However, those skilled in the art can effortlessly realize that some of the features can be omitted in different situations, or can be replaced by other elements, materials, methods.

This is to avoid the core part of the present application being overwhelmed by too much description. For those skilled in the art, it is not necessary to describe these related operations in detail. They can fully understand the related operations based on the description in the specification and the general technical knowledge in this area.

[0040] In addition, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specification may be combined in any appropriate manner to form various embodiments. Furthermore, the steps or actions in the method description may be reordered or adjusted in a manner readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various sequences in the specification and drawings are provided solely for the purpose of clearly describing a particular embodiment and are not intended to be mandatory, unless otherwise specified.

[0041] Component numbers used herein, such as "first" and "second," are used solely to distinguish the components being described and do not convey any sequential or technical meaning. References to "connection" and "coupling" herein, unless otherwise specified, include both direct and indirect connections (couplings).

[0042] See also Figures 1 to 7 One embodiment provides a shock wave therapy device, which can be controlled by the patient according to his or her own physical reaction to achieve self-help adjustment of the treatment position or treatment angle, thereby achieving the effect of self-help treatment; the device includes a support device, a drive device 10, a shock wave source 20, a control device 30, a limit device, a high-voltage pulse device 40 and other functional components that exist as needed, which are described in detail below.

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 4 The support device is primarily used to provide support for the patient's body, enabling them to maintain a sitting, lying, or other posture on the device. It also provides structural assembly space for the device's other functional components, thereby forming the entire device. A clearance space a is provided on the support device facing the patient's treatment area, and the shock wave source 20 is disposed within the clearance space a and electrically connected to the high-voltage pulse device 40. This allows the shock wave source 20 to face the patient's treatment area in a non-contact manner and, under the action of the high-voltage pulse device 40, deliver shock waves to the treatment area.

[0044] For example, when the support device is configured as a chair-type structure for a patient to sit or lie down, the avoidance space a may be a hollow structure provided in the area of the support device facing the patient's perineum; when the support device is configured as a bed-type structure for a patient to lie down, the avoidance space a may be a hole or window structure provided in the area of the support device facing the patient's shoulders and neck.

[0045] See also Figures 1 to 4The drive device 10 is fixedly mounted on the support device, for example, vertically positioned below the avoidance space a. The power end of the drive device 10 is coupled to a shock wave source 20 to drive the shock wave source 20 to move and remain within the avoidance space a relative to the support device (or the patient's area to be treated). This allows shock wave therapy to be applied to different areas within the patient's area to be treated and / or to the same area within the area to be treated from different angles by adjusting the treatment angle or orientation of the shock wave. The drive device 10 can be configured with reference to existing basic structural architectures and motion principles, such as multi-degree-of-freedom motion mechanisms, to enable the shock wave source 20 to perform translational and / or rotational motion in multiple dimensions.

[0046] For example, the driving device 10 is a six-degree-of-freedom motion mechanism, the free end of which is coupled to the shock wave source 20, so that the shock wave source 20 can move linearly along the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions of the coordinate system based on a Cartesian coordinate system and rotate around the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis directions, so that the shock waves provided by the shock wave source 20 can obtain a larger treatment range or more treatment angles (see for details). Figure 6 and Figure 7 ).

[0047] See also Figures 1 to 4 The control device 30 is electrically connected to the drive device 10 and is mainly used to provide support for the patient to operate the equipment so as to perform self-service shock wave therapy. Specifically, the patient can input corresponding command information (such as the angle at which the shock wave source 20 provides the shock wave, the movement path of the shock wave source 20 in the avoidance space 10, etc.) through the control device 30 according to the somatosensory reaction generated when the shock wave acts on the area to be treated, so that the control device 30 controls the drive device 10 to drive the shock wave source 20 to move in response to the command information, so that the shock wave provided by the shock wave source 20 to the area to be treated can ultimately act on the patient's desired target part (it should be noted that the target part refers to a specific part or position within the patient's area to be treated), thereby achieving the purpose of shock wave therapy.

