Description

[0001] MASSAGING APPARATUS FOR IMPROVING BLOODSTREAM AND CIRCULATION OF BLOOD [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a massage device, and more particularly, to a massage device for effectively stimulating a dermal layer of a skin to improve blood flow and smooth blood circulation.

In general, vacuum therapy is a herbal medicine therapy used for blood purification and improvement of body composition. It uses a suction device that can take in air by dropping a cup-shaped device on the affected part to be treated, By pulling out and vacuuming, a part of the skin of the treatment area is sucked into the inside of the cup, the muscles are loosened, the nerve is stabilized, and the pores of the skin are opened, so that the waste in the human body, which exists in the capillary through the pores, It can be used to smooth out the blood in the blood vessels, as well as to extract the treated blood or pus.

Such a vacuum therapy can be roughly classified into two types. One is a method in which a predetermined amount of combustion material is sprinkled inside a cup and is burned for a predetermined time, thereby forming a vacuum in the inside of the cup. And a vacuum is formed through an operation of extracting the air inside the cup by using an inhaler or a suction pump to be attached to the human body.

On the other hand, since such a vacuum treatment apparatus simply removes waste materials or blood from the body using negative pressure, it is difficult to control the suction pressure, thereby causing irritation to the skin tissue.

1 is a conceptual diagram for explaining a massage device 100 for improving blood flow and promoting blood circulation according to embodiments of the present invention. As shown, the massage device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a main body 102, a controller 104,

The body 102 may be mounted to a portion of the body of the user 108, for example, a head (head), and may provide a massage function using pressure, or pressure and heat, . Here, the massage function means that a specific part of the body part to be massaged is pulled, and the other part of the body part is pressed to give a stimulation of the waveform (shiatsu).

In Fig. 1, a body 102 is mounted on the head of a user 108. Fig. However, without being limited thereto, for example, the body 102 may be configured to be mounted on various body parts of the user 108, rather than the head as shown. For example, when a part of the body to be massaged, such as a woman's breast, elbow, knee, or ankle, can be placed in the interior of the body 102 as it is or in a folded state, massaging of this body part is possible. For example, FIG. 16 shows a case where the main body 102 is mounted on a woman's breast. In the following description, the main body 102 is mainly attached to the head of the user 108 for convenience.

The size of the body 102 may vary depending on the size of the body part to be massaged, that is, the size of the massage part. For example, when the body 102 is intended for massaging the head of the user 108 as described above, the body 102 may have a size sufficient to engage a portion of the head 108 of the user 108, Lt; / RTI > Here, a portion of the head portion may mean a specific portion of the head portion requiring massage, or may be the upper portion of the head portion, as shown in FIG. The upper side of the tofu can mean the brow upper part in the tofu. Also, in another embodiment, when body 102 is attached to a woman's breast, rather than to the head, body 102 may be sized to correspond to the size of the breast to massage the woman's breast. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the body 102 may be provided in various sizes, and the user 108 may use the body 102 having a size determined to be appropriate for a part of the body, .

The controller 104 supplies the body 102 with the necessary negative pressure and / or power. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed configuration of the controller 104 according to the embodiments of the present invention. 2, the controller 104 according to embodiments of the present invention includes a negative pressure generating unit 202, a power supply unit 204, and a control unit 206. As shown in FIG.

The negative pressure generating section 202 supplies negative pressure to the main body 102. For this purpose, the negative pressure generator 202 may include a vacuum generator module. The vacuum generating module may be, for example, one of a vacuum pump module, an ejector module, and a blow module. On the other hand, the negative pressure generating unit 202 may be configured to adjust the negative pressure supplied to the main body 102. That is, the user may be provided to adjust the degree of the negative pressure by operating a negative pressure regulator such as a switch (not shown) connected to the negative pressure generator 202 in consideration of the user's preferred massage negative pressure or skin sensitivity. Further, it goes without saying that, when the user's age range is input, the negative pressure supplied to the main body 102 within the predetermined negative pressure range can be automatically adjusted.

