Description

Technical Field

[0001] This specification relates to a massage device, and more specifically, to a massage device that can improve the stretching effect of the hip joint and legs by independently driving the foot massage section and the calf massage section. Background Technology

[0002] Massage refers to a medical adjunct therapy that involves applying various forms of mechanical stimulation to specific parts of the body, such as kneading, pressing, stretching, patting, or inducing physical activity, to adjust changes in the body, promote blood circulation, and relieve fatigue.

[0003] Due to economic and time constraints, there is an increasing 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 have been paying more attention to health, and massage devices have evolved from simply providing massage functions to electronic devices that offer a variety of additional functions and / or medical functions.

[0005] On the other hand, there is a problem that when the massage device provides massage to the user's legs, the range of leg stretching is limited according to the length of the user's legs, which leads to a reduction in the massage effect.

[0006] In addition, there is a problem that even if the length of the massage device is adjusted according to the user's leg length, it cannot reach the user's ankle, and therefore cannot provide ankle stretching function.

[0098] Hereinafter, embodiments of this specification will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0099] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating one embodiment of the massage device 100 according to this specification.

[0100] A massage device 100 according to an embodiment of this specification includes: a body massage section 1000 forming an area for accommodating at least a portion of the body of a user 10 and massaging the user's body; and a leg massage section 2000 for massaging the user's legs.

[0101] The body massage unit 1000 is capable of providing massage to at least a part of a user's body. The body massage unit 1000 may include: a massage module 1700 for providing massage function to at least a part of the user's body; an audio output module 1500 for providing audio output to the user in any form; a frame unit 1100 for forming the frame of the body massage unit 1000; and a user input unit 1400 for receiving input in any form from the user.

[0102] 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 various other structures.

[0103] 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 specification without departing from the scope of the claims.

[0104] 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 that corresponds to the shape of 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 whole body or part of the body of the user 10.

[0105] 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.

[0106] At least a portion of the body massage unit 1000 is slidable. 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.

[0107] According to one embodiment of this specification, the massage device 100 may include at least one airbag. The airbag may be located in the user's shoulder, pelvic area, arm massage section 3000, leg massage section 2000, etc., but is not limited thereto, and may be configured in multiple parts of the massage device 100.

[0108] The massage device 100 may include an air supply unit (not shown in the accompanying drawings) that supplies 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. Alternatively, the air supply unit may be located outside the massage device 100.

[0109] 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 calves and / or a foot massage unit for massaging the user's feet.

[0110] 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 a leg massage that is tailored to the user's height.

[0111] Reference Figure 1 Multiple leg massage units 2000 can be installed, and the user's right and left feet can be inserted into multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B respectively. Multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B can be driven independently. The leg massage units 2000 will be described in detail later.

[0112] The massage module 1700 can be disposed inside the body massage unit 1000 to provide any form of mechanical stimulation to the user accommodated in the body massage unit 1000. The massage module 1700 can be disposed along... Figure 1 The frame 1100 inside the body massage unit 1000 shown moves.

[0113] For example, the frame portion 1100 of the body massage unit 1000 may include a rack 1112, and the massage module 1700 provides mechanical stimulation to various parts of the user's body while moving along the rack 1112. The massage module 1700 may include a ball massage unit or a roller massage unit, but is not limited to these.

[0114] The frame portion 1100 serves as a frame for forming the internal structure of the body massage portion 1000, and can be made of materials such as metal or plastic. For example, the frame portion 1100 can be made of iron, alloy, steel, etc., but is not limited to these, and can also be made of various sturdy materials.

[0115] According to one embodiment of this specification, the seat portion 1000a of the massage device 100 may include: an upper body support portion for supporting the upper body of the user; and a lower body support portion for supporting the lower body of the user.

[0116] The upper body support contacts the user's upper body, specifically starting from the head and contacting the waist and supporting the user's body. The lower body support contacts the buttocks, thighs, and other areas below the upper body support and supports the user's body.

[0117] Figure 2 It is used for explanation Figure 1 The diagram of the frame part 1100, Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating the constituent elements of a massage device according to an embodiment of this specification.

[0118] According to one embodiment of this specification, the massage device 100 may include at least one of a frame portion 1100, a control portion 1200, a storage portion 1300, a user input portion 1400, an audio output module 1500, a network connection portion 1600, and a massage module 1700.

[0119] The frame portion 1100 may be a structure that forms the frame of the body massage portion 1000.

[0120] According to one embodiment of this specification, 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] According to one embodiment of this specification, the rack 1112 can be arranged facing each other on both sides of the main frame, specifically on the back frame 1110 and the seat frame 1120, and the body massage module can move along the rack 1112.

[0124] 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.

[0125] The rack 1112 may be made of metal or plastic. For example, the rack 1112 may be made of iron, steel, alloy, reinforced plastic, melamine resin, phenolic resin, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0126] The main frame can be implemented in various shapes. For example, the main frame can be classified as an S-frame, L-frame, S&L-frame, or double S&L-frame based on its shape, but it is not limited to these.

[0127] An S-frame is a frame in which at least a portion of the main frame has a curved shape resembling an "S". An L-frame is a frame in which at least a portion of the main frame includes a curved shape resembling an "L". An S&L frame is a frame in which both curved shapes resembling "S" and curved shapes resembling "L" are included. A double S&L frame is a frame in which both curved shapes resembling "L" and two parts curved shapes resembling "S".

[0128] 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.

[0129] 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 contact with the lower base frame 1132.

[0130] According to one embodiment of this specification, 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.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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. Furthermore, the control unit 1200 is not limited to this and may be implemented in various ways.

[0133] 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.

[0134] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 1200 can control the operation of the massage device 100.

[0135] 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.

[0136] For example, the massage device 100 may include at least one of the following: a massage module movement actuator, at least one actuator included in the massage module 1700, a back angle actuator, a leg angle actuator, a foot massage actuator, a leg length adjustment actuator, and a sliding actuator. The control unit 1200 can control the operation of the massage device 100 by controlling these actuators.

[0137] In this specification, "leg length adjustment actuator" may refer to the connecting drive unit provided in the leg massage unit 2000. The structure of the connecting drive unit will be described in detail later.

[0138] The massage module movement actuator is an actuator that enables the massage module 1700 to move up and down. Through the action of the massage module movement actuator, the massage module 1700 can move along the rack 1112.

[0139] The back angle actuator is an actuator that adjusts the angle of the part of the user's back that contacts the massage device 100. The back angle of the massage device 100 can be adjusted by the movement of the back angle actuator.

[0238] However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made. For example, the foot massage main body 2210 includes three or more foot massage main bodies.

[0239] According to one embodiment of this specification, the foot massage main body 2210 may include a foot massage base 2211, a foot lifting part 2213, and a lifting drive part 2215.

[0240] Although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the foot massage main body 2210 may include a foot massage main body housing (not specified in the drawings) that covers the foot massage base 2211, the foot bottom lifting part 2213 and the lifting drive part 2215 and forms the appearance of the foot massage main body 2210.

[0241] On one side of the foot massager body shell (with) Figure 6 The upper side (based on the reference) can be formed with an entry hole (not specified in the attached drawing) for the user's foot to enter, and the user's foot can be positioned on the foot lifting part 2213 through the entry hole.

[0242] According to one embodiment of this specification, the foot massage base 2211 can be formed on the lower side of the foot massage main body 2210, and can be provided with a foot bottom lifting part 2213, a lifting drive part 2215 and a rotation guide part 2230.

[0243] The foot massage base 2211 is combined with the first main frame 2250 described later. When the first moving part 2270, which is combined with the first main frame 2250, moves on the connecting frame part 2100, specifically on the moving guide part 2131, the foot massage base 2211 can move together.

[0244] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7A and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, the foot lifting part 2213 accommodates the user's foot and one side can be raised and lowered. The foot lifting part 2213 can be provided on the foot massage base 2211.

[0245] According to one embodiment of this specification, one side of the foot lifting part 2213 can be raised and lowered, and the opposite side can be rotatably attached to the foot massage base 2211.

[0246] In this instruction manual, "one side" of the foot-lifting part 2213 refers to the area where the user's heel is located, and "the other side" refers to the area where the user's toes are located.

[0247] The other side of the foot lifting part 2213 can be rotatably connected to the foot massage base 2211 along a preset rotation center axis AX3.

[0248] One side of the foot-bottom lifting part 2213 can be raised and lowered by being driven by the lifting drive part 2215 (described later). Specifically, when one side of the foot-bottom lifting part 2213 rises, the other side can rotate counterclockwise (with the rotation center axis AX3 as a reference). Figure 7B Rotate based on (reference).

[0249] Conversely, when one side of the foot-mounted lifting section 2213 is driven to descend, the other side can rotate clockwise (with the rotation center axis AX3 as a reference) Figure 7B Rotate based on (reference).

[0250] A foot massage module that provides massage to the user's feet can be provided in the foot lifting part 2213. Specifically, a space can be formed that wraps around the user's feet and can accommodate the feet inside, and the foot massage module can be provided in the space.

[0251] In this specification, the side of the foot lifting part 2213 where the user's heel is located can be raised or lowered, but it is not limited to this. Various modifications can be made, for example, the other side where the user's toes are located can be raised or lowered, or both sides can be raised or lowered.

[0252] As an optional embodiment, a pressure sensor (not shown in the figures) may be provided on the foot-lifting part 2213. The pressure sensor can measure the pressure applied to a preset area on the foot-lifting part 2213, such as the area in contact with the user's heel.

[0253] Therefore, when the preset pressure is not measured in the area while the leg massage unit 2000 is in the activated state, it is determined that the user's heel is not in contact with the foot lifting unit 2213, and the relevant information can be transmitted to the control unit 1200.

[0254] The control unit 1200 can transmit an electrical signal to the air supply unit to control the drive of the air supply unit, so that gas can be supplied to the lifting drive unit 2215, specifically to the airbag.

[0255] Therefore, it has the following effect: when a user with relatively short leg length sits on the massage device 100, even if the heel does not contact the foot lifting part 2213, the area can be raised and contacted by the lifting drive part 2215.

[0256] The following description is based on the foot massage base 2211, which is adjustable on one side where the user's heel is located and rotatably connected to the opposite side.

[0257] Reference Figures 7A to 7C According to one embodiment of this specification, a lifting drive unit 2215 is disposed between a foot massage base 2211 and a foot lifting unit 2213, which can cause the foot lifting unit 2213 to rise and fall.

[0258] According to one embodiment of this specification, the lifting drive unit 2215 can undergo shape deformation and volume deformation when driven.

[0259] According to one embodiment of this specification, the lifting drive unit 2215 may include an airbag. The interior of the lifting drive unit 2215 is hollow and can expand or contract as gas is supplied or discharged from an external air supply unit.

[0260] Reference Figure 7A Specifically, in the lifting drive unit 2215, when the airbag is in the contracted state, one side of the foot lifting unit 2213 is not raised and the opposite side is not rotated, so that the user's foot is placed on the ground.

[0261] Reference Figure 7B and Figure 7C In the lifting drive unit 2215, specifically, the airbag, in a state of receiving gas from the air supply unit and inflating, rises to one side of the foot lifting unit 2213 located at the bottom of the user's heel, and on the opposite side, rotates counterclockwise with respect to the rotation center axis AX3. Figure 7B (Based on) the rotation state, thereby enabling the user's instep area to expand and providing ankle stretching function.

[0262] When the lifting drive unit 2215 retracts again as gas is discharged from the airbag, one side of the raised foot bottom lifting unit 2213 can descend again and return to its original position. Figure 7A The reference position is shown.

[0263] As an optional embodiment, the lifting drive unit 2215' can be an actuator with an adjustable length.

[0264] Figure 15A and Figure 15B This is a partial side view showing the driving state of the lifting drive unit according to another embodiment of this specification. (Refer to...) Figure 15A and Figure 15B According to another embodiment of this specification, the lifting drive unit 2215' can be connected to the foot bottom lifting unit 2213', specifically, to the inclined base 2213'a.

[0265] Reference Figure 15A and Figure 15B Specifically, the foot-mounted lifting part 2213', the inclined base 2213'a can rotate clockwise and / or counterclockwise with reference to a preset rotation center axis AX3' formed on the upper side of the foot massage base 2211'.

