Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6In this embodiment, an abdominal massager 100 is provided, which includes a rotary massage unit 10 and two movable massage units 20, namely a first movable massage unit 21 and a second movable massage unit 22.

[0030] The rotating massage unit 10 includes a main body 11 and an abdominal massage component 12 disposed on the main body 11; the abdominal massage component 12 is rotatably connected to the main body 11 and can rotate along the circumference of the main body 11.

[0031] The first mobile massage unit 21 is disposed on one side of the main body 11. The first mobile massage unit 21 includes a first base 211 and a first push-press component 212 mounted on the first base 211. The first push-press component 212 can reciprocate in the vertical direction and in a direction perpendicular to the first base 211.

[0032] The second mobile massage unit 22 is located on the other side of the main body 11 away from the first mobile massage unit 21. The second mobile massage unit 22 includes a second base 221 and a second push-press component 222 mounted on the second base 221. The second push-press component 222 can also reciprocate along the vertical direction and in a direction perpendicular to the second base 221.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the main body 11 of the rotary massage unit 10 may include a main housing 111, which is formed by connecting a front housing and a rear housing to form a receiving cavity. A controller and a drive assembly are disposed within the receiving cavity. The drive assembly within the main housing 111 may include a rotary motor 112 and a transmission gear 113 connected to the rotary motor 112.

[0034] The front side of the main housing 111 is provided with an abdominal massage component 12, which may include a massage disc 121 and massage protrusions 122 disposed on the front side of the massage disc 121. An internal gear 123 is provided on the rear side of the massage disc 121 opposite to the massage protrusions 122. The internal gear 123 is connected to a transmission gear 113, so that the rotary motor 112 can drive the massage disc 121 and the massage protrusions 122 on the massage disc 121 to rotate via the transmission gear 113. A controller inside the main housing 111 is electrically connected to the rotary motor 112 to control the rotation direction and speed of the massage disc 121.

[0035] In some embodiments, a red light, infrared light therapy lamp plate module or far infrared, hot compress module can be installed at the center of the massage turntable 121 to perform infrared physiotherapy on the user's abdomen, so that the local subcutaneous tissue is heated deeply. On the one hand, it can promote abdominal blood circulation and enhance local metabolism; on the other hand, it can relax the abdominal wall muscle group and relieve tension or distending pain. At the same time, red light and far infrared waveband can also enhance the activity of tissue cells, which helps to accelerate intestinal peristalsis and improve the auxiliary improvement effect of massage on constipation, abdominal distension and other discomforts. The synergistic effect of massage and light and heat physiotherapy makes the overall analgesic, warming abdominal and defecation effect more significant.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 , the first mobile massage unit 21 is arranged on one side of the rotating main body 11, and the second mobile massage unit 22 is arranged on the opposite side of the rotating main body 11, and the mechanical structure of the first mobile massage unit 21 and the second mobile unit is the same, which is composed of a base body and a push and press assembly arranged on the base body. Among them, the push and press assembly can be composed of a plurality of massage heads, and the massage heads can be selected in shapes such as spherical, strip or wide face roller, and the surface can be covered with soft silica gel to reduce the pain when rolling.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the first base body 211 and the second base body 221 each include a shell 23 and a driving mechanism 24. The shell 23 has a receiving cavity inside; the driving mechanism 24 is arranged in the receiving cavity of the shell 23 and is connected with the first push and press assembly 212 or the second push and press assembly 222. The driving mechanism 24 is used to drive the first push and press assembly 212 or the second push and press assembly 222 to roll and press the abdominal wall of the human body from top to bottom or from bottom to top.

[0038] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 24 includes a vertical lifting mechanism and a horizontal telescopic mechanism. The vertical lifting mechanism is arranged in the receiving cavity of the shell 23 and is in transmission connection with the corresponding first push and press assembly 212 or the second push and press assembly 222, and is used to drive the first push and press assembly 212 or the second push and press assembly 222 to reciprocatingly lift along the vertical direction of the shell 23.

