Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of massage devices, and more particularly to a hand massager and its hand massage mechanism that are used exclusively to massage human hands. [Background technology]

[0002] As the quality of life improves, people's needs for physical health and healthcare are also increasing. Massage, an important healthcare method, is gaining increasing attention, and its application has a large market. There are many acupuncture points on the human palm, and frequent massage of the acupuncture points on the palm is beneficial to physical and mental health. Massage devices specifically designed for hand massage are already on the market, but their functions are simple and generally only perform a compression function. For example, they mechanically press specific parts of the human hand. Traditional hand massagers have a single massage method, resulting in a poor user experience and failing to meet user needs, which has affected sales. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The present invention provides a hand massager and its hand massage mechanism, and aims to solve the technical problem that the hand massage devices in the prior art only have mechanical massage techniques and only one massage method. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution used in the present invention is to provide a hand massage mechanism including a moving frame, an airbag finger cot that is used to fit a human finger and can be inflated by filling it with air and is installed on the moving frame, a driving device connected to the moving frame and for driving the movement of the moving frame, and an air filling component that includes an air pump and a plurality of first air valves, the air pump being connected to each of the first air valves via tubes, the plurality of first air valves communicating with each of the airbag finger cots via tubes respectively and being used to control the filling and deflating of each of the airbag finger cots. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] The advantageous effects of the hand massager provided by the present invention are as follows: Compared to the prior art, the hand massage mechanism of the present invention includes a movable frame and airbag finger cots for fitting each of a person's fingers. The airbag finger cots can completely envelop the person's fingers, and when inflated with air, they provide a feeling of pressure to the fingers, which is superior to the conventional structure that clamps and pressurizes the fingers from both sides. The drive device is used to drive the movable frame and move each airbag finger cot in sync, thereby creating a massage action similar to kneading and stretching the person's fingers in the direction of their extension, effectively providing the person's fingers with a stretched-out massage sensation. In the hand massage mechanism of the present application, the air filling component includes an air pump and a plurality of first air valves for controlling the filling and deflating of air for each airbag finger cot, and these first air valves are connected to each airbag finger cot via tubes, thereby realizing a stretching massage action for each finger, either alone or in any combination, which effectively enhances the realism of the massage and improves the user experience.

[0006] As an improvement to the structure on the moving frame, a plurality of fixing holes for attaching the airbag finger cots are provided on the moving frame, the plurality of fixing holes are arranged in a horizontal row on the moving frame, and the air nozzles on the airbag finger cots are exposed from the fixing holes on the moving frame and connected to the first air valve via tubes. Each airbag finger cot can be fixed in a horizontal row on the moving frame in accordance with the position of each fixing hole, which makes it convenient to automatically align the positions of each finger and each airbag finger cot when wearing it.

[0007] In one embodiment, the hand massage mechanism further includes position limiting frames installed on both sides of the moving frame, the position limiting frames having stroke grooves, and rollers mounted on both sides of the moving frame for movement within the stroke grooves. In this way, when the driving device moves the moving frame, the moving frame moves within the stroke grooves of the position limiting frames by the rollers, thereby limiting the direction and range of movement of the moving frame.

[0008] In one embodiment, the hand massage mechanism further includes a mounting base for mounting the drive unit, the drive unit being installed on the mounting base and the output end of the drive unit being connected to the moving frame, thereby driving the linear movement of the moving frame.

[0009] In one embodiment, a return mechanism is provided on the mounting base to automatically return the moving frame to its original position after being moved, an engagement tab is provided on the mounting base, and the return mechanism includes a connecting shaft and an elastic member, one end of the connecting shaft is provided with a position limiting cap, the other end of the connecting shaft passes through the engagement tab and is connected to the moving frame, the elastic member is fitted onto the connecting shaft, and both ends of the elastic member are connected to the engagement tab and the position limiting cap, respectively. In this way, after the driving device moves the moving frame, the moving frame automatically returns using the elastic recovery function of the elastic member, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the moving frame and advantageously performing repeated stretching massage actions on fingers.

