Description

  The present invention relates to a massage machine for performing massage on a user.

  Conventionally, a massage machine having a button for changing the massage strength of the massage machine at once has been proposed. (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2010-172598, hereinafter, Patent Document 1) The massage machine disclosed in Patent Document 1 performs a massage operation on the human body by changing the amount of protrusion of the treatment element toward the human body and makes the massage strength variable. In addition, at least two operation units for adjusting the strength of the massage are provided, and a control unit for controlling the operation of the treatment element according to a combination of strength settings individually set by each operation unit is provided. Is described. Note that the strength of the combined massage is performed by operating the operation unit 51 for coarse adjustment and the operation unit 52 for fine adjustment to change the front-rear position direction of the treatment element. When the rough adjustment operation unit 51 has a strength of 3 (7 mm) and the fine adjustment operation unit 52 has a strength of 2 (2 mm), the adjustment distance of the treatment element to the front side is 9 mm. As described above, there has been proposed a method of controlling the operation of the treatment element according to the combination of the massage strength settings individually set by the respective operation units.

In the adjustment of the massage strength, the parameter adjusted by one massage strength adjustment operation unit and the parameter adjusted by the other massage strength adjustment operation unit are the same type of parameters. In such a combination of parameter settings of the same type, a good part and a bad part are generated depending on the treatment site. For example, if you want to give strong treatment to the lower back part, the lower back part has a rounded shape. When it is desired to perform strong treatment, if the treatment element is protruded, the head is lifted with the neck, treatment is difficult to stabilize, and as a result, a good experience cannot be given. Thus, depending on the part, it may not be good to combine the same type of parameters.
In addition, when trying to perform a massage with good sensation by combining different types of parameters, it is difficult to understand which type of massage operation parameters should be combined depending on the part, and operation to select from multiple buttons There are many times and it is very troublesome.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-197206 (hereinafter referred to as Patent Document 2) includes a switch for shifting the strength of the entire treatment operation during the automatic course in a downward direction, and the strength of the whole treatment operation during the automatic course. It is disclosed that a switch for shifting in the upward direction is provided. Moreover, it is the whole treatment operation during the course, and the intensity of various actions is changed, but the adjustment of the intensity is performed by changing the parameter of the amount of allowance. Only by changing the parameter of the amount of allowance, depending on the treatment site, a portion with a strong treatment feeling and a weak portion will appear.

By setting it as such a structure, the intensity | strength of massage operation | movement can also be changed. Moreover, since the batch adjustment is possible, the user does not have to bother.

The collective operation means changes a moving speed when the pair of left and right treatment elements approach each other to a lower speed than before operating the collective operation means.
By setting it as such a structure, the intensity | strength of massage operation | movement can also be changed. Specifically, since the time for the state in which the pair of treatment elements are close to each other becomes longer, it is possible to perform a massage with a strong sensation as a sensation in the treatment area. Moreover, since the batch adjustment is possible, the user does not have to bother.

  The troublesome parameter setting for massage operation is eliminated by operating the strengths of parameters for multiple massage operations at once. Moreover, since the intensity | strength of massage operation | movement can be changed by changing several types of parameters with a collective operation part, the massage machine which performs a massage with a bodily sensation to a treatment part is provided.

[Batch operation section (batch operation means)]
The collective operation means (hereinafter, collective operation unit 75) shown in FIG. 6 adjusts the massage strength experienced by the user by collectively operating a plurality of parameters of a plurality of massage operations. The collective operation unit 75 can change a plurality of parameters at once and changes each parameter for each treatment site. In the setting of the parameters of the collective operation unit 75, an operation signal is transmitted to the control unit 6 by the operation of the collective operation unit 75, and the control unit 6 determines the treatment site and sets a plurality of parameters according to the treatment site. change.
The plurality of parameters changed by the operation of the collective operation unit 75 refers to the parameters shown in FIGS. 7 to 22, and each parameter is changed according to the treatment site. When the collective operation unit 75 is operated, the control unit 6 uses the lift position detection sensor 56 that detects the rotation speed of the motor and detects the vertical position of the treatment mechanism 5 as the treatment site determination means, The treatment position is estimated from the detected shoulder position by the shoulder position detection sensor 61. The controller 6 sets a plurality of parameter values for each treatment site according to the estimated treatment site, and performs massage. Moreover, the control part 6 changes the value of each parameter by discriminating a massage operation | movement. The control part 6 has a memory part which memorize | stores each parameter of each massage operation | movement, and changes the parameter according to treatment operation | movement.

