Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of massage devices, and in particular, to a method and device for dredging a liquid-permeating electrode of a massager, a massager, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Generally, a massager outputs an electrical pulse signal through a configured electrode assembly to act on human muscles, so as to massage the muscles and relieve fatigue. The electrode assembly includes at least two electrodes. During one electrical pulse output, the two electrodes serve as the positive electrode and the negative electrode respectively, and are attached to the human skin. Since the human body conducts electricity, a circuit is formed, and the current flows through the neck skin and muscles to achieve electrical pulse massage.

[0003] It is found in use that when the degree of fit between the user's skin and the electrode is poor or the user's skin is dry, the impedance between the two electrodes is relatively large, resulting in a very small current flowing through the human skin and muscles, and the user may not even feel it, thus greatly affecting the user experience.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the massagers in related technologies adopt microporous electrodes, and the microporous electrodes permeate liquid to the user's skin to moisten the skin, increase the contact area between the electrode and the skin, and reduce the impedance. However, due to the very small pore diameter of the micropores, during daily wearing, the micropores will be blocked due to factors such as human skin sweat and dust, resulting in the liquid being unable to ooze out, thereby deteriorating the use effect of the massager.

In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0093] In the current related art, a massager, by setting microporous electrodes, can not only output electrical pulse signals to massage the user, but also seep liquid through the micropores to the user's skin to moisten the skin, increase the contact area between the electrodes and the skin, and reduce the impedance. However, due to the very small pore diameter of the micropores, during daily wearing, the micropores will be blocked due to factors such as human skin sweat and dust, resulting in the inability of the liquid to seep out, thus deteriorating the use effect of the massager. In view of the above problems, the embodiments of this application provide a method and device for dredging the liquid-seeping electrodes of a massager, a massager, and a storage medium, which can timely dredge the liquid-seeping electrodes when they are blocked and unable to seep liquid, improving the user experience. The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0094] In the embodiments of this application, the massager can be a wearable massager, which can include but is not limited to a neck massager, an eye massager, a waist massager, etc. Figure 1 Taking the neck massager as an example for illustration, as Figure 1 shown, the massager 100 can at least include an electrode assembly 10, a liquid storage device 20, a massager body 30, and a hole-blocking flushing device ( Figure 1 not shown in the figure). Among them, the electrode assembly 10 can include at least one group of microporous electrode pairs. The electrode assembly 10 is arranged on the massager body 30 and can be used to output current pulse signals to electrically stimulate parts such as the user's skin and acupoints to achieve a massage effect. The liquid storage device 20 is arranged on the massager body 30 and is used to store the conductive liquid. The liquid storage device 20 can be fixedly connected to the massage body 30 or detachably connected to the massager body 30. The electrode assembly 10 can be connected through a liquid guide tube ( Figure 1is not shown) is connected to the liquid storage device 20. When receiving a liquid seepage instruction, it guides the conductive liquid stored in the liquid storage device 20 into the electrode assembly 10, so as to seep the conductive liquid onto the user's skin through the micropores on the microporous electrodes in the electrode assembly 10. The pore-blocking flushing device can be arranged inside the massager body 30 and is used to unblock in time when the micropores on the microporous electrodes are blocked and cannot seep liquid normally, so that the conductive liquid can seep out normally and the use effect of the massager is improved.

[0095] It can be understood that Figure 1 only one structural form of the neck massager is shown, and the massager in the embodiments of the present application is not limited to Figure 1 the shown structural form, and it can also be other structural forms, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for unblocking the seepage electrode of a massager shown in the embodiments of the present application. This method can be applied to the above-mentioned massager 100. As Figure 2 shown, this method can include the following steps:

[0097] 210. After obtaining the liquid seepage instruction, guide the conductive liquid stored in the liquid storage device into the electrode assembly.

