Description

  The present invention relates to an electric massage machine having a massage head for performing massage by pushing, pushing or chopping the body, and in particular, a massage attachment suitable for a body part to be massaged is provided on the massage head in a detachable manner. It is related with the electric massage machine currently used.

  Conventionally, various types of massage machines have been proposed in which the motor of the vibration generating unit including the motor and the weight provided on the rotating shaft thereof is provided on the handle side and the weight is provided on the massage head side. For example, a hand-held electric massage machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-173405 has a vibrating head connected to a handle case via a connecting spring, and a roller applied to an affected part is rotatably supported on the vibrating head. As a result, the roller rotates when the vibrating head is applied to the affected part via the roller, so that it can be moved comfortably even when the vibrating head is applied to the affected part. Further, for example, in the massage / electric hair washing brush disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-258974, a vibration head is provided on a casing having a built-in motor via an elastic member, and a motor shaft of the motor is protruded from the vibration head. The vibrator is mounted eccentrically, and a brush made of a flexible material is attached to one side of the vibration head. As a result, the head is massaged to increase capillary blood circulation, and the pores can be removed simultaneously with the hair washing using a brush.

  Thus, a required effect can be raised by making the vibration head conform to the purpose for each purpose of the massage.

  However, it is a great burden to arrange several massage machines with different vibrating heads for each purpose of massage. Therefore, the present inventor thought that a single massage machine should have a plurality of different roles. That is, it was considered that a plurality of the vibration heads should be prepared in accordance with each purpose, and the vibration heads can be replaced according to the purpose. For example, the vibration head of the hand-held electric massage machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-173405 is different from the vibration head of the electric massage hair brush used as a massage disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-258974. You can replace the head with a single massage machine and use it. As a result of such studies, the present inventors have arrived at the invention of the electric massage system disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-301335.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-173405 JP 2001-258974 A JP 2007-301335 A

  The electric massage system disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-301335 has an effect that a number of different types of vibration heads can be properly used with a single massage machine. This is an excellent invention, but the following problems are encountered. I had. That is, the detachable vibration head has a problem that it gradually loosens and disengages gradually due to the powerful vibration motion of the massage machine. Then, it had to be retightened or reattached, and it took time to use it.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, and to provide a vibrating head detachable massage machine that is less likely to be loosened or detached even by the powerful vibration motion of the massage machine.

  Prior to solving this problem, the inventor of the present invention is that the vibration generating part is composed of a motor and a weight provided on the rotation shaft thereof, so that the vibration head portion vibrates in all directions with the rotation axis of the motor as the vibration axis. I came to realize that this is the cause. Such vibrations are extremely difficult to control and loosen the detachable vibration head, but they tend to be regarded as irrelevant because they are primarily intended for body massage. However, if the vibration direction can be controlled, the above-described problem can be solved.

  That is, the above-described problem is that a massage head including a vibration generating unit including an electromagnetic coil and a vibrator that can be reciprocally oscillated therein, and a massage head that is provided in a reciprocating vibration direction of the vibrator to support the massage head. And a handle having an oscillation circuit for supplying an alternating current to the electromagnetic coil, and a massage attachment provided so as to be detachable with respect to the massage head, and the attachment / detachment direction of the massage attachment is This is achieved by using an electric massage machine characterized by being configured to have substantially the same direction as the reciprocating vibration direction. When the electric massage machine is turned on, the oscillation circuit oscillates to generate an alternating current, which is applied to the electromagnetic coil to generate magnetic lines of force, and the magnetic lines generate reciprocal vibrations in the vibrator. As a result, the massage head and the massage attachment reciprocate.

  The vibrator may be a permanent magnet. Although it is possible to configure the vibrator with an electromagnet, there is an advantage that an unstable mechanism such as a contact point or a brush for power supply is not necessary if the permanent magnet is a permanent magnet. In addition, the number of sets of electromagnetic coils and vibrators that constitute one vibration generating unit can be a plurality of sets. In addition, a part of the vibrator is taken out of the electromagnetic coil, and a weight is provided at the taken-out part. Since the vibrator housed inside the electromagnetic coil cannot be very large due to the space, a larger inertia force can be obtained by taking a part of the vibrator outside the electromagnetic coil and providing a weight on it. Can be used.

