Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical device technology, and in particular to an automatic tapping device. Background Technology
[0002] Tapping, as a fundamental physical action, has significant applications in daily life and health care. In healthcare, tapping with specific force and frequency can promote local blood circulation and relieve muscle fatigue; in home cleaning, regularly tapping textiles can effectively separate dust particles adhering to the gaps between fibers, improving cleaning efficiency.
[0003] Currently, patting-related operations are still mainly done manually, which has significant limitations. On the one hand, manual patting requires continuous repetitive movements, and prolonged operation can easily lead to muscle strain or joint damage. On the other hand, it is difficult to maintain a stable patting force and rhythm, and the stability gradually decreases as physical strength is depleted, which directly affects the effectiveness of the operation. For example, in massage scenarios, operators find it difficult to accurately control the patting intensity, which can easily lead to uneven application of force. In cleaning scenarios, due to the limited force and duration of manual patting, it is difficult to thoroughly remove impurities from deep within fabric fibers. Utility Model Content

[0037] Tapping, as a fundamental physical action, has significant applications in daily life and health care. In healthcare, tapping with specific force and frequency can promote local blood circulation and relieve muscle fatigue; in home cleaning, regularly tapping textiles can effectively separate dust particles adhering to the gaps between fibers, improving cleaning efficiency.
[0038] Currently, patting-related operations are still mainly done manually, which has significant limitations. On the one hand, manual patting requires continuous repetitive movements, and prolonged operation can easily lead to muscle strain or joint damage. On the other hand, it is difficult to maintain a stable patting force and rhythm, and the stability gradually decreases as physical strength is depleted, which directly affects the effectiveness of the operation. For example, in massage scenarios, operators find it difficult to accurately control the patting intensity, which can easily lead to uneven application of force. In cleaning scenarios, due to the limited force and duration of manual patting, it is difficult to thoroughly remove impurities from deep within fabric fibers.
[0039] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an automatic tapping device that replaces manual tapping with automated equipment, thus solving the technical issue that the force and rhythm of manual tapping are difficult to maintain stably over a long period.
[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic tapping device provided by this utility model includes:
[0041] 2 pieces of batting;
[0042] Crank-rocker mechanism 3, the rocker end of crank-rocker mechanism 3 is connected to the striking component 2;
[0043] The first drive assembly 4 is connected to the crank end of the crank-rocker mechanism 3; the first drive assembly 4 is used to drive the striking component 2 to swing back and forth around the first axis through the crank-rocker mechanism 3 to perform a striking operation on the target object.
[0044] The second drive component 5 is connected to the first drive component 4; the second drive component 5 is used to drive the first drive component 4 to move along the first path, so as to drive the beater 2 to move along the first path.
[0045] In this embodiment, the patting component 2 is a part that directly contacts the target object and performs the patting action. Its material and shape can be selected according to the specific application scenario. For example, in the massage scenario, the patting component 2 can be made of soft and elastic silicone material, such as a silicone rod, and its shape can be designed as an arc structure similar to the palm of the hand to better fit the curve of the human body, improve the patting comfort and massage effect. In the cleaning scenario, the patting component 2 can be made of hard plastic material, and its surface can be provided with protrusions or textures to improve the ability to clean impurities on the fabric during the patting process.
[0046] The crank-rocker mechanism 3 typically consists of a crank, connecting rod, and rocker arm, converting the continuous rotation of the crank in the same direction into the reciprocating oscillation of the rocker arm within a certain angle. In this device, the rocker arm end of the crank-rocker mechanism 3 is connected to the striking component 2, while the crank end of the crank-rocker mechanism 3 is connected to the first drive assembly 4. The first drive assembly 4 typically uses a motor and a reducer. The motor acts as a power source, and its high-speed rotational motion is reduced and amplified by the reducer before being transmitted to the crank. When the crank rotates, it drives the rocker arm to oscillate reciprocally via the connecting rod, which in turn drives the striking component 2 connected to the rocker arm end to oscillate reciprocally around the first axis (i.e., the rotation center axis of the rocker arm), thereby realizing the striking operation on the target object. The application of this crank-rocker mechanism 3 can convert the continuous rotational motion of the first drive component 4 into the reciprocating swing motion of the striking component 2 within a certain angle. Furthermore, by adjusting the length of the crank, connecting rod, and rocker arm, as well as the rotational speed of the first drive component 4, the swing amplitude and frequency of the striking component 2 can be precisely controlled to meet the requirements of striking force and rhythm in different scenarios.
