Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of massage equipment technology, and in particular to a massage system and massage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A pneumatic massage system includes an air supply device, an air distribution device, and an air bag. The air bag is connected to the air supply device via the air distribution device. The air supply device supplies gas, and the air distribution device controls the inflation and deflation of the air bag. When inflated, the air bag provides a squeezing massage effect. Pneumatic massage systems are assembled and applied to chairs, beds, cushions, and other equipment to form corresponding massage devices.

[0003] Currently, the air bags of pneumatic massage systems are usually fixedly installed on massage equipment according to the set massage positions. After the fixed installation is completed, the position of the air bags cannot be changed or adjusted during the use of the equipment. That is, the air bags can only achieve fixed-point massage and cannot flexibly provide massage according to the user's real-time needs. The pneumatic massage system and its massage equipment have low flexibility and limit the bionic massage effect of the massage equipment.

[0004] Furthermore, existing technologies, in order to overcome the limitation of fixed massage points due to the fixed position of the airbags after installation, typically use multiple airbags. These airbags are arranged according to the main massage points required by convention, and the inflation and deflation of each airbag is independently controlled to achieve the purpose of massaging different massage points. However, the multiple airbags, along with the multiple air distribution valves and connecting air pipes for each airbag, greatly increase the overall cost, and the overall layout of the pneumatic massage system is cumbersome. Moreover, since the multiple airbags are still fixed in one location, there are blind spots between adjacent airbags that cannot be massaged, thus limiting the flexibility and precision of the massage. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a massage system and massage device that overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a massage system comprising an air source, a gas distribution device, a flexible container, a massage air bag, and an actuating device. The flexible container has a guiding space, and the massage air bag is connected to the air source through the gas distribution device. The massage air bag inflates by receiving gas from the air source to achieve compression massage. The massage air bag is movably disposed within the guiding space, and the actuating device is connected to the massage air bag to drive the massage air bag to move within the guiding space.

[0007] Optionally, the actuation device includes an actuator and a traction belt, one end of which is fixedly connected to the massage air bag and the other end is actuatedly connected to the actuator, and at least a portion of the traction belt is located within the guide space.

[0008] Optionally, the actuation device includes an actuator, a transmission gear, and a rack guide rail. The transmission gear is connected between the actuator and the rack guide rail. The rack guide rail is arranged along the extension direction of the guide space. The massage air bag is connected to the actuator, and the actuator moves along the rack guide rail.

[0009] Optionally, one of the massage air bag and the actuator is provided with a permanent magnet, and the other is provided with a magnetic element, and the actuator is magnetically connected to the massage air bag.

[0010] Optionally, the actuator is provided with a vibrator for driving the actuator and the massage air bag to vibrate.

[0011] Optionally, the massage air bag includes multiple bag layers, which are connected sequentially along the main deformation direction.

[0012] Optionally, a massage head is provided on the top outer surface of the massage air bag.

[0013] Optionally, the guide space of the flexible container includes a straight section and a curved section, wherein the straight section and the curved section extend and communicate with each other.

[0014] Optionally, a lubricating layer is provided on the inner surface of the guide space of the flexible container.

[0015] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a massage device equipped with the above-mentioned massage system.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are:

[0017] The massage system of the present invention includes a flexible container with a guide space and an actuation device. The massage air bag can move within the guide space under the drive of the actuation device, so that the position of the massage air bag can be adjusted and changed to achieve precise massage at different points, improve the flexibility of the massage system, diversify the massage modes of the massage system, and expand the massage application range of the massage system.

[0018] The massage device of the present invention, equipped with the aforementioned massage system, can flexibly adjust the position of the massage airbags according to the user's real-time massage needs to provide precise point massage. The sliding massage of the massage airbags in the guide space and the precise point massage provide a good biomimetic massage effect. Furthermore, by controlling the movement trajectory of the massage airbags in the guide space of the flexible container and controlling the inflation and deflation of the massage airbags, a variety of massage modes can be achieved.

