[0053] With the popularization and promotion of health knowledge and the increasing emphasis on awareness, massage devices with massage and acupoint stimulation functions have appeared on the market. Using these massage devices can indeed have certain effects on relaxing muscles and bones and relieving tension.

[0054] In related technologies, massage devices are exemplarily massage sticks, which vary in size. In mini massage sticks, due to limited space, the massage stick only has a vibration function, and the area for stimulating acupoints is small, and the acupoint stimulation function cannot achieve the expected effect.

[0055] This disclosure proposes a massage device 100.

[0056] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, Figure 1 is a three-dimensional partial structural diagram of the massage device 100 provided in the embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 2 is an exploded structural diagram of the massage device 100 provided in the embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 3 is an exploded structural diagram of the massage mechanism 3 of the massage device 100 provided in the embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the drive and electronic control assembly structure of the massage device 100 provided in the embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 5 is an axial cross-sectional structural diagram of the massage device 100 in the closed state provided in the embodiment of this disclosure; Figure 6 is an enlarged structural diagram of part Q in the embodiment of Figure 5; and Figure 7 is a motion diagram of the massage mechanism provided in the embodiment of this disclosure.

[0057] In this embodiment, the massage device 100 includes a housing 1 and a massage mechanism 3, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The housing 1 has a cavity 10A, and the massage mechanism 3 is disposed within the cavity 10A. The massage mechanism 3 includes an upper rotating structure 30 and a lower rotating structure 50 that are rotatably connected. When the upper rotating structure 30 rotates relative to the lower rotating structure 50, the axial direction of the upper rotating structure 30 is set at an angle to the axial direction of the lower rotating structure 50.

[0058] The massage device 100 provided in this embodiment includes a housing 1 with a cavity 10A and a massage mechanism 3 disposed within the cavity 10A. The massage mechanism 3 includes an upper rotating structure 30 and a lower rotating structure 50 rotatably connected. When the lower rotating structure 50 rotates relative to the upper rotating structure 30, the axial direction of the upper rotating structure 30 is set at an angle to the axial direction of the lower rotating structure 50, so as to expand the contact area of ​​the massage mechanism 3 to stimulate acupoints during use, increase the stimulation area, enhance the stimulation effect, and improve massage comfort.

[0059] It is understood that the massage device 100 has an operating state and an off state. In the operating state, the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50 of the massage mechanism 3 are set at an angle; in the off state, the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50 of the massage mechanism 3 can be set in a straight line or at an angle.

[0060] The axial direction of the upper rotating structure 30 of the massage mechanism 3 is defined as the Z-axis, the rotation axis of the lower rotating structure 50 relative to the upper rotating structure 30 at an angle is defined as the X-axis, and the directions perpendicular to the Z-axis and X-axis are defined as the Y-axis. The intersection of the three axes X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis is the origin O point, and the three axes together with the origin O point form a spatial rectangular coordinate system O-XYZ. The following description of each embodiment uses this coordinate system as the orientation standard.

[0061] Optionally, the upper rotating structure 30 drives the lower rotating structure 50 to rotate around a first direction, the first direction being parallel to the axial direction of the upper rotating structure 30.

[0062] In this embodiment, the upper rotating structure 30 drives the lower rotating structure 50 to rotate around a first direction, and the upper rotating structure 30 also drives the lower rotating structure 50 to rotate around its axial direction. The axial direction of the upper rotating structure 30 is the Z-axis direction, that is, the first direction is parallel to the Z-axis. When the lower rotating structure 50 is driven to rotate, it is set at an angle to the upper rotating structure 30, so as to increase the contact area between the lower rotating structure 50 and the inner wall of the cavity 10A of the housing 1 within one rotation cycle, thereby increasing the massage contact area between the massage device 100 and the human body in the working state, thereby increasing the stimulation area, enhancing the stimulation effect, and improving the massage comfort.

