従来より、着座して施療子による施療を被施療者の背部に対して行う椅子式の施療機は良く知られており、該施療機は、例えば背凭れ部に昇降可能にして取り付けられた背部施療機構に備える施療子が、機械的に多様な動作を行う事ができるよう構成して、叩きや揉み、またはさすりやローリングなど、様々な施療を行う事ができるようになっているもの等がある。 Conventionally, a chair-type treatment machine that sits and performs treatment with a treatment element on the back of a user is well known, and the treatment machine is, for example, a back part that is attached to a backrest part so that it can be raised and lowered. The treatment element provided in the treatment mechanism is configured so that it can perform a variety of mechanical operations, and can perform various treatments such as hitting, rubbing, rubbing and rolling, etc. is there.

例えば、図6に示すマッサージ機(施療機)1は、使用者の身体を支持するための身体支持部としての椅子2の背もたれ3に沿ってマッサージユニット(背部施療機構)4を昇降可能に配設しており、同マッサージユニット4の内部には、左右一対のもみ玉(施療子)5、6を前後方向に揺動させることによってたたき作動を行わせるためのタタキ機構と、もみ玉5、6を偏心回動させることによってもみ作動を行わせるためのモミ機構とからなるもみ玉を駆動させるためのもみ玉駆動ユニット(施療子駆動部)を椅子2の背もたれ3に向けて進退移動可能に配設している。 For example, a massage machine (treatment device) 1 shown in FIG. 6 is arranged so that a massage unit (back treatment mechanism) 4 can be moved up and down along a backrest 3 of a chair 2 as a body support portion for supporting a user's body. In the massage unit 4, a pair of left and right kneading balls (treatment elements) 5 and 6 are swung in the front-rear direction and a tapping mechanism for performing a striking operation; A rice ball drive unit (treatment device drive unit) for driving a rice ball comprising a fir mechanism for performing a rice kneading operation by rotating 6 eccentrically can be moved forward and backward toward the backrest 3 of the chair 2. It is arranged.

前記椅子2は、背もたれ3の背部に左右一対のラック10、11を背もたれ3に沿って取付けるとともに、同ラック10、11に沿わせて断面コ字状の左右一対のガイドレール12、13を取付けており、該ガイドレール12、13に沿ってマッサージユニット4は昇降するようにしている。 The chair 2 has a pair of left and right racks 10 and 11 attached to the back of the backrest 3 along the backrest 3 and a pair of left and right guide rails 12 and 13 having a U-shaped cross section along the racks 10 and 11.

JP 2002-159549 A (Page 9, FIG. 1)

ところで、前記のような背凭れ部において昇降可能な施療子を備える背部施療機構を設けた施療機は、上は被施療者の肩から下は腰部に至るまで、施療範囲が広範であるが、施療子が被施療者の身体に施療作用を与えるよう、背凭れ部の表面側には背凭れ部の長さ方向に長く形成した中央溝部を設けているため、背部施療機構が背凭れ部の上方に位置する時、背凭れ部の下部は有形体である人体の一部や固形物等が入り込み易い状態となり、例えば被施療者が背部施療機構の動作中に正しい姿勢を取らなかった場合は、身体の一部が背凭れ部の下部の該中央溝部に填り込んでしまって、下降する背部施療機構に挟まれてしまうという予期せぬ危険性が生じていたため、このような危険性を回避するために、左右一対の施療子の間に、落ち込み防止ベルトを中央溝部の上下端に吊架させたり、中央溝部を布地などで覆ったりする方法を取っていた。 By the way, the treatment machine provided with the back treatment mechanism including the treatment element capable of moving up and down in the backrest portion as described above has a wide treatment range from the shoulder of the user to the lower back of the user, A central groove formed in the length direction of the backrest is provided on the surface side of the backrest so that the treatment element gives treatment to the body of the user. When positioned at the top, the lower part of the backrest is in a state where it is easy for a part of the human body or solid matter to enter, such as when the user does not take the correct posture during the operation of the back treatment mechanism Because there was an unexpected risk that a part of the body got stuck in the central groove at the lower part of the backrest part and was caught in the descending back treatment mechanism, such a risk occurred. In order to avoid this, the depression between the pair of left and right treatment elements Or to tell a locking belt in the upper and lower ends of the central groove, it had taken the way to or covering the central groove fabric or the like.