  The collective operation unit 75 may collectively operate a plurality of types of parameters including other parameters different from the protrusion amount of the advance / retreat drive unit 53 as one parameter operated by the individual operation means 74. When the collective operation unit 75 is operated, the control unit 6 collectively changes the values of a plurality of types of parameters including other different parameters according to the treatment site or the treatment operation. This is because, depending on the treatment site or treatment operation, it may be better not to change the value of the same parameter as the parameter changed by the individual operation means (individual operation unit 74). For example, when the protrusion operation unit 74a for operating the back and forth movement of the treatment mechanism 5 is operated at the neck and the collective operation unit 75 is operated, parameters different from the parameters of the protrusion operation unit 74a are operated in a lump. To do. When treatment is performed with the treatment mechanism 5 projecting from the neck, the head is pushed up together with the pressure of the neck, which makes the treatment feel worse. Therefore, at the neck, the treatment mechanism 5 is not moved forward, and parameters different from the parameters relating to the protrusion of the treatment mechanism 5 are collectively operated.

In addition, the collective operation unit 75 may perform collective operations on parameters of other massage operations that are different from the parameters of one massage operation. When the collective operation unit 75 is operated, the control unit 6 estimates the massage operation from the parameters of the current massage operation, and parameters of other massage operations that are different from the parameters of the currently performed massage operation. Perform batch operations.
For example, when the current massage operation is a massage operation that performs forward bending stretch, the parameters of the backrest actuator 45 and the footrest actuator 37 that perform the forward bending operation are not changed, and the protrusion amount of the treatment mechanism 5 is not changed. And the parameters of the left and right seat pressing portions 21L and 21R of the seat portion 2 are operated.

  The collective operation unit 75 may collectively operate other parameters different from one parameter of one massage operation operated by the individual operation means 74 and other massage operation parameters. For example, when the parameter set by the individual operation unit 74 is equal to the parameter changed by the control unit 6, the parameters of the other massage operation different from the one parameter of the one massage operation operated by the individual operation unit 74 are collectively displayed. Manipulate.

FIG. 7 is a diagram when the individual operation unit 74 a and the collective operation unit 75 for the protrusion operation of the treatment mechanism 5 are operated. FIG. 7A is a diagram illustrating parameters of the projecting operation before operating the operation unit 74a for the individual operation of the projecting operation and the collective operation unit 75, and FIG. 7B is an operation of the operation unit 74a for the individual operation of the projecting operation. It is a figure which shows the parameter of the subsequent protrusion amount. FIG. 7 c is a diagram showing a plurality of parameters related to the protrusion operation after operating the collective operation unit 75.
As shown in FIG. 7b, the protrusion amount parameter is changed from the value shown in FIG. 7a to the value shown in FIG.

By operating the individual operation unit 74a for the protrusion operation of the treatment mechanism 5, the parameter of the protrusion amount is changed. When the protrusion amount is changed in the direction toward the body, the treatment unit 55 shown in FIG. 3 is pushed out by the advance / retreat drive unit 53 and the treatment element 51 is protruded. When the collective operation unit 75 is operated, parameters of the protrusion operation different from the protrusion amount operated by the individual operation unit 74a and the parameter of the protrusion amount operated by the individual operation unit 74a are collectively operated. Alternatively, only the parameters of the protruding motion that are different from the parameters operated by the individual operation unit 74a may be collectively operated. By operating the collective operation unit 75, the parameters of the protrusion maintenance time, the number of protrusions, and the protrusion speed, which are the operations of the treatment element 51 of the advance / retreat drive unit 53, are longer and larger in FIG. 7c than in FIGS. 7a and 7b. Set fast. At this time, the advancing / retreating drive unit 53 treats the treatment unit 55 with the projection amount, the projection maintenance time, the number of projections, and the projection speed according to the parameters changed by the individual operation unit 74a and the collective operation unit 75. .

