Since the first center bushing 1311 and the first side bushing 1312 include the synthetic resin, wear resistance and fatigue resistance may be improved.
[0177] In addition, the first center bushing 1311 and the first side bushing 1312 may include glass fiber. Since the first center bushing 1311 and the first side bushing 1312 include glass fiber, corrosion resistance and insulation properties may be improved.
[0178] The first center bushing 1311, the first side bushing 1312, and the first shaft 1313 may also be integrally manufactured. In this case, the first center bushing 1311, the first side bushing 1312, and the first shaft 1313 may be made of the same material. As an example, the first center bushing 1311, the first side bushing 1312, and the first shaft 1313 may be made of a metal material.
[0179] The first center bushing 1311 and the first side bushing 1312 may be rotatably fixed to the center support bracket 1530 and the side support bracket 1550 , respectively.

[0195] Reference Fig.13A , the first central rotating member 1532a and the second central rotating member 1532b can be connected by the central rotating member cover 1532c. For example, one side of the central rotating member cover 1532c can be connected to the inner side of the first central rotating member 1532a, and the other side can be connected to the inner side of the second central rotating member 1532b. The central rotating member cover 1532c can be welded to the first central rotating member 1532a and the second central rotating member 1532b or can be connected by a separate fastening member. However, the first central rotating member 1532a, the second central rotating member 1532b and the central rotating member cover 1532c can also be set as one body. In other words, the first central rotating member 1532a, the second central rotating member 1532b and the central rotating member cover 1532c can be set as one body by bending and cutting one member multiple times.
[0196] Reference Fig. 13B, the central rotating member cover 1532c can be connected to the outer sides of the first central rotating member 1532a and the second central rotating member 1532b. The central rotating member cover 1532c can be welded to the first central rotating member 1532a and the second central rotating member 1532b, or can be connected by a separate fastening member. In this case, the central rotating member 1532c can be arranged to cover the upper parts of the first central rotating member 1532a and the second central rotating member 1532b as a whole.
[0197] Furthermore, the central rotating member cover 1532c may be connected to the first central rotating member 1532a and the second central rotating member 1532b by a mechanical structure such as a sliding connection or a hook connection. As long as the central rotating member cover 1532c corresponds to a structure provided to cover at least a portion of the upper portions of the first central rotating member 1532a and the second central rotating member 1532b, the structure for connecting the central rotating member cover 1532c may be replaced by various methods commonly used in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs.
[0198] The central support bracket 1530 may correspond to a component of the safety sensor module 1500 described later. The specific structure of the central support bracket 1530 will be described in detail later.
[0199] The side support bracket 1550 may be provided at both sides of the leg connection frame 1131b. The side support bracket 1550 may include a first side support bracket 1550a provided at the right end portion of the leg connection frame 1131b and a second side support bracket 1550b provided at the left end portion.

[0200] The first side support bracket 1550a may rotatably fix the first side bushing 1312. The second side support bracket 1550b may rotatably fix the second side bushing 1322. For smooth rotation between the side support bracket 1550 and the side bushings 1312, 1322, a bearing may be provided.
[0201] For example, the side supporting bracket 1550 may include a side fixing member 1551 and a side rotating member 1552 .
[0202] The side fixing member 1551 may be welded to the leg connection frame 1131b or may be coupled by a separate fastening member. The side fixing member 1551 may be rotatably coupled to one side of the side rotating member 1552. When the side rotating member 1552 rotates so that its end contacts the side fixing member 1551, it may be connected by the fastening member.
[0203] Fig.14A and Fig. 14Bis a diagram showing a process of fastening a center bushing to a center support bracket, Fig. 14C and Fig.14D 2 is a diagram showing a process of fastening a side bushing to a side support bracket.
[0204] Reference Fig.14A and Fig. 14B , a process of fastening the first center bushing 1311 to the center support bracket 1530 is described.
[0205] The first central fixing member 1531a may be combined with the leg connection frame 1131b. For example, the first central fixing member 1531a may be welded to the leg connection frame 1131b in a state where the leg connection frame 1131b is inserted into the leg connection frame insertion groove 1531d-1 formed at one side of the first central fixing member 1531a or may be combined by a separate fastening member.
[0206] When the first central fixing member 1531a is combined with the leg connecting frame 1131b, the first central rotating member 1532a can be rotated upward. For example, the first central rotating member 1532a can be rotatably hinged to the first central fixing member 1531a through the central rotating shaft 1532a-1, and can be rotated upward based on the central rotating shaft 1532a-1. Here, the central rotating shaft 1532a-1 can refer to a separate rotating shaft that rotatably connects the first central fixing member 1531a and the first central rotating member 1532a. However, the central rotating shaft 1532a-1 can also be set as one with either the first central fixing member 1531a or the first central rotating member 1532a.
[0207] The first center bushing 1311 may be seated in the center bushing receiving groove 1531d-5 of the first center fixing member 1531a.
[0208] When the first center bushing 1311 is installed, the first center rotating member 1532a can be rotated downward. At this time, at least a portion of the upper peripheral surface of the first center bushing 1311 can be accommodated in the center bushing fixing groove 1532d of the first center rotating member 1532a. The center bushing accommodating groove 1531d-5 and the center bushing fixing groove 1532d can rotatably support the first center bushing 1311.
[0209] When the first central rotating member 1532a is rotated downward and the end portion contacts the fixing piece 1531d-4 of the first central fixing member, the first central rotating member 1532a may be connected to the fixing piece 1531d-4 by the fastening member.
[0210] The process of fastening the second center bushing 1321 to the center support bracket 1530 is the same as the process of fastening the first center bushing 1311 to the center support bracket 1530 described above.
[0211] Reference Fig. 14B and Fig. 14C , a process of fastening the first side bushing 1312 to the first side support bracket 1550a is described.
[0212] The side fixing member 1551 may be combined with the leg connection frame 1131b. For example, the side fixing member 1551 may be welded to the leg connection frame 1131b or may be combined by a separate fastening member.
[0213] When the side fixing member 1551 is combined with the leg connection frame 1131b, the side rotation member 1552 can be rotated upward. For example, the side rotation member 1552 can be rotatably hinged to the side fixing member 1551 through the side rotation shaft 1552b, and can be rotated upward based on the side rotation shaft 1552b. Here, the side rotation shaft 1552b can refer to a separate rotation shaft that rotatably connects the side fixing member 1551 and the side rotation member 1552. However, the side rotation shaft 1552b can also be provided as a whole with either the side fixing member 1551 or the side rotation member 1552.
[0214] The first side bushing 1312 may be seated in the side bushing receiving groove 1551 a of the side fixing member 1551 .