しかし、最近では前述したように、施療子に施療動作を与える施療子駆動部全体を背部施療機構から進退移動可能に構成して、従来よりもさらに施療子が被施療者の身体側に突出させる事が可能となっており、このため、施療感の強弱幅が大きくなった反面、大きく突出した施療子によって、背部施療機構の下降時に人体の一部を上から挟んでしまうといった新たな問題が生じていた。特に体格の小さな幼児ほど挟まれ易く、また誤動作による障害を生じさせる恐れや不安があり、落ち込み防止ベルトや中央溝部を覆う布地だけではもはや対応できなくなっていた。 However, recently, as described above, the entire treatment element driving unit that applies treatment operation to the treatment element is configured to be movable back and forth from the back treatment mechanism so that the treatment element protrudes further to the body side of the user than before. For this reason, the range of treatment feeling has increased, but on the other hand, there is a new problem that a part of the human body is caught from the top when the back treatment mechanism descends due to the treatment element that protrudes greatly It was happening. In particular, infants with smaller physiques are more likely to be pinched, and there is a risk of anxiety due to malfunctions, which makes it impossible to handle with a cloth that covers the fall-prevention belt and the central groove.

更に、前記したような座部にセンサーを設けて該座部に着座しているかどうか判別可能にしたとしても、挟み込みの危険を回避するのに必要な判別、すなわち被施療者が正しい姿勢で着座しているかどうか、または大人か幼児かどうかまでは判別できず、この点で依然として課題が残されていた。 Furthermore, even if a sensor is provided on the seat as described above so that it can be determined whether or not it is seated on the seat, the determination necessary for avoiding the danger of pinching, that is, the user is seated in the correct posture. It was not possible to determine whether or not it was an adult or an infant, and there was still a problem in this respect.

そこで、本発明は、上記問題点を解消する為に成されたものであり、背凭れ部の下部において下降する背部施療機構により不用心にも人体の一部を挟み込む障害を回避し、また幼児による誤動作を防止する事が可能な施療機を提供する事を目的とするものである。 Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and avoids the obstacle of unintentionally pinching a part of the human body by the back treatment mechanism that descends at the lower part of the backrest part, and by the infant. It aims at providing the treatment machine which can prevent a malfunctioning.

すなわち、本発明の施療機は、座部と背凭れ部と足載せ部とからなり、背凭れ部において施療子を備えた昇降自在の背部施療機構と、前記施療機構を制御する制御手段により、被施療者の身体に施療作用を与えるようにした施療機であり、前記足載せ部に、被施療者の足先を施療するための凹部を形成する足先施療部を幅方向左右に夫々設け、人体の存在を検出する事が可能なセンサからなる人体検出手段を前記足載せ部の前記左右凹部の各底部に夫々設け、前記制御手段は、前記人体検出手段によって前記左右凹部のどちらか一方にのみ被施療者の片側の足先が納まっていることを検出した場合は前記背部施療機構による動作を受け付けないようにし、前記左右凹部に被施療者の両足先が揃い、左右の前記人体検出手段が人体の検出を同時に行う場合にのみ前記背部施療機構による動作を受け付けるように制御する事を特徴としている。
That is, the treatment machine of the present invention comprises a seat portion, a backrest portion, and a footrest portion, and a back treatment mechanism that can move up and down with a treatment element in the backrest portion, and a control means that controls the treatment mechanism , The treatment machine is designed to give a treatment effect to the body of the user, and the footrest portion is provided with a foot treatment portion that forms a recess for treating the foot tip of the user on the left and right sides, respectively. , Human body detection means comprising sensors capable of detecting the presence of a human body is provided at each bottom of the left and right recesses of the footrest , and the control means is either one of the left or right recesses by the human body detection means. When it is detected that the foot of one side of the user is contained only in the body, the operation of the back treatment mechanism is not accepted, and both the feet of the user are aligned in the left and right recesses, and the left and right human bodies are detected. Simultaneous detection of human body It is characterized in that the control to accept operation by the back treatment mechanism only when performed.

更に、本発明の施療機は、前記制御手段が、前記背部施療機構による施療動作中に、前記人体検出手段が人体の検出を行わなくなると、前記背部施療機構による動作を停止するか、または前記背部施療機構を上昇させる事を特徴とするものである。 Furthermore, in the treatment device of the present invention, when the human body detection unit stops detecting the human body during the treatment operation by the back treatment mechanism, the control unit stops the operation by the back treatment mechanism, or It is characterized by raising the back treatment mechanism.

