Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to massage devices, and more specifically, to a massage device having a folding pad. Background Technology

[0002] In the prior art, spinal thermal massage devices are widely used. They move along the body and apply heat stimulation to the painful area to improve blood flow, thereby relieving acute or chronic pain in the spinal muscles and nerve tissue caused by prolonged improper posture or habitual posture, or improving blood circulation in the body, or relieving momentary muscle stiffness.

[0003] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1942267 (granted on January 21, 2019) discloses a conventional massage device. This massage device includes a heated pad supporting the user's body and a spinal therapy module that applies pressure to the user's body. When using the massage device, the user lies on the upper surface of the heated pad to receive a massage.

[0004] However, the heating pad in this massage device is sized to allow the user to lie down and receive a massage, which means that the space occupied by the heating pad cannot be used for other purposes.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technology that can solve the above problems.

[0006] (Patent Document 1) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1942267 (Granted on January 21, 2019) Summary of the Invention The technical problem that the invention aims to solve The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems and its purpose is to provide a massage device with a foldable cushion, which can not only allow users to receive massage while lying down, but also minimize the space occupied by the massage device when not performing a massage, and can also be used for other purposes even when not performing a massage.

[0007] The technical problems of this invention are not limited to those described above. Other technical problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art based on the following description.

[0008] means for solving problems According to one embodiment of the present invention, a massage device having a foldable mat is provided, comprising: a massage module for applying pressure to a user's body; and a mat, wherein the massage module is inserted into the mat, the mat having a support surface for supporting the user's body; the mat can switch its usage state from a first state in which the support surface is configured to be parallel to the ground to a second state in which the support surface is partially folded.

[0013] At this time, the first pad component may have overlapping sections, and in the first state, the guide surface and the sliding surface are arranged to overlap in the width direction.

[0014] At this time, the first unit receiving space may have a support pad above it to support the user's body, and the second unit receiving space may have an opening above it so that the massage module is exposed to the user.

[0015] At this time, the support surface may include: a first unit support surface, configured to be parallel to the ground in the second state; a second unit support surface, configured to be inclined upward at a first angle relative to the ground in the second state; and a third unit support surface, configured to be inclined upward at a second angle relative to the ground in the second state.

[0016] At this time, when switching from the first state to the second state, the first unit support surface can be configured to move to one side in the length direction, while pushing the second unit support surface upward, so that the second unit support surface forms the first tilt angle, and the second unit support surface can be configured to push the third unit support surface upward, so that the third unit support surface forms the second tilt angle.

[0017] At this time, the massage module may have a guide surface extending along the length direction on at least one of its outer surfaces in the width direction, and the pad may have a receiving space for inserting the massage module, and the receiving space may have a sliding surface that contacts the guide surface.

[0018] At this time, the mat may include a first mat component having the first unit support surface, a second mat component having the second unit support surface, and a third mat component having the third unit support surface. The first mat component may have a first unit receiving space, and the massage module is inserted and disposed in the first unit receiving space, and the first unit receiving space has the sliding surface. The second mat component may have a second unit receiving space, and the massage module is inserted and disposed in the second unit receiving space. The third mat component may have a third unit receiving space, and the massage module is inserted and disposed in the third unit receiving space.

[0019] At this time, the first pad component may have overlapping sections, and in the first state, the guide surface and the sliding surface are arranged to overlap in the width direction.

[0020] At this time, the first unit receiving space may have a support pad above it to support the user's body, and the second unit receiving space and the third unit receiving space may each have an opening above them so that the massage module is exposed to the user.

[0021] At this point, a base plate supporting the lower surface of the pad may also be included.

[0022] At this time, the lower part of the mat may have guide rollers to provide a path for the mat to move in the length direction when switching from the first state to the second state.

[0023] At this time, the massage module may have a guide rail arranged along the length direction, and the mat may have guide rollers to move along the guide rail when switching from the first state to the second state, thereby providing a movement path of the mat in the length direction.

[0024] At this time, the lower part of the mat may have guide rollers to provide a path for the mat to move in the length direction when switching from the first state to the second state.

[0025] At this time, the massage module may have a guide rail arranged along the length direction, and the mat may have guide rollers to move along the guide rail when switching from the first state to the second state, thereby providing a movement path of the mat in the length direction.

[0026] At this time, the massage module may have a guide rail arranged along the length direction, and the mat may have guide rollers to move along the guide rail when switching from the first state to the second state, thereby providing a movement path of the mat in the length direction.

