Abstract

Provided is a massage module having a heating function to transfer heat to the human body through massage performed by applying vibrations or pressure to a body part of a user. The massage module includes a massage unit which applies pressure and heat to the body of the user, the massage unit including: a support shaft member which is fixedly installed on a unit bracket and includes a heat conductive material; a heat generation member for transferring heat to the support shaft member; a cushion member which has an opening formed in the center thereof such that the support shaft member is inserted in the opening, is rotatably installed on the outer surface of the support shaft member, and applies pressure to the body of the user; an insert member which is inserted in the inner circumferential surface of the opening of the cushion member, has a ring shape, and is formed of a heat conductive metal material; and a reinforcing washer which is formed in a ring shape, is inserted in the support shaft member, and is in close contact with one side surface or both side surfaces of the cushion member in the axial direction. so as to resist a torsion stress applied to the cushion member.

Dependent claims

A massage module having a heating function comprising:

a module base mounted in a massage apparatus;
a massage driving unit mounted on the module base to provide at least one among driving forces for vibration, linear motion, rotational motion, and massage position adjustment for massaging a user's body;
a unit bracket connect to the massage driving unit;
and
a massage unit mounted on the unit bracket to apply pressure and heat to the user's body,
wherein the massage unit comprises:
a support shaft member made of a thermally conductive material, and fixed to the unit bracket;
a heating member for transferring heat to the support shaft member;
a cushion member having an opening formed in the middle thereof so that the support shaft member is inserted thereinto, rotatably mounted on the outer surface of the support shaft member to apply pressure to the user's body;
a ring-shaped insert member made of a thermally conductive metal material and inserted into the inner circumferential surface of an opening of the cushion member;
and
a reinforcing washer of a ring shape fit onto the support shaft member and getting in close contact with one axial side surface or both axial side surfaces of the cushion member to resist torsion stress applied to the cushion member.
