Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of massager technology, and more specifically, to a massage structure and massage device. Background Technology
[0002] Suction massage, as a physical massage therapy, has been widely used in the beauty field. To meet the needs of suction massage, negative pressure massage devices are generally used. Its basic principle is to use a negative pressure generator to create negative pressure in the nozzle when it comes into contact with the area to be massaged. The negative pressure is then applied to the skin surface of the massage area on the face through the nozzle, which provides lifting and massage stimulation to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, thereby promoting blood circulation, relieving muscle fatigue, and improving the condition of facial skin.
[0003] Currently, most negative pressure massage devices only create negative pressure inside the nozzle, so they can only provide lifting massage stimulation, resulting in a limited range of massage effects. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This application provides a massage structure and massage device that can provide a variety of massage methods to enrich the user experience.
[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a massage structure, including a negative pressure generating component, a first chamber, and an air path control component. The negative pressure generating component has an air inlet and an air outlet. The first chamber has at least one first opening that contacts the area to be massaged. The air path control component is connected to the air inlet, the air outlet, and the first chamber, respectively. The air path control component controls the opening and closing of the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component to form an air intake passage between the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component. The negative pressure generating component generates negative pressure through the air intake passage, causing the first opening to perform a first massage action on the area to be massaged. The air path control component controls the opening and closing of the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component. The negative pressure generating component generates positive pressure through the air outlet passage, causing the first opening to perform a second massage action on the area to be massaged.
[0006] In the above technical solution, the combination of the negative pressure generating component and the air path control component enables the massage structure to perform both the first massage action and the second massage action, thereby providing a variety of massage modes compared to existing negative pressure massage devices and enriching the user experience.
[0007] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a massage device, including a first massage structure and a massage structure provided in any one of the embodiments of the first aspect, wherein the first massage structure is connected to the massage structure. Attached Figure Description

The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this application can be combined with other embodiments.
[0041] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "attachment" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components.

[0043] In the embodiments of this application, the same reference numerals denote the same components, and for the sake of brevity, detailed descriptions of the same components are omitted in different embodiments. It should be understood that the thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of this application shown in the accompanying drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of the integrated device, are merely illustrative and should not constitute any limitation on this application.
[0044] Suction massage, as a physical massage therapy, has been widely used in the beauty field. To meet the needs of suction massage, negative pressure massage devices are generally used. Its basic principle is to use a negative pressure generator to create negative pressure in the nozzle when it comes into contact with the area to be massaged. The negative pressure is then applied to the skin surface of the massage area on the face through the nozzle, which provides lifting and massage stimulation to the skin and subcutaneous tissue, thereby promoting blood circulation, relieving muscle fatigue, and improving the condition of facial skin.
[0045] Currently, most negative pressure massage devices only create negative pressure inside the nozzle, so they can only provide lifting massage stimulation, resulting in a limited range of massage effects.
[0046] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the technical problem that negative pressure massage devices can only provide lifting massage stimulation, resulting in a single massage effect, this application provides a massage structure, including a negative pressure generating component, a first chamber, and an air path control component. The negative pressure generating component has an air inlet and an air outlet. The first chamber has at least one first opening that contacts the area to be massaged. The air path control component is connected to the air inlet, the air outlet, and the first chamber, respectively. The air path control component controls the opening and closing of the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component to form an air intake passage between the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component. The negative pressure generating component generates negative pressure through the air intake passage, causing the first opening to perform a first massage action on the area to be massaged. The air path control component also controls the opening and closing of the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component. The negative pressure generating component generates positive pressure through the air outlet passage, causing the first opening to perform a second massage action on the area to be massaged.
[0047] In this massage structure, by setting up an air path control component that is connected to the air inlet and outlet of the negative pressure generating component and the first chamber respectively, the air path control component can form an air intake passage between the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component, and it can also form an air outlet passage between the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component. Thus, when the air path control component forms an air intake passage between the first chamber and the negative pressure generating component, since the air intake passage allows gas to flow between the two components, when the negative pressure generating component performs an inhalation action, it can draw gas from the first chamber through the air inlet to the negative pressure generating component. The negative pressure generator creates a negative pressure at the first opening. Under this negative pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening is sucked up, and the massage structure can perform the first massage action. When the air path control component forms an air outlet passage between the negative pressure generator and the air outlet, the air outlet passage allows gas to flow between the negative pressure generator and the air outlet. When the negative pressure generator performs an exhaust action, it can discharge the gas inside the negative pressure generator through the air outlet passage to the first chamber, causing the first opening to generate positive pressure. Under the action of positive pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening is squeezed, and the massage structure can perform the second massage action.
[0048] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some other embodiments of this application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application (showing the first housing). Embodiments of this application provide a massage structure 100, including a negative pressure generating component 1, a first chamber 2, and an air path control component 3. The negative pressure generating component 1 has an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12. The first chamber 2 has at least one first opening 21 that contacts the area to be massaged. The air path control component 3 is connected to the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12, and the first chamber 2, respectively. The air path control component 3 controls the opening and closing of the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1 to form an air intake passage between them. The negative pressure generating component 1 generates negative pressure through the air intake passage, causing the first opening 21 to perform a first massage action on the area to be massaged. The air path control component 3 also controls the opening and closing of the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1 to form an air outlet passage between them. The negative pressure generating component 1 generates positive pressure through the air outlet passage, causing the first opening 21 to perform a second massage action on the area to be massaged.
[0049] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 3The massage structure 100 may also include a first housing 4, which is used to house the negative pressure generating component 1, the first chamber 2 and the air path control component 3. The first housing 4 can protect the various components that make up the massage structure 100.
[0050] The first housing 4 can be ergonomically designed so that it can be comfortably held in the user's hand without sharp or pointed edges. The first housing 4 can be made of plastic materials, such as PC (polycarbonate) or ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene); the first housing 4 can also be made of flexible materials, such as silicone or liquid silicone.
[0051] The first housing 4 can be designed to be waterproof or splash-proof, for example, with a protection rating of IP24.
[0052] Part or all of the first housing 4 may be covered with silicone resin that has tactile properties.
[0053] The first housing 4 may have a protruding extension 41; the end of the extension 41 away from the first housing 4 is provided with a second opening 42 for contacting the area to be massaged; the first opening 21 of the first chamber 2 may be located inside the second opening 42 of the extension 41, so that the first opening 21 can communicate with the outside of the first housing 4 through the second opening 42, and the second opening 42 protrudes from the first opening 21 along the protruding direction of the extension 41.
[0054] Because the first shell 4, made of a flexible material, is relatively soft, the second opening 42 has the ability to deform. This deformation increases the contact area between the massage structure 100 and the skin of the area to be massaged, ensuring more concentrated negative pressure, reducing ineffective air leakage, and improving the massage effect. Simultaneously, since the second opening 42 protrudes from the first opening 21, a stepped structure of contact followed by adhesion can be formed. That is, the second opening 42 first disperses pressure through large-area contact, avoiding the localized stinging sensation caused by direct adhesion from the first opening 21. At the same time, the deformation of the extension 41 can absorb the impact of pressure, making it suitable for areas with weak muscles, thereby increasing the usability of the massage structure 100.
[0055] The negative pressure generating component 1 can be a miniature electric air pump, which draws air from the sealed cavity to form a continuous and stable adjustable negative pressure environment, avoiding discomfort caused by pressure fluctuations. The miniature electric air pump has a fast response speed and small size, making it suitable for use with small massagers. The miniature electric air pump has good control compatibility, supports PWM speed regulation or voltage regulation, and can be programmed to achieve pulse, gradual and other modes (such as alternating cycles of inhalation and dehalation modes).
[0056] Negative pressure generating component 1 can also be an electromagnetically driven negative pressure unit, which uses an electromagnetic coil to drive a sliding magnetic block to reciprocate within the cylinder, thereby generating negative pressure by changing the volume of the cavity through displacement.
[0057] The negative pressure generating component 1 can also adopt a structure design that integrates a micro electric air pump and a solenoid valve. For example, a piston-type solenoid valve can be used as the basic structure, and the negative pressure generating chamber can be directly integrated into the valve body. The assembly effect of the massage structure 100 can be optimized through the integrated design of the negative pressure generating component 1.
