Description

本発明は、下肢をマッサージするのに好適な下肢用マッサージ機に関する。   The present invention relates to a lower limb massage machine suitable for massaging the lower limbs.

従来、下肢（特に、膝下から足首近傍にかけての部分）をマッサージすることができる下肢用マッサージ機として、椅子型マッサージ装置のフットレストに採用されたものが知られている（例えば、特許文献１）。この下肢用マッサージ機は、左右一対の施療凹部を備えており、その両側壁の内側面と中間壁の両側面とにそれぞれエアバッグが設けられている。これら各エアバッグをエア給排装置で膨張・収縮させることにより、各施療凹部内に嵌め込まれた両下肢を同時にマッサージできるようになっている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a lower limb massage machine capable of massaging a lower limb (particularly, a portion from below the knee to the vicinity of an ankle), a device adopted for a footrest of a chair type massage apparatus is known (for example, Patent Document 1). This lower limb massage machine includes a pair of left and right treatment recesses, and airbags are provided on the inner side surface of both side walls and the both side surfaces of the intermediate wall, respectively. By inflating and contracting each of these airbags with an air supply / discharge device, both lower limbs fitted in each treatment recess can be massaged simultaneously.

一般に、エアバッグは、中央部の膨らみが最も大きく両端部に向かうほど膨らみが小さくなっているので、下肢の長手方向の狭い範囲でしか十分な押圧力が得られないということがあった。そこで、複数のエアバッグを各施療凹部の長手方向に沿って並設し、この複数のエアバッグに同時又は順次にエアを給排して、下肢をその長手方向の広範囲に渡ってマッサージできるようにした下肢用マッサージ機も提案されている（例えば、特許文献２）。   In general, since the airbag has the largest bulge in the central portion and the bulge becomes smaller toward the both ends, a sufficient pressing force can be obtained only in a narrow range in the longitudinal direction of the lower limbs. Therefore, a plurality of airbags are juxtaposed along the longitudinal direction of each treatment recess, and air can be supplied to and discharged from the airbags simultaneously or sequentially so that the lower limb can be massaged over a wide range in the longitudinal direction. A lower limb massage machine has also been proposed (for example, Patent Document 2).

一方、エアバッグを用いず、施療凹部を構成する両壁部そのものを下肢に対して接近・離反させる機構を採用した下肢用マッサージ機も提案されている（例えば、特許文献３）。この下肢用マッサージ機は、ふくらはぎから足先の形状に沿った施療部が左右方向に一対備えられており、ふくらはぎから足先を左右方向から挟み込むようになっている。この施療部が挟み込んだふくらはぎから足先に対して接近・離反しながらマッサージするものである。   On the other hand, there has also been proposed a lower limb massage machine that employs a mechanism that allows the both wall portions themselves constituting the treatment recess to approach and separate from the lower limb without using an airbag (for example, Patent Document 3). This lower limb massage machine is provided with a pair of treatment parts in the left-right direction from the calf to the toe shape, and sandwiches the toe from the calf from the left-right direction. Massage is performed while approaching and moving away from the toes from the calves sandwiched by the treatment section.

特許第３０１２７８０号公報Japanese Patent No. 3012780 特開平１１−３４７０８２号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-347082 特開２００６−３０４８６４号公報JP 2006-304864 A

しかしながら、特許文献１、特許文献２に開示された従来のエアバッグ式の下肢用マッサージ機は、エア給排装置などを利用してエアバッグを膨張・収縮させて、使用者の施療部位に対して押圧するものであるため、使用者に必要な押圧力が得られないということがあった。エアバッグは、中央部の膨らみが最も大きく両端部に向かうほど膨らみが小さく楕円形状になっているので、使用者の施療部位に対して均等な押圧力が得られないということもあった。   However, the conventional airbag-type lower limb massager disclosed in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2 uses an air supply / discharge device to inflate / deflate the airbag to the user's treatment site. In some cases, the pressing force necessary for the user cannot be obtained. The airbag has the largest bulge at the center and the smaller the bulge toward the both ends, the smaller the shape of the airbag, so that an equal pressing force may not be obtained for the user's treatment site.

