[0040] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" 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, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0041] Reference will be made below to Figures 1 - 10 describe a neck massager 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] As Figures 1 - 10 shown, a neck massager 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a wearing bracket 10 and two massage components 30. The wearing bracket 10 includes a bracket body 11 and two handles 12. The two handles 12 are disposed on opposite sides of the bracket body 11 (such as Figure 1 the left and right sides shown), and the bracket body 11 and the two handles 12 enclose a neck-encircling space 101 for accommodating the user's neck.

[0043] The bracket body 11 is provided with a driving component 22. Both of the two massage components 30 are disposed on one side of the wearing bracket 10 facing the neck-encircling space 101 (such as Figure 3 the front side shown), which can reduce the occupied space inside the wearing bracket 10, is beneficial to reducing the size of the wearing bracket 10, and the two massage components 30 are respectively connected to the driving component 22. The driving component 22 can drive the two massage components 30 to approach each other or move away from each other to achieve neck massage. For the neck massager 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, by providing two massage components 30 on the wearing bracket 10 and connecting the two massage components 30 to the driving component 22 inside the wearing bracket 10, the driving component 22 can drive the two massage components 30 to move, so as to clamp the neck and knead the neck to achieve neck massage, and the overall number of components is small, which can simplify the structure, save space, and is beneficial to the miniaturization of the neck massager 100.

[0044] In addition, by disposing the massage component 30 outside the wearing bracket 10, compared with placing the massage component 30 inside the wearing bracket 10, the size of the wearing bracket 10 can be reduced, the wearing bracket 10 can be prevented from being too bulky, the design requirement of the lightness of the neck massager 100 can be met, and the use operation by the user is facilitated.

[0045] It can be understood that the hardness of the handle 12 is greater than that of the bracket body 11. The bracket body 11 can provide elastic freedom when the two handles 12 are opened, that is, when the two handles 12 are forced to open, the bracket body 11 can undergo elastic deformation. After the external force applied to the two handles 12 is removed, the bracket body 11 can recover its deformation, causing the two handles 12 to approach each other, which is beneficial for the two handles 12 to closely fit the user's neck after the user's neck enters the neck-wrapping space 101, can improve the clamping force of the wearing bracket 10 on the user's neck, and further can reduce the probability of the wearing bracket 10 detaching from the user's neck when the neck massager 100 is working, thereby improving the stability of the wearing bracket 10 clamping the user's neck.

[0046] In some embodiments, the massage assembly 30 includes a connecting rod 31 and a massage head 32. One end of the connecting rod 31 (such as Figure 10 the shown rear end) is connected to the driving assembly 22, and the other end of the connecting rod 31 (such as Figure 10 the shown front end) is connected to the massage head 32. The driving assembly 22 can drive the connecting rod 31 to move to drive the massage head 32 to move, so as to realize the mutual approach or mutual separation of the two massage assemblies 30. When the massage assembly 30 massages, the massage head 32 contacts the user's neck. The outer surface of the massage head 32 can be a curved surface. By fitting the curved surface to the neck, the touch of the neck can be improved, and the comfort of the user can be enhanced.

[0047] Among them, the curved surface bulges in the direction towards the other massage assembly, which can increase the contact area between the massage head 32 and the neck, is beneficial to expanding the massage range of the massage assembly 30, can improve the massage effect on the neck, and at the same time can also improve the fitting effect between the massage head 32 and the neck, and improve the clamping effect of the massage assembly 30 on the neck.

[0048] Such as Figures 1 - 3 , according to some embodiments of the present invention, the neck massager 100 has a length direction F1, a height direction F2, and a width direction F3. The length direction F1 is the left-right direction as shown in Figure 1 , the height direction F2 is the up-down direction as shown in Figure 1 , and the width direction F3 is the front-back direction as shown in Figure 3 . It should be noted that the left-right direction, the front-back direction, and the up-down direction in the embodiments are only for convenience of description, rather than a limitation on the product orientation. In other embodiments or actual use, the up-down direction, the left-right direction, and the front-back direction can be interchanged. For example, the length direction F1 can be the front-back direction or the up-down direction.

