Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a neck traction device, and more specifically, to a neck traction device that can effectively perform traction and extension by inflating a pair of air bladders, thereby correcting baldness syndrome and thus helping to prevent and treat cervical disc herniation. Background Technology

[0002] Generally speaking, people who use computers for long periods of time unconsciously sit in a slightly hunched posture, with the back of their necks often sticking out.

[0003] Even without stretching your neck out to look at the monitor, your neck will naturally stretch forward over time, eventually changing your posture.

[0004] Generally, cervical hunchback syndrome refers to the symptoms caused by an abnormal forward-extending posture of the neck when using information processing devices such as computers or mobile phones, as described above. This leads to excessive load on the neck and can cause not only myofascial pain, headaches, sleep disorders, and breathing difficulties, but also cervical disc herniation.

[0005] To correct this penile neck syndrome, Korean Patent Publication No. 2016-0127872 discloses a penile neck measurement and correction treatment device, which consists of a functional electrical stimulator (FES) that applies electrical stimulation to the user's neck.

[0006] However, this existing turtle neck measurement and correction therapy device requires multiple electrical devices such as electromyography sensors and slope sensors to detect the user's neck slope, thus its structure is very complex and it is difficult to expect a large correction effect.

[0007] In addition to traditional electrotherapy, various neck massage devices have been disclosed to relieve symptoms of cervical disc herniation by tapping or kneading the back of the neck. However, because existing neck massage devices are configured to perform mechanical movements, the traction effect on the neck is small and the load is uneven, resulting in low corrective effect for cervical disc herniation or baldness syndrome and complex structure of the drive unit. Utility Model Content

Additionally, the body massage unit 1100 can tilt backward. As a result, the body massage unit 1100 can provide massage in a rearward tilted state. For example, the massage device 1000 may include an actuator that causes the massage device 1000 (or body massage unit 1100) to tilt backward. The massage device 1000 can tilt or return the body massage unit 1100 to its original state by actuating the aforementioned actuator. In this case, the actuator may be disposed in at least a portion of the massage device (e.g., the base frame).

[0121] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 1000 may include at least one airbag (not shown). The airbag may be located in at least one of the following areas: the body massage portion 1100 (e.g., at least one of the areas corresponding to the user's shoulder, the pelvis, and the waist in the entire area of ​​the body massage portion 1100), at least one of the following areas: the arm massage portion 1200, and at least one of the following areas: the leg massage portion 1300; but is not limited thereto, and may be disposed in multiple portions of the massage device 1000.

[0122] The massage device 1000 may include an air supply unit that supplies air to an airbag to inflate it. The air supply unit may be located inside the body massage unit 1100 or in the leg massage unit 1300. Alternatively, the air supply unit may be located outside the massage device 1000.

[0123] The massage module 100 can be disposed inside the body massage unit 1100 to provide any form of mechanical stimulation to the user accommodated in the body massage unit 1100. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the massage module 100 is movable along the main frame 1110 inside the body massage unit 1100. In other words, the massage module 100 can massage at least a part of the user's body while moving along the main frame 1110.

[0124] The main frame 1110 of the body massage unit 1100 may include a rack gear 1111a, allowing the massage module 100 to provide mechanical stimulation to various parts of the user's body while moving along the rack. For example, the massage module 100 may massage the user's back and shoulders, waist, hips, and thighs by patting or kneading at least one of these body parts. The massage module 100 may include, but is not limited to, at least one massage unit selected from ball massage units and roller massage units.

[0125] The main frame 1110 forms the internal structure of the body massage part 1100 and can be made of metal or plastic materials. For example, the main frame 1110 can be made of iron, alloy, steel, etc., but is not limited to these, and can also be made of various hard materials.

For example, the audio output module 1500 may include multiple output units, such as an upper audio output unit positioned above the seat portion that contacts the user, a front audio output unit attached to the front end of the left and right arm massage portions of the seat portion, and / or a rear audio output unit attached to the rear end of the arm massage portions 1200, etc., but is not limited to these. In this case, the audio output module 1500 can provide stereo sound such as 5.1 channels, but is not limited to these.

[0127] The arm massage unit 1200 can be disposed on at least one side of the body massage unit 1100. For example, the arm massage unit 1200 may include at least one of the following arm massage units: a first arm massage unit 1210 disposed on one side of the body massage unit 1100 for massaging one side of the user's arm; and a second arm massage unit 1230 disposed on the other side of the body massage unit 1100 for massaging the other side of the user's arm. The first arm massage unit 1210 may be disposed on one side of at least one of the seat portion and the backrest portion of the body massage unit 1100. The second arm massage unit 1230 may be disposed on the other side of at least one of the seat portion and the backrest portion of the body massage unit 1100. The first arm massage unit 1210 and the second arm massage unit 1230 may operate independently of each other based on the control of the control unit of the massage device 1000.

[0128] The leg massage unit 1300 may be disposed at the lower part of the body massage unit 1100 and / or at the lower front part of the massage device 1000. The leg massage unit 1300 may include at least one of the following: a first leg massage unit 1310 disposed on one side of the leg massage unit 1300 and massaging one side of the user's leg; and a second leg massage unit 1330 disposed on the other side of the leg massage unit 1300 and massaging the other side of the user's leg.

[0129] The leg massage unit 1300 includes a receiving space for accommodating a user's legs and can provide leg massage to the user by massaging at least a portion of the user's legs. For example, the leg massage unit 1300 may include a calf massage unit for massaging the user's lower legs and / or a foot massage unit for massaging the user's feet.

[0130] The leg massage unit 1300 can be adjusted in length according to the user's body characteristics. For example, when a tall user uses the massage device 1000, the leg massage unit 1300 needs to be longer because of the longer calves. Conversely, when a short user uses the massage device 1000, the leg massage unit 1300 needs to be shorter because of the shorter calves. Therefore, the leg massage unit 1300 can provide a leg massage customized to the user's height.