[0010] As an improvement to the structure of the driving device, the driving device includes a push air bag and a second air valve, the push air bag is installed so that it can inflate in a first direction after being filled with air, the inflation end of the push air bag is connected to the moving frame, and the second air valve is connected to the push air bag and the air pump via a tube. In this way, the push air bag and the second air valve form a driving mechanism, which effectively ensures driving force for the moving frame and realizes a stretching massage action for the fingers. Compared to conventional motor-driven structures, this is more lightweight and occupies less space, making it easier to install in a body-worn device.

[0011] As another improvement to the structure of the drive unit, the drive unit includes a direct-acting air cylinder, the output end of which is connected to the moving frame. The direct-acting air cylinder can also be used to drive the linear movement of the moving frame, thereby achieving a similar stretching massage action for the fingers.

[0012] The present invention further provides a hand massager including a mechanical part, the mechanical part being equipped with the hand massage mechanism described above, the mechanical part including upper and lower shells that can be combined with each other, an attachment path for inserting a human hand between the upper and lower shells, the air-filled component being installed in the upper shell, the moving frame and the drive unit being installed adjacent to each other in the lower shell, and the airbag finger cot being installed in the attachment path for inserting a human finger. In this way, the dynamic component consisting of the moving frame and the drive unit and the air-filled component are installed separately, effectively avoiding mutual interference, which increases the utilization rate of the internal space of the mechanical part and is advantageous for reducing the volume of the entire machine.

[0013] In one embodiment, the upper shell is provided with a first airbag positioned within the mounting path, the lower shell is provided with a second airbag positioned within the mounting path, and the air filling component further includes a third air valve and a fourth air valve connected to the air pump via a tube, the third air valve communicating with the first airbag via a tube, and the fourth air valve communicating with the second airbag via a tube. The first airbag provides a compression massage for the back of a person's hand, and the second airbag provides a compression massage for the palm of a person's hand. The third air valve and the fourth air valve control the inflation and deflation of the first airbag and the second airbag, respectively, so that they can be activated separately according to usage needs.

[0014] In one embodiment, a thumb through-hole for inserting a human thumb is provided on each side of the mechanical part, and the thumb through-holes on both sides of the mechanical part are arranged symmetrically, which makes the hand massager suitable for both left and right hands, effectively improving its versatility.

[0015] The present invention provides a hand massager comprising an outer shell and an inner shell fixed inside the outer shell, with a storage space provided between the outer shell and the inner shell, the hand massager further comprising a movable frame reciprocatingly installed in the inner shell, an airbag finger cot used to fit a human finger and inflatable by filling it with air, a drive device connected to the movable frame for driving the movement of the movable frame, an air pump, and a first air valve, the air pump and the first air valve being installed in the storage space, the air pump being connected to the first air valve via a tube, and the first air valve being connected to the airbag and an air-filling component that communicates with the finger cots via a tube and is used to control the filling and de-filling of each airbag finger cot, wherein the inner shell is provided with a through-hole, the moving frame is installed near the through-hole, the airbag finger cots are housed in the inner shell, the airbag finger cots pass through the through-hole and are fixedly connected to the moving frame, and when the airbag finger cots are filled with air, the inner shell can limit the expansion of the airbag finger cots, thereby providing a compression massage for a person's fingers.

[0016] The inner shell limits the inflation of the airbag finger cot and the first airbag, and when the palm of the hand is compressed by the first airbag, the palm is fixed to the inner shell, the airbag finger cot expands to compress and massage the person's fingers, and the drive device drives the moving frame to move the airbag finger cot back and forth to stretch the fingers, effectively giving the person's fingers a massage feeling as if they are being stretched.

[0018] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantageous effects of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments depicted herein are only for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0019] When an element is said to be "fixed" or "installed" on another element, it may be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is said to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0020] The directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," and "outside" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, but this is merely for the convenience of explanation and simplification of depiction in this application, and it should be understood that this does not expressly or imply that the device or element has a particular orientation or must be configured or operated in a particular orientation, and therefore should not be taken as a limitation on the present invention.

[0021] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be construed as expressing or implying the relative importance or quantity of technical features. Thus, a feature qualified by "first" or "second" may expressly or implicitly include one or more of the feature. In describing the present invention, "plurality" means two or more than two, unless expressly and specifically limited otherwise.

