Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of high-frequency treatment devices, and in particular relates to a high-frequency treatment device using glove-type electrodes. Background Art

[0002] Generally speaking, high-frequency therapy devices apply high-frequency output to the body area in need of treatment, generating deep heat (deep heating). Unlike other frequencies of electrical current, it does not stimulate sensory nerves, allowing it to heat specific areas of body tissue without causing discomfort or muscle contraction. This deep heat also raises tissue temperature, enhances cellular function, and increases blood flow, thus promoting metabolism and muscle activity, relieving pain, and also having a positive effect on skin beauty. Deep heat refers to the bio-heating generated by the rotation, twisting, and collision motions that occur when high-frequency electrical energy is applied to human tissue, causing the molecules to vibrate and rub against each other.

[0003] This high-frequency treatment device needs to be equipped with electrodes that come into contact with human skin. Usually, the electrodes are in the form of flat plates, so there are certain difficulties when treating curved parts of the human body. To solve this problem, Patent 10-1749702 (High-frequency treatment system and wearable high-frequency generator) (hereinafter referred to as "new technology") proposes a glove-shaped electrode. By using this glove-shaped electrode, it is easier to treat curved parts of the human body and provide effects that traditional electrode plates cannot achieve, such as using finger massage or adjusting the strength according to the situation.

[0004] However, the above technology still has some problems. Multiple high-frequency electrodes are positioned on the finger surfaces of the wearable high-frequency generator glove, spaced apart. The treatment area (the human body) is located between the high-frequency electrodes and the grounding pad. During treatment, the glove (the high-frequency electrodes) moves to perform the treatment. However, if the movement of the glove (the high-frequency electrodes) ensures perfect contact with the treatment area (the human body), this poses no problem. However, if the high-frequency electrodes separate from the treatment area (the human body), the contact area between the electrodes and the body may decrease, or a small gap may appear. When the contact area between the electrodes and the body decreases, excessive current may flow through the reduced contact area, generating sparks between the electrodes and the body, potentially causing burns to the patient and the operator. Furthermore, the structure of multiple high-frequency electrodes spaced apart at regular intervals means that the treatment area (the human body) directly contacts the conductive glove (the high-frequency electrodes). When the conductive glove moves away from the treatment area (the human body), sparks may form in the gap between the electrodes and the body, potentially causing burns to the patient and the operator. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a high-frequency treatment device using glove-type electrodes, which can solve the problem that the high-frequency electrodes of existing high-frequency treatment instruments are separated from the treatment area, resulting in a smaller contact area or a small gap between the two. Excessive current will flow through the smaller contact area to generate sparks, posing a risk of burns.

At the same time, the high-frequency output control 120 generates a set high-frequency signal and outputs it to the high-frequency amplifier 130. The high-frequency amplifier 130 amplifies the high-frequency signal output from the high-frequency output control 120 and inputs it into the glove-type electrode 200 and the pad electrode 300.
