DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
With reference to FIG. 1, the whole structure of the massage machine 10 of this embodiment is demonstrated. The width direction in the front view of the massage machine 10 is defined as a width direction X. Further, the height direction of the backrest 13 in the front view is defined as the vertical direction Y.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the leg portion 11 of the massage machine 10 is placed on a floor surface (not shown), and a seat portion 12 on which a user can sit is fixed to the upper portion of the leg portion 11. A backrest 13 for allowing the user to lean back is provided at the rear of the seat 12 so that the user can lean on the back, and an ottoman 14 on which the user's legs can be placed on the front of the seat 12. It can be tilted. An armrest 15 for placing the user's arm is provided from the backrest 13 to the front of both sides of the seat 12. Moreover, the controller 16 which can operate each part of the massage machine 10 by a user is provided in the side surface of the backrest part 13.

  The backrest part 13 is comprised by the backrest part main body 13a and the cover part 13b which covers the front surface of this backrest part main body 13a. The backrest main body 13a is provided with a guide rail (not shown) along the vertical direction Y of the backrest 13 in a main body case (not shown) made of a hard resin material whose front surface is opened. And the massage mechanism 20 (treatment means) is assembled | attached to the backrest part main body 13a so that it can move to the up-down direction Y along this guide rail. The massage mechanism 20 is provided with various drive motors (not shown). The massage mechanism 20 is moved up and down by the drive of these various drive motors, and a predetermined treatment operation by the pair of treatment devices 21 provided in the massage mechanism 20 is performed. To be done. By moving the massage mechanism 20 in the vertical direction Y, it is possible to perform massage on a wide range (a plurality of locations) from the user's shoulder to the waist.

  The pair of treatment devices 21 are arranged in parallel in the width direction X. Each treatment device 21 includes an arm part 22, a kneading ball 23 (treatment element) provided at the tip of the arm part 22, and a heater 24 for heating the kneading ball 23. As the heater 24, a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater or the like is used.

  The massage machine 10 includes a controller 16 that can be operated by a user. Moreover, the massage machine 10 is provided with the control part 17, as shown in FIG. The controller 16 outputs an operation signal based on the user's operation to the control unit 17, and the control unit 17 moves the massage mechanism 20 up and down based on the operation signal from the controller 16 and treats the treatment device 21. The operation and energization of the heater 24 are controlled. The heater 24 of each treatment device 21 is configured to generate heat when energized by the control unit 17, and the heat is transmitted to the kneading balls 23. In addition, the massage machine 10 includes a temperature sensor 18 (not shown in FIG. 1) such as a thermistor for measuring the temperature of the treatment site of the body treated by the kneading balls 23 (in this embodiment, the temperature T of the kneading balls 23). ing. A measurement signal from the temperature sensor 18 is output to the control unit 17, and the control unit 17 controls energization to the heater 24 based on the measurement signal.

Next, the effect | action of the massage mechanism 20 of this embodiment is demonstrated.
When the controller 16 is operated and an operation signal is output to the control unit 17, the control unit 17 operates the massage mechanism 20 to cause the treatment device 21 to perform a treatment operation. Further, the control unit 17 supplies current to the heater 24 and generates heat in the heater 24. At this time, the control unit 17 controls the energization of the heater 24 so that the temperature of the heat that the heater 24 gives to the treatment site (in this embodiment, the temperature T of the kneading balls 23) fluctuates.

  First, as shown in FIG. 3, the control unit 17 causes the heater 24 to generate heat so that the change rate V of the temperature T becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value. The change rate V of the temperature T is preferably 6 ° C./min or more. As a result, the temperature increase range (warmth threshold) required to feel warm becomes small, so that the heat of the kneading balls 23 can be more easily felt. At this time, the value of the current flowing through the heater 24 is constant.

  After heating the heater 24 for a while, when the temperature T measured by the temperature sensor 18 reaches a predetermined first threshold Ta, the control unit 17 turns off the energization of the heater 24. Then, after the temperature T slightly exceeds the first threshold Ta, the temperature T decreases due to heat dissipation. Note that the rate of change when the temperature T decreases is lower than the rate of change V when it rises.

