Eye massager

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of massagers, and in particular to an eye massager.

[0002] As people pay increasing attention to health, massagers are favored by many people. An eye massager is a device for massaging human eyes, eye regions and temples. The eye massager in the art, having a massaging and light shielding effect, is heavy in weight. Therefore, when a user needs the light shielding effect without the massaging effect (such as during sleeping), the eye massager may not be used conveniently, and the user experience is poor.

[0003] Therefore, it is an urgent problem of how to improve the eye massager to enable the user to use the eye massager flexibly according to an application scenario so as to improve the user experience.

[0004] The present disclosure provides an eye massager, including: an eye mask assembly, including a flexible eye mask body configured to cover eyes of a user to shield light from the eyes; and a massaging assembly. The massaging assembly and the flexible eye mask body are selectively in an assembled state or a separate state. When the massaging assembly and the flexible eye mask body are in the assembled state, the eye massager is configured to massage at least one of: an eye region, an eye peripheral region, and temples of the user.

[0031] In order to make objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely in the following by referring to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments show only some, but not all of, embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments, which are obtained by any ordinary skilled person in the art based on the embodiments described herein without creative work, shall fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0032] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, rear, top, bottom) in the embodiments of the present disclosure are used only for explaining relative positional relationships and movements among various components at a particular attitude (the attitude as shown in the accompanying drawings). The directional indications may be correspondingly changed when the particular attitude is changed. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, terms such as “first”, “second”, and the like are used for descriptive purposes only, and shall not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance or specifying the number of technical features. Therefore, a feature defined by the “first” or “second” may include at least one such feature, either explicitly or implicitly.

[0033] In order to enable any ordinary skilled person in the art to better understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below by referring to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 1, the present disclosure provides an eye massager 100. As shown in FIGS. 2-3, the eye massager 100 may include an eye mask assembly 10 and a massaging assembly 20. The eye mask assembly 10 includes a flexible eye mask body 102 configured to cover eyes of a user to shield light from the eyes. The massaging assembly 20 and the flexible eye mask body 102 may be selectively in an assembled state (as shown in FIG. 1) or a separate state (as shown in FIG. 2). When the massaging assembly 20 and the flexible eye mask body 102 are in the assembled state (as shown in FIG. 1), the eye massager 100 may be configured to massage an eye region, an eye peripheral region, and the temples of the user. For the eye massager 100 in the present disclosure, since the eye mask assembly 10 and the massaging assembly 20 are selectively in the assembled state or in the separate state, the user may use the eye mask assembly 10 alone in a case where eye massaging is not required. For example, when the user is sleeping, only a light shielding effect is needed. Therefore, the massaging assembly 20 and the flexible eye mask body 102 can be separated from each other, and the eye mask assembly 10 is used alone. In this way, inconvenience to the user, caused by a large overall weight due to the eye mask assembly 10 and the massaging assembly 20 being assembled with each other, can be avoided. Therefore, the eye massager 100 of the present disclosure can be expanded to a variety of usage scenarios, and the user experience is improved.