[0063] It is understandable that the lower rotating structure 50 can drive the upper rotating structure 30 to rotate, so as to realize the rotational massage function of the massage mechanism 3. The lower rotating structure 50 can also rotate relative to the upper rotating structure 30, so that the axis of the upper rotating structure 30 and the axis of the lower rotating structure 50 are set at an angle, so as to change the massage contact area and massage contact position between the lower rotating structure and the human body when the massage mechanism 3 is in working state.

[0064] Optionally, the lower rotating structure 50 is rotatably connected to the upper rotating structure 30 about the second direction, and the second direction is arranged to intersect the axis of the upper rotating structure 30 so that the lower rotating structure 50 and the upper rotating structure 30 are arranged at an angle in a plane perpendicular to the second direction.

[0065] In this embodiment, the axial direction of the upper rotating structure 30 is the Z-axis. The upper rotating structure 30 drives the lower rotating mechanism to rotate along the Z-axis. This is the process by which the upper rotating structure 30 drives the lower rotating structure 50 to rotate continuously when the massage mechanism 3 is working. During this process, the lower rotating structure 50 drives the upper rotating structure 30 to rotate around its axial direction (Z-axis) to massage the human body. Regarding the angled arrangement between the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50, the lower rotating structure 50 rotates relative to the upper rotating structure 30 in a second direction, so that the axial direction of the lower rotating structure 50 deflects and intersects with the axial direction of the upper rotating structure 30.

[0066] The way the lower rotating structure 50 and the upper rotating structure 30 rotate relative to each other to achieve the change of the included angle can be either a one-time rotation to set a fixed included angle, or the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50 can dynamically rotate during the driving process of the lower rotating structure 50 to dynamically change the included angle, thereby achieving dynamic changes in the massage position and improving the massage comfort effect.

[0067] Optionally, the lower rotating structure 50 and the upper rotating structure 30 rotate relative to each other at an angle. This angle causes the lower rotating structure 50 to be offset relative to the Z-axis direction, meaning the lower rotating structure 50 has an offset angle with the Z-axis. This offset angle can range from 0° to 90° (inclusive). A 0° offset angle means the axes of the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50 are coaxial, and a 90° offset angle means the axes of the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50 are perpendicular. Preferably, this offset angle is any value between 15° and 60°. More preferably, it can be any value among 20°, 25°, 30°, 35°, 40°, and 45° to change the relative angle between the lower rotating structure 50 and the upper rotating structure 30.

[0068] It is understandable that the second direction is the direction of the rotation axis that forms an angle between the lower rotating structure 50 and the upper rotating structure 30. When the massage device 100 is stationary and not in operation, the rotation axis that forms an angle between the lower rotating structure 50 and the upper rotating structure 30 is parallel to the X-axis direction, that is, the second direction is parallel to the X-axis direction. However, when the upper rotating structure 30 drives the lower rotating structure 50 to rotate, the rotation axis that forms an angle between the lower rotating structure 50 and the upper rotating structure 30 is parallel to the O-XY plane.

[0069] Referring to Figures 3 to 5, optionally, the upper rotating structure 30 includes an upper rotating member 31 and a first driving member 32. The upper rotating member 31 is provided with a first cavity 30A having an opening. The first driving member 32 is disposed in the first cavity 30A, and the output shaft of the first driving member 32 is connected to the lower rotating structure 50.

[0070] In this embodiment, the upper rotating structure 30 includes an upper rotating member 31 and a first driving member 32. The upper rotating member 31 has a first cavity 30A inside. The end of the first cavity 30A facing the lower rotating member 51 has an opening that connects to the first cavity 30A. The first cavity 30A is configured to accommodate the first driving member 32. The inner wall of the first cavity 30A spatially limits the first driving member 32, so that the first driving member 32 is stationary relative to the upper rotating member 31. The output shaft of the first driving member 32 is connected to the lower rotating structure 50, so that the output shaft is driven by the first driving member 32 to drive the lower rotating structure 50 to rotate around the Z-axis, thereby realizing the massage function of the massage device 100.

