[0096] When describing each part of the massage device according to embodiments of this specification, the orientation is defined based on the view of a user sitting on the massage device. For example, the leg massage section is located in front of the body massage section.
[0097] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating a massage device according to one embodiment of this specification.
[0098] A massage device 100 according to an embodiment of this specification includes at least some or all of the following: a body massage section 1000, which forms an area for accommodating at least a portion of a user's body and massages the user's body; a leg massage section 2000, which massages the user's legs; and an arm massage section 3000, which massages the user's arms.
[0099] The body massage unit 1000 is capable of providing massage to at least a part of a user's body. To this end, the body massage unit 1000 may include a main frame 1100 constituting the skeleton of the body massage unit 1000 and a massage module 1700 that provides massage function to at least a part of the user's body. Additionally, the body massage unit 1000 may include: an audio output module 1500 providing audio output of any form to the user; and an input unit 350 for receiving input of any form from the user.
[0100] The structures of the body massage unit 1000 described above are merely exemplary embodiments. In addition to the aforementioned structures, the body massage unit 1000 may also include various other structures.
[0101] In addition, such as Figure 1 The shape and structure of the massage device 100 shown are merely examples. Various forms of massage devices 100 should also fall within the scope of this specification without departing from the scope of the claims.
[0102] The body massage unit 1000 can be formed into a space of any shape to accommodate the user. The body massage unit 1000 can have a space that corresponds to the shape of the user's body. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, the body massage unit 1000 can be implemented in a seated form that can accommodate the user's whole body or part of the body. The body massage unit 1000 includes a backrest 1000a that accommodates the user's upper body, including the user's back, and a seat 1000b that supports the user's buttocks.
[0103] The part of the body massage unit 100 that contacts the ground may include any material or component for increasing friction (e.g., anti-slip mat, etc.) and may include wheels for enhancing the mobility of the massage device 100.
[0104] At least a portion of the body massage unit 1000 is slidable. For example, when the body massage unit 1000 begins to massage, at least a portion of the body massage unit 1000 can slide forward. Additionally, the body massage unit 1000 can tilt backward. As a result, the body massage unit 1000 can provide massage while tilted backward.
[0105] According to one embodiment of this specification, the massage device 100 may include at least one airbag. The airbag may be located in the user's shoulder area, pelvic area, leg massage area 2000, arm massage area 3000, etc., but is not limited thereto, and may be configured in multiple parts of the massage device 100.
[0106] The massage device 100 may include an air supply unit that can supply air to the airbag to inflate the airbag. The air supply unit may be located inside the body massage unit 1000 or in the leg massage unit 2000. Additionally, the air supply unit may also be located outside the massage device 100.
[0107] The arm massage units 3000 located on both sides of the body massage unit 1000 are provided with an arm receiving groove 3110 in the form of a "匚" - shaped groove so that the user can comfortably place their arms in a sitting state and receive massage. The upper and lower sides of the arm receiving groove may be provided with airbags to massage the user's arms by applying downward and / or upward pressure.
[0108] The arm massage unit 3000 may include a support part 3200 arranged on the lower side and an arm massage providing part 3100 arranged on the upper side of the support part 3200.
[0109] The leg massage unit 2000 can provide leg massage to the user. For example, the leg massage unit 2000 may include a calf massage unit for massaging the user's calf and / or a foot massage unit for massaging the user's foot.
[0110] The leg massage unit 2000 can adjust its length according to the user's body characteristics. For example, when a tall user uses the massage device 100, since the user's calf is long, the length of the leg massage unit 2000 needs to be increased. Additionally, when a short user uses the massage device 100, since the user's calf is short, the leg massage unit 2000 needs to be shortened. Therefore, the leg massage unit 2000 can provide leg massage that matches the user's height.
[0111] According to an embodiment of this specification, the leg massage unit 2000 may include a physically separated first leg massage unit 2000a and a second leg massage unit 2000b. For example, the first leg massage unit 2000a located on one side may correspond to the user's left leg, and the second leg massage unit 2000b located on the other side may correspond to the user's right leg.
[0112] The first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b each include a calf massage unit and a foot massage unit. Therefore, the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b can individually adjust the length of the leg massage unit and can provide foot massage. For this purpose, the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b each have a leg length actuator and a foot massage module.
[0113] The first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b can independently adjust the leg angle and move. The first leg massage unit 2000a is adjusted by a second leg angle actuator, and the second leg massage unit 2000b is adjusted by a second leg angle actuator. Therefore, for example, while the first leg massage unit 2000a is raised, the second leg massage unit 2000b can remain in contact with the ground. Furthermore, when the leg length and / or leg angle of the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b are adjusted differently from each other, movements such as a walking mode can be achieved.
[0114] Hereinafter, "leg massage unit 2000" may refer to the first leg massage unit 2000a, the second leg massage unit 2000b, or both leg massage units, and may also refer to an integrated leg massage unit 2000 in which the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b are connected as one unit. Unless it is necessary to distinguish between the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b, it will be referred to as "leg massage unit 2000".
[0115] The massage module 1700 can be disposed inside the body massage unit 1000 to provide any form of mechanical stimulation to the user accommodated in the body massage unit 1000. The massage module 1700 can move along the main frame 1100 disposed inside the body massage unit 1000.

[0148] Figure 3 This is an exploded view illustrating a portion of a massage device according to an embodiment of this specification. Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating the main framework of one embodiment of this specification.
[0149] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the main frame 1100 can form the skeleton of the body massage part 1000. The main frame 1100 includes a body frame 1200 and a base frame 1300 that supports the body frame 1200.
[0150] The body frame 1200 includes: a back frame 1210 for forming the skeleton of the back 1000a that accommodates the user's upper body; and a seat frame 1250 for forming the skeleton of the seat portion 1000b.
[0151] The base frame 1300 is positioned on the ground and supports the body frame 1200. The base frame 1300 is positioned under the seat frame 1250.
[0152] According to one embodiment of this specification, the main frame 1100 may further include a bottom base frame 1380 that slidably supports the base frame 1300. Thus, the base frame 1300 can be configured to support the body frame 1200 and be able to move forward or backward relative to the ground.
[0153] The bottom base frame 1380 is configured to contact the ground and support the base frame 1300. A sliding unit 1330 may be provided at the lower end of the base frame 1300, which allows the base frame 1300 to slide relative to the bottom base frame 1380.
[0154] For example, the sliding unit may include a slide rod, a slide rail, and a pulley. The slide rod may be attached to the lower surface of the base frame 1300. The slide rail may be attached to the upper surface of the bottom base frame 1380. The pulley may be disposed inside the slide rail. When the base frame 1300 moves, the slide rod moves forward or backward under the guidance of the slide rail, and the pulley assists the slide rod in moving linearly along the slide rail.
[0155] In this specification, the base frame 1300 may include the bottom base frame 1380. Therefore, when there is no need to distinguish between the base frame 1300 and the bottom base frame 1380, the base frame 1300 may be referred to as the entirety including the bottom frame 1300.
[0156] The base frame 1300 may have a support shaft frame 1320 extending along its upper end. The support shaft frame 1320 is connected to the seat frame 1250 by means of pins or the like, thereby serving as a support shaft for the seat frame 1250 to rotate forward or backward relative to the base frame 1300.
[0157] Additionally, the support shaft frame 1320 can be used as a joint where the arm massage part 3000 is attached to the base frame 1300.
[0158] The leg massage unit 2000 is rotatably connected to the front of the base frame 1300 in the up-down direction.
[0159] The body frame 1200 is supported by the base frame 1300.
[0160] At least a portion of the body frame 1200 may be provided with a rack 1211. The rack 1211 is a component for guiding the up-and-down movement of the massage module and may include multiple valleys and multiple spines.
[0161] The rack 1211 can be arranged in an opposing manner on the body frame 1200. The massage module can move along the rack 1211. For example, the massage module may include a gear meshing with the rack 1211, the gear being rotated by an actuator disposed on the massage module, thereby enabling the massage module to move up or down.
[0162] The rack 1211 may be made of metal or plastic. For example, the rack 1211 may be made of iron, steel, alloy, reinforced plastic, melamine resin, phenolic resin, etc., but is not limited to these.
[0163] According to one embodiment of this specification, the seat frame 1250 and the backrest frame 1210 are formed by separate frames and can be configured such that one end of each is adjacent to the other. The seat frame 1250 and the backrest frame 1210 are formed by separate frames and are movably coupled to each other, thereby facilitating adjustment of the angle between the seat frame 1250 and the backrest frame 1210. Movement of the backrest frame 1210 corresponds to movement of the backrest 1000a, and movement of the seat frame 1250 corresponds to movement of the seat portion 1000b.
[0164] The back frame 1210 may include a skeleton forming the back 1000a and a rack support frame 1220 supporting the rack 1211 and extending along the length direction.
[0165] The seat frame 1250 supports the backrest frame 1210 and is disposed on the upper part of the base frame 1300. The seat frame 1250 forms the skeleton of the seat portion 1000b, which is the part where the user sits. The seat frame 1250 is connected to and disposed on the backrest frame 1210.
[0166] The back frame 1210 can be rotatably connected relative to the base frame 1300 and / or the seat frame 1250. The back frame 1210 can be switched so that the massage device 100 can be in a sitting or reclining position.
[0167] Additionally, the seat frame 1250 can be rotatably connected relative to the base frame 1300 and / or the back frame 1210. Therefore, when the massage device 100 switches positions between a sitting mode and a reclining mode, the angle between the back frame 1210 and the seat frame 1250 can be adjusted.
[0168] An arm massage unit 3000 is disposed on the side of a body massage unit 1000. The arm massage unit 3000 includes a first arm massage unit 3000a disposed on one side of the body massage unit 1000, such as the right side, and a second arm massage unit 3000b disposed on the other side, such as the left side.

Additionally, support unit 3200 may refer to each or all of the first support unit 3200a and the second support unit 3200b, and arm massage providing unit 3100 may refer to each or all of the first arm massage providing unit 3100a and the second arm massage providing unit 3100b.
[0171] Hereinafter, unless it is necessary to distinguish between the first arm massage unit 3000a and the second arm massage unit 3000b, the structure will be described using terms such as arm massage unit 3000, support unit 3200 and arm massage providing unit 3100.
[0172] Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the connection relationships of the actuators for adjusting the seat angle, back angle, and leg angle in a massage device according to an embodiment of this specification.
[0173] The seat angle can be defined as the angle formed by the seat frame relative to the ground, the back angle can be defined as the angle formed by the back frame relative to the ground, and the leg angle can be defined as the angle formed by the leg massage area relative to the ground.
[0174] Figure 5 Parts (a), (b), and (c) respectively show the seat angle actuator, back angle actuator, and leg angle actuator.
[0175] A massage device 100 according to one embodiment of this specification includes a plurality of actuators to provide a variety of massage modes and / or stretching modes.
[0176] According to one embodiment of this specification, a massage device 100 may include a sliding actuator 1610 for adjusting the sliding of the massage device 100 (see reference 1610). Figure 4 ).
[0177] A sliding actuator 1610 is disposed between the base frame 1300 and the bottom base frame 1380 to adjust the forward and backward movement of the body massage unit. One end of the sliding actuator 1610 is connected to the base frame 1300, and the other end is connected to the bottom base frame 1380.
[0178] According to one embodiment of this specification, a massage device 100 may include a seat angle actuator 1620 to adjust the angle of the seat portion 1000b.
