[0090] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0091] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the present invention. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, the present invention may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art will appreciate the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0092] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a massage unit 100 for a massager 1000 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the specific type of the massager 1000 used by the massage unit 100 is not limited, for example, it can be a wearable massager or a handheld massager, etc., wherein the wearable massager can be an eye massager A (for example Figure 1 shown) or neck massager B (e.g. Figure 2 as shown) or waist massager, etc.
[0093] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the massager 1000 includes a body 200, and a massage unit 100 adapted to be connected to the body 200. It should be noted that the term "connected" in "the massage unit 100 is connected to the body 200" should be understood broadly, and can be separate components that are assembled and connected, or a single component. For example, when the components are separate components that are assembled and connected, the unit housing 1 is assembled and connected to the corresponding portion of the body 200. For another example, when the components are a single component, at least a portion of the unit housing 1 is integral with the corresponding portion of the body 200. For example, the unit housing 1 can be integrally formed using a single material through integral injection molding, or through secondary injection molding, as long as the components are inseparable.
[0094] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the massage unit 100 includes a unit housing 1, one end of which is a massage end 101. It can be understood that the massage end 101 is suitable for contacting the human body to massage the human body. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the massage unit 100 also includes a vibration component 2 and a buffer sleeve 42. The buffer sleeve 42 is arranged in the unit shell 1, and the vibration component 2 is arranged in the buffer sleeve 42. When the vibration component 2 vibrates, the unit shell 1 will be driven to vibrate through the buffer sleeve 42, and the massage end 101 will form a vibration massage on the human body.
[0095] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the massage end 101 includes a conductive first conductive portion 1011. When the first conductive portion 1011 is electrically connected to a conductive component (such as the second conductive portion 3011 described below) within the unit housing 1 and energized, an electric pulse massage can be performed on the human body through the first conductive portion 1011. It should be noted that the massage end 101 can be entirely constructed as the first conductive portion 1011, or only partially constructed as the first conductive portion 1011, which is not limited here.
[0096] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the massage unit 100 includes a conductive component 3, which includes a second conductive portion 3011. The second conductive portion 3011 is located between the cushioning sleeve 42 and the massage end 101. When the second conductive portion 3011 is squeezed, it can form an electrical connection with the first conductive portion 1011. The body 200 includes an electric pulse generator, and the second conductive portion 3011 is adapted to be electrically connected to the electric pulse generator. When the electric pulse generator is activated and the second conductive portion 3011 is electrically connected to the first conductive portion 1011, the first conductive portion 1011 of the massage end 101 can perform an electric pulse massage on the human body. Thus, by placing the larger electric pulse generator within the body 200 rather than integrating it within the massage unit 100, the size of the massage unit 100 can be simply and effectively reduced. Within the same installation area, more massage units 100 can be installed, thereby improving the massage effect.
[0097] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the vibration assembly 2 is installed in the buffer sleeve 42, and the buffer sleeve 42 is installed in the unit housing 1, the vibration assembly 2 and the unit housing 1 can jointly squeeze the buffer sleeve 42 to compress it, thereby causing the buffer sleeve 42 to accumulate elastic force. Under the action of the elastic force of the buffer sleeve 42, the second conductive portion 3011 is electrically connected to the first conductive portion 1011 under the compression of the buffer sleeve 42. In other words, under the action of the elastic force exerted by the compression of the buffer sleeve 42, the second conductive portion 3011 is pushed into direct or indirect conductive contact with the first conductive portion 1011, thereby achieving electrical connection.
[0098] It should be noted that the material of the cushioning sleeve 42 is not limited. For example, it can be a flexible material to facilitate installation of the cushioning sleeve 42 in the unit housing 1. For another example, the cushioning sleeve 42 can also be a non-flexible material, as long as it can be compressed and has elastic force after compression to directly or indirectly squeeze the second conductive portion 3011 to electrically connect with the first conductive portion 1011. Optionally, in some specific examples, the other end of the unit housing 1 can form a connecting portion 124, which is used to connect to the body 200 of the massager 1000.
[0099] Specifically, the buffer cover 42 may include a portion located between the vibration component 2 and the second conductive portion 3011 (eg Figure 4 Alternatively, the buffer cover 42 may include a portion located between the side of the vibration component 2 away from the second conductive portion 3011 and the unit housing 1 (e.g. Figure 4 Alternatively, the buffer cover 42 may include a portion located between the vibration component 2 and the second conductive portion 3011, and the buffer cover 42 may also include a portion located between the side of the vibration component 2 away from the second conductive portion 3011 and the unit housing 1 (e.g. Figure 4 The vibration component 2 shown in the figure has a partial buffer cover 42 above and below, so that when the vibration component 2 is installed in the buffer cover 42, and the buffer cover 42 is installed in the unit housing 1, the vibration component 2 and the unit housing 1 can jointly squeeze the buffer cover 42 to compress it, so that the buffer cover 42 is electrically connected to the second conductive part 3011 and the first conductive part 1011 through elastic force.
[0100] It should be noted that, depending on the structure of the buffer sleeve 42, when the buffer sleeve 42 includes a portion located between the vibration component 2 and the second conductive part 3011, the buffer sleeve 42 can directly contact the conductive component 3 to squeeze the second conductive part 3011; when the buffer sleeve 42 includes a portion located between the side of the vibration component 2 away from the second conductive part 3011 and the unit housing 1, the buffer sleeve 42 can indirectly contact the conductive component 3 to squeeze the second conductive part 3011. For example, the buffer sleeve 42 can indirectly contact the conductive component 3 through the vibration component 2 to squeeze the second conductive part 3011.
[0101] When the buffer cover 42 includes a portion located between the vibration assembly 2 and the second conductive portion 3011, the buffer cover 42 can isolate the vibration assembly 2 from the conductive portion 3, thereby preventing the vibration of the vibration assembly 2 from affecting the conductive portion 3. When the buffer cover 42 includes a portion located between the side of the vibration assembly 2 away from the second conductive portion 3011 and the unit housing 1, the buffer cover 42 can isolate the vibration assembly 2 from the unit housing 1, thereby preventing vibration noise from being generated between the vibration assembly 2 and the unit housing 1.
[0102] To simplify the description, the following text only uses "the buffer sleeve 42 includes both the part located between the vibration component 2 and the second conductive part 3011, and the part located between the side of the vibration component 2 away from the second conductive part 3011 and the unit housing 1" as an example for explanation. After reading the technical solution below, those skilled in the art will obviously understand the specific embodiments of "the buffer sleeve 42 does not include the part located between the vibration component 2 and the second conductive part 3011" or "the buffer sleeve 42 does not include the part located between the side of the vibration component 2 away from the second conductive part 3011 and the unit housing 1".
[0103] It should be noted that the cushion sleeve 42 described herein has a certain ability to recover deformation after being compressed and deformed by force, but it is not required that the cushion sleeve 42 completely recover its original shape after the external force is removed. Of course, in some optional examples, the cushion sleeve 42 can also completely recover its original shape after the external force is removed. Figure 4 As shown, when the second conductive portion 3011 of the conductive component 3 and the vibration component 2 are both installed in the unit housing 1, the remaining space in the unit housing 1 is insufficient to accommodate the non-compressed buffer sleeve 42. Therefore, the buffer sleeve 42 can only be installed in the unit housing 1 by compressing and deforming. In this way, the elastic force of the buffer sleeve 42 can maintain an electrical connection between the second conductive portion 3011 and the first conductive portion 1011. On the other hand, it can also maintain a relatively stable state between the vibration component 2 and the unit housing 1, thereby improving the installation stability of the vibration component 2 and the synchronization of the vibration of the unit housing 1 caused by the vibration component 2.
