[0126] Figure 4 Is a diagram showing a breakdown Figure 1 Of a part of the massage device 100, Figure 5 Is a diagram schematically showing the massage device 100 of an embodiment of the present invention before and after posture adjustment, Figure 6 Is an enlarged Figure 4 Of part X of the diagram.

[0127] Refer to Figures 4 to 6 , According to an embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 may include a body massage part 1000 and an arm massage part 3000.

[0128] The body massage part 1000 can provide massage to the user's body.

[0129] The body massage part 1000 may include an upper body accommodation part 1000a and a seat part 1000b.

[0130] A space for accommodating the user's upper body is provided in the upper body accommodation part 1000a, so as to be able to support the user's body.

[0131] The seat part 1000b is a part connected to the upper body accommodation part 1000a and can accommodate the user's lower body. The lower body can be the user's buttocks and thighs. For example, the seat part 1000b can be a part for the user to sit by supporting at least a part of the user's buttocks and thighs.

[0132] As an embodiment, the upper body accommodation part 1000a and the seat part 1000b are formed as one body, and at least a part thereof is bent, so that it can be divided into a part for accommodating the upper body of the user and a part on which the user can sit.

[0133] As another embodiment, the upper body accommodation part 1000a and the seat part 1000b can be independent structures from each other and can be combined in the assembly step of the massage device 100.

[0134] As described above, the body massage part 1000 may include a frame part 1100 that forms the skeleton of the massage device 100.

[0135] The frame part 1100 may include a main body frame 1100a and a base frame 1130.

[0136] As an embodiment, the main body frame 1100a may include: a backrest frame 1110 that forms the skeleton of the upper body accommodation part 1000a; and a seat frame 1120 that forms the skeleton of the seat part 1000b.

[0137] The backrest frame 1110 may be formed to extend along the length direction of the upper body of the user.

[0138] The seat frame 1120 may be formed for the user to sit on and may be arranged to be connected to one side of the backrest frame 1110.

[0139] The base frame 1130 may be disposed on the lower side of the main body frame 1100a.

[0140] For example, the base frame 1130 may be arranged to be connected to the seat frame 1120. Specifically, the base frame 1130 may be disposed on the lower side of the seat frame 1120.

[0141] The backrest frame 1110 may be rotatably connected to the base frame 1130 and / or the seat frame 1120. Therefore, the backrest frame 1110 can be switched to enable the massage device 100 to achieve a sitting position and a lying position.

[0142] Refer to Figure 5 As described, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the body massage part 1000 of the massage device 100 can rotate. Therefore, the body massage part 1000 can be switched to enable the massage device 100 to achieve a sitting position and a lying position.

[0143] Thus, the user sitting on the massage device 100 can receive massage in a sitting state and / or a lying state.

[0144] As an embodiment, the seat frame 1120 may be connected to the base frame 1130, specifically, by a pin connection.

[0145] Accordingly, the seat frame 1120 can rotate with respect to the base frame 1130.

[0146] For example, when the massage device 100 assumes a lying position, the seat frame 1120 is adjusted by rotating a predetermined angle so that the user can lie more comfortably on the massage device 100.

[0147] To this end, a seat frame drive module for moving the seat frame 1120 can be disposed between the seat frame 1120 and the base frame 1130.

[0148] For example, one end of the seat frame drive module can be connected to the lower front end of the seat frame 1120, and the other end can be connected to the base upper frame 1131, but is not limited thereto.

[0149] The seat frame drive module can rotate and move the seat frame 1120. As an example, the seat frame drive module can include a seat frame actuator. Accordingly, when the seat frame actuator linearly expands and contracts, the seat frame 1120 can rotate, so that the massage device 100 can provide a more comfortable posture to the user.

[0150] The posture switching of the massage device 100 will be described in detail later.

[0151] Refer to Figure 6 , coupling portions 1110a for fastening a link unit 3300 of an arm massage unit 3000 to be described later and fastening members 1110b for connecting the backrest frame 1110 and the seat frame 1120 can be formed on both side surfaces of the upper body accommodation portion 1000a.

[0152] As an embodiment, the backrest frame 1110 and the seat frame 1120 can be pin-connected by the fastening member 1110b. When the upper body accommodation portion 1000a rotates, the portion connected by the fastening member 1110b can function as a rotation axis in relation to the seat portion 1000b. That is, the upper body accommodation portion 1000a rotates about the portion connected by the fastening member 1110b. Accordingly, the upper body accommodation portion 1000a and the seat portion 1000b can rotate only without a change in the relative distance, and power can be transmitted to the link unit 3300 connected to the coupling portion 1110a.

[0153] The rotation of the upper body accommodation portion 1000a will be described in detail later.

[0154] Figure 7 represents Figure 4 the base frame 1130 of Figure 8 is a view showing Figure 7 the sliding unit 1133 of

[0155] The base frame 1130 may include an upper base frame 1131, a lower base frame 1132, and a sliding unit 1133.

[0156] The upper base frame 1131 may be slidably movable back and forth with respect to the lower base frame 1132.

[0157] That is, when the body massage unit 1000 rotates to enable the massage unit to assume a lying position, the upper base frame 1131 may slide forward with respect to the lower base frame 1132.

