Description

Massage device with anti-jamming function

[0001] The present invention relates to a massage device, and more particularly, to a massage device having an anti-jamming function.

[0002] Traditionally, spinal thermal massage devices have been widely used to alleviate acute or chronic pain in the muscles and nerve tissues of the spine caused by prolonged work in an improper posture or by habitually maintaining such postures, to improve blood circulation in the body, or to relieve momentary muscle stiffness, by moving along the body and applying thermal stimulation to the painful area to improve blood flow.

[0003] Korean Patent Publication No. 2012-0118398, filed by the applicant, discloses a conventional massage device. This massage device comprises a body in which a thermal therapy device is provided, and a lower bed member that slides or overlaps from the body to change the length of the entire device. That is, the user uses the device by lying down on the body (supporting the upper body) and the lower bed member (supporting the lower body) after unfolding the lower bed member, or by sitting on the lower bed member with the lower bed member overlapping the upper part of the body. When the massage device is used in the lying position, the body and the lower bed member are arranged parallel to form a 180° angle, allowing the user to lie down with their back completely straight (the spine is straightened with an upward curve). Therefore, during the massage, the thermal therapy device enables acupressure and traction to lift the user's spine. However, when used in a sitting position, the lower bed member is placed on the upper part of the body, so the thermal treatment device equipped on the body cannot be used, and there is a limitation that only thermal stimulation can be provided through the heating device equipped on the lower bed member.

[0004] Furthermore, Korean Patent Publication No. 2023-0083011, filed by the applicant, discloses a conventional massage device. This massage device features a rotatably arranged backrest supporting the user's upper body, allowing the device to be switched between a first state in which the user is seated and a second state in which the user is lying down. However, the device has a limitation in that it does not disclose a configuration that prevents the backrest and the frame supporting it from becoming jammed during the transition from the first state to the second state.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need to develop technologies that can solve these problems.

[0040] 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.

[0041] 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.

[0042] 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.

[0043] 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.

[0044] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a massage device having an anti-jamming function according to one embodiment of the present invention, wherein the auxiliary part is arranged on the upper part of the main body, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a massage device having an anti-jamming function according to one embodiment of the present invention, wherein the second support surface of the auxiliary part and the first support surface of the main body are arranged in parallel, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a massage device having an anti-jamming function according to one embodiment of the present invention, wherein the second support surface of the auxiliary part and the first support surface of the main body are arranged at an angle. Here, the X direction means the length direction, the Y direction means the width direction, and the Z direction means the height direction with respect to the ground. In order to clearly describe the present invention, parts that are not related to the description are omitted from the drawings.

[0045] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, a massage device equipped with an anti-jamming function according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a main body (10) equipped with a first support surface (11) for supporting a user's upper body, a massage module (12) for massaging the user's upper body while moving along the first support surface (11), and an auxiliary body (20) equipped with a second support surface (21) for supporting the user's lower body.

[0046] This massage module (12) is provided on the lower part of the first support surface (11) of the main body (10) to provide a thermal massage effect. The massage module (12) may be provided with a pressing part having a pressing member to pressurize a user, a driving part having a driving motor member that provides a driving force so that the height direction position of the pressing member can be adjusted, a transport part having a transport motor member that provides a driving force so that the body part moves along the longitudinal direction, and a control part that controls the operation of each part.

[0047] The pressure member provided in this massage module (12) 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.

[0048] 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.

[0049] 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).

[0050] 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.

[0051] 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).

[0052] 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.

[0053] 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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.

[0056] At this time, as illustrated in Fig. 1, when the auxiliary part (20) is arranged on the upper part of the main body part (10), the second support surface (21) must be arranged on the upper side in the height direction (Z) of the first support surface (11). This configuration protects the massage module (12) installed on the lower part of the first support surface (11) of the main body part (10), and allows the user to sit on the second support surface (21) of the auxiliary part (20) and feel the thermal effect as the heating member installed in the auxiliary part (20) is exposed to the outside. In addition, when the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (21) are arranged in the height direction (Z), the longitudinal length of the massage device is reduced, thereby improving the ease of storage.

[0057] In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 2, when the second support surface (21) of the auxiliary part (20) and the first support surface (11) of the main body part (10) are arranged in parallel, the area that can support the user's body increases as the first support surface (11) and the second support surface (21) are arranged in the longitudinal direction (X), 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 part (10) to receive a thermal massage through the massage module (12), and the user's lower body is placed on the second support surface (21) of the auxiliary part (20) to provide a thermal effect to the lower body in the process of receiving a thermal massage.

