Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a massage device, and more particularly to a warm massage device provided with an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED). Background Art

[0002] Traditionally, spinal thermal massage devices have been widely used to relieve acute or chronic pain in the muscles and nerves of the spine caused by prolonged work or habitual poor posture, and to improve blood circulation or relieve symptoms such as transient muscle stiffness. These devices move along the body, applying thermal stimulation to the painful area to promote blood flow.

[0003] In recent years, with the rise of the sharing economy, the use of multiple users sharing a single massage device has increased. Furthermore, as massage devices become increasingly popular, more and more people are trying out demonstration devices before purchasing one.

[0004] However, as described above, when a massage device used by multiple people is not sterilized, there are problems such as the possibility of spreading infectious diseases between people and the body odor of the previous user may cause subsequent users to feel uncomfortable.

[0005] In order to solve these problems, a sterilization function has been added to massage devices and commercialized. However, this sterilization function has the limitation of being applicable only to seated massage devices for users to use while sitting.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a technology that can solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0008] The present invention aims to solve the above problems. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a horizontal warm massage device with ultraviolet light emitting diodes that can be used for sterilization even if the device is for users to lie on their backs.

[0013] At this time, the sterilization part may be provided on the auxiliary part for sterilizing the first supporting surface.

[0014] At this time, one of the main body or the auxiliary part may be provided with a guide rail extending along the length direction, and the other may be provided with a guide roller moving along the guide rail, and the sterilization part may be provided on the opposite surface arranged opposite to the second supporting surface.

[0015] At this time, the rear end of the main body portion in the longitudinal direction and the front end of the auxiliary portion in the longitudinal direction are hinged to each other, and the sterilization portion can be provided on the second supporting surface.

[0016] At this time, side frames are respectively provided on both sides of the width direction of the main body, and an extension surface extending to a position higher than the first supporting surface is provided on the side frames. The sterilization part can be provided on the extension surface to sterilize the first supporting surface.

[0017] In this case, the first supporting surface may be disposed at a first height, and the sterilization section may be disposed at a second height higher than the first height along a height direction.

[0018] At this time, when the massage module is not in use, the second support surface may be configured at a third height higher than the first height, and the third height may be configured at a height lower than the second height.

[0019] At this time, the sensing part may include: a first sensing component for sensing the complete closure achieved by configuring the second supporting surface above the first supporting surface in the height direction, and the control part may be configured to: control the action of the sterilization part when receiving a complete closure signal from the first sensing component.

[0020] At this time, the control unit can be configured to: when receiving a manual sterilization mode signal from the user, first determine whether the warm massage action has ended; if after the warm massage action is ended, a complete closure signal is received from the first sensing component, then control the sterilization unit action.

[0021] At this time, the control unit may be configured to: upon receiving an automatic sterilization mode signal from the user, if a complete closing signal is received from the first sensing member after the warm massage action is completed, control the sterilization unit to operate.

[0022] At this time, the warm massage device may include: a sensing part provided with a second sensing component for sensing the user's position, and the control part may be configured to control the action of the sterilization part when receiving a safety signal from the second sensing component.

[0023] At this time, the control unit can be configured to: when receiving a safety signal from the second sensing component, control the action of the sterilization unit so that the first support surface is sterilized first; when the sterilization of the first support surface is completed, provide the user with a notification that the sterilization of the first support surface has been completed and the second support surface is ready for sterilization.

[0024] At this time, the sensing part may also include: a first sensing component for sensing the complete closure achieved by configuring the second supporting surface above the first supporting surface in the height direction; the control part may be configured as follows: when the user needs to manually move the auxiliary part, if a complete closure signal is received from the first sensing component and a safety signal is received from the second sensing component, the action of the sterilization part is controlled to sterilize the second supporting surface.

[0028] In addition, a sensing part is provided for sensing whether a user is present, and the control part can control the action of the sterilization part according to the signal transmitted by the sensing part, thereby preventing ultraviolet light from directly irradiating the user. In particular, when it is confirmed that the warm massage device is in the storage state according to the signal transmitted by the sensing part, the control part controls the sterilization part to sterilize at least one of the first support surface and the second support surface, thereby preventing serious harm to the user due to ultraviolet light.

[0029] In addition, since the sterilization part is provided in the auxiliary part, even if the user uses the warm massage device in a supine position, resulting in the user's weight being concentrated on the first support surface, the discomfort that the user may feel is minimized.

[0036] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art 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 explain the present invention, parts not relevant to the description are omitted from the drawings, and the same reference numerals are assigned to the same or similar components throughout the specification.

