PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a massage machine that detects an operating speed change of drive means of a treatment member affected by a load concerning treatment, and can efficiently execute treatment having less burden to the body of a person to be treated by adjusting and controlling the drive means in the proper operation condition based on this change.SOLUTION: A control unit acquires an operating speed while operating drive means for moving a treatment member, and adjusts and controls the drive means in the operation condition of further increasing or decreasing the operating speed in conformity to the increase or decrease of the operating speed. Accordingly, in the situation where the load on the drive means increases, the operating speed of the drive means is decreased and the movement of the treatment member is relaxed, and the treatment of soft feeling is performed to a person to be treated and the time of the treatment is lengthened. Alternatively, in the situation when the load on the drive means decreases, the operating speed of the drive means is raised and the movement of the treatment member is accelerated to be transferred immediately to the next treatment opportunity. Thereby, the treatment suppressing the burden to the body of the person to be treated can be executed in a proper timing, and the effective treatment can be performed.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 施療に係る負荷の影響を受ける施療子の駆動手段の作動速度変化を検知し、この変化に基づいて駆動手段をより適切な作動状態に調整制御して、被施療者の体に対し負担の少ない施療を効率よく実行できるマッサージ機を提供する。【解決手段】 制御部で、施療子を動かす駆動手段を作動させる間、その作動速度を取得し、作動速度の増減に合わせ、駆動手段をさらに作動速度を増やす又は減らす作動状態に調整制御することから、駆動手段の負荷が増大する状況では、駆動手段の作動速度を低下させて施療子の移動を緩やかにし、被施療者に対しソフトな感触の施療を行うと共に施療の時間を長くする一方、駆動手段の負荷が減少する状況では、駆動手段の作動速度を上昇させて施療子の移動を速め、次の施療機会へ速やかに移行させられることとなり、被施療者の体への負担を抑えた施療を適切なタイミングで実行でき、効果的な施療を行える。【選択図】 図5
