Thus, by adding the first key 600 and the second key 700, the operational functions of the neck massage device 1 can be diversified, the user can quickly and accurately find the first key 600 and the second key 700 after touching the rocker 300, and the user can quickly distinguish the first key 600 and the second key 700 according to the position relation between the first key 600 and the second key 700 and the rocker 300 respectively, so that the operation is simple.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the joystick 300 is a universal joystick 310 that outputs the same control signal to the circuit board 200 when it swings in all directions. By the arrangement, the rocker 300 is a 'fool button', so that a user can operate at will, and the operation is easier.
Alternatively, the rocker 300 is a universal rocker 310, and at least two swing areas are divided in a 360 ° swing range, so that control signals corresponding to the swing areas are output to the circuit board 200 in different swing areas. In other words, the circumferential swingable range of the rocker 300 is divided into at least two swing areas, each swing area corresponds to a different operation signal, and when the rocker 300 enters one of the swing areas, the circuit board 20 outputs a control signal corresponding to the swing area.
When the function of the neck massager 1 is adjusted by the swinging rocker 300, the rocker 300 does not need to swing in a specific direction, but can output corresponding control signals by swinging the rocker 300 to an angle range in any direction, so that the user can not need to hold the wearing support 100 by purposely swinging the rocker 300 in a certain direction when operating the rocker 300, and the blind operation is facilitated by poking the rocker 300 by one hand to enter the certain angle range in the direction.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the distance between the first key 600 and the rocker 300 and the distance between the second key 700 and the rocker 300 are both greater than the displacement of the free end when the rocker 300 swings to the limit position.
It is understood that the swinging of the rocker 300 to the extreme position refers to the position where the rocker 300 is located when the angle between the rocker 300 and the central axis of the avoidance hole 110 is the largest. Because the free end of the rocker 300 approaches to the direction of the first button 600 or the second button 700 when the rocker 300 swings, the distance between the first button 600 and the second button 700 and the rocker 300 is increased, interference between the rocker 300 and the first button 600 and between the rocker 700 and the second button 700 can be avoided, misoperation is prevented, the structure of the neck massager 1 is more reasonable, and the reliability is improved.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the position of the wearing support 100 corresponding to the shoulder of the human body is raised along the axial direction of the neck of the human body toward the head of the human body, and the raised position can play a role in avoiding the shoulder, so that the neck massager 1 is more fit to the human body, more comfortable to wear and less prone to falling off. Alternatively, the end of the wearing bracket 100 is inclined in the axial direction of the neck of the human body in a direction away from the head of the human body.
Therefore, the fool-proof function can be achieved, the wearing mode of the neck massage device 1 is limited, the neck massage device 1 can be guided to be worn correctly by a user, the accuracy of the operation of the rocker 300 by the user is improved, and the probability of misoperation is effectively reduced.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4-6, the neck massager 1 further comprises a sensor 800, such as a direction sensor or a gravity sensor.
The sensor 800 is electrically connected to the circuit board 20, for example, the sensor 800 is mounted on the circuit board 200, the sensor 800 sends out a detection signal according to the wearing direction of the wearing bracket 100, and the circuit board 200 adjusts a control signal correspondingly output when the rocker 300 swings according to the detection signal, so that the control signals output when the rocker 300 swings in the same direction in different wearing directions of the wearing bracket 100 are the same.
It will be appreciated that different wearing directions means that the neck massage apparatus 1 can be worn in both forward and reverse directions, and the intermediate support 120 has a first edge and a second edge in its width direction. Wherein, when the neck massager 1 is worn in the forward direction, the first edge is positioned above the second edge; the first edge is located below the second edge when the neck massager 1 is worn in the reverse direction. Also, the sensor 800 may detect that the wearing bracket 100 is being worn in the forward direction or in the reverse direction.
For example, when the sensor 800 detects that the user is wearing the neck massager 1, the rocking lever 300 swings to the upper side of the human body to perform vibration massage, the rocking lever 300 swings to the lower side of the human body to perform beating massage, the rocking lever 300 swings to the left side of the human body to perform increasing gear, and the rocking lever 300 swings to the right side of the human body to perform decreasing gear; when the sensor 800 detects that the user wears the neck massager 1 reversely, the swing of the rocker 300 to the upper side of the human body is still switched to vibration massage, the swing of the rocker 300 to the lower side of the human body is still switched to beating massage, the swing of the rocker 300 to the left side of the human body is still switched to increasing gear, and the swing of the rocker 300 to the right side of the human body is still reduced gear. Therefore, even if the user wears the neck massager 1 reversely, misoperation can not occur, the operation mode of the neck massager 1 is simpler, misoperation is further avoided, and the user experience is better.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the rocker 300 is capable of moving in its axial direction to feed back a signal to the circuit board 200.
For example, the rocker 300 may output a control signal to the circuit board 200 when it is axially moved toward the circuit board 200 (i.e., pressed). The control signal output when the rocker 300 moves in the axial direction thereof is different from the control signal output when the rocker 300 swings in the circumferential direction thereof. For example, the control signal output when the rocker 300 moves along the axial direction thereof can be used for turning on and off the neck massage apparatus 1 or switching different modes of the same massage function; the control signal output when the rocker 300 swings along the circumferential direction thereof can be an adjustment gear or can be used for switching different massage functions.