When a vacuum pump module is used in the negative pressure generator 202, a pneumatic vacuum pump can be used. In the following, a case where a vacuum pump module is used will be mainly described. When the vacuum pump module is used in the negative pressure generating part 202, the vacuum pump module may include an air inlet (not shown) and an air outlet (not shown). At this time, the air inlet may be connected to the main body 102 via the connecting portion 106, and the air outlet may be connected to the outside of the controller 104. Thus, the vacuum pump module can generate a vacuum state by a pump in a predetermined space in the interior of the vacuum pump module, thereby discharging the air introduced into the air inlet to the air outlet. Air introduced into the vacuum pump module from the air inlet can be introduced into the space between the user's massage area and the massage device when air inside the body 102 or when the user wears the massage device according to the embodiment of the present invention Lt; / RTI > A negative pressure can be supplied to the main body 102 by the action of the vacuum pump module. The size of the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure generator 202 may be appropriately set according to the body part to be massaged, and may be, for example, 10 to 30 kPa. According to the embodiment, the negative pressure generating unit 202 may continuously generate a negative pressure of a predetermined magnitude in order to maintain a predetermined vacuum state in the inside of the main body 102. It may also be configured to generate the negative pressure intermittently according to a predetermined period.

The power supply unit 204 supplies power for driving the vacuum pump module of the negative pressure generating unit 202. The power supply unit 204 may include a battery (battery), and may be configured to receive power through a line connected from the outside, though it is not shown in the drawing. The power supply unit 204 may be connected to the main body 102 via a connection unit 106 to be described later to supply power to the main body 102.

The control unit 206 controls the functions of the respective modules included in the controller 104. For example, the control unit 206 controls the power supply of the negative pressure generating unit 202 according to the operation of the user 108, adjusts the magnitude of the negative pressure generated in the negative pressure generating unit 202, The generation period, and the like. The control unit 206 may be configured to turn on / off the power supplied from the power supply unit 204 to the main body 102. To this end, the control unit 206 may include a control means such as a button, a switch, or a negative pressure control lever operable by the user 108. [ Here, the control means such as a switch is not limited to being located inside or outside the controller 104, and may be provided in the main body 102 so that the user 108 can easily operate the control means.

The connection portion 106 connects the main body 102 and the controller 104 to each other. The connection portion 106 may include a flexible air tube for delivering the negative pressure generated in the negative pressure generating portion 202 of the controller 104 to the main body 102. The air tube included in the connection portion 106 is formed to have a rigidity not to be closed during the process of transmitting negative pressure from the negative pressure generating portion 202 to the main body 102, for example, a degree of rigidity not to be blocked by a negative pressure of 10 to 30 kPa Lt; / RTI > The negative pressure transfer from the negative pressure generating portion 202 to the main body 102 can be achieved by moving the air to the negative pressure generating portion 202 through the air passage in the air tube. The connection unit 106 may include a conductive cable or the like for transmitting the power supplied from the power supply unit 204 to the main body 102.

Meanwhile, the embodiments of the present invention include pressure difference forming units 306, 406, 606, and 806 capable of simultaneously applying a positive pressure and a negative pressure to a part of a body to be massaged. The pressure difference forming portions 306, 406, 606, and 806 may be formed on a part of the body facing portion 304 of the body 102. The body facing portion 304 is a portion provided on the inner space side of the main body 102, specifically, on the inner space side of the main body housings 302 and 502, and can face a part of the body that can be located in the inner space. The body facing portion 304 may be formed of a soft material and may be formed of silicon when considering contact with the body, skin irritation, and soft function. The pressure difference forming portions 306, 406, 606, and 806 are formed on a portion of the body facing portion 304 and include at least one of a groove and a protrusion. That is, the pressure difference forming portions 306, 406, 606, and 806 may include only grooves (first embodiment), only protrusions (second embodiment), or both grooves and protrusions Third, and fourth embodiments).

Hereinafter, the first to fourth embodiments of the present invention will be described in order. The following description is a description of exemplary embodiments of the invention.

FIG. 3 is a side sectional view for explaining a detailed configuration of the main body 102 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a bottom perspective view of the main body 102 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the body 102 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 302, a body facing portion 304, a plurality of grooves 306, and an air container 308. In the first embodiment of the present invention, the groove 306 is the pressure difference forming portion 306. A negative pressure (pulling force) is applied to a part of the body facing portion 304 where the groove 306 is formed by the negative pressure supply from the negative pressure generating portion 202, A positive pressure is applied to a part (pressing force).

The housing 302 forms the contour of the body 102 and is a portion that surrounds the body part (e.g., head, breast, knee, elbow, etc.) the user 108 wants to massage. The housing 302 is opened at one side so that a body part to be massaged can enter (hereinafter, the same applies to other embodiments). The housing 302 has an interior space for accommodating the body part that the user 108 wants to massage and may, for example, have a hemispherical shape as shown. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the shape may be modified to fit the body part to be massaged. That is, when the main body 102 massage the head, the portion corresponding to the rear portion of the head may be formed to be longer than the portion corresponding to the front portion so as to match the human head shape. It may also be formed in an elliptical shape to match the shape of the folded knee or elbow.

