Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Please refer to FIGS. 1-2 . FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a neck massager according to an embodiment of the present application, and FIG. 2 is a schematic circuit diagram of a neck massager according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIGS. 1-2 , the neck massager 1 of this embodiment includes a massager body, an electrical pulse generating device 150 , an electrical pulse output element 130 and a control circuit 140 .

The massager body is sleeved on the wearer's neck. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 , the massager body may include a main body 100 , a first handle 110 and a second handle 120 . The first handle 110 and the second handle 120 are disposed at both ends of the main body 100 . The first handle 110 , the main body 100 , and the second handle 120 are sequentially encircled into a shape that can be sleeved on the neck of the human body, so that the neck massager 1 can be sleeved on the neck of the human body. In another embodiment, the body of the massager may not include the first handle 110 and the second handle 120, and the body 100 directly forms a shape that can be sleeved on the neck of a human body.

The electric pulse generating device 150 is disposed on the body of the massager for generating pulse current.

The electrical pulse output element 130 is disposed on the massager body, and is electrically coupled to the electrical pulse generating device 150 for outputting pulse current to the wearer's neck. The electrical pulse output element can be an electrode sheet or a conductive silicone part.

The control circuit 140 is disposed on the body of the massager, and is electrically coupled to the electric pulse generating device 150 for controlling the electric pulse generating device 150 to realize the following method of time reminder for the neck massager.

In some embodiments, the neck massager 1 may further include a communication circuit 180 disposed on the massager body and electrically coupled to the control circuit 140 for receiving control instructions sent by the mobile terminal.

Please refer to FIG. 3 . FIG. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a method for performing a time reminder by a neck massager according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the method for reminding the neck massager of the present embodiment may include the following steps:

Step S110: The neck massager monitors whether the reminder time has arrived.

In this embodiment, a reminder time is set. The control circuit in the neck massager can monitor in real time whether the reminder time is reached.

Step S120: When the reminder time arrives, the neck massager provides pulse current to the electric pulse output element on it according to the frequency of the pulse current corresponding to the preset massage action, so as to massage the wearer.

The massage action includes a plurality of massage steps performed sequentially in time, each massage step corresponds to the frequency of a pulse current, and the absolute value of the difference between the frequencies of the pulse current corresponding to two adjacent massage steps in time is greater than Default threshold.

The inventors of the present application have found that the stable pulse current stimulation is easily adapted to the human body, thereby reducing the stimulation to the muscles of the human neck.

In this embodiment, by setting the absolute value of the difference between the frequencies of the pulse currents corresponding to the two adjacent massage steps in time to be greater than the preset threshold, the frequency of the pulse current output by the electrical pulse output element changes sharply , to stimulate the muscles of the human neck. In order to achieve the effect of time reminder, it will not affect the rest of other people. Moreover, it is more stimulating to the muscles of the human neck, and is not easy to be adapted by the human body.

As for the setting of the preset threshold, it only needs to satisfy that the human body can clearly perceive the difference in the massage effects of the two adjacent massage steps. Since different people have different sensitivities to the stimulation of the pulse current, the preset threshold value can have different values according to different people.

In the following, for specific explanation, several cases are exemplarily shown satisfying that the absolute value of the difference between the frequencies of the pulse currents corresponding to two adjacent massage steps is greater than the preset threshold.

In one case, two adjacent massage steps may be different massage gears of the neck massager. For example, one of the two adjacent massage steps may be one massage gear of the neck massager, and the other may be another massage gear of the neck massager. In another case, the two adjacent massage steps may be different massage modes of the neck massager. For example, one of the two adjacent massage steps may be a massage mode of the neck massager, and the other may be another massage mode of the neck massager.

Referring to FIG. 4 , FIG. 4 is a sequence diagram of massage steps of a method for performing a time reminder by a neck massager according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the massage action includes a plurality of massage steps 211 performed sequentially in time. In FIG. 4 , only 9 massage steps 211 are exemplarily shown, and in actual implementation, the massage steps 211 it has are not Limited to 9, it can be 18, 100, 200 or more massage steps 211 . As shown in FIG. 4 , a plurality of massage steps 211 have different positions on the time axis (not shown) according to different execution times. As shown in Figure 4, from left to right is the increasing direction of the time axis. The control circuit executes the massage steps 211 sequentially according to the increasing direction of the time axis, that is, the execution time of the massage steps 211 relatively close to the left is earlier than the execution time of the massage steps 211 relatively close to the right. When the control circuit executes a massage step 211 , that is, the control circuit controls the electrical pulse generator to provide pulse current to the electrical pulse output element according to the frequency of the pulse current corresponding to the massage step 211 .

