Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage technology, and in particular to a vibration component and a massager. Background Technology
[0002] With societal development and improved living standards, people have increasingly higher demands for the tactile experience of massage. Therefore, to meet these demands, the use of flexible, long, strip-shaped massage components has been proposed. However, when using a massager, frequent movement of the massage component is required to massage different areas of the body. Due to the elasticity of the massage component, it undergoes deformation when pressed against the body during massage, potentially causing it to compress the vibrating component. If the vibrating component's structure is not properly designed, it may stop working due to this compression. Therefore, the elasticity of the massage component limits the selection of vibrating components, hindering designers' flexibility in choosing the right ones.

[0053] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0056] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
[0057] This utility model mainly proposes a massager, which has many improvements over existing massagers, such as the specific form of the vibration component 300, the specific installation of the vibration component 300, and the specific form of the massage element 200, etc. For detailed descriptions, please refer to the embodiments below. A key inventive point of this application is that the massage element 200 (the part acting on the human body) of the massager is made elastic. During the massage, the massage element 200 can transmit vibrations both along its length and radially (it is worth noting that radial in this application is a broad radial, referring to the extension direction of the cross-section, and does not limit the overall shape of the massage element 200 to a circle, ellipse, etc.; in some embodiments, it can be the width direction, height direction, etc.) to the user's body surface, so that the user's body surface in contact with the massage body 20 can simultaneously receive effective vibration massage. Thus, when used for human massage, the massager can form a long, continuous massage surface on the body, allowing the entire long, continuous area on the body surface to receive vibration massage simultaneously. This enhances the user's experience while ensuring even massage across the continuous area, thereby improving the massage effect. The massager in this application is typically used by hand, but users can use it in different ways depending on their needs.
[0058] The following will mainly describe the specific structure of the massager.
[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 18 In this embodiment of the utility model, the massager includes:
[0060] Vibration assembly 300, the vibration assembly 300 being used to generate vibration;
[0061] The massage body 20, on which the vibration component 300 is mounted, is a non-invasive massager. The massage body 20 is used to transmit vibrations to the user's body surface. The massage body 20 is elastic, allowing it to elastically deform along the contour of the user's body surface during operation. Furthermore, the massage body 20 transmits the vibrations emitted by the vibration component 300 along its length and radial direction to the user's body surface, enabling the surface of the massage body 20 to simultaneously transmit vibrations to different planes of the user's body surface.
[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, the vibration component 300 is used to generate vibration, and it can take many forms. For example, in some embodiments, it can include a rotating shaft motor and an eccentric structure, with the eccentric structure mounted on the rotating shaft to output vibration; in other embodiments, it can include a linear motor and a vibration block, with the vibration block mounted on the output shaft of the linear motor, etc. There are no special limitations here, as long as it can generate vibration of a high intensity.
[0063] The massage body 20 is a flexible massage body, possessing elasticity and a certain degree of rigidity. It can deform along the user's body surface and effectively transmit vibrations. The massage body 20 can have various shapes, such as a long strip or a ring. It is worth noting that both the long strip and ring-shaped massage body 20 can be held in the hand. In some embodiments, the area to be massaged can also be pressed against the massage body 20. It is also worth noting that due to its flexibility and elasticity, the massage body 20 can be bent into various shapes during use, such as X-shaped, elliptical, or disc-shaped. It should be understood that any shape that the massage body 20 can be deformed into, whether long strip or ring-shaped, falls under the category of the massage body 20 mentioned in this application. The long strip shape can be a single strip, a double strip (two strips arranged parallel to each other), or even multiple strips; no special limitation is made here. For ease of explanation, the following embodiments use a single long strip as an example.
[0064] In some embodiments, the elongated shape and the ring shape of the massage body 20 can be switched. Specifically, the massage body 20 has an overall elongated shape, one end of the massage body 20 has a first connecting structure, and the other end has a second connecting structure. The first connecting structure and the second connecting structure can be detached and connected so that the massage body 20 can switch between an elongated shape and a ring shape.
[0065] There are many ways to connect the first and second connecting structures, such as by snap-fit, magnetic adsorption, threaded connection, fasteners such as screws, adhesive connections such as Velcro, and plug-in connections, etc. No specific limitations are made here. When the massage body 20 is in a ring-shaped state, it can be worn on the body according to the user's needs, such as wearing it diagonally across the shoulder like a shoulder bag. When it is in a long strip state, the user can hold both ends of the massage body 20. When the massage body 20 is close to the body surface, it can elastically deform along the surface, allowing the massage body 20 to fit against the body surface over a large area. In this way, the vibration generated by the vibration component 300 is transmitted along the length and radial direction of the massage body 20 to the contact surface between the massage body 20 and the body.
[0066] In this embodiment, by making the massage body 20 elastic, the massage body 20 can elastically deform along the contour of the user's body surface during operation. This allows the outer surface of the massage body 20 to fit in close contact with the human body surface over a large area. Simultaneously, the vibration emitted by the vibration component 300 can be transmitted along the length of the massage body 20 and radially to the user's body surface. Furthermore, because the skin of the human body is soft, it undergoes elastic deformation upon contact with the massage body 20, resulting in a large area of the human body surface being covered by the massage body 20. This allows the massager to apply pressure to a continuous, large-area contour surface on the human body, enabling simultaneous massage of a large area of the human body's contour. This significantly improves the uniformity of the massage, thereby greatly enhancing the sensation and efficiency of the massage.
[0067] There are many ways to use a massager; we will mainly explain the use of holding it as an example below.
[0068] There are many possible positions for holding the massager. For example, in some embodiments, it can be held at both ends of the massager; in some embodiments, it can be held in the middle of the massage body 20 near both ends; and in some embodiments, it can be held in the middle of the massager. It is worth noting that the position being held can be called the grip part, which can be a separate component or an integral part with other components.
[0069] The following description uses the example of the grips being located at both ends of the massage body 20. The massager is a handheld massager. The massage body 20 includes a massage part 160 and a first grip part 110 and a second grip part 120 connected to both ends of the massage part 160, so that the user's hands can hold the first grip part 110 and the second grip part 120 respectively for use.
[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the user uses the massager, both hands hold the first grip portion 110 and the second grip portion 120 respectively, and the massage portion 160 is attached to the surface of the human body. The massage portion 160 will elastically deform along the contour of the human body surface, thereby allowing the massage portion 160 to adhere to the human body surface along the contour of the human body surface. There are many possible relationships between the first grip portion, the second grip portion, and the massage portion 160; examples are given below for illustration.
[0071] In some embodiments, the first grip portion 110 is integrally disposed with the massage portion 160, and / or the second grip portion 120 is integrally disposed with the massage portion 160. Wherein, the first grip portion 110 and / or the second grip portion 120 are integrally formed with the massage portion 160, that is, the massage portion 160 and the first grip portion 110 and / or the second grip portion 120 are a single component made of the same material. Of course, in some embodiments, all three can also be integrally injection molded (e.g., the rigid first grip portion 110 and the second grip portion 120 are molded together with the soft massage portion 160), in which case the materials of the three components can be different.
[0072] In some embodiments, the massage portion 160 includes a massage element 200, the first grip portion 110 includes a first grip 130, and / or the second grip portion 120 includes a second grip 150. The first grip 130 is fixedly connected to one end of the massage element 200, and the second grip 150 is fixedly connected to the other end of the massage element 200. The first grip 130 and / or the second grip 150, and the massage element 200 are different components, and the first grip 130 and the second grip 150 are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the massage element 200. There are many ways to fix the connection, such as by snap-fit connection, by tie-locking connection, by threaded connection, by fasteners such as screws, by plug-in fitting, etc., and no special limitation is made here. Taking a case where the first grip 130 and the second grip 150 are rigid components, and the massage component 200 is a soft component, the massage component 200 can be locked to the ends of the first grip 130 and the second grip using a high-strength strap (which can be made of flexible plastic or metal). Simultaneously, the rigidity of the first grip 130 and the second grip 150 facilitates proper gripping by the user, preventing deformation and instability due to excessive force. Furthermore, anti-slip structures, such as anti-slip textures, can be provided on the outer surfaces of the first grip 130 and the second grip 150, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the user's grip.
[0073] There are many possible structural forms for the massage body 20. The following example illustrates this: when the first grip 110 and / or the second grip 120 are integrally formed from the same material as the massage part 160, the structure and performance of the first grip 110 and / or the second grip 120 are the same as those of the massage part 160. In this case, the structure and performance of the massage part 160 can be the same as those of the massage component 200 in the following embodiments. When the first grip 130 and / or the second grip 150, and the massage component 200 are different components, the structure and performance of the massage component 200 will be described first, followed by the structure and performance of the first grip 130 and the second grip 150.
[0074] Regarding the structure and performance of the massage component 200, we will first introduce the overall performance, and then introduce structural examples that meet the performance requirements.
[0075] To ensure efficient transmission of vibration along the length and radial direction of the massage body 20, the elastic modulus E of the massage body 20 (massage component 200) is set to be greater than or equal to 1 GPa (1*10⁻⁶). 9 The elastic modulus E of the massage component 200 can be 2-160 GPa, 3-150 GPa, 4-140 GPa, 5-130 GPa, 6-120 GPa, 8-100 GPa, 9-90 GPa, 11-80 GPa, 12-70 GPa, etc., and of course, it can also be 15 GPa, 25 GPa, 35 GPa, 45 GPa, 55 GPa, 65 GPa, 75 GPa, 85 GPa, etc.
