In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the said features. In the description of the present invention, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integral connections. They may refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections. They may refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary, and they may refer to internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a flexible swinging device, including a motor fixing frame 1, a motor 2, a rocker arm 3 and a connecting member 4, wherein the motor 2 is fixedly installed in the motor fixing frame 1, the rotating shaft of the motor 1 is placed outside the motor fixing frame 1, an eccentric mechanism 5 is provided on the rotating shaft of the motor 2, the rocker arm 3 is respectively hinged to the port of the motor fixing frame 1, the connecting member 4 is a flexible body, the middle part of the connecting member 4 is connected to the output shaft of the eccentric mechanism 5, the side extensions of the connecting member 4 are connected to the connecting rod 41, and the connecting rod 41 is respectively connected to the rocker arm 3.

[0019] This embodiment directly uses the flexible connecting member 4 as a transmission, directly eliminating the use of gears and connecting rods, making the overall transmission mechanism very simple, effectively reducing costs, and making assembly very simple. There is no need to consider the precise engagement of gears and the precise overlap between connecting rods, and there is no transmission friction between gears and connecting rods, eliminating the use of lubricating oil, and reducing the load on motor 2.

[0020] During specific transmission, the number of rocker rods 3 is preferably four, and the motor 2 generates a rotational force, so that the eccentric mechanism 5 outputs a circular path along a certain diameter for rotation, and the connecting member 3 connected to the eccentric mechanism 5 is a flexible body, and the side ends of the connecting member 3 are respectively connected to the rocker rod 3, so when the eccentric mechanism 5 drives the connecting member 4 to move, the connecting member 4 and the connecting rod 41 are constantly deformed. Only when the moving direction corresponds to the active direction of the rocker rod 3, will the rocker rod 3 be pushed to move. Each rocker rod 3 will swing once for every rotation, thus completing the swinging work.

[0021] Furthermore, as for the material of the connecting member 4, silicone material is preferably used. Of course, other flexible materials that can meet the above-mentioned transmission function can also be used.

[0022] Furthermore, regarding the specific structural design of the eccentric mechanism 5, the eccentric mechanism 5 of this embodiment comprises a rotating block 51 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of the motor 2. An upright 52 is disposed eccentrically on the rotating block 51. A sleeve 53 is fixedly mounted on the upright 52. A first annular groove 54 is formed around the sleeve 53. A first opening 42 is disposed in the middle of the connecting member 4. The connecting member 4 is fitted into the first annular groove 54 by deforming at the first opening 42. Thus, when the rotating shaft of the motor 2 rotates, it first drives the rotating block 51 to rotate. Because of its eccentric design, the upright 52 on the rotating block 51 follows a circular path of a specific diameter. When the connecting member 4 is mounted on the upright 52, it also rotates along a circular path, thus meeting the aforementioned transmission requirements. Furthermore, the use of the first opening 42 and the first annular groove 54 for assembly facilitates installation while also ensuring stable installation due to the elastic deformation force of the connecting member 4.

[0023] Furthermore, regarding the connection between the rocker arm 3 and the connecting rod 41, this embodiment also adopts an easy-to-install assembly method, that is, a second annular groove 31 is provided on the rod body of the rocker arm 3, and a second sleeve 43 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 41. The connecting rod 41 is sleeved in the second annular groove 31 through its own deformation at the second sleeve 43.

[0024] In addition, it should be noted that when this embodiment is used in a massage instrument, the motor fixing frame 1 is installed inside the instrument, and the top end of the rocker arm 3 is used to connect to the massage head.

[0025] At the same time, when used as a massager, in order to enhance the massage effect, the motor 2 of this embodiment is a double-headed motor. One of the rotating shafts of the motor 2 is connected to the eccentric mechanism 5, and the other rotating shaft of the motor 2 is provided with an eccentric wheel 21. In this way, when the swing arm 3 is swinging for massage, the same motor 2 also generates eccentric vibration, providing a vibration massage effect.

[0026] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
