PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a massage machine offering a pounding massage driven by an exciting coil, which ensures to keep the temperature of the exciting coil from rising.SOLUTION: This massage machine 1 includes a pounding force generating means 15 which generates a pounding force for massaging to be applied to ones affected part, driven by an exciting coil 18, and an output regulate means 25 which regulates the output of the pounding force generating means 15 so as to keep the temperature of the exciting coil 18 from rising. The output control means 25 regulates the output of the pounding force generating means 15 by using information on its massage-off state, while the output control means 25 regulates the output of the pounding force generating means 15 by using the amount of work done by the pounding force generating means 15. Also the output control means 25 calculates the accumulated amount of work done by the pounding force generating means 15 while in the massage-on state, and subtracts the amount of work according to the length of the massage-off time from the accumulated amount while in the massage-off state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】励磁コイルを打撃マッサージの駆動源とするマッサージ機において、励磁コイルの温度上昇を確実に抑制する。【解決手段】本発明のマッサージ機1は、励磁コイル18を駆動源として患部に打撃力を加えることによりマッサージ施療を行う打撃力発生手段15と、励磁コイル18の温度上昇を抑制すべく打撃力発生手段15の出力を抑制する出力抑制手段25と、を有している。この出力抑制手段25は、マッサージ施療の停止中の情報を基にしつつ、打撃力発生手段15の出力を抑制すると共に、出力抑制手段25は、打撃力発生手段15が行う仕事量を基に、打撃力発生手段15の出力を抑制する。また、出力抑制手段25は、マッサージ施療中には打撃力発生手段15が行う仕事量の積算値を算出し、マッサージ施療の停止中には積算値から停止時間に応じた仕事量を減算するように構成されている。【選択図】図2
