Description

Blood level identification and diagnosis / treatment device

The present invention relates to a constitution diagnosis / treatment apparatus using electrical characteristics of acupuncture points, and more particularly, to an apparatus for objectively diagnosing and treating an object at the identified blood level by identifying an accurate blood level through a square wave stimulation current.

Electronic acupuncture and East-West medicine-related diagnostic treatment devices diagnose and treat various diseases using the electrical characteristics of acupuncture points in the human meridians. In other words, when a cell with electric energy inside the human body changes according to the human state, the current flows in the part different from the normal cell. Therefore, by applying a weak DC voltage between one acupuncture point in the human meridians and one reference hand, electricity flows through the meridians, and various diseases are diagnosed by measuring a response to the stimulus. Therefore, identifying the blood level should be preceded in using such a device. In the identification of blood levels, there are conventional methods based on expert clinical experience and methods using low resistance high conductivity of acupuncture points to current. The latter method is the most common. This is because the non-acupuncture points have a lower resistance transferability than the acupuncture points, so that the current flows between the two terminals under a constant DC voltage between the common electrode held in the foot or hand and the acupuncture points. It is determined by blood level. This is shown in FIG.

1 is a block diagram of a conventional blood position identification and diagnosis / treatment device. As shown, the measurer selects one of the blood level identification mode and the treatment mode for finding acupuncture points through the mode switch 11 mounted on the main body of the device. When the measurer selects the blood level identification mode through the mode switch 11, the DC generator 12 generates a constant DC current. This DC current is supplied to the metal electrode 16 to flow through the human meridians. At this time, the current sensor 13 detects the DC current generated between the DC generator 12 and the human body and displays it on the display 17 of the ammeter. The metal electrode 16 measures the current flowing through the meridians in the human body and displays the current on the indicator 17 so that a measurement person can know. Acupuncture points have low resistance to current, so current flows well at acupuncture points and little current flows at acupuncture points. Thus, the measurer identifies the point at which the current value displayed on the indicator 17 is maximized by the blood level. On the other hand, when the measurer selects the treatment mode through the mode switch 11, the frequency controller 14 controls the frequency generator 14 to generate a suitable treatment frequency according to the type of the subject's constitution and disease. This treatment frequency is applied to the blood level of the human body previously identified through the metal electrode 16 so that the treatment is performed.

As such, in the related art, since the stimulation current for identifying the blood level is a constant DC current or a pulse wave of high voltage, the stimulation current is continuously applied to the human body to affect or damage the cells at 1.36 volts or more. This is the electrophysiology and electrochemical characteristics of living body and acupuncture points. Considering that human tissue is basically composed of organic binding of cells, human body's immunity to external stimulus that prevent counter electromotive force or equilibrium of cell membrane potential due to polarization of cell membrane potential It can be interpreted as the expression of a function. Therefore, this attenuation phenomenon is undesirable both in terms of the measurement effect and in both aspects of human metabolism.

In addition, since the contact resistance between the electrode and the skin interferes with the flow of current in measuring the electrical signal of the human meridians, such a metal electrode can obtain an identification current value only when a pressure of 100 to 600 g is applied. At this time, there is a large difference in the current value according to the skin condition of the patient, the pressing pressure of the electrode, the skill. This is a disadvantage in that it takes a lot of time and decreases the reliability when measuring the reliability of blood level.

In addition, the constitution that can improve individual treatment efficiency for the same disease should be identified by the objective criteria of individual constitution, but keep the patient's finger in O type and apply a certain stimulus and open it with the finger of doctor or measurer The condition of the body is judged based on the O-ring test, body shape, and bone shape, which determine the physical characteristics of the subject according to the type of stimulus. This has the disadvantage of low objectivity or reliability of diagnosis results.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to identify the exact blood level through a square wave stimulation current of 1.25 volts instead of a constant DC current or a high voltage pulse wave, and to identify and treat the constitution and type of disease in the blood level, thereby identifying and diagnosing and treating the blood. In providing a device.

It is also an object of the present invention to reduce the stimulation pressure by using a composite electrode of a metal and non-metal composite electrode having a lower contact resistance than a metal electrode, while flowing a desired current to obtain a significant identification current value, and the diagnosis and treatment device In providing.

It is also an object of the present invention to measure the state of change of acupuncture points for each stimulus by using the predominant direction of electric current flowing in the meridians and electric stimulation and photostimulation electrodes. The present invention provides a diagnosis / treatment device.

