[0077] The massage device 1000 may include an air supply unit that supplies air to the airbag to expand the airbag. The air supply unit may be located inside the body massage part 1100 or the leg massage part 1300. In addition, the air supply unit may also be located outside the massage device 1000.

[0078] A massage module (not shown) may be provided inside the body massage part 1100 to provide any form of mechanical stimulation to the user accommodated in the body massage part 1100. The massage module may massage at least a portion of the user's body while moving along a main frame 1130 provided inside the body massage part 1100.

[0079] In addition, the upper portion of the body massaging part 1100 may be provided with an expandable head cover device 1500 that expands toward the front of the user's head and covers the face.

[0080] The expandable head cover device 1500 may include: an outer cover 1510, which is rotatably arranged on the upper part of the body massage part 1100 with a hinge shaft 1511 as the center; an outer cover driving unit, which makes the outer cover 1510 reciprocate around the hinge shaft 1511 as the center; a head cover 1520, which is arranged on the inner side of the outer cover 1510 in a folded state and can be expanded to the outside of the outer cover 1510 to cover the front part of the user's head; and a head cover driving unit, which makes the head cover 1520 rotate relative to the body massage part 1100.

[0081] The outer cover 1510 is made of a curved plate having a predetermined curvature, and one end is rotatably provided at the body massage part 1100. For example, one end of the outer cover 1510 may be rotatably provided at the upper rear surface of the body massage part 1100 in the front-rear direction with the hinge shaft 1511 as the center. The left-right width of the outer cover 1510 may be substantially similar to the left-right width of the body massage part 1100.

[0082] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the hinge shaft 1511 of the outer cover 1510 can be rotatably provided on the shaft mounting bracket 1515, and the shaft mounting bracket 1515 is provided at the rear of the main frame 1130 of the body massage part 1100.

[0083] When the head cover 1520 is unfolded and folded while the outer cover 1510 is rotated at a certain angle in the front-rear direction of the body massage part 1100 around the hinge shaft 1511 by the outer cover driving part, interference between the outer cover 1510 and the head cover 1520 can be eliminated. That is, the outer cover 1510 can be controlled to rotate toward the outside of the body massage part 1100 by the outer cover driving part before the head cover 1520 is moved by the head cover driving part, and to return to the initial position again by the outer cover driving part after the head cover 1520 is moved.

[0084] The outer cover driving part may include a first actuator 1540, one end of which is connected to the main frame 1130 of the body massage part 1100 and the other end of which is connected to the outer cover 1510. The telescopic rod 1542 of the first actuator 1540 can be extended or contracted in the front-rear direction by the pressure of a motor or a fluid to push or pull one end of the outer cover 1510 in the front-rear direction of the body massage part 1100, so that the outer cover 1510 rotates around the hinge shaft 1511.

[0085] One end of the first actuator 1540 is coupled to the side brackets 1530 provided at both sides of the main frame 1130 so that the first actuator 1540 and the side brackets 1530 can rotate relative to each other. The other end of the first actuator 1540 is coupled to the actuator coupling pieces 1512 protrudingly provided at both sides of one end of the outer cover 1510 so that the first actuator 1540 and the actuator coupling pieces 1512 can rotate relative to each other.

[0086] The head cover 1520 is configured to be movably provided on the upper part of the body massage part 1100, to be provided on the lower side of the outer cover 1510 in an overlapping state, and to be able to move to the outside of the outer cover 1510 and unfold to cover the front part of the user's head, that is, the face. For example, the head cover 1520 may be configured to be provided on the upper part of the body massage part 1100 in a manner that can be rotated and moved in the front and rear directions by the head cover driving part, and to be rotated forward from the upper part of the body massage part 1100 to unfold to the outside of the outer cover 1510, and to be rotated backward to be folded on the lower side of the outer cover 1510.

[0087] The hood 1520 can be configured as a single structure, but can also be configured to be divided into multiple parts so as to be able to be folded and unfolded in multiple stages. For example, the hood 1520 can be configured as two (as in this embodiment) or more than three. The hood 1520 can be coupled to the connecting rod unit 1560 that constitutes the hood driving part, and can be folded in multiple stages on the lower side of the outer cover 1510 or unfolded in multiple stages to the outside of the outer cover 1510 to cover the user's face. In order to facilitate the description of this embodiment, the state in which the hood 1520 is unfolded in front of the user's head is used as a reference, and the two hoods are referred to as the first hood 1521 and the second hood 1522 from the front to the back.

[0088] The first hood 1521 and the second hood 1522 can be made of a curved plate with a predetermined curved surface. The size of the first hood 1521 and the second hood 1522 can be formed to be able to significantly block the user's field of vision in the unfolded state, and there is almost no gap between the first hood 1521 and the second hood 1522 and do not interfere with each other during the unfolding and folding process. In addition, the size of the first hood 1521 and the second hood 1522 can be the same, but can also be formed to be different from each other. For example, the left and right widths of the first hood 1521 and the second hood 1522 are approximately the same, but the front and rear widths can be designed so that the first hood 1521 is larger than the second hood 1522. In addition, the left and right widths of the first hood 1521 and the second hood 1522 can be designed to be approximately the same as the left and right widths of the outer cover 1510.

