Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a magnetic health device, and more particularly to a magnetic health device that provides a therapeutic effect by magnetism and a massage effect by vibration.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Many studies have been conducted on the influence of magnetism on living organisms, and a wide range of research has been conducted from basic research to application. In considering the influence of magnetism on a living body, two kinds of effects, a stationary magnetic effect and a variable magnetic effect, are necessary, and these effects are considered to be different as actions on the living body.
[0003]
Despite many studies, the stationary magnetic effect has not yet been clarified. However, there are paramagnetic substances in the living body that do not have the properties of magnets but have the property of being attracted to magnets while being weak. As a typical paramagnetic substance in a living body, hemoglobin and oxygen in red blood cells in blood are raised. It is thought that these in vivo paramagnetic substances have some involvement in the stationary magnetic effect.
[0004]
On the other hand, the variable magnetic effect has been clarified to some extent. Tissues and body fluids constituting a living body are all made of a conductor that conducts electricity. Therefore, by applying variable magnetism to a living body, the amount of magnetic flux changes, electromagnetic induction occurs, and an ionic current flows in the living body as an eddy current. Thereby, it is thought that excitement of the cell membrane is caused, that is, it appears as a stimulating effect. It also affects blood ions and is thought to be effective in promoting blood circulation.
[0005]
Magnetic therapy devices have been proposed as products that apply stationary magnetic effects and fluctuating magnetic effects in living bodies.
[0006]
For the application of the stationary magnetic effect, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-57510, a plurality of disk-like permanent magnets are embedded in a circular synthetic resin sheet at regular intervals. There is a magnetic therapy device. By arranging this so as to contact the human body, an analgesic effect can be given to back pain.
[0007]
For the application of the fluctuating magnetic effect, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-285539, a rod-shaped magnet for generating a magnetic field, and a clockwise rotation around the axis connecting the S and N poles of the magnet There is a magnetic therapy device that includes a rotating means for rotating at high speed, and rotates the magnetic field by rotating the magnetic pole by rotating the south pole of the magnet facing the irradiation target. In this treatment device, rotation of the magnetic field occurs, the cells can be restored to a normal state, and a high therapeutic effect can be obtained.
[0008]
In addition to the magnetic effect, a magnetic therapy device capable of massaging an affected part by applying mechanical vibration is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-5147. The magnetic therapy device comprises an annular pulse electromagnetic field generator electrically connected to the pulse generator, and a vibration generator that operates within the ring of the pulse electromagnetic field generator. A permanent magnet is attached to a part, a coil is wound on the remaining part, and display lamps are connected to both ends of the coil. In this treatment device, an arm or a leg is inserted into the ring of the annular pulse electromagnetic field generator, and the action of the pulse electromagnetic field generator promotes the bone healing and blood circulation of the human body and emits from the vibration generator A massage effect can be given by vibration.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the magnetic therapy device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-57510 can obtain a steady magnetic effect, but cannot obtain a variable magnetic effect having a high therapeutic effect by applying stimulation that excites the cell membrane. There is.
[0010]
In the magnetic therapy device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-285539, the magnetic field rotates, but the amount of magnetic flux does not change in the region surrounding the affected area. There is a problem in that a fluctuating magnetic effect having a high therapeutic effect cannot be obtained because an ionic current in the living body due to induction does not occur. Moreover, since it does not have a structure capable of obtaining mechanical vibration, there is a problem that a massage effect by mechanical vibration cannot be obtained.
[0011]
Furthermore, in the magnetic therapy device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 5-5147, it is possible to obtain a fluctuating magnetic effect and a massage effect by mechanical vibration. However, since the pulse electromagnetic field generator is used in a state where an arm or a leg is passed through the annular portion, the change in the amount of magnetic flux occurs in a direction perpendicular to the skin surface of the arm or leg. Therefore, the eddy current due to electromagnetic induction caused by the change in the amount of magnetic flux occurs in a plane perpendicular to the length direction of the arms and legs. Thereby, it is perpendicular to the vector of blood flow in the arteries and veins running in the length direction of the arms and legs, and does not affect the flow of ions in the blood in the direction of blood flow. Therefore, there is a problem that it is not sufficient for promoting blood circulation. In addition, a vibration generator that operates within the ring of the pulse electromagnetic field generator to provide mechanical vibration is provided, and an electromagnetic field output from the pulse electromagnetic field generator for generating an electromagnetic field to be applied to the living body is provided. The vibration generator is operated by using a part of energy. Therefore, there is a problem that the loss of electromagnetic field energy other than the electromagnetic field energy used for treatment of a living body is large, resulting in high power consumption. Furthermore, since a pulse electromagnetic field generator is used, the apparatus becomes large, and there is a problem that it is difficult to make the entire magnetic therapy device small and light.
