Description

Load-bearing frame with storage space

[0001] The present invention relates to a frame, and more particularly, to a load-bearing frame.

[0002] A variety of frame types are commonly used to support loads. Examples include office desks and computer desks, as well as heated massage devices equipped with heated massage modules that allow users to lie down and use them.

[0003] These office desks, computer desks, and thermal massage devices improve user convenience as their load-bearing area increases. However, as the load-bearing area increases, the area occupied by the desk or thermal massage device also increases, making storage difficult and reducing space efficiency.

[0004] Korean Patent Publication No. 2022-0023098 discloses a computer desk for PC rooms equipped with a conventional sliding auxiliary table. This computer desk features a sliding auxiliary table that can be moved in and out according to the user's needs, thereby enhancing user convenience.

[0005] However, these auxiliary tables move along the step guide rails provided on the stand, and when the auxiliary table is pulled out, the load applied to the auxiliary table is supported only by these step guide rails, so it is difficult to place heavy objects on them, and there is a limitation that only light objects such as keyboards can be placed on them.

[0006] Korean Patent Publication No. 2022-0145595 discloses a massage device equipped with a conventional storage space. The auxiliary portion of this massage device includes a door member that opens and closes the storage space housing the sub-massage module.

[0007] However, these massage devices have limitations in that the lower part of the door member is hingedly fixed to the leg member, and when configured in this way, it is difficult to change the use state because the door member comes into contact with the ground when the storage space is open, and the degree to which the storage space is opened is not large, making it difficult to insert / withdraw the sub-massage module.

[0008] In other words, there is a need for the development of a technology that allows for easy storage by reducing the load-bearing area during storage, and for improved convenience of use by increasing the load-bearing area during use, while also allowing for switching between use states even when the storage space is open, and expanding the degree of openness of the storage space.

[0046] Hereinafter, with reference to the attached drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those skilled in the art can easily practice the present invention. The present invention may be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. To clearly explain the present invention, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted in the drawings, and the same reference numerals designate identical or similar components throughout the specification.

[0047] The words and terms used in this specification and claims should not be construed as limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted in a way that is consistent with the technical idea of ​​the present invention, in accordance with the principles by which the inventor can define terms and concepts in order to best explain his or her invention.

[0048] Therefore, the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations illustrated in the drawings correspond to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and do not represent all of the technical ideas of the present invention, so there may be various equivalents and modified examples that can replace the configuration at the time of filing of the present invention.

[0049] In this specification, terms such as “include” or “have” are intended to describe the presence of a feature, number, step, operation, component, part or combination thereof described in the specification, but should be understood not to exclude in advance the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts or combinations thereof.

[0050] Fig. 1 is a side view illustrating a state in which a load-bearing frame according to one embodiment of the present invention is arranged in a first state, and Fig. 2 is a side view illustrating a state in which a load-bearing frame according to one embodiment of the present invention is arranged in a second state. Here, the X direction is the length direction, and the Z direction is the height direction. In order to clearly explain the present invention, parts that are not related to the explanation are omitted from the drawings.

[0051] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, a load-bearing frame (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be switched between a first state (S1) in which a first support surface (11) and a second support surface (12) supporting a load are arranged in a height direction (Z) and a second state (S2) in which the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (12) are arranged in a length direction (X).

[0052] This load-bearing frame (10) includes a main body (100) having a first support surface (11), and an auxiliary body (200) that is movable in the longitudinal direction (X) of the main body (100) and has a second support surface (12).

[0053] A thermal massage module capable of providing thermal massage may be installed at the lower portion of the first support surface (11) of the main body (100). The thermal massage module may include a pressure unit having a pressure member for applying pressure to a user, a drive unit having a drive motor member for providing a driving force to adjust the height direction position of the pressure member, a transport unit having a transport motor member for providing a driving force to move the body unit along the longitudinal direction, and a control unit for controlling the operation of each unit.

[0054] The pressure member provided in this thermal massage module can massage the spine while moving in the longitudinal direction (X) along the user's spine, and can provide a massage effect at an appropriate temperature depending on the massaged location by heating or cooling the pressure member using the current supplied through the control unit.

