[0002] This application relates to the field of massage equipment, and more particularly to a massage device. Background Technology

[0003] In modern life, people use computers and mobile phones more and more frequently, which causes problems such as hand discomfort and joint pain, such as mouse hand and keyboard hand. At the same time, with the improvement of living standards, people are paying more and more attention to health preservation, and various massage devices have emerged.

[0004] Although various hand massage devices exist on the market, most of them use vibration to massage. However, in many cases, these devices can only massage the wrist and cannot massage the fingers. This forces users to rely solely on manual finger massage, limiting the device's applicability and resulting in a poor user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and design a massage device with different massage methods, capable of massaging areas such as the arms and fingers of the human body.

[0015] The side of the massage cylinder away from the massage element is engaged with the inner wall of the outer casing.

[0016] The massage element and the massage cylinder are hollow and interconnected, together forming a receiving space for accommodating the area to be massaged.

[0017] Driven by the first driving mechanism, the connecting part drives the massage cylinder and the massage component to move relative to the outer shell, and massages the area to be massaged within the accommodating space.

[0018] Alternatively, one end of the first driving mechanism is connected to the side wall of the massage cover, and under the drive of the first driving mechanism, the massage component drives the massage cylinder to massage the area to be massaged.

[0019] In one embodiment, the first drive mechanism is connected to the connecting part and drives the connecting part to perform linear and / or curved movements relative to the outer shell. The linear movements include at least one of forward and backward extension, left and right swing, and up and down movements. The curved movements include rotational movements, and the massage element and the massage cylinder are driven to move synchronously.

[0020] In one embodiment, the first drive mechanism is connected to the side wall of the massage cover near the connecting portion; alternatively, the first drive mechanism is connected to the side wall of the massage cover away from the connecting portion.

[0021] The first driving mechanism drives the side wall of the massage cover to perform linear and / or curved movements relative to the outer shell. The linear movements include at least one of forward and backward extension, left and right swing, and up and down movements. The curved movements include rotational movements, and the massage cylinder is driven to move synchronously.

[0022] In one embodiment, a limiting member is fixedly installed inside the housing, and one end of the limiting member is connected to the receiving portion, so that the receiving portion can perform linear or rotational motion under the drive of the first driving mechanism.

[0023] In one embodiment, the limiting portion includes a guide bar or a ring, the guide bar being installed inside the housing, the end of the first driving mechanism being connected to the guide bar, and the first driving mechanism driving the receiving portion to move linearly along the length direction of the guide bar.

[0024] The ring is installed inside the outer shell. The ring has an arc-shaped limiting groove recessed on it. A guide rod is slidably inserted into the limiting groove. The guide rod is connected to the first driving mechanism and the receiving part. The first driving mechanism drives the receiving part to rotate around the limiting groove.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first drive mechanism includes a first motor, a connecting shaft, and a connecting rod.

[0026] The first motor is housed within the housing, and one end of it is connected to the connecting shaft.

[0053] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0054] The specific embodiments of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 19.

[0055] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the present invention provides a massage device 100, which can generate various massage effects such as vibration, swinging and stretching movements, and can simultaneously massage the arm and other parts waiting to be massaged.

[0056] Referring to Figures 3 to 5, the massage device 100 includes a housing 10, a battery 80, a control board 90, a first massage component 105, and a second massage component 107. The battery 80 and the control board 90 are installed inside the housing 10, and the first massage component 105 and the second massage component 107 are arranged side by side inside the housing 10 and connected to the battery 80 and the control board 90.

[0057] The first massage component 105 includes a first drive mechanism 20 and a receiving portion 40. The second massage component 107 includes a second drive mechanism 30 and a massage portion 60. The outer casing 10 is hollow, forming a receiving space 101 for accommodating the battery 80, control panel 90, first drive mechanism 20, second drive mechanism 30, massage portion 60, and receiving portion 40. The first drive mechanism 20 and receiving portion 40 are connected, and the second drive mechanism 30 and massage portion 60 are connected. The receiving portion 40 and massage portion 60 are arranged side-by-side on the same straight line and together form an insertion space 50 for inserting the arm into the area awaiting massage. An insertion hole 51 communicating with the insertion space 50 is formed on the side of the massage portion 60 away from the receiving portion 40. After the arm enters the insertion space 50 through the insertion hole 51, under the control of the battery 80 and control panel 90, the first drive mechanism 20 drives the receiving portion 40 to move relative to the outer casing 10 to massage the fingers, and the second drive mechanism 30 drives the massage portion 60 to slide relative to the outer casing 10 to massage the wrist.

