Description

  The present invention relates to a low-frequency treatment device that applies electrical stimulation to a human body and treats stiffness, pain, stiffness, and the like.

  Recently, there has been provided a low-frequency treatment device for performing treatment by applying a low-frequency pulse voltage to a treatment site of a human body for treatment of stiff shoulders and the like. This low-frequency treatment device is similar to various treatment methods such as itching and loosening by sending low-frequency electric pulses from a conductor plug (connection part) attached to a desired part of the human body via an adhesive pad. The treatment is given with stimulation. In addition, in the low frequency treatment device, a circuit for generating and controlling a low frequency current pulse and various operation modes are selected and displayed on the main body connected to the conductor plug via the conductor cord. An operation unit is provided.

  In such a conventional low-frequency treatment device, there are a device that treats while switching output locations by using a plurality of conductors, and a device that has a function of displaying a location between conductors that are carrying current. . For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a low-frequency pulse is selectively output between a plurality of conductors, a current flowing between the selected conductors is detected, and a current is detected during an absolute refractory period before the start of treatment. For the conductors that are determined to be attached to the site where it is difficult to energize, during the treatment, the output of the low frequency pulse to the pair of electrode plates is stopped, and which is between the stopped conductors In this display, a multi-electrode low-frequency treatment device is known in which a plurality of pairs of energized conductors are defined as channels (CH) and whether or not each channel is energized is indicated by lighting of a lamp. Yes.

However, in this conventional example, it is difficult to know which channel's conductor is attached to which treatment site because it is only displayed for each channel whether or not electricity is applied between the conductors. In order to achieve this, there is a problem in that the position where the conductor's conductor is attached must be found by handing the conductor cord coming out of the main body of the treatment device. In particular, when each conductor is switched individually, rather than between a set of conductors between which the current is passed, the number of combinations between the conductors to which the voltage is applied increases and the direction of current flow Since it also varies, it could not be displayed in the channel display.

The display unit 5 displays the setting state of each operation by switching the LED segment according to the preprogrammed contents according to the state of each input of the automatic course selection switch 16 or the like by the operation unit 1a and the output state of the low frequency current or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the energization display unit 6 includes a conductor pattern portion 2 p having conductor pair patterns 3 p and 4 p corresponding to the conductor pairs 3 and 4. The conductor pair patterns 3 p and 4 p are respectively The conductor patterns 31p and 32p and the conductor patterns 41p and 42p which represent the conductors 31 and 32 and the conductors 41 and 42 in a pseudo manner are provided. In addition, the energization display unit 6 has an energization pattern portion 60 that displays between which conductors a current flows. The energization pattern portion 60 includes conductors 31 and 32 and conductors 32 and 42, respectively. Between the conductors 41 and 42, between the conductors 31 and 41, between the conductors 32 and 41, and between the conductors 31 and 42, rectangular energization patterns 61 to 66 indicating the current flow between the conductors are the conductor patterns. It is formed correspondingly between them. Each pattern is displayed by lighting the LED segments constituting the energization display unit 6 in combination with the pattern shape. And by operation in the operation unit 1a, a plurality of arbitrary two conductors among the conductors 31.32, 41, 42 are selected, and when a low frequency output is actually performed between the conductors, In synchronization with the current flow between the conductors, the LED segment where the current flows on the energization display unit 6 is turned on, and the conductor pattern unit 2p and the energization pattern unit 60 are illuminated.

  4A to 4E show display examples of current flow when current flows between the conductors. In FIG. 4A, the liquid crystal segment of the energization pattern 61 between the conductor patterns 31p and 32p is lit, and this lighting indicates that the user has a current flowing between the conductors 31 and 32 on the A side. You can know visually. Similarly, in FIGS. 4B, 4 </ b> C, and 4 </ b> D, the energization patterns 63, 66, and 65 are turned on, and between the conductors 41 and 42, between the conductors 31 and 42, and the conductor 32, respectively. , 41 is energized.

The conductors 31 and 32 on the A side have the same polarity (same potential), and the conductors 41 and B on the B side have the same polarity. When the low frequency output is applied between the A side conductor 31 (32) and the B side conductor 41 (42) with 42 having the same polarity (the same potential), a current flows from the A side to the B side. Indicates the state. By displaying each of these patterns, the user can instantly know the position of the energized conductor and the location between the conductors through which the current flows.

