DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
A valve mechanism relating to an adsorption conductor, wherein an air passage in the adsorption conductor is closed when the adsorption conductor separates from the human skin.

Conventionally, first, there has been no one in which the receiving member of the suction conductor hose is closed when the suction conductor is removed at the connecting portion between the suction conductor and the suction conductor hose.

Secondly, when the suction guide hose is removed at the connecting portion between the receiving tool attached to the panel surface of the box containing the suction pump and the suction guide hose, the receiver attached to the panel surface is removed. None of the fillings were blocked.

Therefore, even when the suction conductor is not adsorbed to the skin of the human body, the suction conductor must be attached together with the suction conductor hose to the receiving member attached to the panel surface. Was complicated by a large number of suction guide hoses, and it was confusing and inconvenient when taking out a desired suction guide.

[0007] Alternatively, when the suction guide hose is pulled out from the receiver attached to the panel surface, it is necessary to insert a blind lid into the receiver, which is troublesome. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a self-sealing connector for a low frequency treatment device that allows the suction conductor hose to be easily taken out and handled.

An electrode plug 17 is provided so as to project in parallel with the tubular plug 5.

A conductor wire 18 is connected to the electrode plug 17, and the conductor wire 18 reaches the suction conductor 12 along the suction conductor hose 9 and is connected to the electrode 8 in the suction conductor 12. The conducting wire 18 obtains the low frequency power generated in the box 13 from the electrode jack 19 and guides it to the electrode 8. The electrode 8 is a suction conductor 1 provided as a pair with another electrode (not shown).
Each of the two is in contact with the human epidermis and a low frequency current is passed between the pair of electrodes.

In the third embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the valve body 3 in the first embodiment is not provided with the other notch 7, but a plug notch 23 is formed at the tip of the tubular plug 5 in the advancing direction. . When the tubular plug 5 is inserted into the conduit 2, the tubular plug 5 comes into close contact with the valve body 3, but at this time, the plug notch 23 serves as an air passage.

In the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the valve body 3 in the first embodiment is changed to a slide valve body 24 which is movably inserted into the pipe body 1. The pipe line 2 is additionally formed with a step portion 26 that is in close contact with the entire circumference of one side surface of the slide valve body 24.
An opening 28 serving as an air passage is provided at a predetermined position on the lateral side of the pipe body 1.
Is additionally provided, and a spring 25 for pressing the slide valve body 24 against the step portion 26 is additionally provided. When the tubular plug 5 is inserted into the pipe body 1, the plug 5 pushes the slide valve body 24 against the spring 25 inwardly of the pipe body 1 to separate the slide valve body 24 from the step portion 26. Unblock the passage.

In the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 8, the slide valve body 24 in the fourth embodiment is formed into a cylindrical shape and a hole 2 is provided at a predetermined side position.
7 is changed to a cylindrical valve body 30 having an opening. The spring 25 is provided so as to push out and urge the tubular valve body 27. When the tubular plug 5 is inserted into the tubular body 1, the plug 5
Pushes the tubular valve body 27 against the spring 25 toward the inner depth of the pipe body 1, aligns the hole 27 with the opening 28, and creates an air passage.

In the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 9, the pipe body 1 in the first embodiment is changed to a pipe body 29 with a thick valve in which a protruding thick portion 21 is formed inside the pipe body 1. It is a thing. When the tubular plug 5 is inserted into the thick-walled valve-equipped tube body 29, the plug 5 pushes the protruding thick-walled portion 21 and expands it to open the air passage.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION In the pipe body 1 according to the present invention , the air passage thereof is normally closed or narrowed, and the pipe body 1 is opened only when the tubular plug 5 is inserted, and the pipe body 1 and the tubular plug 5 are opened. The suction conductor 12 that is not used because it communicates
When the tubular plug 5 according to (1) is pulled out, the tubular body 1 corresponding to the plug 5 is automatically closed or narrowed.

Therefore, since it is not necessary to attach a blind lid to the tubular body 1 after the tubular plug 5 is pulled out, the suction conductor 12 which is not used or the suction conductor hose 9 relating to the suction conductor 12 which is not used. The device can be used as it is even if it is taken out from the tube body 1. Therefore, the unused suction guide hose 9 may be appropriately removed to use the device, and as a result, the suction guide hose 9 is free from crosstalk and is easy to handle. Further, since the work of attaching the blind lid is unnecessary, the work is simplified and convenient for use.

When the tubular plug 5 of the present invention is inserted into the tubular body 1, the valve body 3 (in the specific example, the slide valve body 24).
Acts, and a gap is created in the close contact portion between the pipe 2 and the valve body 3 to release the closing action. Therefore, simply inserting the tubular plug 5 releases the closing action and the air passage in the pipe 2 is released. Since it is opened and no special operation is required, there is no fear of operation mistakes, which is convenient.

The tubular plug 5 in the present invention, when inserted into the tube 1 acts valve body 3, the conduit 2 has been extended by a gap in the adhesion portion between the pipe 2 inside wall and the valve element 3 outer periphery Since the closing action is released, the receiving member 4 has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost, which is convenient.

A connecting tool consisting of the tubular body 1 and the tubular plug 5 is
In the case of the one provided in the middle of the communication path from the suction pump 10 to the suction pump, when the tubular plug 5 is not inserted into the pipe body 1, the pipe line 2 is blocked and the suction pump 10 does not enter the outside air, and the tubular plug 5 is inserted. When it is opened, since the pipe line 2 is opened and the suction force is applied to the suction conductor 12, the suction capability of the suction pump 10 does not decrease even if the tubular plug 5 is pulled out and the receiving tool 4 is left as it is. Therefore, when the tubular plug 5 is pulled out from the receiver 4, there is no inconvenience that the other suction conductor 12 used at the same time falls off from the human body skin. There is an effect that the suction conductor 12 can be used without anxiety.
