[0055] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described below in combination with embodiments and drawings.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The controller 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a housing 10, a circuit board 20, a plurality of control buttons 30 and a connecting arm 40. The housing 10 is provided with a button hole 101, and the circuit board 20 is arranged in the housing 10. The plurality of control buttons 30 are arranged at intervals, and the control buttons 30 are arranged in the button hole 101 and correspondingly arranged with contacts on the circuit board 20. The control buttons 30 are configured to be in contact with the contacts on the circuit board 20 under the action of pressing to trigger the circuit board 20 to output a signal.

[0057] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adjacent two control buttons 30 are connected by the connecting arm 40 to connect the plurality of control buttons 30 into one body. The connecting arm 40 has a connecting point 40a for connecting the adjacent two control buttons 30. The length of the center of gravity connecting line of the adjacent two control buttons 30 is S, and the length between the projections of the connecting points 40a of the connecting arm 40 connecting the adjacent two control buttons 30 on the center of gravity connecting line is L, L≥S.

[0058] The present application connects the plurality of control buttons 30 into one body by arranging the connecting arm 40 between the adjacent two control buttons 30, simplifies the component structure of the control button 30, and thus can effectively simplify the assembly process of the control button 30. In the assembly process, the installation of the control button 30 and the housing 10 can be completed at one time, avoiding the process that the control button 30 needs to be installed multiple times in the whole machine assembly process, thereby improving the assembly efficiency, which is conducive to improving the production efficiency, and also simplifying the number of key parts, reducing the material cost. At the same time, by making the length between the projections of the connecting points 40a of the connecting arm 40 connecting the adjacent two control buttons 30 on the center of gravity connecting line greater than or equal to the center of gravity connecting line of the adjacent two control buttons 30, the length of the connecting arm 40 between the adjacent two control buttons 30 can be longer, thereby reducing the mutual influence when pressing the control buttons 30.

[0059] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 4The connecting point 40a on the connecting arm 40 can be understood as a middle position of the end of the connecting arm 40. In the embodiment, if a straight line passing through the centers of two adjacent control buttons 30 is taken as a reference, the vertical points of the connecting points 40a of the connecting arm 40 used for connecting the two adjacent control buttons 30 are located on the two sides of the centers of the two control buttons 30.

[0060] In order to avoid the influence of pressing any control button 30 on other control buttons 30, the length of the connecting arm 40 in the above embodiment is set to be greater than or equal to the length of the line connecting the centers of the two adjacent control buttons 30, so that the connecting arm 40 can be extended to a longer length, thereby avoiding the mutual influence when the control buttons 30 are pressed.

[0061] However, the inventor finds that if the connecting arm 40 is too long, the strength of the connecting arm 40 will be affected. Based on the above, in order to further improve the strength and design flexibility of the connecting arm 40, in a possible implementation, the projection of the connecting arm 40 on the plane of the line connecting the centers does not intersect the line connecting the centers.

[0062] It can be understood that the plurality of control buttons 30 are arranged at intervals, and the two adjacent control buttons 30 have a gap therebetween. The connecting arm 40 is arranged such that the projection thereof on the plane of the line connecting the centers does not intersect the line connecting the centers, that is, the connecting arm 40 does not pass through the gap between the two adjacent control buttons 30. If part of the connecting arm 40 is located in the gap formed between the two adjacent control buttons 30, that is, the connecting arm 40 passes through the gap between the two adjacent control buttons 30, in order to avoid interference between the connecting arm 40 and the control buttons 30, the size of the gap will be controlled according to the width of the connecting arm 40. If the width of the connecting arm 40 is set to be too large, the distance of the gap will be too large, which will result in a large distance between the two adjacent control buttons 30, which is not conducive to the compact structure of the control buttons 30. If the distance of the gap is small in order to avoid the compact structure of the control buttons 30, the width of the connecting arm 40 will be small, which cannot guarantee the structural strength of the connecting arm 40.

[0063] Therefore, by arranging the connecting arm 40 outside the periphery of the control buttons 30 and outside the gap formed between the two adjacent control buttons 30, the length of the connecting arm 40 can be reasonably controlled, so that the connecting arm 40 has a reasonable structural strength, and the design of the connecting arm 40 is not constrained by the distance of the gap between the two adjacent control buttons 30, so that the design space of the connecting arm 40 is larger and more flexible, thereby making the overall design of the control buttons 30 more flexible.

[0064] It should be noted that the plane of the center of gravity connecting line is the plane of the center of gravity connecting line passing through two adjacent control buttons 30, and is also the plane parallel to the surface of the shell 10 provided with the button hole 101.

