Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a massage device that can correct a user's pelvis by using an airbag that applies pressure to the user's pelvis from all directions. Background Technology
[0002] Generally speaking, 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 moving a part of the body, to regulate 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. As the need to relieve stiff muscles and eliminate fatigue or stress through massage grows, 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 and / or medical functions. Therefore, research on methods to effectively control massage devices continues.
[0005] In particular, research activity is increasing on devices and methods for providing massage in an optimized form to each user, as each user may have different areas to massage and different levels of stimulation.
[0006] On the other hand, the pelvis is composed of two hip bones and the sacrum and coccyx behind them. The pelvis connects the spine and lower limbs, not only supporting body weight and enabling walking, but also protecting the internal organs, uterus, ovaries, bladder and other major organs from external impacts.
[0007] In particular, the various muscles that form the buttocks on the inner and outer surfaces of the pelvis, such as the gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, and gluteus maximus, play a role in maintaining body balance, enabling trunk and lower limb movement, and keeping the body upright.
[0008] However, incorrect habits, such as sitting cross-legged on a chair, sitting with the buttocks forward, or tilting to one side, can cause the pelvis to twist and deform repeatedly. Such pelvic deformation can not only accelerate spinal deformities such as scoliosis, but also accelerate the deformation of the entire body, thereby causing various health problems.
[0009] However, while traditional massage devices can massage the user's lower body, including the thighs, they do not employ a design for massaging to correct a user's deformed pelvis. Utility Model Content

[0071] A massage device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a massage section forming an area for accommodating at least a portion of a user's body, supporting the user's body (e.g., torso), and massaging a portion of the user's body.
[0072] The massage unit may include at least one of the following massage units: a body massage unit 1100 for massaging at least a part of the user's body; an arm massage unit 1200 for massaging the user's arms; and a leg massage unit 1300 for massaging the user's legs.
[0073] The body massage unit 1100 can massage at least a part of the user's body. For example, the body massage unit 1100 can massage at least a part of at least one of the user's upper body and lower body.
[0074] Specifically, the body massage unit 1100 may include: a massage module 100 that provides 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 main frame 1110 that forms the frame of the body massage unit 1100 and supports the user's body; and a user input unit (not shown) for receiving input in any form from the user.
[0075] The structures of the body massage unit 1100 described above are merely exemplary embodiments. In addition to the aforementioned structures, the body massage unit 1100 may also include a variety of other structures.
[0076] In addition, such as Figure 1 The shape and structure of the massage device 1000 shown are merely examples. Various forms of massage devices 1000 should also fall within the scope of this utility model without departing from the scope of the claims.
[0077] The body massage unit 1100 can be formed into a space of any shape to accommodate the user. The body massage unit 1100 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 1100 can be implemented in a seated form that can accommodate the whole body or part of the user's body, thereby supporting at least a part of the user's body. For example, the body massage unit 1100 may include: a backrest for supporting at least a part of the user's upper body; and a seat for supporting at least a part of the user's lower body.
[0078] The portion of the body massage unit 1100 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 1000.
[0079] At least a portion of the body massage unit 1100 is slidable. For example, when the body massage unit 1100 begins to massage (or when the body massage unit 1100 is actuated), at least a portion of the body massage unit 1100 can slide forward. Additionally, the body massage unit 1100 can tilt backward. As a result, the body massage unit 1100 can provide massage in a rearward tilted state. For example, the massage device 1000 may include an actuator that causes the massage device 1000 (or body massage unit 1100) to tilt backward. The massage device 1000 can tilt or return the body massage unit 1100 to its original state by actuating the aforementioned actuator. In this case, the actuator may be disposed in at least a portion of the massage device (e.g., the base frame).
[0080] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 1000 may include at least one airbag (not shown). The airbag may be located in at least one of the following areas: the body massage portion 1100 (e.g., at least one of the areas corresponding to the user's shoulder, the pelvis, and the waist in the entire area of the body massage portion 1100), at least one of the following areas: the arm massage portion 1200, and at least one of the following areas: the leg massage portion 1300; but is not limited thereto, and may be disposed in multiple portions of the massage device 1000.
[0081] The massage device 1000 may include an air supply unit that supplies air to an airbag to inflate it. The air supply unit may be located inside the body massage unit 1100 or in the leg massage unit 1300. Alternatively, the air supply unit may be located outside the massage device 1000.
[0082] The massage module 100 can be disposed inside the body massage unit 1100 to provide any form of mechanical stimulation to the user accommodated in the body massage unit 1100. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the massage module 100 is movable along the main frame 1110 inside the body massage unit 1100. In other words, the massage module 100 can massage at least a part of the user's body while moving along the main frame 1110.
[0083] The main frame 1110 of the body massage unit 1100 may include a rack gear 1111a, allowing the massage module 100 to provide mechanical stimulation to various parts of the user's body while moving along the rack gear 1111a. For example, the massage module 100 may massage the user's back and shoulders, waist, hips, and thighs by patting or kneading at least one of these body parts. The massage module 100 may include, but is not limited to, at least one massage unit selected from ball massage units and roller massage units.
[0084] The main frame 1110 forms the internal structure of the body massage part 1100 and can be made of metal or plastic materials. For example, the main frame 1110 can be made of iron, alloy, steel, etc., but is not limited to these, and can also be made of various hard materials.
[0085] The audio output module 1500 can be positioned in various locations. For example, the audio output module 1500 may include multiple output units, such as an upper audio output unit positioned above the seat portion that contacts the user, a front audio output unit attached to the front end of the left and right arm massage portions of the seat portion, and / or a rear audio output unit attached to the rear end of the arm massage portions 1200, etc., but is not limited to these. In this case, the audio output module 1500 can provide stereo sound such as 5.1 channels, but is not limited to these.
[0086] The arm massage unit 1200 can be disposed on at least one side of the body massage unit 1100. For example, the arm massage unit 1200 may include at least one of the following arm massage units: a first arm massage unit 1210 disposed on one side of the body massage unit 1100 for massaging one side of the user's arm; and a second arm massage unit 1230 disposed on the other side of the body massage unit 1100 for massaging the other side of the user's arm. The first arm massage unit 1210 may be disposed on one side of at least one of the seat portion and the backrest portion of the body massage unit 1100. The second arm massage unit 1230 may be disposed on the other side of at least one of the seat portion and the backrest portion of the body massage unit 1100. The first arm massage unit 1210 and the second arm massage unit 1230 may operate independently of each other based on the control of the control unit of the massage device 1000.
[0087] 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: a first leg massage unit 1310 disposed on one side of the leg massage unit 1300 and massaging one side of the user's leg; and a second leg massage unit 1330 disposed on the other side of the leg massage unit 1300 and massaging the other side of the user's leg.
[0088] The leg massage unit 1300 includes a receiving space for accommodating a user's legs and can provide leg massage to the user by massaging at least a portion of the user's legs. For example, the leg massage unit 1300 may include a calf massage unit for massaging the user's lower legs and / or a foot massage unit for massaging the user's feet.
[0089] 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 leg massage unit 1300 needs to be longer because of the longer calves. Conversely, when a short user uses the massage device 1000, the leg massage unit 1300 needs to be shorter because of the shorter calves. Therefore, the leg massage unit 1300 can provide a leg massage customized to the user's height.
[0090] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a user can control a massage device 1000 using a massage device control device 2000. The massage device control device 2000 can be connected to the massage device 1000 via wired and / or wireless communication.
[0091] The massage device control device 2000 may include at least one of the following user devices: a remote controller, a cellular phone, or a personal digital assistant (PDA), but is not limited thereto, and may include various electronic devices that can be connected to the massage device 1000 via wired or wireless communication.

[0093] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main frame 1110 may include an upper frame 1111 on which the massage module 100 is provided and a base frame 1112 for supporting the upper frame 1111.
[0094] At least a portion of the upper frame 1111 may be provided with a rack. The rack is a component for guiding the massage module 100 to move up and down, and may include multiple valleys and multiple ridges.
[0095] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the racks can be arranged facing each other on both sides of the upper frame 1111, and the massage module 100 can move along the racks.
[0096] exist Figure 2 In this invention, the rack is formed along the vertical direction, but is not limited to this. The rack may include racks in the front-back direction and racks in the vertical direction. In this invention, the front-back direction may refer to the direction from the massage module 100 toward the user or the direction from the user toward the massage module 100, and may refer to the Z-axis direction.
