Ein solcher Meßkopf dient der Bestimmung der mechanischen Eigenschaften weicher biologischer Gewebe sowie deren relativer Änderung und der Quantifizierung des Stofftransportes und Transportes applizierter Substanzen durch das weiche Gewebe nach Ort und Zeit.Such a measuring head is used to determine the mechanical properties of soft biological tissues as well as their relative change and to quantify the transport of substances and the transport of applied substances through the soft tissue according to location and time.
Weiche biologische Gewebe sind unter anderem die Haut, Gefäßwände etc.Soft biological tissues include the skin, vascular walls, etc.

Bei bekannten Verfahren dieser Art wird der Meßkopf mit einem doppelseitigen Klebeband an das Gewebe angekoppelt.In known methods of this type, the measuring head is coupled to the tissue with a double-sided adhesive tape.
Demgegenüber betrifft die Erfindung einen Meßkopf zur Bestimmung der mechanischen Eigenschaften weicher biologischer Gewebe und zur Quantifizierung des Stofftransportes und des Transportes von auf das Gewebe applizierten Substanzen durch dieses Gewebe mittels dynamischer Verdrillung, mit einem, an das Gewebe ankoppelbaren Verdrillstempel, dessen Verdrillwinkel über Winkelsensoren und dessen Verdrillmoment über einen Drehmomentensensor erfaßbar ist, sowie einer Vorspanneinrichtung zur definierten Ansaugung und Vorspannung des Gewebes, wobei die Vorspanneinrichtung Weg- und Drucksensoren zum definierten Ansaugen des Gewebes nach Weg- oder Druckvorgaben umfaßt.In contrast, the invention relates to a measuring head for determining the mechanical properties of soft biological tissue and for quantifying the transport of substances and the transport of substances applied to the tissue through this tissue by means of dynamic twisting, with a twisting stamp that can be coupled to the tissue, the twisting angle of which can be detected via angle sensors and the twisting moment of which can be detected via a torque sensor, as well as a pre-tensioning device for the defined suction and pre-tensioning of the tissue, wherein the pre-tensioning device comprises displacement and pressure sensors for the defined suction of the tissue according to displacement or pressure specifications.
Im Unterschied zu dem vorgenannten Verfahren wird der erfindungsgemäße Meßkopf also mittels Unterdruck an das Gewebe angekoppelt.In contrast to the aforementioned method, the measuring head according to the invention is coupled to the tissue by means of negative pressure.
Die Ankopplungseinheit des Meßkopfes besteht aus zwei Teilen:The coupling unit of the measuring head consists of two parts:
a) der Vorspanneinrichtunga) the pre-tensioning device
b) dem Verdrillstempel.b) the twisting die.
Die Ankopplung erfolgt in zwei Schritten. Zuerst wird das Gewebe definiert in der Vorspannvorrichtung vorgespannt. Danach wird das Gewebe an den Verdrillstempel gekoppelt. Die Vorspannvorrichtung besitzt Weg- und Drucksensoren, um ein definiertes Ansaugen des Gewebes nach Weg- oder Druckvorgaben zu gewährleisten. Nach einer Ausführungsform befinden sich drei Wegsensoren am Umfang der Vorspanneinrichtung zur Überprüfung der Gleichmäßigkeit der Vorspannung.The coupling takes place in two steps. First, the fabric is pre-tensioned in a defined manner in the pre-tensioning device. Then the fabric is coupled to the twisting die. The pre-tensioning device has displacement and pressure sensors to ensure a defined suction of the fabric according to displacement or pressure specifications. According to one embodiment, three displacement sensors are located on the circumference of the pre-tensioning device to check the uniformity of the pre-tension.
Danach prägt der Verdrillstempel ein dynamisches Verdrillmoment oder einen dynamischen Verdrillwinkel auf das Gewebe. Eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die Antriebseinheit des Meßkopfes zum Beispiel aus einem Gleichstrommotor, einem Schrittmotor oder einem Schwingerreger besteht.The twisting stamp then imprints a dynamic twisting moment or a dynamic twisting angle on the fabric. A further embodiment of the invention provides that the drive unit of the measuring head consists of, for example, a DC motor, a stepper motor or a vibration exciter.
Der Verdrillwinkel wird - wie ausgeführt - mittels Winkelsensoren erfaßt, die zum Beispiel Hallsensoren oder optische Sensoren sein können. Das Verdrillmoment wird durch einen Drehmomenten- oder Kraftsensor erfaßt.As stated, the twist angle is measured using angle sensors, which can be Hall sensors or optical sensors, for example. The twisting moment is measured using a torque or force sensor.
Eingangs- und Ausgangssignale werden in einem Amplituden- und Phasengang ausgewertet, über die die mechanischen Eigenschaften des Gewebes bestimmt sowie der Stofftransport nach Ort und Zeit quantifiziert werden können. Der Amplitudengang informiert im wesentlichen über die elasto-mechanischen Eigenschaften, der Phasengang informiert im wesentlichen über die viskosen Eigenschaften.Input and output signals are evaluated in an amplitude and phase response, which can be used to determine the mechanical properties of the tissue and to quantify the transport of material according to location and time. The amplitude response essentially provides information about the elastomechanical properties, the phase response essentially provides information about the viscous properties.
Veränderungen im Amplituden- und Phasengang ermöglichen den Stofftransport und den Transport applizierter Stoffe durch das Gewebe nach Ort und Zeit zu quantifizieren. Massenveränderungen durch Applikation von Stoffmengen auf das Gewebe sowie sich danach einstellende Veränderungen in den elastischen Strukturen des Gewebes, zum Beispiel durch Kosmetika, Arzneimittel etc. bilden sich im wesentlichen im Amplitudengang ab. Veränderungen der viskosen Gewebestrukturen infolge von Stoffeinlagerungen in das Gewebe äußern sich im wesentlichen im Phasengang.Changes in the amplitude and phase response make it possible to quantify the transport of substances and the transport of applied substances through the tissue according to location and time. Mass changes due to the application of quantities of substances to the tissue as well as subsequent changes in the elastic structures of the tissue, for example due to cosmetics, medicines, etc., are essentially reflected in the amplitude response. Changes in the viscous tissue structures as a result of substances being deposited in the tissue are essentially reflected in the phase response.
Eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, daß durch kontinuierliche Messung und Aufzeichnung eines BODE-Diagramms Migrationsprozesse applizierter Stoffe durch das Gewebe als Funktion des Ortes und der Zeit ermittelt werden können, wozu der Meßkopf mit einer entsprechenden Einrichtung zur kontinuierlichen Messung und Aufzeichnung eines BODE-Diagramms ausgebildet ist.A further embodiment of the invention provides that by continuously measuring and recording a BODE diagram, migration processes of applied substances through the tissue can be determined as a function of location and time, for which purpose the measuring head is designed with a corresponding device for continuously measuring and recording a BODE diagram.

Die nachstehende Bezugszeichenliste ordnet die einzelnen Bezugszeichen einzelnen Bauteilen zu:The single figure shows the essential components of the measuring head according to the invention and the method to be carried out with it.
