Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a massage device. Background Technology

[0002] Massage refers to the application of various forms of mechanical stimulation to specific parts of the body, such as kneading, pressing, stretching, patting, or moving a part of the body, to adjust changes in the body, promote blood circulation, and relieve fatigue.

[0003] Due to economic and time constraints, there is an increased demand for massage devices or equipment that provide manual massage functions. Specifically, as the need to relieve stiff muscles and eliminate fatigue or stress through massage increases, various massage devices that offer good time and cost-effectiveness have been introduced.

[0004] Recently, people's interest in health has been increasing, and massage devices have evolved from simply providing massage functions to electronic devices that offer a variety of additional and / or medical functions.

[0005] Therefore, various types of comfortable chairs based on ergonomics are being developed and put into practical use.

[0006] With industrial progress, the time spent sitting at work has gradually increased compared to manual labor, and the situation of sitting in chairs for long periods of time is becoming more and more common. The seat of the chair, due to the padding, compresses the perineum and prostate of the sitter, leading to blood circulation disorders. Therefore, it can cause various diseases such as prostatitis, hemorrhoids, urinary incontinence, and erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, because the buttocks of the sitter are in close contact with the seat and there is no ventilation, it has been pointed out as a factor in the onset of eczema, vaginal diseases, and other conditions caused by sweating in the groin area during the summer.

[0007] On the other hand, human muscles develop through repeated contraction and relaxation, but muscles that do not contract remain relaxed and droop, thus failing to develop. Similarly, when the perineal muscles contract, the related organs develop, but if they are not exercised regularly, they will droop and fail to develop.

[0008] Repeatedly contracting and exercising the muscles around the perineum can treat urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and relieve menopausal symptoms and chronic constipation. Recently, the effectiveness of these perineal muscle contraction exercises has also gained widespread recognition among the general public, even among non-professionals.

[0009] Furthermore, in Eastern medicine, the body possesses an energy circulation system known as meridians. If the body experiences abnormalities, the flow of energy in these meridians stagnates at certain points. As mentioned above, these points where the flow of energy in the meridians is prone to stagnation are called acupoints. Therefore, when there are abnormalities in the body or when it is necessary to improve bodily functions, acupressure is widely used as a means of restoring normal circulation or improving function by stimulating these acupoints.

[0010] This method of applying pressure to acupoints around the perineum at regular intervals is widely known to improve sexual function and relieve menopausal symptoms and chronic constipation. In addition, several devices for applying pressure to these acupoints around the perineum have recently been developed and are in use. Utility Model Content

[0088] The structures of the body massage unit 1000 described above are merely exemplary embodiments. In addition to the aforementioned structures, the body massage unit 1000 may also include a variety of other structures.

[0089] In addition, such as Figure 1 The shape and structure of the massage device 100 shown are merely examples. Various forms of massage devices 100 should also fall within the scope of this utility model without departing from the scope of the claims.

[0090] The body massage unit 1000 can be formed into a space of any shape to accommodate the user. The body massage unit 1000 can have a space with a shape corresponding to the user's body. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, the body massage unit 1000 can be implemented in a seated type that can accommodate the user's whole body or part of the body.

[0091] The portion of the body massage unit 100 that contacts the ground may include any material or component for increasing friction (e.g., an anti-slip mat, etc.) and may include wheels for enhancing the mobility of the massage device 100.

[0092] At least a portion of the body massage unit 1000 can slide. For example, when the body massage unit 1000 begins to massage, at least a portion of the body massage unit 1000 can slide forward. Additionally, the body massage unit 1000 can tilt backward. As a result, the body massage unit 1000 can provide massage while tilted backward.

[0093] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 may include at least one airbag. The airbag may be located in the user's shoulder area, pelvic area, arm massage area 3000, leg massage area 2000, etc., but is not limited thereto, and may be configured in multiple parts of the massage device 100.

[0094] The massage device 100 may include an air supply unit (not shown) that is capable of supplying air to an airbag to inflate it. The air supply unit may be located inside the body massage unit 1000 or in the leg massage unit 2000.

[0095] Additionally, the air supply unit can be located in the arm massage unit 3000.

[0096] Furthermore, the air supply unit can be connected to the lower body massage unit 4000, specifically to the flow path unit 4530 provided in the position adjustment unit 4500. Therefore, the volume of the deformable part 4510 provided in the position adjustment unit 4500 can be deformed and expanded, and it can fit snugly against the user's perineum and sphincter to provide a massage function.

[0097] Alternatively, the air supply unit can be located outside the massage device 100.

[0098] The leg massage unit 2000 can provide leg massage to the user. For example, the leg massage unit 2000 may include a calf massage unit for massaging the user's lower legs and / or a foot massage unit for massaging the user's feet.

[0099] The leg massage unit 2000 can be adjusted in length according to the user's body characteristics. For example, when a tall user uses the massage device 100, the leg massage unit 2000 needs to be longer because of the longer calves. Conversely, when a short user uses the massage device 100, the leg massage unit 2000 needs to be shorter because of the shorter calves. Therefore, the leg massage unit 2000 can provide leg massage tailored to the user's height.

[0100] Reference Figure 1 The leg massage unit 2000 may include multiple leg massage unit bodies (not specified in the attached drawings) so that they can be inserted into the user's left and right feet respectively, and the multiple leg massage unit bodies can be driven independently.

[0101] The massage module 1700 can be disposed inside the body massage unit 1000 to provide mechanical stimulation of any form to the user accommodated in the body massage unit 1000. The massage module 1700 can be positioned along... Figure 1 The frame 1100 inside the body massage unit 1000 shown moves.

[0116] The frame portion 1100 may be a structure that forms the frame of the body massage portion 1000.

[0117] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the frame portion 1100 may include a main frame on which the massage module 1700 is provided and a base frame 1130 for supporting the main frame.

[0118] The main frame (without reference numerals) may include: a back frame 1110 for forming a frame that accommodates the user's upper body; and a seat frame 1120 for forming a seat.

[0119] At least a portion of the main frame may be provided with a rack 1112. The rack 1112 is used to guide the body massage module in the up-down direction (towards...). Figure 2 The movable component (based on) may include multiple valleys and multiple ridges.

[0120] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rack 1112 can be arranged facing each other on both sides of the main frame, specifically the back frame 1110 and the seat frame 1120, and the body massage module can move along the rack 1112.

[0121] For example, the body massage module may include a gear that meshes with the rack 1112, the gear being rotated by an actuator disposed on the body massage module, thereby enabling the body massage module to move up or down.

[0122] The rack 1112 can be made of metal or plastic materials. For example, the rack 1112 can be made of iron, steel, alloy, reinforced plastic, melamine resin, phenolic resin, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0123] The main frame can be implemented in various shapes. For example, the main frame can be classified into S-frame, L-frame, S&L-frame, and double S&L-frame according to its shape, but it is not limited to these.

[0124] An S-frame is a frame in which at least a portion of the main frame has a curved shape like an "S". An L-frame is a frame in which at least a portion of the main frame includes a curved shape like an "L". An S&L frame is a frame in which both the main frame and the frame include curved shapes like an "S" and "L". A double S&L frame is a frame in which both the main frame and the frame include curved shapes like an "L" and two parts that are curved like an "S".

[0125] The base frame 1130 refers to the part of the frame section 1100 that supports the main frame and is in contact with the ground. The base frame 1130 may include an upper base frame 1131 and a lower base frame 1132.

[0126] The upper base frame 1131 can support the main frame, and the lower base frame 1132 can contact the ground. In addition, the upper base frame 1131 can be arranged in a manner that contacts the lower base frame 1132.

