In this potential treatment device 100, the output voltage is adjusted by switching the primary tap of the transformer 102 with the switch SW.

  Generally, for example, 3000 V, 6000 V, 9000 V, or the like is set as the output voltage. However, in the potential treatment device 100 having the above configuration, a constant potential set by the switch SW is applied to the human body. It will be. As described above, when a constant potential is applied to the human body, the human body gets used to stimulation by the potential, and the therapeutic effect is weakened. Therefore, various potential treatment devices that change the output voltage so that a constant potential is not applied to the human body have been proposed.

There was a problem that could not. For this reason, the inventors of the present application are known to have a constant rhythm found in water, wind, light, etc. in the natural world and give a relaxing effect to a person in the patent application according to Patent Document 2. An invention has been proposed in which the output voltage and the output time are changed in the electric potential therapy apparatus using “fluctuation”.

  First, when the user turns on the main power switch in the operation unit 3, the signal is transmitted from the operation unit 3 to the CPU 201, and the power supply circuit is supplied with power from the AC power source by the control signal from the CPU 201. Turn on the main power.

  When the user inserts the plug of the electric floor 27 into the first connector 16, the first sensor 18 detects that the plug of the electric floor 27 is inserted into the first connector 16, and the first detection signal is output. The data is transmitted to the CPU 201, and the CPU 201 receives the first detection signal from the first sensor 18 (S101).

  When receiving the first detection signal transmitted from the first sensor 18, the CPU 201 determines whether the second detection signal or the third detection signal is being received (S102). If it is determined that the second detection signal or the third detection signal is being received (S102, Yes), the CPU 201 performs an error display process (S103).

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the error display process, the CPU 201 transmits a notification signal for outputting an error message by sound to the sound IC 6 and also generates a notification image generation signal for displaying the error message as an image. (S103-1).

  The audio IC 6 generates audio data based on the notification signal from the CPU 201, and the image IC 7 generates image data based on the notification image generation signal from the CPU 201. The sound IC 6 outputs an error message as sound from the speaker 61 based on the generated sound data, and the image IC 7 displays an error message image on the liquid crystal display 71 based on the generated image data.

  The CPU 201 determines whether only one of the first detection signal, the second detection signal, or the third detection signal is being received (S103-2). When the user unplugs the plug of the electric potential treatment probe 28 or the plug of the low frequency treatment probe 29 from the second connector 17 or the third connector 25 and only the plug of the electric floor 27 is inserted, the CPU 201 Determines that only the first detection signal is being received (S103-2, Yes), transmits a signal for stopping audio output to the audio IC 6, and outputs a signal for stopping image display as an image. It transmits to IC7 (S103-3). As a result, the error display process ends. Thus, the combination electrotherapy apparatus 1 which concerns on this embodiment alert | reports an error message as an audio | voice and an image, when a plug is inserted in 2 or more of the 1st-3rd connectors 16,17,25. Therefore, it is possible to prompt the user to select a treatment method, and it is impossible to perform the treatment unless only one plug is inserted, so that the treatment can be performed safely.

  When the error display process (S103) ends or when it is determined in step S102 that the second detection signal and the third detection signal are not received (S102, No), the CPU 201 turns the first switch 13 on. While switching to the electric floor 27 side, a signal for generating an operation image related to potential treatment using the electric floor 27 is transmitted to the image IC 7 (S104).

  The image IC 7 generates data related to the operation image based on the signal from the CPU 201, and displays the operation image on the liquid crystal display 71 based on the generated data related to the operation image. As a result, the user can perform a setting operation related to potential treatment using the electric floor 27.

  The CPU 201 determines whether or not the output setting is set to any one of “high”, “medium”, and “low” in the operation unit 3 (S105). For example, when the user sets the output setting to “high” on the operation unit 3, the CPU 201 ends the first output corresponding to the set output setting “high” based on the output setting signal from the operation unit 3. It is determined whether or not the point information is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S106).

When the first output end point information corresponding to the output setting “high” is not stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S106, No), the CPU 201 stores the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program stored in the main storage device 202. And voltage control data corresponding to the output setting “high” is generated according to the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program (S107). The voltage control data corresponding to the output setting “high” is data for changing the output voltage in the range of 0 to 9000 V based on 1 / f fluctuation . Then, the CPU 201 stores the generated voltage control data in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S108).

If the user sets the output setting to “medium” or “low” on the operation unit 3 and the first output end point information corresponding to the output setting is not stored in the auxiliary storage device 203, the CPU 201. Reads out the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program stored in the main memory 202, and generates voltage control data corresponding to the output setting “medium” or “low” according to the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program (S107). The voltage control data is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S108). The voltage control data corresponding to the output setting “medium” is data for changing the output voltage in the range of 0 to 7000 V based on 1 / f fluctuation , and the voltage control data corresponding to the output setting “low”. Data is data for changing the output voltage in the range of 0 to 5000 V based on 1 / f fluctuation .

Next, CPU 201, in accordance with 1 / f fluctuation conversion program, the voltage output time based on the generated voltage control data to generate the converted time control data to 1 / f fluctuation (S109), the generated time control data, The data is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 in association with the voltage control data (S110). The time control data is data for changing the time during which the voltage changed based on the voltage control data is output based on 1 / f fluctuation in the range of 0.1 to 10 seconds.