[0058] Spiral grooves may be provided on the inner wall of the first chamber 2. Figure 1 (Not shown in the image), along the gas flow direction, spiral grooves ( Figure 1 (Not shown in the image) can extend from one end of the first chamber 2 to the other end of the first chamber 2 on the inner wall of the first chamber 2, by setting a spiral groove ( Figure 1 (Not shown in the image) can cause the airflow flowing in the first chamber 2 to rotate, and the rotating airflow can generate turbulence on the skin of the area to be massaged, thereby enhancing the massage effect.
[0059] There can be one or more first openings 21. In embodiments where there are multiple first openings 21, the multiple first openings 21 are evenly distributed on the side of the first chamber 2 facing the area to be massaged. By setting multiple first openings 21, the gas flow generated by the negative pressure generating component 1 can be distributed to multiple areas, and multiple massage actions can be generated at the same time, thereby improving the massage effect.
[0060] The air intake passage can be a channel through which gas flows from the first chamber 2, the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12 to the outside of the massage structure 100.
[0061] The air outlet can be a channel through which gas flows along the outside of the massage structure 100, the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12 to the first chamber 2.
[0062] In this embodiment, by setting the gas path control component 3 to be connected to the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12, and the first chamber 2 of the negative pressure generating component 1 respectively, the gas path control component 3 can form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, and the gas path control component 3 can also form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. Thus, when the gas path control component 3 forms an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, since the air intake passage allows gas to flow between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs its suction action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can draw the gas in the first chamber 2 from the air inlet 11 into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air intake passage, making the first opening 2... When a negative pressure is generated, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is sucked up, and the massage structure 100 can realize the first massage action (e.g., lifting massage). When the air path control component 3 forms an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, since the air outlet passage allows gas to flow between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs the exhaust action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can discharge the gas in the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air outlet 12 to the first chamber 2 through the air outlet passage, so that the first opening 21 generates positive pressure. Under the action of positive pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is squeezed, and the massage structure 100 can realize the second massage action (e.g., patting massage).
[0063] In summary, the combination of the negative pressure generating component 1 and the air path control component 3 enables the massage structure 100 to perform both the first and second massage actions, thus providing a variety of massage modes compared to existing negative pressure massage devices and enriching the user experience.
[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1The air path control component 3 includes a first three-way solenoid valve 33 and a second three-way solenoid valve 34. The first three-way solenoid valve 33 has a first air port 331, a second air port 332, and a third air port 333. The second three-way solenoid valve 34 has a fourth air port 341, a fifth air port 342, and a sixth air port 343. The first air port 331 is connected to the air outlet 12, the second air port 332 is connected to the outside of the massage structure 100, the third air port 333 is connected to the first chamber 2, the fourth air port 341 is connected to the air inlet 11, and the fifth air port 342 is connected to the outside of the massage structure 100. The sixth air port 343 is connected to the first chamber 2; wherein, the first three-way solenoid valve 33 controls the connection between the first air port 331 and the second air port 332 and the second three-way solenoid valve 34 controls the connection between the fourth air port 341 and the sixth air port 343 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1; the first three-way solenoid valve 33 controls the connection between the first air port 331 and the third air port 333 and the second three-way solenoid valve 34 controls the connection between the fourth air port 341 and the fifth air port 342 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1.
[0065] The first air inlet 331 and the air outlet 12 can be connected through the first air passage 31, the second air inlet 332 can be connected to the outside of the massage structure 100 through the first air passage 31, and the third air inlet 333 can be connected to the first chamber 2 through the first air passage 31.
[0066] The first air passage 31 can be a hose or a flexible pipe. In an embodiment where the first air passage 31 is a hose, the two ends of the hose can be detachably connected to the first air port 331 and the air outlet 12, respectively. The detachable connection can be a press-fit or threaded connection.
[0067] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 The first air passage 31 can be formed by the outer wall of the first chamber 2, or by the outer wall of the air outlet 12, or a part of the first air passage 31 can be formed by the outer wall of the first chamber 2 and another part of the first air passage 31 can be formed by the outer wall of the air outlet 12.
[0068] The fourth air inlet 341 can be connected to the air inlet 11 through the second air passage 32, the fifth air inlet 342 can be connected to the outside of the massage structure 100 through the second air passage 32, and the sixth air inlet 343 can be connected to the first chamber 2 through the second air passage 32.
[0069] The second air passage 32 can be a hose or a flexible pipe. In an embodiment where the second air passage 32 is a hose, both ends of the hose can be detachably connected to the fourth air port 341 and the air inlet 11, respectively. The detachable connection can be a press-fit or threaded connection.
[0070] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 The second air passage 32 can be formed by the outer wall of the first chamber 2, or by the outer wall of the air inlet 11, or a part of the second air passage 32 can be formed by the outer wall of the first chamber 2, and the other part of the second air passage 32 can be formed by the outer wall of the air inlet 11.
[0071] In this embodiment, the air path control component 3 includes a first three-way solenoid valve 33 and a second three-way solenoid valve 34. The first air port 331 is connected to the air outlet 12, the second air port 332 is connected to the outside of the massage structure 100, the third air port 333 is connected to the first chamber 2, the fourth air port 341 is connected to the air inlet 11, the fifth air port 342 is connected to the outside of the massage structure 100, and the sixth air port 343 is connected to the first chamber 2. Thus, when the first three-way solenoid valve 33 controls the first air port 331 and the second air port 342... When the second three-way solenoid valve 34 controls the fourth air port 341 and the sixth air port 343 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, since the air intake passage allows gas to flow along the first chamber 2, air inlet 11, air outlet 12 to the outside of the massage structure 100, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs an inhalation action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can draw the gas in the first chamber 2 from the air inlet 11 into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air intake passage, and discharge it from the air outlet 12 to the massage structure 100. Externally, the first opening 21 of the massage structure 100 generates negative pressure. Under this negative pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged, which is in contact with the first opening 21, is sucked up, and the massage structure 100 can perform the first massage action (e.g., lifting massage). When the first three-way solenoid valve 33 controls the first air port 331 and the third air port 333 to connect and the second three-way solenoid valve 34 controls the fourth air port 341 and the fifth air port 342 to connect to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, the air outlet passage allows gas to flow along the gas path. From the outside of the massage structure 100, through the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 towards the first chamber 2, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs the exhaust action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can draw the gas outside the massage structure 100 into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air outlet passage from the air inlet 11 and discharge it into the first chamber 2 through the air outlet 12, so that the first opening 21 generates positive pressure. Under the action of positive pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is squeezed, and the massage structure 100 can realize the second massage action (such as patting massage).
[0072] Simultaneously, the coordinated control of the first three-way solenoid valve 33 and the second three-way solenoid valve 34 enables alternating massage effects of lifting massage, tapping massage, and lifting massage. Specifically, in the first step, the first three-way solenoid valve 33 controls the connection between the first air port 331 and the second air port 332, while the second three-way solenoid valve 34 controls the connection between the fourth air port 341 and the sixth air port 343 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. In the second step, the first three-way solenoid valve 33 controls the connection between the first air port 331 and the third air port 333, while the second three-way solenoid valve 34 controls the connection between the fourth air port 341 and the fifth air port 342 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. By alternating between the above two steps, the air intake passage and the air outlet passage can be alternately formed, thereby achieving alternating massage effects of lifting massage, tapping massage, and lifting massage through the alternating switching of the air intake passage and the air outlet passage. Similarly, by reversing the order of the two steps above and alternating between them, you can also create a massage effect that alternates between tapping massage, lifting massage, tapping massage, and lifting massage.
[0073] Simultaneously, the coordinated control of the first three-way solenoid valve 33 and the second three-way solenoid valve 34 can achieve a deep lifting and releasing massage effect. Specifically, when the first three-way solenoid valve 33 controls the first air port 331 and the second air port 332 to connect, and the second three-way solenoid valve 34 controls the fourth air port 341 and the sixth air port 343 to connect, forming an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1 for a period of time, the first three-way solenoid valve 33 then controls the first air port 331 and the second air port 332 to disconnect, and the second three-way solenoid valve 34 controls the fourth air port 341 and the sixth air port 343 to disconnect. Simultaneously, the first three-way solenoid valve 33 controls the first air port 331 and the third air port 333 to connect, and the second three-way solenoid valve 34 controls the fourth air port 341 and the fifth air port 342 to connect, forming an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. Due to the formation of... The extended time of the air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1 increases the gas flow rate drawn into the first chamber 2 by the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air intake passage. This increases the negative pressure intensity within the first opening 21. Under the influence of greater negative pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is more strongly sucked up, thus enabling the massage structure 100 to achieve a greater intensity of lifting massage (i.e., deep lifting). At this time, the air intake passage is disconnected while the air outlet passage is formed. The negative pressure generating component 1 generates positive pressure in the first opening 21 through the air outlet passage. The positive pressure instantly releases the deeply lifted skin, thereby achieving a deep lifting and release massage effect.
