Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of massage equipment technology, and more particularly to a massage head and massage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A massage device is a device that can massage sore or aching areas of the body. Specifically, a massage device typically includes a motion component and a massage head. The massage head is connected to the motion component, which drives the massage head to move, thereby kneading or massaging the sore or aching areas of the body to relax them.

[0003] However, the massage heads in existing technologies provide a poor user experience and less than ideal massage comfort when kneading or massaging sore areas. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of massage head to improve massage comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application discloses a massage head and massage device that can improve massage comfort.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, firstly, this application discloses a massage head, comprising:

[0006] A housing having an inner cavity, the housing being connected to a motion component of a massage device, the motion component being used to drive the housing to move;

[0007] A motor assembly, wherein the motor assembly is disposed in the inner cavity, and at least a portion of the peripheral wall of the motor assembly is not in contact with the cavity wall of the inner cavity, the motor assembly includes a motor body and an eccentric wheel connected to the motor body, the motor body being used to drive the eccentric wheel to perform eccentric motion; and,

[0008] Connectors are respectively connected to the motor assembly and the housing.

[0009] Since the motor assembly includes a motor body and an eccentric wheel connected to the motor body, when the motor body drives the eccentric wheel to make eccentric movements, the motor assembly can generate a vibration effect.

[0010] Based on the vibration effect generated by the motor assembly, and because the motor assembly is located within the cavity of the housing and connected to the housing via a connector, the vibration of the motor assembly can be transmitted to the housing, giving the housing a vibration effect. Therefore, when this massage head is applied to a massage device, and the housing is connected to the moving components of the massage device, when the moving components drive the housing to move and bring it into contact with the sore areas of the body, the housing can transmit vibration to these areas, allowing them to be massaged through the vibration of the housing, achieving the purpose of vibration massage. Since vibration massage can quickly relax sore areas of the body, the massage with this head provides a better sensory experience, resulting in a higher level of massage comfort.

[0011] In this design, when the motor assembly is located within the inner cavity, at least a portion of the motor assembly's peripheral wall does not contact the cavity wall. The motor assembly is connected to the housing via a connector. This means that the peripheral wall of the motor assembly and the cavity wall are not in complete contact, but rather there is a certain gap between them. This minimizes or avoids collisions between the motor assembly and the housing during vibration, thereby reducing noise caused by the collisions and resulting in less noise during the massage head's vibration massage, thus improving the massage experience.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the housing includes:

[0013] Contacts; and,

[0014] A mating component is provided, wherein the mating component and the contact component are opposite to each other along a first direction and are detachably fastened to the contact component, the mating component and the contact component enclose the inner cavity, and the connecting component is connected to the motor assembly and the contact component respectively, or the connecting component is connected to the motor assembly and the mating component respectively.

[0015] By making the mating parts and contact parts detachably engage with each other along a first direction, the assembly and maintenance of motor components can be made very convenient.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the contact element includes:

[0017] Flexible parts; and,

[0018] A rigid part is disposed around the periphery of the flexible part, the mating part is detachably fastened to the rigid part, and the connecting part is connected to the motor assembly and the rigid part respectively.

[0019] Since the rigid part is located around the flexible part, it can support the flexible part around the flexible part, so that the flexible part can be stably fixed. This can prevent the flexible part from collapsing abnormally due to loss of support during massage when it comes into contact with the sore and swollen parts of the human body.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the flexible portion is provided with an annular recess, the annular recess enclosing a floating portion, the floating portion being configured to deform when subjected to an external force.

[0021] Because the annular recess is located in the flexible part, forming a floating part, it deforms more easily than other parts of the flexible part when subjected to external force. This enhances the overall deformability of the flexible part, resulting in a softer feel during massage and thus a higher level of massage comfort.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the rigidity of the mating member is greater than that of the flexible portion, and the mating member is used to connect with the motion component of the massage device.

[0023] Since the mating parts are used to connect with the moving components of the massage device, by making the rigidity of the mating parts greater than that of the flexible parts, the entire massage head can be more firmly and reliably assembled to the moving components, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the massage head.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the connector is detachably connected to the motor assembly and / or the contact.

