[0094] The leg massage section 2000 can be adjusted in length according to the user's body characteristics.

[0095] For example, when a taller user uses the massage device 100, the leg massage section 2000 needs to be longer because of the longer calves. Conversely, when a shorter user uses the massage device 100, the leg massage section 2000 needs to be shorter because of the shorter calves. Therefore, the leg massage section 2000 can provide a leg massage that matches the user's height.

[0096] Reference Figure 1 Multiple leg massage units 2000 can be installed, and the user's right foot and left foot can enter multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B respectively. The multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B can move relative to each other.

[0097] The multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B can be adjusted in relative length and angle.

[0098] Specifically, the length of any one leg massager can be adjusted by moving any one of the leg massagers 2000A and 2000B relative to the remaining leg massager in the longitudinal direction.

[0099] The angle of any one of the leg massage units 2000A and 2000B can be adjusted by rotating (or tilting) any one of the leg massage units relative to the remaining leg massage unit.

[0114] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 may include at least one of a frame portion 1100, a control portion 1200, a storage portion 1300, a user input portion 1400, an audio output module 1500, a network connection portion 1600, and a massage module 1700.

[0115] The frame portion 1100 may be a structure that forms the frame of the body massage portion 1000.

[0116] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the frame portion 1100 may include: a main frame (not shown in the figure) having a massage module 1700; a base frame 1130 supporting the main frame; and an inclined frame 1160 that is combined with the main frame and allows the main frame to rotate relative to the base frame 1130.

[0117] The main frame may include: a back frame 1110, which forms a frame for accommodating the user's upper body; and a seat frame 1120, which forms a frame for the seat.

[0118] At least a portion of the main frame may be provided with a rack 1112. The rack 1112 is used to guide the body massage module in the up-down direction (towards...). Figure 2 The movable component (based on) may include multiple valleys and multiple ridges.

[0119] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rack 1112 can be arranged facing each other on both sides of the main frame, specifically on the back frame 1110 and the seat frame 1120, and the body massage module can move along the rack 1112.

[0120] For example, the body massage module may include a gear that meshes with the rack 1112, the gear being rotated by an actuator disposed on the body massage module, thereby enabling the body massage module to move up or down.

[0121] The rack 1112 may be made of metallic and / or plastic materials. For example, the rack 1112 may be made of iron, steel, alloy, reinforced plastic, melamine resin, phenolic resin, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0122] The main frame can be implemented in various shapes. For example, the main frame can be classified as an S-frame, L-frame, S&L-frame, or double S&L-frame based on its shape, but it is not limited to these.

[0123] An S-frame is a frame in which at least a portion of the main frame has a curved shape resembling an "S". An L-frame is a frame in which at least a portion of the main frame includes a curved shape resembling an "L". An S&L frame is a frame in which both curved shapes resembling "S" and curved shapes resembling "L" are included. A double S&L frame is a frame in which both curved shapes resembling "L" and two parts curved shapes resembling "S".

[0124] The base frame 1130 refers to the part of the frame section 1100 that supports the main frame and is in contact with the ground. The base frame 1130 may include an upper base frame 1131 and a lower base frame 1132.

[0125] The upper base frame 1131 can support the main frame and the inclined frame 1160 connected to the main frame, while the lower base frame 1132 can contact the ground.

[0126] The inclined frame 1160 can be rotatably connected to the upper base frame 1131, and the lower base frame 1132 can be combined with the upper base frame 1131 and configured between the upper base frame 1131 and the ground.

[0127] In addition, the upper frame 1131 of the base can be connected to the lower frame 1132 of the base.

[0128] As an alternative embodiment, the upper base frame 1131 is movable along the lower base frame 1132. For example, the upper base frame 1131 is movable forward and / or backward along the lower base frame 1132. In this case, since the main frame is connected to the upper base frame 1131, it is movable as the upper base frame 1131 moves.

[0129] For example, when the upper base frame 1131 moves forward, the main frame can also move forward together; when the upper base frame 1131 moves backward, the main frame can also move backward together. This allows the body massage unit 1000 to slide.

[0130] Reference Figure 2 The front end of the base lower frame 1132 can be configured to face the side of the leg massage unit 2000.

[0131] That is, in the width direction of the massage device 100 (with Figure 1 Based on the left and right directions, the front end of the lower base frame 1132 can be configured to face the side of the leg massage unit 2000.

[0132] Specifically, it can be positioned relatively forward of the leg massage unit 2000 relative to the rotation center axis AX1 of the main frame provided in the frame unit 1100.

[0133] That is, the front end of the base lower frame 1132 can be positioned relatively forward of the leg massage part 2000 relative to the rotation center axis AX1 of the main frame (specifically the seat frame 1120).

[0134] The base lower frame 1132 may include a base contact portion 1136, at least one of its front and rear ends contacting the ground.

[0135] The control unit 1200 is capable of controlling the operation of the massage device 100. The control unit 1200 may include one processor or multiple processors. When the control unit 1200 includes multiple processors, at least some of the multiple processors may be located at physically spaced distances from each other. Furthermore, the control unit 1200 is not limited to this and may be implemented in various ways.

[0136] For example, the control unit 1200 may correspond to one or more processors. The processor may be implemented by an array of multiple logic gates, or by a combination of a general-purpose microprocessor and a memory storing a program executable in the microprocessor. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will understand that other types of hardware can be used to implement this.

[0137] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 1200 can control the operation of the massage device 100.

[0138] For example, the massage device 100 may include a plurality of actuators, and the massage device 100 may control the action of the massage device 100 by controlling the action of the plurality of actuators.

The control unit 1200 can control the operation of the massage device 100 by controlling these actuators.

[0140] The massage module movement actuator is an actuator that enables the massage module 1700 to move up and down. Through the action of the massage module movement actuator, the massage module 1700 can move along the rack 1112.

[0141] The back angle actuator is an actuator that adjusts the angle of the part of the user's back that contacts the massage device 100. The back angle of the massage device 100 can be adjusted by the movement of the back angle actuator.

[0142] The leg angle actuator is an actuator used to adjust the angle of the leg massage section 2000 of the massage device 100. The angle between the leg massage section 2000 and the body massage section 1000 can be adjusted by the action of the leg angle actuator.

[0143] The foot massage actuator is an actuator used to actuate the foot massage module included in the leg massage unit 2000. By using the foot massage actuator, the massage device 100 can provide foot massage to the user.

[0144] The massage module 1700 may include at least one actuator, and the control unit 1200 may provide a variety of massage actions by activating at least one actuator. For example, the control unit 1200 may provide tapping massage, kneading massage, etc. by activating at least one actuator included in the massage module 1700, and is not limited thereto, and may provide a variety of massage actions.

[0145] The leg length adjustment actuator is an actuator used to adjust the length of the leg massage unit 2000. For example, the control unit 1200 can use the leg length adjustment actuator to adjust the length of the leg massage unit 2000 to suit the user, so that the user can receive a massage that is suitable for their body type.

[0146] The sliding actuator enables the massage device 100 to perform a sliding motion. For example, by means of the sliding actuator, the upper base frame 1131 can move forward or backward, and as a result, the main frame connected to the upper base frame 1131 can also move forward or backward.

Multiple leg massagers 2000 can be provided, and the multiple leg massagers 2000A, 2000B can move relative to each other.

[0182] Reference Figure 11 The diagram shows a leg massager 2000A that can be inserted into the user's right foot among several leg massagers 2000A and 2000B. Since its structure, working principle and effect are the same as those of the leg massager 2000B that can be inserted into the user's left foot, the following description will be based on the leg massager 2000A that can be inserted into the user's right foot.

