[Effects of the Invention]
[0045] Compared to conventional technology, the data line and massage control method provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects.
[0046] 1. This invention not only realizes the basic functions of a data line, such as data transfer and device charging, but also allows users to enjoy the massage effect of the data line and alleviate physical fatigue. Furthermore, the user can independently control the startup, shutdown, and adjustment modes of the massage module through the master module, making it easy and convenient to operate, and improving the personalization and flexibility of the massage. The sequentially connected first input / output module, first transfer line, massage module, second transfer line, and second input / output module simplify the overall appearance of the data line, making storage and organization easy. At the same time, the user can utilize the wire structure of the data line to wrap around and fix it to parts of the body, allowing the massage module to be more closely attached to the massage area of the human body, providing a data line that can provide a better massage experience.
[0047] 2. The present invention provides a data line that, when the first input / output module and the second input / output module of the data line transfer electrical signals and data signals, simultaneously transfers electrical signals or data signals to the master module and massage module, supplying power or transferring commands via data signals, thereby enabling the data line to perform functions such as data transfer and charging equipment, while the master module and massage module operate normally and provide massage to the user.
[0048] 3. The present invention provides a data cable in which the massage module has an overall flattened shape, such a shape makes the entire data cable lighter and more aesthetically pleasing, and such a shape improves the flexibility of the housing, allowing the data cable to adhere closely to the skin of the human body for massage.
[0049] 4. The present invention provides a main charging circuit for bidirectional power and data transfer, and a massage bypass circuit for supporting and controlling the operation of a massage function member, the massage function member being positioned along the extending direction of the flexible circuit structure, avoiding damage to the linear structure of the entire data line without adding extra bypasses. The first transfer line is generally circular, and its cross-sectional thickness is usually large, while the flexible circuit structure is usually thin and soft, making it susceptible to bending and deformation. The connection between the first circuit board and the second circuit board provides mechanical support to the flexible circuit structure, preventing deformation due to external forces and ensuring connection stability.
[0050] 5. The present invention provides a massage bypass circuit that further includes a step-down section, where a first voltage drawn in from a first input / output module or a second voltage drawn in from a second input / output module is converted to a third voltage via the step-down section, and the third voltage is drawn to the massage function member. The first and second voltages can be input from a power source such as a mobile phone or portable charger or from an external device, but the first voltage is unstable and has a wide range and does not support the operation of the massage function member. By having the voltage conversion section output an appropriate and stable third voltage, stable operation of the function control unit and the massage module is ensured, and data lines are provided that do not cause each element to be damaged by excessive input voltage or have reduced operating efficiency due to voltage being too low.
[0051] 6.

This design provides a data line that can adjust the fourth voltage output by the boost unit as needed, providing flexible power support to the massage function member.
[0052] 7. By integrating the step-down and step-up sections simultaneously on a first or second circuit board, the present invention effectively reduces the number of elements and connecting wires, enabling space savings and a more compact overall layout. At the same time, it provides a data line that reduces the length of the lines, optimizes the circuit layout, reduces losses, and improves the overall stability and reliability of the data line.
[0053] 8. The present invention provides a data line that further improves the compactness of the circuit layout and simplifies the overall appearance of the data line by providing the control circuit on the first or second circuit board. Alternatively, by integrating the master module on a third circuit board separate from the first and second circuit boards, mutual interference between the master circuit and other circuits can be reduced, and the maintainability of the product can be improved, the difficulty of maintenance can be reduced, and the lifespan of the equipment can be extended.

[0057] 12. The massage function component is a vibration motor, the vibration motor includes a positive terminal pin and a ground pin, the transfer pin includes a positive terminal pin and a ground pin, and the positive terminal pin and ground pin of the motor are electrically connected to the positive terminal pin and ground pin of the transfer, respectively.

[0086] To make it easier to understand, the first input / output module 11 and the second input / output module 14 are connected to external electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptop computers, and not only do they perform data transfer and electrical transfer functions, but they can also supply power and transfer data to the master module 12 and the massage module 13 via the external devices.
[0087] To ensure clarity, the first input / output module 11 and the second input / output module 14 may be provided simultaneously, or only one may be provided. If only one is provided, data line 1 is a single-ended input, and the first input / output module 11 or the second input / output module 14 is used only for power supply and data transfer to the master module 12 and the massage module 13.
[0088] Alternatively, the first input / output module 11 and the second input / output module 14 may be the same or different. Specifically, the first input / output module 11 and the second input / output module 14 may be USB Type-A connectors, USB Type-B connectors, USB Type-C connectors, Lightning connectors, etc.
[0089] The master module 12 outputs control signals to control the start / stop and / or adjustment modes of the massage module 13.
[0090] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 and 2, the master module 12 may be installed independently, or it may be arranged linearly with the first input / output module 11, the massage module 13, and the second input / output module 14. In this case, the master module 12 plays a role in transmission, ensuring the normal transmission of electrical and data signals on data line 1, and also acts as a control center, controlling the startup, shutdown, and different adjustment modes of the massage module 13. Users can change the adjustment mode to their liking, improving the personalization and flexibility of the massage. The master module 12 may also be integrated with the massage module 13. In this case, the master module 12 functions only as a control center and does not need to play a transmission role. For the sake of explanation, this embodiment will describe the case where the master module 12 is installed independently. However, the technical proposal in which the master module 12 is integrated within the massage module 13 is also covered by this embodiment.
[0091] The massage module 13 receives and transmits electrical signals and data signals, and also receives control signals. The massage module 13 includes a foldable housing 133, a flexible circuit structure 132 provided inside the housing, and a massage function member 131 laid out along the extending direction of the flexible circuit structure 132, which performs massage operations based on the control signals.
