The present invention relates to a thermotherapy device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Treatment has been carried out by applying a magnetic field to the affected area such as stiff shoulders, muscle aches or the like, or by applying a low frequency or high frequency electric pulse to the affected area. In addition, depending on the type of affected area, the affected area is warmed and treated.

If magnetic fields, electric pulses and heat are applied to the affected area at the same time, effective treatment can be achieved by synergistic effects, but there has been no therapeutic device that can realize this. The present invention clarifies a magnetic / pulse / thermotherapy device that can simultaneously apply magnetism, electric pulse, and heat to the affected area.

[0004]

The magnetic / pulse / thermotherapy device of the present invention comprises a pair of rare earth-based plastic bonding magnets.
A power source is connected to each of (1) and (2) (hereinafter referred to as a rare earth-based bonded magnet, which is a common name of those skilled in the art), and one electrode of the low-frequency or high-frequency electric pulse generator (6) is connected to the one of Energizing circuit (3) for rare earth plastic bonding magnet (1)
The other electrode of the electric pulse generator (6) is connected to the energizing circuit (4) of the other rare earth-based plastic bonding magnet (2).

[0005]

[Action and effect] A magnet (1) on the affected area such as stiff shoulders and muscle aches
Apply (2) and turn on the respective energizing circuits (3) (4) of the magnet and the switches (33) (43) of the electric pulse generator (6). The rare earth-based plastic bonding magnets (1) and (2) are not insulators like ferrite magnets and are semi-conductive. Therefore, the rare earth-based plastic bonding magnets (1) and (2) are bonded to each other via the affected part of the human body via the affected part. An electric current flows with a frequency. The semiconductive rare earth-based bonded magnet (1) generates heat within a short time due to electric resistance.

As described above, a single magnetic / pulse / thermotherapy device can apply low-frequency or high-frequency pulses, magnetism and heat to the affected area, and can effectively heal muscle fatigue in the affected area.

Conventionally, a therapeutic device that applies magnetism and a therapeutic device that generates low-frequency or high-frequency electric pulses or heat are separate, and even if it is difficult to use them at the same time, the low-frequency Alternatively, high frequency electric pulse, magnetism and heat can be simultaneously applied to enhance the therapeutic effect.

Further, according to the present invention, a rare earth bond magnet is used.
In the case of (1), no heat is generated above the temperature at which the human body is burned (about 60 ° C.), and the problem of causing burns to the human body does not occur. This is because the resin binder expands due to the heat generation of the rare-earth bonded magnet (1), electrical conduction failure occurs, and the energization is cut off. When the magnet cools down, the electricity is supplied again, that is, the resin binder expands and contracts. Is a rare earth plastic bonding magnet
This is probably because it plays the role of switching for the energizing circuit of (1).
