Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die bis heute bekannten Massagemechanismen für Polstermöbel benötigen auf Grund ihrer Bauart eine große Einbautiefe und können die gewünschten Bewegungen nicht gleichzeitig ausführen. Der Grund sind die aus vielen Einzelkomponenten in mehreren Ebenen und versetzten Achslagen zusammengefügten Mechanismen. Auch sind keine Fabrikate bekannt, bei denen die Massage­ mechanismen in der Ruhestellung aus dem Arbeitsbereich aus­ schwenken.The massage mechanisms for upholstered furniture known until today require a large installation depth due to their design and cannot make the desired movements at the same time To run. The reason is that of many individual components in several levels and staggered axis positions Mechanisms. Also, no brands are known for which the massage mechanisms in the rest position from the work area swing.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Mechanismus zu schaffen, der auf kleinstem Raum alle zur mechanischen Massage eines menschlichen Körpers notwendigen Bewegungen ausführen kann und in der Art gebaut ist, daß die komplette Mechanik eine so geringe Einbautiefe hat, daß sie in eine normale Größe eines Polstersessels hineinpaßt. Weiter soll ein solchermaßen ausgerüsteter Sessel durch den Einbau der Mechanik nicht in seiner normalen Nutzung eingeschränkt werden. Alle Massagebewegungen sollten variabel und gleichzeitig ausgeführt werden können.The invention has for its object a mechanism to create all of the mechanical in the smallest space Massage a human body necessary movements can execute and is built in such a way that the complete Mechanics has such a small installation depth that it can be fits normal size of an upholstered armchair. Furthermore, an armchair equipped in this way should go through the installation of the mechanics in its normal use be restricted. All massage movements should be variable and simultaneous can be executed.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht eine Erfindung vor, bei der alle Funktionsachsen zentrisch angeordnet sind und aufgrund der Anordnung der Motoren alle Bewegungen gleichzeitig ausgeführt werden können. So bewegt der Motor 1 über das Schneckengetriebe 2 die Welle 3 und die an den Enden angebrachten Zahnräder 4 und das an dem Führungsrahmen 5 angebrachte Zahnstangengetriebe 6 den gesamten Mechanismus in den Führungssschienen 7 durch spielfreie Pollenlagerung 8 in die gewünschten Positionen. Diese Führungsschienen 7 sind so ausgebildet, daß das Rollenpaar 9 und 10 sich gegenseitig spielfrei abstützen.The solution to this problem is provided by an invention in which all functional axes are arranged centrally and, because of the arrangement of the motors, all movements can be carried out simultaneously. Thus, the motor 1 moves the shaft 3 via the worm gear 2 and the gearwheels 4 attached to the ends and the rack and pinion gear 6 attached to the guide frame 5 move the entire mechanism in the guide rails 7 into the desired positions by play-free pollen mounting 8 . These guide rails 7 are designed so that the pair of rollers 9 and 10 support each other without play.

Die an der Welle 3 angebrachten Zahnräder können den Mechanismus über die im Eingriff stehenden Zahnstangen spielfrei in den Führungen 7 in jede gewünschte Position bewegen. Die Führungsschienen sind so ausgebildet, daß der Abstand des der Massagerollen 11 zu einem sich in einem mit einer solchen Massageeinheit ausgerüsteten Sitzeinrichtung befindlichen menschlichem Körper immer gleich ist. Das wird durch die dem menschlichen Körper angepaßte Kurve 7 erreicht. Der untere Teil der Führungskurve bewegt den Mechanismus aus dem Arbeitsbereich 23 in eine Ruhelage 24. Der Verfahrweg wird durch die an dem Verstellmotor 1 angebrachte interne Schalteinrichtung 12 nach Patentanmeldung 196 13 814.0 und intern im Verstellmotor eingebauten elektrischen Endschaltern begrenzt.The gearwheels attached to the shaft 3 can move the mechanism in the guides 7 into any desired position without play via the toothed racks which are in engagement. The guide rails are designed such that the distance between the massage rollers 11 and a human body located in a seat device equipped with such a massage unit is always the same. This is achieved by curve 7 adapted to the human body. The lower part of the guide curve moves the mechanism from the work area 23 to a rest position 24 . The travel path is limited by the internal switching device 12 attached to the adjusting motor 1 according to patent application 196 13 814.0 and electrical limit switches installed internally in the adjusting motor.