[0047] The second drive component 5 can also be based on a motor. It can be mounted on a base 1 and connected to the first drive component 4. Its purpose is to drive the first drive component 4 and the entire tapping system it drives to move along the first path. The first path can be planned according to actual operational needs. For example, when cleaning large fabrics, the first path can be a straight path along the length or width of the fabric, allowing the tapping component 2 to fully cover the fabric surface and ensure thorough cleaning. In massage scenarios, the first path can be a curved path along the back or legs of the human body to conform to the physiological structure of the human body and enhance the massage effect. Driven by the second drive component 5, the tapping component 2 continuously performs tapping actions provided by the first drive component 4 and the crank-rocker mechanism 3 as it moves along the first path, achieving automation and high efficiency in the tapping operation. This effectively solves the problem of maintaining stable force and rhythm for extended periods in manual tapping operations, improving operational quality and efficiency.
[0048] Therefore, the automatic tapping device provided in this embodiment effectively solves the problem of maintaining stable force and rhythm for a long time in manual tapping operations by replacing manual tapping with automated equipment. Specifically, the crank-rocker mechanism 3 can convert the continuous rotational motion of the first drive component 4 into the reciprocating swing motion of the tapping component 2 within a certain angle, and the second drive component 5 can drive the entire tapping system to move along a preset path, thereby realizing automated tapping operations that fully cover the surface of the target object. Compared with manual tapping, it improves work efficiency and quality, and the tapping force and frequency can be precisely controlled by adjusting relevant parameters to meet the requirements of tapping force and rhythm in different scenarios, thereby improving the applicability of the automatic tapping device.
[0049] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic tapping device also includes a housing 6, the tapping component 2 is rotatably connected to the housing 6, the crank rocker mechanism 3 and the first drive assembly 4 are housed in the inner cavity of the housing 6; the second drive assembly 5 is connected to the housing 6 and is used to drive the housing 6 to move along the first path.
[0050] In this embodiment, the automatic tapping device incorporates a housing box 6, which plays a crucial role in integrating and optimizing the device's layout and operation. Specifically, the housing box 6 serves as the main frame of the entire tapping device, providing a rotatable connection base for the tapping component 2 and housing the crank-rocker mechanism 3 and the first drive assembly 4 within its internal cavity, thus achieving protection and centralized management of the components. This design makes the entire device more compact and rational in structure, facilitating handling and installation. It also effectively protects the internal precision mechanical transmission components, preventing damage caused by external collisions, dust, and other adverse factors during use, thereby extending the device's service life.
[0051] Specifically, the striking component 2 is rotatably mounted on the housing 6 via a suitable rotary connection structure (such as bearings, shafts, etc.), ensuring its flexible swing around the first axis. The crank-rocker mechanism 3 and the first drive assembly 4 are cleverly placed within the inner cavity of the housing 6, allowing the entire transmission system to operate in a relatively enclosed environment, reducing external interference and improving transmission stability and reliability. Furthermore, the second drive assembly 5 is connected to the housing 6, indirectly driving the overall displacement of all internal components and the connected striking component 2 by driving the housing 6 to move along the first path. This integrated movement method not only ensures the motion accuracy and stability of the striking component 2 during movement but also makes the motion control of the entire device simpler and more efficient. Only corresponding command control of the second drive assembly 5 is needed to achieve precise movement of the entire striking device along a preset path, further enhancing the intelligence level and operational effectiveness of the automatic striking operation.
[0052] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic tapping device also includes a partition 7, which is disposed in the inner cavity of the housing 6. The partition 7 divides the inner cavity of the housing 6 into a first chamber 601 and a second chamber 602. The crank rocker mechanism 3 is disposed in the first chamber 601, and the first drive assembly 4 is disposed in the second chamber 602.
