Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a massage module for a massage machine, and more specifically, to a massage module for a massage machine capable of performing massage actions of the first to fourth massage components in various ways and achieving the same massage as actual manual therapy. Background Technology
[0002] In reality, most modern people suffer from various spinal diseases due to a variety of factors, including incorrect posture while studying or working, bad lifestyle habits, injuries caused by strenuous leisure activities, injuries caused by traffic accidents, insufficient exercise, and aging.
[0003] Spinal diseases commonly experienced by modern people include various conditions such as cervical / lumbar disc herniation (commonly known as cervical / lumbar disc herniation), spinal fractures, anterior vertebral dysplasia, spinal dysplasia, scoliosis, and cervical / lumbar strain. If these spinal diseases are not treated promptly, the pain can become very severe, significantly impacting daily life.
[0004] Therefore, the trend is towards developing and commercializing therapeutic devices with various forms and functions to prevent spinal diseases or alleviate or treat pain caused by spinal diseases at home. In particular, recently, a massage machine that can perform various physical or thermal therapies on the entire spine, including the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae, while the user is lying down has gained attention through various media and is now available on the market.
[0005] Massage machines typically consist of a massage module housed within a bed-shaped main body. This massage module, equipped with massage components such as rollers, ceramic pads, or acupressure balls, is positioned within the main body to reciprocate linearly along its length. In such massage machines, the massage components, rising and falling with the operation of the massage module, stimulate the user's body, thereby providing a massage. Related prior art is published in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0507738 (Prior Art 1) and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1528980 (Prior Art 2).
[0006] In prior art 1, a thermotherapy device is disclosed, which divides a mat into a first mat and a second mat to stimulate the user's spinal meridians and acupoints. A track section, a surface heating element, and a "ㄈ"-shaped movable guide frame are arranged opposite to each other inside the second mat. The movable frame with movable wheels is freely arranged in the front-back direction on the width of the track section, the surface heating element, and the movable guide frame. Above the movable frame, there are multiple lamp-type acupressure balls that emit far-infrared rays and ultraviolet germicidal lamps that emit germicidal rays. A mobile acupressure frame that moves up and down is formed according to the load position of the user lying on the second mat. A movable shaft and elastic component are formed at each corner of the movable frame and the mobile acupressure frame to enable the mobile acupressure frame to move up and down.
[0007] However, in the case of this prior art 1, when a load is applied to the acupressure ball as a massage component according to the user's body shape, the moving frame and the acupressure ball supported by the movable acupressure frame of the elastic component can move, while the acupressure ball itself cannot move up and down.
[0008] According to the problem of prior art 1, prior art 2 discloses a ceramic lifting device for a thermotherapy instrument, which is configured to include a base plate, a first lifting component hinged to the base plate, a second lifting component hinged to the base plate, a drive unit disposed on the base plate and transmitting power for the lifting action of the first lifting component, an elastic component disposed between the first lifting component and the second lifting component, and a plurality of ceramic components disposed on the first and second lifting components.
[0009] In this prior art 2, the first lifting component rises and falls by being driven by a drive unit, and the ceramic component on the upper surface of the first lifting component rises and falls together with the first lifting component. However, in this case, the ceramic components arranged side by side on the first lifting component rise and fall together, so that only the areas arranged side by side with the user's middle spine as a reference can be massaged simultaneously. That is, in actual manual therapy performed by a physical therapist, the areas in the left and right diagonal directions are massaged simultaneously with the user's middle spine as a reference to correct spinal distortion or relax the erector spinae muscles, etc. However, prior art 2 can only massage the areas arranged side by side with the user's middle spine as a reference, so there is a problem that it is impossible to perform massage in a way similar to manual therapy performed by a physical therapist.

[0075] The following describes a massage module for a massage machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0076] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a perspective view showing a massage module 1 (hereinafter referred to as "massage module") for a massage machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded 3D diagram.
[0077] Figure 1 The massage module 1 shown includes massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 for massaging the user's spine and is mounted on a massage machine. For example, massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 may include a first massage component 810, a second massage component 820, a third massage component 830, and a fourth massage component 840.
[0078] The massage machine equipped with massage module 1 can be a thermotherapy device. Massage module 1 can be built into the main body (not shown) of the massage machine, which is shaped like a bed. The user's upper body can be placed on the main body (not shown). A sub-body (not shown) on which the user's lower body rests can be connected to the main body (not shown) in a folding or sliding manner.
[0079] The massage module 1 can be configured to slide and engage with a space formed inside the main body (not shown) and move along the length of the main body (not shown). The length of the main body (not shown) can be the length of the user's spine lying on the main body (not shown). For example, it can be based on... Figure 1 The direction shown is called the front-to-back direction, which is the length direction of the main body (not shown).
[0080] Massage module 1 can be built into the main body (not shown) and perform massage on the user's entire spine in a linear reciprocating motion along the front-back direction. For example, massage module 1 can massage the lumbar, thoracic, or cervical vertebrae of a user lying on the main body (not shown) while moving in the front-back direction. Massage module 1 can provide physical massage to the user and can also utilize heat therapy in parallel.
[0081] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The massage module 1 includes a base 10. The base 10 can be connected to the main body of the massager (not shown) in a manner that allows it to be conveyed in the back-and-forth direction. The base 10 can support the eccentric rotating components 600 and 700 and the massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 described below. The base 10 can perform linear reciprocating motion inside the main body (not shown) via a conveying unit 101 provided on one side of the base 10.
[0082] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The base 10 includes a base plate 100. The base plate 100 may be the lowest structure forming the base 10. The base plate 100 may be configured to reciprocate linearly in the front-back direction within the interior space of the main body (not shown). For example, the base plate 100 may be connected to the main body (not shown) in a manner that allows it to slide inside the main body (not shown).
[0083] The base plate 100 includes a flat plate portion 110. The flat plate portion 110 may be a plate-shaped component for mounting various structures of the massage module 1. The flat plate portion 110 may be a flat, square plate that is wide in the horizontal direction.
[0084] An anti-interference hole 111 can be formed in the center of the flat plate portion 110. The anti-interference hole 111 can be formed to extend through the flat plate portion 110 in the vertical direction. The anti-interference hole 111 can have a shape that allows the drive unit 500 and the protective cover 500a, which are located at the lower part of the massage plate 300, to pass through. Depending on the shape of the drive unit 500 and the protective cover 500a, the front-to-back width of the left side portion and the front-to-back width of the right side portion are different based on the center. For example, the anti-interference hole 111 can be formed with a stepped shape, where the front-to-back width of the left side portion is smaller than the front-to-back width of the right side portion.
[0085] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A support bracket 103 can be connected to one side of the flat plate 110. The support bracket 103 is a medium for connecting the conveying unit 101 to the flat plate 110, and it can be provided on the flat plate 110. For example, the support bracket 103 can be connected to the rear end of the flat plate 110 with the conveying unit 101 mounted on it.
[0086] The support bracket 103 includes a support frame 103a. The support frame 103a may be an elongated frame formed in the front-to-back direction. A pair of support frames 103a may be fixed to the rear side of the flat plate portion 110. The pair of support frames 103a may be spaced apart in the left-to-right direction.
[0087] The support bracket 103 includes a support plate 103b. The support plate 103b may be a wide square plate formed in the horizontal direction. The support plate 103b may be fixed in a position above a pair of support frames 103a.
[0088] The support bracket 103 includes a support wall 103c. The support wall 103c can be a wide square plate formed in the vertical direction. The support wall 103c can be formed to extend vertically upwards from one end of the support plate 103b. The support wall 103c can be integrally formed with the support plate 103b. For example, the support wall 103c can be integrally formed at the right end of the support plate 103b, forming a vertical shape perpendicular to the support plate 103b. A circular hole extending in the left-right direction is formed in the support wall 103c.
[0089] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A conveying unit 101 can be provided on the support bracket 103. The conveying unit 101 can be provided on the support bracket 103 to provide the power required for the base plate 100 to perform linear reciprocating motion.
[0090] The conveying unit 101 includes a conveying motor 101a. The conveying motor 101a may have a rotating shaft that rotates in one direction or another. For example, the rotating shaft of the conveying motor 101a may rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. The conveying motor 101a may serve as a drive source for conveying the base plate 100.
[0091] The conveying unit 101 includes a conveying gear section 101b. The lower surface of the conveying gear section 101b can be placed on the upper surface of the support plate 103b. The conveying gear section 101b can be fixed with its right side against the left side of the support wall 103c. The conveying gear section 101b can be connected to a conveying motor 101a. For example, the conveying gear section 101b can be connected with its left side against the right side of the conveying motor 101a. Multiple gears that are linked to the rotational shaft of the conveying motor 101a can be housed inside the conveying gear section 101b. The output shaft of the conveying gear section 101b can protrude through its right side. The output shaft of the conveying gear section can be configured to pass through a hole formed in the support wall 103c from left to right. The conveying gear section 101b can be a gearbox for reducing the rotational speed of the conveying motor 101a.
[0092] The conveying gear section 101b and the conveying motor 101a can be configured as a geared motor. Each gear located inside the conveying gear section 101b can reduce the rotational speed input from the conveying motor 101a and output it through the output shaft.
[0093] The conveying unit 101 includes a pinion 101c. The pinion 101c can be fixed to the right end of the output shaft of the conveying gear section 101b. The pinion 101c can rotate together with the output shaft of the conveying gear section 101b. The pinion 101c can mesh with a rack (not shown) that is arranged in a longitudinal direction on the main body (not shown) of the massager. The pinion 101c can be driven by the conveying motor 101a to rotate forward or backward and move along the rack (not shown) arranged on the main body (not shown) in the longitudinal direction. Thus, the base plate 100, which is fixed to the conveying unit 101 with the support bracket 103 as a medium, can be conveyed by linear motion in the longitudinal direction.
[0094] Reference Figure 2 The base plate 100 includes a side wall portion 120. The side wall portion 120 may be elongated in the front-rear direction.

Multiple guide wheels 121 can be disposed at intervals on their respective side wall portions 120. The guide wheels 121 can be inserted into and supported in a track component (not shown) provided in the main body (not shown). The guide wheels 121 can roll on the track component (not shown), thereby smoothly and steadily guiding the linear reciprocating motion of the base plate 100.
[0096] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The base 10 includes a lifting unit 200. The lifting unit 200 is used to raise and lower the massage plate 300, which is connected to the upper part of the lifting unit 200, and the massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 disposed on the upper part of the massage plate 300, relative to the base plate 100. The lifting unit 200 can be disposed between the base plate 100 and the massage plate 300. The lifting unit 200 operates based on the sensing results of a separate sensing unit (not shown) that senses the overall spinal curvature of the user, raising and lowering the massage plate 300 and the massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 to accommodate the user's spinal curvature. Through this operation, the lifting unit 200 can apply mechanical force to the entire spine, including the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae, using the massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840, thereby enabling massage and physical therapy for correcting spinal curvature.
[0097] The lifting unit 200 includes an air bag 210. The air bag 210 can be formed into a bag shape that can expand or contract with the injection or discharge of air.
[0098] The air bag 210 can be disposed between the base plate 100 and the massage plate 300. The lower part of the air bag 210 can be placed directly or indirectly on the upper surface of the flat plate portion 110 of the base plate 100 and fixed in various ways, and the upper part of the air bag 210 can be fixed to the lower surface of the massage plate 300 in various ways to support the massage plate 300.
[0099] Multiple air bags 210 can be provided between the base plate 100 and the massage plate 300. For example, one air bag 210 can be provided on the front side and one on the rear side between the base plate 100 and the massage plate 300.

[0105] The linkage component 220 may include a lower linkage 225. One end of the lower linkage 225 may be hinged to one side of the first linkage joint 221 to allow rotation between the first linkage joint 221 and the lower linkage 225. Two lower linkages 225 may be provided to one linkage component 220. Each lower linkage 225 may be rotatably connected to its corresponding first linkage joint 221.
[0106] The linkage component 220 may include an upper linkage 227. One end of the upper linkage 227 is hinged to the other end of a lower linkage 225 via a connecting shaft 229. The upper linkage 227 and the lower linkage 225 are rotatable relative to each other about the connecting shaft 229. The upper linkage 227 and the lower linkage 225 can be folded or unfolded relative to each other by rotation. Two upper linkages 227 may be provided to a linkage component 220. Each upper linkage 227 can be rotatably connected to its corresponding lower linkage 225 via a connecting shaft 229.
[0107] The linkage component 220 may include a second linkage connection portion 223. The second linkage connection portion 223 can be directly connected to the upper surface of the massage plate 300.

One side of the second linkage connection portion 223 may be hinged to the other end of the upper linkage 227 to allow rotation between the second linkage connection portion 223 and the upper linkage 227.
[0108] When air is injected into the air bag 210, causing the massage plate 300 to rise, the lower connecting rod 225 and the upper connecting rod 227 can unfold relative to each other. When air is expelled from the air bag 210, causing the massage plate 300 to fall, the lower connecting rod 225 and the upper connecting rod 227 can fold relative to each other.
[0109] Figure 3 This is a right view showing the front part of the massage plate 300 in a massage module 1 for a massage machine according to an embodiment of the present invention being pressurized. Figure 4 This is a right view showing the state in which the rear portion of the massage plate 300 in the massage module 1 for a massage machine according to an embodiment of the present invention is pressurized.
[0110] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4Because the pressure applied to the massage plate 300 and massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 changes in response to the curvature of the user's spine, the shape of the air bag 210 changes accordingly. That is, the air bag 210 can actively respond to the curvature of the user's spine by adjusting the massage plate 300 and massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840. Therefore, the massage module 1 does not apply excessive force to the user's spine when massaging the user.
[0111] For example, when the massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 are pressurized due to the user's spinal curvature, and the front portion of the massage plate 300 supported by the front and rear air bags 210 is pressurized, the shape of the front air bag 210 will change due to being pressed by the massage plate 300. Thus, as... Figure 3 As shown, the front part of the massage plate 300 will naturally tilt downward in accordance with the curvature of the user's spine. The massage module 1 can improve the degree of freedom of the massage plate 300 and the massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 in relation to the curvature of the user's spine.
[0112] Furthermore, when the massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 are pressurized due to the user's spinal curvature, and the rear portion of the massage plate 300 supported by the front and rear air bags 210 is pressurized, the shape of the rear air bag 210 changes due to the pressure from the massage plate 300. Thus, as... Figure 4 As shown, the rear of the massage plate 300 will naturally tilt downward in accordance with the curvature of the user's spine. The massage module 1 can improve the degree of freedom of the massage plate 300 and the massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 in relation to the curvature of the user's spine.
[0113] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base 10 includes a massage plate 300. The massage plate 300 can be a plate-shaped component used to set various structures of the massage module 1. The massage plate 300 can be a flat, square plate that is wide in the horizontal direction.
[0114] The massage plate 300 can be disposed on the upper part of the base plate 100 and the lifting unit 200. The massage plate 300 can be connected to the base plate 100 via the lifting unit 200. For example, the lower surface of the massage plate 300 can be connected to the upper part of the air bag 210 and the second connecting rod joint 223 of the connecting rod member 220, and the upper surface of the base plate 100 can be connected to the lower part of the air bag 210 and the first connecting rod joint 221 of the connecting rod member 220. That is, the massage plate 300 can be supported by the lifting unit 200 connected to the upper part of the base plate 100.
[0115] The massage plate 300 can be raised and lowered by the air bag 210. For example, when air is injected into the air bag 210, the massage plate 300 is pushed upward by the expanding air bag 210, thereby rising from the base plate 100. At this time, the lower connecting rod 225 and the upper connecting rod 227 of the connecting rod member 220 can open and unfold. Alternatively, when air is expelled from the air bag 210, the massage plate 300 descends downward toward the base plate 100 along with the contracting air bag 210. At this time, the lower connecting rod 225 and the upper connecting rod 227 of the connecting rod member 220 can overlap and fold. When the base 10 moves along the length direction (front-back direction) of the user's spine, the massage plate 300 tilts while pressurizing the air bag 210 in accordance with the curvature of the user's spine.
[0116] A mounting hole 310 may be formed in the massage plate. The mounting hole 310 may be formed to extend through the massage plate 300 in the vertical direction. The mounting hole 310 may be a square-shaped hole. The mounting hole 310 may be formed at a position off to one side from the center of the massage plate 300. For example, the mounting hole 310 may be formed on the right side with the center of the massage plate 300 as a reference.

