As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any combination of one or more of the listed items.Referring to FIGS. 1-3, an embodiment of the present application shows a massage apparatus 100 comprising: a housing 10 disposed along a first direction of the massage apparatus 100 and provided with a recess 20; a drive mechanism 30 disposed in the housing 10; and a swing mechanism 40 connected to the drive mechanism 30 in a transmitting relationship and disposed in the recess 20, the drive mechanism 30 configured to impart a circular oscillation to the swing mechanism 40 in a predetermined direction.The implementation of the embodiments of the present application has the following advantageous effects.In the massager 100, the driving mechanism 30 and the swing mechanism 40 are respectively attached to the housing 10 to form an appropriately structured and compact organic unit that is small, light, and convenient to operate. For example, when massaging the arm of the user, the arm may be placed directly on the housing 10, and the part of the arm to be massaged may be brought into contact with the swing mechanism 40. Then, the drive mechanism 30 is activated to drive the swing mechanism 40 to perform circular oscillation in the recess 20 in a predetermined direction, thereby providing a swing massage for the arm having a sedative massage effect on symptoms such as poor blood flow and stiff and pain muscles. As compared with the related art, the massager 100 can massage the arm automatically without increasing the load and fatigue of the user, and the massage effect and user experience are good; and the recess 20 provides the space required for the circular oscillation of the swing mechanism 40, whereby the swing mechanism 40 and the housing 10 can be more compactly arranged, thereby reducing the overall size of the massager 100 and achieving a miniaturized design.In the present application, the housing 10 may be made of a variety of materials, such as metal or plastic. Preferably, the housing 10 is made of plastic to provide some structural strength, reduce the weight of the entire device, allow for ease of construction, and improve the user experience.Referring to Figs. 1 to 9, in order to facilitate the holding and massage, the housing 10 is provided with an elongated structure. For example, in one embodiment, the housing 10 includes a first part 11, a second part 12, and a third part 13; wherein the first part 11, the second part 12, and the third part 13 are sequentially arranged along the first direction of the massager 100; the second part 12 is connected between the first part 11 and the third part 13, and the first part 11, the second part 12, and the third part 13 enclose each other to form the recess 20.This arrangement enables the recess 20 to be easily formed without machining, which reduces the manufacturing cost and trouble. In addition, the massager 100 can be formed into a long, narrow shape that is small and occupies less space.For example, the first direction may be the longitudinal direction of the massage device 100. That is, as indicated by the arrow S in FIG. 1.In order to improve the feeling of comfort when using the massage device, in one embodiment at least one of the first part 11, the second part 12 and the third part 13 is covered on the outside with a soft layer. The soft layer can be soft rubber, for example. Soft rubber has flexible contact with the skin, and the contact feels good and comfortable.In the present application, the first part 11, the second part 12, and the third part 13 form an integral structure. The outer surfaces of the first part 11, the second part 12 and the third part 13 are simultaneously covered with a soft layer, which also has an integral structure, so that both a comfortable grip and a massage can be achieved.In one embodiment, the drive mechanism 30 is disposed in the inner chamber of the first part 11, and the swing mechanism 40 is disposed on the side wall of the first part 11 used to enclose the recess 20 and is connected to the drive mechanism 30 in a transmitting relationship. Alternatively, the drive mechanism 30 may be disposed in the inner chamber of the third part 13 and the swing mechanism 40 may be disposed on the side wall of the third part 13 used to enclose the recess 20 and connected to the drive mechanism 30 in a transmitting relationship.With this arrangement, the oscillating mechanism 40 can protrude into the recess 20 and can perform circular oscillation with the large space provided by the recess 20, thereby achieving arm massage for smoothening muscles and promoting blood circulation; and allowing the massager 100 to take various product shapes to meet the preferences and needs of various consumers.In the present application, the swing mechanism 40 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise at a constant or variable speed. The swing angle of the swing mechanism 40 ranges from 0° to 60°.Referring to FIGS. 1 to 9, in another embodiment, the drive mechanism 30 includes a drive motor 31 and a drive shaft 32; the drive shaft 32 includes a first shaft body 321 and a second shaft body 322 