Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of this application will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, integral connections, mechanical connections, electrical connections, direct connections, indirect connections via an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a massager 100. The massager 100 is mainly used for massaging and caring for the muscles of the arms, thighs and calves, and can also be used for the care of other body parts or joints.

[0024] The massager 100 includes a base 1, a drive unit 2, a positioning unit 3, and a massage unit 4 having a flexible outer surface. The drive unit 2 is at least partially housed within the base 1 and is used to drive the massage unit 4 to perform reciprocating motion for massage care.

[0025] The positioning part 3 is disposed at the first side end 11 of the base 1. The positioning part 3 has a ring-shaped structure, and the size of its inner cavity 31 is adjustable, so as to adapt to external components of different sizes, such as rods, table corners, and other fixed objects, as well as body parts such as arms and fingers. By fitting the positioning part 3 onto the external component, the massager 100 can be fixed. That is to say, in addition to being used for the user to hold, the positioning part 3 can be worn on the user's limbs or fixed to the external component by fitting, so that the user does not need to operate it by hand.

[0026] The massage unit 4 is located at the second side end 12 of the base 1 and is driven by the drive unit 2 along... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The massage unit 4 moves back and forth in the X direction. When the area to be massaged (such as the arm, thigh, or calf) is pressed against the front end of the massage unit 4, a tapping massage effect is produced; when the area to be massaged is pressed against the side of the massage unit 4, a kneading massage effect is achieved. In addition, when massaging joints such as the elbow crease or popliteal fossa, the massage unit 4 can simultaneously knead the limbs on both sides of the joint and tap the joint crease, achieving a compound massage effect.

[0027] The massager 100 provided in this application uses the reciprocating motion of the massage unit 4 to periodically rub and / or press the massaged area at a preset frequency, which helps relax muscles and promote local blood circulation. The positioning unit 3 is easy for the user to hold and operate, improving ease of use. The positioning unit 3 can also be worn on the limb or fixed to an external component, thereby freeing the user's hands. While receiving a massage, the user's hands can be used for other operations, such as operating a mobile phone, reading, studying, or other daily tasks, further enhancing the flexibility and convenience of use.

[0028] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the base 1 is a hollow ellipsoidal shell structure. Specifically, the base 1 includes a first rigid body 13 and a first soft body 14 covering the outside of the first rigid body 13. One end of the driving part 2 is disposed inside the first rigid body 13, and the other end extends out of the first rigid body 13 and is connected to the massage part 4.

[0029] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the massage part 4 is a rod-shaped structure extending generally along the X direction. Specifically, the massage part 4 includes a second rigid body 41 and a second soft body 42 covering the outside of the second rigid body 41. The other end of the drive part 2 extends out of the first rigid body 13 and connects to the second rigid body 41.

[0030] The first rigid body 13 and / or the second rigid body 41 include, but are not limited to, rigid plastics such as polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polycarbonate (PC) to provide structural support for the normal operation of their internal structural components.

[0031] The first soft body 14 and / or the second soft body 42 are, but are not limited to, non-toxic, antibacterial silicone with good chemical stability. Using soft and skin-friendly silicone material can improve the user experience of the product.

[0032] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the massager 100 also includes a retractable transition portion 6 connecting the second side end 12 of the base 1 and the massage part 4. Specifically, the transition portion 6 is made of a soft material with a certain elasticity, such as silicone, which may be made of the same material as the first soft body 14 and / or the second soft body 42. To ensure that the massager 100 has good integrity and a smooth, continuous shape, the transition portion 6 is integrally connected between the first soft body 14 and the second soft body 42, forming a seamless transition, that is, the transition portion 6 and the first and second soft bodies 14 and 42 are integrally molded structures.

[0033] When the massage unit 4 reciprocates along the X direction, the transition unit 6 can rely on its own elastic deformation to ensure that the first soft body 14 and the second soft body 42 remain connected at all times. In some embodiments, the transition unit 6 is corrugated, that is, the transition unit 6 is generally a flexible tubular member with corrugated folds that can be folded along the X direction. In other embodiments, the thickness of the transition unit 6 is less than the thickness of the first soft body 14 and / or the second soft body 42, thereby giving the transition unit 6 better elastic deformation capability relative to the first soft body 14 and / or the second soft body 42, and making it easier to generate a stretching response with the movement of the massage unit 4.

[0034] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 generally includes front and rear side surfaces opposite each other in the X direction, and upper and lower side surfaces opposite each other in the Z direction, wherein the Z direction is perpendicular to the X direction. The first side end 11 of the base 1 is located on its lower side surface, and the second side end 12 of the base 1 is located on its front side surface. One end of the massage part 4 is connected to the second side end 12 on the front side surface of the base 1, and the other end extends in the X direction. The positioning part 3 is generally an annular structure connected to the first side end 11 on the lower side surface of the base 1. The inner cavity 31 of the positioning part 3 is located within its annular structure, and the axial direction of the annular structure of the positioning part 3 is substantially parallel to the X direction. That is, the axial direction of the positioning part 3 is substantially consistent with the direction of reciprocating motion of the massage part 4.

