Description

  The present invention relates to a human body vibration propagating device, and more particularly to a human body vibration propagating device built in a portable contacted body that can be in contact with a region above the lower back of the human body.

  Patent Document 1 describes a matter in which a driver unit having a predetermined shape is incorporated through two diaphragms in the center of the back of a “chair” as furniture. The driver unit converts a signal in the electrical low range generated by the sound source body into mechanical vibration in the same manner as the driver unit of the present invention. The human body vibration propagation device described in Patent Document 1 has a plate-shaped vibration transmission plate fixed to the back side of a backrest of a chair that directly contacts the body, and further has a fitting hole on the back surface of the plate-shaped vibration transmission plate. A hard plate-like diaphragm is fixedly stacked, and the driver unit is assembled into the fitting hole in a close fitting state.

  The human body vibration propagator with the above configuration is suitable for incorporation in a flat furniture such as a bed, but it cannot be applied to portable wearable devices or "stitching" that change its form. In order to expand the range, there is a problem that the upper and lower diaphragms must be formed long and wide.

  Patent Document 2 is proposed by the applicant to your office. In FIG. 3 of this Patent Document 2, there is a spring member stretched in the horizontal direction on the frame constituting the chair, and the matter of fixing the driver unit to the center of the spring member is described. The relaxation chair of Patent Document 2 has a problem that a plurality of driver units must be used in order to expand the range of the effective vibration area of the vibration propagation device.

  Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 describe a specific configuration of a vibration device that converts an electrical low-frequency signal generated by a sound source body into mechanical vibration, and the electric power of a driver unit and a similar vibration device is described. The circuit is a well-known matter.

  The intended object of the present invention is to expand the range of the effective vibration area of the vibration propagating device, to be a form-displaceable object such as a stuffed toy type or a pillow type, and to oscillate the entire portable contacted object. It can be done. The second object is to displace a vibration propagation line constituting the vibration propagation device into an arbitrary shape such as a planar shape or a three-dimensional shape, for example, a displaceable object having a curved surface, and Even if it is a portable to-be-contacted body which has a thick part, it is being able to incorporate a vibration propagation apparatus in a portable to-be-contacted body as much as possible. In addition, it is possible to propose a human body vibration propagation tool that is lighter and more realistic.

  The vibration propagating device for human body of the present invention includes a portable contact object A that can contact or contact a human body, and a vibration propagation device B that is built in the portable contact object A. The vibration propagation device B includes a disc-like fitting support body 2 having a fitting portion 15 at a central portion thereof, and is integrated into the fitting portion, and the inside of the portable contacted body or A driver unit 3 for converting an electrical signal generated by an external sound source body 6 into mechanical vibration, and a base end portion 4a attached to the outer wall of the disk-like fitting support 2 and extending radially outward. The free propagation end 4b side can be arbitrarily bent, and the vibration propagation line 4 for diffusing the vibration oscillated from the driver unit as a whole to the portable contacted body and electrically connected to the driver unit And the portable type Characterized in that it consists of the power source 5 which is provided on the contact body.

  In the above-described configuration, the vibration propagation line 4 has an U-shaped attachment in which the base end portion 4a is inserted into the plurality of attachment portions 16 formed on the peripheral side wall 21 of the disc-like fitting support 2. It is characterized by being made of a rigid material that can hold the displaced form as it is. In addition, the portable contact object A is characterized in that it is in contact with the person while it is attached to the person or by being held by the person. Furthermore, the driver unit 3 has both functions of a vibration actuator that generates vibrations and a sound actuator that emits songs, music, and voices. On the other hand, the sound source body 6 is a portable digital audio player. The digital audio player 6 is housed in a housing portion 30 provided in a portable contacted body, and can be freely connected to the driver unit via an electrical connection means. In addition, the vibration propagation line 4 includes at least two types of long and short types.

