Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a massage device, and more specifically, to a massage device that automatically adjusts the leg length when a user is seated in the massage device. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, a massage device is a widely used apparatus that includes various massage modules that come into close contact with the user's body to relax muscles and relieve overall fatigue. In particular, a leg massage section is provided at the lower part of the massage device to massage the legs and feet. This leg massage section can be formed with a sliding structure to allow its length to be adjusted according to the user's body.

[0003] If the massage device cannot adjust the length of the leg support section of the leg massager or the adjustment range is limited, it may be difficult to provide appropriate pressure to users with different body conditions. For example, for users with long legs, if the leg support section cannot expand sufficiently, it may cause problems such as the knees or feet not being able to accurately align with the space accommodated by the leg massager. Conversely, for users with short legs, if the length of the leg support section is too long, it may cause problems such as leg pressure or reduced massage effect.

[0004] In the past, massage devices with automatic leg length adjustment functions have been developed. However, in order to adjust the leg length, multiple components such as motors, pulleys, and belts are required. This not only complicates the structure but may also increase the cost of the massage device.

[0005] The above information is provided as background information to aid in understanding the content disclosed herein. It should be noted that this specification makes neither a claim nor a judgment regarding whether any of the above content can be considered prior art related to the content disclosed herein.

[0073] Figure 1 This is a diagram illustrating a massage device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0074] A massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a massage section that forms an area for accommodating at least a portion of the body of a user u, supporting the body (e.g., torso) of the user u, and massaging a portion of the body of the user u.

[0075] The massage unit may include at least one of the following massage units: a body massage unit 101 for massaging the user's body, an arm massage unit 102 for massaging the user's arms, and a leg massage unit 103 for massaging the user's legs.

[0076] The body massage unit 101 can massage at least a portion of at least one of, for example, the upper body and lower body of user u. Specifically, the body massage unit 101 may include: a frame unit 110, which forms the frame of the body massage unit 101 and supports the body of user u; a user input unit 140, for receiving input of any form from user u; and an audio output module 150, for providing audio output of any form to user u. Additionally, although described later, the body massage unit 101 may include: a massage module (e.g., Figure 3 The massage module 170 provides massage functionality to at least a part of the user's body; and the sensor unit (e.g., a...) Figure 3 The sensor unit 180 senses the position of the user's body to prevent the user's body from being pinched or otherwise trapped. The structures included in the body massage unit 101 described above are merely exemplary embodiments, and the body massage unit 101 may include various other structures in addition to those described above.

[0077] In addition, such as Figure 1The 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 disclosure without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this disclosure.

[0078] The body massage unit 101 can be formed into a space of any shape to accommodate the user u. The body massage unit 101 can have a space of a shape corresponding to the shape of the user u's body. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, the body massage unit 101 can be implemented in a seated form that can accommodate the whole body or part of the body of the user u, thereby supporting at least a part of the user u's body. For example, the body massage unit 101 may include: a backrest for supporting at least a part of the upper body of the user u; and a seat part for supporting at least a part of the lower body of the user u.

[0079] The portion of the body massage unit 101 that contacts the ground may include any material or component for increasing friction (e.g., an anti-slip mat, etc.) and may include wheels for enhancing the mobility of the massage device 100.

[0080] At least a portion of the body massage unit 101 is slidable. For example, when the body massage unit 101 begins to massage (or when the body massage unit 101 is actuated), at least a portion of the body massage unit 101 can slide forward, and another portion can tilt backward. As a result, the body massage unit 101 can provide massage in a backward-tilted state. For example, the massage device 100 may include an actuator for tilting the massage device 100 (or body massage unit 101) backward. The massage device 100 can tilt or return the body massage unit 101 to its original state by actuating the aforementioned actuator. At this time, the actuator may be configured on at least a portion of the massage device (e.g., in a position where...). Figure 2 (The base frame 112 of the frame portion 110, which will be described later).

[0081] The massage device 100 may include at least one airbag (not shown). The airbag may be located in at least a portion of the body massage portion 101 (e.g., at least one of the areas corresponding to the user u's shoulder, the pelvis, or the waist, etc., in the entire area of ​​the body massage portion 101), at least a portion of the arm massage portion 102, at least a portion of the leg massage portion 103, etc., but is not limited thereto, and may be provided in multiple portions of the massage device 100.

[0082] 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 101 or in the leg massage unit 103. Alternatively, the air supply unit may be located in the arm massage unit 102. Alternatively, the air supply unit may be located outside the massage device 100.

[0083] The frame portion 110 forms the framework of the internal structure of the body massage portion 101. In terms of defining the overall shape of the massage device 100, the frame portion 110 can be referred to as the "main frame." The frame portion 110 can be made of metal or plastic materials, etc. For example, the frame portion 110 can be made of iron, alloys, steel, etc., but is not limited to these, and can also be made of various hard materials.

[0084] The massage device 100 may include a massage module (not shown).

[0085] The massage module can be disposed inside the body massage unit 101 to provide any form of mechanical stimulation to the user u accommodated in the body massage unit 101. The massage module may include at least one actuator.

