Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a ring used to assess the effectiveness of stress diagnosis and autonomic training treatment.

[Conventional technology]

In general, when stress accumulates, people may develop neurological disorders that are accompanied by severe pain or become unable to move parts of their bodies, and people who experience these symptoms generally experience a drop in body temperature in the peripheral parts of their bodies. It is said that there are.

As a treatment to relieve stress, autonomic training involves imagining relaxing things in your head and controlling your mental state so that you feel relaxed so that you can relieve your physical and nervous tension. The method used to check the effectiveness of this treatment method is to use a measuring device that measures the temperature of the peripheral parts of the body, especially the fingertips, which are operated by a specialist doctor. A measured value is found, and the measured value is used as a criterion for determining effectiveness.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

As described above, conventionally, in order to examine the effects of autogenic training methods, expensive measuring instruments had to be used, and measurement required the help of a specialized doctor. Furthermore, if one does not own the measuring tool, one has to go to a well-equipped place, such as a hospital, which is very troublesome.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to
To provide a finger ring having heat-sensitive petals that can be opened and closed, allowing one person to know the effects of autonomic training without the need of a specialized doctor.

[Means for solving problems]

The gist of the present invention to solve the above problems is to form a ring part from a metal with high thermal conductivity, attach petals formed using a shape memory alloy to the ring, and keep the petals at a predetermined temperature close to body temperature. A ring having heat-sensitive petals that can be opened and closed is characterized in that the memory alloy is shaped so that it closes when the following occurs and blooms when the predetermined temperature is exceeded.

[Effect]

The ring 2 is made of a metal with high thermal conductivity, such as gold, and quickly transmits the temperature of the finger wearing the ring 2 to the petals 3. On the other hand, the petals 3 have a shape memorized so that they open when the temperature exceeds a certain level, and are formed to open and close in response to the finger temperature transmitted through the ring 2.

〔Example〕

1 to 9 show examples of the present invention, in which 2a is a metal with good thermal conductivity, 3a and 3
b is a shape memory alloy, 3c is a spring member, 10
is a finger, and 11 is an annular spring.

The first ring 1 according to the present invention as shown in FIG.
As an example, as shown in FIG. 2, a petal 3 made of two layers, the inner side of which is a shape memory alloy 3a and the outer side of which is a spring 3c, is arranged on the top of a ring 2 made of a metal 2a with good thermal conductivity. is possible.

In the petal 3, the shape memory alloy 3a is, for example,
The spring member 3c is designed to have a shape memory so that it warps outward when the temperature exceeds 34° C., while the spring member 3c is designed to always exert an elastic force inward.

The petal 3 configured as described above has a temperature of the finger 10.
When the temperature of the finger 10 is 34°C or higher, the force generated by the transformation of the shape memory alloy 3a resists the elastic force of the spring member 3c, and the finger 10 is in an open state, and conversely, when the temperature of the finger 10 is 34°C or lower, the shape memory alloy 3a is transformed. The force is removed and the spring member 3c becomes closed due to its elastic force. In this way, petals 3 that repeatedly open and close in response to changes in the temperature of the finger 10 are obtained.

In addition, instead of the spring member 3c used in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 as a second embodiment, a shape memory alloy 3 used for the inner layer of the petal 3 is used.
Even if a second shape memory alloy 3b whose transformation temperature is much lower than that of a and whose shape is memorized so that it becomes inwardly curved when the temperature exceeds a certain temperature is used, the petal 3 that performs the same operation as described above can be obtained. can get.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 as a third embodiment, the petal 3 is formed only of the shape memory alloy 3a in the above embodiment, and a telescopic annular spring 11 is provided around the outer periphery of the petal 3. A petal 3 that performs the same operation can also be obtained even if the petal 3 is provided.

In addition, in order to increase the efficiency of heat conduction in the ring 2 part, as shown in the fourth and fifth embodiments in FIGS. One idea is to use alloy 3a.

When the finger ring 1 constructed as described above is worn on the finger 10, when there is no stress and the temperature of the peripheral part is high, the petals 3 open as shown in FIG. 8, and when stress accumulates and the temperature of the peripheral part is low, the petals 3 open. The petal 3 closes as shown in FIG.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, the petals are formed to open when the temperature is above a certain level and close when the temperature is below a certain level, and the finger ring is constructed by attaching the petals to a ring made of a metal with high thermal conductivity. Therefore, by wearing the ring on your finger, you can know the effects of autonomic training by yourself, regardless of time or place.