[0215] When the first side bushing 1312 is installed, the side rotating member 1552 may be rotated downward. At this time, at least a portion of the upper peripheral surface of the first side bushing 1312 may be accommodated in the side bushing fixing groove 1552a of the side rotating member 1552. The side bushing accommodating groove 1551a and the side bushing fixing groove 1552a may rotatably support the first side bushing 1312.
[0216] When the side rotation member 1552 is rotated downward and the end portion is in contact with the side fixing member 1551 , the side rotation member 1552 may be connected to the side fixing member 1551 by the fastening member.
[0217] The process of fastening the second side bushing 1322 to the second side support bracket 1550b is the same as the process of fastening the first side bushing 1312 to the first side support bracket 1550a described above.
[0218] As described above, since the central bushing and the side bushings may be fixed by being seated on the central support bracket 1530 and the side support bracket 1550 and fastened, the leg massage part 1300 may be easily connected to the body massage part 1100 .
[0219] Fig.15 Schematically shows a leg length adjustment module of the leg massage part 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.16 It is a diagram for explaining the length adjustment principle of the leg massage part 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.17 Is magnification Fig.15 Figure 2. Fig.18 Is magnification Fig.15 Figure 2.
[0220] Reference Fig.15 , the massage device 1000 may include a leg length adjustment module 2500 for adjusting the length of the leg massage part 2000. At this time, the leg length adjustment module 2500 may adjust the length of the leg massage part 2000 based on the control of the control part 1400.
[0221] The leg length adjustment module 2500 may include a first leg length adjustment module 2500a and a second leg length adjustment module 2500b.
[0222] The first leg length adjustment module 2500a can be arranged in the first leg massage part 2000a. For example, the first leg length adjustment module 2500a can be arranged at the rear of the first leg massage part 2000a. Specifically, the first leg length adjustment module 2500a can be arranged between the rear of the first leg massage part 2000a and the front of the first leg angle adjustment module 1350a. At this time, the first leg length adjustment module 2500a can be arranged at the inner rear of the first leg massage part 2000a.
[0223] The first leg length adjusting module 2500a can adjust the length of the first leg massaging part 2000a by moving the position of the first leg massaging part 2000a. At this time, the first leg length adjusting module 2500a can adjust the length of the first leg massaging part 2000a based on the length of one leg of the user.
[0224] As an example, the first leg length adjustment module 2500a can adjust the length of the first leg massage part 2000a by moving the first leg massage part 2000a in at least one direction of the upper side (or the upper side direction) and the lower side (or the lower side direction) of the first leg massage part 2000a. At this time, the upper side direction of the first leg massage part 2000a can be a direction from the lower side of the first leg massage part 2000a toward the upper side of the first leg massage part 2000a, and the lower side direction of the first leg massage part 2000a can be a direction from the upper side of the first leg massage part 2000a toward the lower side of the first leg massage part 2000a.
[0225] As another example, the first leg length adjustment module 2500a can move at least one of the first upper leg massage part 2000aa and the first lower leg massage part 2000ab of the first leg massage part 2000a in at least one direction of the upper side and the lower side of the first leg massage part 2000a and adjust (or adjust) the distance between the first upper leg massage part 2000aa and the first lower leg massage part 2000ab, so that the length of the first leg massage part 2000a can be adjusted. At this time, the first upper leg massage part 2000aa can massage the upper part of one leg of the user (for example, the calf). For example, the first upper leg massage part 2000aa can include a massage module such as an air bag and a roller for massaging the upper part of the leg in at least a part of the entire area of the first upper leg massage part 2000aa. The second lower leg massage part 2000ab can massage the lower part of the other leg of the user (for example, the foot). For example, the second lower leg massage part 2000ab may include a massage module such as an air bag and a roller for massaging the lower part of the leg in at least a part of the entire area of the second lower leg massage part 2000ab.
[0226] The second leg length adjustment module 2500b may be included in the second leg massage part 2000b. For example, the second leg length adjustment module 2500b may be arranged at the rear of the second leg massage part 2000b. Specifically, the second leg length adjustment module 2500b may be arranged between the rear of the second leg massage part 2000b and the front of the second leg angle adjustment module 1350b. At this time, the second leg length adjustment module 2500b may be arranged at the inner rear of the second leg massage part 2000b.
[0227] The second leg length adjustment module 2500b can adjust the length of the second leg massage part 2000b by moving the position of the second leg massage part 2000b. At this time, the second leg length adjustment module 2500b can adjust the length of the second leg massage part 2000b based on the length of the other leg of the user.
[0228] As an example, the second leg length adjustment module 2500b can adjust the length of the second leg massage part 2000b by moving the second leg massage part 2000b in at least one direction of the upper side (or the upper side direction) and the lower side (or the lower side direction) of the second leg massage part 2000b. At this time, the upper side direction of the second leg massage part 2000b can be a direction from the lower side of the second leg massage part 2000b toward the upper side of the second leg massage part 2000b, and the lower side direction of the second leg massage part 2000b can be a direction from the upper side of the second leg massage part 2000b toward the lower side of the second leg massage part 2000b.
[0229] As another example, the second leg length adjustment module 2500b can adjust the length of the second leg massage part 2000b by adjusting (regulating) the distance between the second upper leg massage part 2000ba and the second lower leg massage part 2000bb by moving at least one of the second upper leg massage part 2000ba and the second lower leg massage part 2000bb of the second leg massage part 2000b in at least one of the upper direction and the lower direction of the second leg massage part 2000b. In this case, the content of the first upper leg massage part 2000aa can be applied to the second upper leg massage part 2000ba, and the content of the first lower leg massage part 2000ab can be applied to the second lower leg massage part 2000bb.
[0230] In other words, the length of each leg massaging part 2000a, 2000b can be adjusted based on the length of each leg by the adjusting module of each leg massaging part.
[0231] Specifically, refer to Fig.15 and Fig.16 The adjustment modules 2500a, 2500b may include lead screws 2510a, 2510b for adjusting the distance between the upper leg massage parts 2000aa, 2000ba and the lower leg massage parts 2000ab, 2000bb, and leg length adjustment actuators 2520a, 2520b for providing power to the lead screws 2510a, 2510b.
[0232] According to a preferred embodiment, the lead screws 2510a, 2510b may have a spiral formed along the outer surface, and the inner surface of the leg frame 2210 is formed to correspond to the lead screws 2510a, 2510b, and may include a fixing member through which the lead screws 2510a, 2510b pass. In addition, the leg frame 2210 may be provided at the upper leg massage part 2000aa, 2000ba, and the lead screws 2510a, 2510b and the leg length adjustment actuators 2520a, 2520b may be provided at the lower leg massage part 2000ab, 2000bb.
