[0023] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] In some figures, some of the detailed symbols for other figure labels have been omitted.

[0025] In the following embodiments, the front-back, left-right, and up-down directions are described based on the subject of the massage machine sitting with the backrest upright.

[0026] Figures 1-9 This diagram schematically illustrates an example of a massage machine according to this embodiment, as well as a modified example including the treatment section of the rotating body of the massage machine.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in (a) and (b), the massage machine 1 of this embodiment is a chair-type massage machine with a backrest 2 supporting the back of the patient and a seat 3 for the patient to sit on. The massage machine 1 includes a leg rest 4 supporting the patient's legs and armrests 5, 5, which are erected on the left and right sides of the seat 3 and support the patient's arms. The massage machine 1 has stimulation units 32, 33, 34 (see reference) that apply stimulation to the treated area of ​​the patient. Figure 2 The massage machine 1 includes a treatment body 30 constituting the treatment element, the details of which will be described later. In this embodiment, the treatment bodies 30 are arranged in pairs on each side in the body width direction (left-right direction). That is, the massage machine 1 includes a left treatment body 30A and a right treatment body 30B constituting the treatment body 30. With this structure, the left treatment body 30A and the right treatment body 30B can be used to treat each part of the body on both sides in the body width direction of the patient.

[0028] In this embodiment, the left-side treatment body 30A and the right-side treatment body 30B are disposed in a treatment unit 12 that constitutes a treatment portion capable of moving along the length of the body. This structure simplifies the structure compared to a structure that allows the left and right treatment portions to move independently along the length of the body.

[0029] Additionally, in this embodiment, on one side (the lower side in the illustration) of these left-side treatment bodies 30A and right-side treatment bodies 30B in the vertical direction, such as Figure 2 As shown in (a) to (d), a lower treatment element 22 is provided as another treatment element. That is, the left treatment body 30A and the right treatment body 30B constitute the upper treatment element. The left treatment body 30A and the lower treatment element 22 constitute the left treatment element unit 20A, and the right treatment body 30B and the lower treatment element 22 constitute the right treatment element unit 20B. An example of the specific structure of these left and right treatment element units 20A and 20B will be described later.

[0030] Backrest 2 via backrest drive unit 6 (see reference) Figure 3The backrest 2 can rotate freely relative to the seat 3, with its lower end serving as a fulcrum, or it can be a structure that swings (rocks) together with the seat 3. The backrest drive unit 6 can be an electric actuator having a rod connected to the backrest 2 and extending and retracting via a suitable motor. In the massage machine 1, to control the backrest drive unit 6, a suitable tilt angle detection unit for detecting the tilt angle of the backrest 2, and a suitable stopping mechanism for stopping the backrest drive unit 6 at the upright limit and the reclining limit, etc., may also be provided.

[0031] Air chambers for treating the spine, waist, and buttocks of the patient can also be set in appropriate positions in the backrest 2 or seat 3 without interfering with the treatment unit 12 described later. Air chambers for restraining or treating the left and right shoulders of the patient can also be set on the left and right sides of the backrest 2.

[0032] The leg support 4 is provided with leg receiving slots for receiving the left and right legs of the patient, respectively. The leg support 4 is connected to the leg drive unit 7 (see reference 7). Figure 3 The leg support 4 can also rotate freely relative to the seat 3, with its upper end serving as a fulcrum. Similarly, the leg drive unit 7 can be an electric actuator having a rod connected to the leg support 4 and extending / retracting via a suitable motor. In the massage machine 1, to control the leg drive unit 7, a suitable tilt angle detection unit for detecting the tilt angle of the leg support 4, and a suitable stop mechanism for stopping the leg drive unit 7 at the upper and lower tilt limits, etc., can also be provided. The leg support 4 can also extend / retract freely or rise / fall freely along the length of the patient's legs.

[0033] Alternatively, a suitable treatment mechanism, such as an air chamber or rollers, can be provided on the leg support 4 to treat the legs housed in the leg receiving slot.

[0034] The left and right armrests 5, 5 are arranged across the seat 3 and extending to the backrest 2, in a manner that can support the fingers, forearms, and upper arms of the person receiving treatment. These left and right armrests 5, 5 may also be provided with arm receiving slots for receiving the left and right arms of the person receiving treatment, respectively. Appropriate treatment mechanisms such as air chambers or rollers may also be provided for treating the arms receiving these arm receiving slots on the left and right armrests 5, 5.

[0035] The massage machine 1 is equipped with an air supply and exhaust section 8 (see reference) that controls the supply of air to and from each of the aforementioned air chambers. Figure 3 As an air supply and exhaust unit 8, it can also be a solenoid valve or the like that opens and closes the air pipes connecting each air chamber to an air source such as a pump.

[0036] like Figure 1As shown in (b), the treatment unit 12 can move within the massage machine 1 along a guide rail 9 formed as a long strip along the length of the body. The guide rail 9 is simplified in the illustration, but is appropriately shaped to follow the shape of the back of the body. In the illustration, an example is shown where the guide rail 9 is continuously arranged throughout the approximately vertical direction of the backrest 2 and the approximately vertical direction of the seat 3, but it may also be provided only on the backrest 2. The guide rail 9 is arranged in pairs at left-right intervals, guiding the left and right ends of the treatment unit 12. These left and right guide rails 9 are provided with guide grooves that guide rollers, pins, etc., provided at the left and right ends of the treatment unit 12, and racks that mesh with pinions provided at the left and right ends of the treatment unit 12.

