(Example of operation of control unit 600)
6 and 7 are flowcharts showing an example of the operation of the control unit 600 in the massage machine 100 with a training function.

First, the person to be treated sits on a massage machine equipped with a massage machine 100 with a training function, and the operation unit 800 selects a training course.
Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 600 detects the training course selected by the operation unit 800 (step S1). The control unit 600 reads out the relational expression corresponding to the selected training course from the recording unit 610.

Next, the person to be treated starts training by pressing the start button of the operation unit 800. The control unit 600 determines whether there is a start instruction from the operation unit 800 (step S2). When there is no start instruction (No in step S2), the control unit 600 repeats the process of step S2 and waits.

On the other hand, when there is a start instruction (Yes in step S2), the control unit 600 rotates the end portion of the leg mounting portion 900 to the lowermost portion (step S3). Here, the control unit 600 operates the leg-mounting portion rotation actuator 990 to rotate the leg-mounting portion 900 in the direction of the arrow FDOWN (see FIG. 10 described later).

Next, the control unit 600 turns on the air pump 910 (step S4) and sends the gas to the solenoid valve. Next, the control unit 600 opens the solenoid valves 911 and 912 (step S5).

As a result, the instep airbag 931 of the right foot, the instep airbag 932 of the left foot, the airbag 933 for the other side of the right foot, and the airbag 934 for the other side of the left foot are inflated.

Subsequently, the control unit 600 is a pressure value from a pressure sensor 950 (pressure sensor 951 for the instep of the right foot, pressure sensor 952 for the instep of the left foot 2, pressure sensor 953 for the shin facing the right foot, and pressure sensor 954 for the shin facing the left foot). (Step S6), and determines whether or not the pressure value from the pressure sensor 950 is equal to or higher than a predetermined pressure (step S7).

When it is determined that the pressure value is less than a predetermined pressure (No in step S7), the control unit 600 repeats the processes of steps S5, S6, and S7.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the pressure value is equal to or higher than the predetermined pressure (Yes in step S7), the control unit 600 turns off the air pump 910 (step S8) and closes the solenoid valves 911 and 912 (step S9).

Then, the control unit 600 displays "Start training" on the display unit of the operation unit 800. Please raise your legs. ] Is displayed (step S10).

The patient confirms the display unit of the operation unit 800 and moves his / her foot in the direction of the arrow FUP (see FIG. 8 described later).

The pressure of one or more of the 933 and the airbag 934 for the other side of the left foot increases.

Specifically, the patient's foot is in contact with the airbag 931 for the instep of the right foot, the airbag 932 for the instep of the left foot, the airbag 933 for the other side of the right foot, and the airbag 934 for the other side of the left foot. Therefore, when the patient tries to move the foot in the direction of the arrow FUP, the airbag for the instep of the right foot 931, the airbag for the instep of the left foot 932, the airbag for the shin on the other side of the right foot 933, and the shin on the other side of the left foot. The internal pressure of any one or more of the airbags 934 is increased.

In the process of step S11 of FIG. 6, the control unit 600 increases the pressure of the right foot instep airbag 931, the left foot instep airbag 932, the right foot instep shin airbag 933, and the left foot instep shin airbag 934. By receiving signals from the pressure sensor 951 for the instep of the right foot, the pressure sensor 952 for the instep of the left foot, the pressure sensor 953 for the other side of the right foot, and the pressure sensor 954 for the other side of the left foot, and calculating their average values, the pressure is calculated. Detect changes.

Next, as shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 600 controls the rotation movement speed of the leg mount portion by the leg mount portion rotation actuator 990 based on the airbag pressure increase value.

Specifically, the control unit 600 records the relational expression of FIG. 9 in the recording unit 610. The control unit 600 controls based on the relational expression recorded in the recording unit 610.

In the specific example of FIG. 9, a plurality of relational expressions of A course with high training intensity (relationship A), B course with normal training intensity (relationship B), and C course with low training intensity (relationship C) are recorded. It is recorded in 610.

When the person to be treated presses the operation unit 800 and the A course is selected (relationship A in FIG. 9), when the airbag pressure increase value is 50 kPa, the control unit 600 has the leg rest portion 900 for one second. It is controlled to rotate 10 degrees. Further, when the airbag pressure increase value is 80 kPa, the leg mounting portion 900 is controlled to rotate 20 degrees per second.

Further, when the person to be treated presses the operation unit 800 and the B course is selected (relationship B in FIG. 9), when the airbag pressure increase value is 50 kPa, the control unit 600 has the leg rest portion 900. It is controlled to rotate 20 degrees per second. Further, when the airbag pressure increase value is 80 kPa, the control unit 600 controls the leg mounting unit 900 to rotate 40 degrees per second.

Further, when the person to be treated presses the operation unit 800 and the C course is selected (relationship C in FIG. 9), when the airbag pressure increase value is 20 kPa, the control unit 600 has the leg rest portion 900. It is controlled to rotate 20 degrees per second. Further, when the airbag pressure increase value is 30 kPa, the control unit 600 controls the leg mounting unit 900 to rotate 40 degrees per second.

