[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the bracket is provided with a connecting groove inside, the driving member is at least partially disposed in the connecting groove, and the side wall of the bracket is provided with a connecting boss for connecting with the flexible connector.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the bracket is connected to a pressing member on the side near the bottom of the mounting groove, and the pressing member has a pressing boss protruding on the side facing the bottom of the mounting groove, the pressing boss being the pressing part.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, at least two elastic control members are provided, and the at least two elastic control members are evenly disposed at the bottom of the mounting groove. At least two pressing bosses are provided, and each pressing boss corresponds to one elastic control member.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the elastic control member is elongated and includes a first plate and a second plate. The first end of the first plate is provided with a connecting portion that connects to the inner wall of the mounting groove. The second end of the first plate is connected to the first end of the second plate. Along the direction from the first end to the second end of the second plate, the second plate is inclined away from the bottom of the mounting groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. The drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the shape, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0021] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the present application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present application may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the present application.

[0022] With increasing emphasis on personal health and care, nasal soothing devices, as personal care products that can relieve nasal discomfort, are gradually gaining widespread use. In daily life, users typically carry nasal soothing devices in their bags or pockets for convenient use whenever needed.

[0023] Nasal soothing devices typically control their internal drive mechanism via a single power switch. When the device is placed in a bag or pocket, the uncontrolled pressure from surrounding objects may activate the power switch.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4An embodiment of this application provides a nasal soothing device, including a housing 1, a massage component 2, and an opening / closing member 3. A power supply 4 is disposed within the housing 1, and the power supply 4 is electrically connected to both the massage component 2 and the opening / closing member 3. The housing 1 has a mounting groove 101, which is recessed from the outer surface of the housing 1 towards its interior. The massage component 2 is at least partially disposed within the mounting groove 101, which also provides space for the downward movement of the massage component 2 under pressure. The massage component 2 is connected to the housing 1, with a portion of the massage component 2 residing within the mounting groove 101 and another portion extending out of the housing 1 through the opening of the mounting groove 101, so that the massage component 2 can contact the nose. The opening / closing member 3 is at least partially disposed within the housing 1 to control the connection or disconnection of the power supply 4 to the massage component 2.

[0025] The mounting groove 101 is also provided with an elastic control member 5. The elastic control member 5 has a first contact point 51 and a second contact point 52. The first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52 are configured to control the opening or closing of the massage component 2. The massage component 2 has a pressing part 241. The pressing part 241 moves along the direction close to or away from the bottom of the mounting groove 101 so that the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52 contact or separate. After the pressing part 241 separates from the elastic control member 5, the elastic control member 5 restores the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52 to their initial state under its own elastic force.

[0026] Massage component 2 drives the pressing part 241 along Figure 3 The motion is reciprocating in the Y-direction (up and down direction).

[0027] Option 1: The pressing part 241 moves downward, squeezing the elastic control member 5, causing the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52 to come into contact together. The elastic control member 5 sends an "on" control signal to the massage component 2, causing the massage component 2 to start vibrating and massaging. When the pressing part 241 moves upward, the pressing part 241 releases the pressure on the elastic control member 5, the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52 separate, and the elastic control member 5 sends a "off" control signal to the massage component 2, causing the massage component 2 to stop vibrating and massaging.

[0028] Option 2: The pressing part 241 moves downward, squeezing the elastic control member 5, causing the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52 to come into contact together. The elastic control member 5 sends a "close" control signal to the massage component 2, causing the massage component 2 to stop vibrating and massaging. When the pressing part 241 moves upward, the pressing part 241 releases the pressure on the elastic control member 5, the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52 separate, and the elastic control member 5 sends an "open" control signal to the massage component 2, causing the massage component 2 to start vibrating and massaging.

[0029] All of the above control methods can be used to control this application, and no limitation is imposed in this application. In this embodiment, Scheme 1 is adopted for control. When the user applies pressure to the nose with the massage component 2, the massage component 2 moves into the mounting groove 101 relative to the housing 1. The massage component 2 drives the pressing part 241 to approach the bottom of the mounting groove 101. The pressing part 241 acts on the control member, causing the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52 to contact. After the opening and closing member 3 and the control member are both in the conductive state, the power supply circuit of the massage component 2 forms a closed circuit. After the user reduces the pressing pressure or removes the nose soothing device from the nose, the external force applied to the massage component 2 decreases. The massage component 2 and the pressing part 241 move away from the bottom of the mounting groove 101. The control member is no longer continuously pressed by the pressing part 241, the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52 separate, the power supply circuit is disconnected, and the massage component 2 stops operating.

