Description

FIELD DETECTION OUTPUT DEVICE, ELECTRIC-FIELD ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM, AND ELECTRIC-FIELD ADJUSTMENT METHOD Field of the Invention [0001]

The present invention relates to an electric field detecting and outputting apparatus which is excellent in simplicity, promptness, precision, and non-invasiveness for measuring and detecting electric field intensity and direction easily and precisely.

BACKGROUND ART [0002] Techniques and devices that use an electric field or generate an electric field are widely used. In addition, strong electric fields are generated by natural phenomena such as static electricity and thunder. However, since the electric field is invisible, it is not easy for an expert or an expert to quickly and accurately grasp the electric field of the object. It is difficult to understand and imagine the electric field of a person who is a user of a technology or a device, and who does not have expert knowledge about electric fields. For example, in a dislocation treatment apparatus that applies a high voltage to an insulated human body and performs treatment by using a biomedical stimulation action by an electric field formed around the human body, it is recognized that a therapist recognizes that an electric field is formed around the human body It is difficult.

Conventional methods for measuring electric field intensity and direction are mainly classified into the following two types. As a first method, there is known a configuration of an electric field measuring apparatus in which a probe capable of detecting an electric field is used, and a metal probe is connected to a detection system via a metal cable. In order to suppress invasiveness, there is also known a technique relating to an electric field measuring apparatus in which a probe tip portion made of electro-optic crystal is connected to a light detecting system with an optical fiber cable (see, for example, Patent Document 1). These techniques insert the tip of the probe into the electric field, and perform field detection or measurement. As a second method, a potential at a reference point is measured, a difference (voltage) with respect to a reference potential is measured with respect to a point near the measurement target, and a value obtained by dividing the difference by the distance between two points is taken as an electric field The method is known. Further, a technology relating to a detector for detecting and informing formed electric fields is known (see, for example, Patent Document 2). This technique is to determine the presence or absence of an electric field.

The potential therapeutic apparatus 200 includes a plurality of electrodes (not shown) such as an upper electrode 2001, a seat electrode 2002, and a lower electrode (ground) 2003, And a voltage generator 2004 for applying a voltage between the electrodes in addition to the electrodes. The patient is seated on the chair and puts his or her body in the electric field generated between the upper electrode 2001 and the seat electrode 2002 to be treated (see, for example, Patent Document 3). Here, the voltage generated from the voltage generator 2004 can be adjusted by a human hand.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2012-053017 Japanese Patent No. 4562587 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-177402

However, when the metal probe is inserted into an electric field, the measurement electric field is disturbed by the probe or the cable, and high invasiveness is exhibited. Herein, the invasiveness refers to a property that the measurement electric field is disturbed by external factors.

In the technique described in Patent Document 1, the invasiveness is reduced, but the configuration is complicated and the apparatus becomes large, so that it is difficult to carry, which is not convenient. Further, in the technique described in Patent Document 2, the presence or absence of an electric field is discriminated, so that the strength can not be grasped by measuring the electric field with high precision.

In addition, since the electrodes of the electric potential therapy device 200 are basically fixed in the fixed position, even if the voltage between the electrodes is constant, The intensity of the electric field applied to each part of the therapist varies, and the treatment effect is not uniform. However, until now, there has been no appropriate means for detecting and adjusting the electric field.

For example, FIG. 14 is a conceptual diagram of an experiment for measuring the electric field intensity at each part of the human body by the potential therapeutic device 200. A voltage of 4500 V generated from the voltage generator 2004 is inputted to the upper electrode 2001 and the seat electrode 2002 in a shifted phase by 180 degrees and the lower electrode 2003 is grounded have.

By using electro-optic crystal such as Bi ₁₂ SiO ₂₀ and a photoelectric sensor using an optical fiber, it is possible to detect the vicinity of the body surface of each of the human body parts (the head part, the near end, the abdomen part, the knee part and the foot part) The electric field intensity at a place about 12 cm away from the surface was measured. E and F are abdomen, G and H are knee part, I and J are foot part, and A, C, E, and F are foot parts, G and I are near the body surface, and B, D, F, H, and J are 12 cm away from the body surface.

Here, the measurement axis of the photoelectric sensor (the electric field of the component in the same direction as the axis is measured) is set in the direction of the arrow in the drawing.

The physique of the patient (P) at this time was 175 cm in height, 68 kg in body weight, 20% in body fat percentage, and 22.2 in physique index.

The results of this experiment are shown in Table 1.