更にまた、本発明の施療機は、背部施療機構は施療プログラムに基づいて施療するものであり、前記人体検出手段により、動作中の背部施療機構の該動作を停止した後、一定の時間内に前記人体検出手段が人体を検出する場合は、施療プログラムにおける停止直前の施療動作を再開し、前記一定の時間内に前記人体検出手段が人体を検出しない場合は、停止した状態を保つようにし、または、前記一定の時間後に前記人体検出手段が人体を検出する場合は、施療プログラムの初回施療動作を実行するか、或いは該初回施療動作の実行及び停止直前の施療動作の再開のどちらかを選択し、前記一定の時間後に前記人体検出手段が人体を検出しない場合は、電源をOFFにする事を特徴とするものである。 Furthermore, in the treatment machine of the present invention, the back treatment mechanism is treated based on a treatment program, and after the operation of the back treatment mechanism in operation is stopped by the human body detection means, within a certain time. When the human body detecting means detects a human body, the treatment operation immediately before stopping in the treatment program is resumed, and when the human body detecting means does not detect a human body within the certain time, the stopped state is maintained, Or, when the human body detecting means detects the human body after the predetermined time, select either the first treatment operation of the treatment program or the execution of the first treatment operation and the resumption of the treatment operation immediately before the stop. When the human body detecting means does not detect a human body after the predetermined time, the power is turned off.

よって、本発明の施療機は、座部と背凭れ部と足載せ部とからなり、背凭れ部において施療子を備えた昇降自在の背部施療機構により、被施療者の身体に施療作用を与えるようにした施療機であり、前記足載せ部の被施療者の足先付近に、人体か否かを検出する事が可能なセンサからなる人体検出手段を設けて構成しているため、人体検出手段に被施療者の足先が当接している場合、被施療者の姿勢は前方へ向いて正しい姿勢で前記施療機に着座していると見なして、施療を継続する事ができ、逆に被施療者の足先が人体検出手段から浮いて該人体検出手段による人体検出を行わない場合は、被施療者の姿勢は適正でなく、背凭れ部の中央に形成する中央溝部における背部施療機構による身体の挟み込みの危険があるものと見なして、背部施療機構の動作を停止させたり、電源をOFFにしたりする事により、事前に身体挟み込みの危険を回避する事ができる。 Therefore, the treatment machine of the present invention comprises a seat portion, a backrest portion, and a footrest portion, and gives a treatment action to the body of the user by a freely movable back and back treatment mechanism having a treatment element in the backrest portion. Since the human body detecting means is configured to include a human body detecting means including a sensor capable of detecting whether or not the human body is in the vicinity of the toe of the user of the footrest portion, the human body detection is performed. If the user's feet are in contact with the means, the user's posture can be considered to be facing forward and sitting in the corrector, and treatment can be continued. When the toe of the user floats off the human body detection means and the human body detection means does not detect the human body, the posture of the user is not appropriate and the back treatment mechanism in the central groove formed at the center of the backrest part Considering that there is a risk of pinching by the body, Or stops the operation of the mechanism, by which or the power to OFF, it is possible to avoid the risk of pinching body in advance.

また、前記施療機の前記座部に乗った幼児などが誤って前記施療機の操作部であるリモコンを操作してしまい、思わぬ障害を招かないように事前に防止する事も可能である。すなわち、幼児は体格が小さいため、前記足載せ部に設けた前記人体検出手段にまで身体が届かないので、背部施療機構の動作は行われず、幼児による誤動作を回避したり、幼児の頭部などの前記背凭れ部の前記中央溝部における挟み込みを確実に防止する事ができる。   It is also possible to prevent in advance that an infant or the like riding on the seat of the treatment device accidentally operates a remote control that is an operation unit of the treatment device and does not cause an unexpected failure. That is, since the infant has a small physique, the body does not reach the human body detecting means provided on the footrest, so that the back treatment mechanism is not operated, and the infant's head is avoided. It is possible to reliably prevent the backrest portion from being caught in the central groove portion.

また、本発明の施療機は、前記足載せ部に、人体足先を施療するための凹部を幅方向左右に夫々設けた足先施療部を設け、凹部底部に前記人体検出手段を設けた事を特徴とするものであるため、凹部内の定位置に被施療者は足先を納めて確実に前記人体検出手段による検出を行う事ができる。 In the treatment machine of the present invention, the footrest portion is provided with a foot tip treatment portion provided with recesses for treating a human foot tip on the left and right sides in the width direction, and the human body detection means is provided on the bottom portion of the recess. Therefore, the user can place the foot tip at a fixed position in the recess and reliably perform detection by the human body detecting means.

