Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a massage device, and more particularly to a massage device with improved heating performance. Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, a thermal massage device has been widely used to relieve acute or chronic pain in the muscles and nerve tissues of the spine caused by working continuously for a long time in an improper posture or making such a posture a habit for a long time, and to improve the body's blood circulation or relieve momentary muscle stiffness. The thermal massage device moves along the body and improves blood circulation by thermally stimulating the pain-generating area.

[0003] In this existing massage device, in order to press the acupuncture points according to the Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian, a long drum-shaped roller component with protruding contact parts is arranged on both sides with a recessed part in the center as the center, a heating component and a heat transfer component that transfers the heat of the heating component to the roller component are inserted inside the roller component, and the heat transfer component is contacted with the inner surface of the roller component to heat the roller component by conduction, thereby providing a warm massage effect for the user.

[0004] The roller component is fixed by support frames on both sides so as to be relatively rotatable. In order to achieve the relative rotation of the roller component, an annular body that performs the function of a bushing is arranged on both sides of the roller component.

[0005] At this time, the heating component is fixed in a non-rotating state for power supply, and the heat transfer component arranged around the heating component is also fixed in a non-rotating state. However, on the contrary, the roller component is constructed to be rotatable during the massage process, thereby causing relative rotation between the heat transfer component and the roller component.

[0006] However, in a state where the heat transfer member is arranged to extend in the axial direction of the roller member as described above, friction occurs with the relative rotation of the roller member, which causes a problem of generating noise.

[0007] Of course, heat can also be transferred through the annular bodies arranged on both sides of the roller component. However, in such a structure, it is impossible to transfer uniform heat to the roller component extended in the axial direction, so there may be another problem of reducing the warm massage effect.

[0008] In addition, in order to improve the warm massage effect, the roller component is formed of a ceramic material, and in order to improve the heat transfer performance, the heat transfer component is formed of a metal material. However, there is also a problem of fatigue failure of the roller component due to thermal expansion of the heat transfer component.

[0009] At the same time, in order to provide an effective thermal massage, a temperature measuring component is arranged on the outside of the roller component (arranged on the outside of the recessed portion). However, during the thermal treatment process, as the roller component rotates, relative rotation occurs between the roller component and the temperature sensing component. Therefore, noise is generated due to the friction between the roller component and the temperature sensing component. In addition, due to the rotation of the roller component, it is difficult for the temperature sensing component to accurately measure the temperature, thus making it difficult to provide an effective thermal massage. In addition, due to the difficulty in assembling the temperature sensing component and the elastic component, there is also the problem of increased manufacturing costs.

[0010] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the above aspects.

[0050] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that persons with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can easily implement the present invention. The present invention can be implemented in various forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted in the accompanying drawings, and the same reference numerals are given to the same or similar components throughout the specification.

[0051] The words and terms used in this specification and claims should not be interpreted limited to the conventional or dictionary meanings, but should be based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define terms and concepts in order to explain his own invention in the best way, and should be interpreted in a meaning and concept that is consistent with the technical idea of ​​the present invention.

[0052] Figure 1 is a side view showing a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 1 is a side view showing a lifting part configured in a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Here, the X direction is the direction in which the user lies down, and refers to the length direction in which the pressure-applying part moves along the user's spine; the Y direction refers to the width direction of the massage device. At this time, the axial direction of the pressure-applying part refers to the same direction as the width direction. The Z direction refers to the height direction of the massage device. In order to clearly explain the present invention, parts not related to the explanation are omitted in the drawings.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the massage device according to the embodiment of the present invention may include: a pressurizing unit 100 for pressurizing a user; a conveying unit 200 for moving the pressurizing unit 100 along a length direction X; and a lifting unit 300 for lifting or lowering the pressurizing unit 100 along a height direction Z.

[0054] At this time, the massage device may include: a control unit 400 for controlling the actions of the pressurizing unit 100 and the lifting unit 300; and an input unit 500 for the user to select a desired warm massage mode.

