Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of health care device technology, and in particular to a support device and a massage device. Background Technology

[0002] Massage devices, as health care instruments to relieve or eliminate physical fatigue, are becoming increasingly popular due to their flexibility and convenience. To achieve better massage effects, targeted massage devices are usually designed according to the structural characteristics of different parts of the human body, such as neck massage devices, waist massage devices, and dual-area massage devices.

[0003] In related technologies, some massage devices use two support components to carry massage elements. The massage range is adjustable by changing the distance or angle between these components to accommodate the needs of people with different body types. To reduce the size of the massage device, these devices typically use a drive mechanism with a power source to move the massage elements on the two support components. In this case, the drive mechanism needs to be protected by a housing assembly, which is also connected to the support components. To avoid motion interference, the housing assembly needs to have sufficient clearance. However, this results in an excessively large housing assembly, making the overall massage device quite bulky. Utility Model Content

[0004] This disclosure provides a support device and a massage device. The support device has a compact structure and small size, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of the massage device.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a support device is provided, including a support assembly and a housing assembly. The support assembly is used to support at least one massage component, and includes two support assemblies. The housing assembly includes a first housing fixedly connected to one of the support assemblies and a second housing fixedly connected to the other support assembly. The second housing cooperates with the first housing to form a first protective cavity for protecting at least a portion of a drive mechanism, and the second housing is rotatably connected to the first housing. The rotation axis of the first housing is collinear with the power axis of the drive mechanism. The housing assembly further includes a swing arm, and at least one of the first housing and the second housing is fixedly connected to the support assembly via the swing arm.

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

[0008] In one embodiment, the swing arm has a connecting portion that is fixedly connected to the load-bearing component, and the connecting portion is disposed in a direction away from the first housing and the second housing.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first protective cavity is provided with a clearance notch; when the supporting device is in a flattened state, the connecting part is lower than the clearance notch along the height direction of the first housing.

[0010] In one embodiment, the support device further includes a retractable elastic shield fixed between one of the support components and the other support component for shielding the clearance gap.

[0011] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the second housing is provided with a first limiting protrusion and second limiting protrusions spaced circumferentially along the second housing. The support assembly is provided with a first detection switch that engages with the first limiting protrusion and a second detection switch that engages with the second limiting protrusion. When the first housing is in a first extreme position, the first limiting protrusion engages with the first detection switch to send a first anti-rotation signal. When the first housing is in a second extreme position, the second limiting protrusion engages with the second detection switch to send a second anti-rotation signal.

[0012] Alternatively, the outer wall of the second housing is provided with a first limiting protrusion and a second limiting protrusion spaced circumferentially from the first limiting protrusion. The load-bearing assembly fixedly connected to the second housing is provided with a first blocking portion that engages with the first limiting protrusion and a second blocking portion that engages with the second limiting protrusion. When the first housing is in a first extreme position, the first limiting protrusion and the first blocking portion engage in a non-rotational engagement. When the first housing is in a second extreme position, the second limiting protrusion and the second blocking portion engage in a non-rotational engagement.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first housing is integrally formed with the swing arm.

[0014] And / or, the second housing is integrally formed with the swing arm.

[0015] In one embodiment, the support assembly includes a support shell and a protective shell. The support shell includes a support body, which includes a first connecting portion for connecting the massage component, a second connecting portion for fixedly connecting with a first shell or a second shell, and a first mounting area. The first mounting area is used to mount a transmission mechanism that is connected to the drive mechanism. The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are spaced apart and located around the periphery of the first mounting area. The protective shell is fixedly connected to the support shell and forms a second protective cavity. At least one of the support shell and the protective shell is provided with a first notch for avoiding the massage component and a second notch for avoiding the first shell and the second shell. The first notch and the second notch are spaced apart and communicate with the second protective cavity respectively. At least a portion of the first connecting portion is exposed outside the first notch, at least a portion of the second connecting portion is exposed outside the second notch, and the first mounting area is located inside the second protective cavity.

[0016] In one embodiment, one of the first housing and the second housing is provided with a limiting structure, and the other is provided with a control structure; the control structure cooperates with the limiting structure to control the first housing to rotate or be fixed relative to the second housing.

[0017] And / or, a damping structure is provided between the first housing and the second housing to allow the first housing to hover relative to the second housing.

[0018] In one embodiment, the limiting structure includes an internal gear fixed to the first housing, and the control structure includes a control gear set meshing with the internal gear, the control gear set being rotatably disposed in the second housing. The supporting device further includes a drive unit disposed in the first housing for driving the control gear set to rotate. When the drive unit drives the internal gear to rotate via the control gear set, it drives the first housing to rotate relative to the second housing. When the drive unit controls the control gear set to stop rotating, the first housing and the second housing are relatively fixed.

[0019] Alternatively, the limiting structure includes a first limiting portion disposed on the second housing, and the control structure includes a control member movably disposed on the first housing, the control member having a second limiting portion. When the control member is in the limiting state, the second limiting portion engages with the first limiting portion to fix the first housing relative to the second housing. When the control member is in the releasing state, the second limiting portion separates from the first limiting portion, allowing the first housing to rotate relative to the second housing.

