The invention mainly provides a bendable component and a massage instrument with the bendable component.

The massage instrument is a massage device and is used for carrying out physiological massage on various organs, and helping to relieve pressure, promote blood circulation, eliminate fatigue and the like. According to the massage effect and the massage requirement, the massage cushion can be divided into a neck massage instrument, a waist massage instrument, a wrist strap massage instrument, a massage cushion, an eye massage instrument, a hand-held massage instrument and the like so as to meet different massage requirements.

When specifically using, the flexible subassembly can be used as the massage mechanism of massage appearance to realize carrying out the flexible massage to the human body, in order to solve the great problem of the machinery pause of massage appearance existence among the correlation technique, improve the compliance of pressing, improve the travelling comfort of pressing. The bendable members may also be used as part of the device body of the massage apparatus, such as when the massage apparatus is a neck massage apparatus, the bendable members may be used to constitute a section of the wearing main body thereof so that the wearing main body is foldable.

The specific structure of the bendable assembly 10 will be mainly described below, and will be explained in detail mainly in connection with the bendable assembly serving as a massage mechanism of the massage machine.

Referring to fig. 1-3, in an embodiment of the present invention, the bendable assembly 10 includes a first actuation bladder 100, the first actuation bladder 100 including:

a first actuating diaphragm 110, said first actuating diaphragm 110 having a first degree of flow-sensitive deformability; and

a second actuation diaphragm 120, said second actuation diaphragm 120 being disposed opposite first actuation diaphragm 110, said second actuation diaphragm 120 having a second degree of flow sensitivity; the second degree of flow-sensitive deformation is less than the first degree of flow-sensitive deformation (i.e., the first degree of flow-sensitive deformation is greater than the second degree of flow-sensitive deformation) to cause the first actuation bladder 100 to flex toward the side of the second actuation diaphragm 120 when the first actuation bladder 100 is filled with fluid.

Wherein the degree of flow-sensitive deformation is used to reflect the degree of deformation (magnitude/amplitude) of the actuation diaphragm per unit change in gas pressure when the first actuation bladder 100 is filled with fluid, which is indicative of the ease of deformation of the actuation diaphragm in response to the sensitivity of the actuation diaphragm to changes in the fill fluid; the greater the degree of flow-sensitive deformation, the greater the degree (amount/magnitude) of deformation of the actuation diaphragm per unit of air pressure change, i.e. the more easily the actuation diaphragm is deformed. Specifically, the first degree of flow-sensitive deformation indicates how easily first actuation diaphragm 110 is deformed, and the second degree of flow-sensitive deformation indicates how easily second actuation diaphragm 120 is deformed.

It will be appreciated that, because the second degree of flow-sensitive deformation is less than the first degree of flow-sensitive deformation, first actuation membrane 110 will deform to a greater extent (amount/magnitude) than second actuation membrane 120 under the same gas pressure when fluid is filled into first actuation bladder 100, i.e., causing first actuation bladder 100 to flex to the side of second actuation membrane 120.

It should be noted that the fact that the first actuation bladder 100 is bent toward the side where the second actuation diaphragm 120 is located means that the first actuation bladder 100 is recessed on the side where the second actuation diaphragm 120 is located after bending.

The fluid may be gas, liquid, gas-liquid mixture, etc., and gas is taken as an example.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first actuating bladder 100 is a closed bladder with a cavity, the bladder cavity 125 of the first actuating bladder can contain a fluid, and the first actuating bladder 100 has a fluid inlet communicated with the bladder cavity 125, so as to fill the first actuating bladder 100 with the fluid through the fluid inlet, such as inflation. Optionally, the first actuation bladder 100 also has a fluid outlet in communication with the bladder cavity 125 for venting, e.g., deflating, etc., fluid within the first actuation bladder 100. For convenience of description, the following description will be given taking an example in which the fluid is used as a gas, the fluid is filled in the first actuation bladder 100 as inflation, and the fluid in the first actuation bladder 100 is released as deflation.

Of course, in other embodiments, the fluid inlet and fluid outlet may be integrated together in the same fluid port, i.e., with the first actuating bladder 100 having a fluid inlet and outlet in communication with the bladder cavity 125.

Specifically, the overall shape of the first actuation bladder 100 may be various, such as an elongated shape, a spherical shape, a square shape, or the like, and the following description will mainly take the case where the overall shape of the first actuation bladder 100 is an elongated shape. The fluid inlet may be located at a variety of locations, such as at the ends, or at the middle, or near the ends of the first actuator bladder 100, and will be described below with reference to being located at the ends or at the middle of the elongated first actuator bladder 100.

In particular embodiments, the cross-section of first actuation bladder 100 may have a variety of forms, as long as it has first actuation diaphragm 110 and second actuation diaphragm 120 disposed opposite each other, such as a cross-section of first actuation bladder 100 that is circular, or elliptical, or rectangular, or hexagonal, etc. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the right direction, but includes the diagonal direction.

As in some embodiments, first actuation bladder 100 may include only first actuation membrane 110 and second actuation membrane 120, with the sides of first actuation membrane 110 and second actuation membrane 120 being connected correspondingly, in which case optionally, at least one of first actuation membrane 110 and second actuation membrane 120 may have an arcuate cross-section; it is also possible that first actuation bladder 100 further includes other bladder walls, such as by first actuation bladder 100 further including first and second opposing attachment membranes, the first attachment membrane connecting one side of first actuation membrane 110 and second actuation membrane 120, and the second attachment membrane connecting the other side of first actuation membrane 110 and second actuation membrane 120, such that first actuation membrane 110 and second actuation membrane 120 may be selected to be flat, thereby facilitating bending and deformation of first actuation bladder 100.

There are many ways to distribute the areas of the first and

second actuating diaphragms

110 and 120, and in this embodiment, the areas of the first and

second actuating diaphragms

110 and 120 are equivalent.

The first and

second actuating diaphragms

110 and 120 have elasticity, the elastic modulus of the material of the first actuating diaphragm 110 is E1, and the elastic modulus of the material of the second actuating diaphragm 120 is E2.

It should be noted that there are many factors that affect the degree of flow-sensitive deformation, such as the modulus of elasticity of the material of the actuating diaphragm, and the thickness of the actuating diaphragm, among others.

The second flow-sensitive deformability is smaller than the first flow-sensitive deformability. The modulus of elasticity E2 of the material of the second actuation diaphragm 120 can be made greater than the modulus of elasticity E1 of the material of the first actuation diaphragm 110 so that the second degree of flow-sensitive deformation is less than the first degree of flow-sensitive deformation; and/or the thickness of the second actuation diaphragm 120 may be made greater than the thickness of the first actuation diaphragm 110 such that the second flow-sensitive deformation is less than the first flow-sensitive deformation.

It will be appreciated that the degree of flow-sensitive deformation of the actuating diaphragm is related to the modulus of elasticity of the material forming the actuating diaphragm, the greater the modulus of elasticity of the material, the smaller the degree of flow-sensitive deformation; conversely, the smaller the elastic modulus of the material, the greater the degree of flow-sensitive deformation. As otherwise the same, the elastic modulus E2 of the material of the second actuation diaphragm 120 may be made greater than the elastic modulus E1 of the material of the first actuation diaphragm 110, so that the second flow-sensitive deformation is less than the first flow-sensitive deformation. That is, the fluid-sensitive deformation degree of the actuating diaphragm 110 and the fluid-sensitive deformation degree of the second actuating diaphragm 120 can be different by controlling the materials of the two diaphragms.

Alternatively, the materials of the first and

second actuating diaphragms

110 and 120 may be different silicone or rubber materials, etc.