[0039] One end of the horizontal telescopic mechanism is fixedly connected with the vertical lifting mechanism to move up and down with it; the other end of the horizontal telescopic mechanism is connected with the corresponding first push and press assembly 212 or the second push and press assembly 222, and is used to drive the first push and press assembly 212 or the second push and press assembly 222 to extend or retract in the horizontal direction to the shell 23, so as to approach or move away from the abdominal wall of the human body.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the vertical lifting mechanism can include a stroke rack 241, a guide rod 242, a lifting bottom shell 243, a lifting motor 244 and a gear set 245.

[0041] Two guide rods 242 are arranged in parallel on the inner walls of the shell 23, and the lifting bottom shell 243 is slidingly connected to the guide rods 242 and can move up and down along the guide rods 242. The stroke rack 241 is fixedly installed in the accommodating cavity of the shell 23 and arranged in the vertical direction of the shell 23. The lifting bottom shell 243 is internally fixedly provided with a lifting motor 244 and a gear set 245 drivingly connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 244, and the gear set 245 is engaged with the stroke rack 241 in the shell 23. When the lifting motor 244 is activated, the output torque of the lifting motor 244 is transmitted to the stroke rack 241 through the gear set 245, so that the lifting bottom shell 243 along with the first push assembly 212 or the second push assembly 222 mounted thereon moves up and down along the extension direction of the stroke rack 241.

[0042] The lateral telescopic mechanism can include a telescopic motor (not shown in the figure), a screw rod transmission assembly (not shown in the figure), and a fixed plate 246. The push assembly can be arranged on the front side wall of the fixed plate 246, the telescopic motor can be arranged on the rear side wall of the fixed plate 246, and the telescopic motor is connected to the lifting bottom shell 243 through the screw rod transmission assembly. When the telescopic motor drives the screw rod transmission assembly to rotate, it can drive the fixed plate 246 to move away from or close to the lifting bottom shell 243, and thus the first or second push assembly 222 can move close to or away from the human abdomen, so as to realize the pressing or releasing of the abdomen.

[0043] Through the cooperation of the vertical lifting mechanism and the lateral telescopic mechanism, the first push assembly 212 and the second push assembly 222 can not only realize continuous reciprocating push in the vertical direction, but also can be positionally adjusted and fitted in the lateral direction, so that the first push assembly 212 or the second push assembly 222 can push the abdomen in the same direction during movement.

[0044] Of course, in other embodiments, the specific transmission structure of the vertical lifting mechanism and the lateral telescopic mechanism can also be a motor cooperating with a multi-link mechanism, or a hydraulic telescopic rod to realize the up-down movement and front-back lateral movement of the first push assembly 212 and the second push assembly 222.

[0045] In some embodiments, the abdomen massager 100 further includes a distance detector (not shown in the figure). The distance detector is arranged in the shell 23 and is used to detect the distance between the first push assembly 212 or the second push assembly 222 and the human abdominal wall, so as to adjust the stroke of the lateral telescopic mechanism.

[0046] Specifically, a distance detector can be arranged on the fixed plate 246 to detect the distance between the massage head of the push-and-press assembly and the abdominal wall of the human body in real time. The distance detector can be in the form of an infrared distance sensor, an ultrasonic distance sensor, or a capacitive fitting detection sensor, and the output signal thereof is electrically connected to the controller, so that the controller can control the telescopic motor according to the signal.

[0047] During the massage process, as the vertical lifting mechanism drives the push-and-press assembly to reciprocate up and down, the distance detector synchronously monitors the distance change between the push-and-press assembly and the abdominal wall. The controller controls the lateral telescopic mechanism to perform a small-amplitude real-time compensation action through the built-in dynamic adjustment algorithm of the device, so that the push-and-press assembly always fits the abdominal wall of the human body with stable and appropriate predetermined pressure, to avoid the phenomenon of excessive or insufficient massage force or dislocation caused by the difference in abdominal curve of the user, breathing movement, etc. Even among users with different body shapes or large differences in abdominal fat thickness, the lateral telescopic mechanism can automatically adapt the massage position and force without frequent manual adjustment.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the abdominal massager 100 further comprises a waistband 30. The rotating massage unit 10, the first moving massage unit 21, and the second moving massage unit 22 are mounted on the waistband 30. The two ends of the waistband 30 are provided with detachable buckles 31 for fixing the waistband 30 to the waist of the human body, so that the rotating massage unit 10 corresponds to the navel area, the first moving massage unit 21 corresponds to the ascending colon 201 area of the human body, and the second moving massage unit 22 corresponds to the descending colon 203 area of the human body.

