Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a pine surge device that pine-surges a user using a pine-surge roller that moves back and forth.

(Prior art) A pine surge device has a pine surge roller that reciprocates along a guide rail laid on the top surface of a base, thereby pine surges a user lying face up on a cover on the top surface of the base. There is something like this.

Among such pine surge devices, there are those in which the pine surge roller reciprocates over the entire travel range, and those in which the pine surge roller reciprocates in an arbitrary travel range that is narrower than the entire travel range.

However, in the former configuration in which the pine surge roller reciprocates over the entire travel range, it takes a considerable amount of time for the pine surge roller to make one reciprocation. Therefore, a considerable amount of time passes after a certain part of the user's body receives pine surge until that part receives pine surge again, making it impossible to enhance the pine surge effect. In order to eliminate these drawbacks, it is possible to increase the running speed of the Pine Surge Roller to shorten the time required for one round trip, but if the running speed of the Pine Surge Roller is fast, the user will feel pain and the Pine Surge effect will be reduced. The speed cannot be increased too much because the speed will decrease.

Moreover, according to the latter method of partially reciprocating the pine surge roller, a certain part of the user's body can receive a strong pine surge. However, in order to receive the strong pine surge all over the body, the range in which the pine surge roller reciprocates must be changed frequently, for example, by operating a switch, which results in a problem that the operation becomes complicated and difficult to use.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, the conventional pine surgery device has been unable to provide highly effective pine surgery to the entire body with simple operation.

This invention was made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and its purpose is to enable the same part of the body to be repeatedly massaged in a short period of time, and to be able to massage the entire body, upper body, and lower body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pine surge device that can receive pine needles over a predetermined range.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means and Effects for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a pine surge device having a pine surge roller that reciprocates along a guide rail, in which the pine surge roller is moved over a travel range narrower than the entire travel range. The robot is moved in a predetermined direction while repeatedly traveling back and forth within a narrow range, and is provided with a control device that sets one of the forward and return routes facing the predetermined direction to be longer than the other during the narrow range reciprocation.

As a result, the user can repeatedly receive pine surges in a predetermined area of the body multiple times in a short period of time, and in addition, such pine surges can be applied to a predetermined area of the body, such as the whole body or half of the body. can be received.

The first limit switch 10 detects that
3 and a second limit switch 104 that detects when the other end is reached. That is, the first limit switch 103 is provided at the head side end of the user U lying on the base 1, as shown in No. 15, and the second limit switch 104
is provided at the end of the foot.

Next, the operation of the pine surgery device having the above configuration will be explained. First, in order to move the holder 51 over the entire length of the base 1, the first switch 91 of the remote controller 87 is pressed. Then, the signal from the first switch 91 is input to the operation instruction calculation device 77 via the signal discrimination circuit 78. Then, a signal indicating this fact is outputted from the arithmetic unit 77 to the buzzer drive circuit 101 and the first light emitting element 96 via the motor drive circuit 86 and the signal forming circuit 79. As a result, the first light emitting element 96 lights up and the buzzer 99 sounds, and the holder 51 moves from the foot side to the head side as shown in FIG. The number of pulses required at this time is detected by the counter circuit 80, and the counted number is stored until it is reset.

The holder 51 that has traveled toward the head side is reversed in response to the signal by actuating the first limit switch 103 provided on the head side, and travels toward the foot side again. Then, by operating the second limit switch 104 on the foot side, the vehicle is reversed again and runs toward the head side. Then, after actuating the first limit switch 103 on the head side and reversing to the foot side, the vehicle heads toward the foot side while repeating back-and-forth travel in a travel range narrower than the entire travel range. This round trip is performed by the frequency synchronization signal circuit 8.
A counter circuit 8 calculates the number of pulses detected by 5.
The operation instruction calculating device 77 is set in advance so that by counting at 0, the outward path Tw from the head side to the foot side will be 190 pulses, and the return path Tv from the foot side to the head side will be 110 pulses. In other words, the holder 51 moves toward the foot side for 190 pulses (approximately 12 cm) and then returns toward the head side for 110 pulses (approximately 7 cm). Therefore, the holding body 51 moves back and forth over a distance that is sufficiently short compared to the entire travel range, and moves toward the foot side by the difference in distance between the outbound trip Tw and the return trip Tv every time the holding body 51 moves back and forth over a distance that is sufficiently short compared to the entire travel range. can receive pine surge on a part of the body multiple times in a short period of time by the pine surge roller 67 provided on the holding body 51, and can also receive the pine surge on the entire body.

When the holding body 51 reaches the foot side in this way and activates the second limit switch 104, the holding body 51 reciprocates the entire length of the travel range, lightly massages the whole body of the user U, and then moves to the foot side. From there, the vehicle travels back and forth toward the head side over a distance that is sufficiently smaller than the total length of the travel range. In this case, the direction from the foot side to the head side is the outward path Tw, which takes about 190 pulses, and the direction from the head side to the foot side is the return path.
It becomes TV and goes about 110 pulses. Therefore, the holder 51 travels along its entire length while repeating partial reciprocating travel, similar to the travel from the head side to the foot side.

