Description
本發明是有關於一種超音波針灸裝置。The invention relates to an ultrasonic acupuncture device.
針灸為中國傳統的一種治療方式。藉由針刺與艾灸等方式對特定穴位進行刺激,可以對部份疾病產生良好的治療效果,例如動暈症。動暈症屬於平衡系統失調。人體內負責平衡的系統包括眼睛、內耳等。當乘坐交通工具時,交通工具的旋轉或轉彎、汽車啟動或加減速剎車、船舶晃動或顛簸,可能會使視覺與內耳的平衡機制產生混亂,而出現噁心嘔吐,例如暈車、暈機、暈船等症狀。此外,使用虛擬實境(Virtual Reality,VR)或擴增實境(Augmented Reality,AR)時,有可能會引發暈眩等症狀。Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese treatment method. Stimulating specific acupoints through acupuncture and moxibustion can produce good therapeutic effects on some diseases, such as motion sickness. Motion sickness is an imbalance of the balance system. The systems responsible for balance in the human body include the eyes, inner ear, etc. When riding a vehicle, the rotation or turning of the vehicle, the starting or deceleration of the car, the rocking or bumping of the ship may cause confusion in the balance mechanism of the vision and the inner ear, resulting in nausea and vomiting, such as motion sickness, airsickness, seasickness and other symptoms. . In addition, using virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) may cause symptoms such as dizziness.
據統計,全球約有25~30%的人曾患上動暈症,其中2-12歲的兒童是最容易有動暈症的族群。另一方面,成年女性患動暈症的機率比男性高,特別是處在經期之間或懷孕的女士。此外,偏頭痛、內耳神經、中樞神經系統不協調的患者都是患動暈症的高危人士。另外,精神狀況不佳、睡眠不足、宿醉的人士都會較容易出現動暈症。According to statistics, about 25-30% of the world's population has suffered from motion sickness, and children aged 2-12 are the most vulnerable group to suffer from motion sickness. On the other hand, adult women are more likely to suffer from motion sickness than men, especially those who are between menstruation or pregnant. In addition, patients with migraines, inner ear nerves, and central nervous system imbalances are at high risk for motion sickness. In addition, people who are in poor mental condition, lack sleep, or have a hangover are more likely to suffer from motion sickness.
目前對動暈症的治療方式約略可以分為化學方式與物理方式。化學方式包括在乘坐交通工具前30-60分鐘前服用藥物以降低內耳前庭的敏感度,同時使中樞神經止吐。但是使用藥物有可能導致副作用,例如暈車藥是自律神經中副交感神經的阻斷劑,會造成乙醯膽鹼的傳遞降低,吃完暈車藥可能會有嗜睡、口乾、視野模糊、小便困難、便秘及可能產生心悸等副作用。而物理方式則包括在出發乘坐交通工具的4小時前使用止暈貼片,或是使用中醫壓穴法、止暈手環…等方法。但是一般而言,動暈症目前沒有得到有效的疏解。The current treatment methods for motion sickness can be roughly divided into chemical methods and physical methods. Chemical methods include taking drugs 30-60 minutes before taking transportation to reduce the sensitivity of the vestibule of the inner ear and simultaneously antiemetic the central nervous system. However, the use of drugs may cause side effects. For example, motion sickness drugs are blockers of parasympathetic nerves in the autonomic nervous system, which will reduce the transmission of acetylcholine. After taking motion sickness drugs, you may experience drowsiness, dry mouth, blurred vision, difficulty urinating, Constipation and possible side effects such as heart palpitations. Physical methods include using
中醫的針灸被認為是治療動暈症的一種有效方法。但是針灸也具有一些缺點。例如針刺時會對患者產生強刺激、創痛。而針刺時會刺破皮膚,容易造成感染。而針灸的刺法的技術難度也導致不易複製針刺的效果。此外,艾灸治療過程中伴隨的煙霧,與不當使用,容易使皮膚留下瘡疤,並造成空氣的污濁與患者永久疤痕。Acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine is considered an effective method for treating motion sickness. But acupuncture also has some disadvantages. For example, acupuncture will cause strong stimulation and trauma to the patient. Acupuncture will pierce the skin and easily cause infection. The technical difficulty of acupuncture also makes it difficult to replicate the effects of acupuncture. In addition, the smoke accompanying moxibustion treatment and improper use can easily leave scars on the skin, causing air pollution and permanent scarring for the patient.

