Description

Induction heating type acupuncture thermoneedle {heat therapeutic apparatus with acupuncture thermoneedle}

The present invention relates to an induction heating type acupuncture fever treatment device, and more particularly, an induction heating type that can heat-treat the human body by causing the needle to self-heat by supplying electromagnetic force to the needle from the outside of the metallic needle inserted into the human body. It relates to a hot needle fever treatment device.

In general, acupuncture is one of the treatments commonly used in oriental medicine to treat or prevent the disease by acupuncture or irritation in acupuncture points. Among these acupuncture techniques, heat acupuncture therapy that improves the therapeutic effect by performing heat stimulation and acupuncture stimulation in parallel is generally practiced.

The warm needle is attached to the acupuncture points of the human body, most of the attachment of the needle burns the moxibustion rod coupled to the upper end of the needle, the heat generated by burning the moxibustion is delivered to the acupuncture points, such as acupuncture points to heat and stimulate the needle do.

However, the thermotherapy method is inconvenient to prepare a moxibustion rod separately to combine the upper end of the needle and to burn the moxibustion rod by burning.

In addition, if the heat generated from the moxibustion bar is not controlled and the length of the needle is short, it is injured by excessive heat.

In addition, there is a problem that temperature control of the needle is impossible such as the temperature of the needle portion near the moxibustion rod is high and the temperature of the needle at a place spaced apart from the moxibustion rod is low.

Another prior art for thermal therapy is a high frequency deep warmer that heats the skin and the core using high frequency electricity.

It uses high-frequency electrical energy. When high-frequency electrical energy is applied, the molecules constituting the tissues vibrate and rub against each other when the direction of current changes, causing biothermal due to rotational movement, twisting and collision movement. Heat is generated inside the human body.

In other words, unlike other current types, high-frequency currents that do not stimulate sensory and motor nerves can heat specific areas within the body tissue without causing discomfort or muscle contraction in the human body. By increasing the temperature of the cell to promote the function of the role and increases the blood flow.

However, in the case of using a high-frequency deep heat heater, the temperature rise range is about 2 ℃ and can be heated up to a depth of 10cm or more, in principle, the degree of heat is generated according to the tissue components, there is a problem that can not control the heating depth.

In other words, the temperature change that can be achieved by the high-frequency deep-heater is considerably smaller than the temperature change caused by moxibustion, the depth of stimulation cannot be controlled, and the degree of temperature rise varies according to tissues. There is a problem that does not match.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems of the prior art, by inserting a needle made of a material whose temperature is changed by self-heating by an induction magnetic field applied from the outside, the external to the object Providing an induction heating type thermal therapy fever treatment device that induces a temperature increase by applying an induction magnetic field in and maintains the elevated temperature so that thermal stimulation and stimulation by acupuncture can occur at a constant temperature as long as the part and the depth where the object is inserted. For the purpose of

In addition, it is another object of the present invention to provide an induction heating type warmth fever therapy device capable of performing thermal stimulation treatment at a desired temperature by controlling the exothermic temperature generated by saliva by adjusting the intensity of an external magnetic field applied from the outside.

In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide an induction heating type thermotherapy fever therapy device capable of thermal stimulation treatment by the fever of the saliva itself by placing the coil portion only around the saliva, any local part of the human body where the saliva is inserted.

The present invention for achieving the above object, and a power supply to which AC power is supplied. In the fever treatment device connected to the power supply and configured to include a coil portion formed in a coil shape, a magnetic heating element formed in the needle shape is located inside the coil portion, according to the magnetic field generated in the coil portion, the magnetic heating element By the self-heating is the technical gist of the induction heating type warming fever treatment device in which the temperature of the magnetic heating element is increased.

Here, the coil portion is formed with an insulating portion surrounding the entire coil portion, the coil portion is connected to the main body on which the power supply is formed so as to extend in the arm joint, the magnetic heating element is iron, duplex stainless, nickel- Copper alloy, iron-nickel alloy, palladium-cobalt alloy, iron-chromium alloy, iron-cobalt alloy is composed of one of the group consisting of, the heat generating temperature of the magnetic heating element is 30 ℃ ~ 300 ℃, the coil part 2 It is preferable that more than two are formed.

Accordingly, there is an advantage that heat stimulation and stimulation by acupuncture can be performed on a specific part of the human body by a needle whose temperature is changed by self-heating by an induced magnetic field applied from the outside.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It is a schematic diagram showing.

As shown, the fever treatment device according to the present invention is largely composed of a power supply unit 100, a cooler 110, a control unit 120, and a coil unit 130.

First, the power supply unit 100 will be described.

The power supply unit 100 is connected to an external power source, is installed in the frame-shaped main body 101 to generate an AC current of a specific frequency. In addition, the AC current generated by the power supply unit 100 is applied to the coil unit 130 by the wire 102, and according to the law of ampere around the coil by the current applied to the coil unit 130. Resulting magnetic field.

In this case, the magnetic field affects an object near or inside the coil unit 130 by radiation, and an eddy current is generated on the surface of the object by the law of lens. . Eddy currents generate heat by the resistance of the object itself. This is called joule heat, and part of the energy of the magnetic field radiated from the outside is lost to heat.

If the object has a high degree of temperature rise by an external magnetic field and has a form of a needle made of a material capable of maintaining it at a constant temperature, the above-described disadvantages of the various thermal therapy devices described above can be improved.

Therefore, the present invention means that it is possible to implement an induction heating type acupuncture fever treatment device made of a material having the above characteristics.

Here, the coil part 130 is formed of a metal through which current flows, and the coil part 130 is in contact with a human body in which the magnetic heating element 140 having a needle shape is positioned. Should be insulated from the outside, the insulating surface 150 is formed on the outer surface of the entire coil unit 130 to surround the outer surface for the purpose of insulation to seal the coil unit 130 with the outside.

