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.

2. Description of the Related Art An electric potential treatment device is a device for obtaining a therapeutic effect by forming an electric field around a human body and stimulating the human body with the electric field.

For this reason, the potential treatment device applies high voltage to the insulated human body through a pad, but the bottom and walls of the room surrounding the human body are close to the earth, where the potential is 0V, so the high voltage is applied to the human body. An electric field is formed between the earth, the bottom, and the walls.

Conventional electric potential therapy devices create an electric field in only one direction by fixing the phase difference between the pads. Therefore, there is a limit to the ability to provide appropriate stimulation to each part of the body and obtain a therapeutic effect.

In addition, since different voltages are used for each treatment area, the amount of output current changes each time the voltage changes, which causes the user to feel psychologically uneasy because the electric shock sensation changes.

The inventors of the present invention have made research efforts to solve the problems of the prior art electric potential treatment devices. As a result of much effort, we have completed the present invention in order to complete a potential therapy device that can transmit therapeutic effects to various parts of the body and prevent electric shock by adjusting the phase and potential of each pad of the potential therapy device.

The electric potential treatment device further includes a control unit including one or more processors and a memory, and the control unit controls the connection state of the switch unit according to a user's input.

The switch unit is configured such that one pad among the plurality of pads is connected to an output tap of the first transformer, and one pad among the remaining pads is connected to an output pad of the second transformer. It is characterized by being

Of the remaining pads excluding the pads connected to the first and second transformation parts, only the pads that have come into contact with a part of the user that requires treatment are connected to the output tap of the third transformation part. It is characterized by

All pads other than the pads connected to the first transformer and the second transformer are connected to the output tap of the third transformer.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the structure of the present invention guided by various embodiments of the present invention and the effects starting from the structure will be explained in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a structural diagram of a potential treatment device for controlling the flow of potential according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The potential treatment device 100 according to the present invention includes a power input section 110, transformer sections 120-124, output resistors 130-134, switch sections 141-145, 151-155, and pad sections 160-165.

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

The transformers 120, 122, and 124 respectively transform the voltage and phase of the AC power source for potential treatment.

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

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

The first transformer section 120 and the second transformer section 122 have high voltages, and although the voltages are the same, by making the phases opposite, the potential of the user who is being treated can be brought close to 0. 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 the first transformer 120 and 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 a lower voltage, so that the third transformer 124 can be connected between the pad connected to the first transformer 120 and the pad connected to the third transformer 124. It is possible to obtain a therapeutic effect by allowing a minute current to flow to the desired area.

Output resistors 130, 132, and 134 adjust the output current delivered to pads 160-165.

The switch section includes voltage selection switches 141-145 and connection switches 151-155.

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

The user can prevent electric shock by connecting the pad that is not being treated to the second transformer 122 to generate a high voltage with a phase opposite to that of the first transformer 120 .

The pad for treatment is connected to the third transformer 124 to generate a low voltage with a phase opposite to the output of the first transformer 120 to cause current to flow, thereby obtaining a therapeutic effect. be able to.

The connection switches 151 to 155 may connect each pad to a transformer. By not connecting pads that are not in use, the user can prevent unwanted current from flowing and prevent electric shock.

The pad units 160 to 165 include a fixed pad 160 having a high voltage plus (+) phase and variable pads 161 to 165 selectively connected to a high voltage minus (-) phase or a low voltage minus phase.

The fixed pad 160 is generally placed on the user's head, thereby creating an electric field in the user's body.

The variable pads 161 to 165 are located in areas to be treated by generating an electric field, such as the buttocks, back, arms, and legs.The variable pads in areas that require treatment are connected to the third transformer 124, and the variable pads that are not in use are connected to the third transformer 124. is connected to the second transformer 122 to prevent electric shock.

For example, the first variable pad 161 is located on the buttocks, the second variable pad 162 is located on the back, the third variable pad 163 is located on the left arm, the fourth variable pad 164 is located on the right arm, and the fifth variable pad 165 is located on the foot. be able to.