[0183] Reference Figure 5 , Figures 9A to 9C , Figure 10 and Figure 11The leg massage unit 2000 is rotatably connected to the body massage unit, and may include a connecting frame 2100, a calf massage unit 2200, a foot massage unit 2300, a hinge drive unit 2400, and a back frame 2500.

[0184] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 9A and Figure 11 The connecting frame portion 2100 is rotatably connected to the body massage portion with reference to a preset rotation center axis AX1, and may include a connecting frame body 2110 and a hinge shaft portion 2130.

[0185] Reference Figure 11 The connecting frame body 2110 is along the length direction (with Figure 11 Extending in the vertical direction (based on the reference), the connecting frame body 2110 can form the appearance of the connecting frame part 2100. The connecting frame body 2110 can be connected to the calf massage part 2200 and the foot massage part 2300, which will be described later.

[0186] As an alternative embodiment, the calf massage unit 2200 and the foot massage unit 2300 can be positioned relative to the connecting frame body 2110 along a predetermined direction (to... Figure 11 The leg massage unit 2000 moves relative to the user in the vertical direction (based on the user's body shape). Therefore, it can adjust the range of leg massage (i.e., the length of the leg massage section 2000) according to the various body shapes of the user seated in the massage device 100.

[0187] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9A and Figure 11 The hinge shaft 2130 is connected to the connecting frame body 2110 and can form the rotation center axis AX1 of the connecting frame body 2110.

[0188] The preset range of the hinge axis portion 2130 can be formed in a cylindrical shape. The longitudinal central axis of the hinge axis portion 2130 can be formed to be the same as the rotation central axis AX1 of the connecting frame portion 2100 relative to the frame portion 1100 (specifically the seat frame 1120) provided on the body massage portion.

[0189] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The hinge shaft portion 2130 can be configured on the frame portion 1100 (specifically the seat frame 1120) provided on the body massage portion.

[0190] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the hinge shaft portion 2130 is hollow inside and can be fixed in position on the seat frame 1120. The end of the connecting frame portion 2100 is inserted into the hinge shaft portion 2130 and can rotate relative to the hinge shaft portion 2130 with a preset rotation center axis AX1 as a reference.

[0191] When the hinge shaft portion 2130 is fixed to the seat frame 1120, the hinge shaft portion 2130 can be fixed to the seat frame 1120 by means of a bracket (not shown in the attached drawing).

[0192] Since the connecting frame 2100 can rotate relative to the body massage unit with respect to the rotation center axis AX1, the calf massage unit 2200 and the foot massage unit 2300 connected to the connecting frame 2100 can rotate together relative to the body massage unit.

[0193] As an alternative embodiment, the end of the connecting frame portion 2100 can be combined with the hinge shaft portion 2130, and the connecting frame portion 2100 and the hinge shaft portion 2130 can rotate together relative to the seat frame 1120 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction with reference to a preset rotation center axis AX1.

[0194] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 9A and Figure 11 The user's calves can be placed in the calf massage unit 2200, and the user's feet can be placed in the foot massage unit 2300. The calf massage unit 2200 and the foot massage unit 2300 receive electrical signals from the control unit 1200 to drive the massage module, thereby providing massage functions to the user's calves and feet.

[0195] The calf massage unit 2200 and the foot massage unit 2300 are respectively connected to the connecting frame unit 2100 and can move relative to the connecting frame unit 2100. The calf massage unit 2200 and the foot massage unit 2300 can move in the same direction or in opposite directions on the connecting frame unit 2100, and can approach or separate from each other.

[0196] Since the calf massage unit 2200 and the foot massage unit 2300 are connected to the connecting frame unit 2100, they can rotate together with the body massage unit in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction relative to the body massage unit with reference to a preset rotation center axis AX1.

[0197] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figures 9A to 9C and Figure 11According to an embodiment of the present invention, the hinge drive unit 2400 is combined with the body massage unit, which can transmit power to the leg massage unit 2000, and can make the leg massage unit 2000 rotate relative to the body massage unit.

[0198] The hinge drive unit 2400 can be electrically connected to the control unit 1200 and can receive electrical signals from the control unit 1200 to generate power. The hinge drive unit 2400 may include a hinge drive source unit 2410 and a hinge link unit 2430.

[0199] The hinge drive source 2410 is connected to the frame 1100 (specifically the seat frame 1120) and can receive power from an external source to generate power. The hinge drive source 2410 may include a drive rod 2411, the length of which can be adjusted when power is generated in the hinge drive source 2410.

[0200] The drive rod 2411 can transmit power to the hinge link 2430, which will be described later, to make the hinge link 2430 rotate relative to the seat frame 1120.

[0201] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9A The hinge link 2430 can contact the leg massage unit 2000 and can receive power from the hinge drive source 2410 to rotate relative to the body massage unit.

[0202] The hinge link 2430 may include: a hinge link body 2431, one side of which is connected to the drive rod 2411 and the other side is rotatably connected to the seat frame 1120; and a hinge link roller 2435, which is rotatably connected to the end of the hinge link body 2431 and is capable of contacting the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500, which will be described later).

[0203] The hinge drive unit 2400 can receive electrical signals from the control unit 1200 to drive it. Specifically, when power is generated in the hinge drive source unit 2410, the length of the drive rod 2411 is adjusted, and the hinge link unit 2430 can rotate relative to the seat frame 1120.

[0204] The hinge link roller 2435 rolls in contact with the back frame 2500, which can adjust the relative rotation angle of the leg massage unit 2000 with respect to the frame unit 1100 (specifically the seat frame 1120).

[0205] That is, when the hinge link roller 2435 rolls into contact with the back frame 2500 which is connected to the connecting frame portion 2100, the connecting frame portion 2100 and the calf massage portion 2200 and leg massage portion 2000 connected to the connecting frame portion 2100 rotate relative to the seat frame 1120 provided on the body massage portion (specifically the frame portion 1100), thereby having the effect of adjusting the leg angle of the user sitting on the massage device 100.

[0206] Reference Figure 11 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the back frame 2500 is arranged along the length direction (with...) Figure 11 Extending in the vertical direction (based on the reference), it can be set on one side of the stop part 4100, which will be described laterally, facing the rear of the leg massage part 2000. Figure 11 (The rear side is the reference).

[0207] The back frame 2500 can be made of a different material than the stop 4100 (specifically the stop body 4130) which will be described later. The back frame 2500 can be made of metal. Therefore, when the stop body 4130, made of a material capable of elastic deformation, comes into contact with the back frame 2500, the impact generated between the leg massage part 2000 and the stop 4100 can be mitigated.

[0208] As an alternative embodiment, the back frame 2500 may be made of cold-rolled carbon steel sheet (SPCC) material.

[0209] Reference Figure 11 The back frame 2500 can be connected to the side of the connecting frame 2100 facing the body massage part and the stop part 4100 (to... Figure 11 (Based on the rear side). The back frame 2500 can be positioned in the width direction of the leg massage section 2000 (with... Figure 11 The left and right directions (based on the reference) are set in the central part.

[0210] Therefore, the hinge link roller 2435 provided in the hinge link section 2430 and the stop body 4130 provided in the stop section 4100 can contact the back frame 2500 at the center with the width direction of the leg massage section 2000 as a reference, and have the effect of stably contacting and supporting the leg massage section 2000.

