As described above, the body massage unit 1000 may provide a tapping massage, a kneading massage, and the like to the user's body while the massage module 1700 moves along the user's body.

The arm massage unit 3000 may provide a massage to the user's arm. A space in which the user's arm can be accommodated may be provided in the arm massage unit 3000 . Accordingly, the user may receive a massage from the arm massage unit 3000 while the arm is inserted into the arm massage unit 3000 .

The arm massage unit 3000 may provide a tapping massage or kneading massage to the user's arm.

As an embodiment, the massage device 100 may include a hand holder 4000. The hand holder 4000 may provide light therapy to the user's hand in a state where the user's hand is placed. In addition, the hand holding unit 4000 may acquire various biometric information from the user's hand in a state where the user's hand is held.

As an embodiment, the hand holding unit 4000 may be disposed inside the arm massage unit 3000. The hand holder 4000 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the user's hand in the inner space of the arm massage unit 3000. For example, the hand holder 4000 may be disposed at a position where the user's hand is placed when the user inserts the arm into the arm massage unit 3000 .

As an optional embodiment, the hand holder 4000 may be movable. For example, the position of the hand holder 4000 may be moved to correspond to the position of the user's hand inside the arm massage unit 3000 . That is, since each user using the massage device 100 has a different body shape and may have a different arm length, the hand holder 4000 determines the position of the user's hand when the user inserts the arm into the arm massage unit 3000. It can be moved to correspond to .

As a specific embodiment, the sensor unit 1800 detects the position of the user's hand when the user's arm is inserted into the arm massage unit 3000, and the controller 1200 determines the position of the hand holder 4000 based on this. may be moved to a position corresponding to the position of the user's hand.

6 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of the arm massage unit 3000 in a state in which the air cell 3200 is contracted, and FIG. 7 is an example of the arm massage unit 3000 in a state in which the air cell 3200 is inflated. , and FIG. 9 is a view for explaining the positions of the hand holder 4000 and the air cell 3200.

6, 7 and 9, the massage device 100 is disposed inside the arm massage unit 3000 so as to surround the user's arm from the top and bottom, and is not disposed at a position corresponding to the user's palm. An air cell 3200 may be included.

The air cell 3200 may expand by receiving air from the aforementioned air supply unit. Alternatively, the air cell 3200 may contract again when air leaks out.

After the user's arm is inserted, the air cell 3200 receives air from the air supply unit and inflates, thereby fixing the user's hand and arm. That is, the air cell 3200 can stably receive a massage by fixing the user's hand and arm while being in contact with the user's hand and arm while receiving the massage.

As an example, the air cell 3200 may include a first upper air cell 3210 , a second upper air cell 3220 , and a lower air cell 3230 .

Specifically, the first upper air cell 3210 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the user's hand, and may cover the user's hand when inflated.

In addition, the second upper air cell 3220 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the upper side of the user's forearm, and may cover the upper side of the user's forearm when inflated.

Also, the lower air cell 3230 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the lower side of the user's forearm, and may cover the lower side of the user's forearm when inflated.

In addition, after the user's arm is inserted into the arm massage unit 3000, the second upper air cell 3220 and the lower air cell 3230 may each inflate to fix the user's arm, that is, the forearm.

In addition, since the air cell 3200 is not disposed at a location corresponding to the user's palm, the air cell 3200 is only disposed at a location corresponding to the back of the user's hand, upper side of the forearm, and lower side of the forearm. When viewed from above, the hand holder 4000 may be exposed to the outside without being covered by the air cell 3200 .

Meanwhile, the user's arm becomes thinner as it goes toward the hand. Also, the user's hand is thinner than the arm.

Therefore, as described above, the air cell 3200 is not disposed at the position corresponding to the user's palm, and the hand holder 4000 is disposed at the position corresponding to the user's palm. Arms can be comfortably fixed.

As an example, the air cell 3200 disposed above the user's arm may be formed to have a longer length than the air cell 3200 disposed below the user's arm.

For example, the sum of the lengths of the first upper air cell 3210 and the second upper air cell 3220 may be longer than the length of the lower air cell 3230 . Therefore, based on FIG. 9 , the lower air cell 3230 may be disposed to be biased to the right compared to the upper air cell 3200, and an empty space may be provided on the left side. In this space, the hand holder 4000 ) can be placed.

As an example, the air cell 3200 may be arranged to have a smaller diameter in a direction toward the user's hand. That is, the first upper air cell 3210, the second upper air cell 3220, and the lower air cell 3230 may be arranged to become narrower in a direction toward the user's hand.

