The rotation module for rotating the arm massage unit 1200 in the up and down directions is an arm rotation actuator that has one end connected to the main frame 1130 of the body massage unit 1100 and has an elastic rod 1251 that expands or contracts in one direction. It includes (1250) and a motion conversion member (1260) connected to the other end of the arm rotation actuator (1250) to convert the linear motion of the telescopic rod (1251) into a rotational motion of the arm massage unit (1200).

The arm rotation actuator 1250 is implemented as at least one of pneumatic, electric, hydraulic, and electro-hydraulic actuators and can cause the telescopic rod 1251 to expand and contract. As an example, the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be extended or contracted while the telescopic rod 1251 performs a linear reciprocating motion by the rotational force of a motor operated by power applied by the control unit 1400 (see FIG. 3). As another example, the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be extended or contracted while the telescopic rod 1251 performs a linear reciprocating motion by pneumatic and/or hydraulic pressure applied by the control unit 1400.

One end of the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be connected to one side of the main frame 1130, and the other end may be connected to the motion conversion member 1260. For example, the arm rotation actuator 1250 connects the end of the elastic rod 1251 to the motion conversion member 1260, and as the elastic rod 1251 moves in a straight line, the arm massage unit 1200 through the motion conversion member 1260. ) Rotational force can be transmitted to.

The motion conversion member 1260, which converts the linear motion of the telescopic rod 1251 into the vertical rotational movement of the arm massage unit 1200, rotates around the rotation axis 1230 coupled to the main frame 1130, thereby forming the arm massage unit. It may be configured to transmit rotational force to (1200).

For example, the motion conversion member 1260 is a crank head 1261 whose center is rotatably connected around a rotation axis 1230 coupled to the main frame 1130 and one side of which is coupled to the arm massage unit 1200. and a crank blade 1262 formed on the crank head 1261 to extend in the radial direction of the crank head 1261 and having a long hole-shaped guide hole 1264, and an elastic rod of the arm rotation actuator 1250. It may include a crank connection member 1263 that connects 1251 to the guide hole 1264 and moves along the guide hole 1264.

The crank head 1261 may have a substantially cylindrical shape, and an axial hole 1261a through which the rotation shaft 1230 is inserted and connected to the center may be formed to penetrate in both directions. One end of the rotation shaft 1230 is coupled to one side of the upper frame 1131, and the crank head 1261 can rotate about the rotation shaft 1230. One surface of the crank head 1261 may be coupled to the arm massage unit 1200. For example, one surface of the crank head 1261 may be firmly coupled to the cylindrical rotation coupling portion 1214 protruding inward from the rear portion of the arm massage portion 1200 by a fastening means such as a bolt or screw. .

When one side of the crank head 1261 is coupled to the rotation coupling part 1214 of the arm massage part 1200, the crank head 1261 and the arm massage part 1200 are coupled at a predetermined exact position. ) and one side of the arm massage unit 1200 may be provided with an incorrect assembly prevention unit that guides the coupling position between the crank head 1261 and the arm massage unit 1200. For example, the incorrect assembly prevention unit includes a plurality of assembly grooves (not shown) concavely formed on one surface of the rotation coupling unit 1214 of the arm massage unit 1200, and a crank head 1261 protruding from one surface of the rotation coupling unit. It may include a plurality of assembly protrusions 1265 that are individually inserted into each assembly groove formed in 1214.

The crank blade 1262 may be formed integrally with one side of the crank head 1261. The crank blade 1262 has a plate shape extending radially on one side of the crank head 1261 and may be formed singly on the crank head 1261.

As described above, the crank blade 1262 may be formed as a single piece, but is not limited to this. For example, the crank blades 1262 may be composed of a plurality of crank blades 1262 and may extend radially on both sides of the crank head 1261. A plurality of crank blades 1262 (hereinafter, assumed to be two) may be formed side by side and spaced a certain distance apart from each other. At this time, the end of the expansion rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 is inserted into the space between the two crank blades 1262 and is connected to the crank blade 1262 through the crank connection member 1263 to enable relative movement. You can.

A guide hole 1264 for connection to the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be formed in the crank blade 1262 in the form of a long hole extending in the radial direction of the crank head 1261.

The crank connection member 1263 may be made of a bushing inserted into the guide hole 1264 of the crank blade 1262. The center of the bushing may be connected to the end of the telescopic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 by a fastener. The fastener can be constructed by applying various fastening means such as at least one of bolts, screws, and pins.

As shown in FIG. 10, the motion conversion member 1260 composed of this configuration moves the elastic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 as the elastic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 contracts and/or expands. ) may apply a pulling or pushing force to the crank blade (1262) while sliding along the guide hole (1264) of the crank blade (1262). Accordingly, the crank head 1261 may rotate around the rotation axis 1230, and the arm massage unit 1200 may rotate around the rotation axis 1230.

According to the rotation module having the above-described configuration, the linear motion of the elastic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250 is converted into rotational movement through the motion conversion member 1260 in a fixed state. Since it is transmitted to the arm massage unit 1200, the rotational operation of the arm massage unit 1200 is performed very smoothly, and little noise and vibration may be generated during the rotational operation. In other words, the rotation of the arm massage unit 1200 by the arm rotation actuator 1240 and the rotation module is performed using the telescopic rod of the arm rotation actuator 1250 more than when the arm massage unit 1200 is rotated using only the arm rotation actuator 1250. Since the arm rotation actuator 1250 does not swing laterally during the process of extension and/or contraction of the arm rotation actuator 1251, little vibration and noise are generated, the installation space of the arm rotation actuator 1250 can be reduced, and the arm rotation actuator 1250 There is an advantage in that interference between (1250) and other components can be excluded.

One end of the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be connected to the main frame 1130. For example, the lower end of the arm rotation actuator 1250 may be connected to the actuator bracket 1280 fixed to the main frame 1130 by a fastening means such as a connecting pin 1282 to enable relative rotation. At this time, the connection pin 1282 and the rotation shaft 1230 may be installed in directions spaced apart from each other at a certain angle. For example, the connection pin 1282 and the rotation axis 1230 may be installed in orthogonal directions. Specifically, the connection pin 1282 is installed in the front-back direction (Y-axis direction) of the massage device 1000, and the rotation axis 1230 is installed in the left-right direction (X-axis direction) of the massage device 1000 to form an arm massage unit. When (1200) rotates up and down about the rotation axis (1230), the connection pin (1282) installed on the lower part of the arm rotation actuator (1250) may resist the main frame (1130) without rotating.

When the arm massage unit 1200 is rotated by extending and/or contracting the elastic rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250, a moment may be generated in the rotation direction of the motion conversion member 1260. This moment applies force to the connection pin 1282, which is the connection between the arm rotation actuator 1250 and the main frame 1130, causing noise and vibration due to breakage, damage, or wear of the connection pin 1282. It can happen.

As described above, in order to attenuate noise and vibration caused by the moment generated when the arm massage unit 1200 rotates by expanding or contracting the stretching rod 1251 of the arm rotation actuator 1250, the massage device 1000 It may include a damper member 1270.
