The seat-type massage machine 1 of the present embodiment is provided with a control unit (not shown) that causes the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 to cooperate when applying a massage operation to the user.

The control unit controls the seat massage mechanism 10 in such a manner as to receive a massage from a therapist (massage with two hands) to the first treatment unit of the user, and at the same time The treatment section controls the back massage mechanism 15 in such a manner as to receive a massage performed by another therapist (massage with both hands).

FIG. 2 schematically shows a series of cooperative actions (approaching actions) in the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 performed by the control unit.

FIG. 3 schematically shows a series of cooperative operations (separation operations) in the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 performed by the control unit.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a situation in which the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 follow (moves so that one catches up with the other).

In addition, the inclined posture of the backrest 3 shown in FIGS. 2 to 4 is not limited to the illustrated position. For example, the seat 2 and the backrest 3 may be flat. In addition, the seat rail 13 is a rear-down arrangement, but it may be arranged horizontally, and is not limited to the arrangement shown.

In this embodiment, the control unit is capable of controlling the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 (both mechanisms) to move them closer to each other, or keeping the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 while holding A control that moves side by side at a certain interval in one direction (almost the same direction).

First, a description will be given of a control in which the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 are coordinated so as to approach and separate.

The control portion is centered on the pivotally connected portion of the seat portion 2 and the back portion 3, so that the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 cooperate to be close to and separated from each other.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the control unit performs a cooperative operation of moving the seat massage mechanism 10 from the front side to the rear side with the seat 2 and the backrest 3 pivotally connected as a center. At the same time, the back massage mechanism 15 is moved from the upper side to the lower side.

When the seat massage mechanism 10 is located at the front end of the seat 2 and the back massage mechanism 15 is located at the upper end of the backrest 3 (position A in FIG. 2 ), the control unit drives the movement mechanism of the seat 2 to cause the seat The massage mechanism 10 moves rearward along the seat rail 13. At the same time, the control unit drives the moving mechanism of the backrest 3 to move the back massage mechanism 15 downward (obliquely downward and forward) along the back rail 18.

Then, when the seat massage mechanism 10 approaches the center of the seat 2 in the front-rear direction along the seat rail 13, the back massage mechanism 15 approaches the center of the backrest 3 in the up-down direction along the back rail 18 (the position of B in FIG. 2) ).

When the seat massage mechanism 10 moves to the rear of the seat 2 along the seat rail 13 and reaches the rear end (storage position) in this state, at the same timing as this, the back massage mechanism 15 moves along the back rail 18 moves below the backrest 3 (obliquely downward and forward) and reaches the lower end (the position of C in FIG. 2). After any one of the two massage mechanisms 10 and 15 reaches the terminal, the control unit stops the movement mechanism of the seat 2 and the movement mechanism of the backrest 3.

As such, when the seat massage mechanism 10 is located at the front end of the seat 2 and the back massage mechanism 15 is located at the upper end of the backrest 3, the control unit performs the pivoting of the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 toward the seat 2 and the backrest 3 Control of coordinated movements that are close to the connected parts.

In addition, on the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the control unit performs a separate cooperative operation of centering on the portion where the seat 2 and the backrest 3 are pivotally connected, so that the seat massage mechanism 10 is oriented from the rear side The front side moves while moving the back massage mechanism 15 from the lower side to the upper side.

When the seat massage mechanism 10 is located at the rear end (storage position) of the seat 2 and the back massage mechanism 15 is located at the lower end of the backrest 3 (position D in FIG. 3 ), the control unit drives the movement of the seat 2 Mechanism to move the seat massage mechanism 10 forward along the seat rail 13. At the same time as this, the control unit drives the moving mechanism of the backrest 3 to move the back massage mechanism 15 upward (obliquely upward and backward) along the back rail 18.

Then, when the seat massage mechanism 10 approaches the center of the seat 2 in the front-rear direction along the seat rail 13, the back massage mechanism 15 approaches the center of the backrest 3 in the up-down direction along the back rail 18 (the position of E in FIG. 3) ).

When the seat massage mechanism 10 moves forward of the seat 2 along the seat rail 13 and reaches the front end in this state, at the same time as this, the back massage mechanism 15 moves toward the backrest 3 along the back rail 18 It moves upward (obliquely upward and backward) and reaches the upper end (the position of F in FIG. 3 ). After any one of the two massage mechanisms 10 and 15 reaches the terminal, the control unit stops the movement mechanism of the seat 2 and the movement mechanism of the backrest 3.

In this way, when the seat massage mechanism 10 is located at the rear end of the seat 2 and the back massage mechanism 15 is located at the lower end of the backrest 3, the control unit performs to move the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 away from the seat 2 and the backrest 3 Control of coordinated movements that are separated from each other by pivoting the direction of the connected parts.