[0266] The lifting drive unit 2215' can be connected to the connecting region 2216', which is spaced apart from the rotation center axis AX3' of the inclined base 2213'a on the inclined base 2213'a. Therefore, when the lifting drive unit 2215' is driven, the inclined base 2213'a can receive power from the lifting drive unit 2215' and rotate relative to the rotation center axis AX3'.

[0267] When the inclined base 2213`a rotates, the foot lifting part 2213` where the user's foot is located can rotate.

[0268] Unlike the foot-lifting unit 2213 of one embodiment of this specification, which receives power from the lifting drive unit 2215 to raise and / or lower the area corresponding to the user's heel, in another embodiment of the foot-lifting unit 2213' of this specification, the area corresponding to the user's toes can rise and / or fall.

[0269] Reference Figure 15A and Figure 15B According to another embodiment of this specification, one side of the lifting drive unit 2215' can be connected to the inclined base 2213'a, and the other side can be connected to the first main body frame 2250'.

[0270] Reference Figure 15A and Figure 15BIn the inclined base 2213'a, at least one roller that can be rotatably arranged to contact the bottom of the user's foot can be provided.

[0271] However, this is not the only possible implementation; various variations are possible, for example, the rollers are not set up. Figure 15A and Figure 15B The inclined base 2213`a shown is set at... Figures 7A to 7C The outer and / or inner sides of the foot lifting part 2213 according to an embodiment of this specification are shown, and rotate and / or tilt with reference to a rotation center axis AX3' that is different from the rotation center axis AX3 of the foot lifting part 2213.

[0272] That is, when the lifting drive unit 2215 according to one embodiment of this specification is driven, one side of the foot lifting unit 2213 (the area corresponding to the user's heel) rises and falls. In contrast, when the lifting drive unit 2215' according to another embodiment of this specification is driven, the tilt base 2213'a rotates, the other side (the area corresponding to the user's toes) rises and falls, and the user's ankle can tilt.

[0273] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7A and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, the rotating guide 2230 is used to guide the lifting path of the foot lifting part 2213 and can be combined with the foot massage main body 2210.

[0274] Reference Figure 6 The rotating guide 2230 can be fixed to the side of the foot massage base 2211. Multiple rotating guides 2230 can be provided and fixed to the foot massage base 2211 so that they can be provided on both sides of the foot lifting part 2213.

[0275] Reference Figures 7A to 7C A track portion 2231 can be formed through the rotation guide portion 2230 to provide a rotation path for the foot lifting portion 2213. A protrusion 2214 protruding outward can be formed on a surface of the foot lifting portion 2213 opposite to the rotation guide portion 2230.

[0276] The protrusion 2214 is located inside the track portion 2231 formed in the rotation guide portion 2230 and can contact the track portion 2231.

[0277] Since the track portion 2231 formed in the rotation guide portion 2230 has the effect of providing a rotation path, when the lifting drive portion 2215 is driven and the foot lifting portion 2213 on one side is raised or lowered, the protrusion 2214 formed in the foot lifting portion 2213 can move along the track portion 2231, and the foot lifting portion 2213 can rotate stably with respect to the rotation center axis AX3.

[0278] Reference Figure 6 and Figures 7A to 7C According to one embodiment of this specification, the track portion 2231 formed in the rotation guide portion 2230 penetrates the rotation guide portion 2230 and can be formed in the shape of a hole.

[0279] However, it is not limited to this. Within the technical concept of providing a rotation path for the foot lifting part 2213 when the protrusion 2214 formed on the foot bottom lifting part 2213 moves along the track part 2231, various modifications can be made, such as forming it into the shape of a groove.

[0280] Reference Figure 6 , Figures 7A to 7C and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, the first main frame 2250 can be combined with the foot massage main body 2210, specifically, with the foot massage base 2211.

[0281] The first main frame 2250 can be combined with the first moving part 2270, and when the first moving part 2270 moves on the connecting frame part 2100, specifically on the moving guide part 2131, the first main frame 2250 can move together with the first moving part 2270.

[0282] The first moving part 2270 can move on the connecting frame part 2100 via the connecting drive part 2400. That is, the first moving part 2270 can move on the connecting frame part 2100 via the power generated by the connecting drive part 2400.

[0283] The first moving part 2270 and the first main frame 2250 can move back and forth along the central axis AX2 in the moving direction.

[0284] Reference Figure 7B The image shows a massage device 100 according to an embodiment of this specification. Specifically, in the leg massage unit 2000, the user's leg length is at its minimum. The movement path of the first main frame 2250 and the movement direction central axis of the second main frame 2330 provided in the calf massage unit 2300 (described later) can be formed to be parallel to each other.

[0285] Reference Figure 7BWhen the foot massage unit 2200 according to one embodiment of this specification is upward (towards) Figure 7B When the calf massage unit 2300 is pushed and moved (based on the reference), the first main frame 2250 may be set apart from the second main frame 2330 without contact.

[0286] Therefore, collisions between the first main frame 2250 and the second main frame 2330 can be prevented, and damage to the foot massage part 2200 and the calf massage part 2300 due to collisions can be prevented.

[0287] As an optional embodiment, when the foot massage unit pushes the calf massage unit 2300 upwards (towards...), Figure 7B When the first main frame 2250 is pushed and moved (based on the reference), one end of the first main frame 2250 (with Figure 7B The upper end (based on the reference) can be located at the opposite end of the second main frame 2330 (with) Figure 7B The lower end (based on the reference) is in contact with the state.

[0288] In this case, the following effect is achieved: when the contact area between the first main frame 2250 and the second main frame 2330 increases, the foot massage part 2200 can stably move the calf massage part 2300.

[0289] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7A , Figures 8 to 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, the first moving part 2270 is combined with the first main body frame 2250 and can move on the connecting frame part 2100, specifically on the moving guide part 2131.

[0290] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first moving part 2270 moves along the length direction (with) Figure 8 It extends in the vertical direction (based on the reference) and can form multiple movable grooves along the length direction.

[0291] The first movable groove 2271 may have a predetermined depth along the length direction of the first movable portion 2270, and may be formed in the shape of a groove.

[0292] A stop portion 2150, which is attached to the connecting frame body 2130, may be provided on the inner side of the first moving groove portion 2271. Specifically, it is attached to the moving guide portion 2131.

[0293] When the first moving part 2270 moves on the moving guide part 2131, the stop part 2150 is located inside the first moving groove part 2271, such as Figure 7CAs shown, due to the foot massage section 2200 and the calf massage section 2300 being in their longest extended state with the stop section 2150 and the first moving groove section 2271 being in their furthest apart state (with... Figure 8 The upper end of the reference point is in contact, thus restricting the first moving part 2270 from moving further away from the moving guide part 2131.

[0294] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the first moving part 2270, a second moving groove 2272 may be formed parallel to the length direction of the first moving groove 2271. The second moving groove 2272 is formed to have a predetermined depth, and the side of the moving guide part 2131 may engage with the inside of the second moving groove 2272.

[0295] Reference Figure 9 The second moving groove 2272 can be formed on both sides with the length direction center axis of the first moving part 2270 as a reference, and the two sides of the moving guide part 2131 can respectively engage with each second moving groove 2272.

[0296] That is, since the two sides of the moving guide 2131 cover the upper part of the first moving part 2270 where the first moving groove 2271 is formed (to... Figure 9 (Based on) the area, and engages with the second moving groove 2272, thus having the effect that the first moving part 2270 can move stably on the moving guide part 2131.

[0297] Reference Figure 9 The second movable groove 2272, which extends along the length direction, may include a first interval 2272a and a second interval 2272b. The widths of the second movable groove 2272 may be different in the first interval 2272a and the second interval 2272b.

[0298] That is, one end of the first moving part 2270, on which the second moving groove 2272 is formed (with) Figure 9 The thickness of the lower end (based on the reference) can be formed as t1 in the first interval 2272a, and as t2, which is relatively thinner than t1, in the second interval 2272b.

[0299] Since the thickness of one end of the first moving part 2270, on which the second moving groove 2272 is formed along the length direction of the first moving part 2270, is different, the moving range of the first moving part 2270 can be limited.

[0300] However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made. For example, the second moving groove 2272 has the same width as the first moving part 2270 along its length direction.

[0301] Reference Figure 9 Since the first moving part 2270 according to one embodiment of this specification is on one side (with Figure 9 A first moving groove 2271 is formed on the upper side (based on the reference), where a stop portion 2150 can be provided internally, and a second moving groove 2272 extends along the length direction and is formed on the other side (based on the reference). Figure 9 The lower side (based on the reference) is surrounded and engaged on both sides of the first moving part 2270, so that when the first moving part 2270 is viewed from the front, it can be seen that... Shape formation.

[0302] Therefore, the two sides of the moving guide 2131 engage with the second moving groove 2272, allowing the first moving part 2270 to move stably, and allowing one end of the first moving groove 2271 (to) Figure 8 The upper end (based on the reference) can be engaged with the stop 2150, thereby effectively limiting the movement range of the first moving part 2270.

[0303] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 The first movable part 2270 can contact the second movable part 2350 provided in the calf massage part 2300. Specifically, the second movable part 2350 can be provided in the movement path of the first movable part 2270.

[0304] Figure 12 This shows the state in which the first moving part 2270 moves and comes into contact with the second moving part 2350. Figure 13 yes Figure 12 The first moving part 2270 in the middle moves further and upward (to) Figure 13 (Based on the state of the second moving part 2350)

[0305] The second moving part 2350 can receive power from the first moving part 2270 and move until it is connected to the upper end of the connecting frame body 2130. Figure 13 (Based on) contact.

[0306] Therefore, the second main body frame 2330, which is coupled to the second moving part 2350, and the calf massage main body 2310, which is coupled to the second main body frame 2330, can move upwards from the hinge axis 2110 (towards) Figure 13 (Based on) the rise.

[0307] Reference Figure 7B With the first moving part 2270 in contact with the second moving part 2350, the second moving part 2350 moves to the upper end of the connecting frame body 2130, thereby allowing the upper end of the second frame body, to which the calf massage body part 2310 is attached, to be (in order to...) Figure 7B(Based on the reference line BL, the pivot axis AX1 of the hinge axis 2110 is moved to a position that is a predetermined height d1 higher than the reference line BL where the pivot axis AX1 of the hinge axis 2110 is located.)

[0308] Therefore, it has the following effect: when stretching the hip joint, it pulls the user's leg as far as possible toward the user's body side, which can increase the range of stretching.

[0309] Reference Figure 7A and Figure 12 This shows the state in which the first moving part 2270 is in contact with the second moving part 2350, and the state in which the first moving part 2270 has not yet pushed and moved the second moving part 2350.

[0310] At this time, the reference line BL where the rotation center axis AX1 of the hinge axis 2110 is located is below the second main body frame 2330 which is combined with the second moving part 2350, and is defined as the "reference state" in this specification.

[0311] Reference Figure 7B In the reference state, the foot massage unit 2200 moves towards the calf massage unit 2300, and the foot massage unit 2200 pushes the calf massage unit 2300 so that the calf massage unit 2300, specifically, the upper end of the second main frame 2330 is located above the hinge axis 2110 (to... Figure 7B The state is based on the minimum elongation state, and is defined in this specification as the "shortest elongation state".

[0312] Reference Figure 7C , its purpose is Figure 7B In this state, the foot massage section 2200 moves away from the calf massage section 2300 (within... Figure 7C Based on the reference, the state of movement (from top to bottom) is defined in this specification as the "maximum elongation state".

[0313] Reference Figure 7B and Figure 7C In the shortest and longest extension states, the control unit 1200 transmits an electrical signal to the air supply unit, thereby supplying gas to the foot massage unit 2200, specifically to the lifting drive unit 2215.

[0314] When the lifting drive unit 2215, specifically the airbag, inflates, one side of the foot lifting unit 2213, where the user's heel is located, rises, and the opposite side can rotate around the rotation center axis AX3.

[0315] At this time, since the protrusion 2214 formed on the foot lifting part 2213 moves along the track part 2231 formed on the rotation guide part 2230, the foot lifting part 2213 has the effect of rotating along a preset rotation path.

[0316] As an optional embodiment, the second moving part 2350 can move on the connecting frame part 2100 via the deformable part (driving part) 2500. Specifically, by changing the length between one end and the other end of the driving body, the second moving part 2350 can move on the connecting frame part 2100 in the upward and / or downward direction.