Subsequently, the CPU 201 generates frequency control data according to the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program (S111), and stores the generated frequency control data in the auxiliary storage device 203 in association with the voltage control data and the time control data (S112). ). The frequency control data is data for changing the output frequency in the range of 45 to 80 Hz based on 1 / f fluctuation .

  On the other hand, when the first output end point information corresponding to the output setting “high” is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S106, Yes), the CPU 201 outputs the first output stored in the auxiliary storage device 203. The end point information is read (S113).

  CPU201 judges whether treatment time was set up by operation part 3 (S114). When the user sets the treatment time using the operation unit 3, the CPU 201 stores the set treatment time in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S115). Then, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the treatment start switch is turned on in the operation unit 3 (S116).

  When the user turns on the treatment start switch in the operation unit 3, the CPU 201 transmits a signal related to the set treatment time to the timer 4 (S 117), and voltage control data and time control data stored in the auxiliary storage device 203. The frequency control data is read (S118).

  Then, the CPU 201 controls the first sine wave generator 8 and the first variable resistor 10 based on the read voltage control data, time control data, and frequency control data (S119). At this time, the CPU 201 controls the first sine wave generator 8 and the first variable resistor 10 so as to gradually increase and decrease the voltage at a ratio of 1000 V / 0.5 seconds. Thus, by gradually raising and lowering the voltage, the inrush current can be reduced and adverse effects on the circuit and the human body can be reduced. When the first output end point information is read in step S113, the CPU 201 performs control after the output end point in the voltage control data, time control data, and frequency control data according to the read first output end point information. Based on the data, the first sine wave generator 8 and the first variable resistor 10 are controlled (S119).

The CPU 201 controls the first variable resistor 10 so that the output voltage generated on the secondary side of the first transformer 14 via the first amplifier 12 is controlled to change based on 1 / f fluctuation. The Then, a voltage generated by the first transformer 14 that changes based on the 1 / f fluctuation is output to the electric floor 27, and a potential is applied from the electric floor 27 to the human body.

  When the CPU 201 receives a signal related to the end of the treatment time from the activated timer 4 (S120), based on the signal, the CPU 201 stops generating the voltage (S121) and ends the processing operation and ends the output of the voltage. Information (first output end point information) relating to the obtained points is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S122).

As described above, the CPU 201 reads the voltage control data, the time control data, and the frequency control data, and based on these data, the first sine wave generator 8 and the first variable until the set treatment time ends. The resistor 10 and thus the first transformer 14 are controlled, and the generated voltage is output to the electric floor 27. Therefore, a potential that changes based on 1 / f fluctuation is applied to the user. As described above, the combination electrotherapy apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment can prevent the user from getting used to stimulation by electric potential, can maintain the therapeutic effect, and can also give the user a feeling of relaxation. Furthermore, by changing the output frequency along with the voltage and the output time of the voltage based on the 1 / f fluctuation , it is possible to exert an effect of relieving pain felt by a rheumatoid arthritis patient.

  Next, the processing operation of the low frequency treatment using the low frequency treatment probe 29 in the combination electrotherapy apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

  First, when the user turns on the main power switch in the operation unit 3, the signal is transmitted from the operation unit 3 to the CPU 201, and the power supply circuit is supplied with power from the AC power source by the control signal from the CPU 201. Turn on the main power.

  When the user inserts the plug of the low frequency treatment probe 29 into the third connector 25, the third sensor 26 detects that the plug of the low frequency treatment probe 29 is inserted into the third connector 25, The third detection signal is transmitted to the CPU 201, and the CPU 201 receives the third detection signal from the third sensor 26 (S201).

  When the CPU 201 receives the third detection signal transmitted from the third sensor 26, the CPU 201 determines whether the first detection signal or the second detection signal is being received (S202). If it is determined that the first detection signal or the second detection signal is being received (S202, Yes), the CPU 201 performs an error display process as shown in FIG. 4 (S203).

  When the error display process (S203) is completed, or when it is determined in step S202 that the first detection signal and the second detection signal are not received (S202, No), the CPU 201 determines that the low-frequency treatment probe 29 is not used. A signal for generating an operation image related to low-frequency treatment using is transmitted to the image IC 7 (S204).

  The image IC 7 generates data related to the operation image based on the operation image generation signal, and displays the operation image on the liquid crystal display 71 based on the generated data related to the operation image. Specifically, an image for allowing the user to select muscle stimulation therapy or nerve stimulation therapy is displayed on the liquid crystal display 71.

  When the user selects muscle stimulation therapy or nerve stimulation therapy in the operation unit 3 in accordance with the operation image displayed on the liquid crystal display 71, the CPU 201 indicates that the muscle stimulation therapy transmitted from the operation unit 3 has been selected. Alternatively, a signal indicating that nerve stimulation treatment has been selected (treatment method selection signal) is received (S205), and the second switch 22 is connected to the second variable resistor 11 side (muscle stimulation treatment) based on the treatment method selection signal. Side) or pulse wave generation circuit 21 side (neural stimulation treatment side) (S206). For example, when the user selects the muscle stimulation treatment using the operation unit 3, the CPU 201 controls to switch the second switch 22 to the second variable resistor 11 side based on the treatment method selection signal from the operation unit 3. A signal is transmitted to the second switch 22, and the second switch 22 is switched to the second variable resistor 11 side.

