Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to an electrode structure for an ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device that applies low-frequency waves to, for example, meridians (acupuncture points) of the body to apply acupressure to the affected area.

(B) Prior Art FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a conventional ultra-small low frequency treatment device (main body).

This ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device (main body) has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a width of 30 ports, a length of about 45 mm, and a thickness of about 10 mm.
The main body 31 has a built-in dry battery, a power switch 33 on the side, and a frequency (stimulus intensity) switch on the top. A switching button section 34 is provided.

In use, adhesive gel (adhesive member) that adheres to the skin surface is attached to the two treatment electrodes 32, 32a slightly protruding from the lower surface of the main body 1. Then, this main body (two electrode parts 32, 32a) 1 is applied to the skin surface corresponding to the affected area (acupuncture point). Adhesive gel adheres to the skin surface and fixes the contact surface.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The conventional ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device (main body) mentioned above has an extremely small body and is of the so-called one-piece type, in which the main body itself can be applied to the affected area for treatment. Therefore,
It has the advantage of being convenient to carry and allowing immediate treatment as needed.

However, in this ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device, two treatment electrode sections are provided in the small body itself, so the area of the electrode section itself is small and the distance between the two electrode sections is also extremely narrow. Therefore, the treatment area is limited to a narrow area. Therefore, for example, when it is necessary to apply one electrode to the base of the neck and the other electrode to the lower back for treatment, such as in the case of dorsal spinal cord energization, this ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device cannot be used. do not have. Furthermore, since the area of each electrode portion is small, there are disadvantages such as not only the so-called ``rubbing and tapping'' effects are small, but also a ``stinging and painful'' sensation.

This invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and provides an electrode for an ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device that is convenient to carry, can increase the electrode area and the distance between the electrodes, and can comfortably treat a wide range of areas. The purpose is to provide structure.

(d) Means and operation for solving the problem In order to achieve this object, the electrode structure of the ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device of the present invention has the following configuration.

The electrode structure of the ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device consists of an ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device body equipped with two treatment electrode parts, and a conductor electrode adapter that attaches the ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device body in a detachable manner. , the conductor electrode adapter has a first terminal portion electrically coupled to one of the therapeutic electrode portions and a second terminal portion electrically coupled to the other of the therapeutic electrode portions in an insulating manner. At the same time, the first terminal section is connected to one electrode arranged at the bottom of the conductor electrode adapter body, and the second terminal section is connected to the outside of the conductor electrode adapter body via a cord. It is characterized by being connected to other electrodes drawn out from the electrode, and having a conductive adhesive gel part attached to the lower surface of each electrode.

The electrode structure of an ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device having such a configuration includes an ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device main body and a conductor electrode adapter that is detachably attached to the ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device main body. Therefore, the main body of the ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device has two treatment electrode parts as before, and the main body of the treatment device is equipped with a dry battery (power source), a power switch, a volume, etc. Therefore, it itself functions as a low frequency treatment device. The two treatment electrode sections of this ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device main body both have a small electrode area and a narrow distance between the electrodes. Therefore, if a treatment with a large electrode area and a long distance between electrodes is desired, a conductor electrode adapter and an ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device are used as a set. That is, the ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device body is set (combined) on the conductor electrode adapter. The conductor electrode adapter is provided with two insulated terminal parts, and the first
An electrode connected to the terminal part is arranged on the lower surface, and the second terminal part is connected to the electrode drawn out to the outside via a cord. Therefore, when the ultra-compact low-frequency treatment device body is set in the conductor electrode adapter, the two treatment electrode parts
The corresponding electrode terminal portions are electrically coupled. Thereby, the two large-area electrodes of the conductor electrode adapter can be used as conductors. Further, one of the two electrodes serving as a conductor can be separated from the other electrode by a desired distance using a cord (an electric wire covered with vinyl).

Therefore, the therapeutic range is widened and treatment can be performed in a favorable state.