[0074] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application. The air path control component 3 includes a four-way solenoid valve 35, which has a seventh air port 351, an eighth air port 352, a ninth air port 353, and a tenth air port 354. The seventh air port 351 is connected to the air inlet 11, the eighth air port 352 is connected to the outside of the massage structure 100, the ninth air port 353 is connected to the air outlet 12, and the tenth air port 354 is connected to the first chamber 2. The four-way solenoid valve 35 controls the seventh air port 351 to connect with the tenth air port 354 and the eighth air port 352 to connect with the ninth air port 353 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. The four-way solenoid valve 35 controls the seventh air port 351 to connect with the eighth air port 352 and the ninth air port 353 to connect with the tenth air port 354 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1.
[0075] The seventh air inlet 351 is connected to the air inlet 11 via the third air passage 355; the eighth air inlet 352 is connected to the outside of the massage structure 100 via the third air passage 355; the ninth air inlet 353 is connected to the air outlet 12 via the third air passage 355; and the tenth air inlet 354 is connected to the first chamber 2 via the third air passage 355.
[0076] The structure and connection method of the third air passage 355 can be the same as those of the first air passage 31.
[0077] In this embodiment, the air path control component 3 includes a four-way solenoid valve 35. The four-way solenoid valve 35 has a seventh air port 351, an eighth air port 352, a ninth air port 353, and a tenth air port 354. When the four-way solenoid valve 35 controls the seventh air port 351 to connect with the tenth air port 354 and the eighth air port 352 to connect with the ninth air port 353 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, the air intake passage allows gas to flow along the first chamber 2, the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12, and outwards to the outside of the massage structure 100. When the negative pressure generating component 1 performs an inhalation action, it can draw the gas in the first chamber 2 from the air inlet 11 into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air intake passage and discharge it to the outside of the massage structure 100 through the air outlet 12. This causes the first opening 21 to generate negative pressure. Under the action of negative pressure, the object to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21... When the skin at the massaged area is sucked up, the massage structure 100 can perform the first massage action (e.g., lifting massage). When the four-way solenoid valve 35 controls the seventh air port 351 to connect with the eighth air port 352 and the ninth air port 353 to connect with the tenth air port 354 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, since the air outlet passage allows gas to travel along the direction from the outside of the massage structure 100, through the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 to the first chamber 2, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs the exhaust action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can draw the gas outside the massage structure 100 from the air inlet 11 into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air outlet passage, and discharge it from the air outlet 12 to the first chamber 2, so that the first opening 21 generates positive pressure. Under the action of positive pressure, the skin at the massaged area in contact with the first opening 21 is squeezed, and the massage structure 100 can perform the second massage action (e.g., patting massage).
[0078] Simultaneously, the alternating switching of the four-way solenoid valve 35 can achieve massage effects of lifting massage, tapping massage, lifting massage, and tapping massage. Specifically, in the first step, the four-way solenoid valve 35 controls the connection between the seventh air port 351 and the tenth air port 354, and the eighth air port 352 and the ninth air port 353 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. In the second step, the four-way solenoid valve 35 controls the connection between the seventh air port 351 and the eighth air port 352, and the ninth air port 353 and the tenth air port 354 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. By alternating between the above two steps, the four-way solenoid valve 35 can alternately form the air intake passage and the air outlet passage, thereby achieving the massage effects of lifting massage, tapping massage, lifting massage, and tapping massage through the alternating switching of the air intake passage and the air outlet passage. Similarly, reversing the order of the above two steps and alternating them can also create the massage effects of tapping massage, lifting massage, tapping massage, and lifting massage.
[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5-8 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application; Figure 6 for Figure 5 Schematic diagrams of the pneumatic control components provided in some embodiments; Figure 7 for Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of the gas path control component provided in some embodiments; Figure 8 for Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the air path control assembly provided in some embodiments is shown below. The air path control assembly 3 includes a housing 36 and a drive motor 37. An eleventh air port 38, a twelfth air port 39, a thirteenth air port 310, and a fourteenth air port 311 are sequentially arranged along the outer periphery of the housing 36. The eleventh air port 38 communicates with the air inlet 11, the twelfth air port 39 communicates with the first chamber 2, the thirteenth air port 310 communicates with the air outlet 12, and the fourteenth air port 311 communicates with the outside of the massage structure 100. A rotatable air path reversing component 312 is also provided inside the housing 36. The air path reversing component 312 is connected to the drive motor 37. The drive motor 37 drives the air path reversing component 312 to rotate, thereby connecting the eleventh air port 38 and the twelfth air port 39, and connecting the thirteenth air port 310 and the fourteenth air port 311 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1; the drive motor 37 drives the air path reversing component 312 to rotate, thereby connecting the eleventh air port 38 and the fourteenth air port 311, and connecting the twelfth air port 39 and the thirteenth air port 310 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1.
[0080] The eleventh air inlet 38 is connected to the air inlet 11 via the fourth air passage 316; the twelfth air inlet 39 is connected to the first chamber 2 via the fourth air passage 316; the thirteenth air inlet 310 is connected to the air outlet 12 via the fourth air passage 316; and the fourteenth air inlet 311 is connected to the outside of the massage structure 100 via the fourth air passage 316.
[0081] The structure and connection method of the fourth air passage 316 can be the same as those of the first air passage 31.
[0082] In this embodiment, the air path control component 3 includes a housing 36 and a drive motor 37. The housing 36 has an eleventh air port 38, a twelfth air port 39, a thirteenth air port 310, and a fourteenth air port 311 on its outer periphery. Inside the housing 36 is an air path reversing component 312 driven by the drive motor 37. When the air path reversing component 312 rotates, it connects the eleventh air port 38 and the twelfth air port 39, and the thirteenth air port 310 and the fourteenth air port 311, forming an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. Since the air intake passage allows gas to flow along the first chamber 2, the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12, and towards the outside of the massage structure 100, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs an inhalation action, it can draw gas from the first chamber 2 into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air intake passage from the air inlet 11 and discharge it to the outside of the massage structure 100 from the air outlet 12, causing a negative pressure to be generated in the first opening 21. Under pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is sucked up, and the massage structure 100 can realize the first massage action (e.g., lifting massage). When the air path reversing component 312 rotates to connect the eleventh air port 38 and the fourteenth air port 311, and the twelfth air port 39 and the thirteenth air port 310 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, since the air outlet passage allows gas to travel along the direction from the outside of the massage structure 100, through the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 to the first chamber 2, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs the exhaust action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can draw the gas outside the massage structure 100 from the air inlet 11 into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air outlet passage, and discharge it to the first chamber 2 through the air outlet 12, so that the first opening 21 generates positive pressure. Under the action of positive pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is squeezed, and the massage structure 100 can realize the second massage action (e.g., patting massage).
[0083] Simultaneously, by driving the air path reversing component 312 alternately with the drive motor 37, alternating massage effects of lifting massage, tapping massage, and lifting massage can be achieved. Specifically, in the first step, the drive motor 37 drives the air path reversing component 312 to connect the eleventh air port 38 and the twelfth air port 39, and the thirteenth air port 310 and the fourteenth air port 311 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. In the second step, the drive motor 37 drives the air path reversing component 312 to connect the eleventh air port 38 and the fourteenth air port 311, and the twelfth air port 39 and the thirteenth air port 310 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. By alternating the above two steps, the alternating rotation of the air path reversing component 312 can alternately form the air intake passage and the air outlet passage, thereby achieving the alternating massage effects of lifting massage, tapping massage, and lifting massage. Similarly, by reversing the order of the two steps above and alternating between them, you can also create a massage effect that alternates between tapping massage, lifting massage, tapping massage, and lifting massage.
[0084] Meanwhile, since the solenoid valve generates a lot of noise when it is activated (mainly including the impact sound of the electromagnet and the airflow impact sound caused by the valve core switching), in this embodiment, by setting the drive motor 37 as the drive component of the air path control component 3, since the drive motor 37 does not generate a lot of noise when it is activated, the probability of noise generated during the use of the massage structure 100 can be reduced by using the drive motor 37 as the drive component of the air path control component 3, thereby improving the user experience.
