The massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may include a main frame 1100. As shown in fig. 1-3, the main frame 1100 may provide a path along which the massage module 1700 can move.

The control section 1200 can provide a massage by controlling the operation of the massage module 1700 to apply a mechanical stimulus to the user.

The control section 1200 can move the massage module 1700 in the X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, and the like. The control part 1200 may advance the massage ball forward or backward in the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis. Alternatively, the control unit 1200 may rotate the massage ball about the X-axis, the Y-axis, and the Z-axis.

The massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may include a sensor portion 1800. At this time, the sensor part 1800 may include at least one sensor. For example, the sensor part 1800 may include a pressure sensor, an infrared sensor, an LED sensor, a light sensor, a hole sensor, an electrostatic sensor, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

The sensor section 1800 can be used to acquire various information. For example, the sensor portion 1800 may be used to identify a user. The information of whether the user sits, the body type of the user, whether the body of the user is abnormal or not and the like can be obtained. As another example, the sensor unit 1800 may be used for acquiring biological information. Namely, fingerprint information, face information, voice information, iris information, body weight information, electrocardiogram (electrocardiogram) information, body composition information, etc., can be acquired, but not limited thereto, and various biological information may be included.

According to another embodiment of the present utility model, the massage apparatus 100 may sense a contact area and/or a contact position with the user through the sensor part 1800. In addition, the massage device 100 can acquire shoulder position information of the user through the sensor portion 1800. In addition, the massage device 100 may provide a customized massage based on the acquired information. For example, when the massaging device 100 provides shoulder massaging, the massaging device 100 may identify the shoulder position of the user based on the information acquired through the sensor part 1800 and provide the shoulder massaging to the user according to the result of the identification.

The leg massage part 2000 may be a structure for massaging the legs of the user. A leg receiving space 2100 for receiving a leg of a user may be formed at the leg massage part 2000.

The leg massage part 2000 may include at least one of an airbag (not shown), a calf massage module (not shown), and a foot massage part (not shown).

The balloon (not shown) may be a structure for securing at least a portion of the user's body. The air bag included in the leg massage part 2000 is a structure that receives air inflation from an air supply part provided separately, so that at least a part of the user's body can be fixed.

The calf massage module (not shown) may be a structure for massaging calf portions in the legs of the accommodated user. At this time, as described above, the lower leg massage module may include a ball massage unit or a roller massage unit, not limited thereto.

The foot massaging portion (not shown) may be a structure for massaging the foot of the user. The foot massage portion may include a foot massage module for massaging the foot of the user. At this time, the foot massage module may include a ball massage unit or a roller massage unit, not limited thereto.

Hereinafter, a massage apparatus (hereinafter, massage apparatus) having a function of providing phototherapy to a hand according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 4 is a schematic view showing an example of the massage device 100 including the hand mounting portion 4000, and fig. 5 is a view for explaining mounting of the hand of the user on the hand mounting portion 4000.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the massage apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may include: a body massage part 1000 which accommodates at least a part of a user's body and massages the user's body; and arm massage parts 3000 disposed at both sides of the body massage part 1000 to receive both sides of the user's arms and massage the user's arms.

As described above, the body massage part 1000 may move along the user's body according to the massage module 1700, thereby providing a slapping massage, a kneading massage, or the like to the user's body.

The arm massage part 3000 may provide a massage to the user's arm. The arm massage part 3000 may have a space capable of accommodating the arm of the user. Accordingly, the user can receive a massage from the arm massage part 3000 in a state where the arm is inserted into the arm massage part 3000.

The arm massage part 3000 may provide a slapping massage, a kneading massage, or the like to the user's arm.

As an embodiment, the massaging device 100 may include a hand carrying portion 4000. The hand mounting portion 4000 can provide phototherapy to the user's hand in a state of being mounted on the user's hand. The hand mounting unit 4000 may acquire various pieces of biometric information from the hand of the user in a state where the hand of the user is mounted.

As an example, the hand mounting portion 4000 may be disposed inside the arm massage portion 3000. The hand mounting portion 4000 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the hand of the user in a space inside the arm massage portion 3000. For example, when the user inserts the arm into the arm massage part 3000, the hand mounting part 4000 may be disposed at a position where the user's hand is disposed.

As an alternative embodiment, the hand mount 4000 may be movable. For example, the hand mounting portion 4000 may move inside the arm massage portion 3000 so as to correspond to the position of the hand of the user. That is, since the body types of users using the massage apparatus 100 are different from one another and the lengths of the arm portions are different from one another, when the user inserts the arm portions into the arm massage portion 3000, the hand mounting portion 4000 can be moved so as to correspond to the positions of the hands of the user.