[0131] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a user can control a massage device 1000 using a massage device control device 2000. The massage device control device 2000 can be connected to the massage device 1000 via wired and / or wireless communication.

[0133] Figure 2 This is a diagram illustrating the main frame according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0134] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the main frame 1110 may include an upper frame 1111 on which the massage module 100 is provided and a base frame 1112 for supporting the upper frame 1111.

[0135] At least a portion of the upper frame 1111 may be provided with a rack. The rack is a component for guiding the massage module 100 to move up and down, and may include multiple valleys and multiple ridges.

[0136] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the racks can be arranged facing each other on both sides of the upper frame 1111, and the massage module 100 can move along the racks.

[0137] exist Figure 2 In this invention, the rack is formed along the vertical direction, but is not limited to this. The rack may include racks in the front-back direction and racks in the vertical direction. In this invention, the front-back direction may refer to the direction from the massage module 100 toward the user or the direction from the user toward the massage module 100, and may refer to the Z-axis direction.

[0138] The massage module 100 may include gears that mesh with a rack. More specifically, the massage module 100 may include gears that mesh with a rack in the forward-backward direction and a rack in the up-down direction, respectively. The gears are rotated by an actuator disposed in the massage module 100, thereby allowing the massage module 100 to move forward, backward, up, or down.

[0139] As the massage module 100 moves forward, the massage intensity can increase. Conversely, as the massage module 100 moves backward, the massage intensity can decrease.

[0140] 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.

[0141] The upper frame 1111 can be implemented in various shapes. For example, depending on the shape, the upper frame 1111 can be divided into S-frame, L-frame, S&L-frame, double S&L-frame, but is not limited to these.

[0142] An S-frame refers to a frame in which at least a portion of the upper frame 1111 includes a shape curved like an "S". An L-frame refers to a frame in which at least a portion of the upper frame 1111 includes a shape curved like an "L". An S&L frame refers to a frame that includes both a shape curved like an "S" and a shape curved like an "L". A double S&L frame refers to a frame that includes a shape curved like an "L" and two portions of shapes curved like an "S".

[0143] The base frame 1112 refers to the part of the main frame 1110 that supports the upper frame 1111 and connects to the ground. The base frame 1112 may include a base upper frame 1112a and a base upper frame 1112b.

[0144] The upper base frame 1112a can support the upper frame 1111, and the upper base frame 1112b can be connected to the ground. In addition, the upper base frame 1112a can be set in a manner that connects to the upper base frame 1112b.

[0145] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper base frame 1112a is movable along the upper base frame 1112b. For example, the upper base frame 1112a is movable forward or backward along the upper base frame 1112b. In this case, the upper frame 1111 is connected to the upper base frame 1112a, and thus can move with the movement of the upper base frame 1112a.

[0146] For example, when the upper frame 1112a moves forward, the upper frame 1111 can also move forward together; when the upper frame 1112a moves backward, the upper frame 1111 can also move backward together. This allows the body massage unit 1100 to slide.

[0147] Specifically, to allow movement of the upper base frame 1112a, a moving wheel can be provided at the lower part of the upper base frame 1112a. Additionally, a guide member capable of guiding the moving wheel can be provided at the upper part of the upper base frame 1112b. The moving wheel provided in the upper base frame 1112a moves along the guide member provided in the upper base frame 1112b, thereby allowing the upper base frame 1112a to move forward or backward.

[0148] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 1000 may not provide a sliding function. In this case, the base frame 1112 may not be separated into an upper frame and a lower frame.

Figure 9A This is a diagram illustrating the pelvic airbag and hip airbag of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9B This is a diagram illustrating the position and inflation state of the pelvic and hip airbags of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 This is a diagram illustrating the structure of the rear pelvic airbag and the front pelvic airbag of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11A This is a diagram illustrating the rear pelvic airbag and the front pelvic airbag of an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 11B This is a diagram illustrating the inflated state of the rear and front pelvic airbags of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 12 This is a diagram illustrating the relative positions of the front pelvic airbag and the buttock airbag of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0190] like Figure 5A As shown, the massage device 1000 according to this embodiment may include a backrest 210 supporting the user and a seat 220.

[0191] For example, the massage device 1000 may include a backrest 210 that supports at least a portion of the user's upper body and a seat 220 that supports at least a portion of the user's lower body, and may include a pelvic airbag 300 and a hip airbag 400.

[0192] The pelvic airbag 300 is located on both sides of the seat portion 220, that is, on both sides of the seat surface formed on the seat portion, and is disposed on the upper part of the seat portion 220 and fixed to the airbag fastening portion 310. The hip airbag 400 can be located on the seat surface of the seat portion.

[0193] The pelvic airbag 300 can massage the user's pelvis and / or thighs by applying pressure, or it can change the position of the user's pelvis and / or hips. For example, in the pelvic airbag 300, an airbag located only on one side of the seat 220 inflates to push the user's pelvis to the other side of the seat 220, or an airbag located only on the other side of the seat 220 inflates to push the user's pelvis to one side of the seat 220.

[0194] The hip airbag 400 can massage by applying pressure to the user's hips and / or lower thighs, or it can change the position of the user's hips and / or buttocks. For example, the hip airbag 400 inflates and applies pressure to the user's hips and / or lower thighs, and the pelvic airbag 300 inflates and applies pressure simultaneously in the same direction on both sides, thereby lifting the user's lower body upwards and to the center of the seat 220 with reference to the seating surface of the seat 220.

