At this time, the first shoulder airbag 1911 and the second shoulder airbag 1931 may be disposed on both sides of the user's shoulder (or the upper surfaces on both sides of the shoulder) and apply pressure to both sides of the user's shoulder, thereby massaging (or fixing) the user's shoulder.

[0141] The first back and / or lumbar airbag 1913 may be configured in an overall area on one side of the body massage unit 1000 corresponding to one side of the user's back and / or one side of the lumbar region (e.g., the area between the upper end and the lower end on one side of the body massage unit 1000), whereby one side of the user's back and / or one side of the lumbar region can be massaged. The second back airbag 1933 may be configured in an overall area on the other side of the body massage unit 1000 corresponding to the other side of the user's back and / or the other side of the lumbar region (e.g., the area between the upper end and the lower end on the other side of the body massage unit 1000), whereby the other side of the user's back and / or the other side of the lumbar region can be massaged. At this time, the first back airbag 1913 and the second back airbag 1933 may be configured on the back surface of the user's back and / or the back surface of the lumbar region, whereby pressure is applied to the back surface of the user's back and / or the back surface of the lumbar region, so that the user's back and / or lumbar region can be massaged (or the user's back and / or lumbar region is pushed forward in the direction of the body massage unit 1000). Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the back and / or lumbar airbag is assumed to be a back airbag.

[0142] The first pelvic airbag 1915 may be configured in an overall area on one side of the body massage unit 1000 corresponding to one side of the user's pelvis (e.g., the lower end area on one side of the body massage unit 1000), whereby one side of the user's pelvis can be massaged. The second pelvic airbag 1935 may be configured in an overall area on the other side of the body massage unit 1000 corresponding to the other side of the user's pelvis (e.g., the lower end area on the other side of the body massage unit 1000), whereby the other side of the user's pelvis can be massaged. At this time, the first pelvic airbag 1915 and the second pelvic airbag 1935 may be configured on two side surfaces of the user's pelvis, whereby pressure is applied to two side surfaces of the user's pelvis, so that the user's pelvis can be massaged (or fixed).

[0143] The first thigh airbag 1917 may be configured in an overall area on one side of the body massage unit 1000 corresponding to the thigh of one side of the user's leg (or the central area on one side of the lower central area of the body massage unit 1000), whereby the thigh of one side of the user's leg can be massaged. The second thigh airbag 1937 may be configured in an overall area on the other side of the body massage unit 1000 corresponding to the thigh of the other side of the user's leg (or the central area on the other side of the lower central area of the body massage unit 1000), whereby the thigh of the other side of the user's leg can be massaged. At this time, the first thigh airbag 1917 and the second thigh airbag 1937 may be configured on the back surface of the user's thigh, whereby pressure is applied to the back surface of the thigh, so that the thighs on one side and the other side of the user can be massaged (or the user's back is pushed forward in the direction of the body massage unit 1000).

[0144] Figure 9 And Figure 10 FIG. is a view showing a massage module for massaging the lower leg in the leg massage unit 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0145] Referring to Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the leg massage unit 2000 may include an acupressure module that massages by applying acupressure to the lower leg of a user.

[0146] The lower leg massage unit may include: a lifting member 451 that is disposed on a mounting plate 46 of a leg support frame 41 fixed to the leg massage unit 2000 in a vertically movable manner; a lifting drive module that moves the lifting member 451 up and down; and an acupressure module that is disposed on the lifting member 451 and massages by applying acupressure to the lower leg of the user.

[0147] The lifting drive module may be applicable to various linear motion devices. In this embodiment, the lifting drive module may include: a lifting motor 455 that is disposed on the lifting member 451; a drive gear unit 456 that receives power from the lifting motor 455 and rotates; two drive shafts 457 that are respectively connected to both sides of the drive gear unit 456 and rotate; two pinions 458 that are respectively coupled to both ends of each drive shaft 457 and rotate; and two racks 459 that are respectively disposed on both side portions of the mounting plate 46 and extend vertically and mesh with each pinion 458. Therefore, when the power of the lifting motor 455 is transmitted to the drive gear unit 456, the two drive shafts 457 rotate simultaneously, and the pinions 458 connected to each drive shaft 457 rotate, so that they can move up and down along the racks 459.

