Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an active massage module and a massage mechanism including the thereof, specifically an active massage module and a massage mechanism including the thereof that can utilize elastic components to perform active up-and-down movements in real time according to the user's body shape. Background Technology

[0002] As people pay more attention to health, various massage parlors are becoming increasingly popular. In particular, bed-type massage parlors are showing a gradual increase in popularity for the convenience and rest of users.

[0003] This massage device has a massage module that includes acupressure components for applying pressure to the user's body. This massage module is typically configured with two acupressure components spaced at a constant interval in order to bring the user's spine closer to the center.

[0004] In a massage device with this structure, while the user is lying on the bed, the massage module can move along the user's spine and repeatedly raise or lower the acupressure parts in accordance with the shape of the user's back and spine, providing a more accurate and precise massage to various elements of the user's back and spine, thereby maximizing the massage effect.

[0005] In the case of such massage mechanisms and their included massage modules, an electric motor is used to raise or lower the acupressure components. In particular, the height of the acupressure components is adjusted by rotating the motor. However, due to the complexity of the mechanical structure and design difficulties in connecting the motor and the acupressure components, manufacturing such massage mechanisms requires a significant amount of time and expense.

[0006] Furthermore, the vibration of the massage module may reduce the durability of the internal structural components or prevent the user from experiencing a comfortable user experience.

[0007] Moreover, when the massage module moves, it should move up and down in real time to match the user's body shape. However, when using a motor to move up and down, the slow response speed makes it difficult to quickly move up and down to match the shape of the user's back or spine.

[0050] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention.

[0051] While describing the embodiments, descriptions of technical content well-known in the field of this invention and not directly related to this invention are omitted. This is to convey the essence of this invention more clearly without confusion by omitting unnecessary descriptions.

[0052] For the same reason, some structural elements are shown in the accompanying drawings in an exaggerated, omitted, or simplified manner. Furthermore, the sizes of the structural elements do not perfectly reflect their actual sizes. In all the accompanying drawings, the same or corresponding structural elements are given the same reference numerals.

[0053] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] Figure 1 A perspective view of a second embodiment 200 of a massage mechanism including an active massage module, representing a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 A preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an active massage module 1000 and a second embodiment 200 including the massage mechanism thereof. The active massage module 1000 has at least one active massage module 1000 and includes a transfer part for transferring each active massage module 1000 and a bed 220 for supporting the human body. The transfer part has a transfer component formed by a drive chain 260 or a drive belt 240 and a driver 230 for providing driving force to the transfer component. The transfer component is in contact with at least one side pulley 5 on each side, so that the active massage modules 1000 are transferred linearly back and forth.

[0056] In the second embodiment 200, two active massage modules 1000 are provided, and a module mounting part 10 supports the lower end of each module, so that the two active massage modules 1000 maintain a constant interval as shown in the figure and move together. This is because it is implemented in a way that allows movement and acupressure on the parts on both sides of the spine of the user's back along the spinal direction. According to the embodiment, two or more active massage modules 1000 can be mounted on a massage mechanism, and it can be implemented in a way that each active massage module 1000 moves along different directions.

[0057] Furthermore, the driver of the massage mechanism including the active massage module in a preferred embodiment of this utility model is characterized in that it is configured to stop at a specific rotation angle to maintain the corresponding angle for a constant time. In this way, the driver is set to maintain the corresponding angle in a stopped state at a specific angle, thereby increasing the acupressure time on a specific area. After acupressure is applied to the area within the set time, the driver moves to other areas and can apply acupressure to that area again within the set time.

[0058] As described above, there are known methods for controlling the application of acupressure to specific locations within a set time period, and each user's customized settings differ; therefore, detailed explanations are omitted.

[0059] Figure 2a A perspective view of a first embodiment 100 of a massage mechanism including an active massage module, representing a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0060] Figure 2b This is a partial exploded perspective view of a first embodiment 100 of a massage mechanism including an active massage module, which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the active massage module 1000 has been separated.

[0061] Reference Figure 2a In the first embodiment 100 of the massage mechanism including active massage modules in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two active massage modules 1000 can be arranged in the module mounting part 10 with a right module support plate 20 or a left module support plate 30 respectively provided at the lower end.

[0062] In the right module support plate 20 and the left module support plate 30, the lower vibration damping component 7 is connected to four locations on the bottom surface of each of them, and the lower end of the lower vibration damping component is connected to the module mounting base 1, thereby attenuating the vibration generated by the motor M and transmitted to each structural element.

[0063] Furthermore, base side plates 3 are attached to both ends of the module mounting base 1, and at least two side pulleys 5 are provided on the surface of each base side plate 3. As shown in the figure, the case where four side pulleys 5 are provided on one base side plate 3 is to maintain the tension generated by the transfer components such as the drive belt 240 or drive chain 260 that are in contact with the side pulleys 5 at a constant level or above. Although in embodiments where corresponding tension changes can occur frequently, the implementation is carried out in a manner that allows adjustment of the axis position of the side pulleys 5, the case of the first embodiment 100 is implemented in a fixed form.