As a specific example, when the arm of the user is inserted into the arm massage part 3000, the sensor part 1800 detects the position of the hand of the user, and the control part 1200 moves the position of the hand mounting part 4000 to a position corresponding to the position of the hand of the user based on this.

Alternatively, the user can move the hand mounting portion 4000 to a comfortable position by moving the hand mounting portion 4000 by himself/herself in a state where the hand is placed on the hand mounting portion 4000.

Fig. 6 is a schematic view showing an example of the arm massage part 3000 in a state where the balloon 3200 is contracted, fig. 7 is a schematic view showing an example of the arm massage part 3000 in a state where the balloon 3200 is expanded, and fig. 9 is a view for explaining positions of the hand mounting part 4000 and the balloon 3200.

Referring to fig. 6, 7 and 9, the massage apparatus 100 may include a balloon 3200 which is disposed inside the arm massage part 3000 to surround the user's arm from above and below, and is not disposed at a position corresponding to the palm of the user.

The airbag 3200 may receive air from the air supply part and expand. Alternatively, the balloon 3200 may be contracted again when air flows out to the outside.

When the user's arm is inserted, the airbag 3200 may fix the user's hand and arm by receiving air from the air supply part and expanding. That is, the airbag 3200 can stably receive a massage by fixing the user's hand and arm while the user is in contact with the hand and arm.

As an example, the balloon 3200 may include a first upper balloon 3210, a second upper balloon 3220, and a lower balloon 3230.

Specifically, first upper bladder 3210 may be disposed at a position corresponding to a user's hand and may, when inflated, envelope the user's hand.

Further, second upper air bag 3220 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the upper side of the user's forearm, and may wrap around the upper side of the user's forearm when inflated.

The lower bladder 3230 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the lower side of the forearm of the user, and may be wrapped around the lower side of the forearm of the user when inflated.

Accordingly, when the user's arm is inserted into the arm massage part 3000, the first upper balloon 3210 may fix the user's hand by being inflated. In addition, when the user's arm is inserted into the arm massage part 3000, the second upper air bag 3220 and the lower air bag 3230 may fix the user's arm, i.e., forearm, by being inflated, respectively.

Further, since the airbag 3200 is not disposed at a position corresponding to the palm of the user, and the airbag 3200 is disposed only at a position corresponding to the back of the user's hand, the upper side of the forearm, and the lower side of the forearm, referring again to fig. 9, the hand mounting portion 4000 may be exposed to the outside without being shielded by the airbag 3200 when viewed from the side.

On the other hand, the arm of the user becomes thinner and thinner toward the hand. In addition, the user's hand is thinner than the arm.

Therefore, as described above, the airbag 3200 is not disposed at a position corresponding to the palm of the user, but the hand mounting portion 4000 is disposed at the position, and therefore, even if the airbag 3200 is inflated thereafter, the user's hand and arm can be comfortably fixed.

As an embodiment, the balloon 3200 disposed at the upper portion of the user's arm is formed to have a longer length than the balloon 3200 disposed at the lower portion of the user's arm.

For example, the sum of the lengths of first upper balloon 3210 and second upper balloon 3220 may be longer than the length of lower balloon 3230. Accordingly, based on fig. 9, the lower air bag 3230 may be disposed so as to be biased rightward with respect to the air bag 3200 disposed at the upper portion, and the left side may have an empty space in which the hand mounting portion 4000 may be disposed.

As an example, the balloon 3200 may be configured to decrease in diameter toward the hand of the user. That is, the first upper air bag 3210, the second upper air bag 3220, and the lower air bag 3230 may be configured to narrow toward the hand of the user.

Accordingly, after the user's arm is inserted, the first upper balloon 3210, the second upper balloon 3220 and the lower balloon 3230 are inflated to correspond to the shape of the user's hand and arm, so that the user's hand and arm can be stably and safely fixed.

As an example, the arm massage part 3000 according to an example may include an arm support frame 3100.

The arm support frame 3100 may be disposed on the arm massage portion 3000, and a space for inserting the arm of the user may be provided in the arm support frame 3100.

As an example, the arm support frame 3100 may be formed to have a cross section of a shape of "". That is, the arm support frame 3100 is opened in one direction, so that the user's arm can be easily inserted and removed.

