Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of nursing product technology, and more particularly to a massage comb. Background Technology

[0002] A massage comb is a health care device that combs hair and applies physical stimulation to the scalp through mechanical kneading. Among related technologies, massage combs have relatively simple care functions, lack heating capabilities, and thus have limited care effects. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a massage comb that can achieve diverse massage functions and effectively improve the massage and care effect.

[0004] The technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0005] This application provides a massage comb, including a housing, a massage mechanism, and a temperature control mechanism. The massage mechanism includes a mounting bracket, a drive assembly, and a massage element. The mounting bracket is connected to the housing, at least a portion of the drive assembly is disposed within the housing, and the massage element is movably connected to the mounting bracket. The drive assembly is used to drive the massage element to move relative to the mounting bracket. The temperature control mechanism is connected to the massage element and is used to adjust the temperature of the massage element. At least a portion of the temperature control mechanism follows the movement of the massage element relative to the mounting bracket.

[0006] The massage comb provided in this application has a housing connected to a massage mechanism. The massage mechanism includes a mounting bracket, a drive assembly, and massage elements. The mounting bracket provides a mounting base for the massage elements, which are movably connected to the mounting bracket. The massage elements move relative to the mounting bracket under the drive assembly to achieve massage functions such as kneading. Furthermore, a temperature regulating mechanism is provided between the mounting bracket and the massage elements. This mechanism adjusts the temperature of the massage elements, for example, heating them to near or slightly above human body temperature. This combination of physical kneading and temperature stimulation enhances the massage effect. Since at least a portion of the temperature regulating mechanism follows the movement of the massage elements, it facilitates stable heat transfer between the mechanism and the elements, improving heat transfer stability. It also reduces the restriction on the massage elements by the temperature regulating mechanism, allowing for more complex massage movements. Compared to single-function massage combs in related technologies, the massage comb of this application not only provides diverse massage functions to meet diverse user needs but also enhances the massage and care effect through the coordinated movement of the temperature regulating mechanism and the massage elements.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the temperature control mechanism includes a flexible circuit board and a temperature control component. The flexible circuit board is electrically connected to the temperature control component, and the massage element is connected to the temperature control component. The temperature control component moves relative to the mounting bracket following the movement of the massage element.

[0008] The massage comb provided in this application has a flexible circuit board for electrical connection with a temperature control component, so as to supply power to the temperature control component through the flexible circuit board; the flexible circuit board is designed to allow the temperature control component to follow the movement of the massage component when there is an effective electrical connection.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the temperature control component includes a heating element and a heat-conducting element, the massage element is connected to the heat-conducting element, the heating element is connected between the flexible circuit board and the heat-conducting element, the heating element is used to convert electrical energy into heat energy, and the heat-conducting element is used to transfer heat energy to the massage element.

[0010] The massage comb provided in this application has a heating element connected to a flexible circuit board that can convert electrical energy into heat energy. The heat energy is transferred to the massage element through a heat-conducting element. The heat-conducting element acts as a transition, which facilitates the even transfer of heat to the massage element and reduces the phenomenon of heat concentration.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the heat-conducting element and the massage element extend in the same direction, and the heating element is disposed around the outer periphery of the heat-conducting element around the extension axis of the heat-conducting element.

[0012] The massage comb provided in this application has a heating element surrounding the outer periphery of the heat-conducting element. On the one hand, this can effectively increase the contact area between the heating element and the heat-conducting element, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency between the two. On the other hand, different sides of the heat-conducting element can be effectively heated, thereby improving the uniformity of heat distribution on the heat-conducting element and facilitating the heat-conducting element to evenly transfer heat to the massage element.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, there are at least two temperature control components; the flexible circuit board includes a main body and at least two connecting parts, the main body is attached to the inner wall of the mounting bracket, and the connecting parts are connected to the temperature control components one by one.

[0014] The massage comb provided in this application has a flexible circuit board including a main body and a connecting part. The main body fits against the inner wall of the mounting bracket so that the mounting bracket can provide support for the flexible circuit board. The connecting part is connected to the temperature control components one by one, which facilitates the connection between the flexible circuit board and multiple temperature control components.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the massage comb further includes a main board and a conductive part electrically connected to the main board.

