Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a massage machine having an automatic treatment function.
[0002]
[Prior art]
There is a massage machine with an automatic treatment function that sequentially executes a plurality of different massage operations according to a procedure according to a preset program, but those equipped with this type of automatic treatment function are prepared in advance. Some programs are for everyone and do not fit the user's personal preferences or symptoms of stiffness .
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of these points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a massage machine that can easily make a course massage using an automatic treatment function a favorite.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, the present invention provides a massage machine with an automatic treatment function that sequentially executes a massage operation in accordance with a preset program, and other types that do not include the operation of hitting the massage operation included in the program. It is characterized in that a change switch for changing to a massage operation is provided . If you don't like the tapping massage action, you can replace it with another kind of massage action and receive automatic treatment .

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an example of an embodiment, and any mechanical configuration of the massage machine may be used. For example, as in the massage mechanism disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-449496 Rolling massage that moves the treatment element along the human body while keeping the treatment element in contact with the human body. As long as it is possible to give a massage, the intensity of each massage can be adjusted, and the massage operation speed can be changed by changing the motor speed by duty ratio control or the like.
[0006]
The automatic treatment function stores a table in which parameters such as the type of massage operation, operation position, strength, speed, etc. are arranged in order of steps in a storage storage means such as an EEPROM, and a control circuit comprising a microcomputer steps the table. It can be obtained by reading in order and causing the massage mechanism to perform an operation according to the parameters.
[0007]
Here, when the switch for instructing the automatic course massage is operated by the operation device, in the present invention, the entire table is once transferred from the storage storage means to the temporary storage means including the RAM, and the temporary storage means The pointer is moved to the first step of the table and the massage operation of the first step is performed by the massage mechanism. When this massage operation is completed, the pointer is moved to the second step and the massage operation of the second step is massaged. By causing the mechanism to perform, the massage operation of each step is sequentially executed.
[0008]
Then, if the “fast” or “slow” speed change switch provided on the controller is operated during the execution of the automatic course massage, the control circuit performs all steps (or speeds) in the table on the temporary storage means. Rewrite the speed parameter of the step being executed when the change switch is pressed and the subsequent steps. For example, if the “Hayaku” speed change switch is pressed, the speed parameter is incremented by 1, and if the “slow” speed change switch is operated, the speed parameter is set to minus 1 or minus 2. .
[0009]
Since the speed of the massage operation to be performed is determined by the value of the speed parameter on the table, all massage operations to be performed later from the time when the speed change switch is operated must be performed at the changed speed. become.
[0010]
Even if the intensity of the massage operation is the same, if the intensity change switch provided in the operating device is operated in the same manner, all the steps in the table on the temporary storage means (or when the intensity change switch is pressed). Rewrite the strength parameter of the step being executed and subsequent steps) to a value depending on whether the strength change switch is to be stronger or weaker, and execute the subsequent massage operation with the changed strength. To be done.
[0011]
However, with regard to the strength, simply setting the parameter to plus 1 or minus 1 may make it difficult to set the strength appropriate for each massage operation. It is preferable to set in advance a parameter corresponding to the strength of each, and to include an instruction bit for selecting which parameter, and to rewrite the instruction bit by operating the strength change switch.
[0012]
Furthermore, when the user does not like the tapping massage in the one that includes the tapping massage operation during the automatic course massage operation, it is painful to receive the massage using the automatic treatment function. In order to cope with this, a switch of “no tapping” is provided in the operating device here . When the automatic course massage operation is started, or when the switch for selecting the automatic course massage operation is operated after the “tapless” switch is operated, the user taps on the table transferred from the storage means to the temporary storage means. the steps for massaging operation, all other massaging operations, so that would replace the Tatoebamomi massaging operation. An automatic course massage operation that does not include a tapping massage operation can be obtained.
[0013]
Furthermore, when there is a pleasant massage operation during the automatic course massage operation, it is often desirable to extend the time during which the massage operation is performed. To deal with this point, a switch that instructs the controller to “repeat” If the switch is operated, the same content as the step corresponding to the currently executing massage operation on the table transferred from the storage storage means to the temporary storage means is set between the next step. When the massage operation at the current step is completed or when the switch is pressed, the pointer may move to the insertion step to perform the massage operation at the insertion step.
[0014]
The table on the temporary storage means is rewritten according to the operation of the speed change switch, the strength change switch, the “tapless” switch, or the “repeat” switch. Even when the automatic course massage operation is completed, it is held on the temporary storage means, and if the "registration" switch provided on the operating device is pressed, the table with the above changes is stored in memory such as EEPROM. When the “memory course” switch provided on the operating device is pressed, the rewritten table is transferred from the storage storage means to the temporary storage means, and the table is stored. The automatic course massage operation based on the It is possible. It should be noted that the registration operation is completed for the user if the “complete” display provided on the operation unit emits light when the changed table is transferred and stored in the storage storage means such as EEPROM. Can be recognized and is easy to use.
