JP 2000-237344 A

このようなエアマッサージ装置は、巻き付けバンド、空気袋を備え、空気袋にはエアマッサージ装置本体の給排気系が接続されている。給排気系としては、通常、加圧ポンプと排気弁が備わっており、排気弁を閉じて加圧ポンプにより加圧を行い、排気弁を開くことで空気袋内のエアを排気するようになっている。   Such an air massage device includes a wrapping band and an air bag, and an air supply / exhaust system of the air massage device main body is connected to the air bag. The supply / exhaust system is usually equipped with a pressurization pump and an exhaust valve. The exhaust valve is closed and pressurized by the pressurization pump, and the air in the air bag is exhausted by opening the exhaust valve. ing.

従来、この種のエアマッサージ装置では加圧値を一定に保ちながら、所定幅で加圧と減圧を繰り返し行い、所定回数の加圧と減圧を繰り返したら、圧力を完全に大気圧まで解放し、これを１サイクルとして、サイクル動作を繰り返し行うものがある。しかしながら、マッサージ動作中において、むくみなどが改善されたか否か目視により、容易に確認できるものではなかった。   Conventionally, in this type of air massage device, while maintaining the pressure value constant, pressurization and depressurization are repeated at a predetermined width, and after repeating a predetermined number of pressurizations and depressurizations, the pressure is completely released to atmospheric pressure, There is one in which the cycle operation is repeated with this as one cycle. However, during the massage operation, it has not been easy to visually confirm whether swelling or the like has been improved.

本発明は、上記事情を鑑みてなされたもので、使用者がマッサージ中に容易にマッサージ効果を視認できる携帯型エアマッサージ装置を提供することを目的とする。また、より効果の高いマッサージモード（加圧／減圧サイクル，加圧／減圧パターン等）を容易に選択できる携帯型エアマッサージ装置を提供することを目的とする。   This invention is made | formed in view of the said situation, and an object of this invention is to provide the portable air massage apparatus with which a user can visually recognize the massage effect easily during a massage.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明の携帯型エアマッサージ装置は、空気袋に対し、加圧設定値までの加圧と所定の下げ幅での減圧を短い周期で複数回繰り返すことにより、身体組織の適所に対し圧迫と解放を交互に与える携帯型エアマッサージ装置であって、エアマッサージの効果を確認するための視認手段を設けたことを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, the portable air massage device of the present invention repeats pressurization up to a pressurization set value and depressurization with a predetermined lowering width a plurality of times in a short cycle with respect to the air bag. A portable air massage apparatus that alternately applies compression and release to an appropriate position of a tissue, and is characterized by providing visual means for confirming the effect of air massage.

また、加圧設定値及び／または前記解放圧は、使用者により任意に設定／または予め設定された値であることを特徴とする。また、加圧設定値を１サイクルごとに徐々に上昇させ、加圧設定値が上限値に到達した段階で、最初の加圧設定値に戻して、再び加圧設定値を１サイクルごとに徐々に上昇させ、以降、これを繰り返すことを特徴とする。また、加圧設定値を１サイクルごとに徐々に上昇させ、加圧設定値が上限値に到達した段階で、加圧設定値を１サイクルごとに徐々に下降させ、最初の加圧設定値に到達するまでの行程をパターン周期として、以降、このパターン周期を繰り返すことを特徴とする。また、１サイクル終了後の解放圧を所定の待機時間だけ維持した後、次のサイクルに移行することを特徴とする。また、各サイクルにおける加圧から減圧に移行する点、または、減圧から加圧に移行する点の少なくともいずれかに、定圧保持区間を設けたことを特徴とする。また、各サイクル終了後の解放圧を、大気圧より高い前記空気袋の加圧変位点付近の値とすることを特徴とする。また、１回毎または複数回ごとに加圧値を変更することを特徴とする。   The pressurization set value and / or the release pressure is a value arbitrarily set / or preset by a user. Further, the pressure setting value is gradually increased every cycle, and when the pressure setting value reaches the upper limit value, the pressure setting value is returned to the first pressure setting value, and the pressure setting value is gradually increased again every cycle. It is characterized by repeating this process thereafter. In addition, the pressure setting value is gradually increased for each cycle, and when the pressure setting value reaches the upper limit value, the pressure setting value is gradually decreased for each cycle to obtain the first pressure setting value. This process is characterized by repeating the pattern period from the process until reaching the pattern period. Further, the release pressure after the end of one cycle is maintained for a predetermined waiting time, and then the process proceeds to the next cycle. In addition, a constant pressure holding section is provided at at least one of the point where the pressure is changed from the pressure reduction to the pressure reduction and the point where the pressure reduction is changed. Further, the release pressure after the end of each cycle is set to a value near the pressurization displacement point of the air bag higher than the atmospheric pressure. The pressurization value is changed every time or every plural times.