[0195] Specifically, as the hip airbags 400 inflate simultaneously on both sides, pressing against the user's hips and / or lower thighs, the user's hips and / or thighs are lifted. In this state, the pelvic airbags 300 inflate simultaneously on both sides, aligning with the user's lower body on the seating surface of the seat section 220. More specifically, with the pelvic airbags 300, one end protrudes further forward than one end of the hip airbags 400, and the other end protrudes further backward than the other end of the hip airbags 400. Therefore, pressure can be applied to the sides and top of the user's hips and / or thighs in a manner that covers the hip airbags 400, thereby moving the user's lower body from the seating surface of the seat section 220 to the center.

[0196] The massage device 1000 is disposed on the upper part of the seat 220 and may include a seat cushion made of padding material so that the user can sit comfortably on the seat.

[0197] Although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the seat cushion may consist of a foam layer made of a cushion or the like that constituting the user's seating surface, and a covering portion made of, for example, fabric or leather, arranged around the foam layer. In this case, the covering portion may be arranged around the outer side of the foam layer, wherein the hip airbag 400 may be located on the upper part of the covering portion, and in the entire upper region of the covering portion, in the area where the user's hips rest. For example, one end of the hip airbag 400, i.e., the airbag 410a, may be fixedly connected to the upper rear (or upper back) of the covering portion, in the area where the user's hips rest, in the entire upper region of the covering portion.

[0198] Furthermore, the pelvic airbag 300 can be of a predetermined size in the front and back and can be segmented.

[0199] Furthermore, one end of the pelvic airbag 300 protrudes further forward than one end of the gluteal airbag 400, and the other end protrudes further backward than the other end of the gluteal airbag 400, giving the pelvic airbag 300 a protruding shape along the length of the gluteal airbag 400. More preferably, the pelvic airbag 300 can be configured to surround the entire length of the gluteal airbag 400. For this purpose, the pelvic airbag 300 can have a predetermined size in both the front and rear and be segmented.

[0200] More specifically, the pelvic airbag 300 may include: a rear pelvic airbag 302 located on both sides of the seat portion 220, in other words, located on both sides of the rear of the seating surface; and a front pelvic airbag 304 located adjacent to the rear pelvic airbag 302 on both sides of the front of the seat portion 220, in other words, located on both sides of the front of the seating surface.

[0201] Here, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 is located behind the user's pelvis, and Figure 5B As shown, it is configured to apply stimulation to the pelvis (e.g., the posterior part of the pelvis or the posterior side of the pelvis) and the lateral part of the thigh (e.g., the upper lateral part of the thigh) when it expands by injecting air.

[0202] In addition, since the posterior pelvic airbag 302 can stimulate the lower side of the thigh through the expansion of the gluteal airbag 400, it interacts with the gluteal airbag 400 and can evenly stimulate the upper and lower side of the thigh when it is inflated by injecting air.

[0203] like Figure 11A As shown, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 may include a relatively larger number of airbags 302a compared to the number of airbags 304a included in the anterior pelvic airbag 304.

[0204] Specifically, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 may include two or more air bags 302a, and the anterior pelvic airbag 304 may include fewer air bags 304a than the posterior pelvic airbag 302.

[0205] Therefore, the number of air bags 302a included in the posterior pelvic air bag 302 and the number of air bags 304a included in the anterior pelvic air bag 304 are different, so that when inflated by injecting air, different stimuli can be applied to the pelvis and thigh from the front and back, taking into account the body characteristics.

[0206] In other words, such as Figure 11BAs shown, in order to provide stimulation to the front portion of the thighs when inflated by air injection, the anterior pelvic airbag 304 may include three air bags 304a, and in order to provide stimulation to the posterior portion of the pelvis including the upper part of the thighs when inflated by air injection, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 may include four air bags 302a.

[0207] In this embodiment, it is described that the number of air bags 302a included inside the posterior pelvic air bag 302 is set to four, and the number of air bags 304a included inside the anterior pelvic air bag 304 is set to three, but this only corresponds to one embodiment and is not definitive.

[0208] For example, it is described that the number of air bags 302a included inside the posterior pelvic air bag 302 is set to five, and the number of air bags 304a included inside the anterior pelvic air bag 304 is set to four, etc. The number of air bags 302a and air bags 304a can be selectively set as needed.

[0209] Preferably, the inflation can be controlled such that the airbag 302a included inside the posterior pelvic airbag 302 and the airbag 304a included inside the anterior pelvic airbag 304 inflate simultaneously (see reference). Figure 11B This allows for simultaneous pressure on the front and back of the user's pelvis from the side, effectively stimulating the pelvis.

[0210] In this embodiment, it is described that the airbag 302a included inside the rear pelvic airbag 302 and the airbag 304a included inside the front pelvic airbag 304 are inflated simultaneously, but this corresponds to only one embodiment and is not definitive.

[0211] For example, it is possible to control the inflation of the airbag 302a contained inside the rear pelvic airbag 302 and the airbag 304a contained inside the front pelvic airbag 304 simultaneously, but the inflation volume can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of air injected, taking into account the user's physical characteristics.

[0212] Furthermore, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 and the anterior pelvic airbag 304 can inflate and contract independently of each other. For example, as described above, the anterior pelvic airbag 302 and the posterior pelvic airbag 304 can inflate simultaneously, alternately, or only one pelvic airbag can inflate.

[0213] In addition, such as Figure 10 As shown, compared to the anterior pelvic airbag 304, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 can extend to have a relatively high height, in other words, a relatively wide area.

[0214] The reason for doing this is, as follows: Figure 12 As shown, the front end of the front pelvic airbag 304 is positioned relatively forward compared to the front end of the buttock airbag 400, and the rear end of the rear pelvic airbag 302 is positioned relatively rear compared to the rear end of the buttock airbag 400. Therefore, when inflated by injecting air, the front pelvic airbag 304 applies pressure to the user's thighs while the rear pelvic airbag 302, which has a relatively higher height (wider area) than the front airbag 304, effectively stimulates the pelvic area in the vertical direction.

