  [Memory Registration] Memory registration for assigning body information such as the selected automatic course and point navigation information to the memory button 21a can also be performed, and the use operation will be described below. In memory registration, first, an appropriate button is selected from a plurality of memory buttons 21a, and the user is pressed long. The remote control unit 24 detects the long press of the memory button 21 a and displays an automatic course selection screen on the display means 22 via the display control unit 23. The user operates the selection key 21m to select the automatic course in the same manner as the operation for executing the automatic course on the screen, and determines the automatic course with the decision button 21n. Then, as in the case where the automatic course is executed, the backrest 1 reclines and performs point navigation, and the automatic course treatment is started. During treatment, the kneading ball strength button 12b, the kneading ball speed button 12c, the repeat button 12d, the skip button 12e, and the pulse button 12f can be operated in the same manner, and each massage constituting the automatic course is associated with the operation. Then, the control unit 40 temporarily stores the information as memory registration information on the memory. When the treatment of the automatic course is completed, the remote control unit 24 displays on the display unit 22 via the display control unit 23 a prompt to select whether or not to register the memory. If the remote control unit 24 determines that the user has selected to perform memory registration, a memory registration command is transmitted to the control unit 40. Upon receiving a memory registration command, the control unit 40 uses the memory registration information temporarily stored, the information specifying the automatic course, and the body shape information as memory registration information to the memory button 21a selected by the user at the beginning of the memory registration operation. Allocate and record in EEPROM on microcomputer.

  [Execution of treatment registered in memory] For memory registration, it is necessary to use input means arranged in the remote controller 20 such as selection of an automatic course, and it is necessary to operate the remote controller 20 (the memory on the operation panel 11) When the input means used for registration is arranged, the remote controller 20 is not necessary), and when performing the treatment registered in the memory as described below, the treatment can be received without operating the remote controller 20. . First, when the user is seated on the seat 1, the backrest 1 is not reclining, and the front operation panel 11a is positioned at the user's hand. The user presses the memory button 12a as a switch for starting the treatment corresponding to the memory button 21a for which the user has registered the memory. For example, in this embodiment, the memory button 21a of the remote controller 20 and the memory button 12a of the operation panel 11a are identified and correspond to the respective buttons “A”, “B”, “C”, and “D”. The control unit 40 receives a press of the memory button 12a via a communication cable (not shown) with the operation panels 11a and 11b, tilts the backrest unit 2, and registers memory information corresponding to the memory button 12a selected by the user. And execute the automatic course treatment of the memory registration information according to the body shape information of the memory registration information. (When the memory button 12a not registered by the user is pressed, the initial setting is performed at the time of shipment from the factory. Automatic course treatment of a predetermined body shape is performed). Therefore, for the user, the backrest 2 can recline and receive treatment registered in the memory simply by selecting the memory button 12a. During the treatment registered in the memory, the person to be treated is in the reclining operation panel 11b in the reclining state, and can appropriately operate the input means arranged on the operation panel 11b. Here, it is desirable that the reclining is automatically returned after the treatment is completed, the treatment can be completed without impairing the user's relaxed state from the beginning to the end, and the reclining is performed on the user. You can tell the end of treatment by returning.

  As described above, according to the massage machine according to the present embodiment, the operation panel 11 formed on the upper surface of the elbow support 10 can be operated in addition to the remote controller 20 in operating the massage machine. When receiving, the massage machine can be operated without disturbing the relaxed state. In particular, in the present embodiment, the operation panel 11 includes a front operation panel 11a and a reclining operation panel 11b, and an input unit to be operated by the user before reclining is arranged on the front operation panel 11a. An input means to be operated by the user after reclining on the operation panel 11b is arranged, and before the backrest part 1 reclines, the user's hand is on the front operation panel 11a and the memory button 12a can be pressed. It is easy to start the treatment registered in the memory and can promptly give instructions after sitting, and when the backrest part 1 is reclining, the user's hand is on the reclining operation panel 11b so that the treatment operation can be easily performed during the treatment. Can be changed.

  [Execution of Treatment Registered in Memory by Remote Controller] In the present embodiment, as described above, the backrest 2 is tilted by pressing the memory button 12a on the operation panel 11a and the treatment registered in the memory is executed. Similarly, by pressing the 20 memory button 21a, the backrest 2 is tilted and the treatment registered in the memory is executed. Here, when the memory button 21a is pressed, it can be configured to shift to treatment without tilting the backrest part 2, and the user can keep the remote control device 20 without reclining as it is. By waiting for an operation of depressing the explicit backrest 2, it is possible to provide a treatment that matches the use situation of the user. As described above, there is a difference between whether or not the backrest part 2 is automatically tilted after the operation between the memory button 21a and the memory button 12a, and the user can recognize and recognize the difference and operate it.

