Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a human body stimulation system that provides vibration using acoustic pressure and bone-conducted sound using photoacoustic sound.

[0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to a human body stimulation system that provides vibrations using acoustic pressure and bone conduction sound using photoacoustic sound, the system including a vibration device configured to provide vibrations to the human body using acoustic pressure and a transducer that provides bone conduction sound using photoacoustic sound, thus providing vibrations (tactile sensation) and bone conduction sound (auditory sensation) to the human body (particularly the brain).

[0003] According to the present invention, bone conducted sound can be provided simultaneously with the human body stimulation to vibration. [Background technology]

[0004] The human body naturally ages over time, resulting in natural pain and activity restrictions due to partial degenerative damage. In addition, activity restrictions due to industrial and technological development, traffic accidents, industrial accidents, sports injuries, and simple accidents in activities, as well as various complications due to stress, lack of exercise, and obesity, cause various conditions such as brain damage, myocardial infarction, arteriosclerosis, and arthritis.

[0005] In order to treat pain, injury, obesity, etc. caused by these natural human phenomena or socio-cultural issues, various stimulation devices are developed and utilized, along with medicines and health functional foods. Such stimulation devices include massage devices.

[0006] Generally, a massage device is a device that massages the skin or scalp by tapping or rubbing it to stimulate the skin or scalp to achieve smooth blood circulation, promote fat decomposition, and expel waste. Such massage devices use electrical signals to generate vibrations or electrical stimuli and apply them to the skin or scalp. For example, massage devices include low-frequency massage devices that massage by passing low-frequency current through the human body via electrodes attached to the skin surface, ultrasonic massage devices that deliver ultrasonic vibrations to the human body by contacting an ultrasonic irradiation probe with the skin surface, and massage devices that use extremely low frequency or far infrared rays.

[0007] However, although many technologies have been applied and utilized, the currently utilized human body vibration stimulation technologies, such as linear stimulation using simple rotary vibration motors or solenoids, pressure methods using air pressure, stimulators that induce muscle contraction by inputting low-frequency current, and methods that use magnetic fields to contract muscles, simply apply pressure or stimulation to the human body, and each technology has its own limitations.

[0008] For example, in the case of a vibrator using a motor, the vibration frequency can be adjusted, but its incorrect use due to the shortcoming of not adjusting the amplitude or intensity will result in damage to the human body, and the structure and characteristics of the vibrator mean that the vibration frequency cannot be delivered rhythmically.

[0009] Recently, stimulation methods have been proposed that utilize the speaker principle to improve on this, but they are not implemented with sufficient strength to provide a smooth tactile sensation and merely perform a subordinate function of the speaker.

[0010] Furthermore, technologies using low-frequency current, technologies using ultrasound, technologies using high-frequency current, etc. have been disclosed and applied. However, in the case of low-frequency technologies, it is often inconvenient for users, and in the case of ultrasound technologies, it is difficult for users to immediately adapt to the sensations and effects, and there are fatal difficulties in using them because the affected area is exposed and a medium is required to transmit low-frequency or ultrasound.

[0011] In the case of radio frequency technologies, these are intended for deep heating and not for stimulators, and therefore have inherent risk factors for the user due to the characteristics of radio frequency as well as user anxiety. In the case of radio frequency technologies, they require exposure of the affected area and the medium to transmit during use, and also utilize conductive plates for the transmission of both electrical poles, so they are not only dangerous but also cause many inconveniences in use.

[0012] The low-frequency treatment device has a problem that it applies a low-frequency current in the form of a low-frequency pulse to the skin continuously and repeatedly through an electrode, which generates a sensation similar to an electric shock, making the treatment uncomfortable and reducing the treatment effect by half.Furthermore, the low-frequency treatment device has a problem that the affected area must be exposed in order to attach the electrode to the skin, which causes female users to avoid these devices and the like.