[0055] At this time, the pressurized member may be configured to provide the user with a thermal steaming and massage effect by using not only high-temperature heat but also far-infrared rays.

[0056] The pressurizing member may be formed in a roller shape, but is not limited thereto, and various shapes and structures are possible as long as the pressurizing member is configured to rotate while moving in the longitudinal direction (X).

[0057] In addition, if the pressurized member is formed of a material such as ceramic, the massage effect can be improved as far infrared rays are generated during the use of the massage module. However, it is not necessarily limited to such materials, and it is also possible to form it of other materials as long as it can provide a massage effect by transmitting heat to the user's body.

[0058] Additionally, the transport unit may be equipped with a transport motor member that moves the pressure member in the user's longitudinal direction (X). Additionally, the transport unit may be equipped with a transport member that reciprocates the pressure member in the longitudinal direction (X).

[0059] The transfer motor member is provided with a transfer shaft member that rotates when current is supplied, and the transfer member is connected to the transfer shaft member and transmits rotational force according to the rotation of the transfer shaft member to move the pressure member.

[0060] The transfer member is connected to the pressure member and is used to transfer the pressure member in one or the other direction along the user's longitudinal direction (X) depending on the forward or reverse rotation of the transfer motor member.

[0061] The transport member may be selectively used as a transport belt, transport chain, or transport rope, but is not limited thereto, and various means of transporting an object using the driving force of the transport motor member, such as a lead screw or a rack and pinion, may be used.

[0062] In addition, the driving unit is provided with a driving motor member that provides driving force so that the height direction (Z) position of the pressing member is adjusted, and the control unit controls the operation of the driving motor member to adjust the height direction (Z) position of the pressing member, thereby adjusting the degree to which the pressing member presses the user.

[0063] At this time, when the load-bearing frame (10) is in the first state (S1), the second support surface (12) must be arranged above the first support surface (11) in the height direction (Z). This configuration protects the thermal massage module installed on the lower side of the first support surface (11) of the main body (100) in the first state (S1), and allows the user to sit on the second support surface (12) of the auxiliary part (200) and feel the thermal effect when the heating member installed in the auxiliary part (200) is exposed to the outside in the first state (S1). In addition, when the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (12) are arranged in the height direction (Z), the longitudinal length of the load-bearing frame (10) is reduced, thereby improving the ease of storage.

[0064] In addition, when the load-bearing frame (10) is in the second state (S2), the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (12) are arranged in the longitudinal direction (X), thereby increasing the area that can support the user's body, thereby improving the convenience of use. In this state, the user's upper body is placed on the first support surface (11) of the main body (100) to receive a thermal massage through the thermal massage module, and the user's lower body is placed on the second support surface (12) of the auxiliary part (200) to provide a thermal effect to the lower body during the thermal massage process.

[0065] FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an auxiliary part provided in a load-bearing frame according to one embodiment of the present invention, showing a state in which the storage space is closed, and FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an auxiliary part provided in a load-bearing frame according to one embodiment of the present invention, showing a state in which the storage space is open.

[0066] As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the auxiliary part (200) is provided with a leg member (210) that extends along the height direction (Z), a door member (220) that opens and closes a storage space (a) provided in the leg member (210), and a door moving member (230) that moves the door member (220) so that the storage space (a) is opened and closed. That is, the door member (220) that opens and closes the storage space (a) provided in the leg member (210) is provided so that the sub-massage module can be inserted and stored, or extracted and used.

[0067] FIG. 5 is a side view showing a state in which an auxiliary part is arranged parallel to the ground in a closed state in a storage space provided in a load-supporting frame according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a side view showing a state in which a downward slope is formed in an auxiliary part in a closed state in a storage space provided in a load-supporting frame according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0068] At this time, the user can switch the usage status of the load-bearing frame (10) while the storage space (a) is closed in the process of using the load-bearing frame (10). That is, in the process of switching the usage status of the load-bearing frame (10), as shown in FIG. 5, a section is provided in which the auxiliary part (200) moves while being arranged parallel to the ground (g), and as shown in FIG. 6, a section is also provided in which the auxiliary part (200) moves while having a first downward slope (ΘD1) formed therein.

