The first arm massage unit 1201 and the second arm massage unit 1202 may be based on the control unit 1400 of the massage device 1000 (see reference). Figure 3 They are controlled independently of each other.
[0083] The leg massage unit 1300 may be disposed at the lower part of the body massage unit 1100 and / or at the lower front part of the massage device 1000. The leg massage unit 1300 may include at least one of the following leg massage units: a first leg massage unit 1310 disposed on one side of the body massage unit 1100 for massaging one leg of the user; and a second leg massage unit 1330 disposed on the other side of the body massage unit 1100 for massaging the other leg of the user.
[0084] The leg massage unit 1300 includes a receiving space for accommodating a user's leg and can provide a leg massage to the user by massaging at least a portion of the user's leg. For example, the leg massage unit 1300 may include a calf massage unit for massaging the user's lower leg and / or a foot massage unit for massaging the user's foot.
[0085] The leg massage unit 1300 can be adjusted in length according to the user's body characteristics. For example, when a tall user uses the massage device 1000, the length of the leg massage unit 1300 needs to be increased due to the longer calves. Conversely, when a short user uses the massage device 1000, the length of the leg massage unit 1300 needs to be shortened due to the shorter calves. Therefore, the leg massage unit 1300 can provide leg massage tailored to the user's height. According to one embodiment of this invention, the user can control the massage device 1000 using a massage device control device CD. The massage device control device CD can be connected to the massage device 1000 via wired and / or wireless communication.
[0086] The massage device control device CD may include at least one of the following user devices: remote controller, cellular phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), but is not limited thereto, and may include a variety of electronic devices that can be connected to the massage device 1000 via wired or wireless communication.
[0087] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0088] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main frame 1130 may include an upper frame 1131 on which a massage module 1110 is provided and a base frame 1132 for supporting the upper frame 1131.
[0089] A rack may be provided along the length of the upper frame 1131. The rack is a component used to guide the massage module 1110 to move up and down, and can be constructed using known racks that include multiple valleys and multiple ridges.
[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the racks can be arranged facing each other on both sides of the upper frame 1131, and the massage module 1110 can move along the racks.
[0091] The rack is formed in the vertical direction, but is not limited thereto. The rack may include racks in the front-back direction and racks in the vertical direction. In this disclosure, the front-back direction may refer to the direction from the massage module 1110 toward the user or the direction from the user toward the massage module 1110, to... Figure 2 Using the X-axis as a reference, it can refer to the X-axis direction.
[0092] The massage module 1110 may include gears that mesh with a rack. More specifically, the massage module 1110 may include gears that mesh with a rack in the forward-backward direction and a rack in the up-down direction, respectively. The gears are rotated by an actuator disposed in the massage module 1110, thereby allowing the massage module 1110 to move forward, backward, up, or down.
[0093] As the massage module 1110 moves forward, the massage intensity can be increased. Conversely, as the massage module 1110 moves backward, the massage intensity can be decreased.
[0094] Racks can be made of metal or plastic materials. For example, racks can be made of iron, steel, alloys, reinforced plastics, melamine resin, phenolic resin, etc., but are not limited to these.
[0095] The upper frame 1131 can be implemented in various shapes. For example, depending on the shape, the upper frame 1131 can be divided into an S-frame, an L-frame, an S&L-frame, and a double S&L-frame, but is not limited to these.
[0096] An S-frame refers to a frame in which at least a portion of the upper frame 1131 has a curved shape like an "S". An L-frame refers to a frame in which at least a portion of the upper frame 1131 has a curved shape like an "L". An S&L-frame refers to a frame in which both parts have curved shapes like an "S" and curved shapes like an "L". A double S&L-frame refers to a frame in which both parts have curved shapes like an "L" and curved shapes like an "S".
[0097] The base frame 1132 refers to the part that supports the upper frame 1131 and is in contact with the ground. The base frame 1132 may include an upper base frame 1132a and a lower base frame 1132b.