[0022] Currently available massage devices specifically designed for hand massage have a single function, and generally can only perform pressure techniques such as mechanically pressing specific parts of the hand (acupuncture points). The massage methods are uniform and they are unable to perform massage techniques similar to how a masseuse stretches a person's fingers. This leaves the user with a weak sense of having received a massage, and the devices do not meet user needs, which is affecting sales.

[0023] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, a new type of hand massager and its hand massage mechanism is provided that can not only massage by pressing acupoints but also massage by stretching the human fingers, thereby effectively diversifying massage methods and improving the massage experience, and solving the technical problem that conventional hand massage devices only have mechanical massage methods and are limited to a single massage method. This will be explained in detail below.

[0024] As shown in Fig. 1, the hand massager includes a mechanical unit 100, which is equipped with the hand massage mechanism of this embodiment. As shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4, the hand massage mechanism includes at least a moving frame 1, an airbag finger cot 2, a driving device 3, and an air-filled component 4.

[0025] Airbag finger cots 2 are used to fit over each of a person's fingers, and the airbag finger cots 2 are attached to the moving frame 1. As shown in FIG. 3 , in this embodiment, four airbag finger cots 2 are provided, one for each of a person's index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger. In another embodiment (not shown), five airbag finger cots 2 may be provided, each corresponding to one of the five fingers. Compared to conventional structures that clamp and pressurize fingers from both sides, the airbag finger cot 2 of this embodiment preferably has a cylindrical structure, which is advantageous for completely enveloping a person's fingers. When filled with air and inflated, it provides a feeling of pressure on the fingers, effectively improving the sensation of receiving a massage.

[0026] The driving device 3 is connected to the moving frame 1 and drives the moving frame 1 to move each airbag finger cot 2 in a synchronized manner. In actual application, when the airbag finger cot 2 is filled with air and inflated, it gives a feeling of pressure to the fingers, and at the same time the moving frame 1 moves the airbag finger cot 2. This creates a motion similar to kneading and stretching a person's fingers in the direction of their extension, effectively giving the person's fingers a massage sensation that makes them feel as if they are being stretched.

[0027] 4, the mechanism for inflating the airbag finger cot 2 includes an air inflation component 4 that includes an air pump 41 and multiple first air valves 42, the number of which is the same as the number of airbag finger cots 2. The air pump 41 is connected to each of the first air valves 42 via a tube, and each of the multiple first air valves 42 communicates with each airbag finger cot 2 via a tube (not shown), and is used to control the inflation and deflation of each airbag finger cot 2. This allows for a stretching massage action to be performed on each finger, either individually or in any combination.

[0028] Comparing the hand massage mechanism of this embodiment with the prior art, the hand massage mechanism of this embodiment comprises a movable frame 1 and airbag finger cots 2 into which a person's fingers are respectively fitted. The airbag finger cots 2 completely encase the person's fingers, and when inflated with air, they provide a feeling of pressure on the fingers, which is superior to the conventional structure that clamps and pressurizes the fingers from both sides. The drive unit 3 drives the movable frame 1 and moves each airbag finger cot 2 in sync, thereby creating a massage action similar to kneading and stretching the person's fingers in the direction of their extension, effectively providing the person's fingers with a stretched massage sensation.

[0029] Compared with related art finger stretching massage devices, such massage devices generally stretch all fingers simultaneously, and are unable to stretch and massage each finger individually. In the hand massage mechanism of this embodiment, the air filling component 4 includes an air pump 41 and the same number of first air valves 42 as the number of airbag finger cots 2. These first air valves 42 are connected to the air pump 41 and each airbag finger cot 2 via a respective tube. Using each first air valve 42, air filling and deflating can be controlled independently for each airbag finger cot 2, thereby achieving a stretching massage for each finger individually or in any combination, effectively enhancing the realism of the massage and improving the user experience.

[0030] 3 and 6, the structure on moving frame 1 in this embodiment has a plurality of fixing holes 11 for attaching airbag finger cots 2, and the fixing holes 11 are arranged in a horizontal row on moving frame 1. The air nozzles on each airbag finger cot 2 are exposed from fixing holes 11 on moving frame 1 and are connected to each first air valve 42 via a tube.