[0092] To make it clear, the massage module 13 plays a transmission role on the one hand, ensuring the normal transmission of electrical and data signals on data line 1. On the other hand, the massage function member 131 provides the user with a massage action based on the control signal, satisfying the user's massage needs, and ensuring that data line 1 satisfies the user's massage needs while transmitting electrical and data signals.
[0093] To make it easier to understand, connecting the first input / output module 11, the master module 12, the massage module 13, and the second input / output module 14 in order simplifies the overall appearance of data line 1, making it easier to store and organize.
[0094] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, data line 1 further includes a data line body 15 which includes a first transfer line 210, a second transfer line 211, and other transfer lines connecting each block. The first input / output module 11, master module 12, massage module 13, and second input / output module 14 are sequentially serially connected via the data line body 15 to form a continuous bidirectional communication link.
[0095] In a specific embodiment, the first input / output module 11 and the massage module 13 are electrically connected via a first transfer line 210, and the second input / output module 14 and the massage module 13 are electrically connected via a second transfer line 211. The master module 12 and the massage module 13 are electrically connected, and this connection can be serially connected via the first transfer line 210 or integrated with the massage module 13.
[0096] To make it easier to understand, this design allows for easy storage and organization without adding extra bypasses that disrupt the overall linear structure of data wire 1, and users can utilize the linear structure of data wire 1 to wrap around and secure it to body parts. By wrapping and securing it around curved areas such as the wrists and neck, the massage module 13 is more firmly fixed, fits the human body better, and is easier for the user to operate, increasing the range of uses for data wire 1 massage and resulting in a better massage experience and massage effect.
[0097] To make it easier to understand, the data cable body 15 can be made of a lightweight, flexible, and high-performance material, making it easy to store and carry, and also easy for the user to wrap around and secure the massage module 13 using the data cable body 15. For example, the data cable body 15 may be a data cable woven from nylon cloth or a silica gel data cable.
[0098] Alternatively, the diameter range of the data line body 15 is 2mm to 10mm, the width range of the massage module 13 is 15mm to 60mm, the length range of the massage module 13 is 40mm to 300mm, and the ratio range of the width of the massage module 13 to the diameter of the data line body 15 is 2 to 15.
[0099] Preferably, the diameter of the data line body 15 is 5 mm, the width of the massage module 13 is 30 mm, and the length of the massage module is 220 mm.
[0100] Furthermore, the first input / output module 11, master module 12, massage module 13, second input / output module 14, and data line body 15 of data line 1 all support the same fast charging protocol, such as the USB-PD (USB Power Delivery) protocol. This allows data line 1 to increase charging power and shorten charging time when charging external devices. It can also accommodate the different voltage and current requirements of the master module 12 and the massage module 13.
[0101] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4, the massage module 13 includes a flexible circuit structure 132. The flexible circuit structure 132, i.e., the circuit structure of the massage module 13, is flexible, giving the entire massage module 13 flexibility. In accordance with the characteristics of the entire data line 1 being entangled, the massage module 13 fits well to the curves of the human body, adheres closely to the massage area, and provides a better massage experience.
[0102] Furthermore, at least two massage function members 131 are provided.
[0103] To make it easier to understand, the massage module 13 can enhance its massage effect by providing multiple massage function members 131. Multiple massage modules 13 can also cooperate with each other to form multiple different massage modes, increasing the types of adjustment modes that the master module 12 can control and providing the user with multiple different massage experiences.
[0104] Furthermore, the massage function member 131 is located on the central axis of the massage module 13.
[0105] To make it easier to understand, the massage function component 131 acts as a weight and is positioned on the central axis of the massage module 13. This positions the center of gravity of the entire massage module 13 on the central axis, making it less likely to flip over due to a shift in the center of gravity when the massage module 13 is pressed against the human body for massage. This reduces twisting and entanglement of the data line 1 during use, improving the user experience.
[0106] Furthermore, the lead wires and elements of the flexible circuit structure 132 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central axis of the massage module 13, functioning as weights so that the overall center of gravity of the massage module 13 lies on the central axis. At the same time, the symmetrical arrangement enhances the performance and stability of the circuit, allows for quick recognition of each element and connection relationship, and improves the readability and maintainability of the flexible circuit structure 132.
[0107] Furthermore, the massage function members 131 are provided sequentially at intervals along the longitudinal direction of the massage module 13.
[0108] To make it easier to understand, the massage function members 131 are laid out along the longitudinal direction of the massage module 13, that is, the layout direction of the massage function members 131 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the entire data line 1, thereby forming a wider massage area and realizing a multidimensional massage effect in the massage area. For example, when a user wraps the massage module 13 around their neck or shoulders, multiple massage function members 131 can simultaneously massage multiple areas or pressure points, realizing a multidimensional, multi-stage massage effect.
[0109] Furthermore, there are gaps between the spaced-apart massage function members 131, and by changing the size of these gaps, the size of the curved arc of the massage module 13 can be adjusted, making the overall design of the data line 1 more flexible.
[0110] Furthermore, the massage module 13 further includes a foldable housing 133.
[0111] To ensure better contact between the massage module 13 and the human body, the massage module 13 can protect the flexible circuit structure 132 and the massage function member 131 using a foldable housing 133. The foldable housing 133 can reduce the impact of impacts such as collisions and abrasion on the electrical circuits and elements inside the massage module 13, and can also increase the toughness of the massage module 13 when bent, thereby extending its lifespan.
[0112] Alternatively, the housing 133 may be manufactured using materials such as rubber, plastic, or silica gel to achieve its foldable properties.
[0113] Furthermore, the overall structure of the massage module 13 has a flattened shape. The flexible circuit structure 132 is typically thin and flexible. The massage function members 131 are spaced apart along the extending direction of the flexible circuit structure 132, allowing the overall thickness of the massage module 13 to be thin and to form a sheath-like, flattened shape. A massage module 13 with such a shape is lightweight, aesthetically pleasing, and can fit well to the skin of the human body for effective massage.
