Description

Massage device with adjustable relative height of the pressure part

[0001] The present invention relates to a massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of a pressure portion, and more specifically, to a massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of a pressure portion, which can reduce the height difference between a first pressure portion and a second pressure portion by rotating one side of a base portion having a first pressure portion and a second pressure portion relative to the other side.

[0002] Massage devices are widely used for both therapeutic and preventative purposes, both for patients and the general public. Massage devices can be moved along body parts to relieve acute or chronic pain arising from muscles and nerve tissues in the spinal region, improve blood circulation, or relieve temporary muscle tension.

[0003] These massage devices offer a variety of functions, including not only massage but also heat therapy. Massage devices can apply heat stimulation to painful areas, thereby improving blood flow.

[0004] For this purpose, the massage device may be equipped with multiple heating electrodes. The user may lie on the massage device and use the massage device, and the massage device may have multiple heating electrodes positioned along the length of the user's body.

[0005] A plurality of thermal ceramics provided in the massage device can move along the length of the user's body or move up and down, thereby providing the user with physical or thermal stimulation.

[0006] Meanwhile, to provide stimulation to the user according to the user's body curvature, there may be a height difference between the multiple heating electrodes provided in the massage device. Specifically, one heating electrode may be positioned higher, while the other heating electrode may be positioned lower, to accommodate the user's body curvature.

[0007] However, if there is a height difference between the multiple thermal electrodes, the following problems may arise. The user can use the massage device while lying down on the massage device, and while the massage device is stimulating the user, the height difference between the multiple thermal electrodes allows stimulation to be applied according to the curvature of the user's body.

[0008] However, while the multiple thermal ceramics do not provide massage stimulation to the user, there is a problem that the user lying down feels uncomfortable due to the height difference between the multiple thermal ceramics.

[0009] Specifically, when a user lies on a massage device, the device must be flat to allow the user to lie comfortably. However, the difference in height between the multiple heating electrodes causes the massage device to become uneven and form a curve, which causes discomfort to the user lying on the massage device.

[0010] The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problem, and more specifically, relates to a massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of a pressure part, which can reduce the height difference between a first pressure part and a second pressure part by rotating one side of a base part having a first pressure part and a second pressure part based on the other side.

[0011] According to one embodiment, a massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of a pressure portion comprises: a base portion; a first pressure portion provided in the base portion and pressurizing a user; a second pressure portion provided in the base portion and spaced apart from the first pressure portion and pressurizing the user; a raising / lowering portion for raising or lowering the base portion; and a rotating portion for rotating the other side of the base portion around one side of the base portion to change the height of the other side of the base portion with respect to one side of the base portion.

[0012] The rotary part of a massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of a pressure part according to one embodiment may include a first hole extending in the vertical direction, a height adjustment frame provided on the other side of the base part, a guide roller inserted into the first hole of the height adjustment frame and moving along the first hole, and a latch part that supports the lower part of the other side of the base part and can slide to a point of the first hole.

[0063] Referring to FIG. 4, the rotating part (200) can change the height of the other side of the base part (110) relative to one side of the base part (110) by rotating the other side of the base part (110) around one side of the base part (110).

[0064] Referring to FIG. 5, when the second pressurizing part (130) provided on the other side of the base part (110) is positioned at a higher position than the first pressurizing part (120) provided on one side of the base part (110), the relative height difference between the first pressurizing part (120) and the second pressurizing part (130) can be reduced by rotating the other side of the base part (110) through the rotating part (200).

[0065] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the rotating part (200) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a height adjustment frame (210), a guide roller (220), and a latch part (230).

[0066] Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, the height adjustment frame (210) is provided with a first long hole (211) extending in the vertical direction and is provided on the other side of the base portion (110). The height adjustment frame (210) can be coupled to the other side of the base portion (110), and the first long hole (211) into which the guide roller (220) can be inserted can be provided inside the height adjustment frame (210).

[0067] The first long hole (211) may be a hole extending in the vertical direction. Here, the extension of the first long hole (211) in the vertical direction is not limited to extending in the vertical direction, and the first long hole (211) may extend in the vertical direction while extending in a diagonal direction with respect to the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. 7.

[0068] The above guide roller (220) is inserted into the first hole (211) of the height adjustment frame (210) and moves along the first hole (211). The guide roller (220) can support the other side of the base portion (110) and the latch portion (230).