[0085] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5-8 The airflow reversing component 312 includes a turntable 313, on which a first guide channel 314 and a second guide channel 315 are respectively provided. When the airflow reversing component 312 forms an air intake passage, the two ends of the first guide channel 314 are connected to the eleventh air port 38 and the twelfth air port 39, respectively, and the two ends of the second guide channel 315 are connected to the thirteenth air port 310 and the fourteenth air port 311, respectively. When the airflow reversing component 312 forms an air outlet passage, the two ends of the first guide channel 314 are connected to the eleventh air port 38 and the fourteenth air port 311, respectively, and the two ends of the second guide channel 315 are connected to the twelfth air port 39 and the thirteenth air port 310, respectively.
[0086] In the projection plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the turntable 313, the orthographic projection shape of the turntable 313 is circular. In the embodiment where the turntable 313 is circular, the first flow channel 314 and the second flow channel 315 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center of the circle.
[0087] In this embodiment, the airflow diverter 312 includes a turntable 313, on which a first guide channel 314 and a second guide channel 315 are respectively provided. When the airflow diverter 312 forms an air intake passage, the two ends of the first guide channel 314 are connected to the eleventh air port 38 and the twelfth air port 39, respectively, and the two ends of the second guide channel 315 are connected to the thirteenth air port 310 and the fourteenth air port 311, respectively. In this way, the airflow generated when the negative pressure generating component 1 is working can be guided along the first guide channel 314 and the second guide channel 315. Figure 6 The airflow direction A shown in the diagram ensures that the negative pressure generating component 1 is in a stable working state during the lifting massage provided by the massage structure 100. Similarly, when the airflow reversing component 312 forms an air outlet passage, the two ends of the first guide channel 314 are connected to the eleventh air port 38 and the fourteenth air port 311, respectively, and the two ends of the second guide channel 315 are connected to the twelfth air port 39 and the thirteenth air port 310, respectively. In this way, the airflow generated by the negative pressure generating component 1 during operation can be guided along the direction shown in the diagram. Figure 7 The second airflow direction B shown in the figure ensures that the negative pressure generating component 1 is in a stable working state during the tapping massage provided by the massage structure 100.
[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a third three-way solenoid valve). Figure 10 The diagram below shows the structure of a massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a first two-way solenoid valve and a second two-way solenoid valve). The air path control component 3 includes an air path switching element 317, a negative pressure chamber 319, and a positive pressure chamber 320. The air inlet 11 is connected to the air path switching element 317 through the negative pressure chamber 319, and the air outlet 12 is connected to the air path switching element 317 through the positive pressure chamber 320. The air path switching element 317 is connected to the first chamber 2.
[0089] The gas path switching component 317, the negative pressure chamber 319, and the positive pressure chamber 320 can be an integrally packaged structure, or they can be separate structures composed of individual components.
[0090] In embodiments where the air path switching component 317, the negative pressure chamber 319, and the positive pressure chamber 320 are separate components, the negative pressure chamber 319 and the positive pressure chamber 320 can be airbags made of flexible materials. By using flexible materials, the negative pressure chamber 319 and the positive pressure chamber 320 can deform, thereby playing a corresponding role when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs the intake and exhaust actions.
[0091] To improve the stability of the suction or exhaust action of the negative pressure generating component 1, a vent is typically provided in the outer shell of the massage structure 100 for the negative pressure generating component 1 to exhaust or draw in gas. However, due to user misoperation during use, such as blocking the vent, the negative pressure generating component 1 will continuously draw in gas from the outside during suction, unable to exhaust it from the vent. This gas will be compressed within the inner cavity of the negative pressure generating component 1, causing instantaneous overpressure in the system, potentially leading to physical explosions or bursts, motor burnout, and severe mechanical damage. Similarly, during exhaust, the compressed gas within the inner cavity of the negative pressure generating component 1 carries away most of the heat generated by friction and compression. Blocking the vent prevents new gas inflow, and almost all the work done by the negative pressure generating component 1 during continuous operation is converted into heat that cannot be expelled, causing the negative pressure generating component 1 to overheat. Therefore, the structure with a vent in the outer shell of the massage structure 100 has the drawback of reducing the operational stability of the negative pressure generating component 1.
[0092] Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting the air path control component 3 to include an air path switching component 317, a negative pressure chamber 319, and a positive pressure chamber 320, the air inlet 11 is connected to the air path switching component 317 through the negative pressure chamber 319, and the air outlet 12 is connected to the air path switching component 317 through the positive pressure chamber 320. The air path switching component 317 is connected to the first chamber 2. In this way, when the air path switching component 317 forms an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, since the air intake passage allows gas to flow along the direction of the first chamber 2, the air path switching component 317, the negative pressure chamber 319, the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12 to the positive pressure chamber 320, the negative pressure generating component 1 performs an air intake action, and the gas discharged by the negative pressure generating component 1 can be stored in the positive pressure chamber 320. Compared with the structure that opens a vent in the outer shell of the massage structure 100, by setting the positive pressure chamber 320, it is not necessary to set a vent for exhaust on the outer shell of the massage structure 100. This avoids the phenomenon of users accidentally blocking the air vent, thereby improving the stability of the negative pressure generating component 1's air intake process. When the air path switching component 317 forms an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, since the air outlet passage allows gas to flow along the direction of the negative pressure chamber 319, the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12, the positive pressure chamber 320, the air path switching component 317 to the first chamber 2, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs the exhaust action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can draw in gas from the negative pressure chamber 319. The negative pressure chamber 319 provides the source of the intake air volume required for the negative pressure generating component 1 to perform the exhaust action. Compared with the structure that opens the air vent in the outer shell of the massage structure 100, by setting the negative pressure chamber 319, it is not necessary to set the air vent for air intake on the outer shell of the massage structure 100, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of users accidentally blocking the air vent, thereby improving the stability of the negative pressure generating component 1's exhaust action process.
[0093] Therefore, by setting up a negative pressure chamber 319 and a positive pressure chamber 320, the working stability of the negative pressure generating component 1 can be improved.
[0094] Meanwhile, when the negative pressure generating component 1 is switched to perform the exhaust action, since the negative pressure generating component 1 has stored a certain amount of gas in the positive pressure chamber 320 when it is performing the intake action before switching, the gas discharged by the negative pressure generating component 1 and the gas stored in the positive pressure chamber 320 will be discharged into the first chamber 2 together when the exhaust action is performed, thereby increasing the gas flow rate in the first chamber 2 and increasing the positive pressure intensity in the first opening 21. Under the action of greater positive pressure, the skin of the massage area in contact with the first opening 21 is patted more intensely, thereby enabling the massage structure 100 to achieve a greater intensity of patting massage. When the negative pressure generating component 1 is switched to perform an inhalation action, before the switch, the negative pressure generating component 1 creates a negative pressure state inside the negative pressure chamber 319 when it performs an exhaust or inhalation action. Thus, when performing an inhalation action, the negative pressure state inside the negative pressure chamber 319 causes the gas in the first chamber 2 to quickly enter the air inlet 11, increasing the gas flow rate in the first chamber 2. This, in turn, increases the negative pressure intensity in the first opening 21. Under the action of a larger negative pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is stretched more, thereby enabling the massage structure 100 to achieve a greater intensity lifting massage.
[0095] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 The gas path switching component 317 includes a third three-way solenoid valve 3171, which has a fifteenth air port 31711, a sixteenth air port 31712, and a seventeenth air port 31713. The fifteenth air port 31711 is connected to the first chamber 2, the sixteenth air port 31712 is connected to the air inlet 11 through the negative pressure chamber 319, and the seventeenth air port 31713 is connected to the air outlet 12 through the positive pressure chamber 320. The third three-way solenoid valve 3171 controls the connection between the fifteenth air port 31711 and the sixteenth air port 31712 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. The third three-way solenoid valve 3171 also controls the connection between the fifteenth air port 31711 and the seventeenth air port 31713 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1.
[0096] The fifteenth air port 31711 is connected to the first chamber 2 via the fifth air passage 318; the sixteenth air port 31712 is connected to the negative pressure chamber 319 via the fifth air passage 318; the negative pressure chamber 319 is connected to the air inlet 11 via the fifth air passage 318; the seventeenth air port 31713 is connected to the positive pressure chamber 320 via the fifth air passage 318; and the positive pressure chamber 320 is connected to the air outlet 12 via the fifth air passage 318.
[0097] In an embodiment where the sixteenth air port 31712 is connected to the negative pressure chamber 319 via the fifth air passage 318, and the negative pressure chamber 319 is connected to the air inlet 11 via the fifth air passage 318, the negative pressure chamber 319 may be a part of the fifth air passage 318.
