Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of a power generation element for inducing an electric field on a creeping surface in a living space.

  It has been found that an electric field is formed in a space close to a direct current or alternating current power source. This electric field strength decreases in inverse proportion to the distance from the power source, and it is difficult to economically form an electric field on an arbitrary creepage surface. Under such circumstances, the electric field is rarely used every day.

  In addition, although this electric field has a deep relationship with life-sustaining activities of living organisms, such as bactericidal action, maintenance and improvement of muscle and nerve functions, or improvement of some diseases, it is not fully understood, but health maintenance It is not utilized in.

Many lifestyle-related diseases including cancer are thought to be caused mainly by active oxygen. Active oxygen exists as a series of compounds containing oxygen-deficient oxygen in the molecule. As a countermeasure against this active oxygen, various antioxidants have been announced and marketed, but all of them are taken orally, and they are expired while passing through the gastrointestinal tract and cannot be fully effective. . It will be the best antioxidant if it can eliminate the electron deficiency state of active oxygen by sending electrons from the outside and acting directly on the electrons, but currently it is mainly derived from animals and plants like vitamin C, vitamin E or polyphenol It is the situation that there is only a method of ingesting these organic compounds as an antioxidant. The substance of the electric field is an electrical phenomenon caused by the action of electrons, and if this electron can be used to contribute to health improvement, the best effect can be obtained, but so far the concept of using this electron is incorporated. Some treatments have just started, and there are still few examples.

  By developing an electric field along the desired surface shape, (1) sterilization (2) functional improvement of muscles and nerves, etc. (3) treatment of diseases using electric fields, and development of power generation elements that enable these three points The task is to do.

  The present invention provides one or more kinds selected from paper, nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, polymer material film, polymer material net or perforated polymer material sheet whose first layer is conductively processed. Magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, titanium, nickel, tin, chrome, copper, silver, platinum, gold, carbon coated sheet or graphite sheet made of material and in contact with the second layer on the surface, back surface or both surfaces of the first layer A laminated composition comprising one or more conductors selected from: an electrolyte of a chemical half battery, an electrode of a chemical half battery, a positive electrode of a chemical battery, or a negative electrode of a chemical battery, This is a power generating element capable of generating a voltage of 10 to 2000 mV between the exposed surfaces of the second layer.

  The first layer of the present invention consists of a conductor in contact with the front surface, back surface, or both surfaces, a chemical half-cell electrolyte, a chemical half-cell electrode, a chemical cell positive electrode or a chemical cell negative electrode vertical and horizontal perforated size and perforated area. It has the above vertical and horizontal dimensions and area. This spreads the electric field throughout the first layer, resulting in a large area electric field with a small conductor, small chemical half-cell or chemical cell. Here, the dimension or area generated from the reason of battery electrode design or battery assembly processing is not included in the perforated dimension or perforated area.

  The first-layer conductive processing is performed by adhering magnesium foil, aluminum foil or net on one side of the base paper, nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, polymer material film or perforated polymer sheet, and vacuum deposition of aluminum. The formation of a conductive polymer film, the application of an electrolyte, or the addition of an electrolyte or a conductive material to a substrate to impart conductivity to the substrate. The conductive sheet material thus obtained can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, the method by applying an electrolyte is a preferable method because the process is simple. The electrolyte is preferably an electrolyte such as chitosan, cationic surfactant, cationic polyelectrolyte, ionic liquid, phospholipids, alginates, lecithin, collagen or gelatin. Two or more kinds of electrolytes can be used in combination. As a result, stable power generation for a long time is obtained, and the fastness to washing is improved. The power generation capacity of this electrolyte may decrease with use. At that time, it can be recovered by applying and drying the electrolyte again. As a coating method at that time, a dipping method, a roller coating method, and a spray coating method are preferable.

  Chemical half-cells consist of one or two conductors selected from magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, titanium, nickel, tin, chrome, copper, silver, platinum, gold, conductive polymers, carbon coated sheets or graphite sheets. Electrode layer consisting of layers containing more than one type of conductor, paper containing electrolyte, nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, polymer electrolyte membrane, electrolyte permeable membrane, ionic liquid, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, phospholipids, alginates, glue, It is a laminated structure composed of a two-layer structure of an electrolyte layer capable of ion conduction containing one or two or more substances selected from casein, a water-absorbing polymer gel, a surfactant, or a water-retaining and moisturizing emulsified mixture.

