[0134] Figure 3 This is an exploded view illustrating a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating the main frame of one embodiment of the present invention.

[0135] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the main frame 1100 can form the skeleton of the body massage part 1000. The main frame 1100 includes a body frame 1200 and a base frame 1300 that supports the body frame 1200.

[0136] The body frame 1200 includes: a back frame 1210 for forming the skeleton of the back 1000a that accommodates the user's upper body; and a seat frame 1250 for forming the skeleton of the seat portion 1000b.

[0137] The base frame 1300 is positioned on the ground and supports the body frame 1200. The base frame 1300 is positioned under the seat frame 1250.

[0138] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the main frame 1100 may further include a bottom base frame 1380 that slidably supports the base frame 1300. Thus, the base frame 1300 can be configured to support the body frame 1200 and be able to move forward or backward relative to the ground.

[0139] The bottom base frame 1380 is configured to contact the ground and support the base frame 1300. A sliding unit 1330 may be provided at the lower end of the base frame 1300, which allows the base frame 1300 to slide relative to the bottom base frame 1380.

[0140] For example, the sliding unit may include a slide rod, a slide rail, and a pulley. The slide rod may be attached to the lower surface of the base frame 1300. The slide rail may be attached to the upper surface of the bottom base frame 1380. The pulley may be disposed inside the slide rail. When the base frame 1300 moves, the slide rod moves forward or backward under the guidance of the slide rail, and the pulley assists the slide rod in moving linearly along the slide rail.

[0141] In this disclosure, the base frame 1300 may include the bottom base frame 1380. Therefore, when it is not necessary to distinguish between the base frame 1300 and the bottom base frame 1380, the base frame 1300 may be referred to as the entirety including the bottom frame 1300.

[0142] The base frame 1300 may have a support shaft frame 1320 extending along its upper end. The support shaft frame 1320 is connected to the seat frame 1250 by means of pins or the like, thereby serving as a support shaft for the seat frame 1250 to rotate forward or backward relative to the base frame 1300.

[0143] Additionally, the support shaft frame 1320 can be used as a joint where the arm massage part 3000 is attached to the base frame 1300.

[0144] The leg massage unit 2000 is rotatably connected to the front of the base frame 1300 in the up-down direction.

[0145] The body frame 1200 is supported by the base frame 1300.

[0146] At least a portion of the body frame 1200 may be provided with a rack 1211. The rack 1211 is a component for guiding the up-and-down movement of the massage module and may include multiple valleys and multiple spines.

[0147] The rack 1211 can be arranged in an opposing manner on the body frame 1200. The massage module can move along the rack 1211. For example, the massage module may include a gear meshing with the rack 1211, the gear being rotated by an actuator disposed on the massage module, thereby enabling the massage module to move upward or downward.

[0148] The rack 1211 may be made of metal or plastic. For example, the rack 1211 may be made of iron, steel, alloy, reinforced plastic, melamine resin, phenolic resin, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0149] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the seat frame 1250 and the backrest frame 1210 are formed by separate frames and can be configured such that one end of each is adjacent to the other. The seat frame 1250 and the backrest frame 1210 are formed by separate frames and are movably coupled to each other, thereby facilitating adjustment of the angle between the seat frame 1250 and the backrest frame 1210. Movement of the backrest frame 1210 corresponds to movement of the backrest 1000a, and movement of the seat frame 1250 corresponds to movement of the seat portion 1000b.

[0150] The back frame 1210 may include a skeleton forming the back 1000a and a rack support frame 1220 supporting the rack 1211 and extending along the length direction.

[0151] The seat frame 1250 supports the backrest frame 1210 and is disposed on the upper part of the base frame 1300. The seat frame 1250 forms the skeleton of the seat portion 1000b, which is the part where the user sits. The seat frame 1250 is connected to and disposed on the backrest frame 1210.

[0152] The back frame 1210 can be rotatably connected relative to the base frame 1300 and / or the seat frame 1250. The back frame 1210 can be switched so that the massage device 100 can be in a sitting or reclining position.

[0153] Additionally, the seat frame 1250 can be rotatably connected relative to the base frame 1300 and / or the back frame 1210. Therefore, when the massage device 100 switches positions between a sitting mode and a reclining mode, the angle between the back frame 1210 and the seat frame 1250 can be adjusted.

[0154] An arm massage unit 3000 is disposed on the side of a body massage unit 1000. The arm massage unit 3000 includes a first arm massage unit 3000a disposed on one side of the body massage unit 1000, such as the right side, and a second arm massage unit 3000b disposed on the other side, such as the left side.

Additionally, support unit 3200 may refer to each or all of the first support unit 3200a and the second support unit 3200b, and arm massage providing unit 3100 may refer to each or all of the first arm massage providing unit 3100a and the second arm massage providing unit 3100b.