It will be appreciated that the degree of flow-sensitive deformation of the actuating diaphragm is also related to the thickness of the actuating diaphragm, the greater the thickness, the less the degree of flow-sensitive deformation; the smaller the thickness, the greater the degree of flow-sensitive deformation. The thickness of the second actuation diaphragm 120 may be made greater than the thickness of the first actuation diaphragm 110 to cause the second flow responsive deformation to be less than the first flow responsive deformation, all other things being equal. That is, the first and

second actuation diaphragms

110 and 120 can be made to have different degrees of flow-sensitive deformation by controlling the thicknesses of the two diaphragms to be different.

Of course, the above two factors can be combined, that is, the elastic modulus E2 of the material of the second actuation diaphragm 120 is greater than the elastic modulus E1 of the material of the first actuation diaphragm 110, and the thickness of the second actuation diaphragm 120 is greater than the thickness of the first actuation diaphragm 110, so that the second flow-sensitive deformation degree is less than the first flow-sensitive deformation degree.

In this embodiment, when the bendable member is used as a massage power member (such as a massage head or a massage hand) to be mounted on the device body of the massage apparatus, when fluid is filled into the bladder cavity 125, the first actuating bladder 100 is gradually inflated, the side wall of the actuating cavity is elastically deformed, and in the process, both the first actuating diaphragm 110 and the second actuating diaphragm 120 are elastically deformed, and in the process of deformation, the second flow-sensitive deformation degree is smaller than the first flow-sensitive deformation degree, so that the deformation degree (amount/magnitude) of the first actuating diaphragm 110 is larger than that of the second actuating diaphragm 120, thereby bending the first actuating bladder 100 to the side where the second actuating diaphragm 120 is located, for realizing massage of the massage region.

Moreover, since the actuation of the first actuating bladder 100 is gradual with increasing fluid, the deformation process is gentle and continuous without the jerking effect of mechanical actuation, and the noise is very small, which is beneficial to improve the massage comfort of the flexible bendable assembly 10 and the massage apparatus.

And, since the deformation generated by the first actuating bladder 100 is a curvature, it can realize both a pressing massage and a kneading massage during a massage, thereby having a good bionic massage.

Specifically, the fluid inlet may be provided at one end of the first actuating bladder 100, and when the fluid inlet is applied to a massage apparatus, one end of the first actuating bladder 100 having the fluid inlet and outlet may be mounted on the apparatus body of the massage apparatus to serve as a mounting end of the first actuating bladder, and the other end of the first actuating bladder 100 may be a free end/massage end to serve as a massage part for massage.

The fluid inlet/outlet may be provided at the middle portion of the first actuating bladder 100, so that when it is applied to a massage apparatus, the middle portion of the first actuating bladder 100 may be mounted to the apparatus body of the massage apparatus to serve as a mounting end of the first actuating bladder, and both ends of the first actuating bladder 100 may be free ends/massage ends, so that the first actuating bladder 100 can perform a grip-type massage.

In some embodiments, in order to allow gas to more conveniently enter first actuation bladder 100, a fluid tube 300 may be provided at the fluid inlet to connect with a gas supply device (e.g., a gas pump, etc.) through the fluid tube. Of course, the gas-filled tube of the gas supply device can also be directly detachably mounted at the fluid inlet.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, first actuation membrane 110 includes a plurality of first actuation segments connected in series along a length of the first actuation bladder, with adjacent first actuation segments having different degrees of flow-sensitive deformation. In this way, when inflating the first actuating bladder 100, the amount of deformation of each section of the first actuating section can be made different, so that the bending amplitude of different sections of the first actuating bladder 100 in the length direction is made different, and thus the flow-sensitive deformation degree of the multiple sections of the first actuating section can be designed according to requirements to achieve different requirements.

Similarly, the second actuating membrane 120 may also include a plurality of second actuating segments connected in series in the length direction of the first actuating bladder, and the adjacent two second actuating segments have different flow-sensitive deformation degrees. Thus, when the first actuating bladder 100 is inflated, the deformation amount of each second actuating section is different, and the bending amplitude of different sections of the first actuating bladder 100 in the length direction is different, so that the flow-sensitive deformation degrees of the multiple sections of the first actuating sections can be designed according to requirements, and different requirements can be met.

It will be appreciated that in particular embodiments, only one of the above arrangements need be satisfied.

In some alternative embodiments, the first actuating membrane 110 may include a plurality of first actuating segments connected in series along the length of the first actuating bladder, and the first actuating segments of two adjacent segments have different flow-sensitive deformation degrees; the second actuating membrane 120 comprises a plurality of second actuating sections which are sequentially connected in the length direction of the first actuating bag, and the flow-sensitive deformation degrees of two adjacent second actuating sections are different; and the multiple sections of the first actuating sections and the multiple sections of the second actuating sections are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence manner. Wherein, for any one of the first actuating section and the second actuating section which are oppositely arranged, the flow-sensitive deformation degree of the first actuating section can be larger than that of the second actuating section. In this way, the corresponding first and second actuating segments may be deformed with the same tendency, thereby allowing the different segments of the first actuating bladder 100 to bend more cooperatively in the lengthwise direction.

Alternatively, the degree of flow-sensitive deformation of any first actuation section may be made greater than the degree of flow-sensitive deformation of any second actuation section.

In some further embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the degree of flow-sensitive deformation of a plurality of segments of the first actuation segment may be made to decrease or increase along the length of the first actuation bladder 100. As such, the deformation amount of the multiple first actuation segments may be gradually increased or decreased in the length direction of the first actuation bladder 100 during inflation, so as to facilitate increasing the actuation amount of the first actuation bladder 100 (under otherwise identical conditions, such as the length of the first actuation bladder 100, etc., at certain times).

For example, when the fluid inlet is disposed at one end of the first actuating bladder 100, the fluid-sensitive deformation degree of the multiple first actuating segments can be gradually increased in a direction from the end (i.e., the fixed end) where the fluid inlet is located to the other end (i.e., the massage end), so that the deformation degree of the multiple first actuating segments can be gradually increased in the direction during inflation, and the bending amplitude of the first actuating bladder 100 in the direction can be gradually increased, thereby facilitating to increase the actuating amount of the first actuating bladder 100 and improve the actuating effect.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 2, the degree of flow-sensitive deformation of a plurality of segments of the second actuation segment may also be made to decrease or increase along the length of first actuation bladder 100. In this manner, the deformation amount of the plurality of second actuating sections may be gradually increased or decreased in the length direction of the first actuating bladder 100 when inflated, so as to facilitate increasing the actuating amount of the first actuating bladder 100 (under otherwise identical conditions, such as the length of the first actuating bladder 100, and the like).

For example, when the fluid inlet is disposed at one end of the first actuating bladder 100, the fluid-sensitive deformation degrees of the multiple segments of the second actuating segments can be gradually increased in a direction from the end (i.e., the fixed end) where the fluid inlet is located to the other end (i.e., the massage end), so that during inflation, the deformation degrees of the multiple segments of the second actuating segments can be gradually increased in the direction, and thus the bending amplitude of the first actuating bladder 100 in the direction can be gradually increased, which is beneficial to increasing the actuating amount of the first actuating bladder 100 and improving the actuating effect.

In still further embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of segments (which is understood to mean at least three segments) of the first actuating segment may also be made to have a degree of flow-sensitive deformation that decreases from the middle of the first actuating bladder 100 toward the ends thereof, such that the amount of deformation of the plurality of segments of the first actuating segment may be made to gradually increase or decrease in a direction from the middle of the first actuating bladder 100 toward the ends thereof, so as to provide different segments of the first actuating bladder 100 with different amounts of actuation.

