DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a potential treatment device for applying high voltage to a human body to treat headache, stiff shoulders, insomnia, chronic constipation and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional electric potential treatment device takes in a commercial power supply of a primary and a secondary of a high voltage transformer subjected to a high withstand voltage insulation treatment, outputs a high voltage from a secondary side, and contacts the high voltage with a human body. Then, the high voltage is applied to the human body from the current supply sheet to treat the above-mentioned symptoms.

[0003]

Disadvantages of the prior art Since the primary input of a high voltage transformer is to take in commercial power as it is or to take it in via a reactance, an AC wave on which a constant sine wave or a harmonic is superimposed is output to the secondary side. Was done. Therefore, although a temporary energizing feeling is given to the patient when the switch is switched at the start of energization or at the end of energizing, the energizing feeling is generally not given to the patient during energization. Therefore, the patient may come into contact with a conductor around him without being aware that power is being supplied, and may receive a shock due to a momentary electric leakage. In addition, there is no sense of treatment due to the lack of a feeling of energization at the time of energization, and thus the treatment effect is underestimated or denied by subconsciousness, thereby causing the treatment effect to be unduly reduced.

[0004] As described above, a patient who is being treated with a potential therapy device who cannot be aware of the sense of energization unconsciously touches other conductors and feels an electric shock. Underestimating the effect is both mentally and physically disadvantageous for the patient and is not favorable for the manufacturer.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional electric potential therapy device, in which it is extremely rare to obtain a sense of energization, and that the patient is energized with the electric potential therapy device. By avoiding electrical shock due to instantaneous leakage by touching other conductive objects while energizing, obtain the required therapeutic effect by obtaining a legitimate evaluation of energizing treatment It is assumed that.

In order to achieve this object, means for applying amplitude modulation of an appropriate frequency to a commercial power supply input to a high-voltage transformer is employed. In the amplitude modulation, various modulation patterns are stored in a storage medium in order to set the patient in the most comfortable state, and the modulation patterns are read out from the storage medium and the patient himself / herself likes the modulation pattern. And a microcomputer system for selecting an input instruction, inputting an execution instruction from an input device, and performing treatment in an optimal treatment state.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. According to the present invention, an amplitude modulation unit 3 is installed in a main body of the electric potential treatment device before power is first input from a commercial power supply to the high-voltage transformer 4, and an energization program can be read and written, for example, a magnetic proppy disk. Alternatively, from a removable storage medium 2 such as a memory card,
A microcomputer system 1 for reading out a treatment program, writing a newly created treatment program, and controlling the amplitude modulation unit 3 according to these treatment programs is installed.

The amplitude-modulated power is input to the high-voltage transformer 4 by the power supply control system including the microcomputer system 1, the removable storage medium 2, the amplitude modulation unit 3, and the like.

In this energization control system, energization conditions such as amplitude, modulation frequency, modulation waveform, and treatment time are read out from the storage medium 2 and newly created energization conditions are written in the storage medium 2 at the same time. And executing the selected energization conditions.

A commercial power supply waveform (FIG. 4) input to the high-voltage transformer 4 is amplitude-modulated to a sine waveform (FIG. 5), amplitude-modulated to a rectangular waveform (FIG. 6) as shown in FIG.
Amplitude modulation (FIG. 7) into a triangular waveform.

The frequency of the amplitude modulation can be selected from a frequency close to a human brain wave (α-wave) having a stable mental state of several tens of hertz to a slow frequency that can be counted.

In order to energize the natural wind in a manner that the wind fluctuates, a random numerical value is incorporated, and a modulation amplitude, a modulation frequency, and a modulation waveform corresponding to the random number to be read out are set as one of the programs. It is also possible to create a condition for energizing f-fluctuations and provide the treatment.

When power is supplied to the microcomputer system 1, an MPU (microprocessor unit) 11
Starts up, takes in the program software of the storage medium 21 via the storage medium interface 17, and writes it in the RAM 15. At the same time, the written contents are displayed on the display device 13. When it is not necessary to change the displayed treatment program, the treatment may be performed by inputting an execution instruction of the treatment program from the input device 12.

When it is necessary to change the displayed treatment program, the input device 12 is used to input changes such as amplitude, modulation frequency, and operation time.

The treatment program once selected on the RAM 15 as described above is input to the input device 12 to be executed and output to the amplitude modulator 31 via the A / D converter (output interface) 14.

A treatment program converted from a microcomputer system 1 operated by a digital signal to an analog signal via an A / D converter 14 controls an amplitude modulator 31 and inputs the same to a high voltage unit 41 (including a protection resistor). Amplitude modulation to the power supply to be used.

When the primary power supply input to the high-voltage unit 41 is amplitude-modulated, the secondary power output is amplitude-modulated in proportion to the primary power supply. The high voltage side of the amplitude-modulated secondary power supply is energized to the energizing electrode 7 via the protection resistor 6 for preventing electric shock. Also, the low voltage side of the secondary power supply
To the primary power supply and indirectly drop to ground. The energizing device 71 is formed by enclosing the energizing electrode 7 with an insulating film for preventing arc discharge from the energizing electrode 7 to the ground, and injects a medical treatment through the insulating film to a human body.

The actual flowchart will be described with reference to FIG. 3. First, power is input to the system and "start" is performed.
In the MPU 11, the energization mode is read from the storage medium 21, written in the RAM 15, and "display of the previous energization mode" is displayed on the display device 13. A person selects "NO" or "YES" according to the display of "no need to switch the energization mode" and inputs a switching command from the input device 12. If "YES", the designated energization mode is "energized" for a designated time.

If "NO", a screen for selecting the existing mode or the new mode is displayed on the MPU 11, and if "Existing mode?" The existing energizing mode is displayed, the desired energizing mode is designated, and the input device 12 selects "desired mode" to start energization.

If the above-mentioned "existing mode?" Is "NO", "display of a new input screen" is displayed on the MPU 11, and "input of maximum and minimum voltage of amplitude modulation" and "designation of modulation waveform" are performed by the input device 12. "Specification of modulation frequency""Specification of energization time"
And so on, and decide whether or not to “save” it, and then “start energization”, “end energization”, and “end”.

As described above, when the electric potential therapy apparatus according to the present invention is used, an intermittent energization or an energization voltage that rises and falls can be induced to the human body. Electric treatment can be performed under conditions.

[0022]

As described above, according to the present invention, the patient who is to be treated can select the energizing mode of the treatment by himself and can be aware of the feeling of energization during the treatment. Can be clearly recognized, (1)
Prevents electrical shock due to contact with other conductive materials,
(2) Prevent underestimation of the therapeutic effect due to subconsciousness. This has the effect. Furthermore, by specifying a frequency or using a random number, (3) a frequency similar to the α-wave or amplitude modulation of 1 / f fluctuation can be applied, so that a natural feeling of treatment can be obtained. It can be expected that the effect of active treatment is that it involves the active action of voluntarily selecting the treatment condition, thereby improving the willingness to treat by the subconscious mind.
