The present invention provides a bed type hot compress and acupressure apparatus
using a means for controlling a location of a hyperthermo-radiative device wherein
a moving location of the hyperthermo-radiative device can be controlled based on
an actually moved distance of the hyperthermo-radiative device. In the present
invention, the means for controlling the location of the hyperthermo-radiative
device comprises (a) a reciprocating unit including a belt gear for converting
a rotational force of an electric-powered motor into a forward and rearward reciprocating
motion, a belt member that is engaged and in contact with an outer peripheral surface
of the belt gear and reciprocated forward or rearward, the hyperthermo-radiative
device connected to the belt member to reciprocate forward and rearward, and a
pulley; and (b) a signal sensor unit including a rotational shaft for directly
transmitting the rotational force, a signal rotating plate rotated together with
the belt gear by the rotational shaft, and a sensor member that is adjacent to
both faces of the signal rotating plate to sense a signal from the signal rotating
plate and transmit the sensed signal to a control unit. According to the present
invention, since a moving distance of the hyperthermo-radiative device can be controlled
using the means for controlling the location of the hyperthermo-radiative device
on the order of millimeters, the hyperthermo-radiative device can be accurately
located on the position of a vertebra input by a user, thereby enhancing the effects
of treatment.
