B. über das Bluetooth-Protokoll, die als Liebeskugeln ausgebildet sind. Derartige Liebeskugeln sind in der EP 3 042 643 A1 offenbart. Weiterhin sind Vibratoren mit direkter Steuerung bekannt, auf die zusätzliche Außenelemente zur Verstärkung der Vibrationswirkung aufgesteckt werden können.Massage devices of the type mentioned are commonly known as vibrators, which are available in different shapes and sizes. These include battery-operated vibrators with direct control or control by cable and vibrators with remote control, e.g. B. via the Bluetooth protocol, which are designed as love balls. Such love balls are in the EP 3 042 643 A1 disclosed. Furthermore, vibrators with direct control are known, onto which additional external elements can be attached to reinforce the vibration effect.

Nachteilig an der Mehrzahl der oben genannten Vibratoren ist, dass sie außen nur eine einzige, bei der Herstellung festgelegte Form aufweisen und damit keinerlei Flexibilität bieten. Benutzer, die eine andere Form des Vibrators wünschen, kommen nicht umhin, sich weitere Vibratoren der gleichen Art zu beschaffen, was zusätzliche Kosten verursacht.The disadvantage of the majority of the vibrators mentioned above is that they only have a single shape on the outside that was defined during manufacture and therefore offer no flexibility at all. Users who want a different form of vibrator cannot avoid purchasing other vibrators of the same type, which incurs additional costs.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die oben genannten Nachteile zumindest teilweise zu überwinden und eine fernsteuerbare Massagevorrichtung bereitzustellen, die eine günstige Herstellung, eine zuverlässige flüssigkeitsfeste Funktion, eine flexibel anpassbare äußere Form der die Vibration übertragenden Bestandteile, ein einfaches Aufladen der Energiespeicher und eine flexible Steuerung mittels aktueller drahtloser Datenübertragungstechnologien ermöglicht.It is therefore the object of the present invention to at least partially overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages and to provide a remotely controllable massage device that is inexpensive to manufacture, reliable, liquid-proof function, a flexibly adaptable outer shape of the components transmitting the vibration, simple charging of the energy store and enables flexible control using current wireless data transmission technologies.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the subject matter with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß bereitgestellt wird eine fernsteuerbare Massagevorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1.According to the invention there is provided a remotely controllable massage device according to claim 1.

Damit wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, eine modulare Massagevorrichtung sehr kostengünstig herzustellen, weil durch die Modularität keine speziell an die Geometrie des Vibrationserzeugungsteils angepassten Bauteile mehr konzipiert werden müssen. Für unterschiedliche Einsatzzwecke der Massagevorrichtung kann nunmehr eine gemeinsame technische Plattform für die Vibrationserzeugung, Steuerung, Stromversorgung und Datenkommunikation verwendet werden. Weiterhin ergibt sich für den Endkunden der Vorteil, dass er eine Vielzahl von Vibrationsaufnahmeteilen oder Aufsätzen für ein Vibrationserzeugungsteil verwenden kann und somit erheblich weniger Anschaffungskosten anfallen. Nahezu sämtliche Formen von Sexspielzeug sind als Formen für das Vibrationsaufnahmeteil denkbar, wobei jede einzelne Form des Vibrationsaufnehmeteils mit dem Vibrationserzeugungsteil kompatibel ist. Auch wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen, mehr als ein Vibrationsaufnahmeteil auf einem Vibrationserzeugungsteil anzuordnen, wodurch der Fantasie bei der Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Massagevorrichtung kaum Grenzen gesetzt sind. Durch die flexibel einsetzbare Fernsteuerung wird die Bedienung erheblich komfortabler, was den Kundennutzen signifikant erhöht.This creates the possibility of producing a modular massage device very inexpensively because the modularity means that no components specially adapted to the geometry of the vibration generating part need to be designed. For different purposes of the massage device, a common technical platform can now be used for vibration generation, control, power supply and data communication. Furthermore, there is the advantage for the end customer that he can use a large number of vibration receiving parts or attachments for a vibration generating part and thus significantly lower acquisition costs. Almost all shapes of sex toys are conceivable as shapes for the vibration receiving part, each individual shape of the vibration receiving part being compatible with the vibration generating part. The possibility is also created of arranging more than one vibration receiving part on a vibration generating part, so that there are hardly any limits to the imagination when using the massage device according to the invention. The flexible remote control makes operation much more convenient, which significantly increases customer benefits.

Mit besonderem Vorteil ist das Steckelement flach und sind die Ladeelektroden als USB kompatibel ausgebildet. Mit der USB Technologie kann ein sehr weit verbreitetes Verfahren zum Aufladen des Energiespeichers oder auch zur Datenübertragung verwendet werden. Das flache Steckelement weist dabei eine ähnliche Konfiguration wie die eines USB-A Steckers auf, der in eine entsprechende USB Buchse nach Art eines USB-Sticks eingeführt werden kann. Derartige Anschlussbuchsen sind an einer Vielzahl von Geräten vorhanden, beispielsweise an PCs, Laptops, Notebooks, Tabletcomputern, Stromnetzteilen (für 12/110/120/220 V) und dergleichen, und stellen gemäß USB Standard einen ausreichenden Ladestrom zur Verfügung (z. B. bis zu 500 mA bei 5V nach USB 2.0).The plug-in element is particularly advantageously flat and the charging electrodes are designed as USB compatible. With the USB technology, a very widespread method can be used to charge the energy storage device or to transfer data. The flat plug-in element has a configuration similar to that of a USB-A plug, which can be inserted into a corresponding USB socket in the manner of a USB stick. Such connection sockets are available on a large number of devices, for example on PCs, laptops, notebooks, tablet computers, power supply units (for 12/110/120/220 V) and the like, and provide a sufficient charging current in accordance with the USB standard (e.g. up to 500 mA at 5V according to USB 2.0).