[0055] Meanwhile, the massage device may include a main pad 101 for the user's upper body and spine and an auxiliary pad 102 for the user's lower body. In addition, a carrying portion 103 may be included as required, and the carrying portion 103 may be placed and supported by the main pad 101 and the auxiliary pad 102.

[0056] The pressurizing part 100 can massage the spine while moving along the user's spine in the length direction X. The pressurizing part 100 generates high-temperature heat and far infrared rays by using the electric energy supplied from the power supply part (not shown), and can provide the user with a hot compress and a warm massage effect by using the heat and far infrared rays. The pressurizing part 100 can be configured as a cap type or a stick type according to the form, but is not limited thereto, and can have various shapes and structures.

[0057] In addition, the conveying part 200 may include a conveying member 210 and a conveying motor 220, and the conveying member 210 provides a reciprocating movement path of the pressurizing part 100 so that the pressurizing part 100 moves in the longitudinal direction X of the user. When the conveying motor 220 is supplied with electric energy, the rotating shaft of the conveying motor 220 rotates in one direction or the other direction, and the conveying member 210 moves to one side or the other side of the longitudinal direction X, and the pressurizing part 100 connected to the conveying member 210 also moves together. The above-mentioned conveying member 210 can be selected from a conveyor belt, a conveyor chain, and a conveyor rope for use, but is not limited thereto, and various means for moving the pressurizing part 100 using the driving force of the conveying motor 220, such as a gear rack, can be used. Such a conveying motor 220 can also be configured to provide driving force in a state of being spaced apart from the pressurizing part 100 or to provide driving force in a state of being inserted into the pressurizing part 100.

[0058] Meanwhile, the lifting unit 300 is configured to raise the pressurizing unit 100 in the height direction Z to apply a pressurizing force to the user, or to lower the pressurizing unit 100 in the height direction Z to eliminate the pressurizing force applied to the user.

[0059] For example, the lifting part 300 includes: a lifting member 310, a hinge fixing the pressurizing part 100; and a lifting motor 320, which provides a driving force to rotate the lifting member 310. That is, when the lifting motor 320 is supplied with electric energy, the rotating shaft of the lifting motor 320 rotates in one direction or the other direction, and the lifting member 310 rotates together. When the lifting member 310 rotates, the pressurizing part 100 is raised or lowered while rotating around the fixed part of the hinge.

[0060] The lifting unit 300 is not necessarily limited to the above-mentioned structure, and as long as the pressurizing unit 100 can be raised or lowered along the height direction Z, other structures such as a cylinder or a linear motor may also be used.

[0061] Figure 3 is a perspective view showing a pressurizing portion provided in a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 Cut along the width Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of a pressurizing portion; Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a pressurizing portion provided in a massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention; Figure 6 Cut along the width Figure 5 A cross-sectional view of a pressurizing portion; Figure 7 is a perspective view showing a pressurizing portion provided in a massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention; Figure 8 Cut along the width Figure 7 A cross-sectional view of the pressurizing portion.

[0062] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the pressurizing part 100 may include: a pressurizing component 110, which is in contact with the user's body; a main body component 120, which supports the pressurizing component 110; a heating component 130, which is arranged on the main body component 120 to heat the pressurizing component 110 by conduction; and a temperature sensing component 140, which is arranged on the main body component 120 to measure the temperature of the heating component 130.

[0063] The main body part 120 mentioned above may be a frame part that stably supports the pressurizing part 110 , but it is not limited thereto, and any structure may be applicable as long as it is a structure that can support the pressurizing part 110 .

[0064] The heating member 130 may be a PTC (positive temperature coefficient) heater, but other structures such as lamps may also be used. In addition, the pressurizing member 110 may be suitable for far infrared radiators such as ceramics, but is not limited thereto, and may use various materials and substances that can be heated by various heating elements or heat.