  The vibration generating part of this electric massage machine is configured such that the vibrator reciprocates. In addition, as described above, the electric massage machine of the present application is for performing massage by adding or chopping the body or adding chops as described above, and therefore the reciprocating vibration direction of the massage head is substantially the same as the direction of pressing or piercing the body or applying chops. I'm doing it. Therefore, the massage attachment is detachable with respect to the massage head, but the attachment / detachment direction is almost the same as the direction in which the body is pushed, pushed or chopped, so the massage attachment applies massage to any part. Even if it is a thing, force is applied to the direction of the massage head by the body while massaging the body. As a result, the massage attachment is less likely to loosen and is less likely to fall off. In addition, when this reciprocating vibration is generated, it can be raised as a feature that it is relatively quiet.

  The massage head and the massage attachment are configured to transmit at least part of the lines of magnetic force so that a body that directly or indirectly touches the massage head is exposed to an alternating magnetic field generated from the electromagnetic coil. Can be.

  The magnetic field generated by the alternating magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil and the vibrator performing the reciprocating vibration extends to the body part that is in contact with the massage head and the massage attachment, and the effect of magnetic therapy is exerted on the body part. give. A general plastic material can be used for the massage head. Silicone rubber or the like can be used for the massage attachment.

  Moreover, it is good also as a thing provided with the secondary battery for supplying electric power to the said vibration generation part to the said handle. If it charges with respect to the said secondary battery from a household power supply, this application electric massage machine can be used cordlessly and is convenient.

  This device is characterized in that the attachment / detachment direction of the massage attachment is substantially the same as the reciprocating vibration direction of the vibrator. As a result, the reciprocating vibration direction of the massage head almost coincides with the direction in which the body is pushed, struck, or chopped, so the force in the direction of the massage head is applied to the massage attachment from the body being massaged. .

  As a result, there is an effect that the massage attachment is less likely to loosen and is less likely to fall off.

  It is explanatory drawing of an Example.   It is explanatory drawing showing the state which inserted and attached the massage attachment 4. FIG.   It is a section explanatory view of a vibrator.   It is a block diagram of a vibrator drive part.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the electric massage machine of this embodiment includes a massage machine 1 and a massage attachment 4. The massage machine 1 includes a massage head 13, and a massage attachment 4 is detachably provided on the massage head 13.

  The massage attachment 4 includes a base 41 made of silicon rubber having a flexible surface and a finger-shaped acupressure part 40 at the tip, and an insertion recess 42 is formed in the base 41. The insertion recess 42 is provided in such a size that the above-described massage head 13 fits perfectly. When the massage attachment 4 is attached from the insertion recess 42 so as to cover the massage head 30, the acupressure part 40 is provided. It can be a new massage machine that is the subject. Such a massage attachment can be used properly according to the situation by preparing a plurality of shapes and sizes suitable for the body part to be massaged. For example, in addition to the finger shape as in this embodiment, the shape of the base of the thumb of the palm or the shape of the palm that becomes a chop is used as the massage attachment.

  The massage machine 1 includes a vibrator 2 as shown in FIG. The vibrator 2 is formed by covering the periphery of a cylindrical vibrator composed of a magnetically permeable peripheral wall portion 21 and side wall portions 22 and 22 on both sides with a magnetically permeable hard case 20. The side wall portions 22 and 22 on both sides are each provided with a bearing 23 through which a shaft 24 passes, and magnetic springs 6 and 60 (described later) are fixed inside. Further, a yoke 3 having a central hole through which the shaft 24 passes and an electromagnetic coil 30 wound around the outer periphery of the yoke 3 are fixed at the outer periphery of the electromagnetic coil 30. . Further, between the electromagnetic coil 30 and the magnetic springs 6, 60 on both sides thereof, permanent magnets 5, 50 are fixed to the shaft 24 that is passed through the central hole of the permanent magnets 5, 50. In this embodiment, each of the permanent magnets 5 and 50 is disposed so that the side toward the yoke 3 is an S pole. In this embodiment, the magnetic springs 6 and 60 are arranged such that the side toward the permanent magnets 5 and 50 is an N pole.