In one embodiment, in order to simplify the massage action and facilitate the design of the massage action, as shown in FIG. 4 , each preset first number of massage steps 211 is a group, forming a plurality of massage step groups that are sequentially executed in time. 210, the massage steps 211 included in every two massage step groups 210 are the same, and the massage steps 211 included in each massage step group 210 are basic massage steps. FIG. 4 exemplarily shows three basic massage steps, namely a first basic massage step A1 , a second basic massage step A2 and a third basic massage step A3 . As shown in FIG. 4 , the basic massage steps included in every two massage step groups are the same, which are the first basic massage step A1 , the second basic massage step A2 and the third basic massage step A3 .

This embodiment does not limit the number of basic massage steps, and the basic massage steps can be set according to needs, for example, the number of basic massage steps and the frequency of the pulse current corresponding to the basic massage steps can be set by yourself.

In this embodiment, by setting the massage steps 211 included in every two massage step groups 210 to be the same, the composition of the massage actions is simplified, so that when setting the massage actions, the basic massage steps can be set.

In one embodiment, in order to further improve the stimulation of the massage action to the muscles of the neck of the human body and prevent the human body from adapting to the massage action, the disorder of the execution sequence of the massage action can be improved. For example, the execution order of the basic massage steps in the two massage step groups 210 performed sequentially in time is different. As shown in FIG. 4 , among the three massage step groups arranged in sequence on the time axis, from left to right are the first massage step group 210 , the second massage step group 210 , and the third massage step group 210 . The order of the basic massage steps in the first massage step group 210 on the time axis is the first basic massage step A1, the second basic massage step A2, and the third basic massage step A3. The order of the basic massage steps in the second massage step group 210 on the time axis is the second basic massage step A2, the first basic massage step A1, and the third basic massage step A3. The order of the basic massage steps in the third massage step group 210 on the time axis is the first basic massage step A1, the third basic massage step A3, and the second basic massage step A2. It can be seen that the order of the basic massage steps in every two massage step groups 210 executed sequentially in the first massage step group 210 , the second massage step group 210 and the third massage step group 210 is different.

In another embodiment, referring to FIG. 5 , FIG. 5 is a sequence diagram of massage steps of a method for performing a time reminder by a neck massager according to another embodiment of the present application. In order to further simplify the composition of the massage actions, the massage steps 211 can be arranged regularly on the time axis. For example, the basic massage steps in every two massage step groups 210 can be executed in the same order. That is, the basic massage steps in the two massage step groups 210 have the same arrangement order on the time axis. As shown in FIG. 5 , the chronological order of the basic massage steps in every two massage step groups 210 is the first basic massage step A1 , the second basic massage step A2 , and the third basic massage step A3 .

In some embodiments, in order to further improve the stimulation of the massage action to the muscles of the neck of the human body, the adaptation of the human body to the massage action is prevented. As shown in FIG. 4 , further, each preset second number of massage step groups 210 is a group, forming a plurality of massage arrangement groups 200 to be performed sequentially in time, and every two massages in each massage arrangement group 200 is formed. The execution order of the basic massage steps in the step group 210 is different, and the massage step groups included in every two massage arrangement groups 200 are the same. The second number can be specifically designed according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, in order to illustrate the present application, a case where the second number is three is exemplarily shown. As shown in FIG. 4 , the massage arrangement group includes a first massage step group 210 , a second massage step group 210 and a third massage step group that are executed in sequence. In this embodiment, the two massage step groups 210 formed with the same basic massage steps and the corresponding basic massage steps in the same execution order are called the same two massage step groups 210; the same massage step groups 210 will be formed. The two massage arrangement groups 200 that are formed and have the same execution order of the corresponding massage step groups 210 are referred to as the same two massage arrangement groups 200 . For the convenience of display, in FIG. 4 , only one massage arrangement group 200 is shown.

Further, referring to FIG. 6 , FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of step S120 in the method for performing time reminder by a neck massager according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, step S120 may include the following steps:

Step S121: When the reminder time arrives, randomly select a candidate massage step from the preset candidate massage steps, and output a pulse current with a frequency corresponding to the selected candidate massage step through the electrical pulse output element.

In this embodiment, a plurality of massage steps to be selected can be preset for selection by the control circuit. Each massage step to be selected may correspond to a frequency of a pulse current. And for a massage step to be selected, there is another massage step to be selected in all the massage steps to be selected, so that the frequency of the pulse current corresponding to the massage step to be selected is the same as the frequency of the pulse current corresponding to the massage step to be selected. The absolute value of the difference between the frequencies is greater than the preset threshold. The control circuit can randomly select a candidate massage step from the preset candidate massage steps, and control the electrical pulse output element to output a pulse current with a frequency corresponding to the selected candidate massage step.