When the user operates the individual operation unit 74a and massages the neck, the collective operation unit 75 is operated to maintain the protrusion “amount” and the protrusion, which are parameters related to the protrusion. The “time”, the “number of times” of protrusions, and the “speed” of protrusions are changed, and a massage that makes it easy to feel treatment can be performed on the neck. Further, the parameter operated by the collective operation unit 75 may be only the parameter of the protrusion operation different from the parameter operated by the individual operation unit 74a excluding the protrusion amount.
The treated area includes a portion where it is easy to feel treatment and a portion where it is difficult to feel treatment, and it may be difficult to feel treatment just by adjusting the protrusion amount. Therefore, a collective operation unit 75 that can collectively operate parameters related to the protrusion operation may be provided so that the treatment feeling can be strengthened according to the treatment site or the treatment operation. In addition, although the operation part of the parameter regarding protrusion may be provided individually, the operation part of the operating device 7 will increase. In addition, since it is very troublesome to individually operate the parameters related to the protrusions, it is preferable that the parameters can be operated collectively.

8, 13, and 15 to 22, the contraction time of the air cell is changed by changing the time of the exhaust state by controlling the supply / exhaust valve. Air is always supplied during treatment in the air cell. Therefore, if the contraction time is short, the air supply time to the air cell becomes long and a “strong” experience is obtained. If the contraction time is long, the air supply time to the air cell is shortened and a “weak” feel is obtained. In addition, the parameter of the number of contractions changes the number of contractions of the air cell by changing the number of times the exhaust state is reached. By reducing the number of air cell exhausts, a “strong” experience can be achieved, and by increasing the number of air cell exhausts, a “weak” experience can be achieved. The expansion speed parameter indicates the flow rate of the air pump, and the expansion speed is changed by changing the flow rate of the air pump. The parameter of the contraction speed indicates the opening / closing degree of the exhaust side valve of the supply / exhaust valve, and the contraction speed of the air cell is changed by changing the opening / closing degree of the exhaust side valve of the supply / exhaust valve.

On the other hand, it is possible to perform a massage that makes it easy to feel treatment. In addition, the treatment portion includes a portion where it is easy to feel treatment and a portion where it is difficult to feel treatment, and it may be difficult to feel treatment just by adjusting the contraction time (the expansion amount of the air cell). Therefore, a collective operation unit 75 capable of collectively operating parameters related to expansion and contraction is provided so that the treatment feeling can be strengthened according to the treatment site or treatment operation. In addition, although the operation part of the parameter regarding expansion | swelling and shrinkage | contraction of an air cell may be provided separately, the operation part of the operating device 7 will increase. In addition, since it is very troublesome to individually operate the parameters related to expansion and contraction, it is preferable that the parameters can be operated collectively.

The example of FIG. 13 is a diagram in which parameters of a plurality of massage operations are collectively adjusted. FIG. 13 a is a diagram showing parameters of each massage operation before operating the individual operation unit 74 and the collective operation unit 75, and FIG. 13 b is a diagram in which one of the individual operation units 74 is operated.

When the collective operation portion 75 is operated, as shown in FIG. 18, the treatment portions 21L and 21R provided on the side of the seat portion shorten the “time” during which the air cell contracts, and increase the “speed” of expansion. The “speed” of contraction is slowed down. The rolling massage by the lifting operation of the treatment mechanism 5 increases the “number of times” of the lifting operation and increases the “speed” of the lifting operation. In the parameters related to the stagnation operation, the “speed” at which the stagnation operation is performed is slow, and the “time” at which the stagnation operation is performed is long. The parameters for changing the reclining angle of the backrest part 4 include a large “amount” for changing the angle of the backrest part 4, a long “time” for maintaining the angle of the backrest part 4, and an angle change of the backrest part 4. The “number of times” is small, and the “speed” of changing the angle of the backrest 4 is slowed down.

After such an operation is repeated a plurality of times, control is performed to change the operation so that the reclining angle is deep, the reclining speed is slow, and the reclining frequency is reduced.

