Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of health care device technology, and in particular to a massage component and massage device. Background Technology

[0002] Massage devices, as health care instruments to relieve or eliminate physical fatigue, are becoming increasingly popular due to their flexibility and convenience. To achieve better massage effects, manufacturers often design targeted massage devices based on the structural characteristics of different parts of the body, such as neck massage devices, waist massage devices, and other types of massage devices.

[0003] With increasingly more people spending long hours in their work and daily lives, discomfort in the neck, shoulders, or lower back is common. However, most massage devices in the market are not only complex in assembly and expensive to produce, but also offer limited massage techniques, harsh application of massage methods, and unsatisfactory results. Utility Model Content

[0004] This disclosure provides a massage component and massage device that are not only simple in structure but also enhance the massage effect.

[0005] Specifically, this disclosure is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a massage component is provided, including a massage arm, a massage head, and a sliding connecting arm. The massage arm includes a rotating portion and a mounting portion connected to the rotating portion, the rotating portion having a mounting hole. The massage head is connected to the mounting portion. The sliding connecting arm includes a connecting portion connected to the rotating portion and a sliding portion connected to the connecting portion, the connecting portion and the mounting portion being arranged circumferentially along the mounting hole. The sliding portion protrudes axially from the massage arm along the mounting hole, and during rotation of the rotating portion, the sliding portion also reciprocates radially along the mounting hole to limit the range of motion of the massage head.

[0007] The technical solution of this disclosure will be further explained below:

[0008] In one embodiment, the connecting portion is provided with an arc inclined axially toward the mounting hole, so that the sliding portion protrudes axially onto the massage arm along the mounting hole.

[0009] In one embodiment, the connecting part is provided with a connecting end connected to the rotating part and a mating end that is radially spaced from the connecting end along the assembly hole. The size of the connecting part gradually decreases from the connecting end to the mating end, and the sliding part is connected to the mating end.

[0010] In one embodiment, the connecting part is provided with a plurality of connecting ribs extending in the direction from the connecting end to the mating end. The connecting ribs are spaced apart and the spacing between adjacent connecting ribs gradually decreases so as to converge and connect to the sliding part.

[0011] In one embodiment, the massage arm is bent in the direction of the rotating part toward the mounting part, and the curved concave surface of the massage arm is oriented toward the sliding part.

[0012] In one embodiment, the massage component further includes a cam, which has a rotatable connecting portion and an eccentric connecting portion disposed eccentrically to the rotatable connecting portion, one of which is connected to a mounting hole.

[0013] In one embodiment, the rotating part is further provided with a clearance part communicating with the mounting hole, and the cam is disposed in the clearance part.

[0014] In one embodiment, the cam has a mounting hole that passes through the rotating connecting part and the eccentric connecting part. The mounting hole is coaxial with the rotating connecting part and eccentric with the eccentric connecting part. The mounting hole is used to mount a drive rod to drive the cam to rotate.

[0015] In one embodiment, the massage head includes a first housing connected to a mounting portion and a second housing detachably connected to the first housing. The second housing has a massage surface facing away from the first housing, and at least a portion of the massage surface is disposed toward the sliding portion.

[0016] In some embodiments, the massage member further includes a telescopic mechanism, which includes a drive member connected to the mounting portion and a movable member pulsatingly connected to the drive member. The movable member is connected to the massage head. The drive member drives the movable member to reciprocate, causing the massage head to reciprocate relative to the mounting portion to adjust the massage position.

[0017] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a massage device is provided, including a carrier, a drive assembly, and a massage element from any of the above embodiments. Two massage elements are provided, including a first massage element and a second massage element. The drive assembly includes a rotary motor disposed on the carrier and a transmission mechanism connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor. The rotating portions of the first massage element and the second massage element are respectively connected to the transmission mechanism, causing the rotary motor to drive the first and second massage elements to rotate respectively. Furthermore, the sliding connecting arms of the first and second massage elements are slidably disposed relative to the carrier, so that the first and second massage elements respectively massage the massage area.

