Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transcranial magnetic stimulation technology, specifically relating to a transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment cap. Background Technology
[0002] The transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) cap uses a weak magnetic field (mT) level, operating within the safe range for brain magnetic therapy. During treatment, it can stimulate diseased brain tissue without damaging the physiological activities of normal brain tissue.
[0003] Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) caps generally consist of magnetic therapy heads and straps. There are two types: one with nine magnetic therapy heads and the other with six. Typically, a main magnetic therapy head is connected to the top of the head via a main unit cable. Sub-magnetic therapy heads are distributed around the main head via cables, and these sub-magnetic therapy heads are connected and secured with straps. In use, the main magnetic therapy head is placed on top of the head, then the sub-magnetic therapy heads are adjusted to their corresponding positions, and the straps are tightened. However, the human skull has an uneven shape, and the sub-magnetic therapy heads are distributed in various areas. After tightening the straps, the pressure exerted by the sub-magnetic therapy heads in different areas will vary, with some areas feeling relatively loose while others experience greater pressure, leading to discomfort in the pressure areas. Currently, TMS caps can only adjust the tightness by uniformly adjusting the straps; individual sub-magnetic therapy heads cannot be adjusted individually. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment cap that solves the problem of uneven distribution of the human skull shape, with auxiliary magnetic therapy heads distributed in various areas of the skull. After tightening the straps, the pressure exerted on the skull by the auxiliary magnetic therapy heads in different areas will vary, with some areas being relatively loose while others are under greater pressure, leading to discomfort in the pressure areas. Current TMS treatment caps can only adjust the tightness by uniformly adjusting the straps, and cannot adjust the tightness of individual auxiliary magnetic therapy heads.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment cap, comprising a main magnetic therapy head, a main wiring connection on one side of the main magnetic therapy head, secondary wiring connections equidistantly arranged around the side of the main magnetic therapy head, a secondary magnetic therapy head at the lower end of the secondary wiring connections, the output end of the main magnetic therapy head facing downwards, and the output ends of the secondary magnetic therapy heads all facing the lower center line of the main magnetic therapy head, a disc shell on the side of the secondary magnetic therapy head away from the lower center of the main magnetic therapy head, a through groove formed on the side of the disc shell, and a strap connecting the disc shells through the through groove, with straps on the upper and lower sides of the disc shells... An adjustment groove is provided. A screw is provided on the side of the auxiliary magnetic therapy head near the housing corresponding to the adjustment groove. Each screw passes through the housing and is threaded onto an adjustment gear plate inside the adjustment groove. An axial pressure gauge is provided on the side of the housing away from the auxiliary magnetic therapy head corresponding to the adjustment groove. The input end of the axial pressure gauge passes through the inside of the adjustment groove. A pressure head is provided on the side of the adjustment gear plate near the adjustment groove, and the pressure head is pressed against the input end of the adjustment groove. An adjuster is provided at the junction of the two ends of the strap. The adjuster includes symmetrically arranged clamping shells that clamp the ends of the strap on both sides. Bolts are fixed between the clamping shells.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when a certain auxiliary magnetic therapy head is too tight or too loose, the adjusting gear of the corresponding auxiliary magnetic therapy head can be turned. When the adjusting gear rotates, it is threadedly connected to the screw. The screw contracts slightly relative to the adjusting gear, and the screw drives the auxiliary magnetic therapy head to move, thereby adjusting the tightness of the auxiliary magnetic therapy head pressing on the head. The tightness of a single auxiliary magnetic therapy head can be adjusted individually, so that all auxiliary magnetic therapy heads can maintain a relatively stable and comfortable state.
[0007] To ensure the secondary magnetic therapy head is relatively stable relative to the straps;
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a knob is provided on the side of the disc shell away from the auxiliary magnetic therapy head, corresponding to the through groove thread, and the knob passes through the disc shell and contacts the strap.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the knob can tighten the strap, preventing the disc shell from sliding relative to the strap when worn, thus keeping the disc shell stable relative to the strap, and thereby making the auxiliary magnetic therapy head stable relative to the strap as a whole.
[0010] To enhance the focusing effect on the secondary magnetic therapy head;
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the strap is an elastic band.
[0012] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that it makes the strap itself elastic and constricting, thereby increasing the constriction effect on the secondary magnetic therapy head.
[0013] To prevent the straps from loosening relative to the adjuster;
[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the clamping shells are symmetrically provided with clamping racks on the sides that are close to each other.
[0015] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that the toothed rack bites the end of the strap tightly, making the strap less likely to loosen relative to the adjuster.
[0016] To increase the comfort of the secondary magnetic therapy head pressing against the skull;
[0017] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a silicone ring is provided on one side edge of the output end of the auxiliary magnetic therapy head.
[0018] The beneficial effect of this improvement is that it increases the comfort of the secondary magnetic therapy head pressing on the skull.
[0019] In order to keep the contact surface between the auxiliary magnetic therapy head and the skull relatively clean;
[0020] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: an absorbent cotton pad is provided on one side of the output end of the auxiliary magnetic therapy head.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the absorbent pad can absorb sweat and oil, and can be directly attached to the inside of the silicone ring for single or multiple use. When the absorbent pad gets dirty, it can be directly peeled off and replaced, which helps to keep the contact surface between the auxiliary magnetic therapy head and the head relatively clean.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description in this part is only exemplary and explanatory, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention in any way.
