Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a pine surgery machine in which a treatment element performs treatment while moving to a plurality of locations according to a predetermined procedure.

[Background technology]

As mentioned above, the treatment procedure is programmed in advance, and when the treatment element operates for a set time at a certain position according to this protara, the treatment element moves and operates for a further set time at another position. Examples of this have already been published in Japanese Patent Publication No. 55-24895 and Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-10133.
It is disclosed in Publication No. 2. Rather than suddenly receiving a strong pine surge, it is most effective to first gently relax the body with a weak pine surge, then to relax the affected area with a strong pine surge, and finally to heal the body by receiving a weak pine surge. However, if such a procedure is programmed in advance, pine surgery can be performed according to the preferred procedure with only the first operation, and a large pine surgery effect can be obtained with a simple operation. However, in the method disclosed in the above-mentioned publication, since the operation time of each treatment element in the Zurotarum is fixed, the treatment time cannot be adjusted according to the user's request, and the operation time at a certain position is fixed. In such cases, the operation of the treatment element had to be controlled manually.

[Purpose of the invention]

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and since the treatment procedure is pre-planned, it is easy to obtain a highly effective treatment for pine surgery, and it is also possible to perform pine surgery at each position or with a certain treatment method. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pine surgery machine that allows a user to adjust the treatment time according to his or her needs, thereby providing a treatment with a higher pine surgery effect.

[Disclosure of the invention] In the present invention, 'j' is preset as described above.

In a pine-surge machine in which the treatment element changes its operating position and operation method according to the procedure according to Jiram, the operation of the treatment element '''j
The present invention is characterized in that it is provided with an input section for changing the operating time during the period Δ, and a control circuit that controls the timer circuit based on the output from this input section. Changing the operation time here applies to all movements after the change input section is operated, even if the operation time is changed only for a certain movement of the therapist when the change input section is operated. All operating times may be changed in relation to the above.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on examples. In terms of the structure of the pine massage machine, the illustrated example is one that can selectively perform pine massage for stretching the back and massage pine surgery using a type of treatment element, and is installed on a chair that can be reclined. Built into the backrest.

This chair has a seat part ■ and an arm rest on the lower frame 6, which is framed by a pipe, and the lower part of the backrest frame ■ is pivotally connected to the lower frame (1), and the lower end of the frame (c) and the lower part A gas link ■ is installed between the frame 6υ, and the armrest is a gas link by operating a lever ■ installed on the side of the yoke.
The backrest can be reclined by expanding and contracting, and a pair of rails (8) each having a 3-shaped cross section and facing opening surfaces are fixed to the frames (2) on both sides of the backrest. In addition, a headrest ■ is provided at the upper end of the backrest (B), and supports (1) are placed vertically on both sides of the back of the cover sheet, which is provided on the front of the backrest (B) up to the headrest (C). It is arranged.

A rack (9) is provided at each opening edge of the pair of rails (8).
are fixed along the longitudinal direction, and both rails +8) (8
), there is a pinion (c) that engages with the rack (9), a pine surge mechanism, and a rail that moves within each rail (8)).
A mechanism section equipped with this is installed. This mechanism part has a seven-taper M that can freely rotate forward and reverse, and runs by itself along a rail (8), and has a pair of massage wheels (4) (4) as treatment elements.
It consists of a main shaft (1) with a main shaft (1) mounted in the center, a support frame (40) approximately parallel to this main shaft (1), a box A box (10) installed at one end, and a seventh gear M at the other end. As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 5, the cylindrical body clD is attached to both ends of the main shaft (1) so as to be freely rotatable, and the cylindrical body clD and the cylinder (a) that roll inside the rail (8) are further attached. It is attached so that it can freely rotate, and the support frame 1 (
The mechanism section is constructed between the rails (8) (8) by means of a total of four wheels, including the wheels (A) which are freely rotatably attached to both ends of the rail (e). The main shaft (1) is a hollow shaft, and a movable shaft (2) is coaxially inserted into the interior thereof, and the cylindrical body Qυ is attached to both ends of the movable shaft (2) by spline connection. Each cylindrical body Qυ is provided with the pinion (c) that engages with the rack (9), so that when the moving shaft (2) is rotated, the mechanical part moves along the rail (8) and the back surface of the backrest. Perform up and down movement.