[0037] The words and terms used in this specification and claims are not limited to the usual or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted as meanings and concepts that are consistent with the technical ideas of the present invention based on the principle that inventors can define terms and concepts to explain their own inventions in the best way.

[0038] Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configuration shown in the drawings are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all technical ideas of the present invention. Therefore, the configuration can be replaced by various equivalents and modifications at the time of application of the present invention.

[0039] It should be understood that in this specification, terms such as "including" or "having" are intended to illustrate the existence of the features, numbers, steps, actions, constituent elements, parts or their combinations described in this specification, without excluding in advance the existence or additional possibilities of one or more other features or numbers, steps, actions, constituent elements, parts or their combinations.

[0040] Figure 1 and Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of a warm massage device provided with ultraviolet light emitting diodes according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 This is a diagram showing the use of the massage module. Figure 2 The figure shows the massage module in a non-use state. The X direction is the length direction (the same direction as the user's spine), the Y direction is the width direction, and the Z direction is the height direction.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a warm massage device equipped with ultraviolet light-emitting diodes according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a massage module 10, which performs warm massage on the user's body; a main body 100, which is provided with a first support surface 110 for supporting a part of the user's body; and an auxiliary part 200, which is provided with a second support surface 210 for supporting the remaining part of the user's body, and the auxiliary part 200 is arranged in a movable manner so that when the massage module 10 is used, the first support surface 110 and the second support surface 210 are arranged in a row along the length direction X, and when the massage module 10 is not used, the second support surface 210 is arranged at the upper part of the first support surface 110 in the height direction Z.

[0042] The massage module 10 may be provided on the main portion 100 for supporting a portion of the user's body, or on the auxiliary portion 200 for supporting the remaining portion of the user's body, or may be provided on both the main portion 100 and the auxiliary portion 200. The massage module 10 massages the user's body while moving along the longitudinal direction X, when provided on the main portion 100, the auxiliary portion 200, or both the main portion 100 and the auxiliary portion 200.

[0043] As an example, the massage module 10 may include: a pressurizing part that pressurizes the user's body, an ascending and descending part that causes the pressurizing part to rise or fall in the height direction Z, and a conveying part that causes the massage module 10 to move in the length direction X, but is not limited to this form of massage module 10. It may also include: a massage module 10 that, while its position in the height direction Z is fixed, only moves in the length direction X to massage the user's body, or, while its position in the length direction X is fixed, only ascends or descends in the height direction Z to massage the user's body.

[0044] At this time, a warm massage device equipped with ultraviolet light-emitting diodes according to one embodiment of the present invention includes: a sterilization part 300, which is equipped with ultraviolet light-emitting diodes 310 and is used to sterilize at least one of the first support surface 110 and the second support surface 210; and a control part 500, which is used to control the actions of the massage module and the sterilization part 300.

[0045] That is, the sterilizing portion 300 provided with the ultraviolet light emitting diode 310 is configured to sterilize at least one of the first supporting surface 110 and the second supporting surface 210, so that the lying-type warm massage device used by the user in a supine position can also achieve effective sterilization.

[0046] The UV LED can irradiate at least one of the first support surface 110 and the second support surface 210 with ultraviolet rays of various wavelengths. As an example, it can be configured not only to irradiate conventional ultraviolet light (generally in the UVC wavelength range), but also to irradiate excimer ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 172nm in the vacuum ultraviolet wavelength range. In this case, an excimer lamp can be provided to irradiate vacuum ultraviolet rays. Vacuum ultraviolet rays (VUV) have a wavelength of 100nm to 200nm, close to X-ray ultraviolet rays. Because they have very high photon energy, they can achieve effective sterilization.

[0047] As another example, the sterilization section 300 may also be configured to irradiate ultraviolet light using a discharge gas, and as the discharge gas, a discharge gas that generates excimer ultraviolet light may be used, such as Xe (xenon, wavelength 172 nm), ArF (argon fluoride, wavelength 193 nm), KrCl (argon fluoride, wavelength 222 nm), KrF (krypton fluoride, wavelength 248 nm), XeCl (xenon chloride, wavelength 308 nm), XeF (xenon fluoride, wavelength 351 nm), etc., but a substance that can generate ultraviolet rays in the UVC (short-wave ultraviolet) wavelength range (100 nm to 280 nm) may also be used.

