Hereinafter, the massage ball assembly 600 according to an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to fig. 3 to 5.
Referring to fig. 3, a massage ball assembly 600 according to the present application may include a main frame 610, an inclined frame 620, and a shoulder massage module 630.
A massage ball assembly 600 includes two main frames 610 to be installed one on each side of the massage mass 650 installed at the backrest part 100, and the main frames 610 can be moved according to the up and down and left and right movements of the massage mass 650.
For mounting on the massage mass 650, a first mounting hole 611 may be formed at the center of the main frame 610. Through the first mounting hole 611 of the main frame 610, it is possible to directly couple to the massage mass 650, however, in the direct coupling, since the main frame 610 is fixed to the massage mass 650, it is impossible to provide a massage feeling reflecting the flexion of the user's shoulders, back, waist, and hips, both sides of the massage mass 650 are respectively mounted with rotation fixing parts (not shown) rotatably fixed with respect to the coupling part with the main frame 610, and the first mounting hole 611 of the main frame 610 may be fixedly mounted on the rotation fixing parts (not shown), so that the mounting mass 650 can move only in the up-down direction, and the main frame 610 performs a pivoting motion from the mounting position, so that it is possible to provide the user with a massage feeling reflecting the flexion of the user's shoulders, back, waist, and hips.
The main frame 610 includes a first extension 612 extending from the first mounting hole 611 toward the backrest portion 100, and a second extension 613 extending from the first mounting hole 611 toward the bottom.
In addition, a power transmission unit 615 and a driving motor 616 may be further mounted on the main frame 610.
The power transmission unit 615 may be provided in a disk shape, and a plurality of first protrusions 615a may be formed along a circumferential direction of a side surface of the power transmission unit 615.
The driving motor 616 is installed to face the power transmission unit 615 with the main frame 610 therebetween, and the driving motor 616 provides power to rotate the power transmission unit 615. For example, the drive motor 616 may be a rotary motor, and may be any drive motor that provides power to rotate the power transfer unit 615.
The inclined frame 620 is a portion pivotably installed at an end of the second extension 613 of the main frame 610, and the inclined frame 620 is installed with a second massage ball 621 and a warming ball 622.
The inclined frame 620 is installed to be pivotally moved with respect to the main frame 610, and is a portion that provides an optimal massage feeling reflecting the flexion of the shoulder, back, waist and hip of the user.
Specifically, the tilting frame 620 may be installed at the second extension part 613 of the main frame 610 according to the embodiment shown in fig. 4, but it is sufficient that one is installed at the end of the first extension part 612 of the main frame 610 or at the ends of the first extension part 612 and the second extension part 613, respectively, according to other embodiments. The end of the main frame 610 where the inclined frame 620 is not installed may be installed with the first massage ball 614. Hereinafter, an embodiment when the tilting frame 620 is installed at the second extension 613 will be exemplified with reference to fig. 4.
The inclined frame 620 is centrally formed with a second mounting hole 623 for mounting to the main frame 610. A third mounting hole (not shown) may be formed on the main frame 610 at a portion corresponding to the second mounting hole 623.
The inclined frame 620 includes a first inclined frame 624 extending from the second mounting hole 623 toward the backrest portion 100 and a second inclined frame 625 extending from the second mounting hole 623 toward the bottom.
The warm ball 622 is rotatably installed at the end of the first inclined frame 624, and the second massage ball 621 is rotatably installed at the end of the second inclined frame 625.
The rotation of the warm ball 622 and the second massage ball 621 is different from the pivotal movement of the inclined frame 620, the inclined frame 620 performs the pivotal movement of a predetermined angle with respect to the main frame 610 with the second mounting hole 623 as a rotation axis, and the warm ball 622 and the second massage ball 621 are fixed at the mounting position of the inclined frame 620 to be rotatable only.
