Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a massage device, and more particularly to a massage device having a rotatable arm massage unit for massaging the arm of a user, thereby providing various functions to the user. [Background technology]

[0002] Massage is a medical auxiliary therapy that adjusts the subject's physical condition, aids blood circulation, and relieves fatigue by applying various forms of mechanical stimulation to a part of the subject's body, such as kneading, pushing, pulling, tapping, or moving the part.

[0003] The increase in the demand for massage has led to an increase in the demand for massage devices or massage equipment that provide an artificial massage function due to economic and time reasons. That is, with the increase in the demand to relieve fatigue or stress while relieving stiff muscles through massage, various massage devices that are time- and cost-efficient are available on the market.

[0004] In recent years, as people have become more and more concerned about their health, massage devices have evolved from simply providing a massage function to electronic devices that provide a variety of additional and / or medical functions, which has led to ongoing research into methods for efficiently controlling massage devices.

[0005] In particular, since the parts of the body that each user desires to receive massage and the stimulations that each user desires may differ, there is an increasing demand from users for devices and methods that provide massages in a form that is optimized for each user.

[0006] As one example, Patent Document 1: JP 2015-027424 A discloses a massage device that includes an arm massage section. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT EMBODIMENT An object of the present invention is to provide a massage device that includes a rotatable arm massage unit and can provide a variety of functions to a user.

[0009] SUMMARY OF THE PRESENTLY PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An object of the present invention is to provide a massage device that can simplify the structure for rotationally driving an arm massage unit and minimize the space occupied by the structure.

[0010] However, the problems that the present invention aims to solve are not limited to the problems mentioned above, but include problems that can be easily understood by a person with ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs from this specification and the attached drawings. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the massage device of the present invention has a main frame that forms the skeleton of the massage device and includes a body massage unit that massages the user's body, arm massage units that are arranged on both sides of the body massage unit to accommodate both arms of the user and are installed on the body massage unit so as to rotate around a rotation axis, and a rotation module that rotates the arm massage unit, wherein the rotation module includes an arm rotation actuator having an extendable rod whose one end is connected to the main frame and which extends or contracts in one direction, and a motion switching member that is connected to the other end of the arm rotation actuator and the arm massage unit to switch the linear motion of the extendable rod into rotational motion of the arm massage unit. Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the present invention, a massage device including a rotatable arm massage unit can be provided, which can provide a variety of functions to a user.

[0013] In addition, the massage device of the present invention can provide various massages and stretching to the user's arms and shoulders by rotating the arm massage unit up and down. For example, the massage device can perform stretching or other medical treatments by rotating or stretching the user's arms in a specific direction by rotating the arm massage unit.

[0014] In addition, the massage device of the present invention can rotate the arm massage part up and down to provide convenience when the user sits on or leaves the massage device.

[0015] In particular, in the massage device of the present invention, the linear motion of the telescopic rod of the arm rotation actuator is switched to rotational motion by the motion switching member while the arm rotation actuator is fixed, and the motion is transmitted to the arm massage part, thereby rotating the arm massage part. Through this, the massage device of the present invention rotates the arm massage part in a much smoother and more stable manner than when the arm massage part is rotated only by the linear or rotational motion of the driving device, and hardly any noise or vibration is generated during the rotational motion. In addition, the problems of unnecessary consumption of driving force and increased power consumption can be solved.

[0016] In addition, in the massage device of the present invention, when the telescopic rod of the arm rotation actuator is operated, the arm rotation actuator does not swing sideways but remains completely fixed, thereby reducing the installation space for the arm rotation actuator, and eliminating interference between the arm rotation actuator and other components, thereby preventing noise and vibration, preventing breakdowns, and improving durability.

[0017] However, the effects of the present invention are not limited to the effects described above, but include effects that can be easily understood by a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains from this specification and the accompanying drawings.

