Description

 The invention relates to medical equipment, namely to devices of electron-ion therapy, which effect on the patient a concentrated stream of air ions. The device can be used for reflexology and to stimulate the coagulation of blood and protein in order to intensify wound healing.

 A device is known that is used to expose a person’s skin to a stream of ions in an electric field of a corona discharge, containing an active electrode connected to a high-voltage power source.

 However, in such a device, the ion flux density to the surface of the body is low. It is practically impossible to localize (focus) the ion flux to a biologically active point (BAP) during a corona discharge. An attempt to increase the voltage or reduce the interelectrode distance leads to an electrical breakdown, which leads to electric injury to the patient and is an emergency mode for the device. Another disadvantage is that only a doctor who knows the location of the BAP can use this device. Hence the low impact efficiency and the considerable duration of the procedures.

 The technical result of the invention is to increase the effectiveness of the impact and expand the functionality.

 The proposed aeroionic stimulator containing an active electrode with a pointed working part, a high voltage source with a grounded terminal connected to a passive electrode, according to the invention is equipped with a probe electrode and two discharge nodes, the corona electrodes of which are connected to a high voltage source terminal, one receiving electrode is connected to the active an electrode, and the other is connected to two electrical circuits connected in parallel, one of which contains a gas-discharge indicator of biologically active hibernation coupled with a grounded source terminal, and the second comprises a variable resistance connected in series with the probe electrode.

 In another embodiment, a stimulator containing an active electrode, a high voltage source, with a passive electrode connected to a grounded terminal, according to the invention is equipped with a switch and two discharge nodes, the corona electrodes of which are connected to a high voltage source terminal, one receiving electrode is connected to the active electrode through a switch, and the other receiving electrode is connected to two electrical circuits connected in parallel, one of which contains a gas-discharge indicator of biologically active Points connected to a grounded source terminal, and the second variable resistance comprises connectable through the switch to the active electrode.

 An RC chain can be introduced into the stimulator with the possibility of its connection in parallel with the active electrode.

 The high voltage source can be made with stabilization of the load current.

 Figure 1 and 2 presents the options for the stimulator.

 The aeroionic stimulator (Fig. 1) contains a replaceable active electrode 1, which is mounted in an insulating handle 2 and is connected through a connector 3 to the receiving electrode in the form of a cylinder 4, inside of which a thin wire 5, which is a corona electrode, is fed to which a high voltage is supplied from the source 6.

 Wire 5 and cylinder 4 form a first discharge unit. The second discharge node is formed by an additional receiving electrode made in the form of a cylinder 7, and a corona electrode made in the form of a thin wire 5.

 The additional cylinder 7 is disconnected from the cylinder 4 by a dielectric washer 8 and connected to two parallel-connected electrical circuits, one of which contains a gas discharge neon lamp 9 connected to a grounded source terminal, and the other contains a variable resistance (for example, a potentiometer) 10 connected through an 11 s connector probe electrode 12, mounted in the handle 13.

 Parallel to the electrode 1, an RC chain can be connected using jumpers 14 and 15 (or an additional switch). The stimulator provides a passive electrode 16 connected to a low-voltage (grounded) terminal of the source 6.

 Figure 2 shows another modification of the stimulator, in which the search functions of the BAP and the effects on them are combined in one active probe electrode 12. For this, a switch 17 with a button 18 is provided. Another embodiment of the discharge nodes is also shown here - they are spaced from each other .

 As a discharge unit (corotron), the drawings show the system of counter-electrodes "coaxial cylinders" (thin conduct tensioned inside the cylinder). Cylinders 4 and 7 can be of the same and unequal geometric dimensions (diameters and lengths). There may also be the same or different geometrical dimensions stretched inside the cylinders 4 and 7 of the wire.

 Other discharge electrode systems can also be used as discharge nodes: wire-plane, needle-plane, etc.

 Aeroionic stimulator works as follows.

 First you need to find the exact location of the BAT, which will be affected. For this, the passive electrode 16 is connected to the human body, the power source 6 is turned on and high voltage is applied to the wire 5. Between the wire 5 and the cylinders 4 and 7, a corona discharge occurs, which charges the cylinders. Upon reaching the ignition potential of the neon lamp 9 on the cylinder 7, the latter lights up and keeps the potential of the cylinder 7 constant. The probe 12 must be driven over the human skin in the area where the BAP is located (according to the atlas of the exteroreceptor zones of the human skin). At the moment the BAP is touched, the lamp 9 immediately goes out, since the electrical resistance of this point is an order of magnitude smaller than the surrounding skin and the lamp is bypassed.

 To provide other types of signaling in series with the lamp 9 (instead of the jumper, see Fig. 1), circuits containing a liquid crystal indicator, a sound-emitting element, a pointer device, etc. can be included. To control the sensitivity of the probe 12, a variable resistance 10 is provided.

 Having determined the exact location of the BAT, the active electrode 1 is placed above it at a distance of 0.5-2 mm, or (see figure 2) press the button of the switch 17, turning the probe 12 into the active electrode. Between the active electrode and the BAP a stream of aero ions occurs.

The ion flux density is regulated from units μA / mm ² to tens of MA / mm ² . If, during the action of the ion-plasma flow, the electrode 1 touches the surface of the skin, then a short circuit will not occur with its sharp increase in current. In this case, the flow of aero ions will disappear. If, then, the active electrode is again diverted from the skin surface, an ion-plasma cord will again appear and the procedure will continue.

 The device can also be successfully used to stimulate coagulation in wound healing and eye treatment.

 If it is necessary to act on the BAT, not with a constant ion current, but with a pulsed current, then the device provides an RC circuit. Having installed jumpers 14 and 15 (as shown in FIG. 1), a capacitor C is connected in parallel with the active electrode 1. In this case, the action of ions will be carried out in a pulse manner. The pulse repetition rate, their duty cycle can be varied by connecting resistor R in series with the capacitor.

 To ensure a stable ion flow in continuous mode, the power source can be made with stabilization of the load current.