[0016] The massage comb provided in this application features a rigid circuit board that is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket to maintain the relative positions of the rigid circuit board and the mounting bracket, thereby maintaining the relative positions of the rigid circuit board and the housing. This facilitates the electrical connection of the elastic conductive element on the rigid circuit board to the conductive part. The elastic conductive element improves the ease of connection and aids in assembly and maintenance. Furthermore, its elastic design ensures stable contact between the elastic conductive element and the conductive part, thereby enhancing the stability of the electrical connection.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the massage mechanism further includes a connecting component, the massage element being connected to the output end of the drive component via the connecting component, the connecting component having a receiving cavity, and at least a portion of the temperature regulating component being disposed within the receiving cavity.

[0018] The massage comb provided in this application, by setting a connecting component, facilitates the movable connection of the massage component relative to the mounting bracket. The connecting component forms a receiving cavity, and at least part of the temperature regulating component is disposed in the receiving cavity. On the one hand, the temperature regulating component is isolated from other components in the mounting bracket, reducing interference between components; on the other hand, the independent chamber corresponding to the temperature regulating component helps to concentrate heat, reduce loss, and improve energy utilization.

The mounting bracket and the drive assembly are disposed in the receiving cavity. One end of the connecting assembly is disposed in the receiving cavity and connected to the output end of the drive assembly. The other end of the connecting assembly passes through the cover and is connected to the massage element located outside the receiving cavity.

[0020] The massage comb provided in this application has a housing and a cover that form an independent space isolated from the outside world, thus isolating the internal components from the outside world, improving the protection of the internal components, and also improving the installation stability of the internal components.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting component includes a first connector and a second connector arranged along the extension direction of the massage member. The receiving cavity passes through the first connector, and the second connector is connected between the first connector and the output end of the drive component. The second connector is disposed in the receiving cavity, and a portion of the first connector is located in the receiving cavity, while the other portion protrudes through the cover. The first connector, the cover, and the massage member are integrally formed.

[0022] The integrated design of the first connector, the cover, and the massage component helps to improve the sealing performance of the massage comb, enhance its dustproof and waterproof capabilities, and broaden its application scenarios.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the massage component includes an extension and a contact portion. The extension is connected between the temperature control mechanism and the contact portion, and an insulation layer is provided on the outer periphery of the extension. The insulation layer is used to block the heat exchange between the extension and the outside.

[0024] The massage comb provided in this application has an extension that helps increase the size of the massage component so that the contact part can contact the human skin. An insulation layer is provided on the outer periphery of the extension to block heat exchange between the extension and the outside, reduce energy loss, facilitate heat transfer between the contact part and the temperature control component, and improve energy utilization.

[0041] This application provides a massage comb, which is a health care device that can comb hair and apply physical stimulation to the scalp through mechanical means.

[0042] In some technical solutions, the massage comb only has a massage function, the care function is relatively simple, it does not have a heating function, and the care effect is limited.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The massage comb of this application embodiment includes a housing 100, a massage mechanism 200, and a temperature control mechanism 300. The massage mechanism 200 includes a mounting bracket 212, a drive assembly 240, and a massage element 220. The mounting bracket 212 is connected to the housing 100. At least a portion of the drive assembly 240 is disposed within the housing 100. The massage element 220 is movably connected to the mounting bracket 212. The drive assembly 240 is used to drive the massage element 220 to move relative to the mounting bracket 212. The temperature control mechanism 300 is connected to the massage element 220. The temperature control mechanism 300 is used to adjust the temperature of the massage element 220, and at least a portion of the temperature control mechanism 300 follows the movement of the massage element 220 relative to the mounting bracket 212.

[0044] In some examples, the housing 100 includes a handle 110, the end of which is connected to the massage mechanism 200, allowing the user to grip the handle 110 to operate the massage comb. Components such as a motherboard 130 and a battery 140 may be housed within the housing 100. In some examples, at least a portion of the drive assembly 240 is disposed within the housing 100. The battery 140 provides power to the massage mechanism 200 and the temperature control mechanism 300. The motherboard 130 controls the operation of the massage mechanism 200 and the temperature control mechanism 300, and receives user commands. For example, the motherboard 130 can control the temperature control mechanism 300 to start, stop, and time itself, as well as adjust its output power.

[0045] In this embodiment, the massage element 220 and the mounting bracket 212 can be connected in various ways to provide massage functions such as grasping and kneading. In some examples, the massage element 220 and the mounting bracket 212 are connected in a swinging manner.

