For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 3 The massager 10 of this utility model includes a housing 100 and a drive mechanism 200 disposed inside the housing 100. The housing 100 includes a massage part 111, and a ball part 120 is provided on the massage part 111. The ball part 120 includes a plurality of balls 122 arranged in a ring. The drive mechanism 200 is used to drive all the balls 122 of the ball part 120 to rotate in the circumferential direction along the ring. Each ball 122 is configured to be able to rotate on the massage part.

[0035] When in use, the massager 10 of this utility model drives a plurality of rollers 122 to rotate circumferentially along the ring through the drive mechanism 200, so that the rollers 122 press and stimulate the massaged area. At the same time, the friction generated by the rollers 122 scraping against the massaged area causes the rollers to rotate passively, so as to achieve scraping stimulation of the massaged area. Multiple stimulations enhance the stimulation effect and improve the user's massage experience.

[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the housing 100 includes a main body 110, which is generally elongated and rod-shaped. A first massage part 112 is formed at the front end of the main body 110, and a handheld part 116 is formed at the rear end. In use, the user holds the handheld part 116 to deliver the first massage part 112 to the area requiring massage, such as the face or arm. In this embodiment, the first massage part 112 is equipped with a vibration motor 113, which can be single or multiple, stimulating the massaged area through high-frequency vibration.

[0037] In this application, the housing 100 also includes a second massage portion 118, which extends obliquely from the middle of the main body 110 toward the side where the first massage portion 112 is located, such that the second massage portion 118 and the main body 110 form an angle, preferably between 45° and 85°. The second massage portion 118 and the first massage portion 112 are offset by a certain distance both laterally and longitudinally, so that they can act on two different parts of the human body simultaneously, such as the face and neck respectively.

[0038] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the ball bearing portion 120 is installed within the second massage portion 118, including a ball bearing seat 124 and a plurality of balls 122 disposed around the ball bearing seat 124. The balls 122 can rotate relative to the second massage portion 118 together with the ball bearing seat 124, and the balls 122 can also rotate on their own axis on the ball bearing seat 124. The second massage portion 118 has a slot 119. At least one of the balls 122 of the ball bearing portion 120 partially extends out of the slot 119 and protrudes beyond the surface of the second massage portion 118, enabling direct contact with the corresponding human body part.

[0039] Preferably, the surface of the ball bearing 122 is smooth and its shape is regular, and it can be a sphere, ellipsoid, cylinder, etc. When the ball bearing 122 rotates with the ball bearing seat 124 to massage the human body, the friction between the surface of the ball bearing 122 and the human skin causes the ball bearing 122 to automatically rotate, enhancing the massage effect on the human body. In some embodiments, the rotation of the ball bearing 122 can also be achieved manually or mechanically. Of course, the ball bearing 122 can also be any other irregular shape, and this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0040] The rotation of the ball bearing seat 124 allows each ball bearing 122 to act sequentially on the human body, providing periodic pressure stimulation to the massaged area. Simultaneously, the ball bearing 122 scrapes against the massaged area during its revolution, generating mutual friction. This friction causes the ball bearing 122 to passively rotate, ensuring sufficient friction between the ball bearing 122 and the massaged area. This combination of pressure and friction enhances the stimulation effect and improves the user's massage experience.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 4-6As shown, the ball bearing seat 124 includes a cylindrical body 123 and a first flange 124a and a second flange 124b extending outward from the outer periphery of the body 123. The first flange 124a and the second flange 124b are spaced apart axially from the body 123, forming an annular groove 124c between them for mounting the ball bearing 122. Preferably, the first flange 124a and the second flange 124b extend outward integrally from the body 123.

[0042] A through hole 127 is formed in the center of the main body 123, and a first shaft 125 is inserted through the through hole 127. The ball seat 124 is embedded in the slot 119 of the second massage part 118. The two ends of the first shaft 125 are connected to the support seats on the slot walls on both sides of the slot 119, and the ball seat 124 is pivotally connected to the ball part 120.