[0098] In an embodiment where the seventeenth air port 31713 is connected to the positive pressure chamber 320 via the fifth air passage 318, and the positive pressure chamber 320 is connected to the air outlet 12 via the fifth air passage 318, the positive pressure chamber 320 may be a part of the fifth air passage 318.
[0099] The structure and connection method of the fifth air passage 318 can be the same as those of the first air passage 31.
[0100] In this embodiment, the gas path switching component 317 includes a third three-way solenoid valve 3171. The third three-way solenoid valve 3171 has a fifteenth gas port 31711, a sixteenth gas port 31712, and a seventeenth gas port 31713. The fifteenth gas port 31711 is connected to the first chamber 2, the sixteenth gas port 31712 is connected to the inlet 11 through the negative pressure chamber 319, and the seventeenth gas port 31713 is connected to the outlet 12 through the positive pressure chamber 320. Thus, when the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 controls the fifteenth gas port 31711 and the sixteenth gas port 31712, the gas path switching component 31711 can switch the gas path switching component 31712. The air inlet 31712 connects to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. Since the air intake passage allows gas to flow along the direction from the first chamber 2, the fifteenth air inlet 31711, the sixteenth air inlet 31712, the negative pressure chamber 319, the air inlet 11, and the air outlet 12 to the positive pressure chamber 320, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs its suction action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can draw the gas in the first chamber 2 into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air intake passage, sequentially from the negative pressure chamber 319 and the air inlet 11, and discharge it from the air outlet 12. When the positive pressure chamber 320 is reached, a negative pressure is generated in the first opening 21. Under the action of the negative pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is sucked up, and the massage structure 100 can realize the first massage action (e.g., lifting massage). When the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 controls the fifteenth air port 31711 and the seventeenth air port 31713 to connect to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, the air outlet passage allows gas to travel along the negative pressure chamber 319, the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12, the positive pressure chamber 320, and the first opening 21. The air flows from the seventeenth air inlet 31713 and the fifteenth air inlet 31711 to the first chamber 2. When the negative pressure generating component 1 performs the exhaust action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can draw the gas in the negative pressure chamber 319 into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air outlet passage, and then discharge it from the positive pressure chamber 320 and the air outlet 12 to the first chamber 2 in sequence, so that the first opening 21 generates positive pressure. Under the action of positive pressure, the skin of the massage area in contact with the first opening 21 is squeezed, and the massage structure 100 can realize the second massage action (such as patting massage).
[0101] Simultaneously, by alternating the switching of the third three-way solenoid valve 3171, a massage effect of alternating lifting massage, tapping massage, lifting massage, and tapping massage can be achieved. Specifically, in the first step, the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 controls the connection of the fifteenth air port 31711 and the sixteenth air port 31712 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. In the second step, the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 controls the connection of the fifteenth air port 31711 and the seventeenth air port 31713 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. By alternating the above two steps, the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 can alternately form the air intake passage and the air outlet passage, thereby achieving the massage effect of alternating lifting massage, tapping massage, lifting massage, and tapping massage. Similarly, by reversing the order of the above two steps and alternating them, a massage effect of alternating tapping massage, lifting massage, tapping massage, and lifting massage can also be achieved.
[0102] The third three-way solenoid valve 3171 can also be used to switch and control the massage effect of deep lifting and releasing. Specifically, after the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 controls the connection of the fifteenth air port 31711 and the sixteenth air port 31712 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1 for a period of time, the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 then controls the connection of the fifteenth air port 31711 and the seventeenth air port 31713 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. Because the time for forming the air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1 is longer, the time for the air intake passage to exist is longer, thereby increasing the time for the negative pressure generating component 1 to exist. The increased airflow from the first chamber 2 through the air intake passage increases the negative pressure intensity within the first opening 21. Under the influence of this greater negative pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is more strongly sucked up, thus enabling the massage structure 100 to achieve a greater lifting massage (i.e., deep lifting). At this time, the air intake passage is disconnected while the air outlet passage is formed. The negative pressure generating component 1 generates positive pressure in the first opening 21 through the air outlet passage. The skin that has been deeply lifted is instantly released by the positive pressure, thereby achieving a deep lifting and release massage effect.
[0103] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 10The gas path switching component 317 includes a first two-way solenoid valve 3172 and a second two-way solenoid valve 3173. The first two-way solenoid valve 3172 has an eighteenth air port 31721 and a nineteenth air port 31722. The second two-way solenoid valve 3173 has a twentieth air port 31731 and a twenty-first air port 31732. The eighteenth air port 31721 is connected to the first chamber 2. The nineteenth air port 31722 is connected to the air inlet 11 through the negative pressure chamber 319. The twentieth air port 31731 is connected to the first chamber 2. The twenty-first air port 31732 is connected to the air outlet 12 through the positive pressure chamber 320. The first two-way solenoid valve 3172 controls the eighteenth air port 31721 and the nineteenth air port 31722 to be connected, and the second two-way solenoid valve 3173 controls the twentieth air port 31731 and the eleventh air port 31732 to be disconnected, forming an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1; the second two-way solenoid valve 3173 controls the twentieth air port 31731 and the eleventh air port 31732 to be connected, and the first two-way solenoid valve 3172 controls the eighteenth air port 31721 and the nineteenth air port 31722 to be disconnected, thereby forming an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1.
[0104] The eighteenth air inlet 31721 is connected to the first chamber 2 via the fifth air passage 318; the nineteenth air inlet 31722 is connected to the negative pressure chamber 319 via the fifth air passage 318; the negative pressure chamber 319 is connected to the air inlet 11 via the fifth air passage 318; the twentieth air inlet 31731 is connected to the first chamber 2 via the fifth air passage 318; the twenty-first air inlet 31732 is connected to the positive pressure chamber 320 via the fifth air passage 318; and the positive pressure chamber 320 is connected to the air outlet 12 via the fifth air passage 318.
[0105] The structure and connection method of the fifth air passage 318 can be the same as those of the first air passage 31.
[0106] In this embodiment, the gas path switching component 317 includes a first two-way solenoid valve 3172 and a second two-way solenoid valve 3173. The first two-way solenoid valve 3172 has an eighteenth air port 31721 and a nineteenth air port 31722, and the second two-way solenoid valve 3173 has a twentieth air port 31731 and a twenty-first air port 31732. The eighteenth air port 31721 is connected to the first chamber 2, the nineteenth air port 31722 is connected to the air inlet 11 through the negative pressure chamber 319, the twentieth air port 31731 is connected to the first chamber 2, and the twenty-first air port 31732 is connected to the air outlet 12 through the positive pressure chamber 320. Thus, when the first two-way solenoid valve... Solenoid valve 3172 controls the connection between the eighteenth air port 31721 and the nineteenth air port 31722, while the second two-way solenoid valve 3173 controls the twentieth air port 31731 and the twenty-first air port 31732 to be disconnected, forming an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. Since the air intake passage allows gas to flow along the direction from the first chamber 2, the eighteenth air port 31721, the nineteenth air port 31722, the negative pressure chamber 319, the air inlet 11, and the air outlet 12 to the positive pressure chamber 320, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs its intake action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can sequentially draw gas from the first chamber 2 through the air intake passage from the negative pressure chamber 31721 to the negative pressure chamber 320. 19. Air is drawn into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air inlet 11 and discharged into the positive pressure chamber 320 through the air outlet 12, causing the first opening 21 to generate negative pressure. Under the action of negative pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is sucked up, and the massage structure 100 can realize the first massage action (e.g., lifting massage). When the second two-way solenoid valve 3173 controls the twentieth air outlet 31731 and the eleventh air outlet 31732 to be connected and the first two-way solenoid valve 3172 controls the eighteenth air outlet 31721 and the nineteenth air outlet 31722 to be disconnected to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, since the air outlet passage can allow gas... The gas flows along the negative pressure chamber 319, the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12, the positive pressure chamber 320, the twenty-first air outlet 31732, the twentieth air outlet 31731 to the first chamber 2. When the negative pressure generating component 1 performs the exhaust action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can draw the gas in the negative pressure chamber 319 into the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air outlet passage, and then discharge it sequentially from the positive pressure chamber 320 and the air outlet 12 to the first chamber 2, so that the first opening 21 generates positive pressure. Under the action of positive pressure, the skin of the area to be massaged in contact with the first opening 21 is squeezed, and the massage structure 100 can realize the second massage action (such as patting massage).