[0076] There are many structures that can satisfy the above-mentioned mechanical parameters of the massage component 200. For example, it can be a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) component, or a soft component with a rigid component containing high stiffness. To better satisfy the elastic deformation performance of the massage component 200 (so that the massage component 200 can better deform elastically along the contour of the human body), the massage component 200 is taken as including a soft substrate and a rigid component disposed within the soft substrate. The cross-sectional shape of the massage component 200 can be many, such as triangular, circular, elliptical, rectangular, annular, and irregular shapes, etc., without special limitations. In some embodiments, to reduce the weight of the massage component 200 while ensuring the vibration transmission performance of the massage component 200 and matching appropriate dimensional parameters, the cross-sectional shape of the massage component 200 is taken as an annular shape. In this case, the massage component 200 is tubular. In this case, the massage component 200 includes a tube body and a rigid component disposed within the tube body. The rigid component extends along the length direction of the tube body to improve the stiffness of the massage component 200. The elastic modulus of the rigid component is greater than that of the soft matrix. The rigid component can take many forms, such as metal wire (e.g., aluminum wire, steel wire, titanium alloy wire, etc.); the soft matrix can also take many forms, such as PVC plastic, soft rubber materials, etc. The rigid component can be arranged in many ways within the soft matrix. For example, in some embodiments, the rigid component is elongated, extending along the length of the soft matrix, and there can be multiple rigid components, all extending along the length of the soft matrix. In some embodiments, the rigid component can be helical, also extending along the length of the soft matrix. In some embodiments, the rigid component can be a rigid elastic component, meaning that the rigid component can increase both the stiffness and elastic recovery capability of the soft matrix, such as a helically arranged steel wire or a spring.
[0077] Taking a specific example of a massage component 200, with the metal wire extending in a spiral shape along the length of the tube body, the massage component 200 possesses both sufficient rigidity and sufficient elastic deformation capability. Regarding the volume relationship between the soft matrix and the hard component, the hard component can account for 5%-35% of the volume of the massage component 200. The elastic modulus of the hard component can range from 40 to 410 GPa, for example, 40–50 GPa, 65–75 GPa, 100–120 GPa, 190–210 GPa, etc., without special limitation here; 190–210 GPa is used as an example.
[0078] In some embodiments, the massage body 20 further includes an electrical control component for supplying electrical energy to the vibration component 300 and / or for controlling the vibration component 300, the electrical control component being electrically connected to the vibration component 300. The number of the electrical control component and the vibration component 300 can be set according to actual conditions. For example, in some embodiments, there is one electrical control component and one vibration component 300, with the electrical control component controlling one vibration component 300; in some embodiments, there can be two or more vibration components 300, with one electrical control component simultaneously controlling two or more vibration components 300; in some embodiments, there are two electrical control components and two vibration components 300, with each electrical control component corresponding to one vibration component 300, making the control and power supply of the two vibration components 300 independent. No special limitations are made here, and the settings can be configured according to actual working conditions and needs.
[0079] The massager will be described below with the massage component 200 having a tubular overall shape as an example.
[0080] A massager, the massager comprising:
[0081] The massage element 200 is tubularly arranged so that it has a communicating channel 250; at least a portion of the massage element 200 is elastic so that it can elastically deform along the contour of the user's body during massage.
[0082] Vibration component 300 is fixedly connected to the tube body of massage component 200. Vibration component 300 is used to generate vibration, and the generated vibration is transmitted along the radial and longitudinal directions of massage component 200 so that the surface of massage component 200 can transmit vibration to the user's body surface.
[0083] An electrical control component and an electrical connector 680 are provided, the electrical connector 680 being used to electrically connect the electrical control component and the vibration component 300, at least a portion of the electrical connector 680 being located within the conduit 250, and / or at least a portion of the vibration component 300 being installed within the conduit 250. The length of the electrical connector 680 is greater than the distance between the electrical control component and the vibration component 300.
[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment, the massage element 200 has a tubular overall shape, giving it an internally connected conduit 250 that extends along its length. Regarding the structure of the conduit 250, the outer diameter of the massage element 200 is greater than or equal to four times its wall thickness. The wall thickness of the conduit 250 is 1-5mm, and can be 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, etc. The outer diameter is 20-70mm, and can be 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, etc.
[0085] The vibration component 300 is used to generate vibration and transmit the vibration to the massage element 200. There are many ways to connect the vibration component 300 and the massage element 200; in this embodiment, the vibration component 300 is used in conjunction with the pipe 250. For example, in some embodiments, at least a portion of the vibration component 300 is installed inside the pipe 250; it is understood that the vibration component 300 can be entirely located inside the pipe 250. In some embodiments, one end of the vibration component 300 is inserted into the pipe 250 or sleeved on the outside of the pipe 250. In some embodiments, one end of the vibration component 300 has a groove, with the inner wall of the groove located inside the pipe 250 and the outer wall of the groove located outside the pipe 250. Thus, in some embodiments, the pipe 250 can protect the vibration component 300, reducing or preventing dust, water, insects, etc., from the external environment from affecting the operation of the vibration component 300, thereby improving the stability of the vibration component 300's operation. In some embodiments, the pipe 250 facilitates the installation of the vibration component 300, improving the ease of installation.
[0086] The electronic control component can provide electrical energy to the vibration component 300 or send control signals to the electronic control component; in some embodiments, it can also simultaneously provide electrical energy to the vibration component 300 and send control signals. The electronic control component can take many forms. In some embodiments, it may include an electronic control board; in others, it may include a power supply 630 and a main control board 620, etc. The following description uses an electronic control component including a power supply 630 and an electronic control board as an example. Specifically, the electronic control component includes a power supply 630 and a main control board 620, which are electrically connected. The power supply 630 includes a battery and / or a power interface, which is used for electrical connection to an external power supply 630. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the power supply 630 can be a battery or a power interface for external electrical connection; that is, the massager can be powered by its own battery or by an external power supply 630. The electrical connector 680 used to electrically connect the control component and the vibration component 300 can take many forms, such as a wire or a flexible circuit board. One end of the electrical connector 680 is connected to the vibration component 300, and the other end extends into the control component within the conduit 250, allowing at least a portion of the electrical connector 680 to pass through the conduit 250. This protects the electrical connector 680 from dust, insects, water, and other external environmental factors that could affect its operation. It also prevents the electrical connector 680 from being squeezed or touched during massager operation, significantly improving the electrical connection stability between the vibration component 300 and the control component, thereby enhancing the massager's operational stability. Furthermore, the electrical connector 680 can pass directly through the conduit 250 without requiring additional wiring paths, simplifying the structure and improving the massager's assembly efficiency.
[0087] In this embodiment, by setting the massage component 200 in a tubular shape, the massage component 200 has a conduit 250. In some embodiments, the conduit 250 can be used to install the vibration component 300, which improves the ease of installation of the vibration component 300 and also provides a certain degree of protection for the vibration component 300. In some embodiments, the conduit 250 can be used for the electrical connector 680 that connects the vibration component 300 and the electrical control component, thereby protecting the electrical connector 680 and improving the stability of the electrical connection between the vibration component 300 and the electrical control component. At the same time, there is no need to set an additional wiring channel for the electrical connector 680. The conduit 250 is cleverly utilized, simplifying the structure of the massager and improving the assembly efficiency of the massager. In addition, by setting the massage component in a tubular shape, the weight of the massager is greatly reduced. When the user holds the massager, the force applied by the user can be greatly reduced, making it easier for the user to use the massager.
[0088] It is worth noting that when the massage component 200 is a non-tubular structure, other types of wiring channels can also be provided on the massage component 200, such as wiring grooves 311, wiring holes, etc. Specifically, the electronic control component can be installed at the end of the massage body 20, and the vibration component 300 can be located in the middle of the massage body 20. The massage body 20 has wiring channels, and the electrical connector 680 that electrically connects the electronic control component and the vibration component 300 passes through the wiring channels. The wiring channels can be on the surface of the massage component 200 or contained within the massage component 200. In this way, when the massage component 200 is a non-tubular structure, the electrical connector 680 can also be effectively protected.
[0089] In the case where the massage component 200 includes the pipe 250, regarding the specific structure of the massage component 200, the massage component 200 includes a pipe body and a rigid component disposed within the pipe body. The rigid component extends along the length direction of the pipe body to improve the rigidity of the massage component 200. The rigid component can be disposed outside the pipe body or inside the pipe. In some embodiments, to improve the installation stability of the rigid component, it can be embedded in the pipe body. There are many ways to embed it; for example, the rigid component and the pipe body are formed by secondary injection molding. In some embodiments, to improve both the rigidity and elasticity of the massage component 200, the rigid component can also be elastic. The elasticity of the rigid component can be due to its shape and structure, or it can be due to the elasticity of the material itself. Specifically, elasticity can be due to its shape, such as metal wire, metal strip, or metal sheet; elasticity can be due to its structure, such as having elastic gaps or a spiral structure; or elasticity can be due to the material itself, such as spring steel, stainless steel, or carbon steel. In some embodiments, the rigid member is a spirally extended metal wire, or the rigid member extends spirally along the side of the tube body.
