[0024] With the increasing health awareness of people, massage chairs, as a type of home appliance that integrates relaxation and health care, have seen their market penetration rate rise year by year. Among the structural components of a massage chair, the massage head, as a key component that directly acts on the human body to achieve the massage function, directly affects the user experience and massage effect.

[0025] Most massage chairs on the market currently use silicone or plastic massage heads as their main massage components. However, both materials have limitations in practical applications. Plastic massage heads, due to their inherent hardness, can create a stiff feeling during massage, resulting in poor comfort and impacting the user experience. While silicone massage heads offer better softness and comfort, their higher manufacturing cost increases the overall product price, hindering widespread market adoption.

[0026] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application provide a massage head and a massage mechanism.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the massage head 100 provided in this embodiment includes a massage head 100 and an annular silicone sleeve 101; the surface of the massage head 100 has an annular massage area, and the annular massage area is provided with an annular groove 102 arranged around the central axis; the annular silicone sleeve 101 is embedded in the annular groove 102, and the annular silicone sleeve 101 has a massage surface 103 on the side away from the central axis, and the massage surface 103 is used to contact the part of the human body to be massaged.

[0028] It should be noted that the massage head 100 body, as a supporting structure, is typically made of a rigid material (such as plastic) to connect the drive mechanism and provide structural support. The massage head 100 body material has low manufacturing cost, which helps reduce production costs.

[0029] It should be noted that the annular massage area is located on the surface of the massage head 100 and is used to arrange the massage contact portion. An annular groove 102 is provided on the annular massage area and arranged around the central axis of the massage head 100. An annular silicone sleeve 101, made of flexible silicone, is embedded in the annular groove 102, possessing good elasticity and skin-friendliness. The massage surface 103 is the outward-facing surface of the annular silicone sleeve 101, used to contact the area of ​​the body to be massaged, thereby achieving the massage effect.

[0030] It should be noted that the existing technology uses a relatively hard plastic massage head 100, which results in poor comfort during the massage process and can easily cause user discomfort. If the massage head 100 were made entirely of silicone, it would be soft and comfortable, but the overall cost would be high, which would not be conducive to large-scale promotion and application. Therefore, the traditional massage head 100 is difficult to balance massage intensity and comfort, which affects user experience and product competitiveness.

[0031] It should be noted that since the massage head 100 comes into direct contact with the skin, the silicone used must be non-toxic, non-irritating, and biocompatible to ensure safety for the human body. To provide a comfortable massage experience, the silicone needs to have appropriate softness and elasticity to conform to the body's curves, while providing sufficient rebound force to achieve an effective massage effect.

[0032] In addition, as a product component used for extended periods, the silicone massage head 100 needs to possess excellent wear resistance and anti-aging properties to ensure that its physical properties remain unchanged even after prolonged use. Considering changes in the usage environment, such as temperature and humidity, the silicone needs to have good cold and heat resistance, as well as resistance to moisture, to ensure normal operation under various conditions.

[0033] For the reasons mentioned above, if the entire massage head 100 were made of silicone, the production cost would increase significantly.

[0034] The design of the massage head 100 provided in this application embodiment, by embedding a flexible silicone sleeve on the rigid massage head 100, not only significantly improves the softness and comfort when in contact with the human body, solving the problem of stiff massage and poor comfort of traditional plastic massage heads 100, but also effectively controls the cost by using silicone material locally, making the product more economical and easier to promote.

[0035] Furthermore, the ring-shaped silicone sleeve 101 provides a good fit while enhancing the massage effect. Its stable structure and easy assembly further improve the product's durability and user experience. As a replaceable component, the ring-shaped silicone sleeve 101 also facilitates later maintenance and replacement, extending the overall lifespan of the massage head 100 and reducing long-term usage costs for users, thereby greatly enhancing the product's market competitiveness and practicality.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in one optional embodiment, the massage head 100 includes a spherical massage head 104; the massage surface 103 is an arc-shaped curved surface 105, and the arc-shaped curved surface 105 protrudes from the opening of the annular groove 102.

[0037] It should be noted that the massage head 100 in this embodiment adopts a spherical structure, and its surface is provided with an annular groove 102, in which an annular silicone sleeve 101 is embedded; the massage surface 103 of the silicone sleeve is an arc-shaped curved surface 105 protruding from the opening of the groove. This arc-shaped curved surface 105 can better fit the curve of the human body, improve the massage contact area and adaptability.