[0058] Understandably, the first drive mechanism 20 and the second drive mechanism 30 can also together form a drive device. The two ends of the drive device are respectively connected to the receiving part 40 and the massage part 60, one end of which is the output end. The power of the output end is transmitted to the other end through the transmission component. Thus, one drive device realizes the power transmission of two different paths, saving the installation space of multiple motors, and the two massage parts can move simultaneously under the control of one power supply.

[0059] The outer casing 10 includes a first casing 11, a second casing 13, and a protective casing 111. The first casing 11 extends from one end of the second casing 13, that is, the first casing 11 and the second casing 13 are arranged side by side along an imaginary line (parallel to the X-axis), and the bottoms of the first casing 11 and the second casing 13 are interconnected to form a receiving space 101. The portion of the receiving space 101 near the first casing 11 is used to receive part of the first drive mechanism 20, and the portion of the receiving space 101 near the second casing 13 is used to receive the battery 80, the control board 90, the second drive mechanism 30, and the massage part 60.

[0060] Referring to Figure 4, the top of the first housing 11 has a through-hole 110, which communicates with the receiving space 101. The first drive mechanism 20 is connected to one end of the receiving part 40 through the through-hole 110 and drives the receiving part 40 to move around a fulcrum. The interior of the second housing 13 has a through-hole 130, the first end of which is connected to the end of the through-hole 110, thereby communicating with the through-hole 110, the receiving space 101, and the through-hole 130. The other end of the through-hole 130 is covered by a cover 19. The cover 19 is detachably installed on the side of the second housing 13 away from the first housing 11. The cover 19 has an opening 191, which is coaxial with and communicates with the through-hole 130, the fixing hole 153, and the insertion hole 51.

[0061] Referring to Figure 5, a first fixing shell 15 is fixedly installed on the first housing 11 at the opening 110 and the first end. The first fixing shell 15 is L-shaped and seals the opening 110 and the first end. At the same time, a through hole 151 is provided near the first driving mechanism 20 so that part of the first driving mechanism 20 can pass through the through hole 151 and connect with the receiving part 40. The first fixing shell 15 also has a fixing hole 153 near the first end. The receiving part 40 passes through the fixing hole 153 and is fixed at one end to the end of the fixing hole 153. The fixing hole 153 and the insertion hole 51 are interconnected. A second fixing shell 17 is connected side by side to the side of the first fixing shell 15 near the second housing 13. The second fixing shell 17 is located inside the second housing 13. It is cylindrical and hollow inside to enclose the massage part 60.

[0062] The top of the second housing 13 is also equipped with a switch 91. In this embodiment, there are two switches 91, one of which is used to start the first drive mechanism 20 and the other is used to start the second drive mechanism 30.

[0063] The protective shell 111 is detachably mounted on the second shell 13 and houses the first shell 11, so that the receiving part 40 is housed inside the protective shell 111, thereby protecting the receiving part 40 from dust contamination under the protection of the protective shell 111. It is understood that the protective shell 111 can also be fixedly connected to the second shell 13 to form an outer shell, so that when massage is needed, it can be inserted into the area to be massaged through the insertion hole 51.

[0064] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, the first drive mechanism 20 is partially housed within the receiving space 101 of the first housing 11, and another portion protrudes from the through hole 151 and connects to the receiving portion 40. The first drive mechanism 20 includes a first motor 21, a first connecting shaft 23, and a connecting rod 25. The first motor 21 is located within the receiving space 101, and one end is fixedly connected to the center of the connecting shaft 23. The connecting shaft 23 is located within the receiving space 101, and its other end is eccentrically connected to the connecting rod 25. One end of the connecting rod 25 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 23, and the other end is bent and extended towards the through hole 151, passing through the through hole 151 and inserting into the receiving portion 40. Thus, under the drive of the first drive mechanism 20, the connecting rod 25 moves up and down along the Y-axis, and the receiving portion 40 moves synchronously under the drive of the connecting rod 25, massaging the area of ​​the arm awaiting massage.

[0065] Referring to Figure 5, a protective sleeve 251 is fitted on the part of the connecting rod 25 that passes through the through hole 151. The protective sleeve 251 is made of silicone material and forms a layered pleated shape to achieve a waterproof effect.

[0066] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, one end of the receiving portion 40 is fixed to the fixing hole 153 of the first fixing shell 15, and the other end extends along the X-axis direction and is connected to the end of the connecting rod 25. The receiving portion 40 includes an integrally connected connecting portion 41, a massage member 43, and a massage cylinder 45. The massage member 43 and the massage cylinder 45 are hollow inside, forming a receiving space 401 for accommodating the arm area awaiting massage. In this embodiment, the receiving space 401 is part of the insertion space 50, and the receiving portion 43 is entirely made of a soft material with high elasticity.

