Description

Magnetic therapy equipment

The present invention relates to a device for relieving pain such as low back pain by the action of a magnetic field that performs rotational motion, linear motion, and pendulum motion. Background art

Conventionally, as a health device using magnets, there is a device that attaches a small magnet to a shoulder or the like and removes a corner, and is sold in large quantities. In this case, the magnetic field generated from the static magnetic field has a positive effect on the human body, but the credibility of the effect is uncertain. In some cases, such a magnet is used as a neckless shake, or a slot, and the movement from a static magnetic field to a dynamic magnetic field is caused by slight shaking. However, this is not much different from the static magnetic field itself, and the effect is the same as above.

As an alternative, there is a therapeutic device using alternating current electromagnetic, which uses an electromagnet. It is said that this therapeutic device using alternating current electromagnetic waves has a blood circulation promoting effect, and is effective for chronic diseases such as low back pain, muscle pain, neuralgia, indefinite complaints, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, and sequelae of cerebral infarction. Have been reported (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1). If you use an electromagnetic treatment device and apply alternating magnetism to your body, you will feel that the part becomes slightly warmer and your blood circulation will improve, and you will also find that the thermograph and ultrasonic color Doppler blood flow Investigations with measuring equipment have confirmed this fact.

The major problem with the electromagnet used in this case is that it requires the use of an AC power supply, and requires an iron core and wound coils. As a result, the electromagnet becomes heavy, and the treatment device itself becomes large and heavy. In the case of electromagnets, heat is generated by resistance heating of the coil and magnetic loss of the iron core. In this case, there is an advantage that the generated heat can be used to heat the affected part of the human body, but it is not possible to limit the amount of heat generated, and the heat is gradually stored in the device, and even if unnecessary, it is stopped There is a disadvantage that it cannot be done. In addition, although a therapeutic device using AC electromagnetics is affected by both magnetic and electric fields, as described above, both the externally generated heat from the instrument and the heat generated by the electromagnetic field of the human body Has to be controlled. For this reason, the therapeutic effect of heating the affected part by the above-mentioned heat storage naturally appears in a conventional therapeutic device that uses alternating current electromagnetic. It can be a little different from a compress.

The present invention is light weight, easy to handle, does not generate unnecessary heat, and provides similar treatment or health to animals such as pets for the affected area, treatment area or health promotion. An object is to obtain a magnetic therapy device suitable for enhancement.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

FIG. 1 is a schematic explanatory view showing an example of a plurality of annular magnets arranged on a rotating body, and FIG. 2 is a schematic explanatory view showing another example of a plurality of annular magnets arranged on a rotating body. FIG. 3 is a schematic explanatory view showing an example in which a support for supporting a rotating substrate is provided. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The magnetic therapy apparatus of the present invention is, for example, one in which a plurality of N poles and S poles of a permanent magnet are alternately arranged, and these are mechanically rotated, linearly or pendulum-moved. In this case, the N and S poles of the magnet can be alternately arranged in a ring shape on the horizontal substrate via the magnetic plate. When the magnets are rotated, they need not necessarily be disks, and may be arranged on a surface of a frusto-conical substrate, for example. The size of this magnetic therapy device can be made from a large waist size or as small as a battery-powered rotary shaver, but if a frusto-conical substrate as described above is used, Rotating shaving type magnets for affected areas such as stiff shoulders, muscle pain, and back pain All you have to do is apply the Qi therapy device. As described above, the magnetic therapy apparatus of the present invention does not require an AC power supply, and can be operated with a dry battery, and thus has an advantage that it is portable and easy to carry.

