Thereby, when attachment of the two armrest parts 20 is not completed, the operation|movement of the massage machine 10 is prevented. Therefore, the safety of the massage machine 10 can be further improved.

Moreover, conventionally, when the armrest part 20 is not attached to the main body part 7 from a viewpoint of safety, a cover (cover) covers the whole main body part 7. As shown in FIG. The cover can also be omitted.

(second embodiment)

Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 . In the massage machine of the second embodiment, the method of preventing the operation of the massage machine when the attachment of the armrest is not completed is different from that of the first embodiment. The following description will focus on differences from the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 5 , a main body side contact 50R is provided on a surface of the cover 21 that is in contact with the right armrest 20 . As shown in FIG. 6 , the main body side contact 50R is connected to the control circuit 11 . Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5 , when two armrests 20 are attached to the main body 7 , an armrest side contact 51R is provided in a portion of the recess 25 corresponding to the main body side contact 50R. As shown in FIG. 6 , the armrest side contact 51R is connected to the operation unit 30 .

The structure of the left armrest part 20 and the vicinity of the main body part 7 to which this left armrest part 20 is attached is also the same structure as the right armrest part 20 mentioned above. That is, the main body side contact 50L is provided on the cover 21 corresponding to the left armrest 20 . As shown in FIG. 6 , the main body side contact 50L is connected to the control circuit 11 . In addition, an armrest-side contact 51L is provided in the recess 25 of the left armrest 20 . As shown in FIG. 6 , the armrest side contact 51L is connected to the power supply circuit 19 .

In the above structure, when the armrest 20 on the right side is not attached to the main body 7, the main body side contact 50R and the armrest side contact 51R are separated from each other, and the signal between the control circuit 11 and the operation unit 30 The line is broken. Therefore, the control circuit 11 cannot receive the operation signal from the operation unit 30, and thus cannot operate the massage machine according to the operation signal.

In addition, when the left armrest 20 is not attached to the main body 7, the main body side contact 50L and the armrest side contact 51L are separated from each other, and the signal line between the control circuit 11 and the power supply circuit 19 is disconnected. . Therefore, the control circuit 11 cannot receive electric power from the power supply circuit 19 to control the motors 16a, 17a and the treatment element driving unit 36, and thus cannot operate the massager.

When the right armrest 20 is attached to the main body 7 , the main body side contact 50R contacts the armrest side contact 51R, and the signal line, furthermore, the control circuit 11 and the operation unit 30 are in a conductive state. Thus, the control circuit 11 can receive an operation signal from the operation unit 30 .

When the left armrest 20 is attached to the main body 7 , the main body side contact 50L contacts the armrest side contact 51L, and the power line, and furthermore, the control circuit 11 and the power supply circuit 19 are in a conductive state. Thereby, the control circuit 11 can receive electric power from the power supply circuit 19 .

That is, the two armrests 20 are attached to the main body 7 , and the control circuit 11 can drive the motors 16 a , 17 a and the treatment element driving unit 36 based on the electric power from the power supply circuit 19 to perform a massage operation.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the micro switches 15R, 15L in the first embodiment are omitted.

According to the embodiment described above, in particular, the following effects can be exhibited.

(2) When the attachment of the armrest part 20 is not completed, the power line or the signal line is disconnected, and the operation of the massage machine 10 is prevented. In this structure, since it is unnecessary to provide the detection means which detects whether the two armrest parts 20 are attached, the massage machine can be comprised more simply and cheaply. In addition, the operation of the massage machine 10 is prevented by disconnecting the power line or the signal line, so that the massage machine 10 does not operate due to erroneous detection by the detection means or malfunction of the control circuit 11 . Therefore, the operation of the massage machine 10 can be prevented more reliably.

