DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

It should be noted that embodiments in the present disclosure and features in the embodiments may be combined with one another without conflict. The preferred embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a peristaltic device 100. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the peristaltic device 100 includes a driving motor 10, a sliding seat 20, and a peristaltic assembly 30. The driving motor 10 includes a main body 11 and a driving rod 12 rotatably connected to the main body 11. The sliding seat 20 is sleeved on the driving rod 12. The peristaltic assembly 30 includes a transmission rod 31, a mounting base 32, and a peristaltic sheet group 33. The mounting base 32 is mounted on a side of the sliding seat 20 facing away from the main body 11. The transmission rod 31 has one end connected to an end of the driving rod 12 away from the main body 11 and the other end passing through the mounting base 32. The peristaltic sheet group 33 is arranged on a side of the mounting base 32 facing away from the sliding seat 20 and is movable on the mounting base along a first direction (as shown in an X direction in FIG. 1). The peristaltic sheet group 33 is provided with a connecting portion 331, and the connecting portion 331 is inserted into and is connected between two ends of the transmission rod 31. The driving rod 12 is capable of rotating relative to the main body 11, such that the sliding seat 20 drives the peristaltic assembly 30 to move in the first direction, and the transmission rod 31 rotates and drives the peristaltic sheet group 33 to wriggle. The present disclosure can solve the problem that the peristaltic device 100 in the prior art has a single function; and the peristaltic device 100 can perform telescopic motion in a peristaltic process, thereby further enhancing the massage effect and promoting user experience.

Specifically, the main body 11 of the driving motor 10 can drive the driving rod 12 to rotate, then the driving rod 12 drives the transmission rod 31 to rotate. The transmission rod 31 and the connecting portion 331 implement transmission cooperation to enable the peristaltic sheet group 33 to wriggle. Moreover, the driving rod 12 is sleeved with the sliding seat 20, and the rotational motion of the driving rod 12 can be converted into reciprocating motion of the sliding seat 20 in the first direction. The mounting base 32 is mounted on the sliding seat 20, the sliding seat 20 can drive the mounting base 32 to move during movement, and then the peristaltic sheet group 33 on the mounting base 32 is driven to perform telescopic motion relative to the transmission rod 31, such that the telescopic motion can also be implemented in the peristaltic process. Therefore, the present invention has richer functions and can allow users to experience more diverse massage modes, thereby meeting the needs and preferences of different users, achieving better massage effects and having better competitiveness.

In the present disclosure, there are many ways to connect the driving rod 12 and the sliding seat 20. In an embodiment, the driving rod 12 is a screw (not shown in the drawings), a threaded hole (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the sliding seat 20, and the threaded hole is threadedly connected to the screw. In another embodiment, a spiral sliding groove (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the driving rod 12, and a driving member (not shown in the drawings) matching the sliding groove is provided on the sliding seat 20. With such arrangements, the spiral sliding groove can enable the sliding seat 20 to move a longer distance with the same number of rotations, thereby shortening the round trip time of the sliding seat 20 during linear motion, accelerating the movement speed, increasing the telescopic frequency, and thus enhancing the massage effect.

With reference to FIG. 3, furthermore, the sliding seat 20 includes a plurality of first guide columns 21 and a seat body 22. The seat body 22 is sleeved on the driving rod 12. The plurality of first guide columns 21 are arranged around the driving rod 12, and the first guide columns 21 are mounted on the main body 11 and extend in the first direction. The seat body 22 is slidably connected to the plurality of first guide columns 21. With such arrangements, the first guide columns 21 can provide support and guidance for the seat body 22, such that the seat body 22 achieves better stability during linear motion, and movement deviation and swing are avoided, thereby making the movement of the seat body 22 more stable and smooth, and improving the performance of the peristaltic device 100.

In more specific embodiments, the sliding seat 20 further includes a fixed seat 23. The fixed seat 23 is connected to ends of the plurality of first guide columns 21 away from the main body 11, and the driving rod 12 passes through the fixed seat 23. Thus, both ends of the plurality of first guide columns 21 are respectively connected to the main body 11 and the fixed seat 23, not only improving the connection stability of each first guide column 21, but also enhancing overall structural strength, and promoting the reliability of the peristaltic device 100.

With reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in an embodiment, the transmission rod 31 is spiral. The mounting base 32 includes two second guide columns 321, and the second guide columns 321 extend in the first direction. The peristaltic sheet group 33 includes a plurality of peristaltic sheets 332 arranged in the first direction. Each peristaltic sheet 332 includes a center hole 332a and two limiting holes 332b respectively located on two sides of the center hole 332a, and the center holes 332a of the plurality of peristaltic sheets 332 jointly define a connecting portion 331. The transmission rod 31 sequentially passes through the center holes 332a, and abuts against walls of the center holes 332a. The two limiting holes 332b of each peristaltic sheet 332 are respectively sleeved on the corresponding second guide columns 321. With such arrangements, the rotation of the transmission rod 31 can drive the plurality of peristaltic sheets 332 to wriggle, and thus the structural design is simple and reasonable.

