[0010] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0011] The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have an intervening component present.

[0012] Figures 1 to 4 The massage device 100 of this application is shown.

[0013] The massage device 100 includes a housing 30, a massage component 50, and a drive unit 70. The massage device 100 of this application can be made into a massage pillow, having a cushioning material 10, such as sponge, covering at least a portion of the housing 30 (e.g., the sides and bottom). The cushioning material 10 has, for example, grooves, in which the housing 30 is installed. This allows the user to rest their head on the massage device 100 for a massage, or lean against the massage device for a massage. Therefore, the user can use the massage device 100 of this application in a sleeping or leaning position, which is convenient and does not cause any burden to the user.

[0014] The housing 30 includes an upper cover 30a and a lower cover 30b. The upper cover 30a and the lower cover 30b together form a receiving space 300, in which the housing 30 houses the drive unit 70. A massage member 50 is mounted on the upper surface of the upper cover 30a of the housing 30. The drive unit 70 is connected to the massage member 50 through an opening passing through the upper surface of the upper cover 30a of the housing 30.

[0015] The drive unit 70 is disposed in the receiving space 300 and includes a drive unit 710 and a gear set component 720. In this embodiment, the gear set component 720 includes a first gear set 720A, a second gear set 720B, a third gear set 720C, and a fourth gear set 720D.

[0016] The drive unit 710 has a motor capable of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy and a rotating shaft 730 that rotatably outputs mechanical energy. The rotating shaft 730 is connected to a gear set member 720, which in turn connects to the massage member 50. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 730 includes a first rotating shaft 731 and a second rotating shaft 732, which serve as the output ends of the motor of the drive unit 710 and are located at opposite ends. The first rotating shaft 731 and the second rotating shaft 732 have helical teeth and may be worm gears, rotating when driven by the drive unit 710.

[0017] The first gear set 720A and the second gear set 720B are driven to opposite sides of the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating shaft 731. The third gear set 720C and the fourth gear set 720D are driven to opposite sides of the outer peripheral surface of the second rotating shaft 732. Furthermore, with the drive unit 710 as a reference, the first gear set 720A and the second gear set 720B are symmetrically driven to both sides of one axial end of the drive unit 710, and the third gear set 720C and the fourth gear set 720D are symmetrically driven to both sides of the other axial end of the drive unit 710.

[0018] In this embodiment, the drive unit 710 is disposed inside the housing 30 with its first rotating shaft 731 and second rotating shaft 732 parallel to the bottom surface of the housing 30, but is not limited thereto and can be disposed according to actual needs.

[0019] The first gear set 720A meshes with the tooth surface on one side of the first rotating shaft 731. In this embodiment, the first gear set 720A includes a first gear 722L as an input gear, a second gear 723L as an input gear, and a third gear 724L as an output gear. In top view, the rotating shafts of the first gear 722L, second gear 723L, and third gear 724L are vertically arranged, but this is not a limitation and can be configured according to actual needs. The first gear 722L meshes with the tooth surface on one side of the first rotating shaft 731, the second gear 723L is fixedly connected to the first gear 722L, and the second gear 723L meshes with the third gear 724L. The third gear 724L is used for fixed connection with the massage member 50. The first gear 722L can be a worm gear, and the first rotating shaft 731 can be a worm gear connection, thus the first gear 722L and the first rotating shaft 731 can be a worm gear connection. The second gear 723L can be connected to different layers in a manner that is coaxial and rotates synchronously with the first gear 722L. For example, the first gear 722L and the second gear 723L can be configured as a double gear. The size of the first gear 722L is set to be larger than that of the second gear 723L, thus allowing the second gear 723L to reduce its output speed. The size of the third gear 724L can be set to be larger than that of the second gear 723L, thus allowing the third gear 724L to further reduce its output speed, but this is not a limitation and can be designed according to actual needs. Furthermore, the number of gears included in the first gear set 720A is not limited to three and can be arbitrarily set according to the housing space 300.

[0020] The second gear set 720B meshes with the tooth surface on the other side of the first rotating shaft 731. In this embodiment, the second gear set 720B includes a first gear 722R, a second gear 723R as input gears, and a third gear 724R as output gears. The configuration of the first gear 722R, the second gear 723R, and the third gear 724R included in the second gear set 720B is the same as that of the first gear 722L, the second gear 723L, and the third gear 724L included in the first gear set 720A, except that their positions are symmetrical and opposite (i.e., mutually symmetrical) with respect to the drive unit 720. Here, only the suffix is ​​used to indicate the difference between the two. In addition, when referring to them collectively, the suffix is ​​omitted in the description. That is, when viewed from above, the rotating shafts of the first gear 722R, the second gear 723R, and the third gear 724R are each arranged vertically, but this is not limited to this and can be arranged according to actual needs. The first gear 722R meshes with the tooth surface of one side of the first rotating shaft 731. The shaft of the second gear 723R is fixedly connected to the shaft of the first gear 722R. The second gear 723R meshes with the third gear 724R, which is used to fixally connect to the massage component 50. The first gear 722R can be a worm gear, and the first rotating shaft 731 can be a worm gear, thus the first gear 722R and the first rotating shaft 731 can be connected as a worm gear. The second gear 723R can be connected to different layers in a manner that is coaxial with and rotates synchronously with the first gear 722R. For example, the first gear 722R and the second gear 723R can be configured as a double gear. The size of the first gear 722R is set to be larger than that of the second gear 723R, so that the second gear 723R can reduce the output speed. The size of the third gear 724R can be set to be larger than that of the second gear 723R, so that the third gear 724R can further reduce the output speed, but it is not limited to this and can be designed according to actual needs. Furthermore, the number of gears included in the second gear set 720B is not limited to three, and can be arbitrarily set according to the housing space 300.

