On the other hand, the finger scraper 1 to be described below will be described by taking as an example the finger scraper 1 having the same components as those described with reference to Fig. However, it is not necessary for the finger fastener 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention to be implemented by the finger fastener 1 described with reference to Fig.

Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the operation principle of the finger scraper according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 2 is a view showing the position of a specific part of each finger, for example, blood, to be subjected to acupressure using a finger shaver according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a side view showing a state in which the finger shaper is initialized according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 4 to 6 are views for explaining the operation principle of the finger shaver in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

When the power is supplied to the power supply unit 10, the acupressure needle 44 can be moved upward. That is, the acupressure needle 44 can be disposed at the initial position S0 so that a space for accommodating a finger is provided in the finger receiving portion 42, as shown in Fig.

Hereinafter, the operation principle of the finger shaper 1 will be described on the assumption that the finger shaver 1 is initialized.

The fingertip 1 can perform shiatsu pressure by the reciprocating motion of the acupressure needle 44. In addition, the acupressure needle 44 can perform the reciprocating motion by the driving unit 46. [

The driving unit 46 may include a worm gear 47 and a motor 48, as shown in Fig.

The motor 48 may be rotated by the power supplied from the power supply unit 10. [ The worm gear 47 is coupled to the rotating shaft of the motor 48 and can rotate.

Therefore, the acupressure needle 44 can reciprocate by the rotational force of the motor 48 transmitted through the worm gear 47.

5, before the reciprocating motion is started, the controller 50 determines whether the finger 60 placed in the initial position S0 is in contact with the finger 60 received in the finger receiving portion 42, To a second position (S2) capable of being brought into contact with the first position.

The control unit 50 can determine whether the acupressure needle 44 has reached the second position S2. As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the acupressure needle 44 has reached the second position S2, the reciprocating motion can be started.

The controller 50 may monitor the current that is increased as the load increases, for example, to the motor 48 to determine whether the acupressure needle 44 has reached the second position . When the acupressure needle (44) reaches the second position, the acupressure needle (44) is resistant to continuous movement by a finger or the like, which may be located in the finger receiving portion, 48 may be overloaded so that an electrical signal such as an increase in current can be sensed. Accordingly, the controller 50 may determine that the acupressure needle 44 has reached the second position S2 when an increase in current is sensed. Here, the controller 50 may include a current sensing circuit (not shown) for sensing the current.

Subsequently, the acupressure needle 44 disposed at the second position S2 repeatedly reciprocates between the second position S2 and the third position S3 as shown in Fig. 6 .

The third position S3 may be a predetermined position existing between the first position S1 and the second position S2 where the finger holding portion 42 is disposed. Further, the third position S3 may be determined by the pressure on the finger 60 of the acupressure needle 44.

The reciprocating motion may include a first movement in which the acupressure needle 44 moves toward the first position S1 and a second movement away from the first position S1. The first movement may be performed in a direction to increase the pressure on the finger 60 of the acupressure needle 44 and the second movement may be performed in a direction to increase the pressure on the finger 60 of the acupressure needle 44 Can be performed in a direction decreasing the amount of the exhaust gas.

Also, the reciprocating motion may be performed between the fourth position S4 and the third position S3, which is upward by a predetermined distance from the second position S2. The fourth position S4 may be determined by the pressure on the finger 60 of the acupressure needle 44. [

The first movement is performed when the control unit 50 changes the rotation direction of the motor 48 when the current sensed by the motor 48 increases to the first current S corresponding to the predetermined acupressure pressure So that it can be performed.

The second movement is performed when the control unit 50 changes the rotational direction of the motor 48 so that the second current I when the contact point needle 44 reaches the second position S2 To < RTI ID = 0.0 > a < / RTI > However, the method of controlling the second motion by the control unit 50 may be various and is not necessarily limited to the control method described above.

The control unit 50 also controls the rotation of the motor 48 to rotate until it is increased to the first current S so that the reciprocating motion is repeated for the predetermined shaking time period can do.

Therefore, according to the finger tonometer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, even if a finger having a different size is accommodated, the finger pressure can be effectively performed by recognizing the height of the finger. In addition, it is possible to effectively stimulate the position of the specific region corresponding to each finger, that is, the position of the blood, and smooth the function of the human body according to the characteristic of each blood.

Hereinafter, a method of controlling a finger fastener according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a finger fastener according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

8, a method of controlling finger finger 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes receiving information related to an operation of finger finger 1 via input unit 10, (S30) of determining whether or not the acupressure needle (44) has reached a position where it can be brought into contact with a finger, performing acupressure so as to meet a preset condition (S40), determining whether the pressure has reached the pressure (S50), determining whether the pressure pressure performing time has been completed (S60), and stopping the pressure pressure (S70). Hereinafter, each step will be described in detail.

The input unit 20 may receive information related to the operation of the finger shaper 1 (S10).