[0053] This embodiment cleverly divides the inner cavity of the housing 6 into a first chamber 601 and a second chamber 602 by setting a partition 7 in the inner cavity, further optimizing the internal spatial layout and functional zoning of the device. The crank-rocker mechanism 3 is housed in the first chamber 601, while the first drive assembly 4 is located in the second chamber 602. This partition design has several advantages.
[0054] On the one hand, the crank-rocker mechanism 3 and the first drive assembly 4 generate different degrees of vibration and heat during operation. Separating them into different chambers can effectively reduce mutual interference and mitigate the adverse effects of vibration and heat transfer on their performance and lifespan. For example, the motor in the first drive assembly 4 generates heat during operation. If it were located in the same chamber as the crank-rocker mechanism 3, it might cause components such as lubricating grease in the crank-rocker mechanism 3 to age and deteriorate faster due to increased temperature, affecting its transmission accuracy and flexibility. Separating them creates a relatively independent and suitable working environment for each component, ensuring stable and efficient operation.
[0055] On the other hand, this separation method facilitates the individual maintenance, inspection, and replacement of components within different chambers. When the crank-rocker mechanism 3 or the first drive assembly 4 malfunctions or requires maintenance, staff can quickly locate the corresponding chamber without large-scale disassembly of the entire device, improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance time and costs. Simultaneously, the separated chambers also allow for more organized and orderly wiring and piping, preventing cable tangling and interference, further enhancing the cleanliness and reliability of the device's internal structure.
[0056] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The container 6 has an opening that communicates with the inner cavity; the automatic tapping device also includes a cover 8 that closes onto the opening.
[0057] In this embodiment, the opening provides an easy passage for the operator, allowing them to easily install internal components such as the crank rocker mechanism 3 and the first drive assembly 4 into the housing 6, or to inspect, repair, clean, or replace these components when needed. For example, when the motor in the first drive assembly 4 needs maintenance or replacement, simply opening the cover 8 allows direct access to the motor without the need for complex disassembly of the entire device, greatly improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance work.
[0058] Meanwhile, the lid 8 not only prevents internal components from accidentally falling or shifting during use, but also effectively blocks external dust, debris, and moisture from entering the inner cavity of the container 6, providing excellent protection and ensuring that the internal components are always in a clean and dry working environment, thereby extending the service life of the device and maintaining stable performance. Furthermore, the design of the lid 8 can be optimized according to actual needs. For example, ventilation openings and heat sinks can be added to the lid 8 to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the internal components, or a portion of the lid 8 can be made of transparent material to allow for direct observation of the internal components' operating status, further enhancing the functionality and practicality of the automatic tapping device.
[0059] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The crank-rocker mechanism 3 includes a crank structure 301, a connecting rod structure 302, and a rocker structure 303. The first end of the crank structure 301 is connected to the first drive assembly 4. The second end of the crank structure 301 is rotatably connected to the first end of the connecting rod structure 302. The second end of the connecting rod structure 302 is rotatably connected to the first end of the rocker structure 303. The second end of the rocker structure 303 is rotatably connected to the housing 6 around the first axis. The striking element 2 is connected to the rocker structure 303. The first drive assembly 4 is used to drive the crank structure 301 to rotate, so as to drive the rocker structure 303 to swing back and forth around the first axis.
[0060] This embodiment details the specific structure and working principle of the crank-rocker mechanism 3. The crank-rocker mechanism 3 consists of three parts: a crank structure 301, a connecting rod structure 302, and a rocker structure 303. These three parts cooperate with each other through a rotatable connection to realize the conversion and transmission of motion.
[0061] Specifically, the first end of the crank structure 301 is connected to the first drive assembly 4 (usually the output shaft of a motor). When the first drive assembly 4 starts, it drives the crank structure 301 to rotate around the rotation center of its first end. The second end of the crank structure 301 is connected to the first end of the connecting rod structure 302 through a rotatable connection (such as a hinge connection). The second end of the connecting rod structure 302 is rotatably connected to the first end of the rocker structure 303. Thus, the rocker structure 303 can be driven to reciprocate around the rotation center (i.e., the first axis) of its second end through the transmission action of the connecting rod structure 302. The second end of the rocker structure 303 is rotatably connected to the housing 6, serving as the fulcrum for its swing, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the swing. Finally, the striking element 2 connected to the rocker structure 303 performs a striking operation on the target object as the rocker structure 303 swings back and forth.
