Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage equipment technology, and in particular to a massage mechanism and a massager. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most lumbar massagers use a rigid output shaft that is fixedly connected to the massage head, and their kinematic characteristics are limited by rotational freedom in a two-dimensional plane. Specifically, traditional mechanisms drive the massage head to perform circular motion or reciprocating oscillation in the sagittal or coronal plane through a single-degree-of-freedom drive mechanism. However, the surface of the human back has complex three-dimensional curved features, and there are significant differences in physiological curvature between individuals. The motion trajectory of the existing massage head in the two-dimensional plane cannot dynamically conform to the anatomical contours of different users, resulting in a reduced effective contact area and localized pressure distribution. This makes it impossible to effectively knead deep muscle tissue, and the horizontal force component can easily cause excessive friction in the epidermis, producing discomfort such as a burning sensation, which seriously affects the consistency of the massage experience among different user groups. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a massage mechanism and massager, which aims to solve the problem that existing waist massagers cannot fit the human waist and back well.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the massage mechanism proposed in this utility model includes:

[0005] A power output device includes a drive body and a transmission component, one end of which is drivenly connected to the drive body;

[0006] A massage mechanism includes a massage component and a support component. The support component is connected to the end of a transmission component away from the driving body. The massage component is disposed on the side of the support component away from the transmission component. The support component has a positioning part and a sliding part. The massage component has a first mating part and a second mating part. The driving body drives the transmission component to rotate and, via the positioning part, drives the massage component to rotate around the axis of the transmission component. The massage component is positioned and mounted on the positioning part via the first mating part, and the massage component slides with the sliding part via the second mating part, so that the massage component can be oscillating relative to the support component.

[0007] In one embodiment, the sliding part is connected to the transmission member and the sliding part has a spherical surface, the positioning part is a positioning shaft provided on the sliding part, the second mating part is a mounting groove provided on the massage member, the first mating part is a first notch groove provided on the side wall of the mounting groove, the mounting groove is provided with a first curved surface that abuts against the spherical surface, and the positioning shaft is movably provided in the first notch groove.

[0008] In one embodiment, the massage mechanism further includes a pressure cap connected to the massage member to confine the sliding portion within the mounting groove, the pressure cap having a second curved surface that abuts against the spherical surface.

[0009] In one embodiment, the pressure cap is further provided with a second notch that communicates with the first notch. The first notch and the second notch together form a positioning hole. The positioning hole extends along the thickness direction of the massage member, and the positioning shaft is oscillatingly disposed within the positioning hole.

[0010] In one embodiment, the sliding part has a slot on the side facing the driving body, the pressure cover has a through hole, and the end of the transmission member away from the driving body passes through the through hole and is inserted into the slot.

[0011] In one embodiment, the positioning part consists of four positioning shafts disposed on the sliding part. The four positioning shafts are evenly distributed around the sliding part in the circumference, and the massage member is provided with the first notch groove corresponding to each positioning shaft.

[0012] In one embodiment, the massage mechanism further includes a vibration motor, and the massage component is provided with a limiting groove, which is spaced apart from the first mating part and the second mating part.

[0013] In one embodiment, the massage mechanism further includes a conductive plate and a carbon brush. The conductive plate is disposed on the drive body, the carbon brush is disposed on the support member and electrically connected to the conductive plate, and the vibration motor is electrically connected to the carbon brush.

[0014] In one embodiment, the support member is further provided with a mounting part, and a mounting hole is provided through the mounting part. The carbon brush passes through the mounting hole and one end abuts against the conductive plate. The mounting part is also provided with a fixing plate, and the end of the carbon brush away from the conductive plate abuts against the fixing plate through an elastic member.

[0015] This utility model also proposes a massager, including the massage mechanism in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0016] This invention employs a support member with a specific structure to allow the massage element of the massage mechanism to swing and conform to the curve of the human back. Specifically, the massage mechanism includes a power output device and a massage mechanism. The power output device includes a drive body and a transmission component. The drive body is a shell containing components such as a battery, a drive motor, and a worm gear.

[0031] This utility model proposes a massage mechanism.

