예를 들어, 제2 탈부착전극(222)은 고리 부재(2221) 및 결합 부재(2222)를 포함할 수 있다.For example, the second detachable electrode 222 may include a ring member 2221 and a coupling member 2222 .
고리 부재(2221)는 고리 형상으로 형성되고, 제2 탈부착전극(222)이 최적으로 이주 또는 이당에 접촉할 수 있도록 일 측이 타 측보다 돌출된 형상으로 형성될 수 있다. 이러한 고리 부재(2221)는 본체부(21)에 형성된 홈에 결합될 수 있다. The ring member 2221 may be formed in a ring shape, and one side may be formed to protrude from the other side so that the second detachable electrode 222 can optimally contact the main or Yidang. This ring member 2221 may be coupled to the groove formed in the body portion (21).
이때, 고리 부재(2221)는 본체부(21)에 대해 회전 가능하게 결합될 수 있다. 이에 따라, 사용자는 사용자의 이주 또는 이당의 형상에 따라 고리 부재(2221)를 회전시켜 돌출된 부분의 방향을 조절할 수 있다.In this case, the ring member 2221 may be rotatably coupled to the body portion 21 . Accordingly, the user can adjust the direction of the protruding portion by rotating the ring member 2221 according to the user's migration or the shape of the yidang.
결합 부재(2222)는 고리 부재(2221)의 내측에 톱니 형상으로 형성될 수 있다. 본체부(21)의 결합 홈에는 이러한 결합 부재(2222)와 대응되는 형상의 톱니가 형성될 수 있다. 결합 부재(2222)는 본체부(21)에 형성된 대응 톱니와 맞물려 결합될 수 있다. The coupling member 2222 may be formed in a sawtooth shape on the inside of the ring member 2221 . In the coupling groove of the main body 21 , teeth having a shape corresponding to the coupling member 2222 may be formed. The coupling member 2222 may be engaged with corresponding teeth formed on the body portion 21 .
이러한 결합 부재(2222)는 고리 부재(2221)의 회전 범위를 제한할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 사용자가 제2 탈부착전극(222)에 어떠한 힘도 가하지 않으면, 결합 부재(2222)의 톱니 구조에 의해 제2 탈부착전극(222)은 본체부(21)에 대해 회전하지 않는 상태를 유지할 수 있다. 사용자가 제2 탈부착전극(222)의 방향을 조절하기 위해 회전 방향으로 힘을 가하면, 결합 부재(2222)는 본체부(21)의 대응 톱니를 넘어 다음 대응 톱니의 위치까지 회전될 수 있다. The coupling member 2222 may limit the rotation range of the ring member 2221 . For example, if the user does not apply any force to the second detachable electrode 222 , the second detachable electrode 222 does not rotate with respect to the main body 21 due to the tooth structure of the coupling member 2222 . can keep When the user applies a force in the rotational direction to adjust the direction of the second detachable electrode 222 , the coupling member 2222 may be rotated beyond the corresponding tooth of the main body 21 to the position of the next corresponding tooth.
마찬가지로, 제3 탈부착전극(223) 또한 고리 부재(2231) 및 결합 부재(2232)를 포함할 수 있다.Similarly, the third detachable electrode 223 may also include a ring member 2231 and a coupling member 2232 .
여기서, 고리 부재(2231)는 고리 부재(2221)와 유사하지만 제3 탈부착전극(223)이 최적으로 이궁에 접촉할 수 있도록 일 측이 길쭉한 형상으로 연장될 수 있다. 사용자는 사용자의 이궁의 형상에 따라 고리 부재(2231)를 회전시켜 길쭉한 부분의 방향을 조절할 수 있다.Here, the ring member 2231 is similar to the ring member 2221 , but one side may extend in an elongated shape so that the third detachable electrode 223 can optimally contact the ear arch. The user may adjust the direction of the elongated portion by rotating the ring member 2231 according to the shape of the user's ear bow.
