Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a hand shower type ultrasonic treatment device, particularly a device that performs treatment in hot water by generating bubbles using compressed air and ultrasonic waves.

Generally, an ultrasonic bath or an ultrasonic bubble generator is known that performs treatment using the cavitation phenomenon when bubbles are destroyed by ultrasonic waves in hot water in a bathtub.

However, such devices have the disadvantage that they cannot be easily held in the hand and irradiated the affected area because they are fixed to a part of the bathtub or are not designed to be portable. .

The purpose of this invention is to provide an ultrasonic treatment device in which a relatively small ultrasonic oscillator is housed in the head of a hand shower type casing, and can be used portable or fixed in hot water in a bathtub. There is a particular thing.

An example of this invention will be explained in detail below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a hand shower type casing, which has a hollow shape formed by joining two split parts together, and has an ultrasonic oscillator 3 fixed in its head 2.

This ultrasonic oscillator 3 is surrounded by a cover 4 made of metal or hard rubber, and further covered all around with a waterproof material 5 made of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, or synthetic resin. Fixed.

The waterproofed ultrasonic oscillator 3 is fixed with its oscillation surface facing the opening side of the casing head 2, and the opening is closed by a cap 7 having a large number of pore groups 6. A space formed between the ultrasonic oscillator 3 and the oscillation surface is a bubble mixing chamber 8, and a communication passage 9 communicating with this mixing chamber 8 is opened in the handle portion 10 of the casing 1.

The handle part 10 of the hand shower type casing 1 is internally separated by a partition wall 19 into an air passage 11 that opens to the communication passage 9 and a passage 18 that houses the cord 12 connected to the electrodes 3 a and 3 b of the ultrasonic oscillator 3 . Divided into handle part 10
An air hose 13 and a cord 12 extend from the terminal.

Numeral 14 is a protrusion for hanging the casing 1 upside down, which protrudes from the center of the handle portion 10 in opposite directions to the left and right.

15 is a compressor connected to the air hose 13, 1
6 is an ultrasonic signal generator connected to the cord 12.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a hanger fitting for fixing the treatment device of the present invention in the bathtub A, which is composed of a part 17a suspended from the edge of the bathtub A and a ring part 17b for hanging the protrusion 14. There is.

The ultrasonic therapy device of the present invention having the above structure is used while being immersed in hot water B of bathtub A, as shown in FIG.

That is, compressed air from the compressor 15 is subdivided by ultrasonic waves in the mixing chamber 8 and radiated toward the affected area to perform treatment.

In this case, it may be supported by a hanger fitting 17 hooked to the protrusion 14, or the affected area may be directly irradiated with the handle 10 of the casing 1 in hot water.

As described above, the present invention is designed to be a hand shower type, so that it can be used freely by hand.Since the ultrasonic oscillator is completely waterproof, the mixing chamber in the head can be used effectively. Since the air bubbles are broken down by the ultrasonic oscillator, it exhibits excellent effects such as being effective as an ultrasonic treatment device.