[0086] like Figure 1 As shown, the massage module can move along the frame portion 110 disposed inside the body massage unit 101. In other words, the massage module can massage at least a part of the user u's body (or provide massage to at least a part of the user u's body) while moving along the frame portion 110.

[0087] A rack gear may be provided in the frame portion 110 of the body massage unit 101, allowing the massage module to provide mechanical stimulation to various parts of the user's body while moving along the rack. For example, the massage module can massage at least one body part of the user's back, shoulders, waist, buttocks, thighs, etc., by patting or kneading. The massage module may include, but is not limited to, at least one massage unit selected from ball massage units and roller massage units.

[0088] The arm massage unit 102 can be disposed on at least one side and the other side of the body massage unit 101. For example, the arm massage unit 102 may include at least one of the following arm massage units: a first arm massage unit disposed on one side of the body massage unit 101 for massaging one side of the user's arm; and a second arm massage unit disposed on the other side of the body massage unit 101 for massaging the other side of the user's arm. The first arm massage unit and the second arm massage unit can be based on the control unit of the massage device 100 (e.g., the control unit of the massage device 100). Figure 3 The control units 120 operate independently of each other.

[0089] The arm massage unit 102 can provide an arm rest 1021. The user's arm can be accommodated in the arm rest 1021.

[0090] The arm massage unit 102 may include multiple airbags. According to one embodiment, when the user u rests his arm on the arm rest 1021, the position of the user u's arm can be stably fixed by the inflation of the airbags, and the arm massage unit 102 can provide arm massage by applying pressure to the arm.

[0091] A massage module, including at least one massage unit selected from ball massage units and roller massage units, may also be provided on the arm massage unit 102. According to one embodiment, when the user u rests his arm on the arm resting part 1021, the massage module can be driven to provide arm massage, either additionally or instead of inflating the airbag.

[0092] The leg massage unit 103 may be disposed at the lower part of the body massage unit 101 and / or at the lower front part of the massage device 100. The leg massage unit 103 may include at least one of the following leg massage units: a first leg massage unit disposed on one side of the leg massage unit 103 for massaging one leg of the user u; and a second leg massage unit disposed on the other side of the leg massage unit 103 for massaging the other leg of the user u.

[0093] The leg massage unit 103 includes a receiving space for accommodating the user u's legs and can provide leg massage to the user u by massaging at least a portion of the user u's legs. For example, the leg massage unit 103 may include a calf massage unit for massaging the user u's lower legs and / or a foot massage unit for massaging the user u's feet.

[0094] The leg massage unit 103 can adjust its length according to the user's body characteristics. For example, when a tall user uses the massage device 100, the leg massage unit 103 needs to be longer because of the longer calves. Conversely, when a short user uses the massage device 100, the leg massage unit 103 needs to be shorter because of the shorter calves. Therefore, the leg massage unit 103 can provide a leg massage customized to the user's height.

[0095] The leg massage unit 103 can provide a leg rest 1031. The user's legs can be accommodated in the leg rest 1031.

[0096] The leg massage unit 103 may include multiple airbags. According to one embodiment, when the user u rests his / her leg on the leg rest 1031, the position of the user's leg can be stably fixed by the inflation of the airbags, and the leg massage unit 103 can provide leg massage by applying pressure to the leg.

[0097] A massage module, including at least one massage unit selected from ball massage units and roller massage units, may also be provided on the leg massage unit 103. According to one embodiment, when the user u rests his / her legs on the leg rest unit 1031, the massage module can be driven to provide leg massage, either additionally or instead of inflating the airbag.

[0098] The seat area 104 provided in the massage device 100 may include: an upper body support for supporting the upper body of the user; and a lower body support for supporting the lower body of the user. The upper body support can contact and support the user's upper body (specifically from the head to the back), and the lower body support can contact and support the user's body in the area below the upper body support (buttocks, thighs, etc.).

[0099] The user input unit 140 can receive commands related to the motion control of the massage device 100 from the user u. The user input unit 140 can be implemented in various forms. For example, the user input unit 140 can be provided in the body massage unit 101, the arm massage unit 102, or the leg massage unit 103. However, it is not limited to these.

[0100] The massage device 100 can receive various commands from the user through the user input unit 140. For example, the massage device 100 can receive any command regarding the selection of massage module, massage mode, massage intensity, massage time, massage area, position and movement of the body massage unit 101, on / off power supply of the massage device 100, whether to activate the heating function, and audio playback, but is not limited to these.

[0101] The massage device 100 may include an audio output module 150. The audio output module 150 may be located in various positions. For example, the audio output module 150 may include, but is not limited to, multiple output units such as an upper audio output unit disposed at the upper end of the seat area 104 that contacts the user sitting on the massage device 100, a front audio output unit attached to the front end of the arm massage section 102 on the left / right side of the seat area 104, and / or a rear audio output unit attached to the rear end of the arm massage section 102.

[0111] exist Figure 2 In the design, rack 111a is formed in the vertical direction, but is not limited thereto. Rack 111a may include racks in the front-to-back direction and racks in the vertical direction.

