Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the meridian massager of the first embodiment of this utility model includes a flexible massage component 10 and a rigid support component 70. The flexible massage component 10 has a plurality of massage protrusions 20 extending in a vertical direction. The rigid support component 70 is embedded inside the flexible massage component 10. The rigid massage component includes a main body 80 disposed within the flexible massage component 10 and support branches 90 extending from the main body 80 to each massage protrusion 20. Each support branch 90 corresponds to a massage protrusion 20, and each support branch 90 extends into the interior of the corresponding massage protrusion 20. Through the internal and external combination of the rigid support component 70 and the flexible massage component 10, the rigid support component 70, made of hard materials such as plastic or metal (cast iron or aluminum), ensures effective transmission of massage force, while the flexible massage component 10, made of flexible materials such as silicone, provides a comfortable massage feel. The silicone of the flexible massage component 10 has a hardness of 50 degrees to ensure a comfortable massage feel.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The flexible massage component 10 includes a first covering portion 30 covering the top surface of the rigid support component 70 and a second covering portion 40 covering the bottom surface of the rigid support component 70. The first covering portion 30 and the second covering portion 40 are connected to each other on the side of the rigid support component 70 to form a complete flexible massage component 10, covering the rigid support component 70. The flexible massage component 10 is formed by a step-by-step injection molding process. First, the second covering portion 40 is formed on the bottom surface of the rigid support component 70 through a first injection molding process, and then the first covering portion 30 is formed on the top surface of the rigid support component 70 through a second injection molding process. The first covering portion 30 and the second covering portion 40 are fused together on the side of the rigid support component 70 to form a complete covering. This step-by-step processing method can ensure that the flexible massage component 10 and the rigid support component 70 fit precisely and avoid uneven covering that may occur in a single molding process. At the same time, the first covering portion 30 can use the already formed second covering portion 40 as a positioning reference during injection molding, improving the overall assembly accuracy. It should be noted that in the actual product, the first covering part 30 and the second covering part 40 are an integral structure. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The exploded view of the structure is provided for illustrative purposes only. The step-by-step injection molding process of the flexible massage component 10 uses a molding temperature of 175-180°C, which ensures injection quality and avoids damage to the internal rigid support component 70.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 5The massage protrusions 20 of the flexible massage element 10 have a hollow structure, forming a receiving cavity 21 on the inner side of the massage protrusions 20. The receiving cavity 21 is used to accommodate the support branches 90 of the rigid support element 70. At the same time, the thickness of the massage protrusions 20 is 1.5-2.5mm, ensuring a soft touch while maintaining structural strength. The top of the flexible massage element 10 is provided with a grip recess 50, which includes a first finger recess 51, a second finger recess 52 located on one side of the first finger recess 51, and a third finger recess 53 located on the other side of the first finger recess 51. The first finger recess 51, the second finger recess 52, and the third finger recess 53 are respectively adapted to the user's middle finger, index finger, and ring finger grip, improving operating comfort and meeting ergonomic requirements. The top of the flexible massage element 10 is provided with an integrally formed hanging ring 60, which facilitates the hanging, storage, or carrying of the meridian massager. Meanwhile, a positioning post 11 is provided inside the flexible massage component 10 (specifically, the inner wall of the first covering part 30).

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The main body 80 includes a vertically extending disc portion 81 and an arc-shaped protrusion 82 that protrudes upward from the upper surface of the disc portion 81. The top of the arc-shaped protrusion 82 is provided with a positioning hole 83 for fixing with the positioning post 11 of the flexible massage component 10. Support branches 90 extend downward from the lower surface of the disc portion 81, and are radially and evenly distributed with respect to the center of the disc portion 81. This means that the distribution positions of the massage protrusions 20 correspond to the support branches 90, ensuring the uniformity of the massage. The support branches 90 include a cylindrical section 91 and a hemispherical head 92. The hemispherical head 92 is designed to avoid stress concentration and ensure the uniform transmission of massage force.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, this is the second embodiment of the meridian massager provided by this utility model. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the meridian massager in the second embodiment does not have a grip recess 50. The grip recess 50 can be selected for inclusion or exclusion based on production needs.

[0036] Compared to existing technologies, the meridian massager of this invention, through a composite nested structure of a rigid support 70 and a flexible massage component 10, balances comfort and massage intensity. Specifically, the internal rigid support 70 provides stable mechanical support, ensuring that the massage intensity can be fully transmitted to the acupoints. The external flexible massage component 10 uses an elastomer, which deforms moderately during use, effectively relieving pressure on the scalp. This ensures effective transmission of massage intensity while avoiding pain during use due to the cushioning effect of the flexible body. In addition, the flexible massage component 10 adopts a step-by-step molding design of the first covering part 30 and the second covering part 40, effectively solving the precision control problem when combining metal and silicone parts. This process not only ensures the accurate positioning of each component of the product but also significantly improves the reliability of the overall structure, avoiding problems such as deformation and cracking that are easily caused by traditional one-piece molding processes.

[0037] The above description merely illustrates the preferred technical solution of this utility model, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