[0097] The massage module 100 may include gears that mesh with a rack. More specifically, the massage module 100 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 100, thereby allowing the massage module 100 to move forward, backward, up, or down.
[0098] As the massage module 100 moves forward, the massage intensity can increase. Conversely, as the massage module 100 moves backward, the massage intensity can decrease.
[0099] 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.
[0100] The upper frame 1111 can be implemented in various shapes. For example, depending on the shape, the upper frame 1111 can be divided into S-frame, L-frame, S&L-frame, double S&L-frame, but is not limited to these.
[0101] An S-frame refers to a frame in which at least a portion of the upper frame 1111 includes a shape curved like an "S". An L-frame refers to a frame in which at least a portion of the upper frame 1111 includes a shape curved like an "L". An S&L frame refers to a frame that includes both a shape curved like an "S" and a shape curved like an "L". A double S&L frame refers to a frame that includes a shape curved like an "L" and two portions of shapes curved like an "S".
[0102] The base frame 1112 refers to the part of the main frame 1110 that supports the upper frame 1111 and connects to the ground. The base frame 1112 may include a base upper frame 1112a and a base upper frame 1112b.
[0103] The upper base frame 1112a can support the upper frame 1111, and the upper base frame 1112b can be connected to the ground. In addition, the upper base frame 1112a can be set in a manner that connects to the upper base frame 1112b.
[0104] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper base frame 1112a is movable along the upper base frame 1112b. For example, the upper base frame 1112a is movable forward or backward along the upper base frame 1112b. In this case, the upper frame 1111 is connected to the upper base frame 1112a, and thus can move with the movement of the upper base frame 1112a.
[0105] For example, when the upper frame 1112a moves forward, the upper frame 1111 can also move forward together; when the upper frame 1112a moves backward, the upper frame 1111 can also move backward together. This allows the body massage unit 1100 to slide.
[0106] Specifically, to allow movement of the upper base frame 1112a, a moving wheel can be provided at the lower part of the upper base frame 1112a. Additionally, a guide member capable of guiding the moving wheel can be provided at the upper part of the upper base frame 1112b. The moving wheel provided in the upper base frame 1112a moves along the guide member provided in the upper base frame 1112b, thereby allowing the upper base frame 1112a to move forward or backward.
[0107] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 1000 may not provide a sliding function. In this case, the base frame 1112 may not be separated into an upper frame and a lower frame.

Figure 9B This is a diagram illustrating the position and inflation state of the pelvic airbag and hip airbag of a massage device according to an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 10 This is a diagram illustrating the structure of the rear and front pelvic airbags of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11A This is a diagram illustrating the rear and front pelvic airbags of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11B This is a diagram illustrating the inflated state of the rear and front pelvic airbags of the massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 12 This is a diagram illustrating the relative positions of the front pelvic airbag and the buttock airbag of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0149] like Figure 5A As shown, the massage device 1000 according to this embodiment may include a backrest 210 supporting the user and a seat 220.
[0150] For example, the massage device 1000 may include a backrest 210 that supports at least a portion of the user's upper body and a seat 220 that supports at least a portion of the user's lower body, and may include a pelvic airbag 300 and a hip airbag 400.
[0151] The pelvic airbag 300 is located on both sides of the seat portion 220, that is, on both sides of the seat surface formed on the seat portion, and is disposed on the upper part of the seat portion 220 and fixed to the airbag fastening portion 310. The hip airbag 400 can be located on the seat surface of the seat portion.
[0152] The pelvic airbag 300 can massage the user's pelvis and / or thighs by applying pressure, or it can change the position of the user's pelvis and / or hips. For example, in the pelvic airbag 300, an airbag located only on one side of the seat portion 220 inflates to push the user's pelvis to the other side of the seat portion 220, or an airbag located only on the other side of the seat portion 220 inflates to push the user's pelvis to one side of the seat portion 220.
[0153] The hip airbag 400 can massage by applying pressure to the user's hips and / or lower thighs, or it can change the position of the user's hips and / or buttocks. For example, the hip airbag 400 inflates and applies pressure to the user's hips and / or lower thighs, and the pelvic airbag 300 inflates and applies pressure simultaneously in the same direction on both sides, thereby lifting the user's lower body upwards and to the center of the seat 220 with reference to the seating surface of the seat 220.
[0154] Specifically, as the hip airbags 400 inflate simultaneously on both sides and press against the user's hips and / or lower thighs, the user's hips and / or thighs are lifted. In this state, the pelvic airbags 300 inflate simultaneously on both sides, thereby aligning with the user's lower body on the seating surface of the seat portion 220. More specifically, in the case of the pelvic airbags 300, one end protrudes further forward relative to one end of the hip airbags 400, and the other end protrudes further backward relative to the other end of the hip airbags 400. Therefore, pressure can be applied to the sides and top of the user's hips and / or thighs in a manner that covers the hip airbags 400, thereby moving the user's lower body from the seating surface of the seat portion 220 to the center.
[0155] The massage device 1000 is disposed on the upper part of the seat 220 and may include a seat cushion made of padding material so that the user can sit comfortably on the seat.
[0156] Although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the seat cushion may consist of a foam layer made of a cushion or the like that constituting the user's seating surface, and a covering portion made of, for example, fabric or leather, arranged around the foam layer. In this case, the covering portion may be arranged around the outer side of the foam layer, wherein the hip airbag 400 may be located on the upper part of the covering portion, and in the entire upper region of the covering portion, in the area where the user's hips rest. For example, one end of the hip airbag 400, i.e., the airbag 410a, may be fixedly connected to the upper rear (or upper back) of the covering portion, in the area where the user's hips rest, in the entire upper region of the covering portion.
[0157] Furthermore, the pelvic airbag 300 can be of a predetermined size in the front and back and can be segmented.
[0158] Furthermore, one end of the pelvic airbag 300 protrudes further forward than one end of the gluteal airbag 400, and the other end protrudes further backward than the other end of the gluteal airbag 400, giving the pelvic airbag 300 a protruding shape along the length of the gluteal airbag 400. More preferably, the pelvic airbag 300 can be configured to surround the entire length of the gluteal airbag 400. For this purpose, the pelvic airbag 300 can have a predetermined size in both the front and rear and be segmented.
[0159] More specifically, the pelvic airbag 300 may include: a rear pelvic airbag 302 located on both sides of the seat portion 220, in other words, located on both sides of the rear of the seating surface; and a front pelvic airbag 304 located adjacent to the rear pelvic airbag 302 on both sides of the front of the seat portion 220, in other words, located on both sides of the front of the seating surface.
[0160] Here, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 is located behind the user's pelvis, and Figure 5B As shown, it is configured to apply stimulation to the pelvis (e.g., the posterior part of the pelvis or the posterior side of the pelvis) and the lateral part of the thigh (e.g., the upper lateral part of the thigh) when it expands by injecting air.
[0161] In addition, since the posterior pelvic airbag 302 can stimulate the lower side of the thigh through the expansion of the gluteal airbag 400, it interacts with the gluteal airbag 400 and can evenly stimulate the upper and lower side of the thigh when it is inflated by injecting air.
[0162] like Figure 11A As shown, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 may include a relatively larger number of airbags 302a compared to the number of airbags 304a included in the anterior pelvic airbag 304.
[0163] Specifically, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 may include two or more airbags 302a, and the anterior pelvic airbag 304 may include a smaller number of airbags 304a than the posterior pelvic airbag 302.
[0164] Therefore, the number of air sacs 302a included in the posterior pelvic air sac 302 and the number of air sacs 304a included in the anterior pelvic air sac 304 are different, so that when inflated by injecting air, different stimuli can be applied to the pelvis and thigh from the front and back, taking into account the body characteristics.
[0165] In other words, such as Figure 11B As shown, in order to provide stimulation to the front portion of the thighs when inflated by air injection, the anterior pelvic airbag 304 may include three airbags 304a, and in order to provide stimulation to the posterior portion of the pelvis including the upper part of the thighs when inflated by air injection, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 may include four airbags 302a.
[0166] In this embodiment, it is described that the number of airbags 302a included inside the posterior pelvic airbag 302 is set to four, and the number of airbags 304a included inside the anterior pelvic airbag 304 is set to three, but this only corresponds to one embodiment and is not definitive.