[0069] That is, in order for the use state of the load-bearing frame (10) to be stably switched, it is important to configure the door member (220) to be spaced apart from the ground (g) during the process of switching the use state, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

[0070] FIG. 7 is a side view showing a state in which an auxiliary part is arranged parallel to the ground in a state in which a storage space provided in a load-supporting frame according to one embodiment of the present invention is open, FIG. 8 is a side view showing a state in which a downward slope is formed in an auxiliary part in a state in which a storage space provided in a load-supporting frame according to one embodiment of the present invention is open, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which a downward slope is formed in an auxiliary part in a state in which a storage space provided in a load-supporting frame according to one embodiment of the present invention is open.

[0071] In addition, during the process of the user using the load-bearing frame (10), the use state of the load-bearing frame (10) can be switched to a state in which the storage space (a) is open. That is, during the process of switching the use state of the load-bearing frame (10), as illustrated in FIG. 7, a section in which the auxiliary part (200) moves while being arranged parallel to the ground (g) is provided, and as illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, a section in which the auxiliary part (200) moves while having a first downward slope (ΘD1) formed therein is also provided.

[0072] That is, in order for the use state of the load-bearing frame (10) to be stably switched, it is important to configure the door member (220) to be spaced apart from the ground (g) during the process of switching the use state, as illustrated in FIGS. 7 to 9. To this end, the door moving member (230) positions the door member (220) apart from the ground so that the use state can be switched between the first state (S1) and the second state (S2) while the storage space (a) is open.

[0073] That is, the load-bearing frame (10) equipped with a storage space according to one embodiment of the present invention can be used in a first state (S1) in which the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (12) supporting the load are arranged in the height direction (Z) and a second state (S2) in which the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (12) are arranged in the length direction (X), so that the load-bearing area is reduced during storage, making storage easy, and the thermal massage module arranged under the first support surface (11) of the main body (100) can be stably protected, and even in the storage state, a thermal effect can be provided to the user through the heating member provided on the second support surface (12), and when in use, the load-bearing area is increased, improving the convenience of use, and the auxiliary member (200) is provided with a leg member so that the user's body load can also be stably supported.

[0074] In addition, a door member (220) for opening and closing a storage space (a) provided in a leg member (210) is provided so that a sub-massage module can be inserted and stored, or withdrawn and used. Since a door moving member (230) is provided so that the door member (220) is spaced apart from the ground (g) even when the storage space (a) is open, the use state can be switched while the storage space (a) is open, and the degree of opening of the storage space (a) can be expanded, thereby improving user convenience.

[0075] At this time, the door moving member (230) can move the door member (220) so that the extension line (ELO) connecting the lower end of the door member (220) and the lower end of the leg member (210) is arranged to be inclined upward from the ground (g) while the storage space (a) is open.

[0076] That is, as illustrated in FIG. 3, when the storage space (a) is closed, the extension line (ELC) connecting the lower end of the door member (220) and the lower end of the leg member (210) is arranged to be inclined so as to form an upward extension slope (ΘEC) from the ground (g), so that the state of use can be switched while the storage space (a) is closed while the door member (220) is arranged apart from the ground (g).

[0077] In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the extension line (ELO) connecting the lower end of the door member (220) and the lower end of the leg member (210) in the open state of the storage space (a) is arranged to be inclined so as to form an upward extension slope (ΘEO) from the ground (g), so that the state of use can be switched while the door member (220) is arranged apart from the ground (g) and the storage space (a) is open.

[0078] FIG. 10 is a side view showing a state in which an auxiliary part is arranged parallel to the ground in a closed state in a storage space provided in a load-supporting frame according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a side view showing a state in which a downward slope is formed in an auxiliary part in a closed state in a storage space provided in a load-supporting frame according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0079] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the door moving member (230) may include a base frame (231) that provides a movement path so that the door member (220) moves along the perimeter of a first concentric circle (CC1) centered on a virtual reference point (SP) located outside the leg member (210).

[0080] In this way, when the door member (220) is configured to move along the circumference of the first concentric circle (CC1) centered on the virtual reference point (SP) located outside the leg member (210) through the base frame (231), the door member (220) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) and the height direction (Z) as the storage space (a) is opened, and as illustrated in FIG. 4, the door member (220) can be spaced apart from the ground (g) while the storage space (a) is open.

