Specific details for implementing the invention

[0007] Referring to FIGS. 1 through 6, the present invention is described as follows: from the bottom, the product configuration consists of a shampoo robot foot (500), a shampoo robot base (400), a position adjustment part (300), a shampoo robot head (200), and a shampoo robot head cover (100).

[0008] When the user lies down on the chair and tilts their head back, they insert their head into the shampoo robot corresponding to the present invention. To facilitate insertion, the dome-shaped shampoo robot head cover (100) opens upward and closes when the user lies down. At this time, to prevent water from splashing toward the user's face, a horseshoe-shaped water-blocking pad (110) adheres to the face to prevent water from splashing.

[0009] As shown in FIG. 2, the dome-shaped head for shampooing can be adjusted in height through a rack (302), pinion (303), and movable shaft (304) configured in the shampoo robot head position adjustment unit (300), and can adjust the rotation angle through an angle rotation unit (306). For adjustment, the outer part is equipped with a pleated pad (301) to accommodate changes in shape caused by changes in position. On the lower part of the shampoo robot head (200), there are drying hot air outlets (201) on both sides so that hot air can be applied from below the user's (800) head to dry the hair, and the hot air is supplied through a drying hot air supply line (202) from a hot air blower (203) provided in the shampoo robot base (400).

[0010] FIG. 3 is a drawing showing a plurality of protruding rod modules installed inside and their operating structure, in which a protruding rod module (102) for water spraying, shampooing, and massage functions is configured inside the shampoo head. The protruding rod (101) is composed of a plurality of protrusions for massage and a spray hole for spraying raw materials and air, and the shape of this protruding rod can change shape and the number of protruding rods can be adjusted, such as a circular protruding rod (107), depending on the massage function. When the user (800) puts their head into the head, the protruding rod (101) is in an empty chamber (108) state before operation, and when no pressure is applied, it is contracted toward the protruding rod (101) and the protruding rod axis (101). When operation starts and water and air are sprayed, the supply raw material (106) is filled into the protruding rod module (102) and pressure is generated, and the pressure generated at this time transports the protruding rod towards the head like a syringe and comes into close contact with the user's head (800).

[0011] [Fig. 4] This is a detailed configuration diagram of a plurality of protruding rods installed inside, showing the state of the protruding rod (101) before use and the state in which the protruding rod expands or contracts when pressure is applied after the feed material (106) is filled. The pressure of the feed material (106) can be controlled to an appropriate pressure through a pressure sensor installed inside.
