[0024] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 The massage device 100 can be used to massage the hands or feet, etc. The massage device 100 includes a housing 101, an inner housing 50, a clamping member 70, a driving member 80, and a rear cover 90.

[0026] The inner housing 50 is slidably disposed inside the outer housing 101. The clamping member 70 is movably mounted on the inner housing 50. The driving member 80 is connected inside the outer housing 101 and connected to the inner housing 50, thereby enabling the inner housing 50 to reciprocate and extend.

[0027] The outer casing 101 includes a first outer casing 10 and a second outer casing 30 that are interconnected. One end of the first outer casing 10 and the second outer casing 30 forms an opening 15, through which the hand or foot area awaiting massage enters the inner casing 50 of the massage device 100. A rear cover 90 is installed at the other end of the first outer casing 10 and the second outer casing 30.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inner wall of the first outer casing 10 is provided with two opposing first inclined grooves 11. The first inclined grooves 11 are formed by a recess in the inner wall of the first outer casing 10, and the two first inclined grooves 11 have a V-shaped structure. The two first inclined grooves 11 extend gradually away from the side near the opening 15 and are inclined towards each other. That is, the distance between the ends of the two first inclined grooves 11 near the opening 15 is greater than the distance between the ends of the two first inclined grooves 11 away from the opening 15. The cross-section of the first outer casing 10 in the width direction is a semi-circular ring, thus forming a semi-circular notch.

[0029] Furthermore, the bottom of the first outer casing 10 is provided with two guide rails 13 arranged along the length direction of the first outer casing 10. The two guide rails 13 are located on both sides of the two first inclined grooves 11.

[0030] A portion of the inner wall of the second outer shell 30 protrudes outward to form two first protrusions 31, which are V-shaped. Each first protrusion 31 has a certain height and a recessed center forming a second inclined groove 311. The inclination direction of the two first protrusions 31 and the corresponding second inclined groove 311 is the same as that of the first inclined groove 11. A first window 33 is provided through the middle of the second outer shell 30, allowing a view of the internal structures of both the first and second outer shells 10. The shape of the second outer shell 30 is identical to that of the first outer shell 10, allowing them to be connected to form a cylindrical outer shell.

[0031] Furthermore, the two first protrusions 31 are located on opposite sides of the first window 33. To accommodate the first window 33, the distance between the ends of the two second inclined grooves 311 near the opening 15 is greater than the distance between the ends of the two first inclined grooves 11 near the opening 15. That is, the relative distance between the two second inclined grooves 311 is greater than the relative distance between the two first inclined grooves 11. In some embodiments, if the first window 33 is not provided or is small, the distance between the two first inclined grooves 11 can be equal to the distance between the two second inclined grooves 311.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 3-5 The inner housing 50 is installed inside the outer housing 101 and connected to two guide rails 13. The inner housing 50 is hollow and has a cavity 52 for accommodating the clamping member 70 and forming a massage space. The inner housing 50 is capable of reciprocating in a predetermined direction to apply an external force to the object to be massaged in that direction, which is defined as the first direction X.

[0033] The clamping member 70 has two clamping arms 72 arranged opposite each other along a second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X. The two clamping arms 72 are movably disposed on both sides of the inner housing 50 and partially extend into the interior of the inner housing 50. The clamping arms 72 have a curved structure with the middle part protruding from the two ends, so that the two clamping arms 72 form a near-circular space when they are opposite each other. A through limiting groove 57 is formed on the lower surface of the inner housing 50. The limiting groove 57 communicates with two first inclined grooves 11, so that the clamping member 70 is connected to the first inclined grooves 11 via the limiting groove 57. The width of the limiting groove 57 in the first direction X matches the width of the clamping member 70, so that the lower end 71 of the clamping member 70 can be engaged in the limiting groove 57. The two walls of the limiting groove 57 fit against the clamping member 70, thereby limiting the clamping member 70 in the first direction X. The upper surface of the inner housing 50 protrudes downward to form two opposing limiting walls 59, and the two limiting walls 59 have a certain distance between them. The upper end 77 of the clamping member 70 protrudes upward to form a third protrusion 771, and each clamping arm 72 has two third protrusions 771. The distance between the two third protrusions 771 of the same clamping arm 72 matches the distance between the two limiting walls 59, so that the two third protrusions 771 respectively engage with the opposite side of the two limiting walls 59 and form mutual limiting, so that the two clamping arms 72 move towards the center of the inner shell 50 along the two limiting walls 59.

[0034] The lower end 71 of the clamping member 70 protrudes downward to form a first protrusion 711, which can be just engaged in the first inclined groove 11. In this embodiment, there are two first protrusions 711, which are arranged at an angle and are respectively engaged in one of the first inclined grooves 11, so that the two first protrusions 711 slide along the first inclined groove 11.

