Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a massage device, and more particularly to a sofa-type massage device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, massage devices have been widely used for therapeutic and preventive purposes not only for patients but also for the general population. Such massage devices have various functions such as not only massage but also treatment using heat, and their functions are expanding day by day.

[0003] Generally, the massage device is formed so that a user can lie down, and various devices for massaging the user's body are equipped inside the massage device.

[0004] In other words, since the massage device is provided with various devices inside, when the user's body contacts the massage device, the user may feel a foreign body sensation, and therefore, when the massage device is not used, the user usually uses furniture such as a sofa to rest.

[0005] Korean Utility Model Gazette No. 20-0212407 discloses a bed equipped with a vibration component capable of performing a massage function. In other words, a movable auxiliary bed is provided under the bed where the user rests, and a vibration component is provided on the auxiliary bed, so that the auxiliary bed is moved to the outside for massage only when the vibration component is used.

[0006] However, since such a vibration member is provided in a state of slightly protruding in the height direction above the mattress of the auxiliary bed, there is a limitation that the bed frame has to be arranged higher in order to prevent interference between the vibration member and the bed frame when the auxiliary bed moves.

[0007] Of course, for furniture such as beds for users to lie down and rest, there will not be much problem in use even if the bed frame is arranged at a high height. However, for furniture such as sofas for users to sit on, if the frame height is high, the user's feet may be suspended off the ground when sitting, which may cause inconvenience in use.

[0008] Furthermore, if a large gap space is formed between the bottom of the bed frame and the top of the auxiliary bed in the height direction, foreign matter may easily enter, thereby causing a problem of reduced durability of the vibration member.

[0009] Furthermore, such foreign matter may cause hygiene problems for the auxiliary bed, and due to such gap space, safety accidents such as the user's hand being caught may occur.

[0010] Therefore, these aspects need urgent improvement. Summary of the invention

[0011] Technical issues

[0012] The present invention is proposed to solve the above problems. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sofa-type massage device, which can allow users to sit and relax like a sofa, and can also be led out to the outside for massage when massage is needed.

[0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a sofa-type massage device in which interference between a massage module and a support portion does not occur during the process in which the introduction and extraction portion is introduced or extracted.

[0014] Another object of the present invention is to provide a sofa-type massage device that can minimize the gap space formed between the support portion and the introduction and withdrawal portion along the height direction.

[0015] The technical problems of the present invention are not limited to the technical problems described above. Through the following description, those skilled in the art can clearly understand other technical problems not mentioned.

[0016] Solutions to the problem

[0017] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a sofa-type massage device, comprising: a support portion having a first support surface for supporting a user's body; an introduction and extraction portion having a second support surface for supporting the user's body and having a massage module that moves along a length direction to massage the user's body lying on the second support surface; and a control portion for controlling the operation of the massage module, the introduction and extraction portion being arranged inside a accommodating space formed by the support portion and being capable of being introduced or extracted along a width direction so that the second support surface is selectively exposed outwardly.

[0018] At this time, the massage module includes: a conveying part, which moves along the length direction; a bracket part, one side of which is arranged with a finger pressure component for pressurizing the user's body, and the other side is fixed to the conveying part by a hinge; and a lifting part, which is used to lift or lower one side of the bracket part. The control part can control the operation of the massage module so that when the introduction and extraction part is led out so that the state in which the second supporting surface is overlapped with the first supporting surface in the height direction is changed to a state in which the second supporting surface is exposed to the outside, or when the introduction and extraction part is introduced so that the state in which the second supporting surface is exposed to the outside is changed to a state in which the second supporting surface is overlapped with the first supporting surface, the finger pressure component is arranged in the height direction at a position lower than the second supporting surface or at the same height as the second supporting surface.

[0019] At this time, the control unit can control the operation of the massage module so that only when the second support surface is exposed to the outside and is not overlapped with the first support surface in the height direction, the acupressure component applies pressure to the user's body while moving to a position higher than the second support surface in the height direction.

