Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a prostate massager, and more particularly to a massager that can improve massage efficiency to promote blood flow between the anus and genitals of the human body, thereby preventing prostate diseases in men and urinary incontinence diseases in women. [Background technology]

[0002] The prostate and urinary tract of the human body are located in the perineum, halfway between the anus and the genitals. It is known that massaging the perineum with appropriate vibration and pressure can prevent the decline in function of the prostate and urinary tract and the occurrence of diseases. An example of a common prostate massager is described in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1525585.

[0003] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the conventional prostate massager 100 is configured with a bottom frame 50 and a middle frame 60 on both sides so as to be supported on the floor of the room, and is integrally configured by connecting the frames to a round rod handle 70 at the top with vertical shafts 40 and 41.

[0004] Between the intermediate frames 60, a part of the circular wheel 12 of the rotating body 10, which has a diameter of 20 to 30 cm, protrudes outside the horizontal plane of the chair board 30, and the protruding wheel part is configured so that it can be rotated by the body weight.

[0005] In addition, rails 61 are formed on the upper ends of the middle frames 60 on both sides, and the chair board 30, which is installed horizontally between the middle frames 60 and the upper round handle 70, has a long axis hole 31 formed in the center, measuring 15 to 30 cm. The wheel protrusion of the rotating body 10 supported by the middle frames 60 protrudes 1 to 3 cm above the horizontal plane of the chair board 30 into the hole 31. Rail holders 32 are fixed to the bottom on both sides of the chair board 30, and the rail holders 32 on both sides are structured to encase the rails 61 formed on the upper ends of the middle frames 60.

[0006] The structure described above allows a user to sit on the chair board 30, grasp the round handle 70 at the top, and move the chair board 30 back and forth, so that the wheel protrusion of the rotating body 10 presses and massages the perineum between the anus and genitals of the human body.

[0007] In addition, the intermediate frame 60 has a rail 61 installed in the upper center, and the rail holder 32 of the chair plate 30 encloses the rail 61 so that the rail holder 32 does not come off the rail 61. On both sides of the bottom surface of the chair plate 30, groove-shaped screw fasteners 33 are formed to fix the bottom rail holder 32 to the chair plate 30.

[0008] Meanwhile, the rotating body 10 is connected to the fixed shaft 22 connected to the bottom fixing plate 23 and the U-shaped support 21 having a receiving groove 21a for receiving the fixed shaft 22, thereby forming a shock absorbing part. The fixed shaft 22 connected to the bottom fixing plate 23 has an elastic spring 24 built in it, so that it is compressed by the lower end of the U-shaped support 21, and the upper end 22a of the fixed shaft is positioned in the shape of a cylinder inside the receiving groove 21a formed in the center of the U-shaped support 21. When a user sits on the chair board 30 and moves back and forth while pressing the protruding part of the rotating body 10, the rotating body 10 is pushed downward by about 2 to 10 mm and then returns to its original position by elasticity.

[0009] The rotating body 10 may have a circular wheel 12 made of a metal material such as copper having high thermal conductivity, and a hot water inlet 14 and a rubber cap (15) may be formed on one side of the circular wheel 12.

[0010] The conventional prostate massager 100 constructed as above has a drawback in that it is inconvenient to use since the user must sit on the chair plate 30 and move the chair plate 30 back and forth along the rails.

[0011] In addition, since the elastic load of the rotating body 10 which performs the massaging action is performed only by the action of the elastic spring 24, the pressure strength of the massage is constant regardless of the position of the chair board 30, which causes a structural problem of inferior feel and efficiency of the massage.

[0012] [Patent Document 1] Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1525585 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0013] The present invention has been devised to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a prostate massager that can implement massage while varying the compression strength with a simple structure. Another object of the present invention is to provide a prostate massager in which the massage pressure strength can be adjusted by the user. It is another object of the present invention to provide a prostate massager having improved tactile quality of the massage roller contact areas. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] In order to achieve the above object, the prostate massager of the present invention comprises a base body, a rail support part formed on the base body, a rail supported on the rail support part at an inclination so that one end of the rail can rotate via a fixed shaft, a massage mass that moves along the rail, an arm having one end linked to the massage mass, an arm driving member linked to the other end of the arm to move the arm forward and backward, and an upper plate cover having a linear groove formed therein so that a part of the massage mass is exposed,

[0015] The massage mass comprises a movable mass to which one end of the arm is linked, a shock absorbing bar erected on the movable mass, and a massage roller connected to the upper end of the shock absorbing bar so as to be rotatable, and a portion of the circumferential surface of the massage roller is exposed outside a linear groove formed in the upper plate cover. The rail may further include a first elastic member coupled to the fixed shaft and elastically supported on one end of the rail to lift up the other end of the rail. Also, a rail support mass is provided on the base body, which is configured to selectively elastically support or selectively support the other end of the rail.