  [Reclining by Operation of Operation Panel] In the present embodiment, the backrest portion 2 is tilted by pressing the memory button 12a on the operation panel 11a, but the operation panel 11a, that is, the front side of the elbow support portion 10 is used. Even when another switch to be attached is pressed, the backrest portion 2 can be tilted. For example, after the start / storage button is attached on the operation panel 11a and the user presses the start / storage button, the massage machine is activated, and the user rests the backrest portion 2 to make the user relax. It is possible to adopt a configuration that enables a specific treatment instruction by pressing a switch attached to the operation panel 11b. In this case, the switch for instructing treatment to be attached to the operation panel 11b is operated by the user after the reclining, and the backrest is used so that the user does not wake up and check the switch as much as possible. It is desirable to be able to identify the switch by groping so that it can be operated stably while being supported by the part 2 and kept in a relaxed state. In order to be able to identify a switch by groping, for example, a method of reducing the number of treatments by reducing the number of treatments, a method of changing the shape of the switch, and a voice explanation by pressing and holding the switch for a long time A method of informing, and a method of attaching a light emitting element that emits light when pressed for each switch can be adopted.

(Second embodiment of the present invention)
The massage machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 7 is a view showing the use state of the massage machine according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 8 is an explanatory view of the main part of the operation of the massage machine according to the present embodiment.
The massage machine according to the present embodiment is configured in the same manner as the massage machine according to the first embodiment, and is directly below the elbow support part 10 so that the elbow support part 10 has a bottom surface with respect to the upper surface on which the elbow is received. The space 13 is formed, and the operation panel 14 is formed on the bottom surface of the elbow receiving portion 10. Since the operation panel 11 can be formed if the bottom surface with respect to the upper surface of the elbow receiving portion 10 can be formed, the shape of the elbow receiving portion 10 is not limited to the shape of FIG. 7, and the elbow receiving portion 10 is viewed from the right side in FIG. The right side is a square shape with an opening, but the left side can be a square shape, or it can be not only a square shape but also a shape without an opening. . By placing the operation panel 14 on the bottom surface of the elbow receiving portion 10 in this way, even when the user's hand, arm, and elbow are placed on the upper surface of the elbow receiving portion 10, the input means is erroneously pressed. This eliminates the possibility of erroneous operation.

  [Arrangement of Input Means] The operation panel 14 includes a front operation panel 14a and a reclining operation panel 14b, as in the first embodiment. The same input means is also arranged on the front operation panel 14a and the reclining operation panel 14b. Although the input means arranged are the same, compared to the first embodiment, the four memory buttons arranged on the front operation panel 14a are arranged in two rows and two columns instead of one row, The fir ball strength button 15b, fir ball speed button 15c, repeat button 15d, skip button 15e, and pulse button 15f arranged on the reclining operation panel 14b are arranged in two rows and two columns. Further, the input means is disposed as close as possible to the right end of the bottom surface of the elbow support 10. In this way, the input means is arranged as close as possible to the outer end of the bottom surface of the elbow support 10, and further, the input means is arranged in a small amount in the lateral width direction, so that the user can move the left hand as shown in FIG. When the input means is pressed with the index finger, the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger, the input means can be operated by slightly turning the hand without deeply inserting the hand into the bottom surface of the elbow receiving portion 10.

  [Labels indicating input means] On the upper surface of the elbow support portion 10, labels serving as marks of the input means are arranged at positions facing the input means arranged on the bottom surface. This label (memory button label 16a, fir ball strength button label 16b, fir ball speed button label 16c, repeat button label 16d, skip button label 16e, pulse button label 16f) may be a seal, It may be a directly colored member, a different member embedded in the elbow support 10 or the like. In this way, by arranging the label at the facing portion where the input means is arranged on the upper surface of the elbow receiving portion 10, the user can check the input means when checking the input means. It can be confirmed by just looking at the upper surface of the elbow support 10 without looking at the screen.