For example, when the fluid inlet is disposed at the middle portion of the first actuating bladder 100, the fluid-sensitive deformation degree of the multiple segments of the first actuating segment may be gradually increased from the middle portion of the first actuating bladder 100 to the two ends thereof (i.e., the fluid-sensitive deformation degree of the multiple segments of the first actuating segment is gradually increased from the fixed end to the massage end), so that the deformation degree of the multiple segments of the first actuating segment may be gradually increased from the middle portion of the first actuating bladder 100 to the two ends thereof, and the bending range of the first actuating bladder 100 may be gradually increased from the middle portion of the first actuating bladder 100 to the two ends thereof, so that the bending range near the fixed end may be smaller, and the bending range near the massage end may be larger, so as to enhance the massage effect.

Similarly, as shown in fig. 3, the flow-sensitive deformation degree of the plurality of second actuating sections may be decreased from the middle of the first actuating bladder 100 to both ends, so that the deformation degree of the plurality of second actuating sections may be increased or decreased from the middle of the first actuating bladder 100 to both ends, so that different sections of the first actuating bladder 100 have different actuating amounts.

For example, when the fluid inlet is disposed in the middle of the first actuating bladder 100, the fluid-sensitive deformation degree of the plurality of second actuating sections may be gradually increased from the middle of the first actuating bladder 100 to the two ends (i.e., the fluid-sensitive deformation degree of the plurality of second actuating sections is gradually increased from the fixed end to the massage end), so that the deformation degree of the plurality of second actuating sections may be gradually increased from the middle of the first actuating bladder 100 to the two ends, and the bending range of the first actuating bladder 100 may be gradually increased from the middle of the first actuating bladder 100 to the two ends, so that the bending range near the fixed end may be smaller, and the bending range near the massage end may be larger, so as to enhance the massage effect.

To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, the following examples are given based on the number of stages.

For example, in some embodiments, the first actuation diaphragm 110 may include two segments of a first actuation segment, and respectively a first diaphragm segment 111 and a second diaphragm segment 112 connected to the first diaphragm segment 111, the first diaphragm segment 111 having a first degree of flow-sensitive deformation, the second diaphragm segment 112 having a second degree of flow-sensitive deformation, the first degree of deformation being less than or greater than the second degree of deformation; and/or, the second actuating membrane 120 may comprise two second actuating segments, namely a third membrane segment 121 and a fourth membrane segment 122 connected to the third membrane segment 121, wherein the flow-sensitive deformation degree of the third membrane segment 121 is a third deformation degree, the flow-sensitive deformation degree of the fourth membrane segment 122 is a fourth deformation degree, and the third deformation degree is smaller than or larger than the fourth deformation degree.

Moreover, when the first actuating diaphragm 110 includes two first actuating segments and the second actuating diaphragm 120 includes two second actuating segments, the first diaphragm segment 111 and the third diaphragm segment 121 may be disposed opposite to each other, the second diaphragm segment 112 and the fourth diaphragm segment 122 may be disposed opposite to each other, the third deformation degree is smaller than the first deformation degree, and the fourth deformation degree is smaller than the second deformation degree.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the first actuating diaphragm 110 includes a first diaphragm segment 111 and a second diaphragm segment 112, and when the first deformation degree is smaller than the second deformation degree, the second diaphragm segment 112 is more easily deformed than the first diaphragm segment 111 when the gas is filled in the first actuating bladder 100, and at this time, there is a difference in bending amplitude between the first diaphragm segment 111 and the second diaphragm, so that the actuating amount of the first actuating diaphragm 110 can be increased during the elastic deformation of the first actuating diaphragm 110.

Similarly, the second actuating diaphragm 120 includes a third diaphragm segment 121 and a fourth diaphragm segment 122, and when the third deformation degree is smaller than the fourth deformation degree, the fourth diaphragm segment 122 is more easily deformed than the third diaphragm segment 121 when the first actuating bladder 100 is filled with gas, and at this time, there is a difference in bending amplitude between the third diaphragm segment 121 and the fourth diaphragm, so that the actuating amount of the second actuating diaphragm 120 can be increased during the elastic deformation of the second actuating diaphragm 120.

And any one of the first actuating section and the second actuating section which are oppositely arranged is used for enabling the flow sensitive deformation degree of the first actuating section to be larger than or smaller than that of the second actuating section, so that the deformation directions of all membrane sections are consistent in the deformation process of the first actuating bag 100, and the actuating directions are also consistent, and the actuation amount of the first actuating bag 100 is greatly improved.

For example, in another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the first actuation membrane 110 may include three first actuation segments, which are a first membrane segment 111, a second membrane segment 112 connected to the first membrane segment 111, and a fifth membrane segment 113, respectively, the fifth membrane segment 113 being connected to an end of the second membrane segment 112 away from the first membrane segment 111; the flow sensitive deformation degree of the first membrane fragment 111 is a first deformation degree, the flow sensitive deformation degree of the second membrane fragment 112 is a second deformation degree, the flow sensitive deformation degree of the fifth membrane fragment 113 is a fifth deformation degree, and the first deformation degree, the second deformation degree and the fifth deformation degree are sequentially decreased or increased; and/or, the second actuating membrane 120 may comprise three first actuating segments, namely a third membrane segment 121, a fourth membrane segment 122 connected to the third membrane segment 121, and a sixth membrane segment 123, wherein the sixth membrane segment 123 is connected to an end of the fourth membrane segment 122 away from the third membrane segment 121; the flow sensitive deformation degree of the third membrane segment 121 is a third deformation degree, the flow sensitive deformation degree of the fourth membrane segment 122 is a fourth deformation degree, the flow sensitive deformation degree of the sixth membrane segment 123 is a sixth deformation degree, and the third deformation degree, the fourth deformation degree and the sixth deformation degree are sequentially decreased or increased.

Moreover, when the first actuating diaphragm 110 includes three first actuating segments and the second actuating diaphragm 120 includes three second actuating segments, the first diaphragm segment 111 and the third diaphragm segment 121 may be disposed opposite to each other, the second diaphragm segment 112 and the fourth diaphragm segment 122 may be disposed opposite to each other, the fifth diaphragm segment 113 and the sixth diaphragm segment 123 may be disposed opposite to each other, the third deformation degree is smaller than the first deformation degree, the fourth deformation degree is smaller than the second deformation degree, and the sixth deformation degree is smaller than the fifth deformation degree.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the first actuating diaphragm 110 at least includes three first actuating segments, and the first deformation degree, the second deformation degree and the fifth deformation degree are sequentially increased, so that the elastic deformation degrees of the first diaphragm segment 111, the second diaphragm segment 112 and the fifth diaphragm segment 113 are sequentially increased, and thus, the deformation amount of the first actuating diaphragm 110 is superimposed on the same end, which is beneficial to greatly increasing the deformation amount of one end of the first actuating diaphragm 110, and is beneficial to further improving the bending actuation amount of the first actuating diaphragm 110.

Similarly, the second actuating diaphragm 120 at least includes three second actuating segments, and the third deformation degree, the fourth deformation degree and the sixth deformation degree are sequentially increased, so that the elastic deformation degrees of the third diaphragm segment 121, the fourth diaphragm segment 122 and the sixth diaphragm segment 123 are sequentially increased, and thus, the deformation amount of the second actuating diaphragm 120 is superimposed on the same end, which is beneficial to greatly increasing the deformation amount of one end of the second actuating diaphragm 120, and is beneficial to further improving the actuating amount of the second actuating diaphragm 120.