  As described above, in the low frequency treatment device 10 of the present embodiment, the display unit 5 is provided with the energization display unit 6 indicating the flow of current, so that the conductor pair 3 and 4 selected by the operation unit 1a has a low frequency. When an output is applied, the conductor pattern (31p, 32p, 41p, 42p) and the conductive pattern (31p, 32p, 41p, 42p) are connected to both the conductor through which the current flows in synchronization with the current flowing between the actual conductors. 61-66). Thereby, since it becomes easy to understand visually the location between the conductors through which a current flows among the plurality of conductors, the user can more easily feel the therapeutic effect. In particular, when a pair of conductors through which a current flows is not a fixed partner but a plurality of conductors are switched freely, it is possible to instantly know from which conductor the current flows between the LCD displays. The recognition effect is improved. Also, when changing treatment settings (strength, treatment pattern, etc.), adjustment can be made easily because the display pattern can be viewed. In addition, even when the number of conductors is other than four (three, five, six, etc.), a place where current flows can be displayed by forming a pattern in the same manner. The display means may be a display device other than the LCD, such as an LED lamp or CRT, and the display of the portion where the current flows may be blinking instead of lighting.

  Next, a low frequency treatment device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The low frequency treatment device 10 of the present embodiment basically has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment. In the energization display unit 6 of the display unit 5, the energization patterns 61 to 66 between the conductors are as follows. This is different from the above embodiment in that the direction of the current flowing between the conductors is displayed.

  Fig.5 (a) shows the structure of the low frequency treatment device 10 of this embodiment, FIG.5 (b) shows the electricity supply display part 6 in the display part 5 of the figure (a), FIG.5 (c). Fig. 4 is an exploded view of the current flow display in Fig. 2B. The energization display unit 6 of the display unit 5 includes three separation patterns (for example, 61a and 61b in the energization pattern 61) in the energization patterns 61 to 64 in the vertical and horizontal directions between the conductors 31, 32 and 41.42. 61c), and four separation patterns (for example, 65a, 65b, 65c, 65d in the energization pattern 65) are arranged in the energization patterns 65, 66 in the oblique direction.

  As shown in FIG. 5C, the display of the current direction by these separation patterns is indicated by lighting each separation pattern in a stacked manner one by one in the direction in which the current flows. Here, when a current flows from the conductor 31 to the conductor 32, first, as shown in the first energization display pattern 6a, only the first separation pattern 61a from the conductor pattern 31p side is lit and displayed. Next, as shown in the second energization display pattern 6b, the first separation pattern 61a and the second separation pattern 61b are lit and displayed. Next, as shown in the third energization display pattern 6c, all three separation patterns 61a, 61b, 61c are displayed. Then, as shown in the fourth energization display pattern 6d, all the separation patterns 61a, 61b, 61c are once turned off, and then returned to the first energization display pattern 6a again to be the first separation. Only the pattern 61a is displayed.

  In this way, each of the separation patterns 61a, 61b, 61c is lit and displayed repeatedly from the first energization display pattern 6a to the fourth energization display pattern 6d. By repeating this display, it can be seen that the current is flowing from the top to the bottom, so that the downward current flow can be represented. The same applies when a current is passed between other conductors. Further, when the direction of the current flows from the bottom to the top, it is obtained by displaying the lighting display of the separation patterns 61a, 61b, 61c in the reverse order. As described above, the current-carrying patterns 61 to 66 are constituted by a plurality of separation patterns, and the lighting sequence is changed so as to blink continuously, thereby flowing between each of the conductors 31, 32, 41, 42. The direction of the current can be indicated.

  FIG. 5D shows another display pattern example indicating the direction of current in the energization display unit 6. In this display pattern, each of the energization patterns 61 to 66 is configured as a pair of two arrow patterns (61x to 66x and 61y to 66y, respectively) that are parallel and opposite to each other. For example, in the arrow patterns 61x and 61y in the energization pattern 61, when a current flows from the conductor 31 to the conductor 32, only the downward arrow pattern 61x on the paper surface is lit (black arrow), and conversely, the current is When flowing upward from below, only the upward arrow pattern 61y is lit. Thereby, the direction of the current can be easily displayed only by lighting the arrow pattern, and can be easily seen.

