Description

massager

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

[0002] In general, massagers provide physical stimulation or pressure to the entire body or specific parts of the body, promoting blood circulation in the body's organs and facilitating metabolism, thereby relieving muscle tension and helping to relieve physical and mental fatigue, thereby helping with fatigue recovery, disease prevention, and beauty.

[0003] Additionally, the massager may be provided in a chair or bed configuration, allowing the user to receive a massage while sitting or lying down. Furthermore, since the advantages offered by the chair and bed configurations differ, the massager may be provided in a convertible configuration between the chair and bed configurations. Such a massager may include multiple platforms that can be converted between the chair and bed configurations, and a massage module that massages the user's body.

[0004] In this regard, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2023-0083011 of Seragem Co., Ltd., entitled “Massage device capable of switching between use states” (Patent Document 1), describes a massage device including a backrest that can be switched between a first state in which a user can receive a massage while sitting or a second state in which a user can receive a massage while lying down.

[0005] However, the massage device of Patent Document 1 has a problem in that the hinge portion that supports the backrest so that the backrest rotates around the hinge point is positioned higher than the first support surface or the second support surface, making it difficult for the user to enter or exit the massage device through the side of the massage device. In other words, since the upper side of the hinge portion of the massage device of Patent Document 1 is positioned higher than the first support surface or the second support surface, when entering or exiting to the side of the massage device, the user's body may get caught on the hinge portion, so the user must enter or exit from the front or rear of the massage device. In addition, in order to exit the massage device in the second state, the user must move from a lying position to a sitting position and then move to the front or rear of the massage device while in the sitting position, which is inconvenient.

[0006] In addition, the applicant's Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0064633 "Massage Device" (Patent Document 2) discloses a massage device including a first platform, a second platform configured to be rotatable relative to the first platform, and a third platform configured to be rotatable relative to the second platform so as to be switched between a chair mode and a bed mode.

[0007] However, the massager of Patent Document 2 has a problem in that it cannot be switched to either the chair mode or the bed mode while the user is seated. In other words, the second platform of the massager of Patent Document 2 is configured to fold above the first platform in the chair mode and to unfold with respect to the first platform in the bed mode, so that the user can be supported on the chair seat surface in the chair mode and supported on the bed surface opposite the chair seat surface in the bed mode. In other words, the massager of Patent Document 2 has a problem in that the chair seat surface that supports the user in the chair mode and the bed surface that supports the user in the bed mode are positioned on opposite sides, so that the user must leave the massager in order to switch to the chair mode or the bed mode.

[0010] (Patent Document 2) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2022-0064633 (published on May 19, 2022)

[0011] One embodiment of the present invention provides a massage device that can be switched between a chair mode and a bed mode while the user is seated.

[0012] Additionally, one embodiment of the present invention provides a massager that a user can easily enter or exit.

[0013] According to one aspect of the present invention, a massage device includes: a frame; a rotating platform rotatably supported about a rotating axis with respect to an upper side of the frame; a massage module provided on at least one of the frame and the rotating platform to massage a user's body; and a driving assembly providing a driving force for rotating the rotating platform; and a controller controlling the massage module and the driving assembly based on a chair mode or a bed mode, wherein the controller controls the driving assembly such that, in the chair mode, the rotating platform rotates upward with respect to the frame to form a predetermined first angle with the frame disposed in a region directly below the rotating platform, and in the bed mode, the controller controls the driving assembly such that, in the chair mode, the rotating platform rotates downward with respect to the frame to form an angle greater than the predetermined first angle with the frame disposed in a region directly below the rotating platform, and the rotating axis is disposed lower than an upper surface of the rotating platform.

[0014] In addition, the drive assembly includes a drive cylinder that extends or contracts in a direction parallel to the direction in which the frame extends; a transfer unit that slides horizontally with respect to the frame according to the extension or contraction of the drive cylinder; and one or more link units that are connected to the transfer unit and the rotational platform and rotate the rotational platform by the movement of the transfer unit, and the one or more link units may be configured to rotate the rotational platform upward when the transfer unit is moved in one direction parallel to the direction in which the frame extends, and to rotate the rotational platform downward when the transfer unit is moved in the other direction in which the frame extends.

[0015] In addition, the at least one link part includes a first link part rotatably connected to the transport part and transported together with the transport part; and a second link part having one side connected to a rotating platform, the other side opposite to the one side being rotatably connected to the first link part, and rotating about one side by the transport of the first link part to rotate the rotating platform, wherein the rotating platform and the second link part can rotate about the same center of rotation.