[0317] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7A , Figures 10 to 13 According to one embodiment of this specification, the calf massage unit 2300 is connected to the opposite side of the connecting frame portion 2100 connected to the foot massage unit 2200, and can accommodate the user's calf.

[0318] The calf massage unit 2300 can move on the connecting frame unit 2100, and can move relative to the foot massage unit 2200 in a direction that is close to each other, a direction that is separated from each other, and / or the same direction as each other.

[0319] On the other hand, the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200 can be driven separately.

[0320] Therefore, as Figure 7B As shown, in the shortest extension state, the hip joint stretching effect can be increased, such as... Figure 7C As shown, in the longest extended state, the stretching effect can be increased by lengthening the leg.

[0321] Additionally, refer to Figure 7B and Figure 7C The calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200 move relative to each other on the connecting frame 2100 and transmit power to the foot lifting unit 2213, thereby raising one side of the foot lifting unit 2213, specifically, the area where the user's heel is located. That is, the ankle stretching effect can be increased by stretching the instep outward.

[0322] As an optional embodiment, such as Figure 7A As shown, various modifications can be implemented. For example, even in the reference state, the foot lifting part 2213 can independently raise the side where the user's heel is located.

[0323] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7A and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, the calf massage unit 2300 may include a calf massage main body 2310, a second main body frame 2330, and a second moving part 2350.

[0324] The calf massage main body 2310 can accommodate the user's leg, specifically the calf, and can be shaped to surround the calf. A massage module (not shown in the attached drawings) can be provided on the inner peripheral surface of the calf massage main body 2310 located on the outer side of the user's calf, and can provide a massage function to the user.

[0325] According to one embodiment of this specification, the calf massage main body 2210 is formed in a single shape, but is not limited thereto. As an optional embodiment, the calf massage main body 2210 may be divided into multiple regions that can move relative to each other in the moving direction on the connecting frame 2100.

[0326] As an optional embodiment, the calf massage main body 2310 may include a plurality of calf massage main bodies (not shown in the figures) that can move independently of each other.

[0327] Specifically, the calf massage main body 2310 may include a first calf massage main body and a second calf massage main body. The first calf massage main body and the second calf massage main body can move on the connecting frame 2100 in a direction that approaches each other, a direction that moves away from each other, and / or in the same direction as each other.

[0328] In other words, each calf massager can move independently in the upward and / or downward direction of each calf massager via a drive unit corresponding to each calf massager.

[0329] In addition, the first calf massage body and the second calf massage body can move in the same direction or in opposite directions on the connecting frame 2100.

[0330] Therefore, various modifications can be implemented, such as adjusting the position of the user's calf area or adjusting the distance between the first calf massage body and the second calf massage body, and providing the user with a calf stretching function.

[0331] However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made. For example, the calf massage main body 2310 includes three or more calf massage main bodies.

[0332] Reference Figures 7A to 7C and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, one side of the second main frame 2330 (with) Figure 6 The front side (based on the reference) is combined with the calf massage main body 2310, and the opposite side (based on the reference) Figure 6 The rear side (based on the reference) can be combined with the second moving part 2350.

[0333] The second main frame 2330 and the calf massage main body 2310 can move together with the second moving part 2350 on the connecting frame part 2100, specifically on the connecting frame main body 2130.

[0334] According to one embodiment of this specification, the second moving part 2350 can move while in contact with the inner surface of the connecting frame part 2100. Since the second moving part 2350 contacts the connecting frame part 2100, specifically, the connecting frame body 2130, on both sides, it has the effect of being able to move stably.

[0335] According to one embodiment of this specification, the second movable part 2350 may be formed of polyoxymethylene (POM) material, but within the technical concept of being movable on the connecting frame body 2130 while being fixedly attached to the second main body frame 2330, it may be formed of various materials such as metal and plastic.

[0336] The second main frame 2330 can be combined with the deformable part 2500 (described later), specifically, it can be combined with the second fixing part 2535. When the second main frame 2330 moves, the second fixing part 2535 can move together.

[0337] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 When the first moving part 2270 is in contact with the second moving part 2350, the second moving part 2350 can be pushed and lifted in the direction of the hinge axis 2110, and when the second moving part 2350 moves, the second fixing part 2535 attached to the second main body frame 2330 also moves together.

[0338] One side of the deformable main body 2510 described later (with) Figure 12 The lower side (based on the reference) is combined with the fixed part 2100, specifically, the first fixing part 2531 fixed to the main body 2130 of the connecting frame, and the opposite side (with) Figure 12 The upper side (based on the reference) can be attached to the second fixing part 2535.

[0339] Since the first fixing part 2531 is in a fixed position, when the calf massage part 2300 moves upward (towards...) Figure 13 When the first fixed part 2531 moves (based on the reference), the second fixed part 2535 moves together, and when the second fixed part 2535 and the first fixed part 2531 are separated, the deformable body 2510 located between them can expand.

[0340] The deformable body 2510 can be formed with an internally hollow opening (not shown in the attached figure) that connects the interior and exterior. Gas can flow in or out through this opening. Therefore, as... Figure 13As shown, when the second fixing part 2535 is separated from the first fixing part 2531, gas can flow into the interior of the deformable body 2510 and cause the deformable body 2510 to expand.

[0341] Reference Figure 7C and Figure 11 The second moving part 2350 receives power from the first moving part 2270 and moves upward (towards) Figure 11 After moving (based on), the first moving part 2270 and the foot massage part 2200 including the first moving part 2270 move away from the calf massage part 2300 in a direction away from the calf massage part 2300. Figure 7C Based on the reference line BL, the upper end of the calf massage part 2300 can be maintained above the reference line BL for a specified time because the gas flowing into the deformable body 2510 is not discharged to the outside.

[0342] Secondly, when the gas is discharged from the deformable body 2510 to the outside, the volume of the deformable body 2510 can be reduced, and the calf massage part 2300 will return to the initial position of the second moving part 2350 on the connecting frame body 2130.

[0343] Therefore, at the upper end of the calf massage section 2300 (with Figure 7C With the reference line BL located above the rotation center axis AX1 passing through the hinge axis 2110, the leg massage unit 2000 can move in a direction separated from the calf massage unit 2300 (with reference to the reference line BL). Figure 7C Based on the reference, it moves from the top to the bottom until the first moving groove 2271 formed in the first moving part 2270 engages with the stop 2150 connected to the moving guide 2131, and can have the longest elongated state.

[0344] Therefore, since the leg length can be lengthened while keeping the user's knees pulled towards the side of the user's body, the hip stretching effect can be increased.

[0345] Simultaneously, the control unit 1200 can transmit an electrical signal to the air supply unit for drive and supply gas to the lifting drive unit 2215 to cause the lifting drive unit 2215 to expand. When the lifting drive unit 2215 expands, one side of the foot lifting part 2213, specifically the area corresponding to the user's heel, can rise (towards...) Figure 7C (Based on the baseline) rises, and can increase the stretching effect on the ankle.

[0346] Additionally, it has the following effect: in the case of a user with relatively short legs and whose soles do not contact the foot massage main body 2210, specifically, the foot lifting part 2213, the side of the foot lifting part 2213 corresponding to the user's heel is raised (towards...). Figure 7C It rises (based on the reference point) so that it can contact the bottom of the user's foot and provide a foot massage function.

[0347] As an optional embodiment, the deformable body 2510 is connected to an air supply unit (not shown in the figures) and can receive gas (e.g., air) from the air supply unit. Specifically, the deformable body 2510 can expand when air flows in from the air supply unit through a hole formed in the deformable body 2501.

[0348] Therefore, with the foot massager 2200 in a fixed position, the deformable body 2510 expands, and the calf massager 2300 can move away from the foot massager 2200.

[0349] In addition, it has the following effect: even if the foot massage unit 2200 does not rise toward the user's knee, as the deformable body 2510 expands, the calf massage unit 2300 can move independently away from the foot massage unit 2200.

[0350] Reference Figure 7A and Figure 7B The upper end of the second main frame 2330 of the calf massage section 2300 is provided (with Figure 7B (Based on the reference line BL) it can be moved to a position that is a predetermined height d1 higher than the reference line BL where the rotation center axis AX1 of the hinge axis 2110 is located.

[0351] That is, even when the foot massage unit 2200 is in contact with the calf massage unit 2300 and the calf massage unit 2300 does not rise, the deformable body 2510 will expand by receiving gas from the air supply unit, thereby raising the position of the calf massage unit 2300 independently, thus providing the effect of stretching the hip joint, etc.

[0352] In addition, when the air supply unit is driven, gas can be discharged from the deformable body 2510 through the holes formed in the deformable body 2510. When the gas is discharged, the deformable body 2510 can shrink and its volume becomes smaller.

[0353] Therefore, the calf massage unit 2300 can be located in the connecting frame unit 2100, specifically, on the connecting frame body 2130 along the direction toward the foot massage unit 2200 (with... Figure 7A (Based on the reference point, move from the top to the bottom)

[0354] Reference Figure 6 , Figures 7A to 7C , Figure 10 and Figure 12 According to one embodiment of this specification, the connecting drive unit 2400 can move the foot massage unit 2200 relative to the connecting frame unit 2100.

[0355] Specifically, in the connecting frame portion 2100, specifically in the connecting frame body 2130, since the rotation center axis AX1 of the hinge shaft 2110 is fixed to the seat frame 1120, the foot massage portion 2200 can move relative to the connecting frame portion 2100 by the drive of the connecting drive portion 2400.

[0356] Reference Figure 7C and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, the connection drive unit 2400 may include a drive source unit 2410, a guide unit 2450, and a block unit 2430.

[0357] Reference Figure 7C and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, the drive source unit 2410 receives power and generates power, and can be coupled to the foot massage unit 2200, specifically, coupled to the foot massage base 2211.

[0358] However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made, for example, it can be incorporated into the foot massage main body 2210, which is incorporated into the foot massage base 2211.

[0359] Reference Figure 7C and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, a guide portion 2450 is provided in the foot massage portion 2200, specifically in the foot massage base 2211, and can receive power from the drive source portion 2410 and rotate.

[0360] The guide portion 2450 extends along the central axis in the length direction and can rotate clockwise and / or counterclockwise about the central axis in the length direction as the rotation center axis.

[0361] According to one embodiment of this specification, the longitudinal central axis of the guide portion 2450 can be formed as a moving central axis parallel to the first moving portion 2270 and the second moving portion 2350.

[0362] Reference Figure 7C and Figure 10 In one embodiment of this specification, the guide portion 2450 has a thread (not specified) formed along the periphery of its outer peripheral surface, and the block portion 2430, which is opposite to the outer peripheral surface of the guide portion 2450, has a threaded groove formed along the periphery of its inner peripheral surface.

[0363] Therefore, when the guide portion 2450 receives power from the connecting drive portion 2400 and rotates with the length direction central axis as the rotation center axis, the block portion 2430 prevents rotation and is fixed to the connecting frame portion 2100, specifically, fixed to the connecting frame body 2130. Since a threaded groove is formed along the periphery of the inner circumferential surface opposite to the guide portion 2450, the guide portion 2450 and the block portion 2430 can move relative to each other.

[0364] That is, it has the following effects: the guide portion 2450 is connected through the block portion 2430, and its position is fixed as the threaded guide portion 2450 rotates; and the guide portion 2450 can be positioned along a predetermined direction (with) the inner side of the block portion 2430, on which the threaded groove is formed on its inner surface. Figure 10 (Using the vertical direction as a reference) move in a straight line.

[0365] Therefore, the guide portion 2450 and the foot massage portion 2200 combined with the guide portion 2450 can move relative to the connecting frame portion 2100.

[0366] Reference Figure 7C and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, the block portion 2430 is coupled to the connecting frame portion 2100, specifically, to the connecting frame body 2130, and is movable relative to the guide portion 2450. The block portion 2430 can be connected to the connecting frame body 2130 to surround the guide portion 2450.

[0367] A threaded groove may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the block portion 2430 to correspond to the thread shape formed around the outer peripheral surface of the guide portion 2450. The guide portion 2450 may pass through the block portion 2430 and be connected to the block portion 2430.

[0368] Reference Figure 7C and Figure 10 The block 2430 can be fixed and connected to the connecting frame body 2130.

[0369] Therefore, the guide portion 2450 rotates clockwise and / or counterclockwise by receiving power from the drive source portion 2410. At this time, since the block portion 2430 is fixed to the connecting frame body 2130 in a non-rotatable state, the guide portion 2450 moves relative to the block portion 2430.

