FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining a positive pressure generating step in a method of generating a vacuum pulse for a medical device according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, a vacuum pulse generator for a medical instrument includes a vacuum cup 100, a main body 200, and an input / output unit 300. At this time, the vacuum cup 100 and the main body 200 can be connected through a tube, and the tube transmits the positive pressure and the negative pressure generated in the main body 200 to the vacuum cup 100. In addition, the vacuum cup 100 and the main body 200 may be connected using various methods capable of transmitting air pressure.

At this time, the vacuum cup 100 can apply negative pressure and positive pressure to the patient's skin in close contact with a target site located on the patient's skin. On the other hand, the vacuum cup 100 may directly contact the skin of the patient, but may indirectly contact the skin of the patient through the medical wrap.

The main body 200 provides positive and negative pressure to the vacuum cup 100 through the tube and controls the positive pressure and the negative pressure applied to the target site through the vacuum cup 100.

The input / output unit 300 receives a negative pressure generation command and a positive pressure generation command for the vacuum pulse generator for a medical device of the user, and outputs a result of determining whether the vacuum cup 100 is movable in the main body 200. [

2, the vacuum pulse generator for a medical instrument according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a vacuum cup 100, a main body 200, and an input / output unit 300. The main body 200 includes a pressure regulator 210, a controller 220, a pump 230, and a compressor 240.

The vacuum cup 100 can be connected to the main body 200 through the main tube 101 and can be in contact with a target site located on the skin of the patient to allow the sound pressure provided by the pump 230 of the main body 200 to be transmitted to the patient And the positive pressure provided by the compressor 240 of the main body 200 can be applied to the skin of the patient.

At this time, the vacuum cup 100 may have all kinds of shapes capable of providing a negative pressure and a positive pressure to the affected part, including a hemispherical shape having an empty interior and a cylindrical shape having an empty interior.

The pressure regulator 210 is connected to the vacuum cup 100 through the main tube 101 and is connected to the pump 230 through the first tube 231 and is connected to the compressor 240 through the second tube 241. [ . That is, the pressure regulator 210 receives the negative pressure generated by the pump 230 through the first tube 231, provides the received negative pressure to the vacuum cup 100 through the main tube 101, After the positive pressure generated by the compressor 240 is transmitted through the second tube 241, the positive pressure is supplied to the vacuum cup 100 through the main tube 101.

At this time, the pressure regulator 210 regulates the magnitude of the negative pressure transmitted from the pump 230 and the positive pressure transmitted from the compressor 240, and controls the relative size of the negative pressure and the positive pressure. (Not shown).

The hinge 211 controls the magnitude of the negative pressure generated by the pump 230 and the positive pressure generated by the compressor 240 so as to transmit the negative pressure and the positive pressure adjusted through the main tube 101 to the vacuum cup 100 And supports the switch 212.

The switch 212 includes a first tube 231 for rotating the hinge 211 around the hinge 211 and connecting the pump 230 and the pressure regulator 210 in accordance with a command from the controller 220, And the second tube 241 connecting the device 210 are respectively opened and closed to adjust the positive pressure and the negative pressure applied to the vacuum cup 100. [

More specifically, when the control unit 220 commands that the positive pressure be relatively larger than the negative pressure, the switch 212 closes all or a portion of the first tube 231, Open some of them. In this case, the negative pressure applied through the pump 230 becomes relatively smaller than the positive pressure applied through the compressor 240, so that the positive pressure applied to the skin of the patient through the vacuum cup 100 is increased.

On the contrary, when the control unit 220 instructs that the positive pressure is relatively smaller than the negative pressure, the switch 212 opens all or a part of the first tube 231, and simultaneously opens all or a part of the second tube 241 Closing. In this case, the negative pressure applied through the pump 230 becomes relatively larger than the positive pressure applied through the compressor 240, so that the negative pressure applied to the skin of the patient through the vacuum cup 100 is increased.

The control unit 220 controls the pressure regulator 210, the pump 230, and the compressor 240 in response to a command input through the input / output unit 300.

For example, when the control unit 220 receives a command to generate a negative pressure through the input / output unit 300 or decrease the positive pressure and increase the relative magnitude of the negative pressure to greater than the positive pressure, the control unit 220 operates the switch 212, All or a part of the first tube 231 is opened and all or a part of the second tube 241 is closed. In this case, the negative pressure generated through the pump 230 is relatively transmitted to the vacuum cup 100, and the positive pressure generated through the compressor 240 is transmitted to the vacuum cup 100 relatively less.

