Description

실시간 접촉 감지 기능이 구비된 고주파 온열기용 어플리케이터Applicator for high-frequency warmers with real-time touch detection
본 발명은 실시간 접촉 감지 기능이 구비된 고주파 온열기용 어플리케이터에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는, 환부와의 접촉 상태가 특정 조건을 만족할 경우에만 환부로 고주파 전류가 통전되도록 하여, 화상의 위험으로부터 미연에 환자를 보호하는 실시간 접촉 감지 기능이 구비된 고주파 온열기용 어플리케이터에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an applicator for a high-frequency heater equipped with a real-time touch sensing function, and more particularly, by allowing a high-frequency current to flow to the affected area only when the contact state with the affected area meets a specific condition, thereby preventing the risk of burns in advance. It relates to an applicator for a high-frequency warmer equipped with a real-time touch sensing function that protects a patient.
일반적으로 고주파 전류가 인체 내에 통전되면 전류의 방향이 바뀔 때마다 조직을 구성하는 분자들이 진동하면서 서로 마찰하게 되며 그 결과, 해당 신체조직에서 열이 발생하는데 이를 심부발열 또는 심부열이라 한다.In general, when a high-frequency current is energized in the human body, whenever the direction of the current changes, the molecules constituting the tissue vibrate and rub against each other. As a result, heat is generated in the body tissue, which is called deep heat or deep heat.
고주파 전류는 다른 형태의 전류와 달리 감각신경이나 운동신경을 자극하지 않고 근육 수축을 일으키지 않으면서도 해당 신체조직 내의 특정부위를 가열할 수 있다.Unlike other types of current, high-frequency current can heat a specific part of the body tissue without stimulating sensory or motor nerves and causing muscle contraction.
생체 열에너지로 변환된 고주파 에너지는 해당 신체조직의 온도를 상승시켜 세포의 기능을 증진시키고 동맥 및 모세혈관 확장을 통해 혈류량을 증가시킴으로써 혈액 및 림프액의 순환을 촉진시키며 신진대사를 증진시키게 된다.The high-frequency energy converted into biothermal energy raises the temperature of the body tissue to enhance cell function, and increases blood flow through arteries and capillary dilatation, thereby promoting blood and lymphatic circulation and enhancing metabolism.
따라서, 고주파 전류는 환부에 심부열을 발생시키기 위한 목적으로 의료용 보조기기에 활용되고 있으며, 현재, 다양한 형상 및 구조로 이루어진 고주파 보조기기가 활발하게 공개되고 있다.Therefore, the high-frequency current is utilized in medical auxiliary devices for the purpose of generating deep heat in the affected area, and currently, high-frequency auxiliary devices having various shapes and structures are being actively disclosed.
하지만, 말 그대로, 다양한 형상 및 구조와, 실험 및 경험에 의한 고주파 전류의 출력 범위, 이를 제어하는 제어 방식에 대한 기술이 주(主)가된 고주파 보조기기로, 고주파 전류에 의한 안전사고를 대비하기 위한 기술의 적용은 아직 미비하다는 문제점이 있다.However, literally, it is a high-frequency auxiliary device mainly based on various shapes and structures, the output range of high-frequency current by experiment and experience, and the control method to control it, and prepares for safety accidents caused by high-frequency current. There is a problem that the application of the technology for this is still insufficient.
그러므로, 본 발명은, 고주파 전류를 이용한 효과는 물론, 안전성(안전사고를 미연에 방지하는 성질) 및 안정성(고주파 전류의 효과가 효과적으로 발휘되도록 하는 성질)이 함께 동반되는 고주파 보조기기용 유닛을 제공하고자 한다.Therefore, the present invention is to provide a unit for a high-frequency auxiliary device accompanied by not only the effect of using a high-frequency current, but also safety (property to prevent safety accidents in advance) and stability (property to effectively exhibit the effect of high-frequency current). do.

이처럼, 본 발명인 실시간 접촉 감지 기능이 구비된 고주파 온열기용 어플리케이터(1)는,As such, the applicator (1) for a high-frequency warmer equipped with a real-time touch sensing function of the present invention is,
1. 고주파 온열기(A)로부터 고주파 전류가 출력되는 동안, 전극판모듈(120)이 환부에 적절히 접촉되지 않은 경우, 화상의 위험이 발생하므로, 이를 방지하기 위해, 적절한 접촉 상태인지를 실시간 확인, 감지한다.1. While the high-frequency current is output from the high-frequency heater (A), if the electrode plate module 120 does not properly contact the affected part, there is a risk of burns. detect
2. 이는, 특히, 전극판모듈(120)의 가장자리 부위와 환부가 접촉될 시에 화상의 위험이 가장 크다는 문제점을 해결하기 위함이다.2. This is especially to solve the problem that the risk of burns is the greatest when the edge of the electrode plate module 120 and the affected part come into contact.
3. 즉, 본 발명은, 종래의 고주파 전류를 통한 효과는 물론, 고주파 전류를 통한 효과가 효과적으로, 그리고, 안전하게 나타나도록 고주파출력부(100)의 취급 부주의로 인한 안전사고를 미연에 방지한다.3.
