Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and more specifically, to a radiofrequency therapy handpiece. Background Technology

[0002] Radiofrequency (RF) aesthetic technology uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves (typically between 0.3MHz and 10MHz) to penetrate the skin and act on the subcutaneous tissue. The RF energy generates a thermal effect in the tissue, causing collagen fibers in the skin to contract while simultaneously stimulating collagen regeneration, thereby achieving the effects of tightening the skin, reducing wrinkles, and improving skin texture. A traditional RF handpiece typically includes an electrode head that directly contacts the skin to deliver RF energy to the subcutaneous tissue, a PCB board for controlling the output power and frequency of the RF energy, and a support and housing for supporting and securing the handpiece.

[0003] In traditional designs, the electrode head is often fixed by directly soldering it to the PCB board. Although this design is simple, it is not convenient for maintenance and replacement. When the electrode head wears out or malfunctions, the entire handle may need to be sent back to the manufacturer for repair or replacement, which increases maintenance costs and time.

[0004] Although, considering the convenience of disassembly, the treatment head was not specifically developed to replace electrodes for different skin types or body parts. For example, utility model patent CN221266919U discloses a radio frequency handpiece, including a treatment unit; the treatment unit further includes an electrode head, a support, and a PCB board. The electrode head is electrically connected to the PCB board using conductive fasteners, and a support exists between the electrode head and the PCB board. The conductive fasteners ensure stable radio frequency supply to the target tissue.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a radiofrequency therapy handpiece, including a grip part 1, a connecting part 2, and a power output head 3; one end of the grip part 1 is connected to the main unit of the therapy instrument; the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting part 2; the connecting part 2 is connected to the power output head 3; the power output head 3 is provided with a PCB board containing radiofrequency electrode areas.

[0041] The grip 1 includes two symmetrically arranged main handle housings 101 and handle buttons 102; the handle buttons 102 are located in the middle of the main handle housings 101.

[0042] The main housing 101 of the handle is L-shaped. One end of the main housing 101 is provided with a semi-circular tube 1011 that connects to the connecting part 2, and the other end is provided with a screw-on connector 1012 for connecting to the power output head 3. The connection method of the semi-circular tube 1011 and the screw-on connector 1012 ensures a more secure connection between the handle and the main unit of the treatment instrument and the power output head 3, effectively preventing the connection from loosening or falling off during use and improving the stability of the grip.

[0043] The hand grip 1 adopts two symmetrically arranged L-shaped handle main shells 101, and the handle button 102 is located in the middle of the handle main shell 101. It conforms to the ergonomic design, so that the operator can better grip the handle when using it, making it easier for the operator to operate with one hand and improving the comfort of operation.

[0044] The power output head 3 also includes a treatment head accessory 301 and a protective cover 303; the PCB board is a flexible PCB board 302, and the treatment head accessory 301, flexible PCB board 302, and protective cover 303 are connected in sequence; the power output head 3 is mechanically fastened to the connecting part 2. The power output head 3 is available in different specifications and can be replaced according to user needs. The flexible PCB board 302 is in direct contact with the skin tissue, and radiofrequency energy is transmitted through the flexible PCB board 302. This design ensures that the radiofrequency energy can be effectively conducted to the target skin tissue, enhancing the effectiveness and precision of the treatment.

[0045] The top of the main housing 101 of the handle is also provided with an oval head 1013, which is connected to the semi-circular tube 1011. The oval head 1013 has an oval end face to facilitate the fixation of the handle and enhance the grip. The design of the oval head 1013 and the overall curvature of the handle make it easy for the operator to hold and operate; and the design of the oval end face makes it easy for the handle to be placed on the handle holder.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment discloses another radiofrequency treatment handpiece similar to that in embodiment 1, the difference being that it includes a grip part 1, a connecting part 2, and a power output head 3; one end of the grip part 1 is connected to the main unit of the treatment instrument; the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting part 2; the connecting part 2 is connected to the power output head 3; the power output head 3 is provided with a PCB board containing a radiofrequency electrode area.

