Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ear massage device technology, specifically an ear acupressure massager with sleep aid function. Background Technology

[0002] Auricular acupressure, an important branch of traditional Chinese medicine therapy, effectively regulates the autonomic nervous system, soothes emotions, and reduces the excitability of the cerebral cortex by stimulating acupoints on the auricle related to calming the mind and regulating nerves (such as Shenmen, Zhen, Xin, Pihuai, and Jiaosun). This improves sleep quality and is widely used in sleep aid settings. Currently, some auricular acupressure devices have replaced traditional manual massage methods, automating and standardizing auricular acupressure stimulation.

[0003] However, some existing ear acupressure massagers use only one massage method, mainly applying pressure to ear acupoints through common methods such as massage sticks or vibrators. This limited massage method restricts the overall sleep-aiding massage effect. In addition, some existing ear acupressure massagers may cause pressure on the ears or discomfort when worn, affecting sleep and massage effectiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an ear acupressure massager with sleep-aid function, which solves the technical problems of existing massagers having limited functions and easily compressing the ears, thus affecting sleep and massage effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An ear acupressure massager with sleep-aid function includes a headrest with a pair of earmuffs connected by an arc-shaped connector. The arc-shaped connector is elastic. An adjustment mechanism for adjusting the initial distance of the earmuffs is connected to the arc-shaped connector. Several massage components are provided within the earmuffs. Each massage component includes a connecting cylinder fixedly connected within the earmuffs. A massage rod is slidably connected within the connecting cylinder. One end of the massage rod is connected to a massage ball. The end of the massage rod away from the massage ball is connected to a connecting ring adapted to the inner diameter of the connecting cylinder. A spring connects the connecting ring to the end wall of the connecting cylinder. The massage ball... The massage stick has a through-flow channel inside; the headrest has a first syringe, a second syringe, a liquid storage box, and a driving component. The air outlet of the first syringe is connected to the end of the connecting cylinder away from the massage ball. The second syringe has an inlet and an outlet, with the outlet connected to the flow channel and the inlet connected to the liquid storage box. Both the inlet and the outlet are equipped with one-way valves. The one-way valve at the outlet controls the fluid to flow unidirectionally from the second syringe to the flow channel, and the one-way valve at the inlet controls the fluid to flow unidirectionally from the liquid storage box to the second syringe. The driving component is used to drive the piston rods of the first syringe and the second syringe to reciprocate.

[0007] Further, the driving member includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the headrest. An eccentric cam is firmly connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is connected to a motor. The eccentric cam slidably abuts against the pistons of the first syringe and the second syringe.

[0008] Further, a "convex" - shaped annular groove is provided on the annular flange of the eccentric cam. The pistons of the first syringe and the second syringe are connected to a push plate. The push plate is slidably connected to the headrest along the axial directions of the first syringe and the second syringe. The push plate is connected to a "convex" - shaped slider, and the slider is slidably disposed in the annular groove.

[0009] Further, the liquid storage box is provided with a temperature - maintaining device.

[0010] Further, a rigid box body is embedded behind the headrest. The liquid storage box, the temperature - maintaining device, the rotating shaft, the eccentric cam, the motor, the first syringe, and the second syringe are all disposed inside the rigid box body.

[0011] Further, the adjusting member includes an internally - threaded tube and an externally - threaded rod connected by threads. The two ends of the arc - shaped connecting member are respectively connected to L - shaped connecting rods. The free end of the externally - threaded rod is rotatably connected to one L - shaped connecting rod, and the free end of the internally - threaded tube is rotatably connected to the other L - shaped connecting rod.

[0012] Further, a light - shielding member is connected between the two L - shaped connecting rods.

[0013] Further, the massage ball is a magnetic bead.

[0014] Further, the bottom wall of the earcup is provided with a first cavity and a second cavity that are not connected to each other. The first cavity is respectively connected to the connecting tube and the air outlet of the first syringe. A conduit is connected inside the first cavity. One end of the conduit is sleeved inside the flow channel, and the other end of the conduit is connected to the second cavity. The second cavity is connected to the outlet of the second syringe.

[0015] Further, a soft support pad is connected to the outer edge of the earcup.