[0016] Additionally, the first link portion may be formed to extend in a direction parallel to the direction in which the frame extends, but at least a portion thereof may be inclined toward the lower portion of the frame.

[0017] In addition, one side of the first link part is rotatably connected to the transport part, and the other side opposite to the one side of the first link part is rotatably connected to the other side of the second link part, and the first link part and the second link part can be rotated in the same direction by the movement of the transport part.

[0018] Additionally, the rotating platform and the second link portion can be rotated while maintaining a predetermined third angle with respect to each other.

[0019] In addition, the transfer unit may be transferred in a direction away from one side of the second link unit when the driving cylinder extends, and may be transferred toward one side of the second link unit when the driving cylinder contracts.

[0020] In addition, when the transfer unit is transferred in a direction away from one side of the second link unit, the second link unit can rotate the first link unit in one direction to rotate the rotation platform upward, and when the transfer unit is transferred toward one side of the second link unit, the first link unit can rotate in the other direction opposite to the one direction to rotate the rotation platform downward.

[0021] In addition, the frame may include a frame body that supports the rotating platform; and a guide portion that is supported on the lower side of the frame body and extends in a direction parallel to the direction in which the frame extends to guide the transport of the transport portion, and the transport portion may include a transport body that is connected to the driving cylinder; and a connecting member that is arranged on the lower side of the transport body and is slidably engaged with the guide portion.

[0022] In addition, the guide portion is formed in a plurality of pieces and is arranged to be spaced apart from each other in a vertical direction perpendicular to the direction in which the frame extends, the transfer body includes a transfer frame extending in the vertical direction from the inside of the frame and connected to the driving cylinder; and a plurality of support frames arranged on both sides of the transfer frame, extending in a direction parallel to the direction in which the frame extends, and positioned above the guide portion, and the coupling member can be arranged on the lower side of each of the plurality of support frames.

[0023] In addition, the controller can drive the massage module when in the bed mode, and control the drive assembly based on the chair mode when the massage module is stopped.

[0024] The massager of one embodiment of the present invention has the effect of being able to be switched between a chair mode and a bed mode while the user is seated.

[0025] In addition, the driving cylinder of the massage machine can be supported on a transport member that slides forward and backward when extended, so that vibration in the up-and-down direction can be prevented.

[0026] Additionally, after the massage is finished, the massager switches to chair mode so that the user can sit down instead of lying down, which has the effect of allowing the user to easily get away from the massager.

[0027] In addition, since both ends of the second link part of the massager can be rotatably connected to the transfer part and the first link part, there is an effect that the first link part and the rotation platform can rotate around the same rotation axis.

[0028] Additionally, the rotation axis of the rotation platform is positioned lower than the upper surface of the rotation platform, which has the effect of allowing the user to easily enter or exit the massager through the side of the massager.

[0041] The terminology used herein is intended solely to describe specific embodiments and is not intended to limit the invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0042] In addition, some components in the attached drawings in this specification are exaggerated, omitted, or schematically illustrated, and the size of each component does not entirely reflect the actual size.

[0043] Additionally, terms that include ordinal numbers, such as "first," "second," etc., may be used to describe various components, but these components are not limited by such terms. These terms are used solely to distinguish one component from another.

[0044] The term "comprising" as used in the specification means specifying a particular characteristic, region, integer, step, operation, element and / or component, but does not exclude the presence or addition of other particular characteristics, regions, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or groups.

[0045] Hereinafter, a massager (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0046] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the massager (1) can support a user by being provided in at least one of a bed mode, a chair mode, and a massage mode. When in bed mode, the massager (1) can support the user's head, back, legs, etc. so that the user can lie down on the massager (1), and when in chair mode, can support the user's back, hips, thighs, etc. so that the user can sit on the massager (1). The massage mode is a mode for massaging a user supported by the massager (1) when the massager (1) is in bed mode or massage mode. Hereinafter, when the user lies down on the massager (1), the direction in which the user's head faces is referred to as the front, and the direction in which the user's legs face is referred to as the rear, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the front can be one side, and the rear can be the other side opposite to one side. Such a massager (1) may include a frame (100), a rotating platform (200), a support platform (300), a driving assembly (400), a massage module (500), and a controller (600).

[0047] The frame (100) can support a rotation platform (200), a support platform (300), a drive assembly (400), a massage module, and a controller (600). In addition, the frame (100) can rotatably support the rotation platform (200). The frame (100) can include a frame body (110) and a guide portion (120).

[0048] The frame body (110) can support the rotation platform (200), the support platform (300), and the drive assembly (400). In addition, the frame body (110) can support the rotation platform (200) so that the rotation platform (200) can rotate from above. The frame body (110) can be formed so that the length in the front-back direction is longer than the length in the left-right direction. In addition, a space can be provided inside the frame body (110) to accommodate a massage module (500).

