BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a massage machine having an automatic treatment function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There is a massage machine having an automatic treatment function for sequentially executing a plurality of different massage operations in a procedure according to a preset program, but a massage machine having this kind of automatic treatment function is not available. The pre-prepared programs are for everyone and do not suit the personal preferences and symptoms of stiffness. For this reason, even in a conventional massage machine with an automatic treatment function, if a strength adjustment switch or a speed adjustment switch is operated while performing a course massage using the automatic treatment function, the massage operation during execution is performed. It is possible to perform strength adjustment and speed adjustment, but this adjustment is effective only for the massage operation that is being performed, and if you move to the massage operation of the next step during the course massage, It returned to a certain intensity and speed.

[0003]

In this case, for example, for a person who likes a strong and fast massage in general and a person who likes a weak and slow massage on the contrary, it is necessary to adjust the strength and speed every time the massage operation is shifted. If you have to do the adjustment operation, especially if you prefer a weak and slow massage, when the massage operation shifts, the stimulation is too strong because it is stronger and faster than you like .

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a massage machine that can easily make a course massage using an automatic treatment function a favorite. is there.

The second feature is that a strength change switch for changing the strength of is provided.

When the speed change switch or the intensity change switch is operated, the speed change or the intensity change is effective for all the massage operations of the automatic treatment, so that the change switch needs to be operated only once.

[0007] A temporary storage means for storing the speed change value or the change value of the intensity until after the end of the massage operation is provided, and a new automatic treatment course is created based on the change value stored in the temporary storage means. With the storage and storage means for generating and storing, it is possible to register a course massage composed of a massage operation desired by the user. At this time, it is preferable to provide a display unit for displaying the completion of storage in the storage unit.

According to the present invention, in a massage machine with an automatic treatment function for sequentially performing a massage operation including a tap massage in a procedure according to a preset program, the tap massage operation is changed to another type of massage operation. A third feature is that a change switch is provided. When the tapping massage operation is not preferred, the massage treatment can be replaced with another type of massage operation to receive automatic treatment.

The fourth feature is that a switch is provided. It is possible to receive automatic treatment that can receive many favorite massage operations.

Also in this case, if a storage means for generating and storing a new automatic treatment course based on all massage operations including repetitive operations is provided, a course massage consisting of a massage operation desired by the user is provided. Can be registered.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to an example of an embodiment. The mechanical structure of a massage machine may be of any type.
As in the massage mechanism disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 9496, etc., a massage massage and a tapping massage can be given to an arbitrary position such as a neck line, a shoulder, and a waist on the back of a human body, and a treatment child is brought into contact with the human body. In addition to providing rolling massage (rubbing massage) that moves the treatment element along the human body, the intensity of each massage can be adjusted, and the massage operation speed can be changed by changing the motor speed by controlling the duty ratio. Anything that can be changed may be used.

In the automatic treatment function, a table in which parameters such as the type of massage operation, the operation position, the intensity, and the speed are arranged in the order of steps is stored in a storage device such as an EEPROM. It can be obtained by reading the table in the order of steps and causing the massage mechanism to execute an operation according to the parameter.

Here, when the switch for instructing the automatic course massage is operated by the operating device, in the present invention, the entire table is temporarily transferred from the storage and storage means to the temporary storage means including the RAM, and temporarily stored. The pointer is moved to the first step of the table on the storage means, and the massage mechanism of the first step is performed by the massage mechanism. When the massage operation is completed, the pointer is moved to the second step, and the massage of the second step is performed. By causing the massage mechanism to perform the operation, the massage operation of each step is sequentially performed.

If the "fast" or "slow" speed change switch provided on the operating device is operated during the execution of the automatic course massage, the control circuit performs all steps in the table on the temporary storage means. Rewrite the speed parameter (or the step executed when the speed change switch is pressed and the subsequent steps). For example, if the "fast" speed change switch is pressed, the speed parameter is incremented by one, and if the "slow" speed change switch is operated, the speed parameter is set to minus one or minus two. .

Since the speed of the massage operation to be executed is determined by the value of the speed parameter on the table, all the massage operations to be executed after the time when the speed change switch is operated are performed at the changed speed. Will be done.

In addition, even if the intensity of the massage operation is changed,
Similarly, if the intensity change switch provided on the operation device is operated, all the steps in the table on the temporary storage means (or the step executed when the intensity change switch is pressed and the subsequent steps) Is rewritten to a value corresponding to an operation of increasing or decreasing the intensity change switch so that the subsequent massage operation is executed with the changed intensity.

However, as for the strength, simply setting the parameter to plus or minus 1 may make it difficult to set an appropriate strength for each massage operation. For example, parameters corresponding to three levels of strength are set in advance, and an instruction bit indicating which parameter to select is included, and rewriting by operating a strength change switch is performed for the instruction bit. Good.

Further, in the case where the tapping massage operation is included in the automatic course massage operation, when the user does not like the tapping massage, it is painful to receive the massage using the automatic treatment function. In order to deal with this point, a switch of "tapping nothing" is provided on the operating device, and after the automatic course massage operation is started, or after the operation of the "tapping nothing" switch, the automatic course massage operation is selected. When the switch is operated, it is preferable that all the steps of the tapping massage operation on the table transferred from the storage unit to the temporary storage unit be replaced with another massage operation, for example, a fir massage operation. . An automatic course massage operation that does not include a tapping massage operation can be obtained.

Further, if a comfortable massage operation is performed during the automatic course massage operation, it is often desired to extend the time during which the massage operation is performed. Providing a switch for instructing, if the switch is operated, the same step as the step corresponding to the currently executing massage operation on the table transferred from the memory storage means to the temporary storage means is referred to as the next step. When the massage operation of the current step is completed or the switch is pressed, the pointer may be moved to the insertion step to perform the massage operation of the insertion step.

The table on the temporary storage means is rewritten in response to the operation of the speed change switch, the intensity change switch, the "hitless" switch, or the "repeated" switch. The table is held in the temporary storage means even when the automatic course massage operation is completed, and if the "register" switch provided on the operating device is pressed, the table with the above changes is stored in an EEPROM. When the "memory course" switch provided on the operation device is pressed, the rewritten table is transferred from the storage and storage unit to the temporary storage unit. By performing an automatic course massage operation based on the table, the user can select a desired massage operation. It is possible to obtain a reliably. When the changed table is transferred and stored in the storage means such as an EEPROM, the "complete" display provided on the operation device is illuminated so that the registration operation is completed for the user. Can recognize
It becomes easy to use.