[0035] Specifically, in one embodiment, the first side end 11 of the positioning part 3 connected to the base 1 is adjacent to the second side end 12 of the massage part 4 connected to the base 1, so that when the external component is fitted into the positioning part 3, the massage part 4 can abut against the external component. For example, the second side end 12 may be located in the lower region of the front surface of the base 1 and adjacent to the lower surface of the base 1. This arrangement is particularly suitable for kneading massage of the arms, thighs, and calves. For example, when the arm is fitted into the positioning part 3, the user does not need to hold the massager 100 with effort, and the reciprocating motion direction of the massage part 4 is approximately parallel to the extension direction of the arm. When it fits tightly against the surface of the arm, it can perform periodic kneading and pushing movements along the extension direction of the arm.

[0036] Specifically, the positioning part 3 is made of a soft material with a certain degree of elasticity, so that the positioning part 3 can adapt to the different limb sizes or other fixed protrusions of different users by its own elastic deformation. The positioning part 3 may be made of silicone, including but not limited to the same material as the first soft body 14 and / or the second soft body 42. In order to further ensure that the massager 100 has good integrity and a smooth continuous shape, in one embodiment, the positioning part 3 and the first soft body 14 are integrally molded.

[0037] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first soft body 14, the second soft body 42, the positioning part 3, and the transition part 6 are integrally formed to create the soft outer shell of the massager 100. To facilitate the installation of the internal structure of the massager 100, the soft outer shell also has an installation opening 141, which is preferably located on the rear surface of the base 1 of the first soft body 14.

[0038] In one embodiment, the positioning part 3 includes at least one ring. That is, the positioning part 3 may be composed of one or more rings to better adapt to the structural shape of the massaged area or external component. Furthermore, the positioning part 3 can be specifically designed according to the structural shape of the massaged area or external component. For example, in conjunction with… Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the positioning part 3 includes a first ring 32 and a second ring 33 with different inner diameters. The first ring 32 and the second ring 33 are spaced apart from each other. The outer peripheral walls of the first ring 32 and the second ring 33 are connected to the first side end 11 of the base 1, preferably connected to the first soft body 14. The massage part 4 and the base 1 are both located on the same side of the outer periphery of the first ring 32 and the second ring 33. The second ring 33 is closer to the massage part 4 than the first ring 32. When not stretched, the inner diameter of the first ring 32 is larger than the inner diameter of the second ring 33.

[0039] In one embodiment, the inner diameters of the first ring 32 and the second ring 33 range from 5 mm to 100 mm. For example, in one embodiment, the inner diameters of the first ring 32 and the second ring 33 are 10 mm and 8 mm, respectively. After stretching and deformation, the first ring 32 and / or the second ring 33 can be fitted onto the massaged area or external component. Furthermore, under elastic contraction force, the first ring 32 and / or the second ring 33 can fit tightly against the massaged area or external component, preventing them from easily falling off.

[0040] In one embodiment, the first ring 32 and / or the second ring 33 are complete annular structures. In other embodiments, the first ring 32 and / or the second ring 33 are non-closed annular structures with openings. The openings enhance the elastic deformation capability of the first ring 32 and / or the second ring 33, allowing them to deform more easily and enabling the massaged area or external components to be quickly and conveniently fixed into the first ring 32 and / or the second ring 33. Furthermore, the first ring 32 and / or the second ring 33 are not limited to being circular rings; they can be elliptical rings, square rings, or other irregularly shaped rings.

[0041] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 3 to 5As shown, at least one of the base 1 and the massage part 4 is provided with a vibrating element 5, which is a vibration motor. Specifically, a vibrating element 5 is provided inside the first rigid body 13 of the base 1, and a vibrating element 5 is also provided inside the second rigid body 41 of the massage part 4. The provision of a vibration motor enables the massage to have a high-frequency vibration effect, thereby improving the massage experience of the product.

[0042] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the drive unit 2 includes a drive motor 21 and a drive rod 25. The drive motor 21 is fixedly installed in the base 1. One end of the drive rod 25 is connected to the drive motor 21 for transmission, and the other end extends into the massage unit 4. The drive unit 2 is configured to convert the rotational motion of the drive motor 21 into the extension and retraction motion of the drive rod 25, thereby driving the massage unit 4 to reciprocate.