[0104] Some massagers in the related art, such as the one described in CN111481422A, are equipped with at least one massage head to provide massage. The massage head includes a conductive housing, an electric pulse generator, a temperature sensor, a heating element, a heat insulating element, and a vibration motor. However, the massage head described in CN111481422A has the following disadvantages: First, the electric pulse generator is disposed within the conductive housing of the massage head. As is well known, the electric pulse generator is used to generate electric pulses and generally includes a circuit board and multiple electrical components disposed thereon. This is bulky, resulting in a larger massage head. Second, the vibration motor cannot be stably mounted, and collisions between the vibration motor and the conductive housing can easily generate noise.
[0105] The massage unit 100 for the massager 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention can effectively solve the above technical problems and has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0106] First, by arranging the electric pulse generating device in the body 200, that is, the electric pulse generating device is placed outside the massage unit 100, and the massage unit 100 is electrically connected to the electric pulse generating device, the volume and weight of the massage unit 100 are reduced on the basis of being able to realize electric pulse massage, and the vibration energy consumption and vibration noise can be reduced when the massage unit 100 vibrates for massage.
[0107] Second, by disposing an elastically deformable cushioning sleeve 42 within the unit housing 1 to enclose at least a portion of the vibration assembly 2, the elastic force of the cushioning sleeve 42 caused by the vibration assembly 2 and the unit housing 1 compresses and deforms, squeezing the second conductive portion 3011 to electrically connect with the first conductive portion 1011. This allows the first conductive portion 1011 to reliably maintain electrical connection with the second conductive portion 3011 regardless of whether the vibration assembly 2 is vibrating. In other words, even when the vibration assembly 2 is vibrating, the cushioning sleeve 42 is always in a compressed state and exerts elastic force, effectively squeezing the second conductive portion 3011 to electrically connect with the first conductive portion 1011, thereby achieving reliable electric pulse massage. In short, the squeezing action of the cushioning sleeve 42 electrically connects the second conductive portion 3011 to the first conductive portion 1011, thereby improving the reliability of the electric pulse massage.
[0108] Third, the elastic force of the buffer sleeve 42 is also used to press the vibration component 2 into the unit shell 1, thereby improving the installation stability of the vibration component 2, preventing the vibration component 2 from colliding with the unit shell 1 during vibration, and avoiding the impact and noise problems caused by the vibration of the vibration component 2 relative to the unit shell 1. It also improves the reliability of the vibration component 2 driving the unit shell 1 to vibrate synchronously, so that the massage unit 100 can perform reliable vibration massage on the human body.
[0109] In some embodiments, the second conductive portion 3011 is opposed to the first conductive portion 1011, and the cushioning sleeve 42 elastically compresses the second conductive portion 3011 to maintain a close electrical connection with the first conductive portion 1011. In other words, regardless of whether the vibration assembly 2 is vibrating or not, that is, regardless of whether the vibration assembly 2 is in a vibrating or non-vibrating state, as long as the unit housing 1, conductive assembly 3, vibration assembly 2, and cushioning sleeve 42 are properly assembled, the cushioning sleeve 42 remains compressed and can elastically compress the second conductive portion 3011 to directly contact the first conductive portion 1011, forming a close contact state and thus achieving electrical connection.
[0110] Therefore, since the second conductive part 3011 of the conductive component 3 is directly fitted with the first conductive part 1011 of the unit housing 1 to form an electrical connection, this method of directly using the conductive component 3 to fit the unit housing 1 for electrical connection does not require the use of a wire to connect the second conductive part 3011 and the first conductive part 1011, thereby avoiding the solder joints formed by welding the two ends of the wire, so that the installation stability of the vibration component 2 will not be affected by the appearance of the solder joints, thereby further ensuring that the vibration component 2 can work stably, and since the welding process of connecting the second conductive part 3011 and the first conductive part 1011 with a wire is omitted, the installation steps are simple, the production efficiency is high, and the structural compactness of the massage unit 100 can be improved.
[0111] To simplify the description, the following text only uses "the buffer sleeve 42 squeezes the second conductive part 3011 through elastic force to always maintain a close electrical connection with the first conductive part 1011" as an example. After reading the technical solution in the following text, those skilled in the art will obviously understand the solution of "the buffer sleeve 42 squeezes the second conductive part 3011 through elastic force to form an electrical connection with the first conductive part 1011 through other means."
[0112] Of course, it is understood that different control strategies can also be used to achieve multiple massage modes such as vibration massage alone, electric pulse massage alone, and simultaneous vibration and electric pulse massage, which will not be described in detail here. In addition, it should be noted that the specific composition of the conductive component 3 is not limited. For example, some specific embodiments will be described below, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0113] Example 1
[0114] In the first embodiment, Figure 15 As shown, the conductive component 3 may include a metal sheet 3A1, and the second conductive portion 3011 includes the metal sheet 3A1. As a result, the second conductive portion 3011 has a simple structure, which simplifies the structure and reduces costs. Furthermore, the metal sheet 3A1 does not block heat transfer, ensuring effective heat transfer when the massage unit 100 includes the sheet-shaped heating element 3A3 described later.
[0115] Optionally, the thickness of the metal sheet 3A1 can be 0.06 mm to 0.5 mm, for example, 0.06 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.35 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.45 mm, 0.5 mm, etc. This ensures that the metal sheet 3A1 has a low rigidity and a low ability to resist the squeezing force of the buffer sleeve 42. Under the elastic squeezing force of the buffer sleeve 42, the metal sheet 3A1 can be effectively electrically connected to the first conductive portion 1011, for example, directly or indirectly in close contact to form an electrical connection.
[0116] However, in related technologies, such as CN111481422A, an electric pulse generator with large thickness and rigidity is set in a conductive shell, and the conductive part includes a hard circuit board and electrical components arranged on the circuit board. Therefore, even if a buffer sleeve is set, it cannot be guaranteed that the electric pulse generator is effectively fitted with the conductive shell.
[0117] In the first embodiment, the conductive assembly 3 may optionally further include a conductive member 3A2, which is a metal strip, a wire, or a flexible circuit board and is used to electrically connect the metal sheet 3A1 to the electric pulse generator, thereby facilitating electric pulse massage.
[0118] In some optional examples of this embodiment, such as Figure 15 As shown, the conductive component 3 may further include: a sheet heating element 3A3, the sheet heating element 3A3 is located between the buffer sleeve 42 and the metal sheet 3A1, and the buffer sleeve 42 squeezes the sheet heating element 3A3 and the metal sheet 3A1 by elastic force to always keep close contact with each other for heat transfer. As a result, when the sheet heating element 3A3 is heated, it can transfer heat to the metal sheet 3A1, and the metal sheet 3A1 can transfer heat to the first conductive part 1011, thereby achieving hot compress massage, and further enriching the massage function. It should be noted that the specific composition of the sheet heating element 3A3 is not limited, for example, it can be a sheet of metal or a flexible circuit board, etc., which is not limited here.
[0119] Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other optional examples of the first embodiment, for example, Figure 16 As shown, the conductive assembly 3 further includes a sheet heating element 3A3, which is also located between the cushioning sleeve 42 and the massage end 101. The cushioning sleeve 42 elastically compresses the sheet heating element 3A3, maintaining close contact with the massage end 101 for heat transfer. In other words, the sheet heating element 3A3 and the metal sheet 3A1 are not stacked; both are sandwiched between the cushioning sleeve 42 and the massage end 101. This allows the sheet heating element 3A3 to transfer heat directly to the massage end 101, thereby improving heat transfer efficiency.
