[0008]

In the first aspect of the invention, a pair of carbon rods are used as electrodes that are abutted with each other with a minute gap therebetween, and the electric discharge generated between the electrodes burns iron, silicon, aluminum, etc. as metals according to the therapeutic purpose. Thus, a desired light wavelength can be obtained. The light beam generated by the generated discharge can be focused by a reflector and sent as a light source of an optical fiber so that it can be directly radiated to the treatment site. Radiation from the front opening can also be used simultaneously. The heat generated in addition to the light rays by the arc discharge passes through the ventilation path provided on the outer circumference of the optical fiber, is sent to the tip along the outer circumference of the optical fiber by the wind force of the blowing fan, and can be directly blown to the treatment site. Although the light source by the arc radiation is extremely high in temperature, it can be heated to about 40 ° C. as in the case of using the sun rays by the wind from the blower fan and the reflection and radiant heat from the reflecting plate. The blower fan is installed inside the exterior,
Since the exterior portion is located so as to cover the light ray generation portion and has a gap behind, it is safe because the high temperature of the reflector of the light ray generation portion is not directly transmitted to the exterior portion. Multiple installation
Each fiber bends freely
By directly applying the tip to the treatment site,
Treatment by both is more effective.

In the second invention, it is provided on the outer circumference of the optical fiber.
This is a double-structured fiber consisting of
The fibers of the structure are also freely bent, and multiple fibers are attached.
Therefore , the tip of each fiber should be directly applied to the treatment site.
So that both light and heat can be applied at the same time.
it can. The heat generated by the arc discharge and the wind force of the blower fan allows the heat to be transferred to the tip of the ventilation passage as it is.
In addition to radiant rays, the effect of warming and moxibustion is properly obtained, and there is a synergistic effect.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings shown as embodiments. In FIG. 1, 1 is a pair of carbon rods,
A diameter of 12 mm was used. This carbon rod 1 has a support portion 2,
3 are supported so as to be movable in the axial direction, and are separated by a small distance (5
They are arranged so that they are butted apart by about 7 mm). The pair of carbon rods 1 and 1 have a diameter of about 12 mm, and both of them serve as electrodes so that arc discharge is caused by passing a current of 30 amperes. By embedding a metal wire, such as iron or aluminum, in the center of the carbon rod 1 in the axial direction, the wavelength of the light beam during arc discharge can be limited to a desired wavelength. The metal beam is not limited to one kind, and two or more kinds can be used to obtain a desired light ray wavelength. Reference numeral 4 denotes a reflector, which is spherical and has the carbon rod 1 disposed in its inner cavity.

Reference numeral 5 denotes an exterior portion, which covers the entire reflection plate 4 and is attached so that a space is formed in the rear. 6
Is an optical fiber, and 7 is a ventilation path, which is provided on the outer circumference of the optical fiber 6 with a gap, and constitutes a fiber 8 having a double structure. The double-structured fiber 8 including the optical fiber 6 is attachable to and detachable from the reflection plate 4 through the exterior portion 5 and the attachment portion 9 provided outside. 10 is a blower fan,
It is provided inside the exterior part 5. 11 is a wind guide,
The air from the blower fan 10 is introduced into the air passage 7. Reference numeral 12 denotes a carbon rod automatic feeding device, which has a motor 13, a speed reducer 14, etc., and the carbon rod 1 can be fed out by a driving unit 15 such as a roller. Reference numeral 16 denotes a smoke exhausting unit, which is capable of discharging smoke generated by the combustion of the carbon rods to the outside of the room. Reference numeral 17 is an ashing portion. Reference numeral 18 is a support portion, and 19 is a control portion, which is provided with power ON / OFF, a timer and the like. The tip 20 of the fiber 8 is, for example, funnel-shaped so that the tip of the fiber 8 can be directly applied to a region of the patient in need of treatment. Reference numeral 21 indicates the Shibori section.

When a current of 30 amperes is applied to the pair of carbon rods 1 and 1, arc discharge is generated, and light is emitted from the tip portion 20 of the fiber 8 through the optical fiber 6. At the same time, the wind force of the blower fan 10 sends the warm air from the tip 20 through the fiber 8 from the ventilation passage 7. Since the fiber 8 is highly flexible, the distal end portion 20 is directly applied to the acupoint of the human body in need of treatment of the patient, and both the radiation effect by the light beam and the moxibustion effect by the heat are given.

The reflecting plate 4 of the light ray generating portion has a spherical surface and has an inner cavity for efficiently concentrating the light ray of arc discharge on the optical fiber 6. Although the carbon rod 1 decreases with the passage of time due to arc discharge, since the automatic feed device 12 is provided,
The pair of butting intervals is automatically maintained and the arc discharge is continued for a predetermined time. Blower fan 10 in the exterior part 5
By the wind force, the heat can be sufficiently supplied to the tip portion 20 from the ventilation path 7 on the outer periphery of the optical fiber 6 through the fiber 8 and the outer periphery of the reflection plate 4 can be cooled.
It is safe because the heat of arc discharge is not directly transferred to it. The wind guide makes it easy to introduce the wind into the fiber 8 between the exterior portion 5 and the reflection plate 4.

The direct heat generated by the arc discharge becomes radiant heat at the reflecting plate 4, and the heat becomes about 40 ° C. at the tip portion 20 through the fiber 8 together with the direct heat. The shibori portion 21 has a front radiation portion that can be adjusted according to the treatment portion of the patient.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY As described above, the present invention can not only directly deliver the light rays close to the sun rays to the human acupuncture point through the fiber to be used for treatment, but also the heat generated by the arc discharge through the ventilation path of the fiber. By being delivered to the tip of the fiber, both light and heat can be used at the same time and can be effectively used for the treatment of ventilation, rheumatism, neuralgia and many others. It has excellent features such as compactness, safety, and automatic control as a treatment device. The light ray generating device has a good light-collecting effect, and in addition to the light ray being sent by the optical fiber, the heat flow is also sent out at the same time by the ventilation passage provided on the outer periphery, so that the light is efficiently used. It is also possible to provide a smoke exhausting unit to remove a bad odor and to provide a human body acupoint treatment device which is easy to use.