[0062] The application of this crank-rocker mechanism 3 makes the patting motion of the patting component 2 regular and controllable. By adjusting parameters such as the length of the crank structure 301, the length of the connecting rod structure 302, the length of the rocker structure 303, and the rotational speed of the first drive component 4, the swing amplitude and frequency of the patting component 2 can be precisely controlled to adapt to the requirements of patting force and rhythm in different scenarios. For example, in a massage scenario, by appropriately adjusting the above parameters, the patting component 2 can produce a gentle and rhythmic patting motion, similar to the techniques of a professional massage therapist, which can effectively relieve muscle fatigue; in a cleaning scenario, the swing amplitude and frequency of the patting component 2 can be adjusted according to the material of the fabric and the degree of staining to achieve the best cleaning effect while avoiding damage to the fabric.
[0063] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The automatic tapping device also includes a converter shaft 9, which is rotatably connected to the housing 6 around a first axis. The first end of the converter shaft 9 is connected to the rocker end of the crank rocker mechanism 3, and the second end of the converter shaft 9 extends to the outside of the housing 6. The tapping element 2 is connected to the second end of the converter shaft 9.
[0064] In this embodiment, the automatic tapping device incorporates a key component, the adapter shaft 9, which further optimizes the connection and motion transmission between the tapping element 2 and the crank-rocker mechanism 3. Specifically, the adapter shaft 9 is rotatably mounted on the housing 6 around a first axis. Its first end is connected to the rocker end of the crank-rocker mechanism 3, while its second end extends outside the housing 6. This allows the swinging motion of the rocker structure 303 to be transmitted to the outside of the housing 6 via the adapter shaft 9. This design has several important implications.
[0065] First, the adapter shaft 9 acts as a bridge for motion transmission, which can stably and accurately transmit the swing motion of the crank rocker mechanism 3 in the inner cavity of the housing 6 to the striking component 2 located outside the housing 6, ensuring that the striking component 2 can perform the striking operation according to the predetermined swing pattern. At the same time, the adapter shaft 9 allows the striking component 2 to be installed relatively independently outside the housing 6, which is convenient for replacement, maintenance or adjustment according to different application scenarios and needs, thus improving the flexibility and versatility of the device.
[0066] Furthermore, the structural design of the adapter shaft 9 can be optimized according to actual needs. For example, a sealing structure can be set on the adapter shaft 9 to prevent external impurities from entering the interior of the housing 6 from the connection between the adapter shaft 9 and the housing 6, thereby further enhancing the sealing and reliability of the automatic tapping device; or high-precision bearings and other components can be used at the connection between the adapter shaft 9 and the housing 6 to reduce rotational resistance and improve the smoothness and accuracy of the movement, thereby improving the tapping effect of the tapping component 2 and the overall performance of the device.
[0067] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic tapping device also includes a clamping sleeve 10 and a threaded fastener (not shown in the figure). The clamping sleeve 10 is connected to the second end of the adapter shaft 9. The tapping element 2 is inserted and fitted in the cavity of the clamping sleeve 10. The threaded fastener is threadedly connected to the clamping sleeve 10. The threaded fastener is used to press and fix the tapping element 2 onto the clamping sleeve 10.
[0068] This embodiment provides a simple, reliable, and adjustable solution for the installation and fixation of the striking element 2 by adding a clamping sleeve 10 and a threaded locking fastener. Specifically, the clamping sleeve 10 is connected to the second end of the adapter shaft 9, forming a cavity structure for accommodating the striking element 2; one end of the striking element 2 can be inserted into the cavity from one end of the clamping sleeve 10, and the end of the striking element 2 inserted into the cavity can extend out of the cavity or be placed inside the cavity according to actual application requirements; the threaded locking fastener is threadedly connected to the clamping sleeve 10. When the threaded locking fastener is tightened, the end of the threaded locking fastener will generate a resisting force on the part of the striking element 2 inserted into the cavity, so as to push the part of the striking element 2 inserted into the cavity to fit tightly against the cavity wall, thereby fixing the striking element 2 on the clamping sleeve 10.
