Die Erfindung betrifft eine Behandlungsvorrichtung, insbesondere für Bandscheibenerkrankungen, aufweisend ein mehrteiliges Gehäuse, mit mindestens einer Vibrationsfläche und mindestens einem elektrodynamischen Antriebselement, wobei die wenigstens eine Vibrationsfläche über Dämpfungselemente abgestützt ist.The invention relates to a treatment device, in particular for disc diseases, comprising a multi-part housing, with at least one vibrating surface and at least one electro-dynamic drive element, wherein the at least one vibrating surface is supported via damping elements.

Aus der
Die bekannten Vorrichtungen stellen eine sehr komplexe Anordnungen zur Bewegung eines Körpers da, die unter zur Hilfenahmen verschiedener Schwingungsmodi eine Bewegung des auf ihr liegenden Körpers verursachen. Durch die Komplexität der Vorrichtungen ist jedoch eine stufenlos variable Einstellung der Schwingungsmodi nicht gewährleistet. Auch kann durch die Vorrichtung keine leichtgängige Bewegung der Vibrationsfläche erfolgen. Ferner sind die Vorrichtungen aufgrund ihrer recht komplexen Bauart sehr aufwendig gestaltet und störanfällig.The known devices provide a very complex arrangements for the movement of a body, which cause a movement of the body lying on it under the aid of different modes of vibration. Due to the complexity of the devices, however, a continuously variable adjustment of the vibration modes is not guaranteed. Also can be done by the device no smooth movement of the vibrating surface. Furthermore, the devices are designed very expensive and prone to failure due to their rather complex design.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde die vorstehend genannten Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu überwinden und eine verbesserte Einstellung der Schwingungen zu ermöglichen.The invention is therefore based on the object to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to allow an improved adjustment of the vibrations.
Zur Lösung der Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass das Gehäuse aus einem Gehäuseunterteil und einem Gehäuseoberteil besteht und das Gehäuseoberteil über Dämpfungselemente gegenüber dem Gehäuseunterteil abgestützt ist und eine Vibrationsfläche aufweist, wobei das wenigstens eine Antriebselement unmittelbar mit der Vibrationsfläche synchron gekoppelt ist. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.To achieve the object, the invention provides that the housing consists of a lower housing part and an upper housing part and the upper housing part is supported via damping elements relative to the lower housing part and having a vibrating surface, wherein the at least one drive element is synchronously coupled directly to the vibrating surface. Advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
Die Aufgabe wird erfingdungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass zumindest eine zweiteilige Variante des Gehäuses gewählt wird, wobei ein Gehäuseunterteil und ein Gehäuseoberteil durch Dämpfungselemente gegeneinander abgestützt sind. Hierbei wird des Weiteren unmittelbar an das Gehäuseoberteil wenigstens ein Antriebselement montiert, welches zur Ansteuerung der Vibrationsfläche vorgesehen ist. Durch die direkte Montage erfolgt eine synchrone Kopplung des Antriebselementes mit der Vibrationsfläche, sodass die erzeugten Schwingungen unmittelbar auf die Vibrationsfläche übertragen werden können. Das Schwingungsverhalten kann im Weiteren durch die Auswahl einer bestimmten Schwungmasse bestimmt werden, welche unmittelbar mit der Vibrationsfläche oder gegebenenfalls mit dem Antriebselement gekoppelt ist.The object is erfingdungsgemäß solved in that at least a two-part variant of the housing is selected, wherein a lower housing part and a housing upper part are supported by damping elements against each other. In addition, at least one drive element is mounted directly on the upper housing part, which is intended to control the vibrating surface. Due to the direct assembly, a synchronous coupling of the drive element with the vibrating surface, so that the vibrations generated can be transmitted directly to the vibrating surface. The vibration behavior can be determined in the further by the selection of a specific flywheel, which is coupled directly to the vibrating surface or optionally to the drive element.