[0370] That is, when the guide part 2450 and the block part 2430 move relative to each other, the foot massage part 2200 can move on the connecting frame part 2100.

[0371] According to one embodiment of this specification, the connecting drive unit 2400 receives power generated by the drive source unit 2410 and converts the rotational motion of the guide unit 2450 into linear motion. However, it is not limited to this. Various modifications can be made within the technical concept of the foot massage unit 2200 moving relative to the connecting frame unit 2100. For example, power can be transmitted by means of a rack and pinion.

[0372] Reference Figures 10 to 13 According to one embodiment of this specification, a modified part (driving part) 2500 is disposed between the connecting frame part 2100 and the calf massage part 2300, and transmits power to the calf massage part 2300 to move the calf massage part 2300 on the connecting frame part 2100, so that the calf massage part 2300 can change its position with the connecting frame part 2100 as a reference.

[0373] For example, the deformable part (driving part) 2500 may include a first fixing part 2531, a second fixing part 2535, a deformable body 2510 and / or a driving body (not shown in the figure).

[0374] The driving body can be an actuator that moves the calf massage unit 2300 on the connecting frame 2100 in the upward and / or downward direction of the calf massage unit 2300 by changing the length between one end and the other end of the driving body.

[0375] At this time, the driving body is similar to the deformable body 2510. One end of the driving body can be connected to the connecting frame part 2100 through the first fixing part 2531, and the other end of the driving body can be connected to the calf massage part 2300 through the second fixing part 2535.

[0376] When the calf massage unit 2300 moves on the connecting frame unit 2100, the shape of the deformable body 2510 can be deformed, and the deformable body 2510 can move the calf massage unit 2300 by deforming its shape, on one side (with Figure 12 The lower side (based on the reference) is connected to the connecting frame portion 2100, specifically, it is combined with the first fixing portion 2531 connected to the connecting frame body 2130, and the opposite side (with Figure 12 The upper side (based on the reference) can be connected to the calf massage part 2300, specifically, to the second main body frame 2330.

[0377] Therefore, when the calf massage part 2300, specifically the second main frame 2330, moves, the second fixing part 2535, which is coupled to the second main frame 2330, can move together.

[0378] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13When the first moving part 2270 is in contact with the second moving part 2350, the second moving part 2350 can be pushed and lifted in the direction of the hinge axis 2110, and when the second moving part 2350 moves, the second fixing part 2535 attached to the second main body frame 2330 also moves together.

[0379] Since the first fixing part 2531 is in a fixed position, when the calf massage part 2300 moves upward (towards...) Figure 13 When the first fixed part 2531 moves (based on the reference), the second fixed part 2535 moves together, and when the second fixed part 2535 and the first fixed part 2531 are separated, the deformable body 2510 located between them can expand.

[0380] A hole can be formed in the deformable body 2510 to connect the outside and the inside, and gas can flow in or out through the hole. Therefore, as Figure 13 As shown, when the second fixing part 2535 is separated from the first fixing part 2531, gas can flow into the interior of the deformable body 2510 and cause the deformable body 2510 to expand.

[0381] Reference Figure 11 In a modified body 2510 according to one embodiment of this specification, a through hole (not specified in the reference numerals) may be formed to allow the drive part 2400 to be connected, specifically, the guide part 2450 to pass through.

[0382] Therefore, collisions between the guide portion 2450 and the deformable body 2510 are prevented, and the volume of the deformable body 2510 can expand or contract when the distance between the first fixing portion 2531 and the second fixing portion 2535 changes.

[0383] Reference Figure 7C and Figure 11 The second moving part 2350 receives power from the first moving part 2270 and moves upward (towards) Figure 11 After moving (based on), the first moving part 2270 and the foot massage part 2200 including the first moving part 2270 move away from the calf massage part 2300 in a direction away from the calf massage part 2300. Figure 7C (Based on the reference point, move from the top to the bottom)

[0384] In this case, since the gas flowing into the deformable body 2510 is not discharged to the outside, the upper end of the calf massage part 2300 can be maintained above the baseline BL for a specified time.

[0385] Secondly, when the gas is discharged from the deformable body 2510 to the outside, the volume of the deformable body 2510 can be reduced, and the calf massage part 2300 will return to the initial position of the second moving part 2350 on the connecting frame body 2130.

[0386] Therefore, at the upper end of the calf massage section 2300 (with Figure 7C With the reference line BL located above the rotation center axis AX1 passing through the hinge axis 2110, the leg massage unit 2000 can move in a direction separated from the calf massage unit 2300 (with reference to the reference line BL). Figure 7C Based on the reference, it moves from the top to the bottom until the first moving groove 2271 formed in the first moving part 2270 engages with the stop 2150 connected to the moving guide 2131, and can have the longest elongated state.

[0387] Therefore, while keeping the user's knees pulled towards the side of the user's body, the leg length can be lengthened, thus increasing the hip stretching effect.

[0388] Furthermore, since the calf massage unit 2300 returns to the reference state by gravity of the calf massage unit 2310 while the volume of the deformable main body 2510 decreases, a separate drive unit is not required.

[0389] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 10 According to one embodiment of this specification, the length sensor unit 2600 measures the relative movement length between the connecting frame unit 2100 and the foot massage unit 2200, and may include a sensor body 2610 and a sensor plate 2650.

[0390] The sensor body 2610 can be fixed to the connecting frame part 2100, specifically, fixed to the connecting frame body 2130. The sensor plate 2650 can be disposed on the foot massage part 2200 that moves on the connecting frame part 2100, specifically, the first main frame 2250.

[0391] The sensor body 2610 can be formed of a magnet. When the connecting frame part 2100 and the foot massage part 2200 move relative to each other, the distance between the sensor body 2610 and the sensor plate 2650 changes. The relative movement length between the connecting frame part 2100 and the foot massage part 2200 can be measured by detecting the magnetic field change caused by this, and the change in leg length can also be measured.

[0392] According to one embodiment of this specification, the length sensor unit 2600 is formed as a Hall sensor, but it is not limited thereto. Various modifications can be made within the technical concept of measuring the relative movement length between the connecting frame unit 2100 and the foot massage unit 2200 according to the measurement position. For example, a touch sensor, pressure sensor, infrared sensor, LED sensor, light sensor, and electrostatic sensor can be used.

[0393] Reference Figure 5A and Figure 5BAccording to one embodiment of this specification, the hinge drive unit 2700 can contact the connecting frame unit 2100 and transmit power to the connecting frame unit 2100, thereby enabling the connecting frame unit 2100 to rotate around a preset rotation center axis.

[0394] The hinge drive unit 2700 can contact the support portion 2135 formed on the connecting frame portion 2100, specifically on the connecting frame body 2130. When in contact with the support portion 2135, power can be transmitted to the support portion 2135.

[0395] Therefore, the main body of the connecting frame 2130 can rotate by a predetermined angle about the central axis of the hinge axis 2110 along its length direction.

[0396] Therefore, since the foot massage unit 2200 and the calf massage unit 2300 connected to the connecting frame unit 2100 rotate together, the angle of the leg massage unit 2000 on which the user's leg is placed using the massage device 100 can be adjusted.

[0397] As an optional embodiment, a roller (not specified in the reference numerals) is provided at one end of the hinge drive unit 2700 that can contact the support portion 2135 formed on the connecting frame body 2130. Since the roller makes rolling contact with the support portion 2135, it has the effect of reducing friction between the support portion 2135 and the hinge drive unit 2700.

[0398] Reference Figure 5A and Figure 5B The hinge drive unit 2700 is an actuator whose length can be adjusted along a preset direction, but it is not limited to this. Within the technical concept of transmitting power to the support unit 2135 through linear motion to rotate the connecting frame unit 2100, various modifications can be implemented, such as an electric motor method.

[0399] The structure, working principle, and effects of a massage device according to another embodiment of this specification will be described below.

[0400] Figure 14 This is a diagram illustrating the second moving part of another embodiment of this specification.

[0401] In another embodiment of the massage device according to this specification, the structure of the leg massage unit 2000 is different only in the second moving part 2350' provided in the calf massage unit 2300', and therefore will be described in detail.

[0402] The second moving part 2350' is coupled to the second main body frame 2230 and can move on the connecting frame part 2100, specifically on the connecting frame body 2130. The second moving part 2350' may be provided with at least one roller (not specified in the drawings) rotatably connected to the second main body frame 2230.

[0403] Since the second moving part 2350' makes rolling contact with the inner circumferential surface of the connecting frame body 2130, it has the effect of reducing the friction between the second moving part 2350' and the connecting frame body 2130.

[0404] In another embodiment of the massage device according to this specification, the structure of the leg massage unit 2000 is the same as that of the connecting frame unit 2100, foot massage unit 2200, connecting drive unit 2400, deformable unit 2500, length sensor unit 2600, and hinge drive unit 2700 according to one embodiment of this specification, except that rollers are provided, which are different from the second moving part 2350 that can contact and move with the surface of the connecting frame body 2130. Therefore, detailed descriptions are omitted within the scope of repetition.

[0405] In the massage device 100 according to the embodiments of this specification, the foot massage unit 2200 and the calf massage units 2300, 2300' can move relative to each other on the connecting frame unit 2100 in a direction that approaches each other, a direction that separates each other, or a direction that is the same as each other, and can be driven independently. Therefore, in the shortest extension state, the hip joint stretching effect can be increased, and in the longest extension state, the stretching effect can be increased by increasing the leg length.

[0406] Furthermore, since the volume of the deformable body 2510 expands or contracts when the foot massage unit 2200 and the calf massage units 2300, 2300' move relative to each other on the connecting frame unit 2100, it has the effect of maintaining the position for a specified time even when the foot massage unit 2200 is separated and lowered while the calf massage units 2300, 2300' are raised, and increasing the stretching range in the longest extended state.

[0407] The following describes the operation of the hip joint relaxation mode using the massage device 100 according to an embodiment of this specification. The control methods of each component of the massage device 100 have been described above, so repeated descriptions will be omitted.

[0408] The hip relaxation mode described in this specification can refer to the control mode of the massage device 100 used to stretch the user's hip joint and legs. The term "hip relaxation mode" is used to describe the control mode of the massage device 100 according to this specification and is not intended to be limiting.

[0409] As described above, the massage device 100 may include a body massage unit 1000, a leg massage unit 2000, and a control unit 1200. The body massage unit 1000 can support the body of a seated user.

[0410] The leg massage unit 2000 may include a first leg massage unit and a second leg massage unit hinged to the body massage unit 1000. The first leg massage unit may accommodate the right or left foot of a user seated on the massage device 100, and the second leg massage unit may accommodate a foot not accommodated by the first leg massage unit.

[0411] As described above, the explanation will be based on the first leg massage unit 2000A accommodating the user's right foot. However, the first leg massage unit 2000A does not necessarily refer to the leg massage unit accommodating the user's right foot. The first leg massage unit and the second leg massage unit can refer to any one of a plurality of leg massage units that are independently controlled. The first leg massage unit can refer to the leg massage unit accommodating the user's left foot, and the second leg massage unit can refer to the leg massage unit accommodating the user's right foot.

[0412] The control unit 1200 can control the body massage unit 1000, the first leg massage unit 2000A, and the second leg massage unit 2000B.

[0413] The control unit 1200 can output electrical signals to control at least one of the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B. The control unit 1200 can output electrical signals to the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B to perform the same movement, and the control unit 1200 can also output electrical signals to the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B to perform different movements.

[0414] The first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B are independently separated from each other, and the angle and length of the first leg massage unit 2000A, the angle and length of the second leg massage unit 2000B can be adjusted independently from each other.

[0415] As described above, the leg massage unit 2000 is rotatably connected to the body massage unit 1000 via hinge shaft 2110. The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to cause the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate about the rotation center axis AX1 of the hinge shaft 2110. The control unit 1200 can also output an electrical signal to the leg angle actuator to cause the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate.

[0416] The control unit 1200 can control at least one of the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B to stimulate the hip joint of a user seated in the massage device 100.

[0417] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 1200 can adjust the length of the first leg massage unit 2000A by raising it above the connection point connecting the first leg massage unit 2000A and the body massage unit 1000, so as to stimulate the user's hip joint.