That is, since the inclined frame 620 performs the pivotal motion with respect to the main frame 610 using the second mounting hole 623 as a rotation axis, it is possible to provide an optimum massage suitable for the user's flexion, as compared to the related art in which the thermo-ball and the massage ball are mounted only on the main frame and move up and down and left and right.
The warm ball 622 is positioned closer to the first mounting hole 611 of the main frame 610, and thus the second massage ball 621 is positioned outside the inclined frame 620. That is, the massage feeling of the second massage ball 621 can be provided through a longer path than when mounted inside.
The tilting frame 620 may be connected to the main frame 610 by an elastic member 640.
The elastic member 640 provides a restoring force to the tilting frame 620 rotating around the main frame 610 by its own elastic force. Accordingly, the tilting frame 620 may also return to the initial position by the elastic member 640 while rotating according to the flexion of the user.
Referring to fig. 3 and 5, the shoulder massage module 630 will be described in more detail.
Similar to the main frame 610, two shoulder massage modules 630 may be provided on one massage ball assembly 600 to be installed one at each side end of the massage mass 650 installed on the backrest part 100, and the shoulder massage modules 630 may be moved according to the up-down and left-right movement of the massage mass 650.
The shoulder massage module 630 includes a first sliding frame 631, a second sliding frame 632, and a shoulder massage part 633.
To be mounted to the massage block 650, one sides of the first and second slide frames 631 and 632, respectively, may be formed with fourth mounting holes (not shown). The first and second slide frames 631 and 632 may be connected to each other through a fourth mounting hole (not shown), and may be mounted to the massage mass 650. More specifically, the first and second sliding frames 631 and 632 may be mounted to the main frame 610 through fourth mounting holes (not shown), and the main frame 610 is mounted on the massage block 650, so that the mounting operation to the massage block 650 may be completed. Since the first and second sliding frames 631 and 632 are provided separately from the main frame 610, a shoulder massage operation can be independently performed by the shoulder massage parts 633 mounted on the first and second sliding frames 631 and 632 regardless of the operation of the main frame 610.
The first and second slide frames 631 and 632 may be provided in a curved form to have a predetermined curvature.
Specifically, the first and second sliding frames 631 and 632 extend toward the backrest portion 100, and may be in a form in which a tangential slope thereof is reduced.
An outer side of one or more of the first and second sliding frames 631 and 632 may be formed with a corresponding plurality of first and second sliding frame protrusions 631a and 632a along the predetermined curvature. The plurality of first and second sliding frame protrusions 631a and 632a can be engaged with the plurality of first protrusions 615a of the power transmission part 615, and the first and second sliding frames 631 and 632 can perform sliding motion with respect to the main frame 610 by rotation of the power transmission part 615.
More specifically, the first and second sliding frames 631 and 632 may slide on the main frame 610 along a curved path corresponding to their own curvature, and a tangential slope of a curve along which the curved path is formed may be decreased toward the backrest portion 100. Since the slope of the tangent line of the curved path toward the backrest part 100 is reduced, the shoulder massage part 633 installed at the front end can massage the portion above the shoulders of the massage chair user even though the first and second sliding frames 631 and 632 perform sliding motion with respect to the main frame 610, not rotational motion.
In other words, the shoulder massage part 633 will perform pressing to provide a massage feeling in such a manner as to move the massage shoulder above part along a curved path at an upper rear position thereof with the shoulder above part of the massage chair user as a reference.
The shoulder massage unit 633 is mounted on the front ends of the first and second slide frames 631 and 632 facing the backrest 100, and is a part that provides a massage feeling by contacting the body of the user. The massage ball providing the massage feeling and the warming ball providing the warming feeling have a disk shape, so the massage bolus 650 provides the massage feeling generated by the rotation motion of the massage ball or the warming ball itself by moving up and down and left and right, and the shoulder massage part 633 provides the massage feeling by the sliding motion with respect to the main frame 610, not by the rotation motion of itself, so that the surface contacting the user preferably includes a rounded processed curved surface. And preferably has an area capable of sufficiently covering the portion above the shoulders of the user.