[0215] On the other hand, the rear pelvic airbag 302 and the front pelvic airbag 304 that constitute the pelvic airbag 300 are formed inside the airbag and inflate based on the air flowing in through the air hose, with the airbag fixed to the outside of the seat 220.

[0216] Therefore, when the posterior pelvic airbag 302 and the anterior pelvic airbag 304 inflate by injecting air, they can stimulate the user's pelvis, front and back thighs in a direction from the outside to the inside.

[0217] like Figure 6A and Figure 6B As shown, the massage device 1000 may include a plate, a shape-retaining member 330, and an air hose (not shown). The plate includes airbag fastening portions 310 located on both sides of the seat portion 220 (e.g., upper frame 1111) and fastened to the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302, and a frame fastening portion 320 located between the airbag fastening portion 310 and the upper frame 1111.

[0218] Here, the airbag fastening part 310 is fastened to the pelvic airbag 300 to fix the position of the pelvic airbag 300. The airbag fastening part 310 extends a predetermined length in the width direction and is configured such that the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302 are located on one of its surfaces.

[0219] The airbag fastening part 310 may include an insertion hole 312 and a fixing part 314.

[0220] Insertion holes 312 pass through the airbag fastening portions 310 and are spaced apart to form a pair. Air hoses extending to a predetermined length and passing through the inlet holes 322 of the frame fastening portion 320 (for fixing the position of the air hoses) are fluidly connected to the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302, located on one surface of the airbag fastening portion 310, respectively. However, the air hoses may pass directly through the insertion holes 312 of the airbag fastening portion 310 without passing through the inlet holes 322 of the frame fastening portion 320, and be connected to the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302, respectively.

[0221] Thus, the air hose can be configured to pass through the insertion hole 312 and the inlet hole 322. Although not shown in the figure, with the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 fluidly connected to the air hose connected to the solenoid valve, when the solenoid valve is opened while the air hose is in a fixed position, air is injected into the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302, and inflation for stimulation can be achieved.

[0222] More preferably, as described above, the structure of injecting air into the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 according to the opening of the solenoid valve corresponds only to a certain embodiment and is not fixed. As an example, the air hoses connected to the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 are implemented to always be in an open state, or are also implemented to simply connect the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 to the connecting members for air inflow and air outflow via the air hoses. If the air hoses are implemented as the connecting members described above, a valve can be provided separately between each air hose and the air pump.

[0223] The fixing part 314 is disposed adjacent to the insertion hole 312 and is formed as a through airbag fastening part 310.

[0224] More preferably, the fixing part 314 can be disposed adjacent to a pair of insertion holes 312, and can be configured as a pair and arranged side by side.

[0225] For example, with the air hose passing through the insertion hole 312 and connected to the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302, a fastening member (not shown) passes through the fixing part 314 on one surface of the airbag fastening part 310 and is fastened to the other surface of the airbag fastening part 310. Thus, the fixing part 314 can constrain the air hose located on one surface of the airbag fastening part 310 by the fastening member (not shown), thereby fixing the position of the air hose on the airbag fastening part 310.

[0226] More preferably, the fastening component (not shown) may be made of wire, cable tie, cable ties, Velcro strap or tape.

[0227] The frame fastening part 320 supports the pelvic airbag 300 and the airbag fastening part 310. One end of the frame fastening part 320 is connected to the airbag fastening part 310 and the other end is connected to the upper frame 1111, thereby serving as the intermediate fastening part connecting the pelvic airbag 300 and / or the airbag fastening part 310 and the upper frame 1111.

[0228] like Figure 6BAs shown, the frame fastening part 320 is integrally formed by bending from the airbag fastening part 310 and is located between the airbag fastening part 310 and the seat frame (or upper frame 1111) that constitutes the seat part 220. In other words, it is located between the airbag fastening part 310 and the side plate 111a provided on the seat frame (or upper frame 1111) and is joined in such a way that it has a predetermined inclination towards the inward side, so that the airbag fastening part 310 is configured to be inclined upward towards the inward side from the side plate 111a.

[0229] By means of the inclined configuration structure of the frame fastening part 320, the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302, which are combined with the airbag fastening part 310, are configured in the direction of introduction toward the user's pelvis, so that pelvic compression and the resulting stimulation can be effectively achieved.

[0230] Furthermore, although not shown in the figure, the air hose forms a channel for airflow and an air injection channel. As described above, when the solenoid valve is opened, air flows and is injected into the front pelvic airbag 304 and the rear pelvic airbag 302.

[0231] The shape-retaining member 330 is a member used to maintain the shape of the pelvic airbag 300, and can be fixed and fastened to the airbag fastening part 310 using cable ties or the like.

[0232] Additionally, the shape-retaining member 330 can be made of polyethylene (PE) material, and as... Figure 9A and Figure 9B As shown, compared to the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302, it can be formed to have a relatively higher and longer height and length. Therefore, the shape-retaining member 330 is configured to integrally surround the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 to maintain the shape of the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302, and can be fixed to the upper frame 1111 by the airbag fastener 310. Furthermore, when the anterior pelvic airbag 304 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 are inflated, the shape-retaining member 330 can perform the function of a support.

[0233] On the other hand, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the hip airbag 400 is located on the upper side of the seat (or seat cushion), and one end of it is formed to be fixed to the cover that constitutes the seat cushion.