Bevorzugt sind die Ladeelektroden und die Leiterplattenantenne auf einer Leiterplatte angeordnet. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Ladeelektroden auf der einen Seite und die Leiterplattenantenne auf der anderen Seite der Leiterplatte angeordnet sind. Die Leiterplattenantenne, auch gedruckte Antenne genannt, ist beispielsweise so ausgebildet, dass sie sich in beliebiger Form preisgünstig als Kupferschicht auf einer herkömmlichen Leiterplatte aufbringen lässt. Dadurch lässt sich ein kompaktes Bauteil erzielen, wodurch Platz und damit Kosten eingespart werden können. Alternativ können die Ladeelektroden und die Leiterplattenantenne auf derselben Seite der Leiterplatte angeordnet sein. Dadurch ergibt sich ein noch einfacherer Aufbau des Steckelements. Es ist ebenfalls möglich, die Ladeelektroden auf beiden Seiten der Platine anzuordnen, so dass das Steckelement benutzerfreundlich in allen (beiden) Orientierungen in eine USB-Buchse oder entsprechende andere Ladebuchse eingesteckt werden kann. Dazu ist eine Logik erforderlich, die Pluspol und Minuspol entsprechend erkennt.The charging electrodes and the circuit board antenna are preferably arranged on a circuit board. It is advantageous if the charging electrodes are arranged on one side and the circuit board antenna on the other side of the circuit board. The circuit board antenna, also called a printed antenna, is designed, for example, in such a way that it can be applied inexpensively in any form as a copper layer on a conventional circuit board. As a result, a compact component can be achieved, whereby space and thus costs can be saved. Alternatively, the charging electrodes and the circuit board antenna can be arranged on the same side of the circuit board. This results in an even simpler construction of the plug element. It is also possible to arrange the charging electrodes on both sides of the circuit board so that the plug-in element can be plugged into a USB socket or other corresponding charging socket in a user-friendly manner in all (both) orientations. This requires a logic that recognizes the positive and negative poles accordingly.

Mit weiterem Vorteil ist die Leiterplattenantenne für das Senden und Empfangen von Funksignalen nach Bluetooth (nach IEEE 802.15.1), NFC (Near Field Communication), WLAN (nach IEEE 802.11), GSM, UMTS, LTE oder einem anderen mobilen Datenübertragungsstandard geeignet.The circuit board antenna is also suitable for sending and receiving radio signals according to Bluetooth (according to IEEE 802.15.1), NFC (Near Field Communication), WLAN (according to IEEE 802.11), GSM, UMTS, LTE or another mobile data transmission standard.

Vorteilhafter Weise sind das Vibrationserzeugungsteil, das Kabel, der Übergang zwischen Vibrationserzeugungsteil und Kabel sowie das Steckelement flüssigkeitsfest ausgebildet. Damit genügen nicht nur das Vibrationserzeugungsteil, das beispielsweise zusammen mit dem Vibrationsaufnahmeteil in eine Körperöffnung eingeführt wird, sondern auch die Rückholschnur bzw. das Kabel sowie das Steckelement den Hygienevorschriften, die für derartige Vorrichtungen gelten, z.B. IP67 (DIN EN 60528). Vibrationserzeugungsteil, Kabel und Steckelement sind damit mit einfachen Mitteln reinigbar und bieten keine Öffnungen, in die Flüssigkeit derart eindringen könnte, so dass die Funktion der Massagevorrichtung beeinträchtigt ist.The vibration generating part, the cable, the transition between the vibration generating part and the cable and the plug-in element are advantageously designed to be liquid-proof. Thus, not only the vibration generating part, which is inserted into a body opening, for example together with the vibration receiving part, but also the retrieval cord or the cable as well as the plug element satisfy the hygiene regulations that apply to such devices, e.g. IP67 (DIN EN 60528). The vibration generating part, cable and plug-in element can thus be cleaned with simple means and do not offer any openings into which liquid could penetrate in such a way that the function of the massage device is impaired.

Es ist bevorzugt, dass das Kabel zwei Stränge aufweist. Insbesondere ist es von Vorteil, dass mindestens ein Kabelstrang als Koaxialkabel ausgebildet ist. Damit ist gewährleistet, dass das hochfrequente Antennensignal möglichst wenig Störsignalen ausgesetzt ist und ausreichend abgeschirmt zur drahtlosen Datenkommunikationseinrichtung im Inneren des Gehäuses des Vibrationserzeugungsteils übertragen werden kann. Die Beeinflussung durch den Stromfluss aufgrund der USB Ladespannungsquelle (Gleichspannung) ist damit so gering wie möglich.It is preferred that the cable has two strands. In particular, it is advantageous that at least one cable harness is designed as a coaxial cable. This ensures that the high-frequency antenna signal is exposed to as few interference signals as possible and can be transmitted to the wireless data communication device in the interior of the housing of the vibration generating part in a sufficiently shielded manner. The influencing through the current flow due to the USB charging voltage source (direct voltage) is as low as possible.