[0157] Hereinafter, unless it is necessary to distinguish between the first arm massage unit 3000a and the second arm massage unit 3000b, the structure will be described using terms such as arm massage unit 3000, support unit 3200 and arm massage providing unit 3100.

[0158] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the connection relationship of the actuators for adjusting the seat angle, back angle, and leg angle in a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0159] The seat angle can be defined as the angle formed by the seat frame relative to the ground, the back angle can be defined as the angle formed by the back frame relative to the ground, and the leg angle can be defined as the angle formed by the leg massage area relative to the ground.

[0160] Figure 5 Parts (a), (b), and (c) show the seat angle actuator, back angle actuator, and leg angle actuator, respectively.

[0161] A massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a plurality of actuators to provide a variety of massage modes and / or stretching modes.

[0162] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a massage device 100 may include a sliding actuator 1610 for adjusting the sliding of the massage device 100 (see reference 1610). Figure 4 ).

[0163] A sliding actuator 1610 is disposed between the base frame 1300 and the bottom base frame 1380 to adjust the forward and backward movement of the body massage unit. One end of the sliding actuator 1610 is connected to the base frame 1300, and the other end is connected to the bottom base frame 1380.

[0164] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a massage device 100 may include a seat angle actuator 1620 to adjust the angle of the seat portion 1000b.

[0165] Reference Figure 5In part (a), the seat angle actuator 1620 can be connected between the base frame 1300 and the seat frame 1250. One end of the seat angle actuator 1620 is connected through the base frame 1300, and the other end is connected to the seat frame 1250. The seat angle actuator 1620 causes the seat frame 1250 to move relative to the base frame 1300 in the fore-and-aft direction, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the seat frame 1250 and the seat portion 1000b supported on the seat frame 1250.

[0166] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a massage device 100 may include a back angle actuator 1630 to adjust the angle of the back 1000a.

[0167] Reference Figure 5 In part (b), the backrest angle actuator 1630 can be connected between the seat frame 1250 and the backrest frame 1210. One end of the backrest angle actuator 1630 is connected through the seat frame 1250, and the other end is connected to the backrest frame 1210. The backrest angle actuator 1630 causes the backrest frame 1210 to move relative to the seat frame 1250 in the fore-and-aft direction, thereby adjusting the angle between the backrest frame 1210 and the backrest 1000a supported on the backrest frame 1210.

[0168] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a massage device 100 may include a leg angle actuator 1640 to adjust the angle of a leg massage unit 2000.

[0169] Reference Figure 5 In part (c), the leg angle actuator 1640 can be disposed between the seat frame 1250 and the leg massage part 2000.

[0170] One end of the leg angle actuator 1640 is connected via the seat frame 1250, and the other end is connected to the leg angle adjustment unit 2110. The leg angle adjustment unit 2110 may be provided with a wheel, the upper end of which is hinged to the base frame 1300 and the other end of which contacts the rear surface of the leg massage unit 2000.

[0171] When the leg angle actuator 1640 extends, the leg angle adjustment part 2110 rotates upward around the hinge connection part, and the wheel at the other end pushes the leg massage part 2000 upward. When the leg angle actuator 1640 retracts, the leg angle adjustment part 2110 rotates downward, and the leg massage part 2000 descends while in contact with the leg angle adjustment part 2110. As described above, the leg angle actuator 1640 adjusts the angle of the leg massage part 2000 by moving the leg angle adjustment part 2110 to rotate the leg massage part 2000 in the vertical direction.

[0172] According to the massage device of this utility model, it is not excluded that one end of the leg angle actuator 1640 is connected to the base frame 1300. However, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, when the leg angle actuator 1640 is disposed between the seat frame 1250 and the leg angle adjustment part 2110, since the adjustment angle of the seat frame 1250 and the angle adjusted by driving the leg angle adjustment part 2110 are added together, thereby adjusting the angle of the leg massage part 2000, it is easy to increase the angle of raising the leg massage part 2000 when the posture is switched to the tilt mode.

[0173] In an embodiment where the leg massage unit 2000 includes a first leg massage unit 2000a and a second leg massage unit 2000b that are physically separate and operate independently, the leg angle actuator 1640 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b, and is controlled individually.

[0174] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, each actuator, including a sliding actuator 1610, a seat angle actuator 1620, a back angle actuator 1630, and a leg angle actuator 1640, is controlled by a control unit 300. For example, the control unit 300 can control the sliding, seat angle, back angle, and leg angle of the massage device by controlling the actuators.

[0175] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, each actuator is equipped with an encoder capable of detecting the rotational speed and rotational speed of the motor. The extension / contraction length, speed, etc. of the actuator can be controlled by the control unit 300 to suit various modes of the massage device 100 and the user's body.

[0176] Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a change in posture of the massage device of this utility model.

[0177] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 can change its posture to achieve a sitting mode (left side) and a tilting mode (right side).