[0012]
The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, to obtain a variable magnetic effect having a high magnetic therapeutic effect, and at the same time, to obtain a massage effect by using a commercially available small vibration generator, a small size with low power consumption It is to provide a lightweight magnetic health device.
[0013]
[Means and Actions for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a magnetic health device according to the present invention is configured as follows.
[0014]
The first magnetic health device (corresponding to claim 1) is a magnetic health device that gives a therapeutic effect by magnetism and a massage effect by vibration to the affected area of a user. The magnetic rotating body includes a magnetic rotating body that is formed with an S pole and is rotated by a motor, and a vibration generating member that generates vibration by the rotation of the motor. The magnetic rotating body has a closed bottom surface at one end. The center of the bottom surface is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft of the motor so that the motor is housed in the magnetic rotating body, and the vibration generating member is the rotating shaft of the motor. When the motor rotates, the magnetic rotating body generates a variable magnetism and the vibration generating member generates a vibration, and the user is treated with the variable magnetism. Massa by effect and vibration Characterized by giving a di effect. Thereby, since the motor was accommodated using the internal space of the bottomed cylindrical magnetic rotating body, a small and light magnetic health device can be obtained.

[0016]
In the second magnetic health machine (corresponding to claim 2), the motor preferably includes an intermittent motor driving device for alternately rotating and stopping at regular time intervals. Characterized. Thereby, in addition to the variable magnetic effect when the magnetic rotator rotates by alternately repeating the rotation and stop of the magnetic rotator, a steady magnetic effect when the magnetic rotator is stopped can also be obtained.
[0017]
The third magnetic health device (corresponding to claim 3) is characterized in that, in the above configuration, preferably, when the rotation of the magnetic rotating body is stopped, the magnetic pole is stopped so that the north pole faces the affected area of the user. Thereby, since the stationary magnetism from the N pole hits the affected area of the user when the rotation of the magnetic rotating body is stopped, a larger stationary magnetic effect can be obtained in combination with the massage effect by the vibration during the rotation.
[0026]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027]
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a magnetic health device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The magnetic health device 1 is configured by attaching a magnetic rotating body 12 to one end of a rotating shaft 11 of a motor 10 and housing the motor 10 in a case 13 so as to fix the motor 10. In addition, the magnetic health device accommodates the battery 15 and the power switch 16 of the power supply unit 14 on the lid 17 side of the case 13 and attaches the motor drive circuit to the drive circuit board 18. It is designed to accommodate.
[0028]
The structure of the magnetic rotator 12 is shown in FIGS. (A) is a perspective view, (b) is a side view, (c) is a left end view, and (d) is a right end view. The magnetic rotating body 12 is divided into two halves (partitions) in the rotational direction, one is magnetized to the N pole 19 and the other is magnetized to the S pole 20, and then a part of the S pole 20 side is removed. The hole 21 for making it pass through the 10 rotating shafts 11 and fixing is opened. An anisotropic magnet having radial anisotropy is optimal as the material for the magnetic rotating body. In the present embodiment, a part of the S pole 20 side is removed, but the magnetic rotating body is divided into two halves (sections) in the rotational direction and one is attached to the N pole and the other is attached to the S pole. After magnetizing, a structure in which a part on the N pole side is removed may be used.
[0029]
The motor 10 is a small DC motor driven by a DC power source such as a battery, and the rotation shaft 11 of the motor has a length and a thickness that can be inserted into the hole 21 of the magnetic rotating body 12 and firmly fixed. In addition, it protrudes from the motor.
[0030]
As shown in FIG. 3, the power supply unit 14 includes a battery 15, a power switch 16, and a motor drive circuit. The motor drive circuit is for driving a motor that outputs a predetermined voltage from an output terminal connected to an external terminal 25 by inputting an output from the oscillator 24 including a crystal oscillator 22 and two capacitors 23 connected in parallel. It comprised with IC26. In the figure, 27 indicates a lead wire that connects the motor driving IC 26 and the anode side of the battery 15, and 28 indicates a lead wire that connects the motor driving IC 26 and the cathode side of the battery 15. Reference numeral 29 denotes a resistor for controlling the current flowing through the motor.
