There is a mattress type shown in JP-A-20434. This massage device has a long flat base body, a pair of guide rails is laid on both sides in the width direction of the base body, and a driving device using a motor as a driving source and a pillow base are arranged on both longitudinal sides. Have been. The guide rail is provided with a transmission belt reciprocated by a driving device and a movable body having a rotatable massage roller, and the movable body is connected to the transmission belt.
The massage device is entirely covered by the exterior ground, and when the transmission belt is reciprocated by the drive device, the moving body also reciprocates accordingly, so that the user lying upward on the exterior ground. Means that massage can be received by a massage roller of a moving body that reciprocates.

[0003]

With the conventional structure, a moving body (massage roller) for performing massage
Is to simply reciprocate the moving body within a range corresponding to the whole body of the human body. By the way, in general, a part where a feeling of fatigue is felt, in other words, a part where a massage is desired, is mainly a shoulder, a waist, and a calf. However, in the conventional method, as described above, since the moving body is simply reciprocated within the range corresponding to the whole body of the human body, the part where the massage is desired and the other parts are the same. The massage had to be done, which was not a good massage efficiency.

Further, this type of massage device has a partial massage function of moving a moving body to an arbitrary position and reciprocating the moving body within a predetermined range. In addition, an operation of moving the moving body to a position where the user wants to massage by a manual operation is required, and the operation is troublesome.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to be able to focus on a part to be massaged, to perform an efficient massage, and to provide a simple massage. An object of the present invention is to provide a massage device that can be operated.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a transmission strip member movably provided along a guide rail, and a transmission strip member provided at one longitudinal end of the guide rail. And a pillow base provided at the other end of the guide rail in the longitudinal direction, and a rotatable massage roller, which is driven by the transmission strip member and moves along the guide rail. A moving body to be moved, and a massage device including a control device that executes a massage operation by controlling the driving device, wherein the control device moves the moving body in a range corresponding to a whole body of a human body. When performing, a local massage operation that reciprocates the moving body with a predetermined stroke at a site corresponding to the shoulder, waist and calf of the human body To perform, yet, the Fukura
Movement of the part corresponding to the nip in the local massage operation
The stroke of the body is adjusted to the position corresponding to the shoulder and the waist.
Larger than the stroke of the moving body in the massage operation
It is characterized in that it is set to be easy to use.

In this case , it is preferable that the stroke of the moving body in the local massage operation of the part corresponding to the shoulder is set to be larger than the stroke of the moving body in the local massage operation of the part corresponding to the waist.

Further, the control device has a course for moving the moving body within a range corresponding to the upper body of the human body. When executing the upper body course, a local massage operation is performed on a portion corresponding to the shoulder and the waist of the human body. Or a course for moving the moving body in a range corresponding to the lower body of the human body, and performing this lower body course, performing a local massage operation at a portion corresponding to the calf of the human body be able to.

Further, the control device is provided with a partial massage course which can perform a partial massage operation for reciprocating the moving body at a predetermined stroke at an arbitrary position, and performs the partial massage at a portion corresponding to the inclined portion of the human body. When the operation is performed, it is preferable to correct the forward time or the return time of the moving body.

[0010]

In the above means, when a whole body course for moving a moving body in a range corresponding to the whole body of a human body is executed,
At a site corresponding to the shoulder, waist, and calf of the human body, a local massage operation of reciprocating the moving body with a predetermined stroke is performed. Therefore, when the whole-body course is executed, the shoulder, the waist, and the calf, which are generally the parts to be massaged, can be massaged with emphasis. Moreover, since the parts (shoulders, hips and calves) for performing the local massage operation are set in advance, there is no need to particularly select the part to be massaged.

In this case, the position of the shoulder, the waist and the calf is different depending on the height of the person to be massaged. Is set to be larger than the stroke of the moving body when performing a local massage operation on another part. This is because the difference between the height and the height is generally the length of the foot. Therefore, by increasing the stroke of the moving body corresponding to the calf, it is possible to cope with the height difference as much as possible.

When the stroke of the moving body in the local massage operation of the part corresponding to the shoulder is set to be larger than the stroke of the moving body in the local massage operation of the part corresponding to the waist, the person can massage. When lying down to receive, even if the position of the head is slightly shifted in the axial direction of the body, the shoulder can be massaged well.

There is an upper body course for moving the moving body in a range corresponding to the upper body of the human body, and when executing the upper body course, a local massage operation is performed at a portion corresponding to the shoulder and waist of the human body. Also, there is a lower body course to move the moving body in a range corresponding to the lower body of the human body, and when performing this lower body course, in the case of performing a local massage operation in a portion corresponding to the calf of the human body, In particular, when the upper body is tired, the upper body course is selected, and when the lower body is tired, the lower body course is selected, so that the massage can be more effectively performed.