[0234] like Figure 9A and Figure 9BAs shown, the lower ends of the hip airbag 400 and the pelvic airbag 300 partially overlap so that when the hip airbag 400 inflates by injecting air, it can interact with the pelvic airbag 300 to provide stimulation, and are spaced apart from the movement path of the massage module 100, which moves along the main frame 1110 of the massage device 100, and are arranged on both sides of the seating surface.

[0235] Specifically, the buttock airbags 400 are respectively positioned on the movement path of the massage module 100 at locations made of material that do not obstruct external forces from the massage module 100 while having a shape less affected by external forces from the massage module 100, namely, at the left and right positions of the seat cushion spaced apart from the center.

[0236] More specifically, typically, the center of the seat portion 220 through which the massage module 100 passes is made of a first material (e.g., an elastic material such as a tight-fitting elastic pant) to increase the user's sitting comfort and effectively transmit the massage from the massage module 100 to the user, and the side portions are made of a second material (e.g., an outer material such as polyurethane (PU) and / or leather) that is not easily damaged by friction with other materials. Here, the hip airbags 400 are respectively disposed at the positions made of the second material, in other words, at the left and right positions of the seat surface.

[0237] Because the gluteal airbag 400 is formed to partially overlap with the lower end of the pelvic airbag 300 (see reference). Figure 9A and Figure 9B Therefore, it can be configured to maintain its performance during inflation and minimize interference with the pelvic airbag 300 by a predetermined size.

[0238] Additionally, the hip airbag 400 may include a plurality of symmetrically arranged airbags 410a and 420a, and the plurality of airbags 410a and 420a may be configured such that their adjacent ends at the seating surface are fixed (see reference). Figure 9A ).

[0239] The hip airbag 400 can be configured as one or more in the left and right positions, such as... Figure 9B As shown, it can be configured such that when it expands by the inflow of air, it expands at one end fixed to the seat portion 220, while the other end expands.

[0240] The buttock airbag 400 has an airbag 410a at one end and an airbag 420a at the other end, which are integrally formed and arranged to overlap each other. So that when it is inflated by injecting air, the remaining area can be inflated with one end as a reference and apply effective stimulation to the lower part of the user's thigh side.

[0241] The hip airbag 400 interacts with the pelvic airbag 300 and can provide overall stimulation to the lower side of the thigh.

[0242] That is, such as Figure 7 As shown, the gluteal airbag 400 is configured to stimulate the lower side of the thigh when it expands by injecting air. At the same time, the posterior pelvic airbag 302 is configured to expand simultaneously with the gluteal airbag 400 by injecting air and stimulate the upper side of the thigh, including the pelvis. Thus, the gluteal airbag 400 and the posterior pelvic airbag 302 can interact to evenly stimulate the upper and lower sides of the thigh.

[0243] In the case of the hip airbag 400, compared with the rear end of the hip airbag 400 adjacent to the backrest 210, the front end of the hip airbag 400 away from the backrest 210 is configured to have a relatively curved shape.

[0244] More specifically, since the front end of the hip airbag 400 is configured in an inverted triangular shape, the front end of the hip airbag 400 may not be able to effectively stimulate the lower side of the thigh. Therefore, compared with the hip airbag 400, the anterior pelvic airbag 304 is configured to protrude forward by a predetermined length L in the longitudinal direction, so as to not only provide a wide range of stimulation to the front sides of the user's thigh, but also to stimulate the areas that cannot be effectively stimulated at the front end of the hip airbag 400 through the anterior pelvic airbag 304 configured as described above.

[0245] At this time, as described above, compared with the posterior pelvic airbag 302, the anterior pelvic airbag 304 is formed with a relatively high height and a relatively large area, thereby effectively stimulating the front end of the gluteal airbag 400.

Figure 22 This is a diagram of a second embodiment illustrating the tightening state of the air hose of a neck traction device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 23 This is a diagram of a second embodiment illustrating the fixing structure of the air hose of the neck traction device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 24 This is a diagram illustrating a massage device equipped with a neck traction device, according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0247] The neck traction device 10 for traction of the user's neck will be described below.

[0248] like Figure 24 As shown, the neck traction device 10 is included in the massage device 1000 together with the massage device including the improved airbag according to the above embodiment, and can be used in various ways, such as being disposed on the floor (ground, etc.) and used, or being disposed in the massage device 1000 and used, etc.

[0249] In other words, the massage device 1000 may include the neck traction device described below. For example, the neck traction device may be located in the upper region of the massage device 1000, which corresponds to the head and neck of the user sitting on the massage device 1000.

[0250] like Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the neck traction device according to this embodiment includes a cover unit 20 and an airbag unit 30.

[0251] The cover unit 20 includes a generally U-shaped insertion slot H, which is preferably fixed directly below the head support 1000a, which is one of the multiple structures constituting the neck traction device 10 for supporting the user's head (see reference). Figure 20 and Figure 22 At this time, the head support portion 1000a is connected to the cover unit 20 and can support the user's head. In addition, the head support portion 1000a extends long from the cover unit 20 and is fastened to a fastening member (not shown) formed at the upper end of the massage device 1000, thereby fastening the neck traction device 10 and the massage device 1000.

[0252] However, although the cover unit 20 can be fixedly installed in the massage device 1000 as described above, this only corresponds to one embodiment and is not fixed. When the bottom surface is formed to be flat, it can be placed on the floor.

[0253] The cover unit 20 can be formed by sequentially combining a rear cover 20-2 and a front cover 20-4 with a flat bottom surface. In this combined state of the rear cover 20-2 and the front cover 20-4, the front cover foam 20-6 that forms the appearance can be formed on the front cover 20-4 and finally form the cover unit 20.

[0254] like Figure 15 As shown, the cover unit 20 may include a mounting portion 21, a first protrusion 22, and a second protrusion 23.