[0069] The above guide roller (220) can be placed in various positions as long as it can support the other side of the base part (110) and the latch part (230) while moving along the first hole (211).

[0070] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the guide roller (220) may be provided at the upper end of the other side of the raising / lowering frame (141). Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the guide roller (220) may be provided at the upper end of the other side of the raising / lowering frame (141) and may move along the first long hole (211).

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the height adjustment frame (210) may be provided with a second long hole (212) that extends in the lateral direction and communicates with the first long hole (211). Here, the lateral direction may be the length direction of the user's body (x-axis), and the second long hole (212) may be a hole that extends in the lateral direction.

[0072] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the X-shaped lifting frame (141) is folded or unfolded so that the base part (110) can be raised or lowered relative to the support part (150).

[0073] The second hole (212) may be a hole through which the guide roller (220) provided on the upper side of the other side of the raising / lowering frame (141) formed in an X shape can move when the raising / lowering frame (141) formed in an X shape is folded or unfolded. When the raising / lowering frame (141) formed in an X shape is folded or unfolded, the guide roller (220) moves laterally along the second hole (212).

[0074] The latch portion (230) supports the lower part of the other side of the base portion (110) and can slide to a point of the first hole (211). Referring to Fig. 3, when the latch portion (230) slides to a point of the first hole (211), the latch portion (230) can be supported by the guide roller (220).

[0075] When the latch portion (230) is supported by the guide roller (220), the other side of the base portion (110) can be supported by the latch portion (230). In addition, when the latch portion (230) slides to a point of the first hole (211), the path along which the guide roller (220) moves along the first hole (211) is closed, so that the guide roller (220) does not move along the first hole (211).

[0076] Afterwards, as shown in FIG. 4, when the latch part (230) slides and moves out of a point of the first hole (211), the other side of the base part (110) can rotate as the latch part (230) is not supported by the guide roller (220).

[0077] Specifically, when the latch part (230) slides and moves out of a point of the first hole (211), the path along which the guide roller (220) moves along the first hole (211) is opened, thereby allowing the guide roller (220) to move along the first hole (211).

[0078] More specifically, when the latch part (230) slides and moves out of a point of the first hole (211), the latch part (230) is not supported by the guide roller (220), and thus the other side of the base part (110) cannot be supported through the latch part (230).

[0079] As the force capable of supporting the other side of the base part (110) disappears, the other side of the base part (110) rotates with respect to one side of the base part (110). Here, one side of the base part (110) may be coupled to the raising / lowering frame (141).

[0080] When the other side of the base part (110) rotates, the guide roller (220) moves along the first hole (211) of the height adjustment frame (210) coupled to the other side of the base part (110).

[0081] In this way, by rotating the other side of the base part (110) based on one side of the base part (110), the height of the other side of the base part (110) with respect to one side of the base part (110) can be lowered.

[0082] By lowering the height of the other side of the base part (110) relative to one side of the base part (110), the height difference between the first pressurizing part (120) provided on one side of the base part (110) and the second pressurizing part (130) provided on the other side of the base part (110) can be reduced.

[0083] As described above, the latch part (230) can be slidably moved to a point of the first long hole (211).

[0084] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the latch plate (231) is slidable so as to be inserted into a point of the first hole (211). The latch plate (231) may be formed in a plate shape and may be a member that is directly inserted into the first hole (211).

[0085] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the latch link (232) is connected to the latch plate (231) and is provided with a guide protrusion (235), and the elastic body (233) is coupled to the latch link (232) and may apply an elastic restoring force to the latch link (232).

[0086] The above elastic body (233) may be a compression spring, but is not limited thereto, and the above elastic body (233) may be various types of elastic bodies as long as it can apply elastic restoring force to the above latch link (232).

[0087] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the latch guide (234) is provided with a guide groove (240) through which the guide protrusion (235) can move. The guide groove (240) may be a groove having a plurality of paths, and as the guide protrusion (235) provided on the latch link (232) moves along the path provided on the guide groove (240), the latch plate (231) slides.

[0088] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 8, the guide home (240) may include a first path (241), a second path (242), and a third path (243).

[0089] The first path (241) extends in one diagonal direction with respect to the direction in which the latch plate (231) slides, and the second path (242) extends in the other diagonal direction with respect to the direction in which the latch plate (231) slides.