[0090] The electronic control components can be installed in various locations on the massage element 200. Specifically, depending on the specific structure of the electronic control components, taking the power supply 630 and main control board 620 as an example, they can be installed adjacent to each other or separately. When installed adjacently, they can both be located at the same end of the massage element 200 or both in the middle of the massage element 200. When installed separately, they can be located at opposite ends of the massage element 200, or one can be located at one end of the massage element 200 and the other in the middle. It is worth noting that the relationship between the electronic control components and the massage element 200 is a positional relationship, not a connection relationship. That is, the electronic control components are not necessarily installed inside the pipe 250 of the massage element 200; they can also be installed on components connected to the massage element 200, such as the grip structure located at the end of the massage element 200.
[0091] The following is a specific example: the power supply 630 and / or the main control board 620 are located at one end of the massage element 200, the vibration component 300 is located in the middle of the massage element 200, one end of the electrical connector 680 is used for electrical connection with the power supply 630 and / or the main control board 620, and the other end extends along the pipe 250 to the vibration component 300 and is electrically connected thereto. The power supply 630 and the main control board 620 can be located at the same end of the massage element 200, or they can be located at opposite ends of the massage element 200. In some embodiments, to simplify the circuit structure, the power supply 630 and the main control board 620 are arranged adjacently and located at the same end of the massage element 200. In this case, there is a certain distance between the electrical control component and the vibration component 300, and their positions are connected to the pipe 250. One end of the electrical connector 680 is electrically connected to the electrical control component, and the other end extends within the pipe 250 to the vibration component 300 and is electrically connected thereto. The electrical connector 680 includes a first connector and a second connector. The power supply 630 and the vibration assembly 300 are electrically connected to the main control board 620 through the first connector and the second connector, respectively. This design allows most of the electrical connector 680 to be housed within the conduit 250, effectively protecting it. Furthermore, installation of the electrical connector 680 is simple; it is merely passed through the conduit 250, significantly improving the ease of installation.
[0092] The vibration assembly 300 can take many forms, and the following example illustrates this. The vibration assembly 300 includes a housing 310 and a vibration source 350 disposed within the housing 310. The housing 310 has a wiring groove 311 communicating with the interior of the housing 310. The wiring groove 311 communicates with the pipe 250. The end of the electrical connector 680 furthest from the electrical control assembly is electrically connected to the vibration source 350 via the pipe 250 and the wiring groove 311. In this embodiment, the housing 310 is connected to the massage element 200, the vibration source 350 is located inside the housing 310, the wiring groove 311 extends along the outer wall of the housing 310 and communicates with the interior of the housing 310, and when the electrical connector 680 is electrically connected to the vibration source 350 through the wiring groove 311, the electrical connector 680 does not enter the interior of the housing 310 from the end of the housing 310, but rather extends to the middle of the housing 310 before entering and electrically connecting to the vibration source 350. In this way, the electrical connector 680 can be positioned appropriately to enter the housing 310, isolating the electrical connector 680 from the moving parts of the vibration source 350, such as the eccentric block 353, thus preventing mutual interference between the electrical connector 680 and the moving parts of the vibration source 350. The housing 310 is made of a rigid material, such as rigid plastic; in this embodiment, a rigid metal housing 310 is used as an example.
[0093] In some embodiments, to prevent the electronic control component from moving and vibrating at high frequencies with the elastic massage element 200, the massager further includes a handle fixedly connected to the massage element 200. The handle is hollow, and the electronic control component is mounted on the handle. Specifically, the handle in this embodiment corresponds to the grip mentioned in the previous embodiments, and is used for the user to hold. During the use of the massager, the massage element 200 receives and transmits the vibration emitted by the vibration component 300, while the handle is held in the user's hand. The vibration frequency and amplitude of the massage element 200 during operation are much higher than those of the handle, allowing the electronic control component to be stably located in the handle, avoiding large amplitude and high frequency vibrations of the electronic control component, thereby improving the stability of the electronic control component's operation.
[0094] More specifically, in some embodiments, the electronic control assembly includes a power supply 630 and / or a main control board 620, and the handle includes a first grip 130 and a second grip 150, the first grip 130 and the second grip 150 being fixedly connected to both ends of the massage member 200, respectively. The power supply 630 and the main control board 620 are mounted on the first grip 130; or, the power supply 630 is mounted on the first grip 130, and the main control board 620 is mounted on the second grip 150. In this embodiment, the power supply 630 and the main control board 620 can be mounted within the same grip, such as within the first grip 130 or the second grip 150, or they can be mounted separately in the first grip 130 and the second grip 150. The above describes one set of electronic control components. In some embodiments, if there are two sets of electronic control components, one set of electronic control components can be installed in the first grip 130 and the second set of electronic control components can be installed in the second grip 150. The two sets of electronic control components can independently control different vibration components 300, or the two sets of electronic control components can be electrically connected to simultaneously control one or more vibration components 300.
[0095] It is worth noting that the massager is a non-invasive massager. The massage element 200 is used to transmit vibrations to the user's body surface, meaning that the massage element 200 will not enter the mouth, nose, or other areas of the body to operate. The massage element 200 is elastic, allowing it to elastically deform along the contours of the user's body surface during massage. The massager includes a first grip 130 and a second grip 150, which are fixedly connected to both ends of the massage element 200. In this embodiment, the massager is a handheld massager.
[0096] In some embodiments, to protect the massage element 200, the massager further includes a flexible protective sleeve 10, which is fitted over the massage element 200. The protective sleeve 10 can take many forms, such as being cylindrical and directly fitted over the outer surface of the massage element 200; or it can be sheet-like, wrapping around the massage element 200 during use, in which case the sleeve is cylindrical. The protective sleeve 10 can be made of various materials, such as cotton or wool fabrics, or industrial fibers. By providing the protective sleeve 10, the massage element 200 is prevented from direct contact with dust, water, insects, and corrosive substances in the external environment, significantly extending its lifespan. In some embodiments, because the protective sleeve 10 is flexible, the vibrations transmitted from the massage element 200 to the user are smoother, improving the user experience.
[0097] There are many possible specific connection and positional relationships between the vibration component 300 and the massage body 20. Examples are given below.
[0098] The number of vibration components 300 can be one, two, three, or more, without any particular limitation. The number can be selected based on actual working conditions; in this embodiment, two vibration components are used. The vibration components 300 can be installed in various positions on the massage body 20, such as at the end, middle, or between the end and middle. No particular limitation is made here; for example, the vibration components 300 are spaced apart along the length of the massage body 20. The distance between adjacent vibration components 300 can be approximately equal, meaning the vibration components 300 can be arranged approximately evenly on the massage body 20. When there are two vibration components 300, they are spaced apart along the length of the massage body 20, roughly dividing the massage body 20 into three roughly equal parts. Of course, in some embodiments, to improve vibration sensation and better match the body's contours, the distance between two vibration components 300 is less than the distance between the vibration component 300 and the end of the massage body 20. The sum of the distances between the two vibrating components 300 and the distance between them is 15cm-40cm. In this configuration, the two vibrating components 300 and the massage element 200 between them can effectively cover the back, abdomen, chest, and shoulders of the body. Thus, during use, the massager can provide a relatively strong vibration to a wider area of the body. The vibrating components 300 can be installed on the outside or inside the massage body 20. In some embodiments, they can be partially inside and partially outside the massage body 20. No specific limitations are made here, as long as the vibrating components 300 can transmit their vibrations to the massage element 200.
[0099] There are many ways to install the vibration component 300 on the massage body 20, such as by snap-fit connection, fastener connection such as screws, adhesive fixation connection, binding and locking fixation such as cable ties, etc. In some embodiments, the vibration component 300 can also be fixed to the massage body 20 by other connection structures. There are no special limitations here, as long as the vibration component 300 can transmit the vibration it generates to the massage body 20 after it is fixedly connected to the massage body 20.
[0100] Regarding the specific installation of the vibration component 300 on the massage body 20, two examples are given below. One example is that a portion of the vibration component 300 is connected to the massage body 20, while a portion is exposed outside the massage body 20. The other example is that the vibration component 300 is completely installed inside the massage body 20. It is worth noting that, since the massage body 20 includes the massage element 200, in the following embodiments, the massage body 20 is divided into multiple segments, and the explanation will be based on the massage element 200 being divided into multiple segments; alternatively, if the massage body 20 is a single unit, the explanation will be based on the massage element 200 being a single unit.
[0101] Specifically, the massage body 20 includes a first segment 210 and a second segment 220. One end of the vibration component 300 is fixedly connected to the first segment 210, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second segment 220. Alternatively, the vibration component 300 is installed inside the massage body 20. Alternatively, the massage body 20 includes a first segment 210 and a second segment 220. One end of the vibration component 300 is fixedly connected to the first segment 210 via a first connector, and the other end is fixedly connected to the second segment 220 via a second connector.
[0102] When the massage body 20 includes a first segment 210 and a second segment 220, the massage component 200 includes a first segment 210 and a second segment 220 as an example.
