[0008] In order to allow those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of the embodiments. In addition to the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0009] It should be noted that when one component is referred to as "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or indirectly connected through one or more intermediate components.

[0010] In this specification, the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "central," "axial," "radial," "circumferential," and the like, used to denote directions or positions, are intended only to facilitate the description of the present invention and to simplify the description based on directions or positions shown in the drawings, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must be constructed or operated in a particular direction, and therefore should not be understood as limitations of the present invention.

[0011] Unless otherwise specified or limited, the specific meaning of all technical and scientific terms used in the specification can be specifically understood by those skilled in the art. The terms used in this specification are used only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the specification.

[0012] 1 to 4, a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The massage device includes a shell 10, a drive member 20 attached to the shell 10, and a massage member 30 transmissively connected to the drive member 20. The shell 10 defines a movement space 12 therein. The movement space 12 extends through the side wall of the shell 10 and is therefore in communication with the external environment. The massage member 30 extends within the movement space 12 and can rotate relative to the shell 10 by the action of the drive member 20. During rotation of the massage member 30, a massage portion 32 of the massage member 30 extends beyond the movement space 12 of the shell 10 into the external environment, thereby massaging a corresponding part of the human body outside the shell 10.

[0013] In the massage device according to the embodiment of the present invention, a movement space 12 is defined within the shell 10, the massage members 30 extend within the movement space 12, and the drive member 20 rotates the massage members 30 so that they oscillate relative to the shell 10, causing the massage portions 32 (which may be the free ends of the massage members 30) of the massage members 30 to oscillate beyond the movement space 12 of the shell 10, causing the shell 10 to strike the corresponding part of the human body, thereby massaging the human body. The design of the movement space 12 in the shell 10 provides sufficient space for the massaging members 30 to oscillate, so that the massage device can generate a strong force against the massage part even if there is resistance from the massage part, thereby achieving a good massage effect.

[0014] Preferably, the massaging member 30 has an elastic structure and can be deformed when it hits the massage area, so that the shape of the massaging part 32 can be deformed to fit the shape of the massage area, thereby increasing the contact area between the massaging part 32 and the massage area and further improving the massage effect.

[0015] In some embodiments, the entire massaging member 30 may be made from a soft material such as silica, rubber, etc. In some embodiments, the outer portion of the massaging member 30 for contacting the massage area is made from a soft material, and the inner portion of the massaging member embedded in the outer portion is made from a hard material such as plastic, metal, etc.

[0016] As shown in Figure 4, the massage members 30 oscillate up and down within the movement space 12 along the depth direction of the movement space 12. Preferably, the thickness T of the massage members 30 is smaller than the depth D of the movement space 12 divided by the depth of the shell portion 10, so that the massage members 30 are completely housed within the movement space 12 when not in operation. The difference in thickness between the massage members 30 and the shell portion 10 provides space along the oscillation direction of the massage members 30, so that the massage members 30 can oscillate even when the massage site is in close contact with the outer surface of the shell portion 10, ensuring a smooth massage descent.

[0017] In this embodiment, the massage member 30 is generally shaped like an elongated column. To ensure an appropriate contact area when the massage member 30 impacts the massage area, the thickness T of the massage member 30 is preferably 1 mm to 150 mm, the width of the massage member 30 is preferably 1 mm to 150 mm, and the length of the massage member 30 is preferably 5 mm to 150 mm. One end of the massage member 30 is connected to the drive member 20, and the other end (i.e., the free end) of the massage member 30 functions as the massage portion 32, which swings out of the movement space 12 and hits the massage area. The entire massage member 30 is configured as a simple pendulum, so that even if the swing angle of the massage member 30 is small, the swing range of the massage portion 32 can be large.

[0018] In this embodiment, the massaging portion 32 is formed as a free end of the massaging member 30, but in other embodiments, the massaging portion 32 may be a portion other than the free end, for example, an intermediate portion of the massaging member 30. In some other embodiments, multiple massaging portions 32 may be provided.