As an example, the airbag 3200 may be disposed on an inner surface of the arm support frame 3100.

That is, the airbag 3200 is disposed on the inner surface of the arm support frame 3100, and the user can receive a massage by inserting the arm into the inner surface of the arm support frame 3100 provided with the airbag 3200.

As an example, the arm support frame 3100 may be formed in a shape narrowing toward the direction of the user's hand.

As described above, the first upper air bag 3210, the second upper air bag 3220, and the lower air bag 3230 are arranged inside the arm support frame 3100, and may be arranged to narrow toward the direction of the user's hand. Accordingly, the first upper air bag 3210, the second upper air bag 3220 and the lower air bag 3230 are inflated to correspond to the hand and arm shape of the user after being inserted into the arm of the user, so that the hand and arm of the user can be stably and safely fixed.

Fig. 8 schematically illustrates a modification of the arm massage part 3000 provided with the airbag 3200.

Referring to fig. 8, the first upper airbag 3210 may extend in a direction approaching the user's hand and be further configured.

As an example, the first upper balloon 3210 may be formed of a multi-layered structure, in which case the first upper balloon 3210 may be additionally provided with at least one layer in a direction approaching the user's hand.

As another example, the first upper balloon 3210 may be integrally formed, in which case the first upper balloon 3210 may be formed to extend toward the hand of the user. Thus, first upper balloon 3210 may have a greater change in volume when inflated than second upper balloon 3220.

Thus, when the first upper balloon 3210 is inflated, the user's hand may be more completely covered by the first upper balloon 3210. That is, the hand of the user may be further closed by the first upper balloon 3210, and thus, the first bio-information measurement sensor 4600 may accurately and precisely measure a photo-electric volume map (photo-electric graph) of the user without external interference.

Fig. 10 is a view of the upper bladder 3200 of the embodiment of fig. 6, as seen from below, and fig. 11 is a view of the upper bladder 3200 of fig. 10, as seen obliquely from below.

Referring to fig. 10 and 11, the first upper balloon 3210 may have a space in which at least one of the user's finger parts can be placed.

As an example, the first upper balloon 3210 may be provided with a partitioned space 3211 into which a user's finger can be inserted.

The first upper balloon 3210 may be made of a plurality of layers, and the layers of the first upper balloon 3210 contacting the hand of the user may be configured to be spaced apart from each other to insert the finger of the user, thereby providing the spaced-apart space 3211.

Although only one space 3211 is illustrated in the drawing so as to be inserted into only one of the user's fingers, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a plurality of spaces 3211 may be provided so as to be inserted into a plurality of fingers of the user.

Therefore, when the first upper balloon 3210 is inflated, the user does not feel finger pain or inconvenience because the user's finger is inserted into the partitioned space 3211.

Further, since the space 3211 is provided, the first upper balloon 3210 can be inflated further than in the case where the space 3211 is not provided, and the hand of the user can be firmly attached to the hand mounting 4000 without pain.

Fig. 12 is a view of the upper bladder 3200 'of the other embodiment of fig. 6, as seen from below, and fig. 13 is a view of the upper bladder 3200' of fig. 12, as seen obliquely from below.

Referring to fig. 12 and 13, first upper balloon 3210 'may include a fusion 3211'.

As an embodiment, the first upper balloon 3210' may include a fusion portion 3211' having a space into which a user's finger can be inserted.

The first upper balloon 3210' may form a fusion portion 3211' along the length direction of the user's finger, and thus, even if the first upper balloon 3210' is inflated, the fusion portion 3211' is not inflated. Therefore, when the first upper balloon 3210' is inflated, only the portion other than the fusion portion 3211' is inflated, so that a space into which a user's finger can be inserted can be provided.

Although only one fusion portion 3211 'is illustrated in the drawing so as to be inserted into only one of the fingers of the user, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a plurality of fusion portions 3211' may be provided so as to be inserted into a plurality of fingers of the user.

Accordingly, when the first upper balloon 3210' is inflated, the user's finger is inserted into the space provided through the fusion portion 3211', and thus the user does not feel finger pain or inconvenience.

Further, since the space into which the finger of the user is inserted is provided, the first upper air bag 3210 'can be inflated further than in the case where the fusion portion 3211' is not provided, and the hand of the user can be firmly attached to the hand mounting portion 4000 without pain.

Fig. 14 is a view of the upper balloon of the further embodiment of fig. 6, seen from below, and fig. 15 is a view of the upper balloon of fig. 14, seen obliquely from below.

