The sound source-compatible massage device of the present invention is applicable to health aids such as bed mats, pillows, cushions, etc. having a surface where a part of the user's body is in contact with the waist, neck, legs, and the like.

Preferably, the health care device has a body of a predetermined shape, the sound source corresponding massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed on the contact surface of the body.

1 is a view showing a cushion installed in the sound source corresponding massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a sectional view II-II of FIG.

1 and 2, the vibration member 100 is installed on the cushion body 1, vibrating a part of the user's body in close contact with the body 1 in accordance with the power supply. To this end, the vibration member 100 of the present invention is provided with a solenoid 10 for changing the mechanical motion of the electrical signal, and a seating groove 2 on which the solenoid 10 is mounted. The solenoid 10 is mounted to the seating groove 2 by the bracket 20, and the bobbin 14 wound around the coil 12 is fixed to the bracket 20.

The solenoid 10 assembled as described above is wrapped by the functional pad 3 containing germanium and the like, and is firmly installed on the cushion body 1.

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the sound source corresponding massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to this, the sound source corresponding massage device of the present invention receives a sound signal input unit 200 and a voice signal from the sound source input unit 200 to receive a voice signal to filter the signal required for driving each vibration member 100 The sound source processing unit 300 and the control unit 500 for transmitting the signal filtered by the sound source processing unit 300 to the plurality of vibration member 100 is provided.

The sound source input unit 200 is for receiving a sound source from the outside, and the outside refers to an acoustic home appliance such as audio, video, or DVD. Since the home appliances are essentially provided with an A / V input / output terminal or a digital optical output terminal, a sound source input is possible by connecting the terminal and the sound source input unit 200 to a jack (not shown).

The sound source processing unit 300 receives a voice signal from the sound source input unit 200 and filters the signal into a signal necessary for driving each of the vibration members 100. Preferably, the filtering is separated according to the frequency band of the sound source. When six vibration members 100 are installed as shown in FIG. 1, the sound sources are sequentially separated from the low frequency band. For example, since the human audible frequency band is about 20 to 2000 Hz, the frequency band may be divided into six and transmitted to the controller 500.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the sound source is separated into frequency bands, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in the case of using a known AC-3 (Dolby Digital) or DTS (Digital Theater System) format sound source used in the recently popular 5.1-channel speaker, it is transmitted to the control unit 500 without being separated and vibrated. It is also possible to operate the member 100. The reason is that the sound sources of the format are previously separated for each channel in the recording process, so that the sound source can be easily separated by installing a decoder for analyzing the same in the control unit 500.

The controller 500 drives each vibration member after matching the signal filtered by the sound source processing unit 300 to each vibration member 100, and includes a memory in which information about the vibration member 100 is input ( 550). The memory 550 stores not only information about each vibrating member 100 but also a mixing function that can give various effects to the filtered signal. The mixing function is a function of detecting the height, short and long, tempo, etc. of the sound source and converting it into an operation module (for example, vibration, rolling, and pounding) of the vibration member 100, and the generated vibration signal is the vibration member 100. Is sent to. Accordingly, the controller 500 searches for the information and mixing information of the vibration member 100 stored in the memory 550 based on the filtered signal, and distributes the vibration signal to each matching vibration member 100. Done.

In addition, the memory 550 may store a filtered sound source input from the outside. For example, if you store music of your favorite genres in memory, users do not always have to prepare external audio devices, and there is no need to filter the sound source again. Accordingly, the controller 500 searches for a signal stored in the memory 550 and drives the corresponding vibration members 100 according to the search result. To this end, the memory 550 is preferably a flash memory that is free to record and reproduce data.

Preferably, the control unit 500 selectively sends a signal filtered by the sound source processing unit 300 to each of the vibration members 100 to drive the vibration members, more preferably, the vibration member 100 is connected to the control unit 500. Each is connected in series. In the conventional massage apparatus, since the control unit and the plurality of vibration members are connected in parallel, each vibration member performs only the same operation or repeated operation according to the input signal. That is, since each vibrating member 100 does not operate individually, only the vibration of the mono or stereo mode is performed, not a three-dimensional pattern as a surround mode of the sound apparatus as a whole. However, according to the present invention, since the vibration member 100 is connected to the control unit 500 in series, it is possible to generate more various patterns. For example, the vibration members 100 and 110 of FIG. 1 may vibrate according to vibration signals, the vibration members 120 and 130 may roll, and the vibration members 140 and 150 may perform pounding, respectively. In addition, the vibrating member 100 may be rolled and the vibrating member 110 may be re-exchanged alternately after pounding. Since the various pattern operations vary from time to time according to the input sound source, the sound source corresponding massage device of the present invention has an effect that can cause various interests in addition to improving the health of the user.

The sound source-compatible massage device of the present invention can not only receive a sound source from the outside as described above, but also operate by a sampling sound source stored in advance. The sampling sound source is a sound source for which filtering operations performed by the sound source input unit 200 and the sound source processing unit 300 have already been completed. The sampling sound source is stored in the memory 550 and may be selected by the mode selection unit 600. Therefore, when the user does not have an external sound device or a functional massage is required, the mode selection unit 600 in the pain treatment mode, such as muscle pain, low back pain, shoulder pain, loss of appetite or hangover, fatigue recovery mode, such as fatigue recovery And sleep mode may be selected. The mode is visually displayed by the display window 610. In this embodiment, the mode selection unit 600 is illustrated as being installed in the body 1 of the cushion, but alternatively, a separate mode selection unit may be provided and connected to the body by a jack.

In addition, the sound source corresponding massage device of the present invention further includes a sound source output unit 700 for outputting the sound source input to the sound source input unit 200 as an audible sound simultaneously with the driving of the vibration member 100. The sound source output unit 700 may employ an external speaker (not shown) or earphones. Therefore, the user can receive a massage that varies depending on the music while listening to the music, so that the user does not feel bored even when used for a long time.

Hereinafter, the operation of the sound source corresponding massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The user places a cushion in which the device is installed in an appropriate area, such as a chair back or neck support. Then, the sound source input unit 200 is connected to a jack of an external audio device (not shown), and the music is selected by the user. In this case, the user may determine whether to receive only massage through the sound source output unit 700 or to listen to music or watch a movie at the same time as the massage.

When music or a movie starts, the sound source input from the sound source input unit 200 is filtered and separated by the number of vibration members 100 while passing through the sound source processing unit 300. For example, when six vibration members 100 are installed, they are separated into six vibration signals. Each of the vibration signals separated as described above is transmitted to the control unit 500 and the mixing operation is applied, and then transmitted to the vibration member 100 connected in a 1: 1 series to operate the vibration member 100. At this time, the control unit 500 to selectively relax the muscles of the body by selectively operating each vibration member 100, or by moving a pair of vibration members (100, 110) formed at the same height at the same time. do.

As described above, although the present invention has been described by way of limited embodiments and drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto and is within the equivalent scope of the general technical spirit and the claims to be described below in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. Of course, various modifications and variations are possible.

According to the sound source corresponding massage device of the present invention has the following effects.

First, since the sound source is supplied from the outside without using a preset internal sound source and converted into various signals to vibrate the vibrating member, it is possible to reduce the ambiguity of the massage device due to long time use.

Second, if you receive a massage that is variable depending on the sound source while listening to music or watching a movie, it can be performed in a much more comfortable state than simply receiving a massage, and thus a more synergistic treatment effect can be obtained.
