Description

The useful model belongs to medicine, to physiotherapeutic devices made in the form of a needle applicator, intended for physiotherapeutic effects on reflexogenic zones of the human body, can be used for therapeutic and preventive purposes in medical institutions and in domestic conditions.

Needle applicators for physiotherapy, as a rule, are made in the form of an elastic base, in which needles are fixed, made with means of fixing needles in an elastic base. The tips of the needles protrude beyond the elastic base and form the working side of the applicator.

An example of such applicators is the Lyapko applicator, which is known by a Ukrainian patent for the invention

Mo. 54480, IPC AbIN 39/08, application date 15.07.1999. The applicator contains an elastic base of a given configuration and fixed in the elastic base needles, made with heads, as means of fixing the needles in the elastic base of the applicator. The needles are fixed in the elastic base with their heads, the tips of the needles protrude beyond the elastic base and form the working side of the applicator. Needles with their heads are fixed in the body of the base in the process of plasticizing the base material during the production of the base.

To make the applicator, a special matrix with holes located according to the location of the needles in the applicator is used. Needles are inserted into the holes with the heads towards the base of the applicator. The material of the base of the applicator is heated to the temperature of hot plasticization (flowability) and with the help of a special device, the heads of the needles are pressed into the base material to a specified depth. In the future, the material of the base is subject to hardening, for example by vulcanizing rubber, if the base is made of rubber. The material of the base in a fluid state covers the needles and their heads and after hardening fixes the needles in the elastic base.

Common features of the specified analogue and the proposed solution are: an applicator for physiotherapy, which includes an elastic base, in which needles are fixed, made with means of fixing the needles in an elastic base, the tips of which protrude beyond the elastic base to form the working side of the applicator.

The need to place the heads of hundreds, or even thousands, of needles in a softened (liquid) state of the base material with their subsequent fixation in the base due to hardening (polymerization, vulcanization) of the base material complicates the technology of making the applicator,

Zo requires the use of special devices.

Fastening of metal needles in an elastic base can be done by installing the needles in previously made seating sockets in the elastic base, using the elastic (elastic) properties of the base material.

Yes, the well-known applicator for physiotherapy under the patent of Ukraine for the useful model Mo 130220,

IPC AbI1N 39/08, date of application 14.06.2018. This solution was selected as a prototype.

The applicator contains an elastic base with reflective protrusions, in which needles are fixed, which are made in the form of pointed rods with means of fixing the needles in the elastic base.

The tips of the rods protrude beyond the elastic base to form the working side of the applicator. The means for securing the needle in the elastic base is a section of the needle that includes a portion of the rod and at least one thickening on the rod. In the elastic base, there are sockets, the shape of which corresponds to the shape of the means of fixing the needles, that is, the shape of the parts of the needles located in the sockets. The needles are inserted into the specified seating slots. Planting nests are made through or blind. The landing slots are made in the elastic base at the stage of its plastic formation, and the needles are inserted into the landing slots when assembling the applicator. That is, the base with the specified needle sockets is a separate part of the applicator, which is separately manufactured at a specialized site. When assembling the applicator, the needles are simply inserted (pressed) into the seating sockets, using the elastic properties of the base material, which allow the needle to be fixed (clamped) in the base.

Preliminary execution of the landing slots in the elastic base with the subsequent installation (pressing) of the needles into the landing slots simplifies the technology of making the applicator.

To affect the user's body with electrical signals, selected groups of needles are electrically connected to the poles of the source of electrical signals according to a given algorithm. As a means of electrically connecting the needles, there can be electrically conductive isolated shaped sections of the elastic base with which the needles are in contact (in which the needles are fixed) and which are electrically connected to the source of electrical signals, or flexible conductors that are connected to the needles and to the poles sources of electrical signals. Electrically conductive isolated shaped areas of the elastic base are formed at the stage of plastic formation of the base. Installation of flexible conductors is carried out during the installation of needles in the seating sockets of the elastic base.

