In more detail, it relates to a potential treatment device for facial stimulation designed to be applied to the face. will be.

As a medical device, an electric potential therapy device is a device that induces various biological activities, such as improving blood circulation, by applying an electric field by alternating current or direct current high voltage to the human body. There are various methods of electrical therapy for bioactivity, local stimulation, etc., but electric potential therapy applies an electric field by high voltage to an insulated body instead of direct electricity, thereby producing biological stimulation that appears due to the potential/electric field generated around the body. It is a guided therapy.

When an electric field by high voltage is applied to an insulated body, an electric field is formed inside and outside the human body due to the potential difference with the surroundings, and various biological stimulations, activities, etc. can be induced therefrom. The resulting effects include various therapeutic effects, including improvement of blood circulation. An example of such a potential treatment device is disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-0514341, etc.

However, the conventional electric potential treatment device had a structural problem in that it was difficult to intensively apply stimulation to a specific body part desired by the user. For example, known electric potential therapy devices can apply electric field stimulation to easily accessible body parts such as the back and shoulders, but it is very difficult to apply stimulation to body parts such as the head or face. In addition, the head and face are more sensitive to stimulation and various sensory organs such as the eyes, nose and mouth are concentrated, so it is necessary to control stimulation more closely for each area, but such control has traditionally been difficult.

In addition, the facial stimulation control module 400 includes a plurality of devices arranged in different face division areas (101 to 104, 101a to 104b) according to an operation sequence that changes the positions of the face division areas (101 to 104, 101a to 104b). The potential treatment electrode pads (201 to 204, 201a to 204b) can be operated one by one.

Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of the present invention will be described in more detail based on one embodiment of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 1, the overall structure of the electric potential treatment device 1 will be described as follows. The electric potential treatment device 1 includes a mask body 100, an arm 20 connected to the mask body 100 and formed with a joint 21 supporting the mask body 100, and a body to which the arm 20 is fixed. (30) may be included. As described above, electrode pads for potential treatment (see 201 to 204 and 201a to 204b in FIG. 2) are placed in the facial division area (see 101 to 104 and 101a to 104b in FIG. 3) formed on the inside of the mask body 100. do.

The arm 20 serves to support the mask body 100. The arm 20 is formed with a plurality of joints 21, so that the mask body 100 can be fixed at various angles and the direction the mask body 100 faces can also be changed. A detachable connection portion 12 is formed at the end of the arm 20, so that the mask body 100 and the arm 20 can be separated or combined in a detachable manner.

The detachable connection portion 12 is not limited to this, but may be, for example, a structure that is detachable through screw connection using a coupling screw 12a. The mask body 100 and the arm 20 can be coupled by fixing the coupling screw 12a through the detachable connection portion 12 to the connection groove (see 100c in FIG. 2) of the mask body 100.

The arm 20 may have a plurality of joints 21 to facilitate changing the position of the mask body 100. Arm 20 can be operated manually or automatically. The joint 21 of the arm 20 may be formed to maintain its position after rotation when no other manipulation is applied.

The body 30 may serve to fix and support the arm 20 and to house the power module 300 and the facial stimulation control module 400. For example, the body 30 may be formed in the form of a cabinet equipped with a circuit structure such as the power module 300 and the facial stimulation control module 400, and a driving structure for driving the arm 20. there is.

The power module 300 is disposed on the body 30, but can supply power to the mask body 100 by forming a power line (not shown) inside the arm 20. Therefore, high voltage can be induced in the electrode pads 201 to 204 and 201a to 204b for potential treatment using a power supply circuit including such a power line. The power line 13 shown in FIG. 1 may be an end structure of such a power line, and may be connected to the power line connection terminal 120 formed on the mask body 100 to supply power.

Figure 3 is a diagram showing a method of attaching and detaching the electrode pad from the rear of the mask body of Figure 2, and Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure and power supply method of the electrode pad of Figure 3. Figure 3(a) shows the back side corresponding to Figure 2(b), and Figure 3(b) shows the back side corresponding to Figure 2(c).