[0103] Specifically, a massager includes:
[0104] Vibration assembly 300, the vibration assembly 300 is used to generate vibration;
[0105] Massage component 200, the massage component 200 includes a first segment 210 and a second segment 220, one end of the vibration component 300 is fixedly connected to the first segment 210 and the other end is fixedly connected to the second segment 220, so that the vibration generated by the vibration component 300 can be transmitted to the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 at the same time.
[0106] The first segment 210 and / or the second segment 220 are elastic, so that the massage element 200 can elastically deform along the contour of the user's body during the massage process.
[0107] Specifically, in this embodiment, the massage component 200 is not a single unit, but is clearly divided into at least two segments, with the vibration component 300 located between the two segments. The two ends of the vibration component 300 are fixedly connected to the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, respectively. In this case, a portion of the vibration component 300 is exposed outside the massage component 200. Thus, the vibration component 300 can directly act on the human body surface or be transmitted to the human body through the massage component 200. It is worth noting that both the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 can transmit the vibration of the vibration component 300 from the connection point away from the connection point, and simultaneously transmit the vibration radially along the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 to the user's body surface. In this way, the vibration component 300 can directly transmit vibration to the user's body surface, significantly improving the vibration transmission efficiency; at the same time, it also allows for a stronger vibration sensation at the location corresponding to the vibration component 300. There are many ways to connect the vibration component 300 to the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, such as by plugging, by snap-fit, by screws or other fasteners, by adhesive, by cable ties or other locking mechanisms. Of course, in some embodiments, in order to improve the reliability of the connection between the vibration component 300 and the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, the above-mentioned multiple methods can be combined for connection.
[0108] To illustrate with a specific example, regarding the connection between the vibration component 300 and the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, the massager also includes a first mating structure and a second mating structure. The first mating structure connects one end of the first segment 210 and the vibration component 300, and the second mating structure connects the other end of the second segment 220 and the vibration component 300. The first and second mating structures can take many forms, such as cable ties, clamps, or other locking structures; no special limitation is made here, and any structure that can be used to connect the first segment 210 and the vibration component 300 is acceptable.
[0109] In this embodiment, by configuring the massage component 200 to include a first segment 210 and a second segment 220, and installing the vibration assembly 300 between the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, the vibration assembly 300 can simultaneously transmit vibration to both the first segment 210 and the second segment 220. This allows the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 to act on the user's body surface simultaneously. Furthermore, because the first segment 210 and / or the second segment 220 are elastic, the massage component 200 can elastically deform along the contour of the user's body surface during the massage process. This allows the massage component 200 to transmit vibration more evenly to the user's body surface, enabling the user to enjoy a larger area of vibration simultaneously. The massaged area enhances the user's massage experience. Simultaneously, it provides sufficient space for the connection between the vibration component 300 and the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, making the connection between the first segment 210, the second segment 220, and the vibration component 300 visible, avoiding blind operation and facilitating the installation of the vibration component 300. Furthermore, the vibration component 300 is located between the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, and at least part of the vibration component 300 is exposed on the massage piece, allowing the vibration component 300 to directly act on the user's body surface, significantly improving vibration transmission efficiency. This allows the location corresponding to the vibration component 300 to provide a stronger vibration sensation, enhancing the user's massage experience.
[0110] There are many ways to connect the vibration assembly 300 to the first segment 210 and the second segment 220. The following examples will illustrate this in detail.
[0111] In some embodiments, the vibration assembly 300 includes a housing 310 and a vibration source 350 disposed within the housing 310. One end of the housing 310 is inserted into the first segment 210, and the other end is inserted into the second segment 220. The portion of the housing located between the two insertion positions is exposed outside the massage member 200. In this embodiment, the housing 310 is fixedly connected to the massage member 200, avoiding the connection between the vibration source 350 itself and the massage member 200. When selecting and using the vibration source 350, there is no need to consider the compatibility between the vibration source 350 and the massage member 200 (which is elastic and easily deformed), so that the form and installation of the vibration source 350 are not affected by the massage member 200, increasing the possibility of selecting a suitable vibration source 350. Furthermore, the insertion method between the housing 310 and the first segment 210 can be varied. For example, the first segment 210 can be inserted into the end of the housing 310, or the end of the housing 310 can be inserted into the first segment 210. Similarly, the insertion method between the housing 310 and the second segment 220 can also be that the second segment 220 is inserted into the housing 310, or the housing 310 is inserted into the second segment 220; no special limitation is made here. By setting the connection method between the housing 310 and the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 to an insertion method, the convenience of connecting the housing 310 and the massage component 200 is greatly improved, which is beneficial to improving the assembly efficiency of the massager. In some embodiments, in order to further improve the connection reliability between the housing 310 and the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, an adhesive layer can be provided at the connection point between the housing 310 and the first segment 210 and the second segment 220.
[0112] The following description uses the example of inserting the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 into the two ends of the housing 310, respectively. Specifically, the first segment 210 has a first insertion position, and the second segment 220 has a second insertion position. The housing 310 includes an assembly part 316 and a first insertion part 317 and a second insertion part 318 located at both ends of the assembly part 316. The first insertion part 317 is inserted into the first insertion position, and the second insertion part 318 is inserted into the second insertion position. The assembly part 316 is used to connect to the vibration source 350, and the first insertion part 317 and the second insertion part 318 are respectively inserted into the first insertion position and the second insertion position. The first insertion position and the second insertion position can be insertion slots or insertion holes, as long as they allow the first insertion part 317 and the second insertion part 318 to be inserted.
[0113] In some embodiments, to further enhance the user's massage experience, the radial dimensions of the first insertion portion 317 and / or the second insertion portion 318 are smaller than the radial dimension of the assembly portion 316, and the radial dimension of the assembly portion 316 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the first segment 210 and the second segment 220. In this embodiment, by setting the radial dimension of the assembly portion 316 to be substantially the same as the outer diameter of the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, the action distances of the assembly portion 316, the first segment 210, and the second segment 220 on the human body surface are approximately equal during the massage process, resulting in a higher degree of contact between the three components and the human body surface, thereby enabling them to better transmit vibrations to the human body surface.
[0114] In some embodiments, to further enhance the massage sensation of the housing 310, the first segment 210, and the second segment 220 on the human body surface, after the first insertion part 317 is inserted into the first insertion position, the end of the assembly part 316 fits against the end face of the first segment 210, so that there is no gap between the assembly part 316 and the first segment 210; similarly, after the second insertion part 318 is inserted into the second insertion position, the other end of the assembly part 316 fits against the end face of the second segment 220, so that there is no gap between the assembly part 316 and the second segment 220. Thus, after assembly, the outer surfaces of the vibration component 300 and the massage component 200 are substantially continuous and consistent, so that when they act on the human body surface, they do not produce an uneven feeling, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0115] It is worth noting that when the vibration component 300 and the massage element 200 are not plugged in, at least a portion of the outer diameter of the vibration component 300 is substantially the same as the outer diameter of the massage element 200. After the vibration component 300 and the massage element 200 are assembled, the outer surface of the vibration component 300 is substantially flush with the outer surface of the massage element 200. Thus, the substantially flush outer surface of the vibration component 300 with the outer surface of the massage element 200 is independent of the connection method between the vibration component 300 and the massage element 200.
[0116] In some embodiments, to improve the stability of the electrical connection between the electronic control component and the vibration component 300, the massager further includes an electronic control component and an electrical connector 680. The electronic control component is located at the end of the first segment 210 away from the vibration component 300. The first segment 210 has a first wiring channel, and the vibration component 300 has a wiring groove 311 communicating with the first wiring channel. One end of the electrical connector 680 is connected to the electronic control component, and the other end is electrically connected to the vibration component 300 through the first wiring channel and the wiring groove 311. At least a portion of the vibration component 300 is inserted into the first wiring channel so that at least a portion of the wiring groove 311 is housed within the first wiring channel. In this embodiment, the electronic control component may include a power supply 630 and / or a main control board 620, and the electrical connector 680 may be a wire or a flexible circuit board. The first wiring channel may be located inside or outside the first segment 210, and the wiring channel may be a wire groove or a wire hole, etc. The wiring groove 311 on the vibration assembly 300 is located on the outer surface of the vibration assembly 300, so that the electrical connector 680 passes through the first wiring channel and the wiring groove 311, thereby greatly reducing the influence of moisture, dust and insects in the external environment on the electrical connector 680, which is conducive to improving the working stability of the electrical connector 680.
[0117] In some embodiments, in order to improve the overall massage sensation of the massager, the massage component 200 further includes a third segment 230 and another vibration component 300. The two ends of the other vibration component 300 are fixedly connected to the second segment 220 and the third segment 230 respectively, so that the vibration generated by the other vibration component 300 can be transmitted to the second segment 220 and the third segment 230 at the same time.
[0118] Specifically, in this embodiment, the vibration component 300 is located between the second segment 220 and the third segment 230. The connection and positional relationship between the vibration component 300 and the second and third segments 220 can be referred to the connection and positional relationship between the vibration component 300 and the first and second segments 210 in the previous embodiment, and will not be repeated here. It is worth noting that by dividing the massage member 200 into three segments and spaced two vibration components 300 between adjacent segments, the massager can provide a stronger vibration intensity.