Therefore, after the user's arm is inserted, the first upper air cell 3210, the second upper air cell 3220, and the lower air cell 3230 expand to correspond to the shape of the user's hand and arm to stabilize the user's hand and arm. and can be safely fixed.

As an embodiment, the arm massage unit 3000 according to an embodiment may include an arm support frame 3100.

The arm support frame 3100 may be disposed in the arm massage unit 3000, and a space into which a user's arm is inserted may be provided in the arm support frame 3100.

As an example, the arm support frame 3100 may be formed to have a 'c' shaped cross section. That is, the arm support frame 3100 is open in one direction so that the user's arm can be easily inserted and removed.

As an example, the air cell 3200 may be disposed on an inner surface of the arm support frame 3100.

That is, the air cell 3200 is disposed on the inner surface of the arm support frame 3100, and a user can receive a massage by inserting an arm into the inner surface of the arm support frame 3100 equipped with the air cell 3200.

As an example, the arm support frame 3100 may be formed in a shape that becomes narrower toward the user's hand.

As described above, the first upper air cell 3210, the second upper air cell 3220, and the lower air cell 3230 are disposed inside the arm support frame 3100 and are disposed to become narrower toward the user's hand. can Therefore, after the user's arm is inserted, the first upper air cell 3210, the second upper air cell 3220, and the lower air cell 3230 expand to correspond to the shape of the user's hand and arm to stabilize the user's hand and arm. and can be safely fixed.

As an example, the first upper air cell 3210 may have a multi-layered structure, and in this case, at least one layer of the first upper air cell 3210 may be additionally disposed in a direction closer to the user's hand.

As another example, the first upper air cell 3210 may be integrally formed, and in this case, the first upper air cell 3210 may extend in a direction toward the user's hand. Accordingly, the first upper air cell 3210 may have a larger volume change than the second upper air cell 3220 when inflated.

Accordingly, when the first upper air cell 3210 is inflated, the user's hand may be more completely covered by the first upper air cell 3210 . That is, the user's hand can be further closed by the first upper air cell 3210, and accordingly, the first biometric information measurement sensor 4600 can accurately and precisely measure the user's optical blood flow without external interference. .

FIG. 10 is a view of the upper air cell 3200 according to the embodiment of FIG. 6 viewed from below, and FIG. 11 is a view of the upper air cell 3200 of FIG. 10 viewed obliquely from below.

Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11 , the first upper air cell 3210 may have a space for seating at least one of the user's fingers.

As an example, the first upper air cell 3210 may be provided with a separation space 3211 into which a user's finger may be inserted.

The first upper air cell 3210 may be formed of a plurality of layers, and the layers of the first upper air cell 3210 that come in contact with the user's hand may be spaced apart from each other so that the user's finger is inserted, thereby spaced apart. A space 3211 may be provided.

Although only one separation space 3211 is shown in the drawing so that only one of the user's fingers can be inserted, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a plurality of separation spaces 3211 may be provided so that several fingers of the user may be inserted.

Accordingly, when the first upper air cell 3210 is inflated, the user's finger is inserted into the separation space 3211, so the user may not feel pain or discomfort in the finger.

In addition, since the separation space 3211 into which the user's fingers are to be inserted is provided, the first upper air cell 3210 can expand more than when there is no separation space 3211, and thus the user's hand is placed on the hand holder.

FIG. 12 is a view of the upper air cell 3200' according to another embodiment of FIG. 6 viewed from below, and FIG. 13 is a view of the upper air cell 3200' of FIG. 12 viewed obliquely from below.

Referring to FIGS. 12 and 13 , the first upper air cell 3210' may include a fused portion 3211'.

As an example, the first upper air cell 3210' may include a fused portion 3211' to provide a space into which a user's finger can be inserted.

In the first upper air cell 3210', a fused portion 3211' may be formed along the length direction of the user's finger. Accordingly, even if the first upper air cell 3210' expands, the fused portion 3211' does not expand. may not be Accordingly, when the first upper air cell 3210' expands, only the portion excluding the fused portion 3211' expands, thereby providing a space into which a user's finger can be inserted.

In the drawing, only one fusion part 3211' is shown so that only one of the user's fingers can be inserted, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and a plurality of fusion parts 3211' can be formed so that several fingers of the user can be inserted. .

Accordingly, when the first upper air cell 3210' is inflated, the user's finger is inserted into the space prepared by the fusing portion 3211', so the user may not feel pain or discomfort in the finger.