[0064] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2bAlthough the illustration shows the left module support plate 30, the active massage module 1000 and the lower anti-vibration component 7 separated from the module mounting base 1, this is to show the opening formed in the module mounting base to enable the use of the lower anti-vibration component 7 and the installation of the motor M.

[0065] and, Figure 2a , Figure 2b The diagram shows a connector joint 25 extending outward from each module support plate (right module support plate 20 or left module support plate 30) and providing an area for connecting connectors 50 for connecting power lines and communication lines.

[0066] Figure 3 The figures are a top view and a side sectional view of a first embodiment 100 of a massage mechanism including an active massage module, which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0067] exist Figure 3 middle, Figure 3 (a) of Figure 3 Part (b) consists of a side sectional view and a top view. Figure 3 Part (a) indicates along Figure 3 The side profile of the viewpoint shown in section (b) along line AA and in the direction of the arrow. Figure 3 In part (a), the height difference between the upper ends of the two side padding frame portions 800 is represented by h, which is equivalent to the difference between the minimum and maximum heights of the ends of the acupressure pad 900, which are adjusted to match the height difference caused by the user's body curvature. The height of the ends of the acupressure pad 900 is adjusted by a drive motor M.

[0068] Furthermore, the presence of the elastic member located below the padding frame portion 800 can be confirmed, and this will be referred to... Figure 6 Please provide an explanation.

[0069] Furthermore, the left module support plate 30 also includes a fixing protrusion 9 extending upward, which is formed with regard to the fact that the active massage module 1000 may be used for a specific purpose such as a specific location. It can be omitted or formed in other directions depending on the purpose of use in different embodiments, and can be formed on the right module support plate 20. Therefore, it is not limited to having the same shape as the figure.

[0070] Figure 4 The figures are perspective, top, and side views showing the state of the active massage module 1000 combined with the motor M in a massage mechanism including an active massage module according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0071] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 Part (a) is a three-dimensional diagram. Figure 4 Part (b) is a top view. Figure 4 Part (c) is a separate three-dimensional view of the frame housing 500. Figure 4 Part (d) is a side view. Figure 4 Part (e) is the main view.

[0072] From Figure 4 As confirmed in section (c), at least one side of the frame housing 500 has an opening at or near the lower end. This is to facilitate the drainage of airflow generated by the padding frame portion 800 that vibrates and moves inside the frame housing 500, and to achieve engagement when additional fasteners such as bolts are used, so as to limit the position of the frame housing 500 of the module support plate.

[0073] Furthermore, grooves with constant depth and height can be formed on a pair of opposing surfaces inside the frame housing 500. This is to prevent the padding frame portion 800 from rotating inside the frame housing 500. (Refer to...) Figure 6 Let me explain again.

[0074] Figure 5 The figures are side views and side sectional views showing the state of the active massage module 1000 combined with the motor M in a massage mechanism including an active massage module according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0075] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 5 Part (a) Figure 5 Part (b) Figure 5 Part (c) consists of the rear view, side view, and side sectional view. Figure 5 Part (b) is Figure 5 (a) Side view in the BB direction. Figure 5 Part (c) is related to Figure 5 A side sectional view in the same direction as part (b). Figure 5 In part (c), the structure including the elastic member disposed at the lower end of the pad frame portion 800 will be referred to Figure 6 Please provide a detailed explanation.

[0076] Figure 6 This is an exploded perspective view showing the components included in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which are an active massage module 1000 and a motor M, arranged vertically in the order of assembly.

[0077] Reference Figure 6The motor M, the left module support plate 30, the elastic part connecting / support member 490, the elastic part 600, the pad frame part 800, the buffer rib forming part 850 and the acupressure pad 900 are arranged in the order from bottom to top.

[0078] The motor shaft Ma, which serves as the rotation axis of the motor M, extends upward, and a pin coupling is formed near the upper end of the motor shaft Ma. A shaft coupling pin 522 is inserted into the pin coupling to achieve synchronous rotation of the elastic part 600 (described later) and the motor shaft Ma.

[0079] At least two connecting posts 6 can be formed on the left module support plate 30 as structures for connecting the frame housing 50. Hollows for bolting can be formed in the connecting posts 6, and threaded holes for connecting the motor M can be formed at the lower end of the connecting posts 6. Furthermore, a hollow space should be formed in the middle of the left module support plate 30 for single-sided connection of the motor and for the passage of the motor shaft Ma.

[0080] Furthermore, the elastic part connecting / support member 490 for supporting the elastic part 600 is combined with the left module support plate 30 in a form that penetrates the hollow part.

[0081] The elastic part 600 includes: a lower flange 510, which is coupled to the upper surface of the elastic part coupling / support member 490, has a constant diameter, and has a hollow space formed at the center for coupling with a motor shaft, and a flange post 520 that is concentric with the hollow space and has a constant height; an elastic member 550, which is formed of an elastic material with a length greater than the height of the flange post 520 and is inserted into the flange post 520; and an upper flange 590, which is a hollow post formed downwards that is inserted in such a way that it surrounds a portion of the upper end of the flange post 520 of the lower flange 510, and receives the restoring force of the elastic member 550 with the flange surface.