一方、特許文献３に開示された機械式の下肢用マッサージ機は、ふくらはぎから足先にかけて覆うように挟み込みつつ、接近・離反を繰り返しながらマッサージするものであるが、ふくらはぎから足先に沿った広範囲に対して指圧マッサージのような良好なマッサージ感を提供するものではなかった。
また、特許文献３の機械式の下肢用マッサージ機の施療部は、ふくらはぎをマッサージする施療部材と足をマッサージする施療部材とで構成されている。そのため、各施療部材には使用者の施療部位に対して押圧力を伝えるための駆動軸、動力伝達部材（ギヤ）や動力変換部がそれぞれ必要であり、部品点数が多く複雑な構成のマッサージ機となっている。つまり、特許文献３に開示された下肢用マッサージ機は、部品点数の増大に伴うコスト高などを避けられないものとなっている。 On the other hand, the mechanical lower limb massager disclosed in Patent Document 3 massages while repeatedly approaching / leaving while sandwiching so as to cover from the calf to the toe, but it is a wide range from the calf to the toe. However, it did not provide a good massage feeling like shiatsu massage.
Moreover, the treatment part of the mechanical leg massage machine of Patent Document 3 is composed of a treatment member that massages calves and a treatment member that massages legs. Therefore, each treatment member requires a drive shaft, a power transmission member (gear) and a power conversion unit for transmitting a pressing force to the user's treatment site, and has a complicated structure with a large number of parts. It has become. That is, the lower limb massage machine disclosed in Patent Document 3 cannot avoid the high cost associated with an increase in the number of parts.

本発明は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、下肢用マッサージ機の施療部材をふくらはぎから足へ沿って長尺な形状にすることで、構成部品数を少なくしつつも、斬新で快適なマッサージ感が得られる下肢用マッサージ機を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and by making the treatment member of the lower limb massage machine a long shape from the calf to the foot, it is novel while reducing the number of components.

A single rotating shaft 186 that penetrates through the left and right directions is rotatably supported. Further, both end sides of the rotating shaft 186 are supported by support portions 304 provided in the base frame portion 16. Therefore, the rotating shaft 186 is supported at three points, that is, the gear box 187 and the support portion 304.

ギアボックス１８７内には、ウォームギア及びウォームホイルが内蔵されていて、これらを介してモータ３３の動力が回転軸１８６に伝えられるようになっている。
この回転軸１８６がこれら施療部材３００，３０１の下方を貫通している貫通部分には、回転軸１８６の回転駆動力を内側施療部材３０１と外側施療部材３００による下肢への挟み込みマッサージ動作に変換する変換部１８８が設けられている。 A worm gear and a worm wheel are incorporated in the gear box 187, and the power of the motor 33 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 186 through these.
In the penetrating portion where the rotating shaft 186 penetrates the lower side of the treatment members 300 and 301, the rotational driving force of the rotating shaft 186 is converted into a sandwiching massage operation on the lower limbs by the inner treatment member 301 and the outer treatment member 300. A conversion unit 188 is provided.

変換部１８８は、内側施療部材３０１及び外側施療部材３００の前後方向中央部の下側に一対設けられている。変換部１８８の構成を内側施療部材３０１を例にとり、説明する。
変換部１８８は、内側施療部材３０１の下端側（下部）であって、第１施療部３０２の前側端面よりも若干前側で、第２施療部３０３の下側端面（基端側）よりも下側に配置されている。すなわち、変換部１８８の外周面上側が、足の土踏まず（足の前後方向中央部）に対応するようになっている。これら変換部１８８に回転軸１８６が貫通すると共に、変換部１８８に対してこの回転軸１８６が回転自在に保持されている。なお、外側施療部材３００の変換部１８８についても内側施療部材３０１の変換部１８８と対面する位置に配置されている。外側施療部材３００の変換部１８８と内側施療部材３０１の変換部１８８とが左右方向に並んだ状態で配置されている。 A pair of conversion portions 188 are provided below the center portion in the front-rear direction of the inner treatment member 301 and the outer treatment member 300. The structure of the conversion part 188 is demonstrated taking the inner side treatment member 301 as an example.
The conversion part 188 is on the lower end side (lower part) of the inner treatment member 301, slightly in front of the front end face of the first treatment part 302, and lower than the lower end face (base end side) of the second treatment part 303. Arranged on the side. That is, the upper side of the outer peripheral surface of the conversion unit 188 corresponds to the arch of the foot (the center in the front-rear direction of the foot). A rotary shaft 186 passes through the conversion units 188, and the rotary shaft 186 is rotatably held with respect to the conversion unit 188. In addition, the conversion part 188 of the outer treatment member 300 is also arranged at a position facing the conversion part 188 of the inner treatment member 301. The conversion part 188 of the outer side treatment member 300 and the conversion part 188 of the inner side treatment member 301 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction.

