One end of the inner housing 130 may be installed in a structure in which the needle 110 is protruded to be interlocked by the inner housing 130. Needle 110 is a guide hole 111 for receiving the hair follicle 300 is formed at the same time to guide the movement of the shaft 140.
여기서, 니들(110)은 외부 하우징(120)과 내부 하우징(130)으로부터 돌출된 돌출형으로 구성되고 종단은 끝이 뾰족한 침 모양으로 형성하여 피부 조직에 침투가 용이하도록 하고 모낭(300)을 피부 조직에 이식하는데 적합한 모양으로 제작하는 것이 바람직하다. 도면에는 경사 단면을 자체적으로 두어 끝이 뾰족한 모양을 둔 예로 나타나 있다.Here, the needle 110 is formed of a protruding shape protruding from the outer housing 120 and the inner housing 130 and the end is formed in a pointed needle shape to facilitate penetration into the skin tissue and the hair follicle 300 skin It is desirable to fabricate shapes that are suitable for implantation into tissue. The figure shows an example in which the inclined cross section is placed on its own to have a pointed tip.
외부 하우징(120)과 내부 하우징(130)은 각각 스프링 수용공간(122)(132)을 구비한다. 외부 하우징(120)의 스프링 수용공간(122)에는 제1 탄성체(160)를 길이 방향을 따라 안착하여 실장 한다. 내부 하우징(130)의 스프링 수용공간(132)에는 제2 탄성체(170)를 길이 방향을 따라 안착하여 실장 한다.The outer housing 120 and the inner housing 130 have spring receiving spaces 122 and 132, respectively. In the spring receiving space 122 of the outer housing 120 is mounted by mounting the first elastic body 160 along the longitudinal direction. In the spring receiving space 132 of the inner housing 130 is mounted by mounting the second elastic body 170 in the longitudinal direction.
이렇게 외부 하우징(120)와 내부 하우징(130)에 각각 설치되는 제1 및 제2 탄성체(160)(170)는 코어부와 평행적으로 나란한 직렬 배치가 아닌 중첩된 병렬적 배치 형식으로 실장될 수 있다.Thus, the first and second elastic bodies 160 and 170 respectively installed in the outer housing 120 and the inner housing 130 may be mounted in a superimposed parallel arrangement form rather than in parallel arrangement in parallel with the core portion. have.
내부 하우징(130)의 일단은 코어부의 이동 방향에 따라 제1 탄성체(160)의 탄성을 받는 리지 플레이트(133)가 돌출형으로 구성된다. 리지 플레이트(133)는 외부 하우징(120)의 스프링 수용공간(122)에 실장된 제1 탄성체(160)를 탄지하여 내부 하우징(130)이 외력에 의해 내부 하우징(120)을 따라 이동할 때 제1 탄성체(160)를 압축키시면서 이동하고, 내부 하우징(120)에 작용하는 외력이 줄어들거나 소거되면 스프링 탄성이 리지 플레이트(133)에 작용하여 내부 하우징(120)을 원위치로 복귀시킨다.One end of the inner housing 130 has a ridge plate 133 that is elastically received by the first elastic body 160 according to a moving direction of the core portion. The ridge plate 133 holds the first elastic body 160 mounted in the spring receiving space 122 of the outer housing 120 so that the inner housing 130 moves along the inner housing 120 by external force. When the elastic body 160 moves while compressing, and the external force acting on the inner housing 120 is reduced or eliminated, the spring elasticity acts on the ridge plate 133 to return the inner housing 120 to its original position.
코어부는, 헤드 뭉치(140)와 샤프트(150)로 구분되어 있으며, 코어부를 구성하는 헤드 뭉치(140)와 샤프트(150)는 분리형 또는 일체형으로 구성될 수 있다.The core unit is divided into a head bundle 140 and a shaft 150, and the head bundle 140 and the shaft 150 constituting the core portion may be configured as a separate type or as an integral type.
분리형은 헤드 뭉치(140)와 샤프트(150)를 암수나사 결합으로 조립하는 구조로 구성될 수 있다. 이 경우 샤프트(150) 또는 헤드 뭉치(140)의 손상이나 파손이 있으면 해당 부분만을 교체하여 사용할 수 있는 이점이 있다. The detachable type may be configured to assemble the head bundle 140 and the shaft 150 by a male and female screw coupling. In this case, if there is damage or breakage of the shaft 150 or the head bundle 140, there is an advantage that only the corresponding parts can be used.