[0049] Such as Figure 3 and Figure 10As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, two massage components 30 are arranged at intervals along the length direction F1, so that the two massage components 30 can apply forces to opposite sides of the neck, and the forces applied by the two massage components 30 to the neck all point to the inside of the neck, improving the clamping effect of the wearing bracket 10 on the neck and the massage effect on the neck.

[0050] Among them, when the two massage components 30 are in the position farthest from each other, it belongs to the loosest state of the neck massager 100, and when the two massage components 30 are in the position closest to each other, it belongs to the tightest state of the neck massager 100.

[0051] The neck massager 100 includes a first side 30a and a second side 30b. In the width direction F3, the first side 30a and the second side 30b are respectively located on opposite sides of the massage component 30, and the first side 30a is closer to the handle 12 than the second side 30b, that is, the first side 30a is the Figure 3 front side of the massage component 30 as shown, and the second side 30b is the Figure 3 rear side of the massage component 30 as shown.

[0052] When the two massage components 30 are in the position farthest from each other, that is, in the loosest state, the acting force direction of the massage component 30 is inclined towards the direction of the first side 30a (the Figure 3 front side as shown). Here, the acting force of the massage component 30 on the neck is parallel to the moving direction of the massage head 32 and perpendicular to the extending direction of the connecting rod 31.

[0053] As Figure 3 shown, the acute angle between the acting force direction of the massage component 30 and the length direction F1 is α, the acting force of the massage component 30 is F, the component force of F in the width direction F3 is Fb, and the direction of Fb is the Figure 3 direction from back to front as shown. The component force of F in the length direction F1 is Fa. If α is larger, Fb is larger, the forward acting force applied to the neck increases, and it is easy for the wearing bracket 10 to be separated from the neck due to the reaction force of the neck when the massage component 30 massages the neck, and Fa will be smaller, resulting in a decrease in the clamping force of the massage component 30 on the neck. Therefore, α can be limited between 0 - 45°, and α can be 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, etc.

[0054] When the two massage components 30 are in the position farthest from each other, it is relatively easy for the wearing bracket 10 to disengage from the neck. Therefore, by defining α, when in the loosest state, the clamping force of the massage component 30 on the neck is increased, and the forward thrust applied by the massage component 30 to the neck can also be reduced, preventing the massage component 30 from pushing the neck forward during massage and causing the wearing bracket 10 to disengage from the neck. Furthermore, throughout the massage process, it is difficult for the wearing bracket 10 to disengage from the user's neck, improving the wearing stability of the wearing bracket 10 and the massage effect of the massage component 30 on the neck.

[0055] As Figure 4 and Figure 10 shown, in some examples, when the two massage components 30 are in the position closest to each other, that is, in the tightest state, the acting force direction of the massage component 30 is inclined towards the second side 30b (the rear side as shown in Figure 4 ). Here, the acting force of the massage component 30 on the neck is parallel to the moving direction of the massage head 32 and perpendicular to the extending direction of the connecting rod 31.

[0056] As Figure 4 shown, the acting force of the massage component 30 is P, the component force of P in the length direction F1 is Pa, and the direction of Pb is the direction from back to front as shown in Figure 4 , so that the wearing bracket 10 applies a backward acting force to the neck, which can prevent the wearing bracket 10 from disengaging from the neck. The component force of P in the width direction F3 is Pb, which is towards the inside of the neck, so that the massage component 30 can also play an auxiliary clamping role, which is beneficial to improving the clamping effect of the neck massager 100 on the neck and the massage effect of the massage component 30 on the neck.

[0057] It can be understood that when the neck massager 100 is in the loosest state, the component force Fb of the acting force direction of the massage component 30 is small, which can prevent the neck from separating from the neck massager 100. When the neck massager 100 is in the tightest state, since the direction of the component force Pb of the acting force direction of the massage component 30 is the direction from front to back as shown in Figure 4 , that is, the massage component 30 squeezes the neck backward. Therefore, during the process of the neck massager 100 switching from the loosest state to the tightest state, the acting force of the massage component 30 on the neck gradually inclines inward, so that it is difficult for the wearing bracket 10 to disengage from the neck throughout the massage process of the neck massager 100, which can improve the wearing stability and the massage effect on the neck.