  About the operation of using the chair type massage machine according to the present embodiment, a portion where the user operates the operation panel 14 will be described. When the user sits on the seat 1, he / she usually places his hands, arms, and elbows on the upper surface of the elbow support 10. After sitting, the hands, arms, and elbows are put on the elbow support 10 similarly after the remote controller 20 is operated. As described above, when the hand, arm, and elbow are placed, the backrest portion 2 is reclining, and whether or not the normal palm near the wrist and the fingertip are in contact with the elbow receiving portion 10 It has become. When the operation panel 14 is operated in a relaxed state of the user, the elbow is fixed and the hand and arm can be lifted, and in the present embodiment, before the reclining and during the reclining respectively. A front operation panel 14a and an operation panel 14b for reclining are prepared, and an input means for operating near the hand is arranged in either case before reclining or during reclining. The operation panel 14 can be operated by turning only the finger to the bottom portion of the elbow support 10 while the portion near the wrist is fixed, and the relaxed state is not hindered.

  [Concavity and convexity for confirmation] In order to prevent further obstruction of the relaxed state of the user, when the user operates the operation panel 14, the user should check each input means without looking at the label. Is preferred. Therefore, in place of the label, it is also possible to form an unevenness that can identify the input means on the face of the input means on the upper surface of each elbow receiving portion 10. As the unevenness, there are −, ○, Δ, □, ×, etc. as a planar shape. By forming such irregularities for confirming the input means, the user can confirm the input means by touching the upper surface of the elbow receiving portion 10 by groping, and does not disturb the relaxed state. .

  [Voice Explanation for Confirmation] Similarly, a voice explanation can be adopted as a confirmation method of the input means instead of the label for preventing the user from relaxing more relaxed. When the normal operation is instructed to the input means, the normal user presses the input means once. There are operations other than the normal operation by such input means as the output voice trigger for confirmation. For example, the confirmation voice explanation can be output by pressing the input unit twice or continuously pressing the input unit twice. In this way, by operating the same input means differently, normal instructions are given or explanation voices are output, so after pressing the input means twice and listening to confirmation voice explanations, By pressing the input means once without releasing the finger that is in contact with the input means, it is possible to give an instruction by performing a normal operation, and it is possible to continuously give confirmation and operation instructions.

  [Arrangement of Input Means on Elbow Receiving Portion Bottom Treatment Side] In the present embodiment, the input means is arranged outside the bottom surface of the elbow receiving portion 10, and the input means is the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger among the fingers of the hand. Although it is said that it is operated, the input means can be arranged inside the bottom surface of the elbow support 10 and the operation with the thumb can be performed. In this case, since the thumb is not longer than the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger, it is desirable to arrange the input means in only one row as much as possible rather than arranging a plurality of input means. However, it also depends on the size of the input means.

(Third embodiment of the present invention)
The massage machine according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9: shows the principal part sectional drawing and principal part top view of the elbow receiving part of the massage machine which concern on this embodiment.
The massage machine according to the present embodiment is configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and the operation panel 18 is formed on the upper surface of a separate moving object, and performs a guiding function along the elbow support 10 by rolling motion. This is a different configuration.

  The moving object 17 includes a carriage 17d having an operation panel 18 formed on the upper surface, an upper holding roll 17a that is a circular tool that rotates around the axle, and supports the carriage 17d, and the axle is the same as the upper holding roll. It is a circular tool that rotates, and is composed of an upper holding roll and a lower holding roll 17b that faces the upper holding roll. A rail 17c that is sandwiched between the upper holding roll 17a and the lower holding roll 17b and restricts the movement of the moving object is formed on the upper portion of the elbow support section 10. Since the moving object 17 is configured as described above, the moving object 17 can be moved back and forth with respect to the extending direction of the elbow support 10 using the rail 17c as a guide.

An operation panel is formed on the upper surface of the carriage 17d, and is connected to the control unit 40 via an electric cable (not shown) so that an input signal can be output to the control unit 40. In addition to wired communication via an electric cable, wireless communication can also be applied.
When the user sits on the seat 1, the elbow, arm, and hand are placed on the carriage 17d, and the memory button 19a, the fir ball strength button 19b, and the fir ball speed button are arranged on the operation panel 18. 19c, repeat button 19d, skip button 19e, and pulse button 19f can be operated.

