[0127] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper base frame 1131 is movable along the lower base frame 1132. For example, the upper base frame 1131 is movable forward or backward along the lower base frame 1132. In this case, since the main frame is connected to the upper base frame 1131, it can move along with the upper base frame 1131.

[0128] For example, when the upper base frame 1131 moves forward, the main frame can also move forward together; when the upper base frame 1131 moves backward, the main frame can also move backward together. This allows the body massage unit 1000 to slide.

[0129] The control unit 1200 is capable of controlling the operation of the massage device 100. The control unit 1200 may include one processor or multiple processors. When the control unit 1200 includes multiple processors, at least some of the multiple processors may be located at physically spaced distances from each other.

[0130] For example, the control unit 1200 may correspond to one or more processors. The processor may be implemented by an array of multiple logic gates, or by a combination of a general-purpose microprocessor and a memory storing a program executable in the microprocessor. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that other types of hardware can be used to implement this.

[0131] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 1200 can control the operation of the massage device 100.

[0132] For example, the massage device 100 may include a plurality of actuators, and the massage device 100 may control the action of the massage device 100 by controlling the action of the plurality of actuators.

[0241] The first rotating part 5100 can rotate the arm massage part 3000 relative to the body massage part 1000 in the left-right direction (with... Figure 5b Rotate based on (reference).

[0242] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second rotating part 5500 can rotate the arm massage part in the up-down direction relative to the body massage part 1000, with a second rotating center axis AX2 that is different from the first rotating center axis AX1 as a reference.

[0243] That is, the second rotating part 5500 generates rotational power with reference to the second rotation center axis AX2, and can make the arm massage part 3000 relative to the body massage part 1000 in the vertical direction (with... Figure 5a Rotate based on (reference).

[0244] In a rotating module 5000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, a first rotating part 5100 can generate rotational power with reference to a first rotational center axis AX1, and a second rotating part 5500 can generate rotational power with reference to a second rotational center axis AX2.

[0245] However, it is not limited to this and can be implemented in various ways. For example, the first rotating part 5100 generates rotational power based on the second rotational center axis AX2, and the second rotating part 5500 generates rotational power based on the first rotational center axis AX1, etc.

[0246] The following description is based on the following: connected to the main frame 1100, specifically, the first rotating part 5100 connected to the module frame 1150 generates rotational power based on the first rotational center axis AX1, and the second rotating part 5500 generates rotational power based on the second rotational center axis AX2.

[0247] Reference Figure 7 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first rotating portion 5100 and the second rotating portion 5500 can be rotatably coupled relative to each other. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first rotating portion 5100 and the second rotating portion 5500 can be formed identically.

[0248] That is, since the first rotating part 5100 and the second rotating part 5500 have the same structure and can be rotatably combined with each other, it has the effect of simplifying and modularizing the component structure of the arm massage part 3000 relative to the body massage part 1000.

[0249] Reference Figures 6 to 9 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first rotating part 5100 may include a main housing 5110, a rotating body 5130, and a rotating drive part 5150.

[0250] Specifically, the first rotating part 5100 may include: a main housing 5110, which can be disposed in the body massage part 1000; a rotating body, which is rotatably disposed in the main housing 5110; and a rotating drive part 5150, which is disposed in the main housing 5110 and receives power and transmits power to the rotating body 5130.

[0251] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8a and Figure 8bThe main outer shell 5110 forms the appearance of the first rotating part 5100 and can be installed in the body massage part 1000, specifically the module frame 1150 in the main frame 1100.

[0252] Reference Figure 7 The main outer shell 5110 can be inserted into the module frame 1150, specifically, into a pair of side frame bodies 1153a and 1153b. That is, the two sides of the main outer shell 5110 (with...) Figure 7 The upper and lower surfaces (based on the reference) can be contacted and supported by a pair of side frame bodies 1153a, 1153b.

[0253] Reference Figure 7 One of the two sides of the main shell 5110, which is contacted and supported by a pair of side frame bodies 1153a and 1153b, is (with) Figure 7 The lower surface (based on the reference) can contact and be supported by the base frame body 1151 connected to the module frame 1150, specifically, to the side frame body 1153a.

[0254] Since the first rotating part 5100, specifically the main housing 5110, is connected to the module frame 1150 and is disposed on the main frame 1100, it has the effect of stably fixing the position of the first rotating part 5100.

[0255] In addition, since the pair of side frame bodies 1153a and 1153b contact and support the two sides of the main housing 5110, they have the effect of preventing the main housing 5110 from rotating or deforming.

[0256] Reference Figure 8a , Figure 8b and Figure 9 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main outer shell 5110 may be provided with a rotating body 5130 and a rotating drive unit 5150.

[0257] Reference Figure 11 The stop block 5111 can be formed protrudingly on one side of the first rotating part 5100 that can contact the second rotating part 5500 (to... Figure 9 (Upper surface as reference).

[0258] Figure 11 This shows one side of the second rotating part 5500, which is rotatably connected to the first rotating part 5100. Figure 10 The figure (based on the bottom surface) is prominently formed in the first rotating part 5100. Specifically, the stop 5111 of the main housing 5110 can be provided inside the rotating guide part 5513 which is formed in the shape of a groove.

[0259] That is, when the second rotating part 5500 rotates on the first rotating part 5100, it rotates clockwise and / or counterclockwise with the first rotation center axis AX1 as a reference. With the position of the stop 5111 formed in the first rotating part 5100 fixed, the rotating guide part 5513 moves as the second rotating part 5500 rotates.