[0027] At this time, the base plate may have a guide rail arranged to extend along the length direction, and the mat may have guide rollers to move along the guide rail when switching from the first state to the second state, thereby providing a movement path for the mat in the length direction.

[0028] At this time, when switching from the first state to the second state, during the process of pulling the second unit support surface in the height direction to make the second unit support surface form the first tilt angle, the first unit support surface can be pulled and moved to one side in the length direction.

[0029] At this time, when switching from the first state to the second state, during the process of pulling up the second unit support surface or the third unit support surface in the height direction so that the second unit support surface forms the first tilt angle and the third unit support surface forms the second tilt angle, the first unit support surface can be pulled to move to one side in the length direction.

[0054] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can readily implement the invention. The present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. For clarity of illustration, parts unrelated to the description have been omitted from the drawings, and the same reference numerals are used throughout the specification for the same or similar constituent elements.

[0055] The words and terms used in this specification and claims should not be limited to their usual or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted as meanings and concepts consistent with the technical ideas of this invention, in accordance with the principle that inventors may define terms and concepts in order to best illustrate their invention.

[0056] Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configuration shown in the accompanying drawings are preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all the technical ideas of the present invention. Therefore, various equivalents and modifications that can replace this configuration may exist at the time of application of the present invention.

[0057] In this specification, terms such as “comprising” or “having” are intended to describe the presence of features, figures, steps, actions, constituent elements, components or combinations thereof described in the specification, and should be understood as not precluding the presence or additional possibility of one or more other features, figures, steps, actions, constituent elements, components or combinations thereof.

[0058] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of a massage device with a folding mat according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat in a first state. Figure 2 This is a perspective view of a massage device with a folding mat according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat configured in a second state. The X direction is the length direction (the same direction as the user's spine), the Y direction is the width direction, divided into one side and the other side with the user's spine as the center, and the Z direction is the height direction, representing the direction in which the pressure-applying components rise or fall to adjust the pressure on the user's body. For clarity of the invention, parts unrelated to the description are omitted in the drawings.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a massage device with a foldable mat according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a massage module 100 that applies pressure to the user's body, and a mat 200 into which the massage module 100 is inserted and which has a support surface F that supports the user's body. The mat 200 can switch its usage state from a first state S1 in which the support surface F is configured to be parallel to the ground G to a second state S2 in which the support surface F is partially folded.

[0060] The massage module 100 may include a pressurizing section having a pressurizing component for applying pressure to the user; a driving section having a drive motor component for providing driving force to adjust the position of the pressurizing component in the height direction; a transfer section having a transfer motor component for providing driving force to move the main body section along the length direction; and a control section for controlling the actions of each section.

[0061] The massage module 100 has a pressure component that can move along the user's spine in the length direction X to massage the spine. The pressure component can be heated or cooled by the current supplied by the control unit, so as to provide a massage effect with appropriate temperature according to the massage position.

[0062] At this time, the pressurizing component can not only use high temperature heat, but also use far-infrared rays to provide users with heat therapy and massage effects.

[0063] The pressurizing component can be roller-type, but is not limited to this. As long as the pressurizing component can rotate during the movement of the pressurizing component along the length direction X, it can adopt various shapes and structures.

[0064] In addition, when the pressure component is made of materials such as ceramic, it can generate far-infrared rays during the use of the massage module, thereby improving the massage effect. However, it is not limited to this material. Other materials can also be used as long as they can transfer heat to the user's body and provide a massage effect.

[0065] Furthermore, the transfer unit may include a transfer motor component for moving the pressurizing component along the user's length direction X. Additionally, the transfer unit may include a transfer member for reciprocating the pressurizing component in the length direction X.

[0066] The transfer motor component may have a transfer shaft component that rotates when current is supplied, the transfer component being connected to the transfer shaft component and transmitting its rotational force as the transfer shaft component rotates to move the pressurizing component.

[0067] The transfer component is connected to the pressurizing component and, depending on the forward or reverse rotation of the transfer motor component, is used to move the pressurizing component to one side or the other side along the user's length direction X.

[0068] The transfer component can selectively employ a transfer belt, transfer chain, or transfer rope, but is not limited to these. It can also employ various methods of transferring objects using the driving force of the transfer motor component, such as using a lead screw or rack and pinion.

[0069] Furthermore, the drive unit may include a drive motor component for providing driving force to adjust the position of the pressurizing component in the height direction Z. The control unit adjusts the position of the pressurizing component in the height direction Z by controlling the operation of the drive motor component, thereby adjusting the pressure applied to the user by the pressurizing component.

