Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Purpose of the Invention Industrial Application Field The present invention improves and adjusts physical abnormalities such as poor blood circulation and abnormalities in internal organs that cause health disorders in the human body, thereby improving the health constitution. A method for manufacturing inexpensive and easily available ceramic health appliances made by molding and sintering bipolar ionic metals, clay, and stone as health appliances that can be modified in a short period of time and continuously maintain fast-acting effects. Regarding.

Conventional technology Traditionally, health disorders have been caused by stiff shoulders, muscle pain, lower back pain, etc. caused by extreme exercise or stress, and by external shocks such as congestion, pain, and internal organ abnormalities. It is desired to eliminate physical pain and adjust the constitution to a healthy body by removing various obstacles. Various prescriptions, mainly medical treatments, were used to treat these symptoms, and at the same time the health industry, which produced health foods and health appliances, was flourishing, and in this industry, devices using magnetism and semiconductors were used as physical therapy. There is a health method using equipment that takes advantage of the properties of Magnetic magnets utilize the ionic nature of bipolar magnetism and are said to improve health by regulating excess electricity, which causes abnormalities in the body, through ionic action.

However, it is generally used for stiff shoulders and the like, and has little effect on pain and the like. Although it is inexpensive, it has the drawbacks of a narrow range of application and lack of rapid action. The bipolar ionic nature of germanium metal, which utilizes its semiconducting properties, causes an ionization reaction within the body, and there are some products that try to improve the constitution. However, it also has the drawback of poor marketability as a product due to its high cost as a raw material.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention is within the scope of physical therapy, has a wide range of effects on health disorders as a health device, is fast-acting, has a long-lasting effect, and has semiconducting properties itself. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing health appliances that have performance similar to that of germanium metal using germanium metal, and that have wide marketability due to the low cost of the product based on the reduction in raw materials.

The ceramic health appliance according to the present invention is not a simple metal plate made by melting and molding germanium metal.
It is characterized by the fusion of silicon and germanium, which have semiconducting bipolar ionicity, and sintering using kaolinite, which has amphoteric ionicity, as a binder to form a ceramic.

(b) Means for solving the structural problems of the invention In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following structural requirements.

(1) Shirasu and germanium metal powders whose main component is silicon are mixed at a mixing ratio (weight ratio) of 50 to 75 shirasu to 100 germanium metal, and bonded and sintered. A silicon-germanium fusion product characterized by adding 20 to 30% (by weight) of the total amount of kaolinite powder as a material, mixing, kneading with water, molding, drying, and firing at a relatively low temperature. A method for manufacturing unit-shaped ceramic health appliances consisting of:

Effect (1) In the raw materials of the ceramic health appliances,
Reason for using volcanic ash (shirasu) as a silicon source.

It should be noted that the content of the silicon component in the composition of Shirasu is relatively high, and that the melting point of Shirasu is much lower than the melting point of general silicon. In other words, the melting point of whitebait is 1100
℃, whereas the melting point of ordinary silicon is 2000℃. If the difference between their melting points and that of germanium metal is large, unstable fusion will occur due to the difference in specific gravity during fusion, resulting in a form of simple fusion of silicon and germanium metal. This means that the greater the difference in melting point between silicon and germanium, the greater the instability. On the other hand, because the temperature difference between the melting point of silicon contained in Shirasu and the melting point of germanium is around 150℃, there is a problem with fusion compared to the temperature difference of more than 1000℃ with the melting point of general silicon. Eliminate stability.

In addition, the mixing of germanium metal during firing of raw materials promotes oxidation of shirasu and lowers the melting point of shirasu, causing it to melt at a temperature of around 1000°C. Therefore, a temperature relatively close to the melting point of germanium metal, i.e. 1020°C
Shirasu and germanium are fused before and after the process, and kaolinite is also brought to a temperature suitable for firing, making it possible to obtain stable ceramics with high strength and hardness.

It should be noted that the finer the powder particle size of each material as a raw material, the more stable the material can be obtained. It was found that when mixing large particle sizes, the coarse particles of germanium metal become independent and settle due to the difference in specific gravity during fusion, and that the finer the particles, the more homogeneous fusion takes place and the product material exhibits homogeneous properties. .

Therefore, it is desirable to adjust the particle size of each raw material to 80 mesh or more.

(2) Blending ratio of shirasu to germanium metal (a) As the blending ratio of shirasu to germanium metal increases, the firing temperature required to fuse the raw materials shifts to a higher temperature side, eventually reaching 1100℃.
or more is required.

Fired ceramic in such a state undergoes a chemical change in which germanium metal turns into germanium oxide at around 1080℃ as the firing temperature increases, and as the proportion of shirasu increases, an independent vitrification phenomenon occurs in the ceramic. becomes visible.

Ceramic as a sintered body is inhibited from its original effect as a health appliance and loses its commercial value.

The mixing ratio of shirasu to germanium metal should be around 100 to 50 shirasu to 100 germanium in terms of firing temperature and firing technology, but as described above, the original effect as a health appliance is For germanium metal 100, when Shirasu is less than 75, it is sufficiently effective against human disorders, and when the ratio is higher than that, it is seen that the effectiveness as a health appliance becomes weaker.