[0233] The lead screws 2510a and 2510b can be rotated by the leg length adjustment actuators 2520a and 2520b, and the lead screws 2510a and 2510b can be rotated while passing through the fixing member in a spiral manner and can move up and down. As a result, the lower leg massage parts 2000ab and 2000bb can approach or move away from the upper leg massage parts 2000aa and 2000ba as the lead screws 2510a and 2510b rotate, so that the distance between the upper leg massage parts 2000aa and 2000ba and the lower leg massage parts 2000ab and 2000bb can be adjusted, and as a result, the lengths of the first leg massage part 2000a and the second leg massage part 2000b can be adjusted.
[0234] Reference Fig.17 , guide rails 2211a, 2211b may be formed on the inner side of the leg frames 2210a, 2210b. And, the first leg massage part 2000a and the second leg massage part 2000b may include guide rollers 2540a, 2540b moving along the guide rails 2211a, 2211b and guide rods 2530a, 2530b for supporting the guide rollers 2540a, 2540b. At this time, one end of the guide rods 2530a, 2530b may be connected to the lower leg massage part 2000ab, 2000bb. Therefore, as the lead screws 2510a, 2510b rotate, the guide rods 2530a, 2530b and the guide rollers 2540a, 2540b may move in the same direction as the lower leg massage part 2000ab, 2000bb.
[0235] On the other hand, the guide rollers 2540a and 2540b can move along the guide rails 2211a and 2211b. Therefore, the guide rollers 2540a and 2540b can guide the lower leg massage parts 2000ab and 2000bb to move in the appropriate direction. Therefore, during the movement of the lower leg massage parts 2000ab and 2000bb, the leg massage parts 2000a and 2000b on both sides can be kept from shaking.
[0236] On the other hand, the guide rails 2211a and 2211b may be formed at a portion of the inner side of the leg frame 2210. Fig.17 The guide rails 2211a and 2211b are formed only on a part of the inner side of the leg frame 2210, and the claws are formed on the remaining part to block the movement of the guide rollers 2540a and 2540b. Therefore, the lower leg massage parts 2000ab and 2000bb can be blocked from moving beyond the limit point, and the lower leg massage parts 2000ab and 2000bb can be prevented from being completely separated from the upper leg massage parts 2000aa and 2000ba.
[0237] On the other hand, in order to more appropriately guide the movement of the guide rods 2530a and 2530b, the leg massage part 2000 may further include guide wheels 2551a and 2551b and guide wheel brackets 2552a and 2552b for accommodating and supporting the guide wheels 2551a and 2551b. Fig.18 , at least one guide wheel 2551a, 2551b can be arranged on the inner side of the guide wheel bracket 2552a, 2552b. The outer surface of the guide wheel 2551a, 2551b can be formed to be recessed inwardly, and the guide rods 2530a, 2530b can be inserted and positioned to correspond to the recessed area. Therefore, when the guide rods 2530a, 2530b move up and down, the guide wheels 2551a, 2551b can support the guide rods 2530a, 2530b so as not to deviate from the moving path. As a result, the guide wheels 2551a, 2551b support the guide rods 2530a, 2530b so that the guide rods 2530a, 2530b do not shake when moving, and can guide the moving path so that the guide rods 2530a, 2530b move in the appropriate direction. Therefore, the lower leg massage parts 2000ab and 2000bb can also be moved in appropriate directions by the guide rods 2530a and 2530b without shaking.
[0238] Fig.19 2 is a diagram showing a leg massage part 2600 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0239] The lower leg massage part 2000ab, 2000bb may include a foot massage part 2610, 2630 on one side. Preferably, the foot massage part 2610, 2630 may be provided at the lowermost end or the bottom of the lower leg massage part 2000ab, 2000bb.
[0240] The foot massage part 2610, 2630 may include at least one foot massage module (or a massage unit for massaging the foot) and a foot massage actuator (or a foot driving unit) for driving at least one foot massage module. For example, the first leg massage part 2000a may include a first foot massage part 2610 configured in an area corresponding to the foot (or sole) of one leg of the user. The second leg massage part 2000b may include a second foot massage part 2630 configured in an area corresponding to the foot (or sole) of the other leg of the user.
[0241] The first foot massage part 2610 may include at least one of the first foot massage module 2612 and the second foot massage module 2613. The first foot massage module 2612 and the second foot massage module 2613 are arranged (or configured) in front and rear of the first foot massage part 2610, respectively, and provide massage to the entire sole of one leg of the user. In addition, the first foot massage part 2610 may include a first foot massage actuator 2611 for driving at least one foot massage module. The first foot massage actuator 2611 may be configured in front of the first foot massage part 2610 and in front of the first foot massage module 2612 and drive at least one foot massage module. At this time, the front of the first foot massage part 2610 and the front of the first foot massage module 2612 may be an area corresponding to the toes of one leg in the entire area of the first foot massage part 2610.
[0242] The second foot massage part 2630 may include at least one of the third foot massage module 2632 and the fourth foot massage module 2633. For example, the third foot massage module 2632 and the fourth foot massage module 2633 are arranged (or configured) in front and rear of the second foot massage part 2630, respectively, and provide massage to the entire sole of the other leg of the user. In addition, the second foot massage part 2630 may include a second foot massage actuator 2631 for driving at least one foot massage module. The second foot massage actuator 2631 may be configured in front of the second foot massage part 2630 and in front of the third foot massage module 2632 and drive at least one foot massage module. At this time, the front of the second foot massage part 2630 and the front of the third foot massage module 2632 may be an area corresponding to the toes of the other leg in the entire area of the second foot massage part 2630.
[0243] As described above, the first foot massage part 2610 and the second foot massage part 2630 include two foot massage modules and one foot massage actuator, but are not limited thereto. For example, each of the first foot massage part and the second foot massage part may include a plurality of foot massage modules (e.g., more than three), such as Fig.23 As shown, each foot massage module can be arranged on a straight line. In this case, the straight line can be a line that crosses the sole of the foot. Each of the first foot massage part and the second foot massage part can include a single foot massage actuator to drive all of the multiple foot massage modules through the single foot massage actuator.
[0244] On the other hand, the surface of the foot massage module may be formed with at least one protrusion. Therefore, the foot massage module can provide massage to the sole of the user's foot by rotating.
[0245] Alternatively, the foot massage module may be a roller whose surface is formed in an arc shape. Therefore, the foot massage module may provide massage to the sole of the user's foot by rotating.
