Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figures 1 to 8 The specific embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides a massage device 100, which can generate massage effects such as negative pressure, vibration and clamping, and can massage different parts of the body such as the back, muscles of various parts of the body and eyes, so that a massage device 100 can massage different parts of the body and perform different massage methods according to different parts of the body.

[0032] Reference Figure 3 The massage device 100 includes a battery 20, a housing 10, an air extraction assembly 60, a clamping assembly 30, and massage elements 70. One end of the housing 10 is closed, and the other end contacts the area to be massaged. The battery 20 and the air extraction assembly 60 are housed inside the housing. When the massage device 100 contacts the area to be massaged, the air extraction assembly 60 draws air from inside the housing 10 and expels it to the outside of the massage device 100, creating a negative pressure inside the housing 10, thus performing a suction massage on the area to be massaged. The clamping assembly 30 is disposed inside the housing 10 and connected to the massage elements 70, thereby enabling the massage elements 70 to move closer together or further apart, kneading and massaging the area to be massaged.

[0033] The outer casing 10 includes a housing 11, a connecting plate 13, and a massage cover 15. The housing 11 has a U-shaped cross-section, closed on one side and open on the other. The housing 11 forms a receiving space (not shown) communicating with the opening to accommodate the battery 20, circuit board, etc. The connecting plate 13 is installed on the open side of the housing 11, covering the opening. The massage cover 15 has a funnel structure, with one end connected to one end of the connecting plate 13 and the other end able to contact the area to be massaged, covering the area to be massaged. It is understood that the outer casing 10 can be integrally formed, or the housing 11, connecting plate 13, and massage cover 15 can be detachably connected to each other.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 Specifically, an exhaust hole 112 is provided on the outer side wall of the housing 11. The exhaust hole 112 is connected to the receiving space of the housing 11 and communicates with the outside of the housing 11.

[0035] The housing 11 has through holes 110 on both sides that are symmetrical to each other, which communicate with the outside, allowing the clamping assembly 30 to protrude from the outside of the housing 11 through the through holes 110.

[0036] The housing 11 is made of a rigid material, such as rigid plastic. A protective cover 40 is fitted over the housing 11. One end of the protective cover 40 is connected to the connecting plate 13, and it completely covers the housing 11 and the portion of the clamping assembly 30 that extends through the housing 11. The protective cover 40 is made of a soft material, and its shape is adapted to the assembled shape of the housing 11 and the clamping assembly 30. The protective cover 40 also has an vent hole corresponding to the vent hole 112. When the protective cover 40 is squeezed, gas flows from the vent hole 112 through the vent hole and is discharged from the massage device 100. It is understood that the housing 11 and the protective cover 40 can be fixedly connected to form a complete housing 11.

[0037] The connecting plate 13 is circular and includes an integrally formed main body 131 and a locking portion 133. The outer diameter of the main body 131 is smaller than the outer diameter of the locking portion 133, and the main body 131 extends protruding from one side of the locking portion 133. The locking portion 133 engages with the opening side of the housing 11 and is fixedly connected to the end of the protective cover 40. An air extraction hole 135 is also provided on the main body 131 facing the locking portion 133, and this air extraction hole 135 communicates with the receiving space of the housing 11. A massage cover 15 is connected to the side of the main body 131 near the locking portion 133.

[0038] A mounting hole 130 is provided through the middle of the main body 131 of the connecting plate 13. The mounting hole 130 communicates with the receiving space of the housing 11. A portion of the clamping assembly 30 passes through the mounting hole 130, so that the portion of the clamping assembly 30 is located inside the massage cover 15.

[0039] The massage cover 15 has a roughly funnel-shaped structure, meaning its cross-sectional area gradually increases. The end with the smaller cross-sectional area is connected to the engaging part 133, and the other end is connected to the area to be massaged. The massage cover 15 and the air extraction hole 135 are interconnected. After the massage cover 15 comes into contact with the area to be massaged, the air inside the massage cover 15 is drawn into the housing 11 through the air extraction hole 135. The air inside the housing 11 is then discharged outside the housing 11 through the exhaust hole 112. This creates a negative pressure state inside the massage cover 15 after it comes into contact with the area to be massaged, such as the back, resulting in a tight, negative pressure massage effect.

