DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a massage machine having a heater function, and more particularly to a technique for avoiding performing a strong massage at a low temperature.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been known that suddenly applying a strong force to a human body when the temperature of the human body is low may harm the human body. Despite the fact that the temperature cannot be increased, the massage is performed with the same strength as when the temperature of the human body is high.

In the reclining type massage machine, the weight of the user is applied to the treatment element at the time of reclining, in which the backrest is greatly lowered, and a strong force acts on the human body. Similarly, a strong massage is performed at a low temperature. .

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and avoids performing a strong massage at a low temperature, and as a result, a massage machine capable of performing a good massage. It is an object to provide

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a massage machine having a heater function, wherein a heater temperature and a massage intensity are respectively adjustable, and a weak massage is performed when the temperature of the heater H is low. In this case, the massage intensity is increased as the temperature of the heater H increases. According to such a configuration, a strong massage is not performed when the heater temperature is low. Therefore, it is possible to avoid performing a strong massage when the human body is not warm, and a strong massage is performed as the heater temperature increases. And a good massage can be performed.

In this case, it is preferable that the massage is performed by air pressure.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a reclining massage machine having a heater function, wherein the backrest 15 is tilted down as the temperature of the heater H rises. According to such a configuration, when the heater temperature is low, the backrest 15 is largely tilted, so that a strong massage is not performed because the weight is applied to the treatment element. Therefore, the strong massage is performed when the human body is not warmed. Can be avoided, and the backrest 15 is tilted down as the heater temperature rises to perform a strong massage, so that a good massage can be performed.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the whole, and FIG. 2 is a schematic side view showing the operation of the treatment element of the backrest.

The massage machine A is, for example, a well-known type (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-49741) in which the treatment element 5 is incorporated in a backrest 15 of a chair that can be reclined freely. Hereinafter, the general movement of the treatment element 5 will be described, but the movement of the treatment element 5 is not limited to this.
It is only necessary that the massage force by the treatment element 5 can be adjusted to increase or decrease.

As shown in FIG. 2, when the main shaft 1 is rotated by a motor (not shown), an inner ring 2 which rotates together with the main shaft 1 is eccentric and inclined with respect to the main shaft 1. Outer ring 3 freely mounted on 2
The treatment element 5 attached via the arm 4 performs a three-dimensional movement with the rotation of the main shaft 1 because the movement of the arm 4 is restricted by the connecting link 8. . The pair of treatment elements 5 and 5 performing such a movement perform a massage of “sleeping” on the back of the user. Such a movement of the “sticking” is well known and can be variously changed.

A connecting link 8 connected to the arm 4 via a ball joint 6 swings up, down, left and right with the rotation of the inner ring 2, and the connecting link 8 and the rotating shaft 12 form a sphere forming a ball joint. The treatment element 5 is smoothly operated by being connected by the eccentric member 9.

The feed nut 10 is rotated by rotating the feed screw 10 via a belt transmission 23 by a motor.
8 and the auxiliary shaft 13 via the link 11 and the rotating plate 22.
By rotating the rotary shaft 12 at the tip end of the rotary plate 22 around to change the position of the eccentric member 9 around the main shaft 1,
The arm 4 and the outer ring 3 rotate around the inner ring 2, and the treatment element 5 changes the amount of projection in the front direction where the back of the user is located. When the treatment element 5 is most protruded in FIG. 2, a strong “sneak” massage is performed, and when the treatment element 5 is at the most retracted position, a weak “sneak” massage is performed. Thus, the intensity of the massage can be adjusted. In this way, the configuration for adjusting the massage force by changing the protrusion amount of the treatment element 5 can be variously changed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the seat 14, the backrest 1
A heater H is attached to the foot 5 and the foot 16.

When the temperature of the heater H reaches a certain level or more after using the massage machine A, the temperature is detected by a temperature sensor (not shown). Is projected to the human body side, and the heater temperature is constant (for example, 10 ° C. or less).
Without a strong massage when lower than
It is possible to avoid performing a strong massage when the human body is not warm, and to perform a strong massage by projecting the treatment element 5 with the temperature of the heater H rising above a certain level. You can do a good massage.

As shown in FIG. 3, a backrest 15 is rotatably supported about a pivot 19 with respect to the seat portion 14, and the backrest 15 and the seat portion 14 are connected to an electric telescopic actuator 20.
And a reclining function of electrically rotating the backrest 15 by the expansion and contraction of the electric expansion and contraction actuator 20 is held. Then, the backrest 15 is tilted in accordance with the temperature rise of the heater H by a certain temperature or more.

[0016] However, when the heater temperature is low, the backrest 15 is greatly tilted, so that the massager does not perform a strong massage due to the weight being applied to the treatment element, and avoids performing a strong massage when the human body is not warm. You can do it. In addition, as the heater temperature rises, the backrest 15 is depressed to perform a strong massage, so that a good massage can be performed.

As shown in FIG. 4, an air massaging section 21 is provided at the foot of the massage machine A, and is expanded by injecting air, contracted by sucking air, and compressed by air pressure. I try to do a massage. The air massage unit 21 performs, for example, an air massage by inserting a calf portion, and increases the supply amount of air to the air massage unit 21 to a certain value or more with the temperature rise of the heater H at a certain temperature or more. And I try to do air massage strongly.

[0018]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a massage machine having a heater function, wherein a heater temperature and a massage intensity are each adjustable, and a weak massage is performed when the heater temperature is low. Since the massage intensity is increased as the temperature rises, a strong massage is not performed when the heater temperature is low. Therefore, it is possible to avoid performing a strong massage when the human body is not warm, and to reduce the heater temperature. A strong massage is performed as the ascending is performed, and there is an advantage that a good massage can be performed.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a reclining massage machine having a heater function, wherein the backrest is tilted down as the temperature of the heater rises. The body does not give a strong massage due to weight gain, so it is possible to avoid performing a strong massage when the human body is not warm, and to perform a strong massage by defeating the backrest as the heater temperature rises. There is an advantage that a good massage can be performed.
