BACKGROUND

Massage equipment is used to massage and relax the human body through mechanical or electrical stimulation. When the muscles feel sore and tense due to fatigue, the use of massage equipment can stimulate the nerves, relax the tendons, improve blood circulation, and relax the tense muscles after exercise, thereby effectively reducing the fatigue and soreness caused by exercise and mental stress. Massage equipment is generally designed according to the massage techniques of human hands, so as to achieve or even exceed the effect of human massage. Common massage techniques include pressing, pinching, rubbing, kneading, pushing, holding, clapping, shaking, and vibrating.

The pipe joint 330 is arranged on the bracket 220 for easy assembly. In this way, when the bell-shaped cap 110 is closely attached to the skin of the massaged part of the human body, the air in the bell-shaped cap 110 is drawn by the air pump 310, so that a negative pressure is formed in the bell-shaped cap 110 and is adsorbed on the massaged part of the human body. When a negative pressure is formed in the bell-shaped cap 110, the air flow is closed by the air flow control valve 320 to maintain the negative pressure environment. The air flow is opened through the airflow control valve 320 to release the pressure in the inner chamber of the bell-shaped cap 110, or the pressure is released by pinching the outer wall of the bell-shaped 110 with fingers. The airflow control valve 320 can be a solenoid valve or a one-way valve. When a negative pressure is formed in the bell-shaped cap 110 and is adsorbed on the massaged parts of the human body, the massage drive mechanism 400 drives the opposite side walls of the bell-shaped cap 110 to reciprocate and swing in a manner of approaching or moving away from each other, thereby performing pinch-kneading massage action on the massaged parts of the human body. The massage head 210 of the surround massage component performs a 360-degree swinging movement around the center of the spherical surface 213 to produce a circular kneading massage action. In this way, multiple massage methods are combined to further enhance the comfortable experience of massage, the structure design is compact, and the massage effect is better.
