[Embodiment 1]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external shape of a massage machine 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The massage machine 1 is generally configured to include an operation device 3 for sending control commands to various massage mechanisms of the chair 2 described later on a reclining chair 2 that performs various massage operations. . The massage mechanism is built in, for example, the backrest part 4 of the chair 2 and includes a kneading ball, the operation position (vertical position, width position, strength position) of the kneading ball, and the operation speed of the kneading ball. (If it says about a fir massage operation, it is the number of fir per minute) and how to move a fir ball can be changed. The massaging mechanism includes an air massaging mechanism for massaging by expansion and contraction of an air bag, and is accommodated in a seat portion 5 of the chair 2 and a leg rest 6 that is connected to a lower front portion of the seat portion 5. Arranged.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the massage machine 1. The operation device 3 is separated from the chair 2 and can be operated by being gripped by a user. The control circuit 21 on the operating device 3 side and the control circuit 11 on the chair 2 side can communicate with each other by wire or wirelessly (by wire in FIG. 1), and in the power supply circuit 12 on the chair 2 side, The electric power created from the commercial power supply 13 is supplied to each circuit on the operation device 3 side.

  The operation device 3 includes an operation selection switch for changing how the kneading balls are moved, a switch group 22 composed of switches for the operation and various adjustments of the kneading balls, and various kinds of information regarding the selection information and the kneading balls operating positions. In addition to the display units 23 and 24 for displaying information, the control circuit 21 is composed of a microcomputer and communicates information about the operated contents and fir tree balls with the control circuit 11 on the chair 2 side. Configured.

  The switch group 22 includes an operation start switch for starting a massage operation in each mode, which will be described later, a storage switch that folds each part when the massage operation is finished, and an operation of a rice ball as described later. Selection switch, selection width, selection strength selection switch, up / down selection switch for selection, and selection speed A speed selection switch for selecting a course, an automatic course selection switch for selecting a course from various automatic courses, and a shoulder position selection switch for adjusting a shoulder position.

  When the operation is selected by the operation selection switch and the start switch is operated, the fir width selected by the width selection switch, the fir strength selected by the strength selection switch, and the fir direction selected by the up / down selection switch Thus, the kneading balls are driven at the kneading speed selected by the speed selection switch. The operation of the kneading balls includes kneading up, kneading down, tapping, spine stretching, partial spine stretching, tapping spine stretching, partial tapping spine stretching, acupressure, grasping, vibration, and the like.

  Here, for example, a specific mechanism that can realize fir and beat is shown in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-253266, and a specific mechanism that can realize fir and finger pressure is, for example, a special mechanism. A specific mechanism that can realize gripping is disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2004-16525, and for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 2001-29411 and 2001-112828.

  In addition, when the course is selected from various automatic courses by the automatic course selection switch and the start switch is operated, instead of the individual operation by the operation selection switch as described above, the map selected by the width selection switch is used. The fir ball is driven with the width and the fir strength selected by the strength selection switch. The automatic courses are pre-programmed and include an upper body course, a neck / shoulder course, a relaxation course, a refresh course, and a relax / refresh course, which will be described later.

  On the chair 2 side, a massage mechanism 14 and a microcomputer are provided, and reclining means 15 for driving the massage mechanism 14 and the backrest portion 4 up and down in response to a control command from the control circuit 21 on the operating device 3 side. The control circuit 11 to be driven, the power supply circuit 12, the operation position (vertical position, width position, strength position) of the fir ball and the operation speed of the fir ball are detected, and the detection result is sent to the control circuit 11. Various sensors 16 that are input and reflected in control are configured.

  In the above description, the operation selected by the operation device 3 and the detection target of the sensor 16 in the chair 2 are described by way of example in which the massage mechanism 14 is a kneading ball drive mechanism. Other massage mechanisms such as an air massage mechanism or a combination thereof may be used. In the case of the kneading ball drive mechanism, the massage mechanism 14 is specifically configured to include a power source such as a motor and a clutch and a drive circuit thereof, and a power transmission mechanism such as a gear train and an arm. Specifically, the air massage mechanism includes a pump, a valve, and a drive circuit thereof.

