本発明は、足部電極を備えた電位治療装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an electric potential treatment apparatus provided with a foot electrode.

電位治療装置は、絶縁された人体に高電圧を与え、人体周囲に形成された電界による生体刺激作用を利用して、治療を行うものである。このような電位治療装置には、被治療者が椅子に座った際に足を載せられるフットレスト（足載せ台）に足部電極を備えたものが知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。この電位治療装置は、被治療者が座る椅子と、被治療者が椅子に座った際に被治療者の頭部上方に位置する頭部電極カバーと、フットレストとを備え、頭部電極カバーと椅子の座部とに主電極が埋設され、フットレストには足部電極（主電極）が埋設されている。そして、例えば、足部電極を接地し（アース電極とし）、頭部電極カバーと座部との主電極に高電圧を印加することで、被治療者の人体の周囲に電界を形成するものである。

ところで、上記のような電位治療装置では、例えば、座部の主電極が高電位（数百〜数千Ｖ）で、足部電極がアース電位となるため、座部とフットレストとが接触すると、その間で比較的大きな放電が生じ、座部やフットレストの表層材などを損傷させるおそれがある。特に、フットレストが座部の位置ぐらいまで高く、座部が前後方向にスライドできるリクライニング型の椅子では、座部とフットレストとが接触するおそれがある。このため、このような接触を防止するために、座部とフットレストとの距離を一定以上に保つスペーサ（隔離板）などを椅子とフットレストとの間の床面に設ける必要があった。 By the way, in the potential treatment apparatus as described above, for example, the main electrode of the seat is a high potential (several hundred to several thousand V) and the foot electrode is a ground potential. In the meantime, a relatively large discharge occurs, which may damage the surface layer material of the seat and the footrest. In particular, in a reclining chair in which the footrest is as high as the position of the seat and the seat can slide back and forth, the seat and the footrest may come into contact with each other. For this reason, in order to prevent such contact, it has been necessary to provide a spacer (separator) or the like on the floor surface between the chair and the footrest to keep the distance between the seat and the footrest at a certain level or more.

しかしながら、このようなスペーサなどを設けると、フットレストの配置位置が制限され、電位治療装置の設置スペースを広く必要としたり、設置スペースの形状が制限され、設置自由度が低下してしまう。また、椅子とフットレストとの間の床面にスペーサを設置しなければならないため、電位治療装置の設置作業に時間と労力とを要する要因となっていた。さらには、スペーサを設置することで床面との間で段差が生じ、椅子への乗り降りの際に、障害となるおそれがあった。また、スペーサは絶縁性や所定の強度などを要するため、ＭＤＦ（ＭｅｄｉｕｍＤｅｎｓｉｔｙＦｉｂｅｒｂｏａｒｄ；中質繊維板）などで製造され、電位治療装置全体の製造コストがかさむ要因となっていた。 However, when such a spacer or the like is provided, the arrangement position of the footrest is limited, so that a large installation space for the potential treatment device is required, or the shape of the installation space is limited, and the degree of installation freedom is reduced. In addition, since a spacer must be installed on the floor between the chair and the footrest, the installation work of the potential treatment device is a factor that requires time and labor. Furthermore, the installation of the spacer causes a step between the floor surface and may cause an obstacle when getting on and off the chair. In addition, since the spacer requires insulation and a predetermined strength, it is manufactured with MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and the like, which is a factor that increases the manufacturing cost of the whole potential treatment device.

そこで本発明は、スペーサなどを設けることなく、座部とフットレストとが接触することによる表層材などの損傷を防止することができる電位治療装置を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an electric potential treatment device that can prevent damage to a surface layer material or the like due to contact between a seat portion and a footrest without providing a spacer or the like.

（作用）

以下、本発明を図示の実施形態に基づいて説明する。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on illustrated embodiments.

図１は、本発明の実施形態に係わる電位治療装置１の斜視図であり、この電位治療装置１は、主として、被治療者Ｃが座る椅子２と、被治療者Ｃが椅子２に座った際に被治療者Ｃの頭部上方に位置する頭部電極カバー３と、被治療者Ｃが椅子２に座った際に足を載せられるフットレスト４と、高電圧発生ユニット５（図３に示す）とを備えている。 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electric potential therapy apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This electric potential therapy apparatus 1 mainly includes a chair 2 on which a patient C sits and a patient C on the chair 2.