[0089] The first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 may be designed to overlap up and down in a state of being folded inside the outer cover 1510, and to be connected to the outer cover 1510 on the same surface in a state of being unfolded toward the front of the user's head.

[0090] The first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 can be moved while being reciprocated in the front and rear directions from the upper part of the body massage part 1100 by the head cover driving part to be unfolded in front of the user's head or folded behind the head. The head cover driving part may include a second actuator 1550 connected to the body massage part 1100 at one end and a link unit 1560 that rotates the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 by the extension and contraction of the second actuator 1550.

[0091] The telescopic rod 1552 of the second actuator 1550 can be extended or contracted by a motor or the pressure of a fluid to provide a force to push or pull the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 in one direction of the body massage part 1100. For example, the second actuator 1550 can extend or retract the telescopic rod 1552 in the front-rear direction of the body massage part 1100 by a certain stroke through a motor operated by power applied by the control part of the massage device.

[0092] Two second actuators 1550 and two link units 1560 may be provided on both sides of the body massage part 1100. For example, one end of the second actuator 1550 may be connected to the side brackets 1530 provided on both sides of the main frame 1130 through the actuator hinge pin 1551 so that the second actuator 1550 and the side bracket 1530 can rotate relative to each other, and a link unit 1560 may be provided between each second actuator 1550 and the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 to convert and transmit the telescopic motion of the second actuator 1550 into the rotational motion of the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522.

[0093] Reference Figures 5 to 7DThe connecting rod unit 1560 is configured to be connected to the body massage part 1100, the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522 and the second actuator 1550, so as to play the role of rotating the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 in the forward and backward directions by unfolding and folding in the forward and backward directions when the telescopic rod 1552 of the second actuator 1550 is extended and retracted. For example, the link unit 1560 may include: a fixed link 1561 fixed to the body massage part 1100; a driving link 1562, one end of which is rotatably connected to the fixed link 1561 through a first hinge pin 1571, and the driving link 1562 is connected to the second actuator 1550 so as to rotate around the first hinge pin 1571 when the telescopic rod 1552 of the second actuator 1550 is telescoped; a first head cover link 1563 connecting the other end of the driving link 1562 and any one of the plurality of head covers 1521, 1522; and a second head cover link 1564, one end of which is connected to the plurality of head covers 1521, 1522. 21, another head cover in 1522; and linkage links 1565, 1566, 1567, one end of which is rotatably connected to the fixed link 1561 through a second hinge pin 1572 and the other end is connected to the second head cover link 1564 to enable the linkage links 1565, 1566, 1567 and the second head cover link 1564 to rotate relative to each other, and approximately the middle part is connected to the first head cover link 1563 to enable the linkage links 1565, 1566, 1567 and the first head cover link 1563 to rotate relative to each other, transmitting the movement of the first head cover link 1563 to the second head cover link 1564.

[0094] The fixing link 1561 may be fixed to one side of the main frame 1130 of the body massage part 1100. For example, the fixing link 1561 may be combined with and fixed to the side bracket 1530 provided at one side of the main frame 1130. A plurality of pin connection holes 1561a, 1561b to which the first hinge pin 1571 and the second hinge pin 1572 are respectively connected may be formed at the fixing link 1561 at certain intervals in the front-rear direction. And, a first stopper 1561c and a second stopper 1561d extending to the rear and the front, respectively, and limiting the rotation range of the driving link 1562 and the linkage links 1565, 1566, 1567 may be formed at the lower part of the plurality of pin connection holes 1561a, 1561b. The first stopper 1561c and the second stopper 1561d may be formed horizontally with respect to the ground, but may also be formed inclined at a certain angle with respect to a line horizontal to the ground.

[0095] The lower portion of the driving link 1562 is connected to one end of the second actuator 1550 so that it can rotate within a certain angle range around the first hinge pin 1571 as the telescopic rod 1552 of the second actuator 1550 is extended and retracted.

[0096] The first head cover link 1563 may connect one end of the driving link 1562 and the second head cover 1522. For example, the first head cover link 1563 may include: a plurality of head cover connecting parts 1563a, one end of which is connected to the lower part of the second head cover 1522 through a link pin 1575 so that the plurality of head cover connecting parts 1563a and the second head cover 1522 can rotate relative to each other; and a link connecting part 1563b, which is connected to the other end of the head cover connecting part 1563a, the driving link 1562, and the third linking link 1567 through link pins 1574 and 1577. The head cover connecting part 1563a and the link connecting part 1563b may be formed integrally and move together.

[0097] The linking links 1565, 1566, 1567 may include: a first linking link 1565 having one end rotatably connected to the fixed link 1561 via a second hinge pin 1572; a second linking link 1566 connecting the other end of the first linking link 1565 and one end of the second head cover link 1564; and a third linking link 1567 connecting one end of the first head cover link 1563 and one end of the second head cover link 1564. The second linking link 1566 may be connected to the link connecting portion 1563b of the first head cover link 1563 via a link pin 1576 so as to receive the rotational force of the driving link 1562 via the first head cover link 1563 and rotate.

