Ultimately, the lower leg massage units (2000ab, 2000bb) may move closer to or away from the upper leg massage units (2000aa, 2000ba) as the lead screws (2510a, 2510b) rotate, so that the upper leg massage units (2000aa, 2000ba) and The distance of the lower leg massage units 2000ab and 2000bb may be adjusted, and ultimately the length of the first and second leg massage units 2000a and 2000b may be adjusted.

Referring to FIG. 17, guide rails 2211a and 2211b may be formed inside the leg frames 2210a and 2210b. In addition, the first and second leg massage units (2000a, 2000b) include guide rollers (2540a, 2540b) moving along the guide rails (2211a, 2211b) and guide bars (2530a, 2530b) supporting the guide rollers (2540a, 2540b) ) may include. At this time, one end of the guide bars 2530a and 2530b may be connected to the lower leg massage units 2000ab and 2000bb. Accordingly, as the lead screws 2510a and 2510b rotate, the guide bars 2530a and 2530b and the guide wheels 2540a and 2540b may move in the same direction as the lower leg massage units 2000ab and 2000bb.

Meanwhile, the guide rollers 2540a and 2540b can move along the guide rails 2211a and 2211b. Accordingly, the guide rollers 2540a and 2540b can guide the lower leg massage units 2000ab and 2000bb to move in an appropriate direction. Accordingly, while the lower leg massage units 2000ab and 2000bb move, the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b on both sides may not shake.

Meanwhile, the guide rails 2211a and 2211b may be formed on an inner portion of the leg frame 2210. Referring to FIG. 17, the guide rails 2211a and 2211b are formed only on a portion of the inside of the leg frame 2210, and a ledge is formed on the remaining portion, which can block the movement of the guide rollers 2540a and 2540b. As a result, it is possible to block the lower leg massage units (2000ab, 2000bb) from moving beyond the limit point, and prevent the problem of the lower leg massage units (2000ab, 2000bb) completely leaving the upper leg massage units (2000aa, 2000ba). can do.

Meanwhile, in order to more appropriately guide the movement of the guide bars (2530a, 2530b), the leg massage unit 2000 includes guide wheels (2551a, 2551b) and guide wheel brackets that accommodate and support the guide wheels (2551a, 2551b).

FIG. 20 is a diagram showing a sensor of a leg massage unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 21 is an enlarged view of D of FIG. 20.

Referring to FIGS. 20 and 21 , the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b may further include a measurement sensor unit for measuring the user's leg length. For example, the measurement sensor unit may include at least one measurement sensor among a first measurement sensor and a second measurement sensor. The first leg massage unit 2000a may include a first measurement sensor that measures the length of one leg, and the second leg massage unit 2000b may include a second measurement sensor that measures the length of the other leg.

Preferably, each measurement sensor uses at least one sensor (or sub-measurement sensor) among the first sensor (or first sub-measurement sensor) and the second sensor (or second sub-measurement sensor) to measure the user's leg length. It can be included.

The first sensor may be a capacitive touch sensor. The first sensor may be used to roughly measure the user's leg length. Accordingly, the user's leg length can be measured through the first sensor, and the length of the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b can be adjusted to correspond.

The first sensor may recognize that the user's body is in contact and measure the leg length. Accordingly, the first sensor can measure the length of the user's legs depending on whether the user's body is in contact, and based on this, the massage device 100 can adjust the length of the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b, and the precision is Although it may fall, the length of the leg massage parts 2000a and 2000b can be quickly and roughly adjusted.

The second sensor may be a photo sensor (PS) or a load sensor. The second sensor may be used to precisely measure the user's leg length. Accordingly, the massage device 100 roughly measures the user's leg length using the first sensor, adjusts the length of the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b to correspond, and then uses the second sensor to measure the user's leg length. The leg length can be precisely measured, and the length of the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b can be adjusted to correspond.

As an example, the second sensor may be a photo sensor (PS). Preferably, it may be a mechanical photo sensor. In this way, when using the photo sensor (PS), as described above, the user's leg length can be measured more precisely than when only the first sensor is used. In addition, photo sensors (PS) are provided on both leg massage parts, making it possible to precisely measure the length of both legs of the user.