[0019] Preferably, a plurality of protrusions 34 are formed on the outer surface of the massaging portion 32 of the massaging member 30 to improve stimulation of the massage site. Alternatively, the protrusions 34 may be formed on the entire outer surface of the massaging member 30. Preferably, the protrusions 34 are integrally formed with the massaging member 30, for example by injection molding. Alternatively, the protrusions 34 may be formed separately and then incorporated into the massaging member 30 by bonding.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 3 , the massage members 30 have a lateral dimension smaller than the movement space 12 of the shell 10, and a gap 40 is formed between the outer surface of the massage members 30 and the inner surface of the shell 10 surrounding the movement space 12. The gap 40 prevents the massaging members 30 from interfering with the shell 10 during swinging in the movement space 12. The width W of the gap 40 is designed to be 0.5 mm or more to ensure free swinging of the massage members 30 in the movement space 12. On the other hand, the width W of the gap 40 is designed to be less than 100 mm to avoid wasting space and reduce the overall size of the massage device. In certain embodiments, the width W of the gap 40 may be 0.5 mm, 1.5 mm, 3 mm, ..., 50 mm, ..., 99 mm, or 100 mm.

[0021] In this embodiment, the movement space 12 has a shape similar to that of the massage members 30. The width W of the gap 40 between the outer surface of the massage members 30 and the inner surface of the shell 10 is approximately constant along the circumferential direction. Specifically, the movement space 12 is generally racetrack-shaped. The inner surface of the shell 10 is continuous along the circumferential direction, and the movement space 12 is closed in the circumferential direction.

[0022] In this embodiment, the movement space 12 extends through two opposing side surfaces (upper and lower surfaces as viewed in FIG. 2) of the shell 10. In this case, the depth D of the movement space 12 is the same as the thickness of the shell 10, preferably within the range of 1 mm to 100 mm. During operation, the massage members 30 oscillate along the depth direction of the movement space 12, and can oscillate not only upward to the outside of the shell 10 but also downward to the outside of the housing. In other words, the massage members 30 can simultaneously massage two different parts of the human body located on both opposing sides of the shell 10, and are suitable for stimulating cavities inside the human body, such as the vagina.

[0023] In another embodiment, as shown in Figure 7, the movement space 12 may be a blind hole that extends through only one side of the shell 10, such as the upper surface. In this case, the depth D of the movement space 12 is less than the thickness of the shell 10. A massage device with a blind hole is suitable for massaging body surfaces such as the lower back and neck. Note that a massage device with a blind hole can also be used to massage body cavities, while a massage device with a through hole can also be used to massage body surfaces.

[0024] In other embodiments, as shown in Figures 5a to 5j, the movement space 12 may have a shape different from that of the massage member 30, so that the width W of the gap 40 can vary along the circumferential direction.

[0025] The shape of the movement space 12 may be regular or irregular, and specifically may be any one of a circle, semicircle, ellipse, square, rectangle, triangle, polygon, D-shape, C-shape, kidney-shape, heart-shape, gourd-shape, briolette-shape, etc., or a combination of at least two of these. For example, the movement space 12 shown in FIG. 5a is generally kidney-shaped, the movement space 12 shown in FIG. 5b is generally elliptical, the movement space 12 shown in FIG. 5c is generally rectangular, the movement space 12 shown in FIG. 5d is generally circular, the movement space 12 shown in FIG. 5e is generally irregular, and the movement space 12 shown in FIG. 5f is generally a combination of a triangle and a rectangle. Note that the shape of the movement space 12 is not limited to the embodiment and may be set as needed.

[0026] Alternatively, the movement space 12 may be open in the circumferential direction. That is, the inner surface of the shell 10 surrounding the movement space 12 is discontinuous in the circumferential direction. As shown in Figures 5g and 5h, a circumferential opening 14 is formed in the shell 10 and communicates with the movement space 12. The circumferential opening 14 is aligned with the massaging portion 32 along the longitudinal direction of the massaging member 30, and the massaging portion 32 extends from the movement space 12 through the circumferential opening 14. In this case, the massaging portion 32 can contact the corresponding part of the human body, not just the upper and / or lower surfaces of the massaging member 30, which further increases the massage area.

