Abstract

(57) [Summary] [PROBLEMS] When a thumb-shaped pressing member is advanced by a cylinder drive and pressed against a local point such as a meridian point of a human body to perform acupressure, the acupressure is performed even when the acupressure time or cycle is adjusted by the pressing member. It is difficult to increase the acupressure effect more than the acupressure effect by a skilled person. SOLUTION: The pressing member 2 is advanced by a forward driving source 3 such as an air cylinder, and the pressing member 2 is forcibly moved at high speed by a retreat driving source 4 such as high pressure air for retreating a piston rod 8 or the like of the air cylinder. The pressing member 2 pressed against the human body 1 is moved backward by a reversing drive source 4
Thus, the acupressure effect on the human body 1 can be enhanced more than the acupressure effect by the acupressure expert, by positively retreating at a higher speed than the restoring force of the pressed region of the human body 1.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an automatic acupressure device that applies a massage effect to a human body by pressing a local area such as an acupuncture point of the human body.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 When physical acupuncture such as rubbing, rubbing, pressing, and heating the acupuncture points (acupuncture points), which are said to be present in nearly 1000 places on the human body, gives a pleasant massage effect to the human body and a therapeutic effect can be expected. It is being appreciated. Therefore, as an automatic massage device that effectively stimulates the acupuncture points of the human body without using human hands, a bed-type massage device that rolls and rolls rollers on the shoulder, back, or waist of the human body lying upward on the bed and a chair A chair-type massage device that rubs and massages the neck, shoulders, back, and waist of a person who sits down with a roller that resembles the movement of a person's hand is becoming popular.

In the case of the bed-type or chair-type massage device, the roller moves in a predetermined direction in relation to a human body having uneven irregularities. Rubbing and pressing the human body with extreme force may cause discomfort or distress to the human body, and may even damage bones such as muscles and spines. Considering the situation where osteoporosis is becoming more and more prominent due to the rapid aging of the population, it can be said that there is an urgent need to solve the problem of the roller massage device. Therefore, as an alternative to the roller type massage device, an automatic acupressure device that presses a local area such as an acupuncture point of the human body and expects an acupressure effect is reviewed, and various automatic acupressure devices are being developed.

In the automatic acupressure device, a pressing member having a size of a finger is attached to the tip of a piston rod of a fluid cylinder such as an air cylinder, and the pressing member is moved forward and backward at a predetermined speed by the fluid cylinder to move it forward. The pressing member is used to press the local part of the human body, and specific examples thereof are disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-16142 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 3-80026. Such an automatic acupressure device is a device that presses a pressing member with a fluid cylinder on the neck, shoulders, back, waist, or palm, soles, etc. of the human body, and mainly applies pressure to the neck, shoulders, back, and waist of the human body. Large bed-type and chair-type acupressure devices that are operated, and small portable acupressure devices that are operated by the user to acupressure the palms and soles of their hands.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, the above-mentioned automatic acupressure device controls the fluid pressure to the fluid cylinder that moves the pressure member back and forth and the pressure (finger pressure) to the human body of the pressure member by controlling the fluid supply / discharge time to / from the fluid cylinder. By appropriately controlling the pressing time and the cycle according to the preference of the user, it is possible to enhance the acupressure effect on the human body and, in this way, enhance the acupressure effect. However, as a result of the actual experience of the present inventor, even when the fluid cylinder is driven and the pressure member presses the human body with an appropriate pressing force, pressing time, and cycle, it is possible to obtain more than the acupressure effect by the manual pressure of an acupressure expert. I knew I couldn't. In addition, the acupressure effect by the acupressure expert varies greatly depending on the skill level of the acupressure expert, and even a highly skilled acupressure expert has a human limit to the maximum acupressure, so that the acupressure effect is further improved. The current situation is that it is difficult to raise it.

That is, as one of the acupressure effects, it is known that the acupuncture points of the human body are pressed and stimulated to improve the flow of blood and lymph around the acupuncture points. However, there is a limit to improving the flow of blood and lymph by simply pressing and releasing the local part of the human body with the human finger or the pressing member of the automatic acupressure device, and this is the acupressure effect of human or automatic acupressure device. It is becoming more difficult to realize this, and it is difficult to realize a highly reliable automatic acupressure device as a health device or a therapeutic device.

An object of the present invention is to provide a bed-type, chair-type or portable type acupressure device that further enhances the acupressure effect on the human body.