[0035] A second protrusion 73 protrudes outward from the middle of the clamping member 70 near the second outer shell 30, and a second protrusion 731 protrudes upward from the top surface of the second protrusion 73. The second protrusion 73 extends from the inner shell 50 to the outer shell 101, and the second protrusion 731 can just engage within the second inclined groove 311. When the inner shell 50 reciprocates in the first direction X, the clamping member 70 reciprocates synchronously in the first direction X under the drive of the inner shell 50. The first protrusion 711 slides within the first inclined groove 11, and the second protrusion 731 slides within the second inclined groove 311. Since the first inclined groove 11 and the second inclined groove 311 have a certain inclination, the two clamping arms 72 of the clamping member 70 move towards and away from each other in the second direction Y, thus performing a reciprocating expanding and contracting motion. It can be understood that the number of first protrusions 711 is equal to or multiples of the number of first inclined grooves 11, and the number of second protrusions 731 corresponds to the number of second inclined grooves 311. In some embodiments, the number of first protrusions 711 of a clamping arm 72 is two, and the two first protrusions 711 are arranged at an angle relative to each other. The degree of inclination is the same as that of the first inclined groove 11.

[0036] One end of the guide rail 13 is fixed to the end of the first outer shell 10 away from the opening 15, and extends towards the opening 15. The guide rail 13 passes through the hole in the inner shell 50 and the other end is fixed to the end of the first outer shell 10 near the opening 15, thus the inner shell 50 and the first outer shell 10 are fixedly connected. The guide rail 13 limits the movement of the inner shell 50, so that the inner shell 50 can only reciprocate along the first direction X. The guide rail 13 is a slender cylinder, which reduces the friction between the inner shell 50 and the surface of the guide rail 13, thus making the movement smoother.

[0037] The inner housing 50 has a sidewall with a clearance groove 53, which includes a first wall 531 and a second wall 533. During the reciprocating motion of the inner housing 50, the first protrusion 31 and the second protrusion 73 are always located within the clearance groove 53, so that when the inner housing 50 moves relative to the outer housing 101, the first protrusion 31 of the outer housing 101 does not affect the movement of the inner housing 50. The shape of the first wall 531 matches the movement trajectory of the junction between the first protrusion 31 and the inner wall of the outer housing 30. The shape of the second wall 533 matches the lower surface of the first protrusion 31 and the movement trajectory of the second protrusion 73. Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the movement trajectory of the first protrusion 31 when it engages with the avoidance groove 53. Below the avoidance groove 53, an engagement groove 55 is formed, extending through the inner housing 50 along the second direction Y. The clamping member 70 protrudes outwards, forming an engagement member 75 corresponding to the engagement groove 55, which engages within the engagement groove 55. The engagement groove 55 has a certain depth, ensuring that a portion of the engagement member 75 remains within the engagement groove 55 during the expansion and contraction of the clamping member 70.

[0038] Furthermore, the upper end 77 of the clamping member 70 is connected to the limiting wall 59 via the third protrusion 771. The lower end 71 of the clamping member 70 is connected to the limiting groove 57 via the side wall of the clamping member 70. The middle part of the clamping member 70 is connected to the engaging member 75 and the engaging groove 55, so that the clamping member 70 always moves along the predetermined trajectory of the inner housing 50 during the extension and contraction process.

[0039] Furthermore, a second window 51 is formed on the inner shell 50 corresponding to the first window 33, and the area of ​​the second window 51 is smaller than the area of ​​the first window 33. When the inner shell 50 reciprocates along the first direction X, the second window 51 always partially or completely overlaps with the first window 33. The clamping member 70 is installed on the inner shell 50 at the position corresponding to the second window 51, so that the expansion and contraction movement of the clamping member 70 can be seen through the second window 51. The expansion and contraction movement of the inner shell 50 and the expansion and contraction movement of the clamping member 70 can be seen simultaneously through the first window 33, providing the user with a better visual experience. In some embodiments, a first cover 331 is provided corresponding to the first window 33, and a second cover (not shown) is provided corresponding to the second window 51. The first cover 331 and the second cover can be made of transparent material.

[0040] The back cover 90 encloses the end of the massage device 100 opposite to the opening 15. A drive unit 80 is housed inside the back cover 90, comprising a transmission rod 81, an eccentric wheel 83, a motor 85, and a control unit 87. The control unit 87 can be controlled via buttons or similar mechanisms on the back cover 90. The control unit 87 transmits signals to the motor 85 and activates it. The motor 85 drives the eccentric wheel 83 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission rod 81, causing it to extend and retract. One end of the transmission rod 81 is connected to the eccentric wheel 83, and the other end is connected to the inner housing 50. The transmission rod 81 drives the inner housing 50 to move in the first direction X, thus achieving the extension and retraction movement.

[0041] The massage device 100 of this embodiment can achieve telescopic massage by extending and retracting the inner shell 50, and achieve clamping massage by moving the two clamping arms 72 toward each other and away from each other, thereby relieving various massage effects on the hands, feet, etc., and thus providing better massage effect for the user.

[0042] The specific embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and substitutions can be made to the specific embodiments of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. All such changes and substitutions fall within the scope defined by this application.