[0112] The massage module may include gears that mesh with rack 111a. More specifically, the massage module may include gears that mesh with racks in the forward-backward direction and racks in the up-down direction, respectively. The gears are rotated by an actuator disposed on the massage module, allowing the massage module to move forward, backward, up, or down.

[0113] As the massage module moves forward, the massage intensity can increase. Conversely, as the massage module moves backward, the massage intensity can decrease. "Moving forward" means the massage module moves towards the user, and "moving backward" means the massage module returns to its original position before moving towards the user.

[0114] The rack 111a is made of metal or plastic. For example, the rack 111a can be made of iron, steel, alloy, reinforced plastic, melamine resin, phenolic resin, etc., but is not limited to these.

[0115] Although the rack 111a is disclosed in this disclosure as a component for guiding the movement of the massage module, according to embodiments, the massage device 100 may include a track structure provided additionally to or in place of the rack 111a.

[0116] The body frame 111 can be implemented in various shapes. For example, depending on the shape, the body frame 111 can be divided into S-frame, L-frame, S&L-frame, double S&L-frame, but is not limited to these.

[0117] An S-frame refers to a frame in which at least a portion of the body frame 111 includes a shape that is curved like an "S". An L-frame refers to a frame in which at least a portion of the body frame 111 includes a shape that is curved like an "L". An S&L frame refers to a frame that includes both a shape that is curved like an "S" and a shape that is curved like an "L". A double S&L frame refers to a frame that includes a shape that is curved like an "L" and two parts that are curved like an "S".

[0118] The base frame 112 refers to the portion of the frame 110 that supports the body frame 111 and is in contact with the ground. The base frame 112 may include an upper base frame 112a and a lower base frame 112b.

[0119] The upper base frame 112a can support the body frame 111, and the lower base frame 112b can contact the ground. In addition, the upper base frame 112a can be connected to the lower base frame 112b.

[0120] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the upper base frame 112a is movable along the lower base frame 112b. For example, the upper base frame 112a can slide forward or backward along the lower base frame 112b. In this case, the body frame 111 is connected to the upper base frame 112a and can move with the movement of the upper base frame 112a.

[0121] For example, when the upper base frame 112a moves forward, the body frame 111 can also move forward together; when the upper base frame 112a moves backward, the body frame 111 can also move backward together. Therefore, it is possible to allow the body massage section (e.g., Figure 1 The body massage section 101) slides.

[0122] Specifically, to enable the upper frame 112a of the base to move, casters can be provided at the lower part of the upper frame 112a. Additionally, a guide member can be provided at the upper part of the lower frame 112b of the base to guide the casters. The casters on the upper frame 112a move along the guide member on the lower frame 112b, thereby allowing the upper frame 112a to move forward or backward.

[0123] According to another embodiment of this disclosure, the massage device 100 may not provide a sliding function, in which case the base frame 112 may not be separated into an upper frame and a lower frame.

[0165] The specific configuration of the massage device 500 according to an embodiment of this disclosure, not described below, may be related to... Figures 1 to 4 The specific configuration of the massage device 100 described is the same as or similar to that of the other devices. Figure 5 In subsequent embodiments, unless otherwise stated, the description of the specific configuration of the massage device 500 may apply to the following embodiments. Figures 1 to 4 The description of the components that are the same as or similar to those of the massage device 100.

[0166] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a massage device 500 may include a body massage unit 501 and a leg massage unit 503.

[0167] The body massage unit 501 can massage at least a portion of, for example, the upper body and lower body of user u. Specifically, the body massage unit 501 may include a frame portion 510, which forms the frame of the body massage unit 501 and supports the body of user u. Furthermore, although described later, the body massage unit 501 may include: a massage module (e.g., Figure 3The body massage unit 501 includes a massage module 170 that provides massage to at least a part of the user's body; and a sensor unit 590 that senses the position of the user's body to prevent the user's body from being trapped. For example, the sensor unit 590 may be a sensor provided to prevent the user's legs from being trapped. The structures included in the body massage unit 501 described above are merely exemplary embodiments, and the body massage unit 501 may include various structures in addition to those described above.

[0168] The body massage unit 501 can be formed into a space of any shape to accommodate the user u. The body massage unit 501 can have a space corresponding to the shape of the user u's body. For example, as... Figure 5 As shown, the body massage unit 501 can be implemented in a seated form capable of accommodating the entire body or part of the user u, thereby supporting at least a part of the user u's body. For example, the body massage unit 501 may include: a backrest for supporting at least a part of the user u's upper body; and a seat part for supporting at least a part of the user u's lower body.

[0169] At least a portion of the body massage unit 501 is slidable. For example, when the body massage unit 501 begins to massage (or when the body massage unit 501 is actuated), at least a portion of the body massage unit 501 can slide forward, and another portion can tilt backward. As a result, the body massage unit 501 can provide massage in a backward-tilted state. For example, the massage device 500 may include an actuator for tilting the massage device 500 (or body massage unit 501) backward. The massage device 500 can tilt or return the body massage unit 501 to its original state by actuating the aforementioned actuator. At this time, the actuator may be configured on at least a portion of the massage device (e.g., the base frame 112 of the frame portion 510 described later). Figure 2 )).

