BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in fields such as beauty and massage, a voltage applying device is used in order to obtain a weak current to flow to a human body.

For example, Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3119782 discloses a voltage application device, which is a health beauty device having an energy wave generator and two electric electrodes connected to the energy wave generator by electric wires. In this document, a foot of a person (a physician) who receives a massage on one electric electrode is left in a bare state and the other electric electrode is stepped barefoot by a hairdresser or a massage person (practitioner) The massage effect is provided by the contact of both hands of the user.

However, the above-described conventional techniques have the following problems.

In the conventional voltage applying device, only one electrode is stepped on by a practitioner such as a hairdresser or a massage maker. Therefore, the practitioner who is performing the procedure by the practitioner can not be obliged to perform the procedure by being located at any one place. Therefore, the posture of the practitioner is likely to become unstable, and it is difficult to adjust the current by the sole.

In addition, the practitioner can not use the hands of the treating person for each treatment part because of a lot of restrictions, and the degree of freedom of the treatment is low.

The present invention proposes an electrode arrangement that allows a practitioner to adjust the current by the soles of the legs and improve the degree of freedom of the procedure when the patient is used to flow a weak current through the hands of the practitioner.

The present invention also relates to a device for applying a voltage to a human body which is capable of causing a current to flow substantially uniformly to the subject as long as the electrodes are stepped on by the same operator under the same conditions, .

The present invention also provides a movable voltage application device having a conductive material on the bottom of an insulator, an electrode, and an electrode.

An apparatus for applying a voltage to a human body according to the present invention includes: a voltage generator having a first output terminal and a second output terminal capable of stepping down an input AC voltage and outputting a reduced AC voltage; First connecting means electrically connected to the first output terminal; A first electrode electrically connected to a front end portion of the first connection means; Second connecting means electrically connected to the second output terminal; A second electrode electrically connected to a front end portion of the second connection means; Third connecting means electrically connected to the second electrode; A third electrode electrically connected to a distal end of the third connecting means; Fourth connecting means electrically connected to the second electrode; And a fourth electrode electrically connected to the distal end of the fourth connection means, wherein the third electrode and the fourth electrode are arranged in parallel with respect to the second electrode.

And each electrode connected in series to each of the third electrode and the fourth electrode.

When the electrodes are formed in series, the electrical conductivity of the rear-end electrode connected in series to the third electrode is made larger than the electrical conductivity of the third electrode.

According to the above voltage applying device, the first electrode is brought into contact with a part of the body of the subject, and at the same time, a practitioner in a barefoot state presses one of the plurality of second electrodes on the sole, The current based on the current can be made to flow through the hand of the operator to the treatment part of the patient.

According to the voltage application device, it is possible to dispose a plurality of second electrodes, which are configured to surround the perimeter of the patient who is lying on the bed, on the floor or the like. As a result, the operator can perform operation while moving between a plurality of second electrodes in accordance with each treatment part of the patient. As a result, the practitioner does not have to touch the treatment area in an unreasonable posture at the time of the procedure. Therefore, the operator can perform the operation in a stable posture, and the method of stepping on the second electrode can be changed even in a stable posture. Therefore, the ground area of the sole to be grounded to the second electrode, the weight of the foot, It is possible to make fine adjustment. Therefore, according to the voltage applying device, the practitioner can easily adjust the current by the leg, and the degree of freedom of the procedure can be improved.

Further, according to the above voltage application device, even if any of the second electrodes, which is the second electrode, is depressed by the practitioner, as long as the second electrode is depressed by the same operator under the same condition, Current can flow. Therefore, the practitioner can perform the procedure with less unevenness among the respective treatment regions in the respective places where the second electrodes are arranged.

In addition, according to the present invention, a movable voltage application device having a conductive material is provided on the bottom of the insulator, the electrodes, and the electrodes, so that the same current (voltage) can be applied to the operator regardless of the position of the practitioner. In addition, since it is not necessary to fix the electrode device on the floor fixedly, it is possible to save space and cost of installation.

Hereinafter, some embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to exemplary drawings. It should be noted that, in adding reference numerals to the constituent elements of the drawings, the same constituent elements are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals whenever possible, even if they are shown in different drawings. In the following description of the embodiments of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may obscure the embodiments of the present invention.

Also, when a component is described as being "connected", "coupled", or "connected" to another component, the component may be directly connected or connected to the other component, It should be understood that an element may be "connected," "coupled," or "connected."

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

The voltage application device 1 can be suitably used to flow a current to a treatment part of a patient through a hand of a practitioner. In this case, the first electrode is used in contact with a part of the body of the subject. Further, the second electrode is used by stepping on the sole of the practitioner in the bare foot state. Incidentally, the bare foot state also includes a state in which a practitioner can wear electric conductive socks or the like on the bare feet as well as bare feet to allow electricity to flow through the sole.

