The external device 3000 may include a medical measurement apparatus such as an electronic scale, a blood glucose meter, or a blood pressure meter.

Although a partial example of the external device 3000 has been described in the present utility model, it should be understood that any device that can communicate with the massage apparatus 1000 by wire or wirelessly and can transmit and receive information to and from each other may be included in the external device.

Hereinafter, a massage device 1000 including a rotatable arm massage part according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, it is to be understood that providing a massage to the user's arm means not only simply providing a massage (e.g., a pressing massage (or a finger pressure massage), a slapping massage, a kneading massage, etc.), but also includes various actions of the arm massage portion 1200 provided to the user's arm, for example, at least one of stretching by rotating or stretching the user's arm in a specific direction, and other medical treatments, etc.

In addition, the following functions may be provided: by rotating the arm massage part 1200 in at least one direction, interference of the arm massage part 1200 with the user's body when the user sits on the body massage part 1100 or is detached after use is minimized, so that the user can sit or detach conveniently. For example, before the user sits on the body massaging portion 1100 or before the user disengages from the body massaging portion 1100, the rotation module rotates the both side arm massaging portion 1200 or the one side arm massaging portion 1200 upward, thereby opening at least one side surface of the body massaging portion 1100, and thus the sitting or disengaging action can be facilitated. The arm massage part 1200 may be disposed at both sides of the body massage part 1100. For example, the arm massage parts 1200 may be arranged at positions (or regions) corresponding to the arm parts of the user on both sides of the body massage part 1100, respectively. Each arm massage part 1200 may be provided with a space for accommodating a user's arm.

The arm massage part 1200 may include an arm massage part frame 1210 connected to both sides of the main frame 1130. The arm massage part frame 1210 may be rotated up and down about the rotation shafts 1230 provided at both sides of the main frame 1130. The rotation shaft 1230 may be disposed near one end (or upper end) of the upper frame 1131. At this time, the upper ends of both sides of the upper frame 1131 may be positions corresponding to both sides of the shoulders of the user, rear upper ends of both sides of the shoulders of the user, and the like. The rotation shaft 1230 may be directly coupled to the upper frame 1131 near the upper end of the upper frame 1131 corresponding to the rear of the shoulders of the user, or coupled through a bracket, a plate, or a frame structure to rotate centering on an axis extending in a lateral direction from the upper end of the upper frame 1131.

The front side of the arm massage part frame 1210 may be provided with an armrest frame support part 1212, the armrest frame support part 1212 having a lateral inner side and a rear openingAnd a handrail slot 1213. Inside the armrest groove 1213 of the armrest frame support 1212, an arm portion into which a user is inserted and seated may be providedA shaped armrest frame 1214. The armrest frame 1214 may be formed with a corresponding armrest slot 1213The shape is formed. The inside of the armrest frame 1214 may include at least one of an air bag, a massage module, and a heating module, etc., that may massage the user's arm. The air bag may be inflated and deflated by air supply and discharge to pressurize the user's arm to massage, and the massage module may be configured to massage the arm by vibration of the actuator. The heating module may be arranged to heat the arm to provide a heating massage effect.

The arm massage part frame 1210 can be rotated up and down about the rotation shaft 1230 by the rotation module 1270. At this time, as shown in fig. 7, depending on the body size of the user, there may be a case where the rotation center O of the user's arm does not coincide with the rotation axis 1230 of the arm massage part frame 1210. In this case, when the arm massage part frame 1210 rotates about the rotation axis 1230, a position difference may occur between the end of the user's arm and the end of the arm massage part frame 1210 according to the rotation angle.

Such a position difference excessively pulls the user's arm when the arm massage part 1200 rotates, excessively stretches or applies a force to contract the user's arm, and thus may cause discomfort or pain to the user. Accordingly, the arm massage part 1200 naturally linearly moves with respect to the rotation shaft 1230 according to the rotation angle of the arm massage part 1200, so that the rotation locus of the end of the arm massage part 1200 can be changed.

