Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a rotating type appa- ratus for transferring hair transplanters,

The present invention relates to a mosquito exchange apparatus capable of automatically feeding a mosquito for hair transplantation used in hair transplantation surgery to a practitioner.

Hair transplantation is one of the hair procedures that allows hair to be taken from the hairy area of the scalp and then transplanted into the scalp (barren patients) of other hair loss areas to have a large amount of hair like an ordinary person.

A number of hair mosquitoes (transplants) are used for hair transplantation. A hair mosquito is a device for transplanting hair from a hairy area of the scalp by planting it in the scalp (barren patient) of another hairy area which has been hairless, and a hair transplanting machine widely used in the past is a device Each having a single hair-forming needle and a mandrel slidably disposed inside the hair-removing needle.

When hair transplantation is performed, hair roots taken from the hair growth area are placed inside the hairpin tip of the hair mosquito, and then the hair is stuck to the scalp so that the hair follicle is left in the scalp to be seated, and the hairpin needle is pulled out. Because the hair roots can be pulled out together, the hair roots are pushed into the scalp with the core axis inside the knot during the removal of the knot.

Conventionally, when a hair-type mosquito is used, a practitioner holds a mosquito by hand and operates the knife with a finger (presses or pulls up) by hand to operate the hairpin and the mandrel. Such a device is disclosed in, for example, Utility Model Registration No. 20-0479077 (Hair is an edible mosquito), and the like.

However, since such a conventional single-handed type mosquito-borne mosquito can not be planted with only one hairy mosquito as a single mosquito, in order to plant a large number of hair roots, a plurality of mosquitoes are prepared, This is a very difficult task that requires manipulation of the operator's finger to operate the flap and the shaft.

In other words, when a conventional hair transplanting machine is used, a practitioner (usually a doctor) who performs a hair transplantation process puts a used mosquito on a separate workbench after finishing a single operation of punching the hair on the scalp and operating the mandrel, You must continue with the above process on the scalp of the recipient with another mosquito. In general, since hair removal is performed more than 1000 times and about 3 hours during hair transplantation, it is necessary to perform a hair transplantation operation requiring a finger manipulation to operate the hair removal needle and the mandrel every time the operation is performed. Fatigue was inevitable.

When hair transplant surgery using a mosquito repellent is performed, an assistant puts a hair follicle on a mosquito repellant and places the hair follicle in a standby position. Then, the practitioner picks up the mosquito and goes to the patient's scalp. Since most hair transplant surgery involves thousands of implants, the practitioner must repeat the process of picking up new mosquitoes on standby for thousands of times.

Such an exchange of mosquitoes leads to an increase in operation time, resulting in various losses such as operation cost, safety of surgery, and surgical effect.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a mosquito replacing apparatus which can assist a practitioner in easily replacing an eating mosquito.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there are three grooves on a circular plate rotated by the main motor, each of which serves as a practitioner use part, a supply part, and a discharge part.

 When the practitioner attaches the empty-type mosquito used after the first molding, the motor rotates about 1/3 times by the contact sensor. Thus, the used mosquito moves to the discharge part. At this time, the upper mosquito is released from the rotating disk by the upper discharge guide plate, and the new mosquito equipped with the hair follicle of the supply part is moved to the use part of the operator, It can be supplied automatically by hand.

Existing floss surgery is performed by the doctors repeatedly several times to replace the mosquito repellant, which increases the operation time. For example, it takes about 1 second for flocking and at least 3 seconds for replacing the mosquito repellant after analyzing the time required for the detailed work.

However, according to the present invention, since the portable mosquito can be automatically transferred to the operator, it is possible to quickly and conveniently perform the replacement time of the mosquito within 1.5 seconds, thereby reducing the operation time. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the concentration of the doctor and reduce the operation cost. In addition, the rate of engraftment of the hair is remarkably increased. Generally, as the elapsed time of the exposure to the outside of the hair is generally longer, the rate of engraftment is remarkably lowered. However, according to the present invention, the rate of engraftment can be increased by shortening the whole procedure time by rapidly supplying and discharging the mosquito.

In addition, during the process of replacing the mosquito repellent, it is effective to prevent an accident that a needle is stuck to a finger of a doctor or an assistant and reduce an anesthetic time, thereby reducing a patient's physical burden.

