Description

Electric potential treatment device {ELECTRIC POTENTIAL TREATMENT DEVICE}

The present invention relates to an electric potential treatment device that performs treatment using an electric field, and more particularly, to an electric potential treatment device that can impart low-frequency stimulation to a human body.

The electric potential treatment device is to provide a high electric potential to a human body isolated from the earth, and to perform treatment using a biological stimulation action by an electric field formed around the human body. In the electric potential treatment device, an electric field is formed around the human body by an electric potential difference generated by applying an alternating voltage to the human body and the counter electrode, and in the electric potential treatment device having an AC component, the frequency is a commercial power supply. Many have a frequency (50 Hz/60 Hz) or high frequency component. In general, it is known to use a transformer (trans) to boost a commercial power supply, generate an alternating high voltage, and apply it to an electrode to impart a high electric potential to a human body isolated from the earth (for example, For example, see Patent Document 1).

However, low rhythms and music below the frequency (1 to 1.5 kHz), such as the normal heartbeat cycle of the human body (60 to 90 nights/minute ※ may vary depending on gender, age, and individual differences), negatively affect the human body It is known to make the nerve superior to the relaxed state (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).

Thus, in an alternating current treatment device of high voltage in AC, it is conceivable to generate an AC high voltage at a low frequency by supplying a low frequency AC low voltage to a transformer in advance.

Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-177402

Takenaka Mikako (武中美佳子), 3 others, 「A study on the physiological response by listening to the rhythm of the tempo based on the heart rate」, [online], March 17, 2005 (2005), Clinical Education Psychology Study, [Search for Pyeongseong 23 (2011), November 16], Internet <URL: http://ci.nii.ac.jp/naid/110004500192>

However, the conventional electric potential treatment device uses a transformer (trans) to boost the commercial power supply 100V (50/60㎐) to several 100V or several 1000V, but the existing transformer has a low frequency AC low voltage of 20㎐ or less. If it were to supply and generate an alternating high voltage at a low frequency, the circuit was complicated or disadvantageous in terms of cost and reliability, making it practically difficult.

Thus, the present invention provides a potential treatment device capable of imparting the same low-frequency stimulation to the human body as when a low-frequency alternating current low-voltage is generated with a simple circuit configuration using a conventional transformer, so that a relaxation effect can be expected. It aims to do.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention of claim 1 is connected to a first electrode that is non-contact to the human body, a second electrode that faces the first electrode and contacts the human body, and a commercial power supply. A first transformer applying an AC high voltage to the first electrode, a second transformer connected to a commercial power supply to apply an AC high voltage to the second electrode, and a circuit between the commercial power supply and the first electrode, and/or a commercial power supply It is installed in the circuit between the second electrodes, has a frequency converter for converting the frequency of commercial power, and sets the difference between the frequency of the AC high voltage applied to the first electrode and the frequency of the AC high voltage applied to the second electrode. It is an electric potential treatment device characterized by one.

According to this invention, the difference becomes a pulse beat in the frequency of the AC high voltage applied to the first electrode and the second electrode, respectively, and can be applied to the human body (blood healer) as a low-frequency electric field strength.

The invention of claim 2 is the potential treatment apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the difference between the frequency of the alternating high voltage applied to the first electrode and the frequency of the alternating high voltage applied to the second electrode is the frequency of the normal heartbeat of the human body. It is characterized by the following.

According to this invention, the difference in the frequency of the alternating current high voltage applied to the two electrodes becomes a pulse and is given to the human body as a frequency stimulus close to the human heart.

The invention of claim 3 is characterized in that, in the electric potential treatment device according to claim 1 or 2, most of the treatment time is set to a frequency slightly lower than the heart rate, and the vicinity is set higher than the conventional frequency at the end of the treatment time. do.

According to this invention, the pulse beat of a frequency slightly lower than the heartbeat is given to the human body at the end of the treatment time, and the pulse beat of a little higher frequency in the vicinity at the end of the treatment time.