[0170] The massage device 500 may include at least one airbag (not shown). The airbag may be located in at least a portion of the body massage portion 501 (e.g., at least one of the areas corresponding to the user u's shoulder, the pelvis, and the waist, etc., in the entire area of ​​the body massage portion 501), at least a portion of the arm massage portion 102, at least a portion of the leg massage portion 503, etc., but is not limited thereto, and may be provided in multiple portions of the massage device 500.

[0171] The massage device 500 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 501 or in the leg massage unit 503.

[0172] The frame portion 510 forms the framework of the internal structure of the body massage portion 501. In terms of defining the overall shape of the massage device 500, the frame portion 510 can be referred to as the "main frame." The frame portion 510 can be made of materials such as metal or plastic. For example, the frame portion 510 can be made of iron, alloys, steel, etc., but is not limited to these; it can also be made of various sturdy materials.

[0173] The leg massage unit 503 may be disposed at the lower part of the body massage unit 501 and / or at the lower front part of the massage device 500. The leg massage unit 503 may include at least one of the following leg massage units: a first leg massage unit disposed on one side of the leg massage unit 503 for massaging one leg of the user u; and a second leg massage unit disposed on the other side of the leg massage unit 503 for massaging the other leg of the user u.

[0174] The leg massage unit 503 includes a receiving space for accommodating the user u's legs and can provide leg massage to the user u by massaging at least a portion of the user u's legs. For example, the leg massage unit 503 may include a calf massage unit for massaging the user u's lower legs and / or a foot massage unit for massaging the user u's feet.

[0175] The leg massage unit 503 can adjust its length according to the user's body characteristics. For example, when a tall user uses the massage device 500, the leg massage unit 503 needs to be longer because of the longer calves. Conversely, when a short user uses the massage device 500, the leg massage unit 503 needs to be shorter because of the shorter calves. Therefore, the leg massage unit 503 can provide a leg massage customized to the user's height.

[0176] The leg massage unit 503 provides a leg rest 5031. The user's leg can be accommodated in the leg rest 5031. The leg massage unit 503 provides a leg support 5032. The leg support 5032 can support the user's lower leg. The leg massage unit 503 may include side guides 5033 of the leg support 5032. The side guides 5033 can support the sides of the user's lower leg. The side guides 5033 may include two side guides 5033a and 5033b, which are disposed on both sides of the leg massage unit 503, protruding from the leg support 5032.

[0177] The leg massage unit 503 may include multiple airbags. According to one embodiment, when the user u rests their leg on the leg rest 5031, the inflation of the airbags can stably fix the position of the user's leg, and the leg massage unit 503 can provide leg massage by applying pressure to the leg. The position of the user's leg can be stably fixed by multiple airbags disposed on the side guide 5033. The leg massage unit 503 may also be provided with a massage module including at least one massage unit selected from ball massage units and roller massage units. According to one embodiment, when the user u rests their leg on the leg rest 5031, the massage module can be driven to provide leg massage, either additionally or instead of inflating the airbags.

[0178] Frame section 510 (e.g.: Figures 1 to 3 The frame portion 110) can constitute the massage device 500 (e.g.: Figure 1 The frame structure of the massage device 100. (Refer to...) Figure 5 As a component of the frame 510, the body frame 511 is disclosed (e.g.: Figure 2 Body frame 111) and base frame 512 (e.g.: Figure 2 (Base frame 112).

[0179] The body frame 511 can be configured to support a portion of the user's upper and lower body (e.g., pelvic floor muscles). The base frame 512 refers to the portion of the frame that supports the body frame 511 and contacts the ground. The base frame 512 may include a base upper frame 5121 (e.g.,...). Figure 2 The upper base frame 112a) and the lower base frame 5122 (e.g.: Figure 2 (Base lower frame 112b).

[0180] The upper base frame 5121 can support the body frame 511, and the lower base frame 5122 can contact the ground. In addition, the upper base frame 5121 can be connected to the lower base frame 5122.

[0181] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, the upper base frame 5121 can move along the lower base frame 5122. For example, the upper base frame 5121 can slide forward or backward along the lower base frame 5122. In this case, the body frame 511 is connected to the upper base frame 5121 and can move with the upper base frame. For example, when the upper base frame 5121 moves forward, the body frame 511 can also move forward together; when the upper base frame 5121 moves backward, the body frame 511 can also move backward together.

[0182] The massage device 500 disclosed herein can adjust the angles of the body massage section 501 and the leg massage section 503 to present a tilted posture (e.g., a semi-reclining posture or a weightless posture) according to the user's body shape and posture. Furthermore, the massage device 500 can be configured to provide mechanically driven or electrically stimulated massage movements to various parts of the user's body (neck, shoulders, back, lumbar spine, buttocks, legs, etc.).