  Here, the “contacted body” is a tangible object that can contact the waist of the human body or more and can be easily transported by the human body, and the contact mode is (a) the case where the human body can be contacted, (B) Both cases where the human body can contact. The former is, for example, a wearing body such as a belt, a jumper, a thick jacket, or a rucksack, while the latter is held by a person's arm such as a stuffed toy or a pillow.

(A) Since the vibration propagation device B having the vibration propagation line 4 is incorporated in the portable contact object A that can contact the human body or can contact the human body, the range of the effective vibration area is expanded. It is possible to change the shape, such as a sewing type, a pillow type, etc., and the entire portable contact object can be used as a vibrating tool. In addition, it is possible to propose a human body vibration propagation tool with a sense of reality.
(B) Since the vibration propagation line 4 extends outward in the radial direction of the driver unit 3 and the vibration propagation line 4 has a function of transmitting the vibration of the driver unit 3 over a wide range, only one driver unit 3 is required. . Therefore, cost reduction can be achieved. Moreover, since the vibration propagation means is a “wire”, the weight can be reduced. Further, the free end portion can be bent into a locking portion. In addition, even if the vibration propagation device B is built in the portable contact object A, it does not give a “discomfort” to a person.
(C) In the invention according to claim 2, the vibration propagation line 4 is inserted into a plurality of mounting holes 16 each having a base end portion 4a formed in the peripheral side wall 2a of the disc-like fitting support 2. Since it is a U-shaped attachment in a plan view and is a rigid material that can hold a displaced, expanded, or narrowed shape in multiple directions, the vibration propagation line should be selected appropriately. Therefore, the present invention can be applied not only to a large volume, a stuffed toy, and a pillow, but also to a slightly thick jumper, a thick jacket, a backpack having a thick portion, and the like. In other words, since the vibration propagation line 4 can be formed into an arbitrary shape such as a planar shape or a three-dimensional shape, for example, it is a displaceable object having a curved property and has a thick portion and has a thick contact portion. Even if it is a body, as long as possible, a desired part of the vibration propagation line 4 can be appropriately bent, and the vibration propagation device can be incorporated in the portable contacted body.
(C) In the invention according to claim 3, since the driver unit has both functions of a vibration actuator that generates vibration and a sound actuator that emits a song, music, and sound, the driver unit is stored in the storage unit of the sound source body. Data can be used to the maximum.
(D) The invention according to claim 4 can effectively realize the effect (B).

  The best mode for carrying out the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 will be described below (first embodiment). As shown in FIG. 1, the vibration propagating instrument X for the human body according to the first embodiment includes a portable contacted body A that can be in contact with the human body or can be contacted with the human body, and the portable contacted object. The vibration propagation device B is built in the body A, and the vibration propagation device B is integrated with the disk-like fitting support body 2 having the fitting portion 15 at the center portion and the fitting portion, A driver unit 3 for converting, for example, an electrical low-frequency signal into mechanical vibration generated by a sound source body 6 provided inside or outside the portable contacted body, and an outer wall of the disk-like fitting support 2 The free end 4b side extending radially outward can be arbitrarily bent and the vibration oscillated from the driver unit is totally applied to the portable contacted body. The diffused vibration propagation line 4 and the driver Knit made of the power supply 5 which is provided on the portable contacted body with electrical connection.

  In FIG. 1, X is a human body vibration propagation tool, and the basic structure of the human body vibration propagation tool X is built into the portable contact object A in the form of a sew and a portable contact object A. Vibration propagation device B. The vibration propagation device B extends in a radially outward direction to the disk-shaped fitting support 2 incorporated in the portable contacted body A, the driver unit 3 incorporated therein, and the disk-shaped fitting support 2. It comprises a plurality of vibration propagation lines 4, a built-in power supply 5, and a sound source body 6 provided inside or outside the portable contact object A (this embodiment).