[0114] Furthermore, data line 1 includes a bidirectional signal identification circuit that identifies the transfer direction of electrical signals and data signals.
[0115] To make it clear, the bidirectional signal identification circuit is used to detect the connection of external devices and to determine the direction of transfer of electrical and data signals, which may be bidirectional transfer of electrical and data signals, i.e., electrical and data signals may be transferred from the first input / output module 11 to the second input / output module 14 or from the second input / output module 14 to the first input / output module 11. The master module 12 and massage module 13 may be powered by an external device connected to the first input / output module 11 or by an external device connected to the second input / output module 14.
[0116] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bidirectional signal identification circuit is implemented as an On-The-Go circuit, and the On-The-Go circuit is a circuit system that implements the On-The-Go function. The first input / output module 11 and the second input / output module 14, which have the On-The-Go function, can identify whether an external device is a master or a slave. If the external device is detected as a master, the device outputs power to the slave, and if the external device is detected as a slave, it can receive power from the master. The On-The-Go function can also switch the role of the external device, such as from master to slave or from slave to master, as needed. As a result, if an external device such as a mobile phone or laptop is connected to either end of the first input / output module 11 or the first input / output module 14, the data line 1 can use that external device to supply power to the master module 12 and the massage module 13. This greatly expands the usage scenarios for the massage function of the data line 1, allowing users to enjoy a massage anytime, anywhere, and improving the user experience.
[0117] Referring further to Figure 5, the master module 12 is electrically connected to the massage module 13 and includes a function control unit 122 that receives user instructions and outputs corresponding control signals to the massage module 13 in accordance with the user instructions.
[0118] To make it easier to understand, the installation of the function control unit 122 allows the user to control the massage module 13 via the master module 12, and the user can adjust parameters such as the massage mode, force, and speed of the massage module 13 according to their needs and preferences, thereby achieving a personalized massage experience.
[0119] To make it easier to understand, the function control unit 122 further monitors the operating status of the massage module 13 and, if it detects an abnormality such as overheating or overload, it can immediately shut off the power or adjust the operating mode to ensure the safety of the user and the equipment.
[0120] Referring further to Figure 6, the function control unit 122 includes a signal input unit 123, and user instructions are received via the signal input unit 123.
[0121] To facilitate understanding, the signal input unit 123 is provided to enhance the ability and flexibility of interaction between the user and the massage equipment. In this embodiment, the specific form of the signal input unit 123 is not limited. For example, the signal input unit 123 may be a control button, touch panel, voice control, wireless remote control, etc.
[0122] Preferably, the signal input section 123 is a control button, and there may be one or more control buttons. The control button is intuitive and easy to use, highly adaptable, reduces errors, has a simple structure, does not require complex circuit design, and effectively reduces the volume and weight of the massage control system for data line 1. Furthermore, since the massage function member 131 is provided in parallel with the flexible circuit structure 132, one-touch control of the control button is possible by the control circuit, simplifying the operation flow and allowing the user to use the massage function of data line 1 more easily.
[0123] Furthermore, user instructions may be input via external devices connected to the first input / output module 11 or the second input / output module 14.
[0124] To make it easier to understand, the external device may have an application program to receive user instructions. These instructions, after being input via the application program, are transmitted to the master module 12 by the first input / output module 11 or the second input / output module 14, controlling the start / stop and adjustment modes of the massage module 13. This design provides a more intuitive and convenient operating interface for the external device, which the user can customize to their liking.
[0125] To make it easier to understand, a signal receiver connected to the massage module 13 may be further provided on data line 1 to receive user instructions from external devices. In other words, control of the massage module 13 may be achieved even when external devices are not connected to the first input / output module 11 or the second input / output module 14.
[0126] Furthermore, the massage action is one or more of the following: vibration signals, electrical pulse signals, and thermal signals.
[0127] To make it easier to understand, the massage action is performed by the massage function member 131, and the type of massage action can be changed by changing the type of massage function member 131, allowing multiple massage actions to provide a richer massage experience. If the massage function member 131 is a vibrator, the massage action is a vibration signal output by the vibrator, and the vibration signal promotes muscle relaxation through mechanical action, alleviates muscle tension, and effectively relieves muscle fatigue and stiffness. If the massage function member 131 is a pulser, the massage action is an electrical pulse signal output by the pulser, and the electrical pulse signal stimulates nerves and muscles, relieving muscle fatigue and promoting blood circulation, among other effects. If the massage function member 131 is a heater, the massage action is a heat signal output by the heater, and the heat signal transmits heat to the skin and tissues, producing a warming effect. The massage action may also be other types of massage actions output by the massage function member 131, such as cold compresses.
[0128] Furthermore, the adjustment modes include one or more of the following: adjustment of massage intensity, adjustment of massage mode, and adjustment of timing.
[0129] To make it easier to understand, different adjustment modes can meet different user needs, and by adjusting the massage intensity, users can select the massage intensity based on their personal preferences and ability to bear the load. When the massage operation of the massage function member 131 is a vibration signal, the adjustment of the massage mode can simulate different massage techniques and effects, such as varying the vibration effect from weak to strong, or from weak to strong, or from fast to slow vibration rhythms. Timing adjustment makes it easier for users to control the massage time and prevents over-massaging. The type of adjustment mode can be adjusted by the design of the functional control circuit of the master module 12, and each adjustment mode can be further divided into different ranges.
[0130] Specifically, in this embodiment, the signal input unit 123 of the function control unit 122 is provided as a control button, allowing the user to start and stop the massage module 13 and adjust the massage intensity in three stages by operating the control button. Clicking the control button activates the massage function of the massage module 13 and adjusts the massage intensity of the massage function member 131 to stage 1. Clicking the control button again adjusts the massage intensity of the massage function member 131 to stage 2. Clicking the control button again adjusts the massage intensity of the massage function member 131 to stage 3. Clicking it one more time turns off the massage function of the massage module 13. The massage function of the massage module 13 can also be turned off by pressing and holding the control button.