[0037] At both ends of the treatment unit 12, there are guide portions that are guided along the guide grooves of the left and right guide rails 9. The guide portions may also be provided at two locations at intervals along the body length direction at both ends of the treatment unit 12. At both ends of the treatment unit 12, there are pinions that mesh with the racks of the left and right guide rails 9. The pinions on both sides may also be coaxially arranged relative to the guide portion on one side along the body length direction.

[0038] In the treatment unit 12, a main body lifting drive unit 14 is provided to rotate the small gears on the left and right sides (see reference). Figure 3 The main body lifting drive unit 14 is composed of a suitable motor, which rotates the pinion shafts on both sides via a suitable reducer. That is, if the main body lifting drive unit 14 is driven, the pinion shafts on both sides of the treatment unit 12 rotate, and the treatment unit 12 moves along the racks of the left and right guide rails 9 meshing with it in the body length direction. In the massage machine 1, a main body lifting position detection unit is provided to detect the lifting position of the treatment unit 12 that moves through the main body lifting drive unit 14. As the main body lifting position detection unit, it can be a rotary encoder that detects the rotational speed of the rotating body that is rotated by the main body lifting drive unit 14, or it can be a suitable sensor that detects the part being detected, which is provided on one of the treatment unit 12 and the guide rail 9.

[0039] In the treatment unit 12, a main body retraction drive may also be provided, which is driven to move the treatment part main body 13, on which the left and right treatment element units 20A and 20B are provided, forward and backward relative to the guide rail 9. As the main body retraction drive, for example, it may be configured to swing the treatment part main body 13, which is freely swingable relative to the main body holding part of the treatment unit 12, so that its upper end side and lower end side serve as fulcrums and it moves in a generally forward and backward direction in a direction that is approximately orthogonal to the length direction of the guide rail 9. In this case, a pinion gear connected to the motor constituting the main body retraction drive may be provided on one of the main body holding part and the treatment part main body 13 via a suitable speed reducer, and an arc-shaped rack extending in the generally forward and backward direction and meshing with the pinion gear may be provided on the other. That is, it may be configured such that if the main body retraction drive is driven, the pinion gear rotates, and along the arc-shaped rack meshing with it, the upper end side of the treatment part main body 13 moves forward and backward together with the left and right treatment element units 20A and 20B in the generally forward and backward direction. The body retraction mechanism for moving the treatment unit body 13 forward and backward is not limited to the structure described above. It can also be configured to move the treatment unit body 13 forward and backward linearly relative to the guide rail 9, and various other structures are also possible. The massage machine 1 may also be equipped with a body retraction position detection unit that detects the forward and backward position of the treatment unit body 13 as it moves via the body retraction drive unit. This body retraction position detection unit may be the same as the body lifting position detection unit described above. Alternatively, such a body retraction mechanism may not be provided.

[0040] In the treatment unit 12, a treatment component width driving unit 15 is provided, which is driven when the treatment component units 20A and 20B disposed on the left and right sides of the treatment unit main body 13 are moved in the left-right direction (body width direction). Figure 3 Alternatively, the main body 13 of the treatment unit may be equipped with a guide shaft that freely guides the left and right treatment units 20A and 20B in the left-right direction, and a threaded shaft that is connected to a motor constituting the treatment unit width drive unit 15 via a suitable reducer and engages with the female threaded portions of the left treatment unit 20A and the right treatment unit 20B to displace them toward the approaching or away side. Alternatively, the treatment unit 12 may be equipped with a suitable detection unit for detecting the left and right positions of the left treatment unit 20A and the right treatment unit 20B.

[0041] In the treatment unit 12, a kneading drive unit 16 is provided, which is driven when the left treatment unit 20A and the right treatment unit 20B perform a kneading action (see reference). Figure 3 The main body 13 of the treatment section may also be equipped with an appropriate eccentric rotor, kneading shaft, etc., which is connected to the motor constituting the kneading drive section 16 via an appropriate speed reducer and causes the left treatment unit 20A and the right treatment unit 20B to move in an arc shape.

[0042] In the treatment unit 12, a tapping drive unit 17 (see reference) is provided, which is driven when the left treatment unit 20A and the right treatment unit 20B are tapped. Figure 3 On the main body 13 of the treatment unit, a suitable crank mechanism, eccentric rotor, striking shaft, etc., may also be provided, which are connected to the motor constituting the striking drive unit 17 via a suitable reducer and cause the left treatment unit 20A and the right treatment unit 20B to move approximately vertically in the longitudinal direction of the guide rail 9.

[0043] Alternatively, the treatment piece width drive unit 15, the kneading drive unit 16, and the tapping drive unit 17 described above may not be provided. For example, the kneading drive unit 16 may be omitted, and the kneading action may be performed by the treatment piece width drive unit 15 and the main body lifting drive unit 14.

[0044] The motors constituting the aforementioned drive units 6, 7, 14, 15, 16, and 17, as well as the motor 23 of the treatment body 30 described later, may be servo motors capable of rotating in both directions and having their speed controlled.

[0045] Regarding the basic structure of the massage machine 1 described above, various known structures can be adopted in addition to the above-mentioned structure.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown in (a) to (d), the treatment body 30 includes a rotating body 31 that rotates via a motor 23. Multiple stimulation application sections 32, 33, and 34 are provided on this rotating body 31, allowing for switching between the applied stimulation and the stimulation location, or between both, via rotation of the rotating body 31. Figure 3 As shown, the massager 1 includes a control unit 10 that controls the motor 23 to rotate the rotating body 31, thereby switching at least one of the plurality of stimulation application sections 32, 33, and 34 to the side of the treated area. With this structure, the applied stimulation and stimulation position can be switched according to the user's preference or the treated area, etc. Furthermore, since the control unit 10 switches by controlling the rotation of the rotating body 31 via the motor 23, ease of use is improved.