圖1是根據本發明的一些實施例的一種超音波針灸裝置的示意圖。如圖1所示,超音波針灸裝置100包括超音波源110、液態透鏡130A與電極130B。超音波針灸裝置100更包括控制器160與電源170,其中控制器160包括超音波源控制器162、紅外線源控制器164與液態透鏡控制器166。Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an ultrasonic acupuncture device according to some embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 1, the
超音波源110與超音波源控制器162電性連接。超音波源110藉由快速振動以產生超音波,並以脈衝形式發射超音波。超音波源控制器162產生多個超音波源電壓脈衝,以控制所述超音波源110產生的所述超音波的振動頻率、振動強度與脈衝長度,並使超音波源110以脈衝形式發射超音波,以對特定穴位產生類似針灸的效果。根據所選擇的模式,超音波源控制器162對超音波源110輸入特定強度的脈衝電壓,以使超音波源110產生特定振動頻率與強度的超音波,並使超音波源110以脈衝形式發射超音波。根據一些實施例,超音波源110可為壓電片,其中壓電片的材料包括含有鈦酸鋇(BaTiO
3)、鈦酸鉛(PbTiO
3)和鋯鈦酸鉛(Pb(ZrTi)O
3, PZT)的壓電陶瓷材料,或其他具有類似性質者,本公開並不以此為限。根據一些實施例,超音波源110可產生振動頻率為1-3MHz,功率範圍為100-300 mW的超音波,但並不以此為限。根據一些實施例,超音波源110所產生的超音波,所輸出的功率優選為230mW。根據一些實施例,超音波源110所產生的超音波脈衝的脈衝長度範圍為0.5-10秒,脈衝間隔範圍為1-30秒,但並不以此為限。根據一些實施例,超音波源110面對液態透鏡130A的表面110S可為平面或曲面,本公開並不以此為限。當表面110S為平面時,超音波源110所產生的超音波由液態透鏡130A進行聚焦,以對特定穴位產生針灸般的刺激。當表面110S為曲面時,可用以聚焦由超音波源110所產生的超音波。根據一些實施例,液態透鏡130A所聚焦的超音波,聚焦後的超音波的光斑的直徑小於0.5mm,進而對特定穴位產生針灸般的刺激。
The
由超音波源110產生的超音波經由液態透鏡130A聚焦於焦點150上。在本實施例中,液態透鏡130A為凸透鏡。凸透鏡是中央較厚,邊緣較薄的透鏡,分為雙凸、平凸和凹凸等形式。凸透鏡有匯聚光線(能量)的作用,因此又稱匯聚透鏡。在本實施例中,液態透鏡130A為平凸透鏡。根據另一些實施例,液態透鏡130A也可以是雙凸透鏡,本公開並不以此為限。The ultrasonic waves generated by the
液態透鏡控制器166電性連接液態透鏡130A。液態透鏡控制器166產生多個液態透鏡電壓脈衝並藉由電極130B輸入至液態透鏡130A,以改變液態透鏡130A的形狀並控制液態透鏡130A的焦距,以將超音波聚焦於特定位置,以產生類似插針或提針的效果。根據一些實施例,超音波源控制器162所產生的多個超音波源電壓脈衝與液態透鏡控制器166所產生的多個液態透鏡電壓脈衝互相對準(將於圖5、圖6中說明)。根據一些實施例,液態透鏡130A為一個或多個液態透鏡,或其他可改變焦距的透鏡,本公開並不以此為限。The
根據一些實施例,如圖1所示,超音波針灸裝置100更包括紅外線源120與紅外線源控制器164。紅外線源120與紅外線源控制器164電性連結。紅外線源120位於超音波源110背對液態透鏡130A的一側。為了使紅外線源120所產生的遠紅外線可以穿透超音波源110,超音波源110上開有孔洞112以使紅外線源120所發出的遠紅外線得以通過。根據另一些實施例,紅外線源120也可位於超音波源110與液態透鏡130A之間。當紅外線源120位於超音波源110與液態透鏡130A之間時,紅外線源120會遮蔽部份由超音波源110所產生的超音波,因此超音波源110需調整超音波發射功率,以使特定穴位能夠接受到足夠的超音波能量。According to some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1 , the
紅外線源控制器164產生多個紅外線源電壓脈衝,以控制紅外線源120所產生的遠紅外線的能量與脈衝長度。紅外線源120所產生的遠紅外線藉由液態透鏡130A聚焦,以對特定穴位加熱,以產生艾灸般的刺激。根據一些實施例,紅外線源控制器164的多個紅外線源電壓脈衝與液態透鏡控制器166所產生的所述多個液態透鏡電壓脈衝互相對準。根據一些實施例,紅外線源120可為發光二極體,或其他可以產生遠紅外線的元件,本公開並不以此為限。根據一些實施例,紅外線源120所產生的遠紅外線的波長範圍為8-14μm,但並不以此為限。The
電源170分別與超音波源控制器162、紅外線源控制器164及液態透鏡控制器166電性相連,用以對超音波源控制器162、紅外線源控制器164及液態透鏡控制器166分別提供控制電壓,以分別控制超音波源110、紅外線120及液態透鏡130A。The
圖2A至圖2D是根據本發明的一些實施例的液態透鏡的示意圖。如圖1所示,液態透鏡130A可以藉由電極130B外加電壓形成電場而改變透鏡的焦距,以對由超音波源110所產生的超音波或由紅外線源120所產生的遠紅外線進行聚焦。在圖2A至圖2C中,隨著電極130B通過不同電壓,液態透鏡130A可以產生不同的形變,而使液態透鏡130A具有不同的焦距。例如在圖2A中,電極130B通過液態透鏡130A的電壓較小,此時液態透鏡130A具有較小的厚度,這時液態透鏡130A則具有較長的焦距f1。當通過電極130B的電壓逐漸增加,液態透鏡130A的厚度逐漸增加,液態透鏡130A的焦距也逐漸減小,如圖2B的焦距f2與圖2C的焦距f3所示。因此,如圖2D所示,藉由對液態透鏡130A通過不同的電壓,可以改變液態透鏡130A的焦距f,焦距f沿一直線排列變化(圖上黑點為焦點),使得穿透液態透鏡130A的超音波或遠紅外線可以聚焦於特定位置,並可沿一直線方向聚焦。2A-2D are schematic diagrams of liquid lenses according to some embodiments of the invention. As shown in FIG. 1 , the
