[0044] This invention discloses a massage arm for use in a massager. The massager is equipped with a drive shaft that drives the massage arm to reciprocate. Further, in some embodiments, the drive shaft can serve as the output shaft of a drive motor, meaning the drive motor can directly drive the massage arm to reciprocate; this can be achieved simply by rotating the drive motor in both directions. In some embodiments, the drive shaft can also be driven by a drive motor, which can indirectly rotate the drive shaft via a coupling or other transmission structure, thereby driving the massage arm to reciprocate.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the massage arm includes:

[0046] The arm 100 includes a buffer section 200 and a massage section 300. The arm 100 has a first end 110 and a second end 120. The massage section 300 is connected to the first end 110 of the arm 100 through the buffer section 200. The second end 120 of the arm 100 is used to connect the arm 100 to the drive shaft 600. The arm 100 is connected to the drive shaft 600 through the second end 120. At this time, the drive shaft 600 can drive the second end 120 to make the arm 100 swing back and forth. When the arm 100 swings back and forth, the buffer section 200 and the massage section 300 provided on the arm 100 can swing along with it, so that the massage arm can perform a massage action. When the massage head 300 is applied to the human body, since the massage head 300 is connected to the first end 110 of the arm 100 through the buffer part 200, the buffer part 200 can provide a certain cushioning effect when the massage arm massages the human body, reducing the problem of stiffness in the massage. Compared with the rigid connection between the massage head 300 and the arm 100 in the prior art, the buffer part 200 can provide a soft connection between the massage head 300 and the arm 100, which can solve the problem of the massage head being relatively stiff during massage. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the buffer part 200 can be made of silicone, springs, or other cushioning components. It should be noted that when the buffer part 200 is made of silicone, springs, or other cushioning components, the massage head 300 can be connected to the first end 110 of the arm 100 through silicone. Specifically, the silicone is fixed to the first end 110 of the arm 100, and the massage head 300 is fixed to the silicone. In this way, when the massage arm massages, the silicone material buffer part 200 can provide a certain cushioning effect for the massage head 300. Furthermore, when the buffer 200 is selected as a spring, the spring needs to have a certain stiffness so that the spring can support the massage part 300.

[0047] In one embodiment, the buffer portion 200 is configured as an elastic telescopic member; the first end 110 of the arm portion 100 is provided with a support portion 130, a limiting portion 140, and a guide portion 150 protruding from the support portion 130; the massage portion 300 is slidably disposed on the guide portion 150. In some embodiments, the guide portion 150 is disposed inside the massage portion 300, that is, the massage portion 300 can be sleeved on the guide portion 150 and slidably engaged with the guide portion 150. In some embodiments, the guide portion 150 can be disposed outside the massage portion 300, in which case the massage portion 300 is inserted into the guide portion 150, so that the massage portion 300 can also slide along the guide portion 150. The support portion 130 is connected to one end of the elastic telescopic member, and the other end of the elastic telescopic member abuts against the massage portion 300. Furthermore, in some embodiments, when the first end 110 is provided with a guide portion 150, the elastic telescopic member can be configured as a spring, wherein the spring can be a helical spring, a gas spring, etc. Furthermore, the spring is disposed on the outside of the guide portion 150. At the same time, when a helical spring is selected, the helical spring can be sleeved on the outside of the guide portion 150.

[0048] Thus, during the massage process, the massage arm applies pressure to the human body, and the reaction force generated by the human body will act on the massage arm 300. At this time, the massage arm 300 is under pressure. When the massage arm 300 is under pressure, it can slide along the guide portion 150 and toward the support portion 130, so that the elastic telescopic member is deformed under pressure. The deformation of the elastic telescopic member under pressure can buffer the massage arm 300 and reduce the stiffness of the massage arm 300 during the massage.

[0049] When the massage part 300 is removed from the human body, the reaction force generated by the human body gradually dissipates from the massage part 300, and the massage part 300 is relieved of pressure. When the massage part 300 is relieved of pressure, the elastic telescopic member allows the massage part 300 to slide along the guide part 150 and away from the support part 130. During the process of restoring its deformation, the elastic telescopic member generates elastic force, and under the action of elastic force, the massage part 300 slides along the guide part 150 and away from the support part 130. During the sliding process, in order to prevent the massage part 300 from slipping off the support part 130, a limiting part 140 is provided. The limiting part 140 can restrict the massage part 300 to the guide part 150. In some embodiments, the limiting part 140 can be a protrusion provided on the guide part 150. In this case, the massage part 300 can slide back and forth between the protrusion and the support part 130. Due to the restriction of the protrusion, the massage part 300 will not detach from the guide part 150 when sliding on the guide part 150. Furthermore, it should be noted that the application of pressure and the release of pressure are a process. The application of pressure to the massage part 300 should be understood as the massage part 300 gradually being pressed, and the contact of the massage part 300 with pressure should be understood as the massage part 300 gradually releasing pressure.

[0050] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 The massage unit 300 includes a support 310 and a massage body 320. The massage body 320 is fixedly mounted on the support 310. Further, the massage body 320 can be configured as a shell structure, with the support 310 disposed within the shell structure of the massage body 320. In some embodiments, the massage body 320 can be an arc-shaped plate structure, in which case the arc-shaped plate structure of the massage body 320 can be fixed outside the support 310. Further, in this embodiment, the support 310 and the massage body 320 are fixed together by screws. In some embodiments, the support 310 and the massage body 320 can also be fixed together by snap-fit. The support 310 is slidably disposed on the guide portion 150, and the limiting portion 140 can restrict the support 310 within the guide portion 150, wherein the support 310 can be sleeved on the guide portion 150, such that the guide portion 150 is located inside the support 310. In some embodiments, the guide portion 150 can be located outside the support 310, and the support 310 slides along the guide portion 150.