[0070] The massage module 100 is inserted into the mat 200, which has a support surface F for supporting the user's body so that the user can lie down and receive a massage. At this time, the mat 200 can switch from a first state S1 in which the support surface F is configured to be parallel to the ground G to a second state S2 in which the support surface F is partially folded.

[0071] For example, a user can lie on the support surface F and receive a massage when the cushion 200 is configured in the first state S1. Furthermore, a user can sit on the support surface F of the cushion 200 and rest when the cushion 200 is configured in the second state S2. In this case, since the cushion 200 is configured in a partially folded state with the support surface F in the second state S2, the space occupied by the massage device is reduced, allowing for more diverse use of indoor space and improving space utilization.

[0072] That is, the mat 200 can switch the usage state from a first state S1 where the user can lie down and receive a massage to a second state S2 where the massage device can be used for other purposes when not receiving a massage, thus improving convenience and user satisfaction.

[0073] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of a massage device with a folding mat according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat in a first configuration. Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of a massage device with a folding mat according to an embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat configured in a second state.

[0074] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the support surface F may include a first unit support surface F1 configured to be parallel to the ground G in the second state S2, and a second unit support surface F2 configured to be inclined upward relative to the ground G at a first tilt angle θ1 in the second state S2.

[0075] That is, when the user is not using the massage module 100, the cushion 200 can be configured to the second state S2, and the user can sit on the first unit support surface F1, which is configured to be parallel to the ground G, to rest in a seated position. Furthermore, since the second unit support surface F2 is configured to be tilted upwards at a first angle θ1 relative to the ground G, the user can comfortably lean their upper body against the second unit support surface F2 to rest. At this time, the first angle θ1 of the second unit support surface F2 can be set to an angle that allows the user to comfortably lean their upper body against the second unit support surface F2 to rest.

[0076] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when switching from the first state S1 to the second state S2, the first unit support surface F1 can be configured to move to the length direction X side and push the second unit support surface F2 upward, so that the second unit support surface F2 forms a first tilt angle θ1.

[0077] That is, when the user uses the massage module 100, the mat 200 is configured to the first state S1 for use, and after the massage module 100 is finished being used, the mat 200 is configured to the second state S2.

[0078] At this time, when the user switches the use state of the mat 200 from the first state S1 to the second state S2, the first unit support surface F1 moves to the length direction X side, and at the same time pushes the second unit support surface F2 upward, so that the second unit support surface F2 forms the first tilt angle θ1.

[0079] This configuration allows for easy switching of the mat 200's usage status. Furthermore, as the first unit support surface F1 moves towards the X-direction, the space occupied by the massage device decreases, thus enabling more diverse use of indoor space and improving space utilization.

[0080] Furthermore, since the second unit support surface F2 is configured to be tilted upward at a first angle θ1 relative to the ground G, the user can rest with their upper body comfortably leaning against the second unit support surface F2.

[0081] At this time, when the user switches the use state of the mat 200 from the first state S1 to the second state S2, the first unit support surface F1 can be moved to the length direction X side as described above, while the second unit support surface F2 is pushed upward. However, it is not limited to this. It can also be configured such that, in the process of pulling up the second unit support surface F2 along the height direction Z so that the second unit support surface F2 forms a first tilt angle θ1, the first unit support surface F1 is pulled and moved to the length direction X side.

[0082] Figure 5 and Figure 6 for Figure 4Sectional view of part I-I, Figure 5 A diagram showing the configuration status of the massage module. Figure 6 This diagram shows the massage module in its removed state.

[0083] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the massage module 100 has a guide surface 110 extending along the length direction on at least one of its outer surfaces in the width direction Y, and the pad 200 has a receiving space AS for the massage module 100 to be inserted into, and the receiving space AS has a sliding surface 201 that is configured to contact the guide surface 110.

[0084] At this time, the massage module 100 is configured to face the user while positioned within the mat 200, thereby massaging the user's body. Furthermore, since the massage module 100 is inserted into the receiving space AS of the mat 200, interference between the massage module 100 and the mat 200 is prevented.

[0085] Furthermore, the massage module 100 has a guide surface 110 extending along the length direction on at least one of its outer surfaces in the width direction Y, and the receiving space AS of the pad 200 has a sliding surface 201 configured to contact the guide surface 110. Thus, when the usage state is switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2, or from the second state S2 to the first state S1, the sliding surface 201 moves along the guide surface 110, so that the usage state of the pad 200 can be switched stably.