[0025] By making the connector detachably connected to the motor assembly, and / or the connector detachably connected to the contact, when it is necessary to remove the motor assembly from the contact, simply remove the motor assembly from the connector, or remove the connector from the contact, thus making subsequent maintenance of the motor assembly convenient and quick.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the contact and / or the motor assembly are provided with a snap-fit ​​portion, and the connector is detachably snapped into the snap-fit ​​portion.

[0027] When the connector is detachably snapped into the latching part, it can be connected to the motor assembly and the contact part respectively through the snap-fit ​​connection. Since the snap-fit ​​connection method is technically mature and reliable, the reliability of the connection between the connector and the motor assembly and the contact part can be guaranteed when the connector is connected to the motor assembly and the contact part respectively through the snap-fit ​​connection.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the latching part includes:

[0029] A surrounding ring protrudes from the contact member along the first direction, and the surrounding ring encloses and forms a snap-fit ​​space, into which the connector is detachably snapped.

[0030] Because the enclosing ring forms a snap-fit ​​space, when the connector is detachably snapped into the snap-fit ​​space, the enclosing ring can partially enclose the connector in the snap-fit ​​space to protect it, thereby making the connector more stable and reliable in its connection to the contact.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the connector includes:

[0032] A connecting portion, which is fixedly connected to the motor assembly; and,

[0033] The chuck portion is connected to the connecting portion and is detachably engaged with the buckle space. The enclosing wall of the enclosing ring near the inner cavity is provided with a relief groove that penetrates the enclosing wall along the first direction, and the connecting portion is located in the relief groove.

[0034] By providing a clearance groove that extends through the enclosure wall in a first direction on the enclosure wall near the inner cavity of the enclosure ring, a space can be formed to avoid the connecting part. In this way, it can be ensured that there is no interference between the connecting part and the enclosure wall of the enclosure ring during the process of detachably engaging the chuck part into the snap-fit ​​space, thereby ensuring that the chuck part is stably and smoothly engaged in the snap-fit ​​space.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the chuck portion matches the shape of the latching space, and the chuck portion is slidably latched onto the latching space along the first direction.

[0036] By matching the shape of the chuck portion with that of the latching space, the chuck portion is slidably latched into the latching space along the first direction. With this configuration, during the process of slidably latching the chuck portion into the latching space along the first direction, the outer wall of the chuck portion and the space wall of the latching space can be in close contact. During this process, the space wall of the latching space can guide the sliding of the chuck portion along the first direction. This configuration can, on the one hand, prevent the chuck portion from shaking in the latching space, which could lead to an unreliable connection between the connector and the contact. On the other hand, it can also make the latching accuracy of the chuck portion in the latching space higher.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the mating part is provided with a relief groove that matches the snap-fit ​​portion, the snap-fit ​​portion is accommodated in the relief groove and the bottom of the relief groove abuts against the chuck portion along the first direction.

[0038] By providing a clearance groove on the mating part that matches the snap-fit ​​part, and allowing the snap-fit ​​part to be accommodated in the clearance groove, the clearance groove can limit the position of the snap-fit ​​part, thereby improving the assembly accuracy between the mating part and the contact part.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the clearance groove is provided with a plug-in portion, which is inserted into the clearance groove and presses against the connecting portion.

[0040] By inserting the connector into the relief groove, the relief groove can limit the position of the connector, thereby making the assembly accuracy between the mating parts and the contact parts higher.

[0041] In one possible implementation, the contact member has a first mounting surface facing the mating member along the first direction, the mating member has a second mounting surface that matches the first mounting surface, the second mounting surface is attached to the first mounting surface, the snap-fit ​​portion is disposed on the first mounting surface, and the clearance groove is disposed on the second mounting surface.

[0042] By making the second mounting surface fit against the first mounting surface, when the mating part is fastened to the contact part, the mating part and the contact part can fit tightly together, thereby preventing external dust and other contaminants from entering the inner cavity and contaminating the motor assembly, making the operation of the motor assembly more stable.

[0043] In one possible implementation, there are multiple connectors, which are spaced apart along the peripheral wall of the motor assembly.

[0044] By having multiple connectors spaced apart along the periphery of the motor assembly, the motor assembly can be connected to the housing in all directions via the connectors, thus enabling a more stable and reliable connection between the motor assembly and the housing.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the natural frequency of the housing is different from the vibration frequency of the motor assembly.