For example, the photo sensor PS may be located below the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b. Accordingly, the photo sensor (PS) can measure the user's leg length more precisely. That is, referring to FIG. 21, when movement of the leg massage parts 2000a and 2000b occurs, which are located on the lower sides of the leg massage parts 2000a and 2000b on both sides of the photo sensor PS, the movement causes the disk The member rotates, and by measuring the degree of light reception that changes due to the rotation of the disk member, it is possible to precisely measure the user's leg length.

However, it is not limited to this, and of course, the user's leg length can be measured by using a different type of photo sensor (PS) or by the principle on which the existing photo sensor (PS) operates.

As another example, the second sensor may measure leg length by measuring the load applied by the user's legs.

For example, the control unit 1400 of the massage device 100 adjusts the distance between the upper leg massage units 2000aa and 2000ba and the lower leg massage units 2000ab and 2000bb while detecting a load of a preset size on the second sensor. The length of the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b at the point of application may be recognized as the user's leg length. Accordingly, the massage device 100 finely adjusts the distance between the upper leg massage units 2000aa and 2000ba and the lower leg massage units 2000ab and 2000bb when a preset load of a certain size is applied to the second sensor. The distance between the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b at that time can be recognized as the user's leg length, and in this case, the length of the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b can be adjusted to correspond to the user's leg length.

Meanwhile, the first sensor and the second sensor may be located on the lower surfaces of the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b. Preferably, it may be provided in a position corresponding to the sole of the user's foot. Therefore, the user's leg length can be precisely measured according to changes in the length of the leg massage units 2000a and 2000b.

Below, the operation method of the above-described massage device 100 will be described in detail.

The method of operating the massage device 100 according to the present invention includes receiving a user input, recognizing physical information about at least a part of the user's body, adjusting the massage device based on the body information, and It may include providing a massage to the user using an adjusted massage device.

FIG. 22 shows an example for explaining an exercise mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 23 shows an example for explaining a reclining operation according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The massage device 1000 may provide an exercise mode for exercising the user's body. At this time, the exercise mode may be a mode for exercising the user's legs.

The control unit 1400 may execute or automatically execute the exercise mode based on the user's response. At this time, the user's response may be a response (or signal) for executing the exercise mode.

For example, the controller 1400 may provide an exercise mode to the user by controlling the operation of the massage device 1000 according to a massage map for the exercise mode. At this time. Massage maps may be preset from various objects and stored in the memory 1430. The object may be diverse, such as a user using the massage device, an administrator, and/or employees and doctors of various companies such as manufacturers, sellers, distributors, and developers of the massage device. The operation of the massage device 1000 includes various configurations of the massage device 1000, such as at least one of the massage module 1110, the body massage unit 1100, the arm massage unit 1200, and the leg massage unit 2000. It can be an action on an element.

Specifically, the control unit 1400 reclines the massage device 1000 as shown in FIG. 23 (S2210), and while the massage device 1000 is reclined, the massage device 1000 moves the massage device 1000 according to the massage map for the exercise mode. An exercise mode can be provided to the user by controlling the operation of (S2230).

First, the control unit 1400 controls the back angle actuator to tilt the body massage unit 1100 toward the rear of the massage device 1000 and tilts (or rotates) each leg massage unit toward the top of the massage device 1000, thereby performing massage. The device 1000 can be reclined. The reclined massage device 1000 may be in a state in which the body massage unit 1100 is tilted toward the rear of the massage device 1000 and the leg massage unit 2000 is rotated toward the top of the massage device 1000. .

For example, the control unit 1400 tilts the body massage unit 1100 toward the rear of the body massage unit 1100 (or tilts it) based on a preset angle and tilts the leg massage unit 2000 upward. The angle of the leg massage unit 2000 can be adjusted. At this time, the preset angle is an angle for adjusting the angle of the body massage unit 1100 and the angle of each leg massage unit, and may be preset by various objects and stored in the memory 1430.