In addition, different control signals can be output through different axial movement time periods of the rocker 300, for example, the start-up or the shutdown can be controlled when the rocker 300 is pressed for a long time, and different massage modes of the same massage function can be switched when the rocker 300 is pressed for a short time, for example, when the massage function is electric stimulation massage, the massage modes can be a beating mode, a kneading mode, a comprehensive mode or a scraping mode. In this way, the rocker 300 can integrate more control signals, thereby not only further facilitating the control of the neck massager 1 by the user, but also further reducing the parts of the neck massager 1 and simplifying the structure of the neck massager 1.
It will be appreciated that the reset member 500 may simultaneously reset the axial movement of the rocker 300.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the free end of the rocker 300 still extends out of the wearing bracket 100 when the rocker 300 moves to the extreme position in the axial direction of the rocker toward the wearing bracket 100. On the one hand, the probability of interference between the fingers of the user and the wearing bracket 100 can be reduced, and the rocker 300 is easier to operate by the user; on the other hand, the rocker 300 is prevented from being abutted against the shell of the wearing support 100 after moving into the wearing support 100, so that the overall structure of the neck massager 1 is more reasonable, and the reliability of the neck massager 1 is improved.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5-8, the neck massager 1 further comprises a potentiometer 900.
The potentiometer 900 is mounted on the circuit board 200, the rocker 300 is connected with the circuit board 200 through the potentiometer 900, and the resistance of the potentiometer 900 is changed through the rocker 300 to output a control signal to the circuit board 200.
The resistance value of the potentiometer 900 can be changed when the rocker 300 swings along the circumferential direction and moves along the axial direction, so that the output current value and the output voltage value are changed, and thus the circuit board 200 can output different control signals to control the neck massage machine 1. In addition, a reset piece 500 may be disposed between the rocker 300 and the potentiometer 900, where the reset piece 500 may be at least one of a reset spring and a reset spring, so that after the rocker 300 can implement swing reset and push reset, the reset piece 500 may enable the rocker 300 to return to an initial state, so that the rocker 300 performs the next operation.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5-7, rocker 300 includes a lever 330 and a cap 340.
The rod body 330 is connected with the circuit board 200 and passes through the avoidance hole 110, the cap 340 is positioned outside the wearing bracket 100 and connected with the rod body 330, and the cross-sectional area of the cap 340 is larger than that of the rod body 330. Therefore, on the one hand, the cross-sectional area of the rod body 330 is smaller, the aperture of the avoidance hole 110 can be reduced along with the cross-sectional area, the structural strength of the wearing support 100 is ensured, the probability that dust, insects, liquid and the like enter the wearing support 100 from the avoidance hole 110 is also reduced, on the other hand, the cross-sectional area of the cap body 340 is larger, and when the user moves (e.g. presses and swings) the rocker 300, the contact area between the user finger and the cap body 340 is larger, so that the local pressure of the user finger is smaller, that is, the overall stress of the user finger is more uniform, and the comfort of moving the rocker 300 is improved.
Further, the maximum cross-sectional area of the cap 340 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the relief hole 110.
Specifically, the maximum cross-sectional area of the cap 340 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the escape hole 110, i.e., the cross-sectional area of the portion where the cap 340 exists is not larger than the cross-sectional area of the escape hole 110. Like this, the cap 340 can shelter from dodging hole 110, further avoids dust, insect and liquid etc. to get into the inside of wearing support 100 from dodging hole 110, improves neck massage appearance 1 holistic cleanliness, prevents that above-mentioned impurity from increasing the corrosion rate of the part of neck massage appearance 1, and then increases neck massage appearance 1's life.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, an end of the rod 330 facing the cap 340 is configured as a mounting portion 331, the cap 340 has a mounting hole 342 mated with the mounting portion 331, and the cross section of the mounting portion 331 and the cross section of the mounting hole 342 are non-circular, such as rectangular and elliptical, which are adapted to each other. Thus, the relative rotation between the rod 330 and the cap 340 can be prevented, the connection is more reliable, and the structure of the rocker 300 is more stable.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the surface of the cap 340 facing away from the rod 330 is configured as a curved surface, which is convex facing away from the rod 330. Thus, when the user moves the rocker 300, the finger contacts the cambered surface, so that the comfort is higher and the user experience is better.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, a surface of the cap 340 facing away from the rod 330 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip bumps 341 arranged at intervals, and it is understood that each anti-slip bump 341 protrudes facing away from the rod 330. Through the arrangement of the anti-skid convex points 341, the friction force between the fingers of the user and the cap 340 can be increased, the user can swing the rocker 300 more easily, and the operation convenience is improved.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, the cap 340 is a flexible member, for example, the cap 340 may be a silicone member, the cap 340 has elastic deformation capability, and the cap 340 contacts the inner peripheral wall of the escape hole 110 when the rocker 300 swings to the limit position. Therefore, the contact between the cap 340 and the inner circumferential wall of the avoidance hole 110 is flexible, i.e. the cap 340 can play a role in buffering through elastic deformation, so that the damage of the rocker 300 and the inner circumferential wall of the avoidance hole 110 can be avoided, and the collision noise between the cap 340 and the inner circumferential wall of the avoidance hole 110 can be reduced.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the outer surface of the wearing bracket 100 is provided with a rib 140 extending along the circumferential direction thereof, and the dodge hole 110 breaks the rib 140 in the length direction of the rib 140, i.e., the free end of the rocker 300 breaks the rib 140 in the length direction of the rib 140.
For example, the free end of the rocker 300 extends from the second surface 132 to wear the bracket 100, and the rib 140 can be disposed on the second surface 132, so that the user can quickly find the position of the rocker 300 along the rib 140 after touching the rib 140, and the operation is more convenient and quick.
