[0090] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0091] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating one embodiment of the massage device of this utility model.

[0092] A massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a body massage section 1000, forming an area for accommodating at least a portion of a user's body and massaging the user's body; a leg massage section 2000 for massaging the user's legs; a placement section 3100 for accommodating the user's arm; and an arm massage section 3000 for massaging the user's arm.

[0093] The body massage unit 1000 is capable of providing massage to at least a part of a user's body. The body massage unit 1000 may include: a massage module 1700 for providing massage function to at least a part of the user's body; an audio output module 1500 for providing audio output to the user in any form; a frame unit 1100 for forming the frame of the body massage unit 1000; and a user input unit 1400 for receiving input in any form from the user.

[0094] The structures of the body massage unit 1000 described above are merely exemplary embodiments. In addition to the aforementioned structures, the body massage unit 1000 may also include a variety of other structures.

[0095] In addition, such as Figure 1 The shape and structure of the massage device 100 shown are merely examples. Various forms of massage devices 100 should also fall within the scope of this utility model without departing from the scope of the claims.

[0096] The body massage unit 1000 can be formed into a space of any shape to accommodate a user. The body massage unit 1000 can be configured with a space whose shape corresponds to the user's body form. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, the body massage unit 1000 can be implemented in a seated type that can accommodate the whole body or part of the body of the user 10.

[0097] The part of the body massage unit 100 that contacts the ground may include any material or component for increasing friction (e.g., anti-slip mat, etc.) and may include wheels for enhancing the mobility of the massage device 100.

[0098] At least a portion of the body massage unit 1000 can slide. For example, when the body massage unit 1000 begins to massage, at least a portion of the body massage unit 1000 can slide forward. Additionally, the body massage unit 1000 can tilt backward. As a result, the body massage unit 1000 can provide massage while tilted backward.

[0099] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 may include at least one airbag. The airbag may be located in the user's shoulder area, pelvic area, arm massage area 3000, leg massage area 2000, etc., but is not limited thereto, and may be configured in multiple parts of the massage device 100.

[0100] The massage device 100 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 1000 or in the leg massage unit 2000. Alternatively, the air supply unit may be located outside the massage device 100.

[0101] Reference Figure 1 The leg massage unit 2000 can provide leg massage to the user. For example, the leg massage unit 2000 may include a calf massage unit 2230 for massaging the user's calves and / or a foot massage unit 2250 for massaging the user's feet.

[0102] The leg massage section 2000 can be adjusted in length according to the user's body characteristics.

[0103] For example, when a tall user uses the massage device 100, the leg massage section 2000 needs to be longer because the user's lower legs are longer. Conversely, when a short user uses the massage device 100, the leg massage section 2000 needs to be shorter because the user's lower legs are shorter. Therefore, the leg massage section 2000 can provide a leg massage that is proportionate to the user's height.

[0104] Reference Figure 1 Multiple leg massage units 2000 can be set up, and multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B can be inserted into the right and left feet of user 10 respectively. The multiple leg massage units 2000A and 2000B can move independently.

[0105] Reference Figure 1The leg massage unit 2000 may include a leg massage main body 2200. Specifically, in the leg massage main body 2200, the calf massage unit 2230 and the foot massage unit 2250 can be inserted into and positioned by the user's calf and foot, respectively.

[0106] The leg massage section 2000 will be explained in detail later.

[0107] The massage module 1700 can be disposed inside the body massage unit 1000 to provide mechanical stimulation of any form to the user accommodated in the body massage unit 1000. The massage module 1700 can be disposed along... Figure 1 The frame 1100 inside the body massage unit 1000 shown moves.

[0108] For example, the frame portion 1100 of the body massage unit 1000 may include a rack gear 1112, and the massage module 1700 provides mechanical stimulation to various parts of the user's body while moving along the rack gear 1112. The massage module 1700 may include a ball massage unit or a roller massage unit, but is not limited to these.

[0109] This massage module can be installed in the leg massage section 2000, specifically the calf massage section 2230 and the foot massage section 2250, and can also be installed in the arm massage section 3000.

[0110] The frame portion 1100 forms the frame for the internal structure of the body massage portion 1000, and can be made of materials such as metal or plastic. For example, the frame portion 1100 can be made of iron, alloy, steel, etc., but is not limited to these, and can also be made of various sturdy materials.

[0111] Reference Figure 3 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the massage device 100 may include an audio output module 1500.

[0112] The audio output module 1500 can be located in various positions. For example, the audio output module 1500 may include multiple output units, such as an upper audio output unit located on the upper end of the seat part 1000a that is in contact with the user sitting on the massage device 100, a front audio output unit attached to the front end of the left and right arm massage parts 3000 of the seat part 1000a, and / or a rear audio output unit attached to the rear end of the arm massage parts 3000, etc., but not limited to these.

[0113] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the seat portion 1000a of the massage device 100 may include: an upper body support portion (not specified in the reference numerals) for supporting the upper body of the user; and a lower body support portion (not specified in the reference numerals) for supporting the lower body of the user.

[0114] The upper body support unit contacts and supports the user's upper body, specifically, from the head to the back. The lower body support unit contacts and supports the user's body in the area below the upper body support unit, such as the buttocks and thighs.

[0115] In this case, the audio output module 1500 can provide stereo sound such as 5.1 channels, but is not limited to this.

[0116] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a user can control the massage device 100 using a massage device control device CD. The massage device control device CD can be connected to the massage device 100 via wired and / or wireless communication.

[0117] The massage device control device CD may include, but is not limited to, a remote controller, a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc., and may include various electronic devices that can be connected to the massage device 100 via wired or wireless communication.

[0118] Figure 2 It is used for explanation Figure 1 The diagram of the framework section, Figure 3 This is a diagram illustrating the constituent elements of a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0119] 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.

[0120] The frame portion 1100 can be a structure that forms the skeleton of the body massage portion 1000.

[0121] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the frame portion 1100 may include: a body frame (not specified in the reference numerals) having a massage module 1700; a base frame 1130 for supporting the body frame; and an inclined frame 1150 for being combined with the body frame and allowing the body frame to rotate relative to the base frame 1130.

[0122] The body frame may include: a back frame 1110 for forming the skeleton of the user's upper body; and a seat frame 1120 for forming the skeleton of the seat.

[0123] At least a portion of the body 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 2The movable component (based on) may include multiple valleys and multiple ridges.

[0124] 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.

[0125] 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.

[0126] The rack 1112 can be made of metal or plastic. For example, the rack 1112 can be made of iron, steel, alloy, reinforced plastic, melamine resin, phenolic resin, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0127] The body frame can be realized in various shapes. For example, the main frame can be classified into S-frame, L-frame, S&L-frame, and double S&L-frame according to its shape, but it is not limited to these.

[0128] An S-frame is a frame in which at least a portion of the main frame has an S-shaped bend. An L-frame is a frame in which at least a portion of the body frame includes an L-shaped bend. An S&L frame is a frame in which both S-shaped and L-shaped bends are included. A double S&L frame is a frame in which both L-shaped and two S-shaped bends are included.

[0129] The base frame 1130 refers to the part of the frame portion 1100 that supports the body frame and contacts the ground. The base frame 1130 may include an upper base frame 1131 and a lower base frame 1132.

[0130] The upper base frame 1131 can support the body frame and the inclined frame 1150 connected to the body frame, and the lower base frame 1132 can contact the bottom surface.

[0131] The inclined frame 1150 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.

[0132] In addition, the upper frame 1131 of the base can be arranged in contact with the lower frame 1132 of the base.

[0133] As an optional embodiment, the upper base frame 1131 is movable along the lower base frame 1132. For example, the upper base frame 1131 is capable of sliding forward and / or backward along the lower base frame 1132. In this case, since the body frame is connected to the upper base frame 1131, it is able to move along with the movement of the upper base frame 1131.

[0134] 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.

[0135] Reference Figure 2 The front end of the base frame 1132 can be configured as a side facing the leg massage part 2000.

[0136] 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.

[0137] Specifically, it can be located further forward (towards) the rotation center axis AX1 of the leg massage unit 2000 relative to the body frame set in the frame portion 1100. Figure 5 (The position to the left of the reference).

[0138] That is, the front end of the base lower frame 1132 can be located relatively forward relative to the body frame, specifically, the rotation center axis AX1 of the leg massage part 2000 of the seat frame 1120.

[0139] The base lower frame 1132 may include a base contact portion 1136, such that at least one of the front end and the rear end contacts the ground.

[0140] Since the base contact portion 1136 provided at the front end remains in contact with the ground, the tilting frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130, and in the forward-tilting "standing mode (or standing action)", it has the effect of preventing the massage device 100, specifically the body massage portion 1000, leg massage portion 2000 and arm massage portion 3000, from tilting forward.

