[0098] The upper frame 1131 can be provided with a rack in a length direction. The rack is a member for guiding the massage module 1110 to move up and down, and can be configured by a known rack including a plurality of valleys and a plurality of ridges.

[0099] According to an embodiment of the present application, the rack can be provided on both sides of the upper frame 1131 in a facing manner, and the massage module 1110 can move along the rack.

[0100] The rack is formed in an up and down direction, but is not limited thereto. The rack can include a rack in a front and rear direction and a rack in an up and down direction. In the present application, the front and rear direction can refer to a direction from the massage module 1110 toward a user or a direction from the user toward the massage module 1110, and can refer to an X-axis direction as a reference. Figure 2

[0101] The massage module 1110 can include a gear engaged with the rack. More specifically, the massage module 1110 can include gears engaged with the rack in the front and rear direction and the rack in the up and down direction, respectively. The gears are rotated by an actuator provided in the massage module 1110, so that the massage module 1110 can move forward, backward, upward, or downward.

[0102] As the massage module 1110 moves forward, the massage intensity can increase. In addition, as the massage module 1110 moves backward, the massage intensity can decrease.

[0103] The rack can be made of a metal material or a plastic material. For example, the rack can be made of iron, steel, an alloy, reinforced plastic, melamine resin, phenol resin, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0104] ​The upper frame 1131 can be implemented in various shapes. For example, according to the shape, the upper frame 1131 can be classified into an S-frame, an L-frame, an S&L-frame, a double S&L-frame, but is not limited thereto.

[0105] The S-frame refers to a frame in which at least a portion of the upper frame 1131 has a shape bent like an "S". The L-frame refers to a frame in which at least a portion of the upper frame 1131 includes a shape bent like an "L". The S&L-frame refers to a frame in which both a shape bent like an "S" and a shape bent like an "L" are included. The double S&L-frame refers to a frame in which a shape bent like an "L" and two portions of a shape bent like an "S" are included.

[0106] The base frame 1132 refers to a portion that supports the upper frame 1131 and is in contact with the ground. The base frame 1132 can include a base upper frame 1132a and a base lower frame 1132b.

For example, the base upper frame 1132a can slide forward or backward along the base lower frame 1132b. In this case, the upper frame 1131 is connected to the base upper frame 1132a, and thus can move along with the movement of the base upper frame 1132a.

[0109] For example, when the base upper frame 1132a moves forward, the upper frame 1131 can also move forward, and when the base upper frame 1132a moves backward, the upper frame 1131 can also move backward. Thereby, it is possible to allow the sliding of the body massage unit 1100.

[0110] In order to allow the movement of the base upper frame 1132a, a moving wheel can be provided at a lower portion of the base upper frame 1132a. In addition, a guide member that can guide the moving wheel can be provided at an upper portion of the base lower frame 1132b. The moving wheel provided at the base upper frame 1132a moves along the guide member provided at the base lower frame 1132b, and thus it is possible to allow the base upper frame 1132a to move forward or backward.

At this time, the upper end of both sides of the upper frame 1131 can be a position corresponding to both sides of the user's shoulders, a rear upper end of both sides of the user's shoulders, etc. The rotating bracket 1410 of the rotating unit 1400 is disposed at a position corresponding to the shoulder massage part 1205 located at both sides of the user's shoulders, and even in the case where the arm massage part 1200 is rotated, the shoulder massage part 1205 can maintain a state of being attached to the user's shoulders.

[0176] A " " type handrail groove 1213, which is open to the inside of the side direction and the rear, can be provided in front of the arm massage part frame 1210 so that the user's arm can be inserted thereinto. The handrail groove 1213 can include at least one of an air bag, a massage module, and a heating module, which can massage the user's arm. The air bag can be inflated and contracted by air supply and discharge to pressurize and massage the user's arm, and the massage module can be provided to massage the arm by vibration of an actuator. The heating module can be provided to heat the arm to provide a heating massage effect.