In some embodiments, the first film segment 111 and the third film segment 121 are arranged to correspond and are of equal length prior to elastic deformation; the second film segment 112 and the fourth film segment 122 are arranged correspondingly and have the same length; the fifth film segment 113 and the sixth film segment 123 are disposed correspondingly and have the same length. Of course, in some embodiments, the lengths of the first membrane segment 111, the second membrane, and the fifth membrane may be partially or fully equivalent. In particular embodiments, the lengths of the first film segment 111 to the sixth film segment 123 may be set according to specific operating condition requirements.

For example, in a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 3, the first actuation diaphragm 110 includes three first actuation segments, i.e., the first actuation diaphragm 110 includes a first membrane segment 111, a second membrane segment 112, and a fifth membrane segment 113 connected in series, and both a first deformation degree of the first membrane segment 111 and a fifth deformation degree of the fifth membrane segment 113 are less than a second deformation degree of the second membrane segment 112; and/or the second actuating diaphragm 120 includes three second actuating segments, that is, the second actuating diaphragm 120 includes a third diaphragm segment 121, a fourth diaphragm segment 122 and a sixth diaphragm segment 123 which are connected in sequence, and both the third deformation degree of the third diaphragm segment 121 and the sixth deformation degree of the sixth diaphragm segment 123 are smaller than the fourth deformation degree of the fourth diaphragm segment 122.

Alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

the first actuating diaphragm 110 comprises three first actuating segments, namely the first actuating diaphragm 110 comprises a first diaphragm segment 111, a second diaphragm segment 112 and a fifth diaphragm segment 113 which are sequentially connected, and both a first deformation degree of the first diaphragm segment 111 and a fifth deformation degree of the fifth diaphragm segment 113 are greater than a second deformation degree of the second diaphragm segment 112; and/or the second actuating diaphragm 120 includes three second actuating segments, that is, the second actuating diaphragm 120 includes a third diaphragm segment 121, a fourth diaphragm segment 122 and a sixth diaphragm segment 123 which are connected in sequence, and both the third deformation degree of the third diaphragm segment 121 and the sixth deformation degree of the sixth diaphragm segment 123 are greater than the fourth deformation degree of the fourth diaphragm segment 122.

Alternatively, the fluid inlet may be located on the first actuation bladder 100 at a location corresponding to the second membrane segment 112 and/or the fourth membrane segment 122, such that the middle portion of the first actuation bladder 100 is a fixed end.

As such, the first actuating membrane 110 includes at least three membrane segments, and both the first and fifth deformation degrees of both ends are set to be less than or greater than the second deformation degree of the middle portion, so that both the elastic deformation degrees of the first and fifth membrane segments 111 and 113 of both ends are greater than or less than the deformation degree of the second membrane segment 112 of the middle portion, and so that the bending amplitude of the first actuating bladder 100 is gradually increased in the direction from the middle portion of the first actuating bladder 100 to both ends, so that the bending amplitude near the fixed end can be made smaller, and the bending amplitude near the massage end is made larger, to enhance the massage effect. It is worth mentioning that in different embodiments, the variation of the amount of actuation may be adjusted by the difference between the first degree of deformation (fifth degree of deformation) and the second degree of deformation.

Similarly, the second actuating diaphragm 120 includes at least three diaphragm segments, and the third and sixth deformation degrees at both ends are set to be less than or greater than the second deformation degree, so that the elastic deformation degrees of the second and

sixth diaphragm segments

112 and 123 at both ends are greater than or less than the deformation degree of the fourth diaphragm segment 122 at the middle portion, and thus, the bending amplitude of the first actuating bladder 100 is gradually increased from the middle portion of the first actuating bladder 100 to both ends, so that the bending amplitude near the fixed end is small, and the bending amplitude near the massage end is large, to enhance the massage effect. It is worth mentioning that in different embodiments, the variation of the actuation amount may be adjusted by the difference between the third deformation degree (sixth deformation degree) and the fourth deformation degree.

It is worth noting that in the above embodiment, the overall degree of flow-sensitive deformation of first actuation membrane 110 is maintained greater than the overall degree of flow-sensitive deformation of second actuation membrane 120, such that the overall deformation of first actuation bladder 100 remains curved toward the side of second actuation membrane 120. In various embodiments, different actuation directions and actuation amounts may be achieved by adjusting the difference between the first and third degrees of deformation, the difference between the second and fourth degrees of deformation, and the difference between the fifth and sixth degrees of deformation, thereby substantially improving the compliance of the first actuation bladder 100.

Referring to fig. 4 through 9, in some embodiments, a diaphragm may be disposed within the first actuation bladder 100, the diaphragm dividing the inner cavity of the first actuation bladder 100 into a plurality of actuation chambers that are distributed sequentially along the length of the first actuation bladder 100; accordingly, the first actuating diaphragm 110 and the actuating diaphragm 120 each extend along the length of the first actuating bladder 100, such that the first actuating diaphragm 110 includes a plurality of first actuating segments located in a plurality of actuating chambers in a one-to-one correspondence, and the second actuating diaphragm 120 includes a plurality of second actuating segments located in a plurality of actuating chambers in a one-to-one correspondence.

In this manner, the inner cavity of the first actuating bladder 100 is partitioned by the diaphragm to form a plurality of actuating chambers, and then the plurality of actuating chambers can be controlled individually or as needed (i.e., at least one of the plurality of actuating chambers can be inflated as needed), so that the portion of the first actuating bladder 100 can be bent to actuate, and thus the first actuating bladder 100 can implement a plurality of actuating modes to meet different actuating requirements and different massage requirements. The following examples are given by way of illustration.

Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the diaphragm may be provided with one and as a first diaphragm 160, the first diaphragm 160 separating the interior cavity of the first actuation bladder 100 into a first actuation chamber 130 and a second actuation chamber 150 that are independent of one another. The first actuation diaphragm 110 includes first and second diaphragm segments corresponding to the first and

second actuation chambers

130 and 150, respectively, and the second actuation diaphragm 120 includes third and fourth diaphragm segments corresponding to the first and

second actuation chambers

130 and 150, respectively.

As such, the first actuation chamber 130, or the second actuation chamber 150, or both the first actuation chamber 130 and the second actuation chamber 150, may be inflated as desired to achieve a variety of actuation and massage modes.

Specifically, in another embodiment, the diaphragm may be provided in plural numbers, and the plural diaphragms are spaced apart in the length direction of the first actuating bladder 100 to divide the inner cavity of the first actuating bladder 100 into plural actuating cavities.

As shown in fig. 6-9, there are two diaphragms, namely a first diaphragm 160 and a second diaphragm 170, the first diaphragm 160 and the second diaphragm 170 dividing the inner cavity of the first actuating bladder 100 into a first actuating chamber 130, a second actuating chamber 150 and a third actuating chamber 180 that are independent of each other. The first actuation diaphragm 110 includes first, second, and fifth diaphragm segments corresponding to the first, second, and

third actuation chambers

130, 150, and 180, respectively, and the second actuation diaphragm 120 includes third, fourth, and sixth diaphragm segments corresponding to the first, second, and

third actuation chambers

130, 150, and 180, respectively.

As such, at least one of the first actuation chamber 130, the second actuation chamber 150, and the third actuation chamber 180 may be inflated as desired to achieve a variety of actuation and massage patterns.

In a specific application, as in some embodiments, a fluid valve may be provided on the diaphragm, and when the fluid valve is opened, two adjacent actuating chambers are communicated; when the fluid valve is closed, the communication between two adjacent actuating cavities is blocked. In this way, the corresponding fluid valve can be opened as required, so that the inflation of the required number of actuating cavities can be controlled to realize the actuation.