[0119] In some embodiments, to improve the reliability of the electrical connection between the electronic control component and the vibration component 300, the massager further includes an electronic control component and an electrical connector 680. The electronic control component is located at the end of the first segment 210 away from the vibration component 300. The first segment 210 has a first wiring channel, the second segment 220 has a second wiring channel, and the vibration component 300 has a wiring groove 311 that connects the first wiring channel and the second wiring channel. One end of the electrical connector 680 is connected to the electronic control component, and the other end extends through the first wiring channel to the vibration component 300 and is electrically connected thereto. At the same time, it extends through the wiring groove 311 and the second wiring channel to another vibration component 300 and is electrically connected thereto.
[0120] Specifically, in this embodiment, the second wiring channel can be located inside or outside the second segment 220, without any special limitation, as long as the power connector 680 can pass through. In this embodiment, since the electronic control component is located at one end of the massage component 200, when the two vibration components 300 are spaced apart along the length of the massage component 200, there is a certain distance between the electronic control component and the two vibration components 300. One end of the power connector 680 is connected to the electronic control component, and the other end extends along the first wiring channel to the wiring groove 311 of the first vibration component 300, and is electrically connected to the vibration source 350 inside the vibration component 300 through a wire hole communicating with the wiring groove 311; after passing through the wiring groove 311, the power connector 680 enters the wiring groove 311 of the second vibration component 300 along the second wiring channel, and is then electrically connected to the vibration source 350 inside the vibration component 300. Thus, through the arrangement of the first wiring channel, the second wiring channel, and the wiring groove 311, the electrical connector 680 can be smoothly connected to the two vibration components 300, while protecting all electrical connectors 680 from the influence of the external environment.
[0121] It is worth noting that the vibration intensity decreases as the vibration is transmitted along the length of the segment. Therefore, the length ratio of the first segment 210, the second segment 220, and the third segment 230 affects the vibration intensity of the three segments. For example, since the second segment 220 is connected to both vibration components 300, its vibration intensity is higher when its length is comparable to that of the first segment 210 and the third segment 230. When the length of the second segment 220 is twice the length of both the first segment 210 and the third segment 230, the vibrations emitted by the two vibration components 300 are evenly distributed along the length of the massage component 200. When the length of the first segment 210 is greater than the length of the second segment 220, the vibration generated by the vibration assembly 300 is transmitted along the length direction of the first segment 210 to the end away from the second segment 220 (near or to the first grip portion 110), where the vibration is at its maximum weakening. This significantly reduces the impact of vibration on the user's grip while ensuring that the second segment 220 and part of the first segment 210 have high vibration output. Similarly, when the length of the third segment 230 is greater than the length of the second segment 220, the vibration generated by the vibration assembly 300 is transmitted along the length direction of the third segment 230 to the end away from the second segment 220 (near or to the second grip portion 120), where the vibration is at its maximum weakening. This significantly reduces the impact of vibration on the user's grip while ensuring that the second segment 220 and part of the third segment 230 have high vibration output. In this way, by setting the length of the second segment 220 to be less than the length of the first segment 210 and less than the length of the third segment 230, the amplitude of the grip portion at both ends of the massager can be greatly reduced, which is beneficial for the user's grip. At the same time, it allows a portion of the first segment 210, a portion of the third segment 230, and the second segment 220 to output a higher vibration intensity, ensuring the user's vibration experience. Thus, the user's experience with the massager is greatly improved.
[0122] In some embodiments, to enhance the massage experience and allow the massage element 200 to more readily bend elastically along the user's body surface, the length of the massage element 200 is greater than or equal to five times the length of the vibration component 300. Specifically, in this embodiment, the vibration component 300 is rigid and does not easily deform elastically along its length. When the length of the massage element 200 is greater than or equal to five times the length of the vibration component 300, the proportion of the massage element 200 that is not easily bent elastically is small, ensuring that the overall bending of the massage element 200 remains smooth when it undergoes elastic bending, allowing the massage element 200 to conform as closely as possible to the human body surface.
[0123] When the vibration component 300 is fully installed inside the massage body 20, taking the example of the vibration component 300 being fully installed inside the massage component 200.
[0124] Specifically, a massager includes:
[0125] Vibration assembly 300, the vibration assembly 300 is used to generate vibration;
[0126] The massage element 200 has a closed mounting cavity 270, and the vibration assembly 300 is mounted in the mounting cavity 270 so that the vibration generated by the vibration assembly 300 can be transmitted to the massage element 200; the massager is a non-invasive massager, and the massage element 200 is used to transmit vibrations through the surface of the massage element 200 to the user's body surface;
[0127] The massage element 200 is elastic, so that it can undergo elastic deformation along the contour of the user's body during the massage process.
[0128] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting cavity 270 can take many forms, and no particular limitation is made here, as long as it is a spatial structure that can completely accommodate and install the vibration component 300. A closed mounting cavity 270 means that the completed (working) mounting cavity 270 is not connected to the external environment; however, when not in operation or during assembly, the mounting cavity 270 can communicate with the outside. Because the mounting cavity 270 is closed, the vibration component 300 is not exposed after being installed into the mounting cavity 270. In some embodiments, to improve the vibration transmission efficiency of the vibration component 300, the vibration component 300 includes a housing 310 and a vibration source 350 disposed within the housing 310. The outer wall of the housing 310 is at least partially attached to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 270. After the outer wall of the housing 310 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting cavity 270, the vibration generated by the vibration source 350 will be directly transmitted to the massage component 200 through the housing 310. The vibration emitted by the vibration component 300 is transmitted to the user's body surface radially along the massage component 200 and also along the length of the massage component 200, so that the surface of the massage component 200 can transmit vibration to the user's body surface.
[0129] In this embodiment, by installing the vibration component 300 within the mounting cavity 270, the vibration generated by the vibration component 300 is first transmitted to the cavity wall of the mounting cavity 270, then transmitted through the cavity wall to the surface of the massage element 200, and finally transmitted to the human body surface. Thus, the vibration component 300 in this application does not directly contact the human skin; the vibration is evenly distributed by the massage element 200 before acting on the human body. Compared to the vibration component 300 directly acting on the human body, the vibration intensity received by the human body surface in this embodiment is more uniform. Simultaneously, the vibration component 300 is housed within the mounting cavity 270, providing complete isolation and preventing moisture, dust, insects, etc., from affecting the operation of the vibration component 300, thereby improving the stability of the vibration component 300's operation. Furthermore, even if the fit between the vibration component 300 and the massage element 200 becomes loose, it can be easily corrected by simply... Even with the outer wall of the vibration component 300 fitting snugly against the inner wall of the mounting cavity 270, the vibration component 300 can still transmit vibrations to the massage element 200. Simultaneously, by setting the massage element to be elastic, it undergoes elastic deformation upon contact with human skin, allowing a large area of the human body surface to be covered by the massage body. This results in a continuous, large-area contour surface that the massager can apply to, enabling simultaneous massage of a large area of the human body's contour. This significantly improves the uniformity of the massage, thereby greatly enhancing the sensation and efficiency of the massage.
[0130] There are many forms of mounting cavity 270, which will be explained below.
[0131] In some embodiments, the massage member 200 is an integral massage member 200, the massage member 200 has an installation channel that extends along the length direction of the massage member 200, the installation channel has an installation port that communicates with the outside, and the installation channel communicates with the installation cavity 270 so that the vibration component 300 can be moved from the installation port to the installation cavity 270 for installation.
[0132] Specifically, in this embodiment, the massage component 200 is a complete part. The vibration component 300 enters the mounting channel from the mounting port and moves along the mounting channel to the mounting cavity 270 for installation and fixation. At this time, there is a certain distance between the mounting port and the mounting cavity 270, and the vibration component 300 needs to move a certain distance before entering the mounting cavity 270. The mounting port and mounting channel can take many forms. For example, when the massage component 200 is a solid strip structure, the mounting port and mounting channel can be formed by subsequent opening or drilling processes. In some embodiments, the massage component 200 can also be a hollow structure. For example, the massage component 200 includes a massage tube body, the mounting port is the port of the massage tube body, and the mounting channel includes the pipe 250 of the massage tube body. In this case, the vibration component 300 can enter the pipe 250 from the port and move along the pipe 250 to the position of the mounting cavity 270. In this way, the structure and processing technology of the massage component 200 are greatly simplified, and the assembly of the vibration component 300 is also facilitated.
[0133] In other embodiments, the massage member 200 includes a first segment 210 and a second segment 220 connected together, the first segment 210 and / or the second segment 220 having a mounting cavity 270 adjacent to the connection between the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, so that the vibration assembly 300 can be mounted from the connection between the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 to the mounting cavity 270.
[0134] Specifically, in this embodiment, the massage component 200 is divided into two segments. Before the vibration assembly 300 is installed, the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 can be independent of each other. After the vibration assembly 300 is installed, the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 are connected to enclose the vibration assembly 300 within the space formed by the first segment 210 and the second segment 220. In some embodiments, this space communicates with the mounting cavity 270; in other embodiments, this space can be the mounting cavity 270. Specifically, during the assembly process of the massager, the vibration assembly 300 is first installed into the mounting cavity 270 through the connection between the first segment 210 and the second segment 220. After the vibration assembly 300 is installed, the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 are then connected to seal the position where the vibration assembly 300 enters the mounting cavity 270. By configuring the massage component 200 to include a first segment 210 and a second segment 220, and placing the mounting cavity 270 near the connection between the first segment 210 and the second segment 220, the vibration assembly 300 can be assembled from the connection between the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 to the mounting cavity 270. This avoids the vibration assembly 300 having to move a long distance, simplifying the installation process. The connection between the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 can be achieved in various ways, such as by using a connector, adhesive bonding, or welding. Welding can be welding, such as ultrasonic welding; alternatively, it can involve melting the connection between the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 and then solidifying the connection.