[0013] Furthermore, ultrasonic treatment and beauty devices have various problems, including that ultrasonic vibrations are transmitted when the skin contact surface of the ultrasonic irradiation probe comes into contact with the skin, but if the probe is placed incorrectly on the skin, the ultrasonic vibrations do not transmit, resulting in unsatisfactory effects; and since the ultrasonic output set by the user is emitted regardless of whether the probe is in good contact with the skin or not, the vibration transmitting part of the probe generates heat through vibration when not in contact, causing the temperature of this part to rise and causing discomfort to the user; and there is a risk of inflammation when used for a long period of time.

[0014] In addition, by using a vibrator that vibrates vertically via a magnetic coil method, various skin care modes can be implemented, and various techniques are disclosed for galvanic and iontophoretic massage using the vibrator.

[0015] However, these conventional techniques apply a method of converting the rotational force of a vibration motor into linear motion or cam motion to stimulate the skin, and therefore the process of transmitting the power of the vibration motor generates significant noise, which is uncomfortable for the user of the beauty device.Furthermore, since the principle is to generate vibration through eccentricity, the force distributed in the horizontal direction, i.e., in the direction parallel to the skin surface, is large, and the force acting perpendicular to the skin surface is small, which is a problem in that the skin massage is not effectively performed.

[0016] In addition, devices that generate sound waves by applying the principle of speakers and devices that can generate sound sources have been developed, but they have problems such as a small frequency generation range and very weak strength due to problems such as the structural characteristics of the magnetic circuit, the position of the leaf spring and coil, etc. In addition, such devices must be composed of a guide that uses bearings to maintain the sound wave vibration in a vertical form, and a coil spring to maintain elasticity, so there is a limit to the extent to which they can be miniaturized.

[0017] These conventional technologies have very limited modes of use and functions, making it difficult to effectively manage the human body. Summary of the Invention

[0024] Before describing the present invention with reference to the drawings, it should be noted that unnecessary details, i.e., known configurations that can be easily added by a person skilled in the art, have not been shown or specifically described in order to clarify the gist of the present invention.

[0025] The present invention relates to a human body stimulation system that provides vibration using acoustic pressure and bone-conducted sound using photoacoustic sound.

[0026] More specifically, the present invention relates to a human body stimulation system that provides vibrations using acoustic pressure and bone conduction sound using photoacoustic sound, the system including a vibration device configured to provide vibrations to a human body using acoustic pressure and a transducer that provides bone conduction sound using photoacoustic sound, and thus can provide vibrations (tactile sensation) and bone conduction sound (auditory sensation) to the human body (particularly the brain).

[0027] According to the present invention, bone conducted sound can be provided simultaneously with the human body stimulation to vibration.

[0028] As shown in the accompanying drawings, the present invention is configured to include a vibration device (100), a human body stimulator (200), and a bone conduction sound generating device (300).

[0029] vibration device 1 and 2, the vibration device (100) of the present invention includes upper and lower bodies (110, 180), upper and lower brackets (120, 160), a magnetic body (130), a voice coil (132), an upper plate (134), a bobbin (140), a congee damper (150), and a connecting member (170). The vibration device (100) may also include a waterproof member or a cushioning member, although not shown in the drawings.

[0030] The configuration of the vibration device is described in detail for this embodiment using a connecting member (170) for transmitting vibrations, and a vibration probe (190) coupled to the connecting member (170) for massaging and stimulating the human body so that the vibrations generated from the vibration device (100) can be transmitted outward to massage and stimulate the skin or scalp of the human body.

[0031] That is, the vibration probe (190) is removably mounted on the vibration device (100).

[0032] The vibrating probe (190) can have a variety of shapes and sizes to suit various uses of the human body stimulator (200 in FIG. 4) described below.

[0033] The vibrating probe (190) of this embodiment includes a plate (192) to which a massage or stimulation head (not shown) is attached and detached, a shaft (194) centrally coupled to the lower surface of the plate (192), and a coupling part (196) provided at the lower end of the shaft (194) which is interconnected with the connecting member (170). The coupling part (196) is provided in the form of a bolt which is threadedly coupled to the connecting member (170).