[0046] For example, the mounting bracket 212 has a ring-shaped structure, and the massage element 220 has a rod-shaped structure. The massage element 220 extends along the central axis of the mounting bracket 212, and is oscillating relative to the mounting bracket 212. The end of the massage element 220 reciprocates along an arc, and the plane in which the massage element 220 oscillates is arranged radially along the mounting bracket 212. In some examples, the massage element 220 is a comb, which can also function as a scalp massager and hair comber.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and 4 The massage mechanism 200 includes a drive assembly 240, which includes a drive member 243. The massage member 220 is connected to the output end of the drive member 243 and is driven by the drive member 243 to move relative to the mounting bracket 212.

[0048] The driving component 243 can be a motor, such as a servo motor or a stepper motor. In some examples, the driving component 243 is a motor, and it is fixed inside the housing 100.

[0049] In this embodiment, the massage element 220 is directly connected to the drive element 243, or the massage element 220 is indirectly connected to the drive element 243 through a transmission assembly. In some examples, the transmission assembly includes a gear 242, the output shaft of the drive element 243 is connected to the gear 242, and the gear 242 is connected to the massage element 220.

[0050] In some examples, the transmission assembly also includes a rotating member 211 and a track member 241. The rotating member 211 is rotatably disposed within the housing 100 about its own central axis and is located on the side of the mounting bracket 212 opposite to the massage member 220. The track member 241 is connected between the rotating member 211 and the mounting bracket 212. The rotating member 211 has a track groove 2111 on the side facing the track member 241. The rotating member 211 can rotate relative to the housing 100 about its central axis. The track member 241 extends into the track groove 2111. A gear 242 is connected between the rotating member 211 and the driving member 243. The driving member 243 drives the rotating member 211 to rotate through the gear 242. The rotation of the rotating member 211 causes the track groove 2111 to rotate synchronously. The track groove 2111 is wavy. The track member 241 swings relative to the rotating member 211 under the guidance of the track groove 2111, thereby guiding the massage member 220 to swing.

[0051] In this embodiment, the temperature control mechanism 300 may have cooling and / or heating functions. The temperature control mechanism 300 includes a temperature control component 320 for realizing the cooling and / or heating functions. In some examples, the entire temperature control mechanism 300 moves with the massage member 220. For example, the temperature control component 320 and the power supply component of the temperature control mechanism 300 are fixed relative to the massage member 220. In other examples, the temperature control component 320 of the temperature control mechanism 300 is fixed relative to the massage member 220, and the temperature control component 320 is powered by a battery 140 or the like inside the housing 100.

[0052] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment includes a housing 100 connected to a massage mechanism 200. The massage mechanism 200 includes a mounting bracket 212, a drive assembly 240, and a massage element 220. The mounting bracket 212 provides a mounting base for the massage element 220. The massage element 220 is movably connected to the mounting bracket 212. The massage element 220 moves relative to the mounting bracket 212 under the drive of the drive assembly 240 to realize massage functions such as grasping and kneading.

[0053] Based on this, a temperature regulating mechanism 300 is provided between the mounting bracket 212 and the massage element 220. The temperature regulating mechanism 300 is used to regulate the temperature of the massage element 220. For example, the temperature regulating mechanism 300 heats the massage element 220 to a temperature close to or slightly higher than that of the human body, thereby enhancing the massage effect through a combination of physical kneading and temperature stimulation. Since at least a part of the temperature regulating mechanism 300 moves with the massage element 220, on the one hand, it facilitates stable heat transfer between the temperature regulating mechanism 300 and the massage element 220, improving the stability of heat transfer; on the other hand, it reduces the limitation imposed by the temperature regulating mechanism 300 on the massage element 220, allowing the massage element 220 to perform complex massage movements.

[0054] Compared with single-function massage combs in related technologies, the massage comb of this application embodiment can not only realize diversified massage functions to meet the diverse needs of users, but also improve the massage and care effect of the massage comb through the follow-up cooperation of the temperature adjustment mechanism 300 and the massage component 220.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the temperature control mechanism 300 includes a flexible circuit board 310 and a temperature control component 320. The flexible circuit board 310 is electrically connected to the temperature control component 320, and the massage member 220 is connected to the temperature control component 320. The temperature control component 320 moves relative to the mounting bracket 212 following the massage member 220.