[0148] The acupressure module includes: a mounting bracket 452 that is disposed on the lifting member 451 in a manner that can move in the front-rear direction; an acupressure member 453 having a roller shape that is rotatably disposed at the front portion of the mounting bracket 452 and rolls along the lower leg while applying pressure to the lower leg; and an acupressure elastic member 454 that applies an elastic force to the mounting bracket 452 toward the front with respect to the lifting member 451.

[0149] The acupressure elastic member 454 may apply an elastic force to the mounting bracket 452 as in this embodiment, but may also apply an elastic force to the shaft of the acupressure member 453 by connecting to the shaft of the acupressure member 453 disposed on the mounting bracket 452 and the lifting member 451. That is, the acupressure elastic member 454 may directly provide an elastic force to the mounting bracket 452 according to the setting position, or may provide an elastic force through the shaft of the acupressure member 453.

[0150] The mounting bracket 452 can receive elastic force from the finger pressure elastic member 454, and thus move back and forth together with the finger pressure member 453 in the front part of the lifting member 451.

[0151] Hereinafter, a description will be given of the content in which the control unit 1200 of the massage device 100 controls the massage module 1700 and the leg massage unit 2000 according to the traction mode to provide traction massage for pulling the user's body. At this time, the traction mode may include at least one of a first traction mode and a second traction mode to be described later.

[0152] Figure 11 A diagram for explaining a method in which the massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention provides a first traction mode (step S1100).

[0153] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 may provide a first traction mode (step S1100) for pulling a first traction part, where the first traction part is at least two or more parts among the user's body parts.

[0154] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first traction mode (step S1100) may include at least one of a pre-massage mode (step S1110) and a first-stage traction mode (step S1120), but is not limited thereto.

[0155] The pre-massage mode (step S1110) according to an embodiment of the present invention may massage at least one of the traction part and the surrounding part of the traction part (for example, a part within a predetermined distance from the traction part) before or after the first-stage traction mode (step S1120). For example, the pre-massage mode (step S1110) may include at least one of the following steps: a first stimulation mode (step S1111), in which the massage module 1700 is moved forward on the traction part to push the traction part, thereby stimulating the traction part; and a second stimulation mode (step S1113), in which the massage module 1700 that has been moved forward is moved upward to apply pressure to the traction part and the surrounding part of the traction part, thereby stimulating the traction part and the surrounding part of the traction part.

[0156] For example, in the first stimulation mode (step S1111), the massage device 100 may push the user by changing the massage module 1700 from a retracted state to a forward state on the traction part. In this case, the massage device 100 may position the massage module 1700 on the traction part in a zero-gravity posture and change from the retracted state to the forward state to push the user, thereby achieving a slight stimulation effect.

[0157] In the second stimulation mode (step S1113) according to an embodiment of the present utility model, the massage device 100 may hold the massage module 1700 in the forward state and move the massage module 1700 upward, thereby providing acupressure massage to the user.

[0158] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, in at least one of the first stimulation mode (step S1111) and the second stimulation mode (step S1113), the massage device 100 may control the foot massage module 1700 of the leg massage unit 2000, thereby simultaneously executing a foot stimulation mode for stimulating the user's foot. Specifically, the foot stimulation mode may be executed in the second stimulation mode (step S1113). This kind of massage is a gentle massage for relieving tension, which serves to relieve the user's tension before the user receives a stronger traction.

[0159] In the 1-1 traction mode (step S1120) according to an embodiment of the present utility model, at least one of the following operations may be performed: a first traction massage mode (step S1121), moving the massage module 1700 in at least one of the upward and downward directions and tractioning a first traction site; and a second traction massage mode (step S1123), adjusting the angle of the leg massage unit 2000 based on a preset first angle, thereby assisting the first traction massage mode (step S1121). In this case, the first traction massage mode (step S1121) may move the massage module 1700 downward and apply pressure to the first traction site, thereby tractioning the first traction site, that is, the user's waist and buttocks. In this case, the second traction massage mode (step S1123) may tilt the leg massage unit 2000 based on the preset first angle, thereby lowering the leg massage unit 2000.

[0160] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the preset first angle may be set based on at least one of the user's leg length and the reference angle of the mode. For example, for a user with a shorter leg, the first angle may be set relatively small, while for a user with a longer leg, the first angle may be set relatively large. In addition, for the first traction mode (step S1100), the first angle may be determined in advance, and the first angle may be different from the second angle to be described later.

