Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a foot vibration device for inducing sleep, more specifically, a bed,
A vibrating body is placed on the futon where the user's feet touch,
The present invention relates to a foot vibration device for inducing sleep that promotes sleep through vibrations whose pattern is based on a fluctuation waveform corresponding to the reciprocal of the vibration frequency and gradually decreasing vibrations.

1. Weight technology] In recent years, in a society that has become more complex, anxiety, dissatisfaction, anger,
Irritability increases psychological and mental stress, causing insomnia, etc., and it is necessary to take measures to quickly relieve or release stress without accumulating it. As one of the m-eye power methods, it is effective to apply specific stimuli such as vibration and heat to a comfortable level to living organisms. When this vibration stimulation does not vary over time, the living body generally exhibits an adaptation phenomenon, and in order to always provide a fresh sensation of stimulation, the stimulation parameters are modulated by irregular signals, and the amplitude level is gradually decreased. It has been found that vibration is effective.

[Object of the Invention] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to use a fluctuation waveform of 1/f, which is the reciprocal of the vibration frequency, as the basis of the pattern, and to gradually reduce the amplitude level. To provide a foot device for inducing sleep that can induce a comfortable sleep by applying vibration stimulation to the foot of a living body.

[Disclosure of the Invention] The present invention is a vibration device that changes the vibration frequency and amplitude of a vibrating body over time to variably control the vibration pattern, and the vibration amplitude gradually decreases over time and the power spectrum of the vibration changes. The present invention is characterized in that it includes a vibrating body that applies vibrations to the feet of a living body whose pattern is based on a waveform with fluctuations corresponding to the reciprocal of the vibration frequency.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to Examples.

(FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an embodiment of the present invention.) A foot vibrating device 1 for inducing sleep according to the present invention is placed on a bed 2 to stimulate the foot F of a living body M. The foot vibration device lt1 for inducing sleep transmits the vibrations of the vibrating tongue mechanism 3 to the diaphragm 4, and applies vibration to the foot of the living body through the cover 5. Configure.

The vibration mechanism 3 is controlled by the vibration drive section 6 with the following vibration pattern. In other words, the basic pattern is to gradually reduce the amplitude of the vibration of the moving body over time as shown in Figure tjS4, and to have a waveform with a fluctuation of 17f, which is the reciprocal of the vibration frequency f, as shown in Figure 3(a). The vibration mechanism 3 is controlled and driven by the vibration drive unit 6 so as to generate the vibration. FIG. 3(b) shows the power spectrum of the 1/f fluctuation waveform.

The vibration driving section 6 is composed of a random signal generating circuit, a fluctuation pattern generating filter for obtaining a fluctuation pattern through the random signal, and the like.

When the above-mentioned vibration is transmitted to the foot F of the user's living body M through the cover 5, the user receives a pleasant stimulus and the nerves are concentrated in the foot F, and the fluctuation of 1/r makes the living body M feel very comfortable. You will be put to sleep.

[Effect of the Invention J] The present invention applies vibrations to the feet of a living body based on a waveform pattern in which the amplitude of the vibrations gradually decreases over time and the power spectrum of the vibrations has fluctuations corresponding to the reciprocal of the vibration frequency. Equipped with a vibrating body, when you are unable to sleep due to various thoughts running through your head, the pleasant stimulation of the feet will concentrate the nerves in the feet, and the vibration itself is the reciprocal of the vibration frequency that is comfortable for the living body. Gradually decreasing vibration based on a certain 1/f fluctuation is applied, and an efficient sleep-inducing effect can be obtained.