[0046] When the natural frequency of the housing is different from the vibration frequency of the motor assembly, resonance between the housing and the motor assembly can be avoided, resulting in lower overall noise during operation of the massage head and thus improving the user experience.

[0047] In one possible implementation, the motor assembly further includes:

[0048] A package is wrapped around the motor body, at least a portion of the peripheral wall of the package does not contact the cavity wall of the inner cavity, and the connecting member is connected to the package and the housing respectively.

[0049] Because the wrapping component encloses the motor body, it serves two purposes: firstly, it protects the motor body, making its operating environment safer; secondly, it isolates at least some of the noise generated during motor operation, resulting in quieter motor operation and a better overall user experience for the massage head. Furthermore, it prevents the connector from directly connecting to the motor body, thus avoiding any potential damage to the motor.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the package includes:

[0051] A motor protective housing, which encloses the motor body; and...

[0052] A noise-reducing enclosure is provided, which is wrapped around the motor protective shell. At least a portion of the peripheral wall of the noise-reducing enclosure does not contact the cavity wall of the inner cavity. The connecting member is connected to the noise-reducing enclosure and the shell respectively. The flexibility of the noise-reducing enclosure is greater than that of the motor protective shell.

[0053] Since the motor protective shell is wrapped around the motor body and the noise reduction enclosure is wrapped around the motor protective shell, the motor protective shell can be used specifically to protect the motor body and the noise reduction enclosure can be used specifically to reduce noise. In this way, the protection and noise reduction effects of the motor body can be improved.

[0054] In one possible implementation, the noise-reducing wrapper is integrally formed with the connector.

[0055] This design reduces the number of parts in the massage head, making its structure simpler. Furthermore, when assembling the motor assembly into the housing, only the connector needs to be connected to the housing; there's no need to consider the connection between the connector and the noise-reducing enclosure. Therefore, it simplifies the assembly process and improves assembly efficiency.

[0056] Secondly, this application discloses a massage device, including the massage head described in any of the first aspects above.

[0057] Because this massage head provides a high level of massage comfort and a better massage experience, when a massage device includes this massage head, the massage device can achieve a higher level of massage comfort and a better massage experience.

[0058] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0059] In this application, since the motor assembly includes a motor body and an eccentric wheel connected to the motor body, when the motor body drives the eccentric wheel to make eccentric movements, the motor assembly can generate a vibration effect.

[0060] Based on the vibration effect generated by the motor assembly, and because the motor assembly is located within the cavity of the housing and connected to the housing via a connector, the vibration of the motor assembly can be transmitted to the housing, giving the housing a vibration effect. Therefore, when this massage head is applied to a massage device, and the housing is connected to the moving components of the massage device, when the moving components drive the housing to move and bring it into contact with the sore areas of the body, the housing can transmit vibration to these areas, allowing them to be massaged through the vibration of the housing, achieving the purpose of vibration massage. Since vibration massage can quickly relax sore areas of the body, the massage with this head provides a better sensory experience, resulting in a higher level of massage comfort.

[0061] In this design, when the motor assembly is located within the inner cavity, at least a portion of the motor assembly's peripheral wall does not contact the cavity wall. The motor assembly is connected to the housing via a connector. This means that the peripheral wall of the motor assembly and the cavity wall are not in complete contact, but rather there is a certain gap between them. This minimizes or avoids collisions between the motor assembly and the housing during vibration, thereby reducing noise caused by the collisions and resulting in less noise during the massage head's vibration massage, thus improving the massage experience.

[0087] The technical solution of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0088] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage head 100 provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 See the exploded view of the massage head 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The massage head 100 includes a housing 1, a motor assembly 2, and a connector 3. See also... Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the massage head 100 when it is applied to the massage device 1000. The housing 1 is connected to the motion component 200 of the massage device 1000, and the motion component 200 is used to drive the housing 1 to move.

[0089] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the massage head 100 from another perspective. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The massage head 100 is shown in a cross-sectional view at position AA. The housing 1 has an inner cavity 11, and the motor assembly 2 is disposed in the inner cavity 11. At least a portion of the peripheral wall of the motor assembly 2 does not contact the cavity wall of the inner cavity 11 (that is, there is a gap between the peripheral wall of at least a portion of the motor assembly 2 and the cavity wall of the inner cavity 11).

