The specific embodiment
The foot massager of embodiments of the present invention is described with reference to accompanying drawing.Fig. 1 represent to have foot massager 2 of the present invention chair-type massage appliance 1 and sit in people's (user) M in its one 11.Foot among the present invention refers to the position from the calf to the toe.Chair-type massage machine 1 has in backrest 10 and is used to massage the shoulder of user M and the massage appliance 3 of the back of the body.Foot massager 2 is connected the front end of the seat portion 11 of massage appliance 1 by axle 29, so that utilize its rotation can make the rotation of foot massager 2 main bodys.Rotating drive mechanism as making the rotation of foot massager 2 main bodys has flexible actuator 5.Foot massager 2 has the function of pad footstool (footboard).
As shown in Figure 2, foot massager 2 has the groove 29 of the part from the calf to the tiptoe of the foot that holds the people respectively.This groove 29 wall within it has a plurality of air bags 20～25.In these air bags 20～25, air bag 20～23rd is used for the massage air bag that calf is massaged, air bag 20 is configured in the outer circumferential side of air bag 21～23, air bag 24 is the massage air bags that are used for the massage of foot, and air bag 25 is to be used for by upwards pushing the stretching, extension air bag that tiptoe portion stretches heel string.
As shown in Figure 3, these air bags 20～25 are connected on the pump P by three-way valve V0～V5 respectively.Between air bag 20 and valve V0, has pressure holding valve V6.Control part C control pump P, valve V0～V6 and actuator 5.Control part C has controller H that is used for the input operation indication and the position sensor S that detects the position of rotation of foot massager 2 main bodys of rotating by actuator 5.
When above-mentioned control part C has given the indication of stretching of heel string at slave controller H, at first for fixing ankle, the massage that is in the position of approaching ankle in the air bag 21～23 is expanded with air bag 23, to push tiptoe portion in order making then, to make to stretch and expand with air bag 25 from the sole side direction.Like this, upwards push tiptoe portion owing to heel is upwards floated, so can correctly realize the stretching of heel string.
At the air bag 20 of the periphery of air bag 21～23, expand by making air bag 20, and then air bag 21～23 is expanded, can carry out various calf massage.Air bag 20 be in ankle around, therefore can carry out the fixing of ankle more strongly.But, air bag 20 is expanded.This is because because the capacity of air bag 20 is bigger, the time that needs of expanding is long, so for rapid response, it is better only to make 23 expansions of the little air bag of capacity fix ankle.
And then, if air bag 20 is used for stretching repeatedly, because evacuation time and contraction time are longer, and otherwise make T cycle time repeatedly elongated, shown in the curve a of Fig. 6, the pressure of air bag 20 is accompanied by the number of occurrence and uprises together.The pressure of the curve b of Fig. 6 when to be expression in the mode of the time of guaranteeing to be used for aerofluxus and contraction make that cycle time, T grew time α changes.Like this, for fixing ankle under short cycle time T and suitable pressure, air bag 23 is expanded.
Air bag 23 does not have pressure holding valve owing to suppress the reason of cost etc., institute is so that after air cock 23 expands and fixed ankle, in order to carry out stretching by air supply in air bag 25, and beginning is in air bag 25 during air supply, air in the air bag 23 begins to discharge, and the bed knife of ankle dies down.Therefore,, the pressure of air bag 23 is suppressed at reduced levels for being descended, as shown in Figure 4, the flow A that the air before the flow B that control part C is used in air bag 25 expansible pump P begins to expand greater than air bag 25 is supplied with (B＞A).In addition, from making the 23 expansible moment of air bag, greatly also passable when making flow-rate ratio common.
Air portion C fixedly before the ankle, by driving actuator 5, makes foot massager 2 main bodys rotate needed angle upward in the expansion by air bag 23 when the indication of the stretching that heel string is arranged.By the rotation upward of this foot massager 2 main bodys and the position and the kneed position relation of axle 29, the top of the lower limb of user is left from attending a banquet of chair, utilize the self gravitation of its foot, and the heel that is in user reliably with the tiptoe maintaining part state of contact of foot massager 2.Because upwards carrying out after being pressed in this spinning movement of the fixing and sole of ankle is so realize the stretching of heel string more reliably.
Above-mentioned rotational action turns an angle upward based on the output of above-mentioned position sensor S, if but under the situation that has reached the slewing area upper limit, till this angle of arriving.