That is, as shown in fig. 8 to 11, in conjunction with the rotation of the arm massage unit 1200 by the rotation module 1270, the arm massage unit 1200 is linearly moved in the longitudinal direction of the arm massage unit 1200 by the self weight of the arm massage unit 1200, and the position of the distal end of the arm massage unit 1200 with respect to the rotation axis 1230 is changed, so that the distance of the distal end of the arm massage unit 1200 from the body massage unit 1100 can be adjusted. For this purpose, a position adjustment module 1250 is disposed between the arm massage part 1200 and the rotation shaft 1230.

The position adjustment module 1250 is configured such that the arm massage part frame 1210 of the arm massage part 1200 linearly slides with respect to the rotation shaft 1230 while rotating about the rotation shaft 1230. In other words, when the arm massage part 1200 rotates about the rotation axis 1230, the position adjustment module 1250 linearly slides the arm massage part 1200 with respect to the rotation axis 1230, so that the separation distance between the tip of the arm massage part 1200 and the body massage part 1100 can be adjusted.

As an example, the position adjustment module 1250 may include: a shaft coupling member 1251 coupled to the rotation shaft 1230; the guide portion 1255 is connected to the arm massage portion 1200 so as to be linearly slidable with respect to the shaft coupling member 1251, but is not rotatable with respect thereto.

The guide portion 1255 may include a guide hole 1257, the guide hole 1257 being formed in a long hole shape extending in one direction on the arm massage portion 1200, the shaft coupling member 1251 being slidably but relatively non-rotatably connected to the guide hole 1257. A guide hole 1257 may be formed at a guide plate 1256 fixed to the rear side of the arm massage part frame 1210. The guide plate 1256 may be manufactured separately from the arm massage part frame 1210 and then fixedly coupled to the arm massage part frame 1210, but may be made of the same or different material as the arm massage part frame 1210 and integrally formed with the arm massage part frame 1210, unlike this.

The shaft coupling member 1251 may be slidably inserted and disposed inside the guide hole 1257. A shaft coupling hole 1252 through which the rotation shaft 1230 is penetrated is formed at a substantially central portion of the shaft coupling member 1251 laterally penetrated, and flanges around the shaft coupling hole 1252 and around the rotation shaft 1230 are coupled to each other by a fastening unit such as a bolt (not shown), so that the shaft coupling member 1251 can be rotated together with the rotation shaft 1230. The shaft coupling member 1251 is slidable in the length direction of the guide hole 1257 of the guide plate 1256, but is not relatively rotatable. Therefore, when the rotation shaft 1230 is rotated by the rotation module 1270, the shaft coupling member 1251 coupled to the rotation shaft 1230 is rotated together, and at this time, the arm massage part frame 1210 may be rotated together with the shaft coupling member 1251. When the arm massage part frame 1210 and the shaft coupling member 1251 rotate, the arm massage part 1200 receives a forward or backward force due to its own weight, and the arm massage part frame 1210 slides under the guide of the guide hole 1257 and the shaft coupling member 1251, so that the arm massage part frame 1210 can naturally move linearly in the forward and backward direction (or the length direction) of the arm massage part 1200 with respect to the rotation shaft 1230.

That is, when the rotation shaft 1230 is rotated upward by the rotation module 1270 in a state that the arm of the user is inserted into the armrest frame 1214 in front of the arm massage part frame 1210, and thus the arm massage part frame 1210 is rotated upward together, the arm massage part 1200 receives a downward moving force due to its own weight, and thus the arm massage part 1200 can be linearly moved rearward. Specifically, the arm massage part frame 1210 slides rearward under the guide of the guide hole 1257 and the shaft coupling member 1251 so that the arm massage part frame 1210 can linearly move rearward. Thus, the arm massage part 1200 is naturally adjusted to a position preferred by the user, so that the air bag of the arm massage part 1200 can be disposed at a position corresponding to the arm of the user.

Conversely, when the arm massage part 1200 is rotated downward to return to the original state in a state in which the arm massage part 1200 is rotated upward, the arm massage part 1200 may be linearly moved forward. Specifically, the guide hole 1257 provided at the arm massage part frame 1210 receives the guide of the shaft coupling member 1251, so that the arm massage part frame 1210 slides forward, so that the arm massage part frame 1210 moves forward linearly.