[0069] The above installation method has many advantages. On the one hand, it improves the convenience of installing and removing the striking component 2, eliminating the need for complex tools or cumbersome operations. For example, when it is necessary to replace a different type of striking component 2, simply loosen the threaded fastener, remove the old striking component 2, insert the new striking component 2 into the cavity of the clamping sleeve 10, and then tighten the threaded fastener to complete the replacement, greatly saving time and labor costs. On the other hand, by adjusting the tightness of the threaded fastener, the clamping force on the striking component 2 can be changed within a certain range, thereby adapting to the installation requirements of striking components 2 of different materials and sizes, ensuring that the striking component 2 will not loosen or fall off due to vibration or swaying during operation, thus improving the stability and safety of the automatic striking device.
[0070] Furthermore, the structural design of the clamping sleeve 10 and the threaded fastener can be further optimized. For example, anti-slip textures or elastic washers can be provided on the inner wall of the clamping sleeve 10 to increase the friction between the clamping sleeve 10 and the striking part 2, thereby further improving the clamping firmness. Alternatively, an anti-slip structure or operating handle can be designed on the head of the threaded fastener to make it easier for operators to tighten or loosen the threaded fastener and improve the user experience.
[0071] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second drive assembly 5 includes a second motor (not shown in the figure) and a lead screw drive mechanism 501. The output end of the second motor is connected to the lead screw drive mechanism 501, and the housing 6 is connected to the lead screw drive mechanism 501. The second motor is used to drive the housing 6 to move along the first path through the lead screw drive mechanism 501.
[0072] In this embodiment, the second drive assembly 5 employs a combination of a second motor and a lead screw transmission mechanism 501 to achieve precise driving of the housing 6 and the entire striking device it drives along the first path. The second motor, as a power source, has its output end (usually the motor shaft) connected to the lead screw transmission mechanism 501 via a coupling, converting the motor's rotational motion into the lead screw's rotational motion. The lead screw transmission mechanism 501 typically consists of a lead screw, a nut, and other components. The housing 6 is connected to the nut via a suitable connecting structure (such as a connecting plate or bracket), or directly fixed to the nut. When the second motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the nut moves linearly along the axial direction on the lead screw, thereby driving the connected housing 6 to move smoothly and precisely along the first path (i.e., the axial direction of the lead screw).
[0073] The application of the aforementioned lead screw drive mechanism 501 provides high transmission accuracy and positioning precision. By precisely controlling the rotation angle and speed of the second motor, micron-level or even higher positional control precision of the container 6 on the first path can be achieved, ensuring that the striking component 2 can accurately cover every area of the target object that needs to be struck, avoiding omissions or repeated striking, and improving work efficiency and quality. Secondly, the lead screw drive has a large load-bearing capacity and rigidity, which can stably support the weight of the container 6 and all its internal components, and maintain good stability during movement without shaking or trembling, ensuring the stability of the striking component 2's movement, thereby improving the striking effect. In addition, the lead screw drive mechanism 501 operates relatively smoothly and with low noise, making it suitable for use in scenarios where there are certain requirements for the noise level of the working environment.
[0074] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic tapping device also includes a guide rail 11, which extends along the first path; a slider structure 12 is provided on the housing 6, which slides along the first path and engages with the guide rail 11.
[0075] This embodiment adds a guide rail 11 and a corresponding slider structure 12 is provided on the housing 6, further optimizing the movement stability of the housing 6. Specifically, the guide rail 11 extends along the direction of the first path, and its length and shape are designed according to the actual working range and spatial layout; the slider structure 12 on the housing 6 is usually made of materials with certain hardness and wear resistance, such as engineering plastics and metals, and its shape and size match the cross-sectional shape of the guide rail 11, so that it can be tightly nested on the guide rail 11 and slide smoothly along the guide rail 11 under the drive of the second drive component 5.