In addition, as mentioned above, the control unit may be provided so that the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 cooperate (follow up) in one direction (substantially the same direction) while maintaining a certain interval.

Specifically, for example, the control unit performs control such that the seat massage mechanism 10 is moved backward while the back massage mechanism 15 is moved upward (obliquely upward and backward) in cooperation. In addition, the control unit performs control to move the seat massage mechanism 10 forward while simultaneously moving the back massage mechanism 15 downward (obliquely downward to the front).

As shown in FIG. 4, when the seat massage mechanism 10 is located at the front end of the seat 2 and the back massage mechanism 15 is located at the lower end of the backrest 3 (position G in FIG. 4 ), the control unit drives the seat 2 The moving mechanism moves the seat massage mechanism 10 rearward along the seat rail 13. At the same time as this, the control unit drives the moving mechanism of the backrest 3 to move the back massage mechanism 15 upward (obliquely upward and backward) along the back rail 18.

Then, when the seat massage mechanism 10 approaches the center of the seat 2 in the front-rear direction along the seat rail 13, the back massage mechanism 15 approaches the center of the backrest 3 in the up-down direction along the back rail 18 (the position of H in FIG. 4) ).

When the seat massage mechanism 10 moves to the rear of the seat 2 along the seat rail 13 and reaches the rear end (storage position) in this state, at the same time, the back massage mechanism 15 moves toward the backrest 3 along the back rail 18 Moves upward (obliquely upward and backward) and reaches the upper end (the position of I in FIG. 4). After any one of the two massage mechanisms 10 and 15 reaches the terminal, the control unit stops the movement mechanism of the seat 2 and the movement mechanism of the backrest 3.

In addition, the control unit can cooperatively change the moving speed of the seat massage mechanism 10 and the moving speed of the back massage mechanism 15.

Specifically, the control unit performs control such that the time when the movement of the seat massage mechanism 10 starts and the time when the movement of the back massage mechanism 15 starts match. In addition, the control section performs control to stop the seat massage mechanism 10 in the movement direction along the seat rail 13 and the back massage mechanism 15 in the movement direction along the back rail 18. The points are consistent.

However, in many cases, in the seat type massage machine 1, there are cases where the device configuration of the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 are different or the lengths of the guide rails 13 and 18 are different. Therefore, for example, when the stop motion is performed at the time point when the seat massage mechanism 10 reaches the terminal, the back massage mechanism 15 stops moving at a position that does not reach the terminal.

Even with such a configuration, the massage effect for the user is sufficient, but it is preferable that the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 are started at the same time by the control unit and reach the terminals of the guide rails 13 and 18 at the same time Control its speed of movement.

For example, when the back rail 18 is longer than the seat rail 13, the back massage mechanism 15 moves at a speed faster than the movement speed of the seat massage mechanism 10. On the other hand, when the back rail 18 and the seat rail 13 are the same length, the back massage mechanism 15 and the seat massage mechanism 10 move at the same speed.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the pair of seat massage members 11 constituting the seat massage mechanism 10 are provided so that the left and right intervals can be changed. In addition, the pair of back massage members 16 constituting the back massage mechanism 15 are also provided so that the interval between left and right can be changed.

In this case, the control unit can cooperatively change the left-right interval of the pair of seat massage members 11 and the left-right interval of the pair of back massage members 16.

That is, the control unit performs a cooperative operation of making the width between the first treatment element 12 attached to the left seat massage member 11 and the first treatment element 12 attached to the right seat massage member 11, and A cooperative operation in which the width between the second treatment member 17 attached to the left back massage member 16 and the second treatment member 17 attached to the right back massage member 16 is changed to the same width (interval).

Specifically, when the left and right intervals are changed to the normal standard width, the control unit performs the right and left widths (intervals) of the pair of seat massage members 11 and the left and right widths (intervals) of the pair of back massage members 16. ) Change to a cooperative action of the same width (interval).

Similarly, when changing to a wider width, the control unit cooperatively changes the left and right widths of the massage members 11 and 16 to a wider width. In addition, when changing to a narrow width, the control unit cooperatively changes the left and right widths of the massage members 11 and 16 to a narrow width together.

That is, in addition to controlling the above-mentioned separation operation, the control unit can also perform a control to cooperatively change the interval between the pair of seat massage members 11 and the interval between the pair of back massage members 16 to the same interval.

In addition, the control unit can cooperatively change the driving speed of the pair of seat massage members 11 constituting the seat massage mechanism 10 and the driving speed of the pair of back massage members 16 constituting the back massage mechanism 15.

Here, the swing speed of each massage member 11, 16 will be described as an example.

The control unit can cooperatively change the swing speed of the pair of seat massage members 11 and the pair of back massage members 16 to the same swing speed, for example.