[0049] Specifically, the waistband 30 can be made of elastic fabric or composite material, has good fitting and supporting properties, and is provided at both ends with detachable buckles 31. The buckles 31 can adopt a plug-in buckle structure or a magnetic attraction structure, and the user can adjust them according to the waist circumference to firmly fix the abdominal massager 100 to the abdominal position of the human body.

[0050] When the waistband 30 is tightened around the waist, the mounting position of the rotating massage unit 10 is directly opposite the navel area of the human body, the first moving massage unit 21 is located on the right side of the abdominal part of the human body, i.e., corresponds to the ascending colon 201 area, and the second moving massage unit 22 is located on the left side of the abdominal part of the human body, corresponding to the descending colon 203 position.

[0051] As Figures 7 to 9 shown, in the human digestive system, after food is absorbed into the small intestine from the stomach, it moves upward from the ascending colon 201, then turns to the transverse colon 202, and then moves downward along the descending colon 203 to the rectum for excretion. Therefore, the running direction of food residues in the ascending colon 201 area is usually from bottom to top, while the descending colon 203 area has a downward pushing path from top to bottom.

[0052] The abdomen massage instrument 100 of the embodiment can perform rotating massage around the navel position, the first pushing assembly 212 can push and roll corresponding to the ascending colon 201 area of the human body, and the second pushing assembly 222 can push and roll corresponding to the descending colon 203 area of the human body, which helps to promote intestinal peristalsis, improve the passing property of the contents, and relieve constipation and other intestinal function imbalance problems. At the same time, the rotating massage unit 10 performs flexible rotating massage around the navel area, realizes simulated artificial "ring abdominal massage" operation, and cooperates with the longitudinal pushing of the moving massage unit 20 on both sides to strengthen the local blood circulation of the intestinal wall.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 8 to 10 Based on the above abdomen massage, the embodiment further provides an abdomen massage method, and the abdomen massage method comprises the following steps. S310, a plurality of massage modes are pre-stored, and the massage mode is set by the rotating direction of the abdominal massage member 12 and the pushing direction of the first pushing assembly 212 and the second pushing assembly 222.

[0054] S320, according to different massage purposes, a corresponding target massage mode is selected.

[0055] S330, the abdominal massage member 12 is controlled to perform rotating massage around the navel center in the preset rotating direction in the target massage mode.

[0056] S340, the first pushing assembly 212 and the second pushing assembly 222 are controlled to reciprocate along the vertical direction in the preset pushing direction in the target massage mode, so as to implement upward or downward pushing and rolling action on the abdominal wall.

[0057] Specifically, the user selects the corresponding target massage mode according to different massage needs, such as promoting defecation, relieving abdominal distension, enhancing intestinal activity, or improving diarrhea, etc. At this time, the abdominal massage member 12 in the abdomen massage instrument 100 is controlled to perform circumferential massage around the navel center according to the rotating direction in the corresponding mode, so as to form a ring pressing effect similar to artificial abdominal massage in the transverse colon 202 area near the navel, which helps to strengthen the middle intestinal peristalsis. At the same time, the first pushing assembly 212 and the second pushing assembly 222 reciprocate along the vertical direction of the abdominal wall. The rhythm of the two pushing assemblies can be coordinated with the rotating rhythm of the abdominal massage member 12, so that the transverse massage and the longitudinal pushing form a continuous guiding force, cover different segments of the intestinal tract, realize the whole pushing massage path from the ascending colon 201, through the transverse colon 202 to the descending colon 203.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 7In some embodiments, the abdominal massager 100 pre-stores a first massage mode; when the first massage mode is selected as the target massage mode, the controller controls the navel kneading massage piece 12 to rotate clockwise around the navel center; the controller controls the first pushing assembly 212 to push upward from bottom to top in the ascending colon 201 area; and the controller controls the second pushing assembly 222 to push downward from top to bottom in the descending colon 203 area.