In addition, since a space for the user's finger to be inserted is provided, the first upper air cell 3210' can expand more than when there is no fusion portion 3211', and thus the user's hand is placed in the hand holder 4000. ) can be strongly adhered without pain.

FIG. 14 is a view of the upper air cell according to another embodiment of FIG. 6 viewed from below, and FIG. 15 is a view of the upper air cell of FIG. 14 viewed obliquely from below.

14 and 15, the upper air cell includes a first upper air cell 3210", a second upper air cell 3220", and a finger air cell 3211" disposed below the first upper air cell 3210". can include

The finger air cell 3211″ is disposed below the first upper air cell 3210″, but may be disposed only on a part of the front surface of the first upper air cell 3210″. That is, the first upper air cell 3210″, When the second upper air cell 3220" and the finger air cell 3211" are inflated to cover the user's hand, the finger air cell 3211" can be placed only on the portion corresponding to the front of the user's finger, The finger air cell 3211″ may not be disposed on the back of the hand and a portion corresponding to the knuckle close to the back of the user's hand.

Accordingly, when the first upper air cell 3210", the second upper air cell 3220", and the finger air cell 3211" are inflated, a space may be provided in which the back of the user's hand and the knuckles close to the back of the hand are disposed. The user may not feel pain or discomfort in the fingers or the back of the hand.

In addition, since a space is provided where a part of the user's finger is inserted, the first upper air cell 3210" can expand more than when there is no finger air cell 3211", and thus the user's hand is It can be strongly adhered to the mounting portion 4000 without pain.

FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining another embodiment in which the air cell 3200 is disposed, and FIG. 17 is a diagram for explaining an expanded state of the air cell 3200 of FIG. 16 .

Referring to FIGS. 16 and 17 , the arm massage unit 3000 may not include an arm support frame. That is, the arm massage unit 3000 may have a space into which a user's arm can be inserted without a separate arm support frame.

In this case, as an embodiment, the air cell 3200 may be directly disposed on the inner surface of the arm massage unit 3000.

That is, the air cell 3200 is disposed on the inner surface of the arm massage unit 3000, and a user can receive a massage by inserting an arm into the arm massage unit 3000 equipped with the air cell 3200.

As described above, the first upper air cell 3210, the second upper air cell 3220, and the lower air cell 3230 are disposed inside the arm massage unit 3000, but are disposed so as to become narrower toward the user's hand. It can be. Therefore, after the user's arm is inserted, the first upper air cell 3210, the second upper air cell 3220, and the lower air cell 3230 expand to correspond to the shape of the user's hand and arm to stabilize the user's hand and arm. and can be safely fixed.

18 is a view showing a hand holder 4000 according to an embodiment, FIG. 19 is an exploded perspective view of the hand holder 4000 of FIG. 18, and FIG. 20 is a top view of the hand holder of FIG. 18 It is a schematic drawing.

Referring to FIGS. 18 to 20 , the hand holder 4000 may include a lower cover 4100 and an upper cover 4200 .

The lower cover 4100 is disposed on the lower side of the hand holder 4000, and the upper cover 4200 is disposed on the upper side of the hand holder 4000 to form the overall shape of the hand holder 4000.

As an embodiment, the lower cover 4100 may be installed on the arm massage unit 3000 so that the hand holder 4000 is installed on the arm massage unit 3000 .

The upper cover 4200 is disposed above the hand holder 4000, and a user's hand may contact the upper cover 4200. For example, the user can place his hand on the upper cover 4200 while putting his arm in the arm massager 3000, thereby placing his hand on the hand holder 4000.

As an example, the upper cover 4200 may be formed to be curved so that a portion in contact with the user's palm protrudes.

When the user's hand is relaxed, the user's hand is naturally slightly curled and bent. Therefore, since the upper cover 4200 is curved so that the portion in contact with the user's palm protrudes, the user can place his/her hand on the hand holder 4000 naturally, and even in this case, the user's palm has a large area. It can come into contact with the upper cover 4200.

As an example, the upper cover 4200 may include at least one curved portion at a portion that comes into contact with a user's finger.

When the user's hand is naturally placed on the hand holder 4000, the index finger to the index finger are disposed on the upper side of the hand holder 4000, and the thumb is disposed on the side. Therefore, when the first upper air cell 3210 is inflated, the first upper air cell 3210 comes into strong contact with the hand holder 4000 from the index finger to the index finger, and thus may feel uncomfortable.

To this end, a curved portion may be formed in the upper cover 4200 so that a finger can be seated thereon.