[0161] As another example, for a user with relatively short legs, a weight value based on leg length information can be applied to the reference angle set for the first traction mode (step S1100), and the reduced angle can be set as the first angle. In addition, for a user with relatively long legs, a weight value based on leg length information can be applied to the reference angle set for the first traction mode (step S1100), and the increased angle can be set as the first angle.

[0162] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 can determine at least a part of the first traction site.

[0163] Referring to Figure 12 , the massage device 100 can obtain the position information of the user's shoulder through the sensor unit 1300, and can use the obtained shoulder position information to divide the user's back (for example, from the shoulder to the hip) into multiple regions. Specifically, the massage device 100 can input the shoulder position information into a pre-determined algorithm, so as to divide the height of the user's back into four regions (for example, shoulder, back, waist, hip, etc.). In this case, the four regions are only one embodiment, and the massage device 100 can divide the user's back into eight regions, twelve regions, etc., but not limited thereto, and can be divided into various numbers of regions.

[0164] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 can determine at least one of the divided multiple regions as the traction site. For example, the massage device 100 can determine the part corresponding to the waist in the divided region as the traction site. As another example, the massage device 100 can determine the region including the part corresponding to the 2 / 3 position from the upper side in the divided region as the traction site.

[0165] In this case, the massage device 100 can determine the number of regions divided according to the user's shoulder height information to be different from each other. Specifically, in the case of a user with relatively large measured shoulder height information, the number of divided regions can be greater than the number of divided regions in the case of a user with relatively small shoulder height information.

[0166] This is because when the user's shoulder height information represents a large value, the area that the massage device 100 needs to massage is wider, so it is necessary to accurately select the traction position.

[0167] According to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 12 , if the third region is determined as the traction site, the first interval not including the first traction site may include the first region and the second region.

[0168] According to another embodiment, if the user's back is divided into twelve regions, and the eighth and ninth regions starting from the upper side are determined as the traction parts, at least a part of the regions before the traction parts can be determined as the first interval. Specifically, the massage device 100 can determine the second region to the fifth region, the third region to the sixth region, the third region to the seventh region, etc. as the first interval.

[0169] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first traction massage mode (step S1121) and the second traction massage mode (step S1123) can be provided together by the massage device 100. In addition, when the massage device 100 provides the second traction massage mode (step S1121), at least one of the first inflation mode and the second inflation mode can be executed together. The first inflation mode is used to make the leg airbag expand, and the second inflation mode is used to make at least one of the shoulder airbag and the thigh airbag of the body massage part expand.

[0170] Specifically, the massage device 100 can execute the second traction massage mode (step S1123) after the first inflation mode for making the leg airbag of the leg massage part 2000 expand. In addition, the second traction massage mode (step S1123) can be executed together with the second inflation mode for making at least one of the shoulder airbag and the thigh airbag of the body massage part expand.

[0171] More specifically, the massage device 100 lowers the massage module 1700 on the first interval that does not include the traction part and provides acupressure massage to the user, and can make the airbag included in the leg massage part 2000 expand. In addition, the massage module 1700 is lowered on the second interval that includes the traction part and acupressure massage is provided to the user, and the leg massage part 2000 can be rotated by a preset angle together with the second inflation mode. In this case, the second interval can include at least one region containing the traction part. In addition, the preset angle can be set based on at least one of the length of the user's leg and the reference angle of the mode, which has been described above.

[0172] After the above steps, the massage device 100 contracts the airbags, the shoulder airbag, and the thigh airbag included in the inflated leg massage part 2000, makes the pelvic airbag expand, and can raise the massage module 1700, and thereby provides acupressure massage to the user. In this case, the massage device 100 can rotate the leg massage part 2000 in a direction opposite to the rotation direction in the second traction massage mode (step S1123). As a result, the massage device 100 can return to the zero-gravity state.

[0173] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the massage device 100 may provide a first traction mode once (step S1100). In addition, according to another embodiment, the massage device 100 may provide the first traction mode multiple times (step S1100), but it is not limited thereto.

[0174] Figure 13 FIG. is a diagram for explaining a method in which the massage device 100 provides a second traction mode (step S1300) according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0175] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the massage device 100 may provide a second traction mode (step S1300) for traction of any one of the body parts, that is, the second traction part. In this case, the second traction mode (step S1300) may include a 2-1 traction mode (step S1310), and the 2-1 traction mode (step S1310) performs: a third traction massage mode (step S1311) of moving the massage module in at least one of the forward direction and the backward direction of the massage module 100 and traction the second traction part; and a fourth traction massage mode (step S1313) of assisting the third traction massage mode (step S1311) by adjusting the angle of the leg massage part 2000.