[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 and / or backward along the lower base frame 1132. In this case, since the main frame is connected to the upper base frame 1131, it is movable as the upper base frame 1131 moves.

[0128] For example, when the upper base frame 1131 moves forward, the main body frame can also move forward together; when the upper base frame 1131 moves backward, the main body 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 can be implemented by one processor or by multiple processors. When the control unit 1200 is implemented by multiple processors, at least some of the multiple processors can be located at physically spaced distances from each other. Furthermore, the control unit 1200 can be implemented in various ways, without limitation.

[0130] For example, the control unit 1200 may correspond to one or more processors.

[0240] In the plurality of first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c, the gas inflow end can be connected to each other, and said end can be connected to the connecting part 4515. The connecting part 4515 can be connected to the flow path part 4530 and can receive gas Air from the outside.

[0241] The volume deformation rate of the connecting portion 4515 can be relatively lower than that of the first deformable main body portion 4511. Therefore, when the volume of the plurality of first deformable main bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c deforms, the plurality of first deformable main bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c can have a predetermined angle and expand from the area separated from the connecting portion 4515 toward the adjacent area.

[0242] On the other hand, since one end of each of the multiple first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c is connected to each other, they can expand in a fan shape when they expand.

[0243] Therefore, in the first deformable body part 4511, specifically, the cutout 4110 on the upper side of the plurality of first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, 4512c and the first vibration part 4300a form an obtuse angle relative to the area where the cutout 4110 is not formed, and can protrude toward the perineum of the user 10.

[0244] On the other hand, when the volumes of the multiple first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c deform, the cutout 4110 and the first vibration part 4300a provided at the cutout 4110 can rotate clockwise with reference to the connecting line 4115. Figure 6A (Based on) it is raised and protrudes toward the perineum of user 10.

[0245] When the volume of the multiple first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c expands, pressure is applied to the area around the user's perineum to provide a massage function, thereby relaxing the muscles around the perineum.

[0246] Reference Figures 5 to 7 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second deformable main body 4513 can be disposed on the rear side compared with the first deformable main body 4511, and can be disposed on the seat part 4100. Specifically, it can be disposed on the lower side of the area where the cutout part 4110 is not formed.

[0247] Reference Figure 6A and Figure 7 The second deformable main body 4513 may be disposed on the lower side of the second vibration part 4300b.

[0248] On the other hand, when the volume of the second deformable main body 4513 deforms, the position of the area where the notch 4110 is not formed and the position of the second vibration part 4300b disposed in the placement groove 4101b provided in the area can be adjusted. The interior of the second deformable main body 4513 is hollow and can communicate with the connecting part 4515.

[0249] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second modified main body 4513 can be formed as a single unit.

[0250] On the other hand, unlike the first deformable body portion 4511 which is provided with multiple first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, 4512c arranged in a manner that forms multiple layers, the second deformable body portion 4513 can be formed as a single layer.

[0251] When gas is supplied from the air supply section through the flow path section 4530, the second modified main body section 4513 according to an embodiment of the present invention can move along the height direction (with) Figure 6A Based on the baseline, it expands in the vertical direction.

[0252] Therefore, the second vibration part 4300b located on the upper side of the second deformable main body part 4513 can be moved upward (towards). Figure 6A (Based on) the area of ​​the anus near the user 10, specifically, the area in front of the anus, applying pressure and providing stimulation and massage, which can induce effective Kegel and sphincter movements by relaxing the muscles around the anus.

[0253] In this invention, the second deformable main body 4513 is formed as a single unit, but is not limited thereto. Various modifications can be implemented, for example, two or more units can be stacked along the height direction.

[0254] Reference Figure 6A and Figure 7 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting portion 4515 can connect the first deformable main body portion 4511 and the second deformable main body portion 4513, and can connect with the flow path portion 4530 described later.

[0255] Reference Figure 7 Gas is supplied from the air supply section to the main body section through the flow path section 4530. Specifically, gas is supplied to the main body section through the connecting section 4515. The connecting section 4515 connects the first deformable main body section 4511 and the second deformable main body section 4513. Gas supplied through the connecting section 4515 can be supplied to the first deformable main body section 4511, specifically to multiple first deformable main bodies 4512a, 4512b, 4512c and the second deformable main body section 4513.

[0256] Reference Figure 7 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting portion 4515 connects the first deformable main body portion 4511 and the second deformable main body portion 4513, and can be disposed between the first deformable main body portion 4511 and the second deformable main body portion 4513.

[0257] Therefore, the gas supplied from the air supply section to the deformation section 4510 through the flow path section 4530 can be simultaneously supplied to the first deformation main body section 4511 and the second deformation main body section 4513. Conversely, the gas is simultaneously discharged from the first deformation main body section 4511 and the second deformation main body section 4513, and the deformation section 4510 can contract.

[0258] Although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the modified portion 4510 may include valve portions (not shown in the drawings), of which multiple valve portions are provided and respectively disposed on both sides of the communicating portion 4515. The valve portions are electrically connected to the control portion 1200 and can be opened and closed by receiving electrical signals from the control portion.

[0259] Since multiple valves open and close independently, the gas supplied through the connecting part 4515, which is connected to the flow path part 4530, can be simultaneously supplied to the first deformable main body part 4511 and the second deformable main body part 4513, or to either the first deformable main body part 4511 or the second deformable main body part 4513, and the supply flow path to the other can be closed by the valves, thereby blocking the supply.

[0260] Therefore, the user can selectively attach at least one of the first vibrating part 4300a and the second vibrating part 4300b to the perineum and / or the area around the sphincter of the user 10.

[0261] As an optional embodiment, multiple flow paths are formed in the connecting portion 4515, and the multiple flow paths can be connected to multiple first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c respectively. A valve portion (not shown in the figure) can be provided in the multiple flow paths, and the multiple flow paths can be opened and closed by the valve portion receiving an electrical signal from the control portion 1200.

[0262] Therefore, the user can adjust the degree of volume deformation of the first deformable main body 4511, and can also adjust the degree of contact between the first vibrating part 4300a and the perineum of the user 10.

[0263] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6A According to an embodiment of the present invention, the receiving piece 4550 is formed with a receiving portion 4551 into which the deformable portion 4510 can be inserted, thereby restricting the movement of the deformable portion 4510.

[0264] Specifically, the receiving plate 4550 can be fixedly inserted into the position of the deformable portion 4510 of the receiving portion 4551.

[0265] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the receiving piece 4550 can be formed of an elastically deformable material.

[0266] The receiving portion 4551 of the receiving piece 4550 is hollow and can extend along the length direction, and is open on at least one side of the two sides based on the length direction.

[0267] A receiving space CA is formed inside the receiving portion 4551, and the deformable portion 4510 can be inserted into the receiving space CA. The receiving portion 4551 can be formed in the center of the receiving piece 4550 to correspond to the position of the cutout portion 4110 formed in the seat portion 4100 and the plurality of vibrating portions 4300a, 4300b disposed in the mounting groove portion 4101 formed in the seat portion 4100.

[0268] Compared to the region where the receiving portion 4551 is not formed, the receiving portion 4551 formed on the receiving piece 4550 can have a larger elastic deformation rate.

[0269] Therefore, when the deformable portion 4510 of the accommodating space CA formed inside the accommodating portion 4551 receives gas from the air supply portion and deforms (or expands) in volume, it does not act as a resistance, but has the effect of being transmitted to the seat portion 4100 and the multiple vibration portions 4300a and 4300b provided on the seat portion 4100.

[0270] Since the receiving portion 4551 formed on the seat portion 4100 extends in a predetermined direction, the movement of the deformable portion 4510 received in the receiving portion 4551 along the width direction of the receiving piece 4550 can be restricted.

