Description

Controlling Method for Massage Apparatus

The present invention relates to a massage device.

Modern people work 1/3 of the time or more. When working, most people maintain a rigid posture or change in posture very insignificantly, so blood circulation is not good and certain muscles are prone to aggregation. Getting adequate rest is important for good health. However, in addition to simply taking a break, if you do enough stretching to relax your muscles and improve blood circulation, or if exercise is not performed in parallel, fatigue tends to accumulate and blood circulation is poor.

In order to reduce the fatigue of modern people, many massage devices such as a foot massage device or a massage chair are being developed. Among massage devices, a chair-shaped massage device allows a user to sit and receive a massage.

The massage device in the form of a chair has a coupling relationship or is constrained to each other so that the back supporting part and the buttock supporting part can rotate together, so that the posture of the massage device can be changed through a single driving unit such as an actuator. Accordingly, the user can receive a massage in a more comfortable position than simply sitting in a chair.

However, since the part supporting the buttocks and the part supporting the back are combined, it may be difficult for the user to take a supine position. In other words, it is difficult to implement both the operation to take the shape of a chair and the operation to take the shape of a bed with a single massage device.

Furthermore, the user may simply use the massage device not only to feel comfortable and take a break using the massage device, but also to relax muscle relaxation and smooth blood circulation locally or throughout the body.

For this purpose, various operations can be made apart from using a massage unit such as a massage machine, and development of a massage device in which the body is seated at various angles is being developed.

Patent Document 1 relates to a massage device provided so that a user can receive a massage while in a supine position. However, it is provided so that the user can receive the massage only in a lying state.

Patent Document 2 relates to a massage device for a mattress. Patent Document 2 is provided so that the mattress is tilted using a rotating plate to massage the user and to minimize the discomfort to the body by operating the mattress to be positioned horizontally when not in use. However, Patent Document 2 also relates to a massage device used in the form of a mattress, and it is difficult to change to have a shape of a chair, so that various postures cannot be provided to the user.

Although not disclosed in the patent documents, in the case of a massage device capable of changing various angles, the user's body is likely to deviate from the correct position in the massage device when the angle of the seating parts for seating the body is changed. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a structure or a control method to prevent such a situation.

The following detailed description is provided to provide a comprehensive understanding of the methods, apparatus, and/or systems described herein. However, this is only an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

In describing the embodiments of the present invention, if it is determined that the detailed description of the known technology related to the present invention may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the terms to be described later are terms defined in consideration of functions in the present invention, which may vary according to intentions or customs of users and operators. Therefore, the definition should be made based on the content throughout this specification. The terminology used in the detailed description is for the purpose of describing embodiments of the present invention only, and should in no way be limiting. Unless explicitly used otherwise, expressions in the singular include the meaning of the plural. In this description, expressions such as “comprising” or “comprising” are intended to indicate certain features, numbers, steps, acts, elements, some or a combination thereof, one or more other than those described. It should not be construed to exclude the presence or possibility of other features, numbers, steps, acts, elements, or any part or combination thereof.

1 is a perspective view of a massage device according to the present embodiment. The massage device 100 according to the present embodiment may include a first seating part 4 , a second seating part 5 , and a third seating part 6 .

Prior to the description, the term “hip” as used herein will be described. The part of the body corresponding to the buttocks is subdivided into the lower part of the buttocks (or buttocks), the upper part of the buttocks, such as the buttocks, the buttocks and the buttocks, and is called variously. However, it may not be uniformly differentiated according to each name, and it may be difficult to generalize and explain it because it is difficult to clearly distinguish between the names due to individual differences. Therefore, in the present specification, the entire buttocks are expressed using the terms "hip" or "buttocks", and the above-mentioned separate names are expressed using expressions such as the lower side or upper side of the buttocks. Therefore, due to the term "hip" used in this specification, it should not be construed as being limited to the dictionary meaning of "hip", and includes the user's entire buttocks or, in some cases, the entire buttocks, including body parts adjacent to the buttocks. Clarify that it should be construed as a term.