As a result, the negative pressure in the vacuum cup 100 becomes higher than the positive pressure, and the pressure transmitted to the patient through the vacuum cup 100 adhered to the skin of the patient becomes a form of sound pressure as a whole. That is, the patient's skin receives a negative pressure, and the skin of the patient is sucked into the vacuum cup 100 and sucked into the empty space inside the vacuum cup 100 in a convex shape.

When the vacuum cup 100 is removed from the patient's skin or the vacuum cup 100 is moved to treat other parts of the patient's skin during the treatment, the controller 220 controls the input / It is instructed to decrease the negative pressure or generate a positive pressure through the pressure sensor 300 to make the relative magnitude of the negative pressure smaller than the positive pressure. At this time, the control unit 220 operates the switch 212 to close all or a part of the first tube 231 and simultaneously open all or a part of the second tube 241. In this case, the negative pressure generated through the pump 230 is transmitted to the vacuum cup 100 relatively less, and the positive pressure generated through the compressor 240 is transmitted to the vacuum cup 100 relatively more.

As a result, the positive pressure and the negative pressure inside the vacuum cup 100 become equal, or the positive pressure inside the vacuum cup 100 becomes higher than the negative pressure, and is transmitted to the skin through the vacuum cup 100 adhered to the patient's skin The pressure is in the form of atmospheric pressure or positive pressure as a whole. That is, the skin of the patient is no longer subjected to the negative pressure, and the skin of the patient, which has been sucked into the vacuum cup 100, is returned to its original state.

When the positive pressure and the negative pressure in the vacuum cup 100 are the same, the pressure applied to the skin becomes atmospheric pressure as a whole because the positive pressure provided by the compressor 240 and the negative pressure provided by the pump 230 are the same The only pressure left to offset is atmospheric pressure. That is, atmospheric pressure means a neutral pressure state.

As described above, the control unit 220 can actively adjust the relationship between the positive pressure and the negative pressure, and the vacuum pulse generator for a medical device according to the first embodiment of the present invention uses the positive pressure and the negative pressure, It is possible to provide the skin of the patient with a condition in which the sound pressure is the same or even the positive pressure is larger than the sound pressure.

Accordingly, in the vacuum pulse generator for a medical device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, in order to remove the vacuum cup 100 from the skin of the patient after completion of the treatment or to treat other parts of the patient's skin during the treatment, It is possible to reduce the force required by the practitioner to move the cup 100, thereby facilitating the convenience of the operator and preventing the patient's skin flushing, thereby preventing unnecessary pain to the patient.

Meanwhile, the control unit 220 may be commanded to repeatedly apply negative pressure and positive pressure at high speed through the input / output unit 300. [ In this case, the control unit 220 operates the switch 212 to open all or a part of the first tube 231 and simultaneously close all or a part of the second tube 241, 231 are closed, and at the same time, all or a part of the second tube 241 is opened.

In this case, the vacuum cup 100 repeats the state where the negative pressure is relatively higher than the positive pressure and the state where the positive pressure is relatively higher than the negative pressure at a high speed. As a result, negative pressure and positive pressure cross the skin of the patient do.

Further, when the negative pressure of the vacuum cup 100 is higher than the positive pressure, the control unit 220 determines that the vacuum cup 100 is in a state in which the vacuum cup 100 can be treated according to the result of the control according to the command input through the input / The vacuum cup 100 can be removed from the patient's skin when the positive pressure of the vacuum cup 100 is equal to or greater than the negative pressure, Output unit 300 to inform the user that the vacuum cup 100 can be moved to another target site through the input / output unit 300.

The pump 230 is connected to the pressure regulator 210 through the first tube 231. That is, the pump 230 sucks air from the vacuum cup 100 and then passes the air sequentially passing through the main tube 101, the pressure regulating device 210, and the first tube 231 to the main body 200 So that negative pressure is applied to the vacuum cup 100.

The compressor 240 is connected to the pressure regulating device 210 through the second tube 231. That is, after the compressor 240 sucks air from the outside of the main body 200, the sucked air is sequentially passed through the second tube 241, the pressure regulator 210, and the main tube 101, Thereby providing one air to the vacuum cup 100. As a result, positive pressure is applied to the vacuum cup 100.