[0179] Reference Figure 5 In part (a), the seat angle actuator 1620 can be connected between the base frame 1300 and the seat frame 1250. One end of the seat angle actuator 1620 is connected through the base frame 1300, and the other end is connected to the seat frame 1250. The seat angle actuator 1620 causes the seat frame 1250 to move relative to the base frame 1300 in the fore-and-aft direction, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the seat frame 1250 and the seat portion 1000b supported on the seat frame 1250.
[0180] According to one embodiment of this specification, a massage device 100 may include a back angle actuator 1630 to adjust the angle of the back 1000a.
[0181] Reference Figure 5 In part (b), the backrest angle actuator 1630 can be connected between the seat frame 1250 and the backrest frame 1210. One end of the backrest angle actuator 1630 is connected through the seat frame 1250, and the other end is connected to the backrest frame 1210. The backrest angle actuator 1630 causes the backrest frame 1210 to move relative to the seat frame 1250 in the fore-and-aft direction, thereby adjusting the angle between the backrest frame 1210 and the backrest 1000a supported on the backrest frame 1210.
[0182] According to one embodiment of this specification, a massage device 100 may include a leg angle actuator 1640 to adjust the angle of a leg massage section 2000.
[0183] Reference Figure 5 In part (c), the leg angle actuator 1640 can be disposed between the seat frame 1250 and the leg massage part 2000.
[0184] One end of the leg angle actuator 1640 is connected via the seat frame 1250, and the other end is connected to the leg angle adjustment unit 2110. The leg angle adjustment unit 2110 may be provided with a wheel, the upper end of which is hinged to the base frame 1300 and the other end of which contacts the rear surface of the leg massage unit 2000.
[0185] When the leg angle actuator 1640 extends, the leg angle adjustment part 2110 rotates upward around the hinge connection part, and the wheel at the other end pushes the leg massage part 2000 upward. When the leg angle actuator 1640 retracts, the leg angle adjustment part 2110 rotates downward, and the leg massage part 2000 descends while in contact with the leg angle adjustment part 2110. As described above, the leg angle actuator 1640 adjusts the angle of the leg massage part 2000 by moving the leg angle adjustment part 2110 to rotate the leg massage part 2000 in the vertical direction.
[0186] According to the massage device described in this specification, it is not excluded that one end of the leg angle actuator 1640 is connected to the base frame 1300. However, according to one embodiment of this specification, when the leg angle actuator 1640 is disposed between the seat frame 1250 and the leg angle adjustment part 2110, since the adjustment angle of the seat frame 1250 and the angle adjusted by driving the leg angle adjustment part 2110 are added together, thereby adjusting the angle of the leg massage part 2000, it is easy to increase the angle of raising the leg massage part 2000 when the posture is switched to the tilt mode.
[0187] In an embodiment where the leg massage unit 2000 includes a first leg massage unit 2000a and a second leg massage unit 2000b that are physically separate and operate independently, the leg angle actuator 1640 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b, and is controlled individually.
[0188] According to one embodiment of this specification, each actuator, including a sliding actuator 1610, a seat angle actuator 1620, a back angle actuator 1630, and a leg angle actuator 1640, is controlled by a control unit 300. For example, the control unit 300 can control the sliding, seat angle, back angle, and leg angle of the massage device by controlling the actuators.
[0189] According to one embodiment of this specification, each actuator is equipped with an encoder capable of detecting the rotational speed and speed of the motor. The extension / contraction length, speed, etc. of the actuator can be controlled by the control unit 300 to suit various modes of the massage device 100 and the user's body.
[0190] Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a change in posture of the massage device described in this instruction manual.
[0191] According to one embodiment of this specification, the massage device 100 can change its posture to achieve a sitting mode (left side) and a reclining mode (right side).
[0192] According to one embodiment of this specification, the massage device 100 can individually adjust the seat angle, back angle, and leg angle to set angles in order to perform a specific massage mode and a specific stretching mode.
[0193] For example, the massage device 100 can slide forward. Before the massage device 100 changes its posture to a tilted mode, it can slide forward to prevent it from colliding with structures behind it.
[0194] In addition, in order to perform a specific stretching mode, the massage device 100 can simultaneously, sequentially, or with a delay in adjusting the seat angle, back angle, and leg angle.
[0195] According to one embodiment of this specification, when the massage device 100 changes from a seated mode to a tilted mode, the back frame 1210 supports the back 1000a and lays flat towards the ground, the seat frame 1250 supports the seat part 1000b and lifts it relative to the ground, and the leg massage part 2000 lifts it relative to the ground.
[0196] In addition, in the arm massage unit 3000, the arm massage providing unit 3100 is tilted backward relative to the support unit 3200.
[0197] In this specification, the front or back direction is... Figure 6 The direction shown is the reference.
[0198] Figure 7 This diagram illustrates the structure and operation of the independent movement of the arm massage section of a massage device according to an embodiment of this specification. Figure 8 This is a diagram showing the inner surface of the arm massage providing part of a massage device according to an embodiment of this specification.

[0201] The arm massage providing part 3100 is disposed on the upper side of the support part 3200 and is movably supported.
[0202] The arm massage unit driving module 3300 provides a moving force for the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move independently relative to the support unit 3200.
[0203] Refer to Figure 6 , in the sitting mode (left side) of the massage device 100, the position of the arm massage providing unit 3100 is referred to as the first position, and in the inclined mode (right side) of the massage device 100, the position of the arm massage providing unit 3100 is referred to as the second position. The second position is a position where the arm massage providing unit 3100 moves backward and tilts relative to the first position so that the position of the arm massage providing unit 3100 drops. As described above, the arm massage providing unit 3100 can move downward and tilt from the first position relative to the support unit 3200 to the second position.
[0204] An arm receiving groove 3110 for inserting a user's arm is formed in the arm massage providing unit 3100 (refer to Figure 8 ). An arm airbag 3112 for fixing the user's arm is provided in the arm receiving groove 3110. The arm receiving groove 3110 is formed in a "C" - shaped groove opening toward the inner surface 3103 of the arm massage providing unit 3100. The arm airbag 3112 can be inflated by the airbag supply unit to fix the user's arm or repeatedly inflated or deflated to provide massage.
[0205] An interference prevention groove 3101 may be formed at the rear side of the inner surface 3103 of the arm massage providing unit 3100. The interference prevention groove 3101 is formed to prevent interference between the arm massage providing unit 3100 and the back 1000a when the posture of the massage device 100 is switched to the inclined mode and the back 1000a is laid flat and / or when the arm massage providing unit 3100 moves relative to the support unit 3200.
[0206] The support unit 3200 may be fixed to the side surface of the base frame 1300.
[0207] The upper surface 3210 of the support unit 3200 is formed as a downward - inclined surface that slopes downward and backward, and the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage providing unit 3100 is formed to be inclined corresponding to the downward - inclined upper surface 3210. The arm massage providing unit 3100 moves inclinedly along the downward - inclined upper surface of the support unit 3210.
[0208] The arm massage unit driving module 3300 is used to support the arm massage providing unit 3100 movably relative to the support unit 3200 and provide a moving force.
[0209] The arm massage unit driving module 3300 may include at least a part or all of an arm massage unit actuator 3320, a support plate 3310, a guide rail 3330, and a guide block 3340 (refer to Figure 10 ).
[0210] According to this specification, one side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is connected to the support portion 3200, and the other side is connected to the arm massage providing portion 3100. When the arm massage actuator 3320 extends or retracts, the arm massage providing portion 3100 can move relative to the support portion 3200. The arm massage actuator 3320 provides a moving force that causes the arm massage providing portion 3100 to move directly relative to the support portion 3200.
[0211] The arm massage actuator 3320 can be connected parallel to the movement direction of the arm massage providing part 3100, for example, by tilting the movement direction, so that the movement of the arm massage providing part 3100 is performed along a movement path parallel to the extension and retraction direction of the arm massage actuator 3320.
[0212] According to one embodiment of this specification, the arm massage actuator 3320 is disposed inside the arm massage providing part 3100.
[0213] An arm massage actuator 3320 is disposed inside one of the arm massage providing part 3100 and the support part 3200, and the arm massage actuator 3320 is connected to the other arm massage providing part 3100 and the support part 3200 via a support plate 3310. Thus, the arm massage actuator 3320 can be connected to both the arm massage providing part 3100 and the support part 3200.
[0214] The support plate 3310 physically connects the arm massage actuator 3320, which is disposed inside one of the arm massage providing part 3100 and the support part 3200, to the other of the arm massage providing part 3100 and the support part 3200, which are separated from each other, thereby supporting the movement of the arm massage providing part 3100 relative to the support part 3200.
[0215] According to one embodiment of this specification, the support plate 3310 may include a lower portion 3311 fixed to the support portion 3200 and an upper portion 3312 extending upward from the lower portion 3311 and disposed inside the arm massage providing portion 3100.
[0216] An arm massage actuator 3320 is disposed adjacent to the lower surface 3107 inside the arm massage providing part 3100, and is connected to the support plate 3310 on one side. The other side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is connected to the arm massage providing part 3100.
[0217] According to one embodiment of this specification, the lower portion 3311 of the support plate 3310 is exemplified as being fixed inside the support portion 3200, but is not limited thereto. For example, it may be a portion fixed to the upper surface 3210 of the support portion 3200.
[0218] The support plate 3310 extends through the second through hole 3212 formed on the upper surface 3210 of the support portion 3200 and the first through hole 3107a formed on the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage providing portion 3100. Since the first through hole 3107a formed on the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage providing portion 3100 forms a path for relative movement of the arm massage providing portion 3100 relative to the support plate 3310, the support plate 3310 has sufficient length and extends along the length direction so as not to interfere with the arm massage providing portion 3100.
[0219] According to one embodiment of this specification, the lower portion 3311 of the support plate 3310 can extend into and be fixed to the support portion 3200. A lower frame 3204 is fixed to the main body 3202 of the support portion 3200, which is formed from injection-molded material, and the lower portion 3311 of the support plate 3310 is fixed to the lower frame 3204. This structure facilitates the assembly of the arm massage portion 3000, including the assembly of the support plate 3310, and the support plate 3310 supports the load of the arm massage providing portion 3100.
[0220] The upper portion 3312 of the support plate 3310 can be supported so that it can move relative to the arm massage providing portion 3100. According to one embodiment of this specification, the support plate 3310 can support the arm massage providing portion 3100 relatively movably, specifically, the guide rail 3330.
[0221] One end of the arm massage actuator 3320 can be fixed to the support plate 3310. A first bracket 3315 connected to one side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is provided on one side of the upper part 3312 of the support plate 3310.
[0222] The arm massage actuator 3320 is obliquely configured and extends parallel to the movement path of the arm massage providing part 3100, and the other side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is fixed to the arm massage providing part 3100. The arm massage providing part 3100 has a main body formed by injection molding, namely an upper frame 3104 fixed to the upper main body 3102, and the other side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is fixed to the upper frame 3104. A second bracket 3105 is provided on the upper frame 3104 to connect to the other end of the arm massage actuator 3320.