The first seating part 4 may be a part on which the user's buttocks are seated. However, not only the hip part is seated on the first seat part 4 , but the thigh part including at least a part of the hip part may be seated on the first seat part 4 . That is, the first seating part 4 may correspond to a part on which the user sits among the massage apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, and may be one of the parts supporting the user's body.

An operating principle of the first seating part 4 will be described later.

The second seating part 5 may be a part on which the user's upper body is seated. However, this does not mean that the second seating part 5 only seats the user's upper body, and the upper side of the user's body part on which the first seating part 4 is seated may be seated on the second seating part 5 . . Therefore, the second seating part 5 can seat the upper body including the upper part of the buttocks. For example, although it may vary depending on the shape of the backrest of the chair, in general, when sitting in a chair, the upper side of the user's waist and hips may be supported by the backrest of the chair. That is, the lower side of the hip is supported by the first seating part 4 , and the upper body including at least a part of the hip is seated and supported on the second seating part 5 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and depending on the shape of the second seating part 5 , only the user's waist may be supported, and not only the waist part but also the neck part or the head part may be seated and supported.

The third seating part 6 may be a part on which the lower body of the user is seated. In detail, the third seating part 6 may be a part on which the lower body below the knee of the user is seated. Accordingly, the third seating part 6 may be a part on which the lower body including the user's feet and calves is seated. Although the body part to be seated on the third seat 6 is not limited to the user's feet and calves, it may be preferable that the portion below the knee be seated on the third seat 6 in consideration of the sitting posture.

A space may be formed in the third seating part 6 into which a portion of the user's body below the knee can be inserted. The space may be formed by opening the front of the third seating part 6 , and closing the front of the third seating part 6 so that the user's foot is inserted from the upper side to the lower side of the third seating part 6 . It may be formed as such. When the front of the third seating part 6 is open, the user's lower body can be easily seated, and when the front of the third seating part 6 is closed, it is possible to massage the shin or parts adjacent to the shin There may be advantages to

The body size varies from person to person. Accordingly, the length of the third seating part 6 may be adjusted so that the third seating part 6 can be conveniently used even if the length of the part to be seated is different.

The first seating part 4 , the second seating part 5 , and the third seating part 6 may support the user's body, respectively. Each seating unit may serve to not only support the body but also to massage each body part. In order to perform a massage, each seating unit may be provided with a massage unit M for performing a massage.

2 is a view of the operation mode of the massage device according to the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 2 , it is possible to determine the operable modes of the massage apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment.

For a clear understanding of the invention in the drawings of the present specification, the first seating part 4, the second seating part 5, the third seating part 6 and the bases 1 and 2 to be described later are shown in the form of a frame. or simply illustrated.

The massage device 100 according to the present embodiment includes a first shaft 32 to which the first seating part 4 is rotatably connected and a support member 31 connected to the first shaft 32 to support the first shaft. ) may be included.

The first shaft 32 may be a rotation shaft of the first seating part 4 . The axis of rotation of the first seating part 4 does not mean that it must always rotate integrally with the first shaft 32 , but may mean that it rotates around the position of the first shaft 32 as an axis.

In addition, the support member 31 may also serve to support the load of the massage device 100 by supporting the first shaft 32 .

Figure 2 (a) is a view showing a first mode in which a separate operation is not made, Figure 2 (b) is a view showing a second mode in which the load applied to the user's waist can be relieved, Figure 2 (c) is a diagram illustrating a third mode in which the user can lie down.

2(a) shows a first mode (or base mode) in which a separate operation is not performed. The shape shown in Fig. 2 (a) may be a shape when the massage device 100 according to the present embodiment is de-energized. However, even if the massage device 100 is energized, the shape may not be changed immediately or the mode may not be changed. That is, an operation of massaging the body may be performed even in the first mode.

Hereinafter, in describing the angle and the rotation direction, a position or an operating direction will be described by setting an imaginary axis.

