[0026] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Embodiment 1: As shown in the figure, a massage device includes a flexible outer shell 1 and a massage main body arranged in the flexible outer shell 1, the massage main body includes two flexible clamping arms 3 and a flexible massage operating arm 4, the flexible outer shell 1 includes a main body 101, and a clamping portion 102 is respectively provided on both sides of the main body 101. The flexible massage operating arm 4 is installed in the main body 101, and a massage head 2 is installed at one end of the flexible massage operating arm 4. The massage head 2 is arranged on the outside of the flexible outer shell 1, and a flexible clamping arm 3 is correspondingly provided in each clamping portion 102. The movements of the flexible clamping arm 3, the flexible massage operating arm 4 and the massage head 2 are controlled by a control mechanism, which is arranged in the main body 101; when in use, the control mechanism drives the two flexible clamping arms 3 to clamp the two clamping portions 102 on the user, and the control mechanism drives the flexible massage operating arm 4 to move, so that the massage head 2 massages the corresponding parts of the user.

[0028] Specifically, the control mechanism includes a control host 5, a first drive mechanism for driving the flexible clamping arm 3 to move, and a second drive mechanism for driving the flexible massage operating arm 4 to move. There are two first drive mechanisms, one first drive mechanism drives one flexible clamping arm 3, and the first drive mechanism, the second drive mechanism and the massage head 2 are driven and controlled by the control host 5.

[0029] Specifically, the flexible clamping arm 3 has a fixed mounting end 311 and a movable end 312. The fixed mounting end 311 is provided with a clamping arm mounting seat 31, which is fixedly mounted within the main body 101. A first drive cable 6 is mounted on the outer surface of the flexible clamping arm 3, corresponding to the clamping direction, from the fixed mounting end 311 to the movable end 312. The first drive mechanism includes a first drive motor 7 and a first winding drum 71, which is rotatably mounted within the clamping arm mounting seat 31. The first end of the first drive cable 6 is wound around the first winding drum 71, and the second end of the first drive cable 6 is fixed to the movable end 312. The first drive motor 7 is used to drive the first winding drum 71 to rotate. The drive motor drives the winding drum to rotate, changing the length of the cable, thereby causing the flexible clamping arm 3 to bend and achieve clamping. When the driving force applied to the winding drum by the drive motor disappears (i.e., when the drive motor is deactivated), the flexible clamping arm 3 automatically resets.

[0030] Specifically, the clamping arm mounting base 31 is detachably connected to the fixed mounting end 311 of the flexible clamping arm 3. When the flexible clamping arm 3 is damaged and needs to be replaced, only the flexible clamping arm 3 can be replaced, saving maintenance costs.

[0031] Specifically, the flexible clamping arm 3 includes a plurality of clamping support segments 301 spaced apart from each other, and adjacent clamping support segments 301 are connected by a hollow squeeze release segment 302. The squeeze release segment 302 provides squeeze release space for the flexible clamping arm 3 to bend, enabling the flexible clamping arm 3 to bend and clamp relatively smoothly.

[0032] Specifically, each clamping support segment 301 is provided with a first rigid connecting ring 80 at each end. Each first rigid connecting ring 80 is provided with a first rope threading hole 801 extending therethrough. Multiple first rope threading holes 801 are coaxial. The second end of the first drive rope 6 sequentially passes through the multiple first rope threading holes 801, forming a fixed anti-slip knot 61 at the end. The provision of the rigid connecting ring effectively prevents damage to the flexible clamping arm 3 caused by the drive rope being cut, effectively ensuring the service life of the flexible clamping arm 3.

[0033] Specifically, the length of the extrusion release segment 302 from the fixed mounting end 311 to the movable end 312 is controlled to be 10-20 mm. The release of this length can ensure that the flexible arm is fully bent and can conveniently adapt the motor control to be within a suitable torque loss range.

[0034] Specifically, the length of the flexible clamping arm 3 from the fixed mounting end 311 to the movable end 312 is controlled to be 25-29 cm. This length is based on the median body size of adults (especially adult women) in China. The width of the end arm after folding is kept below the human waist circumference as much as possible to accommodate a wider range of hugging and clamping.

[0035] Specifically, the flexible clamping arm 3 is a one-piece hollow, soft-rubber arm with a spring 32 positioned within it, extending from the fixed mounting end 311 to the movable end 312. The hollow, soft-rubber arm facilitates the concealed insertion of electrical cables. The spring 32, installed within the arm, provides a certain degree of strength support and allows the arm to quickly return to its original position when the drive motor is not applying driving force.

[0036] Specifically, the flexible massage arm 4 has a fixed end 411 and a movable massage head mounting end 412. The fixed end 411 is provided with a massage arm mounting seat 41, which is fixedly mounted within the main body 101. A second drive cable 8 is mounted on the outer surface of the flexible massage arm 4 from the fixed end 411 to the massage head mounting end 412. The second drive mechanism includes a second drive motor (not shown) and a second winding drum 91, which is rotatably mounted within the massage arm mounting seat 41. The first end of the second drive cable 8 is wound around the second winding drum 91, and the second end of the second drive cable 8 is fixed to the massage head mounting end 412. The second drive motor is used to drive the second winding drum 91 to rotate. The drive motor drives the winding drum to rotate, thereby changing the length of the cable, thereby driving the flexible massage arm 4 to bend, allowing the massage head 2 mounted thereon to reach the corresponding massage position. When the driving force applied to the winding drum by the drive motor disappears (i.e., when the drive motor is inoperative), the flexible massage arm 4 automatically resets.