[0008]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the acupressure device of the present invention selectively supplies a pressure fluid to supply / discharge ports at both ends of a cylinder body to reciprocate an internal piston. A cylinder; a finger pressure pressing member fixed to the piston rod tip of the piston; an electromagnetic valve that alternately supplies pressure fluid to the supply / discharge port of the cylinder body; and a supply / discharge port on the opposite side of the piston rod. And a quick exhaust valve for opening the exhaust port communicating with the atmosphere side at the same time when the supply of the pressure fluid to the supply / discharge port by the solenoid valve is stopped.

In this acupressure device, since the pressure fluid is switched and supplied to the double-acting side of the cylinder by the solenoid valve, at the same time, the forward side of the cylinder is communicated with the atmosphere side for smooth exhaust, so that the pressing member can be quickly discharged. Double action is realized, and the local blood and lymph fluid of the human body, which had been retained by being pressed by the pressing member, suddenly flows like a weir due to the momentary detachment of the pressing member. With the flow of lymphocytes, the acupressure effect on the human body is significantly improved.

In another acupressure device of the present invention, a proximal end portion is fixed to a foundation via a spring material, and a pressing member for acupressure is fixed to a distal end portion, and an acupressure rod is attached to the acupressure rod. An engaging portion, and a cam that is disposed adjacent to the acupressure rod and that is engaged with the engaging portion periodically by the operation of a motor to move the acupressure rod against a spring material. Become.

In this acupressure device, the acupressure rod moved to the forward movement side by the cam rapidly double-acts by the force of the spring material at the same time when the cam is disengaged from the engaging portion, and the same acupressure effect is obtained. .

According to the present invention, the acupressure device using the cylinder or the cam is movably arranged inside the bed or the back of the chair so that the user can receive the acupressure in a relaxed posture.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Various embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. Note that the same or corresponding portions are denoted by the same reference symbols throughout the drawings of FIGS. 1 to 15 to avoid redundant description.

The acupressure device of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B includes a forward drive source 3 for automatically moving forward a pressing member 2 that locally presses the human body 1 shown by the chain line in FIG. A backward drive source 4 for automatically moving the pressing member 2 backward is provided. The forward drive source 3 in FIG. 1 is, for example, an air cylinder, which is a fluid cylinder, and hereinafter referred to as the air cylinder 3, the pressing member 2 is fixed to the tip of a piston rod 8 of the air cylinder 3. The air cylinder 5 has a structure in which a piston rod 8 is fixed to a piston 7 in a cylindrical cylinder body 6, has supply / discharge ports 9 and 10 at the rear end and the front end of the cylinder body 6, and supplies / discharges at the rear end. By supplying high-pressure air from the mouth 9, the piston 7 is moved forward and the pressing member 2 is moved forward toward the human body 1. The backward drive source 4 is high-pressure air (high-pressure fluid) supplied to the supply / discharge port 10 at the tip of the cylinder body 6, and is supplied to the supply / discharge port 10 when the piston 7 moves to the tip side of the cylinder body 6. When the high-pressure air from the backward drive source 4 is supplied, the high-pressure air forcibly retracts the piston 7, and the pressing member 2 rapidly retracts from the human body 1 at high speed.

The air cylinder 3 is connected to, for example, an air compressor 11 via a pressure adjusting valve 12, a solenoid valve 14, and a quick exhaust valve 15. FIG. 1 (A) shows a state in which the pressing member 2 is moved forward. At this time, high-pressure air at a constant pressure is adjusted by the pressure adjusting valve 12 from the air compressor 11 so that the solenoid valve 14, the quick exhaust valve 15 and the cylinder body. 6 is supplied to the rear end supply / discharge port 9, the piston 7 and the pressing member 2 advance, and the pressing member 2 presses the human body 1. The pressing force (finger pressure) of the pressing member 2 on the human body 1 is arbitrarily set by adjusting the air pressure with a manual pressure regulator 13 directly connected to the pressure regulating valve 12. Further, the pressing time and the cycle of the pressing member 2 against the human body 1 are arbitrarily set by controlling the solenoid valve 14 by a drive control circuit (not shown).