[0141] Reference Figure 5 The front end of the base frame 1132 can be positioned further forward of the roller portion 2256 located at the rear end of the leg massage portion 2000.

[0142] From another perspective, the front end of the base frame 1132 can be positioned further forward than the roller portion 2256 of the leg massage portion 2000 when the roller portion 2256 is in contact with the ground. Figure 5 The position is on the left side of the reference.

[0143] In the basic state, standing mode, of the massage device 100, the roller portion 2256 provided in the leg massage portion 2000 can be in contact with the ground. In this case, since the front end of the base frame 1132 is positioned further forward than the roller portion 2256, it has the effect of preventing the massage device 100 from tilting forward.

[0144] The control unit 1200 is capable of controlling the operation of the massage device 100. The control unit 1200 may include one or more 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.

[0145] For example, the control unit 1200 may be equivalent 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 it.

[0146] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 1200 can control the operation of the massage device 100.

[0147] For example, the massage device 100 may include a plurality of actuators, and the massage device 100 can control the operation of the massage device 100 by controlling the operation of the plurality of actuators.

[0192] Reference Figure 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a leg massage unit 2000 can be inserted into a user's leg and can provide massage to the user's leg. Multiple leg massage units 2000 can be provided, and multiple leg massage units 2000A, 2000B can operate independently.

[0193] Figure 6 The leg massager 2000B, which can be inserted by the user's left foot, is shown among a plurality of leg massagers 2000A and 2000B. Its structure, operating principle and effect are the same as those of the leg massager 2000A, which can be inserted by the user's right foot. Therefore, the following description will be based on the leg massager 2000B, which can be inserted by the user's left foot.

[0194] Reference Figures 6 to 14 , Figures 18 to 20 The leg massage unit 2000 may include a connecting frame 2100, a leg massage main body 2200, a lifting drive 2300, a drive cover 2400, a position detection unit 2500, and a hinge drive 2800.

[0195] The connecting frame 2100 can be rotatably connected to the body massage unit 1000, specifically, it can be rotatably connected to the seat frame 1120. Since the connecting frame 2100 is rotatably connected to the seat frame 1120 along a preset rotation center axis AX1, the leg massage unit 2000 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the body massage unit 1000.

[0196] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 Specifically, the leg massage main body 2200, described later, includes a lifting frame 2210 that can be connected to the connecting frame 2100 in a relatively movable manner. That is, with the connecting frame 2100 fixed in position, the lifting frame 2210 can move along the connecting frame 2100 in the vertical direction (within a certain range). Figure 11 (Based on) the movement.

[0197] Reference Figures 15A to 15C This shows the state in which the leg massage main body 2200 moves on the connecting frame 2100 while the connecting frame 2100 is fixed in position.

[0198] Figure 15A The "basic state" is when the main body of the leg massager (2200) does not move. Figure 15BThis shows the leg massage main body 2200 relative to the connecting frame 2100 in a first direction (with... Figure 15B The "rising state" is the state of movement from the bottom to the top (based on the reference).

[0199] Figure 15C This shows the leg massage main body 2200 in a second direction (opposite to the first direction) relative to the connecting frame 2100. Figure 15B The "descending state" refers to the state of movement from the top to the bottom (based on the reference point).

[0200] like Figure 15B As shown, in the ascending state, hip joint movement functions can be provided to the user, such as... Figure 15C As shown, in the lowered state, while providing hip joint movement function, the length of the leg massage unit 2000 can also be adjusted to suit the leg length of users with relatively long legs.

[0201] Reference Figures 11 to 13 The connecting frame portion 2100 may include a connecting frame body 2110 and a hinge shaft portion 2130.

[0202] Reference Figure 12 The connecting frame body 2110 extends along the length direction, forming the appearance of the connecting frame portion 2100. A guide rail 2111 can be formed in the shape of a groove along the moving axis AX2 on the connecting frame body 2110.

[0203] Since the lifting frame section 2210 is provided in the following description, specifically, the moving part 2212 of the lifting frame body 2211 is inserted into the guide rail 2111, and the lifting frame section 2210 can move relative to the connecting frame section 2100.

[0204] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 10 The lifting frame 2210 can be positioned relative to the connecting frame 2100 in a preset direction (to... Figure 10 (Based on the vertical direction) it moves up and down.

[0205] Reference Figure 11 One side of the connecting frame body 2110 (with) Figure 11 The upper side (based on the reference) can be located inside the drive cover 2400 described later.

[0206] A lifting drive unit 2300 may be fixed in position on the connecting frame body 2110. Specifically, the drive source unit 2310, the drive housing 2370, and the lead unit 2331 are fixed in position on the connecting frame body 2110. The lifting drive unit 2300 will be described in detail later.

[0207] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 12 The hinge shaft portion 2130 is connected to the connecting frame body 2110, and can form the rotation center axis AX1 of the connecting frame body 2110. The hinge shaft portion 2130 may include a hinge shaft body 2131 and a shaft retainer 2135.

[0208] The hinge shaft body 2131 can extend along the rotation center axis AX1 and be connected to the connecting frame body 2110. The hinge shaft body 2131 can be formed in a cylindrical shape.

[0209] The longitudinal central axis of the hinge shaft body 2131 can be formed in the same way as the rotation central axis AX1 of the connecting frame portion 2100 of the body massage part 1000, specifically the body massage part 1000.

[0210] The hinge shaft body 2131 is formed as a single component and can be joined along the width direction of the connecting frame body 2110. However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made, such as setting multiple hinge shaft bodies, with each hinge shaft body 2131 joined to both sides of the connecting frame body 2110.

[0211] The shaft retainer 2135 is hollow inside, and the hinge shaft body 2131 can be inserted into the shaft retainer 2135.

[0212] The hinge shaft body 2131 can be configured to rotate along the rotation center axis AX1 inside the shaft retainer 2135. The shaft retainer 2135 can be configured in the frame portion 1100 of the body massage part 1000, specifically, it can be configured in the seat frame 1120.

[0213] Multiple shaft retainers 2135 can be provided, and the multiple shaft retainers 2135 can be respectively connected to both sides of the hinge shaft body 2131. A retainer groove (not specified in the attached drawing) can be formed in the shaft retainer 2135, and the end of the hinge shaft body 2131 can be inserted into the retainer groove.

[0214] The shaft retainer 2135 can be positioned and engaged with the seat frame 1120. Alternatively, the shaft retainer 2135 can be positioned and engaged with the seat frame 1120 via a retainer bracket (not specified in the drawings).

[0215] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 15A According to one embodiment of the present invention, the leg massage main body 2200 provides massage to the user's legs and may include a lifting frame 2210, a calf massage part 2230 and a foot massage part 2250.

[0216] Users can insert and place their legs into the leg massage main body 2200, which is provided with multiple leg massage parts 2000A and 2000B, to receive a massage.

[0217] Reference Figures 11 to 14 The lifting frame 2210 can move on the connecting frame 2100 and can be connected to the calf massage unit 2230 and the foot massage unit 2250, which will be described later.

[0218] Therefore, when the lifting frame portion 2210 is in a preset direction on the connecting frame portion 2100 (to... Figure 11 When moving in the vertical direction (based on the reference), the calf massage unit 2230 and foot massage unit 2250, which are connected to the lifting frame unit 2210, can move together relative to the connecting frame unit 2100.

[0219] On the other hand, the calf massage unit 2230 and foot massage unit 2250, which are located on the user's legs, can move up and down relative to the connecting frame 2100, thereby providing the user with hip joint movement function.

[0220] Reference Figures 15A to 15C Since the position of the connecting frame part 2100 is fixed, the position of the rotation center axis AX1 of the connecting frame part 2100 relative to the body massage part 1000 can also be fixed.

[0221] Figure 15A The image shows the "basic state" of the lifting frame 2210 before its position relative to the connecting frame 2100 is adjusted. Figure 15B The lifting frame portion 2210 is shown relative to the connecting frame portion 2100 in a first direction (with... Figure 15B Based on the reference point, the "rising state" refers to the movement from the bottom to the top. Figure 15C The lifting frame portion 2210 is shown in a second direction (opposite to the first direction) relative to the connecting frame portion 2100. Figure 15B The "descending state" is the movement from the top to the bottom (based on the reference).

[0222] When the lifting frame 2210 moves relative to the connecting frame 2100, the calf massage unit 2230 and foot massage unit 2250, which are connected to the lifting frame 2210, can rise or fall relative to the connecting frame 2100.

[0223] When the leg massage main body 2200 rises relative to the connecting frame 2100, the user's knees can move closer to the user's upper body and provide hip joint movement function.

