Description

Massage chair with method that position of hand massage module can be adjusted according to user's arm length}

The present invention relates to a massage chair to which an operation method in which the position of the arm massage module can be adjusted according to the user's arm length is applied, and more specifically, the position of the arm massage module is automatically set according to the arm length of the user's body. Thus, the present invention relates to a massage chair to which an operation method in which the position of the arm massage module can be adjusted according to the length of the user's arm that can massage each user's exact blood spot is applied.

Many people suffer from a rigid body due to stress, muscle agglomeration due to lack of exercise, and an imbalance of circulation in the body. However, for various reasons, a professional masseur cannot receive massage, and interest is increasing in a device capable of performing massage or acupressure in a simple way.

It has been medically proven that only acupressure on the hand or wrist among body parts can improve headaches, digestive disorders, stomachache, chest pain, menstrual pain, chronic fatigue, and laryngeal pain. It is required to pressurize the blood spot.

However, conventionally, devices and tools for acupressure have been disclosed, but in particular, as a massage module and method that can be applied in a massage chair, accurately massage the blood spot according to the location of the blood spot according to the length of each different arm of the user. There was a lack of awareness of what to do.

For example, Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-1189464 relates to a massage chair equipped with a massage airbag that simultaneously acupressures the entire area of the hand and arm, and the health of the user can be improved by simultaneously pressing the hand and arm. It relates to a massage chair equipped with a massage airbag that simultaneously pressurizes the entire area of one hand and arm so that it can be used. Although it is possible to perform a massage with an airbag, there is no awareness of arranging acupressure points according to the length of the user's arm, so the recognition of accurately pressing the blood spot was insufficient.

For example, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1942506 relates to a massage chair equipped with an arm acupressure function, and is intended to improve massage efficiency by enabling acupressure massage on the user's arm to be effectively performed. There was no awareness of arranging acupressure points according to the length of the user's arm, so there was insufficient recognition of accurately pressing the blood spot.

For example, Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2018-0094227 relates to a set of a mouse, mouse pad, and keyboard support with a low-frequency stimulation function for relieving muscle pain, and an acupressure point protruding upward is located on each device, There was no awareness of placing acupressure points, so there was insufficient recognition of precisely pressing the blood spot.

The method of measuring the arm length is to measure the horizontal distance from the back of the elbow of the arm bent at a right angle to the inner point of the wrist from the upper body of the user's back in close contact with the wall. The measurer can measure the horizontal distance from the back point of the elbow to the inner point of the wrist by placing a fixed ruler on the right side of the subject to the back of the elbow and adjusting the moving ruler to touch the inner point of the wrist. At this time, a large horizontal person should be kept parallel to the subject's forearm and sitting surface.

FIG. 8 shows a graph in which the arm length of a person is measured for ages 20 to 69 years old and gender as a whole according to the method of FIG. 7. According to the graph of FIG. 8, it can be understood that the average length of a person's arm is 255.49 cm.

The initial positions of the arm acupressure protrusion 421 and the hand acupressure protrusion 431 may be set based on the elbow contact part 120 as described above.

In this case, the hand acupressure protrusion 431 may have an initial position according to the average length of the person's arm of FIG. 8, and the arm acupressure protrusion 421 may have an initial position according to the position of the blood spot. At this time, as described above, since the position of each user's blood spot is located at a similar distance from the hand, the initial position of the arm acupressure protrusion 421 can be formed accordingly.

For example, the hand acupressure protrusion 431 may be positioned 245 to 265 cm apart from the elbow contact portion 120. The arm acupressure protrusion 421b may be positioned 2 to 10 cm apart from the hand acupressure protrusion 431. The arm acupressure protrusion 421a may be positioned 15 to 25cm apart from the hand acupressure protrusion 431.

In addition, for example, in FIG. 6, the hand acupressure protrusion 431 may be positioned 255.49cm apart from the elbow contact part 120. The arm acupressure protrusion 421b may be positioned 3 to 7.5cm apart from the hand acupressure protrusion 431. The arm acupressure protrusion 421a may be positioned 19.5 to 22.5cm apart from the hand acupressure protrusion 431. However, it is not limited to this location.