Wherein the fluid valve is configured to be connected with a master control circuit of the massager. The fluid valve is a control valve corresponding to the fluid, such as a gas valve, a liquid control valve, and the like.

As shown in fig. 5, the diaphragm is provided with one and is the first diaphragm 160, and accordingly, the fluid valve is the first fluid valve 161 provided on the first diaphragm 160. At this time, fluid may be filled into any one of the chambers partitioned by the first diaphragm, and the operation of the two actuating chambers may be simultaneously controlled by using only one fluid pump through the cooperation of the first fluid valve 161. Of course, in some embodiments, both actuation chambers may be filled with fluid at the same time, depending on the requirements of a particular operating condition.

As shown in fig. 7-9, the illustrated diaphragm is provided in two, respectively, a first diaphragm 160 and a second diaphragm 170, and the fluid valves include a first fluid valve 161 and a second fluid valve 171 disposed on the first diaphragm 160 and the second diaphragm 170.

In some other embodiments, a plurality of fluid inlets may be provided instead of the fluid valve, and the plurality of fluid inlets are in one-to-one communication with the plurality of actuating chambers. In this manner, individual intake control of multiple actuation chambers may be achieved.

As shown in fig. 4, the diaphragm is provided with one, and the fluid inlet is provided with two. As shown in fig. 6, the number of the diaphragms is two, and the number of the fluid inlets is three.

Of course, it should be noted that the above approaches to intake control of multiple actuation chambers may also be used in combination and need not be described in detail herein.

In a further embodiment, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the degree of flow-sensitive deformation of two adjacent segments of the first actuating segment may be different, and/or the degree of flow-sensitive deformation of two adjacent segments of the second actuating segment may be different. The specific setting manner and effect can refer to the above embodiments, and need not be described in detail herein.

In this manner, more actuation patterns may be provided for first actuation bladder 100, facilitating first actuation bladder 100 to meet more complex conditions.

Referring to fig. 10-14, in some embodiments, to increase the actuation strength of the bendable assembly 10, the bendable assembly 10 may further include a second actuation bladder 200.

Specifically, the second actuation bladder 200 includes a third actuation diaphragm 210 and a fourth actuation diaphragm 220, the fourth actuation diaphragm 220 being disposed opposite the third actuation diaphragm 210, the third actuation diaphragm 210 having a third flow-sensitive deformability, the fourth actuation diaphragm 220 having a fourth flow-sensitive deformability; the fourth degree of flow-sensitive deformation is less than the third degree of flow-sensitive deformation to cause the second actuating bladder 200 to flex to the side of the fourth actuating diaphragm 220 when the second actuating bladder 200 is filled with fluid.

Wherein the first and

second actuating bladders

100 and 200 are arranged in a stacked manner, and optionally, the first and

second actuating bladders

100 and 200 are arranged in a stacked manner in a thickness direction. And, the fourth actuating diaphragm 220 is disposed adjacent to the first actuating diaphragm 110, or the second actuating diaphragm 120 is disposed adjacent to the third actuating diaphragm 210. The fourth actuation diaphragm 220 is described as being disposed adjacent to the first actuation diaphragm 110.

In a specific application, a certain gap may be formed between the first actuating bladder 100 and the second actuating bladder 200, and the first actuating bladder 100 and the second actuating bladder 200 may be sequentially stacked in a receiving member having a receiving cavity. First and

second actuating bladders

100 and 200 may also be coupled, such as by coupling fourth actuating membrane 220 to first actuating membrane 110, such as by an adhesive glue or the like, or by heat staking, etc.

It will be appreciated that the second actuating bladder 200 operates on the same principle as the first actuating bladder 100, i.e., by having the fourth degree of flow-sensitive deformation less than the third degree of flow-sensitive deformation, the second actuating bladder 200 will flex to the side of the fourth actuating diaphragm 220 when it is elastically deformed by the inflation fluid.

Because the fourth actuation membrane 220 is disposed adjacent to the first actuation membrane 110 such that the bending directions of the first and

second actuation bladders

100, 200 are the same, in some embodiments, a superimposed gain in actuation force may be achieved. That is, it may be advantageous to increase the actuation strength of the bendable components, enhancing the massage strength.

The third flow-sensitive deformation degree and the first flow-sensitive deformation degree can be the same or different, and similarly, the fourth flow-sensitive deformation degree and the second flow-sensitive deformation degree can be the same or different, and in different embodiments, the third flow-sensitive deformation degree and the second flow-sensitive deformation degree can be adjusted according to specific conditions.

The second actuator bladder 200 is specifically configured in reference to the first actuator bladder 100, such that the third actuator membrane 210 includes a plurality of sequentially connected third actuator segments (e.g., when three, a seventh membrane segment 211, an eighth membrane segment 212, and a ninth membrane segment 213, respectively); for example, the fourth diaphragm 220 can include a plurality of sequentially connected fourth actuation segments (e.g., when three, a tenth diaphragm segment 221, an eleventh diaphragm segment 222, and a twelfth diaphragm segment 223, respectively); for example, the fluid inlet of the second actuating bladder 200 may be provided at one end portion or the middle portion thereof; a diaphragm may be disposed within second actuating bladder 200 to divide the interior chamber of second actuating bladder 200 into a plurality of actuating chambers; etc., which need not be described in detail herein.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, when the first actuating diaphragm 110 includes a plurality of first actuating segments connected in sequence, the second actuating diaphragm 120 includes a plurality of second actuating segments connected in sequence, the third actuating diaphragm 210 includes a plurality of third actuating segments connected in sequence, and the fourth actuating diaphragm 220 includes a plurality of fourth actuating segments connected in sequence, the plurality of first actuating segments, the plurality of second actuating segments, the plurality of third actuating segments, and the plurality of fourth actuating segments can be uniformly and correspondingly arranged (i.e., a first actuating segment corresponds to a second actuating segment, a third actuating segment, and a fourth actuating segment).

It is noted that, in some embodiments, when multiple actuation chambers are partitioned within first actuation bladder 100 and multiple actuation chambers are partitioned within second actuation bladder 200, the multiple actuation chambers within first actuation bladder 100 may be arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple actuation chambers within second actuation bladder 200.

As shown in fig. 13 and 14, in some embodiments, the diaphragms within the first actuation bladder 100 are provided with two and respectively first and

second diaphragms

160 and 170 to divide the interior chamber of the first actuation bladder 100 into three actuation chambers, respectively a first actuation chamber 130, a second actuation chamber 150, and a third actuation chamber 180.

The diaphragms in the second actuating bladder 200 are provided with two and respectively a third diaphragm 231 and a fourth diaphragm 232 to divide the inner chamber of the second actuating bladder 200 into three actuating chambers, respectively a fourth actuating chamber 251, a fifth actuating chamber 252 and a sixth actuating chamber 253, which are arranged in sequence.

Wherein the fourth actuation cavity 251 is disposed corresponding to the first actuation cavity 111, the fifth actuation cavity 252 is disposed corresponding to the second actuation cavity 150, and the sixth actuation cavity 253 is disposed corresponding to the third actuation cavity 180.

Specifically, in this embodiment, the first to third actuation chambers 111 to 180 are formed by partitioning the first actuation bladder 100, the second actuation bladder 200 is partitioned into the fourth to sixth actuation chambers 251 to 253, and the fourth actuation chamber 251 is disposed in correspondence with the first actuation chamber 111 so that actuation of the fourth actuation chamber 251 and the first actuation chamber 111 can be superimposed; arranging the fifth actuation cavity 252 in correspondence with the second actuation cavity 150, so that the actuation of the fifth actuation cavity 252 and the second actuation cavity 150 can be superimposed; the sixth actuation cavity 253 is arranged corresponding to the third actuation cavity 180, so that the actuation of the sixth actuation cavity 253 and the third actuation cavity 180 can be superimposed, and the actuation force can be increased.

