Heated ball for massage device

[0001] The present invention relates to a heating ball for a massage device, and more specifically, to a heating ball for a massage device that can be easily assembled while reducing manufacturing costs by using an easy-to-assemble cartridge heater member and rotating the fastening member and the cover member through a bearing.

[0002] Thermal massage devices are designed to alleviate acute or chronic pain occurring in the muscle and nerve tissues of the spine, and various types of spinal thermal massage devices are being developed recently.

[0003] The thermal massage device can move along parts of the body to improve blood circulation or relieve momentary muscle stiffness. Additionally, the heat generated by the thermal massage device can apply thermal stimulation to the painful area, thereby improving blood flow to the painful area and alleviating pain.

[0004] A thermal massage device is equipped with a heating ball capable of generating heat to apply thermal stimulation while applying pressure to the user. A PTC heater that heats up when an electric current is applied may be provided in the center of the heating ball. However, conventional heating balls equipped with such a PTC heater have the following problems.

[0005] A heating ball used in a thermal massage device may include a heater that generates heat, a connecting member rotatably coupled to the heater, and a rubber ball coupled to the outside of the connecting member and in contact with the user. The heating ball used in the thermal massage device transfers the heat generated by the heater to the connecting member and the rubber ball to apply thermal stimulation to the user.

[0006] However, conventional heating balls have a problem in that they require various machined parts to rotatably connect the connecting member to the heater while transferring heat from the heater to the connecting member.

[0007] Specifically, various machined parts such as bolts and heat transfer pins were required to firmly fix the PTC heater inside the fastening member while effectively transferring the heat generated from the PTC heater to the fastening member and the rubber ball, and separate machined parts were required to rotatably connect the fastening member and the rubber ball to the heater.

[0008] As such, the use of various machined parts leads to a problem where the manufacturing cost of the heating balls used in thermal massage devices increases. In addition, since the heating balls used in thermal massage devices contain various machined parts, there is a problem where the assembly of the heating balls is not easy.