[0056] In some examples, the flexible circuit board 310 includes a flexible base layer and conductive wires. The flexible base layer may include flexible insulating materials such as plastic, rubber or fiber. The conductive wires are sandwiched within the flexible base layer and form a circuit that electrically connects the temperature control assembly 320 and the battery 140 within the housing 100.

[0057] For example, the flexible circuit board 310 is a flexible printed circuit (FPC), which not only enables flexible connections but also has a small thickness, which helps to reduce space occupation. For example, the flexible circuit board 310 fits against the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212 to reduce the space occupation along the radial direction of the mounting bracket 212.

[0058] In some examples, the temperature control mechanism 300 includes a cooling element that generates a low temperature to reduce the temperature of the massage element 220; in other examples, the temperature control mechanism 300 includes a heating element 321 that generates a high temperature to increase the temperature of the massage element 220.

[0059] In some examples, the temperature control component 320 is fixed to the massage component 220 by a non-removable method such as bonding or welding; in other examples, the temperature control component 320 is fixed to the massage component 220 by a snap-fit, threaded connection or fastener connection.

[0060] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment is that the flexible circuit board 310 is used for the electrical connection between the battery 140 and the temperature regulating component 320 inside the housing 100, so that the temperature regulating component 320 can work based on the power supply of the housing 100; the flexible circuit board 310 is flexibly configured so that the temperature regulating component 320 can follow the movement of the massage component 220 when there is an effective electrical connection.

[0061] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the temperature control component 320 includes a heating element 321 and a heat-conducting element 322. The massage element 220 is connected to the heat-conducting element 322. The heating element 321 is connected between the flexible circuit board 310 and the heat-conducting element 322. The heating element 321 is used to convert electrical energy into heat energy, and the heat-conducting element 322 is used to transfer heat energy to the massage element 220.

[0062] In this embodiment, the heating element 321 can be a filamentous structure, a tubular structure, or a sheet-like structure, etc.; the heating element 321 can include one or more combinations of metal, graphite, and composite conductive materials. In some examples, the heating element 321 is a metal heating wire.

[0063] In this embodiment, the heat-conducting component 322 can be a block structure, shell structure, tubular structure, columnar structure, or sheet structure, etc.; the heat-conducting component 322 can include one or more combinations of materials such as metal, graphite, and thermally conductive ceramics. It should be noted that the heat-conducting component 322 can be an insulating component or a conductive component. In some examples, the heat-conducting component 322 is a columnar structure made of metal.

[0064] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment is that the heating element 321 connected to the flexible circuit board 310 can convert electrical energy into heat energy. The heat energy is transferred to the massage element 220 through the heat conductor 322. The heat conductor 322 acts as a transition to facilitate the uniform transfer of heat to the massage element 220 and reduce the phenomenon of heat concentration.

[0065] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the heat-conducting element 322 and the massage element 220 extend in the same direction, and the heating element 321 is disposed around the outer periphery of the heat-conducting element 322 around the extension axis of the heat-conducting element 322.

[0066] In some examples, the massage element 220 extends axially along the rotating element 211, the heat-conducting element 322 has a columnar structure, and the heat-conducting element 322 also extends radially along the rotating element 211. The heat-conducting element 322 and the massage element 220 are coaxially arranged.

[0067] In some examples, the massage element 220 and the heat-conducting element 322 are plugged into each other; in other examples, the massage element 220 and the heat-conducting element 322 are overlapped; and in still other examples, the massage element 220 and the heat-conducting element 322 are mated together. For example, the massage element 220 is connected to the end face of the heat-conducting element 322, and the massage element 220 and the heat-conducting element 322 are mated together.

[0068] In some examples, the two ends of the heating element 321 are connected to the flexible circuit board 310 to form a closed loop. The portion between the two ends of the heating element 321 forms a spiral structure, which is wound around the outer periphery of the heat-conducting element 322. The spiral structure can have one or more turns. It should be noted that the heat-conducting element 322 can also have holes, and the heating element 321 is disposed within the holes.