[0065] As described above, when the pressure component 110 is directly supported by the main body component 120, the heating component 130 is set inside the main body component 120 to directly heat the main body component 120, and then heat the pressure component 110 by conduction, so that even if the pressure component 110 rotates during the warm massage process, no noise will be generated.

[0066] In addition, the main body member 120 supporting the pressurizing member 110 is directly heated, thereby not only improving the heat transfer performance but also preventing fatigue failure of the pressurizing member 110 .

[0067] At the same time, since the temperature sensing component 140 is provided in the main body component 120 in a non-rotating state, even if the pressurizing component 110 rotates, no noise caused by friction is generated, and the temperature can be accurately measured, so that effective warm massage can be performed, and the temperature sensing component 140 is easy to assemble, so the manufacturing cost is saved. Such a temperature sensing component 140 may be a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the heating component 130, and a separate bimetal 141 may be provided together with such a temperature sensor.

[0068] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the main body component 120 may include: a support rod 121 supporting the pressurizing component 110; and a connecting rod 122 formed integrally with the support rod 121 so that the support rod 121 is connected to the lifting part 300.

[0069] The pressurizing member 110 is symmetrically arranged on one side and the other side in the width direction Y with the spine of the user as the center in order to press the acupuncture points according to the foot-sun bladder meridian. Figure 4 The illustrated pressurizing portion 100 may be a pressurizing portion 100 disposed on one side in the width direction Y, and an additional pressurizing portion 100 symmetrically disposed therewith may be disposed on the other side in the width direction Y.

[0070] The support rod 121 is arranged to extend along the width direction Y with the connecting rod 122 as the center, so as to support the pressure components 110 respectively arranged on one side and the other side of the width direction Y. The connecting rod 122 is integrated with the support rod 121 to improve the stability of the structure, and the connecting rod 122 is connected to the lifting part 300 to raise or lower the pressure component 110 in the height direction Z.

[0071] For example, the support rod 121 and the connecting rod 122 can be manufactured as one piece through a die-casting process. In this way, the contact resistance between the support rod 121 and the connecting rod 122 is minimized, the heat transfer performance is improved, and the temperature of the heating component 130 can be accurately measured.

[0072] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the heating component 130 can be inserted into the support rod 121. As described above, if the heating component 130 is inserted into the support rod 121 supporting the pressurizing component 110, the support rod 121 is heated and the pressurizing component 110 is heated by conduction, so that effective warm massage can be performed.

[0073] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8As shown, the temperature sensing component 140 may be provided to be attached to the connecting rod 122. As described above, since the connecting rod 122 is integrated with the support rod 121, if the support rod 121 is heated by the heating component 130, the connecting rod 122 is also heated together, and since the connecting rod 122 is integrated with the support rod 121, the contact resistance between the two parts is minimized, so even if the temperature sensing component 140 is provided on the connecting rod 122, the temperature can be accurately measured.

[0074] In addition, since only the heating component 130 is provided on the support rod 121 and only the temperature sensing component 140 is provided on the connecting rod 122 , the sizes of the support rod 121 and the connecting rod 122 are minimized, and the pressurizing unit 100 can be manufactured in a miniaturized manner.

[0075] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the support rod 121 may include: a lower frame 121a formed integrally with the connecting rod 122; and an upper frame 121b combined on the upper side of the lower frame 121a.

[0076] According to the above configuration, the pressurizing unit 100 can be simply manufactured by combining the components while the heating component 130 is disposed between the lower frame 121a and the upper frame 121b. In addition, since the lower frame 121a and the connecting rod 122 are formed integrally, as described above, the contact resistance between the lower frame 121a and the connecting rod 122 is minimized, and even if the temperature sensing component 140 is provided on the connecting rod 122, the temperature can be accurately measured.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, a first insertion groove IH1 for inserting and disposing the heating member 130 may be disposed on at least one of the lower surface of the upper frame 121b and the upper surface of the lower frame 121a.