Referring to fig. 14 and 15, the upper balloon may include a first upper balloon 3210", a second upper balloon 3220", and a finger balloon 3211 "disposed at a lower side of the first upper balloon 3210".

The finger balloon 3211″ is disposed at a lower side of the first upper balloon 3210″ and may be disposed at only a portion of a front surface of the first upper balloon 3210″. That is, when the first upper balloon 3210", the second upper balloon 3220" and the finger balloon 3211 "are inflated to cover the user's hand, the finger balloon 3211" may be disposed only at a portion corresponding to the front portion of the user's finger, and the finger balloon 3211 "may not be disposed at a portion corresponding to the back of the user's hand and a knuckle near the back of the user's hand.

Accordingly, when the first upper air bag 3210", the second upper air bag 3220", and the finger air bag 3211 "are inflated, a space for disposing the back of the hand of the user and the knuckle near the back of the hand may be provided, so that the user may not feel finger pain or inconvenience.

Further, since the space into which a part of the user's finger is inserted is provided, the first upper air bag 3210″ can be inflated further than in the case where there is no finger air bag 3211″, and thus the user's hand can be firmly attached to the hand mounting portion 4000 without pain.

Fig. 16 is a view for explaining another embodiment of configuring the balloon 3200, and fig. 17 is a view for explaining a state in which the balloon 3200 of fig. 16 is inflated.

Referring to fig. 16 and 17, the arm massage part 3000 may not include an arm support frame. That is, the arm massage part 3000 may be provided with a space into which the user's arm can be inserted, without a separate arm support frame.

In this case, as an example, the balloon 3200 may be directly disposed on the inner surface of the arm massage part 3000.

That is, the balloon 3200 is disposed on the inner surface of the arm massage portion 3000, and the user inserts the arm into the arm massage portion 3000 provided on the balloon 3200, thereby receiving massage.

As described above, the first upper air bag 3210, the second upper air bag 3220, and the lower air bag 3230 are arranged inside the arm massage portion 3000, and may be arranged to narrow toward the direction of the user's hand. Accordingly, the first upper air bag 3210, the second upper air bag 3220 and the lower air bag 3230 are inflated to correspond to the hand and arm shape of the user after being inserted into the arm of the user, so that the hand and arm of the user can be stably and safely fixed.

Fig. 18 is a diagram showing a hand mounting portion 4000 according to an embodiment, fig. 19 is an exploded perspective view of the hand mounting portion 4000 of fig. 18, and fig. 20 is a diagram schematically showing the hand mounting portion of fig. 18 viewed from above.

Referring to fig. 18 to 20, the hand mounting portion 4000 may include a lower housing 4100 and an upper housing 4200.

The lower cover 4100 is disposed below the hand mounting portion 4000, and the upper cover 4200 is disposed above the hand mounting portion 4000, so that the overall shape of the hand mounting portion 4000 can be formed.

As an example, the lower cover 4100 may be provided at the arm massage part 3000 such that the hand mounting part 4000 is provided at the arm massage part 3000.

The upper cover 4200 is disposed above the hand mounting portion 4000, and the hand of the user can be brought into contact with the upper cover 4200. For example, the user can mount the hand on the hand mounting portion 4000 by placing the hand on the upper cover 4200 in a state where the arm is inserted into the arm massage portion 3000.

As an example, the upper cover 4200 may be formed to be curved in such a manner that a portion contacting with the palm of the user protrudes.

When the user's hand is relaxed, the user's hand naturally rolls up slightly and becomes curved. Accordingly, the upper cover 4200 is formed to be curved so as to protrude from a palm contact portion of the user, so that the user can naturally place the hand on the hand mounting portion 4000, in which case the palm of the user can be in contact with the upper cover 4200 over a large area.

As an example, the upper housing 4200 may include at least one curved portion at a portion contacting with a finger of a user.

When the user naturally places the hand on the hand mounting portion 4000, the finger is placed on the upper side of the hand mounting portion 4000 from the index finger to the little finger, and the thumb is placed on the side surface. Therefore, when the first upper balloon 3210 is inflated, the first upper balloon 3210 is firmly brought into contact with the hand mounting 4000 from the index finger to the little finger, and thus, inconvenience is felt.

For this, a curved portion may be formed at the upper housing 4200 so that fingers can be placed.

Specifically, the curved portion may be formed in a shape recessed toward the inside of the hand mounting portion 4000 so as to be able to place at least one of the index finger to the little finger of the user. Accordingly, even if the first upper balloon 3210 is inflated, the finger is placed inside the bent portion, and thus the user's hand can feel comfortable.