[0067] Referring to Figures 5 to 7, the connecting part 41 is hemispherical and has an overall closed structure. The end of the connecting rod 25 away from the connecting shaft 23 passes through the through hole 151 and is inserted into the connecting part 41, thereby causing the connecting part 41 to move up and down around the end point of the connecting rod 25, which in turn causes the massage component 43 and the massage cylinder 45 to perform massage movements. The connecting part 41 is made of silicone material.

[0068] Referring to Figures 3 and 7, the massage element 43 is located between the massage cylinder 45 and the connecting portion 41. It is hollow inside, with one end closed by the connecting portion 41 and the other end connected to the massage cylinder 45. A first opening 431 is provided at the end of the massage element 43 near the massage cylinder 45. The massage element 43 is generally funnel-shaped, with its cross-sectional area gradually increasing from the side near the connecting portion 41 to the side away from the connecting portion 41. Multiple protrusions protrude from the inner wall of the massage element 43, allowing them to contact the area to be massaged, such as the arm, further massaging the muscles in the arm. The massage element 43 and the protrusions are made of a soft material.

[0069] The massage element 43 is covered with a massage cover 433. The massage cover 433 has low elasticity, such as a hard plastic shell. The massage cover 433 supports the outer surface of the massage element 43, so that the part to be massaged can be stably placed inside the massage element 43. Then, under the drive of the connecting rod 25, the connecting part 41 causes the massage element 43 to receive a high massage intensity. The part to be massaged, such as the fingers, receives a strong massage force. The massage cylinder 45 is driven by the massage element 43 to move synchronously.

[0070] The massage cylinder 45 is cylindrical, with one end connected to the massage element 43 and the other end snapped into the inner wall of the fixing hole 153. Both ends of the massage cylinder 45 are provided with a second opening 451. The first opening 431 and the second opening 451 are interconnected and together form a receiving space 401. The part to be massaged enters the receiving space 401 through the fixing hole 153 and the second opening 451 to perform massage.

[0071] The massage cylinder 45 is made of a soft material with high elasticity, and the end of the massage cylinder 45 near the massage component 43 has pleats, which have good elasticity and serve as the main force point of the massage cylinder 45. On the one hand, it moves with the movement of the connecting part 41, and on the other hand, it avoids excessive friction between the massage cylinder 45 and the fixing hole 153 during the movement of the massage cylinder 45, so as to prevent it from detaching from the fixing hole 153.

[0072] In this embodiment, the connecting part 41 is made of silicone material, the massage component 43 is fitted with a massage cover 433, the massage cylinder 45 is a soft structure, and one end of the receiving part 40 is fixedly connected to the second housing 13. The receiving part 40 extends along the length direction (X direction) of the outer shell 10 and is arranged parallel to the first housing 11 at intervals. The other end of the receiving part 40 is connected to the connecting rod 25, so that the other end of the receiving part 40 can only be supported by the connecting rod 25. Therefore, after the arm enters the receiving space 401, it is stably supported in the massage cover 433. The first drive mechanism 20 is activated, and the end of the connecting rod 25 near the connecting shaft 23 moves up and down, while the other end drives the connecting part 41 to move. Since the connecting part 41 is only supported by the connecting rod 25 and is made of elastic material (flexible material), and the connecting rod 25 of the first drive mechanism 20 moves up and down at high frequency, the connecting part 41 causes the massage piece 43 to move irregularly. For example, the massage piece 43 moves up and down while elastically swaying due to inertia, or the massage piece 43 moves left and right while elastically swinging due to inertia, or clockwise or counterclockwise gentle movement, or clockwise or counterclockwise rotational movement, etc., to achieve irregular movement (non-linear movement).

[0073] Specifically, the connecting part 41 drives the massage element 43 and the massage cylinder 45 to move up and down together to massage the area to be massaged. Due to the rigid material of the massage cover 433 and the soft material of the massage cylinder 45, as well as the inertia of the massage force, when the connecting rod 25 continues to move up and down, the connecting part 41 is not only driven by the connecting rod 25, but also by the elastic force of the massage cylinder 45 and the inertial force of the first movement. The connecting part 41 moves in various directions with the end point of the connecting rod 25 as the fulcrum. The directions of movement include linear movement and rotational movement, and the resulting movement effects include, but are not limited to, shaking, vibration, swinging, and rotation. As a result, the finger part is massaged in the directions of shaking, vibration, swinging, and rotation. The massage force received in the massage element 43 is relatively intense, while the massage force received in the massage cylinder 45 is relatively gentle. It is understood that a limiting structure (not shown in the figure) is provided on the connecting part 41. One end of the limiting structure is connected to the first housing 11, and the other end is connected to the connecting part 41, so that the connecting part 41 can only perform regular movements, such as up and down movements, that is, only linear movements.