[0065] In order to be able to realize the fixation of the control button 30, in one possible implementation, continuing to refer to Figures 3 to 5 The connecting arm 40 is provided with a positioning hole 401, and the shell 10 is provided with a positioning column 102 connected to the positioning hole 401. The connecting arm 40 is connected to the shell 10 by cooperating with the positioning hole 401 and the positioning column 102. By providing the positioning hole 401 on the connecting arm 40 and cooperating with the positioning column 102 on the shell 10, the positioning hole 401 and the positioning column 102 can be used to quickly and accurately position the control button 30 when installing the control button 30 into the button hole 101, and the installation of the control button 30 is completed.

[0066] Alternatively, the positioning column 102 can be a melting positioning column. After the positioning column 102 is inserted into the positioning hole 401, the positioning column 102 can be melted to fix the connecting arm 40 inside the shell 10, effectively realizing the stable connection of the connecting arm 40.

[0067] Alternatively, the number of the above-mentioned positioning hole 401 can be multiple, and correspondingly, the number of the positioning column 102 is also multiple and corresponds to the positioning hole 401 one by one. Among them, the multiple positioning columns 102 can be melting positioning columns 102, or part of the positioning columns 102 can only play a positioning role, and the other part of the positioning columns 102 can play a positioning role and then fix the connecting arm 40 on the shell 10 by melting.

[0068] In order to be able to reasonably use the structure of the connecting arm 40 to set the positioning hole 401, alternatively, continuing to refer to Figure 4The connecting arm 40 can include a first connecting portion 41 and a second connecting portion 42 connected to each other, and the positioning hole 401 is located at the connecting position of the first connecting portion 41 and the second connecting portion 42. Among the two adjacent control buttons 30, the first connecting portion 41 is connected to one of the control buttons 30, and the second connecting portion 42 is connected to the other control button 30. The length between the projection of the connecting point 40a where the first connecting portion 41 is connected to one of the control buttons 30 and the connecting point 40a where the second connecting portion 42 is connected to the other control button 30 on the gravity center line is L, and L≥S. By adopting the way of intersecting the first connecting portion 41 and the second connecting portion 42 to form the connecting arm 40, on the one hand, the length of the connecting arm 40 can be lengthened under the condition that the distance between the two adjacent control buttons 30 remains unchanged, so that when one of the control buttons 30 is pressed, the pressing of the other control buttons 30 will not be affected due to the limitation of the length of the connecting arm 40; on the other hand, the way of intersecting the first connecting portion 41 and the second connecting portion 42 to form the connecting arm 40 is equivalent to forming a bend on the connecting arm 40. When subjected to abnormal force, the connecting arm 40 can absorb part of the impact force through the bend, so as to avoid or reduce the probability of breaking the connecting arm 40, which helps to protect the control buttons 30.

[0069] In addition, since the connecting arm 40 is constructed by two connecting portions, the size of the connecting arm 40 is increased to a certain extent. In order to control deformation, the positioning hole 401 is arranged at the connecting position of the first connecting portion 41 and the second connecting portion 42 and connected with the positioning column 102 on the shell 10. On the basis of effectively realizing the positioning connection of the connecting arm 40, the strength of the connecting arm 40 itself can be effectively enhanced, so that the connecting arm 40 is more resistant to deformation.

[0070] In the case that the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 are connected to the side of the control button 30 far away from each other, the connecting arm 40 has enough length. In this case, if the length of the connecting arm 40 is longer, the connecting arm 40 is more likely to be deformed, which will affect the strength of the whole control button 30. In order to make the design of the connecting arm 40 more reasonable, optionally, the first connecting part 41 is an arc-shaped elastic arm protruding away from the control button 30 connected thereto, or the second connecting part 42 is an arc-shaped elastic arm protruding away from the control button 30 connected thereto, or the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 are arc-shaped elastic arms protruding away from the control button 30 connected thereto, respectively. By adopting the connecting part as the arc-shaped elastic arm protruding away from the control button 30, the protruding direction is away from the control button 30. In this way, the length of the connecting arm 40 can be shortened within a certain limit, and the setting position of the connecting arm 40 relative to the control button 30 is more compact. On the basis that the connecting arm 40 cannot easily cause mutual influence between the buttons, the connecting arm 40 is also not easy to be deformed. At the same time, the arc-shaped elastic arm is more elastic than the straight bar. When installing, the integral control button 30 is not easy to be damaged by external force, thereby being beneficial to improving the structural stability of the integral control button 30.