[0246] On the other hand, as an optional embodiment, the foot massage actuator may be equipped with a cam. Therefore, the foot massage part can provide acupressure massage to the toe portion of the user using the cam without rolling massage. And, by installing the cam on the foot massage actuator, space efficiency can be improved compared to the case where the foot massage actuator is separately provided.
[0247] Fig. 20 2 is a diagram showing a sensor of a leg massage part according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.21 Is magnification Fig. 20 FIG. 4 is a diagram of part D of FIG.
[0248] Reference Fig. 20 and Fig.21 The leg massage part 2000a, 2000b may further include a measurement sensor part for measuring the length of the user's leg. For example, the measurement sensor part may include at least one of a first measurement sensor and a second measurement sensor. The first leg massage part 2000a may include a first measurement sensor for measuring the length of one leg, and the second leg massage part 2000b may include a second measurement sensor for measuring the length of the other leg.
[0249] Preferably, each measurement sensor may include at least one sensor (or sub-measurement sensor) of a first sensor (or a first sub-measurement sensor) and a second sensor (or a second sub-measurement sensor) to measure the length of the user's legs.
[0250] The first sensor may be a capacitive touch sensor. The first sensor may roughly measure the length of the user's legs. Therefore, the length of the user's legs may be measured by the first sensor, and the length of the leg massage parts 2000a, 2000b may be adjusted accordingly.
[0251] The first sensor can measure the leg length by recognizing the user's body contact. Therefore, the first sensor can measure the user's leg length according to whether it is in contact with the user's body, and based on this, the massage device 1000 can adjust the length of the leg massage parts 2000a and 2000b, so the accuracy may be reduced, but the length of the leg massage parts 2000a and 2000b can be adjusted quickly and roughly.
[0252] The second sensor may be a photoelectric sensor PS or a load sensor. The second sensor may be used to accurately measure the length of the user's legs. Therefore, after the massage device 1000 roughly measures the length of the user's legs using the first sensor and adjusts the lengths of the leg massage parts 2000a and 2000b accordingly, the massage device 1000 may accurately measure the length of the user's legs using the second sensor and adjust the lengths of the leg massage parts 2000a and 2000b accordingly.
[0253] As an embodiment, the second sensor may be a photoelectric sensor PS. Preferably, it may be a mechanical photoelectric sensor. As described above, when the photoelectric sensor PS is used, the length of the user's legs can be measured more accurately than when only the first sensor is used. In addition, the photoelectric sensors PS are respectively provided at the leg massage parts on both sides, so that the length of the user's legs on both sides can be measured more accurately.
[0254] For example, the photoelectric sensor PS may be located at the lower side of the leg massage part 2000a, 2000b. Therefore, the photoelectric sensor PS can more accurately measure the leg length of the user. Fig.21 When the photoelectric sensors PS are respectively located at the lower sides of the leg massage parts 2000a and 2000b on both sides and the leg massage parts 2000a and 2000b move, the disc member rotates due to the movement, and the degree of received light that changes with the rotation of the disc member can be measured, thereby accurately measuring the user's leg length.
[0255] However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and of course the user's leg length may be measured by using different types of photoelectric sensors PS or by driving the principle of an existing photoelectric sensor PS.
[0256] As another example, the second sensor may measure the leg length by measuring the load applied to the user's legs.
[0257] For example, the control part 1400 of the massage device 1000 may recognize the length of the leg massage parts 2000a, 2000b when a preset size load is applied to the second sensor while adjusting the distance between the upper leg massage parts 2000aa, 2000ba and the lower leg massage parts 2000ab, 2000bb as the user's leg length. Therefore, the massage device 1000 may recognize the distance of the leg massage parts 2000a, 2000b when a preset size load is applied to the second sensor while finely adjusting the distance between the upper leg massage parts 2000aa, 2000ba and the lower leg massage parts 2000ab, 2000bb as the user's leg length, and in this case, the length of the leg massage parts 2000a, 2000b may be adjusted in a manner corresponding to the user's leg length.
[0258] On the other hand, the first sensor and the second sensor can be located on the lower surface of the leg massage part 2000a, 2000b. Preferably, they can be set at a position corresponding to the bottom of the user's foot. Therefore, the user's leg length can be accurately measured according to the length change of the leg massage part 2000a, 2000b.
[0259] Hereinafter, the operation method of the massage device 1000 will be described in detail.
[0260] The operation method of the massage device 1000 according to the utility model may include: a step of receiving user input; a step of identifying body information related to at least a part of the user's body; a step of adjusting the massage device based on the body information; and a step of providing massage to the user using the adjusted massage device.
[0261] Fig. 22 An example for explaining a motion mode according to an embodiment of the present utility model is shown. Fig.23 An example for explaining a reclining action according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.
[0262] The massage device 1000 may provide a motion mode for exercising the user's body. At this time, the motion mode may be a mode for exercising the user's legs.
[0263] The control unit 1400 may execute or automatically execute the exercise mode based on the user's response. In this case, the user's response may be a response (or signal) for executing the exercise mode.
[0264] For example, the control unit 1400 controls the movement of the massage device 1000 according to the massage map of the movement mode, so that the movement mode can be provided to the user. At this time, the massage map can be preset according to various objects and stored in the memory 1430. The objects can be many, for example, users, managers and / or practitioners and doctors of various enterprises such as manufacturers, sales companies, distribution companies, and development companies of the massage device. The movement of the massage device 1000 can be the movement of various components of the massage device 1000, such as the massage module 1110, at least one of the body massage part 1100, the arm massage part 1200, and the leg massage part 2000.
[0265] Specifically, Fig.23 As shown, the control unit 1400 causes the massage device 1000 to recline (step S2210), and can control the movement of the massage device 1000 according to the massage map of the motion pattern in the state where the massage device 1000 is reclined to provide the user with the motion pattern (step S2230).
[0266] First, the control unit 1400 controls the back angle actuator to tilt the body massage unit 1100 toward the rear of the massage device 1000 and tilt (or rotate) the leg massage unit toward the upper side of the massage device 1000, so that the massage device 1000 can be reclined. The reclining massage device 1000 can be a state in which the body massage unit 1100 is tilted toward the rear of the massage device 1000 and the leg massage unit 2000 is rotated toward the upper side of the massage device 1000.
[0267] For example, the control unit 1400 tilts the body massage unit 1100 toward the rear direction of the body massage unit 1100 based on the preset angle, and tilts the leg massage unit 2000 upward, thereby adjusting the angle of the leg massage unit 2000. At this time, the preset angle may be preset by a variety of objects and stored in the memory 1430 as an angle for adjusting the angle of the body massage unit 1100 and the angle of each leg massage unit.