[0018] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0019] The massage component provided in this disclosure, during use, allows its rotating part to connect to the drive rod, drive shaft, or gear of the massage device via a mounting hole, thereby driving the massage component to rotate and knead the massage area. The sliding connecting arm of the massage component can be slidably connected to the massage device. Thus, when the massage device drives the massage component to rotate, the massage component not only kneads the massage area but also guides the massage arm to slide back and forth relative to the massage device. This allows the massage arm to move the massage head closer to or further away from the massage area, increasing or decreasing the massage pressure.

[0020] Thus, the massage component provided by this disclosure can not only perform kneading massage on the massage area, enriching massage techniques, but also, due to its simple structure, is easy to process and manufacture, and is easy to assemble, thereby reducing production costs.

[0021] Understandably, the massage area can include the neck, shoulders, back, waist, or legs, etc. The massage device provided in this disclosure can be applied to any area that a user needs to massage, such as the neck, shoulders, neck and shoulder, or waist. This disclosure does not impose any limitations. The above general description and the following detailed description are merely exemplary and explanatory and do not limit this disclosure.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0035] If this disclosure uses terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (e.g., up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, height, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" in this disclosure are used only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] Massage devices, as health care instruments to relieve or eliminate physical fatigue, are becoming increasingly popular due to their flexibility and convenience. To achieve better massage effects, manufacturers typically design targeted massage devices based on the structural characteristics of different parts of the body, such as neck massagers, waist massagers, and shoulder and neck massagers. However, with a wide variety of massage devices and brands available, consumers have many choices. Therefore, how to win consumer favor and enhance product competitiveness has become an increasingly important issue for massage device manufacturers.

[0037] Taking neck and shoulder massage devices as an example, these devices are specifically designed for the curves of the neck and shoulders. They can massage and relax the shoulder and neck muscles separately, relieving neck and shoulder fatigue. Currently, people are increasingly spending long hours sitting at desks or looking down at their phones, which easily leads to neck and shoulder discomfort, resulting in a growing market demand for neck and shoulder massage devices.

[0038] However, in most related technologies, the neck massage components of shoulder and neck massagers move independently. For example, the neck massage component only kneads and massages the neck muscles by rotating on its own, and the shoulder massage component only kneads and massages the shoulder muscles by rotating on its own. This results in the neck and shoulder muscles being kneaded and massaged separately, failing to achieve the kneading and pressing massage of the neck and shoulder muscles relative to each other. In other words, the shoulder and neck massagers in these technologies cannot simulate the kneading and pressing massage of the human hand. Furthermore, although some related technologies provide shoulder and neck massagers that can achieve shoulder and neck kneading and pressing massage, the assembly structure between the neck massage components of these devices is very complex. It not only requires numerous assembly parts, but also requires high assembly precision, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and results in high production costs.

[0039] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a massage component that is not only simple in structure, easy to manufacture and assemble, but also enables kneading massage of the massage area, thereby enhancing the massage effect.

[0040] The massage component 100 provided in this disclosure will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage member 100 according to one embodiment. Figure 2 for Figure 1The diagram shows the structure of the massage component 100 from another perspective. This disclosure provides a massage component 100, including a massage arm 110, a massage head 120, and a sliding connecting arm 130. The massage arm 110 includes a rotating portion 111 and a mounting portion 112 connected to the rotating portion 111. The rotating portion 111 has a mounting hole 113. The massage head 120 is connected to the mounting portion 112. The sliding connecting arm 130 includes a connecting portion 131 connected to the rotating portion 111 and a sliding portion 132 connected to the connecting portion 131. The connecting portion 131 and the mounting portion 112 are arranged circumferentially along the mounting hole 113. The sliding portion 132 protrudes axially from the massage arm 110 along the mounting hole 113. During the rotation of the rotating portion 111, the sliding portion 132 also reciprocates radially along the mounting hole 113 to limit the range of motion of the massage head 120.