[0183] To enable tilting motion, the massage device 500 of this disclosure may further include a main hinge 515 and a leg angle adjustment hinge 535. The main hinge 515 can rotate around a first rotation axis (MA axis, described later), and the leg angle adjustment hinge 535 can rotate around a second rotation axis (LA axis, described later). The main hinge 515 tilts the body frame 511 by adjusting the angle of the upper frame 5121 of the base. The leg angle adjustment hinge 535 is provided for adjusting the angle between the body massage unit 501 and the leg massage unit 503. The leg massage unit 503 can tilt relative to the body massage unit 501 by a predetermined angle based on the user's body shape and posture, using the leg angle adjustment hinge 535 as a reference. At this time, the angle of the leg massage unit 503 relative to the body massage unit 501 can be adjusted by pushing the rear of the leg support 5032 of the leg massage unit 503 from back to front using the linkage member included in the actuator of the massage device 500.

[0184] When the angle between the leg massage unit 503 and the body massage unit 501 increases, the distance between the back of the leg massage unit 503 and the front of the body massage unit 501 increases. A space for mounting components is formed inside the body massage unit 501 (e.g., inside the lower frame 512), and this portion can be observed from the outside when the distance between the back of the leg massage unit 503 and the front of the body massage unit 501 increases. The massage device 500 may include a front blocking member 513 so that the internal structure of the lower frame 512 is not observed from the front side of the body massage unit 501 when the distance between the back of the leg massage unit 503 and the front of the body massage unit 501 increases. Not only the front of the massage device 500, but also the massage device 500 may provide a side blocking member 514 on the side of the body massage unit 501 so that the internal structure of the lower frame 512 is not observed from the side.

[0185] The massage device 500 disclosed herein may include a length adjustment unit 505 for adjusting the length of the leg. Adjusting the leg length may refer to an actuator that adjusts the length of the leg massage unit 503. According to one embodiment, adjusting the length of the leg massage unit 503 may also mean adjusting the length of the leg support unit 5032 included in the leg massage unit 503. Adjusting the length of the leg massage unit 503 (adjusting the length of the leg support unit 5032) may refer to the space in the leg massage unit 503 that can accommodate the user's leg expanding in one direction. When the user rests their leg on the leg support unit 5032 of the leg massage unit 503, the massage device 500 of this disclosure can adjust the length of the leg massage unit 503 to fit the user, resulting in the user receiving a massage that matches their body shape. According to one embodiment, the length adjustment unit 505 of this disclosure may be used instead of the above. Figure 3 The leg length adjustment actuator described above. According to yet another embodiment, it can be used in the above-described... Figure 3 The length adjustment unit 505 of this disclosure is additionally included in addition to the leg length adjustment actuator described herein.

[0186] The length adjustment section 505 can be disposed on the back of the leg support section 5032, and can be configured to be substantially opposite to the front of the body massage section 501 when the distance between the back of the leg massage section 503 and the front of the body massage section 501 is at its minimum. According to one embodiment, the length adjustment section 505 can be surrounded by the back cover 504 of the leg massage section 503.

[0187] Reference Figures 6 to 8 The length adjustment unit 505 will be described in detail below.

[0188] exist Figure 6 In the accompanying drawings and subsequent figures, multiple directional components can be labeled. For example, a first directional component pointing towards a first direction ①, a second directional component pointing towards a second direction ②, and a third directional component pointing towards a third direction ③ can be labeled. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction can be different from each other. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction can be perpendicular to each other. According to one embodiment, the first direction corresponds to the length direction (or height direction) of the length adjustment part 505, and can be the direction in which the length of the leg support part 5032 is adjusted by the length adjustment part 505 to make it longer or shorter. The second direction is a direction perpendicular to the first direction, and can be the width direction of the length adjustment part. The third direction is a direction perpendicular to the first and second directions, and can correspond to the front or back direction of the leg support part 5032. For example, when the length adjustment part 505 is surrounded by the back cover 504 of the leg massage part 503, the direction in which one side 5041 of the back cover 504 faces can be parallel to the third direction.

[0189] The length adjustment part 505 disclosed herein may include: a first frame 520, fixedly coupled to the back of the leg support part 5032; a second frame 530, coupled to the first frame 520 in a manner that allows movement via a track; and a spring 540, one end of which is connected to the first frame side and the other end of which is connected to the second frame side.

[0190] The first frame 520 and the second frame 530 can be configured to engage with each other via a track, allowing their relative positions to change. Regarding the length adjustment unit 505 of this disclosure, when a user pushes the leg rest 5031 with their legs resting on the leg support 5032, the first frame 520 and the second frame 530 move away from each other, and the spring can extend. When the user's foot leaves the leg rest 5031, the first frame 520 and the second frame 530 move towards each other due to the restoring force of the spring 540, thereby achieving leg length adjustment. According to this disclosure, even without components such as motors, pulleys, and belts, the user can manually adjust the leg length.

[0191] As previously described, the leg massage unit 503 can be configured to be adjustable in angle relative to the body massage unit 501. According to one embodiment, the angle of the leg massage unit relative to the body massage unit can be adjusted via a leg angle adjustment hinge 535. According to one embodiment, the leg angle adjustment hinge 535 can be coupled to the upper end of the second frame 530. The leg angle adjustment hinge 535 can be configured on a shaft 536 at the upper end of the second frame 530 and surrounding elements of the shaft 536 (e.g., to be discussed later). Figure 20 and Figure 21 The leg hinge bracket (580) is defined as described in the description.