The body facing portion 304 is provided on the inner space side of the housing 302 and confronts a body part to be massaged. The body facing portion 304 may be formed of a soft material so that the skin facing the body, for example, the body skin to be massaged, can have a high degree of close contact with the skin. For example, it may be made of a material such as soft plastic or silicon.

The plurality of grooves 306 may be formed on the surface of the body facing portion 304 forming the inner surface of the body 102, that is, the surface facing the body part. The plurality of grooves 306 may be U-shaped or V-shaped grooves, and at least a part of them may be configured to communicate with each other. In the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of grooves 306 are formed in a lattice shape in the lateral and vertical directions along the body facing portion 304 of the housing 302. However, the present invention is not limited to this, but may be formed in various forms in which a negative pressure supplied through the connection portion 106 can be supplied between the inner surface of the main body 102 and the massage portion. The grooves 306 of the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the grooves 306 of a specific type but may be formed in a shape free from the surface of the body facing portion 304. [

The air container 308 is formed in the housing 302, specifically, on the top or side of the housing 302. The air container 308 is communicated with each of the plurality of grooves 306 through the first connection port 310 and connected to the air tube 314 included in the connection portion 206 through the second connection port 312 . That is, the negative pressure generated in the negative pressure generating part 202 is transmitted to the air container 308 through the air tube 314 and a plurality of grooves 306 communicating therewith. This negative pressure is transmitted to the negative pressure generating portion 202 through the air container 308 via the plurality of grooves 306 and between the body facing portion 304 and the body, As shown in FIG. Further, the movement of the air can cause the body-facing portion 304 to be brought into contact with the skin of the body and the head, thereby achieving the massage effect of the skin.

When a negative pressure is generated, a part of the body can be sucked toward the air container 308 side with respect to the first connection port 310. A part of the body is sucked to the air container 308 side, and the massage effect of the body can be maximized. For this purpose, the first connector 310 may have a diameter of 3 to 5 cm. Particularly, in the case of performing head massaging, the diameter of the first connector 310 may be about 5 cm, and the diameter of the first connector 310 may be about 3 cm when the female is massaged.

Here, the air container 308 can serve as a buffer for negative pressure transmission during the process of transmitting the negative pressure generated from the negative pressure generating part 202 to the plurality of grooves 306. That is, the air container 308 is positioned between the negative pressure generating part 202 and the groove 306 so that the negative pressure generated from the negative pressure generating part 202 is not directly transmitted to the plurality of grooves 306, 308, thereby acting as a damping capable of giving a time delay to the process of transferring the negative pressure to the groove 306. Accordingly, in the massage device according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the supply and the release of the negative pressure are performed intermittently, such a negative pressure can be smoothly transmitted to the body, thereby providing comfort to the person receiving the massage. In addition, the movement of the blood flow due to the supply and release of the negative pressure can be induced smoothly and continuously.

In order to maximize the massage effect, the maximum diameter of the air container 308 may be greater than the diameter of the first connector 310. In particular, the maximum diameter of the air container 308 may be 1.5 to 2 times greater than the diameter of the first connector 310.

In addition, when the massage device 100 according to the present embodiment is used for massage of the head, the air container 308 may be located at a position corresponding to the crown of the head. Thereby, the massage effect near the crown of the head where the blood flow of the head is concentrated can be performed more efficiently.

5 is a view for explaining a massage effect through the body facing portion 304 and the groove 306 of the massage device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

When the negative pressure is supplied from the negative pressure generating portion 202, the body facing portion 304 can be brought into close contact with the skin of the user 108 wearing the body 102. In addition, the plurality of grooves 306 form a kind of channel through which the negative pressure moves due to the skin of the user 108 which is in close contact with the user. Accordingly, as shown by the arrows in the drawing, a portion (A) in contact with the body facing portion 304 corresponding to the body facing portion 304 in the skin is partially covered with the body facing portion 304, for example, A pressure is applied to the outside of the body by the negative pressure transmitted to the inside of the groove 306 at the portion B corresponding to the groove 306 when the pressure is applied to the inside of the head portion (pressing force) ). As a result, the pressure (force) acts in different directions depending on the position of the body part where the pressure is to be massaged. For example, a pressing force and a pulling force can be applied to the wave shape, respectively. Here, the portion A which can be brought into close contact with the head portion may be formed so as to occupy the same area as the portion B which is not in contact with the head portion. In addition, the portion where the portion A is in close contact with the head may be an arc shape as shown in Fig. 5, or may be a shape in which protrusions are repeatedly formed so as to have a corrugated shape, though not shown in the figure. Here, when the portion A is formed in a shape in which the protrusions are repeated, the pressure applied at the portion A is transmitted to the head through the hill portion of the protrusion, so that the pressure can be more efficiently transmitted to the head.