[0176] A second eccentric hole 650a may be formed in the second eccentric portion 650. The second eccentric hole 650a may be formed at a position offset from the center of the second eccentric portion 650. For example, the second eccentric hole 650a may be formed at a position at a certain distance from the center of the second eccentric portion 650. The second eccentric hole 650a may be formed to extend through the second eccentric portion 650 in the front-back direction.
[0177] A first adjustment groove 650b may be formed in the second eccentric portion 650. The first adjustment groove 650b is provided to adjust the eccentric rotation of the second eccentric portion 650. The first adjustment groove 650b may be formed recessed towards the rear on the front side of the second eccentric portion 650. The first adjustment groove 650b may be formed as an arch surrounding a portion of the circumference of the second eccentric hole 650a. The first adjustment groove 650b may be directly connected to the second eccentric hole 650a. The first adjustment groove 650b may be open towards the front. The first adjustment groove 650b may be formed such that the first adjustment pin 615 housed inside can rotate freely at a certain angle around the first shaft portion 610.
[0178] Inside the first adjusting groove 650b, a first locking surface 657 forming the lower left surface and a second locking surface 659 forming the lower right surface, when viewed from the initial state, can be formed. The vertical distance between the first locking surface 657 and the center of the second eccentric hole 650a is formed to be the same as the radius of the first adjusting pin 615, so that the first adjusting pin 615 can be properly positioned on the first locking surface 657. The vertical distance between the second locking surface 659 and the center of the second eccentric hole 650a is formed to be the same as the radius of the first adjusting pin 615, so that the first adjusting pin 615 can be properly positioned on the second locking surface 659. The first locking surface 657 and the second locking surface 659 can form an angle with each other. For example, the angle between the first locking surface 657 and the second locking surface 659 can be 180 degrees. The first locking surface 657 and the second locking surface 659 can be symmetrical about their center relative to each other. The first locking surface 657 and the second locking surface 659 can be located below an imaginary line connecting the center of the second eccentric portion 650 and the center of the second eccentric hole 650a, and are parallel to the aforementioned imaginary line. The first locking surface 657 and the second locking surface 659 can be configured horizontally in the initial state.
[0179] A second mounting groove 650c may be formed in the second eccentric portion 650. The second mounting groove 650c may be formed at the center of the outer peripheral surface of the second eccentric portion 650. The second mounting groove 650c may be formed as a recess along the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the second eccentric portion 650. The second mounting groove 650c may be formed in the form of a closed curve on the outer peripheral surface of the second eccentric portion 650.
[0180] The second eccentric portion 650 can be connected to the rear portion of the first shaft portion 610. The first shaft portion 610 can be inserted into the second eccentric portion 650 through the second eccentric hole 650a. The first shaft portion 610 is inserted into the second eccentric hole 650a, which is formed at a position offset from the center of the second eccentric portion 650, so that the second eccentric portion 650 can be eccentrically connected to the first shaft portion 610. The second eccentric portion 650 can be located between the first bearing 620 disposed at the center of the first shaft portion 610 and the first linkage gear 630 disposed at the rear portion of the first shaft portion 610. The first eccentric portion 640 can be located between the second shaft support portion 450 and the third shaft support portion 460. The second eccentric portion 650 can be configured such that, in the initial state, the point on the outer peripheral surface of the second eccentric portion 650 furthest from the center of the first shaft portion 610 (hereinafter referred to as the "rising point of the first eccentric portion") faces to the right, the same as the rising point of the first eccentric portion 640. For example, in the initial state, the rising and falling point of the second eccentric portion 650 can be located horizontally on the right side relative to the center of the first shaft portion 610 and the center of the second eccentric hole 650a, in a manner that faces the 3 o'clock direction when viewed from the front.
[0181] In the initial state, the first eccentric portion 640 and the second eccentric portion 650 can be positioned side by side in the front-rear direction. In the initial state, the first eccentric portion 640 and the second eccentric portion 650 can have the same phase relative to the first shaft portion 610.
[0182] One end of the first adjusting pin 615 protruding from the first shaft portion 610 can be accommodated in the first adjusting groove 650b of the second eccentric portion 650. For example, the right end of the first adjusting pin 615 can be inserted into the first adjusting groove 650b, and the right end of the first adjusting pin 615 can be positioned on the second locking surface 659 inside the first adjusting groove 650b. The inner back surface (inner rear bottom surface) of the first adjusting groove 650b is locked by the first adjusting pin 615, thereby restricting the forward movement of the second eccentric portion 650 when connected to the first shaft portion 610. The first adjusting pin 615 can rotate freely at a certain angle within the first adjusting groove 650b. For example, when the first shaft portion 610 rotates counterclockwise, the first adjusting pin 615 can rotate freely 180 degrees from the second locking surface 659 to the first locking surface 657. After that, the second eccentric portion 650 can be eccentrically rotated counterclockwise by pushing the first locking surface 657.
[0183] The back surface of the second eccentric portion 650 can be located at the front end of the corresponding first insert groove 617. For example, the back surface of the second eccentric portion 650 can be located at the front end of the third first insert groove 617 from the front among the first insert grooves 617 formed in the first shaft portion 610. The back surface of the second eccentric portion 650 is locked by a first locking member 660 inserted into the third first insert groove 617 from the front, thereby restricting the rearward movement of the second eccentric portion 650 when connected to the first shaft portion 610.
[0184] In this way, the second eccentric portion 650 can be eccentrically connected to the first shaft portion 610 through the first adjusting pin 615 and the first locking member 660.
[0185] The second eccentric portion 650 includes a cylindrical second front large diameter portion 651, a cylindrical second small diameter portion 653 having a diameter smaller than that of the second front large diameter portion 651, and a cylindrical second rear large diameter portion 655 having the same diameter as that of the second front large diameter portion 651.
[0186] The second front large-diameter portion 651, the second small-diameter portion 653, and the second rear large-diameter portion 655 can be sequentially positioned along the front-rear direction. The centers of the second front large-diameter portion 651, the second small-diameter portion 653, and the second rear large-diameter portion 655 can be aligned with each other. The second small-diameter portion 653 can be located between the second front large-diameter portion 651 and the second rear large-diameter portion 655 to connect the second front large-diameter portion 651 and the second rear large-diameter portion 655.
[0187] The outer peripheral surface of the second small diameter portion 653 may be in a stepped shape that is collapsed relative to the outer peripheral surfaces of the second front large diameter portion 651 and the second rear large diameter portion 655. The second mounting groove 650c of the second eccentric portion 650 may be formed by being surrounded by the back of the second front large diameter portion 651, the outer peripheral surface of the second small diameter portion, and the front of the second rear large diameter portion 655.
[0188] The second front large-diameter portion 651 and the second small-diameter portion 653 are integrally formed from the beginning and therefore cannot be separated. The second small-diameter portion 653 and the second rear large-diameter portion 655 can be formed separately from each other and can be separated or joined together.
[0189] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first eccentric rotating component 600 includes first adjusting portions 615 and 650b. The first adjusting portions 615 and 650b may be disposed on at least any one of the first shaft portion 610, the first eccentric portion 640, and the second eccentric portion 650. For example, the first adjusting portions 615 and 650b may include the previously described first adjusting pin 615 and first adjusting groove 650b.
[0190] When the drive unit 500 rotates in one direction in its initial state, causing the first shaft 610 to rotate counterclockwise, the first adjustment units 615 and 650b can delay the eccentric rotation of the second eccentric part 650 after the first eccentric part 640 has rotated eccentrically by a certain angle. That is, after the first eccentric part 640 has rotated eccentrically by a certain angle in the counterclockwise direction, the first adjustment units 615 and 650b can cause the second eccentric part 650 to rotate eccentrically in the counterclockwise direction. For example, the certain angle can be 180 degrees. Thus, the first adjustment units 615 and 650b can create a phase difference between the first eccentric part 640 and the second eccentric part 650, which have the same phase in the initial state, allowing the first eccentric part 640 and the second eccentric part 650 to rotate eccentrically with different phases. Regarding the first eccentric part 640 and the second eccentric part 650, their respective rising and falling points can alternately face upwards and rotate eccentrically.
[0191] When the drive unit 500, which operates in one direction, rotates in another direction, causing the first shaft portion 610 to rotate clockwise, the first adjustment portions 615 and 650b enable the first eccentric portion 640 and the second eccentric portion 650, which rotate eccentrically with different phases, to align to the same phase or to rotate eccentrically together in a state of being aligned to the same phase.
[0192] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8The second eccentric rotating component 700 includes a second shaft portion 710. The second shaft portion 710 may be a circular shaft that is elongated in the front-rear direction. The second shaft portion 710 may be rotatably disposed on the upper side of the base 10. For example, the second shaft portion 710 may be disposed through the mounting bracket 400 and located on the upper right side of the massage plate 300. The second shaft portion 710 may be configured to the same height as the first shaft portion 610. The second shaft portion 710 may be located side-by-side to the right of the first shaft portion 610. The second shaft portion 710 may be positioned parallel to the first shaft portion 610.
[0193] The second shaft portion 710 rotates under the drive of the drive unit 500. For example, the second shaft portion 710 can rotate in one direction or another in conjunction with the rotation direction of the drive unit 500 when it is operating. The second shaft portion 710 can rotate simultaneously with the first shaft portion 610, or it can rotate in the opposite direction to the first shaft portion 610. For example, when the drive unit 500 rotates in one direction, the second shaft portion 710 can rotate clockwise, while the first shaft portion 610 can rotate counterclockwise. When the drive unit 500 rotates in the opposite direction (i.e., another direction), the second shaft portion 710 can rotate counterclockwise, while the first shaft portion 610 can rotate clockwise. That is, the drive unit 500, the second shaft portion 710, and the first shaft portion 610 can be linked together. The second shaft 710 receives rotational force from the drive unit 500 and rotates, thereby enabling the third eccentric portion 740 and the fourth eccentric portion 750 to rotate eccentrically as described below.
[0194] A third retaining pin 711 may be connected to the second shaft portion 710. The third retaining pin 711 may be a cylindrical pin. The third retaining pin 711 may be formed to extend from one side to the other. The third retaining pin 711 may be inserted into a third retaining pin hole 711a formed on the rear side of the second shaft portion 710 for connection. The third retaining pin hole 711a may be formed to extend through the second shaft portion 710 in the radial direction. The third retaining pin 711 may be formed to be longer than the diameter of the second shaft portion 710 in the length direction. The third retaining pin 711 may be inserted into the third retaining pin hole 711a and at least one end of the third retaining pin 711 may protrude outward toward the outer peripheral surface of the second shaft portion 710. For example, at least one end of the third retaining pin 711 may protrude from the third retaining pin hole 711a.
[0195] A fourth retaining pin 713 may be connected to the second shaft portion 710. The fourth retaining pin 713 may be a cylindrical pin. The fourth retaining pin 713 may be formed to extend from one side to the other. The fourth retaining pin 713 may be inserted into a fourth retaining pin hole 713a formed on the rear side of the second shaft portion 710 for connection. The fourth retaining pin hole 713a may be located on the rear side of the third retaining pin hole 711a. The fourth retaining pin hole 713a may be formed to extend through the second shaft portion 710 in the radial direction. The fourth retaining pin 713 may be formed to be longer than the diameter of the second shaft portion 710 in the length direction. The fourth retaining pin 713 may be inserted into the fourth retaining pin hole 713a and at least one end of the fourth retaining pin 713 may protrude outward toward the outer side of the outer peripheral surface of the second shaft portion 710. For example, at least one end of the fourth retaining pin 713 may protrude from the fourth retaining pin hole 713a.
[0196] A second adjusting pin 715 can be connected to the second shaft portion 710. The second adjusting pin 715 can be a cylindrical pin. The second adjusting pin 715 can be formed to extend from one side to the other. The second adjusting pin 715 can be inserted into a second adjusting pin hole 715a formed on the front side of the second shaft portion 710 for connection. The second adjusting pin hole 715a can be located on the front side of the third fixing pin hole 711a. The second adjusting pin hole 715a can be formed to extend through the second shaft portion 710 in the radial direction. The second adjusting pin 715 can be formed to be longer than the diameter of the second shaft portion 710 in the length direction. The second adjusting pin 715 can be inserted into the second adjusting pin hole 715a and one end of the second adjusting pin 715 protrudes outward toward the outer side of the outer peripheral surface of the second shaft portion 710. For example, the left end of the second adjusting pin 715 can protrude toward the left side of the second adjusting pin hole 715a. The second adjusting pin 715 can be accommodated in the second adjusting groove 740b described below.
[0197] A second insert groove 717 is formed in the second shaft portion 710. The second insert groove 717 may be formed by being recessed along the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the second shaft portion 710. The second insert groove 717 may be formed in the form of a slit. Multiple second insert grooves 717 may be provided. For example, five second insert grooves 717 may be provided. Two second insert grooves 717 may be formed spaced apart at the front portion of the second shaft portion 710, and three second insert grooves 717 may be formed spaced apart at the rear portion of the second shaft portion 710. The spacing between each second insert groove 717 may vary as needed.
[0198] A second retaining member 760 can be inserted into the second inserting groove 717. The second retaining member 760 is inserted into each of the second inserting grooves 717, thereby connecting to the second shaft portion 710. The second retaining member 760 connected to the second inserting groove 717 can be formed as a flange protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the second shaft portion 710 toward the radial direction. The second retaining member 760 can constrain each component mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the second shaft portion 710 to a predetermined position on the second shaft portion 710. The second retaining member 760 can be an open ring. The second retaining member 760 and the second inserting groove 717 can be provided on the second shaft portion 710 corresponding to the positions where they are connected to the third sleeve 770, the third eccentric portion 740, the fourth eccentric portion 750, the second linkage gear 730, and the fourth sleeve 780, respectively.
[0199] The second shaft portion 710 can be inserted into the second bearing 720. At least one second bearing 720 can be installed at the front, central, and rear portions of the second shaft portion 710. For example, one second bearing 720 can be installed at the front and rear portions of the second shaft portion 710, and two second bearings 720 can be installed at the central portion of the second shaft portion 710.
[0200] The lower part of the second bearing 720, which is installed at the front of the second shaft portion 710, can be inserted into the right-side first shaft support groove 441 of the mounting bracket 400. The lower part of the second bearing 720, which is installed at the center of the second shaft portion 710, can be inserted into the right-side second shaft support cover 451 of the mounting bracket 400. The lower part of the second bearing 720, which is installed at the rear of the second shaft portion 710, can be inserted into the right-side third shaft support groove 461 of the mounting bracket 400. In this way, the second shaft portion 710 can be rotatably supported by the first shaft support portion 440, the second shaft support portion 450, and the third shaft support portion 460 of the mounting bracket 400 through each of the second bearings 720.
[0201] The first shaft support portion 440, the second shaft support portion 450, and the third shaft support portion 460 used to support the second shaft portion 710 can be connected to the first shaft support cover 440a, the second shaft support cover 450a, and the third shaft support cover 460a in a corresponding manner. The upper part of the second bearing 720 installed at the front of the second shaft portion 710 can be inserted into the fourth shaft support groove 441a on the right side. The upper part of the second bearing 720 installed at the center of the second shaft portion 710 can be inserted into the fifth shaft support groove 451a on the right side. The upper part of the second bearing 720 installed at the rear of the second shaft portion 710 can be inserted into the sixth shaft support groove 461a on the right side. Each of the second bearings 720 and the second shaft portion 710 supported therethrough corresponds to the first shaft support portion 440, the second shaft support portion 450 and the third shaft support portion 460 and is connected to the first shaft support cover 440a, the second shaft support cover 450a and the third shaft support cover 460a, so that it can be stably supported and will not detach from the right side of the bracket 400.
[0202] A third sleeve 770 can be embedded in the second shaft portion 710. The third sleeve 770 can be embedded in the front side of the second shaft portion 710. The third sleeve 770 can be located adjacent to the front face of the second bearing 720 mounted on the front face of the second shaft portion 710. The third sleeve 770 can be located at the rear end of the corresponding first insertion groove 617. For example, the front face of the third sleeve 770 can be located at the rear end of the first second insertion groove 717 formed in the second shaft portion 710 from the front. The front face of the third sleeve 770 is held in place by a second locking member 760 inserted into the first second insertion groove 717 from the front, thereby restricting the forward movement of the third sleeve 770 while connected to the second shaft portion 710.
[0203] A fourth sleeve 780 can be embedded in the second shaft portion 710. The fourth sleeve 780 can be embedded in the rear side of the second shaft portion 710. The fourth sleeve 780 can be located adjacent to the back side of the second bearing 720 mounted on the rear side of the second shaft portion 710. The fourth sleeve 780 can be located at the front end of the corresponding second insertion groove 717. For example, the back side of the fourth sleeve 780 can be located at the front end of the fifth second insertion groove 717 formed in the second shaft portion 710 from the front. The back side of the fourth sleeve 780 is locked by a second locking member 760 inserted into the fifth second insertion groove 717 from the front, thereby restricting the rearward movement of the fourth sleeve 780 when connected to the second shaft portion 710.
[0204] A sensing blade 790 is provided on the second shaft portion 710. The sensing blade 790 can be fixed to the front end of the second shaft portion 710. The sensing blade 790 can rotate together with the second shaft portion 710 when the second shaft portion 710 rotates. The rotation state of the sensing blade 790 can be sensed by the rotation sensing sensor unit 443, thereby the rotation sensing sensor unit 443 can sense the rotation state of the first shaft portion 610 and the second shaft portion 710 that rotate together with the sensing blade 790.
[0205] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 The second eccentric rotating component 700 includes a second linkage gear 730. The second linkage gear 730 is provided for linkage between the first eccentric rotating component 600 and the second eccentric rotating component 700. The second linkage gear 730 can be a spur gear. The lower part of the second linkage gear 730 can mesh with the upper part of the output gear 530. The left side of the second linkage gear 730 can mesh with the right side of the first linkage gear 630. The second linkage gear 730 can rotate in the opposite direction to the first linkage gear 630. For example, when the second linkage gear 730 rotates clockwise, the first linkage gear 630 can rotate counterclockwise. Conversely, when the second linkage gear 730 rotates counterclockwise, the first linkage gear 630 can rotate clockwise. The second linkage gear 730 can use the rotational force provided by the drive unit 500 to rotate the second shaft portion 710, and can transmit the rotational force provided by the drive unit 500 to the first shaft portion 610 through the first linkage gear 630.
[0206] A second shaft hole 731 may be formed in the second linkage gear 730. The second shaft hole 731 may be formed at the center of the second linkage gear 730. The second shaft hole 731 may be formed to pass through the second linkage gear 730 in the front-back direction.
[0207] A second pin constraint groove 733 may be formed in the second linkage gear 730. The second pin constraint groove 733 is provided to fix the second linkage gear 730 to the second shaft portion 710. The second pin constraint groove 733 may be formed recessed towards the rearward side on the front surface of the second linkage gear 730. The second pin constraint groove 733 may be formed transversely through the second shaft hole 731 on one side of the circumference of the second shaft hole 731 and on the opposite side of the circumference. The second pin constraint groove 733 may be open towards the frontward side and may communicate directly with the second shaft hole 731. The width of the second pin constraint groove 733 may correspond to the same diameter as the fourth fixing pin 713.
[0208] The second linkage gear 730 can be connected to the rear portion of the second shaft portion 710. The second shaft portion 710 can be inserted into the second linkage gear 730 through the second shaft hole 731. The second linkage gear 730 can be located between the second bearing 720 disposed in the central portion of the second shaft portion 710 and the second bearing 720 disposed in the rear portion of the second shaft portion 710. The second linkage gear 730 can be located between the second shaft support portion 450 and the third shaft support portion 460. The lower end of the second linkage gear 730 can be accommodated in the second through hole 413. The second linkage gear 730 can avoid interference from the mounting plate 410 due to the second through hole 413.