[0016] The rail support mass is characterized by including a cylindrical chamber that selectively supports the other end of the rail, a second elastic member that is attached to the inside of the cylindrical chamber and selectively elastically supports the other end of the rail, a slit-shaped groove formed at the lower end of the chamber, a slide plate configured to be able to advance and retreat into the slit-shaped groove via a drive motor, and an upper end of the second elastic member that protrudes upward from the cylindrical chamber or retracts toward the inside of the cylindrical chamber as the slide plate advances and retreats. Effect of the Invention

[0017] The present invention includes a base body, a rail support part formed on the base body, a rail supported at an inclination such that one end of the rail can rotate on the rail support part via a fixed shaft, a first elastic member elastically supported on one end of the rail so as to be connected to the fixed shaft and lift the other end of the rail, a massage mass that moves along the rail, an arm having one end linked to the massage mass, an arm driving member linked to the other end of the arm to move the arm forward and backward, an upper plate cover having a linear groove formed so that a part of the massage mass is exposed, and a rail support part that is configured to selectively elastically support the other end of the rail on the base body or selectively support the other end of the rail,

[0018] The massage mass comprises a movable mass to which one end of the arm is linked, a shock absorbing bar erected on the movable mass, and a massage roller connected to the upper end of the shock absorbing bar so as to be rotatable. By configuring the prostate massager having a structure in which a part of the circumferential surface of the massage roller is exposed to the outside of the linear groove formed on the upper plate cover, it is possible to obtain an effect of performing a massage while varying the compression strength according to the position of the massage roller.

[0019] In addition, by using the rail support mass to selectively support the rail elastically, the user can appropriately adjust the pressure intensity of the massage.

[0020] In addition, since the massage mass moves along the rail while the elastic member consisting of a tension spring elastically supports one end of the rail so as to tilt, it is possible to obtain the effect that the pressure strength of the massage roller changes depending on the position of the rail.

[0021] In other words, even if the elastic forces of the tension spring and the spring configured as the shock absorbing bar interact with each other, the compression strength of the massage roller is relatively small on the upper side of the rail and relatively large on the lower side of the rail due to the principle of leverage, thereby obtaining the effect of improving the tactile strength and quality of the body contact portion of the massage roller.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The prostate massager 200 of the present invention comprises a base body 210, a rail support part 230 formed on the base body, a rail 220 supported at an inclination such that one end of the rail support part can rotate via a fixed shaft 231, a massage mass 240 moving along the rail, an arm 250 having one end linked to the massage mass, an arm driving motor 260 linked to the other end of the arm to move the arm forward and backward, and an upper plate cover 270 having a linear groove 271 formed therein so that a part of the massage mass is exposed, and the massage mass 240 comprises a moving mass 241 to which one end of the arm is linked, a shock absorbing rod 242 erected on the moving mass, and a massage roller 243 connected to the upper end of the shock absorbing rod and configured to be rotatable, and a part of the circumferential surface of the massage roller 243 is configured to protrude outside the linear groove 271 formed on the upper plate cover 270 and be exposed. MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THEINVENTION The technical configuration and the effects of the prostate massager 200 of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to Figs.

[0024] As shown in Figs. 3 and 6, the prostate massager 200 of the present invention comprises a base body 210, a rail 220, a rail support part 230, a massage mass 240, an arm 250, an arm driving motor 260 constituting an arm driving member, an upper plate cover 270, and a rail support mass 280.

[0025] The prostate massager 200 of the present invention is, for example, configured as a hexahedron having dimensions of 400 mm wide, 300 mm long, and 100 mm high, and is configured so that all sides are covered with covers, but for ease of explanation, the prostate massager 200 will be described with reference to the drawings showing a structure with open sides.

[0026] Rail support parts 230 are fixed to both sides of the bottom of base body 210, and one end of rail 220 is fixed to each rail support part 230 with fixed shaft 231 interposed therebetween so as to be inclined. An elastic member (tension spring: 233) that is elastically supported by one end of rail 220 is connected to fixed shaft 231 so as to lift the other end of rail 220 as shown in Fig. 7. An elastic force is generated by the action of tension spring 233 such that the other end of rail 220 rotates upward with fixed shaft 231 as a reference.

