Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of massager technology, and more specifically, to a massage mechanism and massage components. Background Technology

[0002] A massager is a device that uses physical means to massage various parts of the human body. As people's living standards improve, various types of massagers can be used to meet people's massage needs for different parts of the body. For example, there are shoulder and neck massagers that use vibration or rotation to relieve muscles in the neck or shoulders; back and waist massagers that simulate finger rotation or kneading motions to relieve muscles in the back and waist; and finger and toe massagers that use rolling motions to relieve muscles in the fingers and toes.

[0003] However, massagers typically designed for fingers and toes often employ a one-piece, hollow cylindrical structure to better conform to the shape of the fingers or toes. When skin residue (such as dandruff or sweat) accumulates inside this structure, it cannot be fully expanded during cleaning. This necessitates the use of external cleaning tools. Since these tools may not completely cover the interior of the hollow structure, the cleaning process becomes cumbersome and the cleaning effect is often unsatisfactory. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a massage mechanism that can improve the massage effect, simplify the cleaning process, and enhance the cleaning effect.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a massage mechanism, including a flexible main body, wherein at least one side of the flexible main body is provided with a plurality of massage structures: When the massage mechanism is needed, the flexible main body can be rolled into a cylindrical structure that conforms to the external contour of the area to be massaged; when the massage mechanism needs to be cleaned, the flexible main body can be unfolded.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the flexible main body has good deformation ability, which allows it to switch between rolled-up and unfolded forms, thereby improving the massage effect, simplifying the cleaning process and improving the cleaning effect.

[0007] In some embodiments, the flexible main body has a first surface and a second surface disposed opposite to each other, the first surface being provided with a plurality of first massage structures, and the second surface being provided with a plurality of second massage structures.

[0008] In the above technical solution, by setting a first massage structure on the first surface and a second massage structure on the second surface, different massage structures can be set on the two surfaces of the flexible main body, thereby meeting the massage needs of different massage areas.

[0009] In some embodiments, the height of the first massage structure protruding from the flexible main body is T1, satisfying 1mm≤T1≤40mm; or the height of the second massage structure protruding from the flexible main body is T2, satisfying 1mm≤T2≤30mm.

[0010] In the above technical solution, by setting 1mm≤T1≤40mm and 1mm≤T2≤30mm, the first massage structure and the second massage structure have appropriate dimensions, thereby improving the comfort of the massage process.

[0011] In some embodiments, the flexible body portion includes at least three layers of a first flexible body portion, a second flexible body portion, and a third flexible body portion arranged sequentially along the thickness direction of the flexible body portion, wherein the Shore hardness of the second flexible body portion is greater than that of the first flexible body portion and the third flexible body portion.

[0012] In this embodiment, the flexible main body is provided with at least three layers of a first flexible main body, a second flexible main body, and a third flexible main body arranged along its thickness. The Shore hardness of the second flexible main body is greater than that of the first and third flexible main bodies, so that the flexible main body forms a multi-layer structure made of materials with different hardnesses, thereby enabling the flexible main body to meet the installation requirements of various components.

[0013] In some embodiments, the material of the flexible main body is one or more of TPE, POE, PVC, silicone, and liquid silicone.

[0014] In the above technical solution, by setting the flexible material to one or more of TPE, POE, PVC, silicone, and liquid silicone, the flexible body has a lower elastic modulus due to the lower Shore hardness of materials such as TPE, POE, PVC, silicone, or liquid silicone. Therefore, the softer the flexible body, the easier it is to deform. As a result, the flexible body can more easily deform according to the shape of the massage area during use, allowing the massage structure on the flexible body to better fit the skin of the massage area, further improving the massage effect.

[0015] In some embodiments, a vibration motor is provided inside the flexible body, and the vibration motor drives the flexible body to vibrate.

[0016] In the above technical solution, a vibration motor is installed inside the flexible main body, which causes the flexible main body to vibrate, thereby providing vibrational massage stimulation and further improving the massage effect.

[0017] In some embodiments, a heating component is provided within the flexible body portion, and the heating component exchanges heat with the flexible body portion.

[0018] In the above technical solution, by providing a heating component inside the flexible main body, the flexible main body can simulate the temperature environment during massage, thereby further improving the massage effect.

[0019] In some embodiments, a first adhesive portion is provided on one side of the flexible main body, and a second adhesive portion that cooperates with the first adhesive portion is provided on the other side of the flexible main body.

