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. 10-2023-0017102 "Massage chair with standing assistance function" (Patent Document 1) of Bodyfriend Co., Ltd. discloses a massage chair including a sample module for massaging a user, a backrest frame for supporting the user's back, a seat frame for supporting the user's buttocks, and a tilting frame for tilting the backrest frame and the seat frame to convert the massage into a normal state in which the user can receive a massage in a sitting position or a zero-gravity state in which the user can receive a massage in a lying position.

[0005] However, since the seat frame of the massage chair of Patent Document 1 has an inner space formed into which the sample module moves, there is a problem in that when a user sits on the massage chair in its normal state, the user's buttocks may fall into the inner space of the seat frame. In other words, since the inner space formed in the seat frame of the massage chair of Patent Document 1 is an empty space for the sample module to move, when the massage chair is in its normal state and the sample module moves to the backrest frame, the inner space of the seat frame becomes empty. In other words, when the massage chair of Patent Document 1 is in its normal state, the user may sit on the massage chair in a position where his or her buttocks fall into the inner space of the seat frame, which may cause discomfort.

[0006] In addition, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2023-0083011 of Seragem Co., Ltd., entitled “Massage device capable of switching between use states” (Patent Document 2), 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, and a seat that supports the lower body of a user.

[0007] However, since the backrest of the massage device of Patent Document 2 can open the insertion hole of the seat portion when in the first state, there is a problem that the user may sit uncomfortably on the seat portion. In other words, the backrest of the massage device of Patent Document 2 is arranged so that the extension member covers the insertion hole in the second state and supports the user's lower body together with the seat portion, but when switched to the first state, the extension member rotates to open the insertion hole of the seat portion, so that the user's buttocks may fall into the insertion hole.

[0009] (Patent Document 1) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2023-0017102 (Published on February 3, 2023)

[0010] (Patent Document 2) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2023-0083011 (Published on June 9, 2023)

[0011] One embodiment of the present invention was invented against the background described above, and provides a massage device that can support a user's buttocks when the user sits.

[0012] According to one aspect of the present invention, a massager comprises: a bed frame including a main frame extending in a front-rear direction; a rotating platform disposed on an upper side of the main frame and rotatably supported about a rotating axis extending in a left-right direction; a support platform disposed rearward of the rotating platform and disposed on an upper side of the main frame; a massage module supported on the main frame so as to be movable in the front-rear direction so as to be disposed at a position where at least a portion overlaps at least one of the rotating platform and the support platform; a drive assembly providing a driving force for rotating the rotating platform or moving the massage module; And a controller for controlling the massage module and the drive assembly based on a plurality of control modes, wherein the plurality of control modes include a chair mode in which the rotation platform is rotated upward to form a predetermined chair angle with the main frame, and the controller controls the drive assembly so that, when in the chair mode, at least a portion of the massage module moves to a user support position in which the rotation platform overlaps with the support platform, and the rotation platform is rotated to form the chair angle.

[0013] In addition, the plurality of control modes include a bed mode in which the rotating platform is rotated downward to form a bed angle greater than the main frame and the chair angle, and the controller can control the massage module so that, when switching from the bed mode to the chair mode, the massage module starts moving to the user support position before the rotating platform is rotated to reach the chair angle.

[0014] In addition, the support platform is formed with a support opening extending in the front-back direction along the surface, and the controller can control the drive assembly so that at least a part of the massage module is positioned in the support opening before the rotation platform is rotated in the chair mode to reach the chair angle.

[0015] Additionally, the size of the support opening in the left-right direction may be larger than the size of the massage module in the left-right direction.

[0016] In addition, the plurality of control modes include a bed mode in which the rotating platform rotates downward to form a bed angle greater than the main frame and the chair angle, and the controller can control the drive assembly so that, when in the bed mode, the massage module moves to a position overlapping the rotating platform and the rotating platform forms the bed angle.

[0017] In addition, the rotating platform extends forward and backward along the surface to form a rotating opening through which the massage module passes, and the controller can control the drive assembly so that the massage module is positioned at a position corresponding to the front side of the rotating opening in the bed mode before the rotating platform reaches the bed angle by switching to the bed mode.

[0018] In addition, the controller can control the drive assembly so that the rotating platform and the massage module move simultaneously when switched to either the chair mode or the bed mode.

[0019] In addition, the plurality of control modes further include a massage mode in which the massage module operates to massage the user in the bed mode, and the controller can control the drive assembly to operate the massage module when in the massage mode and move the massage module in the forward and backward direction while massaging.