椅子２は絶縁物（表層材）で覆われ、その座部２１に座部主電極２２（主電極）と座部端部電極２３（端部電極）とが埋設されている。すなわち、図２に示すように、座部２１の骨組座面２１ａの中央部に板状の座部主電極２２が配設され、フットレスト４と対向するフットレスト側の端部つまり骨組座面２１ａの前端部に座部端部電極２３が配設されている。この座部端部電極２３は導電性の細長いコード（ケーブル）で、樹脂製の配線モール２４内に収容された状態で、骨組座面２１ａの前端部に配設されている。また、座部主電極２２は、後述する高電圧発生ユニット５の第２電圧出力端子５３に接続され、座部端部電極２３は高電圧発生ユニット５を介してアース接続（接地）されている。また、椅子２は、座部２１が前後方向にスライドし、背もたれ２５の傾斜が変化するリクライニング型であり、サイドウォール２６の外側（座部２１の反対側）にリモコン２７（リモートコントローラ）が配設されている。
The chair 2 is covered with an insulator (surface layer material), and a seat main electrode 22 (main electrode) and a seat end electrode 23 (end electrode) are embedded in the seat 21. That is, as shown in FIG. 2, a plate-like seat main electrode 22 is disposed at the center of the frame seating surface 21a of the seat 21, and the footrest side end facing the footrest 4, that is, the frame seating surface 21a. A seat end electrode 23 is disposed at the front end. The seat end electrode 23 is a conductive elongated cord (cable) and is disposed at the front end of the frame seat surface 21a in a state of being accommodated in the resin wiring molding 24. The seat main electrode 22 is connected to a second voltage output terminal 53 of the high voltage generating unit 5 described later, and the seat end electrode 23 is grounded (grounded) via the high voltage generating unit 5. . The chair 2 is a reclining type in which the seat portion 21 slides in the front-rear direction and the inclination of the backrest 25 changes, and a remote controller 27 (remote controller) is arranged outside the sidewall 26 (opposite the seat portion 21). It is installed.

頭部電極カバー３は絶縁物で覆われ、頭部主電極３１（主電極）が埋設され、この頭部主電極３１は高電圧発生ユニット５の第１電圧出力端子５２に接続されている。 The head electrode cover 3 is covered with an insulator, and a head main electrode 31 (main electrode) is embedded. The head main electrode 31 is connected to the first voltage output terminal 52 of the high voltage generating unit 5.

フットレスト４も絶縁物で覆われ、いわゆるオットマンと呼ばれる足載せ台で、側面形状がコ字形をしており、上段部４ａと下段部４ｂとに足を載せられるものである。また、上段部４ａが椅子２の座部２１の高さぐらいまでに位置し、フットレスト４を椅子２に近づけたりすると、上段部４ａと座部２１とが接触する位置関係となっている。この上段部４ａと下段部４ｂとには、それぞれ第１足部主電極４１（主電極）と第２足部主電極４２（主電極）とが埋設され、この足部主電極４１、４２は高電圧発生ユニット５のアース端子５４に接続されている。 The footrest 4 is also covered with an insulator and is a footrest called a so-called ottoman. The side surface has a U-shape and can be placed on the upper step portion 4a and the lower step portion 4b. Further, when the upper step 4a is positioned up to the height of the seat 21 of the chair 2 and the footrest 4 is brought close to the chair 2, the upper step 4a and the seat 21 are in a positional relationship. A first foot main electrode 41 (main electrode) and a second foot main electrode 42 (main electrode) are embedded in the upper step portion 4a and the lower step portion 4b, respectively. The high voltage generation unit 5 is connected to the ground terminal 54.

後述する図３に示す高電圧発生ユニット５は、図示されていない商用電源用の電源コードと、電圧を７，０００〜９，０００Ｖに昇圧する昇圧トランス５１（高圧トランス）と、電圧を出力するための第１電圧出力端子５２、第２電圧出力端子５３とを備えている。そして、昇圧トランス５１によって発生された高電圧を、第１電圧出力端子５２、第２電圧出力端子５３を介してそれぞれ頭部主電極３１および座部主電極２２に印加するものである。 A high voltage generation unit 5 shown in FIG. 3 to be described later outputs a power cord for commercial power (not shown), a step-up transformer 51 (high-voltage transformer) that boosts the voltage to 7,000 to 9,000 V, and a voltage. Therefore, a first voltage output terminal 52 and a second voltage output terminal 53 are provided. The high voltage generated by the step-up transformer 51 is applied to the head main electrode 31 and the seat main electrode 22 via the first voltage output terminal 52 and the second voltage output terminal 53, respectively.