更に、本発明の施療機は、前記人体検出手段の人体の検出状態において背部施療機構による動作を可能とし、人体の非検出状態において背部施療機構による動作を停止するか、または背部施療機構を上昇させる事を特徴とするものであるため、人体検出手段により常時被施療者の足先の状態を監視して、人体検出手段から被施療者の足先が離れると人体検出手段は直ちに反応する事ができる。 Furthermore, the treatment device of the present invention enables the operation by the back treatment mechanism in the human body detection state of the human body detection means, and stops the operation by the back treatment mechanism in the non-detection state of the human body or raises the back treatment mechanism. Since the human body detecting means constantly monitors the state of the toes of the user, the human body detecting means reacts immediately when the toes of the user are separated from the human body detecting means. Can do.

更にまた、本発明の施療機は、背部施療機構は施療プログラムに基づいて施療するものであり、前記人体検出手段により、動作中の背部施療機構の該動作を停止した後、一定の時間内に前記人体検出手段が人体を検出する場合は、施療プログラムにおける停止直前の施療動作を再開し、前記一定の時間内に前記人体検出手段が人体を検出しない場合は、停止した状態を保つようにし、または、前記一定の時間後に前記人体検出手段が人体を検出する場合は、施療プログラムの初回施療動作を実行するか、或いは該初回施療動作の実行及び停止直前の施療動作の再開のどちらかを選択し、前記一定の時間後に前記人体検出手段が人体を検出しない場合は、電源をOFFにする事を特徴とするものであるため、例えば、施療中の被施療者が一定時間内において、何らかの理由で施療機から離れ、該施療機に思わず幼児が近づいて前記座部に乗り上がるといった事態が生じても、被施療者が前記人体検出手段から離れた時点で、前記背部施療機構の動作は停止しており、幼児は前記足載せ部の人体検出手段には届かないので、背部施療機構の動作を再開しないようにする事ができる。 Furthermore, in the treatment machine of the present invention, the back treatment mechanism is treated based on a treatment program, and after the operation of the back treatment mechanism in operation is stopped by the human body detection means, within a certain time. When the human body detecting means detects a human body, the treatment operation immediately before stopping in the treatment program is resumed, and when the human body detecting means does not detect a human body within the certain time, the stopped state is maintained, Or, when the human body detecting means detects the human body after the predetermined time, select either the first treatment operation of the treatment program or the execution of the first treatment operation and the resumption of the treatment operation immediately before the stop. When the human body detecting means does not detect a human body after the predetermined time, the power is turned off. The back treatment is performed when the user leaves the human body detection means even if a situation occurs in which the infant moves away from the treatment device for some reason and the infant approaches the seat. Since the operation of the mechanism is stopped and the infant does not reach the human body detecting means of the footrest portion, the operation of the back treatment mechanism can be prevented from being resumed.

しかも一定時間内であれば、前記施療機から被施療者が離れていたとしても、再び着座して前記人体検出手段により検出されて、前記背部施療機構の停止直前の動作を直ちに再開する事ができて便利である。また、施療中の被施療者が離れていた前記一定時間後は、施療効果も薄れているので、施療プログラムの初回施療動作に戻って初めからやり直す事ができるよう選択する事ができる。   Moreover, within a certain period of time, even if the user is away from the treatment device, the user can sit down again and be detected by the human body detection means, and immediately resume the operation immediately before the back treatment mechanism is stopped. It is possible and convenient. Further, since the treatment effect is weakened after the predetermined time when the user being treated is away, it is possible to select so that the initial treatment operation of the treatment program can be resumed and restarted from the beginning.

また、前記一定時間後も前記人体検出手段のセンサが依然としてOFFのままであれば、施療機の電源はOFFとなって施療機の全動作は不可能となり、幼児がリモコンを触っても施療機は全く動作しない状態となり、幼児による誤動作を確実に防ぐ事ができる。 Further, if the sensor of the human body detecting means remains OFF even after the predetermined time, the power of the treatment device is turned off, and the entire operation of the treatment device becomes impossible, and even if an infant touches the remote control, the treatment device Is in a state of not operating at all, and it is possible to reliably prevent malfunctions caused by infants.