[0192] When the leg massage unit 503 and the body massage unit 501 are connected by the leg angle adjustment hinge unit 535, if the linkage member included in the actuator of the massage device 500 (for example, the leg angle adjustment rod 570 described later) pushes the rear cover 504 of the leg massage unit 503 from back to front, the angle of the leg massage unit 503 relative to the body massage unit 501 can be increased.

[0193] The leg massage section 503 may be equipped with a support plate 534 for contacting a linkage member (e.g., the leg angle adjustment rod 570 described later). The support plate 534 may be disposed on the second frame 530. According to one embodiment, the support plate 534 may have a plate shape with a relatively long length, a relatively narrow width, and a thin thickness. According to one embodiment, the support plate 534, when parallel to the length direction of the length adjustment section 505, may have one end and the other end fixedly disposed on the second frame 530. The support plate 534 may be configured to contact the linkage member (e.g., the leg angle adjustment rod 570 described later) when it performs a push-forward motion. Since the support plate 534 needs to receive the force pushed by the linkage member (e.g., the leg angle adjustment rod 570 described later) to adjust the angle of the leg massage section 503, it may be made of a metal material with high rigidity.

[0194] The leg massage unit 503 may include wheels 5241 for enhancing mobility. According to one embodiment, the wheels 5241 may be formed at one end of the second frame 530. During the initial movement for adjusting the angle of the leg massage unit 503, allowing it to slide using the wheels 5241 makes the leg angle adjustment movement smoother.

[0195] Reference Figure 8 The first frame 520 can be securely fixed to the back of the leg support portion 5032 of the leg massage portion 503. According to one embodiment, an entire area of ​​one side of the first frame 520 can be configured opposite to the leg support portion 5032.

[0196] In addition to the rear cover 504, the length adjustment portion 505 of the leg massage portion 503 may also include a frame cover 550. The frame cover 550 prevents the first frame 520 and / or the second frame 530 and its surrounding components from being externally identified during relative movement between the first frame 520 and the second frame 530. The frame cover 550 may be disposed between the rear cover 504 and the first frame 520. The second frame 530 may be disposed between the frame cover 550 and the first frame 520. According to one embodiment, the frame cover 550 may have a form that surrounds the second frame 530. For example, the frame cover 550 may have a vertical frame and a horizontal frame surrounding the second frame 530, and may also have at least a portion of an axis surrounding the second frame 530. The frame cover 550 may include a groove 552 formed at a position corresponding to the support plate 534 of the second frame 530. The support plate 534 of the second frame 530 can be exposed to the outside through the groove 552. The exposed support plate 534 can be configured to contact the linkage member (e.g., the leg angle adjustment rod 570, which will be described later).

According to one embodiment, a plurality of second horizontal frames 532 may be disposed between the second-1 vertical frame 5311 and the second-2 vertical frame 5312. For example, the plurality of second horizontal frames 532 may include a second-1 horizontal frame 5321 disposed between the upper end of the second-1 vertical frame 5311 and the upper end of the second-2 vertical frame 5312, and a second-2 horizontal frame 5322 disposed downwardly at a predetermined distance from the second-1 horizontal frame 5321. According to one embodiment, in addition to the second-1st horizontal frame 5321 and the second-2nd horizontal frame 5322, a second-3rd horizontal frame 5323 and / or a second-4th horizontal frame 5324 may also be configured. According to one embodiment, the second-1st horizontal frame 5321, the second-2nd horizontal frame 5322, the second-3rd horizontal frame 5323, and / or the second-4th horizontal frame 5324 may be arranged parallel to each other. However, the scope of this disclosure is not limited thereto; additional horizontal frames may be configured or some of the aforementioned horizontal frames may be omitted.

[0204] The second frame 530 may include a second track structure 533. The second track structure 533 may be configured parallel to the second vertical frame 531. According to one embodiment, the second track structure 533 may include a second-1 track structure and a second-2 track structure adjacent to the second-1 vertical frame 5311 and the second-2 vertical frame 5312, respectively. The second-1 track structure and the second-2 track structure of the second frame 530 engage with the first-1 track structure 5231 and the first-2 track structure 5232 of the first frame 520, allowing the first frame 520 to slide relative to the second frame 530.

[0205] A support plate 534 may be formed in the second frame 530. According to one embodiment, one end and the other end of the support plate 534 may be respectively connected to two of the plurality of second horizontal frames 5321, 5322, 5323, and 5324. (See also...) Figure 10 One end and the other end of the support plate 534 can be connected to the second-second horizontal frame 5322 and the second-third horizontal frame 5323.