[0268] The control unit 1400 may adjust the length of each leg massage part based on the length of each leg during (or after) the tilting of each leg massage part. At this time, the control unit 1400 may measure the length of each leg. Since the action of adjusting the length of each leg massage part and the action of measuring the length of each leg are the same as described above, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0269] Thereafter, the control unit 1400 controls the motion of the massage device 1000 according to the massage map of the motion pattern in the state where the massage device 1000 is reclined, thereby providing the motion pattern to the user.
[0270] In other words, the control part 1400 may provide the user with a motion pattern in a state where the massage device 1000 is reclined.
[0271] Through this, the control part 1400 makes the massage device 1000 recline to ensure the space for exercising the user's legs, so that the leg exercising effect can be increased by eliminating the space limitation for exercising the user's legs.
[0272] As described above, the control part 1400 provides the user with the exercise mode in the state where the massage device 1000 is reclined, but is not limited thereto.
[0273] For example, the control unit 1400 can provide a motion mode after controlling the massage device 1000 to provide a relaxing massage for relaxing the user's body while the massage device 1000 is reclining. At this time, the control unit 1400 can simultaneously perform the motion of providing a relaxing massage and the motion of measuring the length of each leg.
[0274] The relaxing massage may be a massage according to a preset massage intensity and speed. For example, the relaxing massage may be provided as an average massage intensity and an average massage speed among the massage intensity and speed that the massage device 1000 may provide, or as a minimum massage intensity and a minimum massage speed, but is not limited thereto.
[0275] Through this, the control part 1400 can prevent injuries caused by the exercise pattern by relaxing the user's body before providing the exercise pattern, and increase the exercise effect.
[0276] As described above, the control unit 1400 provides the user with the exercise mode after the massage device 1000 is reclined and provides a relaxing massage, but is not limited thereto. For example, the control unit 1400 may provide the exercise mode while performing at least one of the actions of reclining the massage device 1000 and providing a relaxing massage.
[0277] Fig.24 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a body airbag and a leg airbag included in a body massage part according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0278] The body massage part 1000 may include a body air bag 1600 for massaging (or pressurizing) the user's body.
[0279] For example, the body airbag 1600 may include at least one of a shoulder airbag configured at a position corresponding to the user's shoulder, a back airbag configured at a position corresponding to the user's back, a pelvic airbag configured at a position corresponding to the user's pelvis, a thigh airbag configured at a position corresponding to the user's thigh, and a perineum airbag configured at a position corresponding to the user's perineum.
[0280] Specifically, the body airbag 1600 may include a first body airbag 1610 disposed at one side of the body massage part 1000 and massaging one side of the user's body, a second body airbag 1630 disposed at the other side of the body massage part 1000 and massaging the other side of the user's body, and a third body airbag 1650 disposed between the one side and the other side of the body massage part 1000 and massaging a portion between the one side and the other side of the user's body. The first body airbag 1610 may be an airbag corresponding to the first leg massage part 2000a, and the second body airbag 1630 may be an airbag corresponding to the second leg massage part 2000b.
[0281] The first body airbag 1610 may include at least one of a first shoulder airbag 1611, a first back airbag 1613, a first pelvic airbag 1615, and a first thigh airbag 1617. The second body airbag 1630 may include at least one of a second shoulder airbag 1631, a second back airbag 1633, a second pelvic airbag 1635, and a second thigh airbag 1637.
[0282] The first shoulder airbag 1611 can be arranged in an area corresponding to one side of the user's shoulder (e.g., an upper end area on one side of the body massage part 1000) in the entire area on one side of the body massage part 1000 and massage one side of the user's shoulder. The second shoulder airbag 1631 can be arranged in an area corresponding to the other side of the user's shoulder (e.g., an upper end area on the other side of the body massage part 1000) in the entire area on the other side of the body massage part 1000 and massage the other side of the user's shoulder. At this time, the first shoulder airbag 1611 and the second shoulder airbag 1631 can massage (or fix) the user's shoulders by pressurizing the surfaces on both sides of the user's shoulders (or the upper surfaces on both sides of the shoulders).
[0283] The first back airbag 1613 may be arranged in an area corresponding to one side of the user's back (e.g., an area between an upper end of one side and a lower end of one side of the body massage part 1000) in the entire area of one side of the body massage part 1000 and massage one side of the user's back. The second back airbag 1633 may be arranged in an area corresponding to the other side of the user's back (e.g., an area between an upper end of the other side and a lower end of the other side of the body massage part 1000) in the entire area of the other side of the body massage part 1000 and massage the other side of the user's back. At this time, the first back airbag 1613 and the second back airbag 1633 massage the user's back by applying pressure to the rear surface of the user's back, thereby pushing (or moving) the user's back toward the front direction of the body massage part 1000.
[0284] The first pelvic airbag 1615 can be arranged in the entire area of one side of the body massage part 1000 in an area corresponding to one side of the user's pelvis (for example, the lower end area of one side of the body massage part 1000) and massage one side of the user's pelvis. The second pelvic airbag 1635 can be arranged in the entire area of the other side of the body massage part 1000 in an area corresponding to the other side of the user's pelvis (for example, the lower end area of the other side of the body massage part 1000) and massage the other side of the user's pelvis. At this time, the first pelvic airbag 1615 and the second pelvic airbag 1635 can pressurize the surfaces on both sides of the user's pelvis to massage (or fix) the user's pelvis.
[0285] The first thigh airbag 1617 can be arranged in the entire area of one side of the body massage part 1000, in an area corresponding to the thigh of one leg of the user (or the central area of the lower end central area of the body massage part 1000), and massage the thigh of one leg of the user. The second thigh airbag 1637 can be arranged in the entire area of the other side of the body massage part 1000, in an area corresponding to the thigh of the other leg of the user (or the central area of the lower end central area of the body massage part 1000), and massage the thigh of the other leg of the user. At this time, the first thigh airbag 1617 and the second thigh airbag 1637 can massage in a manner of pressurizing the rear surface of the thigh of the user and pushing the two thighs of the user toward the upper side of the body massage part 1000.
[0286] The third body airbag 1650 is arranged in an area corresponding to the user's perineum (e.g., the front center area of the body massage part 1000) in the entire area between one side and the other side of the body massage part 1000, and massages the user's perineum. At this time, the perineum airbag as the third body airbag 1650 pressurizes the user's perineum in a manner of pushing / lifting the user toward the upper side of the body massage part 1000 to massage the user's body.
[0287] Also, the leg massaging part 2000 may include a leg airbag 1700 for massaging the user's legs.
