Description

Massage device or system based on ultra-long waves and thermal devices {MASSAGE DEVICE OR SYSTEM BASED ON MICROWAVE AND THERMAL DEVICES}

The present invention relates to a massage system. More specifically, it relates to a massage system using ultra-long waves and a heating pad.

Ultra-long waves are the lowest wavelengths among radio frequencies, ranging from 3 to 30 KHz. They are natural magnetic waves that occur when the invisible N and S poles change at ultra-high speed at 50 to 60 times per second. These ultra-long waves are the longest magnetic fields on earth, and when radiated to the human body, they penetrate into internal organs, blood vessels, and nerves in the bone marrow, vibrate human cells, promote endocrine function, and improve blood circulation by cleaning impurities such as cholesterol in the blood. When used, it is effective in relieving pain.

If these ultra-long waves are used together with thermal therapy, the effect of massage can be maximized, but if both devices are used simultaneously, there is a risk of safety issues that are harmful to the human body, such as overheating and electromagnetic waves. Therefore, in order to provide a massage device with guaranteed safety, the present invention seeks to disclose a massage system using ultra-long waves and a heating pad.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the heating pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention being placed on a bed. Figure 2 is a side view showing the heating pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention being placed on a bed.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the massage system according to an embodiment of the present invention consists of a bed (or mattress) and a heating pad 100, and the heating pad 100 is a bed or mattress on which the user can lie. It is provided for use by being placed in space.

Figure 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the heating pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 4 shows the support portion 130 of the heating pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention being shortened. This is an enlarged cross-sectional view.

Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the heating pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a heating part 110; An acupressure hole 120 in which a through hole 122 is formed; Rotation axis 121; and a support portion 130.

The heating unit 110 is disposed inside the heating pad 100 and emits heat. To this end, the heating unit 110 is provided to be electrically connected to a power source external to the heating pad 100, and the power may be cut off when the light receiving unit 150, which will be described later, detects light.

The acupressure device 120 is located on the upper part of the heating unit 110 and is heated by the heating unit 110 to provide thermal massage treatment. For this purpose, a portion of the acupressure device 120 is arranged to protrude from the upper surface of the heating pad 100. . At this time, a rotation axis 121 for rotating the acupressure tool 120 may be further provided. The rotation shaft 121 is installed in a direction parallel to the upper surface of the heating pad 100 and rotates the acupressure device 120 heated by the heating unit 110 in one direction, thereby generating heat inside the heating pad 100. The configuration is such that a portion of the acupressure tool 120 heated by the unit 110 is rotated in one direction by the rotation axis 121 and exposed to the outside of the heating pad 100.

In a preferred embodiment, the acupressure tool 120 may be further formed with a through hole 122 penetrating the acupressure tool 120 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis 121. This is a configuration for inserting the support portion 130 that fixes the acupressure device 120. The support portion 130 is provided to protrude from the heating portion 110 by a predetermined first length L1, and a portion of the protruding upper end is inserted into the through hole 122 of the acupressure device 120, thereby forming the acupressure device 120. This is a configuration that fixes it so that it does not rotate. By providing the support part 130 in this way, it is possible to prevent the acupressure tool 120 from rotating while the acupressure tool 120 is heated to a predetermined temperature by the heating unit 110.

In a preferred embodiment, the support portion 130 is shortened to a predetermined second length (L2) at a preset reference temperature or higher, and is restored to a predetermined first length (L1) at room temperature. It may be made of a shape memory alloy. . Specifically, the support portion 130 has a predetermined first length (L1) at room temperature as shown in FIG. 3, and has a predetermined second length (L2) above a preset reference temperature as shown in FIG. 4. It is provided to be shortened and deformed. At this time, it would be desirable for the preset reference temperature to be set to have a temperature range of 30°C to 40°C.

In a more preferred embodiment, the support part 130 may be implemented to further include a wavelength generating part 131. The wave generator 131 is provided at the top of the support unit 130 and generates low-frequency and ultra-long waves. In this way, when the support part 130 is provided with the wavelength generating part 131, the acupressure tool 120 is formed to have a space inside, and is made of a material containing at least 0.5% by weight or more of diamond, jade, and platinum. It can be. This is to perform the role of a wavelength converter that converts the low-frequency and ultra-long waves generated by the wavelength generator 131 into wavelengths beneficial to the human body by passing through the acupressure device 120 from the inside to the outside of the acupressure device 120.

Meanwhile, the heating pad 100 may be implemented to further include an irradiating unit 140 and a light receiving unit 150. The irradiation unit 140 is configured to emit light in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the support unit 130, and the light receiving unit 150 is configured to detect light emitted from the irradiation unit 140. When the irradiation unit 140 and the light receiving unit 150 are provided in this way, when the light receiving unit 150 detects light, the rotation axis 121 of the heating pad 100 rotates 180 degrees in one direction, and the heating pad 100 rotates 180 degrees in one direction. It may be provided to cut off the power.

Hereinafter, the operating sequence of the heating pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be examined in more detail with reference to FIG. 5.

Figure 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the operating sequence of the heating pad 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 5, it operates sequentially from the state shown in the upper left corner of FIG. 5 to the state shown in the lower left corner of FIG. 5 and then returns to the state shown in the upper left corner of FIG. 5.

Looking at the upper left side of FIG. 5, the support portion 130 is inserted into the through hole 122 of the acupressure device 120 while maintaining the first length L1, and the acupressure device located inside the heating pad 100 ( A portion of 120) is heated by the heating unit 110. As the acupressure device 120 is heated in this way, the temperature of the support portion 130 also increases. Meanwhile, since the support part 130 is inserted into the through hole 122, the light emitted by the irradiation part 140 is blocked by the support part 130 and does not reach the light receiving part 150.

When the temperature of the support part 130 rises and reaches the preset reference temperature, the support part 130 made of shape memory alloy is shortened to the second length L2, as shown in the upper right corner of FIG. 5, to provide acupressure. It breaks away from the through hole 122 of the sphere 120. At this time, the light receiving unit 150 detects the light emitted by the irradiating unit 140. When the light receiving unit 150 detects light in this way, the rotation axis 121 rotates 180 degrees in one direction and the power to the heating unit 110 is cut off.

As shown in the lower right corner of FIG. 5, as the rotation shaft 121 rotates, the acupressure device 120 heated by the heating unit 110 is exposed to the outside of the heating pad 100, and the light receiving unit 150 continues to be exposed. Since light is detected, the power to the heating unit 110 is maintained in a cut-off state. At this time, it is preferable that the 180-degree rotation of the rotation axis 121 as the light receiver 150 detects light is set as a one-time command so that the rotation axis 121 does not continue to rotate, but as necessary, while the light is detected. The rotation axis 121 may be rotated repeatedly at predetermined time intervals.

When the power to the heating unit 110 is cut off and the temperature inside the heating pad 100 decreases and reaches room temperature, the length of the support unit 130 is reduced to the first length L1, as shown in the lower left corner of FIG. 5. It is restored and inserted into the through hole 122 of the acupressure tool 120. Afterwards, since the light receiving unit 150 is again in a state where it cannot detect light, power is applied to the heating unit 110, and as the heating unit 110 resumes heating, the state shown in the upper left corner of FIG. 5 is reached. .
