いま、プラグ２４を図示しないレセプタクルに
差しこんで温熱治療器１０に通電する。 Now, the plug 24 is inserted into a receptacle (not shown) to energize the thermotherapy device 10.
発熱体１７は前記のように例えばポリエチレン

とともに発熱体１７の温度と発熱体１７に流れる
電流が変わつてゆく状態の一例を第４図に示す。 As mentioned above, the heating element 17 is, for example, a mixture of polyethylene glycol and carbon graphite powder, and FIG. 3 shows an example of the relationship between the temperature and resistance value of the heating element 17 when energized, and the energization time. FIG. 4 shows an example of a state in which the temperature of the heating element 17 and the current flowing through the heating element 17 change accordingly.

熱体１７の抵抗値が急速に上昇する特殊な現象が
発生する。その結果、第４図に示すように電流は
減少して一定値に落ち着き、また発熱体１７の温
度も一定値（約摂氏50度）になる。 As is clear from FIG. 3, this is a special phenomenon in which the temperature of the heating element 17 increases when electricity is applied, and when the temperature exceeds a certain point, the polyethylene glycol completely melts and the resistance value of the heating element 17 rapidly increases. occurs. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the current decreases and settles at a constant value, and the temperature of the heating element 17 also becomes a constant value (approximately 50 degrees Celsius).
この発熱体１７が到達する一定値の温度は、ポ

化させることが出来る。このように、発熱体１７
は自己温度調節機能を有していることが判る。 The constant temperature reached by this heating element 17 varies between approximately 30 and 60 degrees Celsius, which is an appropriate temperature as a heat source for low-temperature heating, by adjusting the amount of carbon graphite mixed in polyethylene glycol. I can do it. In this way, the heating element 17
It can be seen that it has a self-temperature regulating function.
更に、発熱体１７は通電されることによつて遠
赤外線も放射することが判明している。 Furthermore, it has been found that the heating element 17 also emits far infrared rays when energized.
従つて、温熱治療器１０に通電した場合、発熱

よび骨などが熱せられる。 Therefore, when the thermotherapy device 10 is energized, not only heat but also far infrared rays are emitted from the heating element 17, so that the surface of the human body is exposed to the heat, and the inside of the human body is affected by the far infrared rays. The muscles, internal organs, and bones in the body become heated.

考案の効果
以上説明したように、本考案によれば、温熱治
療器の内部に遠赤外線面ヒータを内蔵させたの
で、下記のような利点がある。Effects of the Invention As explained above, according to the present invention, the far-infrared surface heater is built into the thermotherapy device, so there are the following advantages.
遠赤外線面ヒータの発熱温度は、発熱体であ

イトの混合体の混合比を調節して、摂氏60度以
下としてあるので、発熱体に対する特別な断熱

つて例えばAC12Vに落としているので遠赤外
線面ヒータの絶縁物の損傷等が発生しても温熱
治療器が発火したり、或いは感電の恐れは無
い。 The heat generation temperature of the far-infrared surface heater is kept below 60 degrees Celsius by adjusting the mixture ratio of the heating element, polyethylene glycol and carbon graphite, so there is no need for special insulation for the heating element. Furthermore, since the power supply voltage is reduced to, for example, AC12V by a transformer, there is no risk of the thermal treatment device catching fire or electric shock even if the insulation of the far-infrared surface heater is damaged.
遠赤外線面ヒータは、前記のように発熱体の
温度の上昇につれて、発熱体に流れる電流が減
少するので消費電流即ち消費電力が小さく、ま
た遠赤外線は温熱治療器に通電後短時間で発生
するので、温熱治療器に通電後短時間で温感を
得ることが出来る。 In far-infrared surface heaters, as the temperature of the heating element increases, the current flowing through the heating element decreases, so the current consumption, that is, the power consumption, is small, and far-infrared rays are generated in a short time after electricity is applied to the heat treatment device. Therefore, a warm sensation can be obtained in a short time after electricity is applied to the thermotherapy device.

表面のみしか加熱されないが、本温熱治療器に

る。 In conventional thermotherapy devices, only the surface of the human skin is heated, but in this thermotherapy device, the surface of the skin and the inside of the human body are heated by the heat emitted from the far-infrared surface heater and the far-infrared rays, respectively. Therefore, comfortable heating is achieved.
本温熱治療器は直接人体へ装着できるので、
家庭において使用可能である。 This thermotherapy device can be attached directly to the human body, so
It can be used at home.
発熱体には自己温度制御機能があるので温度
制御装置は不要である。 Since the heating element has a self-temperature control function, a temperature control device is not required.
