Abstract

The massager of the present invention is a massage that can massage the sole surface in a state where the foot is placed on the outer housing 1 placed on the bottom surface, and fixes the spherical protrusion 11 vibrating in the vertical direction to the upper portion of the flanger 26, Since the spring 30 pushes the flanger 26 upwards at all times, when the load is applied due to the weight of the foot, the solenoid 17 is magnetized to raise the spherical protrusion 11 upward, and the magnetization is intermittent. As a result, the flanger 26 continuously vibrates up and down.

In addition, the vibration driving means 16 including the solenoid 17 and the spring 30 has a configuration covered by the inner housing 31 made of elastic frames, and when the foot is placed on the foot placing portion, the flanger 26 is loaded by the load. ) Does not reach the upper limit position, so there is no impact sound during the rise, and the shock generated when the flanger 26 reaches the lower limit is absorbed by the spring 30, resulting in less noise and excellent massage effect. Can be harvested.

Description

Massager

The present invention relates to a massager having a spherical protrusion driven by an electromagnet, and more particularly, to a massager suitable for sole massage.

Conventionally, an electronically driven massager is known, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 3-182256 and 52-124795, but most of the known massagers are placed on the outer housing upper surface. An opening is formed in the portion, and the spherical protrusion on the opening has a structure fixed to the flanger vibrating up and down by the intermittent magnetization of the solenoid.

Therefore, the Japanese Laid-Open Patent No. 3-182256 massager is always forced downward by the spring and the flanger is raised by the magnetizing of the solenoid, so that the stroke of the flanger is located above the guide plate at the bottom thereof. It is determined by a stopper consisting of a rubber buffer at the bottom and a bottom.

Therefore, when the solenoid loses its magnetic force, the guide plate of the flanger touches the lower stopper, and at no load, the flanger touches the upper stopper by the magnetization of the solenoid.

Since the noise generated by the impact when the flanger touches the stopper as described above, in the case of a hand massager, the impact is absorbed by the elastic body formed on the clip or the hand holding the clip, but the noise may be somewhat reduced. In the case of the outer housing presses the space between the foot and the bottom surface is less shock-absorbing effect and at the same time the vibration is transmitted to the floor and the noise is greater.

In addition, the massager of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-182256 presses the flanger downward by a spring, and the flanger is lifted upward by the magnetization of the solenoid, so that the direction of the force applied by the spring and the magnetization of the solenoid The driving direction by is opposite to each other, and the pulling force of the flanger by the magnetization of the solenoid should be set large, and the solenoid of output larger than the actual output must be used. Therefore, the power consumption and the capacity of the solenoid become large, which causes a cost increase.

In addition, in the relationship between the place where the foot is placed on the upper side of the outer housing and the upper limit position of the flanger, the flanger does not touch the upper stopper while the foot is under the load, but the lower stopper does.

In addition, if the solenoid's magnetic force is cut off, the spring tension causes the flanger to move downward and the force of the flanger's contact with the lower stopper becomes stronger.

In addition, the massager described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 52-124795 has a solenoid unit including a flanger in the outer housing and is supported by a spring, so that the impact delivered to the outer case when the flanger reaches the upper and lower positions can be alleviated. There may be some quiet effect, but this is not enough.

As described above, in the sole massager of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-182256, the flanger forming the spherical protrusion is always pressed downward by a spring, and the flanger is raised by the magnetizing of the solenoid, so the flanger is at the upper or lower limit. There is a problem that the noise is increased by impact when contacting the position, and the masseur of Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 52-124795 has a defect that a sufficient sounding effect cannot be expected even if the solenoid unit is supported from the bottom with a spring in the outer housing.

The present invention has a spherical protrusion driven by an electromagnet to solve such a problem, and is particularly suitable for the sole massager, the object of the present invention is to reduce the noise and increase the massage effect.