[0271] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 It is located on the lower side of the seat section 4100 (with) Figure 7 The deformed portion 4510 (based on the reference) is located inside the receiving portion 4551 formed in the receiving piece 4550, but for ease of explanation, the receiving piece 4550 and the receiving portion 4551 are omitted.

[0272] In this invention, the vibrating part 4300 provided in the seat part 4100 is positioned by expanding in volume due to gas supplied from the outside via the air supply part through the flow path part 4530, or shrinking in volume as gas is discharged, but is not limited thereto. The first vibrating part 4300a provided on the front side can be tilted at a predetermined angle to fit snugly against the perineum of the user 10, and the second vibrating part 4300b provided on the rear side can be tilted along the height direction (to... Figure 7 Based on this concept, the position of the deformable part 4510 can be adjusted (up and down) to fit closely to the sphincter muscles around the anus of the user 10. Various modifications can be implemented within this technical concept, such as deforming the volume of the deformable part 4510 by supplying discharge fluid.

[0273] Reference Figure 5 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the support portion 4700 is combined with the seat frame 1120 and disposed on the lower side of the seat portion 4100, and is capable of supporting the seat portion 4100.

[0274] Reference Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the frame portion 1100 includes a seat frame 1120, and the seat frame 1120 may include a pair of seat frame 1120 bodies (not specified in the drawings) on both sides with the center of the frame portion 1100 as a reference.

[0275] Although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the massage module 1700 moves along the back of the user seated in the massage device 100. To prevent interference during the movement of the massage module 1700, no separate frame is provided between the main bodies of the pair of seat frames 1120.

[0276] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the support portion 4700 extends along the width direction of the massage device 100 and can be connected to a pair of seat frame 1120 bodies.

[0277] Therefore, the seat part 4100, the vibration part 4300, the position adjustment part 4500, the receiving plate 4550 and the seat cover part 4900 can be stably set on the support part 4700, which can prevent the user 10 from falling between the main bodies of the pair of seat frames 1120 while sitting on the massage device 100.

[0278] The support portion 4700 can be formed of an elastically deformable material. As an alternative embodiment, the support portion 4700 can be formed of a plate shape from a plastic or metal material.

[0279] Reference Figure 5 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the seat cover portion 4900 covers the seat portion 4100 and the vibration portion 4300, and a space that can accommodate the seat portion 4100 and the vibration portion 4300 can be formed inside.

[0280] As an optional embodiment, the seat cover 4900 may accommodate the seat 4100, the vibration part 4300, the deformation part 4510, and the receiving piece 4550.

[0281] The seat cover 4900 can prevent the seat 4100 and the vibration part 4300 from being directly exposed to the outside. The area except for the area where the vibration part 4300 is provided is made of a material with a relatively small elastic deformation rate, so it can stably support the buttocks of the user 10.

[0282] Reference Figure 5 A contact portion 4901 that can contact the user's perineum is formed on the seat cover portion 4900. Compared with the area on the seat cover portion 4900 other than the contact portion 4901, the contact portion 4901 can have a relatively large elastic deformation rate.

[0283] Specifically, the first deformable main body 4511 and the first vibration part 4300a provided on the cut portion 4110 can be located below the contact portion 4901. As the first deformable main body 4511, specifically multiple first deformable main bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c, expand or contract, the first vibration part 4300a protrudes toward the perineum of the user 10 and approaches or returns to its original position and separates. At this time, the elastic deformation rate of the contact portion 4901 is relatively large, so that the position adjustment of the vibration part 4300 through the position adjustment part 4500 can be effectively performed.

[0284] As an optional embodiment, an opening 4905 may be formed in the seat cover portion 4900.

[0285] Reference Figure 6B The opening 4905 formed in the seat cover portion 4900 can be formed at a position corresponding to the vibration portion 4300. Specifically, multiple openings 4905 can be formed to correspond to multiple vibration portions 4300a, 4300b.

[0286] Multiple vibrating parts 4300a and 4300b can be exposed to the outside through the opening 4905, and the vibrations and stimulation generated by the vibrating parts 4300a and 4300b can be directly transmitted to the user. The opening 4905 can be formed into a contact part 4901 formed in the seat cover part 4900.

[0287] The operating principle and effects of the massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as described above, will be explained.

[0288] Reference Figures 1 to 8 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 may include a body massage unit 1000, a leg massage unit 2000, an arm massage unit 3000, and a lower body massage unit 4000.

[0289] Reference Figure 1 User 10 can sit on the massage device 100, specifically on the lower body massage section 4000 located on the seat frame 1120. (See reference...) Figure 5 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lower body massage part 4000 may include a seat part 4100, a vibration part 4300, a position adjustment part 4500, a support part 4700, and a seat cover part 4900.

[0290] In order not to hinder the movement of the massage module 1700, a separate frame is not provided in the seat frame 1120, specifically between a pair of seat frame bodies. Therefore, the support part 4700 connects a pair of seat frame bodies and supports the seat part 4100, the vibration part 4300, the position adjustment part 4500 and the seat cover part 4900 from below.

[0291] Reference Figure 5 The seat cover 4900 is in direct contact with the user 10, and the seat part 4100, the vibration part 4300 and the position adjustment part 4500 can be housed inside the seat cover 4900.

[0292] A cutout 4110 is formed in the seat section 4100 along a predetermined interval, and the area where the cutout 4110 is formed can protrude from the lower side to the upper side through the position adjustment section 4500.

[0293] Specifically, a cutting line 4111 may be formed circumferentially in the cut portion 4110, and the cut portion 4110 may include a connecting line 4115 connecting to a region on the seat portion 4100 where the cut portion 4110 is not formed.

[0294] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 Because of the connecting line 4115, the cut portion 4110 rotates around the connecting line 4115, forming an obtuse angle with the area where the cut portion 4110 is not formed, and can protrude obliquely.

[0295] Multiple vibration parts 4300 are provided, and multiple placement grooves 4101a and 4101b are formed on the seat part 4100. The placement groove 4101a formed on the cut-out part 4110 is provided with a first vibration part 4300a. With the connecting line 4115 as a reference, a second vibration part 4300b can be provided in the placement groove 4101b. The placement groove 4101b is formed on the side opposite to the side where the first vibration part 4300a is provided.

[0296] Figure 9 This is a side sectional view showing a vibration section 4300 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0297] Reference Figure 9 Compared with the vibration part according to one embodiment of the present invention, the structure of the electrode parts 4370a and 4370b of the vibration part 4300 according to another embodiment of the present invention is different. Therefore, the electrode parts 4370a and 4370b will be described in detail below.

[0298] Reference Figure 9 Electrode parts 4370a and 4370b receive power and transmit electrical stimulation to the outside, and can be electrically connected to wire 4350. Electrode parts 4370a and 4370b can be connected to vibrating housings 4310a and 4310b, specifically, they can be disposed on the top of vibrating housings 4310a and 4310b facing the user's body (to...). Figure 9 (Based on).

[0299] Multiple electrode sections are provided, and the multiple electrode sections 4370a and 4370b can be installed in the vibration housings 4310a and 4310b respectively provided in the multiple vibration sections 4300a and 4300b.

[0300] Reference Figure 9 An opening 4905 is formed in the seat cover portion 4900, through which the electrode portions 4370a and 4370b are exposed to the outside of the seat cover portion 4900.

[0301] Therefore, the electrode portions 4370a and 4370b can directly contact the user's lower body, specifically the area around the perineum and anus, and have the effect of transmitting electrical stimulation to the corresponding areas.

[0302] The shape of the opening 4905 formed in the seat cover 4900 can correspond to the shape of the electrode parts 4370a and 4370b.