[0090] See Figure 2 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a motor assembly 2 provided in an embodiment of this application. The motor assembly 2 includes a motor body 21 and an eccentric wheel 22 connected to the motor body 21. The motor body 21 is used to drive the eccentric wheel 22 to perform eccentric motion. The connecting member 3 is connected to the motor assembly 2 and the housing 1 respectively.

[0091] In this embodiment, since the motor assembly 2 includes a motor body 21 and an eccentric wheel 22 connected to the motor body 21, when the motor body 21 drives the eccentric wheel 22 to make eccentric movements, the motor assembly 2 can generate a vibration effect.

[0092] Based on the vibration effect generated by the motor assembly 2, and since the motor assembly 2 is located within the inner cavity 11 of the housing 1 and connected to the housing 1 via the connector 3, the vibration of the motor assembly 2 can be transmitted to the housing 1, giving the housing 1 a vibration effect. Therefore, when the massage head 100 is applied to the massage device 1000, and the housing 1 is connected to the motion component 200 of the massage device 1000, when the motion component 200 drives the housing 1 to move, causing the housing 1 to come into contact with the sore areas of the body, the housing 1 can transmit vibration to these areas, allowing them to be massaged through the vibration of the housing 1, achieving the purpose of vibration massage. Because vibration massage can quickly relax sore areas of the body, the massage with the massage head 100 provides a better physical sensation, resulting in higher massage comfort.

[0093] Since when the motor assembly 2 is disposed in the inner cavity 11, at least part of the peripheral wall of the motor assembly 2 does not contact the cavity wall of the inner cavity 11. The motor assembly 2 is connected to the housing 1 through the connector 3. That is, the peripheral wall of the motor assembly 2 and the cavity wall of the inner cavity 11 are not in complete contact, but there is a certain gap between them. In this way, the collision between the motor assembly 2 and the housing 1 during vibration can be reduced or avoided as much as possible, thereby reducing the noise generated by the collision and making the massage head 100 less noisy during vibration massage, thus improving the massage experience of the massage head 100.

[0094] It should be noted that the aforementioned motion component 200 driving the housing 1 to move so that the housing 1 comes into contact with the sore and swollen parts of the human body is only one possible application scenario of the massage head 100 given in this embodiment. Of course, the massage head 100 can also be used in other possible scenarios. For example, the massage head 100 can also be used to massage cats or dogs, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0095] It should also be noted that the massage device 1000 described above can be a shoulder and neck massager for massaging the shoulders and neck. When the massage device 1000 is a shoulder and neck massager, the sore and swollen areas of the human body mentioned above can be understood as the shoulders and neck. Of course, the massage device 1000 can also be other possible massage devices, such as a waist massager for massaging the waist, etc. This embodiment does not limit the massage device 1000.

[0096] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing 1 includes: a contact member 12 and a mating member 13, wherein the mating member 13 and the contact member 12 are along a first direction ( Figure 2The mating part 13 (in the Z-axis direction) is detachably fastened to the contact member 12, and the mating part 13 and the contact member 12 enclose the inner cavity 11. The connecting part 3 is connected to the motor assembly 2 and the contact member 12 respectively. Figure 2 (in the middle state), or, the connector 3 is connected to the motor assembly 2 and the mating part 13 respectively.

[0097] Since the mating part 13 and the contact part 12 are detachably fastened to each other along the first direction, when it is necessary to assemble the motor assembly 2 into the inner cavity 11 of the housing 1, it is only necessary to remove the mating part 13 from the contact part 12 to open the inner cavity 11, which makes it very convenient to assemble the motor assembly 2 into the inner cavity 11 of the housing 1. After the motor assembly 2 is assembled into the inner cavity 11 of the housing 1, the mating part 13 is fastened to the contact part 12 to complete the assembly of the motor assembly 2.

[0098] After the motor assembly 2 is assembled, if an abnormality occurs during the operation of the motor assembly 2 and maintenance is required, simply remove the mating part 13 from the contact part 12 to open the inner cavity 11, which makes it very convenient to continue maintenance work on the motor assembly 2.

[0099] It is evident that by making the mating part 13 and the contact part 12 opposite to each other along the first direction and detachably fastened to the contact part 12, the assembly and maintenance of the motor assembly 2 can be made very convenient.