To achieve the above object, the present invention according to claim 1 forms an outer housing having a pedestal at the bottom and an opening at the top thereof, and a spherical protrusion formed at the opening of the outer housing, and is embedded in the outer housing. It has a vibration driving means for vibrating the projection in the vertical direction, the vibration driving means is vibrating in the vertical direction and the spherical projection is provided on the upper end, and pushes the flanger upwards to the upper position at no load A pushing means having a modulus of elasticity up to and a solenoid for raising the flanger intermittently, forming a footing portion surrounding the opening on the upper surface of the outer housing, and spherical upper limit position of the flanger storog The protrusion protrudes above the foot, and the lower limit position is greater than the spherical protrusion. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention according to claim 2 of the present invention provides an outer housing having a pedestal at the bottom and an opening at the top thereof, and a spherical protrusion formed at the opening of the outer housing. And a vibration driving means which is built in the outer housing and vibrates the spherical protrusion in the vertical direction, the vibration driving means being capable of vibrating in the vertical direction and having a spherical protrusion formed on the upper end thereof, and pushing the flanger upward. Means and a solenoid for intermittently raising the flanger and means for pushing in an inner housing made of an elastic body supported in the outer housing and a vibration driving means including a solenoid, while simultaneously moving the flanger upward from the inner housing. It is characterized by protruding into.

Hereinafter, the structure, operation, and effect of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The massager according to claim 1 is used by placing the outer housing on the floor by a pedestal and placing the foot on the outer lower housing. The pushing means is moved downward by the weight of the foot, and as the flanger is raised intermittently by the driving of the solenoid, the spherical protrusion with the flanger vibrates up and down to massage the ground. However, at the upper limit of the flanger stroke, the spherical protrusion protrudes above the foot rest on the outer housing, and at the lower limit, the spherical protrusion protrudes below the foot rest. Once it is removed from the sole and then driven again to reach the sole, such a continuous repetitive movement can achieve a good massage effect. In addition, when the load is applied by the weight of the foot, the flange does not rise to the upper limit position at no load, so there is no noise generated by the impact when the flanger reaches the upper limit position. Also, if the solenoid's magnetic force is cut off, the flanger is lowered by the weight of the foot, but the lower side is opposite to the direction of the force applied by the pushing means, so even when the flanger reaches the lower limit, the impact is small and the noise is low. Occurs.

In addition, there is no noise when the flanger does not reach the lower limit position. If it is operated without placing the foot, there is no load due to the weight of the foot, and since the pushing means pushes the flanger upwards, the flanger is forced upward by the solenoid structure, but almost upwards. Since it does not move, no noise is generated.

According to the present invention of claim 2, the air mass of the sound generated by the vibration driving means is attenuated by the inner housing of the elastic body covering the vibration driving means during operation, and the vibration driving means is the outer housing by the inner housing. Since it is supported in the vibration driving means caused by the vibration driving means is absorbed in the inner housing, vibration propagation to the outer housing is attenuated, the noise generated during operation is greatly reduced.

Example

One embodiment of the massage of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an outer housing, and the outer housing 1 consists of a lower case 2 and an upper case 3 attached to the lower case 2, and a lower race 2 and a lower surface of the lower housing 2 There is a pedestal 6. On the other hand, on the upper surface of the upper case 3, a pair of left and right foot rest portions 7 are planetary, and stepped surfaces 8a and 8b lower than the foot rest portion 7 are formed at the left and right ends, respectively. . In addition, the opening portion 9 is formed in each of the foot placement portions 7, and a plurality of protrusions 10 are swelled upward in front of the opening portion 9. Spherical protrusions 11 are formed in both of the openings 9, and vibration driving means 16 for vibrating the spherical protrusions 11 in the vertical direction is incorporated in the outer housing 1. Referring to the configuration of the vibration driving means 16, 17 is a solenoid, and the solenoid 17 is housed in the solenoid prem 18 together with the fixing iron core, and the solenoid prem 18 is flanged. (19) is on the upper surface.

Moreover, the lower limit stopper 20 which consists of elastic bodies, such as elastomer resin or rubber | gum which covered the peripheral part of this flange 19, is attached. An annular convex portion 21 is formed at the center of the upper surface of the lower limit stopper 20.

The solenoid 17 penetrates the flanger 26 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. The flanger 26 projects upward through the convex portion 21 of the lower limit stopper 20, and the flanger 26 has a movable iron core 27 at the lower portion thereof, and a spherical protrusion at the upper end thereof. (11) is formed. In addition, the flange 28 is fixed to the lower end of the movable iron core 27, and the upper limit stopper 29 made of an elastomer such as an elastomer resin or rubber is covered by covering the periphery of the flange 28.