[0051] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3The bracket 310 is provided with a stepped hole 330, and the guide part 150 is slidably disposed in the stepped hole 330. That is, the guide part 150 is disposed inside the bracket 310. The limiting part 140 is located in the stepped hole 330 and fixed to the guide part 150. The stepped hole 330 has a first step 331. Furthermore, when the massage part 300 is pressed, the bracket 310 can slide along the guide part 150 toward the support part 130, while compressing the elastic telescopic member. At this time, the first step 331 moves away from the limiting part 140. When the massage part 300 is released from pressure, the elastic telescopic member allows the bracket 310 to slide along the guide part 150 and away from the support part 130. At this time, the bracket 310 moves toward the limiting part 140. Under the elastic force of the elastic telescopic member, the first step 331 can abut against the limiting part 140, and the limiting part 140 can restrict the bracket 310 to the guide part 150.

[0052] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 The limiting part 140 includes a screw, which is fixed to the guide part 150. A portion of the screw head is located outside the guide part 150. Thus, during installation, the bracket 310 is first fitted onto the outside of the guide part 150, then the screw is fixed to the guide part 150, and finally the massage body 320 is fixed to the bracket 310. At this time, the elastic telescopic member allows the bracket 310 to slide along the guide part 150. When the bracket 310 slides along the guide part 150, the first step 331 abuts against the head of the screw, thus limiting the bracket 310 to the guide part 150. However, this design is not limited to this. In some embodiments, the head of the screw can be located inside the guide part 150. In this case, the limiting part 140 also includes a washer, which is disposed between the head of the screw and the guide part 150, with the outer side of the washer located outside the guide part 150.

[0053] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3When the bracket 310 has a stepped hole 330, the elastic telescopic component is configured as a spring. The bracket 310 has an annular mounting groove 340, which is coaxially arranged with the stepped hole 330 and located outside the stepped hole 330. Part of the spring structure is located within the mounting groove 340 and abuts against it. It should be noted that at this time, one end of the spring abuts against the mounting groove 340, while the other end is still connected to the support part 130. Since part of the spring structure is located within the mounting groove 340, if the distance between the bracket 310 and the support part 130 is relatively close, the mounting height of the spring can be extended under the action of the mounting groove 340 to ensure the installation height of the spring, thereby ensuring the deformation capacity of the spring and thus ensuring the buffering effect of the buffer part 200. Further, in some embodiments, the spring can be a helical spring or a gas spring.

[0054] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The massage arm also includes a ring-shaped flexible portion 400. One end of the flexible portion 400 is fixed to the massage portion 300, and the other end is detachably connected to the support portion 130. The elastic telescopic member and the guide portion 150 are located inside the flexible portion 400. Thus, by placing the elastic telescopic member inside the flexible portion 400, the flexible portion 400 can provide a shielding and protection for the elastic telescopic member. In some embodiments, when the massage portion 300 is a single unit and the massage arm includes the guide portion 150, the flexible portion 400 can be fixed to the massage portion 300 by screw fastening.

[0055] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 When the massage unit 300 includes a massage body 320 and a support 310, the massage body 320 and the support 310 are configured to clamp a portion of the flexible part 400. After the massage body 320 and the support 310 clamp a portion of the flexible part 400, the massage body 320 and the support 310 are fixed together, and at this time, a portion of the flexible part 400 can be fixed to the massage unit 300.

[0056] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3When the massage arm includes the guide portion 150, the support portion 130 is provided with an annular groove 131 around its periphery, and the flexible portion 400 is provided with an annular protrusion 410 inside, which is inserted into the annular groove 131; the flexible portion 400 is also provided with a positioning boss 420 inside, which is located above the annular protrusion 410, and the support portion 130 is provided with a positioning groove 132, which is inserted into the positioning groove 132, wherein the guide portion 150 is provided through the positioning boss 420; the support portion 130 is connected to the elastic telescopic member through the positioning boss 420; thus, when the massage portion 300 slides along the guide portion 150 toward the support portion 130, the massage portion 300 can compress the flexible portion 400 while compressing the elastic telescopic member, and the flexible portion 400 can be stably connected to the support portion 130 under the action of the positioning boss 420 and the positioning groove 132. When the massage part 300 slides away from the support part 130 along the guide part 150, the flexible part 400 can be in the state of extension and recovery. Under the action of the annular protrusion 410 and the slot, the flexible part 400 can also be stably connected to the support part 130 in the state of extension and recovery.

[0057] In one embodiment, the flexible part 400 is made of silicone. The silicone material provides a certain cushioning effect, which can further improve the cushioning effect between the massage part 300 and the first end 110.

[0058] In one embodiment, reference Figure 5 The arm portion 100 is provided with a bent section 160 connecting the first end 110 and the second end 120. The bent section 160 is such that the extending directions of the first end 110 and the second end 120 are set at a preset angle. In one embodiment, the bent section 160 can be multiple bends, as long as it can enable the massage portion 300 to perform a massage function when the arm portion 100 swings back and forth.

[0059] This utility model also proposes a massager 500, see reference. Figure 1 The massager includes a massage arm, the specific structure of which is described in the above embodiments. Since the massager 500 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0060] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