In detail, the virtual axis in the longitudinal direction of the massage device 100 among the directions horizontal to the ground is the x-axis, and the x-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis in the direction horizontal to the ground, and the virtual axis in the width direction of the massage device 100 is defined as the x-axis. As the y-axis, an imaginary axis perpendicular to both the x-axis and the y-axis is set as the z-axis. In this case, the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis may be virtual axes set to pass through the first shaft 32 .

In addition, in the x-axis, the direction to the side where the third seating part is located based on the center of the massage device 100 is "front", "front side", "front of massage chair" or "front side of massage chair", etc. It will be described using terms pointing to , and the direction to the side where the second seating part is located based on the center of the massage device 100 will be described using terms pointing to the back, such as “back” and “rear”.

In addition, one side of the parts partitioned based on the y-axis and the z-axis can be described in terms such as "the left or the left side of the massage chair", and the other side of the parts partitioned based on the y-axis and the z-axis is "massage chair" It can be described in terms such as “right or right side of”.

In addition, in the z-axis, the direction of the ground is described using terms that indicate a downward direction such as “down” and “bottom side”, and the direction toward the sky or the ceiling is a term indicating an upward direction such as “up” and “upside”. is explained using

In addition, in explaining the angle, it will be described with reference to the paper of the above-mentioned "in front of the massage chair". However, the angle is not necessarily described with reference to the ground in front of the massage chair, and the standard for angle description may vary as needed. For example, "A is positioned to form 10 degrees with the ground." Alternatively, the expression "A is positioned to form 10 degrees with the x-axis" means that A is positioned so that the angle A forms with the ground in front of the massage chair is 10 degrees, and the reference point is explicitly presented. In this case, the ground in front of the massage chair is not the standard, but the suggested reference point is the standard for explaining the angle. Furthermore, the angle in the present specification may mean the angle of the part on which the user's body is seated.

In the first mode, the first seating portion 4 may form a first angle A with the ground. The first angle A may satisfy a range of greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 15 degrees. Preferably, the first seating portion 4 may form about 10 degrees with the ground. However, it is not limited to the above-described range.

Forming the first angle A may assist so that the user's body can be naturally seated between the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 when the user is seated. In addition, it may serve to reduce the burden on the calves and feet below the knee by lifting the thigh.

In the first mode, the second seating portion 5 may be positioned to form an obtuse angle with respect to the first seating portion 4 . That is, the second seating part 5 may be positioned to form an obtuse angle with respect to the ground, and to have an angle forming an obtuse angle with respect to the first seating part 4 as well. That is, the second seating part 5 may have a shape inclined to the rear of the massage device 100 . The second seating part 5 may be positioned to form an angle of about 116 degrees to 120 degrees with respect to the first seating part 4 . Preferably it can be tilted about 118 degrees. However, the angle range for the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 is one embodiment and is not limited to the above-described angle range.

When the second seating part 5 is positioned to form an obtuse angle with respect to the first seating part 4 , the user can easily lean the upper body against the second seating part 5 . In addition, when the second seating part 5 is inclined, it is possible to better support the weight of the user's body than when the second seating part 5 is positioned at a right angle to the ground. In addition, since the second seating part 5 is inclined, it is possible to maximize the comfort felt by the user.

Figure 2 (b) is a view showing a second mode in which the load applied to the user's waist side of the massage device according to the present embodiment can be relieved. The second mode may be a mode in which the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 have a specific angle, and the weight is evenly distributed to support the user's body and to give the user a comfortable feeling as if he/she receives less gravity. have.

In addition, it may be a mode capable of minimizing the pressure applied to joints such as knees as well as the user's waist.

Accordingly, since the waist or joint is a part that supports the body during daily life, it is possible to reduce the burden on the waist or joints by using the massage device 100 according to the present embodiment, thereby providing comfort to the user.

In addition, the user's body is in close contact with the massage device 100, so that the massage effect by the operation of the massage unit may increase. In addition, if the heart is operated to be located lower than the lower body side, it can also exert a positive effect on blood circulation to relieve swelling of the body.