Specifically, in the voltage applying unit, the voltage generating unit 2 is capable of down converting the input alternating voltage into a plurality of alternating voltages and outputting a reduced alternating voltage to the first output terminal 21 and the second output So that it can be outputted from the terminal 22. In this case, it becomes possible to cause each current based on the other alternating-current voltage having the output to flow to the treatment part of the recipient through the hand of the practitioner. In addition, the voltage generating unit can down-convert the input AC voltage to a predetermined AC voltage once or in multiple stages.

In the voltage applying device, it is preferable that the electric resistance values of the plurality of connecting means (cables) are substantially the same. In this case, as long as the second electrode is stepped on by the same operator under the same condition, even if the second electrode is touched by the practitioner out of the second electrodes arranged in series or parallel / It becomes easy to flow electric current.

In the voltage application device, it is preferable that each cable material, each cable length, and each cable conductor diameter, which are a plurality of respective connecting means, are substantially the same, but not limited thereto, Thereby increasing the electric conductivity of the electrode. The influence of the conductivity may be the material, the length, the area and / or the material and the area of the electrodes of the connecting means, but is not limited thereto,

In the case where the electrodes are formed in series, the electric conductivity of the electrodes connected to the rear end with respect to the voltage generating unit is made larger. For example, when the electrodes are connected in series, So that the electrical conductivity of the electrode is greater than the electrical conductivity of the third electrode. Therefore, the output values at all the electrodes can be made equal.

In order to increase the conductivity, materials or materials with higher conductivity may be used.

In the voltage applying apparatus, the number of the second electrodes may be specifically within a range of 3 to 8. The number of the second electrodes is preferably three or more, and more preferably four or more. In this case, it is easy to arrange the second electrode so as to surround the bed of the physiotherapist on the bed so as not to cover the periphery. As a result, the operator can easily move between the second electrodes, thereby making it easier to secure more positions in which a practitioner can easily support a stable posture. The number of the second electrodes may be preferably 7 or less, more preferably 6 or less. If the number of the second electrodes becomes too large, it takes time to manufacture the voltage applying device or to discharge the second electrode. When the upper limit of the number of the second electrodes is within the above-mentioned range, it is easy to suppress the occurrence of the problem.

In the voltage applying apparatus, the voltage generating unit may have a modulation circuit for converting the frequency of the input AC voltage into a frequency lower than the frequency of the input AC voltage. In this case, it is different from the frequency of the input AC voltage. For example, it is possible to output an AC voltage having a suitable frequency by the human body.

In this case, the width of the frequency of the outputted alternating voltage can be widened as compared with the case without the modulation circuit. Therefore, in this case, a voltage applying apparatus with a higher degree of freedom of procedure can be obtained.

In the voltage application device, the voltage generator may be configured to output an AC voltage of at least a frequency of 5 to 20 Hz. In this case, it is possible to output an alternating voltage of a frequency close to a wave or wave. In this case, the practitioner can perform the procedure with the assistant in a more relaxed state. In addition, the AC voltage of the frequency can be realized by converting the frequency of the input AC voltage through the modulation circuit.

The frequency is preferably 6 Hz or more, more preferably 6.5 Hz or more, still more preferably 7 Hz or more. The frequency is preferably 18 Hz or less, more preferably 16 Hz or less, still more preferably 14 Hz or less, still more preferably 13 Hz or less.

In the voltage application device, the second electrode may be made of stainless steel. In this case, it is possible to obtain a voltage applying device that is easy to use for the above-described procedure because the second electrode is less prone to rust and the electric conductivity is appropriate at the time of using the voltage applying device, and is excellent in maintenance property.

The conductive plate is made of a material having high electrical conductivity such as metal, carbon rubber, or electromagnetic wave-proof cloth. In the case of an electrode connected in series, the rear plate So that the output can be made equal.

In addition, each of the above-described constitutions can be arbitrarily combined as necessary in order to obtain the respective action effects and the like.

Hereinafter, a voltage applying apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The same reference numerals are used for the same members.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a voltage generating portion in the voltage applying device of FIG. 1A / 1B, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a voltage applying device Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the usage pattern of the voltage application device of Fig. 1A / 1B, and Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of the voltage application device of Fig. 1A / Another drawing showing an example of the use form.