[0081] Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the door member (220) moves along the perimeter of a first concentric circle (CC1) centered on a virtual reference point (SP) located outside the leg member (210) through the base frame (231), thereby opening the storage space (a), and the door member (220) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) and the height direction (Z), and as illustrated in FIG. 11, the door member (220) can be spaced apart from the ground (g) in a state where the storage space (a) is open.

[0082] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a base frame (231) according to one embodiment of the present invention may be provided with a base rail (231a) that provides a movement path of a door member (220), and the door member (220) may be provided with a door guide (221) that moves along the base rail (231a).

[0083] As described above, the base rail (231a) is arranged along the circumference of the first concentric circle (CC1) centered on the virtual reference point (SP) located outside the leg member (210), and the door guide (221) provided in the door member (220) is configured to move along the base rail (231a), thereby enabling stable movement of the door member (220), and when the storage space (a) is opened, the door member (220) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) and the height direction (Z), so that the door member (220) can be spaced apart from the ground (g) while the storage space (a) is opened.

[0084] Alternatively, as illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, a base rail (231a) providing a movement path of the door member (220) may be arranged along the perimeter of a first concentric circle (CC1) centered on a virtual reference point (SP) located outside the leg member (210) in the base frame (231) according to another embodiment of the present invention, and the door member (220) may be provided with a door guide (221) that moves along the base rail (231a). With this configuration, not only can the door member (220) move stably, but the door member (220) can be moved in the longitudinal direction (X) and the height direction (Z) in the process of opening the storage space (a), so that the door member (220) can be spaced apart from the ground (g) in a state where the storage space (a) is opened.

[0085] As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the door guide (221) includes a plurality of unit door guides (221a), and the plurality of unit door guides (221a) can be arranged along the periphery of a first concentric circle (CC1) having the same curvature as the base rail (231a).

[0086] In this way, when a plurality of unit door guides (221a) are configured to move along the base rail (231a), the door member (220) is supported at multiple locations on the base rail (231a) when the door member (220) moves, thereby enabling stable movement.

[0087] In particular, these multiple unit door guides (221a) are arranged along the perimeter of the first concentric circle (CC1) having the same curvature as the base rail (231a), thereby enabling smooth movement during the movement of the door member (220).

[0088] As illustrated in FIG. 3, a virtual reference point (SP) used in a load-bearing frame (10) according to one embodiment of the present invention may be spaced apart by a first distance (d1) along the longitudinal direction (X) in the direction in which the door member (220) is opened from the center of gravity (K) of the door member (220) in a closed state of the storage space (a), and if configured in this manner, the door member (220) can be easily moved even if the user does not apply a large force when opening the door member (220).

[0089] In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 10, a virtual reference point (SP) used in a load-bearing frame (10) according to another embodiment of the present invention may be spaced apart by a first distance (d1) along the longitudinal direction (X) in the direction in which the door member (220) is opened from the center of gravity (K) of the door member (220) when the storage space (a) is closed, and if configured in this way, the door member (220) can be easily moved even if the user does not apply a large force when opening the door member (220).

[0090] As illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the door moving member (230) may further include a fluid damper (232) that reduces the opening and closing speed of the door member (220). For example, the fluid damper (232) may be a gas spring, but any configuration that can assist the force that must be applied to open the door member (220) may be used.

[0091] Additionally, these fluid dampers (232) can reduce the moving speed of the door member (220) to prevent the door member (220) from colliding with the leg member (210) while moving rapidly by gravity during the closing process.

[0092] In addition, since the door member (220) is supported by the fluid damper (232), the degree of opening of the storage space (a) is expanded, thereby improving user convenience.

[0093] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, one end of the fluid damper (232) may be fixed to the base frame (231), and the other end of the fluid damper (232) may be fixed to the door member (220). One side of the fluid damper (232) may be fixed to the base frame (231) in a hinged manner, and with this configuration, the door member (220) may be moved stably as the inclination of the fluid damper (232) changes during the movement of the door member (220).

[0094] In addition, the other side of the fluid damper (232) can also be hinge-fastened to the door member (220), and if configured in this way, the door member (220) can rotate relative to the other side of the fluid damper (232) during the movement of the door member (220), thereby enabling smooth movement of the door member (220).