このような構成の電位治療装置１の概略等価回路を図３に示す。図中符号Ｖは商用電源、符号５は高電圧発生ユニットで、符号５５、５６は、頭部主電極３１および座部主電極２２による感電を防止するために出力インピーダンスを上げる安全抵抗である。また、座部端部電極２３は、アース端子５４のアース線５４ａに接続されている。そして、昇圧トランス５１による電圧が、第１安全抵抗５５を介して頭部主電極３１に出力され、第２安全抵抗５６を介して座部主電極２２に出力されるようになっている。また、足部主電極４１、４２と座部端部電極２３とがアース電位になるようになっている。なお、リモコン２７は、高電圧発生ユニット５の稼働、停止などを遠隔で操作するものである。 FIG. 3 shows a schematic equivalent circuit of the potential treatment device 1 having such a configuration. In the figure, reference numeral V denotes a commercial power source, reference numeral 5 denotes a high voltage generating unit, and reference numerals 55 and 56 denote safety resistors that increase the output impedance in order to prevent electric shock from the head main electrode 31 and the seat main electrode 22. The seat end electrode 23 is connected to the ground wire 54 a of the ground terminal 54. The voltage from the step-up transformer 51 is output to the head main electrode 31 via the first safety resistor 55 and is output to the seat main electrode 22 via the second safety resistor 56. Further, the foot main electrodes 41 and 42 and the seat end electrode 23 are set to the ground potential. The remote controller 27 is used to remotely operate the high voltage generation unit 5 such as operation and stop.

次に、このような構成の電位治療装置１の作動などについて説明する。 Next, the operation of the potential treatment device 1 having such a configuration will be described.

まず、被治療者Ｃが椅子２に座り、例えば、図４に示すように、足をフットレスト４の下段部４ｂに載せた状態で、高電圧発生ユニット５を稼働させると、座部主電極２２および頭部主電極３１に高電圧が印加される。これにより、被治療者Ｃが高電位にされるとともに、被治療者Ｃの人体の周囲に電界が形成され、この電界によって治療がなされる。なお、本電位治療装置１では座部端部電極２３が設けられているが、この座部端部電極２３は上記のように、細長いコードで骨組座面２１ａの前端部に配設されているため、人体の周囲に形成される電界に与える影響が少ない。すなわち、座部端部電極２３が設けられていても、治療に影響を与えない。 First, when the patient C sits on the chair 2 and the high voltage generating unit 5 is operated with the foot placed on the lower step 4b of the footrest 4, as shown in FIG. A high voltage is applied to the head main electrode 31. As a result, the patient C is set at a high potential, and an electric field is formed around the human body of the patient C, and treatment is performed by this electric field. In addition, although the seat part end electrode 23 is provided in this electric potential treatment apparatus 1, this seat part end electrode 23 is arrange | positioned by the elongate cord at the front end part of the frame seat surface 21a as mentioned above. Therefore, the influence on the electric field formed around the human body is small. That is, even if the seat end electrode 23 is provided, the treatment is not affected.