[0158] Accordingly, since when the massage device 100 switches to a lying state, the upper base frame 1131, the body accommodation part 1000a, and the seat part 1000b move forward as a whole and then rotate, the space that should be ensured at the rear of the massage device 100 may become relatively smaller.

[0159] For example, when the body massage unit 1000 rotates in a state where the upper base frame 1131 does not move forward, the head part of the body massage unit 1000 moves backward, so more space is required at the rear of the massage device 100. Therefore, when the massage device 100 is arranged adjacent to the wall surface of a specific space, the head part of the body massage unit 1000 contacts the wall, so the massage device 100 needs to be arranged relatively farther away from the wall to prevent the head part of the body massage unit 1000 from contacting the wall.

[0160] Ultimately, if the upper base frame 1131 moves forward, the body massage unit 1000 rotates after moving forward a predetermined distance as a whole, so it has the effect of reducing the rear space required for the rotation of the body massage unit 1000.

[0161] As an embodiment, the massage device 100 may include a base frame driving module for moving the upper base frame 1131. For example, the base frame driving module may be disposed between the upper base frame 1131 and the lower base frame 1132.

[0162] The base frame driving module may move the upper base frame 1131 back and forth. As an example, as described above, the base frame driving module may include a sliding actuator. Accordingly, the sliding actuator may transmit power to the upper base frame 1131 through linear expansion and contraction, so that the upper base frame 1131 may move back and forth.

[0163] For example, one end of the base frame driving module may be connected to the upper base frame 1131 and the other end may be connected to the lower base frame 1132, but it is not limited thereto.

[0164] As an embodiment, the sliding unit 1133 may include a sliding rod 1133a, a slide rail 1133b, and a pulley 1133c.

[0165] The sliding unit 1133 can be disposed between the upper base frame 1131 and the lower base frame 1132.

[0166] The sliding unit 1133 can guide the movement of the upper base frame 1131.

[0167] As an alternative embodiment, a sliding rod 1133a can be connected to the upper base frame 1131. A slide rail 1133b can be connected to the lower base frame 1132. A pulley 1133c can be disposed inside the slide rail 1133b.

[0168] A space can be provided along the length inside the slide rail 1133b, and the sliding rod 1133a can be disposed inside the slide rail 1133b and move along the slide rail 1133b.

[0169] That is, when the upper base frame 1131 moves, the sliding rod 1133a can guide the path by moving along the space provided in the slide rail 1133b.

[0170] The pulley 1133c is rotatably disposed inside the slide rail 1133b, and the sliding rod 1133a can easily slide inside the slide rail 1133b.

[0171] However, conversely, it should be obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present utility model pertains that the sliding rod 1133a can also be connected to the lower base frame 1132, and the slide rail 1133b can be connected to the upper base frame 1131.

[0172] Figure 9 is for explaining Figure 4 the movement of the arm massage unit 3000 Figure 10 is Figure 4 an exploded perspective view of the arm massage unit 3000. Figure 11 is a diagram schematically showing the upper arm massage unit 3000a viewed from below Figure 10 Figure 12 is a diagram showing in detail Figure 10 the connection unit 3200. Figure 13 is a diagram showing Figure 10 the link unit 3300. Figure 14 is Figure 13 an exploded perspective view of the link unit 3300. Figure 15 is an enlarged view Figure 4 of the X' part.

[0173] Referring to Figures 9 to 15 the arm massage unit 3000 may include an upper arm massage unit 3000a and a lower arm massage unit 3000b.

[0174] ​In the upper arm massage unit 3000a, an arm receiving unit 3100 for inserting a user's arm can be formed (see Figure 4 ). For example, the upper arm massage unit 3000a receives the user's arms respectively and can provide massage to the user's arms.

[0175] At least one airbag is arranged in the arm receiving unit 3100, so that the inserted user's arm can be fixed or massage can be provided to the user's arm.

[0176] As an embodiment, the upper arm massage unit 3000a can move relative to the lower arm massage unit 3000b.

[0177] As a specific embodiment, the lower arm massage unit 3000b can be arranged on the base frame 1130, and the upper arm massage unit 3000a can be connected to the lower arm massage unit 3000b in a manner of moving relative to the lower arm massage unit 3000b.

[0178] The upper arm massage unit 3000a can be switched between a first position corresponding to a sitting state and a second position corresponding to a lying posture. The first position can be the position where the upper arm massage unit 3000a is located when the massage device 100 is in a sitting state. The second position can be the position where the upper arm massage unit 3000a is located when the massage device 100 is in a lying state.

[0179] Specifically, referring again to Figure 5 , when the upper body receiving unit 1000a rotates backward to achieve the lying posture of the massage device 100, due to the human body structure, the part for receiving the user's arm needs to move backward together.

[0180] Therefore, when the massage device 100 is in a sitting state, as shown in the left figure of Figure 5 , the upper arm massage unit 3000a can be arranged in the first position. In addition, when the massage device 100 is in a lying state, as shown in the right figure of Figure 5 , the lower arm massage unit 3000b can be arranged in the second position.

[0181] The arm massage unit 3000 may further include a connection unit 3200. The connection unit 3200 can connect the upper arm massage unit 3000a and the lower arm massage unit 3000b.

