[0086] The outer cover roller 1515 may be rotatably disposed at the other end of the outer cover 1510 , and the outer cover roller 1515 elastically contacts the link unit 1560 of the head cover driving part and rolls along the link unit 1560 .

[0087] 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.

[0088] The hood 1520 may be configured as a single structure, but may also be configured to be divided into a plurality of parts so as to be able to be folded and unfolded in multiple stages. For example, the hood 1520 may be configured as two or three parts as in this embodiment, and coupled to the connecting rod unit 1560 constituting the hood driving part, and 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 so as to be able to cover the user's face. For the convenience of explaining 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 three hoods are sequentially referred to as the first hood 1521, the second hood 1522, and the third hood 1523 from the front to the back for explanation.

[0089] The first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522 and the third head cover 1523 can be made of a curved plate with a predetermined curved surface. The size of the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522 and the third head cover 1523 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 each head cover 1520 and the size does not interfere with each other during the unfolding and folding process. In addition, the sizes of the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522 and the third head cover 1523 can all be the same, but can also be formed to be different from each other. For example, a plurality of head covers can be designed so that the left and right width of the head cover arranged at the rear of the body massage part is smaller than the left and right width of the head cover arranged at the front. In this embodiment, the left and right width of the first head cover 1521 is the largest so that the user's field of vision can be significantly blocked in the unfolded state, and the second head cover 1522 and the third head cover 1523 can be formed to be relatively smaller than the left and right width of the first head cover 1521 so that the connecting rod unit 1560 constituting the head cover driving part can be hidden from the outside. At this time, the third head cover 1523 may be formed to be relatively smaller than the left-right width of the second head cover 1522 .

[0090] The first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522, and the third head cover 1523 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 an actuator 1550 connected to the body massage part 1100 at one end, and a link unit 1560 that rotates the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522, and the third head cover 1523 by the extension and contraction of the actuator 1550.

[0091] The telescopic rod 1552 of the actuator 1550 can be extended or contracted by the pressure of a motor or fluid to provide a force to push or pull the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522 and the third head cover 1523 in one direction of the body massage part. For example, the actuator 1550 can extend or retract the telescopic rod 1552 by a certain stroke through a motor operated by power applied by the control part of the massage device.

[0092] One end of the actuator 1550 is equipped with an actuator hinge pin 1551, which can penetrate an actuator link 1561 constituting a link unit 1560 to be connected to the main frame 1130 of the body massage part 1100. And, the other end of the actuator 1550 is connected to the link unit 1560 to operate the link unit 1560.

[0093] Reference FIG. 5A to FIG. 8The 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, the third head cover 1523 and the actuator 1550, so as to rotate the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522 and the third head cover 1523 in the forward and backward directions by unfolding and folding in the forward and backward directions when the telescopic rod 1552 of the actuator 1550 is extended and retracted. For example, the link unit 1560 may include: an actuator link 1561, one end of which is connected to the actuator 1550 and the actuator hinge pin 1551 of the body massage part 1100, which penetrates and is connected to the actuator link 1561; an operating link 1562, one end of which is connected to one end of the actuator link 1561 through a link pin 1571 so that the operating link 1562 and the actuator link 1561 can rotate relative to each other, and is connected to the other end of the actuator 1550 so that when the telescopic rod 1552 of the actuator is extended or retracted, the operating link 1562 rotates around the link pin 1571 as the center; a first head cover link 1563, one end of which is connected to the other end of the operating link 1562 through a link pin 1572 so that the first head cover link 1563 and the operating link 1562 can rotate relative to each other; a first linkage link 1565, one end of which is connected to the actuator link 1561 through a link pin 1573 The other end of the first linkage link 1565 is connected to the actuator link 1561 so that the first linkage link 1565 and the actuator link 1561 can rotate relative to each other, and the first linkage link 1565 is connected to the first head cover link 1563 through the linkage pin 1574 so that the first linkage link 1565 and the first head cover link 1563 can rotate relative to each other; the second head cover link 1564, one end of which is connected to the other end of the first linkage link 1565 through the linkage pin 1575 so that the second head cover link 1564 and the first linkage link 1565 can rotate relative to each other; and the second linkage link 1566 is connected to the first head cover link 1563 and the second head cover link 1564 through the linkage pin 1576 and the linkage pin 1577 so that the second linkage link 1566 and the first head cover link 1563 and the second head cover link 1564 can rotate relative to each other, thereby transmitting the movement of the first head cover link 1563 to the second head cover link 1564.

