[0230] Thus, it stably contacts and supports the other side opposite to one side of the shaft housing body 2151, which is fixed in position by the fastening member 2155.

[0231] Reference Figures 6 to 8 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fastening member 2155 fastens the shaft housing body 2151 and the hinge bracket portion 1150, and can pass through the fastening hole 2153 formed in the shaft housing body 2151 and the hole 1152 formed in the hinge bracket portion 1150, thereby fastening the shaft housing body 2151 and the hinge bracket portion 1150 simultaneously.

[0232] On the other hand, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the fastening member 2155 fastens the shaft housing body 2151 and the central support portion 4110 of the central support portion 4100, and can pass through the fastening hole portion 2153 formed in the shaft housing body 2151 and the bridge hole portion 4116 formed in the bridge portion 4115 provided in the central support portion 4110, and fasten the shaft housing body 2151 and the central support portion 4110 at the same time.

[0233] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fastening member 2155 can be formed by a bolt. However, it is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical concept of fastening the shaft housing body 2151 to the hinge bracket portion 1150 and / or the central bracket portion 4110.

[0234] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fastening member 2155 can be configured separately from the hinge shaft 2110 inserted into the insertion groove 2152 formed in the shaft housing body 2151.

[0235] That is, when the fastening hole 2153 formed in the shaft housing body 2151 is arranged separately from the insertion groove 2152, the fastening member 2155 passing through the fastening hole 2153 is also arranged separately from the insertion groove 2152, thereby being separated from the hinge shaft 2110 that can be inserted into the insertion groove 2152.

[0236] Thus, with the shaft housing body 2151 fixed to the hinge bracket portion 1150 and / or the center bracket portion 4110 on one side, the hinge shaft 2110 inserted in the insertion groove portion 2152 formed on the other side opposite to the said side can rotate freely while separated from the fastening member 2155.

[0237] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the leg base portion 2200 is coupled to the hinge shaft 2110 and can rotate together with the hinge shaft 2110.

[0238] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The leg base 2200 can receive the power generated by the hinge drive 2700 and can be hinged (rotated) with the longitudinal central axis of the hinge shaft 2110 as the hinge central axis AX1.

[0239] Reference Figure 5 The leg base portion 2200 can rotate relative to the hinge support portion 1150 of the leg connecting frame 1121 connected to the frame portion 1100, with the longitudinal central axis of the hinge axis 2110 as the hinge central axis AX1.

[0240] That is, since the shaft housing portion 2150 for inserting and connecting the hinge shaft 2110 is fixedly provided in the hinge bracket portion 1150, the longitudinal central axis of the hinge shaft 2110 can be fixed, and the leg base portion 2200 can hinge (rotate) relative to the frame portion 1100 at a preset angle with the longitudinal central axis of the hinge shaft 2110 as the hinge central axis AX1.

[0241] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 A leg massage body 2300 may be provided in the leg base 2200.

[0242] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a leg massage body 2300 is used to accommodate a user's legs, wherein a massage module (not shown) may be provided.

[0243] Thus, the leg massager body 2300 is inserted into the user's leg and provides massage function to the user's leg through the massage module.

[0244] As an optional embodiment, the leg massage body 2300 can move on the leg base 2200. Specifically, when the leg massage body 2300 moves toward the user's body side, the user's knee remains pulled toward the user's body side, which can increase the length of the leg and thus have the effect of increasing hip stretching.

[0245] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the leg base portion 2200 is coupled to the hinge shaft 2110, and when the leg base portion 2200 receives power from the hinge drive portion 2700, the longitudinal central axis of the hinge shaft 2110 is rotated as the hinge central axis AX1, and the hinge shaft 2110 can also rotate together.

[0246] As an optional embodiment, the hinge shaft 2110 can be rotatably connected to the leg base portion 2200 with its longitudinal central axis as the central axis. That is, even if the leg base portion 2200 rotates by receiving power from the hinge drive portion 2700, the hinge shaft 2110 can remain in a non-rotating state.

[0247] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sensor unit 4000 may further include a central support unit 4100.

[0248] The central support 4100 is positioned between multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B and can support the leg massage units 2000.

[0249] Specifically, the central support portion 4100 can contact and support the leg massage portion 2000 together with the hinge bracket portion 1150. The central support portion 4100 can simultaneously contact and support each opposite end of the plurality of leg massage portions 2000A, 2000B.

