[0104] While terms such as "first" and "second" can be used to describe various constituent elements, the constituent elements are not limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one constituent element from another; for example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, a first constituent element may be named a second constituent element, and similarly, a second constituent element may be named a first constituent element.

[0105] When a constituent element is "connected" or "combined" to another constituent element, it should be understood that it can be directly connected or combined to the other constituent element, and other constituent elements may exist between them. Conversely, when a constituent element is "directly connected" or "directly combined" to another constituent element, it should be understood that no other constituent elements exist between them. Other expressions used to describe the relationship between constituent elements, such as "located between" and "between" or "adjacent to" and "directly adjacent to," should also be interpreted in the same way.

[0106] The terminology used in this specification is for illustrative purposes only and is not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure. Unless the context clearly specifies otherwise, singular expressions include plural expressions. Terms such as "comprising" or "having" in this specification are used to specify the presence of the described features, numbers, steps, actions, constituent elements, components, or combinations thereof, and do not presuppose the presence or additional possibilities of one or more other features, numbers, steps, actions, constituent elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0107] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein, including technical and scientific terms, shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure pertains.

[0110] 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.

[0111] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating a massage device according to one embodiment of this specification.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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.

[0116] 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.

[0117] 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.

[0118] 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.

[0119] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the massage device 100 may include at least one airbag. The airbag may be located in the shoulder part, pelvic part, leg massage part 2000, arm massage part 3000, etc. of the user, but is not limited thereto, and may be arranged in multiple parts of the massage device 100.

[0120] 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 part 1000 or in the leg massage part 2000. Additionally, the air supply unit may also be located outside the massage device 100.

[0121] The arm massage part 3000 located on both sides of the body massage part 1000 is provided with an arm receiving groove 3110 in the shape of a "匚" - shaped groove so that the user can comfortably place their arms in a sitting state and receive massage. Airbags may be provided on the upper and lower sides of the arm receiving groove to perform massage by applying downward and / or upward pressure to the user's arms.

[0122] The arm massage part 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.

[0123] The leg massage part 2000 can provide leg massage to the user. For example, the leg massage part 2000 may include a calf massage part for massaging the calf of the user and / or a foot massage part for massaging the foot of the user.

[0124] The leg massage part 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 part 2000 needs to be lengthened. Additionally, when a short user uses the massage device 100, since the user's calf is short, the leg massage part 2000 needs to be shortened. Therefore, the leg massage part 2000 can provide leg massage that matches the user's height.

[0125] According to an embodiment of the present specification, the leg massage part 2000 may include a physically separated first leg massage part 2000a and a second leg massage part 2000b. For example, the first leg massage part 2000a located on one side may correspond to the user's right leg, and the second leg massage part 2000b located on the other side may correspond to the user's left leg.

[0126] 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 length of the leg massage unit can be adjusted independently in both the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b, and foot massage can be provided. For this purpose, the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b each include a leg length actuator and a foot massage module.

[0127] 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.

[0128] 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".

[0129] 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.

[0162] Figure 3 This is an exploded view illustrating 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.

[0163] 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.

[0164] 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.

[0165] 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.

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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.

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] The leg massage unit 2000 is rotatably connected to the front of the base frame 1300 in the up-down direction.

[0173] The body frame 1200 is supported by the base frame 1300.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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.

[0182] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] Figure 5 Parts (a), (b), and (c) show the seat angle actuator, back angle actuator, and leg angle actuator, respectively.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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 ).

[0191] 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.

[0192] 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.

[0193] Reference Figure 5In part (a), the seat angle actuator 1620 can be connected between the base frame 1300 and the seat frame 1250. One end of the seat angle actuator 1620 is connected through the base frame 1300, and the other end is connected to the seat frame 1250. The seat angle actuator 1620 causes the seat frame 1250 to move relative to the base frame 1300 in the fore-and-aft direction, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the seat frame 1250 and the seat portion 1000b supported on the seat frame 1250.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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.

[0198] 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.

[0199] 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.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] 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.

[0203] 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.

[0204] Figure 6 This is a diagram illustrating an example of a change in posture of the massage device described in this instruction manual.

[0205] 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).

[0206] The massage device 100 according to one embodiment of this specification 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.

[0207] 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.

[0208] 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.

[0209] 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.

[0210] In addition, in the arm massage unit 3000, the arm massage providing unit 3100 is tilted backward relative to the support unit 3200.

[0211] In this specification, the front or back direction is... Figure 6 The direction shown is the reference.

[0212] 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 massager. Figure 9 yes Figure 7 The image shown is a partial exploded 3D view of the arm massage area. Figure 10 This is a component diagram of the arm massage unit drive module.

[0213] An arm massage unit 3000 is provided on the side of the body massage unit 1000. The arm massage unit 3000 is provided for fixing the user's arm and / or providing massage to the user's arm.

[0214] The arm massage unit 3000 includes a support unit 3200, an arm massage providing unit 3100, and an arm massage unit drive module 3300.

[0215] The arm massage providing part 3100 is disposed on the upper side of the support part 3200 and is movably supported.

[0216] The arm massage unit drive module 3300 provides a moving force that allows the arm massage unit 3100 to move independently relative to the support unit 3200.

[0217] Reference Figure 6 In the seated mode (left side) of the massage device 100, the position of the arm massage provider 3100 is referred to as the first position, and in the tilted mode (right side) of the massage device 100, the position of the arm massage provider 3100 is referred to as the second position. The second position is a position where the arm massage provider 3100 is moved backward and tilted relative to the first position, causing the position of the arm massage provider 3100 to decrease. As described above, the arm massage provider 3100 can be tilted downward relative to the support 3200 from the first position to the second position.

[0218] An arm massage providing unit 3100 forms an arm accommodation groove 3110 (refer to Figure 8 ) for inserting a user's arm. An arm airbag 3112 for fixing the accommodated user's arm is provided in the arm accommodation groove 3110. The arm accommodation groove 3110 is formed as a "C"-shaped groove that opens toward the inner surface 3103 of the arm massage providing unit 3100. The arm airbag 3112 can be inflated by an airbag supply unit to fix the user's arm or repeatedly inflated or deflated to provide massage.

[0219] A interference prevention groove 3101 can be formed on the rear side of the inner surface 3103 of the arm massage providing unit 3100. The interference prevention groove 3101 is formed to prevent interference between the arm massage providing unit 3100 and the back 1000a when the massage device 100 switches to the tilt mode and the back 1000a is laid flat and / or when the arm massage providing unit 3100 moves relative to the support unit 3200.

[0220] The support unit 3200 can be fixed to the side surface of the base frame 1300.

[0221] 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 slope corresponding to the downward inclined upper surface 3210. The arm massage providing unit 3100 moves obliquely along the upward inclined upper surface of the support unit 3200.

[0222] An arm massage unit driving module 3300 is configured to support the arm massage providing unit 3100 movably relative to the support unit 3200 and provide a moving force.

[0223] 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 ) ).

[0224] According to the present specification, one side of the arm massage unit actuator 3320 is connected to the support unit 3200, and the other side is connected to the arm massage providing unit 3100. When the arm massage unit actuator 3320 expands and contracts, the arm massage providing unit 3100 can move relative to the support unit 3200. The arm massage unit actuator 3320 provides a moving force that directly moves the arm massage providing unit 3100 relative to the support unit 3200.

[0225] The arm massage unit actuator 3320 can be connected parallel to the moving direction of the arm massage providing unit 3100, for example, the tilt moving direction, such that the movement of the arm massage providing unit 3100 is performed along a movement path parallel to the expansion and contraction direction of the arm massage unit actuator 3320.

[0226] According to one embodiment of this specification, the arm massage actuator 3320 is disposed inside the arm massage providing part 3100.

[0227] 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.

[0228] 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.

[0229] 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.

[0230] 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.

[0231] 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.

[0232] 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.

[0233] 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.

[0234] 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.