일체형은 샤프트(150)와 헤드 뭉치(140)의 부분 교체가 불가능하지만 가공과 조립이 유리한 이점이 있다.The integral type is impossible to partially replace the shaft 150 and the head bundle 140, but there is an advantage in processing and assembly.
어느 경우든 이와 같은 이점들은 샤프트(150)의 일부분을 헤드 뭉치(140)로 구성함으로써 기대할 수 있는 이점들이다.In either case, these advantages are those that can be expected by constructing a portion of the shaft 150 as a head bundle 140.
헤드 뭉치(140)에는 공이(141)를 둔다. 공이(141)를 포함하는 헤드 뭉치(140)는 외력을 전달하는 가동 핀 또는 로드 등과 같은 가동 로드들이 공이(141) 안으로 진입하여 가압력을 전달할 수 있게 한다.The ball bundle 141 puts a ball (141). The head bundle 140 including the ball 141 allows movable rods such as movable pins or rods to transmit external force to enter the ball 141 to transmit the pressing force.
공이(141)는 샤프트(150) 또는 헤드 뭉치(150)에 가압력을 전달하는 가압과정, 또는 가압력을 받아 헤드 뭉치 및 샤프트가 가압력 작용 방향으로 이동하는 과정에서 직진성이 저하되지 않고 안정적인 직선 왕복 운동으로 유도한다. Ball 141 is a stable linear reciprocating motion without deterioration of straightness in the pressing process for transmitting the pressing force to the shaft 150 or the head bundle 150, or in the process of moving the head bundle and the shaft in the pressing force direction in response to the pressing force Induce.
이를 통해 샤프트(150)의 작동 간 직진성 저하를 방지할 수 있으며 헤드 뭉치(140)가 공이(141)를 포함함으로써 전체 헤드 뭉치(140)의 경량화가 이루어져 가압 부하의 급격한 증가를 방지한다.Through this, the straightness of the shaft 150 may be prevented from being deteriorated, and the head bundle 140 includes the balls 141 to reduce the weight of the entire head bundle 140, thereby preventing a sudden increase in the pressure load.
이와 같이 헤드 뭉치(140)와 샤프트(150)로 구분되는 코어부를 성하는 경우 헤드 뭉치(140) 부분은 샤프트(150) 부분에 비해 직경이 확장된 확경부(142)를 두는 것이 바람직하다.As such, when forming a core part divided into the head bundle 140 and the shaft 150, the head bundle 140 may preferably have an enlarged diameter portion 142 having an expanded diameter as compared with the shaft 150.
확경부(142)는 코어부를 내부 하우징(130)의 스프링 수용공간(132)을 따라 끼울 때 별도의 지지체 없이 제2 탄성체(170)를 확경부(142)를 통해 지지한다.The enlarged diameter portion 142 supports the second elastic body 170 through the enlarged diameter portion 142 without any support when the core portion is fitted along the spring receiving space 132 of the inner housing 130.
이때 샤프트(150)의 선단은 내부 하우징(130)의 스프링 수용공간(132)에 안착된 제2 탄성체(170)를 가로질러 외부측 니들(110)의 가이드 홀(111)까지 진입될 수 있도록 샤프트(150)의 전체 길이를 조절하여 세팅하는 것이 바람직하다.In this case, the front end of the shaft 150 may enter the guide hole 111 of the outer needle 110 across the second elastic body 170 seated in the spring receiving space 132 of the inner housing 130. It is desirable to adjust and set the overall length of 150.
샤프트(150)의 선단은 제2 탄성체(170)에 대한 가압력 작용 대기 상태에서 니들(110)의 가이들 홀(111)에 진입한 상태로 길이를 조절하여 세팅하는 경우 샤프트(150)는 가이드 홀(111)을 벗어나지 않고 가압력 작용 대기 또는 가압 진행 중에서도 가이드 홀(111)을 따라 직선적으로 이동한다.When the tip of the shaft 150 is set by adjusting the length in a state where the guide hole 111 of the needle 110 is entered in the pressing force acting state on the second elastic body 170, the shaft 150 is a guide hole. It moves linearly along the guide hole 111 in the pressurizing action | atmosphere atmosphere or a pressurization progress, without leaving 111.
이에 따라 샤프트(150)의 정교한 직진도를 확보할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 모낭(300)의 이식 지점에 정확하게 모낭(300)을 이식할 수 있다.Accordingly, it is possible to secure the precise straightness of the shaft 150, through which the hair follicle 300 can be accurately implanted at the transplantation point of the hair follicle 300.
