The apparatus may further include a temperature sensor 128 for sensing the temperature of the conductive plates 121 and 122 and a display unit 129 for displaying the detected temperature.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the athlete's foot treatment device according to the present invention configured as described above, its action and treatment method will be described in detail.

First, the water tank 200 is contained in an appropriate level.

The tank 200 may have a structure having two treatment tanks 210 divided in an integrated body, and may be two independent tanks.

In the case of the integrated structure, a non-conductor 220 that blocks heat conduction between the two treatment tanks 210 is used.

At this time, the water contained in the water tank 200 may be acidic or alkaline water.

In addition, since the tank 200 has two divided regions, one side may contain acidic water and the other region may contain alkaline water.

The acidic water and the alkaline water are adjusted by using an ionized water group or by putting an acidic or alkaline solution in water to adjust the proper acidity.

At this time, an appropriate acidity is acidity (alkali degree) other than pH4-pH6.

The skin filamentous fungus is most active in the range of pH4 to pH6, which is a weakly acidic environment.

In particular, when the external environmental pH changes drastically, the cell membrane is destroyed and the activity of enzymes and membrane transport proteins is inhibited and the cells are damaged.

In view of the above theory, one side of the tank 200 contains acidic water and the other side contains alkaline water, and the treatment site is periodically crossed with acidic and alkaline water to increase the therapeutic effect.

After the acidic water and the alkaline water are put in the water tank 200, the water tank 200 is coupled to the main body portion 100.

Then, while the power is applied, the user manipulates the input unit 127 to create a desired temperature environment.

Examples that can be manipulated through the input unit 127 may be to heat or cool the entire tank 200, or to heat one side and to cool the other side.

The range of the heating is about 45 ~ 47 ℃, the range of cooling is about 4 ~ 10 ℃.

In the above temperature range, mesophilic dermatophytes cannot grow or survive.

In addition, when the temperature changes rapidly, the skin filamentous fungi cannot grow or survive as the acidity changes.

When the user sets the temperature as described above, the control unit 126 receives the input and performs the corresponding control.

The control unit 126 controls the polarity of the voltage supplied to each of the thermoelectric elements 123 and 124 by converting a switch in the power supply unit 125.

By such an operation, the surfaces in contact with the conductive plates 121 and 122 of the thermoelectric elements 123 and 124 are heated or cooled, and the temperature is acidic water contained in the water tank 200 through the conductive plates 121 and 122. Or alkaline water is heated or cooled.

The temperature of the conductive plates 121 and 122 is detected by the temperature sensor 128, which cuts off the power supplied to the thermoelectric elements 123 and 124 when it is out of the set temperature range according to the determination of the controller 126. To help.

The detected temperature is displayed on the display unit 129.

Check the temperature displayed on the display unit 129 and when the temperature is suitable for treatment, the infected site of the patient is put in the tank (200).

At this time, the insulation plate 300 is covered on the upper portion of the water tank 200 for the warming effect.

In order to make a suitable temperature for the treatment, the acidic water or alkaline water contained in the initial tank 200 may be selected to contain hot or cold water.

As such, the infection site is kept in the tank 200 for about 20 to 40 minutes.

At this time, the additional supply of oxygen or alkaline water is very small, and the dermatophytes are aerobic, so if the supply of oxygen is reduced, it will not be able to grow or survive.

This treatment, and in order to give a sharp change in the environment to move the infected area to another area of the tank 200 to continue the treatment.

When the treatment is complete, use a dryer to dry the treatment area completely.

The above treatment procedure will be described with more detailed treatment examples.

Example 1

In the right region of the water tank 200, acidic water, which is hot water, contains alkaline water, which is cold water, in the left region.

The acidic water at this time is pH3, and the alkaline water is between pH7.5 and pH9.

Next, the conduction plate 122 of the thermoelectric element 124 that controls the temperature of the right tank by operating the input unit 127 of the temperature control unit 120 in a state in which the water tank 200 is coupled to the main body unit 100. The contacting surface is heated, and the contacting surface with the conductive plate 122 of the thermoelectric element 123 that controls the temperature of the left tank is cooled.

At this time, the upper portion of the water tank 200 is closed by the cover 110.

The sensor 128 detects whether the acidic water, which is the hot water and the cold water, which are the cold water in the tank has reached an appropriate temperature by the heating and cooling operations, and displays the same on the display unit 129 so that the user can recognize the same.

If both feet are infected with filamentous fungi, first immerse both feet in acidic and alkaline water for 20 to 40 minutes, respectively.

When this time elapses, the product is replaced by one or two feet, soaking the feet in alkaline and acidic water to make a drastic change in external environmental factors such as temperature and pH to enhance the therapeutic effect.

At this time, by changing the left and right feet, the body portion 100 to which the water tank 200 is coupled may be rotated 180 degrees to change the foot in a comfortable posture.

After changing the foot, the skin is maintained without an additional oxygen supply to remove the filamentous fungi.

Example 2

The right area of the water tank 200 contains acidic water, which is hot water, and alkaline water, which is hot water, in the left area.

The acidic water at this time is pH3, and the alkaline water is between pH7.5 and pH9.

Then, the water tank 200 is operated to operate the input unit 127 of the temperature control unit 120 while being coupled to the main body unit 100 so that both the acidic water and the alkaline water of the water tank are heated by the thermoelectric elements 123 and 124. do.

At this time, the upper portion of the water tank 200 is closed by the cover 110.

The sensor 128 detects whether the acidic water and the alkaline water, which are the hot water contained in the tank, have reached an appropriate temperature by the heating operation, and displays them on the display unit 129 so that the user can recognize them.

If both feet are infected with filamentous fungi, first put both feet in acidic and alkaline water for 20 to 40 minutes to treat them.

After this time, the left and right feet are swapped so that the feet are put in alkaline water and acidic water, and the pH is changed rapidly.

At this time, by changing the foot by rotating the main body 100 by 180 degrees, the patient can be treated by maintaining an environment in which oxygen is not additionally supplied in a comfortable posture.

Example 3

In Example 2, both the acidic and alkaline waters were heated, but all could be performed in the same manner by cooling. Cooling has the advantage of a large difference from body temperature.

Example 4

In Example 2 and Example 3, the temperature conditions are uniform, and a sharp change in pH is used to increase the treatment effect. On the contrary, the pH is the same, and the two treatment tanks 210 of the water tank 200 each have hot water and Cold water can be used to give a sudden change in temperature to increase the therapeutic effect.

The process of changing the temperature is described in detail in Example 1, and thus will be omitted.
