[0018] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The present invention provides a composite sound, light and electricity transcranial therapeutic device, which includes a neck support 2 arranged on a bed 1 and a head frame 3 connected to the bed and capable of supporting a patient's head. The middle part of the head frame is in a concave arc shape to fit the back half of the patient's head, and the concave bottom can be slightly higher than the bed, and the side bars of the head frame are higher than the bed. The neck support is arranged at the connection between the bed and the head frame to improve comfort; at the same time, the head frame can be connected into a frame structure using horizontal bars or vertical bars to reduce the occlusion of the back half of the patient's head area, which is conducive to transcranial treatment; a fixed shaft 4 is vertically provided on one side of the head frame, and cantilevers 5 that can rotate around the fixed shaft are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the fixed shaft, and a transcranial stimulation component 6 is connected to each cantilever, and two transcranial stimulation components are located on the upper and lower sides of the head frame. During the implementation process, one side of the head frame 3 is connected to an electric control box 7 for controlling the operation of the transcranial stimulation component. A mounting plate 71 is provided in the electric control box. The fixed shaft 4 is arranged on the mounting plate. Bearings 72 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the fixed shaft located on the mounting plate. The fixed shaft is connected to the corresponding cantilever through two bearings, so as to realize the rotation of the cantilever. Each cantilever can adopt a "Z"-shaped structure, one end of which is installed on the fixed shaft through a bearing, and the other end is connected to the transcranial stimulation component; at the same time, the rotation of the cantilever is positioned by a limiting device to move the transcranial stimulation component to a specified position. The limiting device, such as a rubber pad 73, is arranged between the bearing and the mounting plate to prevent the cantilever from rotating spontaneously by friction, so that it must apply a certain external force to rotate. Therefore, after the cantilever rotating through the bearing drives the corresponding transcranial stimulation component to move to the patient's head area on the head frame, the upper transcranial stimulation component can be selected to perform sound, light, and electricity combined treatment on the front half of the patient's head, or the lower transcranial stimulation component can be selected simultaneously to perform sound, light, and electricity combined treatment on the back half of the patient's head, thereby achieving stimulation treatment of all areas of the patient's head, and there is no need for the patient to adjust the head position, and it can be achieved in a normal lying position, thereby improving the convenience of treatment.

[0020] Preferably, each transcranial stimulation component 6 includes a phototherapy component 61, an electrical stimulation component 62 connected to the phototherapy component, and an ultrasonic stimulation component 63. The phototherapy component 61 is connected to the cantilever, so that the phototherapy component, the electrical stimulation component and the ultrasonic stimulation component are driven by the cantilever to move to the specified position together, so as to realize the composite stimulation therapy of sound, light and electricity. The electric control box of the present invention is provided with a control element 74 for controlling the operation of the phototherapy component, the electrical stimulation component and the ultrasonic stimulation component. The conductive wires, data wires, etc. for controlling the above-mentioned sound, light and electricity are respectively connected to their corresponding control elements, so as to realize the separate control of sound, light and electricity. During the implementation process, the electric control box is connected to the head frame through a detachable connector, such as by directly clamping the electric control box on the side rod of the head frame by setting a butterfly clip on the outer wall of the electric control box, or the two can be connected by bolt connection, so as to facilitate the separation of the electric control box and the head frame, and realize the split design of the bed and the transcranial stimulation component, so as to meet the installation requirements of beds in different positions and structures, and greatly improve the adaptability of the present invention.

[0021] Specifically, the phototherapy component 61 includes an arc-shaped rigid sheet 611 and a phototherapy module 612 for phototherapy arranged on the inner side of the rigid sheet. The electrical stimulation component 62 and the ultrasonic stimulation component 63 are connected to the two ends of the rigid sheet to connect the three into a whole and realize overall movement; wherein the rigid sheet has sufficient rigidity, which not only ensures the structural stability of the entire transcranial stimulation component, but also facilitates the installation of the electrical stimulation component and the ultrasonic stimulation component. An adjusting screw 613 is vertically arranged on the outer top of the rigid sheet, and a through hole 614 is opened on the cantilever. After the adjusting screw passes through the through hole, it is locked by two adjusting nuts 615 arranged on the upper and lower sides of the through hole. During the implementation process, the adjusting screw has a sufficient length to adjust the upper and lower positions of the transcranial stimulation component, that is, the other end of the cantilever is locked at different positions in the length direction of the adjusting screw by two adjusting nuts; at the same time, after the adjusting screw passes through the through hole, it can be rotated to a specified angle and then locked by two adjusting nuts, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the transcranial stimulation component. It can be seen that the present invention realizes the adjustment of the height and angle of the transcranial stimulation component through the above simple structure, thereby reducing the cost of the equipment.

[0022] During the implementation process, mounting seats 64 are respectively provided at both ends of the inner side of the rigid sheet 611, and the two mounting seats are correspondingly connected to the two ends of the arc-shaped guide rail 618. The phototherapy module 612 includes a slider 616 that can move along the guide rail and a light source 617 installed on the slider, so that the light source can be moved to a designated area through the guide rail and the slider to achieve precise phototherapy; at the same time, the light source can rotate relative to the slider, and a structure similar to the existing rotating camera can be used to realize multi-angle rotation of the light source, further improving the accuracy of phototherapy. The light source can use near-infrared light, and the near-infrared light with mild energy can be used to irradiate a wide range of brain areas. The irradiation is gentle and comfortable, and can widely reduce or even eliminate diffuse shallow lesions. For example, for Alzheimer's disease, it can reduce inflammatory mediators and reduce the deposition of Aβ plaques.