[0069] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment has a heating element 321 surrounding the outer periphery of the heat conductor 322. On the one hand, this can effectively increase the contact area between the heating element 321 and the heat conductor 322, thereby improving the heat transfer efficiency between the two. On the other hand, different sides of the heat conductor 322 can be effectively heated, thereby improving the uniformity of heat distribution on the heat conductor 322, which makes it easier for the heat conductor 322 to evenly transfer heat to the massage element 220.

[0070] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the outline of the flexible circuit board 310 is adapted to the outline of the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212, and at least a portion of the flexible circuit board 310 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212.

[0071] In some examples, the surface of the flexible circuit board 310 and the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212 are of the same type. For example, both the surface of the flexible circuit board 310 and the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212 are flat, or both are curved surfaces. In some examples, the flexible circuit board 310 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212, and the recesses or protrusions of the mounting bracket 212 are used to achieve snap-fit ​​positioning; in other examples, the flexible circuit board 310 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212 by adhesive or welding, so that the flexible circuit board 310 can be stably connected to the mounting bracket 212.

[0072] For example, the flexible circuit board 310 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212, and the side of the flexible circuit board 310 facing the inner ring wall of the mounting bracket 212 is provided with an adhesive structure so that the flexible circuit board 310 is adhesively fixed to the inner ring wall of the mounting bracket 212.

[0073] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment adapts the contour of the flexible circuit board 310 to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212 so that the mounting bracket 212 provides support for the flexible circuit board 310. At least a portion of the flexible circuit board 310 is attached to the mounting bracket 212, which improves the connection stability between the two and also reduces the interference of the free deformation of the flexible circuit board 310 on other components.

[0074] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, there are at least two temperature control components 320; the flexible circuit board 310 includes a main body 311 and at least two connecting parts 312, the main body 311 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212, and the connecting parts 312 are connected to the temperature control components 320 one by one.

[0075] In some examples, the massage mechanism 200 includes multiple (including two) massage elements 220, which are arranged in a ring shape along the circumferential direction of the rotating member 211 to achieve the function of kneading the scalp. Correspondingly, multiple temperature control components 320 are arranged in a ring shape along the circumferential direction of the rotating member 211.

[0076] In some examples, the temperature control component 320 and the massage element 220 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence; in other examples, the temperature control component 320 corresponds to multiple massage elements 220, and different temperature control components 320 can correspond to the same or different number of massage elements 220. For example, each temperature control component 320 has four massage elements 220 connected to its heat-conducting element 322.

[0077] In some examples, the main body 311 forms an annular structure by fitting against the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212, and the connecting part 312 is a strip-shaped structure extending toward the corresponding temperature control component 320.

[0078] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment includes a flexible circuit board 310 comprising a main body 311 and a connecting part 312. The main body 311 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212 so that the mounting bracket 212 provides support for the flexible circuit board 310. The connecting part 312 is connected to the temperature control component 320 in a one-to-one correspondence, which facilitates the connection between the flexible circuit board 310 and multiple temperature control components 320.

[0079] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the massage comb further includes a main board 130 and a conductive part 120 electrically connected to the main board 130. Both the main board 130 and the conductive part 120 are disposed within the housing 100. The temperature control mechanism 300 further includes a rigid circuit board 330 and an elastic conductive element 340. The rigid circuit board 330 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 212 and electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 310. One end of the elastic conductive element 340 is connected to the rigid circuit board 330, and the other end of the elastic conductive element 340 elastically contacts the conductive part 120 within the housing 100.

[0080] In some examples, the rigid circuit board 330 is a rigid circuit board comprising materials that are not easily deformed, such as fiberglass and epoxy resin, to provide stable support for the elastic conductive element 340. The elastic conductive element 340 can be fixed to the rigid circuit board 330 by means of bonding, welding, or threaded connection.

[0081] In some examples, the elastic conductive element 340 is a spring or reed with conductive properties; in other examples, the elastic conductive element 340 is a spring pin. For example, two inclined spring pins are connected to the rigid circuit board 330 to correspond to different electrodes of the conductive part 120, which is electrically connected to the main board 130 and / or the battery 140. When the massage mechanism 200 is assembled to the housing 100, the spring pins abut against the conductive part 120 to achieve electrical connection between the main board 130 and the battery 140 and the temperature control component 320.

[0082] In some examples, the rigid circuit board 330 is directly fixed to the mounting bracket 212, while in other examples, the rigid circuit board 330 is indirectly disposed on the mounting bracket 212. For example, the mounting bracket 212 has an adhesive-coated structure on the side facing the housing 100, and the rigid circuit board 330 is disposed on the adhesive-coated structure.