[0086] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the cushion 200 includes a first cushion component 210 having a first unit support surface F1 and a second cushion component 220 having a second unit support surface F2. The first cushion component 210 has a first unit receiving space AS1, and the massage module 100 is inserted and disposed in the first unit receiving space AS1. The first unit receiving space AS1 has a sliding surface 201. The second cushion component 220 has a second unit receiving space AS2, and the massage module 100 is inserted and disposed in the second unit receiving space AS2.

[0087] That is, when the mat 200 is configured in the first state S1, the first mat body component 210 having the first unit support surface F1 and the second mat body component 220 having the second unit support surface F2 are both configured to be parallel to the ground G, and the user lies on the first unit support surface F1 and the second unit support surface F2 to receive a massage.

[0088] At this time, the massage module 100 is inserted into the first unit receiving space AS1 of the first pad component 210 and the second unit receiving space AS2 of the second pad component 220. The first unit receiving space AS1 has a sliding surface 201. When the use state of the pad 200 is switched, the sliding surface 201 contacts the guide surface 110 of the massage module 100, so that the sliding movement of the first pad component 210 can be carried out stably.

[0089] like Figure 3 As shown, the first pad component 210 may have an overlapping section OR. In the first state S1, the guide surface 110 and the sliding surface 201 are arranged to overlap along the width direction Y.

[0090] That is, in order for the use state of the mat 200 to be stably switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2, in the first state S1, the sliding surface 201 disposed in the first unit receiving space AS1 also needs to be in contact with the guide surface 110 of the massage module 100. Therefore, as described above, since the first pad component 210 has an overlapping section OR, in the first state S1, the guide surface 110 and the sliding surface 201 can be overlapped along the width direction Y, thereby enabling the use state of the mat 200 to be stably switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2.

[0091] like Figure 3 As shown, the first unit accommodating space AS1 may have a close contact surface 202, which is in close contact with the other end of the massage module 100 in the length direction X in the second state S2.

[0092] With this configuration, when the pad 200 is positioned in the second state S2, the length of the pad 200 in the length direction X can be minimized, thereby reducing the space occupied by the massage device and improving space utilization.

[0093] like Figure 3 As shown, a support pad 203 for supporting the user's body can be provided above the first unit receiving space AS1, and an opening 204 can be provided above the second unit receiving space AS2 so that the massage module 100 is exposed towards the user.

[0094] That is, the support pad 203 located above the first unit receiving space AS1 is used to comfortably support the user's body, and the opening 204 located above the second unit receiving space AS2 allows the massage module 100 to be exposed to the user, thereby enabling effective massage.

[0095] The opening 204 may have a separate cover 204a. With the cover 204a set in this way, when the pad 200 is configured in the second state S2, it can prevent foreign objects from entering the interior of the receiving space AS through the opening 204.

[0096] like Figure 3 As shown, the first pad component 210 may have a first pressure surface 211 for pushing the second pad component 220 when the use state is switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2.

[0097] As described above, when the user switches the use state of the mat 200 from the first state S1 to the second state S2, the first unit support surface F1 moves to the length direction X side, and at the same time pushes the second unit support surface F2 upward, so that the second unit support surface F2 forms a first tilt angle θ1. When the first mat component 210 has a first pressure surface 211, the second mat component 220 can be pushed more easily, thereby improving user convenience.

[0098] Figure 7 This is a perspective view of a massage device with a folding mat according to another embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat configured in a first state. Figure 8 This is a perspective view of a massage device with a folding mat according to another embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat configured in a second state.

[0099] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the support surface F may include a first unit support surface F1 configured to be parallel to the ground G in the second state S2, a second unit support surface F2 configured to be inclined upward relative to the ground G at a first tilt angle θ1 in the second state S2, and a third unit support surface F3 configured to be inclined upward relative to the ground G at a second tilt angle θ2 in the second state S2.

[0100] That is, when the user is not using the massage module 100, the mat 200 can be configured in the second state S2, and the user can sit and rest on the first unit support surface F1, which is configured to be parallel to the ground G. Furthermore, since the second unit support surface F2 is configured to be tilted upwards at a first angle θ1 relative to the ground G, the user can comfortably lean their upper body against the second unit support surface F2 to rest. Additionally, the third unit support surface F3 is configured to be tilted upwards at a second angle θ2 relative to the ground G, and supports the second unit support surface F2, so that the first angle θ1 of the second unit support surface F2 can be stably maintained. Therefore, even if the user's upper body load acts on the second unit support surface F2, the second state S2 of the mat 200 can be stably maintained. At this time, the first angle θ1 of the second unit support surface F2 can be formed to allow the user to comfortably lean their upper body against the second unit support surface F2 to rest, and the second angle θ2 of the third unit support surface F3 can be formed to support the user load acting on the second unit support surface F2.