[0020] In the above technical solution, a detachable connection is achieved by setting a first adhesive part and a second adhesive part, so that the flexible main body can be quickly unfolded through the detachable connection when unfolded, and the rolled-up cylindrical structure can be made more stable through the detachable connection when the flexible main body is rolled up.

[0021] In some embodiments, one side of the flexible main body is provided with a buckle, and the other side of the flexible main body is provided with a slot that engages with the buckle.

[0022] In the above technical solution, a detachable connection is achieved by setting buckles and slots, which allows the flexible main body to be quickly unfolded when unfolded, and the detachable connection can make the rolled-up cylindrical structure more stable when rolled up.

[0023] In some embodiments, a first elastic element is also included, which is sleeved on the flexible body when the flexible body is rolled into a cylindrical structure adapted to the outer contour shape of the area to be massaged.

[0024] In the above technical solution, when the flexible main body is rolled into a cylindrical structure that is suitable for the outer contour shape of the area to be massaged, the first elastic element is sleeved on the flexible main body. The elastic deformation of the first elastic element makes the structure more stable when the flexible main body is in a rolled-up state.

[0025] In some embodiments, the flexible body is made of a flexible material with a hardness range of 00A-20A on the Shore A scale.

[0026] In the above technical solution, by setting the hardness range of the flexible material to Shore hardness 00A-20A, the flexible main body has a low Shore hardness, which in turn results in a low elastic modulus. Therefore, the softer the flexible main body, the easier it is to deform. As a result, during use, the flexible main body can more easily deform according to the shape of the massage area, allowing the massage structure on the flexible main body to better fit the skin of the massage area, further improving the massage effect.

[0027] In some embodiments, the thickness of the flexible main body is T3, which satisfies 1mm≤T3≤20mm.

[0028] In the above technical solution, by setting 1mm≤T3≤20mm, the flexible main body has a suitable thickness, thereby improving the stability of the structure after the flexible main body is rolled into a cylindrical structure.

[0029] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a massage component, including a housing and a massage mechanism provided in any one of the embodiments of the first aspect. The housing has a receiving cavity. When the massage mechanism is needed, the flexible main body can be rolled into a cylindrical structure suitable for the outer contour shape of the area to be massaged, and the flexible main body is disposed within the receiving cavity. In some embodiments, a second elastic member is provided on the flexible main body, and the flexible main body is fixed to the opening of the cavity by the second elastic member.

[0030] In the above technical solution, the flexible main body is fixed to the opening by the elastic element, which improves the stability of the massage component in use.

[0031] In some embodiments, a plurality of anti-slip elements are provided on the inner wall of the cavity, and the plurality of anti-slip elements are uniformly arranged along the circumference of the inner wall of the cavity.

[0032] In the above technical solution, the anti-slip component can reduce the probability of the flexible main body shifting relative to the accommodating cavity. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. 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.

[0058] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used in the description of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the description, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the description, claims, or accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order or hierarchy.

[0059] In this application, the reference to "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0060] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "attachment" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0061] In this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, or B existing alone. Additionally, in this application, the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0062] In the embodiments of this application, the same reference numerals denote the same components, and for the sake of brevity, detailed descriptions of the same components are omitted in different embodiments. It should be understood that the thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of this application shown in the accompanying drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of the integrated device, are merely illustrative and should not constitute any limitation on this application.

[0063] A massager is a device that uses physical means to massage various parts of the human body. As people's living standards improve, various types of massagers can be used to meet people's massage needs for different parts of the body. For example, there are shoulder and neck massagers that use vibration or rotation to relieve muscles in the neck or shoulders; back and waist massagers that simulate finger rotation or kneading motions to relieve muscles in the back and waist; and finger and toe massagers that use rolling motions to relieve muscles in the fingers and toes.

[0064] However, massagers typically designed for fingers and toes often employ a one-piece, hollow cylindrical structure to better conform to the shape of the fingers or toes. When skin residue (such as dandruff or sweat) accumulates inside this structure, it cannot be fully expanded during cleaning. This necessitates the use of external cleaning tools. Since these tools may not completely cover the interior of the hollow structure, the cleaning process becomes cumbersome and the cleaning effect is often unsatisfactory.