In the second mode, the first seating part 4 may be rotated using the first shaft 32 as a rotation axis. In the second mode, the first seating portion 4 may be positioned to rise higher than the first angle A to form a second angle B with the ground. The second angle B may be greater than the first angle A. The second angle B may be an angle having a range of greater than 15 degrees and less than or equal to 25 degrees with the ground. Preferably, the second angle B may be an angle forming about 20 degrees with the ground. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

Even in the second mode, the second seating portion 5 may be positioned to form an obtuse angle with respect to the first seating portion 4 . That is, when the massage apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is switched from the first mode to the second mode, the second seating part 5 may be rotated using the support member 31 as a rotation axis. The second seating part 5 may be more inclined to the rear of the massage device 100 . In this case, the second seating part 5 may be positioned to have a range of 120 to 136 degrees with respect to the first seating part 4 . Preferably, the second seating part 5 may be positioned to have an angle of about 123 degrees with the first seating part 4 . However, the above-described range is only an example and is not limited to the above-described range.

The second mode of the massage device 100 may mean a mode in which a body load is appropriately distributed. Therefore, the angle formed by the first seating portion 4 with the ground and the angle formed by the second seating portion 5 with the first seating portion 4 are not clearly defined, and may be performed in several steps depending on the degree of the angle. It may be formed separately. For example, in the second mode, such as the second mode 1 and the second mode 2, it is divided into several modes so that the angle can be appropriately adjusted according to the user's request.

Figure 2 (c) is a view showing a third mode (or 180 degrees reclining mode) in which the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 form 180 degrees.

In order to become the third mode, it may be preferable that the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 are formed to be able to rotate separately. When the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 are formed so that the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 restrain each other in order to maintain the shape of the chair, one actuator, etc. Although there is an advantage of being able to change the mode by using the , it may be difficult to implement the third mode as shown in the present embodiment.

Rotation of the first and second seating parts 4 and 5 may mean rotation from the x-axis to the z-axis or rotation from the z-axis to the x-axis. That is, the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 may be rotated using the support member 31 as a rotation axis.

For example, when the first seating part 4 is positioned to form a first angle A with the ground in the first mode and is switched to the second mode, in the x-axis to form a second angle B with the ground. It can be rotated towards the z-axis.

Conversely, when the first seating part 4 is switched from the second mode to the first mode, it is positioned to form a second angle B and rotates from the z-axis to the x-axis to form a first angle A with the ground. can

In addition, when the second seating part 5 is positioned to form an obtuse angle with the first seating part 4 in the first mode and is switched to the second mode, it rotates from the z-axis to the x-axis so as to be more inclined to the rear of the massage chair. can be Conversely, the second seating part 5 may be rotated from the x-axis to the z-axis when the second mode is switched to the first mode.

Accordingly, the rotation of the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 separately or independently means that the rotation of the first seating part 4 does not affect the rotation of the second seating part 5 . This may mean that the rotation of the second seating part 5 does not affect the rotation of the first seating part 4 .

That is, the rotation of both the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 as the mode is changed means that each of the seating parts is operated separately for the implementation of each mode. That is, the rotation of any one of the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 does not affect the rotation of the other one of the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 . Neither one rotation is performed in dependence on another rotation.

In order for the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 to be rotatable separately from each other, there is not necessarily a fastening relationship between the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 . However, when the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 are independently rotatable, there may be no difficulty when the massage device 100 is operated while switching between the first mode, the second mode and the third mode. have. The angle formed by the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 does not need to be exactly 180 degrees, and an angle close to 180 degrees may be formed within an error range.

Of course, in the massage apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, not only the posture is changed in the above-described three modes, but massage can be performed in each mode.

3 is a view showing the twisting operation of the massage device according to the present embodiment. When the massage device 100 is in the third mode, the massage device 100 may be capable of a twisting operation. As used herein, "twist" or "twisting" means that the first seating part 4 or the second seating part 5 rotates in a rotation direction perpendicular to the rotation direction when changing the above-described three modes. it could mean That is, "twist" or "twisting" may mean that the second seating part 5 is rotated to be inclined alternately to the left and right sides of the massage device 100 . That is, when one side of the second seating part 5 is rotated from the y-axis to the z-axis direction, the other side of the second seating part 5 is rotated from the z-axis direction to the y-axis direction, and the second seating part 5 ), when one side is rotated from the z-axis to the y-axis direction, the other side of the second seating part 5 may be rotated from the y-axis to the z-axis direction. That is, it means that both sides of the second seating part 5 are rotated to be inclined alternately with each other.

