Description

[0001] MASSAGER APPARATUS [0002]

The present invention relates to a massage device which is mounted on a seat and provides a custom massage through adjustment of strength and order according to a user's taste.

Conventionally, the massage device of the vehicle seat is a standardized type, and performs only a massage function such as simply controlling the strength by ON / OFF using one or two buttons. Therefore, since the body shape and the symbol of the user are not considered, a sufficient massage effect as desired can not be obtained depending on the user.

Therefore, the massaging part and the strength can be adjusted according to the user's body shape, age and preference in accordance with the trend of the high-level of the vehicle, so that a detailed massage can be received, and a massaging device capable of satisfying the customer's emotional demand is needed.

It should be understood that the foregoing description of the background art is merely for the purpose of promoting an understanding of the background of the present invention and is not to be construed as an admission that the prior art is known to those skilled in the art.

KR 20-0353250 Y1

The present invention has been proposed in order to solve such a problem, and it is possible to adjust the massage part and the strength according to the body shape, age and taste of the user in accordance with the trend of the luxury of the vehicle, The purpose of the massage device is to provide.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a massage device comprising: a plurality of massage means provided on a seat; A remote controller coupled to a sensing member capable of sensing an operation or the like and having a control unit and controlling the massage unit according to an operation; And a recognition member coupled to the seat and recognizing the position of the massage means and the operation of the remote control.

The massage unit may include a plurality of unit cells, and each unit cell may be operable by the remote controller.

The recognition member recognizes the position of the remote control and can control the operation of the corresponding unit cell when the remote control is less than a predetermined distance from the unit cell of the massage member.

The controller may store a pattern in which the massage unit is operated by the remote controller, and repeat the operation of the massage unit according to the stored operation pattern.

The sensing member may be an acceleration sensor.

According to the massage device having the structure as described above, unlike the massage operation of the conventional simple operation, it is possible to customize the intensity of the massage and the selection of the massage area according to the user's body type, age and preference, And the like, it is possible to develop a user-oriented sheet, thereby improving the merchantability and enhancing the brand image.

1 shows a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIGS. 2 to 3 are views showing details of the operation of FIG. 1. FIG.
Figure 4 is a flow chart illustrating the operation of the memory function of Figure 1;

Hereinafter, a massage device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIGS. 2 to 3 are views showing details of the operation of FIG. 1, and FIG. It is a flowchart. While the present invention has been shown and described as applying the massage device to the seat 100 of the vehicle, it is applicable wherever the massage means can be combined.

A massage device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of massage means 110 provided on a seat 100; A remote controller 300 coupled to a sensing member 310 capable of sensing an operation or the like and having a controller (not shown) and controlling the massage unit 110 according to an operation; And a sensing member 130 coupled to the seat 100 and recognizing the position of the massage means 110 and the operation of the remote control 300.

The massage unit 110 is coupled to a seat back of the seat 100, and provides a massage with a strength selected by a user to a part selected by the user according to the user's body shape, age and preference. The massaging unit 100 is composed of a plurality of unit cells 111, and each unit cell 111 can be operated by the remote controller 300.

The massage unit 110 is controlled by a remote controller 300. The sensing member 310 of the remote controller 300 may be an acceleration sensor and may be a gyro sensor among accelerometers. The gyro sensor can sense the position, the direction, and the speed. When the user operates the remote controller 300 at a specific speed and direction so that the massage unit 110 operates according to his or her preference, The controller 310 senses the position, speed, and operation of the remote controller 300 and provides massage suitable for the user's preference.

The recognition member 130 recognizing the positional relationship between the unit cell 111 of the massage unit 110 and the remote controller 300 is coupled to the seat 100. The sensing member 130 may be a coordinate sensor. The recognition unit 130 recognizes the position of the remote control 300 and recognizes that the remote control 300 is close to the unit cell 111 of the massaging unit 110 by a predetermined distance or less. As shown in FIG. Thus, the user can control the specific unit cell 111 of the massage unit 110 to operate more strongly or weakly. The control unit of the remote controller 300 may allow a user to store a pattern in which the massage unit 300 operates through the remote controller 300. In the case of a user who frequently uses the massage unit 300, It can be recalled and used repeatedly.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the user desires to massage a specific part of the body stronger or weaker, he / she wants to receive massage more strongly after approaching the remote controller 300 to the corresponding part, The unit cell 111 of the massage unit 110 is recognized by the recognition member 130 and the unit cell 111 is operated according to the request of the user by moving the remote controller slowly . In addition, the unnecessary unit cells 111 can be controlled not to operate according to the body shape of the user, so that a desired strength massage can be provided to a desired site according to the needs of the user.

As shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 4, after designating the unit cells 111 activated in accordance with the preference of the user in order, the designated contents are stored, and the operation can be performed according to the stored contents at a later time. FIG. 4 is a flowchart sequentially showing the operation of the storage function, and shows a method of storing designated contents. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a massage that meets the needs of the user as described above, and to store the usage pattern of the user so as to be repeatedly used, thereby improving customer satisfaction.

According to the massage device, unlike the massage operation of the conventional simple operation, the intensity of the massage and the selection of the massage part can be customized according to the user's body shape, age and preference, By implementing high-level advanced technology, it is possible to develop user-oriented sheets to improve the merchantability and enhance the brand image.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the following claims It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.
