the gap; under the action of external force, the locking block having a first position embedded in the gap and a second position far away from the gap.
[0019] This design allows the locking block to be inserted into the gap between the left and right massage components when the user opens them to a suitable angle for massage. This fixes the opening angle of the left and right massage components, ensuring accurate massage and improving the massage effect. Furthermore, the user can fine-tune the opening angle of the left and right massage components by slightly adjusting the insertion position of the locking block, ensuring the angle is suitable for their eye sockets and achieving the optimal massage effect.
[0020] 2. In this embodiment of the invention, the distance between the eye massager and the bridge of the nose is detected by a distance sensor, and the distance data is fed back to the user. The user can refer to and compare the data based on the comfort of wearing and experiencing it, and adjust the clamping block to the most comfortable position in the next experience, thereby improving the user experience.
[0021] 3. In this embodiment of the invention, by setting up a driving component and adjusting the embedding position of the locking block through the driving component, electric adjustment significantly reduces user operation compared to manual adjustment. It automatically fixes the opening angles of the left and right massage components, ensuring accurate massage and improving the massage effect. Furthermore, users can also fine-tune the opening angles of the left and right massage components through electric adjustment by slightly adjusting the embedding position of the locking block, making the opening angles of the left and right massage components suitable for the user's eye sockets.

[0037] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0038] Recently, many eye care products have appeared on the market to relieve eye fatigue, among which head-mounted eye massagers are quite common. To facilitate portability and storage, existing head-mounted eye massagers have adopted a folding design, reducing storage space and gaining popularity among many users. However, currently, during the user's experience of wearing the eye massager, uneven airbag inflation or incorrect pressure points can cause the folding mechanism to loosen, potentially leading to misalignment of the massage area. This can result in the eye massager continuously pressing on the user's temples, resulting in a poor massage effect.
[0039] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this invention is that the folding mechanism of existing eye massagers is prone to loosening, resulting in poor massage effect, thereby providing a new eye massager.
[0040] Example 1
[0041] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an eye massager, which includes a connector 5, a locking block 4, a left massage component 11, and a right massage component 12.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the connecting member 5 is provided with a left rotating shaft 31 and a right rotating shaft 32 in the vertical direction. Both the left massage member 11 and the right massage member 12 are provided with connecting portions, namely a left connecting portion 21 and a right connecting portion 22. The connecting portions are semi-circular. Rotating holes are provided on the connecting portions, and the left rotating shaft 31 and the right rotating shaft 32 are adapted to be inserted into the corresponding rotating holes. One end of the left massage member 11 is the left connecting portion 21, which is axially connected to the connecting member 5 with the left rotating shaft 31. One end of the right massage member 12 is the right connecting portion 22, which is axially connected to the connecting member 5 with the right rotating shaft 32. The shapes of the left connecting portion 21 and the right connecting portion 22 are symmetrical.
[0043] The rotating hole and the semi-circular connecting part form an eccentric circle. One end of the left connecting part 21 is an eccentric circle with a diameter smaller than the width of the rod. The rotating hole through which the left rotating shaft 31 can pass is on the center line of the left connecting part 21, not on the center of the eccentric circle. Similarly, one end of the right connecting part 22 is also an eccentric circle with a diameter smaller than the width of the rod. The rotating hole through which the right rotating shaft 32 can pass is on the center line of the right connecting part 22, not on the center of the eccentric circle. In this way, a gap can be formed between the left connecting part 21 and the right connecting part 22 when the eye protection device is folded. The size of this gap varies depending on the folding angle.
[0044] During rotation, the left massage member 11 and the right massage member 12 have a folded state where they are close to each other and an open state where they are far apart from each other. A gap exists between the connecting portions of the left massage member 11 and the right massage member 12 during rotation, and the locking block 4 is adapted to fit into this gap. Under external force, the locking block 4 has a first position where it is embedded in the gap and a second position where it is far away from the gap.