[0042] It should be noted that the massage component 100, as part of the massage device 1, can be independently configured for processing and assembly. The massage head 120 is used to contact the massage area, and the massage arm 110 is used to assemble and connect the massage head 120 to the massage device 1 and transmit power to the massage head 120 to drive it to massage the neck. The sliding connecting arm 130 is used to limit and guide the massage arm 110 during its movement, adjusting the trajectory of the massage arm 110.

[0043] Specifically, during the assembly of the massage component 100, the rotating part 111 of the massage arm 110 can be connected to a transmission mechanism such as a drive shaft, drive rod 320, or gear through the mounting hole 113. The transmission mechanism can be integrated into the massage device 1 to transmit torque to the massage arm 110. The mounting part 112 of the massage arm 110 can be connected to the massage head 120 to transmit torque to the massage head 120. The sliding connecting arm 130 can be slidably connected to the housing of the massage device 1 or the neck massage component 200 to limit the range of motion of the massage arm 110 and adjust the massage technique of the massage head 120.

[0044] Among them, the massage arm 110 can be along Figure 1 Extending in the direction shown in the middle Z, so as to have along Figure 1 The length in the Z direction is shown in the diagram. After the massage arm 110, massage head 120, and sliding connecting arm 130 are connected to form the massage member 100, the massage arm 110 and the sliding connecting arm 130 are arranged circumferentially along the mounting hole 113. In this way, the transmission mechanism connected to the mounting hole 113 can drive the massage member 100 to move around the rotating part 111 as the rotation fulcrum. As an example, when the rotating part 111 rotates about the axis of the mounting hole 113, the massage arm 110 can drive the massage head 120 to rotate synchronously, so that the massage head 120 moves closer to or away from the massage area along an arc trajectory, lifting or relaxing the massage area and performing reciprocating kneading.

[0045] Meanwhile, the sliding connecting arm 130 can be slidably connected to the massage device 1. During the rotation of the massage arm 110, the sliding connecting arm 130 can also reciprocate radially along the mounting hole 113. As an example, when the massage arm 110 rotates counterclockwise around the axis of the mounting hole 113, the sliding connecting arm 130 can reciprocate radially along the mounting hole 113. Figure 1 The massage arm 110 moves radially in the opposite direction of X to limit its rotation range and guide it to move in the opposite direction of X, so that it can also drive the massage head 120 to approach the massage area along a straight trajectory and perform a squeezing massage. Thus, with the cooperation of the sliding connecting arm 130 and the massage arm 110, the massage head 120 has a composite trajectory of arc and straight lines, and approaches the massage area along this composite trajectory to perform a kneading massage. Correspondingly, when the massage arm 110 rotates clockwise around the axis of the mounting hole 113, the sliding connecting arm 130 can move along the mounting hole 113... Figure 1 The massage arm 110 moves radially as shown in the X direction to limit its rotation range and guide it along... Figure 1 The massage arm 110 moves in the X direction so that it can also drive the massage head 120 away from the massage area along a straight trajectory, thereby releasing the pressure on the massage area.

[0046] Thus, the massage component 100, through the cooperation of the massage arm 110 and the sliding connecting arm 130, can limit the rotation range of the massage head 120, and at the same time guide the massage head 120 to approach or move away from the massage area along a composite trajectory of superimposed arc and straight line, thereby reciprocating kneading and massaging the massage area.

[0047] Therefore, during use, the rotating part 111 of the massage component 100 provided in this disclosure can be connected to the drive rod, transmission shaft, or gear of the massage device 1 through the mounting hole 113 to drive the massage component 100 to rotate and perform kneading massage on the massage area. The sliding connecting arm 130 of the massage component 100 can be slidably connected to the massage device 1, so that when the massage device 1 drives the massage component 100 to rotate, the massage component 100 can not only perform kneading massage on the massage area, but also guide the massage arm 110 to slide back and forth relative to the massage device 1, thereby causing the massage arm 110 to drive the massage head 120 to move closer to or away from the massage area to perform kneading massage on the massage area. This allows the massage component 100 to combine kneading and kneading massage techniques, achieving kneading massage on the massage area and enriching the massage techniques. At the same time, the massage component 100 of this disclosure is simple in structure, easy to process and manufacture, and easy to assemble, thereby reducing production costs.

