The present disclosure relates to the technical field of health care equipment, and in particular to a massage module and a massage device.
There are various massage devices aimed at the human body in the market. Typically, these massage devices can achieve massage by squeezing and vibrating on parts of the human body, and can be adjustable in strength of massage by changing their frequencies, thereby achieving the purpose of relaxing the human body.
The vibration frequencies of current massage devices are typically adjusted by adjusting motor speeds such that the strength of massage is varied. Such massage devices mostly rely on frequency adjustment to achieve the effect of changing the strength of massage. However, massaging only by means of vibration may easily cause a person to feel numb in the contact part and may easily make the person nervous, thereby being not conducive to enhancing the massage experience.

Compared with the prior art, the massage module and the massage device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure has the following beneficial effects: the rotary driving assembly is in transmission connection with the linear motion assembly such that the power generated by the rotary driving assembly can be transmitted to the linear motion assembly, causing the linear motion assembly to reciprocate linearly. The telescopic transmission component is connected to the linear motion assembly. The telescopic transmission component includes the connecting rod and the plurality of circular truncated cones disposed on the connecting rod.

In this way, it is avoided that the contact part has the feeling of numbness as easily caused by massaging only by means of vibration. Instead, massaging in the form of expanding outwards is performed. The form of massage is changed, which is conducive to enhancing the massage experience.