  The chemical battery is made of magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, titanium, nickel, tin, chrome, copper, silver, platinum, gold, a conductive polymer, a carbon coated sheet or a graphite sheet, or 2 Electrode (1) composed of layers containing more than one type of conductor, paper containing electrolyte, nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, polymer electrolyte membrane, electrolyte permeable membrane, ionic liquid, chitosan, collagen, gelatin, phospholipids, alginates A layer capable of ion conduction containing one or more substances selected from glue, casein, water-absorbing polymer gel, surfactant or water-retaining and moisturizing emulsified mixture, magnesium, aluminum, zinc, iron, Different from electrode (1) selected from titanium, nickel, tin, chrome, copper, silver, platinum, gold, conductive polymer, carbon coated sheet or graphite sheet It is one of the conductors or laminate structure of three-layer structure consisting of the other electrode made of a layer (2) containing two or more conductors. The first layer can also serve as an electrolyte for a chemical battery. At that time, the electrode (1) and the electrode (2) are arranged on the front surface, back surface or both surfaces of the first layer. When electrodes are arranged on both sides, the polarity of the electrodes and the mutual positional relationship can be arbitrarily selected. The same applies to the chemical half-cell described in the previous section.

  Carbon coated sheets are made of powdered graphite or carbon black, or a mixture of gelatin, glue, casein, or polymer material as a binder, and this is made of paper, non-woven fabric, woven fabric, polymer material mesh or A conductive sheet applied and dried on a film made of a porous polymer material.

  The graphite sheet is mainly used as a packing material obtained by press-molding graphite into a sheet shape. This graphite sheet preferably has a void filled with an electrolyte. This method is preferable because it is easy and reliable to impregnate a graphite sheet with a liquid electrolyte.

  A commercially available button-type battery, coin-type battery or cylindrical battery can also be used as the chemical battery. The output may be rated 12 volts or less. In the dry battery, since the positive electrode and the negative electrode are close to each other, it is preferable to take measures such as attaching an insulating tape to the boundary between the two electrodes in consideration of the insulation between the two electrodes. In the cylindrical dry battery, an electrode can be indirectly connected to the first layer using a lead wire.

  The electrode in a non-contact state in the first layer covers and protects the exposed surface with a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, a net made of a polymer material, or a film made of a polymer material, and prevents damage caused by movement of the living body or external force. In particular, it is preferable to protect the exposed metal or carbon on the surface in contact with the living body surface. As a result, leakage of current into the power generation element can be prevented, and the risk of damaging the living body is reduced. In the experiments of the present inventors, the leakage current value of the battery was 1 mA or less. A large current value is not preferable because the consumption of the negative electrode increases.

  In the case of a living body, this power generation element can be attached to affected areas such as the sole, ankle, thigh, waist, abdomen, chest, or head using attachments such as adhesive tape, magic tape, and a special band. In addition to wearing directly near the artery, clothing, footwear, accessories, bedding, furniture, building interiors, toys, household or commercial appliances, tableware, office supplies, kitchen appliances Attached by any known method suitable for each kind of medical device, medical instrument, animal rearing indoor equipment, animal rearing instrument, or packaging material of goods. It is also possible to perform the conductive processing on the fibers, classes, plastic sheets, and nets forming clothing, footwear or accessories, and to have the function of the first layer by the method of the present invention.

  Even when a medicinal substance such as an antipyretic agent, an analgesic agent, a wound treatment agent, a skin peeling agent, an antiallergic agent, an adhesive, a moisturizer or an anti-electric double layer agent is interposed when the power generation element is attached to a living body, Since no influence is seen in the generation of an electric field in a living body, it is preferable to adopt this method when obtaining immediate effect.

  In addition to being attached to living bodies, this power generating element is also used for building interiors, toys, tableware, office supplies, office equipment, kitchen equipment, medical equipment, animal rearing indoor equipment, animal rearing equipment, Or it is used to attach a bactericidal action to the packaging material of the article. The mounting method is performed by an arbitrary method suitable for each application.

When the power generating element of the present invention is worn on the waist, the back pain and joint pain disappear, and the urination at night is improved about once a night for the elderly. In defecation, constipation and diarrhea are almost eliminated, and they are excreted regularly every day. It is also effective in improving symptoms such as itching and tinnitus.
There are cases where bile duct stones and heartburn are alleviated. In the head, hair loss is reduced and hair growth is also observed.
In addition to the improvement of cases that could not be achieved by conventional direct current electrotherapy, as described in the previous section, in many cases in life, it has continued to be effective at the opportunity to require sterilization. Demonstrate.
Such an effect of the present invention is due to the fact that it is possible to continuously generate the necessary electric field in the required space.
In the conventional electrotherapy device, only an electric circuit is formed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electric field cannot be induced in a wide space as required in the present invention.

