Shoulder and neck massage instrument

Abstract

According to the shoulder and neck massage instrument, the air bag of the massage assembly drives the first massage piece and the second massage piece to move at the same time in an inflation expansion mode, and the first massage piece and the second massage piece are suitable for moving along with deflation contraction of the air bag; therefore, the first massage head and the second massage head are close to each other or far away from each other to achieve kneading massage. The time period that the first massage head and the second massage head get close to each other and then get away from each other to complete one-time reciprocating motion is a massage period, and the maximum inflation volumes of the air inflated into the air bag in at least two massage periods are different. Therefore, the minimum distances between the first massage head and the second massage head are different when the first massage head and the second massage head get close to each other in at least two massage periods. Thus, the movement range of the first massage piece and the second massage piece can be adjusted by adjusting the maximum inflation volume of the air bag, the minimum distance between the first massage head and the second massage head can be adjusted so as to adjust the clamping and pinching strength, and the massage manipulation of the shoulder and neck massage instrument can be enriched.

The maximum inflation amount of the air bag is different in at least two massage periods, so that the minimum distance between the first massage head and the second massage head when they move close to each other in at least two massage periods is different. In this way, the maximum inflation amount of the air bag can be adjusted to adjust the movement range of the first massage member and the second massage member, which helps to adjust the minimum distance between the first massage head and the second massage head to adjust the pinching force, helps to enrich the massage methods of the shoulder and neck massage instrument, helps to improve the applicability of the shoulder and neck massage instrument to people who need different pinching forces, and helps to improve the user experience.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1 The shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application includes the massage assembly 11 and the air bag 12. The massage assembly 11 includes the first massage piece 111 with the first massage head 1111 and the second massage piece 112 with the second massage head 1121. The shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 can realize massage through the first massage piece 111 and the second massage piece 112, which helps to meet the massage needs of the user.

[0043] In some embodiments, the air bag 12 drives the first massage piece 111 and the second massage piece 112 to move simultaneously through inflation. The first massage piece 111 and the second massage piece 112 are adapted to move with the deflation of the air bag 12. When the air bag 12 inflates or deflates, the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 move close to or away from each other to realize kneading massage.

[0044] In this way, the air bag 12 can output driving force through inflation to drive the first massage piece 111 and the second massage piece 112 to move. The first massage piece 111 and the second massage piece 112 move with the deflation of the air bag 12. When the air bag 12 inflates or deflates, the first massage piece 111 and the second massage piece 112 can move, and the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 can act on the massage part respectively to realize kneading massage. The first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 can also cooperate to pinch the massage part when they move close to each other to realize human hand-like pinching massage, which helps to improve the user experience. Since the air bag 12 has a certain elasticity, the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 can adaptively rebound when pinching massage is performed, which helps to realize soft massage instead of hard massage.

[0045] In addition, the air bag 12 is light in weight, which helps to reduce the overall weight of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100, so that the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 is more portable and provides better user experience.

[0046] The first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 are adapted to move with the contraction of the air bag 12. For example, the first massage member 111 is connected to the air bag 12 through a connecting structure such as a reset member, an extension rod or the like. When the air bag 12 deflates and contracts, the first massage member 111 can move with the deflation and contraction of the air bag 12 through the connecting structure, thereby driving the second massage member 112 to move.

[0047] For example, the air bag 12 drives the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 to move simultaneously by inflation and expansion, so that the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 approach each other to press the massage part. The first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 move with the deflation and contraction of the air bag 12 through the connecting structure, so that the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 move away from each other to release the massage part. In this way, the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 approach or move away from each other to achieve kneading massage.

[0048] For example, the air bag 12 drives the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 to move simultaneously by inflation and expansion, so that the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 approach each other to press the massage part. The first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 move with the deflation and contraction of the air bag 12 through the connecting structure, so that the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 move away from each other to release the massage part. In this way, the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 approach or move away from each other to achieve kneading massage.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 can include a transmission member 13 connected between the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112. The first massage member 111 is adapted to rotate reciprocatingly around a first shaft 14, and the transmission member 13 rotates reciprocatingly around a second shaft 15 in the same direction as the rotation direction of the first massage member 111 under the driving of the first massage member 111, and the second massage member 112 reciprocatingly swings under the driving of the transmission member 13.