Mit weiterem Vorteil ist das Vibrationserzeugungsteil mittels einer Presspassung in der Öffnung des Vibrationsaufnahmeteils aufgenommen. Damit ist für eine ausreichende Haltefunktion gesorgt, die durch die Vibrationen des Vibrationserzeugungsteils im Wesentlichen kaum beeinträchtigt wird. Die Massagevorrichtung wirkt damit im Betrieb als eine feste Einheit, ist jedoch zum Reinigen bzw. Austauschen des Vibrationsaufnahmeteils modular aufgebaut.With a further advantage, the vibration generating part is received in the opening of the vibration receiving part by means of a press fit. This ensures a sufficient holding function which is essentially hardly impaired by the vibrations of the vibration generating part. The massage device thus acts as a fixed unit during operation, but has a modular structure for cleaning or replacing the vibration receiving part.

Bevorzugt ist das Vibrationsaufnahmeteil aus Silikon, TPE oder einem anderen geeigneten thermoplastischen Kunststoff gebildet ist. Diese Materialien sind in hygienischer Hinsicht unkritisch und weisen eine für die Anwendung am bzw. im Körper angenehme und damit besonders gut geeignete Haptik auf.The vibration receiving part is preferably made of silicone, TPE or another suitable thermoplastic material. These materials are not critical from a hygienic point of view and have a feel that is pleasant and therefore particularly suitable for use on or in the body.

Mit besonderem Vorteil sind der Energiespeicher und die Schwingungserzeugungsvorrichtung in Längsrichtung des Gehäuses hintereinander angeordnet. Dadurch ergeben sich eine Platzersparnis und gleichzeitig die Möglichkeit, günstige Bauteile einzusetzen. In ähnlicher Weise kann in Längsrichtung des Gehäuses parallel zu dem Energiespeicher eine Platine angeordnet sein, die die Steuereinrichtung und die drahtlose Datenkommunikationseinrichtung umfasst.The energy store and the vibration generating device are particularly advantageously arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the housing. This results in a space saving and at the same time the possibility of using inexpensive components. In a similar way, a circuit board which comprises the control device and the wireless data communication device can be arranged parallel to the energy store in the longitudinal direction of the housing.

Weiterhin erfindungsgemäß ist eine Massageanordnung mit einer entfernten Bedieneinrichtung und mindestens einer Massagevorrichtung wie oben beschrieben, wobei die entfernte Bedieneinrichtung geeignet ist, jede der mindestens einen Massagevorrichtung(en) getrennt voneinander oder zumindest teilweise gemeinsam zu steuern. Dies bedeutet, dass mit einer entfernten Bedieneinrichtung, die vorzugsweise als Smartphone ausgebildet ist, mehr als eine erfindungsgemäße Massagevorrichtung gesteuert werden kann, und dies optional mit unterschiedlichen Abläufen. So kann die Anwendung bzw. App eines Smartphones beispielsweise drei Massagevorrichtungen steuern, zwei davon mit demselben Vibrationsprogramm und eines mit einem anderen Vibrationsprogramm.Also according to the invention is a massage arrangement with a remote operating device and at least one massage device as described above, the remote operating device being suitable for controlling each of the at least one massage device (s) separately from one another or at least partially jointly. This means that more than one massage device according to the invention can be controlled with a remote operating device, which is preferably designed as a smartphone, and this optionally with different processes. For example, the application or app of a smartphone can control three massage devices, two of them with the same vibration program and one with a different vibration program.

Bevorzugt weist das Steckelement auf seiner Oberfläche einen Griffbereich auf. Der Griffbereich ist dabei in der Nähe des Endes des Steckelements ausgebildet, an dem das Kabel bzw. die Strangenden mit dem Steckelement verbunden sind. Damit ist ein einfaches Einstecken und Herausziehen in bzw. aus der Ladebuchse möglich. Der Griffbereich kann durch eine Riffelung oder auch eine Ausbuchtung auf der Oberfläche des Steckelements gebildet sein. Auch andere zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen, die die Funktion des Steckelements und des Antennenelements nicht beeinflussen, sind möglich.The plug element preferably has a grip area on its surface. The grip area is formed in the vicinity of the end of the plug element on which the cable or the strand ends are connected to the plug element. This enables simple insertion and removal in and out of the charging socket. The grip area can be formed by corrugation or also a bulge on the surface of the plug element. Other useful configurations that do not affect the function of the plug-in element and the antenna element are also possible.