Hierdurch wird ermöglicht, dass die Vibrationsfläche mit dem Antriebselement zusammen leichtgängig in Schwingung versetzt werden kann. Eine Schwungmasse, die sich im Zentrum der Schwingspule befindet, wird durch die anliegende Wechselspannung zur Schwingung angeregt. Die Schwungmasse ist mit einer Membran verbunden, die die Bewegung der Schwungmasse über ein Befestigungselement an die Vibrationsfläche weiterleitet. In Abhängigkeit von der Schwungmasse und der Schwingungsfrequenz erfolgt eine unterschiedlich starke Auslenkung der Vibrationsfläche, wobei die Vibrationsfläche und das Antriebselement während der Schwingung synchron miteinander gekoppelt sind, um eine direkte Schwingungsübertragung zu gewährleisten. Das Antriebselement weist weitergehend keine Abstützung gegenüber dem Gehäuse, insbesondere dem Gehäuseunterteil auf, wodurch die anzuregende Schwungmasse reduziert wird und zu einer freien Schwingung führt. Hierdurch wird eine Beeinflussung der Schwingung durch weitere Komponenten der Behandlungsvorrichtung erheblich reduziert. Die Behandlungsvorrichtung, die aus mehreren Gehäuseteilen bestehen kann, enthält Dämpfungselemente, die eine Dämpfung der Vibrationsbewegung gewährleisten und somit ein ungewolltes Schwingungsverhalten, insbesondere hinsichtlich störender Oberwellen verhindert. Die Dämpfungselemente sind variabel gestaltbar, beispielsweise können Elastomere, Metallfedern oder pneumatische Dämpfungselemente eingesetzt werden.This makes it possible that the vibrating surface can be smoothly vibrated together with the drive element. A flywheel, which is located in the center of the voice coil is excited by the applied AC voltage to vibrate. The flywheel is connected to a membrane which transmits the movement of the flywheel via a fastener to the vibrating surface. Depending on the flywheel mass and the oscillation frequency, the vibrating surface is deflected to a different extent, wherein the vibrating surface and the drive element are coupled synchronously with one another during the oscillation in order to ensure a direct transmission of vibrations. The drive element has further no support against the housing, in particular the housing lower part, whereby the flywheel to be excited is reduced and leads to a free vibration. As a result, an influence of the vibration by other components of the treatment device is significantly reduced. The treatment device, which may consist of several housing parts, contains damping elements which ensure damping of the vibratory movement and thus prevent undesired vibration behavior, in particular with regard to disturbing harmonics. The damping elements can be designed variably, for example, elastomers, metal springs or pneumatic damping elements can be used.
Als Antriebselement kommen beispielsweise Elektromagnete oder Lautsprecher, insbesondere Basslautsprecher in Betracht, welche mindestens eine, vorzugsweise mehrere Wicklungen, dass heißt Erregerspulen aufweisen, die unabhängig voneinander angesteuert werden können. Die zentrisch über der Schwingspule liegenden Abdeckkappen sind hierbei durch mindestens eine Schwungmasse ersetzbar, die ein variables Gewicht von 100 Gramm bis 10.000 Gramm aufweisen kann. In Abhängigkeit von der Wicklungszahl der Schwingspule, der Schwungmasse und des Magnettyps können in der Erregerspulen Schwingungen unabhängige mit einer Frequenz von 5 bis 800 Hertz erzeugt werden. Die entkoppelte Schwingungsbewegung der Vibrationsfläche sowie die Vermeidung ungewollter störender Oberwellen durch die freie Anordnung der Antriebselemente gegenüber dem Gehäuseunterteil ist ein Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung.As a driving element, for example, electromagnets or speakers, in particular woofers into consideration, which at least one, preferably a plurality of windings, that is, exciting coils, which can be controlled independently. The centrally located over the voice coil caps are hereby replaced by at least one flywheel, which is a variable May have a weight of 100 grams to 10,000 grams. Depending on the number of turns of the voice coil, the flywheel and the magnet type can be generated in the exciting coils independent vibrations with a frequency of 5 to 800 hertz. The decoupled vibration movement of the vibrating surface and the avoidance of unwanted disturbing harmonics by the free arrangement of the drive elements relative to the lower housing part is an advantage of the device according to the invention.