That is, the control unit makes the following change: the speed of swinging the first treatment member 12 attached to the seat massage member 11 and the speed of swinging the second treatment member 17 attached to the back massage member 16 are coordinated in a coordinated manner.

Specifically, when the swing speed is changed to a normal speed, the control unit makes the following change: the swing speed of the pair of seat massage members 11 and the swing speed of the pair of back massage members 16 are synchronized in a coordinated manner For the general speed.

Similarly, when the swing speed is changed to a faster speed, the control unit changes the swing speed of each massage member 11 and 16 in a coordinated manner so as to change to a relatively fast speed. In addition, when the swing speed is changed to a slow speed, the control unit changes the swing speed of each massage member 11 and 16 in a coordinated manner so as to have a slow speed.

That is, in addition to the control of the approaching separation operation, the control unit can also perform the following control: cooperatively enable the driving speed of the kneading, tapping, and grasping of the seat massage member 11 and the back massage member 16 The driving speeds of kneading, tapping, grasping, etc. are changed to the same driving speed (changing to driving at the same rhythm).

In addition, the massage operation performed by the seat massage mechanism 10 and the massage operation performed by the back massage mechanism 15 are controlled so as to become the same type of massage.

As described above, the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 cooperate to perform a close separation or follow-up action by performing cooperative operation control by the control unit, and kneading at the same rhythm, Tap, pinch, vibrate, etc., thereby giving the user the feeling of receiving a soothing and relaxing massage from two surgeons (massage with four hands) at the same time.

According to the present invention, the user can obtain, for example, a relaxing effect like receiving massage from two surgeons (massage with four hands) at the same time in an operation institution such as a beauty salon or SPA. In addition, it is possible to simultaneously receive two or more different treatment parts such as a shoulder, a spine, a waist, a lower part such as a buttock or a thigh, and receive treatments simultaneously.

In addition, the control unit can also perform operations as shown in the following modified examples 1 to 3.

[Modification 1]

The configuration in which the seat massage mechanism 10 can be moved in the front-rear direction, the back massage mechanism 15 can be moved in the up-down direction, and the second treatment member 17 of the back massage member 16 can be moved back and forth in the front-rear direction is taken as Modification 1, and according to FIG. 5 Be explained.

As shown in FIG. 5, in this case, the control unit moves, for example, the back massage mechanism 15 to a predetermined position (shoulder, etc.) of the user's back and causes the second treatment element 17 to be forward (toward the front side than the backrest 3 ) Protruding while moving the seat massage mechanism 10 toward the buttocks.

With such control by the control section, the seat massage mechanism 10 moves toward the buttocks to lift the buttocks, and the second treatment member 17 presses the prescribed treatment section, whereby the user is slightly massaged by the two massage mechanisms 10, 15 It is fixed, so that a strong push (finger pressure) massage can be performed.

In addition, at this time, when acupressure, kneading, tapping, etc. are performed while the movement of the back massage mechanism 15 is stopped, the massage feeling becomes stronger and effective. In addition, when the seat massage mechanism 10 is in the storage position (the rear end (curved portion) of the seat rail 13), when the seat massage mechanism 10 is exposed from the storage position toward the seat 2, it is possible to apply more Effective massage.

As shown in FIG. 7, in this case, for example, the control unit moves the footrest 6 to a predetermined position while moving the seat massage mechanism 10 to a predetermined position in the front-rear direction. Here, by inflating the airbag mechanism 20 of the foot massage mechanism 8 to form a state of grasping the foot, the foot inserted into the footrest 6 is grasped. While holding the foot, the footrest 6 is lowered.

By performing such linked control by the control unit, the footrest 6 is lowered, and the foot grasped by the footrest 6 is pressed against the seat 2, so the massage by the seat massage mechanism 10 can be strongly felt Somatosensory.

In addition, the order of the operations of the seat massage mechanism 10 and the footrest 6 may be an order other than the illustrated order. In addition, the operation of the seat massage mechanism 10 at this time is not limited to stopping, moving, and kneading.

With regard to the specific configurations of the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 that perform the operations described above, various configurations can be adopted.

Therefore, in the following, an example of the structure of the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 will be described.

In the seat-type massage machine 1 shown in Fig. 1, the seat massage mechanism 10 and the back massage mechanism 15 have substantially the same structure, but their moving directions are different. That is, the device itself of the seat massage mechanism 10 and the device itself of the back massage mechanism 15 have substantially the same configuration, but the guide rail (back rail 18) of the back massage mechanism 15 faces the up-down direction. The guide rail (seat rail 13) faces the front-rear direction, which differs greatly in this point.

Therefore, in this specification, as an example of the structure of the massage mechanism mounted in the seat-type massage machine 1, the back massage mechanism 15 mentioned below is illustrated. However, the technique of the present invention can also employ the back massage mechanism 15 having other configurations.