  As described above, in the low frequency treatment device 10 of the present embodiment, the separation pattern (61a, 61b, 61c) or the arrow pattern (61x to 66x and the display pattern indicating the direction of the current flowing between the conductors in the energization display unit 6 is provided. By providing 61y to 66y), the direction of the current flowing between the plurality of conductors can be easily understood visually, so that the part of the conductor in which the current between the conductors flows can be easily known. It is said that the treatment area on the negative voltage side where this current flows is said to have a soothing effect on the pain, and since it feels more stimulating, attach a conductor into which the current that is judged from the direction of the current flows is to be treated Thus, an effective therapeutic effect can be obtained. Further, the polarity of the low frequency output can be operated while observing the direction of the current on the energization pattern unit 60, and the direction of the current can be reliably set so that the current flows into the site where the therapeutic effect is desired to be increased.

  Next, a low frequency treatment device according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Fig.6 (a) shows the structure of the low frequency treatment device 10 in this embodiment, FIG.6 (b) shows the electricity supply display part 6 of the display part 5 in the low frequency treatment device 10 of the same figure (a). . The low frequency treatment device 10 of the present embodiment basically has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, and each of the conductor pairs 3, the conductor pair pattern 3p, and the conductors displayed on the energization display unit 6. The pair 4 and the conductor pair pattern 4p are different from the above-described embodiment in that the pair 4 and the conductor pair pattern 4p are identified so as to be able to correspond one-to-one with each color classification.

  In FIG. 6 (a), the conductor connection terminal portions 34a and 34b of the conductors 31 and 32 of the conductor pair 3 on the A side are color-separated into white and red, respectively, depending on the color of their molded products. The conductor connection terminal portions 44a and 44b of the conductors 41 and 42 of the conductor pair 4 on the B side are also divided into white and red, respectively. On the other hand, in FIG. 6B, the patterns of the conductor patterns 31p and 41p corresponding to the color coding of the conductor connection terminal portions 34a and 34b and the conductor connection terminal portions 44a and 44b in FIG. The outline frames of the conductor patterns 32p and 42p are colored in red, respectively. As described above, in the low frequency treatment device 10 according to the present embodiment, the conductor connection terminal portions 34a, 34b, 44a, 44b and the respective patterns of the conductor patterns 31p, 32p, 41p, 42p are associated with each other in two colors. As a result, the correspondence between the conductors 31, 32, 41, 42 in the actual conductor pair 3, 4 and the conductor patterns 31 p, 32 p, 41 p, 42 p on the energization display unit 6 is visually recognized. This makes it easy to check the position of the conductors 31, 32, 41, and 42, and prevents incorrect attachment positions.

  Next, a modification of the low frequency treatment device 10 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Fig.7 (a) shows the structure of the low frequency treatment device 10 in this embodiment, FIG.7 (b) shows the electricity supply display part 6 of the display part 5 in the low frequency treatment device 10 of the same figure (a). . In this modification, all the conductors are identified by different colors. In FIG. 7A, the conductor cords 35a and 35b of the conductors 31 and 32 on the A side are color-coded into white and red, respectively, and the conductor cords 45a and 45b of the conductors 41 and 42 on the B side are Each color is divided into blue and yellow. Corresponding to the colors of the conductor cords 35a and 35b and the conductor cords 45a and 45b, the outline frames of the conductor patterns 31p and 32p are colored white and red in FIG. The outline frame of each pattern of the child patterns 41p and 42p is color-divided into blue and yellow, respectively. As described above, since the colors of the conductor cords of the four conductors are all different, the position of the current flowing between any of the four conductors can be determined regardless of the combination of the four conductors. It can be reliably identified by the color classification of the code. Further, when the number of conductors is increased to four or more, it can be similarly identified.

  Next, another modification of the low frequency treatment device 10 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Fig.8 (a) shows the structure of the low frequency treatment device 10 in this modification, and FIG.8 (b) shows the electricity supply display part 6 of the display part 5 in the figure (a). In this modification, each conductor is identified by being numbered with a number. In FIG. 8A, the A-side conductors 31 and 32 are respectively indicated as “1” and “2”, and the B-side conductors 41 and 42 are respectively “3” and “4”. "No." is displayed. Corresponding to the numbers of the numbers of the conductors 31 and 32 and the conductors 41 and 42, in FIG. 8B, the conductor patterns 31p, 32p, 41p, and 42p in the energization display unit 6 are “1”. No., “2”, “3” and “4” are distinguished by numbers. Since this classification is based only on numbers, it can be displayed very easily, and even when the number of conductors increases, it can be handled without problems.

  Thus, in the low frequency treatment device 10 in the third embodiment and this modification, the actual conductors 31, 32, 41, 42 and the conductor pattern 31 p of the energization display unit 6 are classified by color or numbering. 32p, 41p, and 42p can be identified on a one-to-one basis, so it is possible to identify which conductor is attached to which treatment site before treatment, and which treatment site is receiving current during treatment. It becomes easy. In addition, the method of making a conductor and a conductor pattern correspond one-to-one may be other than the above.