[0020] At this time, the sofa type massage device further includes a first driving unit, and the first driving unit causes the introduction and extraction unit to be introduced or extracted, and the control unit can control the operation of the first driving unit.

[0021] At this time, the first driving part may include: a first guide member arranged along the width direction; and a first driving member providing a driving force so that the introduction and extraction part moves along the first guide member.

[0022] At this time, the sofa type massage device further includes a second driving unit, and the second driving unit adjusts the height of the second supporting surface in a state where the second supporting surface is exposed to the outside, and the control unit can control the operation of the second driving unit.

[0023] At this time, the second driving part may include: a second guide component for lifting or lowering the second supporting surface along a height direction; and a second driving component for providing a driving force to lift or lower the second supporting surface.

[0024] At this time, the first driving part may further include a first detecting component, and the first detecting component is used to detect whether the introduction and extraction part is introduced or extracted.

[0025] At this time, when a complete withdrawal signal of the introduction and withdrawal portion is sent from the first detection component, the control unit may switch the massage module to an operable state after a first waiting time has passed.

[0026] At this time, when sending the introduction signal of the introduction and extraction part, the control part can control the operation of the first driving part to start the introduction operation of the introduction and extraction part after determining that the finger pressure component is arranged at a position lower than the second supporting surface or at the same height as the second supporting surface in the height direction.

[0027] At this time, the second driving unit may further include a second detecting component, and the second detecting component is used to detect the height of the second supporting surface.

[0028] At this time, when a complete withdrawal signal of the introduction and withdrawal part is sent from the first detection component, the control unit can control the operation of the second driving unit to lift the second supporting surface after a first waiting time. When a complete lifting signal of the second supporting surface is sent from the second detection component, the control unit can switch the massage module to an operable state after a second waiting time.

[0029] At this time, when the introduction signal of the introduction and extraction part is sent, the control part can control the operation of the first driving part to start the introduction operation of the introduction and extraction part after determining that the finger pressure part is arranged at a position lower than the second supporting surface or at the same height as the second supporting surface along the height direction and determining that the complete lowering signal of the second supporting surface is sent from the second detection part.

[0030] At this time, the control unit can control the operation of the massage module so that only when the second support surface is exposed to the outside and is not overlapped with the first support surface in the height direction, and when the height of the second support surface is raised, the acupressure component applies pressure to the user's body while moving along the height direction to a position higher than the first support surface.

[0031] Effects of the Invention

[0032] According to the above-mentioned construction, in the sofa-type massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the introduction and extraction part arranged inside the accommodating space formed by the support part is led out or introduced in the width direction, so that the second support surface is selectively exposed to the outside, so that the user can sit and rest, and only lead the introduction and extraction part to the outside for massage when massage is needed, thereby improving user convenience and space utilization.

[0033] In addition, in the sofa-type massage device according to the embodiment of the present invention, the control unit controls the operation of the massage module so that when the lead-in and lead-out part is led out or introduced, the acupressure component is arranged in the height direction at a position lower than the second supporting surface or at a position at the same height as the above-mentioned second supporting surface, so that the lead-in and lead-out part will not interfere with each other between the massage module and the supporting part during the process of leading out or introducing, thereby ensuring the stability of the lead-out operation or introduction operation of the lead-in and lead-out part.

[0034] In addition, in the sofa-type massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit controls the operation of the massage module so that only when the second supporting surface is exposed to the outside, the acupressure component applies pressure to the user's body while moving to a position higher than the second supporting surface in the height direction. Therefore, the gap space formed between the supporting part and the introduction and extraction part in the height direction is minimized, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering, improving durability, and preventing safety accidents caused by the user's hand being caught.

[0035] The effects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned effects, and should be understood to include all effects that can be inferred from the configuration of the invention described in the detailed description of the present invention or the claims.

[0045] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that a person skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention. The present invention can be implemented in a variety of different embodiments and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted in the accompanying drawings, and the same reference numerals are given to the same or similar structural elements throughout the specification.

