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 typically design targeted massage devices based on the structural characteristics of different parts of the body, such as massage massagers, waist massagers, and shoulder and neck massagers.

[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 use massage heads with limited movement patterns, resulting in stiff massage techniques and unsatisfactory results. Utility Model Content

[0004] This disclosure provides a massage component and a massage device with a simple structure that can adapt to the complex massage trajectory movement of the massage area, enriching massage techniques and improving 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 limiting portion. The massage arm includes a rotating portion and a mounting portion connected to the rotating portion, with the length direction of the massage arm pointing from the rotating portion to the mounting portion. The massage head is connected to the mounting portion. The sliding limiting portion is connected to the rotating portion. During the rotation of the rotating portion, the sliding limiting portion also slides reciprocally along the rotation axis of the rotating portion, so that the massage head has a composite massage trajectory of rotation along the length direction of the massage arm and oscillation along the rotation axis of the rotating portion.

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

[0008] In one embodiment, the rotating part has a connecting hole along the thickness direction of the massage arm. The connecting hole is used to connect a drive rod to drive the rotating part to rotate. The mounting part and the sliding limit part are respectively connected to the rotating part radially along the connecting hole, and the mounting part and the sliding limit part are spaced apart from each other.

[0009] In one embodiment, the sliding limit portion protrudes from the rotating portion in the direction from the mounting portion to the rotating portion, so that the mounting portion, the rotating portion and the sliding limit portion are connected sequentially along the length of the massage arm.

[0010] In one embodiment, the sliding limiting part includes a swinging part connected to the rotating part and a sliding part connected to the swinging part. During the rotation of the rotating part, the swinging part drives the sliding part to slide back and forth along the rotation axis of the rotating part. The sliding part is used to slide with an external mounting part to limit the rotation amplitude of the massage head about the rotation axis of the rotating part and / or the swing amplitude along the rotation axis of the rotating part.

[0011] In one embodiment, the swinging part is fixedly connected to the rotating part and the sliding part respectively. During the rotation of the rotating part, the swinging part reciprocates along the rotation axis of the rotating part, so that the sliding part reciprocates obliquely relative to the rotation axis of the rotating part.

[0012] In one embodiment, the axis of the connecting hole is inclined or eccentrically set relative to the rotation axis of the rotating part, so that the massage head reciprocates and rubs the massage area along the length of the massage arm.

[0013] In one embodiment, the rotating part is further provided with a groove that communicates with and is coaxially arranged with the connecting hole, and the groove is used to install a limiting member that is adapted to the drive rod.

[0014] In one embodiment, the massage arm is provided with a limiting groove extending along the length of the massage arm, the limiting groove being used to limit the kneading trajectory of the massage head.

[0015] In one embodiment, the massage head includes a first housing connected to a massage arm and a second housing detachably connected to the first housing. The second housing has a massage surface facing away from the first housing, and the massage surface is used to contact the massage area.

[0016] In one embodiment, the second housing is further provided with a plurality of connecting posts protruding from the first housing, and the second housing is provided with post holes corresponding to the connecting posts one by one, and the connecting posts extend from the post holes to fix the first housing and the second housing.

[0017] In one embodiment, the massage surface is provided with a plurality of sensors for detecting the pressure between the massage surface and the massage area. And / or, the massage surface has at least one curvature in the direction from the second housing to the first housing.

[0018] In one embodiment, the massage head includes a first massage portion connected to a massage arm and a second massage portion connected to the first massage portion, with the first and second massage portions spaced apart along the width direction of the massage arm. During the rotation of the rotating portion, the sliding limiting portion reciprocates, causing the first and second massage portions to alternately press on the massage area.

[0019] In one embodiment, the massage head further includes a third massage portion connected to the massage arm. The first massage portion and the second massage portion are respectively connected to the third massage portion and are disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the massage arm. Along the length direction of the massage arm, at least one of the first massage portion and the second massage portion is longer than the third massage portion, and the third massage portion is smoothly connected to the first massage portion and the second massage portion.