[0098] The upper frame 1132a of the base can support the upper frame 1131, and the lower frame 1132b of the base can contact the ground. In addition, the upper frame 1132a of the base can be configured to contact the lower frame 1132b of the base.
[0099] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper frame 1132a of the base can move along the lower frame 1132b of the base. For example, the upper frame 1132a of the base can slide forward or backward along the lower frame 1132b of the base. In this case, the upper frame 1131 is connected to the upper frame 1132a of the base, so that it can move as the upper frame 1132a of the base moves.
[0100] For example, when the upper frame 1132a of the base moves forward, the upper frame 1131 can also move forward together; when the upper frame 1132a of the base moves backward, the upper frame 1131 can also move backward together. This allows the body massage unit 1100 to slide.
[0101] To allow movement of the upper frame 1132a, casters can be provided at the lower part of the upper frame 1132a. Additionally, a guide member can be provided at the upper part of the lower frame 1132b to guide the casters. The casters on the upper frame 1132a move along the guide member on the lower frame 1132b, thereby allowing the upper frame 1132a to move forward or backward.
[0102] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 1000 may not provide a sliding function. In this case, the base frame 1132 may not be separated into an upper frame and a lower frame.

More preferably, the extension portion 2320 may be configured to extend in the length direction or in the height direction from the second mounting portion 2310 toward the inside of the calf massage housing 2110.
[0197] The extension portion 2320 is configured to surround the inner side surface of the lower calf massage housing 2112 when it extends in the height direction from the second mounting portion 2310, thereby fixing the second sensor unit 2300 to the lower calf massage housing 2112. In addition, when the extension portion 2320 extends in the height direction from the second mounting portion 2310, the second sensor unit 2300 may be configured in a "匚" shape.
[0198] That is, the second sensor unit 2300 can be fixed by the second mounting portion 2310 being closely attached to the third groove 2113 and the second sensing unit 2330 being closely attached to the fourth groove 2114, and can be made in a "匚" shape or an "L" shape corresponding to the shape of the extension portion 2320.
[0199] Figure 6A A cross-sectional view in the height direction of the foot massage unit 2000 is shown. Figure 6B Enlarged view shows Figure 6A a part of Figure 6C Enlarged view shows the first groove for fastening the sensor unit. Figure 6D A perspective view of the first sensor unit 2200 is shown.
[0200] As one embodiment of this utility model, the first sensor portion 2200 can be configured to have a predetermined slope corresponding to the shape of the foot massage housing 2010. More preferably, the first sensor portion 2200 can be inserted obliquely in a direction approaching the calf massage portion 2100. In particular, the first sensor portion 2200 is located at the upper front end of the foot massage housing 2010 corresponding to the instep of the user, and can be configured along an oblique surface that rises rearward.
[0201] In particular, in the first sensor section 2200, the front end and the rear end of the first sensor section 2200 can be located at different heights from the lower end of the outer side of the lower foot massage housing 2012. More preferably, with the lower end of the outer side of the lower foot massage housing 2012 as a reference, the rear end of the first sensor section 2200 can be located at a relatively higher position than the front end of the first sensor section 2200.
[0202] The first mounting portion 2210 can be inserted into and fixed to the first groove 2013, and is configured to engage with the two ends of the first groove 2013 in terms of size. At this time, an elastic element (not shown) can be inserted between the two ends of the first groove 2013 and the mounting portion of the first sensor portion 2200 to prevent a predetermined gap, thereby making the mounting portion and the first groove 2013 tightly engaged.
[0203] Furthermore, one side of the first mounting portion 2210 is connected to the first sensing portion 2230, and the other side is connected to the locking portion 2220. The first sensing portion 2230 may be configured to have the same length as the first mounting portion 2210 in the longitudinal direction, and is configured to extend in the height direction from one end of the first mounting portion 2210 toward the lower end of the outer side of the lower foot massage housing 2012.
