Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of finger massagers, and in particular to an intelligent finger massager. Background Art

[0002] Since fully connecting to the international internet in 1994, China's internet has grown from nothing to a powerful force, profoundly transforming people's lives and work. As of March 2020, my country had 904 million internet users, with an internet penetration rate of 64.5%. Mobile internet access accounted for 99.3% of these users, and the total number of mobile internet users reached 879 million. Among my country's internet users, students, self-employed individuals / freelancers, and corporate / company managers accounted for 26.9%, 22.4%, and 10.9%, respectively. While the development of the internet has greatly facilitated modern people's learning, daily life, and work, some people have also experienced physical damage due to their internet use and dependence. For example, office workers who repetitively type on keyboards and move their mice daily experience excessive strain on their fingers, leading to damage to nerves and muscles in their hands. Mobile phone addicts, known as "phone addicts," experience neuropathic pain in their fingers from prolonged daily use. The constant use of computers, mobile phones, and other internet-related products has increased the strain on hand muscles and joints, leading to a dramatic increase in cases of physiological hand injuries. Hand discomfort has a significant negative impact on people's daily lives.

[0003] As one of China's oldest medical treatments, massage has undergone significant changes in the modern era amidst the rapid advancement of technology. From primitive manual massage to manual massage using instruments like rollers, it has evolved to the widespread use of modern massage devices. Modern massage devices originated in the 1960s, boasting a decades-long history. Since the beginning of the 21st century, massage device consumption has become prevalent in North America, Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, with the global market continuing to expand. China is now one of the fastest-growing regions in the world in terms of demand for massage devices.

[0004] Considering the current social demand for hand massage and the development of technology in today's era, research on various functional aspects of hand massage devices at home and abroad has basically achieved the goal of scientific and technological development. People have basically bid farewell to the stage where users need to manually massage and entered the stage of programmed massage after mechanical settings. At present, the common hand massagers on the market generally adopt several forms to achieve finger massage, such as: setting holes to prevent fingers from moving, connecting the massage mechanism with a push mechanism to push the massage mechanism to move back and forth towards the finger holes; using magnetic vibrators and medical magnets to achieve massage, etc., which have complete massage functions, portability, and diversified massage function implementation methods, meeting people's basic physiological needs for hand massage.

[0005] However, these hand massagers also have a significant shortcoming: their programming is mechanical. With the development of artificial intelligence, AI technology will inspire people to pursue more personalized hand massages. Current hand massagers vibrate according to a pre-programmed vibration, massaging only the areas within a pre-set range. They don't recognize the user's hand shape based on actual differences, such as size and weight, to provide personalized massages. Furthermore, massagers currently on the market generally lack human-computer interaction, relying solely on button controls and limited display screen interaction. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems in the background technology and provide an intelligent finger massager.

[0007] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] An intelligent finger massager includes a housing and a voice control module, a massage execution module, a camera recognition module, and a central control module arranged in the housing, wherein the voice control module, the camera recognition module, and the massage execution module are respectively connected to the central control module;

[0011] The massage execution module is used to perform rolling massage on the fingers.

[0012] By placing your finger inside the box, the user interacts with the voice control module and asks them pre-set questions, including selecting massage speed, duration, and temperature (high, medium, or low). After each question is asked, the massage system automatically presets to the desired mode based on the user's response.

[0013] Camera recognition system: The Raspberry Pi takes a photo and processes the user's finger image through image processing, and analyzes the thickness and length of the user's finger. After processing, the user's finger information is submitted to the Arduino board for the next step of controlling the robotic arm.

[0014] Central control module: The Arduino board communicates with the voice control module and the camera recognition module at the same time. It obtains the user's preset mode information through the voice control module and the user's finger information through the camera recognition module. The Arduino board matches the corresponding action that the robotic arm needs to perform based on the finger data. The Arduino board controls the massage speed, massage strength, and massage temperature of the robotic arm based on the information obtained from voice interaction.

[0015] Massage execution module: The robotic arm is controlled by an Arduino board. A heated ball mechanism is installed at the base of the arm, which performs massage based on the user's mode and finger information. During the massage, the ball rolls along the user's finger, maintaining a heated temperature for comfort. At the end of the massage, the robotic arm automatically returns to its original position, and a voice prompt indicates the end of the massage.

[0016] Preferably, the massage execution module includes a robotic arm, a heated ball mechanism is installed at the bottom of the robotic arm, and the ball mechanism includes a first fixed column, a top massage ball structure, a left L-shaped fixed frame, a right L-shaped fixed frame, a left massage ball structure, and a right massage ball structure.

The left massage ball structure and the right massage ball structure are arranged opposite to each other. The top of the finger is massaged by the top massage ball structure, and the left and right massage ball structures are massaged by the left and right massage ball structures, so that the finger can be massaged more comprehensively and the discomfort of the finger can be relieved.