[0020] In addition, the controller further includes an input unit pressed by the user, and when the controller receives an input signal from the input unit for a predetermined period of time in the massage mode, the controller can stop the operation of the massage module and control the driving assembly based on the chair mode.

[0021] In addition, the bed frame may further include a subframe that is provided to be rotatable relative to the main frame so that the central portion thereof is positioned on the upper side of the main frame so as to overlap the main frame in a first state, or is positioned further rearward than the first state.

[0022] Additionally, the controller can control the drive assembly based on the chair mode when the subframe is switched from the first state to the second state.

[0023] In addition, the controller further includes a frame sensor unit supported on one of the main frame and the subframe to detect the subframe, and pressed by the subframe when the subframe is in the second state, and when the frame sensor unit detects the subframe, the controller can determine that the subframe is in the second state.

[0024] In addition, the subframe may be arranged so that the center portion is located higher than the support platform when placed in the first state, and may be arranged further rearward than the support platform when placed in the second state.

[0025] At least a part of the massage module of the massage device of one embodiment of the present invention can be positioned in a position overlapping the support platform when in chair mode, so that the user's buttocks can be supported by the support platform and the massage module.

[0026] In addition, since the massage module and support platform of the massager can support the user's buttocks at the same time, there is an effect of preventing the user's buttocks from being positioned lower than the support platform when the user sits on the massager.

[0027] Additionally, since the massage module can reach the support opening of the support platform before the rotating platform reaches the chair angle in chair mode, the user's buttocks can be supported before falling into the support opening.

[0028] In addition, since the massage module can reach the support opening of the support platform before the rotating platform reaches the chair angle in chair mode, there is an effect that can prevent the user's buttocks from being rubbed against the massage module.

[0029] In addition, since the massage module can first reach the front side of the rotation opening before the rotation platform reaches the bed angle in bed mode, there is an effect that can prevent the user's head supported on the rotation platform from being rubbed against the massage module.

[0030] Additionally, the massager can be switched to chair mode when the massage mode is terminated by the user, which allows the user to easily get away from the massager.

[0050] Hereinafter, a massage device (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0051] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the massager (1) can support a user by being provided in one or more of an overlapping state, an extended state, a bed mode, a chair mode, and a massage mode. When the massager (1) is in bed mode, it can support the user's head, back, legs, etc. so that the user can lie down on the massager (1), and when the massager (1) is in chair mode, it 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). Hereinafter, when the massager (1) is in bed mode and the user is lying 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 bed frame (100), a rotating platform (200), a support platform (300), a massage module (400), a driving assembly (500), a frame sensor unit (600), an input unit (700), and a controller (800).

[0052] The bed frame (100) can support a rotation platform (200), a support platform (300), a massage module (400), a drive assembly (500), a frame sensor unit (600), an input unit (700), and a controller (800). The bed frame (100) can include a main frame (110), a subframe (120), and a rotation link unit (130).

[0053] The main frame (110) can support a rotation platform (200) and a support platform (300) capable of supporting the user's body. In other words, the rotation platform (200) and the support platform (300) can be arranged on the upper side of the main frame (110). The main frame (110) can be formed so that its length in the front-back direction is longer than its length in the left-right direction. In addition, the main frame (110) can be provided with a guide part (111) for supporting a massage module (400).

[0054] The guide part (111) can extend forward and backward from the inside of the main frame (110) to support the massage module (400) so that the massage module (400) can move forward and backward. The guide part (111) can be positioned lower than the rotation platform (200) and the support platform (300) and can extend in the forward and backward direction. In addition, the front side of the guide part (111) can be positioned corresponding to the front side of the rotation opening (211) in bed mode when viewed in the vertical direction. In addition, the rear side of the guide part (111) can be positioned corresponding to the rear side of the support opening (311). For example, the guide part (111) can be a rail, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

[0055] The subframe (120) may be provided to be relatively movable with respect to the mainframe (110). This subframe (120) may be rotated by the rotation link unit (130) to be placed in a first state or a second state. The first state may be a state in which the center of the subframe (120) is placed on the upper side of the mainframe (110) so as to overlap with the mainframe (110). When placed in the first state, the center of the subframe (120) may be placed on the upper side than the support platform (300). The second state may be a state in which the center of the subframe (120) is placed further rearward than the first state. The first state and the second state may be referred to as an overlapping state and an extended state, respectively. This subframe (120) may be rotated forward about the rotation link unit (130) to be placed in an overlapping state or rotated rearward to be placed in an extended state.

