Description

Massage combined with water pressure {Massager combined with fomenting device using water pressure}

The present invention relates to a poultice combined massage using water pressure.

Massage helps your body recover from fatigue and fatigue by stimulating blood vessels or reaction points by tapping the body with hands or special instruments to help blood and Q circulation and to smooth the functions of the body.

The massage may be performed by hand or in some cases, an electric massage device using various electric appliances may be used. The electric massage device is convenient because it is possible to perform massage alone while wearing the massage device without effort.

Most conventional massagers have an operating mechanism that uses air pressure. However, as is well known, since air has a large compressibility in physical properties as a gas, there is a limit that precision of pressing the massage part to a desired pressure and to a predetermined depth is inferior, so that massage efficiency is not high.

The present invention devised to solve the above problems, pressurizes the massage target area using water pressure, so that the pressure and depth of press can be precisely controlled, and of course, the massage can be performed with a stronger force, and water is also effective. The purpose of providing a combined poultice massager using a water pressure configured to be combined with the massage and heat treatment can be applied to heat the pressure at the same time by installing a heating means for heating the massage area.

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

Basically, the combination massage using the water pressure of the present invention includes a pumping part for generating water pressure, and a massage part for performing a massage by receiving the water pressure generated from the pumping part and being expanded or contracted while being worn on the massage target site. It is composed.

1 is a view showing to explain the overall configuration of the combined poultice massager using water pressure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the combination massage using the water pressure according to the present embodiment, the pumping unit 22 for spouting or sucking water at a predetermined pressure, and the water flowing through the pumping unit 22 passes through the agent 1,2,3 solenoid valves (28,32,36) and each of the solenoid valves (28,32,36) and the first 1,2,3 massage parts (26, which are tightly fixed to the massage target area of the body) 30, 34, and the controller 38 for controlling the solenoid valves (28, 32, 36) and the pumping unit (22).

The pumping part 22 pumps or sucks water at a predetermined pressure using the rotational torque of the motor 10 to expand and contract the first, second and third massage parts 26, 30, and 34. .

The pumping part 22 includes a motor 10 that is operated by external electricity, a rotating plate 12 that is fixed to the drive shaft 11 of the motor 10 and rotates, and one end of the rotating plate 12 is pinned. A connecting rod 14 to be coupled, a cylindrical cylinder 16 positioned horizontally on the side of the motor 10 and open at both ends to the outside, and provided in the cylinder 16 and water is accommodated therein. And bellows 20, and a piston 18 fixed to one end of the bellows 20 and stretching the bellows and pinning the other end of the connecting rod 14.

Both ends of the connecting rod 14 are pin-connected to the piston 18 and the rotating plate 12 to function as a connecting rod in an automobile engine. That is, a function of converting the rotational movement of the rotary plate 12 into a linear movement of the piston 18.

The piston 18 is guided and slides on the inner wall surface of the cylinder 16 in contact with the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 16. In addition, the piston 18 is coupled to one end of the bellows 20, the other end of the bellows 20 is fixed to the cylinder (16). Therefore, even if the piston 18 pushes the bellows 20, the bellows 20 does not push out from the cylinder 16, but the length of the bellows 20 does not move even if it is pulled out.

Eventually, according to the reciprocating motion of the piston 18, the bellows 20 may be compressed or stretched in the cylinder 16 to push out the water contained therein or to suck in the water that has been pushed outward. have.

Water discharged from the bellows 20 is moved to the first, second, and third solenoid valves 28, 32, and 36. In this case, a heating part 24 is provided between the bellows 20 and the first, second, and third solenoid valves 28, 32, and 36. The heating unit 24 may apply a known electric heater or a heating plate to heat the water flowing from the bellows 20 to the outside, it is preferable to apply a bimetal or the like to maintain a proper temperature.

Meanwhile, the first, second, third solenoid valves 28, 32, and 36 are connected to the bellows 20 through a connection pipe. The first, second, third solenoid valves 28, 32, and 36 are normally closed valves by springs, and are controlled by the controller 38. The three solenoid valves are provided because there are three massage parts 26, 30, and 34 to be described later. That is, each of the massage parts and the solenoid valves correspond one to one so that one massage part is connected to one solenoid valve.

The controller 38 controls the first, second, and third solenoid valves 28, 32, and 36 and also the motor 10. Basically, the controller 38 functions to open the solenoid valve while the bellows 20 contracts or expands so that water passes through the solenoid valve. The first, second, and third solenoid valves 28, 32, and 36 are independently controlled by the controller 38, respectively. Therefore, the selected solenoid valve can operate independently regardless of opening and closing of the next solenoid valve.

On the other hand, by applying a variety of opening and closing methods of the three solenoid valves (28, 32, 36) it is possible to more effectively perform the massage of the massage area. For example, the first solenoid valve 28, the second solenoid valve 32, and the third solenoid valve 36 may be opened and closed sequentially. Alternatively, the two selected solenoid valves may be opened and closed at the same time. Alternatively, three solenoid valves can be opened and closed at the same time. This can be easily solved by using a known control technique, and can be easily implemented by embedding the corresponding program in the controller.