[0071] In a possible implementation, the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 are arranged at equal distances from the control button 30 connected thereto. By arranging the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 at equal distances from the outer peripheral edge of the control button 30, relative to the arrangement of the connecting arm 40 at unequal distances from the control button 30, in this way, the overall length of the connecting arm 40 can be controlled to the maximum, avoiding the situation that the connecting arm 40 is further lengthened and is more likely to be deformed, and making the structural layout of the whole control button 30 more reasonable, beautiful and compact.

[0072] It should be noted that, if the control button 30 is a circular button, the distance between the connecting part and the control button 30 can be the edge distance, referring to Figure 4 The distance can be represented by T, which is the distance from the edge of the connecting part to the edge of the control button 30.

[0073] Optionally, the connection between the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 corresponds to the interval between two adjacent control buttons 30. Since the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 intersect, that is, the connection between the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 is bent to a certain extent, by arranging the connection between the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 to correspond to the interval between two adjacent control buttons 30, the space can be effectively utilized, and the connection between the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 is arranged to correspond to the outer periphery of the control button 30, so that the connecting arm 40 extends outwardly of the control button 30, thereby avoiding the situation that the distance between the connecting arm 40 and the control button 30 is too dispersed, resulting in an uncompact structure.

[0074] Optionally, continuing to refer to Figure 4 , the connecting arm 40 can further include a bent part 43, the bent part 43 has a connection point 40a, the first connecting part 41 and / or the second connecting part 42 is connected to the bent part 43, the bent part 43 is connected to the control button 30 through the connection point 40a and is bent from the connection with the control button 30, so that the first connecting part 41 and the second connecting part 42 have a spacing between the control button 30 on the outer periphery of the control button 30. Wherein, the bent part 43 is arranged to have the same width as the first connecting part 41 or the second connecting part 42.

[0075] By forming the bent part 43 bent from the connection with the control button 30 on the connecting arm 40, the connection of the first connecting part 41 and / or the second connecting part 42 with the control button 30 can be realized, so that the first connecting part 41 and / or the second connecting part 42 have a spacing between the control button 30 on the outer periphery of the control button 30, and the width of the bent part 43 and the width of the connecting part are arranged to be equal, so that when the control button 30 is subjected to a force, the force transmission of the connecting arm 40 is uniform, local stress concentration is avoided, and the reliability of the connecting arm 40 is improved.

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the controller 100 includes a plurality of control buttons 30, in order to avoid the situation that the plurality of control buttons 30 integrally connected are assembled to the button hole 101 on the shell 10 in reverse or incorrectly, in one possible implementation, the controller 100 further includes a fool-proof structure (not shown) arranged between the control button 30 and the button hole 101, the fool-proof structure is used to prevent the control button 30 from being assembled in reverse. By arranging the fool-proof structure between the control button 30 and the button hole 101, the purpose of fool-proof is achieved, the situation that the button needs to be reassembled due to assembly failure is avoided, and the assembly efficiency of the button is effectively improved.

[0077] Optionally, the fool-proof structure can include a first fool-proof part and a second fool-proof part matched with the first fool-proof part. The first fool-proof part is a fool-proof protrusion arranged on one of the control keys 30 and the shell 10, and the second fool-proof part is a fool-proof groove 31a arranged on the other of the control keys 30 and the shell 10. The sizes and / or shapes and / or positions of the fool-proof protrusions or the fool-proof grooves 31a of the plurality of control keys 30 are different. Alternatively, the first fool-proof part is a plurality of positioning holes 401 arranged on the connecting arm 40, and the second fool-proof part is a plurality of positioning columns 102 arranged on the shell 10. The diameters and / or shapes and / or positions of each of the positioning columns 102 are different. Whether it is through the matching of the fool-proof protrusion and the fool-proof groove or through the matching of the positioning column 102 and the positioning hole 401, the structure of the control key 30 and the shell 10 itself can be fully utilized as a fool-proof structure, without the need to set other components as the first and second fool-proof parts. In this way, the fool-proof structure is simplified, and the installation of the control key 30 is facilitated. In particular, the positioning hole 401 and the positioning column 102 are used as a fool-proof structure, which can play a positioning and connecting role while serving as a fool-proof structure. This makes the structure multipurpose, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the control key 30 and improving the accuracy of positioning and the stability of connection of the control key 30.