Steckelement und/oder Kabel können zumindest teilweise eine biokompatible Kunststoffumhüllung aufweisen. Dadurch werden die Bauteile wie Leiterplatte, Antenne sowie die Verbindungsstellen zu den Kabelsträngen geschützt, z. B. vor Korrosion. Besonders bevorzugt ist es, die biokompatible Kunststoffumhüllung mittels Spritzguss aufzubringen. Dadurch entsteht ein integral ausgebildetes Steckelement, das einer Beeinträchtigung oder Bearbeitung von außen möglichst wenig Angriffsfläche bietet.Plug element and / or cable can at least partially have a biocompatible plastic sheath. This protects the components such as the circuit board, antenna and the connection points to the cable harnesses, e.g. B. from corrosion. It is particularly preferred to apply the biocompatible plastic casing by means of injection molding. This creates an integrally formed plug-in element that offers as little surface area as possible for interference or machining from the outside.

Das Material für die Kunststoffumhüllung und auch das Vibrationserzeugungsteil mit dem Übergang zum Kabel ist vorzugsweise ein thermoplastischer Kunststoff wie z. B. AcrylnitrilButadien-Styrol-Copolymerisat (ABS) oder ein vergleichbarer Kunststoff mit ähnlichen Eigenschaften. Diese thermoplastischen Kunststoffe sind unempfindlich gegenüber handelsüblichen Gleit- und Reinigungsmitteln sowie geschmacks- und geruchsneutral.The material for the plastic sheath and also the vibration generating part with the transition to the cable is preferably a thermoplastic material such as. B. acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) or a comparable plastic with similar properties. These thermoplastic plastics are insensitive to commercially available lubricants and cleaning agents and are tasteless and odorless.

Das Material der Massagevorrichtung ist vorzugsweise UV-fest, geruchs- und geschmacksneutral, wobei auch unterschiedliche Farben verwendet werden können.The material of the massage device is preferably UV-resistant, odorless and tasteless, it also being possible to use different colors.

Die Ladekontakte des Steckelements weisen vorteilhafterweise eine Beschichtung mit einem Metall oder einer Metalllegierung auf, z. B. in Form einer Vergoldung mit Gold oder einer Goldlegierung oder in Form einer Veredelung mit einem anderen Metall oder einer Metalllegierung.The charging contacts of the plug element advantageously have a coating with a metal or a metal alloy, e.g. B. in the form of gilding with gold or a gold alloy or in the form of a refinement with another metal or a metal alloy.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine perspektivische Darstellung einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Massagevorrichtung. Die Massagevorrichtung 1 weist ein im Wesentlichen zylinderförmiges Vibrationserzeugungsteil auf, das in Fig. 1 vollständig in dem Vibrationsaufnahmeteil 10 aufgenommen und deshalb nicht sichtbar ist. An dem einen Ende ist das Vibrationserzeugungsteil über ein Kabel 7, das in der dargestellten Ausführungsform durch zwei Stränge bzw. Adern ausgebildet ist, mit einem Steckelement 9 verbunden. Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a first preferred embodiment of the massage device according to the invention. The massage device 1 has a substantially cylindrical vibration generating part which is shown in FIG Fig. 1 completely received in the vibration receiving part 10 and therefore not visible. At one end, the vibration generating part is connected to a plug-in element 9 via a cable 7, which in the embodiment shown is formed by two strands or wires.

In den Fig. 2 und 3 ist jeweils ein Teil der erfindungsgemäßen Massagevorrichtung dargestellt, wobei das Vibrationsaufnahmeteil 10 weggelassen ist. Damit ist in Fig. 2 das Vibrationserzeugungsteil 3 sichtbar, dessen Gehäuse 2 im Wesentlichen zylinderförmig ausgebildet ist und an seinem einen Ende einen halbkugelartigen Abschluss aufweist. Beispielhafte Dimensionen für das Gehäuse 2 des Vibrationserzeugungsteils 3 sind eine Länge von etwa 50 mm bis etwa 100 mm, in der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform eine Länge von 67 mm, sowie eine Dicke von etwa 10 mm bis 20 mm im Durchmessen, bevorzugt von 17 mm. Die abgerundete Spitze ist so gestaltet, dass das Vibrationserzeugungsteil 3 gut in die Aufnahme bzw. Öffnung des Vibrationsaufnahmeteils 10 einführbar ist. Die Kabel 7 sowie das Steckelement 9 werden weiter unten unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 4 ausführlich beschrieben.In the Figs. 2 and 3 each part of the massage device according to the invention is shown, the vibration receiving part 10 being omitted. This is in Fig. 2 the vibration generating part 3 is visible, the housing 2 of which is essentially cylindrical and has a hemispherical end at one end. Exemplary dimensions for the housing 2 of the vibration generating part 3 are a length of approximately 50 mm to approximately 100 mm, in the embodiment shown here a length of 67 mm, and a thickness of approximately 10 mm to 20 mm in diameter, preferably 17 mm. The rounded tip is designed in such a way that the vibration generating part 3 can be easily introduced into the receptacle or opening of the vibration receiving part 10. The cables 7 and the plug-in element 9 are described below with reference to FIG Fig. 4 described in detail.