[0120] In addition, when the "sheet heating element 3A3 is also located between the buffer sleeve 42 and the massage end 101", further optionally, the second conductive part 3011 also includes a conductive foam 3A4, and the conductive foam 3A4 is arranged on the side of the metal sheet 3A1 close to the massage end 101. Thus, the compressibility of the conductive foam 3A4 can be utilized to improve the connection reliability between the second conductive part 3011 and the first conductive part 1011, that is, when the vibration component 2 vibrates, the second conductive part 3011 and the first conductive part 1011 can also be guaranteed to be electrically connected reliably.
[0121] Optionally, the thickness of the sheet heating element 3A3 is 0.05 mm to 0.2 mm, for example, 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm, etc. This ensures that the sheet heating element 3A3 has a low rigidity, and under the elastic squeezing action of the buffer sleeve 42, the second conductive portion 3011 and the first conductive portion 1011 are in close contact and electrically connected. It should be noted that the specific composition of the sheet heating element 3A3 is not limited, and it can be, for example, a metal sheet or a flexible heating film.
[0122] Optionally, the sheet heating element 3A3 is a flexible element, thereby ensuring that the rigidity of the sheet heating element 3A3 is relatively low, and under the elastic squeezing action of the buffer sleeve 42, the second conductive part 3011 can be kept in close contact with the first conductive part 1011 to form an electrical connection.
[0123] However, in related technologies, such as CN111481422A, an electric pulse generator with large thickness and rigidity is set in a conductive shell, and the conductive part includes a hard circuit board and electrical components arranged on the circuit board, which will hinder the heat transfer from the heating element to the conductive shell and reduce the hot compress massage effect.
[0124] Example 2
[0125] In the second embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the conductive component 3 may include a flexible heating film 3B, which includes a main section 301 positioned between the cushioning sleeve 42 and the massage end 101. The side of the main section 301 facing the massage end 101 includes a metal layer 3B1, and the second conductive portion 3011 also includes the metal layer 3B1. As a result, the conductive component 3 is simple in construction, and the second conductive portion 3011 can be easily and reliably constructed. When the flexible heating film 3B is in operation, the heat generated by the main section 301 can be transferred to the massage end 101, thereby creating a hot compress massage effect, thereby enriching the functionality of the massage unit 100.
[0126] Furthermore, due to the relatively low rigidity of the flexible heating film 3B, the elastic compression of the buffer sleeve 42 effectively ensures that the metal layer 3B1 is directly or indirectly in close contact with the first conductive portion 1011 to form an electrical connection. Optionally, the thickness of the flexible heating film 3B can be 0.05 mm to 0.2 mm, such as 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm, etc., thereby better ensuring that the rigidity of the flexible heating film 3B is relatively low and that the elastic compression of the buffer sleeve 42 effectively ensures that the metal layer 3B1 is directly or indirectly in close contact with the first conductive portion 1011 to form an electrical connection.
[0127] However, in related technologies, such as CN111481422A, an electric pulse generator with large thickness and rigidity is set in a conductive shell, and the conductive part includes a hard circuit board and electrical components arranged on the circuit board. Therefore, even if a buffer sleeve is set, it cannot be guaranteed that the electric pulse generator is effectively fitted with the conductive shell.
[0128] Optionally, the thickness of the metal layer 3B1 can be 0.01 mm to 0.05 mm, for example, 0.01 mm, 0.02 mm, 0.03 mm, 0.04 mm, 0.05 mm, etc. Thus, the metal layer 3B1 does not block heat transfer, ensuring effective heat transfer. Furthermore, the metal layer 3B1 has a low rigidity, and the elastic compression of the buffer sleeve 42 effectively ensures that the metal layer 3B1 is directly or indirectly in close contact with the first conductive portion 1011 to form an electrical connection.
[0129] like Figure 7 As shown, in the second embodiment, the main body segment 301 may further include a first heating portion 30121 disposed opposite to the metal layer 3B1 , and / or a second heating portion 30122 disposed around the metal layer 3B1 .
[0130] For example, Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, when the main body section 301 includes a first heating portion 30121 (eg Figure 7 (See the portion of the heating portion 3012 within the dashed circle L shown in FIG). Thus, the conductive metal layer 3B1 also serves as a heat conductor, offering high thermal efficiency, minimal heat loss, a large heating area, and rapid temperature rise. Furthermore, the close contact between the second conductive portion 3011 and the first conductive portion 1011 allows for faster and more complete heat transfer to the first conductive portion 1011, further enhancing the massage effect.
[0131] For example, Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, when the main body section 301 includes a second heat generating portion 30122 (eg, Figure 7 The portion of the heating portion 3012 located outside the dotted circle L shown in FIG. 3 ) can be used to heat the surrounding area of the massage end 101 using the second heating portion 30122. The second heating portion 30122 can be a closed ring circling the entire circumference of the metal layer 3B1, or an open ring circling a portion of the metal layer 3B1.
[0132] Furthermore, if the main body section 301 includes only the second heating portion 30122 and not the first heating portion 30121, the second heating portion 30122 does not overlap with the metal layer 3B1, thereby reducing the thickness of the main body section 301 to a certain extent. Furthermore, if the main body section 301 includes both the second heating portion 30122 and the first heating portion 30121, the heating and massage effect of the massage unit 100 can be improved overall.
[0133] In a specific example of the second embodiment, Figure 8A and Figure 9 As shown, the main body section 301 may include: a first base film 3B2, an intermediate base film 3B3 and a second base film 3B4 arranged in sequence along the direction from the massage end 101 to the buffer sleeve 42, the metal layer 3B1 is provided on the side of the first base film 3B2 facing the massage end 101, and a heating circuit 324 and an electric pulse circuit 322 are provided between the first base film 3B2 and the second base film 3B4. For example, a heating circuit 324 is provided on the side of the intermediate base film 3B3 close to the first base film 3B2. The side of the intermediate base film 3B3 near the second base film 3B4 is provided with an electric pulse circuit 322. For another example, the side of the intermediate base film 3B3 near the second base film 3B4 is provided with a heating circuit 324, and the side of the intermediate base film 3B3 near the first base film 3B2 is provided with an electric pulse circuit 322. The electric pulse circuit 322 is electrically connected to the metal layer 3B1 (the electrical connection method here is not limited, for example, it can be achieved through a copper via process, etc.), and the electric pulse circuit 322 is suitable for electrical connection to an electric pulse generating device. As a result, the structure of the main body section 301 is simple, making it easy to process and manufacture.
[0134] It should be noted that the number of insulating films included in the main segment 301 is not limited to the above-mentioned three layers. For example, it can also be more than three layers, etc. In addition, the heating circuit 324 and the electric pulse circuit 322 can be arranged on the intermediate base film 3B3 at the same time, and one can be arranged on the first base film 3B2, and / or the other can be arranged on the second base film 3B4, which is not required here.