[0211] That is, the back frame 2500 can contact the hinge drive part 2400 and the stop part 4100 at its central part with reference to the width direction of the leg massage part 2000, thereby preventing the leg massage part 2000 from contacting the hinge drive part 2400 and the stop part 4100 in the length direction (with the width direction of the leg massage part 2000). Figure 11 The effect of rotating and misaligning based on the central axis (the vertical direction of the reference).

[0212] Reference Figure 11 The back frame 2500 has a hollow interior and can be formed in the shape of a quadrangular prism with a flat surface. However, it is not limited to this. Within the technical concept of being able to make surface contact with the stop part 4100 and the hinge link roller 2435, various modifications can be made, such as forming it in the shape of a polygonal prism.

[0213] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figures 9A to 9C and Figure 10 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cover 4000 is combined with the body massage part 1000, and a stop part 4100 can be formed in a protruding manner.

[0214] The cover 4000 can cover the internal structure of the body massage unit 1000. More precisely, it can cover the internal skeletal structure (frame structure, etc.) of the body massage unit (especially the seat), the electrical control box, the leg angle actuator, etc., thereby preventing the various components of the massage device from being exposed to the outside.

[0215] The cover 4000 is fixed to the body massage unit 1000 and can be positioned on the side of the body massage unit 1000 facing the leg massage unit 2000 (with... Figure 6 (Based on the front side) combined.

[0216] Specifically, the cover 4000 can be connected to the base frame 1130 provided on the frame portion 1100. That is, it can be positioned in front of the body massage portion 1000 by connecting to the front of the base frame 1130, which is connected to the support seat portion 1000a and the backrest (not shown in the attached drawings).

[0217] Since the cover 4000 is connected to the base frame 1130, it has the effect of preventing objects such as animals, infants, or other objects from entering the inside of the body massage part (specifically the frame part 1100) from the outside.

[0218] From another perspective, since the cover 4000 covers the area between the body massage section 1000 and the leg massage section 2000, it can prevent the internal structure of the frame section 1100 from being exposed to the outside.

[0219] In this manual, "object" refers to anything that can be located between the body massage unit 1000 and the leg massage unit 2000, such as the user's body, pets, children who are not the user sitting on the massage device 100, or other distracting objects.

[0220] Reference Figure 6 In a predetermined area of ​​the cover 4000 (specifically, one end of the cover 4000) Figure 6The lower end, which is based on the reference, has a stop portion 4100 integrally formed protruding.

[0221] The stop portion 4100 is formed on the cover portion 4000 in the direction toward the front of the leg massage portion 2000, and is located on the rotation path of the leg massage portion 2000 relative to the body massage portion 1000, and can contact the leg massage portion 2000.

[0222] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 The stop part 4100 may include a protrusion 4110, a stop body 4130, and a reinforcement part 4150.

[0223] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 9A and Figure 10 The protrusion 4110 is formed to protrude outward from the cover 4000 and can extend to one end of the cover 4000 (to... Figure 6 (Based on the lower end).

[0224] From another perspective, the protrusion 4110 can be positioned from the side of the cover 4000 facing the leg massage part 2000 along the direction towards the leg massage part 2000 (with... Figure 10 It is formed from right to left (based on the reference).

[0225] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The protrusion 4110 may be fitted with the stop body 4130. The fastening hole 4113 may be formed in the protrusion 4110 in a hole shape, and the connecting protrusion 4135 formed in the stop body 4130 may be fastened to the fastening hole 4113.

[0226] As an alternative embodiment, the protrusion 4135 can be fastened to the fastening hole 4113 by means of a threaded connection.

[0227] Reference Figure 10 The protrusion 4110 has a hollow interior, and a reinforcement 4150, which will be described later, can be disposed inside the protrusion 4110. The engaging protrusion 4135 formed on the stop body 4130 can be engaged with the reinforcement 4150 through the fastening hole 4113 formed on the protrusion 4110.

[0228] Therefore, it has the effect of preventing the stop body 4130 from detaching from the protrusion 4110 and the reinforcement 4150.

[0229] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 9A and Figure 10 Through the hole 4111, it can extend along the width direction (with) Figure 6A through hole 4110 is formed in the left-right direction (based on the reference). Specifically, through holes 4111 are formed on both sides of the protrusion 4110, through which the light generated by the safety sensor unit 5000, which will be described later, can pass.

[0230] That is, the protrusion 4110 is located on the illumination path LP of the light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000, but since the protrusion 4110 has a through hole 4111 formed through it, it has the effect of not blocking the illumination path LP.

[0231] Reference Figure 10 Along the periphery of the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 4111 formed in the protrusion 4110, a predetermined interval has a predetermined radius of curvature and can be formed in an arc shape. Therefore, when the stop part 4100 contacts and supports the leg massage part 2000, it can distribute the load of the leg massage part 2000 and provide stable support.

[0232] Reference Figure 10 The reinforcing portion 4150 located inside the protrusion 4110 may also have a through hole 4151 formed in the width direction, through which the light irradiated by the safety sensor portion 5000 can pass.

[0233] Reference Figure 10 Along the periphery of the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 4151 formed in the reinforcement 4150, a preset interval has a preset radius of curvature and can be formed in an arc shape. Therefore, when the stop part 4100 contacts and supports the leg massage part 2000, it can distribute the load of the leg massage part 2000 and provide stable support.

[0234] Reference Figure 10 The through hole 4151 formed in the reinforcing portion 4150 according to an embodiment of the present invention can overlap with the through hole 4111 formed in the protrusion 4110.

[0235] Therefore, in order to sense an object located between the leg massage section 2000 and the cover section 4000, the light irradiated by the safety sensor section 5000 can pass through the through hole 4111 formed in the protrusion 4110 and the through hole 4151 formed in the reinforcement section 4150, which can prevent the light irradiation path LP from being blocked.

[0236] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9A and Figure 10 On the side of the stop portion 4100 (specifically the protrusion 4110) facing the hinge drive portion 2400 (specifically the hinge link roller 2435) (with Figure 6The upper surface (based on the reference) can be formed with a roller mounting part 4115 having a preset radius of curvature and surface shape.

[0237] The hinge link roller 2435 can contact the roller mounting portion 4115. Since the roller mounting portion 4115 is formed in a curved shape, it can make stable contact with the outer peripheral surface of the hinge link roller 2435, which has a curved shape.

[0238] Reference Figure 6 Passing through the groove 4010, it can move along the height direction (with) Figure 6 The cover portion 4000 is formed in a groove shape in the vertical direction (based on the reference direction). Multiple through-grooves 4010 can be provided in such a way that they correspond to multiple hinge drive portions 2400 that transmit power to multiple leg massage portions 2000.

[0239] Specifically, the drive rod 2411 provided in the hinge drive section 2400 can pass through the inside of the through groove 4010 formed in the cover section 4000, so that the hinge link section 2430 connected to the drive rod 2411 can be located between the leg massage section 2000 and the cover section 4000.

[0240] Reference Figure 6 The groove 4010 can be connected to the protrusion 4110. Specifically, it can be connected to one end of the protrusion 4110 where the roller mounting portion 4115 is formed. Figure 6 Connect the upper end (based on the reference).

[0241] Reference Figures 6 to 8 , Figure 9A and Figure 10 The stop body 4130 is combined with the side of the protrusion 4110 facing the leg massage part 2000, and can contact the leg massage part 2000.

[0242] Specifically, the stop body 4130 can be connected to a protrusion 4110 that protrudes from a predetermined area formed in the cover portion 4000, and can be connected to one end of the protrusion 4110 facing the leg massage portion 2000 (to... Figure 9A (Based on the left end).

