[0063] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in

[0064] The mounting seat 12 is provided with a plurality of fluid interfaces 13, one end of the fluid interface 13 is connected with the massage driving unit through a pipeline, the other end of the fluid interface 13 is connected with the driving part, and the massage head 11 is slidingly arranged on the mounting seat 12. The driving part is arranged on the mounting seat 12. The fluid interface 13, the driving part and the massage head 11 are concentrated on one mounting seat 12, which is convenient for installing the massage module 1 and realizes the integration of the structure of the massage module 1.

[0065] In an embodiment, a force applying member 15 is arranged between the massage head 11 and the mounting base 12, and is configured to apply a force to the massage head 11 in the retracting direction. When the massage head 11 is pushed out of the surface of the seat ring 100, the force applying member 15 is stretched, and stores elastic force. When the fluid storage bag 14 is deflated, the force applying member 15 releases the elastic force and drives the massage head 11 to retract. Optionally, the force applying member 15 is a spring, and the massage head 11 is arranged outside the spring. The massage head 11 plays a guiding role in the stretching and compression of the force applying member 15. The mounting base 12 is provided with a connecting sleeve 17. The massage head 11 is supported on the mounting base 12 in a sliding manner relative to the connecting sleeve 17, and can protrude out of or retract into the connecting sleeve 17. The connecting sleeve 17 is arranged to achieve sliding installation of the massage head 11.

[0066] Further optionally, the mounting base 12 is provided with a connecting seat 16 around the fluid interface 13. Each connecting seat 16 is provided with a connecting sleeve 17. Each connecting sleeve 17 is provided with the massage head 11 and the force applying member 15. The force applying member 15 connects the connecting seat 16 and the massage head 11. The connecting seat 16 and the connecting sleeve 17 are arranged to achieve sliding installation of the massage head 11. One end of the force applying member 15 is connected to the massage head 11, and the other end of the force applying member 15 is connected to the connecting sleeve 17. Optionally, each connecting sleeve 17 is provided with a driving part. The connecting sleeve 17 can play a role in protecting the driving part.

[0067] Optionally, the connecting seat 16 has a ring structure. The outer side wall of the connecting seat 16 is provided with external threads. The inner side wall of the connecting sleeve 17 is provided with internal threads. The connecting sleeve 17 is screwed with the connecting seat 16. This facilitates assembly of the connecting sleeve 17, and facilitates replacement of new parts when the force applying member 15 fails.

[0068] There is a gap between the connecting seat 16 and the fluid interface 13. The connecting sleeve 17 is provided with a fixing sleeve 18. The fixing sleeve 18 is arranged outside the fluid interface 13, i.e., one end of the fixing sleeve 18 is arranged between the connecting seat 16 and the fluid interface 13. The massage head 11 is arranged to slide between the fixing sleeve 18 and the connecting sleeve 17, and provides a guiding role for sliding of the massage head 11. Optionally, the massage head 11 has a U-shaped structure. The massage head 11 is arranged to be invertedly sleeved on the fixing sleeve 18. The fixing sleeve 18 provides a guiding role for sliding of the massage head 11, so as to ensure that the massage head 11 can protrude out of or retract into the surface of the seat ring 100. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, each fixing sleeve 18 is provided with a driving part. When the driving part is filled with fluid, one end of the driving part can protrude out of the fixing sleeve 18 and push the massage head 11. When the fluid in the driving part flows out, one end of the driving part is retracted into the fixing sleeve 18.

[0069] In some embodiments, the driving part comprises one or more fluid storage capsules 14, each of which is connected with a massage driving unit and a massage head 11, the massage driving unit being configured to fill the fluid storage capsule 14 with fluid or discharge the fluid in the fluid storage capsule 14, so that the fluid storage capsule 14 is deformed to drive the massage head 11 to protrude or retract relative to the seat 100.

[0070] Optionally, a plurality of fluid storage capsules 14 are provided, and each of the fluid storage capsules 14 is provided in one-to-one correspondence with a massage head 11. The fluid storage capsule 14 is connected with the other end of the fluid interface 13, and is configured to make the massage head 11 penetrate the surface of the seat 100 when the fluid storage capsule 14 is filled with fluid, or make the massage head 11 retract into the seat 100 when the fluid in the fluid storage capsule 14 flows out. The fluid enters or flows out of the fluid storage capsule 14 through the fluid interface 13. When the fluid storage capsule 14 is filled with fluid, the fluid storage capsule 14 bulges and pushes the massage head 11 to slide to penetrate the surface of the seat 100 and contact the human body. When the fluid in the fluid storage capsule 14 flows out, the fluid storage capsule 14 deflates and does not exert force on the massage head 11, and the massage head 11 retracts into the seat 100 and does not contact the human body. The regular extension and retraction of the massage head 11 form a massage effect. In other embodiments, one fluid storage capsule 14 is provided, and the fluid storage capsule 14 is provided in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of massage heads 11. Alternatively, a plurality of fluid storage capsules 14 are provided, and each of the fluid storage capsules 14 is provided in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of massage heads 11.