[0020] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a massage element, a drive mechanism, a transmission mechanism, and a support device as described in any of the above embodiments are also provided; the massage element is movably connected to the support component and is driven by the transmission mechanism; the drive mechanism includes a power shaft disposed in a first protective cavity, the power shaft having a power axis and being driven by the transmission mechanism to drive the massage element to move.

[0021] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure have at least the following beneficial effects:

[0022] During assembly, at least a portion of the drive mechanism is housed within the first protective cavity, enhancing its protective performance and preventing foreign objects from entering the transmission gaps and causing damage or jamming. At least one of the first and second housings is fixedly connected to a support component via a swing arm, while the other is fixedly connected to another support component. The relative rotation of the first and second housings allows for an adjustable angle between the two support components. The swing arm provides sufficient installation and clearance space between the support components and the housing components, ensuring the support components do not interfere with the rotation of the first and second housings. This reduces the volume of the first protective space, resulting in smaller first and second housings and a more compact structure after assembly with the drive mechanism and support components. Finally, the support component integrates the transmission mechanism and massage elements, facilitating connection to the transmission mechanism via a power shaft to drive the massage elements, thus adjusting the massage range of the massage elements on both support components. This compact structure and small size of the support device contribute to the miniaturization of massage equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this disclosure clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and do not limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0046] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this disclosure.

[0047] Massage devices, as health care tools to relieve or eliminate physical fatigue, are becoming increasingly popular due to their flexibility and convenience. To achieve better massage effects, targeted massage devices are often designed based on the structural characteristics of different parts of the body, such as neck massagers, waist massagers, and so on. Currently, there are numerous types and brands of massage devices available, giving consumers a wide range of choices. Therefore, how to win consumer favor and enhance product competitiveness has become an increasingly important issue for massage device manufacturers.

[0048] Currently, with the increasing prevalence of sedentary work and lifestyles, people are prone to neck and / or shoulder discomfort, leading to a growing market demand for massage devices that can massage these areas. For example, a shoulder and neck massager is specifically designed for the curves of the shoulder and neck. It uses shoulder massagers to massage and relax shoulder muscles, effectively relieving shoulder muscle fatigue. Simultaneously, it uses neck massagers to massage and relax neck muscles, effectively relieving neck muscle fatigue.

[0049] In related technologies, some massage devices use two support components to support massage elements. The massage range of the massage elements can be adjusted by changing the distance or angle between the support components to accommodate the massage needs of people with different body types. For example, the distance between the two support components can be adjusted, allowing for adjustment of the distance between the massage elements and the massage range of the two elements. Alternatively, the angle between the two support components can be adjusted, allowing for adjustment of both the distance between the massage ranges of the massage elements and the massage angle of the massage elements.

[0050] To reduce the size of massage devices, these devices typically utilize a drive mechanism with a power source to move the massage elements on two supporting components. In this case, the drive mechanism needs to be protected by a housing assembly, which also needs to connect to the supporting components. To avoid motion interference, the housing assembly needs to have sufficient clearance. However, this results in an excessively large housing assembly, making the overall massage device bulky and hindering miniaturization.

[0051] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a support device. The support device has a compact structure and small size, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of massage devices.

[0052] To better understand the support device of this disclosure, the following description uses a massage device that applies the support device.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in some embodiments, a massage device 1 is provided, including a massage element 10, a drive mechanism 20, a transmission mechanism 30, and a support device 40. The massage element 10, the drive mechanism 20, and the transmission mechanism 30 are integrated into the support device 40. The drive mechanism 20 is drively connected to the transmission mechanism 30 to drive the massage element 10 to move.

[0054] Among them, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the drive mechanism 20 includes a drive shaft 21 with a power shaft 21 line. The support device 40 includes a support assembly 200, a first housing 110, and a second housing 120. The support assembly 200 is used to support at least the massage element 10, and there are two support assemblies 200. The first housing 110 is fixedly connected to one of the support assemblies 200. The second housing 120 is fixedly connected to the other support assembly 200. The second housing 120 and the first housing 110 cooperate to form a first protective cavity 101 for protecting at least a portion of the drive mechanism 20, and the second housing 120 is rotatably connected to the first housing 110. The rotation axis 41 of the first housing 110 is collinear with the power shaft 21 line of the drive mechanism 20. At least one of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 is provided with a swing arm 130 for fixed connection with the support assembly 200.

[0055] During assembly, at least a portion of the drive mechanism 20 is housed within the first protective cavity 101, enhancing the protection of the drive mechanism 20 and preventing foreign objects from entering the transmission gaps of the drive mechanism 20, which could lead to damage or jamming. At least one of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 is fixedly connected to the support component 200 via a swing arm 130, and the other is fixedly connected to another support component 200. The relative rotation of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 allows for an adjustable angle between the two support components 200. The swing arm 130 provides sufficient installation and clearance space between the support component 200 and the housing component 100, ensuring that the support component 200 does not interfere with the rotation of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. This, in turn, helps to reduce the volume of the first protective space, resulting in smaller volumes of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, and a more compact structure after assembly with the drive mechanism 20 and the support component 200. Finally, the transmission mechanism 30 and the massage element 10 are integrated through the support component 200, which facilitates connection with the transmission mechanism 30 via the power shaft 21 to drive the massage element 10 to move, thereby making the massage range of the massage element 10 on the two support components 200 adjustable. In this way, the support device 40 has a compact structure and small size, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the massage device 1.