The structure of the mask body 100 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the mask body 100 may be formed in a shape corresponding to the human face. The mask body 100 is formed to cover a person's face.

Figure 2 (a) shows the front side of the mask body 100, and Figures 2 (b) and (c) show the back side of the mask body 100 (the back side is the same as the inside because it is the side in contact with the face). It shows. In Figure 2 (b), a first form of the facial division area and the electrode pad for potential treatment corresponding thereto is shown, and in Figure 2 (c), the face division area and the second form of the electrode pad for electric potential treatment corresponding thereto are shown. The shape is shown. As shown, the second form may have a more detailed structure than the first form. Matters related thereto will be described in detail later.

At least a portion of the mask body 100 may be connected by a hinge 100b so that it can be folded according to the curve of the face. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, a cut portion 100a is formed to divide the mask body 100, and a hinge 100b is placed between the cut portions 100a, so that a portion of the mask body 100 is It can be formed to be folded. With this folding structure, the mask body 100 can be mounted in closer three-dimensional contact with the person's face.

A strap 130 that surrounds the back of a person's head may be disposed on the mask body 100. If the mask body 100 is worn on the face and secured by wrapping the strap 130 around the back of the head, the mask body 100 can be stably fixed to the face. For example, the strap 130 may be made of an elastic material.

As shown in Figure 2 (a), a power line connection terminal 120 connected to the above-described power line 13 may be formed on the front of the mask body 100, and a power line may be formed inside the mask body 100. An internal power line (not shown) may be formed that receives power from the connection terminal 120 and provides it to the power supply holder (see 110 in FIG. 3). The power supply circuit described above may be formed including the power line inside the arm described above and the internal power line inside the mask body.

Referring to FIG. 3, the power supply holder 110 includes a conductive terminal 210 formed on an electrode pad for electric potential treatment (illustrated by 201 in (a) of FIG. 3 and 201a in (b) of FIG. 3). Since they are combined and conduct electricity, high voltage can be induced without problems by providing power to the electrode pads for potential treatment (see 201 to 204 and 201a to 204b in FIG. 2).

As shown in FIG. 3, the facial division areas 101 to 104 and 101a to 104b are formed by dividing the inner surface of the mask body 100 (same as the rear surface described above) to contact different local areas of the face. . In FIG. 3 (a), the first form of the face division areas 101 to 104 is shown, and in FIG. 3 (b), the second form of the face division areas 101a to 104b are shown side by side.

The above-described power supply holder 110 is disposed in each of the facial division areas 101 to 104 and 101a to 104b. The power supply holder 110 includes an internal power line (not shown) of the mask body 100, a power line connection terminal of the mask body 100 (see 120 in FIG. 2), and a power line (see 13 in FIG. 1). ), etc. can be connected to the power module (see 300 in FIG. 1) through the power supply circuit described above. Therefore, power can be individually provided to each of the plurality of facial division areas (101 to 104, 101a to 104b) using the power supply holder 110.

The facial division areas (101-104, 101a-104b) are, in particular, the frontal area in contact with the forehead [101 in Fig. 3(a) and 101a, 101b in Fig. 3(b)] and the temporal area located on both sides of the frontal area [ 102, 103 in Figure 3 (a) and 102a, 102b, 103a, 103b in Figure 3 (b)] and the lower facial area located below the frontal area [204 in Figure 3 (a) and 204a in Figure 3 (b) , 204b] are separated from each other. Therefore, electrode pads are placed separately in the frontal part (the part with the forehead), temporal part (the part with the temples next to the forehead), and lower face (the part with the nose and mouth) of the corresponding face, and local and selective Electric field stimulation can be applied by carefully adjusting the area.

For example, the facial segmentation area is divided into the frontal area 101, the temporal area 102, 103, and the lower facial area 104 relatively widely, as shown in Figure 3 (a) (the first form described above). It can be configured in the following form. At this time, the temporal areas 102 and 103 may be formed in a portion that is folded on the outside of the mask body 100 and in close contact with the temporal region.