Further, the course content may be changed by operating the collective operation unit 75. Usually, when performing forward bending stretch, the backrest 4 is placed in the most tilted state and the footrest 3 is rotated upward to the height of the seating surface of the seat 2 and the backrest in the above state A second operation for raising the arm 4 until it reaches the most upright state, a third operation for raising the treatment mechanism 5 from below the backrest 4 and stopping the treatment mechanism 5 at a predetermined position, and a treatment for the treatment mechanism 5. The forward bending stretch is performed by sequentially performing the fourth operation for projecting the child 51. At this time, a fifth operation of pressing the buttocks and thighs of the user from the side with the seat pressing portions 21L and 21R provided on the side of the seat portion 2, and the leg pressing portion disposed on the footrest 3 The sixth operation of pressing the legs of the user from the side with the foot pressing portions 33L, 33R and 31L, 31R, 32L, 32R operates at a predetermined timing according to the course program.
When the collective operation unit 75 is operated, the fifth operation and the sixth operation are performed after the completion of the first operation, and the lower body of the user is restrained. Next, the third operation is performed during the second operation, and the fourth operation is performed. The fifth and sixth operations are executed while the second to fourth operations are being performed.
By performing the collective operation in this way, a good experience can be given to the user. Further, this adjustment is performed for each treatment site or treatment operation, and is programmed so as to give a good experience to the user.

  Further, by combining a plurality of massage operation parameters, a strong force may be applied to the treatment site unexpectedly. For example, when treatment of the shoulder portion is performed by the upper arm pressing portions 44L and 44R, when the treatment mechanism 5 of the backrest portion moves up and down and the treatment element 51 protrudes, the upper arm pressing portions 44L and 44R The body of the user who is fixed to the side of the shoulder becomes a bow, and suddenly strong force is applied. The user feels pain because he does not expect such movement. If the massage operation parameters are simply combined, too much force is applied to the treatment site, and the collective operation unit 75 collectively controls a plurality of parameters for each treatment site or treatment operation. Thus, since the parameters of a plurality of massage operations to be combined are set, the user can receive a massage with a good physical experience, and the treatment site is not unexpectedly applied with too much force. Moreover, since a massage with a good bodily sensation can be received by operating one operation unit, troublesome operations are not performed.

23 and 24 are diagrams showing the operation of the treatment element 51 of the chair type massage machine 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 23A shows a pair of left and right upper treatment elements 51 provided in the treatment mechanism 5, and shows an operation locus of the treatment element 51. Further, the movement locus is such that the pair of left and right upper treatment elements 51 operate in a substantially circular shape. In addition, it is preferable that the rotation direction is freely rotatable and reversible. FIG. 23B shows a first position where the pair of left and right upper treatment elements 51 provided in the treatment mechanism 5 are the most separated. FIG. 23C shows a second position where the pair of left and right upper treatment elements 51 provided in the treatment mechanism 5 are close to each other by a predetermined distance from the most distant first position. FIG. 23D shows the third position where the pair of left and right upper treatment elements 51 provided in the treatment mechanism 5 are closest to each other. FIG. 23 (e) shows a fourth position in which the pair of left and right upper treatment elements 51 provided in the treatment mechanism 5 are separated from each other by a predetermined distance from the closest third position.
FIG. 24 shows the moving speed of the treatment element from the first position through the second to fourth positions and again to the first position. FIG. 24A shows that the treatment element 51 before the collective operation unit 75 is operated returns from the first position to the first position through the second position, the third position, and the fourth position in a substantially circular locus. The moving speed of the treatment element 51 until it comes is shown. Further, during the stagnation operation, the operation of returning from the first position to the first position again through the second position, the third position, and the fourth position is repeated with a substantially circular locus. FIG. 24B shows the moving speed of the treatment element 51 when the treatment element 51 is moved in a substantially circular shape after the collective operation unit 75 is operated. In FIG. 24 (b), unlike FIG. 24 (a), the moving speed of the treatment element 51 is gradually changed during the movement from the second position to the third position, and from the third position to the fourth position. The moving speed of the treatment element 51 is gradually changed during the movement. In FIG. 24, the moving speed of the treatment element 51 indicates that “6” is the fastest and “1” is the slowest.

