Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Ultraschall-Therapieapparat zur Behandlung biologischer Objekte. The invention relates to an ultrasound therapy apparatus for treatment biological objects.
Die bekannten Ultraschall-Therapieapparate bestehen im wesentlichen aus einem Hochfrequenzgenerator und einem mit diesem durch Kabel verbundenen Ultraschallschwinger. Bei Streichmassage wird im allgemeinen dieser Schwinger mit der Hand hin und her bewegt. Insbesondere bei längerer Behandlungsdauer treten bei dem Behandelnden sehr häufig Ermüdungserscheinungen auf. Hierbei wird ù.nbeabsichtigt im Laufe der Behandlungszeit der Schallkopf häufig gegenüber dem Behandlungsobjelit verkantet, so daß eine ungenügende An kopplung der Schwingerabschlußfiäche mit dem -Behandlungsobjekt auftritt, wodurch ein Eintritt von Ultraschallenergie in das Behandlungsobjekt unterbunden wird. Man hat auch bereits die Ultraschallköpfe an Trägern aufgehängt, insbesondere dann, wenn die Köpfe ein erhebliches Gewicht aufwiesen. Das Verbindungskabel zwischen Hochfrequenzgenerator und Ultraschallkopf mußte zur Vermeidung von Verlusten auf dieser tbertragungsrstrecke aus hochwertigstem Material gefertigt sein und zwar zumeist unhandlich und schwer. Die selbst in einem verlustarmen Kabel noch auftretenden Verluste mußten durch eine erhöhte Generatorleistung gedeckt werden. The known ultrasound therapy apparatus essentially exist from a high-frequency generator and an ultrasonic transducer connected to this by a cable. During a stroking massage, this vibrator is generally moved back and forth with the hand emotional. Especially with longer treatment times, the treating person is very affected frequent signs of fatigue. This is unintentional in the course of the treatment the transducer is often tilted relative to the object to be treated, so that an inadequate At coupling of the transducer end surface with the treatment object occurs, whereby an entry of ultrasonic energy into the treatment object is prevented. Man has already hung the ultrasound heads on carriers, especially if when the heads were of considerable weight. The connection cable between High-frequency generator and ultrasound head had to be used to avoid losses this transmission route must be made of the highest quality material mostly unwieldy and heavy. The ones that still occur even in a low-loss cable Losses had to be covered by increased generator power.
Die genannten Nachteile der bekannten Ultraschall-Therapieapparate werden erfindungsgemäß dadurch beseitigt, daß der elektrische Hochfrequenzgenerator und die Schwingerano,rdnung zu einer bewegbar an einem Träger aufgehängten Baueinheit vorzugsweise in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse vereinigt und zur Bewegung der Einheit Programmsteuerglieder vorgesehen sind. The mentioned disadvantages of the known ultrasound therapy apparatus are eliminated according to the invention in that the electrical high-frequency generator and the Schwingerano, designed to form a moveable structural unit suspended from a carrier preferably combined in a common housing and for moving the unit Program control members are provided.
Der Schwinger oder mindestens dessen schallabstrahlende Fläche, die z. B*. aus einer festen Platte mit einer Dicke von i,/2 oder aus einer dünnen Membran bestehen kann, ist in dem auch den elektrischen Generator enthaltenden Gehäuse in der Schallstrahlungsrichtung wahlweise unverrückbar oder auch federnd gelagert, um gegebenenfalls einen bestimmten Kontaktdruck des Schwingers auf dem Behandlungsobjekt einstellen zu können. Durch diesen Aufbau entfallen lange hochfrequenzführende Verbindungsleitungen zwischen dem Hochfrequenzgenerator und dem Ultraschallschwinger, wodurch die Hochfrequenzverluste auf ein Mindestmaß reduziert werden. The transducer or at least its sound-emitting surface that z. B *. from a solid plate with a thickness of i, / 2 or from a thin membrane can exist is in the housing which also contains the electric generator the direction of sound radiation either immovable or spring-mounted, a certain contact pressure of the transducer on the object to be treated, if necessary to be able to adjust. This structure eliminates the need for long high-frequency connecting lines between the high frequency generator and the ultrasonic transducer, reducing the high frequency losses be reduced to a minimum.
Die den elektrischen Generator und den Schwinger enthaltende Baueinheit ist auf bzw. an einem Stativ befestigt, und die gesamte Anordnung kranartig, vorzugsweise in drei Dimensionen, durch Motorkraft pendelnd oder kreisend bewegbar. The assembly containing the electrical generator and the transducer is attached to a tripod, and the entire arrangement is like a crane, preferably Movable in three dimensions, pendular or circular due to motor power.