[0047] The massager 1 includes a detection unit 26 for detecting the rotation angle of the rotating body 31. For example, if the rotation of the rotating body 31 is controlled by a limit switch or the like, it would be difficult to set up more than three stimulation application units 32, 33, and 34 that can be switched. However, according to the above structure, even if there are more than three stimulation application units 32, 33, and 34, the rotating body 31 can be controlled to an appropriate rotation angle by detecting the rotation angle of the rotating body 31.

[0048] Specifically, the left-side treatment unit 20A and the right-side treatment unit 20B, each having a treatment body 30, have identical structures. Hereinafter, an example of the specific structure will be described using one of the left and right sides as an example. In the absence of a distinction between left and right, the left-side treatment unit 20A and the right-side treatment unit 20B will be referred to as treatment unit 20, the left-side motor 23A and the right-side motor 23B as motor 23, the left-side detection unit 26A and the right-side detection unit 26B as detection unit 26, and the left-side treatment body 30A and the right-side treatment body 30B as treatment body 30.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown in (a), the treatment unit 20 includes a support portion 21 that supports the treatment body 30 and the lower treatment member 22. The support portion 21 is fixed to an arm portion 18 that is provided on the side of the treatment body 13, protruding towards the front of the treatment body 13. The support portion 21 can be fixed fixed relative to the arm portion 18 without displacement, or it can be connected to the arm portion 18 with free swinging relative to the arm portion 18.

[0050] The aforementioned treatment piece width drive 15, kneading drive 16, and tapping drive 17 can also be configured to move the arm 18 via various mechanical transmission mechanisms. When the support 21 of the treatment piece unit 20 is fixedly disposed relative to the treatment body 13, the structure includes moving the treatment piece unit 20 via the treatment piece width drive 15, kneading drive 16, and tapping drive 17. On the other hand, the structure that allows free movement with contact with the recipient's body can be removed. The contact between the stimulation delivery parts 32, 33, 34 of the treatment body 30 and the lower treatment piece 22 and the recipient's body is not limited to direct contact with the body, but also includes contact via sheet-like covers, clothing, etc., typically provided to cover their front sides.

[0051] In this embodiment, the support portion 21 is elongated in the length direction of the body. The support portion 21 is configured such that a rotating body 31, constituting a treatment device whose treatment posture can be switched via a motor 23, is provided at one end in the length direction, and a lower treatment device 22, constituting another treatment device, is provided at the other end in the length direction. In the illustration, the support portion 21 is crescent-shaped (dart-shaped) when viewed in the left-right direction, with the rotating body 31 at its upper end and the lower treatment device 22 at its lower end. The lower treatment device 22 may also be configured as a roller that rotates freely about an axis approximately in the width direction of the body.

[0052] Alternatively, the rotating body 31, which switches the treatment posture via motor 23, can be used as the upper treatment element instead of the lower one. Or, the rotating body 31, which switches the treatment posture via motor 23, can be used as the lower treatment element. Other treatment elements can also be further provided above, below, left, or right on the support portion 21 or other parts. The shape of the support portion 21 is not limited to crescent (dart) shape; it can also be of various shapes.

[0053] In this embodiment, in the rotating body 31, a plurality of circular plate-shaped treatment elements 32, 33, and 34 constituting a plurality of stimulation application portions are spaced apart circumferentially and are rotatably disposed relative to the rotating body 31. With this structure, treatment of the recipient's affected area can be performed using at least one of the plurality of circular plate-shaped treatment elements 32, 33, and 34. Furthermore, since these treatment elements 32, 33, and 34 are rotatable, friction between the cover of the massage machine 1, the recipient's clothing, etc., and the treatment elements 32, 33, and 34 is minimized, allowing for smooth movement.

[0054] In this embodiment, the outer diameters of the plurality of treatment elements 32, 33, and 34 are different. With this structure, the treatment posture can be switched by rotating the rotating body 31, allowing for different stimuli to be applied. For example, when localized stimulation is desired, the treatment element 32 with the smaller diameter can be switched to the side of the treated area, thus utilizing at least one of the plurality of treatment elements 32, 33, and 34 with different outer diameters to treat the treated area.

[0055] Specifically, the rotation axis 25 of the rotating body 31 is connected to the motor 23 via a reducer 24. In this embodiment, the axis of the rotation axis 25 is approximately in the direction of body width. The axis of the rotation axis 25 may also be tilted relative to the direction of body width in any direction within a range of about 20 degrees. In addition, the rotation axis 25 of the left treatment body 30A and the rotation axis 25 of the right treatment body 30B may be arranged parallel, or they may be tilted in either the same direction or in opposite directions.

[0056] In this embodiment, a first treatment element 32, a second treatment element 33, and a third treatment element 34 are provided as multiple treatment elements on the rotating body 31. The rotating body 31 is provided with multiple (three in the example) support plates 31a, 31a, 31a protruding radially outward from the axial side. Each treatment element 32, 33, 34 is rotatably held on these support plates 31a, 31a, 31a. These support plates 31a, 31a, 31a are arranged at equal intervals circumferentially between the treatment elements 32, 33, 34. That is, in this modified example, adjacent treatment elements 32, 33, 34 are arranged at positions 120 degrees apart from each other on a circle centered on the rotation axis 25, with their respective axes as the center.