Specifically, the bent portion may be formed in a shape that is recessed in a direction toward the inside of the hand resting portion 4000 so that at least one finger of the user's index or index finger can be seated thereon. Therefore, even if the first upper air cell 3210 expands, the user's hand can feel comfortable because the finger is seated on the inside of the bent portion.

As an example, the upper cover 4200 may be formed of a flexible material. For example, the upper cover 4200 may be made of a material such as silicone, rubber, leather, synthetic fiber, or synthetic resin. However, it is not limited thereto, and any material that is deformed in shape by an external force and can buffer the force may be used.

Accordingly, even if the first upper air cell 3210 expands while the user places his/her hand on the hand holder 4000, the user's hand may not feel pain or discomfort.

In addition, since the upper cover 4200 buffers the force caused by the expansion of the first upper air cell 3210, the first upper air cell 3210 can expand with a stronger force, and thus the user's hand is placed on the hand holder. (4000) can be strongly adhered to without pain.

That is, when the first upper air cell 3210 is inflated, the user's hand is strongly pressed toward the hand holder 4000 . Accordingly, when the upper cover 4200 is formed of a flexible material, an impact or applied force due to expansion of the first upper air cell 3210 may be buffered.

As an example, the upper cover 4200 may include at least one groove formed along the length direction of the user's finger.

As will be described later, since the light cover 4400 is disposed below the upper cover 4200 and the printed circuit board 4300 equipped with the light emitting unit 4320 is disposed below the light cover 4400, the light emitting unit ( The light irradiated in 4320) must be transmitted to the user's hand to provide light therapy. At this time, when the groove is not formed in the upper cover 4200, the light generated from the light emitting unit 4320 does not pass through the upper cover 4200 smoothly or at all, so the light is sufficiently transmitted to the user's hand. Unexpected problems may arise.

Accordingly, the light generated from the light emitting unit 4320 can be smoothly irradiated to the user's hand through the groove formed in the upper cover 4200 .

In addition, since the grooves formed in the upper cover 4200 are formed along the length direction of the user's fingers, when the user's hand is placed on the upper cover 4200, light can be evenly transmitted to the user's fingers. That is, since light is uniformly and sufficiently transmitted to the user's finger joints, the effect of light therapy can be maximized.

The hand holding unit 4000 may include a printed circuit board 4300 (Printed Circuit Board, PCB).

The printed circuit board 4300 may be disposed inside the hand massage unit. Various electrical components embedded in the hand holder 4000 may be disposed on the printed circuit board 4300 .

The printed circuit board 4300 will be described in detail later.

As an embodiment, the hand holder 4000 may further include an optical cover 4400.

The light cover 4400 may guide a path of light emitted from the light emitting unit 4320 . For example, light for providing light therapy may be generated from the light emitting unit 4320, and the generated light may pass through the light cover 4400 and be irradiated to the user's hand.

The light cover 4400 will be described later in detail.

As one embodiment, the hand holder 4000 may further include a heating element 4500.

The heating element 4500 may provide a thermal massage to the user's hand. For example, the heating element 4500 may generate heat by power applied from the outside. Heat generated through the heating element 4500 may be transferred to the hand holder 4000 , thereby transferring heat to the user's hand placed on the hand holder 4000 .

The heating element 4500 will be described later in detail.

As an embodiment, the hand holder 4000 may include at least one biometric information measurement sensor that measures user's biometric information.

As an example, at least a portion of the sensor for measuring biometric information may be exposed on the surface of the hand holder 4000 . Accordingly, when the user's hand is placed on the hand holder 4000, the user's hand may come into contact with the biometric information measuring sensor.

However, contact between the user's hand and the biometric information measurement sensor does not mean complete contact without a non-contact area, and includes a case in which at least a portion of the biometric information measurement sensor contacts the user's hand.

As an embodiment, the hand holder 4000 may further include at least one first biometric information measurement sensor 4600 .

The first biometric information measurement sensor 4600 may detect at least one of the biometric information of the user's body.

As an optional embodiment, the first biometric information measurement sensor 4600 may be a PPG sensor that measures photoplethysmography (PPG).

Therefore, while the user places his hand on the hand holder 4000 and receives a massage, the massage device 100 transmits the user's light through the first biometric information measuring sensor 4600 provided in the hand holder 4000. Blood flow can be measured and abnormal signals of the user's heart can be detected.

In general, PPG sensors include a type using green light and a type using red light or infrared light.

