  The present invention relates to a massager.

  A conventional massager includes a housing, a diaphragm sliding on the upper surface of the housing, and a motor installed in the housing, and the housing is a diaphragm by rotational movement of a crankshaft interlocked with the motor It vibrates on the upper surface of (For example, refer patent document 1).

JP-A-3-75061

Currently, there is a need for a massager to reduce its thickness. This need is mainly from the elderly, and is considered to be used while sleeping in a futon as an application.
In addition, massagers have a need for weight reduction. This need arises from the way in which users attempt to apply a massager to a specific part of their body. Specifically, when the user places a massager on a specific part of his body, the need is to move the massager instead of moving the position of his body to move the massager. It originates in trying to put a massage machine on a part often. In other words, if the weight of the massage device is heavy, it will be difficult to move, so it will be difficult for the user to hit the massage device on a specific part of his body.

  The structure to make the massager thinner is not the conventional structure as shown in Patent Document 1 in which the diaphragm and the motor are vertically arranged, but the diaphragm and the motor are placed on the bottom plate to make the diaphragm and the motor It can be considered that the and are arranged side by side on the bottom plate.

  However, if this is done, the distance between the motor's rotary shaft and the diaphragm will be long, so a large torque will be applied to the power transmission mechanism consisting of a crank mechanism etc. that transmits power from the motor to the diaphragm. . Therefore, since the power transmission mechanism needs to be strong enough to withstand the large torque, the weight is increased by the strong portion. In addition, since the motor also needs a large motor capable of outputting such a large torque, the weight is increased by the increased size.

As described above, since the weight of the massager decreases as the thickness decreases, it has been difficult to meet the two requirements of reducing the thickness and reducing the weight.
Then, an object of this invention is to provide a lightweight and thin massage device.

The massager of the present disclosure is a bottom plate (2), a diaphragm sliding on the upper surface of the bottom plate, and a diaphragm (3) formed in a long plate shape, a drive unit (6), and the vibration. Above the portion of the upper surface of the plate located on one end side in the longitudinal direction, the support portion (5) supporting the drive portion with the bottom plate as a base and the diaphragm slide on the upper surface of the bottom plate to vibrate Power transmission unit (7) for transmitting the power of the drive unit to the diaphragm via the portion directly below the drive unit on the upper surface of the diaphragm, and vibrating the diaphragm from the support unit It is characterized in that it is equipped with a hanging part (8) that can be hung .

  In this massager, the diaphragm is mounted on the bottom plate, and the drive portion supported by the support portion is disposed above the portion of the top surface of the diaphragm positioned on one end side in the longitudinal direction. It has a portion on which the diaphragm simply rests, and a portion on which the driving portion is disposed further above the diaphragm. Of these, the portion where the diaphragm is simply placed on the bottom plate is the portion where a person places the body on the diaphragm when it is desired to receive a massage, and this portion is the thickness of only the bottom plate and the diaphragm overlapped. As a result, in this massager, the thickness of the portion on which the person puts the body on the diaphragm is very thin compared to the massager in which the drive unit is disposed between them.

  On the other hand, since this massager has a structure in which the diaphragm is arranged also in the portion where the drive unit is arranged, the diaphragm is larger than in the case where the diaphragm and the motor are arranged side by side on the bottom plate. It needs to be used. However, when the diaphragm and the motor are arranged side by side on the bottom plate, it is necessary to use a motor or the like which is heavier than that in which the diaphragm and the motor are arranged vertically as in the massager of the present invention. As a result, the weight is greatly increased. That is, even if the diaphragm is increased in size, the increase in weight of the entire massaging device is much smaller than when using a heavy motor or the like. Therefore, this massaging device can be much lighter than when the diaphragm and the motor are installed side by side.

Therefore, if comprised as mentioned above, a lightweight and thin massage device can be provided.
In addition, when the above-mentioned suspension is provided, the distance between the drive unit and the diaphragm can be kept constant without separation, so that the massager can stabilize the power of the drive unit to the diaphragm. I can tell.
Incidentally, the dynamic force transmitting portion may be one for transmitting power by a crank mechanism to the diaphragm from the drive unit.

The bottom plate comprises a lower plate (20) and an upper plate (21) stacked on the upper surface of the lower plate and having a surface that is more slippery than the lower plate, and sliding the diaphragm on the upper surface of the upper plate May be. In this case, the diaphragm is more easily slid than when the diaphragm is simply disposed on the bottom plate, so that a driving unit with a smaller driving force, that is, a compact driving unit can be used. Therefore, further weight reduction can be achieved when configured as the massage device of the present invention.

Ma Ssaji instrument, of the upper surface of the vibration plate, may have a structure having a cushion portion which human a portion excluding the one longitudinal end is laminated on the portion for mounting the body (4). This is because the burden on the person is reduced compared to when the body is placed on a hard diaphragm.

Cushions unit may comprise a heater (40). According to this, since the cushion is heated by the heater unit, a person can put a portion which wants to be massaged on the diaphragm without feeling cold.