However, the facial segmentation area can be further subdivided. For example, as shown in Figure 3 (b) (the second form described above), a pair of subdivided frontal areas 101a, 101b, and a pair of further subdivided temporal areas on both sides of the frontal areas 101a, 101b. It may be further divided into (102a, 102b, 103a, 103b), and a pair of lower facial areas (104a, 104b) divided around the nose and mouth. In this way, the inner surface of the mask body 100 can be subdivided to form a plurality of facial division regions formed to contact various local areas of the face.

Referring to Figure 2, a plurality of potential treatment electrode pads (201~) overlapping with each of the facial division areas (101~104, 101a~104b) in each of the above-described facial division areas (101~104, 101a~104b). 204, 201a~204b) are placed. In Figure 2 (b), electrode pads 201 to 204 for potential treatment are shown, arranged corresponding to the first form of the facial division region described above (Figure 3 (a)), and in Figure 2 (c) In is shown the electrode pads 201a to 204b for potential treatment arranged corresponding to the second form of the above-described facial division area (Figure 3(b)).

Since the plurality of potential treatment electrode pads (201-204, 201a-204b) overlap with each facial division area (101-104, 101a-104b), the face corresponding to the facial division area (101-104, 101a-104b) Each overlaps with the local area of . Therefore, detailed electric field stimulation can be adjusted and applied to different parts of the face (e.g., the frontal region, temporal region, and lower face, etc. described above) using each electric potential treatment electrode pad (201-204, 201a-204b). .

As shown, each of the potential treatment electrode pads (201 to 204, 201a to 204b) may be formed in the same shape as the corresponding facial division region (101 to 104, 101a to 104b). The electrode pads (201 to 204, 201a to 204b) for potential treatment equally include flat or curved surfaces (which may be formed according to the curvature of the face) formed in the corresponding facial division regions (101 to 104, 101a to 104b). It can be formed into a shape. The electrode pads 201 to 204 and 201a to 204b for potential treatment may be formed into a three-dimensional shape taking into account the curvature of the face so as to cover each local area of the divided face.

In particular, the electrode pads (201 to 204, 201a to 204b) for potential treatment may be removably mounted on the facial division areas (101 to 104, 101a to 104b). Each of the potential treatment electrode pads (201 to 204, 201a to 204b) shown in FIG. 2 can be separated or recombined from the corresponding facial division regions (101 to 104, 101a to 104b).

An example of this is shown in Figures 3 (a) and (b). In Figures 3 (a) and (b), potential treatment electrode pads 201 and 201a that are attached to or detached from any one of the plurality of facial division areas 101 to 104 and 101a to 104b are shown as examples. This example can be equally applied to all of the plurality of potential treatment electrode pads 201 to 204 and 201a to 204b shown in FIG. 2.

Specifically, the electrode pad for potential treatment may be attached to or detached from the power supply holder 110 described above. The electrode pad for potential treatment is provided with a conductive terminal 210 and can be coupled to the power supply holder 110 formed in the facial division area. The electric potential treatment device of the present invention includes a power supply holder 110 disposed in the facial division areas (101 to 104, 101a to 104b) and connected to a power module (see 300 in FIG. 1), and electrode pads for electric potential treatment ( 201 to 204 and 201a to 204b) and may include an energizing terminal 210 that is connected to the power supply holder 110 to conduct electricity.

3 and 4 illustrate the coupling structure of the current-carrying terminal 210 and the power supply holder 110 for arbitrary potential treatment electrode pads 201 and 201a, but this is only illustrated for convenience of explanation. The structure can be formed on all of the plurality of potential treatment electrode pads 201 to 204 and 201a to 204b shown in FIG. 2. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, all of the plurality of potential treatment electrode pads (201 to 204, 201a to 204b) arranged in the plurality of facial division areas (101 to 104, 101a to 104b) can be used by attaching and detaching them as needed. This detachable structure is not only convenient for maintenance, but is also useful for stimulating specific areas of the face through selective combination.