[0235] One end of the arm massage actuator 3320 can be fixed to the support plate 3310. A first bracket 3315 is provided on one side of the upper portion 3312 of the support plate 3310, which is connected to one side of the arm massage actuator 3320.

[0236] 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.

[0237] 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.

[0238] 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 arm massage providing part 3100 to move relative to the support part 3200.

[0239] 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.

[0240] The second bracket 3105, which is coupled to the other end of the arm massage actuator 3320, is configured on the rear side of the guide rail 3330, spaced apart from the guide rail 3330.

[0241] 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.

[0242] 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.

[0243] 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.

[0244] 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.

[0245] A guide block 3340 is attached to the other surface of the support plate 3310 opposite to the guide rail 3330.

[0246] 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.

[0247] 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.

[0248] 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.

[0249] 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.

[0250] 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.

[0251] 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.

[0252] 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.

[0253] 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.

[0254] 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.

[0255] 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.

[0256] 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 ).

[0257] 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.

[0258] 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.

[0259] The movement of the arm massage providing unit 3100 relative to the support unit 3200 is performed independently by an arm massage driving module 3300, such as an arm massage actuator 3320, which movably connects the support unit 3200 and the arm massage providing unit 3100. Furthermore, the movement between the arm massage providing unit 3100 and the backrest 1000a, seat 1000b, and leg massage unit 2000 is constrained and not mechanically connected. For example, the arm massage providing unit 3100 can be movably connected relative to the support unit 3200, and can be configured not to be directly connected to the backrest 1000a, seat 1000b, or leg massage unit 2000. Therefore, in the arm massage unit 3000, the movement of the arm massage providing unit 3100 is independent of the angle adjustment of the back 1000a via the back angle actuator 1630 (i.e., back angle adjustment), the angle adjustment of the seat 1000b via the seat angle actuator 1620 (i.e., seat angle adjustment), and the leg angle adjustment via the leg angle actuator 1640, and can be performed independently.

[0260] 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.

[0261] 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.

[0262] 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.

[0263] Furthermore, according to one embodiment of this specification, the movement of the arm massage providing unit 3100 relative to the support unit 3200 is associated with the length and angle adjustment movement of the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b, and can operate independently to achieve various movement modes. For example, when the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b of the leg massage unit 2000 are adjusted to different lengths and different leg angles in a walking mode, the first arm massage providing unit 3100a and the second arm massage providing unit 3100b are associated with the movement of the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second leg massage unit 2000b and can move independently, thereby achieving a movement more suitable for the walking mode.

[0264] Figure 11 This is a diagram of the sensor section of the arm massage unit of the massage device used to illustrate this instruction manual.

[0265] 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.

[0266] 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.

[0267] In addition, when the arm massage unit 3000 moves backward, a collision may occur with the arm massage unit 3100.

[0268] 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.

[0269] According to one embodiment of this specification, the sensor may be an electrostatic sensor.

[0270] 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.

[0271] 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.

[0272] 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.

[0273] 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 340 can be configured to contact the inside of the rear surface 3107.

[0274] 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.

[0275] 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.

[0276] 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.

[0277] The joint between the support 3200 and the body massage part 1000, such as the base frame 1300, includes front joints P1 and P2, middle joints P3 and rear joints P4.

[0278] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 Part (a) has front joints P1 and P2 formed on the front side of the base frame 1300.

[0279] 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.

[0280] The first fastener 1303 and the second fastener 1304 protrude toward the front side of the frame of the body massage part 1000, such as the base frame 1300. The first fastener 1303 forms a front joint portion P1 and is formed to protrude forward from the upper part of the joint frame 1302. The second fastener 1304 forms a front joint portion P2 and is formed to be spaced apart from the first fastener portion 1303 and protrude forward.

[0281] 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 fastener 1303 and the second fastener 1304. The bolt is fastened with the first fastener 1303 and the second fastener 1304 aligned with the fastening hole, thereby performing the assembly of the front joint portions P1 and P2.

[0282] 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.

[0283] 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.

[0284] 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.

[0285] 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.

[0286] The protrusion 3205 is formed on the middle part of the inner surface of the support 3200 corresponding to the first insertion bracket 1310, and is inserted into the first engagement groove 1311.

[0287] 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.

[0288] Reference 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.

[0289] 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.

[0290] The rear joint P4 includes a fastening member 1315 and a second insertion bracket 3206 that engages with the fastening member 1315.

[0291] 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.

[0292] 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.

[0293] The fastening member 1315 has a first fastening depth in which the fastening part 1315a is loosely fixed to the fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface and a second fastening depth in which the fastening part 1315a is tightly fixed to the fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface.

[0294] 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.

[0295] 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.

[0296] 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.

[0297] 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.

[0298] 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.

[0299] The following describes the assembly method of the support part 3200 and the base frame 1300 of the arm massage part 3000.

[0300] 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.

[0301] Because the rear joint P4 is located behind the support 3200 and the body massage unit 1000, it is difficult to assemble using simple bolt fastening. The fastening positions are difficult to visually confirm and not easy to align, thus increasing the difficulty of assembly.

[0302] According to one embodiment of this specification, firstly, at the rear joint P4 position, the fastening member 1315 is loosely assembled into the fastening hole 1322 on the rear surface of the support shaft frame 1320.

[0303] Subsequently, the insertion and assembly of the first insertion bracket 1310 and the coupling protrusion 3205 are performed at the intermediate joint P3 position, and the insertion and assembly of the second insertion bracket 3206 and the fastening member 1315 are performed at the rear joint P4 position.

[0304] At the rear joint P4 position, the fastening member 1315 is inserted into the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 and aligned by hooking it in place. Then, using a longer tool on the rear side of the massage device 100, the fastening member 1315 is tightened to secure it at position P4. At this time, the enlarged diameter portion 1315b of the fastening member 1315 can be pressed into the second engagement groove 3206a of the second insertion bracket 3206 and securely engaged.

[0305] 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.

[0306] Subsequently, at the front joints P1 and P2, the support 3200 and the front of the base frame 1300 are fixed by fastening bolts of the first fastener 1303 and the second fastener 1304 of the base frame 1300.

[0307] 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 intermediate joint P3, the fastening position at the rear joint P4 is provided, that is, the engagement of the fastening member 1315 and the second insertion bracket 3206 is relatively easy.

[0308] In addition, at the rear joint P4 position, which is difficult to assemble, the fastening member 1315 can be tightened in a state where the load of the support 3200 is not concentrated on the fastening member 1315 but distributed, so tightening with tools can be performed relatively easily.

[0309] 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.

[0310] Figure 14 This is a reference diagram showing the air bladder of a massage device according to one embodiment of this specification.

[0311] Reference Figure 14 The massage device 100 may include multiple airbags. The control unit 300 can provide a massage to a user sitting on the massage device 100 by controlling the movement of the multiple airbags. In addition, the control unit 300 can fix a part of the user's body sitting on the massage device 100 by controlling the movement of the multiple airbags.

[0312] The massage device 100 may include at least one of a shoulder airbag, a thigh airbag 1002, a calf airbag, a foot airbag, and an arm airbag. The body massage unit 1000 may include at least one shoulder airbag. The body massage unit 1000 may include at least one shoulder airbag 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.

[0313] The arm massage unit 3000 may include at least one arm airbag. 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.

[0314] The leg massage unit 2000 may include at least one calf airbag and a foot airbag.

[0315] The calf airbag 2001 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 at the rear. The first calf airbag 2001a and the second calf airbag 2001b may be located at the position 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 position where the calf massage unit contacts the rear surface of the calf of the seated user.

[0316] The foot airbag 2002 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 positions where the foot massage unit contacts the two sides of the instep of the seated user.

[0317] 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. This is just one example and is not limited by the number, position, etc. of the airbags.

[0318] As described above, the control unit 300 can provide massage to a user sitting in the massage device 100 by controlling the repeated expansion and contraction of multiple airbags. Additionally, the control unit 300 controls the airbags to remain inflated for a preset time period, thereby providing pressure massage or immobilizing a part of the user's body.