[0027] Alternatively, the massage members 30 can be entirely contained within the movement space 12, even if the movement space 12 is open in the circumferential direction. Figure 5i shows that when the massage members 30 are entirely within the movement space 12, the movement space 12 is generally briolette-shaped and open in the circumferential direction. Alternatively, the massage members 30 contained within the movement space 12 can be out of the circumferential opening 14. Figure 5i shows that the movement space 12 is generally C-shaped, and the massage members 30 are generally columnar and arranged parallel to the circumferential opening 14 of the movement space 12.

[0028] The shape of the massage members 30 may be regular or irregular, specifically, circular, semicircular, oval, square, rectangular, triangular, polygonal, D-shaped, C-shaped, kidney-shaped, heart-shaped, gourd-shaped, branch-shaped, etc., or a combination of at least two of these. The shape of the massage members 30 and the shape of the movement space 12 can be selected arbitrarily as long as the massage members 30 can move within the movement space 12. Figures 5a to 5j show movement spaces 12 of different shapes having the same massage members 30. Note that the present invention does not impose any limitations on the shapes of the movement space 12 and the massage members 30, nor on the combination of the shape of the movement space 12 and the shape of the massage members 30.

[0029] Referring again to FIG. 1 , the shell 10 is elongated, and a movement space 12 is defined in the longitudinal direction in the middle portion of the shell 10. Preferably, the movement space 12 in the middle portion of the shell 10 is closed in the circumferential direction, and the shell 10 is formed with two support arms 16 on both sides (i.e., the left and right sides) of the movement space 12. The support arms 16 strengthen the strength of the shell 10, so that the massage members 30 can be effectively supported even when they swing rapidly and / or significantly. Preferably, the width of the support arms 16 is within the range of 1 mm to 150 mm, which is advantageous for miniaturizing the massage device, particularly the diameter of the massage device, so that the massage device can be used to massage narrow and small areas, such as cavities in the human body.

[0030] The shell 10 may be designed to have an external contour depending on its application scenario. When the massage device is used inside the human body, such as when inserted into a woman's vagina, the shell 10 may be shaped like a man's penis, as shown in Figures 1 to 4. When the massage device is used outside the human body, the shell 10 may be any shape, such as a column, block, disk, or branch.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the shell 10 has a two-layer structure, including an inner shell 10a and an outer shell 10b that completely covers the inner shell 10a. The inner shell 10a is made of a hard material such as plastic, metal, or wood. The outer shell 10b is made of a soft material such as silicone or rubber. The inner shell 10b, located inside the outer shell 10b, not only supports the outer shell 10a but also provides a receiving space for the drive member 20. The shell 10b, which comes into direct contact with the massage area, preferably has a smooth outer surface so that the entire massage device has high strength and a comfortable user experience.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inner shell 10a is formed in two pieces by injection molding, and then assembled by snap fitting, screws, etc. to facilitate assembling components such as the drive member 20 inside the shell 10. The outer shell 10b is integrally formed by a second injection molding, and covers the inner shell 10b after the inner shell 10a and the components inside the inner shell 10a are assembled. The one-piece outer shell 10b is advantageous for waterproofing and dustproofing the massage device so that it can be used underwater or in a cavity of the human body.

[0033] In other embodiments, the inner shell 10a may be molded as a single piece. In this case, the components mounted inside the inner shell 10a are placed in a mold and injected into the inner shell 10a. Alternatively, the outer shell 10b may be molded in two or more pieces that are then assembled together. In this case, the shell 10 is removable for component replacement, which is advantageous for maintaining the massage device. The inner shell 10a may be the same as the outer shell 10b, so that the shell 10 has two different layers at any location. Alternatively, the inner shell 10a may differ from the shell 10b in certain regions, so that certain regions of the shell 10 may be a single layer without the layer that is the hard inner shell 10a.