As shown in FIG. 23 (a), the treatment element 51 of the treatment mechanism 5 moves in a substantially circular shape and performs a rubbing action on the user. This stagnation operation includes a stagnation operation drive source (not shown) of the treatment mechanism 5, a drive transmission mechanism (not shown) that transmits a driving force from the stagnation operation drive source, and a stagnation connected to the drive transmission mechanism. A support arm 52 having a shaft (not shown), a declination portion (not shown) that is deviated in the middle of the stagnation shaft, and a treatment element 51 fixed to the declination portion, This is performed by a sensor unit (not shown) that counts the number of rotations of the stagnation shaft and a control unit 6 that controls the stagnation operation. By setting it as such a structure, the treatment element 51 can be operated with a substantially circular locus.
The sensor unit is provided as means for detecting the proximity / separation state between the treatment elements 51 (specifically, the first position to the fourth position described above). The sensor unit is composed of a Hall IC that detects magnetism, and the magnet is fixed to the stagnation shaft. The Hall IC detects the magnetism of a magnet that rotates with the stagnation shaft. With this configuration, the number of rotations of the stagnation shaft is detected. Further, the control unit 6 determines the proximity / separation state of the pair of left and right treatment elements 51 depending on how many times the shaft is rotated.

FIG. 24A shows the moving speed of the treatment element 51 when the treatment element 51 is moved in a substantially circular shape before the collective operation unit 75 is operated. In FIG. 24A, the treatment element 51 is moved at a moving speed of “5” from the first position until it returns to the first position again. Here, the moving speed of the treatment element 51 is uniform. FIG. 24B shows the moving speed of the treatment element 51 when the treatment element 51 is moved in a substantially circular shape when the collective operation unit 75 is operated so as to enhance the bodily sensation. The moving speed of the treatment element 51 from the first position to the second position is set to “5”, and the movement speed of the treatment element 51 from the second position to the third position is gradually reduced to the third speed. The moving speed when reaching the position is set to “1”. The moving speed of the treatment element 51 from the third position to the fourth position is gradually increased, and the moving speed when reaching the fourth position is set to “5”. The moving speed of the treatment element 51 to the position is set to “5”. With this configuration, it is possible to change the moving speed in a part of a substantially circular one-cycle locus with respect to the treatment element 51 that performs the stagnation operation along the substantially circular locus. In this way, when the pair of left and right treatment elements 51 are brought close to each other, the treatment element 51 moves more slowly than before the collective operation unit 75 is operated, so that the feeling is good (specifically, the feeling is stronger). You can get a massage. Further, in FIG. 24B, by changing the moving speed of the treatment element 51 from “5” to “1”, the massage is performed more strongly as a bodily sensation, but the bodily sensation is weak. Thus, when the collective operation unit 75 is operated, the moving speed of the treatment element 51 is changed so as to gradually increase from “5” to “6” from the second position to the third position, for example. May be. Thus, by moving the treatment element 51 at a speed faster than before the collective operation unit 75 is operated, the sensation is weakened and gentle massage can be performed.
Moreover, since such operation | movement can be operated with one operation part by the collective operation part 75, a massage with a bodily sensation can be received and troublesome operation is not performed.
Note that FIG. 24 shows a diagram in which the moving speed of the treatment element 51 is gradually decreased. However, as another method, the treatment element 51 is not changed gradually and the treatment element 51 is in the second position. The treatment element 51 may be moved at once by changing the movement speed of the treatment element 51 from “5” to “1”, or when the treatment element 51 reaches the second position, the operation of the treatment element 51 is temporarily stopped. Then, the speed of “5” may be switched to the speed of “1”.
As another method, the moving speed of the treatment element moving from the third position through the fourth position to the first position is gradually changed from “1” to “5”, and the first position is changed from the first position to the first position. The moving speed of the treatment element that passes through the second position and moves to the third position may be gradually changed from “5” to “1”.

  The present invention is applicable to the massage machine 1 provided with an operation unit for collectively operating a plurality of massage operation parameters.