[0260] Reference Figure 11 When the stop 5111 protruding from the main housing 5110 of the first rotating part 5100 comes into contact with the two ends of the rotation guide 5513 formed in the second rotating part 5500, the second rotating part 5500 can no longer rotate, thus limiting the amount of rotation (or rotation angle) of the second rotating part 5500 that rotates on the first rotating part 5100.

[0261] Reference Figure 8a , Figure 8b and Figure 9 According to one embodiment of the present invention, on one side of the first rotating part 5100 that can contact the second rotating part 5500 (with... Figure 9 The other side (based on the upper surface) is different (with) Figure 9 On the right side (based on the reference), the rotating joint groove 5115 can be formed in the shape of a groove.

[0262] Specifically, the other side of the first rotating part 5100 can be a surface perpendicular to the first side. Alternatively, the depth-direction center axis of the rotating engagement groove 5115 formed on the other side can be formed parallel to the second rotation center axis AX2 of the second rotating part 5500.

[0263] That is, since the first rotating part 5100 and the second rotating part 5500 have the same structure and can be rotatably coupled to each other, the rotating coupling groove 5115 can be formed in the first rotating part 5100 in the shape of a groove so that it can be inserted into the rotating body of any rotating part that generates rotational power with reference to the second rotational center axis AX2.

[0264] Reference Figure 8a , Figure 8b and Figure 9 On one side of the main housing 5110 that forms the rotational engagement groove 5115, there is a predetermined distance from the center of the rotational engagement groove 5115, and the rotational guide 5113 extends in the circumferential direction in the shape of the groove.

[0265] Since the rotation guide portion 5113 formed in the first rotating portion 5100 has the same structure as the rotation guide portion 5513 formed in the second rotating portion 5500, it will be described in detail later.

[0266] ReferenceFigure 9 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rotating body 5130 is rotatably disposed on the main housing 5110 and can be combined with the second rotating part 5500.

[0267] The rotating body 5130 can penetrate one side of the main housing 5110, and a predetermined area can be exposed to the outside. The area can be combined with the main housing 5510 of the second rotating part 5500.

[0268] The rotating body 5130 can receive power from the rotating drive unit 5150 (described later) and transmit the power to the second rotating unit 5500 connected to the first rotating unit 5100.

[0269] Reference Figure 9 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rotating body 5130 disposed in the first rotating part 5100 can rotate about the first rotating center axis AX1. The rotating body 5130 can be combined with the main outer shell 5510 disposed in the second rotating part 5500.

[0270] Therefore, as the rotating body 5130 rotates, the main outer shell 5510 disposed in the second rotating part 5500 can rotate together, and as the main outer shell 5510 rotates, the arm massage part 3000 coupled with the second rotating part 5500 can rotate clockwise and / or counterclockwise with respect to the first rotation center axis AX1. Figure 5b (Based on the left and right directions).

[0271] Reference Figure 5b According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pair of arm massage units 3000A and 3000B can rotate respectively with reference to the first rotation center axes AX1a and AX1b by the rotational power generated by the first rotating unit 5100.

[0272] For example, when a pair of arm massage units 3000A and 3000B rotate in opposite directions relative to each other about the first rotation center axes AX1a and AX1b, the pair of arm massage units 3000A and 3000B can move closer to each other to be positioned on the seat portion 1000a formed on the body massage unit 1000, such as... Figure 5b As shown, they can move away from each other in the direction of the outer side of the body massage section 1000.

[0273] As an optional embodiment, a pair of arm massage units 3000A and 3000B can rotate in the same direction relative to each other with the first rotation center axes AX1a and AX1b as a reference.

[0274] As an optional embodiment, the pair of arm massage units 3000A and 3000B can be driven independently.

[0275] Although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the rotating body 5130 disposed in the first rotating part 5100 can be inserted into the rotating engagement groove 5515 formed in the main housing 5510, which is disposed in the second rotating part 5500.

[0276] Therefore, as the rotating main body 5130 provided in the first rotating part 5100 rotates, the main outer shell 5510 provided in the second rotating part 5500 can also rotate together.

[0277] Reference Figure 8a and Figure 8b According to one embodiment of the present invention, a rotary drive unit 5150 is provided in the main housing 5110 and transmits power to the rotary body 5130 by receiving power from the outside.

[0278] Reference Figure 8a and Figure 8b The rotary drive unit 5150 may include a drive unit 5151 and a power transmission unit 5153. The drive unit 5151 generates power and may be configured as a motor. The drive unit 5151 can generate rotational power by receiving power from an external source and can transmit it to the power transmission unit 5153.

[0279] Reference Figure 8a and Figure 8b According to an embodiment of the present invention, the power transmission unit 5153 may include at least one gear. Specifically, the power transmission unit 5153 includes a plurality of gears 5153a, 5153b, and 5153c, which can transmit power generated from the drive unit 5151 to the rotating body 5130.

[0280] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the gears 5153a, 5153b, and 5153c provided in the power transmission section 5153 can be formed as worm gears and helical gears, etc.

[0281] Reference Figure 8a and Figure 8b The first gear 5153a, which is combined with the drive unit 5151, can be formed as a worm gear, and the second gear 5153b, which is connected to the first gear 5153a, can be formed as a gear that integrates a helical gear and a worm gear.

[0282] In addition, the third gear 5153c connected to the second gear 5153b can be formed as a helical gear with the first rotation center axis AX1 as the rotation center axis, and the first rotation center axis AX1 is the rotation center axis of the rotating body 5130.

