An electric / fluid pressure converter, a plurality of sound-sensing tubes whose internal pressure is changed by fluids sent from the electric-fluid converter via pipes with a time lag, and a plurality of sound-sensing tubes that surround the sound-sensing tubes and are less stretchable With an exterior belt.

Further, in a massage machine according to a second aspect of the present invention, in the massage machine according to the first aspect, the signal processing system variably controls amplitudes and / or delay times of a plurality of bass signals. It includes a vessel.

[0008]

According to the present invention, a low-frequency range signal separated from a reproduction signal of a music source is delayed by a signal processing system to generate a low-frequency range signal having a plurality of time differences, whereby a plurality of electric / fluid pressure converters are produced. Is driven, and the internal pressure of a plurality of sound sensing tubes is changed by the fluid sent from each transducer with a time lag, and if a sound sensing belt that encloses the plurality of sound sensing tubes is wrapped around, the music can be enjoyed while enjoying the music. It is a massage machine that can receive a massage synchronized with.

Now, the operation of the present invention will be described by taking the case where the number of the sound sensing tubes of the sound sensing belt is three. FIG. 4 shows the generation principle of the massage wave. Figure 4 (a)
In the block diagram of, the music source 2 such as a CD player
The reproduction signal from the No. 1 is not only heard as music by the headphones 24 via the headphone amplifier 23, but also passes through the bandpass filter 22 to separate the bass signal.

This low-pitched sound signal is applied to the delay elements D1 and D.
2 and D3 are respectively shifted in time and output sequentially with a time difference. These signals actuate the electro-hydraulic pressure converters P1, P2, P3 via the drive amplifiers A1, A2, A3, respectively (FIG. 4 (b)). Each electric / fluid pressure converter has a corresponding sound-sensing tube T1, T2,
A fluid pressure wave having pressure generation time lags t1 and t2 is sent to T3 (FIG. 4C). In this way, the pressure in the sound-sensing tube sequentially changes in synchronization with the rhythm of music, and a massage wave is generated to massage the wound portion of the sound-sensing belt.

Therefore, according to the present invention having the above-described structure, it is possible to enjoy a music while receiving a massage in synchronization with the music, so that an unnatural feeling of use and time loss are not felt.

Further, since the controller can control the amplitude and delay time of the bass signal to adjust the speed and pressure of the massage wave, it is possible to loosen the muscles of the body to relax the body. A wide range of massage effects can be obtained up to the targeted massage of fat.
