Description

Massage device {MASSAGE DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a massage device, and more particularly to a massage device that massages the spinal column of the human body.

The spinal column of a person consists of a cervix, a chest, a lumbar region, and a tailbone. These spinal column supports the human body, and serves to maintain the upright. On the other hand, the spinal column is always under pressure because it always supports the weight acting in the direction of gravity. Therefore, the spinal column is easy to feel fatigue among various parts of the human body and suffers from disorders such as disc disease and dislocation by physical shock or compression. Easy to produce

In particular, when office workers, production workers, or students who work at desks sit on chairs in unstable posture for a long time, they often have a back pain and cause diseases such as low back pain. Various stresses and extreme tension can cause nerves and various muscles in the lumbar and cervical stiffness to cause diseases such as neurosis. Therefore, there is a need to continuously release the rigid lumbar, thoracic and cervical muscles.

On the other hand, in order to release the rigid spinal column, an ointment-like drug is usually applied to the skin or a patch formed with a drug layer is applied to the skin. It is known to be the most effective way to solve the problem. This is because there is no side effect or dependency caused by the drug because it uses a physical method to release the rigid muscle quickly.

Accordingly, recently, a massage device for massaging the spinal column has been developed and widely used, which is described below with reference to FIG. 1. 1 is a view schematically showing a conventional massage device. According to this, the conventional massage device has a bed 1, and the bed 1 is provided with a slider 3 which moves left and right along the bed 1. In addition, the slider 3 is connected to the slider 3 so that the slider 3 can move up and down by the rod 4, and a triangular rotating body 5 capable of rotating is installed, and each vertex of the triangular rotating body 5 is pressurized. The roller 6 is installed so that rotation is possible. Meanwhile, the bed 1 includes a first driving motor 7 for moving the slider 3 left and right, a second driving motor 8 for moving the triangular rotating body 5 up and down, and rotating the same. The third drive motor 9 is installed separately.

When the user operates the massage device while the user is lying on the bed 1 by such a configuration, each of the driving motors 7, 8, 9 is operated simultaneously to massage the spinal column of the human body. That is, when the first driving motor 7 is operated, the slider 3 is moved along the neck, chest and lumbar of the human body. At the same time, the third driving motor 9 is operated to rotate the triangular rotating body 5, and the pressure roller 6 installed in the triangular rotating body 5 to press the spinal column of the human body. At this time, the pressure roller 6 is to press the spinal column while rolling along the spinal column of the human body. On the other hand, the second driving motor (8) serves to close the pressure roller (6) to the vertebral column of the human body by lifting up and down the triangular rotary body (5).

However, such a conventional massage device does not evenly massage the spinal column of the human body, its size is large and heavy, there was a disadvantage that the manufacturing cost is expensive. That is, in the conventional massage device, while the triangular rotating body 5 rotates, the pressure roller 6 installed at the vertex presses the spinal column intermittently. Thus, it is pointed out that the spine of the human body cannot be continuously pressurized.

And the position of the lumbar and chest, neck of the human body is different for each person, the conventional massage device has a problem that can not evenly press the spinal column because the triangular rotating body (5) is rotated only at a certain position. On the other hand, by using the second driving motor (8) to raise and lower the triangular rotary body (5) evenly to press the spine evenly, which is in advance the operating position of the second driving motor (8) for each user's body size Since it has to be calculated and input to the control unit, its operation is very difficult and it is inconvenient to use. In addition, the upper and lower lifting width of the triangular rotating body 5 had a problem that can not properly massage the spine, particularly lumbar and neck.

In addition, the conventional massage device, as shown in Figure 1, the first drive motor 7 for moving the slider 3, the second drive motor 8 for moving the triangular rotating body 5 up and down, Since the third driving motor 9 for rotating it is installed separately, not only the manufacturing cost is increased, but also the weight of the device itself is increased and the thickness thereof becomes thick, which causes the problem of being difficult to transport.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a massage device capable of massaging the spinal column of the human body, regardless of the body size, particularly the lumbar and chest and neck.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a massage device having a low manufacturing cost, light weight and thin thickness, which is convenient to carry.

