[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an oral massage pacifier, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This oral massage pacifier uses a combination of a massage part and a gripping part. When training a child's oral muscles, the pacifier is given to the child, who then places it in their mouth. The child grasps it with one hand using the grip ring, simulating sucking on a pacifier. Button one adjusts the vibration intensity of either the first or second vibrating massage ball; button two controls the vibration of a specific first vibrating massage ball; and button three controls the vibration of the second vibrating massage ball. This allows for training of muscles in a specific area of ​​the mouth. When the first vibrating massage ball is not vibrating, it is attracted to a locking groove by magnet two. When the corresponding button (button one or button two) is pressed, a micro-motor drives an eccentric block to rotate, generating vibration. The force of the vibration causes magnet one and magnet two to separate, allowing the first vibrating massage ball to vibrate freely. Simultaneously, the first vibrating massage ball slides outward from the sliding hole via a sliding column, training the muscles on both sides of the mouth and the muscles at the base of the tongue. The first vibrating massage ball located in the top slot trains the base of the tongue, while the first vibrating massage balls in the side slots train the muscles on both sides of the cheeks. Placing the side with the second vibrating massage ball on the tongue and pressing button three activates the vibration of the second ball, providing a vibrating massage to the entire tongue. Since the distance between the tongue and the upper palate is short, there's no need to extend the tongue for vibration; simply placing the ball on the tongue and closing the mouth completes the process. This achieves both automatic training of the child's oral muscles and targeted training of specific muscles within the mouth. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-5. An oral massage pacifier includes a massage part 1 and a grip part 2. The massage part 1 is disposed on the grip part 2, and a first vibrating massage ball 11 and a second vibrating massage ball 14 are disposed on the massage part 1. The first vibrating massage ball 11 is used to provide vibration massage training for the muscles inside the mouth and the root of the tongue, while the second vibrating massage ball 14 provides vibration massage training for the tongue. The massage part 1 directly acts on the muscles inside the child's mouth. The first vibrating massage ball 11 and the second vibrating massage ball 14 are embedded in the shell 12 of the massage part 1. The vibration can stimulate the muscles inside the mouth, promote blood circulation, and improve the flexibility and strength of the muscles. In this patent, three first vibrating massage balls 11 and two second vibrating massage balls 14 are provided for training the muscles of the cheeks, root of the tongue, and part of the tongue. The grip part 2 is designed for children to hold, making it convenient for them to grasp the pacifier stably during use.

[0029] The massage part 1 includes a housing 12. The top, sides, and opposite side of the housing 12 are provided with fitting grooves 13. The fitting grooves 13 are used to fit and mount a first vibrating massage ball 11 and a second vibrating massage ball 14. Their shape and size match the first vibrating massage ball 11 and the second vibrating massage ball 14, ensuring that the massage balls can be stably placed within them. The bottom of each fitting groove 13 is provided with a sliding hole 15, in which the first vibrating massage ball 11 and the second vibrating massage ball 14 are placed. For the first vibrating massage ball 11, the sliding hole 15 allows it to move outward from the fitting groove 13 during vibration, thereby contacting the muscles on both sides of the cheeks and the root of the tongue that need to be trained. For the second vibrating massage ball 14, the sliding hole 15 allows it to vibrate within a certain range, thereby providing vibration massage training to the muscles of the tongue, increasing the flexibility and effectiveness of the training.

[0030] The first vibrating massage ball 11 includes a shell 112, which is fitted into a fitting groove 13. The shell 112 is made of silicone material. A sliding post 111 is provided on the shell 112, and the sliding post 111 is slidably installed in a sliding hole 15. The sliding post 111 guides and stabilizes the outward sliding of the first vibrating massage ball 11. A limit ring 113 is provided at the end of the sliding post 111. The limit ring 113 is used to limit the range of movement of the sliding post 111 in the sliding hole 15 and prevent the first vibrating massage ball 11 from falling out of the shell 12 during outward movement.

[0031] A micro motor 114 is installed inside the sliding column 111, and an eccentric block 115 is connected to the micro motor 114. The eccentric block 115 is located inside the spherical shell 112. The micro motor 114 is a small, efficient electric motor that can drive the eccentric block 115 to rotate rapidly. When the micro motor 114 rotates, the eccentric block 115 generates a centrifugal force due to its uneven mass distribution. This force causes the entire first vibrating massage ball 11 to vibrate within the shell 12, thereby achieving the effect of training the muscles on both sides of the cheeks and the muscles at the base of the tongue.

