Description

本発明は、脚用マッサージ機、殊に椅子の座部前端に回動自在に取り付けられた脚用マッサージ機で、膨張収縮自在な空気袋を備えたものに関する。   The present invention relates to a leg massage machine, and more particularly to a leg massage machine that is pivotally attached to the front end of a seat of a chair and is provided with an inflatable and contractible air bag.

空気袋の膨張収縮によってふくらはぎなどのマッサージを行う脚用マッサージ機は良く知られているが、このほかアキレス腱をストレッチさせる機能を備えたものが例えば特開２００４−１３６１１３号公報に示されている。しかしこの脚用マッサージ機は足先の裏面を押し上げるだけのものであるために、使用者が意識して踵を脚用マッサージ機に押し付けるようにして踵が浮かないようにしなくてはアキレス腱をストレッチさせることはできない。
特開２００４−１３６１１３号公報 A leg massage machine that performs massage such as calf by inflating and contracting an air bag is well known, but another one having a function of stretching an Achilles tendon is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-136113. However, because this leg massage machine only pushes up the back of the toes, the user must be conscious and press the heel against the leg massage machine to stretch the Achilles tendon. I can't let you.
JP 2004-136113 A

本発明は上記の従来の問題点に鑑みて発明したものであって、アキレス腱のストレッチを確実に行うことができる脚用マッサージ機を提供することを課題とするものである。   The present invention was invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a leg massage machine that can reliably stretch the Achilles tendon.

上記課題を解決するために本発明に係る脚用マッサージ機は、人体のふくらはぎ部のマッサージ用の膨張収縮自在なマッサージ用空気袋と、膨張収縮自在で且つ膨張時に足先の裏面側を押圧するストレッチ用空気袋とを備えるとともに、マッサージ用空気袋は、少なくとも人体の足首に最も近い位置にありふくらはぎ部の下部を押圧する容量の小さい空気袋と、上記容量の小さい空気袋の外周側に配置されふくらはぎ部の全体を押圧する容量の大きい空気袋とを有し、上記容量の小さい空気袋を膨張させた後にストレッチ用空気袋を膨張させる制御部を備え、人体の足首に最も近い位置にある上記容量の小さい空気袋を膨張させて人体の足首を固定した後、上記容量の小さい空気袋を膨張させた状態で上記ストレッチ用空気袋を膨張させて足先の裏面側を押圧するアキレス腱ストレッチ用の動作モードを有することに特徴を有している。 In order to solve the above problems, a leg massage machine according to the present invention includes an inflatable / contractible massage air bag for massaging a calf portion of a human body, and an inflatable / contractible massage air bag, and presses the back side of the toe during inflation. The air bag for stretching is disposed at the outer peripheral side of the air bag with a small capacity that is at least closest to the ankle of the human body and presses the lower part of the calf, and the air bag for the massage. And a large-capacity air bag that presses the entire calf portion, and includes a control unit that inflates the stretch air bag after inflating the small-capacity air bag, and is located closest to the ankle of the human body After inflating the small capacity air bag to fix the ankle of the human body, the stretch air bag is inflated with the small capacity air bag inflated. And particularly characterized with a mode of operation for Achilles tendon stretch for pressing the back side of the.

マッサージ用空気袋の膨張で足首の位置を規制した状態でストレッチ用空気袋を膨張させるために、ストレッチ時に使用者の踵が浮いてしまうことがなく、このために確実にアキレス腱をストレッチさせることができるものである。   In order to inflate the air bag for stretching while the ankle position is regulated by the expansion of the air bag for massage, the user's heel will not float when stretching, and for this reason, the Achilles tendon can be stretched reliably It can be done.