The input / output unit 300 may be directly attached to the outer surface of the vacuum cup 100 or the outer surface of the main body 200, or may be electrically or mechanically connected to the main body 200. The user inputs a command for selecting a treatment mode through the input / output unit 300 or inputs a negative pressure inside the vacuum cup 100 to be larger than a positive pressure or a positive pressure inside the vacuum cup 100 is equal to or greater than a negative pressure You can enter various commands, including typing to do.

The input / output unit 300 can output various information including the current operation state of the device, the pressure state inside the vacuum cup 100, and whether the vacuum cup 100 can be removed or moved from the patient's skin have.

That is, the input / output unit 300 can inform the outside that the vacuum cup is movable when the positive pressure provided to the vacuum cup is greater than or equal to the negative pressure provided to the vacuum cup.

As shown in FIG. 3, the apparatus for generating a vacuum pulse for a medical device according to the first embodiment of the present invention may further include an ultrasonic generator 110. Here, the ultrasonic wave generator 110 may be attached along the wall surface inside the vacuum cup 100.

Since the description of other components except for the ultrasonic wave generator 110 has been described in detail with reference to FIG. 2, redundant description will be omitted.

The ultrasonic generator 110 operates in a state where the negative pressure applied to the patient's skin through the vacuum cup 100 is larger than the positive pressure. That is, in a state where the patient's skin is sucked up into the vacuum cup 100, the ultrasonic generator 110 can irradiate ultrasonic waves to the skin of the patient. At this time, the irradiated ultrasound can be used for various medical purposes such as treating a disease of a patient's skin, removing scars of a patient's skin, or removing fat in a patient's body.

The control unit 220 operates the pressure regulating device 210 so that the first tube 231 and the second tube 231 are connected to the first tube 231 and the second tube 231, respectively, when the vacuum pulse generator for a medical device according to the first embodiment of the present invention receives an ultrasound therapy command through the input / And at the same time, closes all or a part of the second tube 241. At this time, the negative pressure applied to the skin of the patient through the vacuum cup 100 becomes greater than the positive pressure, and the skin of the patient is sucked into the vacuum cup 100. Then, the control unit 220 operates the ultrasonic generator 110 to irradiate ultrasonic waves to the skin of the patient, which is sucked into the vacuum cup 100.

At this time, the ultrasonic generator 110 can generate ultrasonic waves of 0.7 MHz to 15 MHz and generate ultrasonic waves for various treatment purposes including high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

4, the vacuum pulse generator for a medical device according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a vacuum cup 100, a main body 200, and an input / output unit 300. Furthermore, the main body 200 includes a control unit 220, a pump 230, and a compressor 240.

The vacuum cup 100 is connected to the pump 230 through the first tube 231 and to the compressor 240 through the second tube 241. The vacuum cup 100 can apply the negative pressure provided by the pump 230 of the main body 200 to the skin of the patient in close contact with the target site located on the skin of the patient, A positive pressure provided by the patient can be applied to the skin of the patient.

At this time, the vacuum cup 100 may have all kinds of shapes capable of providing a negative pressure and a positive pressure to the affected part, including a hemispherical shape having an empty interior and a cylindrical shape having an empty interior.

The control unit 220 controls the pump 230 and the compressor 240 in response to a command input through the input / output unit 300.

For example, when the control unit 220 receives a command to generate a negative pressure through the input / output unit 300 or to decrease the positive pressure and make the relative magnitude of the negative pressure larger than the positive pressure, the control unit 220 controls the pump 230 and the compressor 240 To adjust the negative pressure provided by the pump 230 to be higher than the positive pressure provided by the compressor 240. [

More specifically, the control unit 220 operating the pump 230 and the compressor 240 simultaneously or simultaneously can increase the negative pressure applied to the vacuum cup by the pump, or increase the positive pressure applied to the vacuum cup by the compressor Can be reduced.

As a result, the total pressure supplied to the vacuum cup 100 becomes negative. In other words, the pressure transmitted to the skin to the patient through the vacuum cup 100 adhered to the patient's skin also takes the form of sound pressure as a whole. That is, the patient's skin receives a negative pressure, and the skin of the patient is sucked into the vacuum cup 100 and sucked into the empty space inside the vacuum cup 100 in a convex shape.

When the vacuum cup 100 is removed from the patient's skin or the vacuum cup 100 is moved to treat other parts of the patient's skin during the treatment, the controller 220 controls the input / The user is instructed to decrease the negative pressure or generate a positive pressure through the filter 300 to make the relative magnitude of the negative pressure less than or equal to the positive pressure. At this time, the control unit 220 operates the pump 230 and the compressor 240 simultaneously to adjust the positive pressure provided by the compressor 240 to be higher or equal to the negative pressure provided by the pump 230.