[0048] Understandably, the massage area can include the neck, massage area, back, waist or legs, etc. The massage component 100 provided in this disclosure can be used for any area that the user needs to massage, such as neck massage, massage area massage, shoulder and neck massage or waist massage, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage member 100 according to one embodiment. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the massage member 100 from another perspective. In some embodiments, to facilitate the connection of the sliding connecting arm 130 to the neck massage member 200, the connecting portion 131 is provided with an arc inclined axially toward the mounting hole 113, so that the sliding portion 132 protrudes from the massage arm 110 along the axial direction of the mounting hole 113.

[0050] It should be noted that when the connecting portion 131 is inclined along the axial direction of the mounting hole 113, the sliding portion 132 can protrude relative to the massage arm 110, so that it is arranged on a different plane from the massage arm 110. This allows the sliding connecting arm 130 to be inserted into the neck massager 200 for installation without interfering with the massage arm 110 driving the massage head 120 to rotate. As an example, the connecting portion 131 can extend in the opposite direction of X in the figure to connect with the rotating portion 111, the axial direction of the mounting hole 113 can be arranged in the Y direction, and the connecting portion 131 can be inclined in the direction shown in the Y direction in the figure, so that the sliding connecting arm 130 protrudes from the massage arm 110. It is understood that when the connecting portion 131 is inclined along the axial direction of the mounting hole 113, the entire part of the connecting portion 131 can be gradually inclined, or a part of the connecting portion 131 can be protruding relative to another part. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to improve the structural compactness of the massage component 100, the connecting part 131 is provided with a connecting end 131a connected to the rotating part 111 and a mating end 131b arranged radially from the connecting end 131a along the mounting hole 113. The size of the connecting part 131 gradually decreases from the connecting end 131a to the mating end 131b, and the sliding part 132 is connected to the mating end 131b.

[0052] It should be noted that the connecting end 131a is connected to the rotating part 111 and is used to transmit rotational torque. The mating end 131b is connected to the sliding part 132 and is used for sliding. Therefore, the size of the connecting end 131a is set to be relatively large, which can effectively transmit rotational torque and avoid the sliding connecting arm 130 from breaking. The force on the mating end 131b is relatively small, so its size can be set to be smaller than that of the connecting end 131a, just enough to meet the requirements of the sliding connection. In this way, the overall size of the connecting part 131 can be set gradually from the connecting end 131a to the mating end 131b, which can not only meet the structural strength requirements, but also improve the structural compactness, which is conducive to reducing the assembly space of the massage component 100 and realizing the miniaturization and portability of the device.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to improve the structural strength of the sliding connecting arm 130, the connecting part 131 is provided with a plurality of connecting ribs 133 extending in the direction from the connecting end 131a to the mating end 131b. Each connecting rib 133 is spaced apart and the distance between two adjacent connecting ribs 133 gradually decreases, so as to converge and connect to the sliding part 132.

[0054] It should be noted that the connecting rib 133 can be a protruding rib extending from the connecting portion 131. The connecting rib 133 extends from the connecting end 131a to the mating end 131b to improve the structural strength of the connecting portion 131. Furthermore, during the extension process, the spacing between adjacent connecting ribs 133 gradually decreases along the direction from the connecting end 131a to the mating end 131b. This means that the spacing between the connecting ribs 133 at the connecting end 131a is larger, and the density is more sparse. The spacing between the connecting ribs 133 at the mating end 131b is smaller, and the density is more compact. Thus, the interval between adjacent connecting ribs 133 can be arranged in an approximately triangular pattern to improve the structural strength of the connecting portion 131 through the structural stability of the triangle. Simultaneously, this arrangement of the connecting ribs 133 can reduce the number of connecting ribs 133 required, facilitating manufacturing. Moreover, the number of connecting ribs 133 can be one, two, three, or more as needed; this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0055] See Figures 3 to 5 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the massage component 100 integrated with the cam 140 according to one embodiment. Figure 4 for Figure 3 The diagram shown is a structural illustration from another perspective. Figure 5This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the cam 140 shown in one embodiment. In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the movement of the massage member 100, the massage member 100 further includes a cam 140. The cam 140 is provided with a rotating connecting portion 141 and an eccentric connecting portion 142 that is eccentrically disposed with respect to the rotating connecting portion 141. One of the eccentric connecting portion 142 and the rotating connecting portion 141 is connected to the mounting hole 113.