[0107] Meanwhile, by alternately switching between the first two-way solenoid valve 3172 and the second two-way solenoid valve 3173, a massage effect of alternating lifting massage, tapping massage, lifting massage, and tapping massage can be achieved. The control method is similar to that of the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 mentioned above, and will not be described in detail here.
[0108] By controlling the switching time of the first two-way solenoid valve 3172 and the second two-way solenoid valve 3173, a deep lifting and releasing massage effect can also be achieved. The control method is similar to that of the third three-way solenoid valve 3171, and will not be described in detail here.
[0109] In some embodiments, the negative pressure generating component 1 includes a negative pressure pump.
[0110] In this embodiment, since the negative pressure pump can realize the function of air pressure change in a small installation space, the structural design requirements of the massage structure 100 can be met by setting the negative pressure generating component 1 as a negative pressure pump.
[0111] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a waterproof and breathable component). The first chamber 2 is provided with a waterproof and breathable component 5, which includes a waterproof and breathable membrane 51 with waterproof and breathable properties.
[0112] The waterproof and breathable membrane 51 is waterproof and breathable mainly because it has millions of micropores that are thousands of times thinner than a human hair. Water droplets have high surface tension and cannot squeeze into these micropores, while air molecules are extremely small and can pass through freely.
[0113] If the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 is in close contact with the skin of the area to be massaged, the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 is easily squeezed and deformed during massage, causing the micropores on the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 to close, which in turn leads to the interruption of airflow. Therefore, the position of the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 in the first chamber 2 needs to ensure that the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 does not come into contact with the skin of the area to be massaged during the massage process.
[0114] The waterproof and breathable membrane 51 can be transparent or white, allowing users to directly observe whether there is grease or liquid on the waterproof and breathable membrane 51, thereby determining whether the massage structure 100 needs to be cleaned.
[0115] In this embodiment, when the skin surface of the massage area of the massage structure 100 is in a humid environment with a large amount of sweat, moisture (such as after showering), or applied skin care products (such as essential oils or massage creams), the residual liquid can be easily drawn into the massage structure 100 by the airflow generated by the negative pressure generating component 1. This can create a dead corner for hygiene or cause the negative pressure generating component 1 to become damp and short-circuit, thus reducing the reliability of the massage structure 100. Therefore, a waterproof and breathable component 5 is provided in the first chamber 2. The waterproof and breathable component 5 includes components with waterproof and breathable properties. The waterproof and breathable membrane 51 blocks liquid while allowing gas to pass through, thus giving the waterproof and breathable component 5 a waterproof and breathable function. Because of the waterproof and breathable function of the waterproof and breathable component 5, liquid substances can be blocked, preventing them from entering parts of the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. This reduces the probability of liquid substances entering parts of the first chamber 2 and causing hygiene dead spots or entering the negative pressure generating component 1 and causing a short circuit in the negative pressure generating component 1 during the use of the massage structure 100, thereby improving the reliability of the massage structure 100.
[0116] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 The diagram below illustrates the structure of a massage structure provided in other embodiments of this application (showing a waterproof and breathable component). The waterproof and breathable component 5 further includes a support member 52 connected to the inner wall of the first chamber 2, and the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 is disposed on the support member 52.
[0117] The waterproof and breathable membrane 51 can be attached to the support 52 by means of adhesive bonding, such as ultrasonic bonding, hot melt bonding or adhesive bonding.
[0118] The support member 52 can be a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. In an embodiment where the support member 52 is a single-layer structure, the support member 52 can be made of stainless steel or plastic material. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 17 and Figure 18 , Figure 17 for Figure 12 A schematic diagram of the support structure provided in some embodiments. Figure 18 for Figure 12The diagram below shows the structural schematic of the support member provided in some embodiments. The support member 52 has multiple vent holes 53 on its surface, evenly distributed across the support member 52. These vent holes 53 allow the support member 52 to be breathable. The diameter of each vent hole 53 is R1, satisfying 0.1mm ≤ R1 ≤ 0.5mm. R1 can be 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, 0.5mm, or any value within the range of any two of these values.
[0119] In embodiments where the support member 52 is made of stainless steel or plastic, the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 can be attached to the support member 52 by adhesive.
[0120] In the projection plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the support member 52, the orthographic projection shape of the vent hole 53 can be rectangular or circular. In the embodiment where the orthographic projection shape of the vent hole 53 is circular, the aperture R1 of the vent hole 53 can be the radius of the vent hole 53.
[0121] If the number of vents 53 on the support member 52 is too small or their size is too small, it will increase the air resistance of the gas flow, thus affecting the air extraction effect of the negative pressure generating component 1. If the number of vents 53 on the support member 52 is too large or their size is too large, it will reduce the structural strength of the support member 52, thus affecting the tensile strength of the waterproof and breathable component 5. Therefore, by evenly distributing multiple vents 53 on the support member 52 and setting a value of 0.1mm≤R1≤0.5mm, the number and size of the vents 53 are relatively reasonable while simultaneously satisfying the requirements for air resistance and structural strength of the support member 52.
[0122] In an embodiment where the support member 52 is a single-layer structure, the support member 52 can also be made of ceramic material. By controlling the process conditions during sintering, pores can be formed on the surface of the ceramic material, thereby making the support member 52 breathable.
[0123] In embodiments where the support member 52 is made of ceramic material, the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 can be attached to the support member 52 by adhesive bonding.
[0124] In an embodiment where the support member 52 is a single layer, the support member 52 may also be made of mesh material. By setting the mesh count of the mesh, the support member 52 becomes breathable.
[0125] In embodiments where the support member 52 is made of mesh material, the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 can be attached to the support member 52 by ultrasonic bonding or hot melt bonding.
[0126] In an embodiment where the support member 52 has a multi-layer structure, the support member 52 may include a stainless steel layer and a mesh layer, with the stainless steel layer being attached to the adhesive mesh layer by means of adhesive bonding.
[0127] In embodiments where the support member 52 includes a stainless steel layer and a mesh layer, the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 can be disposed on the mesh layer by means of ultrasonic bonding or hot melt bonding.
[0128] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 12 The support member 52 has a side facing the first opening 21 and a side away from the first opening 21. The waterproof and breathable membrane 51 can be provided on the side of the support member 52 facing the first opening 21. By providing the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 on the side of the support member 52 facing the first opening 21, the liquid substance is blocked on the side of the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 facing the first opening 21, which reduces the probability of the liquid substance coming into contact with the support member 52 and improves the service life of the support member 52.
[0129] The waterproof and breathable membrane 51 can also be located on the other side of the support member 52 away from the first opening 21. Since the support member 52 has a certain structural strength, by placing the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 on the other side of the support member 52 away from the first opening 21, the support member 52 can effectively prevent the user's fingers from directly contacting the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 when the user is cleaning the massage structure 100, thereby reducing the probability that the external force generated by the fingers will directly act on the waterproof and breathable membrane 51, and thus improving the service life of the waterproof and breathable component 5.
[0130] In this embodiment, by connecting the support member 52 to the inner wall of the first chamber 2 and placing the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 on the support member 52, the support member 52, having a certain structural strength and being connected to the inner wall of the first chamber 2, can provide good support for the waterproof and breathable membrane 51. This increases the tensile strength of the waterproof and breathable component 5. Because of this increased tensile strength, the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 is less likely to be torn by the force generated by gas flow under negative pressure. Simultaneously, the support member 52 is breathable, ensuring the waterproof and breathable component 5... With waterproof and breathable properties, the waterproof and breathable component 5 can provide more stable waterproof and breathable performance under negative pressure. In this way, during the use of the massage structure 100, the waterproof and breathable component 5 can block liquid substances, preventing them from entering parts of the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. This further reduces the probability of liquid substances entering parts of the first chamber 2 and causing unsanitary areas or entering the negative pressure generating component 1 and causing a short circuit in the negative pressure generating component 1, thereby further improving the reliability of the massage structure 100.
[0131] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 13-16 , Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application (showing quick-release components). Figure 14 for Figure 13 A magnified view of a portion of point C in the middle. Figure 15 A schematic diagram of the massage structure provided for other embodiments of this application (showing quick-release components). Figure 16 for Figure 15 A partially enlarged schematic diagram at point D. It also includes a quick-release assembly 6, through which the support member 52 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the first chamber 2.
[0132] The support component 52 can be detachably connected to the inner wall of the first chamber 2 via the quick-release assembly 6, such as by threaded connection or snap-fit connection. This detachable connection method facilitates the replacement of the waterproof and breathable component 5 by the user.