Figure 4 shows the internal structure of the electrode pad for potential treatment. Figure 4 also arbitrarily illustrates the structure of a specific potential treatment electrode pad 201 and the corresponding facial division area 101 for convenience of explanation, but this also shows a plurality of electrode pads for potential treatment and a plurality of face division areas. It can be applied equally to all. Therefore, the description described later also applies equally to both the plurality of electrode pads for dislocation treatment and the plurality of facial division regions.

However, in order to avoid repeated explanations, the structure of the electrode pad for potential treatment and the facial division area will be described in more detail below, using the shown single electrode pad for potential treatment 201 and the corresponding facial division area 101 as an example. do.

Referring to FIG. 4, the electrode pad 201 for electric potential treatment may be formed in two different structures, for example. For example, the electrode pad 201 for electric potential treatment may be formed in a structure including a thin metal plate 230 inserted inside a flexible insulating cover 220, as shown in (a) of FIG. 4. . That is, the thin metal plate 230 that applies an electric field to the face may be formed in a structure inserted into the insulating cover 220.

The insulating cover 220 may be formed of, for example, a flexible plastic material. The thin metal plate 230 has an appropriate width so that an electric field can be applied to the face through its entirety. The thin metal plate 230 may be connected to the conductive terminal 210.

Alternatively, the electrode pad 201 for electric potential treatment may be formed in a structure including metal fibers 250 disposed on the surface of a flexible pad body 240, as shown in (b) of FIG. 4, for example. there is. In such a case, the metal fiber 250 that applies an electric field to the face may be exposed to the outside. A person can apply an electric field due to high potential to the face by contacting the electrode pads (201-204, 201a-204b) for electric potential treatment of this structure while insulated by shoes and/or other insulating footrests.

The pad body 240 is also made of a flexible plastic material and can be flexibly deformed. In particular, the electrode pad 201 for potential treatment containing metal fibers 250 can more effectively reflect the curvature of the face by utilizing the flexibility of the metal fibers 250. For example, the metal fiber 250 may be woven and installed in a fabric form to enable flexible deformation.

The conductive terminal 210 formed on the electrode pad 201 for electric potential treatment is connected to the power supply holder 110 disposed in the facial division area 101 by at least one of the uneven coupling method and the magnetic attraction method. Can be combined (detachably). In the case of the uneven coupling method, the power supply holder 110 and the conduction terminal 210 can be coupled by pressing in a snap-like structure, for example. Alternatively, in the case of a coupling method using magnetic attraction, magnets can be attached to both sides to couple them using magnetic force. Velcro (140, 260) may be placed on the surface where the potential treatment electrode pad (201) and the facial division area (101) come into contact to increase adhesion.

The electrode pad 201 for electric potential treatment of this structure receives power from the power module 300 connected to the power supply holder 110 as described above. In particular, the power of the power module 300 can be controlled by the facial stimulation control module 400, and the facial stimulation control module 400 having such a function can be used to control a plurality of electrode pads for potential treatment (201 to 204 in FIG. 2). and 201a to 204b) can be operated selectively. Hereinafter, the power module 300 and the facial stimulation control module 400 will be described in more detail.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a circuit diagram of the power module of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram for explaining the interaction between the power module, the facial stimulation control module, and the electrode pad for potential treatment.

The power module 300 and the facial stimulation control module 400 may be placed, for example, in the body described above (see 30 in FIG. 1). The power module 300 and the facial stimulation control module 400 may be formed, for example, through circuit configurations having functions suitable for each. For example, the power module 300 may be formed of a voltage output circuit that generates and outputs a high voltage from a power source, and the facial stimulation control module 400 may include, for example, the power module 300 and a plurality of electric potential treatment devices. A type of switching circuit that selectively operates a specific electrode pad for potential treatment by switching the power supply circuit (which may be a circuit consisting of the above-described power lines, etc.) formed between electrode pads (see 201 to 204 and 201a to 204b in FIG. 2). It can be formed as

For example, the circuit of the power module 300 may be configured as shown in FIG. 5. The power module 300 may be formed as a voltage output circuit that boosts the AC power source 306 and induces a high voltage of several thousand volts or more through the output terminal 307. The power module 300 may include a plurality of transformers 301 and 302 to induce high voltage, and a smoothing unit 305 to remove noise at the rear end of the AC power 306 and apply a constant voltage to the transformer. ), etc. may also be included. The power module 300 includes a circuit resistance 304 to apply an appropriate load to the circuit and a safety resistance 303 installed to limit the amount of current output to the output terminal 307 to less than an allowed value (e.g., 0.5 mA). may include.