Further, when performing a partial massage course in which a partial massage operation of reciprocating the moving body in a predetermined stroke can be performed at an arbitrary position, the moving body gradually deviates from a predetermined range depending on the shape of the human body. There are cases. This is because the shape of the human body has a part that protrudes from the moving body (massage roller) and a part that is concave, and the moving body moves to the concave side by receiving the pressing force of the inclined part of the human body. It is to go. In order to cope with this, when performing a partial massage operation at a site corresponding to the inclined portion of the human body, by performing correction of the forward time or the return time of the moving body, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of the above-described deviation as much as possible, Massage operation can be performed favorably.

The mounting plate 64 engages the hook 64a with the hook hole 67 and attaches the mounting screw 69 passed through the through hole 68 to the boss portion 64b.
Is fixed to the case 17 by being screwed into the case 17. The mounting plate 64 is provided with a flat guide 64c located between the switches 65 and 66 so as to protrude.
A groove 63b formed at the tip of the operating member 63 is fitted into 4c. Thereby, the operating member 63 is connected to the feed screw 6.
It is configured to move with the rotation of the feed screw 62 without rotating together with the feed screw 62. In this case, the feed screw 62 and the female screw in the screw hole 63a are multi-thread screws, for example, 2
The thread pitch is increased, so that the moving amount of the operating member 63 per rotation of the rotating shaft 19 is increased.

In the detecting device 61, when the rotating shaft 19 is driven to rotate by the motor 18 in the direction of arrow A and in the direction opposite to arrow A, the operating member 63 moves in the direction of arrow C and in the direction opposite to arrow C. The pressing portions 63c and 63d protruding from both sides of the operating member 63 press the leaf springs 65a and 66a of the switches 65 and 66, and press the switches 65 and 66.
Is turned on. The ON operation signals of the switches 65 and 66 are input to a control device 70 provided in the case 17, and the control device 70 recognizes the input ON operation signal as a reverse rotation command signal and rotates the motor 18 up to that time. Control to rotate in the opposite direction.

Here, the number of rotations of the rotating shaft 19 required to move the operating member 63 between the position where the switch 65 is turned on and the position where the switch 66 is turned on is determined by setting the transmission belt 2 to the moving body 44. The first and second driving pulleys 22, 23 and 24,
The number of rotations required for winding the reel 25 is the same as the number of rotations required. Therefore, from the above, when the moving body 44 travels to the end point position on the pillow base 7 side and the end point position on the drive device base 8 side, the moving body 44 reverses and moves in a direction opposite to the moving direction up to that point.

In this case, when the moving body 44 has traveled to the end point near the pillow base 7 and the end point near the drive unit 8, the switches 65 and 66 are turned on by the operating member 63 so that the mounting plate 64 is turned on. The fixing position needs to be adjusted. For this adjustment, the hook hole 67, the through hole 6
Reference numeral 8 denotes a horizontally long plate, and the mounting plate 64 has a hook hole 67 and a through hole 6.
8 can be moved in the horizontal direction by an amount equivalent to the length of the mounting plate 64, and an adjustment mechanism 71 for finely adjusting the position of the mounting plate 64.
Is provided. This adjusting mechanism 71 is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, the adjusting screw 72 is mainly used, and the adjusting screw 72 is screwed into a nut 73 attached to the case 17. A groove 72a is formed at the tip of the adjusting screw 72, and a holding piece 64d formed on the mounting plate 64 is fitted into the groove 72a. Therefore, the adjusting screw 72
When the is rotated in the forward and reverse directions, the adjusting screw 72 advances and retreats with respect to the nut 73, and the mounting plate 64 moves in the left and right direction by the advance and retreat movement.

As will be understood from the above description, the fixing position of the mounting plate 64 is determined when the moving body 44 reaches the end position on the pillow base 7 side and the end position on the drive device base 8 side. 63 must be adjusted so that the switches 65 and 66 are turned on. For this position adjustment, the guide rail 1 and the pillow base 7 are respectively provided with marks 74a and 74b (see FIG. 2) for indicating the end point positions.

