Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of massage device technology, specifically to an optical path structure, a heat conduction structure based on the optical path structure, and a massage device. Background Technology

[0002] A facial massager is a device that uses physical therapy to soothe the face, improve cleansing, and enhance the absorption of skincare products. Its simple and practical functions meet users' facial care needs.

[0003] Traditional facial massagers lack skin imaging capabilities, making it difficult to adjust massage parameters in real-time to suit different skin conditions or to monitor skin status during massage. Traditional facial massagers use red light-assisted radio frequency devices in the massage head to illuminate the skin, but lack a camera to capture images and achieve real-time skin recognition. This makes it difficult to achieve simultaneous massage and image recognition. Even if a camera is used to take pictures, the varying shades of skin and limited lighting make it challenging. Furthermore, if the photos are used for further analysis and identification of the skin surface using other devices, the required clarity is difficult to achieve. Therefore, a massage head that combines a clear optical path for imaging during massage with heat conduction and other functions is extremely difficult to integrate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above problems, this invention proposes the following structure and functional usage:

[0005] An optical path structure is disclosed, which is located inside the massage head of the main body of a massager. The shell surface has a light outlet. The optical path structure includes a lens, a lighting lamp, a camera, a light-diffusing element, a lamp board, and a needle hole. The needle hole is located on the outer shell surface of the massage head, forming a light outlet. The lighting lamp is located inside the massage head, next to the lens. The camera is located inside the massage head, next to the lighting lamp. The light-diffusing element faces the lamp board. The upper part of the light-diffusing element has uniformly sized, smooth needles. The top of each needle penetrates a needle hole and is flush with or extends 1 mm beyond the surface of the massage head. The lamp board has several heating LEDs. These LEDs emit light and generate heat. The needles of the light-diffusing element conduct heat and reflect light, which is then discharged and the light is diffused through the needle hole. The light from the lighting lamp is refracted by the lens. The light from the light-diffusing element, combined with the light refracted by the lens, is used by the camera for shooting.

[0006] The heating LED beads are arranged in alternating red and yellow light. The emitted light is reflected and mixed by the needle column to form uniform light intensity. The uniform light intensity, combined with the lens, refracts the light to provide illumination for the camera. The uniform light intensity greatly improves the clarity of the camera, while also meeting the needs of both heat and light massage. It is a multi-functional and simple structure.

[0007] The brightness ratio of the mixed uniform light generated by the heating lamp beads to the incandescent light emitted by the lighting lamp is 4:6.

[0008] The massager's main body includes a motherboard and a battery. The motherboard is an integrated circuit board with wireless signal receiving and transmitting functions, and electrically controls the battery, light board, needle posts, camera, and lighting. The massage head also contains a radio frequency (RF) device, which is electrically connected to the motherboard. The motherboard connects to and controls each component.

[0009] The light-diffusing component and the lamp board are fixedly connected by a bracket with screws. A first magnet is provided on the outer side of the bracket near the light-diffusing component. There are four first magnets. The bracket is fixedly connected to the inside of the massage head with screws. The middle part of the bracket has a hollow structure.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the number of needle posts and needle holes are both set to a certain number.

[0011] A massager heat conduction structure based on the above-mentioned optical path structure is characterized in that the massager heat conduction structure is formed by the optical path structure.

[0012] A massager based on the above-mentioned optical path structure is characterized in that it is formed by a massage head with both optical path and heat conduction structure. The main body of the massager also includes a front shell, a decorative part, and a rear shell. The decorative part is disposed between the front shell and the rear shell. The massage head is fixedly connected to the upper ends of the front inner shell and the rear inner shell. The front inner shell is snapped into the inner side of the front shell, and the rear inner shell is snapped into the inner side of the rear shell. The front inner shell is fixedly connected to the rear inner shell with screws.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a massage head is fixedly connected to the upper ends of the front inner shell and the rear inner shell, a main board is provided between the front inner shell and the rear inner shell, a battery is provided between the front inner shell and the rear inner shell near the main board, and a first counterweight is provided between the front inner shell and the rear inner shell near the other side of the main board.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the massager body is provided with a base at its bottom, a second counterweight is provided inside the base, and a cover plate is provided at the bottom of the base.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the outer wall of the massage head is fitted with a head cover shell, and an inner head cover shell is provided inside the head cover shell. A magnet groove is provided on one side of the head cover shell, and a second magnet is provided inside the magnet groove. The second magnet is magnetically connected to the first magnet.

[0016] A method of using the massager as described above, characterized in that it includes the following:

[0017] 1) The massage head is equipped with a light path and heat conduction structure. When the massage head is attached to the skin area, the camera, in conjunction with the lighting and uniform lighting, can capture a clear image of the skin at the massage site. The image captured by the camera is then transmitted to other devices, enabling the skin condition to be identified at any time based on the clear image, and the device parameters to be adjusted in real time for use.

[0018] 2) The optical path structure enables the application of light and radio frequency to the skin;

[0019] 3) Heat conduction to the skin is achieved through an optical path structure;

[0020] 4) The needle column extends 1mm through the optical path structure to achieve massage;

[0021] 5) The needle post extends 1mm through the optical path structure to achieve micro-voltage conductivity.

[0022] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] The optical path structure features alternating red and yellow LEDs for heating and emitting light. The emitted light is reflected and mixed by the pins to form a uniform light source. This uniform light, combined with lens refraction, produces incandescent light for the camera to capture. This uniform light, combined with the refracted light, significantly improves the clarity required for the camera to capture images of the skin. Simultaneously, the mixed red and yellow light and heat are conducted through the pins and pinholes, achieving a heat conduction structure and providing both heat and light massage. This fulfills the need for both heat and light massage. In addition, the pins extend 1mm to conduct low-voltage electricity, fulfilling another massage requirement. The massage head, with its optical path and heat conduction structure, is attached to the skin area. The camera, along with the illumination and uniform light, captures a clear image of the skin at the massage site. This image is then transmitted to other devices, allowing for real-time identification of the skin condition based on the clear image. Different massage treatments can be applied to the skin condition in real time, adjusting the device to the optimal parameters for use. This device can simultaneously perform light irradiation, imaging, radio frequency, heat conduction, and massage functions on the skin through its optical path structure. It can also extend the needle column of the optical path structure by 1mm to achieve another voltage-free massage, and can also achieve micro-pressure conductivity through the extension of the needle column of the optical path structure by 1mm. It is a multi-functional device with a simple structure.

[0024] The heat conduction structure and massager based on the optical path structure are simple, practical, and flexible in use, realizing a multi-functional heat conduction structure and massager with light illumination, radio frequency, heat conduction, imaging, and low-voltage conductivity.