[0178] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the massage device 100 can individually adjust the seat angle, back angle, and leg angle to set angles in order to perform a specific massage mode and a specific stretching mode.

[0179] For example, the massage device 100 can slide forward. Before the massage device 100 changes its posture to a tilted mode, it can slide forward to prevent it from colliding with structures behind it.

[0180] In addition, in order to perform a specific stretching mode, the massage device 100 can simultaneously, sequentially, or with a delay in adjusting the seat angle, back angle, and leg angle.

[0181] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, when the massage device 100 changes from a seated posture to a tilted posture, the back frame 1210 supports the back 1000a and lays flat towards the ground, the seat frame 1250 supports the seat part 1000b and is raised relative to the ground, and the leg massage part 2000 is raised relative to the ground.

[0182] In addition, in the arm massage unit 3000, the arm massage providing unit 3100 is tilted backward relative to the support unit 3200.

[0183] In this disclosure, the forward or backward direction is... Figure 6 The direction shown is the reference.

[0184] Figure 7 This diagram illustrates the structure and operation of the independent movement of the arm massage section of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 This is a diagram showing the inner surface of the arm massager. Figure 9 yes Figure 7 The image shown is a partial exploded 3D view of the arm massage area. Figure 10 This is a component diagram of the arm massage unit drive module.

[0185] An arm massage unit 3000 is provided on the side of the body massage unit 1000. The arm massage unit 3000 is provided for fixing the user's arm and / or providing massage to the user's arm.

[0186] The arm massage unit 3000 includes a support unit 3200, an arm massage providing unit 3100, and an arm massage unit drive module 3300.

[0187] The arm massage providing part 3100 is disposed on the upper side of the support part 3200 and is movably supported.

[0188] The arm massage unit drive module 3300 provides a moving force that allows the arm massage unit 3100 to move independently relative to the support unit 3200.

[0189] Reference Figure 6 In the seated mode (left side) of the massage device 100, the position of the arm massage provider 3100 is referred to as the first position, and in the tilted mode (right side) of the massage device 100, the position of the arm massage provider 3100 is referred to as the second position. The second position is a position where the arm massage provider 3100 is moved backward and tilted relative to the first position, causing the position of the arm massage provider 3100 to decrease. As described above, the arm massage provider 3100 can be tilted downward relative to the support 3200 from the first position to the second position.

[0190] An arm massage providing unit 3100 forms an arm receiving groove 3110 for inserting a user's arm (refer to Figure 8 ). An airbag 3112 for fixing the user's arm is provided in the arm receiving groove 3110. The arm receiving groove 3110 is formed as a "匚"-shaped groove that opens toward the inner surface 3103 of the arm massage providing unit 3100. The airbag 3112 can be inflated by an airbag supply unit to fix the user's arm or repeatedly inflated or deflated to provide massage.

[0191] A interference prevention groove 3101 can be formed on the rear side of the inner surface 3103 of the arm massage providing unit 3100. The interference prevention groove 3101 is formed to prevent interference between the arm massage providing unit 3100 and the back 1000a when the massage device 100 switches to the inclined mode and the back 1000a is laid flat, and / or when the arm massage providing unit 3100 moves relative to the support unit 3200.

[0192] The support unit 3200 can be fixed to the side surface of the base frame 1300.

[0193] The upper surface 3210 of the support unit 3200 is formed as a downward inclined surface that slopes downward and backward, and the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage providing unit 3100 is formed to be inclined corresponding to the downward inclined upper surface 3210. The arm massage providing unit 3100 moves obliquely along the downward inclined upper surface of the support unit.

[0194] An arm massage unit driving module 3300 is configured to support the arm massage providing unit 3100 movably relative to the support unit 3200 and provide a moving force.

[0195] The arm massage unit driving module 3300 may include at least a part or all of an arm massage unit actuator 3320, a support plate 3310, a guide rail 3330, and a guide block 3340 (refer to Figure 10 ).

[0196] According to the present disclosure, one side of the arm massage unit actuator 3320 is connected to the support unit 3200, and the other side is connected to the arm massage providing unit 3100. When the arm massage unit actuator 3320 expands and contracts, the arm massage providing unit 3100 can move relative to the support unit 3200. The arm massage unit actuator 3320 provides a moving force that directly moves the arm massage providing unit 3100 relative to the support unit 3200.

[0197] The arm massage unit actuator 3320 can be connected parallel to the moving direction of the arm massage providing unit 3100, such as the inclined moving direction, so that the movement of the arm massage providing unit 3100 is performed along a movement path parallel to the expansion and contraction direction of the arm massage unit actuator 3320.

[0198] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an arm massage actuator 3320 is disposed inside an arm massage providing part 3100.

[0199] An arm massage actuator 3320 is disposed inside one of the arm massage providing part 3100 and the support part 3200, and the arm massage actuator 3320 is connected to the other of the arm massage providing part 3100 and the support part 3200 via a support plate 3310. Thus, the arm massage actuator 3320 can be connected to both the arm massage providing part 3100 and the support part 3200.