The position adjustment of the mounting plate 64 using the marks 74a and 74b is performed as follows. That is, first, the moving body 44 is moved to the end point position on the pillow base 7 side or the end point position on the driving device base 8 side, and a predetermined position of the moving body 44, for example, the moving direction end of the moving body 44 coincides with the mark 74a or 74b. Stop at position. Next, mounting screws 6
With the 9 loosened, the adjusting screw 72 is advanced and retracted to move the mounting plate 64 in the left-right direction. Then, when the moving body 44 is stopped at the end position on the pillow base 7 side, the switch 65 is moved to a position where it is turned on by the pressing portion 63c of the operating member 63, and at the end position on the drive device base 8 side. When stopped, the switch 66 is moved to a position where the pressing portion 63d of the operating member 63 is turned on. Thereafter, the mounting plate 69 is tightened to secure the mounting plate 64 to the case 17.
And the lock nut 75 screwed to the adjustment screw 72 is tightened to fix the adjustment screw 72 so as not to be loosened.

Since the distance between the two switches 65 and 66 is determined in advance by a distance corresponding to the distance that the moving body 44 moves between the two end positions, one switch is actuated at one end position of the moving body 44. If the switch 63 is turned on, the position of the mounting plate 64 has been adjusted, and the positions of the switches 65 and 66 need not be adjusted again.

In order to receive a massage by the massage device configured as described above, first, the guide rail 1 and thus the massage device are extended as shown in FIG. 25 and placed on the floor, and the power cord 97 is inserted into an outlet (not shown). After the power switch 96 is turned on, the main body 10
3 Sit down. And two strips 113, 11
4, the foot part of the user is moved to the massage roller 42,
Press down on the body 103 side, which is the 43 side, and in this state,
The user lays his head on the pillow base 7 and lies on the main body 103 (on the flat heater 76).

Then, the user operates the remote control box 98 while lying on the main body 103. Here, when the “whole body course” is selected by the first selection button 120, the “whole body course” of FIG. 1 is executed in accordance with a program stored in the control device 70 in advance.
In the drawing, a line E indicates a movement pattern of the moving body 44 (massage rollers 42 and 43).

The "whole body course" starts from the end of the foot side (the drive unit 16 side) based on the energization of the motor 18 and reciprocates 1.5 times in the entire stroke. In the region corresponding to the waist and the calf, a local massage operation (indicated by the symbol F in the figure) for reciprocating the moving body 44 with a predetermined stroke is performed in order, and then the entire stroke is reciprocated one time, and the calf, the waist, and the shoulder After performing the local massage operation in this order, the entire stroke is reciprocated 1.5 times and the process is automatically terminated.

In this case, the moving body 4 of the local massage operation
The stroke of No. 4 differs for each part as shown in FIG. That is, the stroke of each part is 150 mm at the part corresponding to the shoulder, 120 mm at the part corresponding to the waist, and 240 mm at the part corresponding to the calf.
It is set to be larger in the order of waist, shoulder, calf.

By moving the movable body 44 in this manner, the massage rollers 42 and 43 move while rotating against the back and feet of the user via the inner cover 104 and the outer cover 105, thereby moving the whole body. Is subject to massage action. During such a massage operation, the back and waist are appropriately pressed against the massage rollers 42 and 43 by their own weights, so that a good massage action is obtained, and the feet are also moderately moved by the belts 113 and 114. Massage roller 4
Since it is pressed against 2, 43, a good massage action can be received.

When the “upper body course” is selected by the first selection button 120, the “upper body course” of FIG. 1 is executed according to a program stored in the control device 70 in advance. Thus, the “upper body course” starts from the end on the foot side in the same manner as described above, moves the moving body 44 to the end on the head side (pillow base 7 side), and then corresponds to the upper body of the human body. The part is reciprocated once, and thereafter, a local massage operation (indicated by reference symbol F in the figure) similar to that of the whole body course is performed a plurality of times at the part corresponding to the shoulder and the waist, and finally the part corresponding to the upper body is reciprocated once. After that, it returns to the end on the foot side and ends automatically. In this case, the stroke of the local massage operation on the shoulder and the waist is the same as in the case of the whole body course.

When the “lower body course” is selected by the first selection button 120, the “lower body course” of FIG. 1 is executed according to a program stored in the control device 70 in advance. Thus, the “lower body course” starts from the end on the foot side in the same manner as described above, moves the moving body 44 to a position corresponding to the hips of the human body, and then makes one reciprocation of the portion corresponding to the lower body of the human body. After that, in the part corresponding to the calf, a local massage operation (indicated by the symbol F in the figure) is performed a plurality of times, and finally, the part corresponding to the lower body is made to reciprocate once, and then returns to the end on the foot side to automatically return. End. Also in this case, the stroke of the local massage operation in the calf is the same as in the case of the whole body course.