[0176] In this case, the third traction massage mode (step S1311) moves the massage module 1700 in the forward direction and applies pressure to the second traction part, so as to traction the second traction part, that is, the waist of the user. In addition, the fourth traction massage mode (step S1313) may include an action of lowering the leg massage part 2000 by tilting the leg massage part 2000 based on a preset second angle.

[0177] In this case, the preset second angle may be set based on at least one of the user's leg length and the reference angle of the mode. For example, for a user with a shorter leg, the second angle may be set relatively small, and for a user with a longer leg, the second angle may be set relatively large. In addition, the second angle may be determined in advance for the second traction mode (step S1300), and the second angle may be different from the above-mentioned first angle. As another example, for a user with a relatively short leg, a weight value based on the leg length information may be applied to the reference angle set for the second traction mode (step S1300), and thus the reduced angle may be set as the second angle. In addition, for a user with a relatively long leg, a weight value based on the leg length information may be applied to the reference angle set for the second traction mode (step S1300), and thus the increased angle may be set as the second angle.

[0178] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the third traction massage mode (step S1311) can be executed together with the third inflation mode for inflating the leg airbags of the leg massage unit 2000, and can be executed together with the fourth inflation action for inflating at least one of the shoulder airbag and the thigh airbag of the body massage unit.

[0179] Specifically, the massage device 100 can push the user by switching the massage module 1700 from the retracted state to the advanced state at the traction site, thereby providing kneading massage to the user. This can have the effect of soothing the user's muscles before the massage device 100 provides formal massage. Then, the massage device 100 switches the massage module 1700 from the retracted state to the advanced state at the traction site, thereby pushing the user, so that acupressure massage can be provided to the user, and the airbags included in the shoulder airbag, the thigh airbag, and the leg massage unit 2000 can be inflated, and the leg massage unit 2000 can be rotated by a second angle that is a predetermined angle.

[0180] In subsequent steps, when the massage module 1700 is in the advanced state, the massage device 100 can rotate the leg massage unit 2000 further by a preset angle in the direction of rotation in the previous step. In this case, the further rotation angle can be set based on at least one of the leg length and the reference angle of the mode. For example, for a user with shorter legs, the further rotation angle can be set relatively small, while for a user with longer legs, the further rotation angle can be set relatively large. As another example, for a user with relatively shorter legs, a weight value based on the leg length information can be applied to the reference angle set for the second traction mode, and the reduced angle can be set as the further rotation angle. In addition, for a user with relatively longer legs, a weight value based on the leg length information can be applied to the angle set for the second traction mode, and the increased angle can be set as the further rotation angle.

[0181] The massage device 100 can rotate the leg massage unit 2000 at a large angle, thereby maximizing the traction effect on the waist.

[0182] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, as an additional action, the massage device 100 can contract the airbags included in the shoulder airbag, the thigh airbag, and the leg massage, and inflate the pelvic airbag, and switch the massage module 1700 from the retracted state to the advanced state at the traction site, thereby pushing the user, and thereby providing acupressure massage to the user.

[0183] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the massage device 100 may perform a soothing massage mode (step S1320) before or after the 2-1 traction mode (step S1310). In the soothing massage mode (step S1320), at least one of the traction site and the surrounding sites of the traction site is massaged.

[0184] The soothing massage mode (step S1320) may include at least one of the following steps: a third stimulation mode (step S1321), applying pressure to the traction site and the surrounding sites of the traction site by moving the massage module 1700 in at least one of the upward and downward directions of the massage module 1700 on the traction site, thereby stimulating the traction site and the surrounding sites of the traction site; and a fourth stimulation mode (step S1323), causing the arm airbag of the arm massage part to expand sequentially, thereby stimulating the part accommodating the user's hand to the part accommodating the user's forearm in sequence. In this case, when the soothing massage mode includes the third stimulation mode (step S1321) and the fourth stimulation mode (step S1323), the third stimulation mode (step S1321) and the fourth stimulation mode (step S1323) may be executed separately or simultaneously.

