LT6759B - Device for the acoustic waves action on the human body organs - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to an acoustic wave emitting device which can be used for the therapy of the human body, in particular for improving the functions of the circulatory and spinal systems. The possibilities of using the device for the influence of human body organs with acoustic waves for human body therapy are extended by locally concentrating the energy of acoustic pulsations of vibrators excited by electric generators (3). Acoustic vibrators mounted on a special stand (2) can be mechanically adjusted so that the acoustic pulsations are directed locally to the intended therapy site, such as individual vertebrae or intervertebral discs.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The device provided in the description belongs to the field of medicine and can be used to improve the functions of the human circulatory system and the spinal system by using acoustic waves.

State of the art

Patent document US2008 / 0195007 (A1) (published on 14-08-2008) describes an acoustic vibration device and methods of its therapeutic application, the device operating when acoustic vibrations are transmitted by one or more acoustic transducers directly in contact with human skin, the frequency can be from 1Hz to 1500 Hz and the amplitude from 20 pm to 5000 pm. In a given device, the vibrations emitted by acoustic transducers in contact with human skin transmit acoustic energy directly to the organs in the area, which prevents the isolation of the therapeutic effect on a particular organ, and such a method requires a sufficiently high energy consumption. The patent describes the possibilities of therapy of various diseases and disorders using the described device, as well as the possible effects on the human spinal system and the frequencies and amplitudes of modulated oscillations recommended for such therapy.

U.S. Pat. No. 5,138,552 (A) (published May 19, 1992) describes a procedure and apparatus for transmitting vibrations to the human body using vibrators. the device is designed for relaxation and therapeutic effect. The vibrators are built into a stationary chair and during contact with the human body act on the human body with high intensity pulses. The device consists of at least two vibrators arranged side by side in a single line and generating mechanical vibrations. The oscillations emitted by each vibrator are modulated in amplitude and, in certain applications, and in frequency, and their phase is different. This results in a pulsating wave that acts on a narrow and constant depth of the human body area.

With the devices referred to in the above-mentioned and similar patents, acoustic vibrations are transmitted to the human body continuously, acting on a constant area and depth of the body area, i. there is no possibility to concentrate the effects of acoustic vibrations on the desired location of the human body locally, making them less effective.

In the acoustic wave device for human organs presented in this application, acoustic vibrators are arranged and excited so that the harmonic oscillations they emit at different frequencies sum together at a single point in space to produce a wave of pulsating amplitude with a frequency equal to the oscillation frequency.

This application describes the device, not only solves the disadvantages of the above devices, but also simplifies the generation and control of pulsations.

The essence of the invention

The object of the invention is to increase the efficiency of the acoustic effect of vibrations on a designated area of the human body in order to expand the functionality and practical use of acoustic devices currently used for the therapy of organs of the human body.

The device can be used not only to improve human blood circulation, but also for human spinal system therapy: to enhance the nutritional process of intervertebral discs and increase spinal density by configuring the device so that acoustic vibrators are positioned and excited so that harmonic oscillations of different frequencies are summed in a specific space. point and a wave of pulsating amplitude is obtained.

Detailed description of the invention

Fig. 1 shows a diagram of a device for the exposure of the human body (4) to acoustic waves, consisting of acoustic vibrators (1) mounted on a special stand (2) and excited by electric generators (3). The vibrators (1) mounted on the stands (2) can be adjusted, i. change their position so that directional acoustic vibrations of different frequencies are emitted in focus! at a certain point in space, depending on the local location of the organ of the human body to be affected.

Figure 2 shows the total acoustic signal of acoustic vibrators (1) excited by electric generators (3), which affects the desired local areas of the human body organ.

By acting on organs of the human body (4), e.g. spine, the acoustic vibrators (1) excited by the electric generators (3) of the device by acoustic waves emit harmonic and directional oscillations of different frequencies (depending on the organ to be affected) directed to a certain point in space, e.g. the local location of the spine at that point generates a pulsation of pulsating amplitude whose pulsation frequency is equal to the difference in the oscillation frequencies of its constituents, and the oscillation frequency of the pulsating amplitude is equal to the average of the oscillation frequencies directed to a particular point (Fig.2). Acoustic vibrators mounted on a special stand (2) can be adjusted mechanically, i. change their position so that the emitted acoustic vibrations are focused! at a certain point in space, depending on the local location of the organ of the human body to be affected. In this way, they are regulated so that the oscillations of different frequencies they emit are directed to the intended therapeutic site (e.g., the spine), where their sum generates a oscillation of a pulsating amplitude with a pulsation frequency equal to the difference in the oscillation frequencies. This arrangement and excitation of acoustic vibrators simplifies the generation and control of pulsating amplitude oscillations, and only affects the local damaged location of the human body organ and reduces the impact on other areas of the human body.

Compared to its closest analogue, this new acoustic wave device for the human body can also be adapted for the therapy of the human spinal system: to enhance the nutritional process of intervertebral discs or to thicken the vertebral tissue.
