Electric stimulation system

The present invention relates to an electrical stimulation system, and more particularly to an electrical stimulation system having a current adjustment function.

The increase in metabolic efficiency due to increased age, the reduction of immune function due to environmental and air pollution, the lack of exercise, the lack of exercise, the inertia of blood flow, and the incomplete digestion of diets, all of which reduce the flow rate of blood and endocrine fluids in the body. Slow, causing lack of oxygen and nutrients in the organs, slow metabolism of the internal organs of the body, and reduced detoxification function, resulting in a variety of chronic diseases such as mental disability, migraine and sore muscles, and suffering from daily life and suffering. It is hard to say; the above-mentioned abnormal physical manifestations, from the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, are mostly caused by qi and blood, and the so-called "nothing is painful" is the reason, so if you can clear the body meridians, Acupuncture points, which promote smooth circulation of blood and blood, will naturally heal.

Furthermore, since the human body itself is a delicate and complex electric field, the life phenomenon is maintained by the metabolism and regeneration of cells in the body, and the metabolism involved in various cells is caused by various mineral ions in the body, by potassium in the intracellular fluid. The interaction between the ions and the sodium ions in the external solution, and the potential generated by these processes is called the "active potential". Therefore, if the potential in the human body maintains a certain balance, the body will be healthy. Otherwise, Everything is ill, this is the so-called qi and blood communication of Chinese medicine, the meaning of yin and yang.

Western medicine has confirmed that when the human body is sick, the impedance of the surface of the skin will decrease at a certain point. This coincides with the "points" of Chinese medicine. There are about 730 acupoints in the body, and the acupuncture treatment uses "salt." The principle of bridges is to achieve the purpose of ion exchange by energizing two or more metals, so that the cells in the body are active, stimulate the meridians, and further make the physiological functions of the human body function normally. Therefore, the electric therapy device is made by the acupuncture principle of traditional Chinese medicine. Appropriate use can promote blood circulation, promote muscle contraction, have analgesic effect, activate nerve function, strengthen bones and bones, and acupoint massage.

The electrotherapy device is usually divided into several segments according to the intensity of the current, and then the user can adjust the appropriate number of segments, and when the user turns on the current to form a closed loop by contacting the two electrodes, the current The intensity will begin to conduct to the user. However, when the user's body suddenly separates from the electrode sheet and comes into contact again, the skin of the body will feel uncomfortable due to stress, especially when the number of segments executed is high. At the moment when the user separates from the body and the electrode sheet, the body does not have an electric current. When the electrode sheet is touched again, the current intensity of the body is a high frequency segment, and the light body feels slightly uncomfortable. However, those who are in poor health or who are physically sensitive may even be injured.

Therefore, how to improve the current conduction state of the physiotherapy instrument by electric stimulation, so that the current can be more relaxed and more comfortable for the user, is the direction of the industry to improve and work hard.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention mainly provides an electrical stimulation system, comprising an electrical stimulation unit having a first electrode and a second electrode for connecting to a living body to form a closed loop; a signal acquisition unit for detecting Measuring the loop signal of the closed loop, when detecting a loop interrupt signal in the closed loop, the signal capture unit captures a first current output value; and a current adjustment component, which is one of wired or wireless, respectively The electrical stimulation component receives the first current output value when the loop signal has a loop interruption signal, and the electrical stimulation unit outputs a second when the loop signal has a loop recovery signal when the loop signal has a loop interruption signal. The current output value, the second current output is less than the first current output value.

In the electrical stimulation system, the second current output value is stepwise increased in current for a predetermined time to reach the first current output value.

In the electrical stimulation system, the signal acquisition unit includes a time accumulation unit, and the time accumulation unit accumulates the time between the circuit interruption signal and the loop recovery signal as a time parameter, and the value of the time parameter is larger, The difference between the first current output value and the second current output value is larger.

Since the present invention discloses an electrical stimulation system, the basic principle of the human physiotherapy using the electrical stimulation principle used is well known to those skilled in the relevant art, and therefore, the description below will not be fully described. At the same time, the drawings in the following texts express the indications related to the characteristics of the creation, and do not need to be completely drawn according to the actual situation, which is first described.

Please refer to FIG. 1 for a schematic diagram of an electrical stimulation system 100, including an electrical stimulation unit 10 having a first electrode 10A and a second electrode 10B for connecting a living body to form a closed circuit 101; The signal capturing unit 20 is configured to detect the loop signal of the closed loop 101. When detecting the loop interrupt signal of the closed loop 101, the signal capturing unit 20 captures a first current output value E1, and a current adjusting component. The 30 series is connected to the electrical stimulation unit 10 and the signal acquisition unit 20 by one of wired or wireless, and the current adjustment component 30 mainly receives the information of the signal acquisition unit 20, and transmits the adjusted current output value. The electrical stimulation unit 10 is supplied.

