【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings showing a preferred embodiment. The block diagram shown in FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall function of the device according to the present invention. The whole is composed of a mat 10 for applied voltage of lymph drainage, and a measurement control unit 20 having a function of measuring body fat and a potential generating function for lowering a predetermined potential based on the measurement result.

The mat 10 contacts the predetermined part of the body on the mat body M and has an electrode E having a conductive surface.₀~ E_Four′_,E_Four″ Is provided. Further, two detection electrodes S used for measuring body resistance are provided._1,S₂Is also arranged. These detection electrodes S_1,S₂Is used only in the body fat measurement mode, in which case the other electrode E₀~ E_Four′_,E_FourNo electrode for lymph drainage is applied to ″, instead, the potential for measurement is measured by measuring the body resistance. For example, in the case of the arrangement shown in FIG.₀And E₃A potential having a predetermined voltage value is applied during the period. At that time, the detection electrode S₁And S ₂ The potential between the electrodes is measured to measure the resistance between the electrodes.

[0010] and body electrode connecting wire L ₁ and lymphatic drainage electrode connecting wires L ₂ for voltage application mode for fat measurement mode is connected between the mat 10 and the measurement control unit 20. The arrangement of the electrodes E _{0 to} E ₄ ′ _and E ₄ ″ has already been described in the specification of Japanese Patent Application No. 5-224780 and will not be described in detail here.

The measurement control unit 20 is roughly divided into four functional blocks. That is, the switching circuit 22 for switching the connection conductors to be applied to the electrodes in the body fat measurement mode and the lymph drainage voltage application mode, the voltage generation / control circuit 24 for controlling the function of body fat measurement and the function of generating the applied voltage, and input the required data. The input circuit 26 and the display circuit 28 for displaying the input data or the processing mode being executed and the measurement result. Since the voltage generation / control circuit 24 has already been described in detail in another application of the present applicant (Japanese Patent Application No. 4-146004), no further explanation will be given here.

FIG. 2 is a schematic layout view of the front panel 50 of the beauty treatment apparatus constructed according to the present invention. In this arrangement, a personal data input unit 52 including a display switching unit for switching between input and display of personal data, an individual applied voltage setting unit 54 capable of adjusting applied voltage in consideration of individual differences, and a lymph site (1). ~ 6) to apply a voltage by applying a voltage to the local applied voltage setting unit 56, a display unit 60 for displaying various data, a manual processing time setting unit 62, a processing site display / processing selection unit 57 and an accessory It consists of a power supply and a manual automatic switching key.

If the input keys have names, the functions can be easily read from the names, and therefore no further explanation will be given. With the three keys below the personal data input section 52, the age, height, and weight can be entered in three digits. Of course, which item is to be entered is done with the display switching key in the upper right.

In addition, D and T attached on the key respectively distinguish drainage and toning, and in the case of D as proposed by the present applicant in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-261160. , A drainage cosmetic treatment, in which applied voltage with a frequency of several hundred Hz is repeatedly applied to the stimulation site repeatedly to stimulate lymph lines. On the other hand, T represents a toning cosmetic treatment, in which the applied voltage with a repetition frequency of 5 to 10 Hz specifically tightens the muscles of each part to give exercise by electrical stimulation. Reference numeral 53 is a key for manually setting the drainage time, which gradually increases depending on the number of times the drainage is pressed. Similarly, 55 is for manually setting the toning time. Further, 58 and 57 provide switching when the cosmetic treatment of drainage and toning is manually performed. Whether to perform it manually or automatically is determined by pressing the automatic / manual switch on the upper right. In the case of automatization, the cosmetic treatment of drainage and toning is automatically determined by the measurement results of body fat.

The upward triangular and downward triangular keys on the individual applied voltage setting unit 54 and the local applied voltage setting unit 56 give individual differences in processing time automatically or manually determined in consideration of the individual constitution. It means a key for increasing and decreasing the applied intensity or the applied time, respectively.

An unmarked circle indicates a light emitting diode, which indicates whether or not the LED is in operation. The set strength of the individual difference is displayed by the length of the light emitting portion of the linear light emitting diode shown in the center of the individual applied voltage setting portion 54. Further, the display section 60 is composed of a 7-segment LED display 64. There are eight types displayed on the display 64. That is, two LEDs (denoted by circles) A1 and A2 above the display 64 and six LEDs (also denoted by circles) A3 to A8 below the display 64, The actual display contents are as follows.

A1 Treatmen time (minutes) A2 Calories burned (Kcal) A3 Age A4 Height (cm) A5 Weight (kg) A6 Body fat (%) A7 Living metabolism (Kcal) A8 Body type classification The values to be input in the data input section 52 are A3, A4, A5.

What is directly obtained by measuring body fat is body fat A6. Then, the living expenses of A7 (also called basal metabolism) and the body type classification of A8 are calculated by an electronic arithmetic processing unit (not shown) contained in the beauty processing apparatus according to the present invention. The former can separate body fat relative to body weight and non-body fat (particularly related to the weight of muscles, bones, etc.), and the weight percent other than this body fat can be used to calculate the daily calories required for that person. . The latter, as proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-14605, can classify body weight and body fat into three types: excessive, proper, and excess and deficiency, respectively, and finally can be classified into 9 types. For example, when both body weight and body fat are excessive, it is an obese type, and when both are excessive and deficient, it is a super lean type.

Then, according to the body type classification of the person, an appropriate processing time for drainage and toning is calculated according to the beauty treatment program stored in the ROM storage unit in the electronic processing unit, and the treatment treatment is performed. Displayed at time A1. Further, the calorie consumption K per unit time suitable for the person is calculated based on the basic metabolism, the type of beauty treatment to be applied, and the treatment time t, and displayed in A2. In this case, consumption calorie K is, K = (time of basal metabolism / day) expressed as xC ₀ xC _1, C ₀ depends on the type cosmetic processing coefficients (i.e., the movement to the basal metabolism at rest C ₁ is an intensity coefficient which is further individually changed in the cosmetic treatment (that is, a coefficient of the degree of intensity set by the individual applied voltage setting unit 54 and the local applied voltage setting unit 56). Therefore, the calorie consumption displayed in A2 is Kx t.

As is well known to those skilled in the art, the calculations in the electronic circuits described above include a microprocessor, a ROM for variable programmable sequence control storage, and a RAM used for temporary storage during calculation. , And attached circuit elements (interface, A / D and / or D / A converter).

Needless to say, various modifications and improvements can be made in addition to the embodiment according to the present invention described above. For example, instead of using the detection electrodes S _{1 and} S ₂ of the mat body M, a detection unit (not shown) that can be attached as an adapter and that can be held by both hands can be used (for example, the characteristics of the applicant). See Kaihei 5-337096).

Further, a weight scale (weight scale) is inserted between the installation location and the mat body M, and a weight detection signal of a detection unit (load cell) of the weight scale is measured and applied voltage / control circuit 24 of the control unit 20. Can also be introduced. In this way, it is not necessary to input the weight, and the cosmetic treatment diagnosis can be performed by directly using the weight at that time.

In any case, any configuration provided in the scope of claims for utility model registration falls within the scope of this invention.