The voltage output from the power module 300 formed in this way may be an alternating voltage of approximately 1000 to 10000 V. Preferably it may be 5000V or more. However, since this is an example, the configuration of the power module 300 does not need to be limited as such, and it is possible to induce a high voltage of around several thousand volts (high voltage direct current from direct current power is also possible) while the output current is limited to a very small amount. It is also possible to implement another type of power module 300 through various types of circuit configurations. Through such power module 300, power can be provided to the electrode pads (201 to 204, 201a to 204b) for electric potential therapy to induce high voltage for electric potential treatment.

Referring to FIG. 6, the facial stimulation control module 400 adjusts the power of the power module 300 to generate electrode pads (electrode pads for potential treatment) disposed in different facial division areas (illustrated by numbers 101 to 103 in FIG. 6). 6 (illustrated by numbers 201 to 203) can be selectively operated. For example, the facial stimulation control module 400 is a switching module that switches the power supply circuit between the power module 300 and a plurality of electrode pads for potential treatment, and controls such that only specific electrode pads for potential treatment are selectively energized. can be formed. The facial stimulation control module 400 is not limited to a specific form and can be implemented in various forms as long as such actions are possible.

Although not specifically shown, for example, the facial stimulation control module 400 includes a plurality of switch units ( It may be composed of a control module (not shown) and a control module (not shown) that controls the operation of the switch unit. For example, the control module may include a programmable controller (PLC), and the switch unit may include an electronic switch operated by a control signal from the control module. The facial stimulation control module 400 can be modified into various forms that can selectively energize only specific potential treatment electrode pads by switching the power supply circuit between the power module 300 and a plurality of electrode pads for potential treatment. , it is not particularly limited and can be implemented in a variety of ways, as long as the power of the power module 300 can be adjusted to selectively operate the potential treatment electrode pad.

In particular, the facial stimulation control module 400 can operate the electrode pad for electric potential treatment according to one or more operation sequences, and can accordingly closely change the position of the facial division area where the electrode pad for electric potential treatment is operated. That is, the facial stimulation control module 400 can sequentially operate a plurality of potential treatment electrode pads one by one according to an operation sequence that changes the position of the facial division area. Hereinafter, the operation method of the electrode pad of the electric potential treatment device will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

Figures 7 and 8 are diagrams showing the operation of the electrode pad for electric potential treatment of the electric potential treatment device of Figure 1.

Figure 7 illustrates the operation method according to the first form of the electrode pad for electric potential treatment described above (Figure 2 (b)), and Figure 8 illustrates the second form of the electrode pad for electric potential treatment described above [Figure 2 (b)]. The operation according to [c)] is illustrated. Each is explained separately as follows.

In FIGS. 7 and 8, the mask body 100 may be fixed to the above-described arm (see 20 in FIG. 1). Additionally, as shown, the power line 13 may be connected to the power line connection terminal 120 so that power can be supplied to a plurality of potential treatment electrode pads 201 to 204 and 201a to 204b.

In such a state, when the power module (see 300 in FIGS. 1 and 6) and the facial stimulation control module (see 400 in FIGS. 1 and 6) placed on the body (see 30 in FIG. 1) are activated, the power module 300 The high voltage induced by is selectively formed on at least one of the plurality of potential treatment electrode pads 201 to 204 and 201a to 204b under the control of the facial stimulation control module 400.