＜使用についての説明＞
この空気袋４０を使用したエアマッサージ装置１０で、例えば、使用者の下肢をマッサージする場合を例として説明する。図１に示すように、ふくらはぎの裏側から樹脂カバー１０２ａや空気袋４０のある方を内側にしてバンド１０２ａをふくらはぎにあてがい、ベルト１０１を引き伸ばしてふくらはぎに巻きつけ、留め具１０１ａに設けられた係合部（係合突起部）１０１ｃをバンド１０２ａに設けられた被係合部（係合凹部または係合孔部）１０１ｂに係合させる。この状態で電源スイッチ５９を操作することにより、初期セルフチェックを行なった後、マッサージ動作がスタートする。 <Description of use>
The case where the lower limb of a user is massaged with the air massage apparatus 10 using the air bag 40 will be described as an example. As shown in FIG. 1, the band 102a is applied to the calf from the back side of the calf with the resin cover 102a or the air bag 40 inside, and the belt 101 is stretched and wound around the calf. The joint portion (engagement protrusion) 101c is engaged with an engaged portion (engagement recess or engagement hole) 101b provided on the band 102a. By operating the power switch 59 in this state, the massage operation starts after performing the initial self-check.

次に制御部（ＣＰＵ）５５によって実施される本発明の各実施形態のエア圧制御方法について説明する。   Next, the air pressure control method of each embodiment of the present invention implemented by the control unit (CPU) 55 will be described.

まず、図３に示すモード１の制御方法では、基本的に、予めディフオルト値として複数設定記憶された加圧設定値Ａ1（例えば７０ｍｍＨｇ，１００ｍｍＨｇ，１３０ｍｍＨｇの３段階から選択キー５７で選択・設定し、加圧→圧力保持→所定の下げ幅での減圧を短い１サイクルで複数回繰り返し行なう場合のマッサージモード（加圧／減圧サイクル，加圧／減圧パターン）を示すものである。この場合、解放圧を他に複数設定記憶し、選択・設定できるようにしてもよい。また、マッサージ効果については、個人差があるので、これを解決するために、使用者が加圧値、圧力保持時間（秒）、減圧値を任意に設定入力変更可能としてもよい。また、脈拍検出手段を設け、短い周期（ｔ４）を脈拍に同期させたり、加圧−減圧の１サイクルを脈拍の整数倍に同期させたりできるようにしてもよい。解放圧を大気圧としたのがモード４の制御方法である。 First, in the control method of mode 1 shown in FIG. 3, basically, a plurality of pressure setting values A1 (for example, 70 mmHg, 100 mmHg, and 130 mmHg) previously set and stored as default values are selected and set by the selection key 57. , Pressurization → pressure holding → massage mode (pressurization / decompression cycle, pressurization / depressurization pattern) in the case of repeatedly performing depressurization with a predetermined reduction width a plurality of times in one short cycle. It is also possible to select and set a plurality of other pressures so that they can be selected and set.In addition, since there are individual differences in the massage effect, the user can adjust the pressure value, pressure holding time ( It is also possible to set and change the pressure reduction value arbitrarily, and to provide a pulse detection means to synchronize the short period (t4) with the pulse, or to apply one cycle of pressurization and pressure reduction. The mode 4 control method may be synchronized with an integral multiple of the beat.

図３に示すモード２の制御方法では、第１〜２サイクルを１つの加圧／減圧パターンとしている。具体的には、第１のサイクルでは、大気圧から加圧設定値Ａ１まで自動加圧を行い、この加圧設定値Ａ１を基準にして、所定の減圧幅ａ１で加圧と減圧を決まった回数だけ短い周期で繰り返す。所定回数を繰り返したら、いったん圧力を大気解放して第１サイクルを終える。第１サイクルを終えたら、次の第２サイクルは、前回より大きな加圧設定値Ａ２まで自動加圧を行い、その加圧設定値Ａ２を基準にして、加圧と減圧を所定の減圧幅ａ２で決まった回数だけ短い周期で繰り返す。所定回数を繰り返したら、いったん圧力を大気解放して１サイクルを終える。この場合、減圧するときにすべて圧力を大気解放して行なってもよい。   In the control method of mode 2 shown in FIG. 3, the first and second cycles are set as one pressurization / depressurization pattern. Specifically, in the first cycle, automatic pressurization is performed from the atmospheric pressure to the pressurization set value A1, and pressurization and depressurization are determined within a predetermined decompression width a1 based on the pressurization set value A1. Repeat with a short cycle as many times. After repeating the predetermined number of times, the pressure is once released to the atmosphere and the first cycle is completed. When the first cycle is completed, in the next second cycle, automatic pressurization is performed up to a pressurization set value A2 larger than the previous time, and pressurization and depressurization are performed with a predetermined depressurization width a2 based on the pressurization set value A2. Repeat with a short period of the number of times determined in. After repeating the predetermined number of times, the pressure is once released to the atmosphere, and one cycle is completed. In this case, all the pressures may be released to the atmosphere when the pressure is reduced.