[0288] For example, the leg airbag 1700 may include a first leg airbag 1710 corresponding to the first leg massage part 2000a (or the user's leg on one side) and a second leg airbag 1730 corresponding to the second leg massage part 2000b (or the user's leg on the other side). At this time, each leg airbag 1710, 1730 can massage the user's leg by expanding and contracting.
[0289] Specifically, the first leg massage part 2000a may include a first leg airbag 1710 disposed at at least a portion of the first leg massage part 2000a. The second leg massage part 2000b may include a second leg airbag 1730 disposed at at least a portion of the second leg massage part 2000b.
[0290] Each leg airbag 1710, 1730 may include at least one of a calf airbag disposed at a position corresponding to a user's calf and a foot airbag disposed at a position corresponding to a user's foot.
[0291] For example, first leg airbag 1710 may include at least one of first calf airbag 1711 and second foot airbag 1713. Second leg airbag 1730 may include at least one of second calf airbag 1731 and second foot airbag 1733.
[0292] The first calf airbag 1711 may be disposed in an area of the first leg massaging part 2000a corresponding to the calf of one leg of the user (eg, an upper end area of the first leg massaging part 2000a) and massage the calf of the user.
[0293] For example, the first calf airbag 1711 may include at least one of the first sub-calf airbag 1711a and the second sub-calf airbag 1711b. The first sub-calf airbag 1711a may be arranged in an area corresponding to the side of the calf of one leg and massage (or pressurize) the side of the calf. The second sub-calf airbag 1711b may be arranged in an area corresponding to the back of the calf of one leg and massage the back of the calf. At this time, the first sub-calf airbag 1711a can massage (or fix) the user's calf by pressurizing both sides of the calf of one leg.
[0294] The second calf airbag 1731 may include at least one of a third sub-calf airbag 1731a and a fourth sub-calf airbag 1731b. The third sub-calf airbag 1731a is the same as the first sub-calf airbag 1711a applied to the second leg massage part 2000b, so its detailed description will be omitted. The fourth sub-calf airbag 1731b is the same as the second sub-calf airbag 1711b applied to the second leg massage part 2000b, so its detailed description will be omitted.
[0295] The first foot airbag 1713 may be disposed in an area corresponding to the foot of one leg of the user (eg, a lower end area of the first leg massage part 2000a) in the entire area of the second leg massage part 2000a to massage the foot of the user.
[0296] For example, the first foot airbag 1713 may include at least one of the first sub-foot airbag 1713a and the second sub-foot airbag 1713b. The first sub-foot airbag 1713a may be arranged in an area corresponding to the side of the foot (or foot, etc.) of one leg and massage (or pressurize) the side of the foot (or foot, etc.). The second sub-foot airbag 1713b may be arranged in an area corresponding to the back of the foot (or heel, Achilles tendon) of one leg and massage (or pressurize) the back of the foot (or heel, Achilles tendon). At this time, the first sub-foot airbag 1713a can massage (or fix) the user's foot by pressurizing both sides of the foot of one leg.
[0297] The second foot airbag 1733 may include at least one of a third sub-foot airbag 1733a and a fourth sub-foot airbag 1733b. The third sub-foot airbag 1733a is the same as the first sub-foot airbag 1713a applied to the second leg massage part 2000b, so its detailed description will be omitted. The fourth sub-foot airbag 1733b is the same as the second sub-foot airbag 1713b applied to the second leg massage part 2000b, so its detailed description will be omitted.
[0298] Also, the arm massaging part 1200 may include arm airbags for massaging the user's arms.
[0299] For example, the arm airbags may include a first arm airbag corresponding to the first arm massage part 1210 (or one arm of the user) and a second arm airbag corresponding to the second arm massage part 1230 (or the other arm of the user).
[0300] The first arm airbag can massage one side of the user's arm, and the second arm airbag can massage the other side of the user's arm.
[0301] Fig.25 A sequence diagram for illustrating a motion mode according to an embodiment of the present utility model is shown.
[0302] The control unit 1400 may control the motion of the massage device 1000 through a massage map based on a sports mode (or a rehabilitation mode, a cycle mode, a bicycle mode), thereby providing a sports mode to the user.
[0303] The exercise mode may include a leg exercise motion (or a cycling motion) in which the user crosses and pushes the user's legs on both sides to exercise the user's legs, similar to the user riding a bicycle.
[0304] First, the control unit 1400 may cause the massage device 1000 to recline (step S2510). Since the operation in step S2510 is the same as the operation in step S2210, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0305] Thereafter, the control unit 1400 may control the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b in the state where the massage device 1000 is reclined, so as to perform a leg exercise action for exercising the user's legs in a similar manner to the action of the user riding a bicycle (step S2530). At this time, the control unit 1400 may control each leg massage unit 2000a, 2000b through at least one of the leg length adjustment module 2500 and the leg angle adjustment module 1350.
[0306] For example, the control unit 1400 can perform a bicycle riding action by controlling at least one of the first length of the first leg massage unit 2000a, the first angle of the first leg massage unit 2000a, the second length of the second leg massage unit 2000b, and the second angle of the second leg massage unit 2000b. At this time, the control unit 1400 can inflate the leg airbags of each leg massage unit while adjusting the first and second lengths, the first and second angles, respectively.
[0307] Thus, the massage device 1000 exercises the muscles around the user's legs and pelvis through leg exercise motions, thereby preventing possible injuries to the user's legs and improving or maintaining the user's physical health.
[0308] The massage device 1000 recognizes the movement of the hip joint and the knee joint through the leg movement action and improves the mobility of the joints, thereby relieving the pain caused by the stiffness of the muscles around the hip joint and the knee joint caused by bad sitting habits and the decreased mobility of the hip joint and the knee joint, and can correct the incorrect walking method. Bad sitting habits may refer to the sitting habits of sitting incorrectly for a long time.
[0309] In other words, the exercise mode may be a mode used by a user with normal legs to exercise the user's legs or by a user with abnormal legs due to leg injuries or the like to recover the user's legs.
[0310] Fig.26 Shown for illustration Fig.25 The sequence diagram of the leg movement actions shown.
[0311] The leg movement action may include at least one of a first leg movement action, a second leg movement action, a third leg movement action, and a fourth leg movement action. The first leg movement action and the third leg movement action may be actions of pulling any one of the legs on both sides of the user and pushing the other leg. The second leg movement action and the fourth leg movement action may be actions of lifting any one of the legs on both sides of the user and putting down the other leg.
[0312] The control unit 1400 may perform a first leg exercise action (S2531), a second leg exercise action (S2533), a third leg exercise action (S2535), and then a fourth leg exercise action (S2537). At this time, the control unit 1400 may repeatedly perform the first leg exercise action to the fourth leg exercise action in sequence. Specifically, the control unit 1400 may repeatedly perform the first leg exercise action to the fourth leg exercise action based on a preset number of repetitions. The number of repetitions may be preset by various objects and stored in the memory 1430.