[0167] For example, it is described that the number of airbags 302a included inside the posterior pelvic airbag 302 is set to five, and the number of airbags 304a included inside the anterior pelvic airbag 304 is set to four, etc. The number of airbags 302a and airbags 304a can be selectively set as needed.
[0168] Preferably, the inflation can be controlled such that the air bladder 302a included inside the posterior pelvic air bladder 302 and the air bladder 304a included inside the anterior pelvic air bladder 304 inflate simultaneously (see reference). Figure 11B This allows for simultaneous pressure on the front and back of the user's pelvis from the side, effectively stimulating the pelvis.
[0169] In this embodiment, it is described that the airbag 302a included inside the posterior pelvic airbag 302 and the airbag 304a included inside the anterior pelvic airbag 304 are inflated simultaneously, but this corresponds to only one embodiment and is not definitive.
[0170] For example, it is possible to control the inflation of the airbag 302a contained within the posterior pelvic airbag 302 and the airbag 304a contained within the anterior pelvic airbag 304 simultaneously, but the inflation volume can be adjusted by regulating the amount of air injected, taking into account the user's physical characteristics.
[0171] Furthermore, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 and the anterior pelvic airbag 304 can inflate and contract independently of each other. For example, as described above, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 and the anterior pelvic airbag 304 can inflate simultaneously, alternately, or only one pelvic airbag can inflate.
[0172] In addition, such as Figure 10 As shown, compared to the anterior pelvic airbag 304, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 can be extended to have a relatively high height, in other words, a relatively wide area.
[0173] The reason for doing this is, as follows: Figure 12 As shown, the front end of the anterior pelvic airbag 304 is positioned relatively forward compared to the front end of the posterior hip airbag 400, and the rear end of the posterior pelvic airbag 302 is positioned relatively rear compared to the rear end of the posterior hip airbag 400. Therefore, when inflated by injecting air, the anterior pelvic airbag 304 applies pressure to the user's thighs while the posterior pelvic airbag 302, which has a relatively higher height (wider area) than the anterior airbag 304, effectively stimulates the pelvic region in the vertical direction.
[0174] On the other hand, the rear pelvic airbag 302 and the front pelvic airbag 304 that constitute the pelvic airbag 300 are formed on their inner sides and inflated based on the air flowing in through the air hose, with the outer side of the seat portion 220 as a reference.
[0175] Therefore, when the posterior pelvic airbag 302 and the anterior pelvic airbag 304 inflate by injecting air, they can stimulate the user's pelvis, front and back thighs in a direction from the outside to the inside.
[0176] like Figure 6A and Figure 6B As shown, the massage device 1000 may include a plate, a shape-retaining member 330, and an air hose (not shown). The plate includes airbag fastening portions 310 located on both sides of the seat portion 220 (e.g., upper frame 1111) and fastened to the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302, and a frame fastening portion 320 located between the airbag fastening portion 310 and the upper frame 1111.
[0177] Here, the airbag fastening part 310 is fastened to the pelvic airbag 300 to fix the position of the pelvic airbag 300. The airbag fastening part 310 extends a predetermined length in the width direction and is configured such that the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 are located on one of its surfaces.
[0178] The airbag fastening part 310 may include an insertion hole 312 and a fixing part 314.
[0179] Insertion holes 312 pass through the airbag fastening portions 310 and are spaced apart to form a pair. Air hoses extending to a predetermined length and passing through the inlet hole 322 of the frame fastening portion 320 (for fixing the position of the air hoses) are fluidly connected to the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302, located on one surface of the airbag fastening portion 310, respectively. However, the air hoses may not pass through the inlet hole 322 of the frame fastening portion 320 but instead pass directly through the insertion holes 312 of the airbag fastening portion 310 and connect to the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302, respectively.
[0180] Thus, the air hose can be configured to pass through the insertion hole 312 and the inlet hole 322. Although not shown in the figure, with the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 fluidly connected to the air hose connected to the solenoid valve, when the solenoid valve is opened while the air hose is in a fixed position, air is injected into the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302, which can achieve expansion for stimulation.
[0181] More preferably, as described above, the structure of injecting air into the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 according to the opening of the solenoid valve corresponds only to a certain embodiment and is not fixed. As an example, the air hoses connected to the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 are implemented to always be in an open state, or are also implemented to simply connect the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 to the connecting members for air inflow and air outflow via the air hoses. If the air hoses are implemented as the connecting members described above, a valve can be provided separately between each air hose and the air pump.
[0182] The fixing part 314 is disposed adjacent to the insertion hole 312 and is formed as a through airbag fastening part 310.
[0183] More preferably, the fixing part 314 can be disposed adjacent to a pair of insertion holes 312, and can be configured as a pair and arranged side by side.
[0184] For example, with the air hose passing through the insertion hole 312 and connected to the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302, a fastening member (not shown) passes through the fixing part 314 on one surface of the airbag fastening part 310 and is fastened to the other surface of the airbag fastening part 310. Thus, the fixing part 314 can constrain the air hose located on one surface of the airbag fastening part 310 by the fastening member (not shown), thereby fixing the position of the air hose on the airbag fastening part 310.
[0185] More preferably, the fastening component (not shown) may be made of wire, cable tie, cable ties, Velcro strap or tape.
[0186] The frame fastening part 320 supports the pelvic airbag 300 and the airbag fastening part 310. One end of the frame fastening part 320 is connected to the airbag fastening part 310 and the other end is connected to the upper frame 1111, thereby serving as the intermediate fastening part connecting the pelvic airbag 300 and / or the airbag fastening part 310 and the upper frame 1111.
[0187] like Figure 6B As shown, the frame fastening part 320 is integrally formed by bending from the airbag fastening part 310 and is located between the airbag fastening part 310 and the seat frame (or upper frame 1111) that constitutes the seat part 220. In other words, it is located between the airbag fastening part 310 and the side plate 111a provided on the seat frame (or upper frame 1111) and is joined in such a way that it has a predetermined inclination towards the inward side, so that the airbag fastening part 310 is configured to be inclined upward towards the inward side from the side plate 111a.
[0188] With the inclined configuration structure of the frame fastening part 320, the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302, which are combined with the airbag fastening part 310, are configured in the direction of introduction toward the user's pelvis, thus effectively achieving pelvic compression and the resulting stimulation.
[0189] Furthermore, although not shown in the figure, the air hose forms a channel for airflow and an air injection channel. As described above, when the solenoid valve is opened, air flows and is injected into the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302.
[0190] The shape-retaining member 330 is a member used to maintain the shape of the pelvic airbag 300, and can be fixed and fastened to the airbag fastening part 310 using cable ties or the like.
[0191] Additionally, the shape-retaining member 330 can be made of polyethylene (PE) material, and as... Figure 9A and Figure 9B As shown, compared to the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302, it can be formed to have a relatively higher and longer height and length. Therefore, the shape-retaining member 330 is configured to integrally surround the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 to maintain the shape of the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302, and can be fixed to the upper frame 1111 by the airbag fastener 310. In addition, when the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 are inflated, the shape-retaining member 330 can perform the function of a support.
[0192] On the other hand, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the hip airbag 400 is located on the upper side of the seat (or seat cushion), and one end of it is formed to be fixed to the cover that constitutes the seat cushion.
[0193] like Figure 9A and Figure 9B As shown, the lower ends of the hip airbag 400 and the pelvic airbag 300 partially overlap so that when the hip airbag 400 inflates by injecting air, it can interact with the pelvic airbag 300 to provide stimulation, and are spaced apart from the movement path of the massage module 100, which moves along the main frame 1110 of the massage device 100, and are arranged on both sides of the seating surface.
[0194] Specifically, the buttock airbags 400 are respectively positioned on the movement path of the massage module 100 at locations made of material that do not obstruct external forces from the massage module 100 while having a shape less affected by external forces from the massage module 100, namely, at the left and right positions of the seat cushion spaced apart from the center.
[0195] More specifically, typically, the center of the seat portion 220 through which the massage module 100 passes is made of a first material (e.g., an elastic material such as a tight-fitting elastic pant) to increase the user's sitting comfort and effectively transmit the massage from the massage module 100 to the user, and the side portions are made of a second material (e.g., an outer material such as polyurethane (PU) and / or leather) that is not easily damaged by friction with other materials. Here, the hip airbags 400 are respectively disposed at the positions made of the second material, in other words, at the left and right positions of the seat surface.