[0058] As Figures 5 - 8As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a first plane is defined. The first plane is located on one side of the neck massager 100 in the height direction F2, and the first plane is perpendicular to the height direction F2 of the neck massager 100. The neck massager 100 can be projected onto the first plane. A midline m is defined. The projections of the two massage components 30 on the first plane are symmetric about the midline m, and the point on the intersection of the projection of the wearing bracket 10 and the midline m that is closest to the neck-wrapping space 101 is the first vertex a. A first circle C is defined. Since the diameter of most people's necks is about 110 mm, the diameter of the first circle C is defined as 110 mm, and the diameter of the first circle C coincides with the midline m, and the first circle C passes through the first vertex a.

[0059] As Figure 5 shown, when the two massage components 30 are in the position farthest from each other, that is, when the neck massager 100 is in the loosest state, each massage component 30 has a first clamping area 321 projected inside the first circle C. The part where the first circle C intersects the first clamping area 321 is the first arc C1, and the part between the two first arcs C1 is the second arc C2.

[0060] The central angle of the second arc C2 is θ1. If θ1 is too large, it is easy for the massage component 30 to extend to the front side of the neck to clamp the front part of the neck, and since the trachea is located in the front part of the neck, it is easy to clamp the trachea. If θ1 is too small, it is easy for the massage component 30 to contact the back part of the neck, and a force from the back to the front will be exerted on the neck, causing the wearing bracket 10 to separate from the neck due to the reaction force of the neck. θ1 can be limited between 65° and 95°, and θ1 can be any one of the point values 65°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 95° or any range value between any two of them.

[0061] Thus, it can prevent the massage component 30 from extending too far forward to squeeze the trachea located in the front part of the neck, improving the user experience, and can also prevent the wearing bracket 10 from separating from the neck, improving the wearing stability and the massage effect on the neck.

[0062] As Figure 5 shown, in some examples, the two first arcs C1 and the second arc C2 form a first clamping arc, that is, the first clamping arc includes the two first arcs C1 and the second arc C2. The central angle of the first clamping arc is β1. Among them, if β1 is too large, it is easy for the massage component 30 to extend to the front side of the neck to clamp the front part of the neck, and since the trachea is located in the front part of the neck, it is easy to clamp the trachea. If β1 is too small, the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck is too small, and the massage effect is limited. Therefore, β1 can be limited between 130° and 180°, and β1 can be any one of the point values 130°, 150°, 180° or any range value between any two of them.

[0063] Thus, it is possible to prevent the massage component 30 from protruding too far forward to squeeze the trachea located in the front of the neck, improving the user experience. It is also possible to make the massage component 30 contact the middle part of the neck and massage it, increasing the massage area and enhancing the massage effect.

[0064] As Figure 5 shown, in some examples, the central angle of the first arc C1 is γ1. If γ1 is too large, too much of the massage component 30 within the first circle C will be in the loosest state, and the distance between the two massage components 30 will also decrease, making it difficult for the neck to enter the neck-wrapping space 101, that is, it is difficult for the neck massager 100 to be stuck on the neck. If γ1 is too small, the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck is too small, and the massage effect is limited. Therefore, γ1 can be limited between 50° and 100°, and γ1 can be any point value among 50°, 75°, and 100° or the range value between any two of them.

[0065] Thus, on the basis of facilitating the neck to enter the neck-wrapping space 101, the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck can be increased to a certain extent, improving the massage effect of the massage component 30 on the neck.

[0066] As Figure 6 shown, when the two massage components 30 are in the closest position to each other, that is, when the neck massager 100 is in the tightest state, each massage component 30 has a second clamping area 322 projected into the interior of the first circle C. The part where the first circle C intersects with the second clamping area 322 is the third arc C3, and the part between the two third arcs C3 is the fourth arc C4.

[0067] The central angle of the fourth arc C4 is θ2. If θ2 is too large, the force exerted by the massage component 30 on the neck in the tightest state will be reduced, and it is difficult for the massage component 30 to clamp the neck. If θ2 is too small, the massage component 30 is likely to clamp the part of the neck that is too far back, generating a forward thrust, which is likely to cause the wearing bracket 10 to detach from the neck due to the reaction force of the neck. Therefore, θ2 can be limited between 35° and 65°, and θ2 can be any point value among 35°, 50°, and 65° or the range value between any two of them.