As is apparent from this result, the electric field strength varies greatly depending on the position of each part of the body of the subject P and the distance from the body surface. In this experiment, only one person was the therapist. However, even when the physique and the body shape are different, it can be easily estimated that the measured electric field intensity changes.

(Embodiment 1)

1 to 6 show Embodiment 1 of the present invention. By the electric field detection output apparatus 10 is inserted into the field, intended to notify the field strength, as shown in Fig. 1, and mainly, the electrodes _{(11, 12),} a virtual ground type current detector (2) LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ as output means, a battery 4 as a power source, a switch 5 and a gripping portion 6.

As shown in Figs. 1 and ₂ , the electrodes 1 ₁ and 1 ₂ are flat plate electrodes which are arranged substantially in parallel to each other, and are set to electrode interval d and electrode area s. The electrodes 1 ₁ and 1 _{2 are} connected to the grounded current detector 2, the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ , the battery 4 and the switch 5 via the electrodes 1 ₁ and 1 ₂ (Electrode interval d, electrode area s) and shape are set so as to be accommodated in a space formed between the electrodes (not shown). 3, the electrode interval d is sufficiently smaller than the length L in which the electric field to be measured is regarded as a constant value. For example, when the length L is several tens of cm, Cm or less. The electrode area s is sufficiently small with respect to the area S in which the electric field to be measured is regarded as a constant value. For example, the area S is set to several cm 2 or less for several 10 cm 2. The electrodes E ₁ and E ₂ are connected to the electrodes 1 ₁ and 1 ₂ , respectively.

Virtual ground type current detector 2, 1, the electrodes _{(11, 12)} is provided disposed between the electrodes _{(11, 12)} to the DC current generated when a charge is an organic Or an alternating current, and is composed of a current amplifier and a detector having virtual grounding characteristics. It has an input terminal (not shown) in the virtual ground type current detector (2), the wire (E _1, E ₂₎ connected to the electrodes _{(11, 12)} are connected. In this way, the virtual ground type current detector 2, and the switch 5 to be described later state "open", and, when the value of the electric field detection output device 10 in the electric field, the electrodes (1 _1, 1 _2), Charges of different polarities are induced, and the current that occurs at that time is detected. At this time, by the virtual ground characteristics of the virtual ground type current detector (2), since the electrodes do not include the potential difference generating _{(11, 12),} the electric field detection output device 10 acts as a plate of thickness (d) . The virtual grounded current detector 2 outputs the detected current value to the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ .

Here, the virtual grounding characteristic is a characteristic of an operational amplifier (Operational Amplifier), and the voltage at the input terminals of the non-inverting input (+) and inverting input (-) is always the same, that is, . That is, a virtual ground input terminal of the type current detector 2 (the non-inverting input (+) and inverting input (-)), the electrode wire (E _1, E ₂₎ is connected up to the (1 _1, 1 ₂₎ since the electrode _{(11, 12)} does not generate a potential difference.

When the electric field to be measured is an alternating current, the virtual grounded current detector 2 calculates the effective value of the current by the following formula. Here, I _rms is the effective value of the current, f is the frequency,? Is the permittivity, s is the electrode area, and E _rms is the field strength effective value. That is, the calculated effective value I _rms of the electric current and the electric field strength effective value E _rms are proportional to each other.

[Number 1]

Further, when the electric field to be measured is a direct current, the virtual grounded current detector 2 calculates the current value by the following formula. Here, I is a current value, t is a time,? Is a permittivity, s is an electrode area, and E (t) is an electric field intensity. That is, the time integral value of the calculated current value I and electric field intensity E (t) are proportional.

[Number 2]

Output means, an electrode _{(11, 12)} is provided disposed between, is for outputting a field strength according to a current detected by the virtual ground type current detector (2), for an example, LED or liquid crystal And a device for outputting (transmitting) the electric field intensity corresponding to the detected electric current as data to an external display device. 2, the output means is an LED 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ and is disposed between the electrodes 1 ₁ and 1 _{2 and is} connected to the imaginary grounded current detector 2, And outputs the electric field intensity to the outside. In the present embodiment _{1, LED (3 1 ~3 4} ) , the electrode (1 _1, 1 ₂₎ are provided in batch are listed in one of four sides of the. Specifically, for example, when the current value detected by the virtual grounded current detector 2 is zero, none of the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ is lit, and the virtual grounded current detector 2 is turned on, The number of the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ to be turned on is increased or decreased according to the magnitude of the current value, that is, the electric field intensity. That is, the presence or absence of an electric field and the detected electric field intensity can be recognized by the number of LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ being lit. In here, Figure 2, LED (3 ₁₎ and only the light, LED (3 ₂ ~3 ₄₎ shows a (which is turned off) state that is not lit.