[0078] For example, on two adjacent control keys 30, one limiting protrusion is arranged on the outer periphery of one of the control keys 30, and a corresponding limiting groove is arranged on the inner wall surface of the key hole 101 corresponding to the control key 30. Two limiting protrusions are arranged on the outer periphery of the other control key 30, and two corresponding limiting grooves are arranged on the inner wall surface of the key hole 101 corresponding to the control key 30. In this way, different numbers of limiting protrusions and limiting grooves 31a are used as fool-proof structures, and once they are installed in reverse, they cannot be completely matched, thereby effectively preventing mistakes.

[0079] In a possible implementation, the plurality of control keys 30 can include a first key 301 and two second keys 302 arranged side by side in the first direction X. The first key 301 is located between the two second keys 302, and the first key 301 and each second key 302 are connected by the connecting arm 40. By using three keys connected side by side to form an integrated control key 30, the space on the shell 10 of the controller 100 can be more reasonably utilized, and the contacts on the circuit board 20 can be more reasonably arranged.

[0080] In view of the three keys arranged side by side, the effective length of the connecting arm 40 needs to be ensured to avoid the situation that when one key is pressed, the other keys are triggered due to the short connecting arm 40. At the same time, the force balance between the three keys needs to be ensured. Optionally, the connecting point 40a of each connecting arm 40 connected with each second key 302 is arranged to coincide with the center of the first key 301 and the two second keys 302 in the first direction X, and the connecting point 40a of each connecting arm 40 connected with the first key 301 is arranged symmetrically relative to the center of the first key 301. Since the connecting point 40a of each connecting arm 40 connected with each second key 302 is arranged to coincide with the center of the first key 301 and the two second keys 302 in the first direction X, when the distance between the first key 301 and the second key 302 is constant, the connecting arm 40 can have sufficient extension length, which can reduce the influence caused in the process of pressing the key. At the same time, by arranging the connecting point 40a of each connecting arm 40 connected with the first key 301 symmetrically relative to the center of the first key 301, the force balance of the control key 30 as a whole can be ensured, and the balance of the force transmitted by the pressed key can be ensured, which reduces the influence on the adjacent keys.

[0081] Since the plurality of control keys 30 are integrally arranged by the connecting arm 40, and then the plurality of control keys 30 are installed together into the key hole 101 of the shell 10, at this time, the connecting arm 40 needs to abut against the inner wall surface of the shell 10 to prevent the control key 30 from being separated from the shell 10. It can be understood that the structural strength of the connecting arm 40 is weak, and it is easy to deform under a certain extension length. If only the abutting effect of the connecting arm 40 is relied on, it is inevitable that the unstable connection of the control key 30 and the key will be caused.

[0082] Based on this, referring to Figures 4 to 6The control button 30 can include a blocking portion 31, a pressing portion 32 and a triggering portion 33. The pressing portion 32 is arranged on the blocking portion 31 and is arranged in the button hole 101. The blocking portion 31 is located between the shell 10 and the circuit board 20 and abuts against the inner wall surface of the shell 10. A groove 31a is arranged on the side of the blocking portion 31 facing the circuit board 20. The groove 31a extends to the pressing portion 32 and is matched with the shape of the pressing portion 32. The triggering portion 33 is arranged corresponding to the groove 31a and at least part of the triggering portion 33 is connected to the pressing portion 32. The connecting arm 40 is connected to the outer periphery of the blocking portion 31. The pressing portion 32 is configured to move under the pressing action to drive the triggering portion 33 to contact the contact on the circuit board 20. By abutting the blocking portion 31 against the inner wall surface of the shell 10, the abutting effect of the control button 30 and the shell 10 is enhanced, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the control button 30 and the button hole 101. Meanwhile, the groove 31a is arranged on one side of the blocking portion 31 to correspond to the triggering portion 33. On the one hand, the weight of the pressing portion 32 is reduced, which is conducive to the lightweight of the control button 30. On the other hand, the groove 31a is matched with the shape of the pressing portion 32, which is easier to process.

[0083] Exemplarily, when the plurality of control buttons 30 include a first button 301 and two second buttons 302 arranged side by side along the first direction X, the first button 301 can be a power button, and the two second buttons 302 can be vibration intensity adjustment buttons or heating temperature adjustment buttons respectively. At this time, the pressing portion 32 of the first button 301 can be circular, and the pressing portions 32 of the two second buttons 302 can be "+" and "-" shapes respectively, so that the formation of the pressing portion 32 matches the function of the button.