[0040] The massage cover 15 and the connecting plate 13 are connected in a detachable manner, including but not limited to threaded connections, snap-fit ​​connections, plug-in connections, and magnetic connections. In this embodiment, the massage cover 15 and the connecting plate 13 are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, so that the massage cover 15 can be quickly removed when only kneading and massaging the area to be massaged. The massage cover 15 is made of soft material.

[0041] The clamping assembly 30 is scissor-shaped and includes a mounting shell 50, intersecting first clamping portions 31 and second clamping portions 33, and an elastic member 35. One end of the mounting shell 50 engages with the end of the mounting hole 130, and the other end extends towards the massage cover 15. The mounting shell 50 is located inside the massage cover 15 and moves relative to it to achieve clamping and releasing movements. The mounting shell 50 covers the outside of the first clamping portions 31 and 33, which partially penetrate the housing 11, and the massage member 70 connected to their ends. One end of the first clamping portions 31 and 33 penetrates the housing 11 and is externally fitted with a protective cover 40. The middle portions of the first clamping portions 31 and 33 are located inside the housing 11 and are rotatably connected to it. The other ends of both the first clamping portions 31 and 33 extend through the mounting hole 130 to the outside of the housing 11 and are respectively connected to the massage member 70.

[0042] Specifically, the mounting housing 50 includes an integrally formed mounting plate 51 and two mounting portions 53. The mounting plate 51 snaps into the mounting hole 130 near the end of the main body 131. Each mounting plate 51 is recessed inward to form two mounting holes for the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33 to pass through, so that the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33 drive the two mounting portions 53 to move closer or further apart, thereby achieving a tightening and releasing massage effect. The mounting portions 53 extend from one side of the mounting plate 51 and are located inside the massage cover 15, enclosing the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33 that pass through the mounting plate 51 and the massage member 70. The two mounting portions 53 are separately arranged, so that the two mounting portions 53 can move closer or further apart independently. The mounting portions 53 are made of a soft material, such as soft rubber, so that the area to be massaged is clamped and kneaded by the soft mounting portions 53.

[0043] The connecting shaft 37 passes through the middle of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 33 and is fixedly connected to the housing 11. This allows the connecting shaft 37 to move relative to the housing 11 and to be rotatably connected to it. Consequently, the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 33 move closer to or further away from each other with the connecting shaft 37 as their intersection point. One end of each of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 33 passes through the mounting hole 130 and is located outside the housing 11, respectively connecting to the massage member 70, and is located together with the massage member 70 in the mounting part 53. The first clamping part 31 is mounted in one mounting part 53, and the second clamping part 33 is mounted in the other mounting part 53. The other ends of the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33 both extend from the through hole 110 of the housing 11 and are located outside the housing 11. A portion of the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33 contacts the inner wall of the through hole 110, limiting the included angle between the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33, thereby forming an angle with the central axis of the housing 11. An elastic member 35 is connected between the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33, thereby providing an elastic force between the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33. When the user clamps one end of the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33 (one end of the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33 moves towards each other), the elastic member 35 is tightened between the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33, causing the elastic member 35 to elastically deform and bend. At this time, the other ends of the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33 move towards each other. When the user releases one end of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 33, they can quickly reset under the elastic action of the elastic member 35. One end of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 33 moves away from each other, while the other end moves away from each other, thus restoring their original state. That is, when the two clamping parts are squeezed towards the housing 11, the massage members 70 move closer together to knead the area to be massaged. When the external force applied to the two clamping parts is removed, under the action of the elastic member 35, the clamping assembly 30 returns to its initial state, the two massage members 70 move away from each other, and relax the muscles.