  The CPU 201 receives a signal (output setting signal) related to the output setting from the operation unit 3, and whether or not the output setting is set to any one of “high”, “medium”, and “low” in the operation unit 3. Is determined (S207). For example, when the user sets the output setting to “high” on the operation unit 3, the CPU 201 sets the second output end point information corresponding to the set output setting based on the output setting signal from the operation unit 3. It is determined whether it is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S208).

When the second output end point information corresponding to the output setting “high” is not stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S208, No), the CPU 201 stores the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program stored in the main storage device 202. And the pulse height control data corresponding to the output setting “high” is generated according to the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program (S209). The pulse height control data corresponding to the output setting “high” is data for changing the pulse height in the range of 0 to 30 V based on 1 / f fluctuation . Then, the CPU 201 stores the generated pulse height control data in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S210).

When the user sets the output setting to “medium” or “low” on the operation unit 3 and the second output end point information corresponding to the output setting is not stored in the auxiliary storage device 203, the CPU 201. Reads out the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program stored in the main memory 202 and generates pulse height control data corresponding to the output setting “medium” or “low” according to the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program (S209). The pulse height control data is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S210). The pulse height control data corresponding to the output setting “medium” is data for changing the pulse height based on 1 / f fluctuation in the range of 0 to 15 V, and the pulse corresponding to the output setting “low”. The high control data is data for changing the pulse height in the range of 0 to 10 V based on 1 / f fluctuation .

Next, in accordance with the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program, the CPU 201 generates pulse width control data obtained by converting the pulse width into 1 / f fluctuation (S211), and associates the generated pulse width control data with the pulse height control data. The data is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S212). The pulse width control data is data for changing the pulse width based on 1 / f fluctuation in the range of 2 to 20 ms.

Further, the CPU 201 generates pause time control data in which the pause time is converted to 1 / f fluctuation according to the 1 / f fluctuation conversion program (S213), and the generated pause time control data is related to the pulse height control data and the pulse width. The data is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 in association with the data (S214). The pause time control data is data for changing the pause time (time from the fall of the pulse to the rise) in the range of 2 to 20 ms based on 1 / f fluctuation .

  On the other hand, when the second output end point information corresponding to the output setting “high” is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S208, Yes), the CPU 201 outputs the output setting “high” stored in the auxiliary storage device 203. The second output end point information corresponding to "is read (S215).

  CPU201 judges whether treatment time was set up by operation part 3 (S216). When the user sets the treatment time using the operation unit 3, the CPU 201 stores the set treatment time in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S217). Then, the CPU 201 determines whether or not the treatment start switch is turned on in the operation unit 3 (S218).

  When the user turns on the treatment start switch on the operation unit 3, the CPU 201 transmits a signal related to the set treatment time to the timer 4 (S 219), and the pulse height control data and pulse width stored in the auxiliary storage device 203. Relevant data and pause time control data are read (S220).

  Then, the CPU 201 receives the second variable resistor 11 (when the signal indicating that the nerve stimulation treatment is selected in step S205 is received based on the read pulse height control data, pulse width control data, and pause time control data. The third variable resistor 20) is controlled (S221). When the second output end point information is read out in step S215, the CPU 201 follows the second output end point information read out from the second of the pulse height control data, pulse width control data, and pause time control data. Based on the control data after the output end point, the second variable resistor 11 (or the third variable resistor 20) is controlled (S221).

When the CPU 201 controls the second variable resistor 11 (or the third variable resistor 20), the pulse voltage pulse height and pulse generated on the secondary side of the third transformer 24 via the second amplifier 23 are controlled. The width and pause time are controlled to change based on 1 / f fluctuation . By changing the pulse width and pause time based on 1 / f fluctuation , the pulse frequency can be changed based on 1 / f fluctuation as a result. The pulse voltage generated by the third transformer 24 is output to the low-frequency treatment probe 29, and changes in pulse height, pulse width, and pause time based on 1 / f fluctuations from the low-frequency treatment probe 29 to the human body. Applied pulse current.

  When the CPU 201 receives a signal related to the end of the treatment time from the activated timer 4 (S222), the CPU 201 stops the generation of the pulse voltage based on the signal (S223) and ends the processing operation, and also relates to the output end point. Information (second output end point information) is stored in the auxiliary storage device 203 (S224).

When it is input to the unit 2 (CPU 201) and is different from the set voltage value, the control unit 2 (CPU 201) causes the first variable resistor 10, the second variable resistor 11 or the third to be the set voltage value. The variable resistor 20 may be controlled.

  Moreover, when the spark detector is provided in the combination electrotherapy apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment and a spark is detected, the information is transmitted to the control unit 2 (CPU 201), and in response to an instruction from the control unit 2 (CPU 201).