In any case, the controller 38 has a basic function of opening the selected solenoid valve during the reciprocating movement of the piston 18. In addition, the controller 38 also controls the rotation speed of the motor 10. If the rotational speed of the motor 10 is changed, the number of opening and closing of the solenoid valve during the unit time will also vary, as well as increase the operation frequency of the massage part.

The first, second, and third massage parts 26, 30, and 34 connected to the first, second, and third solenoid valves 28, 32, and 36 are fixed to the massage parts of the body, and the number thereof is embodiments. It depends naturally. That is, according to the embodiment, the number of massage parts may be increased or reduced. Since the massage part is to press the massage target area, the number of massage parts can be massaged in a wider range as the number of massage parts increases, but in this embodiment, the number of massage parts has been given as three examples to help understanding.

The first, second, and third massage parts 26, 30, and 34 are connected to the first, second, and third solenoid valves 28, 32, and 36 through the fluid supply line 42, respectively. The fluid supply line 42 is supplied with water passing through the solenoid valves 28, 32, and 36 to the first, second, and third massage parts 26, 30, and 34, or vice versa. It is a passage through which the water supplied to the sections 26, 30, 34 moves to the solenoid valves 28, 32, 36.

As a result, the operation of the combined poultice massager using the water pressure according to the present embodiment is made as follows.

First, the bellows 20 is stretched as the piston 18 reciprocates in the cylinder 16 by driving the motor 10. When the bellows 20 is compressed, water contained in the bellows 20 is heated by the heating part 24 and flows through the connecting pipe 88 in the direction of arrow a to move toward the solenoid valve.

At the same time, the controller 38 sends an electric signal to the selected solenoid valve according to the set mode of use so that water passes through the solenoid valve. As described above, the water passing through the solenoid valve reaches the corresponding massage part through the fluid supply line 42 to provide water pressure to the massage part.

At this time, the bellows 20 is completely compressed by the piston 18. In addition, the pressurized state may be maintained for a desired time depending on the use example, or water may be immediately returned to the bellows.

Subsequently, when the piston 18 is pulled in the opposite direction, the bellows 20 is extended and the internal space is increased to suck in the water supplied as described above to be in the initial state.

As a result, the controller can perform the desired massage by selectively opening the solenoid valve in response to the operation mode while the bellows is repeatedly stretched and contracted.

Figure 2 is a partial perspective view showing an example of the massage part in the combination massage using the water pressure according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, the massage portion according to the present embodiment is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the support band 40. The support band 40 is a non-elastic band, for example, may be made of leather or fiber, and both ends are provided with Velcro tapes (52, 54 in FIG. 3). Therefore, the massage parts 26, 30, 34 are coupled to both ends of the support band 40 in a state of being in close contact with the massage area of the body to wear a massage device.

The massage part includes a first massage part 26, a second massage part 30, and a third massage part 34. Each of the massage parts 26, 30, 34 has three unit massage balls 92 in this example.

The unit massage sphere 92 is fixed to the inner surface of the support band 40 and has an inner space for receiving the water supplied from the bellows (20). That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the unit massage ball 92 is integrally formed with a rectangular bottom plate (90 of FIG. 3) fixedly coupled to the support band 40, and an edge portion of the bottom plate 90. Comprising a pleat wall 86 extending to the upper portion and the pressing plate 50 is provided integrally with the upper end of the pleat wall (86).

The bottom plate 90 has a predetermined thickness and is made of rubber, plastic, or synthetic resin of a flexible material. Therefore, in some cases, even when the support band 40 needs to be bent, the bottom plate 90 may maintain the state firmly coupled to the support band 40.

The corrugated wall 86 is a wall that can be stretched by forming a plurality of corrugations. This has the same shape and function as the corrugation in a conventional bellows, and provides room for the pressure plate 50 to lift relative to the bottom plate 90. In addition, the corrugated wall 86 may be made of rubber, synthetic resin, or plastic that can be stretched like the bottom plate 90.

On the other hand, in the harness 92, a hole 46 is formed in the corrugated wall 86 of the unit massage harness connected to the fluid supply line 42. The hole 46 is a screw hole, which is a screw thread formed outside. Therefore, the screw is connected to the fluid supply line 42 to maintain a firm coupling. The connecting portion of the hole 46 and the fluid supply line is applied with a known packing means (not shown) to prevent leakage of water.

In addition, the connection pipe (62 of FIG. 3) is provided between the unit massage sphere (92). The connection pipe 62 is a passage for connecting each of the unit massage spheres 92 is a passage for passing water from one unit massage sphere to another unit massage sphere. However, the connection pipe 62 is not provided between the massage parts 26, 30 and 34, so that the first, second and third massage parts can operate independently of each other.

As a result, the pressure plate 50 is spaced apart from the bottom plate 90 to provide an internal space therebetween, and as the water is filled or dropped into the internal space, the pressure plate 50 moves upward and presses the massage part or moves downward. The material of the pressure plate 50 is the same as the material of the bottom plate (90).

