Furthermore, this potential line is composed of a metal conductor, and a conductor is arranged in the vicinity of this conductor via an electrical insulator, so that the induced potential output can be expanded to other conductors, reducing the potential output. Can be suppressed.
[0010]
Further, this potential line is composed of a conductive wire made of metal, and a conductor is arranged in the vicinity of the conductive wire via a crystalline polymer material having a temperature dependence of dielectric constant or a conductive material having a positive resistance temperature coefficient. Therefore, in the case of the crystalline polymer material having the temperature dependence of the dielectric constant, for example, the potential output can be increased to a relatively high temperature portion where a person is sleeping. In the case of a conductive material having a positive resistance temperature coefficient, for example, the potential to a portion that becomes too high due to, for example, warm heat can be suppressed, and safety is improved.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a treatment futon for a home electrotherapy device, and a sheet-like component 4 in which a heating wire 2 and a potential wire 3 are fixed in the futon 1 is constituted. Reference numeral 5 denotes a controller incorporating a potential output transformer, a safety circuit such as a potential output limiting resistor, a temperature control circuit, and the like. FIG. 2 shows details of the configuration of the heating line 2, the potential line 3, and the sheet-like component 4, and the heating line 2 and the potential line 3 are configured to be wired at a predetermined interval A. Further, FIG. 3 shows a configuration diagram showing details of the sheet-like component 4. The sheet-like component 4 is a cloth-like component configured in a bag shape, and a double fabric is joined by a binding yarn. The joined portion 6 is woven so that insertion holes for heating lines and potential lines are formed. The heating wire 2 and the potential wire 3 are configured to be inserted and fixed in the respective insertion holes.
[0016]
Actually, a comparative experiment was performed using a configuration in which the distance A between the heating wire 2 and the potential line 3 was set to 35 mm and a configuration of a comparative example in which the distance A was not taken. Here, as a configuration of this comparative example, a comparative sample was obtained by wiring the heating wire 2 and the potential wire 3 on the same sheet-like component 4 as shown in FIG. As a result, the output of the controller 5 to the potential line was set to 600 V, and in the same futon 1 environment, a person fell asleep and the induced potential applied to the human body was measured with a high voltage voltmeter (input resistance: 1000 MΩ). . As a result, the heating wire 2, the potential wire 3 and the sheet-like component 4 having the configuration of the comparative example in FIG. 4 were 320 V, but the configuration in FIG. 2 of the present invention confirmed the output of 455 V. did it. As described above, by adopting a configuration in which the heating wire 2 and the potential wire 3 are spaced apart from each other, an excellent effect of reducing the potential drop due to the heating wire or the like was achieved.
[0017]
Furthermore, in the case of a heating-type potential treatment device, a heating wire and a potential wire are output simultaneously, but the temperature detection function using an ion conduction type and dielectric type polymer thermosensitive material based on nylon 12 is used for the heating wire. Using the exothermic line, it was measured how the exothermic temperature changes by simultaneously outputting a potential output of 600 V from the controller in the configuration of FIG. 2 of the present invention and the configuration of FIG. 4 of the comparative example. As a result, although there was a temperature drift of 5 ° C. in the above comparative example, in the configuration of FIG. 2 of the present invention, the temperature change is within 1 ° C., and the effect of reducing the malfunction of the heat generation temperature should be confirmed. I was able to.
[0018]
(Example 2)

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 7 denotes a potential line made of a metal such as copper. The outer surface is covered with an electrical insulator 8, and is further brought into close contact with the outer surface to constitute a conductor 9 made of aluminum or the like. As a result, an induced potential from the potential line 7 is generated in the conductor 9, which can act in a direction to prevent the influence from the heating line and the like.
[0019]
Furthermore, by forming a crystalline polymer material having a temperature dependence of dielectric constant or a conductive material having a positive resistance temperature coefficient in the electrical insulator 8 portion, various effects can be achieved. When constructing a crystalline polymer material having a temperature dependence of dielectric constant, for example, a conductor is constructed via a crystalline polymer material having a temperature dependence of dielectric constant on the surface on which a person lies. By doing so, the induced potential charged to the human body can be further increased without being affected by moisture such as a futon. Further, when a conductive material having a positive resistance temperature coefficient is configured, the potential to a portion that has become too high due to, for example, warm heat can be suppressed, and safety can be improved. Note that a safety circuit such as a limiting resistor is connected to the potential line, so that even if the potential line is directly touched, there is no electric shock.
[0020]
Furthermore, by configuring the conductor as a conductive wire that is longer than the potential wire, it can act in the direction of increasing the induced potential that acts on the human body, and the conductive wire is connected to the electrical insulator, the crystalline polymer material, the conductive material, etc. Since it can be realized by winding, it has the advantage of being easy to process.
[0021]
In addition, since the potential of the other conductors can be output through the other conductors, the induced potential can be output from the other conductors even if the potential line is broken. This will also increase the durability of this home electrotherapy device.

The outer surface is covered with an electrical insulator 12, and a conductor 13 made of a metal conductor is wound around the outer surface. 14 is constituted. Although the conductor 13 may be used for the potential output, in addition to the effect of increasing the potential output by outputting to the potential line 10, even if the electrical insulator 14 is damaged, it can be electrically insulated by the electrical insulator 12. It also has the effect of further enhancing the properties.
[0023]
As described above, various constituent means are introduced, and the potential line and the heating line are separated from each other so as to increase the induced potential that acts on the human body, or the potential of the potential line As long as it is a home-use electrotherapy device constructed with an increased generation area, any device can be used, and the potential line and the heating line will hardly affect each other.