[0083] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment, by setting a rigid circuit board 330, which is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 212, maintains the relative position of the rigid circuit board 330 and the mounting bracket 212, thereby maintaining the relative position of the rigid circuit board 330 and the housing 100. This facilitates the electrical connection of the elastic conductive element 340 on the rigid circuit board 330 to the conductive part 120. The setting of the elastic conductive element 340, on the one hand, improves the convenience of connection and facilitates assembly and maintenance; on the other hand, the elastic setting can maintain stable contact between the elastic conductive element 340 and the conductive part 120, thereby improving the stability of the electrical connection.

[0084] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the massage mechanism 200 includes a connecting component 230, the massage element 220 is connected to the output end of the drive component 240 through the connecting component 230, the connecting component 230 has a receiving cavity 234, and at least a portion of the temperature regulating component 320 is disposed in the receiving cavity 234.

[0085] In this embodiment, the connecting component 230 may include components such as a connecting rod, a connecting block, and a connecting plate. In some examples, the connecting component 230 is movably connected to the mounting bracket 212, the temperature regulating component 320 and the massage element 220 are fixedly connected to the connecting component 230, and the connecting component 230 is connected to the driving component 240 so that the driving component 240 drives the massage element 220 and the temperature regulating component 320 to move relative to the mounting bracket 212 through the connecting component 230.

[0086] In some examples, the connecting component 230 includes a second connector 233, which connects the track member 241 and the massage member 220 respectively. The track member 241 has a connecting groove 2411 on the side facing the massage member 220. A portion of the second connector 233 extends into the connecting groove 2411 of the track member 241, so that the second connector 233 slides in connection with the track member 241, so that the track member 241 drives the second connector 233 to move, and then drives the corresponding massage member 220 to move through the second connector 233.

[0087] In some examples, the connection between the heating element 321 and the heat-conducting element 322 is located within the receiving cavity 234, and the heating element 321 and the heat-conducting element 322 can partially extend out of the receiving cavity 234; in other examples, the entire heating element 321 and the heat-conducting element 322 are located within the receiving cavity 234.

[0088] It should be noted that when the massage mechanism 200 includes multiple massage components 220, each massage component 220 may be equipped with a corresponding temperature control component 320, or only some of the massage components 220 may be equipped with a temperature control component 320.

[0089] In some examples, two rings of massage elements 220 are formed along the circumference of the mounting bracket 212. The two rings of massage elements 220 are coaxially nested. The massage element 220 in the outer ring is provided with a temperature control component 320 and is indirectly connected to the corresponding second connector 233. The massage element 220 in the inner ring is not provided with a temperature control component 320 and is directly connected to the corresponding second connector 233.

[0090] In some examples, the receiving cavity 234 is a groove structure with an opening facing the inside of the mounting bracket 212; in other examples, the receiving cavity 234 is a through-hole structure so that the heat-conducting element 322 passes through the receiving cavity 234 to connect to the corresponding massage element 220.

[0091] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment facilitates the connection between the massage component 220 and the drive component 240 by setting the connecting component 230. The connecting component 230 forms a receiving cavity 234, and at least a portion of the temperature regulating component 320 is disposed in the receiving cavity 234. On the one hand, the temperature regulating component 320 is isolated from other components in the mounting bracket 212, reducing interference between components; on the other hand, the independent chamber corresponding to the temperature regulating component 320 helps to concentrate heat, reduce loss, and improve energy utilization.

[0092] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the housing 100 has an installation opening, and the massage comb also includes a cover 400. The cover 400 is disposed in the installation opening and forms a receiving cavity with the housing 100. The mounting bracket 212 and the drive assembly 240 are disposed in the receiving cavity. One end of the connecting assembly 230 is disposed in the receiving cavity and connected to the output end of the drive assembly 240. The other end of the connecting assembly 230 passes through the cover 400 and is connected to the massage member 220 located outside the receiving cavity.

[0093] It is understandable that the connection of the cover 400 at the mounting opening is sealed; that is, the connection between the cover 400 and the edge of the mounting opening of the housing 100 is a sealed connection, and the part of the cover 400 through which the connecting assembly 230 protrudes is also a sealed connection with the connecting assembly 230. The connection of the cover 400 at the mounting opening of the housing 100 may also be non-sealed.

