Inertial percussion massager
View Patent ↗Disclosed is an inertial percussion massager, including a percussion body provided with a free end and a drive end, a drive assembly, a drive strategy assembly, and a percussive massage portion arranged at the free end and configured to act on a target massage area in an impact manner to produce a percussive massage effect. The drive end is connected to the drive assembly. The drive strategy assembly is configured to control a motion strategy of the drive assembly and drive the free end of the percussion body to move at a frequency f. The frequency f is not less than 10 Hz. An inertia-based impact mechanism enables generation of a peak impact force stronger than that from traditional non-inertial percussion or pure vibration massage and facilitates more effective energy transfer even under same driving power, by optimizing mass distribution of the percussion body and/or increasing motion velocity.
