[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, the facial massager of the illustrated embodiment is used with a power adapter A shown in phantom. That is, the power supply adapter A having a plug a that can be plugged into an outlet of a commercial AC power supply has a built-in transformer and a rectifier, and the output of the power supply adapter A is for driving a DC motor B, which will be described in detail later. It is supplied to the lower power socket 2 (FIG. 2).

A slide switch 3 that can be operated in the vertical direction with a fingertip is exposed on the outer surface of the machine body housing 1 composed of a grip portion 1a and a head portion 1b which can be held by the user's hand. The current supply to B can be controlled. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3,
The machine body housing 1, which is injection-molded from a plastic material as a hollow member, is composed of a front housing 1F and a rear housing 1B which are assembled to each other by a pair of assembly screws 4A and 4B in a state of being abutted in the left-right direction. An impact rod 5 extending in a substantially horizontal direction is disposed in the head portion 1b of the machine body housing 1 so as to be capable of reciprocating by impact, and the impact rod 5 is protruded to the outside from a through hole 7 of the front housing 1F. An impact pad 8 that can come into contact with the user's face is detachably supported on the outer end 5 a of the device 5.

The hitting pad 8 is located inside a tubular collar 9 composed of a ring-shaped bayonet member 9a and a decorative tube 9b so as not to be normally touched from the outside. At the returning end of the, the soft pad portion 8a of the hitting pad 8 can project out of the cylindrical collar 9 as shown by the phantom line in FIG. The bayonet member 9a, which is well known for camera lenses and the like, has a plurality of integrally molded bayonet claws 9c.
Can be inserted into the corresponding bayonet groove 9d formed on the surface of the front housing 1F. Therefore, after inserting the bayonet claw 9c into the bayonet groove 9d, the tubular collar 9 can be rotated by a certain angle with respect to the machine housing 1. The tubular collar 9 can be securely fixed to the machine body housing 1, and the tubular collar 9 can be removed from the machine body housing 1 by rotating the cylinder collar 9 fixed to the machine body housing 1 in the opposite direction by a certain angle. be able to.

In addition, inside the machine body housing 1,
A resin-made mechanical house 1 to which the hitting rod 5 is attached and which has a built-in reciprocating mechanism for reciprocating the hitting rod 5.
1 is supported via four anti-vibration rubbers. That is, the same mechanical house 11 formed as a hollow member is composed of two front house 11F and rear house 11B which are formed in a rectangular parallelepiped box with the facing surfaces open, and the front and rear surfaces of these front house 11F and rear house 11B. The rear housing 1 corresponding to the connecting shaft portion 11b of the rear house 11B is integrally molded with the connecting shaft portions 11a and 11b, respectively, to which the vibration-proof rubbers 13A, 13B, 13C and 13D having the collar 13a can be fixed.
On the inner surface of B, cylindrical stays 1c and 1d whose front end surfaces are abutted against the brim 13a of the rubber cushions 13A and 13B are integrally formed. A seat surface 15 is formed on the inner surface of the through hole 7 of the front housing 1F, on which a vibration-proof rubber 13A fixed to the connecting shaft portion 11c of the front house 11F can be seated.
On the inner surface of the front housing 1F facing the remaining connecting shaft portion 11d at the lower part of the front house 11F, the front end surface corresponds to the vibration isolating rubber 1
The cylindrical stay 1e that is brought into contact with the collar 13a of 3A, 13B, 13C, and 13D is integrally molded.

Therefore, when the mechanical house 11 having the reciprocating mechanism and the like is assembled to the machine body housing 1, the mechanical house 11 has a plurality of anti-vibration rubbers 13A, 13A.
Since it is supported by the machine housing 1 via B, 13C and 13D, it is possible to prevent the mechanical vibration generated by the operation of the reciprocating mechanism from being transmitted to the machine housing 1 which is leaned by hand.

As shown in FIG. 5, a safety switch 17 for detecting a protrusion 9e protruding from the base of the cylindrical collar 9 is fixed to the outer surface of the mechanical house 11, and the safety switch 17 is a DC motor B. Built into the power circuit of. Therefore, when the protruding portion 9e of the tubular collar 9 is not detected by the sensing lever 17a of the safety switch 17, the sensing lever 17a is moved to the position indicated by the phantom line and the power circuit of the DC motor B is released. The impact rod 5 is prevented from being inadvertently operated in a state where the collar 9 is not fixed to the body housing 1.

A vertical DC motor B for driving a reciprocating mechanism is fixed to the lower part of the mechanical house 11 by a fixing screw 19. That is, the drive pinion 21 of the output shaft of the same DC motor B located in the mechanical house 11 has a large first reduction gear 25 rotatably supported by a first support shaft 23 parallel to the output shaft. The small-diameter tooth portion 25b of the first reduction gear 25 is meshed with the large-diameter tooth portion 25a, and the small-diameter tooth portion 25a of the second reduction gear 29, which is freely rotatable around the second support shaft 27, is meshed with the small-diameter tooth portion 25a. The small-diameter tooth portion 29b of the reduction gear 29 has the central shaft 3 fixed to the front house 11F.
It is meshed with the outer peripheral tooth portion 33a of the rotary disc 33 which is rotatably supported by the first disc. Therefore, the first reduction gear 25, the second reduction gear 29, and the rotary disk 33 form a reduction gear train.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, two guide rods 35 extending in a direction parallel to the striking rod 5 are bridged over the upper part of the mechanical house 11, and the guide rods 35 serve to strike the impact. The resin slider 37 fixed to the inner end of the striking rod 5 is guided in the front-rear direction. That is,
Mounting part 11 of the front house 11F and the rear house 11B
Both guide rods 35, both ends of which are fixed to c and 11d, are penetrated through the through hole 39 of the slider 37, and between the spring hook 11e of the rear house 11B and the inner end portion 5b of the hitting rod 5. An accumulating spring 41 that can store impulse energy is interposed in this. A buffer spring 43, which is a compression spring, is fitted to the portion of the guide rod 35 in front of the slider 37. These buffer springs 43 are provided in the slider 37 at a later stage of the backward movement process of the impact rod 5. The shock of the mechanical house 11 is buffered by making contact with.