[0100] In addition, by connecting the connector 3 to the motor assembly 2 and the contact 12 respectively, or connecting the connector 3 to the motor assembly 2 and the mating part 13 respectively, the motor assembly 2 can be connected to either the contact 12 or the mating part 13 through the connector 3, which can be flexibly selected according to the actual situation, thus providing greater flexibility.

[0101] The aforementioned contact element 12 can be a component of the massage head 100 used to contact the sore and swollen parts of the human body.

[0102] Specifically, the contact element 12 can be implemented in various ways. In one possible implementation, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of contact 12 in the diagram. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 The exploded view of the contact 12 shows that the contact 12 includes a flexible part 121 and a rigid part 122. The rigid part 122 is disposed around the periphery of the flexible part 121. The mating part 13 is detachably fastened to the rigid part 122. The connecting part 3 is connected to the motor assembly 2 and the rigid part 122 respectively.

[0103] When the contact member 12 includes a flexible part 121, during massage, the flexible part 121 can come into contact with the sore and swollen parts of the human body. When the flexible part 121 comes into contact with the sore and swollen parts of the human body, the contact between the entire contact member 12 and the sore and swollen parts of the human body can be a flexible contact, which can significantly improve the massage comfort.

[0104] Since the rigid part 122 is located around the flexible part 121, the rigid part 122 can support the flexible part 121 around the flexible part 121, so that the flexible part 121 can be stably fixed, thereby preventing the flexible part 121 from collapsing abnormally due to loss of support during massage when it comes into contact with the sore and swollen parts of the human body.

[0105] By making the mating part 13 detachably fastened to the rigid part 122, the connecting part 3 is connected to the motor assembly 2 and the rigid part 122 respectively. Since the rigid part 122 has better rigidity than the flexible part 121, the connection between the mating part 13 and the contact part 12 can be made more secure, and the connection between the connecting part 3 and the contact part 12 can also be made more secure.

[0106] The flexible part 121 can be made of rubber or other possible flexible materials, as long as it is more flexible than the rigid part 122. This embodiment does not limit this. The rigid part 122 can be made of plastic or alloy, as long as it is more rigid than the flexible part 121. This embodiment also does not limit the material of the rigid part 122.

[0107] It should be noted that the rigid part 122 being disposed around the periphery of the flexible part 121 means that the rigid part 122 is disposed around one circumference of the flexible part 121.

[0108] Considering that the primary function of the flexible portion 121 is to enhance massage comfort through flexible contact with sore or aggravated areas of the body, the deformability of the flexible portion 121 is crucial. To enhance the deformability of the flexible portion 121, in some embodiments, see... Figure 8 and Figure 9 , Figure 9 yes Figure 8 The diagram shows the structure of the flexible part 121 from another perspective. The flexible part 121 has an annular recess 1211, which encloses to form a floating part 1210. The floating part 1210 is configured to deform when subjected to external force.

[0109] Because the annular recess 1211 is provided on the flexible part 121, and the annular recess 1211 surrounds and forms the floating part 1210, under the action of the annular recess 1211, when the floating part 1210 is subjected to external force, the floating part 1210 is more easily deformed than other parts of the flexible part 121. In this way, the deformation capability of the entire flexible part 121 can be enhanced to a certain extent, thereby making the massage feeling softer when using the massage head 100, and thus making the massage comfort of the massage head 100 higher.

[0110] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 The rigidity of the mating part 13 is greater than that of the flexible part 121. The mating part 13 is used to connect with the motion component 200 of the massage device 1000.

[0111] Since the mating part 13 is used to connect with the motion component 200 of the massage device 1000, by making the rigidity of the mating part 13 greater than that of the flexible part 121, the entire massage head 100 can be more firmly and reliably assembled to the motion component 200, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the massage head 100.

[0112] Considering that after the motor assembly 2 is connected to the contact member 12 via the connector 3, if the motor assembly 2 malfunctions or other possible situations arise, it may be necessary to remove the motor assembly 2 from the contact member 12. To meet this need, in some embodiments, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 The connector 3 is detachably connected to the motor assembly 2, and / or the connector 3 is detachably connected to the contact 12.