[0133] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 13 and Figure 14 The quick-release assembly 6 includes a first threaded portion 61 and a second threaded portion 62 with threaded engagement. The first threaded portion 61 is circumferentially disposed on the outer wall of the support member 52, and the second threaded portion 62 is circumferentially disposed on the inner wall of the first chamber 2.
[0134] The first threaded portion 61 can be either an external thread or an internal thread.
[0135] The second threaded portion 62 can be either an internal thread or an external thread.
[0136] By providing a first threaded portion 61 on the support member 52 and a second threaded portion 62 on the first chamber 2, the threaded engagement between the first threaded portion 61 and the second threaded portion 62 fixes the support member 52 to the inner wall of the first chamber 2, further strengthening the connection between the support member 52 and the inner wall of the first chamber 2. This allows the support member 52 to withstand external forces and prevents it from loosening or falling off due to external factors such as vibration or pulling, thereby further improving the tensile strength of the waterproof and breathable component 5. Similarly, the threaded engagement between the first threaded portion 61 and the second threaded portion 62 allows the support member 52 to be quickly disassembled from the inner wall of the first chamber 2.
[0137] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 15 and Figure 16 The quick-release assembly 6 includes a first snap-fit part 63 and a second snap-fit part 64 that engage with each other. The first snap-fit part 63 is circumferentially disposed on the outer wall of the support member 52, and the second snap-fit part 64 is circumferentially disposed on the inner wall of the first chamber 2.
[0138] The first latching part 63 can be a latch or a clip.
[0139] The second latching part 64 can be a latch or a slot.
[0140] By providing a first snap-fit portion 63 on the support member 52 and a second snap-fit portion 64 on the first chamber 2, the snap-fit engagement between the first snap-fit portion 63 and the second snap-fit portion 64 fixes the support member 52 to the inner wall of the first chamber 2, further strengthening the connection between the support member 52 and the inner wall of the first chamber 2. This allows the support member 52 to withstand external forces and prevents it from loosening or falling off due to external factors such as vibration and pulling, thereby further improving the tensile strength of the waterproof and breathable component 5. Similarly, the snap-fit engagement between the first snap-fit portion 63 and the second snap-fit portion 64 allows the support member 52 to be quickly detached from the inner wall of the first chamber 2.
[0141] In this embodiment, the support member 52 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the first chamber 2 by the quick-release assembly 6, so that the connection between the support member 52 and the inner wall of the first chamber 2 is more secure when the waterproof and breathable assembly 5 is installed. In this way, the support member 52 can withstand external forces and is not easy to loosen or fall off due to external factors such as vibration and pulling, thereby improving the tensile strength of the waterproof and breathable assembly 5. When disassembling the waterproof and breathable assembly 5, the support member 52 can be quickly detached from the inner wall of the first chamber 2, so that the waterproof and breathable assembly 5 can be quickly replaced.
[0142] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 19 , Figure 19 A schematic diagram of a massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a first chamber). The first chamber 2 has a first end 22 and a second end 23, the first end 22 being close to the first opening 21 and the second end 23 being away from the first opening 21, and the size of the first chamber 2 gradually decreases from the first end 22 to the second end 23.
[0143] The cross-sectional shape of the first chamber 2 can be rectangular or circular. In an embodiment where the cross-sectional shape of the first chamber 2 is circular, the size of the first chamber 2 gradually decreases from the first end 22 to the second end 23, which means that the radius of the first chamber 2 gradually decreases from the first end 22 to the second end 23.
[0144] In this embodiment, by setting the size of the first chamber 2 to gradually decrease from the first end 22 to the second end 23, the interior of the first chamber 2 can be made conical. When gas enters the first chamber 2 and flows along the first end 22 to the second end 23, the cross-sectional area of the gas flow continuously decreases, thereby increasing the gas flow speed in the first chamber 2 and enhancing the suction effect of the first chamber 2, thus improving the massage effect.
[0145] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 20 , Figure 20 This is a schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application (showing an atomizing component). It also includes an atomizing component 7. The first chamber 2 has a first end 22 and a second end 23, the first end 22 being close to the first opening 21, and the second end 23 being away from the first opening 21. The atomizing component 7 is disposed on the first end 22.
[0146] The atomizing component 7 can be a piezoelectric ceramic sheet. The piezoelectric ceramic sheet contacts the liquid substance and generates a cavitation effect through high-frequency vibration of 1.7MHz-3.5MHz, causing water molecules to decompose into micron-sized water mist instantly.
[0147] In this embodiment, by providing an atomizing component 7 on the first end 22 of the first chamber 2, since the atomizing component 7 can atomize liquid substances, the liquid substances remaining on the inner wall of the first chamber 2 can be broken into a large number of small droplet groups and suspended in the gas to form a gas-liquid mixed two-phase flow, thereby reducing the probability of liquid substances remaining on the inner wall surface of the first chamber 2.
[0148] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 , Figure 21 A schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application (showing the protective component). Figure 22 for Figure 21 The diagram shows the structure of the protective component provided in some embodiments. It also includes a protective component 8, which is disposed within the first chamber 2 and located between the first opening 21 and the waterproof and breathable assembly 5.
[0149] The protective component 8 may include a first protective component 81 and a second protective component 82. There may be one first protective component 81 and one second protective component 82, or there may be multiple first protective components 81 and two second protective components 82.
[0150] In an embodiment where both the first protective member 81 and the second protective member 82 are one, the two ends of the first protective member 81 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the first chamber 2, and the two ends of the second protective member 82 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the first chamber 2. The first protective member 81 and the second protective member 82 are arranged in a cross-shaped structure.
[0151] In embodiments where there are multiple first protective members 81 and multiple second protective members 82, each of the multiple first protective members 81 has its two ends connected to the inner wall of the first chamber 2, and each of the multiple second protective members 82 has its two ends connected to the inner wall of the first chamber 2. Each first protective member 81 and each second protective member 82 are arranged to cross each other to form a mesh structure.
[0152] By setting the protective component 8 to a cross-shaped structure and a mesh structure, the protective component 8 can be made breathable.
[0153] In this embodiment, by placing the protective component 8 inside the first chamber 2 and between the first opening 21 and the waterproof and breathable component 5, the protective component 8 can effectively prevent the user's fingers from directly contacting the waterproof and breathable component 5 when the user is cleaning the massage structure 100, thereby reducing the probability that the external force generated by the fingers will directly act on the waterproof and breathable component 5, and thus improving the service life of the waterproof and breathable component 5.
[0154] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 23 , Figure 23 A schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a hydrophobic coating). The waterproof and breathable membrane 51 is coated with a hydrophobic coating 9.
[0155] The hydrophobic coating 9 can be applied to the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 by means of adhesive bonding, such as ultrasonic bonding, hot melt bonding or adhesive bonding.
[0156] In this embodiment, since the molecules of the coating material of the hydrophobic coating 9 have a very weak attraction to water molecules and the unevenness of the surface of the hydrophobic coating 9 can reduce the actual contact area between water droplets and solids, the surface of the hydrophobic coating 9 can produce a "lotus effect". By setting the hydrophobic coating 9 on the waterproof and breathable membrane 51, the "lotus effect" of the hydrophobic coating 9 can be used to prevent liquid substances from spreading on the surface of the hydrophobic coating 9 and form small water droplets. At the same time, they roll on the surface of the hydrophobic coating 9. Under the action of gravity, the liquid substances can be more easily discharged from the first opening 21.
[0157] In some embodiments, the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 is one or more of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membrane, thermoplastic polyurethane membrane, polyethylene membrane, acrylic membrane, polypropylene membrane, polyethersulfone membrane, polyethylene terephthalate membrane, and polyvinylidene fluoride membrane.
[0158] The waterproof and breathable membrane 51 can be an oleophobic modified expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane. ePTFE membrane is a porous film material made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) resin through an expansion process. This material possesses excellent breathability (allowing gas molecules to pass through) and barrier properties (making it difficult for liquid molecules to penetrate). Simultaneously, the ePTFE membrane inherits the high and low temperature resistance, chemical inertness, and aging resistance of PTFE, and is flexible and not easily damaged when stretched or compressed.
[0159] Expanded PTFE membranes naturally possess hydrophobic properties, preventing moisture from passing through. However, they are less resistant to oils (such as massage oils and glycerin-based skincare products). Prolonged contact with these oils can cause them to adhere to and clog micropores, affecting breathability. Therefore, oleophobic modification treatment (a process optimized for the surface properties of expanded PTFE membranes) can enhance their ability to repel oils.
