Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of health care device technology, and in particular to a protective component, housing device, and 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 offer adjustable massage ranges between multiple massage components to accommodate the massage needs of people with different body types. When these devices require at least two massage components to massage different areas, a transmission mechanism is needed to drive the movement of these components. However, this can easily lead to motion interference, making protection of such massage devices more difficult and hindering their lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0016] In one embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a gear unit, and a first mounting area has a first mounting portion for mounting the gear unit. The protective assembly also includes an inner shell, which is fixed to the first mounting area and cooperates with the support body to form a second protective cavity for protecting the gear unit.

[0017] In one embodiment, the inner shell has a third connecting portion for connecting to another massage element. The protective shell has a third notch to avoid the other massage element, and the third connecting portion is exposed through the third notch.

[0018] And / or, the transmission assembly includes a linkage unit that is drively connected to the gear unit, and the first mounting area has a second mounting portion for mounting the linkage unit. The inner housing has a fourth notch that avoids the linkage unit, the fourth notch facing the first notch.

[0019] And / or, the transmission assembly also includes a drive shaft that engages with the gear unit, and the inner housing is provided with a clearance hole to avoid the drive shaft, the clearance hole communicating with the second protective cavity.

[0020] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a housing device is also provided, including a rotating assembly and a protective assembly as described in any of the above embodiments. The rotating assembly includes two rotating shells, which are rotatably connected to form a third protective cavity. The protective assembly includes two components, which are fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating shells via a second connecting portion.

[0021] The technical solution will be further explained below:

[0022] In one embodiment, the third protective cavity is provided with a clearance notch. The housing assembly also includes a retractable elastic shield.

[0040] 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.

[0041] 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.

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] In related technologies, the massage range of multiple massage components in some massage devices is adjustable to accommodate the massage needs of people with different body types. For example, the distance between two massage components is adjustable, allowing for adjustments to the distance between their massage ranges. Another example is that the angle between two massage components is adjustable, allowing for adjustments to both the distance between their massage ranges and the massage angle of the components.

[0045] However, when such massage devices require at least two massage elements to massage different areas, a transmission assembly is needed to drive these elements, reducing the power source and lowering the cost and size of the device. But because the transmission assembly needs to drive at least two massage elements, and the massage range of these elements can be adjusted, motion interference is prone to occur, making protection of such massage devices more difficult and hindering their lifespan.

[0046] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a protective component that can effectively protect the transmission component and can rotate with the rotating housing to improve the service life of the massage device.

[0047] To better understand the protective components of this disclosure, the following description uses a massage device in which the protective components are applied.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a massage device 1 is provided, including a massage element 10, a drive assembly 20, a transmission assembly 30, and a housing device 40. The massage element 10, the drive assembly 20, and the transmission assembly 30 are integrated into the housing device 40. The drive assembly 20 is drively connected to the transmission assembly 30 to drive the massage element 10 to move.

[0049] Among them, such as Figures 3 to 6As shown, the housing device 40 includes a rotating assembly 41 and a protective assembly 42. The rotating assembly 41 includes two rotating shells 100, which are rotatably connected to form a third protective cavity 101. At least a portion of the drive assembly 20 is disposed within the third protective cavity 101. Two protective assemblies 42 are included, each fixedly connected to a corresponding rotating shell 100. The protective assembly 42 includes a support shell 200 and a protective shell 300. The support shell 200 includes a support body 210, which includes a first connecting portion 211 connected to the massage member 10, a second connecting portion 212 fixedly connected to the rotating shell 100, and a first mounting area 213 for mounting the transmission assembly 30. The first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212 are spaced apart from each other around the first mounting area 213. The protective shell 300 is fixedly connected to the support shell 200, forming the first protective cavity 201. Among them, at least one of the carrier shell 200 and the protective shell 300 is provided with a first notch 202 for avoiding the massage component 10 and a second notch 203 for avoiding the rotating shell 100. The first notch 202 and the second notch 203 are spaced apart and communicate with the first protective cavity 201 respectively. At least a portion of the first connecting part 211 is exposed in the first notch 202, at least a portion of the second connecting part 212 is exposed in the second notch 203, and the first mounting area 213 is disposed in the first protective cavity 201.

[0050] During assembly, at least a portion of the drive assembly 20 is placed within the third protective cavity 101 to enhance its protective performance and prevent foreign objects from entering the transmission gaps of the drive assembly 20, which could damage or jam the drive assembly 20. Then, the rotating shell 100 is fixedly connected to the second connecting part 212, allowing the rotating shell 100 to drive the carrier body 210 to rotate, thus adjusting the angle between the two carrier bodies 210. This allows for adjustment of the distance and angle between the massage ranges of the massage elements 10 on the two carrier bodies 210. Next, the transmission assembly 30 is integrated into the first mounting area 213, enabling a transmission connection between the massage elements 10 and the transmission assembly 30. The massage elements 10 are then connected to the carrier body 210 via the first connecting part 211. Finally, the protective shell 300 is fixedly connected to the carrier shell 200, protecting the transmission assembly 30 within the first protective cavity 201 and preventing foreign objects from entering the transmission gaps of the transmission assembly 30, which could damage or jam the transmission assembly 30. In this way, both the transmission component 30 and the drive component 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.