[0200] The support plate 3310 physically connects the arm massage actuator 3320, which is disposed inside one of the arm massage providing part 3100 and the support part 3200, to the other of the arm massage providing part 3100 and the support part 3200, which are separated from each other, thereby supporting the movement of the arm massage providing part 3100 relative to the support part 3200.

[0201] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the support plate 3310 may include a lower portion 3311 fixed to the support portion 3200 and an upper portion 3312 extending upward from the lower portion 3311 and disposed inside the arm massage providing portion 3100.

[0202] An arm massage actuator 3320 is disposed adjacent to the lower surface 3107 inside the arm massage providing part 3100, and is connected to the support plate 3310 on one side. The other side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is connected to the arm massage providing part 3100.

[0203] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the lower portion 3311 of the support plate 3310 is exemplified as being fixed inside the support portion 3200, but is not limited thereto. For example, it may be a portion fixed to the upper surface 3210 of the support portion 3200.

[0204] The support plate 3310 extends through the second through hole 3212 formed on the upper surface 3210 of the support portion 3200 and the first through hole 3107a formed on the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage providing portion 3100. Since the first through hole 3107a formed on the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage providing portion 3100 forms a path for relative movement of the arm massage providing portion 3100 relative to the support plate 3310, the support plate 3310 has sufficient length and extends along the length direction so as not to interfere with the arm massage providing portion 3100.

[0205] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the lower portion 3311 of the support plate 3310 can extend into and be fixed within the support portion 3200. A lower frame 3204 is fixed to the main body 3202 of the support portion 3200, which is formed from injection molding material, and the lower portion 3311 of the support plate 3310 is fixed to the lower frame 3204. This structure facilitates the assembly of the arm massage portion 3000, including the assembly of the support plate 3310, and the support plate 3310 supports the load of the arm massage providing portion 3100.

[0206] The upper portion 3312 of the support plate 3310 can be supported so that it can move relative to the arm massage providing portion 3100. According to one embodiment of this specification, the support plate 3310 can support the arm massage providing portion 3100 relatively movably, specifically, the guide rail 3330.

[0207] One end of the arm massage actuator 3320 can be fixed to the support plate 3310. A first bracket 3315 is provided on one side of the upper portion 3312 of the support plate 3310, which is connected to one side of the arm massage actuator 3320.

[0208] The arm massage actuator 3320 is obliquely configured and extends parallel to the movement path of the arm massage providing part 3100, and the other side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is fixed to the arm massage providing part 3100. The arm massage providing part 3100 has a main body formed by injection molding, namely an upper frame 3104 fixed to the upper main body 3102, and the other side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is fixed to the upper frame 3104. A second bracket 3105 is provided on the upper frame 3104 to connect to the other end of the arm massage actuator 3320.

[0209] When the arm massage actuator 3320 is activated, the lever 3323 is pulled out, and the arm massage actuator 3320 extends with reference to the support plate 3310 fixed at one end. The other end of the arm massage actuator 3320, which is fixed to the second bracket 3105, pulls the arm massage providing part 3100. Therefore, a tilting force is provided to the arm massage providing part 3000. Thus, the arm massage providing part 3100 can tilt and move along the extension direction of the arm massage actuator 3320. Since the support plate 3310 is fixed to the support part 3200, the arm massage providing part 3100 can move relative to the support part 3200.

[0210] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, a guide rail 3330 is disposed on the arm massage providing part 3100 and is movably connected to one side of the arm massage part actuator 3320. The guide rail 3330 guides the arm massage providing part 3100 to move relative to the support part 3200.

[0211] The guide rail 3330 extends and is fixed inside the arm massage providing part 3100 adjacent to and on the lower surface 3107 through hole 3107a. The guide rail 3330 is configured to be parallel to the extension direction of the arm massage part actuator 3320 and the movement direction of the arm massage providing part 3100.

[0212] The second bracket 3105, which is coupled to the other end of the arm massage actuator 3320, is configured on the rear side of the guide rail 3330, spaced apart from the guide rail 3330.

[0213] One side of the arm massage actuator is movably connected to the guide rail 3330. For example, when the arm massage actuator 3320 extends, the other side of the arm massage actuator 3320 moves in the direction of increasing length relative to one side, and the arm massage providing part 3100 moves together with the guide rail 3330 relative to one side of the arm massage actuator 3320.

[0214] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, one side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is connected to the guide rail 3330 via a support plate 3310. However, it is not limited to this; for example, the support plate 3310 is fixed to the main body located on one side of the arm massage actuator 3320, and the other end of the arm massage actuator 3320 can be directly connected to the guide rail 3330 in a relatively movable manner.

[0215] Referring to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment in which one side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is connected to the guide rail 3330 via a support plate 3310 will be described.

