[0001] This application belongs to the field of health care equipment technology, and in particular relates to a massage mechanism and massage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A massage device is a device that uses mechanical rolling or squeezing force to provide massage. The massage mechanism is the structure in the massage device that comes into contact with the human body and, under drive, performs the massage function. For example, a massage mechanism can have back massage functions for the shoulders and neck, and neck massage functions. However, existing massage mechanisms have simple structures, resulting in poor tactile feedback and affecting the massage experience. Utility Model Content

[0034] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0035] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

[0036] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0037] Furthermore, the terms "shoulder" and "neck" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "shoulder" or "neck" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the massage mechanism 33 includes a housing 331. The surface of the housing 331 includes at least a first region 3311 and a second region 3312. The second region 3312 is connected to the first region 3311. The first region 3311 is used to contact the human body during massage, and the second region 3312 is used to deform during massage. The second region 3312 has low hardness. During the massage process, when the massage mechanism 33 presses the human body using the first region 3311 under drive, the second region 3312 is compressed due to the pressure, providing a buffer space for the movement of the first region 3311. When the massage mechanism 33 stops pressing the human body, the second region 3312 returns to its relaxed state due to its elasticity. The above structure makes the massage mechanism 33 elastic, which can reduce the pain caused to the user by massage and optimize the massage experience.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first region 3311 is a rigid region and the second region is a flexible region 3312. The second region 3312 is connected to the periphery of the first region 3311. During the massage, the first region 3311 can fully contact the human body, while the second region 3312 at its periphery will be compressed and deformed, which can make the massage mechanism 33 elastic in the direction of massage movement, reduce the pain caused to the user by the massage, and optimize the massage experience.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 331 has a recess 3313, the outline of which is an arc extending from one end of the housing 331 to the other, so that the housing 331 naturally conforms to the human body during massage. The lowest point of the recess 3313 is located at its center, and the highest points are located at both ends of the recess 3313. The height difference between the lowest and highest points of the recess 3313 ranges from 2 mm to 4 mm. For example, the height difference between the lowest and highest points of the recess 3313 is 2.8 mm.

[0041] In some embodiments, the recess 3313 is provided in the first region 3311. In this structure, since the first region 3311 has a concave curvature, the first region 3311 can better conform to the human body surface during the massage process.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first region 3311 is made of a rigid material, and the second region 3312 is made of a flexible material. Materials with different degrees of firmness allow the first region 3311 to better conform to the human body, and the second region 3312 to be softer and deformable during massage. For example:

[0043] In some embodiments, the housing 331 is made of a flexible material, retaining the softness of the massage mechanism 33 and providing a pleasant tactile feel when in contact with the area to be massaged, thus enhancing the user's massage experience. For example, the housing 331 can be made of silicone. The massage mechanism 33 also includes a support assembly disposed inside the housing 331 and at least partially supported by the inner wall of the housing 331 to form a first region 3311. The portion of the support assembly supported by the inner wall of the housing 331 is made of a rigid material with high hardness. With the support of the support assembly, the housing 331 forms the first region 3311, which has a relatively hard surface and is not easily deformed. During massage, this allows for more even pressure distribution on the body, improving the massage effect.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the massage mechanism 33 further includes a heating element 332, which is attached to the inner wall of the housing 331. The housing 331 is made of silicone, and the heating element 332 is a membrane structure that is flexible and has heating properties. The heating element 332 is directly or indirectly attached to the inner wall of the housing 331.

[0045] In some embodiments, the support assembly further includes a heating pad 333, which is made of a rigid material with a hardness greater than that of the heating element 332. The heating element 332 is sandwiched between the heating pad 333 and the inner wall of the housing 331. In some embodiments, the heating pad 333 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 331, and the heating element 332 is attached to the side of the heating pad 333 facing the housing 331. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the heating element 332 is directly attached to the inner wall of the housing 331, and the heating pad 333 abuts against the side of the heating element 332 away from the housing 331. Because the heating pad has a higher hardness, it can not only fix the heating element 332, but also support the housing to form the first area 3311, thereby enhancing the massage effect.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the heating pad 333 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 331, and the heating element 332 is attached to the side of the heating element 332 away from the housing 331. When the heating element 332 is working, the heat it emits is conducted to the housing 331 through the heating pad 333.

[0047] In some embodiments, the massage mechanism 33 also includes a temperature measuring component 336. The temperature measuring component 336 may include, but is not limited to, a temperature sensor 3361 and a temperature fuse 3362. The temperature measuring component 336 is located on the side of the heating pad 333 facing away from the housing 331. Alternatively, the temperature measuring component 336 may be located on the side of the heating pad 333 facing away from the housing. When the massage mechanism 33 massages the human body, the heating element 332 also begins to operate, at which time the temperature measuring component 336 detects the temperature of the heating pad 333. Alternatively, the temperature measuring component 336 detects the temperature of the heating element 332. The massage mechanism can also adjust the operating state of the heating element 332 based on the detected temperature value. For example, if the temperature measuring component 336 detects that the temperature of the heating pad 333 is higher than a predetermined temperature, it reduces the operating power of the heating element 332 to prevent burns to the user.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the support assembly further includes a device pressure plate 335, which is disposed on the side of the heating pad 333 away from the housing 331. The device pressure plate 335 presses the heating pad 333 and the heating element 332 tightly against the inner wall of the housing 331, so that the heating pad 333, the heating element 332 and the housing 331 can be firmly fixed and tightly fitted together.

[0049] In some embodiments, the support assembly inside the massage mechanism 33 may further include an elastic element 337 as filler to provide support. For example, the elastic element 337 is disposed between the device pressure plate 335 and the heating pad 333, and the elastic element 337 is located at the end of the device pressure plate 335. In some embodiments, there may be two elastic elements 337, located at both ends of the device pressure plate 335 and corresponding to both ends of the recess 3313 on the housing 331. Because of the presence of the recess 3313, the inner wall of the housing 331 is not smooth. When the device pressure plate 335 is installed inside the housing 331, the gap between the two ends of the recess 3313 and the device pressure plate 335 is relatively large, so the elastic element 337 is needed to fill the gap and provide effective support. The elastic element 337 may be a flexible element, for example, an elastic sponge.

[0050] In some embodiments, the massage mechanism 33 further includes a fixing bracket 334, which is supported inside the housing 331 and can fix the housing 331 and give and maintain the housing 331 a set shape.

[0051] like Figure 6As shown, the massage device provided by this utility model includes a main unit 35 and a massage mechanism 33, which is detachably mounted on the main unit 35. In some embodiments, the massage device further includes a kneading mechanism 34. For example, this massage device is a shoulder and neck massage device, and two massage mechanisms 33 and kneading mechanisms 34 are provided on the main unit 35. The massage mechanism 33 is used to massage the user's neck, and the kneading mechanism 34 is used to massage the user's shoulders or back.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