[0056] It should be noted that the cam 140 can be used to connect a transmission shaft or drive rod 320, thereby driving the massage element 100 to rotate. Simultaneously, when the massage element 100 is used in conjunction with the neck massage element 200, the cam 140 is positioned between the massage element 100 and the neck massage element 200. The eccentric movement of the cam 140 can drive the massage element 100 and the neck massage element 200 to have different rotation amplitudes, thereby causing the sliding connecting arm 130 to slide back and forth relative to the neck massage element 200, thus achieving a kneading massage of the shoulders and neck.

[0057] As an example, the cam 140 is provided with a mounting hole 143 that passes through the rotating connecting portion 141 and the eccentric connecting portion 142. The mounting hole 143 is coaxially arranged with respect to the rotating connecting portion 141 and eccentrically arranged with respect to the eccentric connecting portion 142. The mounting hole 143 is used to install the drive rod 320 to drive the cam 140 to rotate. Taking the connection between the neck massage component 200 and the rotating connecting portion 141 of the cam 140 as an example, the massage component 100 can be sleeved on the eccentric connecting portion 142 through the assembly hole 113. The neck massage component 200 can be provided with a sliding groove 210 for mounting the sliding connecting arm 130, so that the massage component 100 and the neck massage component 200 can slide relative to each other during rotation.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of massage element 100 and neck massage element 200 according to one embodiment. During the eccentric rotation of cam 140, when sliding connecting arm 130 is in the right position of slide groove 210, massage element 100 moves closer to neck massage element 200, reducing the angle between them and thus applying pressure to the shoulders and neck. When sliding connecting arm 130 is in the left position of slide groove 210, massage element 100 moves away from neck massage element 200, increasing the angle between them and thus releasing pressure on the shoulders and neck. Thus, during the eccentric rotation of cam 140, sliding connecting arm 130 reciprocates between the left and right positions of slide groove 210 to adjust the relative movement distance between massage element 100 and neck massage element 200, thereby achieving a kneading massage of the shoulders and neck.

[0059] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the massage arm 110 is bent along the direction from the rotating part 111 to the mounting part 112, and the curved concave surface of the massage arm 110 faces the sliding part 132. The slide groove 210 can be arranged along the length direction of the neck massage member 200, so that after the sliding connecting arm 130 is inserted into the slide groove 210, the neck massage member 200 and the massage member 100 can be assembled at an angle, so that when the user wears the massage device 1, the neck massage member 200 corresponds to the neck muscles and the massage member 100 corresponds to the shoulder muscles.

[0060] Furthermore, see you Figure 3 In some embodiments, to improve the structural compactness of the massage member 100, the rotating part 111 is also provided with a clearance part 114 communicating with the mounting hole 113, and the cam 140 can be disposed in the clearance part 114.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, to facilitate maintenance and replacement of the massage head 120, the massage head 120 includes a first housing 121 connected to the mounting portion 112 and a second housing 122 detachably connected to the first housing 121. The second housing 122 has a massage surface facing away from the first housing 121, and at least a portion of the massage surface is disposed toward the sliding portion 132.

[0062] It should be noted that the side of the massage head 120 that contacts the shoulder is often prone to wear. By separating the second housing 122 from the first housing 121, and fixing the first housing 121 to the massage arm 110, only one side of the second housing 122 needs to be replaced when the massage surface is worn or damaged. This saves costs and simplifies installation.

[0063] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to facilitate adjustment of the shoulder massage position, the massage member 100 further includes a telescopic mechanism 150. The telescopic mechanism 150 includes a drive member connected to the mounting portion 112 and a movable member pulsatingly connected to the drive member. The movable member is connected to the massage head 120. The drive member drives the movable member to reciprocate, causing the massage head 120 to reciprocate relative to the mounting portion 112 to adjust the massage position.