[0224] Conversely, when the leg massage main body 2200 is lowered relative to the connecting frame 2100, it can relax the user's legs and provide a stretching function.

[0225] On the other hand, it has the following effect: by moving the leg massage main body 2200 up and down relative to the connecting frame 2100, the length of the leg massage part 2000 can be adjusted to suit the user's leg length.

[0226] In this invention, the calf massage unit 2230 and the foot massage unit 2250 are fixed at preset positions on the lifting frame unit 2210, and the interval between the calf massage unit 2230 and the foot massage unit 2250 is maintained. However, this is not the only possible implementation. Various modifications can be made, such as the calf massage unit 2230 and the foot massage unit 2250 being configured to move closer to each other or further away from each other on the lifting frame unit 2210.

[0227] Reference Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figures 11 to 13 The lifting frame body 2211 can move on the connecting frame part 2100, and can be configured as a pair that are spaced apart from each other.

[0228] The calf massage unit 2230 and the foot massage unit 2250 can be fixed in position on the lifting frame body 2211.

[0229] Reference Figure 9 The fastening member 2231 of the calf massage part 2230 and the foot massage part 2250 are specifically provided. The fastening member 2251a of the foot base frame 2251 can be combined with the lifting frame body 2211.

[0230] Therefore, when the lifting frame body 2211 moves along a preset direction (to... Figure 11 When moving in the vertical direction (based on the reference direction), the calf massage unit 2230 and the foot massage unit 2250 can move together.

[0231] A movable part 2212 protruding toward the connecting frame body 2110 may be formed on one surface of the lifting frame body 2211. The movable part 2212 can be inserted into the guide rail 2111 formed on the connecting frame body 2110 and can move along the guide rail 2111.

[0232] The movable part 2212 protruding outward from the lifting frame body 2211 can have different widths along the protrusion direction. The relatively narrow area can pass through the guide rail 2111, and the relatively wide area can be located inside the connecting frame body 2110.

[0233] Since the preset area of ​​the moving part 2212 is located inside the guide rail 2111 formed on the connecting frame body 2110, it is possible to prevent the moving part 2212 from detaching from the connecting frame body 2110. That is, it is possible to prevent the lifting frame body 2211 from detaching from the connecting frame body 2110.

[0234] Since the moving part 2212 according to an embodiment of the present invention is inserted into the guide rail 2111, when the lifting frame part 2210, specifically the lifting frame body 2211, moves relative to the fixed connecting frame body 2110, it can stably receive the moving path.

[0235] Reference Figures 12 to 14 The bridge bracket 2213 connects a pair of lifting frame bodies 2211 and can be integrated with the pair of lifting frame bodies 2211. However, it is not limited to this and can be implemented in various variations, such as connecting the pair of lifting frame bodies 2211 and the bridge bracket 2213 through a separate object.

[0236] Reference Figures 12 to 14 The bridging bracket 2213 may be equipped with a position detection unit 2500 (described later), specifically, a signal body 2550 may be provided. When the lifting frame unit 2210 moves, the signal body 2550 may move relative to the connecting frame body 2110 together with the bridging bracket 2213.

[0237] When the signal body 2550 moves in a preset direction (with Figure 12 When moving (based on the vertical direction), it can move closer to or away from the sensor body 2510, which is fixed in position and configured on the connecting frame body 2110.

[0238] As the distance between the signal body 2550 and the sensor body 2510 changes, the signal sensitivity changes, thereby enabling the detection of the position of the lifting frame 2210 relative to the connecting frame 2100. The position detection unit 2500 will be described in detail later.

[0239] Reference Figures 6 to 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the foot massage part 2250 can be inserted into the user's foot and can provide massage to the foot.

[0240] The foot massage unit 2250 can be combined with the lifting frame unit 2210. Specifically, it can be combined with the lifting frame body 2211. When the lifting frame unit 2210 moves relative to the connecting frame unit 2100, it can move together with the lifting frame unit 2210.

[0241] Reference Figure 10 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 The foot massage unit 2250 may include a foot base frame 2251, a foot massage body 2252, a rotation drive unit 2254, a rotation detection unit 2255, a roller unit 2256, a back cover unit 2257, a foot side plate 2258, and a pressure detection unit 2259.

[0242] The foot base frame 2251 is connected to the lifting frame portion 2210 and can be fixed in position and attached to a preset area of ​​the lifting frame portion 2210. The foot base frame 2251 includes a fastening member 2251a and can be attached to the lifting frame portion 2210 via the fastening member 2251a, specifically, attached to the lifting frame body 2211.

[0243] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 20 The roller portion 2256 can be rotatably attached to the foot base frame 2251. The roller portion 2256 is attached to the foot base frame 2251 in a manner that allows it to contact the ground, and multiple roller portions can be provided and respectively connected to both sides of the foot base frame 2251.

[0244] Reference Figure 21A and Figure 21B A pressure detection unit 2259 is disposed inside the roller portion 2256, and can detect the pressure applied to the roller portion 2256. When the roller portion 2256 contacts the ground, the pressure detection unit 2259 detects the pressure applied to the roller portion 2256, and can transmit the relevant information to the control unit 1200.

[0245] The control unit 1200 can receive pressure information from the pressure detection unit 2259 and control the drive of the lifting drive unit 2300.

[0246] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 The foot massager body 2252 can be connected to the foot base frame 2251 by rotating clockwise or counterclockwise with a preset rotation center axis AX3 as a reference.

[0247] Therefore, the user places their legs on the leg massage unit 2000, and the foot massage body 2252 rotates relative to the foot base frame 2251, thereby enabling ankle rotation and ankle movement.

[0248] Reference Figure 21A The foot massage body 2252 is oriented in one direction relative to the foot base frame 2251 (with... Figure 21AThe foot rotates clockwise (based on the reference direction), and the user's instep is pulled towards the calf massage section 2230, thereby enabling ankle rotation movements.

[0249] Reference Figure 21B The foot massage body 2252 is oriented relative to the foot base frame 2251 in a direction opposite to the first direction (to... Figure 21B The ankle can rotate (counterclockwise) with the instep of the foot facing the ground, allowing for ankle rotation.

[0250] Reference Figure 21A and Figure 21B The foot massager body 2252 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the foot base frame 2251 with a preset rotation center axis AX3 as a reference.

[0251] Reference Figure 21A and Figure 21B The foot massager body 2252 can be rotated upward by a preset angle θ3, specifically, to 15 degrees, and downward by a preset angle θ4, specifically, to 45 degrees, with reference to a reference line HL parallel to the ground.

[0252] That is, the foot massage body 2252 can rotate relative to the foot base frame 2251 within a range of 45 degrees downward and 15 degrees upward with reference to the reference line HL.

[0253] In this invention, the foot massage body 2252 can be set to an initial state so that it is 15 degrees downward relative to the foot base frame 2251 with reference line HL as the reference, and can be rotated 30 degrees clockwise and counterclockwise respectively on this basis.

[0254] However, it is not limited to this and can be implemented in various ways. For example, the foot massage body 2252 can be configured to rotate relative to the foot base frame 2251 within a preset angle range.

[0255] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 18 The foot massage body 2252 can accommodate the user's foot and can be rotatably connected to the foot base frame 2251. The massage module described above can be configured on the foot massage body 2252 and can provide massage to the user's foot.

[0256] The foot massager body 2252 can be connected to the rotary drive unit 2254, which will be described later, and can receive power from the rotary drive unit 2254 to rotate relative to the foot base frame 2251. The rotary drive unit 2254 will be described in detail later.

[0257] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the rotating unit 2253 receives power from the rotating drive unit 2254 and rotates. When the rotating unit 2253 rotates, the foot massage body 2252 can rotate relative to the foot base frame 2251 with a preset rotation center axis AX3 as a reference.

[0258] Reference Figure 20 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rotating unit 2253 can receive power from the rotating drive unit 2254 via a worm gear and rotate. Specifically, the rotating unit 2253 can be formed as a worm wheel, and the rotating drive unit 2254, which meshes with the rotating unit 2253, can specifically have a worm formed in the rotating power transmission part 2254c.

[0259] However, it is not limited to this. Within the technical concept of transmitting the power generated by the rotary drive unit 2254 to the rotary unit 2253 and generating rotational power, various modifications can be implemented, such as the rack and pinion method.

[0260] The rotating unit 2253 and the rotating detection unit 2255 (described later) are specifically combined with the rotating body 2255a. As the rotating unit 2253 rotates, the rotating body 2255a can also rotate together. The rotating unit 2253 and the rotating body 2255a can be formed as one unit, or they can be set as separate objects and combined.

[0261] Reference Figure 19 The rotating unit 2253 may have a through hole 2253h centered on a preset rotation center axis AX3.