The common features of the prototype and the proposed solution are: 1) an applicator for physiotherapy, because it contains an elastic base, needles that are made in the form of pointed rods with means of fixing the needles in an elastic base, landing sockets made in an elastic base, the configuration of which corresponds to the configuration of the sections of the needles inserted into the seating sockets with the protrusion of the wister needles beyond the elastic base to form the working side of the applicator, electrically conductive elements connected to the needles.

The production of an elastic base with electrically conductive isolated shaped sections, as well as the installation (connection with needles) of flexible conductors in the process of installing the needles in the seating sockets of the elastic base significantly complicates the technology of the applicator.

The useful model is based on the task of simplifying the applicator manufacturing technology.

The problem is solved by the fact that in the physiotherapy applicator, which contains an elastic base, needles that are made in the form of pointed rods with means for fixing the needles in the elastic base, seating sockets made in the elastic base, the configuration of which corresponds to the configuration of the sections of the inserted needles in the seating sockets with the protrusion of the Wister needles beyond the elastic base with the formation of the working side of the applicator, electrically conductive elements connected to the needles, according to a useful model, the needles with electrically conductive elements are connected to an independent needle assembly, which includes needles located according to the location of the landing slots in the elastic base, and the electrically conductive elements connecting the needles in accordance with the given algorithm for the electrical connection of the needles.

The connection of needles and electrically conductive elements into an independent needle node provides the possibility of node-by-node assembly of the applicator. The production of a separate elastic base with seating sockets and a separate needle assembly with needles and conductive elements at specialized sites, followed by the connection of these assemblies into a single structure of the applicator at the assembly site simplifies the applicator manufacturing technology.

Electrically conductive elements can be made in the form of flexible conductors, soldered or welded to needles.

Electrically conductive elements can be made in the form of a toothed comb made of conductive elastomer, in the teeth of which needles are fixed.

The elastic base can be made voluminous in the form of a cylinder or sphere.

The elastic base can be made flat in the form of a sheet of a given configuration or

Applicator for physiotherapy (Fig. 1-5) contains an elastic base 1, needles fixed in the elastic base 1, which are made in the form of rods 2, the tips of which protrude beyond the elastic base 1 to form the working side of the applicator. The needles are made with the means of fixing the needles in the elastic base 1 in the form of thickenings (heads) 4 on the rods of the needles 2. In the elastic base 1, seating slots 5 are made with extensions b from the back side of the elastic base 1, the shape and dimensions of which correspond to the shape and dimensions of the thickenings 4 on the rods 2 (Fig. 4, 5), and the needles are inserted into the specified seating slots 5, with this thickening 4 of the rods 2 are located in the extensions b of the seating sockets 5. The extensions b on the back side of the elastic base 1 are made with catches 7, which fix the thickening (heads) of the 4 rods 2 in the extensions 6.

The needles are connected to an independent needle assembly, which includes needles located according to the location of the seating sockets 5 in the elastic base 1, as well as electrically conductive elements connecting the needles according to the specified algorithm for the electrical connection of the needles.

In fig. C shows the connection of needles according to the algorithm, which involves connecting adjacent needles in horizontal rows to opposite poles of the source of electrical signals.

Electrically conductive elements are flexible conductors 8 that are soldered (soldered 9) or welded to the heads 4 of rods 2.

On the back side of the elastic base 1, an elastic layer 10 is made integral with the elastic base 1. The material of the elastic layer 10 covers the openings of the landing slots 5 with

From the back side of the elastic base 1, fills the possible gaps between the thickenings 4 of the rods 2 and the walls of the extensions 6 (Fig. 2), which prevents the needles from being pushed out of the seating sockets 5 in the direction of the back side of the elastic base 1, i.e. increases the reliability of fixing the needles in the elastic base 1 applicator

The elastic base 1 with seating sockets 5 and the needle assembly with needles connected by electrically conductive elements are two independent assemblies that are manufactured separately at specialized sites, which provides the possibility of unit-by-assembly assembly of the applicator by subsequent connection of the specified assemblies into a single applicator design, which simplifies the technology of making the applicator.

