In some embodiments, the rotary masturbation apparatus may also be constructed as a manual device. In this situation, the rotation of the cup body 10 may be realized by manual operation of the user. Compared with the electric device, the manual device is inconvenient in operation, but the rotary motor 32 can be omitted to simplify the structure and reduce the cost.
In order to improve the user experience, the cup body 10 is equipped with functional members 16, such as vibration motor, electric heater, and etc. These functional members 16 are used to provide functions, such as vibration, heating, and etc. The number and type of the functional members 16 may be configured according to the design requirements, and different types of functional members 16, such as vibration motor and electric heater, may be provided at the same time. Alternately, all of the functional members 16 may be the same type, such as all are vibration motors or electric heaters.
In this embodiment, as shown in
The cup holder 30 is equipped with a controller 36, such as a control circuit board. The controller 36 is electrically connected to the functional members 16 through a conductive structure 40, so that the operation of each functional member 16 can be controlled according to the user's instructions. In this embodiment, the controller 36 is also connected to the rotary motor 32 to facilitate the user to control the rotation of the rotary motor 32, and in turn control the rotation of the cup body 10. As shown in
In some embodiments, the controller 36 includes a voice-activated unit, which can control the operation of the functional members 16 and the rotation of the cup body 10 according to user's voice instructions, further improving the convenience in use.
In some embodiments, the cup holder 30 is equipped with a battery 39. The battery 39 is electrically connected to the controller 36, and acts as a power source for supplying electric currents to the rotary motor 32 and the functional members 16. Preferably, the battery 39 is a rechargeable battery, and a corresponding charging port is provided in the outer shell of the cup holder 30 for connecting an external power supply to charge the battery 39.

At least one of the first and second conductive elements 44 is configured as conductive ring. A central axis of the conductive ring is coaxial with the rotation axis of the cup body 10 (i.e., the rotary shaft 34 of the rotary motor 32), so that the second conductive element 44 always keeps in contact with the first conductive element 42 during the rotation of the second conductive element 44 along with the cup body 10 relative to the cup holder 30 and the first conductive element 42, thereby maintaining the electrical connection between the controller 36 and the functional members 16.
The rotary masturbation apparatus of the present application is provided with a conductive structure 40 between the cup body 10 and the cup holder 30. The relative rotation path of the first conductive element 42 and the second conductive element 44 of the conductive structure 40 is a circumferential path, i.e., is the conductive ring. Therefore, the first conductive element 42 and the second conductive element 44 always keeps in contact with each other during relative rotation of them, so that the relative rotation members, such as the functional members 16 in the cup body 10 and the controller 36 in the cup holder 30, are capable of maintaining electrical connection therebetween, which effectively solves the electrical connection problem in the existing rotary masturbation devices caused by wire connection of relative rotation members.
It should be noted that there is no relative movement between the first conductive element 42 and the controller 36 mounted in the cup holder 30, and conventional connection means, such as wire connection, can be used to realize the electrical connection between the controller 36 and the first conductive element 42. Similarly, there is no relative movement between the second conductive element 44 and the functional members 16 mounted in the cup body 10, and the electrical connection therebetween may be realized through wire connection too, which can effectively simplify the structure and reduce the cost.
In this embodiment, the first conductive element 42 is configured as conductive ring, and the second conductive element 44 is configured as conductive pin. The conductive pin 44 is arranged at an axial end of the conductive ring 42, and abuts the conductive ring 42 in the axial direction (as shown in
For each functional member 16, its positive and negative poles should be connected to different conductive pins 44, respectively. That is, the second conductive element 44 includes at least two conductive pins. Accordingly, the first conductive element 42 includes at least two conductive rings. Preferably, the number of conductive rings 42 is the same as that of conductive pins 44, and each of the conductive rings 42 contacts one of the conductive pins 44. As shown in
In this embodiment, two functional members 16 are arranged in the cup body 10, the two positive poles of the two functional members 16 are respectively connected to two conductive pins 44, and the two negative poles of the two functional members 16 are connected to the same conductive pin 44, so the number of the conductive pins 44 is three. Accordingly, the number of conductive rings 42 is three. The positive poles of different functional members 16 are connected to different conductive pins 44/conductive rings 42 respectively, currents of different frequencies may be provided to different functional members 16, respectively. The negative poles of all of the functional members 16 are connected to the same conductive pin 44/conductive ring 42, which simplify the structure and save costs.