[0051] Furthermore, because the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212 are spaced apart, there is no motion interference between the massage element 10 and the rotating housing 100. The periphery of the first mounting area 213 of the first connecting portion 211 and the second connecting portion 212 prevents motion interference between the massage element 10 and the rotating housing 100 and the transmission assembly 30. Moreover, the first notch 202 avoids movement of the massage element 10, preventing motion interference between the massage element 10 and the protective assembly 42. And the second notch 203 avoids rotation of the rotating housing 100, preventing motion interference between the rotating housing 100 and the protective assembly 42. Thus, this housing 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.

[0052] It should be noted that "at least a portion of the first connecting part is exposed outside the first notch" should be interpreted broadly. This includes both the fact that at least a portion of the first connecting part protrudes from the first notch and the fact that the first connecting part is visible through the first notch, i.e., the orthographic projection area exposed in the first notch. The first connecting part only needs to be able to connect to the massage component through the first notch.

[0053] It should be noted that "at least part of the second connecting portion is exposed outside the second notch" should be interpreted broadly. This includes both the second connecting portion protruding from the second notch and the second connecting portion being visible through the second notch, i.e., the area projected onto the second notch. The second connecting portion only needs to be able to connect to the rotating shell through the second notch.

[0054] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the third protective cavity 101 is provided with a clearance notch 102. The housing device 40 also includes a retractable elastic shield 43. One end of the elastic shield 43 is fixed to the support shell 200 of one of the protective components 42, and the other end is fixed to the support shell 200 of the other protective component 42 to shield the clearance notch 102. In this way, by providing the clearance notch 102, the rotation of the rotating shell 100 will not interfere with the movement of the drive component 20. In addition, the elastic shield 43 can shield the clearance notch 102, ensuring the protective performance of the third protective cavity 101. Moreover, the elastic shield 43 is foldable and elastic, and will not affect the rotation between the two rotating shells 100.

[0055] Optionally, the elastic shield 43 includes multiple bending structures to avoid interfering with the relative rotation of the rotating shell 100.

[0056] Optionally, the material of the elastic shielding element 43 may include silicone, rubber, elastic fabric, etc.

[0057] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one of the protective shell 300 and the supporting shell 200 is provided with a groove 2011 for forming a first protective cavity 201. Thus, the first protective cavity 201 is easily formed using the groove 2011. For example, the protective shell 300 is provided with the groove 2011, and the supporting shell 200 is placed over it to form the first protective cavity 201. Alternatively, the supporting shell 200 is provided with the groove 2011, and the protective shell 300 covers the groove 2011 to form the first protective cavity 201. For another example, such as... Figure 6 As shown, both the protective shell 300 and the supporting shell 200 are provided with grooves 2011. After the two are spliced ​​and fixed, the two grooves 2011 are connected to form the first protective cavity 201.

[0058] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the support shell 200 includes a shell body 220 with a groove 2011. The shell body 220 is fixedly connected to the protective shell 300, and the support body 210 is fixedly disposed in the groove 2011. In this way, the groove 2011 is formed by the shell body 220, which facilitates the use of the support body 210 to support the massage component 10 and the transmission assembly 30. Then, the support body 210 is installed into the groove 2011 on the shell body 220, and finally the protective shell 300 is covered to place the transmission assembly 30 and part of the massage component 10 in the first protective cavity 201. This is easy to assemble and can ensure the protective performance of the massage device 1.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting part 211 is provided with a hinge hole 2111 that is ball-joined with the massage member 10. In this way, the massage member 10 is ball-joined with the hinge hole 2111, so that the massage member 10 can swing to achieve kneading massage.

[0060] In some embodiments, the shell body 220 includes a first side plate 221 with a first notch 202 and a second side plate 222 with a second notch 203 spaced apart from the first side plate 221. A second connecting portion 212 is disposed between the first side plate 221 and the second side plate 222. Thus, the first notch 202 is disposed on the first side plate 221, which facilitates its offset from the second notch 203, thereby also offsetting the massage member 10 from the rotating shell 100 and effectively preventing interference between the two.

[0061] In some embodiments, the protective housing 300 is provided with a slot 310 forming a second notch 203. At least a portion of the second connecting portion 212 is exposed in the slot 310 in the direction away from the first mounting area 213. This facilitates a fixed connection between the second connecting portion 212 and the rotating housing 100, making operation more convenient.