[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the massage mechanism 100 includes a power output device 1 and a massage mechanism 2. The power output device 1 includes a drive body 11 and a transmission component 12. The drive body 11 is an assembly formed by a housing and a main control board, battery, drive motor, worm gear and other components disposed inside the housing. The transmission component 12 has a gear that meshes with the worm gear at one end extending into the drive body 11. The drive motor is used to drive the transmission component 12 to rotate along its axial direction through the worm gear.

[0033] The massage mechanism 2 includes a massage element 21 and a support element 22. The support element 22 is connected to the end of the transmission element 12 away from the drive body 11. The massage element 21 is located on the side of the transmission element 12 away from the drive body 11. The support element 22 has a positioning part 221 and a sliding part 222. The massage element 21 has a first mating part 211 and a second mating part 212. The massage element 21 is positioned on the positioning part 221 through the first mating part 211 and slides with the sliding part 222 through the second mating part 212, allowing the massage element 21 to swing relative to the support element 22. When the massage mechanism 100 is working, the transmission element 12 drives the massage element 21 to rotate around the axis of the transmission element 12 through the positioning part 221. The massage element 21 can swing relative to the support element 22, so that the massage element 21 can better conform to the curve of the human back and improve the massage effect.

[0034] It should be noted that the positioning part 221 and the first mating part 211 can be configured as a positioning structure of a pin and a hole, or as a mating structure of a locking block and a slot. The specific configuration is not limited, as long as the positioning part 221 can apply a force to the first mating part 211 when the transmission member 12 rotates, causing the massage member 21 to rotate around the axis of the transmission member 12. Furthermore, the sliding part 222 and the second mating part 212 can be configured as a ball-and-socket structure, a universal joint structure, etc., allowing the massage member 21 to swing relative to the support member 22 to conform to the curve of the human back.

[0035] While the massage member 21 oscillates, the positioning part 221 and the first mating part 211 can be configured as a movable mating structure. This allows the transmission member 12 to transmit force through the positioning part 221, while ensuring that the massage member 21 can oscillate relative to the support member 22 without interfering with each other. Therefore, the specific structure of the positioning part 221, the first mating part 211, the sliding part 222, and the second mating part 212 can be set according to actual needs, and no specific limitations are made here.

[0036] In one embodiment, the sliding part 222 is connected to the transmission member 12 and the sliding part 222 has a spherical surface. The positioning part 221 is a positioning shaft provided on the sliding part 222. The second mating part 212 is a mounting groove provided on the massage member 21. The first mating part 211 is a first notch groove provided on the side wall of the mounting groove. The mounting groove is provided with a first curved surface 213 that abuts against the spherical surface. The positioning shaft is movably provided in the first notch groove.

[0037] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the sliding part 222 has a spherical structure and a spherical surface on its outer surface. The sliding part 222 is connected to the transmission member 12. The positioning part 221 is a positioning shaft provided on the spherical surface. The second mating part 212 is a mounting groove provided on the back of the massage member 21. The first mating part 211 is a first notch groove provided on the side wall of the mounting groove. The sliding part 222 of the support member 22 is installed into the mounting groove, and the positioning shaft is embedded in the first notch groove. The mounting groove is also provided with a first curved surface 213. When the massage member 21 swings on the support member 22, the first curved surface 213 slides in contact with the spherical surface of the sliding part 222, and the positioning shaft moves within the first notch groove.

[0038] Understandably, the sliding part 222 is spherical, and the second mating part 212 is a spherical mounting groove whose shape matches that of the sliding part 222. Together, they form a ball-and-socket structure, enabling the massage element 21 to have multi-degree-of-freedom oscillation capabilities and flexible angle adjustment, allowing the massage surface of the massage element 21 to better fit the human waist. The ball-and-socket structure can withstand a large load, helping to increase structural stability. The spherical surface and the first curved surface 213 reduce friction during movement, avoiding severe wear between components and extending the service life of the massage mechanism 100. The positioning shaft structure stably transmits power to the massage element 21 for rotational massage operations.