[0048] In this case, the device may include a sensor unit 400 for sensing the presence of a user and whether the second support surface 210 is positioned above the first support surface 110 in the height direction Z. Specifically, the stronger the sterilization capability of the irradiated UV light, the more severe the harm it may cause if it directly irradiates the user. Therefore, it is important that the sterilization unit 300 sterilizes at least one of the first support surface 110 and the second support surface 210 while the user maintains a safe distance from the device. As previously mentioned, if the sensor unit 400 is provided for sensing the presence of a user, the control unit 500 can control the operation of the sterilization unit 300 based on the signal transmitted by the sensor unit 400, thereby preventing the UV light from directly irradiating the user.

[0049] Furthermore, the sensing unit 400 can also sense whether the second support surface 210 of the auxiliary unit 200 is positioned above the first support surface 110 of the main unit 100 in the height direction Z. When the massage module 10 is not in use, the auxiliary unit 200 is slidably moved to be positioned above the main unit 100 for storage. When the control unit 500 confirms that the warm massage device is in the stored state based on a signal transmitted by the sensing unit 400, it controls the sterilization unit 300 to sterilize at least one of the first support surface 110 and the second support surface 210, thereby preventing the user from being seriously injured by ultraviolet light.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sterilization unit 300 can be provided on the auxiliary unit 200 to sterilize the first support surface 1100. That is, since the user's body odor and the like may remain in the main unit 100 during the warm massage performed by the massage module 10 of the main unit 100, it is very important to be configured to be able to sterilize the main unit 100 in a centralized manner.

[0051] Preventing the sterilization unit 300 from causing discomfort to the user is also crucial. For example, the main unit 100 supports the user's upper body, while the auxiliary unit 200 supports the user's lower body. The upper body is typically larger and heavier than the lower body. Since users use the heating massage device while lying down, the user's weight is concentrated on the first support surface 110. Therefore, as previously mentioned, placing the sterilization unit 300 within the auxiliary unit 200 can minimize any discomfort the user might experience from the sterilization unit 300.

[0052] Figure 3 and Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a portion of a warm massage device provided with ultraviolet light emitting diodes according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 is a diagram showing the moving state of the auxiliary part, Figure 4 It is a diagram showing a state where the auxiliary portion is completely closed.

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, one of the main body 100 or the auxiliary part 200 can be provided with a guide rail RA extending along the length direction X, and the other can be provided with a guide roller RO moving along the guide rail RA, and the sterilization part 300 can be provided on the opposite surface 220 configured opposite to the second support surface 210.

[0054] As an example, the guide rails RA can be respectively arranged on the inner surfaces of the side frames 120 on both sides of the width direction Y of the main body 100, and horizontally arranged along the length direction X. Such guide rails RA can be made into separate components in the form of a pair of guide rails and arranged on the inner surface of the side frame 120, or can be integrally formed when the side frame 120 is formed, or can be configured to be installable or removable as needed.

[0055] Furthermore, the guide rollers RO can be formed as rollers or wheels so as to slide along the guide rails RA and can be provided on both sides of the auxiliary unit 200 in the width direction Y. In this case, the main body 100 can be provided with auxiliary rollers 130 for supporting the auxiliary unit 200. Specifically, during movement of the auxiliary unit 200, one side of the auxiliary unit 200 is supported by the guide rollers RO, while the other side of the auxiliary unit 200 moves while supported by the auxiliary rollers 130. With both sides of the auxiliary unit 200 supported, the auxiliary unit 200 can move while maintaining a horizontal position. Preferably, the auxiliary rollers 130 and guide rollers RO are provided at a height that allows the auxiliary unit 200 to maintain a horizontal position.

[0056] As another example, the guide roller RO may be provided on the main body 100 , and the guide rail RA may be provided on the auxiliary part 200 .

[0057] As described above, when the sterilization part 300 is arranged on the opposite surface 220 arranged opposite to the second support surface 210, when the massage module 10 is not used, the first support surface 110 can be sterilized by the sterilization part 300 when the auxiliary part 200 is arranged at the upper part in the height direction Z of the main body 100, and since the sterilization part 300 is arranged on the opposite surface 220 of the auxiliary part 200, the discomfort that the user may feel due to the sterilization part 300 can be minimized.

[0058] Figure 5 and Figure 6 is a cross-sectional view of a thermal massage device provided with ultraviolet light emitting diodes according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a diagram showing the use of the massage module. Figure 6 This is a diagram of the massage module when it is not in use.