[0182] As a specific embodiment, the connection unit 3200 may include an upper frame forming the skeleton of the upper arm massage unit 3000a and a lower frame forming the skeleton of the lower arm massage unit 3000b.

[0183] The arm massage unit 3000 may further include a link unit 3300.

[0184] The link unit 3300 is disposed between the body massage unit 1000 and the upper arm massage unit 3000a. When the backrest frame 1110 switches to the lying position or the backrest frame 1110 switches to the sitting position, the upper arm massage unit 3000a can move relative to the lower arm massage unit 3000b.

[0185] Specifically, the link unit 3300 can be arranged to connect the upper frame and the lower frame. That is, the link unit 3300 transmits the force generated by the rotation of the body massage unit 1000 to the upper frame and moves the upper frame, so as to perform the function of pulling the upper arm massage unit 3000a to the first position or the second position.

[0186] As an alternative embodiment, the upper arm massage unit 3000a can move from the first position to the second position in a manner of tilting and moving with reference to the lower arm massage unit 3000b. In addition, the upper arm massage unit 3000a can move from the second position to the first position in a manner of tilting and moving upward with reference to the lower arm massage unit 3000b.

[0187] That is, when the upper body accommodation unit 1000a tilts backward to achieve the lying position, the user's upper body also tilts backward together, and compared with the sitting state, the user's arms naturally drop toward the ground direction. Therefore, if the upper arm massage unit 3000a simply moves backward only when the upper body accommodation unit 1000a tilts backward to achieve the lying position, the user's arms will instead be lifted upward in the lying state, so the user may feel discomfort or get injured.

[0188] For this reason, when switching between the first position and the second position, the upper arm massage unit 3000a can move in a tilted manner.

[0189] As an alternative embodiment, the lower arm massage unit 3000b and the upper arm massage unit 3000a can be slidably connected.

[0190] Therefore, as Figure 9 shown, when the upper body accommodation unit 1000a rotates, the upper arm massage unit 3000a can slide obliquely along the lower arm massage unit 3000b, so as to move safely while accommodating the user's arms.

[0191] As an alternative embodiment, the arm massage unit 3000 may further include a guiding unit that prevents the lower arm massage unit 3000b and the upper arm massage unit 3000a from separating from each other and disengaging.

[0192] Specifically, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11, the guiding unit includes a guiding member 3210 provided in the upper arm massage unit 3000a or the lower arm massage unit 3000b. In other arm massage units 3000 without the guiding member 3210, a guiding groove 3010a for guiding the path of the guiding member 3210 can be formed. In the drawings, it is shown that the guiding groove 3010a is formed on the lower surface of the upper arm massage unit 3000a, and the guiding member 3210 is arranged in the lower arm massage unit 3000b. On the contrary, the guiding groove 3010a can be formed on the upper surface of the lower arm massage unit 3000b, and the guiding member 3210 can be arranged in the upper arm massage unit 3000a.

[0193] The guiding groove 3010a can be formed in the shape of a groove on the lower surface of the upper arm massage unit 3000a to have a length along the moving path of the upper arm massage unit 3000a. The guiding member 3210 can be generally formed in a block shape to be clamped in the guiding groove 3010a.

[0194] Therefore, when the upper arm massage unit 3000a slides along the lower arm massage unit 3000b, since the guiding block moves together in a state of being inserted into the inside of the guiding groove 3010a, the moving path of the upper arm massage unit 3000a can be guided.

[0195] Refer to Figures 12 to 15 , a specific embodiment of the link unit 3300 will be described in detail.

[0196] The link unit 3300 may include at least one link member. The link member can be formed to extend in a lengthwise manner and can have a generally rod shape. However, the link member can be formed with at least a part thereof being bent.

[0197] The link member can be a component that transmits the power for pulling the upper arm massage unit 3000a to the upper arm massage unit 3000a according to the rotation of the body massage unit 1000.

[0198] Specifically, the link member can be connected to the arm massage unit 3000, the upper arm massage unit 3000a, and the lower arm massage unit, and can rotate together and pull the upper arm massage unit 3000a according to the rotation of the body massage unit 1000.

[0199] As an embodiment, the link unit 3300 may include a first link member 3310, a second link member 3320, and a third link member 3330.

[0200] The first link member 3310 can, according to the rotation of the body massage unit 1000, move towards Figure 12The curved arrow direction or the direction opposite thereto rotates together with the body massage unit 1000 while transmitting the power for moving the upper arm massage unit 3000a. First connection ends and second connection ends may be formed at both ends of the first link member 3310. The first connection end, as one end of the first link member 3310, may be connected to the upper arm massage unit 3000a. The second connection end, as the other end of the first link member 3310, may be connected to the body massage unit 1000. Accordingly, as the body massage unit 1000 rotates, the first link member 3310 may rotate together. Thus, the upper arm massage unit 3000a connected to the first connection end may be pulled in Figure 12 the direction of the linear arrow or the direction opposite thereto.

[0201] The first link member 3310 may be connected to the lower arm massage unit 3000b at a position between the first connection end and the second connection end. Specifically, the first link member 3310 may be connected to the lower arm massage unit 3000b, and preferably, may be pin-connected to the lower arm massage unit 3000b through a connection pin 3390.