Specifically, the center holes 332a and the limiting holes 332b are all strip-shaped holes, and the extension direction of the center holes 332a is perpendicular to the extension direction of the limiting holes 332b. The limiting holes 332b cooperate with the second guide columns 321 to limit the movement of the peristaltic sheets 332, such that the peristaltic sheets 332 can only move in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The center holes 332a abut against a corresponding part in contact with the spiral transmission rod 31, and the peristaltic sheets 332 move relative to the limiting holes 332b. The transmission rod 31 is spiral and can enable the plurality of adjacent peristaltic sheets 332 to be staggered from each other in the direction perpendicular to the first direction in the rotating process, thereby finally achieving a peristaltic motion effect.

With reference to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in an embodiment, the mounting base 32 further includes a lower blocking cover 322 and an upper blocking cover 323. The lower blocking cover 322 is connected to the sliding seat 20, the second guide columns 321 are disposed between the lower blocking cover 322 and the upper blocking cover 323 to define a limiting space, and the limiting space is configured to mount the peristaltic sheet group 33 in a limiting manner. With such arrangements, the lower blocking cover 322 and the upper blocking cover 323 can limit the plurality of peristaltic sheets 332 in the limiting space, thereby keeping a spacing between the adjacent peristaltic sheets 332, avoiding a larger gap between the adjacent peristaltic sheets 332 in the moving process, improving the peristaltic effect, and making the peristaltic process more coherent and real.

With reference to FIG. 6, in an embodiment, spacers 332c are provided on the peristaltic sheets 332, and each spacer 332c is located between two adjacent peristaltic sheets 332. With such arrangements, the spacers 332c can reduce the contact area between the adjacent peristaltic sheets 332, thereby reducing a friction force caused by relative motion of the adjacent peristaltic sheets 332, and avoiding the jamming of the plurality of peristaltic sheets 332 in the peristaltic process.

With reference to FIG. 8, in an embodiment, the mounting base 32 further includes a plurality of connecting rod 324, and the sliding seat 20 is connected to the lower blocking cover 322 through the connecting rods 324. Specifically, the plurality of connecting rods 324 are arranged around the driving rod 12.

Still referring to FIG. 8, in an embodiment, the peristaltic device 100 further includes a plurality of massage balls 50. The sliding seat 20 includes a peripheral wall pointing to the driving rod 12. A plurality of fixing grooves 24 are provided on the peripheral wall, and the plurality of fixing grooves 24 are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the driving rod 12. The massage balls 50 are rotatably connected to walls of the fixing grooves 24 and are partially exposed outside the fixing grooves 24. With such arrangements, the massage balls 50 can provide a massage touch in the reciprocating motion of the sliding seat 20, thereby further increasing the massage function of the peristaltic device 100, and enriching user experience.

Specifically, in the reciprocating motion of the sliding seat 20, the massage balls 50 generate a friction force when being in contact with the outside, and roll relative to the fixing grooves 24. The rolling of the massage balls 50 can simulate the massage effect of human body massage, which can more directly relieve body fatigue, relax muscles, and improve the comfort of massage.

With reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 4, in an embodiment, the peristaltic device 100 further includes a vibrator 40. The vibrator 40 is connected to the mounting base 32, and the vibrator 40 is located on a side of the peristaltic sheet group 33 facing away from the mounting base 32. With such arrangements, the vibrator 40 can enhance the overall massage effect. Vibration can help relax muscles, promote blood circulation, and improve the comfort of massage. Furthermore, by adding the vibrator 40, different massage mode options can be provided for users. The users can adjust the vibration intensity and frequency according to their needs and preferences for a more personalized massage experience.

Specifically, an annular flange 323b is provided on the upper blocking cover 323, and the vibrator 40 is mounted in the annular flange 323b to improve the connection stability.

With reference to FIG. 7, in an embodiment, a rotating hole 323a is further provided on the upper blocking cover 323, and the other end of the transmission rod 31 is rotatably connected into the rotating hole 323a. With such arrangements, the rotating stability of the transmission rod 31 can be improved, and the reliability of the peristaltic device 100 is improved during use.

With reference to FIG. 9, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a massager 1000. The massager 1000 includes the peristaltic device 100 described in each above embodiment, and a soft casing 200. The soft casing 200 is sleeved outside the peristaltic device 100.