この変換部１８８は、回転軸１８６の軸方向中途部に回転軸１８６と一体回転するように固定された回転ボス部１８９と、外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１に設けられて前記回転ボス部１８９を相対回転自在な状態で外嵌するハウジング部１９０と、回転ボス部１８９に対してハウジング部１９０が供回りすることを規制する規制部１９１とを備えている。   The conversion unit 188 is provided in the rotation boss portion 189 fixed so as to rotate integrally with the rotation shaft 186 at an intermediate portion in the axial direction of the rotation shaft 186, the outer treatment member 300, and the inner treatment member 301, and the rotation boss portion. The housing part 190 which externally fits 189 in a relatively rotatable state and the restriction part 191 which restricts the rotation of the housing part 190 with respect to the rotating boss part 189 are provided.

回転ボス部１８９は、回転軸１８６に対して傾斜して設けられた円盤であって、その外周部には、ベアリングなどの軸受具３０７が装着されている。
特に、内側施療部材３０１は上下方向に長尺であるため、マッサージ中の内側施療部材
３０１に大きなモーメント（揉み動作に伴うモーメント）が発生する。その大きなモーメントによって、内側施療部材３０１の下方に配備されている変換部１８８（回転ボス部１８９）や回転軸１８６に大きな負担がかかる。その結果、内側施療部材３０１を破損させてしまうこととなる。この問題を防ぐため、図８に示すように、内側施療部材３０１の回転ボス部１８９の外周部には、軸受具３０７が複数個（例えば、２個）備えられている。 The rotating boss portion 189 is a disk provided to be inclined with respect to the rotating shaft 186, and a bearing tool 307 such as a bearing is attached to the outer peripheral portion thereof.
In particular, since the inner treatment member 301 is long in the vertical direction, a large moment (moment associated with the massage operation) is generated in the inner treatment member 301 during massage. Due to the large moment, a large load is applied to the conversion portion 188 (rotary boss portion 189) and the rotation shaft 186 disposed below the inner treatment member 301. As a result, the inner treatment member 301 is damaged. In order to prevent this problem, as shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of (for example, two) bearing tools 307 are provided on the outer peripheral portion of the rotating boss portion 189 of the inner treatment member 301.

回転ボス部１８９の傾きは、外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１間において相対逆向きとなっている。
規制部１９１は、ハウジング部１９０から下向きに突出する係合突起を有したもので、この係合突起が、支持フレーム１５の台フレーム部１６に形成された左右に延びる摺動ガイド溝に係合するようになっている。 The inclination of the rotating boss portion 189 is relatively opposite between the outer treatment member 300 and the inner treatment member 301.
The restricting portion 191 has an engaging protrusion that protrudes downward from the housing portion 190, and this engaging protrusion engages with a sliding guide groove extending in the left and right directions formed in the base frame portion 16 of the support frame 15. It is supposed to be.