[0020] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a massage device is provided, including a drive assembly, a transmission assembly, and a massage component according to any of the above embodiments. The drive assembly includes a rotary motor. The transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor and a drive rod movably connected to the rotating shaft. The drive rod is inclined relative to the rotating shaft, and a rotating part is connected to the drive rod. During the rotation of the rotating shaft driven by the rotary motor, the drive rod drives the rotating part to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft, and the sliding limiting part reciprocates along the axis of the rotating shaft to drive the massage head to knead and massage the massage area.

[0021] In one embodiment, the massage device further includes a mounting assembly comprising a support member, a first mounting member movable along the support member, and a second mounting member connected to the support member and spaced apart from the first mounting member. The transmission assembly further includes a connecting member movably connected to the first mounting member, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the second mounting member, and a drive rod movably connected between the rotating shaft and the connecting member. A sliding limit portion is slidably connected to the first mounting member. During the rotation of the rotating shaft, the first mounting member also moves along the support member, causing the connecting member to reciprocate between the drive rod and the first mounting member to adjust the tilt angle between the drive rod and the rotating shaft, and also causing the sliding limit portion to reciprocate.

[0022] In one embodiment, two massage elements are provided, including a first massage element and a second massage element. The drive assembly includes a transmission mechanism that is driven through the output shaft of a rotary motor. The rotating shafts of the first massage element and the second massage element are respectively driven through the transmission mechanism, so that the rotary motor drives the rotating shafts of the first massage element and the second massage element to rotate, so that the first massage element and the second massage element massage on both sides of the massage area respectively.

[0023] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The massage component provided in this disclosure, when in use, has a rotating part that can be connected to a massage device, a mounting part that can be connected to a massage head, and a sliding limiting part that can be slidably connected to the massage device to limit the range of motion of the massage arm. After the massage head, massage arm, and sliding limiting part are connected to form the massage component, the rotating part can serve as a fulcrum, while the massage head and sliding limiting part are mounted on both sides of the rotating part, forming an approximate lever structure. Thus, when the massage arm drives the massage head to rotate, the massage head can perform kneading massage on the massage area. Simultaneously, the sliding limiting part can oscillate back and forth along the rotation axis of the rotating part to limit the rotation range of the massage arm and drive the massage arm to oscillate back and forth along the rotation axis of the rotating part, moving closer to or away from the massage area, thereby adjusting the massage intensity. Therefore, the massage component provided in this disclosure has a simple structure, and the massage head can have a complex motion trajectory to enrich the massage techniques and improve the massage effect.

[0025] When massage components are applied to a massage device, the device can be equipped with two massage components, one on the left and one on the right, to massage both sides of the massage area. A rotary motor can drive the two shafts of each massage component to rotate, thus applying kneading and pressing massage to the massage area.

[0026] Understandably, the massage head can massage any area that the user needs to massage, such as the neck, shoulders, back, waist, or legs, and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0027] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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.

[0040] 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.

[0041] Taking neck massage devices as an example, with people spending more and more time sitting at desks or looking down at their phones, neck discomfort is becoming increasingly common, leading to a growing market demand for neck massage devices. A neck massage device is specifically designed for the curve of the neck, using massage components to massage and relax the neck muscles, effectively relieving neck fatigue.

[0042] However, in related technologies, most neck massage devices' massage heads can only be adapted to a single massage technique. For example, some neck massage heads only achieve kneading of neck muscles through planar rotation, or only through pushing and pulling. Such massage techniques are relatively simple, and the massage pressure on the neck is rigid, resulting in a significant difference in effect compared to human hand massage. This makes traditional neck massage devices less than ideal for massaging the neck. Furthermore, adapting the massage head to a combination of multiple massage techniques would require a very complex structure, making it difficult to manufacture and costly.

[0043] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a massage component that can adapt to the complex massage trajectory movement of the massage area, enrich the massage techniques, improve the massage effect, and simplify the structure and reduce production costs.