[0043] The ball bearings 122 are evenly spaced around the body 123, and a second shaft 126 passes through the center of each ball bearing 122. The ball bearing 122 is rotatably connected to the second shaft 126. The two ends of the second shaft 126 are respectively connected to the outer edges of the first flange 124a and the second flange 124b, so that each ball bearing 122 at least partially extends out of the annular groove 124c. After being assembled into the second massage part 118 of the housing 100, most of the ball bearings 122 can protrude beyond the surface of the second massage part 118 and contact the human body part that is in contact with the second massage part 118.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second shaft 126 is parallel to the first shaft 125, so that while the ball bearing seat 124 drives the ball bearing 122 to rotate, the ball bearing 122 can rotate on its own axis through friction with the human body. Thus, the revolution and rotation of the ball bearing 122 simultaneously provide more effective massage stimulation to the massaged area.

[0045] In some embodiments, the axis of the rod-shaped main body 110 is set at an angle to the axis of rotation of the ball 122, that is, the axis of the rod-shaped main body 110 is set at an angle to the second shaft 126. The specific angle is not limited in this application and can be any angle.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first shaft 125 is fixedly connected to the ball bearing portion 120 via a support seat, and the ball bearing seat 124 is rotatably connected to the first shaft 125 via a through hole 127. Thus, the ball bearing seat 124 is rotatably connected to the ball bearing portion 120 with the first shaft 125 as the rotation center.

[0047] In other embodiments, the first shaft 125 may be rotatably connected to the ball bearing portion 120, and the ball bearing seat 124 may be fixedly connected to the first shaft 125. Similarly, the ball bearing seat 124 may be rotatably connected to the ball bearing portion 120 with the first shaft 125 as the rotation center.

[0048] The distance between the first flange 124a and the second flange 124b is the diameter of the ball bearing 122, so that the ball bearing 122 can be just limited between the first flange 124a and the second flange 124b. The first flange 124a and the second flange 124b simultaneously limit the ball bearing 122, so that the ball bearing 122 rotates more stably during massage, and the massage effect on the massaged area is better.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, according to one embodiment of this application, the housing 100 includes a rigid inner shell 130 and a flexible soft shell 140 sleeved outside the rigid inner shell 130. The rigid inner shell 130 can be made of rigid plastic or the like, and has a certain supporting function. The drive mechanism 200 is disposed inside the rigid inner shell 130. The flexible soft shell 140 can be a flexible, skin-friendly material, especially silicone. The flexible soft shell 140 is the direct surface layer of the massage contact, providing a soft touch and cushioning effect when applied to the human body, thereby improving the comfort of the massage and enhancing the user experience.

[0050] The balls 122 of the ball bearing section 120 can be made of a rigid material, preferably with their outer surface covered by a flexible material. This ensures that the rigid balls 122 can produce the desired stimulation effect when rotating, while providing a soft touch and appropriate cushioning to the massaged area.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, the drive mechanism 200 includes a drive motor 210 and a transmission mechanism 220. The transmission mechanism 220 is connected between the drive motor 210 and the ball bearing seat 124 of the ball bearing section 120, and is used to transmit the torque generated by the drive motor 210 to the ball bearing seat 124 of the ball bearing section 120 to drive the ball bearing seat 124 to rotate.

[0052] The drive motor 210 and the transmission mechanism 220 may also include a steering mechanism 212. In this embodiment, the steering mechanism 212 includes a first bevel gear 230 and a second bevel gear 240 that mesh with each other. The output shaft 211 of the drive motor 210 is connected to the first bevel gear 230, and the second bevel gear 240 is connected to the transmission mechanism 220.

[0053] The drive motor 210 is installed inside the main body 110. The output shaft 211 of the drive motor 210 is arranged along the axial direction (i.e., the length direction) of the main body 110. It achieves a 90-degree rotation through the meshing transmission of the first bevel gear 230 and the second bevel gear 240, so that the rotation axis of the second bevel gear 240 is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the output shaft 211 of the drive motor 210.

