Description

The technical field to which the utility model relates.

The utility model relates to the field of medicine, more precisely, to radiotherapy (light therapy), and is intended for use in preventive and therapeutic irradiation with light, infrared and ultraviolet rays.

State of the art

A device for prophylactic and therapeutic irradiation, containing an electric arc apparatus with electrodes of ferromanganese alloys. The device is powered by alternating current through a transformer, in the secondary circuit of which the inductor is connected. One of the electrodes is a piece of a ferromanganese alloy, the other is a rod made of a mixture of a ferromanganese alloy with coal (described in USSR author's certificate No. 101672, class A61N 5/06, 1949).

Signs that are common to the known and claimed technical solutions are the presence of a spectrum-forming element (electrode) and an ionization generator of the material of the spectrum-forming element.

The reason that prevents obtaining the required technical result in a known technical solution is the use of an electrode as the only spectrum-forming element. This leads to low radiation efficiency (25%), the inability to control the irradiation spectrum during operation, as well as low environmental performance during operation (large amount of harmful gas emissions, spatter of liquid metal droplets).

The closest technical analogue (prototype) is a device for preventive and therapeutic irradiation, containing a plasmatron with stabilizing and plasma forming nozzles, sources of plasma forming and stabilizing gases supplied to the plasmatron during its operation, two spectroforming elements with axial channels installed in the output channels of the mentioned nozzles a plasma torch, as well as a current source for the formation of a plasma arc of a plasma torch (RF patent No. 2062133, CL A61N 5/06, Bull. No. 17 from 06/20/1996).

Signs that are common to the known and claimed solutions are the presence of a plasma torch with stabilizing and plasma forming nozzles, sources of plasma forming and stabilizing gases supplied to the plasma torch during its operation, two spectrum-forming elements with axial channels installed in the output channels of the mentioned nozzles of the plasma torch, and also a current source for the formation of a plasma arc of a plasma torch.

The reason that prevents obtaining the required technical result in a known technical solution is that a change in the radiation spectrum is possible only when the spectrum-forming element is replaced, and a change in the radiation power is controlled only by the plasma arc current, which increases the heat load on the spectrum-forming element (can lead to its melting )

Utility Model Essence

The problem, which the utility model is aimed at, is to expand the radiation spectrum, provide the ability to control the radiation spectrum during operation, as well as to increase reliability.

The technical result, which mediates the solution of this problem, lies in the possibility of electrical switching of the spectrum-forming elements: the inclusion of spectrum-forming elements in the electric circuit of the plasma arc simultaneously allows you to distribute the arc power into two elements, which increases the resource of their work; the inclusion of spectrum-forming elements in the electrical circuit of the plasma arc in turn makes it possible to cool an element not included in the arc circuit, which increases the reliability of the device. In addition, in the manufacture of spectrum-forming elements from different materials, it becomes possible to periodically change the spectrum and radiation power during operation of the device.

The technical result also consists in the fact that changing the polarity of the connection of the spectrum-forming elements (anode or cathode) allows you to drastically change the spectrum and radiation intensity due to the strong difference between the processes on the cathode electrode and the anode electrode. The introduction of spectrum-forming components into the plasma torch electrode allows you to expand the radiation spectrum of the device. The use of a combination of various gases supplied to the plasma-forming and stabilizing nozzles allows one to additionally change the radiation spectrum and, in addition, change the ion composition of the heat stream, which expands the therapeutic effect of irradiation.

The technical result is achieved in that the device for preventive and therapeutic irradiation contains a plasmatron with a plasma-forming and stabilizing nozzles, sources of plasma-forming and stabilizing gases supplied to the plasma torch during its operation, two spectrum-forming elements with axial channels installed in the output channels of the mentioned nozzles of the plasma torch, source electric current for the formation of a plasma arc of a plasma torch and a switch of spectrum-forming elements connected to a current source and a spectro Braz elements, with spektroobrazuyuschih switching elements in the electric circuit of the plasma arc individually or simultaneously.

The technical result is also achieved by the fact that the device contains a polarity switch connected to a current source, spectrum-forming elements and a plasma torch electrode, and this switch is configured to turn on the spectrum-forming elements so that these elements can be anodes or cathodes of the plasma arc or alternately change the polarity.

A technical result is also achieved by the fact that the plasma torch electrode contains spectrum-forming components.

The technical result is also achieved in that the plasma-forming and stabilizing gases vary in composition.

New features of the claimed technical solution are the presence of a switch of spectrum-forming elements connected to a current source and spectrum-forming elements with the possibility of including spectrum-forming elements in the electric circuit of the plasma arc individually or simultaneously.

New features also include the presence of a polarity switch connected to a current source, spectrum-forming elements and a plasma torch electrode, while this switch is configured to turn on the spectrum-forming elements so that these elements can be anodes or cathodes of the plasma arc or alternately change the polarity. In addition, the plasma torch electrode contains spectrum-forming components, and the plasma-forming and stabilizing gases differ in composition.

The supply of plasma-forming and stabilizing gases is turned on, the power source of the plasma arc 9 is turned on, and the electric arc between the electrode 1 and the plasma-forming 2 or stabilizing 3 nozzles is ignited, the spectrum-forming elements 4 and 5 are installed, which are installed in the plasma-forming 2 and stabilizing 3 nozzles, respectively. The plasma arc can burn between the electrode 1 and the spectrum-forming elements 4 and 5 simultaneously or alternately, the arc burning is controlled by the switch 10. If necessary, the polarity of the connection of the electrode 1 and nozzles 2 and 3 can be changed using the switch 11. The composition of the plasma-forming and stabilizing gases may differ.
