The terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0022] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, there is shown a massage device 100 for massaging a massage target part P of a user provided according to an embodiment of the present application. The massage device 100 includes a casing 10, a rubber body 20, and an outer cover 30. A cavity 11, a first opening 12, and a second opening 13 communicating with the cavity 11 are formed in the casing 10. One end of the rubber body 20 is engaged with the first opening 12 to seal the first opening 12, and the other end of the rubber body 20 extends into the cavity 11 through the first opening 12. A chamber 21, an inlet 22, and an exhaust port 23 communicating with the chamber 21 are formed in the rubber body 20. The inlet 22 is formed in a portion of the rubber body 20 exposed at the first opening 12, and the exhaust port 23 is formed in a portion of the rubber body 20 accommodated in the cavity 11. The outer cover 30 is connected to the second opening 13 and is movable relative to the casing to adjust the degree of shielding of the second opening 13 by the outer cover 30.
[0023] In some embodiments, the outer cover 30 and the second opening 13 can be screwed together. By screwing the outer cover 30 with an external force, the outer cover 30 can move while rotating along the axis with respect to the second opening 13. According to the actual situation, the outer cover 30 can also be elastically fitted into the second opening 13, and by pushing and pulling the outer cover 30 with an external force, the outer cover 30 can move along the axis with respect to the second opening.
[0024] In some embodiments, several long holes may be drilled in the second opening 13. The extending direction of the long holes coincides with the movement locus of the outer cover 30. By moving the outer cover 30 with respect to the second opening 13, the degree of shielding of the long holes by the outer cover 30 is different, so as to adjust the degree of shielding of the second opening 13. According to the actual situation, a seal packing may be provided in the gap between the outer cover 30 and the second opening 13. By moving the outer cover 30 with respect to the second opening 13 and having different degrees of compressing the seal packing, the degree of shielding of the second opening 13 is adjusted.
[0025] The wall of the cavity 11, the rubber body 20, and the outer cover 30 define an air chamber, and the air in the air chamber enters and exits the air chamber through the second opening 13 and / or the exhaust port 23.
[0026] When the massage device 100 is in use: As shown in FIG. 2, when the massage target part P enters the chamber 21 from the inlet 22, air resistance to the massage target part P is generated by the air in the chamber 21, preventing the massage target part P from entering the chamber 21. However, due to the presence of the exhaust port 23, the air in the chamber 21 enters the air chamber from the exhaust port 23, and the air in the air chamber exits the air chamber through the second opening 13. As the massage target part P gradually enters the chamber 21, the increasing speed of the air resistance slows down.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 3, when the massage target part P exits the chamber 21 from the inlet 22, a negative pressure is generated in the chamber 21, preventing the massage target part P from exiting the chamber 21. However, due to the presence of the exhaust port 23, the air in the air chamber enters the chamber 21 from the exhaust port 23, and air enters the air chamber through the second opening 13. As the massage target part P gradually exits the chamber 21, the increasing speed of the negative pressure slows down.
[0028] By changing the degree of shielding of the second opening 13 by the outer cover 30, the speed of air entering and leaving the air chamber from the second opening 13 can be controlled, and the air resistance and negative pressure can be controlled. When the degree of shielding of the second opening 13 by the outer cover 30 increases, the speed of air entering and leaving the air chamber from the second opening 13 slows down. As the degree of entry of the massage target part P into the chamber 21 increases, the rate of increase in air resistance becomes slower or does not slow down at all. On the other hand, as the degree of the massage target part P leaving the chamber 21 increases, the rate of increase in negative pressure becomes slower or does not slow down at all. When the degree of shielding of the second opening 13 by the outer cover 30 decreases, the speed of air entering and leaving the air chamber from the second opening 13 increases. As the degree of entry of the massage target part P into the chamber 21 increases, the increase in air resistance decelerates more rapidly or the air resistance decreases. On the other hand, as the degree of the massage target part P leaving the chamber 21 increases, the rate of increase in negative pressure becomes slower or the negative pressure decreases. The user can adjust the air resistance and negative pressure according to actual needs.
