[0042] FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic structure diagram of the sexual stimulation apparatus according an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 2A illustrates an exploded view of the sexual stimulation apparatus according an embodiment of the present disclosure. According to the present embodiment, the sexual stimulation apparatus may include a moving component configured to perform linear reciprocating motion along a longitudinal direction, a moving rod is connected to the moving component and having a free end connected thereto an adult toy. With such a configuration, when the moving component is performing linear reciprocating motion along the longitudinal direction, the adult toy will move along with the moving component to induce sexual stimulation to the users. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sexual stimulation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a chassis 110 including a sensing stopper 120 component; a moving component 130 moveable relative to the chassis 110 and having a sensing element 140; a controller 150 configured to receive signals generated when the sensing element 140 enters a sensing range of either one of the sensing stopper component 120, and generate a drive signal; a driver 160 configured to drive the moving component 130 to perform linear reciprocating motion according to the drive signal; a moving rod 170 connected to the moving component 130 and is configured to move with the moving component 130 to perform linear reciprocating motion. The moving rod 170 includes an end to which an adult toy is attachable, to allow the adult toy to perform linear reciprocating motion with the moving rod. According to some implementations, when the sensing element 140 enters the sensing range of either one of the sensing stopper component 120, a sensing signal may be generated by the sensing element 140, and the sensing element 140 may transmit the signal to the controller 150. In other implementations, when the sensing element 140 enters the sensing range of either one of the sensing stopper component 120, a sensing signal may be generated by the sensing stopper component 120, and the sensing stopper component 120 may transmit the signal to the controller 150. The drive signal may include a control signal for controlling the moving direction of the moving component 130.

[0043] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the sexual stimulation apparatus is operating, the driver 160 drives the moving component 130 to perform linear motion. In some embodiments, the driver 160 may change the linear motion of the moving component into opposite directions, thereby driving the moving component 130 to perform linear reciprocating motion. That is, the moving component 130 may move forward along a longitudinal direction of the chassis 110, and the sensing element 140 will move along with the moving component 130 in the same direction. When the sensing element 140 enters the sensing range of the sensing stopper component 120, the drive signal is generated by the controller 150, and the driver 160, upon receiving the drive signal, drives the moving component 130 in an opposite direction, such that the moving component 130 performs the linear reciprocating motion. Accordingly, the adult toy 180 connected to the moving rod 170 which is connected to the moving component 130, is driven to perform linear reciprocating motion along the longitudinal direction of the chassis 110. According to this embodiment, the moving component 130 is driven by the driver 160 according to the drive signal generated when the sensing element 140 enters the sensing range of the sensing stopper component 120, and thus the sexual stimulation apparatus operates in a more effective way. Also, the adult toy 180 can be held by the sexual stimulation apparatus, and thus it is unnecessary for the user to hold the adult toy 180 when using the toy. In this embodiment, the controller 150 and the driver 160 are described as separate elements, while in some other implementations, the controller 150 and the driver 160 may be implemented by one element, e.g., a digital processor, or an integrated circuit (IC) or other logical circuit.

[0044] According to some embodiments, the moving component 130 may include: a rotating component 131 connected to the driver 160 and configured to rotate according to the driver; and a sliding component 132, engaged to the rotating component 131 and configured to perform linear movement when the rotating component 131 is rotated, wherein the moving rod 170 is connected to the sliding component 132, and the sensing element 140 is disposed on the sliding component 132.

[0045] As shown in FIG. 2A, the rotating component 131 may include a driver fixing seat 1311, a screw rod 1312 and a screw rod fixing seat 1313 arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction of the chassis 110. The driver 160 is disposed on a first side of the driver fixing seat 1311, and the screw rod 1312 and the screw rod fixing seat 1313 is disposed on a second side of the driver fixing seat 1311 opposite to the first side. A first end of the screw rod 1312 is rotatably connected with the driver, and a second end of the screw rod 1312 is rotatably connected with the screw rod fixing seat 1313, and wherein the sliding component 132 is engaged to the screw rod 1312.