[0262] Wires or air tubes T that can enter the interior of the foot massager body 2252 can pass through the through-hole 2253h. That is, wires that connect to the massage module located inside the foot massager body 2252, air tubes T that connect to the airbag, etc., can pass through the through-hole 2253h and connect to electrical components and air supply units located outside the foot massager body 2252.

[0263] Reference Figure 19 The wires and air ducts T that are led out from the inside of the foot massage body 2252 through the through hole 2253h formed in the rotating unit 2253 to the outside of the foot massage body 2252 can pass through the internal space of the foot side plate 2258, pass again through the holes (not specified in the drawings) formed in the drive base 2254a, etc., provided in the rotating drive unit 2254, and connect to the electrical components and air supply unit located on the outside of the foot massage body 2252.

[0264] Therefore, it has the following effect: even if the foot massage body 2252 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the foot base frame 2251, it can prevent the wires and air ducts T from getting tangled or interfering with other structures.

[0265] Reference Figure 6 , Figures 18 to 20 and Figure 21A The rotation drive unit 2254 is disposed on the foot base frame 2251, which can transmit power to the foot massage body 2252 and cause the foot massage body 2252 to rotate relative to the foot base frame 2251.

[0266] The rotation drive unit 2254 can be located inside the foot side plate 2258. Therefore, external impacts are prevented from being applied to the rotation drive unit 2254, and damage to the rotation drive unit 2254 due to such impacts can be prevented.

[0267] The rotary drive unit 2254 may include a drive base 2254a, a rotary drive source unit 2254b, and a rotary power transmission unit 2254c.

[0268] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The drive base 2254a is equipped with a rotary drive source 2254b and a rotary power transmission part 2254c, located inside the foot side plate 2258, and can be fixedly positioned and configured on the foot base frame 2251. As an optional embodiment, it can be fixedly positioned on the foot side plate 2258.

[0269] Reference Figure 19 A hole is formed in the drive base 2254a, through which the wires connected to the massage module and the air duct T connected to the airbag pass. The wires pass through the through hole 2253h formed in the rotating unit 2253, and can then be connected to the air supply section and control section 1200 located inside the leg massage section 2000 through the hole formed in the drive base 2254a.

[0270] The rotary drive source unit 2254b generates power by receiving power from an external source; specifically, it can generate rotational power. (See reference...) Figure 20 The rotary drive source 2254b can be a motor.

[0271] The rotary drive source 2254b is disposed outside the foot massage body 2252 and can be disposed between the foot massage body 2252 and the lifting frame body 2211.

[0272] The rotation center axis of the rotational power generated by the rotational drive source 2254b can be configured to be parallel to the rotation center axis of the rotational unit 2253.

[0273] Therefore, the rotation drive source 2254b will not rotate along the width direction of the foot massage body 2252 (with... Figure 15A Instead of being positioned on either side of the outer area of ​​the foot massage body 2252 (based on the left-right direction), it can be positioned on the rear side (with...). Figure 18 (Based on the right side).

[0274] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The rotary power transmission unit 2254c connects the rotary drive source unit 2254b and the foot massage body 2252, and can transmit the power generated by the rotary drive source unit 2254b to the foot massage body 2252.

[0275] The rotary power transmission unit 2254c can receive power from the rotary drive source unit 2254b in a gear manner, and can transmit power to the rotary unit 2253 in a gear manner. Specifically, the rotary power transmission unit 2254c can receive power from the rotary drive source unit 2254b and rotate in a worm gear manner.

[0276] That is, the rotary drive source 2254b may have a worm gear, and the rotary power transmission part 2254c that meshes with the rotary drive source 2254b may have a worm.

[0277] However, it is not limited to this. Within the technical concept of transmitting the power generated by the rotary drive source 2254b to the rotary power transmission unit 2254c and generating rotary power, various modifications can be implemented, such as the rack and pinion method.

[0278] As described above, the rotary power transmission unit 2254c can transmit power to the rotary unit 2253 via a worm gear. That is, worms are formed on both sides of the rotary power transmission unit 2254c, and can mesh and rotate with the rotary drive source unit 2254b and the rotary unit 2253, respectively.

[0279] Reference Figure 19 The central axis of the rotational power generated by the rotational drive source 2254b is arranged parallel to the rotational central axis AX3 of the rotational unit 2253, and the rotational central axis of the rotational power transmission unit 2254c can be skewed to the other two central axes respectively.

[0280] That is, the rotation center axis of the rotary power transmission unit 2254c is not parallel to, does not intersect with, and does not exist on the same plane as the other two center axes.

[0281] Therefore, the rotary drive source 2254b can be disposed on the rear side of the foot massage body 2252 within the width range of the foot massage body 2252 (to... Figure 18(based on the right side), and has the effect of minimizing the space occupied by the rotation drive unit 2254.

[0282] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rotation detection unit 2255 detects the rotational position of the foot massage body 2252 relative to the foot base frame 2251, and may include a rotation body 2255a and a rotation sensor body 2255b.

[0283] The rotating body 2255a is connected to the foot massage body 2252, specifically, to the rotating unit 2253, and can rotate together with the rotating unit 2253. The rotating body 2255a can use the rotation center axis AX3 of the rotating unit 2253, which rotates relative to the foot base frame 2251, as the rotation center axis, and rotate in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction.

[0284] The rotating body 2255a can be integrally formed with the foot massage body 2252 and rotate together. However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made, such as fastening it by a separate fastening unit (not shown in the figure).

[0285] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The rotating body 2255a may have an extension (not specified in the figure) extending radially from the rotation center axis AX3.

[0286] The extension can be configured to face the rotation sensor body 2255b as the rotating body 2255a rotates. The rotation detection unit 2255 can detect the rotational position of the foot massage body 2252 and the rotating body 2255a based on the relative position of the extension and the rotation sensor body 2255b.

[0287] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 The rotation sensor body 2255b is disposed on the rotation path of the extension formed on the rotation body 2255a, specifically on the rotation path of the extension of the rotation body 2255a, and can detect the rotation body 2255a.

[0288] The rotary sensor body 2255b is disposed on the drive base 2254a and may include a plurality of rotary sensor bodies 2255ba1, 2255ba2, and 2255ba3. The plurality of rotary sensor bodies 2255ba1, 2255ba2, and 2255ba3 may be arranged at a predetermined distance around the rotation radius formed on the extension of the rotary body 2255a.

[0289] The rotating body 2255a and the rotating sensor bodies 2255ba1, 2255ba2, and 2255ba3 can detect their relative rotational positions using Hall effect sensors. Specifically, the rotating body 2255a is magnetic and rotates around the central axis AX3. The extension portion formed on the rotating body 2255a can rotate with a preset radius.

[0290] Multiple rotation sensor bodies 2255ba1, 2255ba2, and 2255ba3 are arranged on the moving path of the extension. Each of the multiple rotation sensor bodies 2255ba1, 2255ba2, and 2255ba3 can detect the change in magnetic field caused by the movement of the rotating body 2255a, specifically the movement of the extension.

[0291] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 Multiple rotating sensor bodies 2255ba1, 2255ba2, and 2255ba3 can be spaced apart by a preset angle around the rotation center axis AX3 of the rotating body 2255a, specifically, at 30-degree intervals.

[0292] Reference Figure 18 In this utility model, three rotation sensor bodies 2255ba1, 2255ba2, and 2255ba3 are provided. Taking the first rotation sensor body 2255ba1 among the three rotation sensor bodies 2255ba1, 2255ba2, and 2255ba3 as a reference, two second rotation sensor bodies 2255ba2 and a third rotation sensor body 2255ba3 can be arranged on both sides of it.

[0293] The position of the first rotation sensor body 2255ba1 is the position of the "reference position BP" of the foot massage body 2252 relative to the foot base frame 2251, which can correspond to the initial position (or basic position) of the foot massage body 2252.

[0294] In the reference position BP, the foot massage body 2252 can be configured to tilt downwards at a preset angle relative to the ground, specifically, tilted at 15 degrees.

[0295] The second rotation sensor body 2255ba2 can be spaced 30 degrees from the first rotation sensor body 2255ba1 around the rotation radius of the rotation body 2255a. The second rotation sensor body 22555ba2 can be configured to be positioned higher than the first rotation sensor body 2255ba1 (within a certain range). Figure 18 (Based on the position).

[0296] The position of the second rotation sensor body 2255ba2 is capable of detecting the "lower position LP" of the foot massage body 2252 relative to the foot base frame 2251, which is the state in which the outer end of the foot massage body 2252 moves to the lowest side.

[0297] In the lower position LP, the foot massage body 2252 can be configured to tilt downwards at 45 degrees relative to the ground.

