Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to an automatic sole pine surge device that automatically performs pine surgery on the sole of the foot, and in particular, the pressing part that intermittently presses the sole of the foot moves in and out. The present invention relates to a configuration for appropriately moving a fluid cylinder provided at the tip of a rod.

[Prior Art] Various methods have been proposed to perform pine surgery on the soles of the feet, but in recent years, instead of manual pine surgery methods, sole pine surgery devices that use mechanical or electrical methods have been developed. Efforts are being made to put it into practical use.

However, with any sole pine cage device, it is impossible to perform acupressure-like action (a), such as when applying acupressure to specific points on the sole of the foot (for example, acupuncture points), and it is also difficult to Due to the presence of unevenness on the sole of the foot, it is extremely difficult to pine-surge the entire sole of the foot with a constant pressing force.

Therefore, the present applicant provided a pressing part that intermittently presses the sole of the foot at the tip of the retractable rod of the fluid cylinder, and added the pressing part to the fluid supply and discharge circuit that supplies and discharges working fluid to the fluid cylinder. We have proposed an automatic sole pine surger device equipped with a pressing force control means for controlling the maximum pressing force acting on the sole of the foot. According to this automatic foot massage device, it is possible to apply a preferable acupressure effect to the sole of the foot, and also to press the pressing part of the fluid cylinder against the sole of the foot with a constant pressing force. , it can be expected that a suitable pine cage effect will be obtained.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the automatic sole pine cage device described above, when moving the fluid cylinder along the sole of the foot,
If the movement of the fluid cylinder is not restricted in the proper position,
This causes a problem in that the pressing portion at the tip of the retractable rod protrudes outward from the contour of the foot in plan view.

Further, if the moving end of the fluid cylinder is set at a fixed position, a problem arises in that it is not possible to accommodate the different sizes of feet of each person.

Furthermore, simply moving the fluid cylinder so that the movement trajectory of the fluid cylinder becomes a constant trajectory cannot meet the request even if there are areas where the user wants to perform pine surgery intensively. The problem is that it cannot be done.

[Means for solving problems]

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention provides an automatic sole massager that allows the pressing part provided at the tip of the retractable rod of the fluid cylinder to effectively apply acupressure to the sole of the foot without protruding outward from the outline of the foot. The technical problem was to provide a 7 surge device.

The first means to achieve this technical problem is to provide a footrest on one wall of the casing, and
Inside the casing, there is provided a fluid cylinder having a pressing part at the tip of the exit/exit door for intermittently pressing the sole of the foot placed on the foot resting part, and a first driving motor as a driving source. an X-axis direction drive means for moving the fluid cylinder in the X-axis direction; a Y-axis direction drive means for moving the fluid cylinder in the Y-axis direction orthogonal to the X-axis direction using a second drive motor as a drive source; limit switches that move integrally with the fluid cylinder to detect respective moving ends of the fluid cylinder on one side in the X-axis direction, on the other side in the X-axis direction, on one side in the Y-axis direction, and on the other side in the Y-axis direction; contact portions are provided corresponding to both the inner and outer edges and the front and back edges of the foot placed on the foot rest, and each of the limit switches abuts on one side of the fluid cylinder in the X-axis direction; When one of the pair of limit switches for detecting the moving end on the side and the other side in the X-axis direction comes into contact with the contact member, the rotation direction of the first drive motor is reversed and the fluid cylinder is rotated. When one of the pair of limit switches for detecting the moving end on one side in the Y-axis direction and the other side in the Y-axis direction comes into contact with the contact portion side, the rotation direction of the second drive motor is changed. It is provided with control means for reversing the rotation. In this case,
At least one of the contact members may be slidably held in the casing.

The second means for achieving the above technical problem is to provide a foot rest on one wall of the casing, and
Inside the casing, there is provided a fluid cylinder having a pressing part at the tip of a retractable rod that intermittently presses the sole of the foot placed on the foot resting part, and a fluid cylinder using a first drive motor as a driving source. An X-axis direction drive means for moving the cylinder in the X-axis direction, and a Y-axis direction drive means for moving the fluid cylinder in the Y-axis direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction using a second drive motor as a drive source, and Internal motion switch, external motion switch,
A manual operating device having a forward motion switch and a backward motion switch is provided, and when the internal motion switch is turned on, the first drive motor is rotated in the normal direction, and the external motion switch is turned on.
a control means for rotating the first drive motor in the reverse direction when the N operation is performed, causing the second drive motor to rotate in the normal direction when the forward movement switch is turned ON, and causing the second drive motor to rotate in the reverse direction when the backward movement switch is turned ON; It's in place. In this case, the operating device is provided with a setting switch, and when the setting switch is turned on, the control means is configured to reverse the rotational direction of the first drive motor or the second drive motor at a predetermined period. You may.

