Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0055] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 This application discloses a massage assembly 100, including a massage housing 1, a connector 2, and a deformable component 3. The massage housing 1 has an installation space 1a and a mounting hole 1b communicating with the installation space 1a. The connector 2 is movably inserted through the mounting hole 1b and partially located within the installation space 1a. The deformable component 3 is also located within the installation space 1a and connected to the inner wall of the massage housing 1, and is also connected to the connector 2. The deformable component 3 is configured to deform when the massage housing 1 is subjected to an external force, causing the massage housing 1 to float relative to the connector 2.

[0057] Neck and shoulder massagers in related technologies typically have two massage heads, positioned along the circumference of the neck on both sides. Because the positions of the two massage heads on the massager are relatively fixed, when the massager is worn, the width of the massage heads along the circumference of the neck may not be compatible with the width of the neck.

[0058] The massage component 100 of this application, by providing a deformation component 3 inside the massage housing 1, allows the massage housing 1 of the massage component 100 to float relative to the connecting member 2 when it comes into contact with the human neck and is subjected to the squeezing force of the human neck. Because the deformation component 3 can deform, the massage housing 1 can float relative to the connecting member 2 when subjected to external force. In this way, the massage housings 1 of the two massage components 100 can open along the circumferential direction of the human neck, allowing the massage component 100 to adapt to the dimensions of the human neck, thereby effectively conforming to the shape of the human neck, improving wearing comfort, and resulting in a better wearing effect.

[0059] It is understood that, considering that the massage component 100 is used to massage the human shoulder and neck area, the massage housing 1 of the massage component 100 may include, but is not limited to, a spherical massage housing or a cylindrical massage housing.

[0060] Optionally, the deformable component 3 may be, but is not limited to, rubber, silicone, sponge, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations.

[0061] To prevent excessive floating of the massage housing 1 during use, in some embodiments, the massage housing 1 has a first protrusion 11 at the mounting hole 1b, and a gap exists between the first protrusion 11 and the outer periphery of the connector 2 along a first direction. That is, the first protrusion 11 is located at the mounting hole 1b and extends towards the connector 2, thereby reducing the diameter of the mounting hole 1b and thus reducing the range of motion of the connector 2 within the mounting space 1a, thereby reducing the floating amplitude of the connector 2. For example, when the massage housing 1 floats relative to the connector 2, the portion of the connector 2 located at the mounting hole 1b abuts against the first protrusion 11 on the massage housing 1, and the connector 2 moves within the mounting space 1a with the first protrusion 11 as a fulcrum, thereby reducing the range of motion of the connector 2 relative to the massage housing 1 within the mounting space 1a.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 Optionally, the connector 2 is provided with a second protrusion 21 corresponding to the mounting hole 1b, and there is a gap between the second protrusion 21 and the massage housing 1 along the first direction. That is, this application can also provide a second protrusion 21 on the massage housing 1 corresponding to the mounting hole 1b on the connector 2, so as to restrict the movement of the connector 2 in the installation space 1a without changing the diameter of the mounting hole 1b, and avoid the massage housing 1 floating too much relative to the connector 2, so that the massage housing 1 cannot make good contact with the massage part of the human body when it comes into contact with the human body. For example, when the massage housing 1 floats relative to the connector 2, the second protrusion 21 on the connector 2 abuts against the massage housing 1 at the mounting hole 1b. The second protrusion 21 blocks part of the mounting hole 1b, reducing the movement space of the connector 2 at the mounting hole 1b. The connector 2 floats relative to the massage housing 1 in the installation space 1a with the second protrusion 21 as the fulcrum.

[0063] It should be noted that, in Figure 2 In the example, the direction indicated by X can be the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b, and the direction indicated by Y can be the first direction, which intersects with the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b. When the connector 2 is a rotating shaft, the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b can be the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the first direction can be the radial direction of the rotating shaft.

[0064] Optionally, while the massage housing 1 has a first protrusion 11 corresponding to the mounting hole 1b, the connector 2 has a second protrusion 21 corresponding to the mounting hole 1b. In the first direction, there is a gap D between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21. That is, by providing the first protrusion 11 on the massage housing 1 and the second protrusion 21 on the connector 2, the diameter of the mounting hole 1b is further reduced by the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21, thereby limiting the movement space of the connector 2 within the mounting hole 1b and restricting the relative floating of the connector 2 relative to the massage housing 1 within the mounting space 1a. For example, when the massage housing 1 floats relative to the connector 2, the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 connect along the first direction, blocking most of the mounting hole 1b to leave a gap for the connector 2 to move within. Thus, even with the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 blocking most of the mounting hole 1b, the massage housing 1 can still effectively float relative to the connector 2.

