As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this embodiment is an invasive seismic wave probe structure 100 that can be a micro-structure that can enter the human body. The intrusive seismic wave probe structure 100 includes a housing base 110, a shock wave module 120, and a conductive module 130.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the housing base 110 is a hollow housing and includes a first opening 10. Due to the need to enter the body, the housing base 110 can be selected to be made of a material that is not easily deformed, non-toxic or non-toxic and has no dissolution.

As shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the seismic module 120 is fixed in the housing base 110 , and the seismic module 120 receives a voltage waveform to generate an ultrasonic wave. The shock wave module 120 may further include a fixing base 40 having a receiving space and a second opening 41; a magnetic field driving unit 50 disposed in the receiving space of the fixing base 40; and a seismic unit 60 And disposed at the second opening 41 and coupled to the magnetic field of the magnetic field driving unit 50.

Thus, the magnetic field driving unit 50 can control the seismic unit 60 by the magnitude, direction, and frequency of the magnetic force, so that the seismic unit 60 vibrates and emits ultrasonic shock waves. The shock wave unit 60 used may be an iron piece.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 5, the magnetic field driving unit 50 may further include a set of iron powder cores 70, and at the core of the iron powder cores 70, a set of enamel coils 80 are wound. The enamel coil 80 wraps around the core of the iron powder core 70, so that when a current of a voltage waveform is passed through the enamel coil 80, the magnetic field driving unit 50 can generate a magnetic field, and change the direction of the current passing through the enamel coil 80, and The direction of the magnetic field is changed to attract or repel the seismic unit 60.

The magnetic field drive unit 50 shown in Fig. 5 can cause the shock wave unit 60 to generate ultrasonic shock waves by using a voltage waveform of the ultrasonic frequency when the voltage waveform of the enamelled coil 80 is used.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the conduction module 130 is fixed to the first opening 10 of the housing base 110 , and the conduction module 130 is coupled to the super generated by the seismic module 120 .

As shown in FIG. 7, the control circuit 90 outputs a positive and negative voltage waveform 95, which can be a negative voltage waveform (the portion indicated by the solid line in the upper half of Fig. 7). The magnetic field driving unit 50 or the iron powder core 70 and the enamel coil 80 generate magnetism, and then the shock wave unit 60 is attracted (Fig. 7, in the direction indicated by the solid arrow), and at the same time, the shock wave unit 60 is made magnetic.

Next, the control circuit 90 outputs a positive voltage waveform (a portion of the voltage waveform indicated by a broken line as shown in the upper half of FIG. 7), and the magnetic field driving unit 50 or the iron powder core 70 is opposite to the magnetic force generated by the enamel coil 80. The shock wave unit 60 is instantaneously repelled due to the difference in polarity of the magnets (Fig. 7, in the direction indicated by the dashed arrow).

In this manner, the shock wave unit 60 is attracted by the magnetic field driving unit 50 and is repelled by the magnetic field driving unit 50, and then the ultrasonic wave is generated according to the frequency of the positive and negative voltage waveform 95, and the ultrasonic wave is transmitted to the human body through the conduction module 130. Tissue or organ.

The ultrasonic wave generated by the seismic module 120 can also be changed via the conduction module 130 and then transmitted to tissues or organs in the human body. The manner in which the conduction module 130 changes the propagation path is usually achieved by changing the structural size or shape of the conduction module 130 to produce different focus points.

As shown in FIG. 8, the control circuit 90 of the embodiment outputs the positive and negative voltage waveforms 95 to the magnetic field driving unit 50, and the oscilloscope measurement display of the seismic waveforms that can be generated. The square wave in the upper half of Fig. 8 has a lower potential part on the left side. The negative voltage waveform, at which time the seismic unit 60 is attracted by the magnetic field drive unit 50.

In the square wave of the upper half of Fig. 8, the higher potential portion on the right side is a positive voltage waveform, and at this time, the shock wave unit 60 is repelled by the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field driving unit 50 to change direction, and thereby generate The shock wave shown in the lower half of Figure 8.

When the fluctuation frequency of the negative voltage waveform and the positive voltage waveform is in the ultrasonic frequency range, the generated shock wave is the ultrasonic vibration wave.