According to the invention described in claim 1, by using an existing transformer, electric circuits of a plurality of alternating current high voltages with different frequencies can be formed without complicating the electric circuit and not being disadvantageous in terms of cost and reliability. The alternating high voltage electric field of a plurality of different frequencies generates "pulse play", and "pulse play" can realize low frequency stimulation. In addition, conventionally, a detector that drives a lamp, a buzzer, or the like by detecting a weak current by touching or approaching the human body of a high potential patient has been used, but this is used by a person other than the patient with the detector. , In the electric potential treatment device of the present invention, the subject himself has a detector, and by approaching the detector close to the first electrode, the low frequency causes a weakness in the lamp light and the buzzer sound, so that the victim himself is being treated. Can be recognized.

According to the invention described in claim 2, it is possible to impart to the human body a low frequency "pulse play" close to the normal heartbeat of the human body, and in addition to the therapeutic effect as an electric potential treatment device, a relaxing effect of parasympathetic superiority can be expected.

According to the invention described in claim 3, most of the treatment usually gives a lower frequency stimulus than the heart rate, and the second half of the treatment gives a little higher frequency stimulation of the heart rate to the human body. The treatment can be terminated with the human body active by a slightly higher frequency stimulation of the sympathetic superiority.

1 is a schematic circuit diagram showing an electric potential treatment device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
2 is a schematic diagram schematically showing an electrode and a human body for forming an electric field.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on the illustrated embodiment.

(Embodiment 1)

The electric potential treatment device 1 includes a chair B seated by a person to be treated and a first electrode positioned above the chair B so as to be non-contact to the head of the seated person (頭) T1), a second electrode T2 in front of the chair B, on which the foot portion of the seated patient is placed, and a voltage generating unit for supplying alternating high voltage applied to these electrodes T1 and T2 (20).

The chair B is mainly composed of a left portion 11, a backrest 12, and side walls 13 on the left and right, and the upper end of one side wall 13 On the) surface, an operation panel 14 for performing operations such as power ON and OFF is arranged. In addition, in the chair B, a head electrode case 15 in which the first electrode T1 is covered with a surface material covered with an insulating material, and a footrest (tub) with a surface material covered with an insulating material and having the second electrode T2 embedded therein Squadron) 16 is provided.

The voltage generating unit 20 has two transformers 21 and 22 connected to a commercial power supply A (for example, 100 V: 50 kV or less, respectively), and the first transformer 21 is the first A predetermined AC high voltage (for example, 9000V) is applied to the electrode T1, and the second transformer 22 applies a predetermined AC high voltage (for example, 9000V) to the second electrode T2.

Although the two transformers 21 and 22 have the same structure, a frequency converter (FC) 23 is connected to the primary side of the second transformer 22.

That is, the primary winding 21a of the first transformer 21 is connected to the commercial power supply A through switches SW1 and SW2, and one end of the secondary winding 21b is a current limiting element ( The safety resistor) 21c is connected to the first electrode T1, and the other end is connected to the ground G.

Meanwhile, the primary winding 22a of the second transformer 22 is connected to the commercial power supply A through switches SW1 and SW2 and the frequency converter 23, and one end of the secondary winding 22b is current It is connected to the second electrode T2 through the limiting element (safety resistor) 22c, and the other end is connected to the ground G. The current limiting elements 21c and 22c are connected to the secondary windings 21b and 22b of each transformer 21 and 22 to prevent a large current from flowing.

The switches SW1 and SW2 connected to the respective transformers 21 and 22 are turned ON and OFF by the power button disposed on the operation panel 14, and when the switches SW1 and SW2 are turned ON, the transformer Both (21, 22), the secondary winding (21b, 22b) side is boosted to 9000V to apply the AC high voltage 9000V to the first electrode (T1), the second electrode (T2).