[0202] The portion to which the connection pin 3390 is connected is the portion that becomes the rotation axis of the first link member 3310. Thus, when the rotational force of the body massage unit 1000 is transmitted to the second connection end, the first link member 3310 may rotate about the connection pin 3390. Thus, as the first link member 3310 rotates, the upper arm massage unit 3000a connected to the first connection end may be pulled along Figure 12 the direction of the linear arrow to correspond to the rotational direction of the Figure 12 curved arrow direction of the body massage unit 1000.

[0203] The second link member 3320 may be a member connected to the second connection end of the first link member 3310 and the body massage unit 1000. Specifically, the second connection end of the first link member 3310 may be connected to the body massage unit 1000 through the second link member 3320, and specifically, may be connected to the upper body accommodating portion 1000a of the body massage unit 1000.

[0204] As an alternative embodiment, one end of the second link member 3320 may be connected to the second connection end of the first link member 3310, and a fastening portion 3350 may be formed at the other end, and the fastening portion 3350 may be fastened to the engaging portion 1110a of the upper body accommodating portion 1000a.

[0205] For example, the joint portion 1110a between one end of the second link member 3320 and the upper body accommodating portion 1000a can be pin - connected by a pin P. Additionally, a groove 3001 can be provided in the arm massage portion 3000. The groove 3001 is used to guide the movement path of the pin P connecting the second link member 3320 and the upper body accommodating portion 1000a. Specifically, the groove 3001 can be formed on the surface of the arm massage portion 3000 opposite to the upper body accommodating portion 1000a. Therefore, when the upper body accommodating portion 1000a rotates, one end of the second link member 3320 connected to the joint portion 1110a can move along the groove 3001 formed in the arm massage portion 3000 together with the pin P, and the transmitted power can cause the first link member 3310 to rotate. That is, the second connection end of the first link member 3310 is connected to the upper body accommodating portion 1000a of the body massage portion 1000 through the second link member 3320, so that rotational power can be received from the body massage portion 1000.

[0206] The third link member 3330 can be a component connecting the first connection end of the first link member 3310 and the upper arm massage portion 3000a. Specifically, one side of the third link member 3330 can be connected through the upper arm massage portion 3000a and the link connecting member 3360. Preferably, both sides of the third link member 3330 can be connected to the upper arm massage portion 3000a.

[0207] The first connection end of the third link member 3330 and the first link member 3310 can be connected by a link 3340. The link 3340 can be connected to penetrate the first connection end and the third link member 3330. The link 3340 can be the part where the first link member 3310 rotates relative to the third link member 3330.

[0208] Specifically, as described above, when the first link member 3310 receives rotational power through the rotation of the upper body accommodating portion 1000a, the first link member 3310 can rotate about the connection pin 3390 connected to the lower arm massage portion 3000b. In this case, the first connection end is subjected to a moving force due to the rotation of the first link member 3310, and the link 3340 inserted into the first connection end can connect this force to the third link member 3330. Therefore, the first link member 3310 and the third link member 3330 rotate relative to each other about the link 3340. At the same time, the third link member 3330 can move due to the rotation of the first link member 3310, and can pull the upper arm massage portion 3000a connected to the third link member 3330.

[0209] As an alternative embodiment, a link groove 3331 may be provided in the inner side of the third link member 3330 in a lengthwise manner, and the link 3340 may be configured to penetrate through the link groove 3331. That is, the link 3340 may be configured to penetrate through the first connection end of the first link member 3310 and the link groove 3331 simultaneously. Additionally, an elastic member 3370 for connecting the link connecting member 3360 and the link 3340 may be provided between the link connecting member 3360 and the link 3340.

[0210] Therefore, the power is not transmitted to the third link member 3330 once the first link member 3310 starts to rotate. Instead, the link 3340 slides a predetermined distance along the link groove 3331 and has a delay. During this process, the elastic member 3370 can partially buffer the power and does not transmit the power immediately.

[0211] Therefore, when the upper body accommodating portion 1000a rotates, the user sitting on the massage device 100 can feel that the arm massage portion 3000 moves smoothly and naturally. With this structure, the massage device 100 can provide a sense of comfort and well-being to the user's body during the process of switching the posture of the massage device.

[0212] As an alternative embodiment, the link unit 3300 may further include a buffer member 3380. The buffer member 3380 may be disposed between the joint portion 1110a of the first link member 3310 and the third link member 3330. As described above, when the first link member 3310 rotates, the first link member 3310 and the third link member 3330 may rotate relative to each other. In this case, the contact surfaces of the first link member 3310 and the third link member 3330 may be worn due to friction or may cause noise. For this reason, the buffer member 3380 is disposed between the first link member 3310 and the third link member 3330, so that wear or noise due to rotational friction can be prevented.

[0213] Figures 16 to 19 FIG. is a diagram showing the massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention realizing a sitting state and a lying state.

[0214] Refer to Figures 16 to 19 , the massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be switched from a sitting posture to a lying posture.

[0215] Figure 16 FIG. shows the state where the massage device 100 realizes a sitting posture. In this case, the angle R1 formed by any extension line L1 pointing in the length direction of the backrest frame 1110 of the massage device 100 and the extension line M1 pointing in the horizontal direction with respect to the ground may be 120° to 130°. Therefore, the user can sit stably on the massage device 100 in a comfortable posture.

