Description

  The present invention relates to an acupuncture treatment device that applies thermal stimulation to an affected area using heat generated by electricity.

The porridge is
It is a traditional medical technique that treats diseases by changing the physiological state by giving a thermal stimulus to a specific part called acupoint (acupuncture point). It is a method of putting a fire on the material. However, it is difficult to adjust the temperature of the soot due to combustion of the combustion material, and there are various problems such as burns and fire. There is also a problem that large burn marks remain when the heat of combustion is transmitted to the skin over a wide area. Therefore, most of the commercially available fixtures moderate the heat of combustion by the thickness of the pedestal and the like.

  In view of such problems, in recent years, electric heating appliances using electric heat generation instead of combustion materials have been developed. Electric heating equipment uses electricity as a heat source, so it is easy to set the temperature suitable for the human body and can prevent burns, and it is hygienic because it does not scatter ash and sparks. There is an advantage that it is easy to manage.

  Specifically, for example, a fixture having a positive temperature coefficient thermistor as a heating element and switching elements connected in series (see Patent Literature 1), or a fixture equipped with a timer for setting an energization time (Patent Literature). 2). There is also a jig provided with heat storage means and heat conduction adjusting means (see Patent Document 3). However, these techniques have a problem that the temperature cannot be adjusted instantaneously during glazing. Furthermore, there is also provided a technique for adjusting the temperature of the affected area by adjusting the vertical position with a screw (see Patent Document 4). However, such a technique is troublesome because it is adjusted by turning a screw, and there is a problem that it cannot be instantly handled when it is felt that it is hot as in the above technique. And, none of the above-mentioned tools can switch between high-temperature heat stimulation at a small saddle point and gentle heat stimulation at a large saddle point.