  Next, a low frequency treatment device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The low-frequency treatment device 10 of the present embodiment has basically the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, and in the energization display unit 6, the background of the display screen on which each conductor pattern and the energization pattern are displayed. The shape corresponding to the treatment site of the human body is displayed.

  FIG. 9A shows the whole body pattern 50 in which the whole body of the treatment site of the human body is enlarged in the background of the display of each of the conductor patterns 31p, 32p, 41p, 42p and the energization patterns 61-66 on the conduction display unit 6. 9 (b) to 9 (h) show the neck 51 as a treatment site on the background of the respective conductor patterns 31 p, 32 p, 41 p, 42 p and the energization patterns 61-66 in the conduction display unit 6. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing enlarged patterns of respective shapes of a shoulder 52, a back 53, a waist 54, a knee 55, a calf 56, and a sole 57; Each pattern of these treatment sites is performed by arranging and displaying a necessary line display LCD element on the display unit 5.

  As shown in FIGS. 9A to 9H, by these displays, it is possible to see each of the conductor patterns and the energization patterns indicating the current flow simultaneously with the whole body part and the enlarged treatment part. Here, in FIG. 9 (h), the display of the conductor pattern and the energization pattern is displayed separately from the case of other parts only in the case of the sole, but this is to make the shape of the sole easier to understand. It is. Therefore, by changing the display method of the sole, the conductor pattern and the energization pattern can be displayed in common with the patterns of other parts.

  As described above, according to the low frequency treatment device 10 in the present embodiment, since the treatment site and the current flow display can be simultaneously viewed on the energization display unit 6, the position of the treatment site of the selected human body can be further determined. It is easy to understand, and it is possible to know in detail visually the contents close to the part being actually treated by the enlarged display of the treatment part. Further, the treatment area and the current flow display are displayed on the same screen, and the LCD segment displaying the current flow is also used as the treatment area display. It is possible to display a screen as large as possible. That is, when the display unit 5 displays two screens of the current pattern and the treatment site without increasing the display area, it is necessary to reduce both images. This makes it possible to display an enlarged view of the treatment site without doing so. Note that the enlarged display method of the shape corresponding to the treatment site and the display site may be a method or a site other than the above.

  Next, a low frequency treatment device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The low frequency treatment device 10 of the present embodiment basically has the same configuration as that of the fourth embodiment. In the energization display unit 6 of the display unit 5, the display of each conductor pattern and the energization pattern is displayed. The shape corresponding to the treatment site of the human body is displayed on the background of the screen, and the whole body display and treatment site of the human body are displayed on the whole body display unit 7. 10A to 10H, the conduction display unit 6 on the right side of the paper is the same display as the energization display unit 6 of the fourth embodiment, and the whole body display unit 7 on the left side is the whole body display of the human body. The shape and the positions of the conductor pairs 3 and 4 of the treatment site therein are indicated by the conductor pair patterns 3p and 4p.

  In FIG. 10A, the whole body display unit 7 displays the whole body of the human body and the positions of all the treatment sites in the conductor pair patterns 3p and 4p, and the conduction display unit 6 displays each conductor pair pattern. The whole body pattern 50 of the treatment site of the human body is shown in the background of the display of 3p, 4p and the energization pattern portion 60. Also, in FIGS. 10B to 10H, the conduction display unit 6 is an enlarged view of each treatment area of the neck 51, shoulder 52, back 53, waist 54, knee 55, calf 56 and sole 57 in the background. The whole body display unit 7 displays each treatment site in the whole body corresponding to this shape. For example, as shown in FIG. 10 (b), when the neck 51 is selected by the operation unit 1a, a state in which the pair of conductors 3 and 4 are pasted on the neck of the whole body in the whole body display unit 7 on the left side. The corresponding conductor pair patterns 3p and 4p are turned on, and correspondingly, the conductor pair patterns 3p and 4p in the right-side energization display unit 6, the energization pattern portion 60 indicating the flow of current, and the enlarged display of the neck 51 are displayed. Light. The same display is performed for other parts. That is, the enlarged treatment part is displayed on the energization display part 6 with a correlation corresponding to the treatment part in the whole body display of the human body by the whole body display part 7.