More specifically, when the control unit 220 operates the pump 230 and the compressor 240 simultaneously or simultaneously, the positive pressure applied to the vacuum cup by the compressor is increased, or the negative pressure applied to the vacuum cup by the pump Can be reduced.

In this case, the total pressure supplied to the vacuum cup 100 becomes atmospheric pressure or positive pressure. In other words, the pressure transmitted to the patient through the vacuum cup 100, which is in close contact with the patient's skin, also takes the form of atmospheric pressure or positive pressure as a whole.

That is, the skin of the patient is no longer subjected to the negative pressure, and the skin of the patient, which has been sucked into the vacuum cup 100, is returned to its original state. That is, the control unit 220 can actively control the relationship between the positive pressure and the negative pressure by operating the pump 230 and the compressor 240, and the vacuum pulse generator for a medical device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, It is possible to provide the skin of the patient with a condition equal to or greater than the sound pressure.

Accordingly, in the vacuum pulse generator for a medical device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, in order to remove the vacuum cup 100 from the patient's skin after the treatment is completed or to treat other parts of the patient's skin during the treatment, It is possible to reduce the force required by the practitioner to move the cup 100, thereby facilitating the convenience of the operator and preventing the patient's skin flushing, thereby preventing unnecessary pain to the patient.

Meanwhile, the control unit 220 may be commanded to repeatedly apply negative pressure and positive pressure at high speed through the input / output unit 300. [ In this case, the control unit 220 operates the pump 230 and the compressor 240 at the same time so that the negative pressure provided by the pump 230 is higher than the positive pressure provided by the compressor 240, The positive pressure provided by the pump 230 crosses over the negative pressure provided by the pump 230. In this case, the vacuum cup 100 repeats the state where the negative pressure is relatively higher than the positive pressure and the positive pressure is relatively higher than the negative pressure at a high speed.

The pump 230 is connected to the vacuum cup 100 through the first tube 231. That is, the pump 230 sucks air from the vacuum cup 100 and then discharges the air that has passed through the first tube 231 to the outside of the main body 200, thereby applying a negative pressure to the vacuum cup 100.

The compressor 240 connects the second tube 231 to the vacuum cup 100. That is, the compressor 240 sucks air from the outside of the main body 200, and then passes the sucked air through the second tube 241 to the vacuum cup 100. As a result, positive pressure is applied to the vacuum cup 100.

The input / output unit 300 may be directly attached to the outer surface of the vacuum cup 100 or the outer surface of the main body 200, or may be electrically or mechanically connected to the main body 200. The user inputs a command for selecting a treatment mode through the input / output unit 300 or inputs a negative pressure inside the vacuum cup 100 to be larger than a positive pressure or a positive pressure inside the vacuum cup 100 is equal to or greater than a negative pressure You can enter various commands, including typing to do.

The input / output unit 300 can output various information including the current operation state of the device, the pressure state inside the vacuum cup 100, and whether the vacuum cup 100 can be removed or moved from the patient's skin have.

That is, the input / output unit 300 can inform the outside that the vacuum cup is movable when the positive pressure provided to the vacuum cup is greater than or equal to the negative pressure provided to the vacuum cup.

As shown in FIG. 5, the vacuum pulse generator for a medical device according to the second embodiment of the present invention may further include an ultrasonic generator 110. Here, the ultrasonic wave generator 110 may be attached along the wall surface inside the vacuum cup 100.

Since the description of other components except for the ultrasonic wave generator 110 has been described in detail with reference to FIG. 4, redundant description will be omitted.

The ultrasonic generator 110 operates in a state where the negative pressure applied to the patient's skin through the vacuum cup 100 is larger than the positive pressure. That is, in a state where the patient's skin is sucked up into the vacuum cup 100, the ultrasonic generator 110 can irradiate ultrasonic waves to the skin of the patient. At this time, the irradiated ultrasound can be used for various medical purposes such as treating a disease of a patient's skin, removing scars of a patient's skin, or removing fat in a patient's body.

When the vacuum pulse generator for a medical device according to the second embodiment of the present invention receives an ultrasound treatment command through the input and output unit 300, the controller 220 operates the pump 230 and the compressor 240 simultaneously or simultaneously , So that the negative pressure provided by the pump 230 is superior to the positive pressure provided by the compressor 240. At this time, the skin of the patient is sucked into the vacuum cup 100 according to the negative pressure of the vacuum cup 100. Then, the control unit 220 operates the ultrasonic generator 110 to irradiate ultrasonic waves to the skin of the patient, which is sucked into the vacuum cup 100.

