Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a foot massage unit lifting device, more preferably, to a foot massage unit lifting device with a double structure including a cover, such that the cover formed on the inner side based on the frame constituting the foot massage unit and the placement part for placing the user's feet are raised integrally. Background Technology

[0002] The massage device is chair-shaped. When the user sits on it, each part of the body—including the neck, shoulders, back, waist, and legs—is pressed against automatically rotating rollers to stimulate the muscles in each area, thus relaxing tense muscles. In addition to rotating rollers, each part of the body is equipped with airbags that repeatedly expand and contract using air pressure, which, together with the rollers, stimulate tense muscles.

[0003] In existing massage devices, the position of the rollers that sense the user's feet and massage the feet when the user sits on the massage device is initially set by uniformly adjusting the distance between the rollers and the soles of the feet. As a result, if the user is short, even if the rollers are close to the soles of the feet at the set distance, the soles of the feet cannot be stimulated if they do not contact the rollers.

[0004] In addition, as mentioned above, the method of adjusting only the spacing between the soles of the feet by moving the entire roller results in the toes getting stuck inside the massage device.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to raise a certain area of ​​the foot massage device facing the sole of the foot and to ensure the structural stability of the foot massage unit corresponding to the height change of the raised area.

[0094] A rack may be provided along the length of the upper frame 1131. The rack is a component used to guide the massage module 1110 to move up and down, and can be constructed using known racks that include multiple valleys and multiple ridges.

[0095] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the racks can be arranged facing each other on both sides of the upper frame 1131, and the massage module 1110 can move along the racks.

[0096] The rack is formed in the vertical direction, but is not limited thereto. The rack may include racks in the front-to-back direction and racks in the vertical direction. In this invention, the front-to-back direction may refer to the direction from the massage module 1110 toward the user or the direction from the user toward the massage module 1110. Figure 2 Using the X-axis as a reference, it can refer to the X-axis direction.

[0097] The massage module 1110 may include gears that mesh with a rack. More specifically, the massage module 1110 may include gears that mesh with a rack in the forward-backward direction and a rack in the up-down direction, respectively. The gears are rotated by an actuator disposed in the massage module 1110, thereby allowing the massage module 1110 to move forward, backward, up, or down.

[0098] As the massage module 1110 moves forward, the massage intensity can be increased. Conversely, as the massage module 1110 moves backward, the massage intensity can be decreased.

[0099] Racks can be made of metal or plastic materials. For example, racks can be made of iron, steel, alloys, reinforced plastics, melamine resin, phenolic resin, etc., but are not limited to these.

[0100] The upper frame 1131 can be implemented in various shapes. For example, depending on the shape, the upper frame 1131 can be divided into an S-frame, an L-frame, an S&L-frame, and a double S&L-frame, but is not limited to these.

[0103] The upper base frame 1132a can support the upper frame 1131, and the lower base frame 1132b can be connected to the ground. In addition, the upper base frame 1132a can be set in a manner that connects to the lower base frame 1132b.

[0104] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper base frame 1132a is movable along the lower base frame 1132b. For example, the upper base frame 1132a is movable forward or backward along the lower base frame 1132b. In this case, the upper frame 1131 is connected to the upper base frame 1132a, thereby being able to move as the upper base frame 1132a moves.

[0105] For example, when the upper frame 1132a moves forward, the upper frame 1131 can also move forward together; when the upper frame 1132a moves backward, the upper frame 1131 can also move backward together. This allows the body massage unit 1100 to slide.

[0106] To allow movement of the upper base frame 1132a, a moving wheel can be provided at the lower part of the upper base frame 1132a. Additionally, a guide member capable of guiding the moving wheel can be provided at the upper part of the lower base frame 1132b. The moving wheel provided in the upper base frame 1132a moves along the guide member provided in the lower base frame 1132b, thereby allowing the upper base frame 1132a to move forward or backward.

[0107] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 1000 may not provide a sliding function. In this case, the base frame 1132 may not be separated into an upper frame and a lower frame.