[0038] This embodiment of the application sets the silicone sleeve into an arc-shaped structure that is compatible with the spherical massage head 104, so that the silicone part can come into more natural contact with human skin during the massage, enhancing the gentleness and comfort of the massage, while maintaining the stability and functionality of the overall structure of the massage head 100.

[0039] This embodiment of the application, by employing a spherical massage head 104 and a protruding arc-shaped silicone massage surface 103, further enhances the fit of the massage head 100 to different parts of the human body and improves massage comfort. The arc-shaped surface 105 effectively increases the contact area, making the massage force more even, reducing local pressure, and thus improving the user experience.

[0040] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application also help to improve the assembly stability between the silicone sleeve and the massage head 100 body, prevent the silicone sleeve from shifting or falling off during use, and improve the durability and safety of the product.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, in one optional embodiment, the massage head 100 is provided with a rotating connection portion 106, and the central axis of the annular groove 102 coincides with the rotation axis of the rotating connection portion 106.

[0042] It should be noted that the massage head 100 is provided with a rotating connection part 106 for connecting with the massage arm 109, and the central axis of the annular groove 102 coincides with the rotation axis of the rotating connection part 106.

[0043] This structural design ensures that the massage head 100 maintains good coaxiality and motion stability during rotation. When the annular silicone sleeve 101 rotates synchronously with the massage head 100, its massage surface 103 always moves uniformly around the central axis, thereby ensuring the continuity and consistency of the massage action and improving the massage effect.

[0044] This structural design allows the annular silicone sleeve 101 to rotate stably around the central axis when the spherical massage head 104 massages the user under the action of the massage arm 109, avoiding vibration or uneven contact caused by axis misalignment, thereby improving the smoothness and comfort of the massage process.

[0045] Meanwhile, since the annular silicone sleeve 101 is symmetrically distributed along the central axis, it can act more evenly on the human body surface during rotation, enhancing the gentleness and effectiveness of the massage, and further improving the user experience and overall product performance.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in one optional implementation, the spherical massage head 104 includes a first hemispherical structure 107 and a second hemispherical structure 108; the first hemispherical structure 107 and the second hemispherical structure 108 are fastened together and locked by a connecting component.

[0047] The spherical massage head 104 in this embodiment is composed of a first hemispherical structure 107 and a second hemispherical structure 108, which are assembled by a snap-fit ​​method and locked by a connecting component to form a complete spherical structure. This design facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the spherical massage head 104, and also facilitates the formation of an annular groove 102 and a rotating connecting part 106, so that the annular silicone sleeve 101 can be securely embedded in the annular groove 102 on the surface of the spherical massage head 104. The overall structure is reasonable, the assembly is convenient, and it is beneficial for mass production and subsequent maintenance.

[0048] The embodiments of this application adopt the detachable spherical massage head 104 structure, which not only improves the assembly efficiency of the massage head 100 components, but also facilitates the replacement or repair of the internal structure, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

[0049] It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​design of the hemispherical structure ensures the structural stability and balance of the massage head 100 during rotation, preventing the massage effect or service life from being affected by structural loosening.

[0050] As an optional implementation, the rotating connection 106 includes a first rotating hole and a second rotating hole; one end of the first rotating hole extends toward the center of the spherical massage head 104 and is connected to the second rotating hole; the diameter of the first rotating hole is smaller than that of the second rotating hole.

[0051] The rotating connection portion 106 in this embodiment includes a first rotating hole and a second rotating hole. One end of the first rotating hole extends toward the center of the spherical massage head 104 and connects to the second rotating hole, and the diameter of the first rotating hole is smaller than that of the second rotating hole. This structural design allows the rotating connection portion 106 to adapt to drive shafts or rotating shafts of different sizes. The first rotating hole is used to cooperate with external drive components to achieve a transmission connection, while the second rotating hole can accommodate limiting or positioning structures on the rotating shaft, thereby achieving a stable connection and rotational engagement between the massage head 100 and the drive mechanism, improving the connection strength and transmission reliability of the overall structure.

