I do. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, when the treatment section 4 is closed, that is, when the potential treatment section 42 is facing upward, the magnet 46a and the foot conductor opening / closing detection sensor 46 are close to each other. This means that the foot conductor opening / closing detection sensor 46 is in the ON state, and the electric potential treatment is being performed.
When the treatment section 4 is opened and closed during treatment, all outputs are stopped.

Reference numeral 64 denotes a potential voltage output switching means, reference numeral 65 denotes a control circuit unit, reference numeral 66 denotes a power supply unit, and reference numeral 67 denotes a power supply unit.
Is an output switching unit, and reference numerals 68 and 69 are low frequency output circuits.

Reference numeral 70 denotes a low-frequency treatment local conductor 45 when the pad plugs (not shown) of the low-frequency treatment pad conductors 44, 44 are inserted into the pad conductor jacks 23, 23. When a local plug (not shown) is inserted into the local conductor jack 24, the plug insertion detecting circuit detects that the plug is inserted.When the plug is inserted, that is, during low-frequency treatment Control is performed so that potential therapy cannot be performed.

The control unit 3 comprises a unit body 31 made of synthetic resin, an operation display panel 32 disposed on the front side of the unit body 31, and a connection cord for electrically connecting the unit body 31. 33 and a handle 34 formed on the back surface of the unit body 31
And is composed of Reference numeral 39 denotes a control circuit of the control unit 3.

The operation display panel 32 includes a treatment selection button 35, a strength adjustment button 36, a tempo adjustment button 37, and a part of the body which is disposed on the treatment device main body 2 other than the electric potential treatment section 42. And detecting means 38 which can detect that the contact is made.

The treatment selection button 35 is used to select each treatment mode of the guide treatment and the potential treatment. In the case of low-frequency treatment using a pad conductor (not shown), the shoulder course and the waist course can be distinguished and hit. You can choose between fir and shiatsu. In the case of low-frequency treatment using a local pen (not shown), the height of the local conductor can be selected. In addition, treatment section 4
In the case of the electric potential treatment of the foot using the electric potential treatment section 42, a signal of start and stop can be transmitted. Further, at the time of low-frequency treatment of the foot using the low-frequency treatment unit 43 of the treatment unit 4, any one of a sole course, a tapping course, and a foot massage course can be selected.

The intensity adjustment button 36 has a clearly labeled "start position" at the left end so that it can be adjusted so as not to give a sharp stimulus to the user at the start of treatment. Has been adjusted to be stronger.

The treatment section 4 is arranged such that the potential treatment section 42 is exposed in an opening 4b on one surface (the upper side in FIG. 5) of a housing 4a made of a synthetic resin formed in a shell shape. On the side surface (the lower side in FIG. 5), the low-frequency treatment section 43
Low frequency treatment electrodes 43a, 43b. The housing 4a is attached to the leg 2a of the treatment device main body 2,
It is arranged to be freely foldable and rotatable by a shaft 29. The electric potential treatment section 42 includes an epidermis 42a and an electric potential pad 42b, and is connected to a control circuit section 65 by a cord 48. A code 49 connects the low frequency treatment unit 43 and the control circuit unit 65. Code 47
Is an insulating member interposed between the electric potential treatment section 42 and the low frequency treatment section 43.

The electric potential treatment section 42 is a part of the body,
For example, when the power switch 22 is turned on with a foot on, a 1500 volt potential is applied to the therapist. When the foot is placed on the detecting means 38, another part of the body of the healer, for example, a finger of a hand is touched, and the potential difference between the ground and the potential of 1500 volts applied to the healer is changed by the potential difference. The detecting means 62 detects. When the potential difference detecting means 62 detects a predetermined potential difference, the notifying means 30 can notify that a potential is being applied to the treating person. Code 28
Is control means, and the control means 28 is
2 and the notification means 30.

With the above configuration, even if the electric potential treatment section 42 is in the electric potential treatment state, the pad plugs (not shown) of the pad conductors 44, 44 for low frequency treatment can be connected to the pad conductor jack 23, When a so-called low-frequency treatment instruction is performed, ie, insertion into the local conductor jack 24, or a local plug (not shown) of the local conductor 45 for low-frequency treatment into the local conductor jack 24, the plug insertion detection circuit 70 operates. Immediately, the potential treatment state is cut, and the state is switched to the low-frequency treatment standby state. Thus, the voltage drop due to the pad conductor and the local conductor during the electric potential treatment is eliminated. Also,
Even if the potential treatment section is touched, no discharge or the like occurs.

The electrodes 4 for the low frequency treatment of the electric potential treatment section 42 and the low frequency treatment section 43 are provided on the front and back of the integrated housing 4a.
Since the cords 3a and 43b are provided, there is almost no cord, the area around the treatment section 4 can be organized and organized, there is no voltage drop, and various deteriorations do not occur.

Further, in the case of the electric potential treatment, when the power switch 22 is turned on by putting both feet of the operator on the epidermis 42a of the electric potential treatment section 24, an electric potential of 1500 volts is applied to the operator. In this state, when another part of the body, for example, a finger of the body is brought into contact with the detecting means 38, the potential difference detecting means 62 detects the potential difference from the ground and notifies the notifying means 63.
Can notify that an electric field is generated. Thus, the healer himself can recognize that the electric therapy device 1 is generating an electric field, that is, the healer's own electric potential. Also,
By not detecting the electric potential by touching any part of the therapeutic device main body 2 at a part other than the detecting means 38, the notifying means 63 is prevented from inadvertently notifying during the treatment.

In this state, when the start button of the treatment selection button 35 on the operation display panel 32 is pressed, the treatment can be performed for a predetermined time.

Further, since the control unit 3 is detachable from the treatment device main body 2, the detection unit 38 is provided on the control unit 3 which is detached from the treatment device main body 2 and moved toward the front during electric potential treatment. By doing so, the operation of potential treatment can be easily performed.

[0026]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the low-frequency treatment is set to have a higher priority than the potential treatment, the low-frequency treatment can be performed even when the potential treatment section is in the potential treatment state. When the instruction is activated, the state is switched to the low-frequency treatment standby state, so that the low-frequency treatment can be performed immediately.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the electric potential treatment section and the low-frequency treatment section are arranged on the front and back of the integrated housing, there is almost no cord, and the area around the treatment section can be arranged and organized. There is no descent and no various degradations occur.