[0216] One side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is disposed on one surface of the upper portion 3312 of the support plate 3310, and one end of the support plate is connected by a first bracket 3315. The guide rail 3330 is disposed on the other surface of the support plate 3310.

[0217] A guide block 3340 is attached to the other surface of the support plate 3310 opposite to the guide rail 3330.

[0218] The guide block 3340 attached to the support plate 3310 guides the movement of the guide rail 3330. For this purpose, the guide block 3340 is inserted to allow relative movement of the guide rail 3330. Therefore, the guide rail 3330 can move while supported by the guide block 3340.

[0219] The guide block 3340 is formed to fit into the track protrusions 3331 that protrude from the upper and lower parts of the guide rail 3330 toward the support plate 3310. In the guide block 3340, the upper guide block and the lower guide block form a guide block unit.

[0220] The guide block 3340 can be formed in the shape of an upper guide block and a lower guide block connected to the upper and lower parts of the guide rail 3330. In this case, one guide block 3340 forms a guide block unit.

[0221] When the guide block is formed separately to form the upper and lower guide blocks, it is advantageous to configure the guide block 3340 according to the design of the guide rail 3330 and to facilitate assembly. The guide block 3340 can be fixed to the other side surface of the support plate 3310 by fastening members.

[0222] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, one or more guide block units are disposed on a guide rail and spaced apart along the length of the guide rail.

[0223] Reference Figure 10 As can be seen, the four guide blocks 3340 form two guide block units and are spaced apart along the length of the guide rail 3330. When at least two guide block units are provided, even if a lateral load is generated on the arm massage providing part 3100, the support plate 3310 and the guide rail 3330 remain parallel to each other, thereby helping to prevent wobbling.

[0224] In addition, since the guide block 3340 is fitted into the guide rail 3330, the arm massage providing part 3100 that is combined with the guide rail 3330 can be stably supported by the support plate 3310 and the support part 3200 that fixes the support plate 3310.

[0225] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, when the arm massage actuator 3320 is driven by a motor to pull the rod 3323 outward, thereby extending the arm massage actuator 3320, the guide rail 3330 moves while supporting the arm massage providing part 3100. The guide rail 3330 is supported and moves by the guide block 3340 of the support plate 3310. That is, when the arm massage actuator 3320 extends, the guide rail 3330 moves, thereby guiding the movement of the arm massage providing part 3100.

[0226] The arm massage actuator 3320 is controlled by the control unit 300. Furthermore, an encoder for detecting the rotation of the motor can be installed in the arm massage actuator 3320. Therefore, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage actuator 3320 simultaneously by detecting its extension and retraction length, speed, etc.

[0227] The movement of the arm massage provider 3100 is determined by the extension direction of the arm massage actuator 3320 and the extension direction of the guide rail 3330, and the arm massage provider 3100 can be supported by the connection between the guide rail 3330 and the support plate 3310. Since the support plate 3310 supports the load of the arm massage provider 3100, the load can be distributed even if the support portion 3200 is not in direct contact with the arm massage provider 3100 or is in direct contact with it. Therefore, the entire load of the arm massage provider 3100 is applied between the upper surface 3210 of the support portion 3200 and the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage provider 3100, and noise and appearance damage can be minimized compared to the case where movement is guided by direct contact.

[0228] The arm massage unit 3000 according to this utility model includes a first arm massage unit 3000a disposed on one side of the body massage unit and a second arm massage unit 3000b disposed on the other side of the body massage unit (see reference). Figure 3 ).

[0229] Since the movement of the first arm massage providing part 3100a in the first arm massage part 3000a relative to the first support part 3200a and the movement of the second arm massage providing part 3100b in the second arm massage part 3000b relative to the second support part 3200b are performed by arm massage part drive modules, such as arm massage part actuators, respectively provided in the first arm massage part 3000a and the second arm massage part 3000b, they move independently of each other. Therefore, the first arm massage providing part 3100a and the second arm massage providing part 3100b move in opposite directions or move by different distances, thereby performing specific actions in stretching mode or massage mode.

[0230] The independent movement of the arm massage providing part 3100 according to this utility model, i.e., the movement control, enables the execution of various massage modes or stretching modes.

[0231] The movement of the arm massage providing unit 3100 relative to the support unit 3200 is performed independently by an arm massage driving module 3300, such as an arm massage actuator 3320, which movably connects the support unit 3200 and the arm massage providing unit 3100. Furthermore, the movement between the arm massage providing unit 3100 and the backrest 1000a, seat 1000b, and leg massage unit 2000 is constrained and not mechanically connected. For example, the arm massage providing unit 3100 can be movably connected relative to the support unit 3200, and can be configured not to be directly connected to the backrest 1000a, seat 1000b, or leg massage unit 2000. Therefore, in the arm massage unit 3000, the movement of the arm massage providing unit 3100 is independent of the angle adjustment of the back 1000a via the back angle actuator 1630 (i.e., back angle adjustment), the angle adjustment of the seat 1000b via the seat angle actuator 1620 (i.e., seat angle adjustment), and the leg angle adjustment via the leg angle actuator 1640, and can be performed independently.