圖3是根據本發明的一些實施例的一種液態透鏡的示意圖。如圖3所示,液態透鏡132為圖1中的液態透鏡130A與電極130B的一種實施例。液態透鏡132包括電極132A與電極132B,其中超音波或遠紅外線由電極132B進入液態透鏡132。Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a liquid lens according to some embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 3 , the
液態透鏡132更包括透鏡液132C與封裝液132D。透鏡液132C與封裝液132D為兩種不相溶的液體。根據一些實施例,透鏡液132C可為油,而封裝液132D可為水。透鏡液132C與封裝液132D位於電極132A與電極132B之間,且封裝液包圍覆蓋透鏡液132C。液態透鏡132更包括絕緣層132E,用以使透鏡液132C與電極132A相互絕緣。The
當電極132A與電極132B通電時,所產生的電場會改變透鏡液132C的厚度,進而改變液態透鏡132的焦距,使超音波或遠紅外線可以依需求聚焦於特定位置。When the
圖4A與圖4B是根據本發明的一些實施例的另一種液態透鏡的示意圖。如圖4A所示,液態透鏡134為圖1中的液態透鏡130A與電極130B的一種實施例。液態透鏡134包括視窗134A與視窗134B。根據一些實施例,視窗134A與視窗134B為玻璃片,或其他可使超音波或遠紅外線穿透的透明材質,本公開並不以此為限。液態透鏡134更包括透鏡液134E與封裝液134F。透鏡液134E與封裝液134F位於視窗134A與視窗134B之間。透鏡液134E與封裝液134F為兩種不相溶的液體。根據一些實施例,透鏡液134E可為油,而封裝液134F可為水,但並不以此為限。電極134C與電極134D位於透鏡液134E/封裝液134F與視窗134A之間,且覆蓋有絕緣層134G,用以與透鏡液134E/封裝液134F絕緣。4A and 4B are schematic diagrams of another liquid lens according to some embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4A , the
當電極134C與電極134D通電時,所產生的電場134H(如圖4A所示)或電場134I(如圖4B所示)會改變透鏡液134E的厚度,進而改變液態透鏡134的焦距,使超音波或遠紅外線可以依需求聚焦於特定位置。When electrode 134C and
圖5是根據本發明的一些實施例的液態透鏡電壓與超音波源電壓的時序圖。由於如圖1所示的超音波針灸裝置100是使用超音波來模擬針灸的效果,因此在此先對針灸的作法作簡單介紹。Figure 5 is a timing diagram of liquid lens voltage and ultrasonic source voltage according to some embodiments of the invention. Since the
一般中醫施作針灸針刺穴位,於穴位上方將鋼針從皮膚表面垂直刺入,在穴位進行進針、留針、退針等動作來刺激穴位。進行針灸的時候,針由穴道的淺層向下深入,稱為插針;由穴道的深層向上淺出,稱為提針。這種縱向的行針手法,稱之為提插法。插針和提針的進出幅度、速度相等,均勻用力反覆交替。提插的幅度和頻率也可根據治療要求來決定,但不宜過大或過快。Traditional Chinese medicine generally performs acupuncture at acupuncture points, inserting steel needles vertically from the skin surface above the acupoints, and inserting, retaining, and withdrawing needles at the acupoints to stimulate the acupoints. During acupuncture, the needle is inserted downward from the superficial layer of the acupoint, which is called needle insertion; and the needle is inserted upward from the deep layer of the acupoint, which is called needle lifting. This vertical acupuncture technique is called the lifting and inserting technique. The in and out amplitude and speed of the needle insertion and lifting needle are equal, and the force is evenly applied and alternated repeatedly. The amplitude and frequency of lifting and insertion can also be determined according to treatment requirements, but should not be too large or too fast.