[0071] The fluid storage capsule 14 can be directly connected with the massage head 11, instead of the above-mentioned force applying part 15. When the fluid in the fluid storage capsule 14 flows out, the fluid storage capsule 14 deflates while pulling the massage head 11 to retract, thereby simplifying the structure.

[0072] The fluid storage capsule 14 described above is made of rubber and has a certain flexibility and a long service life. The massage head 11 can be made of rubber or silicone, and has a lighter weight than metal. The mounting seat 12, the connecting seat 16, the connecting sleeve 17, the fixing sleeve 18, and the force applying part 15 can all be made of plastic, so as to reduce the weight of the seat 100 when the massage module 1 is installed on the seat 100, thereby facilitating the overturning of the seat 100.

[0073] In some other possible implementation manners, the driving part comprises a driving sleeve and a driving piston, the driving piston separates the driving sleeve into a first driving cavity and a second driving cavity, one end of the driving piston is arranged in the first driving cavity and extends out of the driving sleeve to be connected with the massage head 11, an elastic member is arranged in the first driving cavity, and the elastic member is connected with the driving piston and a cavity wall of the first driving cavity. The second driving cavity is connected with the massage driving unit, the massage driving unit provides fluid to the second driving cavity, so that the volume of the second driving cavity is increased, and the driving piston is driven to move, the driving piston is driven to move to make the massage head 11 extend, and the elastic member is compressed. The massage driving unit makes the fluid in the second driving cavity flow out, the elastic member resets the driving piston, and the driving piston drives the massage head 11 to retract.

[0074] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown in the figures, the massage driving unit comprises a fluid filling assembly 2 and a control assembly 3. The fluid filling assembly 2 is arranged on the base 200 of the closestool, and is used to pre-store fluid. The control assembly 3 is arranged on the base 200 of the closestool, and is used to control the fluid provided by the fluid filling assembly 2 to the driving part, or is used to control the fluid discharged from the driving part. The fluid filling assembly 2 and the control assembly 3 are arranged on the base 200 of the closestool, and the increased weight of the seat ring 100 does not affect the overturning of the seat ring 100, and can be particularly suitable for smart closestools.

[0075] In some embodiments, the fluid filling assembly 2 comprises a storage container 21 and a fluid storage module.

[0076] The storage container 21 is used to store fluid, the outlet of the storage container 21 is connected with the driving part, and the control assembly 3 is used to control the fluid in the storage container 21 to flow to the driving part. The fluid storage module is connected with the storage container 21, and is configured to fill the storage container 21 with fluid. The storage container 21 is arranged, and the fluid is pre-stored in the storage container 21 by the fluid storage module, so that the amount of fluid filled into the driving part is convenient to control.

[0077] The storage container 21 is provided with a first pressure detection member 22 for detecting the air pressure in the storage container 21, and when the first pressure detection member 22 detects that the pressure in the storage container 21 reaches a preset pressure value, the control fluid storage module stops filling the storage container 21 with fluid.

[0078] In an embodiment, the fluid storage module comprises a pump 23 and a one-way valve 24. The outlet of the pump 23 is connected to the inlet of the storage container 21 by a connecting pipe, and the pump 23 is configured to fill the storage container 21 with fluid. The one-way valve 24 is arranged on the connecting pipe, and the one-way valve 24 is configured to allow fluid to flow from the pump 23 to the storage container 21. If the fluid is a liquid, such as water, the inlet of the pump 23 is connected to the water tank of the toilet, and the pump 23 draws water from the water tank to fill the storage container 21, and the water in the storage container 21 flows to the massage module 1 and fills the driving part. If the fluid is a gas, such as external air, the inlet of the pump 23 is connected to the external environment, and the pump 23 draws air from the external environment to fill the storage container 21, and the gas in the storage container 21 flows to the massage module 1 and fills the driving part. The one-way valve 24 functions as a one-way stop, i.e. the pump 23 can fill the storage container 21 with fluid, but the fluid in the storage container 21 cannot flow to the pump 23, so that the fluid in the storage container 21 can only flow to the driving part.