[0255] The placement section 21 is generally U-shaped and includes an insertion slot H, thereby supporting the neck of the user being placed.

[0256] The placement part 21 is located at the center of the front cover 20-4, which includes the front cover foam 20-6. Specifically, the center of the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 constituting the airbag unit 30 is approximately U-shaped and is adjacent to each other, and the user's neck is stably supported by this shape.

[0257] Furthermore, the first protrusion 22 has a predetermined height and protrudes along the massage surface that is inclined at one end of the cover unit 20.

[0258] In addition, the second protrusion 23 has the same shape as the first protrusion 22, and protrudes at a predetermined height along the massage surface formed at the other end of the cover unit 20.

[0259] More preferably, the first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 23 are arranged to be symmetrical to each other with respect to the mounting portion 21.

[0260] Meanwhile, the cover unit 20 may be provided with a fixing part 24 located on the first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 23 respectively (see reference). Figure 13 ),like Figure 20 and Figure 22 As shown, the belt section 60 can be fixed in each belt fixing section 24.

[0261] The strap 60 can be fastened and fixed to the strap fixing part 24 formed extending along the length direction from the first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 23. The user's body can be fixed by wrapping around the user's body (e.g., the head such as the forehead) placed in the insertion slot H, so that effective traction can be achieved when the user's neck is pulled by the airbag unit 30.

[0262] More preferably, since the strap 60 is the part that is directly attached to the user's body, it can be made of a soft material and its length can be adjusted and fixed by means of Velcro or the like.

[0263] On the other hand, the airbag unit 30 is located in the insertion slot H, such as Figure 15 As shown, the airbag units 30 are arranged in pairs, consisting of a first airbag 31 on one side and a second airbag 32 on the other side, thereby being configured to inflate the area located in the placement portion 21.

[0264] That is, the first airbag 31 is configured to cover at least a portion of one end of the cover unit 20, and the second airbag 32 is configured to cover at least a portion of the other end of the cover unit 20. Both the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 are configured to inflate at the placement portion 21 (see reference). Figure 15 ).

[0265] More preferably, since the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 are configured to cover at least a portion of the first protrusion 22 and the second protrusion 23, they have an inclination in a diagonal direction corresponding to each other, so that when inflated, they push upward and pressurize the sides of the back of the user's neck located in the placement part 21, thereby enabling quick, accurate and easy traction of the user's neck.

[0266] Furthermore, unlike existing systems that apply pressure to the center of the user's neck by inflating an airbag, the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 apply pressure to the center of the user's neck by inflating it when the user's neck is positioned between the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32. Therefore, when performing the traction mode, the lateral movement of the user's neck can be restricted.

[0267] Here, although not shown in the accompanying drawings, the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 can be formed by covering the surface of the front cover foam 20-6 with an outer material such as leather or cloth.

[0268] like Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, one end of each of the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 can be inserted into the fastening part 21-2 formed in the placement part 21 and fixed integrally with the cover unit 20.

[0269] In other words, with one end of each of the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 penetrating the top of the front cover foam 20-6 and the front cover 20-4 and inserted into the fastening part 21-2 (see reference). Figure 16 The fastening member (not shown) is fastened to each of the first fastening part 20-4a and the second fastening part 20-4b located on the back of the front cover 20-4 (see reference). Figure 17 This allows it to be fixed integrally to the cover unit 20.

[0270] Here, the fastening component (not shown) may be made of screws, but this only corresponds to one embodiment and is not fixed. Any type of fastening pin, rivet, etc., with the same purpose can be used.

[0271] And, as Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the first airbag 31 is configured to cover at least a portion of the first protrusion 22. At this time, at least a portion of the other end of the first airbag 31 can be inserted into and fixed to the first fixing part 22-2 located at the outer end of the first protrusion 22.

[0272] That is, as described above, with one end of the first airbag 31 penetrating through the top of the front cover foam 20-6 and the front cover 20-4 and inserted into the fastening part 21-2, the first airbag 31 is fastened to the first fastening part 20-4a located on the back of the front cover 20-4 (see reference). Figure 16 The other end is inserted into and fixed to the first fixing part 22-2 located at the outer end of the first protrusion 22, so that it can be integrally fixed to the cover unit 20.

[0273] Similar to one end of the first airbag 31, the other end of the first airbag 31 passes through the first fixing part 22-2, and the fastening member (not shown) is fastened to the third fastening part 20-4c located on the back of the front cover 20-4 (see reference). Figure 17 This allows it to be fixed integrally to the cover unit 20.

[0274] Here, the fastening component (not shown) may be made of screws, but this only corresponds to one embodiment and is not fixed. Any type of fastening pin, rivet, etc., with the same purpose can be used.

[0275] In addition, such as Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the second airbag 32 is configured to cover at least a portion of the second protrusion 23. At this time, at least a portion of the other end of the second airbag 32 can be inserted into and fixed to the second fixing part 22-4 located at the outer end of the second protrusion 23.

[0276] That is, as described above, with one end of the second airbag 32 and one end of the first airbag 31 penetrating the top of the front cover foam 20-6 and the front cover 20-4 and inserted into the fastening part 21-2, the second airbag 32 is fastened to the second fastening part 20-4b located on the back of the front cover 20-4 (see reference). Figure 16 And the other end is inserted into and fixed to the second fixing part 22-4 located on the outer end of the second protrusion 23, so that it can be integrally fixed to the cover unit 20.

[0277] Similar to one end of the second airbag 32, the other end of the second airbag 32 passes through the second fixing part 22-4, and the fastening member (not shown) is fastened to the fourth fastening part 20-4d located on the back of the front cover 20-4 (see reference). Figure 17 This allows it to be fixed integrally to the cover unit 20.

