Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a power supply device for applying a weak current to electrodes to be brought into conductive contact with various parts of a human body to electrically stimulate a living body to perform treatment.

[0002]

In the human body, in order to maintain the living body, a bioelectric current flows without a break to perform cell activity and muscle contraction. Therefore, when the living body is stimulated by artificially supplying a weak current from the outside, the cell activity is activated in the same manner as the bioelectric current, and the contraction movement of the muscle is aroused, whereby the living body function can be enhanced.

[0003] In order to allow a weak current to flow through a living body, a large number of electrodes have conventionally been attached to the inside of a band-shaped wearing device or a special tights or suit wound around the body, and these electrodes have been brought into conductive contact with various parts of the body.

For this reason, a cable must be connected to each of the many electrodes, which is troublesome and time-consuming. Also, as many cables are connected to the mounting equipment,
The cables were entangled and entangled with the body, making them uncomfortable and unattractive.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made for the purpose of making the wiring of a cable to be connected to a large number of electrodes simple.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is configured as follows.

That is, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the input terminal of the electrode which is to be brought into conductive contact with each part of the human body is concentrated at one place to form an input connector, which is detachably connected to the input connector. A treatment power supply device comprising an output side connector to be integrally provided. Claim 2
The treatment power supply device according to claim 1, wherein the output-side connector is provided on a back surface of the main body. The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that the main body itself is supported by a human body by attaching the input side connector to a human body and connecting the output side connector to the human body. is there. A fourth aspect of the present invention is the treatment power supply device according to the first aspect, wherein the output-side connector is configured to be detachable from the input-side connector and operated. Claim 5
The invention is the treatment power supply device according to claim 1, wherein a treatment start switch is turned on simultaneously with the connection of the connector. Claim 6 of the present invention
2. The treatment power supply device according to claim 1, wherein the output power connector is connected to the input power connector so that the output power connector can be opened and opened.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a front view and a rear view of a treatment power supply device embodying the present invention. The treatment power supply device 1 has a built-in power supply (not shown) for supplying a weak current, and has an LCD display section D, a power button B
1, a numeric up key K1, a down key K2, a selection key K3, and a treatment start button B2 are provided, respectively, and an output side connector C is integrally provided on the back surface.

The up key K1 and the down key K2 set a treatment time and the like. The up key K1 increases the number by one each time the key is pressed and inputs the number. The down key K2 sets the number each time the key is pressed. Is decreased by 1 and a number is input. The selection key K3 is used to select the type and intensity of the weak current.

FIG. 3 is a front view of electrode shorts as an example of electrode clothing connected to the treatment power supply device embodying the present invention. The electrode shorts 2 are provided with planar electrodes E1 at left and right symmetrical positions corresponding to the inner waist, lower abdomen, and groin.
To E3. The electrode shorts 2 are sewn with a highly elastic fiber material, fit tightly on the body, and press the planar electrodes E1 to E3 to predetermined portions of the lower body.

The planar electrodes E1 to E3 are formed by printing carbon ink on the surface of a urethane sheet, and attached to the inside of the electrode shorts 2 by sewing or bonding with the printed surface facing up. Further, the wiring material a integrated with the planar electrodes E1 to E3 is drawn out, and the respective ends are gathered to the input side connector C ′ attached to the electrode shorts 2.

The treatment power supply device embodying the present invention has the above-described configuration.
The output side connector C integrated with the device is inserted and connected to the input side connector C ′ of the electrode shorts 2. This allows
The main body of the treatment power supply unit is connected to connectors C and C '.
Is supported on the electrode shorts 2.

The operation of the treatment power supply device 1 is performed by detaching it from the electrode shorts 2, and when the operation is completed, the connector C is connected to the connector C '. In conjunction with this connection, the start button B2 is turned on, and the treatment starts.

As shown in FIG. 4, the treatment power supply device 1 may be constructed such that it can be opened and opened while the connector C is connected to the connector C 'and supported by the electrode shorts 2.

[0016]

As described above, in the treatment power supply device of the present invention, the input terminal of the electrode to be electrically conductively contacted with each part of the human body is formed at one place to form the input side connector. An output connector to be detachably connected to the connector is integrally provided. Therefore, according to the present invention, since a cable to be connected to the main body is not required, the cable does not become entangled with the body as in the related art, and the appearance is improved. In addition, it is not necessary to connect cables to many electrodes, and connection can be easily performed with one touch.