[0135] Example 3
[0136] In the third embodiment, Figure 10As shown, the conductive component 3 may include a flexible heating film 3B, comprising a main section 301 and a lug 303 positioned between the cushioning sleeve 42 and the massage end 101. The lug 303 is located at the edge of the main section 301, specifically, the lug 303 protrudes away from the center of the main section 301. The lug 303 has a metal layer 3B1 on the side facing the massage end 101. The second conductive portion 3011 also includes the metal layer 3B1. As a result, the conductive component 3 is simple in construction, allowing for a simple and reliable construction of the second conductive portion 3011. When the flexible heating film 3B is in operation, heat generated by the main section 301 can be transferred to the massage end 101, thereby creating a hot compress massage effect and enhancing the functionality of the massage unit 100. Furthermore, since the metal layer 3B1 is disposed on the lug 303, it does not hinder heat transfer from the main section 301 to the massage end 101, thereby improving heat transfer efficiency.
[0137] Furthermore, due to the relatively low rigidity of the flexible heating film 3B, the elastic compression of the buffer sleeve 42 effectively ensures that the metal layer 3B1 is directly or indirectly in close contact with the first conductive portion 1011 to form an electrical connection. Optionally, the thickness of the flexible heating film 3B can be 0.05 mm to 0.2 mm, such as 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm, etc., thereby better ensuring that the rigidity of the flexible heating film 3B is relatively low and that the elastic compression of the buffer sleeve 42 effectively ensures that the metal layer 3B1 is directly or indirectly in close contact with the first conductive portion 1011 to form an electrical connection.
[0138] It is understood that since the lug portion 303 is part of the flexible heating film 3B, the thickness of the lug portion 303 is less than or equal to the thickness of the flexible heating film 3B. When the thickness of the flexible heating film 3B is relatively small, the thickness of the lug portion 303 can be kept relatively small. In this way, under the elastic squeezing action of the buffer sleeve 42, the metal layer 3B1 can be effectively directly or indirectly in contact with the first conductive portion 1011 to form an electrical connection. Optionally, the thickness of the lug portion 303 can be 0.03 mm to 0.2 mm, for example, 0.03 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm, etc., thereby better ensuring that the rigidity of the flexible heating film 3B is relatively low and that under the elastic squeezing action of the buffer sleeve 42, the metal layer 3B1 can be effectively directly or indirectly in contact with the first conductive portion 1011 to form an electrical connection.
[0139] However, in related technologies, such as CN111481422A, an electric pulse generator with large thickness and rigidity is set in a conductive shell, and the conductive part includes a hard circuit board and electrical components arranged on the circuit board. Therefore, even if a buffer sleeve is set, it cannot be guaranteed that the electric pulse generator is effectively fitted with the conductive shell.
[0140] Optionally, the thickness of the metal layer 3B1 can be 0.01 mm to 0.05 mm, for example, 0.01 mm, 0.02 mm, 0.03 mm, 0.04 mm, 0.05 mm, etc. Thus, the metal layer 3B1 does not block heat transfer, ensuring effective heat transfer. Furthermore, the metal layer 3B1 has a low rigidity, and the elastic compression of the buffer sleeve 42 effectively ensures that the metal layer 3B1 is directly or indirectly in close contact with the first conductive portion 1011 to form an electrical connection.
[0141] In a specific example of the third embodiment, Figure 8B and Figure 10 As shown, the main body section 301 may include: a first base film 3B2, an intermediate base film 3B3, and a second base film 3B4, arranged in sequence from the massage end 101 to the cushioning sleeve 42. The edge of at least one of the first base film 3B2, the intermediate base film 3B3, and the second base film 3B4 extends a lug portion 303 away from the center of the main body section 301. A metal layer 3B1 is formed on the lug portion 303 closest to the massage end 101. A heating circuit 324 is provided between the first base film 3B2 and the intermediate base film 3B3. An electric pulse circuit 322 is provided between the second base film 3B4 and the intermediate base film 3B3. The electric pulse circuit 322 is electrically connected to the metal layer 3B1 (the electrical connection method here is not limited, for example, it can be achieved through a copper sinking process, etc.), and the electric pulse circuit 322 is suitable for electrical connection to an electric pulse generator. As a result, the main body section 301 has a simple structure and is easy to process and manufacture.
[0142] When the side of the lug portion 303 facing the massage end 101 includes a metal layer 3B1, in some optional examples, the second conductive portion 3011 may further include a conductive foam 3A4 covering the metal layer 3B1. The compressibility of the conductive foam 3A4 can be utilized to improve the reliability of the connection between the second conductive portion 3011 and the first conductive portion 1011. This ensures a reliable electrical connection between the second conductive portion 3011 and the first conductive portion 1011 even when the vibration assembly 2 vibrates. Furthermore, the conductive foam 3A4 does not affect heat transfer from the main body 301 to the massage end 101, ensuring a hot compress massage effect.
[0143] It should be noted that the number of insulating films included in the main segment 301 is not limited to the above-mentioned three layers. For example, it can also be more than three layers, etc. In addition, the heating circuit 324 and the electric pulse circuit 322 can be arranged on the intermediate base film 3B3 at the same time, or the heating circuit 324 can be arranged on the first base film 3B2, and the electric pulse circuit 322 can be arranged on the second base film 3B4. This is not required here.
[0144] In the above-mentioned second or third embodiment, when the main body section 301 includes: a first base film 3B2, an intermediate base film 3B3, and a second base film 3B4 arranged in sequence along the direction from the massage end 101 to the cushioning sleeve 42, in some optional examples, the conductive component 3 may further include: a detection element 35. The detection element 35 is provided on a side of the main body section 301 facing away from the massage end 101, and is used at least for detecting the temperature of the main body section 301. A detection circuit 331 electrically connected to the detection element 35 is provided between the first base film 3B2 and the second base film 3B4. For example, the detection element 35 may be an NTC temperature sensor, i.e., a thermistor, so that the temperature detection can prevent the massage end 101 from being overheated and causing adverse effects on the human body.
[0145] It should be noted that if Figure 9 As shown, when there is a detection circuit 331 electrically connected to the detection element 35 between the first base film 3B2 and the second base film 3B4, the detection circuit 331 is insulated from the electric pulse circuit 322, and the detection circuit 331 is also insulated from the heating circuit 324. For example, in some examples, the flexible heating film 3B may also include an isolation base film 3B5 located between the second base film 3B4 and the intermediate base film 3B3, and the detection circuit 331 is arranged between the isolation base film 3B5 and the second base film 3B4 to insulate the detection circuit 331 from the heating circuit 324 and the electric pulse circuit 322.
[0146] In some embodiments, of course, when the conductive component 3 includes both the heating circuit 324 and the detection circuit 331, the heating circuit 324 includes two electrical connection ends, and the detection circuit 331 includes two electrical connection ends. One of the electrical connection ends of the heating circuit 324 and one of the electrical connection ends of the detection circuit 331 are electrically connected to the same ground wire. In this way, the number of wires can be reduced, thereby making subsequent electrical connection of the wires simpler and reducing costs. For example, in a specific example, such a design can reduce the number of wires from five to four, that is, the electric pulse circuit 322, the heating circuit 324, and the detection circuit 331 each use one wire, plus a common ground wire, for a total of four wires.
[0147] In the above-mentioned embodiment 2 or embodiment 3, if Figure 9As shown, the heating circuit 324 may include multiple concentrically arranged ring-shaped open heating wires. It should be noted that the ring shape herein, whether it is an open ring shape or a closed ring shape, may be a circular ring shape or a non-circular ring shape, such as a polygonal ring shape, an elliptical ring shape, and the like. Specifically, one end of the open ends of each ring of the open heating wire is connected to one end of the open ends of the open heating wire of its inner ring, and the other end is connected to one end of the open ends of the open heating wire of its outer ring, so that multiple rings of the open heating wire can be connected end to end in sequence to form a series path. As a result, the heating circuit 324 has an ingenious structure, high space utilization, a large overall layout area, high heating efficiency, and is easy to connect to the heating circuit 324.