[0250] The central support 4100 is disposed between multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B, and can simultaneously contact and support each end of the multiple adjacent leg massage units 2000A and 2000B.

[0251] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the central support portion 4100 can be disposed at the center of the leg connecting frame 1121.

[0252] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the central support portion 4100 can be formed as a single component and can simultaneously contact and support different leg massage portions 2000A and 2000B.

[0253] However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made. For example, the central support 4100 includes multiple central support bodies, which respectively contact and support the different leg massage parts 2000A and 2000B.

[0254] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 9and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the central support portion 4100 may include a central bracket portion 4110, a safety sensor portion 4130, and a contact portion 4150.

[0255] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the central support portion 4110 can be connected to the leg connecting frame 1121 and its position is fixed to the leg connecting frame 1121.

[0256] The central support portion 4110 can be configured among multiple leg massage portions 2000A, 2000B, and can be configured near the center of the leg connecting frame 1121. The housing portion 2150 can be connected to the central support portion 4110, and the hinge shaft 2110 of the leg massage portion 2000 is rotatably inserted into and connected to the shaft housing portion 2150.

[0257] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the central support portion 4110 may include a pair of sidewall portions 4111 and a bridging portion 4115.

[0258] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a pair of sidewall portions 4111 may be provided on both sides of the central support portion 4110 with reference to the center portion of the central support portion 4110, and the pair of sidewall portions 4111 are arranged opposite to each other. A shaft housing portion 2150 may be disposed on the pair of sidewall portions 4111, specifically, a shaft housing body 2151 may be disposed thereon.

[0259] A pair of sidewall portions 4111 are configured relative to each other at a preset distance and are respectively fixed (fixed) to and combined with the leg connecting frame 1121.

[0260] As an optional embodiment, a recessed portion (not shown in the reference numerals) with a groove shape is formed in the side wall portion 4111, and the leg connecting frame 1121 can be inserted into the recessed portion and fastened by bolts or the like.

[0261] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 A groove 4112 is formed on one surface of the side wall portion 4111 facing the shaft housing portion 2150 in the outward direction (specifically in the lateral direction of the shaft housing body 2151).

[0262] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10The groove 4112 formed in the side wall portion 4111 can contact and support the shaft housing portion 2150. Specifically, it can contact and support the outer peripheral surface of the shaft housing body 2151.

[0263] Therefore, it is possible to prevent the shaft housing body 2151, which will be described later, from rotating on the central support portion 4110 with reference to the coupling center axis AX2 of the bridging portion 4115 and the shaft housing body 2151.

[0264] In other words, recesses 4112 for housing the shaft housing portion 2150 can be formed on both sides of a pair of relatively arranged sidewall portions 4111, with reference to their center portions. (See reference...) Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment of the present invention, the sidewall portion 4111 may be connected to a contact portion 4150, which will be described later; specifically, a support shaft 4153 may be connected thereto. The support shaft 4153 can connect a pair of opposing sidewall portions 4111. The support shaft 4153 will be described in detail later.

[0265] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the bridging portion 4115 is used to connect a pair of sidewall portions 4111 that are spaced apart by a preset distance, and the shaft housing portion 2150 can be fixed in position (fixedly set) to the bridging portion 4115.

[0266] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the bridging portion 4115 can be integrally formed with a pair of sidewall portions 4111. However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made, such as separately configured and fastened by bolts.

[0267] In one embodiment of the present invention, a sensor hole 4115h may be formed through the bridging portion 4115. A safety sensor portion 4130, described later, may be provided in the sensor hole 4115h. The sensor hole 4115h may be formed on a surface of the bridging portion 4115 facing the user seated in the massage device.

[0268] Reference Figure 10 In one embodiment of the present invention, a shaft housing portion 2150 may be fixedly positioned on the bridging portion 4115. Multiple shaft housing portions 2150 may be connected to the bridging portion 4115.

[0269] Specifically, multiple shaft housing portions 2150 are connected to bridging portions 4115, and each hinge shaft 2110 of multiple leg massage portions 2000A and 2000B is inserted into multiple shaft housing portions 2150, and the multiple shaft housing portions 2150 are arranged adjacent to each other.

[0270] Reference Figure 10A bridge hole 4116 may be formed through one surface of the bridging portion 4115 facing the shaft housing portion 2150. The bridge hole 4116 may be configured to overlap with the fastening hole 2153 formed in the shaft housing body 2151 of the shaft housing portion 2150.

