[0023] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0024] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include the first and second features being in direct contact, or may include the first and second features being in contact not directly but through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above," "above," and "above" a second feature includes the first feature being directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or may indicate that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. A first feature being "below," "below," and "below" a second feature includes the first feature being directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or may indicate that the first feature is at a lower level than the second feature.

[0025] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and other orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are intended to facilitate description and simplify operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and do not have any special meanings.

[0026] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present application provides a folding mask having both a folded state and an unfolded state. The folding mask comprises two spaced-apart mounting bases 1, a plurality of light strips 2, and a linkage mechanism 3. The light strips 2 are arranged in an arc shape, are arranged in an up-down direction, and the two ends of each light strip 2 are rotatably mounted on the two spaced-apart mounting bases 1. The light strips 2 can emit red light for a cosmetic effect. A linkage mechanism 3 is provided between the plurality of light strips 2. Under the action of the linkage mechanism 3, when any light strip 2 is flipped up and down relative to the mounting base 1, the other light strips 2 are also flipped up and down relative to the mounting base 1, and the light strips 2 are moved closer to or away from each other, thereby realizing the conversion of the folding mask between the folded state and the unfolded state.

[0027] The multiple light strips 2 in the above-mentioned folding mask can be linked and flipped. When any light strip 2 flips, under the action of the linkage mechanism 3, the other light strips 2 make a flipping movement in the same or opposite direction as the light strip 2, and the light strips 2 move closer to or away from each other. When the folding mask is needed, the light strips 2 move away from each other, and the folding mask is converted to an unfolded state, which can achieve zoning care for the face. In addition, there are gaps between the light strips 2, which have good air permeability and can dissipate the heat generated by the light strips 2 in time, helping to improve the user experience. After use, the light strips 2 are brought close to each other and folded together, and converted to a folded state, which is small in size and easy to store. The setting of the linkage mechanism 3 reduces the difficulty and time of operating the folding state and unfolded state conversion of the folding mask.

[0028] It is understandable that any light strip 2 that flips first can be driven manually or mechanically. In this embodiment, the folding mask also includes a driving mechanism, which is connected to any light strip 2 and is configured to drive the light strip 2 to flip. Exemplarily, the driving mechanism includes a motor 7, a worm, a worm gear and a transmission shaft, wherein the worm is connected to the output end of the motor 7 and meshes with the worm gear that is rotatably connected to the mounting base 1 through the transmission shaft, and the worm gear is fixed to one of the light strips 2, so that it performs a flipping motion under the action of the motor 7. The worm gear transmission structure has a self-locking function, which can keep each light strip 2 at any flipping angle, thereby providing long-term stable lighting for different positions of the face.

[0029] To achieve automatic control, the folding mask also includes a PCB board, which is connected to the drive mechanism and is configured to control the opening and closing of the motor 7. The mounting base 1 includes a detachably connected fixing plate 11, a first cover plate 13, a second cover plate 15, and a decorative ring 12, wherein the decorative ring 12 is sandwiched between the second cover plate 15 and the first cover plate 13 and together with the second cover plate 15 and the first cover plate 13 to form a cavity structure. The fixing plate 11 is fixed in the cavity. The PCB board is set on the fixing plate 11 of one of the mounting bases 1. The mounting base 1 is also embedded with an on / off switch 5 connected to the PCB board. The linkage mechanism 3 is set on the fixing plate 11 of the other mounting base 1. One end of each light strip 2 penetrates the cavity and is connected to the linkage mechanism 3. To improve comfort during use, the second cover plate 15 located on the inner side of the mounting base 1 is made of flexible silicone.

[0030] Optionally, a battery for powering the light strip 2 and the PCB board is also provided in the mounting base 1 provided with the PCB board, and the battery is a lithium battery for repeated use.

[0031] As shown in Figure 4 , the decorative ring 12, first cover plate 13, and / or second cover plate 15 can enclose a guide groove 6. Specifically, the sidewall of the mounting base 1 is provided with a guide groove 6, along which the light strip 2 rotates up and down, providing guidance for the rotation of the light strip 2. To prevent the light strip 2 from overrotating, a limit block 14 is also provided on the decorative ring 12.

[0032] To ensure the folding mask remains attached to the face during use, the folding mask in this embodiment further includes protective glasses 4. Referring to Figures 1-3 , the protective glasses 4 include a frame bracket 41, a frame 42, lenses 44, and temples 45. The frame bracket 41 is configured in an arc shape, and the frame 42 is mounted on the frame bracket 41. The frame 42 is provided with two light-transmitting holes corresponding to the human eyes. The lenses 44 are provided on the frame 42 to block the light-transmitting holes. The temples 45 are provided at both ends of the frame 42 and are configured to be mounted on the human ear. The mounting base 1 is provided at the junction of the temples 45 and the frame 42. When the folding mask is attached to the face, the light emitted by the light strip 2 can be filtered by the lenses 44 before entering the human eye, preventing the red light emitted by the light strip 2 from directly irradiating the eye area and damaging the eye.