[0216] Figure 17 Shows a part of the process of the massage device 100 switching to the lying position. As described above, when the body massage unit 1000 rotates without changing its position to switch the massage device 100 to the lying position, the occupied space relatively increases. Therefore, to solve this problem, before or during the rotation of the body massage unit 1000, the upper base frame 1131 can move forward in the direction D. Thus, the body massage unit 1000 connected to the upper base frame 1131 can move forward as a whole by a predetermined distance. Therefore, the massage device 100 can switch to the lying state while occupying a relatively small space.

[0217] For this purpose, as described above, the massage device 100 may include a driving module for the base frame 1130. For example, as described above, the driving module for the base frame 1130 may be a sliding actuator. Thus, the sliding actuator can transmit power to the upper base frame 1131 through linear expansion and contraction, so that the upper base frame 1131 can move back and forth.

[0218] Figure 18 Shows the case where the upper body accommodation part 1000a of the body massage unit 1000 rotates. That is, the upper body accommodation part 1000a can rotate backward so that the massage device 100 achieves the lying position. In this case, the angle R2 formed by any extension line L2 pointing in the length direction of the backrest frame 1110 of the massage device 100 and the extension line M2 pointing in the horizontal direction with respect to the ground can increase. As an embodiment, the upper body accommodation part 1000a can rotate until the angle formed by the extension lines L2 and M2 reaches 160° to 170°.

[0219] For this purpose, the massage device 100 may include a rotation module for the upper body accommodation part 1000a to rotate the upper body accommodation part 1000a. For example, as described above, the rotation module for the upper body accommodation part 1000a may be a back angle actuator. Thus, the back angle actuator can adjust the angle of the part in contact with the user's back in the massage device 100 through linear expansion and contraction. Specifically, it can rotate the upper body accommodation part 1000a.

[0220] Figure 19 Shows the case where the upper body accommodation part 1000a and the seat part 1000b rotate simultaneously. That is, as referred to Figure 18It should be noted that after the upper body accommodating part 1000a rotates backward, the upper body accommodating part 1000a and the seat part 1000b can further rotate by a predetermined angle. In this case, the angle R3 formed by any extension line L3 in the length direction of the backrest frame 1110 pointing to the massage device 100 and the extension line M3 pointing in the horizontal direction with respect to the ground can be further increased. As an embodiment, the upper body accommodating part 1000a and the seat part 1000b can rotate until the angle formed by the extension lines L3 and M3 reaches 170° to 178°.

[0221] This is a structure for overcoming the limitation of achieving a comfortable lying posture for the user only through the rotation of the upper body accommodating part 1000a. That is, the massage device 100 is arranged such that after the upper body accommodating part 1000a rotates to the limit, the entire upper body accommodating part 1000a and the seat part 1000b further rotate by a predetermined angle, so that a posture in which the user can lie comfortably on the massage device 100 can be achieved.

[0222] For this purpose, as described above, the massage device 100 may include a seat frame 1120 driving module. For example, the seat frame 1120 driving module may be a seat frame 1120 actuator. Therefore, when the upper body accommodating part 1000a rotates more than a certain amount, the seat frame 1120 actuator can rotate the seat frame 1120 through linear expansion and contraction.

[0223] Conversely, the massage device 100 can also be switched from the lying state to the sitting state. In this case, the massage device 100 can start switching from the Figure 19 shown lying state.

[0224] That is, after the upper body accommodating part 1000a and the seat part 1000b rotate forward by a predetermined angle simultaneously, the upper body accommodating part 1000a can further rotate forward. Additionally, after the upper body accommodating part 1000a rotates forward or while the upper body accommodating part 1000a rotates forward, the upper base frame 1131 can move backward.

[0225] Figure 20 is an enlarged Figure 4 drawing of the Y part.

[0226] Referring to Figure 20 at least one shoulder airbag 1900 can be arranged on the upper body accommodating part 1000a.

[0227] The shoulder airbag 1900 can be a unit that supports the user's shoulders and provides massage to the user's shoulders in a state where the upper body of the user is accommodated in the upper body accommodating part 1000a.

[0228] As an embodiment, a plurality of shoulder airbags 1900 may be arranged in the upper body accommodation part 1000a. Specifically, two or more may be arranged along the length direction of the user's arm.

[0229] As an embodiment, the control unit 1200 may independently control the plurality of shoulder airbags 1900. Specifically, the control unit 1200 may stably support the body including the user's shoulders by controlling the plurality of shoulder airbags 1900, and provide customized massage to the user's shoulders.

[0230] As an embodiment, as Figure 20 shown, the shoulder airbag 1900 may include a first shoulder airbag 1910 and a second shoulder airbag 1920. At this time, the first shoulder airbag 1910 and the second shoulder airbag 1920 may be respectively arranged at positions corresponding to the upper end and the lower end of the user's shoulder.

[0231] However, it is not limited thereto, and the shoulder airbag 1900 may also have more.

[0232] As an embodiment, the control unit 1200 may control the driving of the shoulder airbag 1900 to provide different massages to the user based on the load value applied to the shoulder airbag 1900.

