The power transmission member 1420 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may include at least one of a lower pulley member 1421, a belt member 1422, and an upper pulley member 1423.

The lower pulley member 1421 is fixed to the module actuator 1410, so that when the module actuator 1410 rotates, it can rotate at the same time. One side of the lower pulley member 1421 may contact the module actuator 1410, and the other side may contact the belt member 1422. In this case, the other side of the lower pulley member 1421 may be formed of a cylindrical member, and may be made to contact the belt member 1422, but is not limited thereto.

The belt member 1422 may transmit the rotational force of the lower pulley member 1421 to the upper pulley member 1423. One side of the belt member 1422 may be disposed to contact the lower pulley member 1421. Specifically, one side of the belt member 1422 may be disposed to surround the side surface of the cylindrical member of the lower pulley member 1421, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the belt member 1422 may be extended so that the other side may be disposed to contact the upper pulley member 1423.

The upper pulley member 1423 is fixed to the body pressure measuring member 1430, and may transmit the rotational force transmitted from the belt member 1422 to the body pressure measuring member 1430. One side of the upper pulley member 1423 may be formed of a member having a cylindrical shape and may be in contact with the belt member 1422, but is not limited thereto. In this case, the belt member 1422 may be disposed to surround the side surface of the cylindrical member of the upper pulley member 1423, but is not limited thereto. The rotation member 100 of the body pressure measurement member 1430 is fixed at the center of the upper pulley member 1423, and when the upper pulley member 1423 is rotated by the belt member 1422, the body pressure measurement member 1430 The rotating member 100 may rotate at the same time.

The body pressure measuring member 1430 may measure the displacement of the massage member 1450 by the user, and measure the user's body pressure by using this. Such, the body pressure measurement member 1430 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a rotating member 100, a worm gear 200, a first bearing 300, a bearing fixing member 310, a second bearing 350, It may include at least one of an air cylinder 400, an air inlet member 450, a sealing member 500, a fixing member 600, and a displacement meter 700.

The rotation member 100 may transmit the rotational force transmitted from the power transmission member 1420 to the wom gear 200. One end of the rotation member 100 may be fixed to the upper pulley member 1423 of the power transmission member 1420, and the other end may be coupled to the worm gear 200.

The worm gear 200 may transmit the rotational force transmitted from the rotation member 100 to the gear member 1440. One end of the worm gear 200 according to an example may be coupled to the rotating member 100. At this time, one end of the worm gear 200 may be alternately coupled with one end of the rotating member 100, and a constant gap may be allowed without being separated from each other. Therefore, in the body pressure measuring member 1430 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the massage member 1450 moves in the rear direction by the user's body pressure, the worm gear 200 rotates in one direction and the rotation member 100 The air cylinder 400, which will be described later, may be compressed by performing a linear motion with a certain distance apart.

For example, if a certain gap between the worm gear 200 and the rotating member 100 is not allowed, even if the massage member 1450 is moved by the user, the worm gear 200 is attached to the rotating member 100 Since it is fixed and cannot perform linear motion, the air cylinder 400 cannot be compressed.

On the other hand, as a coupling method of the worm gear 200 and the rotating member 100, various known techniques may be applied.

A spiral groove may be provided at the center of the worm gear 200, and the spiral groove may be engaged with the rotation gear 1442 of the gear member 1440. In this case, the rotation axis of the worm gear 200 and the rotation axis of the rotation gear 1442 may be disposed to be orthogonal. Accordingly, when the worm gear 200 rotates in the first direction, the rotation gear 1442 may rotate in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.

The first bearing 300 and the second bearing 350 may be fixed so that the worm gear 200 does not separate from the body pressure measuring member 1430. In addition, the first bearing 300 and the second bearing 350 may prevent the rotational motion of the worm gear 200 from being transmitted to the air cylinder 400. The first bearing 300 according to an example is provided with a pinching groove in the center, and may be fitted to one end of the worm gear 200. The second bearing 350 is provided with a through hole in the center thereof, and the rotation shaft of the worm gear 200 may be inserted.

The bearing fixing member 310 may be fixed so that the first bearing 300 does not deviate from one end of the worm gear 200. The bearing fixing member 310 may be disposed on the side of the first bearing 300. A fastening groove may be provided on the side of the rotation shaft of the worm gear 200 according to an example, and the bearing fixing member 310 may be fitted into the fastening groove to prevent separation from the worm gear 200.

The air cylinder 400 may compress internal air when the massage member 1450 moves in the rearward direction by the user's body pressure. A certain amount of air may be filled inside the air cylinder 400.