Ma Ssaji instrument, control unit for controlling the operation of the driving unit (90), is connected with the control unit and the wired or wireless, when accepting an operation of a person, which transmits a control signal corresponding to the operation to the control unit operation The control unit may control the drive unit to perform an operation according to the control signal. According to this, a person can perform an operation of vibrating or stopping the vibrating unit at hand by using the transmitting unit.

The supporting lifting unit covers the driving unit and the power transmission unit may use a case portion for covering the one longitudinal end of the vibrating plate. When this case part is used, the drive part and the power transmission part can not be touched from the outside, so that it is possible to prevent a person from touching the drive part or the power transmission part and causing injury.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown to FIG. 1 (A)-FIG.1 (C), the massage device 1 of this embodiment is provided with the baseplate 2, the diaphragm 3, the cushion part 4, and the case 5. As shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the massager 1 of the present embodiment includes a motor 6, a crank mechanism 7, a hanging portion 8, a controller 90, and a remote controller 91.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the bottom plate 2 is formed in a long plate shape, is stacked on the lower plate 20 made of melamine board, and the upper surface of the lower plate 20, and has a surface that is more slippery than the lower plate 20. And a plate 21. However, the upper plate 21 is not stacked on the portion 2 a which is one end side of the lower plate 20 in the longitudinal direction and is covered by the case 5. Moreover, although the upper board 21 is formed with the polypropylene, it does not restrict to this.

  The diaphragm 3 is formed of a honeycomb board formed in a long plate shape, and the length in the longitudinal direction is shorter than that of the bottom plate 2 and the length in the width direction is shorter than that of the bottom plate 2 It is done. Further, a reinforcing cover 30 is attached to one end side of the vibrating plate 3 in the longitudinal direction and a portion stored in the case 5. When the diaphragm 3 is placed on the top surface of the bottom plate 2, the bottom plate 2 includes the top plate 21 and slides on the top surface of the bottom plate 2.

  The cushion portion 4 is stacked on the upper surface of the portion of the diaphragm 3 to which the reinforcing cover 30 is not attached. The cushion portion 4 has a two-layered structure of upper and lower layers, and a heater 40 formed in a planar shape is stacked between these layers.

  The case 5 is fixed on the upper surface of the portion 2 a of the lower plate 20 of the bottom plate 2 where the upper plate 21 is not stacked, using a plurality of screws. The case 5 is a transmission surface portion which is a part of the upper surface of the diaphragm 3 and above the transmission surface portion located on one end side in the longitudinal direction of the diaphragm 3, that is, above the portion to which the reinforcing cover 30 is attached. The base plate 2 is formed to support the motor 6. In addition, the case 5 is partially opened so that the portion of the diaphragm 3 which is not covered by the reinforcing cover 30 is positioned outside the case 5 when the reinforcing cover 30 is positioned in the case 5 (Not shown).

  The motor 6 is fixed above the reinforcing cover 30. Specifically, the motor 6 is fixed to the inner surface of the case 5 above the reinforcing cover 30 by screwing. At this time, the motor 6 is fixed to the case 5 so that the rotation shaft is directed downward.

  The crank mechanism 7 includes a cylindrical eccentric frame 70 fixed to the rotation shaft of the motor 6 and a cylindrical crank receiver 71 fixed to the upper surface of the reinforcing cover 30. Among them, the crank receiving portion 71 is attached to the rotation shaft of the motor 6 such that the center axis of the cylinder and the rotation shaft of the motor 6 are separated by a fixed distance. On the other hand, the crank receiving portion 71 is a central portion of the upper surface of the reinforcing cover 30 in the longitudinal direction (width direction of the diaphragm 3) and the reinforcing cover 30 is attached from the center in the width direction along the longitudinal direction of the diaphragm 3 The diaphragm 3 is fixed at a position slightly close to the end side of the diaphragm 3. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3H, in the crank mechanism 7, when the motor 6 is driven, the eccentric piece 70 pushes the crank receiving portion 71 back and forth and right and left. That is, in the present embodiment, the motor 6 is driven, and the operation of the eccentric frame portion 70 pushing the crank receiving portion 71 back and forth and right and left vibrates the diaphragm 3 back and forth and left and right. Vibrates. In the present embodiment, since the diaphragm 3 slides on the upper surface of the bottom plate 2, the diaphragm 3 vibrates while sliding on the bottom plate 2.