[0046] The terms or words used in this specification and the scope of protection of the invention should not be interpreted in a limited manner according to the conventional or dictionary meaning, but should be interpreted in a meaning and concept that is consistent with the technical idea of ​​the present invention based on the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of the term in order to explain his own invention in the best way.

[0047] Figure 1 1 is a perspective view of a sofa type massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a view showing a state in which the introduction and extraction portion is introduced into the support portion. Figure 2 1 is a perspective view of a sofa-type massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a view showing a state in which the introduction and withdrawal portion is drawn out from the support portion. Figure 3 1 is a perspective view of a sofa-type massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a diagram showing the arrangement state of the massage module in a state where the lead-in and lead-out portion is introduced into the support portion. Here, the X direction refers to the length direction, the Y direction refers to the width direction, and the Z direction refers to the height direction. In order to clearly explain the present invention, parts not related to the explanation are omitted in the drawings.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the sofa type massage device according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a support portion 100 having a first support surface 110 for supporting a user's body.

[0049] The first support surface 110 of the support portion 100 may have a height for a user to sit down and rest along the height direction Z, and the support portion 100 may have a separate auxiliary support portion 100'. For example, when the support portion 100 is arranged to extend along the length direction X, the auxiliary support portion 100' may be configured to extend along the width direction Y.

[0050] The auxiliary support part 100' may also have an auxiliary support surface 110' for supporting the user's body. When the auxiliary support part 100' is connected as above, the user can not only sit down to rest, but also lie down to rest.

[0051] In addition, the auxiliary support surface 110 ′ may be configured to be open, and items may be stored inside the auxiliary support portion 100 ′.

[0052] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, the massage device includes an introduction and extraction part 200 equipped with a massage module 10, so that the user can lie down and receive massage. The introduction and extraction part 200 has a second support surface 210, and the second support surface 210 supports the user's body so that the user can lie down. The second support surface 210 can be a cushion to support the user's body.

[0053] In other words, the user can sit on the first support surface 110 of the support part 100 to relax, and then, if a massage is needed, can lie on the second support surface 210 of the introduction and extraction part 200 to receive a massage. When the user lies on the second support surface 210, the massage module 10 moves along the length direction X to perform a massage.

[0054] A control unit 300 is provided for controlling the operation of the massage module 10 .

[0055] At this time, if Figure 3 As shown, the introduction and extraction portion 200 is disposed inside the accommodation space a formed in the support portion 100 and is configured to be able to be introduced or extracted along the width direction Y so that the second support surface 210 is selectively exposed to the outside.

[0056] That is, when the lead-in and lead-out portion 200 arranged inside the accommodating space a formed in the support portion 100 is led out or introduced in the width direction Y, the second support surface 210 is selectively exposed to the outside, so that the user can sit down and relax, but only when massage is needed, massage is performed by pulling the lead-in and lead-out portion 200 to the outside, thereby improving user convenience and space efficiency.

[0057] Figure 4 yes Figure 3 An enlarged perspective view of the massage module. Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of part Ⅰ-Ⅰ.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, the massage module 10 includes: a conveying part 11, which moves along the length direction X; a bracket part 12, one side of which is provided with a finger pressure component 12a for pressurizing the user's body, and the other side is fixed to the conveying part 11 by a hinge; and a lifting part 13, which is used to lift or lower one side of the bracket part 12.

[0059] The conveying unit 11 may include a plate-shaped substrate and base ribs disposed at both ends of the substrate in the width direction Y. The base ribs may be provided with support rollers, and the support rollers may be arranged to be movable along a guide rail arranged in the length direction X. The conveying unit 11 may have a conveying motor, and the conveying motor provides a driving force to move the support rollers along the guide rail.

[0060] In addition, the finger pressure component 12a can be arranged on one side of the bracket part 12, and the other side of the bracket part 12 can be fixed to the conveying part 11 by a hinge. That is, when one side of the bracket part 12 rises by the operation of the lifting part 13, the finger pressure component 12a rises together. At this time, since the other side of the bracket part 12 is in a hinged fixed state, one side of the bracket part 12 rises along the arc line to provide a combination of the effect of applying pressure in the height direction Z and the effect of pushing in the length direction X, thereby improving the massage effect. These finger pressure components 12a can be arranged on both sides of the bracket part 12 in the width direction Y, respectively.

