Description

Technical Field

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

Background Art

[0002] The prostate and urinary tract of the human body are located in the perineum, which is in the middle position between the anus and the genitals. It is known that when appropriate vibration or pressure is applied to the perineum for massage, it can prevent the decline of the functions of the prostate and urinary tract and the occurrence of diseases. An example of a general prostate massager is described in Patent Document 1: Republic of Korea Patent Registration No. 10-1525585.

[0003] Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the prostate massager 100 is configured such that a bottom frame 50 and an intermediate frame 60 are formed on both sides to be supported on the bottom surface of the room, and are connected by vertical shafts 40 and 41 to an upper handle bar 70 to form an integral body.

[0004] Between the intermediate frames 60, a part of a circular wheel 12 of a rotator 10 with a diameter in the range of 20 to 30 cm protrudes outside the horizontal plane of the chair board 30, and the protruding wheel part is configured to be rotated by the weight.

[0005] Also, rails 61 are formed at the upper ends of the intermediate frames 60 on both sides. A chair board 30 horizontally installed between the intermediate frames 60 and the upper handle bar 70 has a hole 31 in the form of an oval hole with a major axis in the range of 15 to 30 cm formed at the center. A wheel protrusion of the rotator 10 supported by the intermediate frame 60 protrudes 1 to 3 cm above the horizontal plane of the chair board 30 in the hole 31. Rail holders 32 are fixed to both bottom portions of the chair board 30, and the rail holders 32 on both sides are configured to surround the rails 61 formed at the upper ends of the intermediate frames 60.

[0006] The above structure allows the user to sit on the chair board 30, hold the upper handle bar 70, and reciprocate the chair board 30 back and forth, so that the wheel protrusion of the rotator 10 presses the perineum between the anus and the genitals of the human body to act as a massage.

[0007] Also, a rail 61 is installed at the upper central part of the intermediate frame 60, and the rail holder 32 of the chair board 30 is configured to surround the rail 61 so that the rail does not come off. On both sides of the bottom surface of the chair board 30, screw connectors 33 in the form of concave grooves for fixing the bottom rail holder 32 to the chair board 30 are formed.

[0008] On the other hand, the rotator 10 is linked to a fixing shaft 22 connected to the bottom surface fixing plate 23 and a U-shaped support 21 in which a receiving groove 21a for accommodating the fixing shaft 22 is formed, thereby forming a shock buffer portion. An elastic spring 24 is built into the fixing shaft 22 connected to the bottom surface fixing plate 23 to form a structure that is compressed by the lower end of the U-shaped support 21, and the upper end portion 22a of the fixing shaft is positioned in a cylindrical form inside the receiving groove 21a formed in the central portion of the U-shaped support 21. When the user sits on the chair board 30 and reciprocates back and forth while pressing the protrusion of the rotator 10, the rotator 10 is pushed downward by about 2 to 10 mm and then returns to its original position by elasticity.

[0009] The rotator 10 can be composed of a circular wheel 12 made of a metal material such as copper with high thermal conductivity, and a hot water inlet 14 and a rubber cap 15 can be formed on one side of the circular wheel 12.

[0010] The conventional prostate massager 100 configured as described above has the disadvantage of inconvenient use because the user has to sit on the chair board 30 and reciprocate the chair board 30 along the rail by himself. Also, since the elastic load of the rotator 10 that performs the massage action is only due to the action of the elastic spring 24, the massage compression strength is constant regardless of the position of the chair board 30, and there are structural problems such as a decrease in the touch and efficiency of the massage.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0012] The present invention was devised to improve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a prostate massager that can embody a massage with a simple structure while varying the compression strength. Another object of the present invention is to provide a prostate massager that is small in size, easy to use, and can easily adjust the height of the massage contact part.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0013] To achieve the above object, the prostate massager of the present invention includes a base member, a support plate that is folded at a right angle and spaced apart from the base member at a certain distance and is configured parallel to the base member, a plate-shaped first member configured to stand on one side surface of the base member, a second member having one end rotatably coupled to the support plate and the other end rotatably coupled to a massage roller, a rod-shaped third member having one end rotatably coupled to an intermediate portion of the second member and the other end eccentrically coupled to a disc that rotates by a drive motor, an elastic spring elastically supported between the base member and the support plate of the first member, height adjusting means configured to adjust the distance between the base member and the end of the support plate, and an upper plate cover having a slit groove formed so that a part of the outer peripheral surface of the massage roller is exposed and movable. Further, the fixing part of the base member and the first member is rotatably coupled.