[0320] Reference Figure 15 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 according to acupressure movements. 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.

[0321] Figure 16This is a reference diagram illustrating the degree of protrusion of a massage module according to one embodiment of this specification.

[0322] Reference Figure 16 The 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.

[0323] The following describes the control of a massage mode (or a concentrated neck and shoulder massage mode) for massaging the cervical spine of a seated user according to an embodiment of this specification. However, since the driving method of each component has already been described above, repeated descriptions are omitted when describing the control of the massage mode (or the concentrated neck and shoulder massage mode) for massaging the cervical spine of a user according to this specification.

[0324] As described above, the massage device 100 may include: a body massage unit 1000, including a massage module 1700 for massaging at least a portion of a user's body; and a control unit 300 for controlling the body massage unit 1000. The control unit 300 may control the body massage unit 1000 to rotate in at least one of a forward and a backward direction. The control unit 300 may also control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action to massage the cervical spine of a user sitting on the massage device 100 when the body massage unit 1000 rotates. More specifically, the control unit 300 may control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action when the back 1000a rotates.

[0325] As described above, the direction of motion of the massage device 100 is defined based on the perspective of the user sitting on the massage device, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the direction of the leg massage section can correspond to the front of the massage device.

[0326] As described above, the massage module 1700 can move up and down along the main frame 1100 and perform massage actions.

[0327] First, such as Figure 6As shown, the posture of the massage device 100 according to one embodiment of this specification can be changed to achieve the sitting mode and the tilting mode. At this time, the control unit 300 can independently control the body massage unit 1000, the leg massage unit 2000 and the arm massage providing unit 3100 to be located at any position between the sitting mode and the tilting mode.

[0328] When the back angle of the body massage unit 1000 in the sitting mode is referred to as the first back angle and the back angle of the body massage unit 1000 in the tilting mode is referred to as the second back angle, the control unit 300 can control the back 1000a to lie flat towards the ground or to lift forward relative to the ground, so that the back 1000a has any back angle within the range from the first back angle to the second back angle. When the back 1000a lies flat towards the ground, the angle formed between the back 1000a and the ground can be relatively larger than before lying flat.

[0329] Furthermore, when the seat angle of the seat portion 1000b in the sitting mode is referred to as the first seat angle and the seat angle of the seat portion 1000b in the tilting mode is referred to as the second seat angle, the control unit 300 can control the seat portion 1000b to be raised backward relative to the ground or lowered forward toward the ground, so that the seat portion 1000b has any seat angle within the range from the first seat angle to the second seat angle. When the seat portion 1000b is raised backward relative to the ground, the angle formed between the seat portion 1000b and the ground can be relatively larger than before it is raised.

[0330] According to one embodiment of this specification, as described above, the massage device 100 may further include a leg massage unit 2000 rotatably connected to the body massage unit 1000. The control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate in at least one of a forward and a rearward direction. When at least one of the body massage unit 1000 and the leg massage unit 2000 is activated, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action. More specifically, when at least one of the back massage unit 1000a and the leg massage unit 2000 rotates, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action.

[0331] When the leg angle of the leg massage unit 2000 in the sitting mode is referred to as the first leg angle, and the leg angle of the leg massage unit 2000 in the tilting mode is referred to as the second leg angle, the control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to be raised forward relative to the ground or lowered backward toward the ground, so that the leg massage unit 2000 has any leg angle within the range from the first leg angle to the second leg angle. The control unit 300 can also control the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate forward or backward to have any leg angle. When the leg massage unit 2000 is raised forward relative to the ground, the angle formed between the leg massage unit 2000 and the ground can be greater than the angle before being raised.

[0332] When the leg massage unit 2000 rotates forward in any position, the legs of the user sitting on the massage device 100 can extend further forward relative to the massage device. When the leg massage unit 2000 rotates backward in any position, the legs of the user sitting on the massage device 100 can be lowered further relative to the ground.

[0333] According to another embodiment of this specification, as described above, the massage device 100 may further include arm massage units 3000 connected to both sides of the body massage unit 1000. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage units 3000 to move in at least one of a forward and a backward direction. When at least one of the body massage unit 1000 and the arm massage unit 3000 moves, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action. More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move in at least one of a forward and a backward direction. More specifically, when at least one of the back 1000a and the arm massage providing unit 3100 moves, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action.

[0334] When the position of the arm massage provider 3100 in the sitting mode is referred to as the first arm position and the position of the arm massage provider 3100 in the tilting mode is referred to as the second arm position, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage provider 3100 to move backward and downward or forward and upward, so that the arm massage provider 3100 is located at any position within the range from the first arm position to the second arm position.

[0335] The arm massage providing part 3100 can slide on the upper surface 3210. The arm massage providing part 3100 can receive signals from the control part 300 and slide forward and / or backward on the upper surface 3210.

[0336] According to another embodiment of this specification, as described above, the massage device 100 may further include a leg massage unit 2000 rotatably connected to the body massage unit 1000 and arm massage units 3000 connected to both sides of the body massage unit 1000. The control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate in at least one of a forward and a backward direction. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage unit 3000 to move in at least one of a forward and a backward direction. More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move in at least one of a forward and a backward direction. When at least any one of the body massage unit 1000, the leg massage unit 2000, and the arm massage unit 3000 is activated, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action. More specifically, when at least one of the back 1000a, leg massage unit 2000 and arm massage providing unit 3100 is activated, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action.

[0337] Figure 17 This is a reference diagram showing the backrest angle and seat angle in this instruction manual.

[0338] exist Figure 17 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 17 In the diagram, the straight line 11000 representing 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 form an obtuse angle with the ground in a counterclockwise direction. The direction in which the back frame 1210 rotates to increase the back angle can correspond to the direction in which the back 1000a rotates backward. In this case, the direction in which the back 1000a rotates backward is counterclockwise, and the direction in which the back 1000a rotates forward can be clockwise.

[0339] Figure 17The shape of the massage device is shown when viewed from the right side, but when viewed from the left side, the back 1000a can rotate backward in a clockwise direction, and the back 1000a can rotate forward in a counterclockwise direction.

[0340] The back angle can have a minimum value (first back angle) 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.

[0341] The back angle can have a maximum value (second back angle) 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.

[0342] When the back 1000a rotates backward, the back angle can increase relatively. When the back 1000a rotates forward, the back angle can decrease relatively.

[0343] exist Figure 17 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 with the ground in a counterclockwise direction.

[0344] The direction in which the seat frame 1250 rotates to increase the seat angle can correspond to the direction in which the seat portion 1000b rotates rearward. In this case, the direction in which the seat portion 1000b rotates rearward is counter-clockwise, and the direction in which the seat portion 1000b rotates forward can be clockwise.

[0345] Figure 17 The shape of the massage device is shown when viewed from the right side, but when viewed from the left side, the seat part 1000b can rotate backward in a clockwise direction, and the seat part 1000b can rotate forward in a counterclockwise direction.

[0346] The seat angle can have a minimum value (first seat angle) in the sitting mode and a maximum value (second seat angle) in the reclining mode. Alternatively, the seat angle can have various angle values ​​between the minimum and maximum values.

[0347] Figure 18 This is a reference diagram showing the rotation of the seat, back, and leg massage parts according to an embodiment of this specification.

[0348] Reference Figure 18 The control unit 300 can control the seat portion 1000b to change from the first seat angle to the second seat angle. The control unit 300 can also control the seat frame 1250 to change from the first seat angle (…). Figure 18 The upper left side) is changed to the second seat angle ( Figure 18 (upper right side).

[0349] For example, the control unit 300 can rotate the seat frame 1250 so that the seat angle of the massage device 100 is at its maximum value when the device is seated (upper side). At this time, the control unit 300 can rotate (or tilt) the front of the seat frame 1250 as far as possible towards the upper side of the seat frame 1250, thereby maximizing the seat angle.