At this time, the set initial position may be changed as the support part 410 is moved according to the user's arm length.

(3) Operation module 500

The manipulation module 500 refers to a module capable of adjusting the movement of the arm massage module 400, and may be installed at any position of the massage chair 10. Adjusting the movement of the arm massage module 400 according to the manipulation module 500 will be described later.

2. Operation method in which the position of the arm massage module can be adjusted according to the user's arm length

3 is a view showing whether the seating on the arm acupressure module 400 varies according to the length of the user's arm. In particular, whether or not the arm acupressure module 400 is seated may mean that the user's hand is positioned on the hand acupressure protrusion 431.

3(a) shows that the user's arm is short and does not touch the hand acupressure protrusion 431 and the user's hand is not seated.

3(b) shows that the user's hand is not seated beyond the hand acupressure protrusion 431 because the user's arm is long.

3(c) is a view showing that the user's arm is suitable for the length of the user's arm, and that the user's hand is seated on the hand acupressure protrusion 431.

The operation method in which the position of the arm massage module can be adjusted according to the user's arm length is the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, 433b located at the arm acupressure protrusion 421 and the hand acupressure protrusion 431, It is about determining the position of the user's hand and arm.

First, it may include determining a pressure value sensed by one or more of the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, and 433b. That is, the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, and 433b determine where the user's arm or hand is located on the support part 410 according to the detection status and degree.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3(a), when the user's arm is positioned on the first arm acupressure protrusion 421a, only the first detection sensor 423a can be detected, and the operation module 500 It may be determined that the arm and hand are located between the first arm acupressure protrusion 421a or the first arm acupressure protrusion 421a and the second arm acupressure protrusion 421b.

The manipulation module 500 may include determining a movement degree of the support part 410 based on the sensed pressure value. That is, the manipulation module 500 may determine whether to move forward, backward, or stop the support part 410 according to the sensed pressure value.

According to the determined degree of movement, the manipulation module 500 may be manipulated so that the support part 410 moves.

At this time, the operation module 500 determines the pressure value sensed by the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, 433b a plurality of times, until the support part 410 is determined to stop. You can repeat the operation.

Specifically, it will be described whether or not the support portion 410 is moved according to the position of the hand.

4 is a diagram illustrating whether or not the support part 410 operates according to whether or not the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, and 433b sense a stimulus.

At this time, "○" shown in the table means that the pressure value sensed by the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, 433b is greater than or equal to a preset value, and "X" is the first to fourth detection sensors. A pressure value sensed by the detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, and 433b may mean undetected. "Δ" may mean that a pressure value sensed by the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, and 433b is less than a preset value.

At this time, it means that the pressure value in the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, and 433b is greater than or equal to the preset value, the pressure in the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, and 433b. It may mean that it is detected above a set value.

At this time, that the pressure value in the first to fourth sensing sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, and 433b is less than the preset value is the pressure detected by the first to fourth sensing sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, 433b. Although the value is less than the preset value, the pressure value is not a pressure value that does not significantly fall short of the preset value, and may mean a state in which a certain amount of pressure is sensed.

The fact that the pressure value is not detected by the first to fourth sensing sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, 433b means that the pressure value detected by the first to fourth sensing sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, 433b corresponds to a preset value. It may mean a pressure value that is not significantly less than, for example, a value less than 10% of a preset value, or an undetected state in which no pressure is detected.

In the first row of FIG. 4, when the pressure value detected by the first detection sensor 423a is greater than or equal to a preset value, and is not detected by the second detection sensor 423b and the third detection sensor 433a, the above-described As described above, it may be determined that the user's arm and hand are located between the first arm acupressure protrusion 421a or the first arm acupressure protrusion 421a and the second arm acupressure protrusion 421b.

The manipulation module 500 may determine that the support part 410 moves backward by the first moving distance.

