Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of massagers, and more particularly to head massagers. [Background technology]

[0002] In today's fast-paced life, people are faced with various pressures, and head fatigue and discomfort have become common problems. People often resort to head massage methods to relax and recover from fatigue, but manual massage is relatively expensive and time-consuming, so low-cost and flexible head massagers are popular.

[0003] Conventional massage methods that use vibration motors to generate vibrations can cause side effects on the head, ultimately leading to headaches. Therefore, the massage method used in head massagers on the market in recent years is primarily a scratching massage, which primarily reciprocates the massage head using a drive mechanism to simulate the massage action of a human finger. For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent CN206372257U discloses a head massager in which a drive motor drives a connecting rod to rotate a driving plate, and the driving plate is installed so that the plate plane and the central axis of the connecting rod form an included angle, causing the massaging part to oscillate as the driving plate is driven, thereby providing a massage similar to a scratching effect on the head. However, this head massager only has a mechanical massage method and a single massage function, failing to meet the diverse needs of users. Therefore, head massagers with microcurrent massage functions have appeared on the market. For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent CN2788703U discloses a microcurrent scalp massager that transmits microcurrent to the human body through a flexible massage head while providing kneading massage. However, the electrical conduction and transmission structure of such a microcurrent scalp massager is more complex, resulting in a complex overall structure and high costs. In addition, all of these massagers have a handle at the top for the user to hold. This requires the user to raise their entire arm relatively high when holding and using the massager, which can easily cause hand fatigue and affect the durability and user experience of the head massage. Furthermore, the cross section of the massage heads of these massagers is almost circular, which makes it difficult to fully utilize the space within the massager. As a result, if the overall size of the massager is the same, the total area of ​​the multiple massage heads is relatively small, resulting in a relatively small massage area in contact with the head and a poor massage effect.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a technical solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a head massager that solves the technical problems of conventional head massagers, such as the more complicated electrical and transmission structures, which are more likely to cause hand fatigue to the user, and the small contact area between the massage head and the head.

[0010] Furthermore, the shape of the top surface of each massage head body is triangular or approximately triangular, and one vertex of the top surface of each massage head body is located close to the central axis X of the massage part.

[0011] Furthermore, the distance between the tips of the massage columns on each massage head body and the upper surface of the massage part gradually increases along the direction from the vertex close to the central axis X to the edge opposite to the vertex.

[0012] Furthermore, the conductive rod includes a first rod and a second rod connected to each other, the first rod and the second rod are installed to form an angle, the first rod is inserted into the transmission gear, and the conductive sleeve is movably fitted around the outside of the second rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the transmission conduction mechanism further includes a number of conductive springs, each of which has one end electrically connected to the control circuit board and the other end electrically connected to one end of the first rod, and the drive mechanism includes a motor and a group of drive gears drivingly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the group of drive gears is drivingly connected to a number of the transmission gears.

(3) The shape of the top surface of the massage head body is triangular or approximately triangular, so that when the size of the entire massage part is the same, the total area of ​​the massage parts of the multiple conductive massage heads of the present application is larger than the total area of ​​the massage part using multiple massage heads with circular cross sections in the prior art.

[0019] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below by way of examples with reference to the drawings, but the contents mentioned in the embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 11, in the head massager according to the present invention, the head massager includes a mounting case 1, the mounting case 1 includes a massage part 11, and a handle part 12 is extended from one end of the massage part 11. A mounting chamber is formed inside the mounting case 1, and a control circuit board 2, a drive mechanism 3, and a power transmission mechanism are installed in the mounting chamber. The drive mechanism 3 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 2, and the power transmission mechanism includes a number of transmission gears 41 that are connected to the drive mechanism 3 for transmission. Each transmission gear 41 is provided with a conductive rod 42, which is connected to the transmission gear 41 for power transmission. Each conductive rod 42 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 2. A number of through holes are provided on one side of the massage part 11, and the ends of each conductive rod 42 remote from the control circuit board 2 extend through the through holes to the outside of the massage part 11. Each conductive rod 42 is provided with a conductive massage head mechanism at the end remote from the control circuit board 2.