헤드 뭉치(140)의 외경은 내부 하우징(130)의 내경 벽면에 접촉하면서 미끄럼 운동할 수 있도록 미끄럼 접촉면의 틈 간격을 조정하여 조립하는 것이 바람직하다. The outer diameter of the head bundle 140 is preferably assembled by adjusting the gap gap of the sliding contact surface to slide while contacting the inner diameter wall surface of the inner housing 130.
틈 간격은 샤프트(150)의 직진도 유지에 중요하다. 틈 간격이 넓으면 유격이 발생되고 그런 만큼 샤프트(150)의 흔들림 유동이 발생 된다. 내부 하우징(130)의 내경 벽면과 헤드 뭉치(140)의 외경면 사이 틈 간격은 0.1 내지 0.5mm 범위로 조정하는 것이 바람직하다.The gap clearance is important for maintaining the straightness of the shaft 150. If the gap is wide, the play is generated and thus the shake flow of the shaft 150 is generated. The clearance gap between the inner diameter wall surface of the inner housing 130 and the outer diameter surface of the head bundle 140 is preferably adjusted in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
내부 하우징(130)에 안착되는 제2 탄성체(170)는 헤드 뭉치(140)에 형성되는 확경부(142)의 일단에 밀착되어 탄지될 수 있으므로 제2 탄성체(170)를 내부 하우징(130)에 탄지하기 위한 별도의 부품이 불필요하다. 단순하면서도 간결한 결합 구조로 완성된다.Since the second elastic body 170 seated on the inner housing 130 may be in close contact with one end of the enlarged diameter part 142 formed on the head bundle 140, the second elastic body 170 may be attached to the inner housing 130. There is no need for a separate part to burn. It is completed with simple and concise joining structure.
이렇게 외부 하우징(120)과 내부 하우징(130)에 탄설되는 제1 및 제2 탄성체(160)(170)는 코일 스프링, 판 스프링, 와이어를 포함하는 텐션 스프링 중에서 선택된 어느 일종의 스프링을 포함할 수 있다. As such, the first and second elastic bodies 160 and 170 that are installed in the outer housing 120 and the inner housing 130 may include any kind of spring selected from a tension spring including a coil spring, a leaf spring, and a wire. .
도면에는 외부 하우징(120)과 내부 하우징(120)에 각각 코일 스프링을 병렬 배치로 실장한 예로 나타나 있지만, 여기에 한정되지 않는다. 다만, 코일 스프링은 가압력에 반응하여 압축 복원되는 반응성이 비교적 우수하고 전체 스프링 계수를 조정하여 설계하는데에도 유리하므로 바람직한 탄성체로 선택될 수 있다.Although the drawings show an example in which the coil springs are mounted in parallel in the outer housing 120 and the inner housing 120, respectively, but are not limited thereto. However, the coil spring may be selected as a preferred elastic body because it has a relatively good resiliency in compression and restoration in response to the pressing force and is advantageous in designing by adjusting the overall spring coefficient.

본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 니들 유닛의 작동 예를 도 8을 참조하여 설명하면 다음과 같다.An operation example of the needle unit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 8.
도 8의 (a)(b)(c0(d)(e)는 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 니들 유닛의 모낭 이식 과정과 단계별 작동 설명도이다.8 (a) (b) (c0 (d) (e) are explanatory diagrams of the hair follicle transplantation process and step-by-step operation of the needle unit according to the embodiment of the present invention.
(a)는 니들 유닛(100)의 가동 전 대기 상태이다. (a)와 같이 니들 유닛(100)은 가동부 등에 의한 외부 가압력 전달이 있기 전, 즉 시술 대기 상태에서는 외부 하우징(120)과 내부 하우징(130)에 실장된 제1 탄성체(160)와 제2 탄성체(170)가 모두 인장된 상태에 놓여있다.(a) is a standby state before operation of the needle unit 100. As shown in (a), the needle unit 100 has the first elastic body 160 and the second elastic body mounted in the outer housing 120 and the inner housing 130 before the external pressure transmission by the movable part, that is, in the standby state of the procedure. All 170 are in tension.
(b)는 니들 유닛(100)의 내부 하우징(130)이 외부 하우징(120)으로부터 빠져나온 상태이다.(b) is the state in which the inner housing 130 of the needle unit 100 exits from the outer housing 120.