[0350] The control unit 300 can be controlled to have the second seat angle in the seat part 1000b. Figure 18 The upper right side of the back slopes backward (reclining) to the rear. Figure 18 (Lower left side). This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the backrest angle and seat angle.

[0351] For example, the control unit 300 can rotate the back frame 1210 as far behind 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.

[0352] When the backrest 1000a is tilted backward, the user sitting on the massage device 100 is in a lying position. The massage device 100 can provide various massage movements and / or stretching modes to the lying user.

[0353] In other words, the massage device 100 adjusts from a seated mode to a reclining mode, thereby converting a chair-like posture into a bed-like posture. A bed-like posture can refer to a posture in which the seat part 1000b and the back frame 1210 are formed almost flat, allowing the user to lie on the upper surface of the seat part 1000b and the back frame 1210.

[0354] Furthermore, when operating in tilt mode, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing part 3100 to be located at the rearmost lower part of the upper surface 3210 of the support part 3200. Thus, the massage device 100 allows the user's arm to be placed on the rearward-moving arm massage providing part 3100, allowing the user to lie more comfortably in the massage device 100.

[0355] Additionally, the control unit 300 can control the tilting of the back 1000a. Figure 18 (Lower left side), and control the leg massage unit 2000 to lift forward. The leg massage unit 2000 can rotate and lift upward. Preferably, the control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to have the second leg angle. The control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to be in the tilt mode ( Figure 18 (Lower right side).

[0356] When the massage device 100 is viewed from the right, the direction in which the leg massage unit 2000 rotates forward can correspond to a counterclockwise direction, and the direction in which the leg massage unit 2000 rotates backward can correspond to a clockwise direction.

[0357] Figure 18 The shape of the massage device is shown when viewed from the right side, but when viewed from the left side, the direction in which the leg massage unit 2000 rotates forward can correspond to a clockwise direction, and the direction in which the leg massage unit 2000 rotates backward can correspond to a counterclockwise direction.

[0358] Because the massage device 100 is in tilt mode, the user sitting on the massage device 100 can be in a more comfortable reclining position. The massage device 100 can provide the user with various massage movements and / or stretching modes in the tilt mode.

[0359] The control unit 300 can convert the chair-type massage device into a bed-type massage device, allowing the user to comfortably lie on the massage device 100. The control unit 300 can also be controlled to perform massage and / or stretching actions after the massage device 100 is converted into a bed-type massage device. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can also be controlled to perform massage actions during the process of converting the massage device 100 into a bed-type massage device.

[0360] With the seat 1000b fixed, the control unit 300 tilts the backrest 1000a, increasing the angle between the backrest 1000a and the seat 1000b, thereby converting the body massage unit 1000 into a position where the user can lie down. The control unit 300 can also lift the leg massage unit 2000, allowing the user's legs to extend in conjunction with the tilting motion of the backrest 1000a. Therefore, the user can lie more comfortably in the massage device 100.

[0361] like Figure 5As shown, the backrest 1000a, seat 1000b, and leg massage unit 2000 can be adjusted by the movement of the backrest angle actuator 1630, seat angle actuator 1620, and leg angle actuator 1640.

[0362] Figure 18 The posture is changed in the order of seat 1000b, backrest 1000a and leg massage 2000, but the control is not necessarily performed in the order stated.

[0363] When the massage device 100 is in seated mode, the backrest 1000a may be in a non-rotated state. When the massage device 100 is in tilt mode, the backrest 1000a may be in a state where it has rotated by the maximum rotation angle (100%) based on the non-rotated state.

[0364] When the massage device 100 is in the seated mode, the seat portion 1000b may be in a non-rotating state. When the massage device 100 is in the tilt mode, the seat portion 1000b may be in a state where it has rotated to the maximum rotation angle (100%) based on the non-rotating state.

[0365] When the massage device 100 is in seated mode, the leg massage unit 2000 may be in an unraised state. When the massage device 100 is in tilt mode, the leg massage unit 2000 may be raised to its maximum position based on the unraised state. When the massage device 100 is in tilt mode, the leg massage unit 2000 may be rotated to its maximum rotation angle (100%) based on the unraised state.

[0366] When the massage device 100 is in seated mode, the arm massage unit 3100 can be located at the foremost position. When the massage device 100 is in tilted mode, the arm massage unit 3100 can be located at the rearmost position. When the massage device 100 is in seated mode, the arm massage unit 3100 can be located at the position with the maximum movement distance (100%) relative to the rearmost position.

[0367] Figure 19 This is a flowchart of a massage mode for cervical spine massage according to an embodiment of this specification. Figure 20 This is a reference diagram showing the posture of a massage device according to the steps of a massage mode for cervical spine massage, as described in one embodiment of this specification.

[0368] Reference Figure 19One embodiment of the massage mode for cervical spine massage in this specification may include starting massage (step S10), cervical spine stretching including cervical spine massage (step S11), upper limb stretching including cervical spine massage (step S12), and ending massage (step S13).

[0369] Reference Figure 20 The start of massage (step S10) may include a first start of massage and a second start of massage action.

[0370] The cervical stretching (step S11) including the cervical massage may include cervical stretching preparation massage, first cervical stretching and second cervical stretching movements.

[0371] The upper limb stretching (step S12) including the cervical spine massage may include upper limb stretching preparation massage, first upper limb stretching, second upper limb stretching and upper limb stretching ending action.

[0372] The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from the sitting posture to a posture for initiating the first massage action. The control unit 300 can also control the backrest 1000a to rotate backward, the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate forward, and the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move backward.

[0373] The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from a posture for a first start massage action to a posture for a second start massage action. The control unit 300 can also control the back 1000a to rotate forward, the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate backward, and the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move forward.

[0374] The posture of the massage device 100 used for cervical spine stretching preparation massage and the first cervical spine stretching action can be the same as the posture used for the second starting massage action.

[0375] The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from a posture for stretching the first cervical spine to a posture for stretching the second cervical spine. The control unit 300 can also control the back 1000a to rotate backward, the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate forward, and the arm massage unit 3100 to move backward.

[0376] The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from a posture for stretching the second cervical vertebra to a posture for preparing for upper limb stretching massage. The control unit 300 can also control the back 1000a to rotate forward, the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate backward, and the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move forward.

[0377] The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from a posture for preparing for upper limb stretching massage to a posture for stretching the first upper limb. The control unit 300 can also control the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate forward and the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move forward.

[0378] The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from a posture for stretching the first upper limb to a posture for stretching the second upper limb. The control unit 300 can also control the back 1000a to rotate backward.

[0379] The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from a posture for stretching the second upper limb to a posture for ending the upper limb stretching action. The control unit 300 can also control the arm massage providing part 3100 to move backward.

[0380] The posture of the massage device 100 used to end the massage action can be the same as the posture used to end the upper limb stretching action.

[0381] The following is a more detailed explanation of the control of the massage device 100 for each step of the massage mode used for cervical spine massage.

[0382] Figure 21 This is a reference diagram illustrating the posture of a massage device for initiating a first massage, according to one embodiment of this specification.

[0383] Reference Figure 21 In step S10, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to provide a first massage to a user sitting on the massage device 100. The control unit 300 can also control the massage device 100 to change from a seated mode (upper side) to a preset posture (lower side).

[0384] As an example, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to rotate backward, raise the leg massage unit 2000 forward, and move the arm massage unit 3100 backward when the massage device 100 is in a seated position.

[0385] The control unit 300 can control the seat portion 1000b to be in a state where it rotates to 100% of its maximum rotation angle relative to its unrotated state. The control unit 300 can control the backrest 1000a to be in a state where it rotates to 80% of its maximum rotation angle relative to its unrotated state. The control unit 300 can control the leg massage portion 2000 to be in a state where it is raised to 100% of its maximum rotation angle relative to its unraised state. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing portion 3100 to be in a position where it is located at 20% of its maximum travel distance relative to its furthest point. This corresponds to an example that is not limited by the posture of the massage device 100.