The foot massage frame 2100, which includes the foot massage unit, can move along the main frame 2000 via a track structure, gear connection structure, etc., which are fastened to the drive unit 2200.

[0149] In an embodiment of this invention, the drive unit 2200 applies a driving force to the track located on the foot massage frame 2100, allowing the track to move along the length direction of the track groove formed in the main frame 2000. Therefore, the foot massage frame 2100 can move along the main frame 2000.

[0150] When the foot massage frame 2100 moves along the main frame 2000, the first frame 3100, which is fastened to the foot massage frame 2100, can move integrally along the main frame 2000. Furthermore, the calf massage unit 4000, located at the upper end of the foot massage unit and in the leg massage unit 1300, can be fastened, and in response to the driving force of the drive unit 2200, the foot massage unit and the calf massage unit 4000 can move integrally along the length of the main frame 2000.

[0151] Additionally, the drive unit 2200 may be disposed in the foot massage frame 2100 adjacent to the main frame 2000. Furthermore, the inner cover 3420 may include a recess 3421 formed in the area that interferes with the drive unit 2200, such that the inner cover 3420 can move along the first frame 3100 to have a predetermined angle in the vertical direction without interfering with the drive unit 2200.

[0152] In one embodiment of this utility model, a foot massage unit is included, disposed on the back of a leg massage unit 1300 and used for accommodating a user's foot. The foot massage unit includes: a first frame 3100 disposed on the back of a housing 3400; and a second frame 3200 disposed on the upper surface of the first frame 3100 and rotatable about one end. Furthermore, the foot massage unit also includes: a placement portion 3600 disposed inside the housing 3400 and used for accommodating a user's foot; and a roller unit 3500, at least a portion of which protrudes along the upper surface of the second frame 3200 to face the placed user's foot and is rotatably fastened to an inner cover 3420. Here, among the plurality of roller portions constituting the roller unit 3500, a rotation shaft is rotatably fastened to the inner cover 3420, and the plurality of roller portions can be arranged sequentially along the length direction of the foot massage unit.

[0153] The roller unit 3500 rotates according to the drive motor 3700, which can be directly connected and fastened to the rotation shaft of the first roller portion 3510 disposed at the front end of the inner cover 3420. The roller unit 3500 may include a plurality of rollers having at least one rotation shaft. More preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, three roller portions may be arranged sequentially from the front end to the rear end of the inner cover 3420.

[0154] The drive motor 3700 can be configured to be directly connected to the rotation shaft of the first roller portion 3510 located at the front end of one side of the inner cover 3420, and the driving force of the drive motor 3700 is configured to be applied to the first roller portion 3510, the second roller portion arranged sequentially, and the third roller portion located at the rear end of the second roller portion via a transmission unit. Here, the transmission unit may include a structure such as a gear set or a pulley. However, the transmission unit includes all structures capable of transmitting rotational force, and is not limited to the example described.

[0155] Furthermore, in response to the rising of the lifting unit 3300 located in the first frame 3100, the second frame 3200 can rotate (tilt) based on the rotation axis of the first roller portion 3510. Additionally, the inner cover 3420, which is fastened to the second frame 3200, is integrally arranged around the second frame 3200, the roller unit 3500, the drive motor 3700, etc. Therefore, in response to the rising of the lifting unit 3300 located at the lower end of the second frame 3200, all structures surrounded by the inner cover 3420 rise based on the rotation axis of the roller portion located at the front end of the mounting portion 3600 in the roller unit 3500. Here, the structures that rise according to the lifting unit 3300 include the second frame 3200, the inner cover 3420, and the roller unit 3500. More preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, taking the first roller portion 3510, which is configured to be fixed to the inner cover 3420 at the front end away from the main frame 2000, as a reference, the other end of the second frame 3200 adjacent to the main frame 2000 can be rotated and moved in the height direction by the lifting unit 3300. Furthermore, one end of the second frame 3200 can move in the height direction, such that, with the rotation axis fastened to the first roller portion 3510 and the lifting hinge portion 3110 fixed to the first frame 3100 as a reference, the second frame 3200 has a predetermined angle.