In this case, the first moving distance means a distance at which the user's hand can be seated on the hand acupressure protrusion 431 when the support part 410 moves by the first moving distance. The first movement distance may be a preset value based on the position between the first arm acupressure protrusion 421a or the first arm acupressure protrusion 421a and the second arm acupressure protrusion 421b, but is not limited thereto and It can be any value depending on the exact arm length.

In the second row of FIG. 4, the pressure value detected by the first detection sensor 423a is greater than or equal to a preset value, the pressure value sensed by the second detection sensor 423b is greater than or equal to the preset value, and the third detection sensor If it is not detected in (433a), it can be determined that the user's hand is located between the second arm acupressure protrusion 421a or the second arm acupressure protrusion 421b and the hand acupressure protrusion 431.

The manipulation module 500 may determine that the support part 410 moves backward by the second moving distance.

In this case, the second moving distance refers to a distance at which the user's hand can be seated on the hand acupressure protrusion 431 when the support part 410 moves by the second moving distance. The second moving distance may be a preset value based on the user's hand being positioned between the second arm acupressure protrusion 421a or the second arm acupressure protrusion 421b and the hand acupressure protrusion 431, but is not limited thereto. It can be any value depending on the user's exact arm length.

In the third row of FIG. 4, the pressure value detected by the first detection sensor 423a is greater than or equal to a preset value, the pressure value detected by the second detection sensor 423b is greater than or equal to the preset value, and the third detection sensor When the pressure value sensed at 433a is less than the preset value, it may be determined that the user's hand is positioned over the hand acupressure protrusion 431.

At this time, the fact that the pressure value sensed by the third sensor 433a is less than the preset value means that the user's hand does not apply sufficient pressure to the third sensor 433a, and the operation module 500 It is determined that the user's hand is not completely seated on the hand acupressure protrusion 431 but is overlaid. In this case, the fourth detection sensor 433b may not detect the pressure value.

The manipulation module 500 may determine that the support part 410 moves backward by the third moving distance.

In this case, the third moving distance means a distance at which the user's hand can be seated on the hand acupressure protrusion 431 when the support part 410 moves by the third moving distance. The third moving distance may be a preset value based on the position of the user's hand on the hand acupressure protrusion 431, but is not limited thereto and may be an arbitrary value according to the user's exact arm length.

In this case, the first moving distance is greater than the second moving distance, and the second moving distance is greater than the third moving distance.

In the fourth row of FIG. 4, the pressure value detected by the first detection sensor 423a is greater than or equal to a preset value, the pressure value detected by the second detection sensor 423b is greater than or equal to the preset value, and the third detection sensor If the pressure value sensed by (433a) is less than the preset value, and the pressure value sensed by the fourth sensor (433b) is less than the preset value, it is determined that the user's hand is positioned beyond the hand acupressure protrusion (431). I can.

At this time, the fact that the pressure value sensed by the third sensor 433a and the fourth sensor 433b is less than the preset value means that the manipulation module 500 is the front end of the hand acupressure protrusion 431. It reaches to the fourth detection sensor 433b and the pressure value is sensed, but it is determined that the pressure value less than the preset value is sensed and the user's hand exceeds the hand acupressure protrusion 431 because the pressure value is not applied due to the failure to settle. will be.

The manipulation module 500 may determine that the support part 410 moves forward.

At this time, the support part 410 may move so that the user's hand can be seated on the hand acupressure protrusion 431.

In the fifth row of FIG. 4, the pressure value detected by the first detection sensor 423a is greater than or equal to a preset value, the pressure value detected by the second detection sensor 423b is greater than or equal to the preset value, and the third detection sensor When the pressure value sensed by 433a is greater than or equal to the preset value, and the pressure value sensed by the fourth sensor 433b is greater than or equal to the preset value, the support part 410 may stop.

At this time, when the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, and 433b respectively detect a pressure value greater than or equal to a preset value, it means that both the user's arm and hand are seated in the correct position, and the operation module ( 500) may be determined to stop the support 410.

In this case, pressure values greater than or equal to a preset value in each of the first to fourth detection sensors 423a, 423b, 433a, and 433b may be different.
