Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a thermal low-frequency treatment device that comes into contact with acupuncture points on the sole of the foot.It heats the entire footrest and has a removable electrode that can be positioned on the surface of the footrest. It is set up in

Conventional pine surge treatment devices employing a heating mechanism are known. (For example, Jikko 51-
43034 or Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-6505, etc.) Furthermore, a footwear-shaped low-frequency treatment device for the soles of the feet is also known (for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-20195).

However, conventional products do not have the concept of performing low-frequency treatment while heating the entire sole of the foot, and in addition, low-frequency treatment requires that the electrodes contact the acupuncture points correctly, but conventional products do not take this into consideration. has not been done. In particular, in the latter case, since the conductor is surrounded by a ring-shaped heating agent and the foot is placed on it, the effect of pressing the acupuncture points cannot be expected.

This product heats the feet, which tend to get congested, to promote blood circulation, and because it applies low-frequency stimulation by applying pressure to the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet, it is expected to have therapeutic effects not found in conventional products. It is.

The configuration of the present invention is to form a heating cavity under a box-shaped or footwear-shaped insulating base plate, provide a conductive plate in parallel to the insulating base plate in the cavity, and insert electrodes into the insulating base plate. A contact electrode is attached to the contact electrode in a manner that allows the contact electrode to be inserted and removed at will, and a heater is provided in the heating chamber below the conductive plate, and a current to the heater and a low frequency current to the conductive plate are provided. It is equipped with a controller for adjustment.

In the present invention, the contact electrode can be used either with a central insertion leg or with an eccentrically mounted contact electrode.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the footrest base plate of the present invention has a rectangular box shape will be described.

In the figure, 1 is an underframe for resting a foot, 2 is a toe cover, 3 is a cover cloth that covers the underframe, and 4 is a footrest mark shown on the surface.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an insulating stand provided in the footrest portion within the underframe, and a heat sink 15 is provided in series to cover the back surface of the underside to form a heating chamber 16 below.

6 is a metal conductive plate supported between the base plate 5 and the heat sink 15; 12 is a heater fixed on the heat sink 15;

Reference numeral 8 denotes electrode insertion circular holes drilled on the base plate, which are arranged in a scattered manner near the acupuncture points according to the size of the foot shape, etc.

Reference numeral 9 represents an acupoint contact electrode, and reference numeral 10 represents an insertion leg, which is protruded from the center of the back surface of the electrode 9 or at an eccentric position and is pressed into contact with the conductive plate 6.

13 is a controller for adjusting the heating current 13A of the heater 12, the frequency 13B of the low frequency current, and the voltage 13C.

Of course, this controller may be directly fixed to the underframe without using the cord 14.

In this product, it is easy to separate the left and right underframes to form a slipper-like shape.

To use the above-mentioned product, first, by energizing the heater 12, the temperature of the heating chamber rises and the heat of the heater is transmitted to the base plate 5 via the heat sink 15, warming the feet. Improve blood circulation.

Of course, the heater temperature is maintained at a set temperature by a thermosensor or the like (not shown). Then, a low-frequency current is applied, but among the multiple electrodes, the parts with weaker stimulation are the electrodes that are off the acupuncture points, so their positions are adjusted so that the stimulation from all electrodes is approximately equal. do. Furthermore, in the present invention, since the electrodes are detachable, it is possible to use only the most effective one.

In this way, for convenience in individual treatment, the conductive plate for each electrode may be divided and the current applied thereto may be individually switched by the controller.

As described above, this product heats the entire sole of the foot and applies low-frequency current to acupoints, increasing the therapeutic effect.

In addition, in this case, since the heating chamber 16 equipped with a heater is provided below the base plate, the heat retention is good and the heater power can be reduced. It is therapeutically effective because it can reduce temporal temperature differences and evenly heat the entire sole of the foot.