[0418] The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first leg massage unit 2000A, causing a portion of the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise above the connecting portion. The first leg massage unit 2000A can move up and down on the connecting frame portion 2100.

[0419] At this time, the connecting part can be configured on the upper part of the first leg massage part 2000A, and can be the hinge shaft 2110 connecting the first leg massage part 2000A and the body massage part 1000.

[0420] As described above, the control unit 1200 can move the first leg massage unit 2000A upward so that the upper end of the first leg massage unit 2000A rises towards the upper side of the hinge shaft 2110.

[0421] The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first leg massage unit 2000A to cause the upper end of the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise towards the upper side of the hinge shaft 2110.

[0422] According to one embodiment of this specification, the leg massage unit 2000 may include a calf massage unit 2300 located at the upper end of the leg massage unit 2000 and a foot massage unit 2200 located at the lower end of the leg massage unit 2000. The calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200 are capable of moving up and down independently of each other. The control unit 1200 can raise at least one of the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200.

[0423] The first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B may include a calf massage unit 2300 located at the upper end of the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B, and a foot massage unit 2200 located at the lower end of the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B. The calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200 are capable of moving up and down independently of each other. The control unit 1200 can raise at least one of the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200. In addition, the control unit 1200 can lower at least one of the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200.

[0424] As shown below Figure 16 As shown, the first leg massage unit 2000A may include a first foot massage unit 2200A and a first calf massage unit 2300A, and the second leg massage unit 2000B may include a second foot massage unit 2200B and a second calf massage unit 2300B.

[0425] The control unit 1200 can output electrical signals to move the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200. The control unit 1200 can control the upward movement of the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200 on the movement guide 2131 by outputting an electrical signal to at least one of them.

[0426] According to one embodiment of this specification, the calf massage unit 2300 may include a calf drive unit 2500, which is disposed behind the calf massage unit 2300 to raise and lower the calf massage unit 2300. The calf drive unit 2500 may refer to the drive unit (deformable part) 2500. With the second fixing part 2535 and the first fixing part 2531 spaced apart, the calf drive unit 2500 can move the calf massage unit 2300 upward by inflating the hip joint airbag (deformable body 2510) located between the second fixing part 2535 and the first fixing part 2531, or by receiving air from the air supply unit to inflate the hip joint airbag (deformable body 2510). The fact that the drive unit 2500 moves the calf massage unit 2300 upward on the connecting frame part 2100 has already been described above, and therefore, a repeating description will be omitted.

[0427] The foot massage unit 2200 may include a foot drive unit 2400, which is disposed behind the foot massage unit 2200 to raise or lower the foot massage unit 2200. The foot drive unit 2400 may refer to the connecting drive unit 2400.

[0428] The connection drive unit 2400 may refer to a leg length adjustment actuator disposed in the leg massage unit 2000. The driving mechanism of the connection drive unit 2400 has already been described above, so a repeating description will be omitted.

[0429] The first calf massage unit 2300A may include a first calf drive unit, which is disposed behind the first calf massage unit 2300A to raise and lower the first calf massage unit 2300A. The first calf drive unit may refer to a drive unit 2500 disposed behind the first calf massage unit 2300A.

[0430] The first foot massage unit 2200A may include a first foot drive unit, which is disposed at the rear of the first foot massage unit 2200A to raise or lower the first foot massage unit 2200A. The first foot drive unit may refer to a connecting drive unit 2400 disposed at the rear of the first foot massage unit 2200A.

[0431] The second calf massage unit 2300B may include a second calf drive unit, which is disposed behind the second calf massage unit 2300B to raise and lower the second calf massage unit 2300B. The second calf drive unit may refer to a drive unit 2500 disposed behind the second calf massage unit 2300B.

[0432] The second foot massage unit 2200B may include a second foot drive unit, which is disposed at the rear of the second foot massage unit 2200B to raise or lower the second foot massage unit 2200B. The second foot drive unit may refer to a connecting drive unit 2400 disposed at the rear of the second foot massage unit 2200B.

[0433] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 1200 can move the first foot massage unit 2200A upward so that the upper ends of the first foot massage unit 2200A and the first calf massage unit 2300A rise towards the upper side of the connecting portion.

[0434] The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to move the first foot massage unit 2200A upward. The first foot massage unit 2200A can move upward on the connecting frame unit 2100. For example... Figure 7BAs shown, the first foot massage unit 2200A can push the first calf massage unit 2300A to move it upward. At this time, the upper end of the first calf massage unit 2300A can rise upward toward the hinge axis 2110. This means that a portion of the upper end of the first calf massage unit 2300A can protrude upward toward the hinge axis 2110.

[0435] The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first foot drive unit to move the first foot massage unit 2200A upward. The first foot drive unit can provide power to move the first foot massage unit 2200A upward.

[0436] According to other embodiments of this specification, the control unit 1200 can move the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A upwards, so that the upper end of the first calf massage unit 2300A rises upwards toward the connecting portion.

[0437] The control unit 1200 can output electrical signals to move the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A upward. The first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A can receive electrical signals from the control unit 1200 to move upward. The upward movement of the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A allows the upper end of the first calf massage unit 2300A to rise towards the hinge shaft 2110.

[0438] The control unit 1200 can output electrical signals to the first foot drive unit and the first calf drive unit. The first foot drive unit can move the first foot massage unit 2200A upwards towards the connecting frame unit 2100. The first calf drive unit can move the first calf massage unit 2300A upwards towards the connecting frame unit 2100.

[0439] At this time, after the control unit 1200 moves the first foot massage unit 2200A upward, when the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A are adjacent, the control unit 1200 can move the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A upward.

[0440] The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first foot drive unit to move the first foot massage unit 2200A upward. The first foot drive unit can provide a driving force to move the first foot massage unit 2200A upward. Through the upward movement of the first foot massage unit 2200A, the distance between the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A can be reduced.

[0441] When the distance between the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A is below a preset distance value, the control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first calf massage unit 2300A to move it upward.

[0442] As described above, the leg massage unit 2000 may include a length sensor unit 2600. The length sensor unit 2600 can sense the length of the leg massage unit 2000 based on the movement of the foot massage unit 2200. The length sensor unit 2600 can sense the distance between the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200. When the distance between the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200 sensed by the length sensor unit 2600 is below a preset distance value, the control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the calf massage unit 2300 to move it upwards.

[0443] Additionally, the control unit 1200 can measure the movement time of the foot massage unit 2200. The control unit 1200 can measure the time for outputting an electrical signal to the connection drive unit 2400. The control unit 1200 can measure the driving time of the connection drive unit 2400. The control unit 1200 can calculate the rising distance of the foot massage unit 2200 based on the driving time of the connection drive unit 2400. The control unit 1200 can use the rising distance of the foot massage unit 2200 to calculate the distance between the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200. When the calculated distance between the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200 is below a preset distance value, the control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the calf massage unit 2300 to move it upwards.

[0444] The method for calculating the distance between the calf massage unit 2300 and the foot massage unit 2200 is just one example and is not limited to this.

[0445] When the distance between the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A is below a preset distance value, the control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit to make the first calf massage unit 2300A move upward.

[0446] According to another embodiment of this specification, in order to raise the upper end of the first calf massage unit 2300A to the upper side of the connecting portion, the control unit 1200 moves the first calf massage unit 2300A upward while inflating or simultaneously inflating the calf airbag of the first calf massage unit.

[0447] The leg massage unit 2000 may include at least one airbag. The inner surface of the calf massage unit 2300 includes at least one calf airbag. The control unit 1200 may output an electrical signal to the air supply unit to control the inflation of the calf airbag.

[0448] At least a portion of the airbags in at least one of the calf airbags in the calf massage unit 2300 may be equipped with heating components. For example, heating components may be provided in at least one calf airbag in the first calf massage unit 2300A, and heating components may be provided in at least one calf airbag in the second calf massage unit 2300B.

[0449] After the control unit 1200 inflates the calf airbag by outputting an electrical signal to the air supply unit, it can output an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit to move the first calf massage unit 2300A upward.

[0450] In addition, the control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit while simultaneously outputting an electrical signal to the air supply unit, so that the first calf massage unit 2300A moves upward.

[0451] The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to move only the calf massage unit 2300 upward. At this time, the foot massage unit 2200 may not move upward on the connecting frame 2100. When only the calf massage unit 2300 moves upward, the user's legs seated in the massage device 100 may not rise with the calf massage unit 2300.

[0452] By inflating the calf airbag, the user's calf can be fixed to the calf massage unit 2300 while seated in the massage device 100. With the user's calf fixed to the calf massage unit 2300, the calf massage unit 2300 rises upward, allowing the user's leg to rise upward together with the calf massage unit 2300.

[0453] In hip relaxation mode, due to the raising of the leg massage section located on one side of the massage device 100, the user's leg, which is accommodated in the corresponding leg massage section, can rise. Therefore, the user's hip joint on one side can be stimulated, and the muscles around the user's hip joint on that side can be relaxed.

[0454] Figure 16 This is a reference diagram illustrating part of the movements of a hip joint relaxation pattern according to an embodiment of this specification.

[0455] Reference Figure 16 The control unit 1200 can control the execution of the hip joint relaxation mode when the massage device 100 is in a preset ready posture. For example, the massage device 100 can execute the hip joint relaxation mode in a seated mode. The seated mode can refer to a state where the body massage unit 1000 and the leg massage unit 2000 are not tilted (rotated). As described above, the body massage unit 1000 can tilt backward. In addition, the leg massage unit 2000 can rotate around the rotation center axis AX1 of the hinge shaft 2110. The seated mode can refer to a state where the body massage unit 1000 is not tilted backward and the leg massage unit 2000 is not rotated. At this time, the rear surface of the body massage unit 1000 can be in a state farthest from the ground, and the lower end of the foot massage unit 2200 can form a contact surface with the ground. In addition, the lower end of the foot massage unit 2200 can be spaced apart from the ground according to the height of the user sitting on the massage device 100. At this time, the lower end of the foot massage unit 2200 can be closest to the ground.

[0456] As another example, the massage device 100 can be used in a zero-gravity mode ( Figure 16 The hip joint relaxation mode is performed as shown in the upper side view. The zero-gravity mode can refer to a state in which the body massage unit 1000 is tilted backward to its maximum extent. The state in which the body massage unit 1000 is tilted backward to its maximum extent can refer to a state in which the rear surface of the body massage unit 1000 is closest to the ground. As the body massage unit 1000 tilts backward, the leg massage unit 2000 can be lifted from the ground.

[0457] Additionally, the zero-gravity mode can be a state where the leg massage unit 2000 rotates to a preset angle. The zero-gravity mode can also refer to a state where the leg massage unit 2000 tilts forward at a preset angle. The zero-gravity mode can be a state where the leg massage unit 2000 tilts forward and lifts towards the front of the massage device 100. It can also be a state where the leg massage unit 2000 rotates forward so that the lower end of the foot massage unit 2200 is away from the ground. The user sitting on the massage device 100 can change to a lying position on the massage device 100 according to the posture in the zero-gravity mode. The zero-gravity mode can be a state where the leg massage unit 2000 rotates to 70% of its maximum rotation angle. When the leg massage unit 2000 rotates to its maximum rotation angle, the lower end of the foot massage unit 2200 can be furthest from the ground.

[0458] In the zero-gravity mode, the degree to which the leg massage unit 2000 tilts forward can be changed according to the user's body characteristics associated information.

[0459] Furthermore, in the zero-gravity mode, the length of the leg massage unit 2000 can be changed according to the user's body characteristics. As described above, the length of the leg massage unit 2000 can be relatively longer when a tall user sits on the massage device 100 compared to when a short user sits on the massage device 100.

[0460] The massage device 100 performs hip joint relaxation mode actions in the zero-gravity mode, which can provide users with a further enhanced hip joint stimulation effect.

[0461] The control unit 1200 can control the massage device 100 to perform hip joint relaxation mode movements in the zero-gravity mode. The posture in the zero-gravity mode is only one example and is not limited to that posture. Various embodiments can be generated according to the posture of the massage device 100.

[0462] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 1200 can be controlled to perform at least one of the following actions before, after, or during the upward movement of the first leg massage unit 2000A: tilting the first leg massage unit 2000A forward and raising one side of the lower end of the first leg massage unit 2000A.