[0094] The actuator link 1561 may be formed into a generally "L" shape, such as Figure 7As shown, an actuator coupling portion 1561a may be formed protrudingly on one side, and an actuator hinge pin 1551 of the actuator 1550 penetrates and is coupled to the actuator coupling portion 1561a. Preferably, the position where the actuator hinge pin 1551 is coupled to the actuator link 1561 is within a predetermined angle θ range relative to a horizontal line passing through a connection point of the telescopic rod 1552 of the actuator 1550 and one end of the operating link 1562, so as to prevent the reverse rotation of the operating link 1562. If the position of the actuator hinge pin 1551 exceeds the angle θ range set relative to a horizontal line passing through a connection point of the telescopic rod 1552 and the operating link 1562, when the telescopic rod 1552 of the actuator 1550 is extended and the operating link 1562 is rotated around the link pin 1571, reverse rotation occurs within a certain range, which may apply excessive force to the actuator 1550 and the link unit 1560 or generate noise or vibration. This angle θ can be determined based on the stroke of the telescopic rod 1552 of the actuator 1550, the distance and angle between the connection point between the telescopic rod 1552 of the actuator 1550 and one end of the operating link 1562 and the link pin 1571, etc.

[0095] Refer again FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C as well as FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C One end of the operating link 1562 is connected to one end of the actuator link 1561 through the link pin 1571 so that the operating link 1562 and the actuator link 1561 can rotate relative to each other, and the other end is connected to the first head cover link 1563 through the link pin 1572 so that the operating link 1562 and the first head cover link 1563 can rotate relative to each other. When the operating link 1562 rotates around the link pin 1571 through the actuator 1550, the other end of the operating link 1562 elastically contacts the lower surface of the outer cover 1510 and moves. At this time, a first link roller 1581 that rolls along the lower surface of the outer cover 1510 may be provided at the other end of the operating link 1562, so that the other end of the operating link 1562 contacts the lower surface of the outer cover 1510 and moves gently and smoothly.

[0096] In addition, a second link roller 1582 that rolls along the lower surface of the outer cover 1510 may also be provided at one end of the operating link 1562 connected to the actuator link 1561 .

[0097] Any one of a plurality of head covers may be coupled to one side of the operating link 1562. For example, the third head cover 1523 is coupled to the operating link 1562 so that the third head cover 1523 can move together with the operating link 1562.

[0098] The first head cover link 1563 may be coupled to any one of the plurality of head covers. For example, the first head cover link 1563 may be coupled to the lower portion of the second head cover 1522 by a fastening unit such as a pin to move together with the second head cover 1522.

[0099] The second head cover link 1564 may be coupled to another of the plurality of head covers. For example, the second head cover link 1564 may be coupled to the lower portion of the first head cover 1521 by a fastening unit such as a pin to move together with the first head cover 1521.

[0100] One end of the first linking link 1565 may be connected to the other end of the actuator link 1561 through a link pin 1573 so that the first linking link 1565 and the actuator link 1561 can rotate relative to each other, and the other end of the first linking link 1565 may be connected to one end of the second head cover link 1564 through a link pin 1575 so that the first linking link 1565 and the second head cover link 1564 can rotate relative to each other. In addition, the first linking link 1565 may be connected to the first head cover link 1563 through a link pin 1574 so that the first linking link 1565 and the first head cover link 1563 can rotate relative to each other, and rotates by receiving a force from the first head cover link 1563.

[0101] One end of the second linkage link 1566 is connected to the first head cover link 1563 through a linkage pin 1576 and the other end is connected to the second head cover link 1564 through a linkage pin 1577. The second linkage link 1566, together with the first linkage link 1565, transmits the movement of the first head cover link 1563 to the second head cover link 1564, so as to move the first head cover 1521 and the second head cover 1522 together.

[0102] like Figure 8 As shown, when the link unit 1560 performs an unfolding or folding action, the first link 1565 and the second link 1565 may contact each other when the telescopic rod 1552 of the actuator 1550 is in the longest and shortest states to function as a stopper.

[0103] The actuator 1550 and the link unit 1560 constituting the head cover driving part are symmetrically provided on both sides of the body massaging part 1100 so as to be coupled to both side ends of the first head cover 1521 , the second head cover 1522 , and the third head cover 1523 .

[0104] The expandable head cover device 1500 for a massage device constituted by such a configuration can operate as follows.

[0105] like Fig.9AAs shown, initially, the first head cover 1521 , the second head cover 1522 , and the third head cover 1523 are folded under the outer cover 1510 at the upper end of the body massage part 1100 and stand by.