[0059] Specifically, the first massage mode pre-stored by the abdominal massager 100 can be used to solve the constipation problem caused by the stagnation of intestinal contents. When the user selects the first massage mode as the target massage mode, the controller first drives the navel kneading massage piece 12 to rotate clockwise around the navel center. The clockwise direction is consistent with the natural direction of the colon, which can form a continuous pushing force on the transverse colon 202 area, simulating the artificial “clockwise navel kneading” to promote the intestinal peristalsis.

[0060] At the same time, the vertical lifting mechanism in the first moving massage unit 21 drives the first pushing assembly 212 to move vertically from bottom to top at a set rhythm, so that the first pushing assembly 212 performs upward rolling and pressing on the ascending colon 201 area in the state of pushing against the abdominal wall. When the vertical lifting mechanism drives the first pushing assembly 212 to return, the horizontal telescopic mechanism drives the first pushing assembly 212 to retract into the shell 23, so that the first pushing assembly 212 moves away from the abdomen, and the movement mode of the first pushing assembly 212 is consistent with the physiological direction of the ascending colon 201 transporting chyme from the cecum to the transverse colon 202.

[0061] At the same time, the vertical lifting mechanism in the second moving massage unit 22 drives the second pushing assembly 222 to move vertically from top to bottom, and the horizontal telescopic mechanism synchronously cooperates with the second pushing assembly 222 to tightly adhere to the abdominal wall and perform downward rolling and pressing massage on the descending colon 203 area. In order to further guide the contents of the transverse colon 202 to move into the descending colon 203 and move in the direction of the rectum, forming a continuous advancing path.

[0062] Through the above-mentioned multi-point joint advancement, the circumferential rolling of the navel kneading massage piece 12 and the longitudinal rolling of the two pushing assemblies are kept in cooperation in timing and advancing direction, so that the ascending colon 201, the transverse colon 202 and the descending colon 203 area form a complete “C” type advancing massage path from right to left. The path completely conforms to the natural peristalsis direction of the intestinal contents, which helps to enhance the contraction ability of the intestinal muscle layer, clear the intestinal cavity retention material step by step, and accelerate the transportation of feces to the anus direction. By the combined action of mechanical rhythmic pushing and clockwise navel kneading, the constipation caused by the stagnation of intestinal contents can be significantly improved, the defecation is promoted, and the problems of abdominal distension, induration and defecation difficulty are effectively solved.

[0063] In some other examples, the transverse extension mechanism can not be provided in the abdominal massaging device 100. In this case, the first pushing assembly 212 moves up and down according to a preset lifting speed rule in the first mode. That is, when the first pushing assembly 212 moves up from the lower end starting position to the maximum stroke position, it moves in the vertical direction at a first walking speed; then in the return process, it moves down from the top to the bottom at a second walking speed lower than the first walking speed. The first walking speed is much greater than the second walking speed, so that the pushing stage from bottom to top applies a greater pushing force, while the contact pressure in the return stage from top to bottom is significantly reduced, thereby avoiding unnecessary reverse high pressure pushing on the ascending colon 201 due to the too fast return speed when the device does not have a transverse extension mechanism, ensuring the directionality and comfort of the massage, especially suitable for the physiological needs of constipated users to push the ascending colon 201 region in the forward direction.

[0064] For example, in the first mode, the first pushing assembly 212 performs 12 cycles of reciprocating movement, each cycle taking 5s in total, of which the pushing stage from bottom to top takes 1s, moving at a faster speed to achieve effective forward extrusion; and the return stage from top to bottom takes 4s, moving at a slower speed to minimize the extrusion force on the abdominal tissue during the return process, avoiding reverse compression on the ascending colon 201. Through the above differential speed reciprocating control strategy, safe, directional and physiologically matched abdominal pushing effect can still be achieved without automatic retraction of the shell.

