Description

  The present invention relates to a high-voltage potential treatment device that enables potential treatment by applying high-voltage direct current or alternating current to a subject, and more specifically, the parasympathetic nerve is working with reference to the pulse rate of the subject. The present invention relates to a high-voltage potential treatment device that can increase treatment efficiency by applying a high voltage sometimes.

  Conventionally, as a device for treating headache, stiff shoulders, insomnia, etc., a high-voltage potential treatment device that improves blood circulation and has an effect on constitution improvement has been used.

  In other words, a high-voltage potential treatment device is a device that applies a high-voltage potential to the body of a patient. By performing treatment using this high-voltage potential treatment device, the subject has improved blood circulation and a constitution. It is improved and headaches, stiff shoulders, insomnia, etc. can be eliminated.

  By the way, the potential treatment performed by applying a high voltage potential to the body of the patient to be treated enhances the function of the parasympathetic nerve and promotes the metabolism of waste products accumulated in the body. It is said that it is desirable to perform treatment when the body and mind are relaxed and the parasympathetic nerve is working. Therefore, there is a case where potential treatment is performed by a high-voltage potential treatment device during sleep when the body and mind are relaxed.

  In addition, in the treatment with the high-voltage potential therapy device, for example, a united treatment time such as one hour is required, and therefore a person who cannot take a long time during the day performs a high-voltage potential treatment using sleep time. There is.

  On the other hand, with conventional high-voltage treatment devices, when high-voltage treatment is performed during sleep, vibrations peculiar to alternating current may interfere with sleep, making it difficult to perform effective treatment. May be.

  In other words, there are generally four types of sleep: light sleep REM sleep and deep sleep non-REM sleep, and non-REM sleep is divided into four stages from shallow sleep first stage to deep sleep fourth stage. When sleep sleeps, it will start from the first stage of sleepless non-REM sleep, then move to the deep sleep of the second to fourth stages of non-REM sleep, and eventually enter the shallow sleep REM sleep. This is one cycle of sleep, and this one cycle is said to be about 90 minutes. However, in the conventional high-voltage potential therapy device, if the switch is turned on after setting a voltage value in advance, Since a preset voltage value is applied to the patient, for example, when a voltage value exceeding 1000 V is set, vibration specific to alternating current is transmitted to the patient when sleep is shallow at the start of treatment, This Vibration is a problem that hinders the sleep of the treated subject has been pointed out.

On the other hand, when the voltage value is set to a low value, for example, when the voltage value is lowered to 1,000 V , the vibration is not transmitted to the patient. Since the effect is high, there is a problem that it is difficult to obtain a higher effect when the voltage value is set to 1,000V.

  For this reason, in the past, the present inventor gradually increases the voltage applied to the patient in accordance with the sleep rhythm described above, so that the vibration of alternating current is transmitted to the patient at the time of shallow sleep at the beginning of sleep. We have proposed a high-voltage treatment device that prevents this and enables effective high-voltage treatment without disturbing sleep.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-40241 JP-A-9-28813 No. 7-13723

  By the way, as described above, human sleep starts from the first stage of sleepless non-REM sleep, and then moves to deep sleep of the second to fourth stages of non-REM sleep. Going to sleep, this is one cycle of sleep, and this one cycle is said to be about 90 minutes, but there are individual differences in the time of each stage, and the time of each stage varies depending on the individual.

  However, in the above-described high-voltage potential treatment device disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-40241, a plurality of types of voltage values to be applied to the patient, and the order and time for applying these voltages to the patient are set in advance, and treatment starts.

One of the circuits 17 is supposed to operate.

  When the AC / DC switching circuit 16 is activated, the output from the voltage control circuit 11 is converted into high-voltage DC or AC and then output to the high-voltage socket 9 to enable potential treatment, while the thermal switching circuit When 17 is activated, the output from the voltage control circuit 11 is supplied to the high-voltage socket 9 as a power source for thermal therapy, and thermal therapy is possible.

  On the other hand, when a direct current is applied to the patient, only the negative phase control circuit 21B operates, and has a function of extracting a negative signal from the pulse signal output from the pulse oscillation circuit 20.

  The operation of the phase control circuit 21 will be described. In the present embodiment, the phase control circuit 21 operates based on the control by the microcomputer 5 and is output from the pulse oscillation circuit 20 when alternating current is applied to the patient. With respect to the pulse signal, a positive signal and a negative signal are separately extracted, and a positive waveform and a negative waveform are generated using the extracted signals. When generating the waveform, the half-cycle signal is divided into 16 parts and synthesized to generate an AC waveform.

  On the other hand, when a direct current is applied to the patient, only the negative phase control circuit 21B operates, and a negative signal is extracted from the pulse signal output from the pulse oscillation circuit 20. When applying direct current to a patient, it is not always necessary to extract a negative signal, and a positive signal may be extracted. However, it is generally said that negative ions are released by outputting a negative signal. Therefore, in this embodiment, a minus signal is taken out.

  Next, in FIG. 4, 22 is a multiplier circuit. That is, in the present embodiment, the phase control circuit 21 is connected to a multiplication circuit 22 controlled by the microcomputer 5, and the signals extracted in the phase control circuit 21 are respectively transmitted to the phase control circuit 21 by a predetermined value.