[0101] Figure 9This is a cross-sectional view of a massage device with a folding mat according to another embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat configured in a first state. Figure 10 This is a cross-sectional view of a massage device with a folding mat according to another embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat configured in a second state.

[0102] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, when switching from the first state S1 to the second state S2, the first unit support surface F1 can be configured to move to the length direction X side and simultaneously push the second unit support surface F2 upward so that the second unit support surface F2 forms a first tilt angle θ1. The second unit support surface F2 can be configured to push the third unit support surface F3 upward so that the third unit support surface F3 forms a second tilt angle θ2.

[0103] That is, when the user uses the massage module 100, the mat 200 is configured to the first state S1 for use, and after the massage module 100 is finished being used, the mat 200 is configured to the second state S2.

[0104] At this time, when the user switches the use state of the mat 200 from the first state S1 to the second state S2, the first unit support surface F1 moves to the X-direction along the length, while simultaneously pushing the second unit support surface F2 upward, so that the second unit support surface F2 forms a first tilt angle θ1. In addition, during the process of the second unit support surface F2 being pushed upward by the first unit support surface F1, it also pushes the third unit support surface F3 upward.

[0105] This configuration allows for easy switching of the mat 200's usage status. Furthermore, as the first unit support surface F1 moves towards the X-direction, the space occupied by the massage device decreases, thus enabling more diverse use of indoor space and improving space utilization.

[0106] Furthermore, since the second unit support surface F2 is inclined upward at a first tilt angle θ1 relative to the ground G, the user can comfortably lean his upper body against the second unit support surface F2 to rest. Moreover, since the third unit support surface F3 is inclined upward at a second tilt angle θ2 relative to the ground G and supports the second unit support surface F2, the second state S2 of the mat 200 can be stably maintained even if the user's upper body load is applied to the second unit support surface F2.

[0107] At this time, when the user switches the use state of the mat 200 from the first state S1 to the second state S2, the first unit support surface F1 can be moved towards the length direction X as described above, while simultaneously pushing the second unit support surface F2 and the third unit support surface F3 upwards. However, it is not limited to this. It can also be configured such that, while pulling up the second unit support surface F2 along the height direction Z to form a first tilt angle θ1, the third unit support surface F3 forms a second tilt angle θ2, while the first unit support surface F1 is pulled and moved towards the length direction X; or configured as follows: The first unit support surface F1 is pulled to move towards the length direction X while the second unit support surface F2 forms a first tilt angle θ1 during the process of pulling up the third unit support surface F3 along the height direction Z to form a second tilt angle θ2; or the first unit support surface F1 is pulled to move towards the length direction X while the second unit support surface F2 and the third unit support surface F3 are pulled up along the height direction Z to form a first tilt angle θ1 and the third unit support surface F3 forms a second tilt angle θ2.

[0108] Figure 11 and Figure 12 for Figure 10 A sectional view of section II-II, wherein, Figure 11 This diagram shows the massage module in its configuration state. Figure 12 The diagram shows the massage module in its removed state.

[0109] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the massage module 100 has a guide surface 110 extending along the length direction on at least one of its outer surfaces in the width direction Y, and the pad 200 has a receiving space AS for the massage module 100 to be inserted into, and the receiving space AS has a sliding surface 201 that is configured to contact the guide surface 110.

[0110] At this time, the massage module 100 is configured to face the user when disposed on the mat 200, thereby massaging the user's body. Furthermore, since the massage module 100 is inserted into the receiving space AS disposed on the mat 200, interference between the massage module 100 and the mat 200 can be prevented.

[0111] Furthermore, the massage module 100 has a guide surface 110 extending along the length direction on at least one of its outer surfaces in the width direction Y, and the receiving space AS of the pad 200 has a sliding surface 201 configured to contact the guide surface 110. Thus, when the usage state is switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2, or from the second state S2 to the first state S1, the sliding surface 201 moves along the guide surface 110, so that the usage state of the pad 200 can be switched stably.