[0034] On the other hand, the above-mentioned vibration probe (190) has a concave groove (1) formed upward on one side of the lower surface of the shaft (194) where the bolt (176) is not formed, and the vibrating body (2) is connected to the groove (1) by a connector (4) on the groove (1).

[0035] At this point, the connector (4) has a two-stage "convex" shape, and a portion of the connector (4) is inserted into the insertion groove (3) formed in the vibrating body (2) and fixed in place.

[0036] The size of the insertion groove (3) is made larger than the size of the part of the connector (4) inserted into the insertion groove.

[0037] This is shown in Figure 2a.

[0038] FIG. 2a shows another embodiment of a vibration device.

[0039] Furthermore, the vibrating body (2) is smaller than the groove (1), allowing the vibrating body to pivot around the connector (4) within the groove (1).

[0040] At this point, an elastic body (5) is provided between one surface of the groove (1) and the upper surface of the vibrating body (2), and said elastic body (5) can be seen in FIG. 2b of the accompanying drawings.

[0041] FIG. 2b is an enlarged view of the elastic body of FIG. 2a.

[0042] The elastic body (5) according to FIG. 2b of the accompanying drawings comprises a first shaft (51) having a cylindrical shape with a hollow interior and a first wing (52) and a second wing (53) extending symmetrically on both sides, the first shaft (51) having two guide grooves (54) formed along the longitudinal direction on one side and open at one end; a second shaft (55) having a cylindrical shape and having a third wing (56) and a fourth wing (57) extending symmetrically on either side; A third wing (56) and a fourth wing (57) each include an insertion groove (56a, 57a) formed adjacent to the second shaft (55) and having a certain length.

[0043] That is, the second shaft (55) is inserted into the hollow of the first shaft (51) while the third wing (56) and the fourth wing (57) are inserted into and guided by each of the guide grooves (54) of the first shaft (51).

[0044] Further, a torsion spring is inserted through the insertion grooves (56a, 57a) as shown in FIG. 2b, with one protruding end of the torsion spring being fixed in position in intimate contact with one surface of the third wing (56) and the other protruding end in the other direction being fixed in position in intimate contact with one surface of the second wing (53).

[0045] Thus, the aforementioned elastic body (50) can be operated to be folded to an extent that the third wing (56) and the fourth wing (57) can move out of the guide groove (54), while having an "X" shape due to the elastic force of the torsion spring.

[0046] In this configuration, the shaft (194) of the vibration probe (190) according to the present invention has the effect of increasing the intensity of the vibration mode due to the vibrating body (2) and reducing the effect of the vibration applied to the probe itself even when the vibration intensity due to the elastic body (5) increases.

[0047] At this point, the vibrating body (2) includes an inclined surface on its underside that is inclined in a predetermined direction, as shown in Figure 2a of the attached drawings, thus allowing the vibrating body (2) to pivot without being influenced by the upper surface of the connecting member (170) that corresponds to the lower surface of the groove (1). The embodiment of this underside can have a wedge or cone shape different from that shown in the attached drawings.

[0048] Specifically, the lower body (110) includes a cylindrical shape with an open top, forming a space in which the magnetic body (130) is installed. The magnetic body (130) is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the internal space of the lower body (110). Furthermore, the lower bracket (120) is an insert attached to the outside of the magnetic body (130) in the internal space of the lower body (110). For this purpose, the lower body (110) includes a fixing groove (112) formed on the bottom surface in which the magnetic body (130) is fixedly installed, a ring-shaped separation groove (114) provided to be spaced a specific distance from the outer circumferential surface of the magnetic body (130) fixed in the fixing groove (112), and a ring-shaped mounting groove (116) in which the lower bracket (120) is mounted to be spaced a specific distance from the magnetic body (130). The separation groove (114) is provided to form a magnetic path created by the magnetic body (130) and the voice coil (132).