When outputting alternating current, both function, and when outputting direct current, the minus side multiplication circuit 22B functions.

  Next, an output control circuit 23 having a plus side output control circuit 23A and a minus side output control circuit 23B is connected to the multiplication circuit 22, and a plus side output control circuit 23A is connected to the plus side multiplication circuit 22A.

This voltage is output to the base side of the transistor 1101 via the control IC 1102, thereby converting the voltage of DC 26 V as the main power source into a desired voltage.

  Therefore, when applying a direct current to the patient, the output from the microcomputer 5 should be constant. On the other hand, when applying an alternating current to the patient, the output from the microcomputer 5 is changed between 0 and 255. It is possible to output the output from the voltage control circuit 11 as a wavy waveform similar to an AC waveform.

  In addition, when the treatment for changing the voltage according to the pulse rate is selected, the microcomputer 5 adjusts the signal output from the microcomputer 5 to the ladder circuit 12 according to the pulse rate of the person to be treated. At the beginning of treatment, a low voltage is applied to the patient, and as the pulse rate decreases, the voltage applied to the patient is gradually increased. Finally, in the case of DC, 14,000 V, and in the case of AC Allow 9,000V to be applied to the subject.

  Next, when the main power source adjusted to the desired voltage by the voltage control means 10 applies heat to the patient under the control of the potential thermal control circuit 18, the thermal power is switched via the thermal switching circuit 17 and the potential thermal switching circuit 24. When it is output to the high voltage socket 9 and a potential is applied to the patient, it is converted into a high voltage by the high voltage potential generating means 19 after passing through the AC / DC switching circuit 16, and then the high voltage socket via the potential thermal switching circuit 24. 9 is output.

  That is, when applying heat to the patient, the potential heat control circuit 18 operates the heat switching circuit 17 in accordance with an instruction from the microcomputer 5, whereby the main power output from the voltage control means 10 is The voltage is output to the high voltage socket 9 via the temperature / heat switching circuit 17 and the potential / temperature switching circuit 24. And thereby, the thermal treatment with respect to a to-be-treated person is attained via the electricity supply mat 25 connected to the high voltage | pressure socket 9. FIG.

  On the other hand, when a potential is applied to the patient, the potential thermal control circuit 18 operates the AC / DC switching circuit 16 according to an instruction from the microcomputer 5, whereby the output from the voltage control means 10 is the high-voltage potential generation means 19. And is converted to a high voltage by the high-voltage potential generating means 19 and then output to the high-voltage socket 9 through the potential / heat switching circuit 24, and thereby through the energizing mat 25 connected to the high-voltage socket 9. This makes it possible to perform electric potential treatment on the subject.

  That is, when the AC / DC switching circuit 16 is operated, the output from the voltage control means 10 is first input to the pulse oscillation circuit 20 and converted into a high-voltage pulse signal in the pulse oscillation circuit 20 ( Step 6). Specifically, in this embodiment, when a direct current of 25 V is input, it is converted into a pulse of 3,000 V.

  Next, when alternating current is applied to the patient, the phase control circuit 21 extracts a plus signal and a minus signal from the output from the pulse oscillation circuit 20, respectively. (Step 11), and the generated plus-side waveform and minus-side waveform are each multiplied by 6 in the multiplication circuit 22 (step 12). Then, the waveform multiplied by 6 times is combined with the zero point in the output control circuit 23 in step 13 to generate an AC waveform, and this AC waveform is then converted into the potential / thermal switching circuit 24 and the high voltage in step 14. The treatment subject is applied from the energizing mat 25 through the socket 9.

  On the other hand, when DC is applied to the patient, the phase control circuit 21 extracts a minus signal from the output from the pulse oscillation circuit 20 (step 7). Multiplied by a factor of two. Then, a direct current waveform is generated by the waveform multiplied by 6 times (step 9), and this direct current waveform is then subjected to treatment from the energizing mat 25 via the potential thermal switching circuit 24 and the high voltage socket 9 in step 10. Added to.

As described above, in the high-voltage potential treatment device of the present embodiment, the voltage of the input power supply is gradually increased according to the pulse rate of the patient while the pulse sensor 14 monitors the pulse rate of the patient. because you are, less pulse rate of the treated subject, in addition to the treated subject to high voltages when working the parasympathetic treated subject, it is possible thereby to provide effective potential therapeutic .

  In the high-voltage potential treatment device according to the present embodiment, after the voltage of the input power source is controlled to a preset voltage, the power source transformed to the preset voltage level can be converted into a high-voltage direct current or alternating current and output. In addition, since a multiplier circuit is used as a method for converting the pressure into a high voltage, a large transformer is not required, and thus the weight of the treatment device can be reduced.

  Further, when the input power source is output as a high-voltage alternating current, the supplied power source is converted into a high-voltage pulse signal and output, and then a plus-side signal and a minus-side signal are extracted from the pulse signal, respectively. The plus and minus signals are converted to high voltage, and then the plus and minus signals converted to high voltage can be output by combining the zero points. It is possible to output an accurate AC waveform voltage.

  The present invention monitors the pulse rate of a subject and enables effective potential therapy by applying a high voltage when the pulse rate is low and the parasympathetic nerve is working. Applicable in general.