[0271] A shaft housing body 2151 is disposed on one surface of the bridging portion 4115, and a fastening member 2155 can pass through the fastening hole portion 2153 and the bridging hole portion 4116 to fasten the shaft housing body 2151 and the bridging portion 4115.

[0272] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 The outer peripheral surface of the shaft housing body 2151 is provided with a groove 4112, which is formed on the side wall 4111 of the central support portion 4110 and can be fastened and fixed to the bridging portion 4115 by fastening member 2155.

[0273] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 One surface of the bridging part 4115 facing the shaft housing body 2151 can make surface contact with the shaft housing body 2151.

[0274] That is, one surface of the bridging portion 4115 and one surface of the shaft housing body 2151 are formed to be flat and can make surface contact with each other. As a result, the shaft housing body 2151 can be prevented from rotating on the bridging portion 4115 provided on the central support portion 4110, and can be stably fixed in position (fixed setting) by means of the fastening member 2155.

[0275] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a safety sensor unit 4130 is disposed on a sensor bracket and can detect external forces.

[0276] The safety sensor unit 4130 can control the drive of at least one of the multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B based on external force.

[0277] The safety sensor unit 4130 can control the drive of the leg massage unit 2000 when it is pressed by the user's body or other objects, or it can send a warning to the user.

[0278] Specifically, if an unexpected external force occurs between the multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B, the safety sensor unit 4130 can detect the external force and thereby control the driving of the multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B.

[0279] As an optional embodiment, the safety sensor unit 4130 sends an electrical signal to the control unit 1200, and the control unit 1200 transmits electrical signals to the multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B, thereby controlling the driving of the leg massage units 2000.

[0280] The safety sensor unit 4130 can be configured on the movement path of the contact body 4151, which will be described later.

[0281] Therefore, when an external force is applied to the contact body 4151, the contact body 4151 moves along a preset path and comes into contact with the safety sensor unit 4130 when it moves, so that the safety sensor unit 4130 can detect the external force.

[0282] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the safety sensor unit 4130 can detect external force via a button. However, it is not limited thereto; the safety sensor unit 4130 can be a sensor utilizing a measurement unit for measuring pressure, potential, and optics.

[0283] As an optional embodiment, within the scope of the technical concept that can recognize the rotation or contact of the contact body 4151, the safety sensor unit 4130 can be replaced by various sensors. For example, the safety sensor unit 4130 may include at least one of a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, an LED sensor, a touch sensor, and an electrode sensor.

[0284] When rotation or contact of the contact body 4151 is detected, the safety sensor unit 4130 according to one embodiment of the present invention can transmit an electrical signal to the control unit 1200. When the control unit 1200 receives information from the safety sensor unit 4130 that the contact body 4151 has been contacted as an electrical signal, it can control at least one of the multiple leg massage units 2000A, 2000B and body massage unit 1000 to be activated, or it can activate an alarm unit (not shown).

[0285] This prevents potential safety accidents caused by the user's body being trapped between the multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B and / or between the leg massage units 2000A and 2000B and the body massage unit 1000.

[0286] In addition, it can prevent equipment malfunctions and damage that may occur when other objects besides the user's body are trapped between the multiple leg massage units 2000A, 2000B and / or between the leg massage units 2000A, 2000B and the body massage unit 1000.

[0287] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10According to one embodiment of the present invention, the contact portion 4150 is rotatably connected to the central support portion 4110 and is capable of contacting the safety sensor portion 4130. The contact portion 4150 includes a contact body 4151, a support shaft 4153 and an elastic support portion 4155.

[0288] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the contact body 4151 can rotate around a preset rotation center axis AX3, and can move relative to the central support portion 4110 with the application of an external force, specifically it can rotate relative to the central support portion 4110.

[0289] A safety sensor unit 4130 may be arranged on the rotation path of the contact body 4151 according to one embodiment of the present invention. When the safety sensor unit 4130 is pressed by the contact body 4151, information about the detection of external force can be transmitted to the control unit 1200 as an electrical signal.

[0290] The control unit 1200 can receive electrical signals from the safety sensor unit 4130 and thereby control the driving of the multiple leg massage units 2000A, 2000B and / or body massage units 1000.

[0291] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the width of the contact body 4151 may be wider than that of the central support portion 4110, specifically wider than the distance between a pair of oppositely arranged sidewall portions 4111.