[0019] Furthermore, the massage device of the present invention can achieve a variety of massage modes and timely and precise massage at different points based on a single air bag, and is low in cost and simple in structure, avoiding the cumbersome and high-cost structural settings of multiple air bags, multiple air valves and multiple air tubes in massage devices.

[0028] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, a more detailed description is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that when an element is described as being "fixed to" another element, it can be directly on the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. When an element is described as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element, or one or more intermediate elements may exist between them. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only.

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 The massage system 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a flexible container 1, a massage air bag 2, an actuator 3, a gas distribution device 4, and a gas source 5.

[0031] The massage airbag 2 is movably disposed within the flexible container 1. The massage airbag 2 is connected to both the actuator 3 and the gas distribution device 4, which is connected to the gas source 5. The massage airbag 2 communicates with the gas source 5 via the gas distribution device 4 and inflates by receiving gas from the gas source 5 to achieve a squeezing massage. The actuator 3 drives the massage airbag 2 to move within the flexible container 1, thereby adjusting the massage position of the massage system 100.

[0032] For the aforementioned flexible container 1, a guide space 10 is provided inside the flexible container 1. The guide space 10 is specifically the internal volume space of the flexible container 1. The guide space 10 is used for the massage air bag 2 to move within it, that is, the massage air bag 2 moves within the internal volume space of the flexible container 1.

[0033] The guide space 10 can be any spatial structure, specifically determined by the internal volume of the flexible container 1. For example, it can be a straight section extending directly, a curved section extending in a bend, or a combination of straight and curved sections extending and connecting. The massage airbag 2 is disposed within the guide space 10 and can move within the extended space of the guide space 10 under the drive of the actuation device 3.

[0034] Specifically, the straight section 101 provides a space for the massage airbag 2 to move linearly, which is suitable for long strip-shaped massage areas. The curved section 102 allows the massage airbag 2 to change direction during movement, enabling more precise positioning to specific massage points or areas, while increasing the diversity and comfort of the massage. The curved section 102 can be set in different shapes, such as arc-shaped or wavy, to provide different massage paths.

[0035] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the guiding space 10 includes a straight section 101 and a curved section 102, and the straight section 101 and the curved section 102 extend and communicate with each other. Preferably, the curved section 102 extends and communicates from the straight section 101, is annularly curved and terminates at the side wall of the straight section 101.

[0036] It can be understood that the guiding space 10 is not limited to the above-mentioned structure and can also be other structures. For example, in some embodiments, the straight section can be one or more segments, the curved section can be one or more segments, and the straight sections are connected by the curved section or the straight section to form various shape structures such as "冂" and "凵".

[0037] In some other embodiments, referring to Figure 2 [[ID=X]],导向空间10仅包括直道段,为按摩气袋2提供线性的移动空间。

[0038] The movement of the massage airbag 2 within the guiding space 10 of the flexible container 1 can be carried out in the inflated state of the massage airbag 2 or in the contracted state after the massage airbag 2 deflates. Among them, the inner wall of the guiding space 10 can be pretreated to reduce friction, making the inner wall of the guiding space 10 more lubricated, so that the massage airbag 2 can smoothly slide within the guiding space 10 in any state.

[0039] In some embodiments, a lubricating layer is provided on the inner surface of the guiding space 10 of the flexible container 1 to reduce the friction when the massage airbag 2 moves within the guiding space 10, enabling the massage airbag 2 to slide smoothly, while reducing the heat and wear generated by friction and enhancing the durability of the flexible container 1 and the massage airbag 2. Among them, the lubricating layer is composed of a material with a low coefficient of friction, such as a silicone coating or lubricating oil, and can be applied to the inner surface of the guiding space 10.

[0040] It seems there is an incomplete sentence in your original text. I've translated it as best as possible with the given content. Please check and let me know if there are any specific corrections or additional information needed.It should be noted that the flexible container 1 can be a bag or sleeve made of elastic material, including but not limited to synthetic materials with high elasticity and durability such as rubber, silicone, and polyurethane. Preferably, the flexible container 1 is made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer), and the massage air bag 2 can also be made of TPU, with the flexible container 1 and the massage air bag 2 made of the same material.