[0031] This allows the airbag finger cots 2 to be fixed in a horizontal row on the moving frame 1 in accordance with the positions of the fixing holes 11, which makes it convenient to automatically align the positions of the fingers and the airbag finger cots 2 when wearing them, improving the wearing experience.

[0032] As shown in Figures 3 and 6, the fixing holes 11 on the moving frame 1 in this embodiment are elongated holes that allow the air nozzles on the airbag finger cots 2 to fit into the fixing holes 11. The air nozzles are provided with connectors 21 for attaching tubes, and the connectors 21 on each airbag finger cot 2 face the same direction within each fixing hole 11 to facilitate uniform orientation, making it convenient to attach and connect connecting tubes.

[0033] 6, it is preferable to further provide a directional guide base 111 that is inclined toward the air nozzle in each of the fixing holes 11 of the moving frame 1. By doing so, the end of the connecting tube can be slid along the directional guide base 111 toward the connector 21 and automatically aligned, improving installation efficiency.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 7, the hand massage mechanism of this embodiment further includes position limiting frames 12 installed on both sides of the moving frame 1, the position limiting frames 12 are provided with stroke grooves 121, and rollers 13 are respectively provided on both sides of the moving frame 1, and the rollers 13 are mounted in the stroke grooves 121 to move the moving frame 1.

[0035] When the driving device 3 moves the movable frame 1, the movable frame 1 moves within the stroke groove 121 of the position limiting frame 12 by the rollers 13. This limits the direction and range of positional movement of the movable frame 1, which is advantageous for adapting to the length of a person's fingers and maximizes the use of the internal space of the mechanical part 100 of the massager.

[0036] 7, in this embodiment, two rollers 13 are provided on each side of the movable frame 1, and the two rollers 13 are preferably installed on the same horizontal line near the front and rear ends of the movable frame 1. This allows the movable frame 1 to move rectilinearly in a stable manner.

[0037] Here, to prevent the rollers 13 from being exposed outside the position limiting frame 12, it is preferable that the stroke grooves 121 on the position limiting frame 12 be non-through grooves with a groove bottom, and that the depth of the stroke grooves 121 be sufficient to accommodate the rollers 13 on the sides of the moving frame 1. In this way, when the position limiting frames 12 are attached to both sides of the moving frame 1, the rollers 13 can be accommodated inside, ensuring a tight seal and preventing foreign matter such as dust from entering and affecting the movement of the rollers 13, effectively ensuring smooth movement of the rollers 13. It is preferable to provide fixing tabs 122 on the outside of the position limiting frame 12 to make it easier to fix it inside the mechanical part 100 of the hand massager.

[0038] As shown in Figures 6 and 8, the hand massage mechanism of this embodiment further includes a mounting base 5 for mounting the drive unit 3, which is installed on the mounting base 5 and has an output end connected to the moving frame 1, thereby driving the linear movement of the moving frame 1.

[0039] Based on the above, a return mechanism 50 that automatically returns the moving frame 1 to its original position after it has been moved is further provided on the mounting base 5. As shown in Figure 8, an engagement tab 51 is provided on the mounting base 5, and the return mechanism 50 includes a connecting shaft 52 and an elastic member 53. A position limiting cap 521 is provided on one end of the connecting shaft 52, and the other end of the connecting shaft 52 passes through the engagement tab 51 and is fixedly connected to the moving frame 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the aforementioned return mechanisms 50 are provided on both sides of the mounting base 5, and the engagement tabs 51 are preferably annular members integrally connected to the sides of the mounting base 5. This allows the connection shafts 52 to pass through them and be fixedly connected to the moving frame 1.

[0041] A spring is preferably used as the elastic member 53. The elastic member 53 is fitted onto the connecting shaft 52, and both ends of the elastic member 53 are connected to the engagement tab 51 and the position limiting cap 521, respectively.

[0042] In this way, the drive unit 3 drives the movable frame 1 on the mounting base 5 to push the movable frame 1 outward, and after the driving force of the drive unit 3 is lost, the movable frame 1 automatically returns to its original position by utilizing the elastic restoration function of the elastic member 53, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the movable frame 1, which is advantageous for repeatedly performing stretching massage actions on the fingers.

