[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] like Figure 1As shown in Figure 4: An ear acupressure massager includes a headband 1, with outer shells 2 connected to both ends of the headband 1. A cover 3 is connected to one end of the outer shell 2. A controller 4 is mounted on the outer shell 2. An angle adjustment assembly 8 and a massage drive assembly 9 are installed inside the outer shell 2. An earmuff 7 is connected to the end of the cover 3 facing away from the outer shell 2, and a movable plate 5 is mounted on the inner side of the cover 3. The movable plate 5 has multiple slots for mounting massage heads 6. The angle adjustment assembly 8 includes a servo motor 81, which drives a drive gear 82. The drive gear 82 meshes with the driven gear 83. The massage drive assembly 9 includes a motor 91, which drives a rotating disk 92. An eccentric pin 93 is mounted on the rotating disk 92 and is slidably inserted into a slider 94. The slider 94 is connected to one end of a connecting shaft 96, and the other end of the connecting shaft 96 is connected to a moving plate 5. The driven gear 83 is fixed to the outside of the connecting shaft 96. The moving plate 5 is rotated by the servo motor 81, and the massage head 6 mounted on the moving plate 5 is manually adjusted to ensure that the massage head 6 is aligned with the ear acupoints.The reciprocating movement of the massage head 6 is achieved using a crank-slider mechanism, simulating manual massage techniques to enhance the massage effect. Two limiting protrusions 61 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the massage head 6. The massage head 6 and the limiting protrusions 61 are integrally formed elastic rubber structures. The two limiting protrusions 61 are respectively attached to the end faces of the moving plate 5. The massage head 6 and the limiting protrusions 61 can elastically deform and squeeze into the slots on the moving plate 5, quickly and stably locking onto the moving plate 5. They can also be removed from the moving plate 5 after elastic deformation. Multiple massage heads 6 are equidistantly spaced along the radial direction of the moving plate 5. The moving plate 5 and the driven gear 83 are collinear. The angle adjustment component 8 controls the rotation of the moving plate 5 and the massage head 6 according to the desired ear acupoints. Then, the operator retains one of the massage heads 6 in a suitable position, allowing the retained massage head 6 to correspond to the ear requiring massage. At the acupoint location, the length of the driven gear 83 is not less than the reciprocating stroke length of the connecting shaft 96. During the reciprocating movement of the connecting shaft 96, the driving gear 82 and the driven gear 83 always remain meshed, ensuring the reliability of the angle adjustment component 8. A limiting groove 95 is formed on the inner wall of the outer shell 2. The two ends of the slider 94 are slidably installed in the limiting groove 95. The limiting groove 95 serves to limit and guide, effectively ensuring the stability of the slider 94's movement. The moving plate 5 is slidably installed in the cover 3. The moving plate 5 has a circular plate structure, allowing it to slide smoothly in a straight line within the cover 3 and rotate unimpeded. The headband 1 has an elastic U-shaped plate structure, and the earmuffs 7 are sponge structures covered with leather. The headband 1 allows the massager to adapt to different user head shapes, providing stable support while reducing pressure. The earmuffs 7 improve the feel and breathability during wear.

[0034] The working principle of this technical solution is as follows: After connecting the power supply, the servo motor 81 is controlled to run according to the location of the ear acupoints to be massaged. The servo motor 81 drives the drive gear 82 to rotate, and the drive gear 82 meshes with the driven gear 83 to rotate, thereby driving the moving plate 5 and the massage head 6 installed on the moving plate 5 to rotate. Then, the operator keeps one of the massage heads 6 in a suitable position, so that the massage head 6 installed on the moving plate 5 corresponds to the ear acupoint to be massaged. The massager can then be worn on the head, with the sponge earmuff 7 covering the outside of the ear, so that the massage head 6 is directly facing the acupoint to be massaged. Then, the motor 91 is started. The motor 91 drives the rotating disk 92 to rotate. The eccentric pin 93 installed on the rotating disk 92 slides in the slider 94, and drives the slider 94 to move back and forth linearly under the limit of the limiting groove 95, thereby driving the connecting shaft 96 and the moving plate 5 to move back and forth. When the moving plate 5 moves, it drives the massage head 6 to massage the ear acupoints.