[0135] In other embodiments, the massage component 200 includes a base and a cover 260. The base has a mounting cavity 270 with an assembly opening 271. The cover 260 is connected to the base corresponding to the assembly opening 271, allowing the cover 260 to be opened or closed. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting cavity 270 is directly formed on the base, has an assembly opening 271, and is provided with a cover 260 that matches the assembly opening 271. During assembly, the cover 260 is first opened, the vibration component 300 is fixed in the mounting cavity 270 through the assembly opening 271, and then the cover 260 is closed to seal the assembly opening 271. Of course, the cover 260 can have various forms, and the connection method between the cover 260 and the base can also be varied. For example, in some embodiments, the cover 260 and the base can be movably connected (rotational connection, sliding connection, etc.), so that the cover 260 has an open state and a closed state; in some embodiments, the cover 260 is fixed by welding, adhesive connection, etc., and is not easy to disassemble; of course, in some embodiments, it can also be connected by snap-fit connection, screws and other fasteners.
[0136] In some embodiments, for ease of installation of the vibration assembly 300, the vibration assembly 300 includes an inner rotor 359 motor and an eccentric block 353, the eccentric block 353 being fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 355 of the inner rotor 359 motor; the mounting cavity 270 is cylindrical in shape, and the inner sidewall of the mounting cavity 270 is fitted onto the outer stator 358 of the inner rotor 359 motor, so that the inner rotor motor and the mounting cavity 270 are tightly fitted. In this embodiment, the outer stator 358 of the inner rotor motor is directly inserted into the mounting cavity, without the need for additional parts for auxiliary installation, simplifying the structure of the vibration assembly 300 and significantly improving the installation efficiency of the vibration assembly 300. By using the inner rotor 359 motor, when the massage element 200 undergoes elastic deformation, the outer stator 358 isolates the inner rotor 359 and the massage element 200, preventing the massage element 200 from squeezing the inner rotor 359, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the vibration assembly 300. In some embodiments, the eccentric block 353 may also be disposed within the outer stator 358.
[0137] In some embodiments, since most of the massager can be used for massage, the control buttons 610 are located at both ends of the massager to prevent accidental activation of the control buttons 610 during operation. Specific examples are given below.
[0138] A massager, the massager comprising:
[0139] Vibration assembly 300, the vibration assembly 300 is used to generate vibration;
[0140] The massage body 20 is connected to the vibration component 300. The massage body 20 has an overall elongated shape. The massager is a non-invasive massager, and the massage body 20 is used to transmit vibrations to the user's body surface. The massager is a handheld massager, and both ends of the massage body 20 are for the user to hold. At least a portion of the massage body 20 is elastic, so that the massage body 20 can elastically deform along the contour of the user's body surface during the massage.
[0141] The main control board 620 and control buttons 610 are provided. The main control board 620 is installed at the end of the massage body 20 and is electrically connected to the vibration component 300. The control buttons 610 are used to control the vibration component 300 through the main control board 620. The control buttons 610 are installed at the end of the massage body 20 corresponding to the main control board 620, and at least part of the control buttons 610 are exposed outside the massage body 20.
[0142] Specifically, in this embodiment, the massager is a handheld massager. Normally, when using the massager, the user holds both ends of the massage body 20 with both hands, and the massage body 20 between the two ends massages the user's body surface. Specifically, the massage body 20 has a first grip portion 110 and a second grip portion 120 at each end. Control buttons 610 are exposed on the peripheral wall or end face of the first grip portion 110 or the second grip portion 120. During use, the first grip portion 110 and the second grip portion 120 are held by the user's hands. Because the massage body 20 can elastically bend along the contour of the user's body surface, the outer surface of the massage body 20 can act on the user's body surface. The main control board 620 is installed inside the massage body 20, and the control buttons 610 are installed at the ends of the massage body 20 corresponding to the positions on the main control board 620. This significantly reduces the distance between the control buttons 610 and the main control board 620, improving the interaction efficiency between the control buttons 610 and the main control board 620. Part of the control button 610 is exposed to facilitate user operation. The control button 610 can be a physical button, triggered by displacement, in which case the control button 610 transmits control signals by pressing against components on the main control board 620; or it can be a touch control button, in which case the control button 610 is electrically connected to the main control board 620 and transmits electrical signals to the main control board 620 via touch.
[0143] In this embodiment, by setting the massage body 20 to be elongated as a whole, and by setting at least a portion of the massage body 20 to be elastic, the portion between the two ends of the massage body 20 can elastically deform along the contour of the user's body surface during the massage process. This can significantly increase the massage range of the massage body 20 on the user. At the same time, by setting the main control board 620 and the control button 610 at the end of the massage body 20, the control button 610 can be prevented from contacting the human body surface during the user's use of the massager. This also prevents the control button 610 from being accidentally triggered even when the massage body 20 is moving and working, thus greatly improving the stability of the massager's operation.
[0144] The control buttons 610 can be installed in various positions and forms on the massage body 20. The following examples will provide specific explanations.
[0145] In some embodiments, a first mounting groove 135 is provided on the peripheral side of the end of the massage body 20, and the control button 610 is located within the first mounting groove 135, so that the outer surface of the control button 610 does not protrude from the outer surface of the massage body 20; or, the control button 610 is exposed on the end face of the end of the massage body 20. In this embodiment, the first mounting groove 135 communicates with the interior of the massage body 20, so that the first mounting groove 135 can be used to install the control button 610, and can also be a channel for the control button 610 to cooperate with the main control board 620. When the control button 610 is located on the peripheral sidewall of the end, the outer surface of the control button 610 does not protrude from the outer surface of the massage body 20, and can be substantially flush with the peripheral side of the end. This prevents the user from pressing the control button 610 when holding the end. When the control button 610 is located on the end face, the control button 610 can protrude slightly from the end face, or can be substantially flush with the end face.
[0146] In some embodiments, the massager further includes a power supply 630, which is disposed at the end of the massage body 20 near the main control board 620. The power supply 630, the main control board 620, and the vibration assembly 300 are electrically connected. Specifically, in this embodiment, the power supply 630 can take various forms, such as a rechargeable battery or a power supply connector for electrical connection with an external power supply 630; of course, in some embodiments, both a rechargeable battery and a power supply connector may be included. In this embodiment, by placing the power supply 630 near the main control board 620, the length of the electrical connector 680 connecting the power supply 630 and the main control board 620 is significantly reduced, which helps to improve the stability of the electrical connection between the two.
[0147] In some embodiments, to facilitate charging of the power supply 630, the massager further includes a charging interface 650, which is electrically connected to the power supply 630 and / or the main control board 620. The charging interface 650 is disposed at the end of the massage body 20 corresponding to the main control board 620. In this embodiment, the charging interface 650 can be installed at the end of the massage body 20 in many ways, as illustrated below. A second mounting groove 136 is provided on the peripheral side of the end of the massage body 20, and the charging interface 650 is located in the second mounting groove 136 so that the outer surface of the charging interface 650 does not protrude from the outer surface of the massage element 200; or, the charging interface 650 is exposed on the end face of the end of the massage body 20. In this way, the charging interface 650 will not come into contact with the human body surface, thereby avoiding the charging interface 650 being affected during the massage, which helps to improve the working stability of the charging interface 650.
[0148] In some embodiments, the massager also includes a gear indicator light 660, which is electrically connected to the main control board 620. The gear indicator light 660 is installed in the end of the massage body 20 near the main control board 620. A light transmission structure 137 is provided at the end of the massage body 20 corresponding to the position of the gear indicator light 660, and the light of the gear indicator light 660 is emitted through the light transmission structure 137.
[0149] Specifically, in this embodiment, the light-transmitting structure 137 can be of many types, such as light-transmitting holes, light guide pillars, light guide sheets, etc., without any special limitation, as long as it can guide light out. The light-transmitting structure 137 can be located on the peripheral side of the end or on the end face of the end. The following example illustrates this in detail. The light-transmitting structure 137 includes multiple light-transmitting holes; these holes are located on the peripheral side of the end of the massage body 20, and are spaced apart circumferentially or longitudinally along the peripheral side; or, the holes are located on the end face of the end of the massage body 20, and are spaced apart circumferentially or radially along the end face. When the light-transmitting structure 137 is located on the end face, the multiple light-transmitting holes are arranged in an arc shape along the circumferential direction of the end face, or in a straight line parallel to the radial direction. When the structure is located on the peripheral side of the end, the multiple light-transmitting holes are arranged in an arc shape along the circumferential direction of the peripheral side, or in a straight line along the longitudinal direction of the peripheral side. Multiple light-transmitting holes correspond to multiple gear indicator lights 660, and the number of gear indicator lights 660 that light up depends on the amount of power supplied by the power supply 630.