[0050] In this way, the first massage member 111 can drive the second massage member 112 to move through the transmission member 13 when the first massage member 111 moves, so as to realize the linkage of the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112. The first massage member 111 can realize reciprocating rotation within the deformation stroke range of the air bag 12, and further drive the second massage member 112 to reciprocate around the second shaft 15 through the transmission of the transmission member 13, so as to realize the reciprocating imitation hand pinching massage of the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112.

[0051] In addition, the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 does not need to be provided with an additional driving mechanism to drive the second massage member 112 to move, which helps to reduce the structural complexity and weight of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100, helps to reduce the difficulty of movement cooperation of the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112, also helps to reduce the manufacturing cost of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100, and is convenient for manufacturing.

[0052] In some embodiments, the transmission member 13 can be an eccentric wheel, so that when the air bag 12 drives the first massage member 111 to move, the first massage member 111 can drive the second massage member 112 to swing through the eccentric wheel, so that the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 can approach or move away from each other, so as to realize the reciprocating movement of the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112, and realize the imitation hand pinching massage of the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112.

[0053] In some embodiments, the time period of the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 approaching and moving away from each other to complete one reciprocating motion is a massage period, and the maximum inflation amount of the air bag 12 is different at least in two massage periods, so that the minimum distance between the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 when they approach each other is different at least in two massage periods.

[0054] In this way, the maximum inflation amount of the air bag 12 can be adjusted to adjust the activity range of the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112, which helps to adjust the minimum distance between the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 to adjust the pinching force, helps to enrich the massage methods of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100, helps to improve the applicability of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 to be suitable for people who need different pinching forces, and also helps to improve the user experience.

[0055] In some embodiments, a plurality of sequentially performed massage periods constitute a massage method. For example, two, three, four, five, six, seven or other number of massage periods sequentially performed constitute a massage method, which can be set according to actual conditions.

[0056] In one massage method, the air bag 12 is inflated to different maximum inflation amounts in at least two massage cycles, and the minimum distance between the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 can be adjusted by causing the air bag 12 to be in different maximum inflation amounts.

[0057] In this way, in one massage method, there are at least two different minimum distances between the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121, so that the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 can have different pinch distances to form different pinch intensities, thereby helping to achieve different degrees of massage on the massage part.

[0058] For example, the air bag 12 can be inflated to different maximum inflation amounts in two, three, four, five, six, seven, or other number of massage cycles, which can be set according to actual conditions. In this way, there are multiple different minimum distances between the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121, so that the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 can have different pinch distances to better form different pinch intensities, thereby helping to achieve different degrees of massage on the massage part.

[0059] In some embodiments, in one massage method, two massage cycles are defined as a first massage cycle and a second massage cycle, the first massage cycle is performed before the second massage cycle, and the air bag 12 is inflated to a maximum inflation amount in the first massage cycle that is less than the maximum inflation amount in the second massage cycle.

[0060] In this way, in one massage method, the pinch intensity of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 in the first massage cycle is smaller, which helps to reduce the massage intensity of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 on the user in the first massage cycle, so that the user can have an adaptation stage in the early massage. The pinch intensity of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 in the second massage cycle is greater than the pinch intensity of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 in the first massage cycle, so that the pinch intensity in the second massage cycle is greater, which helps to ensure that the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 has a greater massage intensity on the user in the second massage cycle, thereby helping to ensure the massage effect of the user in the later massage. In this way, the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 can transition from the smaller massage intensity of the first massage cycle to the larger massage intensity of the second massage cycle, so that the entire massage process of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 is not too harsh, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0061] In some embodiments, in one massage method, as a plurality of massage cycles are sequentially performed, the maximum inflation amount of the air bag 12 inflated by the gas in the plurality of massage cycles gradually increases.

[0062] Therefore, in a massage method, the pinching force of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 can gradually increase, so that the whole massage process of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 is gradual, thereby effectively relaxing the massage part and also helping to better improve the user experience.

[0063] Exemplarily, the three massage cycles performed in sequence constitute a massage method, and the three massage cycles are defined as a first massage cycle, a second massage cycle, and a third massage cycle. The first massage cycle is performed before the second massage cycle, and the second massage cycle is performed before the third massage cycle. In a massage method, as the first massage cycle, the second massage cycle, and the third massage cycle are performed in sequence, the maximum inflation amount of the air bag 12 filled with gas in the first massage cycle, the second massage cycle, and the third massage cycle gradually increases.