[0104] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A massage device 1000 including a rotatable arm massage unit according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0105] 5 to 10 show a massage device 1000 including a rotatable arm massage portion according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0106] The massage unit 1000 may be configured such that at least one arm massage unit 1200 can rotate in at least one direction relative to the body massage unit 1100. For example, the arm massage unit 1200 may include first and second arm massage units 1201 and 1202 (see FIG. 1) disposed on both sides of the body massage unit 1100. The first and second arm massage units 1201 and 1202 may be configured to rotate independently up and down and / or left and right relative to the body massage unit 1100.

[0107] 5 and 6, a massage device 1000 according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a main frame 1130 that forms the skeleton of the massage device 100, and includes a body massage unit 1100 that massages the user's body, and arm massage units 1200 that are arranged on both sides of the body massage unit 1100 to accommodate both arms of the user and massage the user's arms.

[0108] As previously mentioned, the body massager 1100 can be a means for providing a massage to at least a portion of a user's body.

[0109] For example, the body massage portion 1100 may be formed with a space for accommodating at least a portion of the user's body.

[0110] In one embodiment, the accommodation space of the body massage unit 1100 may be a space for a user to sit in. That is, the user can sit in the space formed in the body massage unit 1100, and the user can receive a massage while sitting.

[0111] The main frame 1130 can be a means disposed inside the body massage part 1100 to form the framework of the body massage part 1100 .

[0112] As an optional embodiment, the body massage unit 1100 may include a cover that covers the massage module 1700 disposed therein so as not to be exposed to the outside.

[0113] The arm massage unit 1200 may be a means for providing massage or stretching to the user's arm. For example, the arm massage unit 1200 may include various components for massaging the user's arm, such as a massage module and an air cell for providing a massage to the user's arm.

[0114] Meanwhile, as described below, the arm massage unit 1200 can rotate in at least one direction to provide the user with at least one of stretching, other medical treatments, and massage.

[0115] In the following, providing a massage to the user's arm should be understood to include not only simply providing a massage (e.g., a pressing massage (or acupressure massage), a tapping massage, a kneading massage, etc.), but also various operations of the arm massage unit 1200 provided to the user's arm, such as at least one of stretching performed by rotating or stretching the user's arm in a particular direction and other medical treatments.

[0116] In addition, the arm massage unit 1200 rotates in at least one direction to minimize interference between the arm massage unit 1200 and the user's body when the user sits on the body massage unit 1100 or leaves the unit after use, allowing the user to conveniently sit on or leave the unit. For example, just before a user sits on the body massage unit 1100 or just before the user leaves the body massage unit 1100, the rotation module can rotate both arm massage units 1200 or one arm massage unit 1200 upward to open at least one side of the body massage unit 1100, making it easier for the user to sit on or leave the body massage unit 1100.

[0117] The arm massage units 1200 may be disposed on both sides of the body massage unit 1100. For example, the arm massage units 1200 may be disposed at positions (or areas) corresponding to both arms of the user within the entire area on both sides of the body massage unit 1100. Each arm massage unit 1200 may be provided with a space for accommodating the user's arms.

[0118] The arm massage unit 1200 may include an arm rest frame 1210 connected to both sides of the main frame 1130. The arm rest frame 1210 may rotate up and down around a rotation shaft 1230 installed on both sides of the main frame 1130. The rotation shaft 1230 may be disposed near one end (or the upper end) of the upper frame 1131. At this time, the upper ends on both sides of the upper frame 1131 may be positions corresponding to the user's both shoulders, such as the rear upper ends of the user's both shoulders. The rotation shaft 1230 may be directly connected to the upper frame 1131 near the upper end of the upper frame 1131 corresponding to the rear of the user's both shoulders, or may be connected via a bracket, plate, or frame structure, and may rotate around an axis extending laterally at the upper end of the upper frame 1131.

[0119] The front side of the arm rest frame 1210 may be provided with a U-shaped arm rest groove 1212 that opens laterally inward and backward so that the user's arm can be inserted. The arm rest groove 1212 may be provided with at least one of an air cell, a massage module, and a heat module that can massage the user's arm. The air cell can apply pressure to the user's arm to massage it by expanding and contracting by supplying and discharging air, and the massage module can be configured to massage the arm while vibrating by an actuator. The heat module can be configured to apply heat to the arm to provide a massage effect by applying heat.

