Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an ottoman equipped with a massage device, and more particularly to an ottoman that can be used as an ottoman on which a user can comfortably place a part of their body while sitting on a chair during normal times, and that can comfortably massage a part of the user's body while sitting on a chair when necessary. [Background technology]
[0002] Generally, people use an ottoman, a type of furniture, to rest their feet comfortably while sitting on a chair. Such ottomans are usually sold together with the chair or purchased separately.
[0003] In order for a user to massage his / her feet using such an ottoman, a separately provided foot massager is placed on the ottoman. However, when used in this manner, since the foot massager is placed on the ottoman, which has a certain height, the user's feet are placed too high, which causes inconvenience to the user during the foot massage.
[0004] Conventional massage chairs are equipped with a foot massager for massaging the user's feet, but the foot massager equipped in the massage chair cannot be used as an ottoman, and is not suitable for using only the foot massager while sitting on furniture such as a chair. Furthermore, massage chairs are expensive products, so they are not suitable for purchasing for the purpose of using the ottoman function or for foot massage.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need to develop a technology that can be used as an ottoman under normal circumstances and can also massage the user's feet when necessary. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

Conversely, when a layer, film, region, plate, or other part is described as being "under" another part, this includes not only when it is "directly under" the other part, but also when there is another part between them.
[0032] FIG. 1 is a side view of an ottoman equipped with a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a front view of the ottoman equipped with a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0033] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, an ottoman equipped with a massage device according to the present invention may include a main body 100 equipped with massage members 110 for massaging parts of a user's body, a support 200 provided on the underside of the main body 100 for adjusting the height h of the main body 100 from the ground g, a cover 300 surrounding the upper surface of the main body 100, and a control unit 400 for controlling the operation of the main body 100 and the support 200.
[0034] The main body 100 is provided with a massaging member 110 to massage a part of the user's body. For example, the user can perform a foot massage by placing his / her feet on the main body 100 while sitting on a separate piece of furniture such as a chair, or by placing his / her feet on the main body 100 to perform a foot massage.
[0035] The support 200 is provided on the underside of the body 100, and the support 200 adjusts the height h of the body 100 so that the body 100 is spaced apart from the ground g. That is, the support 200 adjusts the height h of the body 100 to a height h at which a user can comfortably place his / her feet on the body while sitting on a chair or the like and receive a massage. The support 200 may be provided with an antenna type or bellows type case, and various devices for adjusting the height of the body 100 may be provided inside the case. For example, a height adjustment member having a ball screw structure, a height adjustment member using a hydraulic cylinder, a jack type or lead screw type height adjustment member, a height adjustment member using a gas lifting method, etc. may be provided. A height lever for operating the height adjustment member may be provided on one side of the body 100. In this case, the support 200 may be provided with an inclination angle adjustment member for adjusting the inclination angle of the body 100. That is, the inclination angle adjusting member is used to adjust the inclination of the main body 100 to a certain angle with the ground g. For example, the inclination angle adjusting member can be adjusted to form an inclination of about 22.5 degrees forward toward the user, or to form an inclination of about 22.5 degrees backward in the opposite direction. For this purpose, the inclination angle adjusting member can be configured to have an inclination angle adjustment range of about 45 degrees. A tilting lever for operating the inclination angle adjusting member can be provided on the other side of the main body 100. The user can adjust the inclination angle of the main body 100 by pulling the tilting lever, and when the tilting lever is released in a state where the inclination angle of the main body 100 is adjusted, the inclination angle of the main body 100 is fixed.
[0036] In addition, a cover part 300 is provided on the upper surface of the main body part 100 to surround the main body part 100, and when the cover part 300 is attached, a user can use it as an ottoman by placing a part of his / her body on the cover part 300. The cover part 300 can be made of a synthetic resin material having elasticity and rigidity.
[0037] In addition, the control unit 400 controls the operations of the main body 100 and the support unit 200. That is, if the control unit 400 is configured to automatically control the operations of the massage members 110 provided in the main body 100 and the height adjustment members provided in the support unit 200, user convenience can be improved.
[0038] As described above, the main body 100 is provided with the massage member 110 so that it can massage parts of the user's body, and the support part 200 is configured to adjust the height h of the main body 100 so that the height h of the main body 100 can be adjusted to suit the usage state, improving user convenience. In particular, the cover part 300 is provided on the upper part of the main body 100 so that it can be used as an ottoman on which a part of the user's body can be placed, and the control part 400 is provided so that the operation of the main body 100 and the support part 200 can be automatically controlled, improving user convenience.
[0039] FIG. 3 is a side view illustrating a state in which a cover part of an ottoman equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention is separated, and FIG. 4 is a front view illustrating a state in which a cover part of an ottoman equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention is separated.
[0040] 3 and 4, the device may further include a first sensor 500 for sensing that the cover 300 is separated from the body 100. When a user separates the cover 300 to use the massage members 110 provided on the body 100, the first sensor 500 senses that the cover 300 is separated from the body 100 during the process of separating the cover 300, and thus the control unit 400 controls the operation of the massage members 110 provided on the body 100 and the operation of the height adjustment members provided on the support 200.