[0057] Each treatment element 32, 33, and 34 is configured to rotate freely about a support shaft 31b, 31b, 31b located at the protruding front end of each support plate 31a, 31a, 31a. These support shafts 31b, 31b, 31b are arranged with their axial direction approximately in the body width direction, and are parallel to each other, so that each treatment element 32, 33, and 34 can rotate smoothly when the treatment unit 12 moves in the body length direction. These support shafts 31b, 31b, 31b are each arranged at an equal distance from the rotation axis 25. Alternatively, when each treatment element 32, 33, and 34 is switched to a forward-protruding position, the dimensions from the rotation axis 25 to each support shaft 31b, 31b, 31b can be different, matching the outer diameter of each treatment element 32, 33, and 34, so that the parts facing the treated area are roughly aligned in the front-rear direction.

[0058] Each treatment element 32, 33, and 34 is formed as a roller centered on its respective support shaft 31b, 31b, 31b. These treatment elements 32, 33, and 34 are positioned approximately at the same location along the axial direction of the rotation shaft 25. Alternatively, as in the first variation described later, these treatment elements 32, 33, and 34 can also be positioned at different locations along the axial direction of the rotation shaft 25. With this structure, by rotating the rotating body 31 to switch the treatment posture, both the applied stimulation and the stimulation location can be switched.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first treatment element 32 has the smallest outer diameter among the three treatment elements 32, 33, and 34, while the third treatment element 34 has the largest outer diameter. The illustration shows an example where the outer diameter of the third treatment element 34 is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the lower treatment element 22, but this is not a limited example. These treatment elements 32, 33, 34, and the lower treatment element 22 are not limited to structures with cylindrical outer circumferential surfaces; they can also be structures where concave and convex shapes that enhance acupressure are alternately arranged across approximately the entire circumference of the outer circumference.

[0060] The detection unit 26 detects the rotation angle of the rotating body 31, enabling the treatment members 32, 33, and 34, which constitute multiple stimulation application units, to perform switching control of the rotating body 31 as described above. This detection unit 26 can be a rotary encoder that detects the rotational speed of various rotating bodies, such as the motor 23, a gear rotated by the motor 23, or the rotating body 31; it can also be a potentiometer. Furthermore, the detection unit 26 can be of any structure, such as optical, magnetic, or ultrasonic. Additionally, the detection unit 26 can be configured to detect arbitrary (absolute) angle information of the rotating body 31, or it can be configured to detect arbitrary angle information based on the driving amount and driving time from the origin position as a reference. Furthermore, the detection unit 26 can also be configured to perform switching control as described later, detecting only the angle of each treatment posture of the rotating body 31, which has multiple treatment postures; other than these, various other structures are also possible.

[0061] The massage machine 1 is equipped with a suitable power supply unit, power cord, etc., which is connected to an external commercial power supply and supplies drive power to the aforementioned components.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the massage machine 1 includes a control unit 10 for controlling various parts and an operation display unit 11. The operation display unit 11 can also be a remote control or the like connected to the control unit 10 via a suitable signal line. The operation display unit 11 includes controls for starting and stopping the massage machine 1 (ON / OFF), selecting various treatment modes, tilting the backrest 2 and leg rest 4, and moving the treatment unit 12. Additionally, the operation display unit 11 may include a control for selecting the treatment posture of the rotating body 31. Furthermore, the treatment posture of the rotating body 31 can be configured to be switched by the control unit 10 according to the treatment mode or a pre-determined program of the treated part.

[0063] The operation display unit 11 is not limited to an operation unit operated by fingers or the like, but may also include a voice recognition unit that allows operation via voice input, or various other structures. The operation display unit 11 is not limited to being pre-installed as an accessory on the massager 1, but may also be a portable information terminal with application software installed for operation.

[0064] The control unit 10 is built into the lower side of the seat 3 of the massage machine 1. This control unit 10 includes a microcomputer (MCU) containing control circuits such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and various memories such as ROM and RAM. Figure 3As shown, the control unit 10 is connected to the aforementioned drive units, detection units, etc., via signal lines, etc. Based on a pre-set program stored in the memory of the control unit 10, it controls each drive unit while referring to the detection values ​​of each detection unit to execute various treatment modes. Furthermore, before executing a treatment mode, it can also execute modes that detect body information such as the shoulder position of the patient, or various initial setting modes.

[0065] The control unit 10 drives the motor 23 based on the detection angle of the detection unit 26, causing the rotating body 31 to rotate so as to achieve a treatment posture corresponding to the operation input or a predetermined program from the operation display unit 11.

[0066] exist Figure 2 In (a), an example is shown in which the rotating body 31 is rotated to a treatment position in which the first treatment member 32 is positioned on the side of the treatment area (protruding forward from the rotation axis 25). In this treatment position, treatment can be performed using the first treatment member 32 and the lower treatment member 22, which have relatively small diameters.

[0067] exist Figure 2 In (b), an example is shown in which the rotating body 31 is rotated so that the second treatment member 33 is on the side of the treated area. In this treatment position, treatment can be performed using the second treatment member 33, which has a larger diameter than the first treatment member 32, and the lower treatment member 22.

[0068] exist Figure 2 In (c), an example is shown in which the rotating body 31 is rotated so that the third treatment member 34 is on the side of the treated area. In this treatment position, treatment can be performed using the third treatment member 34, which has a larger diameter than the second treatment member 33, and the lower treatment member 22.