[0223] When the arm massage actuator 3320 is activated, the lever 3323 is pulled out, and the arm massage actuator 3320 extends with reference to the support plate 3310 fixed at one end. The other end of the arm massage actuator 3320, which is fixed to the second bracket 3105, pulls the arm massage providing part 3100. Therefore, a tilting force is provided to the arm massage providing part 3000. Thus, the arm massage providing part 3100 can tilt and move along the extension direction of the arm massage actuator 3320. Since the support plate 3310 is fixed to the support part 3200, the arm massage providing part 3100 can move relative to the support part 3200.
[0224] According to one embodiment of this specification, a guide rail 3330 is disposed on the arm massage providing part 3100 and is movably connected to one side of the arm massage part actuator 3320. The guide rail 3330 guides the relative movement of the arm massage providing part 3100 relative to the support part 3200.
[0225] The guide rail 3330 extends and is fixed inside the arm massage providing part 3100 adjacent to and on the lower surface 3107 through hole 3107a. The guide rail 3330 is configured to be parallel to the extension direction of the arm massage part actuator 3320 and the movement direction of the arm massage providing part 3100.
[0226] The second bracket 3105, which is coupled to the other end of the arm massage actuator 3320, is configured to be spaced apart from the guide rail 3330 on the rear side of the guide rail 3330.
[0227] One side of the arm massage actuator is movably connected to the guide rail 3330. For example, when the arm massage actuator 3320 extends, the other side of the arm massage actuator 3320 moves in the direction of increasing length relative to one side, and the arm massage providing part 3100 moves together with the guide rail 3330 relative to one side of the arm massage actuator 3320.
[0228] According to one embodiment of this specification, one side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is connected to the guide rail 3330 via a support plate 3310. However, it is not limited to this; for example, the support plate 3310 is fixed to the main body located on one side of the arm massage actuator 3320, and the other end of the arm massage actuator 3320 can be directly connected to the guide rail 3330 in a relatively movable manner.
[0229] Referring to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment in which one side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is connected to the guide rail 3330 via a support plate 3310 will be described.
[0230] One side of the arm massage actuator 3320 is disposed on one surface of the upper portion 3312 of the support plate 3310, and one end of the actuator is connected by a first bracket 3315. The guide rail 3330 is disposed on the other surface of the support plate 3310.
[0231] A guide block 3340 is attached to the other surface of the support plate 3310 opposite to the guide rail 3330.
[0232] The guide block 3340 attached to the support plate 3310 guides the movement of the guide rail 3330. For this purpose, the guide block 3340 is inserted to allow relative movement of the guide rail 3330. Therefore, the guide rail 3330 can move while supported by the guide block 3340.
[0233] The guide block 3340 is formed to fit into the track protrusions 3331 that protrude from the upper and lower parts of the guide rail 3330 toward the support plate 3310. In the guide block 3340, the upper guide block and the lower guide block form a guide block unit.
[0234] The guide block 3340 can be formed in the shape of an upper guide block and a lower guide block connected to the upper and lower parts of the guide rail 3330. In this case, one guide block 3340 forms a guide block unit.
[0235] When the guide block is formed separately to form the upper and lower guide blocks, it is advantageous to configure the guide block 3340 according to the design of the guide rail 3330 and to facilitate assembly. The guide block 3340 can be fixed to the other side surface of the support plate 3310 by fastening members.
[0236] According to one embodiment of this specification, one or more guide block units are disposed on a guide rail and spaced apart along the length of the guide rail.
[0237] Reference Figure 10 As can be seen, the four guide blocks 3340 form two guide block units and are spaced apart along the length of the guide rail 3330. When at least two guide block units are provided, even if a lateral load is generated on the arm massage providing part 3100, the support plate 3310 and the guide rail 3330 remain parallel to each other, thereby helping to prevent wobbling.
[0238] In addition, since the guide block 3340 is fitted into the guide rail 3330, the arm massage providing part 3100 that is combined with the guide rail 3330 can be stably supported by the support plate 3310 and the support part 3200 that fixes the support plate 3310.
[0239] According to one embodiment of this specification, when the arm massage actuator 3320 is driven by a motor to pull the rod 3323 outward, thereby extending the arm massage actuator 3320, the guide rail 3330 moves while supporting the arm massage providing part 3100. The guide rail 3330 is supported and moves by the guide block 3340 of the support plate 3310. That is, when the arm massage actuator 3320 extends, the guide rail 3330 moves, thereby guiding the movement of the arm massage providing part 3100.
[0240] The arm massage actuator 3320 is controlled by the control unit 300. Furthermore, an encoder for detecting the rotation of the motor can be installed in the arm massage actuator 3320. Therefore, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage actuator 3320 simultaneously by detecting its extension and retraction length, speed, etc.
[0241] The movement of the arm massage provider 3100 is determined by the extension direction of the arm massage actuator 3320 and the extension direction of the guide rail 3330, and the arm massage provider 3100 can be supported by the connection between the guide rail 3330 and the support plate 3310. Since the support plate 3310 supports the load of the arm massage provider 3100, the load can be distributed even if the support portion 3200 is not in direct contact with the arm massage provider 3100 or is in direct contact with it. Therefore, the entire load of the arm massage provider 3100 is applied between the upper surface 3210 of the support portion 3200 and the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage provider 3100, and noise and appearance damage can be minimized compared to the case where movement is guided by direct contact.
[0242] The arm massage unit 3000 according to this specification includes a first arm massage unit 3000a disposed on one side of the body massage unit and a second arm massage unit 3000b disposed on the other side of the body massage unit (see reference). Figure 3 ).
[0243] Since the movement of the first arm massage providing part 3100a in the first arm massage part 3000a relative to the first support part 3200a and the movement of the second arm massage providing part 3100b in the second arm massage part 3000b relative to the second support part 3200b are performed by arm massage part drive modules, such as arm massage part actuators, respectively provided in the first arm massage part 3000a and the second arm massage part 3000b, they move independently of each other. Therefore, the first arm massage providing part 3100a and the second arm massage providing part 3100b move in opposite directions or move by different distances, thereby performing specific actions in stretching mode or massage mode.
[0244] The independent movement of the arm massage unit 3100 according to this instruction manual, i.e., the movement control, enables the execution of various massage or stretching modes.
[0245] The movement of the support portion 3200 relative to the arm massage providing portion 3100 is performed independently by an arm massage driving module 3300, such as an arm massage actuator 3320, which movably connects the support portion 3200 and the arm massage providing portion 3100. Furthermore, the movement between the arm massage providing portion 3100 and the backrest 1000a, seat portion 1000b, and leg massage portion 2000 is constrained and not mechanically connected. For example, the arm massage providing portion 3100 can be movably connected relative to the support portion 3200, and can be configured not to be directly connected to the backrest 1000a, seat portion 1000b, or leg massage portion 2000. Therefore, in the arm massage unit 3000, the movement of the arm massage providing unit 3100 is independent of the angle adjustment of the back 1000a via the back angle actuator 1630 (i.e., back angle adjustment), the angle adjustment of the seat 1000b via the seat angle actuator 1620 (i.e., seat angle adjustment), and the leg angle adjustment via the leg angle actuator 1640, and can be performed independently.
[0246] Therefore, taking a stretching motion as an example, the arm airbag 3112 of the arm receiving groove 3110 can inflate and fix the user's arm. In this state, when the posture changes to a tilting mode, causing the back 1000a to rotate backward and downward, the arm receiving groove 3110 can remain in a state where the user's arm is fixed. Thus, the user's back is separated from the back 1000a, and the arm is in a pulled state. This allows for arm stretching movements.
[0247] After performing the predetermined arm stretching action, when the arm massage providing part 3100 moves backward and downward relative to the support part 3200, that is, when the arm massage providing part 3100 moves from the first position to the second position, the user's back can rest against the backrest 1000a again. As the user's shoulders descend in the tilt mode of the backrest 1000a, the user's arms move backward and to a lower position, thus achieving an overall comfortable position.
[0248] According to this specification, since the arm massage actuator 3320 moves independently without being mechanically constrained by the leg angle adjustment, backrest seat angle and / or seat angle adjustment, the above-mentioned actions can be performed.
[0249] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of this specification, the movement of the support portion 3200 relative to the arm massage providing portion 3100 is associated with the length and angle adjustment movement of the first leg massage portion 2000a and the second leg massage portion 2000b, and can operate independently to achieve various movement modes. For example, when the first leg massage portion 2000a and the second leg massage portion 2000b of the leg massage portion 2000 are adjusted to different lengths and different leg angles in a walking mode, the first arm massage providing portion 3100a and the second arm massage providing portion 3100b are associated with the movement of the first leg massage portion 2000a and the second leg massage portion 2000b and can move independently, thereby achieving a movement more suitable for the walking mode.
[0250] Figure 11 This is a diagram of the sensor section of the arm massage section of a massage device used to illustrate an embodiment of this specification.
[0251] According to one embodiment of this specification, the arm massage providing part 3100 of the arm massage part 3000 may be provided with sensors 3401, 3402, 3403 for preventing safety accidents caused by the movement of the arm massage providing part 3100 or other parts of the massage device 100, such as the body massage part 1000.
[0252] When the arm massage providing part 3100 moves relative to the body massage part 1000 and / or the support part 3200, a jamming accident may occur between the arm massage providing part 3100 and the body massage part 1000 and / or the support part 3200. The jamming accident may occur because the user's body, clothing or other objects get stuck between the arm massage providing part 3100 and other parts.
[0253] In addition, when the arm massage unit 3000 moves backward, a collision may occur with the arm massage unit 3100.
[0254] To detect this, at least one or all of the rear surface 3106, lower surface 3107 and front surface 3108 of the arm massage providing part 3100 are equipped with sensors.
[0255] According to one embodiment of this specification, the sensor may be an electrostatic sensor.
[0256] A first sensor 3401 is disposed on the rear surface 3106 of the arm massage providing part 3100 facing inward toward the upper body 3102. The first sensor 3401 may be a contact detection sensor that detects object contact to prevent collision accidents, and it is formed as an electrostatic sensor.
[0257] The first sensor 3401 extends in a partially curved shape corresponding to the ribs used to reinforce the upper body 3102 so as not to interfere with the ribs, and can be configured inside the upper body 3102 in a manner that contacts the rear surface 3106 of the arm massage providing part 3100. Although ribs are formed to reinforce the arm massage providing part 3100, the first sensor 3401 can be configured to contact the inner side of the rear surface 3106.
[0258] The first sensor 3401 detects contact with an object on the rear surface 3106 of the arm massage providing part 3100, thereby preventing accidents caused by collisions. When an object is present in the arm massage providing part 3100 while it is tilted downward relative to the support part 3200, the first sensor 3401 detects the static electricity of the object, and the massage device 100 can stop operating and output a warning sound.
[0259] The second sensor 3402 is configured to detect an object stuck between the inclined surface forming the lower surface 3107 and the inclined surface forming the upper surface of the support portion 3200 on the lower side of the arm massage providing portion 3100. The second sensor 3402 can be formed as an electrostatic sensor. The second sensor 3402 is configured to contact the lower surface 3107 on the inner side of the upper body 3102 of the arm massage providing portion 3100. The second sensor 3402 can be configured on the rear portion of the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage providing portion 3100. When the arm massage providing portion 3100 moves downward relative to the support portion 3200, an object is detected stuck between the inclined surfaces of the arm massage providing portion 3100 and the support portion 3200 along the movement path of the arm massage providing portion 3100. Similar to the first sensor 3401, the second sensor 3402 can extend in a shape that partially bends to correspond to the ribs used to reinforce the upper body 3102 so as not to interfere with the ribs. Therefore, although a rib for reinforcement is formed on the lower surface 3107 of the arm massage providing part 3100, the second sensor 3402 can be configured to contact the inside of the rear surface 3107.
