The present invention relates to a device for applying a voltage to the human body, and more specifically, it is adapted ^to allow a weak and fine current (10 ^to 10,000 uA) to flow through the human body for the purpose of beauty, massage, pain relief, etc. It relates to a device that applies a usable voltage.

Conventionally, in fields such as beauty and massage, a voltage application device is used to obtain a weak current flowing in a human body.

For example, in Japan, utility model registration No. 3119782, a voltage device is used in a health and beauty equipment having an energy wave generator and two electric electrodes connected to the energy wave generator by electric wires. Yes. In the above document, the foot of a person who is massaged by one electric electrode (the person to be treated) is placed barefoot, and at the same time, the beautician or masseur (the practitioner) steps on the other electric electrode with the foot. Thus, it is described that the effect of the massage is provided when both hands of the practitioner come into contact with the person receiving the massage.

However, the prior art as described above has the following problems.

Conventional voltage application devices have only one electrode that can be stepped on by practitioners such as hairdressers and masseurs. Therefore, the practitioner is forced to perform the treatment by being located at one place with respect to the practitioner who receives the treatment by the practitioner. Therefore, the posture of the practitioner is likely to become unstable, and it is difficult to adjust the current by the sole of the foot.

In addition, there are many restrictions for the practitioner to perform treatment using both hands for each treatment site of the practitioner, and the degree of freedom of the treatment is low.

When the present invention is used to allow a weak current to flow to the patient through the practitioner's hand, the practitioner can easily adjust the current by the sole of the foot, and the degree of freedom of the treatment can be improved. An electrode arrangement is proposed.

In addition, the present invention applies a current to the subject in substantially the same manner as long as the electrode is stepped on by the same operator under the same conditions regardless of the position of the electrode used by the operator. An object is to provide a device for applying a voltage to a human body capable of flowing.

According to the present invention, a voltage applying unit for applying a voltage to a human body is capable of strongly applying an input AC voltage, and includes a first output terminal for outputting an AC voltage to be strongly boosted and a second starting rectifier; First connecting means electrically connected to the output terminal: first electrode electrically connected to the tip of the first connecting means; second connecting means electrically connected to the private 2 output terminal: A second electrode electrically connected to the tip of the second connecting means; a third connecting means electrically connected to the second electrode; an electrical connection to the tip of the third connecting means. A third electrode; a fourth connecting means electrically connected to the second electrode; and a fourth electrode electrically connected to a distal end portion of the fourth connecting means. The four electrodes are configured in parallel with respect to the second electrode.

The third electrode and the fourth electrode further include respective electrodes connected in series to each other.

  Further, when the electrodes are configured in series, the electrical conductivity of the subsequent electrode connected in series to the third electrode is made larger than the conductivity of the third electrode.

According to the voltage approving device, the first electrode is brought into contact with a part of the body of the patient, and a voltage is generated when one of the plurality of second electrodes is stepped on the sole of the foot with the bare foot. The electric current based on the alternating voltage output by the part can be made to flow to the treatment site of the patient through the operator's hand.

According to the voltage applying device, it is possible to arrange a plurality of second electrodes configured to surround the subject who lies on the bed on the floor or the like.
Thus, the practitioner can perform the treatment while moving between the plurality of second electrodes in accordance with each treatment site of the practitioner. As a result, the practitioner does not need to touch the treatment site with an unreasonable posture during the treatment. Therefore, it is possible for the practitioner to perform the treatment in a stable posture, and in order to be able to change the stepping method of the second electrode even in a stable posture, the ground contact area of the sole of the foot to be grounded to the second electrode and the second The weight when the electrode is attached to the foot can be finely adjusted. Therefore, according to the said voltage application apparatus, it is easy for a practitioner to adjust an electric current with a leg | foot, and can improve the freedom degree of a treatment.

Furthermore, according to the voltage application device, as long as any of the second electrodes having a plurality of electrodes is stepped on by the practitioner, as long as the second electrode is stepped on by the same practitioner under the same conditions. The current can be passed substantially the same for the subject. Therefore, the practitioner can perform a procedure with less unevenness between the surgical sites at the respective locations where the second electrodes are arranged.

In this case, the first electrode is used in contact with a part of the body of the patient. Further, the second electrode is used by being stepped on the sole of the practitioner who is barefoot. The bare foot state includes not only a case where the practitioner is bare feet, but also a state where electricity can flow through the soles together with the bare feet by wearing conductive socks on the bare feet.

  In the voltage application device, the voltage generator (2) can specifically drop the input AC voltage with a plurality of AC voltages, and the first AC terminal (21) ) And the second output terminal (22). In this case, each current based on each AC voltage having a different output can be supplied to the treatment site of the patient through the operator's hand. Incidentally, the voltage generator can drop the input AC voltage to a predetermined AC voltage once or in multiple stages.

  In the voltage application device, it is desirable that the electrical resistance values of the plurality of connecting means (cables) are substantially the same. In this case, even if any second electrode is stepped on by the practitioner among the plurality of second electrodes arranged in series or in parallel / in series, the second practicum is used by the same practitioner under the same conditions. As long as is stepped on, it becomes easy to allow a current to flow in the same manner for the subject.

Further, the number of the second electrodes can be desirably 7 or less, more desirably 6 or less. When the number of the second electrodes is very large, it takes time to manufacture the voltage application device and to remove the second electrodes. If the upper limit of the number of second electrodes is within the above range, it is easy to suppress the occurrence of the above problem.

  In the voltage application device, the voltage generator can have a modulation circuit for converting the frequency of the input AC voltage to a frequency lower than the frequency of the input AC voltage. In this case, the frequency of the input AC voltage is different. For example, an AC voltage having a frequency suitable for the human body can be output.

In this case, an AC voltage having a wave or a frequency close to that of the wave can be output. In this case, the practitioner can perform the treatment with the treatment subject more relaxed. In addition, the AC voltage having the above frequency can be realized by converting the frequency of the input AC voltage through the modulation circuit.

The above frequency is desirably 6 Hz or more, more desirably 6.5 Hz or more, and further desirably 7 Hz or more. In addition, the above-mentioned frequency can be desirably 18 Hz or less, more desirably 16 Hz or less, further desirably 14 Hz or less, and even more desirably 13 Hz or less.