[0041] The flexible container 1 is used to provide a movable guide space 10 for the massage air bag 2, which can adapt to its inflation and shape changes. Therefore, the flexible container 1 can be an open container that is not completely closed, which directly provides good guidance for the massage air bag 2, or a closed container with good airtightness. When the massage air bag 2 is inflated and moved, the flexible container 1 can maintain a stable shape or internal pressure.

[0042] In some embodiments, the flexible container 1 is configured as a track airbag with good airtightness. Components such as the air pipe connecting the massage airbag 2 and the gas distribution device 4 can achieve dynamic sealing with the flexible container 1. The track airbag is connected to the gas source 5 through the gas distribution device 4, thereby enabling the track airbag to maintain a good track shape when inflated, allowing the massage airbag 2 to glide more smoothly. Alternatively, the flexible container 1 can be a non-airtight track airbag, within which the massage airbag 2 can glide.

[0043] The massage air bag 2 mentioned above can be a single-layer air bag with a single body layer, or a multi-layer air bag with multiple body layers.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The massage airbag 2 comprises multiple bag layers 21, which are sequentially connected along a main deformation direction, i.e., the direction of expansion and rise of the massage airbag 2 during inflation. Any one or more bag layers 21 can be connected to the gas distribution device 4. In a preferred embodiment, the bottommost bag layer 21 is connected to the gas distribution device 4. When the gas source 5 provides gas, the gas first enters the bottommost bag layer 21 and gradually flows upwards to each bag layer 21 until all bag layers 21 are inflated. The number of bag layers 21 can be two or more, providing sufficient inflation massage stroke to enhance massage intensity.

[0045] In another preferred embodiment, a massage head 22 is provided on the top outer surface of the massage air bag 2. When the massage air bag 2 is a multi-layered air bag, the massage head 22 is located on the top outer surface of the topmost bag layer 21 among the multiple bag layers 21. When the massage air bag 2 is inflated, the massage head 22 protrudes outward from the top outer surface of the massage air bag 2 to create a squeezing massage effect that simulates the squeezing of a human finger.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the shape of the massage head 22 can be set to be circular, elliptical, or include several tiny protrusions, depending on different massage needs.

[0047] Optionally, the massage head 22 is a solid body, or the interior of the massage head 22 is hollow. The cavity of the massage head 22 can communicate with the inflation space of the massage air bag 2, or the cavity of the massage head 22 can communicate with the inflation space of the massage air bag 2, and the cavity is filled with a flexible material such as sponge.

[0048] In optional embodiments, the massage head 22 is connected to the bag body layer 21 of the massage air bag 2 by means of bonding or welding, or the massage head 22 and the bag body layer 21 of the massage air bag 2 are integrally formed. In some embodiments, when the massage air bag 2 is not inflated, the massage head 22 at least partially protrudes from the top outer surface of the massage air bag 2. In other embodiments, a pleated structure is provided between the massage head 22 and the top outer surface of the massage air bag 2, so that the massage head 22 can be housed in the groove formed by the pleated structure when the massage air bag 2 is not inflated or contracted, thereby making the massage head 22 flush or substantially flush with the top outer surface of the massage air bag 2.

[0049] In some embodiments, a pressure sensor may be provided inside the massage head 22. The pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure change between the massage head 22 and the massage area during the massage process, so that the massage system 100 can monitor the massage intensity in real time and automatically adjust the degree of inflation of the gas in the inflation space of the massage air bag 2 or the movement of the massage air bag 2 according to user feedback or preset massage program, so as to ensure the comfort and effect of the massage.

[0050] For the aforementioned actuator 3, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the actuation device 3 includes an actuator and a traction belt 31. The traction belt 31 can be any type of transmission belt, such as steel wire, composite metal wire, etc. One end of the traction belt 31 is fixedly connected to the massage air bag 2, and the other end is actuatedly connected to the actuator. The actuator is used to drive the traction belt 31 to move, thereby causing the massage air bag 2 to reciprocate within the guide space 10. At least a portion of the traction belt 31 is located within the guide space 10. When the flexible container 1 is an airtight sealed container, there is a dynamic seal between the traction belt 31 and the flexible container 1.