針對不同病症,將多種針刺手法結合起來使用的方法,是提高治療效果的一種常見方式。以下以稱為「燒山火」與「透天量」的兩種常見的針刺手法為例進行說明。Combining a variety of acupuncture techniques for different conditions is a common way to improve treatment effects. The following is an example of two common acupuncture techniques called "Shaoshanhuo" and "Tongtianliang".
「燒山火」的方法是視穴位的可刺深度分作淺、中、深3層。在針刺得氣後,將針提至淺層,先在淺層施行補法3-9次,然後將針插入中層行補法3-9次,再插入深層行補法3-9次,最後將針退至淺層,稱之為一度。其中補法為使低下的功能恢復旺盛的針法,用以補足身體不足的物質。如此反覆施術數度,使針下產生溫熱感或者病人身體出現發熱感為止。適用於虛寒病證。The method of "burning mountain fire" is to divide the acupuncture points into three levels: shallow, medium and deep according to the puncture depth. After acupuncture to gain Qi, lift the needle to the superficial layer and perform the tonic method 3-9 times on the superficial layer, then insert the needle into the middle layer to perform the tonic method 3-9 times, and then insert the needle into the deep layer to perform the tonic method 3-9 times. Finally, the needle is withdrawn to a shallow layer, which is called one degree. Among them, tonic methods are acupuncture methods that restore weak functions to strong levels and are used to replenish deficient substances in the body. Repeat this operation several times until a warm feeling is produced under the needle or the patient's body feels warm. Suitable for deficiency and cold syndrome.
「透天涼」的方法是針刺得氣後,將針插至深層,在深層施行瀉法6-8次,然後將針提至中層行瀉法6-8次,再將針提至淺層行瀉法6-8次,最後將針插至深層,稱之為一度。其中,瀉法為使亢進的功能恢復正常的針法,用以排除身體不需要或有害的物質。如此反覆施術數次,使針下出現涼感或者病人身體出現涼感為度。適用於溫熱病證。The method of "Tiantianliang" is to insert the needle into the deep layer after acupuncture to achieve qi, and perform the purgative method at the deep layer for 6-8 times, then lift the needle to the middle layer and perform the purgative method for 6-8 times, and then lift the needle to the shallow layer. Perform the layer-by-layer purgative method 6-8 times, and finally insert the needle into the deep layer, which is called first degree. Among them, the purgative method is an acupuncture method that restores hyperactive functions to normal and eliminates unnecessary or harmful substances from the body. Repeat this procedure several times until a cooling sensation appears under the needle or on the patient's body. Suitable for febrile diseases.
由於針灸需使用不鏽鋼針對皮膚進行穿刺,因此可能產生的問題包括:強刺激、創痛、刺破皮膚、易造成交叉感染。此外,針灸時的刺法風險、技術難度、與不易複製,則使得針刺的重複及準確性成為另一個問題。Since acupuncture requires the use of stainless steel needles to puncture the skin, possible problems include: strong stimulation, trauma, skin puncture, and easy cross-infection. In addition, acupuncture involves risks, technical difficulties, and difficulty in replicating, making the repetition and accuracy of acupuncture another problem.