When assembling the applicator, the needles connected by conductive elements into a needle assembly are inserted (pressed) into the seating sockets 5, using the elastic properties of the material of the base 1, which allow the needle to be fixed (clamped) in the elastic base 1.

Thickening 4 is placed in extensions 6. After pressing the needles on the back side of the elastic base 1, an elastic layer 10 is made.

In fig. 6-9, a needle assembly is shown, in which the electrically conductive elements are made in the form of flexible conductors 8, soldered (soldering 9) to the thickenings 4 of the rods 2.

In fig. 7 conductors 8 connect the thickening of 4 needles to a source of electrical signals (not shown) so that adjacent needles in horizontal rows are connected to opposite poles of the source of electrical signals (one of the possible algorithms for electrical connection of needles).

In fig. 8 conductors 8 connect the thickening of 4 needles to the source of electrical signals so that adjacent needles in horizontal rows and needles in adjacent vertical rows are connected to opposite poles of the source of electrical signals (the second of the possible algorithms for electrical connection of needles).

In fig. 9 shows the connection of needles to a two-phase source of electrical signals (the third of the possible algorithms for the electrical connection of needles).

In fig. 10-12 shows the operation of assembling the applicator. Fig. 10 - assemblies of the applicator in the disassembled state (separately needle assembly, separately elastic base 1). Fig. 11 - the needles are inserted into the seating sockets 5 of the elastic base 1. Fig. 12 - an elastic layer 10 is made on the back side of the elastic base 1.

Electrically conductive elements of the needle assembly may have a different design.

In fig. 13-21 shows an applicator in which the electrically conductive elements are made in the form of two toothed combs made of conductive elastomer, in the teeth of which needles are fixed.

Applicator for physiotherapy (Fig. 13-16) contains the first node - an elastic base 1, in which there are seating sockets 5 with extensions 6 and grooves 11 with hooks 7 (Fig. 14) on the back side of the elastic base 1 (Fig. 15, 16 ), the second node is a needle node (Fig. 17, 18), which includes needles, which are made in the form of rods 2 with tips C and thickenings 4, as means of fixing the needles in the elastic base 1, and electrically conductive elements connecting the needles .

Electrically conductive elements are made in the form of two toothed combs 12 made of conductive elastomer, in the teeth 13 of which the specified needles are fixed. The needles are located in one row along each tooth 13 of the combs 12. The two combs 12 are located opposite each other so that the teeth 13 of one comb 12 are located between the teeth 13 of the second comb 12. The needles are inserted into the seating slots 5 of the elastic base 1. Thus, the needles in adjacent vertical rows connected to interchangeable poles of electrical signal sources.

When assembling the applicator, the teeth 13 of the combs 12 are inserted into the grooves 11 on the back side of the elastic base 1 with the needles placed in the seating sockets 5. After assembling the specified nodes on the back side of the elastic base 1, the elastic layer 10 is made. The elastic base 1, combs 12, and the elastic layer 9 represent an elastic structure, the nodes of which are connected to each other into a single whole, for example, by vulcanization.

In fig. 19-21 shows the procedure for assembling the applicator. Fig. 19 - assemblies of the applicator in a disassembled state (separately needle assembly, separately elastic base 1). Fig. 20 - teeth 13 of combs 12 inserted into grooves 11, needles inserted into seating sockets 5 of elastic base 1. Fig. 21 - the assembled applicator with an elastic layer 10 on the back side of the elastic base 1.

In fig. 22-27 shows an applicator for physiotherapy, similar to the applicator in fig. 13-18.

The difference is that the needles are located in two rows along each tooth of 13 combs 12.

The elastic base 1 can be made volumetric, for example in the form of a cylinder 14 (Fig. 28) or a sphere 15 (Fig. 29).

The elastic base 1 can be made flat, for example in the form of a sheet 1 (Fig. 4, 5) of a given configuration or a tape 16 (Fig. 30), or petals 17 (Fig. 21), or a shoe insole 18 (Fig. 32).
