Either one of them will be activated.

Sl is a timer pass switch for starting the operation of the timer T8 during the operation of the timer T2, and two contacts S2a and 82b are interlocked, and its operation is the same as that of the switch 8s. Then, when the switch S2 is operated while the electromagnetic valve ■1 or ■2 is operating, and the contact 82a is opened and the contact 8+b is closed at the same time, the timer TI starts operating, and the electromagnetic valve ■8 becomes activated. .

Sg is a timer pass switch for starting the operation of the timer T4 during the operation of the timer Tm, and two contacts 8ma and 8th are interlocked, and its operation is the same as that of the switches 8+ and St. Then, when the contact Ssa is opened and the contact 8sb is closed at the same time, the timer T4 starts operating, and the electromagnetic valves V+ and V

S5 is a pressure reducing switch for reducing the ejection pressure of the bubble group when either the electromagnetic valve 1 or v2 is activated and the bubble group is being ejected from the foamer 4 or 5; When operated, the electromagnetic valve (4) is actuated and opened, and the discharge pipe (16) and the suction pipe (15) are communicated with each other, thereby reducing the ejection pressure of the group of bubbles ejected from the foamer (4) or (5).

S6 is a pressure reducing switch for reducing the ejection pressure of the bubbles ejected from the foamers 4 to 1 during the entire operating process of this bubble vibrating medical device 1, and its operation causes the electromagnetic valve 4 to operate and open. In the same manner as described above, the ejection pressure of the bubble group is reduced.

S7 is a changeover switch for selecting which of the electromagnetic valves (1) and (2) to operate while the timer T2 is operating, and its operation causes the two switches 8ya and
, 8yb are interlocked, both switches 8ya, 8yb
When each is located on the contact X side, the solenoid valve ■2
is activated, and both switches S7a.

When Syb is located on the contact Y side, electromagnetic valve (1) is operated.

Next, the operation of the vibrating bubble medical device 1 configured as described above will be explained.

Now, when the bathtub 2 is filled with hot water and the patient is seated on the step inside the bathtub 2, the main switch S9 and the start switch S8 are operated to close the circuits.
, R2Oi are in a closed state, so the electromagnetic relay R1 is energized and contacts R+o+.

l1l (both 12 are closed and the motor M of the pump 14
Power is supplied to the control circuit and the control circuit. Then, contact Tic
.

Since Sea and R2O are in a closed circuit state, electromagnetic) < Rub V+.

(2) Operation is opened, and timer TI starts its operation. Therefore, main switch S9, start switch S
When 8 is closed, bubbles are ejected from the foamer 4.5,
The patient's lower back and knees are treated with the bubbles.

In this state, when the timer T1 times up, the contact Tic is opened and the contact T+o is closed. Now, assuming that the selector switch S7 is operated to the hot contact X side, the contact T+.

is closed and contacts TIC and S2a are in the closed state, so electromagnetic relay R2 is energized and its contact R
Since 2o2 is closed, only electromagnetic knob 2 is activated and opened. Also, due to the closing of contact Too, timer T2
starts operating. Therefore, when the timer T+ times up, a group of bubbles is ejected only from the foamer 5, and the patient's knee area is continuously treated with the group of bubbles.

When the timer 12 times up, its contact Tz
c is opened and contact T! 0 is closed.

Then, the timer Ti starts operating, and the electromagnetic relay loss is deenergized and the electromagnetic knob 2 is closed. Since the contacts Tsc and 8sa are in the closed state, the electromagnetic valve 8 is activated and opened.

Therefore, when the timer T2 times up, the foamer 5
At the same time as the bubbles from the foamer 6.7 are stopped, bubbles are ejected from the foamer 6.7, and the patient's calf is treated with the bubbles.

When the timer TI times up, the contact TIC is opened and the contact Tso is closed. Then,
When the timer T4 starts operating, the solenoid valve V

When timer T4 times up, contact Tac is opened and electromagnetic relay R+ is de-energized.

Then, both contacts R+o+ and R+oi are opened, and the supply of power to the motor M and the control circuit is cut off.

Finally, when the timer T4 times up, the foamer 4
, 5 are stopped, and the treatment process of this bubble vibrating medical device is completed.

On the other hand, when both changeover switches S7 are operated to the contact point Y side, the electromagnetic valve (1) is activated and opened when the timer (2) is activated in the treatment process. Therefore, at this time, bubbles are ejected from the foamer 4, and the patient's lower back is treated with the bubbles. Furthermore, if the pressure reducing switch S6 is closed when the bubble vibrating medical device 1 is started, the solenoid valve 4 is activated and opened when the timer T2 is activated, and the suction pipe 15 and the discharge pipe 16 are communicated with each other, and the pump 14 discharges the air. Since a part of the heated water is returned to the suction pipe 15, the ejection pressure of the bubbles ejected from the foamer 4 or 5 can be reduced. Similarly, if the pressure reducing switch S6 is closed, the solenoid valve is always activated when the timers T1 to T4 are activated.
4 is activated and opened, the ejection pressure of the bubbles ejected from the foamers 4 to 7 can be reduced. Furthermore, a manual valve Vm is connected in series to this solenoid valve 4, so when the solenoid valve 4 is open, by adjusting this manual valve m, the ejection pressure of the bubble group can be adjusted appropriately. can be adjusted to

In addition, when the timer manifold TI is activated, if the timer pass switch Sl is operated at any time to open the contact Sla and close the contact 8+b, the timer T1
The patient can proceed to the next treatment course regardless of whether or not there is time remaining. Then, when the timers T2 and Ts are activated, the timer pass switch 82,
811 respectively, the timers Tz and T
It is possible to proceed to the next treatment process regardless of whether or not there is a remaining time of s, and if the timer pass switch S4 is closed when the timer T4 is activated, the treatment process can be ended at that point.

As described above, when the main switch S9 and the start switch S8 are operated, the ultrasonic bubble vibrating medical device 1 ejects a group of bubbles from the foamer 4.5 to the step part 3 in the bathtub 2.
The first step is to treat the lower back and knee areas of a patient who is sitting on a chair.
a second step of ejecting a group of bubbles from the foamer 4 or 5 to treat the patient's lower back or knee region; and a second step of ejecting a group of bubbles from the foamer 6.1 to treat the patient's calf region. The treatment process consisting of the eighth step and the fourth step of ejecting a group of bubbles from the foamer 4.5 to treat the patient's lower back and knee area again can be operated automatically, and each step The time is from 10 on the operation dial.
13 can be set arbitrarily. Then, the ejection pressure of the bubble group at each step is determined by the pressure reducing switch Ss, 8s.
and a manual valve Vm, and the time of each step set by the operation dials 10 to 13 can be adjusted by operating the timer pass switch 8+-84 while the bubble vibrating medical device 1 is in operation. It can be changed arbitrarily within the specified time range.
