Description
The present invention relates to a cold and hot stimulation apparatus, and more particularly, to install a tube in close contact with the skin by pneumatic pressure inside the band-shaped outer shell extending in the horizontal direction, the cold and hot stimulator and the cold and hot stimulus Skin-contacting cold and hot stimulation apparatus comprising a conductor for transferring cold air or heat generated from the sieve to the skin in contact with the outer skin, and a radiator for discharging the heat generated from the cold and hot stimulator to the outside of the tube It is about.
In general, thermotherapy for contacting the skin with heat is effective for redness of the skin, blood circulation enhancement, spasms of muscle spasms, and pain reduction, and cooling therapy for contacting the skin with cold reduces the inflammation or non-inflammatory rheumatism. It is known to have the effect of preventing edema during fracture, pain relief after surgery, healing of sprains or contusions or bruises, relieving muscle tension, healing of dislocation or ligament abnormalities, relieving joint wounds, and increasing skin elasticity.
Therefore, a cold and hot stimulation device or a cold and hot steaming device capable of alternately stimulating such thermotherapy and cooling therapy in a short time is known in the art.
The operation method of the cold and hot stimulation apparatus or the cold and hot steaming apparatus can be divided into two types, the first is the operation method of cooling or heating the liquid while circulating the liquid, and the second is stimulating the local area by using the Peltier element, which is a semiconductor device. There was a way.
When cooling or heating while circulating the above liquid, in the case of performing cooling therapy, the liquid is converted into a low temperature liquid of about 0 degrees Celsius using a cooler such as a compressor, and the low temperature liquid is supplied to a pad. The affected area is cooled to a low temperature for a set time, and in case of thermotherapy, the low temperature liquid is converted into a high temperature liquid of about 50 degrees Celsius by using a heater, and then the high temperature liquid is supplied to the pad. Heat the affected part to a high temperature for a set time.
The liquid circulation type cold and cold stimulation device can maintain a constant temperature, and has the advantage of stimulating cold and cold in most parts, but the addition of a pump device for circulating the liquid, a cooler such as a compressor, and a pipeline for circulating the liquid. It is difficult to miniaturize the device because it requires equipment, and it takes a lot of manufacturing cost, and because it uses the liquid for thermal circulation, it is not easy to maintain due to the leakage of liquid, so the maintenance is not easy, and the liquid is circulated directly, so it is cold Another disadvantage was that the conversion did not occur quickly.
On the other hand, when the Peltier device combines two types of metal conductors and flows a DC current to one side, one of the contacts generates heat and the temperature rises, while the other ends absorbs heat and lowers the temperature. It is used in small sized refrigerators and precision thermostats. Here, there is also a high efficiency Peltier element employing a semiconductor such as bismuth (Bi), tellurium (Te), etc., which have different electric conduction methods instead of the two kinds of metal conductors.
The stimulation method using the Peltier element is easy to miniaturize the device, and has the advantage that the device can be manufactured at a relatively low cost, but it is difficult to apply to the stimulation of the large part.
In addition, when a current is applied to the Peltier element, one side is cooled to a temperature below zero, but as one side is lowered in temperature, the other side is raised in temperature, so heat generated here Not only does the performance of the cold and hot stimulation device decrease by increasing the internal temperature, but the extreme temperature difference from both sides of the Peltier element causes condensation of the surrounding air of the Peltier element, resulting in water droplets (corrosion), which may cause corrosion or short circuit in the electronic circuit. Can cause.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides a configuration of a compact and lightweight cold and hot stimulation device.
The present invention also provides a configuration of a cold and hot stimulation device capable of preventing the possibility of water droplets of a conventional Peltier element without using a fluid such as a liquid.
In addition, it provides a configuration of a cold and hot stimulation device that can increase the adhesion to the affected skin skin.
In addition, to provide a configuration of a cold and hot stimulation device having a relatively similar appearance to the cold pack having been used conventionally to solve the rejection of wearing.
In order to achieve the above technical problem, the present invention has a constitution of a skin-cold type hot and cold stimulating apparatus, in which a tube which is in close contact with the skin by pneumatic pressure is installed inside a band-shaped outer shell extending in a horizontal direction, and inside the tube. And a heat conduction body configured to transfer a cold air or hot air generated from the cold and hot magnetic poles to the skin in contact with the outer skin, and a heat radiator to discharge the heat generated from the cold and hot magnetic poles to the outside of the tube. do.
Effects of the skin-contact cold and hot stimulation device of the present invention having the configuration as described above are as follows.
First, the body is made of a cold and hot stimulator, a conductor and a radiator formed inside the outer shell and the body is compact and light weight, excellent portability and good wearability to a local or a specific site.
Secondly, by circulating the air inside the tube without using a liquid such as the conventional one, it is possible to easily prevent maintenance of water droplets generated from Peltier elements in the past, thereby making it easy to maintain the cold and hot stimulation apparatus. .
Third, by using the pneumatic pressure to improve the adhesion to the skin provides an excellent fit to the user, and also has the effect of increasing the transmission efficiency of cold or warm air generated in the cold and hot stimulator.
Fourth, because it is used to wrap the band-like outer surface extending in the horizontal direction similar to the conventional cold pack pack attached to the affected part of the user, there is an effect that does not generate a feeling of rejection on the user.