When the massage device 100 is capable of twisting, the user can stretch the upper body by twisting left and right when using the massage device 100 . Therefore, the massage device 100 according to this embodiment can also be performed by a massage machine, and can also be stretched by twisting the second seating part 5, so that it has a superior effect than conventional massage devices. can perform

4 is a view showing a stretching operation of the massage device according to the present embodiment.

The stretching operation of the massage device 100 according to the present embodiment may be an operation capable of stretching the body toward the ground based on the user's waist. In the present specification, the stretching operation does not exclude the stretching effect of the twisting operation or stretching the user's body only by the method to be described later, and may be a word selected for a concise and clear description of the invention.

For the stretching operation, the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 of the massage device 100 may be positioned to have an angle of 180 degrees or more. That is, unlike the twisting operation that can be stretched left and right around the user's body, the stretching operation may be an operation that can be stretched back and forth when describing the user's body as the center.

In detail, the second seating part 5 and the third seating part 6 may be lowered while forming 180 degrees with the ground, and the first seating part 4 may be positioned to be horizontal with the ground. can That is, the position of the first seating part 4 supporting the user's buttocks does not change in the third mode, but the second seating part 5 and the third seating part 6 descend toward the ground to stretch the user's body. can

In the stretching operation, the second seating part 5 may be rotated downwardly with respect to the support member 31 . In addition, separately from this, the third seating part 6 may be rotated downwardly based on the first seating part 4 and may be operated.

Accordingly, the second base 2 may slide according to the movement of the moving member 133 .

The second base 2 may include a second frame 21 , a frame wheel 24 and an actuating connection 25 .

The second frame 21 may be a frame of the second base 2 . The second frame 21 may be a portion connected to the first frame 11 to connect the second base 2 and the first base 1 . As the second frame 21 slides, the second base 2 may slide on the first base 1 .

The rotational degree of the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 according to the sliding distance and the sliding distance of the second base 2 on the first base may be variously set according to the intention of the user or the manufacturer. can

For example, the first operation part 42 may be provided on the first seating part 4 and the second operation part may be provided on the second seating part 5 . The first operation part 42 and the second operation part 52 may be provided as actuators.

In this case, the degree to which the first seating part 4 rotates according to the sliding distance of the second base 2 with respect to the first base 1 may be determined by electronic control of the first operation part 42 . . Similarly, the degree to which the second seating part 5 is rotated may be determined by electronic control of the second operation part 52 .

As such, the degree of rotation of the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 according to the sliding of the second base 2 may vary, and accordingly, the operation method of the massage device 100 may be changed.

The operation connection part 25 may be a part to which the second operation part 52 is connected. The second operation part 52 is a part that rotates the second seating part 5 . The angle of the first seating part 4 may be adjusted by rotation of the link according to the sliding of the second base 2 or the angle may be adjusted by the first operation part 42 .

The second operation unit 52 may have one side connected to the second mounting unit frame 51 and the other side connected to the second frame 21 . Although it is shown in the figure in the form of a bar connecting both sides of the second frame 21, the present invention is not limited thereto. The operation connection part 25 may be formed on the second frame 21 . That is, the shape of the operation connection part 25 may be appropriately changed according to the shape of the second frame 21 . The actuating connection part 25 is sufficient if it is formed to serve to connect the second actuating part 52 to the second frame 21 , and is not limited in shape.

The third operation unit 62 may have one side connected to the third mounting unit frame 61 and the other side provided on the lower side of the first mounting unit frame 41 or the second frame 21 .

The part to which the other side of the third operation part 62 is connected can be appropriately changed by the user, and when it is connected on the second frame 21 , it can be connected together with the second operation part 52 to the operation connection part 25 . can

The operation connection part 25 may be formed to be curved upward or downward of the second frame 21 to form a space occupied by the second operation part 52 and the third operation part 62 being connected.