[0029] like Figure 1 — Figure 4As shown: A transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) cap includes a main magnetic therapy head 1. A main wiring 2 is connected to one side of the main magnetic therapy head 1. Secondary wiring 3 is equidistantly arranged around the side of the main magnetic therapy head 1. A secondary magnetic therapy head 4 is located at the lower end of the secondary wiring 3. The output end of the main magnetic therapy head 1 faces downwards, and the output ends of the secondary magnetic therapy heads 4 all face the lower center line of the main magnetic therapy head 1. A disc shell 5 is provided on the side of the secondary magnetic therapy head 4 away from the lower center of the main magnetic therapy head 1. A through groove is formed on the side of the disc shell 5. A strap 6 is threaded through the through groove between the disc shells 5. Adjustment grooves 8 are formed on both the upper and lower sides of the disc shell 5. A screw 7 is provided on the side of the secondary magnetic therapy head 4 near the disc shell 5 corresponding to the adjustment groove 8. Each screw 7 passes through the disc shell 5 and is threaded onto the inner side of the adjustment groove 8, with an adjusting gear 9. An axial pressure gauge 10 is located on the side of the disc shell 5 away from the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4, corresponding to the adjustment groove 8. The input end of the axial pressure gauge 10 extends into the inner side of the adjustment groove 8. A pressure head is located on the side of the adjusting gear 9 closest to the adjustment groove 8, and the pressure head is pressed against the input end of the adjustment groove 8. An adjuster 14 is located at the junction of the two ends of the strap 6. The adjuster 14 includes symmetrically arranged clamping shells 141, which clamp the ends of the strap 6 on both sides. Bolts 142 are fixed between the clamping shells 141. When one of the auxiliary magnetic therapy heads 4 is too tight or too loose, the adjusting gear 9 of the corresponding auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4 is adjusted. When the gear disc 9 rotates, it is threadedly connected to the screw 7. The screw 7 slightly contracts relative to the gear disc 9, causing the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4 to move. This adjusts the tightness of the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4 pressing against the head, allowing for individual adjustment of the tightness of each auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4. This ensures that all auxiliary magnetic therapy heads 4 maintain a relatively stable and comfortable state. A knob 11 is threaded into the slot on the side of the disc shell 5 away from the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4. The knob 11 passes through the disc shell 5 and contacts the strap 6. The knob 11 presses the strap 6 firmly, preventing the disc shell 5 from sliding relative to the strap 6 during wear, thus maintaining stability between the disc shell 5 and the strap 6. This, in turn, stabilizes the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4 relative to the strap 6. The strap 6 is an elastic band, giving it elasticity and... The clamping mechanism enhances the constriction effect on the secondary magnetic therapy head 4. The clamping shells 141 are symmetrically equipped with clamping teeth 143 on their adjacent sides. The clamping teeth 143 grip the end of the strap 6, preventing the strap 6 from easily loosening relative to the adjuster 14. A silicone ring 12 is provided on one side edge of the output end of the secondary magnetic therapy head 4 to increase comfort when pressing against the head. An absorbent cotton pad 13 is provided on one side of the output end of the secondary magnetic therapy head 4 to absorb sweat and oil. The absorbent cotton pad 13 can be directly attached to the inside of the silicone ring 12 for disposable or reusable use. When dirty, the absorbent cotton pad 13 can be easily removed and replaced to keep the contact surface between the secondary magnetic therapy head 4 and the head relatively clean.
[0030] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0031] In use, place the main magnetic therapy head 1 on the top of the head, and distribute the auxiliary magnetic therapy heads 4 around the head. Adjust the auxiliary magnetic therapy heads 4 to their corresponding positions on the head, adjust the positions of both ends of the strap 6, and then tighten the bolt 142. The strap 6 is clamped and fixed by the clamp 141, so that the strap 6 tightens the auxiliary magnetic therapy heads 4. When a certain auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4 is too tight or too loose, turn the adjusting gear 9 of the corresponding auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4. When the adjusting gear 9 rotates, it is threadedly connected to the screw 7. The adjusting gear 9 contracts slightly, causing the screw 7 to move the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4, thereby adjusting the tightness of the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4 pressing against the head. The tightness of each individual auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4 can be adjusted individually, ensuring all auxiliary magnetic therapy heads 4 maintain a relatively stable and comfortable state. Furthermore, a knob 11 is provided on the side of the disc shell 5 away from the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4, corresponding to the through-slot thread. The knob 11 passes through the disc shell 5 and contacts the strap 6, allowing the knob 11 to tighten the strap 6 and prevent excessive wear. The disc shell 5 slides relative to the strap 6, keeping the disc shell 5 stable relative to the strap 6, thereby stabilizing the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4 as a whole relative to the strap 6. Furthermore, the strap 6 is an elastic band, giving it elasticity and constricting properties, thus increasing the constricting effect on the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4. Additionally, symmetrically arranged clamping racks 143 are provided on the sides of the clamping shells 141 that are close to each other. The clamping racks 143 bite the ends of the strap 6, making it difficult for the strap 6 to loosen relative to the adjuster 14. Furthermore, the auxiliary magnetic therapy head 4... A silicone ring 12 is provided on one side edge of the output end to increase the comfort of the secondary magnetic therapy head 4 pressing against the head. In addition, an absorbent cotton pad 13 is provided on one side of the output end of the secondary magnetic therapy head 4. The absorbent cotton pad 13 can absorb sweat and oil. The absorbent cotton pad 13 can be directly attached to the inside of the silicone ring 12 for use as a disposable or reusable pad. When the absorbent cotton pad 13 gets dirty, it can be directly peeled off and replaced to keep the contact surface between the secondary magnetic therapy head 4 and the head relatively clean.