[0278] Here, the fastening component (not shown) may be made of screws, but this only corresponds to one embodiment and is not fixed. Any type of fastening pin, rivet, etc., with the same purpose can be used.

[0279] On the other hand, such as Figure 18 As shown, the neck traction device 10 according to this embodiment may further include an air hose 30a, which includes a first valve 41 and a second valve 42.

[0280] This air hose 30a is configured to selectively supply air to the airbag unit 30, which includes a first airbag 31 and a second airbag 32.

[0281] Air hoses 30a can be configured as a pair, extending in a predetermined length, each passing through a first through-portion 20-4e and a second through-portion 20-4f on the back of the front cover 20-4, and connected to the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 via a first valve 41 and a second valve 42.

[0282] Preferably, the first valve 41 and the second valve 42 can be implemented as valves that can be opened and closed, but this only corresponds to one embodiment and is not fixed. For example, the first valve 41 and the second valve 42 can be implemented as valves that are always in the open state, or they can simply be implemented as connecting members that connect the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 to the air hose 30a for air inflow and air outflow. As mentioned above, if the first valve 41 and the second valve 42 are implemented as connecting members, an additional valve can be provided between each air hose and the air pump.

[0283] In other words, one air hose 30a is configured to be connected to the first valve 41 and selectively supply air to the first airbag 31 by controlling the opening and closing of the first valve 41, and the other air hose 30a is configured to be connected to the second valve 42 and selectively supply air to the second airbag 32 by controlling the opening and closing of the second valve 42.

[0284] Here, the first valve 41 is fluidly connected to the air hose 30a, passes through the first protrusion 22, and is fastened to the first airbag 31, as... Figure 18 As shown, the outlet can be configured to be opposite to the direction of the expansion of the first airbag 31.

[0285] That is, since the outlet of the first valve 41 is located on the diagonal direction of the expansion of the first airbag 31 and is fastened to the side of the first protrusion 22, the problem of interference caused by the outlet can be prevented in advance when the placement part 21 supports the user's neck.

[0286] Similarly, the second valve 42 is fluidly connected to the air hose 30a, passes through the second protrusion 23, and is fastened to the second airbag 32, as shown. Figure 18 As shown, the outlet can be configured to be opposite to the direction of the expansion of the second airbag 32.

[0287] That is, since the outlet of the second valve 42 is located in the diagonal direction of the expansion of the second airbag 32 and is fastened to the side of the second protrusion 23, the problem of interference caused by the outlet can be prevented in advance when the placement part 21 supports the user's neck.

[0288] On the other hand, such as Figure 19 As shown, the neck traction device 10 according to this embodiment may further include a protrusion unit 50, which is respectively disposed in the placement part at a position corresponding to the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32.

[0289] Since the protruding unit 50 has a predetermined length and is formed in a protruding manner by exposing a portion from the placement portion 21, when the user's neck is in the placement portion 21, pressure (or acupressure) is applied to the user's neck when the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 contract, thereby enabling the user's neck to be massaged.

[0290] This protruding unit 50 may include a protrusion 51, an elastic member 52, and a support 53.

[0291] The protrusions 51 are provided in pairs and are formed such that they protrude from the top of the mounting portion 21, in other words, they are provided to protrude along the top of the mounting portion 21 (see reference). Figure 15 For example, the protrusion 51 may be formed such that one end (or the upper end) of the protrusion 51 protrudes from the top of the mounting portion 21.

[0292] Preferably, the protrusions 51 can be arranged in pairs at predetermined intervals to apply pressure to both sides of the user's neck located in the placement part 21. More preferably, the protrusions 51 can be arranged so that each is adjacent to one end of the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 located in the center of the placement part 21.

[0293] Here, the protrusion 51 is described as a pair of protrusions 51 located at the center of the placement portion 21, but this only corresponds to any one embodiment and is not fixed. More protrusions 51 may be provided at the center of the placement portion 21 to apply pressure (or acupressure) to the user's neck.

[0294] The elastic member 52 supports the protrusion 51 and provides elastic force to the protrusion 51. For example, one end of the elastic member 52 is disposed at the other end of the protrusion 51 to support the protrusion 51, so that the protrusion 51 is selectively compressed when pressed by the user's neck, thus providing elastic force to the protrusion 51.

[0295] Preferably, the elastic member 52 is located inside the protrusion 510 and is configured such that when a force is applied in the direction of pressing through the user's neck, i.e. when the protrusion 51 is pressed, the elastic member 52 is selectively compressed, thereby providing the protrusion 51 with an elastic force toward the user's neck.

[0296] Therefore, when the force applied to the protrusion 51 is released, the protrusion 51 can be restored to its state before the force was applied by the elastic force of the elastic member 52.

[0297] Additionally, the support portion 53 can support the elastic member 52. For example, the support portion 53 is configured to support one end (or lower end) of the elastic member 52, and is fastened to the back of the front cover 204 by a fastening member (not shown) (see reference). Figure 17 ), thereby fixing it to the cover unit.

[0298] In other words, the support 53 supports the elastic member 52 and can fix the position of the elastic member 52.

[0299] Here, the fastening component (not shown) may be made of screws, but this only corresponds to one embodiment and is not fixed. Any type of fastening pin, rivet, etc., with the same purpose can be used.

[0300] More preferably, such as Figure 19 As shown, the protrusion unit 50 can be configured such that the length direction of the protrusion 51 and the expansion direction of the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 are different from each other.

[0301] That is, since the protruding unit 50 is configured such that the protrusion 51 extends along the length direction, conversely, the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 are configured to expand along opposite directions, more specifically, along opposite diagonal directions (see reference). Figure 19 (The arrow direction), so when the protrusion 51 protrudes, its direction is different from each other, so that it can simultaneously satisfy its different purposes.