[0021] In this embodiment, a handle portion 12 is extended from one end of the massage portion 11. When using the massage portion 11, the user holds the handle portion 12 and places the massage portion 11 at the position of the head, and the handle portion 12 extends in a direction away from the massage portion 11. The set height of the handle portion 12 can be lower than the set height of the massage portion 11. Therefore, when using the head massager of this embodiment, the user's arms can be raised to a lower height than when the grip portion is installed at the top of the massager in the prior art. This effectively reduces hand fatigue during use and provides the user with a good user experience. Furthermore, in the head massager of this embodiment, the driving mechanism 3 rotates a number of transmission gears 41, which in turn rotate the conductive rods 42, which in turn drive the conductive massage head mechanisms to oscillate, thereby realizing a mechanical kneading massage for the user's head, and the conductive connection between the control circuit board 2, the conductive rods 42, and the conductive massage head mechanisms enables the conductive massage head mechanisms to transmit a microcurrent to the head to provide a microcurrent massage for the head, thereby increasing the variety of massage functions. Based on this, in this embodiment, conductivity and transmission can be achieved by the transmission gears 41, the conductive rods 42, and the conductive sleeve 43, which has a simpler structure and lower cost than the conductivity and transmission structures of the prior art.

[0022] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 3 to 5, each of the conductive massage head mechanisms includes a conductive sleeve 43 and a conductive massage head 5, the conductive sleeve 43 is fitted to the end of the conductive rod 42 away from the control circuit board 2, the conductive massage head 5 is fitted to the outside of the conductive sleeve 43, the conductive rod 42 includes a first rod 421 and a second rod 422 connected to each other, the first rod 421 and the second rod 422 are integrally formed and installed, the first rod 421 and the second rod 422 are installed to form an included angle, the first rod 421 is inserted into the transmission gear 41, and the conductive sleeve 43 is movably fitted to the outside of the second rod 422. 9, a clamp block 423 is installed on the second rod 422, and chuck jaws 431 are installed on the conductive sleeve 43, and the chuck jaws 431 are engaged with the clamp block 423, thereby realizing the conductive sleeve 43 being movably fitted on the outside of the second rod 422. In this embodiment, the first rod 421 and the second rod 422 are installed to form an included angle, and the conductive sleeve 43 is movably fitted on the outside of the second rod 422, so that the rotational movement of the transmission gear 41 is converted into the swinging movement of the conductive massage head 5, thereby realizing a head kneading massage.

[0023] 7 and 8, the conductive massage head 5 includes a massage head body 51, the bottom of which is provided with a connection hole 52 connected to the conductive sleeve 43. A plurality of massage columns 53 are provided on the top surface 511 of the massage head body 51, and the massage head bodies 51 are spaced apart around the central axis X of the massage unit 11. Specifically, the massage columns 53 may be cylindrical, with a plurality of cylindrical protrusions on the top surface, as shown in FIG. 1 . The massage columns 53 may also be approximately conical, as shown in FIG. 10 . Of course, in other embodiments, the massage columns 53 may have other shapes, and detailed descriptions are omitted here. In this embodiment, the conductive massage heads 5 are installed independently of each other, and the connection holes 52 at the bottom of each conductive massage head 5 facilitate attachment and detachment of the conductive massage heads 5, thereby facilitating removal and cleaning of the conductive massage heads 5. Specifically, the conductive massage head is made of conductive silicone rubber, which helps to improve the comfort of the head when it comes into contact with the head.

[0024] 7 and 8, the shape of the top surface 511 of each massage head body 51 is triangular or approximately triangular, and one vertex 512 of the top surface 511 of each massage head body 51 is located close to the central axis X of the massage unit 11. In this embodiment, the space that the massage unit 11 can provide for each massage head body 51 gradually expands along the direction from the central axis X to the edge of the massage unit 11. Therefore, in order to effectively utilize the space of the massage unit 11, the shape of the top surface 511 of the massage head body 51 is set to be triangular or approximately triangular, and preferably, the triangle is an isosceles triangle, with the apex of the massage head body 51 located close to the central axis X and the base located close to the edge of the massage unit 11. Therefore, the installation space required for the massage head body 51 also gradually expands along the direction from the central axis X to the edge of the massage unit 11, thereby fitting to the space of the massage unit 11. When installed in this manner, if the overall size of the upper surface 111 of the massage part 11 is the same, the total area of ​​the massage part of the multiple conductive massage heads 5 in this embodiment is larger than the total area of ​​the massage part using multiple massage heads with circular cross sections in the prior art. In other words, the conductive massage head 5 in this embodiment can make better use of the space of the massage part 11 and increase the massage area that comes into contact with the head.