[0016] The principle and beneficial effects of the technical solution are:

[0017] 1. This invention provides an ear acupressure massager with sleep-aid function, comprising a headrest that serves as a comfortable pillow for the user to rest against while sleeping, and also accommodates components such as a first syringe, a second syringe, a liquid reservoir, and a drive mechanism, making it easy to store and carry. The headrest has a pair of earmuffs connected by an arc-shaped connector. The arc-shaped connector is elastic; during use, the earmuffs are placed over the ears and secured with the arc-shaped connector, similar to headphones. The arc-shaped connector is connected to an adjustment mechanism, which allows the user to adjust the size of the earmuffs by opening or closing the two ends of the arc-shaped connector according to their head circumference. The adjustment mechanism adjusts the initial distance between the two earcups, allowing for control over the clamping force of the curved connector on the earcups. This prevents excessive or insufficient clamping force, which could compress the ears or negatively impact sleep and massage. It is also suitable for various user groups, offering broad applicability. For example, if a user has a large head circumference, the adjustment mechanism can be used to pre-open the curved connector to prevent excessive pressure on the ears or discomfort, thus ensuring a better sleep and massage experience. Conversely, if a user has a small head circumference and the curved connector's elasticity is insufficient to secure the earcups, the adjustment mechanism can be used to close the connector closer, increasing the clamping force.

[0018] The earmuffs contain several massage components, including a connecting cylinder fixedly connected inside the earmuffs. A massage stick is slidably connected inside the connecting cylinder, with a massage ball attached to one end of the massage stick. The massage ball is located outside the connecting cylinder and is used to massage acupoints on the ear. A connecting ring, matching the inner diameter of the connecting cylinder, is connected to the end of the massage stick away from the massage ball, serving as a guide and seal, similar to the sliding piston of a syringe. A spring connects the connecting ring to the end wall of the connecting cylinder. External force drives the massage stick, carrying the massage ball, to slide axially along the connecting cylinder. The spring assists in resetting the massage stick and provides cushioning. Specifically, the massage ball and massage stick have a through-flow channel. The headrest contains a first syringe, a second syringe, a reservoir, and a drive mechanism. The air outlet of the first syringe is connected to the end of the connecting cylinder away from the massage ball. In practical application, the drive mechanism pushes the piston rod of the first syringe, injecting gas into the syringe, pushing the massage ball outward and compressing the spring. The drive mechanism then pulls the piston rod again, extracting the gas, thus creating a cycle to massage acupoints on the ear. During the massage, the spring acts as a buffer and assists in the reset of the massage ball. Furthermore, the second syringe has an inlet and an outlet, with the outlet connected to the flow channel and the inlet connected to the reservoir. Both the inlet and outlet are equipped with one-way valves. The one-way valve at the outlet controls the unidirectional flow of fluid from the second syringe to the flow channel, while the one-way valve at the inlet controls the unidirectional flow of fluid from the reservoir to the second syringe. In practical applications, the driving component also drives the piston rod of the second syringe to reciprocate, drawing tranquilizing essential oil or traditional Chinese medicine liquid from the reservoir and pushing it into the flow channel, from where it flows out from the massage ball to the patient's acupoints. The massage head is made of magnetic beads; during the massage, the magnetic field can enhance the inhibitory process of the cerebral cortex, improving sleep, promoting sleep onset, and prolonging sleep time. Simultaneously, it releases medication to enhance the sleep-aiding effect. The massage of the massage ball, combined with the release of medication, improves the overall sleep-aiding massage effect, and the massage of the massage ball can promote the absorption of the active ingredients of the medication. In addition, compared to vibrators or motors, it reduces noise, further enhancing the sleep-aiding effect.