2 is a plan view showing the configuration of the massage device according to the present invention, Figure 3 is an enlarged plan view of the main portion of the present invention, Figure 4 is a side view of FIG. 5 is a state diagram of use of the present invention. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the massage device of the present invention includes a bed 10, a moving plate 20 moving along the bed 10, and a driving motor 30 installed on the moving plate 20. And, it can be seen that it consists of a pressure roller 40 to be rotated by the drive motor (30).

Looking at this in detail as follows. The massage device of the present invention is provided with a bed (10). The bed 10 is configured to support the spinal column of the human body, in particular, the neck and chest and lumbar, the installation space 12 is formed therein, the upper surface of the operation hole 13 in communication with the installation space 12 Is formed. This working hole 13 is configured to be located vertically below the neck, chest and lumbar portion of the user. And carrying handles 14 are formed on both left and right sides of the bed 10.

In addition, a pair of first guide rails 15 are installed side by side in the installation space 12 of the bed 10 along the longitudinal direction, and the first guide rails 15 are provided with a pair of second ones inward. Guide rails 16 are installed side by side.

The pair of first guide rails 15 guide the pressure rollers 40, which will be described later, to move along the spine of the human body. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the fixed guide rails 15a and the moving guide rails ( 15b), the movable guide rail 15b is configured to be movable while the fixed guide rail 15a and one end thereof overlap each other. Here, the shape formed while the fixed guide rail 15a and the moving guide rail 15b overlap is a curved shape of the spinal column.

On the other hand, the first guide rail 15 is configured so that its shape can be changed according to the shape of the spinal column of the user. That is, the positions of the main part, the chest part, and the neck part of the human body are different from person to person. Accordingly, the shape of the first guide rail 15 can be appropriately changed according to the user's physical condition. Pressure roller 40 to move along to allow the user to evenly compress the lumbar and chest, neck.

By such a request, the movable guide rails 15b are installed to be movable left and right with respect to the fixed guide rail 15a. At this time, the fixed guide rail (15a) and the moving guide rail (15b) is configured to overlap each other in the vertical lower part of the chest of the human body. This is because the human body as shown in Figure 4 is the length of the neck and lumbar is almost the same, because the physical condition is determined by the difference in the length of the chest is because only adjusting the length of the chest is adapted to most physical conditions .

On the other hand, as shown in Figure 4, the end of the moving guide rail (15b) is hinged to the rack gears 17, the rack gears 17 by the pinion gears (18) the installation space of the bed (10) In 12) it is installed to allow left and right movement. And the pair of pinion gears 18 forming the same axis is configured to interlock with each other by the rotation shaft 18a, the rotation shaft 18a is projected to the outside of the bed 10 as shown in Figure 2 is adjusted to the end The handle 19 is installed.

Therefore, when the adjustment knob 19 is rotated from the outside by such a configuration, the pinion gear 18 is rotated, and at the same time the rack gear 17 is moved left and right while moving the moving guide rail 15b to fix the guide. The rail 15a and the moving guide rail 15b adjust the degree of overlap. As a result, while the fixed guide rail 15a and the moving guide rail 15b overlap or are spaced apart from each other, their overall shape is changed to fit the first guide rail 15 to the shape of the spinal column of the user.

Meanwhile, a moving plate 20 moving along the first guide rail 15 and the second guide rail 16 is installed in the installation space 12 of the bed 10, and the moving plate 20 includes the moving plate 20. A drive motor 30 for moving the moving plate 20 and a pressure roller 40 rotated by the drive motor 30 to press the spinal column are respectively installed.

3 and 4, the driving motor 30 is installed on the upper surface of the moving plate 20. The drive motor 30 is capable of forward and reverse rotation, and includes a first output shaft 31 and a second output shaft 32 that extend in both directions along the bed 10. Here, the drive motor 30 includes a speed reducer 30a for appropriately adjusting the rotational speeds of the first output shaft 31 and the second output shaft 32, and is operated by receiving external power.

In addition, a driving shaft 33 and an eccentric shaft 34 intersecting with the first output shaft 31 and the second output shaft 32 of the driving motor 30 are installed on the upper surface of the moving plate 20. The drive shaft 33 and the eccentric shaft 34 are rotatably installed by the bearing 22 provided on the upper surface of the moving plate 20, at this time, the driving shaft 33, the eccentric shaft 34 and the bearing 22. The bearing (not shown) is interposed between the driving shaft 33 and the eccentric shaft 34 to facilitate rotation.