[0058] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the main body (10) includes a main body tilting frame (100) hinged so that the first support surface (11) is arranged parallel to the second support surface (21) in a first state (S1) and the first support surface (11) is arranged at an angle to the second support surface (21) in a second state (S2), and a main body support frame (200) hinged so that the main body tilting frame (100) can rotate.

[0059] That is, through the rotational motion of the main body tilting frame (100), it is possible to switch between a first state (S1) in which the first support surface (11) is arranged parallel to the second support surface (21) and a second state (S2) in which the first support surface (11) is arranged at an angle to the second support surface (21). This main body tilting frame (100) is hinge-fixed to the main body support frame (200) so as to be rotatable.

[0060] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of part Ⅰ-Ⅰ of FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a rear view of a massage device equipped with an anti-jamming function according to one embodiment of the present invention, which is a drawing showing a second state in which the second support surface of the auxiliary part and the first support surface of the main body part are arranged at an angle.

[0061] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the tilting driving unit (300) includes a tilting rod member (310) disposed inside the main body support frame (200), one side of which is hinge-fixed to the main body support frame (200) and the other side of which is hinge-fixed to the main body tilting frame (100), and a tilting driving member (320) that provides a driving force so that the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100) is adjusted.

[0062] For example, the tilting rod member (310) may be a cylinder, and the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100) is adjusted by a change in the length of the cylinder rod that is drawn out from the cylinder housing. However, the tilting rod member (310) is not necessarily limited to a cylinder, and may be another configuration, such as a linear guide, as long as it has a configuration that can adjust the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100).

[0063] In addition, the tilting drive member (320) provides a driving force to change the length of the tilting rod member (310). For example, if the tilting rod member (310) is a cylinder, it may be a hydraulic pump or a pneumatic pump for supplying a working fluid inside the cylinder. However, the tilting drive member (320) is not necessarily limited to a hydraulic pump or a pneumatic pump, and may have various configurations, such as a driving motor that can operate the tilting rod member (310) when it is a linear guide.

[0064] When the tilting drive unit (300) is provided in this way, it becomes easy to adjust the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100), thereby improving user convenience.

[0065] FIG. 6 is a plan view of a massage device having an anti-jamming function according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing illustrating a main body support frame and a tilting driving unit; FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a massage device having an anti-jamming function according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing illustrating a state in which an auxiliary unit is arranged on an upper portion of the main body; FIG. 8 is a plan view of a massage device having an anti-jamming function according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing illustrating a main body support frame; FIG. 9 is a plan view of a massage device having an anti-jamming function according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing illustrating a modified example of the main body support frame; and FIG. 10 is a side view of a massage device having an anti-jamming function according to an embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing illustrating an insertion groove provided in the main body support frame.

[0066] As shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, the main body support frame (200) may be provided with an insertion groove (210) that is formed to be sunken along the height direction (Z) so that a tilting rod member (310) and a tilting drive member (320) are inserted.

[0067] That is, it is important to configure the tilting drive unit (300) to operate during the process of adjusting the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100), so that a jamming problem due to interference between the main body tilting frame (100) and the main body support frame (200) does not occur. To this end, if an insertion groove (210) is provided in the main body support frame (200) that is recessed along the height direction (Z) so that the tilting rod member (310) and the tilting drive member (320) are inserted, such a jamming problem can be prevented.

[0068] That is, since an insertion groove (210) is formed in the main body support frame (200), even if a remote control or other various objects fall into the main body support frame (200), such objects are inserted into the insertion groove (210), so that when adjusting the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100), the problem of the massage device or objects being caught between the main body tilting frame (100) and the main body support frame (200) can be effectively prevented from being damaged.

[0069] This insertion groove (210) is formed in a size such that the tilting rod member (310) and the tilting drive member (320) can be inserted into the main body support frame (200) based on the first state (S1), and the remaining portion of the main body support frame (200) excluding this insertion groove (210) can be configured flat without forming the insertion groove (210). It is also possible to form a frame support surface (220) to be described later on the remaining portion of this main body support frame (200).

[0070] As shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the insertion groove (210) may include a main insertion groove (211) into which a portion of the tilting rod member (310) and the tilting drive member (320) are inserted, and a sub insertion groove (212) into which the remaining portion of the tilting rod member (310) is inserted.