[0260] The third sensor 3403 is configured to detect an object stuck between the inclined surface forming the lower surface 3107 and the inclined surface forming the upper surface of the support portion 3200 on the front side of the arm massage providing portion 3100. The third sensor 3403 can be configured as an electrostatic sensor. The third sensor 3403 is disposed inside the upper body 3102 of the arm massage providing portion 3100 and contacts the lower end of the front surface 3108. When the arm massage providing portion 3100 tilts upward relative to the support portion 3200, an object is detected stuck between the inclined surfaces of the arm massage providing portion 3100 and the support portion 3200 along the movement path of the arm massage providing portion 3100.
[0261] Figure 12This diagram illustrates the connection between the arm massage section and the body massage section of the massage device described in this manual. Figure 13 It is used for explanation Figure 12 The diagram shows the joint structure and assembly method of the joint. Figure 12 Part (a) shows the front joint. Figure 12 Part (b) shows the intermediate joint. Figure 12 Part (c) shows the rear joint.
[0262] According to one embodiment of this specification, the arm massage unit 3000 is disposed on the side of the body massage unit 1000 such that a support unit 3200 is attached to the side of the frame of the body massage unit 1000. The frame of the body massage unit 1000 may be a base frame 1300.
[0263] The joint between the support portion 3200 and the frame of the body massage portion 1000, such as the base frame 1300, includes front connecting portions P1 and P2, middle connecting portion P3 and rear connecting portion P4.
[0264] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 In part (a), front connecting parts P1 and P2 are formed on the front side of the base frame 1300.
[0265] The base frame 1300 has a connecting frame 1302 on its front side, and the connecting frame 1302 extends upward. The connecting frame 1302 can form the side of the frame of the body massage part 1000.
[0266] The first fastening port 1303 and the second fastening port 1304 protrude toward the front side of the frame of the body massage part 1000, such as the base frame 1300. The first fastening port 1303 forms the front joint portion P1 and is formed to protrude forward from the upper part of the joint frame 1302. The second fastening port 1304 forms the front joint portion P2 and is formed to be spaced apart from the first fastening portion 1303 and protrude forward.
[0267] A fastening hole for fastening a bolt is formed on the inner surface 3203 of the support portion 3200, corresponding to the positions of the first fastening port 1303 and the second fastening port 1304. The bolt is fastened with the first fastening port 1303 and the second fastening port 1034 aligned with the fastening hole, thereby performing the assembly of the front joint portions P1 and P2.
[0268] Since the front joints P1 and P2 are shaped to be exposed to the outside from the front side of the massage device 100, bolt tightening can be easily performed.
[0269] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13In part (b), the intermediate joint P3 can be formed in the frame of the body massage part 1000, such as the middle part of the side of the base frame 1300.
[0270] A first insertion bracket 1310 is provided on the support shaft frame 1320 formed on the side of the frame of the body massage part 1000, such as the middle part of the side of the base frame 1300, facing the inner surface 3203 of the support part 3200. Correspondingly, a connecting protrusion 3205 protrudes from the middle part of the inner surface 3203 of the support part 3200.
[0271] The first insertion bracket 1310, provided in the support shaft frame 1320, has a first engaging groove 1311 that opens at its upper end. The opening of the first engaging groove 1311 is tapered, widening upwards. The two sides of the first insertion bracket 1310 are curved toward the support shaft frame 1320 of the base frame 1300. Therefore, the first insertion bracket 1310 is formed in the shape of a pocket in which the outer end of the engaging protrusion 3205 formed in the middle of the inner surface of the support portion 3200 is received.
[0272] The protrusion 3205 is formed in the middle of the inner surface of the support portion 3200 corresponding to the first insertion bracket 1310, and is inserted into the first engagement groove 1311.
[0273] The protrusion 3205 forms a recess 3205a that is partially recessed into the first engagement groove 1311. Therefore, when the protrusion 3205 is placed in the opening of the first engagement groove 1311 of the first insertion bracket 1310, the protrusion 3205 is guided to the first engagement groove 1311, and the recess 3205a engages with the inside of the first engagement groove 1311.
[0274] Participation Figure 12 and Figure 13 In part (c), the rear joint P4 is adjacent to the middle joint P3 and is formed on the rear side below the middle joint P3.
[0275] The rear joint P4 is formed from the middle of the base frame 1300 and the inner surface 3203 of the support 3200 of the body massage part 1000, and a tool is inserted from the rear of the massage device 100 to achieve final fixation, and is called the rear joint P4.
[0276] The rear joint P4 includes a fastening member 1315 and a second insertion bracket 3206 that engages with the fastening member 1315.
[0277] A rear surface fastening hole 1322 is formed on the lower rear surface of the support shaft frame 1320 of the frame of the body massage part 1000, such as the base frame 1300, and a fastening member 1315 is engaged in the rear surface fastening hole 1322.
[0278] The fastening member 1315 may include a fastening part 1315a, an enlarged diameter part 1315b, and a head 1315c. The fastening part 1315a is threaded onto a fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface.
[0279] The fastening member 1315 has a first fastening depth where the fastening part 1315a is loosely fastened to the fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface and a second fastening depth where the fastening part 1315a is tightly fastened to the fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface.
[0280] The second insertion bracket 3206 protrudes from the middle of the inner surface 3203 of the support portion 3200 toward the rearward and lower part of the engagement protrusion 3205. The second insertion bracket 3206 protrudes to extend intersecting the inner surface 3203 of the support portion 3200 and has a second engagement groove 3206a for the fastening member 1315 to be inserted.
[0281] Compared to the first engagement groove 1311 of the first insertion bracket 1310, the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 is formed with a different opening direction. The first engagement groove 1311 of the first insertion bracket 1310 opens upward, while the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 opens downward.
[0282] The opening of the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 is formed to guide the fastening portion 1315a of the fastening member 1315 to the inside of the second engagement groove 3206a. The inner groove of the second engagement groove 3206a is formed to correspond to the enlarged diameter portion 1315b of the fastening member 1315.
[0283] With the fastening member 1315 loosely assembled at the first fastening depth, the fastening part 1315a is inserted into the inner groove of the second mating groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206, thus maintaining a loosely assembled state. Subsequently, when the fastening member 1315 is tightly fastened at the second fastening depth, the enlarged diameter part 1315b of the fastening member 1315 can penetrate deep into the inner groove of the second mating groove 3206a and be securely fixed.
[0284] Therefore, a chamfer can be formed between the enlarged diameter portion 1315b and the fastening portion 1315a of the fastening member 1315, so that the diameter gradually increases. Therefore, when the fastening member 1315 is fastened in the first fastening depth state where it is loosely assembled, it is in the second fastening depth state, and the rear joint P4 can be firmly fastened and shaking is prevented.
[0285] The following describes the assembly method of the support part 3200 and the base frame 1300 of the arm massage part 3000.
[0286] In the massage device 100, the arm massage unit 3000 is fixed to the side of the body massage unit 1000. With the seat unit 1000b and the backrest 1000a assembled on the upper part of the base frame 1300, the support unit 3200 can be fixed to the base frame 1300.
[0287] Since the rear joint P4 is obscured by the support 3200 and the body massage unit 1000, assembly is difficult to perform using simple bolt fastening. The fastening positions are difficult to visually confirm and not easily aligned, thus increasing the difficulty of assembly.
[0288] According to one embodiment of this specification, firstly, at the position of the rear joint P4, the fastening member 1315 is loosely assembled into the fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface of the support shaft frame 1320.
[0289] Subsequently, the insertion assembly of the first insertion bracket 1310 and the coupling protrusion 3205 is performed at the position of the intermediate joint P3, and the insertion assembly of the second insertion bracket 3206 and the fastening member 1315 is performed at the position of the rear joint P4.
[0290] At the rear joint P4, the fastening member 1315 is inserted into the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 and aligned by hooking it in place. Then, using a longer tool at the rear of the massage device 100, the fastening member 1315 is tightened and secured at the rear joint P4. At this time, the enlarged diameter portion 1315b of the fastening member 1315 can be pressed into the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 and securely engaged.
[0291] Since the head 1315c of the fastening member 1315 of the rear joint faces the rear of the massage device 100, the assembly of the rear joint P4 can be completed by a simple action of tightening with a longer tool.
[0292] Subsequently, at the positions serving as the front joints P1 and P2, the support 3200 and the front of the base frame 1300 are secured with fastening bolts via the first fastening port 1303 and the second fastening port 1304 of the base frame 1300.
[0293] According to one embodiment of this specification, since the assembly of the second insertion bracket 3206 and the fastening member 1315 at the rear joint P4 is performed by the insertion guidance of the first insertion bracket 1310 and the coupling protrusion 3205 at the position of the intermediate joint P3, the fastening position at the rear joint P4 is set, that is, the engagement of the fastening member 1315 and the second insertion bracket 3206 is relatively easy.
[0294] In addition, at the rear joint P4, which is difficult to assemble, the fastening member 1315 can be tightened relatively easily with tools because the load of the support 3200 is not concentrated on the fastening member 1315 but distributed.
[0295] According to embodiments of this specification, in the combined structure of the base frame and the arm massage part, the structure of the arm massage providing part that moves obliquely relative to the support part is not limited, and can be applied to an arm massage part in which the arm massage providing part and the support part are fixed relative to each other.
[0296] The control of the rolling stretching mode of a massage device according to an embodiment of this specification will be described below. However, since the driving method of each component has already been described above, the description will not be repeated when describing the control of the rolling stretching mode according to this specification.
[0297] As described above, the massage device 100 may include: a body massage unit 1000, including a back frame 1210 whose angle with the ground changes; an arm massage unit 3000 connected to both sides of the body massage unit 1000; and a control unit 300 for controlling the body massage unit 1000 and the arm massage unit 3000.
[0298] As described above, the arm massage unit 3000 may include: a support unit 3200; and an arm massage providing unit 3100, located above the support unit 3200 and movable along the support unit 3200. More specifically, the arm massage providing unit 3100 may be movable along the upper surface 3210 of the support unit 3200.
[0299] When the rolling stretching action is controlled according to this specification, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 and the back frame 1210 to move away from each other.
[0300] When the rolling stretching action is controlled according to this specification, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 and the back 1000a to move away from each other.
[0301] As described above, since the back 1000a moves according to the movement of the back frame 1210, the movement of the back frame 1210 and the movement of the back 1000a can be corresponding to each other.
[0302] That is, the arm massage providing part 3100 and the back frame 1210 being far apart from each other can mean that the arm massage providing part 3100 and the back 1000a are far apart from each other.
[0303] Additionally, as described above, the massage device 100 may further include a leg massage unit 2000 connected to one end of the body massage unit 1000 and having an angle that changes with the ground. When controlling the rolling and stretching motion according to this specification, the control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to achieve a preset leg angle based on the positions of the back frame 1210 and the arm massage providing unit 3100.
[0304] Figure 14 This is a reference diagram showing the backrest angle and seat angle in this instruction manual.
[0305] exist Figure 14 In this context, the straight line 1210', representing a direction parallel to the back 1000a, can refer to a virtual line representing the back frame 1210. Figure 14 In the diagram, the straight line 11000 at the lower part of the massage device 100 can refer to a virtual line representing the ground. The back angle can refer to the angle 1211' between the virtual line 1210' representing the back frame 1210 and the virtual line 11000 representing the ground. The back frame 1210 can be an obtuse angle rotated clockwise with respect to the ground.