[0283] However, it is not limited to this. Within the technical concept of being able to transmit the power generated by the drive unit 5151 to the rotating body 5130, various modifications can be made. For example, the power transmission unit 5153 can adopt a power transmission method of various gears such as rack and pinion.

[0284] Although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the rotating body 5130 may include a shaft that can be connected to a gear 5153c disposed in the power transmission section 5153. Therefore, power generated from the drive unit 5151 can be transmitted to the rotating body 5130 through the power transmission section 5153.

[0285] Reference Figure 8a , Figure 8b and Figure 9 When the power generated from the rotary drive unit 5150 is transmitted to the rotary body 5130, the rotary body 5130 can rotate clockwise and / or counterclockwise with reference to the first rotation center axis AX1, and the main housing 5510 of the second rotary unit 5500, which is combined with the rotary body 5130, can rotate together.

[0286] like Figure 5b As shown, as the main outer shell 5510 of the second rotating part 5500 rotates, the arm massage part 3000, which is coupled to the second rotating part 5500, specifically, the arm outer shell part 3100 can be positioned relative to the body massage part 1000 in the left-right direction with reference to the first rotation center axis AX1. Figure 5b Rotate based on (reference).

[0287] That is, the arm massage unit 3000a that accommodates the user's right arm can rotate relative to the body massage unit 1000 in the left-right direction with reference to the first-1 rotation center axis AX1a.

[0288] Similarly, the arm massage unit 3000b that accommodates the user's left arm can rotate relative to the body massage unit 1000 in the left-right direction with reference to the first-second rotation center axis AX1b, which is set parallel to the first-first rotation center axis AX1a.

[0289] Reference Figures 6 to 11 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second rotating part 5500 may include a main housing 5510, a rotating body 5530 and a rotating drive part 5550.

[0290] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 8a and Figures 9 to 11 The main housing 5510 forms the appearance of the second rotating part 5500 and can be disposed on the main housing 5110 in the first rotating part 5100.

[0291] Reference Figure 9The main housing 5510 can be disposed on the main housing 5110 of the first rotating part 5100.

[0292] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 9 The rotational engagement groove 5515 can be formed in the shape of a groove on one side of the main housing 5510 of the second rotating part 5500, which faces the main housing 5110 of the first rotating part 5100. Figure 10 (Based on the lower surface).

[0293] Specifically, one side of the main housing 5510 can be a side perpendicular to the other side where the rotating body 5530 is disposed.

[0294] On the other hand, the depth direction center axis of the rotational engagement groove 5515 formed on the said surface can be formed to be the same as the first rotational center axis AX1 of the rotational center axis of the rotational body 5130 provided in the first rotational part 5100.

[0295] That is, since the second rotating part 5500 and the first rotating part 5100 have the same structure and can be rotatably coupled to each other, the rotating coupling groove 5515 can be formed in the second rotating part 5500 in the shape of a groove so that the rotating body 5130 provided in the first rotating part 5100 which generates rotational power based on the first rotational center axis AX1 can be inserted into the rotating coupling groove 5515.

[0296] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 11 On one side of the main housing 5510 that forms the rotational engagement groove 5515, there is a predetermined distance from the center of the rotational engagement groove 5515, and the rotational guide 5513 extends in the circumferential direction in the shape of the groove.

[0297] Reference Figure 9 The rotation guide 5513 can be formed by extending along the circumferential central axis L1.

[0298] Reference Figure 11 Although the rotating body 5130 of the first rotating part 5100, which is inserted into the rotating engagement groove 5515 of the second rotating part 5500, is obscured and not shown, a stop 5111 can be formed on one side of the main housing 5110 on which the rotating body 5130 of the first rotating part 5100 is rotatably disposed.

[0299] Reference Figure 11 When the first rotating part 5100 and the second rotating part 5500 are connected, the stop 5111 provided in the first rotating part 5100 can be provided inside the rotating guide part 5513 formed on the main housing 5510 of the second rotating part 5500.

[0300] Reference Figure 7 When the second rotating part 5500 rotates on the first rotating part 5100, it can rotate clockwise and / or counterclockwise with the first rotation center axis AX1 as a reference.

[0301] At this time, with the position of the stop 5111 formed in the first rotating part 5100 fixed, the rotating guide part 5513 moves relative to the second rotating part 5500 as it rotates.

[0302] It has the following effect: when the stop block 5111 protruding on the main housing 5110 of the first rotating part 5100 contacts the two ends of the rotation guide part 5513 formed on the second rotating part 5500, the second rotating part 5500 can no longer rotate, so the amount of rotation (or rotation angle) of the second rotating part 5500 rotating on the first rotating part 5100 can be limited.

[0303] Reference Figure 9 and Figures 7 to 9 The stop block 5511 can protrude outward and is formed on one side of the main housing 5510. A rotating body 5530 of the second rotating part 5500, which is inserted into the arm massage part 3000 and specifically formed in the groove of the arm housing part 3100, is provided on one side of the main housing 5510.

[0305] Reference Figure 8b , Figure 9 and Figures 7 to 10 When the arm housing 3100 rotates on the second rotating part 5500, it rotates clockwise and / or counterclockwise with the second rotation center axis AX2 as a reference. With the position of the stop 5511 formed in the second rotating part 5500 fixed, the rotation guide 3105 moves with the rotation of the arm housing 3100.

