The present invention relates to a spine corrector, by adopting a structure for performing a torsional movement of the upper and lower body support seat by the upper and lower body torsion axis connected to the drive motor and the crank member, fear of injury due to excessive stimulation on each part of the user's body The present invention relates to a vertebrae corrector that provides a constant torsional stimulus at an appropriate intensity to correct the spine and to relax or strengthen the muscles and ligaments around the spine.

Normally, the lower body is attached to the floor with the upper body attached to the floor, more specifically, the knees bent and twisted lightly to the left and right during rehabilitation treatment after spinal injury, or those who spend most of their time sitting on chairs, such as students or office workers. In addition to chiropractic can be said to be effective in strengthening the muscles and ligaments surrounding the spine.

However, such exercise is difficult to control the proper exercise intensity if performed without the training or assistance of the expert, it can be said that the risk of recurring muscle and ligament damage, including the spine is present.

From the above point of view, such as the "vertebral braces" of the Patent No. 206585 (hereinafter, 'prior art 1') can be mentioned, Figures 1 and 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the overall configuration of the prior art.

Here, of course, the coupling portion of the lower torsional shaft 430 and the bracket 310 may also be coupled to the bearing.

In addition, the lower end support sheet 130 side end portion of the upper body torsion shaft 420 and the upper end support sheet 120 side end portion of the lower body torsion shaft 430 are mutually formed by gears 424 and 434 formed on respective outer circumferential surfaces thereof. The gear is engaged and rotated.

At this time, the driving force of the upper and lower torsional shafts 420 and 430 is briefly transmitted by the driving motor 500 through the crank member 600 to be described later.

On the other hand, the drive motor 500 is disposed on the distal side of the lower torsional shaft 430 serves to transmit the driving force to the upper, lower torsional shafts 420, 430, the transmission of such a driving force is crank By the member 600.

On the other hand, the spinal braces according to the present invention is provided with a heating mechanism 700 between the upper, lower body support sheet (120, 130) of the upper surface of the lower frame 300 to serve to radiate heat and far-infrared to the upper side. .

The heating mechanism 700 is a far-infrared lamp 710 spaced apart from both sides of the upper surface of the lower frame 300 about the upper and lower torsional shafts 420 and 430 coupled to the gears 424 and 434. And the irradiation plate 730 is made of a cover sheet 720 provided on the upper surface.

The far-infrared lamp 710 is known and suitable for medical use in which far-infrared rays are radiated, and the shade 712 protecting the far-infrared lamp 710 is preferably made of a ceramic material including loess from which far-infrared rays are emitted.

The cover sheet 720 covers the far-infrared lamp 710 from the upper side and serves to be disposed in the space between the upper and lower body support sheets 120 and 130.

Here, the irradiation plate 730 is mounted on the top surface of the cover sheet 720 and a plurality of through holes 732 are formed through the surface, the far infrared rays emitted from the far infrared lamp 710 directly to the user's body In addition to the transmission, in order to check whether the far-infrared lamp 710 is turned on, a transparent or semi-transparent far-infrared ceramic material is adopted.

Therefore, compared to the upper and lower body support seats 120 and 130 in which the heating wire is selectively embedded through the heating mechanism 700, heat and far-infrared rays of relatively high temperature are irradiated to the lower side of the spine of the user so that muscles and ligaments around the spine can be examined. You will be able to perform a moderate amount of torsional exercise in a relaxed state while relaxing.

As described above, the present invention provides a torsional stimulus at a constant intensity without worrying about injuries due to unreasonable stimulation on each part of the user, so as to correct the spine and relax or strengthen the muscles and ligaments around the spine, It can be seen that the basic technical idea is to provide spinal braces that can implement the same operation as that of expensive products and can immediately deal with malfunctions and are easy to replace and repair.

In addition, within the scope of the basic technical idea of the present invention, a person having ordinary knowledge in the industry may properly adjust the exercise intensity with a controller provided separately while the user is lying in contact with the body on the head, upper and lower body support sheets. Of course, many other modifications and applications are possible, such as being able to make or stop the operation immediately in the event of an abnormality in the body.

According to the present invention having the above configuration, the following effects can be expected.

First, irradiate far-infrared rays and heat to the lower part of the spine to relax the muscles and ligaments around the spine to relax, and then adopt a structure that gives the body a constant torsional stimulus at an appropriate intensity. It is possible to strengthen the ligaments and muscles around the spine and spine without fear of injury.

In addition, by adopting a method of transmitting the driving force by the drive motor through the crank member to the upper and lower torsional shaft, compared to the prior art, which requires more parts than necessary and increases the manufacturing cost, the existing components are expensive even with a small number of components. The same behavior as the product can be implemented, resulting in significant manufacturing cost savings.

In addition, a driving motor is required for each component for the operation of each component, and thus the energy cost required for driving can be drastically reduced by adopting a structure capable of implementing a torsional motion with one driving motor, compared to the prior art in which energy consumption is severe. .

In addition, as compared to the prior art which is difficult to respond to the malfunction of the drive motor and the components connected to the drive motor and the components connected to the drive more than necessary, it is a structure that performs a torsional movement with one drive motor, the cause of failure and It is a very useful invention, as there is an advantage that the location can be clearly and intuitively responded.