[0056] Furthermore, it is understandable that when the first housing 110 drives the support assembly 200 to rotate to adjust the position between the massage components 10 of the two support assemblies 200, since the rotation axis 41 of the first housing 110 is on the same straight line as the power shaft 21 of the drive mechanism 20, eccentric movement of the first housing 110 and the support assembly 200 relative to the power shaft 21 can be avoided, reducing motion interference and making the structure of the massage device 1 more compact. This allows the support device 40 to be used to mount the massage components, drive the massage components to move, and adjust the massage range of the massage components, resulting in a compact structure and small footprint. Furthermore, by applying this support device 40, the massage device 1 can be further reduced in size, facilitating miniaturization.

[0057] It should be noted that there are various ways to implement the first housing 110 and / or the second housing 120, including forming it using only one housing, splicing it together from multiple housings, or splicing it together from multiple components.

[0058] Furthermore, there are various ways to implement the first protective cavity 101 formed by the cooperation of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, including but not limited to one of the first housing 110 and / or the second housing 120 having a receiving groove.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first housing 110 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 130. This ensures that the first housing 110 and the load-bearing assembly 200 have sufficient installation space and clearance space.

[0060] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, optionally, in some embodiments, the first housing 110 and the swing arm 130 are integrally formed. This reduces assembly steps and improves the assembly efficiency of the housing assembly 100.

[0061] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the second housing 120 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 130. This ensures that the second housing 120 and the load-bearing assembly 200 have sufficient installation space and clearance space.

[0062] Optionally, in some embodiments, the second housing 120 is integrally formed with the swing arm 130. This reduces assembly steps and improves the assembly efficiency of the housing assembly 100.

[0063] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the swing arm 130 is provided with a connecting portion 131 fixedly connected to the support assembly 200, and the connecting portion 131 is arranged in a direction away from the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. Thus, when the housing assembly 100 is connected to the support assembly 200 via the swing arm 130, the connecting portion 131 is positioned away from the housing assembly 100, providing sufficient installation space between it and the support assembly 200, facilitating installation with the support assembly 200. Furthermore, the housing assembly 100 supports the movement of the support assembly 200 via the swing arm 130, ensuring sufficient clearance between the support assembly 200 and the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the swing arm 130 is inclined. This makes it easier to avoid other structures (such as the protective housing 220) so that the connecting part 131 is positioned away from the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0065] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown in one example, the swing arm 130 is inclined and fixedly connected to the first housing 110.

[0066] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first protective cavity 101 is provided with a clearance notch 102. When the support device 40 is in a flattened state, the connecting portion 131 is lower than the clearance notch 102 along the height direction of the first housing 110. Thus, when the support assembly 200 contacts a support surface such as a table, ground, or bed surface to place the massage device 1, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be suspended in the air because the connecting portion 131 is lower than the clearance notch 102. This avoids or reduces the possibility of protrusions on the support surface inserting into the first protective cavity 101 through the clearance notch 102, causing damage or jamming to the drive mechanism 20.

[0067] Understandably, "flattened state" should be interpreted broadly, including the two drive shafts 33 being on the same axis.

[0068] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the supporting device 40 further includes a retractable elastic shield 300, which is fixed between one of the supporting components 200 and the other supporting component 200 to shield the clearance notch 102. Thus, by providing the clearance notch 102, the rotation of the first housing 110 will not interfere with the movement of the drive mechanism 20. Furthermore, the elastic shield 300 not only shields the clearance notch 102, ensuring the protective performance of the first protective cavity 101, but also allows the elastic shield 300 to fold and is elastic, without affecting the rotation between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0069] Understandably, at least one of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 is fixedly connected to the bearing assembly 200 via the swing arm 130, which effectively reduces motion interference. This also helps to reduce the area of ​​the clearance notch 102, making the housing assembly 100 and the drive assembly fit together more closely.

[0070] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the elastic shielding member 300 includes multiple bending structures to avoid interfering with the relative rotation of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0071] Optionally, the material of the elastic shielding element 300 may include silicone, rubber, elastic fabric, etc.

[0072] It should be noted that there can be various specific embodiments of the load-bearing component 200, including but not limited to load-bearing frame, load-bearing plate, load-bearing block, load-bearing box, load-bearing frame, etc.