[0131] Furthermore, data line 1 may be further provided with a power storage module to supply power to the master module 12 and the massage module 13 when no external device is connected to supply power to the first input / output module 11 or the second input / output module 14.
[0132] Alternatively, the energy storage module may be a rechargeable energy storage module or a disposable battery.
[0133] To make it clear, if the energy storage module is a rechargeable energy storage module, and an external device that supplies power to the first input / output module 11 or the second input / output module 14 is connected, the energy storage module can simultaneously charge and store energy, allowing for multiple recharges and uses, resulting in high economic and environmental protection. The energy storage module is a disposable battery, with a simpler structure, no worries about charging or battery life, and reduced maintenance costs and time. If the user does not have a need for energy storage, they can remove the disposable battery to reduce the weight of the data cable 1.
[0134] Continuing to refer to Figure 5, the display device 121 is also electrically connected to the master module 12.
[0135] To make it easier to understand, the display device 121 allows the user to easily see the operating status of the massage function member 131. Alternatively, the display device 121 is an indicator light or display screen connected to the master module 12.
[0136] In this embodiment, the location where the display device 121 is installed is not particularly limited. The display device 121 may be installed on the first circuit board 23 or the second circuit board 24, or it may be installed individually, such as in the master module 12.
[0137] Referring to Figures 7 to 9, a second embodiment of the present invention includes a main charging circuit 21 for charging and a massage bypass circuit 22 electrically connected to the main charging circuit 21, wherein the main charging circuit 21 includes a first transfer line 210 electrically connected sequentially, a flexible circuit structure 132, and a second transfer line 211, and provides a data line 2 that is laid out along the extending direction of the flexible circuit structure 132, which is different from the data line 1 described above.
[0138] To make it clear, the main charging circuit 21 is for bidirectional power and data transfer, and the massage bypass circuit 22 is for supporting and controlling the operation of the massage function member 131. Since the first transfer line 210, the flexible circuit structure 132, and the second transfer line 211 are electrically connected in order, the entire data line 2 is linear, and the massage function member 131 is positioned along the extending direction of the flexible circuit structure 132. This design does not disrupt the original linear structure of the data line 2, and allows the user to receive a better massage effect by wrapping the massage function member 131 around different parts of their body using the data line 2.
[0139] To make it clear, the massage function member 131 is provided along the extending direction of the flexible circuit structure 132, and the massage function member 131 and the flexible circuit structure 132 may be physically connected, or part or all of the surge bypass circuit 22 may be located in the flexible circuit structure 132, and the massage function member 131 and the flexible circuit structure 132 may be electrically connected.
[0140] To make it easier to understand, the data line body 15, consisting of the first transfer line 210 and the second transfer line 211, should be made of a lightweight, flexible, and high-performance material, making it easy to store and carry, and allowing the user to wrap the data line 2 around the massage function member 131 to fit the massage area more easily. For example, the first transfer line 210 and the second transfer line 211 may be data lines woven from nylon cloth or data lines made of silica gel.
[0141] Furthermore, the data line 2 further includes a first circuit board 23 and a second circuit board 24, with the first transfer line 210 and the flexible circuit structure 132 being electrically connected via the first circuit board 23, and the second transfer line 211 and the flexible circuit structure 132 being electrically connected via the second circuit board 24.
[0142] As can be understood, the cross-sectional thickness of the first transfer line 210 and the second transfer line 211 is generally large, while the flexible circuit structure 132 is generally thin and flexible, making it susceptible to bending and deformation. By connecting the first circuit board 23 and the second circuit board 24, mechanical support can be provided to the flexible circuit structure 132, preventing deformation due to external forces and ensuring the stability of the connection.
[0143] Referring further to Figure 10, the massage bypass circuit 22 includes a step-down unit 220. The massage bypass circuit 22 converts the first voltage drawn from the first input / output module 11 or the second voltage drawn from the second input / output module 14 into a third voltage via the step-down unit 220. The first voltage is then converted into a unified second voltage via the step-down unit 220, the second voltage is converted into a third voltage via the step-up unit 221, and the third voltage is drawn into the massage function member 131.
[0144] To make it clear, the first voltage drawn in by the massage bypass circuit 22 from the first input / output module 11 or the second voltage drawn in from the second input / output module 14 actually comes from external devices such as mobile phones and portable chargers, and since the user connects to different external devices when using the data line 2, the first voltage is unstable and wide-ranging. The first and second voltages are converted to a unified third voltage via the step-down unit 220, and the third voltage performs a standardization process of the input first voltage, preventing damage to internal electronic components due to the input voltage being too high or unstable.
[0145] Furthermore, the massage bypass circuit 22 further includes a boost unit 221 electrically connected to the step-down unit 220, the third voltage is converted to a fourth voltage via the boost unit 221, and the fourth voltage is drawn to the massage function member 131.
[0146] To make it easier to understand, the standardized third voltage allows the boost unit 221 to perform the boosting process more easily, converting the third voltage to the fourth voltage required by the massage function member 131. The boost unit 221 can adjust the magnitude of the output fourth voltage as needed. This design allows the massage function member 131 to receive either the stepped-down third voltage or the boosted fourth voltage, depending on the type of massage function member 131, providing flexible power support for each type of massage function member 131.
[0147] To ensure clarity, the specific circuit design of the step-down unit 220 and the boost unit 221 is not limited in this embodiment. The step-down unit 220 can reduce the input first and second voltages to a unified third voltage, and the boost unit 221 only needs to be able to boost the third voltage to the fourth voltage required by the massage function member 131. The third voltage can be selected from different voltage values depending on the specific requirements, for example, 5V, 3.3V, etc. The fourth voltage can be provided in a range of multiple different voltage values, such as 24V, 36V, 48V, etc., depending on the different massage intensities of the massage function member 131.