[0017] Preferably, the top massage ball structure includes a first fixed block and a first ball. A first ball slot is formed at the bottom of the first fixed block. The slot of the first ball slot has two half-through slots along the axial direction. The two half-through slots are arranged opposite to each other. The first ball is clamped in the first ball slot and can roll freely. The first ball can be clamped into the first ball slot through the half-through slot, and then the first ball slot is embedded in the first ball slot, rolling freely without falling.

[0019] Preferably, the left massage ball structure includes a second fixed column, an airbag, a second heating plate, a heat insulation board, a second fixed block, and a second ball. The second fixed column is fixedly connected to the inner side of the left L-shaped fixing frame.

The pressure sensor detects the pressure in the airbag, and by detecting the pressure value, it is determined that the ball is close to the side wall of the finger, so that the left massage ball structure can always roll in accordance with the side wall of the finger. After that, the airbag is deflated, so that the heat insulation plate, the second heating plate, and the second fixed block are not subjected to the squeezing force and can move freely back and forth in the first fixed column, so that the ball can leave the side wall of the finger, thereby realizing rolling massage of the left side wall of the finger. The airbag controls deflation and inflation, which is a very mature technology and will not be described in detail in this case.

[0020] The airbag can be separated from the second heating plate by the heat insulation plate to prevent the heating from affecting the airbag.

A fifth servo is provided at the connection between the second arm and the fixed portion to control the rotation of the fixed portion perpendicular to the axis of the second arm. The clamp further comprises a sixth servo for controlling the movement of the movable portion. The movement of the robotic arm is achieved by the first and fifth servos, which are rotatable about the axis, the second, third, and fourth servos, which change the angle of the robotic joint, and a sixth servo at the bottom to control the clamp angle. The six servos provide power to each free dimension of the robotic arm, making the operation of the robotic arm smoother.

[0027] Preferably, a finger placement plate is provided in the box body, and the finger placement plate is located below the massage execution module. The finger placement plate is also provided with a sensing device that can sense the position of the finger. At the same time, two straight laser heads are provided on the box body, which can form a cross on the finger placement plate, thereby prompting the user to place the finger in an area for easy placement of the finger.

[0028] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0029] 1. This invention uses image recognition technology, utilizing a camera module to collect finger information of the current user. Based on the collected finger length and width data, the robot arm controls its trajectory. This control then controls the top, left, and right massage ball structures, working in conjunction with heated balls to perform a rolling massage on the inserted fingers. This meets the user's personalized needs and makes the massage program more tailored to the current user. Secondly, it changes the form of human-computer interaction, abandoning the traditional button-based selection method in favor of voice call, which can adapt to more practical usage situations and realize a technologically advanced and modernized personalized home massage.

[0030] 2. The present invention massages the top of the finger through the top massage ball structure, and massages the left and right sides of the finger through the left and right massage ball structures, which can more comprehensively massage the finger and relieve the discomfort of the finger;

[0031] 3. The present invention heats the balls through the first heating plate, which conducts heat from the heat-conducting holes to the balls through the heat-conducting plate, thereby heating the balls and promoting blood circulation and maintaining a sense of comfort during the massage process.

[0032] 4. In this invention, inflation of the airbag pushes the heat shield, second heating plate, and second fixing block toward the opening of the second fixing column. A pressure sensor detects the pressure within the airbag and determines, based on the pressure value, whether the ball roller is in close contact with the side wall of the finger, thereby ensuring that the left massage ball structure always rolls in contact with the side wall of the finger. Subsequently, deflation of the airbag frees the heat shield, second heating plate, and second fixing block from being squeezed and can freely move back and forth within the first fixing column, allowing the ball roller to leave the side wall of the finger, thereby achieving rolling massage of the left side wall of the finger.

[0033] 5. The present invention controls the first movable part through the control of the sixth servo, thereby controlling the upper gear part and the lower gear part meshing with the upper gear part, thereby controlling the second movable part, the third movable part, the fourth movable part, the fifth movable part and the sixth movable part, thereby controlling the clamping angle, thereby controlling the spacing of the massage ball structure to match the thickness of the user's fingers, making it more user-friendly.

[0055] Physical principles:

[0056] The speech recognition module filters and samples the sound signal. This process is primarily intended to eliminate interference from signals with frequencies other than human speech and the 50Hz current frequency. This process is typically accomplished using a bandpass filter with set upper and lower frequency thresholds, followed by quantization of the original discrete signal. The transition between the high-frequency and low-frequency portions of the signal is then smoothed, allowing the spectrum to be solved under the same signal-to-noise ratio, making analysis more convenient and rapid. Frame segmentation and windowing are employed to impart short-term stability to the original time-varying frequency domain signal. This involves dividing the continuous signal into independent, stable frequency domain components using acquisition windows of varying lengths for analysis.

[0057] The servo's rotation angle range is typically 0 to 180 degrees. This is typically controlled by pulse width control. Typically, a servo has three input lines (power positive, ground, and signal). The PWM signal is input via the signal line. The host computer generates a square wave with a period of approximately 20ms as input. The duty cycle of the square wave determines the servo's rotation angle. When a control signal is sent to the servo, the output shaft rotates to a specific position. As long as the control signal remains constant, the servo maintains the shaft's angular position. If the control signal changes, the output shaft's position changes accordingly.