[0046] In this embodiment, the driver fixing seat 1311 and the screw rod fixing seat 1313 may be attached to the chassis 110. The driver 160 may be fixed to the driver fixing seat 1311, and the driving shaft of the driver is connected to the screw rod 1312 via a shaft connector 1314 passing through a via hole formed in the driver fixing seat 1311. Also, the two ends of the screw rod 1312 are rotatably connected with the driver fixing seat 1311 and the screw rod fixing seat 1313, and a connecting element, such as a bearing 1315 may be provided in the via holes formed in the driver fixing seat 1311 and the screw rod fixing seat 1313, such that the screw rod 1312 is rotatable with respect to the seats while is maintained in position.

[0047] According to some embodiments, the sliding component 132 may include: a screw sleeve 1321 engaged to the screw rod 1312; and a sensing plate 1322 attached to the screw sleeve 1321, wherein the sensing element 140 is disposed on the sensing plate 1322 at a side opposite to the sensing stopper component 120, and wherein the sensing plate 1322 is connected to the moving rod 170. In this embodiment, the screw sleeve 1321 may be engaged to the screw rod 1312 by thread engagement. In particular, the sleeve 1321 and the screw rod 1312 may have screws that matches with each other, such that the screw sleeve 1321 may move along the screwed region of the screw rod 1312.

[0048] In some embodiment, the sensing plate 1322 is disposed vertical to the screw rod 1312, and the sensing plate 1322 has a via hole through which the screw rod 1312 is inserted, as shown in FIG. 2A. However, in other embodiments, the sensing plate 1322 is detachable to the screw sleeve 1321, that is, the sensing plate 1322 is mounted to the screw sleeve 1321 with a detachable means, to allow easy separation of the sensing plate 1322 and the screw sleeve 1321. Moreover, the sensing plate 1322 is illustrated with a via hole through which the screw rod 1312 is inserted, while the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the sensing plate 1322 can be attached to the screw sleeve 1321 at a position under the screw rod 1312.

[0049] According to some embodiments, the sliding component 132 may include: a guide fixing seat 1323 disposed on the chassis 110; a guide rod 1324 fixed to the guide fixing seat 1323 and extended along the longitudinal direction; and a slider 1325 sleeved to the guide rod 1324 and moveable along the guide rod 1324. The sensing plate 1322 is fixed to the slider 1325, and the moving rod is connected to the slider 1325.

[0050] In this embodiment, the screw sleeve 1321 engaged to the screw rod 1312, and thus when the screw rod 1312 rotates according to the driver 160, the screw sleeve 1321 moves in the longitudinal direction along the screw rod 1312. Accordingly, when the screw sleeve 1321 performs linear reciprocating motion along the longitudinal direction of the chassis 110 according to the driver 160, the sensing plate 1322, the slider 1325 and the moving rod 170 connected directly or indirectly to the screw sleeve 1321 moves in the longitudinal direction and performs the same linear reciprocating motion. Therefore, the adult toy 180 connected to the moving rod 170 may perform the same linear reciprocating motion.

[0051] In this embodiment, the guide rod 1324 is fixed by the guide fixing seats 1323 which are fixed to the chassis 110, and the slider 1325 is sleeved to the guide rod 1324. Accordingly, the guide rod 1324 may guide the slider 1325 to move only along the guide rod 1324, and prevent the slider 1325 from moving in other direction, such as the circling motion along peripheral direction of the screw rod 1312. Accordingly, circling motion of the sensing plate 1322 and the screw sleeve 1321 can be prevented when they are connected to the slider.

[0052] According to some embodiments, the sensing plate 1322 may include a connecting fin 13221 extending in parallel with a moving plane of the slider 1325, and wherein the sensing plate 1322 is attached to the slider 1325 by the connecting fin 13221.

[0053] According to some embodiments, the sensing plate 1322 may include a sensing fin 13222 extending in parallel with the sensing stopper component 120. The sensing element 140 is disposed on a side of the sensing fin 13222 opposite to the sensing stopper component 120.

[0054] According to some embodiments, the guide fixing seat 1323 includes a through hole extending along the longitudinal direction, and wherein the moving rod 170 is configured to pass through the through hole.

[0055] According to some embodiments, the sexual stimulation apparatus further includes an opposite moving rod 171, the opposite moving rod 171 is connected to the slider 1325 at a side opposite to the moving rod 170.

[0056] According to some embodiments, the chassis 110 includes a limit structure 111 having a through hole, and the moving rod 170 is configured to pass through the through hole. Also, the guide rod 1324 may be fixed to the limit structure 111 to hole the guide rod 1324 in place.