[0386] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action at at least one time point before the output signal, during the output, and after the end signal output. The signal is a signal that changes the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000.

[0387] The state prior to the control unit 300 outputting a signal to change the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000 can refer to the state in which the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000 are in any posture and do not move.

[0388] The signal output by the control unit 300 that changes the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000 may refer to the state of movement of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000.

[0389] The state at which the control unit 300 outputs a signal to change the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000 can refer to the state at which the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000 has been changed.

[0390] The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform a preset massage action during and / or after a change in posture. Preferably, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to be positioned at the portion corresponding to the cervical spine of the seated user and perform a massage action when the back 1000a rotates backward. When the back 1000a rotates backward, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to massage the cervical spine of the seated user.

[0391] Furthermore, the control unit 300 can be controlled to operate the massage module 1700 before the back 1000a rotates backward. The control unit 300 can also be controlled to operate the massage module 1700 continuously as the posture of the massage device 100 changes.

[0392] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within at least one of a plurality of pre-set intervals and perform a pre-set massage action. As described above, the massage module 1700 can move up and down along the main frame 1100. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within a pre-set first interval and perform a massage action.

[0393] The first interval may correspond to the position of the user's neck or shoulder. The control unit 300 may control the massage module 1700 to move within the interval corresponding to the neck or shoulder of the seated user and perform massage actions.

[0394] As described above, the spacing between the massage balls 1710 in the massage module 1700 can be "MIN", "MID", and "MAX". The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 such that the spacing between the massage balls 1710 is set to at least one of "MIN", "MID", and "MAX" to perform a massage action. Preferably, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to set the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to at least one of "MIN" and "MID" and perform a massage action.

[0395] More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move to the area corresponding to the user's upper occipital muscle or upper and middle trapezius muscles and perform a massage action. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move from a position corresponding to the upper and middle trapezius muscles of the seated user to a position corresponding to the upper occipital muscle, and then from the position corresponding to the upper occipital muscle to a position corresponding to the upper and middle trapezius muscles and perform a massage action. Thus, the massage device 100 can provide massage to the cervical spine of the seated user.

[0396] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform at least one of acupressure 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.

[0397] As described above, the control unit 300 can control the degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform massage actions in the XD3 stage, which corresponds to one example and is not limited by the XD stage.

[0398] In addition, as described above, the control unit 300 may include at least one of the shoulder airbag, thigh airbag 1002, calf airbag, foot airbag and arm airbag provided in the massage device 100.

[0399] The control unit 300 can control at least one of the plurality of airbags to perform a massage action. The control unit 300 can control the massage action to be performed by repeatedly inflating and contracting at least one of the plurality of airbags.

[0400] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can control the plurality of airbags to perform a preset massage action at at least at any one time point before, during, and after the output of a signal, where the signal is a signal that changes the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 and / or the plurality of airbags to perform massage actions during and / or after the posture change of the massage device 100.

[0401] Preferably, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within the first interval and perform massage actions after the posture of the massage device 100 changes. Alternatively, the control unit 300 can control the shoulder airbag 1001 and arm airbag 3112 among the plurality of airbags to repeatedly inflate and contract and perform massage actions after the posture of the massage device 100 changes.

[0402] The control unit 300 can control the shoulder airbag, arm airbag, and massage module 1700 to operate within a preset time period. As an example, the control unit 300 can control the shoulder airbag, arm airbag, and massage module 1700 to operate within 60 seconds, but this is just one example and is not subject to the time limit.

[0403] During the first massage, the massage device 100 can massage the occipital muscles, supraspinatus muscles, trapezius muscles, etc., of the seated user. Thus, the massage device 100 can provide the user with a full-body muscle relaxation effect to relieve tension caused by a day's fatigue.

[0404] Figure 22 This is a reference diagram showing the posture of a massage device according to an embodiment of this specification for a second start massage, a cervical stretching preparation massage, and a first cervical stretching massage.

[0405] Reference Figure 22 After the first massage begins in step S10, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from the posture (upper side) for the first massage to the posture (lower side) for the second massage.

[0406] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can control the body massage unit 1000 to rotate forward, the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate backward, and the arm massage unit 3000 to move forward. More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the back 1000a to rotate forward, control the leg massage unit 2000 to lower backward, and control the arm massage unit 3100 to move forward from the posture of the massage device 100 used for the first initiation of massage, based on the posture of the massage device 100.

[0407] The control unit 300 can control the back 1000a to be in a non-rotating state. The control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to be in a state where it rotates at 30% of its maximum rotation angle relative to its unraised position. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 to be in a position where it is located at 80% of its maximum movement distance relative to its furthest point. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the posture described.

[0408] The control unit 300 can control at least one of the plurality of airbags to perform a massage action. Preferably, the control unit 300 can control the shoulder airbag to perform a massage action. In this case, the control unit 300 can control the shoulder airbag to remain inflated for a preset time. The control unit 300 can control the shoulder airbag to remain inflated for 15 seconds and / or more, but this is only one example and is not limited to the time.

[0409] The control unit 300 can control the shoulder airbag to remain inflated at at least one of the following time points: before the output signal, during the output, and after the output of the end signal, where the signal is a signal indicating a change in the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000. The control unit 300 can also control the shoulder airbag to remain inflated before and / or during a change in the posture of the massage device 100. The control unit 300 can further control the inflating of the shoulder airbag before controlling the rotation of the body massage unit 1000. The control unit 300 can also control the inflating of the shoulder airbag before controlling the forward rotation of the back 1000a. The user can be secured to the massage device 100 by the inflated shoulder airbag when the posture of the massage device 100 changes. Therefore, when the posture of the massage device 100 changes, the user can maintain a state of closer contact with the massage device 100.

[0410] Furthermore, when at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000 is activated, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within at least one of a plurality of preset intervals and execute a preset massage action. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to execute the preset massage action at at least one time point before, during, and after the output of an output signal, where the signal is a signal that changes the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000.

[0411] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within a pre-set second interval and perform massage actions. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move within an interval corresponding to the lower end of the shoulder or upper end of the back of the seated user and perform massage actions. The second interval can be located below the first interval. The control unit 300 can control the spacing of the massage balls 1710 to be set to either "MIN" or "MID" and perform massage actions. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform at least one of acupressure, kneading, and / or patting actions. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the protrusion degree of the massage module 1700 to be set to the XD3 stage and perform massage actions. The control unit 300 can control the second start massage action to be performed within 30 seconds. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the interval, spacing, position, action, and / or time of the massage modules.

[0412] When the posture of the massage device 100 changes, the back 1000a, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage providing unit 3100 can move simultaneously. The control unit 300 can control the execution of a second start massage action during or after the posture change of the massage device 100.

[0413] Alternatively, when the posture of the massage device 100 changes, the back 1000a, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3100 can move independently. When at least any one of the back 1000a, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3100 moves, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a second start massage action. Preferably, when the back 1000a is in a rotated state, the control unit 300 can control the massage module to perform a second start massage action.

[0414] More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform massage actions within an area corresponding to the upper and middle trapezius muscles of the seated user or to the lower end of the scapula. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move from a position corresponding to the upper and middle trapezius muscles of the seated user to a position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula, and then from a position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula to a position corresponding to the upper and middle trapezius muscles, performing massage actions. Thus, the massage device 100 can provide massage to the lower cervical spine of the seated user.

[0415] Compared to the user's neck and upper shoulders, the lower shoulders and upper back experience excessive tension in the muscles (trapezius muscles) due to improper posture. These muscles have a relatively thick muscle layer. To provide a more effective massage, the massage device 100 may need to provide a deeper massage by having the user press more firmly against the back 1000a.

[0416] The control unit 300 can provide massage actions while the user's body is fixed in the massage device 100 by the shoulder airbag. Thus, the massage device 100 can perform massage actions by making the massage module 1700 further close to the muscles around the user's scapula (trapezius, levator scapulae, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, etc.).