[0076] The coordinated use of the guide rail 11 and the slider structure 12 provides precise guidance and support for the movement of the container 6. When the second drive assembly 5 (such as the second motor and the lead screw transmission mechanism 501) drives the container 6 to move, the slider structure 12 slides smoothly along the first path on the guide rail 11, effectively preventing the container 6 from deviating or swaying during movement. This ensures that the movement trajectory of the container 6 always remains highly consistent with the preset first path, thereby improving the accuracy and uniformity of the striking component 2 striking the target object.
[0077] Furthermore, the guide rail 11 and the slider structure 12 also serve to distribute the load, enabling the weight of the housing 6 and its internal components to be evenly distributed on the rail, reducing the burden on the second drive assembly 5 and extending its service life. Simultaneously, this guiding method facilitates the quick installation and removal of the housing 6. Installation is completed simply by aligning the slider structure 12 with the guide rail 11 and pushing it in; disassembly is similarly simple by pulling the slider structure 12 out of the guide rail 11. This convenient and quick operation is more conducive to the maintenance and upkeep of the device.
[0078] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic tapping device also includes a tube structure 13 and a cover 14. The second motor is housed in the inner cavity of the tube structure 13, and the cover 14 covers the openings at both ends of the tube structure 13.
[0079] This embodiment effectively protects and integrates the second motor by setting up the tube structure 13 and the cover 14. Specifically, the tube structure 13 is usually made of a material with certain strength and rigidity, such as a metal tube or a high-strength plastic tube. The metal tube can be a square tube, and its inner cavity size should be slightly larger than the outer dimensions of the second motor to tightly accommodate the second motor and provide a relatively enclosed protective space for it. The cover 14 is installed at the openings at both ends of the tube structure 13, completely sealing the inner cavity of the tube structure 13 to prevent external dust, moisture, debris, etc. from entering the tube body and avoiding adverse effects on the operation of the second motor, such as short circuits and corrosion, thereby extending the service life of the second motor and maintaining stable performance.
[0080] In practical applications, the shape of the tube structure 13 can be designed according to actual needs to coordinate with the overall appearance of the automatic tapping device, thereby enhancing the overall aesthetics of the automatic tapping device. Ventilation holes, heat sinks, and other structures can also be provided on the tube structure 13 and the cover 14 to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the second motor during operation and prevent damage to the motor due to overheating.
[0081] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The first drive assembly 4 includes a first motor 401 and a first reduction mechanism 402. The output end of the first motor 401 is connected to the input end of the first reduction mechanism 402, and the output end of the first reduction mechanism 402 is connected to the crank end of the crank-rocker mechanism 3.
[0082] In this embodiment, the first drive assembly 4 consists of a first motor 401 and a first reduction mechanism 402, which work together to effectively drive the crank-rocker mechanism 3. Specifically, the first motor 401 serves as a power source, and its output end can be connected to the input end of the first reduction mechanism 402 through a coupling, belt, or other transmission components to transmit the high-speed rotational motion of the motor to the first reduction mechanism 402. The first reduction mechanism 402 is typically a gear reducer or a worm gear reducer, and its main function is to reduce the speed and increase the torque of the input high-speed rotational motion, and then transmit the processed low-speed, high-torque rotational motion to the crank end of the crank-rocker mechanism 3.
[0083] Based on the above configuration, on the one hand, the high-speed rotation of the first motor 401 provides sufficient power output, but its high speed may cause the swaying speed of the striking component 2 to be too fast, failing to meet the requirements for precise control of the swaying rhythm and force in certain scenarios. However, through the speed reduction and torque amplification effect of the first reduction mechanism 402, the output speed of the motor can be reduced to a suitable range, while increasing the output torque, enabling the crank-rocker mechanism 3 to obtain more stable and powerful rotational force. This allows the striking component 2 to oscillate back and forth at a suitable speed and force, achieving the ideal swaying effect. On the other hand, the combination of the first motor 401 and the first reduction mechanism 402 also has advantages such as compact structure, high transmission efficiency, and smooth operation. The first reduction mechanism 402 can effectively buffer the impact load during motor start-up and stop, protecting subsequent transmission components such as the crank-rocker mechanism 3 from damage and extending the service life of the entire device. Simultaneously, this transmission method has relatively low noise, making it suitable for use in environments with certain noise requirements.
