An emergency stop button 14 is provided below the timer, and a timer display unit 15 for displaying the play time is provided below the emergency stop button 14, and the remaining time is indicated by a digital display. Further below, a charge setting is described, and as shown in FIG. 1, a coin insertion slot 16 is provided on a vertical surface in front of the coin insertion machine.
[0034]
In operation, the backrest portion 2 which is the home position of the massage machine changes from a state A in which the backrest portion 2 is shallowly inclined, to a state B in which the backrest portion 2 is inclined by the rotation of the reclining motor and is inclined in a predetermined deep position. Start the movement of the fir balls according to the content of the course. In the sound hybrid course, when the massage machine stops at a predetermined inclination angle, the guidance and sound of the selected course flow from the speaker 27 attached to the inclined support column 26 at the position corresponding to both ears of the customer.
[0035]
The operation will be described with reference to a block diagram of a control system of the massage chair shown in FIG. When the coin switch 16a detects a coin inserted into the coin insertion slot of the coin insertion machine, a detection signal is sent to the control unit 40. When the control unit 40 detects that a predetermined required amount of coin has been inserted, the control panel 40 The lamps provided in the plurality of course selection buttons 13a, 13b,... 13f are turned on, and the operation time is digitally displayed on the timer display unit 15. For example, there are various courses where a three-dimensional sound can be enjoyed, a basic upper body course, a neck / shoulder course, a waist course, and the like, which are basic courses separated from an operation range of a fir ball.
[0036]
In the sound hybrid course where you can enjoy three-dimensional sound, you can listen to three-dimensional sound from the speaker 17, and one story (Golden Hi-Tech course, a 120-year-old hot spring inn course, a beach resort healing course) is prepared with music.
For example, in a hot spring inn course that has been in business for 120 years, there is a poem story and music by a landlady at a hot spring inn, and massage is performed in synchronization with the music tempo. This allows the mind and body to be refreshed with a sound and fir ball massage.
[0037]
In the basic course, although there is no three-dimensional sound, normal massage can be received, and the operation content of the ball (rolling, hitting, raising, lowering), operation in each movement range of the fir ball (upper body, neck / shoulder, waist) The content is a combination of the number of times, the operation time, the rolling width, and the strength. As a result, the course can be selected according to the fatigued part felt by the user. These course contents are stored in the storage device of the chair control unit.
[0038]
When the user presses the favorite course selection button 13, a course selection signal is sent to the control unit 40, and the control unit 40 detects which course has been selected. The control unit 40 sends a reclining signal to the chair control unit 41 to recline the backrest to a deep position. The chair control unit 41 operates the reclining motor according to the reclining signal, and the face position of the user leaning on the backrest unit 2. Recline the backrest portion to the position corresponding to the speaker position.
[0039]
Furthermore, the control unit 40 sends a course selection signal corresponding to the selected course to the chair control unit 41, so that the chair control unit moves the position of the fir balls up and down according to the operation order of the fir balls that match the selected course. At the same time, the massage is performed by operating the fir balls.
When the sound hybrid course is selected, a course signal is transmitted from the control unit 40 to the sound device 17 so that the sound of the selected course flows from the sound unit 17 to the speaker 27 and the sound signal is transmitted to the chair control unit 41. And the chair control unit 41 causes the fir ball to perform a movement synchronized with the music tempo. For this purpose, a power signal for a musical instrument is used to convert the sound signal, and then the ball is instantaneously operated, stopped, and controlled.
[0040]
Alternatively, the operation content of the mimi ball in accordance with the music is stored in the storage unit 42 of the chair control unit, and a course selection signal is sent to the chair control unit 41 simultaneously with the start signal from the control unit 40 to the sound device 17, The operation of the fir ball of the course stored in the storage device 42 of the control unit may be performed to perform the fir ball operation synchronized with the music.
[0041]
When the basic course is selected, a course selection signal is sent from the control unit 40 to the chair control unit 41 to cause the operation of the paddle ball of the course stored in the storage device 42 of the chair control unit.
The massage machine main body 1 has a reclining motor 9a for operating a reclining mechanism 9 for tilting the backrest from a shallow position to a deep position, a feed screw operation motor 8a for moving a fir ball up and down the backrest portion, and a motor 8b for moving the fir ball to perform massage. Yes, each motor 8a, 8b, 9a is operated by a motor control signal from the chair control unit 41. The motor control signal is prepared for each course stored in the storage device 42 of the chair control unit.
[0042]
The control unit 40 sends a course selection signal to the chair control unit 41 and indicates the remaining time on the timer display unit 15. During the operation of the massage machine, the lamp of the emergency stop button 14 is lit, and the input of the emergency stop button 14 is awaited. When the emergency stop button 14 is pressed, the control unit 40 issues a stop signal to the chair control unit 41 to stop the operation of the rice ball on the spot.
Normally, the massage user receives a massage along the course selected by pressing the select button, but the massage machine itself is for some reason, such as heating of the motor due to overload, the drive circuit is cut off by the safety circuit, Operation stops.
[0043]
Hereinafter, a case where the user performs a stop operation while the massage machine is operating will be described with reference to a flowchart at the time of operating the emergency stop switch in FIG. 5.