[0039] In one embodiment, the massage mechanism 2 further includes a pressure cover 23, which is connected to the massage member 21 to limit the sliding part 222 within the mounting groove. The pressure cover 23 has a second curved surface 231 that abuts against the spherical surface.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the massage mechanism 2 further includes a pressure cover 23. Specifically, the pressure cover 23 is disposed on the back of the massage member 21 and connected by screws. The pressure cover 23 is disposed at the opening of the mounting groove to confine the sliding part 222 of the support member 22 within the mounting groove, preventing the massage member 21 from detaching from the support member 22. Furthermore, the pressure cover 23 is also provided with a second curved surface 231 corresponding to the spherical surface of the sliding part 222. The second curved surface 231 abuts against the sliding part 222 to reduce the friction between the support member 22 and the pressure cover 23. As can be seen from the above, by providing the pressure cover 23, the stability of the connection between the massage member 21 and the support can be improved. The first curved surface 213 and the second curved surface 231 can maintain the spherical center position of the sliding part 222 unchanged, ensuring uniform force distribution.

[0041] In one embodiment, the pressure cap 23 is further provided with a second notch 23b that communicates with the first notch. The first notch and the second notch 23b surround to form a positioning hole 2a. The positioning hole 2a extends along the thickness direction of the massage head, and the positioning shaft is oscillatingly disposed in the positioning hole 2a.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the pressure cap 23 has a second notch 23b on the side facing the massage member 21. When the pressure cap 23 is fastened to the upper limit mounting support 22 of the massage member 21, the second notch 23b aligns with the opening of the first notch and forms a positioning hole 2a. Figure 4 As shown, the positioning hole 2a extends along the thickness direction of the massage member 21, and the positioning shaft of the positioning part 221 passes through the positioning hole 2a. When the massage mechanism 100 is working, the user applies a force to the massage member 21, causing the sliding part 222 to slide within the second mating part 212. At the same time, the positioning shaft swings back and forth within the positioning hole 2a along its length direction. During this process, the length of the positioning hole 2a limits the amplitude of the swing of the massage member 21.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 6 It is understandable that, since the upper surface of the massage component 21 away from the support component 22 has two circular massage head structures, and the positioning hole 2a extends along the thickness direction of the massage component 21, the two massage heads of the massage component 21 can move up and down along the length direction of the transmission component 12, which can dynamically conform to the three-dimensional curved surface of different human waist and back, avoid reducing the effective contact area, and make the pressure distribution uniform to achieve effective kneading of deep muscle tissue.

[0044] In one embodiment, the sliding part 222 is provided with a slot 22a on the side facing the driving body 11, and the pressure cover 23 is provided with a through hole 23a. The end of the transmission member 12 away from the driving body 11 passes through the through hole 23a and is inserted into the slot 22a.

[0045] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a slot 22a is provided on the side of the spherical sliding part 222 facing the driving body 11, and a through hole 23a is opened at the corresponding position on the pressure cover 23. The transmission component 12 is a transmission shaft, and one end of it extending out of the driving body 11 matches the shape of the slot 22a. During installation, the support component 22 can be first fixed and installed onto the massage component 21 by the pressure cover 23, and then the transmission component 12 is inserted into the slot 22a through the through hole 23a. It can be understood that by providing a slot 22a on the support component 22, it is convenient to quickly assemble and disassemble the massage mechanism 2 and the transmission component 12, which can improve production efficiency and the convenience of maintenance and replacement.

[0046] In one embodiment, the positioning part 221 consists of four positioning shafts provided on the sliding part 222. The four positioning shafts are evenly distributed around the circumference of the sliding part 222, and the massage member 21 is provided with a first notch groove corresponding to each positioning shaft.

[0047] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the positioning part 221 consists of four positioning shafts disposed on the spherical sliding part 222. The four positioning shafts are evenly distributed around the spherical part and form a cross shaft structure. The first mating part 211 on the massage member 21 consists of four first notch grooves arranged in a cross shape. The second mating part 212 is a mounting groove for accommodating the sliding part 222. The four first notch grooves are all connected to the mounting groove. The sliding part 222 is inserted into the mounting groove, and the positioning shafts are embedded in the first notch grooves to achieve positioning. Furthermore, the spherical surface of the sliding part 222 abuts against the first curved surface 213 in the mounting groove, so that the massage member 21 can move forward, backward, left, and right, with more freedom and better fit the curved surface of the human waist and back.