[0233] For example, the control unit 1200 may identify the position of the user's shoulder by measuring and analyzing the load value applied to the shoulder airbag 1900, and may control each shoulder airbag 1900 based on this to support the shoulder or provide shoulder massage to match the user's body type.

[0234] As an example, the control unit 1200 can detect the position of the user's shoulder and adjust the inflation degree of the shoulder airbag 1900, thereby adjusting the intensity, strength or frequency of the massage applied to the user's shoulder.

[0235] For example, when the body massage part 1000 rotates, the position of the user's shoulder may move relatively downward in the internal space of the body massage part 1000. In this case, the control unit 1200 may control the driving of the shoulder airbag 1900 by detecting the position of the user's shoulder.

[0236] As an operation example, a pressure sensor may be provided in the air pipeline connected to the shoulder airbag 1900. The pressure sensor may measure the load value applied to the shoulder airbag 1900 from the user's shoulder by measuring the air pressure applied to the shoulder airbag 1900.

[0237] At this time, when the load value applied to the shoulder airbag 1900 is above a specific value, the control unit 1200 may identify the position of the user's shoulder and may control the shoulder airbag 1900 based on this.

[0238] At this time, a load value for the control unit 1200 to recognize the position where the user's shoulder is located can be preset.

[0239] As an alternative embodiment, the control unit 1200 can recognize the position of the user's shoulder multiple times through a pressure sensor, and the pressure sensor is arranged on the air pipeline connected to the shoulder airbag 1900.

[0240] For example, when the position of the user's shoulder is measured only once, the measurement accuracy may decrease. That is, when the user's hand or other body parts are temporarily inserted during the detection of the position of the user's shoulder, or when the user instantaneously applies a strong force, or when the shoulder instantaneously deviates from the measurement position of the sensor when the user moves, the position of the user's shoulder may not be accurately measured.

[0241] Therefore, the control unit 1200 can measure the position of the user's shoulder multiple times through the pressure sensor, and recognize the position of the user's shoulder based on the measurement values. At this time, the control unit 1200 can also use the average value of the values measured multiple times by the sensor, and can exclude abnormal values, but not limited to this.

[0242] As another operation example, a pressure sensor does not necessarily need to be provided in the shoulder airbag 1900, and a pressure sensor, a touch sensor, an infrared sensor, etc. can be provided, and multiple such sensors can also be combined and set.

[0243] For example, the pressure sensor can recognize the position of the user's shoulder by directly measuring the pressure applied by the user's shoulder to the shoulder airbag 1900. In addition, the touch sensor can recognize the position of the user's shoulder by recognizing the contact between the user's shoulder and the shoulder airbag 1900. In addition, the infrared sensor can recognize the position of the user's shoulder by using infrared rays. In this way, by using various sensors to recognize the position of the user's shoulder, and the control unit controls the driving of the shoulder airbag 1900 based on this, which is the same as the above method with a pressure sensor, so the detailed description is omitted.

[0244] As another operation example, a pressure sensor can be respectively arranged in each air pipeline connected to multiple shoulder airbags 1900. For example, a pressure sensor can be respectively arranged in each air pipeline connected to the first shoulder airbag 1910 and the second shoulder airbag 1920, and each pressure sensor can measure the load value applied from the user's shoulder to the shoulder airbags 1910, 1920.

[0245] At this time, when the difference between the load values applied to each of the shoulder airbags 1910, 1920 is greater than a critical value or more, the control unit 1200 can recognize that the user's shoulder is not located at a specific position, and can control the shoulder airbag 1900 based on this.

[0246] Specifically, for example, when it is determined that the load value applied to the second shoulder airbag 1920 is greater than a preset critical value compared to the load value applied to the first shoulder airbag 1910, the control unit 1200 can identify the load value not applied to the first shoulder airbag by the user's shoulder, which may mean that the user's shoulder is not in position. Therefore, the control unit 1200 can identify that the user's shoulder is only at the position corresponding to the second shoulder airbag 1920, and based on this, can provide shoulder massage to the user's shoulder through the second shoulder airbag 1900. However, the shoulder airbag 1900 is described as an example including two shoulder airbags 1910 and 1920, but is not limited thereto, and may also include more than two shoulder airbags.

[0247] At this time, the critical value may refer to the difference in the load values applied to the multiple shoulder airbags required to identify the position of the user's shoulder, and this critical value can be set in advance.

[0248] As an alternative embodiment, multiple sensors can be arranged at different positions in the shoulder airbag 1900. For example, multiple sensors can be arranged at two or more positions among the front, back, and sides of the user's shoulder.

[0249] Therefore, by identifying the position of the user's shoulder in each direction of the user's shoulder and measuring the load applied from the user's shoulder, etc., the position of the user's shoulder can be measured more accurately.

[0250] As an alternative embodiment, the control unit 1200 can obtain the user's weight information, body composition information, muscle mass information, etc. through the above-mentioned sensor unit 1800, and control the driving of the shoulder airbag 1900 based on this.

[0251] That is, even when the same force is applied to the user's shoulder, the magnitude of the pain felt by the user can vary according to biological information such as the user's weight, body composition, and muscle mass.

[0252] Thus, the control unit 1200 can adjust the intensity, strength, or frequency, etc. of the massage applied by the shoulder airbag 1900 based on the information about the user's body obtained through the sensor unit 1800.