The first layer of the power generating element of the present invention is a cloth woven using rayon fiber (for example, Ohmi Kenshi) spun 5 to 20%, preferably 10 to 15%, of chitosan (for example, chitosan manufactured by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) that is an electrolyte derived from a natural product. A product obtained by applying 10-15 g / m ² of a solid polymer electrolyte (for example, cationic electrolyte, PAS-J-81 manufactured by Nittobo Co., Ltd.) to IKK-116 Gravion Smooth manufactured and dried is preferable. In addition to the rayon woven fabric, commercially available socks made of cotton and polyester (basis weight is preferably about 100 g / m ² ) can be used as the first layer to make a sock with a power generating element. For such applications that adhere to a living body, a safe electrolyte derived from a living body such as gelatin (manufactured by Zelice Co., Ltd., gelatin AU-P for food addition) is used. In addition to cloths, the same effect can be obtained and practically obtained by applying a cationic surfactant or a solid polymer electrolyte to a polymer material film, for example, a PET film.

  An aluminum foil (Mitsubishi Aluminum Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi aluminum foil, thickness 0.012 mm) is suitable for the second layer of the power generation element. The size may be around 10 × 20 mm. This is brought into contact with the surface of the first layer and fixed with an adhesive tape. At this time, the maximum size of the first layer is about 20 cm × 30 cm, and an aluminum foil is fixed substantially at the center. For socks, secure with tape near the outer arch. In this state, a voltage of about 150 mV can be measured on the outer exposed surfaces of the aluminum foil and the first layer. When the size of the first layer is 30 cm or more, a plurality of aluminum foils are arranged at an appropriate distance of about one piece over 30 cm. This distance depends on the electrical resistance of the first layer. When a chemical half battery or a chemical battery is used for the second layer, a plurality of them can be arranged based on the same concept.

  As the electrolyte, in addition to the above chitosan and gelatin, synthetic phospholipid agent (for example, MPC resin manufactured by NOF Corporation) or natural phospholipid agent (for example, lecithin manufactured by Sakai Oil Co., Ltd.) polymer electrolyte membrane (for example, Sekisui Chemical Techno-Guide Co., Ltd., CR type, 0.5 mm thick) surfactants (for example, Kao Co., Ltd., Cotamine D86P Conch) also use a liquid electrolyte, so the output fluctuation due to stickiness and drying It can be used with little discomfort when worn. Further, the surfactant is preferably solidified by applying different types of ions, so that the fastness is improved and stickiness is eliminated when applied to clothing such as socks.

  In addition to the aluminum foil, the negative electrode is preferably a magnesium foil (manufactured by Mitsubishi Steel Corporation, pure magne, thickness 0.2 mm). When the magnesium electrode is used, the battery output can be as high as 1000 to 2000 mV. The positive electrode is preferably a copper foil, a carbon coated sheet or a graphite sheet. It is preferable that the chemical battery is configured by combining these positive and negative electrodes.

As for the size of the chemical half-cell or chemical cell, a size of 10 to 20 mm is easy to use. The length of the side of the first layer at this time can be a rectangle of 30 cm or more. In this state, for example, a chemical battery using a magnesium electrode exhibits an electric field of about 150 mV on the exposed surface of the first layer. At that time, the voltage on the surface of the living body shows the opposite polarity. That is, when the first layer voltage is negative, the living body is positive, and when the first layer voltage is positive, the living body is negative.
The chemical half battery or the chemical battery is preferably fixed to the first layer with an adhesive film (double-sided adhesive tape manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation) or a hot melt type film adhesive (Elfan NT manufactured by Nippon Matai Co., Ltd.). Thereby, electrical insulation from the outside can also be achieved.
The treatment device having the above-described laminated structure is preferably attached to a biological surface such as a sole, abdomen, or head using a medical tape. At this time, the medical tape can also serve to insulate the electrode not in contact with the first layer from the outside. Place painful areas such as joint pain near the affected area. Basically, the sole is positive and the other part is a negative electrode. Locally affected areas such as myalgia have been found to have immediate effect when the positive electrode is brought into contact with the surface of the living body.
In addition to affixing and fixing with tape etc., interior materials such as stomach wraps, breast pads, shoes, socks, and hats, and interior materials such as footwear, jewelry, and carpets are first processed by conducting conductive processing on the fibers forming them. It can be used as a power generation element with a layer function. These conductive fibers are subject to contamination with use, but can be washed in the same way as normal clothing. When the power generation capacity is reduced by washing, the power generation capacity can be recovered by immersion drying or spray drying of the electrolyte.

  In addition to the health use described above, the power generating element of the present invention can be widely used for sterilization. The structure of the power generation element at that time can be selected widely from a nonwoven fabric, a plastic film, and the like as a base material. As the electrolyte, lecithin and gelatin are preferable choices as safe substances. As the battery, it is possible to enhance convenience and sterilization effect by using a commercially available dry battery having a large output.

  We believe that the expected problem of the present invention, which is to improve sterilization and health by electric field effect, will be solved and will become cost effective and become a big industry.
