Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an automatic foot massaging device that automatically massages the sole of a foot, and in particular, a pressing portion that intermittently presses the sole of the foot moves back and forth. The present invention relates to a configuration for appropriately moving a fluid cylinder provided at the tip of a rod.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, various methods of massaging the soles of the feet have been proposed, but in recent years, in place of the massage method manually performed by humans, the practical use of a sole massaging device employing a mechanical or electrical method has been attempted. ing.

However, with any of the sole massage devices, it is impossible to perform an acupressure action like a case where acupressure is applied to a specific portion of the sole of the foot (such as an acupoint), and the sole of the foot is not Due to the presence of unevenness, it was extremely difficult to massage the entire sole of the foot with a constant pressing force.

Therefore, the present applicant has provided a pressing portion for intermittently pressing the sole of the foot at the tip of the retractable rod of the fluid cylinder,
A fluid supply / discharge circuit for supplying / discharging a working fluid to / from the fluid cylinder,
There has been proposed an automatic foot massage device provided with a pressing force control means for controlling the maximum pressing force applied to the sole of the foot from the pressing portion. According to this automatic foot massage device, the sole of the foot is subjected to a preferable acupressure effect in terms of sensation, and the pressing portion of the fluid cylinder can be pressed against the sole of the foot with a constant pressing force, It can be expected that a suitable massage effect can be obtained.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the above automatic sole massage device, when the fluid cylinder is moved along the sole of the foot, if the movement of the fluid cylinder is not regulated at an appropriate position, the pressing portion at the tip of the retractable rod is However, this causes a problem that the foot protrudes outward from the contour of the foot in plan view.

Further, if the moving end of the fluid cylinder is set at a fixed position, there is a problem in that it is impossible to cope with this even though the size of the foot of each person is different.

Furthermore, even if the user wants to intensively massage, there is a place where the user intensively massages by simply moving the fluid cylinder so that the movement trajectory of the fluid cylinder becomes a constant trajectory.
There is a drawback that it cannot meet this request.

[Means for solving problems]

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides an automatic foot sole massage device capable of favorably performing acupressure action on the sole of the foot without the pressing portion provided at the tip of the rod of the fluid cylinder protruding outside the contour of the foot. It is a technical issue to provide.

The first means for achieving this technical problem is to provide a foot rest on one wall of the casing and to provide the sole of the foot placed on the foot rest inside the casing. A fluid cylinder having a pressing portion for intermittently pressing at the tip of the retracting rod, an X-axis direction drive means for moving the fluid cylinder in the X-axis direction using a first drive motor as a drive source, and a second drive Y-axis direction drive means for moving the fluid cylinder in a Y-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction using a motor as a drive source, and one side of the fluid cylinder in the X-axis direction, the X-axis, which is integrally moved with the fluid cylinder. Limit switches for detecting respective moving ends of the other side in the direction, one side in the Y-axis direction, and the other side in the Y-axis direction, and arranged corresponding to both inner and outer side edges and both front and rear edges of the foot placed on the foot rest. And each of the limit switches Each of the limit switches is provided with a respective abutting member that abuts, and any one of a pair of limit switches for detecting the moving ends of the fluid cylinder on the one side in the X-axis direction and the other side in the X-axis direction abuts. When abutting against the member, the rotational direction of the first drive motor is reversed and one of a pair of limit switches for detecting the moving end of the fluid cylinder on one side in the Y-axis direction and the other side in the Y-axis direction. There is provided a control means for reversing the rotation direction of the second drive motor when the limit switch contacts the contact member. In this case, at least one of the contact members may be slidably held in the casing.

A second means for achieving the above technical problem is that a foot rest is provided on one wall of a casing, and the sole of the foot placed on the foot rest is provided inside the casing. A fluid cylinder having a pressing portion for intermittently pressing at the tip of the retracting rod, an X-axis direction drive means for moving the fluid cylinder in the X-axis direction using a first drive motor as a drive source, and a second drive A Y-axis direction drive means for moving the fluid cylinder in a Y-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction by using a motor as a drive source is provided, and further includes an inner switch, an outer switch, a front switch and a rear switch. In addition to the manual operation device, the first drive motor is normally rotated when the inner motion switch is turned on, and the outer motion switch is operated.
When the ON operation is performed, the first drive motor is reversely rotated, when the front drive switch is ON-operated, the second drive motor is normally rotated, and when the rear drive switch is ON-operated, the second drive motor is reversely rotated. It's in the place of preparation. In this case, the operating device is provided with a setting switch, and when the setting switch is turned on, the control means reverses the rotation direction of the first drive motor or the second drive motor at a predetermined cycle. You may.