[0196] Because the gluteal airbag 400 is formed to partially overlap with the lower end of the pelvic airbag 300 (see reference). Figure 9A and Figure 9B Therefore, it can be configured to maintain its performance during inflation and minimize interference with the pelvic airbag 300 by a predetermined size.
[0197] Additionally, the hip airbag 400 may include a plurality of symmetrically arranged airbags 410a and 420a, and the plurality of airbags 410a and 420a may be configured such that their adjacent ends at the seating surface are fixed (see reference). Figure 9A ).
[0198] The hip airbag 400 can be configured as one or more in the left and right positions, such as... Figure 9B As shown, it can be configured such that when it expands by the inflow of air, it expands at one end fixed to the seat portion 220, while the other end expands.
[0199] The buttock airbag 400 has an airbag 410a at one end and an airbag 420a at the other end, which are integrally formed and arranged to overlap each other. So that when it is inflated by injecting air, the remaining area can be inflated with one end as a reference and apply effective stimulation to the lower part of the user's thigh side.
[0200] The hip airbag 400 and pelvic airbag 300 interact and can provide overall stimulation to the lower side of the thigh.
[0201] That is, such as Figure 7 As shown, the gluteal airbag 400 is configured to stimulate the lower side of the thigh when it expands by injecting air. At the same time, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 is configured to expand simultaneously with the gluteal airbag 400 by injecting air and stimulate the upper side of the thigh, including the pelvis. Thus, the gluteal airbag 400 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 can interact and evenly stimulate the upper and lower sides of the thigh.
[0202] In the case of the hip airbag 400, compared with the rear end of the hip airbag 400 adjacent to the backrest 210, the front end of the hip airbag 400 away from the backrest 210 is configured to have a relatively curved shape.
[0203] More specifically, since the front end of the hip airbag 400 is configured in an inverted triangular shape, the front end of the hip airbag 400 may not be able to effectively stimulate the lower side of the thigh. Therefore, the anterior pelvic airbag 304 is configured to protrude forward by a predetermined length L compared to the hip airbag 400 in the longitudinal direction. This not only provides a wide range of stimulation to the front sides of the user's thigh, but also, through the anterior pelvic airbag 304 configured as described above, stimulates areas that cannot be effectively stimulated at the front end of the hip airbag 400.
[0204] At this point, as described above, compared to the posterior pelvic airbag 302, the anterior pelvic airbag 304 is formed with a relatively high height and a relatively large area, thereby effectively stimulating the anterior end of the gluteal airbag 400.
[0205] Figure 13 This is a block diagram illustrating the function of the control unit of the pelvic mode control device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0206] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5A and Figure 13 The control unit 1400 can control the airbags 300 and 400, the massage module 100, and the angle adjustment unit 500, which are components of the massage device 1000. The airbags 300 and 400 may include a pelvic airbag 300 and a hip airbag 400.
[0207] The pelvic airbag 300 can massage the pelvis by applying pressure. Specifically, the pelvic airbag 300 can fix or rotate the user's pelvis by applying pressure to the sides and / or upper sides of the pelvis. When the pelvic airbag 300 inflates symmetrically, the user's pelvis can be fixed, and when the pelvic airbag 300 inflates asymmetrically, the user's pelvis can be rotated in a specific direction. The control unit 1400 can cause the pelvic airbags 300, which are arranged on both sides based on the user's seating position or the position of the seat 220, to operate asymmetrically, thereby performing the function of correcting the user's deformed pelvis by rotating the user's pelvis. The seat 220 is the object on which the user sits. Based on the user's seating position, the user's right side is defined as one side of the seat 220, and the user's left side is defined as the other side of the seat 220.
[0208] The pelvic airbag 300 may include a first pelvic airbag 300a and a second pelvic airbag 300b. The first pelvic airbag 300a may be positioned on one side based on the position of the seat portion 220 where the user is seated, and the second pelvic airbag 300b may be positioned on the other side based on the position of the seat portion 220 where the user is seated. In other words, the pelvic airbag 300 may include a plurality of first pelvic airbags 300a provided on one side based on the seat portion 220 and a plurality of second pelvic airbags 300b provided on the opposite side based on the seat portion 220, so as to massage the user's pelvis. The first pelvic airbag 300a may include a first rear pelvic airbag 302a positioned behind one side of the seat portion 220 and a first front pelvic airbag 304a positioned in front of one side of the seat portion 220. The second pelvic airbag 300b may include a second rear pelvic airbag 302b disposed behind one side of the seat portion 220 and a second front pelvic airbag 304b disposed in front of one side of the seat portion 220. Based on the seat portion 200 or the user's seated position, the first rear pelvic airbag 302b and the second front pelvic airbag 304b may be arranged diagonally. Based on the seat portion 200 or the user's seated position, the second rear pelvic airbag 302b and the first front pelvic airbag 304a may be arranged diagonally.
[0209] The hip airbag 400 can elevate the user's hips away from the seat 220. The hip airbag 400 may include a first hip airbag 400a disposed on one side based on the seat 220 or the user's seated position, and a second hip airbag 400b disposed on the other side based on the seat 220 or the user's seated position. When the first hip airbag 400a and the second hip airbag 400b inflate, the user's hips can be aligned with the center of the seat 220. In other words, the hip airbag 400 can perform the function of aligning the user's hips with the center of the seat 220.
[0210] The massage module 100 can massage at least one of the user's neck, shoulders, back, waist, and hips by patting or kneading it while moving along the direction from the user's neck toward the user's buttocks.
[0211] The angle adjustment unit 500 may include at least one actuator for adjusting the angle of the massage device 1000. The angle adjustment unit 500 may include a back angle actuator for adjusting the angle of the portion of the massage device 1000 that contacts the user's back and an actuator for adjusting the angle of the leg massage portion that massages the user's legs.
[0212] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 1400 can perform at least one of the following on the user's pelvis: correction, rotation (or movement) and massage via a pelvic mode comprising at least one of a plurality of modes (or a combination of at least one mode).
[0213] For example, the control unit 1400 can execute a pelvic mode to correct and move the user's pelvis and massage the user's pelvis. Specifically, the control unit 1400 can activate either of the first hip airbags 400a or 400b and the second hip airbags 400b, and either of the first rear pelvic airbags 302a or 302b and the second rear pelvic airbags 302a or 302b, which are positioned opposite to the position of either hip airbag 400a or 400b based on the position of the seat portion 220. That is, in order to asymmetrically press the user's pelvis, a pelvic mode is executed to activate (or inflate) the airbags to press the user's pelvis, thereby correcting and moving the user's pelvis and massaging the user's pelvis.
[0214] The pelvic pattern will be explained in detail below.
[0215] The control unit 1400 can perform correction, rotation, and massage on the user's pelvis using a pelvic mode composed of multiple modes. The pelvic mode can include a mode that applies pressure to the user's pelvis via pelvic airbags 300 and hip airbags 400. For example, the pelvic mode can refer to a massage mode that sequentially executes an initiation mode, a lower limb massage mode, a cycle mode, a first mode, a second mode, a third mode, a cycle mode, and a recovery mode. However, the pelvic mode must include at least one of the first, second, and third modes, but may optionally include the remaining modes. During the inflation of a specific airbag, the remaining airbags may contract or remain in a contracted state. Therefore, when a specific airbag below is activated or inflated, airbags that are not activated or inflated may contract or remain in a contracted state.
[0216] The control unit 1400 can execute a pelvic mode that activates either the first hip airbag 400a or 400b of the first hip airbag 400a and the second hip airbag 400b, as well as the rear pelvic airbag 302a or 302b located in a position opposite to the location of either hip airbag 400a or 400b. The control unit 1400 can asymmetrically activate the pelvic airbags 300 and hip airbags 400, which are positioned on one side and the other side based on the user's seating position or the position of the seat portion 220. Specifically, the control unit 1400 can activate either the rear pelvic airbag 302a or 302b of the first rear pelvic airbag 300 and the second rear pelvic airbag 302b, which are positioned rearward based on the position of the seat portion 220, as well as either the first hip airbag 400a or the second hip airbag 400b. At this time, any rear pelvic airbag 302a or 302b and any hip airbag 400a or 400b are located in opposite directions relative to the position of the seat portion 220. For example, any rear pelvic airbag 302a or 302b located on one side of the seat portion 220 and any rear pelvic airbag 302a or 302b located on the other side of the seat portion 220 can operate simultaneously.