[0068] Thus, it is possible to improve the clamping effect on the neck, prevent the probability of the wearing bracket 10 from detaching from the neck, improve the stability of the cooperation between the neck massager 100 and the neck, and enhance the massage effect of the massage component 30 on the neck.

[0069] As Figure 6As shown, in some examples, two third arcs C3 and a fourth arc C4 form a second clamping arc, that is, the second clamping arc includes two third arcs C3 and a fourth arc C4, and the central angle of the second clamping arc is β2. Among them, if β2 is too large, it is easy for the massage component 30 to extend to the front side of the neck to clamp the front part of the neck. And since the trachea is located in the front part of the neck, it is easy to clamp the trachea. If β2 is too small, the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck is too small, and the massage effect is limited. Therefore, β2 can be limited between 125° and 165°. β2 can be any point value among 125°, 145°, and 165° or the range value between any two of them.

[0070] Thus, it can not only prevent the massage component 30 from protruding too far forward to squeeze the trachea located in the front part of the neck, improving the user experience, but also enable the massage component 30 to contact and massage near the middle part of the neck, increasing the massage area and enhancing the massage effect.

[0071] As Figure 6 shown, in some examples, the central angle of the third arc C3 is γ2. If γ2 is too large, the force exerted by the massage component 30 on the neck in the tightest state is too large, clamping the neck too tightly and causing discomfort in the neck. If γ2 is too small, the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck is too small, and the massage effect is limited. Therefore, γ2 can be limited between 75° and 115°. γ2 can be any point value among 75°, 95°, and 115° or the range value between any two of them.

[0072] Thus, it can not only ensure the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck, improving the massage effect on the neck, but also avoid the force exerted by the massage component 30 on the neck being too large, improving the comfort of the neck.

[0073] As Figure 5As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, each massage component 30 includes a connecting rod 31 and a massage head 32. Each massage head 32 has a massage surface projected onto a first plane. When the two massage components 30 are in the position farthest from each other, that is, when the neck massager 100 is in the loosest state, each massage head 32 has a first clamping area 321 projected inside the first circle C. The area of the first clamping area 321 is S1, and the area of the massage surface is S. The ratio of the area of the first clamping area 321 to the area of the massage surface is S1 / S. For a massage head 32 of a certain size, if S1 / S is too large and S1 is too large, too much of the massage component 30 inside the first circle C will be in the loosest state, and the distance between the two massage components 30 will decrease, that is, the distance between the two massage components 30 is relatively close, resulting in difficulty for the neck to enter the neck-wrapping space 101, that is, it is difficult for the neck massager 100 to be stuck on the neck. If S1 / S is too small and S1 is too small, the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck will be too small, making it difficult to clamp the neck and easily causing the wearing bracket 10 to separate from the neck, and it is also difficult to achieve a massage effect on the neck. Therefore, S1 / S can be limited between 0.2 and 0.5, and S1 / S can be any point value among 0.2, 0.35, 0.5 or the range value between any two of them.

[0074] Thus, on the basis of facilitating the neck to enter the neck-wrapping space 101, after the two massage components 30 move away from each other to the maximum distance, the massage components 30 can still play a certain clamping role on the neck, improving the clamping effect on the neck, preventing the wearing bracket 10 from detaching from the neck, and the massage components 30 can massage the neck, so that the massage components 30 can perform a certain massage on the neck throughout the movement process.

[0075] As Figure 6 shown, in some examples, when the two massage components 30 are in the position closest to each other, that is, when the neck massager 100 is in the tightest state, each massage component 30 has a second clamping area 322 projected inside the first circle C. The area of the second clamping area 322 is S2, and the area of the massage surface is S. The ratio of the area of the second clamping area 322 to the area of the massage surface is S2 / S. For a massage head 32 of a certain size, if S2 / S is too large and S2 is too large, the force exerted by the massage component 30 on the neck in the tightest state will be too large, easily squeezing the neck and affecting the comfort of the user during the massage. If S2 / S is too small and S2 is too small, the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck will be too small, and the massage effect on the neck will be limited. Therefore, S2 / S can be limited between 0.5 and 1, and S2 / S can be any point value among 0.5, 0.75, 1 or the range value between any two of them.