[0090] The third path (243) connects the outer side of the first path (241) and the outer side of the second path (242). Here, the outer side may be a direction from the latch plate (231) toward the latch guide (234) with reference to FIG. 8, and the inner side may be a direction from the latch guide (234) toward the latch plate (231) with reference to FIG. 8.

[0092] Referring to Fig. 8, the lowest point of the concave groove (250) according to an embodiment of the present invention may be formed at a point spaced apart from the catch (251) in the direction toward the second path (242). Here, the lowest point of the concave groove (250) may be a point that is dug the deepest inward in the concave groove (250).

[0093] Specifically, the lowest point of the concave groove (250), which is dug most deeply inward in the concave groove (250), may be formed at a point spaced apart from the catch (251) in the direction toward the second path (242).

[0094] The guide groove (240) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a fourth path (244) connecting the inner side of the first path (241) and the inner side of the second path (242). In addition, an inclined portion (252) having a downward slope formed in a direction from the second path (242) toward the first path (241) may be provided on the inner side of the fourth path (244).

[0095] Hereinafter, a method of sliding the latch plate (231) through the guide protrusion (235) provided in the latch link (232) and the path provided in the guide groove (240) will be described in detail.

[0096] When the latch plate (231) according to an embodiment of the present invention is pressed once, the latch plate (231) can slide away from a point of the first long hole (211) and then stop. Thereafter, when the latch plate (231) is pressed once more, the latch plate (231) can slide to a point of the first long hole (211) and then stop.

[0097] The upper left drawing of Fig. 8 is a drawing showing when the latch plate (231) is placed at a point of the first hole (211). At this time, the guide protrusion (235) provided on the latch link (232) is placed at the lower end of the first path (241). Here, the elastic body (233) may be placed between the latch guide (234) and the height adjustment frame (210) and may be compressed by the latch link (232).

[0098] When the latch plate (231) is pressed once so that the latch plate (231) moves out of a point of the first hole (211), the latch plate (231) slides and presses the latch link (232). When the latch link (232) is pressed, the elastic body (233) connected to the latch link (232) is compressed, and an elastic restoring force is generated in the latch link (232).

[0099] At this time, as shown in the upper right drawing of Fig. 8, the guide protrusion (235) provided on the latch link (232) moves along the first path (241) to the third path (243). When the guide protrusion (235) moves from the first path (241) to the third path (243), the movement stops when it is caught by the catch (251) located on the outside of the third path (243).

[0100] After the guide protrusion (235) is caught by the catch (251) and stops, the latch link (232) is pulled by the elastic restoring force of the elastic body (233), so that the guide protrusion (235) is placed in the concave groove (250) as shown in the lower right drawing of Fig. 8. Specifically, the guide protrusion (235) is placed at the lowest point of the concave groove (250).

[0101] When the above guide protrusion (235) is placed at the lowest point of the above concave groove (250), the latch plate (231) can be fixed in a state where it is out of alignment with one point of the first hole (211).

[0102] Thereafter, when the latch plate (231) is pressed once again, the latch link (232) is pushed, causing the guide protrusion (235) to leave the concave groove (250). Specifically, the guide protrusion (235) moves from the third path (243) to the second path (242) along the concave groove (250), as shown in the lower left drawing of FIG. 8.

[0103] At this time, the guide protrusion (235) is positioned at the lowest point of the concave groove (250) formed at a point spaced apart from the catch (251) in the direction of the second path (242), so that it passes the catch (251) and moves to the second path (242).

[0104] Since the above latch link (232) receives elastic restoring force by the elastic body (233), the guide protrusion (235) moves along the second path (242), and as the guide protrusion (235) moves along the second path (242), the latch plate (231) slides to a point of the first hole (211).

[0105] The guide protrusion (235) moved to the lower point of the second path (242) passes through the fourth path (244) connecting the inner side of the first path (241) and the inner side of the second path (242) and returns to the initial position (upper left drawing position of FIG. 8, lower position of the first path (242)).

[0106] Specifically, the guide protrusion (235) moved to the lower point of the second path (242) returns to the lower point of the first path (241) along the inclined portion (252) provided in the fourth path (244).

[0107] In this way, the latch plate (231) can slide back and forth to a point of the first hole (211) through a path formed in the guide protrusion (235) and the guide groove (240).

[0108] Referring to FIG. 6, the latch plate (231) and the latch link (232) according to an embodiment of the present invention may be hinge-coupled. Specifically, the latch plate (231) and the latch link (232) may be connected via a hinge (236), and the latch link (232) may be rotatable with respect to the latch plate (231).