[0074] Referring to Figure 8, the second massage component 107 includes a first drive mechanism 30 and a massage part 60. Under the action of the second drive mechanism 30, the massage part 60 is driven to slide relative to the second housing 13 along the X-axis direction.

[0075] The second drive mechanism 30 is housed within the second housing 13 (see Figure 6), and includes a second motor 31, an output shaft 311, and a rotating member 33. The output shaft 311 protrudes from the end of the second motor 31. One end of the rotating member 33 is connected to the massage part 60, and the other end is engaged with the output shaft 311 through a meshing structure. The second motor 31 enables the massage part 60 to slide along the X-axis.

[0076] Referring to Figures 9 and 10, specifically, one end of the output shaft 311 is connected to a first gear 65. In this embodiment, the first gear 65 is a bevel gear. A fixing post 70 is also installed on one side of the first gear 65, wherein the fixing post 70 is fixedly installed inside the second housing 13 and is arranged perpendicular to the first gear 65. A second gear 67 and a third gear 69 are wound around the outer periphery of the fixing post 70 along the Y direction and arranged side by side and rotatably mounted. The second gear 67 and the third gear 69 are concentrically connected, so that when the second gear 67 rotates, it will drive the third gear 69 to rotate synchronously. In this embodiment, the third meshing member 69 is a cylindrical gear, and the second meshing member 67 is also a bevel gear. The tooth profiles of the second meshing member 67 and the first meshing member 65 are adapted to each other, that is, the first meshing member 65 and the second meshing member 67 are meshed and connected. Thus, under the action of the second motor 31, the output shaft 311 drives the first meshing member 65 to rotate. The first meshing member 65 drives the second meshing member 67 to rotate through the meshing relationship. At the same time, during the rotation of the second meshing member 67, the third meshing member 69, which is connected to the second meshing member 67, rotates together.

[0077] Inside the second housing 13, a mounting post 71 is also installed on one side of the fixing post 70. The mounting post 71 is rotatably connected to the second housing 13, and a fourth meshing member 711 is also connected to the outer periphery of the mounting post 71 at the same horizontal plane as the third meshing member 69. When the fourth meshing member 711 rotates, it can synchronously drive the mounting post 71 to rotate. In this embodiment, the fourth meshing member 711 is a cylindrical gear, and the tooth profile of the fourth meshing member 711 is adapted to the third meshing member 69, that is, the third meshing member 69 and the fourth meshing member 711 are meshed and connected. When the third meshing member 69 rotates, it can synchronously drive the fourth meshing member 711 to rotate, and then drive the mounting post 71 to rotate. One end of the mounting post 71 is connected to a rotating member 33. When the mounting post 71 rotates, it drives the rotating member 33 to drive the massage part 60 to slide back and forth along the X-axis direction.

[0078] Specifically, driven by the second motor 31, the output shaft 311 drives the first gear 65 to start rotating. The second gear 67, which is meshed with the first gear 65, also rotates. Driven by the second gear 67, the third gear 69 connected to the end of the second gear 67 also rotates synchronously. The fourth gear 711 meshes with the third gear 69 and also rotates. The fourth gear 711 is connected to the mounting post 71. When the fourth gear 711 rotates, the mounting post 71 also rotates synchronously. A rotating member 33 is also installed on the mounting post 71. When the mounting post 71 rotates, the rotating member 33 also rotates, thereby providing driving force for the sliding movement of the massage part 60.

[0079] Referring to Figure 10, the massage unit 60 is installed inside the second housing 13, and includes a sliding rod 61 and a massage sleeve 63 slidably disposed on the sliding rod 61. The sliding rod 61 extends along the X direction and is fixedly connected at one end to the inner side wall of the cover 19, and at the other end to the end of the massage cylinder 45 (see Figure 3). An eccentric rod 331 protrudes eccentrically from the end of the rotating member 33 near the massage sleeve 63. The eccentric rod 331 is slidably connected to the bottom of the massage sleeve 63, and the massage sleeve 63 is movably mounted on the sliding rod 61, such that under the drive of the second motor 31 and the rotation of the rotating member 33, the massage sleeve 63 is configured such that the rotation of the rotating member 33 is converted into a linear telescopic motion along the length direction (X direction) of the sliding rod 61.