[0025] 1 and 9, the distance between the tips of the massage pillars 53 on each massage head body 51 and the upper surface 111 of the massage unit 11 gradually increases from the vertex 512 close to the central axis X to the edge 513 opposite the vertex 512. In this embodiment, the distance between the tips of the massage pillars 53 on each massage head body 51 and the upper surface 111 of the massage unit 11 gradually increases from the vertex 512 close to the central axis X to the edge 513 opposite the vertex 512. This allows a groove to be formed that conforms to the curvature of a person's head after combining several conductive massage heads 5, thereby further increasing the massage area that the conductive massage heads 5 contact with the head.

[0026] 5-6 and 9, the power transmission mechanism further includes a number of conductive springs 45, each of which has one end electrically connected to the control circuit board 2 and the other end electrically connected to one end of the first rod 421. The drive mechanism 3 includes a motor 31 and a group of drive gears 32 drivingly connected to an output shaft 311 of the motor 31, and the group of drive gears 32 is power-transmittingly connected to a number of the transmission gears 41. Specifically, the motor 31 and the output shaft 311 are installed horizontally. In this embodiment, the conductive springs 45 can expand and contract, and by installing the conductive springs 45 between the control circuit board 2 and one end of the first rod 421, the electrical connection with the control circuit board 2 can be reliably maintained even during the movement of the conductive rod 42.

[0027] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 4 to 6, an inner case 6 is further installed in the mounting chamber, and an internal cavity is formed inside the inner case 6, and the output shaft 311 of the motor 31, the drive gear group 32, some of the transmission gears 41 and some of the first rods 421 are all installed in the internal cavity, some of the second rods 422 all extend to the outside of the inner case 6, some hollow pillars 61 are installed at the bottom end of the inner case 6, and each of the conductive springs 45 is installed in each of the hollow pillars 61, and the ends of each of the first rods 421 remote from the second rods 422 extend into the hollow pillars 61 and are electrically connected to the conductive springs 45, and the ends of each of the conductive springs 45 remote from the first rods 421 extend to the outside of the hollow pillars 61 and are electrically connected to the control circuit board 2. In this embodiment, the connection position between the conductive spring 45 and the first rod 421 is limited within the hollow pillar 61, which prevents the conductive rod 42 from separating from the conductive spring 45 during movement, thereby ensuring a more stable and reliable electrical connection between the conductive spring 45 and the conductive rod 42.

[0028] 4 and 5, the massager further includes a phototherapy mechanism 8, which is also installed in the mounting chamber. The phototherapy mechanism 8 includes a lamp panel 81 and a number of lamp beads 82 installed on the lamp panel 81. The lamp panel 81 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 2, and light emitted from the lamp beads 82 passes through the mounting case 1 and is emitted to the outside. Specifically, the lamp beads 82 are red light lamp beads. In this embodiment, the installation of the phototherapy mechanism 8 enables the user's head to be massaged or microcurrently massaged while also undergoing phototherapy, thereby further diversifying the functions of the head massager and meeting different needs of users.

[0029] 1 to 5, the massager further includes a rechargeable battery 7, which is installed in the handle portion 12 and electrically connected to the control circuit board 2. The handle portion 12 is provided with a control button 14 and a charging port 15, which are both electrically connected to the control circuit board 2. The handle portion 12 is further provided with a status indicator lamp (not shown) for indicating the current usage status of the head massager. The status indicator lamp is connected to the control circuit board 2. An anti-slip pattern is further installed on the outer surface of the handle portion 12. An insulating protective film sleeve 16 is attached in each of the through holes. The insulating protective film sleeve 16 has an escape hole 161 for allowing the conductive rod 42 to escape. In this embodiment, since the head massager can be used when washing hair, an anti-slip pattern is provided on the outer surface of the handle part 12 to prevent the head massager from becoming slippery due to the action of shampoo, and an insulating protective film sleeve 16 is attached inside each through-hole of the massage part 11 to prevent hair from passing through the through-holes and getting caught inside the mounting case 1 during use, avoiding discomfort to the user and protecting the drive mechanism 3 inside the mounting case 1.

[0030] A block diagram of a specific control circuit of the head massager of the present invention is shown in FIG.

[0031] The above-described examples are merely for illustrating some embodiments of the present invention, and although the description is more specific and detailed, it should not be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model claims of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all of these fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be governed by the scope of the utility model claims attached hereto. [Explanation of symbols]