[0120] The arm rest frame 1210 can be rotated up and down around the rotation axis 1230 by the rotation module. The rotation module can be configured to rotate the arm massage unit 1200 by switching the linear motion of the actuator to the rotation motion of the arm massage unit 1200. For example, the rotation module may be configured to rotate the arm massage unit 1200 at a certain angle in the vertical direction of the massage device 1000 around the rotation axis 1230. The rotation module for rotating the arm massage unit 1200 up and down includes an arm rotation actuator 1250 having one end connected to the main frame 1130 of the body massage unit 1110 and including a telescopic rod 1251 that is extended or contracted in one direction, and a motion switching member 1260 connected to the other end of the arm rotation actuator 1250 to switch the linear motion of the telescopic rod 1251 to the rotation motion of the arm massage unit 1200.

[0121] The arm rotation actuator 1250 may be implemented as at least one of a pneumatic, electric, hydraulic, and electro-hydraulic actuator to extend and retract the telescopic rod 1251. As an example, the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be extended or retracted while the telescopic rod 1251 moves linearly back and forth due to the rotational force of a motor operated by power applied by the controller 1400 (see FIG. 3). As another example, the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be extended or retracted while the telescopic rod 1251 moves linearly back and forth due to air pressure and / or hydraulic pressure applied by the controller 1400.

[0122] One end of the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be connected to one side of the main frame 1130, and the other end may be connected to the motion switching member 1260. For example, in the arm rotation actuator 1250, an end of the telescopic rod 1251 may be connected to the motion switching member 1260, and the telescopic rod 1251 may move linearly, thereby transmitting a rotational force to the arm massage unit 1200 through the motion switching member 1260.

[0123] The motion switching member 1260, which switches the linear motion of the telescopic rod 1251 into vertical rotational motion of the arm massage unit 1200, can be configured to transmit a rotational force to the arm massage unit 1200 while rotating around a rotation axis 1230 connected to the main frame 1130.

[0124] For example, the motion switching member 1260 may include a crank head 1261 that is rotatably connected around a rotating shaft 1230 whose center is connected to the main frame 1130 and one side of which is connected to the arm massage part 1200, a crank blade 1262 that is formed on the crank head 1261 so as to extend in the radial direction of the crank head 1261 and has a long hole-shaped guide hole 1264 formed therein, and a crank connecting member 1263 that connects the telescopic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 to the guide hole 1264 and moves along the guide hole 1264.

[0125] The crank head 1261 may be substantially cylindrical and may have a shaft hole 1261a formed in the center thereof, into which the rotating shaft 1230 is inserted and connected, penetrating in both directions. One end of the rotating shaft 1230 is coupled to one side of the upper frame 1131, and the crank head 1261 is rotatable with respect to the rotating shaft 1230. One surface of the crank head 1261 may be coupled to the arm massage part 1200. For example, one surface of the crank head 1261 may be firmly coupled to a cylindrical rotating joint part 1214 formed to protrude inward from a rear part of the arm massage part 1200 by a fastening means such as a bolt or a screw. It is possible.

[0126] When one surface of the crank head 1261 is coupled to the rotary joint 1214 of the arm massage unit 1200, the crank head 1261 and the arm massage unit 1200 may be provided with an erroneous assembly prevention unit that guides the coupling position between the crank head 1261 and the arm massage unit 1200 so that the crank head 1261 and the arm massage unit 1200 are coupled at a predetermined accurate position. For example, the erroneous assembly prevention unit may include a plurality of assembly grooves (not shown) recessed into one surface of the rotary joint 1214 of the arm massage unit 1200, and a plurality of assembly protrusions 1265 protruding from one surface of the crank head 1261 and individually inserted into each assembly groove formed in the rotary joint 1214.