[0057] According to some embodiments, the sensing stopper component 120 may include at least two sensing switches 121 configured to limit a stroke of the moving component 130, and wherein the at least two sensing switches 121 are integrated or separated.

[0058] In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A, two sensing switches 121 are illustrated, which are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the chassis 110. Once the sensing element 140 is moved into the sensing range of either sensing switch 121, a drive signal is sent to the driver 160 to change the direction of the linear movement of the moving component 130. Accordingly, the stroke of the moving component 130 can be determined according to the positions of the sensing switches 121. The relative position between the two switches 121 may be adjustable such that different strokes of the moving component 130 can be achieved. Also, adjustment of the relative position of the sensing switches 121 may include manual adjustment or electrical adjustment. In the present disclosure, the manual adjustment may include moving the position of the sensing switches 121 manually, and the electrical adjustment may include moving the position of the sensing switches 121 according to the control signal for adjusting the amplitude of the sexual stimulation apparatus. It should be noted that although two sensing switches 121 are illustrated in this embodiment, other sensing switches 121 can be provided to generate drive signals to change the moving speed, moving acceleration or the like of the moving component 130. In the present embodiment, the sensing switch 121 may include a proximity switch such as a capacitive proximity switch, an inductive proximity switch, a hall proximity switch, a photoelectric proximity switch, or a truck proximity switches, and the sensing element 140 may include a metal piece that is sensible by the proximity switch.

[0059] According to some embodiments, the sensing stopper component 120 may further include a switch seat 122, and wherein each of the at least two sensing switches 121 is disposed on a side of the switch seat 122 opposite to the sensing element 140.

[0060] In this embodiment, the switch 122 may be fixed to the chassis 110, and thus when the sensing switch 121 is disposed on a side of the switch seat 122, the sensing switch 121 is held at a desire position, such that the sensing range thereof can be adjusted.

[0061] In some embodiment, the driver 160 may include a drive motor and an encoder, the encoder is configured to receive the control signal from the controller 150, and then convert it into a control command of the drive motor, and then send the control command to the drive motor to control the rotation direction (forward/backward) and rotation speed of the drive motor. When the drive motor rotates forward (e.g., clockwise), it drives the screw rod 1312 connected to the drive motor to rotate forward, and the screw sleeve 1321 sleeved on the screw rod 1312 converts the rotation of the screw rod 1312 into linear motion. As the drive motor rotating forward, the screw sleeve 1321 moves forward along the screw rod 1312, such that the sensing element 140 moves forward along with the screw sleeve 1321. When the sensing element 140 moves into the sensing range of the sensing stopper component 120, a first sensing signal is generated and transmitted to the encoder by the controller 150, and the encoder controls the drive motor to rotate backward. When the drive motor rotates backward (e.g., anti-clockwise), it drives the screw rod 1312 connected to the drive motor to rotate backward, and the screw sleeve 1321 sleeved on the screw rod 1312 converts the rotation of the screw rod 1312 into linear motion. As the drive motor rotating backward, the screw sleeve 1321 moves backward along the screw rod 1312, such that the sensing element 140 moves backward along with the screw sleeve 1321. When the sensing element 140 moves into the sensing range of the other sensing stopper component 120, a second sensing signal is generated and transmitted to the encoder by the controller 150, and the encoder controls the drive motor to rotate forward again, such that the screw sleeve 1321 and the sensing element 140 move forward again. The stroke of the moving rod 170, e.g., the telescopic range of the moving rod 170, can be controlled by adjusting the moving distance of the screw sleeve 1321 and the sensing element 140, which can be determined according to the distance between the sensing stopper component 120.

[0062] In some embodiments, the adult toy 180 may include a connection means connected to the moving rod 170. For example, a quick release connector may be provided in the adult toy 180. Accordingly, the adult toy 180 may be connected easily to the moving rod 170 and may be detached for cleaning or replacement easily. Other connection means will be possible according to the concept of the present disclosure, for example, a screw structure, a snap structure, an interlock structure or the like are also possible for the connection between the adult toy 180 and the moving rod 170.