  Thereafter, when the temperature T falls below the second threshold value Tb, the control unit 17 turns on the energization of the heater 24. Then, the temperature T rises due to the heating of the heater 24 after being slightly below the second threshold value Tb. At this time, the controller 17 energizes the heater 24 with a constant current value so that the change rate V of the temperature T is 6 ° C./min or more as in the above heating. By repeatedly performing the above control, the temperature T is made to fluctuate (the temperature T repeatedly rises and falls). Since the human temperature sensation is more sensitive to dynamic temperature changes than static temperature changes (constant temperature), the user feels the warmth of the kneading balls 23 by making the temperature T fluctuate. It has become easier.

  In the present embodiment, the first threshold value Ta is set higher than the unrelated upper limit value Sa, and the second threshold value Tb is set lower than the unrelated lower limit value Sb. The indifferent zone is a temperature range in which complete adaptation to temperature occurs in the skin in terms of physiology.In other words, in this temperature zone, the human body fully adapts to temperature, so It is the temperature range that can be difficult to feel. On the other hand, the temperature range other than the unrelated zone is less likely to cause temperature adaptation of the skin, and can be said to be a temperature range in which the human body does not feel the temperature due to temperature adaptation. In the present embodiment, for example, the lower limit value Sb of the indifferent zone is 30 ° C., and the upper limit value Sa is 36 ° C. Note that the upper limit value Sa and the lower limit value Sb of the unrelated band differ depending on the skin site and the like.

  As described above, since the first threshold value Ta is set higher than the upper limit value Sa of the unrelated band and the second threshold value Tb is set lower than the lower limit value Sb of the unrelated band, the upper limit value of the fluctuation of the temperature T is the unrelated band. The lower limit value of the fluctuation of the temperature T is lower than the lower limit value Sb of the unrelated band. For this reason, in the vicinity of the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the change (fluctuation) of the temperature T, the temperature is out of the indifferent zone, so that the change in the temperature T of the kneading balls 23 can be felt more reliably. In addition, as described above, the temperature threshold is lowered by setting the change rate V of the temperature T to 6 ° C./min or more, and thus it is easier to feel the heat of the kneading balls 23.

  In addition, the controller 16 includes a temperature adjustment button (not shown) and a heat button for turning the heater 24 on and off. The controller 16 outputs a temperature adjustment signal (operation signal) to the control unit 17 based on the operation of the temperature adjustment button, and the control unit 17 increases or decreases the first threshold Ta and the second threshold Tb based on the temperature adjustment signal. As a result, the fluctuation width (amplitude) of temperature T and the median value of fluctuations change. The control unit 17 may increase or decrease the change rate V of the temperature T based on the temperature adjustment signal.

  Further, when the heat button is pressed while the heater 24 is operating (the above-described fluctuation control state), the control unit 17 maintains the energization of the heater 24 in the off state. That is, the operation of the heater 24 is stopped. On the contrary, when the heat button is pressed while the heater 24 is not operating, the control unit 17 starts the fluctuation control of the heater 24.

  Moreover, the control part 17 moves the massage mechanism 20 to the up-down direction Y, and treats a shoulder, a back, and a waist. At this time, the control part 17 changes the temperature setting of the heater 24 according to the treatment site | part which the massage mechanism 20 treats. For example, since the temperature sensation of the shoulder is relatively dull, the temperature setting of the heater 24 is increased when the massage mechanism 20 treats the shoulder. At this time, the control unit 17 increases the first threshold value Ta and the second threshold value Tb (that is, increases the average value of the fluctuation of the temperature T), increases the change speed V at the time of increase, and increases the fluctuation width of the temperature T. At least one of the control is performed. Thereby, a thermal effect can be suitably given according to the temperature sensation of the treatment site.