[0306] The effect is that when the stop block 5511 protruding on the main housing 5510 of the second rotating part 5500 contacts the two ends of the rotating guide part 3105 formed on the arm housing part 3100, the arm housing part 3100 can no longer rotate, thus limiting the amount of rotation (or rotation angle) of the arm massage part 3000 rotating on the second rotating part 5500.

[0307] Reference Figure 9In one embodiment of the present invention, the main housing 5510 may be provided with a rotating body 5530 and a rotating drive unit 5550.

[0314] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a pair of arm massage units 3000A and 3000B can rotate in the same direction relative to each other with reference to the second rotation center axes AX2a and AX2b.

[0315] However, this is not the only possibility. The pair of arm massage units 3000A and 3000B can rotate in opposite directions relative to each other, using the second rotational central axes AX2a and AX2b as a reference. In this case, the pair of arm massage units 3000A and 3000B can rotate relative to the body massage unit 1000 in different directions and provide a stretching function. (See reference...) Figure 8a The rotating body 5530 provided in the second rotating part 5500 can be inserted into the groove formed in the arm housing part 3100.

Specifically, the power transmission unit 5553 includes a plurality of gears 5553a, 5553b, and 5553c, which can transmit power generated from the drive unit 5551 to the rotating body 5530.

[0320] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the gears 5553a, 5553b, and 5553c provided in the power transmission section 5553 can be formed as worm gears, helical gears, etc.

[0323] However, it is not limited to this. Within the technical concept of being able to transmit the power generated by the drive unit 5551 to the rotating body 5530, various modifications can be made. For example, the power transmission unit 5553 can adopt a power transmission method of various gears such as rack and pinion.

[0324] Although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the rotating body 5530 may include a shaft that can be connected to a gear 5553c disposed in the power transmission section 5553. Therefore, power generated from the drive unit 5551 can be transmitted to the rotating body 5530 through the power transmission section 5553.

[0325] Reference Figure 8b , Figure 9 and Figure 5a When the power generated from the rotary drive unit 5550 is transmitted to the rotary body 5530, the rotary body 5530 can rotate clockwise and / or counterclockwise with reference to the second rotation center axis AX2, and the arm housing 3100 combined with the rotary body 5530 can rotate together.

The arm massage unit 3000 is rotated with each of the plurality of rotating central axes AX1, AX2 as a reference, so that the arm massage unit 3000 can rotate in the up-down direction and / or the left-right direction, thus having the effect of providing various arm massage functions to the user.

[0330] Furthermore, since the first rotating part 5100 and the second rotating part 5500 have the same structure and can be rotatably combined, they have the effect of simplifying and modularizing the component structure of the arm massage part 3000 relative to the body massage part 1000.

Therefore, it is natural that the massage device 100 of the present invention may be further equipped with additional features depending on the implementation method. Figure 1 Other structures besides the one shown, such as a body massage unit 1000 that accommodates at least a part of the user's body and massages the user's body (see reference). Figure 1 (etc.) or a leg massage unit 2000 connected to the body massage unit 1000 and massaging the user's legs (see reference). Figure 12 etc.

[0339] Before the detailed description of this utility model, the massage device 100 according to this utility model can be realized by various combinations of electronic components and parts such as storage units, arithmetic processing units, and input / output units (ASIC, chipset, logic circuit, register, communication modem, CPU, ROM, RAM, etc.).

[0340] therefore, Figure 13 Each component of the massage device 100 shown should be understood as a functionally or logically distinct component, rather than a physically distinct component. Figure 12 Each component of the control unit 140 shown is also the same.

[0341] That is, each constituent element shown in the accompanying drawings corresponds to a logical structure for effectively illustrating the technical concept of the present invention. Therefore, even if each constituent element is integrated or separated, as long as it can perform the function of executing the logical structure of the present invention, it should be understood as being within the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, if it is a constituent element that performs the same or similar function, it should be interpreted as being within the scope of the present invention regardless of whether its name is consistent with its function.

[0342] Furthermore, the control or management method of the massage device according to this utility model can be implemented as a set of processing or algorithms related to the processing, control, calculation, and input / output of overall data, thus enabling [the device to function]. Figures 1 to 11 The logic structure shown can be combined to achieve this, and it can also be implemented in the form of software driven by devices, computers (or corresponding devices), modules or their substructures.

[0343] An arm massage unit 110, which is part of the structure of the massage device 100 according to the present invention, can be disposed on the side of a body massage unit 1000 for massaging at least a part of a user’s body, and is configured to accommodate the user’s arm and perform massage actions on the accommodated arm in various types and manners.

[0344] The drive module 120 of this invention can be configured to perform functions such as rotating or moving the arm massage unit 110 in one or more directions, or extending or retracting the arm massage unit 110, based on user input signals, internal algorithms such as determining whether preset conditions are met, or the functions of the arm massage unit 100. Of course, the drive module 120 can be designed to be controlled by the control unit 140 of this invention.

[0345] Since the specific structure of the arm massage part 110 described in this embodiment can be compared with the above reference... Figure 12The arm massage unit 300 described herein corresponds to each other, therefore the above description is used instead of detailing the structure, operation, control, etc. of the arm massage unit 110. The drive module 120 described in this embodiment also corresponds to the drive module unit or rotation module unit 5000 in the above embodiments, and is therefore the same.

[0346] When the arm stretching mode is started, for example, when the user selects the arm stretching mode, the control unit 140 of this utility model controls and outputs guidance information about the arm stretching mode.

[0347] Depending on the implementation, the control unit 140 of this utility model can be configured to output a control signal for controlling output guidance information to the interface unit 160 when the arm stretching mode starts (S100).