[0049] The guide part (120) can be supported on the lower side of the frame body (110) to guide the movement of the transfer part (440) of the drive assembly (400). The guide part (120) can extend in a direction parallel to the direction in which the frame (100) extends so that the transfer part (440) can be moved in the forward and backward direction. For example, the guide part (120) can be a rail extending in the forward and backward direction. In addition, the guide part (120) can be formed in multiple pieces and can be arranged on the inside of the frame body (110) spaced apart from each other in the left and right directions.

[0050] Referring further to FIGS. 4 and 5, the rotation platform (200) is rotatably supported on the upper side of the frame (100) and can support the user's body. For example, the rotation platform (200) can support the user's head, waist, etc. The rotation platform (200) can be rotated up and down around a rotation axis (Ax) extending in the left and right directions. The rotation axis (Ax) can be positioned on the rear side of the rotation platform (200) so as to be positioned lower than the upper surface of the rotation platform (200). The upper surface of the rotation platform (200) can be a surface facing the user's body in the massage mode, the chair mode, and the bed mode.

[0051] The rear side of the rotating platform (200) can be rotatably connected to the upper side of the frame body (110). In addition, the rear side of the rotating platform (200) can be positioned rearward relative to the guide part (120).

[0052] The rotating platform (200) can be rotated upward with respect to the frame body (110) when in chair mode. In addition, the rotating platform (200) can be rotated upward with respect to the frame (100) when in chair mode to form a predetermined first angle with the rear portion of the frame (100). In addition, the angle formed by the rotating platform (200) at the first angle and a virtual vertical plane perpendicular to the rotation axis (Ax) can be formed smaller than the angle formed by the rotating platform (200) at the second angle, which will be described later. For example, the first angle can be 50° or more and 90° or less. In other words, the rotating platform (200) can be rotated so that the front side is positioned higher than the rear side in the chair mode.

[0053] In addition, the rotating platform (200) can be rotated downward with respect to the frame (100) when in bed mode. In addition, the rotating platform (200) can form a second angle with the rear portion of the frame (100) by being rotated downward. The second angle can be formed to be greater than the first angle. In other words, the rotating platform (200) can be rotated with respect to the frame (100) so as to be placed horizontally when in bed mode. In addition, when the rotating platform (200) is in bed mode, the rotation axis (Ax) can be positioned lower than the upper surface of the rotating platform (200).

[0054] A first opening (210) may be formed in the rotating platform (200). The first opening (210) may extend from the rear side of the rotating platform (200) toward the front side. This first opening (210) may provide a space through which the massage module can move.

[0055] The support platform (300) may be arranged on the upper side of the frame body (110) to support the user's body. The support platform (300) may be spaced apart from the rotation platform (200) in the front-back direction. In addition, the support platform (300) may be arranged rearward relative to the rotation platform (200). In addition, in bed mode, the length of the support platform (300) in the front-back direction may be smaller than the length of the rotation platform (200) in the front-back direction. For example, the support platform (300) may support the user's buttocks, thighs, legs, etc. In addition, a second opening (310) may be formed in the support platform (300). The second opening (310) may extend from the front side of the support platform (300) toward the rear side to provide a space for the massage module (500) to move in the massage mode. Additionally, the second opening (310) can be communicated with the first opening (210).

[0056] Referring further to FIGS. 6 to 9, the drive assembly (400) can provide a driving force to rotate the rotation platform (200). In other words, the drive assembly (400) can rotate the rotation platform (200) in the up and down direction so that the massager (1) can be switched between chair mode, bed mode, and massage mode. The drive assembly (400) can include a drive cylinder (410), one or more link units (420, 430), and a transport unit (440).

[0057] The drive cylinder (410) is supported on the frame (100), connected to the transport unit (440), and can be extended. The drive cylinder (410) can extend or contract in a direction parallel to the direction in which the frame (100) extends. In other words, the drive cylinder (410) can extend in the forward and backward direction. The drive cylinder (410) can move the transport unit (440) in the forward and backward direction while being extended in the forward and backward direction. The drive cylinder (410) can be arranged on the lower side of the frame body (110) so as to extend forward. When in bed mode, the drive cylinder (410) can contract so that the transport unit (440) moves rearward. In addition, when in chair mode, the drive cylinder (410) can extend so that the transport unit (440) moves forward. Additionally, the front end of the drive cylinder (410) can be positioned forward of the rotation axis (Ax) of the rotation platform (200) when in chair mode.

