Furthermore, current heat dissipation solutions primarily rely on static cooling, lacking the ability to dynamically adjust based on actual temperature changes during treatment. Additionally, their temperature protection mechanisms are relatively simple and cannot comprehensively guarantee treatment safety. Utility Model Content

[0039] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides an intelligent heat dissipation shockwave therapy robot end effector 100, including a mounting housing 1, a cooling fan 2, a temperature sensor, an overheat switch, and a controller. A heat dissipation channel is formed within the mounting housing 1, and an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12 communicating with the heat dissipation channel are also provided on the mounting housing. A therapy working element 13 is housed within the heat dissipation channel. The cooling fan 2 is located within the heat dissipation channel to drive airflow within the mounting housing 1 to enter through the air inlet 11 and exit through the air outlet 12. The temperature sensor is located on the therapy working element 13 to detect the real-time temperature of the therapy working element 13. The overheat switch is located on the therapy working element 13 to control the therapy working element 13 to stop working when the temperature exceeds a safe level. The controller is electrically connected to the therapy working element 13, the cooling fan 2, and the temperature sensor, and the controller controls the cooling fan 2 to turn on or off for heat dissipation based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor.

[0040] This utility model provides an intelligent heat dissipation shockwave therapy robot end effector 100 for mounting on a therapy robot to provide physiotherapy treatment to a user. The intelligent heat dissipation shockwave therapy robot end effector 100 includes a mounting housing 1, within which a heat dissipation channel is formed. The physiotherapy working element 13 of the intelligent heat dissipation shockwave therapy robot end effector 100 is disposed within the heat dissipation channel. The heat dissipation channel connects to an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12. A cooling fan 2 drives airflow within the heat dissipation channel from the air inlet 11. The heat is introduced into the heat dissipation channel, where it exchanges heat with the physiotherapy working element 13 before being blown out from the air outlet 12. During use, the temperature of the physiotherapy working element 13 is detected by the temperature sensor. When the temperature rises and heat dissipation is required, the cooling fan 3 is activated to quickly remove the heat from the physiotherapy working element 13. When the temperature is too high, the physiotherapy working element 13 is shut off by the overheat switch to prevent high temperature and heat buildup on the end of the intelligent heat dissipation shockwave physiotherapy robot 100, which could damage the physiotherapy equipment or cause harm to the user.

[0041] It should be noted that the cooling fan can be implemented in various ways, such as a turbine fan or a centrifugal fan, as long as it can drive airflow, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0042] In addition, the controller can also be implemented in multiple ways, as long as it can control the heat dissipation device. For example, a PCB control board or control chip can be set inside the mounting housing or on an external computer or mobile terminal. As long as it can control the physiotherapy working element 13, the cooling fan 2 and the temperature sensor, no specific limitation is made here.

[0043] Similarly, the temperature sensor and the overheat switch can also be implemented in various ways. The temperature sensor can be an electronic sensor, and the overheat switch can be a resistance switch with increased resistance due to heat, or a disconnect switch that melts due to heat. No specific limitations are made here.

[0044] Furthermore, the mounting housing 1 has two oppositely arranged ends, including a therapeutic end and a heat dissipation end. The end face of the therapeutic end is used for the therapeutic working element to output power outwards. The air inlet 11 is located on the circumferential sidewall of the therapeutic end, and the air outlet 12 is located on the circumferential sidewall of the heat dissipation end. In this application, the therapeutic working element 13 outputs power outwards. The air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are respectively located at the two ends of the mounting housing 1, so that the airflow in the heat dissipation channel can flow through the therapeutic working element 13 to the maximum extent and flow out quickly, facilitating airflow exchange between the heat dissipation channel and the outside environment, improving the airflow heat dissipation effect in the mounting housing 1. At the same time, the air inlet 11 is located on the circumferential sidewall of the working end to prevent heat from being directly dissipated from the working end, affecting the user experience.

[0045] It should be noted that the physiotherapy end face of the mounting housing 1 is used for the physiotherapy working element 13 to output to the outside. In order to facilitate the output of the physiotherapy working element 13 to the outside, a physiotherapy port can be provided on the end face of the mounting housing 1, which is connected to the heat dissipation channel so as to facilitate the output of the physiotherapy working element to the outside.

[0046] Furthermore, a transparent cover can be provided at the physiotherapy port to protect the physiotherapy working element 13.