As an example, the upper cover 4200 may be formed of a material having flexibility. For example, the upper cover 4200 may be made of a material such as a silicon material, a rubber material, a leather material, a synthetic fiber material, or a synthetic resin. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any material that can change shape by externally applied force to buffer the force may be used.

Therefore, even if the first upper air bag 3210 inflates with the user's hand being placed on the hand mounting 4000, the user's hand does not feel pain or inconvenience.

Further, since the upper cover 4200 buffers the force generated by the inflation of the first upper balloon 3210, the first upper balloon 3210 can be inflated with a stronger force, and thus the hand of the user can be firmly attached to the hand mounting portion 4000 without pain.

That is, when the first upper balloon 3210 is inflated, the hand of the user is strongly pressed against the hand mounting 4000. Accordingly, when the upper cover 4200 is formed of a material having flexibility, an impact or an applied force due to the expansion of the first upper balloon 3210 may be buffered.

As an example, the upper housing 4200 may include at least one slot formed along the length of a user's finger.

As described later, since the light housing 4400 is disposed below the upper housing 4200 and the printed circuit board 4300 having the light emitting unit 4320 is disposed below the light housing 4400, light emitted from the light emitting unit 4320 needs to be transmitted to the hand of the user to provide phototherapy. At this time, when the groove is not formed in the upper housing 4200, the light generated from the light emitting unit 4320 cannot smoothly pass through the upper housing 4200 or cannot pass through at all, and thus, there is a problem in that the light cannot be sufficiently transmitted to the hand of the user.

Therefore, the light generated from the light emitting unit 4320 can be smoothly irradiated to the user's hand through the groove formed in the upper cover 4200.

In addition, since the groove formed in the upper housing 4200 is formed along the length direction of the user's finger, light can be uniformly transmitted to the user's finger portion when the user puts the hand on the upper housing 4200. I.e. the effect of light therapy can be maximized, since the light is uniformly and sufficiently transmitted to the user's knuckle part.

The hand mount 4000 may include a printed circuit board 4300 (Printed Circuit Board, PCB).

The printed circuit board 4300 may be disposed inside the hand massage portion. Various electrical components built in the hand mounting portion 4000 may be disposed on the printed circuit board 4300.

The printed circuit board 4300 will be described in detail later.

As an embodiment, the hand mounting portion 4000 may further include an optical housing 4400.

The light housing 4400 may guide a path of light emitted from the light emitting unit 4320. For example, light for providing phototherapy may be generated from the light emitting unit 4320, and the generated light may be irradiated to the user's hand through the light housing 4400.

The light housing 4400 will be described in detail later.

As an example, the hand mounting portion 4000 may further include a heating body 4500.

The heating body 4500 may provide a heating massage to the user's hand. For example, the heating body 4500 may generate heat by electric power applied from the outside. The heat generated by the heating element 4500 can be transmitted to the hand mounting portion 4000, and thus the heat can be transmitted to the hand of the user placed on the hand mounting portion 4000.

The heating element 4500 will be described in detail later.

As an example, the hand mounting portion 4000 may include at least one biometric sensor that measures biometric information of the user.

As an example, the biometric sensor may be disposed so that at least a part thereof is exposed on the surface of the hand mounting portion 4000. Therefore, when the user places the hand on the hand mounting portion 4000, the user's hand can be brought into contact with the biometric information measurement sensor.

However, here, the contact of the hand of the user with the biometric sensor does not mean complete contact without a non-contact area, but includes a case where only at least a part of the biometric sensor is in contact with the hand of the user.

As an example, the hand mounting portion 4000 may further include at least one first biological information measuring sensor 4600.

The first biological information measurement sensor 4600 may detect at least one of biological information of the body of the user.

As an alternative embodiment, the first biological information measurement sensor 4600 may be a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor that measures PPG.

Accordingly, the massaging device 100 can measure the photoplethysmogram of the user and can measure an abnormal signal of the heart of the user by the first biological information measuring sensor 4600 provided in the hand mounting portion 4000 while the user puts the hand on the hand mounting portion 4000 and receives the massage.

In general, PPG sensors are of a type using green light and a type using red light or infrared rays.

PPG sensors using green light have an advantage that they can measure a user's photoplethysmogram even if a body part to be measured is not closed, and conversely have disadvantages of slow feedback and low sensing accuracy. Therefore, when it is difficult to close a body part, a PPG sensor using green light is applied.