[0034] Preferably, the movement space 12 is defined at the position of the soft outer shell 10b with the hard inner shell 10a formed inside, so that the solid part surrounding the movement space 12 is made up of two layers, and its strength is sufficient to support the oscillation of the massage member 30. It should be understood that if the usage environment does not require high requirements, the movement space 12 can be formed at the position of the outer shell 10b without the inner shell 10a formed inside. In other embodiments, the shell 10 may have a single-layer structure with a certain hardness.

[0035] 6 to 8, the driving member 20 is used to generate power for oscillating the massage members 30 relative to the shell 10, and may be a rotary motor or the like. Preferably, a transmission member 22 is provided between the driving member 20 and the massage members 30. The transmission member 22 may be a gear mechanism, pulley mechanism, crank mechanism, cam mechanism, turbine mechanism, or the like that not only transmits power from the driving member 20 to the massage members 30 but also changes the motion pattern therebetween, such as converting the rotation of the driving member 20 into the oscillation of the massage members 30.

[0036] In this embodiment, the drive member 20 is a rotary motor, and the transmission member 22 is a cam. The rotary motor 20, the cam 22, and the massage members 30 together constitute a massage module. The rotary shaft 21 of the rotary motor 20 is connected to the center of the cam 22, and the drive shaft 23 extends from the outer periphery of the cam 22 and is connected to the massage members 30. Both the rotary shaft 21 and the drive shaft 23 extend approximately parallel to the longitudinal direction of the shell portion 10, but the drive shaft 23 is eccentric with respect to the rotary shaft 21. During rotation, the drive shaft 23 revolves around the rotary shaft 21, generating movement along both the thickness and width directions of the shell portion 10.

[0037] In this embodiment, the massaging member 30 includes a soft cover 36 and a hard core 38 embedded in the soft cover 36. The hard core 38 defines a groove 39 adjacent to the end of the drive member 20 for receiving the drive shaft 23, and the groove 39 is configured to allow movement of the drive shaft 23 in the width direction while restricting movement of the drive shaft 23 in the thickness direction. For example, the width dimension of the groove 39 is much larger than the diameter of the drive shaft 23, and the thickness dimension of the groove 39 is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the drive shaft 23. This allows the drive shaft 23 to drive the hard core 38 up and down, and further allows the massaging member 30 to oscillate along the thickness direction against the external environment.

[0038] Two opposing sides of the core 38 are rotatably connected to the shell 10a, preferably via a pivot 54, to the inner shell 10a. The pivot 54 is located near the groove 39, allowing the massaging portion 32 of the massage member 30 to have a larger oscillation range. The pivot 54 may be formed integrally with the inner shell 10a or the core 38, or may be formed separately and then assembled to the inner shell 10a and the core 38. Preferably, the core 38 has a length equal to or greater than half the length of the soft cover 36. That is, the core 38 extends to at least the middle portion of the soft cover 36, which is advantageous for providing sufficient support to the soft cover 36 and driving the oscillation of the massaging portion 32 within the soft cover 36.

[0039] The massage member 30 connected to the shell part 10 at a position adjacent to the end of the shell part 10 connected to the driving member 20 makes the massage member 30 a simple pendulum, so that the massage part 32 of the massage member 30 away from the free end of the driving member 20 has a larger swing range even if the swing angle of the massage member 30 is small.

[0040] 2 to 4, the massage device further includes a first vibrating member, such as a first vibrating motor 50. The first vibrating motor 50 is disposed at the tip of the shell 10 to generate high-frequency vibrations. When the massage device is used, for example, in the vagina of a human body, the first vibrating motor 50 at the tip of the shell 10 provides a vibration effect to the vaginal wall, and the massaging member 30 simultaneously provides a scratching effect to the vaginal wall, thereby enhancing the stimulating effect on the user.

[0041] 2 to 4, the massage device further includes a second vibration member such as a second vibration motor 52. The second vibration motor 52 is disposed within the branch 19 of the shell 10, which curves and extends from the rear end of the movement space 12 of the shell 10 to the upper side of the massaging member 30. When the massage device is used inside the vagina, the first vibration motor 50 at the tip of the shell 10 provides a vibration effect to the vaginal wall, the massaging member 30 provides a scratching effect to the vaginal wall, and the second vibration motor 52 at the branch 19 of the shell 10 provides a vibration effect to the clitoris, thereby maximizing the stimulation effect on the user.