A driving roller 35 and an idle roller 36 are rotatably installed at both ends of the driving shaft 33 and the eccentric shaft 34, respectively, and the driving roller 35 and the idle roller 36 are the bed 10. The moving plate 20 moves left and right by rolling along the first guide rail 15 and the second guide rail 16.

On the other hand, at the intersection of the first output shaft 31 and the drive shaft 33 and the second output shaft 32 and the eccentric shaft 34 of the drive motor 30, the driving force of the drive motor 30 is eccentric with the drive shaft 33. Worm gears 31a and 32a and worm wheels 33a and 34a for transmitting to the shaft 34 are installed. That is, a worm gear 31a is installed at the first output shaft 31 of the drive motor 30, and a worm wheel 33a engaged with the worm gear 31a is installed at the center of the drive shaft 33. A worm gear 32a is installed at the second output shaft 32 of the drive motor 30, and a worm wheel 34a meshed with the worm gear 32a is installed at the center of the eccentric shaft 34. Therefore, the rotational force of the drive motor 30 can be transmitted to the drive shaft 33 and the eccentric shaft 34 through the worm gears 31a, 32a and the worm wheels 33a, 34a.

On the other hand, the drive shaft 33 serves to pull the moving plate 20 by applying a driving force to the drive roller 35, the eccentric shaft 34 is to rotate the pressure roller 40 to be described later. At this time, the eccentric shaft 34 is moved left and right while swinging up and down along the shape of the first guide rail 15 with the drive shaft 33 as a point. In addition, the idle roller 36 installed at both ends of the eccentric shaft 34 is free to rotate regardless of the power of the drive motor 30 so that the moving plate 20 is naturally movable along the first guide rail 15.

On the other hand, a pair of eccentric rings 34b are provided around the eccentric shaft 34. The eccentric wheel 34b is installed on both sides with the worm wheel 34a in the center, and is eccentrically installed on the eccentric shaft 34 so as to eccentrically move in the installation space 12 of the bed 10.

In addition, the pressure roller 40 is rotatably installed around the eccentric wheels 34b. The pressure roller 40 is to press the neck and chest and the main body of the human body located in the upper portion of the installation space 12, is installed to protrude from the upper surface of the bed 10, rotatable about the eccentric ring 34b It is provided via the bearing 42 so that.

And the pressure roller 40 is configured to reduce the diameter toward either side. This is because the pair of pressure rollers 40 cooperate with each other to form a concave shape, thereby evenly pressing both sides of the cervical circumference, the chest, and the recessed portion. The pressure roller 40 is preferably composed of a relatively soft material, for example, polyurethane foam so as to press the human spine smooth and natural.

Therefore, since the pressure roller 40 is capable of eccentric movement and rotation along the eccentric wheels 34b, the pressure roller 40 can continuously and naturally pressurize while rolling along the neck, chest, and lumbar region of the human body. In addition, the moving plate 20 is gradually moved along the vertebral column by the traction of the driving roller 35, the eccentric shaft 34 swings up and down in the shape of the spine along the first guide rail 15, so the vertebral column The neck and chest and lumbar can be evenly pressed.

On the other hand, the moving plate 20 is configured to continuously reciprocate along the spinal column of the human body. That is, the pressure roller 40 installed on the moving plate 20 is configured to massage from the neck of the human body to the chest and the lumbar region, and then move in reverse to repeatedly massage the chest and the neck from the lumbar region. This is possible by rotating the driving motor 30 forward and reverse. Accordingly, the bed 10 is provided with a switching switch 25 for switching the direction of electricity flowing in the driving motor 30. As shown in FIG. 2, the changeover switch 25 is installed at both ends of the moving stroke of the moving plate 20 to be in contact with both ends of the moving plate 20 to turn on / off the driving motor 30. It is to rotate in reverse.