In order to prevent rattling during sliding in the front-rear direction under the guide of the shaft coupling member 1251 while the arm massage part frame 1210 is rotated up and down by the shaft coupling member 1251 and to enable smooth sliding of the arm massage part frame 1210 with respect to the shaft coupling member 1251, the guide part 1255 may further include: a rail groove 1256a formed in the arm massage part 1200 so as to be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the guide hole 1257; and a rail protrusion 1251b formed at the shaft coupling member 1251 so as to slide along the rail groove 1256 a. For example, a rail groove 1256a is formed in the guide plate 1256 side by side with the guide hole 1257, and a rail protrusion 1251b sliding along the inside of the rail groove 1256a may protrude at least one of the both side wing portions 1251a of the shaft coupling member 1251. In contrast to the present embodiment, a rail groove may be formed at the shaft coupling member 1251, and a rail protrusion may be formed at the guide plate 1256 of the arm massage part frame 1210.

As described above, when the arm massage part frame 1210 linearly slides with respect to the shaft coupling member 1251 in linkage with the rotation motion of the arm massage part frame 1210, in order to reduce the load applied to the arm massage part frame 1210, the position adjustment module 1250 may further include a buffer member 1258, the buffer member 1258 imparting an elastic force to the arm massage part frame 1210 with respect to the shaft coupling member 1251.

The buffer member 1258 has one end connected to the shaft coupling member 1251 and the other end connected to the arm massage part frame 1210, and imparts an elastic force to the arm massage part frame 1210 with respect to the shaft coupling member 1251 when the arm massage part frame 1210 slides under the guide of the guide hole 1257 and the shaft coupling member 1251, thereby playing a role of buffering. As an example, the buffer member 1258 may employ one or more cylinders filled with gas or built-in springs inside the cylinders. As another example, the buffer member 1258 may be configured by using a spring. When the cushion member 1258 is constituted by using a plurality of cylinders, one end of the cylinder may be connected to the arm massage part frame 1210 through the cylinder bracket 1259.

The rotation module 1270, which rotates the arm massage part 1200 up and down with respect to the main frame 1130, may be provided to rotate the shaft coupling member 1251 by transmitting a rotation force to the rotation shaft 1230 and rotate the arm massage part frame 1210 by the rotation of the shaft coupling member 1251. Referring to fig. 11, the rotation module 1270 may include: a module frame 1279 fixed to one side of the main frame 1130; a rotation shaft 1230 rotatably coupled to the module frame 1279; a motor 1271 transmitting a rotational force to the rotating shaft 1230; a primary worm gear 1272 receiving the rotational force of the motor 1271; a rotational force transmitting shaft 1273, both ends of which are freely rotatably connected to the module frame 1279; a primary worm wheel 1274 and a secondary worm gear 1275 disposed on both sides of the rotational force transmitting shaft 1273; and a secondary worm gear 1276 receiving the rotational force of the secondary worm gear 1275.

The motor 1271 is provided at one side (upper end in the present embodiment) of the module frame 1279, and can be operated by receiving power from the control unit 1400 (see fig. 3) of the massage device.

The primary worm gear 1272 is coupled to the motor 1271 and is rotatable by receiving rotational force from the motor 1271.

A primary worm gear 1274 and a secondary worm gear 1275 are provided at both ends of the rotational force transmitting shaft 1273 so as to be rotatable together with the rotational force transmitting shaft 1273. The both ends of the rotational force transmitting shaft 1273 may be freely rotatably provided to the module frame 1279 by bearings.

The primary worm gear 1274 is provided at one end of the rotational force transmitting shaft 1273, and may receive the rotational force of the primary worm gear 1272 by being meshed with the primary worm gear 1272. A secondary worm gear 1275 is provided at the other end of the rotational force transmitting shaft 1273, and can transmit the received rotational force to the secondary worm gear 1276 by meshing with the secondary worm gear 1276 coupled to the rotational shaft 1230.

