Body Fat Reduction Device {APPARATUS FOR REDUCTION OF FAT}

The present invention relates to an apparatus for reducing body fat, and more particularly, to an apparatus for reducing body fat using sound wave vibration kinetic energy and far infrared wave energy and heat energy having a specific frequency and amplitude.

The increase in obesity is spreading at home and abroad, and the subjects are also appearing in all age groups from childhood to boyhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and the current obesity population has exceeded 300 million people worldwide. In other words, according to the World Health Organization, the world's obesity population has increased by 50% in the past seven years. In Korea, the obesity population has recently increased, and the overweight population has reached about 11-12%.

Obesity refers to a condition in which fat storage in the body is abnormally increased, and such obesity is a major cause of various diseases. In particular, obesity is closely related to diseases such as hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cerebrovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, ischemic heart disease, hypoxia, pulmonary arterial hypertension, arthritis, fatty liver, pregnancy addiction and diabetes.

As a method for treating obesity, diet and exercise therapy are mainly used. In addition, behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, drug therapy, and surgical therapy may be combined. However, diet and exercise therapy is very difficult to last for a long time, and other methods have a problem that the obesity patients can be stressed because of the risk of side effects. In addition, pharmacotherapy, such as surgery does not increase muscle mass, such as skeletal muscle mass even if body fat is decomposed, so if there is no continuous treatment there is a problem that the body fat increases rather than occurs.

Recently, for the prevention and treatment of obesity vibration device has been preferred. Vibration exercise device can be exercise effect without effort, can last a long time, has no side effect has emerged as a device that can effectively treat obesity.

Vibration motion mechanism using the vertical rotation method is a device that generates a fine vibration of the maximum vibration width of 5mm average 1.7mm, the left and right vibration and rotational vibration occurs together. This complex vibration is transmitted to the body and is suitable for powerful muscle movement.

In addition, the seesaw method is mainly used for the mechanism in which the scaffold vibrates. The seesaw method is a method in which the diaphragms on both sides connected to a fixed axis alternately vibrate, and the vibration is transmitted as it is centered on the large muscle group, thereby inducing the contraction and relaxation of the muscles, thereby enabling strength strengthening exercise.

However, the vibrating exercise device using the vertical rotation method or the seesaw method may be unreasonable for body fat decomposition because the vibration is transmitted intensively to a region adjacent to the vibration generating unit. In addition, there is a problem that can cause side effects to pain and human organs by excessive vibration energy.

The amplifier method uses the frequency modulation principle of the amplifier to realize only vertical vibration. Conventional amplifier type vibration exercise mechanism mainly implements the vertical vibration of the scaffold can safely and effectively transmit vibration to the human body having a vertical joint structure.

On the other hand, the conventional vibrators are mainly used in the ultrasonic region with a frequency of more than 20 kHz to achieve body fat decomposition, and even when using sonic vibration vibrates at a high frequency of 10 Hz or more, fat cells, skin cells and related tissues and organs, etc. It may be destroyed, and in particular, in the case of using a motor-type vibration exerciser, a long-term exposure may cause a side effect of causing an abnormality in the equilibrium center due to a stimulus applied to the semicircular canal.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, to provide a body fat reduction device that allows the whole body movement without side effects due to the use of high frequency region is driven by the vertical sound wave vibration of the ultra-low frequency region of 1Hz to 10Hz The purpose is.

In addition, the present invention has another object to provide a body fat reduction device that can achieve a significant body fat reduction by using a combination of sound wave vibration exercise, far infrared rays and heat energy.

In addition, it is another object to provide a body fat reduction device suitable for long-term therapy by using a sonic vibration exercise, far infrared rays, etc. can safely reduce body fat without side effects such as fatigue, pain, cell destruction, damage to the balance center.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a chamber having a heat supply means for the operator to enter and supply heat energy therein; Vibration movement means having a vibration unit mounted in the chamber to generate a sound wave vibration and a vibration transmission unit connected to the vibration unit for transmitting the vertical vibration generated in the vibration unit to the body of the subject; Far-infrared radiation means for radiating far-infrared rays by heat energy supplied from said heat supply means; It provides a body fat reduction device including a control unit for adjusting the frequency and amplitude of the vibration unit and the internal temperature of the chamber.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to achieve a significant body fat reduction by using a combination of ultra-low frequency vibration, far-infrared radiation and heat energy.