That is, as described above, the facial stimulation control module 400 adjusts power in a way to selectively energize at least one of the plurality of potential treatment electrode pads (201-204, 201a-204b) to control different facial division regions ( A plurality of potential treatment electrode pads (201 to 204, 201a to 204b) disposed in (101 to 104, 101a to 104b) can be selectively operated.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the facial stimulation control module 400 uses a plurality of potential treatment electrode pads 201 to 204 according to a specific operation sequence to change the position of the facial division areas 101 to 104. They can be operated one by one sequentially.

Numbers ①, ②, ③, and ④ shown in (a) of FIG. 7 represent the operation sequence of the electrode pads 201 to 204 for potential treatment. Depending on the operation sequence, the position of the face division area (101-104) changes, and the potential treatment electrode pads (201-204) corresponding to the changed face division area (101-104) apply electric fields to different local areas of the face. It works to closely apply electrical stimulation that induces bioactivity to each part of the face.

For example, the electrode pads 201 to 204 for potential treatment are disposed in the frontal area 101 of the facial division areas 101 to 104, as shown in (b) of Figure 7, One operation sequence (①, ②, ③) in the order of the potential treatment electrode pads 204 placed in the lower facial area 104 and the potential treatment electrode pads 202, 203 placed in both temporal areas 102 and 103. , ④) can be operated sequentially.

Each time each potential therapy electrode pad is activated, an electric field is applied to the corresponding area of the face by high voltage, which can result in positive physical stimulation, including bioactivity and improved blood circulation, in the face. Since different local areas of the face are selectively stimulated, the bioactivity effect caused by the electric field can be felt more significantly due to the difference from other facial areas that are not stimulated. In this way, electric potential treatment using high voltage is possible by closely stimulating local areas of the face.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 8, the corresponding potential treatment electrode pads 201a to 204b may be sequentially operated according to another operation sequence for the more detailed facial division areas 101a to 104b.

Numbers ①, ②, ③, ④, ⑤, ⑥, ⑦, and ⑧ shown in (a) of FIG. 8 represent the operation sequence of another electrode pad 201a to 204b for potential treatment. According to the corresponding operation sequence, the position of the facial division area (101a ~ 104b) changes, and the electrode pads (201a ~ 204b) for potential treatment corresponding to the changed facial division area (101a ~ 104b) are also moved to more detailed local areas of the face. Electrical stimulation that induces bioactivity can be applied by applying an electric field to the body.

For example, the electrode pads 201a to 204b for potential treatment are a pair of electrodes for potential treatment disposed in the frontal area (101a, 101b) among the facial division areas (101a to 104b), as shown in (b) of FIG. Pads (201a, 201b), a pair of potential treatment electrode pads (204a, 204b) disposed in the lower facial area (104a, 104b), and a pair each in both temporal areas (102a, 102b, 103a, 103b). The electrode pads for potential treatment (202a, 202b, 203a, 203b) arranged in that order can be operated sequentially according to different operation sequences (①, ②, ③, ④, ⑤, ⑥, ⑦, ⑧).

In this way, when stimulating local areas of the face in detail, specific areas requiring bioactivity can be stimulated more intensively. Each time each of the more detailed electrical potential therapy electrode pads operates, a high-voltage electric field is applied more closely to the corresponding area of the face, resulting in positive physical stimulation including bioactivity and improved blood circulation. You can. Even in this case, since different local areas of the face are selectively stimulated, the bioactivity effect caused by the electric field may be felt larger due to the difference from other facial areas that are not stimulated. In this way, electric potential treatment using high voltage is possible by closely stimulating local areas of the face in another way.

Since the operation sequences illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 are just examples, it is possible to change the operation sequences into more diverse forms and stimulate the face. The electric potential treatment device of the present invention includes a mask body (100) covering the face. ) By sequentially operating a plurality of electrode pads for electrical potential therapy separately mounted in various sequences, electrical stimulation can be applied to various local areas, especially on the face. If the face is stimulated closely in this way, various therapeutic effects can be expected, such as preventing facial skin aging, promoting waste removal, and improving elasticity by improving blood circulation, due to the bioactivity effect of electric field stimulation.
