Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an ultrasonic wave generating apparatus for treating a piezoelectric film patch type.
A method of treating a human body with ultrasound generated by an ultrasound generating device and performing treatment and surgery has been widely used.
There has been disclosed a patch-type ultrasonic wave generating device formed of an ultrasonic transducer in which electrodes are formed on both surfaces of a thin piezoelectric polymer film having flexibility, for example. Such a patch type ultrasound generating device can be easily attached to various parts of the skin because it can be easily deformed according to the shape of the skin due to flexibility.
In the conventional patch-type ultrasonic generator, it is difficult to uniformly irradiate ultrasonic waves by using a plurality of piezoelectric ceramics arranged in order to adhere to a complicated skin surface. In addition, the conventional ultrasonic wave generating apparatus using a piezoelectric film generates ultrasonic energy of a low output in the form of an impulse, and is used in a ultrasonic wave generating apparatus for diagnosis which is used for a very short time. However, There is a need for a piezoelectric film patch type ultrasonic wave generating device that can be used as a piezoelectric film. The piezoelectric film patch type therapeutic ultrasound generating apparatus is provided with a housing for fixing the ultrasonic transducer, and the ultrasonic transducer is fixed to the housing to form a single product. Such an ultrasonic wave generating apparatus has a problem that the housing is damaged due to the use of the ultrasonic wave generating apparatus, and the ultrasonic wave generating apparatus can not be used due to the damage of the housing although a relatively expensive ultrasonic wave transducer can operate normally. In addition, when high pulse electric energy is applied to the electrodes formed on both sides of the piezoelectric film, electric short-circuiting may occur between the electrodes. Further, due to generation of high-power ultrasonic waves, relatively more heat is generated, There is a problem that the piezoelectric film ultrasonic transducer may be damaged.
An object of the present invention is to provide an efficient method for generating high output ultrasonic energy in an ultrasonic wave generating device comprising a housing and an ultrasonic transducer, an electric short circuit of a piezoelectric film that can occur when generating high output ultrasonic energy, And to provide a piezoelectric film patch-type therapeutic ultrasound generator capable of easily preventing the temperature rise of the piezoelectric film occurring at the time of the operation of the piezoelectric film, and further facilitating replacement of the housing or the ultrasonic transducer.
The piezoelectric film patch type therapeutic ultrasound generating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing and an ultrasonic transducer attached to the housing and formed of a flexible piezoelectric film. The housing is formed such that at least a part of the rear surface of the ultrasonic transducer is exposed to the outside.
A depression may be formed on the bottom surface of the housing, and the ultrasonic transducer may be positioned on the depression.
The edge of the ultrasonic transducer may be attached to the bottom surface of the depression and attached to the housing.
The ultrasonic transducer may be detachably attached to the housing by a double-sided adhesive tape attached to a bottom surface of the depression.
The ultrasonic transducer may include a flexible piezoelectric film, a pair of electrodes respectively formed on both surfaces of the piezoelectric film, and a pair of electric wires electrically connected to the pair of electrodes, And a wire discharge unit connected to the depression and forming a passage through which the electric wire passes.
The passage may be formed to connect the depression with the upper surface of the housing.
The ultrasonic transducer may further include a pair of insulating films disposed on the outer sides of the pair of electrodes.
A dummy region where the electrode is not formed may be provided at an edge of the piezoelectric film.
The dummy region may have a closed shape along the periphery of the electrode.
The housing may include a through hole for exposing at least a part of a rear surface of the ultrasonic transducer to the outside.
The through hole can be made of a single hole.
The through hole may be formed of a plurality of holes by a mesh structure.
The piezoelectric film patch type therapeutic ultrasound generating apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include an ultrasound gel layer disposed in the depression in a state of being disposed below the ultrasound transducer.
Further, the piezoelectric film patch type therapeutic ultrasound generating apparatus according to another embodiment of the present invention may further include a cover sheet which is detachably attached to the bottom surface of the housing in a state of covering the ultrasound gel layer.
A piezoelectric film patch type ultrasonic generator for treatment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing and an ultrasonic transducer composed of a flexible piezoelectric film and fixed to the housing. The housing is formed to have a space behind the ultrasonic transducer.
The housing may have flexibility, and the housing may include a support disposed in the space and configured to support a rear surface of the ultrasonic transducer.
The ultrasonic transducer may be detachably attached to the housing so as to exchange any one of the housing and the ultrasonic transducer.
According to the present invention, a housing for fixing an ultrasonic transducer in the form of a piezoelectric film patch is formed so as to expose at least a part of the rear surface of the ultrasonic transducer to the outside, so that heat generated when ultrasonic waves with high output for a long time are generated for therapeutic purposes And the energy transmitted to the rear surface of the piezoelectric film can be cut off. Thus, the temperature of the ultrasonic transducer can be prevented from being excessively increased, and the intensity of ultrasonic energy irradiated to the skin can be increased.
Further, since the housing and the ultrasonic transducer are detachably attached to each other and the housing or the ultrasonic transducer can be easily exchanged, only the problem of the housing and the ultrasonic transducer can be removed and the remainder can be recycled.
Further, since the ultrasonic transducer has the dummy region where no electrode is formed on the edge of the piezoelectric film, the electrodes can be prevented from being electrically short-circuited to each other.
