Description

Potential treatment device for controlling potential flow

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a potential treatment device, and more particularly, to a technique for controlling the potential of a potential treatment device.

Background

The potential treatment device is a device that obtains a treatment effect by forming an Electric Field (Electric Field) around a human body and stimulating the human body by the Electric Field.

For this reason, the potential treatment apparatus applies a high voltage to an insulated human body through a pad, and at this time, since a floor or wall in a room around the human body, etc., is close to the Earth (Earth) having a potential of 0V, an electric field is formed between the high voltage and the floor or wall as the Earth.

In the conventional potential treatment apparatus, an electric field is formed only in one direction by the phase difference of the fixing pad. Therefore, there is a limitation in obtaining therapeutic effects by properly stimulating various parts of the body.

In addition, since the amount of output current is also changed every time the voltage is changed by using a different voltage for each treatment site, the feeling of electric shock felt by the user is also changed, resulting in the user feeling of mental uneasiness.

The present inventors have made an effort to solve the above-described problems of the prior art potential treatment device. The present invention has been completed in a great effort to accomplish a potential therapy device that delivers therapeutic effects to various parts of the body by adjusting the phase and potential of the respective pads of the potential therapy device and is capable of preventing electric shock.

In describing the present invention, a detailed description will be omitted in the case where it is determined that descriptions of related known functions, that is, matters well known to those skilled in the art, unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention.

The above terms are used only to distinguish one structural element from another. For example, a "first structural element" may be referred to as a "second structural element," and similarly, a "second structural element" may also be referred to as a "first structural element," without departing from the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, references to singular are to be construed to include the plural unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Unless otherwise defined, terms used in embodiments of the present invention may be construed as commonly known to one of ordinary skill in the art.

The structure of the present invention and effects produced by the structure, which are transmitted by various embodiments of the present invention, will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The potential treatment apparatus 100 according to the present invention includes a power input unit 110, transformers 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, output resistors 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, switching units 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, and pad units 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165.

The power input unit 110 receives an ac power and transmits it to the transformer.

For potential treatment, transformers 120, 122, 124 convert the voltage and phase of the ac power supply, respectively.

The first transformer 120 converts the ac power of the power input unit 110 into a high voltage. The voltage may be 9000 volts (9 kV) or higher.

The second transformer 122 also converts the ac power of the power input unit 110 into a high voltage. The voltage is the same as the voltage of the first transformer 120, but the phase is opposite to the phase of the first transformer 120.

The first transformer 120 and the second transformer 122 have high voltages, i.e., the voltages are the same, but by having opposite phases, the potential of the user as the subject can be made close to 0, so that electric shock can be prevented.

The third transformer 124 converts the ac power of the power input unit 110 into a low voltage. The low voltage is a voltage lower than that of the first transformer 120 or the second transformer 122, and may be 450 volts (450V) or less.

The third transformer 124 has a phase opposite to the output voltage of the first transformer 120, and reduces the voltage so that a micro current flows between the pad connected to the first transformer 120 and the pad connected to the third transformer 124, i.e., a therapeutic effect can be obtained at a desired location.

The output resistors 130, 132, 134 regulate the output current delivered to the pads 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165.

The switching unit is composed of voltage selection switches 141, 142, 143, 144, 145 and connection switches 151, 152, 153, 154, 155.

Voltage selection switches 141, 142, 143, 144, 145 are used to select which transformer each pad is connected to.

The user may prevent an electric shock by connecting a pad to be treated to the second transformer 122 to generate a high voltage in reverse phase with the first transformer 120.

By connecting the pad for treatment to the third transformer 124, a low voltage inverse to the output of the first transformer 120 is generated so that a current flows, thereby obtaining a therapeutic effect.

The connection switches 151, 152, 153, 154, 155 may connect each pad to a transformer. By not connecting unused pads, unwanted current flow or electrical shock to the user can be prevented.

The pad units 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165 include a fixed pad 160 of a high voltage positive (+) phase and variable pads 161, 162, 163, 164, 165 selectively connected to a high voltage negative (-) phase or a low voltage negative (-) phase.

The stationary pad 160 is typically positioned on the head of the user to create an electric field on the body of the user.

The variable pads 161, 162, 163, 164, 165 are located at a portion where treatment by generating an electric field is required, such as buttocks, back, limbs, etc., and the variable pad in the portion where treatment is required is connected to the third transformer 124, and an unused variable pad is connected to the second transformer 122 to prevent electric shock.