[0049] The upper body (180) includes a cylindrical shape with an open bottom, and covers the open top of the lower body (110). The upper body (180) is coupled to the lower body (110) to form a space for accommodating the components (120-160) therein. The upper surface (182) of the upper body (180) is formed with an insertion hole (184) through which the shaft (194) of the connection member (170) and the vibration probe (190) are inserted and pass through the center, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes (186) provided outside the insertion hole (184) to dissipate heat generated during vibration of the vibration device (100). Furthermore, the upper surface (182) of the upper body (180) may further include a waterproofing member (not shown), such as silicone, for waterproofing the insertion hole (184) through which the vibration probe (190) is inserted. The upper body (180) and the lower body (110) are made of aluminum to enhance the heat dissipation effect.

[0050] The lower bracket (120) includes a cylindrical shape with an open top and bottom. The lower bracket (120) is mounted in the mounting groove (116) of the lower body (110), and its upper surface is coupled with the congee damper (170). For this purpose, the lower bracket (120) includes a plurality of coupling protrusions (122) on its upper surface. A bobbin (140) having a voice coil (132) mounted thereon is mounted inside the lower bracket (120). A portion of the lower bracket (120) protrudes to the upper portion of the lower body (110). The coupling protrusions (122) of the lower bracket (120) may be further fixed by using a silicone washer or the like to ensure durability and maintain vibration force when coupled with the damper (158) of the congee damper (150). The silicone washer may be selectively used to adjust the height of the congee damper (150) according to frequency characteristics, thereby performing the function of maintaining efficient amplitude.

[0051] The upper bracket (160) includes a plate shape housed within the upper body (180), and its edge is coupled to the upper part of the lower bracket (120). The lower surface of the edge of the upper bracket (160) includes a plurality of coupling protrusions (162) for coupling the congee damper (150) and the lower bracket (120).

[0052] The upper surface of the upper bracket (160) includes a substantially circular shape and faces the lower bracket (120). The upper surface of the upper bracket (160) is formed with an insertion hole (164) through which the connection member (170) is inserted so as to pass through the center, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes (166) provided on the outside of the insertion hole (164) to dissipate heat generated during vibration of the vibration device (100). These insertion holes (184, 164) of the upper body (180) and the upper bracket (160) fix the connection member (170) and the vibration probe (190) to the center of the vibration device (100). In addition, a buffer member (not shown), such as a leaf spring, may be further provided between the upper surface of the upper bracket (160) and the upper body (180) to prevent unnecessary vibration transmission.

[0053] The magnetic body 130 is fixedly mounted in the fixed groove 112 of the lower body 110 and interacts with the voice coil 132 to generate a magnetic field. The magnetic body 130 is implemented as a permanent magnet made of a ferromagnetic material, such as a neodymium magnet. The upper plate 134 is attached to the upper surface of the magnetic body 130.

[0054] The voice coil (132) is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the bobbin (140) above the magnetic body (130). The voice coil (132) is guided by the bobbin (140) so as to be stably attached. The voice coil (132) receives electrical power and interacts with the magnetic body (130) to generate a magnetic field. The magnetic body (130) and the voice coil (132) are mounted inside the lower bracket (120).

[0055] The upper plate 134 has a shape generally similar to the upper surface of the magnetic body 130, is attached to the upper portion of the magnetic body 130, and is disposed adjacent to the lower surface of the bobbin 140. The upper plate 134 guides the magnetic force of the magnetic body 130 to concentrate on the voice coil 132 to prevent loss of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic body 130. The upper plate 134 may be applied with a magnetic fluid (not shown) on its outer periphery to form a magnetic field.