[0127] The crank blade 1262 may be integrally formed on one side of the crank head 1261. The crank blade 1262 has a plate shape extending in a radial direction on one side of the crank head 1261, and may be formed as a single unit with the crank head 1261.

[0128] As described above, the crank blade 1262 may be formed as a single piece, but is not limited thereto. For example, the crank blade 1262 may be formed as a plurality of pieces and extend radially on both sides of the crank head 1261. The plurality of crank blades 1262 (hereinafter assumed to be two) may be formed side by side at a certain distance from each other. In this case, the end of the telescopic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be inserted into the space between the two crank blades 1262 and connected via the crank connecting member 1263 to enable the relative movement of the crank blades 1262.

[0129] A guide hole 1264 for connection with the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be formed in the crank blade 1262 in the shape of a long hole extending in the radial direction of the crank head 1261 .

[0130] The crank connecting member 1263 may be a bushing inserted into the guide hole 1264 of the crank blade 1262. The center of the bushing may be connected to the end of the arm rotation actuator 1250 by a fastener. The fastener may be configured using various fastening means such as at least one of a bolt, a screw, and a pin.

[0131] 10, when the telescopic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 is contracted and / or extended, the motion switching member 1260 having such a configuration can apply a force that pulls or pushes the crank blade 1262 while the crank connecting member 1263 connected to the telescopic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 slides along the guide hole 1264 of the crank blade 1262. This causes the crank head 1261 to rotate around the rotation shaft 1230, and the arm massage part 1200 can perform a rotational movement around the rotation shaft 1230.

[0132] According to the rotation module having the above-mentioned configuration, the linear motion of the telescopic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 is switched to a rotational motion through the motion switching member while the arm rotation actuator 1250 is fixed, and is transmitted to the arm massage unit 1200, so that the rotational motion of the arm massage unit 1200 can be performed very smoothly, and noise and vibration can be hardly generated during the rotational motion process. In other words, the rotation of the arm massage unit 1200 by the arm rotation actuator 1240 and the rotation module has the advantage that the arm rotation actuator 1250 does not swing sideways during the process in which the telescopic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 extends and / or contracts, so vibration and noise are hardly generated, the installation space of the arm rotation actuator 1250 can be saved, and interference between the arm rotation actuator 1250 and other components can be eliminated, compared to the case in which the arm massage unit 1200 is rotated only by the arm rotation actuator 1250.

[0133] One end of the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be connected to the main frame 1130. For example, the lower end of the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be connected to an actuator bracket 1280 fixed to the main frame 1130 by a fastening means such as a connecting pin 1282 so as to be capable of relative rotation. In this case, the connecting pin 1282 and the rotating shaft 1230 may be installed in a direction spaced apart by a certain angle. For example, the connecting pin 1282 and the rotating shaft 1230 may be installed in a direction perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the connecting pin 1282 is installed in the front-rear direction (Y-axis direction) of the massage device 1000, and the rotating shaft 1230 is installed in the left-right direction (X-direction) of the massage device 1000, so that when the arm massage unit 1200 rotates up and down around the rotating shaft 1230, the connecting pin 1282 installed at the lower end of the arm rotation actuator 1250 may resist without rotating with respect to the main frame 1130.

[0134] When the telescopic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 is extended and / or contracted to rotate the arm massage part 1200, a moment may be generated in the rotation direction of the motion switching member 1260. This moment may apply force to the connecting pin 1282, which is the connecting part between the arm rotation actuator 1250 and the main frame 1130, causing problems such as breakage, damage, and wear of the connecting pin 1282, resulting in noise and vibration.

[0135] As described above, the massage device 1000 may include a damper member 1270 to attenuate noise and vibration caused by the moment generated when the arm massage unit 1200 rotates as the telescopic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 expands or contracts. For example, one end (e.g., the lower end) of the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be inserted between both sides of a U-shaped actuator bracket 1280 coupled to the main frame 1130 and coupled to the actuator bracket 1280 by a coupling pin 1282 that crosses both sides of the actuator bracket 1280. At this time, the actuator bracket 1280 may be fixedly coupled to the main frame 1130.