圖5的液態透鏡電壓與超音波源電壓的時序圖,可使超音波針灸裝置100產生類似前述「燒山火」的針刺方式。時序500為液態透鏡130A的外加電壓時序圖。時序510為超音波源110的外加電壓時序圖。根據液態透鏡130A的外加電壓,可改變液態透鏡130A的焦距,其中外加電壓越大,液態透鏡130A的焦距越小,可使超音波源110所產生的超音波聚焦於更淺的位置。The timing diagram of the liquid lens voltage and the ultrasonic source voltage in Figure 5 allows the
如圖5所示,時序500中,液態透鏡控制器162對液態透鏡130A以固定間隔輸出所述多個液態透鏡電壓脈衝502、504、506。脈衝502、脈衝504、脈衝506具有不同電壓,用以改變液態透鏡130A的焦距。脈衝502、脈衝504、脈衝506的脈衝時長均為t1、脈衝間的間隔時長均為t2,脈衝間的間隔時長t2大於脈衝時長t1。在其他實施例中,脈衝間的間隔時長t2可以等於脈衝時長t1,也可以小於脈衝時長t1,本公開並不以此為限。在本實施例中,一「度」,也就是一個液態透鏡電壓週期,包括五個脈衝502、五個脈衝504與五個脈衝506。而脈衝502、脈衝504、脈衝506分別具有不同電壓,以改變圖1中液態透鏡130A的焦距。As shown in FIG. 5 , in
另一方面,時序510具有多個脈衝512。脈衝512具有與脈衝502、脈衝504、脈衝506相同的脈衝時長t1、與相同的脈衝間的間隔時長t2,且時序510的脈衝512與時序500的脈衝502、脈衝504、脈衝506同步,亦即液態透鏡130A的時序500的各個脈衝與超音波源110的時序510的各個脈衝會互相對準。脈衝512的電壓用以使圖1中的超音波源110產生特定頻率與強度的超音波。On the other hand,
如圖5所示,脈衝502具有電壓V
L(第一電壓強度),並重複五次(第一多個液態透鏡電壓脈衝)。這表示在脈衝502的時候,圖1的液態透鏡130A因外加電壓V
L而具有焦距f1。而在時序510中,脈衝512具有電壓V
US,並於對應脈衝502的時刻同步出現。這表示在脈衝512的時候,超音波源110因外加電壓V
US而產生對應強度的超音波。超音波源110所產生的超音波通過液態透鏡130A時,會聚焦於焦距f1(第一焦距)的地方,相當於針刺入焦距f1的地方。當脈衝502與脈衝512消失的時候,相當於進行退針。如圖2A-圖2C所示,液態透鏡的外加電壓越小,液態透鏡的焦距越大,液態透鏡的外加電壓越大,液態透鏡的焦距越小。因此在圖5中,脈衝502進行5次,相當於執行「將針提至深層,在深層施行補法5次」的步驟。
As shown in Figure 5,
接著,在時序500中,脈衝504具有電壓V
M(第二電壓強度),並重複五次(第二多個液態透鏡電壓脈衝)。這表示在脈衝504的時候,液態透鏡130A因外加電壓V
M而具有焦距f2(第二焦距)。如圖2A-圖2C所示,液態透鏡的外加電壓越小,液態透鏡的焦距越大,液態透鏡的外加電壓越大,液態透鏡的焦距越小。由於外加電壓V
M大於V
L,因此焦距f2小於焦距f1。而在時序510中,依舊是具有電壓V
US的脈衝512於對應脈衝504的時刻出現。這表示在脈衝504的時候,超音波源110因外加電壓V
US而產生對應強度的超音波脈衝通過液態透鏡130A時,會聚焦於焦距f2的地方,相當於針刺入焦距f2的地方。因此在圖5中,脈衝504進行5次,相當於執行「將針插入中層行補法5次」的步驟。
Next, in
接著,在時序500中,脈衝506具有電壓V
H(第三電壓強度),並重複五次(第三多個液態透鏡電壓脈衝)。這表示在脈衝506的時候,液態透鏡130A因外加電壓V
H而具有焦距f3(第三焦距)。如圖2A-圖2C所示,液態透鏡的外加電壓越小,液態透鏡的焦距越大,液態透鏡的外加電壓越大,液態透鏡的焦距越小。由於外加電壓V
H大於V
M,因此焦距f3小於焦距f2。而在時序510中,依舊是具有電壓V
US的脈衝512於對應脈衝506的時刻出現。這表示在脈衝506的時候,超音波源110因外加電壓V
US而產生對應強度的超音波脈衝通過液態透鏡130A時,會聚焦於焦距f3的地方,相當於針刺入焦距f3的地方。因此在圖5中,脈衝506進行5次,相當於執行「再插入淺層行補法5次」的步驟。
Next, in
當脈衝506進行五次後,時序500又回到脈衝502。這時相當於最後將針插至深層,也就是液態透鏡130A的焦距f1的位置。如此一個週期,包括5個脈衝502、5個脈衝504、5個脈衝506、稱之為一度。根據一些實施例,一度可包含多種不同液態透鏡電壓,而每個液態透鏡電壓出現的次數可為一次以上,依需求而定,本公開並不加以限制。After
