Detailed Implementation

[0034] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0035] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0036] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] The rotating component includes a head gear component and a tail gear component. The rotation axis of the head gear component and the axis of the tail gear component are on the same straight line. There are N rows of intermediate gears, with at least one intermediate gear in each row, where N ≥ 1. The head gear component 110 meshes with the first row of intermediate gear components, and the Nth row of intermediate gear components meshes with the tail gear component. The driving component is located within the space enclosed by the head gear component, the tail gear component, and the N rows of intermediate gear components. The driving component is driven by the head gear component, and the head gear component, the N rows of intermediate gear components, and the tail gear component can rotate synchronously.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 7 The rotating component of the first embodiment shown is spherical and includes a head gear component 110, a tail gear component 120, and N rows of intermediate gear components (a first row of intermediate gear components 130 and a second row of intermediate gear components 140). The head gear component 110, tail gear component 120, and N rows of intermediate gear components mesh to form the spherical outer contour of the rotating component and enclose a receiving space. The head gear component 110 and tail gear component 120 are arranged opposite to each other, and their rotation axes are located on the same straight line and pass through the center of the sphere. The head gear component 110 and tail gear component 120 are meshed through the N rows of intermediate gear components. A drive member 200 is disposed within the receiving space and is drivenly connected to the head gear component 110, thereby driving the head gear component 110 to rotate. The head gear component 110 drives the N rows of intermediate gear components to rotate, and the N rows of intermediate gear components transmit power to the tail gear component 120.

[0039] like Figures 8 to 9 The rotating component of the second embodiment shown includes a head gear component 110, a tail gear component 120, and N rows of intermediate gear components (first row of intermediate gear components 130, second row of intermediate gear components 140, and third row of intermediate gear components 150). The drive component 200 drives the head gear component 110 to rotate, the head gear component 110 drives the first row of intermediate gear components 130 to rotate, the first row of intermediate gear components 130 transmits power to the second row of intermediate gear components 140, the second row of intermediate gear components 140 transmits power to the third row of intermediate gear components 150, and the third row of gear components 150 transmits power to the tail gear component 120.

[0040] Although Figure 1 Two rows of intermediate gear components are shown. Figure 8 The diagram shows three rows of intermediate gear components. It's understood that the number of rows (N) can also be other numbers. For example, a rotating sphere might have only one row of intermediate gear components, where power is transmitted from the head gear component to the intermediate gear component, which then transmits the power to the tail gear component. Alternatively, the rotating sphere could have four rows of intermediate gear components, or other rows of intermediate gear components.

[0041] To allow the rotating component to stimulate acupoints and muscles, achieving a massage and stress-relieving effect, massage features, such as massage protrusions, can be provided on the surfaces of the first, middle, and last gear components. When the user holds the rotating component, each gear component rotates, and the massage protrusions massage the user's hand. The rotation of the gear components also attracts some of the user's attention, dispersing pressure and thus achieving a massage and stress-relieving effect. When the user uses the rotating component on other parts of the body, the massage protrusions can massage those areas. The rotating component is driven by a single drive unit to power multiple gear discs, ensuring a roughly consistent massage and stress-relieving effect regardless of the user's gripping angle.

[0042] In some embodiments, N≥2, the intermediate gear component in the i-th column meshes with the intermediate gear component in the (i+1)-th column, where i∈[1, N-1].

[0043] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 7 In the first embodiment shown, N=2, and the intermediate gear component 130 of the first column and the intermediate gear component 140 of the second column mesh. The drive member 200 drives the first gear component 110 to rotate, and the first gear component 110 meshes with the intermediate gear component 130 of the first column, causing the intermediate gear component 130 of the first column to rotate. The intermediate gear component 130 of the first column drives the intermediate gear component 140 of the second column to rotate, and the intermediate gear component 140 of the second column drives the tail gear component 120 to rotate.

[0044] like Figures 8 to 9 In the second embodiment shown, N=3, and the N-column intermediate gear components include a first-column intermediate gear component 130, a second-column intermediate gear component 140, and a third-column intermediate gear component 150. The first-column intermediate gear component 130 meshes with the second-column intermediate gear component 140, and the second-column intermediate gear component 140 meshes with the third-column intermediate gear component 150. Power is transmitted to the tail gear component 120 through the head gear component 110, the first-column intermediate gear component 130, the second-column intermediate gear component 140, and the third-column intermediate gear component 150.

[0045] It is understandable that when N is any other value, the intermediate gear component in column 1 meshes with the head gear component and also with the intermediate gear in column 2. The intermediate gear component in column N meshes with the intermediate gear component in column N-1 and also with the tail gear component. Examples of all possible values ​​for N will not be provided here.