As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B to FIG. 5, the voltage applying apparatus 1 of the present embodiment includes a first output terminal 21 for outputting a stepped down AC voltage, (3) electrically connected to the first output terminal (21) and a first connecting means (cable) (3) electrically connected to the front end of the first cable (3) (5) electrically connected to the second output terminal (22), a second electrode (55) connected to the tip of the second cable (5), and a second electrode Third connecting means electrically connected to the second electrode, a third electrode electrically connected to the front end of the third connecting means and connected in series with the second electrode, And an electrode 77 connected in series with the fourth connecting means 7 connected to the electrode. In addition, as shown in the drawing, the fifth and sixth connecting means 8 and 9 and the fifth and sixth electrodes 88 and 99 are arranged in the arrangement as described above.

The above description is merely an example, and as another example, the electrode may be additionally constituted in series, and as another embodiment, the electrode may be arranged in the middle as shown in FIG. 1B.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the voltage generating unit 2 includes a first output terminal 21 and a second output terminal 22 for down converting an input AC voltage and outputting a reduced AC voltage. A first connecting means (cable) 3 electrically connected to the first output terminal; A first electrode (4) electrically connected to a distal end portion of the first connection means; Second connecting means (5) electrically connected to the second output terminal; A second electrode (555) electrically connected to a distal end of the second connection means; Third connecting means (61) electrically connected to the second electrode; A third electrode (616) electrically connected to the tip of the third connecting means; A fourth connecting means (62) electrically connected to the second electrode; And a fourth electrode (626) electrically connected to the tip end of the fourth connection means, wherein the third electrode and the fourth electrode are connected in parallel to each other with reference to the second electrode. And each electrode (717, 727) connected in series to each of the third electrode and the fourth electrode.

Hereinafter, this will be described in detail.

In this example, as an apparatus for applying a voltage to a human body, in an electrode structure arranged as shown in Figs. 1A and 1B, a current is applied to a treatment part of a patient C through a hand S1 of a practitioner S Flow. Incidentally, in Figs. 4 and 5, only a part of the voltage applying apparatus is described for the sake of convenience.

Specifically, for example, the patient C can be placed on the bed 91 in a state of being laid down or turned up to receive the procedure by the practitioner S. The first electrode 4 is used in contact with a part of the body of the subject C. In this example, the first electrode 4 is used in contact with the abutment upper portion C1 of the lying speculum C. The first electrode 4 is formed on a metal transition mat. The size of the first electrode 4 is 150 mm long and 250 mm long.

On the other hand, the second electrodes 55 and 555 are used by stepping on the sole S2 of the practitioner S in the bare foot state. In this example, a plurality of electrodes connected in series with the second electrode and electrodes arranged in parallel with respect to the second electrode are arranged around the bed 91 so as to surround the subject C as shown in Fig. 4 And one side is embedded in the bottom 92 so as to be exposed on the floor surface.

In this example, the voltage generating section 2 specifically includes a circuit section 24 for reducing the AC voltage input from the AC power supply 23. The circuit portion 24 has a power supply portion 241, a transformer portion 242, a resistor portion 243, and a conversion switch portion 244. Incidentally, in this example, the AC power supply 23 is an alternating current of 100 V (50/60 Hz) for household use. The circuit portion 24 of this example has a modulation circuit 245. [

The power supply unit 241 has a receptacle 241b and a power switch 241a for connecting to an external AC power supply 23. An AC voltage of 100 V (50/60 Hz) is input to the power supply unit 241 when the power supply switch 241 a is turned on by being electrically connected to the AC power supply 23.

The primary side of the transformer unit 242 is connected to the power supply unit 241 so that the AC voltage input to the primary side is lowered to a plurality of AC voltages and is output from the secondary side. The resistor portion 243 is connected to the secondary side of the transformer portion 242. Specifically, in this example, the resistance portion 243 has a first electrical resistance 243a, a second electrical resistance 243b, a third electrical resistance 243c, and a fourth electrical resistance 243d. Incidentally, the resistor portion 243 has a capacity of about 100 ohms, and has a role of preventing a short circuit in the conversion by the conversion switch portion 244 to be described later. In this example, with the above-described configuration, the input AC voltage is lowered to an AC voltage of four stages of 36 V, 55 V, 72 V, and 90 V.

The downstream end of the resistance portion 243 is connected to the changeover switch portion 244. Specifically, the conversion switch unit 244 is a two-circuit four-contact rotary switch. The voltage generating unit 2 in the present example can select any one of the AC voltages from the above-mentioned four-step AC voltage by the converting operation of the converting switch unit 244, thereby making it possible to flow alternating currents different in strength from the four levels Do. In addition, the conversion switch unit 244 is connected to a circuit for an output display unit (not shown). In this example, in order to indicate the output voltage selected by the conversion switch unit 244, four LED lamps which are turned on in different colors according to the respective output voltages are provided. In addition, the LED lamp is configured to be lit by a rectified direct current.