The device of the present invention is technically characterized in that the acupressure state of FIG. 1 (A) is instantaneously changed to the acupressure release state of FIG. 1 (B). That is, FIG. 1B shows a state in which the pressing member 2 is retracted and separated from the human body 1. At this time, the solenoid valve 14 is switched to supply the high pressure air from the air compressor 11 to the supply / discharge port at the tip of the cylinder body 6. 10, the piston 7 is forcibly and momentarily retracted, while the supply / exhaust port 9 at the rear end of the cylinder body 6 is released from the exhaust port 15a of the quick exhaust valve 15 through the silencer 16 to the atmosphere. . When the solenoid valve 14 is switched as described above, the pressing member 2 is rapidly retracted at high speed by the backward drive source 4 of the high pressure air, and is rapidly separated from the human body 1. It is desirable to set the detachment speed sufficiently higher than the deformation restoration speed of the skin of the human body which is restored by the detachment of the pressing member 2 when the local area pressed by the pressing member 2 of the human body 1 is restored.

The waveform of FIG. 2 shows an example of the time of back and forth movement of the pressing member 2 and the amount of forward and backward movement. As described above, the pressing member 2 is repeatedly moved back and forth in a desired cycle so that the acupuncture points and the like of the human body 1 are repeatedly pressed. Press the human body 1 to the desired pressing force (3-6 kg / cm ^Two The pressing member 2 that has been pressed with a suitable degree is positively and rapidly retracted by the high-pressure air retracting drive source 4, so that the blood or lymph that is locally retained by being pressed by the pressing member 2 of the human body 1 Will rapidly flow, and the acupressure effect of the pressing member 2 will increase. This increase in acupressure effect is difficult to prove as numerical data, but it is confirmed to be certain from reports based on the actual experience of an unspecified number of people.

In the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, the air cylinder 3 is shown as a rubber cushion type in which impact absorbing rubbers 17 are attached to both surfaces of the piston 7, but the present invention is not limited to this example, and air cylinders and hydraulic cylinders of other models are used. Can also be applied. Further, it is desirable to connect the silencer 16 to the quick exhaust valve 15 so as to suppress the air noise when the pressing member 2 retreats at a high speed, in order to provide a silent pressure device.

The acupressure device of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 (A) and 3 (B) uses an air cylinder 3 similar to that of the device in FIG. 1 as a forward drive source. In this case, the tip side of the cylinder body 6 is used. A spring member 4 as a backward drive source is installed in the cylinder chamber. The spring member 4 is a coil spring, and as shown in FIG. 3A, when the piston 7 and the pressing member 2 move forward, the spring member 4 is compressed by the piston 7. In this state, when the high pressure air is discharged from the supply / discharge port 9 at the rear end of the cylinder body 6, the compressed bar material 4 forcibly pushes the piston 7 by its elastic restoring force as shown in FIG. 3 (B). It is retracted at high speed, and the pressing member 2 is rapidly retracted at high speed.

In the case of the apparatus shown in FIG. 3, it is desirable to install a shock absorbing rubber 18 between the piston 7 and the cylinder body 6 which are retreating at high speed to prevent a sudden collision between them. Further, instead of the spring material 4 of the apparatus shown in FIG. 3, the front end side cylinder chamber of the cylinder body 6 is closed and the air in this closed space is compressed by the forward movement of the piston 7 to form an air spring. The piston 7 and the pressing member 2 may be positively and rapidly retracted at high speed.

The acupressure device of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 (A) and (B) is effective for a relatively thin acupressure device, and the forward drive source 3 for advancing the pressing member 2 is driven by a motor. A cam 21 that is rotationally driven by 19 is used, and a tension spring member 4 is used as a backward drive source that retracts the pressing member 2.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, a pair of guide columns 23 are vertically fixed on a foundation 22 of the acupressure device, and one lifting plate 24 is vertically movable between the pair of guide columns 23. To do. A pair of acupressure rods 25 are vertically fixed on the elevating plate 24, and the pressing members 2 are attached to the tips of the acupressure rods 25. A pair of tension spring members 4 are attached between the elevating plate 24 and the foundation 22, and a cam 19 is rotated by a motor 19 fixed on the foundation 22 via a reduction gear mechanism 20. Every time the cam 21 makes a half rotation, it pushes up the engaging portion 24a at the end of the elevating plate 24 from below against the spring force of the tension spring member 4, and rotationally drives the pressing member 2 to move forward once.

That is, the cam 21 is in a state of being separated from the elevating plate 24 shown in FIG. 5 (A) in a normal state, and at this time, the elevating plate 24 is at the most retracted position pulled by the tension spring member 4 toward the foundation 22 side. It is stationary. When the cam 21 is rotated by a half turn in the clockwise direction by the motor 19 from the state of FIG. 5 (A), one end of the cam 21 is placed on the lower surface of the engaging portion 24a of the elevating plate 24 as shown in FIG. 5 (B). It abuts and pushes up the lifting plate 24 against the tension spring material 4 as it is, and the pressing member 2 moves forward. The pressing member 2 moves forward by a predetermined amount to acupressure the human body, and then the rotating cam 21 is disengaged from the engaging portion 24a of the elevating plate 24. Then, the elevating plate 24 is forcibly lowered (retracted) at high speed by the elastic restoring force of the tension spring member 4, whereby the pressing member 2 rapidly retreats at high speed immediately after the acupressure.