これらのことにより、回転軸１８６の回転時には、摺動ガイド溝に係合した係合突起が左右方向へのみ摺動を許容される状態となって、ハウジング部１９０の供回りは阻止され、外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１は前後動と左右動とが所定角度範囲に規制された状況下で前後・左右に揺動するものとなる。前記したように、左右の外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１間において、回転軸１８６に対する回転ボス部１８９の傾きは相対逆向きとなっているので、外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１の前側が互いに近接している状態では、外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１の後側が離反した状態となる。即ち、外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１は平面視して略逆Ｖ字状となる。   As a result, when the rotating shaft 186 rotates, the engaging projection engaged with the sliding guide groove is allowed to slide only in the left-right direction, and the rotation of the housing portion 190 is prevented. The treatment member 300 and the inner treatment member 301 swing back and forth and left and right in a situation where the back and forth movement and the left and right movement are regulated within a predetermined angle range. As described above, the inclination of the rotation boss 189 relative to the rotation shaft 186 is relatively opposite between the left and right outer treatment members 300 and the inner treatment member 301, so that the front of the outer treatment member 300 and the inner treatment member 301 are in front of each other. When the sides are close to each other, the rear sides of the outer treatment member 300 and the inner treatment member 301 are separated. That is, the outer treatment member 300 and the inner treatment member 301 have a substantially inverted V shape in plan view.

そして、回転軸１８６が回転するに従い、第２施療部３０３の前側と外側施療部材３００の前側とが互いに近接する動作を生じ、これに伴って第１施療部３０２の上部が前押し施療部材１６０に近接する動作を生じる。その後は、第１施療部３０２の上部が前押し施療部材１６０から離反すると共に第２施療部３０３の前側が外側施療部材３００から離反する。以後、これら施療部材１６０，３００，３０１は前記したサイクル動作を繰り返すことになる。   Then, as the rotation shaft 186 rotates, an operation occurs in which the front side of the second treatment part 303 and the front side of the outer treatment member 300 come close to each other, and accordingly, the upper part of the first treatment part 302 is pushed forward. The movement close to Thereafter, the upper part of the first treatment part 302 is separated from the front-pressing treatment member 160 and the front side of the second treatment part 303 is separated from the outer treatment member 300. Thereafter, these treatment members 160, 300, 301 repeat the above-described cycle operation.

なお、回転軸１８６には、外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１の相互間を渡る部分に対応するようにして、足裏マッサージローラ２００が串刺し状に貫通して設けられている。この足裏マッサージローラ２００は、足Ｆの土踏まずを面接触状に支えることができる程度の外径で、且つ、回転軸１８６と同心又は僅かに偏心した外周面を有しており、この外周面には、周方向及び回転軸１８６の軸方向に間隔をおいて複数の第１突起部２０１が設けられている。   In addition, on the rotating shaft 186, a foot massage roller 200 is provided so as to penetrate in a skewer-like manner so as to correspond to a portion between the outer treatment member 300 and the inner treatment member 301. The sole massage roller 200 has an outer diameter that can support the arch of the foot F in a surface contact manner, and has an outer peripheral surface that is concentric or slightly eccentric with the rotation shaft 186. A plurality of first protrusions 201 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the rotation shaft 186.

この足裏マッサージローラ２００は、外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１が前記したサイクル動作を繰り返すときに、これらと連動して回転する。
この足裏マッサージローラ２００の前方には、外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１の相互間に挟まれる配置で、足Ｆのつま先裏を支える足支持部材１９５ａが配置され、足裏マッサージローラ２００の後方には、外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１の相互間に挟まれる配置で、足Ｆの踵裏を支える足支持部材１９５ｂが配置されている。 The sole massage roller 200 rotates in conjunction with the outer treatment member 300 and the inner treatment member 301 when the above-described cycle operation is repeated.
In front of the sole massage roller 200, a foot support member 195 a that supports the toe sole of the foot F is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the outer treatment member 300 and the inner treatment member 301. On the rear side, a foot support member 195b that supports the sole of the foot F is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the outer treatment member 300 and the inner treatment member 301.