[0298] The third rotation sensor body 2255ba3 can be spaced 30 degrees away from the first rotation sensor body 2255ba1 around the rotation radius of the rotation body 2255a. The third rotation sensor body 22555ba3 can be configured to be positioned further downward relative to the first rotation sensor body 2255ba1. Figure 18 (Based on the position).

[0299] The position of the third rotation sensor body 2255ba3 is capable of detecting the "upper position UP" of the foot massage body 2252 relative to the foot base frame 2251, which is the state in which the outer end of the foot massage body 2252 moves to the uppermost side.

[0300] In the upper position UP, the foot massage body 2252 can be configured to tilt upwards at 15 degrees relative to the ground.

[0301] In this invention, multiple rotation sensor bodies 2255ba1, 2255ba2, and 2255ba3 are arranged at 30-degree intervals, but are not limited thereto. Various modifications can be made, such as arranging them at multiple angles within the technical concept of being able to detect the relative rotation angle of the foot massage body 2252 relative to the foot base frame 2251.

[0302] The rotation detection unit 2255 transmits the rotational position, specifically the rotation angle, of the foot massage body 2252 relative to the foot base frame 2251 to the control unit 1200 via an electrical signal. The control unit 1200 can control the drive of the rotation drive unit 2254 by receiving the electrical signal.

[0303] That is, the upper position UP and the lower position LP are the maximum positions that the foot massage body 2252 can rotate relative to the foot base frame 2251, which can provide the user with ankle rotation movement function.

[0304] When the ankle rotation movement is completed, the control unit 1200 can control the drive of the rotation drive unit 2254 so that the foot massage body 2252 can return.

[0305] In this invention, the rotating body 2255a and multiple rotating sensor bodies 2255ba1, 2255ba2, and 2255ba3 detect the relative rotational position using Hall effect sensors, but are not limited to this and can be implemented in various ways, such as using infrared sensors to detect the relative rotational position.

[0306] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 20 The roller portion 2256 is rotatably attached to the foot base frame 2251 and can contact the ground. Multiple roller portions 2256 can be provided and connected to both sides of the foot base frame 2251 respectively.

[0307] Reference Figure 21A and Figure 21B A pressure detection unit 2259 is disposed inside the roller portion 2256, and can detect the pressure applied to the roller portion 2256. When the roller portion 2256 contacts the ground, the pressure detection unit 2259 detects the pressure applied to the roller portion 2256, and can transmit the relevant information to the control unit 1200.

[0308] The control unit 1200 can receive pressure information from the pressure detection unit 2259 and control the drive of the lifting drive unit 2300.

[0309] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 12 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the rear cover portion 2257 can cover the outer region of the foot base frame 2251 and can be combined with the lifting frame portion 2210. Therefore, when the lifting frame portion 2210 moves relative to the connecting frame portion 2100, the rear cover portion 2257 can move together with the lifting frame portion 2210.

[0310] Reference Figure 18 The rear cover 2257 may include a first rear cover 2257a and a second rear cover 2257b. The first rear cover 2257a may cover the rear region of the foot base frame 2251, and the second rear cover 2257b may cover the lower region of the foot base frame 2251.

[0311] The second rear cover 2257b is connected to the first rear cover 2257a and can be integrally formed with the first rear cover 2257a. However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made, such as fastening it to the first rear cover 2257a by a separate fastening unit.

[0312] Reference Figure 18Since the first back cover 2257a and the second back cover 2257b cover the rear and lower regions of the foot base frame 2251, a space can be formed between the foot massage body 2252 and the back cover 2257, which are rotatably connected to the foot base frame 2251.

[0313] The rotary drive unit 2254, specifically, the rotary drive source unit 2254b can be disposed in the space, and can prevent foreign objects from entering the rotary drive source unit 2254b and the rotary power transmission unit 2254c connected to the rotary drive source unit 2254b and transmitting rotary power to the rotary unit 2253.

[0314] Reference Figure 18 On the side of the second rear cover 2257b facing the foot massage body 2252 (with) Figure 18 The left end (based on the reference) can be formed with an inclined surface in the direction away from the ground towards the foot massage body 2252.

[0315] Specifically, the inclined surface can be formed to be inclined upward toward the foot massage body 2252, and the end of the inclined surface can be separated from the foot massage body 2252 by a preset distance d.

[0316] Therefore, it has the effect of preventing the foot massage body 2252 and the back cover 2257 from contacting and interfering with each other, and minimizing the entry of foreign objects between the foot massage body 2252 and the back cover 2257.

[0317] Reference Figure 18 The facing of the foot massage body 2252 is formed on the outer surface of the inclined surface of the second rear cover 2257b, and the distance from the foot massage body 2252 to the rotation center axis AX3 of the foot massage body 2252 can be formed in the same preset range.

[0318] Therefore, even if the foot massage body 2252 rotates relative to the foot base frame 2251 within a preset range, the distance d between the outer surface and the inclined surface of the foot massage body 2252 can be formed in the same way.

[0319] Furthermore, since the spacing distance d between the inclined surface of the second rear cover 2257b and the outer surface of the foot massage body 2252 is formed in the same preset rotation range of the foot massage body 2252, it has the effect of preventing interference and collision between the foot massage body 2252 and the inclined surface formed on the rear cover portion 2257 (specifically the second rear cover 2257b), and can minimize the entry of foreign objects between the foot massage body 2252 and the rear cover portion 2257.

[0320] Reference Figure 6The foot side plate 2258 covers the side of the foot base frame 2251 and may be configured with a circuit board CB that is electrically connected to an electrical unit such as the rotation drive unit 2254.

[0321] Since the circuit board CB is located on the foot side plate 2258, it allows for easy maintenance and replacement of the circuit board CB by removing the cover (not specified in the attached drawing) that covers the foot side plate 2258 when necessary.

[0322] The rotation drive unit 2254 can be configured on the foot side plate 2258 and can be formed with a hole through it, so that the foot massage body 2252, specifically, the rotation unit 2253, wires, air ducts T, etc. can pass through the hole.

[0323] Reference Figures 11 to 14 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the lifting drive unit 2300 is connected to the connecting frame unit 2100 and transmits power to the lifting frame unit 2210, so that the lifting frame unit 2210 can move relative to the connecting frame unit 2100 in a preset direction (to... Figure 11 (Relative movement in the vertical direction based on the reference).

[0324] The lifting drive unit 2300 may include a drive source unit 2310, a power transmission unit 2330, a detection unit 2350, and a drive housing 2370.

[0325] The drive source unit 2310 is fixed inside the drive cover 2400 (described later) and can generate power by receiving power. Specifically, the drive source unit 2310 can be an electric motor and can generate rotational power.

[0326] Since the drive source 2310 is located inside the drive cover 2400, when the lifting frame 2210 moves relative to the connecting frame 2100, the drive source 2310 is not exposed to the outside, and foreign objects can be prevented from entering from the outside.

[0327] Reference Figure 13 The drive source unit 2310 can be connected to the power transmission unit 2330, and the power generated by the drive source unit 2310 can be transmitted to the lifting frame unit 2210 through the power transmission unit 2330. The drive source unit 2310 can be coupled to the drive housing 2370 and fixed in position on the drive housing 2370.

[0328] Reference Figure 13 The power transmission unit 2330 connects the drive source unit 2310 and the lifting frame unit 2210, and can transmit the power generated by the drive source unit 2310 to the lifting frame unit 2210. The power transmission unit 2330 may include a lead wire unit 2331, a power transmission body 2333, and a moving body 2335.

[0329] The power transmission unit 2330 can convert the rotational power received from the drive source unit 2310 into linear power. This will be explained in detail later.

[0330] Lead portion 2331 along the length direction (with Figure 14 Extending in the vertical direction (based on the reference), and one end of it (with) Figure 14 The upper end (based on the reference) can be connected to the power transmission body 2333 described later. The lead wire part 2331 can rotate with the longitudinal central axis AX4 as the rotation center axis.

[0331] The longitudinal central axis AX4 of the lead portion 2331 can be formed parallel to the central axis of the rotational power generated by the drive source portion 2310. Alternatively, the longitudinal central axis AX4 of the lead portion 2331 and the central axis of the rotational power generated by the drive source portion 2310 can be located on the same plane.

[0332] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 The lead wire portion 2331 can be located inside the drive cover portion 2400 together with the drive source portion 2310.

[0333] The lead wire portion 2331 may have threads formed around its outer surface. When the lead wire portion 2331 rotates, the movable body 2335, which is connected to the lead wire portion 2331 by means of threaded engagement, and the lifting frame portion 2210, which is connected to the movable body 2335, may move relative to the connecting frame portion 2100.

