Description

초음파 발생 장치ultrasonic generator
본 발명은 초음파 발생 장치에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 마사지 또는 물리치료 등을 위하여 인체의 피부에 부착하여 사용할 수 있고, 사용의 편의를 위하여 본체 및 초음파 발진부를 용이하게 착탈하여 교환하며 사용할 수 있는 휴대가 가능한 초음파 발생 장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an ultrasonic generator, and more specifically, to a device that can be attached to the skin of the human body for massage or physical therapy, and can be used by easily detaching and exchanging the main body and the ultrasonic oscillator for convenience of use. It relates to a portable ultrasonic generator device.
초음파 변화장치는 압전 소자의 양측에 전극을 부착하여 전기적인 포텐셜을 역학적인 포텐셜로 전환 또는 역학적인 포텐셜을 전기적인 포텐셜로 전환하는 장치이다. An ultrasonic change device is a device that converts electrical potential into mechanical potential or mechanical potential into electrical potential by attaching electrodes to both sides of a piezoelectric element.
이러한 초음파 변환기에 교류 전압을 인가하면 동일한 주파수로 압전 진동자가 진동하여 초음파를 생성하고, 한편으로는 외부에서 초음파와 같은 물리적 자극에 대해 압전 진동자가 반응하여 진동하고, 그 진동이 압전소자의 전기적인 포텐셜의 변화를 유발하여 전기적인 신호로 측정할 수 있다. 따라서, 초음파 변환장치는 특정 목적으로 대상물에 초음파를 조사하기 위해 사용될 수도 있으며, 초음파를 감지하는 센서로도 활용될 수 있다. When an alternating current voltage is applied to such an ultrasonic transducer, the piezoelectric vibrator vibrates at the same frequency to generate ultrasonic waves. On the other hand, the piezoelectric vibrator reacts to external physical stimulation such as ultrasonic waves and vibrates, and the vibration is the electrical effect of the piezoelectric element. It can be measured as an electrical signal by causing a change in potential. Therefore, an ultrasonic transducer can be used to irradiate ultrasonic waves to an object for a specific purpose, and can also be used as a sensor to detect ultrasonic waves.
인체에 전기적인 자극을 주거나, 인체의 생리적인 활동에 따라 유발된 생체 전기 현상을 감지하기 위해 흔히 피부에 부착하여 사용하는 생체 전극을 사용한다. 기존의 초음파 변환기는 생체 조직에 초음파 자극을 주거나 생체 조직으로부터 초음파 신호를 감지하기 위한 목적으로 사용되기에 적절한 기능을 포함하지 못하거나, 적합하지 않은 구조를 가지고 있다. 특히 피부에 부착할 수 있는 전극형 초음파 변환기가 없는 실정이다.Bioelectrodes, which are commonly attached to the skin, are used to provide electrical stimulation to the human body or to detect bioelectric phenomena caused by physiological activities of the human body. Existing ultrasonic transducers do not contain appropriate functions or have an unsuitable structure to be used for the purpose of providing ultrasonic stimulation to biological tissue or detecting ultrasonic signals from biological tissue. In particular, there is no electrode-type ultrasonic transducer that can be attached to the skin.
본 발명은 종래의 문제를 해결하기 위한 것으로서, 마사지 또는 물리치료 등을 위하여 인체의 피부에 부착하여 사용할 수 있고, 사용의 편의를 위하여 본체 및 초음파 발진부를 용이하게 착탈하여 교환하며 사용할 수 있는 휴대가 가능한 초음파 발생 장치를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention is intended to solve a conventional problem.

다음으로, 본체부(100)의 제어부(120)에 1차적으로 입력된 제어정보 및 전원유닛(130)을 통해 공급되는 전원은 본체부(100)의 제1연결유닛(140), 초음파 발진부(200)에 구비된 제2연결부를 통해 초음파 발진부(200)의 기판(220)으로 전달된다. Next, the control information primarily input to the control unit 120 of the main body 100 and the power supplied through the power unit 130 are connected to the first connection unit 140 of the main body 100 and the ultrasonic oscillator ( It is transmitted to the substrate 220 of the ultrasonic oscillation unit 200 through the second connection part provided in 200.