This case is also the same for the seat massage mechanism 10, and the specific structure of the seat massage mechanism 10 can adopt various structures, and the seat massage mechanism 10 of this embodiment has substantially the same structure as the back massage mechanism 15.

First, the back massage mechanism 15 has a pair of left and right back massage members 16 that apply a massage operation to the back (second treatment section) such as the shoulders, spine, and waist, and the base end of the back massage member 16 with the axis centered in the left-right direction The rotating shaft on the side, a driving portion that drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and a conversion portion that is provided on the base end side of the back massage member 16 and converts the rotating force of the rotating shaft into a massage operation. The rotating shaft, drive unit, conversion unit, and the like are housed in the base body 19.

The back massage member 16 is formed in an arm shape, and the second treatment members 17 are attached to both ends (front ends). A conversion part to be described later is provided at the central portion (base end) of the back massage member 16 in the longitudinal direction. In addition, the rotation shaft penetrates the conversion portion of the base end of the back massage member 16 in the left-right direction. The rotating shaft is arranged with the axis centered in the horizontal direction, and is rotatably supported by a pair of support members.

The drive unit drives the rotary shaft to rotate, and the conversion unit converts the rotation force of the rotary shaft into a massage operation to actuate the back massage member 16, thereby actuating the back massage mechanism 15. The drive unit has a drive motor that generates a rotational driving force, and a gear box that decelerates the rotational driving force to a predetermined speed and transmits it to the rotating shaft.

The conversion unit converts the rotation force of the rotation shaft into a massage action (swing motion) of the back massage member 16. The conversion parts are respectively provided on the base end sides of the pair of back massage members 16 and are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft penetrating the base end side.

The conversion portion includes a tilt boss portion that rotates integrally with the rotation shaft, a ring-shaped fitting portion that is provided on the base end side of the back massage member 16 and is externally fitted to the tilt boss portion, and restricts the back massage member 16 along with the rotation shaft The limiter that rotates together.

The inclined boss portion has a rotating shaft penetrating inside, and has a cam surface inclined to the rotating shaft on the outer peripheral surface. The inclined boss portion rotates obliquely with respect to the axis of the rotating shaft. In addition, the inclination of the inclined boss portion (cam surface) is formed such that, for example, the pair of left and right back massage members 16 are inclined relative to each other in a relatively reverse direction.

The ring-shaped fitting portion is formed on the base end side of the back massage member 16 and is externally fitted to the inclined boss portion in a relatively rotatable state. The back massage member 16 performs the swinging motion by the tilting rotation of the inclined boss portion fitted outside the ring-shaped fitting portion.

The restricting portion is provided in the annular fitting portion, and restricts the annular fitting portion from rotating together with the inclined boss portion. The restricting portion includes a restricting pin provided in the annular fitting portion, and a restricting groove provided in the base body 19 and allowing the restricting pin to be slidably fitted. The restricting pin is provided to protrude from the annular fitting portion toward the opposite side of the back massage member 16. The base body 19 facing the restriction pin is provided with a restriction groove elongated in the left-right direction. The restricting pin is slidably inserted into the restricting groove, and the restricting pin swings left and right in a substantially horizontal direction.

In addition, the basic device configuration of the back massage mechanism 15 described above is substantially the same as that described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-153733. In addition, as for the moving mechanism of the back massage mechanism 15, various mechanisms can be adopted, and therefore detailed description is omitted.

The back massage mechanism 15 moves in a vertical direction (inclination direction) along a pair of left and right back rails 18 arranged inside the backrest 3 (support frame 14).

The back rail 18 is a curved rail member that swells forward from a midway portion to a lower end in the up-down direction, and a rack gear and a rail groove are formed along the rail member along the rail. The rack gear and the guide rail groove are members facing the same direction. The frame gear is configured to mesh with a transmission device (pinion gear) provided on the base body 19 side of the back massage mechanism 15. In addition, the running gear is rotatably driven by the moving mechanism provided in the back massage mechanism 15. The guide rail groove is configured to fit the movable roller provided on the base body 19 side of the back massage mechanism 15.

That is, when the movable roller is embedded in a movable manner in the guide groove and the transmission device is engaged with the frame gear of the back rail 18, the back massage mechanism 15 is located along the back rail 18 when the transmission device is rotationally driven Move up and down (inclined direction).

The configuration of the back rail 18 is exemplified by a configuration in which a transmission device meshes with a carrier gear and a movable roller is movably fitted into a rail groove, but this is only an example, and other configurations may be adopted.

The basic structure of the seat massage mechanism 10 and the seat rail 13 is substantially the same as the structure of the back massage mechanism 15 and the back rail 18 described above. That is, it is the same as the case where the back massage mechanism 15 and the back rail 18 are provided in the seat 2, so detailed description is omitted.
