Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention proposes a compression circulation massage device which is a portable medical device worn on the body (10). Body 10 is set to target the calf for improving venous circulation disorders, but is not necessarily limited to these areas. The present invention aims to improve usability in daily life or travel based on the simplicity of carrying.

According to the present invention, the wearing means 20 has a structure in which the wearing band 21 and the compression band 22 are in close contact with the body 10. The wearing band 21 wraps around the desired part of the body as a whole and makes a somewhat elastic contact. Compression band 22 is in contact with the outer surface of the wearing band 21 is arranged at regular intervals. 1 and 4 illustrate a state in which four compression bands 22 are disposed on the wearing band 21. The compression band 22 uses a material having less elastic deformation than the wearing band 21.

On the other hand, the wear band 21 and the compression band 22, so that the sliding contact occurs, it is good to choose a good wear resistance material. In some cases, a Teflon resin layer may be added to the contact surface between the wearing band 21 and the pressing band 22.

As a detailed configuration of the present invention, the wearing band 21 and the pressing band 22 of the wearing means 20 is connected to one side and the other side of the casing 23, at least one end of the pressing band 22 is casing ( 23) is variably connected. The casing 23 is connected to and supported by the wearing means 20, and also serves to accommodate the driving means 30 and the control means 40 to be described later. The wearing band 21 and the pressing band 22 are simultaneously connected to one side and the other side of the casing 23, but the wearing band 21 is fixedly connected while the pressing band 22 is variably connected. The variable connection is an element that performs the massage function through the tension and relaxation of the wearing band 21. 1 and 2, the right end of the compression band 22 is illustrated in a fixed state and the left end in a variable state.

As a modification of the present invention, the wearing means 20 is installed on at least the inner surface of the wearing band 21 to absorb the shock acting on the body 10 and the size of the body 10, Correspondingly characterized by further comprising a removable portion 27 for adjusting the length of the wearing band 21 and the pressing band 22. The shock absorbing portion 25 is formed in a structure that can be attached to the gel pad, sponge, rubber, etc. selectively according to the physical condition or taste of the user, and also replaceable. Detachable portion 27 is convenient to wear the massage mechanism on the body and at the same time easy to disassemble when the overload takes place. In FIG. 2, the detachable portion 27 is illustrated as being formed on both sides of the

bands

21 and 22, but may be formed at one position or at a position adjacent to the casing 23.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 1, the driving means 30 and the control means 40 may be accommodated in one casing 23, and as shown in FIG. The means 40 may be housed separately. In either case, since the casing 23 does not exhibit a massage function, the casing 23 is worn so as to come to a site less related to venous circulation.

In addition, according to the present invention, the driving means 30 is connected to one side of the wearing means 20 to tension and relax the compression band 22. The process of the driving means 30 to relax and relax the compression band 22 means a repetitive movement pattern for implementing the basic motion of the massage. 1 and 2 illustrate a state in which the driving means 30 is connected to the left end of the compression band 22 to perform a variable movement.

As a detailed configuration of the present invention, the driving means 30 applies the driving force of the motor 33 to the rotation shaft 31 for supporting the wear band 21 to be wound, the rotation shaft 31 and the motor 33 The worm gear is connected between the) and the elastic body 38 is connected to the bidirectional rotation or the rotation shaft 31, and the one-way rotation is induced. The rotating shaft 31 is rotatably received on the casing 23, and the motor 33 is mounted to apply a driving force to the rotating shaft 31. 3 illustrates two embodiments incorporating drive means 30.

3 (a) shows a worm gear system in which a worm wheel 35 is connected to a rotation shaft 31 and a worm 36 is connected to a motor 33. This repeats the tension and relaxation of the compression band 22 in accordance with the driving of one direction and the other direction of the motor 33. 3 (b) shows a method of performing the return by the elastic body 38 while directly connecting the motor 33 to the rotation shaft 31 without the worm gear. This causes the compression band 22 to be tensioned when driving the motor 33 in one direction, and the elastic body 38 relaxes the compression band 22 at the same time as the motor 33 is turned off. According to the method of FIG. 3 (a), the state of the compression band 22 is maintained even when the motor 33 is off, while power for turning on and off the motor 33 is continuously consumed. According to the scheme of FIG. 3 (b), while the power is continuously consumed to maintain the state of the compression band 22, it is advantageous to implement the configuration of the light and thin components. Maintaining the state of the compression band 22 is one of the operations required in the massage process.

In addition, according to the present invention, the control means 40 controls the plurality of pressing bands 22 individually through the driving means 30. The control means 40 is a component for performing a massage for improving venous circulation disorder by driving a plurality of drive means 30 in a set algorithm. Of course, in addition to the set algorithm, the pressure band 22 may be controlled by manual selection to perform a massage function desired by the user.

As a detailed configuration of the present invention, the control means 40 is a controller 41 for performing a set algorithm, a sensor for detecting the operating state of the wearing band 21, a communication module for processing wired and wireless communication with the remote device 48 (44), a power supply section 46 formed of a rechargeable battery is provided. The controller 41 is composed of a microcomputer circuit having a microprocessor, a memory, and an input / output interface. At least one of the pressure sensor 42 and the position sensor 43 may be used as the sensor. The pressure sensor 42 is installed on the wearing band 21 or the compression band 22 to detect the massage pressure, and the position sensor 43 installs a hall sensor or an encoder on the motor 33 to provide the The angle of rotation is detected. The communication module 44 transmits and receives a control signal from a remote device 48 such as a remote controller and a mobile phone. In addition, the Bluetooth function enables the patient's treatment and other data management through the mobile phone app. The power supply unit 46 is accommodated on one side of the casing 23 to provide a power source for operation, and configured to be charged using an external power source.

In operation, the user usually disassembles the detachable portion 27 of the wearing band 21 and the compression band 22 and wears it on the calf, and tightens the detachable portion 27 to fit the user's physical condition to fix the length, and the controller By setting 41 to the automatic mode, a plurality of compression bands 22 perform massage while sequentially relaxing and relaxing. Of course, the tension, relaxation time, pressure, and the like of the compression band 22 are set in advance. The user may put the controller 41 in the manual mode and change the tension / relaxation pattern of the compression band 22 as necessary.

It is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments, and that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, such modifications or variations will have to belong to the claims of the present invention.