[0078] That is, by forming the first insertion groove IH1, the heating component 130 can be stably configured, thereby improving the structural stability. Such a first insertion groove IH1 can be formed only in the upper frame 121b, or only in the lower frame 121a, or in both the upper frame 121b and the lower frame 121a.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, the pressurizing part 100 may further include a coupling component 150, which couples the upper frame 121b with the lower frame 121a. By means of this coupling component 150, the coupling process of the upper frame 121b with the lower frame 121a can be simplified, and a stable coupling between the two parts can be achieved. For example, this coupling component 150 may be a screw, but it is not necessarily limited thereto, and any structure may be used as long as the upper frame 121b and the lower frame 121a can be stably coupled.

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, the lower frame 121 a is provided with a first placement groove SH1 for placing the head 151 of the coupling member 150 , and the upper frame 121 b may be provided with a first fastening hole FH1 for fastening the body 152 of the coupling member 150 .

[0081] That is, the fastening direction of the coupling component 150 is from the lower frame 121a toward the upper frame 121b along the height direction Z, and the coupling component 150 passes through the lower frame 121a and is screwed to the inner surface of the first fastening hole FH1 disposed in the upper frame 121b. In addition, the lower frame 121a is provided with a first placement groove SH1 for placing the head 151 of the coupling component 150, thereby preventing the head 151 from being exposed and interfering with the pressurizing component 110.

[0082] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper frame 121b may be provided with a first extension hole EH1 extending from the first fastening hole FH1 toward the user's body. If the user lies on the massage device for warm massage, the upper portion of the pressurizing member 110 contacts the user's body. That is, the first extension hole EH1 is formed in the upper frame 121b disposed adjacent to the user's body.

[0083] During the manufacturing process of the pressurizing part 100, the staff can directly confirm whether the coupling member 150 is fastened or not through the first extension hole EH1. In addition, during the use of the massage device, the high-temperature air inside the first extension hole EH1 transfers heat to the user by convection and radiation, thereby achieving a more effective warm massage.

[0084] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the pressurizing part 100 may further include a bushing component 160 , which is disposed on the inner surface of the pressurizing component 110 to enable the pressurizing component 110 and the main body component 120 to rotate relative to each other.

[0085] As described above, since the pressurizing member 110 and the main body member 120 rotate relative to each other during the warm massage process, if the bushing member 160 is provided, the pressurizing member 110 can rotate smoothly and noise can be prevented during the rotation of the pressurizing member 110. In addition, since heat is transferred to the pressurizing member 110 by conduction through the bushing member 160, the heat transfer performance is improved.

[0086] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the bushing component 160 includes: a first bushing 161, which is arranged on one side of the width direction Y of the pressurizing component 110; a second bushing 162, which is arranged on the other side of the width direction Y of the pressurizing component 110; the first bushing 161 and the second bushing 162 are arranged at intervals from each other along the width direction Y, and an extension surface 111 may be arranged on the inner surface of the pressurizing component 110, and the extension surface 111 extends inward in the radial direction to be arranged between the first bushing 161 and the second bushing 162 which are arranged at intervals from each other.

[0087] That is, the first bushing 161 disposed on one side in the width direction Y is assembled in a direction from one side to the other side in the width direction Y, and the second bushing 162 disposed on the other side in the width direction Y is assembled in a direction from the other side to one side in the width direction Y, so that simple assembly can be achieved. In addition, in this way, the pressure member 110 is assembled to the support rod 121 in a state where the first bushing 161 and the second bushing 162 are assembled.

[0088] At this time, the first bushing 161 and the second bushing 162 are spaced apart from each other along the width direction Y, and an extension surface 111 extending radially inward is arranged between the two members. In particular, this extension surface 111 is arranged adjacent to the above-mentioned first extension hole EH1, thereby further improving the heat transfer performance.

[0089] like Figure 6 As shown, the support rod 121 and the connecting rod 122 are formed as one body, and the support rod 121 may be provided with a second insertion groove IH2 for inserting the heating component 130. That is, the support rod 121 and the connecting rod 122 are all formed as one body, which improves the structural stability, and the second insertion groove IH2 is provided to insert the heating component 130 into the support rod 121, thereby minimizing the contact resistance and achieving effective heat transfer.