Bestimmte Körperorgane des menschlichen Körpers können einer bestimmten Frequenz zugeordnet werden, wobei jedes Organ auf eine bestimmte Frequenz empfindlich reagiert und dadurch ansprechbar ist. Die bestimmte Zuordnung des Körperorgans zu der jeweiligen Frequenz ist spürbar, wenn eine Anregung in der Resonanzfrequenz des jeweiligen Organs erfolgt. In der Regel zeigt sich dann in diesem erkrankten Organ ein Wärmegefühl bei der Anwendung der Behandlungsvorrichtung und ein starkes Vibrieren dieses erkrankten Organs. Insbesondere hat sich gezeigt, das zwischen 49 Hz-196 Hz alle Körperorgane, auch innenliegende Körperorgane, behandelt werden können.Certain body organs of the human body can be assigned to a certain frequency, whereby each organ reacts sensitively to a certain frequency and is thereby responsive. The specific allocation of the body organ to the respective frequency is noticeable when an excitation occurs in the resonance frequency of the respective organ. As a rule, a feeling of warmth in the use of the treatment device and a strong vibration of this diseased organ then show up in this diseased organ. In particular, it has been shown that between 49 Hz-196 Hz all body organs, including internal body organs, can be treated.
Besondere Vorteile der Erfindung sind durch eine leichte und kostengünstige Bauweise der Behandlungsvorrichtung gegeben, wobei durch die leichte Bauweise eine einfache regulierbare Einstellung der Vibrationsstärke möglich ist. Durch die Möglichkeit der Variabilität der Schwungmasse durch einen Austausch der Schwungmasse und die Variabilität der angelegten Frequenz ist beispielsweise eine veränderbare Schwingungsamplitude der Vibrationsfläche möglich. Hierdurch können auch sehr kleine Schwingungen in größeren Zeitintervallen erzeugt werden. Weiterhin ist es möglich, dass zwei Antriebselemente mit der Vibrationsfläche verbunden werden, sodass durch Überlagerung der beiden von den Antriebselementen ausgehenden Schwingungen eine stehende Welle in einem Auflagekörper der Vibrationsfläche erzeugt werden kann. Der Auflagekörper kann insbesondere zur medizinischen Behandlung aus einer Person bestehen.Particular advantages of the invention are given by a lightweight and inexpensive construction of the treatment device, with a simple adjustable adjustment of the vibration intensity is possible by the lightweight design. By the possibility of variability of the flywheel by an exchange of the flywheel and the variability of the applied frequency, for example, a variable amplitude of vibration of the vibrating surface is possible. As a result, even very small vibrations can be generated in larger time intervals. Furthermore, it is possible that two drive elements are connected to the vibrating surface, so that a standing wave can be generated in a support body of the vibrating surface by superposition of the two oscillations emanating from the drive elements. The support body may in particular consist of one person for medical treatment.
Darüber hinaus kann durch die Verwendung mindestens zweier Wicklungen somit eine verbesserte Einstellung einer Resonanzfrequenz vorgenommen werden, wodurch eine leichte Anpassungsmöglichkeit an die Eigen-Resonanzfrequenz des zur Schwingung anzuregenden Körpers durchführbar ist. Hierbei dient vorzugsweise ein erstes Antriebselement zur Erzeugung einer Schwingung, während über zumindest ein weiteres Antriebselement mit einer vom ersten Antriebselement unabhängigen Frequenz eine Abbremsung der Vibrationsfläche erfolgen kann.In addition, by using at least two windings, an improved setting of a resonance frequency can thus be carried out, whereby a slight possibility of adaptation to the intrinsic resonance frequency of the body to be excited for oscillation can be carried out. In this case, a first drive element is preferably used to generate a vibration, while at least one further drive element can be used to decelerate the vibration surface at a frequency which is independent of the first drive element.
Auch ist man nicht an bestimmte Ausführungsformen der Antriebselemente gebunden. Entscheidend ist lediglich, dass die Antriebselemente als solche einzeln und unabhängiges voneinander steuerbar sind, um eine gewünschte Veränderung der Generierung der Schwingungen eines Antriebs sowohl in der Frequenz als auch in der Amplitude zu ermöglichen. Die Amplituden können dabei durch die Überlagerung der Schwingungen zweier oder mehrerer Antriebe gesteuert werden, ebenfalls durch abweichende Frequenzen oder Phasenverschiebungen. Es ist darüber hinaus auch möglich, weitere Antriebe vorzusehen, was beispielsweise zu empfehlen ist, wenn die Schwingauflage großflächig ausgeführt ist, wobei gegebenenfalls einige Antriebselemente synchron angesteuert werden können, um eine besonders große Amplitude zu erzielen. Zudem besteht die Möglichkeit, unterschiedliche Antriebselemente miteinander zu kombinieren.Also, one is not bound to specific embodiments of the drive elements. All that matters is that the drive elements as such are individually and independently controllable from each other to allow a desired change in the generation of the vibrations of a drive both in frequency and in amplitude. The amplitudes can be controlled by the superposition of the oscillations of two or more drives, also by deviating frequencies or phase shifts. In addition, it is also possible to provide further drives, which is recommended, for example, when the oscillating support is designed over a large area, where appropriate, some drive elements can be controlled synchronously in order to achieve a particularly large amplitude. In addition, it is possible to combine different drive elements with each other.