[0065] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the technical problem that the cleaning process is cumbersome and the cleaning effect is poor because the hollow cylindrical structure of the massager cannot be unfolded during cleaning, this application provides a massage mechanism, including a flexible main body, at least one side of which is provided with a plurality of massage structures: wherein, when the massage mechanism is needed, the flexible main body can be rolled into a cylindrical structure suitable for the outer contour shape of the part to be massaged; when the massage mechanism needs to be cleaned, the flexible main body can be unfolded.

[0066] In this massage mechanism, a flexible main body is incorporated. Due to its excellent deformability, the flexible main body can switch between rolled-up and unfolded forms under external force. When a massage is needed, the flexible main body can be rolled into a cylindrical structure suitable for the external contour of the massage area. Simultaneously, the flexible main body deforms during rolling, allowing the massage structure mounted on it to better conform to the skin of the massage area, thereby enhancing the massage effect. When cleaning the massage mechanism, the flexible main body can be unfolded, exposing any residue (such as skin flakes and sweat) left on its surface during the massage process. This allows for thorough cleaning with water, simplifying the cleaning process and improving the cleaning effect compared to existing one-piece molded hollow cylindrical massagers.

[0067] In summary, the flexible main body's excellent deformability allows it to switch between rolled-up and unfolded forms, thereby enhancing the massage effect, simplifying the cleaning process, and improving the cleaning result.

[0068] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application (showing the unfolded state). Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided for other embodiments of this application (showing the unfolded state). Figure 3A schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a rolled-up state). Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application (showing the flexible main body). Embodiments of this application provide a massage mechanism including a flexible main body 10, at least one side of which is provided with a plurality of massage structures 11: wherein, when the massage mechanism is needed, the flexible main body 10 can be rolled into a cylindrical structure suitable for the outer contour shape of the area to be massaged; when the massage mechanism needs to be cleaned, the flexible main body 10 can be unfolded.

[0069] In the projection plane perpendicular to the third direction Z, the shape of the orthographic projection of the flexible main body 10 can be a rectangle, triangle, circle or ellipse, etc.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment where the orthographic projection of the flexible main body 10 is rectangular, the size of the flexible main body 10 along the first direction X is L1, satisfying 10cm≤L1≤30cm, and the size of the flexible main body 10 along the second direction Y is L2, satisfying 10cm≤L2≤30cm.

[0071] L1 can be 10cm, 13cm, 16cm, 19cm, 20cm, 23cm, 26cm, 29cm, 30cm, etc., or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0072] L2 can be 10cm, 13cm, 16cm, 19cm, 20cm, 23cm, 26cm, 29cm, 30cm, etc., or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0073] In an embodiment where the orthographic projection of the flexible main body 10 is circular, the radius of the flexible main body 10 is R1, satisfying 10cm≤R1≤30cm.

[0074] R1 can be 10cm, 13cm, 16cm, 19cm, 20cm, 23cm, 26cm, 29cm, 30cm, etc., or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0075] The flexible main body 10 can be rolled into a long tube shape suitable for the outer contour shape of fingers, or into a long tube shape suitable for the outer contour shape of toes.

[0076] The flexible main body 10 can be unfolded either partially into a curved surface or completely into a plane.

[0077] In this embodiment, by providing a flexible main body 10, which has good deformation capability, the flexible main body 10 can switch between rolled up and unfolded forms under the action of external force. When a massage mechanism is needed, the flexible main body 10 can be rolled into a cylindrical structure suitable for the external contour shape of the massage area. At the same time, when the flexible main body 10 is rolled up, it deforms, allowing the massage structure 11 provided on the flexible main body 10 to better fit the skin of the massage area, thereby improving the massage effect. When the massage mechanism needs to be cleaned, the flexible main body 10 can be unfolded, so that the residues (such as skin flakes, sweat, etc.) remaining on the surface of the flexible main body 10 during the massage are in an open state, and can be thoroughly cleaned with water. Therefore, compared with the existing one-piece molded hollow cylindrical massager, the cleaning process can be simplified and the cleaning effect can be improved.

[0078] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5-8 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a first massage structure). Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided for other embodiments of this application (showing a first massage structure). Figure 7 A schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a second massage structure). Figure 8 The schematic diagram of the massage mechanism provided in some other embodiments of this application (showing a second massage structure) shows that the flexible main body 10 has a first surface 12 and a second surface 13 disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 12 is provided with a plurality of first massage structures 111, and the second surface 13 is provided with a plurality of second massage structures 112.