Cell 4, as shown in Figure 2, the electrode _{(11, 12)} is provided disposed between, for supplying power to the virtual ground type current detector (2) and the LED (3 ₁ ~3 ₄₎ For example, a coin-type battery.

Switch 5, also, is provided by disposing between the electrodes _{(11, 12),} and an "open" state of an electric field detection output device 10 prior to insertion in the electric field of the target 2, the Closed "at the end of use. It is possible to prevent the virtual ground type current detector 2 and the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ and the like from being damaged by an overcurrent caused by an electric field which is not targeted by setting the switch 5 to a " do. The switch 5 can be opened and closed by a user, and is interlocked with a power switch.

The gripper (6) is configured as a flat plate of an insulator, and installed by placing the lower side of the electrode _(12), larger than the electrode _(12), it protrudes outward.

An electric field detection output device 10 having such a configuration, for example, 3, the electrode if value in the electric field formed by the (100 _1, 100 _2), the charge on the electrode (1 _1, 1 ₂₎ that informs the field intensity detected by the light of the current and, LED (3 ₁ ~3 ₄₎ generated at the time of organic. Here, the electrodes 100 ₁ and 100 ₂ are each formed of a flat plate, and two electrodes 100 ₁ and 100 ₂ are arranged so as to form a predetermined angle. An electric field in the direction of the arrow in the figure is formed between the _two electrodes 100 ₁ and 100 ₂ .

Next, the use method and operation of the electric field detection output device 10 having such a configuration will be described.

A method of measuring the electric field strength will be described for a case where the electric field direction of the measurement object is known. Here, as shown in Fig. 3, it is assumed that the direction of the electric field (arrow direction in the figure) formed by the electrodes 100 ₁ and 100 ₂ is known.

First, the user turns the switch 5 of the electric field detection output device 10 to the " open " state. Then, in a state where the user grasps the grip portion 6, the electric field detection output device 10 is inserted into the electric field. At this time, the electric field detection output device 10 is, as shown in Figure 3, the electrode _{(11, 12),} is provided by arranging such that the normal to the electric field direction. At this time, electric charges are generated in the electrodes 1 ₁ and 1 ₂ , the current is detected by the virtual ground type current detector 2, and the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ are turned on according to the magnitude of the current. Then, the electric field strength is confirmed by the number of lights, LED (3 ₁ ~3 ₄₎ by the user.

Next, a determination method of the electric field direction will be described for the case where the electric field direction of the measurement object is unknown. Here, as shown in Fig. 3, it is assumed that the electric field direction formed by the electrodes 100 ₁ and 100 ₂ is unknown.

First, the user turns the switch 5 of the electric field detection output device 10 into the "open" state, and the electric field detection output device 10 is inserted into the electric field with the grip portion 6 held. At this time, the electrode when the direction of the electric field detection output device 10, for example, by changing, as shown in Figs. 3 to _{5, LED (3 1 ~3 4} ) have a light most (1 _1, 1 ₂ ) Is determined to be the electric field direction.

Specifically, in the case where the direction indicated by an electric field detection output device 10 in Fig. 3, electrodes _{(11, 12)} formed on, since the electric lines of force up to which the organic charge of a different polarity, for generating a current And the four LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ are turned on. If the electric field detection output device 10, in the direction indicated in Figure 4, the electrodes _{(11, 12)} formed on, because it reduces along a charge of different polarity to the electric line of force is the slope of the organic, generating a current which is an electric field The number of LEDs 31 becomes smaller than that in the case where the detection output device 10 is in the direction shown in Fig. 3, and one LED ₃₁ is turned on. If the electric field detection output device 10 in the direction shown in Figure 5, the electrodes _{(11, 12)} is not the charge is not organic, because this matches the direction of the electric field, which LED (3 ₁ ~3 ₄₎ also illuminates It does not. In this way, when the direction of the electric field detection output device 10 is set to the direction shown in Fig. 3, it is known that the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ are turned on most and the maximum electric field strength is recognized. the direction and the direction perpendicular to the electrodes _{(11, 12)} is recognized as the electric field direction. In addition, the direction perpendicular to the direction of the electric field detection output device 10 in Fig. 5 can be recognized as the electric field direction.