また、本発明の施療機1aの前記背部施療機構3aに設けた前記施療子駆動部31aは、前記背凭れ部11の表側(使用者と接する側)に向けて進退移動可能に構成されている。すなわち、該背部施療機構3aは、前記外部ケーシング32aの下部に左右幅方向に向けて伸延させた状態で配設した前記昇降軸35aの中央部に、該施療子駆動部31aのケーシングを構成する内部ケーシング312aを前後方向に向けて揺動自在に取付けており、該昇降軸35aを揺動支点として該施療子駆動部31aが前後方向に向けて揺動できるようにしている。 Further, the treatment element driving portion 31a provided in the back portion treatment mechanism 3a of the treatment device 1a of the present invention is configured to be capable of moving forward and backward toward the front side (side contacting the user) of the backrest portion 11. . That is, the back portion treatment mechanism 3a constitutes the casing of the treatment element drive portion 31a at the central portion of the elevating shaft 35a disposed in a state of being extended in the left-right width direction at the lower portion of the outer casing 32a. The inner casing 312a is swingably attached in the front-rear direction, and the treatment element drive unit 31a can be swung in the front-rear direction using the lifting shaft 35a as a swing fulcrum.

The forward / backward gear box portion 361a is engaged with a forward / backward shaft 37a extending in the left-right width direction rotatably disposed on the upper portion of the outer casing 32a. ing. Further, a pair of left and right advancing / retreating pinion gears 371a is attached to the middle part of the advancing / retreating shaft 37a, and an arcuate rack 313a is mounted on the upper part of the pair of left and right inner casings 312a that respectively mesh with the pair of left and right advancing / retreating pinion gears 371a. ing.

これらの構成により、前記進退用モータ36aの回転が、前記進退用ギアボックス部361a、進退軸37a、左右一対の各進退用ピニオンギヤ371aに伝達するとともに、左右一対の各該進退用ピニオンギヤ371aは噛合している前記円弧状ラック313aを移動させるので、前記施療子駆動部31aは、前記昇降軸35aを揺動支点として前後方向に向けて揺動し、施療子311aが前後方向へ進退することになる。 With these configurations, the rotation of the advancing / retreating motor 36a is transmitted to the advancing / retreating gear box portion 361a, the advancing / retracting shaft 37a, and the pair of left and right advancing / retreating pinion gears 371a, and the pair of left and right advancing / retreating pinion gears 371a are meshed. Since the circular arc-shaped rack 313a is moved, the treatment element drive unit 31a swings in the front-rear direction with the lifting shaft 35a as a swing fulcrum, and the treatment element 311a advances and retreats in the front-rear direction. Become.

尚、前記進退軸37aには、前記進退用モータ36aによって該進退軸37aが駆動(回動)された量を検出するためのロータリーエンコーダからなる進退用駆動量検出手段372aを配設しており、該進退用駆動量検出手段372aは、前記制御手段に接続している。 The advancing / retreating shaft 37a is provided with advancing / retreating drive amount detecting means 372a comprising a rotary encoder for detecting the amount by which the advancing / retreating shaft 37a is driven (rotated) by the advancing / retreating motor 36a. The forward / backward drive amount detecting means 372a is connected to the control means.

よって、本実施例に係る施療機1aは、前記昇降用モータ33aの駆動量を前記昇降用駆動量検出手段352aから検出しつつ前記制御手段により制御されるとともに、前記進退用モータ36aの駆動量を前記進退用駆動量検出手段372aから検出しつつ同制御手段により制御される。 Therefore, the treatment device 1a according to the present embodiment is controlled by the control means while detecting the drive amount of the lift motor 33a from the lift drive amount detection means 352a and the drive amount of the advance / retreat motor 36a. Is controlled by the control means while detecting from the advancing / retreating drive amount detecting means 372a.

更に、本実施例に係る施療機1aは、前記制御手段によって前記昇降用駆動量検出手段352aと前記進退用駆動量検出手段372aの夫々の駆動量を検出しながら、前記昇降用モータ33aと進退用モータ36aを駆動させることができるので、前記施療子311aの位置をきめ細かく制御することができ、また該昇降用モータ33aと進退用モータ36aの駆動を適宜組み合わせることによって、使用者の体の肩、背中、腰等を多彩なモードで施療することができる。 Further, the treatment device 1a according to the present embodiment moves forward and backward with the lift motor 33a while detecting the respective drive amounts of the lift drive amount detection means 352a and the advance / retreat drive amount detection means 372a by the control means. Since the motor 36a can be driven, the position of the treatment element 311a can be finely controlled, and the shoulder of the user's body can be controlled by appropriately combining the driving of the elevating motor 33a and the advancing / retreating motor 36a. Can treat the back, waist, etc. in various modes.