[0156] As described above, the foot massage unit lifting device of this utility model includes a lifting unit 3300 located in the first frame 3100, and in response to the drive of the lifting unit 3300, the second frame 3200, which is integrally formed with the inner cover 3420, rises and rotates with the rotation axis of the first roller portion 3510 as a reference.

[0157] Figure 6 This is a top view showing a leg massage part according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0158] As described above, the housing 3400, including the mounting section 3600, is configured with the mounting section 3600 open. The back of the mounting section 3600 includes: a roller unit 3500, which is opposite to the bottom of the user's foot; and a drive motor 3700, located on the outer side of the inner cover 3420, to provide rotational force to the roller unit 3500.

[0159] In one embodiment of the present invention, a roller unit 3500 comprising three roller portions from the front end to the rear end of the mounting portion 3600 is disclosed, and based on the first roller portion 3510 which is fastened to the drive motor 3700 and located at the front end of the mounting portion 3600, a second roller portion and a third roller portion are sequentially included.

[0160] The drive motor 3700 includes a transmission unit that is fastened to the rotation shaft of the first roller portion 3510, transmitting the rotational force applied to the first roller portion 3510 to the second roller portion, and a rotation shaft located in the second roller portion to transmit the rotational force of the third roller portion. Therefore, the rotational force of the drive motor 3700, which is directly connected to the rotation shaft of the first roller portion 3510, can be transmitted to adjacent roller portions via the transmission unit. Furthermore, the transmission units can be alternately positioned on both sides of the inner cover 3420. Therefore, the drive motor 3700 and multiple transmission units located on both sides of the inner cover 3420 can be located within the inner cover 3420 without interference.

[0161] The housing 3400 comprises an outer cover 3410 and an inner cover 3420 including a mounting portion 3600, the inner cover 3420 being movable along the inner side of the outer cover 3410 in the height direction of the first frame 3100. Furthermore, the open upper end hole of the mounting portion 3600 includes a transmission unit formed in the outer cover 3410 and fastened to the inner cover 3420, as well as a drive motor 3700. An outer shell is provided, configured to surround the housing 3400 and form the appearance of a leg massage portion 1300 including a foot massage unit. Therefore, the housing 3400, located inside the outer shell, is provided in a form that does not expose its appearance and is fixed to the outer shell.

[0162] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this invention, the roller unit 3500 includes three roller portions arranged in three rows. Additionally, the drive motor 3700 located on the outer side of the inner cover 3420 is configured to be directly fastened to the rotation axis of the first roller portion 3510.

[0163] Therefore, the housing 3400 of the foot massage unit is fixed inside the outer shell, and the inner cover 3420 can move relative to the outer cover 3410 in the height direction.

[0164] exist Figures 7 to 8In this embodiment of the present invention, the connection relationship of the foot massage unit lifting device is shown.

[0165] Here, Figure 7 This shows the state of the lifting unit 3300 before it is deployed. Figure 8 This illustrates the state in which the rear ends of the second frame 3200 and the inner cover 3420 are raised by deploying the lifting unit 3300. Furthermore, Figure 8 The diagram shows the rear ends of the second frame 3200 and the inner cover 3420 raised when the lifting unit 3300 is not deployed.

[0166] The back of the foot massage unit includes a first frame 3100 and a second frame 3200 spaced apart from the upper surface of the first frame 3100. Additionally, a lifting unit 3300 is included between the first frame 3100 and the second frame 3200 and configured to move the second frame 3200 upwards. The lifting unit 3300 is positioned to contact the rear back of the second frame 3200 adjacent to the main frame 2000.