[0098] Among them, the electrode assembly can include at least one group of microporous electrode pairs. One group of microporous electrode pairs includes two microporous electrodes, and one or more micropores can be arranged on one microporous electrode. The pore size of the micropores is at the micron (μm) level. For example, the pore size range of one micropore can be but is not limited to 4μm to 50μm, and the distance between two adjacent micropores on one microporous electrode can be but is not limited to 200μm to 500μm.

[0099] In the embodiments of the present application, the liquid seepage instruction can be initiated by the user. For example, the user can input a liquid seepage instruction to the massager according to their own needs to instruct the massager to perform a liquid seepage operation. Among them, the user can operate a specific button set on the massager to input the liquid seepage instruction, or the user can input the liquid seepage instruction on a mobile device (such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc.) connected to the massager to instruct the massager to perform a liquid seepage operation.

[0100] In addition, the seepage instruction can also be initiated by the massager itself. For example, the massager can periodically monitor the impedance values of each microelectrode pair. If the impedance value is greater than the preset impedance value, a seepage instruction is generated. Among them, the impedance value of the microelectrode pair can be regarded as the impedance value of the load between the microelectrode pairs. When the human body wears it, the human skin contacts the microelectrode pair, and this impedance value is mainly affected by factors such as the contact between the skin and the electrode and the humidity of the skin surface. When the impedance value between the microelectrode pairs is greater than the preset impedance value, it can indicate that the impedance value between the current microelectrode pair and the user's skin is large, which will make the current flowing through the user's skin very small, resulting in a poor massage experience for the user.

[0101] The conductive liquid stored in the liquid storage device is introduced into the electrode assembly, and the conductive liquid is exuded onto the user's skin through the micropores on the microelectrode pairs in the electrode assembly. After the liquid infiltrates the skin, the contact area between the skin and the electrode assembly can be increased, and the dielectric constant between the two can be changed, thereby reducing the impedance value of the electrode assembly and improving the massage effect.

[0102] Among them, the conductive liquid can be introduced into all the microelectrode pairs included in the electrode assembly, or the conductive liquid can only be introduced into the microelectrode pairs in the working state in the electrode assembly, and not into the non-working microelectrode pairs.

[0103] Among them, the conductive liquid can be an electrolyte solution (such as physiological saline) or a conductive liquid such as water.

[0104] 220. Detect the seepage state of the microelectrodes in the electrode assembly.

[0105] Among them, the seepage state of the microelectrode pairs in the working state in the electrode assembly can be detected. The clogging condition of the micropores on the microelectrode pairs can be determined through the seepage state of the microelectrodes. For example, the seepage state of each microelectrode pair in the working state is obtained by detecting the change in the impedance value before and after seepage of the microelectrode pair. Another example is to obtain the seepage state of each microelectrode in the working state by detecting the pressure condition at the liquid guide tube of the microelectrode.

[0106] 230. Determine the target microelectrode that meets the preset clogging condition according to the seepage state.

[0107] Among them, when determining the seepage state by the change in the impedance value between the microelectrode pairs, if the impedance value between the microelectrode pairs hardly changes or the change difference is very small before and after seepage, it can be considered that it meets the preset clogging condition. At this time, at least one of the microelectrodes in the microelectrode pair is clogged, and both of the two microelectrodes included in the microelectrode pair are determined as the target microelectrodes.

[0108] Among them, when determining the liquid leakage state based on the pressure condition of the microporous electrode liquid guiding tube, if the pressure at the liquid guiding tube is relatively large during liquid leakage, it can be considered that the preset blockage condition is met, and at this time, the microporous electrode is determined as the target microporous electrode.

[0109] 240. Use the hole-blocking flushing device to dredge the target microporous electrode.

[0110] Among them, the hole-blocking flushing device can include but is not limited to an ultrasonic generating device, a vortex generating device, etc. When a microporous electrode is blocked, a hole-blocking cleaning instruction can be generated to control the hole-blocking flushing device to dredge the blocked target microporous electrode.