[0065] Similarly, the second pushing assembly 222 can also move in this way in the first mode, so that the speed from top to bottom is much greater than the speed during the return.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 9 In some embodiments, the abdominal massaging device 100 also pre-stores a second massage mode, when the second massage mode is selected as the target mode, the controller controls the abdominal massaging member 12 to rotate counterclockwise around the navel center; controls the first pushing assembly 212 to push the ascending colon 201 region from top to bottom; and controls the second pushing assembly 222 to push the descending colon 203 region from bottom to top.

[0067] Specifically, when the user selects the second massage mode as the target massage mode, the controller drives the abdominal massaging member 12 to rotate counterclockwise around the navel center, so as to form a light and reverse rolling pressure on the transverse colon 202 region opposite to the natural forward direction of food, thereby slowing down the intestinal propulsion speed and stabilizing the intestinal rhythm.

[0068] While performing the counterclockwise abdominal massage, the vertical lifting mechanism in the first moving massage unit 21 drives the first pushing component 212 to move vertically from top to bottom, and the horizontal telescopic mechanism continuously adjusts the pushing depth of the first pushing component 212 relative to the abdominal wall, so that it applies a flexible downward rolling pressure to the ascending colon 201 area, suppresses the upward pushing force of the ascending colon 201 segment, and reduces the speed at which intestinal contents are transported to the transverse colon 202.

[0069] Simultaneously, the vertical lifting mechanism within the second movable massage unit 22 drives the second pushing component 222 to reciprocate vertically from bottom to top. Its lateral telescopic mechanism gradually brings the second pushing component 222 into contact with the abdominal wall, causing the massage force to push the intestinal contents within the descending colon 203 upwards. This action slowly counteracts the downward flow of contents in the descending colon 203, preventing the intestinal contents from rapidly entering the rectum, thereby reducing the frequent urge to defecate during diarrhea.

[0070] During the coordinated operation of the aforementioned two-sided pushing and pressing components and the abdominal massage component 12, the massage path forms a reverse "C"-shaped converging dynamic structure from the lower left to the lower right. By applying rhythmic massage in the opposite peristaltic direction to the ascending colon 201, transverse colon 202, and descending colon 203, the intestinal propulsion speed can be effectively reduced, the coordination of the intestinal wall and the sphincter control ability can be enhanced, and the intestinal contents can be kept in the intestine for a longer period of time to fully absorb water, thereby fundamentally relieving the abdominal pain, urgency, and electrolyte loss caused by diarrhea.

[0071] In some other embodiments, i.e., when the abdominal massager 100 is not equipped with a lateral telescopic mechanism, in the second mode, when the first pushing and pressing component 212 moves downward from its starting position located in the upper part of the ascending colon 201, it pushes and presses at a preset high walking speed, so that its top-down working stroke can apply a strong directional squeezing force. When the first pushing and pressing component 212 returns upward after completing the pushing and pressing stroke, it returns from bottom to top at a second walking speed much lower than the pushing and pressing phase. The lower return speed can significantly reduce the squeezing force during the return stroke, avoiding reverse pressure on the ascending colon 201, thereby ensuring that the overall movement in the second mode always maintains unidirectional guidance to the ascending colon 201 area.

[0072] Meanwhile, in the second mode, the movement of the second push component 222 is opposite to that of the first push component 212. That is, when it pushes upwards towards the descending colon 203 region, it adopts a higher walking speed to generate a more obvious upward squeezing force during the push phase, thereby achieving reverse pushing of the contents of the descending colon 203 region. When the second push component 222 returns downwards from the top, it returns at a second walking speed lower than the push speed, thereby avoiding strong downward interference with the peristalsis of the descending colon 203.

[0073] In some embodiments, the movement speed of the abdominal massage component 12, the first push-press component 212, and the second push-press component 222 in the second mode is less than the movement speed in the first mode.