[0069] exist Figure 2 In (d), an example is shown where the rotating body 31 is rotated to a treatment position where the first treatment element 32 and the third treatment element 34 are on the side of the treated area. In this treatment position, treatment can be performed based on the first treatment element 32, the third treatment element 34, and the lower treatment element 22. Furthermore, although not shown in the figure, it is also possible to rotate the rotating body 31 to a treatment position where the first treatment element 32 and the second treatment element 33 are on the side of the treated area, or to a treatment position where the second treatment element 33 and the third treatment element 34 are on the side of the treated area. In this embodiment, different stimulations can be applied to the treated area by using multiple treatment elements 32, 33, and 34 with different outer diameters.

[0070] In this way, when the rotating body 31 is in various therapeutic postures, it can perform various therapeutic modes, such as rubbing therapy mode, tapping therapy mode, acupressure therapy mode, etc.

[0071] Alternatively, the rotating bodies 31 and 31 of the left and right treatment bodies 30A and 30B can be set to the same treatment posture for treatment, or they can be treated with different treatment postures.

[0072] The treatment posture of the rotating body 31 is not limited to the postures mentioned above; in addition, it can undergo various transformations.

[0073] Next, a modified example of the treatment unit that can be applied to the massage machine 1 will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0074] In the following variations, the differences from the previously described examples will be explained primarily. Identical structures will be labeled with the same reference numerals, and their descriptions will be omitted or simplified. Furthermore, the effects achieved in the same way as in the previously described examples will also be omitted or simplified. In the following variations, the left and right application units are identical structures; therefore, as in the examples above, where a distinction between left and right is not required, one side will be used as an example for explanation.

[0075] Figure 4 Figures (a) to (d) are schematic representations of one example of the treatment unit 20C of the first modified example.

[0076] In this modified example, a plurality of treatment elements 28 and 29 are also provided on the rotating body 27 of the treatment body 30C. Unlike the examples described above, in this modified example, the plurality of treatment elements 28 and 29 are positioned at different locations along the axis (rotation axis 25) of the rotating body 27. With this structure, treatment can be performed by switching the treatment element 28 or 29 to the appropriate position based on the treated area.

[0077] In this modified example, the rotating body 27 is provided with a first treatment element 28 and a second treatment element 29 as multiple treatment elements. The rotating body 27 is provided with multiple (two in the illustration) support portions 27a and 27c that protrude radially outward from the axial side. In this modified example, the rotating body 27 includes: a first support portion 27a located on the reducer 24 side in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 25; and a second support portion 27c located on the side of the reducer 24 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 25, further away from the reducer 24 than the first support portion 27a.

[0078] These first support plates 27a and second support plates 27c are substantially the same as in the example described above, and are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotating body 27, such that the treatment elements 28 and 29 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. That is, in this modified example, the first treatment element 28 and the second treatment element 29 are arranged such that their respective axes are 180 degrees apart from each other on a circle centered on the rotation axis 25.

[0079] Similar to the examples above, these treatment components 28 and 29 are configured to rotate freely about support shafts 27b and 27d located at the protruding front ends of each support plate 27a and 27c. These support shafts 27b and 27d are arranged parallel to each other, with their axes approximately in the body width direction. These support shafts 27b and 27d are each equidistant from the rotation axis 25.

[0080] In this modified example, the first treatment element 28 and the second treatment element 29 are formed with approximately the same diameter. That is, in this modified example, when the rotating body 27 is rotated to switch the treatment posture, the stimulation applied by each treatment element 28 and 29 is approximately the same, but the stimulation position is different. Alternatively, the first treatment element 28 and the second treatment element 29 can be set with different outer diameters. That is, the treatment posture can also be switched by rotating the rotating body 27, thereby enabling switching between both the applied stimulation and the stimulation position.

[0081] In this modified example, similar to the example above, the motor 23 is driven and controlled by the control unit 10, and the rotating body 27 rotates to an appropriate treatment posture.

[0082] exist Figure 4 In (a) and (b), an example is shown in which the rotating body 27 is rotated to a treatment position where the first treatment member 28 is on the side of the treated part. In this treatment position, treatment can be performed using the first treatment member 28 on the side of the reducer 24 and the lower treatment member 22.

[0083] exist Figure 4 In (c) and (d), examples are shown of a treatment posture in which the rotating body 27 is rotated so that the second treatment member 29 is on the side of the treated part. In this treatment posture, treatment can be performed using the second treatment member 29 on the side away from the reducer 24 and the lower treatment member 22.

[0084] In addition, although the illustration is omitted, the rotating body 27 can be rotated to a treatment posture in which the first treatment member 28 is located above the second treatment member 29 and both of them are on the side of the treated part, or in a treatment posture in which the second treatment member 29 is located above the first treatment member 28 and both of them are on the side of the treated part.

[0085] In this modified example and the examples described above, the rotating bodies 27 and 31 are shown to have two or three treatment elements, but they may also have four or more treatment elements. Furthermore, an example is shown where one or two treatment elements provided on the rotating bodies 27 and 31 can be switched to be the treated area side, but it is also possible to switch to three or more treatment elements being the treated area side. Additionally, different stimulation may be provided by forming the outer periphery of each of the multiple treatment elements provided on the rotating bodies 27 and 31 with materials of different hardness, etc.

[0086] Figure 5 Figures (a) to (c) are schematic representations of one example of the treatment element 20D of the second modified example.