[0029] In a state where the rubber body 20 has not changed, that is, in a state where the massage target part P has entered the chamber 21 and expanded the chamber 21, the air chamber is configured to be able to adjust its volume. In the process of increasing the volume of the air chamber, a suction force for sucking the massage target part P into the chamber 21 is generated, improving the comfort of the massage.
[0030] Regarding how to adjust the volume of the air chamber, two specific implementation forms are introduced below. It should be noted that the following methods are merely examples, and other massage devices that can meet the above situation are also included within the protection scope of this application.
[0031] In one implementation form, the casing 10 is made of an elastic material, such as elastic plastic or rubber. The user can reduce the volume of the air chamber by pressing the casing 10. After the user stops pressing the casing 10, the casing 10 automatically restores, restoring the volume of the air chamber, that is, increasing the volume.
[0032] 1, in some embodiments, the entire casing 10 has a cylindrical shape surrounding a reference line O. A first opening 12 is formed at one end of the casing 10 along the reference line, and a second opening 13 is formed at the other end of the casing 10 along the reference line. A cavity 11 also extends along the reference line and is located between the first opening 12 and the second opening 13. The cylindrical casing 10 is easy to grip, but the casing 10 can also be designed to be spherical, conical, etc., depending on the actual situation.
[0033] 1 and 4, in another implementation, an air bladder 40 is provided in the cavity 11. The air bladder 40 is surrounded by the walls of the cavity 11 and surrounds the rubber body 20. The air bladder 40, the walls of the cavity 11, the rubber body 20, and the outer cover 30 define an air chamber. After an uninflated air bladder 40 is inflated, the volume of the air chamber is smaller, and after an inflated air bladder 40 is deflated, the volume of the air chamber is larger.
[0034] In some embodiments, a through hole 14 that communicates with cavity 11 is formed in casing 10 so that air tube 41 of air bag 40 can extend from cavity 11, making it convenient to inject and release air into and from air bag 40 by connecting it to an air injection device such as an air compressor.
[0035] In some embodiments, the bladder 40 is attached to the wall of the cavity 11, for example by adhesive means. When the bladder 40 is not inflated, the bladder 40 is a preset distance away from the rubber body 20 to prevent contact between the bladder 40 and the rubber body 20 and to avoid affecting the feel of the rubber body 20.
[0036] Referring to FIG. 5, in some embodiments, the air bag 40 has a sheet-like shape when deployed, and can be rolled up to surround the rubber body 20 into a cylindrical shape, or can be directly designed into a cylindrical shape according to actual conditions.
[0037] It should be understood that the above two implementation forms for changing the volume of the air chamber are not contradictory, and either can exist simultaneously according to the actual situation, or only one of them can be selected.
[0038] In some embodiments, the rubber body 20 is made of a flexible material such as silicone.
[0039] In some embodiments, a hook 31 is formed at a position aligned with the second opening 13 of the outer cover 30, and a string 24 for hooking the hook 31 is provided at one end housed in the cavity 11 of the rubber body 20, so that one end housed in the cavity 11 of the rubber body 20 remains suspended, and it is possible to avoid the touch of the rubber body 20 being affected by the rubber body 20 coming into contact with other structures.
[0040] In some embodiments, an uneven pattern or a spiral pattern for increasing the friction between the wall of the chamber 21 and the massage target site P is formed on the wall of the chamber 21.
[0041] Compared with the prior art, by configuring the outer cover 30 capable of adjusting the degree of shielding of the second opening 13, the air pressure in the chamber 21 can be adjusted, and a user-friendly massage device 100 is realized.
[0042] In addition, in a state where the rubber body 20 has not changed, the air chamber is configured to be able to adjust its volume. When the volume of the air chamber becomes smaller, a suction force for sucking the massage target site P into the chamber 21 is generated, improving the comfort of the massage.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely to clarify the technical means of the present application and are by no means intended to limit the present application. In the technical idea of the present application, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments can be combined, and the steps can be implemented in any order. There are many other modifications of the different aspects of the present application described above, but they will not be described in detail for the sake of simplicity. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical means described in each of the foregoing embodiments or replace some of these technical features within the equivalent scope. Such modifications or replacements do not depart from the essence of the corresponding technical means from the scope of the technical means of each embodiment of the present application.