The user can select a button or an icon corresponding to at least one of execution of acupressure, stop of acupressure, acupressure pressure, and acupressure performance time through the input unit 20. That is, it is possible to start the pressure by the user's input.

The control unit 50 may control so that the acupressure needle 44 starts to descend toward the first position where the finger pressure applying unit 42 is disposed (S20).

That is, before starting the above-mentioned acupressure, control is performed so that the acupressure needle 44 disposed at the initialization position S0 moves to the second position S2 in contact with the finger 60 accommodated in the finger accommodating portion 42 .

The control unit 50 can determine whether the acupressure needle 44 has reached the second position S2 at which the finger can be contacted (S30).

The control unit 50 may include a separate sensor for sensing whether the acupressure needle 44 has reached the second position S2. The control unit 50 controls the pressure needle 44 to move further toward the first position when the pressure needle 44 does not reach the second position S2 as a result of the determination can do.

The control unit 50 may control the finger pressure unit 40 to perform the finger pressure so as to meet the predetermined condition (S40).

The predetermined condition may include at least one of acupressure pressure and acupressure performance time, and the acupressure pressure may be performed by reciprocating movement of the acupressure needle 44 as described above.

In addition, in the case where the reciprocating motion is performed at the predetermined acupressure pressure during the predetermined acupressure performance time, the time interval t for applying the predetermined acupressure pressure to the finger may be constant each time.

Alternatively, the time intervals t1 and t2 for applying the predetermined acupressure pressure to the finger in the first reciprocating motion (N = 1) and the second reciprocating motion (N = 2), for example, as shown in Fig. 8 It can be different.

9 to 11, the controller 50 may provide a user interface 100 for receiving information related to the operation of the finger tracker 1 from a user. Hereinafter, the control unit 50 receives the input from the touch screen for convenience of explanation.

Referring to FIG. 9, the user can set an acupressure pressure and an acupressure performance time by selecting an image or text corresponding to the acupressure pressure 110 and the acupressure performance time 112. The user may select an image or text corresponding to the acupressure pressure 110, for example, an image or text corresponding to the acupressure pressure "on" 118 as shown in FIG. Also, for example, the user can select an image or text corresponding to the acupressure performance time "five minutes" 120, as shown in Fig. Thus, the control unit 50 can control the acupressure unit 40 to perform the acupressure during the "5 minutes" with the acupressure needle 44 being "above" the acupressure pressure, By selecting an image or text corresponding to the stop 116, the acupressure by the acupressure needle 44 can be performed.

The control unit 50 can determine whether the pressure by the pressure needle 44 has reached the preset pressure (S50).

As described above, the acupressure pressure can be performed by reciprocating motion including the first motion and the second motion, and the control unit 50 determines whether or not the predetermined acupressure pressure has been reached by the first motion can do.

As a result of the determination, the controller 50 can control the fingertip needle 44 to move further toward the first position when the pressure does not reach the predetermined pressure. That is, the upper device control unit 50 controls the fingertip acupuncture needle 44 so that the fingertip acupuncture needle 44 can provide a greater pressure to the fingers accommodated in the finger accommodating unit 42, So that the driving unit 46 can be controlled to receive an external force for moving the driving unit 46. At this time, the position of the acupressure needle 44 may actually vary, but the position of the acupressure needle 44 hardly changes, and only the pressure applied to the finger by the acupressure needle 44 may be increased.

As a result of the determination, the control unit 50 may perform control to perform the second movement when the pressure has reached the predetermined pressure by the first movement. In addition, the controller 50 may control the acupressure needle 44 to continuously perform the reciprocating motion.

The control unit 50 may determine whether the previously performed acupressure time has been completed (S60).

That is, the controller 50 may determine whether the previously performed acupressure time has been completed after performing the first exercise, and if it is determined that the predetermined acupressure- The acupressure needle 44 may be moved to the second position S2 so as to further perform the first motion and the second motion.

The predetermined time may be a time at which the reciprocating motion including the first motion and the second motion can be performed at least one more time.

The control unit 50 may control to stop the finger pressure (S70).

When the predetermined action time is completed after the first action is performed by the finger pressure unit 44 or when an input corresponding to the stop of the finger pressure is received from the user, It is possible to control to stop the finger pressure.

The controller 50 may control the second motion such that the acupressure needle 44 is disposed at the initialization position S0.

Therefore, according to the finger tonometer 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, even if a finger having a different size is accommodated, the finger pressure can be effectively performed by recognizing the height of the finger. In addition, it is possible to effectively stimulate the position of the specific region corresponding to each finger, that is, the position of the blood, and smooth the function of the human body according to the characteristic of each blood.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. The present invention is not limited to the drawings. In addition, the embodiments described in this document can be applied to not only the present invention, but also all or some of the embodiments may be selectively combined so that various modifications can be made.