[0087] In this modified example, the rotating body 31A of the treatment body 30D does not have the roller-shaped treatment element described above. In this modified example, the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 31A is formed with multiple stimulation application portions 32A, 33A, 34A, and 34A. In this modified example, the rotating body 31A is elongated in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis 25. In the illustration, viewed in the direction of the rotation axis 25, the rotating body 31A is oval-shaped. The rotating body 31A is provided with a first stimulation application portion 32A on one end in the length direction, a second stimulation application portion 33A on the other end in the length direction, and third stimulation application portions 34A and 34A on both sides in the width direction. The first stimulation application portion 32A is formed as a curved surface shape with a relatively small radius of curvature. The second stimulation application portion 33A is formed as a curved surface shape with a larger radius of curvature than the first stimulation application portion 32A. The third stimulus-giving portions 34A, 34A are formed in a generally flat surface shape in a manner that connects the first stimulus-giving portions 32A and the second stimulus-giving portions 33A. Alternatively, one or both of these third stimulus-giving portions 34A, 34A may be set as a curved surface shape with a radius of curvature larger than that of the second stimulus-giving portion 33A.

[0088] In this modified example, similar to the examples described above, the motor 23 is driven and controlled by the control unit 10, and the rotating body 31A rotates to an appropriate treatment posture.

[0089] exist Figure 5 In (a), an example is shown in which the rotating body 31A is rotated so that the first stimulation delivery part 32A is on the side of the treatment part. In this treatment position, treatment can be performed using the first stimulation delivery part 32A with a relatively small radius of curvature and the lower treatment member 22.

[0090] exist Figure 5 In (b), an example is shown in which the rotating body 31A is rotated so that the second stimulation delivery part 33A is on the side of the treatment part. In this treatment position, treatment can be performed on the second stimulation delivery part 33A and the lower treatment member 22 based on the shape of the abruptly curved surface with a relatively large radius of curvature.

[0091] exist Figure 5 In (c), an example is shown in which the rotating body 31A is rotated so that the third stimulation delivery part 34A is on the side of the treatment part. In this treatment position, treatment can be performed using the generally flat-faced third stimulation delivery part 34A and the lower treatment member 22.

[0092] The shape of the rotating body 31A as viewed in the direction of the rotation axis 25 is not limited to the examples described above; various other modifications are possible. Furthermore, to minimize friction between the outer periphery of the rotating body 31A and the cover of the massage machine 1, the clothing of the person receiving the treatment, etc., an annular belt, a track belt consisting of multiple track plates, multiple rollers, etc., may be provided. Additionally, various protrusions, as described later, may also be provided.

[0093] Figure 6 Figures (a) to (c) are schematic representations of one example of the treatment element 20E of the third modified example.

[0094] In this modified example, the multiple stimulation-applying parts of the treatment body 30E are multiple protrusions 35a and 35b spaced circumferentially on the outer peripheral side of the circular plate-shaped rotating body 35. With this structure, treatment can be applied to the treatment area of ​​the recipient through any one of the multiple protrusions 35a and 35b. In this modified example, the protrusion dimensions of the multiple protrusions 35a and 35b are different. With this structure, treatment can be applied to the treatment area through any one of the protrusions 35a and 35b with different protrusion dimensions.

[0095] The rotating body 35 is formed as a roughly circular plate with the rotation axis 25 as its axis. In this modified example, a plurality of protrusions 35a and 35b are provided so as to protrude radially outward from the outer periphery of the rotating body 35.

[0096] In this modified example, as multiple protrusions 35a and 35b, an example is shown where a first outer protrusion 35a with a relatively large protrusion size and a second outer protrusion 35b with a smaller protrusion size than the first outer protrusion 35a are provided. The front end of the first outer protrusion 35a is curved, and the base end portion is approximately cylindrical. The second outer protrusion 35b is formed into a generally hemispherical shape with an outer diameter at its base end larger than the outer diameter at its base end of the first outer protrusion 35a. These first outer protrusions 35a and second outer protrusions 35b are positioned at an angle of 120 degrees to each other on the circumference centered on the rotation axis 25. That is, these first outer protrusions 35a and second outer protrusions 35b are arranged such that they are biased towards one of the semicircular portions that bisect the rotating body 35. In other words, an example is shown where no protrusion is provided on the other semicircular portion of the rotating body 35.

[0097] In this modified example, similar to the examples described above, the motor 23 is driven and controlled by the control unit 10, and the rotating body 35 rotates to an appropriate treatment posture.

[0098] exist Figure 6In (a), an example is shown in which the rotating body 35 is rotated so that the first outer protrusion 35a is on the side of the treatment area. In this treatment posture, treatment can be performed using the first outer protrusion 35a with a small radius of curvature and a large protrusion size of the front end curved surface shape and the lower treatment member 22.

[0099] exist Figure 6 In (b), an example is shown in which the rotating body 35 is rotated so that the second outer protrusion 35b is on the side of the treatment area. In this treatment posture, treatment can be performed on the second outer protrusion 35b, which has a large radius of curvature and a small protrusion size, and the lower treatment member 22.

[0100] exist Figure 6 In (c), an example is shown where the rotating body 35 is rotated in a treatment posture with the semicircular portion on the side other than the side without the first outer protrusion 35a and the second outer protrusion 35b becoming the treatment area. In this treatment posture, treatment can be performed on the outer periphery of the rotating body 35 and the lower treatment member 22 based on the radius of curvature of the rotating body 35, which is larger than that of the first outer protrusion 35a and the second outer protrusion 35b.