As a result, in the area A, the skin is pressed and the dermal layer is massaged. On the contrary, in the area B, the skin is pulled and the dermal layer is massaged. As a result, the blood flow inside the skin is driven to the portion B, thereby improving blood flow in the head and inducing blood flow to the skin surface. Thus, the massage effect of the massage device according to the embodiment of the present invention can be maximized.

When the negative pressure is released from the negative pressure generating part 202, on the other hand, the pressure applied to a part of the body to be massaged is released to the part A as described above. Therefore, when the negative pressure is repeatedly supplied and released from the negative pressure generating part 202, the body facing part 304 and the groove 306 stimulate the dermal layer of the skin to be massaged while repeating body stimulation .

Meanwhile, the body 102 according to the first embodiment of the present invention may further include a heat generating part 316 inside the housing 302. The heat generating unit 316 may include one or more heat lines, and the heat lines may be configured to generate heat by a power source supplied from the power supply unit 204. [ Accordingly, a proper amount of heat is supplied to the skin during massage, thereby doubling the massage effect.

6 and 7 are views for explaining the blood circulation promotion effect of the air container 308 of the massage device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. When negative pressure is supplied from the negative pressure generating part 202 to the air container 308, the blood in the user's body 108 is sucked by the suction force of the negative pressure as indicated by the arrow in FIG. . Accordingly, sufficient blood is supplied to the skin to be massaged, thereby promoting blood circulation and massage effect.

As shown in Fig. 7, part of the user's 108 body can be sucked to the air container 308 side by the suction force by the negative pressure. As the strength of the negative pressure periodically changes, a part of the body of the user 108 may move up and down about the first connector 310 to promote the massage effect. In the case of the scalp, since the skull is present inside, the massage effect can not be sufficiently exhibited unless a sufficient negative pressure is generated. Accordingly, in the case of scalp massage, the size of the negative pressure can be set to 30 to 80 kPa, and accordingly, the scalp can be sucked to the air container 308 side by about 0.1 to 1 cm.

Next, a massage device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12. FIG. In describing the second embodiment of the present invention, the configurations of the controller 104, the heat generating unit 316, and the air container 308 of the first embodiment described above may be substantially the same, And a detailed description thereof will be omitted. The difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment of the present invention lies in the bodies 102 and 402, and the main body 402 of the massage device according to the second embodiment will be mainly described below. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the protruding portion 406 is formed on the body facing portion 304, and the protruding portion 406 serves as the pressure difference forming portion 406. Here, the protruding portion 406 is formed in a part of the body facing portion 304 in an annular shape so as to enclose a part of the body to form a closed region. When negative pressure is supplied to the air container 308 by the negative pressure generating part 202, positive pressure is applied to a part of the body part of the body facing part 304 where the protruding part 406 is formed (pressing force) (Pulling force) is applied to a part of the body at the other end of the body 304.

The body 402 according to the second embodiment of the present invention differs from the first embodiment in that the body 402 of the body 402 has a body- And protruding portions 406 protruding inward in the portion 304. [ The protrusion 406 is formed in a structure that is spaced apart from the air container 308 to seal the negative pressure supplied via the air container 308 and massage the body.

The housing 502 may be an elastic body capable of stretching and expanding. The protrusion 406 may protrude inwardly from the inner surface of the housing 502. The protruding direction of the protruding portion 406 may be a direction perpendicular to the inner surface of the housing 502. In addition, the protruding direction of the protruding portion 406 may be a direction that protrudes in the horizontal direction, that is, in the left or right direction in FIG. Or may be a direction protruding upward in a direction slightly deviated from the horizontal direction to the upper side, that is, toward the air container 308 side. Further, the bottom of the protrusion 406, that is, the inner surface side of the housing 502 protrudes in the horizontal direction, and the crest part of the protrusion 406, that is, the inward side end of the housing 502 protrudes in a slightly upward direction It is possible. In this case, the protruding portion 406 may be formed in a curved shape slightly bent toward the air container 308 side. Here, " somewhat " may indicate a degree of deflection within a range of about 2 to 20 degrees. In this way, when a part or all of the protrusion 406 is deflected toward the upper side, that is, toward the air container 308, when the supply of the below-described negative pressure is intermittently performed, The effect of massaging can be further enhanced.