[0019] 2. An auricular acupoint massager with a sleep aid function provided by the present invention. The driving member includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the headrest. An eccentric cam is firmly connected to the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is connected to a motor. The eccentric cam slidably abuts against the piston rods of the first syringe and the second syringe. When the output shaft of the motor rotates, it drives the eccentric cam to rotate. The eccentric cam intermittently pushes and pulls the piston rods, thereby realizing the release of drugs while massaging. The intensity and frequency of the massage can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of the motor. In addition, when the eccentric cam rotates, the process of pushing the piston rod of the first syringe is exactly the stage when the massage rod drives the magnetic beads to press against the auricular acupoints. At this time, the auricular skin undergoes slight deformation due to the pressure, and the pores and meridian channels are in a relaxed state. At the same time, the eccentric cam synchronously pushes the piston rod of the second syringe, and precisely pushes the constant-temperature liquid medicine through the flow channel to the acupoint being pressed. This linkage of pressing relaxation + synchronous drug delivery avoids insufficient absorption caused by premature volatilization of the drug or closure of the acupoint, allowing the active ingredients of the soothing essential oil and traditional Chinese medicine liquid to quickly penetrate, forming a synergistic conditioning with the massage stimulation. The massage ball is made of magnetic beads, and the magnetic field released during the massage process can strengthen the inhibitory process of the cerebral cortex, helping to calm the emotions and reduce the excitability. The synchronously introduced drug specifically supplements the soothing ingredients. The two act on the same acupoint at the same time. The magnetic field can promote the activity of drug molecules, and the drug amplifies the soothing effect of the magnetic field, forming a dual effect of physical regulation + chemical conditioning, which has a more significant sleep aid effect than single massage or single drug use. In addition, the linkage structure uses a single driving source of the eccentric cam to make the rhythm of massage and medicine application completely synchronous, which not only avoids the action disorder that may occur in dual driving, but also adapts to the soothing needs of the sleep scenario. Moreover, the piston rods of the first and second syringes reciprocate smoothly and rhythmically, and the pressing force and frequency of the massage rod are exactly matched with the pushing volume and speed of the liquid medicine, and there will be no situation of "insufficient liquid medicine pushing when the massage force is too large" or "massage not following up when the liquid medicine is excessive". This smooth linkage makes the stimulation received by the auricular acupoints gentle and orderly, avoiding the discomfort caused by abrupt pressing or liquid medicine impact, and is more in line with the human body's need for soothing stimulation during sleep.

[0020] The annular flange of the eccentric cam is provided with a "convex" - shaped annular groove. The piston rods of the first syringe and the second syringe are connected with a push plate. The push plate is connected with a "convex" - shaped slider. The slider is slidably arranged in the annular groove. The cooperation between the annular groove and the slider makes the connection between the piston rod and the eccentric cam reliable. The headrest is provided with a sliding groove. The push plate is connected with a convex block. The convex block is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The sliding groove guides and limits the movement of the push plate, making the process of the eccentric cam inflating the connecting cylinder along with the rotation of the rotating shaft uniform and stable, so that the massage ball can slide evenly and stably along the connecting cylinder. In addition, a rigid box body is embedded behind the headrest. The liquid storage box, the constant - temperature device, the rotating shaft, the eccentric cam, the motor, the first syringe and the second syringe are all arranged in the rigid box body, which can play a role in storage and noise isolation. And the rigid box body is embedded in the rear side of the headrest, occupying a small space and being convenient to carry.

[0021] 3. The present invention provides an ear acupressure massager with sleep-aid function. The liquid storage box is equipped with a constant temperature device, which can be an electric hand warmer, a hot water bottle, or a smart thermostat, to keep the traditional Chinese medicine liquid or calming essential oil warm, promote the absorption of the traditional Chinese medicine liquid or calming essential oil, and prevent the liquid from being too cold and irritating the user's ears. In addition, after the medicine liquid is absorbed, it can also absorb the surrounding warm air to increase the temperature at the acupoint, which can promote blood circulation, increase the absorption rate of the medicine, and further enhance the sleep-aid effect.

[0022] 4. The present invention provides an ear acupressure massager with sleep-aid function. The adjusting component includes an internally threaded tube and an externally threaded rod connected by threads. L-shaped connecting rods are connected to both ends of the arc-shaped connecting component. The externally threaded rod and the internally threaded tube are rotatably connected to the L-shaped connecting rods on both sides. In use, the distance between the two earcups can be adjusted simply by rotating the internally threaded tube. The operation is simple, and the connection is stable due to the self-locking mechanism achieved by the threads. A light-blocking component is connected between the two L-shaped connecting rods to block external light, further enhancing the sleep-aid effect. In addition, a soft support pad is connected to the outer edge of the earcups to further relieve pressure on the area around the patient's ears.

