Description

Cupping device using high frequency

The present invention relates to a cupping device used for physiotherapy, and more particularly, by installing a high frequency generating unit inside a cupping cup, it is possible to perform thermotherapy by cupping therapy as well as cupping cups. When the pressure inside the cup is increased by more than a certain level, the high frequency cupping device stops the occurrence of high frequency to prevent unnecessary power consumption and further reduces the electric shock that may occur during high frequency thermal therapy. It is about.

In general, cupping is a vacuum low pressure adsorption therapy, in which a cupping cup is placed on an affected area to be treated and a vacuum is created by evacuating air inside the cupping cup using an adsorption device.

In this cupping therapy, a part of the skin of the treatment area is sucked into the cupping cup to loosen the muscles and stabilize the nerves, and open the pores of the skin to leak out waste and toxins in the capillary tube. This is done. In addition, depending on the therapeutic purpose may be used to extract blood or pus.

On the other hand, in recent years, high frequency thermal therapy using high frequency has been performed. When high frequency thermal therapy transmits a high frequency of 100 KHz or more into the tissue of a body part, ions of the body tissue vibrate under the influence of high frequency, and friction heat is generated between the ions. This therapy uses the principle that heat is generated at a point approximately 3-5 cm deep from the skin.

Thermotherapy using high frequency acts to promote the metabolism of human tissues and the smooth removal of waste products by expanding the arteries and capillaries to increase blood flow, thus treating various pains such as neuralgia, arthralgia, muscle pain, and body care. It is a trend that has been applied to the field of fat burning treatment, wrinkle treatment for skin and the like.

In general, the high frequency equipment used in the thermal therapy using the high frequency as described above uses high voltages of approximately 50V to 300V, and transmits a high frequency current having a frequency of several hundred KHz to several tens of MHz through the predetermined high frequency electrode through the human body. Giving equipment.

At this time, the high frequency electrode used in the high frequency equipment is used in the radio frequency electrode of various sizes according to the range of the treatment area and the degree of curvature of the region, a high frequency electrode having a diameter of about 20mm-80mm is mainly used.

However, since the high frequency electrode has a very high current density in a narrow region, a slight electric shock may occur when the skin is stuttered by the current during the high frequency therapy. In particular, such an electric shock may occur more frequently in areas where the flexion of the face, knees, elbows, back, etc. exists.

Even if the electric shock phenomenon that can occur during the high-frequency thermal therapy procedure is light, the side that can cause a feeling of rejection of use, there is a way to alleviate it.

The present invention provides a configuration of a cupping device using a high frequency combined with a cupping therapy and a high frequency thermotherapy with the promotion and metabolic action of the above metabolism.

The present invention also provides a configuration of a cupping device using a high frequency that can alleviate an electric shock caused by a high frequency electrode.

The cupping device using the high frequency of the present invention having the above-described configuration, as well as the cupping therapy can be performed at the same time with the high-frequency thermal therapy, not only eliminates the inconvenience of separately performing the conventional cupping therapy and high-frequency thermal therapy, The synergistic effect of both therapies has the effect of further activating the body's metabolism.

In addition, since the high frequency is generated only when the inside of the cup is lowered below a predetermined pressure close to the vacuum state or the vacuum state, the possibility of unnecessary waste of power for high frequency generation is eliminated.

In addition, since the high frequency generation may be stopped according to the pressure inside the cupping cup when the curved part of the skin is severely contacted, a very advanced inventor who can alleviate the electric shock which was more likely to occur in the severely curved part of the prior art. will be.

The control unit 131 converts the input sensing signal of the pressure sensor into pressure data by analog-to-digital conversion (AD convert), and compares the pressure data with pressure data preset in an associated memory device, When the pressure is increased than the set pressure data, the generation of high frequency through the high frequency module 50 is stopped.

Hereinafter, the operation of the cupping device of the present invention configured as described above will be described in detail with reference to the operation state diagrams of FIGS. 1 to 4 and 5 described above.

First, in order for the user to perform cupping therapy and high frequency thermotherapy on the affected part by using the cupping device of the present invention, a dog at the bottom of the cupping cup formed by combining the upper cup 10 and the lower cup 20 of the cupping device of the present invention. Contact the sphere with the skin.

Then, the power supply line 91 connected to the power supply 90 and the cap 120 connected to the exhaust pipe 110 formed on the inhaler 100 are combined with the portion of the flange 41 of the socket 40 from the power supply 90. Power is applied to the cupping device of the present invention.