ここにおいて、制御部はストレッチ用空気袋を膨張させる前に膨張させる人体の足首に最も近い位置にある空気袋に容量の小さい空気袋を用いるため、足首を固定する状態に至る応答性を向上することができる。 Here, the control unit uses a small-capacity air bag for the air bag closest to the ankle of the human body to be inflated before the stretch air bag is inflated, so that the responsiveness to the state where the ankle is fixed is improved . Can

また、椅子の座部前端に回動自在に連結されているとともに回動駆動を行う回動駆動手段を備えているものにおいては、制御部はアキレス腱ストレッチに際しての足首に最も近い位置にある空気袋の膨張に先立って脚用マッサージ機を上記回動駆動手段にて上方に回動させるものであることが好ましい。上方回動により人体の踵が脚用マッサージ機に当接する状態がより強くなるために、アキレス腱のストレッチも更に確実なものとなる。   In addition, in the case of being provided with a rotation driving means that is rotatably connected to the front end of the seat portion of the chair and that performs rotation driving, the control unit is an air bag that is closest to the ankle during Achilles tendon stretching Prior to the expansion, the leg massage machine is preferably rotated upward by the rotation driving means. Since the state where the human heel is in contact with the leg massage machine becomes stronger due to the upward rotation, the stretch of the Achilles tendon is further ensured.

また、制御部はストレッチ用空気袋を膨張させるに際して空気袋に空気を供給するポンプの流量をマッサージ用空気袋への空気供給に際しての流量よりも大とするものであってもよい。ストレッチ用空気袋を膨張させる時、配管の都合で既に膨張している空気袋内の空気がストレッチ用空気袋に流入してしまう場合においても、足首の固定が緩くなってしまうことが殆どなく、確実にアキレス腱のストレッチ動作を行うことができる。   Further, the control unit may increase the flow rate of the pump that supplies air to the air bag when the stretch air bag is inflated, than the flow rate when the air is supplied to the massage air bag. When inflating the stretch air bag, even if the air in the air bag that has already been inflated for convenience of piping flows into the stretch air bag, the ankle is hardly fixed loosely, The Achilles tendon can be stretched reliably.

本発明は、マッサージ用空気袋の膨張で人体の足首の位置を規制し、この状態でストレッチ用空気袋を膨張させることで足先裏面を押し上げるために、使用者の踵が浮いてしまったりすることないものであり、このためにストレッチ用空気袋の膨張によるアキレス腱のストレッチ時に使用者の踵が浮いてしまうことがなく、このために確実にアキレス腱をストレッチさせることができるものである。しかも複数個の空気袋で構成されたマッサージ用空気袋のうちの人体の足首に最も近い位置にある空気袋を膨張させて足首を固定するために、足首を固定する状態に至るまでに要する時間も短くて応答性の良いのものである。 The present invention regulates the position of the ankle of the human body by inflating the massage air bag, and in this state, inflating the stretch air bag to push up the back surface of the foot, the user's heel may float it is intended not, no want Ukoto floating heel of the user for this when stretch of the Achilles tendon by inflation stretching bladder, in which it is possible to reliably stretch Achilles for this. Moreover, the time required to reach the state where the ankle is fixed in order to inflate the air bag closest to the ankle of the human body among the air bags for massage composed of a plurality of air bags and fix the ankle. It is also short and responsive.

以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施形態に基いて説明すると、図１は本発明に係る脚用マッサージ機２を備えた椅子側のマッサージ機１を示しており、背もたれ１０内に肩や背をマッサージするためのマッサージ機３を備えている図示例のマッサージ機１では、座部の前端に軸２９で脚用マッサージ機２を回動自在に連結しているとともに伸縮アクチュエータ５を脚用マッサージ機２の回動駆動手段として備えて、脚用マッサージ機２は椅子１におけるオットマン（足置き台）としての機能も果たすようになっている。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a chair-side massage machine 1 provided with a leg massage machine 2 according to the present invention. In the illustrated massage machine 1 including the massage machine 3 for massaging, the leg massage machine 2 is pivotally connected to the front end of the seat by a shaft 29 and the telescopic actuator 5 is massaged for the leg. The leg massage machine 2 is provided as a rotation drive means of the machine 2 and also functions as an ottoman (footrest) in the chair 1.