[Action]

According to the first means, the first drive motor and the second drive motor rotate in a predetermined direction, so that the pressing portion at the tip of the retractable rod of the fluid cylinder moves the sole of the foot placed on the foot rest. Any one of a pair of limit switches that detects a moving end on one side and the other side in the X-axis direction while moving in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction while intermittently pressing with a predetermined pressing force. When the limit switch comes into contact with the contact member, the rotation direction of the first drive motor is reversed at this point by the operation of the control means, and the fluid cylinder starts moving in the direction opposite to the X-axis direction. . Further, in the same manner as above, while the fluid cylinder is moving in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, one of the pair of limit switches for detecting the moving end on one side and the other side in the Y-axis direction is detected. Even when the limit switch contacts the contact member, the rotation direction of the second drive motor is reversed at this point by the operation of the control means, and the fluid cylinder starts moving in the direction opposite to the Y-axis direction. That is, the movement of the fluid cylinder in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is restricted at a predetermined position by each contact member. Since the contact members are arranged so as to correspond to the inner and outer side edges and the front and rear end edges of the foot placed on the foot rest, the pressing portion of the fluid cylinder should not protrude outward from the contour of the foot. It will move without it. If at least one of the contact members is slidable, the movable end of the fluid cylinder is desired according to the size of the user's foot by appropriately sliding the contact member. It is possible to set the position.

According to the second means, when the inner motion switch of the operating device is manually turned on, the first drive motor is normally rotated by the operation of the control means, and the fluid cylinder presses the sole of the foot intermittently. While moving to one side in the X-axis direction,
When the external switch is turned on, the first drive motor is rotated in reverse by the operation of the control means, and the fluid cylinder moves to the other side in the X-axis direction. When the forward drive switch is turned on, the second drive motor is normally rotated by the operation of the control means to move the fluid cylinder to one side in the Y-axis direction, while the rear drive switch is turned on. In this case, the operation of the control means causes the second drive motor to rotate in the reverse direction so that the fluid cylinder moves to the other side in the Y-axis direction. As described above, by appropriately turning on each switch of the operation device, the fluid cylinder moves not only in accordance with the user's request, but also in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the fluid cylinder. It is possible to make the moving ends coincide with both inner and outer edges of the foot and both front and rear edges. When the setting switch is provided in the operation device, if the setting switch is turned on, the first drive motor or the second drive motor can perform the normal rotation and the reverse rotation by the operation of the control means. It will be repeated alternately in a cycle. If this predetermined cycle is set to be a relatively short cycle, the fluid cylinder will reciprocate at the same location within a narrow range, so that it is possible to intensively massage a specific location on the sole of the foot. It will be possible.

It is composed of an air solenoid valve 57 that selectively switches between two communicating air passages 55, 56. In this case, the fluid pressure adjusting valve 53 can manually and arbitrarily adjust the maximum pressure value of air, that is, the maximum pressing force that acts on the sole of the foot from the pressing portion 30f of the air cylinder 30. There is. In addition, the air solenoid valve 57 connects the two systems of air passages 55 and 56 to an air supply passage and an air discharge passage in a predetermined cycle (for example, 2 seconds).
The operation is performed by alternately switching with, so that the push-out rods 30b, 30b of the air cylinders 30, 30 move forward and backward at a predetermined cycle.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, this device further includes an operating device 60 including a manually operated front switch 61, rear switch 62, inner switch 63, outer switch 64 and setting switch 65. And the signals a to e from the switches 61 to 65 of the operating device 60 are provided as shown in FIG.
And the signals f from the limit switches 36, 37, 40, 41 mentioned above.
control unit 70 for inputting i and outputting signals j, k to the first drive motor 16 and the second drive motor 23
(Stored in the casing 1). The air solenoid valve 57 is configured to operate based on the signal m from the control unit 70.

 Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.