[0043] The form in which the rotational motion of the drive motor 21 is converted into the extension and retraction motion of the drive rod 25 is not particularly limited. For example, the drive unit 2 may be further provided with a lead screw and slider mechanism. By connecting the drive motor 21 to the lead screw, the lead screw and slider can be coupled to convert the rotation of the lead screw into the linear motion of the slider along the axis of the lead screw, and then drive the drive rod 25 to perform linear reciprocating motion through the slider.

[0044] For example, the drive unit 2 can be further equipped with a gear and rack mechanism. By connecting the drive motor 21 to the gear transmission, the rotating gear meshes with the rack, and the rotation of the gear drives the rack to move in a straight line, which in turn drives the drive rod 25 to perform linear reciprocating motion. In addition, the drive unit 2 can also be further equipped with transmission components such as a crank-slider mechanism and a cam mechanism to convert the rotational motion of the drive motor 21 into the extension and retraction motion of the drive rod 25.

[0045] Exemplary, in one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the drive motor 21 is fixedly mounted inside the first rigid body 13, and the rotation axis of the drive motor 21 is parallel to the Z direction. The drive unit 2 also includes a turntable 23 that is torque-transmittedly connected to the drive motor 21 and an eccentric column 24 that is eccentrically mounted on the turntable 23. Both the turntable 23 and the eccentric column 24 are mounted inside the first rigid body 13. The drive rod 25 extends along the X direction and has a groove 251 at one end. The groove 251 is a strip-shaped groove that extends along the Y direction, which is perpendicular to the X and Z directions. The eccentric column 24 revolves around the turntable 23 and is slidably inserted into the groove 251 along the Z direction. The other end of the drive rod 25 extends out of the first rigid body 13 and is fixedly connected to the second rigid body 41 of the massage unit 4.

[0046] When the massager 100 is working, the drive motor 21 drives the turntable 23 to rotate around the Z direction, causing the eccentric column 24 to make circular motion in the XY plane. Due to the sliding engagement between the eccentric column 24 and the slide groove 251 on the drive rod 25, the circular motion of the eccentric column 24 is decomposed into two parts by the slide groove 251. The motion of the eccentric column 24 in the Y direction is converted into relative sliding in the slide groove 251, while the motion of the eccentric column 24 in the X direction directly drives the drive rod 25, causing it to make reciprocating motion along the X direction. Finally, the drive rod 25 drives the second rigid body 41 of the massage part 4 to make reciprocating motion.

[0047] Specifically, in one embodiment, the drive unit 2 further includes a reduction gearbox 22 connected between the drive motor 21 and the turntable 23. The gearbox converts the high-speed, low-torque output of the drive motor 21 into the low-speed, high-torque output required by the turntable 23 through the principle of speed reduction and torque increase, ensuring that the massage unit 4 has sufficient power to overcome limb resistance and guarantee the massage intensity.

[0048] In one embodiment, combined with Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the drive unit 2 also includes at least one guide member 26 fixed within the base 1. The at least one guide member 26 slides in conjunction with the drive rod 25 in the X direction to ensure smooth reciprocating motion of the drive rod 25 along the X direction. Specifically, the at least one guide member 26 includes two guide members 26, which extend parallel to each other in the X direction and are fixed at intervals in the Y direction within the first rigid body 13. In this embodiment, the guide member 26 has a rod-shaped structure, and a guide block 252 is provided on each opposite side of the drive rod 25 along the Y direction. Each guide block 252 has a guide hole 253 that slides in conjunction with a guide member 26 along the X direction.

[0049] In other embodiments, the guide member 26 can also be a guide groove formed on the inner wall of the base 1. By providing a slider on the drive rod 25 that slides in cooperation with the guide groove, the same guiding function can be achieved.

[0050] In one embodiment, the contour size of the massage part 4 on the YZ plane is smaller than that of the base 1 on the YZ plane. This means that the contour size of the massage part 4 perpendicular to the extension direction (X direction) is smaller, thereby enabling the massage part 4 to accurately penetrate into the hollow areas of the body such as the elbow crease and the popliteal fossa, effectively performing targeted tapping massage, and avoiding interference or dispersion of force caused by excessive size.

[0051] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the massager 100 also includes a circuit board 91 and a battery 90 disposed within the base 1. The battery 90 is electrically connected to the drive motor 21 and the vibration motor via the circuit board 91, and supplies power to the drive motor 21 and the vibration motor. Preferably, a control button is provided on the housing. The control button is electrically connected to the drive motor 21 and the vibration motor via the circuit board 91. Through the control button, the user can control the drive motor 21, such as start / stop, direction, and speed, and can control the vibration motor, such as start / stop and vibration frequency.

[0052] In one embodiment, the battery 90 may be a removable battery 90 for easy replacement by the user. In another embodiment, the battery 90 may also be a rechargeable battery 90 fixedly disposed within the base 1.

[0053] The above embodiments are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.