If the electric field detection output device 10, an electrode as shown in Fig. 3 _{(11, 12)} installed in place so that the vertical with respect to the electric field direction, regarded as the electric field is a constant value according to target The electric field formed by the electrodes 100 ₁ and 100 ₂ is not disturbed because the electrode distance d is sufficiently smaller than the distance between the electrodes 100 ₁ and 100 ₂ . That is, the invasiveness is minimized. As shown in Figure 4, the electrodes _{(11, 12)} full of a field that has, even when the installation is disposed so as to have a predetermined angle with respect to the electric field direction, is formed by an electrode (100 _1, 100 ₂₎ There is nothing to disturb you. At this time, the invasion property is greater than when the direction of the electric field detection output device 10 is set to the direction shown in Fig.

As described above, the electric field detection output device 10 by simply inserting in the electric field, the electrodes _{(11, 12),} a current detected by the virtual ground type current detector (2), LED (3 ₁ occurred in ~ 3 ₄ ), it is possible to measure and report the electric field intensity in real time, and therefore, it is excellent in simplicity and promptness. And also, the electrode configured in a flat plate _{(11, 12)} is installed in the space formed by oppositely disposed, and the virtual ground type current detector (2), LED (3 ₁ ~3 _4), a battery 4, Since the switch 5 is housed, even if the electric field detection output device 10 is inserted into the electric field, the measurement electric field is not disturbed and the precision and non-invasiveness are excellent. Therefore, the electrodes 1 ₁ and 1 ₂ can be miniaturized to such an extent that the virtual grounded current detector 2, the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ , the battery 4, and the switch 5 can be accommodated . That is, the electric field detection output device 10 can be inserted into a pocket, attached to a garment, made portable at all times, or downsized to a size that can be mounted on a finger tip.

Since the electric field intensity proportional to the detected electric current can be recognized by the number of lights of the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ , the electric field can be measured with high precision and displayed with high accuracy. Therefore, .

It is also possible to recognize the direction of the electric field by measuring the electric field intensity by changing the direction of the electric field detection output device 10 in the electric field of interest and comparing the number of lighting of the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ .

Furthermore, since the electric field detection output device 10 can be taken out and measured in the state of holding the grip portion 6 composed of an insulator of low dielectric constant, it is excellent in simplicity and non-invasiveness.

The electric field detection output device 10 having such an effect can generate an electric field, measure the electric field intensity in the device using the electric field, or grasp the distribution of the electric field. Specifically, for example, it is possible to measure the electric field intensity or to grasp the distribution of the electric field in the treatment, the living, and the operation under the use of the medical device or the treatment device including the potential therapeutic device, have. In addition, it is possible to measure the electric field intensity of an object including a plastic molding or powder containing excess static electricity, or the user's body, and to grasp the distribution of the electric field. At this time, as shown in Fig. 6, the possibility of electric shock is set to "danger level", "warning level" or the like in accordance with the measured electric field intensity, and when the electric field strength is equal to or larger than the predetermined value, You can.

Particularly, by detecting a condition in which the user's body is excessively charged, it becomes possible to grasp the risk of a lightning stroke or a static electricity shock (pain).

Further, since the electric field detection output device 10 is of a card type, it can be easily carried, for example, because it can be inserted into a user's pocket or mounted on clothes. Therefore, the electric field detection output device 10 is always carried and the electric field can be easily measured at any time. That is, for example, since the electric field can be easily measured at any time, even in the treatment, the living, and the work under use of the medical device or the treatment device in which the high electric field is generated, the simplicity is further improved.

That is, the accuracy and non-invasiveness of the electric field detection output device 20 are further improved.

Therefore, the direction and the electric field distribution of the electric field on the electric field detection output device 60 can be more easily grasped by the distribution of the number of lights of the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ of each unit. That is, since the direction of the electric field and the electric field distribution become noticeable, the breakthrough of the electric field distribution is remarkably improved.

(Embodiment 6)

Fig. 11 shows a schematic block diagram of a sixth embodiment of the present invention. The electric field adjustment system 70 is roughly divided into a potential treatment device 71 and an electric field detection output device 72.

The potential treatment apparatus 71 is further provided with a receiving means 711 and a voltage adjusting means (adjusting means) 712 in a conventional potential potential therapeutic apparatus 200. [

The receiving means 711 is a device for receiving signals and transmitting them to the voltage adjusting means 712 by a communication method such as infrared rays, sound waves, radio waves, or wire communication. The reception means 711 receives the signal transmitted from the electric field detection output device 72, converts the content (current value) into an electric signal, and transfers the electric signal to the voltage adjustment means 712.

