Further, FIG. 3 is a schematic side view showing a state in which the backrest portion 300 of the massage chair 100 with a breathing guidance function is upright.

In the present embodiment, when the respiratory induction treatment is performed, the backrest portion 300 is initially in a basic state of being tilted as shown in FIG. Then, after detecting that the posture of the person to be treated has become the correct posture, as shown in FIG. 3, the backrest portion 300 performs the breathing guidance treatment in a state of standing up substantially perpendicular to the ground.

Generally, as a relaxed state, in a normal chair, a state in which the backrest portion 300 is slightly inclined as shown in FIG. 2 is preferred. That is, the upper end of the backrest portion 300 is inclined to the rear side. On the other hand, in yoga, manipulative treatment, Pilates, mindfulness, meditation, etc., the basic posture is to sit in the correct posture perpendicular to the ground.

Therefore, even in the treatment of respiratory guidance, taking a deep breath slowly and quietly in the correct posture is the best way to adjust the breathing. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, by setting the backrest portion 300 to stand substantially perpendicular to the ground, the patient can efficiently perform respiratory guidance while maintaining a correct posture. ..

[Seat 200]
FIG. 4 is a schematic plan view showing an example when the seat portion 200 is viewed from above.

As shown in FIG. 4, the seat portion 200 includes a pair of load meters 210a and 210b and a seat surface sensor 220.

The pair of load meters 210a and 210b measure the left and right loads of the treated person when the treated person is seated on the seat portion 200. Further, the seat surface sensor 220 detects that the buttocks of the treated person are in contact with the backrest portion 300 when the treated person is seated on the seat portion 200. Further, the seat surface sensor 220 may be made of a load meter or an infrared detection sensor.

[Backrest 300]

As shown in FIG. 5, the backrest portion 300 has airbags 310a, to, 310f evenly arranged on the left and right sides.

The airbags 310a, to 310f in FIG. 5 treat the back of the person to be treated. In the conventional treatment device, the breathing induction treatment is performed by the solid kneading ball unit, but in the present embodiment, since the airbags 310a, to 310f are used, the tension of the treated person can be relieved. , It becomes possible to induce respiration more quickly than before.

It should be noted that a remarkable effect can be obtained by using both the airbags 310a, ~, 310f and the solid kneading ball unit instead of the airbags 310a, ~, 310f. Further, although the quickness is slightly inferior, a kneading ball unit may be used instead of the airbags 310a, to 310f.

Hereinafter, when all of the airbags 310a, to, and 310f are meant, they are abbreviated as the airbag 310.

Although it has been described that the seat surface sensor 220 is provided on the seat portion 200 as shown in FIG. 4, the seat surface sensor 220 is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 5, the seat surface sensor 220 sits on the lower side of the backrest portion 300. A surface sensor 220 may be provided.

[Posture sensor 230]
As described above, the posture sensor 230 is provided on the upper part of the backrest portion 300 (see FIG. 1).
The posture sensor 230 detects the posture of the patient by signal processing the light emitting unit that emits infrared rays, the light receiving unit that receives the infrared rays reflected from the patient, and the infrared rays received by the light receiving unit. It has a part and.

Therefore, the posture sensor 230 can estimate whether or not the posture of the upper body of the patient seated on the seat 200 is upright and the spine is in a physiologically curved posture.

Specifically, the posture sensor 230 acquires the inclination angle of the backrest portion 300, and measures the distance to the neck of the patient's body with the posture sensor 230, and determines the inclination angle of the backrest portion 300 and the inclination angle of the backrest portion 300. Based on the measurement result of the posture of the treated person, it is determined whether or not the treated person has an upright upper body posture and a physiologically curved spine.

The posture sensor 230 is not limited to the above. That is, the posture sensor 230 may detect a state in which the body of the person to be treated leans against the backrest portion 300 and is in contact with the body. Then, the backrest portion 300 may be raised in that state, and the posture of the person to be treated may be set by the backrest portion 300 so that the posture of the upper body is upright and the spine is physiologically curved.

Further, when the posture sensor 230 detects a state in which the body of the patient is in contact with the backrest 300 after setting the backrest 300 in an upright position, the patient seated on the seat 200 It may be presumed that the posture of the upper body is upright and the spine is in a physiologically curved posture. Then, if the body of the person to be treated is not in contact with the backrest portion 300, the notification unit 670 may be used for notification.

[Leg rest 900]
Next, the leg rest portion 900 supports the leg of the person to be treated. The leg rest 900 is pivotally supported at the front end of the seat 200. As a result, the leg mounting portion 900 can be rotated to raise and lower the lower end of the leg mounting portion 900.