[0023] 5. This invention provides an ear acupressure massager with sleep-aid function. The bottom wall of the earcup has a first cavity and a second cavity that are not interconnected. The first cavity is connected to a connecting tube and the air outlet of a first syringe. Gas is introduced into the first cavity through the first syringe and then flows from the first cavity into several connecting tubes. A conduit is connected inside the first cavity. One end of the conduit is fitted into a flow channel so that the massage stick can slide along the axial direction of the connecting tube. The other end of the conduit passes through the bottom wall of the first cavity and is connected to the second cavity. The second cavity is connected to the outlet of the second syringe. The traditional Chinese medicine liquid or calming essential oil in the second syringe flows into the second cavity and then flows from the second cavity into several conduits and flow channels. Finally, it flows out from the massage ball to the acupoints on the user's ear. The conduit is sealed to the first cavity to isolate the first cavity and the second cavity, ensuring their respective functions and allowing the massage and drug release to proceed stably and smoothly. A speaker assembly can also be installed inside the earcup to play soothing music while massaging, further enhancing the sleep-aid effect. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an ear acupressure massager with sleep aid function includes a headrest 1, a pair of earmuffs 2, and a soft support pad 3 connected to the outer edge of the earmuffs 2. The pair of earmuffs 2 are connected by an arc-shaped connector 4, which is elastic. An adjustment component for adjusting the initial distance of the earmuffs 2 is connected to the arc-shaped connector 4. In this embodiment, the adjustment component includes an internally threaded tube 6 and an externally threaded rod 5 connected by threads. L-shaped connecting rods are connected to both ends of the arc-shaped connector 4. The free end of the externally threaded rod 5 is rotatably connected to one L-shaped connecting rod, and the free end of the internally threaded tube 6 is rotatably connected to the other L-shaped connecting rod. In addition, a light-shielding component 7 is connected between the two L-shaped connecting rods for light blocking.

[0033] The earcup 2 is provided with a plurality of massage components. The massage component includes a connecting cylinder 8 fixedly connected inside the earcup 2. A massage rod 9 is slidably connected inside the connecting cylinder 8. One end of the massage rod 9 is connected with a massage ball 12. The end of the massage rod 9 far away from the massage ball 12 is connected with a connecting ring 10 adapted to the inner diameter of the connecting cylinder 8. A spring 11 is connected between the connecting ring 10 and the end wall of the connecting cylinder 8. Among them, the massage ball 12 is a magnetic bead; a through-flow channel 13 is provided inside the massage ball 12 and the massage rod 9; the headrest 1 is provided with a first syringe 22, a second syringe 23, a liquid storage box 25 and a driving member, and the liquid storage box 25 is provided with a constant temperature device 26; the air outlet of the first syringe 22 is communicated with the end of the connecting cylinder 8 far away from the massage ball 12. The second syringe 23 is provided with an inlet and an outlet, and the outlet is communicated with the flow channel 13. The inlet is communicated with the liquid storage box 25, and one-way valves are provided at both the inlet and the outlet. The one-way valve at the outlet controls the one-way flow of the fluid from the second syringe 23 to the flow channel 13, and the one-way valve at the inlet controls the one-way flow of the fluid from the liquid storage box 25 to the second syringe 23. In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the earcup 2 is provided with a first cavity 15 and a second cavity 16 that are not communicated with each other. The first cavity 15 is respectively communicated with the connecting cylinder 8 and the air outlet of the first syringe 22; a conduit 14 is connected inside the first cavity 15. One end of the conduit 14 is sleeved inside the flow channel 13, and the other end of the conduit 14 is communicated with the second cavity 16. The second cavity 16 is communicated with the outlet of the second syringe 23;

