Detailed Description

The embodiments described in the present specification and the structures shown in the drawings are only preferred examples of the disclosed utility model, and various modifications that can replace the embodiments and the drawings of the present specification may be present at the time of filing the present application.

Hereinafter, a leg massage apparatus will be specifically described according to embodiments described later with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, like reference numerals denote like constituent elements.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3B, a leg massage apparatus according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a support (support) part 10 formed with a groove 11, a lower limb of a user being inserted into the groove 11 and supported by the groove 11; an air bag module 20 including a plurality of air bags 21, the plurality of air bags 21 being arranged on both side surfaces of the groove 11 of the support portion 10 in the front-rear direction, and the plurality of air bags 21 wrapping the shin portion to the calf portion of the lower limb; and an air supply unit 30 that supplies air to the airbag module 20 to inflate the airbag 21.

The support portion 10 is a support structure constituting a leg massage portion of a chair-type massage machine (also called a "massage chair"), and includes a "U" shaped groove 11 open forward, and the lower limbs of the legs are inserted into the "U" shaped groove 11 and supported.

The airbag module 20 is disposed at least three on each side of the groove 11 of the support portion 10, and has a plurality of stages arranged up and down. In this embodiment, the airbag module 20 has three stages arranged up and down on both sides of the groove 11, respectively.

Each of the air bag modules 20 is connected to the air supply unit 30, and when air is received from the air supply unit 30, each of the air bag modules 20 is inflated, thereby pressurizing and massaging the shank portion and the calf portion of the lower limb. The plurality of air cells 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction such that the air cell module 20 wraps from the shank portion to the calf portion of the lower limb and massages the entire lower limb portion.

In addition, in order to increase the pressurizing force of the air cells 21, the respective air cells 21 may be laminated in a multilayer manner toward the inner side of the groove 11.

In this embodiment, the airbag module 20 may include: a main air bag 21a extending from a front end portion to a rear end portion of the tank 11, provided on a side surface of the tank 11, and connected to the air supply portion 30 to receive air; and a plurality of auxiliary airbags 21b arranged laterally to the main airbag 21a, and communicating with the main airbag 21a and receiving air to be inflated.

The main airbag 21a may have a rectangular shape long in the side direction, and is provided to extend from the front end portion of the side face of the groove 11 to the rear. An inflow port 25 connected to the air supply portion 30 is provided in the central portion of the main bag 21a, and the position of the inflow port 25 is not limited to the central portion of the main bag 21 a.

The auxiliary air bags 21b are arranged side by side at the front and rear portions of the main air bag 21a, respectively, and apply pressure to one side shank and calf of the lower limb, respectively, thereby playing a massage role. Of the auxiliary air bags 21b, the auxiliary air bag 21b disposed forward massages the muscles of one calf of the lower limb, and the auxiliary air bag 21b disposed rearward of the auxiliary air bag 21b massages the muscles of one calf of the lower limb.

The auxiliary air bag 21b may be formed as a single layer or may be formed as a plurality of layers of two or more layers as in the embodiment. At this time, the number of layers of the auxiliary airbag 21b of the airbag module 20 of the plurality of layers arranged one above the other may be the same or different. For example, the airbag module 20 at the lower end corresponds to the wrist portion of the lower limb having the smallest left and right width, and thus the auxiliary airbag 21b may be formed of 4 to 5 layers, the airbag module 20 at the middle end corresponds to the calf portion of the lower limb having the largest left and right width, and thus the auxiliary airbag 21b may be formed of 2 to 3 layers, and the airbag module 20 at the upper end corresponds to the calf portion of the lower limb having the smaller left and right width than the middle portion, and thus the auxiliary airbag 21b may be formed of 3 to 4 layers.

In addition, even for the airbag modules 20 located at the same height, the number of layers of the auxiliary airbags 21b of the airbag modules 20 disposed at both sides may be formed to be different depending on the muscular state of the lower limb.

As described above, the upper side airbag module 20 and the lower side airbag module 20 may be configured asymmetrically, or the left side airbag module 20 and the right side airbag module 20 may be configured asymmetrically, depending on the muscle shape and anatomical structure of the lower limb.

The air supply portion 30 is connected to each airbag module 20 via a supply pipe such as a hose (hose), thereby supplying air to the airbag module 20. The air supply part 30 may be constructed using a known air supply device such as an air compressor, the operation of which is controlled by a control device (not shown) for controlling the operation of the massage chair.

The air supply part 30 supplies air to the air bag modules 20 at the respective ends according to a massage mode previously inputted to a control device (not shown) of the massage chair. In order to realize a massage mode for improving edema of the lower limb, the air supply unit 30 sequentially supplies air to the upper air bladder module 20 from the air bladder module 20 disposed at the lowermost side of the tank 11, thereby sequentially massaging the lower limb toward the upper side of the lower limb from the lower end thereof. In other words, the air is supplied while continuously circulating in the order of the lower end airbag module 20-the middle end airbag module 20-the upper end airbag module 20, thereby massaging, so that the effect of pumping blood of the lower limb (pumping ng) to the upper side can be provided, and thus the effect of improving edema of the lower limb can be obtained.

In addition to this, various massage modes can be realized, for example, by simultaneously supplying air to the front side air bag 21 of the left air bag module 20 and the rear side air bag 21 of the right air bag module 20, thereby inflating them, and thereby massaging the lower limb in the diagonal direction of the lower limb.

As described above, in the leg massage device, the air bags 21 of the air bag modules 20 of the respective stages are arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction in three or more stages in the up-down direction, so that the air bags 21 of the air bag modules 20 of the respective stages are formed in a shape to wrap the entire portion of the shin and calf of the lower limb, and the air bags 21 of the air bag modules 20 of the respective stages are formed asymmetrically according to the muscle shape and anatomical structure of the lower limb. Therefore, not only the lower limb portion of the human body can be effectively massaged, but also the effect of preventing or improving diseases such as edema of the lower limb can be provided.

On the other hand, as in the other embodiment shown in fig. 4 and 5, in order to provide a massage effect in which the airbag module 20 pushes muscles of the lower limb portion from front to rear or from rear to front and presses them, the front side airbag 21 and the rear side airbag 21 of the airbag module 20 are formed in multiple layers, and one ends of the front side airbag 21 and the rear side airbag 21 are fixed to each other while the other ends are separable from each other, and the separable other ends of the front side airbag 21 and the rear side airbag 21 are deployed and inflated with respect to the one ends fixed to each other, so that the lower limb portion can be pressurized.

The present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the examples, but various substitutions, additions and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art to which the present utility model pertains without departing from the scope of the technical idea described above, and it should be understood that such modified embodiments also fall within the scope of the present utility model as defined in the appended claims.