[0090] like Figure 6 As shown, a connecting hole CH communicating with the second insertion slot IH2 may be configured in the connecting rod 122. That is, the heating component 130 may be inserted from the outside through the connecting hole CH formed in the connecting rod 122, and the heating component 130 may be set in the second insertion slot IH2 configured in the support rod 121. In this configuration, not only the heating component 130 but also the wires supplying current to the heating component 130 will not be exposed to the outside, so that the interference with other structures can be minimized during the process of the pressurizing part 100 rising or falling through the lifting part 300.

[0091] Fig. 9 is a perspective view showing a guide plate provided in a massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention; Fig.10 It is a perspective view showing an exploded state of a guide plate provided in a massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0092] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a guide plate 121c may be disposed between the upper frame 121b and the lower frame 121a, and the heating member 130 may be disposed on the guide plate 121c. The guide plate 121c can stably fix the position of the heating member 130 and improve the stability of the structure. In addition, if the heating member 130 is fixed to the guide plate 121c for modularization, when assembling the pressurizing unit 100, the guide plate 121c is disposed on the upper surface of the lower frame 121a, and the upper frame 121b is disposed on the upper surface of the guide plate 121c, and then these can be combined to perform simple assembly, thereby improving assemblability.

[0093] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the guide plate 121c may have an upper close-fitting surface 121c1, which is in close contact with the bottom of the upper frame 121b; a lower close-fitting surface 121c2, which is in close contact with the top of the lower frame 121a; and support ribs 121c3, which are in close contact with the side surfaces of the upper frame 121b and the lower frame 121a.

[0094] That is, the guide plate 121c can be stably arranged between the upper frame 121b and the lower frame 121a by the upper and lower contact surfaces 121c1 and 121c2 of the guide plate 121c. At this time, it is important that the upper and lower contact surfaces 121c1 and 121c2 are arranged at the same height as the heating member 130 along the height direction Z.

[0095] This is because if the upper and lower contact surfaces 121c1 and 121c2 are arranged relatively higher than the heating member 130, the heating member 130 is spaced apart from the upper frame 121b and the lower frame 121a and the heat transfer performance may be reduced. Alternatively, if the upper and lower contact surfaces 121c1 and 121c2 are arranged relatively lower, the heating member 130 is in close contact with the upper frame 121b and the lower frame 121a and the heat transfer performance may be ensured, but the guide plate 121c is spaced apart from the upper frame 121b and the lower frame 121a and the connection state may become unstable.

[0096] An electrode 131 and another electrode 132 may be disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the heating member 130. For example, if the electrode 131 is a + electrode, the other electrode 132 may be a - electrode. In this way, when the electrode 131 and another electrode 132 are disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the heating member 130, respectively, it is important to set the height of the heating member 130 in consideration of the thickness of such electrodes. That is, the upper and lower surfaces 121c1 and 121c2 are disposed at the same height in a state where the electrode 131 and another electrode 132 are disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the heating member 130, respectively.

[0097] At the same time, since the guide plate 121c is provided with support ribs 121c3 that are tightly attached to the two side surfaces of the upper frame 121b and the lower frame 121a, it is not only a process of assembling the pressurizing part 100, but also can prevent the heating part 130 from leaning to any side of the width direction Y when the user uses the massage device, and improve the structural stability of the pressurizing part 100.

[0098] like Figure 8 As shown, the pressurizing part 100 may further include a coupling component 150, which couples the upper frame 121b, the guide plate 121c, and the lower frame 121a. By means of this coupling component 150, the coupling process of the upper frame 121b, the guide plate 121c, and the lower frame 121a can be simplified, and a stable coupling between these components can be achieved. For example, this coupling component 150 may be a screw, but it is not necessarily limited thereto, and any structure may be used as long as these components can be stably coupled.