[0253] Figures 21 to 23 It is a diagram showing the position where the sensor of an embodiment of the present utility model is arranged in the massage device 100.

[0254] Refer to Figures 21 to 23 , the massage device 100 according to the present utility model may include a sensor unit 1800.

[0255] As an embodiment, the sensor unit 1800 may include a plurality of sensors, which may be disposed at various positions of the massage device 100 to detect various dangers that may occur due to the driving of the massage device 100. Therefore, the control unit 1200 may control the massage device 100 based on the information detected by the plurality of sensors.

[0256] As an alternative embodiment, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at a specific position of the massage device 100, the control unit 1200 may detect this situation and temporarily stop the operation of the structure of the massage device 100 adjacent to this position. Subsequently, when it is recognized that the user's body or the obstacle has been removed from the specific position of the massage device 100, the control unit 1200 may restart the operation of the structure that was temporarily stopped.

[0257] As another alternative embodiment, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at a specific position of the massage device 100, the control unit 1200 may detect this situation and temporarily stop the operation of the structure of the massage device 100 adjacent to this position. Subsequently, when it is recognized that the user's body or the obstacle has not been removed from the specific position of the massage device 100, the control unit 1200 may return the temporarily stopped structure to its original position.

[0258] As yet another alternative embodiment, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at a specific position of the massage device 100, the control unit 1200 may detect this situation and temporarily stop the operation of the structure of the massage device 100 adjacent to this position. Subsequently, before the user inputs an instruction to restart the operation of the temporarily stopped structure of the massage device 100, the control unit 1200 may not drive the operation of this structure. At this time, the user's instruction may be the above-mentioned user input unit 1400, but is not limited thereto.

[0259] As an alternative embodiment, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at a specific position of the massage device 100, the control unit 1200 may detect this situation and provide an alarm to the user using the massage device 100. For example, the control unit 1200 may notify the user through the alarm of the fact that the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at a specific position of the massage device 100. Or, the control unit 1200 may notify the user through the alarm of the position where the user's body or an obstacle is stuck.

[0260] Alternatively, when controlling the structure of the massage device 100 by recognizing that the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at a specific position of the massage device 100, the control unit 1200 may notify the user through an alarm. For example, when temporarily stopping or restarting the operation of each structure of the massage device 100, the control unit 1200 may notify the user through the alarm of the fact that the operation of the massage device 100 is temporarily stopped or the structure of the massage device 100 is restarted.

[0261] For example, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck in a specific position, the control unit 1200 may provide an auditory alarm. Specifically, the alarm may be provided to the user through the audio output module 1500 or a separately provided sound alarm providing module. Accordingly, the user may identify that the body or the obstacle is stuck in a specific position of the massage device 100 through the auditory alarm, and may remove it to safely receive a massage.

[0262] As another example, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck in a specific position, the control unit 1200 may provide a visual alarm. Specifically, the visual alarm may be provided through a light emitting module such as an LED or a display provided in the massage device 100. For example, when the body or the obstacle is stuck in a specific position of the massage device 100, the light emitting module may be lit, and subsequently, when the body or the obstacle is removed, the light emitting module may be turned off. Alternatively, when the body or the obstacle is stuck in a specific position of the massage device 100, a stuck guiding alarm may be displayed on the display, and subsequently, when the body or the obstacle is removed, the stuck guiding alarm may be turned off on the display. Accordingly, the user may identify that the body or the obstacle is stuck in a specific position of the massage device 100 through the visual alarm, and may safely receive a massage by removing it.

[0263] As an alternative embodiment, the display may also display together at which position the user's body or an obstacle is stuck. For example, if when the upper body accommodating part 1000a rotates, the user's hand is stuck between the upper body accommodating part 1000a and the arm massage part 3000, the control unit 1200 may display on the display that a certain part of the user is stuck between the body accommodating part 1000a and the arm massage part 3000. This may be represented as text or as an image, but is not limited thereto.

[0264] Hereinafter, the positions and effects of various sensor configurations will be described in detail, where the various sensors are provided in the sensor unit 1800 to effectively perform the above functions.

[0265] As a specific example, the sensor unit 1800 may include a first sensor configured at a first position P1 between the leg massage part 2000 and the arm massage part 3000.

[0266] As described above, the leg massage part 2000 may be rotatable. In this case, as the leg massage part 2000 rotates, the user's body or other obstacles may be stuck at the first position P1. Accordingly, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at the first position P1, it may be detected by the first sensor, and the control unit 1200 may control the operation of the leg massage part 2000 based on this.

[0267] As a specific embodiment, the leg massage unit 2000 may include an upper leg massage unit and a lower leg massage unit. At this time, the upper part of the user's leg can be inserted into the upper leg massage unit, and the lower part of the user's leg can be inserted into the lower leg massage unit.

[0268] The leg length adjustment actuator can move the lower leg massage unit along the length direction of the user's leg with the upper leg massage unit as a reference, so that the length of the leg massage unit 2000 can be adjusted.

[0269] At this time, the user's body or other obstacles can be stuck at the second position P2 between the upper leg massage unit and the lower leg massage unit.