[0065] Optionally, when the massage housing 1 is provided with a first protrusion 11 and the connector 2 is provided with a second protrusion 21, the width of the gap between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 can be 0.1mm to 0.5mm, specifically 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, and 0.5mm, etc. That is, the width of the gap can also be 0.1mm to 0.3mm, 0.2mm to 0.4mm, or 0.3mm to 0.5mm, etc. In other words, the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 block part of the mounting hole 1b to limit the movement space of the connector 2 at the mounting hole 1b, thereby making the movement range of the connector 2 smaller when it moves within the mounting space 1a, so as to avoid the massage housing 1 floating too much relative to the connector 2, which would cause the massage housing 1 to float too much when it comes into contact with the human body, resulting in poor contact with the massage area of ​​the human body.

[0066] Furthermore, considering that when the massage housing 1 floats relative to the connector 2, the second protrusion 21 on the connector 2 may disengage from the mounting hole 1b, potentially causing the second protrusion 21 to fail to contact the first protrusion 11 on the massage housing 1, in some embodiments, the second protrusion 21 is at least partially located in the mounting hole 1b, and the second protrusion 21 has a first surface 21a along a first direction, on which the first protrusion 11 is at least partially projected. For example, when the massage housing 1 floats relative to the connector 2, the second protrusion 21 can not only move along the first direction to contact the first protrusion 11, but also move along the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b. If the contact length between the second protrusion 21 and the first protrusion 11 along the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b is insufficient, the second protrusion 21 may disengage from the first protrusion 11 when moving along the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b. In this application, the second protrusion 21 is at least partially located in the mounting hole 1b and the first protrusion 11 is at least partially projected onto the first surface of the second protrusion 21. That is, the second protrusion 21 can always maintain contact with the first protrusion 11 in the mounting hole 1b, thereby preventing the second protrusion 21 from disengaging from the first protrusion 11 when the massage housing 1 floats relative to the connector 2, thus avoiding the situation of limit failure.

[0067] Optionally, the projected length L of the first protrusion 11 on the first surface along the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b can be 1mm to 5mm. Specifically, it can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm, etc. That is to say, the projected length of the first protrusion 11 on the first surface along the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b can also be 1mm to 3mm, 2mm to 4mm, and 3mm to 5mm, etc. In other words, the projected length of the first protrusion 11 on the first surface of the second protrusion 21 is also the contact length between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 when they are in contact. This application increases the contact length between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21. When the first protrusion 11 moves relative to the second protrusion 21 along the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b, the sufficient contact length between the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 can prevent the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 from failing to make contact, thereby preventing the first protrusion 11 and the second protrusion 21 from failing to limit their position when the massage housing 1 floats relative to the connector 2.

[0068] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, the connector 2 includes a shaft 22 and a bearing 23. The shaft 22 passes through the mounting hole 1b, and the bearing 23 is located within the mounting space 1a and sleeved on the outer periphery of the shaft 22. The bearing 23 is connected to the deformation component 3. Specifically, the deformation component 3 covers the outer periphery of the bearing 23. It is understood that the shaft 22 and the bearing 23 cooperate to allow the shaft 22 to rotate relative to the bearing 23. In this application, the deformation component 3 is connected to the massage housing 1, and the bearing 23 is connected to the deformation component 3. That is, when the bearing 23 rotates relative to the shaft 22, the deformation component 3 and the massage housing 1 can rotate relative to the shaft 22. In this way, the massage housing 1 itself can float relative to the connector 2, and the massage housing 1 can also rotate relative to the connector 2. The movement mode of the massage assembly 100 is more diverse, which is beneficial to improving the massage effect of the massage assembly 100 during massage.

[0069] To ensure effective connection between the bearing 23 and the deformation component 3, optionally, the deformation component 3 has a first engaging portion 31 on the side facing the bearing 23, and the bearing 23 has a second engaging portion 231 corresponding to the first engaging portion 31. The first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 231 are connected in a cooperative manner; one of the first engaging portion 31 and the second engaging portion 231 is a protrusion, and the other is a recess. To ensure that the bearing 23 can effectively drive the deformation component 3 to rotate relative to the shaft 22, the first engaging portion 31 engages with the second engaging portion 231 to prevent relative movement between the first engaging portion 31 and the bearing 23. In some examples, the deformation component 3 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bearing 23. On the inner surface of the deformation component 3 that contacts the bearing 23, the first engaging portion 31 is arranged around this inner surface, and the second engaging portion 231 is arranged around the outer periphery of the bearing 23 to correspond to the first engaging portion 31. In other examples, the deformable component 3 is provided with multiple first engaging portions 31, and the bearing 23 is provided with multiple second engaging portions 231, with each first engaging portion 31 engaging with each second engaging portion 231. The first engaging portion 31 may be a protrusion and the second engaging portion 231 a recess, or vice versa, where the first engaging portion 31 is a recess and the second engaging portion 231 is a protrusion. This interlocking connection effectively prevents relative rotation between the deformable component 3 and the bearing 23.