[0113] By making the connector 3 detachably connected to the motor assembly 2, and / or the connector 3 detachably connected to the contact 12, when it is necessary to remove the motor assembly 2 from the contact 12, simply remove the motor assembly 2 from the connector 3, or remove the connector 3 from the contact 12, thus achieving the purpose of removing the motor assembly 2 from the contact 12, making subsequent maintenance of the motor assembly 2 convenient and quick.

[0114] The aforementioned detachable connection between connector 3 and motor assembly 2, and / or detachable connection between connector 3 and contact 12, can be interpreted in three ways: First, connector 3 is detachably connected to both motor assembly 2 and contact 12. Second, connector 3 is detachably connected to motor assembly 2, while contact 12 is fixedly connected. Third, connector 3 is fixedly connected to motor assembly 2, while contact 12 is detachably connected.

[0115] It should be noted that there are multiple ways in which the connector 3 and the contact 12 can be detachably connected, and multiple ways in which the motor assembly 2 and the connector 3 can be detachably connected. In one possible implementation, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 and Figure 8 The contact 12 and / or the motor assembly 2 are provided with a latching part 123, and the connector 3 is detachably latched into the latching part 123.

[0116] When the connector 3 is detachably engaged with the latching part 123, the connector 3 can be connected to the motor assembly 2 and the contact 12 respectively by the latching connection. Since the latching connection method is technically mature and reliable, the reliability of the connection between the connector 3 and the motor assembly 2 and the contact 12 can be guaranteed when the connector 3 is connected to the motor assembly 2 and the contact 12 respectively by the latching connection.

[0117] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 , Figure 10 yes Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the structure of the motor assembly 2 and the connector 3 is shown. The latching part 123 includes: a surrounding ring 1231, the surrounding ring 1231 protruding from the contact member 12 in a first direction, the surrounding ring 1231 enclosing to form a latching space 12311, and the connector 3 being detachably latched into the latching space 12311.

[0118] Since the enclosing ring 1231 encloses and forms the snap-fit ​​space 12311, when the connector 3 is detachably snapped into the snap-fit ​​space 12311, the enclosing ring 1231 can partially wrap the connector 3 in the snap-fit ​​space 12311 to protect the connector 3, thereby making the connector 3 more stable and reliable to be connected to the contact 12.

[0119] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The connector 3 includes a connecting part 31 and a chuck part 32, wherein the connecting part 31 is fixedly connected to the motor assembly 2, the chuck part 32 is connected to the connecting part 31, and the chuck part 32 is detachably engaged in the latching space 12311. The enclosing wall of the enclosing ring 1231 near the inner cavity 11 is provided with a feature along a first direction (…). Figure 8 The relief groove 12312 (in the Z-axis direction) penetrates the enclosure wall, and the connecting part 31 is located in the relief groove 12312.

[0120] By providing a clearance groove 12312 that extends through the enclosure wall in the first direction on the enclosure wall near the inner cavity 11 of the enclosure ring 1231, the clearance groove 12312 can form a space for avoiding the connecting part 31. In this way, it can be ensured that there is no interference between the connecting part 31 and the enclosure wall of the enclosure ring 1231 during the process of detachably engaging the chuck part 32 into the snap-fit ​​space 12311, thereby ensuring that the chuck part 32 is stably and smoothly engaged in the snap-fit ​​space 12311.

[0121] The shape of the aforementioned enclosing ring 1231 can be as follows: Figure 8 The rectangle shown is not limited to any particular shape; of course, the enclosing ring 1231 can also be other possible shapes, and this embodiment does not limit this. Furthermore, the shape of the connecting portion 31 can be as follows: Figure 10 The shape of the columnar, chuck portion 32 shown can be as follows: Figure 10 In this embodiment, the shapes of the connecting part 31 and the chuck part 32 are not limited to the cuboid.

[0122] To prevent the chuck portion 32 from wobbling within the latching space 12311 after it engages with the latching space 12311, which could lead to an unreliable connection between the connector 3 and the contact member 12, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The shape of the chuck portion 32 matches that of the latching space 12311, and the chuck portion 32 is slidably latched into the latching space 12311 along the first direction.