[0167] The lifting unit 3300 can receive driving force from the body massage unit to expand or contract. Furthermore, in one embodiment of this invention, at least one airbag that expands in the height direction can be stacked. Here, the lifting unit 3300, composed of multiple airbags, can inject air into each airbag to adjust the height of the second frame 3200 in multiple stages. Therefore, the control unit is configured to inject air into a selected airbag in response to user input, causing the rear end of the second frame 3200 to rise.

[0168] With its axis fixed to the lifting hinge portion 3110 located at the front end of the first frame 3100, the second frame 3200 rotates in response to the vertical movement of the lifting unit 3300. Furthermore, the lifting hinge portion 3110 is fastened to the rotation axis of the first roller portion 3510 located on the back side of the mounting portion 3600, and with the rotation axis of the first roller portion 3510 as a reference, the rear end of the second frame 3200 adjacent to the main frame 2000 rotates with the lifting hinge portion 3110 as a reference.

[0169] The inner cover 3420, configured to surround the second frame 3200, is secured by a foot cover fixing bracket 3120 located between the first frame 3100 and the outer cover 3410. Furthermore, the foot cover fixing bracket 3120 is located on both sides between the first frame 3100 and the outer cover 3410, and includes a guide groove 3130 on at least one side. Additionally, the lifting unit 3300 can be positioned between the foot cover fixing brackets 3120 located on both sides of the first frame 3100.

[0170] The protrusion 3422 located on the inner cover 3420 can be inserted into the inside of the guide groove 3130 and guide the movement of the second frame 3200. More preferably, the protrusion is integrally provided with the inner cover 3420 or is provided as one of the rotation axes of the second frame 3200 or the roller unit 3500. That is, the protrusion 3422 has a shape that protrudes along the outside of the inner cover 3420 and guides the inner cover 3420 so that the inner cover 3420 can rotate along the guide groove 3130 of the foot cover fixing bracket 3120. More preferably, the guide groove 3130 can be provided as an arc shape with the same distance as the lifting hinge portion 3110 that is fastened to the rotation axis of the first roller portion 3510.

[0171] Therefore, in response to the user's request, the control unit controls the lifting unit 3300 so that the inner cover 3420 located between the outer cover 3410 and the first frame 3100 moves along the foot cover fixing bracket 3120 in the height direction.

[0172] like Figure 8 As shown, the rear end of the inner cover 3420 is raised by the lifting unit 3300 to a position protruding outward from the opening of the outer cover 3410, and the drive motor 3700, which is fastened to the rotation axis of the first roller portion 3510, moves to a position adjacent to the upper end of the outer cover 3410. Therefore, in response to the upward drive of the lifting unit 3300, the drive motor 3700 is positioned adjacent to an area that does not interfere with the outer cover 3410 while remaining inside the housing of the foot massage unit, and the rear end of the inner cover 3420 can protrude at least partially above the opening of the outer cover 3410 and rise. In addition, even when the inner cover 3420 is raised, it remains inside the housing surrounding the leg massage portion 1300, so the upward drive of the inner cover 3420 is not exposed outside the leg massage portion 1300.

[0173] Furthermore, after the rear end of the inner cover 3420 is rotated and raised by the lifting unit 3300, the rear end of the inner cover 3420 can be fixed in a state held by the outer cover 3410, and the lifting unit 3300 located at the fixed rear end of the inner cover 3420 can be positioned in a state where air is discharged. Here, the means for fixing the inner cover 3420 may include a locking structure for the protrusion 3422 or any structure that can fix the inner cover 3420.

[0174] Furthermore, the drive unit 2200 is located at the rear end of the first frame 3100 adjacent to the main frame 2000, fixed to the first frame 3100. In addition, the drive unit 2200 is positioned along the height direction of the first frame 3100, and the drive unit 2200 can be located undisturbed inside the housing 3400 through the recess 3421 of the housing 3400.