すなわち、前記制御手段によって昇降用モータ33aを駆動すると、昇降軸35aが回動し、それに伴って左右一対の前記各昇降用ピニオンギヤ351aが左右一対の前記ガイドレール38aに固設する前記ラックに沿って夫々走行し、前記背部施療機構3aが前記背凭れ部11に沿って昇降移動する。その際に、該制御手段は、ロータリーエンコーダからなる前記昇降用駆動量検出手段352aで昇降軸35aの回動量を検出して、該背部施療機構3aの昇降量を検出している。この動作により、ローリング施療が可能となる。 That is, when the raising / lowering motor 33a is driven by the control means, the raising / lowering shaft 35a rotates, and along with this, the pair of left and right raising / lowering pinion gears 351a along the rack fixed to the pair of left and right guide rails 38a. The back treatment mechanism 3 a moves up and down along the backrest 11. At that time, the control means detects the amount of elevation of the back treatment mechanism 3a by detecting the amount of rotation of the elevation shaft 35a by the elevation drive amount detection means 352a comprising a rotary encoder. This operation enables rolling treatment.

また、前記制御手段によって進退用モータ36aを駆動すると、前記進退軸37aが回動し、それに伴って左右一対の前記各進退用ピニオンギヤ371aの回転が前記内部ケーシング312a上部に取り付けている左右一対の前記円弧状ラック313aに伝達することにより、左右一対の該円弧状ラック313aが移動して、前記施療子駆動部31aが前後方向に進退移動するとともに、前記施療子311aが前後方向に進退移動する。その際に、該制御手段は、ロータリーエンコーダからなる前記進退用駆動量検出手段372aで前記進退軸37aの回動量を検出して、該施療子駆動部31aの進退量を検出している。この動作により、指圧施療が可能となる。 Further, when the advance / retreat motor 36a is driven by the control means, the advance / retreat shaft 37a rotates, and accordingly, a pair of left and right pair of advance / retreat pinion gears 371a are attached to the upper part of the inner casing 312a. By transmitting to the arc-shaped rack 313a, the pair of left and right arc-shaped racks 313a move, the treatment element driving portion 31a moves forward and backward, and the treatment element 311a moves forward and backward. . At this time, the control means detects the amount of advancement / retraction of the treatment element drive unit 31a by detecting the amount of rotation of the advance / retreat shaft 37a by the advance / retreat drive amount detection means 372a comprising a rotary encoder. This operation enables acupressure treatment.

上記の基本となる各作動を組み合わせることによって、使用者の体の肩、背中、腰等を、多彩なモードで施療することができ、しかも、前記施療子311aの進退量を簡単な構成で従来よりもより大きくすることができるようにしている。 By combining each of the above basic operations, the user's body shoulder, back, waist, etc. can be treated in various modes, and the amount of advancement / retraction of the treatment element 311a can be easily achieved with a simple configuration. It is possible to make it bigger.

尚、前記背部施療機構3aの前記施療子311aによる前記モードの組み合わせで、一つの施療プログラムを構成する事ができ、所定の時間で組み合わされた各モードを順次実行するようにしてもよい。 It should be noted that one treatment program can be configured by combining the modes by the treatment element 311a of the back treatment mechanism 3a, and the combined modes may be sequentially executed at a predetermined time.

前記背凭れ部12aには、該背凭れ部12aの中央上下方向に長く設けられた中央溝部121aを設けており、該中央溝部121aを貫通して前記左右一対の施療子311aが被施療者の身体に施療作用を与えられるようにしているのであるが、背凭れ部12aの下部において人体の一部や、または危険を予期できない幼児の頭部などが、中央溝部121aに深く填り過ぎてしまい、背凭れ部12a内部で下降する前記背部施療機構3aの一部分、例えば前記施療子311aや前記外部ケーシング32aなどによって挟み込まれるという事態や、また幼児が関係する誤動作による障害を回避するために、本発明の前記施療機1aは、前記足載せ部13aに人体検出手段5aを設けている。 The backrest portion 12a is provided with a central groove portion 121a that is long in the center vertical direction of the backrest portion 12a, and the pair of left and right treatment elements 311a pass through the central groove portion 121a to be treated by the user. Although the body can be treated, a part of the human body or the head of an infant whose danger cannot be expected is deeply embedded in the central groove 121a at the lower part of the backrest 12a. In order to avoid a situation where the back treatment mechanism 3a descends inside the backrest portion 12a, for example, the treatment element 311a, the external casing 32a, etc. The treatment machine 1a according to the invention is provided with the human body detecting means 5a on the footrest 13a.