[0021] Since the first gear 722L and the first gear 722R are meshed on opposite tooth surfaces of the first rotating shaft 731, the first gear 722L and the first gear 722R rotate in opposite directions. The first gear 722L sequentially drives the second gear 723L and the third gear 724L to rotate in the same direction as the first gear 722L. The first gear 722R sequentially drives the second gear 723R and the third gear 724R to rotate in the same direction as the first gear 722R. As a result, the third gear 724R and the third gear 724L rotate in opposite directions.

[0022] In the housing 30, the drive unit 710 is horizontally arranged, and the gear shafts of the gear set 720 are vertically arranged. This arrangement helps to reduce the height of the housing 30. When the massage device 100 is used for head and / or neck massage and is placed on the user's head and / or neck, it can prevent the massage device 100 from being too high and causing discomfort to the user.

[0023] Furthermore, the third gear set 720C and the fourth gear set 720D are meshed on opposite tooth surfaces of the second rotating shaft 732 and are symmetrically positioned on both sides of the drive unit 710. The configuration of the third gear set 720C is the same as that of the first gear set 720A on the first rotating shaft 731 side, and the configuration of the fourth gear set 720D is the same as that of the second gear set 720B on the first rotating shaft 731 side. That is, the third gear set 720C has the same first gear 722L, second gear 723L, and third gear 724L as the first gear set 720A, and the fourth gear set 720D has the same first gear 722R, second gear 723R, and third gear 724R as the second gear set 720B. Therefore, detailed descriptions are omitted here.

[0024] The massage component 50 includes a pair of neck massage parts 521A and 521B, a pair of head massage parts 522A and 522B, and multiple transmission connectors 51. The first gear set 720A, the second gear set 720B, the third gear set 720C, and the fourth gear set 720D are respectively connected to the pair of neck massage parts 521A and 521B and the pair of head massage parts 522A and 522B via the transmission connectors 51, thereby driving the massage component 50 to oscillate.

[0025] Each transmission connector 51 is disposed above the output gears (third gear 724L and third gear 724R) of each gear set 720A to 720D, and is used to connect each gear set 720A to 720D to a pair of neck massage parts 521A and 521B and a pair of head massage parts 522A and 522B.

[0026] In this embodiment, the transmission connector 51 is designed as an eccentric wheel, including a wheel 510 and a first connecting portion 511 and a second connecting portion 512 disposed on the wheel 510. The first connecting portion 511 is coaxial with the wheel 510 and passes through the wheel 510 to be fixedly connected to the shaft of the output gears of each gear set 720A to 720D. The second connecting portion 512 is offset from the first connecting portion 511 and is fixedly connected to a pair of neck massage parts 521A and 521B and a pair of head massage parts 522A and 522B. Thus, when the output gears (third gear 724L and third gear 724R) of each gear set 720A to 720D rotate, the first connecting portion 511 is coaxial with and rotates synchronously with the output gears of the gear sets 720A to 720D, and the second connecting portion 512 performs a circular motion around the first connecting portion 511. Therefore, driven by the drive unit 710, each gear set 720A to 720D drives the transmission connector 51 to rotate, and the transmission connector 51 further drives a pair of neck massage parts 521A and 521B and a pair of head massage parts 522A and 522B to oscillate.

[0027] A pair of neck massage units 521A and 521B are symmetrically arranged and protruding, while a pair of head massage units 522A and 522B are symmetrically arranged and recessed. The neck massage units 521A and 522A, and the head massage units 521B, are both elongated in shape, collectively enclosing the head and neck. The recessed areas of the head massage units 522A and 522B contain a flexible material such as silicone, improving user comfort and preventing head displacement during massage, as well as avoiding inaccurate positioning that could result in a weak massage effect.

[0028] The raised neck massage parts 521A and 521B can simulate the kneading motion of a human fist or fingers during lateral movement, thus increasing the massage effect. The concave head massage parts 522A and 522B can simulate the kneading motion of a human palm during lateral movement, thus increasing the massage effect.