[0204] Furthermore, the first sensing unit 2230 is configured to accurately detect not only the position of the user's body parts but also the position of the foot massage unit 2000, thereby ensuring safety. Specifically, the first sensing unit 2230 includes a sensor element (not shown) for detecting the positional relationship with the foot massage unit 2000, and can ensure user safety by monitoring the operational status of the foot massage unit 2000 in real time.
[0205] More preferably, the sensor element can use mechanical, optical, magnetic, or electrical detection methods to detect the position of the foot massage unit 2000, and is designed to maximize safety under specific circumstances using each method.
[0206] The mechanical detection method includes a pressure detection element that is in direct contact with the foot massage unit 2000, and can immediately detect and control the action when the foot massage unit 2000 reaches a specific position or is subjected to abnormal pressure.
[0207] The optical detection method includes an optical sensor for detecting reflectors or optical marks located on the foot massage unit 2000, which can provide more accurate position information by detecting the position of the foot massage unit 2000 in a non-contact manner.
[0208] The magnetic detection method includes a magnetic field sensor that interacts with a magnetic material attached to the foot massage unit 2000, and detects the accurate position of the foot massage unit 2000 by detecting changes in the position of the magnetic material to ensure safety. The electrical detection method includes a capacitive sensor or an electrical sensor, and confirms the position by detecting changes in the electrical characteristics of the foot massage unit 2000. The first sensing unit 2230 confirms the position and operating state of the foot massage unit 2000 through such detection methods, and provides this information to the control unit to maintain safe operation.
[0209] Furthermore, the first sensing unit 2230 can be fixed to the second slot 2014 in various ways. As an example, a protrusion (not shown) is formed on the outer surface of the first sensing unit 2230, and a locking block (not shown) that engages with the protrusion can be formed on the inner side of the second slot 2014. Accordingly, when the first sensing unit 2230 is inserted into the second slot 2014, the protrusion engages with the locking block of the second slot 2014, thereby fixing the first sensing unit 2230.
[0210] In particular, the first sensing unit 2230 can be fastened to the second slot 2014 by a pin engagement or by a clip fastening. Therefore, when the first sensing unit 2230 is inserted into the second slot 2014, it can be stably fixed by one or more of the following methods: a locking fastening method, a pin fastening method, and a clip fastening method.
[0211] The locking portion 2220 is connected to the other end of the mounting portion and can be configured to have the same length as the mounting portion in the longitudinal direction. In particular, the locking portion 2220 is configured to extend in the height direction from the other end of the mounting portion toward the lower end of the inner side of the lower foot massage housing 2012.
[0212] The length of the locking portion 2220 in the height direction can be configured to be relatively shorter than the length of the first sensing portion 2230 in the height direction. That is, the first sensing portion 2230 is configured to have a larger cross-sectional area than the locking portion 2220. With this structure, the first sensing portion 2230 can expand its detection area, thereby enabling it to detect the movement of objects such as the user's body or other objects more widely.
[0213] Furthermore, the first sensor unit 2200 includes a first connector 2240 located inside the foot massage housing 2010, and the first connector 2240 can be configured to be energized with the first sensor plate 2430. In particular, the first connector 2240 is configured to protrude from the lower end of the locking portion 2220 and extend into the inner side of the lower leg housing.
[0214] Furthermore, the fastening hole 2241 is located inside the first connector 2240. The fastening hole 2241 is configured to fasten to the upper foot massage housing 2011, or to a wire electrically connected to the first sensor plate 2430. In particular, it can be configured to allow for bolt or pin fastening via a corresponding fastening part (not shown) on the upper foot massage housing 2011.
[0215] More preferably, a bolt passes through the fastening hole 2241 and is inserted, the bolt being able to engage with a threaded fastening portion (not shown) of the upper foot massage housing 2011. Furthermore, a pin passes through the fastening hole 2241 and is inserted in a manner that engages with a corresponding portion of the upper foot massage housing 2011.
