Description

Massage system using air pressure {MASSAGING SYSTEM USING AN AIR PRESSURE}

The present invention relates to a massage system, and more particularly, to a massage system using air pressure that can maximize the massage efficiency by individually controlling a plurality of massage units that are individually worn on the leg, waist, upper body part of the human body, etc. It is about.

In general, massage is a type of therapy that involves circulating, kneading, pressing, pulling, knocking, or moving a body with hands or a special device to help blood circulation and relieve fatigue. Such massage is a manual therapy to adjust the modulation of muscles, joints, and intestines to increase its function and to reduce the excitement of nerves. Massage is effective for insomnia, headache, hypertension, circulatory disorders in blood and body fluids, physical dysfunction of muscles and joints, ataxia of various neuralgia and sympathetic nerves, and dysfunction of the digestive and urinary organs.

Although massage or acupressure therapy is used as a supplement for health, such as prescription for muscle pain or vascular disease, recently, the use of a diet to break down fat in certain parts such as the lower body, waist, belly, etc. It is also widely used. As a result, various types of massagers are being released to stimulate necessary areas without the help of others.

In particular, recently, a massage device using air pressure has been widely released so as to be worn on a user's leg, waist, or arm part to implement a massage or acupressure effect on a part of a user's body.

A conventional massage using air pressure is illustrated in FIG. 1. Massage device 10 using the air pressure is provided on the left and right pairs of the boot-type massage units (11, 12), each of the boot-type massage units (11, 12) are individually worn on the left and right leg portions of the user, the air is Driving a plurality of airbags 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d, and a plurality of airbags 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d separately It includes a drive unit 20.

The drive unit 20 has an air pump for generating air of a predetermined pressure therein and a distribution valve for controlling air injection to each air bag or air discharge from each air bag.

The dispensing valve is connected to individually communicate with the plurality of airbags 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d via the plurality of hoses 13. The distribution valve has a plurality of distribution passages and a valve body for controlling the flow direction of air passing through the distribution passages, and each distribution passage is individually connected to the plurality of hoses 13. By the operation of the air pump and the distribution valve, the injection or discharge of air is controlled.

However, such a conventional massage has a disadvantage that the massage efficiency is not high as a single drive unit 20 controls to drive a pair of left and right pairs of massage devices (11, 12) at the same time.

In addition, a conventional massager can be entangled with each other as the hose 13 is exposed to the outside as a plurality of hoses 13 connected to each air bag (11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d), For this reason, the arrangement or arrangement of the hoses 13 is not neat and there is a disadvantage that its appearance is reduced.

The present invention has been made in view of the above point, it is an object of the present invention to provide a massage system using the air pressure to maximize the massage efficiency by controlling to drive each massage unit individually.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a massage system using air pressure that can significantly improve the user's ease of use by separately mounting a plurality of drive units to a plurality of massage units.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a massage system using the air pressure that can improve the appearance beauty by applying a structure in which a plurality of hoses connected to each air bag in the massage unit.

The present invention for achieving the above object is as follows.

A plurality of massage units which are individually worn on each part of the human body and are provided with a plurality of airbags therein; And

And a plurality of drive units detachably mounted to the respective massage units, the case having a case, an air pump installed in the case, and a distribution valve connected to the air pump.

One side of the massage unit is provided with a plurality of hose connectors, a plurality of hoses are individually extended to each airbag of the massage unit in the plurality of hose connectors, the plurality of hoses are characterized in that the installation is concealed do.

The plurality of hoses are characterized in that they are embedded in the massage unit.

The plurality of hoses are characterized in that the cover is installed to be concealed.

The case of the drive unit has a plurality of grooves to which the plurality of hose connectors are fitted, characterized in that each groove is communicatively connected to the distribution valve.

Each of the grooves is connected to the outlet port side of the distribution valve individually via a plurality of communication pipes to communicate with each other, the inner diameter surface of the groove is characterized in that the sealing ring is interposed.

The massage unit includes a first massage unit worn separately on the left and right legs of the user, a second massage unit worn on the waist of the user, and a third massage unit worn on the user's chest and back.

The present invention as described above, the plurality of drive units can be detachably attached to a plurality of massage units, thereby maximizing the massage efficiency by controlling to drive a plurality of massage units individually.

In addition, the present invention can significantly improve the user's ease of use by mounting a plurality of drive units to the plurality of massage units separately.

In addition, the present invention can improve its appearance beauty by applying a structure in which a plurality of hoses connected to each air bag are embedded in the massage unit.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figure 2, the massage system using the air pressure according to the present invention is a plurality of massage units (10, 20, 30) and each massage unit (10, 20, 30) to be individually worn on each part of the human body to perform a massage function , 20, 30 includes a plurality of drive units (100, 200, 300) to drive individually.

Each massage unit (10, 20, 30) is the first massage unit 10 in the form of boots worn on both the left and right legs of the user, the second massage unit 20 in the form of bands worn on the waist and abdomen of the user, the user It includes a third massage unit 30 in the form of a band worn on the chest and back.

The first massage unit 10 is formed in a boot shape that can be covered from the sole of the user to the thigh, a plurality of airbags (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, 10g, 10h) between the inside and the outer shell It is partitioned and formed to correspond to each part of the user's leg. Each airbag 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f, 10g, 10h is formed between the inner and outer skin of the massage unit 10 by a high frequency fusion process or the like.

In particular, the airbags of the first massage unit 10 are the first airbag (10a) to pressure the toe of the user, the second airbag (10b) to pressure the heel of the user, the third airbag (10c) to pressure the user's ankle ), The fourth airbag 10d to press the user's shin, the fifth air bag 10e to press the calf of the user, the sixth airbag 10f to press the lower part of the user's knee, the upper part of the user's knee It is divided into seven airbags (10g) and an eighth airbag (10h) which presses the thigh of the user.