In addition, the flanger 26 is always pushed upwards by the spring 30 of the pushing means below the flange 28. The spring 30 has an elastic modulus that raises the flanger 26 to the upper limit position at no load. Thus, when the solenoid 17 is energized and magnetized, the force is applied in the direction in which the flanger 26 rises. When the solenoid 17 is disconnected and the magnetic force disappears, the force in the direction in which the flanger 26 rises is lost. At this time, when the foot is placed on the spherical protrusion 11, the spherical protrusion 11 is lowered to the position of the foot A, and when the solenoid 17 is magnetized, the spherical protrusion 11 is raised by the load of the foot. In addition, when the magnetic force of the solenoid 17 disappears, the spherical protrusion 11 is lowered by the reaction of the foot.

The vibration driving means 16 including the solenoid 17 and the spring 30 is in an inner housing 31 made of an elastomer such as elastomer resin or rubber, as shown in FIG. Is supported in the outer housing (1).

As shown in FIG. 5, the inner housing 31 includes a pair of inner and outer inner housing members 32 and 33, and the housing members 32 and 33 are respectively formed on a protruding engagement surface. 34 and the groove 35 are engaged with each other.

Therefore, the solenoid frame 18 is supported by being supported by the support ribs 36 formed on the inner circumferential surfaces of both inner housing members 32 and 33. In addition, the lower limit stopper 20 is inserted into and supported in the support grooves 37 formed in the upper portions of both the inner housing members 32 and 33, and is formed in the opening 38 formed at the center of the upper surface of the inner housing 31. The lower portion 21 of the lower limit stopper 20 is exposed.

The spring 30 is sandwiched between the bottom surface of the movable iron core 27 and the bottom surface of the inner housing 31. In addition, a jaw 41 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the inner housing 31 so that the four corners of the jaw 41 are integrally mounted in the lower case 2 of the outer housing 1 as shown in FIG. It is fixed to the boss 42 by the washer 43 and the screw 44. In this way, although the inner housing 31 is supported in the outer housing 1, both of them are contacted by the attaching boss 42, and the vent hole 45 is formed in the lower part of the inner housing 31. As shown in FIG.

As for the spherical protrusion 11, the spherical base 50 is fixed to the upper end of the flanger 26 by a screw 52. The spherical base 50 is formed at the center of the lower surface of the spherical base 51 in which the convex part 21 of the lower limit stopper 20 protrudes. The spherical base 50 is covered with an elastomer resin or rubber. It consists of a spherical cover 53 of the elastic body. The spherical cover 53 is engaged with the spherical base 51 by engaging the top portions 54 and 55 with each other.

An attachment 56 is detachably attached to the upper side of the spherical cover 53. The attachment 50 is the top portion 57 and the groove portion 58 is engaged with each other is hanging on the spherical cover 53, it is possible to give a massage change in use. In addition, between the upper surface of the spherical cover 53 and the periphery of the opening 9 of the outer housing 1, there is a capping film 59 made of elastomer or an elastomer such as rubber. Is fitted in the support groove 61 formed in the periphery of the base 60 of the outer peripheral part and the opening part 9 of the outer housing 1.

The surface A is placed on the base 60 of the capping film 59.

In FIG. 1, the upper limit position of the stroke of the flanger 26, that is, the position where the upper limit stopper 29 protrudes and touches the lower surface of the solenoid frame 18, is more than the surface A on which the spherical protrusion 11 rests. It is located at the position where it protrudes upward (upper position at no load (B)).

However, the amount of protrusion is set slightly larger than the standard amount of footprint when the foot is placed on the foot rest area 7, and the lower stroke position of the flanger 26, that is, the lower limit, as shown in FIG. The spherical protrusion 11 is immersed slightly below the surface A on which the spherical protrusion 11 protrudes from the position where the protrusion 51 of the spherical protrusion 11 protrudes on the recess 21 of the stopper 20 (lower limit). Location (C)).

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, the vibration level display unit 71, the timer display unit 72, the vibration level conversion switch 73, and the like are placed on the one side surface 8a of the outer housing 1 in parallel to the back side. have.

Further, on the other step surface 8b, the strength and weakness switching switch 74 and the power ON / OFF switching operation unit 75 are arranged in front and rear. In FIG. 9, the display portions 71 and 72 have a display element 77 on the circuit board 76, and the vibration level display portion 71 is displayed corresponding to the vibration period of the spherical projection 11. In FIG. The massager of the present invention is automatically stopped when a predetermined time elapses after the start of operation, but the timer display unit 72 displays the time until the automatic stop.

