[0039] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the utility model provides an embodiment of a massage appliance.

[0041] The massage device includes a shell 1, a control component and a first massage mechanism. The shell 1 is provided with a rubber sleeve 12. The first massage mechanism includes a chamber 123 formed on the rubber sleeve 12, that is, the chamber 123 is provided on the rubber sleeve 12, and the chamber 123 is provided with a through hole 125 and an opening 124; the control component includes a control circuit board 31 and an air pump 32 connected to the control circuit board 31, and the air inlet of the air pump 32 is connected to the chamber 123 through a through hole 126. Under the control of the control circuit board 31, the air pump causes the air pressure of the chamber coordinated with the massage part to change, thereby changing the chamber air pressure and chamber size.

[0042] Specifically, the housing 1 includes an upper shell 10 and a lower shell 11 that cooperates with the upper shell 10 to form a space for mounting the control assembly 3. The surface of the housing 1 is covered with a rubber sleeve 12, which is typically elastic or flexible, such as silicone. The rubber sleeve 12 defines a chamber 123, the sidewalls of which are integrally formed with the sleeve 12. The chamber 123 has an opening 124 at the massage end. The end surface of the opening 124 is curved, which increases the contact area between the massage area and the massaged area, enhances airtightness, and improves the comfort and effectiveness of the massage. The edge of the opening 124 may be provided with two grooves 125, which form a V- or U-shaped structure with the end surface of the opening 124. This allows for easier adjustment of the chamber 123 size and control of the opening's direction during massage. The control circuit board 31 includes control circuitry and control buttons, and can be powered by a battery 38 or by connecting to an external power source via a power interface.

[0043] During operation, the opening 124 of the chamber 123 is aligned with the massage area, that is, the chamber is covered over the massage area through the opening 124. Under the control of the control circuit board 31, the air pump 32 causes the air pressure in the chamber 123 aligned with the massage area to change, thereby changing the air pressure and size of the chamber 123. When the air pressure decreases, the chamber 123 becomes smaller under the action of atmospheric pressure. The opening 124 of the chamber 123 made of elastic or flexible material such as silicone shrinks slightly in the direction perpendicular to the line connecting the two grooves 125. When the air pressure decreases, the chamber 123 and the opening 124 restore their shapes, thereby producing a hand-kneading massage effect. When the control circuit board 31 periodically controls the operation of the air pump 32, a continuous hand-kneading massage effect can be produced. The change in the size of the chamber 123 is determined by the change in air pressure during operation. Since massage is achieved by changing the air pressure in the chamber formed by the elastic rubber sleeve and by changing the shape of the opening 124 through the change in air pressure, the massage becomes gentler and the massage intensity can be continuously adjusted by controlling the chamber pressure, thereby improving the user experience.

[0044] In this embodiment, the side wall 121 of the chamber 123 gradually increases in thickness from the inside to the outside, so that the space of the chamber 123 can be reduced, and when the air pump is working, it is easier to reduce the air pressure, which makes it easier to change the size of the chamber, change the opening 124, and better realize the hand-kneading massage process. The chamber 123 increases in size from the inside to the outside in the length direction. A control valve 36 is provided between the air pump 32 and the chamber 123. When working, the air pressure holding time of the chamber 123 can be controlled by controlling the air valve 36. The tongue 122 is not connected to the side wall of the chamber. It adopts an elastic pick. Its material is the same as that of the rubber sleeve 12, and both are elastic or flexible, such as silicone material. The tongue 122 and the rubber sleeve 12 are integrally formed. The through hole 126 is located at the bottom of the chamber 123, which can avoid the massage part from affecting the through hole during use.

[0045] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the rubber sleeve further includes a tongue 122, which is disposed within the chamber 123 and is controlled by the control assembly. The tongue 122 is made of the same material as the rubber sleeve and is preferably an integral structure, which can increase the connection strength of the tongue 122 and extend its service life.

[0046] Building on the above embodiment, the present invention also provides another embodiment. The first massage mechanism further includes a first vibration motor 331 and a fixing base 332 for securing the first vibration motor 331. The fixing base 332 is provided with a mounting cavity (not shown in the figures) and a mounting slot 3321 communicating with the mounting cavity. The wiring connecting the first vibration motor 331 to the control circuit board 31 passes through the mounting slot 3321. Under the control of the control circuit board 31, the first vibration motor 331 drives the tongue 122 to vibrate and massage. During installation, the first massage mechanism 33 is typically mounted within a cavity (not shown in the figures) on the tongue 122. The cavity is preferably slightly larger than the first massage mechanism 33 to avoid a tight fit. During operation, the control circuit board 31 controls the first vibration motor 331 to produce a vibration massage on the tongue 122. As needed, the first vibration motor 331 and the air pump 32 can be controlled independently or in conjunction. When controlled in conjunction, multiple massage effects can be combined, including tongue-flicking swing massage, hand-kneading massage, and vibration massage, thereby enhancing the massage effect.

[0047] As needed, the first massage mechanism also includes a reduction motor 34. The output shaft of the reduction motor 34 is connected to the fixed base 332. Controlled by the control circuit board 31, the reduction motor 34 drives the first vibration motor 33 to produce a swinging massage for the plucking tongue 122. When the first vibration motor 331 is in operation, both a swinging massage and a vibration massage for the plucking tongue 122 can be achieved. The reduction motor 34 includes a motor 341, a reduction gear set (not shown) connected to the motor 341, and an output shaft 342 connected to the reduction gear set. The output shaft 342 includes an output end connected to the fixed base 332 and an input end connected to the reduction motor. An angle a is defined between the input and output ends. This angle allows the first vibration motor 331 to rotate when the output shaft 342 rotates, producing a swinging massage effect for the plucking tongue 122. The angle a between the input and output ends is between 120 and 175 degrees. To control the degree of swing, the angle a is preferably between 165 and 173 degrees.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, the massage device further includes a second massage mechanism 2, which is located at the other end away from the first massage mechanism. The second massage mechanism 2 includes a massage body 21 and a second vibration motor 22 located on the massage body. The second vibration motor 22 is connected to the control circuit board 31. During operation, under control, the second vibration motor 22 causes the massage body 21 to produce a vibration massage. The vibration massage, swing massage, and hand-kneading massage in the second massage mechanism 2 and the first massage mechanism can be controlled independently or in conjunction with each other. The control method can be set according to actual needs. The housing 1 is provided with a fixing portion for mounting the massage body 21. The fixing portion includes a protrusion along the length direction, and a fixing groove 101 is annularly distributed on the surface of the protrusion.

[0049] The massage portion of the massage body 21 is equipped with a massage ball. The diameter of the massage ball is larger than the minimum diameter of the massage body 21, but smaller than the maximum diameter of the massage body 21. The diameter of the massage body 21 gradually decreases from the housing to the massage ball. This structure allows the massage ball to generate a vibration swing even when the second vibration motor 22 has a small vibration, thereby reducing noise during massage by controlling the vibration amplitude of the second vibration motor 22. This design also allows for more comprehensive massage area. When the massage body 21 has a certain elasticity, this allows the massage ball to vibrate more gently, improving the massage experience.

[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements or combinations on some structures (technical features) in one or more embodiments, and these modifications or replacements or combinations do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention, unless the embodiments explicitly exclude the possibility of replacing or combining structures (technical features) in different embodiments, or such replacement or combination is contrary to the overall concept of the utility model.
