Abstract

The system has cupping elements attached at skin, and a hose connection to a vacuum generator. A periodically opening leak air valve i.e. electromagnet valve, is functionally actively connected between the cupping elements and the vacuum generator in course of a path of sucked air so that rising and decongesting pulsation is superimposed to continuous vacuum. The leak air valve is controlled by an electronics. A frequency of opening and closing cycles of the leak air valve is manually or automatically preselected and/or varied by the electronics.

Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einem Saugwellenmassagegerät, das auch als Schröpftherapie-System bezeichnet werden kann, wie es aus der EP 2 046 261 bekannt geworden ist. In dieser Druckschrift ist eine Vakuum-Muskelwalkglocke offenbart, aus der eine Vakuumpumpe Luft abzieht, wobei sie sich an der Haut fest saugt und dabei seitlich kollabiert. Dadurch soll die angesaugte Hautfalte auch von der Seite komprimiert und massiert werden. Die verwendete Saugpumpe liefert lediglich ein stetiges Vakuum und dadurch einen relativ einförmigen Reiz auf die Haut und das darunter liegende Gewebe.The invention is based on a Saugwellenmassagegerät, which can also be referred to as cupping therapy system, as it is known from the EP 2 046 261 has become known. In this document, a vacuum muscle ball is disclosed, from which a vacuum pump draws air, wherein it sucks itself firmly on the skin and thereby collapses laterally. Thereby, the sucked skin fold should also be compressed and massaged from the side. The suction pump used provides only a steady vacuum and thus a relatively uniform stimulus to the skin and the underlying tissue.

Die DE PS 197 32 282 verfügt zwar über das Funktionsmerkmal Pulsation, die jedoch umständlich durch An- und Abschalten der Saugleistung erzielt wird. Mit dieser Lösung sind wegen der relativen Trägheit des An- und Abschaltvorganges höhere Pulsationsfrequenzen nicht darstellbar.The DE PS 197 32 282 Although it has the function of pulsation, but is cumbersome by switching on and off the suction power is achieved. With this solution, higher pulsation frequencies can not be represented because of the relative inertia of the startup and shutdown process.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Schaffung eines Schröpftherapie-Systems, mit dem einerseits ohne großen technischen Aufwand während des Schröpfvorganges ein zusätzlicher Reiz auf die Haut ausgeübt und andererseits durch bessere Verträglichkeit des Schröpfens eine höhere Energie appliziert werden kann.Object of the present invention is to provide a cupping therapy system, on the one hand exerted without great technical effort during the cupping an additional stimulus to the skin and on the other hand by better compatibility of the cupping a higher energy can be applied.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen des Hauptanspruches dazu angegebenen Merkmale gelöst. Weitere Ausführungsarten der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen niedergelegt.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of the main claim. Further embodiments of the invention are laid down in the subclaims.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist zwischen Vakuumerzeuger und Schröpfelement ein periodisch öffnendes Falschluftventil funktionell wirksam in der Weise eingeschaltet, dass dem Dauervakuum eine an- und abschwellende Pulsation überlagert wird.According to the invention, a periodically opening false air valve is functionally effective between the vacuum generator and the cupping element in such a way switched on that the continuous vacuum is superimposed on a swelling and decongesting pulsation.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist das erfindungsgemäße Falschluftventil als Elektromagnetventil ausgebildet, das von einer regelbaren Elektronik gesteuert wird. Dabei kann die Regelung manuell oder durch automatisch ablaufende, vorgegebene Programme erfolgen. Diese Programme können neben der Pulsation und unabhängig von derselben auch Saugzeit, Saugstärke und Intervall zwischen den einzelnen Saugaktionen steuern.In a preferred embodiment, the false air valve according to the invention is designed as a solenoid valve, which is controlled by a controllable electronics. The control can be done manually or by automatically running, predetermined programs. In addition to the pulsation, these programs can also control the suction time, suction strength and interval between the individual suction actions.

Der Vorteil der Neuerung liegt darin, dass das Behandlungsspektrum eines Schröpftherapie-Systems mit technisch einfachen und leicht bedienbaren Mitteln bezüglich Reizintensität bzw. -qualität erheblich erweitert werden kann. Die Pulsation erhöht deutlich die Intensität der Schröpfmassage ohne zusätzliche Belastung der Haut. Höhere Saugintensitäten sind mit einer Lösung gemäß der Erfindung besser verträglich, da sich das Gewebe durch die eingeschalteten, wenn auch kurzen Pausen jeweils etwas erholen kann.The advantage of the innovation lies in the fact that the treatment spectrum of a cupping therapy system can be considerably extended with technically simple and easy-to-use means with regard to stimulus intensity and quality. The pulsation significantly increases the intensity of the cupping massage without additional stress on the skin. Higher suction intensities are better tolerated with a solution according to the invention, since the tissue can recover somewhat by the turned on, albeit short pauses.