A pair of massagers (4) attached to the main shaft (1) both have an eccentric inner ring 0υ and a ball on the outer periphery of this eccentric inner ring 0υ.
It consists of an outer ring that is freely rotatable through the
A groove ■ is formed in the axial direction on the inner peripheral surface of the eccentric inner ring 0]), and the groove → is slidably engaged with the protrusion provided in the axial direction on the outer peripheral surface of the main shaft (1). By matching, eccentric inner ring is 0
]) rotates together with the main shaft (1), and a kneading ring (4) is slidable in the axial direction of the main shaft (1).

When the main shaft (1) is rotated, at least the eccentric inner ring G11) of the kneading wheel (4) rotates, and each eccentric inner ring CD in the pair of kneading wheels (4) is rotated by the same amount in the same direction. They are mounted eccentrically by 1, and inclined in opposite directions with respect to the main shaft (1). Therefore, the rotation of the main shaft (1) causes the main shaft (1) of both kneading wheels (4) (4) to move toward the cover sheet side.
Not only does the amount of protrusion from the cover sheet change periodically, but also the distance between the two massage wheels (4) (4) on the cover sheet side changes periodically. The main axis of this fir import (4) < 4) (
The rotation according to 1) massages the back of the human body leaning against the backrest through the cover sheet. There are two types of pine surge depending on the direction of rotation of the massaging wheel (4). In other words, when the parts of both kneading wheels (4) (4) that protrude a large amount from the main shaft (1) move while pressing the back of the human body from above to below through the cover sheet (kneading). ) and vice versa (sideburns).

Next, a mechanism for changing the width (pitch) between the two massage wheels (4) (4) will be explained. The main shaft (1
) is installed parallel to the feed shaft (3). This rotationally driven feed shaft (3) has a right-hand threaded portion 6 on one side from the center in the axial direction.
→, the other side has 3 left-handed threads, and both threads C(j)(
One end of each connecting arm is screwed together.

The other end of the reconnection arm (T) is connected to the eccentric inner ring C40 of each kneading wheel (4), and the eccentric inner ring (4η) is slidable in the axial direction of the main shaft (1) as described above. Therefore, if the feed shaft (3) is rotated in one direction, the interval between the reconnection arms (to) and the pitch between both massage wheels (4) will become wider, and if it is rotated in the opposite direction, it will become narrower. In this embodiment, when the feed shaft (3) rotates, the main shaft (1) is also necessarily rotated, as will be described later, so that the connection arm (to) and the massaging wheel (4) are rotated. It is connected to the eccentric inner ring 61) through a thrust bearing so that it can freely rotate.

That is, as shown in Fig. 5, a pair of inner flange (to) at the end of the connecting arm (to) is attached to the outer periphery of the extension tube (41a) provided on the inner surface of the eccentric inner ring (01), with both surfaces serving as race surfaces. Race plate (T), both race plates - and inner flange (to)
(with a retainer between the facing surfaces)! The held balls θη are arranged to form a thrust bearing, so that the eccentric inner ring 0◇ and the connecting arm (to) can freely rotate. Here, the reconnection arm (To) is placed between the pair of massage wheels (4) (4), and the lace plate (T) and the extension cylinder part (4) of the eccentric inner ring 0◇ are placed.
1a) A thrust spring II, which is a compression spring, is provided between the retaining ring members fixed to the end of the thrust spring 0.
Push the thrust bearing toward the massaging wheel (4) with a groan,
Connecting arm (to) to narrow the width between the massage wheels (4)
This movement is transmitted to the massaging wheel (4) via the thrust spring 0 when the pitch between the two massaging wheels (4) is narrowed by rotating the feed shaft (3). When rotating the kneading wheel (4) with a narrow pitch, the thrust spring is 0 in places where a large pinching force is applied, such as the nape of the neck.
Both kneading wheels <4) (4) move in the axial direction where the pitch becomes wider to improve safety and provide a softer kneading taste, while at the same time reducing the backlash of the thrust bearing. This is done by pressing with a thrust spring.

As is clear from the above, there are three rotationally driven axes in this pine surge machine: the main shaft (1), the moving shaft (2), and the feed shaft (3), all of which can be rotated in the forward and reverse directions. It is driven by a heptata M. The main shaft (1) and the moving shaft (2) can be driven alternatively, and the feed i
Bh (3) is constructed so that it can be connected to the septa M only when the main shaft (1) is connected to the T-ta.