また、例えば、図５に示すように、椅子２の背もたれ２５を倒して座部２１を前方向にスライドさせると、座部２１の前端部２１ｂ（フットレスト側の端部）がフットレスト４の上段部４ａの前端部４ａ_１（座部側の端部）に接触する場合がある。このような場合、座部端部電極２３と第１足部主電極４１とはアース接続され、同電位（電位差ゼロ）であるため、座部２１の前端部２１ｂとフットレスト４の前端部４ａ_１との電位差が小さい。このため、座部２１の前端部２１ｂとフットレスト４の前端部４ａ_１とが接触しても、その間での放電量が極めて小さい。例えば、座部主電極２２に４，０００Ｖが印加された場合であっても、座部２１の前端部２１ｂとフットレスト４の前端部４ａ_１との電位差は数十Ｖ程度であり、これらが接触しても放電量が極めて小さい。これに対し、座部端部電極２３を備えていない場合では、座部２１の前端部２１ｂとフットレスト４の前端部４ａ_１との電位差が数百Ｖ以上となり、これらが接触した場合の放電量は比較的大きくなる。
このように、本電位治療装置１によれば、座部２１とフットレスト４とが接触しても放電量が極めて小さいため、座部２１やフットレスト４の表層材（絶縁物）などが損傷するおそれがない。このため、座部２１とフットレスト４との接触を防止するためにスペーサＳ（図１参照）などを設ける必要がなく、フットレスト４の配置位置が制限されず、電位治療装置１の設置自由度も高まる。すなわち、被治療者Ｃなどは、座部２１とフットレスト４との接触を気にすることなく、部屋のスペースや椅子２に座る姿勢などに合わせて、所望の位置に椅子２やフットレスト４を自由に配置することができる。また、スペーサが不要であるため、電位治療装置１全体の製造コストを低減することが可能となり、電位治療装置１の設置作業性も向上し、さらには、床面に段差がなくなりバリアフリー化を実現できる。 Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the seat 25 is slid forward by tilting the backrest 25 of the chair 2, the front end 21 b (end on the footrest side) of the seat 21 is the upper part of the footrest 4. The front end 4a ₁ (the end on the seat side) of 4a may come into contact. In such a case, since the seat end electrode 23 and the first foot main electrode 41 are grounded and have the same potential (zero potential difference), the front end 21b of the seat 21 and the front end 4a _{1 of the} footrest 4 are used. And the potential difference is small. Therefore, even if contact with the front end portion 4a ₁ of the front end portion 21b and the footrest 4 of the seat portion 21, is extremely small amount of discharge therebetween. For example, even when 4,000 V is applied to the seat main electrode 22, the potential difference between the front end 21 b of the seat 21 and the front end 4 a ₁ of the footrest 4 is about several tens V, and these are in contact with each other. Even so, the amount of discharge is extremely small. In contrast, in the case not provided with a seat end electrode 23, the potential difference between the front end portion 4a ₁ of the front end portion 21b and the footrest 4 of the seat portion 21 becomes several hundred V or more, the discharge amount when they are in contact Is relatively large.
Thus, according to this electric potential treatment device 1, even if the seat portion 21 and the footrest 4 are in contact with each other, the amount of discharge is extremely small, so that the surface layer material (insulator) of the seat portion 21 and the footrest 4 may be damaged. There is no. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide a spacer S (see FIG. 1) or the like in order to prevent contact between the seat portion 21 and the footrest 4, the arrangement position of the footrest 4 is not limited, and the degree of freedom in installing the potential treatment device 1 is also increased. Rise. That is, the patient C or the like can freely place the chair 2 or the footrest 4 at a desired position according to the room space or the posture of sitting on the chair 2 without worrying about the contact between the seat portion 21 and the footrest 4. Can be arranged. Further, since the spacer is unnecessary, the manufacturing cost of the entire potential treatment device 1 can be reduced, the installation workability of the potential treatment device 1 can be improved, and further, there is no step on the floor surface, thus making it barrier-free. realizable.

ところで、本実施形態では、座部端部電極２３を第１足部主電極４１と同じアース電位としているが、つまり、座部端部電極２３と第１足部主電極４１とを同電位としているが、同電位でなくてもよい。すなわち、座部２１の前端部２１ｂとフットレスト４の前端部４ａ_１との電位差が小さくなり、これらが接触しても放電量が極めて小さい範囲内で、座部端部電極２３と第１足部主電極４１との電位が同程度であればよい。 By the way, in the present embodiment, the seat end electrode 23 is set to the same ground potential as the first foot main electrode 41, that is, the seat end electrode 23 and the first foot main electrode 41 are set to the same potential. However, it does not have to be the same potential. In other words, decreases the potential difference between the front end portion 4a ₁ of the front end portion 21b and the footrest 4 of the seat 21, the discharge amount by these contacts within a very small range, the seat end electrode 23 1st foot It is sufficient that the potential with the main electrode 41 is approximately the same.

以上、この発明の実施形態について説明したが、具体的な構成は、本実施形態に限られるものではなく、この発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲の設計の変更等があっても、この発明に含まれる。例えば、本実施形態では、足部主電極４１、４２をアース電位としているが、足部主電極４１、４２が高電位であってもよく、この場合、座部端部電極２３の電位を足部主電極４１、４２の電位と同程度に設定すればよい。また、頭部主電極３１を備えていない電位治療装置であってもよく、さらに複数の主電極を備えた電位治療装置であってもよい。 Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the specific configuration is not limited to the present embodiment, and design changes and the like within a scope not departing from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is. For example, in the present embodiment, the foot main electrodes 41 and 42 are set to the ground potential. However, the foot main electrodes 41 and 42 may be a high potential. In this case, the potential of the seat end electrode 23 is set to the foot potential. What is necessary is just to set to the same level as the electric potential of the part main electrodes 41 and 42. Moreover, the electric potential treatment apparatus which is not provided with the head main electrode 31 may be sufficient, and the electric potential treatment apparatus provided with the some main electrode may be sufficient.
