DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

1A and 1B illustrate an embodiment of an electrode terminal or a power source for the flow of microcurrent that can be applied to an ornament according to the present invention.

An electrode terminal, a power supply, and a control device may be installed or attached to the ornament to induce the flow of microcurrent to the ornament according to the present invention. The electrode terminal refers to a terminal that contacts the human body to allow a current to flow into the human body, and the power source may be a device such as a battery for supplying current. And the control device is a device for controlling the current flowing through the electrode terminal may be a device such as a microprocessor, for example. Each will be described below.

The electrode terminal may be composed of an output array terminal TO and an input array terminal TI, and the power supply may be an array power source S. In the present specification, the arrangement in the array terminal or the array power supply means a structure in which a plurality of units forming the same or similar function forms one aggregate so that the function of the unit can be increased quantitatively according to the number of units. Each unit belonging to an array has the same function and can be connected in parallel or in series with each other.

The input array terminal TI and the output array terminal TO are respectively a plurality of input terminal units TI1, TI2, TI3, ..., TIN and output terminal units TO1, TO2, TO3,. ..., TOM and the array power supply S connecting the input array terminal TI and the output array terminal TO may include a plurality of power units S1,..., SL. As the independent output terminal and the input terminal, the magnetic pole input terminal DI and the magnetic pole output terminal DO may be installed. The stimulus input terminal DI and the stimulus output terminal DO are for supplying a current large enough to be perceived by the user and are not necessarily installed.

The current supplied from the power supply units S1, ..., SL is adjusted to an appropriate size through the output array terminal TO and the input array terminal TI, and is directed to a specific part of the human body R1, ..., RP. Can flow. Each of the power units S1, ..., SL may independently supply fine currents of the same or different magnitudes and may be independently connected to the output array terminal TO or the input array terminal TI. The power units S1, ..., SL may determine the magnitude of the fine current flowing through one terminal unit through various connection methods.

Each unit of the input terminal units (TI1, TI2, TI3, ..., TIN) or the output terminal units TO1, TO2, TO3, ..., TOM may have an area contact structure. It can be determined based on the part in contact with the human body, as opposed to the point or line contact.To form an area contact structure, each unit can be made into a polygon or a circle, and the cross-sectional area of the conductor through which the current flows in or out. Compared to the case where the cross-sectional area of the terminal which can be in contact with the human body is large enough, for example, it refers to the case where it becomes 5 times or more.

Alternatively, the input array terminal TI or the output array terminal TO may be made to have an area contact structure. Each terminal unit may be distributed over a predetermined area for an area contact structure of the input array terminal T1 or the output array terminal TO. For example, each terminal unit may be distributed along a straight line or even inside a polygon at equal intervals.

The area contact structure has the advantage that the human body current can flow through the meridians while allowing the microcurrent to easily enter the acupuncture points. Or at least a portion of the acupuncture points adjacent to the acupuncture points and a current to flow to the acupuncture points.

The array power source S is for controlling the amount of current supplied to each terminal unit and may include at least one power unit. The number of power supply units is not particularly limited and a separate means for adjusting the amount of current in the array unit S can be made. The arrangement of the terminals in this way has the advantage that the microcurrent is conducted inside the human body on the basis of the area so that the microcurrent can flow to a wide area inside the human body and at the same time, the human current can be easily controlled.

Each power supply unit S1, ..., SL may have one or more output terminal units TO1, TO2, TO3, ..., TOM or one or more input terminal units TI1, TI2, TI3, ..., TIN). The power supply units S1, ..., SL are connected to the output terminal units TO1, TO2, TO3, ..., TOM or the input terminal units TI1, TI2, TI3, ..., TIN. Accordingly, the magnitude of the human body current flowing through a specific part of the human body (R1, ..., RP) can be determined.

Output terminal units TO1, TO2, TO3, ..., TOM or input terminal units TI1, TI2, TI3, ... on the respective power supply units S1, ..., SL for adjustment of the human body current. , TIN) may be connected in the form of a relay or switching structure. By allowing the human body current to flow in the form of a relay or a switch, it is possible to intermittently stimulate the human body.

