Control Arrangement for Controlling the Intensity of the Massaging Motion of a Massage Device and a Massage Device Comprising a Control Arrangement of this Type
The invention relates to a method for controlling the intensity of the massaging motion of a massage device including at least one preferably elongated massage section with at least one wall that forms the outer surface of the massage section. The massage device also has at least one first electric drive device having a first electric motor unit and at least one second drive device having a second electric motor unit, at least some sections of each unit being operatively connected either directly or indirectly to the wall in order to generate a massaging motion. A control assembly, which is connected to the electric motor units, is provided to control the intensity of the massaging motion. The current electric power consumption of at least the first electric motor unit is particularly advantageously determined periodically or continuously, the electric power consumption that has been determined is compared to at least one predefined reference power consumption and the intensity of the massaging motion generated by the second electric motor unit is controlled depending on the result of said comparison.