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the support assembly 200 includes a support shell 210 and a protective shell 220. The support shell 210 includes a support body 211, which includes a first connecting portion 2111 for connecting the massage component 10, a second connecting portion 2112 for fixedly connecting with the first shell 110 or the second shell 120, and a first mounting area 2113. The first mounting area 2113 is used to mount the transmission mechanism 30, which is transmittedly connected to the drive mechanism 20. The first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2112 are spaced apart around the first mounting area 2113. The protective shell 220 and the support body 210 are connected together. The carrier shell 210 is fixedly connected, forming a second protective cavity 201. At least one of the carrier shell 210 and the protective shell 220 has a first notch 202 for avoiding the massage component 10 and a second notch 203 for avoiding the first shell 110 and the second shell 120. The first notch 202 and the second notch 203 are spaced apart and communicate with the second protective cavity 201. At least a portion of the first connecting portion 2111 is exposed through the first notch 202, and at least a portion of the second connecting portion 2112 is exposed through the second notch 203. A first mounting area 2113 is disposed within the second protective cavity 201. Thus, during assembly of the massage device 1, at least a portion of the drive mechanism 20 is disposed within the first protective cavity 101, improving the protection performance of the drive mechanism 20 and preventing foreign objects from entering the transmission gaps of the drive mechanism 20, which could cause damage or jamming. Then, the housing or swing arm 130 is fixedly connected to the second connecting part 2112, so that the housing drives the carrier body 211 to rotate, thereby adjusting the included angle between the two carrier bodies 211, and thus adjusting the distance and angle between the massage ranges of the massage elements 10 on the two carrier bodies 211. Next, the transmission mechanism 30 is integrated into the first mounting area 2113, so that the massage element 10 is connected to the transmission mechanism 30, and the massage element 10 is connected to the carrier body 211 through the first connecting part 2111. Finally, the protective shell 220 is fixedly connected to the carrier shell 210, protecting the transmission mechanism 30 in the second protective cavity 201, preventing foreign objects from entering the transmission gap of the transmission mechanism 30, which could cause damage or jamming to the transmission mechanism 30. In this way, both the transmission mechanism 30 and the drive mechanism 20 can be protected by the protective cavity, which can effectively improve the protective performance of the massage device 1, and thus extend the service life of the massage device 1.

[0074] Furthermore, because the first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2112 are spaced apart, there is no motion interference between the massage element 10 and the housing assembly 100. The periphery of the first mounting area 2113 of the first connecting portion 2111 and the second connecting portion 2112 prevents motion interference between the massage element 10 and the housing assembly 100 and the transmission mechanism 30. Moreover, the first notch 202 avoids movement of the massage element 10, preventing motion interference between the massage element 10 and the support assembly 200. And the second notch 203 avoids rotation of the housing assembly 100, preventing motion interference between the housing assembly 100 and the support assembly 200. Thus, the support device 40 can adjust the massage range of the massage element 10 and avoid motion interference, effectively improving the service life and reliability of the massage device 1.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one of the protective shell 220 and the supporting shell 210 is provided with a groove 2011 for forming the second protective cavity 201. Thus, the second protective cavity 201 is easily formed using the groove 2011. For example, the protective shell 220 is provided with the groove 2011, and the supporting shell 210 is covered to form the second protective cavity 201. Alternatively, the supporting shell 210 is provided with the groove 2011, and the protective shell 220 covers the groove 2011 to form the second protective cavity 201. For another example, such as... Figure 8 As shown, both the protective shell 220 and the supporting shell 210 are provided with grooves 2011. After the two are spliced ​​and fixed, the two grooves 2011 are connected to form a second protective cavity 201.

[0076] like Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the support shell 210 includes a shell body 212 with a groove 2011. The shell body 212 is fixedly connected to the protective shell 220, and the support body 211 is fixedly disposed within the shell body 212. Thus, the groove 2011 is formed by the shell body 212, facilitating the use of the support body 211 to support the massage component 10 and the transmission assembly. The support body 211 is then installed into the groove 2011 on the shell body 212, and finally, the protective shell 220 is placed on top, thus placing the transmission assembly and part of the massage component 10 within the second protective cavity 201. This method is easy to assemble and ensures the protective performance of the massage device 1.

[0077] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting part 2111 is provided with a hinge hole 2101 that is ball-joined with the massage member 10. In this way, the massage member 10 is ball-joined with the hinge hole 2101, so that the massage member 10 can swing to achieve kneading massage.

[0078] like Figure 6 as well as Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the shell body 212 includes a first side plate 2121 with a first notch 202 and a second side plate 2122 with a second notch 203 spaced apart from the first side plate 2121. A second connecting portion 2112 is disposed between the first side plate 2121 and the second side plate 2122. Thus, the first notch 202 is disposed on the first side plate 2121, which facilitates its offset from the second notch 203, thereby also offsetting the massage member 10 from the shell assembly 100, effectively preventing interference between the two.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the protective housing 220 is provided with a slot 222 forming a second notch 203. At least a portion of the second connecting portion 2112 is exposed in the slot 222 in the direction away from the first mounting area 2113. This facilitates the fixed connection of the second connecting portion 2112 with the first housing 110 or the swing arm 130, making operation more convenient.

[0080] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the first side plate 2121 and the second side plate 2122 are provided with inclined walls 2123 that connect with the edge of the slot 222. The inclined wall 2123 includes a first end located away from the first mounting area 2113 and a second end connected to the edge of the slot 222. Along the direction from the first end to the second end, the inclined wall 2123 is inclined towards the first mounting area 2113. In this way, by utilizing the inclined wall 2123, the protective space of the second protective cavity 201 is increased as much as possible while avoiding motion interference, thereby improving the protective effect of the supporting component 200.