[0112] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the cushion 200 includes a first cushion component 210 having a first unit support surface F1, a second cushion component 220 having a second unit support surface F2, and a third cushion component 230 having a third unit support surface F3. The first cushion component 210 has a first unit receiving space AS1, in which the massage module 100 is inserted and disposed, and the first unit receiving space AS1 has a sliding surface 201. The second cushion component 220 has a second unit receiving space AS2, in which the massage module 100 is inserted and disposed. The third cushion component 230 has a third unit receiving space AS3, in which the massage module 100 is inserted and disposed.

[0113] That is, when the mat 200 is configured in the first state S1, the first mat body component 210 with the first unit support surface F1, the second mat body component 220 with the second unit support surface F2, and the third mat body component 230 with the third unit support surface F3 are all configured to be parallel to the ground G, and the user lies on the first unit support surface F1, the second unit support surface F2, and the third unit support surface F3 to receive a massage.

[0114] At this time, the massage module 100 is inserted into the first unit receiving space AS1 of the first pad component 210, the second unit receiving space AS2 of the second pad component 220, and the third unit receiving space AS3 of the third pad component 230. The first unit receiving space AS1 has a sliding surface 201. When the use state of the pad 200 is switched, the sliding surface 201 contacts the guide surface 110 of the massage module 100, thereby enabling the first pad component 210 to slide stably.

[0115] like Figure 9 As shown, the first pad component 210 may have an overlapping section OR. In the first state S1, the guide surface 110 and the sliding surface 201 are arranged to overlap along the width direction Y.

[0116] That is, in order for the use state of the mat 200 to be stably switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2, in the first state S1, the sliding surface 201 disposed in the first unit receiving space AS1 also needs to be in contact with the guide surface 110 of the massage module 100. Therefore, as described above, since the first pad component 210 has an overlapping section OR, in the first state S1, the guide surface 110 and the sliding surface 201 can be overlapped along the width direction Y, thereby enabling the use state of the mat 200 to be stably switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2.

[0117] like Figure 9 As shown, the first unit receiving space AS1 may have a close contact surface 202, which is in close contact with the other end of the massage module 100 in the length direction X in the second state S2.

[0118] With this configuration, when the pad 200 is positioned in the second state S2, the length of the pad 200 in the length direction X can be minimized, thereby reducing the space occupied by the massage device and improving space utilization.

[0119] like Figure 9 As shown, the first unit receiving space AS1 may have a support pad 203 above it to support the user's body, and the second unit receiving space AS2 and the third unit receiving space AS3 may each have an opening 204 above them so that the massage module 100 is exposed to the user.

[0120] That is, the support pad 203 provided above the first unit receiving space AS1 is used to comfortably support the user's body, and the openings 204 provided above the second unit receiving space AS2 and the third unit receiving space AS3 allow the massage module 100 to be exposed to the user, thereby enabling effective massage.

[0121] The opening 204 may have a separate cover 204a. With the cover 204a set in this way, when the pad 200 is configured in the second state S2, it can prevent foreign objects from entering the interior of the receiving space AS through the opening 204.

[0122] like Figure 9 As shown, the first pad component 210 may have a first pressure surface 211 for pushing the second pad component 220 when the use state is switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2, and the second pad component 220 may have a second pressure surface 221 for pushing the third pad component 230 when the use state is switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2.

[0123] As described above, when the user switches the use state of the mat 200 from the first state S1 to the second state S2, the first unit support surface F1 moves to the length direction X side, while the second unit support surface F2 is pushed upward so that the second unit support surface F2 forms a first tilt angle θ1, and the third unit support surface F3 is pushed upward so that the third unit support surface F3 forms a second tilt angle θ2. When the first mat component 210 has a first pressure surface 211 and the second mat component 220 has a second pressure surface 221, the second mat component 220 and the third mat component 230 can be pushed more easily, thereby improving user convenience.

[0124] Figure 13 This is a perspective view of a massage device with a folding mat according to another embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat in a first configuration. Figure 14 This is a perspective view of a massage device with a foldable mat according to another embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat in a second state.

[0125] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, it may also include a base plate 300 supporting the lower surface of the pad 200. The base plate 300 can not only support the lower surface of the pad 200, but also serve to support the lower surface of the massage module 100. With the base plate 300 configured in this way, the massage module 100 and the pad 200 can be configured into a modular structure, thereby improving the durability and portability of the massage device.

[0126] Figure 15 This is a cross-sectional view of a massage device with a folding mat according to another embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat in a first configuration. Figure 16 This is a cross-sectional view of a massage device with a folding mat according to another embodiment of the present invention, showing the mat configured in a second state. Figure 17 and Figure 18 for Figure 16 A sectional view of section III-III, wherein, Figure 17 The diagram shows the massage module in its configuration state. Figure 18 The diagram shows the massage module in its removed state.