[0463] The control unit 1200 may output an electrical signal before, after, or during the process of outputting an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit in order to move the first leg massage unit 2000A upward, so as to lift the first leg massage unit 2000A forward. Figure 16(Intermediate diagram). The control unit 1200 can control the output of an electrical signal to the leg angle actuator to lift the first leg massage unit 2000A forward before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit in order to move the first leg massage unit 2000A upward.

[0464] Before the control unit 1200 outputs an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit, it may refer to a state where the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A are not moving.

[0465] After the control unit 1200 outputs an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit, it can indicate that the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A have completed their movement.

[0466] The process of the control unit 1200 outputting electrical signals to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit can refer to the state in which the first calf massage unit 2300A and the first foot massage unit 2200A are moving.

[0467] When the first leg massage unit 2000A is lifted forward, the upward movement of the first leg massage unit 2000A can mean moving towards the frame unit 1100. Alternatively, the upward movement of the first leg massage unit 2000A can mean that the first foot massage unit 2200A and the first calf massage unit 2300A move closer to each other.

[0468] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 1200 can tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward or fix the position of the second leg massage unit 2000B in a manner that is linked to an action that tilts the first leg massage unit 2000A.

[0469] The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to a first leg angle actuator disposed on the first leg massage unit 2000A to lift the first leg massage unit 2000A forward. At this time, the control unit 1200 can also output an electrical signal to a second leg angle actuator disposed on the second leg massage unit 2000B to tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward. The control unit 1200 can also output an electrical signal to the second leg angle actuator to lower the second leg massage unit 2000B towards the ground. Figure 16 (The middle image).

[0470] Furthermore, the control unit 1200 may not output an electrical signal to the second leg angle actuator to prevent the second leg massage unit 2000B from descending towards the ground. Therefore, the second leg massage unit 2000B can be fixed in position in the zero-gravity mode posture. Additionally, the second leg massage unit 2000B can maintain any posture.

[0471] Preferably, the control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the second leg angle actuator to cause the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend toward the ground.

[0472] At this time, the control unit 1200 can lower the second leg massage unit 2000B to the lower side or fix the position of the second leg massage unit 2000B in a manner that is linked to the action of raising the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side.

[0473] Before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit, the control unit 1200 may lower the second leg massage unit 2000B to the lower side or fix the position of the second leg massage unit 2000B, in order to move the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side.

[0474] Before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit, the control unit 1200 may output an electrical signal to the second calf drive unit and / or the second foot drive unit to cause the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend to the lower side.

[0475] When the second leg massage unit 2000B is in a zero-gravity mode posture, or changes from a zero-gravity mode posture to descending towards the ground, the downward movement of the second leg massage unit 2000B can mean moving away from the frame part 1100. Additionally, when the second leg massage unit 2000B is in a zero-gravity mode posture, or changes from a zero-gravity mode posture to descending towards the ground, the downward movement of the second leg massage unit 2000B can mean moving away from the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B. Furthermore, when the second leg massage unit 2000B is in a zero-gravity mode posture, or changes from a zero-gravity mode posture to descending towards the ground, the downward movement of the second leg massage unit 2000B can mean moving towards the ground.

[0476] Furthermore, the control unit 1200 may not output electrical signals to the second calf drive unit and the second foot drive unit, so as not to cause the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend downwards. Therefore, the second leg massage unit 2000B can remain in a fixed position without descending downwards. Additionally, the second leg massage unit 2000B can maintain any posture.

[0477] Preferably, the control unit 1200 can lower the second leg massage unit 2000B to the lower side in a manner linked to the action of raising the first leg massage unit 2000A upward. Figure 16 (See the bottom image).

[0478] The first leg massage unit 2000A is raised forward, and the second leg massage unit 2000B is lowered towards the ground, allowing one leg of the user seated in the massage device 100 to be raised forward and the other leg to be lowered towards the ground. Furthermore, the leg massage unit accommodating one leg of the user can rise upward, and the leg massage unit accommodating the other leg can lower downward. Compared to using only one leg massage unit to perform a hip joint relaxation mode, the massage device 100 using both leg massage units to perform a hip joint relaxation mode provides a more stimulating effect on one side of the user's hip joint, resulting in greater relaxation of the muscles surrounding that side of the user's hip joint.

[0479] exist Figure 16 The illustration shows that after the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B tilt forward and backward respectively, the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B move upward and downward respectively, but this is only an example and is not limited to the order described.

[0480] Figure 17 This is a reference diagram illustrating part of the hip joint relaxation pattern according to another embodiment of this specification.

[0481] Reference Figure 17 The massage device 100 can operate in the zero-gravity mode ( Figure 17 The hip joint relaxation mode is performed below the upper side view. The control unit 1200 can control the first leg massage unit 2000A to perform at least one of the following actions: tilting the first leg massage unit 2000A forward and raising one side of the lower end of the first leg massage unit 2000A before, after, or while the first leg massage unit 2000A moves upward.

[0482] The control unit 1200 may output an electrical signal before, after, or during the process of outputting an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit in order to move the first leg massage unit 2000A upward, so as to lift the first leg massage unit 2000A forward. Figure 17 (Intermediate diagram). The control unit 1200 can control the output of an electrical signal to the leg angle actuator to lift the first leg massage unit 2000A forward before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit in order to move the first leg massage unit 2000A upward.

[0483] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 1200 can tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward or fix the position of the second leg massage unit 2000B in a manner that is linked to an action that tilts the first leg massage unit 2000A.

[0484] The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to a first leg angle actuator disposed on the first leg massage unit 2000A to lift the first leg massage unit 2000A forward. At this time, the control unit 1200 can also output an electrical signal to a second leg angle actuator disposed on the second leg massage unit 2000B to tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward. The control unit 1200 can also output an electrical signal to the second leg angle actuator to lower the second leg massage unit 2000B towards the ground. Figure 17 (The middle image).

[0485] Furthermore, the control unit 1200 may not output an electrical signal to the second leg angle actuator to prevent the second leg massage unit 2000B from descending towards the ground. Therefore, the second leg massage unit 2000B can be fixed in position during the zero-gravity mode. Additionally, the second leg massage unit 2000B can maintain any posture.

[0486] Preferably, the control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the second leg angle actuator to cause the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend towards the ground. Figure 17 (The middle image).

[0487] At this time, the control unit 1200 can lower the second leg massage unit 2000B to the lower side or fix the position of the second leg massage unit 2000B in a manner that is linked to the action of raising the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side.

[0488] Before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit, the control unit 1200 may lower the second leg massage unit 2000B to the lower side or fix the position of the second leg massage unit 2000B, in order to move the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side.

[0489] Before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit, the control unit 1200 may output an electrical signal to the second calf drive unit and / or the second foot drive unit to cause the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend to the lower side.

[0490] The control unit 1200 can move the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B downwards.

[0491] Furthermore, after the control unit 1200 moves the second foot massage unit 2200B downwards, when the second calf massage unit 2300B and the second foot massage unit 2200B are separated by a preset distance or more, the second calf massage unit 2300B and the second foot massage unit 2200B can be moved downwards. At this time, the downward movement of the second calf massage unit 2300B is restricted by the stop unit 2150.

[0492] Furthermore, the control unit 1200 may not output electrical signals to the second calf drive unit and the second foot drive unit, so as not to cause the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend to the lower side. Therefore, the second leg massage unit 2000B can remain in a fixed position without descending to the lower side.

[0493] Preferably, the control unit 1200 can lower the second leg massage unit 2000B to the lower side in a manner that is linked to the action of raising the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side. Figure 17 (See the bottom image).

[0494] Additionally, the control unit 1200 may output an electrical signal before, after, or during the process of outputting an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit to move the first leg massage unit 2000A upward, so as to cause one side of the lower end of the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise. Figure 17 (See the bottom image).

[0495] As described above, the foot massage unit 2200 may include foot bottom lifting units 2213, 2213' and lifting drive units 2215, 2215' (see reference) Figures 7A to 7C , Figures 15A to 15B The control unit 1200 can control and output electrical signals to drive the lifting drive units 2215 and 2215', causing one side of the foot-mounted lifting units 2213 and 2213' to rise and fall. One side of the foot-mounted lifting units 2213 and 2213' can refer to the area where the user's heel is located when the user's foot is accommodated in the foot massage unit 2200, and the other side can refer to the area where the user's toes are located. Raising and falling on one side of the foot-mounted lifting units 2213 and 2213' can mean that the foot-mounted lifting units 2213 and 2213' rotate so that one side of the foot-mounted lifting units 2213 and 2213' approaches the calf massage unit 2300. Alternatively, raising and falling on one side of the foot-mounted lifting units 2213 and 2213' can mean that one side of the foot-mounted lifting units 2213 and 2213' moves away from the lower end of the foot massage unit 2200. The lifting and lowering of one side of the foot bottom lifting parts 2213, 2213' by the lifting drive parts 2215, 2215' has been described above, so a detailed description will be omitted.

[0496] Before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit to move the first leg massage unit 2000A upward, the control unit 1200 can drive the first lifting drive unit 2215 disposed on the first foot massage unit 2200A to raise one side of the lower end of the first leg massage unit 2000A. Similarly, before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit and / or the first foot drive unit to move the first leg massage unit 2000A upward, the control unit 1200 can drive the first lifting drive unit 2215 disposed on the first foot massage unit 2200A to raise one side of the first foot bottom lifting unit 2213A disposed on the first foot massage unit 2200A.

[0497] In addition, the control unit 1200 can raise one side of the lower end of the second leg massage unit 2000B or fix the position of one side of the lower end of the second leg massage unit 2000B in a manner that is linked to the action of raising one side of the lower end of the first leg massage unit 2000A.

[0498] The control unit 1200 can control the second lifting drive unit disposed on the second foot massage unit 2200B to raise or lower one side of the second foot massage unit 2213B before, after, or during the process of driving the first lifting drive unit to raise or lower one side of the first foot bottom lifting unit 2213A.

[0499] Furthermore, the control unit 1200 can prevent the second lifting drive unit from being driven. Therefore, the second foot bottom lifting part 2213B can remain stationary and in a fixed position without lifting or lowering.

[0500] Preferably, the control unit 1200 can raise one side of the lower end of the second leg massage unit 2000B in a manner linked to an action that raises one side of the lower end of the first leg massage unit 2000A. Figure 17 (See the bottom image).

[0501] The first leg massage unit 2000A is raised forward, and the second leg massage unit 2000B is lowered towards the ground, allowing one leg of the user seated in the massage device 100 to be raised forward and the other leg to be lowered towards the ground. Furthermore, the leg massage unit accommodating one leg of the user can rise upward, the leg massage unit accommodating the other leg can lower downward, and one side of the foot-lifting unit can rise. In the massage device 100, compared to when one side of the foot-lifting unit is not raised, when one side of the foot-lifting unit is raised, a more stimulating effect can be provided to the user's hip joint on that side, resulting in greater relaxation of the muscles surrounding the user's hip joint on that side.

[0502] exist Figure 17 The illustration shows that after the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B tilt forward and backward respectively, the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B move upward and downward respectively, and one side of the foot lifting part rises. However, this is only an example and is not limited to the order described.

[0503] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 1200 can be controlled to sequentially or simultaneously perform the actions of tilting the first leg massage unit 2000A forward and raising one side of the lower end of the first leg massage unit 2000A.

[0504] The control unit 1200 can drive the first lifting drive unit to raise one side of the first foot bottom lifting unit 2213A during the process of outputting an electrical signal to the first leg massage unit 2000A in order to lift the first leg massage unit 2000A forward.

[0505] In addition, before the control unit 1200 outputs an electrical signal to the first leg massage unit 2000A in order to lift the first leg massage unit 2000A forward, it can drive the first lifting drive unit to lift one side of the first foot bottom lifting unit 2213A.

[0506] In addition, after the control unit 1200 outputs an electrical signal to the first leg massage unit 2000A in order to lift the first leg massage unit 2000A forward, it can drive the first lifting drive unit to lift one side of the first foot bottom lifting unit 2213A.

[0507] In addition, the control unit 1200 can control the execution of actions such as raising the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side, lowering the second leg massage unit 2000B to the lower side, tilting the first leg massage unit 2000A forward, tilting the second leg massage unit 2000B backward, raising one side of the lower end of the first leg massage unit 2000A, and raising one side of the lower end of the second leg massage unit 2000B.