Fig. 3 zeigt ähnlich wie Fig. 2 die erfindungsgemäße Massagevorrichtung, wobei das Vibrationsaufnahmeteil 10 sowie das Gehäuse 3 weggelassen ist. Das Vibrationserzeugungsteil 3 weist in dem (nicht in Fig. 3 dargestellten) Gehäuse 2 an einer Aufnahme bzw. einem Gehäuserahmen 5 eine Schwingungserzeugungsvorrichtung 4, einen Energiespeicher 6 sowie eine Platine bzw. Leiterplatte 8 mit einer Steuereinrichtung sowie einer drahtlosen Datenkommunikationseinrichtung auf. Diese dem Fachmann bekannten elektrischen Bauelemente sind im Inneren des Gehäuses 2 entsprechend funktional gekoppelt bzw. elektrisch verbunden, wie dem Fachmann grundsätzlich geläufig ist. Die in Fig. 3 sichtbaren Komponenten sind üblicherweise von dem in Fig. 3 nicht dargestellten Gehäuse 2 abgedeckt, das damit die inneren Bestandteile schützt und an seinem einen Ende mit einer Dichtung bzw. einem O-Ring 14 zu einem Deckel hin flüssigkeitsdicht abgedichtet ist. Üblicherweise ist das Gehäuse 2 auf das mit der Dichtung versehene Deckelende aufgesteckt und damit verklebt. Es sind allerdings auch Rastverbindungen, Gewindeverbindungen oder andere vergleichbare Verbindungen denkbar. Normalerweise ist die Verbindung so ausgestaltet, dass ein einfaches Ablösen des Gehäuses 2 von dem Deckel mit dem Kabeldurchgang nicht möglich ist. Der Durchgang des Kabels 7 durch den Deckel ist ebenfalls flüssigkeitsfest ausgebildet. Fig. 3 shows similar to Fig. 2 the massage device according to the invention, the vibration receiving part 10 and the housing 3 being omitted. The vibration generating part 3 has in the (not in Fig. 3 shown) housing 2 on a receptacle or a housing frame 5, a vibration generating device 4, an energy store 6 and a circuit board or printed circuit board 8 with a control device and a wireless data communication device. These electrical components known to the person skilled in the art are correspondingly functionally coupled or electrically connected in the interior of the housing 2, as is generally known to the person skilled in the art. In the Fig. 3 visible components are usually from the in Fig. 3 Covered housing 2, not shown, which thus protects the internal components and is sealed liquid-tight at one end with a seal or an O-ring 14 to a cover. The housing 2 is usually slipped onto the end of the cover provided with the seal and glued to it. However, locking connections, threaded connections or other comparable connections are also conceivable. Normally, the connection is designed in such a way that it is not possible to simply detach the housing 2 from the cover with the cable passage. The passage of the cable 7 through the cover is also liquid-proof.

Im Betrieb sorgt die vom Energiespeicher 6 versorgte Schwingungserzeugungsvorrichtung 4, beispielsweise ein Elektromotor mit einer auf einer Welle exzentrisch sitzenden Unwucht, dafür, dass das Vibrationserzeugungsteil 3 auf Signale der Steuereinrichtung hin in Schwingungen versetzt wird und vibriert. Die Steuereinrichtung auf der Platine 8 erhält ihre Steuerbefehle über die auch auf der Platine 8 angeordnete drahtlose Datenkommunikationseinrichtung, die ebenfalls vom Energiespeicher 6 mit Leistung versorgt wird und von einer entfernten Bedieneinrichtung, beispielsweise einem Smartphone, einem PC oder einer ähnlichen mobilen Bedienplattform mit geeigneten Funksignalen zur Steuerung versorgt wird. Die Steuereinrichtung kann zusätzlich über eine Datenspeichervorrichtung zur Speicherung von Programmabläufen verfügen, wodurch es möglich ist, die Massagevorrichtung mit intern oder extern erstellten Vibrationsabläufen zu programmieren und zu steuern. In diesem Fall werden die Steuersignale aus der Datenspeichervorrichtung geliefert. Auch eine direkte Steuerung über die entfernte Bedieneinrichtung ist möglich.During operation, the vibration generating device 4 supplied by the energy store 6, for example an electric motor with an unbalance eccentrically seated on a shaft, ensures that the vibration generating part 3 is set into vibrations in response to signals from the control device. The control device on the circuit board 8 receives its control commands via the wireless data communication device also arranged on the circuit board 8, which is also supplied with power from the energy store 6 and from a remote operating device, for example a smartphone, a PC or a similar mobile operating platform with suitable radio signals Control is supplied. The control device can also have a data storage device for storing program sequences, which makes it possible to use the massage device to program and control with internally or externally created vibration sequences. In this case, the control signals are supplied from the data storage device. Direct control via the remote operating device is also possible.