[0175] Additionally, the side of the inner cover 3420 where the drive motor 3700 is located may include a transmission unit connected to the rotation shafts of the second and third roller portions. Furthermore, the transmission unit connected to the rotation shafts of the first roller portion 3510 and the second roller portion may be located on the other side of the inner cover 3420. That is, the transmission unit may be alternately positioned in areas on both sides of the inner cover 3420 that do not interfere with the drive motor 3700.

[0176] Figure 9 This is a top view showing the lifting device of the foot massage unit of this utility model.

[0177] As shown in the figure, in the roller unit 3500 of this utility model, the first roller part 3510, the second roller part and the third roller part are located in the mounting part 3600 of the inner cover 3420 along the length direction.

[0178] Furthermore, the drive motor 3700 located on one side of the inner cover 3420 can be configured to be fastened to the rotation shaft of the first roller portion 3510. Therefore, the rotational force of the drive motor 3700 is transmitted to the rotation shaft of the first roller portion 3510.

[0179] Furthermore, the other side of the inner cover 3420 where the drive motor 3700 is located includes a transmission unit that connects the rotation shaft of the first roller portion 3510 and the rotation shaft of the second roller portion. That is, when the rotational force of the drive motor 3700 is applied to the first roller portion 3510, the second roller portion, which is fastened to the rotation shaft of the first roller portion 3510, can rotate integrally with the first roller portion 3510 through the transmission unit.

[0180] Furthermore, it may also include a transmission unit located on one side of the inner cover 3420 including the drive motor 3700 to fasten the rotation shafts of the second roller portion and the third roller portion to each other. Therefore, in response to the rotational force of the drive motor 3700 that applies rotational force to the first roller portion 3510, the entire roller unit 3500 can rotate as a whole.

[0181] The transmission unit may include a connecting structure such as a belt or gears to fasten two rotating shafts together, and the two rotating shafts connected by the transmission unit are configured to have the same rotational speed. Conversely, by varying the gear ratio constituting the transmission unit, the pulley radius of the rotating shaft used to fasten the belt, etc., the rotating shafts at both ends fastened to the transmission unit can be configured to have different rotational speeds.

[0182] The rear end of the inner cover 3420 can be positioned adjacent to the drive unit 2200. Furthermore, compared to the held state, the rear end of the inner cover 3420 can be further spaced apart relative to the height direction of the first frame 3100 in response to the drive of the lifting unit 3300. That is, the inner cover 3420, positioned around the second frame 3200, moves integrally with the second frame 3200 in the height direction. Additionally, a recess 3421 may be included, which, in response to the movement of the second frame 3200, prevents interference with the drive unit 2200. This is because the inner cover 3420 is positioned to ensure longitudinal space for the placement portion 3600 and to prevent the drive unit 2200, positioned adjacent to the main frame 2000, from interfering with the height direction movement of the inner cover 3420.

[0183] Therefore, in the inner cover 3420 including the recess 3421, the second frame 3200 can move along the height direction of the first frame 3100 without interfering with the drive unit 2200. When the first frame 3100 and the second frame 3200 are positioned relatively adjacent to each other, the inner cover 3420 can be positioned such that the drive unit 2200 is adjacent to the recess 3421.

[0184] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, this utility model includes an inner cover 3420 that rises vertically relative to an outer cover 3410. The inner cover 3420 includes a footrest 3600 and a roller unit 3500 located on the back of the footrest 3600. Furthermore, a lifting device is provided: a second frame 3200 is configured to rotate and rise integrally with the inner cover 3420 via a lifting unit 3300 located between the first frame 3100 and the second frame 3200, allowing the height of the back of the footrest 3600 to be selectively raised in response to a user's request.

[0185] Figure 10A This is a cross-section showing the structure in which the first frame 3100 and the second frame 3200 are positioned adjacent to each other before the lifting unit 3300 is driven.

[0186] As shown in the figure, with the lifting unit 3300 not extended along the upper surface of the first frame 3100, the back of the second frame 3200 is positioned closest to the first frame 3100. Furthermore, the roller unit 3500 located on the second frame 3200 is positioned at the lowest relative position inside the outer casing of the foot massage unit.