[0084] Optionally, the control button 30 can further include a plurality of elastic columns 34 arranged around the center of the triggering portion 33 and close to the edge of the blocking portion 31. One end of the elastic column 34 is connected to the blocking portion 31, and the other end of the elastic column 34 extends towards the circuit board 20. When the pressing portion 32 is pressed, the elastic column 34 will contact the circuit board 20 and be gradually compressed, which will provide a damping feeling for the button pressing, so that the pressing feeling is better. At the same time, the elastic column 34 will buffer the pressing force to prevent the button from being damaged due to excessive pressure. When the external pressure is removed, the elastic column 34 is reset under the action of its own elasticity and pushes the pressing portion 32 to reset, so that the control button 30 is reset to the initial state.

[0085] Referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8The application also discloses a massage device 200, comprising a massage main body 201, a massage structure 202 and a controller 100 as in the above embodiment, the massage main body 201 is used for wearing to a part to be massaged, the massage structure 202 is arranged on the massage main body 201, and the controller 100 is arranged on the massage main body 201 and is spaced apart from the massage structure 202. The circuit board 20 of the controller 100 can be electrically connected with the massage structure 202, and the function control of the massage structure 202 can be realized by operating the control button 30.

[0086] The massage device 200 can be a joint massage device 200, for example, a massage device for knees, elbows and the like. Of course, in some other embodiments, the massage device 200 can also be a neck massage device 200, a waist massage device 200 and the like. Hereinafter, the application of the massage device 200 to knee massage will be taken as an example for description.

[0087] Optionally, the massage main body 201 has a first end 201a and a second end 201b opposite to each other along a length direction Y of the massage main body 201, the massage structure 202 is arranged adjacent to the first end 201a, the controller 100 is arranged adjacent to the second end 201b, and the control button 30 of the controller 100 is arranged close to an edge of the second end 201b; and / or, the projection of the massage structure 202 and the controller 100 on a plane perpendicular to the length direction Y of the massage main body 201 at least partially overlaps.

[0088] In order to facilitate the operation of the controller 100, the controller 100 is arranged at one end of the massage main body 201 along the length direction Y of the massage main body 201, and on this basis, the control button 30 is also arranged adjacent to an edge of the massage main body 201, so that the convenience of pressing the control button 30 can be further improved. In addition, the projection of the controller 100 and the massage structure 202 on the plane perpendicular to the length direction Y of the massage main body 201 at least partially overlaps, so that when the massage device 200 is worn to a joint part such as a knee or an elbow, the massage structure 202 can face the bone of the leg or the arm, and the controller 100 will not deviate to both sides, so that when massaging, the muscles on both sides of the knee patella can achieve the massage effect of rolling and flinging, thereby ensuring the consistency of the massage effect and improving the massage experience.

[0089] It can be understood that the massage device 200 applied to the knee generally has a flexible massage body 201, in order to ensure the stability of the installation of the controller 100, in one possible implementation, the massage body 201 can have a flexible installation surface 201c, and the massage device 200 can further include a mounting seat 203, which is arranged inside the massage body 201, and the mounting seat 203 is provided with a connecting structure 203a, the controller 100 is connected with the mounting seat 203 through the connecting structure 203a, and the flexible installation surface 201c is located between the controller 100 and the mounting seat 203. By arranging the mounting seat 203 on the massage body 201 and connecting the controller 100, after the assembly of the controller 100 is completed, the connection with the massage body 201 can be realized through the mounting seat 203, so that the installation of the controller 100 and the massage body 201 is more convenient, and at the same time, the mounting seat 203 can provide hard support for the installation of the controller 100, and by clamping the flexible installation surface 201c between the mounting seat 203 and the controller 100, the installation of the controller 100 can be more stable.

[0090] It should be noted that the mounting seat 203 is a hard mounting seat, which can provide a hard installation part for the flexible massage body 201 for the installation of the controller 100.

[0091] Alternatively, the connecting structure 203a can include at least one of a magnetic structure, a buckle structure and a threaded structure. When the connecting structure 203a is a magnetic structure, the controller 100 is connected to the mounting seat 203 by adsorption, which is not only convenient to install, but also allows the controller 100 to be used at any time, greatly improving the convenience of the massage device 200. When the connecting structure 203a is a buckle structure, the controller 100 and the massage body 201 can be stably connected on the basis of the buckle structure, which also facilitates the installation of the controller 100. By forming the structure of the mounting seat 203 and the controller 100 shell itself, no additional connecting parts are needed, the assembly process is simplified, and the convenience of the controller 100 installation is improved. The connecting structure 203a can also be a threaded structure to realize the stable installation of the controller 100 and the mounting plate.