  The hanging portion 8 is constituted by four rubber leg inserts 80 as shown in FIG. The rubber leg insert 80 is composed of a rubber main body 81 formed in a cylindrical shape and a screw 82 erected from each circular surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the rubber main body 81. Is extended along the axial direction of the rubber main body 81 from the center portion of each circular surface. The rubber leg inserts 80 are screwed into the diaphragm 3 with the screw portion on the lower side (one side in the axial direction) of the hanging portion 8 on the upper surface of the reinforcing cover 30 and at an equal distance from the crank receiving portion 71. It is fixed. Specifically, among the two rubber leg inserts 80, the two rubber leg inserts 80 are erected in the vicinity of both corners of the end of the diaphragm 3 on the one end side in the longitudinal direction. The remaining two rubber foot inserts 80 are erected at a predetermined distance from the rubber foot inserts 80 erected near the above-mentioned corners along the longitudinal direction of the diaphragm 3. The hanging portion 8 screws the screw portion on the upper side (the other side in the axial direction) of the hanging portion 8 against the upper inner surface of the case 5 to suspend the diaphragm 3 relative to the case 5. As shown in FIGS. 3 (A) to 3 (H), when the motor 6 is driven, the diaphragm 3 vibrates back and forth and right and left of the upper and lower screw portions as shown in FIGS. Since the position shifts, this shift is absorbed.

  The control unit 90 is installed on the side surface of the front side of the case 5 (one end side of the bottom plate 2 in the longitudinal direction and the direction in which the case 5 is attached). A power switch, an operation switch for a timer (not shown), and the like are attached to control the motor 6.

  The remote controller 91 is connected to the control unit 90 in a wired manner, and includes a plurality of push buttons 910 for receiving human operations. When a person operates the push button 910, the remote controller 91 transmits control signals (signals instructing vibration start, vibration stop, speed increase and decrease of vibration, etc.) corresponding to the push button 910 to the control unit 90. The control unit 90 performs control according to the control signal to the motor 6 to execute control to vibrate the diaphragm 3 quickly or slowly. The remote controller 91 may be equipped with an operation switch for timer.

The massage device 1 described above exhibits the following characteristic effects.
In the massager 1 of the present embodiment, the diaphragm 3 is mounted on the bottom plate 2 and the motor 6 supported by the case 5 is disposed above one end side in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface of the diaphragm 3. It has a portion where the diaphragm 3 simply rests on the bottom plate 2 and a portion where the motor 6 is disposed above the diaphragm 3. Among them, the portion where the diaphragm 3 is simply placed on the bottom plate 2 is the portion where a person places the body on the diaphragm 3 when wanting to receive a massage, and this portion is a portion of the bottom plate 2 and the diaphragm 3 Since the thickness is such that the body is stacked, the thickness of the portion where the person puts the body on the diaphragm 3 becomes very thin compared to the massager in which the motor is disposed between them.

  On the other hand, since this massaging device 1 has a structure in which the diaphragm 3 is also disposed at the portion where the motor 6 is disposed, the diaphragm 3 is larger than the diaphragm 3 and the motor 6 arranged side by side. It is necessary to use 3. However, when the diaphragm 3 and the motor 6 are disposed side by side, a motor or the like that is heavier than that in which the diaphragm 3 and the motor 6 are vertically disposed as in the massager 1 of the present embodiment is used. As a result, the weight is greatly increased. That is, even if the diaphragm 3 is increased in size, the increase in weight of the entire massage device is much smaller than when using a heavy motor or the like. Therefore, the massaging device 1 can be much lighter than when the diaphragm 3 and the motor 6 are installed side by side on the bottom plate 2.

  The massaging device 1 of the present embodiment uses the bottom plate 2 as the bottom plate 2 and the upper plate 21 stacked on the upper surface of the lower plate 20 and having a surface that is more slippery than the lower plate 20. Then, in the massager 1 of the present embodiment, the diaphragm 3 is slid on the upper surface of the upper plate 21. In this case, since the diaphragm 3 slides more easily than simply disposing the diaphragm 3 on the bottom plate 2, a motor having a weaker driving force, that is, a smaller motor can be used. Therefore, further weight reduction can be achieved when configured as the massage device 1 of the present embodiment.

  In the massager 1 of the present embodiment, the cushion portion 4 is stacked on a portion of the diaphragm 3 on which a person is placed. When the body is placed directly on the diaphragm 3, the portion on which the body is placed may be painful because the diaphragm 3 is hard, but such a thing can be suppressed by using the cushion portion 4.

  In the massager 1 of the present embodiment, the cushion portion 4 incorporates the heater 40, and the cushion portion 4 is warmed by the heater 40. Therefore, a person receives a massage on the diaphragm 3 without feeling cold. You can put the part you want.

  In the massager 1 of the present embodiment, when the remote control 91 is operated, the control unit 90 performs control according to the operation on the motor 6 to vibrate the diaphragm 3 slowly or vibrate quickly, etc. Can perform various types of massages. Therefore, the massage device 1 of the present embodiment can execute various types of massages by a person operating the remote control 91 at hand.

In the massager 1 of the present embodiment, since the case 5 covers the motor 6 and the crank mechanism 7, it is possible to prevent a person from touching them and causing injury.
In the massager 1 of the present embodiment, since the diaphragm 3 is suspended by the suspending portion 8, the motor 6 and the diaphragm 3 do not separate from each other. Therefore, in the massager 1 of the present embodiment, the distance between the motor 6 and the diaphragm 3 is kept constant, so that the power of the motor 6 can be stably transmitted to the diaphragm 3.