[0042] 2 to 4, the massage device further includes a control member 56, such as a control circuit board, attached to the shell 10. The control member 56 is electrically connected to the rotary motor 20 and the vibration motors 50, 52 for controlling operations in response to user instructions, such as controlling the frequency of the vibration motors 50 and 52 and the rotation speed of the rotary motor 20.

[0043] Preferably, a battery 58 is disposed within the shell 10 and electrically connected to the circuit board 56. The battery 58 supplies power to the motors 20, 50, 52 via the circuit board 56. Preferably, the battery 58 is a rechargeable battery, and a corresponding charging interface 59 may be provided at the rear end of the shell 10 for connecting to an external power source to charge the battery 58.

[0044] The massage device according to this embodiment defines a movement space 12 within the shell 10 to provide sufficient space for the oscillation of the massage members 30, so that the massage device 30 can generate a strong force on the massage area even if there is resistance from the massage area, thereby achieving a good massage effect. The massage device is also provided with vibration motors 50, 52 for generating high-frequency vibrations, further improving the massage effect.

[0045] 9 and 10, a massage device according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. The massage device includes a shell 10 defining a movement space 12 therein, a massage member 30 housed in the movement space 12, and a drive member 20 mounted within the shell 10 and connected to the massage member 30 in a transmission manner. The movement space 12 extends laterally through the shell 10, and two openings are provided on two opposing side surfaces (such as the upper and lower surfaces) of the shell 10, allowing the movement space 12 to communicate with the external environment. The difference between the massage device of this embodiment and the massage device of the first embodiment lies mainly in the massage member 30.

[0046] In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 14 to 16 , the massage member 30 is configured as an impeller overall, and includes a hub 31 and a plurality of blades 33 extending radially outward from the hub 31. The blades 33 and the hub 31 may be formed separately and then assembled, or may be integrally formed as a single unit. The hub 31 is rotatably connected to the support arm 14 of the shell portion 10 by a first pivot 54, and the blades 33 are arranged around the hub 31 and spaced apart from one another. Each blade 33 has an inner end connected to the hub 31 and an outer free end remote from the hub 31. The free end of each blade 33 constitutes the massage portion 32 of the massage member 30.

[0047] 11 to 13, the massage members 30 as a whole have a diameter greater than the depth of the movement space 12 of the shell 10, and some of the massage portions 32 of the wings 31 extend beyond the movement space 12 into the external environment. In this embodiment, the movement space 12 extends through the upper and lower sides of the shell 10, and some of the massage portions 32 of the wings 31 extend beyond the movement space 12 to the upper side of the shell 10, and some of the massage portions 32 of the wings 31 extend beyond the movement space 12 to the lower side of the shell 10.

[0048] In operation, the drive member 20 is started, driving the massaging members 30 to rotate about the first pivot 54. During the rotation of the massaging members 30, each vane 33 may rotate to a position where it is completely housed within the movement space 12, or may rotate to a position where the massaging portions 32 extend beyond the movement space 12 into the external environment. That is, the massaging portions 32 of the vanes 33 of the rotating massaging member 30 sequentially scratch the parts of the human body that are adjacent to the outer surface of the shell 10, for example, scratching the vaginal wall when the massaging device is inserted into a woman's vagina, thus generating a stimulating effect that helps a woman release her sexual pressure.

[0049] 14 to 16, the driving member 20 may be a rotary motor, and a transmission unit 24 for transmitting power is connected between the driving member 20 and the massaging member 30.

The first gear 243 is fixedly connected to the rotary shaft 21 of the rotary motor 20, and the fourth gear 246 is fixedly connected to the hub 31 of the massaging member 30. The second gear 244 and the third gear 245 are coaxial and connected by a connecting rod 247.