[0059] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the rear end of the main body 100 in the longitudinal direction X and the front end of the auxiliary part 200 in the longitudinal direction X can be hinged to each other HI. That is, the auxiliary part 200 is configured to pivot in a hinged manner. At this time, the sterilization part 300 can be set on the second support surface 210. That is, when the massage module 10 is not in use, the first support surface 110 is sterilized by the sterilization part 300 in a state where the auxiliary part 200 is pivoted and arranged at the upper part in the height direction Z of the main body 100. However, since the legs 230 used to support the auxiliary part 200 protrude upward when the auxiliary part 200 pivots in a hinged manner, there is a risk of safety accidents. Therefore, when the auxiliary part 200 is pivoted, the legs 230 protruding upward can be folded and stored by providing leg hinges 231.

[0060] Figure 7 4 is a front view of a thermal massage device provided with ultraviolet light emitting diodes according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] like Figure 7 As shown, side frames 120 are provided on both sides of the main body 100 in the width direction Y. Extension surfaces 121 are provided on the side frames 120, extending to a position higher than the first support surface 110. The sterilization unit 300 can be positioned on the extension surfaces 121 to sterilize the first support surface 110. In other words, after the warm massage, the user can use a separate remote control to directly control the sterilization unit 300 to sterilize the first support surface 110. In this case, since the sterilization unit 300 is configured to be directly activated by the user, the sensor 400 for detecting the user's position is not required.

[0062] With the above configuration, not only can the first support surface 110 be effectively sterilized, but also because the sterilization unit 300 is disposed on the extension surface 121 of the side frame 120 , the discomfort that the user may feel due to the sterilization unit 300 can be minimized.

[0063] like Figure 7 As shown, the first support surface 110 can be configured at a first height h1, and the sterilization section 300 can be configured at a second height h2 higher than the first height h1 along the height direction Z, thereby achieving effective sterilization of the first support surface 110.

[0064] like Figure 7 As shown, when the massage module 10 is not in use, the second support surface 210 can be configured at a third height h3 that is higher than the first height h1, and the third height h3 is configured at a height lower than the second height h2. With this configuration, the sterilization unit 300 can sterilize not only the first support surface 110 but also the second support surface 210.

[0065] Specifically, when the massage module 10 is finished using, the first support surface 110 is sterilized first. After sterilization of the first support surface 110 is complete, the auxiliary unit 200 is slid and positioned above the main body 100, and then the second support surface 210 is sterilized. In this case, after the warm massage, the user can use a separate remote control to directly control the sterilization unit 300 to sterilize the first support surface 110. After sterilization of the first support surface 110 is complete, the user can directly slide the auxiliary unit 200, or use the sliding motor 240 (described later) to automatically slide the auxiliary unit 200, and then directly activate the sterilization unit 300 again to sterilize the second support surface 210. In this case, since the sterilization unit 300 is directly activated by the user, the sensor 400 for sensing the user's position may not be required.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sensing part 400 may include: a first sensing member 410, for sensing the complete closure achieved by configuring the second support surface 210 on the upper part of the first support surface 110 in the height direction Z. When a complete closure signal transmitted through the first sensing member 410 is received, the control part 500 can control the sterilization part 300 to operate.

[0067] Specifically, when the first sensing member 410 transmits a signal indicating the auxiliary portion 200 is fully closed, the sterilization unit 300 is activated. In this case, if the sterilization unit 300 is configured to sterilize only the first support surface 110, there is no need to sense the user's position. This is because the sterilization unit 300 activates only after sensing the complete closure of the auxiliary portion 200. When the auxiliary portion 200 is fully closed, the sterilization unit 300 is not exposed to the outside world, thus preventing the user from being injured by ultraviolet light.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when a manual sterilization mode signal is received from the user, the control unit 500 first determines whether the warm massage action has ended, and when a complete closure signal is received from the first sensing member 410 after the warm massage action is ended, the sterilization unit 300 can be controlled to operate.

[0069] That is, in the case where the user directly manually inputs the sterilization mode, the sterilization mode can be manually input when the warm massage device is in the retracted state. However, since the user may also manually input the sterilization mode due to an error during the warm massage operation, in this case, it is first determined whether the warm massage operation has ended. When the warm massage operation is detected to have ended and the auxiliary unit 200 is fully closed, the sterilization unit 300 is controlled to operate.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when receiving the automatic sterilization mode signal from the user, the control unit 500 can be configured to control the sterilization unit 300 to operate when receiving a full closing signal from the first sensing member 410 after the warm massage action is completed.

[0071] That is, when the sterilization mode is automatically input according to the massage mode selected by the user, if the complete closing signal transmitted by the first sensing member 410 is received after the warm massage action is completed, the sterilization part 300 is controlled to operate.

[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it may include: a sensing part 400, which is provided with a second sensing component 420 for sensing the user's position. When a safety signal is transmitted through the second sensing component 420, the control part 500 can control the sterilization part 300 to operate.

