[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an electric therapy device that treats stiff shoulders and coldness by applying heat or voltage stimulation to the human body.In particular, an electric potential therapy device, a thermal therapy device, and a low frequency therapy device are integrated into one. The present invention relates to an electric therapy device each of which can be controlled by a controller.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 BACKGROUND ART Potential therapy devices, thermal therapy devices, low-frequency therapy devices, and the like have been used for the purpose of alleviating symptoms such as stiff shoulders, chilliness, back pain, joint pain, and insomnia.

[0003] Here, the electric potential treatment device conducts electric potential treatment by inducing a high voltage to a human body. Specifically, an electrode is provided on a bedding or the like, a high potential is provided between the electrodes, and a human body is disposed therebetween. In this way, the blood leaning to the acidic side is alkalized by the action of negative potential, alleviating headache, shoulder stiffness, insomnia, chronic constipation, strengthening immunity, improving wound healing, and easily healing bone fractures In addition, it is possible to obtain effects such as protection from excessive reaction of active oxygen, promotion of enzyme reaction, and autonomic nervous regulation.

[0004] A thermotherapy device is a device for applying heat to a human body to perform thermotherapy. Specifically, a heating wire or the like is provided on bedding or the like, and a voltage is applied to the heating wire to generate heat, thereby giving heat to a human body. This provides a warming effect, which can be used to recover from fatigue and enhance metabolism, improve blood circulation, relieve muscle fatigue, relieve muscle stiffness, relieve neuralgia and muscle pain, and improve gastrointestinal functions. The effect can be obtained.

[0005] Further, the low-frequency treatment device is for applying a low-frequency pulse to a human body to perform low-frequency treatment. Specifically, electrodes are attached to shoulders, hips, etc., and low-frequency pulses are rhythmically applied to the electrodes. As a result, low-frequency stimulation is given to the stiffened muscle, which promotes blood circulation, has effects such as recovery from fatigue, improvement of blood circulation, and relief of pain of neuralgia and muscle pain.

Conventionally, these potential therapy devices, thermal therapy devices, and low-frequency therapy devices are provided to the user in a separated state, and each has a power plug, a power switch, an adjustment knob, a timer, and the like. The controller was connected.

[0007]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, as described above, since each therapy device has a controller, if it is desired to use the therapy devices at the same time, for example, to set a timer at bedtime and perform therapy while sleeping, etc. The switch must be turned on and each controller must be set, which makes the operation complicated. Especially when used by elderly people, it is difficult to use a plurality of treatment devices because the treatment device different from the one used may be turned on. In addition, since the power plug of each treatment device must be plugged into the outlet, the outlet may not be enough and the octopus may be wired, which is dangerous.

[0008] In view of such circumstances, the present invention is intended to provide an electric therapy device in which a potential therapy device, a thermal therapy device, and a low-frequency therapy device are integrated and each can be controlled by one controller. .

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-described object of the present invention, the electrotherapy device according to the present invention conducts a high voltage to a human body, a potential therapy means for performing a potential therapy, and gives heat to the human body to perform a thermal therapy. And low-frequency treatment means for applying a low-frequency pulse to the human body to perform low-frequency treatment, and at least one of the potential treatment means, heat treatment means, and low-frequency treatment means. And a control means for controlling the electric potential treatment means, the heat treatment means and the low frequency treatment means.

Here, the selector can simultaneously select two or more of the electric potential treatment means, the heat treatment means and the low frequency treatment means.

Further, the selector has an automatic switching means, and can automatically switch the selection of the electric potential treatment means, the heat treatment means and the low frequency treatment means at predetermined time intervals.

According to the above means, the following effects can be obtained. That is, since the electric potential treatment device, the thermal treatment device, and the low-frequency treatment device can be controlled by a single controller, the operation is easy. In addition, since the power supply can be shared, only one power plug is required, and octopus wiring is not required. Furthermore, since the device itself is compact, troublesome storage is reduced. In addition, since the common parts of each treatment device can be omitted, the cost of the entire apparatus can be reduced.

[0013]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an example of the electrotherapy device of the present invention. As shown, a controller 2 is connected to the treatment unit 1. The treatment section 1 has a potential treatment means 3, a heat treatment means 4, and a low frequency treatment means 5. Further, the controller 2 has a selector 6 for selecting any one of the electric potential treatment means 3, the heat treatment means 4, and the low frequency treatment means 5, and each treatment means is connected to the selector 6. ing .

FIG. 2 shows an example of the appearance of the controller 2 in the electrotherapy device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the controller 2 of the electrotherapy device according to the present invention is provided with switches labeled “potential”, “heat”, and “low frequency”, and any one of these switches must be pressed. Then, the operation of any one of the potential treatment means 3, the heat treatment means 4, and the low-frequency treatment means 5 corresponding thereto is started. In addition, a temperature adjustment knob necessary for heat treatment, a low-frequency pulse intensity adjustment knob necessary for low-frequency treatment, a timer for setting an operation time, and the like are appropriately arranged in the controller 2. The external appearance of the controller 2 is not limited to the external appearance shown in the figure, but can be variously applied as long as each treatment means can be selected by a selector.

Next, the operation flow of the electrotherapy device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. It is to be noted that the figure is a general operation flow, and it is needless to say that various operation flows not limited to this are applicable to the present invention.

When using the electric therapy apparatus of the present invention, first, a power switch provided in the controller 2 is turned on (step 301). Next, it is detected whether or not the "potential" button of the controller 2 has been pressed (step 302). When the "potential" button is pressed, the potential treatment is started (step 303). If the "potential" button has not been pressed, it is detected whether the "heat" button has been pressed (step 304). If the "heat" button is pressed, the heat treatment is started (step 305). Further, if the "warm" button has not been pressed, it is detected whether the "low frequency" button has been pressed (step 306). When the "low frequency" button is pressed, low frequency treatment is started (step 307). If the "low frequency" button has not been pressed, the process returns to step 302 again to detect whether the "potential" button has been pressed unless the power switch is OFF. If the power switch is off, the process ends.

Here, as shown in the figure, as shown by the broken line after steps 302, 304, and 306, whether or not another button is pressed even if the button is pressed is detected. It is possible to simultaneously select two or more of the electric potential treatment means 3, the heat treatment means 4, and the low-frequency treatment means 5 to perform treatment simultaneously. By treating at the same time, the synergistic effect can be expected to have a greater effect than treating with a single treatment.

In addition, it is of course possible to perform the treatment efficiently by switching the potential treatment means 3, the heat treatment means 4, and the low-frequency treatment means 5 in this order without performing the treatment at the same time. Specifically, an automatic switching device is provided in the selector 6, and the selection of the potential treatment means 3, the thermal treatment means 4, and the low-frequency treatment means 5 is automatically switched at predetermined intervals. In this way, efficient treatment can be automatically performed without the user's awareness.

The electrotherapy device according to the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example described above, and it is needless to say that various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, the treatment means is not limited to a potential treatment device, a thermal treatment device, or a low-frequency treatment device, and various treatment devices such as a massaging device can be combined.

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, according to the electrotherapy device of the present invention, the electric potential therapy device, the thermal therapy device, and the low-frequency therapy device can be controlled by one controller as a single unit. Since only one power plug is required, no octopus wiring is required. Further, since multiple treatments can be performed simultaneously, efficient treatment can be performed. In addition, since the treatment procedure can be automatically switched at predetermined intervals by the automatic switching device, it is possible to achieve an excellent effect that more efficient treatment can be performed. Furthermore, since the number of parts can be greatly reduced as compared with the case where each treatment device is manufactured separately, the device itself can be manufactured at low cost.