[0064] Therefore, in a massage method, the pinching force of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 can gradually increase from the first massage cycle to the second massage cycle, and the pinching force of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 can gradually increase from the second massage cycle to the third massage cycle, so that the whole massage process of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 is gradual, thereby better improving the user experience.

[0065] In some embodiments, in a massage method, there is a maximum inflation amount in the maximum inflation amount of the air bag 12 filled with gas in a plurality of massage cycles. The shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 has a plurality of massage methods, and the maximum inflation amount of the air bag 12 in at least two massage methods is different.

[0066] Therefore, in a massage method, the air bag 12 has a maximum pinching force corresponding to the massage method when the inflation amount is the maximum, and by making the maximum pinching force of at least two massage methods in a plurality of massage methods different, it is helpful to better enrich the massage methods of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100, so that the user can select a massage method suitable for his own needs according to his own stress or fatigue, thereby better meeting the user's use requirements.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 can include an air pump 19 connected with the air bag 12, adapted to fill the air bag 12 with gas.

[0068] Therefore, the air pump 19 can inflate the air bag 12, so that the air bag 12 can be inflated or deflated by the air pump 19, thereby helping to ensure the normal work of the air bag 12.

[0069] The air pump 19 can be configured to have at least two different maximum air inflating amounts for inflating the air bag 12, so that the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 have at least two different minimum distances when approaching each other.

[0070] In this way, the maximum air inflating amount of the air bag 12 can be adjusted by the air pump 19, so that the movement range of the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 is adjusted, and the minimum distance between the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 is adjusted, so as to adjust the kneading force. In this way, the shoulder and neck massager 100 can provide a variety of massage methods, and has strong adaptability to people with different needs of kneading force, so as to improve the user experience.

[0071] In some embodiments, the shoulder and neck massager 100 can include a controller 20 connected with the air pump 19, and the controller 20 is configured to receive user instructions to control the air pump 19 to inflate the air bag 12 with a set amount of gas.

[0072] In this way, the adjustability of the shoulder and neck massager 100 is improved, and the user can control the air pump 19 to inflate the air bag 12 with a certain amount of gas according to the user's needs, such as the user's stress or fatigue, so as to adjust the state of the air bag 12 to adjust the distance between the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 to adjust the kneading force, so as to better massage the massage part and better meet the user's needs.

[0073] For example, when the user needs the shoulder and neck massager 100 to provide a larger kneading force, the user can control the air pump 19 to inflate the air bag 12 with a larger amount of gas within the air inflating range of the air bag 12 through the controller 20, so as to adjust the state of the air bag 12 to reduce the distance between the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 to increase the kneading force, so as to meet the user's needs. For another example, when the user needs the shoulder and neck massager 100 to provide a smaller kneading force, the user can control the air pump 19 to inflate the air bag 12 with a smaller amount of gas within the air inflating range of the air bag 12 through the controller 20, so as to adjust the state of the air bag 12 to increase the distance between the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 to reduce the kneading force, so as to meet the user's needs.

[0074] In some embodiments, the controller 20 is configured to control the air pump 19 to inflate the air bag 12 with a set amount of gas based on the muscle fatigue degree.

[0075] In this way, the controller 20 can adjust the pinching force of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 according to the muscle fatigue degree of the human body, so that the pinching force of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 can be adapted to the corresponding muscle fatigue degree of the user, thereby selectively massaging the user and making the whole massage process more personalized.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the air bag 12 has a non-inflated state in which the internal gas is completely released and an inflated state in which the internal inflation amount reaches the maximum, and when the air bag 12 changes from the non-inflated state to the inflated state, the angle a1 through which the first massage member 111 rotates around the first shaft 14 is 0 < a1 ≤ 80°. In this way, the first massage member 111 can reciprocate within a certain angle range, which helps to ensure that the first massage member 111 can rotate around the first shaft 14 by an appropriate angle, thereby helping to ensure that the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 have an appropriate spacing to have an appropriate pinching force.