[0127] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the mat 200 may include a first mat component 210 configured parallel to the ground G in the second state S2, and a second mat component 220 and a third mat component 230 configured in a folded state. That is, when the mat 200 is configured in the first state S1, the first mat component 210, the second mat component 220, and the third mat component 230 are all configured parallel to the ground G, and the user lies on the first mat component 210, the second mat component 220, and the third mat component 230 to receive a massage.

[0128] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the second pad component 220 may have a sliding shaft 205, which is used to rotate the second pad component 220 upward in one direction R1 when the use state is switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2. The massage module 100 may have a sliding guide rail 120, which is used to provide the sliding guide rail 120 for the movement path of the sliding shaft 205, so that the second pad component 220 slides and moves to the side of the length direction X while rotating upward in one direction R1.

[0129] Thus, when the second pad component 220 has a sliding shaft 205 and the massage module 100 is provided with a sliding guide rail 120, the second pad component 220 can rotate stably when the first pad component 210 slides, so that the use state of the pad 200 can be switched smoothly.

[0130] Figure 19 This is a perspective view of a massage device with a folding mat according to another embodiment of the present invention, showing the state in which the usage state is switched from a first state to a second state.

[0131] like Figure 19 As shown, the third pad component 230 may have a hinge shaft 206 for rotating the third pad component 230 upward in another direction R2 when the use state is switched from the first state S1 to the second state S2. The upper surface of the base plate 300 may have a hinge plate 310, and the hinge shaft 206 is rotatably fixed to the hinge plate 310.

[0132] Thus, the third pad component 230 has a hinge shaft 206, and the upper surface of the base plate 300 has a hinge plate 310 for rotatably fixing the hinge shaft 206. As the first pad component 210 slides, the third pad component 230 can rotate stably during the rotation of the second pad component 220, thereby enabling the pad 200 to smoothly switch between its usage states.

[0133] Furthermore, even when the user's upper body load acts on the second cushion component 220 in the second state S2, the hinge shaft 206 will restrict the movement of the third cushion component 230 in the length direction X, thereby enabling the third cushion component 230 to stably support the second cushion component 220.

[0134] like Figure 19 As shown, the first cushion component 210 may have a support leg 212, which contacts and supports the ground G in the first state S1. With the support leg 212 configured in this way, even if the user's lower body load is applied to the first cushion component 210 in the first state S1, the load can be stably supported.

[0135] Figure 20 and Figure 21 This is a cross-sectional view of a first modified example of a massage device with a folding mat according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein... Figure 20 The diagram shows the state of the mat configured in the first position. Figure 21 A diagram showing the state of the mat configured in the second state.

[0136] like Figure 20 and Figure 21As shown, the lower part of the mat 200 may have guide rollers GR, which provide a path for the mat 200 to move in the length direction X when switching from the first state S1 to the second state S2. With the guide rollers GR configured in this way, the movement of the mat 200 in the length direction X can be carried out stably, thereby making the switching of the mat 200's usage state smoother and improving user convenience.

[0137] At this time, the guide surface 110 of the massage module 100 and the sliding surface 201 of the mat 200 can be configured to be arranged opposite each other in a state of not contacting each other. Even with such a configuration, the use state of the mat 200 can be smoothly switched by means of the guide roller GR.

[0138] Figure 22 This is a cross-sectional view of a second variation of a massage device with a folding pad according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0139] like Figure 22 As shown, the massage module 100 may have a guide rail GL extending along the length direction X, and the mat 200 may have guide rollers GR. The guide rollers GR move along the guide rail GL to provide a movement path for the mat 200 in the length direction X when switching from the first state S1 to the second state S2. Thus, with the massage module 100 having the guide rail GL extending along the length direction X, the movement of the guide rollers GR on the mat 200 along the guide rail GL ensures stable movement of the mat 200 in the length direction X, thereby making the switching of the mat 200's usage state smoother and improving user convenience.

[0140] In this case, the massage module 100 can also be configured to have guide rollers GR, while the mat 200 has guide rails GL.

[0141] At this time, the guide surface 110 of the massage module 100 and the sliding surface 201 of the mat 200 can be configured to be arranged opposite each other in a state of not contacting each other. Even with such a configuration, the use state of the mat 200 can be smoothly switched by means of the guide rail GL and the guide roller GR.

[0142] Figure 23 and Figure 24 This is a cross-sectional view of a first modified example of a massage device with a folding cushion according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein... Figure 23 The diagram shows the state of the mat configured in the first position. Figure 24 A diagram showing the state of the mat configured in the second state.

