Description of the Related Art Conventionally, malignant tumors such as cancer and sarcoma have been treated by excision by surgery, irradiation, administration of pharmaceuticals, etc. Even with such a thing, surgery or the like puts a great burden on the human body, the immunity is lowered, and there are problems such as recurrence of tumor and occurrence of morbidity to other diseases. In addition, viral diseases cannot be treated without a suitable vaccine, and there is no cure for AIDS virus infection. In recent years, it has been found that these malignant tumors and viruses are killed and inactivated when heated to a temperature of 40 ° C. or higher, and hyperthermia has attracted attention. Infrared irradiation devices have been manufactured.

装置を提供することにある。However, the treatment method of immersing in hot water is due to heat conduction from the surface of the human body, and it takes a long time to heat the inside of the human body, which imposes a heavy burden on the human body. . Looking at the infrared irradiation device,
It is said that the infrared radiation source used for the devices manufactured up to now and used in the market is a far infrared radiation source, but in reality, it contains a lot of near infrared rays and the infrared radiation source is a single source. It has a structure formed integrally. Since near infrared rays have large energy and low penetrability into the human body, it takes a long time to heat the deep part of the human body,
During this time, the patient needed to be anesthetized and treated to prevent movement of the patient. Furthermore, as a result of being exposed to an infrared radiation source containing a large amount of near infrared rays for a long time, there is also a problem that the amount of energy irradiated to the human body surface increases, causing low-temperature burns to the patient. I had to set up means. The present invention provides an infrared irradiating device for irradiating far infrared rays to a deep part of a human body in a short time, without causing low temperature burns to a patient, and irradiating only far infrared rays capable of arbitrarily setting irradiation intensity for each part of the human body. To provide.

The cover portion has an exterior member, an inner surface panel, and a filling member in between, and the cover portion can be opened and closed to form a space portion for accommodating a human body by the human body placing portion and the cover portion. A device for irradiating far infrared rays from around the human body housed in the body, wherein the human body placing portion and the inner surface panel do not include near infrared rays having a wavelength of 4 μm or less,
It is an infrared irradiating device in which a plurality of infrared radiation sources emitting far infrared rays having a wavelength in the range of 5 to 20 μm, preferably 8 to 12 μm are arranged.

Elevated, but local,
Further, there is no excessive temperature rise, and the energy applied to the human body surface portion does not become high as in the case of using an infrared ray irradiation source containing near infrared rays, and therefore low temperature burns due to heating of the human body surface portion do not occur. Further, as a result of uniformly heating the entire human body, control for measuring and feeding back the temperature of each part of the body is unnecessary, or it can be controlled by a simple device. Furthermore, since the long-wavelength far-infrared rays reach the deep part of the human body, treatment in a short time is possible. Therefore, it is not necessary to irradiate the patient and then irradiate the patient, so that safe treatment can be achieved at low cost.

る。The present invention is also characterized by arranging a plurality of such far infrared radiation sources. That is, since the radiation intensity can be set for each radiation source, it is strong in a necessary portion, for example, a portion where the distance from the body surface to the central portion is large, and the irradiation time is set to be long, and in other portions. The irradiation can be set weak and short, and expensive control devices such as conventional devices can be dispensed with. Another feature of the present invention resides in that a far-infrared radiation source is provided on the human placement surface as well as the inner panel. With this configuration, it is possible to irradiate far infrared rays from the entire surroundings without rotating the human body during treatment, and this feature also contributes to uniform and rapid heating of the entire human body, enabling shortening of treatment time.

Has a total of 22 far-infrared radiation sources with an infrared radiation surface of 10 cm x 23 cm around the human chest, 8 around the human abdomen, 4 on the upper leg, and 2 on the lower leg. One 52 cm × 1580 cm object was placed on the human body placing part 3. The capacity of the heater used for each infrared radiation source is as follows. Heater used for infrared radiation source on inner panel 6c: 30
0W Used for infrared radiation source of human body rest part 3 Heater: 150W The capacity of the heater used for human body rest part is small because the human body is directly attached to the human body rest part. Because of the short distance between the infrared radiation source and the human body and the small attenuation, a small capacity heater is sufficient. In FIG. 3, the infrared radiation sources are shown arranged in parallel to the cylindrical axis, but they may not be parallel and each infrared radiation source may be rotatably mounted. Moreover, the temperature in the space 5 is 60 ° C. ± 5 ° C.