[0123] By matching the shape of the chuck portion 32 with that of the latching space 12311, the chuck portion 32 is slidably latched onto the latching space 12311 along the first direction. With this configuration, during the process of slidably latching the chuck portion 32 onto the latching space 12311 along the first direction, the outer wall of the chuck portion 32 and the space wall of the latching space 12311 can be in close contact. During this process, the space wall of the latching space 12311 can guide the sliding of the chuck portion 32 along the first direction. With this configuration, on the one hand, it can avoid the situation where the chuck portion 32 shakes in the latching space 12311, resulting in an unreliable connection between the connector 3 and the contact member 12. On the other hand, it can also make the latching accuracy of the chuck portion 32 in the latching space 12311 higher.

[0124] To further prevent the chuck portion 32 from wobbling within the latching space 12311, in some embodiments, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 and Figure 11 , Figure 11 yes Figure 2An exploded view of the massage head 100 from another perspective shows that the mating part 13 is provided with a relief groove 131 that matches the snap-fit ​​part 123. The snap-fit ​​part 123 is accommodated in the relief groove 131, and the bottom of the relief groove 131 is along the first direction ( Figure 2 (In the Z-axis direction) it presses against the chuck part 32.

[0125] By providing a relief groove 131 on the mating part 13 that matches the snap-fit ​​part 123, and by allowing the snap-fit ​​part 123 to be accommodated in the relief groove 131, the relief groove 131 can limit the position of the snap-fit ​​part 123, thereby making the assembly accuracy between the mating part 13 and the contact part 12 higher.

[0126] Additionally, by making the bottom of the clearance groove 131 along the first direction ( Figure 2 The chuck part 32 is pressed against the chuck part 32 in the Z-axis direction, which can clamp the chuck part 32 between the bottom wall of the latching space 12311 and the bottom of the relief groove 131 in the first direction. This prevents the chuck part 32 from shaking in the first direction, and thus better avoids the situation where the chuck part 32 shakes in the latching space 12311, which would cause the connection between the connector 3 and the contact 12 to be not firm enough. This makes the connection between the connector 3 and the contact 12 more reliable.

[0127] Furthermore, to better prevent the chuck portion 32 from wobbling within the latching space 12311, in some embodiments, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 A plug-in part 1311 is provided at the clearance groove 131. The plug-in part 1311 is inserted into the clearance groove 12312 and presses against the connecting part 31.

[0128] By inserting the plug 1311 into the relief groove 12312, the relief groove 12312 can limit the position of the plug 1311, thereby making the assembly accuracy between the mating part 13 and the contact part 12 higher.

[0129] In addition, by pressing the plug portion 1311 against the connecting portion 31, the plug portion 1311 can also fix the connecting portion 31, thereby making the connection between the connector 3 and the contact member 12 more reliable.

[0130] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 11 The contact element 12 has a first direction ( Figure 2The first mounting surface 124 of the mating part 13 is oriented towards the Z-axis direction. The mating part 13 has a second mounting surface 132 that matches the first mounting surface 124. The second mounting surface 132 is attached to the first mounting surface 124. The snap-fit ​​part 123 is disposed on the first mounting surface 124, and the clearance groove 131 is disposed on the second mounting surface 132.

[0131] By making the second mounting surface 132 fit against the first mounting surface 124, when the mating part 13 is fastened to the contact part 12, the mating part 13 and the contact part 12 can fit tightly together, thereby preventing external dust and other contaminants from entering the inner cavity 11 and contaminating the motor assembly 2, making the operation of the motor assembly 2 more stable.

[0132] In addition, when the contact member 12 has a first mounting surface 124 facing the mating member 13 in the first direction, the first mounting surface 124 can provide a position for setting the snap-fit ​​portion 123, making the processing of the snap-fit ​​portion 123 simple.

[0133] Similarly, when the mating part 13 has a second mounting surface 132 that matches the first mounting surface 124, the second mounting surface 132 can provide a position for setting the clearance groove 131, making the machining of the clearance groove 131 simpler.

[0134] To ensure a more stable and reliable connection between the motor assembly 2 and the housing 1 via the connector 3, in some embodiments, see [reference needed]. Figure 2 and Figure 10 There are multiple connectors 3, which are spaced apart along the periphery of the motor assembly 2.

