Users can carry a portable oxygen bottle and use concentrated oxygen whenever needed.

However, the configuration for discharging oxygen of various functions has been described so far, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the discharge port 540 of various shapes or functions may be used in the massage device 100 .

10 is a view showing an air supply unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The massage device 100 may include an air supply unit 520 . The air supply unit 520 may include an air supply unit case 1050 fixed to the main frame of the massage device. A sound insulating material using a material such as a sponge or paper may be used on the inner surface of the air supply case 1050 . A compressor 1030 may be mounted in the air supply case 1050 , and the compressor 1030 may make a large noise. Accordingly, the air supply case 1050 may include a sound insulating agent so that the noise of the compressor 1030 is not transmitted to the user. The noise of the compressor 1030 felt by the user by the air supply case 1050 using the sound insulating material may be lowered to about 37 dB or less.

The air supply unit 520 may include a first damper 1060 . A part of the first damper 1060 may be located between the main frame 2110 of the massage device 100 and the air supply case 1050 . A portion of the first damper 1060 may be positioned between the oxygen generator 530 main bracket and the air supply case 1050 . The air supply case 1050 may include at least one connecting leg 1051 . The first damper 1060 may be located at a lower end of the connection leg 1051 .

The first damper 1060 may prevent the vibration of the air supply unit 520 from being transmitted to the main frame 2110 . The first damper 1060 may be made of rubber, urethane, or silicone. The first damper 1060 may reduce resonance of the air supply unit 520 due to the viscosity of the material itself. Also, since the first damper 1060 does not generate additional noise, not only vibration but also noise of the air supply unit 520 can be reduced.

As already described, the air supply unit 520 may include a compressor 1030 . The compressor 1030 may cause vibration, and the vibration may be transmitted to the user along the main frame 2110 . Vibration may prevent the user from receiving a comfortable massage. The first damper 1060 may prevent the vibration of the compressor 1030 from being transmitted to the user riding the main frame 2110 .

The air supply unit 520 may include a compressor 1030 for generating oxygen. The compressor 1030 is mounted inside the air supply case 1050 and may be a device for sucking in external air. The compressor 1030 may suck in external air and supply it to the oxygen generator 530 . The compressor 1030 may generate vibration, noise, and heat. Noise may be reduced by the sound insulating material included in the air supply case 1050 and the air supply cover 1020 . Vibration may be reduced by the first damper 1060 and the second damper 1040 . Heat may be lowered by the cooling fan 1010 .

The air supply unit 520 may include a second damper 1040 . The second damper 1040 may be used to couple the oxygen generating compressor 1030 and the air supply case 1050 to each other. A screw structure may be included at both ends of the second damper 1040 . One end of the second damper 1040 may be coupled to a lower end of the compressor 1030 . The other end of the second damper 1040 may be coupled to the upper end of the bottom surface of the air supply case 1050 .

In addition, the second damper 1040 may prevent the vibration of the oxygen generating compressor 1030 from being transmitted to the air supply case 1050 . More specifically, the second damper 1040 may include a spring to prevent vibration of the compressor 1030 from being transmitted to the air supply case 1050 . The spring coefficient of the second damper 1040 may be determined according to the excitation frequency of the compressor 1030 . The second damper may have an elastic modulus for isolating a natural vibration frequency generated by the compressor 1030 for generating oxygen.

More specifically, when the internal configuration of the compressor 1030 rotates and reciprocates, vibration occurs due to imbalance or shaking of the device, and this force is referred to as an excitation force. The magnitude of the excitation force of the rotating device is expressed as follows.

F = m*r*w^2

F: excitation force, r: eccentric distance, m: eccentric mass, w: rotational angular velocity

In addition, it is referred to as a frequency or natural vibration frequency having a frequency of vibration generated due to the rotational or reciprocating motion of the compressor 1030 . In addition, the degree to which the second damper 1040 transmits the vibration of the equipment is referred to as a vibration transmission rate. The vibration transmission rate is expressed as follows.