[0044] The massage component 100 provided in this disclosure will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0045] 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 member 100 from another perspective. This disclosure provides a massage member 100, including a massage arm 110, a massage head 120, and a sliding limiting portion 130. The massage arm 110 includes a rotating portion 111 and a mounting portion 112 connected to the rotating portion 111. The length direction of the massage arm 110 points from the rotating portion 111 towards the mounting portion 112. The massage head 120 is connected to the mounting portion 112. The sliding limiting portion 130 is connected to the rotating portion 111. During the rotation of the rotating portion 111, the sliding limiting portion 130 also slides reciprocally along the rotation axis of the rotating portion 111, causing the massage head 120 to have a composite massage trajectory of rotation along the length direction of the massage arm 110 and oscillation along the rotation axis of the rotating portion 111.

[0046] It should be noted that the massage component 100, as part of the massage device for massaging the neck, can be independently configured for easy processing and assembly. The massage head 120 is used to contact any area of ​​the user's body requiring massage, such as the neck, shoulders, back, waist, or legs; this disclosure does not impose any limitations. The massage arm 110 is used to assemble and connect the massage head 120 to the massage device and transmit power to the massage head 120 to drive it to massage the target area. The sliding limit part 130 is used to limit and guide the massage arm 110 during its movement, thereby adjusting the movement trajectory of the massage arm 110 and enriching the massage techniques of the massage head 120.

[0047] Specifically, during the assembly of the massage component 100, the rotating part 111 can be connected to the massage device, the mounting part 112 can be connected to the massage head 120, and the sliding limiting part 130 can be slidably connected to the massage device to limit the range of motion of the massage arm 110. The massage arm 110 can extend along the direction shown in the figure (Y) to have a length along the direction shown in the figure (Y). After the massage head 120, massage arm 110, and sliding limiting part 130 are connected to form the massage component 100, the massage component 100 can use the rotating part 111 as a fulcrum, while the massage head 120 and sliding limiting part 130 are mounted on both sides of the rotating part 111, forming an approximate lever structure. Thus, when the massage arm 110 drives the massage head 120 to rotate, the massage head 120 can perform kneading massage on the massage area. For example, the massage head 120 can perform circular or non-circular motion along the direction shown by arrow a in the figure to knead the massage area. Simultaneously, the sliding limit part 130 can reciprocate along the rotation axis of the rotating part 111 to limit the rotation amplitude of the massage arm 110, and drive the massage arm 110 to reciprocate along the rotation axis of the rotating part, so that the massage head 120 also has a motion trajectory in the direction shown by arrow b in the figure, thereby enabling the massage head 120 to have a composite motion trajectory to enrich the massage techniques for the massage area. It is understood that the massage head 120 forms a circular motion or a non-circular motion in the direction shown by arrow b in the figure, and the rotating part 111 can perform eccentric rotation or central rotation, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0048] Thus, when in use, the massage component 100 provided by this disclosure can rotate the massage head 120 by rotating the rotating part 111 to knead and massage the massage area. The rotation amplitude of the massage head 120 can also be limited by the swinging of the sliding limiting part 130, giving the massage head 120 a swing trajectory to move closer to or further away from the massage area, thereby adjusting the massage intensity. Therefore, the massage component 100 provided by this disclosure has a simple structure, and the massage head 120 can have a complex motion trajectory to enrich the massage techniques and enhance the massage effect.

[0049] Furthermore, the massage component 100 provided in this disclosure can be applied to local massage devices (such as neck massage devices, shoulder massage devices, waist massage devices or back massage devices, etc.) or full-body massage devices, etc., and this disclosure does not impose any restrictions.

[0050] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , 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 member 100 from another perspective. In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the massage member 100, the rotating part 111 is provided with a connecting hole 113 along the thickness direction of the massage arm 110. The connecting hole 113 is used to connect the drive rod 320 to drive the rotating part 111 to rotate. The mounting part 112 and the sliding limiting part 130 are respectively connected to the rotating part 111 radially along the connecting hole 113, and the mounting part 112 and the sliding limiting part 130 are spaced apart from each other.