また脚用マッサージ機２は、図２に示すように、人体におけるふくらはぎ部から足先までの部分を納めることができる溝２９を具備するとともに、この溝２９の内壁に複数個の空気袋２０〜２５を配置したもので、これら空気袋２０〜２５のうち、空気袋２１，２２，２３はふくらはぎ部のマッサージのためのものであり、空気袋２０は空気袋２１，２２，２３の外周側に配置されたものであり、空気袋２４は人体の足部をマッサージするための空気袋であり、更に空気袋２５は人体の足先部を押し上げることでアキレス腱をストレッチさせるためのものである。   As shown in FIG. 2, the leg massage machine 2 includes a groove 29 that can accommodate a portion from the calf portion to the foot tip in the human body, and a plurality of air bags 20 to 20 are formed on the inner wall of the groove 29. 25, of these air bags 20 to 25, the air bags 21, 22, and 23 are for massaging the calf, and the air bag 20 is disposed on the outer peripheral side of the air bags 21, 22, and 23. The air bag 24 is an air bag for massaging the foot part of the human body, and the air bag 25 is for stretching the Achilles tendon by pushing up the foot part of the human body.

そしてこれら空気袋２０〜２５は、ポンプＰに夫々三方電磁弁で構成されたバルブＶ0〜Ｖ5を介して接続されているとともに、空気袋２０とバルブＶ0との間には更に保圧用バルブＶ6が接続されており、ポンプＰ及びバルブＶ0〜Ｖ6と前記アクチュエータ５は制御部Ｃの制御下に置かれている。また、制御部Ｃには操作入力用のコントローラＨと、脚用マッサージ機２のアクチュエータ５による回動位置を検出する位置センサＳが接続されている。 These air bags 20 to 25 are connected to the pump P via valves V 0 to V 5 each composed of a three-way solenoid valve, and further, for holding pressure between the air bag 20 and the valve V 0. The valve V 6 is connected, and the pump P, the valves V 0 to V 6 and the actuator 5 are placed under the control of the control unit C. Further, a controller H for operation input and a position sensor S for detecting a rotation position by the actuator 5 of the leg massage machine 2 are connected to the control unit C.

そして上記制御部Ｃは、コントローラＨからアキレス腱のストレッチ動作の指示が与えられた時、ふくらはぎ部のマッサージのための空気袋２１〜２３のうち、人体の足首に最も近い位置にある空気袋２３を膨張させることで人体の足首をまず固定し、その後、ストレッチ用の空気袋２５を膨張させて足先部を裏面側から押し上げる。踵が浮き上がったりすることなく足先が押し上げられるために、確実にアキレス腱のストレッチ動作を得ることができるものである。   When the controller H is instructed by the controller H to stretch the Achilles tendon, the air bag 23 located closest to the ankle of the human body among the air bags 21 to 23 for massaging the calf is selected. The ankle of the human body is first fixed by inflating, and then the air bag 25 for stretching is inflated to push up the toe portion from the back side. Since the tip of the foot is pushed up without lifting the heel, the stretch motion of the Achilles tendon can be surely obtained.

また、図示例では空気袋２１〜２３の外周に空気袋２０を配置して、空気袋２０を膨張させた状態で更に空気袋２１〜２３を膨張させることで、多様なふくらはぎマッサージを行うことができるようにしているのであるが、この空気袋２０は人体の足首に対応する位置にあり且つ空気袋２０も膨張させる方が足首の固定をより強く行うことができるものの、アキレス腱のストレッチ動作時には膨張させていない。これは空気袋２０の容量が大きく、膨張させるのに要する時間が長いことから、容量の小さい空気袋２３のみを膨張させることで足首の固定を迅速に行うためである。   Moreover, in the example of illustration, the air bag 20 is arrange | positioned on the outer periphery of the air bags 21-23, and various calf massage can be performed by inflating the air bags 21-23 further in the state which the air bag 20 was expanded. Although the air bag 20 is located at a position corresponding to the ankle of the human body and the air bag 20 is also inflated, the ankle can be fixed more strongly, but the air bag 20 is inflated when the Achilles tendon is stretched. I have not let it. This is because the capacity of the air bag 20 is large and it takes a long time to inflate, so that the ankle can be quickly fixed by inflating only the air bag 23 having a small capacity.