[0077] For example, the angle a1 through which the first massage member 111 rotates around the first shaft 14 can be 1°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80° or any angle greater than 0° and less than or equal to 80°, which can be set according to actual conditions.

[0078] In this way, the first massage member 111 can reciprocate around the first shaft 14 by an appropriate angle, which helps to reduce the case that the angle a1 through which the first massage member 111 rotates around the first shaft 14 is too large, thereby helping to reduce the case that the spacing between the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 is too small, resulting in too large pinching force.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the air bag 12 changes from the non-inflated state to the inflated state, the angle a2 through which the transmission member 13 rotates around the second shaft 15 under the driving of the first massage member 111 is 0 < a2 ≤ 360°, and the transmission member 13 drives the second massage member 112 to swing at least from the position where the second massage head 1121 is farthest away from the first massage head 1111 to the position where the second massage head 1121 is closest to the first massage head 1111.

[0080] Therefore, the transmission member 13 can be driven by the first massage member 111 to rotate reciprocatingly around the second shaft 15 through an angle less than or equal to 360°, so that the transmission member 13 can rotate reciprocatingly through an angle less than or equal to one full circle, and thus the rotation of the transmission member 13 can be converted into a large-amplitude swing of the second massage member 112. The transmission member 13 drives the second massage member 112 to swing from a position where the second massage head 1121 is farthest away from the first massage head 1111 to a position where the second massage head 1121 is closest to the first massage head 1111, so that the second massage head 1121 can complete at least one kneading action, thereby helping to ensure the kneading massage of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100.

[0081] For example, the angle a2 through which the transmission member 13 is driven by the first massage member 111 to rotate around the second shaft 15 can be 50°, 90°, 120°, 160°, 200°, 250°, 300°, 360°, or any angle greater than 0° and less than or equal to 360°, which can be set according to actual conditions.

[0082] In this way, the transmission member 13 can be driven by the first massage member 111 to rotate through a large angle, so that the air bag 12 can be inflated at a certain inflation speed, and the transmission member 13 can be driven to rotate through a large angle in a small stroke, thereby achieving a large-amplitude swing of the second massage member 112, and thus achieving the kneading massage of the second massage member 112 and the first massage member 111 on the human body.

[0083] In some embodiments, when the air bag 12 is changed from the un-inflated state to the inflated state, the angle through which the first massage member 111 rotates around the first shaft 14 is a1, and the angle through which the transmission member 13 is driven by the first massage member 111 to rotate around the second shaft 15 is a2, and a1 < a2.

[0084] In this way, the first massage member 111 can rotate through a small angle, and the transmission member 13 can be driven to rotate through a large angle, thereby helping to reduce the inflation stroke of the air bag 12.

[0085] For example, the angle a1 through which the first massage member 111 rotates around the first shaft 14 can be 1°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 30°, 45°, 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, or any angle greater than 0° and less than or equal to 80°, and the angle a2 through which the transmission member 13 is driven by the first massage member 111 to rotate around the second shaft 15 can be any angle greater than a1 and less than or equal to 360°, which can be set according to actual conditions.

[0086] In this way, the first massage member 111 and the transmission member 13 can rotate through appropriate angles, respectively, thereby helping to ensure that the first massage member 111 rotates through a small angle and the transmission member 13 rotates through a large angle, and thus helping to reduce the inflation stroke of the air bag 12. In this way, the first massage member 111 and the transmission member 13 can rotate through appropriate angles, respectively, thereby helping to ensure that the first massage member 111 rotates through a small angle and the transmission member 13 rotates through a large angle, and thus helping to reduce the inflation stroke of the air bag 12.

[0087] In some embodiments, the first shaft 14 coincides with or is parallel to the second shaft 15. In this way, it helps to achieve smooth transmission of the acting force between the first massage member 111 and the transmission member 13, helps to improve the smoothness of rotation between the first massage member 111 and the transmission member 13, and helps to reduce the occurrence of rotation deflection of the first massage member 111.

[0088] Please refer to Figures 4 to 7 In some embodiments, the shoulder and neck massage device 100 can include a gear set 16, and the first massage member 111 drives the transmission member 13 to rotate through the gear set 16. The gear set 16 includes a first gear 161 and a second gear 162, the diameter of the second gear 162 is smaller than that of the first gear 161, and the second gear 162 is directly or indirectly engaged with the first gear 161, the first gear 161 is connected to the first massage member 111, and the second gear 162 is connected to the transmission member 13.

