Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein mehrkanaliges Gerät
zur Elektrostimulation nach der Gattung des
Hauptanspruchs.
Für die Reizstromtherapie werden elektrische
Geräte verwendet, die über mit dem Patienten
zu verbindende Elektroden Stromimpulse liefern.
Dabei werden in letzter Zeit immer mehr solche
Geräte verwendet, die mehrere Kanäle, d. h.
mehrere Patientenstromkreise aufweisen, da
gleichzeitig an unterschiedlichen Stellen dem
Patienten Impulse unterschiedlicher Art zuführbar
sein sollen. Es sind mehrkanalige Geräte bekannt,
bei denen ein Netzteil mehrere entsprechend der
Anzahl von Kanälen bzw. Patientenstromkreisen
vorgesehene Impulsgeneratoren mit entsprechenden
Endstufenverstärkern versorgt. Zur galvanischen
Trennung ist für jeden Patientenstromkreis
ein Übertrager mit der jeweiligen Endstufe verbunden,
wobei zur Überwachung und zur Regelung das an den
Elektroden anstehende Signal zurückgeführt wird,
wobei für die Auskopplung des Rückführungssignals
ebenfalls Übertrager notwendig sind. In einem
derartigen Gerät ist wegen der notwendigen Ent
kopplungen und Rückführungen zu Kontroll- und
Regelzwecken der Schaltungsaufwand sehr hoch
und daher kostenintensiv.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde,
ein mehrkanaliges Gerät zur Elektrostimulation zu
schaffen, dessen Schaltungsaufwand im Vergleich
zu den Geräten nach dem Stand der Technik geringer
ist und das somit kostengünstiger ist.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kenn
zeichnenden Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs in Ver
bindung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs gelöst.
Dadurch, daß nur ein Signalgenerator vorgesehen
ist, der ineinandergeschachtelt nacheinander die
unterschiedlichen Impulse für die Patientenstrom
kreise liefert und daß ansonsten hochohmige, von
einer Steuereinheit angesteuerte Schalter die
den jeweiligen Kreisen zugeordneten Impulse
abhängig von Steuersignalen niederohmig durchschalten,
wird der Schaltungsaufwand sehr viel geringer,
da nur ein kleiner Netztransformator mit einem
kleineren Netzteil und nur eine Endstufe notwendig
sind. Da der jeweilige Patientenstrom direkt
von der Endstufe kontrolliert wird, ist eine
Rückführung zu Kontroll- oder Regelzwecken nicht
mehr notwendig, so daß die Übertrager eingespart
werden können.
Durch die in den Unteransprüchen angegebenen
Maßnahmen sind vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen
und Verbesserungen möglich.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in
der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird in der
nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert.
Es zeigen
Fig. 1 eine schaltungsgemäße Ausgestaltung
des erfindungsgemäßen Gerätes, und
Fig. 2 ein Impulssignaldiagramm an unter
schiedlichen Ausgängen des Gerätes.
In Fig. 1 ist mit 1 der Netztransformator und
mit 2 das Netzteil bezeichnet, das sowohl den
Impulsgenerator 3 als auch die Endstufe 4 versorgt.
Der Impulsgenerator 3 ist mit der Endstufe ver
bunden, wobei der Generator 3 einen Triggerausgang
5 und einen Signalausgang 6 aufweist. Im Aus
führungsbeispiel sind vier Patientenstromkreise
7 vorgesehen, an denen die entsprechenden Elektro
den angeschlossen sind. In beiden Polen der
Patientenstromkreise 7 sind Tristate-Analog-
Schalter 8, 9 als hochohmige Schalter geschaltet.
Die Tristate-Analog-Schalter 8, 9 sind jeweils
mit dem Ausgang der Endstufe 4 verbunden.
Der Triggerausgang 10 der Endstufe 4 ist an
einen Zähler 11 angeschlossen, der als Teiler
dient und entsprechend der Anzahl der Patienten
stromkreise 7 durch vier teilt. Die vier Ausgänge
des Zählers 11 sind jeweils mit den Steuereingängen
der Tristate-Analog-Schalter 8, 9 in beiden Polen
eines Patientenstromkreises 7 verbunden.
Die Wirkungsweise der Schaltung nach Fig. 1
soll mit Hilfe des Impulssignaldiagramms nach
Fig. 2 erläutert werden.
Am Ausgang des Generators 3 bzw. am Ausgang der
Endstufe 4 liegt das in der Fig. 2 dargestellte
oberste Signal als Impulskette an, wobei die
Impulsform von vier aufeinanderfolgenden Impulsen
jeweils hinsichtlich Länge und Amplitude unter
schiedlich sein kann. Die Signale, die die
vier Patientenstromkreise 7 erhalten sollen,
werden in den vier unteren Signalformen gezeigt,
wobei zu erkennen ist, daß diese Signale ineinander
geschachtelt im Ausgangssignal des Generators
3 bzw. der Endstufe 4 vorhanden sind. An den
Triggerausgängen 5, 10 des Generators 3 und
der Endstufe 4 liegt das Triggersignal der
zweiten Zeile aus Fig. 2 an, d. h. es wird bei
jedem Impuls am Signalausgang 6 ein kurzer
Triggerimpuls geliefert. Dieses Triggersignal
wird dem Zähler 11 zugeführt und derart ver
arbeitet, daß vier aufeinanderfolgende Signale
jeweils entsprechend der in Fig. 2 gezeigten
Signale an den Ausgängen A1 bis A4 des Zählers 11
liegen. Diese Ausgangssignale steuern nacheinander
die Tristate-Analog-Schalter 8, 9 jedes Patienten
stromkreises 7 an, so daß die Schalter 8, 9
durchschalten, so daß der erste Impuls dem
ersten Stromkreis 7, der zweite Impuls dem
zweiten Stromkreis 7, der dritte Impuls dem dritten
Stromkreis 7 und der vierte Impuls dem vierten
Stromkreis 7 zugeordnet wird. Zur quasi galvanischen
Entkopplung sind in beiden Polen Schalter 8, 9
vorgesehen, d. h. es werden die jeweiligen
Nullpunkte den Gegenelektroden mit umgeschaltet.
Die Tristate-Analog-Schalter 8, 9 können als
spezielle Gegentakt-Endstufen ausgebildet sein.