[0054] The transmission mechanism 220 includes a driving pulley 222, a driven pulley 226, and a belt 224 fitted onto the driving pulley 222 and the driven pulley 226. The driving pulley 222 is connected to the second bevel gear 240, and the driven pulley 226 is connected to the ball bearing seat 124. Through the belt 224, long-distance power transmission can be achieved between the drive motor 210 and the ball bearing seat 124, facilitating the arrangement of the motor.

[0055] In this embodiment, the driving wheel 222 and the second bevel gear 240 are coaxially arranged, and preferably they are an integral structure; the driven wheel 222 and the ball bearing seat 124 are coaxially arranged, and preferably they are an integral structure. Preferably, the portion of the main body 123 of the ball bearing seat 124 that extends outward relative to the second flange 124b serves as the driven wheel 226, thereby simplifying the structure and assembly process. Of course, the driving wheel 222 and the driven wheel 226 can also be formed separately and then assembled with the corresponding components.

[0056] Specifically, the drive wheel 222 is pivotally connected to the main body 110 via a rotating shaft 223. By fixing the rotating shaft 223 to one of the drive wheel 222 and the main body 110, and rotating it to the other, the drive wheel 222 can be rotatably connected to the main body 110.

[0057] Specifically, the driven wheel 226 is pivotally connected to the ball bearing portion 120 via the first shaft 125. By fixing the first shaft 125 to one of the driven wheel 226 and the ball bearing portion 120, and rotating it to the other, the driven wheel 226 can be rotatably connected to the ball bearing portion 120.

[0058] The specific implementation of the rotatable connection between the driving wheel 222 and the driven wheel 226 and the housing 100 is not limited to the above methods, as long as the rotatable connection can be achieved.

[0059] In a specific embodiment, the driving wheel 222 and the driven wheel 226 each have annular grooves adapted to the size of the belt. The belt 224 is sleeved on the driving wheel 222 and the driven wheel 226 and embedded in the annular grooves. The driving wheel 222 and the driven wheel 226 are supported at both ends of the annular belt 224. When the driving wheel 222 rotates under the drive of the drive motor 210, it drives the driven wheel 226 and the ball bearing seat 124 to rotate through the belt 224, so that the balls 122 sequentially rub the massaged area.

[0060] The transmission mechanism 220 can be implemented in any form, not limited to the above embodiments, as long as it can convert the rotation of the drive motor 210 into the rotation of the ball bearing seat 124 around the first shaft 125.

[0061] The massage device may also include a battery 310, a circuit board 320, and a button 330. The battery 310 supplies power to the drive motor 210 and the vibration motor 113. The circuit board 320 controls the operation of the drive motor 210 and the vibration motor 113, such as controlling the speed of the drive motor 210 and the vibration frequency of the vibration motor 113. The button 330 is connected to the circuit board 320, allowing the user to input commands through the button 330 to control the operation of the drive motor 210 and the vibration motor 113, thereby controlling the vibration of the first massage part 112 and the rotation of the ball bearing part of the second massage part 118. Preferably, the battery 310, circuit board 320, etc., are disposed in the handheld part 116, and the button 330 is disposed on the housing 100 corresponding to the handheld part 116.

[0062] like Figure 8-9 As shown, another embodiment of the drive mechanism 210 is provided. In this embodiment, the body 123 of the ball bearing seat 124 forms an inner cavity 123a, and the output shaft 211 of the drive motor 210 of the drive mechanism 200 extends into the inner cavity 123a and is fixedly connected to the body 123 of the ball bearing seat 124. Specifically, a mounting seat 128 is formed on one side of the slot 119 of the second massage part 118 for supporting the drive motor 210. The body 123 has an opening on one side corresponding to the mounting seat 128, so that the mounting seat 128 and the drive motor 210 housed in the mounting seat 128 can be inserted into the inner cavity 123a. The other side of the slot 119 of the second massage part 118 forms a support seat 129. One end of the first shaft 125 is inserted into the support seat 129 and the other end is inserted into the body 123. In this way, the drive motor 210 can directly drive the ball bearing seat 124 to rotate, thereby eliminating the need for a transmission mechanism and further simplifying the structure.

[0063] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Any modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the spirit of this application should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of this application.