  As described above, according to the low-frequency treatment device 10 in the present embodiment, since both the treatment site display in the whole body display and the treatment site display in the enlarged display can be simultaneously viewed, the whole body display and the enlarged display are correlated with each other. It is possible to make it easier to visually understand the target actual treatment position.

  Next, a low frequency treatment device according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The low frequency treatment device 10 of this embodiment basically has the same configuration as that of the fifth embodiment, and the display unit 5 displays at least a whole body pattern and a treatment site therein before starting treatment. The current flow is displayed after the start of treatment. Fig.11 (a) shows the structure of the low frequency treatment device 10 of this embodiment, and also shows the state of the operation navigation display unit 9 of the operation unit 1a in a state after the power is turned on. FIG. 11B shows a state of the operation navigation display unit 9 and the whole body display unit 7 of the operation unit 1a when the neck is selected as a treatment site after the power is turned on. 11C and 11D show display states of the energization display unit 6 and the whole body display unit 7 before and after the low frequency output. Each energization display unit 6 includes an output intensity setting display unit 67 that indicates the output intensity during energization, a treatment remainder display unit 68 that indicates the remaining treatment time, and the like.

  In FIG. 11A, after the power is turned on, the low frequency treatment device 10 of the present embodiment first turns on the power by the operation unit 1a, and prompts the user to select a course from the operation navigation display unit 9. LED of the character display section 9a (portion enclosed by a thick rectangular dotted line) that displays “/ preference” ”blinks. Then, when one of the courses is selected, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the character display portion 9 b (the portion surrounded by a rectangular thick dotted line) next indicating “press the treatment start after applying the pad” is displayed.

The conductor pair patterns 3p (31p, 32p), 4p (41p, 42p) (portions surrounded by circular dotted lines) corresponding to (neck / shoulder course)) are displayed in a blinking manner. Next, after the conductors 31, 32, 41, 42 of the conductor pairs 3, 4 are attached to the body, when the “treatment start” switch 20 is pressed, the human body detection circuit 14 attaches the conductor pairs 3, 4. Check if human body is detected. After the human body detection is confirmed, as shown in FIG. 11 (d), the low frequency output to the conductor pairs 3 and 4 is started, and the whole body display part of the whole body display portion 7 of the liquid crystal screen changes from blinking to lighting. In addition, the enlarged display of the treatment site of the energization display unit 6, the conductor pattern unit 2p (3p, 4p), and the energization pattern unit 60 of the current flow are lit up. Further, the output intensity setting display unit 67 displays the output intensity based on the size of the fan-shaped pattern, and the remaining treatment time display unit 68 displays the remaining treatment time. The display content may be other than the above.

  Thus, according to the low frequency treatment device 10 in the present embodiment, the display unit 5 displays at least the whole body display and the treatment site in the whole body display unit 7 before the low frequency output. After the output, the current display is performed by the conductor pattern portions 2p and the respective energization pattern portions 60 in the energization display portion 6. Thereby, the treatment site | part selected before the treatment start can be recognized visually, and each sticking position of the guide part 2 can be clarified more. Further, by displaying the current flow after the start of treatment, it can be visually recognized that the treatment has actually started.

  According to the low frequency treatment device 10 according to each of the above-described embodiments and their modifications, the display has a plurality of conductors 31, 32, 41, and 42 and displays an energization state of a current flowing between the conductors. A portion 5 between the conductor patterns 31p, 32p, 41p, and 42p that show the conductors 31, 32, 41, and 42 in a pseudo manner on the display portion 5 and the conductors in which current actually flows. Since both of the energization patterns 61 to 66 shown are displayed, it is easy to visually understand the location between the conductors through which the current flows, and the user can more easily feel the therapeutic effect. In particular, in the case where the conductor pairs 3 and 4 that form a current-carrying pair are not fixed counterparts and the plurality of conductors 31, 32, 41, and 42 are freely switched, each conductor pattern and energization Since each display pattern can recognize the current flowing between the conductors by the pattern, the recognition effect on the current flow of the user can be further improved.

  In addition, this invention is not restricted to the said embodiment etc., Furthermore, it can change suitably. For example, in the present embodiment, the case where there are four conductors is shown, but a plurality of cases other than four can be similarly performed. In the present embodiment, the case where the display unit is divided into the whole display unit and the energization display unit has been described. However, these are used as a display device having a large integrated area, and are electronically divided into screens or screens. Various patterns, data, etc. can also be displayed by integration. Accordingly, the display pattern or the like on the entire screen is further enlarged and displayed, thereby making it easier to see visually.