The secondary worm gear 1276 is disposed on the outer peripheral portion of the rotation shaft 1230, and rotates by receiving the rotational force from the secondary worm gear 1275. At this time, the secondary worm wheel 1276 may be coupled to the outer circumferential portion of the rotating shaft 1230 by a coupling member (e.g., an adhesive, a screw, etc.).

Therefore, when the motor 1271 receives power from the control unit 1400 (see fig. 3) and rotates in either direction, the primary worm gear 1272 receives the rotational force of the motor 1271 and transmits it to the rotational force transmission shaft 1273, whereby the rotational force transmission shaft 1273 can be rotated. The rotational force of the rotational force transmitting shaft 1273 is transmitted to the secondary worm gear 1276 through the secondary worm gear 1275, whereby the secondary worm gear 1276 and the rotational shaft 1230 can rotate.

Such a rotary module 1270 comprising a primary worm gear 1272 and a primary worm gear 1274, a secondary worm gear 1275 and a secondary worm gear 1276 may provide the following advantages: when an emergency occurs in which the power supply to the motor 1271 is cut off during the rotation of the arm massage part 1200, the arm massage part 1200 is prevented from falling down, and a safety accident is prevented from occurring.

That is, since the above-described worm gear and worm wheel are power transmission means that cannot transmit power by reverse rotation, when the power applied to the motor 1271 is cut off, the motor 1271 does not operate, even if the arm massage part 1200 receives a downward load due to its own weight, the primary worm gear 1272 and primary worm wheel 1274, the secondary worm gear 1275 and secondary worm wheel 1276 do not transmit rotational force, and thus the arm massage part 1200 can be maintained in a stopped state without falling rotationally.

Or even when an unexpected external force in a direction opposite to the rotation direction is applied to the arm massage part 1200, the arm massage part 1200 can be prevented from rotating in the opposite direction by the primary worm gear 1272 and the primary worm gear 1274, the secondary worm gear 1275 and the secondary worm gear 1276.

According to the massage device of the above embodiment, when the rotation shaft 1230 is rotated by the rotation module 1270, the arm massage part 1200 rotates about the rotation shaft 1230, and according to the rotation angle of the arm massage part 1200, the arm massage part 1200 slides along the shaft coupling member 1251 coupled with the rotation shaft 1230 due to its own weight, so that the arm massage part 1200 naturally moves in the front-rear direction (or length direction) with respect to the rotation shaft 1230, and thus the position of one end of the arm massage part 1200 can be adjusted.

Therefore, when the stretching or massaging action is performed by rotationally moving the arm massage part 1200, the position of one end of the arm massage part 1200 with respect to the body massage part 1100 can be naturally adjusted without using an actuator or a driving device that moves the individual arm massage part 1200, thereby adjusting the air bag provided at the arm massage part 1200 to a position preferred by the user.

By thus adjusting the position of one end of the arm massage section 1200 relative to the body massage section 1100, the user's arm can be rotated without overstretching or extending. Thus, the arm can be prevented from being injured, the problem of the arm being detached from the arm massage part 1200 can be solved, and the arm stretching operation can be performed safely.

In addition, the arm massage part 1200 is not excessively slid by the buffer member 1258, so that durability of the arm massage part 1200 is improved, noise is reduced, and accuracy and stability of the movement operation of the arm massage part 1200 are improved, and thus, use satisfaction of the user of the massage apparatus can be improved.

Fig. 12 to 15 show a massage device of another embodiment of the present utility model.

The massage device 1000 of the present embodiment is provided such that the arm massage part frame 1210 constituting the arm massage part 1200 does not move in the front-rear direction with respect to the rotation axis 1230, but when the arm massage part frame 1210 rotates about the rotation axis 1230, the armrest frame 1214 provided on the front side of the arm massage part frame 1210 slides in the front-rear direction, so that the position can be automatically adjusted.