In a specific application, air inlets may be provided for the first to sixth actuation cavities 111 to 253, respectively. As shown in FIG. 14, it is also possible to provide a fluid inlet on each of the first and

second actuating bladders

100 and 200, and a fluid valve on the diaphragm; for example, the first diaphragm 160 is provided with a first fluid valve 161, the second diaphragm 170 is provided with a second fluid valve 171, the third diaphragm 231 is provided with a third fluid valve 233, and the fourth diaphragm 232 is provided with a fourth fluid valve 235.

As shown in fig. 15, a plurality of fluid inlets respectively corresponding to the plurality of actuating chambers of the first actuating bladder 100 and the second actuating bladder 200 may be further provided on one of the first actuating bladder 100 and the second actuating bladder 200, and a plurality of communication ports 500 may be provided between the adjacent fourth actuating membrane 220 and the first actuating membrane 110 to respectively communicate the plurality of actuating chambers of the first actuating bladder 100 with the plurality of actuating chambers of the second actuating bladder 200.

Alternatively, a fluid inlet may be provided in one of the first and

second actuating bladders

100 and 200, fluid valves may be provided in the diaphragms (e.g., a first fluid valve 161 provided in the first diaphragm 160, a second fluid valve 171 provided in the second diaphragm 170, a third fluid valve 233 provided in the third diaphragm 231, and a fourth fluid valve 235 provided in the fourth diaphragm 232), and a plurality of communication ports 500 may be provided in adjacent

fourth actuating diaphragms

220 and 110 to communicate the plurality of actuating chambers of the first actuating bladder 100 with the plurality of actuating chambers of the second actuating bladder 200, respectively.

In some embodiments, to improve the structural stability of the bendable assembly 10 and the stable output of actuation, the fourth actuation diaphragm 220 may be the same actuation diaphragm as the first actuation diaphragm 110, i.e., both may be integrally formed. In this manner, first and

second actuating bladders

100, 200 may share a common actuating membrane.

Alternatively, the thickness of the first and

fourth actuation diaphragms

110, 220 may be comparable to the thickness of the second and

third actuation diaphragms

120, 210.

It will be appreciated that when second actuation bladder 200 and first actuation bladder 100 are integrally formed, the third degree of flow-sensitive deformation is greater than the fourth degree of flow-sensitive deformation (the first degree of flow-sensitive deformation), and the fourth degree of flow-sensitive deformation (the first degree of flow-sensitive deformation) is greater than the second degree of flow-sensitive deformation. In this manner, it is possible to ensure that the actuation directions of the first and

second actuating bladders

100 and 200 are the same.

Referring to fig. 15 and 16, to solve the problem of mechanical setback of the prior actuating method, the present invention further provides a bendable assembly 10 comprising:

a driving capsule 700, a capsule wall of the driving capsule 700 having elasticity;

a driving sleeve 600, wherein the driving sleeve 600 is disposed outside the driving capsule 700, the driving sleeve 600 comprises a first driving portion 610 and a second driving portion 620, the first driving portion 610 has a fifth flow-sensitive deformation degree, and the second driving portion 620 has a sixth flow-sensitive deformation degree; the sixth flow-sensitive deformation degree is greater than the fifth flow-sensitive deformation degree (i.e., the fifth flow-sensitive deformation degree is greater than the sixth flow-sensitive deformation degree), so that when the driving bladder 700 is filled with a fluid, the driving bladder 700 is bent toward the side where the second driving portion 620 is located by the driving sleeve 600. Wherein each of the first and

second driving portions

610 and 620 optionally extend in a lengthwise direction of the driving bladder 700.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the driving bladder 700 has a bladder cavity 125, and when the fluid is filled into the bladder cavity 125, the sidewall of the driving bladder 700 is elastically deformed, that is, the driving bladder 700 is expanded, so that the driving sleeve 600 is pressed; the driving sleeve 600 is sleeved outside the driving bladder 700 and elastically deformed along with the expansion of the driving bladder 700.

Since the fifth flow-sensitive deformation degree is greater than the sixth flow-sensitive deformation degree, in the process of elastic deformation of the driving sleeve 600, the first driving portion 610 is more easily elastically deformed than the second driving portion 620, that is, the resistance of the first driving portion 610 against expansion of the driving bladder 700 is smaller than the resistance of the second driving portion 620 against expansion of the driving bladder 700, so that the driving bladder 700 bends toward the side where the second driving portion 620 is located when being elastically deformed.

For example, the first driving portion 610 includes a plurality of first driving sections connected in sequence, and the flow-sensitive deformation degrees of the first driving sections of two adjacent sections are different, and/or the second driving portion 620 includes a plurality of second driving sections connected in sequence, and the flow-sensitive deformation degrees of the second driving sections of two adjacent sections are different, etc., reference may be made to the first actuating diaphragm 110 and the second actuating diaphragm 120 in the above embodiments, and details thereof are not repeated.

Wherein the actuating bladder 700 may be selected as a conventional bladder having all sidewalls with comparable flow-sensitive deformability.

In the present embodiment, since the degree of flow-sensitive deformation of different portions of the driving sleeve 600 is limited, it is not necessary to consider the problem of sealability, and the manufacturing is relatively simple.

It should be noted that other configurations of the actuation bladder 700 of this embodiment may be the same as the corresponding configurations of the first actuation bladder 100 described in the previous embodiments, such as a diaphragm may be disposed within the actuation bladder 700 to divide the actuation bladder into a plurality of actuation chambers, such as the location and manner of fluid inlets, etc.

Wherein, the driving sleeve 600 can be selected as a woven net sleeve or a driving (rubber) cylinder and the like.

In some embodiments, only a portion of the bendable member 10 is disposed in the mounting groove 21, and another portion of the bendable member extends out of the mounting groove 21, wherein the portion extending out of the mounting groove 21 may be one end (e.g., one end having a fluid inlet) of the bendable member 10 in the length direction or one portion of the bendable member 10 in the thickness direction.

Of course, in some embodiments, the mounting groove 21 may not be provided, and the bendable assembly 10 may be directly provided on the surface of the apparatus body 20.

Optionally, the massage apparatus further comprises an air supply device, the air supply device is mounted on the apparatus body and is communicated with the actuating bag or the driving bag of the bendable component. Wherein, the air supply device can be an air pump. Wherein, in some embodiments, the number of the gas supply devices can be set according to the number of the fluid inlets and the like.

Based on the bending deformation principle of the bendable member, it can be applied to other parts of the massage machine, such as the wearing body 800 when it is applied to the neck massage apparatus, as described in detail below.

Specifically, the invention also discloses a massage apparatus, which is a neck massage apparatus, and the neck massage apparatus comprises:

a wearing body 800 having a skin-proximal side facing a massage part, the wearing body 800 including a bendable part 870 extending in a length direction of the wearing body 800, the bendable part 870 including a bendable member; when the

first actuating bladder

100 or 700 of the bendable assembly is filled with fluid, the bendable apparatus bends such that the donning body 800 is configured in a loop; and a massage mechanism 820, the massage mechanism 820 being attached to the wearing body 800.

Specifically, the wearing body 800 may have various structural forms, and the shape and the number of the first actuating bladders 100 or the actuating bladders 700 may be set according to various requirements, and are not particularly limited. The fluid used in the massage apparatus is exemplified by gas, and when the fluid is filled into the first actuating bladder 100 or the driving bladder 700, the volume of the first actuating bladder 100 or the driving bladder 700 is expanded to be in a "tensed state" so that the wearing body 800 becomes a ring shape. After filling the fluid, the first actuating bladder 100 or the actuating bladder 700 may be in a ring shape or a part of a ring shape, which may make the whole wearing body 800 in a ring shape, so that the wearing body 800 may be worn on the neck.