[0031]
Of the power supply unit 14, components other than the battery 15 and the power switch 16 are attached to the drive circuit board 18.
[0032]
The case 13 and the lid 17 are made of a nonmagnetic synthetic resin material. A window 30 is provided in the case main body so that the color of the magnet material such as the red color of the N pole 19 of the magnetic rotating body 12 accommodated in the case 13 and the ferrite of the S pole 20 can be seen.
[0033]
The power switch 16 includes a connection fitting 31 and a connection fitting 33 provided on the lid body 17. When the lid body 17 is closed with respect to the case body 13, the connection fitting 31 and the connection fitting 33 are connected to each other. It is configured to be in a connected state and energized.
[0034]
Next, the usage method and operation | movement of the magnetic health machine of this embodiment are demonstrated. By closing the lid 17 with respect to the case main body 13, the connection fitting 31 of the power switch 16 provided on the lid 17 and the connection fitting 33 are connected and become energized. As shown in FIG. 4, the magnetic health device 1 in this state is attached to an affected part such as a shoulder or waist of a human body (user) 34 with an adhesive tape 35.
[0035]
Since the magnetic health device 1 is in an energized state, the voltage of the battery 15 is output from the oscillator 24 as a pulse voltage having a constant period, for example, one pulse voltage per second, which is input to the motor driving IC 26. A high level pulse voltage is output to the output terminal 25 of the motor driving IC 26 at a constant cycle.
[0036]
Thereby, the motor 10 connected to the output terminal 25 repeats rotation (for example, 1 to 2 seconds) and rotation stop (for example, 5 to 10 seconds) alternately, and the magnetic rotating body 12 attached to the rotating shaft 11 of the motor 10. Repeats rotation and rotation stop. At the time of this stop, preferably, control is performed so that the N pole 19 of the magnetic rotating body 12 is directed toward the human body. As one method of this control, for example, it is conceivable to add a small magnet with the north pole facing the magnetic rotating body 12 on the inner upper part of the case 13. Thereby, when the magnetic rotator 12 stops, the N pole 19 side of the magnetic rotator 12 faces the human body.
[0037]
As a result, when the magnetic rotating body 12 rotates, the variable magnetism created so that the N pole and the S pole alternately face the affected area is applied to the affected area of the human body, and when the magnetic rotating body 12 stops rotating, the stationary magnetism is generated by the human body. It can be applied to the affected area of the body and can cause alternating magnetic effect and stationary magnetic effect. According to the above-described fluctuating magnetism, magnetism due to the N pole and magnetism due to the S pole are alternately and repeatedly applied to the affected area.
[0038]
Further, when the motor 10 rotates and the magnetic rotating body 12 rotates, a part of the S pole 20 of the magnetic rotating body 12 is removed, and the position of the center of gravity of the magnetic rotating body 12 is different from that of the rotating shaft 11. Therefore, mechanical vibration is generated in the entire case. This mechanical vibration provides a massage effect on the affected area where the magnetic health device 1 is attached.
[0039]
In the present embodiment, the driving of the motor 10 is alternately rotated and stopped. However, the driving of the motor 10 is only rotated, and the continuous fluctuation magnetic effect and mechanical vibration are generated. A typical massage effect may be caused.
[0040]
In the present embodiment, the magnetic rotator 12 is formed so as to have a shape in which a part of the S pole is removed and the center of gravity is decentered. However, as shown in FIG. A magnet magnetized so as to form an N pole 36 and an S pole 37 has a shape in which a center of gravity is decentered by cutting a part so that a surface perpendicular to the boundary surface 38 between the N pole 36 and the S pole 37 is formed. By attaching the magnetic rotating body 39 formed as described above to the rotating shaft 11 of the motor 10, vibration can be caused when the motor 10 is rotated.
[0041]
In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, a magnetic rotating body 42 that is divided in the rotational direction and magnetized so as to form an N pole 40 and an S pole 41 is fixed to the rotating shaft 11 of the motor 10 at a position shifted from the center of gravity. Therefore, mechanical vibration can be obtained by rotating the motor 10.