[0071] Optionally, the inner wall of the first cavity 30A is formed with a slotting chamber 30B that has a communicating opening. One end of the first driving member 32 is locked in the slotting chamber 30B, and the other end passes through the opening to connect to the upper rotating structure 30.

[0072] In this embodiment, the outer wall of the first driving member 32 is provided with a locking surface 32A, and the first cavity 30A is provided with a locking chamber 30B corresponding to the locking surface 32A of the first driving member 32. The groove wall of the locking chamber 30B is engaged and aligned with the locking surface 32A of the outer wall of the first driving member 32, so that the first driving member 32 cannot rotate relative to the upper rotating member 31 around the Z-axis, thereby improving the assembly stability of the first driving member 32 in the upper rotating member 31, and also improving the stability and reliability of the first driving member 32 driving the lower rotating member 51 to rotate around the Z-axis.

[0073] Optionally, the upper rotating structure 30 also includes a linkage seat 33, which is rotatably inserted through the opening; one end of the linkage seat 33 is connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 32, and the other end is provided with a rotating shaft 331, which is rotatably connected to the lower rotating structure 50, and the rotation direction of the two is perpendicular to the axial direction of the upper rotating structure 30.

[0074] In this embodiment, the linkage seat 33 is connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 32. The first driving member 32 drives the output shaft to output a rotational action. The output shaft drives the linkage seat 33 to rotate around the Z-axis relative to the upper rotating member 31. The lower rotating member 51 is connected to the linkage seat 33 and rotates around the Z-axis under the drive of the linkage seat 33. Based on this, the lower rotating member 51 is rotatably connected to the linkage seat 33. When the lower rotating member 51 and the upper rotating member 31 are relatively stationary around the Z-axis, the lower rotating member 51 can be rotatably connected to the linkage seat 33 around the X-axis.

[0075] One end of the linkage seat 33 is connected to the output shaft of the first driving member 32, so that the linkage seat 33 rotates relative to the upper rotating member 31 under the rotation output of the output shaft. The other end of the linkage seat 33 extends out of the opening of the first cavity 30A, and the axial direction of the upper rotating structure 30 is parallel to the Z-axis direction. A rotating shaft 331 is provided on the linkage seat 33, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 331 is parallel to the X-axis direction. The lower rotating member 51 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 331 and rotates relative to it around the axial direction of the rotating shaft 331, so that the upper rotating member 31 and the lower rotating member 51 are set at an angle.

[0076] Optionally, the linkage seat 33 includes a seat body and a rotating shaft 331. The seat body is rotatably disposed at the opening. One end of the seat body extends out of the first cavity 30A and is rotatably connected to the upper rotating member 31. The other end extends out of the first cavity 30A and the opening and extends toward the lower rotating member 51. One end of the seat body extends from the other end along the Z-axis direction. The rotating shaft 331 is located at the end of the seat body away from the upper rotating member 31. The rotating shaft 331 is detachably connected to the seat body of the linkage seat 33.

[0077] Optionally, the linkage seat 33 is provided with a groove 331B on the radial outer periphery, and the edge of the opening is engaged in the groove 331B. The rotating shaft 331 is located at the end of the linkage seat 33 that extends out of the opening.

[0078] In this embodiment, the slot 331B is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the seat body of the linkage seat 33. The slot 331B is an annular groove, which is parallel to the O-XY plane. The annular groove engages with the edge of the upper rotating member 31 at the opening, so that the linkage seat 33 can rotate relative to the upper rotating member 31 through the annular groove. The rotation axis of the linkage seat 33 is set parallel to the Z-axis.