[0056] The bobbin (140) is provided as a non-magnetic material, such as aluminum. The bobbin (140) is attached to the inside of the lower bracket (120). The bobbin (140) guides the voice coil (132) so that it is stably attached on its outside and prevents the voice coil (132) from coming off. The bobbin (140) is connected to the connecting member (170) at the center of its upper surface. For this purpose, the bobbin (140) includes a cylindrical shape with open upper and lower sides, the upper surface (142) being larger than the radius of the side surface, and the lower side having a lower surface (148) extending outward and facing the upper surface (142). The voice coil (132) is attached to the side of the bobbin (140). At this point, the voice coil (132) is guided by the upper surface (142) and the lower surface (148) of the bobbin (140).

[0057] Furthermore, the upper surface (142) of the bobbin (140) is formed with a coupling hole (144) for coupling with the lower end of the connecting member (170) at the center, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes (146) provided on the outside of the coupling hole (144) for dissipating heat generated when the vibration device (100) vibrates. These heat dissipation holes (146) function to reduce noise caused by the generation of vibration as well as the heat dissipation effect. Furthermore, the bobbin (140) dissipates heat generated from the voice coil (132).

[0058] In the bobbin (140), the magnetic material (130) is fixed in place in the fixing groove (112) of the lower body (110) and positioned on the inner circumference of the lower surface (148) of the bobbin (140), creating an efficient magnetic field, whereby when the voice coil (132) wound around the bobbin (140) is magnetized, it generates mutual attractive and repulsive forces, generating a stable vibration force. Furthermore, with respect to the bobbin (140), since the vibration probe (190) is coupled through the connecting member (170), even if physical eccentricity occurs when the human body is stimulated by the vibration probe (190), the strong magnetic path created by the coupling of the magnetic material (130) and the upper plate (134) functions to compensate for the eccentricity of the bobbin (140).

[0059] The congee damper (150) is installed on the upper surface (142) of the bobbin (140) and generates vertical vibrations using a magnetic field generated by the interaction between the magnetic material (130) and the voice coil (132). That is, the congee damper (150) generates vibrations by acting like a speaker for the sound of a sound source, and the vibrations from the sound source vibrate the air. The congee damper (150) is coupled to the upper and lower brackets (120, 160) at its edges. For this purpose, the congee damper (150) includes a congee plate (152) and a plurality of dampers (158).

[0060] The congee plate (152) is formed with a central coupling hole (154) for coupling with the lower end of the connecting member (170), and a plurality of heat dissipation holes (156) are formed outside the coupling hole (154). Each of the dampers (158) includes a radially elongated curved strip shape on the congee plate (152) to maximize the vibration force of the congee damper (150), and a coupling hole (159) is formed at the end for screw coupling. The dampers (158) are screwed and fixed in place between the coupling protrusion (162) of the upper bracket (160) and the coupling protrusion (122) of the lower bracket (120) by the coupling hole (159).

[0061] In addition, to ensure durability, the congee damper (150) is supported by elastic members such as silicone washers on the upper and lower parts of the coupling holes (159) of the damper (158) to prevent vibration damping and generate a smooth sound when vibration occurs.

[0062] Thus, the congee damper (150) generates vibration in response to changes in acoustic pressure from an externally supplied sound source. The congee damper (150) is connected to the connecting member (170) at the center and transmits vibration to an external component such as a vibration probe (190) through the connecting member (170). Since the center of the congee damper (150) has the maximum vibration amplitude, the bolt (176) of the connecting member (170) can be connected to the connecting hole (154) of the congee damper (150) to improve the vibration transmission efficiency. In this embodiment, with respect to the vibration device (100), the connecting member (170) is connected to the center of the congee damper (150) and the upper surface (142) of the bobbin (140) to increase the connection force with the connecting member (170).

[0063] Also, the connecting member (170) directly receives the vibration generated from the congee damper (150) and then transmits it outward. In this embodiment, the connecting member (170) is coupled to the shaft (194) of the vibration probe (190). In other words, the connecting member (170) includes a shaft shape, and an upper portion is coupled to the shaft (194) of the vibration probe (190), and a lower portion is coupled to the congee damper (150) and the upper surface (142) of the bobbin (140).