  First, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the portable contact object A is a cushioned “stitch”. The form of the stuffed toy is, for example, a person, animal, robot, or the like appearing in a cartoon, a movie, an animation, an amusement park, or the like. The form and size of the stuffed toy are not particularly limited as long as the person can easily hold them by hand.

  This portable contact object A has a thickness similar to that of an ordinary stuffed animal and has elasticity in the material itself. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the portable contact object A of this embodiment is provided with a slide fastener 11 at the center on the back side. The slide fastener 11 is composed of a pair of left and right tapes 11a, 11a having service teeth, a slider 11b for opening and closing these service teeth, and an operation piece 11c provided on the slider.

Therefore, when the operation piece 11c is pulled in the vertical direction, the opening 12 of the portable contact object A opens and closes as shown in FIG. The vibration propagation device B can be built into the portable contact body A constituting the human body vibration propagation tool X from the opening 12. However, the sound source body 6 can also be stored in a storage portion provided on the outer surface of the portable contact target A. When repairing, the main part of the device such as the disk-like fitting support 2 provided with the driver unit 3 can be taken out from the opening 12.
Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the disk-like fitting support 2 is formed into a hexagonal annular plate in a plan view, and a fitting portion 15 having an arbitrary shape is formed at the center thereof. Thus, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the fitting portion 15 includes a lower-side large-diameter hole 15a and an upper-side small-diameter hole 15b communicating with the large-diameter hole 15a. A plurality of mounting holes 16 are formed in the side wall 2 a in the circumferential direction of the disc-like fitting support 2. The number of the mounting holes 16 is, for example, 12 on each side wall in the circumferential direction forming a hexagon, so that the total number is 12 as shown in FIG.

  By the way, the shape of the disk-like fitting support 2 in a plan view is a hexagonal annular plate, but the shape is not particularly limited. Therefore, the circumferential side wall 2a may be an annular plate such as a pentagon, a triangle, a rectangle, a circle, or the like. The point is that a recess or a penetrating fitting part into which the driver unit 3 can be fitted is formed in the center part of the disk shape, and the base end of the single or plural vibration propagation lines 4 is formed on each side wall in the circumferential direction. It suffices if an attachment portion 16 such as an attachment hole (insertion hole), an insertion groove, or an elastic engagement claw piece to which the portion 4a can be attached is provided. The disk-like fitting support 2 is formed of a hard synthetic resin material (ABS or the like) in consideration of lightness.

  Next, a vibrator unit for converting a low-frequency signal into mechanical vibration, in other words, a heart driver unit 3 corresponding to an electrical signal-mechanical signal converter includes, for example, a circular or square mounting base plate 21; The mounting base plate 21 includes a circular casing 22 integrally formed on the upper surface of the mounting base plate and main members such as a permanent magnet 25 and a vibration coil 26 that convert a low-frequency signal into mechanical vibration. A plurality of through holes 24 for the fixing tool 23 are formed in the part.

As shown in FIG. 9, the casing 22 includes a permanent magnet 25, a vibration coil 26, a connection terminal 27 including a plurality of terminals, and the like. The connection terminal 27 has an input terminal 28a. The electric cord 28 on the driver unit side is connected.
As is well known, the vibration coil 26 is magnetized by passing a current (vibration signal) and generates a magnetic force, and mechanically acts on the casing 22 and the mounting base plate 21 by the magnetic interaction of the permanent magnet 25. Give a strong vibration. That is, the driver unit 3 converts a low-frequency signal generated by the sound source body 6 provided inside or outside the portable contact object A into mechanical vibration. The portable contact object A includes at least one such known, well-known and new driver unit 3.

  The driver unit 3 is assembled in a close fitting state into the fitting portion 15 of the board-like fitting support 2 and is attached to the board-like fitting support 2 via the plurality of fixing tools 23 and the through small holes 24 described above. It is fixed integrally and constitutes one vibration unit. In addition, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the square mounting base plate 21 is fitted into the large-diameter portion 15 a of the fitting portion 15 so as to be substantially flush with the small-diameter portion of the fitting portion 15. A permanent magnet 25, a vibration coil 26, and the like are built in 15b, and a circular casing 22 that is electrically connected to the built-in power supply 5 is closely united and fitted into one vibration unit.