[0095] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the other end of the fluid damper (232) may be spaced apart from one end of the fluid damper (232) by a second distance (d2) in the longitudinal direction (X) in the direction in which the door member (220) is opened, when the storage space (a) is closed. With this configuration, the door member (220) can be easily moved even when the user does not apply a large force when opening the door member (220), and interference with the fluid damper (232) when opening the door member (220) can be prevented.

[0096] As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, the door moving member (230) may further include a sub-frame (233) that is positioned above the base frame (231) in the height direction (Z) and provides a movement path so that the door member (220) moves along the perimeter of a second concentric circle (CC2) centered on a virtual reference point (SP) located outside the leg member (210).

[0097] In this way, when the door member (220) is configured to move along the circumference of a second concentric circle (CC2) centered on a virtual reference point (SP) located outside the leg member (210) through the subframe (233), the door member (220) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) and the height direction (Z) as the storage space (a) is opened, and the door member (220) can be positioned apart from the ground (g) while the storage space (a) is open.

[0098] In addition, since this second concentric circle (CC2) is centered on the same virtual reference point (SP) as the first concentric circle (CC1), interference between the door member (220) and the sub-frame (233) is prevented during the process of the door member (220) moving through the base frame (231), thereby enabling smooth movement of the door member (220).

[0099] As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the sub-frame (233) may be provided with a sub-rail (233a) that provides a movement path of the door member (220), and the door member (220) may be provided with a sub-door guide (222) that moves along the sub-rail (233a).

[0100] As described above, these sub-rails (233a) are arranged along the perimeter of the second concentric circle (CC2) centered on the virtual reference point (SP) located outside the leg member (210), and the sub-door guide (222) provided in the door member (220) is configured to move along the sub-rail (233a), thereby enabling stable movement of the door member (220), and when the storage space (a) is opened, the door member (220) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) and the height direction (Z), so that the door member (220) can be spaced apart from the ground (g) while the storage space (a) is opened.

[0101] In addition, as described above, since this second concentric circle (CC2) is centered on the same virtual reference point (SP) as the first concentric circle (CC1), interference between the door member (220) and the sub rail (233a) is prevented during the process of the door member (220) moving through the base rail (231a), thereby enabling smooth movement of the door member (220).

[0102] FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a modified example of a door moving member provided in a load-bearing frame according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0103] As illustrated in FIG. 12, the door moving member (230) may include a bending base frame (234) that provides a movement path so that the door member (220) can be opened while moving upward. This bending base frame (234) moves the door member (220) in the longitudinal direction (X) and the height direction (Z), thereby enabling the door member (220) to be spaced apart from the ground (g) while the storage space (a) is open.

[0104] As illustrated in Fig. 12, the bending base frame (234) may be provided with a first bending rail (234a) having a first opening slope (ΘG1) and a second bending rail (234b) having a second opening slope (ΘG2). That is, when the storage space (a) is opened, the door member (220) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) and the height direction (Z) while sequentially moving the first bending rail (234a) and the second bending rail (234b).

[0105] As illustrated in Fig. 12, the first opening slope (ΘG1) may be formed to be greater than the second opening slope (ΘG2). At this time, the distance that the door member (220) moves in the height direction (Z) may be formed to be relatively greater than the distance that it moves in the longitudinal direction (X) in the process of moving along the first bending rail (234a). With this configuration, even if the use state of the load-bearing frame (10) is switched between the first state (S1) and the second state (S2) in the open state of the storage space (a), interference between the door member (220) and the ground (g) may be prevented. In addition, the distance that the door member (220) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) may be formed to be relatively greater than the distance that it moves in the height direction (Z) in the process of moving along the second bending rail (234b). By configuring it in this way, the storage space (a) can be sufficiently opened as the door member (220) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) while the storage space (a) is partially opened along the first bending rail (234a), and when the storage space (a) is sufficiently opened, user convenience is improved.

[0106] FIG. 13 is a side view illustrating a modified example of a door moving member provided in a load-bearing frame according to another embodiment of the present invention.