前記人体検出手段5aには、図示しないが人体か否かを検出する事が可能な検出器である種々のセンサを適用できる。例えば、センサの種類として、所定の圧力を検出する圧力センサや所定の熱を検出する熱センサ、所定範囲で人体の検出を行うセンサ類、例えば赤外線センサ、光センサなどがある。他にも前記足載せ部13aに張設したシート部における所定の張力を検出するシート張力センサなどを用いる事ができる。 Although not shown, various sensors which are detectors capable of detecting whether or not a human body can be applied to the human body detecting means 5a. For example, the sensor type includes a pressure sensor that detects a predetermined pressure, a heat sensor that detects predetermined heat, and sensors that detect a human body within a predetermined range, such as an infrared sensor and an optical sensor. In addition, a sheet tension sensor that detects a predetermined tension in the sheet portion stretched on the footrest portion 13a can be used.

また、前記人体検出手段5aから検出された信号に基づき、前記制御手段は前記施療機1aの動作を制御するようにしている。 Further, based on the signal detected from the human body detection means 5a, the control means controls the operation of the treatment device 1a.

前記人体検出手段5aは、前記足載せ部13aの被施療者の足先付近に設けられるようにしている。図1の実施形態では、載せ部13aの足先施療部132aにある左右の凹部133a底部の、被施療者の足裏が当接する部分に設置している。または、左右の凹部133aの両側部に設けてもよい。人体検出手段5aを凹部133aの両側部に設ける場合は、被施療者の足裏が凹部133a底部から少し離れたとしても凹部133a内に納まっている限り、人体検出手段5aによる検出を行う事ができる。 The human body detecting means 5a is provided in the vicinity of the foot of the user of the footrest portion 13a. In the embodiment of FIG. 1, it is installed on the bottom part of the left and right recesses 133 a in the foot treatment part 132 a of the mounting part 13 a at the part where the sole of the user is in contact. Or you may provide in the both sides of the recessed part 133a on either side. When the human body detecting means 5a is provided on both sides of the concave portion 133a, the human body detecting means 5a can detect as long as the sole of the user is within the concave portion 133a even if it is slightly separated from the bottom of the concave portion 133a. it can.

このように、前記人体検出手段5aを前記足載せ部13aの前記凹部133aに設ける事により、正常な姿勢で前記施療機1aに着座している被施療者に対してのみ、前記背部施療機構3aが作動して施療を行うようにし、人体の一部が前記背凭れ部12aの前記中央溝部121aに入り込むような不自然な姿勢を取る場合に、背部施療機構3aの作動を極力行わないようにする事ができる。 Thus, by providing the human body detection means 5a in the recess 133a of the footrest 13a, the back treatment mechanism 3a can be applied only to the user who is seated in the treatment machine 1a in a normal posture. Is operated so that a part of the human body takes an unnatural posture such as entering the central groove part 121a of the backrest part 12a, so that the back part treatment mechanism 3a is not operated as much as possible. I can do it.

すなわち、前記足載せ部13aの前記凹部133aに被施療者の足先が納まり、凹部133aの底部に被施療者の足裏が当接している場合、被施療者の姿勢は前方へ向いて正しい姿勢で前記施療機1aに着座していると考えられる(前記人体検出手段5aによる人体の検出状態)。逆に被施療者の足裏が凹部133aの底部から浮いて前記人体検出手段5aが人体の検出を行わない場合は、被施療者の姿勢は適正でなく、前記中央溝部121aにおける挟み込みの危険があるものとしている(前記人体検出手段5aによる人体の非検出状態)。 That is, when the foot of the user is stored in the recess 133a of the footrest portion 13a and the sole of the user is in contact with the bottom of the recess 133a, the posture of the user is correct toward the front. It is considered that the user is seated on the treatment device 1a in a posture (a human body detection state by the human body detection means 5a). Conversely, when the sole of the user is lifted from the bottom of the recess 133a and the human body detecting means 5a does not detect the human body, the posture of the user is not appropriate and there is a risk of being caught in the central groove 121a. It is assumed that there is no human body detected by the human body detecting means 5a.

それで、前記人体検出手段5aにより凹部133a内において人体の存在を検出した場合にのみ被施療者の姿勢は適正であると見なし、人体検出手段5aの検出信号が前記制御手段に送信されて前記背部施療機構3aによる動作を制御手段は受け付けるようにする。 Therefore, only when the presence of the human body is detected in the recess 133a by the human body detection means 5a, the posture of the user is regarded as appropriate, and the detection signal of the human body detection means 5a is transmitted to the control means to The control means accepts the operation by the treatment mechanism 3a.