[0313] As described above, the control unit 1400 sequentially performs the first to fourth leg exercise movements, but is not limited thereto.
[0314] For example, the control unit 1400 may define the first and third leg motions (or the motions for adjusting the first and second lengths) and the second and fourth leg motions (or the motions for adjusting the first and second angles) as one cycle (cycle, or cycle motion). If one cycle is defined, the control unit 1400 may repeat the cycle to execute.
[0315] Specifically, the control unit 1400 may define any one of the first leg movement action and the third leg movement action and any one of the second leg movement action and the fourth leg movement action as a first cycle. The control unit 1400 may define the remaining leg movement actions of the first leg movement action and the third leg movement action and the remaining leg movement actions of the second leg movement action and the fourth leg movement action as a second cycle. The control unit 1400 may execute in a manner of repeating the defined first cycle and second cycle. At this time, the control unit 1400 may execute the first cycle first and then the second cycle, or execute the second cycle first and then the first cycle.
[0316] In the following, for convenience of description, it is assumed that the control unit 1400 performs the first to fourth leg exercise actions in sequence.
[0317] Fig. 27 It is used to illustrate Fig.26 Diagram of each leg movement action shown.
[0318] The control part 1400 may perform a first leg movement action (action B) of pulling and pushing the user's legs in a state where the massage device 1000 is reclining (action A).
[0319] For example, the control part 1400 performs a first leg exercise motion of pulling one leg of the user and pushing the other leg through each leg massaging part, thereby exercising the legs of the user.
[0320] Specifically, the control unit 1400 increases the first length of the first leg massage part 2000a and reduces the second length of the second leg massage part 2000b through the first leg length adjustment module 2500a and the second leg length adjustment module 2500b, thereby adjusting the first length of the first leg massage part 2000a and the second length of the second leg massage part 2000b.
[0321] The control unit 1400 may perform a second leg movement motion (motion C) of lifting and lowering the user's legs after performing motion B.
[0322] For example, the control part 1400 performs the second leg exercise action of lifting one leg of the user and lowering the other leg through each leg massaging part, thereby exercising the legs of the user.
[0323] Specifically, the control unit 1400 tilts the first leg massage unit 2000a downward and tilts the second leg massage unit 2000b upward through the first leg angle adjustment module 1350a and the second leg angle adjustment module 1350b, thereby adjusting the first angle of the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second angle of the second leg massage unit 2000b.
[0324] The control unit 1400 may perform a third leg movement action (action D) of pulling and pushing the user's legs after performing action C.
[0325] For example, the control part 1400 performs the third leg exercise action of pulling one leg of the user and pushing the other leg through each leg massaging part, thereby exercising the legs of the user.
[0326] Specifically, the control part 1400 can adjust the first length of the first leg massage part 2000a and the second length of the second leg massage part 2000b again by reducing the first length increased in action B and increasing the second length reduced in action B through the first leg length adjustment module 2500a and the second leg length adjustment module 2500b. In other words, the control part 1400 can reduce the increased first length and increase the reduced second length.
[0327] The control unit 1400 may perform a fourth leg movement motion (motion E) of lifting and lowering the user's legs after performing motion D.
[0328] For example, the control part 1400 performs the fourth leg exercise action of lifting one leg of the user and lowering the other leg through each leg massaging part, thereby exercising the legs of the user.
[0329] Specifically, the control unit 1400 tilts the downwardly tilted first leg massage unit 2000a upward through the first leg angle adjustment module 1350a and the second leg angle adjustment module 1350b, and tilts the upwardly tilted second leg massage unit 2000b downward, so that the first angle of the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second angle of the second leg massage unit 2000b can be adjusted again.
[0330] Thus, the control unit 1400 can exercise both legs of the user in a balanced manner.
[0331] Hereinafter, the length adjustment operation for each length and the angle adjustment operation for each angle will be described in detail.
[0332] The control part 1400 may control each leg massaging part based on each leg length of the user, thereby adjusting each length and each angle.
[0333] For example, the control part 1400 may determine a length adjustment value for adjusting each length and an angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle based on each leg length.
[0334] The control part 1400 may control the first and second leg length adjustment modules 2500a and 2500b and the first and second leg angle adjustment modules 1350a and 1350b based on the length adjustment value and the angle adjustment value, thereby adjusting each length and each angle.
[0335] As each leg length increases, the length adjustment value and the angle adjustment value can be determined as a larger value. When each leg length is different, the length adjustment value for adjusting the first length and the length adjustment value for adjusting the second length can be different from each other, and the angle adjustment value for adjusting the first angle and the angle adjustment value for adjusting the second angle can be different from each other.
[0336] Specifically, the above-mentioned method for determining the length and angle adjustment values can be described as follows.
[0337] For example, the memory 1430 may store a leg length table and a leg angle table.
[0338] The leg length table may include a plurality of arbitrary leg lengths and a length adjustment value matching each arbitrary leg length. The leg angle table may include a plurality of arbitrary leg lengths and an angle adjustment value matching each arbitrary leg length. The leg length table and the leg angle table may be preset by various objects and stored in the memory 1430.
[0339] The control unit 1400 may obtain an arbitrary leg length corresponding to each leg length from among the plurality of arbitrary leg lengths in the leg length table and the leg angle table. In this case, the obtained arbitrary leg length may be the same as or similar to each leg length.
[0340] The control unit 1400 may extract a length adjustment value and an angle adjustment value matching the acquired arbitrary leg length, and determine the extracted length adjustment value and the extracted angle adjustment value as a length adjustment value for adjusting each length and an angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle.
[0341] For example, the length adjustment value that matches any leg length in the leg length table may be a plurality of length adjustment values.
[0342] The control section 1400 may extract a plurality of length adjustment values corresponding to each leg length from the leg length table.
[0343] The plurality of length adjustment values may include a maximum length adjustment value for adjusting each length to the maximum, a minimum length adjustment value for adjusting each length to the minimum, and an intermediate length adjustment value between the maximum length adjustment value and the minimum length adjustment value. The intermediate length adjustment value may be an average of the maximum and minimum length adjustment values or a value between the maximum and minimum length adjustment values.
[0344] The control part 1400 may determine at least one length adjustment value among the extracted plurality of length adjustment values as a length adjustment value for adjusting each length.
[0345] In other words, the length adjustment value for adjusting each length may be determined as at least one of a maximum length adjustment value, a minimum length adjustment value, and an intermediate length adjustment value.