[0217] As an example, the pelvic mode may include a primary action that actuates either the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a or 302b, or either the first posterior pelvic airbag 400a or 400b, or either the first posterior pelvic airbag 400a or 400b. The primary action may include a first primary action that actuates the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 402b, and a second primary action that actuates the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b and the first posterior pelvic airbag 400a. The first and second primary actions may be performed sequentially. In other words, the main action may include a first main action that activates the first rear pelvic airbag 302a of the pelvic airbags 302a and 304a located on one side with reference to the position of the seat 220, and the second hip airbag 400b of the hip airbags 400a and 400b located on the opposite side, and a second main action that activates the second rear pelvic airbag 302b of the pelvic airbags 302b and 304b located on the other side and the first hip airbag 400a located on one side.
[0218] As an example, the pelvic mode may include a primary action that causes any one of the following airbags to move: the first hip airbag 400a, the second hip airbag 400b, the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a or 304b, and the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a or 302b. In this case, the anterior pelvic airbag 304a or 304b and the posterior pelvic airbag 302a or 302b are arranged diagonally with respect to the seat portion 220. The main actions may include a third main action that simultaneously activates the hip airbags 400a and 400b and activates the first rear pelvic airbag 302a and the second front pelvic airbag 304b, which are positioned in the first diagonal direction based on the seat portion 220; and a fourth main action that simultaneously activates the hip airbags 400a and 400b and activates the second rear pelvic airbag 302b and the first front pelvic airbag 304a, which are positioned in the second diagonal direction opposite to the first diagonal direction based on the seat portion 220.
[0219] The pelvic mode may include sub-actions that activate at least the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the gluteal airbag 400 at at least one time point before and after the execution of the main action. The sub-actions may include at least one of the following: a first sub-action that activates all of the first anterior pelvic airbags 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a, the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b, and the gluteal airbag 400; and a second sub-action that activates all of the first anterior pelvic airbags 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the gluteal airbag 400 except for the first posterior pelvic airbags 302a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b. Each of the first, second, and third modes constituting the pelvic mode may include at least one of the first and second sub-actions. During the execution of the second sub-action, the control unit 1400 may move the massage module 100 in a forward direction toward the user to apply pressure to the user's lower back or buttocks. Specifically, the massage module 100 can apply pressure to the user's lower back during the second sub-action. For example, the first mode can perform the first sub-action at least once. For example, each of the second and third modes can perform the second sub-action at least once, and preferably, the last action performed in each of the second and third modes can be the second sub-action.
[0220] During the execution of the pelvic mode, the massage module 100 can continuously operate. When the pelvic mode is in the activation mode, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure to the user's neck to waist or by kneading the user's neck to waist while applying pressure. When the pelvic mode is in the lower limb massage mode, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure to the user's neck to waist. When the pelvic mode is in the cycle mode, the massage module 100 can operate by kneading the user's waist and buttocks. When the pelvic mode is in the first mode, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure to the user's waist or by kneading the user's waist while applying pressure. When the pelvic mode is in the second mode, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure to the user's buttocks. When the pelvic mode is in the third mode, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure to the user's waist or by kneading the user's waist while applying pressure. However, the massage module 100 can also operate in the opposite direction to the rotation direction it would use in the first mode to knead the user's waist. When the pelvic mode is in recovery mode, the massage module 100 can apply pressure to the user's hips and neck or knead the user's hips and neck while applying pressure. However, the way the massage module 100 performs its actions in pelvic mode can be changed in various ways.
[0221] The control unit 1400 can change the angle of the user's back and legs via the angle adjustment unit 500. The control unit 1400 can control the airbags 300 and 400 and the massage module 100 to execute a pelvic mode in the state changed by the angle adjustment unit 500. That is, a pelvic mode can be executed for each different angle set by the angle adjustment unit 500.
[0222] For example, executing the pelvic mode may take approximately 10 minutes. After one cycle of executing the pelvic mode, the control unit 1400 can control the angle adjustment unit 500 to change the angle of the user's back or legs. After changing the angle of the user's back or legs, the control unit 1400 can control the airbags 300 and 400 to execute the pelvic mode again. Preferably, the control unit 1400 can repeatedly execute the pelvic mode while adjusting the angle of the user's back or legs in three levels.
[0223] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the airbags 300 and 400 operate to rotate or move the user's pelvis in a specific direction, the user's pelvis can be orthopedic or corrected.
[0224] According to embodiments of this invention, a pelvic airbag capable of moving or rotating the user's pelvis in a specific direction can alleviate pain caused by changes and injuries to the sacroiliac joint and pubic symphysis due to childbirth, lower back and pelvic pain caused by incorrect posture, and various symptoms caused by pelvic and other spinal deformities. Specifically, embodiments of this invention may relate to a mode for massaging the user's pelvis to alleviate various symptoms caused by pelvic imbalance due to postpartum discomfort, unstable posture, and incorrect lifestyle, or to prevent disease. Postpartum, pain may occur due to changes or injuries to the sacroiliac joint and pubic symphysis. In particular, pain may occur in the sacroiliac joint area, possibly accompanied by radiating pain to the lower back, hip joint, posterior thigh, anterior pubic symphysis, or below the knee. Additionally, pain may be caused by muscle tension or weakness due to prolonged sitting and incorrect posture, and various symptoms may be caused by pelvic and other spinal deformities (torsions) due to tension or weakness of muscles such as the erector spinae, iliopsoas, and piriformis. Generally, symptoms can be relieved by using rest, medication, manual therapy, or posture correction with compression bands, but the massage mode of this utility model can relieve pain and correct the pelvic area of the user.
[0225] Figure 14 This is a diagram illustrating a massage device that performs a first or second main action in a pelvic mode, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0226] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 The control unit 1400 can control the first pelvic airbag 300a, the second pelvic airbag 300b, and the hip airbags 400a and 400b to perform a first main action or a second main action. For example, the first main action or the second main action can be performed in the first, second, and third modes of the pelvic mode. The control unit 1400 can cause any one of the first posterior pelvic airbags 302a or 302b and the first hip airbag 400a or 400b to move. Only one side of the user's hips can be raised through the first main action or the second main action. When either the posterior pelvic airbag 302a or 302b located on the opposite side of the raised user's hips inflates, the user's pelvis can be subjected to a downward pressing force. As a result, the user's pelvis can rotate about an axis facing forward. In other words, the user's pelvis can rotate in the rolling direction. By raising the user's hips with either hip airbag 400a or 400b, while forcefully pressing down on the user's pelvis with either posterior pelvic airbag 302a or 302b, the user's pelvic balance can be corrected.
[0227] As an example, during the first main action, the control unit 1400 can activate the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a and the second hip airbag 400b. At this time, the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b and the first hip airbag 400a can be contracted or are in a contracted state. When the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a and the second hip airbag 400b inflate, the user's pelvis can rotate from the second hip airbag 400b toward the first hip airbag 400a.
[0228] As an example, during the first main action, the control unit 1400 can activate the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b and the first hip airbag 400a. At this time, the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a and the second hip airbag 400b can be contracted or in a contracted state. When the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b and the first hip airbag 400a inflate, the user's pelvis can rotate from the first hip airbag 400a toward the second hip airbag 400b.
[0229] According to an embodiment of this utility model, the control unit 1400 can activate any hip airbag 400a or 400b and any posterior pelvic airbag 302a or 302b to sequentially execute a first main action and a second main action. That is, when any hip airbag 400a or 400b inflates to raise the position of one side of the user's hip, when the posterior pelvic airbag 302a or 302b, located at the opposite position to the hip airbag 400a or 400b, inflates, the user's pelvis rotates in the tumbling direction. Rotation in the tumbling direction can mean rotation about the user's forward direction. When any hip airbag 400a or 400b causes the user's pelvis to rotate in the tumbling direction and any posterior pelvic airbag 302a or 302b fixes the user's pelvis, the vertical balance of the pelvis can be corrected.
[0230] Figure 15 This is a diagram of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, illustrating the third or fourth main action of performing a pelvic mode.