[0089] In this way, the gear set 16 helps to cooperate with the transmission member 13 to achieve the transmission of the driving force from the first massage member 111 to the second massage member 112, thereby helping to improve the transmission efficiency of the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112. The gear set 16 also helps to meet the setting needs of the relative position change of the first shaft 14 and the second shaft 15 in space, and also helps to provide the required transmission ratio to meet the design needs of the rotation angle between the first massage member 111 and the transmission member 13.

[0090] In some embodiments, the transmission ratio of the gear set 16 is i, i>1. In this way, by making the transmission ratio greater than 1, when the first massage member 111 rotates a smaller angle, the transmission member 13 can be driven by the gear set 16 to rotate a larger angle, which helps to reduce the inflation stroke of the air bag 12.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first gear 161 takes the first shaft 14 as the rotation center axis, the second gear 162 takes the second shaft 15 as the rotation center axis, the sawtooth of the first gear 161 is arranged around the second shaft 15, and is engaged with the second gear 162 on the side of the second shaft 15 away from the first shaft 14.

[0092] In this way, when the first massage member 111 rotates around the first shaft 14, the first massage member 111 can take the first shaft 14 as the fulcrum and more powerfully drive the transmission member 13 to rotate around the second shaft 15 through the second gear 162, which helps to increase the massage intensity of the second massage member 112, thereby helping to improve the massage effect of the second massage member 112 on the massage part.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first massage member 111 is provided with an avoiding through opening 1113, and the second shaft 15 passes through the avoiding through opening 1113. In this way, the first massage member 111 can avoid the second shaft 15 through the avoiding through opening 1113, which helps to reduce the interference of the first massage member 111 with the second shaft 15 in the rotating path, thereby helping to ensure the normal rotation of the first massage member 111, and also helping to improve the compactness of the structure of the first massage member 111 and the second shaft 15, and helping to save the space of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 occupied by the first massage member 111 and the second shaft 15.

[0094] In addition, the avoiding through opening 1113 helps to reduce the weight of the first massage member 111, thereby helping to reduce the weight of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100, so that the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 can be lightened while ensuring the massage work.

[0095] In some embodiments, the groove wall 1112 of the avoiding through opening 1113 is provided with a sawtooth to form a first gear 161, and a second gear 162 is at least partially arranged in the avoiding through opening 1113 to engage with the first gear 161.

[0096] In this way, by matching the first gear 161 with the second gear 162 in the avoiding through opening 1113, it helps to fully utilize the space in the avoiding through opening 1113, and also helps to reduce the occupation of the assembly space in the extension direction of the second shaft 15 when the first gear 161 and the second gear 162 are matched outside the avoiding through opening 1113, so that the overall structure is more compact, and it helps to save the space of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 occupied by the first gear 161 and the second gear 162.

[0097] In some embodiments, the outer wall surface 132 of the transmission member 13 is provided with a mounting groove 131 extending in the direction surrounding the second shaft 15, and the extension direction of the mounting groove 131 defines an extension plane 1311, and the extension plane 1311 is inclined relative to the first shaft 14; the second massage member 112 is sleeved on the transmission member 13 in the mounting groove 131, and the part of the second massage member 112 accommodated in the mounting groove 131 matches the mounting groove 131, and can rotate relative to the transmission member 13 along the extension direction of the mounting groove 131 with the rotation of the transmission member 13 around the second shaft 15.

[0098] In this way, it helps to ensure that the transmission member 13 can drive the second massage member 112 to realize the deflection, thereby helping to ensure the kneading massage of the second massage member 112 on the human body, and also helping to improve the compactness of the structure of the second massage member 112 and the transmission member 13, and helping to save the space of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 occupied by the second massage member 112 and the transmission member 13.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the first shaft 14 and the second shaft 15 is D, and the diameter of the second gear 162 is d, and D≥d.