[0303] Compared with the vibration unit according to one embodiment of the present invention, the vibration unit 4300 according to another embodiment of the present invention has the same structure as the vibration housing 4310a, 4310b, vibration body 4330a, 4330b, and wire 4350, except for the structure of the electrode part. Therefore, detailed description is omitted within the scope of repetition.

[0304] Figure 10 This is a side sectional view showing a vibration section 4300 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0305] Reference Figure 10 Compared with the vibration unit according to one embodiment of the present invention, the vibration housings 4310a and 4310b of the vibration unit 4300 according to another embodiment of the present invention have different structures. Therefore, the vibration housing 4300 will be described in detail below.

[0306] Reference Figure 10 The vibrating housings 4310a and 4310b can contact the seat portion 4100 and can internally house the vibrating bodies 4330a and 4330b. The vibrating housing may include multiple housings that can be separated from and joined together.

[0307] Reference Figure 10 Since the first vibration part 4300a and the second vibration part 4300b have the same structure, the description will be based on the first vibration part 4300a.

[0308] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first vibration housing 4310a may include an upper housing 4311a and a lower housing 4315a.

[0309] The upper housing 4311a is positioned in the direction facing the user's body (with) Figure 10 Based on the upper part (upper side direction), it can be separated from or combined with the lower housing 4315a. The upper housing 4311a and the lower housing 4315a surround the vibrating body 4330a and can transmit the vibration generated by the vibrating body 4330a to the user.

[0310] Reference Figure 10 The upper housing 4311a can be formed as an electrode. The upper housing 4311a can be electrically connected to the wire 4350, and can receive power from the outside and transmit electrical stimulation to the outside through the wire 4350.

[0311] Reference Figure 10 An opening 4905 is formed in the seat cover portion 4900, and the upper housing 4311a formed as an electrode can be exposed to the outside of the seat cover portion 4900 through the opening 4905.

[0312] Therefore, the upper housing 4311a can directly contact the user's lower body, specifically, the area around the perineum and anus, and transmit electrical stimulation to that area.

[0313] The shape of the opening 4905 formed in the seat cover portion 4900 can correspond to the shape of the vibration housing 4310a, specifically, to the shape of the upper housing 4311a.

[0314] The vibration unit 4300 according to another embodiment of the present invention differs from the vibration unit according to the first embodiment in that, except that the vibration housings 4310a and 4310b are separated into multiple housings that can be separated from and combined with each other—specifically, separated into upper housings 4311a and 4311b and lower housings 4315a and 4315b, and the upper housings 4311a and 4311b are formed as electrodes—the vibration bodies 4330a and 4330b and the wire 4350 are the same as those in the vibration unit 4300 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, detailed descriptions are omitted to the extent that they are repeated. (See also...) Figure 5 and Figure 6A According to one embodiment of the present invention, the position adjustment part 4500 may include a deformable part 4510, a flow path part 4530, and a receiving piece 4550. The position adjustment part 4500 may be disposed on the lower side of the seat part 4100 (to... Figure 5 (Based on).

[0315] The deformable part 4510 receives and supplies or discharges gas through the flow path part 4530 connected to the air supply part, thereby expanding or contracting, and thus its volume can be deformed. The deformable part 4510 may include a first deformable main body part 4511 and a second deformable main body part 4513.

[0316] The first deformable main body 4511 can be positioned corresponding to the cutout 4110 where the first vibration part 4300a is located, and can include multiple first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c. The multiple first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c are stacked along the height direction and can be connected on one side.

[0317] Therefore, as gas is supplied to the plurality of first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, 4512c, they tilt and protrude toward the connected side, so that the cutout portion 4110 forms an obtuse angle with respect to the area on the seat portion 4100 where the cutout portion 4110 is not formed, specifically with respect to the area where the second vibration portion 4300b is provided, and the position can be adjusted.

[0318] Therefore, the first vibrating part 4300a can be closely attached to the perineum of the user 10. In addition, as the multiple first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, and 4512c form a stacked structure and expand, the adhesion to the perineum can be improved, and the perineum can be effectively massaged through vibration.

[0319] The second deformable main body 4513 is formed as a single layer. Therefore, as the gas supplied through the flow path 4530 expands, unlike the first deformable main body 4511, the seat portion 4100, specifically the cutout portion 4110, does not protrude obliquely. Instead, it protrudes along the height direction (with...). Figure 7 Based on the vertical direction, it expands and can push the seat part 4100 upwards.

[0320] Therefore, the second vibrating part 4300b placed in the placement groove 4101b can fit closely to the sphincter muscles in the area around the anus of the user 10, and can effectively massage the prostate and sphincter muscles.

[0321] Reference Figure 7 The connecting part 4515 is disposed between the first deformable main body part 4511 and the second deformable main body part 4513, and connects the first deformable main body part 4511 and the second deformable main body part 4513, and can be connected to the flow path part 4530.

[0322] Therefore, gas flowing in from the air supply section through the flow path section 4530 can be simultaneously supplied to the first deformable main body section 4511 and the second deformable main body section 4513, and the first deformable main body section 4511 and the second deformable main body section 4513 can be rapidly expanded.

[0323] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6AThe receiving plate 4550 has a receiving portion 4551, and the deformable portion 4510 can be inserted into the receiving space CA formed by the receiving portion 4551. At this time, the entire or at least a part of the deformable portion 4510 can be inserted into the receiving portion 4551.

[0324] Therefore, the following effects are achieved: the volume of the deformable portion 4510 can be deformed only in the direction toward the seat portion 4100 and the vibrating portion 4300 disposed on the seat portion 4100 by the gas supplied from the air supply portion, and the movement along the width direction of the seat portion 4100 and the receiving plate 4550 is restricted, thereby stably adjusting the position of the vibrating portion 4300. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 has the following effects: the vibrating portion 4300 and / or the position adjustment portion 4500 disposed on the seat portion 4100 provide stimulation to the perineum and anus, thereby inducing Kegel movements and sphincter movements.

[0325] In addition, it has the following effect: when both the vibration part 4300 and the position adjustment part 4500 are included, the position adjustment part 4500 adjusts the position of the vibration part 4300 provided on the seat part 4100, so that the vibration part 4300 is in close contact with the user's perineum and sphincter, and transmits the three-dimensional vibration wave of the vibration part 4300, thereby enabling autonomous Kegel movements.

[0326] In addition, it has the following effect: due to the cutout 4110 formed in the seat part 4100, the vibrating part 4300 provided on the cutout 4110 can protrude and move toward the user's perineum and fit snugly.

[0327] In addition, it has the following effect: since the deformable part 4510 is accommodated in the accommodating part 4551 formed in the accommodating piece 4550, the movement of the deformable part 4510 in the width direction can be restricted and its position fixed.

[0328] Figure 11 This is a block diagram illustrating yet another example of a massage device according to the present invention.

[0329] Reference Figure 11 The massage device 100 according to this utility model may include a body massage unit 1000, a control unit 1200, a massage module 1700, a leg massage unit 2000, a seat unit 4100, a vibration unit 4300, and a deformable unit 4510. Figure 11 The control unit 1200, massage module 1700, leg massage unit 2000, seat unit 4100, and vibration unit 4300 may include Figure 3 The functions of the control unit 1200, massage module 1700, leg massage unit 2000, seat unit 4100, and vibration unit 4300 are explained below. Figure 11The accompanying drawings are provided for the purpose of illustrating other embodiments of the massage device 100 according to the present invention, and only a few necessary components are briefly described. Therefore, in Figure 11 In actual implementation of the massage device 100 according to this utility model, it may also include Figure 3 Other modules described in the text.