The voltage generator 2 in this example may have a modulation circuit 245 for converting the frequency of the input AC voltage to a frequency lower than the frequency of the input AC voltage. Specifically, the modulation circuit 245 is connected to the downstream end of the changeover switch unit 244. The modulation circuit 245 includes a plurality of electronic relays 245a to 245d and a modulation unit 245A connected to the downstream side of each of the electronic relays 245a to 245d and having respective resistances 246a to 246d having different resistance values, I have a computer part 245C. The operation amplifier 245 B has a role of safely inputting an AC voltage to the microcomputer 245 C in order to perform the conversion of the electromagnetic relays 245 a to 245 d to the zero point of the waveform of the predetermined AC voltage selected by the conversion switch unit 244 Have.

The microcomputer 245 C controls the timing of the conversion of the electronic relays 245 a to 245 d based on the AC voltage input from the operation amplifier 245 B. In this example, the voltage generating section 2 has the modulation circuit 245, so that an AC voltage having a frequency in the range of 7 to 14 Hz can be output through the first output terminal 21 and the second output terminal 22. [

In this example, the protection circuit portion 246 is provided between the conversion switch portion 244 and the modulation circuit 245, so that the overcurrent exceeding the setting can be prevented from flowing to the human body. Specifically, the protection circuit portion 246 is provided with an indicator lamp having an electric resistance of about 5000 ohms, and is configured so that a protective function is performed with a current of 20 mA maximum.

In this example, the plurality of connecting means are disposed in the bottom 92 at the substantially central portion of the bottom surface area under the bed 91. [

Next, an example of a method of operating the voltage applying apparatus of this embodiment will be described.

The electrodes in FIGS. 2, 4, and 5 are brought into contact with the folded portion C1 of the subject C and the first electrode 4 by lying on the bed 91 in a state in which the subject C is lying on the bed. Then, the power switch 241a of the voltage generating unit 2 connected to the AC power source 23 is turned on, and the conversion switch unit 244 is turned to set the desired output voltage.

Then, the practitioner S picks up his hand at the procedure site of the patient C who is painted arbitrarily with the gel for the procedure. Then, the practitioner S in a bare foot state slowly starts to press each of the electrodes disposed at a position close to the treatment site in the sole S2, for example, the heel portion. Thereby, one voltage circuit is constituted by the voltage application device 1, the operator S and the patient C, and a predetermined current flows through the hand S1 of the operator S to the treatment part of the operator C.

The practitioner S can adjust the intensity of the current flowing to the recipient C by changing the stepping manner of each electrode according to the range, volume, etc. of the treatment site. For example, when the ground surface area and weight of the sole S2 and the corresponding electrode become large, the current flowing becomes large, and when the ground surface area and weight of the sole S2 and the corresponding electrode become small, the current flowing becomes small.

Next, the operation and effect of the voltage applying apparatus of this embodiment will be described.

1A, 1B, 4, and / or 5, the first electrode 4 is brought into contact with a part of the body of the subject C and at the same time, one of the plurality of electrodes is moved from the sole S The electric current based on the alternating-current voltage output from the voltage generating unit 2 can flow through the hand S1 of the practitioner S to the treatment site of the patient C.

Here, the voltage application device in the present invention is electrically connected to the electrode connected to the front end of the second cable 5 electrically connected to the second output terminal 22, or to each electrode connected thereto.

According to the voltage applying device, it is possible to arrange a plurality of electrodes on the floor 92 in the arrangement as shown in Figs. 1A and 1B so as to surround the circumference of the lying patient C on the bed 91. [

As a result, the operator S can perform the operation while moving between the plurality of second electrodes in accordance with each treatment part of the person C to be treated. As a result, the practitioner S eliminates the need to touch the treatment area with the hand S1 in an unreasonable posture during the procedure.

The operator S can perform the operation in a stable posture, and it is possible to change the method of pressing the electrodes even in a stable posture. Therefore, the weight and the like at the time of footing can be finely adjusted. Therefore, according to the voltage applying device 1, the practitioner S can easily adjust the current by the leg, and the degree of freedom in the procedure can be improved.

The support (112) for supporting the bottom surface or the voltage generated in the voltage generator The connector 115 is operated.

As one example, it comprises a bottom surface 111 composed of an insulator, an electrode 113 provided on the bottom surface of the bottom surface to output a current, and a cover 114 formed of a conductive material and provided on the electrode, The operator's foot is brought into contact with the cover, and current flows.

And a connector 115 to which a voltage generated by the voltage generating unit is applied to one side of a support 112 supporting the bottom surface or one side of the electrode.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to apply the same current (voltage) to the operator irrespective of the position of the practitioner by providing a movable voltage application device having a conductive material on the bottom of the insulator, the electrode and the electrode. In addition, since it is not necessary to fix the electrode device on the floor fixedly, it is possible to save space and cost of installation.
