[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention takes advantage of the fact that, when a voltage is applied to a living body, the current flowing in the position of the pot of the living body is larger than the current flowing in positions other than the other pots, that is, the electric resistance is small, and the present invention utilizes the fact that The present invention relates to a moxibustion point (pot) searcher for searching for pots.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, moxibustion has been used as a technology to replace the search for moxibustion points limited to qualified acupuncturists with long experience training, and for effective treatment with widespread household low-frequency treatment equipment. Because of the need to accurately search for the position of a moxibustion point, a moxibustion point search device that searches for a moxibustion point (pot) by measuring electrical resistance has been developed.

[0003] Regarding the relationship between the electrical resistance measured by this type of moxibustion point searching device and the moxibustion point, there are a large number of cases in which the current conduction resistance of the skin in a living body is examined using a wet conductor. A good guide point (a site where electric resistance is low and electric current easily flows), that is, a large number of moxibustion points (electro-permable points) can be found. This is because when the sympathetic nervous system is highly excitable, the cells are in a depolarized state and the electricity is easy to pass through. The skin electrical conduction resistance is also affected by perspiration, and when a metal electrode is used, even a small amount of perspiration will have a delicate change in the skin electrical conduction resistance, so it is better to use a wet electrode as much as possible. To become.

In a conventional moxibustion point searching device, a gripping electrode and a tip electrode of a search rod are connected to each tip of two cords ejected from the main body, and the respective tips are short-circuited for measurement, and After adjusting the sensitivity, hold the gripping electrode in one hand and search for the moxibustion point with the search stick held in the other hand.During this search, the different operations that occur on the indicator or sounder equipped on the main unit The position of the moxibustion point was determined while monitoring the degree.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, the conventional moxibustion point searcher must be used with both hands, and it is necessary to adjust the sensitivity level after turning on the switch provided on the main unit. There was also a need to be careful not to entangle the cords used, which made the use of letters inconvenient.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and an object of the present invention is to enable a search for a moxibustion point while grasping with only one hand, and to use a fingertip of the grasped one hand. It is an object of the present invention to provide a moxibustion point search device which enables the sensitivity to be changed more easily so that the moxibustion point search can be easily performed.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the moxibustion point locator of the present invention employs a pencil type, a locating needle which is one of the electrodes is protruded at the tip, and a hole facing the protruding piece of the sensitivity switcher and light emission. The diode is formed by a tip cylinder made of an insulator provided around it and a cylinder made of an electric conductor, which is the other electrode, and a switching element, various resistors, and the like are formed in the formed cylinder. It is characterized in that it is configured to house an electronic selection circuit consisting of a printed circuit board, a sensitivity switch, a battery, wiring and the like.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the simple pencil-type moxibustion point locator of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a simple pencil-type moxibustion point searcher. An electric good conductor, for example, a cylindrical body 4 made of a metal material, and a search needle 11 of an electric good conductor are fixedly mounted at the distal end. A tapered distal end cylindrical body 1 made of an insulating material having a long hole 12 and a small hole 51 formed in an enclosure, and a lid 20 are connected to each other. While being closed by the lid 20 via a spring 21, the protruding piece 80 of the sensitivity switch 8 slidable in each of the long hole 12 and the small hole 51 of the tapered tip cylinder 1 and a light emitting diode display ( The light emitting diode itself may be referred to.) In order to correspond to the light emitting diode 5, the sensitivity switch 8 having a sensitivity switching contact (not shown) and the electronic selection circuit 7 are connected to the cylinder 4. It is stored between the front 41 and the tapered cylindrical body 1. The electronic selection circuit 7 is a Darlington-connected switching element 71 composed of a transistor (not shown) for amplifying a small signal, resistors R1, R2, R3, and R4 having different resistance values and terminals (not shown). ), And the AA batteries 6 are connected through the wiring 9. The simple pencil-type moxibustion point searcher having such a structure enables the protruding piece 80 of the sensitivity switch 8 to be operated with a fingertip while holding it through the cylindrical body 4 which is a good electric conductor. Can be easily switched. Although the lid 14 is attached to the rear of the cylindrical body 4, it is also possible in design to close the rear part of the cylindrical body 4 so as to have the same function as the lid 20. .