[0081] Optionally, such as Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the shell body 212 is further provided with a first notch 202, and at least a portion of the first connecting portion 2111 protrudes from the outside of the first notch 202. In this way, the massage member 10 has a larger range of motion, and the first notch 202 can effectively prevent the massage member 10 from interfering with the movement of the supporting shell 210.

[0082] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing body 212 has a groove 2011. Thus, by partially spacing the support body 211 and the housing body 212, a clearance cavity can be formed to accommodate other massage devices. For example, when the massage member 10 has a large swing range, the transmission structure of the transmission assembly also needs a large range of motion. In this case, the clearance cavity can be used to avoid the transmission structure, ensuring that the massage member 10 can move according to the set massage range.

[0083] See you later Figure 3 As shown, this clearance cavity is also used to accommodate devices such as batteries.

[0084] like Figure 3 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a gear unit 31, and the first mounting area 2113 is provided with a first mounting portion 2102 for mounting the gear unit 31. The support assembly 200 also includes an inner shell 230, which is fixed to the first mounting area 2113 and cooperates with the support body 211 to form a third protective cavity 231 for protecting the gear unit 31. In this way, the gear unit 31 can be easily mounted on the support body 211 through the first mounting portion 2102, and can be offset from the second connecting portion 2112 and the first connecting portion 2111, so that the gear unit 31 will not interfere with the movement of the housing assembly 100 and the massage member 10 during rotation. In addition, by providing the inner shell 230, it is convenient to use the third protective cavity 231 to protect the gear unit 31, which can prevent external foreign objects from entering the gear unit 31 and avoid or reduce the loss of lubricant, which is beneficial to improving the lubrication effect of the gear unit 31.

[0085] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly further includes a drive shaft 33 that drives the gear unit 31. The inner shell 230 is provided with a clearance hole 233 to avoid the drive shaft 33, and the clearance hole 233 communicates with the third protective cavity 231. In this way, the drive assembly can drive the drive shaft 33 to rotate, and drive the gear unit 31 to rotate through the drive shaft 33, thereby enabling the transmission assembly to drive the two massage members 10 to move.

[0086] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner shell 230 is provided with a third connecting portion 232 for connecting another massage element 10. The protective shell 220 is provided with a third notch 221 to avoid the other massage element 10, and the third connecting portion 232 is exposed through the third notch 221. The protective shell 220 is provided with a cylindrical body 223 communicating with the third protective cavity 231. The cylindrical body 223 protrudes from the third protective cavity 231 and is provided with the third notch 221. In this way, the other massage element 10 passes through the third notch 221 and connects with the third connecting portion 232, which facilitates the integration of the other massage element 10 into the upper part of the inner shell 230, thereby facilitating neck massage using the massage element 10.

[0087] Optionally, such as Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the third connecting portion 232 includes a through hole 2321 that rotatably engages with another massage member 10. This allows the rotating shaft driven by the gear unit 31 to pass through the through hole 2321 to drive the other massage member 10 to move.

[0088] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a linkage unit 32 that is connected to the gear unit 31. The first mounting area 2113 is provided with a second mounting portion 2103 for mounting the linkage unit 32. The inner shell 230 is provided with a fourth notch 234 that avoids the linkage unit 32, and the fourth notch 234 faces the first notch 202. In this way, the linkage unit 32 is mounted on the support body 211 through the second mounting portion 2103, which facilitates the movement of the linkage unit 32 by the gear unit 31, and the movement of the massage member 10 by the linkage unit 32. At this time, by providing the fourth notch 234, the linkage unit 32 can be directly connected to the gear unit 31, and the fourth notch 234 is used to avoid motion interference between the linkage unit 32 and the inner shell 230.

[0089] The carrier body 211 can be implemented in various ways, including as a carrier plate, a carrier bracket, etc. In one embodiment, the carrier body 211 includes a carrier bracket.

[0090] like Figures 10 to 13 As shown, in some embodiments, one of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 is provided with a limiting structure 140, and the other is provided with a control structure 150. The control structure 150 cooperates with the limiting structure 140 to control the rotation or fixation of the first housing 110 relative to the second housing 120. This support device 40 integrates the limiting structure 140 and the control structure 150 onto the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 respectively, so that the control structure 150 cooperates with the limiting structure 140 to control the rotation or fixation of the second housing 120 relative to the first housing 110. Simultaneously, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can form a first protective cavity 101 to protect at least a portion of the power mechanism, improving the protective performance of the power mechanism without affecting the adjustment of the massage range of the massage component. Thus, the support device 40 can integrate part of the moving structure, and has a compact structure and small size, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of the massage device 1.

[0091] Understandably, the change in the swing angle of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 causes changes in the angle and distance between the first and second massage components, thereby changing the massage range of the first and second massage components and enabling different massage needs to be met. Compared with conventional technology, integrating the limiting structure 140 and the control structure 150 onto the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 respectively to adjust the massage range of the massage components effectively reduces motion interference, making the structure of the supporting device 40 more compact and smaller in size. This also makes the massage device 1 more compact and smaller in size, which is beneficial for the miniaturization of the massage device 1.