次に、図２〜図７に示した下肢用マッサージ機１を使用する状況に基づいて、その作用を説明する。
下肢用マッサージ機１は、電源スイッチ又は運転操作スイッチがオフの状態にあるときには、図２に示すように、垂直マッサージ機構１５１における前押し施療部材１６０及び裏押し施療部材１６１は、最も下方位置で停止している。 Next, the effect | action is demonstrated based on the condition which uses the massage machine 1 for lower limbs shown in FIGS.
When the power switch or the operation switch is in an off state, the lower limb massage machine 1 has the front-pressing treatment member 160 and the back-pressing treatment member 161 in the vertical massage mechanism 151 at the lowest position as shown in FIG. It has stopped.

そこでまず、使用者は、左右のふくらはぎＬを前押し施療部材１６０及び裏押し施療部材１６１の間にそれぞれ嵌め入れると共に、左右の足Ｆを、水平マッサージ機構１５０の外側施療部材３００及び内側施療部材３０１の間にそれぞれ嵌め入れる。
この状態で電源スイッチ又は運転操作スイッチをオン操作すると、モータ３３が作動し、垂直マッサージ機構１５１では、昇降駆動部３１の減速ギヤ部３４を介して移動機構２６が垂直動スライダ３０を上方へ向けて移動開始させる。また、水平マッサージ機構１５０では、揉み機構１８５のギアボックス１８７を介して回転軸１８６が回転を始める。 Therefore, first, the user inserts the left and right calves L between the front-pressing treatment member 160 and the back-pressing treatment member 161, and the left and right feet F with the outer treatment member 300 and the inner treatment member of the horizontal massage mechanism 150. Fit between 301.
When the power switch or the operation switch is turned on in this state, the motor 33 is activated, and in the vertical massage mechanism 151, the moving mechanism 26 points the vertical slider 30 upward via the reduction gear portion 34 of the elevating drive unit 31. To start moving. In the horizontal massage mechanism 150, the rotation shaft 186 starts rotating via the gear box 187 of the kneading mechanism 185.

垂直マッサージ機構１５１において、垂直動スライダ３０が上方へ移動し始めると、前
押し施療部材１６０によってふくらはぎＬの斜め前面（向こう脛の横）が押圧されると共に、裏押し施療部材１６１によってふくらはぎＬの裏面が押圧され、効果的に指圧マッサージされる状態となる。
この状態のまま、垂直動スライダ３０は、所望に応じて複数サイクルにわたり、上下往復動を繰り返すようになっている。 In the vertical massage mechanism 151, when the vertical slider 30 starts to move upward, the front pressing treatment member 160 presses the oblique front surface of the calf L (the side of the shin), and the back pressing treatment member 161 pushes the calf L. The back surface is pressed, and acupressure massage is effectively performed.
In this state, the vertical slider 30 repeats vertical reciprocation over a plurality of cycles as desired.

一方、水平マッサージ機構１５０においては、回転軸１８６の回転によって内側施療部材３０１の第２施療部３０３及び外側施療部材３００が互いの前側を近接すると、その近接に追従するように内側施療部材３０１の第１施療部３０２が前押し施療部材１６０に近接する。また反対に、内側施療部材３０１の第２施療部３０３及び外側施療部材３００が互いの前側を離反すると、その離反に追従するように内側施療部材３０１の第１施療部３０２が前押し施療部材１６０から離反する。このような繰り返しの揉みマッサージを、足Ｆに対して左右両側から施すことになる。   On the other hand, in the horizontal massage mechanism 150, when the second treatment portion 303 and the outer treatment member 300 of the inner treatment member 301 come close to each other in front by the rotation of the rotation shaft 186, the inner treatment member 301 follows the proximity. The first treatment part 302 is close to the front-pressing treatment member 160. On the other hand, when the second treatment portion 303 and the outer treatment member 300 of the inner treatment member 301 are separated from each other, the first treatment portion 302 of the inner treatment member 301 follows the separation so that the push treatment member 160 is followed. Get away from. Such repeated massage is applied to the foot F from both the left and right sides.

