Description

massage device

[0001] The present invention relates to a massage device.

[0002] Generally, massage devices apply physical stimulation or pressure to the entire body or specific areas, promoting blood circulation and facilitating metabolism. Furthermore, massage devices apply pressure to muscles, relieving tension and thus relieving physical and mental fatigue. This helps with fatigue recovery, disease prevention, and beauty.

[0003] Meanwhile, conventional massage devices can be provided in the form of a bed, allowing the user to lie down and receive a massage, and perform the massage by applying pressure to specific areas, such as the user's shoulders, back, or waist. These massage devices include a massage module mounted on the inside of the backrest, which stimulates the user by tapping specific body parts.

[0004] In this regard, applicant Jeong Chan-in's Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2003-0087599, "Multifunctional bed with massage device" (Patent Document 1), discloses a bed equipped with a massage device so that a user can receive a massage function while lying down.

[0005] However, the "multifunctional bed with massage device" of Patent Document 1 is composed of a single frame, so the bed must always be unfolded. In other words, the multifunctional bed of Patent Document 1 is unfolded not only when the user is using the massage device, but also when the massage device is not in use. In this case, the multifunctional bed is always unfolded even when the user is not using the massage device, which causes the problem of taking up a lot of space. Furthermore, the multifunctional bed of Patent Document 1 does not have a head pad to stably support the user's head, so when the user lies down on the bed, the problem is that the user's head cannot be comfortably maintained.

[0006] Accordingly, a bed-type massage device is proposed that allows a user to receive a massage function while lying down, while minimizing the length and volume of the bed and having a head pad that can support the user's head when the user lies down on the bed.

[0007] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2263425 "Bed-type massage device" (Patent Document 2) of the applicant Beyond Relax Co., Ltd. discloses a leg support that adjusts the installation angle to minimize installation space and a neck support that supports the user's head.

[0008] However, since the leg support of Patent Document 2 is hinge-connected to the lower part of the seating part, there is a limit to adjusting the angle of the leg support to minimize the installation space. In other words, since the rotation angle range of the leg support is limited to within 90 degrees, even if the leg support is rotated as much as possible, the bed-type massage equipment takes up a lot of space at the installation site. In addition, since the neck support of Patent Document 2 is fixedly installed at the upper part of the backrest, when the user is not using the bed-type massage equipment, it is inconvenient to store the neck support separately even if the neck support is arbitrarily separated from the backrest, and when trying to reinstall the neck support on the backrest, it may be difficult to find the exact installation position of the neck support.

[0010] (Patent Document 1) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2003-0087599 (Published on November 14, 2003)

[0011] (Patent Document 2) Korean Patent No. 10-2263425 (registered on June 4, 2021)

[0012] One embodiment of the present invention was invented with the above background in mind, and aims to provide a massage device capable of moving a head module relative to a main frame depending on whether a massage function is used.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a massage device comprises: a frame module including a massage module; a main frame supporting the massage module, and a fixed frame disposed at a rear portion of the main frame; and a head module configured to be relatively movable with respect to the main frame, wherein the head module comprises a head plate; and a head sheet connected to the head plate such that at least a portion of the head plate surrounds the fixed frame, and the head sheet provides a movable space in which the fixed frame can be relatively movable when the head plate is moved relatively to the main frame.

[0014] Additionally, the head module may be relatively movable with respect to the main frame so as to be placed in a first state in which the center is positioned on the upper side of the main frame so as to overlap the main frame, or in a second state in which the center is positioned further rearward than the first state.

[0015] In addition, the frame module may further include guide frames arranged on both sides of the main frame to support both edge portions of the head module when the head module is placed in the first state.

[0016] Additionally, the frame module may further include a support frame disposed at the rear end of the main frame to support the head sheet when the head module is placed in the second state.

[0017] In addition, the head module may further include a head pad disposed on one side of the head plate; and a head holder connected to an end of the head pad so that the head pad can be gripped by a user.

[0018] Additionally, the head sheet may be made of a flexible material that can be continuously brought into close contact with the outer surface of the fixed frame at least partially when the head module moves relative to the main frame.