[0330] The seat 4100 can support the user's body. As an example, the seat 4100 can be implemented as a chair that can support the user's buttocks, and a vibration part 4300, which will be described later, can be arranged on one side of the central part of the seat 4100.

[0331] The vibrating unit 4300 is disposed on one side of the central portion of the seat portion 4100 and receives a supplied power source to generate vibration. The positional characteristics of the vibrating unit 4300 disposed on one side of the central portion of the seat portion 4100 have been determined by… Figure 4 An explanation was provided. Although... Figure 11 The text is omitted, but the vibration unit 4300 may include a first vibration unit 4300a and a second vibration unit 4300b. The first vibration unit 4300a and the second vibration unit 4300b each include motors that are different from each other, and can generate vibrations with different frequencies by means of the control unit 1200.

[0332] The deformable portion 4510 can change the position of the vibrating portion 4300, allowing the vibrating portion 4300 to fit snugly against at least one of the user's first and second body parts. The deformable portion 4510 is included in the seat portion 4100. According to different embodiments, the deformable portion 4510 may include a plurality of first deformable bodies 4512a, 4512b, 4512c, and receive control signals from the control portion 1200 to expand or contract, thereby guiding the first vibrating portion 4300a included in the vibrating portion 4300 to approach the user's massaged area or return to its original position.

[0333] The body massage unit 1000 can be used with the user's body and can massage at least a part of the body it contains. The body massage unit 1000 can perform massage on at least one of the user's neck, shoulders, back, waist, and pelvis based on control signals from the control unit 1200.

[0334] The leg massage unit 2000 can be used on at least a portion of the user's legs and can massage at least a portion of the legs being massaged.

[0335] The massage module 1700 can massage the user's back.

[0336] The control unit 120 sends control signals to at least one of the body massage unit 1000 (including the previously described vibration unit 4300), the massage module 1700, and the leg massage unit 2000, thereby controlling the operation of the body massage unit 1000, the massage module 1700, and the leg massage unit 2000, so that the massage device 100 can provide a highly satisfying massage to the user according to a first mode described later. The first mode will be described later.

[0337] Figure 12 This is a diagram illustrating the body airbags and leg airbags included in the massage device of this utility model.

[0338] Below, in Figure 12 To ensure clarity in the accompanying drawings, reference numerals for the body massage unit 1000 and the leg massage unit 2000 have been omitted. Furthermore, the leg massage unit 2000 includes: a first leg massage unit 2000a for accommodating the user's right leg (or one leg); and a second leg massage unit 2000b for accommodating the user's left leg (or the other leg). Figure 12 The reference numerals for the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b are also omitted in the accompanying drawings.

[0339] like Figure 12 As shown, the body massage unit 1000 may include body airbags 5100 for massaging (or pressing) the user's body. For example, the body airbags 5100 may include at least one of the following airbags: a shoulder airbag positioned corresponding to the user's shoulder; a back airbag positioned corresponding to the user's back; a pelvic airbag positioned corresponding to the user's pelvis; a groin airbag positioned corresponding to the user's groin; and a perineal airbag positioned corresponding to the user's perineum.

[0340] Specifically, the body airbag 5100 may include: a first body airbag 5110 disposed on one side of the body massage unit 1000 and used to massage one side of the user's body; a second body airbag 5130 disposed on the other side of the body massage unit 1000 and used to massage the other side of the user's body; and a third body airbag 5150 disposed between one side and the other side of the body massage unit 1000 and used to massage the other side of the user's body. The first body airbag 5110 may be an airbag corresponding to the first leg massage unit 2000a, and the second body airbag 5130 may be an airbag corresponding to the second leg massage unit 2000b.

[0341] The first body airbag 5110 may include at least one of the following airbags: a first shoulder airbag 5111, a first back airbag 5113, a first pelvic airbag 5115, and a first groin airbag 5117. The second body airbag 5130 may include at least one of the following airbags: a second shoulder airbag 5131, a second back airbag 5133, a second pelvic airbag 5135, and a second groin airbag 5137.

[0342] The first shoulder airbag 5111 can be disposed in the entire area of ​​one side of the body massage unit 1000, corresponding to one side of the user's shoulder (e.g., the upper region of one side of the body massage unit 1000), and massages one side of the user's shoulder. The second shoulder airbag 5131 can be disposed in the entire area of ​​the other side of the body massage unit 1000, corresponding to the other side of the user's shoulder (e.g., the upper region of the other side of the body massage unit 1000), and massages the other side of the user's shoulder. At this time, the first shoulder airbag 5111 and the second shoulder airbag 5131 can press on both sides of the user's shoulder (or the upper surfaces of both sides of the shoulder) and massage (or fix) the user's shoulder.

[0343] The first back airbag 5113 can be disposed in the entire area of ​​one side of the body massage unit 1000, corresponding to one side of the user's back (e.g., the area between the upper and lower ends of one side of the body massage unit 1000), and massages one side of the user's back. The second back airbag 5133 can be disposed in the entire area of ​​the other side of the body massage unit 1000, corresponding to the other side of the user's back (e.g., the area between the upper and lower ends of the other side of the body massage unit 1000), and massages the other side of the user's back. At this time, the first back airbag 5113 and the second back airbag 5133 can press against the rear surface of the user's back and massage the user's back, thereby pushing (or moving) the user's back in the forward direction of the body massage unit 1000.

[0344] The first pelvic airbag 5115 can be disposed in the entire area of ​​one side of the body massage unit 1000, corresponding to one side of the user's pelvis (e.g., the lower end area of ​​one side of the body massage unit 1000), and massages one side of the user's pelvis. The second pelvic airbag 5135 can be disposed in the entire area of ​​the other side of the body massage unit 1000, corresponding to the other side of the user's pelvis (e.g., the lower end area of ​​the other side of the body massage unit 1000), and massages the other side of the user's pelvis. At this time, the first pelvic airbag 5115 and the second pelvic airbag 5135 can press on both sides of the user's pelvis and massage (or fix) the user's pelvis.

[0345] The first thigh root airbag 5117 can be disposed in the entire area of ​​one side of the body massage unit 1000, corresponding to the thigh root of one of the user's legs (or the central side area of ​​the lower central area of ​​the body massage unit 1000), and massages the thigh root of one of the user's legs. The second thigh root airbag 5137 can be disposed in the entire area of ​​the other side of the body massage unit 1000, corresponding to the thigh root of the other user's leg (or the central other side area of ​​the lower central area of ​​the body massage unit 1000), and massages the thigh root of the other user's leg. At this time, the first and second thigh root airbags 5117 and the second thigh root airbag 5137 can press on the posterior surface of the user's thigh root, thereby massaging the user's two thigh roots in a manner that pushes them towards the upper side of the body massage unit 1000.

[0346] The third body airbag 5150 can be disposed in the area corresponding to the user's perineum (e.g., the front central area of ​​the body massage unit 1000) across the entire area between one and the other side of the body massage unit 1000, and massages the user's perineum. At this time, the airbag 5150, as the third body airbag, can press on the user's perineum in a manner that pushes / lifts it upwards towards the body massage unit 1000, thereby massaging the user's body. Figure 12 As shown, the massage device 100 according to this invention includes a body airbag 5100 and a leg airbag 5200, and the air valves of the overall airbag including the body airbag 5100 and the leg airbag 5200 are connected to a pump. Therefore, when the pump is activated, the airbags in multiple locations will be distributed and have the pressure supplied by the pump. On the other hand, in this invention, the deformable part 4510 can be exceptionally configured to always operate in a pressure-receiving state (ON) regardless of the operation of the pump, but is not limited to this. As an example, the pressure on the deformable part 4510 is never set to 0, and the process of dispersing the air pressure of the overall airbag by adjusting the air pressure of the airbags in other locations, and then concentrating the air pressure only on the deformable part 4510, can deliver a stimulation similar to the vibration stimulation corresponding to contraction / relaxation to the user's perineal area. As another example, since the massage mode of the massage device (or massage mode), the vibration mode of the vibration unit 4300, the massage time, etc. have been set, the deformation unit 4510 expands and / or contracts under various pressures according to the deformation unit operation mode stored in the storage unit 1300.