[0243] The stop body 4130 can be made of a material that can be elastically deformed. Therefore, when the leg massage part 2000, which can rotate relative to the body massage part, comes into contact with the stop part 4100, it can cushion the impact and prevent damage caused by contact and collision between the stop part 4100 and the leg massage part 2000.

[0244] As an alternative embodiment, within the technical concept of mitigating the impact that may occur when in contact with the area of ​​the leg massage unit 2000 formed of a metallic material, the stop body 4130 may be made of a non-metallic material (specifically, a plastic material).

[0245] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The engaging protrusion 4135 can be formed on the side of the stop body 4130 facing the protrusion 4110 in a way that protrudes outward. The engaging protrusion 4135 can be fastened to the fastening hole 4113 formed in the protrusion 4110.

[0246] The protrusion 4135 can pass through the fastening hole 4113 and engage with the reinforcement 4150 disposed inside the protrusion 4110. Therefore, it has the effect of preventing the stop body 4130 from disengaging from the protrusion 4110 and the reinforcement 4150.

[0247] Reference Figure 10 The side of the stopper body 4130 that can contact the leg massage unit 2000 can be formed to be inclined towards the leg massage unit 2000 at a preset angle. Specifically, the stopper body 4130 can be formed to face the front side (at a preset angle). Figure 10 (The left side, which is the reference point) tilts downwards.

[0248] Therefore, it has the effect of stably contacting and supporting the leg massage section 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500) which is tilted at a preset angle relative to the ground.

[0249] Reference Figure 7 The spacer groove 4131 can be formed in the stop body 4130 of an embodiment of the present invention in the form of a groove with a preset depth. A plurality of spacer grooves 4131 can be provided, and the plurality of spacer grooves 4131 can be arranged apart at a preset interval.

[0250] Reference Figure 7 The spacer slot 4131 can extend along the width direction of the stop body 4130 (in the direction of width). Figure 7 The multiple spaced slots 4131 extend in the left-right direction (based on the reference direction) and can extend in the up-down direction (based on the reference direction). Figure 7 (Based on) separated configurations.

[0251] Due to the formation of the spacer groove 4131, not the entire surface of the stop body 4130 contacts the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500), but only the remaining area excluding the spacer groove 4131 can contact the back frame 2500.

[0252] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the stop body 4130 is made of an elastically deformable material, and the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500) can be made of a different material (metallic material) than the stop body 4130.

[0253] When the entire surface of the stop body 4130 is in contact with the back frame 2500, a load may be generated due to the clamping force of the stop body 4130 during contact and separation. However, by providing a spacer groove 4131 on the stop body 4130, the contact area between the stop body 4130 and the back frame 2500 can be reduced, and rapid separation after contact can be achieved.

[0254] Furthermore, noise may be generated when the entire surface of the stop body 4130 comes into contact with the back frame 2500 and then separates again. However, with the provision of the spacer slot 4131, the contact area can be relatively reduced, which has the effect of preventing noise.

[0255] Reference Figure 10 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing part 4150 connects the body massage part and the stop body 4130, and can be connected to the frame part 1100 (specifically the base frame 1130).

[0256] The reinforcing part 4150 can be made of metal. Therefore, it has the effect of ensuring rigidity and allowing the stop part 4100 to stably support the load of the leg massage part 2000.

[0257] Reference Figure 10 One side of the reinforcing part 4150 is combined with the stop body 4130, and the other side can be combined with the base frame 1130 (specifically the upper base frame 1131).

[0258] The reinforcement 4150 can be disposed inside the hollow interior of the protrusion 4110. The engaging protrusion 4135 formed on the stop body 4130 can be connected to the reinforcement 4150. Specifically, the engaging protrusion 4135 formed on the stop body 4130 can pass through the fastening hole 4113 formed on the protrusion 4110 and engage with the reinforcement 4150.

[0259] Therefore, it has the effect of preventing the stop body 4130 from detaching from the protrusion 4110 and the reinforcement 4150.

[0260] Reference Figure 10 The reinforcement 4150 located inside the protrusion 4110 can extend along the width direction (to... Figure 6 A through-hole 4151 is formed in the left-right direction (based on the reference), through which light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 can pass.

[0261] Reference Figure 10 Along the periphery of the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 4151 formed in the reinforcement 4150, a preset interval has a preset radius of curvature and can be formed in an arc shape. Therefore, when the stop part 4100 contacts and supports the leg massage part 2000, it can distribute the load of the leg massage part 2000 and provide stable support.

[0262] Reference Figure 10 The through hole 4151 formed in the reinforcing portion 4150 according to an embodiment of the present invention can overlap with the through hole 4111 formed in the protrusion 4110.

[0263] Therefore, in order to sense an object located between the cover portion 4000, which is integrally formed with a stop portion 4100, and the leg massage portion 2000, the light irradiated by the safety sensor portion 5000 can pass through the through hole portion 4111 formed in the protrusion portion 4110 and the through hole portion 4151 formed in the reinforcement portion 4150, and the light irradiation path LP can be prevented from being blocked.

[0264] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9A and Figure 10 The safety sensor unit 5000 is connected to at least one of the body massage unit 1000 and the cover unit 4000, and can irradiate light along a preset irradiation path LP to sense an object.

[0265] From another perspective, the safety sensor unit 5000 can be configured on the side of the stop unit 4100.

[0266] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the light emitted by the safety sensor unit 5000 can be light in the infrared region.

[0267] Reference Figure 8 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the safety sensor unit 5000 may include a light-emitting unit 5100 and a light-receiving unit 5300.

[0268] The light-emitting part 5100 is disposed on one side of the two sides of the stop part 4100 (to... Figure 8 (Based on the right side), light can be irradiated. The light receiving part 5300 is arranged with the stop part 4100 in the middle opposite to the light emitting part 5100, and can receive the light irradiated by the light emitting part 5100.

[0269] The light receiving unit 5300 can transmit information about whether it receives light from the light emitting unit 5100 to the control unit 1200. Therefore, the control unit 1200 can determine whether an object has been detected or not based on whether light has been received.

[0270] Reference Figure 8 The light-receiving part 5300 can be disposed on one side of the two sides of the stop part 4100 on which the light-emitting part 5100 is disposed (to... Figure 8 (based on the right side) the opposite side (with) Figure 8 (Left side of the reference).

[0271] That is, the light-emitting part 5100 and the light-receiving part 5300 can be in the width direction (with Figure 8 Based on the left and right directions, they are respectively arranged on both sides of the stop part 4100.

[0272] The safety sensor unit 5000 (specifically, the light-receiving unit 5300 and the light-emitting unit 5100) can be fixed in position to the cover unit 4000.

[0273] Specifically, the light-emitting part 5100 and the light-receiving part 5300 can be fixed and disposed on the cover 4000 in a position facing forward of the leg massage part 2000.

[0274] That is, the light-emitting part 5100 and the light-receiving part 5300 can be arranged to protrude forward from the side of the cover 4000 facing the leg massage part 2000.

[0275] As an alternative embodiment, within the technical concept of placing the protrusion 4110 and the stop body 4130 connected to the protrusion 4110 in a centrally opposite configuration, the light-collecting part 5300 and the light-emitting part 5100 can be respectively fixed on a pair of side plates 1140 covering the body massage part (specifically the side of the leg massage part 2000).

[0276] The illumination path LP of the light emitted by the safety sensor unit 5000 (specifically the light-emitting unit 5100) to the light-receiving unit 5300 can pass through the stop part 4100. The illumination path LP of the light emitted by the safety sensor unit 5000 can pass through the through hole 4111 formed in the protrusion 4110 and the through hole 4151 formed in the reinforcement part 4150.