[0063] Moreover, in other embodiments, the sexual stimulation apparatus may further include an adapter 190 connected to the moving rod 170, wherein the adult toy 180 is connected to the adapter 190. FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic structure diagram of an adapter of the sexual stimulation apparatus according an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0064] As shown in FIG. 3, according to some embodiments, the adapter 190 includes: a first body 191 and a second body 192 configured to hold the adult toy 180; a connector 193 disposed on the first body 191 or the second body 192, wherein the connector 193 is detachably connected to the moving rod 170; a spring 194 disposed between the first body 191 and the second body 192; a quick release member 195 configured to pass through the first body 191 and the second body 192, wherein the spring 194 is in a compressed state when the first body 191 and second body 192 are fixed together by the quick release member 195.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the adapter 190 is attached to the moving rod 170, the adult toy 180, with or without the connection means to the moving rod 170, can be fixed to the moving rod 170 by the adapter 190. For example, a part of the adult toy 180 can be placed between the first body 191 and the second body 192, and when the first body 191 and the second body 192 are fixed together by the quick release member 195, the adult toy 180 is fixed to the moving rod 170 by the adapter 190. In this case, when the first body 191 and the second body 192 are used to fix the adult toy 180, it will be unnecessary to provide a connection means in the adult toy, and thus the adult toy with any shape or form can be attached to the moving rod 170. Also, when the quick release member 195 is released, the first body 191 and the second body 192 may separate easily with the elastic force of the spring 194. Moreover, the adapter 190 may also hold an extension rod connected to the adult toy 180, to extend the application range of the sexual stimulation apparatus. Also, in an embodiment, the adapter 190 may be used as an extension rod to extend the length of the moving rod 170, i.e., the application range of the sexual stimulation apparatus. It should be noted that FIG. 3 illustrates a particular shape of the adapter 190, while the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this particular shape and structure. For example, the first body 191 and the second body 192 may have other shape such that when they are fixed together, more than one adult toy can be held by the adaptor 190. Also, the adaptor is not limited to the clip shape shown in FIG. 3, and apparently the first body 191 and the second body 192 may have other shape, e.g., a ring shape, that can hold the adult toy.

[0066] According to some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 4-6, the sexual stimulation apparatus further includes a housing 200 configured to accommodate the moving component 130 and the sensing stopper component 120. The housing 200 may include a through hole and the moving rod 170 is protruded from the through hole. The housing 200 is disposed on a supporter 210 to stabilize the sexual stimulation apparatus and adjust an orientation of the adult toy 180.

[0067] In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the supporter 210 may include at least two feet 121 and at least two legs 122, wherein the foot 121 may be disposed on a surface such as a table, a floor, a bed or the like, and by providing at least two feet 121, the sexual stimulation apparatus can be placed stably on the surface. Also, the leg 122 is fixed to the foot 121 and may extend upward from the foot 121. The housing 200 may be attached to the at least two legs at a certain height such that the moving rod 170 and the sex toy 180 can be held at a desired position from the surface.

[0068] FIG. 5 illustrates a sexual stimulation apparatus having one moving rod 170 and FIG. 6 illustrates a sexual stimulation apparatus having both the moving rod 170 and the opposite moving rod 171. By providing the opposite moving rod 171, another adult toy 180 can be fixed to the opposite moving rod 171, and therefore two users may use the sexual stimulation apparatus at the same time, thereby improving the fun and interactivity of the sexual stimulation apparatus. As an example, the moving rod 170 and the opposite moving rod 171 may both be connected to the same type of adult toy, such as each being connected to a dildo, or each being connected to a masturbation toy. Also, in another example, the moving rod 170 and the opposite moving rod 171 may respectively connected to a different type of adult toy, such as one being connected to a dildo while the other one being connected to a masturbation toy.

The interacting information may be transmitted to the model device 721, and the model device 720 may transmit corresponding control signal the sexual stimulation apparatus 710, to control the operation of the sexual stimulation apparatus 710.

[0072] In some embodiments, the interacting may involve donating. That is, the guest may make a donation (i.e., give a tip) to the model through the live broadcast room 730, and the live broadcast room 730 may receive the tip information from the guest device 722 and forward the tip information to the model device 721. The model device 721 may generate the control signal according to the tip information. For example, according to different tip information, different control signal may be generated to control the operating status, such as the shock frequency, intensity, amplitude, duration and the like of the sexual stimulation apparatus. Also, the control pattern for the operating status according to the tip information can be predetermined by the model.

[0073] In this case, by using the communication system, the sexual stimulation apparatus can be operated with more fun and interactivity when the model and the guest are interacting through the live broadcast room 730.
