Definitions
- the present invention relates to a roller pine surge mechanism capable of performing various massage operations on a human body, and a massage device incorporating the mechanism.
- the bed-type massage device has a roller massage mechanism that moves in the longitudinal direction of the bed, and the massage mechanism is directed in the width direction of the bed and moves in the longitudinal direction.
- a pair of left and right massage rollers that are provided to be inclined with respect to the direction of the axis of the rotation shaft, and whose inclination directions are opposite to each other.
- the above-mentioned placement type massage device includes a roller massage mechanism in a small placement type casing having an opening opening upward.
- the roller massage mechanism in this case includes a rotating shaft rotatably supported by the casing, a pair of left and right disc-shaped massage rollers provided at a position in the middle of the rotating shaft and corresponding to the opening.
- the pair of left and right massage rollers are also provided so as to be inclined with respect to the axial direction of the rotating shaft so that the inclination directions are opposite to each other.
- the pair of left and right massage rollers are fixed to the rotating shaft in a state where the inclination directions are opposite to each other. Since the direction of inclination of the roller with respect to the rotation axis cannot be changed relatively, only massaging massage can be performed.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a roller massage mechanism capable of performing a massage operation other than massaging pine surge without significantly complicating the structure, and a massage device incorporating the mechanism. I do.
- the roller massage mechanism of the present invention is a massage mechanism of a type in which a pair of left and right massage rollers is provided at an intermediate portion of the rotating shaft so as to be inclined with respect to the axial direction thereof.
- Switching means are provided for switching between a kneading posture in which the inclination directions are opposite to each other and a non-kneading posture in which the inclination directions are the same.
- the specific structure of the switching means is not particularly limited, for example, a mechanical structure (for example, a half-rotation clutch unit to be described later) that changes the posture of the massage roller in accordance with the switching of the rotation direction of the rotating shaft is used. Can be adopted.
- the outer peripheral portion of each massage roller moves the contact point of the affected part left and right while maintaining a predetermined interval.
- a massage operation other than a massage massage can be obtained.
- the present invention further provides a pair of left and right massage rollers that are eccentric with respect to the rotation shaft such that a portion closer to the other massage roller is farther from the rotation shaft than a portion farther from the roller. Is recommended.
- the change in the number of rotations of the rotating shaft as described above is implemented by incorporating a function capable of changing the rotating speed of the rotating shaft in at least two stages in the driving means when the pair of left and right massage rollers are in the non-rubbing posture. be able to.
- the rotating shaft includes a first shaft portion that supports one mass roller, and a second shaft portion that supports the other massage roller and is arranged coaxially with the first shaft portion.
- the switching means can be constituted by a half-rotation clutch unit that restricts the range in which the first shaft unit and the second shaft unit rotate relative to each other to substantially half a rotation.
- the pine surge roller can be switched to either the kneading posture or the non-kneading posture by simply rotating or reversing the rotational driving direction of the driving means, so that the posture switching control of the mass surge roller can be performed extremely easily.

If the relative rotation is performed too freely, the pressure on the massage roller from the affected part causes the driven shaft to rotate relative to the drive shaft without permission, and the kneading posture or non-kneading posture momentarily collapses. In some cases, both massage rollers may rotate and proper massage operation may not be performed.
- the brake member prevents the second shaft from rotating relative to the first shaft. It is possible to prevent a change in the inclination direction of the massage roller on the driven side from disturbing the kneading posture or the non-kneading posture, and the massage can be performed with both massage rollers maintained in the proper kneading posture or the non-kneading posture.
- a pair of left and right massage rollers is preferably rotatably connected to the rotating shaft in order to prevent unnecessarily friction on the affected part and the cover member. If the relative rotation is performed too freely during the period, the tilting direction of the massage roller may momentarily change due to the pressure received from the affected part, and there is a possibility that an appropriate massage operation may not be performed.
- the present invention recommends providing a second brake means for applying a frictional resistance to the relative rotation of the pair of left and right massage rollers with respect to the rotation axis.

- a guide roller 67 freely fitted, a feed screw shaft 69 passed through a screw cylinder 68 fixed to the support frame 8, and a moving motor 70 for driving the feed screw shaft 69 , And.
- the feed screw shaft 69 is rotatably supported at a substantially central portion of the casing 61 so as not to be movable in the axial direction, and the screw cylinder 68 is screwed to an outer peripheral portion of the feed screw shaft 69. . For this reason, when the feed screw shaft 69 is rotated with the transfer module 70, the screw cylinder The support frame 8 moves up and down along the guide rail 66 via the pulley 68, thereby making it possible to change the massage position by the mass roller 16L and 16R.
- limit switches 71 for detecting the vertical movement limit of the massage mechanism 4 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the guide rails 66. Further, on the left side of the left guide rail 66, a guide shaft 73 around which a wire 72 of a motor 31 of the massage mechanism 4 is spirally wound is fixed. For this reason, even if the electric wire 72 is loosened in the casing 2 when the massage mechanism 4 repeatedly moves up and down, disconnection failure due to the loosened electric wire 72 entering an unexpected direction can be prevented. Further, in this embodiment, since the massage motor 31 is protruded to the opposite side (the upper side in FIG. 15) of the movement motor 70, interference between these two motors 31 and 70 is prevented. There is no need to provide a dead space to avoid this, and the vertical dimensions of the casing 62 are also compact.
- a structure for switching the posture of the massage roller 16 a description has been given of a structure in which a dividing portion 10 a is provided on the rotating shaft 10 and a half-turn clutch portion 21 is used here.
- a mechanical switching mechanism, an electromagnetic clutch mechanism, or a manual switching mechanism may be employed.
- the shape of the massage roller 16 can be changed in various ways as long as the overall shape is substantially a disk shape.
- the shape of the massage roller 16 is not limited to a simple disk shape, but may be an oval plate shape or a polygonal plate shape. Things can also be adopted.
- the massage mechanism 4 of the present invention can be incorporated in a bed-type massage device. [Industrial applicability]
- the present invention provides a roller massaging mechanism that can perform massaging massage and other massages by a pair of left and right massage rollers.
- This massage mechanism can be incorporated into various types of massage devices, such as a relatively small mounted massage device or a hand-held massage device, or a relatively large lean-down massage device or a chair-type massage device. .