[0080] Specifically, the massage sleeve 63 is located inside the second fixed shell 17, and includes a receiving portion 631 and a connector 633. In this embodiment, the receiving portion 631 has a cylindrical structure, and its hollow interior forms a partial insertion space 50, specifically defined as a massage space 601. The connector 633 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the middle part of the receiving portion 631, and the receiving portion 631 is made of a soft rubber material with low hardness. At least one protrusion 635 protrudes from the inner wall of the massage space 601 of the receiving portion 631. In this embodiment, multiple protrusions 635 protrude along the inner wall of the massage sleeve 63 to contact the area to be massaged, thereby further enhancing the massage effect. The massage space 601 in the receiving portion 631 communicates with the channel 130 of the second shell 13 and the opening 191 of the cover 19 (see Figure 4). At the same time, the side of the massage space 601 away from the receiving space 401 corresponds to the insertion hole 51 (see Figure 6), that is, the massage space 601, the insertion hole 51, and the channel 130 are connected and located in a straight line.

[0081] Similarly, a vibrating part is installed on the inner wall of the receiving part 631. The vibrating part is at least one vibrating motor, which further enhances the massage effect.

[0082] Referring to Figure 6, further, the receiving portion 631 of the massage sleeve 63 and the massage cylinder 45 and massage member 43 of the receiving portion 40 are on the same horizontal plane. The entry path of the part to be massaged is to enter the massage space 601 through the opening 191 of the cover 19 in sequence, and reach the receiving space 401 through the second opening 451.

[0083] Referring to Figure 10, the connector 633 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the receiving part 631 and slidably connected to the sliding rod 61. Driven by the second motor 31, the connector 633 slides along the sliding rod 61, and the receiving part 631 reciprocates along the X-axis inside the second housing 13.

[0084] A hollow mounting shaft 637 protrudes from the outer periphery of the connector 633 and extends from it, slidably mounting the connector 633 to the sliding rod 61, thereby slidably connecting the connector 633 to the sliding rod 61. A groove 6331 protrudes from the bottom of the connector 633 near the eccentric rod 331, forming a strip-shaped groove extending in a direction perpendicular to the length of the sliding rod 61, i.e., in the Z direction. The eccentric rod 331 extends into the slide groove 6331 and is fixed relative to the connector 633 in the Y direction. At the same time, the eccentric rod 331 slides along the slide groove 6331 of the connector 633 in the Z direction. As a result, when the second motor 31 rotates, the output shaft 311 drives the rotating component 33 to rotate. The eccentric rod 331 on the rotating component 33 moves along the slide groove 6331 in the Z direction and drives the connector 633 to slide in the sliding rod 61, thereby realizing the second motor 31 driving the massage part 60 to reciprocate in the X direction.

[0085] When using the massage device 100, the part to be massaged extends through the opening 191 of the cover 19, passes through the channel 130 of the second housing 13, enters the massage space 601, passes through the second opening 451, and enters the receiving space 401. Pressing one of the on / off switches 91 activates the first drive mechanism 20. The first motor 21 drives the first connecting shaft 23 to rotate, and the connecting rod 25 moves up and down under the drive of the connecting shaft 23. The connecting part 41 drives the massage piece 43 and the massage cylinder 45 to move in a curved motion with the end point of the connecting rod 25 as the fulcrum, making irregular massage movements such as swinging, vibration, rotation, and gentle kneading. Pressing the other on / off switch 91 activates the second motor 31, and the output shaft 311 rotates. Through the meshing structure, it drives the rotating piece 33 to slide in the slide groove 6331, so that the connecting piece 633 is driven to slide on the sliding rod 61, and the part to be massaged receives the massage effect of the sliding movement.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 20 and the second drive mechanism 30 operate independently. Therefore, if only a sliding massage is needed on the area to be massaged, the area to be massaged only needs to enter through the opening 191 and pass through the channel 130 into the massage space 601. If a massage direction such as swinging or vibrating motion is required on the area to be massaged, the area to be massaged needs to enter through the opening 191 (insertion hole 51) into the channel 130, pass through the massage space 601 and the second opening 451, and enter the bottom of the receiving space 401.

[0087] Example 2

[0088] Referring to Figure 11, the difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that the specific structure of the first driving mechanism 20 is different.

