[0015] The present invention provides a muscle support device that improves the phenomenon of discomfort by supporting the arm to reduce fatigue in the shoulder and arm muscles when performing tasks involving raising the arm, and further minimizes discomfort in the user's back and arms during prolonged use, thereby providing comfort and assisting in healthcare by checking labor performance in real time.

[0017] Hereinafter, the preferred configuration and operation of the present invention for achieving the above objective in relation to the attached drawings will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 15 as follows.

[0019] FIGS. 1 to 8 illustrate a muscle assist device according to the present invention, comprising a body part (10) fixed to the back of a worker, support arms (21, 22) rotatably coupled to both sides of the body part (10) in the front-rear direction, a pivoting arm (30) configured in a bar shape extending in the vertical direction, wherein the lower end is rotatably coupled to the front end of the support arms (21, 22) by a first hinge shaft (31) so that the upper end rotates in the vertical direction, and a support member (32) that supports the worker's arm, and a pivoting means (40) provided on the pivoting arm (30) to press the pivoting arm (30) upward.

[0020] The above body part (10) is composed of a support part (11) configured to be adjustable in length in the vertical direction, and a fixing part (12) provided at the top of the support part (11) and having the support arms (21, 22) connected to both ends.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 4, the support member (11) is configured in the shape of a rod extending in the vertical direction, and is configured to have a support rod (11a) with its upper end screw-coupled to the lower side of the fixing member (12) and a fixing hole (11b) formed on its circumference that penetrates the front and rear surfaces, a lifting rod (11c) that is vertically movable and has a plurality of communication holes (11d) formed so as to be spaced apart in the vertical direction, and a fixing pin (11e) that is coupled to penetrate the communication holes (11d) and the fixing hole (11b), so that the vertical length is adjusted by connecting the fixing pin (11e) after the lifting rod (11c) is raised.

[0023] The above fixed part (12) is configured in the shape of a rectangular block extended laterally.

[0024] At this time, a harness (13) that can be worn by a worker is attached to the body part (10).

[0025] To this end, a support plate (14) is provided at the bottom of the support member (11), and a fixing ring (15) is provided on the rear side of the fixing member (12).

[0026] The above harness (13) is designed to be secured to the upper body of a worker by combining a belt made of fabric material, and its upper and lower ends are respectively connected to the support plate (14) and the fixing ring (15).

[0027] Accordingly, when the worker wears the harness (13), the body part (10) is fixed so as to be in close contact with the worker's back.

[0028] The above support arms (21, 22) are composed of a first support arm (21) rotatably coupled to both sides of the body part (10) in the front-rear direction, and a second support arm (22) rotatably coupled to the front end of the first support arm (21) in the front-rear direction.

[0029] At this time, the first support arm (21) is rotatably coupled to both ends of the fixed part (12) in the forward and backward directions.

[0030] And, the tip of the second support arm (22) is provided with an extension (22a) that extends upward.

[0031] The extension part (22a) is rotatably coupled laterally to the tip of the second support arm (22) by a hinge shaft (22b).

[0032] The above-mentioned pivot arm (30) is extended in the vertical direction and is configured in the shape of a square tube with an open front.

[0033] The above support member (32) is manufactured by bending a metal plate into an arc shape in which a concave portion (32a) into which the worker's upper arm is inserted is formed on the rear side of the middle portion, and is provided to extend in an adjacent direction from the upper end of the rotating arm (30) so as to allow the rear portion of the worker's upper arm to be inserted into the concave portion (32a).

[0034] As shown in FIG. 5, the above-described rotation means (40) is composed of a support shaft (41) that extends in the vertical direction and has a lower end that is rotatably coupled to the upper end of the extension part (22a) by a second hinge shaft (41a) in the vertical direction and has a flange part (41b) formed at the upper end; a support block (42) that is slidably coupled to the outside of the support shaft (41) and is rotatably coupled to the rotation arm (30) by the support shaft (42a) with a through hole (42b) formed to penetrate the upper and lower surfaces through which the support shaft (41) passes, and a compression coil spring (43) coupled to the outside of the support shaft (41) so as to be positioned between the flange part (41b) and the support block (42).

[0035] At this time, the support block (42) is coupled to a position close to the bottom of the pivot arm (30).

[0036] And, the first hinge shaft (31) supporting the above-mentioned pivot arm (30) is connected to the tip of the second support arm (22) so as to be positioned lower than the second hinge shaft (41a).

[0037] Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the pivot arm (30) is rotated downward, the support shaft (41) is pulled downward and the compression coil spring (43) is compressed, thereby elastically pressing the pivot arm (30) so that it rotates upward.

[0038] In the muscle assist device configured in this manner, when a worker wears the harness (13) and secures the body part (10) so that it is in close contact with the back, and inserts the upper arm into the concave part (32a) of the support member (32), the rotating arm (30) is supported by the rotating means (40).