[0079] Referring to Figure 6, the rotating shaft 331 is located at one end of the extended opening of the linkage seat 33. This end of the linkage seat 33 has a linkage hole 331A, which can be a slotted hole or a non-standard hole. For example, it can be a cross hole, a star-shaped hole, or other hole type that can relatively limit the relative positioning of the rotating shaft 331 and the linkage seat 33 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 331. One end of the rotating shaft 331 has a non-standard shaft connection portion, which is detachably installed in the linkage hole 331A, or the non-standard shaft connection portion is interference-fitted into the linkage hole 331A, to limit and fix the seat body and the rotating shaft 331 along the X-axis direction. This allows the lower rotating member 51 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 331 while simultaneously rotating relative to the upper rotating member 31, so that the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50 are set at an angle.

[0080] It should be noted that during assembly, the rotating shaft 331 can be first sleeved onto the lower rotating part 51, and then fixed to the seat of the linkage seat 33; alternatively, the rotating shaft 331 can be first connected to the seat of the linkage seat 33, and then connected to the lower rotating part 51 of the lower rotating structure 50.

[0081] Optionally, the rotating shaft 331 is a rotary damping shaft, which includes an inner shaft, an outer shaft, and a damping element disposed between the two. The inner shaft is connected to the first driving element 32, and the outer shaft is connected to the lower rotating structure 50.

[0082] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 331 can be detachably fixed to the seat of the linkage seat 33, and the rotational connection between the rotating shaft 331 and the lower rotating component 51 can be manually operated. The rotating shaft 331 is a rotational damping shaft, comprising an inner shaft, an outer shaft, and a damping component disposed between them. The inner shaft is connected to the first driving component 32, and the outer shaft is connected to the lower rotating structure 50. The damping component provides resistance to the relative rotation between the inner and outer shafts, thus requiring a certain driving force for the relative rotation of the rotating shaft 331 and the lower rotating component 51, preventing arbitrary rotation and making the rotation angle of the massage mechanism 3 controllable.

[0083] Optionally, a first gear 332 is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 331, and a second gear 522 is provided in the lower rotating structure 50. The first gear 332 and the second gear 522 mesh and drive each other.

[0084] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 331 can first be sleeved onto the lower rotating component 51, and then detachably fixed to the seat of the linkage seat 33. The rotational connection between the rotating shaft 331 and the lower rotating component 51 can be manually operated or driven by a motor. One end of the rotating shaft 331 is detachably fixed to the linkage seat 33 and is stationary relative to the linkage seat 33. The other end of the rotating shaft 331 is provided with a first gear 332, and the lower rotating structure 50 is provided with a second gear 522. The first gear 332 and the second gear 522 mesh to improve the reliability of the rotational meshing between the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50, and at the same time provide friction and directional constraints on the rotation. When the massage mechanism 3 moves, it provides a certain strength support for the relative angle between the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50 to prevent the angle from changing due to contact.

[0085] Optionally, one end of the rotating shaft 331 is provided with a positioning groove 332A, which is shown in conjunction with FIG6; the lower rotating structure 50 is provided with a positioning shaft 55, one end of which is rotatably inserted into the positioning groove 332A, and the other end is movably abutted against the outer end face of the groove opening of the positioning groove 332A.

[0086] In this embodiment, one end of the rotating shaft 331 is provided with a positioning groove 332A and is detachably fixed to the linkage seat 33 and is stationary relative to the linkage seat 33. The other end of the rotating shaft 331 is provided with a first gear 332. The middle part of the first gear 332 is provided with a positioning groove 332A extending along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 331. The lower rotating structure 50 is provided with a positioning shaft 55 corresponding to the positioning groove 332A. The positioning shaft 55 is stationary relative to the lower rotating structure 50, and the rotating shaft 331 rotates relative to the positioning shaft 55 when the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50 need to rotate at an angle. One end of the positioning shaft 55 is rotatably inserted into the positioning groove 332A and is configured to connect the lower rotating structure 50 and the rotating shaft 331 in pairs. When the upper rotating structure 30 drives the lower rotating structure 50 to rotate through the first driving member 32, the positioning shaft 55 can synchronously rotate relative to the upper rotating structure 30 around the Z-axis with the lower rotating structure 50, thereby improving the stability of the rotation of the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50 around the Z-axis.