[0347] Furthermore, the leg massage unit 2000 may include a leg airbag 5200 for massaging the user's legs.

[0348] For example, the leg airbag 5200 may include: a first leg airbag 5210 corresponding to the first leg massage unit 2000a (or one side of the user's leg); and a second leg airbag 5230 corresponding to the second leg massage unit 2000b (or the other side of the user's leg). In this case, each leg airbag 5210, 5230 can massage the user's leg by inflating and contracting.

[0349] Specifically, the first leg massage unit 2000a may include a first leg airbag 5210 disposed in at least a portion of the area of ​​the first leg massage unit 2000a. The second leg massage unit 2000b may include a second leg airbag 5230 disposed in at least a portion of the area of ​​the second leg massage unit 2000b.

[0350] Each leg airbag 5210, 5230 may include at least one of the following airbags: a calf airbag positioned corresponding to the user's lower leg; and a foot airbag positioned corresponding to the user's foot.

[0351] For example, the first leg airbag 5210 may include at least one of the first calf airbag 5211 and the second foot airbag 5213. The second leg airbag 5230 may include at least one of the second calf airbag 5231 and the second foot airbag 5233.

[0352] The first calf airbag 5211 can be configured in the area of ​​the calf of one side of the user's leg corresponding to the entire area of ​​the first leg massage unit 2000a (e.g., the upper area of ​​the first leg massage unit 2000a), and massage the user's calf.

[0353] For example, the first calf airbag 5211 may include at least one of a first sub-calf airbag 5211a and a second sub-calf airbag 5211b. The first sub-calf airbag 5211a may be positioned in an area corresponding to the side of the calf of one leg and massage (or press) the side of the calf. The second sub-calf airbag 5211b may be positioned in an area corresponding to the back of the calf of one leg and massage the back of the calf. In this case, the first sub-calf airbag 5211a can press on both sides of the calf of one leg and massage (or fix) the user's calf.

[0354] The second calf airbag 5231 may include at least one of the third sub-calf airbag 5231a and the fourth sub-calf airbag 5231b. The third sub-calf airbag 5231a is the same as when the first sub-calf airbag 5211a is applied to the second leg massage unit 2000b, so its detailed description is omitted. The fourth sub-calf airbag 5231b is the same as when the second sub-calf airbag 5211b is applied to the second leg massage unit 2000b, so its detailed description is omitted.

[0355] The first foot airbag 5213 can be configured in the area corresponding to the foot of one side of the user's leg (e.g., the lower end area of ​​the first leg massage unit 2000a) in the entire area of ​​the second leg massage unit 2000a, and massage the user's foot.

[0356] For example, the first foot airbag 5213 may include at least one of a first sub-foot airbag 5213a and a second sub-foot airbag 5213b. The first sub-foot airbag 5213a may be positioned in an area corresponding to the side (or instep) of one leg and massages (or presses) the side (or instep). The second sub-foot airbag 5213b may be positioned in an area corresponding to the back (or heel, Achilles tendon) of one leg and massages (or presses) the back (or heel, Achilles tendon). In this case, the first sub-foot airbag 5213a can press on both sides of the foot of one leg and massage (or stabilize) the user's foot.

[0357] The second foot airbag 5233 may include at least one of the third sub-foot airbag 5233a and the fourth sub-foot airbag 5233b. The third sub-foot airbag 5233a is the same as when the first sub-foot airbag 5213a is applied to the second leg massage unit 2000b, so its detailed description is omitted. The fourth sub-foot airbag 5233b is the same as when the second sub-foot airbag 5213b is applied to the second leg massage unit 2000b, so its detailed description is omitted.

[0358] Figure 12 The various forms and positions of airbags described herein allow the user's body to fit more closely into the massage device 100, thereby increasing the massage effect and accurately applying the massage to the user's primary target area, thus minimizing the risk of injury to the user from the massage device 100.

[0359] Figure 13 A diagram illustrating the spacing of the massage balls included in the massage module.

[0360] The massage ball is a module installed in the massage module 1700 to apply massage to the user's back. It has a symmetrical arrangement of rollers arranged vertically around a belt in the middle section. The massage ball is divided into a first type 5310, a second type 5330, and a third type 5350 according to the spacing of the rollers arranged at the upper end.

[0361] The first form 5310 indicates that the spacing between the rollers arranged on the upper end of the massage ball is the minimum distance. The second form 5330 indicates that the spacing between the rollers arranged on the upper end of the massage ball is the middle distance. The third form 5350 indicates that the spacing between the rollers arranged on the upper end of the massage ball is the maximum distance. The control unit 1200 controls the massage module 1700 as needed, thereby converting the massage ball arranged in the massage module 1700 into at least one of the first to third forms, so as to provide at least one type of massage, such as acupressure, tapping, and kneading, to the user's back.

[0362] Figure 14 This is a diagram used to illustrate the XD intensity of the massage balls included in the massage module.

[0363] In this invention, the XD strength of the massage ball refers to the pressure applied by the massage ball to the user's massaged area along the vertical direction. The greater the pressure value, the greater the force applied to the user's massaged area. That is, when the XD strength is 1, the massage ball 5410 applies the minimum force to the user's massaged area, and when the XD strength is 5, the massage ball 5490 applies the maximum force to the user's massaged area.

[0364] In the massage device 100 according to the present invention, if the intensity of the XD of the massage ball remains the same for a specified time, a massage equivalent to "acupressure" can be provided to the user; if the intensity of the XD of the massage ball changes continuously over time, a massage equivalent to "patting" can be provided to the user.

[0365] Figure 15 This is a diagram illustrating a massage technique for stimulating the lower body of a user, according to the present invention.

[0366] The control unit 1200 controls various configurations of the massage device 100 (e.g., the lower body massage unit 4000) by executing a lower body stimulation massage mode for stimulating the user's lower body, thereby providing the user with a lower body stimulation massage (step S5500).

[0367] The lower body stimulation massage mode is the first mode as described above. It involves massaging the user's lower body (more precisely, various body parts and muscles related to the lower body, such as the pelvic muscles, genitals, surrounding genital muscles, prostate, surrounding prostate muscles, anus, and surrounding anal muscles (sphincter muscles, etc.)) using the lower body massage unit 4000, thereby stimulating these various body parts and muscles related to the user's lower body. Lower body stimulation massage stimulates various body parts and muscles related to the user's lower body, and can include various types of massage such as pelvic muscle stimulation massage, genital stimulation massage, perineal stimulation massage, prostate stimulation massage, and sphincter stimulation massage.

[0368] For example, the control unit 1200 can control the previously described lower body massage unit 4000 (e.g., vibration unit 4300) based on information (or program) for a set mode, and can also control the various actions of the massage devices 100 such as the body massage unit 1000, massage module 1700, and leg massage unit 2000, thereby providing the user with a massage for lower body stimulation.

[0369] Specifically, the control unit 1200 can generate control signals for controlling the actions of various components of the massage device 100. The control unit 1200 provides lower body stimulation massage to the user by transmitting the generated control signals to various components of the massage device 100.