[0306] The back angle can be at its minimum in the sitting mode. The sitting mode can refer to the basic state of the massage device 100. The sitting mode can be the state where the back angle is at its minimum.
[0307] The back angle can have a maximum value in the tilt mode. The tilt mode can be the state where the back angle is at its maximum. In addition, the back frame 1210 can rotate backward in the sitting mode and have various back angles between the minimum and maximum values.
[0308] exist Figure 14 In this context, the dashed line can refer to a virtual line 1250' extending along the length of the seat frame 1250. The seat angle can refer to the angle 1251' formed by the dashed line and the virtual line representing the ground. The seat frame 1250 can form an acute angle rotating clockwise with respect to the ground.
[0309] The seat angle can have a minimum value in the sitting mode and a maximum value in the reclining mode. Additionally, the seat angle can have various angle values between the minimum and maximum values.
[0310] The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 and the arm massage provider 3100 to move away from each other. According to one embodiment, the arm massage provider 3100 can be moved away from the back frame 1210; according to another embodiment, the back frame 1210 can also be moved away from the arm massage provider 3100.
[0311] Figure 15 This is a reference diagram of the upward rolling motion in a rolling stretching mode according to an embodiment of this specification.
[0312] Reference Figure 15 With the back frame 1210 at any angle to the ground, the control unit 300 moves the arm massage providing part 3100 towards the front and above the support part 3200, thereby controlling the arm massage providing part 3100 and the back frame 1210 to move away from each other. With the back frame 1210 at any angle to the ground, the control unit 300 moves the arm massage providing part 3100 towards the front and above the support part 3200, thereby controlling the arm massage providing part 3100 and the back 1000a to move away from each other.
[0313] The control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to roll up away from the back frame 1210. First, the control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to form any angle with the ground. Preferably, the arbitrary back angle can be a maximum value. With the back frame 1210 at an arbitrary angle with the ground, the control unit 300 can move the arm massage providing part 3100 forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. This movement of the arm massage providing part 3100 forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200 can mean that the arm massage providing part 3100 tilts upward relative to the support part 3200.
[0314] As an example, the massage device 100 can perform the rolling upward motion in the tilt mode. In the tilt mode, the arm massage provider 3100 can be located rearward and below the upper surface 3210 of the support 3200. The control unit 300 can move the arm massage provider 3100 forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support 3200, away from the back frame 1210. This corresponds to an example that the rolling upward motion can be performed not only in the tilt mode, but also in various postures.
[0315] According to one embodiment of this specification, the arm massage providing unit 3100 may include an arm airbag 3112 disposed inside the arm massage providing unit 3100. The control unit 300 may control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate before or simultaneously with moving the arm massage providing unit 3100. Preferably, the control unit 300 may send a signal to the air supply unit to cause the arm airbag 3112 located in the arm receiving groove 3110 to inflate before controlling the rolling upward movement.
[0316] The control unit 300 can be controlled such that the arm airbag 3112 inflates before or simultaneously with moving the arm massage providing part 3100 toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200.
[0317] After the arm massage providing part 3100 moves forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200, the control part 300 can rotate (or tilt) the back frame 1210 to reduce the back angle. While the arm massage providing part 3100 is moving forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200, the control part 300 rotates the back frame 1210 after a preset time.
[0318] Alternatively, when the arm massage providing part 3100 moves forward and above the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200, the control part 300 can instantly rotate the back frame 1210.
[0319] The user can receive an arm stretching effect from the massage device 100 through the rolling upward motion. However, when the user receives the rolling upward motion from the massage device 100, the arm is pulled, thus separating the body from the back 1000a. Therefore, in the case of a user with weak abdominal muscles, the arm, shoulder, abdomen, waist, etc., may be injured. During the rolling upward motion, the control unit 300 controls the back frame 1210 so that the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame 1210 move closer together after moving away from each other, thereby preventing injury to the user.
[0320] Figure 16 This is a reference diagram of an additional action of the rolling upward action in one embodiment of this specification.
[0321] Reference Figure 16 When the arm massage providing part 3100 and the back frame 1210 are far apart from each other, the control part 300 can control the angle formed by the back frame 1210 and the ground to be changed to an angle relatively smaller than any arbitrary angle. For example... Figure 15As shown, when the arm massage provider 3100 is moved forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support 3200, the control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 and the arm massage provider 3100 to move closer together. When the arm massage provider 3100 is fixed, the control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210, thereby reducing the back angle.
[0322] Figure 17 This is a reference diagram of the downward rolling motion in a rolling stretching mode according to an embodiment of this specification.
[0323] Reference Figure 17 The control unit 300 tilts (rotates) the back frame to increase the angle between the back frame 1210 and the ground, thereby controlling the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame 1210 to move away from each other. The control unit 300 tilts (rotates) the back frame to increase the angle between the back frame 1210 and the ground, thereby controlling the arm massage provider 3100 and the back 1000a to move away from each other.
[0324] The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to roll away from the arm massage provider 3100. First, the arm massage provider 3100 can be located at any position on the upper surface 3210 of the support 3200. Preferably, this arbitrary position can be above and in front of the upper surface 3210 of the support 3200. Additionally, the back angle can be relatively smaller than the back angle in the tilt mode. The control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210 backward while the arm massage provider 3100 is fixed in any position. The control unit 300 can control the back angle to be increased by rotating the back frame 1210. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 so that the massage device 100 is in the tilt mode. Alternatively, the control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 so that the back angle is relatively smaller than the back angle in the tilt mode. Therefore, the rolling downward motion does not necessarily require rotating the back frame 1210 so that the massage device 100 must be in the tilt mode, and various embodiments may occur depending on the position of the arm massage providing part 3100.
[0325] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate before or simultaneously with tilting (rotating) the back frame 1210. The control unit 300 can also control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate before or simultaneously with controlling the rolling downward movement.
[0326] The control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate before or simultaneously with tilting (rotating) the back frame 1210 to increase the back angle.
[0327] Preferably, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate before tilting (rotating) the back frame 1210.
[0328] Figure 18 This is a reference diagram of an additional action of the scrolling downward action in one embodiment of this specification.
[0329] Reference Figure 18 After the tilting action of the back frame 1210 is completed, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame 1210 to move closer to each other by moving the arm massage provider 3100 rearward and downward. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame 1210 to move closer to each other after the rotation action of the back frame 1210 is completed. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage provider 3100 to move rearward and downward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support portion 3200 while the back frame 1210 is fixed. The movement of the arm massage provider 3100 toward the upper surface 3210 of the support portion 3200 rearward and downward can mean that the arm massage provider 3100 tilts downward relative to the support portion 3200. After a preset time has elapsed since the rotation of the back frame 1210 is completed, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage supply unit 3100 to move backward and downward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support unit 3200.
[0330] Alternatively, when the rotation of the back frame 1210 is completed, the control unit 300 can immediately control the arm massage provider 3100 to move backward and downward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support 3200. The user can receive an arm stretching effect from the massage device 100 through the rolling downward motion. However, when the user receives the rolling downward motion from the massage device 100, pulling the arm can separate the body from the back 1000a. Therefore, in the case of a user with weak abdominal muscles, injuries may occur to the arms, shoulders, abdomen, waist, etc. During the rolling downward motion, the control unit 300 controls the arm massage provider 3100 so that the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame 1210 immediately move closer together after moving away from each other, thereby preventing user injury.
[0331] When a user is seated in the massage device 100 and receiving the rolling stretching mode, the control unit 300 can control the user's arm, which is accommodated in the arm receiving groove 3110, to be fixed by inflating the arm airbag 3112 before the action of the rolling stretching mode.
[0332] During the upward rolling motion, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support unit 3200, with the user's arm fixed in the arm receiving groove 3110. When the arm massage providing unit 3100 moves with the user's arm fixed in the arm receiving groove 3110, the massage device 100 can provide a stretching effect to the muscles around the user's scapula and thoracic spine.
[0333] The arm airbag 3112 secures the user's arm by inflating before or during the rolling upward motion, thus increasing stretching accuracy and effectiveness compared to before securing the user's arm.
[0334] Furthermore, through the rolling upward motion, the massage device 100 can guide the user's abdominal muscle movements. When the arm massage providing part 3100 moves away from the back frame 1210, the user's upper body can be separated from the back 1000a. When the user's upper body is separated from the back 1000a, the user can lift their upper body off the back 1000a using the strength of their abdominal muscles. Therefore, the massage device 100 can guide the user's abdominal muscle movements through the rolling upward motion.
[0335] The arm airbag 3112 secures the user's arm by inflating before or during the rolling upward motion, allowing the arm massage provider 3100 to pull the user's arm. As the user's arm is pulled by the arm massage provider 3100, the user's upper body is separated from the back 1000a. At this time, the abdominal muscle force required to lift the upper body from the back 1000a is relatively reduced as the user pulls their arm by the arm massage provider 3100. This means a relatively reduced load on the user's abdominal muscles. Therefore, even users with weaker abdominal muscles can safely receive stretching movements from the massage device 100.
[0336] Furthermore, the control unit 300 controls the back frame 1210 such that the back angle decreases after the arm massage providing unit 3100 moves forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support unit 3200, thus preventing the user's shoulders from falling off the back frame 1000a. Additionally, the back of users with weak abdominal muscles is supported by the back frame 1000a, thereby preventing spinal injuries.
[0337] The user can receive an arm stretching effect from the massage device 100 through the rolling upward motion. However, when the user receives the rolling upward motion from the massage device 100, the arm is pulled, thus separating the body from the back 1000a. Therefore, in the case of a user with weak abdominal muscles, the arm, shoulder, abdomen, waist, etc., may be injured. During the rolling upward motion, the control unit 300 controls the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame 1210 to immediately move closer to each other after they have moved away from each other, thereby preventing injury to the user.
[0338] Furthermore, during the downward rolling motion, the control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210 while the user's arm is fixed in the arm receiving groove 3110. The control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210, increasing the back angle while the user's arm is fixed in the arm receiving groove 3110. The rotation of the back frame 1210 while the user's arm is fixed in the arm receiving groove 3110 allows the massage device 100 to stimulate the user's abdominal and hamstring muscles.
[0339] The arm airbag 3112 secures the user's arm by inflating before or during the rolling downward motion, thus increasing stretching accuracy and effectiveness compared to before securing the user's arm.
[0340] Furthermore, through the rolling downward motion, the massage device 100 can guide the user's abdominal muscle movements. When the back frame 1210 moves away from the arm massage providing part 3100, the user's upper body can be separated from the back 1000a. When the user's upper body is separated from the back 1000a, the user can be guided to maintain an elevated upper body position using the strength of their abdominal muscles. Therefore, the massage device 100 can guide the user's abdominal muscle movements through the rolling downward motion.
[0341] The arm airbag 3112 can secure the user's arm by inflating before or during the rolling downward motion. Since the user's arm is secured by the arm massage provider 3100, the abdominal muscle force required to lift the user's upper body can be relatively reduced. This means that the load applied to the user's abdominal muscles is relatively reduced. Therefore, even users with weaker abdominal muscles can safely receive stretching movements from the massage device 100.