[0048] During specific implementation, the control device 30 is functionally configured with reference to the existing technology. For example, the control device 30 can be constructed by combining a storage module, a control module and an interaction module, wherein the storage module is mainly used to store preset information including the motion trajectory of the shock wave source 20 and the power output mode of the drive device 10, and the control module is mainly used to control the drive device 10 to execute the corresponding mode according to the input command information; the interaction module may include a display, function buttons, etc., which are mainly used to display the status of the device, operation instructions, etc. through text, images, etc.; during specific implementation, the interaction module can establish an electrical connection relationship with the drive device 10 and the high-voltage pulse device 40 respectively through the control module, so that the patient can input corresponding command information with the help of the interaction module, such as relevant command information for controlling the drive device 10 to drive the shock wave source 20 to move, and relevant command information for controlling the high-voltage pulse device 40 to regulate the frequency and intensity of the shock wave provided by the shock wave source 20.

[0049] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The limiting device is provided on the supporting device and is specifically located in the avoidance space a, and the shock wave source 20 is provided on the limiting device in a movable manner; by means of the limiting device, the movement trajectory or movement range of the shock wave source 20 is limited, so as to ensure that the shock wave source 20 can move smoothly and precisely to a preset spatial position (that is, the spatial position of the shock wave source 20 in the avoidance space a or on the limiting device corresponding to when the shock wave provided by it can act on the target part desired by the patient).

[0050] For one example, see Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The limiting device includes a hemispherical limiting cup 50, the bottom end of which is fixed to a position of the support device below the avoidance space a, so that the cup mouth of the limiting cup 50 can face the patient's treatment area. Correspondingly, the shock wave source 20 is movably arranged at the center of the bottom of the limiting cup 50. For example, the shock wave source 20 and the limiting cup 50 can be movably connected via a spherical secondary structure. Thus, by selecting and configuring the specific structure of the driving device 10 and utilizing the structural coordination between the shock wave source 20 and the limiting cup 50, the driving device 10 can respond to the control device 30 and drive the shock wave source 20 to rotate relative to the limiting cup 50 about the geometric center of the limiting cup 50. For example, the shock wave source 20 can rotate within a certain angle range about the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis of a Cartesian coordinate system established or defined with the geometric center of the limiting cup 50 as the origin.

[0051] In a specific implementation, the shock wave source 20 may include a self-focusing electromagnetic shock wave generator, see Figure 5 and Figure 7 The self-focusing electromagnetic shock wave generator typically includes a base 21, an electromagnetic coil 22, and a metal diaphragm 23 arranged in sequence. The side of the base 21 facing the electromagnetic coil 22, together with the electromagnetic coil 22 and the metal diaphragm 23, forms a spherical crown structure or a concave dish structure with a consistent curvature. The electromagnetic coil 22 is electrically connected to the high-voltage pulse device 40, and the base 21 is movably connected to the limiting cup 50 and coupled to the power end of the drive device 10. The pulsed high voltage input from the high-voltage pulse device 40 causes the metal diaphragm 23 to vibrate periodically, generating shock waves, and the vibration energy converges at the intersection of the generator (i.e., the focus of the shock wave energy). Therefore, through the cooperation of the control device 30 and the drive device 10, the patient can self-regulate the focus position of the shock wave according to their own physical response, so that the shock wave can ultimately act on the patient's desired target area.

[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, other suitable matching structures may be adopted between the shock wave source 20 and the limiting cup body 50 according to the specific structural configuration of the driving device 10, the number of degrees of freedom of movement of the shock wave source 20, and the form of movement, etc. The shock wave source 20 may also adopt, for example, a reflective shock wave generator; all these will not be elaborated here.