[0148] For example, one circle is defined as the first circle of open ring-shaped heating wire, the inner circle of the first circle of open ring-shaped heating wire is the inner circle of the second circle of open ring-shaped heating wire, the outer circle of the first circle of open ring-shaped heating wire is the inner circle of the third circle of open ring-shaped heating wire, the left open end of the first circle of open ring-shaped heating wire is connected to the left open end of the second circle of open ring-shaped heating wire, the right open end of the first circle of open ring-shaped heating wire is connected to the right open end of the third circle of open ring-shaped heating wire, and so on, the left open end of the third circle of open ring-shaped heating wire is connected to the left open end of the open ring-shaped heating wire of the outer circle of the third circle of open ring-shaped heating wire, and the right open end of the second circle of open ring-shaped heating wire is connected to the right open end of the open ring-shaped heating wire of the inner circle of the second circle of open ring-shaped heating wire, so that multiple circles of open ring-shaped heating wire can be connected end to end in sequence to form a series path.
[0149] In short, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, the electric pulse circuit 322, the heating circuit 324, the detection circuit 331, the second conductive part 3011 and the detection element 35 are integrated on the conductive component 3, so that the number of parts required for the massage unit 100 as a whole is small, thereby reducing costs and simplifying assembly. In addition, the installation stability of the functional components on the conductive component 3 is high, and the vibration of the vibration component 2 has little effect on the various functions of the conductive component 3, thereby effectively improving the overall working reliability of the massage unit 100. However, some massage units in the related art are equipped with separate heating elements, detection elements, and electrode sheets (for electric pulse functions). During assembly, it is necessary to consider the installation relationship between these separate components, which makes assembly complex, has many parts, high costs, and poor working reliability.
[0150] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 11 As shown, the detection element 35 can be provided in the central region of the main body segment 301. Thus, since the center of the main body segment 301 has a higher contact rate with the human body, by detecting the temperature of at least the central region of the main body segment 301, the usefulness of the detection result can be improved, thereby better protecting the user.
[0151] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, the outer surface of the buffer sleeve 42 has a first avoidance area 402 for avoiding the detection element 35. That is to say, at least a portion of the buffer sleeve 42 is located between the vibration component 2 and the main section 301, and the portion of the buffer sleeve 42 located between the vibration component 2 and the main section 301 has a first avoidance area 402 for avoiding the detection element 35. Thus, while ensuring that this portion of the buffer sleeve 42 can effectively form a close surface contact with the vibration component 2 and the main section 301 respectively, it can avoid the buffer sleeve 42 from squeezing the detection element 35, thereby ensuring the installation stability and working reliability of the detection element 35. In addition, by providing the first avoidance area 402, it can also avoid the protrusion form of the detection element 35 affecting the installation stability of the vibration component 2. It should be noted that the first avoidance area 402 described herein can be in the form of a blind avoidance groove, so as to improve the structural reliability of the buffer sleeve 42. Of course, the first avoidance area 402 can also be in the form of a through hole, as long as it can form an avoidance.
[0152] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9 and Figure 11 As shown, the side of the main body section 301 away from the massage end 101 (eg Figure 4 ) can be pasted with a buffer pad 41. As a result, the buffer pad 41 is easy to set up and can avoid direct contact between the conductive component 3 and the vibration component 2, so that the main segment 301 of the conductive component 3 can be protected during the vibration of the vibration component 2. For example, in a specific example, a double-sided foam with adhesive can be set on the side of the second base film 3B4 away from the first base film 3B2 as the buffer pad 41 or for pasting the buffer pad 41, so as to facilitate the bonding of the buffer pad 41 to the main segment 301 and ensure the buffering effect. In addition, when the detection element 35 is also provided on the side of the main segment 301 away from the massage end 101, the buffer pad 41 can have a third avoidance area 410 for avoiding the detection element 35.
[0153] In the above-mentioned embodiment 2 or embodiment 3, the flexible heating film 3B may further include an extension section 302, at least part of which is disposed in the unit housing 1 and one end (eg Figure 4 The upper end shown in FIG) is connected to the main section 301, and the other end of the extension section 302 (for example Figure 4 The lower end shown in FIG) extends to the side of the vibration component 2 away from the main section 301, and the electrical connection end of the flexible heating film 3B is provided at the other end of the extension section 302. Figure 4In the illustrated example, the flexible heating film 3B extends into the unit housing 1 and upward toward the massage end 101. It passes through the gap between the vibration assembly 2 and the unit housing 1 and then bends to form a main section 301. The main section 301 is sandwiched between the vibration assembly 2 and the massage end 101, and the portion before the bend is the extension section 302. Thus, by providing the extension section 302, extending the other end of the extension section 302 to the side of the vibration assembly 2 away from the main section 301, and positioning the electrical connection end of the flexible heating film 3B at the other end of the extension section 302, the flexible heating film 3B is easily electrically connected to the body 200 of the massager 1000. This effectively avoids electrical connection within the narrow space between the vibration assembly 2 and the unit housing 1, and prevents the electrical connection from falling off due to vibration of the vibration assembly 2, thereby improving the reliability and operability of the electrical connection.
[0154] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown, the outer surface of the buffer sleeve 42 has a second avoidance area 401 for avoiding the extension section 302. In this way, the smooth passage of the extension section 302 can be guaranteed, and the compactness of the space can be improved, so as to avoid the buffer sleeve 42 from squeezing the extension section 302, and ensure the working reliability of the conductive component 3. It should be noted that the second avoidance area 401 described herein can be in the form of a blind avoidance groove, so as to improve the structural reliability of the buffer sleeve 42. Of course, the second avoidance area 401 can also be in the form of a through hole, etc., as long as it can form an avoidance. In addition, the second avoidance area 401 can also be used to form an embedded protection for the extension section 302, that is, the second avoidance area 401 is used to limit the extension section 302 to a certain extent, so as to avoid the vibration of the vibration component 2 from causing damage to the extension section 302, thereby improving the working reliability of the conductive component 3, and then improving the overall working reliability of the massage unit 100.
[0155] For example, Figure 4 In the example shown, the second avoidance area 401 can be formed on the outer peripheral wall of the buffer sleeve 42 and pass through the buffer sleeve 42 along the length direction of the extension section 302, thereby facilitating the processing of the second avoidance area 401 and facilitating the assembly of the extension section 302 and the second avoidance area 401.
[0156] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the unit housing 1 may have a through-hole 125, through which the other end of the extension section 302 extends to the outside of the unit housing 1, or the other end of the extension section 302 is connected to a wire passing through the through-hole 125. Thus, by providing the through-hole 125 in the unit housing 1 and allowing the other end of the extension section 302 to pass through the through-hole 125 to the outside of the unit housing 1, or by connecting the other end of the extension section 302 to the wire passing through the through-hole 125, it is possible to facilitate electrical connection between the conductive component 3 and the electronic control board of the massager 1000, thereby eliminating the need to insert wires into the unit housing 1, thereby facilitating processing and assembly.
[0157] For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the area of the second conductive portion 3011 may be greater than or equal to 7 mm. 2 , for example, it can be 7mm 2 , 7.5mm 2 , 8mm 2 , 8.5mm 2 This is advantageous for processing, and makes the area of the second conductive portion 3011 larger, and the bonding rate with the first conductive portion 1011 higher, making it less likely for poor contact to occur.