At this time, the ultrasonic generator 110 can generate ultrasonic waves of 0.7 MHz to 15 MHz and generate ultrasonic waves for various treatment purposes including high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU).

6, a method of generating a vacuum pulse for a medical device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of contacting a vacuum cup 100 (S100) to a target site, Or the negative pressure applied to the vacuum cup 100 by the compressor 240 is reduced so that the total pressure provided to the vacuum cup 100 becomes a negative pressure, And the negative pressure applied to the vacuum cup 100 by the pump 230 is reduced so that the total pressure provided to the vacuum cup 100 is reduced And a positive pressure generating step S300 for controlling the pressure to be the atmospheric pressure or the positive pressure.

In the negative pressure generating step S200, the control unit 220 operates the pressure regulating device 210 or operates the pump 230 and the compressor 240, respectively, or simultaneously so that the pump 230 is supplied to the vacuum cup 100 So that the applied negative pressure is greater than the positive pressure provided by the compressor 240 and applied to the vacuum cup 100.

In this case, the skin of the patient is sucked into the vacuum cup 100 and sucked up into a hollow space inside the vacuum cup 100 to be lifted up . At this time, the sound pressure generated in the vacuum cup 100 can have a therapeutic effect itself. Further, between the negative pressure generating step S200 and the positive pressure generating step S300, the ultrasonic wave generator 110 is used The step of irradiating ultrasonic waves may further be included.

In the positive pressure generating step S300, the controller 220 operates the pressure regulating device 210 or the pump 230 and the compressor 240, respectively, so that the compressor 240 provides the vacuum cup 100 So that the applied positive pressure is higher or equal to the negative pressure provided by the pump 230 and applied to the vacuum cup 100.

At this time, the pressure applied to the skin of the patient is in the form of atmospheric pressure or positive pressure. In this case, the patient's skin is no longer subjected to negative pressure, and the patient's skin, which has been sucked into the vacuum cup 100, Return. In the positive pressure generating step S300, the patient's skin is no longer sucked into the vacuum cup 100, so that the vacuum cup 100 can move smoothly as it moves to treat another treatment target site.

In the positive pressure generating step S300, when the positive pressure inside the vacuum cup 100 is equal to or greater than the negative pressure, the controller 220 removes the vacuum cup 100 from the skin of the patient, And may provide the user with the determination result through the input / output unit 300.

If the user desires to continuously generate a vacuum pulse even after the positive pressure generating step S300 is completed, the controller 220 may again instruct the negative pressure generating step S200 to be performed and repeat the above-described process.

7, the positive pressure generating step S300 includes a step S310 of increasing the positive pressure or decreasing the negative pressure, a first comparing step S320 of comparing the positive pressure and the negative pressure in the vacuum cup 100, A step S340 of determining whether the cup 100 is movable or not, a step S340 of reducing the positive pressure or increasing the negative pressure, and a second comparing step S350 of comparing the positive pressure and the negative pressure in the vacuum cup 100 again. .

The positive pressure is applied to the inside of the vacuum cup 100 (S310). If the positive pressure in the vacuum cup 100 is equal to or greater than the negative pressure according to the positive pressure continuously applied, the vacuum cup 100 is in a state in which movement is possible, and the controller 220 controls the vacuum cup 100 to move It is determined that it is possible (S330). At this time, the vacuum cup 100 moves according to a user's instruction. On the other hand, when the vacuum cup 100 is determined to be movable, the controller 220 can inform the user that the vacuum cup can be moved through the input / output unit 300.

When the vacuum cup 100 has completed its movement, the control unit 220 operates the pressure regulator 210 or operates the pump 230 and the compressor 240 simultaneously or simultaneously to reduce the positive pressure inside the vacuum cup 100 (S340). If the positive pressure is greater than the negative pressure, the control unit 220 continuously operates the pressure regulator 210 or operates the pump 230 and the compressor 240 simultaneously or simultaneously Thereby reducing the positive pressure inside the vacuum cup 100 (S340). If the negative pressure is greater than or equal to the positive pressure as a result of comparison between the positive pressure and the negative pressure in the vacuum cup 100, the controller 220 determines that the vacuum cup 100 has been moved, and the positive pressure generating step S300 ends .