[0136] 9b, the damper members 1270 are disposed between both sides of the lower end of the arm rotation actuator 1250 and both sides of the actuator bracket 1280, respectively, and can act to dampen the moment applied to the connecting pin 1282. In this case, the damper members 1270 can be made of an elastic material such as rubber that absorbs external forces.

[0137] As described above, the massage device 1000 can provide a variety of massages and stretching to the user by activating the arm rotation actuator 1250 of the rotation module to rotate the arm massage unit 1200 up and down or left and right of the massage device 1000.

[0138] Furthermore, the massage device 1000 can operate the rotation module just before the user sits on the body massage unit 1100 and / or just before the user leaves the body massage unit 1100, and rotate the arm massage unit 1200 to open at least one of one side and the other side of the body massage unit 1100, allowing the user to conveniently sit on or leave the body massage unit 1100.

[0139] As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 11-FIG. 12, the massage device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include leg massage parts 1300 which are rotatable independently of each other.

[0140] The leg massage unit 1300 may be provided to correspond to both legs of the user. For example, the leg massage unit 1300 may include a first leg massage unit 1310 corresponding to one leg of the user and a second leg massage unit 1330 corresponding to the other leg of the user.

[0141] The first leg massage unit 1310 and the second leg massage unit 1330 can be controlled independently. For example, the first leg massage unit 1310 and the second leg massage unit 1330 can provide a massage function to the user independently. Also, the first leg massage unit 1310 and the second leg massage unit 1330 can be rotated independently. The user can have different massages provided to both legs or can have massages provided crosswise to both legs as necessary. Also, the user can have stretching or massage provided to both legs by rotation. In this case, the first leg massage unit 1310 and the second leg massage unit 133 can rotate both legs of the user simultaneously or can rotate individually.

[0142] 11, the massage device 1000 may include a leg angle actuator 1350 for rotating the leg massage unit 1300. The leg angle actuator 1350 may be disposed inside the body massage unit 1100. For example, the leg angle actuator may be coupled to the main frame 1130.

[0143] The leg angle actuator 1350 can be driven to extend in one direction. The leg angle actuator 1350 can be extended to rotate the leg massage unit 1300. The leg angle actuator 1350 can be provided to correspond to the first leg massage unit 1310 and the second leg massage unit 1330, respectively. The two leg angle actuators 1350 are connected to the first leg massage unit 1310 and the second leg massage unit 1330, respectively, to rotate the first leg massage unit 1310 and the second leg massage unit 1330 individually.

[0144] The leg angle actuator 1350 may include a link member 1351 at one end. The link member 1351 may be in contact with the leg massage unit 1300 to provide rotational power to the leg massage unit 1300. A wheel 1351a may be provided on the end of the link member 1351 on the leg massage unit 1300 side.

[0145] 12, the leg massage unit 1300 may be rotatably connected to a leg connection frame 1131b disposed on the main frame 1130. The upper frame 1131 may include the leg connection frame 1131b. The leg connection frame 1131b may be provided at a front end of the upper frame 1131. The leg connection frame 1131b may be manufactured as a separate member and coupled to the upper frame 1131, or may be manufactured integrally with the upper frame 1131. When the leg connection frame 1131b is manufactured integrally with the upper frame 1131, the leg connection frame 1131b may represent one component of the upper frame 1131.

[0146] A center support bracket 1530 and a side support bracket 1550 may be connected to the center and both side ends of the leg connection frame 1131b. For example, the center support bracket 1530 and the side support bracket 1550 may be connected to the leg connection frame 1131b by welding or by fastening members such as bolts and rivets. However, the method of connecting the center support bracket 1530 and the side support bracket 1550 to the leg connection frame 1131b may be replaced by various methods commonly used in the technical field to which the present invention belongs.

[0147] The center support bracket 1530 and the side support brackets 1550 can rotatably secure the leg massager 1300 .
