Definitions

  • the invention relates to a remotely controllable massage device for the massage of body parts, in particular the genitals.
  • 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.
  • the plug-in element is particularly advantageously flat and the charging electrodes are designed as USB compatible.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the charging electrodes are 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • the cable has two strands.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer
  • thermoplastic plastics are insensitive to commercially available lubricants and cleaning agents and are tasteless and odorless.

  • 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.
  • 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.