[0101] Figure 7 Figures (a) to (d) are schematic representations of one example of the treatment element 20F of the fourth modified example.

[0102] In this modified example, the plurality of protrusions 35c, 35d, and 35e of the treatment body 30F are positioned at different locations along the rotation axis 25 of the circular plate-shaped rotating body 35A, which is substantially the same as the rotating body 35 in the third modified example described above. With this structure, similar to the first modified example, treatment can be performed by switching the treated part to the appropriate position of the protrusions 35c, 35d, and 35e.

[0103] In this modified example, as a plurality of protrusions 35c, 35d, and 35e projecting radially outward from the outer periphery of the rotating body 35A, an example is shown where a first outer protrusion 35c is provided on the side of the reducer 24, a second outer protrusion 35d is provided at a position further away from the reducer 24 than the first outer protrusion 35c, and a third outer protrusion 35e is provided at a position further away from the reducer 24 than the second outer protrusion 35d. In this modified example, these first outer protrusions 35c, second outer protrusions 35d, and third outer protrusions 35e are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotating body 35A. In this modified example, the front ends of these first outer protrusions 35c, second outer protrusions 35d, and third outer protrusions 35e are formed into a curved surface shape, the base end portions are formed into a generally cylindrical shape, and they are approximately the same size and shape as each other.

[0104] In this modified example, similar to the examples described above, the motor 23 is driven and controlled by the control unit 10, and the rotating body 35A rotates to an appropriate treatment posture.

[0105] exist Figure 7 In (a) and (b), an example of a treatment posture is shown in which the rotating body 35A is rotated so that the second outer protrusion 35d is on the side of the treatment area. In this treatment posture, treatment can be performed using the second outer protrusion 35d, which is located approximately at the center in the direction of the rotation axis 25 of the rotating body 35A, and the lower treatment member 22.

[0106] exist Figure 7 In (c), an example of a treatment posture is shown in which the rotating body 35A is rotated so that the third outer protrusion 35e is on the side of the treatment area. In this treatment posture, treatment can be performed using the third outer protrusion 35e, which is located on the side of the edge away from the reducer 24 in the direction of the rotation axis 25 of the rotating body 35A, and the lower treatment member 22.

[0107] exist Figure 7 In (d), an example is shown in which the rotating body 35A is rotated to the side of the first outer protrusion 35c, which is the treatment part. In this treatment posture, treatment can be performed using the first outer protrusion 35c, which is located on the side of the reducer 24 in the direction of the rotation axis 25 of the rotating body 35A, and the lower treatment member 22.

[0108] Figure 8 Figures (a) to (d) are schematic representations of one example of the treatment unit 20G of the fifth modified example.

[0109] In this modified example, multiple protrusions 35f, 35g, and 35h of the treatment body 30G are circumferentially spaced on the outer periphery of a side facing the direction of the rotation axis 25 of a plate-shaped rotating body 35B that is substantially the same as the rotating body 35 in the third modified example described above. These protrusions 35f, 35g, and 35h are arranged to protrude from one side of the rotating body 35B towards the direction of the rotation axis 25. In this modified example, as three protrusions 35f, 35g, and 35h with different protrusion sizes, an example is shown where a first transverse protrusion 35f with a smaller protrusion size, a second transverse protrusion 35g with a larger protrusion size than the first transverse protrusion 35f, and a third transverse protrusion 35h with a protrusion size further larger than the second transverse protrusion 35g are provided. These protrusions 35f, 35g, and 35h are circumferentially spaced at equal intervals.

[0110] The front ends of the first lateral protrusion 35f, the second lateral protrusion 35g, and the third lateral protrusion 35h are curved surfaces, while the base ends are approximately cylindrical. In this modified example, the outer diameter of the first lateral protrusion 35f is relatively small, the outer diameter of the second lateral protrusion 35g is larger than that of the first lateral protrusion 35f, and the outer diameter of the third lateral protrusion 35h is larger than that of the second lateral protrusion 35g. The illustration shows an example where the first lateral protrusion 35f, the second lateral protrusion 35g, and the third lateral protrusion 35h are formed into approximately similar shapes, but this is not an exclusive example.

[0111] In addition, the left and right treatment bodies 30A and 30B can also be set so that the various protrusions 35f, 35g and 35h are in opposite directions.

[0112] In this modified example, similar to the examples described above, the motor 23 is driven and controlled by the control unit 10 to rotate the rotating body 35B into an appropriate treatment posture.

[0113] exist Figure 8 In (a) and (b), an example is shown in which the rotating body 35B is rotated so that the first transverse protrusion 35f is on the side of the treatment area. In this treatment posture, treatment can be performed using the first transverse protrusion 35f with its small protrusion size and outer diameter and the lower treatment member 22.

[0114] exist Figure 8 In (c), an example is shown in which the rotating body 35B is rotated to the position where the second transverse protrusion 35g is on the side of the treatment area. In this treatment position, treatment can be performed on the second transverse protrusion 35g and the lower treatment member 22, which are larger in size and outer diameter than the first transverse protrusion 35f.

[0115] exist Figure 8 In (d), an example is shown in which the rotating body 35B is rotated to the side of the third transverse protrusion 35h, which is the side to be treated. In this treatment posture, treatment can be performed using the third transverse protrusion 35h, whose protrusion size and outer diameter are larger than those of the second transverse protrusion 35g, and the lower treatment member 22.

