Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify exchanging work and to make inexpensive by dividing a cord for connecting the therapeutic apparatus and the therapeutic body so as to be attachable and detachable, thereby exchanging only a second cord and the therapeutic body in the case a therapeutic body is deteriorated due to time aging, and a second cord is disconnected. CONSTITUTION:In this apparatus, a therapeutic apparatus main body 1 and a therapeutic body 6 are connected electrically so as to be attachable and detachable by a therapeutic apparatus main body side cord 13 in which one end is connected to the therapeutic apparatus main body 1, and a jack 15 is formed in the other end, and a therapeutic body side code 11 in which the therapeutic body 6 is attached to one end, and a terminal 12 is formed in the other end.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electrotherapy device for treating by applying a treatment body to an affected area and applying a treatment current.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in this type of electric therapy device, a therapeutic body having adhesiveness and a main body of the medical treatment device are connected by a cord, and the medical treatment device is attached to an affected part of a human body to operate the main body of the medical treatment device. Then, a treatment current is applied to the treatment body to give a massage effect by electrical stimulation.

However, since the therapeutic body has adhesiveness, the cord is pulled when the connecting portion between the therapeutic body and the cord is disconnected during repeated attachment and detachment, or when the therapeutic body is peeled from the affected area at the end of treatment or the like. If it is peeled off, the cord may break.

Further, since the cord connected to the treatment body cannot be attached or detached, when the cord is broken, the plug on the main body of the treatment device is removed and not only the cord but also the treatment body which has not been replaced yet are replaced. It had to be done and had to be replaced. Further, even if the treatment body deteriorates due to aging, not only the treatment body but also the undamaged cord must be replaced, so there is a problem in that it costs money.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electrotherapy device which can be easily replaced at the time of disconnection of a cord and does not require replacement cost.

[0006]

According to the present invention, there is provided a treatment device body, a treatment body which is attached to an affected part and electrically connected to the treatment device body, and a first cord which is connected to the treatment device body. And a second cord having the other end attached to the first cord and the other end detachably connected to the first cord.

[0007]

According to the present invention, when used, the second cord is connected to the first cord and used, but when the treatment body deteriorates due to aging or the second cord is broken,
Only the second cord and the treatment body, that is, only the deteriorated and damaged portions can be replaced.

[0008]

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a treatment device main body, which is provided with a heat switch 2 and a treatment switch 3, and supplies electricity to a heating element 8 and an electrode 9 of a treatment body 6 which will be described later, via a heating cord 4 and a treatment cord 5, respectively. It is like this.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a therapeutic body, which is an insulative base 7 made of vinyl chloride having flexibility, a heating element 8 printed on the entire surface of the base 7 by pattern printing, and an electrode 9. ,
It is configured by stacking conductive pads 10 having a gel-like adhesive property.

The heating element 8 is adapted to generate heat by being energized by the treatment device main body 1 through the heating cord 4, and as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG.
Since the treatment body 6 is attached in parallel to the bending direction, it is easy to follow the curved surface of the human body when the treatment body 6 is attached to the human body. That is, the base 7 is divided into left and right parts, and the divided parts are
Since the heating elements 8 are attached in parallel to each other in the left-right direction, the treatment body 6 is easily bent like the AA cross section shown in FIG. 7A and the BB cross section shown in FIG. 7B. Easy to follow curved surfaces such as the human body.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the base 7 may be divided vertically and horizontally and obliquely, and the heating element 8 may be stretched in parallel in the divided portions. of
(a), (b), (c), (d) shows the C-C cross section, D-D cross section, EE cross section, and FF cross section that can easily bend in any direction, and can be curved on the human body, etc. It's even easier to follow.

The electrode 9 is formed by carbon-printing on a rubber sheet, and is energized by the treatment device main body 1 via the treatment cord 5.

11 has one end attached to the treatment body 6,
A treatment body side cord having a terminal 12 formed at the other end, which is composed of the heating cord 4 and the treatment cord 5 and is adapted to detachably connect the terminal 12 to a jack 15 of a main body side cord 13 described later. There is.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a main body side cord having one end connected to the treatment device main body 1, and the other end has a terminal 12 of the treatment body side cord 11.
Forming a press-contact piece 14 to be pressed against. 15 is a jack provided on the end of the main body side cord 11 to cover the pressure contact piece 14, and when the terminal 12 of the treatment body side cord 11 is inserted into the jack 15, the pressure contact piece 14 is pressed against the terminal 12 and treated. The vessel body 1 and the treatment body 6 are electrically connected.

Thus, when using, the treatment body side code 11
When the terminal 12 of is inserted into the jack 15 of the cord 13 on the main body of the treatment device and connected, and the thermal treatment and the electric treatment are simultaneously performed, when the thermal switch 2 and the treatment switch 3 are turned on, the treatment device main body 1 to the treatment body Electric current is applied to the heating element 8 and the electrode 9 of 6 to heat the treatment body 6 and electrical treatment can be performed.

Further, when performing only the thermal treatment or the electric treatment, the treatment can be performed by operating only the thermal switch 2 and the treatment switch 3, respectively, and can be used according to preference.

With this configuration, the treatment device body 1 and the treatment body 6
Since the cord connecting the and is divided and the treatment bodies 6 can be detachably connected to the treatment device body 1 independently of each other, in the case where the treatment body side cord 11 is broken or one treatment body 6 is deteriorated, Only the portion from the treatment body 6 to the terminal 12 of the treatment body side cord 11 needs to be replaced, and the replacement work is simple and the cost can be reduced.

Further, the cord is easier to be entangled as compared with the structure in which the cord connecting the treatment device body 1 and the treatment body 6 is not divided.

[0020]

According to the present invention, the main body of the treatment device and the treatment body can be electrically connected by detachably connecting the second cord and the first cord, and the treatment body deteriorates due to aging. If you do, or if the second cord is broken, you only need to replace the second cord and the therapeutic body,
Replacement work is easy and costs can be reduced.

Further, by splitting the cord connecting the treatment device main body and the treatment body, the entanglement of the cord can be easily released.