[0098] When the telescopic rod 1552 of the second actuator 1550 extends or contracts to cause the connecting rod unit 1560 to unfold or fold, the driving link 1562 and the second connecting link 1566 can limit the rotation range while contacting the first stop portion 1561c and the second stop portion 1561d of the fixed link 1561 when the telescopic rod 1552 of the second actuator 1550 is in the longest and shortest states respectively.

[0099] The expandable head cover device 1500 for a massage device having such a structure can operate as follows.

[0100] like Fig. 7A As shown, initially, the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 are on standby in a state of being folded under the outer cover 1510 at the upper end of the body massage part 1100 .

[0101] When the control unit (not shown) of the massage device applies power to the first actuator 1540 to unfold the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 forward, the telescopic rod 1542 of the first actuator 1540 extends. Therefore, the outer cover 1510 rotates backward around the hinge shaft 1511 to increase the interval between the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522, and a space is formed between the outer cover 1510 and the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522.

[0102] Furthermore, the control unit (not shown) of the massage device applies power to the second actuator 1550 to extend the telescopic rod 1552. When the telescopic rod 1552 of the second actuator 1550 extends, Figure 7B and Figure 7C As shown, the driving link 1562 rotates in one direction (for example, counterclockwise in the drawing) with the first hinge pin 1571 at one end as the center, and the first head cover link 1563 connected to the driving link 1562 rotates. At this time, the second link link 1566 and the third link link 1567 connected to the link connecting portion 1563b of the first head cover link 1563, and the first link link 1565 rotate, and the second head cover link 1564 linked with the second link link 1566 and the third link link 1567 also rotates, so that the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 are unfolded while rotating forward together.

[0103] When the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 are fully deployed forward, the first head cover 1521 can almost completely cover the front of the user's head, that is, the face, or cover a part of the face to block the field of vision.

[0104] When the first hood 1521 and the second hood 1522 are fully deployed forward, power is applied again to make the first actuator 1540 work in the opposite manner to before, so that the telescopic rod 1542 of the first actuator 1540 contracts, and Fig.7D As shown, the outer cover 1510 rotates in the opposite direction to the previous direction, for example, rotates to the front of the massage device to close. At this time, one end of the outer cover 1510 is slightly spaced apart from or contacts with one end of the second head cover 1522 to form the same surface.

[0105] In the case where one end of the outer cover 1510 contacts one end of the second head cover 1522, in order to reduce the impact, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a buffer material 1570 made of an elastic material such as rubber or silicone that absorbs shock may be disposed between one end of the outer cover 1510 and one end of the second head cover 1522 .

[0106] For example, the buffer material 1570 may be coupled to one end of the second head cover 1522. In order to easily couple the buffer material 1570 to the second head cover 1522, a hook portion 1572 may be formed on the buffer material 1570 to protrude downward in a "↓" shape, and a plurality of hook coupling holes 1524 may be arranged at one end of the second head cover 1522 to which the hook portion 1572 is elastically coupled after being inserted.

[0107] In addition, in order to provide the user with massage action control images, video content, etc. through the first head cover 1521 when the first head cover 1521 covers the user's face, a display unit (not shown) can be provided on the inner side surface (the surface facing the user's face) of the first head cover 1521 corresponding to the user's face among the multiple head covers 1520.

[0108] The display unit (not shown) can provide functions such as an input window for controlling the working information of the massage device or various massage modes and various operations of the massage device, a remote control, various image outputs, the Internet, television, online content, a PC or a mobile communication terminal (mobile phone, etc.), and other user devices.

[0109] The display unit can adopt various display elements such as LCD, LED, OLED, etc., and can adopt a touch screen.

[0110] If the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 deployed toward the user's face are to be folded toward the lower side of the outer cover 1510 and opened again, the first actuator 1540 and the second actuator 1550 may be operated in the reverse order to the previous operation.

[0111] That is, Figure 7C As shown in FIG. 1 , when the telescopic rod 1542 of the first actuator 1540 is extended to rotate the outer cover 1510 backward, and then the telescopic rod 1552 of the second actuator 1550 is retracted, the driving link 1562 is pulled backward and rotates in the opposite direction to the previous direction around the first hinge pin 1571, and as shown in FIG. Figure 7B As shown, the link unit 1560 is folded while rotating backward. At this time, the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 coupled to the link unit 1560 are also folded together.

[0112] Next, the telescopic rod 1542 of the first actuator 1540 contracts, and the outer cover 1510 rotates forward around the hinge shaft 1511 to return to the initial position, thereby covering and hiding the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 .

[0113] As described above, the plurality of head covers 1520 of the deployable head cover device 1500 are arranged inside the outer cover 1510 in a folded state, and then deployed outside the outer cover 1510 while rotating forward when necessary, so as to cover the user's face and block the field of vision.

[0114] Therefore, when the unfoldable head cover device 1500 is not used, the head cover 1520 does not become an obstruction factor when the user sits on or leaves the massage device.

[0115] Furthermore, since the head cover 1520 can be automatically unfolded and folded by the operation of the second actuator 1550, convenience can also be improved.

[0116] 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.