[0348] When a control signal is input to the interface unit 160, the interface unit 160 of this invention outputs guidance information (S110) based on the control signal to guide the application of a force in a first direction to the arm housed in the arm massage unit 110.

[0349] like Figure 15 As shown, the interface 160 of this invention can be composed of one or more of a tactile unit 161, a screen display unit 162, and an audio unit 163. Therefore, the guidance information can be displayed on one or more auditory and visual media by driving the screen display unit 162 and / or the audio unit 163, and the tactile medium can also be driven simultaneously to attract attention and improve user cognition.

[0350] As described below, the first direction relative to the direction of the applied force can be a direction based on the vertical direction (up and down), the direction based on the horizontal direction (left and right), or the direction based on a three-dimensional space combining the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0351] In addition, the massage device 100 according to the present invention may include a plurality of arm massage parts 110, 3000. As described in the above embodiments, the left and right arm massage parts may be configured to move independently or relative to each other.

[0352] Therefore, the first direction can be a common direction for each arm massage unit 110, a direction symmetrical to each other for each arm massage unit 110, or a direction different from each other. For example, the guidance information can be information that guides both arms to apply force upwards (downwards), information that guides both arms to apply force in the opening direction, information that guides both arms to apply force in the closing direction, or information that guides the left arm (right arm) to apply force upwards and the right arm (left arm) to apply force downwards, etc.

[0353] When the guidance information is output as described above, the control unit 140 of this utility model can control the drive module 120 to enable the arm massage unit 110 to rotate or move in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction (hereinafter referred to as "arm stretching mode").

[0354] According to the embodiment, the control unit 140 of this utility model can be configured to generate a control signal (S150) for controlling the arm massage unit 110 to rotate or move in the second direction when outputting guidance information, and output the generated control signal to the drive module 120 (S160).

[0355] When a control signal is input from the control unit 140, the drive module 120 of this invention causes the arm massage unit 110 to rotate or move in a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction guided to the user by the guidance information (S170).

[0356] As described above, when the arm massage unit 110 rotates or moves in the opposite direction to the direction in which the user applies force induced by the guidance information, appropriate resistance or load is formed in the arm. Furthermore, the arm massage unit 110 rotates or moves in the opposite direction to the applied force, thereby naturally inducing resistance to rotation or movement in the arm. This can strengthen or maintain appropriate muscle tension, thereby further improving the effect of arm stretching.

[0357] When the user does not actually apply force in the first direction or applies a force smaller than the reference value in the first direction, and the arm massage unit 110 rotates or moves in the second direction, the user's arm can move passively or dependently in response to the rotation or movement of the arm massage unit 110. Therefore, the aforementioned arm stretching effect may not be apparent or may be reduced.

[0358] Therefore, preferably, the control unit 140 of this invention controls the execution of the arm stretching mode only when the force in the first direction is detected by using the detection signal input from the detection sensor 130 that detects the force applied by the arm, or when the force in the first direction is above a reference value.

[0359] When the user's arm is accommodated in the arm massage unit 110, and the user applies force to move the user's arm (one or more of the left and right arms) in a specific direction (e.g., upward), the force is applied to the arm massage unit 110 through the user's arm. As described above, the detection sensor 130 of this invention can be configured to detect the force applied by the user's arm.

[0360] Therefore, the detection sensor 130 of this invention can be set at various positions (up, down, left, right, etc.) of the arm massage part 110 to effectively detect the direction of the force (hereinafter referred to as "external force") applied by the user's arm.

[0361] According to the embodiments, the detection sensor 130 of this utility model can also be set in the rotation or movement drive module 120 of the massage part 110 of the drive arm, etc.

[0362] When a force is applied to the arm massage unit 110, a load is generated in the motor, actuator, gear, power transmission unit, etc. of the drive module 120 that drives the rotation or movement of the arm massage unit 110. Therefore, the characteristics (magnitude, direction, etc.) of the force applied by the user's arm can also be detected by measuring or detecting this load. Other embodiments of the detection sensor 130 and the specific details of the detection sensor 130 will be described later.

[0363] As described above, the detection sensor 130 of this invention detects external force (S120) and can be configured to output a detection signal (S130) corresponding to the characteristics (magnitude and direction) of the detected external force.

[0364] The control unit 140 of this invention analyzes (parsing) the input detection signal to grasp the characteristics (magnitude, direction, etc.) of the external force (S140), generates a control signal (S150), causes the arm massage unit 110 to rotate or move in the opposite direction (second direction) to the direction of the external force (first direction), and outputs it to the drive module 120 (S160).

[0365] When a control signal is input to the drive module 120 (S160), the drive module 120 of this invention rotates or moves the arm massage part 110 in the opposite direction to the direction of the external force based on the input control signal (S170).

[0366] As described above, in order to more effectively realize the arm stretching mode according to the present invention, the control unit 140 of the present invention can control the arm stretching mode only when the force in the first direction is detected.

[0367] If the direction of the detected external force is different from the direction of the guidance, the control unit 140 of this invention can control the output of guidance information via the control interface unit 160. Therefore, information such as the first direction in the guidance information can be stored in the control unit 140 for use.

[0368] Depending on the implementation, when an external force is detected in a direction different from the guiding information, the control unit 140 of this invention can preferentially reflect the user's intention to control the arm massage unit 110 to rotate or move in the opposite direction to the detected external force. In this case, preferably, to prevent safety accidents, the control unit 140 of this invention controls and outputs appropriate information regarding the direction of the arm stretching mode.