TR = 1/abs(1-r^2)

abs(): absolute value, r: fd/fn, fd: excitation frequency of compressor 1030, fn: natural frequency of damper (=1/(2*pi)*root(k/m)), k: damper spring coefficient of, m: mass of the damper

Therefore, it is necessary to lower the vibration transmission rate in order to block the vibration. When the damper does not transmit the vibration of the compressor 1030, it is referred to as vibration-proof or vibration-proof. In order to decrease the vibration transmission rate, the r should be greater than the root(2). Moreover, it is preferable that r becomes larger than 3. The second damper 1040 may have a spring coefficient k for reducing the excitation frequency of the compressor 1030 .

As already described, the vibration of the compressor 1030 may prevent the user from comfortably receiving the massage. The massage device 100 according to the present disclosure may be provided with a double vibration preventing means. That is, the first damper 1060 and the second damper 1040 may prevent the vibration of the compressor 1030 from being transmitted to the user riding the main frame 2110 . Therefore, the user can receive a massage comfortably.

The cooling fan 1010 may be variably controlled according to the temperature of the compressor 1030 . For example, the massage device 100 may measure the temperature of the compressor 1030 using a sensor. The massage device 100 may increase the rotation speed of the cooling fan 1010 based on the temperature of the compressor 1030 . The rotation speed of the cooling fan 1010 may be proportional to the temperature of the compressor 1030 . The massage device 100 may operate the cooling fan 1010 when the temperature of the compressor 1030 is higher than a predetermined threshold value.

The massage device 100 may further operate the cooling fan 1010 for 1 to 3 minutes after the operation of the air supply unit 520 stops. Alternatively, the massage device 100 may operate the cooling fan 1010 until the temperature of the air supply unit 520 is lower than a predetermined threshold value even after the operation of the air supply unit 520 stops. Since the air supply unit 520 is a device that generates a lot of heat, a high temperature may be maintained even after the operation of the air supply unit 520 is stopped. The high temperature may reduce the lifespan of the air supply unit 520 as well as the surrounding devices. Therefore, the massage device 100 may prevent the temperature of the air supply unit 520 from being maintained excessively elevated by operating the cooling fan 1010 .

Also, the air supply unit 520 may include an air supply unit cover 1020 . The cover 1020 may cover the opening of the air supply case 1050 . The opening of the air supply case 1050 may be formed at an upper end of the air supply case 1050 .

The cap of the air supply hole 1021 may change the direction of the cold air by the cooling fan 1010 . For example, the direction of the cold air generated by the cooling fan 1010 may be parallel to the ground. The cap of the air supply hole 1021 may change the direction of the cold air to be perpendicular to the ground and toward the inside of the air supply unit case 1050 .

The cooling fan 1010 blows air into the air supply case 1050 through the air supply hole 1021 of the air supply cover 1020, and the air supplied into the air supply case 1050 passes through the air exhaust hole. It is possible to cool the compressor 1030 for generating oxygen by allowing it to escape through the air.

More specifically, the compressor 1030 for generating oxygen may include a first cylinder chamber 1111 located on the side of the air supply hole 1021 and a second cylinder chamber 1112 located on the side of the air discharge hole 1022 . The cooling fan 1010 may blow cold air toward the first cylinder chamber 1111 through the air supply hole 1021 . The cold air may cool the compressor 1030 . Also, the cold air may be heated by the compressor 1030 . The heated air may be discharged through the air discharge hole 1022 . The air supply unit 520 having the structure as shown in FIG. 11 has the effect of cooling the compressor 1030 inexpensively by using only one cooling fan 1010 .

The air discharge hole 1022 of the air supply cover 1020 may include at least one hole. The air pressure inside the air supply case 1050 may be increased by the cooling fan 1010 . The air heated by the compressor 1030 may be discharged from the air supply case 1050 to the outside by the pressure difference.

12 is a view for explaining a first damper and a second damper of the air supply unit according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The first damper 1060 may have a donut shape. A screw is passed through a hole included in the first damper 1060 , so that the air supply case 1050 may be coupled to the main frame 2110 or the main bracket 1210 of the oxygen generator 530 . Although it will be described again later, the main bracket 1210 is a mechanism for fixing the oxygen concentration module.

The first damper 1060 may be positioned between the main bracket 1210 and the air supply case 1050 . Also, the first damper 1060 may be positioned between the main frame 2110 and the air supply case 1050 .