[0150] In some embodiments, to facilitate better gripping of the massager and improve its ease of use, the massage body 20 includes a massage element 200 and a handle disposed at the end of the massage element 200. A vibration component 300 is mounted on the massage element 200, and a main control board 620 and control buttons 610 are mounted on the handle. In this embodiment, the handle facilitates gripping of the massager; simultaneously, mounting the main control board 620 and control buttons 610 on the handle reduces vibration to these components, thus improving their operational stability.
[0151] There are many types of handles, and specific examples are given below.
[0152] In terms of the specific structure of the handle, the handle includes a handheld component 132 and an end cap 133. One end of the handheld component 132 is connected to the end of the massage component 200, and the other end is connected to the end cap 133. The main control board 620 and the control button 610 are mounted on the end cap 133, or installed inside the handheld component 132. The end cap 133 and the handheld component 132 can be integrally formed, or they can be two independent detachable parts. When the end cap 133 and the handheld component 132 are detachably connected, there are many ways to connect them, such as by snap-fit connection, by threaded connection, by fasteners such as screws, etc. The handheld component 132 can be hollow. In some embodiments, the power supply 630 can be installed inside the handheld component 132. In this case, taking the main control board 620 and the control button 610 mounted on the end cap 133 and the power supply 630 installed inside the handheld component 132 as an example. This not only makes the structure of the massage body 20 end compact and greatly simplifies the circuitry of the massager, but also protects the powered components such as the power supply 630, main control board 620, and control buttons 610, minimizing their impact from vibration and thus improving their operational stability. In some embodiments, to provide comfort and reliability for the user gripping the handle, the handle may also include an anti-slip sleeve 131. The anti-slip sleeve 131 may be elastic and is fitted onto the handgrip 132. When the user grips the handle, vibration is transmitted from the handgrip 132 to the anti-slip sleeve 131 and then to the user. During this process, the anti-slip sleeve 131 can absorb the energy of the vibration, reducing the vibration felt by the user and improving the user experience.
[0153] In terms of the number and distribution of handles, the handles include a first grip 130 and a second grip 150, which are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the massage element 200. The main control board 620 and control buttons 610 are mounted on the first grip 130 and / or the second grip 150. Specifically, in this embodiment, the hardness of the first grip 130 and the second grip 150 is greater than that of the massage element 200. The first grip 130 and the second grip 150 are made of hard materials, which helps improve the installation stability and reliability of the main control board 620 and the control buttons 610. The first grip 130 and the second grip 150 are located at both ends of the massage element 200. When the user uses the massager, their hands hold the first grip 130 and the second grip 150 respectively, which improves the convenience of using the massager.
[0154] It is worth noting that the first grip 130 and the second grip 150 in the above embodiments can also have a similar structure to the handle. That is, both the first grip 130 and the second grip 150 can include a handheld part 132 and an end cap 133. Similarly, the main control board 620 and the control buttons 610 are mounted on the end cap 133 or on the handheld part 132. It is also worth noting that in some embodiments, the structures of the second grip 150 and the first grip 130 can be different. For example, the second grip 150 may not have an additional end cap 133, or the end cap 133 may be integrally formed with the handheld part 132.
[0155] There are many ways to connect the first gripping member 130 and the massage member 200. Examples are given below.
[0156] The massage body 20 includes a massage element 200, a first grip 130 disposed at one end of the massage element 200, and a connecting component 500. One end of the connecting component 500 is connected to the first grip 130, and the other end is fixedly connected to the massage element 200 through a locking member 670.
[0157] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connection method between the connecting component 500 and the first gripper 130 can be varied, such as connection via screws or other fasteners, snap-fit connection, threaded connection, etc., without any particular limitation. In some embodiments, to improve the ease of installation and disassembly of the connecting component 500 and the first gripper 130, and thus improve the ease of maintenance and replacement of components within the first gripper 130, a threaded connection between the connecting component 500 and the first gripper 130 is taken as an example. The locking member 670 can take many forms, such as clamps, cable ties, etc. The connecting component 500 is a rigid component, while the massage component 200 is elastic. The end of the massage component 200 can be sleeved on the end of the connecting component 500 away from the first gripper 130, and then the locking member 670 is tied from the outside of the massage component 200, corresponding to the sleeved portion, thereby binding and locking the massage component 200 onto the connecting component 500. Specifically, the end of the connecting assembly 500 furthest from the first gripper 130 has a plug-in rod 511, and the end of the massage member 200 has a sleeve portion 240. The sleeve portion 240 is fitted onto the plug-in rod 511, and a locking member 670 is fitted around the sleeve portion 240 to lock the sleeve portion 240 to the plug-in rod 511. This fully utilizes the elasticity of the massage member 200, significantly improving the connection stability between the massage member 200 and the connecting assembly 500. Simultaneously, this connection method is simple and efficient, improving the ease of connection between the first gripper 130 and the massage member 200.
[0158] Specifically, the connecting assembly 500 may include a connecting body 510, and a plug rod 511 is disposed on the connecting body 510. In some embodiments, to improve the connection stability between the connecting assembly 500 and the socket 240, a limiting groove 515 is provided on the circumference of the plug rod 511. The locking member 670 tightens the socket 240 corresponding to the limiting groove 515, so that the inner sidewall of the socket 240 at least partially enters the limiting groove 515. The groove wall of the limiting groove 515 stops the inner sidewall of the socket 240, preventing the limiting part from sliding along the length direction of the plug rod 511.
[0159] In some embodiments, to improve the connection reliability between the massage member 200 and the first gripper 130, the connecting assembly 500 further includes an annular flange 512 surrounding the insertion rod 511, forming an insertion groove 513 between the annular flange 512 and the insertion rod 511, with at least a portion of the sleeve portion inserted into the insertion groove 513. In this embodiment, the annular flange 512 may be integrally formed with the insertion rod 511 or may be mounted on the insertion point; no special limitation is made here. By providing the insertion groove 513 and inserting at least a portion of the sleeve portion into the insertion groove 513, the connection stability between the massage member 200 and the connecting assembly 500 is further improved.
[0160] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 500 further includes a first decorative element 520, which is fastened to the annular flange 512. The first decorative element 520 is sleeved on the periphery of the massage member 200 at a position corresponding to the locking member 670, so that the first decorative element 520 can cover the locking member 670. In this embodiment, the first decorative element 520 is annular and sleeved on the outside of the locking member 670, thus covering the locking member 670. This is beneficial for protecting the locking member 670 and its connection from factors such as moisture in the external environment, preventing the stability of the locking member 670 from being affected. At the same time, it also prevents the locking member 670 from being accidentally squeezed or collided, so that the locking member 670 will not mis-lock due to external force. In addition, in some embodiments, the first decorative element 520 is sleeved on the surface of the sleeved portion, further limiting the sleeved portion, thereby further enhancing the connection stability and reliability between the sleeved portion and the connecting assembly 500.
[0161] In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 500 further includes a second decorative element 530, which is connected to the end of the first decorative element 520 facing away from the first gripper 130. The second decorative element 530 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the massage element 200. In this embodiment, the second decorative element 530 is arranged in a ring shape. By sleeved on the outer periphery of the end of the massage element 200, the connection length and area between the massage element 200 and the connecting assembly 500 are increased, allowing the elastic massage element 200 to better cooperate with the first gripper 130 at the end. The connection method between the second decorative element 530 and the first decorative element 520 can be varied, such as by fasteners like screws, by snap-fit connections, or by adhesive bonding, etc., without any particular limitation. In this embodiment, the first decorative element 520 and the second decorative element 530 are connected by a threaded connection, making the installation and removal of the first decorative element 520 and the second decorative element 530 more convenient, facilitating the replacement and maintenance of components installed at the end of the massage element 200.
[0162] In some embodiments, to improve the ease of use for the user holding the massage device, the massage body 20 further includes a second grip 150, which is connected to the other end of the massage element 200 via another connecting component 500. The structure of the second grip 150 is substantially the same as that of the first grip 130. The way the other connecting component 500 connects the second grip 150 and the massage element 200 is the same as the way the connecting component 500 connects the first grip 130 and the massage element 200, and will not be described further here.
[0163] There are many possible structural forms for the vibration assembly 300. The following examples will provide specific details.
[0164] A vibration assembly 300 is used in a massager, the massager including a massage element 200, the vibration assembly 300 comprising:
[0165] The housing 310 has an assembly cavity and is used to be fixedly connected to the massage member 200, wherein at least a portion of the massage member 200 is elastic so that the massage member 200 can elastically deform along the contour of the user's body surface;
[0166] A driving component, comprising a driving body and a rotating shaft 355, wherein the rotating shaft 355 is rotatable relative to the driving body, at least a portion of the driving body is located within the assembly cavity, and the driving body is fixedly connected to the housing 310.
[0167] Eccentric block 353 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 355.
[0168] Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing 310 can take many forms. Taking a roughly cylindrical shape as an example, the housing 310 can be a rigid component to improve its supporting strength. The housing 310 can be made of various materials, such as tempered glass, stainless steel, or other metals. The housing 310 can be a single, integral component or formed by combining multiple housing parts. The specific form can be set according to the specific requirements of the working conditions. In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation of components such as the drive unit, the housing 310 is set to be composed of multiple housing parts.
