Next, the method of use and operation of the treatment device 1 will be explained. In use, first, the patient 35:
With your clothes still on, enter the upper tank 6, lie down on your back, and place your head on the pillow 26.
Place it on the table and stretch your legs. Thereafter, the opening of the upper tank section 6 is covered with the hood 19 and the cover sheet 20 to form a closed accommodation space 22, and the patient 35 is accommodated in the closed accommodation space 22. At this time, the banner 23 attached to the cover sheet 20 will hang down, but the banner 23 is pulled together so that it hangs on the sides of both shoulders. As a result, the curtain 23 and the patient partition the closed accommodation space 22 into a head side accommodation space 24 and a body accommodation space 25.

This treatment device 1 is designed to exert mental relaxation effects, thermal effects, vibration stimulation effects, magnetic effects, etc. on the patient 35, and each effect will be explained in turn.

Mental Relaxation Effect When the patient 35 lies supine, the hood 19 is positioned above the patient's head, and the hood 19 blocks external light, so the head-side accommodation space 24 is kept in darkness. becomes. As a result, the patient 35 is isolated from the outside world and becomes mentally stable. Also, speaker 2
From 7 onwards, music, etc., depending on the mental state of patient 35, will be played, and the music, etc.
is in a mentally stable state. Moreover, at this time, the body housing space 25 is brought into an optimal state with warm air to enhance the effects of music, etc., and the relaxing effect of music etc. is further enhanced. Furthermore, since ozone, oxygen, and phytoncide from forest bathing can be supplied to the patient's face from the nozzle 28, sufficient oxygen can be taken into the body for cardiopulmonary function, resulting in a stable mental state. This will allow you to create and relieve stress. Furthermore, when the patient 35 lies supine, the entire body lies on the vinyl sheet 8 of the water bed 11, and the liquid enclosed in the water bed 11 fits onto the body via the vinyl sheet 8. For this reason, the patient 35 will feel as comfortable as floating on water. By creating such a mentally relaxing state,
Pain will be alleviated.

The sealed liquid 10 of the thermal effect water bed 11 is kept at a warm temperature by the action of the unit 13, and hot air at a predetermined temperature is blown out from each nozzle 29 by the unit 30. Far-infrared rays are emitted from far-infrared substances. Therefore, the patient 35 receives the heat of the sealed liquid via the vinyl sheet 8, the heat of the warm air, and furthermore, receives far infrared rays, so that the patient's 35 body is warmed from the core. As a result, it is possible to obtain an effect similar to the sauna effect in a sauna facility, and as a thermal effect, metabolism can be promoted and pain such as joint pain can be alleviated. At this time, if an electric heater-type hot pack is applied locally to the patient to improve blood circulation, pain relief will be even more effective.

In the vibration stimulation effect waterbed 11, a jet stream is ejected from each ejector nozzle 16 toward the vinyl sheet 8, and at this time, as described above, the body of the patient 35 is exposed to the vinyl sheet. Since each ejector nozzle 16 fits into the sealed liquid 10 through the ejector nozzle 8, the jet stream is efficiently transmitted to the entire body. Therefore, the entire body is stimulated and vibrated by the jet stream, and the feeling of fatigue in the entire body is effectively alleviated by the jet stream. At this time, air bubbles (air) are generated by the jet flow, and the air bubbles stay on the bottom surface of the vinyl sheet 8.
Since the slope is slightly higher toward the side, the air bubbles are guided by the vinyl sheet 8 and smoothly led to the air vent pipe 15.
Air can be easily vented using the air vent pipe 15. In this case, the jet flow is not only made into a monotonous jet flow, but also the strength (strength/weakness) of the jet jet flow is changed, the jet flow is made into an intermittent jet flow, and the intermittent time of the intermittent jet flow is changed.
The content of the jet stream can be changed in response to the sound flowing from the speaker 27, and it is possible to prevent the jet stream from getting stuck in a rut for the patient and to supply an appropriate jet stream depending on the patient. Therefore, the feeling of fatigue in the entire body can be alleviated even more effectively. In addition, the promotion of blood circulation due to the stimulation vibration based on the jet flow combines with the above-mentioned thermal effect to improve metabolism.

The magnetic effect magnetic generator (terminal) 31 creates a fluctuating magnetic field within the upper tank 6, and the fluctuating magnetic field improves the blood circulation of the patient 35 and activates the function of the digestive organs. At the same time, it exerts a magnetic effect that strengthens sweating and urination.

[0021] Thus, in the treatment device 1,
Since physical treatment based on thermal effects, vibration stimulation effects, magnetic effects, etc. and mental treatment based on mental relaxation effects can be performed simultaneously, the therapeutic effect can be enhanced synergistically.

Although the embodiments have been described above, the present invention includes the following. ■The height position of the ejector pipe 17 can be adjusted. (2) Providing a solenoid valve or the like in each ejector nozzle 16 to individually change the ejection timing of the jet stream from each ejector nozzle 16 to match, for example, music played from the speaker 27. ■The humidity of the warm air sent out from the nozzle 29 should also be adjustable. - Changing the content, flow rate, etc. of hot air sent out from the nozzle 29 in accordance with music etc. from the speaker 27. ,

[0023]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the first and second inventions, it is possible to provide a bed device that can stabilize the mind even more effectively. If so, the effect can be further enhanced.