The first damper 1060 may be located at the lower end of the connecting leg 1051 included in the air supply case 1050 . The air supply case 1050 may include four connecting legs 1051 . Some of the connecting legs 1051 may be coupled to the main frame 2110 . In addition, some of the connection legs 1051 may be coupled to the main bracket 1210 of the oxygen generator 530 . The vibration of the air supply unit 520 may be prevented from being transmitted to the main bracket 1210 or the main bracket 1210 by the first damper 1060 .

The second damper 1040 may include a bolt shape at both ends. One end of the second damper 1040 may be coupled to a lower end of the compressor 1030 . The other end of the second damper 1040 may be coupled to the upper end of the bottom surface of the air supply case 1050 . A spring may be provided between both ends of the second damper 1040 . Vibration of the compressor 1030 may be prevented from being transmitted to the air supply case 1050 by the second damper 1040 .

Since the massage device 100 according to the present disclosure prevents double vibration by the first damper 1060 and the second damper 1040, the user can comfortably receive a massage.

A sound insulating material using a material such as a sponge or paper may be used on the inner surface of the integrated case 2030 . The compressor 1030 included in the integrated case 2030 may make a large noise. Therefore, the integrated case 2030 may use a sound insulating agent so that the noise of the compressor 1030 is not transmitted to the user. The noise of the compressor 1030 felt by the user by the integrated case 2030 using a sound insulating material may be lowered to about 37 dB or less.

A compressor 1030 and an oxygen generator 530 may be mounted inside the integrated case 2030 . There is an effect that the maintenance of the massage device 100 becomes easier by the modularized integrated oxygen generator 2000 .

The integrated oxygen generator 2000 may include a third damper 2021 therein. The third damper 2021 may correspond to the first damper 1060 of FIG. 10 . The integrated oxygen generator 2000 may include a compressor holder 2023 therein. The compressor holder 2023 may be a structure for coupling the compressor 1030 to the integrated case 2030 . The third damper 2021 may be positioned between the compressor holder 2023 and the integrated case 2030 . The integrated case 2030 may include at least two third dampers 2021 .

Vibration may prevent the user from receiving a comfortable massage. The third damper 2021 may prevent the vibration of the compressor 1030 from being transmitted to the user riding on the integrated case 2030 and the main frame 2110 .

The integrated oxygen generator 2000 may include a compressor 1030 for generating oxygen. The compressor 1030 is mounted inside the integrated case 2030 and may be a device for sucking in external air. The compressor 1030 may suck in external air and supply it to the oxygen generator 530 . The compressor 1030 may generate vibration, noise, and heat. Noise can be reduced by the sound insulating material in the integrated case 2030 and the integrated cover 2010 . Vibration may be reduced by the third damper 2021 and the fourth damper 2022 . Heat may be lowered by the cooling fan 2011 .

The cooling fan 2011 may be variably controllable according to the temperature of the compressor 1030 . For example, the massage device 100 may measure the temperature of the compressor 1030 using a sensor. The massage device 100 may increase the rotation speed of the cooling fan 2011 based on the temperature of the compressor 1030 . The rotation speed of the cooling fan 2011 may be proportional to the temperature of the compressor 1030 . The massage device 100 may operate the cooling fan 2011 when the temperature of the compressor 1030 is higher than a predetermined threshold value.

The massage device 100 may further operate the cooling fan 2011 for 1 to 3 minutes after the operation of the compressor 1030 is stopped. Alternatively, the massage device 100 may operate the cooling fan 2011 until the temperature of the compressor 1030 is lower than a predetermined threshold value even after the operation of the compressor 1030 is stopped. Since the compressor 1030 is a device that generates a lot of heat, a high temperature may be maintained even after the operation of the compressor 1030 is stopped. The high temperature may decrease the lifespan of the compressor 1030 as well as surrounding devices. Therefore, the massage device 100 operates the cooling fan 2011 to prevent the temperature of the air supply unit from being maintained excessively elevated.

The oxygen concentration module 1310 may generate concentrated oxygen by concentrating oxygen from outside air. The oxygen concentration module 1310 may use a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) method. The PSA method uses the selective adsorption power of an adsorbent (Zeolite) to separate nitrogen and oxygen in the air. According to the PSA method, high-pressure air is passed through the adsorption tower and nitrogen and oxygen gas can be produced through continuous operations of adsorption, equalization, and desorption. Since the oxygen concentration module 1310 uses the PSA method, it is possible to generate high purity oxygen of up to 99%.