The arrangement of the magnets may be arranged rotationally symmetrical, but may also be arranged rotationally asymmetrically. It can also be a double or triple cyclic sequence. In addition to a hard plate-shaped magnet, the structure of the magnetic therapy device, such as a slightly thicker one, a curved one according to the shape of the substrate, a flexible one, a thin one, etc. It can be selected appropriately according to the application. There are no particular restrictions on the types of magnets, such as rubber magnets, ring-shaped sintered magnets, bonded magnets (magnets made of a mixture of resin and magnetic powder), sheet alloy magnets, sheet iron magnets, and magnets. No-composite magnet (Fe-Co-Nd-Dy-B metallic glass powder produced by the rapid solidification method is solidified and molded into a true-density ark material in the supercooled liquid region, and this is nanocrystallized by heat treatment. Magnets with a large energy product of the order of 120 kJZm3) can be used.

Furthermore, vibration can be applied to the substrate by decentering the center axis of the rotating substrate on which the magnet is mounted or by shifting the gravity balance of the magnets arranged. This will serve to as a vibrator and foremost, Ru can and this to make a _double role of a magnetic treatment and the pipes granulator using the same rotary device. Magnet

If the structure is such that the mechanical movement of the N and S poles is generated violently, the oscillating magnetic field can be generated by rotational movement, linear movement or pendulum movement. Among them, the rotary motion has the advantage that the structure can be simplified. Normally, the motor is rotated, linearly or pendulum-moved by an electric motor. Further, the rotational movement, the linear movement or the pendulum movement speed can be made variable. Thereby, it is possible to adjust the amount of exercise or the speed corresponding to the affected area or the treatment. FIG. 1 shows an example of a plurality of ring magnets arranged on a rotating body. As shown in this example, the N pole and the S pole alternate along the circumference of the rotating body through a magnetic plate, such as iron or Ni, which serves as a magnetic flux passage. They are arranged like this. The back surfaces of the magnets have opposite poles, and have a structure fixed to the magnetic plate. Fig. 2 shows another example in which N and S poles are arranged alternately along the circumference of the rotating body via a magnetic plate in the same manner. It has a structure that becomes the opposite electrode on the inner side and the inner side. For example, a commercially available rubber magnet may be cut and attached to the magnets to be arranged. As described above, the magnetic therapy apparatus of the present invention has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and has an extremely simple operation. The magnetic plate prevents the magnetic flux of the magnet from flowing into the magnetic plate and causing a magnetic flux to leak to a motor located below the magnetic plate, thereby preventing the motor from malfunctioning. It is for.

The rotation of the magnetic pole of the magnet changes the magnetic field, and can provide the same effect as the above-described therapeutic device using AC electromagnetic. It was confirmed that when the magnetic therapy apparatus of the present invention was applied to the affected part or the treatment part of the body, the part became slightly warm and blood circulation improved. This magnetic therapy device does not cause damage by directly using part or all of the human body, but enhances treatment or health by approaching or touching it. Also, unlike a therapeutic device that generates an AC electromagnetic field, it is simply a rotation of a magnet, so it has the advantage of not generating extra Joule heat, etc., and has a lightweight and simple structure. It has an excellent effect.

If the rotating substrate carrying the magnet via the magnetic plate is thin, stable rotation may not be obtained. Also, the above When a structure is used to apply vibration to the substrate, the substrate rotating at a high speed may be shaken, and the structure may be further unstable. Figure

Fig. 3 shows an example in which a support for supporting the rotating substrate is provided.A fixed support for supporting the rotating substrate 3 carrying the magnet 2 via the magnetic plate 8 in the case 1 in Fig. 3 is shown. It is desirable to provide body 4. Further, a mirror-polished CVD diamond film or a solid such as polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon (registered trademark)) or graphite sheet is provided between the support 4 and the rotating substrate 3. A lubricant 5 can be formed. These may be formed on the surface on the support side or on the back surface of the rotating substrate 3. In particular, the diamond film has extremely high thermal conductivity and does not store heat, and the mirror-surface diamond film has excellent lubricity, which is favorable for stably supporting a rotating substrate that rotates at high speed. Suitable. In FIG. 3, reference numeral 6 denotes a rotating shaft, and reference numeral 7 denotes a motor.