In addition, even when using the body fat reduction device according to the present invention is less fatigue or pain can be suitable for long-term therapy and prevent the yo-yo phenomenon.

Hereinafter, the body fat reduction device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4.

1 is a front sectional view showing an embodiment of a body fat reduction device according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the body fat reduction device according to the present invention.

As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the body fat reduction device of the present embodiment comprises a chamber 100 surrounded by partitions 110 to form a rectangular parallelepiped to isolate the interior; A heat source 140 provided in the chamber 100; A far-infrared radiator 150 that emits far infrared rays when heat is transferred from the heat source 140; A vibration unit 130 for generating sound wave vibrations which are vertical vibrations of the ultra low frequency region; A vibration transmission unit 120 placed on the vibration unit 130 to vibrate together when the vibration unit 130 vibrates to transmit the vibration to the body; It includes a control unit 160 for adjusting the temperature in the chamber 100, the frequency and amplitude of the vibration unit 130.

In the present embodiment, the vibration transmission unit 120 in the form of a chair when the user sits on the vibration transmission unit 120, the vibration of the vibration unit 130 is transmitted to the body to bring the movement effect. This vibration effect starts the body fat decomposition.

Vibration of the vibration unit 130 is a sound wave range of the frequency of 1Hz to 10Hz, amplitude of 0.5mm to 6mm range. Too large an amplitude can cause fatigue and pain for the user, and too small an amplitude reduces the motor effect. Therefore, the user can adjust the amplitude and frequency according to their physical condition and health condition. In the sonic range, the user can feel the frequency, so he can find a stable frequency range for himself.

The vibrator 130 forms a vertical vibration as an amplifier type vibration device. When the frequency of the vibrator 130 is greater than 10 Hz through experiments for the present invention, fat cells and skin cells start to be destroyed, and the user's head is shaken to stimulate organs that sense the sense of orientation or equilibrium, such as the semicircular canal. It has been found to give or shock. Therefore, in this embodiment, the vibrator 130 vibrates at a safe frequency of 10 Hz or less.

The vibration transmitting unit 120 may be a chair-shaped seating unit where the user can sit and comfortably perform vibration movement and far-infrared radiation, and the vertical vibration of the vibration unit 130 may be evenly transmitted to the body of the seater.

In this embodiment, the heat source 140 was mounted in four groups on the front and rear inside the chamber 100. Far-infrared radiator 150 may be used, such as ocher, ceramic, charcoal, stone. In this embodiment, in order to maximize the emission of far-infrared rays, a plurality of grains are manufactured in which a material having ionized SiO ₂ component of the loess by alkali treatment at high temperature (hereinafter, referred to as ocher ionization processing material) is spherical with a diameter of 5 mm. It was. The ocher ionization material was mounted on the heat source 140 by 4 kg.

The heat source 140 provides heat to be maintained at 30 ° C. to 60 ° C., and when the heat supplied from the heat source 140 is supplied to the far infrared emitter 150, infrared rays (far infrared rays) having a wavelength of 3-1000 μm are emitted. . In particular, in the case of the loess ionization processing material of the present embodiment, anion is generated to have an antibacterial and deodorizing effect, and there are additional effects such as skin function improvement and skin disease treatment. These far infrared rays are well absorbed by materials and have strong resonance and resonance effects on organic compounds. In other words, the far infrared is a thermal action of the large electronic pie, which acts on the body to remove bacteria and expand the capillaries to help blood circulation and tissue formation. Therefore, the resonance action of thermal energy and far infrared light promotes body fat decomposition and excretion.

The partition wall 110 of the chamber 100 allows the temperature inside the chamber to be maintained. The partition wall 110 is provided with a control unit 160 and a door 111 for entrance and exit. The user may enter and exit the chamber 100 using the access handle 112 of the door 111.