[0087] Optionally, the lower rotating structure 50 includes a lower rotating member 51 and a follower seat 53. The lower rotating member 51 is provided with a second cavity 50A having a through opening, and one end of the follower seat 53 passes through the through opening. The upper rotating structure 30 drives the follower seat 53 to rotate the lower rotating structure 50 around a first direction, and the other end of the follower seat 53 is rotatably connected to the upper rotating structure 30 along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are arranged intersectingly.

[0088] In this embodiment, the lower rotating structure 50 includes a lower rotating member 51 and a follower seat 53. The lower rotating member 51 is directly opposite to and spaced apart from the upper rotating member 31. One end of the lower rotating member 51 facing the upper rotating member 31 is provided with a second cavity 50A having a through-hole, which is directly opposite to the opening of the upper rotating member 31. One end of the follower seat 53 passes through the through-hole and extends into the second cavity 50A, so that the follower seat 53 and the lower rotating member 51 are relatively stationary.

[0089] The first direction and the second direction are intersected. The first direction is the Z-axis direction and the second direction is the X-axis direction. The other end of the follower seat 53 away from the second cavity 50A is rotatably connected to the upper rotating structure 30 along the second direction so that the follower seat 53 and the linkage seat 33 can rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 331 in the O-YZ plane perpendicular to the X-axis, so that the lower rotating member 51 deviates from the axis of the upper rotating member 31 and presents an angle between the upper rotating member 31 and the lower rotating member 51.

[0090] Optionally, the follower seat 53 has a follower hole at one end extending from the second cavity 50A. It is rotatably inserted into the follower hole. Along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 331, the follower seat 53 is located between the linkage seat 33 and the first gear 332. Under the drive of an external force, the follower seat 53 can rotate relative to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating shaft 331, so that the lower rotating member 51 and the upper rotating member 31 rotate at an angle. This changes the axial direction of the lower rotating member 51 so that it deviates from the axial direction of the upper rotating member 31 and forms an angle, thereby changing the rotation stimulation area of ​​the lower rotating structure 50 when the upper rotating structure 30 drives the lower rotating structure 50 to rotate, and improving the massage stimulation effect.

[0091] It is understandable that the relative rotation of the lower rotating structure 50 and the upper rotating structure 30 is achieved by manually bending the upper rotating structure 30 or the lower rotating structure 50 so that the two are set at an angle. The relative rotation of the lower rotating structure 50 and the upper rotating structure 30 at an angle can also be driven by a motor.

[0092] Optionally, the lower rotating structure 50 further includes a second driving member 52, which is disposed in the second cavity 50A. The output shaft of the second driving member 52 is connected to the upper rotating structure 30, and the second driving member 52 drives the upper rotating structure 30 to rotate relative to the lower rotating member 51, so as to change the angle between the axial direction of the upper rotating structure 30 and the axial direction of the lower rotating structure 50.

[0093] In this embodiment, the rotation of the lower rotating structure 50 relative to the upper rotating structure 30 at an angle is driven by a motor. The lower rotating structure 50 includes a lower rotating member 51, a follower seat 53, and a second driving member 52. The lower rotating structure 50 is connected to the linkage seat 33 and the first driving member 32 through the follower seat 53 and the rotating shaft 331. The first driving member 32 is relatively fixed in the second cavity 50A, and the second driving member 52 is relatively fixed in the second cavity 50A. A second gear 522 is provided on the drive shaft 521 of the second driving member 52, and a first gear 332 is provided on the rotating shaft 331 corresponding to the second gear 522. The cooperation between the drive shaft 521 and the second gear 522 is shown in Figures 5 and 6. The rotation axis of the second gear 522 is parallel to the axial direction of the lower rotating member 51, and the rotation axis of the first gear 332 is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 331. The relative rotation of the first gear 332 and the second gear 522 changes the angle between the axial direction of the lower rotating member 51 and the axial direction of the upper rotating member 31, so that the lower rotating member 51 and the upper rotating member 31 are set at an angle, thereby changing the rotation stimulation area of ​​the lower rotating member 51.

