DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0009]
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a chair type massage device, and this chair type massage device 10 includes a seat portion 11, a backrest portion 12, armrest portions 13 </ b> A and 13 </ b> B, and an ottoman 14.
[0010]
The seat portion 11 is provided with an airbag 15 for the buttocks and an electric floor belt 23 for emitting negative ions. The electrocardiographic zone 23 performs potential treatment by emitting negative ions, and has a massage function called potential treatment.
[0011]
The backrest 12 is provided with a waist airbag 16, a back mechanical massager 21, and a heater 22 for warming the waist. The heater 22 has a massage function by warming the waist.
[0012]
The mechanical massage machine 21 has rollers 21A and 21B that move in the vertical direction, and performs massage by moving these rollers 21A and 21B along the back muscles of the human body.
[0013]
The ottoman 14 is provided with calf airbags 17 to 20 and a vibrator 24 as shown in FIG. That is, the ottoman 14 is formed with U-shaped treatment recesses 14A and 14B that can accommodate the user's lower limbs individually, and the airbags 17 to 20 are provided on both side surfaces of the recesses 14A and 14B. Yes. Each airbag 17-20 performs a massage by the expansion and contraction. The vibrator 24 is provided between the recesses 14A and 14B, and the vibrator 24 applies massage stimulation to the lower limbs in the treatment recesses 14A and 14B to perform massage.
[0014]
And the airbags 15-20, the heater 22, the electric floor belt 23, and the vibrator 24 each have a different massage function.
[0015]
Reference numeral 25 denotes a driving device disposed under the seat portion 11 of the chair type massage device 10. The driving device 25 has a supply / exhaust portion (not shown) for inflating and contracting the airbags 15 to 20, and a mechanical massage. It has a control unit (not shown) for controlling the operations of the rollers 21A and 21B, vibrator 24, electric floor belt 23, heater 22 and the like of the machine 21.
[0016]
FIG. 3 shows a remote control device (remote control) 30 used for the massage device 10. The remote control 30 can be stored in a pocket (not shown) provided on the armrest portion 13A.
[0017]
The remote controller 30 sets the power switch 31, the air massage setting switch section 32, the mechanical massage setting switch section 33, the vibrator setting switch 34, the potential treatment setting switch 35, the heater setting switch 36, the timer mode setting switch 39, and the timer time. A time setting switch 40 and a time schedule display unit 37 are provided.
[0018]
The air massage setting switch unit 32 sequentially selects massage courses by the airbags 15 to 20 by pressing the operation button 32A. Further, the air massage setting switch unit 32 sequentially designates the legs, buttocks, waists, etc. by pressing the operation button 32B. Furthermore, the massage by the airbags 15 to 20 can be performed by pressing the operation button 32C, and the massage is stopped by the second operation.
[0019]
The mechanical massage setting switch 33 sequentially selects massage courses such as a neck and a back by the mechanical massage machine 21 by pressing the operation button 33A. Further, the mechanical massage setting switch 33 is used to designate points on the neck and back by pressing the operation button 33B. Then, the massage by the mechanical massage machine 21 can be performed by pressing the operation button 33C, and the massage is stopped by the second operation.
[0020]
Each time the timer mode setting switch 39 is pressed, air massage, mechanical massage, vibrator, potential treatment, and heater are sequentially selected (a lamp (not shown) is lit so that the selected one can be seen) A timer can be set for the selected item. For example, when the air massage is selected by operating the timer mode setting switch 39, the start time and end time of the air massage can be set by operating the time setting switch 40.
[0021]
The start time and end time can be set in the same way for mechanical massage, vibrator, electric potential treatment, and heater.
[0022]
On the time schedule display part 37, it has the scale part 37A which graduated time from the left to the right. The scale portion 37A is graduated in increments of 1 minute up to 15 minutes, then graduated in 30 minutes, and thereafter in increments of 1 hour up to 8 hours.
[0023]
In addition, at the left end of the time schedule display section 37, items 37B to 37F of “air massage”, “mechanical massage”, “vibrator”, “potential treatment”, and “heater” indicating each massage function are arranged in this order from the top. The time schedule is displayed on the left side of the items 37B to 37F in a Gantt chart.
[0024]
Here, as an example, air massage and mechanical massage are 15 minutes from the start, vibrator is 5 minutes from the start, heater is 8 hours from the start, and electric potential treatment starts from the end of the air massage for 2 hours and 30 minutes This is shown by bars 37b, 37c, 37d, 37e, and 37f.
[0025]
Thus, since the time schedule of each massage is displayed in a Gantt chart, the time schedule can be understood at a glance and which massage is performed from which point of time can be clearly understood. In addition, the time from when the massage is started to the end time is indicated by the length of the bar, so that the time during which the massage is performed can be sensibly recognized.
[0026]
FIG. 4 shows a mark (indicator) 37G indicating the time point on the time schedule on the Gantt chart along the scale portion 37A. By this mark 37G, it is possible to confirm to which point the set massage has advanced on the time schedule. Note that the mark 37G may be blinked.
[0027]
FIG. 5 shows the time schedule display unit 37 of the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, the current time is made to coincide with zero of the scale portion 37A and the time schedule is displayed in a Gantt chart, and the subsequent schedule can be understood at a glance. FIG. 5 shows an example in which 7 minutes have elapsed from the time schedule shown in FIG.
[0028]
Further, according to the second embodiment, the time is graduated in increments of 1 minute at the portion close to the current time (zero), so it is possible to accurately determine what massage is to be performed next.
[0029]
In the said embodiment, although the chair type massage apparatus was demonstrated, it is not restricted to this, For example, a mat type massage apparatus may be sufficient. Further, although the description has been given of the case where the time schedule display unit 37 is provided on the remote controller, the display unit 37 may be provided, for example, on the armrest unit 13A.
[0030]