[0043] The structure of the drive unit 3 includes, but is not limited to, the following types:

[0044] 8, in this embodiment, the driving device 3 includes a push-type airbag 31 and a second air valve 32. The push-type airbag 31 is installed so that it can inflate in a first direction F after being filled with air, and the inflatable end of the push-type airbag 31 is connected to the moving frame 1. Here, the "first direction F" is interpreted as the direction in which the inflatable end of the push-type airbag 31 extends when it is inflated. This extension direction coincides with the extension direction of the fingers.

[0045] When inflated, such a push-type airbag 31 expands in a first direction F, which drives the moving frame 1 and moves each airbag finger cot 2 in conjunction with each other in the direction of finger extension, thereby realizing a stretching massage action for the fingers.

[0046] Preferably, the push-type airbag 31 is an accordion-like airbag that can be inflated and expanded in a predetermined direction, thereby effectively restricting the direction of movement of the moving frame 1.

[0047] The second air valve 32 is connected to the push air bag 31 and the air pump 41 via tubes, thereby controlling the push air bag 31 alone or in any combination (for example, one air bag finger cot 2, or a combination of any two or three air bag finger cots 2).

[0048] As can be seen from this, the drive unit 3 used in this embodiment has a simple structure, requires few assemblies, effectively ensures driving force for the moving frame 1, is lighter than conventional motor-driven structures, occupies less space, and is advantageous for installation in a body-worn device.

[0049] In another embodiment of the present invention (not shown), the driving device 3 includes a direct-acting air cylinder (not shown), and the output end of the direct-acting air cylinder is connected to the moving frame 1. The linear motion of the moving frame 1 can also be driven by the direct-acting air cylinder to achieve a similar stretching massage action on the fingers.

[0050] In another embodiment of the present invention (not shown), the drive device 3 may be a combination of a motor, a gear unit, and a connecting rod (not shown), and the motor may drive the gear unit to move the connecting rod, thereby moving the movable frame 1, thereby achieving the same technical effect.

[0051] 9 and 10, the overall structure of the hand massager of this embodiment includes a mechanical part 100 that includes an upper shell 6 and a lower shell 7, which can be combined with each other. An upper cover 60 and a lower cover 70, which are external decorative surfaces, are further provided on the upper shell 6 and the lower shell 7, respectively, and an attachment path 101 is provided between the upper shell 6 and the lower shell 7 for inserting a person's hand.

[0052] As shown in Figure 10, airbag finger cot 2 on moving frame 1 is placed near the opening at one end of the aforementioned attachment path 101. As shown in Figure 11, the opening at the other end of attachment path 101 is insertion port 102 for inserting a person's hand. Here, upper shell 6 is placed so that the end where insertion port 102 is located is curved upward, and lower shell 7 is placed so that the end where insertion port 102 is located is curved downward, so that insertion port 102 as a whole is open at the top and bottom. This makes it easy to insert a person's hand into attachment path 101, and then each finger can be smoothly inserted into the corresponding airbag finger cot 2.

[0053] In this way, the dynamic component consisting of the moving frame 1 and the drive unit 3, and the air-filled component 4 are installed separately on the lower shell 7 and the upper shell 6, effectively avoiding mutual interference, allowing the functional mechanisms within the hand massager to be arranged rationally, maximizing the use of the internal space of the massager, improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the massager's mechanical part 100, and being advantageous for reducing the volume of the entire machine.

[0054] Regarding the arrangement on the upper shell 6 in this embodiment, as shown in Figures 5 and 9, the air-filled component 4 is installed on the upper shell 6, and the upper shell 6 is provided with a locking base 61 for attaching the air pump 41, which can be locked and fixed to the locking base 61, making it easy to attach and detach.

[0055] In order to easily limit the mounting position of the air pump 41 and to fulfill the role of foolproof mounting, it is preferable to provide a groove 611 on the locking base 61 for fitting the output nozzle of the air pump 41 therein.

[0056] 5, mounting frames 62 for fixing each of the first air valves 42 are further provided on the upper shell 6. In this embodiment, two mounting frames 62 are provided and installed symmetrically on the upper surface of the upper shell 6. Two first air valves 42 are provided on each mounting frame 62, and the connection ends on the first air valves 42 are installed opposite each other so that it is easy to attach connection tubes to each connection end.