[0041] The first sensing unit 500 may be disposed on at least one of the upper surface of the body 100 or the lower surface of the cover 300. As an example, the first sensing unit 500 may use a switch-type sensor. When the first sensing unit 500 is disposed on the upper surface of the body 100 or on the lower surface of the cover 300, the switch is pressed when the cover 300 is attached to the upper surface of the body 100, and the cover 300 is separated from the body 100 by using the release of the pressed state of the switch in the process of separating the cover 300 from the body 100. The first sensing unit 500 may be provided on both the upper surface of the body 100 and the lower surface of the cover 300. In addition to the switch-type sensor, the first sensing unit 500 may also be a touch-type sensor or a sensor that detects light.
[0042] FIG. 5 is a front view illustrating a state in which the height of the body of an ottoman having a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention is adjusted with a cover separated therefrom.
[0043] As shown in Figures 2 and 5, the upper surface of the cover part 300 is provided with an outer support surface 310 spaced a first height h1 from the ground g to support a part of the user's body, and the main body part 100 is provided with a receiving groove 111 having an inner support surface 111a spaced a second height h2 from the ground g while a part of the user's body is inserted therein. When a separation signal of the cover part 300 is input from the first detection part 500, the control part 400 can control the operation of the support part 200 so that the inner support surface 111a moves to the first height h1.
[0044] That is, an outer support surface 310 for supporting a part of the user's body is formed on the upper surface of the cover part 300, and the user can use it as an ottoman by using the outer support surface 310. At this time, the outer support surface 310 is disposed at a first height h1 from the ground g so that the user can comfortably place a part of the body such as the legs or feet when sitting on a chair, etc. The first height h1 can be set differently depending on the user's physical condition, and the user can input the desired first height h1 using the input part 600.
[0045] The main body 100 is also formed with receiving grooves 111 into which a part of the user's body is inserted, and the user can receive a massage by operating the massage members 110 while inserting a part of the user's body, such as a leg or foot, into the receiving groove 111. At this time, the receiving groove 111 is formed with an inner support surface 111a for supporting the inserted part of the user's body, and the inner support surface 111a is disposed at a position spaced apart from the ground g by a second height h2.
[0046] In addition, when a user places part of his / her body on the outer support surface 310 and uses it as an ottoman, and separates the cover part 300 for a massage, a separation signal of the cover part 300 is input to the control unit 400 through the first sensing unit 500, and in such a case, the control unit 400 controls the operation of the support part 200 so that the inner support surface 111a located at the second height h2 moves to the first height h1.
[0047] In other words, by moving the height of the inner support surface 111a upward to the height of the outer support surface 310, the height is maintained the same when used as an ottoman and when using the massage member 110, eliminating the inconvenience that a user may feel due to the difference in height.
[0048] In addition, when a user separates the cover part 300 to use the massage member 110, a separation signal of the cover part 300 is generated through the first sensing unit 500. This separation signal is input to the control unit 400, and the control unit 400 automatically moves the height of the inner support surface 111a upward, thereby improving user convenience.
[0049] In addition, after using the massage member 110, the user will reattach the cover part 300 to use it as an ottoman or when all use is finished. At this time, whether or not the cover part 300 is attached can be detected through the first detection part 500, and when a signal indicating that the cover part 300 is attached is input to the control part 400, the height h of the main body part 100 can be controlled to be lowered again.
[0050] At this time, the control unit 400 may further include an input unit 600 for inputting a first height h1 or a second height h2 desired by the user, and the control unit 400 may control the operation of the support unit 200 to correspond to the first height h1 or the second height h2 inputted through the input unit 600. That is, since the height at which the user feels comfortable varies depending on the physical condition of the user, when the user inputs the height through the input unit 600, the control unit 400 controls the operation of the support unit 200 to match the input height. The control unit 400 may include a storage member such as a memory in which height values such as the first height h1 or the second height h2 inputted by the user through the input unit 600 are stored.
[0051] Alternatively, the control unit 400 can control the operation of the massage member 110 or the support unit 200 according to a signal inputted through the input unit 600. The signal inputted through the input unit 600 can be transmitted to the control unit 400 in a wired manner such as a communication cable, or can be transmitted to the control unit 400 through a signal transmission method such as infrared rays (IR) or Bluetooth (registered trademark). In addition, when a support module 800 for supporting another part of the user's body is used together as described below, the signal inputted through an input unit provided in the support module 800 can be configured to be transmitted to the control unit 400 in the above-mentioned signal transmission method.
[0052] At this time, the control unit 400 can control the massage members 110 to operate when a separation signal of the cover unit 300 is input from the first detection unit 500. With this configuration, the massage members 110 can be prevented from operating arbitrarily when the user is using it as an ottoman, and the massage members 110 operate only when the cover unit 300 is separated to use the massage members 110, thereby ensuring the safety of the user.
[0053] That is, as described above, when the cover part 300 is separated to use the massage function for massaging a part of the body, the height of the main body part 100 is automatically adjusted, and the height of the main body part 100 can be input by the user, thereby improving user convenience.