[0094] In some examples, the cover 400 seals the mounting opening, reducing the amount of external water that could enter the housing 100 through the mounting opening, and also improving structural strength, ensuring that the components are stably connected and not easily detached.

[0095] In this way, the housing 100 and the cover 400 form an independent space isolated from the outside world, thus isolating the internal components from the outside world, improving the protection effect of the internal components, and improving the installation stability of the internal components.

[0096] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the connecting component 230 includes a first connector 231 and a second connector 233 arranged along the extension direction of the massage component 220. The receiving cavity 234 passes through the first connector 231. The second connector 233 is connected between the first connector 231 and the output end of the drive component 240. The cover 400 is sealed between the mounting bracket 212 and the first connector 231. The cover 400 is disposed in the receiving cavity. A portion of the first connector 231 is located in the receiving cavity, and another portion passes through the cover 400. The cover 400 and the massage component 220 are integrally formed.

[0097] In some examples, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first connector 231 includes a first part 2311 and a second part 2312 connected to each other. The first part 2311 and the second part 2312 extend in the same direction. The receiving cavity 234 passes through the first part 2311 and the second part 2312. The first part 2311 is entirely located within the receiving cavity, and a portion of the second part 2312 passes through the cover 400, with the remainder located on the outside of the cover 400. The first part 2311 is a rigid component with a higher hardness than the second part 2312, so as to form a fixed-shape receiving cavity 234. For example, the first part 2311 is made of plastic. The first part 2311 of the first connector 231 is connected to the second connector 233 so that the second connector 233 can drive the first connector 231 to move relative to the mounting bracket 212. The first part 2311 and the second connector 233 can be fixed together by means of screws or other methods. In some examples, the second part 2312 is made of flexible materials such as rubber, silicone, or fiber.

[0098] The integrated design of the first connector 231, the cover 400, and the massage component 220 helps to improve the sealing performance of the massage comb, enhance its dustproof and waterproof capabilities, and broaden its application scenarios.

[0099] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the cover 400 is a flexible sleeve, and the cover 400 is made of flexible materials such as rubber, silicone or fiber. The cover 400 can be a planar or curved structure. For example, part of the cover 400 is a corrugated structure.

[0100] In some examples, the cover 400 is connected to the end of the second part 2312 that is connected to the first part 2311. The cover 400 covers the outer peripheral surface of the mounting bracket 212. The cover 400 and the first connector 231 are integrally formed to have good sealing performance, for example, by integral molding through a die-cutting process.

[0101] In some examples, the heat-conducting element 322 has a first end near the massage element 220 and a second end away from the massage element 220. Along the radial direction of the rotating element 211, the size of the first end is larger than the size of the second end. The cross-section of the heat-conducting element 322 forms a stepped structure with a smaller top and a larger bottom. The second part 2312 of the first connecting element 231 covers the second end of the heat-conducting element 322. The heating element 321 is wrapped around the second end of the heat-conducting element 322.

[0102] In some examples, a portion of the inner contour of the cover 400 is adapted to the outer contour of the mounting bracket 212, and the cover 400 covers the mounting bracket 212 to form an overmolded structure. The side of the mounting bracket 212 near the handle 110, the side of the mounting bracket 212 near the massage element 220, and the outer ring wall of the mounting bracket 212 are all covered by the cover 400.

[0103] In some examples, a portion of the surface of the flexible circuit board 310 is attached to the cover 400, and the cover 400 and the mounting bracket 212 form a stepped structure. The flexible circuit board 310 is bent in response to the stepped structure. For example, the middle portion of the main body 311 is attached to the mounting bracket 212, the first portion of the main body 311 near the handle 110 is bent in accordance with the contour of the cover 400 and extends to the rigid circuit board 330, and the second portion of the main body 311 near the connecting portion 312 is bent in a direction away from the mounting bracket 212 and parallel to the radial direction of the mounting bracket 212.

[0104] The second part 2312 is flexibly designed to facilitate the movement of the first connector 231, the cover 400, the massage component 220, and the temperature control component 320 relative to the mounting bracket 212.