Hereinafter, referring to fig. 6, the operation steps of the massage ball assembly 600 according to the embodiment of the present application will be described in more detail.
Basically, the massage ball 650 of the massage ball assembly 600 is installed inside the backrest part 100 to move up and down and left and right, and a massage feeling or a warming feeling can be provided to the user by the massage balls and the warming balls installed on the main frame 610 and the rotating frame 620 of the massage ball 650.
The main frame 610 may perform a pivotal motion with respect to the massage mass 650, and the inclined frame 620 mounted on the main frame 610 may perform a pivotal motion with respect to the main frame 610.
Accordingly, as the massage bolus 650 moves up, down, left, and right, the first massage ball 614 mounted on the main frame 610, the second massage ball 621 mounted on the inclined frame 620, and the warm ball 622 may rotate along the back curvature of the user to provide a massage feeling to the user.
The massage ball assembly according to the embodiment of the present application further includes a shoulder massage module 630, so that a massage according to the portion above the shoulders of the shoulder massage module 630 can be further performed (fig. 6).
The shoulder massage module 630 may perform a sliding motion between a first position protruding from the seat of the backrest part 100 where the shoulder massage parts 633 press the above-shoulders parts by contacting the above-shoulders parts of the user to make the user feel a massage feeling and a second position where the shoulder massage parts 633 are mounted inside the backrest part 100 to make the user not feel the massage feeling, which are installed inside the backrest part 100, and do not protrude from the seat of the backrest part 100.
Since the shoulder massage parts 633 are used to massage the above-shoulder portions, it is preferable to move toward the first position only at a predetermined position of the massage mass 650. In other words, it is preferable that the shoulder massage parts 633 contact the above-shoulder portions of the user when the shoulder massage module 630 is located at the first position, which means that, in the up-and-down movement movable range of the massage mass 650, it is preferable to perform a sliding movement toward the first direction in which the backrest part 100 is located only within a predetermined range to contact the above-shoulder portions of the user, and to perform a sliding movement toward the second direction opposite to the first direction within a range outside the predetermined range to re-hit the inside of the backrest part 100.
Wherein the predetermined range is determined based on the shoulder position of the user, and the shoulder position of the user is detected by a shoulder positioning module (not shown). As an example of the shoulder positioning method, a detection manner according to the up and down movement of the massage ball assembly 600 may be applied, but is not limited thereto, and any method for detecting the shoulder position may be applied.
That is, the shoulder positions of the user sitting on the massage chair may be detected by the shoulder positioning module (not shown), and the upward and downward movable range of the massage mass 650 in which the massage part 633 performs a sliding motion in the first direction toward the backrest part 100 to contact a predetermined range of the above-shoulder part may be decided based on the detected shoulder positions.
The present application as described above has the following effects.
First, the existing massage chair only massages by moving the massage ball assembly up and down and left and right, so that there is a deficiency in massaging the parts above the shoulders, and the utility model can massage the parts above the shoulders through the shoulder massage module, so that the whole shoulders can be massaged.
Second, the shoulder massage module may be driven separately from the module massaging the back of the user, thereby performing a concentrated massage of the shoulders.
Third, the shoulder massage module may be driven together with the module for massaging the back, thereby performing massage of the shoulders and the back.
Fourth, when it is not necessary to massage the shoulders, it can be installed inside the backrest without affecting the movement of the module for massaging the back, so that the back massage can be smoothly performed by the module for massaging the back.
Fifth, the shoulder massage part for massaging the shoulders has a shape most suitable for shoulder massage, and thus more effective massage can be performed.
The embodiments are described above in the specification with reference to the drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily understand and implement the present application, however, these embodiments are merely examples, and those skilled in the art can understand that various modifications and equivalent other embodiments can be realized from the embodiments of the present application. Accordingly, the scope of protection of this application is to be determined by the claims that follow.