An eccentric pin 45 is fixed to the surface of the rotary disk 33, and a driven piece 37a protruding from the bottom surface of the slider 37 is in the movement range of a roller 46 rotatably supported by the eccentric pin 45. Is located. As can be seen from FIG. 4, the follower piece 37a has an asymmetrical shape with respect to the movement trajectory of the eccentric pin 45.
When the eccentric pin 45 is moved to the right, the driven piece 37
a is pushed to the right to store energy in the energy storage spring 41, and when the eccentric pin 45 moves to the left, the driven piece 37a is disengaged from the eccentric pin 45 and the energy storage spring 41 is released.
The stored energy of will be released.

On the other hand, a stopper ring 47 is fixed to the outer end portion 5a of the hitting rod 5 and an annular groove 49 is formed therein, and a replaceable hitting pad 8 is attached to and detached from the outer end portion 5a. Fixed as possible. The hitting pad 8 having a mounting disk 8b having a pad portion 8a attached to the surface thereof is provided with a decorative plate 8c for covering the screen of the mounting disk 8b, and the center of the decorative plate 8c is the outside of the hitting rod 5. An insertion hole 51 for receiving the end 5a is formed. An O-ring 53 that can be elastically engaged with the annular groove 49 is held between the mounting disk 8b and the decorative plate 8c.
The hitting pad 8 can be replaced with the tubular collar 9 removed from the machine body housing 1. Of course, the hitting pad 8 is not limited to the one having the structure shown in the drawing, and may be replaced with a plurality of types prepared for each purpose.

Although the illustrated embodiment has a structure in which it is driven by a DC motor B using a power adapter A, it has a structure in which an AC motor driven by a commercial power source is used or a structure in which a rechargeable battery is built-in. Good. Further, as the reciprocating mechanism for reciprocatingly impacting the hitting rod, a reciprocating mechanism other than the illustrated structure can be selected which is more effective than known techniques.

Since the facial massager according to the illustrated embodiment has the structure as described above, when the slide switch 3 is operated, the DC motor B is excited and the rotational movement of the drive pinion 21 of the DC motor B is decelerated by the first deceleration. The speed is reduced by the gear 25, the second reduction gear 29, and the rotary disk 33, and the rotary disk 33 is rotated at a low speed in the arrow direction of FIG.
In this case, the driven piece 37a of the slider 37 is pushed to the right in the course of the eccentric pin 45 of the rotary disk 33 moving to the right in FIG. Compressed energy storage spring 41
Impulsive energy is stored in. Next, in the process in which the eccentric pin 45 moves to the left, the roller 46 of the eccentric pin 45 is disengaged from the driven piece 37a of the slider 37, so that the energy stored in the energy storage spring 41 is released all at once. The impact rod 5 and the impact pad 8 are returned by shock, and the pad portion 8a of the impact pad 8 massages the user's face. Since the massage at this time is performed by repeated impulses of the hitting pad 8 and the hitting rod 5, it is possible to hit deeply into the deep tissue of the face, promoting blood circulation by expanding the capillaries and stimulating peripheral nerves. Can be done effectively.

To replace the hitting pad 8, the tubular collar 9 may be removed from the body housing 1. That is, when the tubular collar 9 is removed from the machine body housing 1, the impact pad 8 held by the impact rod 5 is exposed to the outside.
Although the hitting pad 8 can be replaced, the safety switch 17 responds to the removal of the fuselage housing 1 and the power circuit of the DC motor B is released in any state to prevent the DC motor B from operating easily. To be done.
Therefore, the user can safely replace the hitting pad 8, but if the tubular collar 9 is attached to the machine body housing 1 again, the protrusion 9 of the machine body housing 1 is replaced.
Since the safety switch 17 automatically returns to the old position by pressing e, the facial massager can be used only by operating the slide switch 3.

Further, in the facial massager according to the illustrated embodiment, a mechanical house 1 having a reciprocating mechanism and the like assembled therein.
Since 1 is supported by the machine housing 1 via a plurality of anti-vibration rubbers 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D, the mechanical vibration generated by the operation of the reciprocating mechanism is transmitted to the machine housing 1 to be leaned by hand. Not only is it prevented, but because the gear train that makes up the reciprocating mechanism is built into the mechanical house 11, a quiet facial massager that does not leak gear meshing noises or impact noises to the outside of the machine body housing 1 Can be provided.

[0022]

As is clear from the above description, according to the facial massager of the present invention, the face can be repeatedly and strongly hit by the hitting pad, so that the deep circulation of the facial tissue promotes blood circulation. And peripheral nerve stimulation can be performed.