(b) As the blending ratio of shirasu to germanium metal decreases, the oxidizing power increases when germanium is melted, lowering the melting point of shirasu, and this reaction is observed at around 1000°C. In addition, the increase in the germanium metal content causes excessive oxidizing power to lower the shirasu melting point,
Depending on the firing temperature, the contact area between the material mounting shelf in the firing furnace and the raw material may oxidize and melt, causing the ceramic and shelf board to fuse and adhere, making it difficult to separate. In addition, the temperature range for the fusion of shirasu and germanium metal becomes narrower, and as the germanium compounding ratio increases, it causes a chemical change to germanium oxide, and although it is bonded to the shelf board, the fusion with shirasu becomes It is done and becomes a green-yellow ceramic. In this case, although it remains effective as a health appliance, the ceramic that has transitioned to germanium oxide has some water solubility.
If this is used directly on the human body, germanium will be eluted by the moisture in the human body during the period of use.
There is a risk that the lasting effect will be lost and the unit shape will change.

In order to avoid the above drawbacks, the lower limit of the blending ratio of Shirasu to 100% germanium metal was set at 50%.
The amount above is considered appropriate.

(c) Kaolinite, which is used as a bonding and sintering material, has the property of imparting electrical nonconductor properties to health appliances as the mixing ratio increases, and inhibiting the ionic effect associated with electrical transfer. Also, by reducing the mixing ratio of kaolinite, it becomes a cause of promoting bonding between the product and the shelf board in the furnace during firing. Here, the blending ratio of kaolinite is around 25% of the total amount (mixture of germanium metal and shirasu), and the upper and lower ranges are 20 to 30%.
%, but this is a condition to avoid the above-mentioned inconvenience.

(3) Usage form of ceramic health appliances When used on the human body as a ceramic health appliance, the appliance may be molded into a small size as long as it is applied to acupuncture points on the human body depending on the location of use. In addition, if the range of disability in the human body is wide, it can be molded in a larger size,
It is also possible to fully demonstrate the effect.

However, a diameter of 7 to 12 m/m is necessary for the user to easily and effectively adhere to the affected area, but there is no difference in use even if the diameter is around 10 m/m.

At the same time, the thickness is preferably about 2.5 to 3.0 m/m in order to prevent the adhesive sheet from peeling off when adhering to a human body.

Examples Shirasu used as a raw material of the present invention is a mineral distributed in the caldera zone in Kagoshima Prefecture, which was formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash, and the average content of silicic acid in the composition is around 75%. It is a high-quality silicic acid with a white appearance. An example of its composition is as follows.

SiO ₂ 78.5%, Al ₂ O ₃ 12.5%, Fe ₂ O ₃ 3.5%, CaO 0.6%, MgO 0.1%, K ₂ O 0.3%, NaO 0.7%, moisture 38% Average silicic acid content of other volcanic ash is around 60%, and the difference in silicic acid content of around 20% also becomes a factor that interferes with the bipolar ionicity of silicon.

Germanium metal is 99.9% Gl. General kaolinite was used as a sintering material.

It has been confirmed that the ceramic health appliance based on the manufacturing method of the present invention has the following strength and hardness.

Compressive strength 7460Kg/cm ² , Tensile strength 530Kg/cm ² , Shore hardness 70HS Next, the shape is free depending on the purpose of use, but generally L = as shown in the plan view in Figure 1.
It is molded to a size of approximately 10 m/m, and H = approximately 2.5 m/m as seen in the side view of Figure 2. When used, adhesive sheets are used to place it on the effective part of the human body, that is, the part where pain is directly felt. Areas where you feel tenderness,
Or, by applying it to acupuncture points for various symptoms in Oriental medicine, it releases excess electricity generated in the affected area, or conversely absorbs insufficient electricity, returning the electrical balance in the body to a normal state. These actions are almost the same as those of germanium metal itself, but compared to germanium metal's gunpowder properties, the ceramic of the present invention contains about 40% impurities, and is different in terms of composition and manufacturing process. This is completely different from conventional equipment.

Those who were effective within 5 hours after pasting...1 person Those who were effective within 10 hours...1 person.Efficacy was recognized in both cases, but the bonding to the shelf board during firing caused peeling. This has disadvantages in that it damages the shape of the ceramic, making the manufacturing process difficult and causing loss of commercial value.

(c) Effects Compared to conventional health appliances that use pure germanium metal, the ceramic manufactured by the method of the present invention is 40% of the total amount.
Even though the ingredients, manufacturing process, and production efficiency are completely different from conventional technology because impurities are mixed in the same proportions, the effect on physical condition is completely the same as that of germanium metal bodies. Ceramic health appliances can be obtained, and this also ensures low production costs, making it possible to reduce production costs by less than 50%.

Conventionally, the fusion of germanium metal and silicon was
It has been believed that unstable substances are formed due to differences in melting points, and as a result, they lose their original function as semiconductors, but according to the manufacturing method of the present invention, the melting point, specific gravity, and particle adaptation are the conditions for fusion. By looking for properties in Shirasu and forming a stable fusion of silicon and germanium, it is possible to obtain ceramics that have the same functions and effects as germanium metal bodies.

Note that it is effective to use the acupuncture points of oriental medicine as the site for applying the ceramic as a health appliance to the human body. Ceramic health appliances for each of these disorders can be used any number of times, and any adhesion to the appliance surface caused by the attachment equipment can be incinerated with a gas fire or the like to keep it new.

In addition, there are no symptoms of side effects when using it.
Safety was also confirmed.

As described above, unlike health appliances using germanium metal itself, which is subject to purity, the health appliances made of ceramic by the manufacturing method of the present invention are not inferior in terms of effectiveness at all.
In addition, there is a large difference in production costs, and it can be provided as a device that can be sufficiently and easily used by consumers.