[0206] Reference Figures 9 to 12One end 541 of the spring 540 is connected to the first frame 520 side, and the other end 542 is connected to the second frame 530 side. One end of the spring 540 is connected to the first horizontal frame 520 disposed in the middle of the first vertical frame, and the other end of the spring 540 can be connected to the second horizontal frame 530 disposed at the upper end of the second vertical frame. According to one embodiment, one end 541 of the spring 540 can be connected to the first-second horizontal frame 5222 disposed in the middle of the first vertical frame 521 of the first frame 520. The other end 542 of the spring 540 can be connected to the second-first horizontal frame 5321 disposed at the upper end of the second vertical frame 531 of the second frame 530.

[0207] According to one embodiment, the spring 540 can be fixedly connected to the first frame 520 via a first bracket 5225, and fixedly connected to the second frame 530 via a second bracket 5325. According to another embodiment, the first bracket 5225 and / or the second bracket 5325 may have a hook-like structure, and the spring 540 is engaged with the hook-like structure of the first bracket 5225 and / or the second bracket 5325 to fix the position of each end.

[0208] When the spring 540 is fixedly arranged between the first frame 520 and the second frame 530 by the first bracket 5225 and / or the second bracket 5325, the spring 540 becomes longer when the user applies force to extend the length adjustment part 505, and the spring 540 shortens as the length adjustment part 505 returns to its original state when the user releases the force.

[0209] Reference Figure 11A and Figure 11B , Figure 11A The configuration relationship between the first frame 520 and the second frame 530 can be shown when the length adjustment section 505 of the leg massage section is not extended. Figure 11B The configuration relationship between the first frame 520 and the second frame 530 can be shown when the length adjustment section 505 of the leg massage section is extended. Figure 11A and Figure 11B The omission can be shown Figure 10 The structural form after the support plate 534.

[0210] According to one embodiment, the second frame 530 can slide relative to the first frame 520. When the second frame 530 slides relative to the first frame 520, the spring 540 can extend due to tension.

[0211] For example, with the first frame 520 fixed to the leg support 5032, the second frame 530 can slide relative to the first frame 520. Figure 11AThe state when the sliding displacement of the second frame 530 relative to the first frame 520 is at its minimum can be shown; in other words, the state when the spring 540 is not extended can be shown. Figure 11A The initial position of the length adjustment unit 505 can be shown. For example, Figure 11B The state when the sliding displacement of the second frame 530 relative to the first frame 520 reaches its maximum can be shown; in other words, the state when the spring 540 is stretched to its maximum length can be shown. The massage device 500 of this disclosure allows the user to manually apply force to the length adjustment section 505, thereby achieving… Figure 11A and Figure 11B The leg length of the leg massage unit 503 can be adjusted within the movable range of the length adjustment unit 505 shown.

[0212] Reference Figure 13 and Figure 14 The spring 540 may include multiple springs. These multiple springs 540 may be arranged in parallel in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction for adjusting the leg length. For example, Figure 13 and Figure 14 The diagram shows two springs. One spring 540 can be fixedly connected to the first frame 520 via the first bracket 5225 and to the second frame 530 via the second bracket 5325. The other spring 540 can be fixedly connected to the first frame 520 via the third bracket 5226 and to the second frame 530 via the fourth bracket 5326.

[0213] According to one embodiment of this disclosure, compared to using a single spring, arranging two springs in parallel can reduce spring deformation and fatigue through load distribution. Furthermore, arranging two springs in parallel can provide a more stable restoring force and operational reliability.

[0214] According to one embodiment, the leg massage section 503 may also be provided with three or more springs. Using two or more springs has the advantages of being able to adjust the overall spring constant and being able to perform precise elasticity design.

[0215] Figure 15 This is a side view of the massage device disclosed herein. Figure 16 This is a perspective view of the massage device disclosed herein. Figure 17 This is an enlarged view showing the connection between the body massage section and the leg massage section of this disclosure.

The support column 562 may be configured to support the weight of the leg massage unit 503 and the user's leg. According to one embodiment, the support column 562 is configured in a length-adjustable manner, allowing it to move smoothly within the space between the upper base frame 5121 and the lower base frame 5122. For example, the support column 562 may include a shock absorber.

[0219] Reference Figure 15 The massage device 500 may include a leg angle adjustment rod 570, which is connected to a leg angle adjustment actuator 560 and contacts the support plate 534 of the leg massage unit 503 to push it when adjusting the leg angle of the leg massage unit 503.

[0220] The first part 571 of the leg angle adjustment rod 570 can be connected to the upper frame 5121 of the base, and the second part 572 can contact the support plate 534. The third part 573 between the first part 571 and the second part 572 of the leg angle adjustment rod 570 can be connected to the end 563 of the support column 562.

[0221] According to one embodiment, the leg angle adjusting rod 570 may have a rod shape with an overall long length. For example, a first portion 571 may correspond to one end of the leg angle adjusting rod 570 having a rod shape, and a second portion 572 may correspond to the other end. The leg angle adjusting rod 570 has a rod shape with an overall long length, but at least a portion of it includes a protrusion projecting perpendicular to the length direction. A roller (e.g., to be described later) that contacts the support plate 534 may be formed at one end of the leg angle adjusting rod 570. Figure 18(Roller 574). According to another embodiment, the leg angle adjusting rod 570 may have an "L" and / or "T" shape, either wholly or partially. For example, the leg angle adjusting rod 570 may also have an "L" shape with a second portion 572 vertically bent, within a rod shape extending elongated in one direction. As another example, the leg angle adjusting rod 570 may also have a "T" shape with a third portion 573 protruding from the middle of a rod shape extending elongated in one direction. Figure 17 As shown, it can also have both shapes, that is, partly with an "L" shape (e.g., part 572) and partly with a "T" shape (e.g., part 573).

