[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an electric heating and moxibustion device having a heat insulating layer below a heating element to instantaneously generate heat when energized and immediately return to normal temperature when the power is turned off, and to continuously switch on and off.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Traditionally, moxibustion treatment of buds has been widely practiced, but moxibustion is a pyramid-shaped (large grain, large rice grain, large red bean grain) mica on the skin, so the bottom is wide, so it is burnt. However, a trace remains. Usually, 5 to 20 pots can be laid continuously in one pot, but it takes a considerable amount of skill and time to form an ivory. For example, in the case of treatment for back pain, use 10 to 20 pots, It takes about 5 seconds for one moxibustion per 10 pots per moxibustion, so even an acupuncturist needs a total of about 20 minutes. There is also moxa moxibustion that has been simplified by putting a mica in a tube, but the trouble of making the mosaic was avoided, but the adhesive backing for the tube with the mosaic was peeled off and the sticker was peeled off and put on a pot. Another process is increasing, both must use fire and produce ash and become dirty. In addition, an electric moxibustion device using a thin film resistor has been devised, and a nickel-boron alloy film or the like is directly deposited on an epoxy resin plate by an electroless plating method or the like on the thin film resistor. Uses a thin-film resistor directly on the pot or uses a thicker insulating substrate to delay the heat conduction of the pot, but a heat insulating layer is provided between the heating element and the insulating substrate supporting the heating element. As the temperature of the thin-film resistor increased, the surrounding temperature rose with the passage of time, and once the temperature rose, it took time to return to room temperature.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 This has the following drawbacks. (A) Moxa moxibustion is difficult to put on a pot with a moxa small in size such as a rice grain, and there is a danger because it uses a fire such as a match, a lighter, and an incense stick. The ash contamination and discoloration caused by the mica makes moxibustion difficult to handle, and it is inconvenient and time-consuming to ignite the mica with incense sticks, etc., and it is difficult for elderly people and children to handle. (B) The conventional electric moxibustion device using a thin film resistor does not have a heat insulating layer between the heating element and the insulating substrate supporting the heating element. Is heated, the heat capacity is large, and once the temperature rises, it takes time for the temperature to fall to room temperature once it is stored.This is good for moxibustion, which is intended to heat a part of the human body. Not suitable for continuous thermal stimulation. Normally, moxa moxibustion expects the heat effect of the rapid rise and fall of the temperature until the mica burns and burns. The conventional electric moxibustion device, which enhances the heat effect by heating, has a slower rise in heat compared to moxibustion because the heating element is not insulated, and turns off the power when it reaches a predetermined temperature. Since the heat is transferred to the surroundings of the heating element, the temperature does not drop immediately, so if the purpose of heating the pot is reached, the heating element must be immediately separated from the pot to prevent burns from progressing In order to apply more heat to the pot, it is necessary to wait until the tip cools down to room temperature, and then repeat the operation of applying the heating element to the pot again. This makes it difficult to raise and lower the temperature quickly and continuously, which is very inconvenient. . The present invention has been devised to solve the above drawbacks.

【Example】

 Moxibustion is said to have a therapeutic effect at about 60 ° C or higher. However, if the temperature is too high, burns will be severe. Therefore, in this invention, the heat generation temperature of the thin film resistor (1) is from about 60 ° C to about 130 ° C. (Eg, about 100 ° C., which is comparable to medium cutting mica, 3, 65 mg rice grain size). The thin film resistor (1) of the present invention uses a silicon compound and has a resistance value of 55Ω to 66Ω in consideration of mass productivity and cost. By using two AA batteries (3V) as a power source, An exothermic temperature of about 100 ° C. was obtained for the medium cut mica, 3,65 mg rice grains. Alumina was used for the heat-resistant insulating substrate (4) on which the thin-film resistor (1) was deposited, glaze glass was used for the heat insulating layer (2), and a boron compound was used for the protective film (3). When the present invention is used with the above structure, the tip of the heating element is brought into close contact with the pot, and when the push-type switch (16) is pressed and energized, the thin-film resistor (1) instantaneously generates heat. When the pot is heated via the protective film (3) and the push-type switch (16) is released, the heat is absorbed by the body through the pot and immediately returns to normal temperature. By repeatedly turning on and off the push-type switch (16) while keeping the tip of the heating element in close contact with the pot, moxibustion can be performed promptly and continuously. If a variable resistor is provided in the electric circuit as shown in FIG. 7 so that the resistance can be manipulated from the outside, the heat generation temperature of the thin film resistor (1) can be changed as necessary. .

[0007]

[Effect of the invention]

 The idea is that the thin film resistor (1) is formed on the heat insulating layer (2), so that heat is not taken away by the surroundings, so that the heat generation capacity can be easily set small. When the power is turned off, the temperature immediately drops, so that the switch can be turned on and off quickly and continuously while still in close contact with the pot. This is not an operation similar to moxa moxibustion, but rather the use of mica, it is possible to quickly raise and lower the temperature, resulting in greater thermal effects. In addition, since the tip is of a pointed type, the heat can reach deeper by strongly pressing against the skin, so that the heat effect is further increased. This invention not only enhances the heat effect similar to moxa moxibustion, but also minimizes the destruction of the skin tissue by reducing the area of the heating element as much as necessary (0.2 mm x 0.3 mm in this example). This makes it possible to perform burn-free moxibustion without leaving scars, and this effect enables moxibustion of the face, which has been rarely performed. This was proved by a number of experiments with the subject, who was an acupuncturist. Furthermore, since the heating element is of a pointed type on the head, moxibustion can be easily performed without cutting the hair without the hair being in the way. This invention uses a boron compound for the protective film (3), so it is excellent in abrasion resistance, and is in contact with a local part of the human body for 0 to 5 seconds for switch, 1 second for heating, 0 for off. It can withstand 200,000 uses in a cycle of 5 seconds for a total of 2 seconds. This is a cheap, durable and easy-to-use electric moxibustion device that has a durability of about 5 or 5 years even if used 100 times a day. Can supply. If moxibustion is performed using this invention, moxibustion can be performed once in only 1 to 2 seconds. For example, when treating back pain, 10 to 20 vases are used. When performing moxibustion moxibustion, even professionals take about 5 seconds to moxa moxibustion, so a total of about 20 minutes are required, but with this invention even ordinary people take only about 4 or 5 minutes and greatly moxibustion The time can be reduced and it is very effective in terms of time. Furthermore, because it is simple and safe, it can be used by children and the elderly, can be used even in the dark or after sleeping, and can perform moxibustion on its own as long as it is reachable without having to ask others to see.