An einem durch den Verstellmotor 13 angetriebenem Verbindungsrohr 14 sind zwei oder mehrere Mitnehmerscheiben 15 angebracht. Durch diese werden mittels Mitnehmerstifte 16 und Mitnehmernut 17 in den Massageköpfen 18 diese in eine Drehbewegung versetzt.Two or more drive plates 15 are attached to a connecting pipe 14 driven by the adjusting motor 13 . By means of driver pins 16 and driver groove 17 in the massage heads 18, the latter are set in a rotational movement.

Diese Massageköpfe sind nun wiederum auf dem Verbindungsrohr 19 gelagert, welches durch einen Verstellmotor 20 angetrieben werden kann. Die Lagerstellen der Massageköpfe 18 sind nun wiederum exzentrisch zur Lagerung des Verbindungsrohres 19 zu Verbindungsrohr 14 angeordnet.These massage heads are in turn mounted on the connecting tube 19 , which can be driven by an adjusting motor 20 . The bearings of the massage heads 18 are in turn arranged eccentrically for mounting the connecting tube 19 to the connecting tube 14 .

Nun werden die Massageköpfe durch den Verstellmotor über das Verbindungsrohr und den darauf befindlichen Exzenter in eine radiale Bewegung um den Betrag der Exzentrizität bewegt. Der mit den Rollen der Massageköpfe in Kontakt befindliche menschliche Körper empfindet nun diese Bewegung als ein Massageklopfen und bei höherer Drehzahl des Motors als ein Vibrieren. Auf den Massageköpfen sind die Massagerollen drehbar gelagert. Diese Massagerollen können je nach Anwendung aus hartem oder weicherem Material bestehen. Die Regel ist eine Gummi-Metall-Konstruktion. Durch Positionieren der Verbindungswelle können die Massageköpfe beim Knetmassieren in verschiedene Abstände im den Betrag der Exzentrizität gebracht werden. Das wird im menschlichen Körper als unterschiedlicher Druck empfunden.Now the massage heads are moved by the adjustment motor the connecting pipe and the eccentric located on it a radial movement moves by the amount of eccentricity. The one in contact with the rollers of the massage heads human body now feels this movement as one Massage tapping and when the engine speed is higher than a vibration. The massage rollers can be rotated on the massage heads stored. These massage rollers can vary depending on the application hard or softer material. The rule is one Rubber-metal construction. By positioning the connecting shaft, the Massage heads for kneading massages at different distances in the amount of eccentricity. It will perceived as different pressures in the human body.

Werden die Massageköpfe durch den Motor und dem Verbindungs­ rohr und den Mitnehmern in eine Drehbewegung versetzt, so bewegen sich die Berührungspunkte, die im Kontakt mit dem menschlichen Körper sind, um den Betrag hin und her. Dieses wird nun als Kneten empfunden. Will the massage heads through the motor and the connection tube and the drivers in a rotary motion, so the points of contact move that are in contact are with the human body to the amount back and forth. This is now felt as kneading.  

Durch Positionieren der Mitnehmerscheiben 15 können nun die Berührungspunkte beim Klopfmassieren um den Betrag variiert werden.By positioning the drive disks 15 , the points of contact during the tapping massage can now be varied by the amount.

Werden nun alle Motoren eingeschaltet, so bewegt sich die gesamte Massageeinheit in den Führungsschienen 5, der Motor 13 dreht über die Mitnehmer 15 die Massageköpfe 18, so daß die Massage­ rollen durch die Taumelbewegung eine Knetmassage bewirken und durch Drehen des Motors 20 und der Exzenterwelle 17 werden die Massageköpfe zusätzlich noch eine Klopfmassage bewirken.If all motors are now switched on, the entire massage unit moves in the guide rails 5 , the motor 13 rotates the massage heads 18 via the drivers 15 , so that the massage rolls cause a kneading massage by the tumbling movement and by rotating the motor 20 and the eccentric shaft 17 the massage heads will also effect a tapping massage.

Alle Funktionen können auch einzeln ausgeführt werden. Wenn nur der Motor 1 die Massageeinheit in den Schienen bewegt, werden die Bewegungen der Massagerollen als eine Streichmassage empfunden.All functions can also be carried out individually. If only the motor 1 moves the massage unit in the rails, the movements of the massage rollers are perceived as a stroke massage.

Die Motoren, Achsen und Führungsrollen werden durch den Rahmen 22 in ihren Lagen fest gehalten, so daß sie bei Benutzung der Massageeinheit nicht aus ihren Lagen bewegt werden können.The motors, axles and guide rollers are held firmly in their positions by the frame 22 , so that they cannot be moved out of their positions when the massage unit is used.