Die Aufnahme 5 ist über die gesamte Längenausdehnung des Vibrationserzeugungsteils 3 beispielweise aus einem thermoplastischen Kunststoffmaterial wie Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS) ausgebildet und weist stegartige Vorsprünge auf, an denen die Bauelemente z. B. durch Klebung, Rastung oder Klemmung befestigt sind. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist der längliche Energiespeicher 6 ausgehend vom deckelnahen Ende angeordnet. In Längsrichtung schließt sich am deckelfernen Ende die Schwingungserzeugungsvorrichtung 4 an. In Längsrichtung parallel zum Energiespeicher 6 ist die Platine 8 mit Steuereinrichtung und drahtloser Datenkommunikationseinrichtung und optional mit Datenspeichereinrichtung angeordnet. Dadurch ergibt sich eine besonders kompakte Bauform des Vibrationserzeugungsteils, wobei die Geometrie es ermöglicht, handelsübliche, in großen Stückzahlen hergestellte Standardbauelemente zu verwenden und die Anpassung an die Struktur der Aufnahme bzw. des Gehäuserahmens 5 so gering wie möglich zu halten.The receptacle 5 is formed over the entire length of the vibration generating part 3, for example from a thermoplastic material such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and has web-like projections on which the components, for. B. are attached by gluing, latching or clamping. In the embodiment shown, the elongated energy store 6 is arranged starting from the end near the cover. The vibration generating device 4 adjoins the end remote from the cover in the longitudinal direction. In the longitudinal direction parallel to the energy store 6, the circuit board 8 is arranged with a control device and wireless data communication device and optionally with a data storage device. This results in a particularly compact design of the vibration generating part, the geometry making it possible to use commercially available standard components produced in large numbers and to keep the adaptation to the structure of the receptacle or the housing frame 5 as low as possible.

Damit die Bauelemente im Inneren des Vibrationserzeugungsteils 3 mit Strom bzw. mit einem Antennensignal versorgt werden und auch ein Signal nach außen senden können, ist das Vibrationserzeugungsteil über ein Kabel 7, das in der dargestellten Ausführungsform durch zwei Stränge bzw. Adern ausgebildet ist, die durch den mit der Dichtung 14 abgedichteten Gehäusedeckel flüssigkeitsdicht hindurchtreten, mit einem Steckelement 9 verbunden.So that the components inside the vibration generating part 3 are supplied with power or an antenna signal and can also send a signal to the outside, the vibration generating part is via a cable 7 which, in the embodiment shown, is formed by two strands or wires that are fed through pass through the housing cover sealed with the seal 14 in a liquid-tight manner, connected to a plug-in element 9.

Unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 4 ist das Steckelement 9 als Flachstecker ausgebildet und weist auf seiner Oberseite zwei in Längsrichtung parallel zueinander angeordnete Ladeelektroden 11 auf, die kompatibel zu einem USB-A Anschluss ausgebildet sind. Bis auf die frei liegenden Ladeelektroden 11 ist das Steckelement 9 mit einer Umhüllung 15 umspritzt, die aus einem thermoplastischen Kunststoffmaterial, beispielsweise Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS), ausgebildet ist. Die Umhüllung 15 weist auf der Oberseite 13 auf der dem Kabel 7 zugewandten Seite einen Griffbereich 17 auf, der in der dargestellten Ausführungsform als Ausbuchtung gebildet ist. Der Griffbereich 17 dient dazu, das Steckelement 9 beim Einstecken in eine entsprechende USB-Buchse bzw. beim Herausnehmen daraus besser handhaben zu können. Etwa in der Mitte der Oberseite 13 des Steckelements 9 ist eine längliche Ausnehmung 16 sichtbar, die daher rührt, dass in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform das Steckelement 9 durch Spritzguss hergestellt ist und das Bauteil entsprechend von einem Werkzeug gehalten werden muss. Die längliche Ausnehmung 16 ist für die Vibrationsfunktion, das Laden oder das Steuern der Massagevorrichtung nicht von Bedeutung, sondern nur für die Herstellung.With reference to Fig. 4 the plug element 9 is designed as a flat plug and has two charging electrodes 11 arranged parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction on its upper side, which are designed to be compatible with a USB-A connection. Except for the exposed charging electrodes 11, the plug-in element 9 is encapsulated with a sheath 15 made of a thermoplastic material, for example acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). The sheath 15 has on the top 13 on the side facing the cable 7 a grip area 17 which is formed as a bulge in the embodiment shown. The grip area 17 serves to be able to handle the plug-in element 9 better when it is inserted into a corresponding USB socket or when it is removed from it. Approximately in the middle of the top 13 of the plug element 9 is a elongated recess 16 visible, which stems from the fact that in the present embodiment the plug-in element 9 is manufactured by injection molding and the component must be held accordingly by a tool. The elongated recess 16 is not important for the vibration function, for loading or for controlling the massage device, but only for production.

Die Figuren 5 und 6 zeigen in Draufsicht die Ober- bzw. Unterseite der Leiterplatte 21 mit den beiden Ladeelektroden 11 bzw. der Leiterplattenantenne 23, die den Kern des Steckelements 9 bilden. Man beachte, dass die Leiterplatte 21 nach Aufbringen des Materials für die Ladeelektroden 11 und die Leiterplattenantenne 23 und nach dem Anschließen der Kabelstränge noch mittels Spritzgussverfahren von einer Kunststoffhülle umspritzt wird und erst damit das vollständige Steckelement 9 gebildet wird.The Figures 5 and 6 show a plan view of the top and bottom of the circuit board 21 with the two charging electrodes 11 and the circuit board antenna 23, which form the core of the plug element 9. Note that after applying the material for the charging electrodes 11 and the circuit board antenna 23 and after connecting the cable strands, the circuit board 21 is encapsulated by an injection molding process with a plastic sleeve and only then is the complete plug-in element 9 formed.