[0079] In other embodiments, the fluid storage module comprises a delivery pipeline, one end of the delivery pipeline is connected to the inlet of the storage container 21, and an electrically controlled valve is arranged on the delivery pipeline, the other end of the delivery pipeline is connected to a fluid source, the fluid is a liquid, and the fluid source can be the water tank of the toilet. The storage container 21 is arranged below the water tank of the toilet, and water in the water tank of the toilet can flow to the storage container 21 by gravity. Alternatively, the fluid source is a liquid storage tank, and the storage container 21 is arranged below the liquid storage tank. When it is necessary to supply liquid to the storage container 21, the electrically controlled valve is opened, and when it is not necessary to supply liquid to the storage container 21, the electrically controlled valve is closed.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 9 In some embodiments, the control assembly 3 comprises a valve module arranged between the fluid filling assembly 2 and the massage module 1, and the valve module is configured to allow the fluid filling assembly 2 to supply fluid to the driving part, or to allow the fluid in the driving part to be discharged. Alternatively, the storage container 21 is inverted, and the fluid in the storage container 21 is discharged to the driving part by gravity or pressure in the storage container 21.

[0081] Optionally, the valve module comprises a straight-through valve 31, a first control valve 32 and a second control valve 33. The straight-through valve 31 is configured to connect or disconnect the massage module 1 and the fluid charging assembly 2, the first control valve 32 is configured to connect the driving part and the fluid charging assembly 2 or discharge the fluid in the driving part to the water tank of the closestool or the external environment, and the second control valve 33 is configured to connect and control the driving parts of the plurality of massage modules 1 to be connected or disconnected with the fluid charging assembly 2. The straight-through valve 31 can control the connection or disconnection between the fluid charging assembly 2 and the massage module 1. The first control valve 32 is used to control the flow direction of the fluid, i.e. the fluid flows from the fluid charging assembly 2 to the driving part, or to control the discharge of the fluid in the driving part. The second control valve 33 is used to make the fluid in the fluid charging assembly 2 flow to the driving parts of different massage modules 1 to control the operation of different massage modules 1. In addition, if the fluid is a liquid, such as water, one interface of the first control valve 32 is connected with the water tank of the closestool, and the discharged fluid in the massage module 1 flows to the water tank of the closestool. Or one interface of the first control valve 32 is connected with a liquid container. If the fluid is air, such as external air, one interface of the first control valve 32 is connected with the external environment, and the discharged gas in the driving part of the massage module 1 is discharged to the external environment.

[0082] In other implementable manners, the valve module comprises a straight-through valve 31, a fluid pumping device and a second control valve 33. The straight-through valve 31 is configured to connect or disconnect the massage module 1 and the fluid charging assembly 2, the fluid pumping device is configured to discharge the fluid in the driving part to the water tank of the closestool or the external environment, and the second control valve 33 is configured to connect and control the driving parts of the plurality of massage modules 1 to be connected or disconnected with the fluid charging assembly 2. The straight-through valve 31 can control the connection or disconnection between the fluid charging assembly 2 and the massage module 1. The fluid pumping device is used to control the flow direction of the fluid, i.e. to control the discharge of the fluid in the driving part. The second control valve 33 is used to make the fluid in the fluid charging assembly 2 flow to the driving parts of different massage modules 1 or make the fluid in the driving parts of different massage modules 1 be discharged to control the operation of different massage modules 1. For a smart closestool, a sensor is usually further included, which is configured to sense whether there is a person on the seat 100 to make the control assembly 3 control the fluid charging assembly 2 to provide fluid to the driving parts of the massage module 1. The sensor is a component of the closestool itself, and the function of the sensor is used to realize the control of the control assembly 3, which simplifies the structure and reduces the use amount of components. The control assembly 3 further comprises a controller, which is electrically connected with the straight-through valve 31, the first control valve 32 and the second control valve 33. The controller can also be the controller on the smart closestool. After the controller receives the sensing signal of the sensor, the straight-through valve 31, the first control valve 32 and the second control valve 33 are controlled to work, which simplifies the structure and reduces the use amount of components.

The massage device can set a first massage mode, a second massage mode, a third massage mode, etc. according to the number of the set massage modules 1. Specifically, the plurality of massage modules 1 can work simultaneously, or the plurality of massage modules 1 can work alternately. The plurality of massage modules 1 can realize different massage modes in different combination modes to achieve different massage effects.

[0084] In other some implementable manners, the massage driving unit comprises two pumps, one pump is used to provide fluid to the driving part of the massage module 1, and the other pump is used to extract the fluid from the driving part of the massage module 1. Valves or other components can be adaptively arranged on the pipelines connecting the two pumps and the driving part to ensure that the fluid flows in the specified direction. The specific structure is not described in detail here.