[0417] In step S11, after the second start of massage, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a stretching massage action on the cervical spine of the user sitting on the massage device 100 at at least any one of the following time points: before the output signal, during the output, and after the end signal output. The signal is a signal that causes the body massage unit 1000 to rotate.

[0418] The state prior to the control unit 300 outputting a signal to rotate the body massage unit 1000 can refer to the state where the back 1000a is in any posture and does not move.

[0419] During the process of the control unit 300 outputting a signal to rotate the body massage unit 1000, the back 1000a can rotate forward or backward.

[0420] The state in which the control unit 300 stops outputting a signal to rotate the body massage unit 1000 can be the state in which the back 1000a stops rotating forward or backward.

[0421] At this time, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action at at least one time point before the output signal, during the output, and after the end signal output. The signal is a signal that changes the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000.

[0422] Preferably, the control unit 300 can be controlled to perform acupressure after the massage module 1700 provides a kneading motion before controlling the body massage unit 1000 to rotate. The control unit 300 can also be controlled to perform acupressure after the massage module 1700 provides a kneading motion before outputting a signal to rotate the body massage unit 1000.

[0423] The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform a cervical spine stretching preparatory massage action while maintaining the posture for the second start massage. The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform the cervical spine stretching preparatory massage action in the same posture as when performing the second start massage. The control unit 300 can control the shoulder airbag to contract after a preset massage action. The control unit 300 can control the shoulder airbag to contract after the second start massage. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a massage action in at least one of a plurality of preset intervals. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a massage action in a third interval. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a massage action in an interval corresponding to the middle of the neck of the seated user. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to protrude in an XD3 stage and perform a kneading action. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a massage action for up to 5 seconds.

[0424] The massage module 1700 performs massage actions in the third interval, thereby allowing the massage device 100 to provide massage to the user's cervical spine stretching areas (supraspinatus, trapezius, etc.). More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move at a position corresponding to the upper or middle trapezius muscles and the middle of the neck of the seated user. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the interval, the degree of protrusion of the massage module, the massage action, and / or the time.

[0425] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform a first cervical spine stretching action that provides stretching for the cervical spine of a seated user. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a pre-set massage action at at least one of a plurality of pre-set positions. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to be in a first position and perform a massage action. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to be in a position corresponding to the upper and / or middle of the seated user's neck and perform a massage action. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform acupressure. At this time, the control unit 300 can set the degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 to XD5 stage and the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to "MIN". The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform acupressure for 5 seconds in the first position. This corresponds to an example and is not limited by the position, massage action, degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700, spacing between the massage balls, or time.

[0426] In the first cervical stretching exercise, the massage device 100 provides acupressure to the middle of the neck (near the third and fourth cervical vertebrae) of the seated user, thereby providing the user with a simple cervical stretching effect through the cervical stretching exercise. By first performing a simple cervical stretch on the user, it is possible to prevent the user's cervical spine from becoming overextended due to the cervical stretching performed subsequently.

[0427] Figure 23 This is a reference diagram showing the posture of a massage device for stretching the second cervical vertebra according to an embodiment of this specification.

[0428] Reference Figure 23 After the first cervical spine stretching action, the control unit 300 can control the posture of the massage device 100 to change from the posture for stretching the first cervical spine (upper side) to the posture for stretching the second cervical spine (lower side). The control unit 300 can also control the massage device 100 to be in the tilt mode.

[0429] The control unit 300 can control the body massage unit 1000 to rotate rearward, the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate forward, and the arm massage unit 3000 to move rearward. More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the back 1000a to rotate rearward, control the leg massage unit 2000 to lift forward, and control the arm massage unit 3100 to move rearward from a posture used for stretching the first cervical spine.

[0430] The control unit 300 can control at least one of the plurality of airbags to inflate at at least any one of the following time points: before an output signal, during the output, and after the output of an end signal. This signal is a signal that changes the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000. The control unit 300 can also control the shoulder airbag 1001 to inflate before and / or during the change of posture of the massage device 100 to the tilt mode. The inflation of the shoulder airbag 1001 before and / or during the change of posture of the massage device 100 allows a seated user to be secured to the massage device 100.

[0431] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action at least in at least one of a plurality of preset intervals at at least any one of the following time points: before the output signal, during the output, and after the end signal output. The signal is a signal that changes the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000. When the posture of the massage device 100 changes to the tilt mode, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform the preset massage action in at least one of the plurality of preset intervals.

[0432] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform massage actions in a fourth interval. The fourth interval can refer to the position corresponding to the middle of the neck (the third to sixth cervical vertebrae) of a seated user. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform massage actions within the interval corresponding to the middle of the neck. More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform massage actions within a pre-set interval corresponding to the lower occipital muscles and the middle of the neck of the seated user.

[0433] When the massage device 100 changes its posture to the tilt mode, the back 1000a, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3100 can move simultaneously. The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform a second cervical spine stretching action during or after the posture change.

[0434] Alternatively, when the posture of the massage device 100 changes to the tilt mode, the back 1000a, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3100 can move independently. When at least any one of the back 1000a, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3100 moves, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a second cervical spine stretching action. Preferably, when the back 1000a is in a rotated state, the control unit 300 can control the massage module to perform a second cervical spine stretching action.

[0435] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform acupressure actions. At this time, the control unit 300 can set the degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 to stage XD3 and the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to "MIN". The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move up and down at least once in the fourth interval and perform acupressure actions. The massage module 1700 performs acupressure actions in the fourth interval, thereby the massage device 100 can provide a cervical spine stretching effect to the user. This corresponds to an example that is not limited by the interval, the massage action, the degree of protrusion of the massage module, and / or the spacing between the massage balls.

[0436] The massage device 100 performs massage actions while the user's posture changes to a tilted mode, thereby providing a rolling and stretching effect on the cervical spine using the user's weight. Thus, the massage device 100 can provide relaxation for the entire cervical spine and surrounding muscles (supraspinatus, occipital muscles, trapezius, etc.).

[0437] The control unit 300 can control the shoulder airbag to contract after a preset massage action. The control unit 300 can also control the shoulder airbag to contract after a second cervical spine stretching action. The control unit 300 can further control the massage module 1700 to not protrude forward.

[0438] Short-term, intense neck stretching movements can cause tension in the user's cervical spine. The control unit 300 protects the user from mechanical stimulation by immediately contracting the shoulder airbag after the second neck stretching movement. This prevents injury to the user due to mechanical stimulation.

[0439] According to one embodiment of this specification, the arm massage unit 3000 may include at least one arm airbag. After a massage action is performed on the user's cervical spine, the control unit 300 may control the massage device 100 to perform an upper limb stretching action that moves the body massage unit 100 and the arm massage unit 3000 away from each other while the arm airbag is inflated. At this time, the control unit 300 may control the arm airbag to contract after the upper limb stretching action.

[0440] Figure 24 This is a reference diagram showing the posture of a massage device for upper limb stretching preparation massage according to an embodiment of this specification.

[0441] Reference Figure 24In step S12, after the second cervical vertebra is stretched, the control unit 300 can control the posture of the massage device 100 to change from the tilt mode posture (upper side) to the posture for preparing for upper limb stretching massage (lower side).

[0442] The control unit 300 can control the body massage unit 1000 to rotate forward, the leg massage unit 2000 to rotate backward, and the arm massage unit 3000 to move forward. More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 in a tilted position to rotate the back 1000a forward, lower the leg massage unit 2000 backward, and move the arm massage unit 3100 forward.

[0443] The control unit 300 can control the back 1000a to be in a state where it rotates at 40% of its maximum rotation angle relative to its unrotated state. The control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to be in a state where it rotates at 60% of its maximum rotation angle relative to its unraised state. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 to be in a position where it is located at 60% of its maximum movement distance relative to its furthest point. This corresponds to an example where the user is not limited by the posture of the massage device 100. Therefore, when receiving an upper limb stretching massage, the user can be in a semi-reclined position within the massage device 100.