[0046] In some embodiments, the intermediate gear component in the i-th column has m components, and the rotation center points of the m intermediate gear components form a reference circle. The m rotation centers are evenly distributed on the reference circle, where m ≥ 2 and i ∈ [1, N].

[0047] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 7 In the first embodiment shown, m = 5, and there are 5 intermediate gear components 130 in the first column. The 5 intermediate gear components 130 in the first column have rotation center points that can form a reference circle. These 5 rotation center points are evenly distributed on this reference circle. Similarly, there are also 5 intermediate gear components 140 in the second column, and these 5 intermediate gear components are also evenly distributed along the reference circle.

[0048] like Figures 8 to 9 In the second embodiment shown, m=4, that is, there are 4 intermediate gear components 130 in the first column, 130 in the second column, and 140 in the third column. The intermediate gear components in each column are evenly distributed on the corresponding reference circle.

[0049] Understandably, the number of intermediate gear components m in each column can also be set to other values.

[0050] In some embodiments, the intermediate gear component of each i-th column meshes with the intermediate gear components of the two adjacent i+1-th columns.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1 In the first embodiment shown, one intermediate gear component 130 of the first column simultaneously meshes with two adjacent intermediate gears of the second column; one intermediate gear component 140 of the second column meshes with two adjacent intermediate gears of the first column.

[0052] like Figure 8 In the second embodiment shown, one intermediate gear component 130 of the first column meshes with two adjacent intermediate gear components 140 of the second column, and one intermediate gear component 140 of the second column meshes with two adjacent intermediate gear components 150 of the third column; one intermediate gear component 140 of the second column meshes with two adjacent intermediate gear components 130 of the first column, and one intermediate gear component 150 of the third column meshes with two adjacent intermediate gear components 140 of the second column.

[0053] By arranging the intermediate gears in an alternating, meshing manner, the volume of the rotating components can be effectively reduced, allowing for miniaturization of the rotating component structure. This facilitates the design of complete sets of products with varying sizes to meet user needs in different scenarios. It can also accommodate different hand sizes, making it suitable for a wider range of users.

[0054] In some embodiments, N=3, m=4, the first gear component simultaneously meshes with the intermediate gear component of the first column, and the gear ring of the first gear component is equal to the gear ring of the intermediate gear component of the first column.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the second embodiment shown, there are three rows of intermediate gear components, with four intermediate gear components in each row. The first gear component 110 and the last gear component 120 are symmetrically arranged. The first gear component 110 simultaneously meshes with four intermediate gear components in the first row, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the first gear component 110. Each intermediate gear component in the first row also simultaneously meshes with two adjacent intermediate gear components in the second row, and each intermediate gear component in the second row simultaneously meshes with two adjacent intermediate gear components in the third row. The last gear component 120 simultaneously meshes with four gear components in the third row. With this arrangement, the outline of the rotating component is formed by 14 gear components. The tooth ring of the first gear component is equal to the tooth ring of the first row of intermediate gear components, ensuring that all 14 gear components have the same tooth ring size. This means that the massage effect is the same regardless of the user's angle of use of the rotating component.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first gear component simultaneously meshes with the first row of intermediate gear components, and the gear ring of the first gear component is larger than the gear ring of the first row of intermediate gear components.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 7In the first embodiment shown, the first gear component 110 simultaneously meshes with five intermediate gear components 130 in the first row. The five intermediate gear components 130 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the first gear component 110, meaning that the rotation of the first gear component 110 simultaneously drives the five gears in the first row. To ensure that the meshing of each gear component forms a spherical shape, the first gear component 110 and the tail gear component 120 are configured with the same gear ring size, while the gear rings of the intermediate gear components are configured to be smaller than those of the first gear component 110. This allows the meshing of each gear to form a spherical rotating body. Since the gear ring of the first gear component 110 is larger than that of the intermediate gear components, to ensure reliable power transmission, the number of teeth in the first gear component 110 is greater than the number of teeth in the intermediate gear components 130, and the number of teeth Z1 in the first gear component 110 is a multiple of Z1. The number of teeth in the first gear component is Z, and the number of teeth in the first row of intermediate gear components is Z1, where Z = n * Z1, and n ≥ 2. This configuration ensures stability during continuous power transmission. Understandably, the gear components in the middle column can also be set to 6, 7, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0058] In some embodiments, a spherical bracket 360 is further included, on which a positioning post 361 is provided, and N rows of intermediate gear components are located on the outside of the spherical bracket 360 and rotatably connected to the corresponding positioning post.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, for ease of installation, the spherical bracket 360 consists of an upper spherical shell and a lower spherical shell. The through holes in the upper and lower spherical shells interlock to form a receiving space, within which the driving component 200 is housed. The upper and lower spherical shells can be fastened together by snap-fit, threaded connection, or other methods, ensuring that the upper and lower spherical shells do not easily detach. The inner surface of the gear disc 310 of each gear component is adapted to the shape of the outer surface of the spherical bracket. The spherical bracket 360 is equipped with positioning posts 361, and the N-row intermediate gear components and the tail gear component 120 are rotatably connected to their corresponding positioning posts. The positioning posts enable rapid installation of each gear component, improving installation efficiency.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first gear component, the intermediate gear component, and the tail gear component each include a gear turntable, an outer cover, and at least one push button. The outer cover is provided with a first through hole, the number of which is the same as the number of push buttons. One end of the push button is clamped between the gear turntable and the outer cover, and the other end of the push button protrudes from the turntable. The push button can move in the axial direction of the first through hole.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first gear component 110, each intermediate gear component, and the tail gear component 120 have the same structure, each including a gear turntable 310, an outer cover 320, and four pushers 330. The outer cover 320 has four first through holes 321. It is understood that the number of pushers can also be different. The first end of each pusher 330 is sandwiched between the gear turntable 310 and the outer cover 320. The diameter of the first end of the pusher 330 is larger than the diameter of the first through hole 321, thus preventing the pusher 330 from disengaging from the first through hole 321. The gear turntable 310 and the outer cover 320 have a receiving space to receive the first end of the pusher 330. Along the axial direction of the first through hole, the height of the receiving space is greater than the height of the first end. When the user holds and squeezes the rotating part, the squeezed pusher 330 can move along the axial direction of the first through hole. With the pusher, while the gear component is rotating, the pusher can act as a massage protrusion to massage the corresponding part. The pusher can be pressed and can cooperate with the user's squeezing and movement to achieve the effect of stress reduction.