[0073] Specifically, when a safety signal is transmitted via the second sensing member 420, the control unit 500 controls the operation of the sterilization unit 300. In this case, the sterilization unit 300 can sterilize both the first support surface 110 and the second support surface 210. However, since the sterilization unit 300 is exposed to the outside, it is important to configure it to prevent the user from being injured by the sterilization unit 300. Specifically, the second sensing member 420 only transmits a safety signal when the user is at a safe distance from the UV LEDs 310 of the sterilization unit 300, preventing injury. Furthermore, when the warm massage action ends and the user is at a safe distance, the sterilization unit 300 is controlled to sterilize the first support surface 110.

[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the second sensing component 420 transmits a safety signal, the control unit 500 controls the action of the sterilization unit 300 so that the first support surface 110 is sterilized first, and when the sterilization of the first support surface 110 is completed, the control unit 500 can provide the user with a notification that the sterilization of the first support surface 110 has been completed and the second support surface 210 is ready for sterilization.

[0075] That is, since the sterilization unit 300 is disposed on the side frame 120 of the main body 100, the first support surface 110 is sterilized first. In order to sterilize the second support surface 210, the auxiliary unit 200 needs to be slidably moved so as to be positioned at the upper portion of the main body 100 in the height direction Z. In this case, if the auxiliary unit 200 is configured to be directly moved manually by the user, the user will slide the auxiliary unit 200 after confirming that sterilization of the first support surface 110 has been completed and that the second support surface 210 is ready for sterilization.

[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the sensing part 400 may further include: a first sensing member 410, for sensing the complete closure achieved by configuring the second support surface 210 on the upper part of the first support surface 110 in the height direction Z. If the auxiliary part 200 needs to be moved manually by the user, upon receiving the complete closure signal from the first sensing member 410 and the safety signal from the second sensing member 420, the control part 500 controls the action of the sterilization part 300 to sterilize the second support surface 210.

[0077] That is, the user needs to approach and slide the movement assisting unit 200 again after the first support surface 110 is sterilized. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm whether the user has moved away to a safe distance before the sterilization unit 300 sterilizes the second support surface 210.

[0079] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the sensing part 400 may further include: a first sensing member 410, for sensing the complete closure achieved by configuring the second support surface 210 on the upper part of the first support surface 110 in the height direction Z; when the second sensing member 420 transmits a safety signal, the control part 500 may control the action of the sterilization part 300 so as to sterilize the first support surface 110 first; when the sterilization of the first support surface 110 is completed, the control part 500 may actuate the sliding motor 240 provided on the auxiliary part 200 so as to automatically move the auxiliary part 200; and when receiving the complete closure signal transmitted by the first sensing member 410, the control part 500 may control the action of the sterilization part 300 so as to sterilize the second support surface 210.

[0080] That is, when the auxiliary portion 200 is configured to automatically slide and move via the sliding motor 240, the auxiliary portion 200 automatically moves after the sterilization of the first support surface 110 is completed, so the user does not need to approach again. Therefore, after the sterilization of the first support surface 110 is completed, the auxiliary portion 200 automatically moves, and once a signal indicating that the auxiliary portion 200 is fully closed is received, the second support surface 210 can be sterilized.

[0081] Through the above configuration, not only can the user be protected, but the first support surface 110 and the second support surface 210 can also be sterilized in a simple manner.

[0082] As described above, a thermal massage device equipped with ultraviolet light-emitting diodes according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to sterilize at least one of the first support surface 110 and the second support surface 210 via a sterilization unit 300 equipped with ultraviolet light-emitting diodes 310, thereby enabling effective sterilization even when the user is lying on their back. Furthermore, a sensing unit 400 is provided for sensing the presence of a user, and a control unit 500 controls the operation of the sterilization unit 300 based on a signal transmitted by the sensing unit 400, thereby preventing ultraviolet light from directly irradiating the user. In particular, when the control unit 500 confirms that the thermal massage device is in a retracted state based on a signal transmitted by the sensing unit 400, the sterilization unit 300 is controlled to sterilize at least one of the first support surface 110 and the second support surface 210, thereby preventing the user from being seriously injured by ultraviolet light. Furthermore, since the sterilizing unit 300 is provided in the auxiliary unit 200 , even if the user uses the thermal massage device in a supine position, causing the user's weight to be concentrated on the first support surface 110 , the user's discomfort is minimized.

[0083] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the concept of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment presented in this specification. Ordinary technicians 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 appending constituent elements, but this also falls within the scope of the concept of the present invention.