[0048] Of course, in some other embodiments of this utility model, the number of positioning shafts included in the positioning part 221 can be set to at least one. The massage member 21 can be made to swing on the support member 22 by adjusting the fitting structure of the first fitting part 211. No specific limitation is made here.

[0049] In one embodiment, the massage mechanism 2 further includes a vibration motor 24. The massage component 21 is provided with a limiting groove 21a, which is spaced apart from the first mating part 211 and the second mating part 212. The vibration motor 24 is disposed in the limiting groove 21a and is used to drive the massage component 21 to vibrate when powered on.

[0050] like Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the massage mechanism 2 further includes a vibration motor 24. Specifically, in order to improve the massage effect, a limiting groove 21a is provided on the side of the massage component 21 facing the driving body 11. The limiting groove 21a is spaced apart from the first mating part 211 and the second mating part 212. The vibration motor 24 is installed in the limiting groove 21a and electrically connected to the driving body 11. During the operation of the massage mechanism 100, the vibration motor 24 can drive the massage component 21 to vibrate, thereby improving the user's massage experience.

[0051] In one embodiment, the massage mechanism 2 further includes a conductive plate 25 and a carbon brush 26. The conductive plate 25 is disposed on the drive body 11, and the carbon brush 26 is disposed on the support member 22 and electrically connected to the conductive plate 25. The vibration motor 24 is electrically connected to the carbon brush 26.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the massage mechanism 2 further includes a conductive plate 25 and a carbon brush 26. Specifically, the conductive plate 25 is disc-shaped with a through hole in the middle. The conductive plate 25 is fixed to the drive body 11 by screws, and the transmission component 12 extends out from the through hole to connect to the support component 22. The carbon brush 26 is mounted on the support component 22 and one end abuts against the conductive plate 25. The vibration motor 24 is electrically connected to the end of the carbon brush 26 away from the conductive plate 25 through wiring. The drive body 11 includes a battery electrically connected to the conductive plate 25 to provide power to the vibration motor 24.

[0053] As the massage element 21 rotates, the carbon brush 26 remains in constant contact with the conductive plate 25, ensuring that the vibration motor 24 is energized. Using the carbon brush 26 avoids the wiring from becoming tangled, knotted, or even broken when the vibration motor 24 is directly connected to the drive body 11, thus ensuring the stability and safety of the massage mechanism 100.

[0054] In one embodiment, the support member 22 is further provided with a mounting part 223, and a mounting hole 223a is provided through the mounting part 223. The carbon brush 26 is provided through the mounting hole 223a and one end abuts against the conductive plate 25. The mounting part 223 is also provided with a fixing plate 27, and the end of the carbon brush 26 away from the conductive plate 25 abuts against the fixing plate 27 through an elastic member 28.

[0055] like Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the support member 22 is further provided with a mounting part 223. Specifically, the mounting part 223 is provided at the end of one of the positioning shafts of the positioning part 221. The mounting part 223 is a block structure and has a mounting hole 223a extending through it along the length direction of the transmission member 12. The carbon brush 26 passes through the mounting hole 223a and one end abuts against the conductive plate 25. A fixing plate 27 is also provided on the side of the mounting part 223 away from the conductive plate 25. The end of the carbon brush 26 away from the conductive plate 25 abuts against the fixing plate 27 through an elastic member 28. In this embodiment, the elastic member 28 is a spring and is in a compressed state, applying elastic force to the carbon brush 26 to make it abut against the conductive plate 25, ensuring the stability of the connection. In some other embodiments of this utility model, the elastic member 28 can also be a spring sheet, torsion spring, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0056] This utility model also proposes a massager, which includes a massage mechanism 100. The specific structure of the massage mechanism 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this massager 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 described in detail here.

[0057] 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.