The oxygen concentration module 1310 may use an adsorbent such as zeolite. Since the oxygen concentration module 1310 has high durability, it may take less effort for maintenance. For example, the oxygen enrichment module 1310 may guarantee 9000Hr performance.

In addition, the second convex grip 1332 may be inserted into the second concave portion (not shown) of the oxygen concentrating module 1310 so that the oxygen concentrating module may be coupled to the oxygen concentrating module holder. For example, the coupling portion 1413 indicates that the first convex grip 1331 is inserted into the first concave portion 1311 of the oxygen concentrating module 1310 .

Also, the oxygen concentrating module 1310 and the main bracket 1210 may be screwed together.

The regulator 1350 may constantly maintain the pressure of the concentrated oxygen generated from the oxygen concentration module. The atmospheric pressure of the concentrated oxygen generated by the oxygen generating module 1310 may increase or decrease rapidly. When the atmospheric pressure of the concentrated oxygen rapidly rises or falls, a physical burden may be placed on the devices near the oxygen generating module 1310 and the lifespan of the devices near the oxygen generating module 1310 may be shortened. The regulator 1350 may reduce the physical burden of peripheral devices by maintaining the atmospheric pressure of the concentrated oxygen constant.

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may perform various operations based on the measured values.

The oxygen generator 530 may include a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of the gas. The pressure sensor may be included in the oxygen generation sensor unit 1520 . The pressure sensor may be included in the sensor unit 310 . 14 , the control board 1340 may include an oxygen generation sensor unit 1520 . It may be connected to the control board 1340, the oxygen generation module 1310, and a pipe 1420 for measuring pressure. The pressure sensor included in the control board 1340 may measure the atmospheric pressure of the concentrated oxygen generated by the oxygen generation module 1310 . Alternatively, the pressure sensor may measure the pressure inside the oxygen generating module 1310 . Alternatively, the pressure sensor may measure the pressure inside the oxygen exhaust chamber 1840 .

Referring back to FIG. 15 , the oxygen generation control unit 1510 may acquire the pressure of concentrated oxygen from the pressure sensor. The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may determine whether the oxygen concentration module normally operates based on the pressure of the concentrated oxygen.

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may determine whether the pressure of the concentrated oxygen is equal to or greater than a predetermined first threshold value and is less than a predetermined second threshold value. When the pressure of the concentrated oxygen is equal to or greater than the first threshold value and less than the second threshold value, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 may determine that the oxygen generation unit 530 is operating normally. The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may transmit a signal indicating that the oxygen generation unit 530 is normal to the control unit 300 .

When the pressure of the concentrated oxygen is less than the first threshold or greater than or equal to the second threshold, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 may determine that the oxygen generation unit 530 is operating abnormally. The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may transmit a signal indicating that the oxygen generation unit 530 is abnormal to the control unit 300 .

The control unit 300 may take necessary measures based on the signal of the oxygen generation control unit 1510 . For example, the controller 300 may display on the display that there is a problem in the oxygen generator 530 . Also, the controller 300 may cut off the power to the oxygen generator 530 in order to protect the user from abnormal operation of the oxygen generator 530 .

Also, the controller 300 may receive information about the gas pressure of the oxygen exhaust chamber from the pressure sensor. In addition, when the information on the gas pressure is less than or equal to the first threshold and greater than the third threshold, the control unit 300 may output a signal indicating that the life of the zeolite included in the oxygen generator has expired. In this case, the first threshold value may be greater than the third threshold value. The third threshold may be a predetermined value. The user may know when to replace the zeolite based on the output signal, and may replace the zeolite. Therefore, the massage device 100 can supply optimal oxygen to the user.

Also, when the information on the gas pressure is less than or equal to the third threshold value, the controller 300 may output a signal indicating that there is a failure in the oxygen generator 530 . When the information on the gas pressure is less than the third threshold value, when the gas of the oxygen generator 530 leaks, there is an abnormality in the air supply part 520 , or some of the pipes included in the oxygen generator 530 are blocked can be Since the user can quickly recognize that there is an abnormality in the massage device 100, he or she can respond quickly.

Hereinafter, the piping of the oxygen generator 530 will be described together with FIG. 16 .