[0232] Therefore, taking a stretching motion as an example, the airbag 3112 of the arm receiving groove 3110 can inflate and fix the user's arm. In this state, when the posture changes to a tilting mode, causing the back 1000a to rotate backward and downward, the arm receiving groove 3110 can remain in a state where the user's arm is fixed. Thus, the user's back is separated from the back 1000a, and the arm is in a pulled state. This allows for arm stretching movements.

[0233] After performing the predetermined arm stretching action, when the arm massage providing part 3100 moves backward and downward relative to the support part 3200, that is, when the arm massage providing part 3100 moves from the first position to the second position, the user's back can rest against the backrest 1000a again. As the user's shoulders descend in the tilt mode of the backrest 1000a, the user's arms move backward and to a lower position, thus achieving an overall comfortable position.

[0234] According to this utility model, since the arm massage actuator 3320 moves independently without being mechanically constrained by the adjustment of the leg angle, the back seat angle and / or the seat angle, the above-mentioned actions can be performed.

[0235] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of this disclosure, the movement of the arm massage providing part 3100 relative to the support part 3200 is associated with the length and angle adjustment movement of the first leg massage part 2000a and the second leg massage part 2000b, and can operate independently to achieve various movement modes. For example, when the first leg massage part 2000a and the second leg massage part 2000b of the leg massage part 2000 are adjusted to different lengths and different leg angles in a walking mode, the first arm massage providing part 3100a and the second arm massage providing part 3100b are associated with the movement of the first leg massage part 2000a and the second leg massage part 2000b and move independently, thereby achieving a movement more suitable for the walking mode.

[0236] Figure 11 This is a diagram illustrating the sensor section of the arm massage section of the massage device of this utility model.

[0237] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the arm massage providing part 3100 of the arm massage part 3000 may be provided with sensors 3401, 3402, 3403 for preventing safety accidents caused by the movement of the arm massage providing part 3100 or other parts of the massage device 100, such as the body massage part 1000.

[0238] When the arm massage providing part 3100 moves relative to the body massage part 1000 and / or the support part 3200, a jamming accident may occur between the arm massage providing part 3100 and the body massage part 1000 and / or the support part 3200. The jamming accident may occur because the user's body, clothing or other objects get stuck between the arm massage providing part 3100 and other parts.

[0239] In addition, when the arm massage unit 3000 moves backward, a collision may occur with the arm massage unit 3100.

[0240] To detect this, at least one or all of the rear surface 3106, lower surface 3107 and front surface 3108 of the arm massage providing part 3100 are equipped with sensors.

[0241] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the sensor may be an electrostatic sensor.

[0242] A first sensor 3401 is disposed on the rear surface 3106 of the arm massage providing part 3100 facing inward toward the upper body 3102. The first sensor 3401 may be a contact detection sensor that detects object contact to prevent collision accidents, and it is formed as an electrostatic sensor.

[0243] The first sensor 3401 extends in a partially curved shape corresponding to the ribs used to reinforce the upper body 3102 so as not to interfere with the ribs, and can be configured inside the upper body 3102 in a manner that contacts the rear surface 3106 of the arm massage providing part 3100. Although ribs are formed to reinforce the arm massage providing part 3100, the first sensor 3401 can be configured to contact the inner side of the rear surface 3106.

[0244] The first sensor 3401 detects contact with an object on the rear surface 3106 of the arm massage providing part 3100, thereby preventing accidents caused by collisions. When an object is present in the arm massage providing part 3100 while it is tilted downward relative to the support part 3200, the first sensor 3401 detects the static electricity of the object, and the massage device 100 can stop operating and output a warning sound.

[0245] The second sensor 3402 is configured to detect an object stuck between the inclined surface forming the lower surface 3107 and the inclined surface forming the upper surface of the support portion 3200 on the lower side of the arm massage providing portion 3100. The second sensor 3402 can be formed as an electrostatic sensor. The second sensor 3402 is configured to contact the lower surface 3107 on the inner side of the upper body 3102 of the arm massage providing portion 3100. The second sensor 3402 can be configured on the rear portion of the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage providing portion 3100. When the arm massage providing portion 3100 moves downward relative to the support portion 3200, an object is detected stuck between the inclined surfaces of the arm massage providing portion 3100 and the support portion 3200 along the movement path of the arm massage providing portion 3100. Similar to the first sensor 3401, the second sensor 3402 can extend in a shape that partially bends to correspond to the ribs used to reinforce the upper body 3102 so as not to interfere with the ribs. Therefore, although a rib for reinforcement is formed on the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage providing part 3100, the second sensor 3402 can be configured to contact the inside of the rear surface 3107.