[0042]
Next, a second embodiment of the magnetic health device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The magnetic health device is a weight that is a vibration generating member having a shape in which the magnetic rotating body 43 is attached to one end of the rotating shaft 11 of the motor 10, the motor 10 is fixed, and the center of gravity is eccentric to the other end. 44 is fixed to the motor 10 and accommodated in a case 45. The weight 44 is a weight having a biased center of gravity.
[0043]
The battery 15 and the power switch 16 of the power supply unit 14 are housed on the lid body 46 side of the case 45, and the motor drive circuit is attached to the drive circuit board 18 so as to be housed in the case 45 together with the motor 10. . The motor 10 and the power supply unit 14 are the same as those in the first embodiment. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the component similar to 1st Embodiment.
[0044]
The lid 46 of the magnetic health device is closed, the power switch 16 is turned on, the power is turned on, and the adhesive tape is applied to the affected part of the human body as in the first embodiment. Since the motor 10 of this magnetic health device is driven, the magnetic rotating body 43 attached to one end of the rotating shaft 11 of the motor 10 can provide a variable magnetic effect and a steady magnetic effect. Mechanical weight is generated by the weight 44 attached to the other end of the ten rotating shafts 11, and a massage effect is also obtained.
[0045]
Next, a third embodiment of the magnetic health device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the magnetic health device, a weight 44 is attached to one end of the rotating shaft 11 of the motor 10, and a speed lower than that of the motor is obtained at the other end of the rotating shaft 11 of the motor 10. 47 is attached, and a magnetic rotating body 49 is attached to the second rotating shaft 48. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same thing as the component used for 1st Embodiment.
[0046]
The lid of this magnetic health device is closed, the power switch is turned on, the power is turned on, and it is attached to the affected area using an adhesive tape. At this time, since the motor 10 is rotating and the magnetic rotating body 49 is rotated at a low speed by the reduction gear group 47, low-frequency fluctuating magnetism is obtained, and fluctuating magnetic effect at low frequency is obtained. Moreover, since the weight 44 rotates at the end of the motor 10, mechanical vibration occurs and a massage effect is obtained.
[0047]
In FIG. 8, the motor 10 and the magnetic rotating body 49 are shown parallel to the same side with respect to the reduction gear group 47 and disposed at a relatively short distance. However, it may be arranged on a different side from the motor 10.
[0048]
Next, a fourth embodiment of the magnetic health device according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This magnetic health device has a cylindrical rotating body 53 ( having a hollow portion 52 inside) having a closed bottom surface 50 at one end and an opening 51 at the other end. The rotary body 53 is fixed to the end portion of the rotating shaft 11 of the motor 10 at the center of the bottom surface 50 so as to be housed inside the rotating body 53, and the weight 44 is fixed to and attached to the other end portion of the rotating shaft 11. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the magnetization state of the N pole and the S pole in the magnetic rotator 53 is the same as that of the magnetic rotator of each embodiment described above. The same.
[0049]
The lid of this magnetic health device is closed, the power switch 16 is turned on, the power is turned on, and the adhesive tape 35 is applied to the affected area. Since the rotation and stop of the motor 10 are alternately performed, the magnetic rotator 53 alternately generates the variable magnetism and the stationary magnetism, and the variable magnetic effect and the stationary magnetic effect can be obtained. Further, the rotation of the weight 44 causes mechanical vibration of the case, and a massage effect is obtained.
[0050]
【The invention's effect】
As is apparent from the above description, the present invention has the following effects.
[0051]
Since the magnetic health unit is configured with a magnetic rotating body that is rotated by a motor and a vibration generating member, it is possible to simultaneously obtain a variable magnetic effect and a massage effect with a high magnetic therapeutic effect. By alternately driving the stop repeatedly, a stationary magnetic effect can be obtained in addition to the variable magnetic effect, and a massage effect can be obtained. Furthermore, with this configuration, the magnetic health device can be made small and light with low power consumption. In particular, the effect of magnetic treatment can be enhanced by the variable magnetism in which magnetism by the N pole and magnetism by the S pole are alternately irradiated to the affected area of the user. By using the magnetic rotating member as the vibration generating member, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, and the size and weight can be reduced. Further cost reduction can be achieved by using a commercially available unit for the apparatus configuration relating to vibration generation. The structure in which the motor is assembled inside the magnetic rotating body can simplify the structure of the motor.