[0079] Along the third direction Z, the flexible main body 10 has an upper surface and a lower surface that are disposed opposite to each other. The first surface 12 can be either the upper surface or the lower surface; the second surface 13 can be either the lower surface or the upper surface, and the third direction Z can be perpendicular to the surface of the flexible main body 10.

[0080] In an embodiment where the first surface 12 is the upper surface, the upper surface may be provided with a plurality of first massage structures 111, and the upper surface may also be provided with a plurality of second massage structures 112.

[0081] In the embodiment where the second surface 13 is the lower surface, the lower surface may be provided with a plurality of first massage structures 111, and the lower surface may also be provided with a plurality of second massage structures 112.

[0082] Both the first massage structure 111 and the second massage structure 112 can be made of flexible material. The hardness range of the flexible material is Shore hardness 00A-60A. The Shore hardness of the flexible material can be 00A, 10A, 20A, 30A, 40A, 50A, 60A, etc., or within the range of any two of the above values. The flexible material can be one or more of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), POE (polyolefin elastomer), PVC (polyvinyl fluoride), silicone, and liquid silicone.

[0083] In this embodiment, by providing a first massage structure 111 on the first surface 12 and a second massage structure 112 on the second surface 13, different massage structures 11 can be provided on the two surfaces of the flexible main body 10, thereby meeting the massage needs of different massage areas.

[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Along the first direction X, several groups of the first massage structure 111 are spaced apart. Along the second direction Y, the first massage structure 111 includes several spaced first protrusions 1111. The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0085] Several groups of first massage structures 111 can be arranged at equal intervals along the first direction X, or they can be arranged at unequal intervals along the first direction X.

[0086] In an embodiment where several groups of first massage structures 111 are equally spaced along a first direction X, the distance between two adjacent groups of first massage structures 111 is D1, satisfying 2mm≤D1≤5mm. D1 can be 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, etc., or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0087] By arranging the first massage structures 111 at equal intervals along the first direction X, and setting 2mm≤D1≤5mm, the spacing between the first massage structures 111 is reasonably set, so that more first massage structures 111 can be evenly distributed on the limited area of ​​the flexible main body 10, thereby further improving the massage effect.

[0088] In an embodiment where several groups of first massage structures 111 are arranged at unequal intervals along a first direction X, the two sides of the flexible main body 10 are a first region 14 and a third region 16, respectively, and the middle part of the flexible main body 10 is a second region 15. The average spacing between two adjacent groups of first massage structures 111 in the first region 14 is D2, the average spacing between two adjacent groups of first massage structures 111 in the third region 16 is D3, and the average spacing between two adjacent groups of first massage structures 111 in the second region 15 is D4, satisfying D2 < D4 and D3 < D4.

[0089] Along the first direction X, the spacing between two adjacent groups of first massage structures 111 located in the first region 14 is D. 21 D 22 D 23 D 24 ......D 2n The average spacing D2 can be D2 = (D 21 +D 22 +D 23 +D 24 ......+D 2n ) / n, where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0090] Along the first direction X, the spacing between two adjacent groups of first massage structures 111 located in the third region 16 is D. 31 D 32 D 33 D 34 ......D 3m The average spacing D3 can be D3 = (D 31 +D 32 +D 33 +D 34 ......+D 3m ) / m, where m is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0091] Along the first direction X, the spacing between two adjacent groups of first massage structures 111 located in the second region 15 is D. 41 D 42 D 43 D 44 ......D 4q The average spacing D4 can be D4 = (D 41 +D 42 +D 43 +D44 ......+D 4q ) / q, where q is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0092] By setting the flexible main body 10 with a first region 14 and a third region 16 on both sides along the first direction X, and a second region 15 in the middle of the flexible main body 10, and setting D2 < D4 and D3 < D4, the distribution of several sets of first massage structures 111 in the second region 15 is relatively sparse, the distribution of several sets of first massage structures 111 in the first region 14 is relatively dense, and the distribution of several sets of first massage structures 111 in the third region 16 is relatively dense. Since the area with a dense distribution of first massage structures 111 can provide a higher intensity of massage stimulation, and the area with a sparse distribution of first massage structures 111 can provide a lower intensity of massage stimulation, different regions can meet the massage needs of different massage parts.

[0093] The shape of the first protrusion 1111 can be one or more of the following: cuboid, cube, sphere, cylinder, and cone.

