Abstract
Description
La pressente invention a trait aux appareils de traitement therapsu- tique à rayonnement infrarouge et elle concerne plus particulièrement (car c'est: dans ce cas que son application semble présentes le plus d'interet), mais non exclusivement, les dispositifs de stimulation locale utilisés en acupuncture et auriculotherapie, du genre notamment de celui qui fait ltobjet de la demande de brevet franglais N0 78 09388 deposée le 23 Mars 1978 au nom de la Demanderesse. The present invention relates to devices for therapeutic treatment with infrared radiation and it relates more particularly (because it is: in this case that its application seems to be of most interest), but not exclusively, the local stimulation devices. used in acupuncture and auriculotherapie, of the kind in particular of that which is the subject of the French patent application N0 78 09388 filed March 23, 1978 in the name of the Applicant.
On sait que les appareils de ce type comprennent généralement, montée à l'intérleur d'une sonde manuelle convenablement alimentee, une diode propre à émettre un faisceau, cohérent ou non, de rayons infrarouges, ce faisceau étant appliqué de façon discontinue sur l'emplacement choisi du corps d'un sujet afin d'obtenir la stimulation locale recherchée. We know that devices of this type generally comprise, mounted inside a suitably powered manual probe, a diode capable of emitting a beam, coherent or not, of infrared rays, this beam being applied discontinuously to the chosen location of a subject's body in order to obtain the desired local stimulation.
L'expérience démontre qu'on obtient de la sorte des résultats excellents moyennant un maniement convenable de la sonde émettrice par le praticien. Il y a lieu toutefois de remarquer que l'oeil humain n'étant pas sensible au spectre infrarouge, ce praticien peut être gene par l'impossibilite de savoir de façon simple si son appareil est en bon état de fonctionnement. Experience has shown that excellent results are obtained in this way by suitable handling of the transmitting probe by the practitioner. It should however be noted that the human eye is not sensitive to the infrared spectrum, this practitioner can be hampered by the impossibility of knowing in a simple way if his device is in good working order.
C'est à cet inconvénient pratique qu'entend remédier la présente invention, laquelle consiste principalement a faire comporter aux appareils de traitement thérapeutique envisagés un détecteur électronique dont l'organe sensible est disposé au niveau de la paroi extérieure de l'appareil considéré, de façon à pouvoir etre soumis, lorsque désiré, au rayonnement de la sonde de traitement et a émettre un signal destiné à l'information du praticien. It is to this practical drawback that the present invention intends to remedy, which consists mainly in making the therapeutic treatment apparatus envisaged comprise an electronic detector, the sensitive member of which is disposed at the level of the external wall of the apparatus considered, of so as to be able to be subjected, when desired, to the radiation of the treatment probe and to emit a signal intended for the information of the practitioner.
Conformément à un mode de mise en oeuvre prefere de l'invention, l'organe sensible du détecteur est constitué par une photodiode adaptée à la longueur d'onde de l'infrarouge et reliée à l'entrez d'un étage amplificateur afin d'émettre un signal de sortie apte a la commande d'un dispositif lumineux ou sonore. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, the sensitive member of the detector consists of a photodiode adapted to the wavelength of the infrared and connected to the input of an amplifier stage in order to emit an output signal suitable for controlling a light or sound device.
Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et les avantages qu'elle est susceptible de procurer
La figure unique de ce dessin montre le schéma d'une forme de réalisation du détecteur équipant un appareil de traitement thérapeutique établi conformément à l'invention.The appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is capable of providing.
The single figure of this drawing shows the diagram of an embodiment of the detector fitted to a therapeutic treatment apparatus established in accordance with the invention.
Sur ce schéma la référence 1 désigne une photodiode qu'on peut supposer entre du type OPTRON OP 500, branchée entre le pole positif du circuit d'alimentation et une résistance 2, par exemple de 10K ft, reliée à la masse La photodiode 1 est montée dans la carcasse de l'appareil de traitement de façon à pouvoir etre soumise au rayonnement émis par la sonde manuelle de traitement, reliée par des conducteurs souples à la carcasse précitez. In this diagram, reference 1 designates a photodiode which can be assumed to be of the OPTRON OP 500 type, connected between the positive pole of the supply circuit and a resistor 2, for example of 10K ft, connected to ground. Photodiode 1 is mounted in the carcass of the treatment apparatus so as to be able to be subjected to the radiation emitted by the manual treatment probe, connected by flexible conductors to the aforementioned carcass.
L'étage de détection ainsi constitué est relie à un étage 3 de commande et de mise en forme du signal de sortie émis par la photodiode 1. Dans l'exemple de réalisation envisage, cet étage 3 comprend trois amplificateurs opérationnels en cascade, propres à permettre l'obtention d'un signal de sortie proportionnel au signal dtentrEe. The detection stage thus formed is connected to a stage 3 for controlling and shaping the output signal emitted by the photodiode 1. In the embodiment envisaged, this stage 3 comprises three operational cascade amplifiers, suitable for allow an output signal proportional to the input signal to be obtained.
Ce signal est envoyé à un jetage de sortie comprenant une résistance 4, par exemple de lOKfl , et un organe de signalisation 5. Dans la forme de realisation envisagée, cet organe est constitue par un ronfleur du type buzzer , mais il va de soi qu'on peut avoir recours à une ampoule lumineuse. Bien entendu cet organe 5 est relié à la masse du circuit afin d'être convenablement alimente. This signal is sent to an output jet comprising a resistor 4, for example of OKfl, and a signaling member 5. In the envisaged embodiment, this member is constituted by a buzzer of the buzzer type, but it goes without saying that '' you can use a light bulb. Of course this member 5 is connected to the ground of the circuit in order to be suitably supplied.
On comprend que lorsque le praticien entend vérifier le bon fonctionnement de l'appareil, il dirige la sonde de traitement sur la photodiode 1 de façon à ce que cette dernière soit soumise au rayonnement infrarouge émis par ladite sonde. Cette photodiode engendre un signal qui assure, à travers l'étage 3, la commande de l'organe 5 qui avertit ainsi 1 t opérateur . It is understood that when the practitioner intends to check the correct operation of the device, he directs the treatment probe on the photodiode 1 so that the latter is subjected to infrared radiation emitted by said probe. This photodiode generates a signal which, through the stage 3, controls the member 5 which thus warns 1 operator.
Il va de soi qu'on peut adopter différentes modifications au schéma décrit ci-dessus. C'est ainsi notamment que l'étage 3 peut comporter des moyens électroniques propres à faire intervenir des seuils de détection en deçà ou au delà desquels il y a ou non commande de la sortie. Le schéma électronique est en outre susceptible d'être agence de façon à ce que l'information émise par le dispositif 5 soit module en fonction des caracteristiques propres du rayonnement infrarouge. It goes without saying that various modifications to the scheme described above can be adopted. Thus, in particular, stage 3 can include electronic means capable of bringing into play detection thresholds below or beyond which there is or is not control of the output. The electronic diagram is furthermore capable of being arranged so that the information emitted by the device 5 is modulated as a function of the specific characteristics of the infrared radiation.
Il doit d'ailleurs être entendu que la description qui précède n'a été donnée qu'a titre d'exemple et qu'elle ne limite nullement le domaine de l'invention dont on ne sortirait pas en remplaçant les détails d'exécution décrits par tous autres équivalents. It should also be understood that the foregoing description has been given only by way of example and that it in no way limits the field of the invention from which one would not depart by replacing the execution details described by all other equivalents.