In this way, the trainee can select the training intensity from a plurality of relational expressions, and the control unit 600 applies a load to the trainee according to the selected training intensity. As a result, the treated person can select the load of the leg-mounted portion rotating actuator 990 of the leg-mounted portion 900 according to the training intensity, so that the quadriceps femoris muscle or the ham can be selected according to the preference of the treated person. You can train the lower body muscles such as strings.

Subsequently, returning to FIG. 6, the control unit 600 determines whether or not the leg mounting unit 900 has rotated to the uppermost portion (step S13). When it is determined that the leg mounting portion 900 has not rotated to the uppermost portion (No in step S13), the control unit 600 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed without pressure fluctuation (step S14). ). When it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (No in step S14), the control unit 600 repeats the processes from steps S11 to S14.

The predetermined time may be any hour, minute, or second, and is preferably in the range of 3 seconds to 3 minutes.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the leg mounting portion 900 has rotated to the uppermost portion (Yes in step S13) or when it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed (Yes in step S14), the control unit 600 sets the air pump 910. Turns on (step S15) and sends gas to the solenoid valve 913. Next, the control unit 600 releases the valve of the solenoid valve 913 (step S16).

As a result, the right foot calf airbag 935 and the left foot calf airbag 936 expand.

Subsequently, the control unit 600 detects the pressure value from the pressure sensor 950 (the pressure sensor 955 for the calf of the right foot and the pressure sensor 956 for the calf of the left foot) (step S17), and the pressure value from the pressure sensor 950 is predetermined. It is determined whether or not the pressure is equal to or higher than the pressure (step S18).

When it is determined that the pressure value is less than a predetermined pressure (No in step S18), the control unit 600 repeats the processes of steps S16, S17, and S18.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the pressure value is equal to or higher than the predetermined pressure (Yes in step S18), the control unit 600 turns off the air pump 910 (step S19) and closes the solenoid valve 913 (step S20).

Subsequently, the control unit 600 displays "Please lower your foot" on the display unit of the operation unit 800 (step S21).

The patient confirms the display unit of the operation unit 800 and moves his / her foot in the direction of the arrow FDOWN (see FIG. 10 described later).

The control unit 600 detects the pressure fluctuation from the pressure sensor (step S22). The control unit 600 controls the rotation of the leg rest rotation actuator 990 according to the pressure fluctuation (step S23).

Specifically, since the treated person's foot is in contact with the right foot calf airbag 935 and the left foot calf airbag 936, the treated person attempts to move the foot in the direction of the arrow FDOWN. As a result, the internal pressure of one or more of the calf airbag 935 for the right foot and the calf airbag 936 for the left foot is increased.

In the process of step S21 of FIG. 7, the control unit 600 signals the pressure increase of the right foot calf airbag 935 and the left foot calf airbag 936 from the right foot calf pressure sensor 955 and the left foot calf pressure sensor 956. Is received, the average value of them is calculated, and the pressure change is detected.

Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the control unit 600 controls the leg-mounting portion rotation movement speed by the leg-mounting portion rotation actuator 990 based on the airbag pressure increase value.

Basically, in FIG. 8, the person to be treated presses the operation unit 800, and the same relational expression as the selected course is used in FIG. The patient may select a relational expression different from the case shown in FIG. 8 by using the operation unit 800.

In this way, the treated person can select the training intensity from a plurality of relational expressions. Further, the control unit 600 controls the leg rest rotation actuator 990 according to the selected training intensity, and applies a load to the person to be treated. As a result, the treated person can select the load by the leg-mounted portion rotating actuator 990 of the leg-mounted portion 900 according to the training intensity, and therefore, the quadriceps femoris muscle or the ham can be selected according to the preference of the treated person. You can train the lower body muscles such as strings.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 600 determines whether or not the leg mounting unit 900 has rotated to the lowermost position (step S24). When it is determined that the leg mounting portion 900 has not rotated to the lowermost portion (No in step S24), the control unit 600 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed without pressure fluctuation (step S25). ).

The predetermined time may be any hour, minute, or second, and is preferably in the range of 3 seconds to 3 minutes.

When it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (No in step S25), the control unit 600 repeats the processes from steps S22 to S25.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the leg rest portion 900 has rotated to the lowermost position (Yes in step S24) or when it is determined that a predetermined time has elapsed (Yes in step S25), the control unit 600 is in step S2. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the process (step S26).

When it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (No in step S26), the control unit 600 returns to the process of step S3 and repeats the processes of steps S3 to S26.

Here, the predetermined time in step S26 is hours, minutes, and seconds, preferably in the range of 1 minute or more and 1 hour or less, and more preferably in the range of 3 minutes or more and 10 minutes or less.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (Yes in step S26), the control unit 600 displays "Thank you for your hard work" on the display unit of the operation unit 800 (step S27), and ends the training function. ..