The voltage adjusting means 712 adjusts the voltage generated by the voltage generator 2004 on the basis of the current value received from the receiving means 711.

The voltage adjusting means 712 has a memory function, an arithmetic function, an input function, and a control function.

The memory function is constituted by a memory device such as a flash memory. In the sixth embodiment, in particular, a predetermined electric field value, information on the physique / body shape of the past physician (height, sitting height, weight, And the voltage intensity (adjusted value) applied at that time is stored.

Further, after the treatment is performed, the physique / body shape information of the patient to be treated and the adjusted voltage intensity are stored in association with each other.

The input function is an information processing device such as a notebook computer or a portable terminal such as a smart phone and is used for inputting information on the physique and body shape of the patient to be treated with respect to the memory function before starting treatment.

The arithmetic function is a device composed of a central processing unit (CPU). The calculation function obtains the electric field strength, that is, the electric field strength effective value E _rms or the electric field strength E (t), from the current value received from the receiving means 711 based on the equation 1 or 2. Then, the electric field intensity is compared with a predetermined electric field value stored in the memory function to determine the presence or absence of a difference. If there is a difference, a voltage adjustment instruction is issued to the control function so as to adjust the voltage to eliminate the difference. Here, the elimination of the difference includes not only the case where the two are completely matched but also the case where the difference falls within the range of the error stored in the memory function in advance. Before the treatment is started, it is searched whether the memory of the physiotherapist having the physique / body shape that approximates or agrees with the inputted physiotherapist's body shape is in the memory function, and if it is present, the voltage intensity , A voltage adjustment instruction is issued to adjust the control function to the voltage intensity.

The control function is a circuit for controlling the voltage generator 2004 based on the voltage adjustment instruction transferred from the arithmetic function. Here, when there is no voltage adjustment instruction from the arithmetic function (for example, in the case where there is no approximate or coincident memory with the physique / body shape of the patient to be stored in the memory function), the voltage generator 2004).

The voltage regulating means 712 repeats the above process until there is no difference between the electric field strength and the predetermined electric field value.

Next, the electric field detection output device 72 will be described.

Different from the electric field detection output device 72, an electric field detection output device 10 of Embodiment 1 of the present embodiment 6, the output means is non-LED (3 ₁ ~3 _4), the transmitter (transmission means) 721 And the other constituent elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and a description thereof will be omitted.

The transmitting portion 721 is a portion for transmitting a signal to the receiving means 711 by a communication method such as infrared rays, sound waves, radio waves, or wire communication, and is composed of a function of transmitting signals and devices such as an infrared ray emitting portion .

That is, when the electric field detection output device 72 detects the electric field, the signal transmitter 721 transmits a different signal to the receiving means 711 according to the strength of the electric field.

Next, the operation of the sixth embodiment and the electric field adjusting method will be described with reference to Figs. 12 and 13. Fig.

The switch 5 of the electric field detecting and outputting device 72 is opened and the electric field is detected at the position of 0-10 cm from each part of the body such as the head part, The device 72 is left stationary (step S1).

Next, the physique / body information (height, sitting height, weight, and degree of obesity) of the subject person P is stored in the memory function by the input function of the potential manipulation device 71 (step S2).

The therapeutic person P is seated in the potential potential therapy device 200 and the potential potential treatment device 71 is activated to apply the voltage between the electrodes by the voltage generator 2004 (step S3).

The arithmetic function of the voltage adjusting means 712 of the potential adjusting apparatus 71 searches for whether there is data of a physique / body shape that approximates or matches physique / body information of the subject person P input to the memory function (Step S4). If it is present, a voltage adjustment instruction is issued to the control function so as to adjust the voltage to the value of the voltage intensity stored in the memory function (step S5). On the other hand, if not present, a voltage adjustment instruction is issued to apply the set voltage (step S6).

In steps S5 and S6, the voltage generator 2004, which has received the voltage adjustment instruction, adjusts the voltage to apply the voltage according to the instruction.

The electric field detection output device 72 detects the electric field applied to the body of the subject P to be treated.

And outputs a signal according to the magnitude of the electric current from the transmission portion 721 of the electric field detection output device 72.