To explain this power switching mechanism and the reduction mechanism in the gearbox 00, the power switching mechanism is composed of a planetary device (5), two electromagnetic players SL, , SL2, and an electromagnetic clutch SL3. The output of is alternatively transmitted to a pair of worm shafts α1)uX6. A worm wheel a3 splined to the outer periphery of the cylindrical body (c) meshes with the worm shaft α and the other worm shaft @
The ohm wheel (141) is supported by the shaft Uυ and is engaged with the ohm wheel (141).
) on the other worm wheel (the rotation of the embroidery is also on the axis 0).
The signal is transmitted to the main shaft (1) by an elliptical gear OQ supported at 119 and a driven elliptical gear Q'h that is fixed to the main shaft (1) and meshes with the elliptical gear a0.

In the illustrated example, the planetary device (5) has a sun gear in the inner race 61).
, the planetary gear is a ball 6'4, the internal gear is an outer race Q1, the rear is a retainer, and the worm shaft is 01).
Collar q is freely rotatably attached to the lower end of the collar via a bearing.
Inner race 6p is fixed to the outer periphery of 5fD. This collar has a belt attached to pulley 4 installed on the output shaft of Tanabata M.
A pulley 6'I) connected at 6' is integrally provided. Further, a retainer is fixed to the worm shaft αD, and a retainer is fixed to a cover supported by a bearing 1181). A cover that covers the retainer and the thrust spring that presses the outer race Sakaki in the thrust direction and applies a thrust preload force between the outer race so, the ball (to), and the inner race mo1).
A serpentine branch is integrally formed at the upper part of the worm shaft G force, and is connected by a belt to a serpentine ta provided at the lower part of the worm shaft G force. Now, if the collar and inner race 6D are rotated by the septa M with the worm shaft α old and braking applied, the ball 6 will be prevented from revolving by the retainer, and will only rotate on its own axis and will not move out. Rotate the lace. Then, the worm shaft (2) rotates via the pulley, belt, and spring. Conversely, if braking is applied to the worm shaft α, since the outer race is zeroed through the belt, the ball (goods) will rotate and revolve around the worm shaft (11) via the retainer (goods). Rotate.

To take out the output, a brake is applied to the ohm shaft (11) on the ohm shaft q (19) opposite to Q9, but this braking is done by an electromagnetic pulley provided at the end of each worm shaft (If) G2. The electromagnetic plater SL, which is opposite to the worm axis α, is connected to the upper end of the worm shaft (11). Both electromagnetic brakes SL, SL2 have the same configuration except that they are provided at the lower end below the 1. The excitation force obtained by energizing the coil attracts the play shoe against the return spring, and the play shoe, which is slidable in the axial direction by spline connection to the worm shaft (11) as, is attached to the worm shaft (11) as. By bringing the shoe into contact with the core (2), the worm shaft Qn u' is braked.

The remaining feed shaft (3) is the worm shaft 0 and the electromagnetic clutch S
Driven through L3. A worm shaft (B) is coaxially provided directly above the worm shaft α, and a worm wheel (T) provided at one end of the feed shaft (3) meshes with the worm shaft (2). The box 04 that houses these worm shafts (b) and worm wheels (to) is attached to the top surface of the wIt magnetic clutch SL3, which is attached to the gearbox via a support stand. It is being Electromagnetic clutch SL3 has coil <70, yoke (2), core (c)
, clutch shoe tI, return spring g→, etc. The clutch shoe Q3 is attached to the upper end of the worm shaft α2 by a spline connection so as to be able to transmit rotational force and to freely slide in thrust. A bearing Q0 is disposed between the outer periphery of the upper end] A (7) is attached to the worm shaft (B) by a spline connection, and when the coil q0 is energized, the clutch shoe CI3 moves upward against the return spring G4. The rotation of the worm shaft (support) is transferred to the worm shaft through the clutch shoe (7, 1, core (c)).
and rotates the feed shaft (3).

By the way, this pine surge machine automatically adjusts the vertical position of both kneading wheels (4) along the rail (8), the width between both kneading wheels (4), and the kneading machine according to the input from the controller (6). Ring (4)
It has the function of determining the rotational position of the The means for detecting each movement for this purpose will be described. First, the vertical position of both massage wheels (4) along the rail (8) is determined by the worm wheel α.
The gear ■ attached to j, the gear (2) that meshes with this, and the gear (2) that is connected to the gear (A) and the meshing clutch (E)
) is detected by the 0-tally encoder C(1), which is driven at a very slow speed as the moving shaft (2) rotates as a reduction gear train. Then, the entire vertical movement range of the massaging wheel (4) is divided into multiple sections assigned addresses from OO to ON, and the current position of the massaging wheel (4) is output based on the address. It is something.