  In addition, when the massage mechanism 20 performs a course operation for treating the shoulder, back, and waist as a whole, the treatment site is frequently changed, so that the heat of the kneading balls 23 is not easily transmitted to the treatment site. Therefore, as in this embodiment, by controlling the fluctuation of the temperature T of the kneading balls 23, the effect of making the user feel the heat of the kneading balls 23 more easily becomes more prominent.

Next, characteristic effects of the present embodiment will be described.
(1) The control part 17 performs control which gives fluctuation to the temperature of the heat which the heater 24 gives (temperature T of the kneading balls 23) so that the user feels a temperature change. Since the temperature sensation of the human body is more sensitive to dynamic temperature changes than static temperature changes (constant temperature), the user feels the warmth of the kneading balls 23 by making the temperature T fluctuate. It is possible to make it easier.

  (2) The controller 17 controls the energization of the heater 24 so that the upper limit value of the fluctuation of the temperature T is higher than the unrelated band and the lower limit value of the fluctuation of the temperature T is lower than the unrelated band. As a result, the temperature T changes (fluctuation) near the upper limit value and the lower limit value, so that the temperature is out of the intangible range, so that the change in the temperature T of the kneading balls 23 can be felt more reliably.

  (3) The control unit 17 causes the change rate V when the temperature T rises due to the heating of the heater 24 to be equal to or higher than a value (6 ° C./min in the present embodiment) necessary to reduce the temperature threshold. Control. As a result, the temperature increase range (warmth threshold) required to feel warm becomes small, so that the heat of the kneading balls 23 can be more easily felt. In addition, it is more effective if the change rate V of the temperature T is 6 ° C./min or more in an indifferent zone where it is difficult to feel the temperature change.

  (4) A controller 16 is provided that outputs a temperature adjustment signal (operation signal) to the control unit 17 based on a user operation. Then, the controller 17 changes the temperature setting of the heater 24 (in this embodiment, the amplitude of the temperature T) based on the temperature adjustment signal. As a result, it becomes possible to cope with differences in user preferences and individual differences in temperature sensation.

In addition, you may change embodiment of this invention as follows.
In the above embodiment, the change rate V of the temperature T at the time of rising is set to 6 ° C./min or more, but the minimum value of the change rate V is set to 6 ° C./in consideration of the user wearing clothes. A value higher than the minute is desirable.

-In above-mentioned embodiment, although the temperature sensor 18 measured the temperature T of the kneading ball 23, you may comprise so that the temperature of a user's body (treatment site | part) other than this may be measured, for example.
The control of the heater 24 for changing the temperature T by the control unit 17 is not limited to the aspect of the above embodiment. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the control unit 17 changes the threshold value Tg (target value) in a sine wave shape over time. When the temperature T is equal to or lower than the threshold Tg, the energization to the heater 24 is turned on, and when the temperature T exceeds the threshold Tg, the energization to the heater 24 is turned off. Such a control can also cause the temperature T to fluctuate. It should be noted that the rate of change of the threshold value Tg at the time of increase is desirably 6 ° C./min or more, as in the above embodiment. Further, if the change rate of the threshold value Tg at the time of descent is 6 ° C./min or more, the temperature T rises and falls sharply, and the effect of the thermotherapy can be improved by stimulating the rise and fall of the temperature T. It becomes possible. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the threshold value Tg is changed to a sine wave shape, but may be changed to, for example, a triangular wave shape.

  When the threshold value Tg is set to a constant value in the example shown in FIG. 4, or when the first threshold value Ta and the second threshold value Tb are set to close values in the above embodiment, the temperature T is aimed to be fixed. This control is different from the control that positively fluctuates the temperature T. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain the same effect as in this embodiment or the example shown in FIG. 4 that makes the user easily feel the warmth of the kneading balls 23 by the fluctuation of the temperature T.