In step S26, the time is set to a predetermined time, but the time is not limited to this, and the number of repetitions from the process of step S3 to the process of step S24 may be used. For example, specifically, the number of repetitions may be 2, 5, 10, 20, 20, or any number.

Further, in the present embodiment, the display unit of the operation unit 800 is used to give an instruction to the person to be treated, but the present invention is not limited to this. The patient may be instructed by voice, video, etc.

(Other examples)
Next, FIG. 11 is a schematic view showing another example of the relationship between the airbag pressure increase value and the leg mount portion rotational movement speed. The horizontal axis of FIG. 11 indicates the airbag pressure increase value, and the vertical axis indicates the rotational movement speed of the leg rest.

As shown in FIG. 11, the relationship D between the airbag pressure increase value and the rotational movement speed of the leg rest may be used.

In the case of the relational expression of the relation D, as long as the pressure fluctuation does not exceed 50 kPa, the leg rest portion 900 rotates to move the lower end portion to the uppermost portion or the lower end portion to the lowermost portion. Is something that cannot be done.

That is, if the pressure fluctuation exceeds 50 kPa, any force will rotate and move at a constant rotational movement speed (for example, 20 degrees per second), so if a large force is applied, a large load will be applied, and if the force is small, a large load will be applied. It will be a small load. Therefore, it is possible to train with a load according to the preference of the patient.

Note that FIG. 11 describes a case where the predetermined pressure fluctuation is set to exceed 50 kPa, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a plurality of predetermined pressure fluctuations are set to be 20 kPa, 30 kPa, 70 kPa, or arbitrary. A numerical value may be set.

Next, FIG. 12 is a schematic view showing another example of the leg rest 900 described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

As shown in FIG. 12, the leg mounting portion 900a includes a leg mounting portion 900R for the right foot, a leg mounting portion 900L for the left foot, a right leg mounting portion rotating actuator 990R, and a left leg mounting portion rotating actuator 990L.

That is, in the leg mounting portion 900a, the leg mounting portion 900R for the right foot and the leg mounting portion 900L for the left foot can be individually controlled.

As a result, the practitioner can select the training intensity of only the left foot, only the right foot, or the left and right feet. That is, the treated person can select the load of the right leg-mounted portion rotating actuator 990R and the left leg-mounted portion rotating actuator 990L of the leg-mounting portion 900a according to the training intensity, and thus the treated person's preference. Depending on the situation, the quadriceps femoris of the left and right legs or the lower body muscles such as the hamstring can be trained.

As described above, the control unit 600 of the massage machine 100 with a training function is the leg rest rotation actuator 990 according to the pressure of at least one of the pressure sensor 953, 954 for the shin and the pressure sensor 951 and 952 for the instep. The rotation can be controlled in one direction, and the rotation of the leg rest rotation actuator 990 can be controlled in the direction opposite to the one direction according to the pressure of the calf pressure sensors 955 and 956.

In addition, the massage machine 100 with a training function is a control unit when a pressure is applied to any of the pressure sensors 935, 954 for the opposite shin and the pressure sensors 951 and 952 for the instep, or when the so-called patient tries to stretch his / her legs. The 600 can be controlled so that a load is applied when the leg rest rotation actuator 990 is rotated in one direction.

Further, when pressure is applied to the calf pressure sensors 955 and 956, when the so-called patient tries to bend his / her foot, the control unit 600 rotates the leg rest rotation actuator 990 in the direction opposite to one direction. It can be controlled so that a load is applied when the load is applied. Therefore, not only muscle relaxation but also muscle strengthening can be achieved.

As a result, it is possible to solve the lack of exercise of elderly people who mainly use the massage machine 100 with a training function.

Further, the control unit 600 of the massage machine 100 with a training function is a leg rest rotation actuator 990 when at least one of the pressure sensor 953, 954 for the shin and the pressure sensor 951 and 952 for the instep has a large pressure increase change. The rotation speed may be increased, and when the pressure increase change is small, the rotation speed of the leg rest rotation actuator 990 may be decreased.

As a result, a constant load can be applied. That is, it is possible to reproduce a state in which weight training of a predetermined weight is performed.

Further, by setting the relationship D in FIG. 11, the control unit 600 controls the rotation of the leg-mounting portion rotation actuator 990 at a constant rotation speed, so that the patient with strong foot strength can be treated. Can increase the load, and can reduce the load for the patient with weak leg strength.

Further, even if there is a difference in force between the left foot and the right foot of the treated person, the leg mounting portion 900b for the right foot, the leg mounting portion 900c for the left foot, the right leg mounting portion rotating actuator 990R and the left By having the leg-mounting portion rotating actuator 990L, it is possible to control each of the leg-mounting portion 900b for the right foot and the leg-mounting portion 900c for the left foot. As a result, a load corresponding to each of the left foot and the right foot of the treated person can be generated. You can also train to eliminate the difference in power between your left and right feet.