[0094] In embodiments where the first protrusion 1111 is spherical, the radius of the first protrusion 1111 is R2, satisfying 1mm ≤ R2 ≤ 3mm. R2 can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, etc., or within a range consisting of any two of the above values. The plurality of first protrusions 1111 can be equally spaced along the second direction Y, or they can be unequally spaced along the second direction Y.

[0095] In an embodiment where a plurality of first protrusions 1111 are equally spaced along the second direction Y, the distance between two adjacent first protrusions 1111 is D5, satisfying 1mm≤D5≤4mm. D5 can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, etc., or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0096] In this embodiment, by arranging the first massage structures 111 at intervals along the first direction X, the first massage structures 111 are more rationally distributed on the flexible main body 10, so that the first massage structures 111 can provide comprehensive massage to the massage area. At the same time, by arranging the first massage structure 111 into a plurality of spaced first protrusions 1111, different contact effects can be generated during the massage process through the first protrusions 1111. Therefore, by arranging the first massage structure 111 composed of the first protrusions 1111, the massage effect can be improved.

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 7-10 , Figure 9This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second massage structure in a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the second massage structure in a massage mechanism provided in other embodiments of this application. Along the first direction X, several groups of the second massage structures 112 are spaced apart. Along the second direction Y, the second massage structure 112 includes a second protrusion 1121 that extends continuously along the flexible main body 10. In a projection plane perpendicular to the third direction Z, the orthographic projection of the second protrusion 1121 is elongated or wavy. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0098] Several sets of second massage structures 112 can be arranged at equal intervals along the first direction X, or they can be arranged at unequal intervals along the first direction X.

[0099] In an embodiment where several groups of second massage structures 112 are equally spaced along the first direction X, the spacing between two adjacent groups of second massage structures 112 is D6, satisfying 2mm≤D6≤5mm. D6 can be 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0100] By arranging the second massage structures 112 at equal intervals along the first direction X, and setting the intervals to 2mm≤D6≤5mm, the spacing between the second massage structures 112 is reasonably set, so that more second massage structures 112 can be distributed on the limited area of ​​the flexible main body 10, thereby further improving the massage effect.

[0101] In an embodiment where several groups of second massage structures 112 are arranged at unequal intervals along a first direction X, the two sides of the flexible main body 10 are a first region 14 and a third region 16, respectively, and the middle part of the flexible main body 10 is a second region 15. The average spacing between two adjacent groups of second massage structures 112 in the first region 14 is D7, the average spacing between two adjacent groups of second massage structures 112 in the third region 16 is D8, and the average spacing between two adjacent groups of second massage structures 112 in the second region 15 is D9, satisfying D7 < D8 and D9 < D8.

[0102] Along the first direction X, the spacing between two adjacent groups of second massage structures 112 located in the first region 14 is D. 71 D 72 D 73 D 74 ......D 7e The average spacing D7 can be D7 = (D 71+D 72 +D 73 +D 74 ......+D 7e ) / e, where e is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0103] Along the first direction X, the spacing between two adjacent groups of second massage structures 112 located in the third region 16 is D. 81 D 82 D 83 D 84 ......D 8f The average spacing D8 can be D8 = (D 81 +D 82 +D 83 +D 84 ......+D 8f ) / f, where f is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0104] Along the first direction X, the spacing between two adjacent groups of second massage structures 112 located in the second region 15 is D. 91 D 92 D 93 D 94 ......D 9g The average spacing D9 can be D9 = (D 91 +D 92 +D 93 +D 94 ......+D 9g ) / g, where g is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0105] By setting the flexible main body 10 with a first region 14 and a third region 16 on both sides along the first direction X, and a second region 15 in the middle of the flexible main body 10, and setting D7 < D8 and D9 < D8, the distribution of several sets of second massage structures 112 in the second region 15 is relatively sparse, while the distribution of several sets of second massage structures 112 in the first region 14 is relatively dense, and the distribution of several sets of second massage structures 112 in the third region 16 is relatively dense. Since the area with a dense distribution of second massage structures 112 can provide a higher intensity of massage stimulation, and the area with a sparse distribution of second massage structures 112 can provide a lower intensity of massage stimulation, different regions can meet the massage needs of different massage parts.

[0106] The orthographic projection of the second protrusion 1121 is elongated, or the second protrusion 1121 can be a straight line segment 11211.

[0107] The orthographic projection of the second protrusion 1121 is wavy. The second protrusion 1121 can be a series of curved segments 11212 connected in sequence, or it can be a series of arc segments connected in sequence.