[0034] The driving member is used to drive the pistons of the first syringe 22 and the second syringe 23 to reciprocate. Specifically, the driving member includes a rotating shaft 17 rotatably connected to the headrest 1. The rotating shaft 17 is fixedly connected with an eccentric cam 18. The rotating shaft 17 is connected with a motor 24. The motor 24 can be connected to a controller, and the controller can automatically control the running time of the motor 24. The eccentric cam 18 is in sliding abutment with the pistons of the first syringe 22 and the second syringe 23; In this embodiment, the annular flange of the eccentric cam 18 is provided with a "convex" - shaped annular groove 19. The pistons of the first syringe 22 and the second syringe 23 are connected with a push plate 21. The push plate 21 is slidably connected with the headrest 1 along the axial directions of the first syringe 22 and the second syringe 23. The push plate 21 is connected with a "convex" - shaped slider 20, and the slider 20 is slidably arranged inside the annular groove 19; In addition, a chute is opened on the headrest 1. The push plate 21 is connected with a convex block, and the convex block is slidably connected inside the chute. The chute guides and limits the movement of the push plate 21. In order to increase the portability, a rigid box body is embedded behind the headrest 1. The liquid storage box 25, the constant temperature device 26, the rotating shaft 17, the eccentric cam 18, the motor 24, the first syringe 22 and the second syringe 23 are all arranged inside the rigid box body.

[0035] The specific implementation process is as follows:

[0036] When using this massager, first rotate the inner threaded tube 6 or the outer threaded rod 5 according to the head circumference to adjust the clamping elasticity of the arc-shaped connecting piece 4 so that the two earcups 2 cover the user's ears. Fill the reservoir 25 with traditional Chinese medicine liquid or calming essential oil, and start the motor 24 and the thermostat 26. The motor 24 drives the rotating shaft 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the eccentric cam 18 to rotate. The eccentric cam 18 continuously pushes and pulls the piston rods of the first syringe 22 and the second syringe 23. The first syringe 22 causes the massage stick 9 to reciprocate within the connecting cylinder 8, thereby driving the massage ball 12 to massage the acupoints on the ears. The second syringe 23 continuously draws medicine from the reservoir 25 and maintains the thermostat. The medication flows through the catheter 14 and the channel 13 to the user's ear acupoints. The medication, combined with the magnetic bead massage, enhances the inhibitory process of the cerebral cortex during the massage, improving sleep, promoting sleep onset, and prolonging sleep time. At the same time, the medication is released to increase the sleep-aiding effect. The massage of the massage ball 12, combined with the release of the medication, improves the overall sleep-aiding massage effect, and the massage of the massage ball 12 can also promote the absorption of the active ingredients of the medication. In addition, after the medication is released, if continued massage is needed, the second syringe 23 can push the heat in the reservoir 25 to the user's ear acupoints, increasing the temperature at the acupoints, promoting blood circulation, increasing the absorption rate of the medication, and further enhancing the sleep-aiding effect.

[0037] The curved connector 4 is connected to an adjustable component. The adjustable component can be used to open or close the two ends of the curved connector 4 according to the user's head circumference, thereby adjusting the initial distance between the two earcups 2. In other words, the adjustable component can adjust the clamping force applied by the curved connector 4 to the earcups 2, avoiding excessive or insufficient force that could compress the ears or affect sleep and massage effects. It is suitable for different users and has wide applicability. For example, when the user's head circumference is large, the adjustable component can be used to open the curved connector 4 a certain distance beforehand to avoid excessive force compressing the ears or causing discomfort, thus affecting sleep and massage effects. If the user's head circumference is too small, and the elasticity of the curved connector 4 is insufficient to fix the earcups 2, the adjustable component can be used to close the curved connector 4 a certain distance to increase the clamping force.

[0038] There are several massage components inside the ear cup 2. The massage components include a connecting cylinder 8, a massage rod 9, and a massage ball 12. The massage ball 12 is used to massage the ear acupoints. One end of the massage rod 9 away from the massage ball 12 is connected with a connecting ring 10 adapted to the inner diameter of the connecting cylinder 8, which plays a role in guiding and sealing, similar to the sliding piston of a syringe. A spring 11 is connected between the connecting ring 10 and the end wall of the connecting cylinder 8. An external force drives the massage rod 9 to slide the massage ball 12 along the axial direction of the connecting cylinder 8. The spring 11 can assist the massage rod 9 to reset and play a buffering role. In practical applications, the driving member pushes the piston rod of the first syringe 22 to inject gas into the syringe barrel, pushes the massage ball 12 outwards and compresses the spring 11, and then the driving member pulls the piston rod to draw out the gas, and cycles in this way to realize the massage of the ear acupoints. In this process, the setting of the spring 11 can play a buffering role and assist the massage ball 12 to reset. The driving member also drives the piston rod of the second syringe 23 to reciprocate, sucks the soothing essential oil or traditional Chinese medicine liquid from the liquid storage box 25, and pushes it to the flow channel 13, and then flows out from the massage ball 12 to the acupoints of the patient. And the massage head is made of magnetic beads. During the massage process, the magnetic field can strengthen the inhibitory process of the cerebral cortex to improve the sleep state, promote falling asleep and extend the sleep time, and at the same time release drugs to increase the sleep aid effect. The massage of the massage ball 12 combined with the release of drugs improves the overall sleep aid massage effect, and the massage of the massage ball 12 can promote the absorption of the effective components of the drugs. In addition, compared with the vibrator or the motor 24, it can reduce noise and further increase the sleep aid effect.