[0277] Therefore, it has the following effect: it can accurately sense the area between the body massage part and the leg massage part 2000, specifically the stop part 4100, specifically the protrusion 4110 formed on the cover part 4000 and the stop body 4130.

[0278] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 9A The illumination path LP of the light emitted by the safety sensor unit 5000 can be set at the outer end of the stop unit 4100 facing the leg massage unit 2000 (to... Figure 9A Compared to the left end (based on the reference), it is further back (with) Figure 9A (The position to the right of the reference).

[0279] From another perspective, the illumination path LP of the light emitted by the safety sensor unit 5000 can be set to be larger than the outer end of the stop part 4100 (with...). Figure 9A (The left end, which is the reference point, is closer to the body massage area.)

[0280] Therefore, it has a relatively rearward area (as shown in the image) from which the stop body 4130 can contact the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500). Figure 9A The effect of irradiating light onto an object located between the body massage section and the leg massage section 2000 from the right side (based on the reference).

[0281] The working principle and effects of the massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described as described above.

[0282] Reference Figures 1 to 11 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a massage device 100 may include a body massage part, a leg massage part 2000, an arm massage part, a cover part 4000, and a safety sensor part 5000.

[0283] The stop part 4100 is combined with the body massage part and is located on the rotation path of the leg massage part 2000 relative to the body massage part, and can contact the leg massage part 2000.

[0284] By contacting the leg massage unit 2000, the stop part 4100 can restrict the rotation of the leg massage unit 2000. That is, when the leg massage unit 2000, which is rotating relative to the body massage unit 1000, contacts the stop part 4100, it can rotate along a rotation path having a preset rotation start point and end point.

[0285] The stop portion 4100 may include a protrusion 4110, a stop body 4130, and a reinforcement portion 4150.

[0286] The safety sensor unit 5000 is connected to at least one of the body massage unit 1000 and the cover unit 4000, and can irradiate light along a preset irradiation path LP to sense objects.

[0287] Furthermore, it has the following effect: by the collision of light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 disposed on the side of the stop part 4100 with an object, even if the leg massage unit 2000 is not in contact with an object, it can still accurately sense the object located between the body massage unit and the leg massage unit 2000.

[0288] Reference Figures 9A to 9C The hinge drive unit 2400 is combined with the body massage unit, and by transmitting power to the leg massage unit 2000, the leg massage unit 2000 can rotate relative to the body massage unit.

[0289] The hinge drive unit 2400 may include a hinge drive source unit 2410 with a drive rod 2411 and a hinge link unit 2430.

[0290] Reference Figure 9A The image shows the leg massage unit 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500) in contact with the stop part 4100 (specifically the stop body 4130), which has the effect of giving the leg massage unit 2000 a preset initial position through the contact between the stop part 4100 and the leg massage unit 2000.

[0291] Reference Figure 9A At the initial position of the leg massage unit 2000 relative to the body massage unit, the hinge link roller 2435 provided in the hinge drive unit 2400 (specifically the hinge link unit 2430) can be in a state that is separated from the leg massage unit 2000.

[0292] Reference Figure 9B This illustrates the state in which the hinge drive source 2410 generates power and adjusts the length of the drive rod 2411. Specifically, as the length of the drive rod 2411 increases, the hinge link 2430 connected to the drive rod 2411 can rotate clockwise relative to the body massage part (towards...). Figure 9B Rotate based on (reference).

[0293] As the hinge link portion 2430 (specifically the hinge link body 2431) rotates, the hinge link roller 2435, which is rotatably connected to the hinge link body 2431, can come into contact with the back frame 2500.

[0294] Reference Figure 9C This shows the state where the hinge drive source 2410 further generates power and further increases the length of the drive rod 2411. Simultaneously, as the contact between the leg massage unit 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500) and the stop body 4130 is released, the leg massage unit 2000 can move forward relative to the body massage unit with respect to a preset rotation center axis AX1 (within a certain range). Figure 9C (Based on the left side) in a clockwise direction (with) Figure 9C Rotate based on (reference).

[0295] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the illumination path LP of the light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 can penetrate the stop part 4100.

[0296] Specifically, the light path LP can pass through the through hole 4111 formed in the protrusion 4110 protruding from the cover 4000 and the through hole 4151 formed in the reinforcement 4150 disposed inside the protrusion 4110.

[0297] Therefore, the outer side of the stop portion 4100 towards the leg massage portion 2000 (with) Figure 9A Compared to the left end (based on the reference), the illumination path LP of the light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 can be located relatively rearward (towards the left end). Figure 9A The light emitted by the safety sensor unit 5000 can illuminate the object located between the leg massage unit 2000 and the body massage unit even before the leg massage unit 2000 comes into contact with the object.

[0298] Furthermore, compared to a position located further forward than the outer end of the stop portion 4100, the forward dimension of the massage device 100 can be reduced, thereby increasing the utilization of space.

[0299] Since the massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention uses light irradiated along a preset irradiation path LP by a safety sensor unit 5000 provided on the side of the stop part 4100, it can sense objects located between the leg massage part 2000 and the body massage part without contact with the leg massage part 2000, and has the effect of preventing safety accidents caused by objects.

[0300] That is, it has the effect of preventing safety accidents near the support surface of the massage device (the lower part of the massage device).

[0301] Furthermore, since a reinforcing part 4150 is arranged inside the protrusion 4110 that is connected to the stop body 4130, it has the effect of stably supporting the load of the leg massage part 2000 while the stop part 4100 is in contact with and supporting the leg massage part 2000.

[0302] In addition, since the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500) that can contact the stop part 4100 is set in the center with the width direction of the leg massage part 2000 as a reference, the stop part 4100 can stably contact and support the leg massage part 2000.

[0303] The structure and effects of massage devices according to other embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

[0304] Figure 12 This is a diagram showing the stop portion according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 13 It is shown Figure 12The image shows the state of the leg massage area removed. Figure 14 It is shown Figure 13 The image shows the front view. Figure 15 It is magnification Figure 13 The diagram for part C. Figure 16 Therefore Figure 12 The side view is based on line Ⅱ-Ⅱ'.

[0305] Reference Figures 12 to 16 According to other embodiments of the present invention, the massage device may include a body massage part 1000, a leg massage part 2000, a cover part 4000' and a safety sensor part 5000'.

[0306] Since the cover portion 4000' and safety sensor portion 5000' of the massage device according to other embodiments of the present invention differ from the cover portion 4000 and safety sensor portion 5000 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the following detailed description will focus on these differences.

[0307] Reference Figure 12 The leg massage unit 2000 can be rotatably connected to the body massage unit 1000. (See reference) Figures 12 to 16 The cover 4000 is combined with the body massage part 1000 and is located on the rotation path of the leg massage part 2000 relative to the body massage part 1000, and can come into contact with the leg massage part 2000.

[0308] Reference Figures 12 to 16 The stop portion 4100' is integrally formed protruding from the cover portion 4000'. The stop portion 4100' may include a protrusion 4110', a stop body 4130', and a reinforcement portion 4150'. The cover portion 4000' is fixed to the body massage portion 1000 and may be positioned on the side of the body massage portion 1000 facing the leg massage portion 2000 (towards...). Figure 12 (Based on the front side) combined.

[0309] The cover 4000' can be connected to the base frame 1130 provided on the body massage unit 1000 (specifically the frame 1100). Since the cover 4000' is connected to the base frame 1130, it has the effect of preventing objects from entering the inside of the body massage unit 1000 (specifically the frame 1100) from the outside.