[0061] At this time, if Figure 5 As shown, when the introduction and extraction part 200 is introduced or extracted, the control part 300 can control the operation of the massage module 10 so that the acupressure component 12a is arranged at a position lower than the second support surface 210 or at the same height as the second support surface 210 in the height direction Z.

[0062] Generally speaking, the spinal shape of each user varies from person to person. In order to perform massage according to different spinal shapes, the control unit 300 controls the massage module 10 to move along the length direction X through the operation of the conveying unit 11, and at the same time controls the rise of one side of the bracket unit 12 through the operation of the lifting unit 13, so that the acupressure component 12a massages the user's body while applying pressure while moving to a position higher than the second support surface 210.

[0063] However, since this method will massage the user's body, it is important to ensure that no interference occurs between the massage module 10 and the support part 100 when the lead-out part 200 is led out or introduced. To this end, when the lead-out part 200 is led out or introduced, the control part 300 is configured to control the operation of the massage module 10 so that the acupressure part 12a is arranged in the height direction Z at a position lower than the second support surface 210 or at the same height as the second support surface 210.

[0064] At this time, the leading-out or introduction of the lead-out part 200 refers to the following two situations: when the second support surface 210 is overlapped with the first support surface 110 in the height direction Z, the lead-out part is completely led out, so that the second support surface 210 is completely exposed to the outside (completely led out); or when the second support surface 210 is completely exposed (completely led out) to the outside, the lead-out part 200 is introduced, so that the second support surface 210 and the first support surface 110 are in an overlapping arrangement state.

[0065] Through the above configuration, even if the height of the support part 100 is lowered, the massage module 10 can be prevented from interfering with the support part 100, so that the user can sit comfortably on the support part 100 to rest. At the same time, the stability of the lead-out operation or the introduction operation of the lead-out part 200 can be ensured.

[0066] In addition, when the user stands up during the massage without completing the massage process, the control unit 300 can control the operation of the massage module 10 to be suspended. As described above, when the operation of the massage module 10 is suspended, the acupressure component 12a stops at an arbitrary height (the position before the user stands up) in the height direction Z. This is to restart the continuous massage from the suspended position when the user lies down again to receive the massage.

[0067] However, if the acupressure component 12a is paused in a state where it is arranged at a position higher than the second support surface 210, and the user controls the introduction and withdrawal part 200 to be introduced without confirming the position of the acupressure component 12a in advance (including the case where the user directly applies external force to introduce the introduction and withdrawal part 200 or uses a separate button, etc. to introduce the introduction and withdrawal part 200), the control unit 300 controls the operation of the massage module 10 so that the acupressure component 12a moves in the height direction Z to a position lower than the second support surface 210 or to a position at the same height as the second support surface 210, thereby preventing damage to the massage module 10 and achieving a smooth introduction operation of the introduction and withdrawal part 200.

[0068] Figure 6 yes Figure 2 The sectional view of the II-II portion shows a state in which one side of the support portion of the massage module is lifted.

[0069] like Figure 6 As shown, the control unit 300 can control the operation of the massage module 10 only when the second support surface 210 is exposed to the outside, so that the finger pressure component 12a applies pressure to the user's body while moving to a position higher than the second support surface 210 in the height direction Z. At this time, the case where the introduction and extraction unit 200 is exposed to the outside refers to the case where the introduction and extraction unit 200 is completely introduced, which means that the second support surface 210 is not arranged to overlap with the first support surface 110 in the height direction Z. In addition, this can also refer to the case where the cushion formed with the second support surface 210 is completely introduced in the height direction Z so as not to overlap with the support unit 100.

[0070] As described above, the control unit 300 raises one side of the bracket unit 12 by controlling the operation of the lifting unit 13 only when the second support surface 210 is exposed to the outside, so that the acupressure component 12a performs massage by applying pressure to the user's body while moving to a position higher than the second support surface 210 in the height direction Z.

