Description

[Detailed description of the invention] 〔Technical field〕 The present invention relates to a blood circulation promoting unit.

[Background technology]

For stiff shoulders, bruises, etc., applying an electromagnetic field to the affected area to promote blood circulation is effective for recovery. However, since this type of blood circulation promoting device is generally large, it is difficult to carry it around in daily life or playing sports.

Recently, various blood circulation promoting units have been proposed that combine a battery, an oscillation circuit, and an electromagnetic field applying means (antenna) into one compact device. In this unit, an oscillation circuit and a modulation circuit are generally combined into one IC component and fixed so as to protrude from a printed circuit board.

However, in conventional units, the battery is provided so as to overlap the IC component, or is provided so as to be adjacent to the IC component.

Therefore, it was not possible to make the unit thinner and more compact, and it was also weak in terms of strength.

[Purpose of the invention]

In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a blood circulation promoting unit that can be made thinner and more compact, and also has increased strength.

[Disclosure of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the blood circulation promotion unit according to the present invention includes an IC component having an oscillation circuit and a modulation circuit, an electromagnetic field applying means electrically connected to the IC component,
and a blood circulation promoting unit which is provided with a power supply electrically connected to the IC component and is formed as one unit, wherein the power supply has a donut shape with a through hole, and the IC component is connected to the IC component. It is characterized by being located within the through hole.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a cross section of an embodiment of the blood circulation promoting unit according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows an exploded view of the same. As shown in these figures, the blood circulation promotion unit includes an IC component 4, an antenna (electromagnetic field applying means) 8, and a battery 2 serving as a power source.

The IC component 4 includes an oscillation circuit 5 and a modulation circuit 6, as shown in FIG. The IC component 4 is fixed to the center of the upper surface of the disk-shaped printed circuit board 1. On the upper surface of the printed circuit board 1, a + (or -) electrode 7 is provided as an arc-shaped surface pattern that surrounds the IC component 4 and is partially open. The electrode 7 is electrically connected to the IC component 4 and is in contact with the + (or -) pole 11 of the battery 2 .

Also, on the upper surface of the printed circuit board 1, an antenna 8 electrically connected to the IC component 4 is drawn and fixed in a coil-like pattern outside the electrodes 7. antenna 8
The intersections are vertically separated by an insulator. −(
The (or +) electrode 9 is electrically connected to the IC component 4 and is in contact with the - (or +) pole 12 of the battery 2 . A portion 10 between the connection portion with the IC component 4 and the electrode 9 is coated with an insulating coating.

The battery 2 has a flat donut shape (perforated) with a through hole 13 in the center. This battery 2 has an electrode 11 on one donut-shaped side and a pole 12 on the other donut-shaped side.

The battery 2 is placed on the upper surface of the printed circuit board 1, and the IC component 4 is inserted into the through hole 13 of the printed circuit board 1. A unit cover 3 made of a stretchable material such as a rubber material covers the IC component 4 and is placed over the battery 2 and the printed circuit board 1 with a lip 3a over the printed circuit board 1. By covering the unit cover 3, the printed circuit board 1
, the battery 2 and the electrode 9 are integrated into one unit. The outer periphery of the battery 2 is adapted to fit the entire inner periphery of the unit cover 3.

The unit cover 3 is removable,
When the battery 2 is exhausted, the battery 2 can be replaced.

In this embodiment, the unit cover 3 has a cross-shaped groove 3c formed on the mounting surface 3b, which is the side surface thereof, and the unit is attached to the body by a silicone adhesive or the like applied to the mounting surface 3b. When this happens, the ordered amount is led out through the groove 3c in the direction of its outer diameter.

Note that FIG. 4(a) shows the output waveform from the oscillation circuit 5 to the antenna 8. This output waveform is a burst waveform consisting of T1 during oscillation and T2 during rest. FIG. 4(b) shows the oscillation waveform (high frequency waveform). By guiding this waveform to the antenna 8, an electromagnetic field is generated.

This electromagnetic field provides a blood circulation promoting effect.

The blood circulation promoting unit is, for example, pad-shaped,
As shown in FIG. 5, adhesive is applied to the mounting surface 3b so that the device can be mounted on the affected part of the body.

Here, since the battery 2 is donut-shaped and the IC component 4 is arranged in a corresponding manner in the through hole 13, the entire unit becomes thin and compact, and the battery 2 itself has a casing. It also has the advantage of being stronger. Further, the IC component 4 is protected by the battery 2.

If the grooves 3c are provided on the mounting surface of the blood circulation promotion unit as in the above embodiment, sweat is led out to the outside and air permeability is improved, thereby preventing skin irritation. When the blood circulation promoting unit is attached using an adhesive paste such as silicone adhesive, peeling of the unit can also be prevented.

In addition, in FIGS. 6 and 7(a) and (b), the blood circulation promoting unit is not adhesive paste but adhesive tape 15.
This is an example of a type that is worn on the body. This blood circulation promotion unit 31 has a protruding ring portion (flange step) 1 on one side (opposite the mounting surface) that is the front side of the unit.
6 is formed, and has a step on one side which is the front side of the unit 31. Therefore, when the adhesive tape 15 is pasted on the front side, a gap 17 is created between the adhesive tape 15 and the unit 31, making it easier to peel off the adhesive tape 15 from the blood circulation promoting unit 31.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show an example of a case stand that can accommodate a blood circulation promoting unit and an adhesive tape, and is easy to use because it can be taken out immediately for use. In this case stand, a rectangular cylindrical blood circulation promoting unit housing portion 20 that can house the blood circulation promoting unit is integrally provided on the upper side of the seat plate 18 and protrudes. On one side of the blood circulation promotion unit storage section 20, an adhesive tape roll 19 is placed.
A tape fitting boss 22 is provided in a protruding manner to which a tape fitting boss 22 is detachably attached. By fitting the adhesive tape roll 19 into the tape fitting boss 22, the adhesive tape roll 19 can be stored and attached to the case stand of the blood circulation promotion unit, and the adhesive tape roll 19 can be inserted into the case stand of the blood circulation promotion unit. No need to search.

The seat plate 18 is located on one side (
The first seat portion 18 protrudes toward the side where the tape winding boss 22 is located.
a, and a second seat portion 18b that protrudes to the other side of the blood circulation promotion unit storage section 20. Preferably, a tape cutter 21 is integrally formed in a sawtooth shape at one end of the first seat portion 18a. By cutting and using the tape cutter 21 attached to the case stand, you can quickly attach the blood circulation promotion unit.
The second seat portion 18b is preferably folded onto the back surface of the seat plate 18 via the bending portion 18C so that the second seat portion 18b can be stored compactly when being carried.

This bending portion 18c has flexibility by using a material with good flexibility such as polypropylene and making the wall thickness thin. When carrying the case stand in a bag or the like, if the second seat portion 18b is folded as described above, the number of protrusions is reduced, making it easier to store.

This invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The electromagnetic field applying means does not need to be a generating coil. There is no need for means for electrically connecting the IC component, the battery, and the electromagnetic field applying means to be provided on the printed circuit board. The means for integrating the IC component, the battery, and the electromagnetic field applying means into one unit does not need to be a unit cover.