When "shoulder course" is selected by first selection button 120, "shoulder course" in FIG. 1 is executed in accordance with a program stored in control device 70 in advance. Thus, the “shoulder course” starts from the end on the foot side, moves the moving body 44 to the end on the head side (pillow base 7 side), and then performs a local massage on a portion corresponding to the shoulder of the human body. The operation (indicated by the symbol F in the figure) is performed and 15
After a lapse of minutes, it returns to the end on the foot side and ends automatically.

When the “hip course” is selected by the first selection button 120, the “hip course” of FIG. 1 is executed in accordance with a program stored in the control device 70 in advance. Thus, the “waist course” starts from the end on the foot side, moves the moving body 44 to a position corresponding to the waist,
A local massage operation (indicated by reference numeral F in the figure) is performed on this waist portion, and after 15 minutes have elapsed, the operation returns to the end on the foot side and ends automatically.

In each of these courses, if it is desired to stop the massage operation halfway, the stop button 123
When is pressed, the mobile unit 44 is returned to the end on the foot side, and then the operation is stopped.

When the "continuous course" of rolling is selected by the second selection button 121, the moving body 44 is simply reciprocated by full stroke starting from the end on the foot side. When ending, the stop button 123
Pressing returns the moving body 44 to the end on the foot side in the same manner as described above, and then stops driving.

When the rolling "partial course" (partial massage course) is selected by the second selection button 121, the moving body 44 is moved to an arbitrary position by operating the upper and lower selection buttons 122a and 122b. Then, a partial massage operation of reciprocating the moving body 44 with a predetermined stroke around the position is performed.

In the case of the "partial course", the moving body 22 may gradually deviate from a predetermined range depending on the shape of the human body. In this regard, FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. That is, the shape of the human body includes a portion protruding with respect to the moving body 44 (massage rollers 42, 43) and a concave portion, and the massage rollers 42, 43 are inclined shoulders and hips protruding in the human body. (Corresponding to symbols G,
(Indicated by H, I, J), the moving body 44 moves to the concave side by the massage rollers 42, 43 receiving the pressing force by the inclined portions without operating the motor 18. To go. This is the reason that the position of the moving body 44 gradually shifts.

More specifically, for example, in portions G and I in FIG. 29 (portions corresponding to the upwardly inclined portions in the figure),
When the moving body 44 is reciprocated, the moving body 44 shifts as shown in FIG. In FIG. 30, a line K indicates a movement locus of the moving body 44. That is, the motor 18 is rotated forward to move the moving body 44 toward the head, and then the motor 18 is rotated backward to move toward the foot. At this time, although the motor 18 has a short time, the motor 18 has an off time, and the moving body 44 is shifted toward the head during this off time. By repeating this, the deviation L
Is getting bigger and bigger. In the figure, M is the stroke of the moving body 44 in the partial course. Note that FIG. 30B shows the movement trajectory of the moving body 44 when no person is riding on the main body 103 (no load), and no displacement occurs.

In this embodiment, when the moving body 44 is reciprocated at the positions G and I as shown in FIG. The reverse rotation time of the motor 18 (return time of the moving body 44) is set to be longer than (the forward time of the moving body 44). This prevents the occurrence of a shift. Note that FIG.
(D) shows the movement trajectory of the moving body 44 when no person is riding on the main body 103 (in a no-load state) when such correction is performed. In this case, the deviation L is (a).
Although it occurs in the opposite direction to the case of, there is no problem because no person is riding.

When the moving body 44 is reciprocated in the H and J portions (portions corresponding to the upwardly inclined portions in FIG. 29) in FIG. 29, the reverse of the G and I portions is performed. The correction, that is, the correction that shortens the reverse rotation time of the motor 18 (return time of the moving body 44) with respect to the normal rotation time of the motor 18 (the forward time of the moving body 44).

In the present embodiment, the entire stroke is finely divided, and a range in which the deviation is large is predicted, and the forward rotation time (forward time of the moving body 44) and the reverse rotation time (moving body 44 Reversion time) and
The above-described correction is performed.

When the warming operation is started by operating the on / off button 127 and the switching button 128 for the heater during the above-mentioned massage operation, the heater wire 80 generates heat and the body can be warmed. When the body is warmed by the flat heater 76, the blood circulation is improved, so that a more favorable massage effect is obtained by a synergistic effect with the massage by the massage rollers 42 and 43.

On the other hand, when the massaging device is to be put away, as shown in FIG. 26, the massaging device is bound in a two-folded state by the two bands 113 and 114 with the main body 103 folded. Then, the remote control box 98 and the power cord 97 are stored in the storage section 118 of one of the belts 113.