[0369] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 is configured to not only have the original function of providing massage to the arm as described above, but also to provide an arm stretching mode by using the arm massage unit 110, which is a rotatable or movable hardware object, to rotate or move the arm massage unit 110 in the direction opposite to the direction of the force applied by the user.

[0370] Figure 15 This is a flowchart illustrating the processing procedure of one embodiment of the present invention. As described above, the control unit 140 of the present invention controls the interface unit 160 to output guidance information that guides the application of force in a first direction (S200).

[0371] According to the embodiment, when a user selects a specific arm stretching mode through the user input unit 1400 of the above embodiment, the control unit 140 of this invention can control the output of the guidance information. However, even in this case, the control unit 140 of this invention can control the output of the guidance information or equivalent information to attract attention, confirm information, etc.

[0372] As described above, the arm stretching mode can be driven only when a force in the first direction is detected by the detection sensor 130 after outputting guidance information, etc. (S210) (S220).

[0373] In order to further improve the arm stretching effect, the control unit 140 of this invention can also control the start of the arm stretching mode only when the magnitude of the detection signal input from the detection sensor 130 is above the reference value.

[0374] In addition, in order to organically combine the resistance intensity of arm muscles with the arm stretching mode, when a force above a certain value is detected or the user selects a high-intensity arm stretching mode, the control unit 140 of this utility model can control the drive module 120 so that the speed at which the arm massage unit 110 rotates or moves in the second direction is proportional to the detection signal (S225).

[0375] In order to accurately reflect the temporal trend of the user's external force changing over time, after the arm stretching mode is started, that is, when the arm massage unit 110 is rotating or moving, when the magnitude of the detection signal input from the detection sensor 130 is below the first reference value (S230), the control unit 140 of this utility model controls to stop the rotation or movement of the arm massage unit 110 (S250).

[0376] In this case, in order to improve the actual effect of arm stretching and to maintain arm stretching continuously, a step of outputting guiding information to induce or encourage stronger external force (S240) can be added. Even after outputting such guiding information, if the detection signal, i.e., the magnitude of the external force, is still less than the first reference value, the control unit 140 of this invention can control the rotation or movement of the arm massage unit 110 to stop (S250).

[0377] If the arm stretching mode continues even though the magnitude of the external force is less than the first reference value, there may be a risk of injury or safety accidents. Therefore, as described above, when the magnitude of the external force is less than the first reference value, it is preferable to set the rotation or movement of the arm massage unit 110 to stop.

[0378] In this regard, the first reference value is reference information used to induce actual arm stretching effects, etc., and can be set in a changeable manner using user characteristic information (gender, age, weight, height, etc.) that can be DBified in the storage unit 1300 of the above embodiment, and can also be set by user selection or input.

[0379] Depending on the implementation, when the magnitude of the detection signal (magnitude of the external force) remains above a first reference value, and the magnitude of the detection signal gradually decreases or approaches the first reference value, the control unit 140 of this utility model can control the interface unit 160 to output guidance information such as encouraging arm stretching mode.

[0380] Preferably, Figure 13 The control processing settings of this utility model are configured to apply cyclically if preset termination conditions (S260) such as login / logout, forced termination, system shutdown, or emergency occurrence are not met.

[0381] On the other hand, this can also be done based on the user's characteristics (age, gender, body proportions, etc.). Depending on conditions such as frozen shoulder, elbow injury, or the muscle area where pain or muscle soreness occurs, there may be positions or postures that require concentrated arm stretching.

[0382] For example, if discomfort or pain occurs in the arm starting from a point 60 degrees above and below (vertically) based on the rotation angle of the arm massage unit 110, then preferably, the arm stretching mode is only performed in the area where the rotation angle of the arm massage unit 110 is 60 degrees or more.

[0383] Therefore, the control unit 140 of this utility model can control the arm stretching mode to be performed only when the current angle of the arm massage unit 110 is above the reference angle or the current position is above the reference position.

[0384] The reference angle can be set based on the upward or outward increase of the rotation angle of the arm massage unit 110. However, depending on the situation, if the user experiences discomfort or pain when lowering or bringing the arm inward, the reference angle can also be set based on the downward or inward direction of the rotation angle. Similarly, the reference position refers to a specific position during the arm stretching mode.

[0385] Since the reference angle and reference position can be based on user-personalized information, the first reference value described above can be set using user characteristic information (gender, age, weight, height, etc.) that can be stored in a database such as the storage unit 1300, and can also be set by the user through selection or input via the user input unit 1400, etc.

[0386] Figure 12 It is shown Figure 16 The diagram shows a block diagram of a specific structure of one embodiment of the control unit 140. Figure 13 This is a flowchart illustrating the processing procedure of another embodiment of the present invention.

[0387] like Figure 13 As shown, the control unit 140 of this utility model may include a receiving unit 141, a main control unit 143, and a history storage unit 145. As described above, Figure 13 Each structure of the control unit 140 shown is a logical structure designed to improve the efficiency of understanding and explaining the technical concept of this utility model.

[0388] like Figure 16 As shown, the drive module 120 may include: a first drive module 120A, which rotates or moves the arm massage unit 110 in the up-down direction (vertical direction); or / and a second drive module 120B, which rotates or moves the arm massage unit 110 in the left-right direction (horizontal direction).

[0389] The detection sensor 130 of this utility model may include: a first sensor 130A for detecting an upward external force (force applied by the arm); a second sensor 130B for detecting a downward external force; a third sensor 130C for detecting a left-side external force; and a fourth sensor 130D for detecting a right-side external force.