In the idle state, after the fluid in the first actuating bladder 100 and the actuating bladder 700 is discharged, the bendable portion 870 may be folded, so that the portions of the wearing body 800 at both sides of the bendable portion 870 may be brought close to each other to reduce the volume required for storage, thereby facilitating storage and preservation of the wearing body 800.

The form of the massage mechanism 820 may be numerous, and it may be a massage mechanism that includes the bendable assembly 10.

It is understood that when the massage mechanism including the bendable member 10 is employed, in some embodiments, the massage mechanism may be provided in plurality, and the plurality of massage mechanisms may be disposed at least partially in the circumferential length direction of the wearing body 800 in an inclined manner, so that not only a large number of massage structures may be distributed, but also the variety of massage may be increased. In some other embodiments, it can be configured as a "whole face massage mechanism", even if the first actuating bladder 100 or the driving bladder 700 of the bendable assembly 10 of the massage structure extends along the circumference of the wearing body 800 and is distributed over the massage area of the wearing body 800, and the first actuating bladder 100 or the driving bladder 700 of the bendable assembly 10 of the massage structure is provided with a diaphragm to form a plurality of actuating cavities distributed in sequence in the circumference of the wearing body 800, and the specific configuration can be referred to the above embodiments; thus, the whole surface massage mechanism can realize multi-point massage flat.

It will be appreciated that when a massage mechanism including the bendable assembly 10 is employed, the first actuating membrane 110, the third actuating membrane 210, the second actuating membrane 120 and the fourth actuating membrane 220 of the bendable assembly 10 of the massage mechanism may be made rectangular, trapezoidal, kidney-shaped, etc. in cross-section, i.e., it includes the first actuating membrane 110, the third actuating membrane 210, the second actuating membrane 120 and the fourth actuating membrane 220 connected in series, such that the first actuating membrane 110 and the second actuating membrane 120 may be selected.

For another example, the flexible actuator may also be another flexible actuator, such as an electric actuator, where the electric actuator includes at least one electric actuator unit arranged in a stacked manner, the electric actuator unit includes an electro-deformable layer and electrodes arranged in a stacked manner, the electro-deformable layer is provided with multiple layers, two sides of each electro-deformable layer are provided with one electrode, and two adjacent electro-deformable layers share the same electrode; the electrodeformation layer is used for generating deformation when an electric field is applied so as to enable the electric actuating device to have an actuating direction, and two adjacent electrodes are used for forming the electric field; the at least one electrode can be provided with a avoiding hole, the avoiding hole is used for allowing a part of the electrostrictive layer to enter when the electrostrictive layer contracts, namely, the avoiding hole can provide a deformation space for the electrostrictive layer, and if the electrostrictive layer contracts in the thickness direction under the influence of an electric field, the electrostrictive layer can be partially extruded into the avoiding hole. Or, the flexible actuating device can be a photoinduced actuating device, the photoinduced actuating device comprises at least one photoinduced actuating unit which is arranged in a stacked mode, the photoinduced actuating unit comprises a photoinduced shell, a light source and a photoinduced film, a photoinduced hole is formed in the photoinduced shell, the photoinduced film is arranged at the photoinduced hole, the light source is arranged in the photoinduced shell, and the photoinduced film is used for deforming when being irradiated by the light source so as to enable the photoinduced actuating device to have an actuating direction.

It should be noted that, when the massage mechanism is an electric actuator, it can be also referred to as a "whole face massage device", even if it includes a first electro-deformable layer extending along the circumferential length direction of the wearing body 800, and a first electrode and a second electrode respectively disposed at two sides of the first electro-deformable layer, and at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is provided with a plurality of electrodes to form a plurality of independent first electric fields, so that the multi-point vibration massage on the whole face is realized by independently controlling the plurality of first electric fields.

For another example, the actuator can be a linear vibration motor, a flat polarization motor, or a pulsed vibration assembly.

Specifically, the massage mechanism 820 is provided on the skin-near side of the wearing body 800, and the massage mechanism 820 is used to massage the skin at the wearing portion (i.e., the massage portion) when the wearing body 800 is worn on the user.

In this embodiment, by forming the wearing body 800 by using the bendable members, the shape of the wearing body 800 can be fixed in a ring shape having an opening by inflating the bendable members when in use, so that the wearing body can be worn on the neck of the user, and the deformation of the wearing body 800 can be increased, so that the wearing opening of the wearing body 800 can be easily and elastically increased, thereby improving the wearing convenience of the wearing body 800.

Moreover, when the massage apparatus is idle, the fluid in the first actuating bladder 100 or the driving bladder 700 may be discharged, so that the wearing body 800 may be folded to reduce the storage space required to be occupied by the wearing body 800 in the idle state, thereby facilitating the storage, transportation and storage of the massage apparatus.

In addition, when the massage apparatus works, the vibration generated by the massage mechanism 820 can be absorbed by the flexible first actuating bag 100 or the driving bag 700, so as to achieve the effects of vibration reduction and noise reduction.

In a specific embodiment, the wearing body 800 may be formed in different structural forms by designing the number and the position of the bendable parts 870 to meet different user requirements; for example, the wearing body 800 may be made to include a bendable part 870, and support cases 810 connected to both ends of the bendable part 870, respectively; alternatively, for another example, the wearable main body 800 may include two bendable portions 870 and a support shell 810, and the two bendable portions 870 may be provided at two ends of the support shell 810, respectively; alternatively, for another example, the wearing body 800 may include a bendable portion 870 and at least three support shells 810, and any adjacent two of the support shells 810 are connected by the bendable portion 870; and so on. The wearing body 800 having the three configurations will be described in detail below.

First, as shown in fig. 19 and 23, two support shells 810 are located at both ends of the bendable part 870, i.e., the bendable part 870 is located at the middle of the two support shells 810. When the fluid in the bendable portion 870 is discharged, the bendable portion 870 may be folded while the volume of the bendable portion 870 is greatly reduced, so that the portions of the wearing body 800 at both sides of the bendable portion 870 may be close to each other to reduce the volume required for storage.

The massager generally further includes an air pump 830, a battery 850, a control unit 860, and the like, and since the supporting shell 810 has a receiving space, the receiving space can be used for installing the air pump 830, the battery 850, the control unit 860 (the control unit 860 may include a flexible circuit board), and the like.

In some embodiments, in order to balance the weight of the two sides of the bendable part 870 as much as possible, the air pump 830 may be installed in one support case 810, the battery 850 and the control unit 860 may be installed in the other support case 810, and the weight 840 may be provided in the support case 810 having a smaller mass to balance the weight of the two ends.

Wherein air pump 830 is disposed adjacent to flexible portion 870, and inflation end 831 of air pump 830 extends into the middle first actuation bladder 100 or actuation bladder 700 (also via an inflation hose).

It should be noted that, when the massage mechanism is a massage mechanism or a photo-actuated device including the bendable component 10, the massage mechanism further includes an electrical connection wire, which can be partially disposed in the bendable first actuating bladder 100 or the actuating bladder 700, so as to prevent the electrical connection wire from being damaged when the bendable portion 870 is bent and deformed, which is beneficial to improving the working stability of the massage apparatus.

As shown in fig. 19 and 23, the ratio of the circumferential length of the bendable part 870 to the circumferential length of the wearing body 800 may be made greater than or equal to 0.3.