[0070] Please see Figure 2In some embodiments, the massage housing 1 is provided with an anti-collision part 12, which is located in the mounting space 1a and extends along the axial direction of the bearing 23. The anti-collision part 12 is configured to prevent the shaft 22 from contacting the inner wall surface of the massage housing 1 along the axial direction of the bearing 23. Since the connector 2 can move along the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b, in order to avoid the shaft 22 of the connector 2 from directly contacting the inner wall surface of the massage housing 1 during its movement, this application provides an anti-collision part 12 on the inner wall surface of the massage housing 1. Thus, during the movement of the shaft 22, the shaft 22 contacts the anti-collision part 12 and cannot directly contact the inner wall surface of the massage housing 1, thereby preventing damage to the massage housing 1 by the shaft 22.

[0071] It is understandable that the opening direction of mounting hole 1b is the same as the axial direction of bearing 23. Figure 2 In the examples, X is used to indicate.

[0072] Optionally, the anti-collision part 12 opens toward the bearing 23 to form an anti-collision space 12a. The shaft 22 has a connecting hole 22a along the axial direction of the bearing 23. The connecting hole 22a is configured to be fastened to a fastener (not shown) so that the fastener restricts the movement of the bearing 23 in the axial direction. The fastener corresponds to the opening of the anti-collision space 12a in the axial direction. On the one hand, when the shaft 22 moves in the axial direction, the anti-collision space 12a of the anti-collision part 12 can provide a buffer for the shaft 22, preventing the shaft 22 from directly contacting the inner wall surface of the massage housing 1, which could potentially damage the shaft 22 and the massage housing 1. On the other hand, to prevent the shaft 22 from disengaging from the bearing 23 during movement, the bearing 23 is limited to the shaft 22 by the fastener, preventing the bearing 23 from moving toward the anti-collision part 12 and also preventing the bearing 23 from moving toward the massage housing 1.

[0073] Please see Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 Since the massage housing 1 is a hollow housing with an installation space 1a, in some embodiments, to prevent the massage housing 1 from being damaged by excessive force during massage, the deformable component 3 is at least partially attached to the massage housing 1 to support it. Exemplarily, the deformable component 3 fills the installation space 1a so that it provides complete support to the inner wall of the massage housing 1. In this application, the deformable component 3 is attached to the inner wall of the massage housing 1, allowing the massage housing 1 to unload some of the external force through the deformation of the deformable component 3 when deformed, preventing damage due to excessive force. Furthermore, the massage housing 1 can partially deform along with the deformable component 3 during deformation, allowing for better contact with the human skin when in contact with the body, thus improving the massage effect.

[0074] It is understandable that the deformable component 3 filling the installation space means that the entire outer peripheral surface of the deformable component 3 is directly attached to the inner wall surface of the massage housing 1, that is, the deformable component 3 is approximately close to or completely supports the inner wall surface of the entire massage housing 1.

[0075] For example, as mentioned above, the massage housing 1 is generally a spherical housing, that is, the inner wall surface of the massage housing 1 is a spherical surface. Based on this, in order to better support the massage housing 1, the deformable component 3 is also generally a spherical structure, that is, the deformable component 3 can be generally a rubber ball.

[0076] Optionally, the deformable component 3 has multiple hollow portions 32 arranged around the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b, with each hollow portion 32 spaced apart. This application provides multiple hollow portions 32 on the deformable component 3, each hollow portion 32 providing deformation space for the deformable component 3, and the intervals between the hollow portions 32 providing support for the massage housing 1. This allows the deformable component 3 to maintain good support for the massage housing 1 while also having a good deformation effect. For example, the deformable component 3 is a solid rubber sphere with a connecting channel 3a inside, communicating with the mounting hole 1b. The connector 2 passes through the connecting channel 3a, and multiple hollow portions 32 are arranged sequentially and spaced apart around the connecting channel 3a. These hollow portions 32 may penetrate the deformable component 3 along the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b or not.