[0051] It should be noted that the connecting hole 113 is used to connect the drive rod 320, so that the massage arm 110 can be sleeved on the drive rod 320, and the massage arm 110 moves with the drive rod 320, thereby driving the massage head 120 to move. At the same time, in order to reduce the space occupied by the movement of the massage component 100 and improve the structural compactness of the massage component 100, the sliding limiting part 130 can be provided to protrude from the rotating part 111 in the direction from the mounting part 112 to the rotating part 111, so that the mounting part 112, the rotating part 111 and the sliding limiting part 130 are connected sequentially along the length direction of the massage arm 110.

[0052] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , 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 massage member 100 shown is illustrated in a structural schematic diagram from another perspective. In some embodiments, the sliding limiting portion 130 includes a swing portion 131 connected to the rotating portion 111 and a sliding portion 132 connected to the swing portion 131. During the rotation of the rotating portion 111, the swing portion 131 drives the sliding portion 132 to slide back and forth along the rotation axis of the rotating portion 111. The sliding portion 132 is used to slide and connect with an external mounting member to limit the rotation amplitude of the massage head 120 about the rotation axis of the rotating portion 111 and / or the swing amplitude along the rotation axis of the rotating portion 111.

[0053] It should be noted that the sliding part 132 is used to connect external mounting parts. To facilitate smooth sliding of the sliding part 132, the sliding part 132 may have an arc-shaped structure, such as a spherical or elliptical shape, etc., which is not limited in this disclosure. The swing part 131 is used to connect the sliding part 132 and the rotating part 111. On the basis of meeting the connection strength requirements, the swing part 131 may be set as a rod to save installation space and avoid sliding interference.

[0054] As an example, the swinging part 131 is fixedly connected to the rotating part 111 and the sliding part 132 respectively. During the rotation of the rotating part 111, the swinging part 131 reciprocates along the rotation axis of the rotating part 111, so that the sliding part 132 reciprocates obliquely relative to the rotation axis of the rotating part 111. When the sliding part 132 slides obliquely, the massage head 120 can be driven to swing obliquely by the massage arm 110 to move closer to or away from the neck, thereby adjusting the massage intensity on the neck.

[0055] In some embodiments, to facilitate the reciprocating kneading of the massage head 120 on the massage area, the axis of the connecting hole 113 is inclined or eccentrically arranged relative to the rotation axis of the rotating part 111, so that the massage head 120 reciprocates on the massage area along the length direction of the massage arm 110. Thus, when the rotating part 111 rotates, the rotation axis of the massage head 120 can be spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating part 111 along the length direction of the massage arm 110, causing the massage head 120 to form a circular motion to reciprocate on the massage area, thereby improving the massage effect that simulates human hand kneading.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, to facilitate the movement of the massage arm 110 by the drive rod 320, the rotating part 111 is also provided with a groove 115 that communicates with and is coaxially arranged with the connecting hole 113. The groove 115 is used to install a limiting member adapted to the drive rod 320. As an example, when the drive rod 320 rotates eccentrically, the massage arm 110 can be rotatably connected to the drive rod 320. The groove 115 can be used to install a bearing to avoid motion interference of the massage arm 110. At the same time, the groove 115 can axially position the bearing. In addition, the groove 115 can also be used to install other limiting members, which is not limited in this disclosure.

[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the massage arm 110 is provided with a limiting groove 114 extending along the length direction of the massage arm 110. The limiting groove 114 is used to slide with the massage housing or shoulder massage component to limit the kneading trajectory of the massage head 120.

[0058] It should be noted that when the massage component 100 is assembled with the shoulder massage component, the shoulder massage component may be provided with a slider that is slidably connected to the limiting groove 114, so that the massage component 100 and the shoulder massage component have relative movement, thereby realizing the kneading action on the massage area. When the massage component 100 is assembled with the massage housing, the massage housing may be provided with a slider that is slidably connected to the limiting groove 114, so as to limit the range of motion of the massage component 100. This disclosure will not elaborate on this aspect.

