It relates to an automatic drive system for hair transplanters capable of automatic control.

Scalp hair (hair) is one of the most important elements when expressing a person's appearance, and the number of hairs may decrease due to a barren area gradually increasing with age or scars on the scalp due to alopecia or surgery.

As a method for treating these diseases, a treatment method by drugs and a treatment method by surgery are currently used.

A typical example of the drug treatment method is a method of applying a specific drug such as a hair growth agent or taking a specific drug that inhibits hormones that affect hair loss.

The topical drug is applied to the infertile area or hair loss area at a certain time of day about twice a day, but is reported to be sticky and shows a low effect of about 5%, while being very expensive, and furthermore, if not used continuously, the effect is reduced. There are problems you can't see.

On the other hand, the above-mentioned drug has a relatively high effect on the hair growth agent, but it must also be taken every day and has large side effects.

For example, in the case of men, sexual dysfunction has been reported in about 3 to 15% of patients taking the drug, and in the case of women, it cannot be used.

Therefore, as a more fundamental method, a surgical treatment method in which some hairs from one's own scalp are harvested up to their hair follicles and directly transplanted into an infertile area is widely used.

That is, it is a method of making the appearance more beautiful by allowing hair in an area without hair loss symptoms (hereinafter referred to as a 'hair growth area') to grow in an infertile area.

Briefly explaining the conventional process of such transplant surgery, first, the hair of the patient who wants the surgery is cut short, and the skin of the hair growth area is cut to a size of about 1 cm in width and 10 cm in length as the hair follicle skin for transplantation, and then incision is made at the donor site. The wound is pulled and sutured, and a certain amount of each hair follicle is collected and separated from the cut hair follicle skin for transplantation.

Then, a step of drilling pores in a specific barren area and planting the collected hair follicles therein is performed.

At this time, in the hair follicle transplant device, a needle is movably inserted into the cylindrical body in the axial direction of the body, and a staff in the form of a long rod is inserted inside the needle. It plays a role in anchoring hair follicles within the scalp tissue.

Therefore, hair follicle transplantation is carried out in such a way that, after positioning a hair follicle in an incision formed at the end of a needle, inserting a needle into the scalp, moving only the needle into the cylindrical body, the hair follicle is separated from the needle by the end of the staff and transplanted into the scalp.

In this way, after the hair transplanter 100 is mounted on the hand piece 200, the hair transplanter 100 is placed on the reference surface, which is a specific area such as the scalp to which the operator wants to transplant hair follicles, as shown in FIG. 8(a). , and the hair follicles are manually or automatically placed in the hole 120h of the hair transplant needle 120 (shown in FIG. 6). At this time, the hair transplant needle 120 is located so as to come into contact with the reference surface, which is the initial position, and the tip of the mandrel 140 or the body 110 is also located at a point away from the reference surface, which is the initial position, by a predetermined length, and the mounting part 230 The rear end of is also located at the rear end of the rotating shaft 220, which is the initial position.

Thereafter, when the operator presses the drive button 260, as shown in FIG. The rear end of ) moves forward by a predetermined length along the rotation shaft 220 and is positioned at the front end of the rotation shaft 220.

Therefore, since the mounting part 230 is engaged with the handle 160, as the handle 160 advances by a predetermined length, the hair transplant needle 120 also advances by a predetermined length from the reference surface. At this time, the hair transplant needle 120 pokes a hole in the implantation site so that the hair follicle can be seated.

Meanwhile, since no pressure is applied to the pressing operation part 190 until the locking protrusions 240 are engaged with the locking groove 191, the pressing operation part 190 is also constant like the handle 160. advance as long as Accordingly, as the push control unit 190 advances by a predetermined length, the mandrel 140 and the tip of the body 110, which behave like the push control unit 190, advance by a predetermined length and are located on the reference plane. Of course, when the front end of the mandrel 140 or the body 110 comes into contact with the reference surface, the locking protrusions 240 are seated in the locking groove 191.

Thereafter, when the operator presses the driving button 260 again, as shown in FIG. 230) is retracted by a predetermined length along the rotating shaft 220 to be located at the rear end of the rotating shaft 220, which is the initial position. At this time, since the locking protrusions 240 are engaged with the locking grooves 191, they serve to fix the pressing operation unit 190 to the position of the locking protrusions 240.

Therefore, as the pressing operation unit 190 maintains a fixed position, the front end of the mandrel 140 or the body 110 is also located on the reference plane. On the other hand, since the mounting part 230 is engaged with the handle 160, as the handle 160 retreats by a predetermined length, the hair transplant needle 120 also retreats by a predetermined length and is located on the reference surface. Of course, since the handle 160 is retracted while the pressing operation unit 190 remains fixed, the mandrel 140 is located on the reference surface as it is, but the hair transplant needle 120 is the spring (S: As shown in FIG. 5), while compressing, it retreats to the reference surface and at the same time comes out of the puncture site. At this time, the mandrel 140 pushes the hair follicle placed on the hair transplant needle 120, and allows the hair follicle to be transplanted to the transplantation site.

Thereafter, when the operator presses the lock release button 270, the lock protrusions 240 are released from the lock groove 191 as shown in FIG. 8 (d), and the spring (S: shown in FIG. 5) The pressing operation unit 190 is retracted by a predetermined length by the restoring force of (shown). At this time, the mandrel 140 and the body 110, which behave like the pressing control unit 190, retreat from the reference surface by a predetermined length and are restored to their initial positions. Of course, the hair transplant needle 120 is located on the initial position of the reference surface.

If the above process is repeated while changing the transplantation site, an easy, fast and accurate transplantation procedure can be performed.

As described above, according to the automatic drive system of the hair transplanter capable of automatic control according to the present invention, damage to biological tissue can be minimized by maintaining a constant condition when a needle pierces a hole for transplanting a hair follicle, and through a display The speed and condition can be checked visually, so the operator can easily check the settings, and there is an effect of extracting or transplanting hair follicles with one device.

As described above, the present invention has been described with a focus on preferred embodiments, but those skilled in the art can make the present invention various within the range that does not deviate from the technical spirit and scope described in the claims of the present invention. It can be implemented by modifying or transforming accordingly. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be construed by the claims which are written to include examples of these many variations.
