Description
本発明は健康器具に関し、特に耳介の内側にあるツボに振動体をあてがうことで刺激し、同時に音響振動を発生することにより音楽やラジオなどを聴くことができる健康器具に関する。 The present invention relates to a health device, and more particularly to a health device that can be stimulated by applying a vibrating body to an acupuncture point inside the auricle and simultaneously listen to music or radio by generating acoustic vibration.
健康器具の一種であり、耳介の内側にあるツボを刺激し、食欲の抑制によるダイエット、あるいは胃の活性化などを行うことを目的にするものがある。 Some types of health appliances are intended to stimulate acupoints inside the auricle and to perform diets by suppressing appetite or activating the stomach.
従来この種のものとしては、２〜３ｍｍ程度の粒状の物をツボの部分に粘着性のあるテープで固定したり、リング状の金属性のバネでツボの部分を挟んだりしているが、外れやすいことや外観的に奇異な感じもあり、必ずしも使い勝手のよいものでは無かった。 Conventionally, as this kind of thing, a granular thing of about 2 to 3 mm is fixed to the part of the pot with an adhesive tape, or the part of the pot is sandwiched with a ring-shaped metallic spring, It was easy to come off and the appearance was strange, so it was not always easy to use.
他にも種々の例があるが、たとえば、特許文献１には、止め具によって耳に装着しておくだけで自動的にツボを刺激することができる耳用ツボ刺激具が開示されている。 Although there are various other examples, for example, Patent Literature 1 discloses an acupoint stimulating device for an ear that can automatically stimulate the acupuncture point simply by wearing the ear with a stopper.
従来からある耳のツボを刺激する健康器具については、装着感、使用時の快適さ等において十分なものではない。たとえば、特許文献１の耳用ツボ刺激具ではツボの刺激と同時にオルゴールによる音楽を楽しむことができるが、ラジオ放送などの音声を楽しむことはできず、さらに一定間隔でゼンマイを巻き直す必要があり、重量の軽減も困難である。また、ゼンマイに代えてモータを駆動源にするときには消費電力の低減が困難である。 Conventional health devices that stimulate the acupoints of the ear are not sufficient in terms of wearing comfort, comfort in use, and the like. For example, in the acupoint stimulator for ears of Patent Document 1, music by music box can be enjoyed at the same time as stimulating acupuncture points, but it is not possible to enjoy sound such as radio broadcasting, and it is necessary to rewind the mainspring at regular intervals. Also, weight reduction is difficult. Further, when using a motor as a drive source instead of the mainspring, it is difficult to reduce power consumption.
このような状況にあって、本発明の課題は、耳のツボを刺激する目的だけでなく、耳になじみやすく外観的にも自然で、快適に音楽やラジオを楽しむことができる健康器具を提供することにある。 Under such circumstances, the subject of the present invention is not only the purpose of stimulating the acupuncture points of the ear, but also provides a health device that is comfortable to the ear and natural in appearance, and that can enjoy music and radio comfortably. There is to do.
第一の発明はリング状の振動体を外耳道の入口にある耳甲介腔部に挿入することでリングの外周に接するツボを振動で刺激することを特徴とする。第二の発明はこの振動源として電磁力や圧電の力を用いることとし、ツボを刺激する振動と同時に音響振動を励振することにより使用者は骨伝導により音楽やラジオを楽しめることを特徴とする。第三の発明は特定のツボに振動力を集中できるようにリング外周の一部に突起が設けられており、またこのリングの突起は可動式でその位置を目的に応じて調整できることを特徴とする。第四の発明はリングの周方向に欠損部を持ち、その欠損部によって生じた開放端を有する音叉振動が励振されることを特徴とする。
即ち、本発明によれば、外耳道の入口付近の耳甲介腔部に挿入し振動させる健康器具であって、偏心して孔が設けられたリング状の振動体に、周方向の連続性を断つ欠損部を設け、前記欠損部によって生じた開放端を有する音叉が形成され、前記孔内に棒状のアクチュエータを備えたことを特徴とする健康器具が得られる。
また、本発明によれば、前記振動体は圧電または電磁方式で励振され、音響振動の発生が可能であることを特徴とする上記の健康器具が得られる。
また、本発明によれば、前記リング状の振動体の外周部にツボを集中的に刺激するための突起が設けられ、前記突起は前記外周部の一点に設定できるように可動であることを特徴とする上記の健康器具が得られる。
The first invention is characterized in that the acupuncture point in contact with the outer periphery of the ring is stimulated by vibration by inserting a ring-shaped vibrating body into the concha cavity portion at the entrance of the ear canal. The second invention uses electromagnetic force or piezoelectric force as the vibration source, and the user can enjoy music and radio by bone conduction by exciting acoustic vibrations simultaneously with vibrations that stimulate the acupuncture points. . The third invention is characterized in that a protrusion is provided on a part of the outer periphery of the ring so that the vibration force can be concentrated on a specific point, and the protrusion of this ring is movable and its position can be adjusted according to the purpose. To do. The fourth invention is characterized in that a tuning fork vibration having a missing portion in the circumferential direction of the ring and having an open end caused by the missing portion is excited.