[0148] Furthermore, the step-down unit 220 and the step-up unit 221 are integrated on either the first circuit board 23 or the second circuit board 24.
[0149] As you can see, this design effectively reduces the number of assemblies and connecting wires, saving space and making the overall structural layout more compact. At the same time, it can reduce the length of the wiring, optimize the circuit layout, reduce losses, and improve the overall stability and reliability of the data lines.
[0150] Furthermore, referring to Figures 9 and 11, the master module 12 may be integrated into the first circuit board 23 or the second circuit board 24, or it may be provided separately from the first circuit board 23 and the second circuit board 24.
[0151] To make it easier to understand, placing the master module 12 on the first circuit board 23 or the second circuit board 24 simplifies the overall circuit layout, further improves the compactness of the circuit layout, and simplifies the overall appearance of the data lines 2.
[0152] To make it easier to understand, the master module 12 may be provided separately, such as being integrated on a third circuit board (shown) separate from the first circuit board 23 and the second circuit board 24. This design reduces mutual interference between the circuits of the master module 12 and the other circuits, thereby improving product maintainability, lowering the difficulty of maintenance, and extending the lifespan of the equipment.
[0153] In the embodiments of the present invention, for the sake of explanation, an example in which the step-down unit 220, the boost unit 221, and the master module 12 are all integrated on the first circuit board 23 will be described in detail. It should be noted that an embodiment in which the step-down unit 220, the boost unit 221, and functional circuits such as the master module 12 are integrated on the second circuit board 24, based on the technical concept of the present invention, is essentially the same in terms of its technical principle, implementation logic, and achieved technical effects as when they are integrated on the first circuit board 23, and both are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0154] In one specific embodiment, the master module 12 is provided on the first circuit board 23. The master module 12 is equipped with control buttons, which allow the user to start or stop the operation of the massage function member 131, adjust the shift position of the massage function member 131, and change the display state of the display device 121. The control buttons and the display device 121 are located on opposite sides of the first circuit board 23.
[0155] Referring to Figure 12, the main charging circuit 21 further includes at least a power supply positive transfer line VBUS, a ground transfer line GND, a positive data transfer line D+, a negative data transfer line D-, and a configuration channel line CC.
[0156] To understand, the positive power transfer path VBUS and the ground transfer path GND provide a stable power supply and good ground to the circuit, while the positive data transfer path D+ and the negative data transfer path D- transfer data in different directions, supporting bidirectional data transfer with two lines, positive and negative. The channel line CC is used to identify the role of external devices, helping to determine whether a device is a host device or an external device, and to determine the communication protocol and power supply method.
[0157] Furthermore, the massage bypass circuit 22 extends at least two transfer pins 222 to electrically connect with the massage function member 131 in order to ensure the normal operation of the massage function member 131.
[0158] Referring to Figures 13 to 15, as a specific embodiment, the massage function member 131 is a massage electrode sheet 26 including a main body 260, conductive pins 262 provided on the main body 260, and a conductive working surface 261. The transfer pins 222 include an EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) positive electrode pin EMS+ and an EMS negative electrode pin EMS-, and the conductive pins 262 of at least two massage electrode sheets 26 are electrically connected to the EMS positive electrode pin EMS+ and the EMS negative electrode pin EMS-, respectively.
[0159] To understand this, when the human body simultaneously comes into contact with the conductive working surfaces 261 of the two massage electrode sheets 26, a pathway is formed from the EMS positive electrode pin EMS+ to the human body and from the EMS negative electrode pin EMS-, creating a complete current circuit. This generates an electric shock effect on the massage electrode sheets 26, massaging the human body and ensuring massage safety. Furthermore, the operating intensity of the massage electrode sheets 26 can be controlled by controlling the strength of the output voltage signals of the EMS positive electrode pin EMS+ and the EMS negative electrode pin EMS-.
[0160] To make it easier to understand, if there are two massage electrode sheets 26, one massage electrode sheet 26 is connected to the EMS positive pin EMS+, and the other massage electrode sheet 26 is connected to the EMS negative pin EMS-. If there are multiple massage electrode sheets 26, they may be in series or parallel, but it is necessary to ensure that at least one massage electrode sheet 26 is connected to the EMS positive pin EMS+, at least another massage electrode sheet 26 is connected to the EMS negative pin EMS-, and that none of the massage electrode sheets 26 connected to the EMS positive pin EMS+ are connected to the EMS negative pin EMS-. In other words, in the overall design of data line 2, there is no conduction between the EMS positive pin EMS+ and the EMS negative pin EMS-, and a complete circuit is formed only when it comes into contact with the human body.
[0161] Specifically, in this embodiment, four massage electrode sheets 26 are provided: massage electrode sheet A, massage electrode sheet B, massage electrode sheet C, and massage electrode sheet D. Of these, one conductive pin 262 of massage electrode sheet A is connected to the EMS positive electrode pin EMS+, and the other conductive pin 262 is connected in series with massage electrode sheet B; one conductive pin 262 of massage electrode sheet C is connected to the EMS negative electrode pin EMS-, and the other conductive pin 262 is connected in series with massage electrode sheet D. When a person touches massage electrode sheet A and / or massage electrode sheet B, they simultaneously touch massage electrode sheet C and / or massage electrode sheet D, forming an electrical circuit. The massage electrode sheets 26 that touch the person generate electrical pulses, massaging the person.
[0162] Referring to Figure 16, in another specific embodiment, the massage function member 131 is a vibration motor 27 including a motor positive pin M+ and a motor ground pin M-, and the transfer pins 222 include a transfer positive pin V+ and a transfer ground pin V-, with the motor positive pin M+ and motor ground pin M- being electrically connected to the transfer positive pin V+ and transfer ground pin V-, respectively.