Step S122: Whenever the interval time arrives, randomly select a candidate massage step from the preset candidate massage steps.

In this embodiment, it takes a certain amount of time to execute the selected massage steps to be selected. Only after the previously selected candidate massage step is executed, the candidate massage step selected after the previously selected candidate massage step will continue to be executed. Therefore, an interval time needs to be set, so that after the previously selected candidate massage step is executed, the subsequent selected candidate massage step is continued to be performed.

Step S123: Determine whether the absolute value of the difference between the frequency of the pulse current corresponding to the selected massage step to be selected and the frequency of the pulse current corresponding to the previously selected massage step to be selected is greater than a preset threshold.

Step S124 : output the pulse current of the frequency corresponding to the selected massage step to be selected through the electric pulse output element.

In this embodiment, the frequency of the pulse current output by the electrical pulse output element is randomly selected, which increases the disorder of the execution sequence of the massage steps and prevents the wearer from adapting to the massage action.

Further, in another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 , the neck massager further includes a displacement sensor 170, which is disposed on the massager body and is electrically coupled to the control circuit 140 for monitoring the movement distance of the wearer; The control circuit 140 is used to control the electrical pulse generating device 150 and the displacement sensor 170, so as to realize the following method for reminding the neck massager of time.

Referring to FIG. 7 , FIG. 7 is a schematic flowchart of a method for reminding time by a neck massager according to another embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 7 , the method for reminding the neck massager of the present embodiment includes the following steps:

Step S210: The neck massager monitors whether the reminder time has arrived. This step is the same as the above-mentioned step S110 shown in FIG. 3 , and will not be repeated here.

Step S220: When the reminder time arrives, the neck massager provides pulse current to the electric pulse output element on it according to the frequency of the pulse current corresponding to the preset massage action, so as to massage the wearer. This step and the above-mentioned step S120 shown in FIG. 3 will not be repeated here.

Step S230: The neck massager monitors the movement distance of the wearer by using the displacement sensor on the neck massager.

In this embodiment, a displacement sensor is provided on the massager body of the neck massager. The neck massager is worn on the neck of the human body and moves with the wearer. The displacement sensor can monitor the moving distance of the wearer to obtain the moving distance of the wearer.

Step S240: Determine whether the moving distance exceeds a preset distance threshold.

The inventor's research has found that when people generally use a neck massager to massage the neck, they are in a resting time period, and at this time, people are generally in a resting place or a resting position. People set the reminder time in this resting time period, and generally need to leave the resting place or resting position after the reminding time. Therefore, in order to realize the original intention of people setting the reminder time, in this embodiment, it is judged whether people have left the resting place or the resting place by judging whether the moving distance exceeds the preset distance threshold. The preset distance threshold can be specifically set according to the actual situation, and it can be 1 meter, 2 meters, or 3 meters. Of course, in other embodiments, the preset distance threshold may also be other values.

In this embodiment, if the moving distance of the people exceeds the preset distance threshold, the purpose of setting the reminder time has been achieved, and the subsequent step S250 can be continued, otherwise, jump to the step S230. It should be clear that when step S230 and step S240 are executed, the execution of step S220 does not stop, that is, the massage action continues.

In order to save power, the control circuit can start the displacement sensor to monitor the moving distance of the wearer only when it is determined that the reminder time arrives.

Step S250: Stop the massage action.

The controller can control the electrical pulse generating device to stop working, so as to stop the electrical pulse output element from outputting pulse current to the neck of the wearer.

In order to further save power, the control circuit can turn off the displacement sensor on it after stopping the massage action, and stop monitoring the moving distance of the wearer.

In this embodiment, in order to set a reminder time or a basic massage step, the neck massager can receive a control instruction to set a reminder time or a basic massage step. The control instruction may be sent by the mobile terminal. For example, the neck massager may establish a communication connection with the mobile terminal through a communication circuit, so as to receive the control instruction sent by the mobile terminal. The control instruction may include a reminder time setting instruction for setting the reminder time, so that when the neck massager receives the reminder time setting instruction, the control circuit can set the reminder time. The control instruction may also include a basic massage step setting instruction for setting the basic massage step, so that when the neck massager receives the basic massage step setting instruction, the control circuit can set the basic massage step. For example, the control circuit can set the frequency of the pulse current corresponding to the basic massage steps and the number of the basic massage steps.

The above are only the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of the patent of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present application, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, All are similarly included in the scope of patent protection of this application.