[0048] The treatment head accessory 301 includes a top cuboid block 3011 and a base 3012. An inclined bracket 3013 is provided between the cuboid block 3011 and the base 3012. The bottom surface of the cuboid block 3011 is fixedly connected to the base 3012 via two inclined brackets 3013. The base 3012 has two strip-shaped through holes. Both ends of the flexible PCB board 302 pass through the strip-shaped through holes of the treatment head accessory 301 and are fixed to the treatment head accessory 301. A protective cover 303 is snapped into place with the treatment head accessory 301. The protective cover 303 effectively protects the internal flexible PCB board 302 and other components from external environmental influences or damage. Simultaneously, the snap-fit ​​connection makes the installation and removal of the protective cover 303 more convenient, facilitating equipment maintenance and cleaning.

[0049] The cube block 3011 is fixedly connected to the base 3012 by two inclined brackets 3013, forming a stable triangular structure. This increases the structural stability of the entire treatment power output head 3, ensuring that it will not easily deform or loosen during operation, thus improving the reliability and service life of the equipment. The base 3012 has two strip-shaped through holes, through which the two ends of the flexible PCB board 302 can pass and be fixed to the treatment head accessories. This facilitates the installation and fixation of the flexible PCB board 302, ensuring that it will not slide or shift during use, thereby guaranteeing the stable transmission of radio frequency energy. The design of the strip-shaped through holes not only facilitates the two ends of the flexible PCB board 302 to pass through and be fixed, but also improves the heat dissipation effect to a certain extent, helping to maintain the temperature stability of the treatment power output head 3 during treatment, preventing overheating, and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the treatment process.

[0050] The flexible PCB board 302 has a mesh surface 3021 in the RF electrode area; the mesh surface 3021 has several small through holes with a diameter d of 0.1mm-1.0mm. The thickness of the flexible PCB board 302 is 0.05mm-2mm.

[0051] The flexible PCB board 302 is made of single-sided brass material, with circuit printing on one side and an insulating ink layer on the other. The radio frequency electrode area on the circuit printing side has a honeycomb-like mesh surface, and the surface of the mesh surface is encapsulated with an epoxy resin potting compound that can directly contact the skin tissue of the treatment target. The honeycomb mesh design of the radio frequency electrode area of ​​the flexible PCB board 302, unlike traditional radio frequency microneedles, can achieve a more uniform and dotted coverage on human skin tissue. When radio frequency energy is output, it covers and enters the subcutaneous tissue in a mesh form to act on the target cells of the subcutaneous tissue. The output of radio frequency energy induces collagen production in the dermis, and the temperature of the target cells is increased by heating energy, while maintaining epidermal protection. This innovative combination of treatments, a non-invasive treatment method, can improve the treatment effect in a shorter time.

[0052] The treatment head accessory 301, flexible PCB board 302, and protective cover 303 are all designed in three sizes: 7*7mm, 15*15mm, and 30*30mm. The power output head 3, composed of these three components, is used for treatment. The 7*7mm power output head 3 can be applied to small areas of skin tissue on the face, such as around the eyes and lips; the 15*15mm power output head 3 can be applied to medium-sized areas of skin tissue, such as the arms and backs of the hands; and the 30*30mm power output head 3 can be applied to large areas of skin tissue, such as the thighs, abdomen, and buttocks. Operators can easily change the size of the power output head 3 according to the actual situation, improving convenience and allowing for flexible customization of treatment plans to meet different needs.

[0055] The main housing 101 of the handle is equipped with a control board for controlling the operation of the handle, and also has several connecting support ribs for locking and enhancing the physical strength of the handle; the left and right main housings 101 of the handle are connected by the connecting support ribs, and after the connection, the two semi-circular tubes 1011 form a circular tube interface; the left and right main housings 101 of the handle are tightly fitted by the connecting support ribs to form a stable overall structure, which improves the durability of the handle and prevents deformation or breakage during use.

[0056] The handle button 102 is equipped with a contact button 1021. Pressing the contact button 1021 controls the circuit connection between the contact button 1021 and the control motherboard inside the handle main housing 101. This design makes the operation more sensitive and precise, allowing the operator to easily control the radiofrequency treatment head to turn on and off via the button.

[0057] The grip part 1 is also provided with a fixed tail ring 103 that is fixedly connected to the round tube interface, and also includes a terminal fixing member 201 and a bottom terminal fixing member 202; one end of the terminal fixing member 201 is connected to the bottom terminal fixing member 202, and the other end is connected to the screw-type connector 1012.

[0058] The terminal fixing component 201 has two through holes 2011, and a pin is provided on the through hole 2011. After the wire passes through the round tube interface and enters the main housing 101 of the handle, it is electrically connected to one end of the pin on the through hole 2011.