8 and 9, the protrusions 406 may be formed in an annular shape surrounding the air container 308 when viewed from below the main body 402. Here, although three protrusions 406 are formed in FIGS. 8 and 9, it is needless to say that two or four protrusions 406 may be provided.

When the negative pressure is supplied from the negative pressure generating portion 202 to the air container 308, the protruding portion 406 is closely attached to the head portion to seal the space between the protruding portion 406 and the head portion, . Thereby, the massage effect applied to the head portion between the air container 308 and the protruding portion 406 can be stably maintained. In addition, a plurality of air can be provided away from the air container 308. That is, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, three protrusions 406 may be provided so as to be enlarged and expanded as they are away from the air container 308. In this case, a negative pressure can be supplied between the protruding portions 406. At this time, in order to smoothly supply the negative pressure via the air container 308 to the spaces between the protruding portions 406, protruding portions 406 on both sides (the upper side and the lower side in Fig. 8) A communication hole 406h for communicating the space with each other can be formed.

On the other hand, when the negative pressure supply to the air container 308 is intermittently performed, the protruding portion 406 can massage the scalp repeatedly. 10, the projecting portion 406 is shaped like A when no negative pressure is applied to the air container 308. When a negative pressure is applied to the air container 308, The air bag 502 can be deformed into a shape like B while being contracted or moved upward (toward the air container 308). In the process of deforming the protrusion 406 from the A shape to the B shape, the protrusion 406 stimulates the scalp by pushing it upward. Thereby, the blood in the scalp is guided to the air container 308 side. If such negative pressure is repeatedly applied and released, as shown in Fig. 11, not only the blood can be collected toward the air container 308 side, that is, near the crown, but also the blood circulation can be promoted.

10 (b) and 10 (c), the protruding portions 406b and 406c are located slightly above the upper surface 406a and 406c so that the protrusion 406 can be easily deformed and the stimulation of the scalp can be more effectively performed. As shown in Fig. 10 (a) shows a protruding portion 406a protruding perpendicularly to the inner surface of the housing 502, and FIG. 10 (b) shows a protruding portion 406b protruding leftward with respect to the inner surface of the housing 502 10 (c) shows a protrusion 406c protruded slightly upward from the left side to the upper side with respect to the inner surface of the housing 502. As shown in Fig.

Further, the housing 502 may be formed of an elastic body so that it can contact with a part of the body depending on the degree of negative pressure supplied even in the portion where the protrusion 406 is not formed in the body-facing portion 304. In this case, It is needless to say that the massage effect can be doubled by pressing the skin of the body at the portion contacting the body and the protruding portion 406 and sucking the skin of the body at the portion not in contact with the body, as in the embodiment.

FIG. 12 is a view for explaining the blood circulation promotion effect using the air container 308 of the massage device 100 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The size and the degree of suction for sucking the scalp to the air con- tactor 308 side may be similar to those of the previous embodiment.

Next, a massage device according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 13 to 15. FIG. In describing the third embodiment of the present invention, the configurations of the controller 104, the heat generator 316, and the air container 308 of the first embodiment described above may be substantially the same, And a detailed description thereof will be omitted. The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment of the present invention is that a protrusion 606 is additionally formed in the main body 102. [ In the third embodiment of the present invention, the grooves 306 and the protrusions 606 become the pressure difference forming portions 306 and 606. The groove 306 and the protrusion 606 are formed in the body facing portion 304 and the groove 306 is communicated with the air container 308. When a negative pressure is supplied to the air container 308 by the negative pressure generating portion 202, negative pressure is applied (pulling force) to a part of the body at the portion of the body facing portion 304 where the groove 306 is formed, (Pushing force) to a part of the body at the portion of the body-facing portion 304 where the body-facing portion 304 is formed.

