Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a head-mounted transcranial magnetic stimulation coil device. Background Art

[0002] The description of the background technology in the present invention belongs to the related technology related to the present invention, which is only used to illustrate and facilitate the understanding of the invention content of the present invention, and should not be understood as the applicant explicitly believes or inferred that the applicant believes that it is the prior art of the present invention on the filing date of the first application.

[0003] At present, when transcranial magnetic devices are used for treatment, the stimulation coil (weight over 1kg) is basically fixed with a universal bracket or handheld operation. The treatment time is more than 20 minutes, which will cause the following problems:

[0004] 1. During the patient's treatment, since the treatment time is 20 minutes, whether the patient holds the stimulation coil or is assisted by others, a certain amount of fatigue will occur. The longer the time, the less accurate the treatment.

[0005] 2. If a fixed stent is used, the cost is high and the stent is easily damaged after long-term use, which indirectly increases the patient's treatment costs, and the installation and replacement of the stent is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0006] 3. Whether it is handheld or bracket-assisted, the patient will inevitably move during the long treatment process. Due to the patient's deviation and movement, the treatment stimulation site will change and the treatment effect cannot be achieved. Summary of the invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a head-mounted transcranial magnetic stimulation coil device to solve the problem that the fixing method of the existing stimulation coil will affect the treatment effect.

The fixation between the limit block and the card slot is achieved by friction. This installation and fixing method is simple, and the installation / disassembly is carried out by rotation, which makes the operation more convenient. At the same time, the limit block and the card slot are positioned by the curved surface, which can effectively avoid the displacement of the stimulation coil or even its falling, thereby effectively ensuring the effectiveness of the treatment.

[0018] Furthermore, the mounting ring is provided with a plurality of connection blocks, and the fixing ring is in a multi-section type, and both ends of each section are detachably connected to adjacent connection blocks.

[0035] The principles and features of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] A head-mounted transcranial magnetic stimulation coil device comprises: a headgear 10 and a stimulation coil 20. The headgear 10 is in the shape of a soft hat, and the stimulation coil 20 comprises a shell 21, a coil arranged in the shell 21, and a socket 22 arranged on the shell 21, the socket 22 is electrically connected to the coil, and the bottom side of the shell 21 is bonded to the headgear 10 through an adhesive layer, and the bonding position corresponds to the patient's position to be treated, that is, the installation position 11, and by changing the bonding position, different positions of the patient to be treated can be treated.

[0038] In this embodiment, the adhesive layer is made of Velcro. Obviously, the adhesive layer can also be formed by adhesive materials such as glue, or bonding can be performed by electromagnetic adsorption.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] A head-mounted transcranial magnetic stimulation coil device comprises: a headgear 10 and a stimulation coil 20. The headgear 10 is provided with three mounting positions 11, which respectively correspond to three head positions of a patient to be treated, and the stimulation coil 20 is snap-fitted with the mounting positions 11 for treating the patient at different mounting positions 11. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of mounting positions 11 may also be 1, 2, 4, etc.

[0041] The headgear 10 includes a fixing ring 12 and a mounting ring 13. The diameter of the mounting ring 13 is smaller than that of the fixing ring. Three connecting blocks 16 are evenly arranged on the mounting ring 13. The fixing ring 12 is in three sections, and the two ends of each section are detachably connected to the adjacent connecting blocks 16. In this embodiment, the connection between the fixing ring 12 and the connecting blocks 16 is a detachable snap-on connection. Obviously, a detachable connection method such as bonding can also be used. In other embodiments of the present invention, the fixing ring 12 can also be an integral type, a two-section type, a four-section type, etc., and the number of connecting blocks 16 is adjusted according to the specific structure of the fixing ring 12.

[0042] The fixing ring 12 and the mounting ring 13 are of different sizes, and after being connected, a wearing space for wrapping the head is formed, and the inner sides of the fixing ring 12 and the mounting ring 13 are both facing the wearing space, which improves the comfort of the wearer. When the fixing ring 12 and the mounting ring 13 are worn on the patient's head, due to the small contact area with the head, the patient's head can be prevented from feeling stuffy during long-term treatment.

[0043] Each mounting position 11 on the mounting ring 13 is provided with an arcuate groove 14 facing the inner side of the mounting ring 13 , and arcuate grooves 15 are provided on the corresponding two sides of the arcuate groove 14 , and all the grooves 15 on each arcuate groove 14 are located on the same circumference.

The corresponding two sides of the shell 21 are respectively provided with limit blocks 23, which are arc-shaped and located on the same circumference. The limit blocks 23 cooperate with the card slot 15 to fix the stimulation coil 20. During installation, the limit block 23 extends from the end of the card slot 15 and slides in the card slot 15 until the limit block 23 is fully matched with the card slot 15. Under the action of friction, the limit block 23 is fixed in the card slot 15. Since the limit block 23 is directly selected into the card slot 15, the installation method of the stimulation coil 20 is simple and convenient, and the limit block 23 is positioned by the curved surface, which can effectively prevent the displacement of the stimulation coil 20 or even fall off, thereby effectively ensuring the effectiveness of the treatment.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cross section of the limit block 23 is T-shaped, the T-shaped tail of the limit block 23 is connected to the housing 21, and the T-shaped head of the limit block 23 is connected to the slot 15 (the cross section of the slot 15 is also T-shaped at this time). In order to increase the application range of the stimulation coil, the limit block 23 is provided with a through groove (not shown) along its extension direction, and bonding (Velcro bonding) is performed through the through groove.