[0062] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the first side plate 221 and the second side plate 222 are provided with inclined walls 223 that connect with the edge of the slot 310. The inclined wall 223 includes a first end located away from the first mounting area 213 and a second end connecting with the edge of the slot 310. Along the direction from the first end to the second end, the inclined wall 223 is inclined towards the first mounting area 213. In this way, by utilizing the inclined wall 223, the protective space of the first protective cavity 201 is increased as much as possible while avoiding motion interference, thereby improving the protective effect of the protective component 42.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the shell body 220 is further provided with a first notch 202, and at least a portion of the first connecting portion 211 protrudes outside the first notch 202. This allows the massage member 10 to have a larger range of motion, and the first notch 202 effectively prevents motion interference between the massage member 10 and the supporting shell 200.

[0064] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing body 220 has a groove 2011. Thus, by partially spacing the support body 210 and the housing body 220, 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 30 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.

[0065] See you later Figure 3 As shown, this clearance cavity is also used to accommodate devices such as batteries.

[0066] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 30 includes a gear unit 31, and the first mounting area 213 is provided with a first mounting portion 2131 for mounting the gear unit 31. The protective assembly 42 also includes an inner shell 400, which is fixed to the first mounting area 213 and cooperates with the support body 210 to form a second protective cavity 410 for protecting the gear unit 31. In this way, the gear unit 31 can be easily mounted on the support body 210 through the first mounting portion 2131, and can be offset from the second connecting portion 212 and the first connecting portion 211, so that the gear unit 31 will not interfere with the rotation of the rotating shell 100 and the massage member 10 during rotation. In addition, by providing the inner shell 400, the second protective cavity 410 can be used to protect the gear unit 31, which can prevent foreign objects from entering the gear unit 31 and avoid or reduce the loss of lubricant, thus improving the lubrication effect of the gear unit 31.

[0067] like Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 30 further includes a drive shaft 33 that drives the gear unit 31. The inner shell 400 is provided with a clearance hole 430 to avoid the drive shaft 33, and the clearance hole 430 communicates with the second protective cavity 410. In this way, the drive assembly 20 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 30 to drive the two massage members 10 to move.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner shell 400 is provided with a third connecting portion 420 for connecting another massage element 10. The protective shell 300 is provided with a third notch 301 to avoid the other massage element 10, and the third connecting portion 420 is exposed through the third notch 301. The protective shell 300 is provided with a cylindrical body 320 communicating with the first protective cavity 201. The cylindrical body 320 protrudes from the first protective cavity 201 and is provided with the third notch 301. In this way, the other massage element 10 passes through the third notch 301 and connects with the third connecting portion 420, which facilitates the integration of the other massage element 10 into the upper part of the inner shell 400, thereby facilitating neck massage using the massage element 10.

[0069] Optionally, such as Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the third connecting portion 420 includes a through hole 421 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 421 to drive the other massage member 10 to move.

[0070] Optionally, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the transmission assembly 30 includes a linkage unit 32 that is drively connected to the gear unit 31, and the first mounting area 213 is provided with a second mounting portion 2132 for mounting the linkage unit 32. The inner shell 400 is provided with a fourth notch 440 that avoids the linkage unit 32, and the fourth notch 440 faces the first notch 202. In this way, the linkage unit 32 is mounted on the support body 210 through the second mounting portion 2132, 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 440, the linkage unit 32 can be directly connected to the gear unit 31, and the fourth notch 440 is used to avoid motion interference between the linkage unit 32 and the inner shell 400.

[0071] It should be noted that the drive assembly can be implemented in various ways, as long as it can simultaneously drive the movement of two transmission components without interfering with the rotation of the rotating housing. For example, the drive assembly includes two power sources built into the third protective cavity. One power source is fixed to one of the rotating housings and is connected to one of the transmission components. The other power source is fixed to the other rotating housing and is connected to the other transmission component. Another example is... Figure 1 as well as Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the drive assembly 20 includes a power shaft 21 coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the rotating housing 100 and a drive wheel 22 coaxially rotating with the power shaft 21. The drive wheel 22 drives the corresponding transmission assembly 30 to move through the driven wheel 23. Optionally, the drive wheel 22 is a bevel gear, and the driven wheel 23 is also a bevel gear. The driven wheel 23 rotates coaxially with the drive shaft 33 of the transmission assembly 30.

[0072] Furthermore, the transmission component can be implemented in various ways, as long as it can drive at least one massage element to move under the drive of the drive component. For example, the transmission component can drive at least two massage elements to move through gear units and linkage units corresponding to each massage element. 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.

[0073] 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] 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.

[0076] 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.

[0077] Combination Figure 9As 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 spine, and / or the vertical movement of the neck, and / or the vertical movement 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 element 10 is too far from the spine, while the uncomfortable area requiring massage is too close to the spine, the rotating housing 100 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 body.

[0078] 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.

Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0083] 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.

[0084] 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.

[0085] 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.
