In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0017] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. It can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection. It can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. It can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a flexible swing device provided in this embodiment includes a motor fixing frame 1, a motor 2, a rocker arm 3 and a connecting member 4, wherein the motor 2 is fixedly installed in the motor fixing frame 1, the rotating shaft of the motor 1 is placed outside the motor fixing frame 1, an eccentric mechanism 5 is arranged on the rotating shaft of the motor 2, the rocker arm 3 is respectively hinged on the ports of the motor fixing frame 1, the connecting member 4 is a flexible body, the middle part of the connecting member 4 is connected to the output shaft of the eccentric mechanism 5, the side extensions of the connecting member 4 are connected to connecting rods 41, and the connecting rods 41 are respectively connected to the rocker arm 3.

[0019] This embodiment directly uses the flexible connecting member 4 as the transmission, directly eliminating the use of gears and connecting rods, making the overall transmission mechanism very simple, effectively reducing costs, and making assembly very simple. There is no need to consider the precise meshing of gears and the precise overlap between connecting rods, and there is no transmission friction between gears and connecting rods. The use of lubricating oil is eliminated, thereby reducing the load on the motor 2.

[0020] During specific transmission, the number of rocker rods 3 is preferably four, and the motor 2 generates a rotational force to make the eccentric mechanism 5 output a circular path along a certain diameter for rotation. The connecting member 3 connected to the eccentric mechanism 5 is a flexible body, and the side ends of the connecting member 3 are respectively connected to the rocker rod 3. Therefore, when the eccentric mechanism 5 drives the connecting member 4 to move, the connecting member 4 and the connecting rod 41 are constantly deformed. Only when the moving direction corresponds to the active direction of the rocker rod 3, the rocker rod 3 will be pushed to move. Every time it rotates one circle, each rocker rod 3 will swing once, thus completing the swinging work.

[0021] Furthermore, as for the material of the connecting member 4, silicone material is preferably used, and of course other flexible materials that can meet the above-mentioned transmission function can also be used.

[0022] Further, with regard to the specific structural design of the eccentric mechanism 5, the eccentric mechanism 5 of this embodiment includes a rotating block 51 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor 2, a vertical rod 52 is provided at the eccentric position of the rotating block 51, a sleeve block 53 is fixedly sleeved on the vertical rod 52, a first annular groove 54 is provided on the periphery of the sleeve block 53, a first sleeve opening 42 is provided in the middle of the connecting member 4, and the connecting member 4 is sleeved in the first annular groove 54 through its own deformation at the first sleeve opening 42. In this way, after the rotating shaft of the motor 2 rotates, the rotating block 51 is first driven to rotate, and the vertical rod 52 located on the rotating block 51, because of the eccentric design, the running track of the vertical rod 52 is a circular track of a specific diameter, and the connecting member 4 is installed on the vertical rod 52, and it will also rotate in a circular track, thereby meeting the above-mentioned transmission requirements; at the same time, because the first sleeve opening 42 and the first annular groove 54 are used for assembly, it is convenient to install, and the elastic deformation force of the connecting member 4 itself is relied on to meet the stable installation requirements.

[0023] Furthermore, regarding the connection between the rocker arm 3 and the connecting rod 41, the present embodiment is also assembled in an easy-to-install manner, that is, a second annular groove 31 is provided on the rod body of the rocker arm 3, and a second sleeve 43 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 41. The connecting rod 41 is sleeved in the second annular groove 31 through its own deformation at the second sleeve 43.

[0024] In addition, when it is necessary to explain, when this embodiment is used in a massage instrument, the motor fixing frame 1 is installed inside the instrument, and the top end of the swing rod 3 is used to connect the massage head.

[0025] At the same time, when used as a massager, in order to improve the massage effect, the motor 2 of this embodiment is a double-headed motor, one of the rotating shafts of the motor 2 is connected to the eccentric mechanism 5, and an eccentric wheel 21 is provided on the other rotating shaft of the motor 2. In this way, when the swing rod 3 is swung for massage, the eccentric vibration is also generated by the same motor 2 to provide a vibration massage effect.

[0026] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