According to the above described connection method, the number of conductive pins 44/conductive rings 42 required may be determined according to the number of the functional members 16. If the number of functional members 16 is N, wherein N is an integer greater than zero, the number of the conductive pins 44/conductive rings 42 is N+1.
In some embodiments, different functional members 16 may be provided with the same current. In this situation, the positive poles of all of the functional members 16 may be connected to the same conductive pin 44/conductive ring 42. Therefore, no matter how many functional members 16 are, the number of conductive pins 44 and conductive rings 42 may be two.
In some embodiments, some of the functional members 16 may be provided with the same current, and some of the functional members 16 may be provided with different currents. In this situation, the positive poles of the functional members 16 requiring the same current may be connected to the same conductive pin 44/conductive ring 42, and the positive poles of the functional members 16 requiring different currents may be connected to different conductive pins 44/conductive rings 42, respectively.
In this embodiment, the conductive pins 44 are connected to the cup body 10 through a support frame 46. The support frame 46 is arranged at an end of the cup body 10 facing the cup holder 30. The support frame 46 and the cup body 10 may be fixedly connected by interference-fit, or may be integrally connected by injection molding. The conductive rings 42 are connected to an end of the cup holder 30 facing the cup body 10 through a fixing frame 48. The fixing frame 48 and the cup holder 30 may be connected by plugging, snap-fit, and etc.
Preferably, the fixing frame 48 defines a plurality of annular grooves 481 for receiving the conductive rings 42. The annular grooves 481 are arranged at intervals in the radial direction. The fixing frame 48 may be assembled with the conductive rings 42 after molding, or may be integrally connected to the conductive rings 42 during the injection molding. Preferably, a position slot 483 is concaved from a bottom of each annular groove 481, and a positon tab 43 extends from each of the conductive rings 42 into the corresponding position slot 483 to prevent relative rotation between the conductive rings 42 and the fixing frame 48.
In this embodiment, the rotary shaft 34 of the rotary motor 32 is made of conductive metal material, and acts as one of the conductive rings 42. Specifically, the rotary shaft 34, acting as the innermost conductive ring, is electrically connected to the negative poles of the functional members 16 through one corresponding conductive pin 44. The other two conductive rings 42 are received in the annular grooves 481 of the fixing frame 48 and arranged around the rotary shaft 34. These two other conductive rings 42 are electrically connected to the positive poles of the two functional members 16, respectively.
It should be understood that the rotary shaft 34 is generally a column-shaped structure with a certain diameter, and its cross section may be a solid ring or a hollow ring. In the illustrated embodiment, the cross section of an outer end of the rotary shaft 34 for outputting power is not a standard ring, specifically is generally “D” shaped, but as long as it has a certain radial width, it can form a circular moving path for the corresponding conductive pin 44 to keep them in contact with each other all the time, and thus it should be understood as a conductive ring.
In this embodiment, the motor housing 33 of the rotary motor 32 is made of conductive metal materials. One end of the rotary shaft 34 acts as a conductive ring and contacts the corresponding conductive pin 44, and the other end of the rotary shaft 34 contacts the motor housing 33 and is electrically conducted with the motor housing 33. In this situation, the motor housing 33 acts as an electrical connection path between the rotary shaft 34 and the controller 36. Preferably, a conductive terminal 331 protrudes outwardly form the motor housing 33, which may be connected to the controller 36 directly or through a wire, further simplifying the electrical connection between the rotary shaft 34 and the controller 36.