[0302] More specifically, the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 are configured to have corresponding tilt angles, and when inflated, they push upwards and pressurize the sides of the back of the user's neck located in the placement part 21, so that the user's neck can be pulled quickly and easily.

[0303] In addition, since the protrusion 51 protrudes vertically with the help of the elastic member 52, it applies pressure to the user's neck. The purpose is to provide effective pressure (or finger pressure) to the user's neck. Therefore, in this embodiment, by setting the direction of the protrusion 51 and the direction of the expansion of the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 to be different from each other, the purpose of traction and pressure (or finger pressure) on the user's neck can be satisfied at the same time.

[0304] First Embodiment

[0305] like Figure 20 As shown, when the air hose 30a is fixed to the massage device 1000, it can branch along both sides of the head support 1000a and be fastened to the airbag unit 30.

[0306] For example, the head support 1000a may include: an inner region, which is formed on the inner side of the head support 1000a and supports the user's head; and an outer region, which is formed on the outer side of the head support 1000a and does not support the user's head. In this case, the outer region may be formed on both sides of the inner region.

[0307] The air hose 30a can branch along the outer area of ​​the head support 1000a to prevent the air hose 30a from being blocked by the user's head, which would prevent air from being supplied to the airbag unit 30 smoothly.

[0308] That is, the air hose 30a can be formed in a branched manner so that the air supplied from the air supply section 30-2 can flow smoothly to inflate the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32.

[0309] At this time, the air supply unit 30-2 may be included in the massage device 1000 and / or the neck traction device 10, and is therefore controlled by the control unit 1400 of the massage device 1000 and / or the controller (not shown) of the neck traction device 10, so that it can operate.

[0310] Therefore, when airflow control is performed via the controller (not shown) of the neck traction device 10 and / or the control unit 1400 of the massage device 1000, the air hose 30a supplies air while all the first valves 41 and the second valves 42 are open, causing the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 to inflate separately or simultaneously. This pushes upwards and pressurizes the back sides of the user's neck located in the placement part 21, thereby enabling quick and easy traction of the user's neck.

[0311] Here, as Figure 21As shown, the air hoses 30a connected to the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 are installed in the state of being inserted into the edge region of the head support 1000a, respectively.

[0312] In addition, since one or more assembly rings 1000a-1 are provided in this edge area, the position of the air hose 30a can be fixed in the edge area.

[0313] Therefore, since the air hose 30a can be fixed in the edge area, the problem of the air hose 30a being pressed by the user's head can be prevented in advance, so that the air for expansion can be stably supplied through the air hose 30a.

[0314] Second Embodiment

[0315] like Figure 22 As shown, the first air hose 30a-1 and the second air hose 30a-2 are separately provided along both sides of the head support 1000a and fastened to the airbag unit 30, so that the air hose 30a can receive air through the air supply unit 30-2.

[0316] At this time, the air supply unit 30-2 may include: a first air supply unit 30-2, which is connected to the first air hose 30a-1 and supplies air to the first air hose 30a-1; and a second air supply unit 30-2', which is connected to the second air hose 30a-2 and supplies air to the second air hose 30a-2.

[0317] That is, the air hose 30a has a first air hose 30a-1 and a second air hose 30a2, and is configured to be connected to the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 respectively, such that the air supplied by the first air supply section 30-2 and the second air supply section 30-2' connected to the first air hose 30a-1 and the second air hose 30a-2 respectively causes the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 to inflate.

[0318] Thus, when airflow control is performed via the controller (not shown) of the neck traction device 10 and / or the control unit 1400 of the massage device 1000, the first air hose 30a-1 and the second air hose 30a-2 supply air by selectively opening the control valves 41 and 42, or by valves separately provided between their respective air hoses and the air pump (e.g., the valve corresponding to the first valve 41 and the valve corresponding to the second valve 42), thereby allowing the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 to expand in at least one of cross-expansion and simultaneous expansion.

[0319] For example, when controlled to inflate the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 simultaneously, or to inflate either the first airbag 31 or the second airbag 32, or to inflate the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 in a cross-inflation manner to inflate the first airbag 31 and the second airbag 32 simultaneously, the user's neck is pushed upward and pressure is applied, thereby quickly and easily tractioning the user's neck. When repeatedly controlled to selectively inflate either the first airbag 31 or the second airbag 32, the user's neck can be massaged.

[0320] Here, as Figure 23 As shown, the first air hose 30a-1 and the second air hose 30a-2 can be installed in a state where they are inserted into the edge region of the head support 1000a, and since this edge region is provided with more than one assembly ring 1000a-1, the positions of the first air hose 30a-1 and the second air hose 30a-2 can be fixed in the edge region.

[0321] Therefore, since the first air hose 30a-1 and the second air hose 30a-2 can be fixed in the edge area, the problem of the first air hose 30a1 and the second air hose 30a-2 being pressed by the user's head can be prevented in advance, so that the air for expansion can be stably supplied through the air hose 30a.

[0322] This invention places the buttock airbag on the seat surface of the massage device, places the pelvic airbag on both sides of the seat, and divides the pelvic airbag into a front pelvic airbag and a rear pelvic airbag, which are selectively inflated, thereby providing a massage effect on the front and back of the user's pelvis.

[0323] Furthermore, by including a relatively larger number of air bags in the posterior pelvic airbag than in the anterior pelvic airbag, this invention provides a uniform stimulation effect on the lower and upper sides of the user's thighs, together with the gluteal airbag.

[0324] In addition, by making the front pelvic airbag relatively higher than the rear pelvic airbag, and by setting the front pelvic airbag to protrude forward in the length direction relative to the buttock airbag, this invention provides a wide range of stimulation to the front of the user's thighs.

[0325] 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.

[0326] 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.
