Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention combines an airtight bag and an elastic member filled with a fluid such as air, and creates an airtight bag while supplying and exhausting compressed air into the airtight bag. This invention relates to an air musculosurgery device that achieves a musculosurgery effect by bringing an elastic member provided on one side of the body into direct contact with an affected area.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, an airtight bag made of flexible material such as rubber is wrapped around a part of the body, such as a hand or foot, and compressed air is pumped into and out of the bag to compress and release blood vessels in the affected area. It has been proposed to promote the circulation of blood (mainly venous blood and lymph), thereby producing a pine surge effect.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in this type of conventional air pine surge device, when the bag is filled with air, the bag expands into a cylindrical shape, and as a result, the expansion protrusion of the bag acts locally on the affected area. Since the pressure in this area is intensively increased, it not only causes local irritation and discomfort, but also makes it difficult to evenly apply the airtight bag to the entire affected area, making it difficult to obtain a sufficient pine surge effect. There is a drawback that it cannot be done.

In addition, as conventional treatment devices, devices using various elastic members have been proposed for the purpose of obtaining acupressure effects or acupuncture effects, but each device is designed for the purpose of locally treating a predetermined part of the body. However, it was not versatile, and it was extremely difficult to obtain the pine surge effect of improving the flow of blood and lymph fluid.

In particular, with conventional air pine surgers, in order to apply strong enough pressure to the affected area, it is necessary to fill the airtight bag with a very large amount of air, which reduces the capacity of the compressor that supplies compressed air. However, there were problems such as increased size and increased equipment costs.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to combine an elastic member whose elasticity is variably set by being filled with air to make contact with the affected area, and an airtight bag body for supplying and discharging compressed air. To provide an air pine surgery device capable of applying uniform pine surgery to a wide range of affected areas.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, a plurality of air-filled airtight bags each having an air supply/exhaust port are arranged in parallel, and each of these air-filled airtight bags is inflated and deflated with a predetermined time displacement. The airtight bag is configured to move sequentially and be displaced in a wave motion, and is configured to be wrapped around a part of the body, and each of the airtight bags has a large number of protrusions and grooves on one side that comes into contact with the body. The present invention is characterized in that an elastic member made of an air-filled bag is attached, and an air supply port is provided to adjustably set the amount of air filled in a part of the elastic member.

Furthermore, the pine surge effect can be enhanced by filling the inside of the elastic member with a heating or cooling fluid or by providing a heating or cooling element inside the elastic member.

[Effect]

According to the pneumatic pine surge device of the present invention, an elastic member filled with a fluid such as air that comes into contact with the affected area and directly performs a pine surge effect, and an airtight bag body that expands and contracts by supplying and exhausting compressed air are provided. , by combining an elastic member on one side of the airtight bag by means such as bonding, and wrapping this around the affected area,
The elastic member evenly presses against the affected area, and the air is supplied to and exhausted from the airtight bag body to even out the pine surge effect on the affected area, thereby achieving a pleasant pine surge effect.

Furthermore, by configuring as described above, the total volume of the airtight bag can be reduced, so the amount of air supply and exhaust can also be reduced, and the size of the incidental equipment can be reduced.

On the other hand, the elastic contact member is preferably an internally hollow elastic structure having an uneven surface on the contact surface of the affected area. For example, an airtight bag is formed and the bag is filled with air in an adjustable manner to adjust the elasticity.
It is possible to provide the surface with irregularities, and to fill the interior with liquid such as water, a sol-gel type heating or cooling material, or a granular fluid.

〔Example〕

Next, embodiments of the pneumatic pine surge device according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a plurality of flat airtight bags made of airtight material, which are part of an embodiment of the device of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 and 3 show the airtight bags shown in FIG. 1. This is an elastic member used in combination with the airtight bag, and is shown joined to one side of a single airtight bag. However, as shown in FIG. 1, the device of the present invention first includes a plurality of flat airtight bags 10a, which are made of an airtight material.
10b, 10c... are installed in parallel. Each bag 10a,
10b, 10c... are each provided with an air supply/exhaust port, and an air conduit 14 is led out from each air supply/exhaust port. Although not shown, these air conduits 14 are connected to an air source via a switching valve mechanism as control means for the device of the present invention, and compressed air is supplied from the air source into each bag body under the action of the switching valve mechanism. The structure is such that air is supplied sequentially and exhausted to the outside from each bag body. That is, the adjacent airtight bag bodies 10
A, 10b, 10c, .

