Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of massagers, and in particular to a blower structure and a hand massager. Background Technology

[0002] Because the human hand has a large number of acupoints, Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that massaging and stimulating these acupoints can effectively promote blood circulation and benefit physical and mental health. Therefore, with improved living standards, the demand for hand massagers has increased. However, existing massagers, except for the hand opening, are mostly sealed. Especially in summer, the hand environment becomes hot and humid, causing discomfort, especially for users who experience sweaty hands.

[0003] To address this issue, a hand massager with a built-in fan for cooling has been introduced to the market. The fan blows directly onto the palm, but the airflow area is small, and there is a cloth cover between the fan and the palm, resulting in poor heat dissipation. Except for the palm, the rest of the hand can hardly feel the airflow.

[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the many shortcomings and inconveniences caused by the imperfect structural design of existing hand massagers. Through in-depth conception and active research and development, this utility model was developed and designed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing hand massagers, which can only blow air onto the palm, have a small blowing area, and poor heat dissipation, and to provide a blowing structure that can achieve rapid air blowing and heat dissipation of the palm.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0007] A blower structure, characterized in that: it includes a fan and a duct housing, the fan is fixedly mounted on a support, the fan has a fan outlet, the duct housing has an annular duct, one end of the duct housing is provided with an air inlet that connects to the annular duct, the air inlet is connected to the fan outlet, and the top or bottom surface of the duct housing is provided with at least one air outlet that connects to the annular duct.

[0008] Furthermore, the air outlet of the air duct shell is provided with an inclined surface, and the side of the annular air duct opposite to the air outlet is provided with a flow guide rib, which is provided with an inclined guide surface in the same direction as the inclined surface of the air outlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the air duct housing includes an upper air duct housing and a lower air duct housing. The upper air duct housing and the lower air duct housing are fastened together to form the annular air duct. The air outlet is located on the top surface of the upper air duct housing, and the air duct housing is provided with the air guiding ribs.

[0010] Furthermore, the blowing structure also includes a guide pipe, one end of which is connected to the air outlet of the blower, and the other end is connected to the air inlet of the duct housing.

[0011] Furthermore, the drainage pipe includes an upper drainage shell and a lower drainage shell, which are fastened together, and at least one drainage pipe outlet is provided on the top surface of the upper drainage shell.

[0012] Another objective of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing hand massagers, which can only blow air onto the palm, have a small blowing area, and poor heat dissipation, and to provide a hand massager whose blowing structure can achieve rapid air blowing and heat dissipation of the palm.

[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the solution of this utility model is:

[0014] A hand massager includes a housing, a support, a massage component, and a palm blower mechanism. The palm blower mechanism adopts the aforementioned blower structure. The support is disposed inside the housing and has a palm heat dissipation area for the air duct housing. The air duct housing is installed in the palm heat dissipation area and has a massage inner ring at its center. The massage head of the massage component is disposed inside the massage inner ring. The main body cloth cover is disposed on the outer periphery of the air duct housing, and the mechanism cloth cover is disposed on the inner ring of the air duct housing.

[0015] Furthermore, the front end of the outer casing is provided with an inlet, the rear end of the outer casing is provided with a vent, and the outer casing is provided with a finger blower mechanism on one side of the vent. The finger blower mechanism includes a blower fan, a front cover, and an air duct cover adapted to and connected to the front cover. An acceleration channel is formed between the front cover and the air duct cover. The outlet of the blower fan is connected to the acceleration channel. The finger air vent of the acceleration channel is constructed into a slit shape. The airflow blown by the blower fan flows through the acceleration channel and then flows out of the finger air vent at an accelerated speed, so that a pressure difference is formed between the inside and outside of the vent, thereby introducing the air around the vent into the hand massage area to form an airflow circulation.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer shell includes an upper shell and a lower shell, which are fastened together by screws after being snapped together. The bracket includes an upper bracket and a lower bracket, with the upper bracket fixedly installed on the upper shell and the lower bracket fixedly installed on the lower shell. A hand massage area for inserting a hand is formed between the upper bracket and the lower bracket. The lower bracket is provided with a palm heat dissipation area for the air duct shell.

[0017] Furthermore, the massage assembly includes an air pump, an air valve, an upper air bag, a lower air bag, a massage head, and a six-finger air bag. The upper air bag, the lower air bag, and the six-finger air bag are connected to the air valve via air pipes. The air valve is connected to the air pump, and the massage head is connected to a transmission mechanism. The upper air bag is fixed on the upper support and located on the top surface of the hand massage area, while the lower air bag is fixed on the lower support and located on the bottom surface of the hand massage area.

