Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric potential therapeutic device for inducing a high voltage to a human body and treating headache, stiff shoulder, insomnia, chronic constipation and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A potential treatment device is a treatment device for inducing a high voltage in a human body by using a high voltage generating transformer that has been subjected to a primary and secondary high voltage insulation process. It is known that sufficient safety measures are required.

As shown in FIG. 3, a protective resistor is installed in order to prevent electric shock due to overcurrent. The protective resistor 42 ″ is short-circuited to the ground on the input side of the protective resistor 41 ″. In the case of occurrence of the short circuit, the overcurrent from the primary side of the high voltage transformer 2 ″ is limited, and the protective resistor 41 ″ causes a short circuit accident due to the breakdown of the insulating sheet 32 ″ for insulating the energizing electrode 31 ″ from the ground. In this case, the high voltage transformer 2 ″ is for protecting the human body from electric shock by preventing overcurrent from the secondary side.
Since 2 ″ and 41 ″ are formed by being mounted on the substrate installed outside the high-voltage transformer 2 ″, the risk of the above-mentioned short-circuit accident occurring over time on the wiring is not 0%. On the other hand, it was installed to enhance safety as much as possible.

Also, one terminal 26 "of the secondary winding of the high voltage transformer 2" is connected to the primary winding via a protective resistance 42 ", and the other terminal 25" is connected via a protective resistance 41 ". Connected to the energizing electrode 31 ″. The current-carrying electrode 31 ″ is formed by attaching or coating a conductor film such as a metal foil or a carbon film on a carrier made of a dielectric sheet such as vinyl chloride or polypropylene. Is
Since there is a high risk of destruction over time or mechanically, as a countermeasure against this, a high withstand voltage insulating sheet 32 ″ made of vinyl chloride or other material is used for coating.

At the time of treatment, the human body is brought into contact with the current carrying sheet 3 "composed of the current carrying electrode 31" and the insulating sheet 32 "to induce a high voltage in the human body. The current-carrying electrodes must be covered with a high-voltage insulating film to prevent ground arc discharge accidents.

[0005]

Disadvantages of the prior art However, when contacting the human body,
Since the energizing sheet 3 ″ is almost equal to the ambient temperature, it has a drawback that it gives a person who uses the electric potential therapy device a cold sensation in the low temperature season.

[0006] Therefore, if a heater is separately provided from the commercial power source by electric heating to provide heat in the vicinity of the current-carrying electrode 31 ", the high voltage side approaches the low voltage side.
There is a high risk of inducing insulation failure and lowering the voltage of the current-carrying electrode 31 ″, making it difficult to commercialize.

[0007] Further, in order to maintain the insulation in order to prevent the voltage drop of the current-carrying electrode, the current-carrying electrode and the heater are
Is required, and the thickness of the current-carrying sheet including the current-carrying electrode, the heater, and the insulating film becomes large, so that it cannot be installed and used directly under the supine human body.

Further, it is not suitable in terms of therapeutic effect and safety to install a heater input from a power source of the same level as the commercial power source in the vicinity of the energizing electrode 31 ".