[0056] When in an overlapping state, the subframe (120) may be positioned above the rotating platform (200) and the support platform (300) and may be spaced apart from the main frame (110). In addition, when in an overlapping state, the lower side of the subframe (120) may be positioned higher than the lower side of the main frame (110). In other words, when in an overlapping state, the subframe (120) may be spaced apart from the floor.

[0057] The subframe (120) may be positioned rearward of the support platform (300) when in the extended state. The front side of the subframe (120) may be positioned above the main frame (110) when in the extended state. This subframe (120) may support the user's legs, feet, etc. when in the extended state.

[0058] The rotation link (130) can connect the subframe (120) to the mainframe (110) so as to be relatively movable. One side of the rotation link (130) can be rotatably connected to the mainframe (110), and the other side, which is opposite to the one side, can be rotatably connected to the subframe (120). One side of the rotation link (130) can be connected to the lower side of the mainframe (110). In other words, the subframe (120) can be rotated in the front-back direction around one side of the rotation link (130).

[0059] Referring further to FIGS. 5 to 7, the rotation platform (200) may be positioned on the upper side of the main frame (110) and may be rotatably supported around a rotation axis (Ax) extending in the left and right directions. The rotation axis (Ax) may be positioned on the rear side of the rotation platform (200) so as to be positioned lower than the contact surface of the rotation platform (200). In other words, the rear side of the rotation platform (200) may be rotatably connected to the upper side of the main frame (110). For example, the rotation platform (200) may support the user's head, waist, etc. The contact surface may be a surface facing the user's body in massage mode, chair mode, and bed mode. In other words, the contact surface may be the upper surface of the rotation platform (200) in bed mode.

[0060] The rotating platform (200) can be rotated upward with respect to the main frame (110) when in chair mode. In addition, the rotating platform (200) can form a predetermined chair angle with the main frame (110) by being rotated upward with respect to the main frame (110) when in chair mode. The angle formed between the rotating platform (200) and the virtual vertical plane perpendicular to the rotation axis (Ax) at the chair angle can be formed to be smaller than the angle formed between the rotating platform (200) and the virtual vertical plane at the bed angle described later. For example, the chair 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.

[0061] In addition, the rotating platform (200) can be rotated downward with respect to the main frame (110) when in bed mode. In addition, the rotating platform (200) can form a bed angle with the main frame (110) by being rotated downward. The bed angle can be formed to be greater than the chair angle. In other words, the rotating platform (200) can be rotated with respect to the main frame (110) 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).

[0062] This rotating platform (200) may include a rotating platform body (210) and a rotating platform cover (220).

[0063] The rotating platform body (210) may be supported to rotate about a rotation axis (Ax) on the upper side of the main frame (110). In addition, a rotating opening (211) extending in the front-back direction along the surface may be formed in the rotating platform body (210). The rotating opening (211) may extend from the rear side toward the front side along the surface of the rotating platform (200). This rotating opening (211) may provide a space in which the massage module (400) may move. The size of the rotating opening (211) in the left-right direction may be formed to be larger than the size of the massage module (400) in the left-right direction. In addition, the length of the rotating opening (211) in the extension direction may be larger than the length of the support opening (311) in the extension direction, which will be described later.

[0064] The rotating platform cover (220) can cover the rotating platform body (210) so that it directly contacts the user's body. The rotating platform cover (220) can contact the user's body while being pressurized by the massage module (400) in massage mode.

[0065] The support platform (300) may be positioned on the upper side of the main frame (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 positioned rearward of 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.

[0066] This support platform (300) may include a support platform body (310) and a support platform cover (320).

[0067] The support platform body (310) may be arranged on the upper side of the main frame (110) so as to be arranged rearward relative to the rotation platform body (210). In addition, a support opening (311) may be formed in the support platform body (310). The support opening (311) may extend from the front side toward the rear side of the support platform (300) to provide a space in which the massage module (400) moves in the massage mode. In addition, the support opening (311) may be communicated with the rotation opening (211). The size of the support opening (311) in the left-right direction may be formed to be larger than the size of the massage module (400) in the left-right direction.

[0068] The support platform cover (320) can cover the support platform body (310) so that it directly contacts the user's body. The support platform cover (320) can contact the user's body while being pressurized by the massage module (400) in massage mode.