[0370] As an example, the vibration unit 4300 can receive control signals transmitted from the control unit 1200 and analyze the commands defined in the received control signals, thereby determining the vibration start time, vibration frequency, vibration end time, etc., of the vibration unit 4300, and then vibrate accordingly, but is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 1200 transmits control signals for each of the vibration start time, vibration frequency, vibration end time, etc., of the vibration unit 4300 to the vibration unit 4300, and the vibration unit 4300 executes actions corresponding to the received control signals. The massage device 100 provides a lower body stimulation massage to the user through a lower body stimulation massage mode, thereby stimulating various body parts and muscles related to the user's lower body, thereby strengthening various body parts and muscles related to the user's lower body. More specifically, the massage device 100 stimulates the user's pelvic muscles through a lower body stimulation massage, thereby strengthening the pelvic muscles and stimulating the muscles around the perineum, thereby strengthening the muscles around the perineum.

[0371] According to the control unit 120 of the massage device 100 of this utility model, the position of the vibration unit 4300 is raised (changed) in each interval set in each of the aforementioned first to third modes by controlling the movement of the deformation unit 4510. This causes the first vibration unit 4300a and the second vibration unit 4300b included in the vibration unit 4300 to be in close contact with the user's massaged area (perineum, etc.), thereby maximizing the massage effect.

[0372] Figure 16 This is a diagram illustrating the vibration characteristics of the first mode realized in the massage device according to the present invention.

[0373] The following is for reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 Please provide an explanation.

[0374] Figure 16 This is a diagram illustrating how the vibration unit 4300 repeatedly performs vibration or stops over time based on control signals generated by the control unit 1200 of the massage device 100. For example, when a first mode is input, the control unit 1200 causes the first vibration unit 4300a and the second vibration unit 4300b included in the vibration unit 4300 to vibrate in different ways, thereby providing the user with a specialized massage effect in the first mode. In the massage device of this invention, the first mode refers to a massage mode that provides vibration stimulation to the urethral sphincter around the user's perineum to prevent urinary incontinence; this can be called a perineal massage mode.

[0375] If the first mode is input to the massage device 100, the control unit 1200 controls the repeated execution of the process of the vibration unit 4300 applying vibration to the user's first part at a first frequency by the action of the vibration unit 4300, and then stopping for a predetermined period of time. At the same time, a control signal for applying vibration to the user's second part at a second frequency by the vibration unit 4300 is generated and transmitted to the vibration unit 4300.

[0376] In particular, if the first mode is input, the control unit 1200 controls the repeated execution of the process of the first vibration unit 4300a applying vibration to the user's first part at a first frequency, and then stopping for a predetermined period, while simultaneously causing the second vibration unit 4300b to apply vibration to the second part at a variable frequency. At this time, the first frequency of the first vibration unit 4300a can be f1Hz. Furthermore, as... Figure 16 As shown, the second frequency of the second vibration unit 4300b can be a value selected from the range of f2Hz and below f3Hz. The second frequency can have a variable characteristic that changes over time; it does not simply increase or decrease in stages, but rather increases or decreases over time. (Refer to...) Figure 16 The second frequency is f2Hz at its lowest point, then increases to f1Hz, then decreases back to f1Hz, and finally reaches f3Hz, which is the highest frequency (the limiting frequency). After reaching the highest frequency, the second frequency decreases back to f1Hz, and the above process is repeated.

[0377] More specifically, refer to Figure 16 In the first mode, the first vibrating unit 4300a can vibrate at f1Hz for t1 seconds, then stop for t2 seconds (a predetermined period), and can repeat this process a predetermined number of times in units of (t1+t2) seconds. On the other hand, in the first mode, the second vibrating unit 4300b can repeat the procedure of changing from the minimum frequency f2Hz to the maximum frequency f3Hz approximately three times during the (t1+t2) period of repeated vibration and stopping by the first vibrating unit 4300a. Here, t1 can be a longer time than t2.

[0378] That is, in the massage device of this utility model, the first vibration unit 4300a has the characteristic of alternatingly repeating vibration and stopping in the first mode. In contrast, the second vibration unit 4300b does not stop in the first mode, but continuously generates vibration, and the frequency changes in stages over time within a preset range (f2Hz to f3Hz) while providing vibration stimulation to the second part.

[0379] Furthermore, in the first mode, the first site stimulated by the first vibration unit 4300a can be the user's pelvic muscles, while the second site stimulated by the second vibration unit 4300b can be the muscles surrounding the user's perineum. The first vibration unit 4300a strengthens the endurance of the pelvic muscles through continuous contraction movements around the user's perineum. The second vibration unit 4300b applies variable frequency vibration to the muscles surrounding the user's perineum, thereby increasing the muscle activity of the muscles surrounding the user's perineum. In particular, the principle of increasing the muscle activity of the muscles surrounding the perineum can induce a stretch reflex, which generates muscle contraction through variable frequency vibration stimulation. Accordingly, the urination reflex inhibition mechanism is strengthened, and ultimately, urinary incontinence is prevented.

[0380] According to one embodiment, the user can also increase the intensity of the first mode itself. For example, when the user sets the massage device 100 to the first mode and step 1, the first vibration unit 4300a and the second vibration unit 4300b can vibrate at f1Hz and f2Hz to f3Hz, respectively; when the user sets the massage device 100 to the first mode and step 2, the first vibration unit 4300a and the second vibration unit 4300b can vibrate at (f1+α1)Hz and (f2+β1)Hz to (f3+γ1)Hz, respectively; when the user sets the massage device 100 to the first mode and step 3, the first vibration unit 4300a and the second vibration unit 4300b can vibrate at (f1+α2)Hz and (f2+β2)Hz to (f3+γ2)Hz, respectively. In this case, α1, β1, and γ1 can be values ​​smaller than α2, β2, and γ2, respectively.

[0381] Figure 17 This is a diagram illustrating the motion (posture) characteristics of a first mode realized in the massage device according to the present invention.

[0382] According to the massage device 100 of this utility model, when operating in the first mode, the posture of the massage device 100 can also be changed to maximize the massage effect provided to the user. Figure 17 In the above, Angb1 is larger than Angb2, and Angf1 has a larger value than Angf2.

[0383] exist Figure 17 In this context, the reference posture 5710 of the massage device 100 refers to the posture when the user is not seated on the massage device 100. (See reference...) Figure 17 In the reference posture 5710 of the massage device 100, the angle of the body massage section 1000 of the massage device 100 is Angb1 degrees with the ground as the reference, and the angle of the leg massage section 2000 of the massage device 100 is maintained at Angf1 degrees with the vertical direction of the massage device 100 as the reference.

[0384] exist Figure 17 In this context, the first mode posture 5730 of the massage device 100 refers to the posture after the first mode is input when the user is seated on the massage device 100. In the first mode posture 5730, the angle of the body massage section 1000 of the massage device 100 is reduced compared to the reference posture 5710, and is Angb2 degrees relative to the ground. Angb2 degrees refers to the angle at which the user is likely to leave the massage device 100 when they feel the urge to urinate due to the vibration stimulation of the vibrating section 4300; Angb2 degrees can be referred to as the first angle.

[0385] Furthermore, in the first mode posture 5730 of the massage device 100, the angle of the leg massage portion 2000 of the massage device 100 is reduced compared to the reference posture 5710, and is reduced to Angf2 degrees based on the vertical direction of the massage device 100. Here, Angf2 degrees is an angle set to match the tilted back angle and body lines, and can be referred to as the second angle corresponding to the first angle. In this invention, both the first angle and the second angle can be angles set considering that if the user receiving the massage according to the first mode feels the urge to urinate, the user can quickly leave the massage device 100.