<Internal configuration of massage chair 100 with breathing guidance function>
FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing an example of the internal configuration of the massage chair 100 with a respiratory guidance function.

As shown in FIG. 6, the massage chair 100 with a breathing guidance function includes a control unit 600, an airbag 310, a mechanical unit 620, a backrest rotation actuator 625, a leg rest rotation actuator 630, an air pump 635, and a solenoid valve 640. , Pressure sensor 650, recording unit 660, power supply circuit 665 and operation unit 700.

The control unit 600 reads and executes the program recorded in the recording unit 660 based on the operation of the operation unit 700 of the patient and / or the detection results of various sensors, so that the massage chair 100 with a breathing guidance function is used. It controls various mechanisms of. The details will be described below.

Specifically, the control unit 600 includes a mechanical unit 620, a backrest rotation actuator 625, a leg rest rotation actuator 630, and an intake / exhaust mechanism (air pump 635 and) based on the operation of the operation unit 700 of the patient. The solenoid valve 640) is controlled.

Further, based on the detection results of the load meters 210a and 210b, the seat surface sensor 220, the attitude sensor 230, and the pressure sensor 650 described above, the mechanical unit 620, the backrest rotation actuator 625, the leg rest rotation actuator 630, And control the intake / exhaust mechanism (air pump 635 and solenoid valve 640).

The operation unit 700 is a device for the patient to operate the massage chair 100 with a breathing guidance function.

The recording unit 660 is a semiconductor memory such as a ROM, a hard disk, an optical disk, or the like, and stores a control program executed by the control unit 600.

The power supply circuit 665 is a circuit that is connected to a commercial power source and supplies electric power to various mechanisms of the massage chair 100 with a respiratory guidance function.

The mechanical unit 620 is formed of a pair of treatment elements (massage balls), a vertical motion drive unit, a tapping motion drive unit, a massaging motion drive unit, and a housing. By operating each drive unit of the mechanical unit 620, the control unit 600 can move a pair of treatment elements and perform treatment on the person to be treated.

The backrest rotation actuator 625 is an actuator for rotating the backrest portion 300 at the center of the axis between the lower end portion of the backrest portion 300 and the seat portion 200. The backrest rotation actuator 625 includes a connecting member on the lower side of the backrest portion 300 and an actuator provided under the seat portion 200 to move the connecting member.

The leg-mounting portion rotation actuator 630 is an actuator that rotates the leg-mounting portion 900 around the upper end portion of the leg-mounting portion 900 and raises or lowers the lower end portion of the leg-mounting portion 900. The leg-mounting portion rotating actuator 630 includes a connecting member that connects the lower part of the seat portion 200 and the leg-mounting portion 900, and an actuator that operates the connecting member.

The air pump 635 and the solenoid valve 640 form an intake / exhaust mechanism, and cooperate with each other to take in and exhaust the airbag 310.

For example, the solenoid valve 640 is a diversion type three-way valve. The air pump 635 is connected to the valve on the input side of the solenoid valve 640 through a pipe. One valve on the output side of the solenoid valve 640 is connected to the airbag 310 through a pipe. The other valve on the output side of the solenoid valve 640 is a valve that can be opened to the atmosphere.

Further, the pressure sensor 650 is provided at a position where the internal pressure of the airbag 310 can be measured, specifically, on the outer surface of the airbag 310. The pressure sensor 650 transmits the detected pressure value to the control unit 600.

Further, when the airbag 310 is expanded, the control unit 600 controls one of the input side valve and the output side valve of the solenoid valve 640 to be in the open state and the other valve on the output side to be in the closed state. As a result, the air (gas) supplied from the air pump 635 flows into the airbag 310, and the airbag 310 can be expanded.

On the other hand, when the airbag 310 is contracted, the control unit 600 closes the valve on the input side of the solenoid valve 640 and controls both one valve on the output side and the other valve to be in the open state. As a result, the air filled in the airbag 310 passes through one valve on the output side and is released to the atmosphere from the other valve on the output side, so that the airbag 310 can be contracted.

The above internal configuration is arranged in the space formed by the seat portion 200 and the base portion 400 of the massage chair 100 with a respiratory guidance function.

<Operation of massage chair with breathing guidance function>
7 and 8 are flowcharts showing control in the massage chair 100 with a respiratory guidance function. Further, FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing details of the treatment execution control of the respiratory induction in the massage chair 100 with the respiratory induction function. Hereinafter, the operation of the massage chair 100 with a respiratory guidance function will be described with reference to FIGS. 7, 8 and 9.