[0032] A magnet 116 is provided on the inner wall of the spherical shell 112 near the sliding column 111. A magnet 18 is provided on the bottom inner wall of the fitting groove 13. When the first vibrating massage ball 11 is located in the fitting groove 13, the magnet 18 and the magnet 116 attract each other. At this time, the massage part 1 is in a stationary state, and the first vibrating massage ball 11 is attracted in the fitting groove 13 to prevent it from falling out.

[0033] The housing 12 also has a baffle 16 inside, which isolates the battery compartment 17 from other components inside the housing 12, preventing the battery or other items from directly contacting sensitive components such as the first vibrating massage ball 11 or the micro motor 114. The battery compartment 17 is located below the baffle 16, and a battery is placed inside the battery compartment 17. The micro motor 114 in the first vibrating massage ball 11 and the second vibrating massage ball 14 is connected to the battery in the battery compartment 17 via a wire 171.

[0034] The second vibrating massage ball 14 has the same shape and structure as the first vibrating massage ball 11, but it does not contain a magnet 116, and its sliding post 111 is shorter than that of the first vibrating massage ball 11. Since the second vibrating massage ball 14 is used for tongue training, and the distance between the tongue and the upper oral cavity is short, there is no need for extension vibration. Simply placing it on the tongue and closing the mouth completes the training. Therefore, there is no need to use a magnet 116 or a longer sliding post 111 to achieve the extension effect.

[0035] The gripping part 2 includes a base plate 25, which provides support. A ring pin 26 is located on the top of the base plate 25, fitting into the bottom of the housing 12. The gripping part 2 is mounted on the bottom of the housing 12 of the massage part 1 via the ring pin 26. A remote control post 21 is located below the base plate 25. The control device for the micro motor 114 is installed inside the remote control post 21. The remote control post 21 has three buttons: button 1 22, corresponding to three vibration intensities, which can be used to adjust the vibration intensity. There are also three buttons: button 23, corresponding to the top and side first vibrating massage balls 11, allowing individual control of the vibration of a single first vibrating massage ball 11. Button 3 17 controls the vibration of the two second vibrating massage balls 14.

[0036] The bottom of the remote control column 21 is equipped with a grip ring 24, which is convenient for children to grasp.

[0037] Working Principle: When training a child's oral muscles, give the child the oral massage pacifier and let the child put it in their mouth. The child grasps it with one hand using the grip ring 24, simulating sucking on a pacifier. The vibration intensity of the first vibrating massage ball 11 or the second vibrating massage ball 14 can be adjusted via button 1 22, the vibration of a specific first vibrating massage ball 11 can be controlled via button 2 23, and the vibration of the second vibrating massage ball 14 can be controlled via button 3 27. This trains the muscles in a specific area of ​​the mouth. When the first vibrating massage ball 11 is not vibrating, it is attracted to the fitting groove 13 by magnet 2 18. When the corresponding button 1 22 or button 2 23 is pressed, the micro motor 114 starts driving the eccentric block 115 to rotate, generating vibration. The force generated by the vibration causes magnet 1 116 and magnet 2 18 to disengage, allowing the first vibrating massage ball 11 to vibrate freely. While vibrating, the first vibrating massage ball 11 slides outward from the sliding hole 15 via the sliding column 111, training the muscles on both sides of the mouth and the muscles at the root of the tongue. Specifically, the first vibrating massage ball 11 located in the top fitting groove 13 trains the root of the tongue, while the first vibrating massage balls 11 located in the side fitting grooves 13 train the muscles on both sides of the cheeks. Placing the side with the second vibrating massage ball 14 on the tongue and pressing button 27 allows the second vibrating massage ball 14 to vibrate and massage the entire tongue. Since the distance between the tongue and the upper palate is short, there is no need to extend the tongue for vibration; simply placing the ball on the tongue and closing the mouth completes the exercise. This achieves the effect of automatically training the children's oral muscles and providing targeted training for specific muscles within the mouth.