[0071] That is, the tilting drive member (320) is sized to be able to adjust the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100) through the tilting rod member (310) while supporting the user's load, and if the tilting drive member (320) is configured to be inserted into the main insertion groove (211), the problem of being caught when adjusting the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100) can be effectively prevented.

[0072] In addition, when a part of the tilting rod member (310) is configured to be inserted into the main insertion groove (211), not only does it become easy to supply driving force to the tilting rod member (310) through the tilting drive member (320) as the tilting drive member (320) and a part of the tilting rod member (310) are positioned adjacent to each other, but also the remaining part of the tilting rod member (310) is inserted into the sub insertion groove (212), effectively preventing the occurrence of a jamming problem when adjusting the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100).

[0073] At this time, the main insertion groove (211) may be provided with a main base surface (211a) to which one side of the tilting rod member (310) is hinge-fixed, and a tilting cover (330) to be described later may be hinge-fixed to this main base surface (211a).

[0074] As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the tilting driving member (320) is arranged along the width direction (Y), and the main insertion groove (211) can be formed to extend in the width direction (Y) so that the tilting driving member (320) is inserted.

[0075] At this time, in order to adjust the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100), it is preferable that the tilting rod member (310) be connected to the central portion in the width direction (Y) of the main body tilting frame (100). This configuration makes it easy to adjust the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100) using a single tilting rod member (310).

[0076] In addition, in the process of adjusting the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100), it is important to configure the main body tilting frame (100) so that it does not tilt to any one side along the width direction (Y), and for this purpose, the center of the main body tilting frame (100) in the width direction (Y) is maintained using the tilting cover (330) described later. One side of the tilting cover (330) is hinge-fixed to the main body support frame (200) in a state where it is extended in the width direction (Y), and it is preferable to hinge-fix the main body support frame (200) at at least two or more positions so that it does not tilt to any one side along the width direction (Y) during the process of adjusting the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100). A detailed configuration thereof will be described later.

[0077] As described above, it is preferable that the main insertion groove (211) is also extended in the width direction (Y) so that one side of the tilting cover (330) can be inserted into the main insertion groove (211) while being extended in the width direction (Y), and if the tilting drive member (320) is also arranged along the width direction (Y), it becomes easier to insert into the main insertion groove (211), thereby improving the degree of design freedom.

[0078] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the sub-insertion groove (212) may be provided with a sub-base surface (212a) that is positioned adjacent to the tilting rod member (310) in the first state (S1).

[0079] This first state (S1) is a state in which the first support surface (11) of the main body (10) and the second support surface (21) of the auxiliary part (20) are arranged in parallel, and as described above, when the sub-base surface (212a) adjacent to the tilting rod member (310) is provided in the sub-insertion groove (212) in this first state (S1), even if the tilting rod member (310) is arranged at the lowest side in the height direction (Z), interference can be effectively prevented from occurring during the process of inserting the tilting rod member (310) into the sub-insertion groove (212), and in addition, the height at which the tilting drive unit (300) is arranged along the height direction (Z) in the first state (S1) can be minimized, thereby making it possible to slim down the massage device.

[0080] FIG. 11 is a side view of a massage device equipped with an anti-jamming function according to one embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing illustrating a first modified example of an insertion groove provided in a main body support frame.

[0081] As illustrated in Fig. 11, a first slope (Θ1) extending upward in one direction of the length (X) may be formed on the sub-base surface (212a). With this configuration, even if an object falls on the main body support frame (200), the object moves along the sub-base surface (212a) to the main base surface (211a) by the first slope (Θ1), thereby effectively preventing damage to the massage device or object due to the occurrence of a problem of the main body tilting frame (100) and the main body support frame (200) being caught each other when adjusting the slope of the main body tilting frame (100).

[0082] FIG. 12 is a side view of a massage device equipped with an anti-jamming function according to one embodiment of the present invention, and is a drawing illustrating a second modified example of an insertion groove equipped in a main body support frame.

[0083] As illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 12, the sub-base surface (212a) may include at least one unit base surface (212a') arranged such that the height increases along the longitudinal direction (X).

[0084] At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 10, one side of the longitudinal direction (X) of the unit base surface (212a') may be arranged higher than the other side, or as illustrated in FIG. 12, the unit base surface (212a') may be arranged in a stepped manner (the heights of one side and the other side of the longitudinal direction of the unit base surface (212a') may be maintained the same).