[0334] The power transmission body 2333 connects the drive source unit 2310 and the lead wire unit 2331, and can transmit the power generated by the drive source unit 2310 to the lead wire unit 2331. The power transmission body 2333 may include an annular track belt.

[0335] In this invention, the power transmission body 2333 can transmit the rotational power generated by the drive source 2310 to the lead wire 2331 via a belt.

[0336] However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made. For example, multiple gears are connected to the drive source 2310 and the lead wire 2331 respectively, and the multiple gears mesh with each other, thereby transmitting the rotational power generated by the drive source 2310 to the lead wire 2331.

[0337] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13The movable body 2335 is combined with the lifting frame 2210 and can move on the lead wire 2331. The movable body 2335 can be connected to the lead wire 2331 by a threaded connection, and a threaded groove with a shape corresponding to the thread shape formed on the outer surface of the lead wire 2331 can be formed on the inner surface of the movable body 2335.

[0338] The movable body 2335 can be connected to the bridging bracket 2213, which connects to the lifting frame part 2210, specifically, to a pair of lifting frame bodies 2211.

[0339] That is, the movable body 2335 can be located between a pair of lifting frame bodies 2211.

[0340] When the rotational power generated by the drive source 2310 is transmitted to the lead wire 2331 through the power transmission body 2333, the moving body 2335 can move along the lead wire 2331 in a preset direction (towards...). Figure 14 The lifting frame 2210, which moves relative to the moving body 2335 in the vertical direction, can move linearly on the connecting frame 2100.

[0341] Reference Figure 13 The detection unit 2350 detects the rotation of the drive source unit 2310 and can be located inside the drive housing 2370. The detection unit 2350 can detect and measure the rotation angle, rotation speed and rotation direction of the drive source unit 2310 by means of an encoder.

[0342] The detection unit 2350 can detect how much the drive source unit 2310 has rotated relative to a preset reference point.

[0343] Therefore, the detection unit 2350 can transmit information about the rotational power of the drive source 2310 to the control unit 1200. This information about the rotational power of the drive source 2310 is used to cause the lifting frame 2210, which is movable relative to the connecting frame 2100, to reach the upper or lower end along the moving axis AX2. Figure 11 After using the baseline, return to the reference position (or basic position).

[0344] The control unit 1200 controls the lifting drive unit 2300, specifically the drive source unit 2310, so that the relative position of the lifting frame unit 2210 with respect to the connecting frame unit 2100 returns to the reference position.

[0345] Reference Figures 11 to 14The drive housing 2370 is fixed to the connecting frame 2100. Its interior is hollow and can accommodate the preset areas of the drive source 2310 and the lead wire 2331, as well as the power transmission part 2330.

[0346] Since the drive housing 2370 is fixed to the connecting frame portion 2100, even if the lifting frame portion 2210 moves relative to the connecting frame portion 2100, the position of the drive source portion 2310 attached to the drive housing 2370 can be fixed.

[0347] Furthermore, since the drive housing 2370 is disposed inside the drive cover portion 2400, even if the lifting frame portion 2210 moves relative to the connecting frame portion 2100, the drive housing 2370 and the drive source portion 2310 can be prevented from being exposed to the outside.

[0348] Reference Figures 5 to 12 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a lifting drive unit 2300 is disposed on its inner side of the drive cover portion 2400, and can cover a predetermined area of ​​the connecting frame portion 2100, specifically, covering the upper area (with... Figure 11 (Based on).

[0349] The drive cover 2400 may include a first drive cover 2410 and a second drive cover 2450. The first drive cover 2410 may cover one side of the connecting frame portion 2100 (to... Figure 11 (Based on the front side), the second drive cover 2450 is configured to face the first drive cover 2410 and can cover the other side opposite to the side of the connecting frame 2100 (with the front side as reference). Figure 11 (Based on the rear side).

[0350] The first drive cover 2410 and the second drive cover 2450 are arranged facing each other and can be joined by fastening units such as bolts. As an optional embodiment, the first drive cover 2410 and the second drive cover 2450 can be fastened to the connecting frame portion 2100 by fastening units, specifically, to the connecting frame body 2110.

[0351] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 The first drive cover 2410 can move along the lifting frame 2210 in the direction of movement (to) Figure 11 The lifting frame 2210 has an opening in the vertical direction as a reference and extends to form a lifting slot (slit) 2411. A predetermined area of ​​the lifting frame 2210 passes through the lifting slot 2411 and can move on the connecting frame 2100.

[0352] The preset area of ​​the lifting frame portion 2210 passing through the lifting groove 2411 can be combined with the fastening member 2231 provided in the calf massage portion 2230.

[0353] Therefore, when the lifting frame portion 2210 moves relative to the connecting frame portion 2100, the calf massage portion 2230, which is positioned facing the first drive cover portion 2400 and specifically facing the first drive cover portion 2410, can move together.

[0354] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 Multiple lifting slots 2411 are provided, and they can be located on both sides of the center of the first drive cover 2410.

[0355] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 14 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a position detection unit 2500 is provided on the connecting frame portion 2100 and the lifting frame portion 2210, and can detect the position of the lifting frame portion 2210 relative to the connecting frame portion 2100. The position detection unit 2500 may include a sensor body 2510 and a signal body 2550.

[0356] Reference Figure 12 The sensor body 2510 is disposed on the connecting frame 2100 and can detect the position of the lifting frame 2210 by interacting with the signal body 2550 connected to the lifting frame 2210.

[0357] The sensor body 2510 and the signal body 2550 can detect their relative position using a Hall effect sensor. That is, the signal body 2550 is magnetic and can move along a preset direction (within a predetermined direction). Figure 14 The sensor body 2510 can detect changes in the magnetic field caused by the movement of the signal body 2550 (based on the vertical direction).

[0358] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 The sensor body 2510 can be fixed in a preset area of ​​the connecting frame 2100, and the signal body 2550 can be fixed in a preset area of ​​the lifting frame 2210 that moves relative to the connecting frame 2100.

[0359] That is, as the lifting frame 2210 moves, the signal body 2550, which moves along with it, moves closer to or further away from the sensor body 2510, which is fixed in position, thereby causing a change in the magnetic field. The sensor body 2510 can detect the position of the lifting frame 2210 relative to the connecting frame 2100 by detecting this change in the magnetic field.

[0360] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 14 Multiple sensor bodies 2510 are provided, and the multiple sensor bodies 2510 can be arranged along the length direction of the connecting frame portion 2100 (within...). Figure 14 The configuration is separated by vertical (based on the baseline) configuration.

[0361] Reference Figure 14 Any one of the multiple sensor bodies 2510a can be configured on one side of the connecting frame portion 2100 (to... Figure 14 (based on the lower side), and another sensor body 2510b can be configured on the other side of the connecting frame portion 2100 (to the lower side). Figure 14 (Based on the upper side).

[0362] Reference Figure 14 The other sensor body 2510b can be configured on the other side of the connecting frame portion 2100 (to... Figure 14 The lifting drive unit 2300, which is connected to the upper side (based on the reference), is specifically disposed in the drive housing 2370.

[0363] However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made. For example, multiple sensor bodies 2510a and 2510b are all configured in the connecting frame part 2100, specifically in the connecting frame body 2110.

[0364] Reference Figures 11 to 14 Multiple signal bodies 2550 can be set to correspond to multiple sensor bodies 2510. The multiple signal bodies 2550a and 2550b can move along the direction of movement of the lifting frame portion 2210 relative to the connecting frame portion 2100 (to... Figure 14 The configuration is separated by vertical (based on the baseline) configuration.

[0365] Reference Figure 14 Multiple signal bodies 2550a and 2550b can be configured on a bridging bracket 2213, which connects to the lifting frame part 2210, specifically, a pair of lifting frame bodies 2211.

[0366] Therefore, when the lifting frame 2210 moves relative to the connecting frame 2100, multiple signal bodies 2550a and 2550b move together and can be configured to face multiple sensor bodies 2510a and 2510b.

[0367] When the signal body 2550 approaches or moves away from the sensor body 2510, a change in the magnetic field occurs. The sensor body 2510 can detect the position of the lifting frame 2210 that houses the signal body 2550 by detecting the change in the magnetic field.

[0368] Reference Figures 15A to 15C This illustrates the state in which the leg massage main body 2200 moves along the moving axis AX2 on the connecting frame 2100 with the connecting frame 2100 in a fixed position. Figure 15AThe "basic state" is shown. Figure 15B It shows an "ascending state". Figure 15C The status is "declining".

[0369] like Figure 15B As shown, in the ascending state, hip joint movement functions can be provided to the user, such as... Figure 15C As shown, in the lowered state, while providing hip joint movement function, the length of the leg massage unit 2000 can also be adjusted to suit the leg length of users with relatively long legs.