As shown in FIG. 13, grooves 306 as described in the first embodiment are provided on the inner surface of the housing 502. However, in the third embodiment, the protruding portion 606 is further formed on the body facing portion 304, and the protruding portion 606 is formed so as to be in close contact with the body. To this end, the body facing portion 304 is formed with a projection groove 608, and the projection 606 is placed in the projection groove 608. [

Specifically, as in the case of the first embodiment of the present invention, when the negative pressure is supplied through the groove 306, the portion excluding the projection groove 608 and the groove 306 in the body facing portion 304 and the projection portion 606 are brought into contact with the body, for example, the head. Here, the protrusion 606 can perform the massage function and the blood guiding function described in the second embodiment. In addition, the portion of the body facing portion 304 excluding the protruding grooves 608 allows the negative pressure to be supplied through the grooves 306, and at the same time, the head portion is pressurized with a narrow area as compared with the first embodiment, Tofu massage can be performed.

The protrusion 606 may protrude further toward the inside of the housing 502 than the portion 610 excluding the protrusion groove 608 in the body facing portion 304. As a result, the projection 606 can be deformed when the massage device according to the present invention is mounted on the body, for example, a head. This modification can be such that the inner end of the housing 502 of the protrusion 606 is bent upward in Fig. 13, whereby the massage device according to the third embodiment of the present invention is capable of guiding blood to the air container 308 The function can be performed more effectively. Further, as described in the second embodiment, it is needless to say that the protrusion 606 of the third embodiment may be formed to be somewhat biased toward the air container 308 side. Therefore, when the negative pressure is supplied and released through the air container 308, the projection 608 pushes the scalp toward the air container 308 side, thereby circulating blood, for example, blood (blood) And at the same time, the massage function can be performed. 15 is a sectional view taken along line S-S of Fig.

Next, a massage device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17. FIG. In describing the third embodiment of the present invention, the configurations of the controller 104, the heat generator 316, and the air container 308 of the first embodiment described above may be substantially the same, And a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The difference between the fourth and third embodiments of the present invention is the shape of the projection. That is, unlike the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment is formed into a shape having a circular cross section when the protruding portion 806 is cut perpendicularly to the projecting direction. A plurality of protrusions 806 may be formed on one body facing portion 304 and protrusion grooves 808 may be formed for each protrusion portion 806. However, it is needless to say that the protrusion groove 808 can be formed in one body facing portion 304 to accommodate one or more protrusions 806. As described above, by deforming the protrusion 806, the pressure applied to the body, for example, the head, can be dispersed through the protrusion 806, and the scalp can be massaged more smoothly.

18 shows an example in which the massage device 100 according to the present invention is applied to a breast of a woman rather than a scalp. When the massage device 100 is applied to the breast, the size of the body 102 can be appropriately adjusted to suit the size of the breast. In this case, the main body 102 covered with the breast supports the breast by the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure generating part 202 and promotes blood circulation through the negative pressure formed in the air container 308. This will give enough exercise effect to women's breasts, which can help preserve the elasticity of the breasts and prevent breast-related diseases.

19 and 20 illustrate a massage device 100 according to the present invention applied to a woman's breast and being massaged. In the case of a part of the body having no skeleton inside, such as a female breast, when an excessive negative pressure is generated in the negative pressure generating part 202, too much tissue is sucked into the air container 308 side, I feel. In addition, if too much tissue is sucked into the air container 308 side, the exercise effect on the breast can not be obtained. In order to prevent this, it is preferable that the size of the negative pressure applied to the breast is 15 to 50 kPa and the size of the tissue sucked into the air container 308 is 0.1 to 3 cm.

21 and 22 are experimental graphs for explaining the effects of the massage device 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, in order to verify the effect of the present invention, after 3 weeks old ICR mice (male, about 13 g) were shaved with anesthesia and anesthetized hairs, the massaging device 100 according to the present invention was applied to the shape of a mouse The back of the rats was massaged for about 2 minutes using a reduced massager. FIGS. 8 and 9 are graphs showing changes in the amount of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the dorsal tissues of rats and blood collected at 30 minutes after the massaging, ). Vascular endothelial growth factor, a cell active substance, is known to be a substance used to generate new blood vessels and to regenerate muscle and nerve tissue.

As can be seen in the graph, when massage is performed on the skin tissue for about 2 minutes using the massage device 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention, the level of vascular endothelial growth factor in the skin and blood It can be seen that it is significantly increased. That is, according to the embodiments of the present invention, blood circulation can be smoothly performed by increasing the blood flow through the tissues of the massage target site and the new blood vessels.

Particularly, when massaging the scalp using the massage device 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention, the clogged blood flow of the scalp portion is improved, heat is radiated, and the hair roots are strengthened, .

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, . Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the above-described embodiments, but should be determined by equivalents to the appended claims, as well as the appended claims.
