TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a therapeutic device, and more particularly to a therapeutic device capable of electrically treating various diseases when worn on the ear.

(Prior Art) The present inventor has already filed an application for Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 64-11566 as a therapeutic device capable of electrically treating various diseases.

That is, this application describes an electrode that can be brought into contact with an arbitrary position such as a palm, an oscillation circuit that can generate a desired low-frequency current, an output waveform of the oscillation circuit, and a waveform of a current extracted from another part of the human body. A computer for comparing and processing
And a display device for displaying the output waveform of the computer, wherein a low frequency voltage having a waveform adapted to the acupuncture point between the acupoint protruding from the inside of each part of the human body and the other part. Is applied, and the electric current is applied to the human body corresponding to each acupoint to electrically stimulate the local body, thereby treating the local disease.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) By the way, this device was originally developed for use in hospitals, clinics, clinics, etc., and is equipped with a computer, a display device, etc. In addition, the manufacturing and sales costs of the device are expensive.

Furthermore, since its use requires specialized knowledge and skill, it must be used by a doctor.

In view of such a point, the present invention is a completely different viewpoint from the above-mentioned expensive and complicated apparatus having high performance,
Developed on request, the whole structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is very low, and it is easy to carry it while wearing it, and it can be used by general consumers themselves as well as specialists. It is an object to provide a device for use.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and the action mechanism in the body related to various diseases, such as blood flow, endocrine, metabolism, etc., It is based on the phenomenon that it is done by the transmission of signals between the brain and each part of the human body, and in particular, there are a great number of acupuncture points that emerge from other parts of the human body in the ear, and pulse signals are originated from those points. This is done by paying attention to the fact that it can be artificially transmitted to each part of the brain and the human body as described above.

That is, the means for solving the above-mentioned problems of the present invention can act only on a specific acupoint corresponding to a desired disease to be treated among a large number of acupuncture points of the ear protruding from each part of the human body. A pulse generating circuit 4 capable of generating a unique pulse signal having a pulse group having a predetermined waveform and a predetermined number of pulses set in advance at regular intervals.
And a power supply 2 for operating the pulse generating circuit 4 are built in the treatment instrument body 1, and the treatment instrument body 1 is formed so as to be worn on the ear.

(Operation) Then, when the therapeutic device having the above-described configuration is worn on the ear and the pulse generating circuit is activated by the power supply in that state, a pulse group having a predetermined waveform and a predetermined number of pulses is stopped for a certain period of time. Unique pulse signals that are separated by time are generated, and the pulse signals act on specific acupoints of the ear corresponding to the desired disease to be treated, etc., and the pulse signals start from the acupoints of the ear to the brain. It is transmitted, and the transmitted signal is further transmitted from the brain to each part of the human body.

As a result, an action in the body, such as metabolism, endocrine, blood circulation promotion, action on the outer skin and bone, etc., occurs according to the above-mentioned unique pulse signal, and thereby a desired disease to be treated is cured.

(Example) Hereinafter, the Example of this invention is described.

FIG. 1 shows an obesity-eliminating device as an example of the therapeutic device of the present invention, (a) is a front view, and (b) is A of (a).
-A line sectional drawing is shown. Further, FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of a pulse generating circuit, a power source, etc. built in the therapeutic instrument.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes an instrument main body having a circular front shape and formed entirely in an earring shape. Inside the instrument main body 1, as shown in FIG. 2 and a substrate 3 having a pulse generation circuit are built in,
The battery 2 and the substrate 3 are electrically connected.

The battery 2 is a 3V lithium battery (CR1025).
Is used.

In addition, the pulse generation circuit 4 provided on the substrate 3 has a second
As shown in the figure, it has a logic section and an OSC, is connected to the battery 2 (power supply section) and the ANP section, and is configured so that it can be operated by an input from the switch 5. The pulse generation circuit 4 has a waveform as shown in FIG.
Further, as shown in the figure, the number of pulses in one group is 5, and the pulse signals are generated so that the period between the pulse groups is 99 ms.

The obesity-eliminating device 6 having such a configuration
In the case of using, the device 6 is first attached to a predetermined position of the ear as shown in FIG. 3, and when a finger or the like is brought into contact with the predetermined position of the device 6 in that state, the switch 5 is turned on,
The pulse generation circuit 4 operates to generate the above-mentioned unique pulse signal as shown in FIG.

The unique pulse signal thus conditionally set promotes metabolism in the body due to the characteristics of the signal.

Therefore, when such a pulse signal is generated, the signal is received in the body starting from a predetermined acupoint of the ear and is directly transmitted to the brain.

By transmitting such a pulse signal to the brain, the metabolism promoting function of the brain is activated, the metabolism is promoted, and obesity can be prevented.

In addition, in the said Example, although the case where a therapeutic instrument was used for obesity prevention was demonstrated, the use of a therapeutic instrument is not limited to this, It is also applicable to various diseases. That is, since the above-mentioned therapeutic instrument acts on the ear having many acupuncture points, it can be applied to various diseases.

Therefore, the type of pulse signal to be generated is not limited to that in the above embodiment, and the waveform of the pulse signal, the number of pulses in one group, the period between each pulse group, etc. can be arbitrarily set according to the type of disease to be applied. It can be changed.

Further, the shape of the instrument body 1 is not limited to the earring shape of the embodiment, and the design can be freely changed within a range that can be worn on the ear.

Further, the type of power source is not limited to the lithium battery as in the embodiment, and the type of power source is not limited.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, the present invention can act only on a specific acupoint corresponding to a desired disease to be treated among a large number of ear acupuncture points protruding from each part of the human body. Since the pulse generator circuit capable of generating a pulse signal having a unique waveform, the number of pulses, and the like, and the power supply for operating the pulse generator circuit are built in the main body of the therapeutic instrument, It is possible to artificially receive a pulse signal as a kind of signal transmitted to the brain in the body, starting from the site having the most number of acupoints, and therefore, the action mechanism of the human body such as metabolism, endocrine and blood circulation. It is possible to artificially adjust the order, and as a result, by setting the waveform of the pulse signal, the number of pulses, etc. in advance, and by simply attaching the therapeutic device to the ear, Various It came to have a particularly remarkable effect that various diseases can be treated according to the acupoint.

Further, since a pulse signal is generated due to a weak potential difference, side effects are less likely to occur due to use. More importantly, a pulse group consisting of a predetermined waveform and a predetermined number of pulses is present in the pulse signal with a certain interval of rest, so that it is transmitted to the brain or the like starting from the acupoint of the ear. The signal is not continuously transmitted, and therefore, there is an effect that it has a therapeutic effect on various diseases but does not have a bad influence on the brain and the like.

Further, the main body of the therapeutic instrument is formed so that it can be worn on the ear, and since the pulse generating circuit and the power source are built in the main body of the therapeutic instrument, the structure of the entire instrument is very simple. There is an advantage that it can be miniaturized and therefore can be carried while being worn on the ear, and that the carrying is very convenient and can be used anywhere.

Further, as a result of the simple structure and downsizing as described above, the manufacturing cost can be remarkably reduced as compared with the conventional device, and mass production is also possible.

In addition, since a pulse generation circuit capable of generating a preset pulse signal is built in, the user can operate by only touching a predetermined position of the therapeutic instrument main body, for example, as in a conventional device, It does not require any skill or expertise to use.