You can enter The amplitude, frequency and internal temperature may be set constant during the procedure or may be set to change during the procedure.

Figure 3 is a front sectional view showing an embodiment of the vibration unit of the body fat reduction device according to the present invention. 2 and 3, the vibration transmission unit 120 is coupled to the vibration unit 130 as a rod 121.

Around the rod 121 of the vibration transmission unit 120 is provided with a support portion 122 of the disc and a permanent magnet 123 is mounted at the end. The vibration unit 130 includes a compression spring 131 for supporting the support part 122 of the rod 121, a movement of the electromagnet 132 and the rod 121 facing the permanent magnet 123 and connected to the controller 160. Guide 133 is provided to guide the. An alternating current for controlling the magnetic force of the electromagnet 132 so that the permanent magnet 123 vibrates at the set frequency and the set amplitude is supplied from the controller 160 to the electromagnet 132. The vibration of the permanent magnet 123 is transmitted to the vibration transmission unit 120. The above-mentioned vibration unit is not limited to this, but may be any device capable of forming sound wave vibrations by an amplifier method.

The controller 160 may adjust the amplitude and frequency of the vibration unit 130 by controlling the AC current input to the magnet, and may control the temperature of the chamber 100 by controlling the operating time of the heat source 140.

By virtue of the device configuration as described above, the movement of vibration, sterilization by far-infrared radiation radiated from the far-infrared radiator 150 and the action of poisoning through blood circulation, and the function of promoting metabolism by heat energy act in combination to safely maintain body fat. Can be reduced. In particular, the body fat is greatly reduced by performing the procedure within 30 minutes at least 5 times a week.

Hereinafter, the results of the body fat reduction experiment using the body fat reduction device described above.

For this experiment, the chamber 100 was manufactured with a width of 1.2 mm and a length of 1.0 m and a height of 1.8 m, and the far-infrared radiator 150 processed a loess ionization material into a sphere of 5 mm diameter and 4 to 4 heat sources. A total of 16 kg by kg was mounted.

The amplitude and frequency of the vibrator 130 were set to allow the test subjects to feel comfortable and to perform the procedure for 30 minutes once a day for 5 days. Test subjects A and B after using the body fat tester according to the present invention for 5 days, the weight, skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass measurement results are shown in Table 1.

As shown in Table 1, the weight before and after the procedure is within the error limits that can vary whether the discharge or intake of water and whether the intake of food within the range that can be considered the same before and after the procedure. In A, body fat decreased 1.8 kg (9.6%) and skeletal muscle mass increased 1.3 kg (4.2%). In B, body fat decreased 0.9 kg (2.9%) and skeletal muscle mass increased 0.5 kg (1.75%). That is, body fat decreased but skeletal muscle mass increased. If the body fat is increased and there is no change in skeletal muscle mass, the yo-yo phenomenon may occur rather than after the program is executed. However, when the program using the body fat reduction device according to the present invention is performed, the body fat is lost while the skeletal muscle mass is increased. The yo-yo phenomenon can be significantly lowered.

4 is a graph showing the relationship between amplitude and body fat loss rate. B body fat concentration is 43.6%, which is significantly higher than A body fat concentration of 25.5%, but looking at the amplitude and body fat reduction rate, it can be seen that the body fat reduction rate depends on the amplitude. In the case of reducing body fat by using a conventional ultrasonic vibrator, the higher the body fat concentration is, the higher the body fat reduction rate is. However, in the present invention using a combination of a sonic vibration device, far infrared rays and thermal energy, the amplitude and body fat reduction rate are the same at the same frequency and temperature conditions. This is almost directly proportional. Therefore, according to the present invention, the subject can adjust the amplitude within a safe sonic vibration frequency range (1 Hz to 10 Hz) in which cells are not destroyed to set an appropriate body fat reduction rate.

The present invention described above is not limited to the above-described embodiments and the accompanying drawings, and various substitutions, modifications, and changes are possible within the scope without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It will be apparent to those who have knowledge.