[0076] Thus, after the two massage components 30 move closer to each other until the minimum distance is reached, the contact area between the massage components 30 and the neck can be increased to a certain extent, improving the clamping and massage effects on the neck. Also, it can prevent the massage components 30 from exerting too much force on the neck and squeezing the neck, enhancing the user experience.

[0077] In some examples, when the wearing bracket 10 is in an unloaded state, that is, when the neck massager 100 is in an initial non-working state, each massage component 30 has a third clamping area projected inside the first circle C.

[0078] The area of the third clamping area is S3, the area of the massage surface is S, and the ratio of the area of the third clamping area to the area of the massage surface is S3 / S. For a massage head 32 of a certain size, if S3 / S is too large and S3 is too large, too much of the massage component 30 is located inside the first circle C, and the distance between the two massage components 30 decreases, that is, the distance between the two massage components 30 is relatively close, making it difficult for the neck to enter the neck-wrapping space 101, that is, it is difficult for the neck massager 100 to be clamped on the neck. If S3 / S is too small and S3 is too small, the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck is too small, making it difficult to clamp the neck, easily causing the wearing bracket 10 to separate from the neck, and it is also difficult to achieve a massage effect on the neck. Therefore, S3 / S can be limited between 0.2 - 0.5, and S3 / S can be any one of the point values 0.2, 0.35, 0.5 or the range value between any two of them.

[0079] Thus, on the basis of facilitating the neck to enter the neck-wrapping space 101, it can also exert a certain clamping effect on the neck when the neck massager 100 is in a non-working state, improving the clamping effect on the neck and facilitating the wearing of the neck massager 100.

[0080] It should be noted that when the neck massager 100 is in the initial non-working state, the two massage components 30 can be in the position farthest from each other, or the two massage components 30 can also be between the position farthest from each other and the position closest to each other.

[0081] Among them, when the neck massager 100 is in the initial non-working state and the two massage components 30 are between the position farthest from each other and the position closest to each other, if the neck massager 100 enters the working state from the non-working state, at this time, the two massage components 30 can first move away from each other to a certain distance, which can prevent the massage components 30 from jamming the neck during the process of the neck entering the neck-wrapping space 101 when starting to work, facilitating the neck to smoothly enter and exit the neck-wrapping space 101 and being convenient for operation.

[0082] Such as Figure 7As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, when the two massage components 30 are in the position farthest from each other, that is, when the neck massager 100 is in the loosest state, each massage component 30 has a first clamping area 321 projected inside the first circle. The first clamping area 321 located on the first circle C has an end point 30c. In the width direction F3, the end point 30c is the end point 30c farthest from the first vertex a; a straight line is defined, the straight line is parallel to the length direction F1 of the neck massager 100, and the straight line passes through the above-mentioned end point 30c. In the width direction F3, the distance between the straight line and the first vertex a is L1.

[0083] If L1 is too large, the massage component 30 extends forward too much. If it extends to the front side of the neck, it is easy to squeeze the trachea in the neck, etc., which will cause an uncomfortable experience and even pose a danger; if L1 is too small, the massage component 30 is difficult to contact the neck, or the neck area clamped by the massage component 30 is small, and the massage effect of the massage component 30 is poor. Therefore, L1 is limited to be between 0.35D and 0.6D. L1 can be any one of the point values of 0.35D, 0.5D, 0.6D or the range value between any two of them.

[0084] This can increase the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck to a certain extent, improve the clamping effect of the massage component 30 on the neck, and thus be beneficial to improving the massage effect on the neck. At the same time, it can prevent the massage component 30 from extending to the front side of the neck, thereby preventing the massage component 30 from squeezing the trachea located in the front of the neck and ensuring the user experience.

[0085] As Figure 8 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, when the two massage components 30 are in the position closest to each other, that is, when the neck massager 100 is in the tightest state, each massage component 30 has a second clamping area 322 projected inside the first circle. The second clamping area 322 located on the first circle C has an end point 30c. In the width direction F3, the end point 30c is the end point 30c farthest from the first vertex a; a straight line is defined, the straight line is parallel to the length direction F1 of the neck massager 100, and the straight line passes through the above-mentioned end point 30c. In the width direction F3, the distance between the straight line and the first vertex a is L2.