At this time, if it is desired to transmit the therapeutic effect only to the back, the second variable pad 162 located on the back should be connected to the third transformer 124. Therefore, the second voltage selection switch 142 must be connected to the third transformer 124, and the second connection switch 152 must be in an on state.

In order to prevent electric shock to the user, one of the remaining unused variable pads should be connected to the second transformer 122 having a high voltage having a phase opposite to the output of the first transformer 120. Therefore, it is only necessary to connect the first variable pad 161 located in a region other than the back, such as the buttocks, to the second transformation section 122. For this purpose, the first voltage selection switch 141 must be connected to the second transformer 122, and the first connection switch 151 must be in an on state.

Since the remaining third, fourth, and fifth variable pads 163, 164, and 165 that are not used do not need to be connected to power, the third, fourth, and fifth connection switches 153, 154, and 155 are in an off state. maintain.

If it is desired to transmit the therapeutic effect to multiple sites, multiple variable pads may be connected to a low voltage for treatment.

For example, if you want to treat all of your arms and legs, the third, fourth, and fifth variable pads 163, 164, and 165, which are the corresponding variable pads, are all connected to the third transformer section 124, which is a low voltage transformer section. Must. 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 are also connected in the on state. It must be.

One of the first and second variable pads 161 and 162, which are pads that are not used for treatment, must be connected to the second transformer 122, which has a high voltage with an opposite phase, to prevent electric shock. Therefore, it is possible to connect the first or second voltage selection switch 141, 142 to the second transformer 122, and turn on a selected one of the first or second connection switch 151, 152. Dew.

FIG. 2 is a structural diagram of a potential treatment device for controlling the flow of potential according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

The electric potential treatment device 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a controller 270 for controlling the switch. The other configurations may be the same as the example in FIG.

The control unit 270 performs switch control according to user settings, and may include one or more processors and memory for this purpose. The processor can execute programs and commands for controlling the switches, and the memory can store commands and necessary data for driving the processor.

The control unit 270 controls the voltage selection switches 241 to 245 and controls the on/off of the connection switches 251 to 255 as necessary.

For this purpose, a switching element such as an FET (Field Effect Transistor) or an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) may be used in the switch section. The switching on/off of such a switching element is controlled by the control unit 270.

The control unit 270 controls the connection of the variable pads 261 to 265 according to the treatment area selected by the user.

For example, the first variable pad 261 is located on the buttocks, the second variable pad 262 is located on the back, the third variable pad 263 is located on the left arm, the fourth variable pad 264 is located on the right arm, and the fifth variable pad 265 is located on the foot. be able to.

If the user selects the left arm and right arm as treatment areas, the controller 270 controls the switch so that the third variable pad 263 and the fourth variable pad 264 are connected to the third transformer 224 . Therefore, the control unit 270 controls the third and fourth voltage selection switches 243 and 244 to be connected toward the third transformer unit 224, and turns on the third and fourth connection switches 253 and 254.

The controller 270 may connect one of the remaining pads not used for electric potential treatment to the second transformer 222 for electric shock prevention. The first, second, and fifth variable pads 261, 262, and 265, excluding the left and right arms, are not used for treatment and are used to prevent electric shock. For example, if the fifth variable pad 265 is used to prevent electric shock, the control section 270 connects the fifth voltage selection switch 245 toward the second transformer section 222, and controls the fifth connection switch 255 to turn on. This can prevent electric shock.

According to the electric potential treatment device of the present invention as described above, by adjusting the voltage and phase of the pads used for electric potential treatment, not only can the therapeutic effect be simultaneously transmitted to various parts desired by the user, but also high voltage can be applied to pads that are not used. The effect of preventing electric shock can also be obtained by applying the opposite phase of the voltage.

The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the description and representation of the embodiments explicitly explained above. Furthermore, it is reiterated that the scope of protection of the present invention shall not be limited by changes or substitutions that are obvious in the technical field to which the present invention pertains.