다음으로, 초음파 발진부(200)의 기판(220)의 제어에 의해 초음파 발진유닛(230)은 사용자가 입력된 제어정보에 기초하여 작동하며 초음파 진동을 발생시킨다. 일실시예로, 본 발명에 따른 초음파 발진유닛(230)에서 발생하는 초음파의 진동수는 1Mhz 내지 3Mhz일 수 있으며, 이러한 경우 초음파 진동을 피부 표피층뿐만 아니라 더 깊숙이 작용하여 심층 조직까지 전달할 수 있다. 이에 따라, 심층 조직의 세포를 자극하여 마사지 및 치료 효과를 향상시킬 수 있다. Next, under the control of the substrate 220 of the ultrasonic oscillator 200, the ultrasonic oscillation unit 230 operates based on control information input by the user and generates ultrasonic vibration. In one embodiment, the frequency of ultrasonic waves generated from the ultrasonic oscillation unit 230 according to the present invention may be 1Mhz to 3Mhz, and in this case, ultrasonic vibrations can be transmitted not only to the epidermal layer of the skin but also to deeper tissues to reach deep tissues. Accordingly, the massage and treatment effects can be improved by stimulating the cells of deep tissues.
또한, 초음파 발진부(200)의 초음파 발진유닛(230)에서 발생하는 초음파 진동은 패드부(300)의 매질을 통해 초음파 및 초음파 진동이 안정적으로 사용자에게 도달하는 역할을 수행한다. In addition, the ultrasonic vibration generated from the ultrasonic oscillation unit 230 of the ultrasonic oscillator 200 serves to stably reach the user through the medium of the pad unit 300.
전술한 바와 같이, 하나의 본체부(100)를 사용하면서도 사용양태에 따라 초음파 발진부(200) 및 패드부(300)를 선택할 수 있다. 이때, 본체부(100), 초음파 발진부(200) 및 패드부(300)는 각각 용이하게 착탈 가능한 구조로 이루어져 있기 때문에 사용자는 원하는 부위에 원하는 강도 또는 패턴을 갖는 초음파 진동을 이용한 마사지 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 특히, 본 발명의 본체부(100) 및 초음파 발진부(200)는 전선을 이용하지 않고, 마그네틱 포고핀 커넥터를 활용여 착탈 가능한 구조로 이루어짐에 따라 사용뿐만 아니라 보관 역시 편리하게 사용할 수 있다.As described above, while using one main body unit 100, the ultrasonic oscillator unit 200 and the pad unit 300 can be selected depending on the usage mode. At this time, since the main body 100, the ultrasonic oscillator 200, and the pad 300 each have a structure that is easily removable, the user can obtain a massage effect using ultrasonic vibration with the desired intensity or pattern in the desired area. there is. In particular, the main body 100 and the ultrasonic oscillator 200 of the present invention have a detachable structure using a magnetic pogo pin connector without using wires, so they can be conveniently used and stored.
이상에서 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명이 속하는 기술분야의 당업자는 본 발명이 그 기술적 사상이나 필수적 특징을 변경하지 않고서 다른 구체적인 형태로 실시될 수 있다는 것을 이해할 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로 상술한 실시예들은 모든 면에 예시적인 것이며 한정적인 것이 아닌 것으로서 이해해야만 한다. 본 발명의 범위는 상세한 설명보다는 후술하는 특허청구범위에 의하여 나타내어지며, 특허청구범위의 의미 및 범위 그리고 등가 개념으로부터 도출되는 모든 변경 또는 변형된 형태가 본 발명의 범위에 포함되는 것으로 해석되어야 한다.As described above, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains will understand that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing its technical idea or essential features. Therefore, the above-described embodiments should be understood in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