[0163] To make it easier to understand, the transfer positive pin V+ and transfer ground pin V- ensure that the vibration motor 27 operates normally and stably, allowing for better adjustment of the vibration motor 27's operating state and more precise control of its starting, stopping, and speed changes.
[0164] To make it clear, the two flexible circuit structures 132 in Figures 14 and 16 may be the front and back surfaces of the flexible circuit structure 132, with the main charging circuit 21 positioned on the front of the flexible circuit structure 132 and the massage function member 131 positioned on the opposite side along the extending direction of the flexible circuit structure 132, so that the surge bypass circuit 22 does not interfere with the power and data transfer of the main charging circuit 21.
[0165] Furthermore, the pads for the transfer pins 222 are provided on the flexible circuit structure 132, the first circuit board 23, or the second circuit board 24.
[0166] To make it easier to understand, by providing the pads for the transfer pins 222 on the flexible circuit structure 132, the length of the connection between the transfer pins 222 and the massage function member 131 can be shortened, making the layout of the internal circuit easier. By providing the pads for the transfer pins 222 on the first circuit board 23 or the second circuit board 24, the stability of the pads for the transfer pins 222 can be further improved.
[0167] It should be understood that the at least two transfer pins 222 drawn from the massage bypass circuit 22 refer only to two pins in an abstract sense. If the motor ground pin M- of the vibration motor 27 needs to be connected to the transfer ground pin V-, since the transfer ground pin V- is actually a ground pin, this transfer ground pin V- may be any point on the ground transfer line GND on the first circuit board 23 or the flexible circuit structure 132, i.e., the motor ground pin M- may be directly connected to the ground transfer line GND, in which case the transfer pins 222 drawn from the massage bypass circuit 22 have only the transfer positive pin V+.
[0168] As a specific embodiment, referring to Figures 17 and 18, the massage function member 131 is a massage electrode sheet 26, and the step-down unit 220 includes a step-down chip U3 and circuitry arranged around chip U3. Chip U is an RY9320, which is a high-frequency, synchronous, rectified, step-down switching mode converter. The first voltage obtained from the main charging circuit 21 is input to pin VIN of chip U3, and is converted by the RY9320 chip and its surrounding circuitry to output a second voltage of 5V.
[0169] The chip U1 and the circuitry surrounding it constitute the boost converter 221 and the master module 12. The chip U1 is in an IC-SOP14 package, and a second voltage of 5V is input to the VDD pin of the chip U1. This voltage is processed by the chip U1 and the surrounding circuitry, and the EMS+ and EMS- signals are output via the EMS pin. These two signals are connected to the EMS positive pin EMS+ and the EMS negative pin EMS-, respectively, and are connected to different massage electrode sheets 26. When a human body simultaneously touches the massage electrode sheet 26 connected to the EMS positive pin EMS+ and the massage electrode sheet 26 connected to the EMS negative pin EMS-, a complete current circuit is formed, allowing the user to experience electric pulse massage.
[0170] A control switch SW1 is connected to pin PB5 / XIN of chip U1, and the connected massage electrode sheet 26 can be started, stopped, and its shift position adjusted using the control switch SW1.
[0171] Three RGB lamps are connected in parallel to pins 12, 13, and 14 of chip U1. These three RGB lamps constitute the display device 121, which indicates that the range of the massage electrode sheet 26 is adjustable in three stages, making it easy for the user to observe the operating state of the massage function member 131.
[0172] Referring to Figures 19 and 20, a third embodiment of the present invention provides yet another data line 3, which is different from the data line 1 or data line 2 described above.
[0173] The housing 133 is provided with a flexible massage section 30 corresponding to the massage function member 131, and massage structures 300 are provided on both sides of the massage section 30.
[0174] To make it easier to understand, the flexible massage section 30 not only reduces the attenuation of massage intensity, but also reduces pressure on the skin by the massage module 13, thus avoiding discomfort and pain, and also makes the distribution of massage force more uniform, improving the user experience.
[0175] To make it easier to understand, providing massage structures 300 on both sides of the massage section 30 can offer a richer massage experience. Alternatively, the massage structures 300 on both sides may be the same or different. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shape of the massage structure 300 is not limited and may be, for example, a convex arc structure, a striped groove, an array of bumps or dimples, a wave-shaped structure, a helical structure, a spherical structure, etc.
[0176] Furthermore, the massage section 30 has a cavity 301 for housing the massage function member 131, and a boss 302 is provided on the inner wall of the cavity 301.
[0177] The boss 302 can better secure the massage function member 131 within the cavity 301, preventing it from shifting when it vibrates and massages, allowing the massage unit 30 to vibrate more effectively together with it, and working better with the massage structure 300 to provide a superior massage experience.
[0178] To make it easier to understand, if the massage function member 131 is a vibrator, the shape of the massage section 30 can be set to match the shape of a specific massage function member 131, allowing it to firmly enclose the massage function member 131. When the massage function member 131 vibrates, this firm enclosure reduces the effects of vibration due to air damping and other external factors, allowing vibration energy to be transmitted to the object more efficiently. In other words, the massage function member 131 can move the massage structure 300 better, and energy can be reduced.
[0179] Specifically, in this embodiment, the massage structure 300 on the massage section 30 side of the data line 3 is provided as a protrusion with a smooth outer surface, and a cavity 301 that fits the massage function member 131 is opened inside the protrusion, and an annular boss 302 is provided on the inner wall of the cavity 301, and a notch is opened in the annular boss 302 corresponding to the connection pin of the massage function member 131, and the main body of the massage function member 131 is fixed to the cavity 301 by the annular boss 302, and the connection pin of the massage function member 131 is exposed through the notch and connected to the flexible circuit structure 132.