[0064] It should be noted that the shoulder massage position varies depending on individual height, so adjusting the extension length of the massage head 120 can accommodate different people's shoulder massage needs. Additionally, for individual users, adjusting the extension length of the massage head 120 allows for massage of shoulder muscles at different heights.

[0065] Understandably, the telescopic mechanism 150 can be implemented in various ways, including but not limited to power devices that directly drive the massage head to move, such as pneumatic rods, hydraulic rods, and linear motors, as well as power mechanisms that indirectly realize the telescopic movement of the massage head, such as gear and rack mechanisms and lead screw and nut mechanisms.

[0066] As an example, the driving component includes a drive motor mounted on the mounting portion, a screw rotatably disposed on the mounting portion, and a slider connected to the massage head. The slider is threadedly connected to the screw. The drive motor can drive the screw to rotate, thereby causing the slider to move along the axis of the screw, so as to move the massage head 120 relative to the mounting portion and adjust the extension length of the massage head. This embodiment is easy to implement and has a compact structure.

[0067] In addition to the massage component 100 described above, this disclosure also provides a massage device 1, which will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage device 1 according to an embodiment. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a shoulder and neck massage component 10 according to one embodiment. In some embodiments, a massage device 1 provided in this disclosure includes a support member 20, a drive assembly 30, and a massage component 100. Two massage components 100 are provided, including a first massage component and a second massage component. The drive assembly 30 includes a rotary motor 31 disposed on the support member 20 and a transmission mechanism 32 connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 31. The rotating portions 111 of the first massage component and the second massage component are respectively connected to the transmission mechanism 32, so that the rotary motor 31 drives the first and second massage components to rotate respectively. Furthermore, the sliding connecting arms 130 of the first and second massage components are also slidably disposed relative to the support member 20, so that the first and second massage components massage the shoulders respectively.

[0069] It should be noted that after the user wears the massage device 1, the first massage element and the second massage element can be worn on both sides of the neck to correspond to the shoulder muscles on both sides. When the massage device 1 is in use, the rotary motor 31 can drive the first massage element and the second massage element to rotate through the transmission mechanism 32. Understandably, the transmission mechanism 32 includes a gear mechanism, a worm gear mechanism, or a belt drive mechanism 32, etc., and this disclosure does not impose any limitations. The support member 20 is used to support and assemble the first massage element, the second massage element, and the drive assembly 30. The shape of the support member 20 can be set according to the assembly requirements, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations. At the same time, the support member 20 can also be provided with slide grooves or slide rails that correspond one-to-one with the sliding connecting arms 130 of the first massage element and the sliding connecting arms 130 of the second massage element, so that the two sliding connecting arms 130 can slide respectively, thereby adjusting the massage movement of the first massage element and the second massage element.

[0070] In some embodiments, to enhance the massage effect of the massage device 1, the massage device 1 may also have a neck massage function to work with the massage component 100 to achieve shoulder and neck massage.

[0071] As an example, the massage device 1 also includes a neck massager 200, which can be combined with the massager 100 to form a shoulder and neck massage component 10. See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a shoulder and neck massage component 10 according to one embodiment. Specifically, the shoulder and neck massage component 10 provided in this disclosure includes a transmission assembly 300, a neck massage component 200, and a massage component 100 of any of the above embodiments. The transmission assembly 300 includes a rotating shaft 310 and a drive rod 320 movably connected to the rotating shaft 310. The drive rod 320 is connected to the rotating part 111 via a mounting hole 113. The neck massage component 200 is sleeved on the drive rod 320 and is eccentrically disposed relative to the massage component 100. A sliding part 132 is slidably connected to the neck massage component 200. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 310, the drive rod 320 drives the rotating part 111 to rotate around the axis 311 of the rotating shaft, and the sliding part 132 slides along the neck massage component 200, causing relative movement between the massage components 100 to cooperate in kneading and massaging the shoulder and neck.