[0135] By having multiple connectors 3 and arranging them at intervals along the periphery of the motor assembly 2, the motor assembly 2 can be connected to the housing 1 in all directions via the connectors 3, thereby enabling the motor assembly 2 to be more stably and reliably connected to the housing 1 via the connectors 3.

[0136] The number of connectors 3 can be as follows: Figure 10 The four shown are not limited to any one of the four connectors. Of course, the number of connectors 3 can also be other possible numbers, such as two, three or five. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0137] To avoid resonance between the housing 1 and the motor assembly 2, which would result in excessive noise during operation of the massage head 100, in some embodiments, the natural frequency of the housing 1 is different from the vibration frequency of the motor assembly 2.

[0138] When the natural frequency of the housing 1 is different from the vibration frequency of the motor assembly 2, resonance between the housing 1 and the motor assembly 2 can be avoided, thereby reducing the overall noise of the massage head 100 during operation and improving the user experience of the massage head 100.

[0139] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 and Figure 13 , Figure 12 yes Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the structure of the motor assembly 2 and connector 3 from another perspective. Figure 13 yes Figure 12 The exploded view of the motor assembly 2 and the connector 3 shows that the motor assembly 2 also includes: a wrapping member 23, which wraps around the motor body 21, and at least part of the peripheral wall of the wrapping member 23 does not contact the cavity wall of the inner cavity 11. The connector 3 is connected to the wrapping member 23 and the housing 1 respectively.

[0140] Since the wrapping component 23 encloses the motor body 21, it provides protection for the motor body 21, making its operating environment safer. Furthermore, it isolates at least some of the noise generated during motor body 21 operation, resulting in quieter operation of the motor assembly 2 and a better overall user experience with the massage head 100. Additionally, it prevents the connector 3 from directly connecting to the motor body 21, thus avoiding any potential damage to the motor body 21.

[0141] There are multiple ways to implement the aforementioned package 23. In one possible implementation, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 13 The package 23 includes a motor protective shell 231 and a noise reduction package 232. The motor protective shell 231 is wrapped around the motor body 21, and the noise reduction package 232 is wrapped around the motor protective shell 231. At least part of the peripheral wall of the noise reduction package 232 does not contact the cavity wall of the inner cavity 11. The connecting member 3 is connected to the noise reduction package 232 and the shell 1 respectively. The flexibility of the noise reduction package 232 is greater than that of the motor protective shell 231.

[0142] Since the motor protective shell 231 is wrapped around the motor body 21 and the noise reduction wrapping component 232 is wrapped around the motor protective shell 231, the motor protective shell 231 can be used specifically to protect the motor body 21 and the noise reduction wrapping component 232 can be used specifically to reduce noise. In this way, the protection and noise reduction effects on the motor body 21 can be better.

[0143] In addition, by making the noise reduction package 232 more flexible than the motor protective shell 231, the noise reduction package 232 and the motor protective shell 231 can be combined in a soft and hard way, so that the package 23 has a certain rigidity and a certain flexibility at the same time, thus making the protection and noise reduction performance of the motor body 21 better and more balanced.

[0144] In some embodiments, see Figure 13 The noise-reducing wrapping component 232 and the connecting component 3 are integrally formed. This design reduces the number of parts in the massage head 100, making its structure simpler. Furthermore, when assembling the motor assembly 2 into the housing 1, it is only necessary to connect the connecting component 3 to the housing 1, without considering the connection between the connecting component 3 and the noise-reducing wrapping component 232. Therefore, the assembly steps of the massage head 100 are simplified, and the assembly efficiency of the massage head 100 is improved.

[0145] This application also provides a massage device 1000, see [link]. Figure 3 The massage device 1000 includes a massage head 100.

[0146] The structure of the massage head 100 can be the same as that of any of the massage heads 100 described in the above embodiments, and can bring the same or similar beneficial effects. For details, please refer to the description of the massage head 100 in the above embodiments. This embodiment will not repeat the description here.

[0147] In this embodiment, since the massage head 100 provides a higher level of massage comfort and a better massage experience, when the massage device 1000 includes the massage head 100, the massage device 1000 can provide a higher level of massage comfort and a better massage experience.

[0148] It should be noted that the massage device 1000 mentioned above can be a shoulder and neck massager, a waist massager, a head massager, or a leg massager, etc. This embodiment does not limit the massage device 1000.

[0149] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