[0069] Referring further to FIGS. 8 to 10, the massage module (400) is supported on the main frame (110) so as to be movable in the forward and backward direction and can massage the user. The massage module (400) can be guided by the guide portion (111) to move in the forward and backward direction. In other words, the massage module (400) can massage the user's body while moving in the forward and backward direction. The massage module (400) can be arranged at a position overlapping at least one of the rotation platform (200) and the support platform (300). In addition, at least a portion of the massage module (400) can be arranged at a position overlapping the support platform (300) when viewed in the vertical direction (hereinafter referred to as a "user support position"). In other words, the massage module (400) can be arranged at the user support position and at least a portion of the massage module (400) can be arranged in the support opening (311). This massage module (400) may include a massage body (410) and a massage unit (420).

[0070] The massage body (410) can be supported so as to be movable in the forward and backward directions by the guide part (111) of the main frame (110). The massage body (410) is positioned lower than the rotation platform (200) and the support platform (300) and can be moved in the forward and backward directions. In addition, the massage body (410) can support the massage part (420) and the massage drive part (520) described later.

[0071] The massage part (420) can massage the user's body. The massage part (420) can be supported on the massage body (410) so as to be positioned at one or more of the rotation opening (211) and the support opening (311). The massage part (420) can be placed on the upper side of the massage body (410). The massage part (420) can be a massage ball.

[0072] The driving assembly (500) can provide a driving force to rotate the rotating platform (200) or move the massage module (400). By the driving assembly (500), the rotating platform (200) can be rotated to reach a chair angle or a bed angle. In addition, by the driving assembly (500), the massage module (400) can be moved in the forward and backward direction so as to overlap with at least one of the rotating platform (200) and the support platform (300) when viewed in the vertical direction. The driving assembly (500) can include a rotating driving unit (510) and a massage driving unit (520).

[0073] The rotary drive unit (510) is supported on the main frame (110) and can provide driving force to rotate the rotary platform (200). When in bed mode, the rotary drive unit (510) can rotate the rotary platform (200) upward, and when in chair mode, the rotary platform (200) can rotate downward.

[0074] The massage drive unit (520) can be supported by the massage module (400) and provide a driving force to move the massage module (400). In other words, the massage drive unit (520) can be supported by the massage body (410). In addition, the massage drive unit (520) can be movably supported by the guide unit (111) and move the massage module (400) in the forward and backward direction. For example, the massage drive unit (520) can include wheels that move along the guide unit (111). By the massage drive unit (520), the massage module (400) can be placed at a position overlapping at least one of the rotation platform (200) and the support platform (300).

[0075] The frame sensor unit (600) can detect the subframe (120). The frame sensor unit (600) can be supported on the main frame (110) so as to be pressed by the subframe (120) when in the extended state. In other words, the frame sensor unit (600) can detect the subframe (120) when it is pressed by the subframe (120). When the frame sensor unit (600) detects the subframe (120), the controller (800) can determine that the subframe (120) is in the extended state. For example, the frame sensor unit (600) can be disposed on the rear side of the main frame (110) so as to be located between the front of the subframe (120) and the rear of the main frame (110) in the extended state, or can be disposed on the front lower side of the subframe (120).

[0076] The input unit (700) can be pressed by a user. This input unit (700) can be supported on the main frame (110). For example, the input unit (700) can be a button. When the input unit (700) is pressed by a user, it can transmit an input signal to the controller (800). When the user presses the input unit (700) for a predetermined period of time, the input unit (700) can transmit an input signal for the pressed time. The input signal can include a signal for stopping the massage mode.

[0077] The controller (800) can control the massage module (400) and the drive assembly (500) based on a plurality of control modes. The plurality of control modes can include a bed mode, a chair mode, and a massage mode.

[0078] The bed mode is a mode in which the rotating platform (200) is rotated downward to form a bed angle. The controller (800) can control the drive assembly (500) so that, in the bed mode, the massage module (400) moves to a position where it overlaps the rotating platform (200) and the rotating platform (200) forms a bed angle. The massage drive unit (520) can move the massage module (400) forward by the controller (800). In addition, the rotating drive unit (510) can rotate the rotating platform (200) downward in the bed mode.

[0079] The controller (800) can control the drive assembly (500) to be switched to bed mode and place the massage module (400) at a position corresponding to the front side of the rotation opening (211) in bed mode before the rotation platform (200) reaches the bed angle. In other words, the rotation platform (200) can form the bed angle after the massage module (400) reaches the front side of the guide part (111).

[0080] The chair mode is a mode in which the rotation platform (200) rotates upward to form a chair angle. The controller (800) can control the drive assembly (500) so that, in the chair mode, at least a portion of the massage module (400) moves to a user support position where it overlaps the support platform (300) and the rotation platform (200) rotates to form a chair angle. The controller (800) can control the massage drive unit (520) to move the massage module (400) backward. In addition, the controller (800) can control the rotation drive unit (510) to rotate the rotation platform (200) upward.