[0444] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform massage actions during the posture change of the massage device 100. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to perform a preset massage action at at least one of the following time points: before outputting a signal, during output, and after outputting an end signal. This signal is a signal that changes the posture of at least one of the body massage unit 1000, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3000.

[0445] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a pre-set massage action in at least one of a plurality of pre-set intervals. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a massage action in a fifth interval. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a massage action in an interval corresponding to the upper part of the neck or back of a seated user. The fifth interval may include an interval corresponding to the cervical spine of the seated user. The massage action for upper limb stretching preparation may include an action of massaging the user's cervical spine.

[0446] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform at least one of acupressure and kneading actions. At this time, the control unit 300 can set the degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 to the XD3 stage, and set the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to at least one of "MIN" and "MID".

[0447] The massage device 100 provides massage to the seated user while changing posture, thereby relaxing areas tense due to cervical stretching caused by the second cervical stretching movement (neck and shoulders, etc.) or areas requiring relaxation for the stretching (shoulder, trapezius, levator scapulae, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, etc.). At this time, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move from the lower part to the upper part and perform at least one of acupressure and kneading.

[0448] When the posture of the massage device 100 changes, the back 1000a, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage providing unit 3100 can move simultaneously. The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform an upper limb stretching preparation massage action during or after the posture change.

[0449] Alternatively, when the posture of the massage device 100 changes to the tilt mode, the back 1000a, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3100 can move independently. When at least any one of the back 1000a, leg massage unit 2000, and arm massage unit 3100 moves, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform an upper limb stretching preparation massage action. Preferably, when the back 1000a is in a rotated state, the control unit 300 can control the massage module to perform an upper limb stretching preparation massage action.

[0450] More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within the area corresponding to the upper occipital muscle and the lower end of the scapula of the seated user and perform massage actions. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move from a position corresponding to the upper and middle trapezius muscles of the seated user to a position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula, and from the position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula to a position corresponding to the upper occipital muscle and perform massage actions. Thus, the massage device 100 can provide massage to the cervical spine of the seated user. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the area, massage actions, the degree of protrusion of the massage module, or the spacing between the massage balls.

[0451] After the posture of the massage device 100 is changed, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move in at least one of a plurality of preset intervals and perform a preset massage action. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move in a sixth interval and perform a massage action. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move in an interval corresponding to the neck or shoulder of the seated user and perform a massage action.

[0452] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform at least one of acupressure and kneading actions. The control unit 300 can set the protrusion degree of the massage module 1700 to at least one of stages XD2 and XD3, and set the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to at least one of "MIN" and "MID". For example, when the control unit 300 controls the massage module 1700 to perform a kneading action, the protrusion degree of the massage module 1700 is set to stage XD3. Additionally, when the massage module 1700 performs acupressure, the control unit 300 can set the protrusion degree of the massage module 1700 to at least one of stages XD2 and XD3. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform acupressure actions after kneading actions. This is one example and is not limited by the interval, massage action, protrusion degree of the massage module, or spacing between the massage balls.

[0453] After the posture change for upper limb stretching preparation, the massage device 100 provides a kneading motion to the entire neck of the seated user, thereby relaxing the trapezius muscles that may be tense due to upper limb stretching. Subsequently, according to the changes in step XD, the massage device 100 provides moderate-intensity, patient acupressure to the shoulders of the seated user, thereby relieving tension in the areas surrounding the shoulder joint (levator scapulae, supraspinatus, etc.) connected to the shoulder muscles stimulated by upper limb stretching.

[0454] More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within an area corresponding to the upper occipital muscle or the upper end of the scapula of the seated user and perform a massage action. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move from a position corresponding to the upper occipital muscle of the seated user to a position corresponding to the middle of the neck, and then from the position corresponding to the middle of the neck to the position corresponding to the upper occipital muscle and perform a massage action. Thus, the massage device 100 can provide massage to the cervical spine of the seated user. Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move from a position corresponding to the upper occipital muscle of the user to a position corresponding to the upper end of the scapula.

[0455] Figure 25 This is a reference diagram illustrating the posture of a massage device for stretching a first upper limb, according to one embodiment of this specification.

[0456] Reference Figure 25 After the upper limb stretching preparation massage action, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from the posture (upper side) for upper limb stretching preparation massage to the posture (lower side) for first upper limb stretching.

[0457] The control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to lift forward. The control unit 300 can also control the arm massage unit 3100 to move forward.

[0458] The control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to lift forward as far as possible. The control unit 300 can control the leg massage unit 2000 to be in the same state as the tilt mode. The control unit 300 can control the arm massage unit 3100 to be located at 80% of the maximum movement distance based on the furthest point.

[0459] During the first upper limb stretching motion, the arm massage provider 3100 can move forward. As the arm massage provider 3100 moves forward, the muscles (trapezius, etc.) around the shoulder joint of the user sitting on the massage device 100 can be stretched.

[0460] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate before and / or during the forward movement of the arm massage providing unit 3100. In this case, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate within 8 seconds. Furthermore, it can be controlled so that after the arm airbag 3112 inflates, the arm massage providing unit 3100 moves forward and performs a first upper limb stretching action within 4 seconds. This corresponds to one example and is not limited by the stated time.

[0461] As the arm airbag 3112 inflates, the user's arm can be secured to the arm massage unit 3100. When the arm massage unit 3100 moves forward, the user's arm can be pulled while secured to the arm massage unit 3100. Thus, the massage device 100 can provide the user with a more effective upper limb stretching effect.

[0462] After the first upper limb stretching movement, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to contract. After the arm airbag 3112 contracts, the control unit 300 can choose not to control the massage device 100 for a preset time. The control unit 300 can choose not to control the massage device 100 for 2 seconds, which is one example and not limited by the time limit. The user can rest for a preset time after the first upper limb stretching movement.

[0463] Subsequently, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within at least one of a plurality of pre-set intervals and perform a pre-set massage action. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move within a seventh interval and perform a massage action. Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within an interval corresponding to the upper back (upper and lower ends of the scapula, etc.) of the seated user and perform a massage action.

[0464] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform acupressure actions. At this time, the control unit 300 can set the degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 to at least one of XD2 and XD3 stages. Additionally, the control unit 300 can set the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to at least one of "MIN", "MID", and "MAX". This corresponds to an example that is not limited by the range, massage action, degree of protrusion of the massage module, or spacing between the massage balls.

[0465] More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within an area corresponding to the scapular spine or lower end of the scapula of the seated user and perform massage actions. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move from a position corresponding to the scapular spine of the seated user to a position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula, and then from the position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula to a position corresponding to the scapular spine and perform massage actions. The massage device 100 can change the degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 from stage XD2 to stage XD3 and provide massage actions to the user. Thus, the massage device 100 performs acupressure actions on the thoracic spine and upper back of the user moving forward, thereby providing the user with a stretching effect on the user's bent shoulders or back.

[0466] Figure 26 This is a reference diagram illustrating the posture of a massage device for a second upper limb stretching action according to an embodiment of this specification.

[0467] Reference Figure 26After the first upper limb is stretched, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from the posture (upper side) for stretching the first upper limb to the posture (lower side) for stretching the second upper limb.

[0468] The control unit 300 can control the back 1000a to rotate rearward. The control unit 300 can rotate the back 1000a rearward so that the back angle has a maximum value.

[0469] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can rotate the back 1000a backward while the arm massage providing unit 3100 is fixed. A user sitting on the massage device 100 can be in a lying position with their arms positioned on the arm massage providing unit 3100. Thus, the user can receive an upper limb stretching effect by pulling on their arms using the massage device 100.

[0470] According to another embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can control the back 1000a to rotate backward and control the arm massage providing unit 3100 to move relatively forward. At this time, the user's arms move forward, and the user's back is in a lying position. Thus, the user can receive a more intense upper limb stretching effect from the massage device 100.

