Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a low-frequency therapeutic device.

[Conventional technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been a cordless low-frequency treatment device including a power supply unit, a low-frequency output circuit unit, and a set of conductors.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The low-frequency therapy device had to be small and easy to use and out of the way.

For this reason, there is a disadvantage that the distance between the conductors through which a low-frequency current flows through the human body cannot be increased, and only local treatment can be performed.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a small-sized low-frequency treatment device that can perform low-frequency treatment locally and widely and is easy to use.

[Means for solving the problem]

The low-frequency therapeutic device according to the present invention has a built-in power supply unit, a built-in low-frequency output circuit unit fed from the power supply unit, and a pair of first conductors connected to an output terminal of the low-frequency output circuit unit. A main body having a contact surface, a main body detachably attached to the main body and having a second conductor on the surface, the second conductor and the output end of the low-frequency output circuit section. And a storage portion provided on one of the child main body and the parent main body for storing the cord in a state where the child main body is attached to the parent main body. The first conductor and the second conductor are connected to the output terminal of the low-frequency output circuit section in a state separated from the parent body.

[Action]

According to the configuration of the present invention, when the child main body is attached to the parent main body, the pair of first conductors of the parent main body abut on the skin of the human body, and when the power is supplied from the power supply to the low frequency output circuit, the low frequency output circuit is provided. A low-frequency current flows from the output circuit section between the first conductor through the human body, and low-frequency treatment is performed. In a state where the child body is separated from the parent body, the first guide of the parent body and the second guide of the child body abut against the skin of the human body, and the first guide and the second guide are placed between the first guide and the second guide. A low-frequency current is passed through to perform low-frequency treatment. In this case, since the child body is detachably attached to the parent body, the child body can be treated integrally with the parent body, and the treatment can be performed even when the child body is separated from the parent body. In addition, since the storage section for storing the cord for connecting the output end of the low-frequency output circuit section and the second conductor is provided in the parent body or the child body, the cord is stored when the child body is mounted on the parent body and used. It can be housed in a section so that the cord does not get in the way. Therefore, it is possible to provide a small-sized low-frequency treatment device that can perform low-frequency treatment from a local area to a wide range, is easy to handle, and is easy to use.