The control unit 1400 may adjust the length of each leg massage unit based on the length of each leg while tilting each leg massage unit (or after tilting the leg massage unit). At this time, the control unit 1400 can measure the length of each leg. Since the length adjustment operation of each leg massage unit and the operation of measuring the length of each leg are the same as described above, detailed descriptions will be omitted.

Thereafter, the control unit 1400 may provide an exercise mode to the user by controlling the operation of the massage device 1000 according to the massage map for the exercise mode while the massage device 1000 is reclining (S2830).

In other words, the control unit 1400 may provide an exercise mode to the user while the massage device 1000 is in a reclining state.

As described above, the control unit 1400 provides an exercise mode to the user while the massage device 1000 is reclining, but is not limited to this.

For example, the controller 1400 may control the operation of the massage device 1000 in a reclining state to provide a relaxation massage that relaxes the user's body and then provide an exercise mode. At this time, the control unit 1400 may simultaneously perform the operation of providing a relaxation massage and the operation of measuring the length of each leg.

The relaxation massage may be a massage according to a preset massage intensity and speed. For example, the relaxation massage may be provided at an average massage intensity and average massage speed among the massage intensities and speeds that the massage device 1000 can provide, or may be provided at the lowest massage intensity and lowest massage speed, but is not limited thereto.

Through this, the control unit 1400 can relax the user's body before providing the exercise mode to prevent injuries due to the exercise mode and increase the exercise effect.

As described above, the control unit 1400 reclines the massage device 1000, provides a relaxation massage, and then provides an exercise mode to the user, but is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 1400 may provide an exercise mode while performing at least one of an operation of reclining the massage device 1000 and an operation of providing a relaxation massage.

The third body air cell 1650 is disposed in an area corresponding to the user's perineum (for example, the front center area of the body massage unit 1000) among the entire area between one side and the other side of the body massage unit 1000 to control the user's health. You can massage the perineum. At this time, the perineum air cell, which is the third body air cell 1650, can massage the user's body by pressing/lifting the user's perineum in the upward direction of the body massage unit 1000.

Additionally, the leg massage unit 2000 may include leg air cells 1700 that massage the user's legs.

For example, the leg air cell 1700 includes a first leg air cell 1710 corresponding to the first leg massage unit 2000a (or one leg of the user), and a second leg massage unit 2000b (or the other leg of the user). It may include a second leg air cell 1730 corresponding to. At this time, each leg air cell (1710, 1730) can expand and contract to massage the user's leg.

Specifically, the first leg massage unit 2000a may include a first leg air cell 1710 disposed in at least a partial area of the first leg massage unit 2000a. The second leg massage unit 2000b may include a second leg air cell 1730 disposed in at least a partial area of the second leg massage unit 2000b.

Each leg air cell (1710, 1730) may include at least one air cell from a calf air cell disposed at a position corresponding to the user's calf and a foot air cell disposed at a position corresponding to the user's foot.

The second calf air cell 1731 may include at least one of the third sub-calf air cell 1731a and the fourth sub-calf air cell 1731b. Since the third sub-calf air cell 1731a is the same as applying the first sub-calf air cell 1711a to the second leg massage unit 2000b, detailed description will be omitted. Since the fourth sub-calf air cell 1731b is the same as applying the second sub-calf air cell 1711b to the second leg massage unit 2000b, detailed description will be omitted.

The first foot air cell 1713 is disposed in an area corresponding to the foot of one leg of the user among the entire area of the second leg massage unit 2000a (for example, the lower area of the first leg massage unit 2000a) The user's feet can be massaged.

For example, the first foot air cell 1713 may include at least one of the first sub foot air cell 1713a and the second sub foot air cell 1713b. The first sub-foot air cell 1713a may be disposed in an area corresponding to the side of the foot (or the top of the foot) of one leg and massage (or pressurize) the side of the foot (or the top of the foot). The second sub-foot air cell 1713b is disposed in an area corresponding to the rear of the foot (or heel, Achilles tendon) of one leg and can massage (or pressurize) the rear of the foot (or heel, Achilles tendon). At this time, the first sub-foot air cell 1713a can massage (or fix) the user's foot by pressing both sides of the foot of one leg.