[0216] Furthermore, the first connector 2240 is configured to connect to a wire via welding or other electrical connection methods, and to be energized to the first sensor board 2430 via the wire. As an example, in addition to welding, the first connector 2240 can also utilize crimp terminals, screw fastening, or clamping to achieve connection with the wire. More preferably, the wire can be fixed to the first connection hole 2241 formed inside the first connector 2240 via welding or other electrical connection methods.
[0217] Therefore, the first sensor unit 2200 is connected to a wire via the first connector 2240, thereby transmitting the electrical signal measured by the first sensor unit 2200 to the first sensor board 2430 via the wire. As described above, the transmission stability of the electrical signal can be further improved through various connection methods. Therefore, for the first sensor unit 2200, while placing the first mounting part 2210 into the first slot 2013, securing the first sensing part 2230 to the second slot 2014, and fixing the locking part 2220 to the lower foot massage housing 2012, it can be further fixed to the upper foot massage housing 2011 by bolt or pin fastening through the fastening hole 2241.

[0219] As an embodiment of the present utility model, the second sensor unit 2300 may be configured to have a curved shape corresponding to the shape of the lower calf massage housing 2112. In particular, the second sensing unit 2330 of the second sensor unit 2300 may be configured to have a predetermined curvature value corresponding to the shape of the upper end of the outer side surface of the lower calf massage housing 2112.
[0220] In addition, at least a part of the second sensor unit 2300 may be configured to have a shape with a predetermined curvature value such that its cross-section is configured to be an "L" shape or a "匚" shape.
[0221] More preferably, the second sensing unit 2330 may be configured to extend in the length direction, the second placement unit 2310 extends from at least a part of the second sensing unit 2330 in a first direction, and the extension unit 2320 is configured to be located at both ends of the second placement unit 2310 and extend in a second direction.
[0222] Wherein, the first direction may refer to a direction perpendicular to the second sensing unit 2330, and the second direction may refer to a direction perpendicular to the second placement unit 2310.
[0223] The second placement unit 2310 is configured to extend in the length direction along the upper surface of the lower calf massage housing 2112, and one side surface thereof is connected to the second sensing unit 2330. In particular, both ends of the second placement unit 2310 are connected to the extension unit 2320 extending inwardly of the lower calf massage housing 2112.
[0224] The second sensing unit 2330 is configured to extend in the length direction along the upper end of the outer side surface of the lower calf massage housing 2112 in a state where at least a part of it is connected to the second placement unit 2310. The second sensing unit 2330 may be inserted and fixed in the fourth groove 2114 formed by injection molding.
[0225] In addition, the second sensing unit 2330 may be fixed to the fourth groove 2114 in various coupling manners. As an example, a protrusion (not shown) is formed on the outer side surface of the second sensing unit 2330, and a clamping block (not shown) engaging with the protrusion may be formed inside the fourth groove 2114. Accordingly, when the second sensing unit 2330 is inserted into the fourth groove 2114, the protrusion engages with the clamping block of the fourth groove 2114, so that the second sensing unit 2330 can be fixed. In particular, the second sensing unit 2330 may be fastened to the fourth groove 2114 by a pin coupling method or by a clamping fastening method.
[0226] Therefore, when the second sensing unit 2330 is inserted into the fourth slot 2114, it can be fastened to the fourth slot 2114 by one or more of the locking fastening method, pin fastening method, and clip fastening method.
[0227] Furthermore, the second sensor portion 2300 can be inserted into and fixed to the inlet hole 2115 formed on the lower calf massage housing 2112. More preferably, the second sensor portion 2330 can be configured such that one end is bent in a predetermined step. By inserting one end of the second sensor portion 2330, which is bent in a predetermined step, into the inlet hole 2115, the second sensor portion 2300 can be fixed to the lower calf massage housing 2112.
[0228] The second sensor unit 2300 includes a second connector 2340 located inside the lower calf massage housing 2112, and the second connector 2340 can be configured to be energized with the second sensor plate 2431. In particular, the second sensor unit 2300 can be fastened to the upper calf massage housing 2111 via the second connector 2340.