[0158] For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the area of the second conductive portion 3011 is 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the area of the surface of the massage end 101 facing the second conductive portion 3011, for example, 1 / 4, 2 / 4, 3 / 4, etc. This facilitates processing and results in a larger area of the second conductive portion 3011, resulting in a higher fit with the first conductive portion 1011 and less prone to poor contact. It should be noted that for ease of measurement, the area of the surface of the massage end 101 facing the second conductive portion 3011 can be used, or the area of the massage end 101 projected onto the plane where the second conductive portion 3011 lies.
[0159] For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the massage end 101 is constructed as a curved surface that convexly faces away from the cushion cover 42. The second conductive portion 3011 is initially flat. The cushion cover 42 elastically compresses the second conductive portion 3011, deforming it to maintain a close contact with the massage end 101. This increases the contact area between the massage end 101 and the human body, improving the reliability of contact and enhancing the massage effect. Furthermore, the flat structure of the second conductive portion 3011 facilitates processing and design, thereby reducing production costs.
[0160] In some embodiments of the present invention, the massage unit 100 may satisfy at least one of the following twelve conditions, that is, the massage unit 100 may satisfy only one of the following twelve conditions, or may satisfy several of the following twelve conditions at the same time, or may satisfy the following twelve conditions at the same time.
[0161] Condition 1: The shape of the first conductive portion 1011 matches the shape of the massage end 101, for example Figure 5 In the example shown, the massage end 101 is circular, and the first conductive part 1011 is also circular or approximately circular. In this way, it can be ensured that the area of the first conductive part 1011 and the massage end 101 is relatively large, so as to enhance the electric pulse massage effect on the human body through a larger area. Moreover, the same or similar shapes facilitate the design and processing of the first conductive part 1011, reducing the design cost. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the first conductive part 1011 can also be designed to be different from and not similar to the shape of the massage end 101. For example, some shape patterns can be constructed on the massage end 101, such as mother-and-child patterns (such as Figure 2 As shown) as the first conductive portion 1011, so as to meet different practical requirements. It should be noted that the "matching shapes" mentioned herein means: the shapes are the same or similar,
[0162] Condition 2: The shape of the main body section 301 matches the shape of the massage end 101, for example Figure 6 In the example shown, the massage end 101 is circular, and the main body section 301 is also circular or approximately circular (e.g. Figure 7 ). This ensures that the main segment 301 and the massage end 101 have a relatively large area, allowing the first conductive portion 1011 and the second conductive portion 3011 to have a larger contact area, thereby enhancing the electric pulse massage effect on the human body. Furthermore, identical or similar shapes facilitate the design, processing, and assembly of the main segment 301. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the main segment 301 can be designed to be different from and not similar to the shape of the massage end 101. For example, when the massage end 101 is circular, the main segment 301 can be processed into a polygonal shape to meet different practical requirements.
[0163] Condition 3: The shape of the main body segment 301 matches the shape of the first conductive portion 1011, for example Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the example shown, the first conductive portion 1011 is circular, and the main body segment 301 is also circular or approximately circular (e.g. Figure 7). This ensures that the main body segment 301 and the first conductive portion 1011 have a relatively large area, thereby allowing the first conductive portion 1011 and the second conductive portion 3011 to have a larger contact area, thereby enhancing the electric pulse massage effect on the human body. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the main body segment 301 can be designed to be different from and not similar to the shape of the first conductive portion 1011. For example, when the first conductive portion 1011 is circular, the main body segment 301 can be processed into a polygonal shape to meet different practical requirements.
[0164] Condition 4: The shape of the second conductive portion 3011 matches the shape of the massage end 101, for example Figure 5 and Figure 7 In the illustrated example, the massage end 101 is circular, and the second conductive portion 3011 is also circular or approximately circular. This ensures that the second conductive portion 3011 and the massage end 101 have a relatively large area, thereby allowing the first conductive portion 1011 and the second conductive portion 3011 to have a larger contact area, thereby enhancing the electric pulse massage effect on the human body. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the second conductive portion 3011 can be designed to be different from and not similar to the shape of the massage end 101. For example, when the massage end 101 is circular, the second conductive portion 3011 can be processed into a polygonal shape to meet different practical requirements.
[0165] Condition 5: The shape of the second conductive portion 3011 matches the shape of the first conductive portion 1011. Figure 5 and Figure 7 In the example shown, the first conductive portion 1011 is circular, and the second conductive portion 3011 is also circular or approximately circular. This ensures that the second conductive portion 3011 is relatively large compared to the first conductive portion 1011, thereby allowing the first conductive portion 1011 and the second conductive portion 3011 to have a larger contact area, thereby enhancing the electric pulse massage effect on the human body. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the second conductive portion 3011 may be designed to be different from and not similar to the shape of the first conductive portion 1011. For example, when the first conductive portion 1011 is circular, the second conductive portion 3011 may be processed into a polygonal shape to meet different practical requirements.
[0166] Condition 6: The shape of the second conductive portion 3011 matches the shape of the main body segment 301, for example Figure 7 In the example shown, the main body segment 301 is circular or approximately circular (eg Figure 7), the second conductive portion 3011 is also circular or approximately circular. In this way, it can be ensured that the area of the second conductive portion 3011 and the main body segment 301 is relatively large, so that the first conductive portion 1011 and the second conductive portion 3011 can have a larger contact area, thereby improving the electric pulse massage effect on the human body. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the second conductive portion 3011 can also be designed to be different from and not similar to the shape of the main body segment 301. For example, when the main body segment 301 is circular or approximately circular (such as Figure 7 ), the second conductive portion 3011 can be processed into a polygon to meet different practical requirements.
[0167] Condition seven: The area of the first conductive portion 1011 is greater than or equal to one-third of the area of the massage end 101. For example, the area of the first conductive portion 1011 can be one-third, one-half, two-thirds, or three-thirds of the area of the massage end 101 (i.e., the entire massage end 101 is constructed as the first conductive portion 1011), etc. In this way, it can be ensured that the area of the first conductive portion 1011 and the massage end 101 are relatively large, so as to enhance the electric pulse massage effect on the human body through a larger area. For example, in a specific example of the present invention, the massage end 101 is constructed as the first conductive portion 1011 as a whole, that is, the entire end of the unit housing 1 is the conductive first conductive portion 1011, or in other words, the massage end 101 is an electrode sheet serving as the first conductive portion 1011, thereby facilitating processing and manufacturing and saving processing steps.
[0168] Condition 8: The area of the main body section 301 is greater than or equal to one-third of the area of the massage end 101. For example, the area of the main body section 301 can be one-third, one-half, or two-thirds of the area of the massage end 101. This ensures that the main body section 301 and the massage end 101 have relatively large areas, thereby allowing the first conductive portion 1011 and the second conductive portion 3011 to have a larger contact area, thereby enhancing the electric pulse massage effect on the human body.
[0169] Condition nine: The area of the main body segment 301 is greater than or equal to one-third of the area of the first conductive portion 1011. For example, the area of the main body segment 301 can be one-third, one-half, two-thirds, or three-thirds of the area of the first conductive portion 1011. This ensures that the main body segment 301 and the first conductive portion 1011 have relatively large areas, thereby allowing the first conductive portion 1011 and the second conductive portion 3011 to have a larger contact area, thereby enhancing the electric pulse massage effect on the human body.