By such a configuration, the moving plate 20 repeatedly turns on / off the changeover switch 25 installed at both ends of the moving stroke, thereby forward and reverse rotation of the driving motor 30 to reciprocate between the neck and the main body of the human body. You can do it. At the same time, as the driving motor 30 is rotated forward and reverse, the pressure roller 40 also repeats forward and reverse rotation, thereby reciprocating along the spinal column and continuously pressing the neck, chest, and recesses.

On the other hand, in the present invention, a pair of pressure rollers 40 are formed on the eccentric shaft 34, but is not limited thereto, for example, a plurality of pressure rollers 40 on the eccentric shaft 34. By installing it, you can massage both legs of the human body.

Next, the operation of the present invention having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 5. First, the user may have the neck and chest and the lumbar part of the human body placed on the upper portion of the installation space 12. Lie down. Then, the shape of the first guide rail 15 is modified to fit the shape of the spinal column of the user using the adjusting knob 19. Then, when the driving motor 30 is operated by using the control unit, the driving force of the driving motor 30 passes through the first output shaft 31 and the second output shaft 32 and the worm gears 31a, 32a and the worm wheel ( It is transmitted to the drive shaft 33 and the eccentric shaft 34 through 33a) and 34a, respectively.

At this time, the drive shaft 33 rotates the drive roller 35 to move the pressure roller 40 along the spinal column while pulling the moving plate 20 along the second guide rail 16. The eccentric shaft 34 rotates the eccentric wheel 34b so as to eccentrically move, and at the same time, the pressure roller 40 installed around the eccentric wheel 34b also eccentrically pressurizes the spinal column of the human body. Here, since the bearing 42 is installed between the pressing roller 40 and the eccentric ring 34b, the pressing roller 40 is capable of rotating while being eccentric and simultaneously rotating the cloud along the spinal column of the human body. To pressurize.

On the other hand, the moving plate 20 starting from the neck of the human body and passing through the chest to the main part contacts the changeover switch 25 located at the end of the moving stroke to turn on the changeover switch 25, thereby switching The switch 25 reversely rotates the driving motor 30 while changing the flow of electricity supplied to the driving motor 30. In this state, the drive motor 30 is rotated in reverse as far as it is to reverse the drive shaft 33 and the eccentric shaft 34. Therefore, the moving plate 20 is reversed by the driving roller 35 which is reversely rotated, and at the same time, the pressing roller 40 of the eccentric shaft 34 is also reversed to press the spinal column continuously and to press the spinal column continuously. .

Then, the moving plate 20 which is traced back to the neck of the human body turns the driving motor 30 back on again by turning on the changeover switch 25 installed at the end of the moving stroke, and the driving shaft 33 as described above. And reverse rotation of the eccentric shaft 34 again to move the moving plate 20 and to rotate the pressure roller 40 in reverse. As a result, when such a condition occurs repeatedly, the moving plate 20 is continuously reciprocated, and the pressure roller 40 is also capable of continuously pressing while moving along the spinal column while repeating rotation and reverse rotation.

Therefore, by the operation of the pressure roller 40 and the moving plate 20, the neck, chest, and lumbar portions of the human body, which are rigid due to excessive pressure and various stresses or extreme tensions, are naturally released.

In addition, the present invention is unlikely to operate the moving plate 20 with only one drive motor 30 as well as the pressure roller 40 can be operated at the same time, so the production cost is low.

The above embodiments have described preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of application of the present invention is not limited to the above, but can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the same idea. For example, the shape and structure of each component specifically shown in the embodiment of the present invention can be modified.

As described above, the massage device according to the present invention includes a moving plate reciprocating along the spinal column, a roller which eccentrically moves up and down with respect to an axis to naturally press the neck of the human body, and provides rotational force to the roller and the moving plate. By releasing the rigid body of the rigid body provided with a drive motor integrally, it can be expected to recover from fatigue of the user. In particular, since the massage is made to the user by providing acupressure effect by continuous pressing instead of the hitting method, anyone who is elderly, including children, the elderly or pregnant women can use.

In addition, since only one drive motor can operate the moving plate as well as the pressure roller at the same time, the production cost is low. In addition, due to the reduced number of parts, the weight is not only light, but also has the advantage that the device itself is very thin and convenient to transport.