When the loop signal appears in the loop signal, the current adjusting component 30 receives the first current output value E1 transmitted by the signal capturing unit 20, and when the loop signal has a loop recovery signal, causes the electrical stimulation unit 10 to output a first The second current output value E2 is smaller than the first current output value E1.

When the user uses the general physiotherapy instrument to perform physical therapy, if the body accidentally leaves the first electrode 10A or the second electrode 10B, the current conduction phenomenon of the closed circuit is stopped, and at this time, the physiotherapy machine continues to operate until When the user touches the first electrode 10A and the second electrode 10B again, the current will continue to be turned on, and in this case, when the battery is suddenly turned off for a period of time and turned on again, the body never conducts current, and when it is suddenly turned on, The intensity of the current is the strength of the previous disconnection, so the body often feels a strong discomfort, and after a while, the body will slowly adapt to the intensity of the current. If the electrical stimulation system 100 proposed by the present invention is used in the physiotherapy device, the signal signal of the closed circuit 101 can be detected by the signal capturing unit 20, and if a primary circuit interrupt signal occurs, the signal capturing unit 20 The current output intensity, that is, the first current output value E1, is extracted and transmitted to the current adjusting component 30 until the loop recovery signal occurs, and the electrical stimulation unit 10 outputs the second current output value. E2, and the second current output value E2 is less than the current intensity being output when the loop is interrupted, that is, the first current output value E1 described herein.

In an embodiment, the second current output value E2 is stepwise increased in a predetermined time to reach the first current output value E1. In addition, the signal capturing unit 20 further includes a time accumulating unit 201, and a time accumulating unit. 201 is used to accumulate the time between the loop interrupt signal and the loop recovery signal as a time parameter T, and the larger the value of the time parameter T, the difference between the first current output value E1 and the second current output value E2 The value is larger.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is illustrated here, wherein the horizontal axis is the time parameter T, and the unit is an example of a second integer, but the actual implementation is not limited thereto, and the vertical axis is the frequency value of the current output. Taking Hz as an example, in this embodiment, the loop interrupt signal appears in the first second. At this time, the first current output value E1 is taken as 140 Hz, and then the loop recovery signal appears in the second second, that is, the time parameter T. 1 second, and the second current output value E2 outputted in the second second is 120 Hz, and then, in a predetermined time, the current is increased in segments, that is, in the next 3 seconds. The current reaches 130 Hz, and reaches 140 Hz in the 4th second, which is the first current output value E1.

Next, please refer to FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the loop interrupt signal appears in the first second. At this time, the first current output value E1 is taken as 140 Hz, and then the loop recovery signal appears in the third second. That is, the time parameter T is 2 seconds. Therefore, the difference between the second current output value E2 and the first current output value E1 is larger than the difference value of the time parameter of 1 second in the previous embodiment. In this embodiment, The frequency value of the second current output value E2 outputted in 3 seconds is reduced to 100 Hz, and then, in a predetermined time, the current is increased in sections, that is, the current is increased to 120 Hz in the next 4th second, In 5 seconds, it reaches 140 Hz, which is the first current output value E1. In this embodiment, the preset time is set to 2 seconds. Of course, the preset time may be set longer, for example, the preset time is set to 4 seconds, and the segmentation time is increased by 10 Hz, and finally reaches The first current output value E1 is 140 Hz.

In addition, it is particularly noted that sometimes the user may touch the first electrode 10A and the second electrode 10B with both hands, however, due to the contact area of the hand with the first electrode 10A and the second electrode 10B, the current The output value divided by the cross-sectional area of the current output is equal to the current density. When the current density is higher, the stimulation feeling may be strong and the user feels uncomfortable. Therefore, the current adjustment component 30 may further include a current density value. The current density value is equal to the second current output value divided by the cross-sectional area of the first electrode and the second electrode that are in contact with the living body at the time, and when the current density value is higher, the current adjusting component 30 adjusts the second current. The smaller the output value E2 is.

In addition, in the electrical stimulation system 100 of the present invention, the first electrode 10A and the second electrode 10B are transmitted through one of a conductive patch, a conductive fiber cloth, a silicone conductive film, a hydrogel patch or a foam conductive film. Or in combination with the organism. The first electrode 10A and the second electrode 10B are disposed in a wearable device.