[0094] It is understandable that the lower rotating part 51 and the upper rotating part 31 are set at an angle in the working state. This angle can be rotated to a certain fixed angle, or it can be dynamically changed during the rotation process. This dynamic change of the angle can be achieved by the second driving part 52 driving the relative rotation of the rotating shaft 331 to drive the synchronous rotation of the linkage seat 33.

[0095] Optionally, referring to FIG7, both the upper rotating structure 30 and the lower rotating structure 50 can be configured for contact stimulation. When the upper rotating structure 30 is held and fixed, the lower rotating structure 50 rotates relative to perform massage stimulation. When the lower rotating structure 50 is held and fixed, the upper rotating structure 30 rotates relative to perform massage stimulation. Here, the structure for performing massage stimulation is not limited to a single one.

[0096] Optionally, the inner wall of the second cavity 50A is formed with a limiting chamber 50B that communicates with the opening. One end of the follower seat 53 is engaged and limited in the limiting chamber 50B, and the other end passes through the opening and connects to the upper rotating structure 30.

[0097] In this embodiment, the follower seat 53 has a cylindrical structure. The structure of the follower seat 53 extending into the second cavity 50A is provided with a non-cylindrical fixing part. The second cavity 50A is provided with a limiting chamber 50B corresponding to the fixing part of the follower seat 53. The groove wall of the limiting chamber 50B is engaged with the outer wall of the fixing part, so that the follower seat 53 cannot rotate relative to the lower rotating member 51 around the Z-axis. The first driving member 32 drives the linkage seat 33 to be connected through the rotating shaft 331 and drive the follower seat 53 to rotate around the Z-axis, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the lower rotating member 51 rotating relative to the upper rotating member 31 around the Z-axis.

[0098] Optionally, the inner wall of the second cavity 50A is formed with a positioning chamber 50C that communicates with the opening. The second drive member 52 is located within the positioning chamber 50C, and the output shaft of the second drive member 52 passes through the opening and rotates with the upper rotating structure 30.

[0099] In this embodiment, the second driving member 52 is disposed in the second cavity 50A. The inner wall of the second cavity 50A is formed with a positioning chamber 50C that communicates with the opening. The second driving member 52 is confined within the positioning chamber 50C, so that the second driving member 52 is relatively stationary relative to the lower rotating member 51. That is, under the driving action of the first driving member 32, the second driving member 52 and the lower rotating member 51 move synchronously.

[0100] Optionally, the positioning chamber 50C and the limiting chamber 50B can be set relatively independently or relatively connected within the second cavity 50A. The second driving member 52 and the follower seat 53 are set relatively stationary and both are limited to the second cavity 50A, so as to be driven synchronously by the first driving member 32 along with the lower rotating member 51.

[0101] Optionally, both the first drive component 32 and the second drive component 52 are small servo motors, which can be integrated with the upper rotating component 31 and the lower rotating component 51 respectively, thereby making the structure of the massage mechanism 3 compact. The miniature servo motor is exemplarily a miniature N30 gearbox motor. The first drive component 32 and the second drive component 52 can be the same type of motor or different types of motors, configured as needed.

[0102] Optionally, the massage device 100 further includes an electronic control mechanism 60 housed within the lower rotating structure 50. The electronic control mechanism 60 includes a main control board 61, a control key 62, and a power supply 63. One end of the control key 62 is electrically connected to the main control board 61, and the other end of the control key 62 extends out of the lower rotating structure 50 and abuts against the housing 1. The power supply 63 is electrically connected to the main control board 61.