In contrast, the first biological information measuring sensor 4600 of the massage apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may be a PPG sensor using red light or infrared rays.

For this, the massage apparatus 100 according to the present utility model may include the balloon 3200 at a position corresponding to the user's hand.

As an example, the first upper balloon 3210 may cover the user's hand when inflated. For example, the first upper balloon 3210 may be inflated and cover the user's hand, thereby closing the user's hand, and thus, interference of light from the outside may be minimized.

Therefore, when the first biological information measuring sensor 4600 uses red light or infrared rays, the sensing capability can be improved, and feedback can be quickened.

As an example, the balloon 3200 may be formed of a material having elasticity and flexibility. Specifically, the surface of the balloon 3200 may be formed of a material having elasticity and flexibility. For example, the balloon 3200 may include, for example, a cloth material, a rubber material, a leather material, a synthetic fiber material, or a synthetic resin.

Accordingly, after the airbag 3200 covers the user's hand, the light emitted from the first biometric sensor 4600 may be irradiated to the airbag 3200 and reflected, so that the first biometric sensor 4600 may more rapidly and accurately measure the user's photoplethysmogram.

That is, the airbag 3200 may cover the user's hand while receiving air from the air supply part and expanding, so that the user's hand may be closed to reduce interference of external light.

Accordingly, the massage apparatus 100 according to the present utility model can accurately and rapidly measure the photoplethysmogram of the user by including the first biological information measuring sensor 4600 using red light or infrared rays.

As an alternative embodiment, the plurality of first biological information measuring sensors 4600 may be arranged at the hand mounting portion 4000 so as to be spaced apart from each other.

Accordingly, the massaging device 100 can more accurately measure the photo volume map by the first biological information measuring sensor 4600.

As a preferred embodiment, two first biological information measurement sensors 4600 may be provided. In this case, the first biometric sensor 4600 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the index finger of the user and a position corresponding to the wrist of the user, respectively.

If the first biological information measuring sensor 4600 is disposed at a position other than the position corresponding to the index finger and the wrist of the user, the accuracy of measuring the photo-volume map is lowered. Therefore, the first biological information measuring sensor 4600 according to the present utility model is disposed at a position corresponding to the index finger of the user and a position corresponding to the wrist of the user, respectively, so that the photoplethysmogram can be measured more accurately and precisely.

As an example, the hand mounting portion 4000 may further include at least one second biometric sensor 4700.

The second biometric sensor 4700 may detect at least one of biometric information of the user's body.

As an alternative embodiment, the second biometric sensor 4700 may be an ECG sensor that measures an Electrocardiogram (ECG).

Accordingly, while the user is receiving the massage by placing his/her hands on the hand mounting portion 4000, the massage apparatus 100 can measure the electrocardiogram of the user by the second biometric information measurement sensor 4700 provided on the hand mounting portion 4000, and can measure the heart state of the user by measuring the electric activity of the heart of the user.

As an alternative embodiment, the second biological information measuring sensor 4700 may be arranged in plural in a spaced-apart manner from each other.

Therefore, even when the hand of the user is not accurately placed on the hand mounting portion 4000, the electrocardiogram of the user can be accurately measured.

As described above, the massage apparatus 100 according to the present utility model may include the control part 1200.

The control unit 1200 may acquire at least one piece of biometric information of the user through the biometric information measurement sensor.

As an example, the biometric information of the user acquired by the control unit 1200 and the biometric information measurement sensor may be stored in the storage unit 1300. In this case, the user can output stored own biometric information from the storage unit 1300.

As an embodiment, the hand mounting portion 4000 may further include a control module 4800.

The control module 4800 may be a unit in which a user inputs a command for controlling the motion of the massage apparatus 100.

When the user receives the massage in a state where the arm is inserted into the arm massage part 3000, the arm of the user may be fixed by the airbag 3200 as described above. In this case, since the arm of the user is fixed by the airbag 3200, the arm cannot move freely, and there is a problem that the massage apparatus 100 cannot be easily controlled.

Therefore, the hand mounting portion 4000 may be provided with a control module 4800 independently of the user input portion 1400, and the user may control the operation of the massage device 100 by using the control module 4800 in a state where the arm portion is fixed by the airbag 3200.

As an alternative embodiment, the control module 4800 may be disposed adjacent to a user's finger, and preferably, may be disposed adjacent to a user's thumb.