[0310] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 The stop portion 4100' can extend outwardly and is formed in the cover portion 4000'. From another angle, the stop portion 4100' (specifically, the protrusion 4110') can extend outwardly from the side of the cover portion 4000' facing the leg massage portion 2000 along the direction towards the leg massage portion 2000 (with... Figure 16It is formed from right to left (based on the reference).

[0311] Reference Figure 15 The protrusion 4110' may be joined with the stop body 4130'. The fastening hole 4113' may be formed in the protrusion 4110' in the form of a hole, and the connecting protrusion 4135' formed in the stop body 4130' may be fastened to the fastening hole 4113'.

[0312] Reference Figure 15 The device may be provided with multiple fastening holes 4113', and multiple coupling protrusions 4135' may be provided corresponding to the multiple fastening holes 4113'. As an alternative embodiment, the coupling protrusions 4135' may be fastened to the fastening holes 4113' by means of threaded engagement.

[0313] Reference Figure 16 The protrusion 4110' has a hollow interior, and a reinforcing part 4150' can be disposed inside the protrusion 4110'.

[0314] As an alternative embodiment, the reinforcing part 4150' has a plate shape and can be vertically connected to the inner peripheral surface of the protrusion 4110'. Therefore, it has the effect of preventing the protrusion 4110' from bending inward or other shape deformation due to the load of the leg massage part 2000.

[0315] Reference Figure 13 Passing through the groove 4010', it can be along the height direction (with Figure 13 The cover portion 4000' is formed in a groove shape in the vertical direction (based on the reference direction). Multiple through-grooves 4010' can be provided in such a way that they correspond to multiple hinge drive portions 2400 that transmit power to multiple leg massage portions 2000.

[0316] Specifically, the drive rod 2411 provided in the hinge drive section 2400 can pass through the inside of the through slot 4010' formed in the cover section 4000', so that the hinge link section 2430 connected to the drive rod can be located between the leg massage section 2000 and the cover section 4000'.

[0317] Reference Figures 12 to 16 The stop body 4130' is attached to the side of the cover 4000' facing the leg massage part 2000, and can contact the leg massage part 2000.

[0318] Specifically, the stop body 4130' can be connected to the protrusion 4110' formed in the cover portion 4000', and can be connected to one end of the protrusion 4110' facing the leg massage portion 2000 (to... Figure 16 (Based on the left end).

[0319] The stop body 4130' can be made of a material that can be elastically deformed. Therefore, it has the effect of cushioning the impact when the leg massage part 2000, which can rotate relative to the body massage part 1000, comes into contact with the stop 4100', and preventing damage caused by contact and collision between the stop 4100' and the leg massage part 2000.

[0320] Reference Figure 15 The engaging protrusion 4135' can be formed on the side of the stop body 4130' facing the protrusion 4110' in a way that protrudes outward. The engaging protrusion 4135' can be fastened to the fastening hole 4113' formed in the protrusion 4110'.

[0321] The engagement protrusion 4135' can pass through the fastening hole 4113' and engage with the protrusion 4110'. As an alternative embodiment, on the cover portion 4000' where the protrusion 4110' is not formed, the engagement protrusion 4135' can be positioned and engaged with a predetermined area.

[0322] Therefore, it has the effect of preventing the stop body 4130' from detaching from the preset area on the protrusion 4110' or the cover 4000' where the protrusion 4110' is not provided.

[0323] Reference Figure 16 The side of the stopper body 4130' that can contact the leg massage unit 2000 can be formed to be inclined towards the leg massage unit 2000 at a preset angle. Specifically, the stopper body 4130' can be formed to face the front side (at a preset angle). Figure 16 (The left side, which is the reference point) tilts downwards.

[0324] Therefore, it has the effect of stably contacting and supporting the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500) which is formed at a preset angle and tilt relative to the ground.

[0325] Reference Figure 15 The spacer groove 4131' can be formed in the stop body 4130' in the shape of a groove with a preset depth. Multiple spacer grooves 4131' can be provided, and the multiple spacer grooves 4131' can be arranged apart at a preset interval.

[0326] Reference Figure 15 The spacer groove 4131' formed in the stop body 4130' can be formed by extending along the periphery with the center of the stop body 4130' as a reference.

[0327] Since the stop body 4130' has a spacer groove 4131', not the entire surface of the stop body 4130' contacts the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500), but only the remaining area except for the spacer groove 4131' contacts the back frame 2500.

[0328] The stop body 4130' is made of an elastically deformable material, and the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500) can be made of a different material (metallic material) than the stop body 4130'.

[0329] When the entire surface of the stop body 4130' is in contact with the back frame 2500, a load may be generated due to the clamping force of the stop body 4130' during contact and separation. However, by providing a spacer groove 4131' on the stop body 4130', the contact area between the stop body 4130' and the back frame 2500 can be reduced, and rapid separation after contact can be achieved.

[0330] Reference Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 16 The safety sensor unit 5000' is connected to at least one of the body massage unit 1000 and the cover unit 4000', and can irradiate light along a preset irradiation path LP to sense an object.

[0331] In order to sense an object, the safety sensor unit 5000' can illuminate light along a preset illumination path LP. The light illuminated by the safety sensor unit 5000' can be light from the infrared region.

[0332] Reference Figure 14 The safety sensor unit 5000' may include a light-emitting unit 5100' and a light-receiving unit 5300'. The light-emitting unit 5100' is disposed on one side of the two sides of the stop unit 4100' (to... Figure 14 (Based on the right side), light can be irradiated. The light receiving part 5300' is positioned with the stop part 4100' in the middle opposite to the light emitting part 5100', and can receive the light irradiated by the light emitting part 5100'.

[0333] Reference Figure 14 The light-receiving part 5300' can be disposed on one side of the two sides of the stop part 4100' where the light-emitting part 5100' is disposed (to... Figure 14 (based on the right side) the opposite side (with) Figure 14 (Left side of the reference).

[0334] That is, the light-emitting part 5100' and the light-receiving part 5300' can be in the width direction (with Figure 14Based on the left and right directions, the two parts are respectively arranged on both sides of the stop part 4100'. The safety sensor part 5000' (specifically the light receiving part 5300' and the light emitting part 5100') can be fixed in position to at least one of the cover part 4000' and the body massage part 1000.

[0335] Within the technical concept of placing the cover portion 4000' (specifically, the protrusion 4110' formed on the cover portion 4000' and the stop body 4130' connected to the protrusion 4110') in a relatively opposite configuration in the middle, the light receiving portion 5300' and the light emitting portion 5100' can be fixed in position to at least one of the cover portion 4000' and the body massage portion 1000.

[0336] Reference Figure 13 The light-collecting part 5300' and the light-emitting part 5100' can be fixed in position to a pair of side plates 1140 covering the side of the body massage part 1000 (specifically the leg massage part 2000).

[0337] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 The illumination path LP of the light irradiated from the safety sensor unit 5000' (specifically the light-emitting unit 5100') to the light-receiving unit 5300' can be set on the lower side of the stop part 4100' (specifically the protrusion 4110' and the stop body 4130' that is combined with the protrusion 4110'). Figure 14 (Based on).

[0338] Therefore, it has the ability to accurately sense the area between the body massage unit 1000 and the leg massage unit 2000 (specifically, the stop part 4100 is integrally formed at one end). Figure 13 The effect of an object existing between the lower end of the cover 4000 and the leg massage part 2000 (based on the reference).

[0339] From another perspective, it has the effect of preventing safety accidents near the support surface of the massage device, that is, in the lower area of ​​the massage device.