在圖5中,值得注意的是,在時序500與時序510中,僅有液態透鏡電壓產生變化,也就是改變液態透鏡130A的焦距。但是超音波源110的電壓512卻始終保持不變。因此相當於超音波源110持續產生相同功率的超音波,藉由改變液態透鏡130A的焦距,使超音波得以聚焦於特定穴位的不同深度的位置。In FIG. 5 , it is worth noting that in the
圖6是根據本發明的另一些實施例的液態透鏡電壓與超音波源電壓的時序圖。如圖6所示,時序600為液態透鏡130A的外加電壓時序圖。時序610為超音波源110的外加電壓時序圖。圖6與圖5對應的標號具有相似的性質,因此不再贅述。圖6與圖5的差異如下。在時序600中,脈衝602除了具有電壓V
L之外,更在一微擾電壓ΔV內週期變化也就是電壓在V
L與V
L+ΔV之間週期變化(第一微擾電壓範圍),微擾電壓ΔV小於或遠小於電壓V
L。根據另一些實施例,電壓變化範圍可以是在V
L與V
L-ΔV之間週期變化,或是在V
L-ΔV與V
L+ΔV之間週期變化,本公開並不以此為限。這表示液態透鏡130A因外加電壓V
L而具有焦距f1,外加電壓V
L+ΔV(第一微擾電壓)時具有焦距f1-Δf(第一微擾焦距),微擾焦距Δf小於或遠小於焦距f1。換言之,液態透鏡130A的焦距f1隨著電壓在V
L附近改變而對應改變。而在時序610中,脈衝612具有電壓V
US,並於對應脈衝602的時刻出現,各個脈衝602與脈衝612同步且互相對準。這表示在脈衝612的時候,超音波源110因外加電壓V
US而產生對應強度的超音波脈衝。這個超音波脈衝通過液態透鏡130A時,會聚焦於焦距f1的地方,相當於針刺入焦距f1的地方,且隨著脈衝602的電壓變化,依序聚焦於f1與f1-Δf處。這樣的脈衝602與脈衝612的組合相當於是在f1處進行小幅度的進針與退針,也就是在f1處進行擾動。同理,在脈衝604、606處的電壓也分別是V
M+ΔV(第二微擾電壓)與V
H+ΔV(第三微擾電壓),分別在V
M與V
M+ΔV之間變換(第二微擾電壓範圍);在V
H與V
H+ΔV之間變換(第三微擾電壓範圍),以分別在V
M與V
H所對應的焦距f2與f3處產生擾動,分別產生f2-Δf(第二微擾焦距)、f3-Δf(第三微擾焦距)。根據一些實施例,對液態透鏡130A所提供的電壓擾動ΔV,可以使焦距產生0.5-10mm的變化,但並不以此為限。實際應用上,焦距的變化量需取決於穴位位置與所需的治療方式。
FIG. 6 is a timing diagram of liquid lens voltage and ultrasonic source voltage according to other embodiments of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6 ,
圖7是根據本發明的另一些實施例的液態透鏡電壓與紅外線源電壓的時序圖。時序700為液態透鏡130A的外加電壓時序圖。時序710為紅外線源120的外加電壓時序圖。相對於如圖5與圖6所示的針刺模式,若採用灸模式,也就是使用遠紅外線照射穴位時,控制液態透鏡130A的焦距為固定值,並對穴位照射聚焦遠紅外線。當採用灸模式時,超音波源110為關閉狀態。FIG. 7 is a timing diagram of liquid lens voltage and infrared source voltage according to other embodiments of the present invention. Timing 700 is an applied voltage timing diagram of
如圖7所示,時序700中,液態透鏡控制器162對液態透鏡130A以固定間隔輸出所述多個液態透鏡電壓脈衝702,用以改變液態透鏡130A的焦距。脈衝702的脈衝時長為t3、脈衝間的間隔時長為t4。脈衝702用以改變圖1中液態透鏡130A的焦距。As shown in FIG. 7 , in the
另一方面,時序710具有脈衝712。脈衝712具有與脈衝702相同的脈衝時長t3、與相同的脈衝間隔時長t4,脈衝時長t3大於脈衝間隔時長t4,且時序710的脈衝712與時序700的脈衝702同步。在其他實施例中,脈衝間的間隔時長t4可以等於脈衝時長t3,也可以大於脈衝時長t3,本公開並不以此為限。脈衝712的電壓用以使圖1中的紅外線源120產生特定強度的紅外線,使用紅外線照射等同中醫的「灸」,在穴道進行加熱刺激。On the other hand,
在液態透鏡130A的時序700中,脈衝702具有電壓V,這表示在脈衝702的時候,液態透鏡130A因外加電壓V而具有焦距f。而在紅外線源120的時序710中,脈衝712具有電壓V
IR,並於對應脈衝702的時刻出現。這表示在脈衝712的時候,紅外線源120因外加電壓V
