Description

The present invention relates to a health-promoting mechanical device, and more particularly to a massage machine that applies vertical vibrations from the soles of the feet to the entire body of a standing person.

Conventionally, there are various types of health maintenance devices that stimulate a part of the human body by oscillating and improving blood circulation in the part. For example, there are a shoulder tapping machine that taps the shoulder of a person sitting in an easy chair, a massage machine that holds a user or the like with his hand and applies a slight vibration to a part of the body.

Further, as shown in Patent Literature 1 below, there is a massage machine that hits the soles of feet of a standing person.
Japanese Patent Application No. 8-337123

However, all of these health-promoting machines only provide mechanical stimulation to a part of the body such as the shoulder, and do not provide stimulation to the whole body.

In addition, the main purpose is to recover a part of the physical disorder such as improving the blood circulation of the shoulder to the last, and to enhance the exercise function of the user like exercise equipment, for example, an indoor marathon machine. There is no, or even few.

機械 In addition, machinery such as an indoor marathon machine that increases the user's athletic function and increases muscle strength is generally expensive.

For this reason, not only stimulating only the local part of the body that the user thinks is upset, but also stimulating the whole body to exert a massage effect, and further improving the user's health as a result of the whole body massage effect In addition, it increases muscle strength and, in the case of women, exerts an anti-obesity or beauty effect by consuming energy. In addition, the development of an inexpensive health promotion machine has been desired.

The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, and the present invention is intended to maintain the health of the present invention. Is repeatedly given to apply a vertical acceleration repeatedly to the entire body of the user.

In addition, the vertical vibrations and impacts are obtained by extracting rotation from right and left of a motor installed in a direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction (right and left) just below the center of the body of the user, and utilizing the rotational force of the motor thus taken out. Have given. For this reason, a pulley and belt system is adopted.

の 他 In addition to the above, various measures are taken to prevent unnecessary vibration from being applied to the floor and the like.

The vertical vibration massage machine of the present invention gives a vertical vibration to the platform under the user while the user is standing up, so that the massage effect of the whole body is excellent. Particularly, the massage effect of the waist and the legs is excellent.

Similarly, massaging the whole body, not local massage, applies vertical vibrations to the legs, waist, and back muscles, which leads to increased muscle strength and also consumes energy in the body, especially for women. In some cases, a cosmetic effect also occurs.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on its best mode.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a mechanism in which the massaging machine vibrates up and down while the user stands and rides by the vibration generating mechanism shown in FIG.

に お い て In each of these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes an upper casing, reference numeral 11 denotes a pedestal on the upper surface of the left and right feet, and reference numeral 12 denotes a start / stop button. 14 is a gripping hole for gripping and transporting by hand. Reference numeral 2 denotes a lower casing, and reference numeral 21 denotes a total of four legs attached to the lower surface. Reference numeral 3 denotes a motor, and 31 denotes a shaft protruding from both ends thereof. 32 is two small pulleys fixed to the motor shaft, 33 is a V-belt, and 34 is a large pulley. 35 is a rotation shaft of the large pulley. 41 is a motor bearing. Reference numeral 42 denotes a large pulley bearing. 51 is a spring. 52 is an arm for taking out vibration. 53 is an eccentric shaft.

Hereinafter, this vertical vibration massage machine will be described with reference to these drawings.

First, the method of use will be described. The user places both feet on the synthetic resin foot pedestals 11 at two places on the left and right of the apparatus placed on the floor, and presses the start / stop button 12. Then, the upper casing of the vertical vibration massage machine vibrates lightly up and down at 800 cycles per minute. In this state, the user stands up from the forward leaning sitting posture for pressing the start / stop button. Under the action of the control mechanism described later, the user remains standing until the vertical vibration is automatically stopped in one minute, whereby the whole is massaged.

In this vertical vibration massage machine, the upper and lower casings vibrate together instead of the right and left foot pedestals individually. Consideration is given to minimizing the occurrence of unbalance and mismatch, and to simplify the mechanism.

Next, the vibration source will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the vibration source of the vertical vibration massage machine is the electric motor 3. In this motor, the rotating shaft 31 projects outward from both ends of the motor body to the left and right as viewed from the user in use, and each small pulley 32 is attached to the rotating shaft projecting left and right. The rotational forces of the two small pulleys are transmitted to the two large pulleys 34 via the V-belts 33, respectively. Further, the rotational force of the two large pulleys is transmitted through an eccentric shaft 53 attached at a position distant from the rotational shaft and a vibration extracting arm 52 having a lower end penetrated by the eccentric shaft. Vibration force. The arm for taking out vibrations is attached to the upper casing through a shaft 54 located on the lower surface of the upper casing.

Hereinafter, the vibration of the upper casing will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in (A) of the figure, the weight of the user is basically or almost supported by two left and right spring coils 51 interposed between the upper casing and the lower casing. Then, as shown in (B), the vibration take-out arm 52 extends downward on the back surface (the lower surface inside the casing) on the front side as viewed from the user of the upper casing, and its tip end is penetrated by the eccentric shaft 53 of the large pulley 34. I have. Therefore, the upper casing vibrates up and down, strictly, back and forth with the rotation of the large pulley. Furthermore, since the weight and the like of the user and the elastic force generated by the compression of the spring vibrate in a balanced state, the user on the upper casing has a further vibration sensation.

Lastly, the configuration of the electric unit of the massage machine will be described with reference to FIG. This massage machine is driven by a power supply of AC100V. Further, a non-hub breaker 62 and a thermostat 63 near the motor 3 are provided as safety devices. When the user presses the switch 12, a timer 61 built in the controller 6 is activated, and stops after 60 seconds. In addition to the above, even if the user presses the switch 12, the operation is stopped.

The automatic stop in 60 seconds is performed in consideration of the importance of everything, especially the prevention of overheating of the motor in summer.

の 他 In addition to the above, the present vertical vibration massage machine naturally has a mechanism for minimizing the transmission of vibration to the building floor, a stopper between upper and lower casings, a fitting mechanism, and the like. Further, the foot pedestal has a large number of irregularities formed on the upper back surface thereof to prevent slippage, and the start / stop operation button is covered with a waterproof rubber film. However, these are not directly related to the configuration of the present invention and are also known technologies. Therefore, the description of them is omitted.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In the present embodiment, the total number of springs is four. However, in the figure, only two 511 and 512 are shown.

Although the present invention has been described based on the embodiments, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to them. That is, for example, the following may be performed.
The operation unit for starting and stopping is connected to the main body via a cord, so that the user can control starting and stopping while standing. The vertical acceleration can be adjusted accordingly. For this reason, an apartment with a firm floor can be used with somewhat higher acceleration, unlike a normal house.
Since the user stands on both legs, it is assumed to be integrally combined with a weight scale, a body fat scale and the like.
It vibrates for each of the left and right foot pedestals.
A frame that is held by hand is attached for infants and children.
It can be used for massage of one or both calves.