  When the backrest 2 reclines, the arm is pulled in accordance with the movement of the body of the user toward the back side, and the moving object 17 moves backward in accordance with the movement. Accordingly, the relative distance between the hand, arm, elbow and the operation panel 18 does not change, and the user can operate the operation panel 18 in the same manner as before the reclining even after the reclining. It does not impede the relaxation of the user. Further, even when the reclining of the backrest 2 is returned, the arm is pushed in accordance with the movement of the body in the opposite direction to the back of the body, and the moving object 17 also moves forward in accordance with the movement. Therefore, the user can similarly operate the operation panel 18.

  As described above, in the massage machine according to the present embodiment, the operation panel 18 is formed on the upper surface of the carriage 17d, and the carriage can move back and forth on the horizontal axis of the elbow support 10, so that the backrest 2 moves. In accordance with the movement of the body of the user, the moving object carrying the hand, arm, and elbow smoothly follows and moves, and the relative distance between the hand and the operation panel 18 does not move, so that the operation panel 18 can be smoothly moved anytime. It is not necessary for the user to move his / her body or extend his / her hand for the operation, and a relaxed state can be maintained.

  [Placement of Hands Only] In the present embodiment, the elbow, arm, and hand are all placed on the upper surface of the carriage 17d. However, a configuration in which only the hand is placed may be adopted.

  [Movement of moving object by motor] In the present embodiment, the arm is pulled or pushed by the movement of the body of the user, and the moving object 17 moves accordingly. An electric motor can be provided to move the moving object 17 by driving the electric motor in accordance with the movement of the backrest part 2, and the frictional force applied to the elbows, arms and hands can be relaxed and more relaxed. Can be maintained.

(Fourth embodiment of the present invention)
A chair type massage machine according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 10 is an overall perspective view of the massage machine according to the present embodiment, FIG. 11 is a side sectional view of an essential part of the elbow receiving portion of the massage machine according to the present embodiment, and FIG. It is a graph figure of the detection signal of a press sensor at the time of setting a shaft as pressing force.

  The massage machine according to the present embodiment is configured in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and without forming the operation panel 11 on the elbow support section 10, a frame (framework) 64 that configures the elbow support section 10 and this frame. A pressure sensor 62 that generates an electrical signal corresponding to the pressure applied to the outer skin 61 located on the upper surface of the elbow receiving portion 10 is disposed between the outer skin 61 made of a synthetic leather covering 64 and the pressure sensor 62. Is output to the control unit 40 via the lead wire 63, and the control unit 40 is configured to control the operation corresponding to the output signal with respect to this output.

  The pressure sensor 62 includes a front pressure sensor 62a located on the front side of the elbow support portion and a rear pressure sensor 62b located a predetermined distance rearward from the front pressure sensor 62a. The front pressure sensor 62a is effective when the backrest 1 is not reclining, and the rear pressure sensor 62b is effective when the backrest 1 is reclining. “Effective” means that an electric signal is output to the control unit 40 even when it is not effective, but when the control unit 40 detects the output, control according to the detection is not performed. As the pressure sensor 62b, for example, a piezo element using a phenomenon in which a dielectric polarization is generated when a pressure is applied and a charge proportional to the pressure is generated, or a pressure conductive rubber in which a conductive filler is blended with silicon rubber is used. it can.

  Since the pressing sensor 62 always detects pressing, the control unit 40 can capture temporal changes in pressing force. In other words, it is possible to capture not only whether the pressure is strongly or weakly pressed, but also that the weak pressure is changed to the strong pressure, and further, the strong pressure is changed to the weak pressure, and the cycle can be further captured. .

  When the user places the pressing sensor 62 as shown in FIG. 11A, a signal is input to the control unit 40 as shown in FIG. When the user repeats the upper and lower surfaces of the elbow support 10 back and forth, it can be seen that a substantially constant weak pressing force is detected from t1 even if the user begins to rub from t1. Since the memory is shaken at intervals of 2 seconds, a small valley is formed every second. This valley is formed when the hand is moved back and forth, and when the hand returns to the rear at the front end, the hand stops for a moment and the pressing force becomes weak.

  When the user taps with his hand clasped as shown in FIG. 11B, a signal is input to the control unit 40 as shown in FIG. 12B. When the user wants to repeat the upper surface of the elbow receiving portion 10 up and down, the hand and the upper surface of the elbow receiving portion 10 come into strong contact with each other as the tapping starts from t1, and the pressing force suddenly increases from t1. The pressing force moves away from the upper surface of the receiving portion 10 and decreases rapidly. This is repeated at a cycle of about 0.5 [seconds], and a large number of sharp peaks and valleys are formed.