[0035] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the flexible eye mask body 102 and the massaging assembly 20 are arranged transversely to be attached to the eyes of the user, extending along an extending direction D. In an embodiment, the flexible eye mask body 102 and the massaging assembly 20 are detachably connected to each other via a connection member. When the flexible eye mask body 102 and the massaging assembly 20 are connected to each other via the connection member, the massaging assembly 20 and the flexible eye mask body 102 can be tightly attached to each other. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIGS. 11-12, one first connection member 30 is arranged on each of a left side 103 and a right side 104 of the flexible eye mask body 102, and one second connection member 40 is arranged on each of a left side 200 and a right side 201 of the massaging assembly 20. The first connection member 30 on the left side 103 of the flexible eye mask body 102 and the second connection member 40 on the left side 200 of the massaging assembly 20 are detachably connected to each other; and the first connection member 30 on the right side 104 of the flexible eye mask body 102 and the second connection member 40 on the right side 201 of the massaging assembly 20 are detachably connected to each other. In this way, the eye mask assembly 10 and the massaging assembly 20 can be selectively in the assembled state or in the separate state. In the above embodiment, by arranging two first connection members 30 and two second connection members 40 respectively on the flexible eye mask body 102 and the massaging assembly 20 and the two first connection members 30 and the two second connection members 40 are detachably connected to each other correspondingly, the eye mask assembly 10 and the massaging assembly 20 are selectively configured in the assembled state or in the separate state. The user may use the eye massager 100 conveniently, the user experience is improved. In the assembled state, a distance along the extending direction D is formed between the first connection member 30 and the second connection member 40 on a same side, the massaging assembly 20 and the flexible eye mask body 102 can be tightly stretched. In this way, an outward push of the massage assembly 20 after being inflated is converted into an inward push pressure applied by the flexible eye mask body 102 on the eyes and the temples of the user, such that the eyes and a head can be comfortably and effectively massaged and relaxed. To be noted that, each of the number of first connection members 20 and the number of second connecting members 40 is not limited to two and may be three or more, as long as the eye mask assembly 10 and the massaging assembly 20 can be detachably connected to each other. The present disclosure does not limit the number of first connection members 30 and the number of second connection members 40. Further, in an example, the first connection member 30 may be a pullable strap and the second connection member 40 may be a pull ring having an opening, or vice versa. Specifically, the pullable strap may be a striped and ring-shaped strap having two openings respectively at two sides (as shown in FIGS. 2-3). The pull ring is a ring-shaped structure having a notch (as shown in FIG. 11). When the eye mask assembly 10 with the massaging assembly 20 are assembled to each other, the pull ring sleeves the pullable strap via the notch of the pull ring and the openings of the pullable strap, such that the eye mask assembly 10 to the massaging assembly 20 are connected to each other.

[0036] Further, in addition to taking connection members to achieve detachable connection between the eye mask assembly 10 and the massaging assembly 20, in some embodiments, the detachable connection of the eye massager 100 of the present disclosure can be achieved by arranging Velcro stickers. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 15, the flexible eye mask body 102 is arranged with a first Velcro sticker 50, and the massaging assembly 20 is arranged with a second Velcro sticker 60. The first Velcro sticker 50 and the second Velcro sticker 60 are disposed opposite to each other to enable the flexible eye mask body 102 and the massaging assembly 20 to be detachably adhered to each other. Of course, in the eye massager 100 of the present disclosure, the connection members and the Velcro stickers may all be arranged to achieve the detachable connection. In this case, the first Velcro sticker 50 is disposed at a middle portion 101 of the flexible eye mask body 102, and the second Velcro sticker 60 is disposed at a middle portion 203 of the massaging assembly 20, such that the middle portion 101, the left side 103 and the right side 104 of the flexible eye mask body 102 can all be completely adhered to the massaging assembly 20, and the inward push pressure of the massaging assembly 20 can be better transferred.

[0037] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, each of the left side 103 and the right side 104 of the flexible eye mask body 102 is further arranged with a pocket structure 1020. The pocket structure 1020 is opened towards the middle portion 101 of the flexible eye mask body 102 to form a receiving space 105 having an opening 10200. Specifically, a shape of an opening 10200 of the pocket structure 1020 at the left side matches with a shape of the left side 200 of the massaging assembly 20; and a shape of an opening 10200 of the pocket structure 1020 at the right side matches with a shape of the right side 201 of the massaging assembly 20 (as shown in FIG. 11). For example, the openings and the left side 200 and the right side 201 of the massaging assembly 20 are curved or in other shapes. When the two first connection members 30 and the two second connection members 40 are connected to each other in one-to-one correspondence, the left side 200 and the right side 201 of the massaging assembly 20 are respectively at least partially inserted in the respective receiving space 105. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the flexible eye mask body 102 includes a first body portion 1022 and a second body portion 1024. The first body portion 1024 defines an opening 10240. The first body portion 1022 is recessed towards an inner side of the eye mask assembly 10, and the second body portion 1024 is protruding towards an outer side of the eye. mask assembly 10. In this way, when the first body portion 1022 and the second body portion 1024 are assembled to each other, one pocket structure 1020 is formed at each of the left side 103 and the right side 104 of the flexible eye mask body 102. As shown in FIG. 3, two first connection members 30 are at least partially received in two pocket structures 1020, respectively. In the present embodiment, the eye mask assembly 10 and the massaging assembly 20 are tightly connected to each other by arranging the connection members respectively on the left side and the right side of the flexible eye mask body 102 and on the left side and the right side of the massaging assembly 20, and the left side and the right side of the massaging assembly 20 are at least partially inserted in the respective receiving space of the eye mask assembly 10. In this way, assembling between the massaging assembly 20 and the eye mask assembly 10 is invisible, such that in the assembled state, a more aesthetic appearance is achieved. In addition, two pocket structures 1020 respectively receive the left side and the right side of the eye mask assembly 10. Therefore, in the assembled state, movements of the eye mask assembly 10 is limited, and arrangement of the first connection members 30 and the second connection members 40 enables the outward push of the massaging assembly 20 after being inflated to be converted into the inward push pressure to be applied on the eyes and the temples of the user.