[0222] According to another embodiment, the first portion 571 of the leg angle adjustment rod 570 can be pivotally coupled to the upper base frame 5121. The first portion 571 of the leg angle adjustment rod 570 can rotate relative to the upper base frame 5121. The support column 562 can be pivotally coupled to the third portion 573. The support column 562 can rotate relative to the third portion 573. According to one embodiment, the second portion 572 contacts the support plate 534 in a manner that allows it to slide relative to the support plate 534. For example, the portion of the second portion 572 that contacts the support plate 534 can be equipped with rollers (e.g., those described later). Figure 18 Roller 574).

[0223] Refer to together Figures 15 to 17 The aforementioned leg angle adjustment actuator 560 and leg angle adjustment rod 570 may each consist of a pair of leg angle adjustment actuators 560 and a pair of leg angle adjustment rods 570, corresponding to the number of leg support parts 5032 included in the leg massage part 503.

[0224] Figure 18 This is a diagram illustrating the front blocking member of this disclosure.

[0225] The massage device 500 disclosed herein may include a front blocking member 513. The front blocking member 513 may include a first front blocking member 5131 and a second front blocking member 5132.

[0226] According to one embodiment, the massage device 500 may include a front blocking member 513 for preventing the internal structure of the lower frame 512 from being observed from the front side of the body massage section 501. According to one embodiment, the front blocking member 513 may include a first front blocking member 5131 disposed below the base upper frame 5121 of the frame section, with a leg angle adjustment rod 570 passing through the first front blocking member 5131 and protruding toward the leg massage section, movable in response to movement of the leg angle adjustment rod. According to one embodiment, the front blocking member 513 may include a second front blocking member 5132 fixedly disposed adjacent to the first front blocking member 5131 below the base upper frame 5121 of the frame section.

[0227] An opening 5133 may be formed in the first front blocking member 5131. A portion of the leg angle adjustment rod 570 may be configured to pass through the opening 5133. The leg angle adjustment rod 570 configured to pass through the opening 5133 may be configured to protrude toward the leg massage part.

[0228] The first front blocking member 5131 may include a first-1 front blocking member 51311 and a first-2 front blocking member 51312 extending from the first-1 front blocking member 51311. The first-1 front blocking member 51311 may be a rear cover facing the leg massage part 503 (e.g.: Figure 17 The back cover (504) side (e.g.: Figure 17 The first-1 front blocking member 51312 may be a portion of the first-1 front blocking member 51311 that is exposed to the outside of the massage device 500 when the leg angle adjustment lever 570 pushes the leg massage unit 503 upward. The first front blocking member 5131 is configured to move in response to the movement of the leg angle adjustment lever 570. For example, when the leg angle adjustment lever 570 does not push the leg massage unit 503 upward, only the first-1 front blocking member 51311 is exposed to the outside of the massage device. When the leg angle adjustment actuator 560 drives the leg angle adjustment lever 570 to push the leg massage unit 503 upward, a portion of the first-2 front blocking member 51312 is exposed to the outside of the massage device along with the first-1 front blocking member 51311.

[0229] The second front blocking member 5132 can be fixedly disposed adjacent to the first front blocking member 5131 below the base upper frame 5121 of the frame portion. A buffer portion 5134 is formed in the second front blocking member 5132 to prevent damage when in physical contact with the leg massage portion 503.

[0230] According to one embodiment, the first-1 front blocking member 51311 may have a flat surface, but the first-2 front blocking member 51312 may have a curved surface. A portion of the first-2 front blocking member 51312 may be exposed outside the massage device as the leg angle adjustment rod 570 moves, at which point the first-2 front blocking member 51312 may be configured such that at least a portion of it contacts the back surface of the second front blocking member 5132. In this case, the first-2 front blocking member 51312 may be formed as a curved surface to avoid interference with the back surface of the second front blocking member 5132.

[0231] Figure 19 This is a diagram showing the inclined surface formed by the connection between the body massage section and the leg massage section in this disclosure.

[0232] Refer to together Figure 8 and Figure 19 The massage device 500 also includes a hinge cover 5034 that covers the appearance of the leg angle adjustment hinge 535. The hinge cover 5034 can be formed at an angle relative to the leg support 5032 of the leg massage part.

[0233] The hinge cover 5034 is configured on the portion where the body massage unit 501 connects to the leg massage unit 503, and a portion of the user's leg (e.g., the back of the knee) can rest on this portion. If a portion of the user's leg (e.g., the back of the knee) interferes with the hinge cover 5034 while the user is sitting on the massage device, during the process of sitting down, or while getting off, the user will experience discomfort. To reduce and / or prevent user discomfort, the hinge cover 5034 may be formed with an inclined surface.