[0089] Specifically, the first drive mechanism 20 includes a first motor 21, a first output shaft 211, and a transmission assembly 22. One end of the transmission assembly 22 is connected to the center of the connecting part 41, and the other end is connected to the first motor 21 through the first output shaft 211. Thus, the first motor 21 drives the first output shaft 211 to move, and at the same time, the first output shaft 211 drives the transmission assembly 22 to move. The transmission assembly 22 drives the connecting part 41 to swing along the Z-axis.

[0090] One end of the first output shaft 211 is fixed to the center of the first motor 21, and the other end is fixedly connected to the center of the transmission assembly 22. The transmission assembly 22 includes a transmission member 221, an eccentric portion 223, a fixing portion 225, and a fixing rod 227. One side of the fixing portion 225 is recessed inward to form a groove, and the other side is fixedly connected to the center of the connecting portion 41. One end of the transmission member 221 is connected to the center of the first output shaft 211, and the other end is eccentrically mounted with the eccentric portion 223. The eccentric portion 223 is located in the groove of the fixing portion 225, and the fixing rod 227 is rotatably inserted into the side of the fixing portion 225 away from the groove and fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the protective shell 111. The two sidewalls of the groove of the fixing portion 225 are V-shaped. In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 22 can also be other structures, such as a gear structure, a turbine structure, a rocker structure, etc.

[0091] When the first motor 21 is working, the first output shaft 211 drives the transmission component 221 to rotate synchronously. The transmission component 221 drives the eccentric part 223 to reciprocate along the Z-axis direction within the groove, striking the side wall of the groove. The two ends of the fixing rod 227 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 111. Under the drive of the eccentric part 223, the fixing part 225 rotates relative to the fixing rod 227, while simultaneously driving the connecting part 41 to swing in the left-right direction (Z-axis direction). Thus, the connecting part 41 swings violently relative to the protective shell 111 along the Z-axis direction. The massage component 43 and the massage cylinder 45 are driven to swing synchronously. Since there are folds between the massage component 43 and the massage cylinder 45, and both the massage cylinder 45 and the connecting part 41 are made of soft materials, the connecting part 41, while driving the massage component 43 and the massage cylinder 45 to swing along the Z-axis direction, will also gently swing along the X and Y axes.

[0092] Alternatively, the transmission component 221 in the first drive mechanism 20 drives the eccentric part 223 to reciprocate along the Y-axis within the groove, striking the sidewall of the groove, thereby causing the connecting part 41 to swing back and forth relative to the protective shell 111 in the vertical direction (Y-axis direction). Similarly, the massage component 43 and the massage cylinder 45 can also be driven to swing up and down, while moving slightly along the X-axis and Z-axis directions.

[0093] Alternatively, the transmission component 221 in the first drive mechanism 20 drives the eccentric part 223 to reciprocate along the X-axis direction within the groove, striking the side wall of the groove, thereby causing the connecting part 41 to reciprocate and extend relative to the protective shell 111 in the front-back direction (X-axis direction). Similarly, the massage component 43 and the massage cylinder 45 can also be driven to reciprocate and extend back and forth, while moving slightly along the Y-axis and Z-axis directions.

[0094] Referring to Figure 12, the first drive mechanism 20 includes a first motor 21, a first output shaft 211, a first rotating wheel 23, and a first eccentric portion 25. The first output shaft 211 is connected to the center of the first motor 21, and the first rotating wheel 23 is mounted at the center of the other end of the first output shaft 211. One end of the first eccentric portion 25 is eccentrically mounted on the side of the first rotating wheel 23 opposite to the first output shaft 211, and the other end is inserted into the center of the connecting portion 41 to form a fixed fulcrum. Driven by the first motor 21, the first output shaft 211 drives the first rotating wheel 23 to rotate synchronously, the first rotating wheel 23 drives the connecting portion 41 to rotate synchronously around the first eccentric portion 25, and the massage element 43 and the massage cylinder 45 are also driven to rotate synchronously. Because the first motor 21 rotates at high frequency and the connecting portion 41 has no limiting structure, the massage element 43 and the massage cylinder 45 will also sway and swing in different directions during rotation.

[0095] Understandably, the first drive mechanism 20 can also be other structures, as long as it can drive the connecting part 41 to move along the X-axis, Y-axis or Z-axis or rotate around a fixed fulcrum.

[0096] Example 3

[0097] The difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 1 is that a limiting part 1110 is installed inside the massage device 100 to restrict the connecting part 41 from moving in a straight line within the limiting part 1110.