[0084] In one embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The automatic tapping device also includes a wireless communication module (not shown in the figure) and a remote control device (not shown in the figure). The wireless communication module is wirelessly connected to the remote control device and electrically connected to the first drive component 4 and the second drive component 5. The remote control device is used to send external command signals to the wireless communication module to trigger the wireless communication module to output corresponding drive signals to the first drive component 4 and / or the second drive component 5.
[0085] This embodiment, by introducing a wireless communication module and a remote control device, endows the automatic tapping device with the ability for remote control and intelligent operation. Specifically, the wireless communication module typically employs wireless communication technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee, establishing a wireless connection with the remote control device. The remote control device can be a smartphone, tablet, dedicated remote control, or other similar device. Users send external command signals containing control instructions to the wireless communication module by operating the corresponding control application or buttons on the remote control device. After receiving these external command signals, the wireless communication module decodes and processes them, outputting corresponding drive signals to the first drive component 4 and / or the second drive component 5. It can drive the first drive component 4 alone to cause the tapping element 2 to tap a fixed area, or it can drive the second drive component 5 alone to move the tapping element 2 along a first path to the target area, or it can drive both the first drive component 4 and the second drive component 5 simultaneously to cause the tapping element 2 to continuously tap while moving along the first path. Based on the above settings, remote control of the automatic tapping device can be achieved.
[0086] Based on the aforementioned remote control method, users can operate the automatic tapping device within a certain distance without directly touching it. This is especially suitable for some special scenarios, such as when cleaning high places or hard-to-reach areas, users can control the device to tap and clean from the ground using a remote control. Or in a massage scenario, users can conveniently adjust the tapping intensity, frequency, and movement path while lying down, without having to get up to operate it, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of use.
[0087] Secondly, the wireless communication module and remote control device enable precise control of the automatic tapping device. The remote control device can be set with various preset modes, such as different combinations of tapping force, frequency, and movement path. Users can select the appropriate mode according to their actual needs, or fine-tune various parameters through custom settings to meet personalized usage requirements.
[0088] In some preferred embodiments, the wireless communication module can be integrated on the MCU (Microcontroller Unit) microcontroller unit. A storage module can be provided on the MCU microcontroller unit, and the storage module can pre-store a mapping relationship table between the拍打力度 (slapping force) and the driving parameters of the second driving component 5. A corresponding force sensing device can be provided on the first driving component 4, and the force sensing device is electrically connected to the MCU microcontroller unit. The force sensing device can obtain the reaction force generated by the target object being slapped on the slapping member 2 in real time during the slapping process and send it to the MCU microcontroller unit. The MCU microcontroller unit can find the driving parameters of the second driving component 5 corresponding to the reaction force (i.e., the slapping force) from the above mapping relationship table based on the look-up table method, and send the driving parameters to the second driving component 5, so that the second driving component 5 can drive the slapping member 2 to move along the first path according to the driving parameters, making the translational movement of the slapping member 2 more adaptable to the current slapping condition. For example, in the above mapping relationship table, a larger slapping force can be correspondingly set with a slower moving speed. When the reaction force obtained by the force sensing device in real time during the slapping process is larger, it can be determined that the slapping member 2 is slapping a relatively rigid or hard area of the target object. At this time, the second driving component 5 can be correspondingly controlled to drive the slapping member 2 to move along the first path at a slower speed, so as to more specifically extend the slapping time of the slapping member 2 on the relatively rigid or hard area of the target object and obtain a better slapping effect.
[0089] Furthermore, the application of the wireless communication module and the remote control device also provides the possibility for the interconnection and interoperability of the automatic slapping device with other intelligent devices. For example, the automatic slapping device can be connected to the smart home system to achieve the linkage control with other home devices, such as closing the windows and starting the air purifier simultaneously when using the automatic slapping device to clean the quilt and pillow, so as to create a more intelligent home environment.

[0091] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made under the technical concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