[0077] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the massage housing 1 includes a first housing 13 and a second housing 14. The first housing 13 has a mounting hole 1b, and the second housing 14 is connected to the first housing 13, forming a mounting space 1a together with the first housing 13. The first housing 13 has a first fastening portion 13a on the side facing the second housing 14 along the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b. The second housing 14 has a second fastening portion 14a corresponding to the first fastening portion 13a. The first fastening portion 13a engages with the second fastening portion 14a, so that the first housing 13 is snapped onto the first housing 13. One of the first fastening portion 13a and the second fastening portion 14a is a protrusion, and the other is a recess. This application forms the massage housing 1 by mounting the second housing 14 onto the first housing 13. On one hand, the first shell 13 is installed on the connector 2 through the mounting hole 1b, and the deformation component 3 is located on the outer periphery of the connector 2. Then, the second shell 14 is fastened to the first shell 13, so that the connector 2 and the deformation component 3 are installed in the installation space 1a, which facilitates the installation of the massage shell 1, the deformation component 3 and the connector 2. On the other hand, the connection between the first fastening part 13a and the second fastening part 14a adopts a concave-convex fit connection, and the convex and concave parts of both can be extended accordingly, thereby extending the installation gap between them, which is beneficial to improving the waterproof and sweatproof effect of the massage shell 1 on its internal components.

[0078] Please see Figure 3 Optionally, as described above, the massage housing 1 is a spherical housing, and both the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 are hemispherical, wherein the radius of the first housing 13 along the first direction is smaller than the radius of the second housing 14. Exemplarily, the second engaging portion 14a of the second housing 14 is a protrusion, and the first engaging portion 13a of the first housing 13 is a concave portion. Because the radius of the second housing 14 is larger, it is necessary to compress the second housing 14 to produce partial deformation so that the second engaging portion 14a aligns with the first engaging portion 13a, allowing the second engaging portion 14a to be inserted into the first engaging portion 13a. In this way, when the second engaging portion 14a connects with the first engaging portion 13a, there is not only the force of engagement along the opening direction of the mounting hole 1b, but also the force of the second engaging portion 14a abutting against the first engaging portion 13a when the second housing 14 recovers its deformation, making the connection between the second engaging portion 14a and the first engaging portion 13a tighter.

[0079] To further enhance the waterproof effect, optionally, a sealant is provided at the connection between the first fastening part 13a and the second fastening part 14a. This application uses the sealant to seal the installation gap between the first fastening part 13a and the second fastening part 14a, thereby blocking the water ingress path of the massage housing 1 and improving the waterproof effect of the massage housing 1.

[0080] To enhance the massage effect of the massage component 100, in some embodiments, the massage housing 1 has a massage surface 1c, which is a diamond-cut facet. It is understood that the diamond-cut facet has multiple prismatic protrusions. Exemplarily, the massage surface 1c is covered with multiple prismatic protrusions. When the massage surface 1c contacts the human body, with the rolling and floating massage of the massage housing 1, the multiple prismatic protrusions can press on the massage area of ​​the human body, thereby achieving a better massage effect.

[0081] Optionally, the massage surface 1c may also be provided with protrusions in the shape of columns, cones, etc., which are not specifically limited in this application.

[0082] Please see Figure 3 To further enhance the massage effect of the massage component 100, in some embodiments, the connector 2 includes a connecting main body 24 and multiple shafts 22. Each shaft 22 is connected to the connecting main body 24, and each massage housing 1 is connected to a massage shell 1. Each massage housing 1 is provided with a deformation component 3. This application adds multiple massage housings 1, thereby increasing the massage areas of the massage component 100 on the human body, thus improving the massage effect of the massage component 100. For example, the connecting main body 24 serves as the main trunk of the massage component 100, and each shaft 22 serves as a branch of the main trunk. Bearings 23, deformation components 3, and massage housings 1 are then provided on the shafts 22. The number of shafts 22 can be two, three, four, etc., and this application does not specifically limit the number.

[0083] Considering that the massage area is concentrated during massage, optionally, multiple shafts 22 are arranged sequentially along the axis 24a of the connecting main body 24, with each shaft 22 located on both sides of the axis 24a. Specifically, each shaft 22 is connected to the connecting main body 24, and each shaft 22 has a different orientation. When the massage component 100 contacts the human body, the massage housing 1 on each shaft 22 contacts different parts of the human body. This makes the massage experience of the massage component 100 more comprehensive. In one example, there are two shafts 22, arranged on both sides of the connecting main body 24, parallel to each other and facing opposite directions. In another example, there are two shafts 22, arranged on both sides of the connecting main body 24, facing opposite directions and tilted towards each other, so that the shafts 22 are angled relative to the connecting main body 24.