The second foot air cell 1733 may include at least one of the third sub foot air cell 1733a and the fourth sub foot air cell 1733b. Since the third sub-foot air cell 1733a is the same as applying the first sub-foot air cell 1713a to the second leg massage unit 2000b, detailed description will be omitted. Since the fourth sub-foot air cell 1733b is the same as applying the second sub-foot air cell 1713b to the second leg massage unit 2000b, detailed description will be omitted.

Additionally, the arm massage unit 1200 may include arm air cells that massage the user's arms.

For example, the arm air cell is a first arm air cell corresponding to the first arm massage unit 1210 (or one arm of the user), and a second arm air cell corresponding to the second arm massage unit 1230 (or the other arm of the user). May include air cells.

The first arm air cell may massage one arm of the user, and the second arm air cell may massage the other arm of the user.

Figure 25 shows a flowchart for explaining an exercise mode according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The controller 1400 may provide an exercise mode to the user by controlling the operation of the massage device 1000 based on a massage map for the exercise mode (or rehabilitation mode, cycle mode, or bicycle mode).

The exercise mode may include a leg exercise action (or bicycle action) in which the user exercises the user's legs by crossing and pushing both legs, similar to riding a cycle (or bicycle).

First, the control unit 1400 may recline the massage device 1000 (S2510). Since the S3310 operation is the same as the above-described S2210 operation, detailed description will be omitted.

Thereafter, the control unit 1400 controls the first and second leg massage units 2000a and 2000b while the massage device 1000 is reclined to exercise the user's legs in an operation similar to that of the user riding a bicycle. Exercise movements can be performed (S2530). At this time, the control unit 1400 may control each leg massage unit 2000a and 2000b through at least one of the leg length adjustment module 2500 and the leg angle adjustment module 1350.

For example, the control unit 1400 may control the first length of the first leg massage unit 2000a, the first angle of the first leg massage unit 2000a, the second length of the second leg massage unit 2000b, and the first angle of the first leg massage unit 2000a. A cycle motion can be performed by controlling at least one of the second angles of the two-leg massage unit 2000b. At this time, the control unit 1400 may adjust each of the first and second lengths and the first and second angles and simultaneously expand the leg air cells of each leg massage unit.

Through this, the massage device 1000 can prevent injuries that may occur in the user's legs and improve or maintain the user's physical health by exercising the muscles around the user's legs and pelvis through leg exercise movements.

The massage device 1000 recognizes the movement of the hip and knee joints through leg exercise movements and improves the mobility of the joints, which occurs when the muscles around the hip and knee joints harden due to bad sitting habits and decreased mobility of the hip and knee joints. It can relieve pain and correct incorrect gait. Bad sitting habits can mean sitting incorrectly for long periods of time.

In other words, the exercise mode may be a mode used by a user with normal legs to exercise the user's legs, or a mode used by a user with abnormal legs due to a leg injury or the like to rehabilitate the user's legs.

FIG. 26 shows a flowchart for explaining the leg exercise shown in FIG. 25.

The leg exercise action may include at least one leg exercise action among a first leg exercise action, a second leg exercise action, a third leg exercise action, and a fourth leg exercise action. The first and third leg exercise actions may be an action of pulling one of the user's two legs and pushing the other leg. The second and fourth leg exercise actions may be actions of lifting one of the user's two legs and lowering the other leg.

The control unit 1400 performs the first leg exercise operation (S2531), the second leg exercise operation (S2533), the third leg exercise operation (S2535), and then performs the fourth leg exercise operation. (S2537). At this time, the controller 1400 may sequentially and repeatedly perform the first to fourth leg exercise movements. Specifically, the controller 1400 may repeatedly perform the first to fourth leg exercise movements based on a preset number of repetitions. The number of repetitions may be preset from various objects and stored in the memory 1430.

As described above, the controller 1400 sequentially performs the first to fourth leg exercise operations, but is not limited to this.

For example, the controller 1400 may perform first and third leg exercise operations (or adjust first and second lengths), and second and fourth leg exercise actions (or adjust first and second angles). operation) can be defined as one cycle (or cycle operation). When one cycle is defined, the control unit 1400 can repeatedly perform the cycle.