Accordingly, the user can easily control the massage apparatus 100 even in a state where the arm is fixed by the airbag 3200.

Fig. 21 is a diagram schematically illustrating an embodiment including a cushioning member 4210.

Referring to fig. 21, hand mounting portion 4000 may include cushioning members 4210 disposed in a position to contact at least a portion of the palm of the user.

As an example, a portion of the upper housing 4200 that contacts the palm of the user, for example, a portion protruding in a manner corresponding to the shape of the user's hand may form a groove, and the cushioning members 4210 may be disposed in the groove.

As an example, the cushioning members 4210 may be formed of a material having flexibility. For example, the cushioning member 4210 may be made of a material such as a silicon material, a rubber material, a leather material, a synthetic fiber material, or a synthetic resin. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and any material that can change shape by externally applied force to buffer the force may be used.

That is, when the first upper balloon 3210 is inflated, the hand of the user is strongly pressed against the hand mounting 4000. Accordingly, when the cushioning members 4210 are configured, an impact or force applied to the palm of the user's hand by the inflation of the first upper air bag 3210 can be cushioned.

Further, since the cushioning members 4210 cushion the force generated by the inflation of the first upper air bag 3210, the first upper air bag 3210 can be inflated with a stronger force, and thus the hand of the user can be firmly attached to the hand mounting portion 4000 without pain.

Fig. 22 is a diagram schematically illustrating an embodiment of the printed circuit board 4300 of fig. 19.

Referring to fig. 22, the hand mounting portion 4000 may include a printed circuit board 4300 (Printed Circuit Board, PCB).

As an example, the printed circuit board 4300 may include a board 4310. The plate 4310 may form the overall shape of the printed circuit board 4300. Various electrical components may be disposed on the board 4310, and the electrical components may be electrically connected.

As an example, at least one light emitting unit 4320 may be disposed on the printed circuit board 4300. The light emitting unit 4320 may radiate light irradiating the user's hand.

As an alternative embodiment, the light emitting unit 4320 may be LED (Light Emitting Diode).

Accordingly, the hand mounting portion 4000 can provide phototherapy to the hand of the user by including the light emitting unit 4320 that emits light.

As described above, the hand mounting portion 4000 provides phototherapy to the user's hand through the light emitting unit 4320, thereby providing various effects such as pain relief, wound treatment, skin beauty, fat reduction, and the like.

As a specific example, the light emitting unit 4320 may emit light having a wavelength of red or near infrared ray region. For example, the light emitting unit 4320 may emit light having a wavelength of 640nm to 700nm or more than 780nm, and preferably, may emit light having a wavelength of 650nm or 830 nm. Therefore, the hand mounting portion 4000 can provide phototherapy to the body of the user more effectively than in the case of radiating light of other wavelengths.

As an example, a plurality of light emitting units 4320 may be disposed on the printed circuit board 4300, and at least a portion of the light emitting units 4320 may be disposed along a length direction of a user's finger. Referring again to fig. 10, a series of light emitting units 4320 arranged in a length manner on the left side with reference to fig. 10 may be arranged to correspond to the length direction of the user's finger.

Accordingly, the light emitting unit 4320 can irradiate light to the user's finger in a uniform and wide range.

On the other hand, the light emitting unit 4320 may generate heat by emitting light. At this time, heat generated from the light emitting unit 4320 may be transferred to the hand mounting part 4000, specifically, to the upper cover 4200. Therefore, when the user receives a massage with his/her hands in the state of the hand mounting portion 4000, as described later, the hand mounting portion 4000 including the heating body 4500 can simultaneously provide a heating massage to the user's hands, and the light emitting unit 4320 can additionally provide heat required for the heating massage.

As an example, the printed circuit board 4300 may be formed to be bendable. That is, when the user's hand is relaxed, the user's hand naturally bends, and accordingly, the hand mounting portion 4000 may be formed to bend.

Accordingly, the printed circuit board 4300 may be formed to be curved to correspond to the shape of the user's hand. In addition, the printed circuit board 4300 may be formed to be curved, and the light emitting unit 4320 may be configured to be capable of emitting light in correspondence with the shape of a user's hand.

As an example, the printed circuit board 4300 may be formed to cut at least a portion. Thus, the printed circuit board 4300 may be bent by the cut portion.

As another example, the printed circuit board 4300 may be formed of a material having flexibility so as to be also bendable.

Fig. 23 is a diagram schematically illustrating an embodiment of the optical housing 4400 of fig. 19, and fig. 24 is a cross-sectional view taken along line X-X' of fig. 23.