The frame wheel 24 may be formed on the lower side of the second frame 21 to assist in sliding when the second base 2 slides on the first frame 11 . The frame wheel 24 is in contact with the first base 1 and serves to reduce friction that may occur between the first base 1 and the second base 2 when the second base 2 slides. can

Since the frame wheel 24 may be provided in the form of a wheel, it can assist the sliding of the second base 2 and the first base 1 and the second base 2 while the second base 2 is sliding. It is possible to reduce noise that may occur in the liver, and to minimize wear of the first frame 11 and the second frame 21 .

In detail, if the first frame 11 and the second frame 21 are in direct contact with each other and slide, the noise may be increased due to the load applied to the second base 2 . In addition, it may be difficult to smoothly slide the second base 2 and the first base 1 because the second base 2 and the first base 1 are in close contact with the load transmitted to the second base 2 . Accordingly, the frame wheel 24 is provided on the lower side of the second frame 21 to assist the role of the support of the second base 2 , and to allow the second base 2 to slide smoothly.

The frame wheel 24 may be symmetrically provided on the lower side of the second frame 21 .

The support member 31 may be formed in a curved surface. The support member 31 may slide integrally with the second base 2 . The reason why the support member 31 is formed in a curved surface is so that the portion supported by the base can occupy a larger size than that of the base.

Specifically, as the bases 1 and 2 increase, the installed area may increase. If the size of the base can be reduced, the installation area will also be reduced. However, the minimum size may be guaranteed to safely support the user's body.

In order to stably support the user's body, the sizes of the first and second seating units 4 and 5 may be greater than the widths of the bases 1 and 2 . Therefore, the support member 31 may be formed to have a curved surface in order to connect the seating parts and the base.

When the second operating unit 52 is connected to the second mounting unit frame 51 , the second operating unit 52 may be connected so that the second mounting unit 5 is not rotated to the left or right due to the operation of the second operating unit 52 . This is because it can be advantageous in providing support.

For example, the second seating part 5 is connected to the center or both sides of the second seating part frame 51 rather than being connected to one of both sides of the second frame 21 because the above-described twisting operation is possible. It may be desirable to be

11 is a view comparing the operation of the conventional massage device and the massage device according to the present embodiment. Specifically, FIGS. 11 (a) and 11 (b) are views showing the operation of a conventional massage device, and FIGS. 11 (c) and 11 (d) show the operation of the massage device according to this embodiment. the drawing shown.

Hereinafter, an example is given and described with reference to FIGS. 11(a) to 11(d).

11(a) and 11(b) , the rotational center of the user's body and the rotational center of the second seating part 5 are different from each other.

In the conventional case, the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 are rotated using the first shaft 32 as a rotation axis, and the user seated on the upper side of the first seating part 4 is the upper side of the hip or the waist. rotate around

Therefore, since the rotational center of the body and the rotational center of the second seating part 5 do not coincide with each other, as the second seating part 5 is rotated, the user's body descends along the longitudinal direction of the second seating part 5 . do.

On the other hand, referring to FIGS. 11(c) and 11(d), the rotational center of the second seating part 5 may coincide with the body's rotational center. Since the user's body is seated in the space provided by the second seating part 5 , the rotation radius of the second seating part 5 may be larger than the rotation radius of the body. Specifically, the rotation radius of the second seating part auxiliary frame 512 may be larger than the rotation radius of the body.

Specifically, the second seating part auxiliary frame 512 is rotated based on the second shaft 33, and the second shaft 33 is provided to coincide with the center of rotation of the human body, so the second seating part 5 The center of rotation of the human body may coincide with the center of rotation of the human body.

The fact that the center of rotation of the user's body and the center of rotation of the second seating part 5 coincide is not strictly judged. The posture of the user is different from person to person, and the size or shape of the body may be different for each person. Therefore, when everyone uses the massage device, the rotation center of the second seating part 5 and the rotation center of the human body may not coincide.

