The temperature can be high. In this case, the second side surface 322 of the thermoelectric element 320 has a cathode, and the air introduced into the second chamber 332 is cooled by the second side surface 322 of the thermoelectric element 320 to have a temperature. Can be lowered. Therefore, the air introduced into the first chamber 331 may have warm air, and the air introduced into the second chamber 332 may have cold air.

The temperature transfer member 340 helps to efficiently convert the temperature of the external air introduced into the thermoelectric element case 310. The temperature transfer member 340 may be disposed at both sides of the thermoelectric element 320. The temperature transfer member 340 may be disposed in each of the first chamber 331 and the second chamber 332 of the temperature conversion chamber 330.

The first outlet 410 according to an embodiment discharges air passing through the first side surface 321 of the thermoelectric element 320 described above, the second outlet 420 is a second of the thermoelectric element 320 The air passing through the side surface 322 may be discharged. Therefore, when the first side surface 321 of the thermoelectric element 320 is heated, the first outlet 410 may discharge high temperature air, and the second outlet 420 may discharge low temperature air. The opposite can also be true.

At this time, the first outlet 410 may discharge air to the user. Massage device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure to discharge the high temperature air to the first outlet 410 when the user wants to adjust the temperature to a high temperature, the user wants to adjust the temperature to a low temperature In this case, the temperature can be adjusted by discharging the low temperature air to the first outlet 410. The second outlet 420 may discharge air into the massage apparatus 1000 without discharging air to the user.

The first outlet 410 and the second outlet 420 may be arranged to face different directions so that air of different temperatures is not mixed. For example, the second outlet 420 may be disposed to form an obtuse angle with the first outlet 410.