[0071] That is, by configuring the finger pressure part 12a to move to a position higher than the second support surface 210 in the height direction Z only when performing massage, even if the lower surface 120 of the support part 100 is arranged adjacent to the first support surface 110 of the introduction and withdrawal part 200, no mutual interference occurs during the introduction and withdrawal of the introduction and withdrawal part 200, and the gap space formed therebetween can be minimized. When configured in this way, durability is improved by preventing the inflow of foreign matter, and safety accidents caused by the user's hand being caught in the above-mentioned gap space can be prevented.

[0072] Figure 7 yes Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the III-III portion.

[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, the massage device further includes a first driving part 400 for causing the introduction and extraction part 200 to be introduced or extracted, and the control part 300 can control the operation of the first driving part 400 .

[0074] That is, by providing the first driving part 400, the control part 300 is configured to control the operation of the first driving part 400, so that the user can draw out or draw in the introduction and withdrawal part 200 in a simple manner by pressing a single button.

[0075] At this time, the first driving part 400 may include a first guide member 410 arranged in the width direction Y and a first driving member 420 providing a driving force to move the introduction and extraction part 200 along the first guide member 410 .

[0076] The first guide member 410 may be attached to the lower surface 120 of the support portion 100 , and the first driving portion 400 may include a separate connection frame 411 connecting the first guide member 410 and the lead-in / out portion 200 .

[0077] That is, the first driving member 420 provides a driving force to move the connection frame 411 along the first guide member 410 in the width direction Y. Such a first driving member 420 may be a linear actuator that provides a driving force to move the connection frame 411 along the first guide member 410 .

[0078] In order to prevent the cushion disposed on the second supporting surface 210 from being damaged during the process of leading out or introducing the lead-out portion 200, a separate lead-in and lead-out frame 220 surrounding the circumference of the cushion may be provided.

[0079] However, the first driving component 420 is not limited to the linear actuator, and any structure can be adopted as long as it can provide a driving force to move the lead-in / out portion 200 along the width direction Y.

[0080] For example, the first guide member 410 may be replaced with a link structure such as a scissor link, and the first driving member 420 may be replaced with an actuator capable of operating the scissor link.

[0081] As another example, the first guide member 410 can be replaced with a rack gear, and the first drive member 420 can be replaced with a drive motor equipped with a pinion that can move along the rack gear. In this case, the rack gear can be fixed to the support portion 100, and the drive motor can be fixed to the introduction and extraction portion 200.

[0082] Figure 8 is a perspective view of a sofa-type massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing a state in which the height of the second support surface of the lead-in / lead-out portion is raised, Fig. 9 yes Figure 8Cross-sectional view of the VI-VI portion.

[0083] like Figure 8 As shown, the second support surface 210 may be configured to be able to rise so that the height of the second support surface 210 corresponds to the height of the first support surface 110 when the lead-in / out portion 200 is led out of the support portion 100 .

[0084] For this reason, Fig. 9 As shown, a second driving unit 500 may be further included, and the second driving unit 500 is used to adjust the height of the second supporting surface 210 when the second supporting surface 210 is exposed to the outside, and the control unit 300 can control the operation of the second driving unit 500.

[0085] That is, by providing the second driving part 500 and the control part 300 being configured to control the operation of the second driving part 500 , the user can simply raise the height of the second supporting surface 210 .

[0086] In addition, the control unit 300 may also be configured to control the operation of the first driving unit 400 and the second driving unit 500, so that the user can raise the height of the second support surface 100 after the introduction and extraction unit 200 is introduced by simply pressing a single button.

[0087] On the contrary, the control unit 300 may be configured to control the operation of the first driving unit 400 and the second driving unit 500 so that the user can lower the height of the second supporting surface 100 and then introduce the introduction and extraction unit 200 by simply pressing a single button.

[0088] At this time, the second driving part 500 may include a second guide member 510 that raises or lowers the second support surface 210 in the height direction Z and a second driving member 520 that provides a driving force to raise or lower the second support surface 210 .