When the user is in the hand state of FIG. 11 (a), a signal is input to the control unit 40 as shown in FIG. 12 (c). When the user puts the palm on the upper surface of the elbow support portion 10 repeatedly, the pressing force gradually increases from the point of time t1, and then gradually decreases. It is repeated at a period of about 5 [seconds], and several peaks and valleys of a gentle curve are formed as compared with the tapping.
As shown above, the tapping and mumbling operations illustrated here are different in the waveform pattern as shown in FIG. 12, and the control unit 40 determines how the user can touch the upper surface of the elbow receiving unit 10. Can be identified.

  Next, the use operation of the massage machine according to the present embodiment will be described. The user sits on the seat 1 and presses the start / storage button 21b of the remote controller 20 to activate the massage machine. In this state, the user leans deeply on the backrest 1, closes his eyes, points to the area where the front pressure sensor 62 a of the elbow support 10 is disposed, and an electrical signal is transmitted from the front pressure sensor 62 a to the control unit 40. Is output. The control unit 40 recognizes that the operation of the user is a gesture from the input electric signal, reclines the backrest unit 2, calculates the average period of the massage, and applies the treatment with the same pressing force and this period A control signal is output to the drive unit to perform the above. By doing so, the drive unit is driven, and the user can receive the treatment with the pressing force and the cycle operated by himself / herself. Similarly, if the user performs a striking and mumbling action on the front pressure sensor 62a, the user can receive treatment with the pressing force and cycle that he / she operated.

  After the backrest part 2 is reclined, the front pressure sensor 62a is not effective, and the rear pressure sensor 62b is effective. Even if the front pressure sensor 62 is not effective, the portion where the user puts his / her hand is the arrangement area of the rear pressure sensor 62b, so that the operation can be performed without moving the hand.

  As described above, according to the massage machine according to the present embodiment, the pressure sensor is disposed on the upper surface of the elbow support unit 10, and therefore, when the user performs on the elbow support unit 10 on which the hand is placed, the press is performed. An electric signal is output from the sensor 62 to the control unit 40. The control unit 40 can identify the operation of the user from the input electric signal, and can provide treatment corresponding to the operation. It is possible to intuitively perform treatment without having to remember. Further, in this embodiment, treatment is provided in accordance with the pressing force and cycle of the operation of the user, so it is possible to perform more detailed settings while maintaining the relaxed state of the user with a simple operation. it can.

  [Operation of Rear Pressure Sensor] In this embodiment, the operation by the operation with respect to the front pressure sensor 62a and the rear pressure sensor 62b is the same, but the operation by the operation with respect to the rear pressure sensor 62 can be made different. The strength of the current treatment can be made stronger or weaker by making the motion stronger or weaker, and the current treatment cycle can be shortened or lengthened by shortening or lengthening the hitting cycle. It can also be configured. Furthermore, it can also be set as the structure which makes it stop temporarily by touching the upper surface of the elbow receiving part 10 of the arrangement | positioning area | region of the rear side press sensor 62, and returns reclining.

  [Consistency Check by Front Pressure Sensor and Rear Pressure Sensor] In the present embodiment, the front pressure sensor 62a is enabled according to the reclining state of the backrest 2 and the rear pressure sensor 62b is enabled. Both sensors can be configured to be effective, and furthermore, the control unit 40 can control the drive unit for a larger amplitude value by comparing electric signals output from both sensors. Can be operated more reliably.

  [Expansion of pressure sensor] In this embodiment, the pressure sensor 62 includes the front pressure sensor 62a and the rear pressure sensor 62b, and the two sensors are separated from each other by a predetermined distance. A continuous shape from the front end position of the front pressure sensor 62a to the rear end position of the rear pressure sensor 62b can also be used.

  [Hemispherical Operation Unit] In this embodiment, the hemispherical non-permeable film is coated, silicone gel is injected into the inside, and the hemispherical portion of the non-permeable film is covered with a skin, and this non-permeable film A configuration in which a pressure sensor is arranged between the outer skin and the outer skin (hemisphere) is arranged on the front side of both elbow receiving portions 10 so that the user can hit, bald, or touch the soft hemisphere. In such a way, the operation performed by the user in more detail is output as an electric signal to the control unit 40, and the operation of the user is performed in the same manner for the treatment site of the user. The same treatment as that required by the user can be provided. Here, the configuration of the hemispherical object is not limited as long as it is soft and convex (preferably hemispherical) as if the user is touching the human body.