[0057] Here, serial tubes 621 are further included on the mounting frame 62, and the serial tubes 621 on each mounting frame 62 communicate with the connection ends of the two first air valves 42. A flow dividing member M is installed on the tube from the output nozzle of the air pump 41 to communicate with each serial tube 621, thereby realizing connection with each of the first air valves 42.

[0058] Preferably, in this embodiment, gaps (not shown) are provided between the upper cover 60 and the side of the upper shell 6, and between the lower cover 70 and the side of the lower shell 7, so that each connecting tube can extend from the upper shell 6 to the lower shell 7 through the gap and connect to the air nozzles on each airbag finger cot 2, respectively.

[0059] 9 and 10, in this embodiment, a main control board 63 and a control unit 64 are preferably provided on the upper cover 60, and the main control board 63 is installed on the inner upper wall of the upper cover 60. The control unit 64 is installed on the surface of the upper cover 60, so that the user can conveniently control and operate the massager from the top surface. The control unit 64 can preferably be a physical push key, touch key, touch panel, or the like, but is not specifically limited herein.

[0060] As can be seen from this, since the air filling component 4 is installed on the upper shell 6, each air pump 41 and first air valve 42 in the air filling component 4 are all installed near the main control board 63 installed on the inner upper wall of the upper cover 60, which makes electrical connection convenient.

[0061] 7 and 10, the lower shell 7 of this embodiment is arranged such that the moving frame 1 and the driving device 3 are installed adjacent to each other on the lower shell 7, and the airbag finger cots 2 are installed in the installation path 101 and are used to fit human fingers. As shown in FIG. 7, the lower shell 7 has a moving part opening 71 for installing the moving frame 1, and the airbag finger cot 2 passes through the moving part opening 71 and is installed on the moving frame 1 within the installation path 101 between the upper shell 6 and the lower shell 7.

[0062] The lower shell 7 is further provided with a surrounding edge 711 that is installed to surround the outer periphery of the opening 71 for the movable part, and fixing rods 72 are further provided on the outside of the surrounding edges 711 on both sides of the opening 71 for the movable part so that the position limiting frames 12 on both sides of the moving frame 1 can be attached and fixed. Specifically, the fixing tabs 122 on the position limiting frames 12 can be attached and fixed to the fixing rods 72 with fasteners such as screws.

[0063] 9, in this embodiment, a power supply 73 and a storage box 74 for storing the power supply 73 are provided inside the lower cover 70, the storage box 74 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the lower cover 70, and the storage box 74 has heat dissipation holes 741 that are arranged in a grid pattern to further improve the heat dissipation effect. In addition, by installing the power supply part at the bottom of the entire machine, it acts as a weight, which is advantageous for improving the stability of the entire machine when installed.

[0064] In order to provide a variety of massage functions for the hand massager, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, a first airbag 65 is provided on upper shell 6 within attachment path 101 and corresponds to the back of the person's hand, and a second airbag 75 is provided on lower shell 7 within attachment path 101 and corresponds to the palm of the person's hand, and when inflated, first airbag 65 and second airbag 75 can provide a pressure massage to the back and palm of the person's hand inserted into the massager, respectively.

Thereafter, the diverter tubes connected to each air nozzle are gathered by the diverter member M and further connected to the fourth air valve 44 via the main air tube.

[0069] Such first airbag 65 and second airbag 75 are provided with a plurality of air nozzles, which allows for synchronized air filling at multiple points, thereby effectively improving the filling and inflation speed of the first airbag 65 and second airbag 75.

[0070] 1, 5, and 11, in this embodiment, thumb holes 8 for inserting the thumbs of a person's hand are further provided on each side of mechanical part 100, and four airbag finger cots 2 are installed in attachment path 101 between upper shell 6 and lower shell 7. As a result, when a person inserts their hand into attachment path 101 of the massager, the thumb extends from thumb holes 8 on the side of mechanical part 100, and the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are respectively inserted into the four airbag finger cots 2 in attachment path 101, giving the hand massager a glove-like structure that is convenient for the user to wear and use.

[0071] 1 and 5, in this embodiment, the thumb through-holes 8 are preferably arranged symmetrically on both sides of the mechanical part 100. This allows the hand massager to be used on either the left or right hand, effectively improving its versatility.