[0111] For example, under the control of the hole-blocking cleaning instruction, the ultrasonic generating device generates ultrasonic waves in the liquid guiding tube connected to the target microporous electrode. The ultrasonic waves cause oscillations inside the liquid to flush the micropores.

[0112] For example, under the control of the hole-blocking cleaning instruction, the vortex generating device generates a vortex in the liquid guiding tube connected to the target microporous electrode, causing the liquid to oscillate and flush the micropores.

[0113] The method provided in the embodiments of the present application, after obtaining the liquid leakage instruction, can introduce the conductive liquid stored in the liquid storage device on the massager into the electrode assembly on the massager, and detect the liquid leakage state of the microporous electrodes in the electrode assembly. According to this liquid leakage state, the target microporous electrode that meets the preset blockage condition can be determined, and the hole-blocking flushing device in the massager can be used to dredge the target microporous electrode. Through the above processing, when it is detected that a microporous electrode is blocked and liquid cannot leak successfully, the blocked hole can be dredged in time, enabling the liquid to leak out normally, thereby increasing the contact area between the user's skin and the electrode assembly and improving the user experience.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is a schematic flowchart of another method for dredging the liquid leakage electrode of the massager shown in the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 3 shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0115] 310. After obtaining the liquid leakage instruction, introduce the conductive liquid stored in the liquid storage device into the electrode assembly.

[0116] 320. Detect the liquid leakage state of the microporous electrodes in the electrode assembly.

[0117] 330. According to this liquid leakage state, determine the target microporous electrode that meets the preset blockage condition.

[0118] Among them, for the specific implementation manners of steps 310 to 330, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions in steps 210 to 230 in the previous embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0119] 340. Detect the wearing status of the massage device.

[0120] In the embodiments of the present application, whether the massage device is worn can be determined by detecting one or more parameters such as the impedance value, capacitance value, distance value, and pressure value of the massage device. Since the above parameters will change before and after the massage device is worn, the wearing status of the massage device can be determined by the change of these parameters.

[0121] Optionally, the wearing status of the massage device can be determined by detecting the impedance value between the microelectrode pairs in the working state in the electrode assembly. Preferably, the target microelectrode is not included in the microelectrode pair. When the massage device is worn by the user, due to the conductivity of the human body, the microelectrode pair is conducted with the human body, and the impedance value is small. When the user does not wear the massage device, the air between the microelectrode pairs cannot be conducted, making the impedance value very large. Therefore, when the impedance value between the microelectrode pairs is greater than a preset critical impedance value, it can be considered that the massage device is in the unworn state; otherwise, it can be considered that the massage device is in the worn state.

[0122] Optionally, one or more capacitance sensors can be set on the massage device, and the wearing status of the massage device can be determined by obtaining the capacitance value of the capacitance sensor. Among them, the capacitance sensor can be a capacitive proximity sensor. When the human body approaches the capacitance sensor, the capacitance value increases, and when the human body moves away from the capacitance sensor, the capacitance value decreases. Therefore, when the capacitance value of the capacitance sensor is less than the preset capacitance value, it can be considered that the massage device is in the unworn state; otherwise, it can be considered that the massage device is in the worn state.

[0123] Optionally, one or more distance sensors can be set on the massage device, and the wearing status of the massage device can be determined by the distance value obtained by the distance sensor. Among them, the distance sensor can be at least one of an infrared distance sensor, a laser distance sensor, an ultrasonic distance sensor, etc. When the human body approaches the massage device, the distance value becomes smaller; when the human body moves away from the massage device, the distance value becomes larger. Therefore, when the distance value measured by the distance sensor is greater than the preset distance value, it can be considered that the massage device is in the unworn state; otherwise, it can be considered that the massage device is in the worn state.

[0124] Optionally, one or more pressure sensors can be set on the massage device, and the wearing status of the massage device can be determined by the pressure value obtained by the pressure sensor. When the human body contacts the massage device, a pressure value will be generated; when the human body does not contact the massage device, the pressure value tends to 0. Therefore, when the pressure value measured by the pressure sensor is less than the preset pressure value, it can be considered that the massage device is in the unworn state; otherwise, it can be considered that the massage device is in the worn state.