同時に、回転軸１８６に設けられた足裏マッサージローラ２００が回転軸１８６と一緒に回転して、この足裏マッサージローラ２００の外周面に設けられた複数の第１突起部２０１が、足Ｆの足裏を後方から前方へ向け、又は後方から前方へ向けて指圧するようにマッサージする。
また、本発明に係る下肢用マッサージ機１では、垂直マッサージ機構１５１において、移動機構２６による一対の施療部材（前押し施療部材１６０及び裏押し施療部材１６１）の移動と足Ｆとの干渉を防ぐための干渉防止機構２５０を有した構成としている。 At the same time, the sole massage roller 200 provided on the rotation shaft 186 rotates together with the rotation shaft 186, and a plurality of first protrusions 201 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the sole massage roller 200 are formed on the foot F. Massage so that the soles of the feet are pressed from the back to the front or from the back to the front.
In the lower limb massage machine 1 according to the present invention, the vertical massage mechanism 151 prevents the movement of the pair of treatment members (the front pressure treatment member 160 and the back pressure treatment member 161) by the movement mechanism 26 and the interference with the foot F. Therefore, a configuration having an interference prevention mechanism 250 is provided.

下肢用マッサージ機１に備えられた干渉防止機構２５０は、規制部材２５１と背面部材２５２と緩衝部材２５３とを有している。
規制部材２５１は、移動機構２６が一対の施療部材１６０，１６１を膝から足Ｆへ向けて移動させた際に、裏押し施療部材１６１（ふくらはぎの背面用の施療部材）が到達する到達位置（下方到達位置）へ足Ｆが入り込まないように規制するためのものである。 The interference prevention mechanism 250 provided in the lower limb massage machine 1 includes a regulating member 251, a back member 252, and a buffer member 253.
When the movement mechanism 26 moves the pair of treatment members 160 and 161 from the knee toward the foot F, the restriction member 251 reaches the reach position (the treatment member for the back of the calf) that the back pressing treatment member 161 reaches ( This is for restricting the foot F from entering the downwardly reaching position).

これに対して、背面部材２５２は、垂直動スライダ３０及びこの垂直動スライダ３０に取り付けられた裏押し施療部材１６１が、上下に移動する際の移動経路上に足Ｆが入ったり、この移動経路から裏側へ足Ｆが後方に通り抜けないように規制するためのものである。
また、緩衝部材２５３は、裏押し施療部材１６１が移動機構２６によって膝から足Ｆへ向けて移動（下降）して万が一にも足Ｆと当接したときに、裏押し施療部材１６１を移動方向の後方や上方へ移動可能（逃げ可能）とさせるためのものである。 On the other hand, the back member 252 has the foot F on the movement path when the vertical movement slider 30 and the back pressing treatment member 161 attached to the vertical movement slider 30 move up and down. This is for restricting the foot F from passing from the rear side to the back side.
Further, the buffer member 253 moves the back-pressing treatment member 161 in the moving direction when the back-pressing treatment member 161 moves (lowers) from the knee to the foot F by the moving mechanism 26 and contacts the foot F by any chance. It is intended to be movable rearward or upward (can escape).

加えて、停電時などの対応として、水平マッサージ機構１５０によるふくらはぎＬの拘束状態や、垂直マッサージ機構１５１による足Ｆの拘束状態を、使用者が手で強制的に解除できるような機構（脱出用の機構）を装備させることも可能である。
以上述べた下肢用マッサージ機によれば、下肢用マッサージ機の施療部材をふくらはぎから足へ沿って長尺な形状にすることで、構成部品数を少なくしつつも、斬新で快適なマッサージ感を使用者に付与することが可能となる。 In addition, a mechanism that allows the user to forcefully release the restraint state of the calf L by the horizontal massage mechanism 150 and the restraint state of the foot F by the vertical massage mechanism 151 (for escape) Can be equipped.
According to the lower limb massage machine described above, the treatment member of the lower limb massage machine is formed into a long shape from the calf to the foot, thereby reducing the number of components and providing a novel and comfortable massage feeling. It can be given to the user.

ところで、今回開示された実施形態はすべての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は上記した説明ではなくて特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
例えば、本発明に係る下肢用マッサージ機１は、椅子型マッサージ機の座部前方に設けることで、フットレストとして兼用可能に設けることも可能である。 By the way, it should be thought that embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration and restrictive at no points.