[0072] This embodiment provides a novel hand massager that can not only realize acupressure massage techniques, but also stretch and massage human fingers, thereby effectively enriching massage modes and improving the massage feeling, thereby solving the technical problem that conventional hand massagers only have a single massage mode using mechanical pressing techniques, as will be explained in detail below.

[0073] 12, the hand massager includes an outer shell 900 and an inner shell 901 fixed inside the outer shell 900, with an accommodation space provided between the outer shell 900 and the inner shell 901. As shown in FIGS. 12 to 17, the hand massager includes at least a moving frame 1, an airbag finger cot 2, a driving device 3, and an air-filled component 4.

[0074] The moving frame 1 is mounted on the inner shell 901 so as to be reciprocally movable.

[0075] 16 and 17, the air filling component 4 that fills the airbag finger cot 2 includes an air pump 41 and a first air valve 42, which are installed in the accommodation space. The first air valve 42 is in communication with the airbag finger cot 2. The air pump 41 is connected to the first air valve 42 via a tube, and the first air valve 42 is in communication with the airbag finger cot 2 via a tube (not shown), and each is used to control the filling and purging of air into and from the airbag finger cot 2.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 13 , an inner shell 901 of this embodiment is provided with a through-hole 902, a moving frame 1 is installed near the through-hole 902, and an airbag finger cot 2 is housed within the inner shell 901. The airbag finger cot 2 passes through the through-hole 902 and is fixedly connected to the moving frame 1. As a result, when the moving frame 1 is driven and moved by the driving device 3, the moving frame 1 can synchronously move the airbag finger cot 2. The inner shell 901 of the hand massager further includes position limiting frames 12 installed on both sides of the moving frame 1. The position limiting frames 12 are provided with stroke grooves 121. On both sides of the moving frame 1, slide blocks 13′ are installed within the stroke grooves 121 for movement. The slide blocks 13′ are used to guide the stroke grooves 121 and the moving frame 1, allowing the moving frame 1 to move back and forth along the stroke grooves 121, thereby providing stability for the moving frame 1 during movement and preventing it from derailing. The through-hole 902 is provided so that the airbag finger cot 2 is placed inside the inner shell 901 and the air pump 41 and the first air valve 42 are placed outside the inner shell 901, so that the inflation, deflation, and movement of the airbag finger cot 2 do not affect the air pump 41 and the first air valve 42, thereby increasing safety.

[0077] When the driving device 3 moves the movable frame 1, the movable frame 1 moves within the stroke groove 121 of the position limiting frame 12 by the slide block 13'. This limits the direction and range of the movable frame 1's position movement, which is advantageous for adapting to the length of a person's fingers and maximizes the use of the internal space of the massager.

[0078] In this embodiment, a fabric cover (not shown) is provided between the airbag finger cot 2 and the inner shell 901. The fabric cover is made of a smooth material to reduce friction between the airbag finger cot 2 and the inner shell 901 during movement of the inflated airbag finger cot 2. This improves the smoothness of the airbag finger cot 2 when it slides inside the inner shell 901 and extends its service life.

[0079] Fig. 14 is a structural schematic diagram of the drive unit 3 of this embodiment when inflated, and Fig. 15 is a structural schematic diagram of the drive unit 3 of this embodiment when deflated. As shown in Figs. 13 to 15, the hand massager of this embodiment further includes a guide rod 54 and a spring 55. The movable frame 1 is provided with a perforation 56 corresponding to the guide rod 54. The spring 55 is abutted between the guide rod 54 and the movable frame 1. The drive unit 3 is a pushing airbag. When air is released from the drive unit 3, the spring 55 rebounds and pushes the airbag finger cot 2, causing it to move.

[0080] 18, this embodiment further includes a first airbag 65, which is installed corresponding to the palm or the back of the hand and is attached to an inner shell 901. When activated, the first airbag 65 inflates toward the side wall of the inner shell 901 to compress the palm or the back of the hand, and the airbag finger cot 2 stretches the fingers in a direction substantially parallel to the side wall of the inner shell 901. This creates a massage action similar to kneading and stretching a person's fingers in the direction of their extension, effectively providing a massage sensation that makes the person's fingers feel as if they are being stretched.

[0081] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are all included in the protection scope of the present invention.