The massage chair 100 with a breathing guidance function is in the state shown in FIG. 2 in the initial state. In the processes from step S100 to step S130, the control unit 600 controls the treated person to guide the treated person to take a predetermined pattern, that is, to take the correct posture. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

First, the pair of load meters 210a and 210b (see FIG. 4) detect the load of the person to be treated. The control unit 600 determines whether or not the pair of load meters 210a and 210b have detected the load (step S100).

That is, a pair of load meters 210a and 210b indicate whether or not the person to be treated is seated on the seat 200.
Is detected by.

When the control unit 600 does not determine that the pair of load meters 210a and 210b have detected the load (No in step S100), the control unit 600 waits until the pair of load meters 210a and 210b detect the load.

On the other hand, when the control unit 600 determines that the pair of load meters 210a and 210b has detected the load (Yes in step 100), the control unit 600 determines that the person to be treated is seated on the seat 200.

Next, the control unit 600 determines whether or not the buttocks of the person to be treated are in contact with the backrest 300 based on the measurement result of the seat sensor 220 (step S110). The fact that the buttocks of the treated person are in contact with the backrest portion 300 means that the treated person is seated all the way to the back (up to the connecting portion side between the seat portion 200 and the backrest portion 300). It should be noted that the contact of the buttocks with the backrest 300 does not necessarily mean only the state of complete contact, but it is sufficient that the person to be treated is substantially seated to the back even in the close state. ..

When the control unit 600 determines that the buttocks of the person to be treated are not in contact with the backrest 300 while the load meters 210a and 210b are detecting the load (No in step S110), the control unit 600 Rotates the leg-mounting portion rotation actuator 630 to raise the lower end portion of the leg-mounting portion 900 (step S111).

Subsequently, the control unit 600 notifies the notification unit 670 so that the person to be treated re-seats the seat 200 (step S112).

For example, when the height of the treated person is short, that is, when the length of the thigh of the treated person is less than or equal to the length of the seat 200 in the anteroposterior direction, the back of the knee of the treated person comes into contact with the front side of the seat. , The buttocks of the person to be treated cannot be brought into contact with the backrest 300. In this case, the lower end of the leg rest portion 900 is raised to a state where the back of the knee of the treated person can be seated without touching the front side of the seat portion, and the treated person is asked to sit back on the seat portion 200. As a result, the buttocks of the person to be treated can be easily brought into contact with the backrest 300.

Further, as a method of notification, the notification unit 670 performs notification by sound and / or notification by video, and returns to step S110 when the notification is completed.

For example, the sound notification may include outputting music prompting the user to sit and / or outputting a voice saying "Please sit down." The video notification includes displaying a video of the person being treated sitting on the seat 200 and / or displaying the sentence "Please sit down."

Next, in the control unit 600, the buttocks of the treated person are in contact with the backrest portion 300, that is, the treated person is seated to the back (up to the connecting portion between the seat portion 200 and the backrest portion 300). If it is determined that the above is true (Yes in step S110), the process proceeds to step S120.

A pair of load meters 210a and 210b measure the left and right loads of the patient. Then, the control unit 600 determines whether or not the load measured by the load meter 210a and the load measured by the load meter 210b are equal (step S120). The fact that the left and right loads of the treated person are equal means that the weight of the treated person is not tilted to either the left or right while the treated person is seated on the seat portion 200.

When the control unit 600 determines that the load measured by the load meter 210a and the load measured by the load meter 210b are not equal (No in step 120), the control unit 600 tells the person to be treated. The notification unit 670 is notified to correct the left-right inclination (step S121).

When the control unit 600 determines that the load measured by the load meter 210a and the load measured by the load meter 210b are equal (Yes in step S120), the posture sensor 230 detects the posture of the person to be treated. Based on the measurement result of the posture sensor 230, the control unit 600 determines whether or not the patient is in a posture in which the spine is physiologically curved (step S130).

Here, the posture in which the spine is physiologically curved means that the spine draws a gentle S-shaped curve, and more specifically, the neck is in the anterior bay and the back is in the back. It is a bay, and the waist (below the chest) is in the anterior bay, and when the patient is viewed from the side, the ear canal, the center of the shoulder, and the hip joint are in a straight line.

When the control unit 600 determines that the patient is not in a posture in which the spine is physiologically curved (No in step S130), the control unit 600 causes the patient to correct the posture. The notification unit 670 is notified (step S131). After the notification is completed, the process returns to step S130.

When the control unit 600 determines that the patient is in a physiologically curved posture of the spine (Yes in step S130), the control unit 600 controls the backrest rotation actuator 625. As a result, the backrest portion 300 is brought into an upright state (step S140). Specifically, the state of the backrest portion 300 shown in FIG. 2 shifts to the state of the backrest portion 300 shown in FIG.