[0037] Specifically, the massage arm mounting base 41 is detachably connected to the fixed end 411 of the flexible massage operating arm 4. When the flexible massage operating arm 4 is damaged and needs to be replaced, only the flexible massage operating arm 4 can be replaced, saving maintenance costs.

[0038] Specifically, the flexible massage operating arm 4 includes a plurality of support segments 401 spaced apart, and adjacent support segments 401 are connected by a hollow squeeze-release segment 402. The squeeze-release segment 402 provides squeeze-release space for the flexible massage operating arm 4 to bend, enabling the flexible massage operating arm 4 to bend and clamp relatively smoothly.

[0039] Specifically, each support segment 401 is provided with a second rigid connecting ring 10 at each end. Each of the second rigid connecting rings 10 is provided with a second rope threading hole 100 extending therethrough. Multiple second rope threading holes 100 are coaxially arranged. The second end of the second drive rope 8 is sequentially threaded through the multiple second rope threading holes 100, forming a fixed anti-slip knot (not shown). The provision of the rigid connecting rings effectively prevents damage to the flexible massage operating arm 4 caused by the drive rope being cut, thereby effectively ensuring the service life of the flexible massage operating arm 4.

[0040] Specifically, the flexible massage operating arm 4 is a one-piece hollow soft rubber arm. A spring 42 is provided inside the arm from the fixed end 411 to the massage head mounting end 412. The hollow soft rubber arm facilitates the concealed connection of various electrical connections. The spring 42 is also installed inside the arm, providing a certain degree of strength support and driving the arm to quickly return to its original position when the drive motor is not applying driving force.

[0041] Specifically, the massage head 2 is provided with a standardized electrical connection connector 21, and the massage head mounting end 412 is provided with an electrical connection interface 413 that matches the electrical connection connector 21. The electrical connection connector 21 and the electrical connection interface 413 are detachably connected, and the electrical connection interface 413 is electrically connected to the control host 5. Different massage heads 2 can be used to provide functions such as vibration massage, fascia tapping, finger rolling, and hot compress. At the same time, when combined with the flexible massage operating arm 4, it can simulate actions such as patting, stroking, and pressing, making the overall function more abundant.

[0042] Specifically, a positioning cavity 11 is recessed in the flexible outer shell 1 corresponding to the installation position of the flexible clamping arm 3 and the flexible massage operating arm 4, and the flexible clamping arm 3 and the flexible massage operating arm 4 are respectively installed in the corresponding positioning cavity 11. The positioning installation of the three arms is realized to ensure that they can all function stably.

[0043] Specifically, the two flexible clamping arms 3 and the flexible massage operating arm 4 are arranged in a T-shape, which can simultaneously adapt to the massage needs of the human back and legs.

[0044] Specifically, the flexible clamping arm 3 and the flexible massage operating arm 4 are both made of silicone. Silicone, an elastic material with good stretchability and good skin-friendly properties, is very suitable for the massage mechanism of massage products. Similar elastic and environmentally friendly elastic materials include but are not limited to TPU, natural rubber, latex, polyvinyl chloride, TPE, nitrile rubber, etc.

[0045] Specifically, the outer surface of the flexible outer shell 1 is made of bionic leather, which allows the user to have a comfortable touch when using it.

[0046] Among them, the control host 5 can be equipped with multiple control modes, including button, touch, voice and mobile phone app control. It is particularly important to emphasize that voice control can free your hands, increase human-computer interactivity, and can also support remote control, cloud operation mode customization, etc. to achieve personalized customization.

[0047] Specifically, the control host 5 has an intelligent mode. By setting pressure sensors, capacitive touch, sound or heart rate sensing units at corresponding positions of the flexible outer shell 1, the pressure sensor is used to feedback the force of holding or squeezing, and the user's vital signs are monitored through capacitive touch, sound or heart rate sensing units. Different modes are adjusted according to the user's physical condition to achieve personalized customization.

[0048] In addition, the control host 5 can also be equipped with relevant modules to realize entertainment functions such as song playback and AI voice chat.

[0049] Example 2: All other aspects are identical to Example 1, except that two second drive cables 8 are installed on the outer surface of the flexible massage operating arm 4, extending from the fixed end 411 to the massage head mounting end 412. The two second drive cables 8 are oppositely disposed and wound around a second winding drum 91. The second drive motor 9 is a forward and reverse drive motor. This allows the flexible massage operating arm 4 to bend and expand in both directions, and allows for more functions when installed with different massage heads 2.

[0050] Example 3: All other aspects are identical to Example 1, except that three second drive cables 8 are installed on the outer surface of the flexible massage operating arm 4, extending from the fixed end 411 to the massage head mounting end 412. These cables are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the flexible massage operating arm 4 and driven by three independent second drive mechanisms. This allows the flexible massage operating arm 4 to bend and expand in any direction, and allows for more functions when installed with different massage heads 2.