The PPG sensor using green light has the advantage of measuring the user's optical blood flow even if the body part to be measured is not closed, but has the disadvantage of slow feedback and low sensing accuracy. Therefore, when it is difficult to close a body part, a PPG sensor using green light is used.

In contrast, the first biometric information measuring sensor 4600 of the massage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be a PPG sensor using red light or infrared light.

To this end, the massage device 100 according to the present invention may include an air cell 3200 at a position corresponding to the user's hand.

As an example, the first upper air cell 3210 may cover the user's hand when inflated. For example, the first upper air cell 3210 may inflate to cover the user's hand, thereby closing the user's hand and minimizing interference of light from the outside.

Accordingly, when the first biometric information measurement sensor 4600 uses red light or infrared light, sensing capability may be improved and feedback may be speeded up.

As an example, the air cell 3200 may be formed of a material having elasticity and ductility. Specifically, the surface of the air cell 3200 may be formed of a material having elasticity and ductility. For example, the air cell 3200 may include a material such as a natural material, a rubber material, a leather material, a synthetic fiber material, or a synthetic resin.

Therefore, after the air cell 3200 covers the user's hand, the light emitted from the first biometric information measurement sensor 4600 may collide with the air cell 3200 and be easily reflected, whereby the first biometric information measurement sensor ( 4600) can measure the user's optical blood flow more quickly and accurately.

That is, the air cell 3200 covers the user's hand while receiving air supplied from the air supply unit and expanding, thereby closing the user's hand to reduce interference of external light.

Accordingly, the massage device 100 according to the present invention includes the first biometric information measuring sensor 4600 using red light or infrared light, so that the user's optical blood flow can be accurately and quickly measured.

As an optional embodiment, a plurality of first biometric information measurement sensors 4600 may be disposed on the hand holder 4000 to be spaced apart from each other.

Therefore, the massage device 100 can more accurately measure the optical blood flow through the first biometric information measuring sensor 4600 .

As a preferred embodiment, two first biometric information measuring sensors 4600 may be provided. In this case, the first biometric information measurement sensor 4600 may be disposed at a position corresponding to the user's index finger and a position corresponding to the user's wrist.

If the first biometric information measurement sensor 4600 is disposed at a location other than the location corresponding to the user's index finger and wrist, the optical blood flow measurement accuracy decreases. Accordingly, the first biometric information measurement sensor according to the present invention 4600 is disposed at a position corresponding to the user's index finger and a position corresponding to the wrist, so that the optical blood flow can be more accurately and precisely measured.

As an embodiment, the hand holder 4000 may further include at least one second biometric information measurement sensor 4700 .

The second biometric information measuring sensor 4700 may detect at least one of the biometric information of the user's body.

As an optional embodiment, the second biometric information measurement sensor 4700 may be an ECG sensor that measures an electrocardiogram (ECG).

Therefore, while the user places his hand on the hand holder 4000 and receives a massage, the massage device 100 monitors the user's electrocardiogram through the second biometric information measurement sensor 4700 provided in the hand holder 4000. may be measured, and the state of the user's heart may be measured by measuring the electrical activity of the user's heart.

As an optional embodiment, a plurality of second biometric information measurement sensors 4700 may be arranged to be spaced apart from each other.

Therefore, even when the user's hand is not accurately seated on the hand holder 4000, the user's electrocardiogram can be accurately measured.

As described above, the massage device 100 according to the present invention may include the controller 1200.

The controller 1200 may obtain at least one piece of biometric information of the user through a biometric information measuring sensor.

As an embodiment, the user's biometric information obtained through the controller 1200 and the biometric information measuring sensor may be stored in the storage unit 1300 . In this case, the user can output his biometric information stored in the storage unit 1300 .

As an embodiment, the hand holder 4000 may further include a control module 4800.

The control module 4800 may be a means through which a user inputs commands for controlling the operation of the massage device 100.

When the user receives a massage while the arm is inserted into the arm massage unit 3000, the user's arm may be fixed by the air cell 3200 as described above. In this case, since the arm is fixed by the air cell 3200, the user cannot freely move the arm and cannot easily control the massage device 100.

Accordingly, the control module 4800 may be provided in the hand holder 4000 separately from the user input unit 1400 described above, and the user uses the control module 4800 while the arm is fixed by the air cell 3200. It is possible to control the operation of the massage device 100.

As an optional embodiment, the control module 4800 may be disposed at a position adjacent to the user's finger, and preferably disposed adjacent to the user's thumb.

Accordingly, the user can easily control the massage device 100 even when the arm is fixed by the air cell 3200.