[0019] In addition, the massage device may further include a control module disposed on the upper portion of the main frame to control the operation of the massage module, and the frame module may further include a main pad disposed on the upper portion of the main frame so that the control module is exposed.

[0020] In addition, the head plate may include a guide groove formed at a position facing the control module so as to enable manipulation of the control module when the head module is placed in the first state.

[0021] Additionally, the frame module may further include an auxiliary frame provided at the front of the main frame so as to be relatively movable with respect to the main frame.

[0022] Additionally, the second state may include a state in which the center of the head module is positioned rearward relative to the main frame.

[0023] According to one embodiment of the present invention, since the head module is relatively movable forward and backward with respect to the main frame, the position of the head module can be freely changed by placing the head module on the upper side of the main frame or on the rear side of the main frame depending on whether the massage function is used.

[0024] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the user uses the massage function, the head module can be positioned toward the rear of the massage device, and when the user does not use the massage function (when the bed is folded), the head module can be positioned toward the user's head.

[0025] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the head module is moved to the rear side of the massage device, the head seat moves only within the moving space of the head module, thereby preventing the head module from being positioned far away from the massage device or from being positioned separately from the massage device.

[0026] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the head module is placed on the upper side of the main frame, there is an effect in which both edges of the head module can be stably supported through the guide frame.

[0027] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the head module is placed on the rear side of the main frame, the head sheet of the head module can be stably supported by the main frame and the support frame.

[0028] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, by configuring the head sheet of the head module with a flexible material, there is an effect that at least a portion of the head sheet can be continuously brought into close contact with the outer surface of the fixed frame when the head module moves relative to the main frame.

[0029] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, when the head module is placed on the upper side of the main frame, there is an effect in which the user can receive the massage function of the massage module by operating the control module through the guide groove of the head plate even when the head module is placed on the upper side of the main frame.

[0030] In addition, according to one embodiment of the present invention, since the auxiliary frame is configured to be movable with respect to the main frame through a link member, the configuration of the main frame can be simplified, the manufacturing process and manufacturing period of the main frame can be minimized, and when the massage function is not used, the space occupied by the massage device can be minimized.

[0047] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 10, a massage device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention can massage a user's body by applying stimulation or pressure to the body. The massage device (1) may include a massage module (100), a frame module (200), and a head module (300).

[0048] The massage module (100) can massage the user by applying pressure to the user's body parts. For example, the massage module (100) can massage the user's shoulders, back, and waist by applying pressure to them. The massage module (100) can be supported by the frame module (200). The massage module (100) can be exposed to the outside by the movement of the auxiliary frame (220) of the frame module (200) or can be covered by the auxiliary frame (220).

[0049] The massage module (100) can be controlled by a control module. The control module may be a controller for controlling the operation of the massage module (100). The control module may be placed on the upper portion of the main frame (210). When the head module (300) is placed on the main frame (210) of the frame module (200), that is, when the head module (300) is in the first state, the control module may be exposed to the outside through a guide groove formed in the head module (300). In a state where the control module is exposed to the outside through the guide groove of the head module (300), the user may receive the massage function of the massage module (100) by operating the massage module (100) through the control module. The control module may be implemented by a computing device including a microprocessor, a memory, etc., and the implementation method thereof is obvious to those skilled in the art, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0050] The frame module (200) can support a massage module (100), a head module (300), and a frame pad (240) described later.

[0051] The main frame (210) can support the massage module (100) and the head module (300). In addition, the main frame (210) can support the main pad (241) among the frame pads (240) that can support the upper body of the user. An end of a link member (250) can be rotatably connected to the main frame (210). The main frame (210) can be connected to the auxiliary frame (220) via the link member (250).

[0052] The auxiliary frame (220) can support an auxiliary pad (242) among the frame pads (240) that can support the user's lower body. The auxiliary frame (220) can be positioned at the rear of the main frame (210). When viewed from the side, the auxiliary frame (220) can be formed to extend in a manner that is bent from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction.