In Fig. 5 ist die Oberseite der Leiterplatte dargestellt, auf der in Längsrichtung parallel zueinander zwei Ladeelektroden aufgebracht sind. Die Dimensionen, d. h. insbesondere der Abstand und die Länge der beiden Ladeelektroden 11, sind so bemessen, dass das Steckelement 9 in eine entsprechende USB Buchse zum Laden eingesteckt werden kann. Die Kontaktierung der Ladeelektroden 11 mit den Anschlüssen der beiden Kabelstränge erfolgt in der ersten Ausnehmung 22 und der zweiten Ausnehmung 25. In der bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist das Kabel 7 in zwei Strängen ausgebildet, wobei der erste Strang ein einfaches Kabel mit einer Litze ist, deren Ende mit der Plus-Ladeelektrode verbunden ist, in Fig. 6 der oberen Ladeelektrode 11. Der zweite Strang des Kabels 7 ist als Koaxialkabel ausgebildet, wobei der Außenleiter in der zweiten Ausnehmung 25 mit der als Massepol definierten Ladeelektrode 11 verbunden ist. Die weißen Punkte im linken Abschnitt der Masseelektrode kennzeichnen die Durchkontaktierungen auf die Unterseite der Leiterplatte, wie auch unten unter Bezugnahme auf Fig. 6 beschrieben.In Fig. 5 the top of the circuit board is shown, on which two charging electrodes are applied parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction. The dimensions, ie in particular the distance and the length of the two charging electrodes 11, are dimensioned so that the plug element 9 can be plugged into a corresponding USB socket for charging. The charging electrodes 11 are contacted with the connections of the two cable strands in the first recess 22 and the second recess 25. In the preferred embodiment, the cable 7 is formed in two strands, the first strand being a simple cable with a stranded wire is connected to the plus charging electrode, in Fig. 6 of the upper charging electrode 11. The second strand of the cable 7 is designed as a coaxial cable, the outer conductor in the second recess 25 being connected to the charging electrode 11 defined as a ground pole. The white dots in the left section of the ground electrode indicate the vias on the underside of the circuit board, as described below with reference to FIG Fig. 6 described.

Fig. 6 zeigt die Unterseite der Leiterplatte 21, auf die die Leiterplattenantenne 23 als leitende Schicht in bekannter Technik aufgebracht ist. Eine derartige Leiterplattenantenne zeichnet sich durch eine kompakte Bauform aus. Bei der Erfindung ist es vorteilhaft, dass die Leiterplattenantenne 23 im Steckelement 9 sich entfernt von der gedruckten Schaltung und den Bauelementen der drahtlosen Datenkommunikationseinrichtung im Vibrationserzeugungsteil 3 befindet, weil so sekundäre Erregungen und damit Störungen aufgrund der Hochfrequenzeigenschaften der Leiterplattenantenne erheblich reduziert werden. Fig. 6 shows the underside of the circuit board 21, on which the circuit board antenna 23 is applied as a conductive layer in a known technique. Such a circuit board antenna is characterized by a compact design. In the invention, it is advantageous that the circuit board antenna 23 in the plug-in element 9 is located away from the printed circuit and the components of the wireless data communication device in the vibration generating part 3, because secondary excitations and thus disturbances due to the high-frequency properties of the circuit board antenna are considerably reduced.

Die Form der aufgedruckten Antennenbahnen ist auf eine gute Abstrahlcharakteristik, einen hohen Wirkungsgrad beim Empfangen und Senden sowie auf eine ausreichende Bandbreite optimiert. Die Leiterplattenantenne 23 ist in der zweiten Ausnehmung 25 mit einem Strang des Kabels 7 verbunden, und zwar mit dem Koaxialstrang. Dabei ist der Innenleiter des Koaxialkabels, auch Seele genannt, an der Stirnseite der zweiten Ausnehmung 25 mit dem Kontaktbereich 24 der Leiterplattenantenne 23 elektrisch verbunden, d.h. verlötet. Der Außenleiter des Koaxialkabels ist auf den Längsseiten der zweiten Ausnehmung 25 mit Kontaktbereichen 26 des Antennenelements 23 elektrisch verbunden, d.h. verlötet. Es ist auch möglich, die Verbindung durch Kleben oder durch eine andere geeignete Kontaktiertechnik herzustellen. Wie in Fig. 6 ersichtlich ist in der ersten Ausnehmung 22 der Leiterplatte 21 keine Verbindung zwischen der Litze des Kabels 7 zu einer auf der Unterseite aufgedruckten Leiterbahn vorgesehen.The shape of the printed antenna tracks is optimized for good radiation characteristics, a high level of efficiency in receiving and transmitting, and a sufficient bandwidth. The circuit board antenna 23 is connected in the second recess 25 to a strand of the cable 7, specifically to the coaxial strand. The inner conductor of the coaxial cable, also called the core, is electrically connected, ie soldered, to the end face of the second recess 25 with the contact area 24 of the circuit board antenna 23. The outer conductor of the coaxial cable is electrically connected, ie soldered, to contact areas 26 of the antenna element 23 on the longitudinal sides of the second recess 25. It is also possible to establish the connection by gluing or by another suitable contacting technique. As in Fig. 6 it can be seen that in the first recess 22 of the circuit board 21 there is no connection between the stranded wire of the cable 7 and a conductor track printed on the underside.

