Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, in existing ear stimulation devices, only static force or vibration is applied in the vertical direction with respect to the auricle
In this regard, in the existing ear stimulation device, there may be insufficient stimulation of the ear.

[0078] Figure 1A ~ Figure 1D It is a schematic diagram of the ear stimulation device 100 in the first embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the first embodiment, the contacts 102 are illustrated by solid lines instead of dashed lines. This is for easy understanding of the arrangement of the contacts 102 . The actual contacts 102 are arranged inside the case portion 160 constituting the housing of the ear stimulation device 100 and are not exposed to the surface.

[0079] The ear stimulation device 100 of the first embodiment is configured to include at least a first unit 161 and a second unit 162 , a plurality of contacts 102 , an actuator 106 , and a first control unit 30 . The first unit 161 and the second unit 162 can hold the ear by sandwiching the auricle 110 of the human ear. The plurality of contacts 102 are arranged in the first unit 161 at least at positions capable of contacting the front side 110F of the auricle 110 . In the contacts ...

Abstract

An ear stimulating apparatus includes first and second units capable of clipping on an auricle and gripping an ear, a plurality of contacts arranged in the first unit at least at positions where the contacts are capable of being brought into contact with a front side of the auricle, and an actuator that moves the contacts in the longitudinal direction of the first unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an ear stimulation device for applying stimulation to human ears. Background technique [0002] There are more than 100 acupuncture points in the human ear. Therefore, devices that press the ear for the purpose of reducing fatigue or edema (edema) have been proposed. For example, there is an ear stimulation device that reciprocates a tip toward an acupuncture point of the ear (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0003] Figure 27 It is a configuration diagram of a conventional ear stimulation device disclosed in Patent Document 1. The conventional ear stimulation device 1 is mounted on the ear by means of a fixture 2 . A conventional ear stimulation device 1 is composed of a vibrating terminal 3 for contacting an acupoint of the ear and a vibrating device 4 for reciprocating the vibrating terminal 3 toward the auricle. Here, the auricle refers to a portion protruding outward in a human ear. [0004] In addi...