[0054] FIG. 6 is a front view illustrating a state in which the height of the body of an ottoman having a massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention is adjusted with the cover separated.
[0055] 6, the device may further include a second sensor 700 for sensing that a part of the user's body is inserted into the main body 100. That is, the second sensor 700 senses that the user has correctly inserted a part of the body into the receiving groove 111 formed in the main body 100 in order to use the massage member 110, and the massage member 110 is configured to operate only in this case, thereby preventing malfunction and ensuring the safety of the user.
[0056] In this case, the upper surface of the cover part 300 is provided with an outer support surface 310 spaced a first height h1 from the ground g to support a part of the user's body, and the main body part 100 is provided with a receiving groove 111 having an inner support surface 111a spaced a second height h2 from the ground while a part of the user's body is inserted therein, and when a signal indicating that a part of the user's body is being inserted is input from the second sensing part 700, the control part 400 can control the operation of the support part 200 so that the inner support surface 111a moves to the first height h1.
[0057] As described above, the upper surface of the cover part 300 is formed with the outer support surface 310 for supporting a part of the user's body, and the user can use the outer support surface 310 as an ottoman. The body part 100 is also formed with the receiving groove 111 for inserting a part of the user's body, and the user can receive a massage through the operation of the massage member 110 while inserting a part of the body such as the foot or leg into the receiving groove 111. That is, when the user places a part of the body on the outer support surface 310 and uses the body as an ottoman, and then separates the cover part 300 and inserts a part of the body into the receiving groove 111 for a massage, a signal indicating that a part of the user's body is inserted is input to the control unit 400 through the second detection unit 700, and in this case, the control unit 400 controls the operation of the support part 200 so that the inner support surface 111a disposed at the second height h2 moves to the first height h1.
[0058] By moving the height of the inner support surface 111a upward to the height of the outer support surface 310 in this manner, the height is maintained the same when using it as an ottoman and when using the massage member 110, eliminating the inconvenience felt by the user due to the difference in height. After the user separates the cover part 300 to use the massage member 110, when it is detected through the second detection part 700 that part of the body has been completely inserted into the receiving groove 111, such a signal is input to the control part 400, and the height of the inner support surface 111a is automatically moved upward, thereby improving user convenience.
[0059] In addition, when the user removes a part of the body from the receiving groove 111 after using the massage member 110, the second sensor 700 detects whether a part of the body of the user has been removed, and the control unit 400 receives such a removal signal from the second sensor 700 and controls the height h of the main body 100 to be lowered again for use as an ottoman or for termination of use.
[0060] In this case, the second sensor 700 senses the pressure applied by the massage member 110 to a part of the user's body, and the controller 400 can be configured to control the operation of the support unit 200 when a pressure signal indicating that the part of the user's body is being pressed is input from the second sensor 700. That is, the pressure is automatically adjusted according to the strength of pressure applied to the part of the user's body through the massage member 110.
[0061] 7 and 8 are side views illustrating a state in which an ottoman equipped with a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention is used together with a support module that supports other parts of the user's body, and a state in which the height of the main body is adjusted in conjunction with the arrangement of the support module.
[0062] 7 and 8, the control unit 400 may be configured to control the operation of the support unit 200 when a signal is input from a support module 800 supporting another part of the user's body. As described above, a user sits on furniture such as a chair and uses an ottoman function or a massage function, and a signal input from a support module 800 such as a chair supporting another part of the user's body such as the upper body or buttocks is transmitted to the control unit 400 to control the support unit 200 to operate.
[0063] Such a support module 800 may include an upper plate member 810 that supports the user's upper body and a lower plate member 820 that supports the user's buttocks, and the control unit 400 may be configured to control the operation of the support unit 200 when a signal indicating an inclination angle θ of the lower plate member 820 that is provided in the support module 800 and supports the user's buttocks is input.
[0064] In other words, as shown in FIG. 8, if there is a reclining function that allows the support module 800 to be tilted within a certain angle range so that the user's upper body can be leaned against it, as the user's upper body and buttocks move upward at a certain angle, the user's feet and the like also move together, and the operation of the support part 200 is controlled so that the main body part 100 moves upward to match the inclination angle θ at which the main body part 100 tilts in this way.
[0065] In this case, the control unit 400 can control the operation of the support unit 200 so that the separation height h of the main body unit 100 increases when the inclination angle θ of the lower plate member 820 increases, and can control the operation of the support unit 200 so that the separation height h of the main body unit 100 decreases when the inclination angle θ of the lower plate member 820 decreases.
[0066] That is, as described above, when the user's upper body, buttocks, and feet move upward as the inclination angle θ of the lower plate member 820 increases, the support unit 200 is operated to increase the separation height h of the main body unit 100 so that the user does not feel uncomfortable, and conversely, when the user's upper body, buttocks, and feet move downward as the inclination angle θ of the lower plate member 820 decreases, the support unit 200 is operated to decrease the separation height h of the main body unit 100.