[0209] The second linkage gear 730 can mesh with the output gear 530 located at the lower part through the setting hole 310 and the second through hole 413. Therefore, the second linkage gear 730 can receive the rotational force transmitted from the drive motor 520 and rotate, and transmit the transmitted rotational force to the first linkage gear 630, thereby enabling the first linkage gear 630 and the first shaft portion 610 fixed to the first linkage gear 630 to rotate together.
[0210] A fourth fixing pin 713, protruding from the second shaft portion 710, can be inserted into the second pin constraint groove 733 of the second linkage gear 730. The inner back surface (inner rear bottom surface) of the second pin constraint groove 733 of the second linkage gear 730 is locked by the fourth fixing pin 713, thereby restricting the forward movement of the second linkage gear 730 when connected to the second shaft portion 710. The two sides in the vertical width direction of the inner surface of the second pin constraint groove 733 of the second linkage gear 730 are locked by the fourth fixing pin 713, thereby allowing the second linkage gear 730 to rotate together with the second shaft portion 710.
[0211] The back side of the second linkage gear 730 can be located at the front end of its corresponding second insertion slot 717. For example, the back side of the second linkage gear 730 can be located at the front end of the fourth second insertion slot 717 formed in the second shaft portion 710 from the front. The back side of the second linkage gear 730 is locked by a second locking member 760 inserted into the fourth second insertion slot 717 from the front, thereby restricting the rearward movement of the second linkage gear 730 when connected to the second shaft portion 710.
[0212] In this way, the second linkage gear 730 can be connected to the second shaft portion 710 via the fourth fixing pin 713 and the second locking member 760.
[0213] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8The second eccentric rotating component 700 includes eccentric portions 740 and 750. Eccentric portions 740 and 750 can be eccentrically connected to the second shaft portion 710. Multiple eccentric portions 740 and 750 eccentrically connected to the second shaft portion 710 can be provided. For example, two eccentric portions 740 and 750 eccentrically connected to the second shaft portion 710 can be provided and spaced apart in the front-rear direction.
[0214] The second eccentric rotating member 700 includes a third eccentric portion 740 connected to the front side of the second shaft portion 710. The third eccentric portion 740 may be formed as a cylinder having a central axis facing the front-rear direction when viewed as a whole. The third eccentric portion 740 may perform the function of raising and lowering the third massage member 830 described below by eccentric rotation with the rotation of the second shaft portion 710.
[0215] A third eccentric hole 740a may be formed in the third eccentric portion 740. The third eccentric hole 740a may be formed at a position offset from the center of the third eccentric portion 740. For example, the third eccentric hole 740a may be formed at a certain distance from the center of the third eccentric portion 740. The third eccentric hole 740a may be formed to extend through the third eccentric portion 740 in the front-back direction.
[0216] A second adjustment groove 740b may be formed in the third eccentric portion 740. The second adjustment groove 740b is provided to adjust the eccentric rotation of the third eccentric portion 740. The second adjustment groove 740b may be formed recessed towards the front side on the back surface of the third eccentric portion 740. The second adjustment groove 740b may be formed as an arch surrounding a portion of the circumference of the third eccentric hole 740a. The second adjustment groove 740b may be directly connected to the third eccentric hole 740a. The second adjustment groove 740b may be open towards the rear side. The second adjustment groove 740b may be formed such that the second adjustment pin 715 housed inside can rotate freely at a certain angle around the second shaft portion 710.
[0217] Inside the second adjusting groove 740b, a third locking surface 747, which forms the lower left surface when viewed from the initial state, and a fourth locking surface 749, which forms the lower right surface, can be formed. The vertical distance between the third locking surface 747 and the center of the third eccentric hole 740a is formed to be the same as the radius of the second adjusting pin 715, so that the second adjusting pin 715 can be appropriately placed on the third locking surface 747. The vertical distance between the fourth locking surface 749 and the center of the third eccentric hole 740a is formed to be the same as the radius of the second adjusting pin 715, so that the second adjusting pin 715 can be appropriately placed on the fourth locking surface 749. The third locking surface 747 and the fourth locking surface 749 can form an angle with each other. For example, the angle between the third locking surface 747 and the fourth locking surface 749 can be 180 degrees. The third locking surface 747 and the fourth locking surface 749 can be symmetrical about their respective centers. The third locking surface 747 and the fourth locking surface 749 can be located below the imaginary line connecting the center of the third eccentric portion 740 and the center of the third eccentric hole 740a, and are parallel to the aforementioned imaginary line. The third locking surface 747 and the fourth locking surface 749 can be configured horizontally in the initial state.
[0218] A third mounting groove 740c may be formed in the third eccentric portion 740. The third mounting groove 740c may be formed at the center of the outer peripheral surface of the third eccentric portion 740. The third mounting groove 740c may be formed as a recess along the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the third eccentric portion 740. The third mounting groove 740c may be formed in the form of a closed curve on the outer peripheral surface of the third eccentric portion 740.
[0219] The third eccentric portion 740 can be connected to the front portion of the second shaft portion 710. The second shaft portion 710 can be inserted into the third eccentric portion 740 through the third eccentric hole 740a. The second shaft portion 710 is inserted into the third eccentric hole 740a, which is formed at a position offset from the center of the third eccentric portion 740, so that the third eccentric portion 740 can be eccentrically connected to the second shaft portion 710. The third eccentric portion 740 can be located between the second bearing 720 disposed at the front portion of the second shaft portion 710 and the second bearing 720 disposed at the center portion of the second shaft portion 710. The third eccentric portion 740 can be located between the first shaft support portion 440 and the second shaft support portion 450. The third eccentric portion 740 can be configured such that, in the initial state, the point on the outer peripheral surface of the third eccentric portion 740 furthest from the center of the second shaft portion 710 (hereinafter referred to as the "rising point of the third eccentric portion") faces to the left. For example, in the initial state, the rising and falling point of the third eccentric portion 740 can be located horizontally to the left of the center of the second shaft portion 710 and the center of the third eccentric hole 740a in a manner that faces the 9 o'clock direction when viewed from the front, and can be opposite to the rising and falling point of the first eccentric portion 640.
[0220] One end of the second adjusting pin 715 protruding from the second shaft portion 710 can be accommodated in the second adjusting groove 740b of the third eccentric portion 740. For example, the left end of the second adjusting pin 715 can be inserted into the second adjusting groove 740b, and the left end of the second adjusting pin 715 can be positioned on the third locking surface 747 inside the second adjusting groove 740b. The inner front surface (inner front side bottom surface) of the second adjusting groove 740b of the third eccentric portion 740 is locked by the second adjusting pin 715, thereby restricting the rearward movement of the third eccentric portion 740 when connected to the second shaft portion 710. The second adjusting pin 715 can rotate freely at a certain angle within the second adjusting groove 740b. For example, when the second shaft 710 rotates clockwise in the initial state, the second adjusting pin 715 can rotate 180 degrees from the third locking surface 747 to the fourth locking surface 749. After that, the third eccentric part 740 can be eccentrically rotated clockwise by pushing the fourth locking surface 749 in the clockwise direction.
[0221] The front of the third eccentric portion 740 can be located at the rear end of the corresponding second insert groove 717. For example, the front of the third eccentric portion 740 can be located at the rear end of the second second insert groove 717 from the front in each of the second insert grooves 717 formed in the second shaft portion 710. The front of the third eccentric portion 740 is locked by the second locking member 760 inserted into the second second insert groove 717 from the front, thereby restricting the movement of the third eccentric portion 740 toward the front side when connected to the second shaft portion 710.
[0222] In this way, the third eccentric portion 740 can be eccentrically connected to the second shaft portion 710 via the second adjusting pin 715 and the second locking member 760.
[0223] The third eccentric portion 740 may include a cylindrical third front large diameter portion 741, a cylindrical third small diameter portion 743 having a diameter smaller than that of the third front large diameter portion 741, and a cylindrical third rear large diameter portion 745 having the same diameter as that of the third front large diameter portion 741.
[0224] The third front large-diameter portion 741, the third small-diameter portion 743, and the third rear large-diameter portion 745 can be sequentially positioned along the front-rear direction. The centers of the third front large-diameter portion 741, the third small-diameter portion 743, and the third rear large-diameter portion 745 can be aligned with each other. The third small-diameter portion 743 can be located between the third front large-diameter portion 741 and the third rear large-diameter portion 745 to connect the third front large-diameter portion 741 and the third rear large-diameter portion 745.
[0225] The outer peripheral surface of the third small diameter portion 743 may be in a stepped shape that is collapsed relative to the outer peripheral surfaces of the third front large diameter portion 741 and the third rear large diameter portion 745. The third mounting groove 740c of the third eccentric portion 740 may be formed by being surrounded by the back of the third front large diameter portion 741, the outer peripheral surface of the third small diameter portion, and the front of the third rear large diameter portion 745.
[0226] The third front large diameter portion 741 and the third small diameter portion 743 are integrally formed from the beginning and therefore cannot be separated. The third small diameter portion 743 and the third rear large diameter portion 745 can be formed separately and can be separated or joined together.
[0227] The second eccentric rotating member 700 includes a fourth eccentric portion 750 connected to the rear side of the second shaft portion 710. The fourth eccentric portion 750 may be formed as a cylinder having a central axis pointing in the front-rear direction when viewed as a whole. The fourth eccentric portion 750 may perform the function of raising and lowering the fourth massage member 840 described below by eccentric rotation with the rotation of the second shaft portion 710.
[0228] A fourth eccentric hole 750a may be formed in the fourth eccentric portion 750. The fourth eccentric hole 750a may be formed at a position offset from the center of the fourth eccentric portion 750. For example, the fourth eccentric hole 750a may be formed at a certain distance from the center of the fourth eccentric portion 750. The fourth eccentric hole 750a may be formed to extend through the fourth eccentric portion 750 in the front-back direction.
[0229] A second pin retaining groove 750b may be formed in the fourth eccentric portion 750. The second pin retaining groove 750b is provided to fix the fourth eccentric portion 750 to the second shaft portion 710. The second pin retaining groove 750b may be formed recessed towards the rearward side on the front surface of the fourth eccentric portion 750. The second pin retaining groove 750b may be formed transversely through the fourth eccentric hole 750a on one side of the circumference and the opposite side of the circumference. The second pin retaining groove 750b may be formed to extend straight outward in a radial direction from the fourth eccentric hole 750a. The second pin retaining groove 750b may be open towards the front and may communicate directly with the fourth eccentric hole 750a. The width of the second pin retaining groove 750b may correspond to the same diameter as the second retaining pin 613.
[0230] A fourth mounting groove 750c may be formed in the fourth eccentric portion 750. The fourth mounting groove 750c may be formed at the center of the outer peripheral surface of the fourth eccentric portion 750. The fourth mounting groove 750c may be formed as a recess along the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the fourth eccentric portion 750. The fourth mounting groove 750c may be formed in the form of a closed curve on the outer peripheral surface of the fourth eccentric portion 750.
[0231] The fourth eccentric portion 750 can be connected to the rear portion of the second shaft portion 710. The second shaft portion 710 can be inserted into the fourth eccentric portion 750 through the fourth eccentric hole 750a. The second shaft portion 710 is inserted into the fourth eccentric hole 750a, which is formed at a position offset from the center of the fourth eccentric portion 750, so that the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be eccentrically connected to the second shaft portion 710. The fourth eccentric portion 750 can be located between the second bearing 720 disposed in the central portion of the second shaft portion 710 and the first linkage gear 630 disposed in the rear portion of the second shaft portion 710. The fourth eccentric portion 750 can be located between the second shaft support portion 450 and the third shaft support portion 460. The fourth eccentric portion 750 can be configured such that, in the initial state, the point on the outer peripheral surface of the fourth eccentric portion 750 furthest from the center of the second shaft portion 710 (hereinafter referred to as the "rising point of the fourth eccentric portion") faces to the left. For example, in the initial state, the rising and falling point of the fourth eccentric part 750 can be located horizontally to the left of the center of the second shaft part 710 and the center of the third eccentric hole 740a in a manner that faces the 9 o'clock direction when viewed from the front, and can be opposite to the rising and falling point of the second eccentric part 650.
[0232] In the initial state, the third eccentric portion 740 and the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be positioned side-by-side in the front-rear direction. The third eccentric portion 740 and the fourth eccentric portion 750 can have the same phase relative to the second shaft portion 710. The third eccentric portion 740 and the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be located to the sides of the first eccentric portion 640 and the second eccentric portion 650. For example, the third eccentric portion 740 can be located to the right of the first eccentric portion 640. For example, the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be located to the right of the second eccentric portion 650. The first eccentric portion 640 and the third eccentric portion 740 can be positioned side-by-side in the left-right direction. The second eccentric portion 650 and the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be positioned side-by-side in the left-right direction. The first eccentric portion 640, the second eccentric portion 650, the third eccentric portion 740, and the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be arranged in a square shape at the same height. The rising and falling points of the first eccentric part 640, the second eccentric part 650, the third eccentric part 740, and the fourth eccentric part 750 can be kept horizontal and their respective heights can be the same.
[0233] A second fixing pin 613 protruding from the second shaft portion 710 can be inserted into the second pin fixing groove 750b of the fourth eccentric portion 750. The inner back surface (inner rear bottom surface) of the second pin fixing groove 750b is locked by the second fixing pin 613, thereby restricting the forward movement of the fourth eccentric portion 750 when connected to the second shaft portion 710. The two sides in the vertical width direction of the interior of the second pin fixing groove 750b are locked by the first fixing pin 611, thereby allowing the fourth eccentric portion 750 to rotate eccentrically with the second shaft portion 710 in the same direction as the rotation direction of the second shaft portion 710.
[0234] The back surface of the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be located at the front end of the corresponding second insert groove 717. For example, the back surface of the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be located at the front end of the third second insert groove 717 formed in the second shaft portion 710 from the front. The back surface of the fourth eccentric portion 750 is locked by a second locking member 760 inserted into the third second insert groove 717 from the front, thereby restricting the rearward movement of the fourth eccentric portion 750 when connected to the second shaft portion 710.
[0235] In this way, the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be eccentrically connected to the second shaft portion 710 through the second fixing pin 613 and the second locking member 760.
[0236] The fourth eccentric portion 750 includes a cylindrical fourth front large diameter portion 751, a cylindrical fourth small diameter portion 753 having a smaller diameter than the fourth front large diameter portion 751, and a cylindrical fourth rear large diameter portion 755 having the same diameter as the fourth front large diameter portion 751.
[0237] The fourth front large-diameter portion 751, the fourth small-diameter portion 753, and the fourth rear large-diameter portion 755 can be sequentially positioned along the front-rear direction. The centers of the fourth front large-diameter portion 751, the fourth small-diameter portion 753, and the fourth rear large-diameter portion 755 can be aligned with each other. The fourth small-diameter portion 753 can be located between the fourth front large-diameter portion 751 and the fourth rear large-diameter portion 755, thereby connecting the fourth front large-diameter portion 751 and the fourth rear large-diameter portion 755.
[0238] The outer peripheral surface of the fourth small diameter portion 753 may have a stepped shape that is collapsed relative to the outer peripheral surfaces of the fourth front large diameter portion 751 and the fourth rear large diameter portion 755. The fourth mounting groove 750c of the fourth eccentric portion 750 may be formed by being surrounded by the back of the fourth front large diameter portion 751, the outer peripheral surface of the fourth small diameter portion, and the front of the fourth rear large diameter portion 755.
[0239] The fourth front large-diameter portion 751 and the fourth small-diameter portion 753 can be formed separately and can be separated or joined together. The fourth small-diameter portion 753 and the fourth rear large-diameter portion 755 are formed integrally from the beginning and therefore cannot be separated.
[0240] The first eccentric portion 640, the second eccentric portion 650, the third eccentric portion 740, and the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be formed to the same size. The first eccentric portion 640 and the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be identical. The second eccentric portion 650 and the third eccentric portion 740 can be identical. In the initial state, the first eccentric portion 640, the second eccentric portion 650, the third eccentric portion 740, and the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be arranged in a square pattern of 2 rows and 2 columns at the same height. Thus, the first massage member 810, the second massage member 820, the third massage member 830, and the fourth massage member 840, which are connected to the first eccentric portion 640, the second eccentric portion 650, the third eccentric portion 740, and the fourth eccentric portion 750 respectively, can be arranged in the same pattern as the first eccentric portion 640, the second eccentric portion 650, the third eccentric portion 740, and the fourth eccentric portion 750.
[0241] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second eccentric rotating component 700 includes second adjusting portions 715 and 740b. The second adjusting portions 715 and 740b may be disposed on at least any one of the second shaft portion 710, the third eccentric portion 740, and the fourth eccentric portion 750. For example, the second adjusting portions 715 and 740b may include the previously described second adjusting pin 715 and second adjusting groove 740b.
[0242] When the drive unit 500 rotates in one direction in its initial state, causing the second shaft 710 to rotate clockwise, the second adjustment units 715 and 740b can delay the eccentric rotation of the third eccentric part 740 until the fourth eccentric part 750 has rotated eccentrically by a certain angle. That is, after the fourth eccentric part 750 has rotated eccentrically in the clockwise direction by a certain angle, the second adjustment units 715 and 740b can cause the third eccentric part 740 to rotate eccentrically in the clockwise direction. For example, the certain angle can be 180 degrees. Thus, the second adjustment units 715 and 740b can create a phase difference between the third eccentric part 740 and the fourth eccentric part 750, which have the same phase in the initial state, allowing the third eccentric part 740 and the fourth eccentric part 750 to rotate eccentrically with different phases. Regarding the third eccentric part 740 and the fourth eccentric part 750, their respective rising and falling points can alternately face upwards and rotate eccentrically.
[0243] When the drive unit 500, which operates in one direction, rotates in another direction, causing the second shaft 710 to rotate counterclockwise, the second adjustment units 715 and 740b enable the third eccentric part 740 and the fourth eccentric part 750, which rotate eccentrically with different phases, to align to the same phase or to rotate eccentrically together in a state of being aligned to the same phase.
[0244] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figures 5 to 8 The massage module 1 includes massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840. Massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 are mounted on the upper part of the base 10 in a height-adjustable manner. Massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 are mounted on the upper part of the massage plate 300 after being installed behind eccentric portions 640, 650, 740, and 750. Massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 can perform two-dimensional circular motion and rise and fall with the eccentric rotation of eccentric portions 640, 650, 740, and 750. Massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 can maintain a certain posture and rise and fall without tilting to the left or right by the posture holding unit 900. Massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 can be configured to directly apply pressure to the user's back through the height-adjusting motion during massage or heat therapy.
[0245] Multiple massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 can be provided corresponding to the eccentric portions 640, 650, 740, and 750. For example, four massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 can be provided so that they can be respectively mounted on the first eccentric portion 640, the second eccentric portion 650, the third eccentric portion 740, and the fourth eccentric portion 750.

