DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pulse cosmetic device for connecting a pulse power source to an electrode which is in conductive contact with each part of a human body and electrically stimulating a living body to perform a beauty treatment.
In particular, it relates to the electrode.

[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. The pulse beauty device artificially supplies a pulse current from the outside to stimulate a living body, thereby activating cell activity in the same manner as a bioelectric current, and evoking muscle contraction to enhance biological functions. .

[0003] The electrodes of the pulse beauty device include a sucker electrode used for an electrocardiogram and the like which is directly attached to each part of the human body,
There are clamp electrodes and the like which are used by directly sandwiching each part of the human body. All of these electrodes are cumbersome to attach and have a small contact area, so it has been difficult to reliably attach them to desired locations such as acupoints.

[0004] As an alternative to these electrodes, there is a band-shaped sheet electrode in which the trouble of mounting is eliminated and the contact area is increased. The sheet electrode is used by laying it on a mat or the like and immediately lying on its back or lying on its side, or being wound directly around a part of the body. Since the sheet electrode is used sideways like this, its posture is limited,
There are drawbacks such as the movement is restricted because it is wrapped around the body and used. In particular, there was a feeling of resistance to lying naked.

Accordingly, the present invention provides an electrode which can be used without being naked and lying down like a conventional sheet electrode, and is not restricted in posture or restricted in movement. It was done for the purpose.

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, a planar electrode made of a flexible material is mounted on the inner surface of the tights, a pulse power source is connected to the planar electrode, and between the planar electrodes at adjacent positions. It is characterized in that a pulse is applied in a time series and an electrode for applying the pulse is changed toward the center of the body.
According to the invention of claim 2, a plurality of planar electrodes made of a flexible material are mounted on the inner surface of the tights, a pulse power source is connected to the planar electrodes, and any planar electrode is used as a parent electrode. In this method, a plurality of planar electrodes are used as child electrodes, and a pulse is passed in time series between the parent and the child while changing the corresponding child electrode, and the child electrode flowing the pulse is changed toward the center of the body. The invention according to claim 3 is that a plurality of planar electrodes made of a flexible material are mounted on the inner surface of the tights, a pulse power source is connected to the planar electrodes, and a pulse is applied in time series between the planar electrodes at symmetrical positions. It is characterized in that the electrode for flowing the pulse is changed toward the center of the body while the pulse is flowing.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a pulse beauty device embodying the present invention. The pulse beauty device reads the type of treatment and the power supply pattern designated by the operation unit 1 from the memory 3 by the CPU 2, and outputs a digital trigger signal obtained by dividing the clock pulse of the reference clock generator 4 based on these types and patterns. / O interface 5 and D
The pulse is input to the pulse generator 7 via the / A converter 6, generates a pulse having a predetermined width and frequency, and supplies the pulse to the primary side of the transformer T1.

A transformer T2 is connected in parallel with the transformer T1, and a current detection circuit 8 is connected to the transformer T2 to measure a current value and monitor whether an overcurrent is flowing. The detection current detected by the current detection circuit 8 is input to the CPU 2 via the A / D converter 9 and the I / O interface 5, and when the current value exceeds the reference, the current protection circuit 1
When 0, the cutoff switch 11 is operated to cut off the circuit.

One ends of switching circuits 12A and 12B are connected to one end and the other end on the secondary side of the transformer T1, respectively.
The other ends of the switching circuits 12A and 12B are made common, and the planar electrodes EL1 to EL6 and ER1 to E are connected via a connector C.
R6 is branched and connected. Switching circuits 12A, 12B
Is a photocoupler-connected switching circuit, which performs switching by energizing an arbitrary photocoupler according to output signals of the corresponding switching units 13A and 13B. As a result, a predetermined pulse current is applied by arbitrarily combining the planar electrodes EL1 to EL6 and ER1 to ER6 based on the specified type of treatment and power supply pattern.

[0015] The type of treatment is 5 to 10 Hz.
Stimulates the deep part of the body with low-frequency pulses, exercises skeletal muscles to stimulate blood circulation, and toning that has the effect of rubbing and loosening the body, and stimulating the surface of the body with high-frequency pulses of 20 to 100 Hz. There is a drainage that has the effect of exercising the muscles of the upper layer to promote the flow of lymph and remove edema.

The drainage and the toning include special drainage and special toning in which the stimulus is changed by cyclically raising and lowering the pulse voltage. In addition to normal drainage and toning, in which pulses are simultaneously applied to a plurality of electrodes, time-series drainage in which pulses are applied to a plurality of electrodes in a time-sequential manner and time-sequential toning, or multiple simultaneous operations in a time-division manner. There are time division drainage and time division toning in which a pulse is applied between the electrodes.

Basically, the power supply pattern of the electrode tights A is as follows.

In each of these power supply patterns, the pulse moves toward the center of the body, and the muscle is stimulated to push out the lymph and blood toward the heart, thereby improving the flow of the stagnated lymph and blood. is there. Also, since the electrode tights A properly press the lower body from the outside and tighten it,
These actions work synergistically to eliminate leg swelling due to standing work.

When the electrode tights A are connected to a small portable pulse beauty device B as shown in FIG. 8, the movement is free and the range of action is widened. is there. When the electrode tights A are used in combination with other electrodes such as the electrode gloves D, a pulse can be transmitted by combining the lower body and other parts, so that the treatment effect can be superimposed.

[0023]

As described above, in the present invention, the treatment of the pulse beauty device is performed by wearing tights with a flexible planar electrode attached to the inner surface. Therefore, according to the present invention, since it is not naked as in the related art, the treatment can be easily performed even in public. Further, since it is not necessary to lie down as in the prior art, the user can stand, sit, work, talk, exercise, and enjoy the treatment easily in various postures. Further, by adjusting the size of the tights, the positions of the electrodes are determined according to the body shape of each person, so that anyone can surely hit an effective acupoint and perform the treatment. Furthermore, the means for changing the electrode for flowing the pulse toward the center of the body moves the part for applying the pulse toward the center,
It stimulates muscles and pushes out lymph and blood towards the heart, thus improving the flow of stagnant lymph and blood.
