Abstract

It is a numerically controlled machine which provides application of the ultrasonic deep heating device which is the device for ultrasound treatment method used in physiotherapy in healthcare sector without human. The machine is operated from near of the examination bed. The machine consists of three servomotor mechanisms (9, 10, 11). Commands are given to these servomotors by sizing predetermined figures on 3 jointed control panel (15) via logical controller. The orbit (Figure 6) which consists of ellipses connected to each other and centres are put away from each other by the command given to servomotor mechanisms (9, 10) which performs the movement on X and Y coordinates appears. To set height in the coordinate z, Instruction is provided to serve motor setting in coordinate z; z coordinate height is automatically set through applying vertical force to back of the patient via load cell (7) that was placed into the contact section of ultrasonic deep heater to the patient.

DESCRIPTION

NUMERIC CONTROLLED ULTRASONIC DEEP HEATING DEVICE MACHINE

TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention is a numerically controlled machine which will remove the human factor providing application of the ultrasonic deep heating device used in ultrasound treatment within physiotherapy field on healthcare sector to the patient. PRIOR ART

The application method known is application of the ultrasonic deep heating device on an imaginary helical orbit by compressing on the muscles which are near to the vertebrae via hand of the expert healthcare officer without connecting to any machine or mechanism. This application lasts about 30 and 45 minutes. Within this period, a power loss occurs on the healthcare officer who applies the treatment. Distraction also occurs by power loss and the officer gives harm to the patient by hindering the symmetrical movements required. Another disadvantage of the current method is that such healthcare officer cannot be interested with another patients, therefore healthcare officer problem is experienced for another treatments and needs in the healthcare organizations where such treatment is applied. Therefore, a backlog of patients appears in related units and appointments can be given after 6 to 8 months.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

By increasing the expert healthcare officers who apply the treatment in

"ultrasonic deep heating device" using units 8 times in ultrasound treatments within physiotherapy field, appointment accumulation for 6 to 8 months is prevented. With this invention, to resolve qualified human problem is aimed via "ultrasonic deep heating application machine" without requiring any healthcare officer increase.

Another problem aimed to resolve with the invention is the power loss which appears on the healthcare officer's arm who applied the ultrasonic deep heating device by hand for 30 to 45 minutes in the ultrasound treatment method. With such application, the ultrasonic deep heating device is applied more onto the same area on the patient's back and this provides harm to the patient. To resolve this problem by applying the ultrasonic deep heating device with the invented machine.

THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invented "ultrasonic deep heating device application machine" (Figure 1 , Figure 2) is applied near to the examination bed. Such device applies the predetermined treatment movements by applying a fixed compression with a pressure control onto the patient's back who lies facedown on the examination bed. The ultrasonic deep heating device application machine consists of 3 servomotor mechanisms, a programmable logical controller which gives command to servomotors (16), a 3 jointed control unit which provides sizing of predetermined treatment movements (15), a machine body (18) and telescopic face shields (12, 13, 14). The machine provides processing of predetermined treatment movements via a programmable logical control unit by changing it within desired sizes with interpolation method.

The invented "ultrasonic deep heating application machine" has a 3 jointed console control unit (15) which provides to start the first movement by sizing the predetermined treatment methods for smooth application on the backs of the patients who have different sizes and sending such sizes to the programmed logical controller (16) during the application. The control unit is connected onto the machine body (18) with 3 jointed structure. Thus, initial settings will be done on desired placed on the patient's back. The invented ultrasonic deep heating application machine consists of mechanisms which can move on x, y and z axis, respectively. These mechanisms consist of servomotor (1 ), linear marine railway (3), threaded rod (4), shaft bearing (2), driving shaft flanged nut (6), linear car (8), cable carrier (5), cable carrier bearing

5 (21 ), mechanism holder connection plate (23), driving shaft connection bearing (24) and carrying structure (22). Linear marine railways (3) are connected on the carrying structure (22). There is a group consisting of a linear car (8), driving shaft flanged nut (6), nut connection bearing (24) and hanger connection plate (23) on linear marine railways (3). This group is driven by a threaded rod (4) driven by a servomotor (1 ).

0 The threaded rod (4) has a bearing with a shaft bearing (2) over the carrying structure (22). These mechanisms have a cable carrier (5) which provides safe movement of cable systems required for medical equipment and power cables and cable carrier bearings (21 ) which facilitates movement of these cables.

5 The ultrasonic deep heating application machine has a telescopic bellows (12,

13, 14) mechanism which is installed in front of machine equipments, protects the operating parts of the machine from foreign substances, prevents insertion of any organ of the patient into the operating mechanism of the machine during operation, may move interlocked and serves as a cover during the movements on x, y and z

!O coordinates.

The ultrasonic deep heating application machine (Figure 1 , Figure 2) consists of three servomotor mechanisms of which each will make the movement of one axis. First servomotor mechanism will move on coordinate x (9) along spine of the patient. !5 Second servomotor (10) will provide the movement on y axis on the muscles adjacent to the vertebrae along shoulder width. Third servomotor mechanism (1 1 ) will provide the movement on coordinate z to create a vertical force on the back via acceleration and deceleration load cell (7) on the patient's back.