[0246] The third sensor 3403 is configured to detect an object stuck between the inclined surface forming the lower surface 3107 and the inclined surface forming the upper surface of the support portion 3200 on the front side of the arm massage providing portion 3100. The third sensor 3403 can be configured as an electrostatic sensor. The third sensor 3403 is disposed inside the upper body 3102 of the arm massage providing portion 3100 and contacts the lower end of the front surface 3108. When the arm massage providing portion 3100 tilts upward relative to the support portion 3200, an object is detected stuck between the inclined surfaces of the arm massage providing portion 3100 and the support portion 3200 along the movement path of the arm massage providing portion 3100.

[0247] Figure 12This diagram illustrates the connection between the arm massage section and the body massage section in the massage device of this utility model. Figure 13 It is used for explanation Figure 12 The diagram shows the joint structure and assembly method of the joint. Figure 12 Part A shows the front joint. Figure 12 Part B shows the intermediate joint. Figure 12 Section C shows the rear joint.

[0248] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the arm massage unit 3000 is disposed on the side of the body massage unit 1000 such that a support unit 3200 is attached to the side of the frame of the body massage unit 1000. The frame of the body massage unit 1000 may be a base frame 1300.

[0249] The joint between the support 3200 and the body massage part 1000, such as the base frame 1300, includes front joints P1 and P2, middle joints P3 and rear joints P4.

[0250] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 Part (a) has front joints P1 and P2 formed on the front side of the base frame 1300.

[0251] The base frame 1300 has a connecting frame 1302 on its front side, and the connecting frame 1302 extends upward. The connecting frame 1302 can form the side of the frame of the body massage part 1000.

[0252] The first fastening port 1303 and the second fastening port 1304 protrude toward the front side of the frame of the body massage part 1000, such as the base frame 1300. The first fastening port 1303 forms a front connecting portion P1 and is formed to protrude forward from the upper part of the connecting frame 1302. The second fastening port 1304 forms a front connecting portion P2 and is formed to be spaced apart from the first fastening portion 1303 and protrude forward.

[0253] A fastening hole for fastening a bolt is formed on the inner surface 3203 of the support portion 3200, corresponding to the positions of the first fastening port 1303 and the second fastening port 1304. The bolt is fastened with the first fastening port 1303 and the second fastening port 1304 aligned with the fastening hole, thereby performing the assembly of the front joint portions P1 and P2.

[0254] Since the front joints P1 and P2 are shaped to be exposed to the outside from the front side of the massage device 100, bolt tightening can be easily performed.

[0255] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13In part (b), the intermediate joint P3 can be formed in the frame of the body massage part 1000, such as the middle part of the side of the base frame 1300.

[0256] A first insertion bracket 1310 is provided on the support shaft frame 1320 formed on the side of the frame of the body massage part 1000, such as the middle part of the side of the base frame 1300, facing the inner surface 3203 of the support part 3200. Correspondingly, a connecting protrusion 3205 protrudes from the middle part of the inner surface 3203 of the support part 3200.

[0257] The first insertion bracket 1310, provided in the support shaft frame 1320, has a first engaging groove 1311 that opens at its upper end. The opening of the first engaging groove 1311 is tapered, widening upwards. The two sides of the first insertion bracket 1310 are curved toward the support shaft frame 1320 of the base frame 1300. Therefore, the first insertion bracket 1310 is formed in the shape of a pocket in which the outer end of the engaging protrusion 3205 formed in the middle of the inner surface of the support portion 3200 is received.

[0258] The protrusion 3205 is formed on the middle part of the inner surface of the support 3200 corresponding to the first insertion bracket 1310, and is inserted into the first engagement groove 1311.

[0259] The protrusion 3205 forms a recess 3205a that is partially recessed into the first engagement groove 1311. Therefore, when the protrusion 3205 is placed in the opening of the first engagement groove 1311 of the first insertion bracket 1310, the protrusion 3205 is guided to the first engagement groove 1311, and the recess 3205a engages with the inside of the first engagement groove 1311.

[0260] Participation Figure 12 and Figure 13 In part (c), the rear joint P4 is adjacent to the middle joint P3 and is formed on the rear side below the middle joint P3.

[0261] The rear joint P4 is formed from the middle of the base frame 1300 and the inner surface 3203 of the support 3200 of the body massage part 1000, and a tool is inserted from the rear of the massage device 100 to achieve final fixation, and is called the rear joint P4.

[0262] The rear joint P4 includes a fastening member 1315 and a second insertion bracket 3206 that engages with the fastening member 1315.

[0263] A rear surface fastening hole 1322 is formed on the lower rear surface of the support shaft frame 1320 of the frame of the body massage part 1000, such as the base frame 1300, and a fastening member 1315 is engaged in the rear surface fastening hole 1322.

[0264] The fastening member 1315 may include a fastening part 1315a, an enlarged diameter part 1315b, and a head 1315c. The fastening part 1315a is threaded onto a fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface.