  Next, the vibration propagation line 4 has a base end portion 4a attached to a mounting hole (insertion hole or insertion groove) 16 on the outer wall corresponding to the circumferential side wall of the driver unit 3, and is free to extend radially outward. The end 4b side can be arbitrarily bent, and the vibration oscillated from the driver unit 3 is diffused to the portable contacted body A as a whole. Since the material itself of the portable contact object A is a member having elasticity or cushioning properties, the entire material of the portable contact object A becomes an overall vibration body via the vibration propagation line 4.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 5, the vibration propagation line 4 of this embodiment is divided into the longest 4A, the shortest 4C, and the middle 4B, for example, as shown in FIG. The plate-like fitting support 2 is attached radially. In addition, the vibration propagation line 4 is an attachment having a U-shape in a plan view in which the base end portion 4a is inserted into each of a plurality of mounting holes 16 formed in the peripheral side wall 2a of the disc-like fitting support 2. In addition, it is made of a rigid material that can hold a form that has been displaced, expanded, or narrowed in multiple directions.

  Here, the displacement of the vibration propagation line 4 will be described. Since the longest 4A shown in FIG. 7 is positioned in the head of the animal, the free end portion is as similar as possible to the similar shape of the head of the animal. The 4a side is displaced outwardly in a circular shape. Moreover, since the thing 4B located in the middle is each positioned in the left and right arms and legs of the animal, the vicinity of each attachment base end 4a is appropriately bent. As a result, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the shape of the vibration propagation device B excluding the power source 5 and the sound source body 6 is in a skeleton state reminiscent of a human body.

  Finally, the sound source body 6 is a portable digital audio player. The digital audio player 6 has an IC built in the case and has a function of reproducing at least a digital music file. In the first embodiment, the digital audio player 6 is freely stored in a pocket-type storage unit 30 provided on the front surface 1 a of the portable contact object A, and communicates with the pocket-type storage unit 30. By freely connecting the electrical connection means (connection cord 6a, connector 6b) on the digital audio player 6 side to the electrical connection means (electric cord 28, input terminal 28a) on the driver unit 3 side passing through Connect. In other words, the driver unit 3 incorporated in the portable contacted body A and the portable digital audio player 6 accommodated in the pocket-type accommodation unit 30 are freely connected via both electrical connection means. .

  In the example shown in the embodiment of the invention, the vibration propagation device B can be incorporated in the portable contacted object A through the opening 12 of the portable contacted object A. Can also be provided outside (see FIG. 3). Since the portable contact object A according to the first embodiment is in the “stitched shape” form, it can be touched so that the human body can be held by an arm. The shape and thickness of the vibration propagation line 4 are matters that can be arbitrarily changed in design. Further, the driver unit 3 converts an electric signal generated by the sound source body 6 into mechanical vibration, but the electric signal may be a low-frequency signal or a high-frequency signal.

  Next, in this section, a second embodiment of the vibration propagation device B including the sound source body and another embodiment of the portable contacted body will be described. In describing each of the second embodiment and other embodiments of the portable contact object, the same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  First, FIG. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional explanatory view showing a second embodiment of the vibration propagation device B1 including a sound source body. This vibration propagation device B1 is mainly different from the vibration propagation device B of the first embodiment in that the driver unit 3A, along with the vibration actuators 25 and 26 that generate vibration in the circular casing 22A, sings, music and voices. The sound actuator 40 that releases Therefore, the sound actuator 40 has a speaker 41. When the vibration propagation device B1 of the second embodiment is built in the portable contact body A instead of the vibration propagation device B of the first embodiment, not only vibrations but also songs and music are generated from the portable contact body A. There is an advantage that sound is emitted.