[0125] It can be understood that the wearing state of the massager can also be jointly determined by combining two or more of the above methods, so as to further improve the accuracy of wearing state detection.

[0126] 350. When the massager is in an unworn state, use the hole-blocking flushing device to dredge the target microporous electrode.

[0127] Among them, when the user removes the massager and it is in an unworn state, hole-blocking cleaning is only carried out, that is, the hole-blocking flushing device is controlled to perform an operation of dredging the blocked hole of the target microporous electrode.

[0128] 360. When the massager is in a worn state, output a first prompt message to guide the user to remove the massager.

[0129] Among them, when the massager is worn by the user, in the case of detecting that a microporous electrode is blocked, the user can be reminded first that the massager needs to be cleaned, and the user is prompted to remove the massager, so as to avoid the dirt washed out from soiling the user's skin when wearing.

[0130] The method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when it is detected that a microporous electrode is blocked and liquid cannot seep out successfully, further determines whether the massager is worn. When it is not worn, the blocked hole is dredged in time, which can not only avoid soiling the user's skin when dredging the blocked hole, but also enable the liquid to seep out normally, improving the user experience.

[0131] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a schematic flowchart of another method for dredging the liquid-seeping electrode of the massager shown in the embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0132] 410. After obtaining the liquid-seeping instruction, pump out the conductive liquid stored in the liquid storage device to the electrode assembly.

[0133] 420. Detect the liquid-seeping state of the microporous electrodes in the electrode assembly.

[0134] 430. According to the liquid-seeping state, determine the target microporous electrode that meets the preset blockage condition.

[0135] In an optional implementation manner, when the electrode assembly includes one or more groups of microporous electrode pairs, the impedance value of each group of microporous electrode pairs in the electrode assembly can be detected, and the liquid-seeping state of the corresponding microporous electrode pair can be determined according to the impedance value of each group of microporous electrode pairs.

[0136] Optionally, the microporous electrode pair that meets the preset blockage condition can be determined according to the liquid-seeping state of each group of microporous electrode pairs, and the microporous electrodes included in the microporous electrode pair that meets the preset blockage condition can be determined as the target microporous electrodes.

[0137] Specifically, if a set of micro-hole electrode pairs meets the preset blockage condition, both of the two micro-hole electrodes included in the micro-hole electrode pair are regarded as the target micro-hole electrodes to be blocked. Even if only one micro-hole electrode in the micro-hole electrode pair is blocked, subsequent flushing operations will still be performed on both micro-hole electrodes.

[0138] Optionally, if all the micro-hole electrode pairs containing the first micro-hole electrode meet the preset blockage condition, the first micro-hole electrode is determined as the target micro-hole electrode.

[0139] For example, assume that there are micro-hole electrode 1, micro-hole electrode 2, and micro-hole electrode 3 on a massager. When micro-hole electrode 1 and 2 form a set of micro-hole electrode pairs, it is detected that this set of micro-hole electrode pairs meets the preset blockage condition; when micro-hole electrode 1 and 3 form a set of micro-hole electrode pairs, it is detected that this set of micro-hole electrode pairs also meets the preset blockage condition; when micro-hole electrode 2 and 3 form a set of micro-hole electrode pairs, it is detected that this set of micro-hole electrode pairs does not meet the preset blockage condition. At this time, it can be determined that micro-hole electrode 1 is blocked and is the target micro-hole electrode, while micro-hole electrode 2 and 3 are not blocked. Therefore, subsequently, only micro-hole electrode 1 can be flushed, and micro-hole electrode 2 and 3 do not need to be flushed. Through the above operations, the accuracy of detecting blocked electrodes can be improved.

[0140] Among them, the specific implementation of the impedance value of each set of micro-hole electrode pairs in the detection electrode assembly may include:

[0141] The impedance value of each set of micro-hole electrode pairs in the detection electrode assembly in the working mode.