IR而產生對應強度的紅外光。紅外線源120所產生的紅外光通過液態透鏡130A時,會聚焦於焦距f的地方,相當於對位於焦距f的地方進行加熱。根據一些實施例,脈衝長度為30秒,兩個脈衝之間間隔10秒,相當於照射30秒休息10秒,但並不以此為限。
In the
圖8是根據本發明的一些實施例的超音波針灸裝置的操作流程圖。如圖8所示,在步驟S02中,選擇適應症運行模式,以決定液態透鏡與超音波源的外加電壓時序,如圖5及圖6所示,或決定液態透鏡與紅外線光源的外加電壓時序,如圖7所示,以決定液態透鏡聚焦位置,以及超音波源所產生的超音波的強度。例如選擇針刺手法為燒山火或透天涼,或是針刺手法為補氣或洩氣,但並不以此為限。Figure 8 is an operational flow chart of an ultrasonic acupuncture device according to some embodiments of the present invention. As shown in Figure 8, in step S02, the indication operation mode is selected to determine the applied voltage timing sequence of the liquid lens and the ultrasonic source, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, or to determine the applied voltage timing sequence of the liquid lens and the infrared light source. , as shown in Figure 7, to determine the focusing position of the liquid lens and the intensity of the ultrasonic waves generated by the ultrasonic source.

According to the selected acupoint combination, the focal length range of the liquid lens can be determined.
在步驟S06中,進行針灸施作選擇,例如選擇「針」模式,或是「灸」模式,以決定使用超音波源產生超音波或是使用紅外線源產生遠紅外線。In step S06, acupuncture treatment is selected, for example, "needle" mode or "moxibustion" mode is selected to determine whether to use an ultrasonic source to generate ultrasonic waves or an infrared source to generate far-infrared rays.
在步驟S08中,施行參數設定。若選擇「針」模式,則需設定脈衝長度,脈衝頻率,速度,以及度數等參數,但並不以此為限。若選擇「灸」模式,則需設定脈衝長度等參數,但並不以此為限。In step S08, parameter setting is performed.

在步驟S10中,根據步驟S02至S08所設定的參數,開始施作。此時超音波源控制器162、紅外線源控制器164、液態透鏡控制器166分別發出控制訊號,以控制超音波源110、紅外線源120及液態透鏡130A,以將所產生的超音波或遠紅外線聚焦於特定位置。In step S10, the operation is started according to the parameters set in steps S02 to S08. At this time, the
在步驟S12中,當針灸流程施作完畢之後,治療結束。In step S12, after the acupuncture process is completed, the treatment ends.
綜上所述,本發明利用液態透鏡聚焦超音波或遠紅外線,並藉由改變液態透鏡焦距,進而達到類似針灸中進針或退針的效果,以達到非侵入式治療的功效。To sum up, the present invention uses a liquid lens to focus ultrasonic waves or far-infrared rays, and by changing the focal length of the liquid lens, it achieves an effect similar to the needle insertion or withdrawal in acupuncture, so as to achieve the effect of non-invasive treatment.