When the patient is in a posture in which the spine is physiologically curved, the backrest portion 300 is placed in an upright state. Therefore, with the support of the backrest portion 300, the spine of the patient is physiologically curved. You can easily maintain your posture. As a result, the airway from the mouth of the treated person is in an optimum state, and the treated person can easily receive the respiratory guidance treatment in a posture in which it is easy to breathe naturally.

The control unit 600 controls the backrest rotation actuator 625 to bring the backrest portion 300 into an upright state, and then proceeds to step S150.

The control unit 600 expands and contracts the airbag 310 to perform respiratory guidance treatment by controlling the intake / exhaust mechanism having the air pump 635 and the solenoid valve 640 based on the feedback of the pressure value from the pressure sensor 650. (Step S150). The details of the respiratory induction treatment will be described later.

Subsequently, when the person to be treated wants to perform a normal massage after the respiratory induction treatment, he / she operates the operation unit 700 and selects the normal massage. The control unit 600 determines the presence or absence of a normal massage from the operation unit 700 (step S160). Here, if there is no normal massage selection (No in step S160), the control unit 600 ends the process.

On the other hand, when there is a selection of a normal massage (Yes in step S160), the control unit 600 controls the mechanical unit 620 to perform the normal massage (step S170). After performing the normal massage, the control unit 600 ends the process.

[Details of respiratory guidance treatment implementation control (step S150)]
Next, the details of the respiratory induction treatment, that is, the process of step S150 in FIG. 8 will be described.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing details of the treatment execution control of the respiratory induction in step S150 in the massage chair 100 with the respiratory induction function.

The control unit 600 controls the intake / exhaust mechanism (air pump 635 and solenoid valve 640) to repeatedly inhale and exhaust the airbag 310 to perform respiratory induction treatment on the person to be treated.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, first, the control unit 600 controls the airbags 310e and 310f to be inflated (step S151). Next, the airbags 310c and 310d are controlled to be inflated (step S152). Next, the airbags 310e and 310f are controlled to contract (step S153).

Subsequently, the airbags 310a and 310b are controlled to be inflated (step S154). Next, the airbags 310c and 310d are controlled to contract (step S155). Subsequently, the airbags 310a and 310b are controlled to be contracted (step S156).

As described above, by repeating the expansion and contraction operation of the airbags 310a, to, and 310f from the lower side to the upper side of the backrest portion 300, the patient's back is gently pushed to perform breathing induction treatment. can do.

Finally, the control unit 600 determines whether or not the patient has pressed the end button of the operation unit 700 (FIG. 6) (step S157). When it is determined that the end button of the operation unit 700 is not pressed (No in step S157), the control unit 600 repeats the process of step S151 to the process of step S157.

On the other hand, when the control unit 600 determines that the end button of the operation unit 700 has been pressed (Yes in step S157), the control for performing the respiratory guidance treatment in step S150 is terminated, and the process proceeds to step S160 in FIG.
In the present embodiment, the airbags 310a, to, and 310f are repeatedly expanded and contracted from the lower side to the upper side of the backrest portion 300, respectively, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the backrest portion 300 is not limited to this. Repeats only from above to below, or moves from bottom to top, then repeats from top to bottom, or vice versa (moves from top to bottom, then from bottom to top Repeatedly aiming).

In the respiratory guidance treatment execution control shown in FIG. 9, a notification unit 670 (see FIG. 1) that notifies the treated person of sound and / or video may be used. In addition to the respiratory guidance treatment by the airbag 310 as the treatment unit, when the notification unit 670 assists the respiratory guidance by sound and / or video, a more reliable and superior treatment effect can be obtained. As a result, the treated person can be brought into a state of relaxation at an early stage.

In the present embodiment, the seat surface sensor 220 is used, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the posture sensor 230 may provide the function of the seat surface sensor 220, and the load meters 210a and 210b are seated. It may be arranged between the portion 200 and the backrest portion 300 and may be used as a substitute for the seat sensor 220. In this case, the seat sensor 220 can be omitted.

As described above, by performing the massage according to the flowcharts of FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, the treated person can start the respiratory guidance after taking the correct posture. As a result, the person to be treated can receive the respiratory guidance treatment in the optimum posture. In addition, the person to be treated can receive treatment by massage such as normal kneading and tapping in the optimum posture. Therefore, a high treatment effect can be obtained.

In the case of the normal massage, which is the process of step S170, the backrest portion 300 may shift from the state of FIG. 3 to the state of FIG.

When sitting on a conventional massage chair, even if the patient is supposed to be in the correct posture, the patient's buttocks are not in contact with the backrest 300, or the spine is physiologically curved.