  Further, the temperature T may be fluctuated by changing the value of the current supplied to the heater 24. For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 5, the control unit 17 changes the temperature T into a sine wave by increasing or decreasing the current value supplied to the heater 24 in a sine wave shape over time. As a result, the temperature T changes in a sine wave shape over time. In this control as well, it is desirable that the rate of change of the temperature T during the rise is 6 ° C./min or more. Also, if the rate of change of temperature T during the descent is 6 ° C./min or more, the temperature T will rise and fall sharply, and the effect of thermotherapy can be improved by stimulating the rise and fall of the temperature T. It becomes possible. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the current value supplied to the heater 24 is increased or decreased in a sine wave shape. However, for example, the current value may be increased or decreased in a triangular wave shape.

  Further, in the example shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the temperature setting of the heater 24 may be changed by the operation of the controller 16. For example, the control unit 17 may change the median value Tc of the fluctuation of the temperature T and the amplitude of the fluctuation based on the operation signal output by the operation of the controller 16. According to this, the effect similar to the effect (4) of the said embodiment can be acquired.

  -In the example shown in the said embodiment and FIG.4 and FIG.5, the control part 17 may control the heater 24 so that it may interlock | cooperate with the treatment operation | movement of the treatment apparatus 21 (the kneading ball 23). For example, a case will be described in which the kneading balls 23 are repeatedly pressed into the user's body and the retraction operation pulled from the body. In this case, the control unit 17 increases the temperature T of the kneading balls 23 by the heater 24 when the kneading balls 23 are pushed. Thereafter, when the kneading balls 23 are switched from the pushing operation to the retracting operation, the control unit 17 turns off the energization of the heater 24. Then, when the kneading balls 23 perform the retreating operation, the heater 24 is kept in a non-energized state. After that, when the kneading balls 23 are switched from the retreating operation to the pushing operation, the control unit 17 starts energizing the heater 24. . In the state where the kneading balls 23 are pressed against the body, heat is easily transmitted from the kneading balls 23 to the body. By heating in this state, the user can feel the warmth of the kneading balls 23 efficiently in a short time. Is possible.

  Conversely, the temperature T of the kneading balls 23 may be controlled to be raised by the heater 24 when the kneading balls 23 are retracted. During the retraction operation of the kneading balls 23, heat is not easily transmitted from the kneading balls 23 to the body. Therefore, the temperature can be reduced by heating during the retraction operation.

  Further, the heater 24 is continuously heated during one reciprocation of the pushing operation and the retreating operation, and the heater 24 is continuously turned off during one reciprocation of the pushing operation and the retreating operation immediately after that. May be.

  -Although not mentioned in particular in the said embodiment, the installation location of the heater 24 may be the inside of the kneading ball 23, may be between the kneading ball 23 and the arm part 22, and the inside of the arm part 22 It is good. In short, as long as the heat of the heater 24 is transmitted to the kneading balls 23, the installation location may be changed as appropriate.

  In the above embodiment, only one heater 24 is provided. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and a plurality of heaters 24 may be provided. In addition, a second heat application unit different from the heat application unit (heater 24) that performs fluctuation control as in the above embodiment is provided so that the temperature of the heat provided by the second heat application unit is constant. You may control.

  For example, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the treatment device 21 includes a sheet-like first heater 41 (heat application unit) and a sheet-like second heater 42 (second heat application unit). In the figure, the first and second heaters 41 and 42 are overlapped in the width direction, and the first heater 41 is disposed on the inner side and the second heater 42 is disposed on the outer side. However, the positional relationship is limited to this. The first heater 41 and the second heater 42 may be arranged in parallel in a direction orthogonal to the width direction.

  The control unit 17 controls the first heater 41 and the second heater 42 individually. The control unit 17 performs the same fluctuation control on the first heater 41 as the heater 24 of the above embodiment. The second heater 42 is controlled so that the heat generated by the second heater 42 is constant. At this time, the target value of the temperature of the second heater 42 is set, for example, in a range that is greater than or equal to the upper limit value Sa of the unrelated and less than the upper limit value of the fluctuation of the temperature T. According to such a configuration, it is possible to obtain an effect of preventing habituation to the temperature by controlling the fluctuation of the first heater 41 while warming to the deep part of the body by the second heater 42 at a constant temperature. The target value of the temperature of the second heater 42 is preferably set higher than the average value of the temperatures T.

