[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A high-frequency treatment device and a low-frequency treatment device are provided as treatment devices for loosening "stiffness" of a shoulder or the like. The former is to generate a high-frequency magnetic field by flowing a high-frequency current through the antenna unit to cause the magnetic field to act on the human body, and the latter to transmit a low-frequency current pulse to the human body through an electrode unit that contacts the human body.

[0003] An antenna unit connected to a high-frequency current generating circuit and an electrode unit connected to a low-frequency current generating circuit are provided on a body to be attached to a human body to perform both high-frequency magnetic treatment and low-frequency treatment. In recent years, a high-frequency and low-frequency therapeutic device that can be used has been proposed.

[0004]

However, in the conventional high-frequency and low-frequency therapeutic device, the antenna unit and the electrode unit are individually provided on the surface of the body which is to be attached to the human body. The size has increased and it is difficult to reduce costs. The present invention has been made in view of such a point, and the object thereof is to be able to perform both high-frequency magnetic treatment and low-frequency treatment, yet to be compact and to reduce cost. To provide a high-frequency low-frequency treatment device that can be used.

[0005]

According to the present invention, a high-frequency magnetic therapy antenna connected to a high-frequency current generating circuit is connected to a low-frequency current generating circuit to provide an electrical connection with a living body. It is characterized in that it also serves as an electrode part for frequency treatment. Since the antenna part for high-frequency magnetic treatment also serves as the electrode part for low-frequency treatment, there is no need to provide another electrode part in addition to the antenna part.

A low frequency for low frequency treatment and a high frequency for high frequency magnetic treatment may be selectively supplied to the antenna unit, or a low frequency for low frequency treatment and a high frequency for high frequency magnetic treatment may be supplied. You may make it supply simultaneously.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described. In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a flexible soft base 10 and a base 11 fixed on the soft base 10. A battery (secondary battery) 14 as a power source, a high-frequency current generation circuit, a low-frequency current generation circuit, and a control unit are provided in a space surrounded by the cover 12 and the base 11. And the like, and a circuit board 15 and a switch 16 mounted thereon. The switch 16 is operated by pushing a movable portion 17 integrally formed at the center of the upper surface of the cover 12. In the figure, reference numeral 18 denotes a display sticker attached to the upper surface of the cover 12.

On the other hand, on the lower surface of the soft base 10, two antenna portions 2, 2 and terminals 20, 21 connected to both ends of each of the antenna portions 2, 2 are arranged so as to be exposed.
These terminals 20 and 21 are electrically connected to the circuit board 15 through a plurality of caulking terminals 19 which also serve to connect and fix the base 11 and the soft base 10. The high-frequency and low-frequency therapeutic device configured as described above has a soft base 10.
Is attached to the human body via an adhesive mounting pad 3 attached to the lower surface of the body. The mounting pad 3 has conductivity, and an insulating portion is provided between a portion in contact with one antenna portion 2 and its terminals 20 and 21 and a portion in contact with the other antenna portion 2 and its terminals 20 and 21. 30
Is provided.

FIG. 1 shows a block circuit diagram. Circuit board 1
5 includes the control unit 40 and the high-frequency current generation circuit 4 as described above.
1 and a low-frequency current generation circuit 42, a timer circuit 43 for limiting the operation time of the low-frequency treatment mode, and the like are also mounted. The low frequency current generation circuit 42 is connected to both the antenna units 2 and 2.

When the high-frequency current generating circuit 41 is operated,
A high-frequency current is supplied to each of the antenna sections 2 to generate a high-frequency magnetic field. When the low-frequency current generating circuit 42 is operated, a low-frequency voltage is applied between the antenna portions 2 and 2. When the soft base 10 is attached to the human body by the mounting pad 3, A low-frequency current flows from the antenna unit 2 to the human body through the mounting pad 3. Since the mounting pad 3 includes the insulating portion 30 as described above, there is no short circuit between the two antenna portions 2. Further, since the mounting pad 3 has a frequency characteristic such that a low-frequency signal flows easily and a high-frequency signal hardly flows, the antenna unit 2
There is no short circuit between the terminals 20 and 21 and the antenna section 2 when a high-frequency current flows through the antenna section 2.

When the high-frequency current and the low-frequency current are supplied exclusively to the antenna section 2, an electronic switch for short-circuiting the terminals 20 and 21 is provided, and the low-frequency current is supplied. It is preferable that the terminals 20 and 21 be short-circuited at the time of supply. A high-frequency current and a low-frequency current may be supplied to the antenna unit 2 at the same time. FIG. 4 shows a circuit diagram in this case. 9 is a living body in the figure.

An operation in a high-frequency magnetic therapy mode in which a high-frequency current is supplied to the antenna section 2 and a low-frequency therapy mode in which a low-frequency current flows through the human body through the antenna section 2 (simultaneous operation mode of high-frequency magnetic therapy and low-frequency therapy) The switching is performed by pressing the movable part 17 and operating the switch 16. If the high-frequency low-frequency treatment device is removed from the charger for charging the battery (secondary battery) 14, the high-frequency magnetic treatment mode is set. To operate with switch 1
If the low-frequency treatment mode is activated after the operation of the device 6, the switch for activating the high-frequency magnetic treatment mode becomes unnecessary, and at the same time, the operation time is reduced. Since the operation of starting the operation in the high-frequency magnetic therapy mode by removing the battery from the charger is already known, it is omitted here.

As shown in FIG. 5, a voltage is constantly applied to the antenna units 2 and 2, and a weak current flowing when the antenna unit 2 is worn on the living body 9 is detected by the human body detection circuit 44 to start the high-frequency magnetic therapy mode. You may do so. The high-frequency magnetic treatment and the low-frequency treatment may be automatically switched at a preset timing. FIG. 6 shows an example in which a memory unit 45 for storing the switching timing and the treatment operation time in this case is provided. The switching timing and the treatment operation time stored in the memory unit 45 may be programmable by an external operation. FIG. 7 shows an apparatus provided with an external operation device 5 for this purpose.

The memory section 45 can be accessed by electromechanical connection or electromagnetic induction connection using a plug jack.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, the high-frequency magnetic therapy antenna unit connected to the high-frequency current generating circuit is connected to the low-frequency current generating circuit so as to be electrically connected to the living body. Since the electrode also serves as a therapeutic electrode, there is no need to provide a separate electrode in addition to the antenna, and therefore, the size can be reduced.
In addition, cost can be reduced.

In the apparatus which selectively supplies a low frequency for low frequency treatment and a high frequency for high frequency magnetic treatment to the antenna unit, it is possible to switch between high frequency magnetic treatment and low frequency treatment and perform the switching between the high frequency magnetic treatment and the low frequency treatment. In the case of supplying the low frequency for the low frequency treatment and the high frequency for the high frequency magnetic treatment at the same time, the high frequency magnetic treatment and the low frequency treatment can be performed simultaneously.