[0231] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 15The control unit 1400 can control the first pelvic airbag 300a, the second pelvic airbag 300b, and the hip airbags 400a and 400b to perform a third or fourth primary action. For example, the third or fourth primary action can be performed in the third mode of the pelvic mode. The control unit 1400 can activate any one of the following: the first hip airbag 400a, the second hip airbag 400b, the first front pelvic airbag 304a or the second front pelvic airbag 304b, and any one of the following: the first rear pelvic airbag 302a or the second rear pelvic airbag 302b. When both the first hip airbag 400a and the second hip airbag 400b are activated, the user's pelvis can be aligned with the center of the seat 220. With the user's pelvis aligned, when either the front pelvic airbag 304a or 304b and either the rear pelvic airbag 302a or 302b positioned diagonally are activated, the user's pelvis can rotate in a yaw direction. Rotation in a yaw direction can mean rotating with a reference to a direction perpendicular to the user's forward and left-right directions while seated on the seat 220. Simply put, rotation about the upper part of the seat 220 as an axis can be represented as rotation in a yaw direction. Rotating the user's pelvis with the hips fixed can correct any pelvic deformities.
[0232] As an example, during the third main action, the control unit 1400 can activate the hip airbags 400a and 400b while simultaneously activating the first rear pelvic airbag 302a and the second front pelvic airbag 304b, which are positioned diagonally opposite the seat 220. The second rear pelvic airbag 302b and the first front pelvic airbag 304a can contract or remain contracted. The user's hips can be aligned with the center of the seat 220 by the hip airbags 400a and 400b, and when the first rear pelvic airbag 302a and the second front pelvic airbag 304b are activated, the user's pelvis can rotate counterclockwise relative to the user's forward direction.
[0233] As an example, during the fourth main action, the control unit 1400 can activate the hip airbags 400a and 400b while simultaneously activating the second rear pelvic airbag 302b and the first front pelvic airbag 304a, which are positioned diagonally opposite to the seat 220. The first rear pelvic airbag 302a and the second front pelvic airbag 304b can contract or remain contracted. When the user's hips are aligned with the center of the seat 220 by the hip airbags 400a and 400b and the second rear pelvic airbag 302b and the first front pelvic airbag 304a are activated, the user's pelvis can rotate clockwise with respect to the user's forward direction.
[0234] According to an embodiment of this utility model, the control unit 1400 can control the first pelvic airbag 300a, the second pelvic airbag 300b, and the hip airbags 400a and 400b to sequentially execute the third and fourth main actions. When the user's pelvis rotates clockwise and counterclockwise with the hip airbags 400a and 400b aligned with the center of the seat 220, the balance of the deformed user pelvis can be corrected.
[0235] Figure 16 This is a diagram of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, illustrating the execution of a first sub-action of a pelvic pattern.
[0236] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 16 The control unit 1400 can control the first pelvic airbag 300a and the second pelvic airbag 300b to execute a first sub-action. For example, the first sub-action can be executed in the first, second, and third modes of the pelvic mode, but is not particularly limited. The control unit 1400 can activate all of the first front pelvic airbag 304a, the second front pelvic airbag 304b, the first rear pelvic airbag 302a, the second rear pelvic airbag 302b, and the hip airbag 400. When the hip airbag 400 is activated, the user's hips can be aligned with the center of the seat 220, and when the first front pelvic airbag 304a, the second front pelvic airbag 304b, the first rear pelvic airbag 302a, and the second rear pelvic airbag 302b are all activated, they can forcefully press against the user's pelvis, which is opening to both sides. Even in individuals of relatively small stature, when the user's buttocks are raised via the hip airbag 400, the first front pelvic airbag 304a, the second front pelvic airbag 304b, the first rear pelvic airbag 302a, and the second rear pelvic airbag 302b activate, applying appropriate pressure to the user's pelvis. Furthermore, when the user's buttocks are raised via the hip airbag 400, both pelvic airbags 302 and 304 inflate, applying strong pressure to the user's pelvis and correcting any opening, thereby positioning the user's pelvis in the center of the seat portion 220.
[0237] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when airbags 300a, 300b, and 400 press evenly on the user's pelvis from all directions, they correct the opening of the user's pelvis and properly align any unbalanced pelvis.
[0238] Figure 17 This is a diagram of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, illustrating the execution of a second sub-action of a pelvic pattern.
[0239] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 17The control unit 1400 can control the first pelvic airbag 300a and the second pelvic airbag 300b to execute a second sub-action. For example, the second sub-action can be executed in the second and third modes of the pelvic mode, but is not particularly limited. The control unit 1400 can activate the first front pelvic airbag 304a, the second front pelvic airbag 304b, and the hip airbag 400. The first rear pelvic airbag 302a and the second rear pelvic airbag 302b can be contracted or in a contracted state. When the hip airbag 400 is activated, the user's buttocks can be aligned with the center of the seat 220, and when the first front pelvic airbags 304a and the second front pelvic airbags 304b are activated, the user's pelvis can be in a hip joint hinge state. At this time, the massage module 100 can protrude towards the user's waist or buttocks in a forward direction based on the user's seated position. When the massage module 100 can push the user's waist forward and the first front pelvic airbag 304a and the second front pelvic airbag 304b press on the user's pelvis and upper thigh, the user can rotate in the tilting direction.
[0240] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the first front pelvic airbag 304a and the second front pelvic airbag 304b move while the massage module 100 applies pressure to the user's waist or buttocks, the user's pelvis can extend, and the pelvis can be corrected in the anterior-posterior direction through the process of the user's pelvic extension.

After a preset time has elapsed, the control unit 1400 can expel the air injected into the second rear pelvic airbag 302b and the first hip airbag 400a (step S240).
[0254] The control unit 1400 can execute steps 2-5, including the second sub-action. The control unit 1400 can activate the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the gluteal airbags 400a and 400b within a preset time to execute the second sub-action.

[0255] Unlike the example above, a second pattern can be determined such that the second main action is executed first, followed by the first main action.
[0256] Figure 20 This is a sequence diagram illustrating the third mode in the pelvic pattern according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0257] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 20 The third mode can mean a mode in which the first main action, the third main action, the fourth main action, the second main action, and the second sub-action are executed sequentially. The third mode can include main actions that simultaneously activate the first hip airbag 400a, the second hip airbag 400b, and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b, or simultaneously activate the first hip airbag 400a, the second hip airbag 400b, and the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a. That is, the third mode can include main actions where both hip airbags 400a and 400b activate while the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b alternately activate.
[0258] The control unit 1400 can execute step 3-1, which includes the first main action.

At this time, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure or kneading the user's waist. However, the massage module 100 can also knead the user's waist while rotating in the opposite direction to the direction of operation in the first mode. After a preset time, the control unit 1400 can expel the air injected into the first rear pelvic airbag 302a and the second hip airbag 400b (step S310).
[0259] The control unit 1400 can execute step 3-2, which includes the third main action. The control unit 1400 can activate the first hip airbag 400a, the second hip airbag 400b, the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a, and the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b within a preset time to execute the third main action. The hip airbags 400a and 400b, the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a, and the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b can activate simultaneously. The second posterior pelvic airbag 302b and the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a can remain in a contracted state. At this time, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure to the user's waist or kneading the user's waist in the opposite direction. After a preset time has elapsed, the control unit 1400 can expel the air injected into the hip airbags 400a and 400b, the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a, and the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b (step S320).
[0260] The control unit 1400 can execute step 3-3, which includes the fourth main action.

The first posterior pelvic airbag 302a and the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b can remain in a contracted state. At this time, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure to the user's waist or kneading the user's waist in the opposite direction. After a preset time has elapsed, the control unit 1400 can expel the air injected into the hip airbags 400a, 400b, the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b, and the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a (step S330).
[0261] The control unit 1400 can execute steps 3-4, including the second main action. The control unit 1400 can activate the second rear pelvic airbag 302b and the first hip airbag 400a within a preset time to execute the second main action. The second rear pelvic airbag 302b and the first hip airbag 400a can activate simultaneously. The first front pelvic airbag 304a, the first rear pelvic airbag 302a, the second front pelvic airbag 304b, and the second hip airbag 400b can remain in a contracted state. At this time, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure to the user's lower back. After a preset time, the control unit 1400 can expel the air injected into the second rear pelvic airbag 302b and the first hip airbag 400a (step S340).
[0262] The control unit 1400 can execute steps 3-5, including the second sub-action. The control unit 1400 can activate the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the gluteal airbags 400a and 400b within a preset time to execute the second sub-action. The first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the gluteal airbag 400 can activate simultaneously. The first posterior pelvic airbag 302a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b can remain in a contracted state. At this time, the massage module 100 can activate by applying pressure to the user's lower back. The massage module 100 can apply pressure to the user's lower back in the forward direction. After a preset time, the control unit 1400 can expel the air injected into the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the gluteal airbag 400 (step S350).