[0081] Referring further to FIGS. 11 and 12, the controller (800) may control the massage module (400) to initiate movement of the massage module (400) to the user support position before the rotation platform (200) rotates to reach the chair angle when switching from the bed mode to the chair mode. Furthermore, the controller (800) may control the drive assembly (500) to position at least a portion of the massage module (400) to the user support position before the rotation platform (200) reaches the chair angle in the chair mode. In other words, the rotation platform (200) may form the chair angle after at least a portion of the massage module (400) reaches the support opening (311).

[0082] Massage mode is a mode in which the massage module (400) operates to massage the user in bed mode. The controller (800) can operate the massage module (400) in the massage mode. In addition, the controller (800) can control the drive assembly (500) in the massage mode so that the massage module (400) moves forward and backward while providing a massage. In other words, in the massage mode, the massage module (400) can move forward and backward in at least one of the rotation opening (211) and the support opening (311).

[0083] This controller (800) can control the drive assembly (500) so that the rotating platform (200) and the massage module (400) move simultaneously when switched to either the chair mode or the bed mode.

[0084] In addition, when the controller (800) receives an input signal for a predetermined period of time in the massage mode, it can stop the operation of the massage module (400) and control the drive assembly (500) based on the chair mode. In other words, the user can press the input unit (700) during the massage to end the massage mode.

[0085] In addition, the controller (800) can control the drive assembly (500) based on the chair mode when the subframe (120) is switched from an overlapping state to an extended state. The controller (800) can determine that the subframe (120) is in an overlapping state when the frame sensor unit (600) detects the subframe (120).

[0086] Hereinafter, the operation and effect of a massager (1) according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0087] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the massage device (1) can be operated when the subframe (120) is placed in an extended state from an overlapping state. In other words, when the subframe (120) is placed in an extended state, a part of the massage module (400) is placed in a position overlapping the support platform (300) based on the chair mode, and the rotation platform (200) can form a rotation angle. When switching from the chair mode to the bed mode, the massage module (400) is placed on the front side of the rotation opening (211), and the rotation platform (200) can form a bed angle. In addition, in the massage mode, the massage module (400) can massage the body of a user lying on the massage device (1) while moving in the forward and backward directions. Afterwards, when the controller (800) receives an input signal for a predetermined period of time, the operation of the massage module (400) is stopped, and based on the chair mode, a part of the massage module (400) is placed at a position overlapping the support platform (300), and the rotation platform (200) can form a rotation angle.

[0088] At least a part of the massage module (400) of this massager (1) can be positioned in a position overlapping the support platform (300) when in chair mode, so that the user's buttocks can be supported by the support platform (300) and the massage module (400).

[0089] In addition, since the massage module (400) and the support platform (300) of the massager (1) can simultaneously support the user's buttocks, there is an effect of preventing the user's buttocks from being positioned lower than the support platform (300) when the user sits on the massager.

[0090] In addition, since the massage module (400) can first reach the support opening (311) of the support platform (300) before the rotation platform reaches the chair angle in chair mode, there is an effect that the user's buttocks can be supported before falling into the support opening (311).

[0091] In addition, since the massage module (400) can reach the support opening (311) of the support platform (300) before the rotating platform (200) reaches the chair angle in chair mode, there is an effect that can prevent the user's buttocks from being rubbed against the massage module (400).

[0092] In addition, since the massage module (400) can first reach the front side of the rotation opening (211) before the rotation platform (200) reaches the bed angle in bed mode, there is an effect that the user's head supported on the rotation platform (200) can be prevented from being rubbed against the massage module (400).

[0093] In addition, the massager (1) can be switched to chair mode when the massage mode is terminated by the user, so that the user can easily get away from the massager (1).

[0094] In addition, since the massager (1) can be converted to chair mode when placed in an extended state, it has the effect of allowing the user to easily settle into a sitting position on the massager (1).

[0095] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described as specific embodiments, these are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto, but should be construed to have the broadest scope in accordance with the technical concepts disclosed in this specification. Those skilled in the art may combine / substitute the disclosed embodiments to implement patterns of shapes not specified, but this also does not depart from the scope of the present invention. In addition, those skilled in the art may easily modify or alter the disclosed embodiments based on this specification, and it is clear that such modifications or alterations also fall within the scope of the present invention.