[0100] In this way, the proper distance between the first shaft 14 and the second shaft 15 is ensured, and the second gear 162 is ensured to have enough space to rotate, thereby ensuring the normal rotation of the second gear 162. It is also possible to select the second gear 162 with a proper increased diameter, so that more teeth can be arranged on the outer periphery of the second gear 162 to adjust the rotation speed of the transmission member 13.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the shoulder and neck massager 100 can include a base 18, and the first massage member 111 is rotatably mounted on the base 18 about the first shaft 14, and the second massage member 112 is slidably connected to the base 18 along the extension direction of the second shaft 15.

[0102] In this way, the shoulder and neck massager 100 can realize the connection of multiple components through the base 18, so that the connection of multiple components of the shoulder and neck massager 100 is more compact, thereby helping to improve the compactness of the structure of the shoulder and neck massager 100.

[0103] In some embodiments, the air bag 12 can have an acting surface 121 acting on the first massage member 111. The shoulder and neck massager 100 can further include a reset member 17 acting on the first massage member 111 and the base 18 to make the first massage member 111 abut against the acting surface 121.

[0104] In this way, during the inflation and expansion of the air bag 12, the reset member 17 can apply a force to the first massage member 111, so that the first massage member 111 can abut against the acting surface 121 of the air bag 12, thereby helping to reduce the deviation of the first massage member 111 from the acting surface 121 of the air bag 12 during rotation, and thereby helping to ensure that the air bag 12 can effectively apply a force to the first massage member 111. During the deflation and contraction of the air bag 12, the reset member 17 can also act on the first massage member 111 to make the first massage member 111 rotate reversely to keep close to the acting surface 121 of the air bag 12, so that the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 can move with the deflation and contraction of the air bag through the reset member 17, and the reset member 17 is also closely matched with the air bag 12, thereby helping to realize the stable reset of the first massage member 111.

[0105] In some embodiments, the reset member 17 is a torsion spring arranged around the first shaft 14. In this way, the torsion spring can generate an elastic force by torsional deformation to apply a force to the first massage member 111, thereby helping to ensure the normal operation of the first massage member 111.

[0106] In addition, the torsional spring has the characteristics of uniform force and stable quality, which helps to better achieve the stable reset of the first massage member 111.

[0107] In some embodiments, the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 has a working state and a non-working state opposite to the working state. In the non-working state, the air bag 12 is in a non-inflated state.

[0108] In this way, before starting the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100, the air bag 12 in the non-inflated state helps to protect the air bag 12 and reduce the situation that the air bag 12 is pressed in the non-working state of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100, thereby helping to reduce the damage of the air bag 12.

[0109] In some embodiments, in the non-working state, a wearing interval suitable for the massage part to enter is formed between the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121.

[0110] In this way, before starting the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100, the wearing interval can be suitable for the human body massage part to enter, which helps to facilitate the wearing of the user, thereby helping to improve the wearing efficiency of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100.

[0111] In summary, the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application, the air bag 12 of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 drives the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 to move through the inflation expansion mode, the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 are suitable for moving with the deflation contraction of the air bag 12, so that when the air bag 12 inflates and expands or deflates and contracts, the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 approach or move away from each other to achieve kneading massage. In this way, the air bag 12 can output driving force through inflation expansion to make the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 can move, the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 are suitable for moving with the deflation contraction of the air bag 12, so that when the air bag 12 inflates and expands or deflates and contracts, the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 can move, so that the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 can act on the massage part respectively to achieve kneading massage. The first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 can also cooperatively pinch the massage part to achieve imitation hand pinching massage when approaching each other, which helps to improve the user's experience. Since the air bag 12 has a certain elasticity, the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 can adaptively rebound when pinching massage, which helps to achieve soft massage instead of hard massage.

[0112] The time period for the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 to approach each other and then to move away from each other to complete one reciprocating motion is a massage period. The maximum inflation amount of the air bag 12 is different in at least two massage periods, so that the minimum distance between the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 when they approach each other in at least two massage periods is different. In this way, by adjusting the maximum inflation amount of the air bag 12, the movement range of the first massage member 111 and the second massage member 112 can be adjusted, which helps to adjust the minimum distance between the first massage head 1111 and the second massage head 1121 to adjust the pinching force, helps to enrich the massage methods of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100, helps to improve the applicability of the shoulder and neck massage instrument 100 to be suitable for people who need different pinching forces, and also helps to improve the user experience.