[0092] It should be noted that there are various ways to implement the limiting structure 140 and the control structure 150, including but not limited to the limiting cooperation of the convex and concave parts, the locking cooperation, etc., as long as they can control the rotation or fixation of the second housing 120.

[0093] like Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the limiting structure 140 includes an internal gear 141 fixed to the first housing 110, and the control structure 150 includes a control gear set 151 meshing with the internal gear 141. The control gear set 151 is rotatably disposed in the second housing 120. The supporting device 40 also includes a drive unit 400 disposed in the first housing 110 for driving the control gear set 151 to rotate. When the drive unit 400 drives the internal gear 141 to rotate via the control gear set 151, it drives the first housing 110 to rotate relative to the second housing 120. When the drive unit 400 controls the control gear set 151 to stop rotating, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are relatively fixed. Thus, through the cooperation of the internal gear 141 and the control gear set 151, it is easy to control the rotation or stop the rotation of the internal gear 141, thereby causing the second housing 120 to rotate or be fixed. When the child starts the output power using the drive unit 400, it can drive the internal gear 141 to rotate by controlling the gear set 151, thereby realizing the rotation between the second housing 120 and the first housing 110, and realizing the adjustment of the distance and angle between the first massage member 10 and the second massage member 10.

[0094] Furthermore, the internal gear 141 is fixed to the first housing 110, and the control gear set 151 is rotatably mounted on the second housing 120. This facilitates assembly and reduces assembly difficulty.

[0095] It should be noted that the specific number of gears in the control gear set can be selected according to actual needs, as long as it can drive the internal gear to rotate.

[0096] In some embodiments, the control gear set includes a driving gear and at least one driven gear meshing with the driving gear. The driving gear is rotatably mounted on a gear carrier. At least one driven gear is rotatably mounted on the gear carrier and meshes with an internal gear. A drive unit is used to drive the driving gear to rotate. Thus, when it is necessary to adjust the massage range of the first massage component and the second massage component, the drive unit drives the driving gear to rotate, which in turn drives the internal gear to rotate via the driven gear, thereby causing the first housing to rotate relative to the second housing. When it is necessary to fix the massage range of the first massage component and the second massage component, the drive unit stops outputting power, fixing the driving gear, which in turn limits the rotation of the driven gear, fixing the internal gear, and thus fixing the first housing and the second housing relative to each other.

[0097] It should be noted that there are various ways to implement the drive unit, including but not limited to using a rotary power source to directly or intermittently drive the control gear set to rotate, or using a linear power source + linear-to-rotary transmission mechanism to drive the control gear set to rotate (for example, a linear motor + gear and rack assembly to drive the control gear set to rotate).

[0098] like Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive unit 400 includes a turbine 430, a worm gear 420 that are driven by the drive gear 1511, and a motor 410 fixed to the second housing 120. The output shaft of the motor 410 is fixedly connected to the worm gear 420, and the turbine 430 is driven by the worm gear 420. In this way, the motor 410 drives the turbine 430 to rotate through the worm gear 420, and the turbine 430 drives the drive gear 1511 of the control gear set 151 to rotate, so that the distance between the motor 410 and the drive gear 1511 can be flexibly set, reducing the difficulty of arranging the drive unit 400 and the drive gear 1511.

[0099] like Figure 13 As shown, in other embodiments, the limiting structure 140 includes a first limiting portion 142 disposed on the second housing 120, and the control structure 150 includes a control member 152 movably disposed on the first housing 110, the control member 152 having a second limiting portion 1521. When the control member 152 is in the limiting state, the second limiting portion 1521 engages with the first limiting portion 142 to limit and fix the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 relative to each other. When the control member 152 is in the releasing state, the second limiting portion 1521 separates from the first limiting portion 142, allowing the first housing 110 to rotate relative to the second housing 120. Thus, by manually operating the control member 152, the control member 152 can be switched between the limiting state and the releasing state, making it easy to control the first housing 110.

[0100] It should be noted that the first limiting part 142 and the second limiting part 1521 can be implemented in various ways. For example, the first limiting part 142 may include multiple limiting holes, and the second limiting part 1521 may include a limiting protrusion that engages with the limiting holes. Alternatively, the first limiting part 142 may include multiple limiting protrusions, and the second limiting part 1521 may include a limiting hole that engages with the limiting holes. Alternatively, the first limiting hole may include multiple locking parts, and the second limiting part 1521 may include a locking tongue that engages with the locking parts.

[0101] Optionally, such as Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the first limiting portion 142 includes a limiting tooth, and the second limiting portion 1521 includes a mating tooth that meshes with the limiting tooth. Thus, when the control member 152 is in the limiting state, the engagement of the mating tooth and the limiting tooth securely fixes the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 relative to each other. The limiting tooth and the mating tooth are easily separated, facilitating the switching of the control member 152 from the limiting state to the released state, or vice versa.

[0102] like Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the control member 152 is swayably mounted on the first housing 110, and one end of the control member 152 is provided with a second limiting part 1521, and the other end is provided with a locking part 1522. The first housing 110 is provided with an elastic buckle part 111, which engages with the locking part 1522 to lock the control member 152 in the limited state. Thus, when the elastic buckle part 111 engages with the locking part 1522, the control member 152 is reliably locked in the limited state, so that the second housing 120 and the first housing 110 are securely fixed. When the elastic buckle part 111 is deformed, the locking part 1522 is easily released, allowing the control member 152 to switch to the released state.