It should be noted that the embodiments in the present disclosure and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other in a non-conflicting situation. Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
In particular, the housing 110 mainly plays a role in protecting internal assemblies and also provides a mounting foundation for other assemblies. There are a plurality of cambered support walls 142 disposed surrounding an outer ring of the housing 110 such that the cambered support walls 142 can expand radially to evenly support the outer ring.
The massage module 100 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the rotary driving assembly 120 is in transmission connection with the linear motion assembly 130 such that the power generated by the rotary driving assembly 120 can be transmitted to the linear motion assembly 130, causing the linear motion assembly 130 to reciprocate linearly. The telescopic transmission component 150 is connected to the linear motion assembly 130. The telescopic transmission component 150 includes the connecting rod 152 and the plurality of circular truncated cones 154 disposed on the connecting rod 152. The circular truncated cones 154 are arranged concentrically with the connecting rod 152 and distributed at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting rod 152. Such a structure design allows an acting force to be applied to the tail ends of the guide pillars 144 by the inclined surfaces of the circular truncated cones 154 when the telescopic transmission component 150 is moving linearly, such that the axial reciprocating motion of the telescopic transmission component 150 causes the cambered support wall 142 to expand radially. Meanwhile, the cambered support wall 142 can be restored by an external force. This means that the cambered support wall 142 can be restored to its original position after the externally applied force disappears, so that next massage action can be performed. In this way, it is avoided that the contact part has the feeling of numbness as easily caused by massaging only by means of vibration. Instead, massaging in the form of expanding outwards is performed. The form of massage is changed, which is conducive to enhancing the massage experience.
As shown in
In particular, by means of cooperation of the holder 132, the sliding sleeve 134, and the conduction shaft 136, the rotary motion of the rotary driving assembly 120 can be exactly converted into the axial linear reciprocating motion of the sliding sleeve 134. The sliding sleeve 134 is connected to the telescopic transmission component 150 so as to drive the telescopic transmission component 150 to move synchronously. Such exact motion transmission guarantees that the telescopic transmission component 150 can move in a predetermined manner, thereby realizing accurate radial expansion of the cambered support wall 142 and improving the massage effect and accuracy of the massage module 100. In addition, this structure design of the linear motion assembly 130 makes a layout of the components compact, occupying small space. In limited space within the housing 110, the assemblies can be arranged reasonably such that the space utilization rate of the massage module 100 is increased. Meanwhile, this is also conducive to the miniaturization and portability design of the massage module 100.
In an optional embodiment of the present disclosure, an outer ring of the conduction shaft 136 is provided with a right-handed screw groove and a left-handed screw groove, and two ends of the right-handed screw groove and the left-handed screw groove are correspondingly communicated, respectively. A clamping lug to be clamped with the right-handed screw groove and the left-handed screw groove is disposed on the clamping block 138. The clamping lug is slidable along the right-handed screw groove and the left-handed screw groove.
In particular, the clamping lug to be clamped with the right-handed screw groove and the left-handed screw groove is disposed on the clamping block 138. The clamping lug is slidable along the right-handed screw groove and the left-handed screw groove. When the conduction shaft 136 rotates, the clamping lug slides within the right-handed screw groove and the left-handed screw groove. Due to the right-handed screw groove and the left-handed screw groove having opposite screw directions and being communicated at both ends, the clamping lug will reciprocate axially in the rotation process of the conduction shaft 136, thereby putting the sliding sleeve 134 in axial linear reciprocating motion. The structure of the right-handed screw groove and the left-handed screw groove on the conduction shaft 136 and the clamping lug on the clamping block 138 is relatively simple with low difficulties in manufacturing and machining. Meanwhile, such a structure has high reliability in actual use, thereby reducing the probability of failure occurrence caused by component damage and reducing the maintenance cost. In addition, the above-mentioned arrangement form can achieve the axial reciprocating motion of the sliding sleeve 134 by only requiring the rotary driving assembly 120 to rotate continuously in the same direction, thus making the whole body steadier and more reliable. In the use process, the expanding motion at different frequencies can be achieved only by adjusting the rotating speed of the rotary driving assembly 120. The adaptability of the massage module 100 and the user experience are improved.
As shown in
In particular, the rotating motor 122 is a power source for the whole massage module 100, providing rotary motion. The speed reducer 124 is in transmission connection with the rotating motor 122, and plays a role in reducing the speed of the rotating motor 122 and increasing the torque at the same time to meet the requirement of the linear motion assembly 130 for power. The mounting base 126 is connected to the speed reducer 124, the holder 132 is connected to the mounting base 126, and the output shaft 1242 of the speed reducer 124 is connected to the conduction shaft 136, thereby providing mounting support for the whole linear motion assembly 130, guaranteeing accurate relative position between the components, and enabling effective transmission of the power.
As shown in
In particular, the base 1322 is configured to fix and support the whole holder 132. The sleeve 1324 serves as a track for the sliding sleeve 134 to slide. The design of the outer ring in the shape of the regular polygon and the inner ring of the shape copying structure guarantees that the sliding sleeve 134 only can slide axially on the sleeve 1324, thereby limiting the circumferential rotation of the sliding sleeve 134. In this way, it is advantageous for guaranteeing that the sliding sleeve 134 accurately transmits the motion of the conduction shaft 136 to the telescopic transmission component 150, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of the motion of the massage module 100. In addition, the arrangement form of the holder 132 allows it to have high structural strength and stability. Due to the connection of the base 1322 and the sleeve 1324 and the cooperation of the sleeve 1324 with the sliding sleeve 134, a large external force and a large impact force in the motion process can be borne. The probability of failure occurrence caused by unstable structure is reduced. The service life of the massage module 100 is prolonged.
As shown in
In particular, the design of the first hoop 156 and the second hoop 158 provides a reliable connection manner for the sliding sleeve 134 and the connecting rod 152. By clamping the sliding sleeve 134 between the first hoop 156 and the second hoop 158, it can be ensured that the sliding sleeve 134 does not slide relative to the connecting rod 152 in the motion process, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy and stability of power transmission. In addition, such a hoop-type connection manner is relatively simple and convenient in the mounting and removal processes. The sliding sleeve 134 can be conveniently mounted on or removed from the connecting rod 152 only by engaging or disengaging the first hoop 156 and the second hoop 158. This is convenient for the maintenance and overhaul of the massage module 100.
With continued reference to
In particular, the cooperation of the buckle 1562 and the clamping groove 1582 and the cooperation of the limiting convex edge 159 and the limiting groove 1342 make the connection between the first hoop 156 and the second hoop 158 and the connection between the sliding sleeve 134 and the hoop more secure. In the motion process of the massage module 100, the relative motion between the sliding sleeve 134 and the connecting rod 152 can be effectively prevented, thereby guaranteeing the reliability of power transmission and improving the overall performance of the massage module 100. In addition, the limiting convex edge 159 and the limiting groove 1342 are configured to limit the connecting rod 152 axially, avoiding dislocation or loosing in the motion process. In actual use, the limiting convex edge 159 is a circumferentially interrupted vertical groove. A vertical rib corresponding to the vertical groove is arranged within the limiting groove 1342. When the vertical groove is in clamped fit with the vertical rib, the sliding sleeve 134 can be effectively prevented from circumferentially rotating between the first hoop 156 and the second hoop 158, thereby avoiding inaccurate massage actions or failure occurrence caused by the circumferential rotation of the connecting rod 152.
As shown in
In particular, the housing 110 includes the first shell 112 and the second shell 114 that are engaged with each other. This design is convenient for the manufacturing of the housing 110 and the mounting of internal assemblies. The housing 110 is further wrapped with the flexible protective layer which can provide more comfortable use experience for a user. The flexible protective layer can not only protect the housing 110, but also provide certain buffering and comfort when the cambered support wall 142 expands radially, thereby preventing the user from direct contact with the stiff housing 110. In addition, the flexible protective layer may be made of silicone and has certain resilience itself, which is conducive to causing the cambered support wall 142 to be restored. The cambered support wall 142 may also be restored by relying on a pressing force in the contact position. Meanwhile, the flexible protective layer also guarantees the safety of internal assemblies, reduces the risks of exposure of internal assemblies and failure occurrence, and is also conducive to avoiding external impurities from entering the housing 110 to affect the mutual transmission of internal components.
As shown in
In particular, the clamping piece 116 is disposed within the housing 110. The limiting hole is formed in the clamping piece 116. The connecting rod 152 passes through the limiting hole and then is slidably connected to the clamping piece 116. The clamping piece 116 and the limiting hole play a role in limiting the motion of the connecting rod 152, guaranteeing that the connecting rod 152 can move along a predetermined direction in the motion process and also providing certain support for the connecting rod 152. The reliability of the connecting rod 152 when acting is guaranteed, and the connecting rod 152 is avoided from swaying or deviating in the motion process, thereby guaranteeing the motion accuracy of the cambered support wall 142 and the stability of the massage effect. In addition, with the vibration motor 162, a vibrating massage function can be further provided. The diversified massage functions can meet different massage requirements of the user, thereby improving the applicability of the massage module 100 and the degree of satisfaction of the user. The user can select different massage manners or use a plurality of massage manners simultaneously according to the user's own preference and physical condition.
The present disclosure further provides a massage device including the massage module 100 in the aforesaid embodiments. The massage device includes the same structures and beneficial effects with the massage module 100 in the aforesaid embodiments. The structure and beneficial effects of the massage module 100 have been described in detail in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

For those skilled in the art, the technical solutions described in the above embodiments may be modified or some of the technical features may be replaced equivalently. All such modifications and replacements shall fall within the scope of protection of the appended claims the present disclosure.