16 is a view for explaining piping of an oxygen generator according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The oxygen generation control board 1340 and the oxygen generation module 1310 may be connected to a pressure measuring tube 1420 . Since the pressure measurement tube 1420 has already been described, a redundant description will be omitted.

A first pipe 1630 may be connected between the air supply unit 520 and the oxygen generator 530 . In the first pipe 1630 , the compressed air generated by the air supply unit 520 may flow to the oxygen generator 530 . The first tube 1630 may have a strength that can withstand the pressure of compressed air.

The oxygen generating module 1310 may generate concentrated oxygen based on the external air supplied by the air supply unit 520 . Concentrated oxygen generated by the oxygen generating module 1310 may be dried. This is because moisture is not separately supplied from the oxygen generating module 1310 , and some of the moisture included in the external air sucked into the first pipe 1630 is absorbed by the oxygen generating module 1310 . Since the concentrated oxygen is dry, the tubes included in the massage device 100 may be dry inside, and mold may not occur. Therefore, the concentrated oxygen inhaled by the user is hygienic and there may be no odor caused by mold.

Concentrated oxygen may move to the regulator 1350 through the second tube 1610 . The atmospheric pressure of the concentrated oxygen generated by the oxygen generating module 1310 may be variable. The regulator 1350 may constantly change the pressure of the concentrated oxygen and output it.

The regulator 1350 and the output valve may be connected through the third pipe 1620 . Concentrated oxygen having a constant pressure by the regulator 1350 may move from the regulator 1350 to the output valve. The output valve may be controlled by the oxygen generation control unit 1510 . The output valve may or may not discharge concentrated oxygen to the discharge pipe 1640 based on a signal from the oxygen generation control unit 1510 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and concentrated oxygen having a constant pressure may flow into the discharge pipe 1640 without passing through the output valve.

The discharge pipe 1640 may be connected to the flow pipe. The flow pipe is connected to the discharge port 540 , and the discharge port 540 may supply concentrated oxygen to the user.

17 is a view for explaining piping of an oxygen generator according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The oxygen generation controller 1510 may change the mode of the oxygen generator 530 or stop the operation of the oxygen generator 530 based on the received signal. The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may receive a signal from the control unit 300 .

When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the control unit 300 may transmit a control signal to the oxygen generation control unit 1510 . In addition, based on an input signal from the user input unit 2180 or the massage device control device 2200 , the controller 300 of FIG. 3 may determine whether to transmit a signal to the oxygen generation controller 1510 . Also, based on an input signal of the user input unit 2180 or the massage device control device 2200 , the controller 300 may operate the oxygen generator 530 in one mode among a plurality of modes.

The oxygen generator 530 may include a first valve 1710 . The first valve 1710 may be configured to mix external air into the concentrated oxygen generated by the oxygen generating module 1310 . The first valve 1710 may be controlled by the oxygen generation controller 1510 .

The discharge pipe 1640 may include a first discharge pipe 1641 and a second discharge pipe 1642 . The first discharge pipe 1641 may be connected to the first valve 1710 . When the first valve 1710 is opened, external air may be introduced into the first discharge pipe 1641 . When the first valve 1710 is closed, external air may not flow into the first discharge pipe 1641 .

The second discharge pipe 1642 may be a pipe through which concentrated oxygen having a constant pressure supplied from the regulator 1350 flows. That is, the third pipe 1620 may be connected to the second discharge pipe 1642 .

When the first valve 1710 is opened, the external air of the first discharge pipe 1641 and the concentrated oxygen of the second discharge pipe 1642 may be mixed and delivered to the user through the flow path. At this time, the flow rate flowing through the flow pipe by the external air may increase, but the concentration of oxygen may decrease.

When the first valve 1710 is closed, the concentrated oxygen of the second discharge pipe 1642 may be delivered to the user through the flow path pipe. Since external air is not supplied to the flow pipe, the flow rate flowing through the flow pipe may be small. However, the oxygen concentration of the gas flowing through the flow path may be high.

The user input unit 2180 or the massage device control device 2200 may include a button for changing the mode of the oxygen generating device. The button may be a physical button or an icon displayed on the screen in software. The user can change the mode of the oxygen generator by pressing a button. For example, the at least one mode may be changed such as the first mode -> the second mode -> ... -> the Nth mode -> OFF -> the first mode. Here, OFF means that the oxygen generating device is terminated. The control unit 300 may transmit a signal to the oxygen generation control unit 1510 based on a signal from the user input unit 2180 or the massage device control device 2200 . The signal may be related to a mode of the oxygen generating device. The oxygen generator may control the amount of oxygen generated or the concentration of oxygen based on the received signal.