That is, according to the present invention, a health device that is inserted into the concha cavity portion near the entrance to the ear canal and vibrates, and the ring-shaped vibrating body provided with an eccentric hole is cut off in the circumferential direction. A health device is provided, in which a tuning fork having an open end formed by the defective portion is provided, and a rod-shaped actuator is provided in the hole.
In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain the health appliance described above, wherein the vibrator is excited by a piezoelectric or electromagnetic method and can generate acoustic vibration.
Further, according to the present invention, a protrusion for intensively stimulating acupoints is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the ring-shaped vibrating body, and the protrusion is movable so that it can be set at one point of the outer peripheral portion. A health appliance as described above is obtained.
本発明によれば、耳道の入口付近にあるツボを、音楽やラジオを聞きながら、刺激することにより、ダイエットなどができる健康器具を提供できる。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the health appliance which can be dieted by stimulating the acupuncture point near the entrance of the ear canal while listening to music and radio can be provided.
また、コンパクトで消費電力が少なく、軽量で耳に装着したときに違和感がなく、快適に使用できる健康器具を提供できる。 In addition, it is possible to provide a health appliance that is compact, consumes less power, is light and does not feel strange when worn on the ear, and can be used comfortably.
以下、図面を用いて本発明の実施の形態を説明する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
（実施の形態１）
図１は本発明の実施の形態１での健康器具の基本構成を耳に装着した状態で示す模式図である。外耳道の入口にある耳甲介腔部１ｃに挿入した振動リング１ａにはリングの一部に突起１ｂが設けられている。この突起１ｂの基部はリング外周に設けられたガイドに沿って移動可能であり、その位置は任意に調整できる。すなわち、耳介の内側の１つのツボの位置に突起１ｂを合わせることができる。
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the basic configuration of a health device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention in a state where the health device is worn on the ear. The
振動リング１ａを駆動する方式として、積層型の圧電アクチュエータの変位を活用してその変位をリング状の音叉構造が拡大し音響振動の発生を可能としたものである。この音叉型振動リングの構成を図２に模式図で示す。２ａは音叉型振動リング、２ｂは積層型の圧電アクチュエータ、２１は音叉の開放端を形成するための欠損部である。この形状により、音叉振動の共鳴現象を利用してツボ刺激に適した周波数での振動を強化できる。なお、小出力タイプでは積層型の圧電アクチュエータ２ｂに代えて電磁方式のアクチュエータを用いるのもよい。
As a system for driving the
（実施の形態２）
本実施の形態では、矩形の圧電バイモルフ（３０×４×０．６ｍｍ）の周囲を有機物の層で被覆して棒状（３５×５×３ｍｍ）とした駆動源を用い、この先端にアクリル製のリングを振動体として設ける構成とした。図３は本実施の形態２の健康器具を示す模式図であり、３ａは有機物の層で被覆した圧電バイモルフ、３ｂはアクリル製のリングである。
(Embodiment 2)
In this embodiment, a rectangular piezoelectric bimorph (30 × 4 × 0.6 mm) is covered with an organic layer and a rod-shaped (35 × 5 × 3 mm) driving source is used, and the tip is made of acrylic. The ring is provided as a vibrating body. FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a health device according to the second embodiment. 3a is a piezoelectric bimorph covered with an organic layer, and 3b is an acrylic ring.
駆動源には電磁方式も可能であり、歯車などの機構部品を組み合わせる方式（特許文献１）に比べると消費電力を低減できるが、圧電方式の利点は軽量な構成で大出力が可能なことである。すなわち、ツボ刺激のための大出力と、音楽などを聴くための音響振動とを軽量な構成で同時に得ることができる。 The drive source can also be an electromagnetic system, which can reduce power consumption compared to a system that combines mechanical parts such as gears (Patent Document 1). is there. That is, a large output for acupuncture stimulation and acoustic vibration for listening to music or the like can be simultaneously obtained with a lightweight configuration.
ところで、リング振動体を外耳道の入口付近に当接するには、リング部分を耳甲介腔部に挿入するだけでも可能であり、この場合は、耳のアクセサリーとしても使用可能である。また、頭部への固定用バンドあるいは固定用アーム等を用いて圧電バイモルフの振動の節の部分を中心に支持してもよい。 By the way, in order to bring the ring vibrating body into contact with the vicinity of the entrance of the ear canal, it is possible to simply insert the ring portion into the concha cavity, and in this case, it can also be used as an ear accessory. Further, the vibrational portion of the piezoelectric bimorph may be supported around the center using a fixing band or a fixing arm to the head.