[0074] Specifically, diarrhea is often caused by excessive intestinal peristalsis or excessive intestinal wall contraction. If the massage speed is too fast, it will further stimulate intestinal movement, intensifying the rapid propulsion of contents into the intestines, which is not conducive to relieving diarrhea symptoms. By reducing the kneading speed in the second mode, the excitatory stimulation of the intestinal wall by mechanical external force can be weakened, making the massage movements more focused on the therapeutic goals of stabilizing the rhythm and prolonging the retention time of contents. Therefore, by setting the abdominal massage component 12 and the side pushing and pressing components to run at a low speed in the second mode, a gentle regulation of the movement of intestinal contents is achieved, which avoids excessive stimulation and enhances the stabilizing effect of massage on intestinal rhythm, significantly improving the efficiency of diarrhea symptom relief.

[0075] For example, in the first mode used during constipation, the abdominal massager 12 rotates at high speed clockwise around the center of the navel, with a preset speed range of 10-25 revolutions per minute. This creates a strong mechanical squeezing and pushing force, which helps simulate natural intestinal peristalsis along the ascending colon 201-transverse colon 202-descending colon 203, thereby improving constipation. In the second mode used during diarrhea, the abdominal massager 12 rotates counterclockwise at a significantly lower speed than in the first mode, typically set at 5-20 revolutions per minute. This slower, gentler rotation inhibits the rapid propulsion of food in the intestinal lumen, helping to relieve intestinal wall tension and stabilizing the intestines to stop diarrhea.

[0076] In some other embodiments, the abdominal massager 100 is also provided with a third massage mode, in which the abdominal massage component 12 can rotate alternately in the forward and reverse directions. After rotating 3 to 10 times in the forward or reverse direction each time, the direction is automatically switched, so that the abdomen receives uniform and non-unidirectional kneading stimulation, thereby promoting local blood and lymph circulation, which is suitable for daily health care.

[0077] For example, the third massage mode can be set to five speed levels: 9 rpm, 12 rpm, 15 rpm, 18 rpm, and 21 rpm. Users can choose the appropriate speed based on their tolerance and experience needs at different speed levels.

[0078] It is important to understand that the gear adjustment only applies to the normal third mode, while the first and second treatment modes related to constipation and diarrhea are not affected by the gear. The system runs directly at the preset speed to ensure that the treatment mode for the symptoms will not be compromised by the user's manual adjustment.

[0079] In some other embodiments, the abdominal massager 100 also includes a respiratory rhythm detection device. This device may include a miniature barometric pressure sensor, a skin distance micro-motion sensor, and a wireless transmission module. It connects to wearable devices such as smartwatches to receive the user's breathing frequency in real time. When the user is in a slow, deep breathing state, the system automatically matches the abdominal massage speed to a lower frequency, synchronizing the massage rhythm with the breathing rhythm. When the user breathes slightly faster, the system can also automatically and appropriately increase the rotation speed of the abdominal massage module, making the overall rhythm more natural and physiologically adaptable, thereby alleviating any tension that may occur during the massage and improving the user's relaxation.

[0080] In some embodiments, in the first, second, and third modes, the reciprocating speed of the pushing and pressing component can be synchronized with the speed at which the abdominal massage component 12 makes one revolution. For example, if the abdomen is massaged 12 times per minute, the pushing and pressing component will move up and down 12 times per minute. Synchronized linkage enables the abdominal wall to receive mechanical transmission forces with consistent cycles and coordinated directions, improving the peristalsis simulation effect, enhancing the rhythmic response of the intestines, and helping to improve various conditions such as constipation, bloating, and diarrhea.

[0081] In summary, this application provides an abdominal massage method and an abdominal massager 100. It combines the rotational kneading of the abdominal massager 12 with the vertical pushing motion of the left and right pushing components located in the ascending colon 201 and descending colon 203, forming multiple massage modes suitable for constipation and diarrhea respectively, making the stimulation direction and rhythm controllable. Through the coordinated adjustment of the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the abdominal massager 12 and the up-and-down pushing direction of the pushing components, it promotes or inhibits intestinal peristalsis, achieving precise and effective massage of specific abdominal areas, improving intestinal functional imbalances, and possessing significant clinical application value and promising prospects for promotion.