[0107] As illustrated in FIG. 13, the door moving member (230) may further include a bending sub-frame (235) that is arranged above the height direction (Z) of the bending base frame (234) to provide a movement path so that the door member (220) can be opened while moving upward. The bending sub-frame (235) may also be provided with a first bending sub-rail (235a) and a second bending sub-rail (235b), and the angles of the first bending sub-rail (235a) and the second bending sub-rail (235b) may be configured so that interference does not occur between the door member (220) and the bending sub-frame (235) during the process in which the door member (220) moves along the first bending rail (234a) and the second bending rail (234b). For example, the angle of the first bending sub-rail (235a) and the second bending sub-rail (235b) may be formed to be the same as the angle of the first bending rail (234a) and the second bending rail (234b), but is not necessarily limited thereto and may be varied in various ways according to design specifications.

[0108] Figures 14 to 17 are cross-sectional views sequentially illustrating a process in which a load-bearing frame according to another embodiment of the present invention is switched from a first state to a second state in use.

[0109] As shown in FIGS. 14 to 17, a first downward slope (ΘD1) can be formed along the height direction (Z) on the second support surface (12) so that the auxiliary part (200) moves downward during the process of moving in the longitudinal direction (X).

[0110] At this time, the main body (100) may be provided with a main support rail (110) that provides a movement path of the auxiliary body (200) and an auxiliary support roller (120) that supports the load of the auxiliary body (200). The auxiliary body (200) is provided with a main support roller (240) that is connected to the main body (100) and an auxiliary support rail (250) that is supported by the main body (100). The main support roller (240) may be arranged to move along the main support rail (110) provided in the main body (100), and the auxiliary support rail (250) may be supported by the auxiliary support roller (120) provided in the main body (100).

[0111] The main support rail (110) may be provided with a first main guide section (111) horizontally arranged in the longitudinal direction (X). In addition, the main support rail (110) may be provided with a second main guide section (112) having a downward slope formed so that the main support roller (240) moves downward when the use state is switched from the second state (S2) to the first state (S1). With this configuration, when the switch to the first state (S1) is completed, the main support roller (240) moves downward along the second main guide section (112), so that the second state (S2) can be stably maintained without being arbitrarily released. In addition, the main support rail (110) may be provided with a third main guide section (113) having a downward slope formed so that the main support roller (240) moves downward when the use state is switched from the first state (S1) to the second state (S2), thereby enabling stable use as the second support surface (12) is extended in the longitudinal direction (X) with the first support surface (11) in the second state (S2).

[0112] These auxiliary support rails (250) may be provided with a first-first auxiliary guide section (251a) that moves the auxiliary part (200) downward so that the auxiliary part (200) spaced apart from the ground (g) is settled on the ground (g) during the process of moving the auxiliary part (200) in the longitudinal direction (X) to switch the use state of the auxiliary part (200). That is, when the use state is switched from the first state (S1) in which the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (12) supporting the load are arranged in the height direction (Z) to the second state (S2) in which the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (12) are arranged in the length direction (X), it is important for the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (12) to be arranged horizontally for the convenience of the user, and when the first-first auxiliary guide section (251a) is provided on the auxiliary support rail (250), in the first state (S1), the auxiliary part (200) is spaced from the ground (g), but in the second state (S2), the auxiliary part (200) is settled on the ground (g), so that the position in the height direction (Z) of the second support surface (12) can be easily adjusted.

[0113] As described above, in the process of the auxiliary part (200) moving downward through the 1-1 auxiliary guide section (251a), a first downward slope (ΘD1) is formed in the auxiliary part (200), and even when the storage space (a) is open, the door member (220) is spaced apart from the ground (g) through the door moving member (230), so that the transition between use states can be smoothly performed.

[0114] At this time, the auxiliary support rail (250) may be provided with a 1-2 auxiliary guide section (251b) extending from the 1-1 auxiliary guide section (251a), and this 1-2 auxiliary guide section (251b) may be extended from the 1-1 auxiliary guide section (251a) so that when the auxiliary part (200) moves further in the longitudinal direction (X) while the leg member (210) is secured to the ground (g), the first downward slope (θD1) of the second support surface (12) is maintained constant. That is, when the auxiliary part (200) moves in the longitudinal direction (X) through the 1-1 auxiliary guide section (251a) of the auxiliary support rail (250) and the leg member (210) is settled on the ground (g), the first downward slope (θD1) of the second support surface (12) of the auxiliary part (200) is constantly fixed, and in this state, the auxiliary part (200) moves further in the longitudinal direction (X) through the 1-2 auxiliary guide section (251b) of the auxiliary support rail (250) so that interference between the auxiliary part (200) and the first support surface (11) does not occur. This 1-2 auxiliary guide section (251b) can form the 1st auxiliary guide section (251) together with the 1-1 auxiliary guide section (251a) described above.