[0248] The first insert ring 811 is inserted into the first mounting groove 640c of the first eccentric portion 640, thereby allowing the first massage component 810 to be rotatably connected to the first eccentric portion 640. When connecting the first insert ring 811 and the first eccentric portion 640, the first insert ring 811, housed within the first mounting groove 640c, can enclose the first small diameter portion 643. For example, the first small diameter portion 643 can be inserted into the hollow of the first insert ring 811. The first insert ring 811 is secured by two sides in the front-rear width direction within the first mounting groove 640c, thereby restraining it within the first mounting groove 640c. The first massage component 810 can be attached to and detached from the first eccentric portion 640 by connecting or separating the first front large diameter portion 641 and the first small diameter portion 643.
[0249] Massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 include a second massage component 820. The second massage component 820 can be mounted and connected to the second eccentric portion 650.

[0251] The second insert ring 821 is inserted into the second mounting groove 650c of the second eccentric portion 650, thereby allowing the second massage member 820 to be rotatably connected to the second eccentric portion 650. When connecting the second insert ring 821 and the second eccentric portion 650, the second insert ring 821, housed within the second mounting groove 650c, can enclose the second minor diameter portion 653. For example, the second minor diameter portion 653 can be inserted into the hollow of the second insert ring 821. The second insert ring 821 is secured by two sides in the front-rear width direction within the second mounting groove 650c, thereby restraining it within the second mounting groove 650c. The second massage member 820 can be attached to and detached from the second eccentric portion 650 through the connection or separation between the second rear major diameter portion 655 and the second minor diameter portion 653.
[0252] Massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 include a third massage component 830. The third massage component 830 can be mounted and connected to the third eccentric portion 740.

[0254] The third insert ring 831 is inserted into the third mounting groove 740c of the third eccentric portion 740, thereby allowing the third massage component 830 to be rotatably connected to the third eccentric portion 740. When connecting the third insert ring 831 and the third eccentric portion 740, the third insert ring 831 is accommodated within the third mounting groove 740c and can enclose the third small diameter portion 743. For example, the third small diameter portion 743 can be inserted into the hollow of the third insert ring 831. The third insert ring 831 is secured by two sides in the front-rear width direction within the third mounting groove 740c, thereby constraining it within the third mounting groove 740c. The third massage component 830 can be attached to and detached from the third eccentric portion 740 by connecting or separating the third front large diameter portion 741 and the third small diameter portion 743.
[0255] Massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 include a fourth massage component 840. The fourth massage component 840 can be mounted and connected to the fourth eccentric portion 750.

[0257] The fourth insert ring 840 is inserted into the fourth mounting groove 750c of the fourth eccentric portion 750, thereby allowing the fourth massage member 840 to be rotatably connected to the fourth eccentric portion 750. When connecting the fourth insert ring 840 and the fourth eccentric portion 750, the fourth insert ring 840 is accommodated within the fourth mounting groove 750c and can enclose the fourth small diameter portion 753. For example, the fourth small diameter portion 753 can be inserted into the hollow of the fourth insert ring 840. The fourth insert ring 840 is secured by two sides in the front-rear width direction within the fourth mounting groove 750c, thereby restraining it within the fourth mounting groove 750c. The fourth massage member 840 can be attached to and detached from the fourth eccentric portion 750 through the connection or separation between the third rear large diameter portion 745 and the fourth small diameter portion 753.
[0258] The first massage component 810, the second massage component 820, the third massage component 830, and the fourth massage component 840 can be identical. In their initial state, the first massage component 810, the second massage component 820, the third massage component 830, and the fourth massage component 840 can be arranged in a square configuration of 2 rows and 2 columns at the same height as the first eccentric portion 640, the second eccentric portion 650, the third eccentric portion 740, and the fourth eccentric portion 750.
[0259] The first massage component 810, the second massage component 820, the third massage component 830, and the fourth massage component 840 can rise and fall with the eccentric rotation of their respective first eccentric portion 640, second eccentric portion 650, third eccentric portion 740, and fourth eccentric portion 750. More specifically, the first massage component 810, the second massage component 820, the third massage component 830, and the fourth massage component 840 can rise and fall according to the height or position of the respective rising and falling points of the eccentrically rotating first eccentric portion 640, second eccentric portion 650, third eccentric portion 740, and fourth eccentric portion 750. For example, the first massage component 810, the second massage component 820, the third massage component 830, and the fourth massage component 840 can be in the highest position (at the top dead center) when the respective lifting points of the first eccentric portion 640, the second eccentric portion 650, the third eccentric portion 740, and the fourth eccentric portion 750 are facing the 12 o'clock direction; in the lowest position (at the bottom dead center) when facing the 6 o'clock direction; and in an intermediate position (between the top dead center and the bottom dead center) when facing the 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock direction. At this time, the first massage component 810, the second massage component 820, the third massage component 830, and the fourth massage component 840 can each maintain a horizontal posture without tilting by connecting to the posture holding unit 900 described below, rotating and lifting together with the first eccentric portion 640, the second eccentric portion 650, the third eccentric portion 740, and the fourth eccentric portion 750 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. For example, the first massage component 810, the second massage component 820, the third massage component 830, and the fourth massage component 840 can be raised and lowered while keeping their respective rollers 817, 827, 837, and 847 horizontal.
[0260] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 9The massage module 1 includes a posture holding unit 900. The posture holding unit 900 can be connected to the upper part of the mounting bracket 400. The posture holding unit 900 can be fixedly mounted in a configuration perpendicular to the first side plate 420, the second side plate 430, and the support rod 470. When the massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 are raised or lowered, the posture holding unit 900 can maintain a certain posture during the raising and lowering process. For example, the posture holding unit 900 can guide the raising and lowering movements of the massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 in a manner that prevents them from tilting left or right due to the rotation of the eccentric rotating components 600 and 700.
[0261] The attitude holding unit 900 includes a first guide member 910 and a second guide member 920 disposed parallel to and spaced apart from the first guide member 910 on its rear side. The first guide member 910 and the second guide member 920 may be substantially the same.
[0262] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 9 The first guide member 910 includes a first guide rod 911. The first guide rod 911 can be formed into a rectangular rod shape that is elongated in the left-right direction. The first guide rod 911 can be configured to be orthogonal to the first side plate 420, the second side plate 430, and the support plate 103b. The left side portion of the first guide rod 911 can be placed at the front of the upper surface of the first side plate 420 and screwed to the first side plate 420. The right side portion of the first guide rod 911 can be placed at the front of the upper surface of the second side plate 430 and screwed to the first side plate 420. The central portion of the first guide rod 911 can be supported at the front of the upper surface of the support rod 470.
[0263] The first guide rod 911 includes a first guide groove 911a.