According to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. That is, when the “whole body course” in which the moving body 44 is moved in a range corresponding to the whole body of the human body is executed, a local area in which the moving body 44 reciprocates with a predetermined stroke at a position corresponding to the shoulder, waist, and calf of the human body. A massage operation is performed. Therefore,
When the “whole body course” is executed, the shoulder, the waist, and the calf, which are generally the parts to be massaged, can be massaged with emphasis. Moreover, since the parts (shoulders, hips and calves) for performing the local massage operation are set in advance, there is no need to particularly select the part to be massaged.

In this case, the positions of the shoulders, hips and calves differ depending on the height of the person to be massaged. To cover the positions, movement especially when a local massage operation is performed on a part corresponding to the calves. The stroke of the body 44 is set to be larger than the stroke of the moving body 44 when performing a local massage operation on another part. This is because the difference between the height and the height of the body is generally the length of the foot. Therefore, by increasing the stroke of the moving body 44 corresponding to the calf, it is possible to cope with the height difference as much as possible. .

Further, the stroke of the moving body 44 in the local massage operation of the part corresponding to the shoulder is set to be larger than the stroke of the moving body 44 in the local massage operation of the part corresponding to the waist. Is
This is because when a person lays down to receive a massage, the shoulder can be massaged well even if the position of the head is slightly shifted in the axial direction of the body.

There is an “upper body course” for moving the moving body 44 within a range corresponding to the upper body of the human body. When this “upper body course” is executed, a local massage operation is performed at a portion corresponding to the shoulder and waist of the human body. In addition, there is a “lower body course” in which the moving body 44 is moved in a range corresponding to the lower body of the human body, and when performing the “lower body course”, a local massage is performed on a portion corresponding to the calf of the human body. Because it is configured to perform the operation, especially when the upper body is tired, select the `` upper body course '' and conversely, when the lower body is tired, select the `` lower body course '', so that massage can be more effectively done Will be able to do it.

Further, when performing a "partial course" (partial massage course) in which a partial massage operation of reciprocating the moving body 44 by a predetermined stroke can be performed at an arbitrary position, the moving body 44 is moved to a predetermined position depending on the shape of the human body. May be gradually deviated from the range, but in order to cope with this, when the partial massage operation is performed at a portion corresponding to the inclined portion of the human body, the forward rotation time of the motor 18 (the forward time of the moving body 44) ) Or by correcting the reverse rotation time of the motor 18 (return time of the moving body 44), it is possible to minimize the occurrence of the above-described deviation and to perform the partial massage operation satisfactorily.

[0090]

According to the massage apparatus of the first aspect, when a full-body course in which the moving body is moved in a range corresponding to the whole body of the human body is executed, the massage apparatus is locally located at the site corresponding to the shoulder, waist and calf of the human body. Since the massage operation is performed, it is possible to focus on the shoulder, waist and calf, which are generally the parts to be massaged,
An efficient massage can be performed. Moreover, since the parts (shoulders, hips and calves) for performing the local massage operation are set in advance, there is no need to particularly select the part to be massaged, and the operation is simple.

Also, by setting the stroke of the moving body when performing a local massage operation on a part corresponding to a calf to be larger than the stroke of the moving body when performing a local massage operation on another part, the height difference can be minimized. Will be able to

According to the massage apparatus of the second aspect , the stroke of the moving body in the local massage operation of the portion corresponding to the shoulder is larger than the stroke of the moving body in the local massage operation of the portion corresponding to the waist. With this setting, when a person lays down to receive a massage, the shoulder can be massaged well even if the position of the head is slightly shifted in the axial direction of the body.

[0093]

According to the massage device of the third aspect , there is an upper body course for moving the moving body within a range corresponding to the upper body of the human body. When the upper body course is executed, the upper body course corresponds to the shoulder and the waist of the human body. Because it is configured to perform a local massage operation at the site, by performing this upper body course especially when the upper body is tired,
Massage can be performed more effectively.

According to the massage device of the fourth aspect , there is a lower body course for moving the moving body within a range corresponding to the lower body of the human body. When the lower body course is executed, a part corresponding to the calf of the human body is provided. Because it is configured to perform a local massage operation, by performing this lower body course especially when the lower body is tired,
Massage can be performed more effectively.

According to the massage apparatus of the fifth aspect , when performing a partial massage course in which a partial massage operation of reciprocating a moving body with a predetermined stroke can be performed at an arbitrary position, the massage apparatus can handle an inclined portion of a human body. When performing a partial massage operation at a part to be performed, by correcting the forward time of the moving body or the return time of the moving body, it is possible to minimize the occurrence of displacement of the moving body and to perform the partial massage operation satisfactorily. become able to.