A plurality of air-filled airtight bags 1 configured in this way
0a, 10b, 10c, . . . , an elastic member 16 constituted by an air-filled bag is attached to one side of the members 0a, 10b, 10c, . . . as shown by chain lines in FIG. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, this elastic member 16 is connected to the airtight bag body 10.
(In this case, a single airtight bag body is shown) An air supply port 20 is provided, and the elasticity can be variably set by appropriately adjusting the amount of air inside.
The elastic member 16, whose elasticity has been set to the required elasticity in this way, seals the air supply port 20 with an appropriate sealing member. Further, the outer surface of the elastic member 16 forms one side surface for contacting the affected area. Therefore, on one side of the elastic member 16,
For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, an uneven portion 18 consisting of protrusions and grooves is formed to increase the pine surge effect. In the device of the present invention, it goes without saying that the elastic member 16 can be configured as a single elastic member for each of the plurality of airtight bags 10a, 10b, 10c, . . . arranged in parallel.

As shown in FIG. 4, for example, the pine surge device configured as described above is constructed by wrapping and fixing the elastic member 16 around the affected area with the elastic member 16 on the inside, and each airtight bag body 10a, 1
By supplying and discharging 0b, 10c, . . . , a uniform pine surge can be applied to the entire affected area around which the elastic member 16 is wrapped.

Furthermore, according to the device of the present invention,
Since each bag body 10a, 10b, 10c, etc. only needs to generate air pressure displacement, the overall volume can be reduced to the minimum limit, so the amount of air used is also extremely small, and as a result, the accompanying air supply A small device with a small capacity, such as an air compressor, can be used.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, when a plurality of airtight bags 10a, 10b, 10c, .
It is possible to provide a storage bag 24 having a plurality of storage parts 22 for accommodating..., and to join the elastic member 16 to this storage bag 24. This makes it easy to attach and detach the airtight bags 10a, 10b, 10c, etc., and is convenient for handling.

Furthermore, the burden on the body surface can be reduced by filling the elastic member 16 configured as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 with fluid heating or cooling material such as hot or cold water. It makes it lighter and disperses pressure points, and at the same time, the warming and cooling effect works to improve the pine surge effect. Furthermore, the same effect can be obtained by arranging the heating element inside the elastic member instead of adding hot water.

Furthermore, in the device of the present invention, the elastic member 16

In addition, in the device of the present invention, by setting the air volume of the elastic member to be adjustable and deforming the pattern of the protrusions, the elastic force or concentrated pressure on the skin can be varied, making it possible to customize the elastic force or concentrated pressure to the skin. It is possible to perform pine surge (fine adjustment of pine surge pressure).

[Effect of idea]

In particular, according to the pneumatic pine surge device of the present invention, when a plurality of airtight bags arranged side by side is wrapped around a part of the body and these airtight bags are sequentially inflated and deflated, the body On the surface, the pressure generated by the expansion of the airtight bag acts as multi-point pressure that is evenly distributed due to the action of the air-filled bag, which has many protrusions, so it does not damage microscopic capillaries under the skin or disrupt blood flow. It is possible to prevent adverse effects on the body that are contrary to the pine surge effect, such as suspension or damage to blood vessels. In addition, in this case, the plurality of airtight bags cause peristaltic movement in the part of the body around which they are wrapped due to their expansion and contraction, but as mentioned above, there are many protrusions on the contact surface with the body. This acts as a stopper, prevents it from falling off the body, and provides a comfortable fit. At this time, the protrusion pressure can be adjusted to a desired pressure by adjusting the amount of air, so it can also be used by children, the elderly, and other sick people. Furthermore, the plurality of airtight bags can be wrapped around the arms and legs of the body and can be expanded and contracted in a undulating manner in the centripetal direction from the peripheral part to the heart, thereby increasing blood flow. It can promote circulation and achieve remarkable pine surge effect.

The device of the present invention has a simple structure, can be manufactured at low cost, and reduces incidental equipment costs, so it has the advantage that it can be easily used not only for treatment by professionals but also for a wide range of household purposes. has.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it goes without saying that various improvements and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
