It will also be understood that when an element is referred to as being "fixed" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may also be present.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a massaging device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 12, a driving mechanism 14, a plurality of cams 16, a plurality of levers 18, and a plurality of elastic restoring members 62. The drive mechanism 14 includes an outer gear ring 34 movably mounted to the housing 12 and rotatable relative to the housing 12. The cams 16 are movably mounted on the housing 12, and the cams 16 are spaced apart along the rotation direction of the outer ring gear 34 and are in driving connection with the outer ring gear 34, so that the outer ring gear 34 can simultaneously drive the cams 16 to rotate relative to the housing 12. The plurality of levers 18 are movably mounted to the housing 12, the levers 18 include a driving end 20 and a connecting end 22, the driving end 20 is capable of cooperating with the corresponding cam 16 to be driven by the cam 16, and the connecting end 22 is located at an end of the levers 18 away from the cam 16 and is used for connecting with the massage head. The cam 16 is rotatable to abut the respective drive end 20 and drive the respective lever 18 to oscillate the connecting end 22 of the respective lever 18 in a first direction. The resilient return member 62 is configured to drive the connecting end 22 of the lever 18 to oscillate in the second direction after the lever 18 is disengaged from the driving end 20 of the corresponding cam 16. After the cam 16 abuts against the driving end 20 of the shift lever 18 in the rotation process, the driving end 20 of the shift lever 18 blocks the cam 16, so that the cam 16 can push the shift lever 18 to swing relative to the housing 12 in rotation, the connecting end 22 of the shift lever 18 swings in the first direction, and the elastic reset piece 62 deforms. After the cam 16 is separated from the driving end 20 of the driving lever 18, that is, the driving end 20 no longer forms a block to the driving lever 18, the driving lever 18 swings in the opposite direction relative to the housing 12 under the elastic force of the elastic reset piece 62, and the connecting end 22 of the driving lever 18 swings in the second direction.

The first direction and the second direction are opposite directions, the first direction is one of inward and outward, and the second direction is the other of inward and outward, in this embodiment, inward means a direction along a radial direction of the outer ring gear 34 toward the center of the circle, and outward means a direction away from the center of the circle along the radial direction of the outer ring gear 34. When the connecting ends 22 of the levers 18 swing outwards, the connecting ends 22 of the levers 18 open outwards, i.e. the connecting ends of the levers 18 are far away from each other; when the connecting ends 22 of the levers 18 are swung inward, the connecting ends 22 of the levers 18 are folded inward, i.e., the connecting ends 22 of the levers 18 are close to each other. One of the cam 16 and the elastic reset piece 62 drives the connecting end 22 of the deflector 18 to swing inwards, the other of the cam 16 and the elastic reset piece 62 drives the connecting end 22 of the deflector 18 to swing outwards, so that the connecting ends of the deflector 18 are folded inwards or unfolded outwards, and further the massage heads connected with the connecting ends 22 are driven to fold inwards or unfolded outwards, and the pinch action of fingers is simulated, so that a massage effect is formed. The connection end of the lever 18 swings inwardly or outwardly relative to the housing 12, which reduces the problem of hair being entangled on the lever or the massage head by the user's hair during use of the massage device 10, and makes the massage device 10 suitable for users with long hair and short hair, as compared to the manner in which the lever 18 follows the cam 16 to rotate along the circumferential direction of the outer gear ring 34.

That is, each resilient return member 62 is coupled to a corresponding one of the levers 18 to urge the link ends 22 of the levers 18 to swing inwardly.

The specific type of the elastic restoring member 62 is not limited, and in this embodiment, the elastic restoring member 62 is a spring, and the spring is connected between the housing 12 and the lever 18. When the cam 16 drives the corresponding lever 18 to cause the connecting end 22 of the lever 18 to swing outwardly, the lever 18 stretches the spring, thereby causing the spring to exert a stretching force, so that when the lever 18 is separated from the cam 16, the spring can cause the lever 18 to swing inwardly by the stretching force.

The specific location of the spring is not limited, and may be located between the main casing 24 and the bottom casing 28, or may be located on a side of the bottom casing 28 away from the main casing 24. In this embodiment, the spring is located between the main casing 24 and the bottom casing 28, and the portion of the lever 18 connected to the spring is located between the ball head 56 and the rotating shaft 58, so when the cam 16 drives the lever 18 to swing, the driving end 20 of the lever 18 swings inwards, the connecting end 22 of the lever 18 swings outwards, and the lever 18 stretches the spring; after the driving end 20 of the deflector rod 18 is separated from the cam 16, the deflector rod 18 can swing relative to the shell 12 under the action of the elastic force of the spring, so that the driving end 20 of the deflector rod 18 swings outwards, and the connecting end 22 of the deflector rod 18 swings inwards, thereby realizing the resetting effect.

In other embodiments, when the spring is located at one side of the bottom shell away from the main shell, the spring can be connected to the outer side of the deflector rod in the radial direction of the shell, so that when the cam drives the deflector rod to swing, the connecting end of the deflector rod swings outwards, the deflector rod compresses the spring, and when the cam is separated from the driving end of the deflector rod, the deflector rod can swing inwards under the driving of the compression force of the spring, and the reset effect can be realized.

The manner of connection between the spring and the lever 18 and the housing 12 is not limited as long as the cam 16 compresses or stretches the spring as it drives the lever 18 to oscillate. As shown in fig. 7, in this embodiment, the two ends of the spring are respectively provided with a first hook 64, the lever 18 and the housing 12 are respectively provided with a second hook 66 which is matched with the corresponding first hook 64, that is, the lever 18 and the housing 12 are both provided with the second hook 66, the first hook 64 at one end of the spring is matched with the second hook 66 on the lever 18, and the first hook 64 at the other end of the spring is matched with the second hook 66 on the housing 12.

In other embodiments, the first hooks are respectively arranged at two ends of the spring, and the hanging holes are correspondingly arranged on the shell and the deflector rod, so that the first hooks at two ends of the spring respectively penetrate through the hanging holes on the shell and the deflector rod, and the effect of stretching or compressing the spring when the cam drives the deflector rod to swing can be achieved.

In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the resilient return member 62 may also be a torsion spring disposed along the rotational axis of the lever 18. For example, the torsion spring is sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 58, and one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected with the deflector rod 18, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixed relative to the housing 12, i.e. is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 58, the main housing 24 or the bottom housing 28. When the cam 16 drives the lever 18 to swing relative to the housing 12, the torsion spring cannot follow the lever 18 because the two ends of the torsion spring are fixed relative to the lever 18 and the housing 12, respectively, and the lever 18 deforms the torsion spring to provide a restoring force for the connecting end 22 of the lever 18 to swing inward.

According to the massage device disclosed by the invention, the connecting end of the poking rod can swing outwards and inwards under the action of the cam and the elastic reset piece, so that the massage head connected to the connecting end of the poking rod is driven to move, the massage head is folded inwards or opened outwards, the action of grabbing by hands is simulated, and a massage effect is formed.