[0045] Furthermore, in Figure 2 In Figure a, the left massage piece 11 and the right massage piece 12 are at a 0° angle, achieving the folding of the eye massager. The locking block 4 cannot slide inwards or fall outwards. Figure 2 In Figure b, as the left massage component 11 and the right massage component 12 rotate outward, the gap between the left connecting part 21 and the right connecting part 22 increases, preventing the locking block 4 from sliding inward to the bottom. The narrowest end can then lock the gap between the left connecting part 21 and the right connecting part 22, preventing the left massage component 11 and the right massage component 12 from rotating inward. This fixes the folded structure, ensuring the eye massager maintains a fixed angle during massage and preventing the folded structure from loosening and bending inward, thus avoiding poor massage effect due to continuous pressure on the temples. This guarantees the massage effect. Figure 2In Figure c, the left massage piece 11 and the right massage piece 12 are at 180°. The gap between the left and right rotating rods is the largest during the folding process. The locking block 4 slides inward until it reaches the bottom, locking the gap. The eccentric round ends of the left connecting part 21 and the right connecting part 22 are completely attached to the outer edge of the locking block 4. This is the state in which the eye massager is fully open.
[0046] With this configuration, when the user opens the left massage element 11 and the right massage element 12 to a suitable angle for massage, the locking block 4 can be inserted into the gap between the left massage element 11 and the right massage element 12. This fixes the opening angle of the left massage element 11 and the right massage element 12, ensuring that the eye massager can accurately perform the massage and improve the massage effect. Furthermore, the user can also slightly adjust the insertion position of the locking block 4 to fine-tune the opening angle of the left massage element 11 and the right massage element 12, making the opening angle of the left massage element 11 and the right massage element 12 suitable for the user's eye sockets, thus achieving the best massage effect.
[0047] Further, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the connector 5 is provided with a base 55 and two fixing parts 51 disposed on the base 55. A rectangular mounting cavity 56 is provided between the two fixing parts 51. The clamping block 4 is disposed in the mounting cavity 56 and slides between the two fixing parts 51 via a sliding structure. With the wearing surface as the inside and the outer surface as the outside, when the clamping block 4 slides between the two fixing parts 51 in the inward and outward directions, it has a first position embedded in the gap and a second position away from the gap. A nose bridge groove 57 is provided at the bottom of the base 55.
[0048] Further, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the sliding structure includes a slider 43 and a groove. The slider 43 is disposed on both sides of the clamping block 4. In this embodiment, an upper slider 431 and a lower slider 432 may be provided. The grooves are correspondingly formed on the sides of the two fixing parts 51, namely an upper groove 52 and a lower groove 54. The slider 43 is adapted to slide within the groove. The thickness of the slider 43 in the vertical direction is smaller than the height of the groove in the vertical direction. The bottom surface of the slider 43 and the bottom surface of the groove are at the same horizontal plane to ensure that the clamping block 4 slides smoothly.
[0049] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the connector 5 is further provided with a boss, which is simultaneously connected to the top of the two fixing parts 51; the rotating shaft is provided between the boss and the base 55.
[0050] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the base 55 is provided with a stop 53 at one end near the two fixing parts 51, and the stop 53 and the end face of the boss connecting the two fixing parts 51 are on the same plane. When the left massage member 11 and the right massage member 12 are fully opened and the locking block 4 is fully embedded in the gap, the locking block 4 simultaneously abuts against the stop 53 and the end face of the boss connecting the two fixing parts 51. The stop 53 and the end face of the boss connecting the two fixing parts 51 can form a secondary limiting position.
[0051] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the boss is provided with a distance detection device on its end face away from the two fixing parts 51, the distance detection device being adapted to detect the distance between the distance detection device and the bridge of the nose. The eye protection device also includes a prompting device, which is communicatively connected to the distance detection device.