For example, the first variable pad 161 may be located at the buttocks, the second variable pad 162 may be located at the back, the third variable pad 163 may be located at the left arm, the fourth variable pad 164 may be located at the right arm, and the fifth variable pad 165 may be located at the leg.

At this time, if only the therapeutic effect is transferred to the back, the second variable pad 162 located at the back should be connected to the third transformer 124. Therefore, the second voltage selection switch 142 needs to be connected in the direction of the third transformer 124, and the second connection switch 152 should be in a conductive state.

To prevent a user from shocking, one of the remaining unused variable pads must be connected to a second transformer 122 having a high voltage that is inverted from the output of the first transformer 120. Therefore, the first variable pad 161 located at a portion other than the back (e.g., buttocks) may be connected to the second transformer 122. For this, the first voltage selection switch 141 is connected in the direction of the second transformer 122, and the first connection switch 151 must be in a conductive state.

Since the unused third, fourth and fifth variable pads 163, 164 and 165 do not need to be connected to a power source, the third, fourth and fifth connection switches 153, 154 and 155 remain in an off state.

To deliver therapeutic effects to multiple sites, multiple variable pads may be connected to a low voltage for treatment.

For example, if both arms and legs are to be treated, the third variable pad 163, the fourth variable pad 164, and the fifth variable pad 165, which are the respective variable pads, must be connected to the third transformer 124, which is a low voltage transformer. Therefore, the third, fourth and fifth voltage selection switches 143, 144 and 145 are connected in the direction of the third transformer 124, and the third, fourth and fifth connection switches 153, 154 and 155 must also be connected in a conductive state.

One of the first variable pad 161 and the second variable pad 162, which are pads not used for therapy, needs to be connected to the second transformer 122, which is a high voltage having an opposite phase, to prevent electric shock. Accordingly, the first voltage selection switch 141 or the second voltage selection switch 142 may be connected to the second transformer 122, and a selected one of the first connection switch 151 and the second connection switch 152 may be turned on.

The potential treatment apparatus 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a controller 270 for controlling the switch. Other configurations may be configured in the same manner as in the example of fig. 1.

The controller 270 controls the switches according to user settings and may include one or more processors and memory for this purpose. The processor may execute a program or instructions for controlling the switch, and the memory may store instructions for driving the processor and necessary data.

The controller 270 controls the voltage selection switches 241, 242, 243, 244, 245 as needed, and controls on/off of the connection switches 251, 252, 253, 254, 255.

For this purpose, switching elements such as field effect transistors (Field Effect Transistor; FETs) or insulated gate bipolar transistors (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor; IGBTs) may be used as switching elements. The on/off of these switching elements is controlled by the control of the controller 270.

The controller 270 controls the connection of the variable pads 261, 262, 263, 264, 265 according to the treatment site selected by the user.

For example, the first variable pad 261 may be positioned at the buttocks, the second variable pad 262 may be positioned at the back, the third variable pad 263 may be positioned at the left arm, the fourth variable pad 264 may be positioned at the right arm, and the fifth variable pad 265 may be positioned at the leg.

If the user selects the left and right arms as the treatment site, the controller 270 controls the switches such that the third and fourth variable pads 263 and 264 are connected to the third transformer 224. Accordingly, the controller 270 controls such that the third voltage selection switch 243 and the fourth voltage selection switch 244 are connected in the direction of the third transformer 224, and such that the third connection switch 253 and the fourth connection switch 254 are in an on state.

The controller 270 may connect one of the remaining pads not used for the potential treatment to the second transformer 222 to prevent an electric shock. The first, second and fifth variable pads 261, 262 and 265 except for the left and right arms are not used for treatment, and thus they are used to prevent electric shock. For example, if the fifth variable pad 265 is used to prevent electric shock, the controller 270 controls the fifth voltage selection switch 245 to be connected in the direction of the second transformer 222 and the fifth connection switch 255 to be in an on state, so that electric shock can be prevented.

As described above, according to the potential treatment apparatus of the present invention, by adjusting the voltage and phase of the pad for potential treatment, it is possible to simultaneously deliver the treatment effect to a plurality of sites required by the user, and by applying the high voltage in the opposite phase to the unused pad, it is also possible to obtain the effect of preventing electric shock.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the description and the expression of the embodiments explicitly described above. It should be noted that the scope of the present invention is not limited to obvious modifications or substitutions in the art to which the present invention pertains.