[0064] For this purpose, the connecting member (170) includes a shaft-shaped body (172), a coupling groove (174) in the upper part of the body (172) for coupling with the shaft (194), and a coupling bolt (176) in the lower part of the body (172) for coupling with the coupling hole (154) of the congee damper (150) and the coupling hole (144) of the bobbin (140). In this embodiment, the inside of the coupling hole (174) has a structure into which the coupling part (196) of the shaft (194) is screwed. * *

[0065] Therefore, in the vibration device (100) of the present invention, the shaft (194) of the vibration probe (190) is inserted through the center of the upper body (180) and coupled with the connecting member (170), which is inserted through the upper bracket (160) and threadedly coupled with the center of the congee damper (150) and the bobbin (140). Therefore, in the vibration device (100), when the congee damper (150) generates vertical vibration by acoustic pressure, the vibration is transmitted to the vibration probe (190) through the connecting member (170) coupled with the congee damper (170).

[0066] Another embodiment of a connecting member (170) is shown in FIG.

[0067] 3a and 3b, in this embodiment, the vibrating probe (190a) is formed with a locking groove (198) at a specific location along the outer circumferential surface of the shaft (194a). The locking groove (198) is formed, for example, on the outer circumferential surface of the portion where the shaft (194a) of the vibrating probe (190a) is inserted into the coupling groove (174) of the connecting member (170a). The locking groove (125) is formed with a locking step at the top and a guide at the bottom.

[0068] Also, the elastic fixing pin (178) inserted into the fixing groove (198) is fixedly mounted on the connecting member (170a). The elastic fixing pin (178) is fixedly coupled on the outside of the connecting member (170a), with a portion exposed to the inside of the coupling groove (174) of the connecting member (170a), and the exposed portion is seated in or separated from the fixing groove (198) of the shaft (194a).

[0069] When the shaft (194a) of the vibration probe (190a) is pushed downward and inserted into the coupling groove (174), the elastic fixing pin (178) is guided by the guide portion of the fixing groove (198) to be seated in the fixing groove (198), and the elastic fixing pin (178) is fixedly attached at the same time by the locking step. Furthermore, with respect to the connection member (170a), when the shaft (194a) is pushed upward and separated from the coupling groove (174), the elastic fixing pin (178) is easily removed from the fixing groove (178) by the guide portion of the fixing groove (198).

[0070] In this embodiment, the vibrating probe (190a) can be more easily coupled to and separated from the connecting member (170) compared to the threaded coupling structure of Figures 1 and 2, preventing damage to the coupling parts (196) of the vibrating probe (190) that may occur due to multiple coupling and decoupling of the vibrating probe (190a) with the vibrating device (100).

[0071] Thus, the vibrating probe (190, 190a) of the present invention is easy to assemble during manufacturing due to the use of connecting members (170, 170a) which are joined using threaded connections or locking grooves (198) and resilient locking pins (178).

[0072] As described above, the vibration device (100) of the present invention directly receives vibration from the center of the congee damper (150) by connecting the connection member (170, 170a) and the shaft (194, 194a) of the vibration probe (190, 190a) to the center of the congee damper (150) that generates vibration in response to changes in acoustic pressure of the sound source. Furthermore, the vibration device (100) of the present invention can improve the coupling force with the connection member by connecting the connection member (170) and the shaft (194, 194a) of the vibration probe (190, 190a) together with the congee damper (150) to the center of the upper surface (142) of the bobbin (140), thereby increasing the vibration transmission efficiency.

[0073] Furthermore, the vibration device (100) of the present invention is composed of a congee plate (152) in the shape of a leaf spring that functions to generate sound waves on the congee damper (150), and a damper (158) that transmits vibration force and acts as a spring, and since it generates vibrations stably, it is possible to improve the vibration generation efficiency.