(third embodiment)

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 . In the massage machine of 3rd Embodiment, the arrangement|positioning form of the contact point provided in an armrest part and a cover differs from 2nd Embodiment. The following description will focus on differences from the second embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 7 , two body-side contacts 60R and 61R are provided on a surface of the cover 21 that is in contact with the right armrest 20 . As shown in FIG. 8 , the main body side contact 60R is connected to the control circuit 11 . The main body side contact 61R is connected to the operation unit 30 .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7 , two armrest side contacts 62R and 63R are provided on the surface of the recess 25 that is in contact with the cover 21 . As shown in FIG. 8 , the two armrest portion side contacts 62R and 63R are electrically connected inside the armrest portion 20 via a connection line L1 .

When the right armrest 20 is attached to the main body 7 , the main body side contact 60R and the armrest side contact 62R are in contact with each other, and the main body side contact 61R and the armrest side contact 63R are in contact with each other.

The structure of the left armrest part 20 and the vicinity of the main body part 7 to which this left armrest part 20 is attached is also the same structure as the right armrest part 20 mentioned above. That is, two main body portion side contacts 60L, 61L are provided on the cover 21 corresponding to the left armrest portion 20 . As shown in FIG. 8 , the main body side contact 60L is connected to the control circuit 11 . The main body side contact 61L is connected to the power supply circuit 19 . The two armrest side contacts 62L and 63L are connected via a connection line L2. Therefore, the signal line L1 includes a first portion provided in the main body portion 7 and a second portion provided in the armrest portion 20 . In addition, the electric power line L2 includes a first portion provided in the main body portion 7 and a second portion provided in the armrest portion 20 . The two main body side contacts 60L, 60R, 61L, 61R are respectively connected to both ends of the first part of the signal line L1 or the power line L2. The two armrest side contacts 62L, 62R, 63L, 63R are connected to the second portion of the signal line L1 or the power line L2.

In the above configuration, when the right armrest 20 is not attached to the main body 7 , as shown in FIG. 8 , there is no connection line L1 between the two main body side contacts 60R, 61R. At this time, the control circuit 11 and the operation unit 30 are in a non-conductive state. Therefore, the control circuit 11 cannot receive an operation signal from the operation unit 30 and operate the massage machine 10 according to the operation signal.

In addition, when the armrest part 20 on the left side is not attached to the main body part 7, as shown in FIG. 8, the connection line L2 does not exist between two main part side contacts 60L, 61L. At this time, the control circuit 11 and the power supply circuit 19 are in a non-conductive state. Therefore, the control circuit 11 cannot receive electric power from the power supply circuit 19, and drive each motor 16a, 17a and the treatment element drive part 36 based on this electric power, and can perform a massage operation|movement.

When the armrest portion 20 on the right side is attached to the main body portion 7, the two main body portion side contacts 60R, 61R are in a conductive state through the connection line L1. Thereby, the control circuit 11 and the operation unit 30 are brought into a conduction state. Therefore, the control circuit 11 is able to receive an operation signal from the operation unit 30 .

When the left armrest 20 is attached to the main body 7 , the two main body side contacts 60L, 61L are in a conductive state via the connection line L2 . As a result, the control circuit 11 and the power supply circuit 19 are brought into a conduction state.

That is, when the two armrests 20 are attached to the main body 7 , the control circuit 11 can drive the motors 16 a , 17 a and the treatment element drive unit 36 based on the electric power from the power supply circuit 19 to execute a massage operation.

According to the embodiment described above, in particular, the following effects can be exhibited.

(3) When the attachment of the armrest 20 is not completed, the signal line or the power line is disconnected, and the control circuit 11 and the operation unit 30 or the control circuit 11 and the power supply circuit 19 are in a non-conductive state. Thereby, massage machine 10 is prevented from operating. In the third embodiment, similarly to the second embodiment, the massage machine can be configured more simply, and the operation of the massage machine 10 can be more reliably prevented.

Furthermore, in the third embodiment, the armrest portion 20 can be configured independently. That is, unlike the second embodiment, the signal line extending from the armrest 20 to the operation unit 30 and the power line extending from the armrest 20 to the power supply circuit 19 can be omitted. Thereby, the design freedom of the massage machine 10 can be improved.
