Description

Wearable dual ultrasound probe device for oriental acupuncture treatment {WEARABLE DUAL ACOUSTIC PROBE DEVICE FOR MINISCAPEL NEEDLE-TREATMENT OF ORIENTAL MEDICAL}

The present invention relates to a wearable dual ultrasound probe device for oriental acupuncture treatment, and more particularly, to guide and confirm accurate skin insertion of acupuncture needles in oriental medicine acupuncture treatment, to promote more reliable and effective treatment, and to be configured in a wearable form to improve usability and further relates to a dual ultrasound probe device for acupuncture treatment of oriental medicine that can be usefully used in acupuncture treatment education.

In general, an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus detects an echo signal, displays a tomogram of tissue in a living body, etc. on a monitor, and provides information necessary for diagnosing an object.

Compared with other imaging devices such as X-ray diagnostic devices, X-ray CT scanners (Computerized Tomography Scanner), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Image), and nuclear medicine diagnostic devices, ultrasound diagnostic devices are compact, inexpensive, and can be displayed in real time. It has the advantage of high safety because there is no exposure to radiation.

An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes an ultrasound probe for transmitting ultrasound into an object and receiving an echo signal from within the object. In addition, the ultrasonic probe is mounted therein and includes a piezoelectric part for mutually converting an ultrasonic signal and an electrical signal. In general, the piezoelectric part includes an aggregate of a plurality of piezoelectric elements.

Accordingly, the ultrasound diagnosis apparatus having these components irradiates an ultrasound wave onto an object, converts the echo signal of the reflected ultrasound into an electrical signal, transmits it to the image processing device, and then generates an image through the signal transmitted from the image processing device. create

The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus using such an ultrasound probe is usefully used for medical purposes, such as detecting foreign substances in living things, measuring the degree of injury, observing a tumor, and observing a fetus through the above process.

On the other hand, among the procedures widely performed in oriental medicine, there is acupuncture treatment.

Dochim (刀鍼) is also called acupuncture, and is used to relieve pain caused by soft tissue damage by surgically removing, incising, or cutting the soft tissue in oriental medicine.

The dual ultrasound probe device for oriental acupuncture treatment according to the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 6 , largely includes a body member 100 and an ultrasound generating module 200 .

Specifically, the dual ultrasound probe device for oriental acupuncture treatment according to the present invention includes a body member 100 in which a finger insertion part 101 capable of inserting a finger is formed; and an ultrasonic wave generating module 200 provided on one side of the body member 100 .

The body member 100 is made of, for example, a resin material or a rubber material, and may be formed in the form of a thimble.

More specifically, the body member 100 has a circular cross-section or a polygonal cross-section, and is formed in a columnar shape of a predetermined length, and a finger insertion hole or a finger insertion groove through which a finger can be inserted is formed.

Here, the finger fitting portion 101 of the body member 100 has a circular cross-sectional shape including an oval.

More preferably, the finger fitting portion 101 of the body member 100 is preferably formed in a semicircle or dome shape.

In this way, when the finger fitting portion 101 is formed in a semicircle or dome shape, an ultrasonic wave generating module 200 to be described below is provided in a relatively thick portion, and a finger is inserted into the finger fitting portion 101 . direction can be determined.

In addition, the body member 100 may be configured to be separated into two parts to maintain a stable fitting state according to the size of the user's finger.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the body member 100 is formed in the form of a cover part 111 formed to be opened on one side or both sides open, and a semi-circular column shape and provided with the ultrasonic wave generating module 200 on one side, and a body part 112 inserted and fixed to the cover part 111 .

The cover part 111 is preferably made of a stretchable material such as silicone or rubber.

The main body 112 is preferably formed so that the upper surface is rounded and recessed for stable seating of the fingers.

In the main body member 100 of one embodiment configured as described above, a space is formed between the cover part 111 and the body part 112, and this space is formed by the finger fitting part 101 into which the user's finger is inserted. do.

At this time, the body member 100 is inserted into the cover part 111 to fit the size (thickness) of the finger when the user inserts a finger into the finger fitting part 101, and the body part 112 is formed to be rounded. so that it is stably seated on the upper surface of the

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5 , the body member 100 is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape and has a body portion 121 having the ultrasonic wave generating module 200 on one side thereof, and is formed in the semi-cylindrical shape of the main body. It is detachably coupled to the portion 121 and is configured to include a plurality of cover portions 122 having different sizes.

For example, the broadband ultrasonic sensor module 210 may include a transducer configured to generate an ultrasonic signal and transmit the ultrasonic signal to the outside, and to contact the contact object so that the ultrasonic wave generated by the transducer is transmitted to the contact object. It is configured to include a lens provided on one side of the body member (100).

In this case, the transducer is configured to include a piezoelectric layer positioned adjacent to the lens and provided to generate an ultrasonic signal.

In other words, the ultrasonic wave generating module 200 may be configured with a transducer including a piezoelectric layer for generating an ultrasonic signal and a lens adjacent to the piezoelectric layer to transmit the ultrasonic signal to the outside.

As described above, the dual ultrasound probe device for oriental acupuncture treatment according to the present invention is in close contact with the acupuncture treatment area while the ultrasound probe device of the present invention is inserted between the thumb and index finger of one hand, as shown in FIG. 6 . to generate ultrasound, and the generated ultrasound signal is transmitted to the body of the ultrasound diagnosis apparatus (ultrasonic imaging apparatus) through a signal cable connected to the connection port 220 of the body member 100 to detect the echo signal and enter the body It becomes possible to perform acupuncture while displaying a tomographic image of tissue and the like on a monitor.

At this time, since the ultrasound probe device is in a state of being sandwiched between two fingers, it is possible to easily capture a screen of a desired angle for the treatment area by intuitively adjusting the angle of the fingers. It is possible to more easily and clearly acquire an ultrasound image of the internal organs, etc.).

According to the dual ultrasound probe device for oriental acupuncture treatment according to the present invention as described above, it is possible to guide and confirm the precise insertion and position of the acupuncture treatment site, thereby promoting improved treatment and effective treatment, It is possible to improve usability by configuring it in a wearable form, and there is an advantage in that the operation can be further improved by allowing the operation site (the area to be treated) to be checked from multiple angles.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to ensure an accurate operation by ensuring that there is no space formed between the affected area and the affected area to be treated, and there is an advantage that it can be usefully used for teaching acupuncture for unskilled people.