[0058] One or more link members (420, 430) can connect between the transport member (440) and the rotating platform (200). These one or more link members (420, 430) can rotate the rotating platform (200) upward when the transport member (440) is moved forward. In addition, the one or more link members (420, 430) can rotate the rotating platform (200) downward when the transport member (440) is moved backward. The one or more link members (420, 430) can include a first link member (420) and a second link member (430).

[0059] The first link part (420) may extend in the front-back direction, one side of which may be rotatably connected to the transfer part (440), and the other side opposite the one side may be rotatably connected to the second link part (430). In addition, the first link part (420) may move in the front-back direction together with the transfer part (440) when the transfer part (440) moves in the front-back direction. The first link part (420) may be positioned rearward in bed mode compared to chair mode. The other side of the first link part (420) may be positioned lower in chair mode than in bed mode. The other side of the first link part (420) may be positioned higher than one side. In addition, a part of the first link part (420) may be formed to be inclined rearward as it goes toward the other side of the first link part (420). In other words, the first link portion (420) may be formed to extend in a direction parallel to the direction in which the frame (100) extends, but at least a portion thereof may be inclined toward the lower portion of the frame (100). In addition, the first link portion (420) may be formed in multiple pieces and connected to both sides of the transfer portion (440).

[0060] The second link part (430) can rotate the rotation platform (200) by the movement of the first link part (420). One side of the second link part (430) can be rotatably connected to the rotation platform (200), and the other side opposite the one side can be rotatably connected to the other side of the first link part (420). In addition, the second link part (430) can be rotated around the rotation axis (Ax) together with the rotation platform (200). The second link part (430) and the rotation platform (200) can be rotated together while forming a predetermined third angle with respect to each other. For example, the third angle can be formed to be larger than the first angle and smaller than the second angle. When in bed mode, one side of the second link part (430) can be arranged in front of the other side. When the second link part (430) is in chair mode, one side can be positioned further back than the other side.

[0061] In addition, one side of the second link part (430) may be positioned higher than the other side. By means of this second link part (430), the other side of the first link part (420) may move downward when the transfer part (440) is transferred forward, and may move upward when the transfer part (440) is moved backward. In addition, the second link part (430) and the first link part (420) may rotate in the same direction due to the movement of the transfer part (440). Since the second link part (430) and the first link part (420) may rotate in the same direction according to the movement of the transfer part (440), the rotating platform (200) may rotate in the up and down direction. In other words, when the second link part (430) is rotated in one direction around the rotation axis (Ax), the first link part (420) may also be rotated in one direction around the transfer part (440). In addition, when the second link part (430) is rotated in another direction around the rotation axis (Ax), the first link part (420) can also be rotated in another direction around the transfer part (440). In addition, the second link parts (430) may be formed in multiple pieces and connected to both sides of the rear end of the rotation platform (200) and connected to the inner side of the multiple first link parts (420).

[0062] The transfer unit (440) can be slidably moved relative to the frame (100) according to the extension or contraction of the drive cylinder (410) while being supported by the guide unit (120). When in bed mode, the transfer unit (440) can be moved rearward by the contraction of the drive cylinder (410). In addition, when the drive cylinder (410) contracts, the transfer unit (440) can be moved toward one side of the second link unit (430). When in chair mode, the transfer unit (440) can be moved forward by the extension of the drive cylinder (410). In addition, when the drive cylinder (410) extends, the transfer unit (440) can be spaced apart from one side of the second link unit (430). The transfer unit (440) may include a transfer body (441) and a coupling member (442).

[0063] The transfer body (441) may be arranged on the inside of the frame body (110) and connected to the driving cylinder (410). In addition, the transfer body (441) may rotatably support one side of the first link part (420). When the transfer body (441) moves forward, it may move the first link part (420) forward, and when it moves backward, it may move the first link part (420) backward. In addition, the transfer body (441) may include a transfer frame (441a) and a plurality of support frames (441b).

[0064] The transfer frame (441a) can extend left and right from the inside of the frame (100) and be connected to the drive cylinder (410). In addition, the transfer frame (441a) can support a plurality of support frames (441b). This transfer frame (441a) can be moved in the front and rear directions by the expansion and contraction of the drive cylinder (410).

[0065] Each of the plurality of support frames (441b) is arranged on both sides of the transfer frame (441a) and extends in the front-back direction, and can be positioned above the guide part (120). In addition, the plurality of support frames (441b) can support the connecting member (442).