Effects of the Invention

[0014] The prostate massager of the present invention includes a base member, a support plate that is bent at a right angle and spaced apart from the base member at a certain distance, and is configured parallel to the base member. A plate-shaped first member is configured to stand on one side surface of the base member. A second member has one end rotatably coupled to the support plate and a massage roller rotatably coupled to the other end.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] The prostate massager 200 of the present invention includes a base member 210, a support plate 221 that is bent at a right angle and spaced apart from the base member by a certain distance and is configured to be parallel to the base member, a plate-shaped first member 220 configured to stand on one side surface of the base member, a second member 230 having one end rotatably coupled to the support plate and the other end rotatably coupled to a massage roller 240, a rod-shaped third member 250 having one end rotatably coupled to an intermediate portion of the second member 230 and the other end eccentrically coupled to a disk 270 rotated by a drive motor 260, an elastic spring 222 elastically supported between the base member and the support plate of the first member, a height adjusting means 280 configured to adjust the distance between the base member and the end of the support plate, and an upper plate cover 290 having a slit groove 291 formed such that a part of the outer peripheral surface of the massage roller is exposed and movable.

[0018] Hereinafter, the technical configuration and operation effects of the prostate massager 200 of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 8. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the prostate massager 200 of the present invention includes a base member 210, a plate-shaped first member 220 configured to stand on one upper side surface of the base member, a second member 230 having one end rotatably coupled to the first member and the other end rotatably coupled to a massage roller 240, a rod-shaped third member 250 having one end rotatably coupled to an intermediate portion of the second member and the other end eccentrically coupled to a disk 270 rotated by a drive motor 260, a height adjusting means 280 for adjusting the height of the second member 230, and an upper plate cover 290 having a slit groove 291 formed such that a part of the outer peripheral surface of the massage roller 240 is exposed and movable.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 6, the plate-shaped first member 220 includes a support plate 221 that is bent at a right angle and spaced apart from the base member 210 by a certain distance and is configured to be parallel to the base member, and is configured to be plate-shaped so as to stand on one upper side surface of the base member.

[0020] An elastic spring 222 is sandwiched between the base member 210 and the support plate 221 of the first member, and acts to reinforce the elastic force of the support plate when a load is applied downward from the upper part of the support plate 221 of the first member. The fixing part of the base member 210 and the first member 220 is configured such that the first member is movable via a fixing shaft 211.

[0021] Also, one end of the second member 230 is rotatably coupled to the end of the support plate 221 of the first member via a fixing shaft 231, and the other end is rotatably coupled to a massage roller via a fixing shaft 232. One end of the third member 250 is rotatably coupled to an intermediate part of the second member 230 via a fixing shaft 251, and the other end is eccentrically coupled to a disk 270 that rotates by a drive motor 260 via a fixing shaft 252.

[0022] On the other hand, a height adjusting means 280 is configured to adjust the distance between the base member 210 and the end of the support plate 221.

[0023] When a user's body load is applied downward through the support plate 221, that is, the massage roller 240 and the second member 230, the height adjusting means 280 serves as a stopper and, if necessary, widens the distance between the base member 210 and the support plate 221 to lift the second member 230, thereby adjusting the degree of exposure of the massage roller 240.

[0024] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the height adjusting means 280 includes an eccentric cam 266 that rotates by driving a motor 265, and an operating pin 267 that moves up and down by the rotation of the eccentric cam. A spring 268 is inserted inside the operating pin 267 and is configured such that the end of the spring protrudes outside the operating pin, so that it can serve as a cushion when the upper end of the operating pin 267 contacts the support plate 221.

[0025] When the height adjustment means 280 is in the state before driving, that is, in the state where height adjustment is not required, as shown in FIG. 7, the driving rotation angle of the motor is controlled so that the lower end of the operating pin 267 contacts the closest outer peripheral surface portion of the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric cam 266 with reference to the fixed shaft 269 of the motor.

[0026] On the contrary, when the height adjustment means 280 is driven, that is, when height adjustment is required, as shown in FIG. 8, the driving rotation angle of the motor is controlled so that the lower end of the operating pin 267 contacts the farthest outer peripheral surface portion of the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric cam 266 with reference to the fixed shaft 269 of the motor. Therefore, it is preferable to use an encoder motor or the like in which the motor 265 of the height adjustment means can be controlled to rotate forward and backward and the rotation angle of the fixed shaft can be controlled.

[0027] Of course, when the height adjustment means 280 of the present invention continuously rotates the eccentric cam 266, the operating pin 267 can also press the support plate 221 in a certain pattern to give a vibration effect to the massage roller 240.

[0028] When the prostate massager 200 of the present invention configured as described above rotates the disc 270 to pull the third member 250 as shown in FIG. 6, the second member 230 tilts to the right with reference to the fixed shaft 231, and the massage roller 240 is moved in the slit groove 291 region. On the contrary, when the disc 270 is rotated to push the third member 250, the second member 230 tilts to the left with reference to the fixed shaft 231, and the massage roller 240 is moved in the slit groove 291 region.

[0029] Looking at the reciprocating movement path of the massage roller 240, it has an arc shape, so the exposed height of the roller is large at the center and becomes smaller toward both side ends. Therefore, there is an advantage that the compression strength in contact with the skin of the user of the prostate massager 200 varies depending on the position of the massage roller 240.

[0030] The prostate massager 200 of the present invention described above is not limited to the illustrated drawing structures and description contents, and can be variously modified and implemented within the scope of the claims and the purpose of the invention.