[0098] Referring to Figure 13, specifically, the limiting part 1110 is located on the side wall of the protective shell 111 near the connecting part 41. The limiting part 1110 includes two guide bars 1110 extending along the Y direction, and the distance between the two guide bars 1110 is the width of the connecting part 41. The guide bar 1110 is positioned along the X-axis to engage with the end of the connecting rod 25 of the first drive mechanism 20. That is, the connecting rod 25 of the first drive mechanism 20 is engaged within the two guide bars 1110, and the middle part of the connecting part 41 is connected to the connecting rod 25. Thus, under the drive of the connecting rod 25, the connecting rod 25 slides along the extension direction (Y-axis direction, up and down direction) of the guide bar 1110. At the same time, it drives the massage piece 43 and the massage cylinder 45 to shake up and down. Due to the high-frequency motion of the first drive mechanism 20 and the elastic material and inertial force of the massage piece 43 and the massage cylinder 45, the massage piece 43 and the massage cylinder 45 will also be driven to move gently in the X-axis and Z-axis directions in sync.

[0099] Alternatively, the limiting part 1110 can be installed in the receiving space 101 within the first housing 11 and formed at both ends of the connecting rod 25 of the first drive mechanism 20. Under the drive of the limiting part 1110, the connecting rod 25 moves linearly along the Y-axis direction, and drives the connecting part 41 to rotate along the Y-axis direction. The massage member 43 and the massage cylinder 45 are driven to move synchronously.

[0100] Referring to Figure 14, the limiting part 1110 can also protrude from the inner wall of the protective shell 111 and correspond to the position of the connecting part 41, located on the same horizontal plane as the connecting part 41. The limiting part 1110 is a ring, and a circular limiting groove 1110a is provided on the ring. A guide rod 1113 is engaged on the limiting groove 1110a. The guide rod 1113 extends along the X-axis direction, passes through the end of the connecting rod 25 away from the connecting shaft 23, and is inserted into the center of the connecting part 41. Driven by the first motor 21, one end of the connecting rod 25 is driven to move up and down (in the Y-axis direction), causing the guide rod 1113 to rotate around the limiting groove 1110a. As a result, the connecting part 41 reciprocates around the guide rod 1113, and the massage piece 43 and the massage cylinder 45 are driven to rotate synchronously. At the same time, under the action of elastic force and inertia, the massage piece 43 and the massage cylinder 45 will also make similar circular swaying movements in different directions.

[0101] It is understandable that the limiting part 1110 can also be other structures, as long as it can drive the connecting part to move along a certain straight line or curve.

[0102] Example 4

[0103] The difference between this embodiment 4 and embodiment 1 is that the position of the first driving mechanism 20 is different, and it is eccentrically connected to the connecting part 41.

[0104] Referring to Figure 15, specifically, the first drive mechanism 20 is fixedly housed within the protective shell 111 and is arranged along the X-axis. The first drive mechanism 20 includes a first motor 21, a first output shaft 23, a cam 25, and an eccentric portion 27. One end of the first output shaft 23 is connected to the first motor 21 at its center, and the other end is connected to one side of the cam 25. The eccentric portion 27 is eccentrically connected to the other side of the cam 25, and the eccentric portion 27 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the center of the connecting portion 41. Driven by the first motor 21, the first output shaft 23 drives the cam 25 to rotate, and the cam 25 drives the connecting portion 41 to reciprocate around the connection point between the cam 25 and the connecting portion 25. Under the drive of the connecting portion 41, the massage piece 43 and the massage cylinder 45 reciprocate synchronously, and due to elasticity and inertia, the massage piece and the massage cylinder 45 also move in different directions, performing a quasi-circular motion.

[0105] Example 5

[0106] The difference between this embodiment 5 and embodiment 1 is that the connecting rod 25 is connected to the end of the massage cover 433 that is away from the connecting part 41.

[0107] Referring to Figure 16, under the drive of the first motor 21, the connecting shaft 23 drives the connecting rod 25 to move up and down along the Y-axis. The massage cover 433 is driven up and down by the connecting rod 25, so the massage component 43 is driven up and down synchronously. At the same time, the massage cylinder 45 is driven to move synchronously. Since the massage cylinder 45 has a certain elasticity and inertial force, the overall movement direction of the massage cylinder 45 is irregular, specifically including swinging, vibrating, shaking, rotating and other movements in different directions.

[0108] Example 6

[0109] Referring to Figure 17, the difference between this embodiment 6 and embodiment 1 is that the connecting rod 25 is connected to one end of the massage cover 433 near the connecting part 41, and the two ends of the connecting rod 25 in the first drive mechanism 20 are equipped with limiting members 251, and the connecting rod 252 moves along the extension direction (Y-axis direction) of the limiting member 251.