[0471] Before the posture of the massage device 100 is changed, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to be located at the upper part of the user's back (below the shoulder blades).

[0472] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can control the arm airbag 3112 to inflate before or during a change in posture of at least one of the back 1000a and the arm massage providing unit 3100. The control unit 300 can control the arm airbag to inflate within a preset time period. The control unit 300 can control the arm airbag to inflate within 6 seconds, which is one example and not limited to the specified time.

[0473] After the arm airbag inflates, the control unit 300 can control the posture of the massage device 100 to change within 4 seconds, which corresponds to one example and is not limited by the time.

[0474] As the arm airbag inflates, the user's arm can be secured to the arm massage provider 3100. When at least one of the back 1000a and the arm massage provider 3100 changes position, the user's arm can be pulled while secured to the arm massage provider 3100. Thus, the massage device 100 can provide the user with a stronger and more effective upper limb stretching effect. Through the second upper limb stretching action, the massage device 100 can provide the user with a stretching effect on the muscles around the shoulder joint (trapezius, levator scapulae, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, etc.).

[0475] Figure 27 This is a reference diagram showing the posture of a massage device for ending an upper limb stretching action and ending a massage action, according to an embodiment of this specification.

[0476] Reference Figure 27 After the second upper limb is stretched, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to change from the posture for stretching the second upper limb (upper side) to the posture for ending the upper limb stretching action (lower side).

[0477] The control unit 300 can control the inflatable arm bladder to contract. Additionally, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage unit 3100 to move rearward. The control unit 300 can also control the massage device 100 to return to the tilted position.

[0478] By contracting the arm airbag during the second upper limb stretching action, tension in the user's neck and shoulder muscles caused by short-term, intense upper limb stretching can be prevented. Furthermore, as the arm airbag contracts, the arm massage unit 3100 moves rearward, thereby providing psychological stability to the user and preventing physical tension caused by mechanical stimulation.

[0479] Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a preset massage action in at least one of a plurality of preset intervals. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a massage action in the seventh interval. Additionally, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a massage action in an interval corresponding to the upper back (upper and lower ends of the scapula) of a seated user.

[0480] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform acupressure actions. At this time, the control unit 300 can set the degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 to at least one of XD2 and XD3 stages. The control unit 300 can control the degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 to change from XD2 stage to XD3 stage. Additionally, the control unit 300 can set the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to at least one of "MIN", "MID", and "MAX". This corresponds to an example where the distance is not limited by the interval, the massage action, the degree of protrusion of the massage module, or the spacing between the massage balls.

[0481] More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within an area corresponding to the scapular spine or lower end of the scapula of the seated user and perform massage actions. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move from a position corresponding to the scapular spine of the seated user to a position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula, and then from the position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula to a position corresponding to the scapular spine and perform massage actions.

[0482] In step S13, after the upper limb stretching action ends, the control unit 300 can control the end of the massage action. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a pre-set massage action in at least one of a plurality of pre-set intervals. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a massage action in an eighth interval. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform a massage action in an interval corresponding to the uppermost part of the user's neck (occipital muscle) or upper back.

[0483] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform at least one of acupressure, kneading, and patting actions. The control unit 300 can set the degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 to an XD3 stage. The control unit 300 can set the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to at least one of "MIN", "MID", and "MAX". This corresponds to an example and is not limited by the range, massage action, degree of protrusion of the massage module, or spacing between the massage balls.

[0484] More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move and perform massage actions within the area corresponding to the upper occipital muscle or the lower end of the scapula of the seated user. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move from a position corresponding to the scapular spine of the seated user to a position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula, and from the position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula to a position corresponding to the upper occipital muscle and perform massage actions. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a tapping action at a position corresponding to the user's scapula. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move from a position corresponding to the lower end of the user's neck to a position corresponding to the upper end of the neck and perform acupressure actions. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform a kneading action at a position corresponding to the entire neck of the user. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform acupressure actions at a position corresponding to the middle of the user's neck. Thus, the massage device 100 can provide a massage to the cervical spine of a seated user.

[0485] Before or simultaneously with the massage module 1700 performing a massage action corresponding to the center of the user's neck, the control unit 300 can control the inflating of the shoulder airbag. As the shoulder airbag inflates, the user's upper body can be secured to the massage device 100. Therefore, the massage device 100 can provide a more effective massage to the center of the seated user's neck. This relaxes the user's muscle tension caused by stretching, thus providing a restorative effect.

[0486] According to one embodiment of this specification, the control unit 300 can perform the action of first start massage - second start massage - cervical spine stretching preparation massage - first cervical spine stretching - second cervical spine stretching - upper limb stretching preparation massage - first upper limb stretching - second upper limb stretching - upper limb stretching end - end massage as a cycle more than once.

[0487] After the massage action ends, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to be in the posture for initiating the first massage. At this time, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move in at least one of a plurality of preset intervals and perform a preset massage action. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move in the eighth interval and perform a massage action. The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move in the interval corresponding to the uppermost part of the neck or the upper part of the back of the seated user and perform a massage action.

[0488] More specifically, the control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to move within an area corresponding to the upper occipital muscle or the lower end of the scapula of the seated user and perform massage actions. The control unit 300 can also control the massage module 1700 to move from a position corresponding to the upper occipital muscle of the seated user to a position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula, and then from the position corresponding to the lower end of the scapula to a position corresponding to the lower occipital muscle and perform massage actions. Thus, the massage device 100 can provide massage to the cervical spine of the seated user.

[0489] The control unit 300 can control the massage module 1700 to perform at least one massage action among acupressure, kneading, and patting. The control unit 300 can set the degree of protrusion of the massage module 1700 to an XD3 stage. The control unit 300 can set the spacing between the massage balls 1710 to at least one of "MIN", "MID", and "MAX". This corresponds to an example and is not limited by the range, massage action, degree of protrusion of the massage module, or spacing between the massage balls.

[0490] Then, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform the next cycle action.

[0491] The user can input the number of repetitions of the cycle using the input unit 350. The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to repeatedly perform the massage action according to the cycle based on the number of repetitions input by the user.

[0492] Alternatively, the user can input the massage action time using the input unit 350. The control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to repeatedly perform the massage action according to the cycle within the action time input by the user. Preferably, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to repeatedly perform the massage action according to the cycle at least 2 times and at most 8 times within the action time input by the user; this is just one example and is not limited by the number of times.

[0493] Furthermore, the control unit 300 can control the massage device 100 to perform massage actions according to the next cycle within a preset time after the end of one cycle. For example, the control unit 300 controls the massage device 100 to perform massage actions according to the next cycle within 90 seconds after the end of one cycle; this is just one example and is not limited by the time specified.

[0494] The control unit 300 can acquire information related to the user's physical characteristics from the sensor unit 310.

[0495] 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 body characteristics, such as the user's sitting height.

[0496] Alternatively, the sensor unit 310 can acquire personal authentication information such as fingerprint, facial, voice, and iris information of the seated user. The memory 330 can pre-store information about the user's physical characteristics corresponding to the personal authentication information. 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.

[0497] 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.

[0498] The control unit 300 can control the posture of the massage device 100 to change according to the user's height.

[0499] As an example, the first user can be relatively taller than the second user. When the first user receives the first upper limb stretching motion, the control unit 300 can control the arm massage providing unit 3100 to be positioned relatively more forward compared to when the second user receives the second upper limb stretching motion.

[0500] Furthermore, compared to when the second user receives the second upper limb stretching action, when the first user receives the first upper limb stretching action, the control unit 300 can control the back 1000a to be in a state of relatively further rearward rotation. This corresponds to an example where, obviously, the posture of the massage device 100 can be changed in more ways to provide a more effective massage effect to the user based on their height.

[0501] According to this specification, a massage mode described for cervical spine massage (in addition, a concentrated massage mode for the neck and shoulders) includes starting a massage, cervical spine stretching including cervical spine massage, upper limb stretching including cervical spine massage, and ending a massage.