[0169] When the drive component and eccentric block 353 work together, they generate vibrations, which can be classified as vibration sources 350 mentioned in the above embodiments. The drive component is a power source used to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The drive body can include a stator and a rotor, wherein the rotor can be an outer rotor 351 (such as an outer rotor 351 brushed motor or an outer rotor 351 brushless motor) or an inner rotor 359 (such as an inner rotor 359 brushed motor or an inner rotor 359 brushless motor). The rotating shaft 355 is fixedly connected to the rotor and rotates with the rotation of the rotor. The specific form of the drive body is not specifically limited here. Taking an outer rotor 351 brushless motor as an example, the cost of the drive component can be controlled while ensuring that the drive body can output sufficient power, and the size of the drive body can also be taken into account, so that the size of the drive component is not too large due to the form of the drive body. In some embodiments, heat dissipation holes 312 connecting the inside and outside of the housing 310 are also provided on the housing 310.
[0170] The stator of the drive component can be directly connected to the housing 310, or it can be connected to the housing 310 through other components; no special limitation is made here. When the drive component is working, the rotating shaft 355 drives the eccentric block 353 to rotate eccentrically. The centrifugal force generated by the eccentricity is transmitted to the drive body through the rotating shaft 355. Since the drive body is fixedly connected to the housing 310, the energy of the centrifugal force is converted into the vibration energy of the drive body, and the vibration is transmitted to the massage component 200 through the housing 310. Both the drive component and the eccentric block 353 are located within the assembly cavity. The housing 310 isolates the massage component 200 and the drive component from the eccentric block 353, so that neither the drive component nor the eccentric block 353 is squeezed by the massage component 200, thereby ensuring that the operation of the drive component and the eccentric block 353 is not affected by the elastic massage component 200.
[0171] In this embodiment, by configuring the vibration component 300 to include a housing 310 and placing the drive component inside the housing 310, the housing 310 protects the drive component, preventing the elastic massage component 200 from deforming and squeezing the drive component, thus affecting its operation. This allows the type of drive component to be unrestricted by the massage component 200, enabling designers to select cost-effective drive components as needed, controlling the production cost of the vibration component 300, and improving its cost-effectiveness. Simultaneously, the elastic massage component 200 can bend elastically along the user's body contour during operation, allowing the outer surface of the massage body 20 to conform extensively to the human body surface, significantly improving the sensation and efficiency of the massage.
[0172] In some embodiments, to improve the ease of connection between the drive body and the housing 310, the housing 310 includes a first housing portion 320 and a second housing portion 330, which are detachably connected. The first housing portion 320 has a first fixing plate 321 at its end away from the second housing portion 330, and the drive body is fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 321. And / or, the second housing portion 330 has a second fixing plate at its end away from the first housing portion 320, and the drive body is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate. In this embodiment, by configuring the housing 310 to include a detachable first housing portion 320 and a second housing portion 330, and forming an assembly cavity enclosed by the first housing portion 320 and the second housing portion 330, the drive body can be first fixed to either the first housing portion 320 or the second housing portion 330, and then assembled with the first housing portion 320 and the second housing portion 330. This provides a sufficiently large installation space for the drive body, which improves the ease of installation. In this embodiment, the drive body is mounted on the first fixing plate 321 and / or the second fixing plate, so that there is enough installation space for the drive body, which helps to improve the convenience of the drive body installation.
[0173] In some embodiments, in order to improve the vibration transmission efficiency, the housing 310 includes a first housing portion 320 and a second housing portion 330, which are detachably connected; the first housing portion 320 has a first fixing plate 321 at one end away from the second housing portion 330; the drive body includes a rotor, a stator and an end plate 356, which are fixedly connected, and the end plate 356 is attached to and fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 321.
[0174] Specifically, in this embodiment, by fixing the stator and end plate 356, the vibration generated by the eccentric rotation of the eccentric block 353 can be transmitted from the stator to the end plate 356. By attaching and fixing the end plate 356 to the first fixed plate 321, the vibration can be transmitted from the end plate 356 to the first fixed plate 321 and then to the housing 310. Because the end plate 356 and the first fixed plate 321 are attached and fixed, the contact area between them is greatly increased. During the transmission of vibration from the end plate 356 to the first fixed plate 321, the transmission efficiency is significantly increased, allowing the housing 310 to receive more vibration energy. The stator and rotor can take many forms. In this embodiment, the outer rotor 351 is arranged in the shape of a cylindrical shell 357, with the inner stator 352 located inside the cylindrical shell 357. One end of the cylindrical shell 357 is open, and the end plate 356 is fixedly connected to the inner stator through the corresponding opening. A rotational gap 360 exists between the cylindrical shell 357 and the inner wall of the housing 310. Thus, by setting the rotation gap 360, the outer rotor 351 can rotate stably, and even if the massage component 200 undergoes elastic deformation, it will not squeeze the outer rotor 351.
[0175] In some embodiments, to improve the vibration feel of the vibration assembly 300, there are two rotating shafts 355 and two eccentric blocks 353. The two rotating shafts 355 are located at both ends of the drive body, and the two eccentric blocks 353 are fixedly connected to the two rotating shafts 355 respectively; the two rotating shafts 355 are coaxially arranged. In this embodiment, the two rotating shafts 355 are fixedly connected to the rotor, and the two eccentric blocks 353 rotate eccentrically on the same axis. The resulting centrifugal force is transmitted to the stator through the rotating shafts 355 and the rotor. One of the two eccentric blocks 353 is located on the side of the end plate 356 facing away from the stator, and the corresponding rotating shaft 355 extends through the end plate 356 in a direction away from the rotor.
[0176] In some embodiments, to facilitate the passage of the electrical connector 680 through the vibration assembly 300, the housing 310 has a wiring groove 311 that extends through the housing 310 along its length. In this embodiment, by setting the wiring groove 311 to extend through the housing 310 along its length, the electrical connector 680 can pass through the housing 310 along its length, which facilitates convenient connection of the electrical connector 680 to electronic components in the massager. A wire passage 313 may be provided on the side wall of the housing 310, communicating with the wiring groove 311, allowing the electrical connector 680 to electrically connect to electronic components inside the housing 310 through the wire passage 313. This also eliminates the need to consider the installation direction when installing the housing 310; the electrical connector 680 can reach the position of the wire passage 313 from any direction.
[0177] In some embodiments, one end of the housing 310 has a first connecting portion and / or the other end has a second connecting portion, which are used to be fixedly connected to the massage member 200. There are many ways to fix the first and second connecting portions to the massage member 200, such as by insertion, adhesive fastening, threaded connection, snap-fit connection, etc., and no special limitation is made here. The following description uses an example where the massage member 200 includes multiple segments. The massage member 200 includes a first segment 210 and a second segment 220. The first connecting portion is inserted into the first segment 210 and / or the second connecting portion is inserted into the second segment 220. The first and / or second connecting portions have clearance gaps 315. The driving member is fixedly connected to the housing 310 by fasteners, and the clearance gaps 315 correspond to the fasteners. In this embodiment, the fasteners can be screws, etc. The clearance gaps 315 avoid the installation and removal paths of the fasteners, thus providing a path for the fasteners to be installed and removed. In some embodiments, the clearance gap 315 can also provide elastic deformation for the first connecting part and / or the second connecting part. When the first connecting part and / or the second connecting part is inserted into the massage member 200, elastic deformation occurs. After insertion, the first connecting part and / or the second connecting part abuts against the inner wall of the massage member 200 under the action of elastic restoring force, so that the insertion between the first connecting part and / or the second connecting part and the first segment 210 and the second segment 220 has a radial pre-tightening force, which improves the insertion reliability of the first connecting part and / or the second connecting part and the first segment 210 and the second segment 220.
[0178] In some embodiments, the housing 310 has a wiring groove 311 that communicates with the interior of the housing 310, allowing an electrical connector 680, which is electrically connected to the drive body, to be electrically connected to external electronic components via the wiring groove 311. The wiring groove 311 is located on the outer side wall of the housing 310, and the housing 310 has a wire passage 313 that connects the wiring groove 311 and the interior of the housing 310, allowing the electrical connector 680 to be electrically connected to the drive body after passing through the wiring groove 311 and the wire passage 313. The wiring groove 311 can be formed in various locations; for example, it can be formed at the connection between the first housing portion 320 and the second housing portion 330. Specifically, the housing 310 includes a first housing portion 320 and a second housing portion 330, which are detachably connected; the wire passage 313 is located at the connection between the first housing portion 320 and the second housing portion 330. In this embodiment, by placing the cable passage 313 at the connection between the first housing portion 320 and the second housing portion 330, the cable passage 313 requires no additional processing; only a notch needs to be pre-reserved in the first housing portion 320 and the second housing portion 330 during processing. In some embodiments, the cable routing groove 311 includes a first groove segment 322 and a second groove segment 331. The first groove is located on the first housing portion 320, the second groove is located on the second housing portion 330, and the cable passage 313 is located at the connection between the first groove and the second groove. The first groove extends through the first housing portion 320 along its length, and the second groove extends through the second housing portion 330 along its length. This allows the vibration assembly 300 to be installed without considering the installation direction. Regardless of which end of the vibration assembly 300 the electrical control component is located on, the electrical connector 680 can enter the cable passage 313 through the cable routing groove 311, improving the ease of installation of the vibration assembly 300.