[0342] Furthermore, the control unit 300 controls the arm massage provider 3100 to move backward and downward after the rotation of the back frame 1210 is completed, thereby preventing the user's shoulders from falling off the back 1000a. Additionally, the back of a user with weak abdominal muscles is supported by the back 1000a, thus preventing spinal injury. The user can receive an arm stretching effect from the massage device 100 through the rolling downward motion. However, when the user receives the rolling downward motion from the massage device 100, pulling the arms separates the body from the back 1000a. Therefore, in the case of a user with weak abdominal muscles, injuries to the arms, shoulders, abdomen, and waist are possible. During the rolling downward motion, the control unit 300 controls the arm massage provider 3100 to immediately move closer together after the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame 1210 have moved away from each other, thereby preventing user injury.
[0343] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can adjust the degree to which the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame 1210 are separated from each other based on information related to the user's body characteristics. The control unit 300 can adjust the position of the arm massage provider 3100 using a value output from the encoder in the arm massage actuator 3320.
[0344] The control unit 300 can acquire the shoulder position information of the seated user from the sensor unit 310. The control unit 300 can use the shoulder position information to acquire information related to the user's height and other body characteristics while seated.
[0345] Alternatively, the sensor unit 310 can acquire personal authentication information such as fingerprint information, facial information, voice information, and iris information of the seated user. Information related to the user's physical characteristics corresponding to the personal authentication information can be pre-stored in the memory 330. The control unit 300 can receive the personal authentication information from the sensor unit 310 and retrieve information related to the user's physical characteristics from the memory 330.
[0346] Alternatively, the user can input their height using the input unit 350. The control unit 300 can receive the user's height information from the input unit 350.
[0347] Figure 19 This is a reference diagram showing the position standard of the arm massage providing part according to one embodiment of this specification.
[0348] Reference Figure 19 The arm massage providing part 3100 may be located at the very bottom of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. For example... Figure 19As shown, point A, the lowest point of the arm massage providing unit 3100, can be located at the lowest point of the upper surface 3210 of the support unit 3200. The control unit 300 can adjust the position of point A based on information related to the body characteristics. Hereinafter, the position of the arm massage providing unit 3100 will be described based on the position of point A.
[0349] As an example, the control unit 300 can adjust the position of the arm massage providing unit 3100 according to the user's height. In the case of the first user, the height can be 180cm. In the case of the second user, the height can be 175cm. In the case of the third user, the height can be 165cm.
[0350] The first user can sit on the massage device 100 to receive the rolling stretching mode.
[0351] During the rolling upward motion, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200 in the tilt mode. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be positioned at the foremost position on the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200 compared to when the second user and the third user receive the rolling upward motion.
[0352] During the rolling-down motion, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be positioned at the foremost point of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200 compared to when the second and third users receive the rolling-down motion. Afterwards, the control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210 to maximize the back angle.
[0353] The second user can sit in the massage device 100 and receive a rolling stretching mode.
[0354] During the rolling upward motion, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200 in the tilt mode. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be located behind the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200 compared to when the first user receives the rolling upward motion.
[0355] During the rolling downward motion, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be positioned behind the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200 compared to when the first user receives the rolling downward motion. Afterward, the control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210 so that the back angle reaches its maximum value.
[0356] The third user can sit on the massage device 100 and receive a rolling stretching mode.
[0357] During the upward rolling motion, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support unit 3200 in the tilt mode. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 to be located at the rearmost position relative to the upper surface 3210 of the support unit 3200.
[0358] During the downward rolling motion, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be positioned relative to the rearmost part of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. Afterwards, the control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210 to maximize the back angle. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the back angle.
[0359] According to another embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can adjust the degree of distance between the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame based on information related to the body characteristics of a user sitting in the massage device 100, according to a plurality of preset levels. The memory 330 can store the plurality of preset levels based on the information related to the body characteristics. The memory 330 can also store the position value of the arm massage provider 3100 according to each of the preset levels.
[0360] As an example, a user's height of 180cm or above corresponds to Level 1. A user's height between 170cm and 180cm corresponds to Level 2. A user's height between 160cm and 170cm corresponds to Level 3. A user's height between 150cm and 160cm corresponds to Level 4. A user's height below 150cm corresponds to Level 5. This is just one example and is not limited by the stated level criteria and number.

[0391] During the rolling downward motion, the control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210 to minimize the back angle.
[0392] In this specification, the position of the arm massage providing part 3100 is described with reference to point A, but this corresponds to an example and does not mean that the position of the arm massage providing part 3100 must be determined with reference to point A.
[0393] The following describes the overall process of a rolling stretching mode according to an embodiment of this specification.
[0394] Figure 20 This is a flowchart of a rolling stretching mode according to an embodiment of this specification.
[0395] Reference Figure 20 In step S10, the massage device 100 can output statements related to rolling and stretching to the display in the seated mode. Additionally, the massage device 100 can output voice guidance messages via the audio output module 1500. The seated mode minimizes the back angle.
[0396] At this time, the arm massage providing part 3100 can be located at the foremost upper side of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. Alternatively, the arm massage providing part 3100 can be located at a preset first position based on information related to the user's body characteristics. The first position can refer to the position where the arm massage providing part 3100 can move the furthest point from the rearmost lower side of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200 based on the information related to the body characteristics. The first position can also refer to the position where the arm massage providing part 3100 moves the maximum distance from the rearmost lower side of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200 based on the information related to the body characteristics.
[0397] The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to be in the tilt mode to perform the rolling stretching mode operation.
[0398] The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to change the back angle to the maximum back angle. The control unit 300 can also control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be located at the very bottom of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200.
[0399] Additionally, the control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to achieve a preset leg position based on the back angle and the position of the arm massage unit 3100. The sitting mode can refer to a state where the leg massage unit 2000 does not rotate. The sitting mode can also refer to a state where the leg angle adjustment unit 2110 does not rotate around a rotation axis connected to the base frame 1300. In the sitting mode, the leg angle can correspond to the minimum leg angle. The leg angle can have the maximum leg angle in the tilt mode. In the rolling stretching mode, the control unit 300 controls the rotation of the leg massage unit 2000, so users receiving the rolling stretching mode can receive greater stimulation to their abdominal muscles.
[0400] In step S11, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform a rolling upward motion. The control unit 300 can also control the arm airbag 3112 provided in the arm massage providing unit 3100 to inflate.
[0401] After the arm airbag 3112 inflates, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. The control unit 300 can also control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be located at a second position on the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. For example, the second position may correspond to a position 40% of the maximum movement distance from the rearmost lower part of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move to the second position within a preset time. The second position is an example, but not limited to that position.
[0402] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to reduce the back angle. The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to reduce the back angle. The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to change the back angle to a first back angle. As an example, the first back angle may refer to a back angle that is 60% of the maximum rotation angle of the back frame 1210. The maximum rotation angle of the back frame 1210 may refer to the angle at which the back frame 1210 needs to rotate to change from the sitting mode to the reclining mode. The first back angle is an example and is not limited to the angle mentioned above.
[0403] In step S12, the control unit 300 can execute the rolling downward action. The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to increase the back angle. The control unit 300 can control the back frame 3100 to change the back angle from the first back angle to the maximum back angle. The control unit 300 can control the back frame 3100 to change from the first back angle to the maximum back angle within a preset time.
[0404] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move rearward and downward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. The control unit 300 can also control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move rearward and downward from a second position on the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200.
[0405] Before performing the rolling downward motion, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to contract. After a preset time has elapsed in the contracted state, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate. After the arm airbag 3112 inflates, the control unit 300 can perform the rolling downward motion.
[0406] In addition, the control unit 300 can control the repeating of the rolling stretching pattern for a preset time.
[0407] Alternatively, the control unit 300 can receive time information input by the user from the input unit 350. The control unit 300 can control the repetition of the user-input time for the scrolling stretching mode.
[0408] Alternatively, the control unit 300 can control the rolling stretching pattern to repeat a preset number of times.
[0409] Alternatively, the control unit 300 can receive repetition count information input by the user from the input unit 350. The control unit 300 can control the repetition of the user-inputted number of repetitions for the scrolling stretching mode.
[0410] In this specification, the rolling stretching mode is described as starting the rolling upward action in the tilt mode, but the rolling upward action does not necessarily start in the tilt mode. Additionally, the rolling stretching mode is described as performing a rolling downward action after the rolling upward action, but this corresponds to an example where the rolling upward action may be performed after the rolling downward action.
[0411] The following describes the overall process of a rolling stretching mode according to another embodiment of this specification.
[0412] Figure 21 This is a flowchart of another embodiment of the rolling stretching mode in this specification.
[0413] Reference Figure 21 According to another embodiment of this specification, the rolling stretching mode may include starting a massage (first massage and second massage), a first rolling upward motion, a second rolling upward motion, a first rolling downward motion, a second rolling downward motion, and ending a massage.
[0414] Figure 22 This is a reference diagram illustrating a plurality of airbags according to one embodiment of this specification. Figure 23 This is a reference diagram illustrating the spacing of the massage module according to one embodiment of this specification. Figure 24 This is a reference diagram illustrating the degree of protrusion of the massage module according to one embodiment of this specification. Figure 25 This is a reference diagram showing the rotation of the seat section according to one embodiment of this specification.
[0415] In step S20, the massage device 100 can output statements regarding rolling stretching to the massage device control device 4000 and / or the display in the seated mode. Additionally, the massage device 100 can output voice guidance messages via the audio output module 1500.
[0416] As an example, a user can sit on the massage device 100 and start the rolling stretching mode using the massage device control device 4000. At this time, a statement such as "Rolling stretching involves pulling or lying down with both arms fixed to the arm airbags 3112. Feel the stretching effect on your back and arms" can be output to the massage device control device 4000 and / or the display. Additionally, the audio output module 1500 can output this statement. This statement corresponds to one example and is not limited to any particular statement.
[0417] Therefore, users can be motivated to strengthen their core muscles through stretching both arms, rolling upwards, and rolling downwards before the rolling stretching exercise.
[0418] At this time, the arm massage providing part 3100 can be located at the foremost upper side of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. Alternatively, the arm massage providing part 3100 can be located at the first position based on information related to the user's body characteristics.
[0419] Preferably, the massage device 100 can be the sitting mode.
[0420] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the execution of a first massage action to relieve the user's tension before the rolling and stretching action. At this time, the first massage action is a massage provided by various structures of the massage device 100, which may be a massage action that massages the entire body of the user.
[0421] The first massage action will be explained below.
[0422] The control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210 and the leg massage unit 2000. As an example, the control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210 by 80% of its maximum rotation angle. The control unit 300 can rotate the leg massage unit 2000 by its maximum leg angle. This is one example, and is not limited to the stated angles.
[0423] Additionally, the control unit 300 can move the arm massage providing unit 3100 backward and downward. As an example, the control unit 300 can move the arm massage providing unit 3100 to a position 20% of the maximum moving distance from the rearmost downward position. This is one example, and is not limited to this position.
[0424] The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210, the leg massage unit 2000, and the arm massage unit 3100 to operate simultaneously or independently.
[0425] Reference Figure 22The massage device 100 may include at least one of the following: first and second shoulder airbags 1001a and 1001b; thigh airbag 1002; first, second, and third calf airbags 2001a, 2001b, and 2001c; first and second foot airbags 2002a and 2002b; and first and second arm airbags 3112a and 3112b. The first and second shoulder airbags 1001a and 1001b, the first, second, and third calf airbags 2001a, 2001b, and 2001c, the first and second foot airbags 2002a and 2002b, and the first and second arm airbags 3112a and 3112b may be disposed on the left and right sides of the massage device 100.