図３に示すモード３の制御方法では、第１〜３サイクルを１つの加圧／減圧パターンとしている。具体的には、第１のサイクルでは、大気圧から加圧設定値Ａ１まで自動加圧を行い、この加圧設定値Ａ１を基準にして、所定の減圧幅ａ１で加圧と減圧を決まった回数だけ短い周期で繰り返す。所定回数を繰り返したら、いったん圧力を大気解放して第１サイクルを終える。第１サイクルを終えたら、次の第２サイクルは、前回より大きな加圧設定値Ａ２まで自動加圧を行い、その加圧設定値Ａ２を基準にして、加圧と減圧を所定の減圧幅ａ２で決まった回数だけ短い周期で繰り返す。所定回数を繰り返したら、いったん圧力を大気解放して１サイクルを終える。第２サイクルを終えたら、次の第３サイクルは、前回より大きな加圧設定値Ａ３まで自動加圧を行い、その加圧設定値Ａ３を基準にして、加圧と減圧を所定の減圧幅ａ３で決まった回数だけ短い周期で繰り返す。所定回数を繰り返したら、いったん圧力を大気解放して１サイクルを終える。この場合、減圧するときにすべて圧力を大気解放して行なってもよい。この加圧設定値は、３段階に限らず、４段階以上としてもよい。なお、設定された最適な加圧／減圧パターンを自動記憶することで、次回にそのパターンで行なうことができるようになる。   In the control method of mode 3 shown in FIG. 3, the first to third cycles are set as one pressurization / depressurization pattern. Specifically, in the first cycle, automatic pressurization is performed from the atmospheric pressure to the pressurization set value A1, and pressurization and depressurization are determined within a predetermined decompression width a1 based on the pressurization set value A1. Repeat with a short cycle as many times. After repeating the predetermined number of times, the pressure is once released to the atmosphere and the first cycle is completed. When the first cycle is completed, in the next second cycle, automatic pressurization is performed up to a pressurization set value A2 larger than the previous time, and pressurization and depressurization are performed with a predetermined depressurization width a2 based on the pressurization set value A2. Repeat with a short period of the number of times determined in. After repeating the predetermined number of times, the pressure is once released to the atmosphere, and one cycle is completed. When the second cycle is completed, in the next third cycle, automatic pressurization is performed up to a pressurization set value A3 larger than the previous time, and pressurization and depressurization are performed with a predetermined depressurization width a3 based on the pressurization set value A3. Repeat with a short period of the number of times determined in. After repeating the predetermined number of times, the pressure is once released to the atmosphere, and one cycle is completed. In this case, all the pressures may be released to the atmosphere when the pressure is reduced. The pressure setting value is not limited to three levels, and may be four or more levels. In addition, by automatically storing the set optimum pressurization / decompression pattern, it becomes possible to perform the pattern next time.

以上のようにエア圧を制御することによって、マッサージの慣れを無くすことができ、使用者個人個人にあった加圧／減圧パターンにより、快適なマッサージ感を持続的に得ることができる。また、むくみが軽減されればベルト１０１が縮むため、その目盛り１０１ｄを見ることでマッサージ動作中に使用者が極めて容易にその効果を視認することができる。
以上、実施例に基づいて説明したが、上述の実施例に限定されるものでなく、加圧／減圧のパターンは適宜変更可能である。 By controlling the air pressure as described above, it is possible to eliminate the habituation of massage, and a comfortable massage feeling can be continuously obtained by the pressurization / decompression pattern suitable for the individual user. Moreover, since belt 101 will shrink if swelling is reduced, the effect can be recognized very easily by the user during the massage operation by looking at scale 101d.
As described above, the description has been given based on the example. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described example, and the pressurization / decompression pattern can be appropriately changed.
