Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention proposes a pressure circulation massage device which is a portable medical device worn on the body (10). The body 10 targets calves for the improvement of the venous circulation disorder, but is not necessarily limited to these regions. The present invention aims at improving convenience of use in everyday life or traveling based on simplicity of carrying.

According to the present invention, the wearing means 20 is in close contact with the body 10 with the wearing band 21 and the pressing band 22. The wear band 21 covers the desired part of the body as a whole and comes in a somewhat resilient contact. The pressing band 22 contacts the outer surface of the wearing band 21 and is disposed at regular intervals. 1 and 4 illustrate a state in which four pushing bands 22 are disposed on the wear band 21. Fig. The pressing band (22) uses a material having less elastic deformation than the wearing band (21).

On the other hand, since the wear band 21 and the pressing band 22 are in sliding contact, it is preferable to use a material having good wear resistance. A Teflon resin layer may be added to the contact surface between the wear band 21 and the pressing band 22 as occasion demands.

The wear band 21 and the push band 22 of the wearing means 20 are connected to one side and the other side of the casing 23 and at least one end of the push band 22 is connected to the casing 23). The casing 23 is connected to and supported by the wearing means 20, and also serves to receive the driving means 30 and the control means 40, which will be described later. The wearing band 21 and the pressing band 22 are connected to one side and the other side of the casing 23 at the same time while the wearing band 21 is fixedly connected while the pressing band 22 is variably connected. The variable connection is an element that performs a massage function through tension and relaxation of the wear band 21. 1 and 2, the right end of the pressing band 22 is in a fixed state and the left end is illustrated in a variable state.

As a modification of the present invention, the wearing means 20 includes a cushioning portion 25 provided on at least the inner surface of the wearing band 21 to absorb impact acting on the body 10, (27) for adjusting the length of the wear band (21) and the pressing band (22) correspondingly. The cushioning part 25 is formed to have a structure capable of selectively attaching and replacing a gel pad, a sponge, a rubber or the like according to the user's physical condition or taste. The detachable portion 27 is configured to make the massage device easy to wear on the user's body, and to easily disassemble when overload occurs. 2, the attaching / detaching portions 27 are formed on both sides of the bands 21 and 22, but they may be formed at one position or may be formed at a position adjacent to the casing 23.

As shown in FIG. 1, the casing 23 may be provided with the driving means 30 and the control means 40, or two casings 23 may be disposed adjacent to each other as shown in FIG. 2, The means 40 may be separately accommodated. In either case, the casing 23 does not exhibit a massage function, so it is worn so as to come to a place with little relation to the venous circulation.

According to the present invention, the driving means (30) is connected to one side of the wearing means (20) to relax and relax the pressing band (22). The process in which the driving means 30 relaxes and relaxes the pressing band 22 means a repetitive motion pattern that realizes the basic operation of the massage. 1 and 2 illustrate a state in which the driving means 30 is connected to the left end of the pressing band 22 to perform a variable movement.

The driving means 30 applies a driving force of the motor 33 to the rotating shaft 31 that windably supports the wearing band 21 so that the driving shaft 30 and the motor 33 And the elastic body 38 is connected to the bi-directional rotation or rotation shaft 31 to cause a unidirectional rotation. The rotary shaft 31 is rotatably received on the casing 23, and the motor 33 is mounted to apply a driving force to the rotary shaft 31. Fig. 3 illustrates two embodiments for embodying the drive means 30. Fig.

3 (a) shows a worm gear type in which a worm wheel 35 is connected to a rotary shaft 31 and a worm 36 is connected to a motor 33. In Fig. This repeats tension and relaxation of the pressing band 22 in accordance with one-directional and other-directional driving of the motor 33. Fig. 3 (b) shows a method of eliminating the worm gear and performing the return by the elastic body 38 while directly connecting the motor 33 to the rotary shaft 31. Fig. This relaxes the pressing band 22 in one-directional driving of the motor 33 and relaxes the pressing band 22 with the elastic body 38 at the same time as the motor 33 is turned off. 3 (a), even when the motor 33 is turned off, the state of the push band 22 is maintained, while the power for turning on and off the motor 33 is continuously consumed. 3 (b), the power consumption is continuously consumed for maintaining the state of the pressing band 22, but it is advantageous for realizing the configuration of the light and thin die. Maintaining the state of the pressing band 22 is one of the operations required in the massage process.

According to the present invention, the control means (40) controls the plurality of pressing bands (22) individually via the driving means (30). The control means 40 is an element for driving a plurality of driving means 30 with a predetermined algorithm to perform massaging for the improvement of the venous circulation disorder. Of course, besides the set algorithm, it is also possible to perform the massage function desired by the user by controlling the pressing band 22 by manual selection.

The control means 40 includes a controller 41 for performing an algorithm that is set up, a sensor for detecting the operating state of the wearing band 21, a communication module 42 for processing wired and wireless communication with the remote device 48, (44), and a power source unit (46) formed of a rechargeable battery. The controller 41 comprises a microprocessor, a memory, and a microcomputer circuit having an input / output interface. At least one of the pressure sensor 42 and the position sensor 43 may be used as the sensor. The pressure sensor 42 is installed in the wear band 21 or the pressing band 22 to detect the massage pressure and the position sensor 43 is provided with a hall sensor or encoder in the motor 33, The rotation angle is detected. The communication module 44 transmits / receives a control signal to / from a remote device 48 such as a remote control or a mobile phone. In addition, it supports Bluetooth function, and it is possible to manage patient's treatment and other data through mobile phone app. The power supply unit 46 is accommodated in one side of the casing 23 to provide power for operation and can be charged using an external power source.

The user wears the wear band 21 and the attaching / detaching portion 27 of the pushing band 22 on the calf to fix the length by tightening the attaching / detaching portion 27 in accordance with the user's body condition, (41) is set to the automatic mode, and a plurality of pressing bands (22) sequentially massage and relax while performing massage. Of course, the tension, relaxation time, pressure and the like of the pressing band 22 are set in advance. The user may change the tension / relaxation pattern of the pressing band 22 by setting the controller 41 to the manual mode as necessary.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It is therefore intended that such variations and modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.