[0027] 6, the massage mass 240 is composed of a moving mass 241, a shock absorbing bar 242 erected on the moving mass, a massage roller 243 connected to the upper end of the shock absorbing bar so as to be rotatable, and a first elastic member 245 sandwiched between the shock absorbing bar and the moving mass 241. The shock absorbing bar 242 is configured such that its upper end is bent at about 30 to 40 degrees for stable driving of the massage roller. The shock absorbing bar 242 can be configured using a known shock absorber, and the massage roller 243 can be configured from a material including a silicone material.

[0028] The moving mass 241 constituting the massage mass 240 moves along a rail 220 as shown in FIG. 8, and can move smoothly without friction due to the bearings 221 arranged on the rail 220.

[0029] In addition, the moving mass 241 is linked and fixed to one end of an arm 250, and the other end of the arm 250 is fixed to an eccentric cam 255. The eccentric cam 255 is configured to be rotatable by an arm drive motor 260, and the arm 250 can be moved forward and backward by the rotation of the eccentric cam 255. The eccentric cam 255 can be configured to be rotatable by interposing a gear or the like (not shown) between the eccentric cam 255 and the arm drive motor 260.

[0030] Meanwhile, on the base body 210, as shown in Figs. 1, 6, 9, 10, and 11, a rail support block 280 is configured to selectively elastically support or selectively support the other end of the rail 220. The rail support block 280 includes a cylindrical chamber 281 that selectively supports the other end of the rail, a second elastic member 291 that is mounted inside the cylindrical chamber and selectively elastically supports the other end of the rail, and a slit-shaped groove 282 that is formed at the lower end of the chamber. The second elastic member 291 is mounted in the chamber. Therefore, the second elastic member 291 can rise from inside the chamber to the upper side of the chamber 281 by being pushed by a slide plate 290 that is inclined so as to move toward and away from the slit-shaped groove 282 as shown in Fig. 9, and when the slide plate 290 is removed from the slit-shaped groove 282 as shown in Fig. 10, the second elastic member 291 retreats into the chamber 281.

[0031] The slide plate 290 advances and retreats toward the slit-shaped groove 282 formed in the chamber 281 by utilizing a cam 287 driven by a motor 286 and an arm 288 eccentrically fixed to the cam.

[0032] By configuring the rail support mass 280 as described above, when the user wants to increase the compression strength of the massage mass 240, the second elastic member 291 is protruded as shown in Figures 1 and 9 to elastically support the rail 220 from below.

[0033] On the other hand, when it is desired to weaken the compression strength of the massage mass 240, the second elastic member 291 is retracted into the chamber 281 as shown in Figures 10 and 11 so that the rail 220 and the second elastic member 291 do not come into contact with each other. When the second elastic member 291 is retracted into the chamber 281, the compression strength of the massage mass 240 is relatively weak, but the rail 220 only descends to the position where it comes into contact with the cylindrical chamber 281 and is stopped.

[0034] Meanwhile, the upper plate cover 270 is formed with a linear groove 271 through which a part of the circumferential surface of the massage roller 243 constituting the massage mass is protruded and exposed. The circumferential surface portion of the massage roller 243 protruded and exposed in the linear groove 271 rotates when it comes into contact with the user's body to stimulate the perineum of the user. The height of the massage roller 243 protruded and exposed in the linear groove 271 can be appropriately regulated by using a separate stopper (not shown) formed on the upper plate cover 270 or the lower surface of the upper plate cover 270.

[0035] In the prostate massager 200 of the present invention constructed as above, when a user sits on the upper cover 270, the massage rollers 243 exposed through the linear grooves 271 of the upper cover 270 in a state where the massage rollers 243 are positioned on the upper side as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, are repeatedly moved downward by the driving motor 260 of the arm, and massage the perineum of the user while pressing the perineum.

[0036] In particular, in the present invention, even if the elastic force of the tension spring 233 and the first elastic member 245 formed on the shock absorbing bar 242 interact with each other, the tension spring 233 elastically supports one end of the rail 220 at an angle, and the massage mass 240 moves along the rail. Therefore, due to the principle of leverage, the compression strength of the massage roller 243 acts relatively small on the upper side of the rail 220 and relatively large on the lower side of the rail 220, thereby improving the strength and quality of the touch of the roller's body contact part during the movement and rotation of the roller.

[0037] In addition, since the rail 220 can be selectively elastically supported by using the rail support mass 280, the pressure strength of the massage can be appropriately adjusted according to the user's preference during the massage process. In order to further improve the massage function, a vibration device (not shown) may be additionally configured in the moving mass 241 .

[0038] The prostate massager 200 of the present invention described above is not limited to the illustrated structure and description, but may be modified in various ways within the scope of the claims and the purpose of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]