The width between the kneading wheels (4) (4) can be detected using one of the connecting arms (
A detection plate (not shown) parallel to the feed shaft (3) is attached to the gearbox (to), and a plurality of photoelectric switches (not shown) are attached to the outer surface of the gearbox, and these photoelectric switches and position detection holes are provided. The detection board detects the location and outputs the number of IN addresses from address 10. In order to detect the amount of protrusion toward the cover sheet side that varies depending on the rotational position of the kneading wheel (4), a magnet o value is attached to the surface of the drying box Qd side of the disk (18) fixed to the main shaft (1). At the same time, as shown in FIG. 2, a pair of reed switches LS, LS2, which are turned on in response to the magnets, are installed on the side of the gearbox 00 at positions across the main shaft (1). Here, the 11-de switch LS and the disc H rotating together with the kneading wheel (4)
When the reed switch LS2 is turned on facing the magnet 01, the amount of protrusion of the massage wheel (4) toward the four sides of the cover sheet is maximized, and when the reed switch LS2 is turned on, the amount of protrusion is minimized.

Selection of operations in the pine surge machine constructed as described above is performed by an operating device (6) which is detachably attached to the armrest. This operating device (6) is connected to the main body control unit located inside the chair via the connection cord (7).
As shown in the figure, there is a 5-position switch sw2 for "storage", "operation", and "stop", and "neck", "shoulder", "back", and "waist" buttons for "stretching the back" and massaging. Above, switches SW3゜~SW are selection type.
3 It has push-on type switches SW4, SW5 that change the kneading position from upper to lower, and push-on type switches sw6, sw that specify the kneading width, which is the pitch between both kneading wheels (4), from wide to narrow. And then massage it according to the procedure given? *Sui-Sochi SW8. to make the operation time longer than the set time when (4) is activated. It has a switch SW for moving to the next operation during one operation. In the figure, L1 is a power supply byte 0 that lights up in response to the VT source switch SW1 in the main body control section.
L2 is a light-emitting element for lighting, and the light-emitting element % that blinks during the period before moving to the specified operation and is always off L30 to L34
are light-emitting elements that light up corresponding to the switches SW3° to SW3W34, respectively, and L4 is a light-emitting element that indicates that the program is in operation.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5, the main body control section includes a control circuit A made up of a microcomputer, a memory circuit B that stores the treatment procedure that has been applied by -50 times, [-ta M and a double magnetizer SL1]. , Sb2 and the electromagnetic clutch SL, the △ drive circuit, the instruction circuit C1 that instructs these operation sequences, the up and down position of the kneading wheel (4) mentioned above, and the power supply circuit F. The massage wheel (4) is operated according to the input.

Next, to explain the overall operation, the power switch SW
1, the light emitting element L1 lights up. Next, when the switch SW2 in the operating device (6) is set to "operation", the massaging wheel (4) is sequentially operated based on the D-jiram stored in the memory circuit B. However, if any of the switches SW3° to SW34 is operated while this switch SW2 is in the "operation" state, the operation of the kneading wheel (4) is as follows. ~The operation specified by SW, 4 is performed, and zu0
Talam treatment will no longer be performed.

When you operate switch SW3゜, first press the kneading wheel (4).
Rotate the magnet (reed switch LS due to one scratch) during one rotation to maximize the protrusion step of the kneading wheel (4), and then raise or lower the kneading wheel (4) while keeping it in this state. Start. Massage along the spine #a
The outer ring (4) is rolled, and when the kneading wheel (4) reaches its upper limit of movement (OO address) and lower limit of movement (ON address), it automatically reverses its direction of movement. Continue to straighten your back. Switch SW, 1
When operated, the kneading wheel (4) is moved to the front position and then the kneading operation is started. When the switch SW3□ is operated, the foot-buckling operation is started at the shoulder position, and when the switch SW3, . The switches sw and SW function as a manual reversing switch during the back straightening operation, and as a kneading position adjustment switch ν during the kneading operation, and the switch SW6 and the switch sw functions as a switch for adjusting the width of both kneading wheels (4) (4) during back straightening and massaging operations. When the switch sw2 is set to "stop", it stops at that point, and when it is returned to "operation", the operation that was being executed up to that point continues. switch, SW
If 2 is set to "storage", the massaging wheel (4) is raised to the upper limit of movement, then the width of both massaging wheels (4) (4) is maximized, and then the massaging wheel (4) is moved at that position. Reed switch LS during this one rotation.

When turned on, the grinding wheel (4) is stopped in a state where the amount of twisting protrusion is at its minimum.