[0074] Also, although the vibration device (100) of the present invention is described as having a structure with upper and lower bodies (110, 180) and upper and lower brackets (120, 160), in order to simplify the structure, it may be implemented without the upper body (180) and the upper bracket (160), which can improve the vibration generation efficiency and heat dissipation effect. This is because the connecting member (170) is coupled to the upper surface (142) of the congee damper (150) and the bobbin (140) to ensure a firm coupling with the vibration probe (190).

[0075] human body stimulator Referring to Figures 4 and 5, a human body stimulation device (200) of the present invention uses the vibration device (100) of Figure 1 or Figure 3 to receive vibrations generated in response to changes in acoustic pressure of a sound source and provide massage or stimulation to the human body.

[0076] Specifically, the human body stimulation device (200) includes a sound source processing unit (210), an acoustic pressure generating unit (250) equipped with a vibration device (100), a vibration probe (190) that transmits vibrations generated by the acoustic pressure generating unit (250) to the outside, and various types of vibration stimulation units (260-266) equipped for use in massage and stimulation.

[0077] The sound source processing unit (210) includes devices (not shown) for reproducing the sound source, such as a codec, an amplifier, and a speaker, and processes the sound source so that the vibration device (100) generates vibrations using the sound source. Furthermore, the sound source processing unit (210) outputs a sound wave signal corresponding to the sound source to the acoustic pressure generating unit (250).

[0078] The sound source processing unit (210) of this embodiment includes a control unit (202), input units (212, 230 to 236), an output unit (218), adjustment units (214, 216), a display unit (206), and a power supply unit (204).

[0079] The input units (212, 230-236) include a power switch (212) for supplying and cutting off power, and various interface devices for inputting sound sources to the sound source processing unit (210), such as a memory card input unit (230), a USB input unit (232), an AUX input unit (234), and a wireless communication input unit (236).

[0080] The memory card input unit (230) allows various portable storage media, such as SD cards, CF cards, memory sticks, MMC cards, and smart media, on which sound sources are stored, to be inserted to input the sound sources to the sound source processing unit (210). The USB input unit (232) connects to an external USB device, such as an MP3 player, a smartphone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a portable multimedia player (PMP), and a USB memory, to input the sound sources. The AUX input unit (234) inputs the sound sources using wired communication. Also, the wireless communication input unit (236) receives the sound sources from the outside or wireless internet, for example, using a Wi-Fi network, a Bluetooth wireless network, and the like. Thus, the sound source processing unit (210) accepts the sound sources desired or preferred by the user through various interface devices, processes the sound sources, and outputs sound wave signals.

[0081] The output unit 218 outputs the sound wave signal generated by processing the sound source to the acoustic pressure generating unit 250. The output unit 218 is connected to the acoustic pressure generating unit 250 via a connector and a connecting cable 242.

[0082] The control units (214, 216) include an intensity control unit (214) and a frequency control unit (216) implemented in the form of a button or dial knob. The intensity control unit (214) adjusts the intensity of the acoustic pressure generated from the input internal or external sound source. The frequency control unit (216) adjusts the key, i.e., frequency, of the built-in sound source.

[0083] The display unit (206) includes, for example, a light-emitting diode or a liquid crystal display panel of the sound processing unit (210), and displays the operating status of the sound processing unit (210), such as the power on / off status, the sound playback status, and the control status.

[0084] The power supply unit (204) receives AC power through the power input unit (220) and provides power (V) to the sound processing unit (210).

[0085] The control unit (202) also controls and processes all operations of the sound source processing unit (210). The control unit (202) controls the power supply from the power supply unit (204) when the power switch (212) is pressed. The control unit (202) processes the input of the sound source from the input units (230-236) and processes the output of the sound wave signal to the output unit (218). The control unit (202) processes the reproduction of the sound source in response to the adjustment of the sound pressure intensity or frequency by the intensity control unit (214) and the frequency control unit (216). Furthermore, the control unit (202) controls the display unit (206) to display the operating status of the sound source processing unit (210).