[0053] The auxiliary frame (220) may be rotatably connected to the main frame (210) via a link member (250). The auxiliary frame (220) may be provided to be relatively movable with respect to the main frame (210). For example, when the auxiliary frame (220) is moved by the rotation of the link member (250), the auxiliary frame (220) may be placed in an overlapping state or an extended state. The overlapping state may be a state in which the center of the auxiliary frame (220) is placed on the upper side of the main frame (210) so as to overlap with the main frame (210), and the extended state may be a state in which the center of the auxiliary frame (220) is placed further forward than the overlapping state.

[0054] The fixed frame (230) can guide the relative movement of the head module (300). The fixed frame (230) can be wrapped by at least a portion of the head module (300). For example, the fixed frame (230) can be positioned in a movement space in which the head module (300) can move relatively. The fixed frame (230) can be positioned at the rear of the main frame (210). Both ends of the fixed frame (230) can be fixed to both sides of the main frame (210).

[0055] The frame pad (240) may be provided in the form of a mattress that provides a cushioning sensation. The frame pad (240) may include a main pad (241) and an auxiliary pad (242). The main pad (241) may provide a cushioning sensation that can support the user's upper body. The main pad (241) may be placed on the upper part of the main frame (210). The auxiliary pad (242) may provide a cushioning sensation that can support the user's lower body. The auxiliary pad (242) may be placed on the upper part of the auxiliary frame (220).

[0056] The link member (250) can be connected between the main frame (210) and the auxiliary frame (220) to enable relative movement of the auxiliary frame (220) with respect to the main frame (210). Both ends of the link member (250) can be hinge-connected to the main frame (210) and the auxiliary frame (220). For example, one end of the link member (250) can be connected to the lower part of the main frame (210) and the other end of the link member (250) can be hinge-connected to one end of the auxiliary frame (220). In the present embodiment, one link member (250) is connected between the main frame (210) and the auxiliary frame (220), but is not limited thereto, and a plurality of link members (250) can be connected between the main frame (210) and the auxiliary frame (220).

[0057] The guide frame (260) can be arranged on both sides of the main frame (210). When the head module (300) is placed in the first state described below, the guide frame (260) can support the edge portions on both sides of the head module (300). In addition, when the auxiliary frame (220) is placed in an overlapping state, the guide frame (260) can support the edge portions on both sides of the auxiliary frame (220).

[0058] The support frame (270) may be positioned at the rear end of the main frame (210). The support frame (270) may be provided in the form of a plate capable of supporting the entire rear surface of the head module (300). For example, when the head module (300) is placed in the second state, the support frame (270) may support the rear surface of the head seat (320).

[0059] The head module (300) may be provided at the rear of the main frame (210) so as to be relatively movable with respect to the main frame (210). When the head module (300) is moved relative to the main frame (210), the head module (300) may be placed in a first state in which it is disposed on the upper side of the main frame (210), or in a second state in which it is disposed further rearward than the first state. The first state may be a state in which the center of the head module (300) is disposed on the upper side of the main frame (210) so as to overlap with the main frame (210), and the second state may be a state in which the center of the head module (300) is disposed further rearward than the first state. The second state may include a state in which the center of the head module (300) is disposed further rearward than the main frame (210). The head module (300) may include a head plate (310), a head seat (320), a head pad (330), and a head holder.

[0060] The head plate (310) can support a head seat (320) and a head pad (330). A head pad (330) can be placed on one side of the head plate (310), and an end of the head seat (320) can be connected to the other side of the head plate (310).

[0061] A guide groove may be formed on the head plate (310). The guide groove may be a hole or groove shape through which a user's hand can pass to enable manipulation of the control module. When the head module (300) is placed in the first state, the guide groove is positioned at a point facing the control module so that the user can manipulate the control module, thereby allowing the user to manipulate the control module through the guide groove.

[0062] The head sheet (320) may be connected to the head plate (310) so that at least a portion of the head sheet (320) surrounds the fixed frame (230). For example, both ends of the head sheet (320) may be connected to both ends of the head plate (310), respectively, and a moving space may be provided between the head sheet (320) and the head plate (310) in which the fixed frame (230) can move relatively. When the head module (300) moves relatively to the main frame (210), the fixed frame (230) can move relatively within the moving space. The head sheet (320) may be made of a flexible material. When the head module (300) moves relatively to the main frame (210), at least a portion of the head sheet (320) may be continuously in close contact with the outer surface of the fixed frame (230).