[0229] The second connector 2340 may be located in the second mounting portion 2310 and may be located in the extension portion 2320 extending in the length direction from the second mounting portion 2310 to the inner side of the lower calf massage housing 2112.
[0230] The second sensor unit 2300 can be inserted into the lower calf massage housing 2112 at the position corresponding to the second connector 2340 where the bolt passing through the second connector 2340 is located.
[0231] Furthermore, the second connector 2340 can be connected to the wire via various electrical connection methods and is configured to energize the second sensor board 2431 through the wire. For example, the second connector 2340 can be connected to the wire not only by soldering but also by spring terminals, quick connectors, or magnetic connections. More preferably, the second connector 2340 can be designed to include a separate electrical contact surface or a contact structure made of conductive material to enable a stable connection with the wire.
[0232] Therefore, the second sensor unit 2300 is connected to a wire via the second connector 2340, thereby transmitting the electrical signal measured by the second sensor unit 2300 to the second sensor board 2431 via the wire. Using these diverse connection methods enhances the stability of the electrical connection and also improves assembly efficiency.
[0233] In particular, the calf massage housing 2110 may be provided with an elongated hole 2140, and a harness 2150 connected to the first sensor unit and the second sensor unit through the elongated hole may be provided. More preferably, the elongated hole 2140 may be located on the rear surface of the calf massage housing 2110, and the elongated hole 2140 may be located between the two sides of the lower calf massage housing 2112.

[0240] The movable member 2420 is located between the calf massage section 2100 and the main member 2410. Specifically, the movable member 2420 moves up and down along the height direction of the main member 2410 by means of a foot massage actuator 2460 located between the calf massage section 2100 and the main member 2410. The calf massage section 2100, which is fastened to the movable member 2420, moves integrally with the movement of the movable member 2420 in the height direction.
[0241] That is, the calf massage unit 2100 can be configured to move up and down in the height direction of the main component 2410, and can move integrally with the foot massage unit 2000, or can move independently of the foot massage unit 2000.

[0245] The movement of the calf massage unit 2100 can be configured to move integrally with the foot massage unit 2000 or independently of the foot massage unit 2000.
[0246] The foot massage unit 2000 is fastened to the calf massage unit 2100, so that it can move up and down in the height direction integrally with the calf massage unit 2100 through the operation of the foot massage actuator 2460. Alternatively, the foot massage unit 2000 is configured to move up and down independently in the height direction through the operation of the drive motor 2450 arranged adjacent to the foot massage actuator 2460.
[0247] The first sensor plate 2430 can be configured adjacent to the first sensor section 2200. In particular, one first sensor section 2200 can be provided on the inner side of each of the first foot massage section and the second foot massage section.

[0250] The second sensor plate 2431 can be configured adjacent to the second sensor section 2300. In particular, the second sensor section 2300 can be configured on both sides of the first and second calf massage sections, and the second sensor plate 2431 can be configured in the rear center inside the calf massage housing 2110.
[0251] In another embodiment of this utility model, the third sensor plate 2432 can be located on the outside of the first or second calf massage housing and is configured to energize the first sensor unit 2200 and the second sensor unit 2300. When the first sensor plate 2430 or the second sensor plate 2431 is damaged, the third sensor plate 2432 can replace the damaged first sensor plate 2430 or the second sensor plate 2431, receive the user's position, etc. from the first sensor unit 2200 or the second sensor unit 2300, and transmit a signal to stop the operation of the massage device 1000.
[0252] The foot massage actuator 2460 and drive motor 2450 operate by receiving signals from the drive plate 2440. In particular, the drive plate 2440 is configured facing a third sensor plate 2432, which may be located on the outside of the first or second calf massage housing 2100.
[0253] Specifically, the drive plate 2440 can be configured to face at least one of the first sensor plate 2430, the second sensor plate 2431, and the third sensor plate 2432, with the main component as a reference. More preferably, the drive plate 2440 can be located on one side or the other side of the main component 2410. In this case, the drive plate 2440 can be positioned facing the third sensor plate 2432.