In addition, the vibration level switching switch 73 is composed of a ce iso form and the operating portion 79 is supported by the hinge shaft 78 in a sway in the left and right direction, the operation portion 79 of the ce iso form The bottom of is pressed by the leaf spring (80) attached to the circuit board 76 is always kept horizontal.

In addition, on the circuit board 76 located below both front and rear ends of the operation part 79 of the iso type, there are duct switches 81 and 82, and the front side of the operation part 79 of the iso type is lowered by this switch. The duct switch 81 of the mask front side is pressed, and the back duct switch 82 is pushed down when the back of the operation part 79 of the iso form is pushed down.

Also, the frequency at which the front doc switch 82 is pressed slows the intermittent magnetizing cycles of the solenoid 17, and the frequency at which the rear duct switch 82 is pressed speeds up the magnetizing cycle.

As shown in FIG. 10, the strength change switch 74 and the ON OFF switching operation unit 75 of the power supply are rocked by the left and right hinge shafts 87 and 88 on the circuit board 86, respectively. It is composed of supported iso-shaped operation portions 89 and 90 and slide switches 91 and 92 on the circuit board 86.

The operation unit 89, 90 of the ISO type has the interlocking piece 93, 94 facing down, and the slide switch 91, 92 has the switch 95 which moves back and forth, and ( 96).

The interlocking pieces 93 and 94 are tasted in the opener and opener 95 and 96 so as to interlock with the swing of the operation unit 89 and 90 in the form of ISO. 96 is moved back and forth so that the opening and closing of the slide switches 91 and 92 are switched.

The energization time of the solenoid 17 is long in the state where the rear side of the ISO-shaped operation part 89 of the strength and weakness switching switch 71 faces downward, so that the rising energy of the spherical protrusion 11 becomes large and the energization time in the state of which the front side faces downward. If shortened, the rising energy of the spherical protrusion 11 becomes small. In addition, the massager is activated when the rear side of the power supply ON OFF switching operation unit 75 is lowered and stops when the front side is lowered.

When explaining the operation of the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention as described above, the present massager puts the outer housing (1) on the bottom surface (F) so that the pedestal (6) touches the bottom surface (F), both sides of the outer housing (1) Place both feet on the foot placement area (7).

When the power supply ON OFF switching operation unit 75 is turned ON, the operation starts and the spherical protrusion 11 beats the sole of the foot for massage. Furthermore, by operating the vibration level switching switch 73, the vibrating cycle of the spherical protrusion 11 is varied. Can be adjusted. In addition, the strength of the massage by the spherical protrusion 11 can be adjusted in two stages by operating the strength change switch 74.

The massager starts and stops when a predetermined time elapses, but can be stopped at an arbitrary time by turning off the power ON OFF switching operation unit 75. When operating the operation sections 73, 74, and 75, these operation sections 73, 74, and 75 are stepped surfaces 8a, which are located at the left and right ends of the upper surface of the outer housing 1, ( 8b) and the front and rear of the operation unit 79, 89, 90 of the iso-type rocking to operate up and down, the operation is very simple and can be easily operated with the toes.

The spherical protrusion 11 is described in detail. When the foot is placed on the spherical protrusion 11, the spring 30 is lowered to some extent because of the weight of the foot. In this state, the solenoid is magnetized so that the flanger 26 rises in response to the load by the weight of the foot. When the magnetic force of the solenoid 17 is cut off, the flanger 26 moves downward from the load by the weight of the foot. Will descend.

By repeating the magnetization of the solenoid 17 and the element, the flanger 26 vibrates up and down, and the spherical protrusion 11 vibrates up and down together with the flanger 26.

More specifically, in the unloaded state, that is, in the no-load state, as shown in FIG. 1, the flanger 26 is raised by the spring 30 until the upper limit stopper 29 touches the solenoid frame 18. The spherical protrusion 11 rises to the height of B farther than the foot surface A, and the spherical protrusion 11 at the time of stopping is at that height.

Therefore, when the foot is placed, the stopper flanger 26 is lowered until the foot surface A and the spherical protrusion 11 are almost the same height. Here, when the solenoid 17 is magnetized, the spherical protrusion 11 rises upward and taps the sole of the sole. At this time, the load from the foot causes the flanger 26 to have an upper limit stopper 29 as shown in FIG. It does not rise until it reaches the solenoid frame 18, and the spherical protrusion 11 rises only at the height of lower D (the upper limit position at the time of load). However, the spherical protrusion 11 is raised upward from the foot surface (A).