[0072] It should be noted that the axis 311 of the rotating shaft can be along... Figure 8 The pivot 310 is defined by a dashed line. It can be used to connect to a motor shaft or gear mechanism, or other driving components, to rotate the pivot 310. The drive rod 320 is used to integrate the neck massager 200 and massager 100, and is connected to the pivot 310 to transmit torque to the neck massager 200 and massager 100. To facilitate the massage of the neck and shoulder muscles by the neck massager 200 and massager 100, the drive rod 320 is inclined relative to the pivot 310, and is coaxial with the rotating connection portion 141 of the cam 140.

[0073] Thus, when the rotating shaft 310 drives the drive rod 320 to rotate around the axis 311 of the rotating shaft, the drive rod 320 can drive the cam 140 to rotate, causing the rotating connecting part 141 to drive the massage head 120 to reciprocate along the length of the massage arm 110, so as to knead and massage the neck muscles. At the same time, the eccentric connecting part 142 can drive the massage component 100 to rotate and move relative to the neck massage component 200, so that the neck massage component 200 and the massage component 100 can move closer or further apart while rotating, thereby coordinating to achieve a kneading massage of the shoulders and neck, so as to form a massage effect that simulates the tiger's mouth of a human hand.

[0074] Therefore, when the massage element 100 is installed in the massage device 1, it can be combined with the neck massage element 200 to achieve shoulder and neck massage. Specifically, the rotating part 111 of the massage element 100 can be connected to the drive rod 320, drive shaft, or gear of the massage device 1 through the mounting hole 113 to drive the massage element 100 to rotate. The sliding connecting arm 130 of the massage element 100 can be slidably connected to the neck massage element 200, thus completing the assembly of the massage element 100 and the neck massage element 200. In this way, when the massage device 1 drives the massage element 100 and the neck massage element 200 to rotate, they can respectively knead and massage the shoulder and neck muscles. Simultaneously, the sliding connecting arm 130 can also guide the massage arm 110 to slide back and forth relative to the neck massage element 200, thereby causing the massage arm 110 to move the massage head 120 closer to or further away from the neck massage element 200. When the massage component 100 and the neck massage component 200 approach each other, they can respectively draw the shoulder and neck muscles closer together to perform a kneading massage. When the massage component 100 and the neck massage component 200 move away from each other, the pressure on the shoulder and neck muscles is released. Thus, the massage component 100 provided by this disclosure can be assembled with the neck massage component 200 to achieve a kneading massage of the shoulder and neck, enriching the massage techniques. Furthermore, the massage component 100 of this disclosure is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and easy to assemble, thereby reducing production costs.

[0075] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the relative distance between the first and second shoulder and neck massage components 10 of the massage device 1 is adjustable to accommodate people with different neck sizes, which will not be elaborated upon in this disclosure.

[0076] It should be noted that when one component is considered to be "transmitting a connection" to another component, the connection can be either detachable or non-detachable, as long as force can be transmitted. For example, shaft connections, sleeve connections, snap-fit ​​connections, integral molding, and welding are all feasible in conventional technologies and can be flexibly selected according to the actual application requirements. For instance, one component may have a non-cylindrical part, and the other component may have a mating hole for transmission with the non-cylindrical part. Non-cylindrical parts include polygonal cylinders, elliptical cylinders, semi-cylindrical parts, etc., which will not be elaborated upon in this disclosure. Furthermore, "transmitting a connection" also includes connections via gear mechanisms, chain mechanisms, or belt drives, which are not limited in this disclosure.

[0077] The components included in the "components," "parts," and "mechanisms" of this disclosure can be flexibly combined. They can be modularly produced according to actual needs and assembled as an independent module; or they can be assembled separately to form a module in this device. The division of the above-mentioned components in this disclosure is only one embodiment for ease of reading and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure. Any technical solution that includes the above-mentioned components and has the same function should be understood as an equivalent technical solution of this disclosure.

[0078] The technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or complemented by each other without conflict. The scope of this disclosure is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings. All modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this disclosure should be included within the scope of protection of this disclosure.