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

2 is a block diagram of a blood position identification and diagnosis / treatment apparatus according to the present invention. As shown, the measurer selects one of the blood level identification mode and the treatment mode for finding acupuncture points through the mode switch 21 attached to the main body of the device. The mode information selected by the mode switch 21 is input to the microprocessor 22. The microprocessor 22 drives the stimulation pattern generator 25 when the input mode information is blood level identification mode. At this time, the constant voltage generator 23 generates a constant voltage. Here, the constant voltage generator 23 anatomically and physiologically generates a voltage below 1.36 [V] because the hydrogen atom of the cell ionizes and affects the human body at 1.36 [V] or higher. The constant voltage generator 23 generates a voltage of 1.25 [V]. The stimulation pattern generator 25 generates a stimulation pattern of a square wave as shown in FIG. 3B in order to minimize the stimulation current in the blood phase identification mode. This is because the stimulation current is not directly applied to the human body by using a direct current as shown in FIG. 3A, and is alternately applied by a square wave so that the human body is not continuously affected. This has the advantage of minimizing the effect of the stimulating current on blood level identification on the health and pathology of the subject. The stimulation current generator 26 generates a current due to the voltage of 1.25 [V] generated by the constant voltage generator 23 in accordance with the square wave stimulation pattern generated by the stimulation pattern generator 25. The stimulation current generator 26 will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a detailed view illustrating the stimulation current generator 26 of FIG. 2. As shown, the stimulation current generator 26 receives a voltage of 1.25 [V] generated by the constant voltage generator 23 through the ammeter 24 and the two opposite channels CH1 generated by the stimulation pattern generator 25. Square wave stimulation pattern of CH2) is inputted. In the analog switches 261 and 263, the magnetic pole pattern of the channel CH 1 is conducted at the high level, and in the analog switches 261 and 264, the magnetic pole pattern of the channel CH 2 is conducted at the high potential level. Since the magnetic pole pattern of the channel CH 1 is at the high potential level, only the analog switches 261 and 263 are turned on because the magnetic pole pattern of the channel CH 2 is at the low potential level. When the analog switch 261 is conducting, the channel CH1 current is output in a positive state by a voltage of 1.25 [V]. When the analog switch 263 is conducting, the channel CH2 current is grounded. GND) is output in a negative state. On the contrary, only the analog switches 262 and 264 are conducted because the magnetic pole pattern of the channel CH 1 becomes the high potential level at the low potential level. When the analog switch 262 is turned on, the channel CH1 current is output as negative by ground GND. When the analog switch 264 is turned on, the channel CH2 current is 1.25 [V]. It is output in a positive state by the voltage of. Here, a square wave of an AC component is output to a single power supply without switching transformers or ± polarity positive power supplies in alternating current polarity between two channels CH1 and CH2. Channel CH1 current is supplied to the identification / treatment electrode and channel CH2 current is supplied to the common / measuring electrode.

Returning to Fig. 2, the stimulation current generator 26 generates a square wave stimulation current of 10 to 15 mA in a 150 Hz cycle. This square wave stimulation current is supplied to the electrode 28 through the multiplexer 27. At this time, the ammeter 24 displays a current value applied to the human body. In the electrode 28, the probe and the stimulation electrode 281 measures the current flowing through the meridians inside the human body by applying the supplied square wave stimulation current while pressing the human body at a constant pressure. The current value measured by the probe and magnetic pole electrode 281 is displayed on the ammeter 24 in the main body of the device and on the indicator 283. Therefore, even if the measurer does not check the ammeter 24 on the main body, it is possible to identify the point where the current value displayed on the display 283 is the maximum, and identify the blood level. The measurer can switch to the treatment mode through the data storage and treatment switch 282 of the electrode 28, and can select the treatment mode through the mode switch 21 on the main body.

On the other hand, in the electrode 28, since the square wave stimulation current shown in Fig. 3b is drawn in and out of 15 A in acupuncture points, the electrode 28 is separated to display a draw current and a draw current so that the measurer can identify the direction of the acupuncture points. According to the type of disease and stimulating acupuncture points or the location or time of stimulating acupuncture points, the current flowing in the meridians shows a slight dominant direction like semiconductors, so it is used as a parameter for constitutional identification and diagnosis. Can be diagnosed.

