In general, when a high-frequency current is passed through the human body, whenever the direction of the current changes, the molecules constituting the tissue vibrate and rub against each other. As a result, heat is generated in the body tissue, which is called deep heat or deep heat.

Unlike other types of current, high-frequency current can heat a specific part of the body tissue without stimulating sensory or motor nerves and causing muscle contraction.

The high-frequency energy converted into biothermal energy raises the temperature of the body tissue to enhance cell function, and increases blood flow through arteries and capillary dilatation, thereby promoting blood and lymphatic circulation and enhancing metabolism.

here,

'RND(N)' is a function that searches for and calculates the unique position numbers of two or more electrode modules formed in the high frequency output applicator 100 from 2 to N,

'N' is the total number of electrode modules formed in the high frequency output applicator 100 (個數),

That is, the number of high-frequency active electrode modules 110 and high-frequency standby electrode modules 120,

That is, for example,

Looking at the high frequency output automatic switching mode 422 for controlling the high frequency output applicator 100 consisting of nine electrode modules as an embodiment,

First, nine electrode modules formed in the high frequency output applicator 100 are configured as shown in (Figure 1) below,

When the high-frequency active electrode module 110 currently in the process of high-frequency output is No. 1,

(Figure 1)

When the temperature measured in real time from the deep heat skin surface temperature sensor module 130 formed in the first high frequency active electrode module 110 exceeds a specific temperature condition,

No. 1 high-frequency active electrode module 110, the high-frequency output is cut off,

High frequency is output to any one of the remaining high frequency standby electrode modules 120 except for No. 2 and No. 6 adjacent to No. 3, including No. 3, so that it is activated as the next high frequency active electrode module 110 .

At this time, the remaining high-frequency standby electrode modules 120 are converted to the high-frequency active electrode modules 110 under optimal conditions according to their respective activation frequencies. to be selected, so that all electrode modules are converted to the high frequency active electrode module 110 in a balanced way.)

Based on the above,

를, 간략하게 실시 예로 살펴보면,(Function 1),

In brief, as an example,

if ((A ∈ nev(A))==True) then,

go to (A),

else go to (High frequency output electrode module conversion element (422-3-4))

, it can be expressed as

here,

'nev(A)' is a function for calculating a set of unique position numbers of electrode modules in adjacent areas except for the diagonal direction including A.

That is, when the unique position number of the electrode module calculated through 'RND(N)' is the previously activated high frequency active electrode module 110, and the recently activated high frequency active electrode module In the case of the unique position number of the high-frequency standby electrode module 120 adjacent to (110),

Again, through 'RND(N)', the unique position number of the new electrode module is searched and calculated,

Search again, the calculated number,

When the unique position number of the high-frequency active electrode module 110 activated immediately before and the unique position number of the high-frequency active electrode module 110 activated immediately before and adjacent to the high-frequency standby electrode module 120 do not match In, by the high frequency output electrode module conversion element (422-3-4), by outputting a high frequency to the waiting high frequency standby electrode module 120,

to be switched to the high-frequency active electrode module (110).

At this time, in consideration of the activation frequency of each electrode module, the procedure due to the high frequency output is performed evenly and evenly around the affected area and around the affected area.

For reference, when the high frequency output applicator 100 consisting of 9 electrode modules is formed as shown in (Fig. 1) above,

If the numbers of the adjacent areas of the high-frequency active electrode module 110 or the high-frequency standby electrode module 120 corresponding to each number are arranged,

In the case of 1, 2, 4,

In the case of 2, 1, 5, 3,

In the case of 3, 2 and 6

In the case of 4, 1, 5, 7,

In the case of No. 5, No. 2, No. 4, No. 6, No. 8,

6, 3, 5, 9,

In the case of 7, 4, 8,

In the case of 8, 7, 5, 9,

In case of No. 9, No. 6 and No. 8 are identified as adjacent areas.

On the other hand, 'conversion' and 'conversion' in the description of the electrode module are,

In the same sense, under a specific condition, the high frequency current output from two or more electrode modules is activated or deactivated only in one electrode module, so that the unique position number of the electrode module from which the high frequency current is output is changed.

In addition, 'specific temperature conditions' means,

It refers to the conditions entered by the operator, that is, the manager appropriately setting within the range of 36 °C to 45 °C. You can set the temperature.)

For example, when a specific temperature condition is set to 37°C by an operator, that is, an administrator, when it exceeds 37°C, the electrode module is switched.

The temperature range suggested to set the specific temperature condition is,

In general, the range is limited based on the point that the average body temperature is 36°C to 37°C, and the high risk of burns when the skin surface temperature exceeds 45°C.

In addition, 'specific conditions' means,

It may be defined in the same meaning as 'a position change condition of a specific electrode module', but it is preferable that the 'specific temperature condition' is included.

That is, certain conditions are

When an event occurs due to a specific temperature condition, the unique position number of the electrode module is automatically switched by the position conversion condition of the specific electrode module.

In addition, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5,

A is the unique position number of any electrode module searched and calculated from the function of RND(N),

A', calculated using the nev(A) function, is the current high-frequency output in progress, that is, the unique position number of the electrode module corresponding to the current high-frequency active electrode module 110, and waits in its adjacent area It is a set of unique position numbers of the electrode module corresponding to the high-frequency standby electrode 120 in progress,

A'' is a unique position number of the electrode module in which the activation frequency is considered through the electrode module activation frequency application function (422-3-4b).

That is, the unique position number of an arbitrary electrode module searched and calculated from the function of RND(N) is the unique number of the electrode module in which the high-frequency output is currently in progress, and the high-frequency standby electrode 120 waiting in its adjacent area including it. If it matches the unique number of

Using the RND(N) function, the unique position number of an arbitrary electrode module is searched again and calculated,

The unique position number of an arbitrary electrode module searched and calculated from the function of RND(N) is the unique number of the electrode module in which the high-frequency output is currently in progress, and the unique number of the high-frequency standby electrode 120 waiting in its adjacent area including it. Even if the number does not match, according to the activation frequency, by using the RND(N) function again, the unique number of a new arbitrary electrode module is searched and calculated,