[0142] In some massage modes, only some micro-hole electrode pairs may be used for massage output, and the rest of the micro-hole electrode pairs are not working. At this time, only all the micro-hole electrode pairs in the working mode can be detected for liquid leakage, so as to be able to perform liquid leakage detection targeted.

[0143] Optionally, the specific implementation of determining the liquid leakage state of the corresponding micro-hole electrode pair according to the impedance value of each set of micro-hole electrode pairs may include:

[0144] When the impedance value of a micro-hole electrode pair is greater than the preset impedance value, it is determined that the liquid leakage state of this micro-hole electrode pair meets the preset blockage condition;

[0145] When the impedance value of a micro-hole electrode pair is less than or equal to the preset impedance value, it is determined that the liquid leakage state of this micro-hole electrode pair does not meet the preset blockage condition.

[0146] Among them, if the micropores on the microporous electrode are not blocked and normal liquid seepage occurs through the micropores to the user's skin, the impedance value between the pairs of microporous electrodes can be reduced. If, after the liquid seepage operation, the impedance value between the pairs of microporous electrodes is greater than the preset impedance value, it can indicate that the impedance value is still very large after the liquid seepage operation. At this time, there is a microporous electrode blocked in the pair of microporous electrodes, and the micropores cannot seep liquid or the amount of liquid seepage is very small, that is, the preset blockage condition is satisfied, and both of the two microporous electrodes included in the pair of microporous electrodes are determined to be target microporous electrodes. If, after the liquid seepage operation, the impedance value between the pairs of microporous electrodes is less than or equal to the preset impedance value, it can be considered that both of the two microporous electrodes included in the pair of microporous electrodes can seep liquid normally and are not blocked, that is, the preset blockage condition is not satisfied.

[0147] Optionally, the specific implementation manner of determining the liquid seepage state of the corresponding pair of microporous electrodes according to the impedance value of each group of pairs of microporous electrodes may include:

[0148] Determine the first impedance value before liquid seepage and the second impedance value after liquid seepage for each group of pairs of microporous electrodes;

[0149] When the difference value between the first impedance value and the second impedance value of a pair of microporous electrodes is less than the preset difference value, determine that the liquid seepage state of the pair of microporous electrodes satisfies the preset blockage condition;

[0150] When the difference value between the first impedance value and the second impedance value of a pair of microporous electrodes is greater than or equal to the preset difference value, determine that the liquid seepage state of the pair of microporous electrodes does not satisfy the preset blockage condition.

[0151] Among them, if the micropores on the microporous electrode are not blocked, there will be a large change in the impedance value between the pairs of microporous electrodes before and after liquid seepage. For example, the second impedance value after liquid seepage is less than the first impedance value before liquid seepage. When the difference value between the two is less than the preset difference value, it can be considered that the change in the impedance value before and after liquid seepage is very small or basically no change. At this time, it can be determined that there is a microporous electrode blocked in the pair of microporous electrodes, that is, the preset blockage condition is satisfied. When the difference value between the two is greater than or equal to the preset difference value, it can be considered that the change in the impedance value before and after liquid seepage is relatively large. At this time, it can be determined that the pair of microporous electrodes can seep liquid normally, that is, the preset blockage condition is not satisfied.

[0152] Among them, the difference value between the second impedance value after liquid seepage and the first impedance value before liquid seepage can be the absolute difference between the two, or the multiple difference between the two, which is not limited here.

[0153] 440. Generate ultrasonic waves by using the ultrasonic wave generating device corresponding to the target microporous electrode to dredge the target microporous electrode.

[0154] In the embodiments of the present application, the orifice plugging and flushing device may include a plurality of ultrasonic generating devices, which may be respectively arranged at the liquid guiding pipes connecting the liquid storage device and each micro-hole electrode. For example, the ultrasonic generating device may be wound around the liquid guiding pipe and arranged close to the micro-hole electrode. Each micro-hole electrode corresponds to an ultrasonic generating device. When there is a target micro-hole electrode that is blocked, the ultrasonic generating device corresponding to the target micro-hole electrode may be controlled to generate ultrasonic waves, so that the liquid oscillates to unclog the micro-holes.