[0115] That is, the maximum downward slope is formed on the second support surface (12) of the auxiliary part (200) at the boundary between the 1-1 auxiliary guide section (251a) and the 1-2 auxiliary guide section (251b), and even in this state, the door member (220) is arranged to be spaced apart from the ground (g), thereby enabling smooth movement. In particular, even when the storage space (a) is open, the door member (220) is arranged to be spaced apart from the ground, thereby enabling smooth transition of the use state, thereby improving user convenience.

[0116] Additionally, the auxiliary support rail (250) may be provided with a second auxiliary guide section (252) so that the second support surface (12) is arranged parallel to the ground (g) when the main support roller (240) moves downward along the second main guide section (112).

[0117] For example, this second auxiliary guide section (252) can be arranged parallel to the ground (g), and when the second auxiliary guide section (252) is provided, the second support surface (12) is arranged parallel to the ground (g), so that the user can sit on the second support surface (12) in the first state (S1) and feel the thermal effect while using the load-bearing frame (10).

[0118] In addition, as described above, the main support rail (110) may be provided with a third main guide section (113) having a downward slope formed so that the main support roller (240) moves downward when the use state is switched from the first state (S1) to the second state (S2), and the auxiliary support rail (250) may be provided with a third auxiliary guide section (253) so that the second support surface (12) is extended in the longitudinal direction (X) of the first support surface (11) when the main support roller (240) moves downward along the third main guide section (113).

[0119] That is, in order to enable stable use in the second state (S2), the second support surface (12) needs to be extended in the longitudinal direction (X) from the first support surface (11), and for this purpose, the main support rail (110) is provided with a third main guide section (113) having a downward slope. That is, when the main support roller (240) of the auxiliary part (200) passes through the third main guide section (113), the height of the auxiliary part (200) is lowered. At this time, in order for the height of the auxiliary part (200) to be lowered, a section in which the height of the auxiliary part (200) can be lowered is also required in the auxiliary support rail (250) supported by the auxiliary support roller (120). As described above, when the third auxiliary guide section (253) is provided, interference by the auxiliary support roller (120) is prevented when the height of the auxiliary part (200) is lowered while the main support roller (240) passes through the third main guide section (113), so that the height of the auxiliary part (200) is smoothly lowered, and the second support surface (12) can be extended and arranged in the longitudinal direction (X) of the first support surface (11) in the second state (S2).

[0120] As described above, the load-bearing frame (10) equipped with a storage space according to one embodiment of the present invention can be used in a first state (S1) in which the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (12) supporting the load are arranged in the height direction (Z) and a second state (S2) in which the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (12) are arranged in the length direction (X), so that the load-bearing area is reduced during storage, making storage easy, and the thermal massage module arranged under the first support surface (11) of the main body (100) can be stably protected, and even in the storage state, a thermal effect can be provided to the user through the heating member provided on the second support surface (12), and when in use, the load-bearing area is increased, improving the convenience of use, and the auxiliary member (200) is provided with a leg member so that the user's body load can also be stably supported.

[0121] In addition, a door member (220) for opening and closing a storage space (a) provided in a leg member (210) is provided so that a sub-massage module can be inserted and stored, or withdrawn and used. Since a door moving member (230) is provided so that the door member (220) is spaced apart from the ground (g) even when the storage space (a) is open, the use state can be switched while the storage space (a) is open, and the degree of opening of the storage space (a) can be expanded, thereby improving user convenience.

[0122] Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described, the spirit of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments presented in this specification, and those skilled in the art who understand the spirit of the present invention will be able to easily propose other embodiments by adding, changing, deleting, or adding components within the scope of the same spirit, but this will also be considered to fall within the spirit of the present invention.