[0050] 16, a block 248 is provided on the side of the fourth gear 246 facing the massaging member 30, and a mounting hole 311 (as shown in FIG. 15) is defined in the center of the hub 31 for receiving the block 248 therein. Preferably, the mounting hole 311 and the block 248 are non-circular in shape, such as rectangular, so that engagement of the block 248 within the mounting hole 311 allows the massaging member 30 to rotate together with the fourth gear 246.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first gear 243 and the second gear 244 are spur gears, and the third gear 245 and the fourth gear 246 are bevel gears. With this transmission unit 24, the rotation axis of the massage member 30, which extends substantially along the lateral direction of the shell 10, is approximately perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotation shaft 21 of the drive member 20, which extends substantially along the longitudinal direction of the shell 10.

[0052] In this embodiment, the fourth gear 246 is rotatably connected to the shell 10 by the second pivot 55. The second pivot 55 and the first pivot 54 are coaxially arranged and are respectively connected to the two support arms 14 of the shell 10. In other embodiments, the first pivot 54 and the second pivot 55 may be integral.

[0053] 12, the first vibrating member 50 is located at the front end of the shell 10, while the second vibrating member 52 is located at the branch 19 of the shell 10, which curves from the rear end of the movement space 12 of the shell 10 to the upper side of the massage member 30, providing high-frequency vibrations to enhance the stimulating effect. A control member 56 is mounted within the shell 10 and electrically connected to the rotation motor 20 and the vibration motors 50, 52 to control their operation. A battery 58 is located within the shell 10 and electrically connected to the circuit board 56 to supply power to the rotation motor 20 and the vibration motors 50, 52.

[0054] 17 to 19, a massage device according to a third embodiment is shown, which is similar to the second embodiment except for the transmission unit 24.

[0055] 18 and 19 , the transmission unit 24 includes a gear unit 241 and a pulley unit 242. The gear unit 241 includes a first gear 243 and a second gear 244 that mesh with each other, and preferably the first gear 243 and the second gear 244 are bevel gears. The pulley unit 242 includes a drive pulley 245, a driven wheel 246, and a belt 247 that interconnects the drive pulley 245 and the driven wheel 246.

[0056] During operation, the driving member 20 is started, and the massaging member 30 is thus driven to rotate about the first pivot 54 via the transmission unit 24. The vanes 33 of the massaging member 30 may rotate to be completely housed within the movement space 12, or may rotate so that the massaging portions 32 extend beyond the movement space 12 into the external environment. That is, the massaging portions 32 of the vanes 33 of the rotating massaging member 30 sequentially scratch the parts of the human body that are close to the outer surface of the shell 10, such as scratching the woman's vaginal wall, thereby generating a stimulating effect that helps women release their sexual pressure. In some cases, the massaging device may be inserted into the anus or rectum, and therefore the massaging device may be applied to both women and men.

[0057] In this embodiment, the driving pulley 244 and the second gear 244 are coaxial, and the driven wheel 246 and the hub 31 are coaxial. The hub 31 and the driven wheel 246 are rotatably connected to the shell 10 by a first pivot 54, and the second gear 244 and the driving pulley 244 are rotatably connected to the shell 10 by a second pivot 55, where the second pivot 55 is parallel to the first pivot 54. The transmission unit 24 achieves long-distance power transmission, so that the driving member 20 and the massaging member 30 can be set at different positions, for example, the massaging member 30 is inside the moving space 12, and the driving member 20 is outside the moving space 12.

[0058] 20 to 23, a massage device according to a fourth embodiment is shown. In this embodiment, the massage device includes a shell 10 defining a movement space 12 therein, a massage member 30 configured as an impeller and rotatably accommodated in the movement space 12 by a pivot 54, and a drive member 20 attached to the shell 10 and coupled to the massage member 30 in a transmission manner. The movement space 12 extends laterally through two opposing side surfaces of the shell 10, allowing the massage portion 32 of the massage member 30 to rotate in the external environment. The main difference between the massage member 30 of this embodiment and the massage member 30 of the second embodiment is that the pivot 54 extends approximately along the longitudinal direction of the shell 10.
