During the first 10 minutes, a warming-up pattern is repeated for 15 seconds and air is discharged for 5 seconds to set an average air pressure of about 150 gf / cm ² for the next 25 minutes, and a holding pattern for 30 seconds. Repeatedly introducing air for 20 seconds and discharging air for 20 seconds to set an average air pressure of 120 to 130 gf / cm ² , and the rest of the time as a massage pattern, 1
The air introduction for 5 seconds and the air extraction for 10 seconds are repeated to set an average air pressure of about 100 gf / cm ² and the pressing operation is executed.

When the air bags 30L and 30R are inflated by the air supply in this way, the pressing force of the air pressure acts on the buttocks and lower limbs of the human body from the outer periphery, and corrects irregularities in the pelvis and skeleton of the lower limbs. In addition, the pressing force of the air bags 30L and 30R acts on the muscles to enhance blood circulation due to the massage effect, and to relieve muscle pain and stiffness.

During operation, if the air pressure A in the air bags 30L and 30R exceeds the limit value, the pressure sensor 56 detects this and the determination in ST15 becomes "YES", and the CPU 7
1 turns on the abnormality indicator lamp 65 (ST19), stops the operation of the two pumps 53, 53, and opens the solenoid valve 55 (ST20, 21). If the start button 58 is pressed during operation, the determination in ST16 is "YE
"S", and proceed to ST20 and ST21, where the pump 53,
The operation of 53 is stopped and the solenoid valve 55 is opened.

When the pressing operation of ST18 is continued for the set time and the timer 74 has timed out, the determination of ST17 becomes "YES", the process proceeds to ST20 and 21, the operation of the pumps 53 and 53 is stopped, and the solenoid valve 55 is opened. Is done. In next ST22, the power switch 67 is on standby for turning off. If the power switch 67 is turned off, the lamps including the power lamp 68 are turned off (ST23), and the series of operations is completed. To do.

FIG. 17 shows the flow of control by the control circuit 140 of the controller 50. It should be noted that steps for turning on and off each lamp are omitted in FIG. In FIG. 17, when the power switch 67 is turned on, the determination in ST1 is “YES”, and in the next ST2, it is determined whether or not the slave unit 100 is set in the slave unit installation section 69 of the controller 50. If it is set, the determination in ST2 is "YE
"S", unless the power switch 67 is turned off,
Charging is continuously performed on the child device 100 (ST3 to
5).

When charging is completed, the determination in ST3 is "YE
Then, in ST6, whether any one of the setting buttons 90 of the energization setting unit 91 has been pressed, and whether the time setting button 93 has been pressed in ST7. It is determined whether each has been removed.

If any of the setting buttons 9 of the energization setting section 91
When 0 is pressed and the energized portion and strength are set, the determination in ST6 becomes “YES”, the process proceeds to ST10, and the setting data is temporarily stored in the RAM 143, and then transmitted via the transmission unit 144. Is transmitted to the machine 100.

If the time setting button 93 is pressed and the operating time is set, the determination at ST7 becomes "YES" and the process proceeds to ST11, and the setting data is temporarily stored in the RAM 143.
Then, it is transmitted to the child device 100 via the transmission unit 144.

If the slave unit 100 is removed from the slave unit installation section 69, the determination in ST8 becomes "YES", and the power switch 67 is turned off in the next ST12 to complete a series of controls.

When the power supply switch 67 is turned off after the slave unit 100 is once detached from the slave unit installation section 69 after the completion of charging and returned to the slave unit installation section 69, ST
The judgment of 9 becomes "YES", and a series of control is completed.

FIG. 18 shows the control circuit section 1 of the slave unit 100.
The flow of control by 30 is shown. First, at the start of FIG. 18, when the clothing 80 is attached to a human body in the manner of wearing clothes, due to the elasticity of the clothing 80, the positive electrode sheet 24A and the negative electrode sheet 24B attached to the inner surface of the clothing 80 are Are pressed against and make equal contact.

In ST1 of FIG. 18, it is determined whether or not the slave unit 100 is set in the slave unit installation section 69 of the controller 50. If it is set, the determination in ST1 becomes "YES", and the controller 50 determines It waits to receive the setting data of (ST3). When the transmission unit 136 receives the setting data from the controller 50, if it is time data, the determinations in ST3 and ST4 are both “YES”, and the time data is stored in the RAM 133 (S
T5). If the energization data is related to the energized portion and strength, ST3 is "YES" and ST4 is "NO", and the energization data is stored in the RAM 133 (ST.
6).

If in standby state, socket 1 of handset 100
When the connector 85 of the second mounting member 2 is connected to 12, the determination in ST1 is “NO”, and the determination in ST2 is “YE.
Then, the operation waits for the pressing operation of the start button 103.
When the start button 103 is pressed, ST7 becomes "YES", the timer 135 starts measuring time, and the electric signal generating circuit 1
37 outputs a DC voltage pulse (ST8, 9).

This output pulse is applied with a set intensity between the positive electrode sheet 24A and the negative electrode sheet 24B at the set site, and electrical stimulation to the lymphatic system is continued for a set time. In this embodiment, the operation time is, for example, "40" by the time setting button 93 of the controller 50.
4 minutes, the DC voltage pulse is output at a frequency of 30 Hertz, and
The training pattern output at the frequency of Hertz is alternately repeated every 10 minutes.

Next, in ST10, the pause button 10
5 is pressed, ST11 determines whether the start button 103 is pressed, and ST12 determines whether the timer 135 has timed out. If the pause button 105 is pressed, ST10 returns “YES”. Therefore, the timer 135 measures the time and the electrode sheets 24A, 24
The energization of B is temporarily stopped (ST13, 14). When the temporary stop button 105 is continuously pressed, the timing operation and the energization are restarted (ST15 to 17).

If the start button 103 is pressed during energization, the determination in ST11 is "YES", and if the timer 135 is up, the determination in ST12 is "YES".
In any case, the time counting operation of the timer 135 and the energization of the electrode sheets 24A and 24B are stopped, and the series of operations is completed (ST18, 19).

As described above, according to the present invention, the operation of the physical stimulator and the electric stimulator is individually controlled by one controller, and the operating condition of each stimulator can be set individually. You can improve beauty and health more effectively by combining various stimuli and electrical stimulation. In addition, unlike the conventional case, it is not necessary to purchase both a device for physically stimulating the human body and a device for electrically stimulating the human body, which saves cost for the user, and the handling, storage, maintenance, You can reduce the number of management steps.

On the manufacturing side, since one controller that is shared by the physical stimulator and the electric stimulator may be manufactured, inventory control and maintenance management can be performed as compared with the case where a dedicated controller is manufactured for each device. The number of steps required can be reduced. Further, the controller has a first setting unit for setting the operating condition of the physical stimulation unit and a second setting unit for setting the operating condition of the electric stimulation unit, which are divided into regions, so that one setting unit is provided. If the configuration required only for the above is installed, there is also an effect that a dedicated device for acting a physical stimulus and a dedicated device for acting an electrical stimulus can be individually manufactured using the same controller.