[0062] In some embodiments, an elastic element 340 is also included. One end of the elastic element 340 abuts against the gear turntable 310, and the other end of the elastic element 340 abuts against the pusher 330. The elastic element 340 provides a restoring force for the pusher 330 to reset. The elastic element can be a spring. Under the action of the squeezing force, the spring is compressed, and the first end of the pusher 330 abuts against the gear turntable 310. When the user releases the squeezing force, the pusher 330 resets under the action of the spring's restoring force, that is, the first end of the pusher 330 abuts against the outer cover 320 under the action of the spring's restoring force. By providing the elastic element 340, the pusher 330 can move when the user squeezes and releases the rotating part. This operation can effectively cooperate with the user's complete pressure relief action, releasing the user's pressure. The elastic element can also be a dome switch. The dome switch can also achieve the reset function. During the squeezing or reset process, the dome switch produces a clicking sound, providing a musical rhythm during the user's pressure relief process, further enhancing the pressure relief effect. It is understandable that other elastic components can be used for elastic element 340, which will not be elaborated here.

[0063] In some embodiments, a decorative cover 350 is also included, the decorative cover 350 having a shielding portion 351 and a second through hole 352, the shielding portion being used to shield the gap between the teeth of the gear turntable 310 and the gear turntable, and the actuating member 330 being located on the outer surface of the rotating member through the second through hole 352.

[0064] Each gear component has a gear disk 310 and an outer cover 320. The diameter of the outer cover 320 is smaller than the diameter of the gear disk 310. That is, when the outer cover 320 is fastened onto the gear disk 310, the meshing teeth of the gear disk 310 are not covered by the outer cover 320. Thus, along the rotation axis of the gear component, the outer cover 320 protrudes from the outer surface of the meshing teeth. The decorative cover 350 has a spherical outline and has a shielding portion 351 and a second through hole 352. The size of the second through hole 352 is adapted to the size of the outer cover 320, that is, the outer surface of the outer cover 320 can be exposed through the second through hole 352. The shielding portion 351 of the decorative cover 350 can shield the meshing teeth and the gap between the gear disk, so that only the outer cover 320 is exposed on the outer surface of the rotating component. The shielding part 351 is approximately located on the same spherical surface as the outer cover 320, and has a certain gap with the side of the outer cover 320. This prevents interference between the gear components and the decorative cover 350 during rotation. The design of the decorative cover 350 prevents the meshing teeth from being exposed to the outside of the rotating component, providing protection. Simultaneously, the fact that the decorative cover 350 and the outer cover 320 are approximately on the same spherical surface maintains the consistency and aesthetics of the rotating component's appearance. The decorative cover 350 includes an upper decorative cover and a lower decorative cover, which are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, or the upper and lower decorative covers are respectively fixedly connected to a spherical bracket, thus making the rotating component a single spherical structure.

[0065] The above description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this application and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of this application to these descriptions. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make several simple deductions or substitutions without departing from the concept of this application.