[0116] Figure 9 (a) and (b) are schematic diagrams illustrating one example of the treatment unit 20H of the sixth modified example.

[0117] In this modified example, the rotating body 35C of the treatment body 30H is configured to have the same first lateral protrusion 35a and second lateral protrusion 35b as in the third modified example, and the same first transverse protrusion 35f, second transverse protrusion 35g, and third transverse protrusion 35h as in the fifth modified example. With this structure, in addition to the same switching posture as in the third modified example, the rotating body 35C can be rotated in the same switching posture as in the fifth modified example to perform various treatments.

[0118] Figure 9 (c) and (d) are schematic diagrams illustrating one example of the treatment unit 20I of the seventh modified example.

[0119] In this modified example, the plurality of protrusions 37, 38, and 39 of the treatment body 30I are configured to rotate freely relative to a circular plate-shaped rotating body 35D, which is substantially the same as the rotating body 35 in the third modified example described above. With this structure, as described above, friction between the cover of the massage machine 1, the clothing of the person receiving the treatment, and the protrusions 37, 38, and 39 is minimized, allowing for smooth movement.

[0120] In this modified example, as a plurality of protrusions 37, 38, and 39 protruding radially outward from the outer periphery of the rotating body 35D, an example is shown that has a first outer protrusion 37 with a smaller protrusion size and a smaller circumferential size, a second outer protrusion 38 with a larger protrusion size and a larger circumferential size than the first outer protrusion 37, and a third outer protrusion 39 with a larger protrusion size and a larger circumferential size than the second outer protrusion 38.

[0121] In this modified example, the first outer protrusion 37, the second outer protrusion 38, and the third outer protrusion 39 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotating body 35D.

[0122] In this modified example, the first outer protrusion 37, the second outer protrusion 38, and the third outer protrusion 39 are formed in the portion of the circular plate-shaped body that protrudes from the rotating body 35D. The circular plate-shaped body is configured to rotate freely about parallel support shafts 36, 36, 36, whose axial direction is approximately the width of the body. That is, the circular plate-shaped body constituting the second outer protrusion 38 is formed with a larger diameter than the circular plate-shaped body constituting the first outer protrusion 37, and the circular plate-shaped body constituting the third outer protrusion 39 is formed with a larger diameter than the circular plate-shaped body constituting the second outer protrusion 38.

[0123] The support shafts 36, 36, 36 of the first outer protrusion 37, the second outer protrusion 38, and the third outer protrusion 39 are circumferentially spaced at equal intervals on the outer periphery of the rotating body 35D, and are respectively arranged at equal distances from the rotation axis 25.

[0124] In this modified example, similar to the examples described above, the motor 23 is driven and controlled by the control unit 10 to rotate the rotating body 35D into an appropriate treatment posture.

[0125] exist Figure 9 In (c) and (d), examples are shown of a treatment posture in which the rotating body 35D is rotated so that the first outer protrusion 37 is on the side of the treatment area. In this treatment posture, treatment can be performed on the first outer protrusion 37 and the lower treatment member 22, which are small in both protrusion size and circumferential size. Furthermore, although not shown in the figures, if the rotating body 35D is rotated so that the second outer protrusion 38 is on the side of the treatment area, treatment can be performed on the second outer protrusion 38 and the lower treatment member 22, which are larger in both protrusion size and circumferential size than the first outer protrusion 37. Additionally, although not shown in the figures, if the rotating body 35D is rotated so that the third outer protrusion 39 is on the side of the treatment area, treatment can be performed on the third outer protrusion 39 and the lower treatment member 22, which are larger in both protrusion size and circumferential size than the second outer protrusion 38.

[0126] In the examples described above, an example is shown where the rotation axis 25 of the rotating bodies 27, 31, 31A, 35, 35A to 35D is approximately set in the body width direction, but it could also be set in the approximately body length direction or the approximately body thickness direction. When the axis of rotation 25 is set in the approximately body length direction, it can also be configured such that the reference... Figure 2 The treatment components 32, 33, and 34 of the rotating body 31 described above, the treatment components 28 and 29 of the rotating body 27 in the first modified example, and the protrusions 37, 38, and 39 of the rotating body 35D in the seventh modified example are configured to rotate freely about an axis orthogonal to the rotation axis 25 of the rotating bodies 31, 27, and 35D along the body width direction. Alternatively, when the axis of rotation axis 25 is set approximately in the body thickness direction, the same protrusions protruding towards the patient can be provided on the surface of the rotating body facing the patient. In this case, the rotating axis 25 can be positioned eccentrically relative to the axis of rotation of the rotating body. Furthermore, such protrusions, as described in the third to seventh modified examples above, can be part of a spherical body rotatably disposed relative to the ball bearing portion of the rotating body. That is, the protrusions can also be constructed from a so-called free ball bearing. Based on this structure, similar to the above, it is possible to minimize friction between the cover covering the massage machine 1, the clothing of the person receiving the treatment, and the protrusion, allowing it to move smoothly.

[0127] Alternatively, the different structures described in the above examples can be reorganized or combined for application.

[0128] In addition, among the examples described above, an example is shown in which the treatment body 30, 30A to 30I, including the rotating bodies 27, 31, 31A, 35, 35A to 35D, is mainly provided in the treatment unit 12 for treating the back or waist. However, it is not limited to such an example and may also be configured to be provided in the treatment area for treating the head, arms, buttocks, legs, etc.

[0129] The structure and treatment mode of each part of the massage machine 1 constituting this embodiment are not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications can be made thereto.