[0109] As described above, the guide protrusion (235) provided on the latch link (232) must move along the first path (241) extending in one diagonal direction with respect to the direction in which the latch plate (231) slides, and the second path (242) extending in the other diagonal direction with respect to the direction in which the latch plate (231) slides.

[0110] In addition, the guide protrusion (235) provided on the latch link (232) must move along the first path (241) - the third path (243) - the second path (242) - the fourth path (244), and for this purpose, the latch plate (231) and the latch link (232) can be hinge-coupled.

[0111] That is, the latch plate (231) and the latch link (232) can be hinge-coupled to move the guide protrusion (235) provided on the latch link (232) in a linear reciprocating slide manner to a point of the first hole (211) while moving the first path (241) - the third path (243) - the second path (242) - the fourth path (244).

[0112] Referring to FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, a through hole (213) may be formed on a side surface of the first hole (211) according to an embodiment of the present invention. In addition, a massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of a pressing portion according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a latch button (260) that passes through the through hole (213) and presses the latch plate (231).

[0113] The above latch button (260) can press the latch plate (231) by passing through the through hole (213) formed on the side of the first hole (211), and by pressing the latch plate (231) through the latch button (260), the latch plate (231) can be slidably moved.

[0114] In addition, a massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of a pressure portion according to an embodiment of the present invention may include an inclined member (270). The inclined member (270) may include a movable inclined member (271) that contacts the height adjustment frame (210) while forming an incline, and a flat member (272) that is connected to the upper portion of the movable inclined member (271) and on which the latch button (260) is arranged.

[0115] The inclined member (270) according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a member that supports the height adjustment frame (210) when the other side of the base part (110) rotates based on one side of the base part (110).

[0116] Specifically, when the other side of the base part (110) rotates downward based on one side of the base part (110), the height adjustment frame (210) can be supported through the moving inclined part (271) of the inclined member (270) as shown in FIG. 11.

[0117] In addition, when the other side of the base part (110) is rotated upward based on one side of the base part (110), the height adjustment frame (210) can move upward by coming into contact with the moving inclined part (271) as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13.

[0118] At this time, when the height adjustment frame (210) comes into contact with the movable inclined portion (271) and moves upward, the guide roller (220) moves downward along the first hole (211). The height adjustment frame (210) can move along the movable inclined portion (271) to the flat portion (272) where the latch button (260) is provided.

[0119] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the height adjustment frame (210) moves along the movable inclined portion (271) to the flat portion (272), the through hole (213) can be arranged in a direction parallel to a point of the first hole (211) through which the latch plate (231) slides.

[0120] When the height adjustment frame (210) moves along the movable slope (271) to the flat portion (272), the through hole (213) must be positioned in a direction parallel to a point of the first hole (211) through which the latch plate (231) slides so that the latch plate (231) can be pressed through the latch button (260).

[0121] Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 9 to 15, a method of rotating the other side of the base part (110) in a downward or upward direction based on one side of the base part (110) will be described in detail.

[0122] Fig. 9 shows a state in which a height difference occurs between the first pressure portion (120) and the second pressure portion (130) to perform a massage along the curve of the user's body. That is, the other side of the base portion (110) may be in a flat state without being rotated.

[0123] Thereafter, in order to reduce the relative height difference between the first pressurizing portion (120) and the second pressurizing portion (130), the base portion (110) can be moved in the direction of the latch button (260).

[0124] Specifically, the support part (150) can be moved in the direction of the user's body length (X-axis) through the drive motor (151) of the support part (150), and as the support part (150) is moved in the direction of the user's body length (X-axis), the base part (110) can also be moved in the direction of the user's body length (X-axis). As the base part (110) moves in the direction of the user's body length (X-axis), the base part (110) can be moved in the direction of the latch button (260).

[0125] In the above description, it has been described that the support part (150) and the base part (110) move in the direction of the user's body length (X-axis), but it is not limited thereto.

[0126] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the inclined member (270) and the latch button (260) may be moved along the length direction of the user's body (X-axis) to the base portion (110). Hereinafter, the movement of the support portion (150) and the base portion (110) along the length direction of the user's body (X-axis) will be described.

[0127] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, when the base part (110) is moved in the direction of the latch button (260), the latch button (260) passes through the through hole (213) provided on the side of the first hole (211) and presses the latch plate (231).

