DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention enables automatic treatment in which a treatment element automatically changes its operation and operation position based on a preset operation pattern or an operation pattern set by a user. Is about a massage machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a massage machine capable of performing automatic treatment, if only automatic treatment can be performed, the number of switches provided on an operating device can be reduced. On the other hand, in order to enhance the treatment effect, if it becomes possible for the user to specify the operation position of the treatment element finely and to set the operation mode during automatic treatment to the one desired by the user, the operating device Has to be provided with a large number of switches.

[0003]

In this case, fine control of the movement cannot be performed in the former case, and the user cannot perform a desired operation. In the latter case, control that can respond to various requests from the user can be performed, but the operation becomes complicated, and some users may feel disgust.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a massage machine which can be easily controlled when used easily and finely controlled when moving complicatedly. To be.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided an automatic medical treatment apparatus in which a treatment element automatically changes its operation and operation position based on an operation pattern set in advance or an operation pattern set by a user. in capable massager comprises a first manipulator provided with a switch for starting an automatic treatment, and a second operation unit that can issue detailed instructions from the first operating unit, a second operation The vessel is
Settings that allow the user to set the operation pattern
Means for starting automatic treatment of the first operating device.
Switches that pre-set the operation pattern set by the user.
Call prior to the set operation pattern
And a is a particular feature of.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a simple operation can be achieved by using the first operation device when it is used easily, and a fine control can be performed by using the second operation device when trying to move it in a complicated manner. It can be performed. In addition, user-defined operation patterns
Settings and priority use of this operation pattern.
I can.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. This massage machine has a massage mechanism M incorporated in the back of a chair or a bed.
The example shown in FIG. 1 shows that the chair 1 is incorporated in a backrest 12 capable of reclining freely so as to be movable up and down. The chair 1 is provided with a seat 11 and an armrest 13 on a lower frame 10 framed by a pipe, and the lower part of the frame of the backrest 12 is pivotally connected to the lower frame 10 so that the lower end of the backrest 12 and the lower frame 10 A gas spring 15 is attached so that the backrest 12 can be reclined by the expansion and contraction of the gas spring 15 by electric power.
6 is rotatably mounted.

[0008] As shown in FIG.
A motor block M1 and a solenoid block M2 are provided, and the output of the motor block M1 is
Switching by 2 causes the treatment element to perform a fir movement, a vertical movement and a tapping movement, and includes a fir force sensor M3 and a position sensor M4 for detecting the position of the treatment element.

The massage mechanism M is connected to a control circuit C. Control circuit C1 and position detection circuit C
2. A control circuit section C including a fir-force detection circuit C3, a solenoid drive circuit C4, a motor drive circuit C5, and a storage circuit C0, based on instructions from the first operation device A and the second operation device B Then, the massage mechanism M is operated. R in FIG. 1 indicates the reclining of the backrest 12 and the ottoman 16.
The electric reclining mechanism is responsible for the rotation of
C is an electric reclining control circuit unit.

The first operation device A is disposed inside the front end of the armrest 13, and as shown in FIG. 4, a switch matrix A1 including an operation / storage switch and a stop switch, and an operation display lamp A2. And a second operating device B connected by a cord.
As shown in FIG. 3, a switch matrix B1 composed of a large number of various switches capable of finely specifying the operation mode and the operation position of the treatment element, and a large number of light emitting elements for emitting and displaying the selected switches. Light emitting element matrix B2 and display section B3 formed of a liquid crystal panel
, A notification circuit B4, and a control circuit C1 of the control circuit unit C.
And a control circuit B5 for sending a command given by performing digital communication with the control circuit C1 to the control circuit C1 side.

The operation instruction that the first operating device A can send to the control circuit C through the electric reclining control circuit RC can be given only by the operation / storage switch as described above. When an operation instruction is given by the operation / storage switch, as shown in FIG. 6, the control circuit C1 checks whether or not the operation pattern set by the user is stored in the storage circuit C6, and performs the user setting. If there is an operation pattern, the operation based on this operation pattern is instructed to the massage mechanism M, and if there is no operation pattern set by the user, the operation based on a predetermined required operation pattern is transmitted to the massage mechanism M. To instruct. Then, when the operation pattern is completed, the massage mechanism M is returned to the storage position.

On the other hand, in the second operating device B, it is possible to change the operation pattern in the automatic treatment or create a new operation pattern by giving instructions from various switches during operation. With memory switch B
By inputting 1a, a new operation pattern formed by such a change or new creation can be stored in the storage circuit C0 of the control circuit unit C.
FIG. 5 shows a flowchart when a new operation pattern is created by making a change and stored in the storage circuit C0.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, the first device provided with a switch for starting automatic treatment when used easily.
It is easy to use by using the operating device of the above, and when trying to move it in a complicated manner, it is possible to perform fine control by using the second operating device, and the usability is improved. is there. In addition, using a second operating device,
If the user sets the operation pattern of, the first operation
When the automatic treatment is started by operating the switch of the container, the second
The user-set operation pattern set using the
Called prior to the preset operation pattern
To easily obtain the user's favorite operation pattern.
Can be