[0180] To make it easier to understand, if the massage function member 131 is a vibrator, the housing 133 portion between the massage parts 30 can be designed to be as thin as possible and narrower in width, thereby reducing vibration damping and avoiding mutual influence between each massage function member 131, while also reducing the overall weight of the data line 3.
[0181] Combining Figures 21 and 22, an elastic structure 31 is provided on the circumferential side of the massage structure 300 on at least one side of the data line 3.
[0182] To understand this, if the massage function member 131 is a vibrator, the elastic structure 31 increases the range of motion and vibration space when the massage function member 131 vibrates, thereby ensuring a massage effect. At the same time, the vibration effect of the massage function member 131 can be concentrated in the massage structure 300, reducing attenuation caused by the vibration being transmitted to the rest of the vibration motor 27 in the housing 133, resulting in a better vibratory massage experience.
[0183] Alternatively, the elastic structure 31 is formed by connecting the first annular groove 310, the annular protrusion 311, and the second annular groove 312 in that order.
[0184] To make it easier to understand, the elastic structure 31 forms a structure similar to a "bow" with the sequentially connected first annular groove 310, annular protrusion 311, and second annular groove 312, thereby effectively increasing the vibration range of the massage function member 131 in all directions, resulting in a better vibration massage effect, while also effectively preventing the propagation of vibration to the rest of the structure.
[0185] To ensure understanding, the remaining structure of data line 3 is similar to that of data line 1 or data line 2, and has a similar effect; therefore, its explanation is omitted here.
[0186] Combining Figures 23 and 24, the data line 4 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention differs from the data line 1, data line 2, or data line 3 described above in that, when the massage function member 131 is a massage electrode sheet 26, the massage electrode sheet 26 is attached to the housing 133 via a support member 40.
[0187] To make it easier to understand, the structure of the massage electrode sheet 26 itself is simple, and the installation of the support member 40 makes it easier to attach the massage electrode sheet 26 to the housing 133, preventing the massage electrode sheet 26 from falling or being damaged.
[0188] Furthermore, the support member 40 has a hollow cavity 400 that houses the main body 260, the conductive working surface 261 is exposed to the hollow cavity 400, and a lateral groove 401 communicating with the hollow cavity 400 is provided at one end of the support member 40 away from the conductive working surface 261, and the conductive pin 262 is exposed to the lateral groove 401.
[0189] To make it clear, the hollow cavity 400 is designed so that the massage electrode sheet 26 is securely fitted inside the support member 40, preventing loosening or displacement of the massage electrode sheet 26 and ensuring stable operation during use. The conductive working surface 261 is directly exposed to the hollow cavity 400, facilitating contact with the skin of the human body and forming a good current circuit.
[0190] To make it clear, the lateral groove 401 is designed to expose the conductive pin 262, making it easier to connect the conductive pin 262 to the transfer pin 222. In addition, the design of the lateral groove 401 allows the flexible circuit structure 132 to pass through easily from below the support member 40, making the internal layout more compact.
[0191] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 9, 23, and 24, an annular groove 402 is provided on the circumferential side of the support member 40, and an opening 41 is made in the housing 133, with the annular groove 402 engaging with the edge of the opening 41.
[0192] To make it easier to understand, by engaging the annular groove 402 with the opening 41, the support member 40 and the housing 133 can be effectively brought into close contact. Furthermore, the engagement design simplifies the installation process and reduces the difficulty of production and maintenance.
[0193] The support member 40 may be connected to the housing 133 by means other than engagement, such as adhesive bonding.
[0194] Furthermore, the support member 40 and the massage electrode sheet 26 are integrally molded by insert injection molding.
[0195] To make it clear, this design creates a tight, integrated physical connection between the support member 40 and the electrode sheet, avoiding loosening, detachment, or poor contact that can occur with conventional connection methods, and ensuring the stability of the massage electrode sheet 26 during operation. By eliminating the extra connection and fastening steps required in conventional assembly, the production process is simplified and productivity is improved.
[0196] Furthermore, referring to Figure 9, the housing 133 has a housing groove 42 that fits in with the flexible circuit structure 132.
[0197] To make it clear, the housing groove 42 restricts and fixes the position of the flexible circuit structure 132, preventing the flexible circuit structure 132 from twisting or deforming within the housing 133 during use, which could lead to poor electrical contact or disconnection.
[0198] To make it easier to understand, the lateral groove 401 of the support member 40 must be positioned in the same direction as the housing groove 42, allowing the flexible circuit structure 132 to pass through easily from below the support member 40, and reducing bending and twisting of the leads connecting the conductive pin 262 and the transfer pin 222, thereby improving the reliability of the connection.
[0199] Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing 133 comprises a detachable upper housing and a lower housing, the opening 41 is provided in the upper housing, and the upper and lower housings have housing grooves 42 that are compatible with the flexible circuit structure 132.
[0200] Furthermore, the housing 133 includes end caps provided at both ends to protect the first circuit board 23 and the second circuit board 24, and the end caps also include a removable upper cap and a removable lower cap, and the end caps may be flexible or rigid.
[0201] To ensure understanding, the remaining structure of data line 4 is similar to that of data line 1, data line 2, or data line 3, and has a similar effect; therefore, its explanation is omitted here.
[0202] Referring to Figure 25, a fifth embodiment of the present invention provides yet another data line 5, which differs from data line 1, data line 2, data line 3 or data line 4 described above in the following ways.
[0203] The data line 5 also includes a detachable massage attachment 50, and the master module 12 is provided with an output interface 51, through which the massage attachment 50 is electrically connected to the master module 12.
[0204] To make it easier to understand, the massage attachment 50 is provided with a joint that fits the output interface 51, and power is supplied to the output interface 51 via the joint. This design allows the user to use the massage attachment 50 while performing a massage with the massage module 13. The massage attachment 50 is designed to be detachable and is connected via the output interface 51 and powered only when needed, without affecting the overall appearance of the data line 5, and facilitating maintenance and replacement of the massage attachment 50.