[0103] like Figure 14 As shown, in some other embodiments, a damping structure 160 is provided between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 to allow the first housing 110 to hover relative to the second housing 120. Thus, when the massage device 1 is in use, by integrating the damping structure 160 onto the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, the first housing 110 is hovered relative to the second housing 120, enabling the two supporting components 200 to rotate and stop instantly.

[0104] Furthermore, by setting a damping structure 160, the first housing 110 is suspended relative to the second housing 120, achieving instant rotation and stop. This allows the user to adjust the distance and angle between the massage components 10 of the two supporting components 200 by rotating the second housing 120, thereby adjusting the massage range of the two massage components to suit the user's massage needs. In some embodiments, when the rotational force on the second housing 120 is greater than the resistance generated by the damping structure 160, the second housing 120 rotates relative to the first housing 110. When the rotational force on the second housing 120 is less than or equal to the resistance generated by the damping structure 160, the second housing 120 is fixed relative to the first housing 110. Thus, when the user uses the massage device 1 for massage, if the massage range of the massage component cannot effectively massage the massage area, force is applied to rotate the second housing 120, so that the rotational force on the second housing 120 is less than or equal to the resistance generated by the damping structure 160, causing it to rotate relative to the first housing 110, thereby adjusting the massage component to a suitable position for effective massage of the massage area. When the user stops rotating the second housing 120, the rotational force on the second housing 120 is less than or equal to the resistance generated by the damping structure 160. The second housing 120 is fixed relative to the first housing 110, so that the massage assembly can maintain the adjusted massage range to massage the massage area.

[0105] It should be noted that the phrase "the first housing 110 is suspended relative to the second housing 120" should be interpreted broadly. That is, applying force to rotate the first housing 110 and / or the second housing 120 changes the angle between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. After the applied force is stopped, the first housing 110 is suspended relative to the second housing 120.

[0106] Furthermore, hovering is a relative concept. "The first housing hovering relative to the second housing" can also be understood as applying a certain rotational force to the first housing, allowing it to rotate, and then removing or reducing that rotational force so that the first housing does not rotate, thus hovering relative to the second housing. This also means the first housing is hovering relative to the second housing.

[0107] It should be noted that "hovering" can be understood as the ability of a rotating component to remain in a certain position when no driving force is applied. For example, applying a certain rotational force to the first housing allows it to rotate, while removing or reducing this force allows it to remain stationary in a certain position. Similarly, applying a certain rotational force to the second housing allows it to rotate, while removing or reducing this force allows it to remain stationary in a certain position.

[0108] It should be noted that the damping structure can be installed on any rotating component in the rotatable connection between the first and second housings, as long as it meets the above requirements.

[0109] It should be noted that the "damping structure" can also be implemented in other ways. For example, friction plates can be used to increase the rotational friction between the first and second housings. Alternatively, elastic elements can be used to increase the rotational resistance between the first and second housings. Or, magnetic elements can be used to increase the rotational resistance between the first and second housings, etc. Alternatively, the damped rotation of the first housing can be achieved by using the cooperation of multiple damping protrusions and grooves.

[0110] like Figure 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the second housing 120 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 112 and a second limiting protrusion 113 spaced circumferentially from the first limiting protrusion 112. The support assembly 200 is provided with a first detection switch 500 that triggers and engages with the first limiting protrusion 112 and a second detection switch 600 that triggers and engages with the second limiting protrusion 113. When the first housing 110 is in a first extreme position, the first limiting protrusion 112 triggers and engages with the first detection switch 500 to send a first anti-rotation signal. When the first housing 110 is in a second extreme position, the second limiting protrusion 113 triggers and engages with the second detection switch 600 to send a second anti-rotation signal. Thus, through the triggering action of the first detection switch 500 and the first limiting protrusion 112, a first anti-rotation signal can be generated in a timely manner, indicating that the first housing 110 is in a first extreme position. This facilitates the control of the rotation of the first housing 110 and / or the second housing 120, keeping them relatively fixed to prevent excessive rotation that could cause interference or collision with other structures and result in damage. Similarly, through the triggering action of the second detection switch 600 and the second limiting protrusion 113, a second anti-rotation signal can be generated in a timely manner, indicating that the first housing 110 is in a second extreme position. This facilitates the control of the rotation of the first housing 110 and / or the second housing 120, keeping them relatively fixed to prevent excessive rotation that could cause interference or collision with other structures and result in damage.

[0111] In conjunction with the aforementioned embodiment of the drive unit 400, the first anti-rotation information and the second anti-rotation information can be used to control the drive unit 400 to stop moving through the controller of the massage device 1, so that the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are relatively fixed.