[0340] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 16 The outer end of the stop part 4100' facing the leg massage part 2000 (with) Figure 16 Compared to the left end (based on the reference), the illumination path LP of the light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 can be located relatively further back (towards the left end). Figure 16 (The position to the right of the reference).

[0341] From another perspective, the illumination path LP of the light emitted by the safety sensor unit 5000' can be set to be larger than the outer end of the stop unit 4100' (with...). Figure 16 (The left end, which is the reference point) is closer to the body massage section 1000.

[0342] Therefore, the area that can contact the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500) from the stop body 4130' is relatively more rearward (towards the back frame 2500). Figure 16 The effect of irradiating light onto an object located between the body massage unit 1000 and the leg massage unit 2000 from the position on the right side (based on the reference).

[0343] The massage device according to other embodiments of the present invention is identical in structure and effect to the massage device 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention, except that the path of the light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 is arranged closer to the ground than the stop portion 4100 (specifically the protrusion 4110 and the stop body 4130) formed on the cover portion 4000. Therefore, detailed descriptions of the contents within this repetition range will be omitted.

[0344] The structure and effects of a massage device according to yet another embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0345] Figure 17 This is a diagram showing the stop portion according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 18 It is shown Figure 17 The image shows the state of the leg massage area removed. Figure 19 It is shown Figure 18 The image shows the front view. Figure 20 It is magnification Figure 18 The diagram for part D. Figure 21 Therefore Figure 17 The side view is based on line Ⅲ-Ⅲ'.

[0346] Reference Figures 17 to 21 According to another embodiment of the present invention, the massage device may include a body massage part 1000, a leg massage part 2000, a cover part 4000'' and a safety sensor part 5000''.

[0347] The cover 4000'' and safety sensor 5000'' of the massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention differ from the cover 4000 and safety sensor 5000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and therefore will be described in detail below with reference to this.

[0348] Reference Figure 17 The leg massage unit 2000 can be rotatably connected to the body massage unit 1000.

[0349] Reference Figures 17 to 21The cover 4000 is combined with the body massage part 1000 and is located on the rotation path of the leg massage part 2000 relative to the body massage part 1000, and can come into contact with the leg massage part 2000.

[0350] Reference Figures 18 to 21 The stop portion 4100 is integrally formed on the cover portion 4000. The stop portion 4100 may include a protrusion 4110, a stop body 4130, and a reinforcement portion 4150.

[0351] The cover 4000'' is fixed to the body massage unit 1000, and can be positioned on the side of the body massage unit 1000 facing the leg massage unit 2000 (with... Figure 18 (Based on the front side) combined.

[0352] The cover 4000 can be connected to the base frame 1130 provided on the body massage unit 1000 (specifically the frame 1100). Since the cover 4000 is connected to the base frame 1130, it has the effect of preventing objects from entering the inside of the body massage unit 1000 (specifically the frame 1100) from the outside.

[0353] Reference Figure 18 The frame portion 1100 may include a cover 1150. The cover 1150 is disposed between the seat frame 1120 and the cover portion 4000'', and can cover the space formed between the seat frame 1120 and the cover portion 4000''.

[0354] Therefore, it can prevent objects from entering between the seat frame 1120 and the cover 4000''.

[0355] Reference Figures 17 to 21 The stop portion 4100'' can extend outwardly and is formed in the cover portion 4000''. From another angle, the stop portion 4100'' can extend outwardly from the side of the cover portion 4000'' facing the leg massage portion 2000 along the direction towards the leg massage portion 2000 (with... Figure 21 It is formed from right to left (based on the reference).

[0356] Reference Figure 20 and Figure 21 The stop portion 4100'' may include a protrusion 4110'' and a stop body 4130'', and the stop body 4130'' may be attached to the protrusion 4110''. A fastening hole portion 4113'' may be formed in the form of a hole in the protrusion 4110'', and a connecting protrusion 4135'' formed in the stop body 4130'' may be fastened to the fastening hole portion 4113''.

[0357] As an alternative embodiment, the protrusion 4135`` can be fastened to the fastening hole 4113`` by means of a threaded connection.

[0358] Reference Figure 21 The protrusion 4110'' has a hollow interior, and a reinforcement 4150'' can be disposed inside the protrusion 4110''. The engaging protrusion 4135'' formed on the stop body 4130'' can pass through the fastening hole 4113'' formed on the protrusion 4110'' and engage with the reinforcement 4150''.

[0359] Therefore, it has the effect of preventing the stop body 4130`` from detaching from the reinforcement 4150`` and the cover 4000`` (specifically the area where the protrusion 4110`` is not formed).

[0360] Reference Figures 17 to 21 The roller mounting portion 4115'' with a preset radius of curvature can be formed in a curved shape on the side of the protrusion 4110'' facing the hinge drive portion 2400 (specifically the hinge link roller 2435). Figure 21 (Upper surface as reference).

[0361] The hinge link roller 2435 can contact the roller mounting portion 4115`'. Since the roller mounting portion 4115`' is formed in a curved shape, it can make stable contact with the outer peripheral surface of the hinge link roller 2435, which has a curved shape.

[0362] Reference Figure 19 Passing through the groove 4010, it can move along the height direction (with) Figure 19 The cover portion 4000'' is formed in a groove shape in the vertical direction (based on the reference direction). Multiple through-grooves 4010'' can be provided in such a way that they correspond to multiple hinge drive portions 2400 that transmit power to multiple leg massage portions 2000.

[0363] Specifically, the drive rod 2411 provided in the hinge drive section 2400 can pass through the inside of the through slot 4010'' formed in the cover section 4000'', so that the hinge link section 2430 connected to the drive rod 2411 can be located between the leg massage section 2000 and the cover section 4000''.

[0364] Reference Figure 19 The groove 4010'' can be connected to the stop 4100'' (specifically, the protrusion 4110''), and specifically, it can be connected to one end of the protrusion 4110'' where the roller mounting portion 4115'' is formed (to... Figure 19 Connect the upper end (based on the reference).

[0365] Reference Figure 17 , Figure 20 and Figure 21 The stop body 4130`` is combined with the side of the stop portion 4100`` (specifically the protrusion 4110``) that protrudes forward from the cover portion 4000` facing the leg massage portion 2000, and can contact the leg massage portion 2000.

[0366] Specifically, the stop body 4130`` can be connected to the stop part 4100`` (specifically, the protrusion 4110``), and can be connected to one end of the protrusion 4110`` facing the leg massage part 2000 (to... Figure 21 (Based on the left end).

[0367] The stop body 4130'' can be made of a material that can be elastically deformed. Therefore, it has the effect of mitigating impact when the leg massage part 2000, which can rotate relative to the body massage part 1000, comes into contact with the stop 4100'', and preventing damage caused by contact and collision between the stop 4100'' and the leg massage part 2000.

[0368] Reference Figure 20 The protrusion 4135'' can be formed on the side of the stop body 4130'' facing the protrusion 4110'' in a way that protrudes outward. The protrusion 4135'' can be fastened to the fastening hole 4113'' formed in the protrusion 4110''.

[0369] The protrusion 4135`` can pass through the fastening hole 4113`` and engage with the reinforcement 4150`` disposed inside the protrusion 4110``. Therefore, it has the effect of preventing the stop body 4130`` from disengaging from the reinforcement 4150`` and the protrusion 4110``.

[0370] Reference Figure 21 The side of the stop body 4130' that can contact the leg massage unit 2000 can be formed to be inclined towards the leg massage unit 2000 at a preset angle. Specifically, the stop body 4130' can be formed to face the front side (at a preset angle). Figure 21 (The left side, which is the reference point) tilts downwards.