[0038] As shown in FIG. 11, the massaging assembly 20 includes an air bag module 202 and an air bag drive module 204. The air bag module 202 is disposed facing towards the flexible eye mask body 102, and the air bag drive module 204 is disposed on a first side 2021 of the air bag module 202 away from the flexible eye mask body 102 (shown in FIG. 12) and is attached to the air bag module 202. In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the two second connection members 40 are respectively arranged at a left side 2047 and a right side 2049 of the air bag drive module 204. An extending length of a base 2020 in the extending direction D is greater than an extending length of the air bag drive module 204 in the extending direction D. In this way, a left end 20202 and a right end 20204 of the base 2020 can be inserted respectively in the two pocket structures 1020. An air bag 2022 is arranged inside the base 2020. Since the base 2020 is longer than the air bag drive module 204, a space occupied by the air bag 2022 in the base 2020 is increased, such that a massaging area of the eye massager 100 is increased, and the distance between the first connection member 30 and the second connection member 40 is provided. The air bag drive module 204 is shortened, so as to reduce an overall weight of the eye massager 100.

[0039] In an embodiment, the second connection member 40 is the pull ring having a hole. The air bag drive module 204 includes a shell, the shell is arranged with a connection post. The connection post passes through the hole in the pull ring to enable the second connection member 40 and the air bag drive module 204 to be fixedly connected to each other. The first connection member 30 is the pullable strap and is sewn directly into the pocket structure 1020. In this way, manufacturing costs are saved, and a manufacturing process is simplified.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 3, the eye mask assembly 10 further includes a power supply module 106. The power supply module 106 is connected to the flexible eye mask body 102. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3-4, the power supply module 106 and the flexible eye mask body 102 are connected to each other via a connection portion 107. The connection portion 107 is disposed at a middle portion 101 of the flexible eye mask body 102. The power supply module 106 is disposed at a middle portion of the flexible eye mask body 102. As shown in FIG. 15, the air bag module 202 includes the base 1020 and the air bag 2022 arranged in the base 2020. The air bag drive module 204 is configured to inflate and deflate the air bag 2022. As shown in FIG. 12, the air bag drive module 204 defines with a recess 206. The power supply module 106 is detachably received in the recess 206 to be electrically connected to the air bag drive module 204. In some embodiments, the power supply module 106 is hexahedral (as shown in FIG. 3). The air bag drive module 204 is a strip-shaped structure having the recess at a middle. A shape of the recess matches a shape of the power supply module 106. In this way, the power supply module 106 can be tightly connected with the air bag drive module 204 when the eye mask assembly 10 and the massaging assembly 20 are in the assembled state, preventing the power supply module 106 and the air bag drive module 204 from being separated from each other. As described below, a heating sheet and a speaker may be arranged in the eye mask assembly 10. When the eye mask assembly 10 and the massaging assembly 20 are in the separate state, the power supply module 106 can supply power to and control the heating sheet and the speaker. In this way, when the eye mask assembly 10 is used alone, such as during sleeping, light shielding, heating and music playing for relaxation can be achieved, quality of sleeping can be improved. When the eye mask assembly 10 and the massaging assembly 20 are in the assembled state, the power supply module 106 can supply power to the massaging assembly 10 to achieve massaging.

[0041] In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7A to 7F, the power module 106 includes a first shell 1062, a battery 1064, a first PCBA board 1066, and an ejecting post base 1068.