[0059] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, to facilitate maintenance and replacement of the massage head 120, the massage head 120 includes a first housing 121 connected to the massage arm 110 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 the massage surface is used to contact the neck.

[0060] It should be noted that the side of the massage head 120 that contacts the neck is 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.

[0061] In addition, to fit the neck design, the massage surface has at least one curvature in the direction from the second housing 122 to the first housing 121.

[0062] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the first housing 121 and the second housing 122, the second housing 122 is further provided with a plurality of connecting posts 124 protruding from the first housing 121. The second housing 122 is provided with post holes 123 corresponding to the connecting posts 124. The connecting posts 124 extend out from the post holes 123 to fix the first housing 121 and the second housing 122.

[0063] In some embodiments, to facilitate the detection of massage pressure on the neck, the massage surface is provided with several sensors (not shown in the figures) for detecting the pressure between the massage surface and the neck. Understandably, the sensors may be configured as pressure sensors, which will not be elaborated upon in this disclosure.

[0064] Furthermore, the terminals or other electrical connection structures of the pressure sensor can be integrated into the receiving cavity between the first housing 121 and the second housing 122, or integrated into the connecting post 124, without limitation by this disclosure.

[0065] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, to further enrich the massage techniques, the massage head 120 includes a first massage portion 125 connected to the massage arm 110 and a second massage portion 126 connected to the first massage portion 125, with the first massage portion 125 and the second massage portion 126 spaced apart along the width direction of the massage arm 110. During the rotation of the rotating portion 111, the sliding limiting portion 130 reciprocates, causing the first massage portion 125 and the second massage portion 126 to alternately press on the neck.

[0066] It should be noted that the width of the massage arm 110 can be set along the Z direction shown in the figure, and the length of the massage arm 110 can be set along the Y direction shown in the figure. The first massage part 125 and the second massage part 126 can be arranged along the Z direction. During the movement of the massage arm 110 with the drive rod 320, when the first massage part 125 moves towards the neck to compress the neck, the second massage part 126 can move away from the neck. When the first massage part 125 moves away from the neck, the second massage part 126 can move towards the neck to compress the neck. In this way, by using the alternating reciprocating movement of the first massage part 125 and the second massage part 126, the neck can be flexibly kneaded and massaged, avoiding a stiff massage technique. For example, the first massage part 125 can knead and massage the part of the neck near the head, and the second massage part 126 can knead and massage the part of the neck near the shoulders. Moreover, the two massage parts can alternate between light and heavy massage, which can simulate the human hand massage method and improve the massage effect.

[0067] In some embodiments, to fully conform to the massage area, the massage head 120 further includes a third massage portion 127 connected to the massage arm 110. The first massage portion 125 and the second massage portion 126 are respectively connected to the third massage portion 127 and are disposed opposite to each other along the width direction of the massage arm 110. Along the length direction of the massage arm 110, at least one of the first massage portion 125 and the second massage portion 126 is longer than the length of the third massage portion 127, and the third massage portion 127 is smoothly connected to the first massage portion 125 and the second massage portion 126.

[0068] It should be noted that the first massage section 125, the second massage section 126, and the third massage section 127 can be designed according to the curve of the neck to fully conform to the neck and massage various acupoints on the neck to relieve muscle fatigue. At the same time, the smooth connection between the massage sections can also improve the aesthetics of the device and the wearing comfort.

[0069] In addition to the aforementioned massage element, this disclosure also provides a massage device 10 as an example of applying the massage element to neck massage. The massage device 10 provided in this disclosure will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0070] See Figure 3 , Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage device 10 according to one embodiment. This disclosure provides a massage device 10, including a drive assembly 200, a transmission assembly 300, and a massage component 100 from any of the above embodiments. The drive assembly 200 includes a rotary motor 210. The transmission assembly 300 includes a rotating shaft 310 connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor 210 and a drive rod 320 movably connected to the rotating shaft 310. The drive rod 320 is inclined relative to the rotating shaft 310, and a rotating part 111 is connected to the drive rod 320. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 310 driven by the rotary motor 210, the drive rod 320 drives the rotating part 111 to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 310, and the sliding limiting part 130 reciprocates along the axis of the rotating shaft 310 to drive the massage head 120 to perform a kneading massage on the neck.