[0018] Furthermore, the inner massage ring is provided with a core cloth cover, which is fixed by the massage head cloth pressure plate and local hanging points. The massage head supports the core cloth cover from the inner massage ring of the air duct shell. The six-finger air bag is sewn onto the main body cloth cover, which is fitted onto the outer ring of the air duct shell. The bottom of the main body cloth cover also has an opening corresponding to the palm heat dissipation area of ​​the lower bracket.

[0019] With the above structure, this hand massager features an annular air duct around the massage head, connected to a fan. When the massage head is in operation, both the massaged area and the massage head generate heat. The air blown from the outlet of the annular air duct dissipates heat from these components. The main body cover and massage head cover are positioned on the outer and inner rings of the air duct housing, respectively, allowing the air blown from the annular air duct to directly reach the hand, achieving rapid cooling of the palm.

[0020] This utility model can further include a finger-blowing mechanism at the vent of the housing. The finger-blowing mechanism can generate airflow from the vent towards the inlet of the housing to ventilate and dissipate heat in the hand massage area. Combined with the palm-blowing mechanism, it can achieve the combined effect of dual fans, which can also achieve heat dissipation more quickly, improve the technical level of the industry, and enhance competitiveness.

[0028] To further explain the technical solution of this utility model, the following detailed description is provided through specific embodiments.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model discloses a hand massager, which includes a housing 1, a support 2, a massage component 3 and a palm blower component 4 disposed inside the housing 1.

[0031] The hand-held blower mechanism 4 is positioned on the support 2 at the location corresponding to the palm. The hand-held blower mechanism 4 includes a fan 41, a drain pipe 42, and an air duct housing 43. The fan 41 is fixedly mounted on the support 2 and has a fan outlet 411. The air duct housing 43 has an annular air duct 431 inside. One end of the air duct housing 43 has an air inlet 432 that connects to the annular air duct 431. The top or bottom surface of the air duct housing 43 has at least one air outlet 433 that connects to the annular air duct 431. The air outlet 433 faces the user's palm. That is, if the air duct housing 43 is located at the top inside the outer shell 1, the air outlet 433 faces downward. If the air duct housing 43 is located at the bottom inside the outer shell 1, the air outlet 433 faces upward, so that the air outlet 433 can directly blow air onto the palm or back of the hand, thereby better achieving hand heat dissipation. One end of the drain pipe 42 is connected to the air outlet 411 of the fan 41, and the other end is connected to the air inlet 432 of the air duct housing 43. After the fan 41 is started, the air enters the drain pipe 42 from the air outlet 411, then enters the annular air duct 431 of the air duct housing 43 from the drain pipe 42, and is then blown out through the air outlet 433 at the top or bottom of the air duct housing 43 to cool down the palm.

[0032] In this embodiment, the air outlet 433 of the air duct housing 43 is provided with a slope 434 for guiding airflow. A guide rib 435 is provided on the side of the annular air duct 431 opposite to the air outlet 433. The guide rib 435 has a sloped guide surface 436 arranged in the same direction as the slope 434 of the air outlet 433. By providing a slope at the air outlet 433 and a guide rib 435 within the annular air duct 431, the direction of the airflow blowing out of the annular air duct 431 can be controlled, reducing airflow resistance and allowing the airflow to diffuse evenly after exiting the air outlet 433, thus improving the overall ventilation effect.

[0033] In this embodiment, the duct housing 43 includes an upper duct housing 437 and a lower duct housing 438. The upper duct housing 437 and the lower duct housing 438 are correspondingly fastened together to form the annular duct 431. The air outlet 433 is provided on the top surface of the upper duct housing 437, and the lower duct housing 438 is provided with the air-guiding ribs 435. The air-guiding pipe 42 includes an upper air-guiding housing 421 and a lower air-guiding housing 422. The upper air-guiding housing 421 and the lower air-guiding housing 422 are fastened together. At least one air-guiding pipe outlet 423 can be provided on the top surface of the upper air-guiding housing 421. Providing an air-guiding pipe outlet 423 on the air-guiding pipe 42 can increase the air outlet area.

[0034] This utility model has a fan 41 installed under the palm. After the fan 41 blows air, it forms an annular air duct 431 around the massage head through the upper shell 437 and the lower shell 438. The main body cover and the core cover are set on the outer and inner rings of the annular air duct 431, so that the air at the bottom can be blown directly to the hand, realizing rapid air blowing and heat dissipation of the palm.