[0265] The fastening member 1315 has a first fastening depth in which the fastening part 1315a is loosely fixed to the fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface and a second fastening depth in which the fastening part 1315a is tightly fixed to the fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface.

[0266] The second insertion bracket 3206 protrudes from the middle of the inner surface 3203 of the support portion 3200 toward the rearward and lower part of the engagement protrusion 3205. The second insertion bracket 3206 protrudes to extend intersecting with the inner surface 3203 of the support portion 3200 and has a second engagement groove 3206a for the fastening member 1315 to be inserted.

[0267] Compared to the first engagement groove 1311 of the first insertion bracket 1310, the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 is formed with a different opening direction. The first engagement groove 1311 of the first insertion bracket 1310 opens upward, while the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 opens downward.

[0268] The opening of the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 is formed to guide the fastening portion 1315a of the fastening member 1315 to the inside of the second engagement groove 3206a. The inner groove of the second engagement groove 3206a is formed to correspond to the enlarged diameter portion 1315b of the fastening member 1315.

[0269] With the fastening member 1315 loosely assembled at the first fastening depth, the fastening part 1315a is inserted into the inner groove of the second mating groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206, thus maintaining a loosely assembled state. Subsequently, when the fastening member 1315 is tightly fastened at the second fastening depth, the enlarged diameter part 1315b of the fastening member 1315 can penetrate deep into the inner groove of the second mating groove 3206a and be securely fixed.

[0270] Therefore, a chamfer can be formed between the enlarged diameter portion 1315b and the fastening portion 1315a of the fastening member 1315, so that the diameter gradually increases. Therefore, when the fastening member 1315 is fastened in the first fastening depth state where it is loosely assembled, it is in the second fastening depth state, and the rear joint P4 can be firmly fastened and shaking is prevented.

[0271] The following describes the assembly method of the support part 3200 and the base frame 1300 of the arm massage part 3000.

[0272] In the massage device 100, the arm massage unit 3000 is fixed to the side of the body massage unit 1000. With the seat unit 1000b and the backrest 1000a assembled on the upper part of the base frame 1300, the support unit 3200 can be fixed to the base frame 1300.

[0273] Because the rear joint P4 is located behind the support 3200 and the body massage unit 1000, it is difficult to assemble using simple bolt fastening. The fastening positions are difficult to visually confirm and not easy to align, thus increasing the difficulty of assembly.

[0274] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, firstly, at the position of the rear joint P4, the fastening member 1315 is loosely assembled into the fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface of the support shaft frame 1320.

[0275] Subsequently, the insertion and assembly of the first insertion bracket 1310 and the coupling protrusion 3205 are performed at the intermediate joint P3 position, and the insertion and assembly of the second insertion bracket 3206 and the fastening member 1315 are performed at the rear joint P4 position.

[0276] At the rear joint P4 position, the fastening member 1315 is inserted into the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 and aligned by hooking it in place. Then, using a longer tool on the rear side of the massage device 100, the fastening member 1315 is tightened to secure it at position P4. At this time, the enlarged diameter portion 1315b of the fastening member 1315 can be pressed into the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 and securely engaged.

[0277] Since the head 1315c of the fastening member 1315 of the rear joint faces the rear of the massage device 100, the assembly of the rear joint P4 can be completed by a simple action of tightening with a longer tool.

[0278] Subsequently, at the front joints P1 and P2, the support 3200 and the front of the base frame 1300 are fixed by fastening bolts through the first fastening port 1303 and the second fastening port 1304 of the base frame 1300.

[0279] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, since the assembly of the second insertion bracket 3206 and the fastening member 1315 at the rear joint P4 is performed by the insertion guidance of the first insertion bracket 1310 and the coupling protrusion 3205 at the intermediate joint P3, the fastening position at the rear joint P4 is provided, that is, the engagement of the fastening member 1315 and the second insertion bracket 3206 is relatively easy.

[0280] In addition, at the rear joint P4 position, which is difficult to assemble, the fastening member 1315 can be tightened in a state where the load of the support 3200 is not concentrated on the fastening member 1315 but distributed, so tightening with tools can be performed relatively easily.

[0281] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the combined structure of the base frame and the arm massage part, the structure of the arm massage providing part that moves obliquely relative to the support part is not limited, and can be applied to an arm massage part in which the arm massage providing part and the support part are fixed relative to each other.

[0282] The embodiments of this disclosure have been described in more detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not necessarily limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of this disclosure. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in this disclosure are not intended to limit the technical spirit of this disclosure, but are for illustrative purposes, and the scope of the technical spirit of this disclosure is not limited to these embodiments. Therefore, the above embodiments should be understood in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of protection of this disclosure should be interpreted according to the claims, and all technical ideas within the equivalent scope should be interpreted as being included within the scope of the rights of this disclosure.