[0177] The arm massage part frame 1210 can be rotated up and down by the rotating unit 1400 with the rotating shaft of the rotating bracket 1410 as the center. The rotating unit 1400 can be provided to rotate the arm massage part 1200 by switching the driving force of the driving part 1420 to an external rotating force fixed to the shaft part 1323 of the fixed bracket 1320. For example, the rotating unit 1400 can be provided to rotate the arm massage part 1200 a certain angle in the up and down direction of the massage device 1000 with the rotating shaft as the center. In the state where the actuator 1310 of the transfer unit 1300 is elongated in the length direction, the rotating unit 1400 for rotating the arm massage part 1200 in the up and down direction can be driven in a region not interfering with the body massage part 1100.

[0178] Referring to Figures 9A-10 , a fastening relationship between the arm massage part 1200 and the transfer unit 1300 and the rotating unit 1400 of the present utility model is shown.

[0179] The transfer unit 1300 includes an actuator 1310 located between the body massage part 1100 and the arm massage part 1200, and a fixing bracket 1320 fastened to the actuator 1310 and transmitting a length direction tension of the actuator 1310 to the arm massage part 1200. The arm massage part frame 1210 constituting the arm massage part 1200 can be interpreted as a concept including a skeleton structure forming the arm massage part 1200 and a panel constituting an outer shape of the skeleton structure. One end of the actuator 1310 is fastened to the main frame, and the other end is located at the arm massage part frame 1210. The fixing bracket 1320 is located inside the arm massage part frame 1210 so that the arm massage part frame 1210 can be freely rotated, and the fixing bracket 1320 can be formed of a circular plate structure so that the arm massage part frame 1210 is rotated by the rotation unit 1400. The actuator 1310 includes a guide part 1330 located on the fixing bracket 1320 and provided around both side surfaces of the actuator 1310 to support a movement in a length direction of the actuator 1310. The guide part 1330 can be located at both side surfaces of the actuator 1310 in the length direction so as to prevent a front and back direction movement of the actuator 1310.

[0180] The rotation unit 1400 includes a rotation bracket 1410 having a rotation shaft located at a center hole 1321 of the fixing bracket 1320, a protrusion part 1421 having one end provided at the rotation bracket 1410 and extending from an outer peripheral surface of the rotation bracket 1410, and a cover part 1430 provided apart from the outer peripheral surface of the rotation bracket 1410 having a circular plate shape. The protrusion part 1421 is provided to extend to a position interfering with the cover part 1430 when the rotation bracket 1410 is excessively rotated, along an outer side of the rotation bracket 1410. Accordingly, the rotation bracket 1410 is provided so that the cover part 1430 and the protrusion part 1421 interfere with each other when a rotation set angle or more, thereby limiting a rotation amount of the arm massage part 1200 beyond a standard. Further, the cover part 1430 is provided to surround an upper surface of the actuator 1310, and is provided to limit a width direction position of the actuator 1310.

[0181] The driving part 1420 fixed to the rotation bracket 1410 is provided to be fastened to the gear unit 1322 adjacent to the center hole 1321 of the fixing bracket 1320. A driving shaft of the driving part 1420 is located inside the gear unit 1322, and the arm massage part frame 1210 and the rotation bracket 1410 are integrally rotated along an outer peripheral surface of the gear unit shaft part 1323 with the driving part 1420 corresponding to a rotation of the driving shaft.

[0182] As an embodiment of the present application, the arm massage part 1200 located at both sides of the body massage part 1100 can be selectively unfolded and rotated, and the transfer unit 1300 and the rotation unit 1400 controlled to be fastened to each of the arm massage part 1200 can be driven.