Then, when the holding body 51 returns to the head side, the movement to the foot side is repeated again.Such a movement pattern can be created by pressing the fifth switch 95 or by setting the timer circuit 82 from the start of operation. After a predetermined time, for example 15 minutes, the holder 51 returns to the foot side and the operation is stopped.

Furthermore, if the user U wants to receive pine surgery only on the upper body, the user presses the first switch 91 twice.
Then, the first light emitting element 96 repeats blinking at one second intervals, and the holder 51 moves from the foot side to the head side as shown in FIG. The number of pulses is counted and stored in memory circuit 81.

Further, the point M where the holding body 51 is reversed between the upper and lower body is, for example, from the head side, assuming that the number of pulses required to travel the entire travel range is Pl.
It is set to 0.55Pl, and 0.45Pl from the foot side.

After the holder 51 has made one reciprocation, it travels to the head side, activates the first limit switch 103, reverses itself, travels to the foot side, and again at point M, where pulses of 0.55Pl are counted from the head side end. Flip to the head side. Then, after reaching the head side end and reversing by actuating the first limit switch 103, a partial reciprocating movement is performed from the head side end. At this time, the forward path Tw from the head side to the foot side is set to advance by 190 pulses, and the return path Tv from the foot side to the head side is set to travel by 110 pulses. Therefore, since the support body 51 travels back and forth over a distance that is sufficiently short compared to the entire travel range and moves toward the foot side by the difference between the return trip Tw and the outbound trip Tv, the user U can move multiple parts of his or her upper body in a short period of time. The entire upper body can receive pine surges over and over again.

In this way, when the counter circuit 80 counts 0.55 Pl pulses and detects that the support 51 has reached the M point, the support 51 makes one round trip between the M point and the head side end, and then returns to the M point. The same partial reciprocating movement as described above is repeated from the head toward the head side. At this time, the direction from the foot side to the head side is the outward path Tw, and the direction from the head side to the foot side is the return path Tv.

Such upper body muscle surge will be repeated until the time set in the timer circuit 82 or until the fifth switch 95 is pressed.

FIG. 18 shows a case where the lower body of the user is massaged, and in this case, the first switch 91 is pressed three times. As a result, the support body 51 partially reciprocates between the foot side and point M in the same manner as the upper body massage, and the entire lower body of the user U is massaged.

On the other hand, if the user wants to receive a pine surge by reciprocating the holding body 51 over the entire travel range, the user presses the second switch 92 of the remote controller 87 once. Then, the second light emitting element 97 lights up, the buzzer 99 sounds, and the holder 51 is turned on as shown in FIG.
The body travels back and forth between the foot side and the head side, resulting in a full-body pine surge.

While undergoing such full body pine surgery,
If the user U wants to receive reciprocating pine surges only on one part of the body, when the holder 51 is moving from the foot side to the head side, as shown in FIG.
The second switch 92 is pressed again at any point where the user U, indicated by _F1 , wishes to receive the pine surge. As a result, that point _F1 becomes the designated position, and the second light emitting element 97 repeats blinking, lighting up for 3/4 seconds and turning off for 1/4 second, and a pulse from the foot side to the designated position _F1 is emitted. The number is counted,
For example, after traveling from the designated position _F1 toward the foot side for 200 pulses, the motor reverses itself and returns to the designated position, and the reciprocal travel to the designated position is repeated.

When such reciprocating movement to the designated position is repeated, for example, three times, the holder 51 leaves the designated position and travels toward the head until the first limit switch 103 is activated. First limit switch 103
When activated, the holding body 51 is reversed and repeats the specified position reciprocating movement of 200 pulses three times at the specified position _F1 . Then, it travels to the foot side, operates the second limit switch 104, reverses itself, returns to the designated position _F1 , and repeats the reciprocal travel to the designated position.

Up to three places can be specified for such specified position travel, and when the fourth place is specified, the first specified place is canceled.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, when the holding body 51 is traveling from the foot side to the head side, the fourth switch 94 is activated at any position _F2 desired by the user U.
If it continues to be turned on, the third light emitting element 98 lights up and the holder 51 turns over and runs toward the foot. 4th switch 94 at any position F ₃
When the holder 51 is turned off, the holding body 51 is reversed again and travels toward the head side, and repeats partial reciprocating travel within the range of, for example, 190 pulses.

Further, if the third switch 93 is kept on at the _F4 position, the holding body 51 moves toward the head side beyond the range of partial reciprocating movement. and any position
When the third switch 93 is turned off at _F5 , partial reciprocation is repeated within the range of 190 pulses at that position.

That is, the third
By operating the switch 93 or the fourth switch, the holding body 51 can be partially reciprocated at any position.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, the present invention moves the pine surge roller in a predetermined direction while repeatedly reciprocating in a narrower range than the entire travel range, and also moves the pine surge roller in the predetermined direction on the outbound and return routes of the narrow range reciprocation. I made the one side facing longer than the other. Therefore, the user can receive pine surgery multiple times on a predetermined area within a short period of time, thereby increasing the pine surgery effect, and moreover, the highly effective pine surgery can be performed without complicated switch operations. It has the advantage of being able to be applied to the entire body without any discomfort.