[0085] Figure 5 and Figure 6 is a structural schematic view of the massage head 11 in the retracted state in the present application, Figure 7 and Figure 8 is a structural schematic view of the massage head 11 in the extended state in the present application. The present application also provides a massage control method of a massage device, which is applied to the above-mentioned massage device. The massage control method mainly comprises the following steps:

[0086] S1, controlling the massage driving unit to provide fluid to the driving part, so that the plurality of massage heads 11 protrude from the surface of the raceway 100.

[0087] S2, controlling the massage driving unit to discharge the fluid in the driving part, and the driving part drives the massage head 11 to retract into the raceway 100.

[0088] The fluid is provided to the driving part of the massage module 1 to make the plurality of massage heads 11 protrude from the surface of the raceway 100, the fluid in the driving part is discharged, the plurality of massage heads 11 retract into the raceway 100, the massage effect is formed, and the massage effect is good. No noise is generated during the protruding and retracting of the massage head 11.

[0089] Specifically, the massage control method of the massage device comprises:

[0090] Step one, controlling the fluid storage module to pre-charge fluid into the storage container 21.

[0091] Specifically, when it is sensed that there is a person on the raceway 100, or after it is sensed that there is a person on the raceway 100 and lasts for a preset time, the pump body 23 is started to pre-charge fluid into the storage container 21.

[0092] Step two, when the fluid in the storage container 21 reaches a preset value, the control assembly 3 controls the fluid in the storage container 21 to flow to the driving part, and the driving part drives the massage head 11 to protrude from the surface of the raceway 100.

[0093] Specifically, the determination of whether the fluid in the storage container 21 has reached a preset value is made via the first pressure detection element 22 in the storage container 21. After the fluid in the storage container 21 reaches the preset value, the pump body 23 stops operating. The control assembly 3 controls the flow of the fluid in the storage container 21 toward the drive unit. Specifically, the through valve 31 is opened, the first control valve 32 connects the drive unit and the fluid filling assembly 2, and the second control valve 33 connects the drive unit and the fluid filling assembly 2, causing the fluid in the storage container 21 to flow toward the drive unit.

[0094] Step 3: Control the massage drive unit to discharge the fluid in the drive part, and the multiple massage heads 11 retract into the seat ring 100.

[0095] Specifically, when the fluid in the driving part is discharged, the through valve 31 is in a closed state, the first control valve 32 connects the driving part and the water tank of the toilet or the external environment, the second control valve 33 is in an open state, the fluid in the driving part flows to the water tank of the toilet or the external environment, the fluid in the driving part is discharged, and the multiple massage heads 11 are retracted into the seat ring 100.

[0096] The second pressure detecting member 110 closes the first control valve 32 and the second control valve 33 when detecting that the pressure of the driving part drops to a preset value.

[0097] Step 4: Step S1 and step S2 are performed alternately, and after step S2 is performed, step S1 is performed at a preset interval to achieve a massage effect.

[0098] The preset time can be 0 seconds or longer, and is not specifically limited here. If the preset time is 0 seconds, the storage container 21 is pre-filled with fluid simultaneously with the fluid being discharged from the driving unit. If the preset time is longer than 0 seconds, the storage container 21 is pre-filled with fluid after the fluid in the driving unit is discharged. The above two situations can achieve different massage effects with different time periods.

[0099] like Figure 9 As shown, the massage module 1 can be provided with multiple, in one mode, such as Figure 10 As shown, the massage drive unit is controlled to simultaneously supply fluid to the drive parts of multiple massage modules 1, or the massage drive unit is controlled to discharge fluid from the drive parts of multiple massage modules 1. This figure only shows the working timing diagram of one massage module 1.

[0100] like Figure 9 As shown, the massage modules 1 can be provided with multiple, in another mode, fluid is alternately supplied to different massage modules 1, or the massage drive unit is controlled to alternately discharge the fluid in the drive parts of multiple massage modules 1. Multiple massage modules 1 can be set with multiple working modes. For example, Figure 11As shown, taking the example of two massage modules 1 working alternately, the control module fills the storage container 21 with fluid, when the fluid in the storage container 21 reaches a preset value, the control assembly 3 controls the flow of the fluid in the storage container 21 to the driving part of the first massage module 1, then the control assembly 3 controls the discharge of the fluid in the driving part of the first massage module 1. Again, the control module fills the storage container 21 with fluid, when the fluid in the storage container 21 reaches a preset value, the control assembly 3 controls the flow of the fluid in the storage container 21 to the driving part of the second massage module 1, then the control assembly 3 controls the discharge of the fluid in the driving part of the second massage module 1. In this way, the fluid is filled alternately in the two massage modules 1 to achieve different massage effects. Multiple massage modules 1 can be combined to form different massage modes, which will not be described one by one here.
