Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a pneumatic massage device having a low-frequency stimulation function,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air pressure massage device having a low frequency stimulation function for stimulating skin and muscles to promote the flow of body fluid including blood, lymph fluid, tissue fluid and the like.

In general, massage therapy is a therapy that applies physical stimulation to the skin and muscles through massages, including compression and kneading.

In other words, massage treatment stimulates skin and muscles to stimulate the flow of body fluids including blood, lymph, and tissue fluid to stimulate local metabolism and remove fatigue substances.

These massage treatments are widely used for anti-aging, retarded infants, intracranial vascular injury, neurological disorders, varicose veins, ataxia, restoring fatigue and preparation for sports or labor.

On the other hand, massage therapy can be most effective in massaging the body using a handkerchief. However, since it takes a lot of time to allocate a massage from a massage therapist and it takes a lot of money, it is not convenient for the busy daily life and economically Is not easy to use.

For this purpose, various types of massaging devices for massaging the body using air pressure have been developed and circulated on the market. Most of the conventional massaging devices are limited to the function of massaging specific parts of the body using air pressure, .

In other words, in the case of low frequency therapy using electric low-frequency therapy, it stimulates muscles to low frequency to smoothly induce contraction and relaxation of muscles. In case of massage therapy using air pressure, The effect can be enhanced.

Therefore, in order to perform the massage treatment and the low frequency treatment simultaneously, a massage device having a low frequency stimulation device for low frequency treatment has been developed in addition to the massage device.

However, since the massage device equipped with the low-frequency stimulation device applies a low frequency to the body by flowing a low frequency according to the supply of power, when the wearer wears the body or separates from the body, the low- The user was instantly frightened and frustrated.

Further, in the case of a structure in which a battery is incorporated in a massage device provided with a low-frequency stimulation device, there is a case where the battery is wasted while the battery is powered by the low-frequency stimulation device when worn on the body or separated from the body .

Most of the massage devices using the air pressure due to the above-described closed-loop have the limitation that they can not escape the simplification of the functions while being configured to have only the massage function and the low frequency function is deleted.

Therefore, in order to overcome the functional limitation of the massage device using the air pressure, it is necessary to develop a massage device having a structure that can prevent the low frequency from being applied to the body part when worn or separated.