[0371] Therefore, it has the effect of stably contacting and supporting the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500) which is formed at a preset angle and tilted relative to the ground.

[0372] Reference Figure 20 The spacer groove 4131`` can be formed in the stop body 4130`` in a groove shape with a preset depth. Multiple spacer grooves 4131`` can be provided, and the multiple spacer grooves 4131`` can be arranged apart at a preset interval.

[0373] Reference Figure 20 The spacer slot 4131`` can extend along the width direction of the stop body 4130`` (within... Figure 20 The multiple spaced slots 4131'' extend in the left-right direction (based on the reference direction) and can extend in the up-down direction (based on the reference direction). Figure 20 (Based on) separated configurations.

[0374] Due to the formation of the spacer groove 4131'', not the entire surface of the stop body 4130'' contacts the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500), but only the remaining area excluding the spacer groove 4131'' contacts the back frame 2500.

[0375] The stop body 4130 is made of an elastically deformable material, while the leg massage part 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500) can be made of a different material (metallic material) than the stop body 4130.

[0376] When the entire surface of the stop body 4130'' is in contact with the back frame 2500, a load may be generated due to the clamping force of the stop body 4130'' during contact and separation. However, by providing a spacer groove 4131'' on the stop body 4130'', the contact area between the stop body 4130'' and the back frame 2500 can be reduced, and rapid separation after contact can be achieved.

[0377] Reference Figure 21 The reinforcing part 4150 connects the body massage part 1000 and the stop body 4130, and can be connected to the frame part 1100 (specifically the base frame 1130).

[0378] The reinforcing part 4150 can be made of metal. Therefore, it has the effect of ensuring rigidity and allowing the stop part 4100 to stably support the load of the leg massage part 2000.

[0379] Reference Figure 21 One side of the reinforcing part 4150'' is combined with the stop body 4130'', and the other side can be combined with the base frame 1130 (specifically the upper base frame 1131).

[0380] The reinforcing part 4150'' can be disposed inside the hollow interior of the protrusion 4110''. The reinforcing part 4150'' can be connected to the engaging protrusion 4135'' that protrudes from the stop body 4130''. Specifically, the engaging protrusion 4135'' formed in the stop body 4130'' can pass through the fastening hole 4113'' formed in the protrusion 4110'' and engage with the reinforcing part 4150''.

[0381] Therefore, it has the effect of preventing the stop body 4130`` from detaching from the reinforcement 4150`` and the protrusion 4110``.

[0382] Reference Figure 19 and Figure 21 The safety sensor unit 5000 is connected to at least one of the body massage unit 1000 and the cover unit 4000, and can irradiate light along a preset irradiation path LP to sense an object.

[0383] Specifically, the safety sensor unit 5000 can be configured on the side of the stop portion 4100 protruding from the cover portion 4000.

[0384] Specifically, the safety sensor unit 5000 is disposed on the side of the stop part 4100 (specifically, the protrusion 4110 and the stop body 4130 connected to the protrusion 4110), and can irradiate light along a preset illumination path LP to sense an object. The light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 can be light in the infrared region.

[0385] Reference Figure 19 The safety sensor unit 5000` may include a light-emitting unit 5100` and a light-receiving unit 5300`. The light-emitting unit 5100` is disposed on one side of the two sides of the stop unit 4100` (to... Figure 19 (Based on the right side), light can be irradiated. The light receiving part 5300'' is positioned with the stop part 4100'' in the middle opposite to the light emitting part 5100'', and can receive the light irradiated by the light emitting part 5100''.

[0386] Reference Figure 19 The light-receiving part 5300 can be disposed on one side of the stop part 4100, which is disposed on the light-emitting part 5100. Figure 19 (based on the right side) the opposite side (with) Figure 19 (Left side of the reference).

[0387] That is, the light-emitting part 5100'' and the light-receiving part 5300'' can be in the width direction (with Figure 19 Based on the left and right directions, they are respectively arranged on both sides of the stop part 4100''.

[0388] The safety sensor unit 5000 (specifically, the light-receiving unit 5300 and the light-emitting unit 5100) can be fixed in position to at least one of the cover unit 4000 and the body massage unit 1000.

[0389] Within the technical concept of placing the protrusion 4110'' provided on the cover portion 4000'' (specifically, the stop portion 4100'' protruding from the cover portion 4000'') and the stop body 4130' connected to the protrusion 4110'' in a middle relative arrangement, the light receiving portion 5300'' and the light emitting portion 5100'' can be positionally fixed to at least one of the cover portion 4000'' and the side plate 1140.

[0390] Therefore, it can prevent safety accidents near the support surface of the massage device (the lower part of the massage device).

[0391] Reference Figure 18 The light-collecting part 5300`` and the light-emitting part 5100`` can be fixed in position to the side plate 1140 covering the side of the body massage part 1000 (specifically the leg massage part 2000).

[0392] Compared to the protrusion 4110'' of the stop portion 4100'' which protrudes from the cover portion 4000'' and the stop body 4130'', the illumination path LP of the light emitted by the safety sensor portion 5000'' (specifically the light-emitting portion 5100'') to the light-receiving portion 5300'' can be configured further away from the ground.

[0393] That is, the illumination path LP of the light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 can be located higher than the stop body 4130 (with) Figure 19 (Based on the position).

[0394] Therefore, it can quickly sense objects located between the body massage unit 1000 and the leg massage unit 2000 even when the leg massage unit 2000 is not in direct contact with an object.

[0395] Reference Figure 21 The outer end of the leg massage part 2000, which is opposite to the stop part 4100''. Figure 21 Compared to the left end (based on the reference point), the illumination path LP of the light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 can be located relatively further back (with...). Figure 21 (The position to the right of the reference).

[0396] From another perspective, the illumination path LP of the light emitted by the safety sensor unit 5000'' can be set to be larger than the outer end of the stop unit 4100'' (with... Figure 21 (The left end, which is the reference point) is closer to the body massage section 1000.

[0397] Therefore, the light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 can reach a more rearward position relative to the area where the stop body 4130 contacts the leg massage unit 2000 (specifically the back frame 2500). Figure 21 The position (based on the right side) reaches the effect of the object located between the body massage section 1000 and the leg massage section 2000.

[0398] As an alternative embodiment, when the illumination path LP of the light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000'' is located on the movement path of the hinge link unit 2430 (specifically the hinge link roller 2435), the control unit 1200 can temporarily stop the drive of the safety sensor unit 5000'' by transmitting an electrical signal to the safety sensor unit 5000''.

[0399] Therefore, it has the following effect: when the hinge drive source 2410 generates power and causes the hinge link 2430 (specifically the hinge link body 2431) to rotate relative to the body massage unit 1000, it can prevent the hinge link roller 2435 connected to one end of the hinge link body 2431 from being identified as an object in the rotation range of the hinge link body 2431 through the irradiation path LP.

[0400] The massage device according to another embodiment of the present invention is identical in structure and effect to the massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, except that the path of the light irradiated by the safety sensor unit 5000 is arranged further away from the ground than the stop portion 4100 (specifically the protrusion 4110 and the stop body 4130 connected to the protrusion 4110) formed on the cover portion 4000. Therefore, detailed descriptions of the contents within this repetition scope will be omitted.

[0401] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in more detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the technical concept of the present invention.

[0402] Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in this utility model are not intended to limit the technical concept of this utility model, but are used for illustration, and the scope of the technical concept of this utility model is not limited by these embodiments.

[0403] Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive.