[0047] Furthermore, the cooling fan 2 is located on the side of the physiotherapy working element 13 near the air outlet. In this embodiment, the cooling fan 2 is located on the side of the air outlet 12. During use, the cooling fan 2 drives the airflow in the heat dissipation channel to flow out, creating a negative pressure in the heat dissipation channel. This causes the air inlet 11 to naturally draw air inward, preventing the heat from the cooling fan 2 from being transferred to the physiotherapy working element. At the same time, it can also dissipate heat from the cooling fan 2 itself. The airflow flows sequentially through the physiotherapy working element and the cooling fan 2, achieving synchronous internal heat dissipation and improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0048] In one embodiment provided by this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 Multiple air inlets 11 are provided, and the multiple air inlets 11 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting housing 1. This is to improve the air intake effect, and at the same time, circumferential air intake avoids the problem of uneven airflow caused by single-point air intake.

[0049] Similarly, multiple air outlets 12 are provided, and the multiple air outlets 12 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting housing 1. This is to improve the air outlet effect, and at the same time, the circumferential air outlet avoids the problem of heat accumulation caused by single-point air outlet.

[0050] It should be noted that the number of air inlets 11 and air outlets 12 mentioned above can be selected to exist, or they can exist simultaneously; no specific restrictions are imposed here.

[0051] In addition, the air inlet 11 and / or the air outlet 12 are elongated to increase the range of air intake or exhaust, improve the air intake or exhaust effect, and avoid the formation of excessive pressure at the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12.

[0052] In addition, the physiotherapy working element 13 includes a shock wave generator; the temperature sensor is located on the outer wall of the shock wave generator; the overheat switch is located inside the shock wave generator. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor detects the temperature on the outside of the shock wave generator. During the cooling process of the cooling fan, the heat is mainly carried away from the outside of the shock wave generator. Therefore, when the temperature of the outer wall of the shock wave generator is too high, the cooling fan is used to cool it down. At the same time, there is a certain temperature difference between the inside and outside of the physiotherapy working element 13, and the internal temperature is higher. In order to avoid overheating and damage to the internal components during use, the overheat switch is located inside the shock wave generator. When the internal temperature is too high, the electrical connection of the shock wave generator is directly disconnected, thereby protecting the shock wave generator. In this embodiment, the shock wave generator is protected step by step through two methods, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0053] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, when the temperature of the outer wall of the shock wave generator is greater than the first preset temperature (50°C), the cooling fan is turned on; when the temperature inside the shock wave generator is higher than the second preset temperature (100°C), the shock wave generator is turned off.

[0054] Furthermore, when the temperature inside the shock wave generator is higher than the third preset temperature (70°C), the power of the shock wave generator is reduced.

[0055] On the other hand, please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5The mounting housing 1 includes a lower housing 14, a transition housing 15, and an upper housing 16. The lower housing 14 has a lower mounting groove. The transition housing 15 has a mounting channel with openings at both ends, and is mounted to the lower housing 14. One end of the mounting channel corresponds to the lower mounting groove. The upper housing 16 has an upper mounting groove, and is mounted to the transition housing 15. The upper mounting groove corresponds to the opening at the other end of the mounting channel. The lower mounting groove, the mounting channel, and the lower mounting groove together form the heat dissipation channel. In this embodiment, the mounting housing 1 is formed by the lower housing 14, the transition housing 15, and the upper housing 16 together, which facilitates assembly. The separate configuration facilitates the installation of the physiotherapy working element into the heat dissipation channel.

[0056] In addition, the intelligent heat dissipation shockwave therapy robot end effector 100 also includes a sleeve 3, which is fitted over the mounting housing 1 to protect the mounting housing 1. In this embodiment, the sleeve 3 is fitted over the mounting housing 1 to prevent the mounting housing 1 from developing collision cracks during installation and use, which could lead to airflow leakage in the heat dissipation channel and prevent the generation of a stable airflow to dissipate heat from the therapy working components.

[0057] In this embodiment, the sleeve 3 shields the position of the transition shell 15.

[0058] On the other hand, an electrical connection port 17 is also provided on the outer wall of the mounting housing 1, and the electrical connection port 17 is electrically connected to the physiotherapy working element 13. In this embodiment, the physiotherapy working element 13 is connected through the electrical connection port 17 to facilitate electrical connection with external control systems, etc. It only requires connection to the electrical connection port, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0059] It should be noted that the electrical connection port 17 is an aviation interface with 16 terminals. As long as it can achieve quick plug-in and unplugging, there are many implementation methods, and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0060] In the intelligent heat dissipation shockwave therapy robot end effector 100 provided by this utility model, the therapy working element is a shockwave generator, which provides shockwaves to the human body for therapy.

[0061] Based on the aforementioned intelligent heat dissipation shockwave therapy robot end effector, this utility model also provides a therapy robot, including the aforementioned intelligent heat dissipation shockwave therapy robot end effector 100, that is, it has all the technical features of the aforementioned intelligent heat dissipation shockwave therapy robot end effector 100, and therefore also has the technical effects brought about by all the aforementioned technical features, which will not be elaborated here.

[0062] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