For example, the massage device 1000 of the present embodiment may include a position adjustment module 1260 that adjusts the position of the armrest frame 1214 so that the arm massage part 1200 is linearly moved in the front-rear direction by the self weight of the arm massage part 1200 in conjunction with the rotational motion of the arm massage part 1200.

The position adjustment module 1260 may include: a position adjustment rail 1261 provided inside the armrest groove 1213 of the armrest frame support 1212 extending in the front-rear direction; a handle frame 1214 that moves along the position adjustment rail 1261 when the arm massage part frame 1210 rotates about the rotation axis 1230; and a frame buffer member 1264 that imparts an elastic force in the front-rear direction to the armrest frame 1214 with respect to the armrest frame support 1212 when the armrest frame 1214 moves along the position adjustment rail 1261.

The arm massage part 1200 may include an arm massage part frame 1210 connected to both sides of the main frame 1130. The arm massage part frame 1210 may be rotated up and down about the rotation shafts 1230 provided at both sides of the main frame 1130. As in the above-described embodiment, the rotation shaft 1230 may be disposed near one end (or upper end) of the upper frame 1131. At this time, the upper ends of both sides of the upper frame 1131 may be positions corresponding to both sides of the shoulders of the user, rear upper ends of both sides of the shoulders of the user, and the like. The rotation shaft 1230 may be directly coupled to the upper frame 1131 near the upper end of the upper frame 1131 corresponding to the rear of the shoulders of the user, or coupled through a bracket, a plate, or a frame structure to rotate centering on an axis extending in a lateral direction from the upper end of the upper frame 1131.

The arm massage part frame 1210 can be rotated up and down about the rotation shaft 1230 by the rotation module 1270. Since the rotation module 1270 is identical or similar in structure and function to the rotation module 1270 described with reference to fig. 8 to 11, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Inside the armrest groove 1213 of the armrest frame support 1212, an arm portion into which a user is inserted and seated may be providedA shaped armrest frame 1214, the armrest frame 1214 moving in the front-rear direction (or length direction) under the guidance of the position adjustment rail 1261. The armrest frame 1214 may be formed to correspond to the armrest slot 1213Shape. The inside of the armrest frame 1214 may include at least one of an air bag, a massage module, and a heating module, etc., that may massage the user's arm. The air bag may be inflated and deflated by air supply and discharge to pressurize the user's arm to massage, and the massage module may be configured to massage the arm by vibration of the actuator. The heating module may be arranged to heat the arm to provide a heating massage effect.

A support lower frame 1215 having a position adjustment rail 1261 may be provided on the lower surface of the armrest frame support 1212. The support lower frame 1215 may have a rectangular parallelepiped housing shape with an open upper surface. At least one position adjustment rail 1261 may be provided extending in the front-rear direction (or length direction) in an inner space of the support lower frame 1215. The position adjustment Rail 1261 may have a polygonal rod shape such as a quadrangle or a circular rod shape, and may be configured by using a linear Rail (LM Guide Rail), a slide Rail, or the like.

The armrest frame 1214 may be connected to the position adjustment rail 1261 by a rail connecting member 1262 so as to slide along the position adjustment rail 1261. The rail connecting member 1262 is coupled to the lower surface of the armrest frame 1214, and is movable in the longitudinal direction under the guide of the position adjustment rail 1261 in a state of being accommodated in the inner space of the support lower frame 1215. In addition, the rail connecting member 1262 may have a substantially cubic housing shape in which guide grooves 1263 corresponding to the position adjustment rails 1261 are formed. For example, the rail connecting member 1262 may be stably moved under the guide of the position adjusting rail 1261 inserted into the guide groove 1263.

The armrest frame 1214 or the track connection member 1262 may be connected to the frame cushioning member 1264. When the armrest frame 1214 linearly slides with respect to the position adjustment rail 1261 in conjunction with the rotational movement of the arm massage unit frame 1210, the frame buffer member 1264 imparts an elastic force to the armrest frame 1214 with respect to the armrest frame support unit 1212, and thus serves to reduce the load applied to the armrest frame 1214.

