Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Purpose of the Invention" Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an improvement in a conductor used in connection with an ultrasonic therapy device that produces a pine surge effect on an affected area.

``Conventional technology'' Conventionally, the conductor of an ultrasonic treatment device that transmits ultrasonic waves through the skin of the human body and reaches deep under the skin to give a pine surge effect to the patient is carried out by holding the conductor in the hand and scanning the affected area of the patient for treatment. Later, low-frequency therapy was applied to the affected area to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. That is,
Because ultrasound treatment and low-frequency treatment were performed separately, the treatment time was long, with the treatment time using the ultrasonic treatment device being the sum of the treatment time using the low-frequency treatment device (usually 20 minutes). There was a drawback.

In addition, there were devices that combined the inductor of the ultrasonic therapy device and the inductive electrode of the low-frequency therapy device, and required a separate inductor for the indifferent electrode of the low-frequency therapy device, but this had the disadvantage of increasing manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the low-frequency treatment device had the disadvantage that the related and indifferent electrodes were far apart, resulting in attenuated low-frequency output, and the device was unsuitable for patients who disliked energization because the current was applied to the indifferent electrode area, which was not the treatment area. .

As in the invention related to (1), the ultrasonic wave transmitting plate is exposed on the bottom of the conductor body, and around it, related electrodes and indifferent electrodes for low-frequency treatment devices are attached facing each other. Alternatively, if a failure occurs in any of the low frequency conductors, there is a drawback that the conductor itself becomes unusable.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The problem to be solved by the invention is that it is possible to removably combine the conductor of an ultrasonic treatment device and the conductor of a low-frequency treatment device to perform treatment using ultrasound and low-frequency waves at the same time. The object of the present invention is to provide an ultrasonic/low-frequency composite conductor that can be replaced immediately even if either the ultrasonic conductor or the low-frequency conductor breaks down.

``Structure of the invention'' Means for solving the problems The means of the invention consists of an ultrasonic conductor main body equipped with an ultrasonic oscillation element, and a low It consists of a low-frequency conductor main body equipped with a frequency treatment electrode, and electric wires connected to the treatment device body are introduced into both main bodies, and the tip of each wire is connected to an ultrasonic oscillation element and a low-frequency treatment electrode. It was connected.

Functions and Examples In FIGS. 1 and 2, the ultrasonic conductor main body 2 is a low-frequency wave conductor, which is formed into an annular shape, is fitted around the ultrasonic conductor main body 1, and is fixed with a set screw 3. It is now possible to do so. The ultrasound conductor main body 1 is provided integrally with a hollow handle 4, and electric wires 5 and 6 connected to the treatment device main body are introduced into both main bodies 1 and 2. 7
is a joining ring, and a notch 7b into which the electric wire 6 is fitted is formed in the inner diameter 7a which fits into the handle 4, so that the electric wire 6 can be inserted as shown in FIG.
can be attached along with the handle 4.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the ultrasonic conductor main body 1 has an ultrasonic transmission plate 8 exposed on its lower surface, an ultrasonic oscillation element 9 provided on its upper surface, and a connecting terminal 1 in contact with the ultrasonic transmitting plate 8.
0 is attached to an insulating plate 13 which is fixed to a support plate 11 inside the ultrasonic conductor main body 1 with screws 12 and 12', and the electric wire 5 is connected to the support plate 11 and the electric wire 5' is connected to a connecting terminal 10. In addition, the annular low frequency conductor main body 2
has a pair of arc-shaped low frequency treatment electrodes 14, 1 on the lower surface.
An insulating ring 16 with 4' fixed with screws 15a, 15b, 15c, and 15d is fixed to the conductor main body 2 with screws 17 and 17', and a wire for each low frequency treatment is attached to the end of the electric wire 6 as shown in FIG. connected to the electrodes 14, 14';
A cushioning material 18 surrounds the portion where the ultrasonic transducer 1 is fitted. 19 is a buffer pipe fitted into the electric wire 6;
Reference numeral 20 denotes a mounting ring for fixing the ultrasonic transmission plate 8 to the ultrasonic conductor main body 1, with a packing 21 interposed therebetween.

When performing only ultrasound treatment, which does not cause a tingling sensation to the human body but penetrates into the human body and improves blood circulation,
Using the ultrasound transducer main body 1, when treatment is required to stimulate the patient's motor nerves and produce a musculoskeletal effect on the muscles, the low frequency transducer main body 2 is replaced with the ultrasonic transducer main body 1.
It can be fitted around the body and perform both treatments at the same time.

"Effects of the invention" According to this invention, it is possible to perform only ultrasound treatment or to perform low-frequency treatment at the same time as ultrasound treatment, instead of performing both treatments separately as in the past. The treatment time is shorter than that of
There is no need to manufacture the main ultrasonic guide and the main low-frequency guide separately, making it possible to significantly reduce manufacturing costs.

Furthermore, even if either the main ultrasound guide or the main low frequency guide breaks down, it can be easily replaced.
