Each time the wave select switch 48 is pressed,
The mode can be sequentially switched from the mode to the L mode. When the A mode is selected, the air bladders 38 to 31 sequentially inflate and contract from the foot to the neck, and
When the mode is selected, air bags 31 to
38 expand and contract sequentially. When the C mode is selected, only the air bladders 31 to 33 that press the shoulders are sequentially inflated and deflated, and when the D mode is selected, the air bladders 34 to 37 that press the back and the waist are sequentially expanded and contracted. The air bag 31 which contracts and presses each local part of each mode when the E to L mode is selected
Only ~ 38 expand and contract.

Numerals 49 and 50 are setting switches for setting the intensity of the massage. The intensity increases when the setting switch 49 is pressed, and decreases when the setting switch 50 is pressed. Light emitting diodes 50a to 50d indicate the set intensity.

Reference numeral 52 denotes a storage section for storing the remote control main body 51.

As shown in FIG. 7, the remote control operation section 52 of the remote control main body 51 is provided with switches having the same functions as the switches provided on the operation panel 41. I can do it.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram schematically showing the entire configuration of the air mat device A. In FIG. 8, reference numeral 91 denotes an air compressor for generating compressed air, 92 denotes a filter tank for purifying and storing compressed air, 93 denotes a needle valve for opening the filter tank 92, and these air compressor 91, filter tank 92 and needle valve 93
Is provided in the main body case 40a. Reference numeral 60 denotes a rotary valve that supplies and discharges air to and from the mat body 10, and reference numeral 80 denotes a position detection unit that detects a rotational position of the rotary valve 60.

A control circuit 100 controls the stepping motor 65, the heater 26 provided on the mat body 10, the electric floor belt 25, and the like based on the operation of each switch provided on the operation panel 41. The control circuit 100 includes a microcomputer, an interface, and the like.
It is provided in the main body case 40.

Next, the operation of the air mat device having the above configuration will be described.

First, while the user is lying on the mat body 10, for example, the power switch 42 and the wave switch 45 provided on the operation panel 41 of the supply / discharge device 40 are turned on.
The air matting device A is operated.

By operating the air mat device A, compressed air is supplied to each of the air bags 31 to 38 or each of the air bags 31 to 38 is supplied with compressed air.
The compressed air is discharged from the air bag 8, and the air bags 31 to 38 are inflated and contracted.

Due to the inflation of the air bladders 31 to 38, as shown in FIG. 9, a protrusion is formed on the outer surface of the mat body 10, and the protrusion against the user's body B according to the inflation and contraction. The body B of the user can be massaged by repeating the pressing / non-pressing state.

In the foot receiving portion 13, when the air bag 38 is inflated, the upper portion of the air bag 38 is turned into a pointed pressing portion 38c by the plate members 38a and 38b (see FIG. 4), and the pressing portion 38c serves as a foot portion. Press the calf. Pressing part 38c
By having a pointed shape, the force per unit area pressing the calf is increased, and the foot can be sufficiently massaged by the wave motion.

Further, when the air matting device A is operated, the massage effect can be further enhanced by causing the heater 26 to generate heat.

When the heater switch 43 is turned on, the heater 26 embedded between the upper layers 17 to 19 of the mat body 10 and the skin 20 generates heat, and the shoulder support 11, the waist support 12, and the foot support 13 are heated. The outer surface temperature rises. This outer surface temperature is
The temperature can be adjusted by adjusting the temperature adjustment dial 44 to adjust the heat generation temperature of the heater 26.

When the temperature of the outer surface of the mat body 10 rises, each part of the body such as the user's shoulders, waist and feet comes into contact with the outer surface of the mat body 10 when the air bags 31 to 38 contract. Is in a warm state where heat is transmitted in close proximity,
When the air bladders 31 to 38 are inflated, they are lifted by the ridges and separated from the outer surface of the mat body 10 to be in a non-heated state in which heat is not transmitted (see FIG. 9).

Therefore, by alternately repeating the heating state and the cooling state due to the non-heating state, a blood circulation promoting effect is brought to the user's body, and the massage accompanying the inflation and contraction of the air bags 31 to 38 is performed. The effect can be further enhanced.

In particular, in the foot receiving portion 13, as shown in FIG. 10, since the foot portion F is light, a warmed state and a cooled state by a non-heated state can be reliably obtained, which is more effective. is there.

As described above, the air mat device A intermittently contacts and separates the mat body 10 forming the protrusion on the outer surface by the inflation of the air bags 31 to 38 and the vicinity of the protrusion of the body. The massage effect can be further enhanced by using the massage.

The air bladders 31 to 38 may be inflated one by one or may be inflated plurally.

[0044]

If the air bag repeatedly inflates and contracts,
The non-heated state is repeatedly performed, and the effect of promoting blood circulation is brought about
And the massage effect accompanying the inflation and deflation of the air bag is higher.
Can be Also, repeated inflation and deflation of the air bag
