Description

Blood circulator using microcurrent}

The present invention relates to a blood circulation device using a microcurrent, and more particularly, a blood circulation device using a microcurrent that promotes blood circulation by stimulating the user's soles by pressing or passing a microcurrent through the user's Aceles tendon. It is about.

The feet are connected to the internal organs of the body and are the places where nerves are gathered and show a close reaction relationship with each part of the body. Therefore, stimulating the feet is like touching the organs of the five organs.

In addition, since the feet are the farthest from the heart, it is difficult only for the heart to circulate the blood down to the toes. Because of this, waste products accumulate and blood circulation is not good, leading to various diseases. In this case, if you massage your feet, blood circulation becomes smooth and health is maintained.

On the other hand, microcurrent refers to a small amount of current and generally refers to a current of 1000μA, that is, less than 0.001A. When 1000 batteries of this level are collected, it refers to a current of very weak intensity that is similar to one AA battery. . When a minute electric current of a size similar to such a bioelectricity flows through the body, cells are activated, so that wound healing is accelerated, pain is controlled, and blood circulation is improved.

In view of this point, in general, prior art techniques for electrically stimulating the soles of the feet have been developed by mixing conductive rubbers or metals in the footstool and supplying microcurrents.

However, most of the developed technologies are limited to passing microcurrents to the soles of the feet. For this reason, it is only expected to serve as a device for blood circulation, and there is no technology in which the Achilles tendon located on the ankle is pressed and massaged, or stimulation is performed using microcurrents.

Stimulation of the Achilles tendon prevents prostate incontinence and is effective for pelvic correction. At the same time, it has the advantage of relieving fatigue from accumulating easily while walking, and alleviating stiffness in ankles and calves.

Therefore, there is a need for a blood circulation device in this regard.

Unlike this, the acupressure protrusion 352 is formed of ceramic, etc. By using the electrode, it is possible to provide a microcurrent through the electrode layer.

The acupressure protrusions 352 may be evenly distributed to correspond to the entire area of the sole of the foot, but differently from this, the acupressure protrusions 352 may be intensively distributed only to the area associated with the sole of the foot and a part of the body. For example, the acupressure protrusion 352 is formed intensively on the heel portion of the sole of the foot corresponding to the gonads of the body, or the acupressure protrusion 352 formed in the corresponding region is longer than the length of the acupressure protrusion 352 formed in another region. By forming, it is possible to pressurize the foot of the area with higher intensity.

The contact pad part 360 supplies a microcurrent to the user's Achilles tendon to stimulate the user's Achilles tendon, and is formed to allow the user's Achilles tendon to contact a certain area inside the contact plate 330 to which the user's Achilles tendon is in contact.

The contact pad part 360 may be further provided with a protrusion to pressurize the Achilles tendon, such as the acupressure protrusion 352 formed on the footrest part 310, and the protrusion is formed of a material having electrical conductivity. desirable.

It is formed, and is connected to the body portion 100.

The body insertion part 400 is preferably formed of an electrically conductive material to supply a microcurrent.

The electrode part 500 is for promoting blood circulation through microcurrent stimulation by contacting the user's skin, and is connected to the body part 100.

The electrode part 500 includes a first electrode part 510 and a second electrode part 520.

The first electrode part 510 is for supplying microcurrent to the palm or sole of the palm, and is formed in a plate shape of an electrically conductive material and is connected to the body part 100.

The second electrode part 520 is for supplying microcurrent to the ankle, thigh, and forearm, and is formed in the shape of a plate or strip made of a flexible material having electrical conductivity, and is connected to the body part 100.

The micro current supply unit 600 includes a micro current generation unit 610, an input unit 620, and a power supply unit 630.

The microcurrent generation unit 610 generates and supplies a microcurrent to the acupressure protrusion 252, the contact pad unit 260, the body insertion unit 400, and the electrode unit 500. It is formed so as to be inserted into the inner space and is inserted into the body part 100.

The microcurrent generator 610 includes a DAC for converting a digital signal output from the controller 270 in charge of the overall control role of the system into an analog signal, an OP Amp for converting the output current of the DAC into a voltage, and the like. .

The treatment using microcurrent shows a great effect on tissue damage recovery of muscles and nerves by treating pain while using a low current of uA, which is almost impossible for the human body to feel.

The input unit 620 controls the operation of the microcurrent generation unit 610 and supports a frequency setting mode, a waveform setting mode, an operation time setting mode, and the like.

The power supply 630 supplies +15V and -15V to the OP amp. However, it is not limited to +15V and -15V as described above, and can be appropriately adjusted by the user.

An SMPS capable of supplying +5V to the control unit 270 (MCU) and the DAC can be applied. The digital output from the MCU port is converted to an analog output through the DAC and OP amp. This allows the output to be changed again by resistors connected to the rotary selector. The waveform mode, frequency, operation time, etc. are displayed on the LCD display. You can make it appear.

As described above, the blood circulation device 10 using the microcurrent uses the protruding support 220 of the footrest part 210 and the acupressure protrusion 252 of the power generation electrode part 250 to provide the entire area of the sole and the reproductive organs of the sole. It is possible to promote blood circulation by pressing and massaging the area corresponding to or by supplying a microcurrent.

In addition, by providing a pressure and massage effect to the Achilles tendon by the contact pad part 260 and at the same time providing stimulation of microcurrent, stretching the calf or relaxing the hamstring muscle, correcting the front and rear balance of the pelvis and strengthening the iliopsoas muscles. It has the advantage of maintaining left-right balance and preventing prostate incontinence.