[0071] It should be noted that when the massage device 10 is in use, the drive motor drives the rotating shaft 310 to rotate, the rotating shaft 310 drives the drive rod 320 to rotate, and the drive rod 320 drives the massage arm 110 to move, thereby driving the massage head 120 to knead the neck. At the same time, the sliding limit part 130 swings back and forth along the axis of the rotating shaft 310 to adjust the massage pressure of the massage head 120 on the neck, and to make the massage head 120 form a compound motion trajectory for massaging the neck, so as to enrich the massage techniques.

[0072] Accordingly, the massage device 10 may have two massage elements 100, including a first massage element and a second massage element. The first massage element and the second massage element can be worn on both sides of the neck of the human body, respectively. When the massage device 10 is in use, the rotary motor 210 can drive the rotating shaft 310 of the first massage element 100 and the rotating shaft of the second massage element 100 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 220, so that the first massage element 100 and the second massage element 100 massage the neck on both sides of the human body, respectively. It is understood that the transmission mechanism 220 includes a gear mechanism, a worm gear mechanism, or a belt drive mechanism 220, etc., and this disclosure does not impose any limitations.

[0073] See Figures 4 to 6 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the massage component 100 with the transmission component 300 and the mounting component 400 according to one embodiment. Figure 5 for Figure 4 The structure shown is a cross-sectional view along AA. Figure 6 for Figure 5The diagram shows a structure in which the massage element is in another massage position. In some embodiments, to facilitate the sliding limiting part 130 to swing along the axis of the rotating shaft 310, the massage device 10 further includes a mounting assembly 400. The mounting assembly 400 includes a support member 410, a first mounting member 420 that moves along the support member 410, and a second mounting member 430 connected to the support member 410 and spaced apart from the first mounting member 420. The transmission assembly 300 further includes a connecting member 330 movably connected to the first mounting member 420. The rotating shaft 310 is rotatably disposed on the second mounting member 430, and the drive rod 320 is movably connected between the rotating shaft 310 and the connecting member 330. The sliding limiting part 130 is slidably connected to the first mounting member 420. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 310, the first mounting member 420 also moves along the support member 410, causing the connecting member 330 to swing back and forth between the drive rod 320 and the first mounting member 420, so as to adjust the tilt angle between the drive rod 320 and the rotating shaft 310, and drive the sliding limit part 130 to swing back and forth.

[0074] It should be noted that the rotation axis 311 of the rotating shaft 310 is set along the dotted line in the figure. The first mounting member 420 may be provided with a sliding groove 421, and the sliding limiting part 130 can be inserted into the sliding groove 421 to slide and connect with the first mounting member 420. During the movement of the massage arm 110 with the drive rod 320, the first mounting member 420 can slide along the support member 410, so that the distance between the first mounting member 420 and the second mounting member 430 changes. In this way, the approximately hinge structure formed by the rotating shaft 310, the drive rod 320 and the connecting member 330 can be extended or retracted in the X direction to achieve a change in length, thereby changing the tilt angle of the drive rod 320 relative to the rotating shaft 310. During the swinging process of the drive rod 320 relative to the rotating shaft 310, the sliding limiting part 130 of the massage member 100 slides back and forth in the sliding groove 421 to adjust the massage head 120 to move closer to or further away from the neck and adjust the massage intensity. Simultaneously, the sliding limit part 130 also converts the rotation of the massage member 100 into movement along the slide groove 421, and can also limit the range of motion of the massage head 120 for kneading and massaging the neck. Understandably, the relative movement of the first mounting member 420 and the second mounting member 430 can be driven by threads, hydraulic pressure or pneumatic pressure, and this disclosure does not limit it.

[0075] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the relative distance between the first massage member 100 and the second massage member 100 of the massage device 10 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 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.