[0263] According to an embodiment of this invention, when the first, third, fourth, and second main actions are executed sequentially, the user's pelvis can rotate along the tumbling and yaw directions. By rotating the user's pelvis along the tumbling and yaw directions, imbalances and distortions in the user's pelvis can be corrected.
[0264] Figure 21 This is a sequence diagram illustrating the control sequence of the pelvic mode of the massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0265] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 21When the control unit 1400 activates the pelvic mode, the activation mode can be executed first. The activation mode can mean performing a gentle massage, primarily targeting the user's upper body, before performing concentrated pelvic correction. Depending on the activation mode, the process of simultaneously expanding and contracting all airbags 300a, 300b, and 400 can be repeated. The massage module 100 can apply pressure or knead the user's upper body, including the area from the neck to the waist. In the activation mode, a gentle massage can be performed on the erector spinae muscles, which form the center of the user's body, including the waist and pelvis. Therefore, in the activation mode, the control unit 1400 can simultaneously expand and contract all airbags 300a, 300b, and 400 to massage the user's pelvis. By providing the user with an activation mode that gently massages the area around the erector spinae muscles, which form the center of the body, the massage device 1000 can achieve indirect spinal alignment correction and upper body relaxation effects for deformed pelvic structures (step S1000).
[0266] The lower limb massage mode can be executed after the activation mode. The lower limb massage mode can mean a mode of gentle massage primarily targeting the user's pelvis, waist, and lower body before concentrated pelvic correction is performed. The control unit 1400 can sequentially activate the pelvic airbags 300a, 300b and the hip airbag 400. For example, the control unit 1400 can activate the pelvic airbags 300a, 300b while not activating the hip airbag 400, and vice versa. The massage module 100 can apply pressure to the user's upper body, including the area from the neck to the waist. In the lower limb massage mode, when the pelvic airbags 300a, 300b and the hip airbag 400 activate sequentially, a gentle massage of the user's pelvis and thighs can be performed. Thus, after the massage device 1000 relaxes the muscles of the user's upper body (e.g., erector spinae muscles), it provides a massage to the user's lower body (e.g., waist, hips, pelvis, etc.) as the target of correction through the massage module 100 and sequentially through the airbags of the pelvic airbag 300 and the hip airbag 400, thereby achieving the effect of relaxing the lower body and surrounding muscles as the target of correction (step S2000).
[0267] A circulation mode can be executed after the lower limb massage mode. The circulation mode can mean a mode that promotes blood circulation around the pelvis by kneading the user's buttocks and lower back before performing focused pelvic correction. The control unit 1400 can control the massage module 100 to massage the user's buttocks and lower back while the pelvic airbags 300a, 300b and the buttock airbag 400 move sequentially. The massage module 100 can move by kneading the user's lower back and buttocks. For example, the circulation mode can be executed for approximately 20 seconds. Thus, the massage device 1000 can promote blood circulation through a relaxing effect around the tense pelvis and gentle local stimulation for pelvic correction (step S3000).
[0268] After the loop mode, the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode can be executed sequentially. In the first mode, the second mode, and the third mode, the control unit 1400 can activate any one of the first rear pelvic airbags 302a or 302b and the second rear pelvic airbag 302b, as well as any one of the first hip airbags 400a or 400b positioned opposite to the first rear pelvic airbag 302a or 302b.
[0269] In the first mode, the control unit 1400 can sequentially execute the first sub-action, the first main action, the first sub-action, the second main action, and the second sub-action.
[0270] The control unit 1400 can perform a first sub-action before pelvic correction to position the user's pelvis correctly. The control unit 1400 can activate the first pelvic airbag 300a, the second pelvic airbag 300b, and the hip airbag 400 for approximately 35 seconds to perform the first sub-action. The first pelvic airbag 300a, the second pelvic airbag 300b, and the hip airbag 400 can activate simultaneously. During this time, the massage module 100 can perform actions by kneading or applying pressure to the user's lower back. When the first sub-action is completed, the control unit 1400 can expel the air injected into the first pelvic airbag 300a, the second pelvic airbag 300b, and the hip airbag 400. Through the first sub-action, the massage device 1000 inflates the first pelvic airbag 300a, the second pelvic airbag 300b, and the gluteal airbag 400. This allows for pelvic correction massage via the pelvic airbags and aligns the user's lower body to a suitable (or correct) position for pelvic correction, i.e., the center of the seated area, via the gluteal airbag 400. For example, in the first sub-action, when the gluteal airbag 400 moves together with the first pelvic airbag 300a and the second pelvic airbag 300b, the user's upper body is raised. In individuals with shorter stature, this prevents the pelvic airbags 300a and 300b from failing to provide stimulation to the correct location (e.g., the user's rib area). In summary, the first sub-action aligns the user's position to the correct location and strongly presses the pelvis from both sides, thereby correcting an open pelvis and restoring proper posture.
[0271] After the control unit 1400 corrects the user's posture to the correct position through the first sub-action, it executes a first main action to correct the user's pelvis. The control unit 1400 can activate the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a and the second hip airbag 400b for approximately 35 seconds to execute the first main action. The first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b, and the first hip airbag 400a can remain in a contracted state. At this time, the massage module 100 can perform actions by kneading or applying pressure to the user's waist. When the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a and the second hip airbag 400b, which are positioned in opposite directions relative to the user's pelvic position, inflate, with the left side of the user's hips raised, the right side of the user's pelvis is pressed towards the lower left, thereby causing the user's pelvis to rotate in a rolling direction. Therefore, through the first main action, the right side of the user's pelvis can be pressed forcefully, thereby correcting the imbalance in the vertical direction of the pelvis. When the first main action is completed, the control unit 1400 can release the air injected into the first rear pelvic airbag 302a and the second hip airbag 400b.
[0272] After executing the first main action, the control unit 1400 can execute the first sub-action again to correct the user's posture, which has been disordered by the first main action, to the correct posture. Since the first sub-action is the same as the first sub-action in the first mode described above, a detailed description will be omitted.
[0273] After correcting the user's posture to the correct position by executing the first sub-action, the control unit 1400 can execute a second main action to quickly and accurately correct the user's pelvis. The control unit 1400 can activate the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b and the first hip airbag 400a for approximately 35 seconds to execute the second main action. The first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a, and the second hip airbag 400b can remain in a contracted state. At this time, the massage module 100 can perform actions by kneading or applying pressure to the user's waist. When the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b and the first hip airbag 400a, which are positioned in opposite directions relative to the user's pelvic position, inflate, with the right side of the user's hips raised, the left side of the user's pelvis is pressed towards the lower right side, thereby causing the user's pelvis to rotate in a rolling direction. Therefore, through the second main action, the left side of the user's pelvis can be pressed forcefully, thereby correcting the imbalance in the vertical direction of the pelvis. When the second main action is completed, the control unit 1400 can release the air injected into the second rear pelvic airbag 302b and the first hip airbag 400a.
[0274] After executing the second main action, the control unit 1400 can execute the first sub-action again to correct the user's posture, which has been disrupted by the second main action, back to the correct posture. Since the first sub-action is the same as the first sub-action in the first mode described above, a detailed description will be omitted.
[0275] In the second mode, the control unit 1400 can sequentially execute the first main action, the second main action, the first main action, the second main action, and the second sub-action.
[0276] The control unit 1400 can correct the user's pelvic distortion by executing a first main action. The control unit 1400 can activate the first hip airbag 400a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b for approximately 35 seconds to execute the first main action. The first main action in the second mode is basically the same as the first main action in the first mode, so detailed descriptions will be omitted. However, the first main action in the second mode may differ slightly from the first main action in the first mode. For example, the action of the massage module 100 for the first main action in the second mode may be an acupressure action on the user's hips, which may differ from the action of the massage module 100 for the first main action in the first mode, namely, an acupressure and / or kneading action on the user's waist.
[0277] The control unit 1400 can immediately execute a second primary action to correct the user's pelvis after executing the first primary action. The control unit 1400 can activate the second hip airbag 400b and the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a for approximately 35 seconds to execute the second primary action. The second primary action in the second mode is basically the same as the second primary action in the first mode, so detailed descriptions will be omitted. However, the second primary action in the second mode may differ slightly from the second primary action in the first mode. For example, the action of the massage module 100 for the second primary action in the second mode may be an acupressure action on the user's hips, which may differ from the action of the massage module 100 for the second primary action in the first mode, namely, an acupressure and / or kneading action on the user's waist.