[0508] Preferably, the control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first leg massage unit 2000A to tilt the first leg massage unit 2000A forward, and can output an electrical signal to the second leg massage unit 2000B to tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward. Then, the control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first leg massage unit 2000A to raise it upward, and output an electrical signal to the second leg massage unit 2000B to lower it downward, driving the first lifting drive unit to raise and lower the first foot-side lifting unit 2213A, and driving the second lifting drive unit to raise and lower the second foot-side lifting unit 2213B. This is merely an example and is not limited to the stated order.

[0509] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 1200 can determine the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A moves upward based on the user's body characteristic information, and control the operation to move the first leg massage unit 2000A upward based on the determination result.

[0510] In addition, the control unit 1200 can determine the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B moves downward based on the user's body characteristic information, and control the operation to move the second leg massage unit 2000B downward based on the determination result.

[0511] According to one embodiment of this specification, the massage device 100 can receive user's body characteristic information via the user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD. For example, the user can input their height information using the user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD. The control unit 1200 can use the received user height information to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A should rise upwards. The control unit 1200 can then raise the first leg massage unit 2000A upwards based on the calculated value. The control unit 1200 can also use the received user height information to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B should descend downwards. The control unit 1200 can then lower the second leg massage unit 2000B downwards based on the calculated value.

[0512] Compared to a shorter user, in the case of a taller user, the control unit 1200 can control the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise to a relatively higher position. Compared to a shorter user, in the case of a taller user, the control unit 1200 can control the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend to a relatively lower position.

[0513] As another example, a user can input leg length information using the user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD. The control unit 1200 can use the received leg length information to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upwards. Additionally, the control unit 1200 can use the received leg length information to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends downwards.

[0514] Compared to users with shorter leg lengths, in the case of users with longer leg lengths, the control unit 1200 can control the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise to a relatively higher position. Compared to users with shorter leg lengths, in the case of users with longer leg lengths, the control unit 1200 can control the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend to a relatively lower position.

[0515] The user's height and leg length information are examples of user body characteristic-related information and are not limited by the information itself.

[0516] According to other embodiments of this specification, the storage unit 1300 may store at least one body characteristic association information. A user can use the user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD to select any one of the stored body characteristic association information. The user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD can generate an input signal for the selected information and transmit it to the control unit 1200. The control unit 1200 can calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upwards based on the body characteristic association information corresponding to the input signal. The control unit 1200 can calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends downwards based on the body characteristic association information corresponding to the input signal.

[0517] For example, the storage unit 1300 can pre-store the body characteristic association information of the first to third users. The control unit 1200 can display a user selection screen on the display screen of the user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD. The screen can display a user directory storing the body characteristic association information. When the first user uses the massage device 100, the first user can use the user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD to select themselves from the user directory. The control unit 1200 can raise the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upward side based on the body characteristic association information of the selected user. The control unit 1200 can lower the second leg massage unit 2000B to the downward side based on the body characteristic association information of the selected user.

[0518] As another example, the storage unit 1300 may pre-store body characteristic association information of the first to third users. This body characteristic association information may be stored in a manner corresponding to keywords set by each user. When the first user sets the keyword "dad," the first user can input the set keyword using the user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD. The control unit 1200 may use the body characteristic association information corresponding to the input keyword to raise the first leg massage unit 2000A upwards. The control unit 1200 may use the body characteristic association information corresponding to the input keyword to lower the second leg massage unit 2000B downwards.

[0519] According to another embodiment of this specification, the sensor unit 1800 can acquire information related to the user's body characteristics. The control unit 1200 can use the information acquired by the sensor unit 1800 to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upward. The control unit 1200 can use the information acquired by the sensor unit 1800 to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends downward.

[0520] For example, the sensor unit 1800 can acquire the shoulder position information of the seated user. The control unit 1200 can calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upward based on the shoulder position information. The control unit 1200 can calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends downward based on the shoulder position information.

[0521] Compared to users with lower shoulder positions, users with higher shoulder positions tend to be taller and have longer legs. In the case of users with higher shoulder positions compared to users with lower shoulder positions, the control unit 1200 can raise the first leg massage unit 2000A to a relatively higher position. In the case of users with higher shoulder positions compared to users with lower shoulder positions, the control unit 1200 can lower the second leg massage unit 2000B to a relatively lower position. This is merely an example and is not limited to the shoulder position information.

[0522] As another example, the sensor unit 1800 can acquire shoulder position information of the seated user. The control unit 1200 can use the acquired shoulder position information to calculate the user's height and / or leg length. The control unit 1200 can use the calculated user's height and / or leg length to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upwards. The control unit 1200 can use the calculated user's height and / or leg length to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends downwards.

[0523] Additionally, the storage unit 1300 can pre-store body characteristic association information of the first to third users. The body characteristic association information of each user can be stored in a manner corresponding to user identification information that can identify the user. The user identification information can be fingerprint information, facial information, voice information, iris information, etc. The sensor unit 1800 can acquire the user identification information from the user. The control unit 1200 can use the body characteristic association information corresponding to the user identification information to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upwards. The control unit 1200 can use the body characteristic association information corresponding to the user identification information to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends downwards.

[0524] The method by which the control unit 1200 calculates the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises to the upper side and the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends to the lower side is merely an example and is not limited thereto; various embodiments may be generated.

The control unit 1200 can calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B tilts backward based on body characteristic association information corresponding to the input signal.

[0581] For example, the storage unit 1300 can pre-store the body characteristic association information of the first to third users. The control unit 1200 can display a user selection screen on the display screen of the user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD. The screen can display a user directory storing the body characteristic association information. When the first user uses the massage device 100, the first user can use the user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD to select themselves from the user directory.

[0582] The control unit 1200 can raise the first leg massage unit 2000A upward based on the selected user's body characteristic association information. The control unit 1200 can also lower the second leg massage unit 2000B downward based on the selected user's body characteristic association information.

[0583] The control unit 1200 can raise the rear side of the first foot massage unit 2200A upward based on the selected user's body characteristic association information. The control unit 1200 can also lower the rear side of the second foot massage unit 2200B downward based on the selected user's body characteristic association information.

[0584] The control unit 1200 can tilt the first leg massage unit 2000A forward based on the body characteristic association information of the selected user. The control unit 1200 can also tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward based on the body characteristic association information of the selected user.

[0585] As another example, the storage unit 1300 may pre-store body characteristic association information of the first to third users. This body characteristic association information may be stored in a manner corresponding to keywords set by each user. When the first user sets the keyword "dad," the first user can input the set keyword using the user input unit 1400 or the massage device control device CD.

[0586] The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the input keywords to raise the first leg massage unit 2000A upward. The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the input keywords to lower the second leg massage unit 2000B downward.

[0587] The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the input keywords to raise the rear side of the first foot massage unit 2200A upward. The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the input keywords to lower the rear side of the second foot massage unit 2200B downward.

[0588] The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the input keywords to tilt the first leg massage unit 2000A forward. The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the input keywords to tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward.

[0589] According to yet another embodiment of this specification, the sensor unit 1800 can acquire information related to the user's physical characteristics.

[0590] The control unit 1200 can use the information acquired by the sensor unit 1800 to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upward. The control unit 1200 can use the information acquired by the sensor unit 1800 to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends downward.

[0591] The control unit 1200 can use the information acquired by the sensor unit 1800 to calculate the degree to which the rear side of the first foot massage unit 2200A rises upward. The control unit 1200 can use the information acquired by the sensor unit 1800 to calculate the degree to which the rear side of the second foot massage unit 2200B falls downward.

[0592] The control unit 1200 can use the information acquired by the sensor unit 1800 to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A tilts forward. The control unit 1200 can use the information acquired by the sensor unit 1800 to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B tilts backward.

[0593] For example, the sensor unit 1800 can acquire the shoulder position information of the seated user. The control unit 1200 can calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upward based on the shoulder position information. The control unit 1200 can calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends downward based on the shoulder position information.

[0594] The control unit 1200 can calculate the degree to which the rear side of the first foot massage unit 2200A rises upward based on the shoulder position information. The control unit 1200 can also calculate the degree to which the rear side of the second foot massage unit 2200B falls downward based on the shoulder position information.

[0595] The control unit 1200 can calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A tilts forward based on the shoulder position information. The control unit 1200 can calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B tilts backward based on the shoulder position information.

[0596] Compared to users with low shoulder positions, users with high shoulder positions tend to be taller and have longer legs.

[0597] Compared to a user with a low shoulder position, in the case of a user with a high shoulder position, the control unit 1200 can cause the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise relatively higher. Compared to a user with a low shoulder position, in the case of a user with a high shoulder position, the control unit 1200 can cause the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend relatively lower.

[0598] Compared to a user with a low shoulder position, in the case of a user with a high shoulder position, the control unit 1200 can cause the rear side of the first foot massage unit 2200A to rise relatively higher. Compared to a user with a low shoulder position, in the case of a user with a high shoulder position, the control unit 1200 can cause the second foot massage unit 2200B to descend relatively lower.

[0599] Compared to a user with a low shoulder position, in the case of a user with a high shoulder position, the control unit 1200 can tilt the first leg massage unit 2000A more forward. Compared to a user with a low shoulder position, in the case of a user with a high shoulder position, the control unit 1200 can tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B more backward.

[0600] This is just an example and is not limited to the shoulder position information stated.

[0601] As another example, the sensor unit 1800 can acquire shoulder position information of a seated user. The control unit 1200 can use the acquired shoulder position information to calculate the user's height and / or leg length.

[0602] The control unit 1200 can use the calculated user's height and / or leg length to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upward. The control unit 1200 can use the calculated user's height and / or leg length to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends downward.

[0603] The control unit 1200 can use the calculated height and / or leg length of the user to calculate the degree to which the rear side of the first foot massage unit 2200A rises upward. The control unit 1200 can use the calculated height and / or leg length of the user to calculate the degree to which the rear side of the second foot massage unit 2200B descends downward.

[0604] The control unit 1200 can use the calculated height and / or leg length of the user to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A tilts forward. The control unit 1200 can use the calculated height and / or leg length of the user to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B tilts backward.

[0605] Furthermore, the storage unit 1300 can pre-store the physical characteristic association information of the first to third users. The physical characteristic association information of each user can be stored in a manner corresponding to user identification information that can identify the user. The user identification information may be fingerprint information, facial information, voice information, iris information, etc. The sensor unit 1800 can obtain the user identification information from the user.

[0606] The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the user identification information to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upward. The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the user identification information to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B descends downward.

[0607] The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the user identification information to calculate the degree to which the rear side of the first foot massage unit 2200A rises upward. The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the user identification information to calculate the degree to which the rear side of the second foot massage unit 2200B descends downward.

[0608] The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the user identification information to calculate the degree to which the first leg massage unit 2000A tilts forward. The control unit 1200 can use body characteristic association information corresponding to the user identification information to calculate the degree to which the second leg massage unit 2000B tilts backward.

[0609] The control method of the first and second leg massage units based on the user's physical characteristics described above is only one example and is not limited to the described method.

[0610] Figure 18 This is a flowchart of a hip joint relaxation pattern according to an embodiment of this specification. Figure 19This is a reference diagram showing the posture of the massage device according to each step of the hip joint relaxation mode according to an embodiment of this specification.

[0611] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 In step S10, the control unit 1200 can control the massage device 100 to assume a ready position for performing the hip joint relaxation mode. The ready position may refer to the posture of the zero-gravity mode. Figure 19 (The top left side view), this is just one example and is not limited to the posture described.

[0612] In step S11, the control unit 1200 can control the massage device 100 to perform a first hip joint relaxation action.

[0613] Step S11 may include the following steps: the control unit 1200 adjusts the length of the first leg massage unit 2000A by raising the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side of the connection between the first leg massage unit 2000A and the body massage unit 1000, so as to stimulate the user's hip joint.

[0614] Additionally, step S11 may include the following steps: the control unit 1200 performs at least one of a first action to adjust the length of the first leg massage unit 2000A and a second action to raise one side of the first leg massage unit to stimulate the user's hip joint.

[0615] More specifically, the control unit 1200 can tilt the first leg massage unit 2000A forward. The control unit 1200 can tilt the first leg massage unit 2000A further forward when it is in the ready position. The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first leg angle actuator to lift the first leg massage unit 2000A further forward when it is in the ready position. Preferably, the control unit 1200 can control the first leg massage unit 2000A to tilt forward to its maximum extent within its movable range. Figure 19 (See the middle left image). At this time, the lower end of the first foot massage unit 2200A can be in the state furthest from the ground.

