[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The image shows a massager 100 provided in an embodiment of this application, which includes a first massage unit 10 and a drive unit 30.

[0036] The first massage unit 10 has a first cavity 11 formed inside. During use, the massaged part 70 is inserted into the first cavity 11 along a first direction. At least one clamping portion 12 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the first cavity 11. The at least one clamping portion 12 is arranged circumferentially along the first cavity 11. Each clamping portion 12 includes a first contact portion 121 and a second contact portion 122 that cooperate with each other. The drive unit 30 is used to drive the first contact portion 121 and / or the second contact portion 122 to move relative to the inner peripheral wall of the first cavity 11, thereby massaging the massaged part 70 located within the first cavity 11.

[0037] Specifically, see Figure 3 The first direction can be the X direction shown in the figure, preferably the axial direction of the first cavity 11. The massaged part 70 includes, but is not limited to, human body parts such as hands and feet. The number of at least one clamping part 12 can be two, three, four or more. The first cavity 11 is generally cylindrical, and at least one clamping part 12 is spaced apart on the inner peripheral wall of the first cavity 11, which can act on different positions of the hands and feet simultaneously. The driving unit 30 can drive the first contact part 121 and / or the second contact part 122 of each clamping part 12 to move relative to the inner peripheral wall of the first cavity 11, thereby clamping the massaged part 70 between the first contact part 121 and the second contact part 122.

[0038] The massager 100 provided in one embodiment of this application can be used for massage and relaxation of limbs after exercise or labor, and can also be used for rehabilitation massage of limbs after surgery. In use, the area to be massaged 70, such as the hand or foot, can be inserted into the first cavity 11. At this time, the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 of each clamping part 12 respectively contact the area to be massaged 70. The driving unit 30 drives the first contact portion 121 and / or the second contact portion 122 of each clamping part 12 to move, thereby achieving multi-point massage of the area to be massaged 70, allowing the user to experience different levels of massage effects, improving user comfort and massage experience. Of course, the massager 100 of this application can be applied to other parts of the body as needed, which are not listed here.

[0039] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The number of clamping portions 12 is at least two. The two clamping portions 12 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the inner peripheral wall of the first cavity 11. This relative arrangement ensures that the force applied by the two clamping portions 12 during clamping is evenly distributed on the massaged area 70, avoiding force bias caused by asymmetrical arrangement, thus improving the working stability of the massager 100. When the number of clamping portions 12 is three, four, or more, the multiple clamping portions 12 can be evenly spaced in the circumferential direction. Of course, depending on different design requirements, the clamping portions 12 can also be offset at a specific position in the first massage unit 10, and are not limited to specific embodiments.

[0040] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5In each clamping portion 12, the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 both protrude towards the inner side of the first cavity 11 relative to the inner peripheral wall of the first cavity 11. Both the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 are lip-shaped, and the middle portions of the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 are spaced slightly apart in the circumferential direction and connected at both ends in the axial direction (i.e., the first direction), so that each clamping portion 12 is generally mouth-shaped. Specifically, please refer to... Figure 3 In each clamping portion 12, the connection between the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 is recessed and V-shaped relative to other positions, making it easier for the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 to swing relative to each other. That is, along the first direction, the two ends of the first contact portion 121 are inclined towards the two ends of the second contact portion 122, and the two ends of the second contact portion 122 are also inclined towards the two ends of the first contact portion 121, so that the connection between the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 forms a V-shape. The V-shaped connection is relatively smooth and can simulate the shape of the corner of the mouth. In other embodiments, the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 of each clamping portion 12 can also be configured to adapt to other shapes of the massaged part 70. For example, the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 can also be configured to conform to the shape of human body parts such as the arm and wrist, so as to specifically adapt to different types of massaged parts 70.

[0041] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The second contact portion 122 is fixedly disposed in the first massage unit 10. The drive unit 30 is used to drive the first contact portion 121 to swing relative to the second contact portion 122. That is, the drive unit 30 only drives the first contact portion 121 of each clamping portion 12 to swing relative to its second contact portion 122. Optionally, in another embodiment, the drive unit 30 is used to drive the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 to swing towards / away from each other. That is, the drive unit 30 can simultaneously drive the first contact portion 121 and the second contact portion 122 of each clamping portion 12 to swing simultaneously.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The swing axis 13 of the first contact portion 121 and / or the second contact portion 122 extends along the first direction. That is, the first contact portion 121 and / or the second contact portion 122 swings in a plane perpendicular to the first direction, so the swing of the first contact portion 121 and / or the second contact portion 122 can change the cross-sectional size of the first cavity 11, clamping or loosening the massaged area.