[0033] The protective glasses 4 also include an aperture 43 with two light channels 431. These channels 431 can be inserted into the light-transmitting aperture and protrude beyond the frame bracket 41. Lenses 44 are positioned at the ends of the aperture 43 to block the light-transmitting aperture. When the folding mask is held against the face by the temples 45, the end of the aperture 43 away from the lenses 44 can contact the face, allowing the red light emitted by the light strip 2 to illuminate the eye area only through the lenses 44 and light channels 431. Exemplarily, the aperture 43 is made of flexible silicone to better conform to the skin around the eyes.

[0034] Optionally, the protective glasses 4 further include nose pads 46 and nose pad silicone 47 . The nose pads 46 are configured to assist the temples 45 to improve the support of the face on the folding mask, and the nose pad silicone 47 is configured to buffer the pressure of the nose pads 46 on the nose bridge.

[0035] In other embodiments, the protective glasses 4 may further include anti-slip silicone 48, which is mounted on the temples 45 to increase the friction between the temples 45 and the human ears, thereby further improving the stability of the folded mask when it is maintained on the face.

[0036] In other embodiments, straps may be used to maintain the folding mask on the face, which will not be elaborated further herein.

[0037] In this embodiment, the light strip 2 includes a light frame 21 and light sources 22, with multiple light sources 22 spaced apart on the light frame 21. Taking into account the distribution of the human face and the varying light tolerances of different areas, the light sources on different light frames emit light of varying wavelengths. For example, the face is divided into the forehead, eye area, chin, and neck. The light strip 2 is provided with four light sources, which, when deployed, provide care for these areas, respectively.

[0038] To prevent the light source and the wires connecting the light source from leaking out and causing damage, the light strip 2 also includes a protective shell that covers at least one side of the concave portion of the light frame 21. The protective shell is provided with light exit holes corresponding to the light source for light to pass through. For example, the protective shell is made of silicone.

[0039] As shown in Figures 2 and 5 , the linkage mechanism 3 includes multiple follower gears 31 mounted on one end of the light stand 21 and multiple transmission gears 32 mounted on the mounting base 1. The multiple follower gears 31 and the multiple transmission gears 32 mesh with each other, and the rotation axis of each follower gear 31 coincides with the rotation axis of the light strip 2 to which it is connected. When any light strip 2 is flipped, the follower gear 31 connected to that light strip 2 rotates, which in turn drives the meshed transmission gear 32 to rotate. The transmission gear 32 in turn drives the other meshed follower gears 31 to rotate, causing the multiple light strips 2 to flip toward or away from each other. It will be appreciated that both the follower gears 31 and the transmission gears 32 are sector gears to accommodate the mounting space. Furthermore, the transmission ratios between each follower gear 31 and each transmission gear 32 are different, allowing them to rotate at different angles, thereby preventing interference between the light strips 2 when flipped. For example, the follower gears 31 are integrally formed with the light stand 21.

[0040] In order to minimize the volume of the folding mask when folded, the light strip 2 and the protective glasses 4 should be in the same plane when the folding mask is folded. Taking the example of setting four light strips 2, for ease of description, the light strips 2 arranged from bottom to top are defined as the first light strip, the second light strip, the third light strip, and the fourth light strip. When the folding mask is folded, the fourth light strip is located directly in front of the protective glasses 4, and the first, second, third, and fourth light strips are in contact with each other and are parallel. When the folding mask is unfolded, the first, second, and third light strips flip downward, and the fourth light strip flips up and down.

[0041] Based on this, the transmission gear 32 is divided into a first transmission gear and a second transmission gear that are meshed together. The first transmission gear is located below the second transmission gear. The follower gear 31 is divided into a first follower gear arranged at one end of the first light strip, a second follower gear arranged at one end of the second light strip, a third follower gear arranged at one end of the third light strip, and a fourth follower gear and a fifth follower gear arranged at one end of the fourth light strip. The first follower gear and the second follower gear are both meshed with the first transmission gear, the third follower gear is meshed with the fourth follower gear, and the fifth follower gear is meshed with the second transmission gear. The rotational angular velocity of the first light strip is greater than the rotational angular velocity of the second light strip, and the rotational angular velocity of the second light strip is greater than the rotational angular velocity of the third light strip.