[0426] The body massage unit 1000 may include at least one shoulder airbag 1001a, 100b on the upper side of the back 1000a. A first shoulder airbag 1001a and a second shoulder airbag 1001b may be included on the upper side of the back 1000a. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the number of shoulder airbags.
[0427] The arm massage unit 3000 may include at least one arm airbag 3112. The arm massage unit 3000 may include a first arm airbag 3112a and a second arm airbag 3112b located on one side of the arm massage providing unit 3100. Preferably, the first arm airbag 3112a may be located on the upper side of the arm massage providing unit 3100, and the second arm airbag 3112b may be located on the lower side of the arm massage providing unit 3100. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the number of arm airbags.
[0428] The leg massage unit 2000 may include at least one calf airbag 2001a, 2001b, 2001c and a foot airbag 2002a, 2002b.
[0429] The calf airbags 2001a, 2001b, and 2001c may include: a first calf airbag 2001a located on one side of the calf massage unit; a second calf airbag 2001b located on the other side; and a third calf airbag 2001c located on the rear side. The first calf airbag 2001a and the second calf airbag 2001b may be located at the point where the calf massage unit contacts the side of the calf of the seated user. The third calf airbag 2001c may be located at the point where the calf massage unit contacts the rear surface of the calf of the seated user.
[0430] The foot airbags 2002a and 2002b may include: a first foot airbag 2002a, located on one side of the foot massage unit; and a second foot airbag 2002b, located on the other side. The first foot airbag 2002a and the second foot airbag 2002b may be located at the positions where the foot massage unit contacts the two sides of the instep of the seated user.
[0431] The body massage unit 1000 may include at least one thigh airbag 1002 on one side of the seat unit 1000b. The thigh airbag 1002 may be located at a position corresponding to the lower part of the thigh of the seated user.
[0432] The control unit 300 can control the simultaneous expansion and contraction of the multiple airbags. Thus, the user can receive a massage from the multiple airbags.
[0433] Additionally, as described above, the body massage unit 1000 may include at least one massage module 1700 that moves vertically within the main frame 1100. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to be positioned in a preset location and to perform massage actions.
[0434] Reference Figure 23 The massage module 1700 may include massage balls 1710 symmetrically arranged on two side racks 1211. The massage module 1700 can control the spacing between the massage balls 1710. As an example, the spacing between the massage balls 1710 can be set to "MIN", "MID", and "MAX". "MIN" can refer to the state where the spacing between the massage balls 1710 is relatively narrowest. "MID" can refer to the state where the spacing between the massage balls 1710 is relatively wider than "MIN". "MAX" can refer to the state where the spacing between the massage balls 1710 is relatively widest. This is just one example and is not limited to the spacing itself.
[0435] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move to a position corresponding to the user's neck to shoulder and perform massage actions. The control unit 300 can also control the massage balls 1710 to perform massage actions at at least one of the intervals of "MIN", "MID", and "MAX". The control unit 300 can control the massage module to perform acupressure, tapping, and / or kneading actions. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the position, spacing, and / or actions of the massage module 1700.
[0436] Participation Figure 24The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to protrude forward. The degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 can be set to stages XD0 to XD5. Stage XD0 can refer to the state where the massage module 1700 protrudes the least. Stage XD5 can refer to the state where the massage module 1700 protrudes the most. The massage module 1700 can protrude more than the previous stage from stage XD0 to stage XD5. The degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 can correspond to the intensity of the massage action. Stage XD0 can refer to the weakest intensity of the massage action, and stage XD5 can refer to the strongest intensity of the massage action.
[0437] In the first massage action, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to operate in the XD3 stage. This corresponds to one example and is not limited to the XD stage.
[0438] In the first massage action, the control unit 300 can control the plurality of airbags and massage module 1700 to perform the massage action within 60 seconds, which corresponds to one example and is not limited by the time.
[0439] In the first massage action, the control unit 300 can control the plurality of airbags and / or massage modules 1700 to move at any point in time, before, during, and after the movement of the back frame 1210, leg massage unit 2000, and / or arm massage unit 3100. Providing a massage to the user before the rolling stretch can improve muscle relaxation and blood circulation. Therefore, during the rolling stretch, user injury can be prevented and the stretching effect can be improved.
[0440] After the first massage action, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to be in the tilt mode to perform the rolling stretching mode action. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 so that the back angle is the maximum back angle.
[0441] Reference Figure 25The control unit 300 can rotate the seat frame 1250 so that the seat angle of the massage device 100 is at its maximum value in the seated (upper) position. At this time, the control unit 300 can rotate (or tilt) the seat frame 1250 as far forward as possible towards the upper side of the seat frame 1250, thereby maximizing the seat angle. The control unit 300 can also rotate the back frame 1210 as far backward as possible while the seat angle is at its maximum. Therefore, the angle between the seat portion 1000b and the back frame 1210 increases, and the posture of the massage device 100 can be adjusted to the tilt mode. At this time, the massage device 100 is adjusted from the seated mode to the tilt mode, thereby converting the chair-type posture into a bed-type posture. The bed-type posture can refer to a posture where the seat portion 1000b and the back frame 1210 are formed almost flat, allowing the user to lie on the upper surface of the seat portion 1000b and the back frame 1210.
[0442] When in tilt mode, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be located at the very bottom of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200.
[0443] Additionally, the control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to achieve a preset leg position based on the back angle and the position of the arm massage providing unit 3100. In this case, the control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 such that the leg angle is the maximum leg angle.
[0444] For example, the control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to tilt (or rotate) towards the upper side of the massage device 100, so that the user's legs are straightened. The control unit 300 can also control the leg massage unit 2000 to lift towards the upper side of the massage device 100.
[0445] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a massage action at any point in time before, during, and after the massage device 100 is adjusted to the tilt mode. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform the same action as the first massage action (corresponding to one example), and can also perform a massage action different from the first massage action.
[0446] Preferably, after the first massage action, during the process of adjusting the posture of the massage device 100 to the tilt mode, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to operate continuously. This can mean that the massage module 1700 continuously performs the massage action without stopping.
[0447] When the massage device 100 is adjusted to the tilt mode, the user's back can be pressed firmly against the backrest 1000a. This allows the user to perform more precise spinal segment movements during the rolling stretching motion. Furthermore, by raising the leg massage unit 2000 relatively to its highest point, the user's abdominal muscles contract relatively to their maximum. This enhances the effectiveness of the abdominal muscle exercise.
[0448] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a second massage action when the massage device 100 is adjusted to the tilt mode. For example, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to be positioned corresponding to the user's waist. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a swinging motion. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to perform the massage action at at least one of the spacings "MIN", "MID", and "MAX". Additionally, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform the massage action at the XD3 stage. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform the second massage action within 30 seconds. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the massage action, the XD stage of the massage ball spacing, and / or the execution time.
[0449] Users with weak abdominal muscles may overuse their lower back muscles when moving away from the back 1000a during the rolling stretch, potentially leading to injury. To prevent this, massaging the user's lower back to relax the muscles can help prevent injury and enhance the stretching effect.
[0450] Subsequently, in steps S21 and S22, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform a first rolling upward action and a second rolling upward action. At this time, the first rolling upward action and the second rolling upward action can be an action where, with the back frame 1210 in a fixed position, the arm massage providing unit 3100 moves forward, and while the arm massage providing unit 3100 is moving, the back frame 1210 maintains its position for a certain period of time, and then rotates forward.
[0451] For example, in step S21, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 disposed in the arm massage providing unit 3100 to inflate. The control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate before or during the first rolling upward movement. Preferably, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate before the first rolling upward movement. The control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate within 15 seconds. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the time. Hereinafter, it is assumed that the arm massage providing unit 3100 moves after the arm airbag 3112 inflates.
[0452] After the arm airbag 3112 inflates, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move forward and upward within 8 seconds, which corresponds to one example and is not limited by the time. The arm massage providing part 3100 moves with the user's arm fixed in the arm receiving groove 3110, so that the massage device 100 can provide a stretching effect to the muscles around the user's scapula and thoracic spine. At this time, the arm massage providing part 3100 can move forward and upward toward the upper surface, separating the user's upper body from the back 1000a. Therefore, when the user's upper body is separated from the back 1000a, the massage device 100 can guide the user to perform segmental spinal movements while the user's abdominal muscles contract. In addition, the massage device 100 can be pulled on the user's arm while it is fixed to the arm massage providing part 3100 by the arm airbag 3112, and stretch the user's arm, thereby providing the user with a stretching effect similar to that of a Cadillac roller.
[0453] As an example, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be located at a second position on the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. This second position may correspond to a position 40% of the maximum movement distance from the last lower part of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move to this second position within a preset time period. This second position is an example and is not limited to any specific position.
[0454] Additionally, the control unit 300 can output statements about the first rolling upward movement to the massage device control device 4000 and / or the display. For example, the control unit 300 can output statements such as "lift your upper body by applying force to your abdominal muscles" to the massage device control device 4000 and / or the display while the arm massage providing unit 3100 is moving. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the output of these statements via the audio output module 1500. These statements are specific to one example and are not limited to any particular statement. Thus, the massage device 100 can stretch the user's arms and guide the user's abdominal muscle movements.
[0455] Additionally, when the control unit 300 controls the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame 1210 to move away from each other, the massage module 1700 can be moved to a preset position. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to be positioned corresponding to the user's waist during the first rolling upward motion. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to protrude into the XD0 stage and not perform a massage action. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can set the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to the "MAX". During the subsequent rolling upward and rolling downward motions, the massage module 1700 can maintain the same state as in the first rolling upward motion. This prevents the massage module 1700 from applying pressure to the user's spine and causing injury during the rolling upward and rolling downward motions.
[0456] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to reduce the back angle. The control unit 300 can also control the back frame 1210 to change the back angle to a first back angle. As an example, the first back angle may refer to a back angle where the back frame 1210 rotates by 60% of the maximum rotation angle. This first back angle is an example and is not limited by the stated conditions.
[0457] During the rolling upward movement, due to excessive tension in the upper trapezius and levator scapulae muscles, the user's shoulders may rise, or the user may be unable to perform spinal segment movements properly and compensate by using the strength of the waist to lift the upper body. The arm airbag 3112 inflates and stabilizes the user's arm, thereby preventing the user's shoulder from rising as a compensatory pattern.
[0458] Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 so that after the arm massage providing part 3100 moves forward and upward, it immediately reaches the first back angle. The control unit 300 controls the back 1000a so that after the user's upper body is separated from the back 1000a by the rolling upward movement, it immediately reaches the first back angle, thereby controlling the back 1000a to support the user's upper body. This prevents injury to users with weak abdominal muscles during the rolling stretching movement.
[0459] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to contract. When a preset time has elapsed in the contracted state of the arm airbag 3112, the control unit 300 can perform a second rolling upward action. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the execution of the second rolling upward action within 5 seconds, which corresponds to one example and is not limited by the time.