[0205] Furthermore, the massage member 50 is one or more of the following: a vibrating massage member, a heating massage member, and an electric pulse massage member.
[0206] To help users understand that different massage members 50 produce different massage effects, they can select them according to their preferences and, while using the massage module 13, select different massage members 50 to massage other areas.
[0207] To make it clear, when the massage member 50 is provided as multiple different massage members, the multiple massage members 50 can be further installed in parallel or in series, increasing the flexibility of the massage by the massage member 50, providing a richer massage experience, while also facilitating centralized control and simplifying the user's operation flow.
[0208] To make it easier to understand, the massage member 50 is made detachable, allowing for flexibility in appearance and design. Specifically, in this embodiment, the shape and structure of the massage member 50 are not particularly limited, and a specific massage member 50 can be provided for a body part that is prone to fatigue. For example, the massage member 50 may be a hot eye mask or the like.
[0209] The remaining structure of data line 5 is understood to be similar to that of data line 1, data line 2, data line 3, or data line 4, and to have a similar effect, but this explanation will be omitted here.
[0210] Referring to Figure 26, a sixth embodiment of the present invention provides another data line 6, which is distinguished from the data lines 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 described above by the fact that the data line 6 is also provided with a latching assembly 60.
[0211] Furthermore, referring to Figure 27, the latch assembly 60 includes a detachably connected latch 61 and a wire holder 62, the wire holder 62 being provided with a first through hole 620, a second through hole 621 and a lock release device 622. Both ends of the data line 6, namely the first transfer line 210 and the second transfer line 211, pass through the first through hole 620 and the second through hole 621, respectively, and are fixed or moved relative to the wire holder 62 by the lock release device 622.
[0212] To make it easier to understand, the latch assembly 60 improves the portability of the data cable 6, and by connecting both ends of the data cable 6 with the cable hook 62, the data cable 6 can be formed into a ring shape. The user can then wear the data cable 6 on their wrist, ankle, neck, etc., and adjust the size of the ring with the release device 622 to perfectly fit the body part, thereby obtaining a better massage effect.
[0213] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the fastener 61 is not limited. Alternatively, the fastener 61 may be a D-shaped fastener, an O-shaped fastener, a figure-eight fastener, or the like.
[0214] To ensure clarity, the specific configuration of the unlocking device 622 is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
[0215] As a specific example, the wire holder 62 has a set groove 623 that communicates with the first through hole 620 and the second through hole 621, and the unlocking device 622 includes a pressing member 624 and an elastic member 625 that contacts the pressing member 624, the pressing member 624 and the elastic member 625 are arranged in the set groove 623, and the pressing member 624 is provided with a groove 626. The first transfer wire 210 and the second transfer wire 211 are engaged with the groove 626 while passing through the first through hole 620 and the second through hole 621, and when the pressing member 624 is pressed downward, the elastic member 625 is pressed against the bottom surface of the set groove 623 and the pressing member 624, the groove 626 aligns with the first through hole 620 or the second through hole 621, and the first transfer wire 210 and the second transfer wire 211 become slidable relative to the wire holder 62. When the pressing member 624 is released, the pressing member 624 returns to its original position due to the repulsive force of the elastic member 625, causing a certain displacement between the groove 626 and the first through hole 620 or the second through hole 621, thereby locking the first transfer line 210 and the second transfer line 211 to the wire holder 62.
[0216] Referring further to Figure 28, the wire holder 62 includes a detachably connected male head 627 and female head 628, with a first through hole 620 and a second through hole 621 provided in the male head 627 and female head 628, respectively.
[0217] To make it easier to understand, the detachable male head 627 and female head 628 allow the first transfer line 210 and the second transfer line 211 to be easily engaged or disengaged, facilitating the deployment of the entire data line 6 in annular or linear manner, thus meeting the user's usage needs.
[0218] To make it clear, if the wire holder 62 includes a detachably connected male head 627 and female head 628, at least one of the male head 627 and female head 628 is provided with a release device 622.
[0219] To ensure clarity, the detachable connection method between the male head 627 and the female head 628 is not specifically limited in this embodiment. A detachable connection between the male head 627 and the female head 628 can be achieved by providing a projection on the male head 627 and a groove 626 on the female head 628. Alternatively, a detachable connection may be achieved by providing magnetic adsorption materials on both the male head 627 and the female head 628.
[0220] To ensure understanding, the remaining structure of data line 6 is similar to that of data line 1, data line 2, data line 3, data line 4, or data line 5, and has a similar effect; therefore, its explanation is omitted here.
[0221] Referring to Figure 30, a seventh embodiment of the present invention provides a method for controlling the massage of data lines used in data lines 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 as described above. Step S1: Based on user instructions, obtain control signals from the master module, Step S2: The first input / output module or the second input / output module receives an electrical signal and supplies power to the massage module. Step S3 includes controlling the massage module to perform a massage operation based on the control signal.
[0222] As can be understood, this method is easy to operate and intuitive, allowing the user to operate the massage module and perform massage actions simply by inputting user instructions. The massage module may be powered via the first input / output module or via the second input / output module, and is easy for the user to operate without having to determine the direction of the data lines.
[0223] Step S1 of the data line massage control method further includes the following steps:
[0224] Step S11: Control different operating modes of the data line based on user instructions. Operating modes include the data line transferring only data signals and / or electrical signals, the data line performing a massage operation while transferring data signals and / or electrical signals, and the data line performing a massage operation only.
[0225] To make it easier to understand, this data line massage control method has three different operating modes for the data line, which can meet the different usage needs of the user. The user can select a different operating mode simply by entering the corresponding user command, making it easy to operate. This method has the same beneficial effects as the data line 1, data line 2, data line 3, data line 4, data line 5, and data line 6 described above, so it will not be explained here.