[0128] When the latch plate (231) is pressed once through the latch button (260), the guide protrusion (235) of the latch link (232) moves along the path provided in the guide groove (240), causing the latch plate (231) to slide in a direction away from the first hole (211).

[0129] Here, the method by which the latch plate (231) slides by the guide projection (235) and the guide groove (240) of the latch link (232) is omitted as it has been described above.

[0130] Referring to Fig. 11, when the latch plate (231) slides in a direction away from the first hole (211), the other side of the base portion (110) rotates downward.

[0131] At this time, the guide roller (220) moves upward along the first hole (211), and the height adjustment frame (210) moves downward along the moving inclined portion (271) of the inclined member (270).

[0132] Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, when the other side of the base part (110) is rotated downward, the height adjustment frame (210) is lowered while being supported by the movable inclined part (271) of the inclined member (270), thereby enabling the other side of the base part (110) to be safely rotated.

[0133] When the other side of the base portion (110) rotates downward, the height difference between the first pressing portion (120) and the second pressing portion (130) can be reduced.

[0134] Afterwards, in order to perform a massage by generating a height difference between the first pressure part (120) and the second pressure part (130), the base part (110) is moved in the direction of the latch button (260) as shown in FIG. 13.

[0135] At this time, the height adjustment frame (210) moves upward along the movable slope portion (271) of the inclined member (270) as shown in Fig. 13. As the height adjustment frame (210) moves upward along the movable slope portion (271), the other side of the base portion (110) coupled with the height adjustment frame (210) also rotates upward.

[0136] In addition, as the height adjustment frame (210) moves upward along the movable slope (271), the guide roller (220) moves downward along the first hole (211).

[0137] When the height adjustment frame (210) moves along the movable slope (271) and is placed on the flat portion (272), as shown in FIG. 14, the guide roller (220) is placed at the bottom of the first hole (211), and the latch button (260) passes through the through hole (213) provided on the side of the first hole (211).

[0138] When the latch button (260) that has passed through the through hole (213) presses the latch plate (231) once again, the guide protrusion (235) of the latch link (232) moves along the path provided in the guide groove (240), causing the latch plate (231) to slide to a point of the first hole (211).

[0139] Here, the method by which the latch plate (231) slides by the guide projection (235) and the guide groove (240) of the latch link (232) is omitted as it has been described above.

[0140] When the above latch plate (231) slides to a point of the first hole (211), the latch plate (231) can be supported by the guide roller (220) as shown in FIG. 15.

[0141] By supporting the latch plate (231) through the guide roller (220), the other side of the base portion (110) can be supported through the latch plate (231), and thus, a state in which a height difference occurs between the first pressing portion (120) and the second pressing portion (130) can be maintained.

[0142] Through this method, it is possible to change the state in which a height difference occurs between the first pressurizing portion (120) and the second pressurizing portion (130) and the state in which the height difference between the first pressurizing portion (120) and the second pressurizing portion (130) is reduced.

[0143] In the above description, it has been described that the first pressurizing portion (120) and the second pressurizing portion (130) are provided on the base portion (110), but this is not limited thereto. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the base portion (110) may be provided with another pressurizing portion in addition to the first pressurizing portion (120) and the second pressurizing portion (130).

[0144] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when a plurality of pressurizing parts are provided on the base part (110), the relative height difference of the plurality of pressurizing parts can be reduced by rotating the other side of the base part (110) based on one side.

[0145] The massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of the pressure portion according to the embodiment of the present invention described above has the following effects.

[0146] A massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of a pressure portion according to an embodiment of the present invention has the advantage of reducing the height difference between the first pressure portion and the second pressure portion by rotating one side of a base portion having a first pressure portion and a second pressure portion relative to the other side.

[0147] In addition, the massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of the pressure portion according to an embodiment of the present invention has the advantage of reducing the height difference between the first pressure portion and the second pressure portion by rotating the other side of the base portion based on one side thereof, thereby allowing the user to not feel discomfort when lying on the massage device.

[0148] In addition, the massage device capable of adjusting the relative height of the pressure portion according to an embodiment of the present invention has the advantage of being able to manufacture the massage device flat while preventing the formation of bends in the massage device by reducing the height difference between the first pressure portion and the second pressure portion by rotating the other side of the base portion based on one side thereof.

[0149] While the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, these are merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations of the embodiments are possible. Therefore, the true scope of technical protection of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