[0084] Secondly, please see Figure 4 This application also discloses a neck and shoulder massager 200, including a main unit 201 and a massage component 100 as disclosed in the first aspect, wherein the massage component 100 is disposed on the skin-proximal side 200a of the main unit 201. By disposing the massage component 100 on the skin-proximal side 200a of the main unit 201 of the neck and shoulder massager 200, this application enables the main unit 201 of the neck and shoulder massager 200 to effectively conform to the neck and shoulder area when worn, resulting in a better wearing effect.

[0085] It is understandable that the aforementioned skin-closer side 200a refers to the side or side of the main unit 201 of the shoulder and neck massager 200 that is closest to the human body when the shoulder and neck massager 200 is worn on the human shoulder and neck.

[0086] In some embodiments, there are multiple massage components 100, with at least two massage components 100 spaced apart along a second direction. The second direction can be the longitudinal direction of the main unit 201, and when the neck and shoulder massager 200 is worn on the neck and shoulder area, the second direction is also the direction in which the neck wraps around the body. On one hand, having multiple massage components 100 on the main unit 201 helps to increase the massage effect of the neck and shoulder massager 200. On the other hand, when the neck and shoulder massager 200 is worn on the neck and shoulder area, at least two massage components 100 are positioned on either side of the neck to hold it in place, allowing the massager to fit more snugly on the neck and shoulder area.

[0087] It should be noted that, in Figure 4 In the example, Z indicates the second direction.

[0088] Please see Figure 4Optionally, the neck and shoulder massager 200 also includes a drive mechanism (not shown), which is disposed within the main unit 201 and connected to at least two massage components 100. The drive mechanism is configured to drive the two massage components 100 to move closer to or further away from each other in a second direction. For example, when the neck and shoulder massager 200 is worn on the neck and shoulder area, the two massage components 100 clamp the neck when they are close together, and relax the neck when they are far apart. This cycle of movement prevents the neck and shoulder massager 200 from being held in place for extended periods, thus avoiding discomfort and providing a better relaxation effect, thereby enhancing the massage efficacy.

[0089] Please see Figure 5 (a) In some embodiments, the massage component 100 has a first end 100a and a second end 100b. The first end 100a is connected to a drive mechanism. Along a plane perpendicular to the second direction, the distance between the two first ends 100a of at least two massage components 100 in the second direction gradually increases to the distance between the two second ends 100b in the second direction. Specifically, the two massage components 100 are arranged in a "V" shape, which is beneficial for the two massage components 100 to be clamped on the part of the human neck with a larger dimension.

[0090] Alternatively, the two massage components 100 can also be arranged in parallel, such as... Figure 5 (b) Alternatively, the first ends 100a are positioned apart from each other along the second direction, and the second ends 100b are positioned facing each other along the second direction, such as... Figure 5 (c). That is, the two massage components 100 are arranged in a reverse figure-eight pattern, so that the massage housings 1 of the two massage components 100 can concentrate on one massage area for massage.

[0091] Please see again Figure 4In some embodiments, the neck and shoulder massager 200 further includes at least two auxiliary massage structures 202. These at least two auxiliary massage structures 202 are located on the skin-proximal side 200a and are spaced apart along a second direction. Along a third direction upwards, the auxiliary massage structures 202 correspond to and are spaced apart from the massage components 100. The third direction can be the width direction of the main unit 201. This application provides auxiliary massage structures 202 such that each auxiliary massage structure 202 corresponds one-to-one with each massage component 100. In a first example, when the neck and shoulder massager 200 is worn on the neck and shoulder area, the massage components 100 can massage the neck, and the auxiliary massage structures 202 can assist the massage components 100 in massaging the areas surrounding the neck. In a second example, the massage components 100 can massage the shoulders, and the auxiliary massage structures 202 can assist the massage components 100 in massaging the areas surrounding the shoulders. In the third example, when the massage component 100 massages the neck, the auxiliary massage structure 202 can massage the shoulders; when the massage component 100 massages the shoulders, the auxiliary massage structure 202 can massage the neck. In this way, when the massage component 100 massages the neck and shoulders, the auxiliary massage structure 202 assists the massage component 100 in its massage, thereby enhancing the massage effect of the neck and shoulder massager 200.

[0092] It should be noted that, in Figure 4 In the example, the direction indicated by P is the third direction, which intersects with the second direction.

[0093] The massage components and neck and shoulder massagers disclosed in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the massage components and neck and shoulder massagers of this application and their core ideas. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