[0185] Specifically, in the soothing massage mode (step S1320), the massage device 100 may move the massage module 1700 from the traction site to above the user and provide acupressure massage to the user. In this case, the massage device 100 may cause the leg massage part 2000 to provide foot massage to the user.

[0186] In addition, in this case, the massage device 100 may cause the multiple airbags provided in the arm massage part to expand sequentially from the part accommodating the user's hand to the part accommodating the user's forearm. Specifically, for example, referring to Figure 7 , the massage device 100 may cause the first sub-arm airbag 3111, the third sub-arm airbag 3113, and the second sub-arm airbag 3112 to expand sequentially. In addition, the massage device 100 may cause the fourth sub-arm airbag 3211, the sixth sub-arm airbag 3213, and the fifth sub-arm airbag 3212 to expand sequentially.

[0187] In subsequent steps, the massage device 100 moves the massage module 1700 from above the user to below the user and provides acupressure massage, and may cause the airbag included in the leg massage part 2000 to expand. In this case, the massage device 100 may cause the airbag located in the part corresponding to the instep part in the airbag included in the leg massage part 2000 to expand, but may not cause the airbag located in the part corresponding to the heel part to expand. In addition, in this case, the massage device 100 may provide foot massage together.

[0188] In subsequent steps, the massage device 100 moves the massage module 1700 from the lower side of the user to the upper side of the user and provides acupressure massage, and the leg massage unit 2000 can provide acupressure massage to a portion corresponding to the calf of the user.

[0189] In the case of providing soothing massage, the massage device 100 can make the protruding degree of the massage module 1700 different when the massage module 1700 moves upward and downward. For example, compared with moving upward, the massage module 1700 can protrude more when moving downward.

[0190] In subsequent steps, the massage device 100 moves the massage module 1700 from the upper side of the user to the lower side of the user and provides acupressure massage, and the leg massage unit 2000 provides acupressure massage to a portion corresponding to the calf of the user, and can cause the air bags included in the leg massage unit 2000 to expand.

[0191] In this case, the structure for providing acupressure massage in the leg massage unit 2000 according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to Figure 10 and is not limited thereto.

[0192] Figure 14 is a diagram for explaining a method of providing massage based on a user's selection according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0193] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S1501, the massage device 100 can determine a traction site. For example, the massage device 100 can obtain the shoulder position information of the user through the sensor unit 1300, and use the obtained shoulder position information to determine the traction site. In this case, the traction site can refer to the waist site.

[0194] Specifically, the massage device 100 can use the obtained shoulder position information to divide the back of the user (for example, the portion from the shoulder to the hip) into multiple regions. More specifically, the massage device 100 can divide the height of the user's back into four regions (for example, shoulder, back, waist, hip, etc.) by inputting the shoulder position information into a pre-determined algorithm. In this case, the four regions are only one embodiment, and the massage device 100 can divide the back of the user into eight regions, twelve regions, etc., but is not limited thereto, and can be divided into various numbers of regions.

[0195] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 may determine at least one of the multiple divided regions as a traction part. For example, the massage device 100 may determine the part corresponding to the waist in the divided regions as the traction part. As another example, the massage device 100 may determine the region including the part corresponding to the position from the upper side to 2 / 3 as the traction part.

[0196] In this case, the massage device 100 may determine the number of regions divided according to the user's shoulder height information to be different from each other. Specifically, in the case of a user with relatively large measured shoulder height information, the number of divided regions may be greater than that in the case of a user with relatively small shoulder height information.

[0197] This is because when the user's shoulder height information represents a large value, the area to be massaged by the massage device 100 is wide, so it is necessary to accurately select the traction position.

[0198] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S1503, the massage device 100 may provide the user with an interface for selecting one of the first traction mode (step S1100) and the second traction mode (step S1300). In this case, the massage device 100 may provide the interface through the user input unit 1400 and through the massage device controller CD, but is not limited thereto.

[0199] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S1505, the massage device 100 may determine the massage mode in response to the provided interface and based on the input signal, and in step S1507, may provide massage to the user according to the determined massage mode.

[0200] For example, when the user selects the first traction mode, the massage device 100 may provide the first traction mode (step S1100). In this case, the massage device 100 may provide the first traction mode (step S1100) multiple times.

[0201] As another example, when the user selects the second traction mode, the massage device 100 may provide the second traction mode (step S1300). In this case, the massage device 100 may provide the second traction mode (step S1300) multiple times.