In addition, according to the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper surface of the pressure plate 50 may be embossed to be convex, but alternatively, it may be treated as a flat plane.

Each of the unit massage mechanisms 92 is provided with a lifting and lowering member (58 in FIG. 3) to be described later.

3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line III-III of FIG. 2.

Referring to the drawings, the lifting pressure member 58 is provided inside each of the unit massage balls. The elevating pressure member 58 is a member that rises upward by water pressure when water is supplied into the unit massage sphere 92 and is spaced apart from the bottom plate 90 by a separate support (not shown). have. The lifting and lowering member 58 may be made of non-stretchable plastic.

The normal standby position of the elevating pressure member (58) has a bottom surface higher than the position of the hole (46 of FIG. 2) or the connecting pipe (62 of FIG. 4), the pressing projection 60 to be described later is the pressure plate 50 It is better to place it in contact with the bottom of the

The lifting and lowering pressure member 58 takes the form of a square plate like the bottom plate 90 or the pressure plate 50, and a plurality of pressure protrusions 60 are formed. The pressing protrusion 60 has a shape in which the lifting and lowering pressure member 58 having a predetermined thickness is pressed from the bottom to the plastic deformation so that the rear surface of the pressing protrusion 60 is formed with a concave concave groove 94.

The concave groove 94 is concave to the vertical top to induce the pressure of the water introduced into the top. Accordingly, when water is pressurized from the outside and the lifting pressure member 58 moves upward, the pressing protrusion 60 provides a pressing force to the outside through the pressing plate 50. Since the pressure plate 50 is formed of a flexible material, the pressing force of the pressure protrusion 60 may be transmitted to the outside through the pressure plate 50.

Meanwhile, both ends of the support band 40 are provided with Velcro tapes 52 and 54. The Velcro tapes 52 and 54 are bonded to each other so that the support band 40 closely contacts the first, second and third massage parts 26, 30 and 34 to the massage target area. Depending on the embodiment it is also possible to apply other binding means in place of the Velcro tape.

4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IV-IV of FIG. 2.

The same reference numerals as the above reference numerals denote the same members having the same function.

As shown, the unit massage balls 92 are communicated with each other by the connecting pipe 62. The connecting tube 62 may be provided as a connecting tube penetrating each of the corrugated wall 86 in a removable wall or may be integrally formed according to the embodiment.

On the other hand, the combination massage using the water pressure according to the present invention can provide the optimum massage efficiency by modifying the shape of the unit massage portion to correspond to the shape of the massage area of the body. That is, when the massage target area is the waist, the massage part is formed to conform to the shape of the waist, and in the case of the sole, the massage part is formed to conform to the shape of the sole.

5 and 6a and 6b is a view for explaining an example of applying a massage device for the massage of the foot according to the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the massage portion 66 is formed to correspond to the shape of the sole and is provided with a projection pallet 80 on which a plurality of projections 76 are formed. The protrusion pallet 80 is a pallet in which a plurality of protrusions 76 are formed and takes the form of an insole of a shoe.

The massage part 66 is fixed to the inner side of the support band 70. The support band 70 extends to both sides of the massage portion 66, and a plurality of protrusions 77 are formed on the inner surface of the extended portion. The extended support band 70 is a portion surrounding the instep and heel. To this end, both sides of the support band 70 are provided with Velcro tapes 72, 73, 74, and 75 that are coupled to each other.

Therefore, when the Velcro tapes 74 and 75 are mutually coupled to each other by overlapping the instep with the support bands 70 on both sides, the sole is pressed by the protrusions 76 of the protrusion pallet 80, and at the same time, the instep It waits in the state which was pressed by the negative projection 77.

In this state, when the water is pressed into the massage part 66 through the fluid supply line 42, the massage part 66 expands in the thickness direction, tightens the sole and the foot, and performs massage. In the present embodiment, only one massage part 66 is applied, but when a plurality of massage parts are applied, the massage may be performed for each part of the sole.

Referring to Figure 6a, it can be seen that the support bands 70 on both sides are pulled upward and fixed to each other by the Velcro tapes 74 and 75. The massage part 66 is connected to the fluid supply line 42 to drive the mechanism as described in FIG. 1, and its internal configuration is the same as that of the unit massage device of FIG. 3.

6B is a view showing a state in which the Velcro tapes 72 and 73 provided on the heel portion of the support band 70 are coupled to each other.

As shown, it can be seen that the Velcro tapes 72 and 73 are coupled to each other so that the support band 70 may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the heel, so that the protrusion 77 may stimulate the heel portion.

The present invention has been described in detail through specific embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications may be made by those having ordinary knowledge within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. .

Combined massage using the water pressure of the present invention made as described above, pressurize the massage target area by using the water pressure can precisely control the pressing force and pressure depth, as well as to massage with a stronger force is as effective. . In addition, by installing a heating means for heating the water can be applied to the massage area and at the same time the heat can be applied to the massage and heat treatment can be combined.
