[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1-3, embodiments provided by the present application.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application provides a massage instrument, which comprises a host shell 10, a massage assembly 20, a left clamping arm 30 and a right clamping arm 40. The massage assembly 20 is arranged in the host shell 10. The left clamping arm 30 is installed at the left end of the host shell 10. The right clamping arm 40 is installed at the right end of the host shell 10. The left clamping arm 30 and the right clamping arm 40 are symmetrically arranged. Specifically, the host shell 10 is arc-shaped. In use, the inner side of the host shell 10 faces the neck of a user. Both ends of the host shell 10 are provided with a notch 11 and a spring sheet 12. The spring sheet 12 is integrally formed with the host shell 10. The spring sheet 12 can be cut out from the upper shell of the host shell 10. The notch 11 corresponds to the cutting seam on both sides of the spring sheet 12. The spring sheet 12 is arranged in the notch 11 along the extension direction of the notch 11. The material of the host shell 10 and the spring sheet 12 is a rigid material with certain elastic deformation capacity, such as plastic. The upper end of the left clamping arm 30 and the right clamping arm 40 is provided with a connecting part 31. The connecting part 31 is detachably connected with the spring sheet 12, so that the left clamping arm 30, the right clamping arm 40 and the host shell 10 form a C-shaped structure. In use, the left clamping arm 30, the right clamping arm 40 and the host shell 10 can be wrapped around the neck of a user. The spring sheet 12 can elastically deform relative to the host shell 10, and drive the left clamping arm 30 and the right clamping arm 40 to open outward or clamp inward, so as to adjust the size of the wearing space, so that the massage instrument can effectively adapt to necks with different neck circumference, and is beneficial to further expand the application population of the massage instrument. In the embodiment, the hard host shell 10 is arranged to replace the flexible main body in the existing massage instrument. The spring sheet 12 is arranged at the end of the host shell 10 to replace the elastic support, and is detachably connected with the connecting part 31 arranged on the left clamping arm 30 and the right clamping arm 40. The left clamping arm 30 and the right clamping arm 40 can be relatively opened or clamped, and are detachably installed with the host shell 10. The installation structure of the massage assembly 20 is optimized. The connection structure of the elastic support and the flexible main body is simplified. The production difficulty and assembly cost of the massage instrument as a whole are reduced. The use and maintenance in the later stage are also more convenient. The massage instrument provided by the embodiment is mainly used for neck massage. Of course, it can also be applied to shoulder massage and leg massage.

[0033] Specifically, the outer end of the elastic sheet 12 is provided with a plurality of connecting columns 121, the upper end of the connecting part 31 is provided with a plurality of connecting grooves 311, the connecting columns 121 are correspondingly inserted into the connecting grooves 311, so that the elastic sheet 12 and the connecting part 31 are detachable. In addition, in order to further reinforce the connection between the elastic sheet 12 and the connecting part 31, a part of the connecting columns 121 is provided with an internal thread column 122, a part of the connecting grooves 311 is provided with a connecting hole 312, the connecting hole 312 corresponds to the internal thread column 122, and the connecting hole 312 and the internal thread column 122 are connected by a screw.

[0034] Further, the inner wall of the elastic sheet 12 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 123, the reinforcing ribs 123 are arranged along the extension direction of the elastic sheet 12, and cross the connection between the elastic sheet 12 and the main shell 10, so that the strength of the elastic sheet 12 is improved, and the risk of the elastic sheet 12 being broken from the main shell 10 is reduced.

[0035] Specifically, the massage assembly 20 includes a driving motor 21, a transmission assembly 22 and two massage heads 23, the driving motor 21 is in transmission connection with the transmission assembly 22, the transmission assembly 22 is in transmission connection with the two massage heads 23 respectively, the driving motor 21 drives the transmission assembly 22 to operate, and then drives the two massage heads 23 to massage, the transmission assembly 22 can be selected to be a combination of a worm gear and a gear set, so as to gradually transmit the power of the driving motor 21 to the massage heads 23. In order to facilitate installation, the inner side wall of the main shell 10 is symmetrically provided with two avoiding openings 13, the size of the avoiding openings 13 is adapted to the size of the upper end of the massage heads 23, the upper end of the massage heads 23 passes through the avoiding openings 13 and is detachably connected with the output end of the transmission assembly 22, for example, clamped, screwed and the like. The driving motor 21 and the transmission assembly 22 can be modularly arranged as a core, after the core part is installed into the main shell 10, the two massage heads 23 are connected to the core, so that the installation efficiency can be improved. The two massage heads 23 are arranged in an "eight" shape and are inclined, so that the two massage heads 23 can more closely fit the neck of the user during massage, and the two massage heads 23 can be squeezed to the middle during massage, so as to bring a more close-to-hand massage experience to the user. In addition, a plurality of massage protrusions 231 are distributed on the lower end of the massage head 23, different positions of the protrusions can stimulate the muscle groups and acupoints of the neck in multiple points, so as to enhance the massage effect and bring a more rich massage experience to the user.

[0036] Further, the structure of the left clamping arm 30 is the same as that of the right clamping arm 40. Taking the right clamping arm 40 as an example, the right clamping arm 40 comprises a connecting arm 41 and a movable arm 42. The connecting part 31 is located at the upper end of the connecting arm 41 and is connected with the spring 12 on the main shell 10 during installation. The upper end of the movable arm 42 is slidingly inserted into the connecting arm 41, so that the left clamping arm 30 can be elongated or shortened. The movable arm 42 is usually flat and long strip-shaped and has a certain curvature. The material of the movable arm 42 usually has a certain elasticity, which can support the movable arm 42 to bend to a certain extent. In combination with the length adjustment of the movable arm 42, the left clamping arm 30 and the right clamping arm 40 can better adapt to the wearing of different users. In addition, the lower end of the right clamping arm 40 is provided with a supporting soft pad 43. When worn, the supporting soft pads 43 on the left and right sides can form a better fitting state with the neck of the user, which can better fix the wearing of the massage instrument. The supporting soft pad 43 can be filled with soft sponge with good elasticity, which can improve the comfort of wearing and massage.

[0037] Obviously, the above-described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. The preferred embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, but do not limit the patent scope of the present application. The present application can be implemented in many different forms, and the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive. 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 solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or equivalently replace some technical features. Any equivalent structure made by using the content of the specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applied to other related technical fields, is also within the scope of the patent protection of the present application.