A specific example of the use of the pressing member 2 will be described with reference to the acupressure device shown in FIGS.

6 to 13 show specific examples in which the pressing member 2 is used in a bed-type acupressure device. This bed-type acupressure device is provided with a rectangular box frame-shaped bed 30 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. The upper part of the bed 30 is composed of a mat base 31 on which the human body 1 can lie down, and the mat base 31 is constructed by stretching a thin flexible protective sheet 33 on a frame plate 32 supporting the human body 1. A plurality of pressing members 2, for example, five pressing members 2 are arranged near the lower part of the mat base 31 inside the bed 30 so as to be movable in the X direction of the length direction of the bed 30 and the Y direction of the width direction of the bed 30. The five pressing members 2 have a forward drive source and a backward drive source for the air cylinder 3 similar to those in FIG. 1. Hereinafter, only when distinguishing the five, the four pressing members 2 are arranged as shown in FIG. The first to fourth pressing members 2a to 2d and the remaining one are referred to as a fifth pressing member 2e.

A pair of rails 34 parallel to the X direction are fixed to the lower part of the bed 30, and a rectangular carriage 35 is installed on the rails 34 so as to be capable of reciprocating in the X direction. The dolly 35 is driven by a motor 36 and a chain 37 shown in FIG. The air cylinder 3 of the fifth pressing member 2e is vertically fixed to the center of the upper surface of the carriage 35 (see FIGS. 8, 9, and 11). A pair of guide rails 38 parallel to the Y direction are fixed on both sides in the X direction across the center of the upper surface of the carriage 35, and a pair of slide plates 39 parallel to the X direction can reciprocate in the Y direction on the guide rails 38. (See FIG. 8). The pair of first and second pressing members 2a and 2b of the air cylinder 3 is fixed to one of the pair of slide plates 39, and the pair of third and fourth pressing members 2c and 2d of the air cylinder 3 is fixed to the other. It As shown in FIGS. 8 and 10, the pair of slide plates 39 move in a direction in which they approach and separate from each other in synchronization with a chain / gear mechanism 41 using a single motor 40 as a drive source.

The five pressing members 2 are arranged on the carriage 35 so as to be movable so as to press arbitrary acupuncture points on the neck, shoulders, back, and waist of the human body 1 lying on the mat base 31. Particularly, the fifth pressing member 2e at the center of the carriage 35 presses the center line part of the back where the spine exists from the caudal bone of the human body 1, and as shown in FIG. The upper surface is formed into a flat cushioning surface so that the human body 1 is pressed comfortably. The first to fourth pressing members 2a to 2d are arranged so as to effectively press a large number of acupuncture points concentrated on both sides of the spine of the human body 1.

For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, the first and second pressing members 2 a and 2 b installed on one of the pair of slide plates 39 closest to each other and the third and fourth pressing members 2 a and 2 b installed on the other. The pressing members 2c and 2d are installed at a predetermined inclination angle in the Y direction so as to face the center of the spine of the human body 1 directly above them. When the carriage 35 in the state of FIG. 11A is moved to a predetermined position in the X direction and stopped, and each of the first to fourth pressing members 2a to 2d is moved forward (upward), each pressing member 2a is moved. 2d effectively presses the acupuncture points in the vicinity of both sides of the spine of the human body 1 to apply acupressure. Further, when the pair of slide plates 39 are slid from the solid line position in FIG. 10 to the chain line position in a direction away from each other and the first to fourth pressing members 2a to 2d are moved forward (raised), The members 2a to 2d effectively press the shoulders and sides away from the spine of the human body 1, or the acupuncture points on the lower surface of the upper arm to apply acupressure.

FIG. 12 shows an example of a control circuit for moving the five pressing members 2 used in the above bed type acupressure device forward and backward. Each of the five pressing members 2 is independently driven and controlled via a common air compressor 11 and a solenoid valve 14 '. In this case, the manual pressure regulator 13 that operates the pressure regulating valve 12 that regulates the air pressure from the common solenoid valve 14 'includes, for example, the strongest, strong, weak, and weakest four-stage pressure regulating switch 13'. You can use your own.