[0370] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15C In the "lowering state", when multiple signal bodies 2550a, 2550b and multiple sensor bodies 2510a, 2510b interact, the signal body 2550a disposed on the lower side can be configured to face the sensor body 2510a disposed on the lower side, and the lifting frame portion 2210 can be lowered to the maximum position relative to the connecting frame portion 2100.

[0371] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 15B In the "rising state", the signal body 2550b disposed on the upper side can be configured to face the sensor body 2510b disposed on the upper side, and the lifting frame 2210 can be raised to the maximum position relative to the connecting frame 2100.

[0372] That is, the lifting frame portion 2210, which is combined with the calf massage portion 2230 and the foot massage portion 2250, is rotatably connected to the body massage portion 1000. Specifically, it moves relative to the connecting frame portion 2100 relative to the seat frame 1120, thereby providing the user with hip joint movement function.

[0373] According to one embodiment of the present invention, when the position detection unit 2500 detects the position of the lifting frame part 2210 relative to the connecting frame part 2100, the relevant information can be transmitted to the control unit 1200 as an electrical signal.

[0374] The control unit 1200 receives information related to the position of the lifting frame unit 2210 relative to the connecting frame unit 2100 and controls the drive of the lifting drive unit 2300.

[0375] The control unit 1200 can control the lifting drive unit 2300, specifically, it controls the drive of the drive source unit 2310 so as to generate a preset rotational power in the "rising state" or "falling state".

[0376] That is, when the lifting drive unit 2300 moves the lifting frame unit 2210 a preset distance in the "rising state" or "falling state", the relative position of the lifting frame unit 2210 with respect to the connecting frame unit 2100 can be... Figure 15A The "basic state" shown corresponds to this.

[0377] Reference Figure 15A In the "basic state", from the rotation center axis AX1 of the connecting frame 2100 to the leg massage body 2200, specifically, to one end of the foot massage part 2250 (with Figure 15A The distance from the lower end of BL (based on the reference point) is the first distance D1.

[0378] Reference Figure 15B In the "rising state", the rotation center axis AX1 of the connecting frame 2100 is extended to one end of the foot massage part 2250 (with... Figure 15C The distance of the lower end of the reference (UL) is the second distance D2. Specifically, the second distance D2 is formed to be 55mm to 65mm shorter than the first distance D1, specifically, 60mm shorter.

[0379] Reference Figure 15C In the "lowered state", the rotation center axis AX1 of the connecting frame 2100 is extended to one end of the foot massage part 2250 (with... Figure 15C The distance from the lower end of the reference point (LL) is the third distance D3. Specifically, the third distance D3 is formed to be 165mm to 175mm longer than the first distance D1, specifically, 170mm longer.

[0380] That is, the position detection unit 2500 accurately detects the relative position of the lifting frame unit 2210 with respect to the connecting frame unit 2100, and the control unit 1200 controls the driving of the lifting drive unit 2300, thereby providing the user with leg movement functions including the hip joint by switching between the "basic state", "lowering state" and "rising state".

[0381] In this invention, the sensor body 2510 and the signal body 2550 detect their relative positions using a Hall sensor, but this is not a limitation and various modifications can be made, such as detecting their relative positions using an infrared sensor.

[0382] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 16 as well as Figure 17 The hinge drive unit 2800 may include a hinge drive source unit 2810 and a hinge link unit 2830. The hinge drive source unit 2810 is connected to the frame unit 1100, specifically to the seat frame 1120, and can generate power by receiving power from an external source.

[0383] The hinge drive source 2810 may include a drive rod 2811, and the length of the drive rod 2811 may be adjusted as power is generated from the hinge drive source 2810. The drive rod 2811 may transmit power to the hinge link 2830, which will be described later, so that the hinge link 2830 rotates relative to the seat frame 1120.

[0384] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The hinge link portion 2830 may include: a hinge link body 2831, one side of which is connected to the drive rod 2811 and the other side of which is rotatably connected to the seat frame 1120; and a hinge link roller 2835, which is rotatably connected to the end of the hinge link body 2831 and can contact the connecting frame portion 2100.

[0385] The hinge drive unit 2800 can be driven by receiving an electrical signal from the control unit 1200. Specifically, as the hinge drive source unit 2810 generates power, the length of the drive rod 2811 is adjusted, and the hinge link unit 2830 can rotate relative to the seat frame 1120.

[0386] The hinge link roller 2835 contacts the rear surface of the connecting frame portion 2100 in a rolling manner and can adjust the leg massage portion 2000, specifically the relative rotation angle of the connecting frame portion 2100 relative to the frame portion 1100 (specifically the seat frame 1120).

[0387] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the inclined frame 1150 is combined with the body frame, specifically with the seat frame 1120, and can rotate relative to the base frame 1130.

[0388] The inclined frame 1150 can be connected to the base frame 1130, specifically to the upper base frame 1131, so that it can rotate relative to the base frame along a predetermined rotation center axis.

[0389] Reference Figure 2 The front side of the tilting frame 1150 is rotatably connected to the base frame 1130, specifically to the upper base frame 1131, and the tilting drive unit 1900, described later, can be connected to the rear side of the tilting frame 1150.

[0390] Therefore, when the tilt drive unit 1900 is driven and its length is adjusted, the rear side of the tilt frame 1150 moves away from the ground (towards...). Figure 17Based on the reference, it can move from the bottom to the top, and can rotate counterclockwise with reference to the rotation center axis of the area formed on the front side of the inclined frame 1150 and the base frame 1130.

[0391] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 16 The tilting frame 1150 is configured between the base frame 1130 and the body frame, and can receive power from the tilting drive 1900 and rotate relative to the base frame 1130.

[0392] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 As the inclined frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130, the body frame coupled to the inclined frame 1150 can rotate and move, that is, as it moves forward (towards) Figure 17 By rotating to the left (based on the reference side), the massage device 100 can be in "standing mode (or standing mode)".

[0393] This standing mode has the following effects: the user receiving the massage can easily stand up from the massage device 100 to the front side, and when the user wants to sit on the massage device 100, the user can easily sit down by moving the user-sitable area of ​​the seat part 1000a located on the seat frame 1120 to the front and upward side.

[0394] The tilting frame 1150 can be rotatably connected to the base frame 1130 at multiple points. Specifically, the multiple points can be configured on the rotational center axis of the tilting frame 1150 relative to the base frame 1130 and can be spaced apart along the width direction of the massage device 100.

[0395] Reference Figure 2 The body frame connected to the tilt frame 1150, specifically, the positions of the seat frame 1120 and the back frame 1110 can be fixed.

[0396] When the tilting frame 1150 receives power from the tilting drive unit 1900 and rotates relative to the base frame 1130, the angle formed between the ground and the seat frame 1120 can be changed.

[0397] Reference Figure 5 The inclined frame 1150 may have an inclined track 1151. Reclining rollers RR may be inserted into the inclined track 1151, and the inclined rollers RR located at the front and / or rear of the body frame may move on the inclined track 1151.

[0398] Reference Figure 5In this utility model, the tilting roller RR is provided in the seat frame 1120, but it is not limited to this and can be implemented in various modifications, such as being provided in the back frame 1110.

[0399] In this invention, the tilting roller RR is connected to the body frame, and the tilting track 1151 is provided in the tilting frame 1150. However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made. For example, the tilting roller is connected to the tilting frame 1150, and the tilting track is provided in the body frame, specifically the back frame 1110 and / or the seat frame 1120.

[0400] Reference Figure 5 When the state in which the tilting frame 1150 does not rotate relative to the base frame 1130 is referred to as the "basic mode", the body frame, specifically, the front side of the seat frame 1120 (with... Figure 5 (Based on the left side) compared to the rear side (with) Figure 5 (based on the right side) is located on the relative upper side (with) Figure 5 (Based on).

[0401] On the other hand, the seat frame 1120 can be configured to tilt forward and upward. Therefore, in the basic mode, the user can comfortably sit in the seat frame 1120 and receive a massage.

[0402] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 In the "standing mode" where the tilted frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130, the body frame coupled with the tilted frame 1150, specifically, the front side of the seat frame 1120 (with... Figure 16 (Based on the left side) compared to the rear side (with) Figure 16 (based on the right side) is located on the relative lower side (with) Figure 16 (Based on).

[0403] On the other hand, the seat frame 1120 can be configured to tilt downwards toward the front.

[0404] Therefore, when a user wants to use the massage device 100 and sits down, the rear side of the seat frame 1120 and the seat part 1000a where the user wants to sit rises towards the front and upper side, so that the sitting point can be located on the upper side relative to the basic state, thus having the effect of making it easy to sit on the seat part 1000a.