The signal may be related to a mode of the oxygen generating device. The oxygen generation controller 1510 may change the mode of the oxygen generator based on the received signal.

When the signal received from the control unit 300 indicates the first mode, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 closes the first valve 1710 and supplies only the concentrated oxygen generated by the oxygen concentration module 1310 to the flow path tube. The generator 530 may be operated.

The first mode generates 1 L/min of concentrated oxygen, and the concentration of oxygen in the concentrated oxygen may be 80% to 90%. Referring to FIG. 17 , when the oxygen generation control unit 1510 closes the first valve, external air may not be supplied to the first discharge pipe 1641 . The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may discharge the concentrated oxygen from the second discharge pipe 1642 to the flow path pipe. Here, the concentrated oxygen may be concentrated oxygen whose pressure is constantly changed by the regulator 1350 . Concentrated oxygen may be delivered to a user through a flow path.

When the signal received from the control unit 300 indicates the second mode, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 opens the first valve 1710 and mixes the concentrated oxygen and external air generated by the oxygen concentration module 1310 to flow path The oxygen generator 530 may be operated to supply it to the tube.

The second mode generates 2 L/min of concentrated oxygen and the concentration of oxygen in the concentrated oxygen may be 45% to 55%. Compared to the first mode, the second mode may have a higher flow rate and a lower oxygen concentration in the flow path. Referring to FIG. 17 , when the oxygen generation control unit 1510 opens the first valve, external air may be supplied to the first discharge pipe 1641 . In addition, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 may discharge the concentrated oxygen from the second discharge pipe 1642 to the flow path pipe. Here, the concentrated oxygen may be concentrated oxygen whose pressure is constantly changed by the regulator 1350 . The external air of the first discharge pipe 1641 and the concentrated oxygen of the second discharge pipe 1642 may be mixed and delivered to the user through the flow path.

When the signal received from the control unit 300 indicates the third mode, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 may increase the power supplied to the oxygen concentration module 1310 or the air supply unit 520 . For example, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 may increase the voltage or current supplied to the oxygen concentration module 1310 or the air supply unit 520 . Also, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 may close the first valve. Since the first valve is closed, external air from the first discharge pipe 1641 may not flow into the flow pipe.

When the power, voltage, or current supplied to the oxygen concentration module 1310 or the air supply unit 520 increases, the oxygen concentration module 1310 may generate concentrated oxygen of higher purity. For example, the third mode may generate 1 L/min of concentrated oxygen and the concentration of oxygen in the concentrated oxygen may be 90% to 100%.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the massage device 100 may supply oxygen in one mode without including the first to third modes. The massage device 100 may generate a gas containing 50% or more and 60% or less of oxygen by 1.5 liters or more and 2.5 liters or less per minute by using the oxygen generator 530 . In addition, the massage device 100 may discharge the gas generated by the oxygen generator to the oxygen outlet 540 . The massage device 100 may stop or start the operation of the oxygen generator 530 based on the user's selection. The user can optionally inhale about 2L per minute of 50% or more and 60% or less of oxygen.

As already described, the second oxygen enrichment chamber 1820 may include a nitrogen-rich gas. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a gas containing nitrogen from being introduced into the oxygen discharge chamber 1840 .

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may close the sixth valve 1855 so that the concentrated oxygen generated in the first oxygen enrichment chamber 1810 may not be supplied to the nitrogen discharge chamber 1830 . Accordingly, it is possible to prevent unnecessary waste of concentrated oxygen.

Also, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 may supply the gas from the second oxygen concentration chamber 1820 to the nitrogen discharge chamber 1830 by opening the seventh valve 1856 . The nitrogen discharge chamber 1830 may collect nitrogen. The massage device 100 may include a nitrogen discharge pipe. The nitrogen discharge pipe may be connected to a space separated from the space in which the massage device 100 is located. That is, the generated concentrated nitrogen may be discharged to a space separated from a space using the massage device 100 . Therefore, oxygen may increase in the space where the user is. For example, if the massage device 100 is inside the house, the concentrated nitrogen may be discharged to the outside of the house.

