Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily treat a deep part of a body cavity through a narrow space by forming a vibration transmitting member integrally with a planar tool to have a length of integral multiple of a half the wavelength of ultrasonic vibration. CONSTITUTION:A vibration transmitting member 9 is connected to the fore-end of a horn 1. The planar vibration transmitting member 9 is lambda/2 long or the half of the wavelength lambda of ultrasonic vibration. The connecting portion between the planar vibration transmitting member 9 and the horn 1 is the loop of the vibration. The ultrasonic vibration generated with a piezoelectric element 3 is transmitted to the horn 1 so that its amplitude is amplified, transmitted to the planar vibration transmitting member 9, and to a fore-end tool portion 10. As the vibration transmitting member 9 and part of the tool portion 10 are integrally formed with planar materials, treatment in a deep part of a body cavity is possible through a narrow space. Furthermore, a simple shape of the connecting portion between the vibration transmitting member 9 and the tool portion 10 is favorable for strength and accordingly for greater amplitude of ultrasonic vibration.

[Prior Art] An ultrasonic treatment device that uses ultrasonic vibration to treat an affected part of a living body is known from Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 159953/1984. The probe (vibration transmission member) in this type of ultrasonic treatment device is generally made of a metal member, and its tip serves as a working end. Further, the probe (vibration transmission member) has a structure in which an ultrasonic vibrator (ultrasonic vibration generating section) is connected to the base via a horn. The ultrasonic vibrator generates ultrasonic waves with a driving frequency that sets the tip of the probe at the antinode of the vibration, thereby generating an amplitude necessary for treatment at the tip of the probe.

When an electric signal from an ultrasonic drive signal oscillator (not shown) is applied to the piezoelectric element 3 manually, the piezoelectric element 1 performs mechanical ultrasonic vibration based on the drive signal. After the amplitude of this ultrasonic vibration is expanded by the horn 1, it is transmitted to the probe 6, and the amplitude is further expanded by the second horn 7 in the probe 6.

Also, a flat tool 8 at the tip of the vibration transmission member
As shown in Fig. 6a, the horn (vibration transmitting member) and the tool are integrated. In the ultrasonic treatment device of the type disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 53-19874, the horn 7 having a relatively large outer diameter has a
Since it is located near the base of the tool member, it is difficult to perform treatment inside the body cavity through a narrow space, and operability is poor.

In addition, since the horn 7 or vibration transmission member with a circular cross section suddenly changes to a rectangular cross section from the vibration transmitting member to the tool 8, stress concentration tends to occur near the root of the tool 8, and when high amplitude ultrasonic vibrations propagate, , this part is easy to break,
There is a risk that the tip of the tool 8 may fall into the body cavity. Furthermore, since the horn 7 with a circular cross section and the tool 8 with a rectangular cross section are integrally formed, there is a problem that manufacturing is time consuming and costly.

Further, the conventional ultrasonic treatment apparatus having a flat tool 8 at the tip of the probe 6 has the following problems. In other words, when the tool 8 is configured to be detachable from the vibration transmission member of the probe 6, the mechanical strength of the attachment/detachment structure is lower than that of a structure in which the vibration transmission member and tool member are integrated. tends to decline. For this reason, when high-amplitude ultrasonic vibrations are propagated, there are problems in that the structural parts to be attached and detached may be damaged, and the tool parts may easily fall off.

Furthermore, the vibration transmission member is a member that is simply formed by processing the tip of a strip-shaped plate into a tool shape, and is easy to process, so that manufacturing costs can be reduced. Furthermore, since the connecting portion between the vibration transmitting member and the flat tool does not have a complicated shape, the strength is uniform throughout the entire length of the vibration transmitting member, and it is possible to perform ultrasonic oscillation with higher amplitude.