In addition, since the commercial power (A) is directly input to the primary winding (21a) side of the first transformer (21), the secondary winding (21b) of the AC high voltage of the same frequency (50 ㎐) of the commercial power (A) Is output. On the other hand, since the commercial power supply A is connected to the primary winding 22a side of the second transformer 22 through the frequency converter 23, the frequency 50 Hz of the commercial power supply A is a predetermined frequency. The AC high voltage converted to (F1) (for example, 51 kHz) is output.

「How to use and action」

Next, a method and operation of using the electric potential treatment device 1 according to such a configuration will be described.

First, the patient is seated on the chair B, and the foot of the human body M is placed on the footrest 16. In this state, the first electrode T1 of the head electrode case 15 is located in a state separated from the head of the human body M, and the second electrode T2 of the footrest 16 is the human body M ) Through the insulator.

Next, when the switches SW1 and SW2 are turned on by operating the power button of the operation panel 14, power of the commercial power supply A 100V: 50 kW is supplied to the voltage generating unit 20.

In addition, since the commercial power supply (A) 100V: 50mA is input to the first transformer 21 as it is, an alternating high voltage of 9000V:50mA is generated in the secondary winding 21b.

On the other hand, the frequency is converted from F2=50 Hz to 51 Hz by the frequency converter 23 connected to the primary winding 22a side of the second transformer 22, and is input from the secondary winding 22b. An alternating high voltage of 9000V:F2=51㎐ is generated.

Accordingly, an alternating current high voltage of 9000V:50 ㎐ is applied to the first electrode T1 on the head side, and an alternating high voltage of 9000V:51 에는 is applied to the second electrode T2 of the foot side, and two electrodes are applied. An electric potential difference occurs between (T1 and T2), and a high electric potential is given to the subject to be treated, and electric potential treatment is performed using the biostimulation action by the electric field formed around the human body M.

In addition, a small difference of 1 발생 is generated in the frequency of the AC high voltage applied to each electrode T1 and T2, and this causes a weakening in the alternating electric field, which is felt by the person being treated as a pulsating pulse, and a low frequency in the human body M The stimulus is given.

The difference 1㎐ of the frequency of the AC high voltage applied to the two electrodes T1 and T2 can be changed by adjusting the frequency converter 23, for example, the frequency supplied to the second transformer 22 If the voltage is adjusted to convert to 51 Hz, the difference in the frequency of the AC high voltage applied to the two electrodes T1 and T2 becomes 1 Hz, and the subject can be stimulated with a low frequency of 1 Hz.

And, the difference of the frequency of the alternating current high voltage applied to the two electrodes T1 and T2 is approximately equal to the frequency lower than or equal to the frequency (1 to 1.8 Hz) of the normal heartbeat cycle (60 to 90 beats/minute) of the human body, or By approximating, the relaxing effect of parasympathetic superiority can be expected.

As described above, since the frequency converter 23 is only connected to the existing transformer 22 in order to impart a low-frequency stimulus to the patient, it is not required to have a complicated electrical circuit configuration, so that it is not expensive and reliable. You can do circuit design.

In addition, conventionally, a person other than the person to be treated has a detector, touches or approaches the human body of a high potential patient, detects a weak current, and drives a detector, a buzzer, or the like. In the electric potential treatment device, the subject himself has a detector, and by approaching the detector close to the first electrode, the low frequency (pulse) causes a strong light in the lamp light and the buzzer sound, clearly recognizing that the patient is being treated. can do.

In addition, in the first embodiment, the frequency converter 23 has been described as being disposed on the primary winding 22a side of the second transformer 22, but in the potential treatment device 1 of the present invention, It is not limited, and may not be the second transformer 22, but may be the primary winding 21a side of the first transformer 21. Furthermore, it may be provided in both the first transformer 21 and the second transformer 22. In other words, it is sufficient to be able to set such that a small difference occurs in the frequency of the AC high voltage applied to the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2.