[0346] The angle adjustment value that matches any leg length in the leg angle table can be multiple angle adjustment values.
[0347] The control unit 1400 may extract a plurality of angle adjustment values corresponding to each leg length from the leg angle table.
[0348] The plurality of angle adjustment values may include a maximum angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle to the maximum, a minimum angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle to the minimum, and an intermediate angle adjustment value between the maximum angle adjustment value and the minimum angle adjustment value. The intermediate angle adjustment value may be an average of the maximum and minimum angle adjustment values or a value between the maximum and minimum angle adjustment values.
[0349] The control part 1400 may determine at least one angle adjustment value among the extracted plurality of angle adjustment values as an angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle.
[0350] In other words, the angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle may be determined as at least one of a maximum angle adjustment value, a minimum angle adjustment value, and an intermediate angle adjustment value.
[0351] like Fig.26 As described above, when a defined cycle is repeated, the control unit 1400 may change the length adjustment value and the angle adjustment value for each preset number of repetitions of the cycle.
[0352] When the length adjustment value is any one of the maximum length adjustment value, the minimum length adjustment value and the intermediate length adjustment value, the control unit 1400 can change the length adjustment value to a length adjustment value different from any one of the maximum length adjustment value, the minimum length adjustment value and the intermediate length adjustment value.
[0353] When the angle adjustment value is any one of the maximum angle adjustment value, the minimum angle adjustment value and the intermediate angle adjustment value, the control unit 1400 can change the angle adjustment value to an angle adjustment value different from any one of the maximum angle adjustment value, the minimum angle adjustment value and the intermediate angle adjustment value.
[0354] The control unit 1400, as in action B, may inflate the first leg airbag 1710 before, while, or during the increase of the first length, when the second leg airbag 1730 is not inflated, so that the first length can be adjusted while fixing one leg of the user. At this time, the control unit 1400 may inflate at least one of the first calf airbag 1711 and the first foot airbag 1713. In other words, the control unit 1400 may inflate only the first leg airbag 1710 before, while, or during the increase of the first length.
[0355] Preferably, the control unit 1400 can inflate only the first foot airbag 1713 when the first calf airbag 1711 is not inflated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the control unit 1400 can inflate each airbag in various combinations, such as inflating the first foot airbag 1713 first and then inflating the first calf airbag 1711, or inflating the first calf airbag 1711 and the first foot airbag 1713 at the same time.
[0356] The control unit 1400, as in action D, may inflate the second leg airbag 1730 in a state where the first leg airbag 1710 is not inflated before increasing the reduced second length, while increasing the reduced second length, or during the process of increasing the reduced second length, so that the second length can be adjusted while fixing the other leg of the user. At this time, the control unit 1400 may inflate at least one of the second calf airbag 1731 and the second foot airbag 1733. In other words, the control unit 1400 may inflate only the second leg airbag 1730 before increasing the second length, while increasing the second length, or during the process of increasing the second length.
[0357] Preferably, the control unit 1400 can inflate only the second foot airbag 1733 when the second calf airbag 1731 is not inflated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the control unit 1400 can inflate each airbag in various combinations, such as first inflating the second foot airbag 1733 and then inflating the second calf airbag 1731, or inflating the second calf airbag 1731 and the second foot airbag 1733 at the same time.
[0358] Thus, when each length is increased, the control part 1400 can accurately exercise the user's legs by accurately pulling the user's legs. The control part 1400 inflates only the leg airbags corresponding to the increased leg massage part, thereby preventing unnecessary power waste on the airbags.
[0359] The control unit 1400 may drive at least one of the first foot massaging unit 2610 and the second foot massaging unit 2630 while adjusting each length and each angle. For example, the control unit 1400 may alternately provide foot massage to both sides of the user's feet by cross-driving the first foot massaging unit 2610 and the second foot massaging unit 2630.
[0360] Thus, the control unit 1400 can massage the user's feet and provide leg exercise guidance by cross-driving the first foot massage unit 2610 and the second foot massage unit 2630, thereby providing the user with a sense of psychological security, relieving the user's tension to prevent the user's leg injuries, and improving the exercise effect.
[0361] The control unit 1400 can inflate the back airbags of the leg massage part with increased length while adjusting each length. For example, the control unit 1400 can inflate the first back airbag 1613 when the first length increases (such as action B), and inflate the second back airbag 1633 when the second length increases (such as action D).
[0362] Thus, the control unit 1400 links each length adjustment action with the back airbag inflation action, pulling the user's legs tighter than when the back airbag is not inflated, thereby improving the user's leg exercise effect.
[0363] As described above, the length adjustment action of each length and the angle adjustment action of each angle are performed independently of each other, but are not limited thereto. For example, after a predetermined time has passed after starting the length adjustment action of each length, the control unit can perform the length adjustment action and the angle adjustment action of each angle together.
[0364] When the control unit 1400 starts each length adjustment action and a predetermined time has passed, when performing each angle adjustment action, the control unit 1400 may inflate the arm airbag corresponding to the leg massage part whose length is reduced when performing only each length adjustment action. For example, the control unit 1400 may inflate the second arm airbag when the second length is reduced (such as action B), and inflate the first arm airbag when the first length is reduced (such as action D).
[0365] Thus, the control unit 1400 links each length adjustment action with the arm airbag inflation action, and pulls the user's legs more safely than when the arm airbag is not inflated, thereby improving the user's leg exercise effect.
[0366] When each length adjustment action and each angle adjustment action are performed simultaneously, the control unit 1400 may deflate the back airbag and the arm airbag that are inflated in each length adjustment action.
[0367] In addition, the control unit 1400 may provide massage to the user through the massage module 1110 when performing each leg movement action. For example, the control unit 1400 may provide at least one of acupressure massage, kneading massage, slapping massage, and compound massage to at least a portion of the upper body and lower body of the user through the massage module 1110. The compound massage may be a combination of two or more of acupressure massage, kneading massage, and slapping massage.
[0368] Thus, the control unit 1400 assists the user's leg movement by massaging the user's body parts while exercising the user's legs, thereby effectively preventing leg injuries that occur during exercise by relaxing the user's body compared to a case where no massage is provided.
[0369] The above-mentioned technical concept of the present invention is described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but this is only an exemplary description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. In addition, those skilled in the art of the present invention should understand that various modifications and imitations can be made without departing from the technical concept of the present invention.
[0370] In addition, the structure and function of the massage device of this specification can be extended and applied to various (wearable) health care devices that can provide health care functions (e.g., massage function, biosignal measurement function, etc.). Therefore, the "massage device" in this specification can be replaced with "(wearable) health care device" for description.