[0143] like Figure 23 and Figure 24As shown, the lower part of the mat 200 may have guide rollers GR, which provide a path for the mat 200 to move in the length direction X when switching from the first state S1 to the second state S2. With the guide rollers GR configured in this way, the movement of the mat 200 in the length direction X can be carried out stably, thereby making the switching of the mat 200's usage state smoother and improving user convenience.

[0144] At this time, the guide surface 110 of the massage module 100 and the sliding surface 201 of the mat 200 can be configured to be arranged opposite each other in a state of not contacting each other. Even with such a configuration, the use state of the mat 200 can be smoothly switched by means of the guide roller GR.

[0145] Figure 25 This is a cross-sectional view of a second variation of a massage device with a folding pad according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0146] like Figure 25 As shown, the massage module 100 may have a guide rail GL extending along the length direction X, and the mat 200 may have guide rollers GR. The guide rollers GR move along the guide rail GL to provide a movement path for the mat 200 in the length direction X when switching from the first state S1 to the second state S2. Thus, with the massage module 100 having the guide rail GL extending along the length direction X, the movement of the guide rollers GR of the mat 200 along the guide rail GL ensures stable movement of the mat 200 in the length direction X, thereby making the switching of the mat 200's usage state smoother and improving user convenience.

[0147] In this case, the massage module 100 can also be configured to have guide rollers GR, while the mat 200 has guide rails GL.

[0148] At this time, the guide surface 110 of the massage module 100 and the sliding surface 201 of the mat 200 can be configured to be arranged opposite each other in a state of not contacting each other. Even with such a configuration, the use state of the mat 200 can be smoothly switched by means of the guide rail GL and the guide roller GR.

[0149] Figure 26 This is a cross-sectional view of a first modified example of a massage device with a folding pad according to yet another embodiment of the present invention.

[0150] like Figure 26As shown, the massage module 100 may have a guide rail GL extending along the length direction X, and the mat 200 may have guide rollers GR. The guide rollers GR move along the guide rail GL to provide a movement path for the mat 200 in the length direction X when switching from the first state S1 to the second state S2. Thus, with the massage module 100 having the guide rail GL extending along the length direction X, the movement of the guide rollers GR of the mat 200 along the guide rail GL ensures stable movement of the mat 200 in the length direction X, thereby making the switching of the mat 200's usage state smoother and improving user convenience.

[0151] In this case, the massage module 100 can also be configured to have guide rollers GR, while the mat 200 has guide rails GL.

[0152] At this time, the guide surface 110 of the massage module 100 and the sliding surface 201 of the mat 200 can be configured to be arranged opposite each other in a state of not contacting each other. Even with such a configuration, the use state of the mat 200 can be smoothly switched by means of the guide rail GL and the guide roller GR.

[0153] Figure 27 and Figure 28 This is a cross-sectional view of a second modified example of a massage device with a folding cushion according to yet another embodiment of the present invention, wherein... Figure 27 The diagram shows the state of the mat configured in the first position. Figure 28 A diagram showing the state of the mat configured in the second state.

[0154] like Figure 27 and Figure 28 As shown, the base plate 300 may have a guide rail GL extending along the length direction X, and the mat 200 may have guide rollers GR. The guide rollers GR move along the guide rail GL to provide a movement path for the mat 200 in the length direction X when switching from the first state S1 to the second state S2. Thus, with the base plate 300 having the guide rail GL extending along the length direction X, the movement of the guide rollers GR on the mat 200 along the guide rail GL ensures stable movement of the mat 200 in the length direction X, thereby making the switching of the mat 200's usage state smoother and improving user convenience.

[0155] In this case, the base plate 300 can also be configured to have guide rollers GR, while the pad 200 has guide rails GL.

[0156] As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a massage device with a foldable cushion allows a user to lie on the support surface F and receive a massage in a supine position when the cushion 200 is configured in a first state S1; when the cushion 200 is configured in a second state S2, the user can also sit on the support surface F of the cushion 200 and rest in a seated position. Furthermore, since the cushion 200 is configured in a partially folded state with the support surface F folded in the second state S2, the space occupied by the massage device is reduced, allowing for more diverse use of the indoor space and improving space utilization. In other words, this cushion 200 can switch between the first state S1, where the user is lying down receiving a massage, and the second state S2, where the massage device can be used for other purposes when not receiving a massage, thus improving convenience and user satisfaction.