The potential treatment apparatus 71 receives a signal from the receiving means 711 (Step S7) and measures the electric field intensity by the calculating function of the voltage adjusting means 712 (Step S8). The control function of the voltage adjusting means 712 determines whether or not the electric field strength is different from a predetermined electric field value stored in the memory function of the voltage adjusting means 712 (Step S9) The voltage generator 2004 adjusts the voltage generated by the voltage generator 2004 (step S10) so as to be eliminated (similarly, or within a predetermined error range).

When the electric field intensity does not differ from the predetermined electric field value by the adjustment of the voltage, the voltage adjusting means 712 stops the adjustment of the voltage and the voltage generator 2004 applies the adjusted voltage.

When the treatment is performed for the desired time, the potential treatment device 71 is stopped (steps S11 and S12), and the switch 5 of the electric field detection output device 72 is closed. At this time, the physique / body type information of the patient to be treated and the adjusted voltage intensity are stored in association with the memory function (step S13).

According to the sixth embodiment, since the electric field applied to the human body can always be maintained at a predetermined intensity irrespective of the physique and the body shape of the subject P, It is possible to obtain a stable therapeutic effect.

Although the embodiments 1 to 6 of the present invention have been described above, the specific configurations are not limited to the respective embodiments 1 to 6, and even if the design is changed within the range not departing from the gist of the present invention, . For example, in the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 5, by the number of lit LED (3 ₁ ~3 _4), has been described by that possibly the output if the electric field intensity, the number of the LED (3) is four, Needless to say, it is not limited. By increasing the number of the LEDs 3, the electric field strength can be notified more accurately. Needless to say, the electric field intensity can be output in a recognizable manner by the luminance of one LED 3. [

The output means is not limited to the LEDs 3 ₁ to 3 ₄ and the transmitting portion 721 but may be a digital display device capable of outputting a current value or an electric field intensity as it is, an audio output means including a speaker, An oscillation type output means for outputting an electric signal or an electric field intensity to the user such as a wireless communication to an external display device or a recording device or an output means by wire communication.

Also, a back electrode _{(11, 12)} has the shape of, the shape that is not limited to square, to maintain a non-invasive, and even other shapes such as a circle. In the case where a plurality of electrodes 1 are arranged in an array as shown in Embodiment Mode 5, it is preferable that a shape capable of shortening the distance from the electrode 1 of the contacting unit, for example, If the shape has a convex portion such as a shape, the interference between the units becomes strong, and the measurement accuracy is lowered.

In Embodiment 6, the adjusting means is not limited to the voltage adjusting means 712, and may be, for example, an electrode adjusting means for adjusting the position and angle of the upper electrode 2001 to an appropriate state, The electric field intensity applied to the body of the subject person P may be changed.

As an example of means for changing the position of the upper electrode 2001 and adjusting the electric field strength, for example, the upper electrode 2001 and the backrest of the potential therapeutic device 200 are separated, And has a moving function of varying the direction. The distance between the electric field detection output device 72 and the subject P is adjusted by mounting the electric field detection output device 72 on the upper electrode 2001 and moving the upper electrode 2001 up and down, The strength can be adjusted. Here, the movement of the upper electrode 2001 can be automatic or manual, but in the case of automatic operation, the position is controlled in conjunction with the calculation function, and the position of the upper electrode 2001 after the change P in association with the information on the physique / body shape and the voltage after the adjustment, the electric field adjustment efficiency can be improved.

As the means for changing the angle of the upper electrode 2001 to adjust the electric field intensity, an electric field detection output device 71 is mounted on the upper electrode 2001, for example, The electric field strength can be adjusted by adjusting the inclination (angle) of the electric field detecting and outputting device 71 with respect to the subject P by having the tilting function of the heel of the subject. In this case as well, the tilting function controls the angle in cooperation with the arithmetic function, and associates the angle of the upper electrode 2001 after the change with the information on the physique / body shape of the subject P and the adjusted voltage, By storing, it becomes possible to make the electric field adjustment efficient. In order to realize the moving function and the tilting function, a small-sized motor, hydraulic pressure, air pressure and the like are conceivable. The method of adjusting the position and angle of these electrodes and the voltage adjusting means 712 may be used in combination.

The potential treatment device 71 is not provided with the receiving means 711 and the adjusting means 712. That is, as the conventional potential treatment device 200, the electric field detection output device 72 is provided with electric field A digital display device capable of outputting the intensity as it is may be provided so as to grasp the electric field intensity and adjust the voltage of the electric potential therapy device 200 so as to have a predetermined electric field value by a human hand.