また繰り返してストレッチ動作を行う場合、空気袋２０も膨張させていると、排気収縮させるのにかかる時間が長くなるために、図６にイで示すように、繰り返しのサイクルＴを長くしないことには繰り返すたびに圧力が高くなってしまう。なお、図６中のロはサイクルＴを時間αだけ長くして排気収縮の時間を確保した場合の圧力変化を示している。サイクルＴを短く且つ適切な圧力下で足首の固定を行うためには、空気袋２３のみを膨張させて足首の固定を行うことが好ましいわけである。   In addition, when the stretch operation is repeatedly performed, if the air bag 20 is also inflated, the time required for exhausting and contracting becomes long. Therefore, as shown by a in FIG. The pressure increases with each repetition. 6 indicates the pressure change when the cycle T is lengthened by the time α to secure the exhaust contraction time. In order to fix the ankle under a short cycle T and under an appropriate pressure, it is preferable to fix the ankle by inflating only the air bag 23.

また、空気袋２３を膨張させて足首を固定した後、空気袋２５に空気を供給することでストレッチを行うにあたり、コスト等の関係で空気袋２３には保圧用のバルブを設けていないことから、空気袋２５に空気の供給を開始した時、空気袋２３から空気が抜けて足首の固定力が弱まってしまう。このために制御部Ｃは図４に示すように、空気袋２５を膨張させる際のポンプＰの流量Ｂをそれまでの流量Ａよりも大（Ｂ＞Ａ）として、空気袋２５への空気供給開始時の空気袋２３の圧力低下を小さく抑えている。なお、空気袋２３を膨張させる時点から通常時よりも流量を大としていてもよい。   In addition, since the air bag 23 is inflated to fix the ankle and then stretched by supplying air to the air bag 25, the air bag 23 is not provided with a pressure holding valve due to cost or the like. When the supply of air to the air bag 25 is started, air escapes from the air bag 23 and the ankle fixing force is weakened. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 4, the control unit C sets the flow rate B of the pump P when inflating the air bladder 25 to be larger than the previous flow rate A (B> A) and supplies air to the air bladder 25. The pressure drop of the air bag 23 at the start is kept small. It should be noted that the flow rate may be increased from the normal time from the time when the air bag 23 is inflated.

更に上記制御部Ｃは、アキレス腱のストレッチ動作の指示があった時、空気袋２３の膨張による足首の固定に先立って、アクチュエータ５を駆動することで、脚用マッサージ機を所要の角度だけ上方に回動させる動作を行わせている。これは軸２９の位置と膝関節の位置の関係で、脚用マッサージ機２を上方に回動させれば、図５に示すように膝が椅子１から浮いて人体の脚の自重で踵が脚用マッサージ機２の足先保持部に確実に接する状態となるからであり、この後、足首の固定及び足裏の持ち上げ動作を行うために、アキレス腱のストレッチ動作が更に確実になされるものとなっている。   Further, the control unit C, when instructed to stretch the Achilles tendon, drives the actuator 5 prior to fixing the ankle by inflating the air bag 23, thereby moving the leg massage machine upward by a required angle. A rotating operation is performed. This is the relationship between the position of the shaft 29 and the position of the knee joint. If the leg massage machine 2 is rotated upward, the knee is lifted off the chair 1 as shown in FIG. It is because it will be in the state which touches the foot tip holding part of the leg massage machine 2 surely, and then, in order to perform the ankle fixing and the sole lifting operation, the Achilles tendon stretch operation will be more reliably performed. It has become.

上記回動動作は前述の位置センサＳの出力に基づき、一定角度だけ上方に回動するようにしているが、回動範囲の上限に達してしまう場合はその角度までとしている。   The turning operation is made to turn upward by a certain angle based on the output of the position sensor S described above, but when the upper limit of the turning range is reached, the angle is set to that angle.