  In the massage machine 1 of the present invention, in addition to the normal mode for the purpose of loosening the stiffness of each part of the body, a relaxation mode for performing stimulation that leads the user to a relaxed state, and a refreshing level that increases the awakening level of the user And a refresh mode for performing stimulation that leads to a state.

  The relaxed state mentioned here refers to a state in which the degree of wakefulness continues for a certain period, and is distinguished from a temporary state where the degree of wakefulness is lowered. According to the present inventors' previous research, when stimulation was given to relax the user, the average time to shift to a light sleep state (stage 1) was about 3 minutes, and a deep sleep state ( It has been confirmed that the average time to move to stage 2) is about 15 minutes. And if it enters into a deep sleep state, sleep inertia will arise and it will take time to raise an arousal level, Therefore It is desirable to set the relaxation mode period from the said 3 minutes to the said 15 minutes at the longest.

  On the other hand, the refresh state here refers to a state where the level of arousal is higher than the level of wakefulness that has decreased due to the execution of the normal mode or the relaxation mode. Distinguish. It is desirable to set the refresh mode period to at least 1 minute or more and 2 minutes or more so that the degree of wakefulness once lowered can be gradually increased.

  The operation of the present embodiment will be explained. When the user selects an automatic course for the purpose of relaxing, a program composed of a normal mode and a relaxation mode is started, and the body parts are checked for stiffness. After performing massage for relaxing for about 10 minutes, massage operation for inducing a relaxed state is performed for about 5 minutes. In addition, when the user selects an automatic course for the purpose of refreshing, a program composed of a normal mode and a refresh mode is started, and a massage for relaxing the stiffness of each part of the body is performed for about 12 minutes. After doing, massage for about 3 minutes to induce refreshment. Furthermore, when the user selects an automatic course for both relaxation and refresh, the normal mode, the relaxation mode, and the refresh mode are performed for about 7 minutes, 5 minutes, and 3 minutes, respectively. It is possible to achieve multiple objectives in the course. In the course aiming at refreshing or the course aiming at both relaxation and refreshing, a refresh mode according to the present invention as described later is executed as an additional treatment operation at the end of each course, and the automatic course ends. It is supposed to be.

  Therefore, even if the wakefulness level of the user is lowered by the normal mode or the relax mode executed in the first half of the automatic course, the wakefulness level is raised by the refresh mode and the course is ended. Can be awakened and refreshed (increased autonomic nerve activity). As a result, there is no loss of awakening while the degree of arousal remains low. For example, even when using a massage machine using a short break, return to work immediately after use. Is possible.

  In addition, the automatic course for the purpose of relaxing may be composed only of the relaxation mode. Similarly, the automatic course for the purpose of refreshing and the purpose of both the relaxation and the refreshing. The automatic course does not necessarily require the normal mode. Further, the massage time is not limited to the above time.

  The specific operation contents in the relax mode and the refresh mode will be described below. First, in the relax mode, the kneading balls move to the waist position or the shoulder position, and the kneading massage operation is started at a speed of about 18 times / minute. In general, an unpleasant sensation may occur when the massage rate and the breathing rate are significantly different, but since the average breathing rate of a person is about 15 to 20 times / minute, in this embodiment, By starting the massage from a speed close to the breathing speed of the person as described above, the user is easily guided to a relaxed state.

  FIG. 3 shows a graph in which the degree of relaxation is estimated when a combination of massage operation (procedure), site, strength, speed, and the like is sequentially changed in examining massage conditions suitable for relaxation induction. The parasympathetic nerve activity level, which is an index that reflects the degree of relaxation, has a tendency to jump forward when fir massage is performed at the waist position, and it has been confirmed that this tendency is highly reproducible among a plurality of subjects.

  Fig. 4 is a graph showing the average value of parasympathetic nerve activity when a massage massage operation at the waist or shoulder position is performed for a certain period of time for the same subject. There was a tendency for the parasympathetic nerve activity to be more than the same as the shoulder position. From the above, in the present embodiment, the massage is performed for about 5 minutes at the waist position in the relax mode, so that the user can be guided to a deep relaxed state more quickly.