[0108] In this embodiment, by arranging the second massage structures 112 at intervals along the first direction X, the second massage structures 112 are more rationally distributed on the flexible main body 10, allowing the second massage structures 112 to provide comprehensive massage to the massage area. Furthermore, by including second protrusions 1121 extending continuously along the flexible main body 10, the second protrusions 1121, being a continuous structure, can be spirally arranged along the axial direction of the massage area when the massage mechanism is rolled up. This allows the second protrusions 1121 to better cover the massage area circumferentially. The second protrusions 1121 can also produce different contact effects during the massage process. Therefore, by arranging the second massage structure 112 composed of the second protrusions 1121, the massage effect can be improved.

[0109] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a first massage structure and a second massage structure). Figure 12 for Figure 11 A partially enlarged schematic diagram at point A. The height of the first massage structure 111 protruding from the flexible main body 10 is T1, satisfying 10mm≤T1≤40mm; or the height of the second massage structure 112 protruding from the flexible main body 10 is T2, satisfying 10mm≤T2≤30mm.

[0110] T1 can be 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, etc., or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0111] T2 can be 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, etc., or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0112] In this embodiment, when the height of the first massage structure 111 and the second massage structure 112 protruding from the flexible main body 10 is too large, the massage stimulation intensity applied to the massage area by the first massage structure 111 and the second massage structure 112 during massage will be too large, resulting in discomfort during the massage process. Therefore, by setting 10mm≤T1≤40mm and 10mm≤T2≤30mm, the first massage structure 111 and the second massage structure 112 have appropriate dimensions, thereby improving the comfort of the massage process.

[0113] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 13 , Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the flexible main body 10 in a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application. The flexible main body 10 includes at least three layers arranged sequentially along the thickness direction of the flexible main body 10: a first flexible main body 101, a second flexible main body 102, and a third flexible main body 103, wherein the Shore hardness of the second flexible main body 102 is greater than that of the first flexible main body 101 and the third flexible main body 103.

[0114] The thicknesses of the first flexible main body 101, the second flexible main body 102, and the third flexible main body 103 may be the same or different.

[0115] The Shore hardness of the first flexible main body 101 and the second flexible main body 102 can be the same or different.

[0116] The hardness range of the first flexible main body 101 is Shore hardness 00A-20A, the hardness range of the second flexible main body 102 is Shore hardness 20A-60A, and the hardness range of the third flexible main body 103 is Shore hardness 00A-20A.

[0117] The Shore hardness of the first flexible main body 101 can be 00A, 10A, 15A, 20A, or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0118] The Shore hardness of the second flexible main body 102 may be 00A, 10A, 15A, 20A, 30A, 40A, 50A, 60A, etc., or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0119] The Shore hardness of the third flexible main body 103 can be 00A, 10A, 15A, 20A, or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0120] In this embodiment, by providing the flexible main body 10 with at least three layers of a first flexible main body 101, a second flexible main body 102, and a third flexible main body 103 arranged along its thickness, and the Shore hardness of the second flexible main body 102 being greater than that of the first flexible main body 101 and the third flexible main body 103, the flexible main body 10 forms a multi-layer structure composed of materials with different hardness, thereby enabling the flexible main body 10 to meet the installation requirements of various components.

[0121] In some embodiments, the flexible main body 10 is made of one or more of TPE, POE, PVC, silicone, and liquid silicone.

[0122] TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer. For example, TPE can be styrene-based TPE, olefin-based TPE, diene-based TPE, etc., which are materials that can be used to prepare medical-grade products.

[0123] The materials of the first flexible main body 101, the second flexible main body 102, and the third flexible main body 103 can be the same, for example, the materials of the first flexible main body 101, the second flexible main body 102, and the third flexible main body 103 can all be TPE, or they can be different, for example, the material of the first flexible main body 101 can be TPE, the material of the second flexible main body 102 can be POE, and the material of the third flexible main body 103 can be liquid silicone.

[0124] By providing a first flexible main body 101, a second flexible main body 102, and a third flexible main body 103 made of different flexible materials, it is possible to manufacture flexible main body 10 with different structures according to different needs, thereby enabling the flexible main body 10 to meet the needs of various component installations.