[0089] To this end, the second driving part 500 raises the height of the cushion, at which time, the height of the lead-in and lead-out frame 220 remains fixed, and only the height of the cushion is raised. The second guide member 510 may be a scissor-type link having one end attached to the lower surface 120 of the lead-in and lead-out frame 220 and the other end attached to the lower surface of the cushion. The second driving part 520 may be an actuator for raising the height of the other end of the second guide member 510.

[0090] For example, one end of the second guide member 510 may be a fixed end 511 fixed to the bottom of the introduction and extraction frame 220, and the other end of the second guide member 510 may be a movable end 512 slidably movable along the bottom of the mat. In order to make the movable end 512 slide and move smoothly, a movable roller 512a may be provided.

[0091] As another example, one end of the second guide member 510 may be a fixed end 511 fixed to the bottom of the cushion, and the other end of the second guide member 510 may be a movable end 512 slidably movable along the bottom of the lead-in / out frame 220 .

[0092] The second driving unit 500 is not limited to the above structure, and any structure may be used as long as it is a structure capable of adjusting the height of the second supporting surface 210. As another example, the second driving unit 500 may be a linear actuator capable of adjusting the height of the cushion.

[0093] like Figure 7 As shown, the first driving unit 400 may further include a first detecting component 430 for detecting whether the introduction and extraction unit 200 is introduced or extracted.

[0094] The first detection component 430 may be a simple switch that is pressed when the introduction and withdrawal portion 200 is completely introduced or withdrawn, or may be a sensor that can detect the position of the introduction and withdrawal portion 200 .

[0095] That is, through the first detection component 430, the control unit 300 can confirm whether the introduction and extraction part 200 is completely introduced or extracted, and control the operation of the massage module 10 based on this, thereby preventing the massage module 10 from being damaged during the process of the introduction and extraction part 200 being introduced or extracted.

[0096] At this time, when the first detection component 430 sends a complete withdrawal signal of the introduction and withdrawal part 200, the control part 300 can switch the massage module 10 to an operable state after a first waiting time has passed.

[0097] That is, the massage module 10 is controlled to start operating after the introduction and withdrawal part 200 is completely drawn out and the first waiting time has passed. In this way, the massage module 10 can be prevented from being damaged during the introduction and withdrawal process of the introduction and withdrawal part 200.

[0098] For example, when the user takes a position on the second support surface 210 and lies flat without any additional movement, and a predetermined preparation time has passed, the control unit 300 causes the massage module 10 to start operating according to the mode selected by the user. This is to confirm whether the user is ready to receive massage. Whether the user moves can be detected by a separate detection component such as a load sensor equipped in the massage module 10.

[0099] At this time, the preparation time can be configured to start counting after the massage module 10 is switched to an operable state. That is, even if the user lies down when the lead-in / out portion 200 is not completely drawn out, the preparation time will not be counted. Only when the lead-in / out portion 200 is completely drawn out and the first waiting time has passed, the preparation time will start counting. By configuring as above, the massage module 10 can be prevented from being damaged during the drawing-out process and the stable operation of the massage module 10 can be ensured.

[0100] In addition, when an introduction signal of the introduction and extraction part 200 is sent, the control part 300 can control the operation of the first driving part 400 after confirming that the finger pressure component 12a is arranged at a position lower than the second supporting surface 210 or at the same height as the second supporting surface 210 in the height direction Z, so that the introduction operation of the introduction and extraction part 200 can be started.

[0101] As described above, when the user stands up while receiving a massage but has not yet completed the massage process, the control unit 300 can control the operation of the massage module 10 to be paused. When the operation of the massage module 10 is paused, the acupressure component 12a stops at any height in the height direction Z (the position before the user stands up), so that the user can continue to receive the massage while lying down.