[0044] Reference Figure 5The air extraction assembly 60 includes a first one-way valve 61 and a second one-way valve 63. The first one-way valve 61 is located on the main body 131, covering the air extraction port 135, while the second one-way valve 63 is located on the housing 11, covering the exhaust port 112. When the massage cover 15 covers the area to be massaged and compresses the protective cover 40, the gas inside the housing 11 is compressed, and the pressure gradually increases. When the pressure increases to a certain level, the second one-way valve 63 on the housing 11 is pushed open by the gas inside the housing 11, moving inwards and away from the exhaust port 112. Thus, the exhaust port 112 is unobstructed, and the gas inside the housing 11 is discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 112, i.e., one-way exhaust. At this time, the inside of the protective cover 40 is under negative pressure, while the first one-way valve 61 is pressed down by the gas inside the housing 11 due to the pressure difference, continuing to block the air extraction port 135, thus retaining the gas inside the massage cover 15. When the user releases the protective cover 40, it gradually returns to its original state. At this time, the first one-way valve 61 is pushed open due to the pressure difference and moves away from the main body 131 and away from the vent 135. The gas inside the massage cover 15 then escapes from the vent 135 into the housing 11, creating a negative pressure state inside the massage cover 15. Simultaneously, the second one-way valve 63 moves again towards the exhaust vent 112 due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the housing 11, and covers the exhaust vent 112 again, leaving the gas that escaped from the massage cover 15 inside the housing 11. When the above operation is repeated, squeezing the protective cover 40 and then resetting it, the gas inside the housing 11 and the massage cover 15 is continuously discharged, and the massaged area receives a tight, negative pressure massage effect.

[0045] Two massage members 70 are respectively connected to the ends of the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 33, and are respectively housed in a mounting part 53. A vibration motor 71 is also installed on the end of the massage member 70, so that the massage member 70 can not only produce kneading massage on the human body, but also vibrate massage to relax muscles.

[0046] Understandably, in other embodiments, the massage member 70 may also be part of the first clamping portion 31 and the second clamping portion 33, that is, the massage member 70 and the clamping assembly 30 are integrally formed. Furthermore, the massage member may be made of a flexible material or a rigid material.

[0047] The ends of the massage cover 15 and the massage element 70 are on the same plane, which can simultaneously realize negative pressure massage and kneading massage of the area to be massaged, or the massage element 70 is located inside the massage cover 15, which can perform negative pressure massage or kneading massage such as clamping and releasing of the area to be massaged.

[0048] Reference Figure 6When a kneading and negative pressure massage is needed on the back, align the open end of the massage cover 15 with the back and squeeze the clamping component 30 toward the housing 11, so that the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 33 move closer to each other toward the direction of squeezing the housing 11. Then release the clamping component 30, and the housing 11 and the clamping component 30 return to their initial state. Repeat the operation, and the air in the massage cover 15 is discharged into the housing 11 through the air extraction hole 135, and then discharged to the outside through the exhaust hole 112. The back is in a negative pressure tension state, and the muscles on the back are also in a state of kneading, relaxing and vibrating massage.

[0049] Reference Figure 7 When only kneading and vibration massage of human muscles, such as hand and foot muscles, is needed, the massage device 100 can be turned on before removing the massage cover 15. The end of the massage piece 70 begins to vibrate. One hand holds the massage piece 70 against the muscles on the foot or hand, while the other hand squeezes the clamping assembly 30, causing the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 33 to move towards each other, thereby kneading and vibration massage of the muscles. Under the action of the elastic member 35, the first clamping part 31 and the second clamping part 33 move away from each other and reset, and the muscles begin to relax. By repeating the operation, the muscles can achieve the kneading and vibration massage effect.

[0050] When the area to be massaged only needs vibration massage, simply turn on the battery 20 switch and align the end of the massage piece 70 with the area to be massaged, and the muscles will begin to be subjected to vibration massage force.

[0051] Reference Figure 8 Furthermore, a heating element 73 is also attached to the side of the massage piece 70 or the mounting part 53 that is close to each other. When the eyes are tired from looking at the screen for a long time and need to be massaged between the eyes, the massage piece 70 can be placed between the eyes. By squeezing the clamping component 30, the clamping component 30 clamps the area between the eyes, providing a squeezing and releasing massage while gently kneading and massaging with a slight heat, thereby relaxing the optic nerve.

[0052] The massage device 100 of this application has three massage modes: kneading, vibration and negative pressure, which can contact different parts to be massaged, such as the back, hand and foot muscles and the eyes.