Referring to fig. 23 and 24, the hand mounting portion 4000 may include a light housing 4400.

The light housing 4400 may guide a path of light emitted from the light emitting unit 4320. For example, light for providing phototherapy may be generated from the light emitting unit 4320, and the generated light may be irradiated to the user's hand through the light housing 4400. Specifically, the light generated from the light emitting unit 4320 may pass through the light housing 4400 and be dispersed, and thus, the light may be guided through the light housing 4400.

As an example, the light housing 4400 may be formed of a material capable of transmitting light. Accordingly, the light emitted from the light emitting unit 4320 may pass through the light housing 4400 and reach the user's hand.

As an example, the light housing 4400 may include a finger portion 4410 formed along a length direction of a user's finger. For example, the finger portion 4410 may be formed along the longitudinal direction of the finger of the user, and may have an empty space inside.

As an alternative embodiment, the finger portion 4410 may be formed to be inclined to correspond to the finger of the user. For example, when the user places the hand on the hand mounting portion 4000, the finger naturally bends downward in a state of contact with the hand mounting portion 4000. Accordingly, the finger portion 4410 may be formed to be inclined to correspond to the bending of the user's finger.

Thus, the light emitted by the light emitting unit 4320 can be uniformly irradiated to a large area of the user's finger.

Specifically, the divergent light may be dispersed through the light housing 4400. Referring again to fig. 12, light emitted from the light emitting unit 4320 may be incident to the light housing 4400, and may be passed through the light housing 4400 and dispersed. Accordingly, the light passing through the light housing 4400 can be formed in a surface-emitting form by dispersion, and can be irradiated to a large area of the user's finger. Specifically, the scattered light may be irradiated to joint portions of the user's finger.

Fig. 25 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the heat-generating body 4500 and the light housing 4400 of fig. 19.

Referring to fig. 25, the hand mounting portion 4000 according to an embodiment may further include a heating body 4500.

The heating body 4500 may provide a heating massage to the user's hand.

As an example, the heating body 4500 may be a heating film or a heating wire. For example, when electric power is applied from the outside, the heat-generating body 4500 may generate heat, and the generated heat may be transferred to the hand mounting portion 4000, specifically, to the upper housing 4200. Therefore, when the user receives a massage with his/her hands placed on the hand mounting portion 4000, the hand mounting portion 4000 including the heating body 4500 can provide a heating massage to his/her hands.

As an example, a heat-generating body mounting portion 4420 for placing the heat-generating body 4500 may be formed at the light housing 4400. Accordingly, the heating element 4500 may be mounted on the heating element mounting portion 4420 of the optical housing 4400, and the upper housing 4200 may be disposed to cover thereon.

Accordingly, heat generated from the heating body 4500 can be transferred to the upper cover 4200, and heat can be efficiently transferred to the hand of the user.

Fig. 26 is a diagram schematically illustrating another embodiment of the printed circuit board 4300 of fig. 19. Hereinafter, a description will be given centering on differences from the printed circuit board 4300 described with reference to fig. 22. That is, in the printed circuit board 4300 according to the following embodiment, the structure of the printed circuit board 4300 described with reference to fig. 22 is directly applied to the following embodiment, or a structure that is easily deformed and used by a person of ordinary skill may be applied.

Referring to fig. 26, the printed circuit board 4300 may further be provided with at least one heat generating resistor 4330.

Therefore, when power is supplied to the heat generating resistor 4330, the heat generating resistor 4330 can generate heat.

The heat generated from the heat generating resistor 4330 may be transmitted to the hand mounting portion 4000, specifically, to the upper cover 4200. Therefore, when the user receives a massage with his/her hands placed on the hand mounting portion 4000, the hand mounting portion 4000 can simultaneously provide a heating massage to the user's hands.

As an alternative embodiment, a plurality of heating resistors 4330 may be disposed on the printed circuit board 4300, and at least a portion of the heating resistors 4330 may be disposed along the length of the user's finger. Referring again to fig. 14, based on fig. 14, a series of heating resistors 4330 arranged on the left side so as to have a length may be arranged so as to correspond to the length direction of the finger of the user.

Therefore, the heat generating resistor 4330 can transfer heat to the user's finger in a uniform and wide range.

As an alternative embodiment, although not shown, the heating resistor 4330 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the palm of the user.

In this case, the heat generating resistor 4330 can transmit heat to the palm of the user uniformly and widely.