[0082] Furthermore, the upper flange 590 may be fitted with: an upper fixing member 581, which has a through-hole of a specific shape at its upper end, has an outer shape corresponding to the specific shape of the through-hole, and has a threaded through-hole at its center; and an upper fixing bolt 582, which is threaded into the through-hole. The upper fixing member 581 and the upper fixing bolt 582 are structural elements provided to further improve the bonding force between the various structures by further increasing the friction between the contact surfaces connecting the upper flange 590, the upper fixing member 581, and the upper fixing bolt 582 (see reference). Figure 8 It also serves to fix the shaft and guide rotation and lifting.

[0083] Furthermore, in Figure 8Although the upper portion of the upper fixing member 581 is shown to have protrusions in four directions, according to the embodiment, the protrusions can be formed in the form of one, two, three, four or more as described in this embodiment, and the number can be determined to be the optimal number to match the formation purpose and environment of different embodiments.

[0084] Figure 7 The figures are perspective views, top views, and side views showing the combined state of the elastic part 600 and the padding frame part 800 of the active massage module according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0085] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 7 (a) of Figure 7 (b) of Figure 7 Part (c) Figure 7 Part (d) consists of a perspective view, a top view, a side view, and a side sectional view. Figure 7 The (d) part is given Figure 7 A side sectional view of the CC line and arrow in (c).

[0086] Reference Figure 7 In part (d), it can be confirmed that two bearings 790 are inserted near the upper end of the pad frame portion 800 and below the buffer rib forming portion 850. The bearings 790 are designed to prevent the transmission of rotational force to the acupressure pad 900 when the lower flange 510-flange post 520 rotates due to the rotation of the motor M, thereby causing the upper flange 590 and the pad frame flange 710 to rotate.

[0087] One of the main reasons for using two bearings 790 is to minimize the internal clearance of the bearings, thereby minimizing shaft wobble.

[0088] During the period when the acupressure pad 900 applies pressure to the user's body, if a constant or higher rotational force is applied to the acupressure pad 900, it will cause unnecessary discomfort to the user, or in severe cases, pain. Therefore, the rotational force toward the acupressure pad 900 is minimized by using the bearing 790.

[0089] Furthermore, in the pad frame portion 800 structure described above, the rotation center of the column formed near the rotation center of the pad frame flange 710 is not on a straight line with the rotation center of the pad frame flange 710.

[0090] That is, when the rotation of the motor M and the motor shaft Ma is transmitted to the pad frame portion 800 via the elastic portion 600, the acupressure pad 900 vibrates in the horizontal direction because the pillar of the pad frame flange 710 is formed at an off-center position relative to the pad frame flange 710, thereby further improving the massage effect.

[0091] Furthermore, an eccentric balance plate 730 is added around the upper surface column of the pad frame flange 710, thereby acting as a counterweight to maintain balance during the eccentric vibration of the pad frame flange 710.

[0092] Furthermore, according to the embodiment, a through hole with threaded machining is formed in the eccentric equalizer 730, thereby taking into account the bolt fixing thread used in the connection between the elastic part 600 and the pad frame part 800.

[0093] Figure 8 The figures are top view, side view, perspective view and exploded perspective view of the elastic part 600 included in the active massage module of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0094] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 8 (a) of Figure 8 (b) of Figure 8 Part (c) Figure 8 Part (d) consists of a top view, a perspective view, a side view, and an exploded perspective view. Figure 8 Part (c) includes the side view and Figure 8 The side and bottom views of the DD line and arrow in part (a).

[0095] Reference Figure 8 In part (d), the elastic part 600 includes, in order from bottom to top, a lower flange 510, a flange post 520, an elastic washer 530, an elastic member 550, an upper flange 590, and an upper end fixing part 580 of the elastic part. One or two coupling pin insertion ports 521 are formed near the lower end of the flange post 520, and a shaft coupling pin 522 is inserted into the coupling pin insertion port 521.

[0096] At this time, the shaft coupling pin 522 is used to fix the lower flange 510 and flange post 520 in a way that allows them to rotate synchronously with the motor shaft Ma. Furthermore, it is characterized by being applied in two places to ensure a fixation that does not result in loosening or play caused by rotation.

[0097] Furthermore, although the elastic member 550 is shown in the accompanying drawings of this utility model as a spring, which is the most commonly used form of elastic structural element, this is not intended to limit the structural element of the elastic member 550 to be in the form of a spring.

[0098] Above, refer to Figures 1 to 8 The accompanying drawings illustrate a preferred embodiment of the massage mechanism of the present invention, which includes an active massage module.

[0099] On the other hand, a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been disclosed in this specification and accompanying drawings. Although specific terminology has been used, these are merely for the purpose of simply illustrating the technical content of the present invention and helping to understand its general meaning, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition to the embodiments disclosed herein, other modifications based on the technical concept of the present invention may be implemented, which will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains.