[0278] The control unit 1400 can repeatedly execute the first and second main actions multiple times in the second mode. While rotating the user's pelvis in the rolling direction, pressure is alternately applied to the right and left sides of the pelvis, thereby correcting a twisted pelvis. At this time, as the massage module 100 applies acupressure to the user's buttocks, the gluteal muscles and core area are stimulated along with the pelvis, thus maximizing the pelvic correction effect.
[0279] The control unit 1400 can activate the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the gluteal airbag 400 for approximately 35 seconds to perform a second sub-action. The first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the gluteal airbag 400 can activate simultaneously. The first posterior pelvic airbag 302a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b can remain in a contracted state. At this time, the massage module 100 can move forward toward the user's buttocks and apply pressure to the user's buttocks while moving. When the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a and the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b inflate, the user's pelvis can be fixed in the correct position, and when the gluteal airbag 400 inflates, the user's buttocks can be raised. At this time, the massage module 100 can push the user's buttocks forward, straightening the user's upper body. In summary, by pushing the user's buttocks with the massage module 100, the buttock airbag 400 and the first and second anterior pelvic airbags 304a and 304b inflate, thus stimulating the upper part of the buttocks and extending the user's upper body, thereby correcting the user's posture. When the second sub-action is completed, the control unit 1400 can expel the air injected into the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the buttock airbag 400.
[0280] In the third mode, the control unit 1400 can sequentially execute the first main action, the third main action, the fourth main action, the second main action, and the second sub-action.
[0281] The control unit 1400 can correct the user's pelvic distortion by executing a first main action. The control unit 1400 can activate the first hip airbag 400a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b for approximately 35 seconds to execute the first main action. The first main action in the third mode is basically the same as the first main action in the first mode, so detailed descriptions will be omitted. However, the first main action in the third mode may differ slightly from the first main action in the first mode. For example, the action of the massage module 100 for the first main action in the third mode may be acupressure and / or reverse kneading, which may differ from the action of the massage module 100 for the first main action in the first mode, i.e., acupressure and / or kneading. The massage module 100 may knead or apply pressure to the user's waist while rotating in the opposite direction to the action in the first mode, i.e., rotating in the opposite direction.
[0282] The control unit 1400 can immediately execute a third main action to correct the user's pelvis after performing the first main action. The control unit 1400 can activate the hip airbag 400, the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b for approximately 35 seconds to execute the third main action. The second anterior pelvic airbag 304b and the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a can remain in a contracted state. At this time, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure or kneading the user's waist in the opposite direction. While the hip airbag 400 inflates, the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b, which are arranged diagonally, inflat, thereby causing the user's pelvis to rotate in a yaw direction. When the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b inflate with the hips fixed, a torsional force is applied to the pelvis in the yaw direction, thereby achieving the effect of correcting the balance of the deformed pelvis. When the third main action is completed, the control unit 1400 can release the air injected into the hip airbag 400, the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b.
[0283] The control unit 1400 can immediately execute a fourth main action to correct the user's pelvis after executing the third main action. The control unit 1400 can activate the hip airbag 400, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a for approximately 35 seconds to execute the fourth main action. The first anterior pelvic airbag 304a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b can remain in a contracted state. At this time, the massage module 100 can operate by applying pressure or kneading the user's waist in the opposite direction. While the hip airbag 400 inflates, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b and the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a, which are arranged diagonally, inflate, thereby causing the user's pelvis to rotate in a yaw direction. When the hips are fixed, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b and the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a inflate, applying a torsional force to the pelvis in the yaw direction, thereby achieving the effect of correcting the balance of the deformed pelvis. When the fourth main action is completed, the control unit 1400 can release the air injected into the hip airbag 400, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the first posterior pelvic airbag 302a.
[0284] The control unit 1400 can immediately execute the second main action to correct the user's pelvis after executing the fourth main action. The control unit 1400 can activate the first hip airbag 400a and the second posterior pelvic airbag 302b for approximately 35 seconds to execute the first main action. The first main action in the third mode is basically the same as the first main action in the first mode, so detailed descriptions will be omitted. However, the first main action in the third mode may differ slightly from the first main action in the first mode. For example, the action of the massage module 100 for the first main action in the third mode may be acupressure and / or reverse kneading, which may differ from the action of the massage module 100 for the first main action in the first mode, i.e., acupressure and / or kneading. The massage module 100 may rotate in the opposite direction to the direction of the action in the first mode, while simultaneously kneading or applying pressure to the user's waist.
[0285] The control unit 1400 can perform anteroposterior correction of the user's pelvis by executing a second sub-action. Since the second sub-action in the third mode can be substantially the same as the second sub-action in the second mode, a detailed description will be omitted. However, the second sub-action in the third mode can differ somewhat from the second sub-action in the second mode. For example, the action of the massage module 100 for the second sub-action in the third mode is acupressure and / or reverse kneading motion on the user's lower back, which may differ from the action of the massage module 100 for the second sub-action in the second mode, namely, acupressure on the user's buttocks. While the massage module 100 pushes the user's lower back, the hip airbag 400 inflates and can form a hip hinge that rotates the user's pelvis in the pitch direction. Furthermore, the pressure applied to the pelvic region and lower back by the inflating of the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a and the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b allows for anteroposterior correction of the user's pelvis. When the second sub-action is completed, the control unit 1400 can release the air injected into the first anterior pelvic airbag 304a, the second anterior pelvic airbag 304b, and the hip airbag 400.
[0286] The first, second, and third modes are used to correct or adjust the user's pelvis, and the designer can change the combination of actions performed in the first, second, and third modes.
[0287] (Step S4000).
[0288] The cycle mode can be executed again after the third mode. The control unit 1400 can control the massage module 100 so that the pelvic airbags 300a, 300b and the hip airbag 400 move sequentially to massage the user's hips and waist. The massage module 100 can move by kneading the user's waist and hips. Thus, the massage device 1000 can promote blood circulation through the relaxation effect around the tense pelvis and the slight local stimulation for pelvic correction (step S5000).
[0289] A recovery mode can be performed after the cycle mode. The recovery mode can be a gentle massage of the user's entire body to relieve tension in the user's muscles that have contracted due to pressure applied to correct the user's pelvis. The control unit 1400 can control the massage module 100 to perform a process of kneading the user's buttocks to the waist while adjusting the intensity from weak to strong. The massage by the massage module 100 can relax the muscles around the waist that are tense due to the pelvic correction process. The control unit 1400 can control the massage module 100 to perform a process of applying pressure to the user's waist to the neck while adjusting the intensity from strong to weak. The massage module 100 can perform acupressure massage while moving along the erector spinae muscles, and can simultaneously activate airbags that apply pressure to the shoulders and arms, thereby performing a massage on the user's entire upper body. During, before, or after the massage of the user's upper body, foot massage and massage of the lower limbs can be performed to relieve tension. The leg massage unit performing the lower limb massage can include a first leg massage unit for massaging the left leg and a second leg massage unit for massaging the right leg. The first leg massage unit may include a first calf airbag for massaging the lower leg of the left leg and a first foot airbag for massaging the foot (instep and heel) of the left leg. The second leg massage unit may include a second calf airbag for massaging the lower leg of the right leg and a second foot airbag for massaging the foot (instep and heel) of the right leg. The control unit 1400 can simultaneously move or contract the pelvic airbags 300a, 300b and the hip airbag 400. As another example, the control unit 1400 can sequentially move the airbag on the left side and the airbag on the right side of the pelvic airbags 300a, 300b and the hip airbag 400, based on the user's position. The massage device 1000 can perform massage to relax muscles that are tense due to pelvic correction, massage using airbags to prevent the pelvis from returning to its original position, and foot massage to relieve tension during the correction process (step S6000).
[0290] The technical concept of this utility model has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this is only an exemplary description of the preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications and imitations can be made without departing from the technical concept of this utility model.
[0291] Furthermore, the structure and function of the massage device described in this manual can be extended and applied to various (wearable) health care devices that provide health care functions (e.g., massage function, biosignal measurement function, etc.). Therefore, the term "massage device" in this manual can be replaced with "(wearable) health care device" for further explanation.