  Next, FIG.11 and FIG.12 is explanatory drawing which shows the portable to-be-contacted body A1 of 2nd Example. This portable contact object A1 is a jumper or a thick jacket. Either one of the vibration propagation device B of the first embodiment or the vibration propagation device B1 of the second embodiment is incorporated in the slightly thick back surface portion of the portable contact object A1.

  By the way, the vibration propagation line 4 of the present embodiment needs to attach three types of vibration propagation lines 4A, 4B, and 4C to all attachment portions 16 of the disk-like fitting support 2 having the driver unit (3, 3A). There is no. Since the portable contact object A1 of the second embodiment is an “outer jacket type”, for example, the shortest vibration propagation line 4C and an intermediate vibration are formed in the mounting hole 16 of the peripheral side wall 2A of the disc-like fitting support 2. Propagation line 4B is appropriately selected and connected.

In addition, since there is no portion corresponding to the head in the portable portable contact body A1 of the outer coat type, the longest vibration propagation line 4A corresponding thereto is not connected to the disk-like fitting support 2. In addition, since the long sleeve portion of the portable contacted body A1 needs to move freely, the longest vibration propagation line 4A is long on the board-like fitting support 2 so that the vibration propagation line is located at the long sleeve portion. Not connected.
Note that the connecting means 28 and 28a of the driver unit (3, 3A) of the second embodiment are not drawn from the communication hole communicating with the storage portion 30, but from an appropriate portion of the upper edge portion of the portable contact object A1. It is. Thus, the connection means 28, 28a of the driver unit (3, 3A) can be pulled out from an appropriate location of the portable contact object A1.

  Next, FIGS. 13 and 14 are explanatory views showing a portable contact object A2 of the third embodiment. This portable contact object A2 is a pillow. Since the pillow-type portable contact object A2 can be held by a person's arm in the same manner as the stuffed toy portable contact object A, the pillow-type portable contact object A2 is included in the type in the case where the human body can come into contact here. ing. Therefore, either one of the vibration propagation device B of the first embodiment or the vibration propagation device B1 of the second embodiment is incorporated in the portable contact body A2.

  Further, the connecting means 28 and 28a of the driver unit (3, 3A) are pulled out from the communication hole 31 communicating with the storage unit 30, and are provided on one side wall of the pillow-type portable contacted body A2. The sound source body 6 can be stored appropriately. For example, an intermediate vibration propagation line 4B is used as the plurality of vibration propagation lines 4 constituting the vibration propagation device (B, B1). And the shape of a vibration propagation apparatus (B, B1) gives the impression of "蟹" as a whole. As described above, it is also possible to use a plurality of vibration propagation lines 4 having the same length.

  Next, FIG.15 and FIG.16 is explanatory drawing which shows the portable to-be-contacted body A3 of 4th Example. This portable contact body A3 is a slightly thick belt that can be wound around the waist or abdomen of a human body. This portable contacted body A3 also incorporates either the vibration propagation device B of the first embodiment or the vibration propagation device B1 of the second embodiment. Of the plurality of vibration propagation lines 4 constituting this vibration propagation device (B, B1), for example, only the longest pair of vibration propagation lines 4A is used on the left and right sides. It is bent inward so that it fits in the belly.

  Finally, FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 are explanatory views showing a portable contact object A4 of the fifth embodiment. This portable contact object A4 is a rucksack that a person can carry on his / her shoulder. One of the vibration propagation device B of the first embodiment and the vibration propagation device B1 of the second embodiment is built in the thick portion inside the portable contacted body A4. Three types of vibration propagation lines 4A, 4B, and 4C are appropriately selected and used as the plurality of vibration propagation lines 4 constituting the vibration propagation device (B, B1).

  As described above, the “contacted body” of the present embodiment is a tangible object that can be contacted over the waist of the human body and can be easily transported by the human body, and the contact mode is (A) contact with the human body.