The frame buffer member 1264 may be accommodated in an inner space of the support lower frame 1215. At this time, the frame buffer member 1264 may be a cylinder or a spring having one end connected to the support lower frame 1215 and the other end connected to the armrest frame 1214 or the rail connection member 1262.

According to the massage apparatus of the present embodiment, when the rotation shaft 1230 is rotated by the rotation module 1270, the arm massage part frame 1210 is rotated centering on the rotation shaft 1230, and the arm rest frame 1214 slides under the guide of the position adjustment rail 1261 due to its own weight according to the rotation angle of the arm massage part frame 1210, so that the arm massage part 1200 naturally moves in the front-rear direction (or length direction) with respect to the rotation shaft 1230, and thus the position of the arm rest frame 1214 can be automatically adjusted.

At this time, the frame buffer member 1264 imparts an elastic force in a direction opposite to the moving direction of the armrest frame 1214, thereby reducing the moving speed of the armrest frame 1214, and thus enabling the armrest frame 1214 to move smoothly inside the armrest slot 1213.

As in the embodiment shown in fig. 12 to 15, when the arm massage part 1200 rotates around the rotation axis 1230, the armrest frame 1214 automatically slides in the front-rear direction (or the longitudinal direction) due to its own weight. However, as in the embodiment of the massage apparatus described with reference to fig. 5 to 11, when the arm massage part 1200 rotates about the rotation axis 1230 while linearly moving in the front-rear direction with respect to the rotation axis 1230 and adjusting the position, the user can adjust the position by manually sliding the armrest frame 1214 in the front-rear direction (or length direction), so that the armrest frame 1214 can be adjusted to the position desired by the user.

For example, as shown in fig. 16 and 17, a support portion lower frame 1215 provided with a position adjustment rail 1261 extending in the front-rear direction is provided on the lower surface of the armrest frame support portion 1212 (see fig. 12) of the arm massage portion frame 1210 (see fig. 12), and the concave-convex portion 1291 may be provided in the support portion lower frame 1215 side by side with the position adjustment rail 1261. The concave-convex 1291 may have a bar shape with protrusions and grooves alternately formed on the upper surface.

A guide groove 1263 may be formed in the rail connecting member 1262 coupled to the lower surface of the armrest frame 1214 (see fig. 15), and the position adjustment rail 1261 may be inserted into the guide groove 1263 and guided. In addition, a fixing protrusion 1292 elastically inserted into a groove of the concave-convex portion 1291 and an elastic body 1293 imparting a downward elastic force to the fixing protrusion 1292 may be provided in the rail connecting member 1262. The fixing protrusion 1292 and the elastic body 1293 may be disposed inside the receiving groove 1266 formed in the rail connecting member 1262. The fixing protrusion 1292 may have a spherical shape. The elastomer 1293 may include a spring, rubber, or sponge, or the like.

The fixing protrusion 1292 receives an elastic force from the rail connecting member 1262 to the support lower frame 1215 through the elastic body 1293, so as to be caught in the groove formed in the concave-convex portion 1291. The user can fix the armrest frame 1214 in a comfortable position by the concave-convex portion 1291 and the fixing protrusion 1292 provided at the rail connecting member 1262. That is, the user applies force in the front-rear direction (or the longitudinal direction) to engage the fixing projection 1292 with the other groove included in the concave-convex portion 1291, and the position of the armrest frame 1214 can be easily adjusted to a desired position.

Accordingly, when the arm massage part 1200 is rotated about the rotation axis 1230, the entire arm massage part frame 1210 is linearly moved with respect to the rotation axis 1230, thereby adjusting the position of the arm massage part frame 1210, if the user applies a force of pushing or pulling the armrest frame 1214 forward or backward, the fixing protrusion 1292 moves along the protrusion and groove of the concave-convex part 1291, thereby fixing the armrest frame 1214 at a desired position for position adjustment.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 18, the armrest frame 1214 (see fig. 15) may adjust the position of the arm massage part 1200 in the front-rear direction (or longitudinal direction) as required by using a driving part of a motor.