On the other hand, as described above, the coil unit 130, as described above, should be located near the human body in a shape that is in contact with the human body desired for the acupuncture, the coil unit 130 is arm joint 103 to the main body 101 Is connected by).

That is, the insulation unit 150 surrounding the coil unit 130 and the main body 101 are interconnected by the arm joint 103 so that the flow of the coil unit 130 is freed by the extension of the arm joint 103. It is.

And the cooler 110 is installed in the main body 101 to prevent overheating of the coil unit 130, the control unit 120 for controlling the oscillation frequency of the power supply unit 100, etc. on the upper surface of the main body 101 Is formed.

Acupuncture and heat treatment for the human body is possible using the fever treatment device configured as described above, and the human body can rise to a high temperature in response to the external magnetic field of the coil unit 130 and maintain the material at a predetermined temperature. Such materials are, for example, duplex stainless steel, nickel-copper alloys, iron-nickel alloys, iron, and the like, which are magnetic bodies causing phase transitions at critical temperatures (Tc). to be.

When using the needle made of the material as a fever treatment described in the present invention, unlike the conventional traditional needle material stainless steel, copper, etc., it was confirmed that the needle itself can be heated by 50 ℃ or higher and the experimental results are shown in FIG. 3 is shown.

In Fig. 3, the symbols ①, ②, and ③ indicate the degree to which the needles made of iron, duplex stainless, and nickel-copper alloy materials are heated up by induction heating.

It was confirmed that the temperature rise of more than 50 ℃ in the materials, in the case of nickel-copper alloy 72% alloy (③) can be seen to maintain a constant temperature at a higher temperature than the 70% alloy (④) .

In the case of using conventional stainless steel as a conventional needle material in Figure 3 is the case of ⑤, the temperature increase effect is negligible at this time does not meet the degree of temperature change pursued by the present invention.

The temperature change of a needle made of copper, which is one of the traditional needle materials, is similar to that of stainless steel as in the case of ⑥ of FIG.

As shown in Fig. 3, the maximum temperature change is related to the properties of the material, but can be adjusted according to the purpose of use since it is a function of the strength of the external magnetic field.

Therefore, the upper limit of the temperature that can be used for the treatment can be controlled to be used so as not to cause thermal damage to human tissue.

Specifically, the thermal damage temperature is 59.7 ° C for pig skin, it can be estimated that the human body is similar. At this temperature, irreversible coagulation of proteins in cells and tissues occurs. Solidification that occurs above this temperature is the basis for tissue welding.

Dehydration, bubble formation, etc. occur at temperatures above 100 ℃ and mechanical destruction of tissues occurs at temperatures above 350 ℃.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is particularly preferable to increase the temperature of the material so that the temperature of the human body is about 45 to 50 ℃ in order to prevent mechanical destruction of the tissue.

4 is a description of the temperature (T) change occurring in the duplex stainless material near the critical temperature (Curie Temperature, Tc).

A cylindrical object placed in the center of the induction coil causes a temperature change by the induction magnetic field.

Most magnetic metals lose their magnetism at elevated temperatures. This temperature is called magnetic transition temperature (Tc).

When the temperature of the duplex stainless steel is lower than the Curie temperature, it becomes magnetic and generates a large amount of eddy current, which generates heat and raises the temperature. However, when the temperature of the duplex stainless material rises above the Curie temperature, the material loses its magnetism, and the generation of eddy current is drastically reduced.

Therefore, heat generation is eliminated and the material is cooled. When cooled below the Curie temperature, the material recovers its magnetism, causing eddy currents to be heated again.

As the process of FIG. 4 is repeated, the duplex stainless material maintains a constant temperature near the Curie temperature, so that the exothermic temperature is automatically adjusted by controlling the magnetism of the material.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the needle-shaped magnetic heating element elevated to a certain temperature by an external magnetic field can be applied to a specific part of the human body at a predetermined temperature during the procedure and the procedure, and the stimulation depth is the needle depth. Since it corresponds to the inserted depth, the operator can be arbitrarily adjusted like a general acupuncture.

FIG. 5 is a device for simultaneously stimulating several parts using a plurality of coil parts 130 according to another embodiment of the present invention, and an AC current from the power supply part 100 is distributed along the conductors 102. After being applied to the 160, it is supplied to the plurality of coil parts 130 connected to the conductive wire 102 to heat each needle, which is the magnetic heating element 140 placed inside the coil part 130. The remaining components are the same as the above embodiment, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

5 may simultaneously perform heat treatment on multiple sites.

Thus, oriental medical therapies that stimulate acupuncture points and acupuncture points using multiple needles can be performed, which is more consistent than heat treatment devices using a single needle.

In addition, the treatment that does not stimulate acupuncture points / meridians has the advantage of reducing the procedure time by stimulating a plurality of areas at the same time. Considering that the routine treatment takes about 30 minutes, simultaneous treatment is a very important concept.

The above embodiments are examples of preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be changed or modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention, which is also the scope of the present invention. Belonging to will be self explanatory.

The present invention by the above configuration, by inserting a needle made of a material whose temperature is changed by self-heating by an induction magnetic field applied from the outside to the human body, by applying an induction magnetic field to the object from the outside to cause a temperature rise By maintaining the elevated temperature, the thermal stimulation and the stimulation by the saliva can occur at a constant temperature as long as the part and the depth where the object is inserted.

In addition, there is an effect that the thermal stimulation treatment at a desired temperature can be performed by controlling the exothermic temperature generated by the saliva by adjusting the intensity of the external magnetic field applied from the outside.

In addition, any local part of the human body in which the needle is inserted has an effect that thermal stimulation treatment can be performed by heat of the needle itself by merely placing a coil part around the needle.