[0183] The control part judges whether the arm massage part 1200 is separated from the body massage part 1100 before the rotation unit 1400 is driven, and when the arm massage part 1200 is separated, the rotation unit 1400 is driven. This is to prevent the problem of interference between the head part 1103 of the body massage part 1100 and the rear end of the arm massage part frame 1210 when the arm massage part 1200 is rotated in a state where it does not have a predetermined interval from the body massage part 1100. That is, the rotation of the arm massage part 1200 can be performed by the rotation unit 1400 after the arm massage part 1200 is moved at a predetermined interval from the body massage part 1100 by previously driving the transfer unit 1300.

[0184] As shown in FIG. 1, the arm massage part 1200 can be selectively unfolded and rotated, and the rotation unit 1400 can be driven. Figure 10 As shown in FIG. 1, the arm massage part 1200 can be selectively unfolded and rotated, and the rotation unit 1400 can be driven.

[0185] The fixed bracket 1320 can be installed and located inside the arm massage part 1200, and is provided to integrally move the arm massage part 1200 in response to the lengthwise driving force of the actuator 1310. In addition, the fixed bracket 1320 can be located in the installation groove formed in the arm massage part 1200.

[0186] The installation groove can be provided to have a shape in which an upper surface protrudes, and is provided to have at least a portion of the fixed bracket 1320 inserted therein. In addition, the installation groove can have a cylindrical shape, and is provided to have a position and a shape that minimize the movement of the fixed bracket 1320 as the arm massage part 1200 rotates.

[0187] In addition, the fixed bracket 1320 is located in the arm massage part 1200 in a manner that has an area overlapping the rotation bracket 1410, and the actuator 1310 of the transfer unit 1300 is located between the body massage part 1100 and the arm massage part 1200 in a state where one end thereof is fixed to the fixed bracket 1320. The guide part 1330 is located in the fixed bracket 1320, and is provided to surround at least two of the outer surfaces of the actuator 1310. In addition, the actuator 1310 fastened to the arm massage part frame 1210 and the guide part 1330 are positioned to be surrounded by the cover part 1430. Accordingly, it is possible to limit the lengthwise movement and the widthwise movement of the actuator 1310.

[0188] The rotating bracket 1410 is provided in a fixed form with the arm massage part frame 1210 constituting the arm massage part 1200, and when the rotating bracket 1410 is rotated along the shaft part of the gear unit 1322, the arm massage part 1200 is rotated integrally with the rotating bracket 1410.

[0189] Accordingly, in correspondence with the driving of the transfer unit 1300, the arm massage part 1200 is moved from the body massage part 1100 by a predetermined interval in the same direction as the moving direction of the fixed bracket 1320.

[0190] The lower end of the cover part 1430 fixed to the fixed bracket 1320, where the actuator 1310 is extended, is open, and can be provided with a predetermined interval from the outer circumferential surface of the rotating bracket 1410 to surround at least a part of the rotating bracket 1410 having a circular plate shape.

[0191] The protrusion part 1421 is included, which extends from the rotating bracket 1410 along the outer circumferential surface and can be moved in the open area of the cover part 1430. The protrusion part 1421 protrudes from the outside of the rotating bracket 1410 in a manner to interfere with both ends of the cover part 1430, and when a rotational force of a set angle or more is applied to the rotating bracket 1410 from the driving part 1420, the cover part 1430 and the protrusion part 1421 contact and limit the excessive rotation of the arm massage part 1200.

[0192] As shown in FIG. 10, the transfer unit 1300 is provided to work in a manner that the arm massage part 1200 is spaced apart from the body massage part 1100, and then the front end of the arm massage part 1200 is rotated in the up and down direction by the rotating unit 1400 with the fixed bracket 1320 as a reference. Figures 9A-10

[0193] The driving relationship in a state that is spaced apart from the area where the head part 1103 of the body massage part 1100 interferes when the arm massage part 1200 is rotated is shown. Figure 11 The arm massage part 1200 is moved from the body massage part 1100 in the height direction or / and the width direction to be spaced apart from the body massage part 1100. That is, the arm massage part 1200 is spaced apart from the body massage part 1100 based on the angle formed by the actuator 1310 and the body massage part 1100. More preferably, the transfer unit 1300 is provided with one end fixed to the main frame and the other end located at the arm massage part frame 1210, and is controlled to be elongated or contracted in the length direction in response to the driving command of the control part. Here, the control part is controlled to drive the transfer unit 1300 in advance in response to the rotation command of the arm massage part 1200.