Although this pine serge machine performs various operations as described above, only the operation based on the `jD/) ram will be described in detail here. First, there is a pre-programmed treatment procedure stored in memory circuit B, which is a treatment pattern table.
)'s vertical movement range is from OO address to ON address, the width of massage wheel (4) (4) is similarly IA address from 10 to IN address, time is 50 seconds, next treatment 2 is sideburn and position is OA. The address and width are programmed to be IB addresses, and the time is 10 seconds. has been done. Then, the switch SW2 is set to "operation" and the switches SW3° to SW
3. is not operated, the control circuit A uses the discriminating circuit G to detect the input q-d from the position detection circuit E and the position data in the treatment data from the memory circuit B based on the treatment procedure sequentially read from the memory circuit B. After the massaging wheel (4) is moved to a predetermined position by comparison, the massaging wheel (4) starts the action written in the treatment button table and at the same time starts counting in the timer circuit T. be.

FIG. 6 shows the basic sequence of the ram treatment operation. If the switch SW2 is set to "operate", the control circuit A sets the button table address pointer to the treatment 1 position and takes in the data regarding treatment 1, and if the movement of the massager (4) is to straighten the back, then the massage wheel (4) is increased and the width between the massage wheels (4) (41) is set to a predetermined width. If the movement of the kneading wheel (4) is a kneading motion, move the kneading wheel (4) so that the position and width correspond to the specified address, then either kneading or kneading. The specified ■h operation is started at that position, and the timer circuit T is started by opening at the time of treatment.

In this way, the operation of the contents of treatment 1 written in the treatment-bang table is executed, and when the treatment time of Tsumugi 1 has elapsed, the control circuit A increments the batan table address pointer by 1 based on the time-up signal from the timer circuit T. Then, the contents of treatment 2 are loaded and executed, and the timer circuit T is set to the treatment time of treatment 2. If the contents of treatment 5 and treatment 4 are executed in sequence for the set time, and the final treatment n in the treatment button table is reached, as described above (
The same end code as when switch SW2 is set to "storage" is written in treatment n, and in order to instruct the massaging wheel (4) to move to the storage position and stop, the program treatment is executed in this storage position. It will be completed.

Now, if it is desired to lengthen the execution time of a certain treatment operation when such a program treatment is being executed, it is sufficient to press the switch SW8 set to "Longer". Jin's Cedar 1 Richi S
By turning on Ws, the control circuit A causes the timer circuit T to re-set the treatment time that has been set in advance and start counting again. The treatment time in this case is approximately 15 minutes if the treatment motion is stretching the back, and approximately 5 minutes if the treatment is massaging.
It is assumed that the treatment time, such as minutes, is considerably longer than the treatment time written in the treatment pattern table. When the user is done with the back stretching action for which the treatment time has been extended or the kneading action at a certain position, the user only has to operate the "next" switch SW. By this operation, control circuit A
In the same way as when the timer circuit T times out, the button table pointer is incremented by 1 and the timer circuit T is reset at the same time as moving to the next treatment. Therefore, you can receive a certain treatment for as long as you require. Note that if the switch SW8 is operated while moving from one treatment to the next treatment, the input to the switch SW8 is ignored or the operation returns to the previous treatment. The latter is more suitable for actual use. Alternatively, the switch SW8 and the switch SW may be used as one switch, and the control circuit A may perform processing such that if the switch is pressed once, it will be "long", and if it is pressed again, it will be "next j".

A 70-chart for another embodiment is shown in FIG. This corresponds to switch SW8 and switch S in the above embodiment.
In place of W, there is a 5-position switch SW,o that switches between "standard", "2x" and "1/2x", and when this switch 5W1o is set to "standard", When starting the treatment operation, the treatment time data written in the treatment button table is set as is in the timer circuit T, and when it is set to "double", the treatment time data is set to 2.
Set the multiplied value to the timer circuit T, and set the value 14 times the treatment time data to the timer circuit T.
It is set to . Therefore, if switch SW1° is operated in the middle of plastic hm therapy, the treatment time from the next treatment operation onward is the same as that of switch SW1. The time will be as specified. Of course, the timer circuit T also controls the treatment time when switches SW and o are operated.
You can also change it by resetting).

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, it is possible to easily obtain a highly effective pine surge through the ram treatment operation, and the user can adjust the time of the treatment operation according to the user's needs. Depending on the degree of stiffness in the affected area, pine surge can be obtained and the pine surge effect will be even higher.