[0616] The control unit 1200 can tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward. The control unit 1200 can tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B further backward than it is in the ready position. The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the second leg angle actuator to cause the second leg massage unit 2000B to fall closer to the ground than it is in the ready position. Preferably, the control unit 1200 can control the second leg massage unit 2000B to be in a non-forward tilting state. The non-forward tilting state of the second leg massage unit 2000B can refer to the state where the lower end of the second foot massage unit 2200B is closest to the ground.

[0617] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 1200 can control the inflation of at least one airbag included in the body massage unit 1000 before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to tilt the first leg massage unit 2000A forward.

[0618] The control unit 1200 can control the inflation of at least one airbag included in the body massage unit 1000 before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward.

[0619] As described above, the body massage unit 1000 may have a shoulder airbag (not shown) at a position corresponding to the shoulder of the user sitting on the massage device 100, a hip airbag (not shown) at a position corresponding to the pelvis, a back airbag (not shown) at a position corresponding to the back, and an arm airbag (not shown) at a position corresponding to the arm.

[0620] The control unit 1200 can control the inflation of at least one airbag by outputting an electrical signal to the air supply unit before, after, or during the process of outputting an electrical signal to tilt the first leg massage unit 2000A forward.

[0621] The control unit 1200 can control the inflation of at least one airbag by outputting an electrical signal to the air supply unit before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward.

[0622] Preferably, the control unit 1200 can control the inflation of the shoulder airbag, arm airbag, hip airbag and back airbag before outputting an electrical signal to tilt the first leg massage unit 2000A forward.

[0623] The control unit 1200 can control the inflation of the shoulder airbag, arm airbag, hip airbag, and back airbag before outputting an electrical signal to tilt the second leg massage unit 2000B backward.

[0624] The control unit 1200 can control at least one of the airbags to remain inflated for a preset time. Thus, a user seated in the massage device 100 can fix their body onto the massage device 100 during hip relaxation mode movements. When receiving hip relaxation mode movements from the massage device 100, the user's body is fixed, allowing them to maintain a correct posture.

[0625] Subsequently, the control unit 1200 can adjust the length of the first leg massage unit 2000A so that the first leg massage unit 2000A rises upward. Figure 19 (The image is shown in the lower left corner).

[0626] The control unit 1200 can adjust the length of the first leg massage unit 2000A so that the upper end of the first leg massage unit 2000A rises towards the upper side of the hinge shaft 2110.

[0627] The control unit 1200 can output electrical signals to the first foot drive unit and the first calf drive unit to cause the first foot massage unit 2200A and the first calf massage unit 2300A to move upward.

[0628] The control unit 1200 can output electrical signals to the first foot drive unit and the first calf drive unit to bring the first foot massage unit 2200A and the first calf massage unit 2300A closer to each other.

[0629] At this time, the first hip joint airbag included in the first calf massage unit 2300A inflates, allowing the upper end of the first calf massage unit 2300A to rise towards the upper side of the hinge shaft 2110. The first hip joint airbag may refer to the deformable body 2510 included in the first leg massage unit 2000A.

[0630] In addition, the control unit 1200 can adjust the length of the first leg massage unit 2000A so that the first leg massage unit 2000A rises to the upper side, and can control one side of the lower end of the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise.

[0631] The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first foot drive unit to raise the first foot massage unit 2200A. Additionally, the control unit 1200 can raise the rear side of the first foot massage unit 2200A. The control unit 1200 can also raise one side of the first foot bottom lifting unit 2213A. The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first foot bottom lifting unit 2213A to raise one side of the first foot bottom lifting unit 2213A. At this time, because the first hip joint airbag does not inflate, the upper end of the first calf massage unit 2300A will not rise towards the hinge axis 2110.

[0632] The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first calf drive unit before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to raise the first foot massage unit 2200A, thereby raising the first calf massage unit 2300A. Additionally, the control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to the first foot bottom lifting part 2213A before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to raise the first foot massage unit 2200A, thereby raising one side of the first foot bottom lifting part 2213A. Therefore, by raising the upper end of the first calf massage unit 2300A towards the hinge shaft 2110 and the rear of the first foot massage unit 2200A, the massage device 100 can provide more effective hip joint stimulation and relaxation of the muscles surrounding the hip joint to the seated user. By raising the upper end of the first calf massage unit 2300A towards the upper side of the hinge shaft 2110 and the rear side of the first foot massage unit 2200A, the massage device 100 can lengthen the muscles around the hip joint of the seated user.

[0633] Preferably, the control unit 1200 can output electrical signals to the first foot drive unit, the first calf drive unit, and the first foot bottom lifting unit 2213A to cause the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise upwards. The control unit 1200 can control the first leg massage unit 2000A to be in a position such as... Figure 7B The "minimum elongation state" shown is just one example; various embodiments can be generated based on the user's body characteristics.

[0634] Additionally, the control unit 1200 can control the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend to the lower side. Figure 19(See the lower left side view). The control unit 1200 can output an electrical signal to cause the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend to the lower side before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to cause the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise to the upper side.

[0635] The control unit 1200 may output an electrical signal to the second foot drive unit before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to raise the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side, so as to lower the second foot massage unit 2200B.

[0636] The control unit 1200 may output an electrical signal to the second foot drive unit before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to raise the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side, so that the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B move away from each other.

[0637] In addition, the control unit 1200 may output an electrical signal to the second foot bottom lifting unit 2213B before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to raise the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side, so as to raise the rear side of the second foot massage unit 2200B.

[0638] Preferably, during the process of outputting an electrical signal to raise the first leg massage unit 2000A, the control unit 1200 can control the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend downwards, and can control one side of the lower end of the second leg massage unit 2000B to rise. During the process of outputting an electrical signal to raise the first leg massage unit 2000A, the control unit 1200 can also output an electrical signal to the second foot drive unit to lower the second foot massage unit 2200B downwards, and can output an electrical signal to the second foot bottom lifting unit 2213B to raise the rear side of the second foot massage unit 2200B. The control unit 1200 can control the second leg massage unit 2000B to be in the following position: Figure 7C The image shows the "maximum elongation state". This is just one example; various embodiments can be generated based on the user's body characteristics.

[0639] The control unit 1200 can use the user's body characteristic association information to adjust the length of the second leg massage unit 2000B so that the second leg massage unit 2000B lowers to the lower side.

[0640] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 1200 can control the extension of a preset length based on the user's body characteristic association information. The control unit 1200 can compare the user's body characteristic association information with multiple preset levels. The control unit 1200 can control the second leg massage unit 2000B to descend downwards based on the level to which the user's body characteristic association information belongs. The control unit 1200 can also cause the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B to move further apart from each other based on the level to which the user's body characteristic association information belongs.

[0641] For example, the level can be set to levels one through three based on a preset benchmark. The level can be set using the user's height. The second level can be for users whose height falls within the range of "175cm ± a (positive number)". The first level can be for users whose height is less than "175cm - a". The third level can be for users whose height is greater than "175cm + a".

[0642] As another example, the levels can be set based on the user's leg length. The second level can be for users whose leg length falls within the range of "90cm ± a". The first level can be for users whose leg length is less than "90cm - a". The third level can be for users whose leg length is greater than "90cm + a".

[0643] When the user's body characteristic association information meets the first level, the control unit 1200 can control the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B to be further apart by a minimum distance. Compared to meeting the first level, when the user's body characteristic association information meets the second level, the control unit 1200 can control the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B to be further apart by a greater distance. When the user's body characteristic association information meets the third level, the control unit 1200 can control the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B to be further apart by the greatest distance.

[0644] When the user's body characteristic association information meets the first level, the control unit 1200 can control the second leg massage unit 2000B to be positioned at the uppermost position. Compared to meeting the first level, when the user's body characteristic association information meets the second level, the control unit 1200 can control the second leg massage unit 2000B to be positioned at the lowermost position. When the user's body characteristic association information meets the third level, the control unit 1200 can control the second leg massage unit 2000B to be positioned at the lowermost position.

[0645] The reference for setting the multiple levels is just one example, and is not limited to these references. Levels can be set not only based on the user's height and / or leg length, but also on various body characteristic-related information such as the user's shoulder position. Furthermore, it is natural that there is no limitation on the number of levels and various implementation examples can be generated.

[0646] According to other embodiments of this specification, the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B in the hip joint relaxation mode can be preset according to each of the stated levels. The control unit 1200 can control the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B to become the overall length preset according to each of the stated levels in the hip joint relaxation mode. The overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B in the hip joint relaxation mode can refer to the overall length when the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B are further away from each other from the overall length of the ready position.

[0647] For example, in the first level scenario, the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B in the hip joint relaxation mode can be set to 90cm. When the user's body characteristic association information matches the first level, the control unit 1200 can control the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B to become 90cm. The control unit 1200 can also move the second foot massage unit 2200B and / or the second calf massage unit 2300B in a direction away from each other, so that the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B becomes 90cm.

[0648] In the second level scenario, the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B in the hip joint relaxation mode can be set to 100cm. When the user's body characteristic association information matches the second level, the control unit 1200 can control the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B to become 100cm. The control unit 1200 can also move the second foot massage unit 2200B and / or the second calf massage unit 2300B in a direction away from each other, so that the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B becomes 100cm.

[0649] In the third level scenario, the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B in the hip joint relaxation mode can be set to 115cm. When the user's body characteristic association information matches the third level, the control unit 1200 can control the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B to become 115cm. The control unit 1200 can also move the second foot massage unit 2200B and / or the second calf massage unit 2300B in a direction away from each other, so that the overall length of the second leg massage unit 2000B becomes 115cm.

[0650] This is just one example and is not limited to the overall length of the hip relaxation pattern according to each of the described levels.

[0651] According to another embodiment of this specification, the reference lengths of the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B can be predetermined according to each of the aforementioned levels. The reference length can refer to the lengths of the first leg massage unit 2000A and the second leg massage unit 2000B in the ready position. The control unit 1200 can control the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B to move away from each other by a preset interval distance from the reference length according to each of the aforementioned levels.

[0652] For example, when at the first level, the reference length can be set to 85cm. At this time, the interval distance can be set to 5cm. When the user's body characteristic association information matches the first level, the control unit 1200 can control the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B to move further away from the reference length by 5cm.

[0653] When at the second level, the reference length can be set to 90cm. At this time, the interval distance can be set to 10cm. When the user's body characteristic association information matches the second level, the control unit 1200 can control the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B to move further away from the reference length by 10cm.

[0654] When at the third level, the reference length can be set to 100cm. At this time, the interval distance can be set to 15cm. When the user's body characteristic association information matches the third level, the control unit 1200 can control the second foot massage unit 2200B and the second calf massage unit 2300B to move further away from the reference length by 15cm.

[0655] According to one embodiment of this specification, at least one instep airbag may be included on the inner surface of the first foot massage unit 2200A and the second foot massage unit 2200B.

[0656] The inner surfaces of the first calf massage unit 2300A and the second calf massage unit 2300B may include at least one calf airbag.

[0657] The control unit 1200 can control the inflation of the instep airbag included in the first foot massage unit 2200A before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to cause the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise upwards. The control unit 1200 can also output an electrical signal to the air supply unit before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to cause the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise upwards, thereby inflating the instep airbag included in the first foot massage unit 2200A.

[0658] Furthermore, the control unit 1200 can control the inflation of the calf airbag included in the first calf massage unit 2300A before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to cause the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise upwards. The control unit 1200 can also output an electrical signal to the air supply unit before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to cause the first leg massage unit 2000A to rise upwards, thereby inflating the calf airbag included in the first calf massage unit 2300A.

[0659] Preferably, the control unit 1200 can control the inflation of the instep airbag included in the first foot massage unit 2200A and the calf airbag included in the first calf massage unit 2300A before outputting an electrical signal to raise the first leg massage unit 2000A to the upper side.

[0660] Furthermore, the control unit 1200 can control the inflation of the instep airbag included in the second foot massage unit 2200B before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to lower the second leg massage unit 2000B to the lower side. The control unit 1200 can also output an electrical signal to the air supply unit before, after, or during the output of an electrical signal to lower the second leg massage unit 2000B to the lower side, thereby inflating the instep airbag included in the second foot massage unit 2200B.