[0086] The acoustic pressure generating unit (250) is provided as a handle (240) type, and includes a vibration device (100) therein. The acoustic pressure generating unit (250) receives an acoustic signal from the output unit (218) of the sound source processing unit (210), and generates vibrations in response to the acoustic pressure fluctuations of the acoustic signal using the vibration device (100). The acoustic pressure generating unit (250) transmits vibrations based on pressure applied through direct contact with a particular part of the human body by the attached vibration probes (190, 260-266) while holding the handle (240). At this point, one of the various vibration probes (190, 260-266) is selected and coupled to the acoustic pressure generating unit (250).

[0087] The vibration probe (190) is coupled to the vibration device (100) of the acoustic pressure generating unit (250) and transmits vibrations to the vibration stimulation units (260-266).

[0088] The vibration stimulation units (260-266) are provided in various forms to enable the human body stimulation device (200) to massage or stimulate the human body for various uses. Similar to the vibration probe (190), the vibration stimulation units (260-266) are attached to or detached from the vibration device (100) of the acoustic pressure generating unit (250). The vibration stimulation units (260-266) are provided in various forms depending on the massage area, stimulation area, or purpose of use on the human body, one of which is selected and attached on the acoustic pressure generating unit (250). The vibration stimulation units (260-266) can be equipped with, for example, an acoustic wave transmission probe (260) for electrical stimulation, a vibration probe (262) for scalp massage, a vibration probe (264) for skin massage, a vibration probe (266) for hand and foot massage, etc.

[0089] Furthermore, the vibration stimulation units (260-266) may be equipped as detachable heads on the vibration probe (190). Multiple heads are equipped for use in various applications. The heads may be equipped, for example, as a head for skin massage, a head for scalp massage, and a head for hand and foot massage. The heads may be made of various materials such as silicone material, wood material, plastic material, metal material, etc. Each of these heads is mounted on the vibration probe (190) and transmits the vibrations generated by the vibration device (100) to the human body to massage the skin, scalp, or hands and feet.

[0090] Therefore, the vibration probe (190) and the vibration stimulation unit (260-266) are respectively coupled to the connecting members (170, 170a) of FIG. 1 or FIG. 3, and receive vibrations from the congee damper (150) through the connecting members (170, 170a) to provide massage and stimulation to the human body.

[0091] Thus, the human body stimulator (200) of the present invention stimulates the skin or scalp of the human body through various probes (190, 260-266) that receive vibrations from a congeal damper (150) that generates vibrations using a sound source.

[0092] Bone conduction sound generator The bone conduction sound generating device (300) according to Figure 6 of the accompanying drawings functions to generate bone conduction sound based on a light source so that the system according to the present invention can provide bone conduction sound to the human body through the transducer (400) together with vibrations using acoustic pressure from the human body stimulation device (200) described above.

[0093] For this purpose, according to FIG. 6 of the accompanying drawings, a bone conduction sound generating device (300) includes a laser diode (310) providing a light source having a frequency of 100 kHz, an optical pulse transmitter (320) including a first pulse generator (321) generating pulses for frequency control of the light source and a second pulse generator (322) generating modulation pulses for pulse frequency modulation, and a laser driver (330) that amplitude-modulates the frequency of the light source provided by the laser diode (310) to an audio frequency using pulses from the optical pulse transmitter (320).

[0094] At this point, the frequency range of the amplitude modulated signal can be 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 5 kHz, and 10 kHz.

[0095] The laser driver (330) transmits an amplitude modulated audio frequency to the transducer (400) such that the audio frequency is delivered to the wearer's body as bone-conducted sound.

[0096] As described above, the configuration and operation of the vibration device and the human body stimulation device including the vibration device according to the present invention are illustrated based on the detailed description and drawings, but these are merely examples, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