[0155] The method provided by the embodiments of the present application can use ultrasonic waves to oscillate the liquid in time to unclog the blocked orifice when it is detected that a micro-hole electrode is blocked and cannot successfully seep liquid, so that the liquid can seep out normally, thereby increasing the contact area between the user's skin and the electrode assembly and improving the user experience.

[0156] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 FIG. is a schematic flow chart of another method for unclogging the seepage electrode of the massager shown in the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 5 shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0157] 510. After obtaining the seepage instruction, control the liquid pumping device to pump the conductive liquid stored in the liquid storage device to the electrode assembly.

[0158] In the embodiments of the present application, a liquid pumping device may also be provided in the massager for pumping the conductive liquid in the liquid storage device to the electrode assembly. Among them, the liquid pumping device may be a liquid pump or a gas pump. One end of the liquid pumping device may be connected to the liquid storage device through a first liquid guiding pipe, and the other end of the liquid pumping device may be respectively connected to each micro-hole electrode in the electrode assembly through a plurality of second liquid guiding pipes. After obtaining the seepage instruction, the liquid pumping device starts to work, transports the conductive liquid in the liquid storage device to the electrode assembly, and forms micro-droplets through the micro-holes on the micro-hole electrodes.

[0159] Among them, the liquid storage device may be detachable, for example, it may be detachably connected to the massager body by a magnetic attraction method or a snap connection method.

[0160] 520. Detect the seepage state of the micro-hole electrodes in the electrode assembly.

[0161] 530. Determine the target micro-hole electrode that meets the preset blockage condition according to the seepage state.

[0162] Among them, in addition to determining the blocked target micro-hole electrode by the change in the impedance value between the micro-hole electrodes before and after seepage, the blocked target micro-hole electrode can also be determined by measuring the magnitude of the liquid pressure at the micro-hole electrode.

[0163] Specifically, the massager may further include a plurality of pressure sensors, which are respectively arranged in each second liquid guide tube. Preferably, the pressure sensors are arranged in the second liquid guide tube and close to the micro-hole electrodes. The above-mentioned plurality of pressure sensors can be used to respectively detect the pressure values in the second liquid guide tubes corresponding to the respective micro-hole electrodes in the electrode assembly; and determine the liquid leakage state of the corresponding micro-hole electrode according to the pressure values in the second liquid guide tubes corresponding to the respective micro-hole electrodes.

[0164] Among them, the specific implementation manner of determining the liquid leakage state of the corresponding micro-hole electrode according to the pressure values in the second liquid guide tubes corresponding to the respective micro-hole electrodes may include:

[0165] When the pressure value in the second liquid guide tube corresponding to a micro-hole electrode is greater than a preset pressure value, it is determined that the liquid leakage state of the micro-hole electrode meets the preset blockage condition;

[0166] When the pressure value in the second liquid guide tube corresponding to a micro-hole electrode is less than or equal to the preset pressure value, it is determined that the liquid leakage state of the micro-hole electrode does not meet the preset blockage condition.

[0167] Specifically, when the liquid pumping device works to pump liquid, if the micro-hole electrode is blocked and cannot leak liquid normally, the liquid pressure value in the second liquid guide tube close to the micro-hole electrode will increase. If the liquid pressure value in the tube is greater than the preset pressure value, that is, the preset blockage condition is met; otherwise, the preset blockage condition is not met. By arranging pressure sensors in each second liquid guide tube, the liquid leakage detection of each micro-hole electrode can be carried out, improving the detection accuracy.

[0168] 540. Generate ultrasonic waves by using the ultrasonic wave generating device corresponding to the target micro-hole electrode to unblock the target micro-hole electrode.

