Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0033] like Figure 1-4 The massage mechanism shown includes a base 1, a massage unit 2, and a drive unit, both of which are connected to the base 1. Specifically:
[0034] The base 1 serves as the main support for the massage unit and the drive unit. In this embodiment, the base 1 forms an installation space, and at least part of the drive unit is disposed within the installation space. Specifically, the base 1 includes an upper shell 10 and a lower shell 11, which together enclose the installation space.
[0035] The base 1 has ears 12 protruding from its body. The ears 12 are used to connect the massage unit 2. The ears 12 are also enclosed by the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 11. In the figure, there are two ears 12 symmetrically arranged, that is, two massage units 2 can be connected.
[0036] The massage unit 2 includes a massage housing 20 and a massage element 21, the massage element 21 being rotatably connected to the massage housing 20. Specifically:
[0037] The massage housing 20 has an upper connecting portion 200 and a lower connecting portion 201 formed on one side of its body, which are used to connect to the base 1. In this embodiment, the upper connecting portion 200 and the lower connecting portion 201 cooperate with the ear portion 12 of the base 1, and the ear portion 12 of the base 1 is inserted between the upper connecting portion 200 and the lower connecting portion 201.
[0038] The massage component 21 includes a base plate 210 and massage balls 211. The massage balls 211 are disposed on the base plate 210, and the rotation axis of the massage component 21 passes through the center of the base plate 210. Multiple massage balls 211 are provided; they can be of the same shape and size or different shapes and sizes to achieve a wider range of massage effects. The multiple massage balls 211 are distributed around the center of the base plate 210. In the illustration, there are two massage balls 211, one higher and one lower.
[0039] In this embodiment, the massage unit 2 includes a first massage unit and a second massage unit, that is, two massage units 2 are provided, and the two massage units 2 are respectively connected to the two ears 12 of the base 1.
[0040] The drive unit includes a power component 30 and a transmission assembly. The power component 30 is an electric motor, and the transmission assembly includes a first transmission shaft 310 and a transmission gear. The power component 30 is connected to the massage element 21 via the first transmission shaft 310 and the transmission gear, driving the massage element 21 to rotate relative to the massage housing 20. Simultaneously, the massage housing 20 is rotatably connected to the base 1 via the first transmission shaft 310. In other words, the massage housing 20 can rotate around the base 1 via the first transmission shaft 310, thus expanding the massage area. Figure 5-8As shown; on the other hand, the massage member 21 can rotate relative to the massage housing 20 to perform massage actions.
[0041] In this embodiment, the first drive shaft 310 passes through the upper connecting part 200 of the massage housing 20, the ear part 12 of the base 1, and the lower connecting part 201 of the massage housing 20, thereby realizing the rotation of the massage housing 20 relative to the base 1.
[0042] Furthermore, the position of the first drive shaft 310 passing through the massage housing 20 is off-center from the center of the massage housing 20, or in other words, the first drive shaft 310 passes through one side of the massage housing 20. This makes the rotation axis (first drive shaft) of the massage housing 20 more off-center (eccentric), and the greater the amplitude of the massage housing 20's rotation, the larger the massage area.
[0043] The following is a specific implementation of a transmission component:
[0044] like Figure 4 As shown: The transmission assembly also includes a second transmission shaft 311, and the massage element 21 is connected to the second transmission shaft 311. The power component 30 drives the massage element 21 to rotate through the first transmission shaft 310, the second transmission shaft 311, and the transmission gear. In this embodiment: the first transmission shaft 310 and the second transmission shaft 311 are parallel, which simplifies the setting of the transmission gear.
[0045] The transmission gears include a primary transmission gear 320, a first-secondary transmission gear 321, and a second-secondary transmission gear 322. The primary transmission gear 320 and the first-secondary transmission gear 321 are mounted on the first transmission shaft 310. The primary transmission gear 320 is in transmission engagement with the output shaft of the power component 30. The second-secondary transmission gear 322 is mounted on the second transmission shaft 311, and the first-secondary transmission gear 321 and the second-secondary transmission gear 322 mesh with each other. In this embodiment, the output shaft of the power component 30 is perpendicular to the first transmission shaft 310 and the second transmission shaft 311.
[0046] The transmission components are positioned as follows: the power unit 30 is installed in the mounting space of the base 1 body; the first transmission shaft 310 passes through the upper connecting part 200 of the massage housing 20, the ear part 12 of the base 1, and the lower connecting part 201 of the massage housing 20; the first-stage transmission gear 320 is installed in the ear part 12 of the base 1; the first and second-stage transmission gears 321 are installed in the lower connecting part 200 of the massage housing 20; the second and second-stage transmission gears 322 are installed in the massage housing 20 body; and the second transmission shaft 311 is installed in the massage housing 20 body, with one end extending out to connect with the massage component 21.
[0047] In this embodiment: two massage units 2, the first massage unit and the second massage unit, share a power component 30, and the first massage unit and the second massage unit are located on both sides of the power component 30. The power component 30 can be, for example, a dual-output shaft motor. Each of the two massage units 2 is equipped with a first transmission shaft 310, a second transmission shaft 311, and transmission gears. The layout design of the base 1, the massage units 2, and the transmission components also makes the overall structure of the massage mechanism relatively compact and simple.
[0048] During use: The output end of the power component 30 drives the primary transmission gear 320, which in turn drives the first transmission shaft 310, thereby driving the first and second transmission gears 321. The first and second transmission gears 321 drive the second and second transmission gears 322, which in turn drive the second transmission shaft 311. The second transmission shaft 311 drives the massage element 21 to rotate, simultaneously driving the two massage units 2 to perform massage. At the same time, due to external force rotating the massage element 21 or friction generated during massage, the massage element 21 transmits force to the first transmission shaft 310, causing the first transmission shaft 310 to drive the massage housing 20 to rotate, thereby adjusting the massage area and improving the comfort of the massage.
[0049] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
