A massage gun is a massage device, having a structure like a pistol. The massage gun includes a transverse housing and a longitudinal handle, and a massage head is arranged at a front end of the housing. The massage head can vibrate back and forth. The massage head is pressed against the muscles to vibrate the muscles to achieve the effect of relaxing the muscles and promoting blood circulation. In order to better meet people's needs for multiple functions, the existing massage gun further needs to have other auxiliary physiotherapy functions in addition to the vibration function, such as cooling and heating and electric shock. A corresponding auxiliary physiotherapy assembly needs to be arranged in the massage head, and a wire and a signal line are led from a main circuit board in the handle into the massage head at a front end of the housing, so as to provide power and control signals.
The applicant found that the prior art has at least the following technical problems:

As shown in
Further, the auxiliary physiotherapy assembly may be a cooling and heating assembly or an electric shock assembly, or the like. The connecting cable 4 includes a power supply cable and a signal cable.
The novel massage gun provided according to the present disclosure is a multifunctional massage gun, which not only has a percussion function, but also has auxiliary physiotherapy functions such as cooling and heating or electric shock; the connecting cable electrically connected to the auxiliary physiotherapy assembly in the massage head is made of a conductive wire resistant to high-speed bending, which solves the problem that the connecting cable breaks easily when the massage gun performs high-speed piston movement; because the connecting cable does not break easily, electrical connection can be maintained, which prolongs the service life of the massage gun, and reduces use costs.
In an optional implementation of the present disclosure, the conductive wire resistant to high-speed bending comprises an outer skin and an inner core, the outer skin is made of an insulating material, and the inner core is made of ultrafine metal fiber filaments.
Further, the insulating material may be a TPEE material.
It should be noted that, in an optional implementation of the present disclosure, the ultrafine metal fiber filament is a stainless steel fiber filament or a silver fiber filament.
It should be noted that there are 6000 fiber filaments in the connecting cable made of the stainless steel fiber filaments having a diameter of 0.96 mm.
A stainless steel fiber is a novel industrial material developed in recent years and pertains to an important field of modern science. The stainless steel fiber is generally made by using special processes such as composite assembly, multiple bundling drawing, annealing, and solution treatment and taking French Yinfei 316L stainless steel, and each strand has thousands or tens of thousands of fiber filaments. The surface area of the stainless steel fiber is very large, so that the stainless steel fiber has extraordinary performance in terms of internal structure, magnetism, thermal resistance, melting point, etc. The stainless steel fiber filament may have a diameter of 1-2 microns, an elongation greater than 1%, and a fiber strength of 1200-1800 Mpa, which even exceeds the tensile strength of the material itself. Because the internal structure, physical and chemical properties, surface properties, etc. of the stainless steel fiber have significant changes during the fiberization process, the stainless steel fiber not only has the advantages of high elasticity modulus, high bending strength and tensile strength, etc. inherent in metal materials, but also has some special properties and a wide range of uses of non-stainless steel fibers. Compared with organic and inorganic fibers, the stainless steel fiber has higher elasticity, flexibility (the softness of the stainless steel fiber with a diameter of 8 μm is equivalent to that of a hemp fiber with a diameter of 13 μm), flexibility, adhesiveness (when appropriate surface treatment is performed, the fiber has good performance of jointing to other materials, which is suitable for any kind of composite material), wear resistance, high temperature resistance (in an oxidizing environment, the material can be used continuously at 600° C.), corrosion resistance (resistance to HNO3, alkali and organic solvent corrosion), better ventilation, electrical conductivity, magnetic permeability, thermal conductivity, self-lubricating and sintering properties. In addition, the unique environmental friendliness and reusability of the stainless steel fiber greatly increase its use value in social production and life. Composites composed of the stainless steel fiber as the base material have been widely developed and utilized in the electronics, chemical, machinery, military, textile, food, medicine and other industries, opening up broad application prospects.
As shown in
Because the connecting cable 4 is made of ultrafine stainless steel fiber filaments and the ultrafine stainless steel fiber wire cannot be welded, in order to implement connection, the auxiliary connecting part 5 is used, one end of the auxiliary connecting part 5 is riveted to the connecting cable 4, and the other end thereof is welded to the auxiliary physiotherapy assembly.
The auxiliary connecting part is used, and with the aid of processes such as riveting, the connecting cable can be welded to the aviation plug female connector, thereby solving the problem that the connecting cable cannot be welded when made of ultrafine stainless steel fiber filaments.
Further, the auxiliary connecting part 5 is made of a copper material, or certainly, may be made of other conductive materials such as aluminum and iron, which is not limited to the auxiliary connecting part 5 made of copper.

The stainless steel fiber filament is wound on the wire bridge structure 6, and then two ends thereof extend into the handle 11 and the housing 12 respectively; and the winding at the wire bridge structure 6 is flexibly wound, which avoids a dead point of a rigid connection wire and acts as a fulcrum.
Further, the wire bridge structure 6 is provided with an upper threading hole and a lower threading hole formed in the side wall of the handle 11, and a fixed support beam is formed between the two threading holes. The connecting cable 4 passes through one threading hole and then penetrates the other threading hole around the fixed support beam, and then passes through the first threading hole to implement winding, fixation and supporting of the connecting cable 4. When the connecting cable 4 at this position is wound, a flexible winding method may be adopted, that is, the contact area between the connecting cable 4 and the fixed support beam is as small as possible. In order to ensure the flexible winding at the position as much as possible, the specifications of the two threading holes are greater than the diameter of the connecting cable 4, and the specification of one of the threading holes is much greater than the diameter of the connecting cable 4 to leave an enough space for cable routing.
In an optional implementation of the present disclosure, the auxiliary physiotherapy assembly includes a physiotherapy module 7, a physiotherapy control circuit board 8, and an aviation plug male connector 9 which are sequentially electrically connected, an aviation plug female connector 121 detachably and electrically connected to the aviation plug male connector 9 is arranged in the housing 12, and the auxiliary connecting part 5 is welded to the aviation plug female connector 121.
