However, surgical operations should be undertaken to replace batteries after a certain lapse of time due to limited lifespan of the batteries. The present invention relates to a method for producing electric energy in human body, and a device therefor. According to the present invention, there is no need to carry out surgical operations to replace the batteries.

본 발명은 인체 내부에서 전기에너지를 생성하는 방법 및 장치에 대한 발명이다.
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for generating electrical energy in a human body.

본 발명을 구현하기 위해서는 다음과 같은 방법으로 에너지를 생성한다.
In order to implement the present invention, energy is generated in the following manner.

첫째, 운동에너지를 전기에너지로 변환한다.First, it converts kinetic energy into electrical energy.

우리 신체는 많은 운동을 하고, 이 때에 근육의 이완과 수축되면서 진동, 팽창과 수축 등 다양한 운동에너지가 발생한다.Our body performs a lot of exercise, and at this time, muscle relaxes and contracts, and various kinetic energy such as vibration, expansion and contraction occurs.

운동에너지를 전기에너지로 변환하는 장치를 이런 부위에 부착하여 전기에너지를 생성한다.
Devices that convert kinetic energy into electrical energy are attached to these sites to generate electrical energy.

우리 신체 내부에 있는 심장, 위, 대장, 소장 등 많은 기관들은 운동을 한다.Many organs in our body, such as the heart, stomach, colon, small intestine, exercise.

운동에너지를 전기에너지로 변환하는 장치를 이런 기관에 부착하여 전기에너지를 생성한다.Devices that convert kinetic energy into electrical energy are attached to these organs to generate electrical energy.

이 방법은 환자가 별도의 동작을 하지 않아도 지속적으로 전기에너지가 생성된다.
In this method, electric energy is continuously generated even if the patient does not perform any other operation.

걸음을 걷거나 손을 쥐었다 폈다 하는 동작을 하면 신체 내부에서 근육이 움직이면서 운동에너지가 발생한다.When you walk, walk or stretch your hands, kinetic energy is generated as the muscles move inside your body.

운동에너지를 전기에너지로 변환하는 장치를 신체 내부의 이런 부위에 부착하여 환자가 움직일 때마다 전기에너지를 생성한다.
A device that converts kinetic energy into electrical energy is attached to these areas inside the body to generate electrical energy whenever the patient moves.

둘째, 압력에너지를 전기에너지로 변환한다.Second, it converts pressure energy into electrical energy.

압력을 가하면 전기에너지로 변환하는 압전소자가 있다.There is a piezoelectric element which converts into electric energy when pressure is applied.

압전소자를 피부 얕은 곳에 삽입하고, 수시로 의도적으로 손가락 등을 이용하여 압전소자 삽입 부위를 눌러 전기에너지를 생성한다.
A piezoelectric element is inserted into a shallow portion of the skin, and electric energy is generated by pressing the piezoelectric element insertion portion intentionally using a finger or the like at any time.

셋째, 자기장에너지를 전기에너지로 변환한다.Third, the magnetic field energy is converted into electric energy.

자기장을 전기에너지로 변환하는 장치를 피부 얕은 곳에 삽입하고, 의도적으로 자기장을 생성하는 장치를 변환장치 삽입 부위 근처에 접근시켜 전기에너지를 생성한다.
A device for converting a magnetic field into electrical energy is inserted into the skin at a shallow location, and a device for intentionally generating a magnetic field is brought near the transducer insertion site to generate electrical energy.

넷째, 직접 충전 장치에 접촉하여 충전할 수 있다.Fourth, the battery can be charged by contacting the direct charging device.

피부 얕은 곳에 충전 장치를 삽입하고, 주기적으로 또는 필요 시에 피부를 관통하여 해당 장치에 전극을 꽂고 충전한다.Insert the filling device into the skin shallow, periodically or if necessary, penetrate the skin and plug the electrode into the device.

물론 충전이 끝난 후 관통 부위를 소독하거나 치료해야 하지만 수술처럼 절개할 필요가 없기 때문에 시술이 간단하고, 회복도 빠르다.
Of course, after the filling is done, the puncture site should be disinfected or treated, but because there is no need to open the incision like surgery, the procedure is simple and the recovery is fast.

이런 장치들에서 생성되는 전기에너지는 불규칙하므로 배터리로 전송하여 배터리를 충전하고, 배터리에서 규칙적인 전류를 심박기로 전송한다.
The electrical energy generated by these devices is irregular, so they are sent to the battery to charge the battery, and the battery sends a regular current to the heartbeat.

본 발명에 의하면 배터리를 교체하기 위해 재수술을 할 필요가 없어진다.
According to the present invention, there is no need to perform re-operation in order to replace the battery.

이상은 본 발명의 한 실시 예에 불과하며, 발명의 범위 내에서 다양한 변조 및 개조가 가능하다.
The foregoing is merely illustrative of the present invention and various modifications and alterations are possible within the scope of the invention.

아울러 심박기를 예로 들어 설명하였지만 인체 내부에 삽입하고 전원을 공급해야 하는 모든 장치에 적용이 가능하다.
In addition, although the heartbeat is described as an example, it is applicable to all devices that are inserted into the human body and supply power.

또한 인체 뿐만 아니라 동물에도 적용이 가능하다.
It is also applicable to animals as well as humans.