When the user falls into an emergency or stops operating the massage machine when he or she feels an abnormality in the operation of the massage machine, the backrest 2 is deeply inclined and receiving a massage. There is an emergency stop button 14 at the bottom of the operation panel, and the user can touch it by extending his right hand in that state. Therefore, when the user receiving the massage presses the lit emergency stop button 14 with the right hand during the massage (step 50), a stop signal is transmitted to the control unit 40, and the control unit 40 transmits the stop signal to the chair control unit 41. A stop signal is issued, the chair controller stops driving the operating massage motor, and the controller 40 blinks the emergency stop button (step 51).
[0044]
Next, when the user who has stopped the massage machine escapes from his / her own emergency, by pressing the emergency stop button 41 again (step 52), an end signal is transmitted to the control unit 40. An end signal is sent to the chair control unit 41.
If the emergency stop button 14 is not pressed again in step 52, the process waits until the remaining time on the timer display section has elapsed (step 53), and the emergency stop button is pressed again or the same or the remaining time has elapsed. Sends an end signal to the chair control unit 41 in the same manner as when the emergency stop button is pressed.
[0045]
When the end signal is sent in step 52 or step 53, the chair control unit 41 drives the reclining motor to return the backrest 2 to the home position shallowly inclined (step 54). The reclining motor is driven until returning to the home position (step 55). When the home position is reached, the blinking of the emergency stop button is turned off, and the idle mode for waiting for the next customer is entered (step 56).
[0046]
As described above, the emergency stop button is a two-step operation of one button, and the first operation does not move the backrest to the home position from the stop of the massage by the first operation. Even if the user is in danger, the user is not forced to move, and the user can, at his own discretion, have time to move the backrest. Since this emergency stop button is a single button, the operation can be safely performed without confusing the order of the first operation and the second operation.
In addition, by installing a patrol light etc. on the coin insertion machine etc. that operates at the time of emergency stop, at the same time as pressing the first emergency stop button, seeking help by flashing the siren and light outside the second emergency stop button , The operation of the patrol light may be stopped.
This makes it easier for outsiders to notice that an emergency has occurred due to the flashing light of the patrol lights and the siren sound, and can seek help.
[0047]
FIG. 6 shows a part of a flowchart for waking up a user who has become comfortable and slept during a normal end operation.
When the normal selection course is completed as usual (step 60), the chair control unit drives the reclining motor (step 61) until the backrest 2 returns to the original shallowly inclined state (step 62). Operate the motor.
Then, the backrest returns to the initial home position, and the fir-ball is protruded forward (step 63) to assist the user in leaving the backrest 2. This allows the sleeping user to be woken up by the fir ball hitting his back, thereby completing the operation.
[0048]
FIG. 7 shows a flowchart for waking up a user who has fallen asleep deeply. A human detection sensor 43 for detecting whether or not there is a person in the massage machine main body is provided in the coin insertion machine, and whether or not a user enters the seat 3 is detected by a reflection type sensor or the like, and even though the massage is completed, If it is detected that a person is present, the massage is thought to be comfortable and falling asleep.
[0049]
In this case, the process up to step 63 is the same as that of FIG. 6, and waits for a lapse of a predetermined time, which is the time when the backrest 2 returns to the home position and normally leaves after returning to the home position (step 64). If a coin has been inserted into the coin inserter, the process jumps to the course selection mode. If no coin has been inserted and a predetermined time has elapsed, it is determined whether or not the human detection sensor 43 remains on (step 66). If the human detection sensor 43 detects that the user is not away from the massage machine, the sound of a bell or siren, or the sound of a call, which wakes the user using the speaker provided on the coin insertion machine or the speaker used in the selected course. Is issued (step 67), the fir ball is operated again, and the user hits the shoulder and raises (step 63).
[0050]
During that time, a waking sound is generated, and the process ends when the human detection sensor 43 detects that the user has left after a predetermined time has elapsed in step 64 (step 66).
Thus, the sleeping user wakes up with the shoulder tapping motion and the sound until the user goes away from the massage machine. If this does not occur, the user can wake up by increasing the sound volume.
[0051]
As described above, in the present invention, in the curing operation type massage machine, if the customer wants to stop the massage on the way for some reason, by pressing the emergency stop button once, the operation of the massage machine stops in that state, If the user is undergoing some kind of body modulation, the user will not be forced to move, so that the user will not be harmed.
Further, the user presses the emergency stop button again after considering his / her own safety, thereby returning the backrest from the deeply inclined state to the shallowly inclined state, so that the user can escape safely.
[0052]
Furthermore, in the present application, when the user has completed one massage course and has returned the backrest to the home position, the user also protrudes the millet ball toward the user's back at a position that makes the user feel uncomfortable, and Recognize to push away from the massager. This allows the user to recognize the end of the massage, so that the user can easily stand after the end of the massage. This has the function of stimulating the back of a user who has fallen asleep after feeling comfortable with a massage, thereby promoting awakening. In addition, since the paddy ball protrudes to a position where a sense of incongruity is felt, not only is it easy to stand up, but also a person who cannot stand up cannot sit for a long time.
[0053]
In addition, in addition to the above, a wake-up sound is added to a user who is comfortable and falls into a deep sleep during the massage. As a result, the user can receive a massage with peace of mind even during a limited time such as lunch break.
[0054]