[0390] When one or more detection signals from the first to fourth sensors 130A, 130B, 130C, and 130D are input through the receiving unit 141, the main control unit 143, which is a structure of the control unit 140, determines the characteristics (magnitude, direction, etc.) of the external force generated by the user by analyzing (parsing) one or more of the input signals.

[0391] The first to fourth sensors 130A, 130B, 130C, and 130D detect external forces acting in the positive or negative directions based on the vertical and horizontal directions. Therefore, the control unit 140 of this utility model, specifically the main control unit 143, can use these detection signals to specify the correct directional component of the external force.

[0392] When the direction component of the external force is specified as described above and the direction of the external force corresponds to the first direction of the guidance information output by the interface 160, the control unit 140 of this utility model controls one or more of the first and second drive modules 120A and 120B, so that the arm massage unit 110 rotates or moves in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

[0393] As described above, it can be configured to perform subsequent processing such as outputting guidance information for user confirmation, modifying the direction of the arm stretching mode, etc., when the direction specified by the detection signal does not correspond to the first direction in the guidance information.

[0394] According to this embodiment of the present invention, since the arm massage part 110 can be rotated or moved in a three-dimensional direction, it can provide the user with arm stretching modes in almost any direction that the user needs or expects.

[0395] Of course, depending on the implementation, the control unit 140 of this utility model can use the first drive module 120A, the first sensor 130A and the second sensor 130B to provide the arm stretching mode in the up-down direction (vertical direction) or use the second drive module 120B, the third sensor 130C and the fourth sensor 130D to provide the arm stretching mode in the left-right direction (horizontal direction).

[0396] like Figure 17As shown, when a detection signal is input from the detection sensor 130 or when the detection signal input from the detection sensor 130 is greater than the second reference value (S300), the control unit 140 of this utility model can control the airbag 111 provided in the arm massage unit 110 to inflate (S310).

[0397] The second reference value can also be set to be the same as the first reference value mentioned above, that is, the reference value for controlling the rotation of the arm massage part 110 to stop, but it can also be set to a different value depending on the implementation.

[0398] A detection signal input from the detection sensor 130 that is at or above the second reference value means that the user applies a force at or above the appropriate level to the arm. Therefore, in this case, the arm spacing may be relatively large, which may lead to safety accidents such as the arm slipping or the arm exceeding the accommodation range of the arm massage section 110.

[0399] Additionally, when a user applies force above the appropriate level to the arm, the inner surface of the arm massager 110 may be damaged or a wound may occur on the arm.

[0400] Therefore, if the airbag 111 provided in the arm massage section 110 is inflated when the magnitude of the detection signal input from the detection sensor 130 as described above is greater than or equal to the second reference value, the user's arm can be more firmly supported or fixed by the airbag 111, thereby effectively preventing the aforementioned injuries, damages, safety accidents, etc.

[0401] Additionally, if the control arm tightens when the user's external force is above an appropriate level as described above, it indicates that the user is applying a stronger force, thus providing an interest in stretching. Furthermore, since the user's arm is firmly supported, the user can apply even stronger force, thereby doubling the stretching effect.

[0402] From the corresponding perspective, when the magnitude of the detection signal input from the detection sensor 130 is less than the third reference value when the airbag 111 is inflated (S320), the control unit 140 of this utility model can control the airbag 111 to contract (S330).

[0403] The third reference value is a reference external force value that controls the physical support of the arm to become relatively loose when the external force weakens. Of course, the third reference value can have the same magnitude as the second reference value mentioned above, and it can also be set differently from the second reference value through user selection or default setting.

[0404] When the external force decreases as described above, the airbag 111 contracts accordingly, which can also serve as user feedback on the decrease in external force.

[0405] Since the process of controlling the expansion and contraction of the airbag 111 (S300 to S330) can be applied cyclically, the expansion and contraction of the airbag 111 is achieved by a series of time-series processes linked to the magnitude of the detection signal of the detection sensor 130, i.e. the magnitude of the external force exerted by the user.

[0406] On the other hand, when the arm is in a specific direction (e.g., upward) above a critical position, it may be in a posture that is structurally uncomfortable, and the likelihood of inducing pain may be relatively increased.

[0407] In addition, if the arm is strongly squeezed or fixed by the airbag 111 while it is rising above the critical position, the user's arm may be restricted by the airbag 111, making it difficult to make an evasive maneuver in case of a safety issue.

[0408] Therefore, preferably, if the rotation or movement of the arm massage unit 110 is above the reference range (S340), the control unit 140 of this invention can control the airbag 111 to contract (S350).

[0409] On the other hand, when the arm massage unit 110 rotates or moves, the control unit 140 of this utility model can control the expansion of the second airbag 150 provided on the user's shoulder so as to physically support or fix the user's shoulder.

[0410] According to this embodiment of the present invention, since the movement or rotation of the shoulder and arm can be effectively suppressed and they rotate or move together, shoulder injury can be prevented and the arm stretching effect can be further improved.

[0411] Figure 17 This is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of the present invention for performing an arm stretching mode.

[0412] Figure 8a Step S400, which is the processing step of controlling the drive arm stretching mode (the mode in which the arm massage unit 110 rotates or moves in the second direction), corresponds to the above content, so its detailed description will be omitted.

[0413] The control unit 140 of this utility model can control the arm massage unit 110 to perform a stop action (hereinafter referred to as "support mode") at least once during the process of rotating or moving the arm massage unit 110 in the second direction.