[0405] Furthermore, when a user gets up from the massage device 100 after using it, the rear side of the seat frame 1120 and the seat part 1000a where the user is sitting rises towards the front and upward, thus making it easy to get up from the seat part 1000a.

[0406] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the tilting frame 1150 can be connected to one side of the tilting drive unit 1900. When the tilting drive unit 1900 is driven, the tilting frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130 and can change from the basic mode to the standing mode.

[0407] Specifically, when the tilting frame 1150 rotates counterclockwise with respect to the rotation center axis of the tilting frame 1150 relative to the base frame 1130, it can change from the basic mode to the standing mode.

[0408] Additionally, when the tilting frame 1150 rotates clockwise with respect to the rotation center axis of the tilting frame 1150 relative to the base frame 1130, it can change from the standing mode to the basic mode.

[0409] Reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 When the tilting drive unit 1900 is driven, the tilting frame 1150 can be further rotated by a second angle θ2 relative to the base frame 1130, the second angle θ2 being relatively larger than the first angle θ1.

[0410] At this time, the control unit 1200 transmits an electrical signal to the lifting drive unit 2300, so that the lifting frame unit 2210 can move relative to the connecting frame unit 2100 in a direction away from the ground (towards) Figure 17 (Based on the reference, move from the bottom to the top).

[0411] The control unit 1200 receives information related to the pressure applied to the roller 2256 from the pressure detection unit 2259, and can control the drive of the lifting drive unit 2300 so that the pressure applied to the roller 2256 due to contact with the ground does not exceed the preset pressure.

[0412] Therefore, the roller section 2256 and the leg massage section 2000 provided with the roller section 2256 can be prevented from being damaged due to excessive pressure.

[0413] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 16 as well as Figure 17 The tilt drive unit 1900 connects the base frame 1130 (specifically the lower base frame 1132) and the tilt frame 1150, and transmits power to the tilt frame 1150, so that the tilt frame 1150 can rotate relative to the base frame 1130 with a preset rotation center axis as a reference.

[0414] One end of the tilt drive unit 1900 can be connected to the base frame 1130, and the other end opposite thereto can be connected to the tilt frame 1150.

[0415] The tilt drive unit 1900 can be adjusted in length by receiving power from an external source. When the length of the tilt drive unit 1900 is adjusted, the tilt frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130 about the rotation center axis, and a standing mode can be achieved.

[0416] However, it is not limited to this. Within the technical concept that the tilting frame 1150 can rotate relative to the base frame 1130 when the tilting drive unit 1900 is driven, various modifications can be implemented, such as by expanding the volume of the airbag or by adjusting the angle.

[0417] The tilt drive unit 1900 can be adjusted in length by means of an actuator. However, it is not limited to this and various modifications can be made. For example, when the tilt drive unit 1900 is driven by a cylinder, the length can be adjusted.

[0418] The tilt drive unit 1900 can be electrically connected to the control unit 1200. The tilt drive unit 1900 can receive electrical signals from the control unit 1200 and be driven. When the tilt drive unit 1900 is driven, the length of the tilt drive unit 1900 is adjusted, and the tilt frame 1150 and the body frame coupled with the tilt frame 1150 can rotate relative to the base frame 1130.

[0419] At least one tilt drive unit 1900 may be provided. When multiple tilt drive units 1900 are provided, the multiple tilt drive units 1900 may be arranged spaced apart in the width direction between the massage device 100, specifically, the base frame 1130 and the body frame.

[0420] Because multiple tilt drive units 1900 are provided, the load that acts when the tilt frame 1150 and the body frame connected to the tilt frame 1150 rotate relative to the base frame 1130 is distributed.

[0421] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 16 as well as Figure 17 The tilt drive unit 1900 may include a tilt drive source 1910 and a tilt rod 1950.

[0422] The tilt drive source 1910 is used to generate driving force and can be connected to the base frame 1130.

[0423] Specifically, the tilt drive source 1910 is connected to the lower base frame 1132, but is not limited thereto and can be implemented in various variations, such as being connected to the upper base frame 1131.

[0424] The tilt drive source 1910 can be rotatably connected to the base frame 1130, specifically to the lower base frame 1132. Therefore, the length of the tilt rod 1950 is adjusted, and a stable rotation path can be provided when the tilt frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130.

[0425] That is, when the tilting frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130, compared to the case where the tilting drive source 1910 is fixed in position and attached to the base frame 1130, the load can be prevented from being concentrated in the connection area between the tilting drive source 1910 and the base frame 1130.

[0426] The tilt drive source 1910 can be configured to be positioned relatively lower than the tilt lever 1950 (to... Figure 5 (Based on the position). In other words, the area where the tilt drive source 1910 and the base frame 1130 are connected can be configured in a position that is relatively lower than the area where the tilt rod 1950 and the tilt frame 1150 are connected.

[0427] That is, because the length-adjustable tilt bar 1950 is positioned on the relatively upper side (to... Figure 5 (Based on the base frame 1130), so when the tilt frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130, it has the effect of reducing the load applied to the tilt drive unit 1900.

[0428] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the tilt drive source 1910 receives an electrical signal from the control unit 1200 and adjusts the length of the tilt rod 1950 in a motor manner. However, it is not limited to this. Within the technical concept of adjusting the length of the tilt rod 1950 by transmitting power to the tilt rod 1950, various modifications can be made, such as using a compressor.

[0429] Reference Figure 5 The tilt drive source 1910 can be connected to a position on the base frame 1130 corresponding to the lowest point of the body frame. Specifically, the tilt drive source 1910 can be connected to a position facing the area connected to the back frame 1110 and the seat frame 1120.

[0430] Therefore, when the tilt drive source 1910 generates power and adjusts the length of the tilt rod 1950, that is, when the tilt frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130 and is in the forward direction of the back frame 1110 (towards... Figure 5 When standing upright (using the right side as a reference, from right to left), it can prevent the body frame from tilting too far forward.

[0431] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 16 as well as Figure 17The tilt lever 1950 is connected to the tilt drive source 1910 and receives power from the tilt drive source 1910 to achieve length adjustment.

[0432] The tilting rod 1950 can be rotatably connected to the tilting frame 1150. Therefore, when power is received from the tilting drive source 1910 and the tilting frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130, a stable rotation path can be provided.

[0433] That is, when the tilting frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130, compared to the case where the end position of the tilting rod 1950 is fixed and attached to the tilting frame 1150, the load can be prevented from being concentrated in the connection area between the tilting rod 1950 and the tilting frame 1150.

[0434] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the tilting rod 1950 can be configured to be positioned relatively higher than the tilting drive source 1910 (i.e., to...). Figure 5 (Based on the position). In other words, the area where the tilt rod 1950 and the tilt frame 1150 are connected can be configured to be positioned relatively higher than the area where the tilt drive source 1910 and the base frame 1130 are connected.

[0435] That is, because the length-adjustable tilt bar 1950 is positioned on the relatively upper side (to... Figure 5 (Based on the base frame 1130), so when the tilt frame 1150 rotates relative to the base frame 1130, it has the effect of reducing the load applied to the tilt drive unit 1900.

[0436] Within the technical concept of receiving power from the tilting drive source 1910 and adjusting its length, various variations can be implemented. For example, the tilting rod 1950 can be formed in a rack-and-pinion configuration or a cylinder configuration.

[0437] The tilt bar 1950 can be configured to be positioned relative to the base frame 1130 from the front (with) Figure 5 (Based on the left) to the rear (with) Figure 5 (The right side of the reference point) tilts upwards.

[0438] Therefore, when the length of the tilt bar 1950 increases in the direction away from the ground, it approaches the vertical direction, thereby minimizing the load applied to the tilt drive unit 1900.

[0439] The other end of the tilting rod 1950, opposite to one end connected to the tilting drive source 1910, is connected to the tilting frame 1150, and said other end may be positioned further upward relative to the rotation center axis of the tilting frame 1150 with respect to the base frame 1130. Figure 5 (Based on the position).

[0440] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the massage device has the effect of preventing safety accidents caused by foreign objects entering or users getting stuck in the space used to configure the lifting drive unit when the lifting frame part moves relative to the connecting frame part, since the lifting drive part is housed inside the drive cover part and is not exposed to the outside.

[0441] In addition, since the foot massager body rotates relative to the foot base frame about a preset rotation center axis, it can provide the user with ankle rotation movement function.

[0442] In addition, since the rotation detection unit detects the rotational position of the foot massager body relative to the foot base frame, it can stably provide the user with ankle rotation movement function within a preset ankle rotation range.

[0443] 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.

[0444] 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.

[0445] Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are exemplary in all respects and not restrictive.

[0446] The scope of protection of this utility model shall be interpreted by the claims, and shall be interpreted as including all technical features within the scope equivalent to the claims within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