That is, in the present specification, the fact that the rotation center of the user's body and the rotation center of the second seating part coincide means that the rotation center of the user's body and the rotation center of the second seating part are positioned to be the same as possible rather than perfectly matching the rotation center. do.

That is, in the specification, the meaning that the center of rotation of the user's body and the center of rotation of the second seating part coincide means that the rotation center of the user's body and the rotation center of the second seating part are positioned as close as possible to each other to minimize the user's head slip phenomenon. means you can

12 is an operation diagram of the massage apparatus according to the present embodiment, FIG. 13 is an operation diagram of the massage apparatus according to another embodiment, and FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a control method of the massage apparatus.

Hereinafter, it will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 14 .

The massage device 100 according to the present embodiment may be changed in mode and operation as described above.

The control method of the massage device according to this embodiment may include an input step (S10), a mode determination step (S2), an angle adjustment step (S3, S4) and an alignment step (S5).

The input step S10 may be a step in which a mode or a specific operation of the massage device 100 is input. As described above, in the massage apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment, the angles of the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 may be changed.

The massage device 100 is in the form of a state when the massage device 100 is not energized, that is, a first mode in the form of a chair, and a second mode in which the load applied to the user's waist can be minimized when the user is seated. , a third mode in which the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 are provided parallel to the ground can be implemented. That is, the massage apparatus 100 can change the first mode to the third mode.

In addition, as described above, in the massage device 100 , the second seating part 5 rotates up and down alternately on both sides of the second seating part 5 with respect to the center of the width direction of the second seating part 5 . It may be provided to enable a twisting operation.

In addition, as described above, the massage device 100 may be provided with a stretching operation in which the angle formed by the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 exceeds 180 degrees.

The input step S10 may be a step in which the massage device 100 is changed to the third mode or a twisting operation or a stretching operation is input.

A twisting operation or a stretching operation may be performed in the third mode.

The twisting operation is preferably operated in the third mode. The twisting part 8 can be operated in the first mode or the second mode as long as it does not interfere with other parts.

Since the stretching operation is performed so that the angle formed by the first and second seating units 4 and 5 exceeds 180 degrees, the first and second seating units 4 and 5 are rotated by 180 degrees. It is preferable that the change to the third mode to form is carried out in advance.

That is, the input step (S10) is a mode in which the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 are positioned parallel to the ground or the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 ) may be a step in which an operation executed in a mode in which is positioned parallel to the ground is input.

When a command to change to the third mode is input in the input step S10, the mode determination step S2 may be performed.

Specifically, it may be determined whether the massage apparatus 100 is in the first mode (S21). If the massage device is not in the first mode, it may be determined whether the massage device is in the second mode (S22). If the massage apparatus 100 is not in the first mode and the second mode, since it is in the third mode, a separate mode change may not be performed. That is, if a mode change is input, no particular mode change is performed, and if a twisting operation or a stretching operation is input, a twisting operation or a stretching operation may be performed.

In the mode determination step (S2), determining whether the massage apparatus is in the first mode (S21) does not necessarily need to be performed before determining whether the massage apparatus is in the second mode (S22).

If the massage device 100 is not in the third mode, the angle adjustment steps S3 and S4 may be performed.

The angle adjusting steps S3 and S4 may be a step of adjusting the angles of the first seating part 4 and the second seating part 5 based on the mode determined in the mode determining step S2 .

The angle adjusting step (S3, S4) includes a first angle adjusting step (S3) performed in a state in which the massage device is in the first mode and a second angle adjusting step (S4) performed in a state in which the massage device is in the second mode can do.

Hereinafter, it will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 14 .

Since the first angle adjustment step (S3) is performed in a state in which the massage apparatus 100 is in the first mode, the first seating part operating step (S31) in which the first seating part 4 is rotated may be performed.

The first seating part operation step ( S31 ) may be a step in which the angle formed by the first seating part 4 with the ground increases. The first seating portion 4 may form 7 to 12 degrees with the ground. Preferably, the first seating portion 4 may form about 10 degrees.

The first seating part 4 may be operated to form a predetermined angle with the ground in order to prevent the user's body from descending along the longitudinal direction of the second seating part 5 .