[0414] The time period for starting the support mode (e.g., every 15 seconds), the duration of the continuous support mode (e.g., 3 seconds), and the number of times the support mode is repeated (e.g., 3 times) can be variably set according to user characteristic information, or the user can adjust them through the user input unit 1400, etc.

[0415] According to this embodiment of the invention, the tension of the arm muscles can be differentiated in a time series, and changes in the external force applied by the user can be induced, thereby further maximizing the effect of arm stretching.

[0416] Specifically, the control unit 140 of this invention monitors the time elapsed after the start of the arm stretching mode, and when the current time point corresponds to the time cycle of the support mode (S410), the control drive module 120 stops the rotation or movement of the arm massage unit 110 (S420).

[0417] The stopping action lasts for the reference time, and when the duration of the stopping action exceeds the reference time (S430), the control unit 140 of this invention controls the arm stretching mode to be performed again (S400).

[0418] The processing of arm stretching mode (S400) and support mode (stop action) (S420) can be repeated cyclically. When the number of times the support mode is performed corresponds to the set reference number (S440), it can be set to only perform arm stretching mode without support mode or to end arm stretching mode itself.

[0419] Depending on the implementation, when the number of times the support mode is performed corresponds to the set reference number (S440), the control unit 140 of this utility model can control subsequent processing such as returning the arm massage unit 110 to its original position.

[0420] When the arm massage unit 110 returns to its original position, the control unit 140 of this invention can control the output of guidance information about returning to the original position through the interface unit 160.

[0421] At the start or end of the arm stretching mode, and during the arm stretching mode, the history information of interconnected information such as the time (time series) magnitude (magnitude of the detection signal) of the external force detected by the detection sensor 130 and the amount of driving energy consumed by the arm stretching mode can be stored in the history storage unit 145 of this utility model so that it can be used as raw data of the stretching history.

[0422] Information regarding energy consumption can be calculated as a function of the magnitude of the external force, the duration of the external force application, and the user's weight information. Depending on the implementation, information such as calorie consumption and muscle and bone growth may also be included in the resume information.

[0423] Depending on the implementation, the resume information can be configured to be output to the screen display unit 162 or transmitted to the user terminal via a graphical user interface (GUI) environment.

[0424] As described in the above embodiments, the arm massage units 110 and 3000 of this utility model may include a pair of arm massage units 3000A and 3000B, which can respectively accommodate the user's right arm and left arm. As mentioned above, these individual arm massage units 3000A and 3000B can move independently or relative to each other.

[0425] According to the present invention, the massage device 100 is configured with multiple arm massage parts 3000A and 3000B that move independently (including relative movement). Therefore, the above-mentioned processing of the arm stretching mode can be performed independently or in conjunction with each other (whole linkage or partial linkage).

[0426] Therefore, when the external force on the left arm and the external force on the right arm are different from each other, that is, when the detection signals output by the detection sensors 130 respectively installed on the multiple arm massage units 3000A and 3000B are different from each other, the rotation speed or movement speed of each of the multiple arm massage units 3000A and 3000B can be controlled differently from each other.

[0427] According to the implementation, when the detection signals of the detection sensors 130 respectively installed in the multiple arm massage sections 3000A and 3000B are different from each other, the control unit 140 of this utility model controls the output of guidance information through the interface unit 160, so that the user can identify the current state and induce balanced arm stretching.

[0428] As described above, the detection sensor 130 of this invention is configured to detect the force applied by the arm. Of course, various types of sensors can be applied if the force applied by the arm over a period of time can be detected.

[0429] Depending on the implementation, the detection sensor 130 may be a pressure sensor, which is disposed on the inner side of the arm massage part 110 (such as the arm housing part 3100 in the above embodiment), and can detect the force applied to the inner side of the arm massage part 110 when the arm is housed in the arm massage part 110.

[0430] In the attached figure (​ In the example shown, for ease of access to the arm, the arm massage section 110 is shown with an open shape on the inside, but depending on the embodiment, it may be a shape in which a portion, such as the front part, is closed in the inward direction.

[0431] In this case, the first sensor 130A for detecting upward external force can be disposed on the inner upper surface of the arm massage part 110, and the second sensor 130B for detecting downward external force can be disposed on the inner lower surface of the arm massage part 110.

[0432] In addition, a third sensor 130C for detecting external force in the outward direction (left direction when the left arm is taken as a reference) can be provided on the inner left surface of the arm massage unit 110, and a fourth sensor 130D for detecting external force in the inward direction (right direction when the left arm is taken as a reference) can be provided in the front (closed part) portion of the inner right surface of the arm massage unit 110.

[0433] Depending on the implementation, the detection sensor 130 may include a strap that is disposed on the arm massage section 110 and can wrap around the arm, and a directional pressure sensor connected to the end of the strap.

[0434] When the strap is tightened by wrapping around the outer periphery of the arm or when force is applied through the arm while the strap is inserted into the arm, the same external force also acts on the strap. Therefore, the directional pressure sensor connected to the end of the strap can detect the magnitude and direction of the external force.

[0435] On the other hand, when the arm is covered by the airbag 111 provided in the arm massage section 110, and force is applied to the arm in a specific direction, the pressure of the part of the airbag 111 corresponding to the direction of the applied force increases relatively, and the pressure in the opposite direction decreases relatively.

[0436] As described above, the detection sensor 130 of this invention can also be configured to detect the force applied by the arm by using one or more of the location where the pressure change of the airbag 111 occurs and the displacement of that location.