[0160] Fluorine compound coatings can be applied to the surface of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) films to achieve oleophobic modification.
[0161] Oleophobic modified expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) films can be as thin as 0.02 mm, making them suitable for integration into small massager cavities and applicable to a wide range of environments.
[0162] In this embodiment, since expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane, thermoplastic polyurethane membrane, polyethylene membrane, acrylic membrane, polypropylene membrane, polyethersulfone membrane, polyethylene terephthalate membrane, and polyvinylidene fluoride membrane have good waterproof and breathable properties, flexibility, and chemical stability, the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 is made of ePTFE membrane, thermoplastic polyurethane membrane, polyethylene membrane, acrylic membrane, polypropylene membrane, polyethersulfone membrane, polyethylene terephthalate membrane, and polyvinylidene fluoride membrane, thus giving the waterproof and breathable membrane 51 good waterproof and breathable properties.
[0163] In some embodiments, the first opening 21 is made of a flexible material, which is one or more of TPE, POE, PVC, silicone, and liquid silicone.
[0164] In this embodiment, the first opening 21 is made of a flexible material, and the flexible material is one or more of TPE, POE, PVC, silicone, and liquid silicone. Since materials such as TPE, POE, PVC, silicone, or liquid silicone have low Shore hardness, the elastic modulus of the first opening 21 is low. Therefore, the softer the first opening 21 is, the easier it is to deform. Thus, during use, the first chamber 2 can more easily deform according to the shape of the area to be massaged, so that the first opening 21 can better fit the skin of the area to be massaged, further improving the massage effect.
[0165] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 24 , Figure 24 This is a schematic diagram of the massage structure provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a first elastic element). It also includes a first elastic element 10, which is sleeved within a first air passage 31 and a second air passage 32.
[0166] The first elastic element 10 can be a spring or a metal sheet.
[0167] In embodiments where the first elastic element 10 is a spring, the length of the spring can be the same as the length of the first air passage 31, and the length of the spring can be the same as the length of the second air passage 32.
[0168] In this embodiment, since the deformation capacity of the first air passage 31 and the second air passage 32 is limited, they cannot return to their initial state after bending under external force. This reduces the flow area of the first air passage 31 and the second air passage 32, thereby affecting the suction and discharge effect of the negative pressure generating component 1 and reducing the massage effect of the massage structure 100. Therefore, by fitting a first elastic element 10 in the first air passage 31 and the second air passage 32, the deformation capacity of the first elastic element 10 is increased, allowing the first air passage 31 and the second air passage 32 to return to their initial state after bending, thereby reducing the impact of changes in flow area on the massage effect of the massage structure 100.
[0169] In some embodiments, a control circuit is also included. Figures 1-24 (not shown in the image), the control circuit ( Figures 1-24 (not shown in the image) is electrically connected to the gas path control component 3; the control circuit ( Figures 1-24 (Not shown) alternately sends a first signal and a second signal to the gas path control component 3, the duration of sending the first signal is T1, and the duration of sending the second signal is T2; wherein, the first signal is used to control the gas path control component 3 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, and the second signal is used to control the gas path control component 3 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1.
[0170] In this embodiment, a control circuit electrically connected to the gas path control component 3 is provided. Figures 1-24 (not shown in the image), control circuit ( Figures 1-24 The duration of sending the first signal (not shown) is T1. The first signal is used to control the air path control component 3 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. When the air path control component 3 forms an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, since the air intake passage allows gas to flow along the first chamber 2, the air inlet 11, the air outlet 12 to the outside of the massage structure 100, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs an inhalation action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can generate negative pressure in the first opening 21 through the air intake passage. Under the action of negative pressure, the skin of the massage area in contact with the first opening 21 is sucked up, and the massage structure 100 can realize the first massage action (e.g., lifting massage) for a time of T1. At the same time, since the connection time is T1, the frequency of the air path control component 3's action is reduced; secondly, through the control circuit ( Figures 1-24 (Not shown in the image) The duration of sending the second signal is T2. The second signal is used to control the air path control component 3 to form an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1. When the air path control component 3 forms an air outlet passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, since the air outlet passage allows gas to travel along the direction from the outside of the massage structure 100, through the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 to the first chamber 2, when the negative pressure generating component 1 performs an exhaust action, the negative pressure generating component 1 can generate positive pressure in the first opening 21 through the air outlet passage. Under the action of positive pressure, the skin of the massage area in contact with the first opening 21 is squeezed, and the massage structure 100 can perform a second massage action (e.g., tapping massage) for a time of T2. Finally, by alternately sending the first signal and the second signal through the control circuit, the massage effect of alternating lifting massage T1, tapping massage T2, lifting massage T1, and tapping massage T2 is achieved, thereby making the first opening 21 form intermittent adsorption. Compared with the prior art, this reduces the probability of excessive adsorption, which can cause discomfort and pain to the user.
[0171] Meanwhile, in embodiments where the air path control component 3 includes a third three-way solenoid valve 3171, a negative pressure chamber 319, and a positive pressure chamber 320, the duty cycle of the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 can be adjusted so that the time for the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 to control the conduction of the fifteenth air port 31711 and the sixteenth air port 31712, and the interval for controlling the conduction of the fifteenth air port 31711 and the seventeenth air port 31713, are both 4µs-8µs, for example, 6µs. By shortening the time, the frequency of alternating between lifting massage and tapping massage within a control cycle is increased, thereby making the switching speed of lifting massage and tapping massage faster within a control cycle, thus allowing users to experience different massage effects, and simultaneously controlling the circuit ( Figures 1-24 (Not shown in the image) The duty cycle of the third three-way solenoid valve 3171 is controlled so that the user can actively operate the control circuit. Figures 1-24 (Not shown in the image) This allows for control of different massage modes.
[0172] In some embodiments, it also includes the control circuit ( Figures 1-24 Before the control circuit (not shown) alternately sends the first signal and the second signal to the air path control component 3, the control circuit sends a third signal to the air path control component 3. The duration of sending the third signal is T3. The third signal is used to control the air path control component 3 to form an air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1, wherein T3 > T1 and T3 > T2 are satisfied.
[0173] In this embodiment, because T3 > T1 and T3 > T3, the time for the air passage control component 3 to form the air intake passage between the first chamber 2 and the negative pressure generating component 1 is increased. This, in turn, increases the gas flow rate drawn into the first chamber 2 by the negative pressure generating component 1 through the air intake passage, thus increasing the negative pressure intensity within the first opening 21. Under this greater negative pressure, the skin of the massaged area in contact with the first opening 21 is more strongly sucked up, thereby enabling the massage structure 100 to achieve a greater intensity lifting massage (i.e., deep lifting). Simultaneously, the control circuit ( Figures 1-21 Before the control circuit sends the first and second signals alternately to the air path control component 3 (not shown), the control circuit sends the third signal to the air path control component 3. This allows the massage structure 100 to simultaneously perform alternating massage effects of lifting massage T1, tapping massage T2, lifting massage T1, and tapping massage T2 under the premise of relatively strong lifting massage, thereby improving the user's massage experience.
[0174] In some embodiments, a pressure sensor is also included. Figures 1-24 (not shown in the image), the pressure sensor ( Figures 1-24 The pressure sensor (not shown) is located in the first chamber 2. Figures 1-24 (not shown in the image) and the control circuit ( Figures 1-24 Electrical connection (not shown); wherein, the pressure sensor ( Figures 1-24 When the pressure sensor (not shown) obtains the pressure value in the first chamber 2 as a preset pressure value, the pressure sensor ( Figures 1-24 (not shown in the image) to the control circuit ( Figures 1-24 (not shown) sends a fourth signal, which is used to control the control circuit ( Figures 1-24 (Not shown in the image) Stop sending the third signal.
[0175] The preset pressure value can be set according to the user's intensity requirements for the first massage action (lifting massage).
[0176] In this embodiment, a pressure sensor is provided ( Figures 1-24 (Not shown) can accurately detect the pressure in the first chamber 2. When the pressure reaches a preset pressure value, the pressure sensor ( Figures 1-24 (Not shown) sends a fourth signal to the control circuit. The fourth signal is used to control the control circuit to stop sending the third signal, thereby controlling the duration T3 of the third signal. This allows for precise control of the intensity of the lifting massage (i.e., deep lifting) performed by the massage structure 100, thereby further improving the user's massage experience.