[0030] By incorporating an opening / closing component 3 within the housing 1 as a primary electrical master switch and a control component within the mounting groove 101 as a secondary mechanical trigger switch, a dual control mechanism is constructed, linking the electrical master switch with the mechanical pressure trigger. When the user manually opens the opening / closing component 3, the device enters a standby state, and the power supply circuit remains disconnected. Only when the user presses the massage component 2 against the nose, causing the massage component 2 to move the pressing part 241 towards the bottom of the mounting groove 101, resulting in physical contact between the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52, does the power supply circuit truly form a closed loop, and the device immediately starts operating. This improves the problem of accidental touches, reduces the probability of unexpected power consumption and overheating, and makes the device more convenient to carry and store.

[0031] In one embodiment of this application, the housing 1 is further provided with a battery compartment for accommodating the power supply 4. The power supply 4 is disposed inside the battery compartment. The housing 1 is also provided with a charging port 7, which is disposed adjacent to the opening and closing member 3. The charging port 7 is electrically connected to the power supply 4 and is used to charge the power supply 4.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, the housing 1 further includes a battery compartment for accommodating a power source 4. The power source 4 is disposed inside the battery compartment. The housing 1 has a first opening for the power source 4 to pass through, and the battery compartment communicates with the outside of the housing 1 through the first opening. A cover plate is detachably disposed on the housing 1, covering the first opening to seal the battery compartment. This helps prevent the power source 4 from falling out and also helps prevent external dust and impurities from entering the battery compartment. The cover plate can be connected to the housing 1 by means of hinges or snap-fit ​​connections. When it is necessary to remove or install the power source 4, the cover plate is removed from the housing 1, allowing the power source 4 to enter or leave the battery compartment through the first opening. After the power source 4 is installed or replaced, the cover plate is reconnected to the housing 1 to keep the battery compartment sealed.

[0033] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of this application, a flexible connector 6 is provided between the massage component 2 and the housing 1, and the massage component 2 is connected to the housing 1 through the flexible connector 6. One side of the flexible connector 6 is connected to the massage component 2, and the other side is connected to the housing 1. When the massage component 2 is subjected to a force toward the bottom of the mounting groove 101, the flexible connector 6 undergoes bending, stretching, compression, or a combination of the above deformations, causing the massage component 2 to produce a controlled displacement relative to the housing 1. The flexible connector 6 provides support for the massage component 2 while also providing a clearance for the displacement of the pressing part 241.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, the flexible connector 6 may be a silicone-supported component or a spring. In this embodiment, the flexible connector 6 is a spring, so that during operation, the spring absorbs the vibration of the massage component 2 through deformation, thereby reducing the vibration of the housing 1 and effectively reducing the vibration force on the user's hand.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, the massage assembly 2 includes a support 21, a drive member 22, and a massage ball 23. The massage ball 23 has a receiving cavity 231 inside, and a second opening is provided at the bottom of the massage ball 23. The bottom of the receiving cavity 231 communicates with the outside through the second opening of the massage ball 23. The massage ball 23, as a component of the massage assembly 2 that can contact the nose, forms a contact surface on its outer side and surrounds the receiving cavity 231 on its inner side. The receiving cavity 231 provides installation space for the support 21 and the drive member 22.

[0036] The support 21 is cylindrical and connected to the housing 1 via a flexible connector 6. A connecting groove is provided inside the support 21, and the drive component 22 is at least partially disposed within the connecting groove and connected to the support 21. The connecting groove restricts the position of the drive component 22 relative to the support 21, allowing the vibration generated by the drive component 22 during operation to be transmitted to the support 21. The support 21 then transmits the vibration to the massage ball 23, which in turn applies a soothing vibration to the nose. The drive component 22 can be a miniature vibration motor to accommodate the internal installation space of the massage assembly 2. The support 21 serves both as the mounting base for the massage ball 23 and the drive component 22 and as the force transmission structure between them.

[0037] In one embodiment of this application, a limiting groove is provided in the middle of the receiving cavity 231, and a limiting boss protrudes outward from the side wall of the bracket 21. The limiting boss extends into the limiting groove to achieve a fixed connection between the bracket 21 and the receiving cavity 231.

[0038] In one embodiment of this application, the side wall of the bracket 21 is provided with a connecting boss for connecting with the flexible connector 6, the connecting boss facing... Figure 3The flexible connector 6 protrudes in the X direction and connects to the connecting boss and the housing 1. The connecting boss provides a clear mounting position for the flexible connector 6, enabling the flexible connector 6 to provide support and reset for the bracket 21.