[0051] Preferably, the actuator is a motor, capable of rotating clockwise or counterclockwise around the central axis of the motor. It is understood that the connection between the motor and the traction belt 31 can be any mechanical connection capable of enabling the reciprocating movement of the traction belt 31.

[0052] In one example, the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to a reel, the traction belt 31 is an annular belt, and the massage air bag 2 is connected to the traction belt 31 and located within the guide space 10. The traction belt 31 passes through the flexible container 1 from both ends connected to the massage air bag 2 and is tightly wound around the reel. When the motor rotates around its central axis in one of the clockwise or counterclockwise directions, the motor drives the reel to rotate, and one end of the traction belt 31 in the direction of rotation of the reel is gradually wound up by the reel, while the other end is gradually released. The traction belt 31 pulls the massage air bag 2 to move in a preset direction within the guide space 10. When the motor rotates around its central axis in the other of the clockwise or counterclockwise directions, the motor drives the reel to rotate, and the traction belt 31 drives the massage air bag 2 to move in the opposite direction of the preset direction within the guide space 10.

[0053] It is understandable that the preset direction refers to the specific path or direction followed by the massage air bag 2 when it moves within the guide space 10 of the flexible container 1. The preset direction can be adjusted according to the user's needs or the different massage areas.

[0054] In another example, there are two motors, each with its output shaft connected to a reel. One end of the traction belt 31 passes through one end of the flexible container 1 and is fixed to one reel, while the other end passes through the other end of the flexible container 1 and is fixed to the other reel. The traction belt 31 is strapped to the massage air bag 2, or the traction belt 31 is fixedly connected to the massage air bag 2 by means of a fastener, such as a buckle. When one motor rotates around its central axis in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, the other motor rotates in the same direction, and the two reels rotate in the same direction with the motors, causing one end of the traction belt 31 to be wound up and the other end to be released, thereby moving the massage air bag 2 within the guide space 10.

[0055] For the aforementioned actuator 3, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In other embodiments, the actuation device 3 includes an actuator, a transmission gear 32, and a rack and pinion guide 33. The massage air bag 2 is connected to the actuator, which moves along the rack and pinion guide 33 via the transmission gear 32, which is connected between the actuator and the rack and pinion guide 33.

[0056] Specifically, the actuator is set as a motor and can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around its central axis. The transmission gear 32 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the actuator, and the transmission gear 32 is meshed and connected with the rack guide 33. When the motor rotates around its central axis in one direction of clockwise and counterclockwise, the transmission gear 32 rotates with the motor and rolls along the rack guide 33, thereby driving the motor and the connected massage airbag 2 to move along the extension direction of the rack guide 33; when the motor rotates around its central axis in the other direction of clockwise and counterclockwise, the transmission gear 32 rotates with the motor and rolls along the rack guide 33, thereby driving the motor and the connected massage airbag 2 to move in the opposite direction of the extension direction of the rack guide 33. Among them, the massage airbag 2 moves within the guiding space 10.

[0057] It should be noted that the rack guide 33 is arranged along the extension direction of the guiding space 10. The rack guide 33 can be located inside or outside the guiding space 10. Correspondingly, the actuator and the transmission gear 32 of the actuating device 3 can be arranged inside or outside the guiding space 10. The shape of the rack guide 33 matches the extension shape of the guiding space 10. Therefore, when the guiding space 10 is set as Figure 2 shown or as Figure 3 shown or in shapes such as "冂", "凵", etc., the rack guide 33 is correspondingly set to a trajectory adapted to these shapes to ensure that the transmission gear 32 can move smoothly along the rack guide 33 and drive the massage airbag 2 to move in the guiding space 10 along the preset direction. That is, by adjusting the shape of the rack guide 33, the actuating device 3 including the actuator, the transmission gear 32 and the rack guide 33 can drive the massage airbag 2 to move within the guiding space 10 of different extension spaces.