[0063] The head pad (330) may be placed on one side of the head plate (310). The head pad (330) may be made of a material capable of providing a cushioning feel to the user's head. When the head module (300) is placed in the first state, the head pad (330) may be placed facing upward on the upper side of the main frame (210). When the head module (300) is placed in the second state, the head pad (330) may be placed facing backward on the rear side of the main frame (210). A head holder may be placed on the head pad (330). The head holder may be a handle that can be held by a user. For example, the head holder may be provided in the form of a ring connected to the ends of the head pad (330) at both ends. The user may move the head module (300) to the first state or the second state by holding the head holder and moving it in the forward or backward direction of the main frame (210).

[0064] Hereinafter, the operation and effect of a massage device according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0065] Referring back to FIGS. 3 to 6, the head module (300) can be placed in a first state overlapping with the main frame (210). When the head module (300) is placed in the first state, the center of the head module (300) can be placed on the upper side of the main frame (210) so as to overlap with the main frame (210), and the user can comfortably maintain a lying posture while placing his / her head on the head module (300). Even while placing his / her head on the head module (300), the user can receive the massage function of the massage module (100) by operating the control module exposed to the outside through the guide groove of the head module (300).

[0066] Referring back to FIGS. 7 to 10, the user can change the head module (300) from the first state to the second state by pushing the head module (300) toward the rear of the main frame (210). When the head module (300) changes from the first state to the second state, the head module (300) can move backward and then rotate downward while being restrained to the fixed frame (230).

[0067] When the head module (300) is placed in the second state, the upper part of the head module (300) is restrained by the fixed frame (230), and the center of the head module (300) can be placed further rearward than in the first state. When the head module (300) is placed in the second state, the user can receive the massage function of the massage module (100) by operating the massage module (100) through the control module.

[0068] Meanwhile, the massage device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention can freely change the position of the head module (300) by placing the head module (300) on the upper side of the main frame (210) or on the rear side of the main frame (210) depending on whether the massage module (100) is used. In particular, when the user uses the massage function, the head module (300) can be placed on the rear side of the massage device (1), and when the user does not use the massage function, the head module (300) can be placed on the side of the user's head.

[0069] In addition, when the head module (300) is moved to the rear side of the massage device (1), the head seat (320) moves only within the movement space of the head module (300), so that the head module (300) can be prevented from being positioned far away from the massage device (1) or from being positioned separately from the massage device (1).

[0070] In addition, when the head module (300) is placed on the upper side of the main frame (210), the edges on both sides of the head module (300) can be stably supported by the guide frame (260), and when the head module (300) is placed on the rear side of the main frame (210), the head seat (320) of the head module (300) can be stably supported by the main frame (210) and the support frame (270).

[0071] In addition, since the head sheet (320) of the head module (300) is made of a flexible material, when the head module (300) moves relative to the main frame (210), at least a portion of the head sheet (320) can be continuously pressed against the outer surface of the fixed frame (230). In addition, when the head module (300) is placed on the upper side of the main frame (210), even when the head module (300) is placed on the upper side of the main frame (210), the user can receive the massage function of the massage module (100) by operating the control module through the guide groove of the head plate (310).

[0072] In addition, since the auxiliary frame (220) is configured to be movable with respect to the main frame (210) through the link member (250), the configuration of the main frame (210) can be simplified, the manufacturing process and manufacturing period of the main frame can be minimized, and the space occupied by the massage device when the massage function is not used can be minimized.

[0073] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described as specific embodiments, these are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto, but should be construed to have the broadest scope in accordance with the technical concepts disclosed in this specification. Those skilled in the art may implement patterns of shapes not specified by combining / substituting the disclosed embodiments, but this also does not depart from the scope of the present invention. In addition, those skilled in the art may easily modify or alter the disclosed embodiments based on this specification, and it is clear that such modifications or alterations also fall within the scope of the present invention.