In addition, when oxygen supply is to be stopped according to a user input or a decision of the controller 300 , the oxygen generation controller 1510 may close the fourth valve 1853 and open the sixth valve 1855 . Accordingly, the concentrated oxygen generated in the first oxygen enrichment chamber 1810 may be discarded through the nitrogen exhaust chamber 1830 .

Next, a process in which the second oxygen enrichment chamber 1820 generates enriched oxygen and the first oxygen enrichment chamber 1810 discharges nitrogen will be described.

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may close the second valve 1851 to not supply external air from the air supply unit 520 to the first oxygen concentration chamber 1810 . The material included in the first oxygen enrichment chamber 1810 may discharge nitrogen.

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may supply external air from the air supply unit 520 to the second oxygen concentration chamber 1820 by opening the third valve 1852 . The material included in the second oxygen enrichment chamber 1820 generates enriched oxygen by adsorbing nitrogen from the outside air.

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may close the fourth valve 1853 so that the gas of the first oxygen concentration chamber may not be supplied to the oxygen discharge chamber. As already described, the first oxygen enrichment chamber 1810 may include a nitrogen-rich gas.

The oxygen generation controller 1510 may supply the concentrated oxygen generated in the second oxygen concentration chamber to the oxygen discharge chamber 1840 by opening the fifth valve 1854 . Concentrated oxygen of the oxygen discharge chamber 1840 may be supplied to the user along the discharge pipe 1640 and the flow path.

Also, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 may supply the gas from the first oxygen concentration chamber 1810 to the nitrogen discharge chamber 1830 by opening the sixth valve 1855 . The nitrogen discharge chamber 1830 may collect nitrogen. The massage device 100 may include a nitrogen discharge pipe. The nitrogen discharge pipe may be connected to a space separated from the space in which the massage device 100 is located. That is, the generated concentrated nitrogen may be discharged to a space separated from a space using the massage device 100 . Therefore, oxygen may increase in the space where the user is. For example, if the massage device 100 is inside the house, the concentrated nitrogen may be discharged to the outside of the house.

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 may close the seventh valve 1856 so that the concentrated oxygen generated in the second oxygen concentration chamber 1820 may not be supplied to the nitrogen discharge chamber 1830 . Accordingly, it is possible to prevent unnecessary waste of concentrated oxygen.

In addition, when oxygen supply is to be stopped according to a user input or a decision of the controller 300 , the oxygen generation controller 1510 may close the fifth valve 1854 and open the seventh valve 1856 .

The left-right direction may mean a left-right direction when the user sits on the massage device 100 . The oxygen outlet 1910 may be linear. The oxygen outlet 1910 may discharge concentrated oxygen downward toward the user. Also, the oxygen outlet 1910 may discharge concentrated oxygen toward the user's face. That is, the oxygen outlet 1910 may not discharge concentrated oxygen toward the back of the user's head.

The massage device 100 may include a concentrated oxygen suction port 1920 for inhaling concentrated oxygen in the user's shoulder region.

The remaining concentrated oxygen may be sucked into the intake port 1920 together with the surrounding air. The air sucked into the suction port 1920 may be discharged to a place where the user is not present. Also, the air sucked into the suction port 1920 may be used again to generate concentrated oxygen by the oxygen generator 530 .

Concentrated oxygen may flow through the oxygen outlet 1910 and the inlet 1920 . In addition, there may be an effect of collecting a lot of oxygen on the user's face by the flow of concentrated oxygen. Therefore, it is possible to allow the user to inhale concentrated oxygen without using a rod-shaped outlet as shown in FIG. 9 . In this case, the massage device 100 may have a simple design, which not only gives the user a sense of satisfaction in terms of aesthetics, but also has the effect of increasing the durability of the discharge port.

According to another embodiment, the oxygen outlet 1930 may be formed on the left and right sides of the user along the direction of the main frame 2110 .

The air sucked into the suction port 1940 may be discharged to a place where the user is not present. Also, the air sucked into the suction port 1940 may be used again to generate concentrated oxygen by the oxygen generator 530 .