[0102] However, if the acupressure component 12a is paused in a state where it is arranged at a position higher than the second supporting surface 210, and the user uses a separate button to input an introduction signal to introduce the introduction and extraction part 200 without confirming the position of the acupressure component 12a in advance, the control unit 300 confirms that the acupressure component 12a is arranged at a position lower than the second supporting surface 210 or at a position at the same height as the second supporting surface 210 in the height direction Z, and then controls the operation of the first driving unit 400 so that the introduction operation of the introduction and extraction part 200 can be started.

[0103] That is, if the acupressure component 12a is arranged at a position lower than the second support surface 210 or at the same height as the second support surface 210 in the height direction Z, the control unit 300 controls the operation of the first driving unit 400 so that the introduction and extraction unit 200 is immediately introduced, and during the introduction of the introduction and extraction unit 200, it is also possible to move the massage module 10 together to the initial position along the length direction X. At this time, it is important to ensure that the height of the acupressure component 12a remains constant while moving the massage module 10.

[0104] like Fig. 9 As shown, the second driving unit 500 may further include a second detecting component 530 for detecting the height of the second supporting surface 210 .

[0105] The second detection member 530 may simply be a switch that can be pressed when the second support surface 210 is fully raised or lowered, or may be a switch that can detect the position of the second support surface 210. The second detection member 530 may also be configured to detect the height of the mat.

[0106] That is, through the second detection component 530, the control unit 300 can confirm whether the second support surface 210 is completely raised or lowered, and control the operation of the massage module 10 based on this, thereby preventing the massage module 10 from being damaged during the process of leading out or introducing the lead-out part 200.

[0107] At this time, when a complete lead-out signal of the lead-out part 200 is sent from the first detection component 430, the control unit 300 controls the operation of the second driving unit 500 after a first waiting time, so that the second support surface 210 rises. After a complete rise signal of the second support surface 210 is sent from the second detection component 530, the massage module 10 can be switched to an operable state after a second waiting time.

[0108] That is, after the lead-in / out part 200 is completely led out, the second support surface 210 is raised after a first waiting time, thereby preventing the second support surface 210 from rising when the lead-in / out part 200 is not completely led out, causing damage to the massage module 10 or the second driving part 500.

[0109] For example, when the user takes a position on the second support surface 210 and lies flat without any additional movement, and a predetermined preparation time has passed, the control unit 300 causes the massage module 10 to start operating according to the mode selected by the user. This is to confirm whether the user is ready to receive massage, and whether the user moves can be detected by a separate detection component such as a load sensor provided in the massage module 10.

[0110] At this time, the preparation time can be configured to start counting after the massage module 10 is switched to an operable state. That is, even if the user lies down when the second support surface 210 is not fully raised, the preparation time will not be counted. Only when the second support surface 210 is fully raised and the second waiting time has passed, the preparation time will start counting. By configuring as above, the stable operation of the massage module 10 can be ensured.

[0111] The first waiting time and the second waiting time may be set to be the same, but the first waiting time may be set to be relatively shorter than the second waiting time so that the second supporting surface 210 rises almost continuously after the introduction and extraction part 200 is extracted.

[0112] At this time, when the introduction signal of the introduction and extraction part 200 is sent, the control part 300 can control the operation of the first driving part 400 after confirming that the finger pressure part 12a is arranged at a position lower than the second supporting surface 210 or at the same height as the second supporting surface 210 in the height direction Z and confirming that the second supporting surface 210 is completely lowered signal sent from the second detection part 530, so that the introduction operation of the introduction and extraction part 200 can be started.

[0113] As described above, when the user stands up while receiving a massage but has not yet completed the massage process, the control unit 300 can control the operation of the massage module 10 to be paused. As described above, when the operation of the massage module 10 is paused, the acupressure component 12a stops at an arbitrary height in the height direction Z (the position before the user stands up), so that the user can continue to receive the massage while lying down.

[0114] However, when the acupressure component 12a is paused in a state where it is arranged at a position lower than the second supporting surface 210, and the user inputs an introduction signal by using a separate button to introduce the introduction and extraction part 200 without confirming the position of the acupressure component 12a in advance, the control part 300 not only confirms that the acupressure component 12a is arranged at a position lower than the second supporting surface 210 or at the same height as the second supporting surface 210 in the height direction Z, but also confirms whether the second supporting surface 210 is completely lowered, and then controls the operation of the first driving part 400, so that the introduction operation of the introduction and extraction part 200 can be started.