[0023] Preferably, the inner side of each mounting seat 64 is connected to an adjustment seat 66 through a spring 65, and the ultrasonic stimulation component 63 includes an elastic arc piece 631 and an ultrasonic stimulation member 632 mounted on the elastic arc piece and movable along the elastic arc piece, and the two ends of the elastic arc piece are respectively connected to the corresponding adjustment seat; wherein the ultrasonic stimulation member can adopt an existing ultrasonic stimulator, which generates sound pressure output and transmits ultrasonic waves to the head through an ultrasonic transmitting unit, so that the ultrasonic focal area covers the stimulation target area, and plays a targeted role in treating and improving the head area. During the implementation process, the two adjustment seats can clamp the head under the action of the spring, thereby positioning the elastic arc piece, and the elastic arc piece can adapt to the shape of the head, and the ultrasonic stimulation member can be moved to the designated area along the elastic arc piece through a sliding design, so as to achieve precise treatment of sound waves.

[0024] Specifically, each adjustment seat 66 is provided with a strip-shaped outer groove 661 for the elastic arc piece to swing, one end of the elastic arc piece is hinged in one of the strip-shaped outer grooves, and the other end of the elastic arc piece is inserted into another strip-shaped outer groove, and the two side walls in the other strip-shaped outer groove are provided with spring plates 8 that can press against the other end of the elastic arc piece. Therefore, on the one hand, the elastic force of the two spring plates can press against and limit the elastic arc piece to prevent it from sliding spontaneously; on the other hand, the length of the elastic arc piece on the head can be lengthened or shortened after overcoming the elastic force through the action of external force, so as to ensure that the ultrasonic stimulation part on the elastic arc piece is close to the treatment area of ​​the head; at the same time, the elastic arc piece can be swung through the strip-shaped outer groove to adjust the position of the ultrasonic stimulation part so that it is aligned with the treatment area of ​​the head to achieve the purpose of precise treatment.

[0025] Preferably, the electrical stimulation component 62 includes an elastic arc frame 621 and an electrical stimulation piece 622 mounted on the arc frame and movable along the arc frame, and the two ends of the arc frame are respectively connected to the corresponding adjustment seats. The electrical stimulation piece adopts an electrode sheet, and the electric field signal generated by the electrode sheet can efficiently focus sufficient energy to the deep target part, such as the hippocampus, so as to effectively act on neurons, regulate brain neural activity, and induce functional connection recovery between brain regions. During the implementation process, the inner sides of the two adjustment seats are provided with soft pads 67, such as sponge pads, to improve the comfort of clamping on the head; and the arc frame adapts to the shape of the head, and the electrical stimulation piece is moved to the designated area along the arc frame through the sliding design to achieve precise treatment.

[0026] Similarly, each adjustment seat 66 is provided with a strip inner groove 662 for the arc frame to swing, one end of the arc frame is hinged in one of the strip inner grooves, the other end of the elastic arc piece is inserted into another strip inner groove, and the two side walls in the other strip inner groove are provided with elastic pressing pieces 9 that can press against the other end of the arc frame. Thus, on the one hand, the elastic force of the two elastic pressing pieces can press against the arc frame to prevent it from sliding spontaneously; on the other hand, the length of the arc frame on the head can be lengthened or shortened after overcoming the elastic force by external force, so as to ensure that the electric stimulation piece on the arc frame is close to the treatment area of ​​the head; at the same time, the arc frame can be swung through the strip inner groove to adjust the position of the electric stimulation piece so that it is aligned with the treatment area of ​​the head, so as to achieve the purpose of precise treatment. Since one end of the arc frame and the elastic arc piece are both hinged and the other end is limited by elastic force, when swinging is required, the arc frame or the elastic arc piece can be pushed and pulled to overcome the elastic force to drive it to the specified position. After the external force is removed, the arc frame or elastic arc sheet can be kept fixed in the swinging position under the action of elastic force. The strip inner and outer grooves of the present invention are cleverly designed with elastic abutting sheets and spring sheets, and have simple and practical structure, convenient operation and low cost.

[0027] As can be seen from the above, the phototherapy component, electrical stimulation component, and ultrasonic stimulation component of the present invention can be controlled separately, the position can be adjusted separately, and the position can be adjusted in multiple directions, thus realizing precise composite treatment. Since phototherapy is a non-contact stimulation, it can be far away from the head, and it is designed as a rigid sheet structure with a larger external dimension, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the light; while the electrical stimulation component needs to contact the head, and it adopts an elastic structure with a smaller internal dimension, which can be attached to the brain. It can be seen that the layout of the present invention is reasonable and ingenious, the position adjustment is convenient, and the treatment is precise. During the implementation process, the phototherapy component, the electrical stimulation component, and the ultrasonic stimulation component can cooperate with each other to further improve the treatment effect. For example, the phototherapy component can cooperate with the electrical stimulation component, specifically using near-infrared light to widely irradiate the diffuse shallow diseased tissue to reduce the inflammatory mediators of Alzheimer's disease; at the same time, by attaching electrodes to the head, targeted and enhanced transcranial electrical stimulation can be performed on deep target areas such as the hippocampus, thereby realizing synergistic treatment.