[0052] The stepped aperture design of the rotating connection part 106 not only enhances the connection stability between the massage head 100 and the drive mechanism, but also facilitates assembly and alignment, improving assembly efficiency and the overall structural reliability of the product. At the same time, by rationally allocating the aperture size, the limiting and guiding functions of the rotating shaft can be realized, ensuring the coaxiality and smooth operation of the massage head 100 during rotation, thereby improving the comfort of the massage process and the stability of the equipment operation.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 As shown, as an optional embodiment, it also includes a massage arm 109, which is provided with a first rotating part 110 and a second rotating part 111. The first rotating part 110 is connected to a first rotating hole, and the second rotating part 111 is connected to a second rotating hole. The first rotating part 110 and the second rotating part 111 form a T-shaped structure.

[0054] It should be noted that the rotating part of the T-shaped structure is adapted to the stepped rotating hole on the massage head 100, so that the massage arm 109 can be stably connected to the massage head 100 and achieve the limiting and guiding function during rotation, thereby enhancing the firmness of the connection and the coaxiality of the rotation, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the massage head 100 during operation.

[0055] This embodiment of the application achieves a stable connection between the massage arm 109 and the massage head 100 through the cooperation of the T-shaped rotating part and the stepped rotating hole, which effectively improves the centering and load-bearing capacity during the transmission process and avoids vibration or noise caused by misalignment or loosening. At the same time, this connection method also has a good limiting function to prevent the massage head 100 from falling off or shifting when rotating at high speed, thereby improving the safety and durability of the product.

[0056] As an optional implementation, the width of the annular groove 102 is greater than or equal to one-third of the diameter of the spherical massage head 104. The geometric center of the annular silicone sleeve 101 coincides with the geometric center of the spherical massage head 104.

[0057] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the width of the annular groove 102 is greater than or equal to one-third of the diameter of the spherical massage head 104, and the geometric center of the annular silicone sleeve 101 coincides with the geometric center of the spherical massage head 104. This structural design ensures that the annular silicone sleeve 101 has sufficient contact area and distribution range on the surface of the massage head 100, enabling it to cover the area to be massaged more extensively. Simultaneously, it ensures that the silicone sleeve experiences uniform force and smooth movement during rotation, improving the comfort and effectiveness of the massage. Furthermore, the coincidence of the silicone sleeve's geometric center with the massage head 100 helps maintain the overall structural balance, avoiding vibration or operational instability caused by eccentricity, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the massage head 100. For example, the width of the annular groove 102 is equal to half the diameter of the spherical massage head 104, which increases the contact area between the annular silicone sleeve 101 and the user's massaged area.

[0058] This embodiment of the application, by setting a wider annular groove 102 and aligning the annular silicone sleeve 101 with the center of the massage head 100, effectively improves the stability and massage coverage of the massage head 100 during use, and enhances its adaptability to different body shapes and parts; at the same time, this design also optimizes the force distribution of the silicone sleeve, reduces local wear, extends its service life, and helps to improve the uniformity and comfort during the massage process.

[0059] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in one optional implementation, the connecting component includes a first snap-fit ​​member disposed on the first hemispherical structure 107 and a second snap-fit ​​member disposed on the second hemispherical structure 108; the first snap-fit ​​member and the second snap-fit ​​member are snapped into each other.

[0060] It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​structure design is simple and easy to operate, which helps to improve assembly efficiency while ensuring the stability and sealing of the overall structure of the massage head 100. The specific shapes of the first and second snap-fit ​​components can be customized by those skilled in the art as needed, and no special limitations are imposed on them.

[0061] It should be noted that bolted connections can also be used. The fit between the bolt and the threaded hole provides a more secure connection and allows users to easily disassemble and replace internal components as needed, further improving the product's maintainability and practicality.

[0062] This application embodiment also provides a massage mechanism, including a drive module and the aforementioned massage head 100; the drive module drives the massage head 100 to massage the part of the human body to be massaged.

[0063] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the drive module is connected to the massage arm 109. By driving the massage arm 109 to swing back and forth, the massage head 100 of the massage mechanism moves back and forth, thereby performing a massage operation on the part of the body to be massaged. Powered by the drive module, the annular silicone sleeve 101 on the massage head 100 comes into contact with the skin during the reciprocating motion, utilizing the flexibility and elasticity of the silicone material to achieve a gentle and comfortable massage experience. This massage mechanism has a compact structure and stable operation. It not only retains good massage intensity but also effectively improves the comfort and fit of the massage through the use of locally flexible materials.

[0064] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