[0039] Therefore, as shown in Fig. 7, when a worker performs work with their arm raised, the rotating arm (30) supports the upper arm, which has the advantage of preventing fatigue from accumulating in the worker's shoulder and arm muscles.

[0040] In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 8, when the worker raises or lowers their arm further, the rotating arm (30) rotates in the up and down direction while being supported by the rotating means (40), thereby having the advantage of preventing the worker's movement from being restricted.

[0041] In addition, since the pivoting arm (30) is supported so as to be rotatable laterally by the supporting arms (21, 22), it has the advantage of being able to freely spread or close the arm laterally.

[0042] In the present embodiment, the support member (11) is configured to adjust its vertical length using a fixing pin (11e), but as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the support rod (11a) may be configured to have an elongated hole (11f) extending vertically formed in the support rod (11a), and a tightening screw (11g) passing through the elongated hole (11f) provided in the lifting rod (11c) so that the length of the support rod (11a) can be freely adjusted.

[0043] FIGS. 11 to 13 illustrate other embodiments according to the present invention, wherein the first hinge shaft (31) is fixed to the pivot arm (30) and configured to rotate together with the pivot arm (30).

[0044] Additionally, a generator (51) connected to the first hinge shaft (31), a battery (57) that stores electricity output from the generator (51), an angle measuring means (52) that measures the rotation angle of the first hinge shaft (31), a control means (53) that receives a signal from the angle measuring means (52), a display means (54) connected to the control means (53), a support bar (55) that extends forward from the body part (10), and a lamp (56) that is provided on the support bar (55) and turns on using electricity stored in the battery (57).

[0045] The generator (51) is configured to generate electricity and store it in the battery (57) when the first hinge axis (31) is rotated in the forward or reverse direction by raising or lowering the worker's arm.

[0046] The above angle measuring means (52) is configured to measure the angle at which the first hinge axis (31) rotates when the worker raises or lowers their arm, thereby measuring the angle and number of times the worker raises or lowers their arm and transmitting this to the above control means (53).

[0047] The above control means (53) receives a signal from the angle measuring means (52) to check the number of times the worker has performed the work, and the confirmed number of work is displayed on the display means (54).

[0048] In other words, when a worker is picking fruit or managing fruit trees, they must repeat the process of raising their arms upward to perform the work and lowering their arms to move when the work is completed.

[0049] Therefore, raising and lowering the arm above a certain angle signifies that the work for one piece of fruit has been completed, and the control means (53) receives a signal from the angle measuring means (52) and determines that the worker has performed one operation when the rotating arm (30) is raised and lowered above a certain angle once, and outputs the number of times the worker has performed the operation to the display means (54) so ​​that it is displayed in real time.

[0050] The above display means (54) utilizes an LCD panel provided on one side of the rotating arm (30), and the operator can visually check the number displayed on the display means (54) to check the number of times they have performed work in real time.

[0051] The support bar (55) is configured to be freely bendable and is provided to extend forward from the upper surface of the fixed part (12).

[0052] The lamp (56) is provided on the support bar (55) and configured to emit light forward. A switch not shown is provided on one side, and the lamp (56) is configured to be turned on and off by an operator operating the switch.

[0053] The muscle assist device configured in this way has the advantage of effectively checking the number of times a worker performs a task, as the number of tasks is displayed in real time on the display means (54) when the worker performs the task.

[0054] That is, in the case of work involving picking or managing fruit, wages are determined based on the number of fruits picked or managed. According to the present invention, since the number of times a worker has performed the work can be checked in real time, there is an advantage in that the worker's wages can be easily determined.

[0055] Also, when the worker raises or lowers their arm, the generator (51) operates to generate power, so there is no need to supply power separately, which is an advantage.

[0056] In addition, the support bar (55) is equipped with a lamp (56), which has the advantage of illuminating the front when working in dark times, such as at dawn, thereby enabling effective work.

[0058] Meanwhile, as illustrated in FIGS. 14 and 15, the body part (10) is configured with a soft backrest part (60) having a cushioning effect on the outer side that comes into contact with the user's back, so that even if the user wears the muscle assist device of the present invention for a long time, the discomfort in the back part is improved, thereby providing comfort even when working for a long time.

[0060] Here, as shown in FIG. 14, a soft elastic pad (70) is formed on the inner side of the concave portion (32a) of the support member (32) so as to provide a cushioning sensation when in contact with the user's arm.

[0061] In the case of the above elastic pad (70), friction may occur or pressure may occur due to the weight load of the arm while the user's arm is supported in the concave part (32a) for a long time or due to impact, and in this case, if severe, an injury may occur to the arm.

[0063] In other words, the backrest (60) and the elastic pad (70) are configured for the purpose of preventing problems such as injury to the body when continuous friction occurs between the user's back and body (10) and between the concave part (32a) and the user's arm (upper arm).