[0110] The limiting member 251 is fixed to the bottom of the first housing 11. In this embodiment, the limiting member 25 is a guide rod that extends along the Y-axis. Driven by the first motor 21, the connecting rod 25 moves up and down along the guide rod in the Y-axis direction, thereby causing the end of the massage cover 433 to move up and down. At the same time, the end of the massage cylinder 45 near the massage cylinder 43 is moved up and down synchronously. Since the massage cylinder 45 itself has elastic force and is subjected to inertial force during movement, the massage cylinder 45 will also make a quasi-circular motion in other directions.

[0111] Referring to Figure 18, the limiting member 251 can be installed on the inner wall of the protective shell 111. The limiting member 251 corresponds to the position of the connecting part 41 and is located on the same horizontal plane as the connecting part 41. The limiting member 251 is a ring structure, and a circular limiting groove 251a is formed on the ring structure. A guide rod 252 is engaged on the limiting groove 251a. The guide rod 252 extends along the X-axis and passes through the end of the connecting rod 25 away from the connecting shaft 23 and is inserted into one side of the massage cover 43. Driven by the first motor 21, one end of the connecting rod 25 is driven to move up and down (in the Y-axis direction), causing the guide rod 252 to rotate around the limiting groove 251a. As a result, the massage cover 43 is driven by the guide rod 252 to rotate back and forth. The massage cylinder 45 is driven to rotate synchronously. At the same time, under the action of elastic force and inertia, the massage cylinder 45 will also make small swaying motions in different directions, similar to a circumferential motion.

[0112] Example 7

[0113] The difference between this embodiment 7 and embodiment 6 is that the specific structure of the first driving mechanism 20 is different.

[0114] In this embodiment, the specific structure of the first driving mechanism 20 is similar to that of embodiment 2. Both can drive the massage cover 433 to swing or rotate along the X-axis, Y-axis or Z-axis, and simultaneously drive the massage cylinder 45 to move.

[0115] Example 8

[0116] The difference between this embodiment 8 and embodiment 1 is that the connecting rod 25 is connected to one end of the massage cover 433 near the connecting part 41, and the structure of the first drive mechanism 20 is different.

[0117] Referring to Figure 19, the first drive mechanism 20 includes a first motor 21, a first output shaft 23, a cam 25, a disk 27, and a protruding rod 29. One end of the first output shaft 23 is connected to the first motor 21, and the other end is connected to one end of the cam 25. The other end of the cam 25 is located at the center of the disk 27, and the protruding rod 29 is connected to the side of the disk 27 away from the cam 25. The protruding rod 29 is connected to one side of the massage cover 433.

[0118] The first motor 21 drives the first output shaft 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the cam 25 to move synchronously. The cam 25 then drives the disc 27 to rotate back and forth. Simultaneously, the protruding rod 29 drives the massage cover 433 to rotate synchronously. The massage cylinder 45 is driven to rotate synchronously. Due to the elasticity of the massage cylinder 45 itself and the inertia generated during the movement, the massage cylinder 45 moves in other directions while rotating, generating forces similar to vibration, shaking, and oscillation.

[0119] Example 9

[0120] The difference between this embodiment 9 and embodiment 1 is that the elasticity of the receiving part 40 is different.

[0121] Specifically, the protective shell 111 is made of a first material with low elasticity, such as hard plastic, the protective sleeve 251 is made of a third material with low elasticity, such as silicone, the receiving part 40 is formed entirely of a second material, and the elasticity of the second material is between that of the first and third materials. Meanwhile, the massage piece 43 is not covered by a massage shell 433. Based on this, the connecting part 41 is driven to move synchronously by the connecting rod 25, and the connecting part 41 drives the massage cylinder 45 and the massage piece 43 to move together. Since the force point of the receiving part 40 is the connecting part 41 located at the end, and the receiving part 40 is composed of a second material with moderate elasticity, the connecting part 41, driven by the connecting rod 25, moves in a quasi-circular motion around the end of the connecting rod 25 away from the connecting shaft 23 in various directions, generating forces such as shaking, vibration, rotation, and oscillation. The massage cylinder 45 and the massage piece 43 move synchronously in the same direction under the drive of the connecting part 41. However, the massage piece 43 and the massage cylinder 45 have relatively low elasticity, so the overall movement amplitude of the massage piece 43 and the massage cylinder 45 is small, and the massage intensity is relatively gentle.

[0122] The scope of this invention is not limited to the foregoing, but is defined by the claims. Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope. Thus, all modifications that do not depart from the scope and limits of the claims, as well as content equivalent to the scope and limits of the claims, are included within the scope of the claims.