[0187] In addition, the drive motor 3700 located on one side of the inner cover 3420 is adjacent to the back of the housing and is positioned at the lowest point to apply rotational force to the first roller portion 3510 which is fastened to the second frame 3200.

[0188] That is, when the lifting unit 3300 is not driven, the second frame 3200 and the inner cover 3420 can remain adjacent to the first frame 3100.

[0189] On the contrary, such as Figure 10B As shown, in response to user input, the lifting unit 3300 can be deployed, allowing the rear end of the second frame 3200 in the length direction to move along the height direction with the first frame 3100 as a reference.

[0190] When the lifting unit 3300 located on the upper surface of the first frame 3100 is unfolded, the second frame 3200 located on the upper surface of the lifting unit 3300 rises integrally in the height direction. More preferably, with the lifting hinge portion 3110 located on the first frame 3100 and fastened to the rotation axis of the first roller portion 3510 as a reference, the rear end of the second frame 3200 rotates and moves in the unfolding direction of the lifting unit 3300.

[0191] Therefore, the rear end of the second frame 3200 adjacent to the main frame 2000 rotates and moves along the height direction with reference to the front end of the second frame 3200 that is fastened to the lifting hinge portion 3110. Furthermore, when the inner cover 3420 and the second frame 3200 rise, the front end of the second frame 3200 is configured to rotate as the rotation center axis of the rear ends of the inner cover 3420 and the second frame 3200. Additionally, the protrusion 3422, formed by the rotation axis of the inner cover 3420 or the roller unit 3500, is configured to guide the rear ends of the inner cover and the second frame 3200 upwards along the guide groove 3130 located in the foot cover fixing bracket 3120. However, in addition to the structure of the guide groove 3130 fastened to the protrusion 3422, any structure capable of guiding the rear end of the second frame 3200 to rotate with reference to the rotation axis of the second frame 3200 fastened to the lifting hinge portion 3110 can be included. Therefore, the fastening structure of the guide groove 3130 and the protrusion 3422 of this utility model can include all the connection relationships that can guide the rotation of the second frame 3200.

[0192] In one embodiment of this invention, the lifting unit 3300 may be provided with multiple airbags stacked along the upper surface of the first frame 3100, and the front end of the lifting unit 3300 may be fixed between the first frame 3100 and the second frame 3200, so that the rear end of the lifting unit 3300, which consists only of airbags, unfolds along the height direction. The multiple airbags may be secured to the body massage section via air tubes, and air can be injected into each airbag through the air tubes under valve control. Furthermore, as valves, an on / off valve secured to an air canister applying discharge pressure, or an electromagnetic valve configured to selectively open and close, may be used.

[0193] That is, the lifting unit 3300, which consists of multiple airbags, can be controlled to inject air into each of the stacked airbags, thus allowing adjustment of the lifting height of the lifting unit 3300. Therefore, the height of the lifting unit 3300, set in response to user input, can be set in response to the deployment of at least one airbag. Thus, the control unit can control the valve in response to a user request, causing air to be injected into the selected airbag.

[0194] like Figure 10B As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the lifting unit 3300 may be configured to include three airbags and to inject air into each airbag in response to user input. That is, the user can control the height of the back of the mounting part 3600 in three levels, and inject air into each airbag according to the user's selection, thereby controlling the height of the lifting unit 3300.

[0195] Therefore, this utility model provides a foot massage unit lifting device, which changes the height of the inner cover including the mounting part 3600 by means of the lifting unit 3300, thereby improving user convenience.

[0196] The technical concept of this utility model has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this is only an exemplary description of the preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications and imitations can be made without departing from the technical concept of this utility model.

[0197] Furthermore, the structure and function of the massage device described in this manual can be extended and applied to various (wearable) health care devices that provide health care functions (e.g., massage function, biosignal measurement function, etc.). Therefore, the term "massage device" in this manual can be replaced with "(wearable) health care device" for further explanation.