[0169] In the embodiment of the present application, the hole-blocking flushing device may include a plurality of ultrasonic wave generating devices, which are respectively arranged close to the second liquid guide tubes. Preferably, the ultrasonic wave generating devices can be wound around the second liquid guide tubes and arranged close to the micro-hole electrodes. Each micro-hole electrode corresponds to an ultrasonic wave generating device. When there is a blocked target micro-hole electrode, the ultrasonic wave generating device corresponding to the target micro-hole electrode can be controlled to generate ultrasonic waves, so that oscillations occur inside the liquid, thereby unblocking the micro-holes.

[0170] In an alternative implementation manner, a one-way valve may be arranged at each second liquid guide tube to prevent liquid backflow. When the liquid pumping device works, the one-way valve opens; when the liquid pumping device stops working, the one-way valve closes.

[0171] Before unblocking the target micro-hole electrode, the liquid pumping device can be controlled to stop working, and the one-way valve corresponding to the target micro-hole electrode can be controlled to close;

[0172] Among them, the specific implementation of generating ultrasonic waves by using the ultrasonic generating device corresponding to the target micro-hole electrode to dredge the target micro-hole electrode may include:

[0173] Generate ultrasonic waves by using the ultrasonic generating device corresponding to the target micro-hole electrode, so that the ultrasonic waves act on the conductive liquid in the second liquid guide tube between the one-way valve and the target micro-hole electrode to dredge the target micro-hole electrode.

[0174] Specifically, when a blocked target micro-hole electrode is detected, the liquid pumping device and the one-way valve corresponding to the target micro-hole electrode are closed, and the ultrasonic generating device corresponding to the target micro-hole electrode generates ultrasonic waves in the second liquid guide tube between the one-way valve and the target micro-hole electrode to oscillate the liquid in the tube and wash the micro-holes.

[0175] In an optional implementation manner, after dredging the target micro-hole electrode, the one-way valve corresponding to the target micro-hole electrode can be controlled to open, and the one-way valves corresponding to the remaining micro-hole electrodes can be controlled to close.

[0176] Furthermore, the liquid pumping device can be controlled to pump the conductive liquid to the target micro-hole electrode to wash the micro-holes on the target micro-hole electrode.

[0177] Since using ultrasonic waves to oscillate the liquid to dredge the blocked holes may cause the dirt shaken down to enter the liquid guide tube and contaminate the conductive liquid, after the ultrasonic waves are performed, the blocked target micro-hole electrode can be rinsed again to wash the dirt shaken down by the ultrasonic waves out of the liquid seepage pipeline to avoid re-blocking.

[0178] Specifically, after the ultrasonic waves end, the one-way valve corresponding to the target micro-hole electrode is opened, and other one-way valves are closed, which can avoid voltage division. The liquid pumping device is started again, so that the liquid pumping device pumps the liquid to the target micro-hole electrode, and the dirt is discharged through the dredged micro-holes.

[0179] Furthermore, after dredging the target micro-hole electrode, a second prompt message can be output to guide the user to clean the target micro-hole electrode.

[0180] Since dirt may stick to the outside of the micro-hole electrode during rinsing, after the ultrasonic waves or after the liquid is pumped out and rinsed again, the user can be prompted to clean the electrode assembly by means of voice, text, etc., so that the user can manually clean the remaining dirt according to the prompt.

[0181] The method provided by the embodiments of the present application can utilize ultrasonic waves to oscillate the liquid in time to dredge the blocked holes when it is detected that a microporous electrode is blocked and liquid infiltration fails, so that the liquid can ooze out normally, thereby increasing the contact area between the user's skin and the electrode assembly and enhancing the user experience. Moreover, after the ultrasonic waves, further flushing the blocked microporous electrode can achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0182] The above details the method for dredging the liquid-infiltrating electrode of the massager of the present application. Correspondingly, the present application also provides a device for dredging the liquid-infiltrating electrode of the massager and a massager.