[0058] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 In another preferred embodiment, the actuator is magnetically connected to the massage airbag 2. Among them, one of the massage airbag 2 and the actuator is provided with a permanent magnet 34, and the other is provided with a magnetic element 35. In one example, the permanent magnet 34 is arranged on the massage airbag 2, and the magnetic element 35 is arranged on the actuator. The magnetic element 35 is magnetically connected to the permanent magnet 34 to realize the connection between the actuator and the massage airbag 2; and when the rack guide 33 is located outside the flexible container 1, the permanent magnet 34 can be arranged inside the guiding space 10, and the magnetic element 35 is located outside the guiding space 10, so that the actuator can be connected to the massage airbag 2 without piercing through the flexible container 1. In another example, the permanent magnet 34 is arranged on the actuator, and the magnetic element 35 is arranged on the massage airbag 2. The magnetic element 35 is magnetically connected to the permanent magnet 34 to realize the connection between the actuator and the massage airbag 2, and when the rack guide 33 is located outside the flexible container 1, the magnetic element 35 can be arranged inside the guiding space 10, and the permanent magnet 34 is located outside the guiding space 10.

[0059] It should be noted that the permanent magnet 34 can be made of various types of magnetic materials, including but not limited to alloy permanent magnet materials such as neodymium iron boron (NdFeB), samarium cobalt (SmCo), and aluminum nickel cobalt (AlNiCo). The magnetic element 35 can be a magnet made of soft magnetic material or an alloy containing magnetic metallic elements such as iron, cobalt, and nickel.

[0060] The magnetic connection between the actuator and the massage air bag 2 is not limited to the methods described above; other methods are also possible. For example, one of the actuator and the massage air bag 2 may be equipped with an electromagnet, and the other with a permanent magnet or magnetic element. The magnetic connection and disconnection between the electromagnet and the permanent magnet or magnetic element can be achieved by controlling the on / off state of the current. Alternatively, one of the actuator and the massage air bag 2 may be equipped with an electromagnetic coil, and the other with a metallic magnetic conductor, utilizing the principle of electromagnetic induction to achieve the magnetic connection.

[0061] In some embodiments, the actuator is provided with a vibrator (not shown), which is connected to the massage air bag 2. When the massage air bag 2 is inflated and squeezed for massage, the vibrator can be used to drive the actuator and the massage air bag 2 to vibrate, thereby realizing the vibration massage function. This allows the massage system 100 to not only provide squeezing massage through the inflation and movement of the massage air bag 2, but also to increase the effect of vibration massage through the vibrator, further enriching the massage experience and meeting the needs of different users.

[0062] The vibrator can be configured as an eccentric motor or other mechanical device capable of generating vibration, and its vibration frequency and intensity can be adjusted according to user preferences.

[0063] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the vibrator may be disposed on the massage air bag 2, and the vibrator directly drives the massage air bag 2 to vibrate.

[0064] For the gas distribution device 4 mentioned above, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the gas distribution device 4 is a valve assembly, including a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is provided with an air inlet, an inflation port, and a deflation port. The air inlet is connected to the gas source 5, the inflation port is connected to the gas in the massage air bag 2, and the deflation port is connected to the outside gas. There can be one or more solenoid valves, with each solenoid valve connected to one massage air bag 2. When there are multiple solenoid valves, they can provide independent gas control for each of the multiple massage air bags 2. The multiple solenoid valves can be assembled and connected together or formed as a single unit. The air inlets of the multiple solenoid valves can be centrally connected to the gas source 5 through an air inlet pipe 41, achieving unified air intake management. The gas distribution device 4, configured as a single valve assembly, can provide gas distribution and control functions for multiple massage air bags 2. Furthermore, through this valve assembly, multiple massage air bags 2 share a single gas source 5, effectively simplifying the structure and gas management of the massage system 100.

[0065] In other embodiments, the gas distribution device 4 may be a fluid oscillator.

[0066] For gas source 5 mentioned above, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 In some embodiments, the air source 5 may be an air pump, such as a diaphragm pump or a plunger pump, which is connected to the air inlet pipe 41 to provide a stable airflow to the massage system 100. In other embodiments, the air source 5 may be an air compressor.

[0067] In some embodiments, the gas distribution device 4 and the gas source 5 can be integrated into a single structure.