Referring to FIG. 4, the dominant current direction identifier 35 transmits the current flowing to the bidirectional AC components of the identification / treatment electrode and the common / measurement electrode through four diodes, similar to the Wheatstone bridge circuit. Measure the magnitude by converting it to voltage. The dominant current direction identifier 35 passes the channel CH1 current through the ammeter 351, the resistor R1, and the forward diode D1 in order to output the current to the identification / treatment electrode. Then, using the menstrual blood and meridians of the human body as a load, the current output from the identification / treatment electrode flows through the load to the common / measuring electrode. This current is again connected to the channel CH2 current through the reverse diode D4 connected to the common / measurement electrode in the dominant current direction identifier 35. Meanwhile, the dominant current direction identifier 35 passes the channel CH 2 current through the ammeter 352, the resistor R 2, and the forward diode D 3, and outputs the current to the common / measuring electrode. This current is passed through the acupuncture points and meridians of the human body and returned to the counter electrode identification / treatment electrode, and is connected to the channel CH1 current through the reverse diode D2. Here, the resistance R1 and the channel CH2 side of the channel CH1 side when the meridian resistance as a load is not a constant resistance irrespective of the direction as in the conducting wire but slightly lower or higher in one direction as the semiconductor. The resistance (R2) of both ends of the voltage is proportional to the current and the resistance. The amplifiers 353 and 354 respectively amplify the voltage across the corresponding resistors R1 and R2 and output their magnitudes to the indicator 283 in the electrode 28 to display the absolute value of the energy flow in each direction. The dominant current direction identifier 35 also compares the outputs of the amplifiers 353 and 354 via the comparators 355 and 356 to identify the minute differences and displays them on the comparison indicator 283 to determine the state of the energy flow, i. Inform the meter of the active direction and balance. At this time, the measurer stores the measured data on the metabolic state of the human energy at the identified blood level through the data storage and treatment switch 282 attached to the electrode 28 and outputs it to the main body. Here, the current value of the identified blood level obtained through the detection and stimulation electrode 281 and the dominant current direction, that is, the human energy metabolic state, are input to the current / voltage converter 29 through the multiplexer 27. The current / voltage converter 29 converts the current value into a voltage value, and the amplifier 30 amplifies it to a predetermined size and outputs it to the A / D converter 31. The A / D converter 31 converts the output of the amplifier 30 into a digital form to a form that can be recognized by the microprocessor 22. The microprocessor 22 converts the digital data input through the A / D converter 31, that is, the measured current value and the predominant current direction at the identified blood level, that is, the human body energy metabolism state, through the computer (PC) to the computer (PC). 34). The computer 34 receives the transmitted information to diagnose the constitution and disease of the subject and allow treatment to be performed accordingly. Then, the computer 34 outputs the energy state distribution diagram and prints it as necessary.

On the other hand, the microprocessor 22 drives the treatment frequency generator 32 when the input mode information is the treatment mode. The treatment frequency generator 32 generates a suitable treatment frequency according to the constitution of the subject and the type of disease. The treatment voltage generator 33 supplies the treatment voltage according to the treatment frequency to the electrode 28 through the multiplexer 27. When the electrode 28 is subjected to the adjusted pulse voltage and pressed at an appropriate pressure on the blood level of the human body, the current according to the treatment voltage flows through the meridians inside the human body. At this time, the electrode 28 measures the current flowing through the multiplexer 27 and outputs it to the DC / voltage converter 29. The DC / voltage converter 29 converts the detected DC value into a voltage value and outputs it to the amplifier 30. The amplifier 30 amplifies the input voltage value to a certain magnitude. The A / D converter 31 converts the voltage value amplified to a predetermined size into a digital value and outputs it to the microprocessor 22. The microprocessor 22 transmits the input digital value to the computer 33 through RS-232 so that the information can be stored for each subject on the computer 33. Here, the stimulation pattern generator 25, the A / D converter 31, and the treatment frequency generator 32 may be implemented as a single chip inside the microprocessor 22.

FIG. 5 is a graph showing measured current characteristics when the stimulus current of each of FIGS. 3A-B is applied to the human body. In the case of using the DC current as shown in FIG. 3A, the current is continuously applied to the living body and absorbed due to the biological characteristics. Thus, as shown in a part, the current value is lower than the initial measurement. On the contrary, in the case of using the square wave current as shown in FIG. 3B, since the current is continuously drawn in and drawn out at a cycle of 150 mA, the measurement current characteristic is constant as shown in b. This can accurately check the measured value when identifying the acupuncture points and can be used as a reference value when diagnosing the constitution with the current value that changes between the acupuncture points in the constitution diagnosis. In other words, the constitution diagnosis determines the change of the acupuncture points in response to the external stimulus and the influence, so that the basic constant current value can be maintained and the current value change for the external influence can be accurately identified.

6 is a graph showing blood level discrimination ability according to pressure. Referring to FIG. 6A, the metal electrode exhibits a characteristic of increasing the current to 500-600 g by an extremely small increase of about 5 mA and then increasing the current by about 10 mA according to the increased pressure. That is, the metal electrode should be applied with a pressure of approximately 600g to measure the current value to identify the menstrual blood. On the contrary, in FIG. 6B, the nonmetallic electrode shows a proportional increase of 10 mA to a pressure of about 150 g, and then maintains unchanged up to a pressure of 600 g, but shows a slight increase in current at a larger pressure. In other words, the non-metal electrode can improve the disadvantages of maintaining the high pressure and the nonlinearity of the current increase, which are the characteristics of the metal electrode, so that the measurement can be performed at a low pressure in contact with the skin at the time of measurement (hard contact continuous measurement).

Here, the electric stimulation and photo-stimulation electrodes can be used to measure the state of change of menstrual blood for each stimulus and use it as a parameter for constitution diagnosis.

As described above, the present invention relates to blood position identification and diagnosis / treatment device, which generates a square wave stimulation current and thus has a low influence on the human body and measures current drawn into and taken out of acupuncture points so that accurate blood levels can be identified and identified. Since the predominant current direction is used for constitutional identification and diagnosis at one blood level, it has the effect of making objective diagnosis and reliable treatment. In addition, the state of acupuncture changes for stimulation of each of the electrical stimulation and the photo-stimulation electrodes may be used for diagnosis.