[0460] In step S22, the control unit 300 can control the inflating of the arm airbag 3112. The control unit 300 can control the inflating of the arm airbag 3112 within 15 seconds, which is one example and is not limited to this time. When the arm airbag 3112 inflates, the control unit 300 can cause the arm massage providing part 3100 to move forward and upward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. The control unit 300 controls the arm massage providing part 3100 to move forward and upward within 8 seconds, which is one example and is not limited to this time. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be located at a third position on the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. The third position can be a position that is forward and upward relative to the second position. As an example, the third position can be located at 80% of the maximum movement distance from the last lower part of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move from the second position to the third position within a preset time. The third position corresponds to one example and is not limited to the position.
[0461] Additionally, the control unit 300 can output statements about the second rolling upward movement to the massage device control device 4000 and / or the display. For example, the control unit 300 can output statements such as "lift your upper body by applying force to your abdominal muscles" to the massage device control device 4000 and / or the display while the arm massage providing unit 3100 is moving. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the output of such statements via the audio output module 1500. These statements are specific to one example and are not limited to any particular statement. Thus, the massage device 100 can stretch the user's arms and guide the user's abdominal muscle movements.
[0462] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 such that the back angle is relatively smaller than the first back angle. The control unit 300 can control the back angle to a second back angle. The second back angle may refer to a back angle that is 20% of the maximum rotation angle of the back frame 1210.
[0463] Additionally, when the back angle decreases (for example, when the back angle of the control back frame 1210 is changed to a second back angle), the control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 so that the leg angle is relatively smaller than the maximum leg angle. As an example, the control unit 300 can control the leg angle to be 50% of the maximum leg angle.
[0464] If the leg angle is maintained while the back angle decreases, the muscle tension in the user's abdominal muscles may become relatively greater than before the back angle was adjusted. To reduce the muscle tension in the user's abdominal muscles, the control unit can control the leg angle to decrease as the back angle decreases.
[0465] The second back angle and leg angle correspond to one example and are not limited by the back angle and leg angle.
[0466] Then, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to contract.
[0467] In steps S23 and S24, after a preset time has elapsed since the arm airbag 3112 has contracted, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform a first rolling downward action and a second rolling downward action. At this time, the first and second rolling downward actions can be as follows: with the arm massage provider 3100 in a fixed position, the back frame 1210 moves towards the rear of the back frame 1210; and while the back frame 1210 is moving, after the arm massage provider 3100 maintains its position for a certain period, the arm massage provider 3100 moves towards the rear of the arm massage provider 3100. The control unit 300 can control the execution of the first and second rolling downward actions within 5 seconds, which corresponds to one example and is not limited by the time.
[0468] For example, in step S23, the control unit 300 can control the inflating of the arm airbag 3112. The control unit 300 can control the inflating of the arm airbag 3112 within 15 seconds, which corresponds to one example and is not limited by the time. Similar to the first and second rolling upward movements, the arm airbag 3112 can be controlled to inflate before or during the first and second rolling downward movements, but for ease of explanation, it is assumed below that it inflates before the first and second rolling downward movements.
[0469] The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 so that the back angle increases after the arm airbag 3112 inflates. The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to change from the second back angle to the first back angle. The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to change from the second back angle to the first back angle within a preset time.
[0470] At this time, during the first downward rolling motion, with the user's arm fixed, the back angle of the massage device 100 is increased, allowing the massage device 100 to guide the upper body downward while the user uses the strength of the rectus abdominis and hamstrings to perform segmental spinal movements. Additionally, the massage device 100 is pulled while the user's arm is fixed to the arm massage providing part 3100 via the arm airbag 3112, stretching the user's arm and providing a stretching effect similar to that of a Cadillac roller.
[0471] Additionally, the control unit 300 can output statements about the first rolling upward motion to the massage device control device 4000 and / or the display during the first rolling upward motion. For example, the control unit 300 can output statements such as "maintain upper body position by applying force to the abdominal muscles" to the massage device control device 4000 and / or the display simultaneously with the tilting (or rotating) motion of the back frame 1210. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the output of such statements via the audio output module 1500. These statements are specific to one example and are not limited to any particular statement. Thus, the massage device 100 can stretch the user's arms and guide the user's abdominal muscle movements.
[0472] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move rearward and downward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move from the third position to the second position on the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. The control unit 300 controls the arm massage providing part 3100 to move rearward and downward, so that the upper body of the user separated from the back 1000a by the first rolling downward movement can come into contact with the back 1000a. Thus, the massage device 100 can prevent injury to users with weak abdominal muscles.
[0473] Then, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to contract.
[0474] In step S24, after a preset time has elapsed since the arm airbag 3112 has contracted, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform a second rolling downward motion. The control unit 300 can control the second rolling downward motion to be performed within 5 seconds, which corresponds to one example and is not limited by the time.
[0475] The control unit 300 can control the inflation of the arm airbag 3112. The control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate within 15 seconds, which corresponds to one example and is not limited by the time. When the arm airbag 3112 inflates, the control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to increase the back angle. The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to change from a first back angle to the maximum back angle. The control unit 300 can control the back frame 1210 to change from the first back angle to the maximum back angle within a preset time.
[0476] Additionally, when the back angle increases (e.g., when the back angle of the control back frame 1210 is changed to the maximum back angle), the control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to increase the leg angle. The control unit 300 can control the leg angle to the maximum leg angle.
[0477] When the control unit 300 controls the back angle to change to the maximum back angle, it also controls the leg angle to the maximum leg angle. Therefore, during the second rolling downward movement, it reduces the tension in the user's abdominal muscles and hamstrings, and can provide the user with an effect that matches the user's body lines.
[0478] Additionally, the control unit 300 can output statements regarding the second rolling downward motion to the massage device control device 4000 and / or the display. For example, the control unit 300 can output statements such as "maintain upper body position by applying force to the abdominal muscles" to the massage device control device 4000 and / or the display while the back frame 1210 moves. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the output of these statements via the audio output module 1500. These statements are specific to one example and are not limited to any particular statement. Thus, the massage device 100 can stretch the user's arms and guide the user's abdominal muscle movements.
[0479] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move rearward and downward toward the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move from the second position toward the rearmost downward of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200.
[0480] When the back angle is at its maximum, the massage device 100 can guide the user to use the strength of their abdominal muscles to perform segmental spinal movements and a rolling downward motion. At this time, the control unit 300 controls the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move further down, thereby providing an effect that matches the user's body lines.
[0481] Then, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to contract.
[0482] In step S25, the control unit 300 can control the end of the massage action. The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to assume the posture of the first massage action. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform the massage action before or during the adjustment of the posture of the massage device 100.
[0483] At the end of the massage action, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform massage actions at a position corresponding to the user's neck to waist. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform at least one massage action among kneading, patting, acupressure, oscillation, and compound massage, which corresponds to one example and is not limited to the actions.
[0484] During the end-of-massage action, the control unit 300 can set the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to at least one of "MIN", "MID", and "MAX". Additionally, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform the massage action in the XD3 stage, which corresponds to one example and is not limited to the XD steps.
[0485] After adjusting the posture of the massage device 100, the control unit 300 controls the expansion and contraction of the plurality of airbags, thereby providing the user with massage through the airbags.
[0486] The massage device 100 can reduce the user's fatigue caused by the rolling and stretching motion by ending the massage action.
[0487] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can control a rolling upward movement and a rolling downward movement. The rolling upward movement moves the arm massage provider 3100 forward and upward when the back frame 1210 forms an arbitrary angle with the ground, causing the arm massage provider 3100 and the back frame 1210 to move away from each other. The rolling downward movement rotates the arm massage provider 3100 when it is located at any position on the support 3200, increasing the angle between the back frame 1210 and the ground. The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform a rolling downward movement after performing at least one rolling upward movement, or it can control the rolling upward movement to be performed after the rolling downward movement.
[0488] The control unit 300 can control the rolling stretching pattern to repeat for a preset time.
[0489] Alternatively, the control unit 300 can receive time information input by the user from the input unit 350. The control unit 300 can control the rolling stretching pattern to repeat for the time input by the user. In this case, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to repeat the rolling stretching pattern at a 90-second cycle. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the rolling stretching pattern to repeat at least 2 times and at most 8 times. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the repetition cycle and the number of repetitions.
[0490] Alternatively, the control unit 300 can control the rolling stretching pattern to repeat a preset number of times.
[0491] Alternatively, the control unit 300 can receive repetition number information input by the user from the input unit 350. The control unit 300 can control the repetition number input by the user in the scrolling stretching mode.
[0492] The above-described scrolling stretching pattern is described as performing a first scrolling downward action and a second scrolling downward action after a first scrolling upward action and a second scrolling downward action. However, this corresponds to one example, and the scrolling upward action and the scrolling downward action can be performed in various combinations such as performing the first scrolling downward action and the second scrolling downward action after a first scrolling downward action and a second scrolling downward action, performing the second scrolling downward action or the first scrolling downward action after a first scrolling upward action or a second scrolling downward action, or performing the second scrolling upward action or the first scrolling upward action after a first scrolling downward action or a second scrolling downward action.
[0493] When the massage device 100 performs the rolling stretching mode, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to be positioned at a preset position on the rack 1211. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to be positioned corresponding to the user's waist when the user sits on the massage device 100. As described above, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to be positioned corresponding to the user's waist and then stop; however, it can also control it to perform the massage action at a preset intensity.
[0494] As described above, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform preset massage actions before and / or after the rolling stretching mode. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform massage actions on the neck, shoulders, waist, etc., of the user receiving the rolling stretching mode at a preset intensity. The control unit 300 can control the massage actions to be performed by expanding / contracting at least one airbag disposed in the massage device 100. By performing massage actions before and / or after the rolling stretching mode, the massage device 100 can prevent injury to the user receiving the rolling stretching mode, reduce fatigue, and further enhance the stretching effect.
[0495] Additionally, the massage device 100 may include a heating pad disposed at a location that can contact the user's body. The heating pad may be formed in at least one of the shoulder airbag 1001 and the back 1000a. For example, the heating pad may be formed on at least one surface of the shoulder airbag 1001 that can contact the user's shoulder and on both sides of the back 1000a that can contact the user's back.
[0496] The control unit 300 provides a heating function to the user's body by activating the heating pad before or during the rolling up and / or rolling down movements, thereby enhancing the stretching effect of the rolling up and / or rolling down movements.
[0497] Therefore, the control unit 300 performs rolling upward and / or rolling downward movements by heating to relax the shoulder joint capsule, which is stiff due to inflammation and fibrosis. This maximizes the range of motion and restores shoulder mobility, thereby relieving shoulder pain and shoulder movement disorders.
[0498] The control unit in this manual can be controlled to reciprocate the arm massage unit in a forward and backward direction, thereby causing the user's arm to reciprocate between an initial position (the front position of the arm massage unit) and a shoulder position (the rear position of the arm massage unit). During this time, the control unit can inflate the airbag included in the arm massage unit at at least one time point during, before, and after the reciprocating movement of the arm massage unit, thereby fixing the user's arm to the arm massage unit during its reciprocating movement. Thus, the control unit pulls at least a portion of the user's arm (e.g., upper arm, forearm, shoulder, hand, etc.) and / or performs a pushing arm traction, movement, and / or stretching massage by reciprocating the arm massage unit in a forward and backward direction, thereby causing at least a portion of the user's arm to move and / or stretch. Therefore, the arm massage unit is controlled to reciprocate (or move) forward and backward to cause the user's arm to move or stretch.
[0499] The embodiments of this specification have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will understand that this specification can be implemented in other specific forms without altering its technical concept or essential features. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive.
