Elements and features described in one of 5 the drawings or embodiments of the present utility model may be combined with elements and features shown in one or more other drawings or embodiments. It should be noted that, for clarity, components or processes not related to the present utility model and known to those skilled in the art are omitted from representation and description in the drawings and description. 10 The present utility model's massager will be further described in conjunction with the drawings. As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the massager in this embodiment includes a housing (1), a gripping part (4) connected to the housing for gripping, a driving component set inside the housing (1), and a massage sleeve (3) set outside the 15 housing (1). The massage sleeve (3) moves relative to the housing (1) under the drive of the driving component. In this embodiment, the housing (1) is composed of an upper housing (101) and a lower housing (102) forming an enclosure with an internal accommodation space. Inside, it houses components such as the driving component, transmission 20 component, power source (15), and control circuit board (12). The connection between the upper housing (101) and the lower housing (102) can be via snap-fit or other means of secure attachment. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the housing (1) is a flat-shaped housing with a certain internal accommodation space, having an overall concave outer surface 25 resembling a U-shape, allowing the massage sleeve (3) to be positioned in the recessed area of the outer surface of the housing (1). Of course, the overall external contour of the housing (1) is not restricted as long as it does not affect the movement of the massage sleeve (3) set outside the housing (1). The housing (1) can also be flat overall, with the massage sleeve (3) positioned above it. 30 The upper housing (101) is composed of an upper housing part one (1011) and an upper housing part two (1012). The missing central portion of the upper housing part one (1011) is filled by the upper housing part two (1012). The combined upper housing (101) features two housing gaps (1013) along the direction of movement of the massage sleeve (3) relative to the housing (1). The fixation method of the upper 35 housing part one (1011) and the upper housing part two (1012) can vary. For example, the upper housing part two (1012) may be slightly narrower than the missing central portion of the upper housing part one (1011) and slightly longer along the direction of the housing gap (1013) compared to the missing central portion of the upper housing part one (1011). The upper housing part two (1012) is attached to the upper housing part one (1011) from the inside of the housing, with the projections on the upper housing part one (1011) engaging with the grooves on the upper housing part two (1012) to achieve a tight fit perpendicular to the direction of the housing gap (1013). The entire upper housing (1011) surface has only two housing gaps (1013), which facilitate the movement of the massage sleeve (3) relative to the housing (1) under the drive of the driving component. To facilitate user gripping, the gripping part (4) is preferably symmetrically positioned on both sides of the housing (1), serving as a handle or grip for the massager. The gripping part (4) can be either fixedly attached to the housing (1) or movably connected to it. Moreover, the angle between the gripping part (4) and the housing (1) can be adjusted based on the principle of comfortable gripping. The gripping part may be arranged horizontally (as shown in Figure 1), forming a 90-degree angle with the side wall of the housing; or it can be adjusted between 0 and 180 degrees as needed. Moreover, the gripping part (4) can be connected to the housing (1) in various movable ways, allowing for multiple degrees of freedom similar to a human arm, such as up and down, and forward and backward rotation or turning. The gripping part (4) can rotate around the housing (1) in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the housing (1), and can be flipped or folded onto the lower housing (102). The corresponding area on the lower housing (102) is concave to accommodate the gripping part (4), which can reduce the product's volume and provide the option to use or not use the gripping part (4) as needed. Additionally, the gripping part (4) can also rotate 360 degrees along the axial direction of the housing (1). It can also be designed to slide up and down along the outer surface of the housing (1). When needed, the gripping part (4) can be designed to be detachable from the housing (1), allowing for easy assembly and disassembly. The shape of the gripping part (4) can be designed according to ergonomic principles for comfortable gripping, such as a straight type, L-type, C-type, D-type, or any irregular shape. In this embodiment, an L-type handle design is used. As shown in Figures 2-7, the driving component includes a motor (2) and a synchronous belt drive mechanism. The motor (2) drives the synchronous belt drive mechanism to move the massage sleeve (3), with the movement being a reciprocating motion relative to the housing (1). The synchronous belt drive mechanism includes a synchronous belt (5) and two synchronous belt gears (6, 7). The two synchronous belt gears are mounted within the synchronous belt (5) and engage with each other. The first synchronous belt gear (6) is connected to the motor shaft (201) of the motor (2). The second synchronous belt gear (7) maintains the same rotational speed and has its gear shaft fixed to the inner wall of the housing (1). The synchronous belt (5) secures the transmission component (9) to the teeth of the synchronous belt (5) through a pressure plate (10). As shown in Figures 3 and 4, in this embodiment, the transmission component (9) is generally U-shaped, with the bottom in contact with the upper surface of the synchronous belt (5) and featuring two rows of stop pieces (901) spaced at a distance equal to the width of the synchronous belt (5). The pressure plate (10) is positioned perpendicularly to the direction of the stop pieces on the lower surface of the synchronous belt (5). This arrangement allows the pressure plate (10) and the transmission component (9) to clamp the synchronous belt (5) from above and below, ensuring that there is no relative movement between them. Driven by the motor (2), the transmission component (9) moves synchronously with the synchronous belt (5) and drives the massage sleeve (3) in reciprocating motion. To ensure the stability of the reciprocating motion of the massage sleeve (3), the housing of the massager is also equipped with two guide rods (8). The guide rods (8) are slidably mounted relative to the transmission component (9) and are kept parallel to the synchronous belt (5). The two ends of the guide rods (8) are fixed to the inner wall of the upper shell part two (1012) using guide rod fixing components (16). The length of the synchronous belt (5) determines the maximum stroke of the massage sleeve. As shown in Figures 2 and 7, the massage sleeve (3) has through openings at both ends, comprising a massage cylinder body (301) and an inner elastic sleeve (302). The elastic sleeve (302) has openings at both ends (3023) and features a wavy inner surface (3022) as well as several granular protrusions (3021), which enhance comfort and improve the massage effect. The elastic sleeve (302) can be made from elastic materials such as modified plastics, rubber, or silicone, such as silicone or EVA. Silicone is preferred due to its excellent flexibility and elasticity, good skin compatibility, high mechanical strength, and resistance to wear, making it suitable for contact with body parts. As shown in Figures 2, 5, and 6, the massage sleeve (3) is externally equipped with a cylindrical clamp ring (11). The cylindrical clamp ring (11) is fixedly connected to the U-shaped top of the transmission component (9). The cylindrical clamp ring (11) has ear-like protrusions on both sides, which are fixed to the U-shaped top of the transmission component (9) with bolts. For aesthetic reasons, the two can be fixedly connected inside the housing by passing through the housing gap (1013), and the cylindrical clamp ring (11) and the massage sleeve (3) reciprocate along the housing gap (1013). In order to facilitate cleaning or replacement of the massage sleeve (3), the massage sleeve (3) is detachably connected to the cylindrical clamp ring (11), for example, by snap-fit or latch connection. In this embodiment, the motor (2) can be a brushless motor that changes speed and direction to achieve the reciprocating motion of the massage sleeve (3). The motor (2) can be powered by an internal or external power source, which can be a rechargeable battery or a disposable battery. In this embodiment, the power source (15) is located inside the housing (1).