  Next, as with the relax mode, in the refresh mode, the massage conditions were examined by sequentially changing the combination of massage operation (procedure), site, strength, speed, etc. As shown in FIG. The tendency of the subject's heart rate to increase due to rolling was observed, and it was confirmed that this tendency was also highly reproducible among multiple subjects. In general, it is known that the heart rate rises when in the refresh state, and based on this result, in the relax mode, while moving the fir tree up and down at any time, hitting and rolling as the main basic operation massage operation Do. At this time, if you are in the relax mode before the refresh mode is started, if you go to the refresh mode and perform a stronger massage, you will be surprised by the patient whose arousal level has decreased Therefore, immediately after the start of the refresh mode, the massage operation is set to be slightly weaker. In order to make it easier for the user to perceive changes in stimulation, massage is performed by moving the knead balls up and down at any time while intermingling compound techniques such as paddling and tapping rolling. This makes it easier to guide the user who has fallen to a refreshed state.

  In the above description, the change in the massage speed or strength in the relax mode or the refresh mode is not described, but at least one of them may be changed as another embodiment of the present invention. For example, as for the relax mode, the massage speed may be gradually decreased as the treatment progresses. In general, it is well known that in the process of a person relaxing, the respiration rate gradually becomes slower than normal. By giving it to the user, it becomes possible to lead to a relaxed state more quickly.

  As a method of slowing down the massage speed, it may be changed stepwise while maintaining the speed for a certain time as shown in FIG. 6 (a), or continuously changed as shown in FIG. 6 (b). There may be. In addition, instead of the massage speed, the massage strength may be gradually reduced. In this case, the stimulus becomes weaker as the arousal level decreases, so Can be induced to relax. Furthermore, the massage speed may be decreased and the strength may be decreased at the same time. In this case, it is easier to induce a relaxed state.

  On the other hand, regarding the refresh mode, contrary to the relax mode, the massage intensity, speed, and change width (moving range of the kneading balls) may be varied. For example, as the treatment progresses, the massage speed may be gradually increased or the strength may be increased. However, the massage speed is not necessarily increased in the case of the speed but increased in the strength. ). In particular, by changing randomly, the feeling of stimulation given to the user is strengthened, and it becomes easier to lead to a refreshed state.

  In addition, as described above, the massage machine 1 according to the present embodiment performs air massage of the buttocks and the legs with the airbags housed in the seat 5 and the leg platform 6, so that the upper body and the lower half of the massage machine 1 are almost the same. Although it is possible to massage the whole body, if the massage operation of the lower body is stopped during the execution of the relax mode, for example, there is no problem that the induction to the relaxed state is prevented because the lower body massage is strong. Further, as another embodiment of the present invention, in both the relax mode and the refresh mode, by synchronizing the inflation / deflation speed and / or strength of the airbag for lower body massage with the upper body massage operation, for example, both It is possible to eliminate the uncomfortable feeling that the user feels due to the difference in the massage strength and speed, and it is easier to lead to a relaxed or refreshed state due to the synergistic effect of the synchronization of the massage operations.

  FIG. 7 is a timing chart for explaining an embodiment of a specific operation of the refresh mode according to the present invention in the massage machine 1 configured as described above. FIG. 7 shows the operation when the normal mode or the relax mode is shifted to the refresh mode, and the trigger for “ON” of the operation start is ON at the start of these modes. In the state of shifting from the normal mode or the relax mode to the refresh mode, the backrest 4 is in a reclining state by the reclining means 16 that is a driving mechanism thereof.

  From this state, first, the back stretching operation is started. When the back stretching operation is started, the kneading balls loosen even by moving up and down around the waist for a while and then gradually risen toward the shoulders to stretch the back muscles. However, in this back-stretching operation, the scoring operation by moving the pair of left and right treatment elements close to and away from each other is not performed. The backrest 4 is raised by the reclining means 15 in accordance with the rising of the kneading balls. When the backrest part 4 is raised, a hitting operation is performed, and a shiatsu operation is also performed during the hitting operation. After a while from the start of the acupressure operation, the movement of the kneading balls that have been muffled in the vicinity of the shoulder increases, and the reciprocation of the shoulder from the waist is repeated. When the hitting operation and the acupressure operation are completed at the same time, the operation is switched to the scissor operation. With the completion of the kneading operation, the spine stretching operation is also completed, the kneading balls are moved to the waist at the initial position, and the trigger for turning off the operation is turned on to end the refresh mode.