[0170] Condition 10: The area of the second conductive portion 3011 is greater than or equal to one-third of the area of the massage end 101. For example, the area of the second conductive portion 3011 can be one-third, one-half, or two-thirds of the area of the massage end 101. This ensures that the second conductive portion 3011 and the massage end 101 have a relatively large area, thereby allowing the first conductive portion 1011 and the second conductive portion 3011 to have a larger contact area, thereby enhancing the electric pulse massage effect on the human body.
[0171] Condition 11: The area of the second conductive portion 3011 is greater than or equal to one-third of the area of the first conductive portion 1011. For example, the area of the second conductive portion 3011 can be one-third, one-half, two-thirds, three-thirds, or four-thirds of the area of the first conductive portion 1011. This ensures that the second conductive portion 3011 and the first conductive portion 1011 have a larger area, thereby allowing the first conductive portion 1011 and the second conductive portion 3011 to have a larger contact area, thereby enhancing the electric pulse massage effect on the human body.
[0172] Condition 12: The area of the second conductive portion 3011 is greater than or equal to one-third of the area of the main body segment 301. For example, the area of the second conductive portion 3011 can be one-third, one-half, two-thirds, or three-thirds of the area of the main body segment 301. This ensures that the second conductive portion 3011 and the main body segment 301 have a relatively large area, thereby allowing the first conductive portion 1011 and the second conductive portion 3011 to have a larger contact area, thereby enhancing the electric pulse massage effect on the human body.
[0173] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 、 Figure 12-13 As shown, the vibration assembly 2 is interference-fitted within the buffer sleeve 42. That is, the buffer sleeve 42 defines a mounting cavity, and the vibration assembly 2 is interference-fitted within the mounting cavity. Thus, the buffer sleeve 42 can accommodate the vibration assembly 2 through the mounting cavity, and the interference fit can prevent relative movement between the vibration assembly 2 and the buffer sleeve 42, thereby improving the reliability of the fit between the vibration assembly 2 and the buffer sleeve 42.
[0174] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 、 Figure 12-13As shown, the cushioning sleeve 42 includes a first cushioning portion 421, a second cushioning portion 422, and a third cushioning portion 423. The first cushioning portion 421 is located between the second conductive portion 3011 and the vibration assembly 2. The third cushioning portion 423 is located between the side of the vibration assembly 2 away from the second conductive portion 3011 and the unit housing 1. The second cushioning portion 422 surrounds the vibration assembly 2 and connects the first cushioning portion 421 and the second cushioning portion 422. This fully surrounds the vibration assembly 2, further improving the reliability of the fit between the vibration assembly 2 and the cushioning sleeve 42.
[0175] Furthermore, it is understood that when the vibration assembly 2 is interference-fitted within the buffer sleeve 42, the first buffer portion 421 and the third buffer portion 423 clamp the axial end surfaces of the vibration assembly 2, and the second buffer portion 422 wraps tightly around the circumferential wall of the vibration assembly 2. However, when the vibration assembly 2 and the buffer sleeve 42 are clearance-fitted, before the vibration assembly 2 and the buffer sleeve 42 are installed within the unit housing 1, the first buffer portion 421 and the third buffer portion 423 may not wrap tightly around the axial end surfaces of the vibration assembly 2, and / or the second buffer portion 422 may not wrap tightly around the circumferential wall of the vibration assembly 2.
[0176] In some embodiments of the present invention, the third buffer portion 423 includes a mounting opening 403. The cross-section of the mounting opening 403 is smaller than the cross-section of the vibration assembly 2. The vibration assembly 2 is installed into the buffer sleeve 42 through the mounting opening 403 due to the elastic deformation of the buffer sleeve 42. In other words, when the vibration assembly 2 is installed through the mounting opening 403, the buffer sleeve 42 is squeezed and compressed, and the mounting opening 403 is expanded so that the vibration assembly 2 can be installed into the installation cavity. The buffer sleeve 42 then recovers its deformation, and the mounting opening 403 is reduced, completing the installation of the vibration assembly 2. In this way, the vibration assembly 2 and the buffer sleeve 42 can be installed and the vibration assembly 2 can be prevented from falling out of the buffer sleeve 42, thereby further improving the reliability of the fit between the vibration assembly 2 and the buffer sleeve 42.
[0177] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the buffer sleeve 42 is interference-fitted in the unit housing 1. Thus, the reliability of the fit between the buffer sleeve 42 and the unit housing 1 can be ensured, thereby ensuring that the buffer sleeve 42 can reliably function.
[0178] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the unit housing 1 has a first receiving cavity 113 and a second receiving cavity 114. The cross-section of the first receiving cavity 113 is larger than that of the second receiving cavity 114. The second buffer portion 422 includes a large cross-section portion 4221 and a small cross-section portion 4222. The large cross-section portion 4221 is connected to the first buffer portion 421, and the small cross-section portion 4222 is connected to the third buffer portion 423. The cross-section of the large cross-section portion 4221 is larger than that of the small cross-section portion 4222 and larger than that of the second receiving cavity 114. The large cross-section portion 4221 fits in the first receiving cavity 113, and the small cross-section portion 4222 fits in the second receiving cavity 114. As a result, the structure of the buffer sleeve 42 is simple and easy to process. It can also improve the reliability of the fit between the unit housing 1 and the buffer sleeve 42, preventing the buffer sleeve 42 from falling out of the unit housing 1.
[0179] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first positioning structure is provided on the peripheral wall surface of the buffer sleeve 42, and a second positioning structure is provided on the unit housing 1. The first positioning structure and the second positioning structure cooperate to restrict the rotation of the buffer sleeve 42 relative to the unit housing 1. This improves the installation stability of the buffer sleeve 42 and enhances assembly efficiency. For example, in some specific examples, one of the first and second positioning structures is a positioning protrusion, and the other is a positioning groove, thereby facilitating assembly and ensuring reliable positioning.
[0180] In some embodiments of the present invention, the buffer sleeve 42 may be an integrally formed part, thereby facilitating processing.
[0181] In some embodiments, the cushion cover 42 includes a portion located between the vibration component 2 and the massage end 101, and a cushion pad 41 is provided on the side of the vibration component 2 near the massage end 101, located between the conductive component 3 and the cushion cover 42. This facilitates processing and manufacturing, and the cushion cover 42 can better compress the conductive component 3.
[0182] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cushion pad 41 is bonded to the conductive component 3 or the cushion sleeve 42. This facilitates the installation and positioning of the cushion pad 41, allowing it to fully function. During assembly, the cushion pad 41 can be bonded to the conductive component 3 or the cushion sleeve 42 first, thus achieving modular assembly and reducing assembly difficulty. It should be noted that the number of cushion pads 41 is not limited and can be one or more.
[0183] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cushioning sleeve 42 may be made of silicone, rubber, or foam. For example, the cushioning pad 41 may be made of silicone, rubber, or foam, and the cushioning sleeve 42 may also be made of silicone, rubber, or foam. This allows the cushioning sleeve 42 to fully exert the aforementioned compression effect, while being low-cost and easy to mass-produce.