[0310] Figure 10 (a) and (b) are top and right views showing the configuration (initial state) of the first and second eccentric rotating components and the first to fourth massage components of the massage module before the drive unit of an embodiment of the present invention is activated. Figure 11 (a) is an illustrative representation of the relationship between the two. Figure 10 The front view of the first eccentric part connected to the first shaft and the third eccentric part connected to the second shaft. Figure 11 (b) is an illustrative representation of the relationship between the two. Figure 10 The front view of the second eccentric part connected to the first shaft and the fourth eccentric part connected to the second shaft.
[0311] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 In their initial state, the first to fourth eccentric portions 640, 650, 740, and 750 can be arranged in a 2x2 square configuration at the same height. More specifically, the rising and falling points of the first eccentric portion 640 and the third eccentric portion 740 can face the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock directions respectively, and can be aligned side-by-side. The rising and falling points of the second eccentric portion 650 and the fourth eccentric portion 750 can also face the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock directions respectively, and can be aligned side-by-side. The first eccentric portion 640 and the second eccentric portion 650 can be aligned front-to-back with the same phase relative to the first axis portion 610, and the third eccentric portion 740 and the fourth eccentric portion 750 can be aligned front-to-back with the same phase relative to the second axis portion 710.
[0312] At this time, the first adjusting pin 615 can be positioned on the second locking surface 659 with the orientation towards the 3 o'clock position, and the second adjusting pin 715 can be positioned on the third locking surface 747 with the orientation towards the 9 o'clock position.
[0313] In their initial state, the first to fourth massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 can be arranged in a square pattern of 2 rows and 2 columns according to the arrangement of the first to fourth eccentric portions 640, 650, 740, and 750, and can be positioned at the same height. At this time, the first to fourth massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 can be held in a certain posture by the posture holding unit 900 without tilting, thereby allowing the first to fourth rollers 817, 827, 837, and 847 to remain horizontal at the same height.
[0314] Figure 12 (a) and (b) are shown Figure 10 Top view and right view of (a) and (b) showing the first axis rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and the second axis rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Figure 13 (a) is an illustrative representation of the relationship between the two. Figure 12 The front view of the first eccentric part connected to the first shaft and the third eccentric part connected to the second shaft. Figure 13 (b) is an illustrative representation of the relationship between the two. Figure 12 The front view of the second eccentric part connected to the first shaft and the fourth eccentric part connected to the second shaft.
[0315] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13In the initial state, by the operation of the drive unit 500 in one direction, the first shaft 610 can rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise, and at the same time, the second shaft 710 can rotate 90 degrees clockwise.
[0316] In this configuration, the first eccentric portion 640, together with the first shaft portion 610, has rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from its initial state, so that the lifting point faces the 12 o'clock position. Similarly, the fourth eccentric portion 750, together with the second shaft portion 710, has rotated 90 degrees clockwise from its initial state, so that the lifting point also faces the 12 o'clock position. Thus, the first massage component 810 and the fourth massage component 840, having maintained a certain posture by the posture holding unit 900, rise to the same height up to the top dead center.
[0317] At this time, regarding the second eccentric portion 650, the first adjusting pin 615, which is mounted on the second locking surface 659, rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise without any interference as the first shaft portion 610 rotates, thus facing the 12 o'clock direction, and therefore does not receive any rotational force transmitted from the first shaft portion 610. Therefore, the second eccentric portion 650, together with the second massage component 820, remains in the same state as in the initial state.
[0318] Furthermore, regarding the third eccentric portion 740, the second adjusting pin 715, which is mounted on the third locking surface 747, rotates 90 degrees clockwise without any interference as the second shaft portion 710 rotates, thus facing the 12 o'clock direction and receiving no rotational force transmitted from the second shaft portion 710. Therefore, the third eccentric portion 740, together with the third massage component 830, remains in the same state as in the initial state.
[0319] At this time, the phase difference between the first eccentric part 640 and the second eccentric part 650 can be 90 degrees. The phase difference between the third eccentric part 740 and the fourth eccentric part 750 can also be 90 degrees.
[0320] Figure 14 (a) and (b) are shown in Figure 12 Top view and right view of (a) and (b) showing the state where the first axis is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and the second axis is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Figure 15 (a) is an illustrative representation of the relationship between the two. Figure 14 The front view of the first eccentric part connected to the first shaft and the third eccentric part connected to the second shaft. Figure 15 (b) is an illustrative representation of the relationship between the two. Figure 14 The front view of the second eccentric part connected to the first shaft and the fourth eccentric part connected to the second shaft.
[0321] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15 In such Figure 12 and Figure 13 In the state shown, the drive unit 500 can further rotate in one direction to rotate the first shaft 610 90 degrees counterclockwise (180 degrees counterclockwise from the initial state) and the second shaft 710 90 degrees clockwise (180 degrees clockwise from the initial state).
[0322] In this configuration, the first eccentric portion 640, together with the first shaft portion 610, has rotated 180 degrees counterclockwise from its initial state, so that the lifting point faces the 9 o'clock position. Similarly, the fourth eccentric portion 750, together with the second shaft portion 710, has rotated 180 degrees clockwise from its initial state, so that the lifting point faces the 3 o'clock position. Thus, the first massage component 810 and the fourth massage component 840, held in a specific posture by the posture holding unit 900, are positioned between the upper and lower dead points, achieving the same height as in their initial state.
[0323] At this time, the second eccentric portion 650 is positioned on the first locking surface 657 with the first adjusting pin 615, which rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise without interference as the first shaft portion 610 rotates, so that it is facing the 9 o'clock position. Therefore, it does not receive any rotational force transmitted from the first shaft portion 610. Thus, the second eccentric portion 650, together with the second massage member 820, remains in the same state as in the initial state.
[0324] Furthermore, regarding the third eccentric portion 740, the second adjusting pin 715, facing the 12 o'clock position, rotates 90 degrees clockwise without interference as the second shaft portion 710 rotates, and is positioned towards the 3 o'clock position on the fourth locking surface 749, thus receiving no rotational force transmitted from the second shaft portion 710. Therefore, the third eccentric portion 740, together with the third massage component 830, remains in the same state as in its initial state.
[0325] At this time, the phase difference between the first eccentric part 640 and the second eccentric part 650 can be 180 degrees. The phase difference between the third eccentric part 740 and the fourth eccentric part 750 can also be 180 degrees.
[0326] From becoming like Figure 14 and Figure 15 After the state shown, when the first shaft 610 rotates counterclockwise, the first eccentric part 640 and the second eccentric part 650 can simultaneously rotate eccentrically while maintaining a phase difference of 180 degrees. When the second shaft 710 rotates clockwise, the third eccentric part 740 and the fourth eccentric part 750 can simultaneously rotate eccentrically while maintaining a phase difference of 180 degrees.
[0327] Therefore, the first massage member 810 and the fourth massage member 840, arranged diagonally from the left front to the right rear, can alternately rise and fall in an "X" shape with the second massage member 820 and the third massage member 830, arranged diagonally from the left rear to the right front. For example, when the first massage member 810 and the fourth massage member 840 have descended to their lower stop, the second massage member 820 and the third massage member 830 can rise to their upper stop. This state is shown in... Figure 16 and Figure 17 The following is an explanation of this.
[0328] Figure 16 (a) and (b) are shown Figure 14 Top view and right view of (a) and (b) showing the state where the first axis is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and the second axis is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. Figure 17 (a) is an illustrative representation of the relationship between the two. Figure 16 The front view of the first eccentric part connected to the first shaft and the third eccentric part connected to the second shaft. Figure 17 (b) is an illustrative representation of the relationship between the two. Figure 16 The front view of the second eccentric part connected to the first shaft and the fourth eccentric part connected to the second shaft.
[0329] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 In such Figure 14 and Figure 15 In the state shown, the drive unit 500 can further rotate in one direction to rotate the first shaft 610 90 degrees counterclockwise (270 degrees counterclockwise from the initial state) and the second shaft 710 90 degrees clockwise (270 degrees clockwise from the initial state).
[0330] In this configuration, the first eccentric portion 640, together with the first shaft portion 610, has rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise from its initial state, so that the rising and falling points of the first eccentric portion 640 are oriented towards the 6 o'clock position. Similarly, the fourth eccentric portion 750, together with the second shaft portion 710, has rotated 270 degrees clockwise from its initial state, so that the rising and falling points of the fourth eccentric portion 750 are oriented towards the 6 o'clock position. Thus, the first massage component 810 and the fourth massage component 840 are lowered to their lower stop point while maintaining a certain posture by the posture holding unit 900.
[0331] At this time, regarding the second eccentric portion 650, the first adjusting pin 615, which is placed on the first locking surface 657, pushes the first locking surface 657 to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise as the first shaft portion 610 rotates, so that the lifting point faces the 12 o'clock direction. As a result, the second massage component 820 rises to the upper stop point in a state where it has been held in a certain posture by the posture holding unit 900.
[0332] Furthermore, regarding the third eccentric portion 740, the second adjusting pin 715, which is mounted on the fourth locking surface 749, pushes the fourth locking surface 749 to rotate 90 degrees clockwise as the second shaft portion 710 rotates, thereby aligning the lifting point towards the 12 o'clock position. As a result, the third massage component 830 rises to its upper stop point while maintaining a certain posture by the posture holding unit 900.
[0333] Thus, the first massage member 810 and the fourth massage member 840, arranged diagonally from the left front to the right rear, are in a state of descending to the lower stop point, while the second massage member 820 and the third massage member 830, arranged diagonally from the left rear to the right front, are in a state of rising to the upper stop point. When the drive unit 500 continues to rotate in one direction in this state, the first massage member 810 and the fourth massage member 840, along with the second massage member 820 and the third massage member 830, can alternately pass the upper stop point and the lower stop point and rise and fall with a phase difference of 180 degrees.
[0334] If, in such Figure 16 and Figure 17 When the drive unit 500 rotates in the opposite direction as shown, the first shaft 610 can rotate clockwise and the second shaft 710 can rotate counterclockwise.
[0335] In this case, the first eccentric part 640 rotates eccentrically in the clockwise direction. The eccentric rotation of the second eccentric part 650 is delayed until the first eccentric part 640 rotates 180 degrees in the clockwise direction, so that it can rotate eccentrically in the clockwise direction with the same phase as the first eccentric part 640.
[0336] Furthermore, the fourth eccentric part 750 rotates eccentrically in the counterclockwise direction. The eccentric rotation of the third eccentric part 740 is delayed until the fourth eccentric part 750 rotates 180 degrees in the counterclockwise direction. It can then rotate eccentrically in the counterclockwise direction with the same phase as the fourth eccentric part 750.
[0337] Thus, the first to fourth massage components 810, 820, 830, and 840 can all rise and fall at the same height simultaneously. When the operation of the drive unit 500 is stopped, they can return to their initial state and align together with the first to fourth eccentric portions 640, 650, 740, and 750.
[0338] The following describes a massage module for a massage machine according to another embodiment of the present invention.
[0339] Figure 18 This is a perspective view showing a massage module 1000 (hereinafter referred to as a massage module) for a massage machine according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 19 yes Figure 18 An exploded 3D diagram.
[0340] Figure 18 The massage module 1000 shown can be mounted on a massage machine. The massage module 1000 includes massage components 1810, 1820, 1830, and 1840 for massaging the user's spine. For example, massage components 1810, 1820, 1830, and 1840 may include first to fourth massage components 1810, 1820, 1830, and 1840, which will be described later. The massage machine equipped with the massage module 1000 can be a thermotherapy device. The massage module 1000 can be built into the main body (not shown) of the massage machine, which is shaped like a bed. The user's upper body can be placed on the main body (not shown). A sub-body (not shown) on which the user's lower body rests can be connected to the main body (not shown) in a folding or sliding manner. The massage module 1000 can be configured to slide and engage with a space formed inside the main body (not shown) and move along the length of the main body (not shown). The length direction of the main body (not shown) can be the length direction of the user's spine lying on the main body (not shown). For example, it can be based on... Figure 18 The direction shown is called the front-to-back direction, referring to the length direction of the main body (not shown). The massage module 1000 can be built into the main body (not shown) and perform massage on the user's entire spine by reciprocating linearly in the front-to-back direction. For example, the massage module 1000 can massage the lumbar, thoracic, or cervical vertebrae of a user lying on the main body (not shown) while moving in the front-to-back direction. The massage module 1000 can provide physical massage to the user and can also utilize heat therapy in parallel.
[0341] Reference Figure 18The massage module 1000 includes a base 1010. The base 1010 can be connected to the interior of the massager body (not shown) in a manner that allows it to be conveyed in a back-to-back direction. The base 1010 can support massage components 1810, 1820, 1830, and 1840. The base 1010 can perform linear reciprocating motion inside the body (not shown) via a conveying unit (not shown) disposed on one side of the base 1010.
[0342] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The base 1010 includes a base plate 1100. The base plate 1100 may be the lowest structure forming the base 1010. The base plate 1100 may be configured to reciprocate linearly in the front-back direction within the interior space of the main body (not shown). For example, the base plate 1100 may be connected to the main body (not shown) in a manner that allows it to slide inside the main body (not shown).
[0343] The base plate 1100 includes a flat plate portion 1110. The flat plate portion 1110 may be a plate-shaped component used to set various structures of the massage module 1000. The flat plate portion 1110 may be a flat, square plate that is wide in the horizontal direction.
[0344] The base plate 1100 may include a fixing part 1120. The fixing part 1120 is connected to the lifting drive part 1230 of the massage plate 1300. The fixing part 1120 may be integrally formed on the front center portion of the base plate 1100. The fixing part 1120 may be formed to extend upward from the upper surface of the base plate 1100 and bend backward.
[0345] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The base 1010 includes a lifting unit 1200. The lifting unit 1200 can be disposed on the upper part of the base plate 1100. The lifting unit 1200 is connected to a massage plate 1300 disposed on the upper side, enabling the massage plate 1300 to descend toward or rise from the base plate 1100. The lifting of the massage plate 1300 based on the lifting unit 1200 will be described in more detail later.
[0346] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The lifting unit 1200 includes track sections 1201 and 1202. The track sections 1201 and 1202 can be formed to extend in the front-rear direction in order to guide the moving wheels 1243a provided on the moving body 1240. The track sections 1201 and 1202 can be connected to the left and right sides of the upper surface of the base plate 1100, respectively.
[0347] The track sections 1201 and 1202 include a left track section 1201, which is arranged to extend in the front-rear direction and is fixed to the left end of the upper surface of the base plate 1100. The left track section 1201 can be disposed between the base plate 1100 and the left fixing plate 1210 described below. A first track groove 1201a, which extends in the front-rear direction and is open at the top, can be formed on the right side of the left track section 1201.
[0348] The track sections 1201 and 1202 include a right track section 1202, which is positioned and fixed to the right end of the upper surface of the base plate 1100, arranged in a longitudinal direction. The right track section 1202 can be disposed between the base plate 1100 and the right fixing plate 1220 described below. A second track groove 1202a, which is formed in a longitudinal direction and open at the top, can be formed on the left side of the right track section 1202. The left track section 1201 and the right track section 1202 can have a symmetrical shape and arrangement.
[0349] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The lifting unit 1200 includes fixing plates 1210 and 1220. Fixing plates 1210 and 1220 can be components used to guide the lifting body 1270 described below in its vertical movement. Fixing plates 1210 and 1220 can be vertically fixed to the left and right sides of the base plate 1100, respectively. Fixing plates 1210 and 1220 can be connected to the base plate 1100 and the track portions 1201 and 1202, which are connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1100.
[0350] Fixing plates 1210 and 1220 include a left fixing plate 1210. The left fixing plate 1210 can be connected to the upper left side of the base plate 1100. The left fixing plate 1210 can be fixed in an upright position relative to the base plate 1100. For example, the left fixing plate 1210 can be vertically arranged so as to extend upward from the upper surface of the left end of the base plate 1100.
[0351] The left fixing plate 1210 includes a first plate portion 1211 in the shape of a square plate formed to form a left side wall, which is wide in the vertical direction, and a first flange portion 1212 bent from the lower end of the first plate portion 1211 toward the left. The left fixing plate 1210 can be connected to the base plate 1100 through the left track portion 1201. For example, the left fixing plate 1210 is connected to the base plate 1100, the left track portion 1201 and the first flange portion 1212 are arranged on the upper surface of the left side of the left track portion 1201 which is connected to the upper surface of the left end of the base plate 1100, thereby fixing it to the base plate 1100.
[0352] Fixing plates 1210 and 1220 include a right-side fixing plate 1220. The right-side fixing plate 1220 can be connected to the upper right side of the base plate 1100. The right-side fixing plate 1220 can be fixed in an upright position relative to the base plate 1100. For example, the right-side fixing plate 1220 can be vertically configured to extend upwards from the upper surface of the right end of the base plate 1100. The right-side fixing plate 1220 can have a shape and configuration symmetrical to the left-side fixing plate 1210.
[0353] The right-side fixing plate 1220 includes a second plate portion 1221 formed in a square plate shape to form a right-side wall, which is wide in the vertical direction, and a second flange portion 1222 bent towards the right from the lower end of the second plate portion 1221. The right-side fixing plate 1220 can be connected to the base plate 1100 via the right-side track portion 1202. For example, the right-side fixing plate 1220 is connected to the base plate 1100, the right-side track portion 1202 and the second flange portion 1222 are arranged with the second flange portion 1222 on the upper surface of the right side portion of the right track portion 1202 connected to the upper surface of the right end of the base plate 1100, thereby fixing it to the base plate 1100. The right-side fixing plate 1220 can be formed in a shape that is symmetrical to the left-side fixing plate 1210.
[0354] The fixing plates 1210 and 1220 may have lifting holes 1211a and 1221a. The lifting holes 1211a and 1221a may extend through the left and right sides. The lifting holes 1211a and 1221a may extend vertically. The lifting holes 1211a and 1221a include a first lifting hole 1211a provided on the left fixing plate 1210 and a second lifting hole 1221a provided on the right fixing plate 1220. The first lifting hole 1211a may be formed vertically in the first plate portion 1211, and the second lifting hole 1221a may be formed vertically in the second plate portion 1221. The first lifting hole 1211a and the second lifting hole 1221a may be formed in the same elongated hole shape and may be arranged opposite each other. At least one first lifting hole 1211a and one second lifting hole 1221a may be provided respectively. For example, a first lifting hole 1211a can be formed in the front and rear parts of the first plate portion 1211, that is, two first lifting holes 1211a can be formed in total, and a second lifting hole 1221a can be formed in the front and rear parts of the second plate portion 1221, that is, two second lifting holes 1221a can be formed in total.
[0355] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19The lifting unit 1200 includes a drive unit 1230. The drive unit 1230 can be provided on the upper surface of the flat plate portion 1110 of the base plate 1100 to enable the moving body 1240 to perform linear reciprocating motion. For example, the drive unit 1230 can have a protrusion 1232 protruding forward at its front end, and the protrusion 1232 and the fixing portion 1120 of the base plate 1100 are connected by a first connecting pin 1233 to be disposed on the upper surface of the flat plate portion 1110, thus allowing it to be mounted on the base plate 1100. The drive unit 1230 can be configured such that its vertical height is shorter than its horizontal and vertical lengths. That is, the drive unit 1230 can be configured to be flat when viewed as a whole. Therefore, when the massage plate 1300 descends, the gap between the drive unit 1230 and the massage plate 1300 is minimized to the maximum extent, thus allowing the massage module 1000 to be compactly constructed overall.
[0356] The drive unit 1230 includes a rod 1231 that extends from or is drawn into the housing that forms the outer shape of the drive unit 1230. For example, the drive unit 1230 may be a linear actuator including the rod 1231, which is capable of linear reciprocating motion in the front-rear direction. The rod 1231 pushes or pulls the moving body 1240 through the operation of the drive unit 1230, thereby enabling the moving body 1240 to perform linear reciprocating motion.
[0357] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The lifting unit 1200 includes a movable body 1240. The movable body 1240 can be disposed on the upper part of the base plate 1100 and between the left fixed plate 1210 and the right fixed plate 1220. The movable body 1240 can form a space with an open upper surface and front. The movable body 1240 can accommodate the drive unit 1230 in the internal space, and its rear end can be connected to the rear end of the rod 1231. The movable body 1240 can reciprocate linearly in the front-back direction via the drive unit 1230. For example, when the rod 1231 of the drive unit 1230 retracts (is pushed out of the housing of the drive unit), the movable body 1240 can be pushed by the rod 1231 and moved to the rearward side; when the rod 1231 of the drive unit 1230 advances (is pulled into the housing side of the drive unit), the movable body 1240 can be pulled by the rod 1231 and moved to the forward side.
[0358] The movable body 1240 may have wheels on both the left and right sides. For example, the wheels may include a left movable wheel (not shown) rotatably disposed on the left outer surface of the movable body 1240 and a right movable wheel 1243a disposed on the right outer surface of the movable body 1240. The left movable wheel (not shown) can roll in a state where it is placed in and supported in the first track groove 1201a of the left track portion 1201, and the right movable wheel 1243a can roll in a state where it is placed in and supported in the second track groove 1202a of the right track portion 1202. The bottom of the movable body 1240 may be positioned slightly upward from the upper surface of the base plate 1100 to avoid friction with the base plate 1100 during movement. When the moving body 1240 performs linear reciprocating motion via the rod 1231, the left moving wheel (not shown) can roll along the first track groove 1201a in the front-back direction, and the right moving wheel 1243a can roll along the second track groove 1202a in the front-back direction, thereby enabling the linear reciprocating motion of the moving body 1240 to proceed smoothly.
[0359] The movable body 1240 includes a lower plate 1241. The lower plate 1241 forms the bottom of the movable body 1240. The lower plate 1241 can be formed into a generally horizontal square plate shape. A cutout 1241a is formed in the lower plate 1241 from the front end to the rear. The cutout 1241a can be formed into a stepped shape facing the rear. The lower plate 1241 can be configured to face the flat plate portion 1110 of the base plate 1100. When the movable wheels of the movable body 1240 are supported by the track portions 1201 and 1202, the lower plate 1241 can be separated from the flat plate portion 1110 of the base plate 1100 to avoid friction with the base plate 1100.
[0360] The movable body 1240 includes a left side plate 1242. The left side plate 1242 can be integrally formed with the lower plate 1241. The left side plate 1242 can be formed to extend upward from the left end of the lower plate 1241. The left side plate 1242 can be formed perpendicular to the lower plate 1241.