[0386] To summarize the foregoing explanation, in Figure 17 In this context, Angb2 degrees is an angle that is relatively smaller than Angb1 degrees, and Angf2 degrees is an angle that is relatively smaller than Angf1 degrees.

[0387] As in Figure 16 and Figure 17 As described in the description, the massage device 100 according to this utility model can operate with a fixed vibration pattern and a fixed posture in order to provide the best massage effect to the user in the first mode, thereby enabling the user receiving a massage in the first mode to strengthen the entire pelvic muscles and the muscles around the perineum.

[0388] Figures 18 to 20 This is a graph showing the motion characteristics of each module included in the massage device in a time series when the massage device is operating in the first mode.

[0389] The first mode provided by the massage device 100 of this utility model consists of intervals 1 to 4.

[0390] The massage device 100 operates in interval 1 for a total duration of 15 units of time. Interval 1 is the relaxation massage step. If a first mode is input, the control unit 1200 can change the massage device 100 to the optimized back and leg angles of the first mode in interval 1. That is, if the user inputs the first mode, the control unit 1200 generates a control signal for changing the massage device 100 from a reference posture 5710 to a first mode posture 5730, and transmits the control signal to the drive unit for adjusting the angles of the leg massage unit 2000 and the body massage unit 1000.

[0391] Furthermore, if the first mode is input, the control unit 1200 can transmit control signals to each massage module to perform a relaxation massage from the upper to the lower part of the user's body during the time interval 1, from unit time 1 to unit time 15, to promote blood circulation and muscle relaxation. When the first mode is input, the massage device 100 can perform a relaxation massage sequentially from the upper neck to the lower hip during the time interval 1 to unit time 15. For example, the control unit 1200 can control the movement of the massage module 1700, causing the massage module 1700 to move from the upper neck to the lower hip and provide massage to the user.

[0392] Next, in Figure 18 Information 5810 regarding the massaged area in interval 2 of the first mode and information 5830 regarding massage characteristics are shown. For example... Figure 18 As shown, section 2 represents the corrective and relaxation massage steps. (Refer to...) Figure 18 The interval 2 of the massage device 100 has a length of a total of 15 unit times, from unit time 16 to unit time 30.

[0393] like Figure 18 As shown, the massage device 100 according to this utility model can provide a user with a massage consisting of one of the following massage types: acupressure, kneading, kneading R, patting, or a combination of patting and kneading.

[0394] like Figure 18 As shown, the massage device 100 can be adjusted according to... Figure 18 The spacing of the massage balls is adjusted according to the width of the massage, and a massage is provided to the user. At this time, the speed of the massage provided to the user by the massage device 100 is... Figure 18 In this context, it is represented as force (power). Figure 18 In this context, the depth of the massage provided to the user by the massage device 100 is expressed as 3D depth (3DDepth). The larger the number of 3D depth, the greater the force applied to the user's body in the vertical direction.

[0395] exist Figure 18 In the text, information on leg massage is divided into calf (Leg) and foot (Foot) and shown.

[0396] exist Figure 18 In the image, information regarding the activation of the airbags in the massage device 100 is shown along with "Air" and the user's body part where the airbags are located. (See reference...) Figure 18The airbags can be individually positioned on the user's left and right pelvis (Hip R, Hip L), legs, heels, feet, and perineum. The pressure of each airbag is not individually adjusted, and a single pressure value is applied every 100 microseconds (100ms), but this is not a limitation. For example, if a first mode is input into the massage device 100, then as in... Figures 5 to 7 As explained in the text, the control unit 1200 controls the input of pressure 160 only to the deformable part 4510, while maintaining 0 pressure on the airbags in the remaining parts, thereby controlling the first vibrating part 4300a, included in the vibrating part 4300, to be close to the user's perineum. The types and characteristics of the airbags in the massage device 100 of this utility model have been described in detail. Figure 12 The explanation is provided below.

[0397] If interval 1 ends, the control unit 1200 can control the massage device 100 to perform a massage for relaxing the user's lumbar muscles during interval 2, from unit time 15 to unit time 30. Specifically, the control unit 1200 controls the massage device 100 to fix the user's pelvis during interval 2 using the first pelvic airbag 5115 and the second pelvic airbag 5135, thereby massaging the erector spinae muscles located in the lumbar region to maximize the relaxation effect. Furthermore, the control unit 1200 controls the massage device 100 to also apply pressure from the airbags to the user's lower limbs (legs), thereby increasing the user's peripheral circulation and venous circulation.

[0398] exist Figure 19 The diagram shows information about the massaged area in zone 3 of the first mode, as well as information 5910 regarding the massage characteristics. Zone 3 enables a full-body cyclic massage step. (See reference...) Figure 19 The interval 3 of the massage device 100 has a length of a total of 22 unit times, from unit time 31 to unit time 52.

[0399] If interval 2 ends, the control unit 1200 can control the massage device 100 to perform a full-body cyclic massage from the user's upper waist to the lower back during the time period from unit time 31 to unit time 52 in interval 3. Considering that the massage device 100 according to this utility model is intended to prevent urinary incontinence in middle-aged and elderly users, the control unit 1200 will not increase the variation of the massage module (massage ball) in order not to provide excessive vibration stimulation to the user. At the same time, the control unit 1200 can control the massage device 100 to provide the user with a relaxation massage mainly based on kneading in interval 3, while allowing the user to better experience the vibration wavelength pattern, and not to provide a tapping or combined (a combination of tapping and kneading) type of massage similar to vibration in interval 3. In particular, if interval 3 begins, the control unit 1200 can control the massage device 100 to increase the air supply pressure to the airbags at an extremely high speed (during the period from unit time 31 to unit time 32), and only provide pressure to the leg airbags and the deformable part 4510, thereby increasing the transmission rate of the vibration wavelength provided to the user. Although in Figure 19 As not shown in the figure, the control unit 1200 can be controlled to continue to maintain the pressure on the deformable part 4510, so that the first vibrating part 4300a of the vibrating part 4300 can be in close contact with the user's massaged area (perineum).

[0400] exist Figure 20 The diagram shows information 6010 regarding the massaged area in interval 4 of the first mode, and information 6030 regarding the massage characteristics. Interval 4 represents the concentrated massage steps. (See reference...) Figure 20 The interval 4 of the massage device 100 has a length of a total of 16 unit time units, from unit time 53 to unit time 68.

[0401] If interval 3 ends, the control unit 1200 can control the massage device 100 to perform a concentrated massage 6011 from the user's lower back to the user's lower hips during the time interval 4, from unit time 53 to unit time 68. This massage device 100's operation can maintain the user's body in a prolonged state of tension with a continuous vibration wavelength, thus allowing the user to relax while performing a massage targeting the pelvic muscles, thereby improving the user's blood circulation.

[0402] In this invention, the first mode of the massage device 100 can execute intervals 1 to 4 for approximately 4 minutes. Once interval 4 ends, the control unit 1200 can control the massage device 100 to provide pressure to the airbag located in the user's perineum, i.e., the third body airbag 5150, for 6 minutes, while simultaneously stopping the vibration of the vibration unit 4300 and providing only a full-body circulatory massage to the user. This first mode process takes into account the possibility that providing vibration wavelengths to the user for an extended period could cause discomfort, and also aims to amplify the vibration effect through a massage-based process of body relaxation and blood circulation promotion.

[0403] As an example, if the 6-minute massage interval ends, the control unit 1200 controls the massage device 100 to quickly execute intervals 1 to 6 again for about 3 minutes, and then sets an interval to provide only 7 minutes of massage, thereby enabling a total 20-minute vibration massage program.

[0404] Figure 21 This is a flowchart illustrating an example of the control method for the massage device according to the present invention.