First, both feet are placed on the pair of foot rests 4, 4 while sitting on a chair or the like of a user, and the feet are fastened with belts 5a, 5a as shown in FIG. Then, by appropriately operating the knob 70 shown in FIG. 1, the contact member 43 (see FIGS. 5 and 6) that slides in conjunction with the rotation of the knob 70 is positioned according to the size of the foot. To do. Under such a condition, by turning on the main switch 71, the compressor 51 shown in FIG. 11 is activated and air is discharged into the main passage 52, and at the same time, the control unit 70 sends a signal to the air solenoid valve 57. m is sent, and the push-out rods 30b, 30b of the pair of air cylinders 30, 30 move forward and backward at a predetermined cycle. As a result, the pressing portion 30f provided at the tip of each push-out rod 30b is shown in FIG. As shown in, the sheet 3 is intermittently pressed against the sole of the foot through the seat 3. In this case, the maximum pressing force acting on the sole of the foot from the pressing portion 30f is adjusted by the user by operating the knob 72 while visually observing the pressure gauge 54 shown in FIG. This is done by changing the pressure value of the compressed air.

On the other hand, the control unit 70 includes the second drive motor 23
To drive the nut 25 and the extension rods 26, 26 forward or backward by rotating the second drive motor 23 in the normal direction or in the reverse direction by sending a signal k to the second screw shaft 20. As a result, the pair of air cylinders 30, 30 are moved forward or backward along the guide rods 8, 8. In this case, the second drive motor 23 is switched between normal rotation and reverse rotation when the signal h or i from the limit switch 40 or 41 attached to the left air cylinder 30 shown in FIG. 5 is turned ON. Done in. Therefore, when both air cylinders 30, 30 move forward and the limit switch 40 makes contact with the contact member 43, both air cylinders 30, 30 change direction at this point and move backward, and Double air cylinder
30 and 30 move to the rear and the limit switch 41 touches the contact member 4
Even if it abuts 2, it will change direction at this point and move forward. Then, while such an operation is being repeatedly performed, the user turns on the front drive switch 61 or the rear drive switch 62 of the operation unit 60 to thereby input the signal a or b input to the control unit 70. When is turned on, this ON signal is processed with priority. That is, for example, the second drive motor 23 reversely rotates to rotate the air cylinder 3
If the signal a from the forward drive switch 61 is turned on while 0 and 30 are moving backward, the signal a is turned off from this point.
Until the second drive motor 23 rotates forward, the air cylinders 30, 30 move forward, and conversely, the second drive motor 23 rotates forward and the air cylinders 30, 30 move forward. When the signal b from the rearward switch 62 is turned on while moving forward, the second drive motor 23 reverses and the air cylinder 30 is turned on from this point until the signal b is turned off. , 30 will move backwards.

Further, as described above, while the air cylinders 30, 30 are moving back and forth, the user turns on the inner switch 63 or the outer switch 64 of the operation device 60 to input the control unit 70. When the signal c or d is turned on, the air cylinders 30, 30 move inward in the direction toward each other or move outward in the direction away from each other. That is, when the signal c from the internal motion switch 63 is ON, the control unit 70 sends a predetermined signal j to the first drive motor 16 to rotate the first drive motor 16 in the normal direction. 1 screw shaft
10 is rotated in the forward direction, whereby the pair of moving units 6, 6 and the air cylinders 30, 30 are moved in a direction in which they approach each other. On the other hand, when the signal d from the external switch 64 is ON,
The control unit 70 sends a signal j that causes the first drive motor 16 to rotate in the reverse direction to rotate the first screw shaft 10 in the reverse direction, thereby moving the pair of moving units 6, 6 and the air cylinders 30, 30 in mutually separate directions. Let

While the air cylinders 30, 30 are moving inward or outward, the right air cylinder 30 shown in FIG.
When the signal f or g from the limit switch 36 or 37 attached to the switch is turned on, that is, when the limit switch 36 contacts the contact member 38 or the limit switch 37 contacts the contact member 39, The control unit 70 is
The limit switch 36 or 37 is once separated from the contact member 38 or 39 by sending a signal j for rotating the first drive motor 16 in the direction opposite to the rotation immediately before it for a short time. Therefore, since the abutting members 38, 39 have shapes corresponding to the outer and inner edges of the foot, the air cylinders 30, 30 move without protruding outward from the contour of the foot.

Further, when the user turns on the switch 65 of the operation unit 60, the signal e input to the control unit 70
When is turned on, the control unit 70
The rotation direction of the second drive motor 23 is set to a predetermined cycle (for example, 6
Then, the signal k for reversing is transmitted in (sec). In other words, in this case, the air cylinders 30 and 30 repeat forward and backward movements within a narrow range, and therefore the pressing portion 3f can be intensively pressed against a specific place on the sole of the foot. It will be possible.

In this embodiment, the fluid cylinder is an air cylinder.
Although 30 is used, instead of this, for example, a hydraulic cylinder or the like may be used.