Mithilfe des Koaxialkabels kann beispielsweise das empfangene oder zu sendende Bluetoothsignal im 2,4-GHz-Band zu der drahtlosen Datenkommunikationseinrichtung oder von ihr weg transportiert werden. Der Wellenwiderstand des Koaxialkabels ist so dimensioniert, dass optimale Sende- und Empfangseigenschaften gewährleistet sind.With the aid of the coaxial cable, for example, the received or to be transmitted Bluetooth signal in the 2.4 GHz band can be transported to or away from the wireless data communication device. The wave resistance of the coaxial cable is dimensioned in such a way that optimal transmission and reception properties are guaranteed.

Statt einer gedruckten Leiterplattenantenne können auch andere Antennenarten und- formen verwendet werden wie eine Linearantenne, eine Schleifenantenne oder eine Schlitzantenne.Instead of a printed circuit board antenna, other types and shapes of antenna can also be used, such as a linear antenna, a loop antenna or a slot antenna.

Die Fig. 8 und 9 zeigen jeweils eine perspektivische Darstellung einer zweiten bzw. dritten Ausführungsform der erfindungsgemäßen Massagevorrichtung. Dabei ist jeweils lediglich das Vibrationsaufnahmeteil 10 unterschiedlich gestaltet. Das Vibrationserzeugungsteil 3 ist so modular ausgebildet wie unter Bezugnahme auf die Fig. 2 und 3 beschrieben, d. h. dasselbe Vibrationserzeugungsteil 3 ist für ganz unterschiedliche Vibrationsaufnahmeteile 10 verwendbar.The Fig. 8 9 and 9 each show a perspective illustration of a second and third embodiment of the massage device according to the invention. Only the vibration receiving part 10 is designed differently in each case. The vibration generating part 3 is modularly formed as referring to FIG Figs. 2 and 3 described, ie the same vibration generating part 3 can be used for very different vibration receiving parts 10.

Man erkennt, dass in Fig. 8 das Vibrationserzeugungsteil 3 vollständig in der Aufnahme des Vibrationsaufnahmeteils 10 aufgenommen ist. In der in Fig. 9 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist das Vibrationserzeugungsteil 3 derart in der Aufnahme des Vibrationsaufnahmeteils 10 aufgenommen, dass es nur teilweise davon umgeben ist. Üblicherweise ist die Aufnahme derart gestaltet, dass eine Presspassung in der Aufnahme vorliegt. Der Außendurchmesser des Vibrationserzeugungsteils 3 ist dabei geringfügig größer als der Innendurchmesser der Aufnahme des Vibrationsaufnahmeteils 10.You can see that in Fig. 8 the vibration generating part 3 is completely received in the receptacle of the vibration receiving part 10. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the vibration generating part 3 is received in the receptacle of the vibration receiving part 10 in such a way that it is only partially surrounded by it. Usually the recording designed such that there is an interference fit in the receptacle. The outer diameter of the vibration generating part 3 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the receptacle of the vibration receiving part 10.

Da das Vibrationserzeugungsteil 3 mit dem gesamten Gehäuse 2 bei eingeschalteter Funktion vibriert, wird die Vibration auch im Wesentlichen komplett auf das Vibrationsaufnahmeteil 10 übertragen.Since the vibration generating part 3 vibrates with the entire housing 2 when the function is switched on, the vibration is also essentially completely transmitted to the vibration receiving part 10.

Die Form des Vibrationsaufnahmeteils 10 kann, wie aus den Fig. 8 und 9 hervorgeht, ganz unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein, um auf die Wünsche der Kunden nach Sexspielzeugen möglichst vielfältig eingehen zu können. Beispiele für derartige Formen sind herkömmliche weibliche Vibratorformen in unterschiedlichen Längen und Dicken, mit oder ohne seitlich angebrachten Klitorisstimulator, kleinere Vibratoraufsätze, die nur die etwa die Hälfte oder zwei Drittel der Länge des Vibrationserzeugungsteils 3 umgeben, ringartige Aufsätze, Paarvibratoren, männliche Vibratoren, Penisringaufsätze, Analaufsätze und dergleichen.The shape of the vibration receiving part 10 can, as shown in FIGS Fig. 8 9 and 9 can be designed very differently in order to be able to respond as diverse as possible to the wishes of customers for sex toys. Examples of such shapes are conventional female vibrator shapes in different lengths and thicknesses, with or without a clitoral stimulator attached to the side, smaller vibrator attachments that only surround about half or two thirds of the length of the vibration generating part 3, ring-like attachments, couple vibrators, male vibrators, penis ring attachments, Anal attachments and the like.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Gegenstand wird eine fernsteuerbare Massagevorrichtung bereitgestellt, die eine günstige Herstellung, ein zuverlässige flüssigkeitsfeste Funktion, eine flexibel anpassbare äußere Form der die Vibration übertragenden Bestandteile, ein einfaches Aufladen der Energiespeicher und eine flexible Steuerung mittels aktueller drahtloser Datenübertragungstechnologien ermöglicht.With the subject matter according to the invention, a remotely controllable massage device is provided which enables inexpensive production, a reliable liquid-proof function, a flexibly adaptable outer shape of the components transmitting the vibration, simple charging of the energy storage device and flexible control using current wireless data transmission technologies.