It is possible to prevent the user's body from descending along the second seating part 5 in the massage device 100 through the first seating part operation step S31 .

When the first seating part operation step S31 is completed, the second seating part operation step S33 may be performed.

The second seating part operating step ( S33 ) may be a step in which the second seating part 5 is adjusted parallel to the ground. Rotation of the first seating part 4 is not excluded in the second seating part operation step S33 .

That is, in the second seating part operation step S33 , only the second seating part 5 may not be operated.

After the first seating part operation step S31 is completed, the first seating part 4 may be controlled to form an angle of about 10 degrees with the ground. In the second seating part operation step S33 , the first seating part 4 may be controlled to rise further before the second seating part 5 is rotated toward the ground.

Specifically, the angle formed by the first seating portion 4 with the ground may form an angle of 18 degrees to 22 degrees. Specifically, the first seating part 4 may be rotated so that the angle formed by the first seating part 4 with the ground is about 20 degrees.

When the angle of the first seating part 4 is increased before the second seating part 5 is rotated, the upper body of the user is rotated so that the second seating part 5 is positioned parallel to the ground. ) can be prevented from descending along the longitudinal direction.

That is, it is possible to prevent the user's head from sliding by increasing the angle of the first seating portion 4 . Accordingly, the massage device can be operated smoothly without the user having to correct the posture again.

The second seating part operation step ( S33 ) may be a step in which the second seating part 5 is rotated toward the ground. In order for the massage device 100 to be changed to the third mode, it is essential that the second seating part 5 be positioned parallel to the ground. In addition, in order to perform the twisting operation and the stretching operation as described above, the massage device is preferably changed to the third mode.

Therefore, when the massage device maintains the first mode or the second mode, the second seat part operation step ( S33 ) may be an essential step for changing to the third mode or for a twisting operation or a stretching operation.

When the second seating part 5 is positioned parallel to the ground, the alignment step S5 may be performed so that the raised first seating part 4 is again positioned parallel to the ground.

The alignment step ( S5 ) may be the last step in which the first seating part 4 is positioned parallel to the ground and the third mode is implemented.

Through the alignment step (S5), the user may seat the body on the massage device 100 to perform a massage or perform a twisting operation or a stretching operation.

A third seat part operation step ( S32 ) may be performed between the first seat part operation step ( S31 ) and the second seat part operation step ( S33 ). The third seating part operating step (S32) may be a step in which the angle of the third seating part 6 is also adjusted as the first seating part 4 is raised.

The third seating part 6 may be positioned to form about 90 degrees with the first seating part 4 in the first mode. Accordingly, when the angle of the first seating part 4 with the ground increases as the first seating part operation step S31 is performed, the third seating part 6 may be adjusted to be positioned parallel to the ground.

In addition, even when the first seating part 4 is positioned parallel to the ground through the alignment step S5, the third seating part 6 is positioned parallel to the ground despite the rotation of the first seating part 4 can be adjusted. That is, even in the alignment step ( S5 ), the third seating part 6 may be rotated.

Hereinafter, a case in which a command is input in the input step S10 when the massage device is operating in the second mode will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14 .

If the massage device 100 is in the second mode, since the first seating part 4 already forms an angle of about 20 degrees with the ground, steps such as the first seating part operation step S31 may not be necessary.

Accordingly, when the massage device 100 is in the second mode, the second seating unit operation step S42 may be performed immediately. Accordingly, the mode may be changed to the third mode faster than when the massage apparatus 100 is in the first mode.

If the third seat part 6 is not positioned parallel to the ground in the second mode of the massage device 100, the third seat part operation step (S41) will be performed before the second seat part operation step (S42) is performed. can

That is, the third seating part 6 may be provided parallel to the ground at a position where the first seating part 4 forms about 20 degrees with the ground. As the third seating part 6 is provided parallel to the ground, it is possible to provide a user with comfort despite the elevation of the first seating part 4 .

After the second seating unit operation step (S42) is performed, the alignment step (S5) may be performed. Since the alignment step (S5) is the same as described above, a description thereof will be omitted.