A drive control unit 50 with a built-in computer is attached to the control circuit for each solenoid valve in FIG. The drive control unit 50 calculates and stores data such as the position of each pressing member 2, finger pressure at the time of acupressure, time, and cycle based on the height of the user lying on the bed 30, and the stored data. Reproduce. The operation of storing the data such as the position of each pressing member 2 in the drive control unit 50 is performed by the user himself who receives the acupressure, or by the person other than the user who is involved in the treatment freely visually confirming it. . A specific example of the procedure will be described with reference to the operation display modes in FIG.

In the first display operation mode of the drive control unit, when the height data of the user lying on the bed is input by ten-key operation (for example, when the height is 165 cm, 65 is input), the operation mode is changed. Switching from this operation mode to the next page, an operation mode is displayed that displays the part of the human body to which shiatsu is desired. For example, if the shiatsu part is designated as shoulder, back, or waist, the operation mode is switched. By switching this operation mode to the next page, an operation mode for displaying the acupressure time at the designated acupressure part is issued. For example, if the acupressure time is designated as 40 minutes, the operation mode is switched. Next, the operation mode is switched to the confirmation operation mode before the acupressure operation is started, and the display of "preparation" and the input specified data are displayed. If the user confirms that the specified data is correct, the operation start operation is performed and the mode is switched to the operation mode, the display during operation continues, and the shiatsu operation to the user continues during this period. And the remaining time of the acupressure action is displayed. To stop the acupressure operation, if you stop the operation mode, the acupressure operation is stopped and the operation mode is switched.

When the acupressure operation is started in the operation mode of FIG. 13, the acupressure is automatically performed in the order of the shoulder, back, and waist of the user based on the height data. In other words, when the user lays his head down on a fixed position on the bed and reclines, the position data of the user's shoulder, back, and waist acupuncture points on the bed is roughly calculated from the height data of the user. Based on the position data, each pressing member moves back and forth and left and right to apply pressure to the acupuncture points of the user in order. Such finger pressure position data of the pressing member based on the height of the user is stored in the computer by the operation of registering the operation mode shown in FIG. 13, and is reproduced when the same user receives the finger pressure again.

It is also possible for the user to move the pressing member to an arbitrary part of the human body while lying on the bed and apply finger pressure to the arbitrary position with a specified pressing force. The position of the pressing member at this time Acupressure data of data, acupressure, acupressure time, and cycle are also stored and reproduced arbitrarily.

FIG. 14 shows an embodiment in which the pressing member 2 is used in a chair type acupressure device and a portable acupressure device for soles. The chair-type acupressure device shown in the same figure accommodates a pair of left and right pressing members 2 in a backrest 61 of a chair 60 so as to be vertically movable, and applies acupressure to the neck, shoulders, back and waist of the human body 1. In this case, as the forward drive source and the backward drive source of each pressing member 2, it is desirable to use the same cams and spring members as in FIG. 4 which can be thinned.

Further, since the portable acupressure device of FIG. 14 applies acupressure to the sole of the user sitting on the chair 60, a specific structure thereof is shown in FIG. This acupressure device dedicated to the sole of the foot temporarily fixes the foot 1 ′ of the human body 1 on a flexible protective sheet 63 with a tightening band 62 or the like, and advances (pushes up) the pressing member 2 from below the protective sheet 63. The pressure of the foot is applied to the sole of the foot. In this case, one or two pressing members 2 are suitable, and cams similar to those in FIG. It is desirable to use spring material 4 (not shown). The portable shiatsu device as shown in FIG. 15 can be easily changed to a shiatsu device dedicated to the palm.

[Effect of the invention]

 According to the present invention, the pressing member is forced toward the human body by the forward drive source such as a fluid cylinder and the human body is pressed, and the pressing member is forced by using the high pressure of the high pressure fluid and the elastic force of the spring material. Since it is made to retreat rapidly at high speed, blood and lymph fluid locally retained in the human body pressed by the pressing member rapidly flows immediately after the abrupt movement of the pressing member, and this flow remarkably affects the acupressure effect in the human body. It is possible to provide an automatic acupressure device such as a bed type, a chair type, a portable type, etc., which has a high therapeutic effect and is highly reliable.

Further, like the acupressure device according to the fourth aspect, the position data of the pressing member for acupressure the human body based on the height data of the human body on the bed is calculated, stored and reproduced, thereby facilitating the handling. Thus, it is possible to provide the acupressure device which is convenient for the user and who can quickly start the acupressure action.