[0066] The coupling member (442) is arranged on the lower side of the transport body (441) and can be engaged with the guide member (120) so as to move along the extension direction of the guide member (120). In other words, the coupling member (442) is arranged on the lower side of the plurality of support frames (441b) and can be guided by the guide member (120) to guide the transport body (441) in the forward and backward direction. For example, the coupling member (442) may be a transport pad inserted into a rail.

[0067] A massage module (500) is provided on at least one of a frame (100), a rotating platform (200), and a support platform (300), and can massage a user's body. As a first example, the massage module can massage a user's body supported by at least one of a rotating platform (200) and a support platform (300) in the frame (100). In other words, the massage module can pressurize the user's body while moving forward and backward in the frame (100) when in massage mode. As a second example, the massage module can move forward and backward in the first opening (210) and the second opening (310) when in massage mode. In other words, the massage module can massage the user's body by moving from the first opening (210) toward the second opening (310) or by moving from the second opening (310) toward the first opening (210) when the massager (1) is in massage mode. As a third example, the massage module can also massage the user's body at the first opening (210) when the massager (1) is in chair mode.

[0068] The controller (600) can control the drive assembly (400) and the massage module based on the chair mode, bed mode, and massage mode. In the bed mode, the controller (600) can control the drive cylinder (410) to contract. In the bed mode, as the drive cylinder (410) contracts, the transfer unit (440) and the first link unit (420) move rearward, and as the first link unit (420) moves, the second link unit (430) and the rotation platform (200) rotate around the rotation axis (Ax), so that the rotation platform (200) can rotate downward. By the controller (600), the rotation platform (200) can be arranged to form a second angle greater than the first angle with the frame (100) in the bed mode. The rotating platform (200) can be positioned horizontally with respect to the ground in bed mode, or can be positioned at an angle with respect to the frame (100) to form a second angle. In addition, the controller (600) can control the driving cylinder (410) so that the rotating platform (200) maintains the second angle with respect to the frame (100) in bed mode.

[0069] In addition, the controller (600) can control the drive cylinder (410) to extend when in chair mode. In this chair mode, as the drive cylinder (410) extends, the transfer unit (440) and the first link unit (420) move forward, and as the first link unit (420) moves, the second link unit (430) and the rotation platform (200) rotate around the rotation axis (Ax), so that the rotation platform (200) can rotate upward. By this controller (600), the rotation platform (200) can be arranged to form a first angle with the frame (100) in the chair mode. In addition, the controller (600) can control the drive cylinder (410) so that the rotation platform (200) maintains the first angle with the frame (100) in the chair mode.

[0070] In addition, the controller (600) can drive the massage module when in massage mode. The controller (600) can perform the massage mode in bed mode or chair mode. In addition, the controller (600) can control the drive assembly (400) so that the massage machine (1) switches to chair mode when the massage mode is terminated after being performed in bed mode. Since the massage machine (1) can switch to chair mode after the massage mode is terminated, the user can easily leave the massage machine (1). In other words, the controller (600) can drive the massage module (500) based on the massage mode when in bed mode, and can control the drive assembly (400) based on the chair mode when the massage module (500) is stopped.

[0071] The controller (600) described above can be implemented by a computing device including a microprocessor, a measuring device such as a sensor, and a memory, and the method of implementation thereof is obvious to those skilled in the art, so further detailed description is omitted.

[0072] Hereinafter, the operation and effect of a massager (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0073] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the massager (1) can be placed in chair mode before the user uses it, and when the user sits on the massager (1) to receive a massage, the massager (1) can be switched to massage mode or bed mode. In other words, the controller (600) can control the drive assembly (400) so that the rotation platform (200) rotates downward based on the bed mode. The controller (600) can position the massage module (500) in at least one of the first opening (210) and the second opening (310) based on the massage mode. Thereafter, when the massager (1) ends in the massage mode, the massager can be switched to chair mode and control the drive assembly (400) so that the rotation platform (200) forms a first angle with the frame (100).

[0074] Since this massager (1) can be converted into chair mode and bed mode, the user can receive a massage while sitting or lying down on the massager (1).

[0075] Additionally, the massager (1) can be switched between chair mode and bed mode while the user is seated.

[0076] In addition, after the massage is finished, the massager (1) can be switched to chair mode so that the user can be placed in a sitting position rather than a lying position, so that the user can easily get away from the massager (1).

[0077] In addition, since the drive cylinder (410) of the massager (1) can be supported by a transport member (440) that slides in the forward and backward direction when expanded, vibration in the up and down direction can be prevented.

[0078] In addition, since both ends of the second link part (430) of the massager (1) can be rotatably connected to the transfer part (440) and the first link part (420), the first link part (420) and the rotation platform (200) can rotate around the same rotation axis (Ax).