For example, in a support portion lower frame 1215 provided on the lower surface of the armrest frame support portion 1212 (see fig. 15), a position adjustment rail 1261 and a rack 1296 for guiding the rail connecting member 1262 in the front-rear direction may be provided to extend in the front-rear direction. Further, a position adjustment motor 1295 that receives a control signal from the control unit 1400 (see fig. 3) and operates, and a pinion gear 1297 that is rotated by the position adjustment motor 1295 may be provided on the rail connecting member 1262. Pinion 1297 is meshed with rack 1296, pinion 1297 being rotated by position adjustment motor 1295 to roll along rack 1296 and change its position in the front-rear direction.

When the front-rear direction position of the armrest frame 1214 is adjusted by the position adjustment motor 1295 and the pinion 1297 and rack 1296, the position adjustment rail 1261 may be omitted.

On the other hand, when the arm massage part 1200 of the massage apparatus is rotated upward about the rotation axis 1230, a space is created between the lower part of the arm massage part 1200 and the side part of the body massage part 1100. A pet or a child, etc., may enter through such a space, and at this time, if the arm massage part 1200 is rotated downward, a safety accident (e.g., a jam accident) may occur.

To prevent this, as in the embodiment described in fig. 19 and 20, side shielding films 1281, 1282, 1283 may be provided to shield a space that is created between the lower portion of the arm massage 1200 and the side portion of the body massage 1100 when the arm massage 1200 is rotated upward about the rotation axis 1230. A single side shielding film 1281, 1282, 1283 may be provided, but may be provided as a plurality of side shielding films connected in multiple stages to be unfolded or folded according to the rotation of the arm massage 1200.

For example, the side shielding films 1281, 1282, 1283 may include: a lower side shielding film 1281 attached to one side of the body massage part 1100; an upper side shielding film 1282 that is combined with the arm massage part 1200 and moves together with the arm massage part 1200; and a middle side shielding film 1283 connected between the lower side shielding film 1281 and the upper side shielding film 1282 in a vertically movable manner.

The lower side shielding film 1281 may be fixed to the side panel 1102 provided at the side of the body massaging portion 1100. The lower side shielding film 1281 may be bonded to the side panel 1102 so as not to be detached to the outside of the side panel 1102.

An upper end of the upper side shielding film 1282 may be fixed to at least one of a lower end and a side of the arm massage frame 1210 of the arm massage 1200.

The middle side shielding film 1283 may be provided to be slidable between a side (e.g., an outer side) of the lower side shielding film 1281 and a side (e.g., an inner side) of the upper side shielding film 1282.

The lower guide hole 1284 and the upper guide hole 1285 are formed in the lower side shielding film 1281 and the upper side shielding film 1282 in a circular arc shape extending in the up-down direction, respectively, and a lower draw pin 1287 and an upper draw pin 1286 inserted into and guided inside the lower guide hole 1284 and the upper guide hole 1285 may be provided at the upper and lower portions of the middle side shielding film 1283.

When the arm massage part 1200 rotates upward, the upper side shielding film 1282 may rotate upward together with the arm massage part 1200. At this time, when the lower end of the upper guide hole 1285 is caught on the upper drawing pin 1286 of the middle side shielding film 1283, the middle side shielding film 1283 may be drawn upward to move and spread together. At this time, the lower traction pin 1287 of the middle side shielding film 1283 may be guided and moved along the lower guide hole 1284.

In this way, the lower side shielding film 1281, the middle side shielding film 1283, and the upper side shielding film 1282 slide and spread with each other, thereby shielding between the lower portion of the arm massage part 1200 and the side portion of the body massage part 1100, and thus, it is possible to prevent a security accident of a pet, a child, or the like from getting stuck.

When the arm massage part 1200 is rotated downward, the lower side shielding film 1281, the middle side shielding film 1283, and the upper side shielding film 1282 are folded in reverse order.

In the present embodiment, one intermediate side shielding film 1283 is disposed between the lower side shielding film 1281 and the upper side shielding film 1282, but the intermediate side shielding film 1283 may not be disposed or two or more may be disposed according to circumstances.