[0292] Therefore, when the contact body 4151 rotates around the rotation center axis AX3 in the direction of the safety sensor part 4130, the contact body 4151 can rotate only until it contacts a pair of side wall parts 4111, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the contact body 4151.

[0293] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the support shaft 4153 is used to form the rotation center shaft AX3 of the contact body 4151, and can connect the center support portion 4110. Specifically, a pair of side wall portions 4111 can be connected.

[0294] The support shaft 4153 is used to form a rotation center axis AX3 for the contact body 4151 of the central support portion 4110, and is capable of rotating in a clockwise and / or counterclockwise direction with respect to the rotation center axis AX3.

[0295] However, this is not the only possibility. Even if the position is fixed to a pair of sidewall portions 4111 without rotation, various modifications can be made, such as rotatably configuring the contact body 4151 on the support shaft 4153.

[0296] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of the present invention, an elastic support portion 4155 is provided on the support shaft 4153 and can provide elastic support for the contact body 4151.

[0297] Specifically, the elastic support portion 4155 is configured to contact the contact body 4151 and to have an elastic restoring force in a second movement direction, which is opposite to the first movement direction of the contact body 4151 toward the safety sensor portion 4130.

[0298] Therefore, when an external force is applied to the contact body 4151 and the contact body 4151 rotates around the preset rotation center axis AX3, the contact body 4151 can contact the safety sensor part 4130. After the external force is removed, the contact body 4151 rotates in a direction separated from the safety sensor part 4130 by the elastic restoring force of the elastic support part 4155, thereby returning to the initial position before the external force was applied.

[0299] Reference Figure 9 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the elastic support portion 4155 can be formed as a coil spring wound around the support shaft 4153, and one side of the elastic support portion 4155 can be kept in contact with the contact body 4151, while the other side of the elastic support portion 4155 opposite to the said side can be kept in contact with at least one of the leg connecting frame 1121 and the central support portion 4110.

[0300] Thus, when the other side of the elastic support portion 4155 is in contact with and fixed in position with at least one of the leg connecting frame 1121 and the central support portion 4110, when an external force is applied, the side of the elastic support portion 4155 that is in contact with the contact body 4151 can move together with the contact body 4151 toward the safety sensor portion 4130.

[0301] Subsequently, if the external force applied to the contact body 4151 is removed, the contact body 4151 will rotate about the rotation center axis AX3 in a direction separated from the safety sensor part 4130 by the elastic restoring force of the elastic support part 4155, so that the contact body 4151 can return to the initial position.

[0302] That is, when the contact body 4151 is rotated by an external force, the elastic support part 4155 can have an elastic restoring force in the opposite direction to the rotation direction of the contact body 4151.

[0303] In a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, since the shaft housing portion 2150 is fixed to the hinge bracket portion 1150, which is fixed to the leg connecting frame 1121, and the hinge shaft 2110 is rotatably connected to the shaft housing portion 2150, a separate cover member is not required to cover the hinge shaft 2110 disposed on the hinge bracket portion 1150. This simplifies the hinge structure of the leg massage portion 2000 in the massage device and makes assembly easier.

[0304] Furthermore, the shaft housing portion 2150, specifically the shaft housing body 2151, is made of plastic material, thus achieving the effect of lightweighting.

[0305] Furthermore, since the hinge shaft 2110 is inserted into the insertion groove 2152 formed at a preset depth in the shaft housing portion 2150, it has the effect of stably holding the hinge center shaft AX1 inside the shaft housing portion 2150.

[0306] Furthermore, the hinge shaft 2110 is inserted into the shaft housing body 2151, and the fastening member 2155 can be used to fasten one side of the shaft housing body 2151 to the hinge bracket portion 1150, thus achieving the effect of easy assembly of the leg massage portion 2000.

[0307] Furthermore, the safety sensor unit 4130 can prevent safety accidents that may occur due to a part of the user's body or other objects being trapped between the leg massage units 2000, as well as malfunctions and damage to the device.

[0308] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.

[0309] Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in this utility model are not intended to limit the technical concept of this utility model, but are for illustrative purposes, and the scope of the technical concept of this utility model is not limited to these embodiments.

[0310] Therefore, the above embodiments should be understood in all respects as exemplary rather than restrictive.

[0311] The scope of protection of this utility model shall be interpreted according to the claims, and all technical ideas within the equivalent scope shall be interpreted as being included within the scope of the rights of this utility model.