[0085] By configuring it in this way, even if an object falls on the main body support frame (200), the object is placed on the unit base surface (212a'), and when the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100) is adjusted, the problem of the main body tilting frame (100) and the main body support frame (200) becoming caught between each other can be effectively prevented, thereby preventing damage to the massage device or the object.

[0086] As illustrated in Fig. 10, the unit base surface (212a') may be formed to be recessed in the height direction (Z) relative to an extension line (EL) connecting one side and the other side in the longitudinal direction (X). By configuring it in this way, it is possible to more effectively prevent an object inserted on the unit base surface (212a') from being damaged while being pressed against the main body tilting frame (100).

[0087] At this time, the unit base surface (212a') may be provided with a curved surface that curves downward along the height direction (Z) and a horizontal surface whose height is maintained constant. That is, as the object moves downward along the curved surface, the object that falls can be prevented from being damaged by the height difference, and the object that falls is placed on the horizontal surface and does not move to a deeper place, making it easier to retrieve the object later.

[0088] As illustrated in Fig. 8, the corner (E2) of the unit base surface (212a') can be positioned to correspond to the corner (E1) of the main insertion groove (211).

[0089] By configuring it in this way, the main insertion groove (211) and the sub insertion groove (212) can be arranged in a consistent alignment, so that the size of the insertion groove (210) can be optimized, thereby miniaturizing the massage device.

[0090] As illustrated in Fig. 8, the corners (E2) of the adjacently arranged unit base surfaces (212a') can be arranged so that the width direction (Y) length increases as one goes toward the other side in the length direction (X).

[0091] By configuring it in this way, the width direction (Y) length of the unit base surface (212a') increases as it goes in the length direction (X), so that the width direction (Y) area into which an object can be inserted becomes wider, thereby more effectively preventing an object inserted on the unit base surface (212a') from being damaged by being pressed against the main body tilting frame (100).

[0092] Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the corners (E2) of the adjacently arranged unit base surfaces (212a') may be arranged so that the width direction (Y) length decreases as it goes toward the other side in the length direction (X).

[0093] When the insertion groove (210) is configured in this way, even if an object falls on the main body support frame (200), the object is inserted into the insertion groove (210), and when the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100) is adjusted, not only will the problem of the main body tilting frame (100) and the main body support frame (200) not occur, but also the width direction (Y) length of the unit base surface (212a') decreases as it goes toward the length direction (X), so that the area of ​​the frame support surface (220) to be described later can be sufficiently secured, thereby enabling stable support of the main body tilting frame (100).

[0094] At this time, the corners (E2) of the mutually adjacent unit base surfaces (212a') may be arranged so that the width direction (Y) length becomes constant as one goes toward the other side of the length direction (X), and even if configured in this way, the area of ​​the frame support surface (220) described later can be sufficiently secured, thereby enabling stable support of the main body tilting frame (100).

[0095] As illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 10, the sub insertion groove (212) may be provided with side base surfaces (212b) arranged on both sides of the width direction (Y) of the sub base surface (212a). When the side base surfaces (212b) are provided in this manner, objects falling on both sides of the width direction (Y) can move downward along the side base surfaces (212b) into the insertion groove (210), thereby more effectively preventing such objects from being damaged while being pressed against the main body tilting frame (100).

[0096] As illustrated in Fig. 10, the height of the side base surface (212b) can be formed to be the same as the height of the sub-base surface (212a). With this configuration, the sub-base surface (212a) and the side base surface (212b) can be aligned evenly, thereby improving design ease, and the size of the insertion groove (210) can be optimized, thereby miniaturizing the massage device.

[0097] At this time, when the sub-base surface (212a) includes a plurality of unit base surfaces (212a'), the side base surface (212b) may also include a plurality of unit side surfaces (212b') extending from each unit base surface (212a').

[0098] As illustrated in FIG. 7, the tilting rod member (310) includes a tilting rod (311) whose one side is hingedly fixed to the main body tilting frame (100) and a rod housing (312) into which the other side of the tilting rod (311) is inserted, and the tilting driving member (320) can provide a driving force so that the length by which the tilting rod (311) is pulled out from the rod housing (312) is adjusted.

[0099] As described above, one side of the tilting rod (311) is hinge-fixed to the main body tilting frame (100) so that the main body tilting frame (100) can be stably supported even when the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100) is adjusted, and the other side of the tilting rod (311) is inserted and positioned in the rod housing (312) so that the driving force applied through the tilting driving member (320) is adjusted so that the length of the tilting rod (311) drawn out from the rod housing (312) is adjusted, thereby adjusting the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100).