[0052] The distance detection device can be a distance sensor 6, located at the center of the protrusion, directly facing the bridge of the nose. It detects the distance between the center of the eye massager and the bridge of the nose, records this data, and provides it back to the user. The user can compare this data with their wearing and comfort experience, and adjust the locking block 4 to the most comfortable position for the next use. Specifically, the feedback can be provided to the user via voice prompts, such as "The distance for this experience is [distance in mm]", which can be displayed on the screen outside the eye massager. The user can also compare the comfort level of the previous experience with the previous position data, select a specific position, and manually slide the locking device. Sliding stops only after a voice prompt, completing the adjustment. The previous position information can be displayed via voice interaction or the screen; the specific position can be selected via voice interaction or by pressing buttons.
[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, the distance sensor 6 detects the distance between the eye massager and the bridge of the nose, and feeds the distance data back to the user. The user can compare the data with the comfort level of wearing and experiencing the device, and adjust the clamping block 4 to the most comfortable position in the next experience, thereby improving the user experience.
[0054] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the locking block 4 includes a sliding end 42 and an inserting end 44, the sliding end 42 being adapted to slide between the two fixing portions 51. The inserting end 44 is connected to the sliding end 42 and is adapted to be inserted into the gap. The side of the inserting end 44 is arc-shaped, and the width of the inserting end 44 gradually increases along the direction close to the sliding end 42.
[0055] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the clamping block 4 further includes a blocking end 41, which is disposed on the top of the sliding end 42. The length of the blocking end 41 is greater than the length of the mounting cavity 56. When sliding between the two fixing parts 51, the blocking end 41 is adapted to block the mounting cavity 56, ensuring that when the clamping block 4 moves outward, the blocking end 41 can block the mounting cavity 56 and prevent the hand from being pinched. The blocking end 41 is provided with an anti-slip structure. For example, the anti-slip structure can be an anti-slip texture, which can increase the friction between the hand and the clamping block 4 when the user adjusts the position of the clamping block 4 by hand.
[0056] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, under the driving action of the driving component, the clamping block 4 has a first position embedded in the gap and a second position away from the gap.
[0057] Optionally, the drive assembly includes: a drive motor 71 disposed in the base 55; a worm gear connected to the clamping block 4; the extension direction of the worm gear is the same as the sliding direction of the clamping block 4; the base 55 is provided with a worm gear cavity suitable for accommodating the worm gear; and the drive motor 71 is connected to the worm gear through a transmission component.
[0058] This embodiment of the invention, by setting up a driving component and adjusting the embedding position of the locking block 4 through the driving component, significantly reduces user operation compared to manual adjustment. It automatically fixes the opening angles of the left massage element 11 and the right massage element 12, ensuring accurate massage and improving the massage effect. Furthermore, users can also fine-tune the opening angles of the left and right massage elements 11 and 12 more accurately through electric adjustment by slightly adjusting the embedding position of the locking block 4, making the opening angles of the left and right massage elements 11 and 12 suitable for the user's eye sockets.
[0059] Specifically, during operation, distance sensor 6 detects the distance between the center of the eye massager and the bridge of the nose, feeding this information back to the controller. The controller compares the data with the set value and controls the motor to automatically adjust the position of the locking block 4, thus fixing the folding structure and ensuring the micro-folding angle of the eye massager fits the user's eye socket, maximizing the massage effect and improving the user experience. The set value can be directly specified by the user or set automatically. In the automatic setting mode, the recommended distance between the center of the eye massager and the bridge of the nose detected by distance sensor 6 is 9mm-12mm.
[0060] When the eye massager is turned off, the controller is not completely powered off. The drive motor 71 drives the gear 73 to rotate, causing the locking block 4 to slide outward along the long side of the slide groove until the slider 43 is blocked and limited. At this time, the controller is completely powered off, and the user can fold the eye massager at will for storage. When the eye massager is turned on, the controller controls the drive motor 71 to drive the gear 73 to rotate, causing the locking block 4 to slide inward along the long side of the slide groove. In conjunction with the distance sensor 6, it automatically adjusts to a suitable position according to the distance between the center of the eye massager and the bridge of the nose, locking the gap between the left connecting part 21 and the right connecting part 22, preventing the left massage component 11 and the right massage component 12 from rotating inward. At this time, the micro-folding angle of the eye massager maximizes the user's massage needs.
[0061] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