[0043] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 7Each clamping part 12 is equipped with a corresponding drive unit 30, meaning that each clamping part 12 can be driven independently. The drive unit 30 includes a motor 31 and a transmission assembly 32 connected between the motor 31 and the first contact part 121. Specifically, the transmission assembly 32 includes an eccentric wheel 33 connected to the motor 31 and a swing arm 34 cooperating with the eccentric wheel 33. The swing arm 34 is rotatably disposed in the massager 100 via a pivot 37 extending along a first direction. One end (connecting end 342) of the swing arm 34 cooperates with the eccentric wheel 33, and the other end (such as the swing end 341) is inserted into the first contact part 121.

[0044] Please see Figures 4 to 7 An eccentric wheel 33 is connected to a motor 31 and extends along a first direction with a shaft 35. The shaft 35 is eccentrically arranged relative to the rotation axis of the eccentric wheel 33, so that the motor 31 can drive the shaft 35 to revolve around the rotation axis of the eccentric wheel 33. The connecting end 342 of the swing arm 34 is provided with a groove 36, which has a certain length in a plane perpendicular to the first direction. The shaft 35 is movably inserted into the groove 36, and the two are in sliding engagement along the length direction of the groove 36 and fixed engagement in other directions. Through the engagement of the shaft 35 and the groove 36, the rotation of the motor 31 is converted into the swinging of the swing arm 34 in a plane perpendicular to the first direction, such as the YZ plane.

[0045] The pivot 37 is generally connected to the middle of the swing arm 34 and is located between the swing end 341 and the connecting end 342 of the swing arm 34. Optionally, the pivot 37 is fixedly disposed within the massager 100, and the swing arm 34 is rotatably sleeved on the pivot 37; or, the pivot 37 is rotatably disposed within the massager 100, and the swing arm 34 is fixedly sleeved on the pivot 37.

[0046] In one embodiment, at least one vibrating element 41 is provided in the first contact portion 121. In another embodiment, at least one vibrating element 41 is provided in the second contact portion 122. The vibrating element 41 may be a vibration motor 31 with a high-frequency vibration effect, and the provision of the vibration motor 31 enables the massage to have a high-frequency vibration effect. Specifically, please refer to... Figure 4 Each first contact portion 121 is provided with a vibrating element 41, and each vibrating element 41 is correspondingly provided on a swing arm 34 of a transmission assembly 32.

[0047] In other embodiments, each clamping part 12 may be driven by the same motor, which may be connected to each clamping part 12 via multiple different transmission units. Alternatively, some clamping parts 12 may be driven by one motor and some clamping parts 12 may be driven by another motor; this application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0048] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3, Figure 6 and Figure 7 The massager 100 also includes a second massage unit 20. A second cavity 21 is formed within the second massage unit 20. The second cavity 21 communicates with the first cavity 11 and together constitutes the massage cavity 40 of the massager 100, used to accommodate the massaged part 70. Specifically, the second massage unit 20 and the first massage unit 10 are arranged along a first direction, and an inlet 14 is formed at the end of the first massage unit 10 opposite to the second massage unit 20. The massaged part 70 is inserted into the massage cavity 40 through the inlet 14. Figure 8 As shown, the massaged area 70 is the upper limb of the human body. The user can insert the palm of the upper limb through the first cavity 11 into the second cavity 21, while the arm remains in the first cavity 11. The palm is massaged by the second massage unit 20 and the arm is massaged by the first massage unit 10, thereby achieving a comprehensive massage of the upper limb.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The second massage unit 20 is cylindrical, with its end facing away from the first massage unit 10 closed. This provides a better sense of envelopment during massage. In other embodiments, the end of the second massage unit 20 facing away from the first massage unit 10 can also be open, thus improving breathability.

[0050] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The inner peripheral wall of the second cavity 21 has protrusions 211. Multiple protrusions 211 can be arranged at intervals on the inner peripheral wall of the second cavity 21, making the inner peripheral wall of the second cavity 21 uneven. When the multiple protrusions 211 come into contact with the massaged area 70, they can produce different depths of tactile sensation to provide massage effects of varying intensity.

[0051] In one embodiment, the second massage unit 20 is provided with at least one vibrating element 41. The vibrating element 41 may be a vibration motor 31 with a high-frequency vibration effect, and the arrangement of the vibration motor 31 enables the massage to have a high-frequency vibration effect. Specifically, at least one vibrating element 41 is arranged at intervals relative to the second cavity 21. Preferably, please refer to... Figure 3 A vibrating element 41 is located near the second cavity 21 at a position away from the first cavity 11 along the first direction.