[0125] In this embodiment, the flexible main body 10 is made of one or more of TPE, POE, PVC, silicone, and liquid silicone. Since materials such as TPE, POE, PVC, silicone, or liquid silicone have low Shore hardness, the elastic modulus of the flexible main body 10 is low. Therefore, the softer the flexible main body 10 is, the easier it is to deform. As a result, during use, the flexible main body 10 can more easily deform according to the shape of the massage area, so that the massage structure 11 on the flexible main body 10 can better fit the skin of the massage area, further improving the massage effect.

[0126] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 14 The flexible main body 10 is provided with a vibration motor 17, which drives the flexible main body 10 to vibrate.

[0127] In embodiments where the flexible main body 10 has a single-layer structure, the vibration motor 17 can be disposed within the flexible main body 10.

[0128] In an embodiment where the flexible main body 10 includes three layers arranged sequentially along the thickness direction of the flexible main body 10: a first flexible main body 101, a second flexible main body 102, and a third flexible main body 103, the vibration motor 17 can be disposed within the second flexible main body 102. Since the second flexible main body 102 has a greater Shore hardness, disposing of the vibration motor 17 within the second flexible main body 102 makes it easier to install the vibration motor 17.

[0129] In this embodiment, a vibration motor 17 is provided inside the flexible main body 10, and the flexible main body 10 is made to vibrate by the vibration motor 17, thereby providing vibrational massage stimulation and further improving the massage effect.

[0130] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 15 , Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a heating component). A heating component 18 is disposed within the flexible main body 10, and the heating component 18 exchanges heat with the flexible main body 10.

[0131] The heating element 18 can be a heating plate.

[0132] In embodiments where the flexible main body 10 has a single-layer structure, the heating component 18 may be disposed within the flexible main body 10.

[0133] In an embodiment where the flexible main body 10 includes three layers arranged sequentially along the thickness direction of the flexible main body 10: a first flexible main body 101, a second flexible main body 102, and a third flexible main body 103, the heating component 18 can be disposed within the second flexible main body 102. Since the second flexible main body 102 has a higher Shore hardness, it is more convenient to install the heating component 18 by disposing of it within the second flexible main body 102.

[0134] In this embodiment, by providing a heating component 18 inside the flexible main body 10, the flexible main body 10 can simulate the temperature environment during massage, thereby further improving the massage effect.

[0135] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 16 , Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a first adhesive portion and a second adhesive portion). A first adhesive portion 19 is provided on one side of the flexible main body 10, and a second adhesive portion 20 that cooperates with the first adhesive portion 19 is provided on the other side of the flexible main body 10.

[0136] The first adhesive part 19 can be either a textured hook and loop fastener or a pin-faced hook and loop fastener.

[0137] The second adhesive part 20 can be either pin-side hook and loop fastener or loop-side hook and loop fastener.

[0138] In this embodiment, a detachable connection is achieved by setting a first adhesive part 19 and a second adhesive part 20, so that the flexible main body 10 can be quickly unfolded through the detachable connection when unfolded, and the detachable connection can make the rolled-up cylindrical structure more stable when the flexible main body 10 is rolled up.

[0139] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 17 , Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application (showing buckles and slots). One side of the flexible main body 10 is provided with a buckle 21, and the other side of the flexible main body 10 is provided with a slot 22 that engages with the buckle 21.

[0140] In this embodiment, a detachable connection is achieved by setting a buckle 21 and a slot 22, so that the flexible main body 10 can be quickly unfolded through the detachable connection when unfolded, and the detachable connection can make the rolled-up cylindrical structure more stable when the flexible main body 10 is rolled up.

[0141] In some embodiments, Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some embodiments of this application (showing a first elastic element). It also includes a first elastic element 23, which is sleeved on the flexible main body 10 when the flexible main body 10 is rolled into a cylindrical structure suitable for the outer contour shape of the area to be massaged.

[0142] The first elastic element 23 can be an elastic rope or an elastic band.

[0143] In this embodiment, when the flexible main body 10 is rolled into a cylindrical structure suitable for the outer contour shape of the area to be massaged, the first elastic member 23 is sleeved on the flexible main body 10. The elastic deformation of the first elastic member 23 makes the structure more stable when the flexible main body 10 is in a rolled-up state.

[0144] In some embodiments, the flexible main body 10 is made of a flexible material with a hardness range of 00A-20A on the Shore A scale.

[0145] The Shore hardness of flexible materials can be 00A, 10A, 15A, 20A, etc., or within a range consisting of any two of the above values.