Specifically, the controller 1400 may define one of the first and third leg exercise operations and one of the second and fourth leg exercise operations as the first cycle. The controller 1400 may define the remaining leg exercise actions among the first and third leg exercise actions and the remaining leg exercise actions among the second and fourth leg exercise actions as the second cycle. The control unit 1400 may repeatedly perform the defined first and second cycles. At this time, the control unit 1400 may perform the first cycle first and then perform the second cycle, or perform the second cycle first and then perform the first cycle later.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, it will be assumed that the control unit 1400 sequentially performs the first to fourth leg exercise movements.

FIG. 27 is a diagram for explaining the exercise movements of each leg shown in FIG. 26.

The controller 1400 may perform a first leg exercise movement, such as Motion A, by pulling and pushing the user's legs while the massage device 1000 is in a reclined state (Motion B).

For example, the controller 1400 may exercise the user's legs by performing a first leg exercise operation of pulling one leg of the user and pushing the other leg through each leg massage unit.

Specifically, the control unit 1400 increases the first length of the first leg massage unit 2000a and simultaneously adjusts the second leg massage unit 2000b through the first and second leg length adjustment modules 2500a and 2500b. By reducing the second length, the first length of the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second length of the second leg massage unit 2000b can be adjusted.

After performing the Motion B motion, the controller 1400 may perform a second leg exercise motion that lifts and lowers the user's leg (Motion C).

For example, the control unit 1400 may exercise the user's legs by performing a second leg exercise operation of lowering one leg of the user and lifting the other leg through each leg massage unit.

Specifically, the control unit 1400 tilts the first leg massage unit 2000a downward and simultaneously tilts the second leg massage unit 2000b upward through the first and second leg angle adjustment modules 1350a and 1350b. The first angle of the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second angle of the second leg massage unit 2000b can be adjusted.

After performing Motion C, the controller 1400 may perform a third leg exercise that pulls and pushes the user's leg (Motion D).

For example, the controller 1400 may exercise the user's legs by performing a third leg exercise operation of pushing one leg of the user and pulling the other leg through each leg massage unit.

Specifically, the control unit 1400 reduces the first length increased in Motion B through the first and second leg length adjustment modules 2500a and 2500b, and simultaneously increases the second length decreased in Motion B to increase the first length. The first length of the leg massage unit 2000a and the second length of the second leg massage unit 2000b may be readjusted. In other words, the control unit 1400 may decrease the increased first length and increase the decreased second length at the same time.

After performing the Motion D motion, the controller 1400 may perform the fourth leg exercise motion of lifting and lowering the user's leg (Motion E).

For example, the control unit 1400 may exercise the user's legs by performing a fourth leg exercise operation that lifts one leg of the user and lowers the other leg through each leg massage unit.

Specifically, the control unit 1400 tilts the downwardly tilted first leg massage unit 2000a upward through the first and second leg angle adjustment modules 1350a and 1350b and simultaneously tilts the upwardly tilted second leg massage unit ( By tilting 2000b) downward, the first angle of the first leg massage unit 2000a and the second angle of the second leg massage unit 2000b can be readjusted.

Through this, the control unit 1400 can exercise both legs of the user in a balanced manner.

Hereinafter, the length adjustment operation for each length and the angle adjustment operation for each angle will be described in detail.

The control unit 1400 can control each leg massage unit based on the length of each leg of the user, thereby adjusting each length and each angle.

For example, the controller 1400 may determine a length adjustment value for adjusting each length and an angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle based on the length of each leg.

The control unit 1400 controls the first and second leg length adjustment modules 2500a and 2500b and the first and second leg angle adjustment modules 1350a and 1350b based on the length adjustment value and the angle adjustment value, thereby controlling each The length and angle can be adjusted.

The length adjustment value and angle adjustment value may be determined to be larger as the length of each leg is longer. When the length of each leg is different, the length adjustment value for adjusting the first length and the length adjustment value for adjusting the second length are different from each other, and the angle adjustment value for adjusting the first angle and the length adjustment value for adjusting the second angle are different from each other. The angle adjustment values for may be different from each other.