FIG. 2 is an overall wiring diagram of an electronic selection circuit and the like applied to FIG. 1, wherein one hand 3 of a living body gripping the cylinder 4 and the search needle, using the cylinder 4 and the search needle 11 as respective electrodes. A closed circuit is formed via the wiring 9 by the portion 2 of the pot of the living body with which the tip of 11 contacts.

The metal tube 4 in the entire wiring is connected to the anode of the AA battery 6 and the cathode of the light emitting diode 5, while the anode of the light emitting diode 5 is connected to a Darlington connection comprising transistors Tr1 and Tr2 for small signal amplification. Is connected to the collector of the switching element 71. The base of the switching element 71 is connected to the probe 11 and the terminals 70, 72, 73, 74 via the resistor R1 (eg, 2.2 KΩ) and the resistor R2 (eg, 330 KΩ) for obtaining various sensitivity values. , R3 (for example, 200 KΩ) and R4 (for example, 1 MΩ), and the resistor R4, the common terminal of the sensitivity switch 8, the emitter of the switching element 71, and the negative electrode of the AA battery 6 are connected in common. Have been.

Here, the operation of searching for a moxibustion point in the general wiring diagram (see FIG. 2) when using a simple pencil-type moxibustion point searcher will be described.

FIG. 2 shows a state in which the sensitivity switching contact 81 of the sensitivity switching device 8 is set to the terminal 70 of the electronic selection circuit 7 and preparation for searching for a moxibustion point is performed. In this preparation state, since the sensitivity switching contact 81 is short-circuited to the terminal 70 having a resistance value of 0 as compared with the resistance R1, it is connected to the outer cylinder 4 in the simple pencil type moxibustion point searcher. Even if the search needle 11 is short-circuited through the hand 3 of the living body itself and the desired search site 2 of the moxibustion point, the switching element 71 is not activated, so that the light emitting diode 5 does not turn on. However, when the resistors R2, R3, and R4 are applied between the base and the emitter of the switching element 71, the switching element 71 can be activated. For example, when the terminal 74 is selected, the resistance value (the sum of the resistances R2, R3, and R4) that is larger than the sum of the resistances of the resistors R2 and R3 when the terminal 73 is selected. Resistance value), and a resistance value that is larger than the resistance value of the resistor R2 when the terminal 72 is selected (added resistance value of each of the resistors R2, R3, and R4). It will be.

Next, the search for the moxibustion point is started. First, the contact 81 for switching the sensitivity of the sensitivity switch 8 is connected to each terminal 72 in the electronic selection circuit 7 with the fingertip of the hand holding the moxibustion point searcher. , 73, and 74 are connected to the resistor R2 corresponding to a low sensitivity value among the resistors R2, R3, and R4 of the sensitivity switch 8, and the moxibustion point searcher searches for the living body. The needle 11 is lightly pressed to a desired moxibustion point search site. If the light emitting diode 5 is turned on at the time of this pressing, this pressed part has been searched as a moxibustion point part. Then, if necessary, pressing on other parts of the living body is repeated to search for many moxibustion point parts. However, due to the various constitutions of the living body and the difference in skin resistance at each search site of the living body itself, the light emitting diode 5 does not turn on at the resistor R2 corresponding to a low sensitivity value, and the purpose of searching for a moxibustion point is difficult. There are cases where this cannot be achieved. In such a case, while keeping the moxibustion point seeker pressed, the sensitivity switching contact 81 of the sensitivity switch 8 is moved by the fingertip of the hand holding the moxibustion point seeker to the electronic selection circuit 7. One of the terminals 73 and 74 may be selectively switched to be connected to one of the resistors R3 and R4 of the sensitivity switch 8 to increase the sensitivity and check the lighting of the light emitting diode 5. In order to prevent the battery from being consumed, it is possible to provide a switch for turning the power on or off on the wiring 9.