that are connected to each other at an angle; an end of the first shaft body 321 remote from the second shaft body 322 is connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor 31; at least an end of the second shaft body 322 remote from the first shaft body 321 protrudes into the recess 20, and the second shaft body 322 is connected to the drive mechanism 30 in a transmitting relationship.Since the first shaft body 321 and the second shaft body 322 are connected to each other at an angle, the second shaft body 322 can swing in a circle with the center axis of the first shaft body 321 as the rotation center. It is easily understood that the angle between the central axis of the second shaft body 322 and the central axis of the first shaft body 321 is the swing angle of the swing mechanism 40. Thus, when the drive motor 31 rotates the first shaft body 321, the second shaft body 322 can bring the swing mechanism 40 into a circular oscillation within the recess 20, thereby achieving a kneading massage for the arm. This type of drive structure and method is simple, highly implementable, inexpensive, highly reliable, and durable.In an embodiment, the swing mechanism 40 includes a swing shell 41, and the swing shell 41 is connected to the second shaft body 322. The second shaft body 322 is rigidly connected to the swing shell 41 so that the second shaft body 322 can transmit rotational force to the swing shell 41, thereby driving the swing mechanism 40 as a whole to perform swing motion.The connection between the oscillating shell 41 and the second shaft body 322 can consist, for example, but not exclusively, of at least one snap-fit connection, a screw connection, or an adhesive connection.In one embodiment, since the swing mechanism 40 also needs to contact the arm during operation and generates a kneading contact force with the arm, the swing mechanism 40 further includes a flexible sleeve attached to the outside of the swing shell 41 to reduce the perceived intensity of this kneading pressure acting on the skin and improve massage comfort.The flexible sleeve is, for example, a soft rubber sleeve.In addition, the swing mechanism 40 further includes a first vibration motor 50, and the first vibration motor 50 is disposed in the swing shell 41. While the swing mechanism 40 performs kneading massage on the arm, the first vibration motor 50 simultaneously outputs vibration force so that the vibration and kneading effects are combined, which promotes the mitigation of muscle cataler, poor blood flow, and other problems, and enhances the massage effect of the massager 100.Likewise, the arm comes into contact with the outer wall of the third part 13 during massage. In an embodiment, the massage device 100 further comprises a second vibration motor 60 arranged in the inner chamber of the third part 13. The vibration force generated by the second vibration motor 60 is transmitted to the arm, which can also improve the massage effect.Moreover, the first part 11 is arranged at an angle to the second part 12 and the first part 11 is inclined to the oscillating mechanism 40. A protrusion 111 is disposed on the side of the first part 11 facing the swing mechanism 40, and a third vibration motor 70 is disposed inside the protrusion 111.The first part 11 is bent at an angle to the swing mechanism 40 so that the protrusion 111 comes into contact with the arm. The third vibration motor 70 is then turned on, so that the vibrating force is transmitted to the arm and a vibrating massage effect is obtained.It is easily understood that in actual use, the first vibration motor 50, the second vibration motor 60, and the third vibration motor 70 may be simultaneously turned on, or two or more of them may be simultaneously turned on as needed.In an embodiment, the massager 100 further includes a control board 80 and a battery 90; wherein the control board 80 and the battery 90 are disposed in the inner chamber of the first part 11, the control board 80 is electrically connected to the battery 90, and the control board 80 is electrically connected to the drive motor 31, the first vibration motor 50, the second vibration motor 60, and the third vibration motor 70. The battery 90 may supply power to the control board 80, which in turn supplies power to the drive motor 31, the first vibration motor 50, the second vibration motor 60, and the third vibration motor 70 via the control board 80. The control board 80 can control the start and stop, as well as the output, etc., of the driving motor 31, the first vibration motor 50, etc., to regulate the massage speed of the swing mechanism 40, etc., and to meet the different massage needs of different users.The above-described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application. Although their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present application. Note that a variety of modifications and improvements can be made to those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of the present application, and all fall within the scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of the present application is subject to the appended claims.