[0146] In this embodiment, by setting the hardness range of the flexible material to Shore hardness 00A-20A, the flexible main body 10 has a low Shore hardness, which in turn results in a low elastic modulus of the flexible main body 10. Therefore, the softer the flexible main body 10 is, the easier it is to deform. As a result, during use, the flexible main body 10 is more likely to deform according to the shape of the massage area, so that the massage structure 11 on the flexible main body 10 can better fit the skin of the massage area, further improving the massage effect.

[0147] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 19 , Figure 19A schematic diagram of the structure of a massage mechanism provided in some other embodiments of this application (showing a flexible main body). The thickness of the flexible main body 10 is T3, which satisfies 1mm≤T3≤20mm.

[0148] T3 can be 1mm, 3mm, 5mm, 6mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm, 14mm, 15mm, 18mm, 19mm, 20mm, etc., or within the range of any two of the above values.

[0149] In this embodiment, by setting 1mm≤T3≤15mm, the flexible main body 10 has a suitable thickness, thereby improving the stability of the structure after the flexible main body 10 is rolled into a cylindrical structure.

[0150] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 20 , Figure 20 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a massager provided in some embodiments of this application. An embodiment of this application provides a massager including a housing 30 and a massage mechanism provided in any of the above embodiments. The housing 30 has a receiving cavity 32. When the massage mechanism is needed, the flexible main body 10 can be rolled into a cylindrical structure suitable for the outer contour shape of the area to be massaged, and the flexible main body 10 is disposed within the receiving cavity 32.

[0151] The housing 30 may have an opening, and the housing 30 may include an end cap 31 that closes the opening of the housing 30. Here, "closed" means to cover or shut, and can be either sealed or unsealed.

[0152] The housing 30 is a component used to house the massage mechanism. The housing 30 can be a hollow structure with an opening at one end, or a hollow structure with openings at both opposite ends. The housing 30 can be in various shapes, such as cylindrical or cuboid.

[0153] The end cap 31 and the housing 30 together define a receiving cavity 32 for accommodating the massage mechanism and other components. The shape of the end cap 31 can be adapted to the shape of the housing 30. For example, if the housing 30 is a cuboid structure, the end cap 31 can be a rectangular plate structure adapted to the housing 30; or if the housing 30 is a cylindrical structure, the end cap 31 can be a circular plate structure adapted to the housing 30. In an embodiment where the housing 30 has an opening at one end, one end cap 31 may be provided. In an embodiment where the housing 30 has openings at both opposite ends, two end caps 31 may be provided, with the two end caps 31 respectively closing the two openings of the housing 30, and the two end caps 31 and the housing 30 together defining the receiving cavity 32.

[0154] A heating element can be installed inside the cavity 32. By installing the heating element, the temperature environment during massage can be simulated, further improving the massage effect. A micro vibration motor can also be installed. The vibration generated by the micro vibration motor can provide a massage force and contact sensation with varying degrees of intensity, further improving the massage effect.

[0155] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 21 and Figure 22 The flexible main body 10 is provided with a second elastic element 24, and the flexible main body 10 is fixed to the opening of the accommodating cavity 32 through the second elastic element 24.

[0156] The second elastic element 24 can be an elastic band or an elastic rope.

[0157] In this embodiment, by providing the second elastic element 24, during use, the flexible main body 10 can be rolled into a cylindrical structure suitable for the outer contour shape of the fingers, and the cylindrical structure can be placed into the receiving cavity 32 of the housing 30. One end of the flexible main body 10 abuts against the bottom of the receiving cavity 32, and the other end of the flexible main body 10 extends out of the opening of the receiving cavity 32. In order to reduce the contact between the opening and the massage area, the other end of the flexible main body 10 can be folded down so that it can cover the opening. The second elastic element 24 fixes the flexible main body 10 to the opening, thereby improving the stability of the massage component in use.

[0158] In some embodiments, a plurality of anti-slip elements are provided on the inner wall of the receiving cavity 32, and the plurality of anti-slip elements are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the receiving cavity 32.

[0159] Anti-slip components can be either anti-slip strips or anti-slip blocks.

[0160] In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of anti-slip elements around the flexible main body 10 on the inner wall of the cavity 32, the probability of the flexible main body 10 shifting relative to the cavity 32 can be reduced.

[0161] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit this application. For those skilled in the art, this application can have various modifications and variations. 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.