[0058] Unlike common hand massagers on the market, the hand massager designed by our team is user-friendly and offers superior human-computer interaction. To address the current problem of mechanized massager programming, our team designed a hand massager that matches the user's hand data. At the start of use, a camera module captures the user's hand. The captured image is then sent to the data processing hub, where it is processed using OpenCV to obtain the user's hand data. The massage program then fine-tunes the massage path to suit the user. This device recognizes both left and right hands and hand shape, achieving high accuracy.

[0059] In terms of the user operation module, button control is commonly used in the current market. Taking into account the situation where buttons may not be manually operated during actual use, our team made adjustments to the device and implemented voice control. This will make the use of the massager more convenient in actual situations and the human-computer interaction more effective.

[0060] The control board uses Arduino Mega2560 as an example. The workflow is as follows:

[0061] When the main switch is turned on, the device starts up and the top LED lights up; the voice recognition module identifies the set program running keywords and transmits the data to the control board Arduino Mega2560; the control board Arduino Mega2560 processes the data and feeds back the information to the voice broadcast module, which prompts the user to select the desired massage temperature, massage head massage speed, and massage program duration in sequence. The voice recognition module is used to identify keywords selected by the user, and the identified keywords are converted into data information and fed back to the control board Arduino Mega2560. After completing the massage program selection, the voice broadcast module plays a voice prompt to remind the user to put his hand. At the same time, the two straight laser heads installed on the left inner wall are powered on to prompt the user to place his hand. The chip capacitor placed on the operating table is used to sense the placement of the user's hand. The control board Arduino Mega2560 processes the data fed back by the chip capacitor to determine whether the user's hand is placed in the appropriate position; After determining that the user's hand is placed in the appropriate position, the control board sends a command to the power supply board Arduino Mega2560; The power supply board receives the command, converts the command into ASCII code format that can be recognized by the Raspberry Pi, and sends it to the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi receives the command, starts the camera module on the top of the device, takes a picture of the user's hand placed in the correct position, and collects the user's hand information. The Raspberry Pi receives the user's hand image captured by the camera module and uses OpenCV The program analyzes and processes the received image, extracting various data such as the position of the hand and the length of the fingers. The Raspberry Pi uses OpenCV to process the image as follows: first, the reference points in the image captured by the camera are compared with the inherent reference points and baselines defined by the two laser lights. Based on the hand contour identified and depicted by the program, the Raspberry Pi sends the extracted numerical information to the Arduino Mega2560 power supply board. After data conversion, the data is transmitted to the control board, which further processes the received data and sends it to the Arduino Nano, the main control board of the robotic arm. The Arduino Nano incorporates the received hand information into the pre-set massage program and then sends the massage command information to the servo control board. The servo control board controls the movement of each servo according to the received command, and the massager performs a massage adapted to the current user's hand condition. After the massage program is completed, the control board sends a command to the voice broadcast module to notify the user that the massage is over.

[0062] Working principle: Figure 1-11As shown, place your finger in the box 1, interact with the user through the voice control module 2, and ask the user questions through preset voice questions. The specific questions include: selecting the massage speed, selecting the massage duration, and selecting the massage temperature (high, medium, and low). After each question is asked, the massage system is automatically preset to the required mode according to the user's answer. Then, the Raspberry Pi of the camera recognition module 4 takes a photo and processes the user's finger image through image processing, and performs data analysis on the thickness and length of the user's finger. After the processing is completed, the user's finger information is submitted to the central control module 5. The central control module 5 communicates with the voice control module and the camera recognition module at the same time, obtains the mode information preset by the user through the voice control module, and obtains the user's finger information through the camera recognition module. The central control module 5 matches the corresponding action that the robotic arm 30 needs to perform based on the finger data, and controls the clamping angle of the clamping member 305 of the robotic arm 30 by analyzing the thickness and length of the user's finger, thereby controlling the distance between the two first balls, thereby controlling the distance between the two second balls 656, and then the heating plate starts to work so that the balls can be heated. The central control module 5 controls the inflation of the airbag 652 to put the second balls 656 at the same time. The second ball 656 moves toward the side wall of the finger. When the pressure detected by the pressure sensor meets the index, the inflation stops, so that the second ball 656 fits the side wall of the finger, and then the top and side wall of the first finger 10 are subjected to a fitting rolling massage, while maintaining the heated temperature to ensure comfort. After the massage of the first finger is completed, the central control module 5 controls the airbag 652 to deflate, so that the second ball 656 can move in the second fixed column 651. Then the robotic arm 30 moves to the next finger with the heated ball mechanism 6, repeats the massage steps of the first finger, and then completes the massage of each finger. After the massage is completed, the robotic arm will automatically return to its original position, and at the same time, a voice prompt will be given to the user that the massage is over, which meets the personalized needs of the user and makes the massage program more suitable for the current user. Secondly, the form of human-computer interaction has been changed, and the traditional button-type selection method has been abandoned. Voice calling is adopted to adapt to more actual usage situations and realize a technological and modern home customized massage.