Specifically, the length of the bendable portion 870 may be at least 30% of the circumferential length of the wearing body 800, such as 35%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 80%, or 90%. Set up to account for wearing main part 800 circumference length 30% at least through the length with flexion 870 for the middle part of wearing main part 800 has sufficient length can bending deformation, thereby guarantee that the flexible subassembly has sufficient length to adjust the whole appearance of wearing main part 800, and thus, be favorable to improving the deformability of wearing main part 800 and the travelling comfort after the dress (because the middle part of wearing main part 800 is flexion 870, flexion 870 has very good elastic deformation ability, when wearing main part 800 and wearing at user's neck, appropriate elastic deformation can take place according to the size of user's neck for flexion 870, can ensure the reliability and the stability of the dress of wearing main part 800, can guarantee the travelling comfort that the user dressed again).

In one embodiment, the circumferential length of the bendable part 870 accounts for at least 60% of the circumferential length of the wearing body 800, and the massage mechanism is installed inside the bendable part 870. At this time, when the massage mechanism 820 is a pulse vibration module, the electrode pads of the pulse vibration module may be directly formed on the skin-near side of the first actuating bladder 100 or the driving bladder 700 by plating or the like.

In the wearing body 800 having this structure, when the massage mechanism 820 is a mechanical massage mechanism 820 (e.g., a flexible actuator, a linear vibration motor, a polarization vibration motor, or the like), the bendable portion 870 may further include a bendable sheet provided on the skin-proximal side (i.e., the inner side) of the first actuator capsule 100 or the drive capsule 700, and the massage mechanism 820 may be provided on the skin-proximal side of the bendable sheet.

The flexible sheet may be an elastic metal sheet, or a hard plastic sheet. The bendable tabs may be bent according to the bending deformation of the first actuating bladder 100 or the actuating bladder 700.

As such, the provision of the flexible sheet facilitates increasing the strength of the first actuation bladder 100 or the drive bladder 700 on the skin-proximal side, thereby providing reliable support for the mechanical massage mechanism 820 to enable efficient and accurate actuation of the massage mechanism 820 to the user. Therefore, through the arrangement of the bendable pieces, the mechanical massage mechanism 820 can effectively and accurately transmit the actuation to the user when in work, and the massage effect is improved.

Of course, in other embodiments, the skin-proximal side of the first actuator bag 100 or the actuator bag 700 may be integrally formed with a mounting protrusion, and the mechanical massage mechanism 820 may be mounted on the mounting protrusion, which may also form a reliable support for the massage mechanism 820.

Second, as shown in fig. 24, the number of the bendable parts 870 is two, and the support case 810 is located between the two bendable parts 870.

The support case 810 has a receiving space for installing the air pump 830, the battery 850, the control unit 860, and the like. In some embodiments, in order to balance the weight of both ends of the support case 810 as much as possible, an air pump 830 may be installed at one end of the support case 810, a battery 850 and a control unit 860 may be installed at the other end, and a weight block 840 may be provided in the end having the smaller mass to balance the weight of both ends.

In a specific embodiment, two air pumps may be provided to correspond to the two bendable portions 870; an air passage 811 may be provided in the middle support case 810 to communicate the first actuating bladders 100 or the driving bladders 700 at both ends, and in this case, only one air pump 830 may be required to inflate or deflate the first actuating bladders 100 or the driving bladders 700.

When the fluid in the bendable portions 870 at both ends is discharged, the bendable portions 870 can be folded while the volume of the bendable portions 870 is greatly reduced. Therefore, the size of the wearable main body 800 is greatly reduced, and the bendable part 870 is in a "loose state" to protect the flexible bendable part 870 and prevent the bendable part 870 from being damaged by external environmental factors, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the bendable part 870.

Meanwhile, when the bendable part 870 is filled with the fluid to expand, the bendable parts 870 at both ends can clamp the neck of the user very much, thereby ensuring that the massage apparatus can be worn stably. Meanwhile, in the wearing process of the massager, the inflation degree (expansion degree) of the first actuating bag 100 or the driving bag 700 can be adjusted according to the instruction of the user, so that the wearing tightness can be adjusted.

For example, when the user feels that the two bendable portions 870 have comfortably clamped the neck, the air pump 830 may be controlled to stop supplying air to maintain the current comfort level; when the user feels that the force with which the two bendable portions 870 grip the neck is excessive, a portion of the gas in the first actuation bladder 100 or the actuation bladder 700 may be exhausted. Of course, in some embodiments, a pressure sensor may be disposed on the skin-friendly side, the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the air pump 830, and when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor reaches a preset pressure, the air pump 830 stops inflating; alternatively, the air pump 830 is controlled to inflate according to the pressure detected by the pressure sensor.

As shown in fig. 24, the ratio of the circumferential length of the support shell 810 to the circumferential length of the wearing body 800 is greater than or equal to 0.3.

Specifically, the length of the supporting shell 810 can be at least 30% of the circumference of the wearing main body 800, such as 35%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 65%, or 70%.

As such, by setting the length of the supporting shell 810 to be at least 30% of the circumference of the wearing body 800, the middle of the wearing body 800 has enough length to act on the bendable parts 870 at both ends (in the case that the two bendable parts 870 have equal length, the length of each bendable part 870 is less than 40% of the circumference of the wearing body 800), so as to ensure the acting force of the supporting shell 810 on the bendable parts 870, ensure that the two bendable parts 870 can well "hold" the neck, and avoid that the wearing body 800 cannot be reliably worn on the neck due to the excessively soft bendable parts 870. Therefore, the support shell 810 having a sufficiently long length is advantageous to improve the stability of the wearing body 800 worn on the neck. Also, the support case 810 has a sufficient inner space to install the air pump, the battery, the control board, and the like.

Third, as shown in fig. 25, the number of the support shells 810 is at least three, and a bendable portion 870 is provided between any adjacent two support shells 810. So, can realize that multistage bendable portion 870 is folding to can realize "coil the effect of wearing main part 800", in order to be suitable for required specific work condition.

It is noted that the air pump 830 may be disposed within one of the support housings 810 and adjacent to either the first actuating bladder 100 or the actuating bladder 700, with the air outlet end of the air pump 830 extending into either the first actuating bladder 100 or the actuating bladder 700. There may be a plurality of air pumps 830, that is, one air pump 830 for each first actuation bladder 100 or actuation bladder 700. The number of the air pumps 830 may be one, the air pumps 830 may supply air to any first actuating bladders 100 or driving bladders 700, and all the first actuating bladders 100 or driving bladders 700 are communicated through air passing channels 811, wherein the air passing channels 811 may be opened on the support shell 810 between two adjacent first actuating bladders 100 or driving bladders 700. In some embodiments, two adjacent first actuating bladders 100 or actuating bladders 700 may communicate through a trachea, and at this time, a gas passing channel 811 is formed on the trachea.

Of course, in other embodiments, the folded bendable portion 870 may be received in the supporting shell 810, or partially received in the supporting shell 810.

There are many ways to improve the mounting stability and reliability of the bendable portion 870, and the following description will be given by way of example.

The connecting block 880 may be provided with a through hole for communicating the supporting shell 810 with the first actuating bladder 100 or the driving bladder 700, and the through hole may allow an air inlet pipe of the air pump 830 to extend from the supporting shell 810 into the first actuating bladder 100 or the driving bladder 700, or allow fluid to pass through. The connecting sleeve 890 may be a silicone sleeve or a net sleeve. It should be noted that the connection sleeve 890 may be sleeved with a part of the bendable portion 870, or may be sleeved with all of the bendable portions 870, and specifically, may be set according to actual working conditions.