Specifically, the method for determining the length and angle adjustment values described above may be as follows.

For example, a leg length table and a leg angle table may be stored in the memory 1430.

The leg length table may include a plurality of arbitrary leg lengths and a length adjustment value matched to each arbitrary leg length. The leg angle table may include a plurality of arbitrary leg lengths and an angle adjustment value matched to each arbitrary leg length. The leg length table and the leg angle table may be preset by various objects and stored in the memory 1430.

The control unit 1400 may obtain an arbitrary leg length corresponding to each leg length among a plurality of arbitrary leg lengths in the leg length table and the leg angle table. At this time, the arbitrary leg length obtained may be the same or similar to each leg length.

The control unit 1400 extracts the length adjustment value and angle adjustment value matched to the arbitrary leg length obtained, and adjusts the length adjustment value and each angle for adjusting each length using the extracted length adjustment value and the extracted angle adjustment value. It can be determined by the angle adjustment value for

For example, the length adjustment value matched to any leg length in the leg length table may be a plurality of length adjustment values.

The control unit 1400 may extract a plurality of length adjustment values corresponding to each leg length from the leg length table.

The plurality of length adjustment values may include a maximum length adjustment value for adjusting each length to the maximum, a minimum length adjustment value for adjusting each length to the minimum, and an intermediate length adjustment value between the maximum length adjustment value and the minimum length adjustment value. there is. The intermediate length adjustment value may be the average of the maximum and minimum length adjustment values or a value between the maximum and minimum length adjustment values.

The control unit 1400 may determine at least one length adjustment value among the plurality of extracted length adjustment values as a length adjustment value for adjusting each length.

In other words, the length adjustment value for adjusting each length may be determined as at least one of the maximum, minimum, and intermediate length adjustment values.

The angle adjustment value matched to any leg length in the leg angle table may be a plurality of angle adjustment values.

The control unit 1400 may extract a plurality of angle adjustment values corresponding to each leg length from the leg angle table.

The plurality of angle adjustment values may include a maximum angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle to the maximum, a minimum angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle to the minimum, and an intermediate angle adjustment value between the maximum angle adjustment value and the minimum angle adjustment value. there is. The intermediate angle adjustment value may be the average of the maximum and minimum angle adjustment values, or may be a value between the maximum and minimum angle adjustment values.

The control unit 1400 may determine at least one angle adjustment value among the plurality of extracted angle adjustment values as an angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle.

In other words, the angle adjustment value for adjusting each angle may be determined as at least one angle adjustment value among the maximum, minimum, and intermediate angle adjustment values.

As described in FIG. 26 , when repeating a defined cycle, the control unit 1400 may change the length adjustment value and angle adjustment value for each preset number of repetitions of the cycle.

If the length adjustment value is one of the maximum, minimum, and middle length adjustment values, the control unit 1400 sets the length adjustment value to a length that is different from any one of the maximum, minimum, and middle length adjustment values. It can be changed by adjusting the value.

If the angle adjustment value is one of the maximum, minimum, and intermediate angle adjustment values, the control unit 1400 adjusts the angle adjustment value to an angle that is different from any one of the maximum, minimum, and intermediate angle adjustment values. It can be changed by value.

The control unit 1400 inflates the first leg air cell 1710 in an uninflated state before, simultaneously with, or while increasing the first length, as in Motion B, so that the user can The first length can be adjusted while fixing one leg of the. At this time, the controller 1400 may expand at least one air cell among the first calf air cell 1711 and the first foot air cell 1713. In other words, the controller 1400 may expand only the first leg air cell 1710 before, simultaneously with, or while increasing the first length.

Preferably, the control unit 1400 can inflate only the first foot air cell 1713 while the first calf air cell 1711 is uninflated, but is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 1400 pre-inflates the first foot air cell 1713 and then later inflates the first calf air cell 1711, or simultaneously inflates the first calf air cell 1711 and the first foot air cell 1713. Each air cell can be inflated in various combinations, such as by inflating it.