In einfachster Form werden Elektromotoren als Antriebselemente verwendet, auf deren Wellenzapfen eine Schwungscheibe aufgebracht ist, die eine exzenterförmige Masse aufweist, also eine Unwuchtmasse. Es ist darüber hinaus auch möglich auf einer Schwingspule Unwuchtmassen anzuordnen, die gegen die Kraft einer Feder in einstellbar sind. Auch durch die Drehung der Antriebselemente können die Amplituden der Schwingungen beeinflusst werden.In the simplest form electric motors are used as drive elements, on the shaft journal a flywheel is applied, which has an eccentric mass, ie an imbalance mass. It is also possible to arrange on a voice coil imbalance masses that are adjustable against the force of a spring. Also by the rotation of the drive elements, the amplitudes of the vibrations can be influenced.
Als Antriebselemente können umfunktionierte Basslautsprecher dienen. Durch den Einsatz einer austauschbaren Schwungmasse im Zentrum der Basslautsprecher ist eine kostengünstige Herstellung der Antriebselemente und in der Folge der Behandlungsvorrichtung denkbar. Damit ist auch in wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht ein Vorteil gegenüber dem bisherigen Stand der Technik zu sehen.As drive elements can be converted bass speakers. Through the use of an exchangeable flywheel in the center of the woofer low cost production of the drive elements and as a result of the treatment device is conceivable. Thus, an advantage over the prior art can be seen in economic terms.
An Stelle von elektromotorischen oder elektromagnetischen sowie elektroakustischen Antriebssystemen können aber auch hydraulische oder pneumatische Antriebselemente verwendet werden. Darüber hinaus ist es auch möglich, Linearmotoren zu verwenden, die nach dem elektromagnetischen Prinzip eine gegenläufige Verschiebung zweier Massen ermöglichen, indem Spulenanordnungen, die linear angeordnet sind, stufenweise mit Strom beaufschlagt werden, um eine longitudinale relative Bewegung der Massen zu ermöglichen. Durch Richtungsumsteuerung werden dann die Schwingungen generiert.Instead of electromotive or electromagnetic and electro-acoustic drive systems but also hydraulic or pneumatic drive elements can be used. In addition, it is also possible to use linear motors, which allow the electromagnetic principle, an opposite displacement of two masses by means of coil assemblies which are arranged linearly, are gradually supplied with current to allow a longitudinal relative movement of the masses. By direction reversal then the vibrations are generated.
Die Antriebselemente sollten so steuerbar sein, dass sie gegenläufig oder gleichläufig die Schwingungsenergie an die Vibrationsfläche abgeben. Um eventuell unwuchtige Schwungmassen, wie sie beispielsweise bei Exzenterantrieben vorgesehen sind, räumlich besser unterbringen zu können, kann in der Vibrationsfläche ein Durchbruch vorgesehen sein. Es ist aber auch möglich, durch entsprechende Abstandshalter den Rahmen für die Befestigung der Antriebe abgesetzt, unterhalb der Schwingplatte vorzusehen. Der Fachmann kann die Antriebe entsprechend konzipieren und anordnen, damit eine möglichst kleine Bauausführung gegeben ist.The drive elements should be controllable so that they deliver the vibrational energy to the vibrating surface in opposite directions or in the same direction. In order to accommodate any unbalanced flywheel masses, as provided for example in eccentric drives, spatially better, a breakthrough may be provided in the vibrating surface. But it is also possible to offset by appropriate spacers the frame for the attachment of the drives, to provide below the swing plate. The expert can design and arrange the drives accordingly, so that the smallest possible construction is given.