In addition, the single or multiple side shielding films of the folded body shape or the corrugated shape are configured to be unfolded or folded according to the rotation of the arm massage part 1200, so that a space generated between the lower part of the arm massage part 1200 and the side part of the body massage part 1100 can be easily shielded. In addition, various folded shielding film structures can be used for the side shielding film. On the other hand, as shown in fig. 5 and 21 or 22, the massage device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may further include leg massage parts 1300 that are rotatable independently of each other.

The leg massage parts 1300 may be provided to correspond to both side legs of the user. For example, the leg massage part 1300 may include: a first leg massage part 1310 corresponding to one leg of the user; and a second leg massage part 1330 corresponding to the other leg of the user.

The first leg massage portion 1310 and the second leg massage portion 1330 may be independently controlled. For example, the first leg massage part 1310 and the second leg massage part 1330 may separately provide a massage function to the user. In addition, the first leg massage part 1310 and the second leg massage part 1330 may be independently rotated. The user's both legs can be provided with different massages or alternatively provided with massages according to the need. In addition, stretching or massaging according to rotation may be provided to both side legs of the user. In this case, the first leg massage part 1310 and the second leg massage part 1330 may simultaneously rotate or separately rotate both legs of the user.

Referring to fig. 21, the massage device 1000 may include a leg angle actuator 1350 for rotating the leg massage 1300. The leg angle actuator 1350 may be disposed inside the body massaging portion 1100. For example, a leg angle actuator may be connected to the main frame 1130.

The leg angle actuator 1350 may be driven to extend in one direction. The leg massage 1300 may rotate as the leg angle actuator 1350 extends. The leg angle actuators 1350 may be provided to correspond to the first and second leg massage parts 1310 and 1330, respectively. The two leg angle actuators 1350 are connected to the first and second leg massage parts 1310 and 1330, respectively, so that the first and second leg massage parts 1310 and 1330 can be rotated individually.

The leg angle actuator 1350 may include a link member 1351 at one end. The link member 1351 may provide rotational power to the leg massage part 1300 by contacting the leg massage part 1300. The wheel 1351a may be provided at an end of the link member 1351 on the leg massage portion 1300 side.

Referring to fig. 2 and 22, the leg massage part 1300 may be rotatably connected to a leg connection frame 1131b provided at the main frame 1130. The upper frame 1131 may include a leg connection frame 1131b. The leg connection frame 1131b may be provided at a front end of the upper frame 1131. The leg connection frame 1131b may be manufactured as a separate member and coupled to the upper frame 1131, or may be integrally manufactured with the upper frame 1131. When the leg link frame 1131b is integrally manufactured with the upper frame 1131, the leg link frame 1131b may refer to one constituent element of the upper frame 1131.

A center support bracket 1530 and side support brackets 1550 may be connected to the center portion and both side end portions of the leg connection frame 1131 b. For example, the center support bracket 1530 and the side support brackets 1550 may be welded to the leg connection frame 1131b, or may be coupled by fastening members such as bolts, rivets, or the like. However, the method of coupling the center support bracket 1530 and the side support brackets 1550 to the leg connection frame 1131b may be replaced by various methods commonly used in the art to which the present utility model pertains.

The center support bracket 1530 and the side support brackets 1550 may rotatably fix the leg massage part 1300.

The first and second leg massage parts 1310 and 1330 may be disposed in front of the leg connection frame 1131 b. For example, the first leg massage part 1310 may be disposed at the front right side of the leg connection frame 1131b, and the second leg massage part 1330 may be disposed at the front left side of the leg connection frame 1131 b.

The technical idea of the present utility model has been described above with reference to the drawings, but this is merely an exemplary preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the present utility model. In addition, it will be understood by those skilled in the art to which the present utility model pertains that various modifications and simulations may be performed without departing from the technical spirit of the present utility model.

In addition, the structure and function of the massage device of the present specification can be extended and applied to various (wearable) health care devices that can provide health care functions (e.g., massage functions, biosignal measurement functions, etc.). Accordingly, the "massage device" in this specification may be replaced with a "(wearable) health device" for illustration.