The rear end of the rod 1231 may be accommodated between the rear portion of the connector 1247 and the lower plate 1241. The rear end of the rod 1231 may be connected and constrained to the rear portion of the connector 1247 and the lower plate 1241 by a second connecting pin 1248. Therefore, the linear reciprocating motion of the rod 1231 is transmitted to the moving body 1240, enabling the moving body 1240 to reciprocate linearly in the front-rear direction together.
[0367] The movable body 1240 includes a left flange 1245. The left flange 1245 can be integrally formed with the left side plate 1242.

The movable plates 1250 and 1260 are vertically fixed to the left and right ends of the movable body 1240, respectively. The movable plates 1250 and 1260 can be configured to correspond to the inner surfaces of the left and right fixed plates 1210 and 1220. The movable plates 1250 and 1260 are connected to the movable body 1240 via flanges 1245 and 1246, respectively, allowing them to reciprocate linearly in the same direction as the movable body 1240.
[0372] The movable plates 1250 and 1260 include a left movable plate 1250. The left movable plate 1250 can be formed into a vertically elongated rectangular plate in the front-rear direction. The left movable plate 1250 is inserted vertically between the first connecting pieces 1245a formed at the front and rear ends of the left flange 1245, respectively, so that it can be placed on the upper surface of the left flange 1245, and can be connected to the left flange 1245 and the first connecting pieces 1245a in this state by a separate connecting member. Therefore, the left movable plate 1250 can move together with the linear reciprocating motion of the movable body 1240.
[0373] The left movable plate 1250 can be configured to be opposite to the left fixed plate 1210. For example, the left movable plate 1250 can be configured to be adjacent to the right side of the left fixed plate 1210, and the left side of the left movable plate 1250 and the right side of the left fixed plate 1210 can be opposite to each other.

The right movable plate 1260 is inserted vertically between the second connecting pieces 1246a formed at the front and rear ends of the right flange 1246, respectively, so that it can be placed on the upper surface of the right flange 1246, and can be connected to the right flange 1246 and the second connecting piece 1246a in this state by a separate connecting member. Therefore, the right movable plate 1260 can move together with the linear reciprocating motion of the movable body 1240.
[0375] The right movable plate 1260 can be configured to face the right fixed plate 1220. For example, the right movable plate 1260 can be configured to be adjacent to the left side of the right fixed plate 1220, and the right side of the right movable plate 1260 and the left side of the right fixed plate 1220 can face each other.
[0376] The left movable plate 1250 and the right movable plate 1260 can have symmetrical shapes and configurations, and can be positioned between the left fixed plate 1210 and the right fixed plate 1220.
[0377] The movable plates 1250 and 1260 have inclined holes 1251 and 1261. The inclined holes 1251 and 1261 can extend through in the left-right direction. The inclined holes 1251 and 1261 can extend in a lengthwise direction. The inclined holes 1251 and 1261 include a first inclined hole 1251 provided in the left movable plate 1250 and a second inclined hole 1261 provided in the right movable plate 1260.
[0378] The first inclined hole 1251 can be inclinedly formed on the left movable plate 1250 in a manner that gradually increases in height from the front side to the rear side, and the second inclined hole 1261 can be inclinedly formed on the right movable plate 1260 in a manner that gradually increases in height from the front side to the rear side. Therefore, the upper and lower inner surfaces of the first inclined hole 1251 and the second inclined hole 1261 can be formed as inclined surfaces. The lower portions of the first inclined hole 1251 and the second inclined hole 1261 can each be formed as horizontal. The first inclined hole 1251 and the second inclined hole 1261 can be formed as the same elongated hole and can be configured to face each other. At least one first inclined hole 1251 and one inclined hole 1261 can be provided respectively. For example, a first inclined hole 1251 can be formed through the front and rear parts of the left movable plate 1250, that is, a total of two first inclined holes 1251 can be formed through the front and rear parts of the right movable plate 1260, that is, a total of two second inclined holes 1261 can be formed through the front and rear parts of the right movable plate 1260.
[0379] The first inclined hole 1251 can communicate with the first lifting hole 1211a, and the second inclined hole 1261 can communicate with the second lifting hole 1221a. The left guide shaft 1272a of the lifting body 1270 can be inserted into the interconnected first inclined hole 1251 and first lifting hole 1211a. The right guide shaft 1273a of the lifting body 1270 can be inserted into the interconnected second inclined hole 1261 and second lifting hole 1221a.

The lifting body 1270 can move up or down in conjunction with moving bodies 1240 and moving plates 1250 and 1260, which reciprocate linearly via rod 1231 of drive unit 1230. When moving bodies 1240 and moving plates 1250 and 1260 move rearward under the pushing force of rod 1231, the lifting body 1270 descends. When moving bodies 1240 and moving plates 1250 and 1260 move forward under the pulling force of rod 1231, the lifting body 1270 rises.
[0381] The lifting body 1270 includes a lifting plate 1271. The lifting plate 1271 can be formed into a horizontal square plate shape. The left end of the lifting plate 1271 can be mounted on the left flange of the movable body 1240, and the right end of the lifting plate 1271 can be mounted on the right flange of the movable body 1240.

The right-side guide shaft 1273a may be inserted in the order of the second inclined holes 1261 and the second lifting holes 1221a. When the moving plates 1250 and 1260 perform linear reciprocating motion, the right-side guide shaft 1273a may be guided along the second inclined holes 1261 and the second lifting holes 1221a. The right guide shaft 1273a can be formed such that its diameter is smaller than the width of the second inclined hole 1261 and the width of the second lifting hole 1221a.
[0387] A right-side cap 1273b can be installed on the right-side guide shaft 1273a. The right-side cap 1273b can be installed on the right-side guide shaft 1273a by screw engagement or insert engagement so as to be inserted into the second lifting hole 1221a and the second tilting hole 1261. The right-side cap 1273b can be inserted in the order of the second lifting hole 1221a and the second tilting hole 1261. The right-side cap 1273b includes a body formed with an outer diameter having a width suitable for the width of the second lifting hole 1221a and the second tilting hole 1261, and can be formed such that the right end of the body has a circular flange with an outer diameter larger than the width of the second tilting hole 1261. When the right-side cap 1273b is installed on the right-side guide shaft 1273a inserted into the second tilting hole 1261 and the second lifting hole 1221a, the right end of the right-side cap 1273b, which has a circular flange, can be configured to face and be adjacent to the right side of the right-side fixing plate 1220. The right cap 1273b can prevent the right guide shaft 1273a from disengaging from the second lifting hole 1221a and the second tilting hole 1261, and can perform the function of stably guiding the right guide shaft 1273a within the second lifting hole 1221a and the second tilting hole 1261.
[0388] The left cap 1272b and the right cap 1273b can be detached and installed from the left guide shaft 1272a and the right guide shaft 1273a, respectively. Therefore, in the event of maintenance, the lifting body 1270 can be easily separated from the left and right fixed plates 1210, 1220 and the left and right movable plates 1250, 1260. Furthermore, after maintenance is completed, the lifting body 1270 can be easily installed onto the left and right fixed plates 1210, 1220 and the left and right movable plates 1250, 1260.