Der Einsatz von Antriebselementen eignet sich insbesondere bei Liegen zur Vibrationstherapie. Das entsprechende Steuergerät, das zur Ansteuerung der Antriebselemente erforderlich ist, kann über eine ortsgebundene oder einer Fernbedienung steuerbar sein. Mittels Handsteuerung oder Steuerprogramm, das über einen im Steuergerät vorhandenen Mikroprozessor abläuft, können dabei Behandlungszyklen eingestellt oder ausgewählt werden, um damit beispielsweise bei der Vibrationstherapie die Wirbelsäule eines Patienten mit gewünschten Schwingungen behandeln zu können, wobei mit der Vibrationsmassage zum Beispiel relative Verschiebungen von Wirbelsäulengliedern rückgängig gemacht werden können.The use of drive elements is particularly suitable for lying for vibration therapy. The corresponding control unit, which is required to control the drive elements, can be controlled via a local or a remote control. By means of manual control or control program, which runs through a microprocessor present in the control unit, treatment cycles can be set or selected in order to be able to treat the spinal column of a patient with desired oscillations, for example in the vibration therapy, with the vibrating massage, for example, reversing relative displacements of spinal column members can be made.
Dies kann unter anderem dazu führen, dass Schwingungsbäuche und Schwingungstäler in unterschiedlichen Bereichen des Auflagekörpers erzeugt werden, die eine variable, örtliche Einflussnahme der Schwingungsbewegungen auf den Auflagekörper ermöglichen. Dies ist für eine Behandlung erkrankter Gewebepartien sowie zur Stimulation von Gewebeschichten, wie beispielsweise für den Muskelaufbau, besonders günstig. Auch ist denkbar, dass die Vorrichtung durch ihre örtliche und zeitliche Variabilität hinsichtlich ihrer Schwingungsmaxima, Entlastungen bei muskulären Verspannungen ermöglicht und auch zur Behandlung von neuralen Blockierungen, insbesondere ISG Blockierungen, einsetzbar ist. Ferner ist es denkbar, die Behandlungsvorrichtung zur Behandlung von Bandscheibenvorfällen einzusetzen, da zumindest zeitweise in Bereichen des Auflagekörpers eine stehende Welle erzeugt werden kann. Durch den Einsatz mehrerer Antriebselemente ist es möglich eine Schwingungskopplung zu erzielen, die durch Überlagerung der verschiedenen Schwingungsfrequenzen eine Stimulation des Auflagekörpers durch die Ausbildung einer stehenden Welle ermöglicht.Among other things, this can lead to the fact that antinodes and vibrating valleys are produced in different regions of the support body, which has a variable, local influence of the oscillatory movements on the support body enable. This is for a treatment of diseased tissue parts as well as for the stimulation of tissue layers, such as for muscle building, particularly favorable. It is also conceivable that the device is due to their spatial and temporal variability in terms of their maximum vibration, relief in muscular tension allows and also for the treatment of neural block, in particular ISG blockages, can be used. Further, it is conceivable to use the treatment device for the treatment of herniated discs, since at least temporarily in areas of the support body, a standing wave can be generated. By using a plurality of drive elements, it is possible to achieve a vibration coupling, which enables a superposition of the different vibration frequencies stimulation of the support body by the formation of a standing wave.
Durch Erzeugung einer stehenden Welle im Auflagekörper kann somit eine Resonanzschwingung erzeugt werden, die der Eigenfrequenz des Auflagekörpers entspricht und somit die Stimulation bestimmter Körperregionen ermöglicht, wobei durch Änderung, Anpassung oder geringere Variationen der Resonanzschwingung die Stimulation verändert werden kann. Hierdurch ist es beispielsweise auch möglich die Stimulation stetig zu verändern gegebenenfalls in vorgewählten Zeitabständen mit gleichen Frequenzen zu wiederholen.By generating a standing wave in the support body, a resonance oscillation can thus be generated which corresponds to the natural frequency of the support body and thus enables the stimulation of certain body regions, whereby the stimulation can be changed by changing, adapting or making smaller variations of the resonance oscillation. As a result, it is also possible, for example, to continuously change the stimulation, if necessary to repeat it at preselected time intervals with the same frequencies.