[0115] In other words, if the acupressure component 12a is arranged at a position lower than the second support surface 210 or at the same height as the second support surface 210 in the height direction Z, the control unit 300 only controls the operation of the second driving unit 500 to lower the second support surface 210, but if the acupressure component 12a is arranged at a position higher than the second support surface 210, the control unit 300 not only controls the operation of the second driving unit 500 to lower the second support surface 210, but also controls the massage module 10 to lower the acupressure component 12a to a position lower than the second support surface 210 or at the same height as the second support surface 210. At this time, the control unit 300 can also move the massage module 10 to the initial position along the length direction X when the acupressure component 12a is lowered to a position lower than the second support surface 210 or at the same height as the second support surface 210.

[0116] On the other hand, the control unit 300 can control the operation of the massage module 10 so that the acupressure component 12a applies pressure to the user's body while moving along the height direction Z only when the second support surface 210 is exposed to the outside and is not overlapped with the first support surface 110 in the height direction Z and the height of the second support surface 210 rises.

[0117] That is, after the second support surface 210 is drawn out, massage is performed in a state where the height of the second support surface 210 is raised, and the raised height of the second support surface 210 can be configured to be raised to the same height as the first support surface 110, or only raised to a position lower than the first support surface 110. With this configuration, not only the field of view of the user lying on the second support surface 210 for massage can be ensured, but also the field of view of other users lying on the first support surface 110 for rest can be ensured.

[0118] As described above, when the second support surface 210 is drawn out and its height is raised, the massage module 10 starts to operate for massage, and at this time, the acupressure component 12a can be configured to apply pressure to the user's body while moving to a position higher than the first support surface 110. For example, some users want to massage only a certain part of the body such as an arm or a leg when lying on the first support surface 110 to rest. In this case, the user can lie on the first support surface 110 and massage the part of the body to be massaged while placing it on the second support surface 210. Therefore, if the reference position of the height at which the acupressure component 12a moves is set to the first support surface 110, a more effective massage effect can be achieved.

[0119] As described above, in the sofa-type massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the lead-in / out portion 200 is arranged inside the accommodating space a formed in the support portion 100, and is configured to be able to be led out or introduced along the width direction Y to be selectively exposed to the outside, so that the second support surface 210 is selectively exposed to the outside, so that the user can sit down and relax, but only when a massage is needed, the massage is performed by pulling the lead-in / out portion 200 to the outside, thereby improving user convenience and space efficiency.

[0120] In addition, when the lead-out part 200 is led out or introduced, the control part 300 is configured to control the operation of the massage module 10 so that the acupressure component 12a is arranged at a position lower than the second support surface 210 or at the same height as the second support surface 210 along the height direction Z, so that even if the height of the support part 100 is lowered, the massage module 10 will not interfere with the support part 100, and the user can sit comfortably on the support part 100 to rest, while ensuring the stability of the lead-out operation or the introduction operation of the lead-out part 200.

[0121] Furthermore, by configuring the finger pressure part 12a to move to a position higher than the second support surface 210 in the height direction Z only when performing massage, even if the lower surface 120 of the support part 100 is arranged adjacent to the first support surface 110 of the introduction and extraction part 200, no mutual interference occurs during the introduction and extraction process of the introduction and extraction part 200, and the gap space formed therebetween can be minimized. When configured in this way, durability is improved by preventing the inflow of foreign matter, and safety accidents caused by the user's hand being caught in the above-mentioned gap space can be prevented.

[0122] As described above, one embodiment of the present invention is described, but the subject matter of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment presented in this specification. A person skilled in the art can easily propose other embodiments within the scope of the same subject matter by adding, modifying, deleting, increasing, etc. the constituent elements, and these belong to the scope of the subject matter of the present invention.