[0029] Neck massage units 521A and 521B oscillate in opposite directions on the left and right sides of the drive unit 710, and head massage units 522A and 522B oscillate in opposite directions on the left and right sides of the drive unit 710. Furthermore, the oscillation movements of the pair of neck massage units 521A and 521B and the pair of head massage units 522A and 522B are synchronized. By offsetting the second connecting portion 512 connected to the head massage unit and the second connecting portion 512 connected to the neck massage unit on the same side, for example, in the initial state, the second connecting portion 512 connected to the head massage unit 522A is located to the left of the corresponding first connecting portion 511, and the second connecting portion 512 connected to the neck massage unit 521A is located to the right of the corresponding first connecting portion 511, allowing the head massage unit and neck massage unit 521A to oscillate left and right for massage.

[0030] Furthermore, the neck massage unit 521A and the head massage unit 522A can be integrated or separate. Similarly, the neck massage unit 521B and the head massage unit 522B can be integrated or separate. When the neck massage unit 521A and the head massage units 522A, 521B, and 522B are both separate, the dimensions, rotation direction, and position of each gear in the third gear set 720C and the fourth gear set 720D on the second rotating shaft 732 side do not necessarily need to be the same as the gears in the first gear set 720A and the second gear set 720B on the first rotating shaft 731 side; they only need to be symmetrically identical on the same output shaft side. Furthermore, when the neck massage unit 521A and the head massage unit 522A, as well as the neck massage unit 521B and the head massage unit 522B, are all separate units, the relative position and distance between the first connecting portion 511 and the second connecting portion 512 in the transmission connector 51 connected to the neck massage unit 521A need not be the same as those in the transmission connector 51 connected to the head massage unit 522A. Furthermore, depending on the desired massage mode, the relative positions and distances between the first connecting part 511 and the second connecting part 512 of the two transmission connecting parts 51 connected to the same output shaft side can be made symmetrical on the left and right sides of the drive part 710, so that the massage parts connected to the same output shaft side can perform symmetrical massage actions. However, it is not limited to this, and asymmetrical massage actions can also be performed, simply by changing the relative positions of the first connecting part 511 and the second connecting part 512.

[0031] When the massage device is in use, the drive unit 710 drives the output gears of each gear set to rotate via the rotating shaft 730. Since they are connected to the opposite side of the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating shaft 731, when the left tooth of the first rotating shaft 731 pushes the right tooth of the first gear 722L to move downward along the left tooth surface of the first rotating shaft 731, at the same time the right tooth of the first rotating shaft 731 pushes the left tooth of the first gear 722R to move downward along the right tooth surface of the first rotating shaft 731. As a result, the first gear 722L rotates clockwise, and the first gear 722R rotates counterclockwise. Conversely, when the left tooth of the first shaft 731 pushes the right tooth of the first gear 722L to move upward along the left tooth surface of the first shaft 731, the right tooth of the first shaft 731 pushes the left tooth of the first gear 722R to move upward along the right tooth surface of the first shaft 731 in the same way. As a result, the first gear 722L rotates counterclockwise and the first gear 722R rotates clockwise. Next, the second gear 723L, the third gear 724L, the transmission connector 51, and the neck massage part 521A (or head massage part 522A) connected in sequence to the first gear 722L rotate without changing direction. The second gear 723R, the third gear 724R, the transmission connector 51, and the neck massage part 521B (or head massage part 522B) connected in sequence to the first gear 722R rotate without changing direction. When the first connecting part 511 and the second connecting part 512 in the transmission connector 51 connected to the first gear set 720A are symmetrical with the first connecting part 511 and the second connecting part 512 in the transmission connector 51 connected to the second gear set 720B, while the second connecting part 512 of one transmission connector 51 moves clockwise around the first connecting part 511, the second connecting part 512 of the other transmission connector 51 moves counterclockwise around the first connecting part 511. Similarly, in the two transmission connectors 51 of the first gear set 720C and the fourth gear set 720D, while the second connecting portion 512 of one transmission connector 51 moves clockwise around the first connecting portion 511, the second connecting portion 512 of the other transmission connector 51 moves symmetrically counterclockwise around the first connecting portion 511. Thus, driven by the transmission connectors 51, the neck massage portions 521A, 521B and the head massage portions 522A, 522B follow the swaying movement of the second connecting portion 512, and the neck massage portions 521A, 521B are symmetrical to each other, as are the head massage portions 522A, 522B, thereby enabling kneading and squeezing massage actions.

[0032] Furthermore, it is understood that in some embodiments of this application, the first rotating shaft 731 and the gear sets 720A and 720B, the transmission connector 51, and the neck massage parts 521A and 521B on the side of the first rotating shaft 731 can be omitted, or the second rotating shaft 732 and the gear sets 720C and 720D, the transmission connector 51, and the head massage parts 522A and 522B on the side of the second rotating shaft 732 can be omitted.

[0033] The massage device 100 according to this application can simultaneously massage the head and neck, improving the massage effect and efficiency.

[0034] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