  Moreover, the modification of the structure which provided the 2nd heater (2nd heat provision means) is shown in FIG. In the configuration shown in the figure, the treatment device 21 has a first kneading ball 23a and a second kneading ball 23b provided at both ends of the arm portion 22, respectively. In addition, the treatment device 21 includes a first heater 51 for warming the first massaging balls 23a and a second heater 52 for warming the second massaging balls 23b. The control unit 17 performs the same fluctuation control as the heater 24 of the above embodiment on the first heater 51. The second heater 52 is controlled so that the heat generated by the second heater 42 is constant. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to obtain an effect of preventing habituation to the temperature by controlling the fluctuation of the first heater 51 while the second heater 52 warms the body deeply at a constant temperature.

  In the above embodiment, the perspiration sensor 30 (see FIG. 2) for measuring the perspiration amount of the user is provided, and the control unit 17 may change the temperature setting of the heater 24 based on the measurement signal from the perspiration sensor 30. . The perspiration sensor 30 is provided, for example, on the armrest portion 15 and measures the perspiration amount of the palm. The controller 17 lowers the temperature setting of the heater 24 when the amount of sweat measured by the sweat sensor 30 reaches a predetermined upper threshold. At this time, the control unit 17 lowers the first threshold Ta and the second threshold Tb (lowers the average value of the fluctuation of the temperature T), lowers the change rate V when rising, and reduces the fluctuation width of the temperature T. Perform at least one of the controls. At this time, the control unit 17 may turn off the energization of the heater 24. Conversely, when the amount of sweat measured by the sweat sensor 30 falls below a predetermined lower threshold, the temperature setting of the heater 24 is increased. According to such control, a thermal effect can be suitably given according to a user's state.

In the above embodiment, the heating time (energization duration time) of the heater 24 may be controlled to change according to the treatment site treated by the massage mechanism 20.
In the above embodiment, when the fluctuation on / off button is provided in the controller 16 and the fluctuation on / off button is pressed while the heater 24 is driven by the fluctuation control, the control unit 17 Control may be switched to constant value control. In this constant value control, the control unit 17 drives the heater 24 so that the temperature T becomes a predetermined target temperature. In addition, when the fluctuation on / off button is pressed while the heater 24 is driven with the constant value control, the control unit 17 switches the control of the heater 24 to the fluctuation control.

  In the above embodiment, a temperature sensor that measures the surface temperature of the user's body (treatment site) is provided, and the controller 17 controls the heater 24 based on the surface temperature of the user's body that the temperature sensor measures. May be performed. In this case, it is desirable to control so that the upper limit value of the fluctuation of the temperature T is higher than the surface temperature of the user's body and the lower limit value of the fluctuation of the temperature T is lower than the surface temperature of the user's body.

  In the above-described embodiment, the temperature of heat applied to the treatment site by the heater 24 is fluctuated by the energization control to the heater 24, but the present invention is not particularly limited to this. For example, the heater 24 may be provided separately from the massage mechanism 20, and the distance between the heater 24 and the user's body may be varied to vary the temperature of heat applied to the treatment site by the heater 24. In addition, the distance between the heater 24 and the user's body can be changed by moving (lifting) the user's body by an air bag or the like instead of moving the heater 24 side. Fluctuation may be given to the temperature of the heat given to.

  -In above-mentioned embodiment, although the heat provision means was comprised with the heater 24 provided in the massage mechanism 20, it is not specifically limited to this. For example, it is good also as a structure which sends the heat | fever of the heat source provided in the seat part 12 to a treatment site | part with a ventilation fan etc., and heats a treatment site | part with the warm air.

  In the above-described embodiment, the present invention is embodied in the configuration in which heat is applied to the treatment site of the massage mechanism 20. However, for example, an airbag for treating the user's foot is provided, and the treatment site of the airbag is provided. You may embody this invention in the structure which provides heat | fever.

In the example shown in FIG. 8, the bed type massage machine 110 includes the treatment device 21 having a shape (see FIG. 7) having two kneading balls 23 a and 23 b.