(Embodiment 2)

Next, Embodiment 2 of the electric potential treatment device capable of varying the frequency of the stimulus close to the human body M during treatment will be described. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the frequency of the alternating current high voltage applied during the treatment time is changed. Therefore, each component is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the illustration is omitted and will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 used in the first embodiment.

For example, if the treatment time of the electric potential treatment device 10 is set to 60 minutes, 50 minutes from the start (most of treatment) is such that pulse play of a frequency slightly lower than the heart rate (for example, 0.4 Hz) occurs. , The remaining 10 minutes (the second half of the treatment) controls the frequency converter 23 so that a slightly higher frequency of the heartbeat (eg, 1.8 Hz) occurs.

Specifically, the frequency of the AC power input to the second transformer 22 is 50 minutes from the start of treatment (the power button of the electric potential treatment device 1 is turned on) so that the frequency F2 = 50.4 Hz, and then, In the latter 10 minutes, the frequency converter 23 is controlled so that the frequency F2 = 51.8 Hz.

Accordingly, an alternating current high voltage of a frequency F2=50.4 Hz slightly lower than the heart rate is applied to the second electrode T2 for 50 minutes from the start of treatment, and an alternating current of a slightly higher frequency F2=51.8 Hz from 10 minutes before the end to the end. High voltage is applied.

Thus, in the electric field formed by the AC high voltage of the first electrode T1 and the AC high voltage of the second electrode T2, 0.4 minutes of pulsation, which is slightly lower than the frequency of the heartbeat, usually occurs for 50 minutes from the start of treatment. For a period of time, pulse beats with a slightly higher frequency of 1.8 kHz are usually generated.

In addition, since the subject receives stimulation at a frequency lower than the normal heart rate (0.4 Hz) for 50 minutes from the start of treatment, the patient becomes in a relaxed state of parasympathetic superiority, and for a period of 10 minutes before termination, the normal heart rate is slightly higher (1.8 Hz) Since it is stimulated, it becomes in a state of sympathetic dominance, prevents a decrease in the level of arousal, and can end treatment in an active state.

As described above, according to the electric potential treatment device 1 of the second embodiment, most of the treatment is a low-frequency stimulation that is slightly lower than the frequency of the heartbeat, and a slightly higher-frequency stimulation of the heartbeat is late in the treatment or near the end of the human body (M). Since it is given to the patient, the treatment can be terminated by putting the human body M into an active state by stimulating a slightly higher frequency of sympathetic dominance at the end of treatment, while providing a relaxation effect.

In this way, by controlling the frequency converter 23 and changing the frequency of the AC high voltage applied to the two electrodes over time, it is possible to make the frequency difference back and forth between cycles centered on the heart rate. In addition, the state of sympathetic and parasympathetic superiority can be selected, and appropriate treatment is possible for each patient.

In addition, in the second embodiment, although the treatment time was set to 60 minutes, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to treat a short or long time appropriately depending on the treatment condition of the human body M. Do.

As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was demonstrated, the specific structure is not limited to the said embodiment, Even if there is a design change etc. which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, it is contained in this invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, although the voltages boosted by the first transformer 21 and the second transformer 22 are boosted to the same voltage value, it is not limited to this, and the first electrode T1 is not limited to this. ) And the second electrode T2 may be applied with different voltage values.

In addition, the difference between the frequencies of the AC high voltage applied to the first electrode T1 and the second electrode T2 was set to 1 Hz in the first embodiment, and 0.4 Hz and 1.8 Hz in the second embodiment, respectively, and the respective frequencies 1 Although it has been described that the pulsation, 0.4 kHz, or 1.8 kHz is produced, the electric potential treatment device 1 of the present invention is not limited to this, and any frequency that can be taken by the subject being low-frequency is acceptable.

In addition, although it has been described that the second electrode T2 is incorporated in the footrest 16, for example, the second electrode T2 may be incorporated in the left portion 11.