5, the turntable module 50 and the turntable subassembly module 60 include a rotary motor 64, a turntable 51 connected to a rotary motor, turntable guides 52, 53 and 54, turntable interference structures 61, 62, a sensor 63, and the like.

The rotary plate 51 is connected to the rotary motor 64 and the rotary plate guides 52, 53 and 54 are disposed so as to surround the rotary plate 51. The rotary plate guides 52, 53 and 54 serve to distinguish each of the use part A, the discharge part B and the supply part C and prevent the food mosquitoes from being separated from the rotary plate 51 during rotation.

Referring to Fig. 6, a ball plunger 51a is mounted on the inner surface of the groove of the rotary plate 51 to prevent the concave portion (101 in Fig. It can be replaced with a magnet or a projection or omitted.

The turntable interfering structure 61 of the supply part serves as a guide to completely mount the eating mosquito introduced into the turntable 51 from the supply part during rotation and the turntable interference structure 61 of the discharge part, 51) to be detached from the rotary plate (51) during rotation.

The operation of the rotary plate module 50 and the rotary plate auxiliary module 60 will now be described with reference to FIG. 5, FIG. 7, and FIG.

First, in the discharging operation, when the eating mosquito 100a in which the doctor D is used in FIG. 5 is inserted into the rotating plate in the direction of the arrow shown in the use part A, the sensor 63 senses it and rotates the rotating plate 51 The mosquito 100a is moved to the discharge portion B. 8, and the mosquito 100a is gradually pushed outward by the rotating plate interference structure 61 to be separated from the rotating plate 51. The mosquito 100a separated from the rotary plate 51 can be transferred to the table 10 along the inclined portion 70 after falling on the inclined portion 70 because the inclined portion 70 is located at the lower portion .

As shown in FIG. 9, a separate mosquito ejection guide 71 may be provided so that the mosquito falls down to prevent the needle tip from being damaged when the mosquito falls to the slope. The inclined portion 70 may be formed with a ramp groove 70a to match the shape of a mosquito-like mosquito so that the eating mosquito falls down well.

On the other hand, as an alternative embodiment, the user may directly place the used mosquito 100 in the inclined portion 70, in which case the guides for dispensing may be omitted or the shape may be changed.

As the doctor puts the mosquito 100a on the rotating plate and keeps the hand shape, the mosquito 100b is automatically supplied to the doctor's hand. Hereinafter, the supply operation will be described.

5, when one feeding mosquito 100b is introduced into the groove of the rotary plate 51 while the supply unit C is stopped, the subsequent feeding mosquito 100c is fed to the feeding mosquito 100b It is assumed that one or more eating mosquitoes 100 that are inserted into the third slot 43 by blocking the open end of the third slot 43 are standing by without leaving the open end of the slot.

6, when the rotary plate rotates, the mosquito 100b introduced from the supply portion C is stably mounted on the rotary plate 51 by the upper rotary guide 62, The mosquito 100c which waits in the standby state is released from the rotation of the rotary plate 51 by the inclined path (51b in Fig. 10) of the rotary plate groove. It is a matter of course that the outer diameter portion 51a of the rotary plate 51 stops the eating mosquito 100c. The newly supplied feeding mosquito 100b stops at the use part A and is supplied to the doctor D's hand.

The trigger signal for starting the driving of the rotation motor 64 can be generated in various ways. As described above, when the touch sensor or the proximity sensor 63 senses that the eating mosquito 100a is fitted in the groove of the rotary plate 51 in the use part A, it transmits a sensing signal to the control part (not shown) It is possible to operate the rotation motor 64 under the control of the control unit 70. [ Alternatively, a button or pedal for generating a control signal for driving the motor may be provided close to a doctor's hand or foot. In this case, a control signal may be generated to operate the rotary motor when a mosquito repellent mosquito is attached to the groove of the rotary plate 51 in the use part A and the user pushes the button or the foot pedal by hand, , The trolley module 50 may be operated in various other ways.

In this apparatus, the number of the grooves of the rotary plate may be varied in consideration of ease of use and operational stability. For example, the mosquito introduced from the supply unit may be changed to pass at least one waiting step before going to the use part, or at least one waiting step between the using part and the discharging part, have. In addition, when the feeding and discharging are performed at one position or the feeding mosquitoes are released during the returning from the use portion to the feeding portion, the same operation can be performed with only two grooves.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited by the described embodiments, but should be determined by the scope of the appended claims, as well as the appended claims.