[0099] like Figure 8 As shown, the lower frame 121a is provided with a second placement groove SH2 for placing the head 151 of the combining component 150, the guide plate 121c is provided with a through hole TH for the main body 152 of the combining component 150 to pass through, and the upper frame 121b may be provided with a second fastening hole FH2 for fastening the main body 152 of the combining component 150.

[0100] That is, the fastening direction of the coupling component 150 is formed in the direction from the lower frame 121a to the upper frame 121b along the height direction Z, and the coupling component 150 sequentially passes through the lower frame 121a and the guide plate 121c and is screwed and fastened to the inner surface of the second fastening hole FH2 arranged in the upper frame 121b. In addition, the lower frame 121a is provided with a second placement groove SH2 for placing the head 151 of the coupling component 150, so that the head 151 can be prevented from being exposed and interfering with the pressurizing component 110.

[0101] At this time, the inner diameter of the through hole TH disposed in the guide plate 121c can be larger than the outer diameter of the main body 152 disposed in the coupling member 150. With such a configuration, the coupling member 150 and the guide plate 121c will not interfere with each other during the process of fastening the coupling member 150, so the main body 152 of the coupling member 150 can be easily screwed and fastened to the second fastening hole FH2. At the same time, as described above, the guide plate 121c is provided with support ribs 121c3 that are closely attached to both side surfaces of the upper frame 121b and the lower frame 121a, so even if the outer diameter of the main body 152 is smaller than the inner diameter of the through hole TH, the guide plate 121c can be stably fixed without shaking along the width direction Y.

[0102] like Figure 8As shown, the upper frame 121b may be provided with a second extension hole EH2 extending from the second fastening hole FH2 toward the user's body. If the user lies on the massage device for warm massage, the upper portion of the pressurizing member 110 contacts the user's body. That is, the second extension hole EH2 is formed in the upper frame 121b disposed adjacent to the user's body.

[0103] During the manufacturing process of the pressurizing part 100, the staff can directly confirm whether the coupling member 150 is fastened or not through the second extension hole EH2. In addition, during the use of the massage device, the high-temperature air inside the second extension hole EH2 transfers heat to the user by convection and radiation, thereby achieving a more effective warm massage.

[0104] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the pressurizing part 100 may further include a cover member 170, which is combined with the side of the pressurizing part 110. During the use of such a cover member 170, the pressurizing part 110 can be prevented from falling off in the width direction Y. The support rod 121 may be provided with a fixing protrusion and a fixing hole, the fixing protrusion passes through the cover member 170, and the fixing hole is fastened with a separate screw member for fixing the cover member 170. That is, when the cover member 170 is assembled, it is configured so that the fixing protrusion passes through the cover member 170 and is fixed by a screw member in a threaded fastening manner, so that the cover member 170 can be fixed at two points while being supported and fixed.

[0105] In addition, the cover member 170 may be formed with a fixing groove 171 that is coupled to the supporting rib 121c3 of the guide plate 121c, thereby stably fixing the guide plate 121c and improving the structural stability of the cover member 170.

[0106] As described above, the massage device with improved thermal performance according to an embodiment of the present invention is that, when the pressure-applying component 110 is directly supported by the main body component 120, a heating component 130 is arranged inside the main body component 120 to directly heat the main body component 120, and then the pressure-applying component 110 is heated by conduction. Therefore, even if the pressure-applying component 110 rotates during the thermal massage, no noise will be generated, and the main body component 120 supporting the pressure-applying component 110 is directly heated, thereby improving the heat transfer performance. Not only that, fatigue failure of the pressure-applying component 110 can also be prevented, and the temperature sensing component 140 is arranged on the main body component 120 in a non-rotating state, so that the temperature can be accurately measured, and an effective thermal massage can be achieved.

[0107] An embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the concept of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment presented in this specification. Technical personnel in the field who understand the concept of the present invention can easily propose other embodiments within the scope of the same concept by adding, changing, deleting, and increasing components, and this is also included in the scope of the concept of the present invention.
