1. A massage device, comprising:
an elongated shell configured to be inserted into a vagina, the shell defining a moving space therein, a lateral wall of the shell defining an opening to intercommunicate the moving space inside the shell with an outside environment out of the shell, wherein the lateral wall extends along a length of the elongated shell, the moving space extend [ extending ] through a first exterior side of the lateral wall and a second exterior side of the lateral wall to the outside environment, [ wherein ] the second exterior side of the lateral wall is opposite to the first exterior side of the lateral wall, [ and wherein ] the first and second exterior sides are exposed to the outside environment;
a driving member arranged in a chamber of the shell, and [ wherein ] the chamber is adjacent to the moving space, [ wherein ] the chamber is defined by an interior surface of the shell [ shell, ] and [ wherein ] the moving space is defined by a surface of the shell that is exterior to the interior surface of the chamber, and
an elongated massage member connected to the driving member in a transmission way and having a free end extending into the moving space, the massage member being swingable in a lateral direction of the shell under the [ a ] driving of the driving member, wherein when the massage member swings, the free end of the massage member is reciprocating [ reciprocates ] to at least a first position inside the moving space of the shell and at least a second position out of the lateral wall of the shell via the opening of the lateral wall, wherein the entire elongated massage member is located within the moving space and does not protrude past the lateral wall to the outside environment in the first position, and [ wherein ] in the second position, the free end of the massage member protrudes past the lateral wall and into the outside environment of the elongated shell.
2. The massage device according to claim 1, wherein a thickness of the free end of the massage member in a [ the ] lateral direction of the shell is less than a depth of the moving space in the lateral direction of the shell.
4. The massage device according to claim 3, wherein a width of the massage member in the [ a ] lateral direction of the shell ranges from 1 mm to 150 mm, and a length of the massage member in a longitudinal direction of the shell ranges from 5 mm to 150 mm.
7. The massage device according to claim 6, wherein a shape of the massage member is different from that of the moving space, and the width of the gap changes along the [ a ] circumferential direction.
8. The massage device according to claim 1, wherein a shape of the moving space is one of [ a ] circle, [ a ] semicircle, [ an ] ellipse, [ a ] square, [ a ] rectangle, [ a ] triangle, [ a ] polygon, [ a ] D-shape, C-shaped, kidney-shaped, heart-shaped, gourd-shaped, and [ a ] briolette; or, is a combination of at least two of [ a ] circle, [ a ] semicircle, [ an ] ellipse, [ a ] square, [ a ] rectangle, [ a ] triangle, [ a ] polygon, [ a ] D-shape, C-shaped, kidney-shaped, heart-shaped, gourd-shaped, and [ a ] briolette.
9. The massage device according to claim 1, wherein a shape of the massage member is one of [ a ] circle, [ a ] semicircle, [ an ] ellipse, [ a ] square, [ a ] rectangle, [ a ] triangle, [ a ] polygon, [ a ] D-shape, C-shaped, kidney-shaped, heart-shaped, gourd-shaped, and branch-shaped, or, is a combination of at least two of [ a ] circle, [ a ] semicircle, [ an ] ellipse, [ a ] square, [ a ] rectangle, [ a ] triangle, [ a ] polygon, [ a ] D-shape, C-shaped, kidney-shaped, heart-shaped, gourd-shaped, and branch-shaped.
10. The massage device according to claim 1, wherein the opening extends through the first exterior side and the second exterior side of the lateral wall along a swing direction of the massage member, and wherein when the massage member swings, the free end of the massage member reciprocating [ reciprocates ] in three different positions, the [ three ] [ different ] positions comprise [ comprising ] the first position inside the moving space of the shell, the second position out of the lateral wall [ , ] via the opening, at the first exterior side of the later [ lateral ] wall, and a third position out of the later [ lateral ] wall [ , ] via the opening, at the second exterior side of the lateral wall.
11. The massage device according to claim 10, wherein the moving Space is defined at a middle portion of the shell and is closed along the [ a ] circumferential direction.
15. The massage device according to claim 14, wherein the massage member comprises a soft cover and a hard core embedded in the soft cover, the hard core is rotatably connected to the shell, [ and ] the cam is movably connected to the hard core.
16.