  In this way, the massage machine 1 according to the present invention causes the reclining means 15 to have a backrest in the refresh mode in a massage machine that performs treatment operations such as stretching the back, striking, acupressure, scissors, grasping, and vibration. By performing the additional treatment operation of the type, the user who is in a state where the activity of the autonomic nerve has been lowered is awakened and refreshed, without using a large-scale configuration that generates light, sound, etc. The user can be awakened and refreshed (autonomic nerve activity increased).

  In addition, as the additional treatment operation, first, stretching of the back muscles is started, and after the backrest is raised, at least one kind of treatment operation of striking, acupressure, scissors, grasping, and vibration is performed (in the above example, (Tapping, shiatsu, fir tree), so it can be refreshed particularly comfortably. Furthermore, as the additional treatment operation, a plurality of types of treatment operations are performed (in the above example, stretching the back, striking, acupressure, fir tree), and the last operation is also completed, so that this also refreshes particularly comfortably. be able to.

  Although FIG. 7 described above is an operation when the normal mode or the relaxation mode is changed to the refresh mode, for example, when only the fumigation operation is selected and finished, only the refresh mode is performed or the relaxation mode is performed. FIG. 8 shows, for example, the case where the user wakes up and performs the refresh mode only after having fallen asleep. That is, the trigger of “ON” for starting the operation is entered, this single refresh mode is started, and in the back stretching operation, after the waist has been loosened for a long time, it moves quickly to the shoulder side. Along with the movement, the hitting operation and the acupressure operation are performed, but the scissor operation is not performed, and the time of each treatment operation is shortened. In this way, the user who has been awakened is massaged lightly and is awakened more quickly.

  In addition, as in the present embodiment, at the end of the previous treatment operation, the backrest has fallen, so that the refresh mode starts, and after raising the backrest to wake up the user, It does not cause a sense of incongruity that would occur if it occurred.

  The refresh mode may be at least as shown in FIG. 9, for example. That is, at least one treatment operation is performed while changing, and the reclining means 15 is caused to back up. In the example of FIG. 9, as the treatment operation, a hitting operation is shown. In a state where the backrest is still in a tilted state, a light hitting operation is started, and as the backrest starts to be raised, stepwise or continuously. And gradually increase the strength.

  Such a refresh operation is suitable, for example, when only a refresh operation is performed using a short break time to make the user more awake. In addition to increasing the strength, the speed and change width (moving range of the kneading balls) may be increased, and as described above, the speed is fast and the strength is not limited. Fluctuation) is sufficient, and it is particularly preferable to change it randomly.

[Embodiment 2]
FIG. 10 is a timing chart for explaining an embodiment of a specific operation in the refresh mode in the massage machine according to another embodiment of the present invention. The massage machine which realizes this operation is further provided with an arousal level detection means for detecting the awakening level of the user in the configuration of the chair 2 of the massage machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. In response to the result, the control circuit 11 changes at least one of a combination of a plurality of types of additional treatment operations, an operation speed, and a treatment time.

  The arousal level detection means can be realized by means for detecting skin resistance of the hand, for example. That is, mental sweating occurs in the hand, and when relaxing, the skin dries and the resistance value increases, and conversely when waking up, the skin becomes moist and the resistance value decreases, so that the degree of arousal can be detected. Other means such as observing an electroencephalogram may be used as the arousal level detection means.

FIG. 10 shows the operation when the normal mode or the relax mode is changed to the refresh mode, similarly to the operation of FIG.
Compared with the operation of FIG. 7, if the awakening level does not increase so much even when the back stretching operation is started, the hitting operation is performed in the same manner as in FIG. 7, and the awakening level is increased to some extent by the back stretching operation. In this case, the start of the tapping operation is delayed, and the point that the tapping operation is started almost simultaneously with the acupressure operation is different.

  In this way, in response to the arousal level detection result, by changing at least one of a combination of a plurality of types of additional treatment operations, an operation speed, and a treatment time, the user is surely awakened in a short time. be able to.