[0270] For this reason, the sensor unit 1800 may include a second sensor disposed at the second position P2.

[0271] Therefore, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at the second position P2, it can be detected by the second sensor, and the control unit 1200 can control the length adjustment of the leg massage unit 2000 based on this.

[0272] As a specific embodiment, the leg massage unit 2000 may include a right leg massage unit corresponding to the user's right leg and a left leg massage unit corresponding to the user's left leg. In this case, the right leg massage unit and the left leg massage unit can be controlled separately.

[0273] In this way, when the right leg massage unit and the left leg massage unit are controlled separately, the user's body or other obstacles can be stuck at the third position P3 between the right leg massage unit and the left leg massage unit.

[0274] For this reason, the sensor unit 1800 may include a third sensor disposed at the third position P3.

[0275] Therefore, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at the third position P3, it can be detected by the third sensor, and the control unit 1200 can control the right leg massage unit and the left leg massage unit separately based on this.

[0276] As a specific embodiment, the sensor unit 1800 may include a fourth sensor disposed at the fourth position P4 between the upper arm massage unit 3000a and the upper body accommodation unit 1000a. For example, the fourth sensor can be disposed between the front part of the upper body accommodation unit 1000a and the rear part of the arm massage unit 3000.

[0277] As described above, when the upper body accommodating part 1000a rotates, the upper arm part massage part 3000a can move correspondingly therewith. In this case, as the upper body accommodating part 1000a rotates, the upper arm part massage part 3000a and the upper body accommodating part 1000a can approach or move away from each other relatively, so that the user's body or other obstacles can be stuck at the fourth position P4. Therefore, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at the fourth position P4, it can be detected by the fourth sensor, and the control unit 1200 can control the rotation of the upper body accommodating part 1000a based on this.

[0278] As a specific embodiment, the sensor unit 1800 may include a fifth sensor, which is disposed at the fifth position P5 on the bottom surface of the leg massage part 2000.

[0279] When the leg massage part 2000 does not rotate, the user's legs face the ground. Also in this case, the length of the leg massage part 2000 can be adjusted. In this case, the user's body or other obstacles can be stuck in the space between the bottom surface of the leg massage part 2000 and the ground.

[0280] Therefore, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at the fifth position P5, it can be detected by the fifth sensor, and the control unit 1200 can control the length adjustment of the leg massage part 2000 based on this.

[0281] As a specific embodiment, the sensor unit 1800 may include a sixth sensor, which is disposed at the sixth position P6 on the lower side part of the leg massage part 2000 and the frame part 1100.

[0282] If the leg massage part 2000 is lifted upward when the leg massage part 2000 can rotate, a space including the sixth position P6 can be formed between the leg massage part 2000 and the lower side part of the frame part 1100. Therefore, when the massage part returns to the original position, the user's body or other obstacles can be stuck at the sixth position P6. Therefore, when the user's body or an obstacle is stuck at the sixth position P6, it can be detected by the sixth sensor, and the control unit 1200 can control the rotation action of the leg massage part 2000 based on this.

[0283] As a specific embodiment, the sensor unit 1800 may include a seventh sensor, which is disposed at the seventh position P7 at the lower end of the rear surface of the upper arm part massage part 3000a. As Figure 22 shown, when the massage device 100 is switched to the lying state, the upper arm part massage part 3000a is in Figure 22The shown sitting state moves towards the lower right end with reference thereto. Accordingly, as the upper arm massage unit 3000a moves, the user's body or other obstacles may be caught at the seventh position P7. Thus, when the user's body or an obstacle is caught at the seventh position P7, it can be detected by the seventh sensor, and the control unit 1200 can control the movement of the upper body accommodation unit 1000a and the upper arm massage unit 3000a based thereon.

[0284] As a specific embodiment, the sensor unit 1800 may include an eighth sensor disposed at an eighth position P8 at the upper end of the front surface of the upper arm massage unit 3000a. As Figure 22 shown, when the massage device 100 switches from the lying state to the sitting state, the upper arm massage unit 3000a moves towards the upper left end with reference to the Figure 22 shown lying state. Accordingly, as the upper arm massage unit 3000a moves, the user's body or other obstacles may be caught at the eighth position P8. Thus, when the user's body or an obstacle is caught at the eighth position P8, it can be detected by the eighth sensor, and the control unit 1200 can control the movement of the upper body accommodation unit 1000a and the upper arm massage unit 3000a based thereon.

[0285] As a specific embodiment, the sensor unit 1800 may include a ninth sensor disposed at a ninth position P9 at the lower end of the upper body accommodation unit 1000a. As Figure 23 shown, when the massage device 100 is in the sitting state, an empty space including the ninth position P9 is formed between the lower end of the upper body accommodation unit 1000a and the ground. Subsequently, when the upper body accommodation unit 1000a rotates, the upper body accommodation unit 1000a rotates in a direction to reduce the space between the lower end of the upper body accommodation unit 1000a and the ground. At this time, as the upper body accommodation unit 1000a rotates, the user's body or other obstacles may be caught at the ninth position P9. Thus, when the user's body or an obstacle is caught at the ninth position P9, it can be detected by the ninth sensor, and the control unit 1200 can control the rotation of the upper body accommodation unit 1000a based thereon.
