There is a heating device. Because cancer is also referred to as a systemic disease, advanced cancers can also metastasize. Therefore, whole body heating is considered effective for advanced cancer. Above all, whole-body warming using radiation by far infrared rays and the like has shown a remarkable therapeutic effect on terminal cancer, and various studies are underway. The rectal temperature is defined as the deep temperature, and the temperature is increased to about 42 ° C. in a heating chamber called a chamber and maintained for about 1 hour.

かかるという問題があった。However, in the heating method using far-infrared rays, the air temperature inside the chamber reaches 50 to 60 ° C. For this reason, the heart rate and blood pressure also rise sharply, resulting in a hot sensation, which requires a deep anesthesia depth, and has a problem that lung cancer patients with severe respiratory depression cannot be treated. Also, the heated air layer has large thermal energy,
It is difficult to keep the body temperature constant while it is in the chamber. Therefore, after reaching 42 degrees, the human body is taken out of the chamber and covered with a heat-insulating wrap, and the body temperature is adjusted by the way of the wrap, so that there has been a problem that temperature management takes time and labor.

It is converted to heat deeper than far-infrared rays and rarely raises air temperature. In addition, since the air temperature is not high, the body temperature can be easily adjusted. However, there is a problem that burns may occur under the skin due to high energy. An object of the present invention is to solve these problems in whole body heating using radiation.

That is, a far-infrared heating element and a near-infrared heating element are provided inside the chamber, and the heating element is divided into several blocks, so that radiant energy is efficiently transmitted to the human body. In addition, by providing a coolant circulation panel, the radiation efficiency is increased without heating the air layer by filtering the near infrared visible light region etc., or the heart rate is raised by radiating heat on the skin surface while heating below the dermis The aim is to reduce the burden on the human body such as an increase in respiratory rate. In the apparatus for implementing them, far-infrared heating elements (2a, 2b, 2c) are installed above the chamber (1a), and near-infrared heating elements (3a, 3b, 3c) are installed below and inside the chamber (1a).

できる。DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A patient is placed in a chamber (1a), laid on a bed (1b), and a far-infrared heating element (2a, 2) is placed.
When power is started to be supplied to the near-infrared heating elements (3a, 3b, 3c) and the near-infrared heating elements (3b, 2c), the radiation is strengthened within a few minutes and the human body is heated. At this time, the far-infrared rays are rapidly converted to heat at a subcutaneous level of about 0.5 mm near the surface of the body, and the temperature of the subcutaneous dermis layer rises rapidly. Near-infrared rays have a deeper subcutaneous heat absorption depth than far-infrared rays, and are converted into heat within a few millimeters of the subcutaneous area, and heat a portion closer to the center of the human body. At this time, the coolant circulated through the coolant circulation panel (5) absorbs heat on the skin surface and suppresses the feeling of heat. When water is used as the coolant for the coolant circulation panel (5), the air is less likely to be heated. Water is
Since visible light other than near infrared rays is cut, convection and heat transfer in the atmosphere can be suppressed, and the radiation effect can be further enhanced. In addition, since the heating is performed by being divided into several blocks, the body temperature of a specific part does not become too high or too low. Since near-infrared rays are large energy, burns under the skin are usually a concern.However, in this device, a film of heat due to far-infrared rays is formed under the skin, and heat radiation from the dermis layer is promoted while promoting heat radiation from the body surface. Since it is suppressed, it is possible to heat with a necessary minimum amount of energy which is less likely to cause a burn. Therefore, the heating in which the far infrared rays and the near infrared rays are combined as in the present invention acts so that the radiant energy is efficiently transmitted to the human body, and the human body can be heated without increasing the air temperature much.

And help the human body absorb heat.
The humidifier (15) has a function of promoting ionization by water molecules in the atmosphere. The heat on the skin surface is absorbed by the coolant circulation panel (5) and is radiated to the atmosphere by the heat exchanger (8). This heats the body below the dermis layer, but the temperature of the skin surface in contact with the air is suppressed, and the heat on the skin surface is prevented from rising rapidly. Hot feeling is related to the temperature of the skin surface, and even if the body temperature below the dermis rises, if the skin surface temperature is low, the burden on the human body can be suppressed,
Heart rate and blood pressure can be prevented from rising. In addition, since a less heat sensation reduces the amount of anesthesia, the amount of anesthesia is suppressed, so that respiration is suppressed by a deep anesthesia depth. Can be done. The fact that the burden on the human body is small means that it may be possible to treat patients with terminally ill cancer with weak physical strength.

る。As described above, since the body temperature is raised without increasing the air temperature around the human body and the skin surface temperature so much, the heating to the human body can be suppressed. Further, since there is no large heat energy around the human body, the human body can easily sense a slight change in the radiated energy. Therefore, fine adjustment of the body temperature can be performed by the control function of the apparatus, and the body temperature management of the patient can be performed safely and easily. Furthermore, since the minimum amount of radiant energy is required by effective radiation of energy, the device can be downsized,
It can be inexpensive and promote the spread of hyperthermia. Hyperthermia can eliminate or reduce the use of anticancer drugs, thereby minimizing the side effects of the drugs and also reducing the medical expenses, which have risen sharply in recent years. The physiological response caused by the rise in body temperature can be applied to various biological theories, and the development of new physical therapies such as rheumatism and ventilation, prevention of infection during surgery, prevention of hypothermia during awakening of anesthesia after surgery, and treatment of immunodeficiency cases. Can contribute.