[0053] Based on this, with the help of the driving device 10, the shock wave source 20 is arranged on the support device in a manner that it can move relative to the support device or the patient. When the patient is sitting, lying or lying on the support device, the patient can input corresponding command information through the control device 30 according to his or her own body sensory response to adjust the spatial position or azimuth angle of the shock wave source 20, so that the shock wave provided by the shock wave source 20 can eventually act on the target part desired by the patient.

[0054] On the one hand, it is convenient for patients to perform shock wave treatment by themselves, effectively reducing the intervention of auxiliary personnel, which not only can achieve better treatment effects, but also creates favorable conditions for expanding the application scenarios of the equipment; on the other hand, patients can self-regulate the shock wave source 20 according to their own somatosensory reactions, which can not only accurately perform shock wave treatment on the diseased part or area, but also obtain greater treatment freedom and meet treatment needs, such as achieving the effect of shock wave treatment on different parts or the same part from multiple angles.

[0055] In one embodiment, the support device or the entire device has a substantially similar outline to a bicycle seat structure, and the patient can sit on the treatment device in a forward-leaning straddle position to perform shock wave therapy on the patient's perineum. Figures 1 to 4 The support device includes a chassis assembly 60, a handle assembly 70, and a seat assembly. The chassis assembly 60 primarily serves as a carrier for the entire device, allowing it to be positioned within the treatment area. Alternatively, by configuring the chassis assembly 60 with rollers, the device can be moved and repositioned within the treatment area. The high-voltage pulse device 40 and the drive device 10 are vertically positioned sequentially above the chassis assembly 60, while the shock wave source 20 is vertically positioned above the drive device 10 (i.e., on the side of the drive device 10 facing away from the chassis assembly 60).

[0056] The grip assembly 70 is mainly used for the patient to hold when sitting on the equipment. The grip assembly 70 is connected to the chassis assembly 60 and is arranged on one side of the drive device 10 along the first horizontal direction (for example, taking the patient as the reference object, the grip assembly 70 is arranged in the front-to-back direction on the front side of the drive device 10 or the patient); the control device 30 is arranged on the grip assembly 70 and is electrically connected to the drive device 10 and the high-voltage pulse device 40 respectively, so that during the treatment process, the patient can use the control device 30 to control the treatment equipment (specifically, the drive device 10, the high-voltage pulse device 40, etc.), to adjust the spatial position or orientation of the shock wave source 20, and to regulate the frequency and intensity of the shock wave by controlling the high-voltage pulse device 40.

[0057] The seat assembly is connected to the chassis assembly 12, and is mainly used to provide structural support for the patient to sit; the seat assembly includes two support cushions 80 arranged on the upper side of the drive device 10 in the vertical direction, and the two support cushions 80 are symmetrically spaced about the shock wave source 20 along a second horizontal direction intersecting with the first horizontal direction (for example, the two support cushions 80 are symmetrically spaced along the left and right directions); on the one hand, the structural gap between the two support cushions 80 is utilized to construct an avoidance space a on the support device or equipment, and on the other hand, the support cushions 80 support the patient's buttocks to stretch the patient's perineum, so that the perineum is exposed to the shock wave source 20, so that the shock wave provided by the shock wave source 20 can act on any position of the perineum, thereby realizing self-help shock wave treatment of the perineum.

[0058] In other embodiments, the high-voltage pulse device 40 can also be set at other locations, for example, independently of the equipment or the support device and the control device 30, so that the patient can only adjust the spatial position of the shock wave source 20 or the treatment angle of the shock wave to meet different treatment needs.

[0059] It should be noted that, based on the differences in the overall structure of the support device or the device, in some embodiments, the control device 30 can be set at a position that is convenient for the patient to operate according to actual conditions; for example, when the device as a whole adopts a bed-type structure and the patient performs self-treatment in a lying position, the control device 30 can be arranged on the side facing the patient; in this case, the chassis assembly 60 and the handle assembly 70 can be omitted, or the structures of the two can be adaptively adjusted, and the two support cushions 80 are arranged on opposite sides of the avoidance space a, so that the support cushions 80 provide support for the patient's body parts adjacent to the area to be treated, so that the area to be treated can be exposed to the shock wave source 20, for example, the patient's perineum can be stretched and exposed to the shock wave source 20. All these details are not elaborated here.