[0064] At this time, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, Velcro or magnets are configured in the parts where the body part (10) and the backrest part (60) face each other and where the concave part (32a) and the elastic pad (70) face each other, so that the backrest part (60) can be selectively attached to the body part (10) and the elastic pad (70) can be selectively attached to the concave part (31a).

[0065] For the purpose of the above detachment and attachment, the backrest (60) and elastic pad (70) may become dirty due to the user's sweat, etc. when used for a long time, so they can be separated and washed (cleaned) and then reused, thereby creating a pleasant working environment.

[0066] In addition, the backrest (60) and the elastic pad (70) are designed to allow the position of the backrest (60) and the elastic pad (70) to be adjusted according to the physical condition of the user using the muscle assist device of the present invention.

[0067] For example, the position of the backrest (60) can be adjusted according to the user's physical condition, and can be selectively replaced according to the shape of the backrest (60), thereby providing convenience in use.

[0069] Meanwhile, the muscle assist device of the present invention is used to reduce fatigue in users. When working for a long time, body temperature may rise, and if body temperature rises, fatigue is bound to accumulate. To minimize the rapid rise in body temperature and to reduce this fatigue, a blower fan is configured in the first support arm (21) to generate wind by receiving power from the battery (57). (Not shown)

[0070] Although the above-described blower fan is described as receiving power from a battery (57), a separate battery or similar power supply may be used as needed, and the blower fan may selectively adjust the direction in which the wind is output.

[0072] As illustrated in FIG. 17, the control means (53) is configured with a communication module for communicating with one or more smart devices (80) and a transmission unit (53a) for transmitting the number of rotations to the smart devices (80).

[0073] In other words, the control means (53) receives a signal from the angle measuring means (52) to receive the number of times the first hinge axis (31) rotates in the up and down direction, and transmits the received number of rotations to the smart device (80) through the transmission unit (53a).

[0075] The smart device (80) comprises an APP (81) including a setting unit (81a) capable of arbitrarily setting healthcare information, a receiving unit (81a) receiving information regarding the number of rotations from the transmitting unit (53a), a storage unit (81b) storing information received from the receiving unit (81a), a result derivation unit (81c) that derives a result after comparing and analyzing the information stored in the storage unit (81b) with healthcare information pre-set by the user in the setting unit (81a), and an output unit (81d) that outputs an alert sound when the result value of the result derivation unit (81c) exceeds the pre-set healthcare information.

[0076] At this time, regarding the communication between the smart device (80) and the control means (53), the smart device generally refers to a smartphone, and since the communication means is included during manufacturing, a separate detailed explanation is omitted.

[0077] The above setting unit (81a) allows a user of the muscle strength assist device to selectively input their own healthcare information to set it. This is intended to allow the user to compare the healthcare information they have set with the information of labor (exercise) performed using the muscle strength assist device, and to determine whether or not they have performed excessive exercise.

[0078] This setting section (81a) is configured to allow the healthcare information to be selectively entered and set, as the amount of exercise varies depending on each user.

[0080] The receiving unit (81b) can reliably receive information regarding the number of rotations from the transmitting unit (53a) through the self-contained communication means of the smart device (80).

[0081] The above storage unit (81c) performs the function of storing the received number of rotations information, and the storage method is such that the date and time are stored so that it is possible to determine how much work was done on which month, day, and time. Here, the above work refers to exercise, and the purpose of the configuration of the smart device (80) is to perform health management and healthcare, and to check the user's amount of exercise.

[0082] The result derivation unit (81d) compares and analyzes the rotation count information stored in the storage unit (81c) and the healthcare information stored in the setting unit (81a), and then derives a result. Through this information, the user can easily determine whether the amount of labor (exercise) is less than, close to, or exceeds the amount set by the user.

[0083] The result derivation unit (81d) is such that the amount of exercise varies from user to user and the level of fatigue felt varies depending on the condition of the day, etc., but by setting the healthcare information through the setting unit (81a), the user can set it according to their condition of the day and control the amount of labor (exercise) themselves, so that the user can control their condition and minimize fatigue by refraining from excessive labor (exercise).

[0084] When deriving results, the number can be compared and judged as a number as it is stored as the above number of rotations.

[0086] Meanwhile, if the result derived from the result derivation unit (81d) exceeds the healthcare information set in the setting unit (81a), the output unit (81e) outputs a separate notification sound so that the user can determine the current status without visually checking.

[0088] According to the muscle support device with improved pressure relief of the present invention, it maintains the original purpose of the device, which is to support the user's upper arm and prevent fatigue from accumulating in the user's shoulder and arm muscles, while simultaneously minimizing pressure relief at the point where the user's back meets the upper arm, thereby providing comfort even during prolonged use. Furthermore, it is a useful invention that assists in healthcare by checking the number of rotations of the muscle support device and monitoring exercise power based on real-time labor through a smart device connected to a control unit.