[0112] like Figure 16As shown, in some embodiments, the outer wall of the second housing 120 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 112 and second limiting protrusions 113 spaced circumferentially along the second housing 120. The support assembly 200, fixedly connected to the second housing 120, is provided with a first blocking portion 204 that limits and cooperates with the first limiting protrusion 112 and a second blocking portion 205 that limits and cooperates with the second limiting protrusion 113. When the first housing 110 is in the first extreme position, the first limiting protrusion 112 and the first blocking portion 204 engage in a non-rotational engagement. When the first housing 110 is in the second extreme position, the second limiting protrusion 113 and the second blocking portion 205 engage in a non-rotational engagement. Thus, by the non-rotational engagement of the first blocking portion 204 and the first limiting protrusion 112, the first housing 110 is positioned in the first extreme position, and the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be relatively fixed to avoid excessive rotation that could cause movement interference or collision with other structures and result in damage. The second blocking part 205 and the second limiting protrusion 113 cooperate to prevent rotation, so that the first housing 110 is in the second limit position, and the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be relatively fixed to avoid excessive rotation and interference or collision with other structures, which would cause damage.

[0113] Combined with the aforementioned damping structure 160, it can effectively prevent the first housing 110 from over-rotating and interfering with or colliding with other structures, thus avoiding damage.

[0114] It should be noted that the drive mechanism 20 can be implemented in various ways, including but not limited to a rotary power source 22 + flexible transmission mechanism 30 (e.g., pulley mechanism, chain mechanism, etc.), a rotary power source 22 + gear transmission mechanism 30 (e.g., multi-gear mechanism, etc.), a rotary power source 22 + linkage mechanism (e.g., double swing mechanism, cam mechanism, etc.), a telescopic drive mechanism 20, etc., which can drive the massage pieces 10 on the two bearing components 200 to move synchronously.

[0115] See you later Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive mechanism 20 further includes a power source 22 connected to the power shaft 21, an active member 23 disposed on the power shaft 21, a first driven member 24 for driving the massage member 10 on one of the support components 200 to move, and a second driven member 25 for driving the massage member 10 on the other support component 200 to move. The active member 23 drives the first driven member 24 and the second driven member 25 to rotate. Thus, the power source 22 drives the power shaft 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the active member 23 to rotate, and the active member 23 drives the first driven member 24 and the second driven member 25 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the massage members 10 on the two support components 200 to move.

[0116] It should be noted that the driving member 23 and the driven member can be connected by a transmission mechanism 30 such as a gear transmission mechanism 30 or a flexible transmission mechanism 30.

[0117] In conjunction with the aforementioned embodiments of the drive lever, such as Figure 4 as well as Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving gear is a bevel gear, the first driven gear is a bevel gear, and both rotate coaxially with the drive shaft 33 of one of the transmission components. The second driven gear is a bevel gear, and both rotate coaxially with the drive shaft 33 of another transmission component.

[0118] Furthermore, the transmission assembly can be implemented in various ways, as long as it can drive at least one massage element 10 to move under the drive of the drive assembly. For example, the transmission assembly can drive at least two massage elements 10 to move through a gear unit 31 and a linkage unit 32 corresponding to each massage element 10. Another example is... (Refer to...) Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly moves through one of the massage elements 10 via the gear unit 31 and the linkage unit 32, and drives the massage element 10 to move via the gear unit 31.

[0119] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a drive shaft 33, which is equipped with a worm gear 420. The transmission assembly also includes a turbine 430 that is connected to the worm gear 420, and the turbine 430 can drive the gear unit 31 to rotate.

[0120] It should be noted that the massage component 10 can be implemented in various ways, and can move to achieve at least one of pressing, pinching, kneading, etc.

[0121] The massage piece 10 can be used to massage at least one of the following parts of the human body: neck, shoulders, back, waist, thighs, etc.

[0122] See you later Figure 1 As shown, the two massage members 10 can massage two areas, such as the neck and shoulders. For example, the two massage members 10 may include a neck massage member 10 and a shoulder and back massage member 10, which can massage the neck and shoulders / back respectively.

[0123] It should be noted that "adjustment of the massage range of massage component 10" should be interpreted broadly, including changes in the massage trajectory of massage component 10, as well as changes relative to the user's body.

[0124] Combination Figure 17As shown, when the massage device 1 is used for shoulder and neck massage, the massage range of the massage element 10 can be adjusted to allow for adjustments in the distance of the massage element 10 relative to the human spine, and / or the vertical adjustment of the neck, and / or the vertical adjustment of the shoulders. For example, when a user uses the massage device 1 for massage, the two massage elements 10 are positioned on the left and right sides of the spine. If it is found that the massage position of the massage element 10 is far from the spine, while the uncomfortable area requiring massage is close to the spine, the first housing 110 can be rotated to reduce the distance between the two massage elements 10, causing the massage elements 10 to move closer to the spine, thereby enabling massage of the uncomfortable area of ​​the human body.

[0125] When one component is considered to be "transmission connection" to another component, the two can be fixed in a detachable or non-detachable manner, such as sleeve transmission fit, snap-fit ​​transmission fit, pin fixation, non-cylindrical transmission fit, integral molding fixation, welding, etc., which can be achieved in traditional technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0126] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the description of this disclosure are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this disclosure, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0127] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure according to the specific circumstances.

[0128] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as "fixed to," "set on," "fixed to," or "mounted on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component.

[0129] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0130] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this disclosure, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they 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 disclosure, and these all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.