[0035] The outer casing 1 includes an upper casing 11 and a lower casing 12, which are fastened together by screws. The front end of the outer casing 1 has an inlet 13 for hand access, and the rear end has a ventilation opening 14. The support 2 includes an upper support and a lower support 22. The upper support is fixedly mounted on the upper casing 11, and the lower support 22 is fixedly mounted on the lower casing 12. A hand massage area for hand insertion is formed between the upper and lower supports 22. In this embodiment, the lower support 22 has a palm heat dissipation area 221 for the air duct casing 43.

[0036] The massage component 3 is located within the massage area for massaging the hands. It includes an air pump 31, an air valve 32, an upper air bag 33, a lower air bag 34, a massage head 35, and a six-finger air bag 36. The upper air bag 33, lower air bag 34, and six-finger air bag 36 are connected to the air valve 32 via air pipes. The air valve 32 is connected to the air pump 31. The massage head 35 is connected to a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism is fixedly mounted on the lower support 22 or the lower housing 12, located between the lower support 22 and the lower housing 12. The transmission mechanism is an existing structure, and its transmission method can be, for example, gear transmission, worm gear transmission, belt transmission, etc. The air duct housing 43 of the palm blower component 4 has a massage inner ring 439 at its center for the massage head 35 to pass through, and the massage head 35 passes through the massage inner ring 439 to massage the palm. The core cloth cover is fitted onto the massage inner ring 439 of the air duct housing 43, and the core cloth cover is fixed by the massage head cloth pressure plate 37 and local hanging points. The massage head 35 supports the movement cover from the inner massage ring 439 of the air duct housing 43. At this time, the annular air duct is visible from the outside, sandwiched between the main body cover and the movement cover. When the blower is turned on, air can be blown out from the air outlet 433 of the annular air duct 431, allowing the palm to dissipate heat quickly.

[0037] The upper air bag 33 is fixed to the upper support and located on the top surface of the hand massage area, while the lower air bag 34 is fixed to the lower support 22 and located on the bottom surface of the hand massage area. The six-finger air bag 36 is sewn onto the main fabric cover. The upper and lower supports 22 are assembled as a single unit, and then the upper air bag 33 and the main fabric cover are assembled. The main fabric cover also has openings at the bottom corresponding to the palm heat dissipation area 221 of the lower support 22, and is fitted onto the outer ring of the air duct housing 43. The main fabric cover can cover the support 2, upper air bag 33, lower air bag 34, and other structures, while the direct contact of the main fabric cover with the hand makes the massage feel more comfortable. The inflation and deflation processes of the upper and lower air bags 33 and 34 can simulate massage-like movements such as kneading, pressing, and pushing, to relieve muscle fatigue and relax the hands. The massage head 35 can massage the palm.

[0038] This utility model features a finger-blowing device 5 on one side of the vent 14 of the outer casing 1. The finger-blowing device 5 includes a blower fan 51, a front cover 52, and an air duct cover 53 adapted to and connected to the front cover 52. An acceleration channel is formed between the front cover 52 and the air duct cover 53. The outlet of the blower fan 51 is connected to the acceleration channel. The finger-blowing port 54 of the acceleration channel is constructed as a slit. The airflow blown by the blower fan 51 flows through the acceleration channel and then accelerates out of the finger-blowing port 54, creating a pressure difference between the inner and outer sides of the vent 14. This draws air from the outer periphery of the vent 14 into the hand massage area, forming an airflow circulation. For the specific structure of the finger-blowing device 5, please refer to the prior patent CN116999307A.

[0039] This invention features a finger-blowing mechanism 5 located at the vent 14 of the outer casing 1. This mechanism generates airflow from the vent 14 towards the inlet 13 of the outer casing 1, providing ventilation and heat dissipation to the hand massage area. Inside the outer casing 1, a palm-blowing mechanism 4 is also provided. This mechanism, independent of the main body of the cloth cover, generates an upward airflow to ventilate and dissipate heat from the massage area (palm or back of hand) of the massage head 35 (where heat accumulates after a period of massage). This dual-blowing mechanism design combines the blowing effects and achieves faster heat dissipation, improving the industry's technical level and competitiveness. When the air is released, the airflow dissipates the heat, providing a more comfortable experience.

[0040] The above embodiments and figures are not intended to limit the product form and style of this utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art should be considered as not departing from the patent scope of this utility model.