Therefore, when the magnetic force of the slanoid 17 is cut off, as shown in FIG. 3 by the recoil of the foot, the flanger 26 is lowered to the point located below the surface A on which the spherical protrusion 11 rests. do. Once the spherical protrusions 11 are separated from the soles and the solenoids 17 are magnetized again, the spherical protrusions 11 are raised again to reach the soles of the soles, so that a good massage effect can be obtained.

If the lower limit position of the spherical protrusion 11 is equal to or higher than the foot surface A, the flanger 26 cannot operate sufficiently due to the load caused by the foot, and the solenoid 17 is locked. There is a fear that the spherical protrusion 11 will not give a satisfactory massage effect without giving sufficient impact to the sole surface.

As described above, the spherical protrusion 11 hits the sole, so that the flanger 26 does not rise to the upper limit position when the load is unloaded, and the upper limit stopper 29 does not collide with the solenoid frame 18. There is no noise, and when the magnetic force of the solenoid 17 is broken, when the flanger 26 descends due to the load by the weight of the foot, even if the spherical protrusion 11 contacts the lower limit stopper 20, the spring 30 Because the pusher 26 is pushed upward, the impact when the spherical protrusion 11 hits the lower limit stopper 20 is much smaller than the first time, so the noise generated by the impact is reduced. In addition, when the spherical protrusion 11 does not touch the lower limit stopper 20, the impact sound does not occur from the beginning.

In addition, when it is operated without releasing the foot, there is no downward load due to the weight, and the flanger 26, which is already at the upper limit position by pushing the spring 30 upward, pushes the flanger 26 to the solenoid 17. It does not move even if it is forced upward by the driving of). Therefore, even if noise occurs, it becomes very small.

In addition, since the inner housing 31 made of an elastic body covers the vibration driving means 16 made of the solenoid 17 and the spring 30, the noise generated by the vibration driving means 16 during operation is weakened.

In addition, since the vibration driving means 16 supports the outer housing 1 by the inner housing 31, the vibration and shock generated by the vibration driving means 16 are absorbed by the inner housing 31 and attached to the boss ( 42, the vibration propagation to the surface of the outer housing 1 is attenuated.

As described above, the massaging machine of the present invention can reduce the occurrence of noise during use. In addition, since the heat generated by the vibration driving means 16 is dissipated out of the inner housing 31 through the vent hole 45, even if the vicinity of the vibration driving means 16 is overheated even if it is covered by the inner housing 31. Cannot be.

Therefore, the flanger 26 is raised by the magnetization of the solenoid 17, and the flanger 26 is forced upward by the spring 30, so that even if the output of the solenoid 17 is small, the desired vibration is prevented. It is possible to obtain a low power consumption and to reduce the cost. In addition, this invention is not limited to the said Example, A various deformation | transformation is possible for it.

For example, in the above embodiment, the spring 30 for pushing it upward is formed on the lower side of the flanger 26, but the spring may be formed on the upper side of the flanger, and the pushing means is limited to the spring. It doesn't work. All you need to do is push the flanger up all the time.

Incidentally, in the above embodiment, the operation units 79, 89 and 90 in the form of ISO is used for the operation units 73, 74 and 75, but the operation unit may use push buttons. In addition, the structure other than that is not limited to the thing of the said Example.

According to the invention of claim 1, in the massage used on the sole surface and used for the sole massage, the vibration driving means for vibrating the spherical protrusion in the vertical direction is provided with the flanger and the flanger having the spherical protrusion formed in the upper half. A foot that surrounds the opening where the spherical surface protruding from the upper side of the outer housing consists of a pushing means having an elastic modulus for raising the flanger to the upper limit position and a solenoid for raising the flanger intermittently during no load. By forming a place to place, the upper limit position of the stroke stroke of the plunger so that the spherical projection protrudes higher than the foot release surface, and the lower limit position is immersed in the lower direction than the surface where the foot releases the foot, and the massage effect is increased. At the same time the flanger is pushed downwards by the weight of the foot It said abutment at a location, or to reduce the noise generated as a cushion sikyeojum even reach the lower limit position.

According to the invention of claim 2, the vibration driving means has a vibration driving means including a solenoid and a pushing means in an inner lower housing made of an elastic body supported in the outer housing. In addition, since the vibration propagation from the vibration driving means to the outer housing can be attenuated significantly in the generation of noise during use.