9 and 19 , the discharge ports 540 , 1910 , and 1930 may include a second filter to prevent the user from inhaling foreign substances. That is, the concentrated oxygen that has moved along the flow pipe may pass through the second filter before being discharged through the discharge ports 540 , 1910 , and 1930 . The second filter may filter and discharge dust or harmful substances that may be present in the air supply unit 520 , the oxygen generator 530 , and the flow path. Accordingly, the massage device 100 may not only discharge oxygen but also perform an air purification function.

The second filter may include a fragrance nanocapsule. It allows the user to feel the scent while inhaling the concentrated oxygen. Fragrance nanocapsules are scented substances packaged in nanocapsules. When a shock is applied to the nanocapsule, the capsule may break and the fragrance inside the capsule may escape. The user can also smell the scent. The concentrated oxygen will pressurize the second filter and the nanocapsules in the second filter may break under force. The user can smell the scent while inhaling oxygen. The fragrance nanocapsule may be an aromatic fragrance. The user can calm the mind and body while smelling the aroma.

The massage device 100 may include a third filter. Fragrance nanocapsules may be included in the third filter rather than in the second filter. The massage device 100 may control the flow of concentrated oxygen using a valve. The massage device 100 may filter fine dust or harmful substances through the second filter. The second filter and the third filter may be connected in parallel. The flow of concentrated oxygen to the second filter may not be controlled by the valve. The massage device 100 may determine whether to open the valve according to a user input or a predetermined condition of the control unit 300 . When the massage device 100 opens the valve according to the user's input or a predetermined condition of the control unit 300, concentrated oxygen may flow toward the third filter, and the user can feel the fragrance from the concentrated oxygen that has passed through the third filter. have. In addition, when the massage device 100 closes the valve according to the user's input or a predetermined condition of the control unit 300, the concentrated oxygen may not flow toward the third filter, and the user inhales the clean concentrated oxygen that has passed through the second filter. can do.

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may acquire the user's physical state or massage mode. The user may input his/her body state or massage mode through the user input unit 2180 or the massage apparatus control device 2200 . The physical condition can be expressed as an index for the degree of fatigue. The massage mode may include at least one of concentration mode, meditation mode, recovery mode, stretching mode, sleep mode, vitality mode, golf mode, hip-up mode, examinee mode, zero gravity mode, and growth mode. The massage apparatus 100 may change a massage pattern according to a massage mode.

In addition, the massage device 100 may acquire the user's body state by using a sensor. The user's physical condition may be related to fatigue and stress index. The massage device 100 may measure the number of steps, heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, or electrocardiogram of the user by using the sensor. The massage apparatus 100 may determine an index related to the user's fatigue level or stress index based on the user's step count, heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, or electrocardiogram. For example, when the number of steps is large, it may be determined that the user's fatigue is high. If the heart rate is high, it can be determined that the stress index is high.

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may adjust the concentration of oxygen included in the concentrated oxygen based on the user's physical condition or massage mode. For example, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may store an amount of concentrated oxygen corresponding to the massage mode or a concentration value of oxygen in the concentrated oxygen. The oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may provide the user with the amount of oxygen or the concentration of oxygen corresponding to the massage mode the user is receiving. Also, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may increase the amount of concentrated oxygen as the user's fatigue level increases and the stress level increases. In addition, the oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may increase the concentration of oxygen in the concentrated oxygen as the user's fatigue is high and the stress is high. Fatigue or stress index may have a proportional relationship with the amount of enriched oxygen or the concentration of enriched oxygen.

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may acquire the noise of the air supply unit 520 through a microphone. The oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may generate an anti-phase wave of noise. The oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may control the speaker to output the out-of-phase wave to cancel the noise of the air supply unit 520 . Therefore, the user can receive the massage in a comfortable state without feeling the noise generated by the air supply unit 520 .

The oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may detect a situation in which generation of oxygen is necessary or unnecessary. The oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may control to increase or decrease the generation of oxygen.

The sensor unit 310 may include a dust measuring sensor. The oxygen generation control unit 1510 or the control unit 300 may perform a step of measuring the concentration of fine dust or ultra-fine dust. When the concentration of fine dust or ultra-fine dust is greater than or equal to the reference value, the operation of the oxygen generator 530 may be performed. The reference value of the fine dust or ultra-fine dust concentration announced by the Ministry of Environment in accordance with environmental standards may be stored in advance in the memory 330 or may be updated from time to time from an external device through the communication unit 320 .