よって、前記施療機1aに着座して前記背部施療機構3aによる施療を行っていた被施療者の足先が、前記凹部133aから離れる場合は、前記人体検出手段5aは人体の検出を行わなくなり、前記制御手段は背部施療機構3aの動作を停止する事になる。 Therefore, when the toe of the user who is sitting on the treatment machine 1a and performing treatment by the back treatment mechanism 3a moves away from the recess 133a, the human body detection means 5a does not detect the human body, The control means stops the operation of the back treatment mechanism 3a.

または、被施療者の足先が、前記凹部133aから離れると共に、前記背部施療機構3aを一定距離上昇するよう前記制御手段により制御してもよい。 Alternatively, the toe of the user may be controlled by the control means so as to move away from the concave portion 133a and to raise the back treatment mechanism 3a by a certain distance.

前記人体検出手段5aは、他にも前記足載せ部13aの前記左右凹部133aの各底部に夫々設ける事により、被施療者に対して一層適正な姿勢を取るよう促す事ができる。 In addition, the human body detecting means 5a can be urged to take a more appropriate posture for the user by providing the human body detecting means 5a at the bottoms of the left and right recesses 133a of the footrest 13a.

すなわち、前記足載せ部13aの前記左右凹部133aの各底部のどちらか一方にのみ、被施療者の片側の足先が納まっている場合は、その片側の前記人体検出手段5aは人体を検出するのであるが、他側の人体検出手段5aは検出しないので、被施療者は適正な姿勢で前記施療機1aに着座しているとは見なされず、前記制御手段は前記背部施療機構3aによる動作を受け付けないようにしている。左右凹部133aに被施療者の両足先が揃い、左右の人体検出手段5aが人体の検出を同時に行う場合にのみ、制御手段は前記背部施療機構3aによる動作を受け付けるようにする。 That is, when the foot of one side of the user is contained only in one of the bottoms of the left and right recesses 133a of the footrest 13a, the human body detecting means 5a on the one side detects the human body. However, since the human body detecting means 5a on the other side is not detected, the user is not considered to be seated on the treatment machine 1a in an appropriate posture, and the control means operates by the back treatment mechanism 3a. It is not accepted. The control means accepts the operation by the back treatment mechanism 3a only when the left and right recesses 133a are aligned with both feet of the user and the left and right human body detection means 5a simultaneously detect the human body.

更に上記構成により、前記施療機1aの前記座部11aに乗った幼児などが誤って前記施療機1aの操作部であるリモコン(図示せず)を操作してしまい、思わぬ障害を招かないように事前に防止する事も可能である。すなわち、幼児は体格が小さいため、前記人体検出手段5aのある前記足載せ部13aの前記凹部133aにまで身体が届かないので、背部施療機構3aによる動作は行われず、幼児の頭部などが、前記背凭れ部12aの前記中央溝部121aへ落ち込むような危険な状況であっても背部施療機構3aやその前記施療子311aによる挟み込みを確実に防止する事ができる。 Further, with the above configuration, an infant or the like riding on the seat portion 11a of the treatment device 1a may accidentally operate a remote control (not shown) that is an operation portion of the treatment device 1a, thereby preventing unexpected troubles. It is also possible to prevent it in advance. That is, since the infant has a small physique, the body does not reach the concave portion 133a of the footrest portion 13a with the human body detecting means 5a, so the back treatment mechanism 3a is not operated, and the head of the infant is Even in a dangerous situation where the backrest 12a falls into the central groove 121a, it is possible to reliably prevent the back treatment mechanism 3a and the treatment element 311a from being caught.

図5は、本発明の施療機1aにおける施療前及び施療中の動作過程を示すものである。施療機1aの施療前は、前記人体検出手段5aのセンサがON(人体の検出状態)であれば、施療機1aの電源が入って施療をスタートさせる事ができるが、該センサがOFF(人体の非検出状態)であれば、施療機1aの電源は入らず、施療機1aのリモコン(図示せず)は操作不能の状態である。 FIG. 5 shows an operation process before and during treatment in the treatment machine 1a of the present invention. Before the treatment of the treatment machine 1a, if the sensor of the human body detection means 5a is ON (detection state of the human body), the treatment machine 1a can be turned on to start treatment, but the sensor is OFF (human body) In the non-detection state), the power of the treatment device 1a is not turned on, and the remote control (not shown) of the treatment device 1a is inoperable.