Referring to FIG. 1B, the micro current flowing through the human body may be controlled by the micro controller M. FIG. The microcontroller M controls the connection state of each unit by controlling the connection relays RE1, RE2, RE3 or switches connected to the input array terminal TI, the array power supply S, and the output array terminal TO, respectively. Can be. Under the control of the microcontroller M, a microcurrent flows to a specific portion R of the human body through the output array terminal TO and the input array terminal TI. The magnitude of the microcurrent or the flow structure of the microcurrent may vary depending on how each unit of the power supply array S is connected to each unit of the input array terminal TI or the output array terminal TO. According to the method controlled by the microcontroller M, whether the microcurrent is flowing in the human body may be detected by the feedback circuit P. FIG.

The input array terminal TI and the output array terminal TO may be in contact with the human body on an area basis, respectively, thereby allowing a microcurrent to flow in a wide part of the human body. At the same time, it is possible to easily control the size of the microcurrent flowing through the human body and allow the microcurrent to flow at regular intervals. The relay connection or switching to each terminal unit can be regulated by the microcontroller M and the connection relays RE1, RE2, RE3 may not be installed as necessary. The switching to each terminal connection can be controlled in a manner that is automated by the microcontroller M in a programmatic manner.

In this way, the microcurrent flows to the human body by using the input array terminal TI and the output array terminal TO by the connection relays RE1, RE2, and RE3 or by switching the human body current to a specific part R of the human body. It has the advantage that the period of can be adjusted. In addition, the flow of the human body current using the array power source (S) has the advantage that the magnitude of the human body current can be easily adjusted. If necessary, the size of the microcurrent can be finely adjusted by varying the contact area of each unit of the input array terminal TI or the output array terminal TO. In other words, the size of the input array terminal TI or the output array terminal TO may be different from each other, and thus, the area in contact with the human body may be different for each unit.

As illustrated in FIG. 1B, a stimulus input terminal DI and a stimulus output terminal DO may be formed to detect that a microcurrent flows in the human body at regular cycles. The magnetic pole input terminal DI and the magnetic pole output terminal DO may consist of one or two terminals and may be connected to the array power source S. The magnetic pole input terminal DI and the magnetic pole output terminal DO are intended to allow a relatively large current to flow into the human body at regular intervals. For example, a relatively large microcurrent may flow through the stimulus input terminal DI and the stimulus output terminal DO to remind the user that the microcurrent is flowing to the human body. The magnitude of the current flowing through the stimulus input terminal DI and the stimulus output terminal DO may be adjusted in the array power source S.

The input array terminal TI, the output array terminal TO, the array power supply S, the stimulus input terminal DI, or the stimulus output terminal DO may be formed in various ways and are not limited to the embodiments shown. In addition, unless specifically mentioned herein, the electrode or the terminal may be a single electrode or a single terminal or may be made of a structure of the array electrode or the array terminal. Alternatively, a single terminal and an array terminal may be used at the same time. If an array terminal is used, the connection to each unit can be controlled by a relay or an appropriate changeover switch.

As described above, when the input terminal unit or the output terminal unit each has an area contact structure in the control structure according to the present invention, the plurality of input terminal units or output terminal units are formed in a distributed structure. In contrast, when each terminal unit does not have an area contact structure, the entire terminal unit is advantageously distributed in a distributed structure. In this specification, the dispersed structure means that the entire terminal unit is distributed at uniform intervals or non-uniform intervals over a predetermined area without being made into a cable structure by one covering.

Hereinafter, another embodiment of the area contact structure will be described.

Referring to (a) of FIG. 1C, each unit TI ₁₁ , ..., TI _KM , ..., TO ₁₁ , ..., TO of the input array terminal TI or the output array terminal TO _LN ) may be arranged in the horizontal and vertical directions. Arranging the terminal units of the input array terminal TI or the output array terminal TO in the form of a rectangle or a polygon has the advantage of increasing the contact area to the human body. However, since the array power source S is not related to the contact with the human body, the array power source S may be arranged in a form similar to the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A. Connection terminals P ₁₁ , ... P _KM , P _{11 ,} ... P _LN corresponding to the respective terminal units can be formed at both ends of the input array terminal TI and the output array terminal TO The connection terminal formed in the power source S may be electrically connected using a switching element. As already explained above, the magnetic pole input terminal DI and the magnetic pole output terminal DO may be formed at appropriate positions as necessary.

Referring to (b) of FIG. 1C, each terminal unit 12 of the input array terminal or the output array terminal may be made by coating the terminal unit at regular intervals on the substrate 11 of an insulator or dielectric material. . If necessary, a thin film 13 of a dielectric material may be applied or coated on the dielectric terminal unit 12. The thin film 13 of dielectric material improves contact with the human body while protecting the conductive terminal unit 12.