결합 부재(2232)는 결합 부재(2222)와 동일하게 고리 부재(2231)의 내측에 톱니 형상으로 형성될 수 있다. 본체부(21)의 또 다른 결합 홈에는 이러한 결합 부재(2223)와 대응되는 형상의 톱니가 형성될 수 있다. 결합 부재(2232)는 본체부(21)에 형성된 대응 톱니와 맞물려 결합될 수 있다. The coupling member 2232 may be formed in a sawtooth shape on the inside of the ring member 2231 in the same manner as the coupling member 2222 . In another coupling groove of the main body 21 , teeth having a shape corresponding to the coupling member 2223 may be formed. The coupling member 2232 may be engaged with corresponding teeth formed on the body portion 21 .
이러한 결합 부재(2232)는 고리 부재(2231)의 회전 범위를 제한할 수 있다. 예를 들어, 사용자가 제3 탈부착전극(223)에 어떠한 힘도 가하지 않으면, 결합 부재(2232)의 톱니 구조에 의해 제3 탈부착전극(223)은 본체부(21)에 대해 회전하지 않는 상태를 유지할 수 있다. 사용자가 제3 탈부착전극(223)의 방향을 조절하기 위해 회전 방향으로 힘을 가하면, 결합 부재(2232)는 본체부(21)의 대응 톱니를 넘어 다음 대응 톱니의 위치까지 회전될 수 있다. The coupling member 2232 may limit the rotation range of the ring member 2231 . For example, if the user does not apply any force to the third detachable electrode 223 , the third detachable electrode 223 does not rotate with respect to the main body 21 due to the tooth structure of the coupling member 2232 . can keep When the user applies a force in the rotational direction to adjust the direction of the third detachable electrode 223 , the coupling member 2232 may be rotated beyond the corresponding tooth of the main body 21 to the position of the next corresponding tooth.
또한, 전술한 결합 부재(2222, 2232) 또는 본체부(21)의 대응 톱니는 탄성 재료로 구성되어 사용자가 제2 탈부착전극(222) 또는 제3 탈부착전극(223)에 일정 크기 이상의 힘을 가할 때 제2 탈부착전극(222) 또는 제3 탈부착전극(223)이 회전 가능하도록 변형될 수 있다.In addition, the above-described coupling members 2222 and 2232 or corresponding teeth of the body portion 21 are made of an elastic material, so that the user can apply a force of a certain size or more to the second detachable electrode 222 or the third detachable electrode 223 . When the second detachable electrode 222 or the third detachable electrode 223 may be deformed to be rotatable.
전술한 바와 같이, 거리 또는 방향 등이 조절되는 제1 탈부착전극(221), 제2 탈부착전극(222) 및 제3 탈부착전극(223)은 이개 또는 외이도에 밀착 접촉하여 각 부분에 분포하는 미주신경에 전기적 자극을 효과적으로 가할 수 있다. As described above, the first detachable electrode 221 , the second detachable electrode 222 , and the third detachable electrode 223 whose distance or direction is adjusted are in close contact with the auricle or external auditory meatus and are distributed in each part of the vagus nerve. can effectively apply electrical stimulation to
또한, 각각의 탈부착전극들은 본체부(21)에 탈부착 가능하게 결합되도록 마련될 수 있다. In addition, each of the detachable electrodes may be provided to be detachably coupled to the main body 21 .
따라서, 사용자는 이개 또는 외이도의 형태에 따라 다양한 크기로 마련된 탈부착전극 중 알맞은 크기의 탈부착전극을 선택적으로 결합하여 사용할 수 있다. 즉, 맞춤형 신경 자극기(2)는 개개인의 귀 모양에 따른 맞춤형 전기 자극이 가능하다.Accordingly, the user can selectively combine and use a detachable electrode of an appropriate size among detachable electrodes of various sizes according to the shape of the auricle or external auditory meatus. That is, the customized nerve stimulator 2 is capable of customized electrical stimulation according to the shape of an individual's ear.
또한, 전술한 본체부(21)의 내부에는 소리 자극을 출력하여 신경을 자극하는 음향출력부재가 구비될 수도 있다.In addition, a sound output member for stimulating nerves by outputting a sound stimulus may be provided inside the aforementioned body part 21 .
이에 따라, 탈부착전극부(22)에 의한 전기 자극에 추가로, 음향 자극에 의하여 사용자에 대한 치료 효과를 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다.Accordingly, in addition to the electrical stimulation by the detachable electrode unit 22, it is possible to further improve the therapeutic effect on the user by the acoustic stimulation.