[0039] In one embodiment of this application, the bracket 21 is connected to the pressing member 24 on the side near the bottom of the mounting groove 101. The pressing member 24 has a pressing boss protruding from the side facing the bottom of the mounting groove 101. The pressing boss is a pressing part 241, which can contact the control member before other areas of the pressing member 24. This protruding structure reduces the probability of the pressing member 24 making large-area contact with other structures at the bottom of the mounting groove 101 and helps to concentrate the downward pressure on the moving parts of the control member.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, at least two elastic control elements 5 are provided, and the at least two elastic control elements 5 are evenly disposed at the bottom of the mounting groove 101. At least two pressing bosses are provided, and each pressing boss corresponds to one elastic control element 5. With at least two elastic control elements 5 and pressing bosses, only one pressing boss is needed to close the corresponding first contact point 51 and second contact point 52 to realize the opening of the massage component 2, thereby effectively ensuring the normal opening of the massage component 2.

[0041] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment of this application, the elastic control member 5 is elongated and includes a first plate 53 and a second plate 54. The first plate 53 and the second plate 54 are integrally formed and both the first plate 53 and the second plate 54 can recover their deformation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first plate 53 is vertically arranged. The first end of the first plate 53 has a connecting portion that connects to the inner wall of the mounting groove 101. The connecting portion of the first plate 53 is bent towards the outside of the mounting groove 101, so that the connecting portion overlaps the housing 1. The connecting portion and the housing 1 are connected by welding or bolts. The second end of the first plate 53 is bent so that it fits against the bottom surface of the mounting groove 101. The second end of the first plate 53 is connected to the first end of the second plate 54. From the first end of the second plate 54 to the second end of the second plate 54, the second plate 54 is inclined away from the bottom of the mounting groove 101. The second end of the second plate 54 is suspended relative to the second end of the first plate 53, and the second end of the second plate 54 is located between the first plate 53 and the pressing portion 241. The first contact point 51 is located on the first section plate 53, and the second contact point 52 is located on the second section plate 54. There is a gap between the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52. When the pressing part 241 moves downward, it presses the second section plate 54 downward, causing the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52 to come into contact. By using a long strip plate, the control component can be arranged within the limited space at the bottom of the mounting groove 101. The control component forms an elastic deformation zone along its length, eliminating the need for a large enclosed switch housing 1. This structure helps reduce the space occupied by the trigger structure in the depth direction of the mounting groove 101 and facilitates direct pressure from above by the pressing part 241.

[0043] In one embodiment of this application, the second end of the second plate 54 is bent toward the first plate 53, forming a V-shaped structure. The bend of the second plate 54 is opposite to the pressing part 241. When the pressing part 241 descends, it contacts the bend of the second plate 54 first, and the second contact point 52 is located at the end of the second end of the second plate 54, closer to the first plate 53. This makes the movement path required by the pressing part 241 shorter, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the trigger structure in the depth direction of the mounting groove 101. Moreover, the second contact point 52 does not directly bear the collision or friction of the pressing part 241, which helps to maintain the surface condition of the contact point.

[0044] In one embodiment of this application, the first segment 53 is the first contact point as a whole, and the second segment 54 is the second contact point as a whole. Any point of the first segment 53 and any point of the second segment 54 are in contact with each other, which is the contact between the first contact point 51 and the second contact point 52.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment of this application, the housing 1 includes an inner frame 11, a first outer frame 12, and a second outer frame 13, which are disposed opposite to each other. The inner frame 11 has a fixing cavity for mounting a power supply 4. The inner frame 11 provides load-bearing and circumferential restraint for the power supply 4, reducing the probability of the massage component 2 directly colliding with the power supply 4 during movement. The inner frame 11 is provided with a first notch for accommodating the massage component 2. The first notch is located at the top of the inner frame 11 and is formed by a downward indentation of the inner frame 11. The first notch is used to accommodate the massage component 2.

[0046] The first outer frame 12 is connected to the first side of the inner frame 11 to seal the fixing cavity and fix the power supply 4.

[0047] The second outer frame 13 is connected to the second side of the inner frame 11. The first and second sides are opposite sides of the inner frame 11. The top of the second outer frame 13 has a second notch, which is also used to accommodate the massage component 2. A limiting ring is provided in the middle of the second notch to limit the height of the massage component 2, which helps to prevent the massage component 2 from detaching. The bottom of the bracket 21 has a limiting rib 211 that protrudes radially. The limiting rib 211 cooperates with the limiting ring to limit the massage component 2.

[0048] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this application should still be covered by the claims of this application.