[0100] For example, if the tilting rod member (310) is a cylinder, the tilting rod (311) may be a cylinder rod, and the rod housing (312) may be a cylinder housing. That is, the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100) is adjusted by a change in the length by which the cylinder rod is drawn out from the cylinder housing. In this case, the tilting drive member (320) may be a hydraulic pump or a pneumatic pump for supplying working fluid to the inside of the cylinder.

[0101] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the tilting drive unit (300) further includes a tilting cover (330) that simultaneously surrounds the tilting rod member (310) and the tilting drive member (320), and the tilting drive member (320) can be integrally disposed with the tilting rod member (310) so as to rotate together with the tilting rod member (310).

[0102] That is, since the tilting drive member (320) is integrally arranged with the tilting rod member (310) so as to rotate together with the tilting rod member (310), it becomes easy to apply driving force to the tilting rod member (310), and since the tilting cover (330) is arranged to simultaneously cover the tilting rod member (310) and the tilting drive member (320), the tilting drive member (320) and the tilting rod member (310) can be manufactured integrally through a sub-assembly process and installed in a massage device, thereby improving workability.

[0103] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, one side of the tilting cover (330) is hinge-fixed to the main body support frame (200), and the other side of the tilting cover (330) can rotate together with the tilting rod member (310). At this time, one side of the tilting cover (330) can be hinge-fixed to the main base surface (211a) provided in the main insertion groove (211).

[0104] As described above, in order to adjust the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100), it is preferable that the tilting rod member (310) be connected to the central portion of the main body tilting frame (100) in the width direction (Y). This is to prevent the main body tilting frame (100) from tilting to one side along the width direction (Y) during the process of adjusting the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100).

[0105] At this time, one side of the tilting cover (330) is hinge-fixed to the main body support frame (200), and the other side of the tilting cover (330) is configured to be able to rotate together with the tilting rod member (310), so that the center of the width direction (Y) of the main body tilting frame (100) can be maintained using the tilting cover (330).

[0106] That is, one side of the tilting cover (330) is hingedly fixed to the main body support frame (200) in a state where it is extended in the width direction (Y), and can be hingedly fixed to the main body support frame (200) at at least two positions so as not to tilt to one side along the width direction (Y) during the process of adjusting the inclination of the main body tilting frame (100).

[0107] As shown in Fig. 8, the main body support frame (200) is provided with a frame support surface (220) that supports the lower surface of the main body tilting frame (100), and the insertion groove (210) can be formed by being recessed from the frame support surface (220).

[0108] That is, the frame support surface (220) provided in the main body support frame (200) is configured to support the lower surface of the main body tilting frame (100). This enables the user's load to be stably supported.

[0109] At this time, an insertion groove (210) formed by recessing from the frame support surface (220) is provided, and a tilting rod member (310) and a tilting drive member (320) are inserted into this insertion groove (210), so that even if the main body tilting frame (100) is seated on the frame support surface (220), a jamming problem due to interference of the tilting drive member (300) can be prevented from occurring.

[0110] At this time, the frame support surface (220) can be formed to extend to a position spaced apart from a predetermined distance from one side of the longitudinal direction (X) of the main body support frame (200), and the insertion groove (210) can be configured to be formed to be sunken from the position where the frame support surface (220) ends.

[0111] In addition, the frame support surface (220) can be formed to extend to a position spaced apart from a predetermined distance from one side of the width direction (Y) of the main body support frame (200), and the insertion groove (210) can be configured to be formed to be recessed from the position where the frame support surface (220) ends.

[0112] As described above, the massage device with an anti-jamming function according to one embodiment of the present invention is provided with a first support surface (11) for supporting the upper body of the user on a main body tilting frame (100) provided on the main body (10), and the main body tilting frame (100) is arranged to be rotatable so as to be able to switch between a first state (S1) in which the user lies down and uses the device in a lying down state, and a second state (S2) in which the user sits and uses the device in a sitting state, so that a thermal massage through the massage module (12) is possible even when the user sits and uses the device in a sitting state, and the main body support frame (200) is provided with an insertion groove (210) into which a tilting drive unit (300) for rotating the main body tilting frame (100) is inserted, so that even when the state of use of the massage device is changed from a sitting state to a lying state, a jamming problem does not occur, and thus stable use of the massage device is possible.

[0113] 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.
