Abstract

PURPOSE:To circulate tissue fluid and to remove dysfunctions such as disturbed blood stream by penetrating electric current due to magnetic field and electrode caused by sorenoid coil into the body from on top of the skin surface and by arranging coil and electrode so as to cross at a direct angle to the direction of electric current and magnetic field. CONSTITUTION:Electrode pairs 4-1 and 4-2 are placed face to face with a sorenoid coil 5 between them, and one face of the coil is adhered closely to the surface of a body 8 of an electrode pair. Between electrodes 4-1 and 4-2, electric current is passed and magnetic field blows out from the coil surface. At this time, ampere force acts on the vertical face (vertical to the paper surface) from the foreground to the background, while current-carrying electrolytic components (blood, lymphatic fluid and other tissue fluid) flow from the foreground to the background, with the direction of blow reversed upon reversal of the direction of the coil. That is, venous blood stream can be increased by adjusting properly the phase relation of magnetic field and electric current, and circulation of not only blood but also ion dissociating lymphatic fluid can be increased forcedly.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention applies electromagnetic force to the skin surface of living animals, including humans, to circulate ionic electrolytes such as blood and lymph within the living body in a certain direction. medical care that enhances the circulation function of the body,
Concerning electrical devices for health promotion.

[Prior art and problems to be solved by the present invention] A device that attaches a pair of electrodes to the human skin surface and applies a pulsed alternating current is used in the field of medical equipment as a so-called low-frequency electrostimulation device. has been done. Further, a device that causes an alternating magnetic field generated by a solenoid coil to act on a human body is used as a medical device 1 as a magnetic therapy device, and as a health device. Both are said to be effective against pain diseases such as stiff shoulders and rheumatism, as well as autonomic nerve imbalance.

However, although these electromagnetic therapy devices have been shown to be effective in treating some pain disorders, their mechanisms of action are largely unknown, and they are not guaranteed to be effective against specific symptoms, so they are generally not effective. is still being positioned as an auxiliary medical device.

The device according to the present invention has the function of causing an electromagnetic field to act on the human body by an appropriate method described later to circulate tissue fluids such as lymph fluid and blood, and eliminate functional disorders such as blood circulation disorders. Conventional methods for this purpose mainly involve the use of drugs such as vasodilators, as well as various types of pine surges that directly apply mechanical force to the human body.
It was dangerous because it was accompanied by side effects from drugs and disorders caused by friction and pressure.

When a current is passed through an electric body in a certain direction and a magnetic field is applied in a direction perpendicular to the current, the conductor receives a force in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the current and magnetic field due to the armature. If the conductor is movable, it will move in the direction in which it receives the force. This principle is the basic principle of electrical to mechanical energy conversion that is connected to AC/DC motors. Furthermore, seawater jet propulsion devices have been introduced on an experimental scale based on the same principle for conductive liquids such as seawater. The device of the present invention is based on these principles of electrodynamics, and allows a magnetic field from a solenoid coil and an electric current from an electrode pair to penetrate into the human body from above the human skin, and the directions of the current and magnetic field are approximately perpendicular to each other. Arrange the coils and electrodes as shown. At this time, the interstitial fluid including blood in the body is subjected to an electric current (2), a force f moving in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field H, and f, as shown in FIG.

〔Example〕 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the principle of an embodiment of the present invention.

Electrode pairs (1), (2) and solenoid coil (2) are positioned facing each other with the coil sandwiched between them as shown in the figure, and one surface of the coil and the electrode surface are placed in close contact with the surface of the living body. ■ is a power transformer that supplies current to both the coil and electrodes, and ■ is a commercial power source. ■ is a part of the human body (biological body). In this figure, a current flows between the electrodes 1-1 and 2-2 as shown by the solid line, and at the same time, a magnetic field flows out from the coil surface as shown by the dotted line. At this time, Ampere's force is applied to the current from the front to the back in a plane perpendicular to the solid line and the dotted line (perpendicular to the page), and the electrolyte components (blood, lymph, and other tissue fluids) that are current carriers flow from the front to the back. Flows towards the back. The direction of flow is reversed by reversing the direction of the coil.

FIG. 3 is a diagram of an actual device based on the principle of FIG. 2.

Here, a magnetic core (■) is used in the coil to strengthen the coil magnetic field. The electrodes ①-1 and ①-2 are movable by springs installed inside the casing so as to conform to the crimping surface. 2 cores for electrode pair lead, 2 cores for coil lead, total 4
On the front of the panel are a heart metal volume ■ and an indicator 0 that displays voltage and current values. ■ and ■ are a power switch and a power plug, respectively.

The probe housing is 20 cm long and 4 cm thick, and can be held in the hand and moved and crimped onto any biological surface. The electrode (3) has an area of about 6 CIll and a facing interval of about 4 cm. Figure 4 shows another embodiment based on the same principle.
It differs from FIG. 3 in that it is U-shaped and the magnetic field enters at two locations. Here, the directions of the current and magnetic field intersect in a plane parallel to the surface of the living body, so the M transverse waves (blood, lymph, etc.) dissociated from the ions of the living body flow from the surface to the inside, or from the inside to the surface. flowing towards.

〔Effect of the invention〕

When the device shown in FIG. 3 was used and the power supply (consumed) was 30 Watts, when the device was placed perpendicular to the venous flow on the contact surface of the back of the hand, an increase in blood flow was observed immediately after electricity was applied.

That is, by making the direction of the applied magnetic field and current perpendicular to the venous blood vessels, and by making the phase relationship between the magnetic field and current appropriate, blood circulation in the veins is stimulated.

This effect forcibly increases the circulation not only of blood but also of other tissue fluids such as ion-dissociated lymph fluid.

This effect is considered to be similar to the direct mechanical stimulation effect that benefits various lesions related to the circulatory system, so it can be said to be an effect linked to the recovery and healing of lesions. This treatment mechanism is completely different from that of conventional electric and magnetic therapy devices.
Because it is a phenomenon that can be clearly explained, it not only has the advantage of being easy to predict the therapeutic effect, but also opens the door to a wide range of applications in the treatment and recovery of lesions and diseases related to the circulation of biological tissue fluids. .

Additionally, the side effects are the same as those of conventional electromagnetic therapy, so there are no concerns like with drugs.