[0060] For one example, see Figures 1 to 4 The chassis assembly 60 includes a load-bearing chassis 61 and a lifting mechanism 62. The lifting mechanism 62, which can be, for example, a hydraulic lifting mechanism, is vertically mounted on the load-bearing chassis 61. The high-voltage pulse device 40 and the handle assembly 70 are both fixedly connected to the load-bearing chassis 61, while the drive device 10 and the seat assembly are mounted on the lifting mechanism 62. Thus, the height of the seat assembly (together with the drive device 10 and shock wave source 20) can be adjusted vertically using the lifting mechanism 62 to accommodate patients with varying physiological conditions and enhance comfort during use.

[0061] It should be noted that Figure 4 The area framed by the dotted line represents the approximate location or area of the avoidance space a on the treatment equipment. Figure 6 The dotted line with an arrow in the figure represents the approximate rotation direction of the shock wave source 20 in the limiting cup 50. Figure 5 and Figure 7 The solid dots in FIG. 5 represent the focal positions of the shock waves provided by the shock wave source 20 .

[0062] Based on the shock wave therapy device of the above embodiment, the present application also provides a method for using the device. Specifically, the shock wave therapy device can be functionally configured according to the method, or the patient can use the shock wave therapy device for self-treatment based on the method; please refer to Figure 8 and combined Figures 1 to 7 The method of use includes steps 100 to 400, which will be described in detail below.

[0063] In step 100 , the control device 30 obtains a first instruction provided by the patient.

[0064] Specifically, the patient sits or lies on a support device (for example, sitting on a seat assembly) so that the area to be treated (for example, the perineum) is within the range of action of the shock wave; then the patient can use the interactive module to input a first instruction to the control device 30 (for example, an instruction to start the shock wave source 20 to output shock waves).

[0065] In step 200 , the control device 30 controls the shock wave source 20 to provide shock waves to the area to be treated of the patient in response to the first instruction.

[0066] Specifically, the control device 30 (specifically, a control module) activates the shock wave source 20 according to the acquired first instruction to provide shock waves to the area to be treated, so that the patient can clearly feel the specific location where the shock waves act.

[0067] In step 300 , the control device 30 obtains a second instruction provided by the patient that is different from the first instruction.

[0068] In step 400 , the control device 30 controls the driving device 10 in response to the second instruction to drive the shock wave source 20 to move relative to the support device, so that the shock wave provided by the shock wave source 20 acts on the intended target part of the patient.

[0069] Specifically, when the patient perceives that the actual site of the shock wave is different from the target site desired by the patient, the patient can input a second instruction to the control device 30. The second instruction can be understood as a related instruction to drive the shock wave source 20 to move relative to the support device. The second instruction can be an electrical signal received by the control device 30, or an operation action applied by the patient to the control device 30, depending on the function and structure of the control device 30 itself; for example, the control device 30 can obtain the second instruction input by the patient based on the interactive module configured therein, thereby controlling the drive device 10 to drive the shock wave source 20 to move relative to the support device or the patient, and ultimately enable the shock wave to act on the patient's desired site; for another example, the patient can mechanically manipulate the control device 30 to enable the control device 30 to obtain the second instruction, thereby adjusting the spatial position of the shock wave source 20 in a mechanically manipulated manner, so that the shock wave source ultimately acts on the patient's desired site.

[0070] In summary, when patients use this device for self-treatment, they can sense the actual location of the shock wave, and then adjust and control the range and location of the shock wave through their own somatosensory reactions, thereby achieving the purpose of precise treatment.

[0071] The above examples are used to illustrate the present invention, which are only used to help understand the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make several simple deductions, modifications or substitutions based on the concept of the present invention.