In addition, while the inhaler 100 is operated at the same time as the application of the above power, the control unit 104 of the inhaler 100 operates the pump 102 to apply a negative pressure to suck the air inside the cupping cup to the cupping cup.

Then, the air inside the cupping cup is evacuated, and the inside of the cupping cup is vacuumed. Specifically, the air inside the cupping cup is connected to the air passage 45 of the socket 40 through the through hole 52 of the high frequency module 50. Inflow into the air passage 45, the air flows into the exhaust pipe 110 formed in the cap 120 through the vent hole formed in the plug 121, the inhaler 100 along the exhaust pipe 110 Is accommodated in the air tank 101.

As described above, the operation related to the exhaust of the air inside the cupping cup is preferably performed by an automobile shutoff valve (not shown) installed in the socket 40.

Therefore, the inside of the cupping cup is vacuumed through the action of evacuating the air inside the cupping cup through the inhaler 100.

Subsequently, the user operates the switch 80 to operate the high frequency module 50 in order to perform the high frequency thermal ceramics.

Then, the activated high frequency module 50 generates a high frequency of about 100 KHz or more to transmit high frequency into the tissue of the body part through the high frequency electrode 60 and the electrode plate 61 mounted on the lower part of the high frequency module 50. The transmitted radio frequency causes heat of friction between the ions while vibrating the ions of the body tissue, so that heat is generated at a point approximately 3-5 cm deep from the skin, and high frequency thermotherapy is performed.

However, if the user does not want high frequency thermal ceramics, the switch 80 may be operated to stop the application of the power supplied to the high frequency module 50. In this case, only the usual cupping therapy using the vacuum state inside the cup cup This will be done.

In addition, during the operation of the cupping therapy, a sensing signal is generated while the pressure inside the cupping cup is sensed by the pressure sensor of the pressure sensor unit 133 of the control unit 130, and the generated sensing signal is transferred to the controller 131. The controller 131 is input to the controller 131 continuously or at least discontinuously according to a predetermined timing.

The control unit 131 converts the input sensing signal of the pressure sensor into pressure data by analog-to-digital conversion (AD convert), and compares the pressure data with pressure data preset in an associated memory device.

As a result of the comparison, the cup is inhaled by the air inside the cupping cup because of poor contact between the cup and the skin due to the presence of flexion of the face, knees, elbows, back, etc. When the internal pressure is increased above the pressure in the vacuum state or the pressure value close to the vacuum state, the increased pressure inside the cupping cup is sensed by the pressure sensor and the sensor signal is transmitted to the control unit 131, and the control unit 131 ) Generates a control signal for stopping the operation of the high frequency module 50 when the pressure inside the cupping cup is greater than a predetermined pressure, and transmits the control signal to the high frequency module driver 135, and the high frequency module driver 135. Stops the operation of the high frequency module 50 according to the received control signal.

The control of the operation of the high frequency module 50 by the control unit 130 is performed only when the switch 80 installed in the cupping cup is in the ON state, and is not performed when the switch 80 is in the OFF state. It is preferable.

Subsequently, when the switch 80 is in the ON state and the pressure inside the cupping cup is reduced back to a predetermined pressure or less and is formed in a vacuum state or a close pressure in a vacuum state, the control unit 131 performs the high frequency module 50. By generating a control signal to start the operation of the high-frequency module driving unit 135 by transmitting the high-frequency generation by the high-frequency module 50 is started again.

Therefore, since the generation of the high frequency by the high frequency module 50 is performed only when the inside of the cupping cup is below a certain pressure (a pressure value close to a vacuum state or a vacuum state), it is possible to prevent unnecessary power consumption. Of course, it is also possible to alleviate some of the electric shock phenomena that may occur in contact with the conventional curved skin surface.

In addition, the control unit 130 operates the buzzer 140 by the buzzer driving unit 136 when the inside of the cupping cup is vacuumed, thereby informing the operator that the cupping cup is in a vacuum enough to perform cupping therapy. Is preferred.

On the other hand, Figure 6 shows the cupping device of another embodiment of the present invention, the lower cup 20 'having a diameter (L2) smaller than the diameter (L1) of the opening of the lower cup 20 of the cupping device of the above embodiment. ) Is an example to which it is applied.

As shown, the cupping device of the present invention may apply a lower cup 20 having a different diameter, depending on the extent of the affected area to be treated.

In the above description, the configuration and operation of the cupping apparatus of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention can be variously modified, changed, and replaced by those skilled in the art, and such modifications, changes, and substitutions are possible. It should be interpreted as being within the scope of protection.