  As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4, the drive unit of the vibrator 2 includes an oscillating unit 31 that generates low-frequency vibration for massage purposes, and an electromagnetic coil connected to the output end of the oscillating unit 31 via the control unit 31. 30, a charging unit 34 that supplies power to them, and a power supply unit 32 connected to the charging unit 34 via a control unit 31. Although not shown, the control unit 31 includes an operation unit for setting the oscillation frequency and a display unit for displaying the ON / OFF state of the power source, the oscillation frequency, and the like. In this embodiment, the power supply unit 32 is an adapter connected to a household power source. A power cord 12 is connected to the power supply unit 32. In addition, regarding the setting of the oscillation frequency, this embodiment can be set to a frequency at which the body feels comfortable. This comfortable frequency varies depending on the individual, varies depending on the body part, and feels different depending on the mood at that time, so it may be adjusted to be optimal.

  Now, when the switch 11 of the handle 10 of the massage machine 1, that is, the control unit 31 is turned on, the oscillation unit 33 generates an alternating current, which is supplied to the electromagnetic coil 30, and the electromagnetic coil 30 passes through the yoke 3. M is generated. Magnetic poles N and S appear alternately on both sides of the yoke 3. The situation at this time will be described with reference to FIG. 3. The yoke 3 on the magnetic pole N side and the south pole of the permanent magnet 5 attract each other, and the yoke 3 on the magnetic pole S side and the south pole of the permanent magnet 50. Are repelling each other, the shaft 24 moves in the right direction (arrow direction) in FIG. However, since the magnetic pole of the yoke 3 of the electromagnetic coil 30 reverses at the next moment, the shaft 24 moves to the left in FIG. In this way, vibration is generated in the shaft 24. At this time, the permanent magnets 5 and 50 increase the inertial force by their own weight. Whether the shaft 24 moves rightward or leftward, the N pole of the permanent magnet 5 and the N pole of the magnetic spring 6 repel each other, and the N pole of the permanent magnet 50 and the N pole Since the N pole of the magnetic spring 60 repels, it does not happen that the shaft 24 swings too much to the left and right. In this way, vibration is generated in the vibrator 2, and this vibration appears as vibration of the massage head 13. Accordingly, the massage attachment 4 inserted in the massage head 13 vibrates in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

  Since the massage head 13 side and the handle 10 side are connected by a bellows 14 and a coil spring (not shown) inside the bellows 14, vibration of the vibrator 2 is strongly generated mainly on the massage head 13 side when the handle 10 is held. For this reason, it can press by the acupressure part 40 which vibrates by applying the massage attachment 4 to the required site | part of a body.

  In the present invention, the direction of the vibration represented by the reciprocating arrows in FIG. 2, that is, the direction in which the body acupressures and the direction in which the reaction of the finger pressure is applied coincides with the attachment / detachment direction of the massage attachment 4. is important.

  Incidentally, as described above, the vibrator 2 includes the magnetically permeable peripheral wall portion 21 and the hard case 20. Therefore, by configuring the massage head 13 and the massage attachment 4 with a permeable material, the magnetic lines M generated inside the vibrator 2 pass through the peripheral wall 21, the hard case 20, the massage head 13, and the massage attachment 4. Thus, the body touching the massage attachment 4 is influenced (the blood flow of the body exposed to the alternating magnetic field is positively affected).

  Since this device is not limited only to the above-described embodiments, it is free to use any type of massage machine, and a massage attachment having a shape and material suitable for the shape and material of the massage head is provided. do it. As a massage attachment to massage by pressing the shoulder and back, it is also interesting to devise a shape that mimics the hand of a cat.