[0068] The massage system 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a flexible container 1 with a guide space 10 and an actuator 3. The massage air bag 2 can move within the guide space 10 under the drive of the actuator 3, so that the position of the massage air bag 2 can be adjusted and changed, so as to achieve precise massage at different points, improve the flexibility of the massage system 100, diversify the massage modes of the massage system 100, and expand the massage application range of the massage system 100.

[0069] This invention also provides a massage device 200, which is equipped with the massage system 100 described above. For other specific structures and functions of the massage system 100, please refer to the above embodiments, and they will not be repeated here.

[0070] It is understood that the massage device 200 includes, but is not limited to, massage chairs, massage cushions, and massage mattresses. Furthermore, the aforementioned massage system 100 can be installed in the seat cushion, backrest, and sides, preferably in the backrest.

[0071] It is understandable that one or more massage systems 100 as described above can be set on the massage device 200. When there are multiple massage systems 100, the spatial layout and position settings between the multiple massage systems 100 can be adjusted as needed. The multiple massage systems 100 can be controlled independently or in conjunction with each other.

[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6The massage device 200 is equipped with two sets of massage systems 100, each set of massage systems 100 having a flexible container 1. The two flexible containers 1 are symmetrically arranged to provide a more balanced and comprehensive massage experience. The guide space 10 extends straight and is configured to include only straight sections. One massage air bag 2 is provided in one guide space 10, and optionally, multiple massage air bags 2 can be provided in one guide space 10. The actuation device 3 is configured to include an actuator and a traction belt 31. The actuation device 3 can also be configured to include an actuator, a transmission gear 32, and a rack and pinion guide rail 33. The two sets of massage systems 100 can share the same air source 5 for air supply, or each can use two separate air sources 5 for air supply; and the two sets of massage systems 100 can share the same gas distribution device 4 for gas distribution, or each can use two separate gas distribution devices 4 for gas distribution.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 The massage device 200 is equipped with two sets of massage systems 100, each set of massage systems 100 having a flexible container 1. The two flexible containers 1 are symmetrically arranged. The guide space 10 of each flexible container 1 is configured to include a straight section and a curved section 102. The curved section 102 extends from the straight section 101, bends in an annular shape, and terminates on the side wall of the straight section 101. A massage air bag 2 is disposed in one guide space 10, and optionally, multiple massage air bags 2 can be disposed in one guide space 10. The actuation device 3 is configured to include a brake, a transmission gear 32, and a rack and pinion guide rail 33. The two sets of massage systems 100 can share the same air source 5 for air supply, or each can use two separate air sources 5 for air supply; and the two sets of massage systems 100 can share the same gas distribution device 4 for gas distribution, or each can use two separate gas distribution devices 4 for gas distribution.

[0074] It should be noted that in the above-described massage device embodiments, each massage air bag 2 is independent of each other, and is respectively equipped with a corresponding actuator 3 and driven to move by the corresponding actuator 3. Furthermore, when the gas distribution device 4 is selected as a valve assembly, each massage air bag 2 is controlled by a solenoid valve for inflation and deflation. In some embodiments, the two flexible containers 2 of the massage system 100 can be arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically, and can also be arranged in any direction, such as laterally or longitudinally. The number of flexible containers 2 can be set according to actual needs, and can be one or more.

[0075] The massage device 200 provided in this embodiment of the invention, equipped with the aforementioned massage system 100, can flexibly adjust the position of the massage airbag 2 according to the user's real-time massage needs to provide precise point massage. The sliding massage of the massage airbag 2 in the guide space 10 and the precise point massage provide a good biomimetic massage effect. Furthermore, by controlling the movement trajectory of the massage airbag 2 in the guide space 10 of the flexible container 1, and by controlling the inflation and deflation of the massage airbag 2, a variety of massage modes can be achieved.

[0076] Furthermore, the massage device 200 of the present invention can achieve a variety of massage modes and timely and precise massage at different points based on a single air bag, and is low in cost and simple in structure, avoiding the cumbersome and high-cost structural settings of multiple air bags, multiple air valves and multiple air tubes on the massage device 200.