[Effect]

According to the first means, when the first drive motor and the second drive motor rotate in a predetermined direction, the pressing part at the tip of the retractable rod of the fluid cylinder presses the sole of the foot placed on the foot rest part. Either one of a pair of limit switches detects the moving end on one side and the other side in the X-axis direction while moving in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction while being intermittently pressed with a predetermined pressing force. When the limit switch contacts the abutting member, at this point, the rotation direction of the first drive motor is reversed by the operation of the control means, and the fluid cylinder begins to move in the opposite direction to the X-axis direction. . Also, while the fluid cylinder is moving in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction in the same manner as above, one of the pair of glue mint switches that detects the moving end on one side and the other side in the Y-axis direction is activated. Even when the limit switch comes into contact with the contact member, at this point the rotation direction of the second drive motor is reversed by the operation of the control means, and the fluid cylinder begins to move in the opposite direction to the Y-axis direction. In other words, movement of the fluid cylinder in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction is regulated at a predetermined position by each contact member. Since each contact portion is arranged to correspond to both the inner and outer edges and the front and back edges of the foot placed on the foot rest, the pressing portion of the fluid cylinder protrudes outward from the contour of the foot. You will be able to move without any trouble.

If at least one of the contact members is made slidable, the moving end of the fluid cylinder can be adjusted according to the size of the user's foot by appropriately sliding the contact member. can be set at a desired position.

According to the second means, when the internal motion switch of the operating device is manually turned ON, the first drive motor rotates in the forward direction due to the operation of the control means, and the fluid cylinder intermittently presses the sole of the foot. while moving to one side in the X-axis direction,
When the external motion switch is turned ON, the first drive motor is reversed by the operation of the control means, and the fluid cylinder is
Move to the other side in the axial direction. Furthermore, when the forward movement switch is turned ON, the second drive motor rotates forward due to the operation of the control means, and the fluid cylinder moves to one side in the Y-axis direction, whereas when the rear movement switch is turned ON. In this case, the second drive motor is reversely rotated by the operation of the control means, and the fluid cylinder is moved to the other side in the Y-axis direction. In this way, by turning on each switch of the operating device as appropriate, the fluid cylinder not only moves according to the user's request, but also moves the fluid cylinder in the X-axis direction and Y-axis direction. It becomes possible to align the moving end with both the inner and outer edges and both the front and rear edges of the foot. In addition, if the configuration is such that the operating device is provided with a setting switch, turn this setting switch ON.
In the FM mode, the first drive motor or the second drive motor alternately rotates forward and reverse at a predetermined period due to the operation of the control means. If this predetermined cycle is set to a relatively short cycle, the fluid cylinder will reciprocate over the same area within a narrow range, making it possible to intensively apply pineapple to a specific area on the sole of the foot. It becomes possible.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

First, the user places both feet on the pair of foot rests 4, 4 while sitting on a chair or the like, and tightens the feet with bells I/5a, 5a, as shown in FIG.

Under such conditions, by turning on the main switch 71, the compressor 51 shown in FIG. 11 is operated and air is discharged into the main passage 52, and the air solenoid valve is A signal m is sent to 57, and the retractable rods 30b, 30b of the pair of air cylinders 30, 30 move forward and backward at a predetermined period. As a result, the pressing portion 30f provided at the tip of each retractable rod 30b is intermittently pressed against the sole of the foot via the seat 3, as shown in FIG. In this case, the maximum pressing force acting on the sole of the foot from the pressing portion 30f is adjusted by the user operating the knob 72 as appropriate while visually checking the pressure gauge 54 shown in FIG. This is done by changing the pressure value of the compressed air.

While the air cylinders 30 and 30 are moving inward or outward in this manner, the air cylinder 30 on the right side shown in FIG. , that is, when the limit switch 36 contacts the abutting member 38 or the limit switch 37 contacts the abutting member 39, the control unit 10 causes the first drive motor 16 to rotate at a speed different from that of the previous rotation. The limit switch 36 or 37 is once separated from the contact member 38 or 39 by sending the signal j for a short period of time to rotate it in the opposite direction. Accordingly, the abutment member 38.

Since 39 is shaped to correspond to the outer and inner edges of the foot, the air cylinders 30, 30 move without protruding outward from the contour of the foot.