상기 (b)와 같이 시술을 위해 니들 유닛(100)을 움직여서 모낭을 이식할 피부 조직(400)의 목표 지점에 접근시킨 뒤 내부 하우징(130)을 가동부 등으로 가압하면 내부 하우징(130)은 제1 탄성체(160)의 탄성을 극복하면서 화살표 방향인 A 방향으로 이동한다. 니들(100)의 끝단은 목표로 하는 피부 조직(400)에 1차로 침투한다. As shown in (b), when the needle unit 100 is moved for the procedure to approach the target point of the skin tissue 400 to transplant the hair follicles, the inner housing 130 is pressed when the inner housing 130 is pressed by the movable part. 1 The elastic body 160 moves in the direction of arrow A while overcoming the elasticity. The tip of the needle 100 penetrates primarily into the target skin tissue 400.
이때 내부 하우징(130)은 외부 하우징(120)을 따라 작동하므로 이동 간 직선 방향으로 이동이 규제되어 정확한 직선적 이동 경로로 목표 지점에 도달하기 때문에 사전에 정해진 이식 지점에 정확히 니들(111)의 첨단이 닿는다.At this time, since the inner housing 130 operates along the outer housing 120, movement in a linear direction between movements is regulated to reach a target point with an accurate linear movement path, so that the tip of the needle 111 is exactly at a predetermined implantation point. To reach.
(c)는 니들 유닛(100)의 내부 하우징(130)에 대한 가압력을 서서히 줄이면서 니들(110)의 가이드 홀(111)에 삽입되어 있던 모낭(300)을 피부 조직에 이식하는 상태이다. (c) is a state in which the hair follicle 300 inserted into the guide hole 111 of the needle 110 is implanted into the skin tissue while gradually decreasing the pressing force on the inner housing 130 of the needle unit 100.
내부 하우징(130)에 대한 가압력을 줄이면, 상기 (c)와 같이 제1 탄성체(160)의 탄성력으로 외부 하우징(120) 속의 내부 하우징(130)이 제1 탄성체의 탄성력 작용 방향으로 후퇴한다. 니들(110)의 가이드 홀(111) 속에 진입된 샤프트(150)는 모낭 이식이 완료된 시점에 시차를 두고 그 이후에 후퇴하도록 할 수 있다.When the pressing force on the inner housing 130 is reduced, the inner housing 130 in the outer housing 120 retreats in the elastic force action direction of the first elastic body by the elastic force of the first elastic body 160 as shown in (c). The shaft 150 entered into the guide hole 111 of the needle 110 may be retracted after staggering at the time when the hair follicle transplantation is completed.

When transplantation of hair follicles is finished, when all the pressing forces on the inner housing 130 are released, the inner housing 130 moves to the arrow C direction and returns to an initial state by the elasticity of the first elastic body as shown in (d).
내부 하우징에 대한 가압력의 해제는 순간적, 또는 시간을 두고 몇 차례에 나누어 해제할 수 있다. 내부 하우징을 누르던 가압력이 모두 소거되면 압축 상태였던 제1 탄성체(160)는 스프링 복원력으로 초기 상태인 상기 (a)의 위치로 복원된다.The release of the pressing force on the inner housing can be released instantaneously or in several divisions over time. When all of the pressing force that presses the inner housing is erased, the first elastic body 160, which is in the compressed state, is restored to the position of (a) in the initial state by the spring restoring force.
(e)는 모낭 이식을 완료한 후 초기 상태로 복귀된 니들 유닛 상태이다.(e) is the needle unit state that returned to the initial state after completion of hair follicle transplantation.
헤드 뭉치(140)에 대한 가압력을 모두 해제하면 샤프트(150) 및 헤드 뭉치(140)는 제2 탄성체(170)의 스프링 복원력으로 화살표 방향인 D 방향으로 이동한다.When the pressing force on the head bundle 140 is released, the shaft 150 and the head bundle 140 move in the direction of arrow D as the spring restoring force of the second elastic body 170.
이처럼 헤드 뭉치(140)에 대한 가압력이 모두 소거하면 초기 상태인 상기 (a) 상태와 비교할 때 모낭(300) 만 빠져나가 피부 조직에 이식된 상태이므로 니들(110)의 가이드 홀(111)에 비워진 공간에 모낭을 삽입할 수 있는 충전 대기 상태에 놓인다.As such, when all the pressing force on the head bundle 140 is erased, only the hair follicle 300 escapes and is implanted into the skin tissue as compared with the initial state (a), so that the guide hole 111 of the needle 110 is emptied. It is in a waiting state to insert hair follicles into the space.