The upper end of the elastomer 1276 can be fixed to the second elastomer coupling portion 1320 by a separate fixing member. The elastomer 1276 can support the lower part of the massage plate 1300. When no external force is applied to the massage plate 1300, the elastomer 1276 can keep the massage plate 1300 in a certain state. For example, when the external force applied to the massage plate 1300 is removed, the elastomer 1276 can keep the massage plate 1300 in a horizontal state under the action of elastic restoring force. That is, the massage plate 1300 can remain horizontal when no external force is applied. When an external force is applied, the massage plate 1300 can tilt relative to the lifting plate 1271 about the hinge axis 1274a under the action of the applied external force. If the applied external force is removed, it can return to a horizontal state. The massage plate 1300 can tilt freely to accommodate the user's spinal curvature due to its hinge connection with the lifting plate 1271 and its connection with the lifting plate 1271 through the elastic body 1276.
[0397] Figure 20 This is a right view showing the massage board of another embodiment of the present invention in a lowered state under the action of the lifting unit. Figure 21 This is a right view showing the massage board of another embodiment of the present invention in a raised state under the action of the lifting unit.
[0398] Reference Figures 18 to 21 The rising or falling process of the massage board 1300 based on the lifting unit 1200 can be observed.
[0399] like Figure 20As shown, when the massage plate 1300 is in a lowered state, and the drive unit 1230 is activated to raise the massage plate 1300, the rod 1231 of the drive unit 1230 can move forward and be pulled into the interior of the drive unit 1230's housing. If the rod 1231 moves forward, the movable body 1240 connected to the rear end of the rod 1231 can roll on the tracks 1201 and 1202 and move forward together with the rod 1231. If the movable body 1240 moves forward, the left movable plate 1250 and the right movable plate 1260 connected to the left and right sides of the movable body 1240 can move forward together with the movable body 1240. If the left movable plate 1250 and the right movable plate 1260 move forward, the left guide shaft 1272a and the left cap 1272b of the lifting body 1270 inserted into the first inclined hole 1251 can rise vertically along the inner surface of the first inclined hole 1251 and along the first lifting hole 1211a. At the same time, the right guide shaft 1273a and the right cap 1273b of the lifting body 1270 inserted into the second inclined hole 1261 can also rise vertically along the inner surface of the second inclined hole 1261 and along the second lifting hole 1221a. If the left guide shaft 1272a and the left cap 1272b, as well as the right guide shaft 1273a and the right cap 1273b, rise, the lifting body 1270 can rise vertically along the lifting holes 1211a and 1221a, and the massage plate 1300 connected to the upper part of the lifting body 1270 can also rise vertically along with the lifting body 1270. Thus, if the massage plate 1300 rises, the massage module 1000 of the massage machine can be accessed from... Figure 20 The state becomes like Figure 21 The state shown.
[0400] like Figure 21As shown, when the massage plate 1300 is in the raised state, and the drive unit 1230 is activated to lower the massage plate 1300, the rod 1231 of the drive unit 1230 can move rearward and be pushed outward from the housing of the drive unit 1230. If the rod 1231 moves rearward, the movable body 1240 connected to the rear end of the rod 1231 can roll on the tracks 1201 and 1202 and move rearward together with the rod 1231. If the movable body 1240 moves rearward, the left movable plate 1250 and the right movable plate 1260 connected to the left and right sides of the movable body 1240 can move rearward together with the movable body 1240. If the left movable plate 1250 and the right movable plate 1260 move towards the rear, the left guide shaft 1272a and the left cap 1272b of the lifting body 1270 inserted into the first inclined hole 1251 can descend vertically along the inner surface of the first inclined hole 1251 and along the first lifting hole 1211a. At the same time, the right guide shaft 1273a and the right cap 1273b of the lifting body 1270 inserted into the second inclined hole 1261 can also descend vertically along the inner surface of the second inclined hole 1261 and along the second lifting hole 1221a. If the left guide shaft 1272a and the left cap 1272b, as well as the right guide shaft 1273a and the right cap 1273b, descend, the lifting body 1270 can descend vertically along the lifting holes 1211a and 1221a, and the massage plate 1300 connected to the upper part of the lifting body 1270 can also descend vertically along with the descent of the lifting body 1270. Thus, if the massage plate 1300 descends, the massage module 1000 of the massage machine can be accessed from... Figure 21 The state becomes like Figure 20 The state shown.

The drive motor 1520 can provide rotational force for operating the massage components 1810, 1820, 1830, and 1840. Regarding the rotation of the drive motor 1520, the rotation can be input through the input shaft of the drive gear section 1510, reduced in speed, and then output to the output shaft of the drive gear section 1510. The rotation output to the output shaft of the drive gear section 1510 can be transmitted to the first eccentric rotating member 1600 and the second eccentric rotating member 1700 described below. This will be explained in more detail below.
[0427] Reference Figure 18 , Figure 19 as well as Figures 22 to 24 The massage module 1000 includes eccentric rotating components 1600 and 1700. The eccentric rotating components 1600 and 1700 are rotatably mounted on the upper part of the base 1010. The eccentric rotating components 1600 and 1700 can serve as a medium for linkage between the drive unit 1500 and the massage components 1810, 1820, 1830, and 1840. The eccentric rotating components 1600 and 1700 are provided to convert the rotational motion provided by the drive unit 1500 into lifting motion of the massage components 1810, 1820, 1830, and 1840.
[0428] Multiple eccentric rotating components 1600 and 1700 can be provided. For example, two eccentric rotating components 1600 and 1700 can be provided. The eccentric rotating components 1600 and 1700 include a first eccentric rotating component 1600 located on one side of the upper part of the base 1010 and a second eccentric rotating component 1700 located on the other side of the upper part of the base 1010.
[0429] Reference Figure 18 , Figure 19 as well as Figure 22The first eccentric rotating component 1600 can be supported on the left side of the mounting bracket 1400 and is rotatably mounted on the upper left side of the massage plate 1300. The second eccentric rotating component 1700 can be supported on the right side of the mounting bracket 1400 and is rotatably mounted on the upper right side of the massage plate 1300.

The first eccentric rotating component 1600 and the second eccentric rotating component 1700 can rotate in conjunction when the drive unit 1500 is working. In the following description, the state before the drive unit 1500 is working, or the configuration state of the first and second eccentric rotating components 1600, 1700 and the first to fourth massage components 1810, 1820, 1830, 1840 connected thereto before the drive unit 1500 is working, can be simply referred to as the initial state.
[0430] Reference Figures 22 to 24 The first eccentric rotating component 1600 includes a first shaft portion 1610. The first shaft portion 1610 can be rotatably disposed on the upper side of the base 1010. For example, the first shaft portion 1610 can be disposed on the upper left side of the massage plate 1300 via a mounting bracket 1400.
[0431] The first shaft portion 1610 rotates under the drive of the drive unit 1500. For example, the first shaft portion 1610 can rotate in one direction or another in conjunction with the rotation direction of the drive unit 1500 when the drive unit 1500 is operating. The rotation direction of the drive unit 1500 can be the rotation direction of the rotating shaft of the drive motor 1520. The first shaft portion 1610 can receive the rotational force provided by the drive unit 1500 through the rotation transmission member 1530. The first shaft portion 1610 rotates by receiving the rotational force provided by the drive unit 1500, thereby enabling it to perform the function of eccentrically rotating the first eccentric portion 1650 and the second eccentric portion 1660 described below.
[0432] Reference Figure 23 and Figure 24 The first shaft portion 1610 includes a first front shaft 1611, a first central shaft 1612, and a first rear shaft 1616. The first front shaft 1611, the first central shaft 1612, and the first rear shaft 1616 can be formed independently of each other. The first front shaft 1611, the first central shaft 1612, and the first rear shaft 1616 can be spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction. The first front shaft 1611, the first central shaft 1612, and the first rear shaft 1616 can have the same center. For example, the first front shaft 1611, the first central shaft 1612, and the first rear shaft 1616 can have the same axis.
[0433] The first front shaft 1611 may be an elongated circular shaft in the front-rear direction. The first front shaft 1611 may be rotatably disposed on the upper left side of the first shaft support portion 1420. For example, the first front shaft 1611 may be embedded in the first shaft support body 1620 and the front bearing 1630, both of which are inserted into the lower left first shaft support groove 1421 and the upper left fifth shaft support groove 1421a. Thus, the first front shaft 1611 may be rotatably supported on the left side of the first shaft support portion 1420 and the first shaft support cover 1420a covering it. In this case, the first shaft support body 1620 may be accommodated in the larger-diameter rear portion of the first shaft support groove 1421 and the fifth shaft support groove 1421a, and the front bearing 1630 may be accommodated in the smaller-diameter front portion of the first shaft support groove 1421 and the fifth shaft support groove 1421a. The first shaft support 1620 is formed in a shape that corresponds to the rear part shape of the first shaft support groove 1421 and the fifth shaft support groove 1421a, so it is impossible for it to rotate within the first shaft support groove 1421 and the fifth shaft support groove 1421a.
[0434] The first central shaft 1612 can be formed as a circular shaft that is generally elongated in the front-rear direction, with a cuboid connected to its rear end. The first central shaft 1612 can be spaced apart and disposed behind the first front shaft 1611. The first central shaft 1612 can be rotatably mounted on the second shaft support portion 1430. For example, the circular shaft portion of the first central shaft 1612 is inserted into a first cover 1615 whose lower part is inserted into the second shaft support groove 1431 and whose upper part is inserted into the sixth shaft support groove 1431a, so that the first central shaft 1612 can be rotatably supported on the second shaft support portion 1430 and the second shaft support cover 1430a covering it.
[0435] The first central shaft 1612 includes a first dividing shaft 1613. The first dividing shaft 1613 may constitute the front portion of the first central shaft 1612. The first dividing shaft 1613 may be formed in a cylindrical shape.
[0436] A first adjustment protrusion 1613a protruding rearward may be formed on the back side of the first dividing axis 1613. The first adjustment protrusion 1613a may be formed by a protrusion with a fan-shaped cross-section. The first adjustment protrusion 1613a may rotate together with the first dividing axis 1613 with the center of the first central axis 1612 as a reference. The first adjustment protrusion 1613a includes a first adjustment protrusion face 1613b and another first adjustment protrusion face 1613c that meet each other at a certain angle at the center of the first central axis 1612. The first adjustment protrusion 1613a may have the same radius as the radius of the first central axis 1612. The central angle of the first adjustment protrusion 1613a may be 135 degrees. The central angle of the first adjustment protrusion 1613a may be the angle formed by the first adjustment protrusion face 1613b and the other first adjustment protrusion face 1613c that meet at the center of the first central axis 1612.
[0437] The first central axis 1612 includes a second segmented axis 1614 having the same central axis as the first segmented axis 1613. The second segmented axis 1614 may constitute the rear portion of the first central axis 1612. The second segmented axis 1614 may have a shape in which a cuboid is connected to the rear end of a hollow cylinder.
[0438] A first linkage gear 1640 can be connected to the second dividing shaft 1614. The first linkage gear 1640 can be provided to transmit the rotational force generated by the drive unit 1500 to the second eccentric rotating component 1700 described below. A hole corresponding to the shape of the second dividing shaft 1614, with a square hole connecting to the rear end of a circular hole, can be formed in the center of the first linkage gear 1640. The hole formed in the first linkage gear 1640 can penetrate the first linkage gear 1640 in the front-rear direction. The circular hole portion formed in the hole of the first linkage gear 1640 can be inserted into the cylindrical portion formed in the second dividing shaft 1614. The square hole portion formed in the hole of the first linkage gear 1640 can be inserted into the cuboid portion formed in the second dividing shaft 1614. Thus, by inserting the second dividing shaft 1614 into the hole formed in the first linkage gear 1640, the first linkage gear 1640 can rotate together with the second dividing shaft 1614. The first linkage gear 1640 can mesh with the first transmission gear 1433. When the first linkage gear 1640 rotates with the rotation of the second dividing shaft 1614, the first transmission gear 1433 can rotate in the opposite direction to the first linkage gear 1640.
[0439] A second adjustment protrusion 1614a protruding forward can be formed on the front side of the second dividing axis 1614. The second adjustment protrusion 1614a can be formed as a protrusion with a cross-section having a portion of the fan-shaped central angular portion rounded off. The second adjustment protrusion 1614a can rotate together with the second dividing axis 1614 with the center of the first central axis 1612 as a reference. The second adjustment protrusion 1614a includes a second adjustment protrusion face 1614b and a second adjustment protrusion face 1614c forming an angle with respect to the center of the first central axis 1612. The second adjustment protrusion 1614a can have the same radius as the radius of the first central axis 1612. The central angle of the second adjustment protrusion 1614a can be 45 degrees. The central angle of the second adjustment protrusion 1614a can be the angle formed by the second adjustment protrusion face 1614b and the second adjustment protrusion face 1614c.
[0440] The first dividing shaft 1613 and the second dividing shaft 1614 can be inserted into the first cover 1615 and connected in a configuration such that the back side of the first adjusting protrusion 1613a faces the front side of the second dividing shaft 1614 and the front side of the second adjusting protrusion 1614a faces the back side of the first dividing shaft 1613. The first adjusting protrusion 1613a and the second adjusting protrusion 1614a can be located inside the first cover 1615. The first adjusting protrusion 1613a can be located on the rotation path of the second adjusting protrusion 1614a. The second adjusting protrusion 1614a can rotate freely at a certain angle with the rotation of the second dividing shaft 1614 within the first cover 1615 without interference from the first adjusting protrusion 1613a, or it can engage with the first adjusting protrusion 1613a and rotate together with it. One surface 1613b of the first adjusting protrusion and one surface 1614b of the second adjusting protrusion can be separated from or in contact with each other depending on the rotation of the second adjusting protrusion 1614a. The other surface 1613c of the first adjusting protrusion and the other surface 1614c of the second adjusting protrusion can be separated from or in contact with each other depending on the rotation of the second adjusting protrusion 1614a. The first dividing shaft 1613 can rotate together with the second dividing shaft 1614a when the second adjusting protrusion 1614a is engaged with the first adjusting protrusion 1613a. In addition, when the second adjusting protrusion 1614a is separated from the first adjusting protrusion 1613a and is not engaged, the first dividing shaft 1613 will not receive rotational force from the second dividing shaft 1614.
[0441] The first rear shaft 1616 may be a long circular shaft formed in the front-rear direction. The first rear shaft 1616 may be spaced apart and disposed behind the first central shaft 1612. The first rear shaft 1616 may be rotatably disposed on the upper left side of the fourth shaft support portion 1450. For example, the first rear shaft 1616 is embedded in the first shaft support body 1620, the lower part of the first shaft support body 1620 is inserted into the left fourth shaft support groove 1451, and the upper part of the first shaft support body 1620 is inserted into the left eighth shaft support groove 1451a, thereby being rotatably supported on the left side of the fourth shaft support portion 1450 and the fourth shaft support cover 1450a covering it. At this time, the first shaft support body 1620 may be accommodated in the front part with the larger diameter of the fourth shaft support groove 1451 and the eighth shaft support groove 1451a. The first shaft support 1620 is formed in a shape that corresponds to the shape of the fourth shaft support groove 1451 and the eighth shaft support groove 1451a, and therefore cannot rotate within the fourth shaft support groove 1451 and the eighth shaft support groove 1451a.
[0442] A first sensing blade 1603 can be connected to the first shaft portion. The first sensing blade 1603 can be respectively disposed at the front end of the first front shaft 1611 and the rear end of the first rear shaft 1616. The first sensing blade 1603 disposed on the first front shaft 1611 can rotate together with the first front shaft 1611. The first rotation sensing sensor portion 1423a disposed on the left side of the first shaft support portion 1420 senses the rotation of the first sensing blade 1603 disposed on the first front shaft 1611, and thus can sense the rotation of the first front shaft 1611. The first sensing blade 1603 disposed on the first rear shaft 1616 can rotate together with the first rear shaft 1616. The second rotation sensing sensor portion 1453a disposed on the left side of the fourth shaft support portion 1450 senses the rotation of the first sensing blade 1603 disposed on the first rear shaft 1616, and thus can sense the rotation of the first rear shaft 1616. In this way, through rotation sensing, the first eccentric rotating component 1600 and the first and second massage components 1810 and 1820 connected thereto can return to their initial state when the drive unit 1500 stops working.
[0443] Reference Figures 22 to 24 The first eccentric rotating component 1600 includes eccentric portions 1650 and 1660. Eccentric portions 1650 and 1660 can be eccentrically connected to the first shaft portion 1610. Multiple eccentric portions 1650 and 1660 eccentrically connected to the first shaft portion 1610 can be provided. For example, two eccentric portions 1650 and 1660 eccentrically connected to the first shaft portion 1610 can be provided and spaced apart in the front-rear direction.
[0444] The first eccentric rotating component 1600 includes a first eccentric portion 1650 connected to the front side of the first shaft portion 1610. The first eccentric portion 1650 can connect the first front shaft 1611 and the first dividing shaft 1613. The first eccentric portion 1650 can rotate simultaneously with the first front shaft 1611 and the first dividing shaft 1613. The first eccentric portion 1650 can perform the function of raising and lowering the first massage component 1810 described below by eccentric rotation along with the rotation of the first shaft portion 1610.
[0445] The first eccentric portion 1650 includes the first arm 1651. From Figure 23 and Figure 24 During observation, the first arm 1651 can be formed into a shape resembling an elliptical plate, elongated in the left-right direction. The first arm 1651 can be connected in a configuration where its front face is perpendicular to the rear end of the first front axis 1611. The first arm 1651 can be eccentrically connected to the first front axis 1611. The first front axis 1611 can be connected off-center to one side with respect to the center of the first arm 1651. For example, the first front axis 1611 can be... Figure 23 and Figure 24 It is positioned to the left of the first arm 1651 and connected to the front of the first arm 1651. The first arm 1651 can be integrally formed with the first front shaft 1611 and rotate together with the first front shaft 1611.
[0446] The first eccentric portion 1650 includes the second arm 1652. From Figure 23 and Figure 24 Upon observation, the second arm 1652 can be roughly shaped as a square plate with rounded vertices. The second arm 1652 can be connected with its back side perpendicular to the front end of the first dividing axis 1613. The second arm 1652 can be eccentrically connected to the first dividing axis 1613. The first dividing axis 1613 can be connected off-center from the center of the second arm 1652.