[0103] In this embodiment, the electronic control mechanism 60 can be separately housed within the cavity 10A or integrated with the massage mechanism 3, optimizing the space occupied by the structure and making the mini massage device 100 smaller. The electronic control mechanism 60 includes a power supply 63, a main control board 61, and control keys 62. The main control board 61, the first drive component 32, and the second drive component 52 are electrically connected to the power supply 63, and the first drive component 32 and the second drive component 52 are electrically connected and signal-connected to the main control board 61. The main control board 61 controls the operation of the first drive component 32 and the second drive component 52 to drive the massage mechanism 3 to perform a massage operation that rotates between different areas.

[0104] The main control board 61 is also equipped with a switch latch, and the massage mechanism 3 is equipped with a control key 62 corresponding to the switch latch. The housing 1 is also equipped with a switch position 12 corresponding to the position of the control key 62, so as to facilitate quick identification of the pressing position of the control key 62 and perform on / off operation. The switch latch is electrically or signal connected to the main control board 61. The main control board 61 controls the power supply 63 to power on or off the drive mechanism according to the feedback signal of the switch latch.

[0105] Optionally, the control panel may be equipped with a Bluetooth connection module and / or a remote control connection module, which can be wirelessly connected to the massage mechanism 3 for wireless remote control, or for terminal PP operation control after wireless Bluetooth connection.

[0106] Optionally, when the electronic control mechanism 60 is integrated with the lower rotating structure 50, the lower rotating component 51 has an electronic control compartment 50E configured to accommodate the electronic control mechanism 60. The electronic control compartment 50E is connected to the second cavity 50A for wiring. The lower rotating component 51 also has a pressing hole 50D communicating with the electronic control compartment 50E.

[0107] Optionally, the housing 1 is made of a flexible material, and the middle section of the housing 1 is provided as a corrugated section 11.

[0108] In this embodiment, the massage device 100 provided by this disclosure can be used for ordinary adult products as well as miniature adult products, especially those that are small in size, lightweight, and easy to carry. The shell 1 is made of flexible silicone. The flexible silicone shell 1 is elastic, non-toxic, and harmless, and will not cause harm to the human body upon contact. The angled rotation of the drive device and the massage mechanism 3 can provide rotational massage stimulation functions in different areas, so as to continuously stimulate acupoints in different areas and achieve a better physiological massage effect.

[0109] The massage mechanism 3 is stationary relative to the housing 1. The housing 1 includes stationary sections at both ends, a rotating section, and a pleated section 11 in the middle. The stationary sections are relatively stationary and are configured to accommodate the upward rotating structure 30. The rotating sections are the parts of the housing 1 that are driven to twist by the massage mechanism 3 and are configured to accommodate the downward rotating structure 50. The pleated section 11 is an elastic pleated area configured to buffer the torsion of the housing 1 when the downward rotating component 51 is driven to rotate by the upward rotating structure 30, thereby improving the torsional flexibility of the housing 1. At the same time, the pleated section 11 can adapt to different angle changes.

[0110] Optionally, the massage device 100 also includes a vibrator disposed within the cavity 10A and connected to the upper rotating structure 30 and / or the lower rotating structure 50.

[0111] In this embodiment, the vibrator can be installed separately in the cavity 10A of the housing 1, or integrated into the upper rotating component 31 or within the rotating component, or simultaneously installed in both the upper rotating component 31 and the lower rotating component 51. The vibrator is electrically connected to the power supply 63 and also electrically or via signal to the control board.

The heater is electrically connected to the power supply 63, and also electrically or via signal connection to the control board. The moving parts, under the action of the heater, generate a heating effect, raising the overall temperature of the massage mechanism 3, reducing the temperature difference with the human body, and enhancing the stimulation effect on the massage acupoints in conjunction with the vibrator, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0114] Optionally, the massage device 100 also includes a traction member 20, which is detachably connected to the housing 1 and the massage mechanism 3, and the traction member 20 is made of a flexible material.