The control unit 1400 expands the second leg air cell 1730 in an uninflated state before, simultaneously with, or while increasing the reduced second length as in Motion D. The second length can be adjusted while fixing the user's other leg. At this time, the controller 1400 may expand at least one air cell among the second calf air cell 1731 and the second foot air cell 1733. In other words, the controller 1400 may only expand the second leg air cell 1730 before, simultaneously with, or while increasing the second length.

Preferably, the control unit 1400 can inflate only the second foot air cell 1733 while the second calf air cell 1731 is uninflated, but is not limited to this. For example, the control unit 1400 pre-inflates the second foot air cell 1733 and then later inflates the second calf air cell 1731, or simultaneously inflates the second calf air cell 1731 and the second foot air cell 1733. Each air cell can be inflated in various combinations, such as by inflating it.

Through this, the control unit 1400 can accurately exercise the user's leg by accurately pulling the user's leg when increasing each length. Since the control unit 1400 expands only the leg air cells corresponding to the leg massage unit being increased, unnecessary waste of power on the air cells can be prevented.

The control unit 1400 may drive at least one of the first and second foot massage units 2610 and 2630 while each length and angle are adjusted. For example, the control unit 1400 may alternately drive the first and second foot massage units 2610 and 2630 to alternately provide a foot massage to both feet of the user.

Through this, the control unit 1400 massages the user's feet through cross-driving the first and second foot massage units 2610 and 2630 to provide leg exercise guidance, thereby providing psychological relief to the user and relieving the user's tension. It can prevent user's leg injuries and improve exercise effectiveness.

The control unit 1400 can adjust each length and at the same time expand the back air cells of the leg massage part whose length increases. For example, the controller 1400 expands the first air cell 1613 when the first length increases, such as Motion B, and expands the second air cell 1633 when the second length increases, such as Motion D. ) can be expanded.

Through this, the control unit 1400 links each length adjustment operation and the back air cell expansion operation to pull the user's legs further than when the back air cells are not inflated, thereby improving the effect of the user's leg exercise.

As described above, the length adjustment operation for each length and the angle adjustment operation for each angle are performed independently of each other, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the control unit may initiate a length adjustment operation for each length and, after a certain time has elapsed, perform an angle adjustment operation for each angle along with the length adjustment operation.

When the control unit 1400 initiates each length adjustment operation and performs each angle adjustment operation after a certain period of time, the control unit 1400 controls the leg massage unit whose length decreases while only performing each length adjustment operation. The corresponding arm air cell can be inflated. For example, the controller 1400 may inflate the second arm air cell when the second length decreases, such as in Motion B, and inflate the first arm air cell when the first length decreases, such as in Motion D. .

Through this, the control unit 1400 links each length adjustment operation and the arm air cell expansion operation to pull the user's leg more safely when the arm air cell is not inflated, thereby improving the effect of the user's leg exercise.

The control unit 1400 may contract the back air cells and arm air cells that are inflated during each length adjustment operation while simultaneously performing each length adjustment operation and each angle adjustment operation.

Additionally, the control unit 1400 may provide a massage to the user through the massage module 1110 while each leg exercise operation is performed. For example, the control unit 1400 may provide at least one of acupressure massage, kneading massage, tapping massage, and combined massage to at least a portion of the user's upper and lower body through the massage module 1110. A complex massage may be a massage that combines two or more of acupressure massage, kneading massage, and tapping massage.

Through this, the control unit 1400 assists the user's leg exercise by exercising the user's leg and massaging the user's body parts at the same time, thereby relaxing the user's body compared to the case where the massage is not provided, thereby preventing leg injuries that occur during exercise. can be effectively prevented.

In the above, the technical idea of the present invention has been described along with the accompanying drawings, but this is an exemplary description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention. In addition, it is clear that anyone skilled in the art of the present invention can make various modifications and imitations without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

Additionally, the configuration and functions of the massage device of this specification can be expanded and applied to various (wearable) healthcare devices that can provide healthcare functions (eg, massage/massage function, bio-signal measurement function, etc.).