[0184] In a specific example of the present invention, a buffer pad 41 is attached to the side of the massage end 101 of the conductive component 3 facing away from the unit housing 1, and a third avoidance area 410 is provided in the middle of the buffer pad 41 for avoiding the detection element 35. In this way, the protrusion of the detection element 35 can be avoided to affect the installation stability of the vibration component 2. The outer periphery of the vibration component 2 is provided with a buffer sleeve 42, and the top of the buffer sleeve 42 clamped between the conductive component 3 and the vibration component 2 is a first buffer portion 421, and the first buffer portion 421 has a buffer deformation capability. In this way, when the vibration component 2 is installed, the first buffer portion 421 can be compressed, and the first buffer portion 421 can press against the conductive component 3, so that the conductive component 3 is clamped between the buffer sleeve 42 and the massage end 101 of the unit shell 1, ensuring that the second conductive portion 3011 on the conductive component 3 is in close contact with the first conductive portion 1011 on the unit shell 1, and the bottom of the buffer sleeve 42 clamped between the side of the vibration component 2 away from the conductive component 3 and the unit shell 1 is a third buffer portion 423, and the third buffer portion 423 will be squeezed and deformed, and can also make the second conductive portion 3011 of the conductive component 3 be clamped between the buffer sleeve 42 and the massage end 101 of the unit shell 1, ensuring that the second conductive portion 3011 on the conductive component 3 is in close contact with the first conductive portion 1011 on the unit shell 1. The buffer sleeve 42 can be a poor conductor of heat and can also play a role in reducing heat loss. In addition, the buffer sleeve 42 is provided with a first avoidance area 402 for avoiding the detection element 35.
[0185] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the unit housing 1 includes a housing cover 11 and a housing base 12. The housing cover 11 is assembled and connected to the housing base 12. The housing cover 11 is made of a conductive material, while the housing base 12 is made of a non-conductive material. The end of the housing cover 11 away from the housing base 12 is formed into a massage end 101. As a result, the structure of the unit housing 1 is simple, facilitating the installation of the vibration component 2 and the conductive component 3 therein. Moreover, the conductive material of the housing cover 11 allows the massage end 101 to be integrally constructed as a first conductive portion 1011.
[0186] In some embodiments of the present invention, the housing base 12 is a hard material and includes a support portion 121. The support portion 121 is located on the side of the vibration component 2 away from the second conductive portion 3011, and a portion of the buffer sleeve 42 (such as the third buffer portion 423 described above) is located between the vibration component 2 and the support portion 121. Thus, by providing the hard support portion 121, it can be ensured that the buffer sleeve 42 effectively presses the second conductive portion 3011 and fits the massage end 101. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments of the present invention, the support portion 121 described above can also be provided on the housing cover 11, or the unit housing 1 can also include a support portion 121 assembled and connected to the housing base 12 or the housing cover 11. These will not be described in detail here.
[0187] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the circumferential surface of the buffer sleeve 42 is interference-fitted with the inner circumferential wall of the housing cover 11. Therefore, during assembly, the buffer sleeve 42, the vibration component 2, and the conductive component 3 can be first installed on the housing cover 11 to form a module, and then the module can be assembled with the housing base 12, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0188] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the housing base 12 may include a socket portion 122, which defines a plug-in cavity 123. The housing cover 11 includes a massage head 111 and a plug-in portion 112. The cross-section of the massage head 111 is larger than the cross-section of the plug-in portion 112. The plug-in portion 112 is plugged into the plug-in cavity 123, and the massage head 111 is stopped outside the plug-in cavity 123. The end surface of the massage head 111 away from the plug-in portion 112 forms the massage end 101. Thus, the housing base 12 and the housing cover 11 can be assembled simply and effectively, and the housing cover 11 and the housing base 12 can be simply and effectively restrained from each other, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0189] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the insertion cavity 123 away from the massage head 111 is the cavity bottom wall 1231. The cavity bottom wall 1231 is located on the side of the vibration assembly 2 away from the second conductive portion 3011. A portion of the buffer sleeve 42 (e.g., the third buffer portion 423) is located between the vibration assembly 2 and the cavity bottom wall 1231. Thus, the cavity bottom wall 1231 can be used to support the vibration assembly 2 and the buffer sleeve 42, allowing the buffer sleeve 42 to directly or indirectly press the second conductive portion 3011 against the massage end 101. The cavity bottom wall 1231 can also serve as an installation limiter for the vibration assembly 2 and the buffer sleeve 42. It should be noted that the cavity bottom wall 1231 can be a hard material as a specific example of the support portion 121, thereby ensuring the structural reliability of the unit housing 1 and reliably supporting the third buffer portion 423, ensuring that the buffer sleeve 42 can effectively press the second conductive portion 3011 against the massage end 101.
[0190] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the shell base 12 may include a connecting portion 124, which is in the shape of a hollow column. The cross section of the connecting portion 124 is smaller than the cross section of the socket portion 122. One end of the connecting portion 124 is connected to the bottom wall 1231 of the cavity, and the other end of the connecting portion 124 is suitable for connecting to the body 200 of the massager 1000. Therefore, on the one hand, the connecting portion 124 can be used to connect to the body 200, and on the other hand, the characteristic of the smaller cross section can be used to limit the vibration component 2 to prevent the vibration component 2 from falling out of the connecting portion 124. In addition, setting the connecting portion 124 in a columnar shape is also beneficial for the overall swinging of the unit housing 1 during vibration, and setting the connecting portion 124 in a hollow column shape is beneficial for the connection of the conductive component 3 to the circuit board of the massager 1000, etc. For example, the open end of the connecting portion 124 can be used as the above-mentioned through-hole 125. In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the socket portion 122 and the connecting portion 124 are integrally formed, thereby facilitating processing and assembly.
[0191] Next, a massage apparatus 1000 according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0192] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the massager 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention may include a body 200 and a massage unit 100 for the massager 1000 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The massage units 100 are multiple and connected to the body 200. The body 200 has an electric pulse generator, and the second conductive portion 3011 is electrically connected to the electric pulse generator. The specific type of the massager 1000 is not limited, and it can be a wearable massager or a handheld massager, etc. The wearable massager can be an eye massager A, a neck massager B, a waist massager, etc. The other components of the massager 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention are known to ordinary technicians in this field after the type of the massager 1000 is determined, and will not be described in detail here.
[0193] Therefore, according to the massager 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, first, by arranging the electric pulse generating device on the body 200, that is, the electric pulse generating device is placed outside the massage unit 100, and the massage unit 100 is electrically connected to the electric pulse generating device, the volume and weight of the massage unit 100 are reduced on the basis of being able to realize electric pulse massage, and the vibration energy consumption and vibration noise can be reduced when the massage unit 100 vibrates for massage.
[0194] Second, by arranging an elastically deformable buffer sleeve 42 in the unit housing 1 to wrap at least a portion of the vibration component 2, the elastic force of the vibration component 2 and the unit housing 1 that causes the buffer sleeve 42 to be compressed and deformed is utilized to squeeze the second conductive part 3011 and electrically connect it with the first conductive part 1011, so that regardless of whether the vibration component 2 vibrates, the first conductive part 1011 can reliably maintain an electrical connection with the second conductive part 3011. In other words, even if the vibration component 2 vibrates, since the buffer sleeve 42 is always in a compressed state and has elastic force, it can effectively squeeze the second conductive part 3011 and the first conductive part 1011 to form an electrical connection, thereby achieving reliable electric pulse massage.
[0195] Third, the elastic force of the buffer sleeve 42 is also used to press the vibration component 2 into the unit shell 1, thereby improving the installation stability of the vibration component 2, preventing the vibration component 2 from colliding with the unit shell 1 during vibration, and avoiding the impact and noise problems caused by the vibration of the vibration component 2 relative to the unit shell 1. It also improves the reliability of the vibration component 2 driving the unit shell 1 to vibrate synchronously, so that the massage unit 100 can perform reliable vibration massage on the human body.