[0039] The driving member includes a rotating shaft 17, an eccentric cam 18, and a motor 24. The output shaft of the motor 24 rotates to drive the eccentric cam 18 to rotate. The eccentric cam 18 intermittently pushes and pulls the piston rod, so as to realize the massage and release drugs at the same time. The annular flange of the eccentric cam 18 is provided with a "convex" - shaped annular groove 19. The push plate 21 is connected with a "convex" - shaped slider 20. The slider 20 slides in the annular groove 19. The cooperation between the annular groove 19 and the slider 20 makes the connection between the piston rod and the eccentric cam 18 reliable. The headrest 1 is provided with a sliding groove. The push plate 21 is connected with a convex block. The convex block is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The sliding groove guides and limits the movement of the push plate 21, so that the process of inflating the connecting cylinder 8 by the eccentric cam 18 as the rotating shaft 17 rotates is uniform and stable, and the massage ball 12 can slide along the connecting cylinder 8 evenly and stably. In addition, a rigid box body is embedded behind the headrest 1. The liquid storage box 25, the temperature control device 26, the rotating shaft 17, the eccentric cam 18, the motor 24, the first syringe 22 and the second syringe 23 are all arranged in the rigid box body, which can play a role in storage and noise isolation. And the rigid box body is embedded in the rear side of the headrest 1, occupying a small space and being convenient to carry.

[0040] The liquid storage box 25 is equipped with a constant temperature device 26, which can be an electric hand warmer, a hot water bottle, or a smart thermostat. This device is used to keep the traditional Chinese medicine liquid or calming essential oil warm, promote the absorption of the liquid, and prevent the liquid from being too cold and irritating the user's ears. In addition, after the liquid is absorbed, it can also draw in the surrounding warm air to increase the temperature at the acupoint, which can promote blood circulation, increase the absorption rate of the drug, and further enhance the sleep-aiding effect.

[0041] The adjustment mechanism includes an internally threaded tube 6 and an externally threaded rod 5 connected by threads. In use, the distance between the two earmuffs 2 can be adjusted simply by rotating the internally threaded tube 6. The operation is simple and the connection is stable because it can be self-locking through the threads. A light-blocking component 7 is connected between the two L-shaped connecting rods to block external light and further enhance the sleep-aiding effect. In addition, a soft support pad 3 is connected to the outer edge of the earmuffs 2 to further relieve the pressure on the area around the patient's ears.

[0042] The bottom wall of the earmuff 2 is provided with a first cavity 15 and a second cavity 16 that are not interconnected. The first cavity 15 is connected to the air outlet of the connecting tube 8 and the first syringe 22, respectively. Gas is introduced into the first cavity 15 through the first syringe 22 and then flows from the first cavity 15 into several connecting tubes 8. A conduit 14 is connected inside the first cavity 15. One end of the conduit 14 is fitted into the flow channel 13 so that the massage stick 9 can slide along the axial direction of the connecting tube 8. The other end of the conduit 14 passes through the bottom wall of the first cavity 15 and is connected to the second cavity 16. The second cavity 16 is connected to the outlet of the second syringe 23. The Chinese medicine liquid or calming essential oil in the second syringe 23 flows into the second cavity 16 and then flows from the second cavity 16 into several conduits 14 and flow channels 13. Finally, it flows out from the massage ball 12 to the acupoint of the user's ear. The conduit 14 is sealed to the first cavity 15 so that the first cavity 15 and the second cavity 16 are isolated to ensure their respective functions and make the massage and drug release stable and smooth.