[0106] When the control unit (not shown) applies power to the actuator 1550 to unfold the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522, and the third head cover 1523 forward, the telescopic rod 1552 of the actuator 1550 begins to extend. FIG. 9B to FIG. 9E As shown, the operating link 1562 is connected to a link pin 1571 (see Figure 6B ) as the center in one direction (for example, toward the upper side of the body massage part), and rotates together with the first head cover link 1563 connected to the operating link 1562. At this time, the first linkage link 1565, the second linkage link 1566, and the actuator link 1561 connected to the first head cover link 1563 rotate, and the second head cover link 1564 also moves, so that the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522, and the third head cover 1523 are unfolded while rotating forward together.

[0107] As described above, when the actuator link 1561, the first head cover link 1563, the first linkage link 1565, the second linkage link 1566, and the second head cover link 1564 are rotated forward together and deployed by the rotation of the operating link 1562, the first link roller 1581 coupled to the other end of the operating link 1562 rolls along the lower surface of the outer cover 1510 and moves smoothly. And, from the moment when the first link roller 1581 leaves the outer cover 1510, the outer cover roller 1515 provided at one end of the outer cover 1510 rolls along the operating link 1562 (refer to Fig. 9C and Fig.9D When the deployment is almost complete, the second link roller 1582 at one end of the operating link 1562 contacts the lower surface of the outer cover 1510 and rolls.

[0108] When the link unit 1560, i.e., the actuator link 1561, the operating link 1562, the first head cover link 1563, the first linkage link 1565, the second linkage link 1566 and the second head cover link 1564, rotates and unfolds forward, the outer cover 1510 is elastically supported by the torsion spring 1542 of the elastic member 1540, so that the outer cover 1510 naturally rotates backward around the hinge shaft 1511 as the center, and then rotates forward as the link unit 1560 unfolds.

[0109] When the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522 and the third head cover 1523 are fully deployed forward, the first head cover 1521 can block the field of view by almost completely covering the front part of the user's head, that is, the face, or covering a part of the face. 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.

[0110] 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.

[0111] The display unit can use various display elements such as LCD, LED, OLED, etc., and can also use a touch screen.

[0112] If the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522 and the third head cover 1523 deployed to the user's face are to be folded and opened again to the lower side of the outer cover 1510, the actuator 1550 and the link unit 1560 can be operated in the reverse order to the previous one.

[0113] That is, when the telescopic rod 1552 of the actuator 1550 is retracted, one end of the operating link 1562 is pulled and rotated in the opposite direction to the previous direction around the link pin 1571, and the link unit 1560 is folded while rotating backward. Since the second link roller 1582 provided at one end of the operating link 1562 is connected to the lower surface of the outer cover 1510 when the first head cover 1521, the second head cover 1522 and the third head cover 1523 are fully deployed forward, the second link roller 1582 rolls along the lower surface of the outer cover 1510 at the initial stage of the folding operation, so that the operating link 1562 can be rotated gently and smoothly.

[0114] When the first head cover 1521 , the second head cover 1522 , and the third head cover 1523 are folded together and rotated to the lower side of the outer cover 1510 while the link unit 1560 is folded, the outer cover 1510 is opened and closed by naturally rotating backward and forward around the hinge shaft 1511 .

[0115] 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.

[0116] 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.

[0117] Furthermore, since the head cover 1520 is automatically unfolded and folded by the operation of the actuator 1550, convenience can also be improved.

[0118] On the other hand, the length of the outer cover 1510 in the front-rear direction can be designed through various adjustments.

[0119] For example, Fig.9E As shown in FIG. 1 , when the first hood 1521, the second hood 1522, and the third hood 1523 are fully deployed forward, the length of the front portion of the outer cover 1510 may be a length that can cover a portion or all of the upper area of ​​the third hood 1523. Fig.10 As shown, when the first hood 1521, the second hood 1522 and the third hood 1523 are fully deployed forward, the length of the front portion of the outer cover 1510 can also be a length that connects the front end of the outer cover 1510 to one end of the operating link 1562 of the link unit 1560 and to the rear end of the third hood 1523.

[0120] If the length of the outer cover 1510 is less than this length, when the first hood 1521, the second hood 1522 and the third hood 1523 are fully unfolded forward, a gap is generated between the rear end of the third hood 1523 and the front end of the outer cover 1510, so that the connecting rod unit 1560 is exposed to the outside, etc., which detracts from the aesthetic appearance, and when the hood 1520 is folded on the lower side of the outer cover 1510, the hood 1520 may not be completely covered and a portion may be exposed to the outside.

[0121] 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.