[0086] Among them, if L2 is too large, the massage component 30 extends forward too much. If it extends to the front side of the neck, it is easy to squeeze the trachea in the neck, etc., which will cause an uncomfortable experience and even pose a danger. Moreover, at this position, the clamping force of the massage component 30 on the neck is relatively large, and the distance from the trachea needs to be appropriately increased to reduce the extrusion of the trachea in the neck. If L2 is too small, it is difficult for the massage component 30 to contact the neck, or the neck area clamped by the massage component 30 is small, and the massage effect of the massage component 30 is poor. Therefore, L2 is limited to be between 0.3D and 0.5D, and L2 can be any one of the point values of 0.3D, 0.4D, 0.5D or the range value between any two of them.

[0087] Thereby, the contact area between the massage component 30 and the neck can be increased to a certain extent, the clamping effect of the massage component 30 on the neck can be improved, which is conducive to improving the massage effect on the neck. At the same time, it can avoid the massage component 30 from excessively squeezing the trachea in the front of the neck and ensure the user experience.

[0088] Such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown in, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the movement mechanism 20 includes a movement mechanism housing 21 and a drive assembly 22. The movement mechanism housing 21 is disposed in the bracket body 11, and the movement mechanism housing 21 is connected to the bracket body 11. The front side of the movement mechanism housing 21 facing the neck surrounding space 101 has a limit port 211, and the limit port 211 extends along the length direction F1. The drive assembly 22 is disposed in the movement mechanism housing 21. The drive assembly 22 includes a drive motor 221, a gear set 222, and a transmission shaft 223. The drive motor 221 includes a motor body 2211 and an output shaft 2212. A worm is sleeved on the output shaft 2212. The gear set 222 includes a first gear 2221 and a second gear 2222. The diameter of the first gear 2221 is larger than the diameter of the second gear 2222. The front side of the first gear 2221 has a bevel gear coaxially rotating therewith. The rear side of the second gear 2222 has a pinion coaxially rotating therewith. The transmission shaft 223 is perpendicular to the output shaft 2212 and is sleeved with a bevel gear. The worm on the output shaft 2212 meshes with the second gear 2222. The first gear 2221 meshes with the pinion on the second gear 2222, and the bevel gear on the first gear 2221 meshes with the bevel gear on the transmission shaft 223.

[0089] The massage component 30 includes a connecting rod 31 and a massage head 32. A part of the connecting rod 31 extends into the bracket body 11, and a part of the connecting rod 31 passes through the limit port 211 and is connected to both ends of the transmission shaft 223 (such as Figure 10is drivably connected to the left or right end shown. Another part of the connecting rod 31 is located on the front side of the bracket body 11 facing the neck-wrapping space 101, and the other part of the connecting rod 31 is connected to the massage head 32. The drive motor 221 drives a plurality of gears to rotate through the output shaft 2212 to drive the transmission shaft 223 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 223 can drive the connecting rod 31 to move. And since the limiting port 211 can limit the movement direction of the connecting rod 31, the two massage heads 32 move away from or close to each other under the drive of the connecting rod 31.

[0090] The outer surface of the massage head 32 of each massage assembly 30 forms a curved surface protruding in the direction towards the other massage assembly 30, which can improve the fitting effect between the massage head 32 and the neck, so that the massage assembly 30 can play an auxiliary clamping role, improve the clamping effect of the massage assembly 30 on the neck, and at the same time is beneficial to increasing the contact area between the massage head 32 and the neck, expanding the massage range of the massage assembly 30, improving the massage effect on the neck, and enhancing the comfort of the user.

[0091] In some examples, a flexible member 40 is provided on one side of the handle 12 close to the neck-wrapping space 101. The flexible member 40 can be made of flexible materials such as flexible cloth, elastic cloth, and silicone rubber parts. The setting of the flexible member 40 can improve the touch feeling of the neck when the neck massager 100 clamps the neck, improve the user experience, and the flexible member 40 can be strip-shaped, which can increase the contact area between the flexible member 40 and the neck, make the inner peripheral shape of the entire wearing bracket 10 fit the neck, be beneficial to improving the clamping effect of the wearing bracket 10 on the neck, and at the same time improve the comfort of the user.