The rotary masturbation apparatus of this embodiment includes a cup body 10 and a cup holder 30 which are rotatably connected together. The cup holder 30 is equipped with a rotary motor 32 to drive the cup body 10 to rotate relative to the cup holder 30. One or more functional members 16 are arranged in the cup body 10, and a controller 36 is arranged in the cup holder 30 to control the operation of the functional members 16. The controller 36 and the functional members 16 are electrically connected through a conductive structure 40.
The conductive structure 40 includes a first conductive element 42 and a second conductive element 44 which are in contact with each other and are electrically conducted with each other.

At least one of the first and second conductive elements 42, 44 is configured as conductive ring.
Differently, in this embodiment, the first conductive element 42 is configured as conductive strips, and the second conductive element 44 is configured as conductive rings. The conductive strips 42 and conductive rings 44 both are three in number, and are used to connect two functional members 16. The conductive rings 44 are mounted around the rotary shaft 34 of the rotary motor 32 through a fixing frame 48, and are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 34. Preferably, the fixing frame 48 is provided with annular grooves 481 to accommodate the conductive rings 44. The conductive strips 42 are fixed in the cup holder 30 through a support frame 46, and are arranged at intervals in the axial direction.
Each conductive strip 42 contacts one of the conductive rings 44 in the radial direction, specifically contacts the outer circumferential surface of the corresponding conductive ring 44. During the rotation of the conductive ring 44 and the cup body 10 with the rotary shaft 34, the conductive ring 44 is in a stationary state relative to the cup body 10 and in a rotating state relative to the cup holder 30. The conductive strip 42 slides along the circumferential surface of the conductive ring 44. The conductive rings 44 and conductive strips 42 always maintain the contact and conduction state, finally maintaining the electrical connection between the controller 36 and the functional members 16.
In the above embodiments of this application, one of the first and second conductive elements 42, 44 of the conductive structure 40 is configured as conductive rings, and the other is configured as conductive pins or strips. Stable electrical connection between the first and second conductive elements 42, 44 during their relative rotation is realized through the ring-shaped structure, while reduction of the contact area and the friction of the first and second conductive elements 42, 44 during the relative rotation is ensured.
It should be understood that: the second conductive element 44 in the first embodiment may be configured as conductive strips, and the second conductive element 44 in the second embodiment may be configured as conductive pins. In addition, in some embodiments, both the first and second conductive elements 42, 44 may be configured as conductive rings, which are overlapped in the axial direction or sleeved in the radial direction, and can also maintain the electrical connection during the relative rotation.
In the first embodiment, both the first conductive element 42 and the second conductive element 44 of the conductive structure 40 are arranged in the radial direction, which can enlarge the radial size of the present rotary masturbation apparatus and reduce its axial size. In contrast, both the first conductive element 42 and the second conductive element 44 of the conductive structure 40 in the second embodiment are arranged in the axial direction, which can enlarge the axial size of the present rotary masturbation apparatus and reduce its radial size. The rotary masturbation apparatuses according to different embodiments have different advantages, which allows consumers to have more choices, so that they can choose products that are suitable for them, and then have a better use experience.
The rotary masturbation apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present application has a conductive structure 40 arranged between the cup body 10 and the cup holder 30, the first conductive element 42 and the second conductive element 42 of the conductive structure 40 are capable of maintaining the contact and conductive state therebetween, and in turn maintaining the electrical connection between the cup body 10 and the cup holder 30 which are rotate with respect to each other, so that various functional members 16 may be arranged in the cup body 10 to further improve the use experience, which is conducive to the development and promotion of the rotary masturbation apparatus.
The above merely provides the preferred embodiments of the present application, which is illustrative, rather than restrictive, to the present application. However, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that, many variations, modifications even substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope defined by the present application, shall fall into the extent of protection of the present application.