[0105] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments of this application, the massage member 220 includes an extension 221 and a contact portion 222. The extension 221 is connected between the temperature control mechanism 300 and the contact portion 222, and a heat insulation layer 223 is provided on the outer periphery of the extension 221. The heat insulation layer 223 is used to block the heat exchange between the extension 221 and the outside.

[0106] In this embodiment, the extension 221 may be made of a heat-conducting material, including metal materials and ceramic materials, etc. In some examples, both the extension 221 and the contact 222 are made of metal materials, and the extension 221 and the contact 222 are integrally formed. The contact 222 is a spherical massage head disposed at the free end of the extension 221.

[0107] In some examples, the insulation layer 223 is heat insulation cotton, heat insulation adhesive, etc., covering the surface of the extension 221; in other examples, the insulation layer 223 is a heat insulation coating applied to the surface of the extension 221; for example, the surface of the extension 221 is coated with a zirconia ceramic heat insulation coating.

[0108] The technical solution provided in this application embodiment is that the extension 221 of the massage member 220 helps to increase the size of the massage member 220 so that the contact part 222 can contact the human skin. The outer periphery of the extension 221 is provided with a heat insulation layer 223, which can block the heat exchange between the extension 221 and the outside world, reduce energy loss, facilitate the transfer of heat between the contact part 222 and the temperature regulating component 320, and improve energy utilization.

[0109] In this embodiment, the massage comb may also be equipped with sealing structures such as sealing rings and sealing strips to improve the overall waterproof performance of the massage comb, which is no less than IPX7 level. Furthermore, the massage comb may integrate care functions such as light stimulation, pulse stimulation, and care solution application.

[0110] In one possible embodiment of this application, the rotating member 211 is rotatably disposed between the handle 110 and the mounting bracket 212 about its own central axis, and the trajectory member 241 is disposed between the rotating member 211 and the mounting bracket 212. The rotating shaft of the trajectory member 241 is rotatably engaged with the rotating member 211 and the mounting bracket 212. The trajectory member 241 is connected to the driving member 243 through the rotating member 211 and the gear 242. The gear 242 is assembled and fixed to the handle 110 by waterproof screws to improve the sealing effect. Under the driving action of the driving member 243, the trajectory member 241 swings between the rotating member 211 and the mounting bracket 212. The track member 241 is connected to a second connector 233, which is locked and fixed to the first connector 231. The first connector 231 forms a bent portion and is fixed to the rotating member 211 and the mounting bracket 212. The first connector 231 forms a receiving cavity 234 to accommodate the heating element 321 and the heat-conducting element 322. The heating element 321 is wound around the metal heat-conducting element 322. The metal massage element 220 is connected to the end of the heat-conducting element 322. The cover member 400, the first connector 231, and the heat-conducting element 322 are integrally formed. The track member 241 drives the massage element 220 to move through the second connector 233 and the first connector 231. The heating element 321 is connected to the connecting portion 312 of the flexible circuit board 310. The main body portion 311 of the flexible circuit board 310 is attached to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 212 and the cover member 400. The main body 311 of the flexible circuit board 310 is connected to a rigid circuit board 330. The rigid circuit board 330 is fixed to the mounting bracket 212 by screws or the like. The rigid circuit board 330 is provided with an elastic conductive element 340. The elastic conductive element 340 abuts against the conductive part 120 (e.g., the toothbrush circuit board) inside the housing 100. The conductive part 120 is electrically connected to the main board 130. After the massage comb is powered on, the flexible circuit board 310 can be turned on and off through the program of the main board 130, thereby controlling the heating element 321 to heat up. The heat generated by the heating element 321 is conducted to the massage element 220 through the heat conductor 322, so that the entire massage element 220 is heated.

[0111] The massage comb of this embodiment can simultaneously realize the radial reciprocating oscillation of the massage component 220 and the heating function of the massage component 220; the sleeve connection of the heat-conducting component 322, the first connecting component 231 and the cover component 400 is conducive to waterproofing, so as to realize the waterproofing of the whole machine; the annular flexible circuit board 310 and the wound heating component 321 are stacked and connected in a compact space, and can effectively prevent the flexible circuit board 310 from breaking due to the oscillation of the massage component 220; the main body 311 and the rigid circuit board 330 are fixed to the mounting bracket 212; the elastic conductive component 340 and the conductive component 120 are connected after assembly; the modular design simplifies assembly.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and scope of this application, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the scope of protection of this application.