[0194] The arm massage part 1200 is moved from the body massage part 1100 in the height direction or / and the width direction to be spaced apart from the body massage part 1100. That is, the arm massage part 1200 is spaced apart from the body massage part 1100 based on the angle formed by the actuator 1310 and the body massage part 1100. More preferably, the transfer unit 1300 is provided with one end fixed to the main frame and the other end located at the arm massage part frame 1210, and is controlled to be elongated or contracted in the length direction in response to the driving command of the control part. Here, the control part is controlled to drive the transfer unit 1300 in advance in response to the rotation command of the arm massage part 1200.

[0195] The actuator 1310 of the transfer unit 1300 is elongated in the length direction, so that the arm part massage unit 1200 is separated from the body massage unit 1100. Here, the minimum distance of the elongation amount of the actuator 1310 is set so that the rear end of the arm part massage unit 1200 does not interfere with the side surface of the head part 1103 of the body massage unit 1100 and is rotatable.

[0196] As shown in the drawing, the arm part massage unit 1200 is separated from the body massage unit 1100 by the transfer unit 1300, and after the separation, the arm part massage unit 1200 is rotated by operating the driving part 1420 of the rotation unit 1400. In this case, the arm part massage unit 1200 is provided in a non-interference state around the two side panels of the head part 1103 and is rotated with the rotation axis of the rotation bracket 1410 as a reference without colliding with the adjacent panels.

[0197] In Figure 12 , as another embodiment of the present application, a driving relationship is shown in which the rear end surface of the arm part massage unit 1200 and the inclined part formed on the side surface of the head part 1103 contact each other after the arm part massage unit 1200 is rotated.

[0198] As another embodiment of the present application, the head part 1103 is provided with a surface having a predetermined inclination as an inclined part on the upper surface of both side ends. Therefore, the arm part massage unit 1200 is deployed to the upper end of the body massage unit 1100 by the transfer unit 1300, and is provided to be rotated by the driving part 1420 of the rotation unit 1400 after the deployment.

[0199] Here, the rear end of the arm part massage unit 1200 includes a flat surface structure corresponding to the inclined part of the head part 1103, and in the state that the arm part massage unit 1200 is maximally rotated and deployed, it is switched to a state in which the inclined part and the back surface of the arm part massage unit 1200 face each other.

[0200] Therefore, the arm part massage unit 1200 which faces the inclined part is provided so that it can be prevented from rotating more than the rotation limit amount even in the case that current is continuously applied to the driving part 1420. Here, the inclined part can be provided to have an inclination angle corresponding to the rotation amount of the arm part massage unit 1200, and can be provided to have an angle corresponding to the angle formed with the rear end of the arm part massage unit 1200 when the arm part massage unit 1200 is maximally rotated.

[0201] As described above, the present application provides a structure in which the arm part massage unit 1200 is rotated after being deployed in the upward direction or / and the width direction from the body massage unit 1100, and provides a massage device capable of limiting the position of the arm part massage unit 1200 which is rotated.

[0202] The technical idea of the present application is described above in connection with the drawings, but this is only to illustrate the preferred embodiments of the present application and does not limit the present application. In addition, those skilled in the art to which the present application pertains should understand that various modifications and imitations can be made without departing from the technical idea of the present application.

[0203] In addition, the structure and function of the massage device of the present specification can be extended and applied to various (wearable) health devices that can provide health functions (e.g., massage functions, biological signal measurement functions, etc.). Accordingly, the "massage device" of the present specification can be described by replacing it with a "(wearable) health device".