The second arm 1652 can be integrally formed with and rotate with the first dividing axis 1613. The second arm 1652 can be spaced apart and located behind the first arm 1651. The second arm 1652 can be configured to be parallel to and opposite the first arm 1651.
[0447] The first eccentric portion 1650 includes a first pin 1653. The first pin 1653 can connect the other side of the first arm 1651 to the other side of the second arm 1652. For example, from Figure 23 and Figure 24During observation, one end of the first pin 1653 can be offset to the right of the first arm 1651 with reference to the center of the first arm 1651, and connected to the first arm 1651. The other end of the first pin 1653 can be offset to the right of the second arm 1652 with reference to the center of the second arm 1652, and connected to the second arm 1652. The first pin 1653 can be directly connected to the first massage component 1810. The first pin 1653 can serve as the lifting point of the first eccentric portion 1650. For example, the height and position of the first massage component 1810 can be changed by the first pin 1653 according to the height and position of the eccentric rotation with the first eccentric portion 1650.
[0448] The first pin 1653 can be formed as a cuboid shape with a central portion elongated in the front-rear direction. The first pin 1653 can also be formed as a cylinder with a front portion extending from the front of the central portion towards the front side. The first pin 1653 can also be formed as a cylinder with a rear portion extending from the back of the central portion towards the rear side. The front portion of the first pin 1653 passes through the first arm 1651 from the rear side towards the front side, and the first locking member 1601 is embedded in the outer peripheral surface of the first pin 1653, thereby allowing the first pin 1653 to be rotatably connected to the first arm 1651. The rear portion of the first pin 1653 passes through the second arm 1652 from the front side towards the rear side, and the first locking member 1601 is embedded in the outer peripheral surface of the first pin 1653, thereby allowing the first pin 1653 to be rotatably connected to the first arm 1651. The front portion of the first pin 1653 may protrude toward the front side of the first arm 1651, and the first locking member 1601 may engage with the outer peripheral surface of such protruding portion. The portion protruding from the front portion of the first pin 1653 toward the front side of the first arm 1651 may have a fan-shaped cross-section. The rear portion of the first pin 1653 may protrude toward the rear side of the second arm 1652, and the first locking member 1601 may engage with the outer peripheral surface of such protruding portion. The central portion of the first pin 1653 may be located between the first arm 1651 and the second arm 1652.
[0449] A first gear shaft 1651a may be integrally formed on the first arm 1651. The first gear shaft 1651a may extend in a manner that protrudes from the front of the first arm 1651 toward the front side. The first gear shaft 1651a may be formed at the center of the front of the first arm 1651 and located between the first front shaft 1611 and the first pin 1653.
[0450] A first support gear 1670, a second support gear 1680, and a third support gear 1690 may be provided on the front side of the first arm 1651. The first support gear 1670, the second support gear 1680, and the third support gear 1690 provided on the front side of the first arm 1651 are provided to support the load applied to the first massage component 1810 and to keep the first pin 1653 in a certain posture when massaging the user.
[0451] The first support gear 1670 can be integrally formed with the rear end of the first shaft support 1620 and embedded in the first front shaft 1611 together with the first shaft support 1620. The first support gear 1670 can protrude from the back side of the first shaft support portion 1420 toward the rear. The first support gear 1670 can be configured such that its back side faces the front side of the first arm 1651. Since the first shaft support 1620 is fixed in the left side first shaft support groove 1421 of the first shaft support portion 1420, the first support gear 1670 can be fixedly disposed in the first shaft support portion 1420 together with the integrally formed first shaft support 1620.
[0452] The first support gear 1670 can mesh with the second support gear 1680. The second support gear 1680 can mesh with the first support gear 1670 in a rotatable manner connected to the first gear shaft 1651a. When the first eccentric portion 1650 rotates, the second support gear 1680 can rotate about the first gear shaft 1651a along the outer periphery of the first support gear 1670.
[0453] The second support gear 1680 can mesh with the third support gear 1690. The third support gear 1690 can be fixed to the front portion of the first pin 1653. The third support gear 1690 can be fixed to the first pin 1653 by engaging with a fan-shaped section of the front portion of the first pin 1653 in a matching manner. The third support gear 1690 can rotate together with the first pin 1653. When the first eccentric portion 1650 rotates, the third support gear 1690 rotates in the opposite direction to the first eccentric portion 1650 and the second support gear 1680, thereby inducing a predetermined posture of the first pin 1653.
[0454] The first eccentric rotating component 1600 includes a second eccentric portion 1660 connected to the rear side of the first shaft portion 1610. The second eccentric portion 1660 can connect the second dividing shaft 1614 and the first rear shaft 1616. The second eccentric portion 1660 can rotate simultaneously with the second dividing shaft 1614 and the first rear shaft 1616. The second eccentric portion 1660 can perform the function of raising and lowering the second massage component 1820 described below by eccentric rotation along with the rotation of the first shaft portion 1610.
[0455] The second eccentric portion 1660 includes the third arm 1661. From Figure 23 and Figure 24 Upon observation, the third arm 1661 can be roughly shaped as a square plate with rounded vertices. The third arm 1661 can be connected with its front end perpendicular to the rear end of the second dividing axis 1614. The third arm 1661 can be eccentrically connected to the second dividing axis 1614. The second dividing axis 1614 can be connected to one side with a reference to the center of the third arm 1661. For example, the second dividing axis 1614 can be... Figure 23 and Figure 24 It is positioned to the left of the third arm 1661 and connected to the front of the third arm 1661. The third arm 1661 can be integrally formed with the second dividing axis 1614 and rotate together with the second dividing axis 1614.
[0456] The second eccentric part 1660 includes the fourth arm 1662. From Figure 23 and Figure 24 During observation, the fourth arm 1662 can be formed into a shape resembling an elliptical plate, elongated in the left-right direction. The fourth arm 1662 can be connected in a manner where its back side is perpendicular to the front end of the first rear shaft 1616. The fourth arm 1662 can be eccentrically connected to the first rear shaft 1616. The first rear shaft 1616 can be connected to one side with respect to the center of the fourth arm 1662. For example, the first rear shaft 1616 can be... Figure 23 and Figure 24 It is positioned to the left of the fourth arm 1662 and connected to the back of the fourth arm 1662. The fourth arm 1662 can be integrally formed with the first rear shaft 1616 and rotate together with the first rear shaft 1616.
[0457] The second eccentric portion 1660 includes a second pin 1663. The second pin 1663 can connect the other side of the third arm 1661 to the other side of the fourth arm 1662. For example, from... Figure 23 and Figure 24 During observation, one end of the second pin 1663 can be offset to the right of the third arm 1661, with the center as a reference, and connected to the third arm 1661. The other end of the second pin 1663 can be offset to the right of the fourth arm 1662, with the center as a reference, and connected to the fourth arm 1662. The second pin 1663 can rotate relative to the third arm 1661 and the fourth arm 1662. The second pin 1663 can directly connect to the second massage component 1820. The second pin 1663 can serve as the lifting point of the second eccentric portion 1660. For example, the height and position of the second massage component 1820 can be changed by the height and position of the second pin 1663 according to the eccentric rotation of the second eccentric portion 1660.
[0458] The second pin 1663 can be formed as a cuboid shape with a central portion elongated in the front-rear direction. The second pin 1663 can also be formed as a cylinder with a front portion extending from the front of the central portion towards the front side. The second pin 1663 can also be formed as a cylinder with a rear portion extending from the back of the central portion towards the rear side. The front portion of the second pin 1663 passes through the third arm 1661 from the rear side towards the front side, and the first locking member 1601 is embedded in the outer peripheral surface of the second pin 1663, thereby allowing the second pin 1663 to be rotatably connected to the third arm 1661. The rear portion of the second pin 1663 passes through the fourth arm 1662 from the front side towards the rear side, and the first locking member 1601 is embedded in the outer peripheral surface of the second pin 1663, thereby allowing the second pin 1663 to be rotatably connected to the third arm 1661. The front portion of the second pin 1663 may protrude toward the front side of the third arm 1661, and the first locking member 1601 may engage with the outer peripheral surface of such protruding portion. The rear portion of the second pin 1663 may protrude toward the rear side of the fourth arm 1662, and the first locking member 1601 may engage with the outer peripheral surface of such protruding portion. The portion protruding from the rear portion of the second pin 1663 toward the rear side of the fourth arm 1662 may have a fan-shaped cross-section. The central portion of the second pin 1663 may be located between the third arm 1661 and the fourth arm 1662.
[0459] A second gear shaft 1662a may be integrally formed on the fourth arm 1662. The second gear shaft 1662a may extend in a manner that protrudes from the back side of the fourth arm 1662 toward the rear. The second gear shaft 1662a may be formed at the center of the back side of the fourth arm 1662 and located between the first rear shaft 1616 and the second pin 1663.
[0460] Similar to the first arm 1651, a first support gear 1670, a second support gear 1680, and a third support gear 1690 can be provided on the back of the fourth arm 1662. The first support gear 1670, the second support gear 1680, and the third support gear 1690 provided on the back of the fourth arm 1662 are provided to support the load applied to the second massage component 1820 and to hold the second pin 1663 in a certain posture during massage of the user.
[0461] The first support gear 1670 can be integrally formed with the front end of the first shaft support 1620 and embedded together with the first shaft support 1620 into the first rear shaft 1616. The first support gear 1670 can protrude from the front of the fourth shaft support portion 1450 towards the front. The first support gear 1670 can be configured such that its front face is opposite to the back of the fourth arm 1662. Since the first shaft support 1620 is fixed in the left side fourth shaft support groove 1451 of the fourth shaft support portion 1450, the first support gear 1670 can be fixedly disposed in the fourth shaft support portion 1450 together with the integrally formed first shaft support 1620.
[0462] The first support gear 1670 can mesh with the second support gear 1680. The second support gear 1680 can mesh with the first support gear 1670 in a rotatable manner connected to the second gear shaft 1662a. When the second eccentric portion 1660 rotates, the second support gear 1680 can rotate about the second gear shaft 1662a along the outer periphery of the first support gear 1670.
[0463] The second support gear 1680 can mesh with the third support gear 1690. The third support gear 1690 can be fixed to the rear portion of the second pin 1663. The third support gear 1690 can be fixed to the second pin 1663 by shaft connection with a fan-shaped section in the rear portion of the second pin 1663 in a matching manner. The third support gear 1690 can rotate together with the second pin 1663. When the second eccentric portion 1660 rotates, the third support gear 1690 rotates in the opposite direction to the second eccentric portion 1660 and the second support gear 1680, thereby inducing a predetermined posture of the second pin 1663.
[0464] The first eccentric rotating component 1600 includes first adjusting portions 1613a and 1614a. The first adjusting portions 1613a and 1614a may be disposed on at least any one of the first shaft portion 1610, the first eccentric portion 1650, and the second eccentric portion 1660. For example, the first adjusting portions 1613a and 1614a include the previously described first adjusting protrusion 1613a and second adjusting protrusion 1614a.
[0465] When the drive unit 1500 rotates in one direction in its initial state, causing the first rear shaft 1616 of the first shaft portion 1610 to rotate counterclockwise, the first adjustment portions 1613a and 1614a can delay the eccentric rotation of the first eccentric portion 1650 until the second eccentric portion 1660, which rotates eccentrically under the action of the first rear shaft 1616, has rotated eccentrically by a certain angle. That is, after the second eccentric portion 1660 has rotated eccentrically in the counterclockwise direction by a certain angle, the first adjustment portions 1613a and 1614a can cause the first eccentric portion 1650 to rotate eccentrically in the counterclockwise direction. For example, the certain angle can be 180 degrees. Thus, the first adjustment portions 1613a and 1614a can generate a phase difference between the first eccentric portion 1650 and the second eccentric portion 1660, which have the same phase in the initial state, so that the first eccentric portion 1650 and the second eccentric portion 1660 can rotate eccentrically with different phases. Regarding the first eccentric portion 1650 and the second eccentric portion 1660, their respective rising and falling points can alternately face upwards and rotate eccentrically.
[0466] When the drive unit 1500, which operates in one direction, rotates in another direction, causing the first rear shaft 1616 of the first shaft portion 1610 to rotate clockwise, the first adjustment portions 1613a and 1614a enable the first eccentric portion 1650 and the second eccentric portion 1660, which rotate eccentrically with different phases, to align to the same phase or to rotate eccentrically together in a state of being aligned to the same phase.
[0467] Reference Figures 22 to 24 The second eccentric rotating component 1700 includes a second shaft portion 1710. The second shaft portion 1710 can be rotatably disposed on the upper side of the base 1010. For example, the second shaft portion 1710 can be disposed on the upper right side of the massage plate 1300 via a mounting bracket 1400. The first shaft portion 1610 and the second shaft portion 1710 can be configured to be side by side.
[0468] The second shaft portion 1710 can rotate under the action of the drive unit 1500. For example, when the drive unit 1500 is operating, the second shaft ...
