Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of millimeter wave therapy device technology, and mainly relates to a millimeter wave therapy device shell. Background Technology

[0002] The basic principles of millimeter wave therapy include bioresonance, non-thermal effects, distance effects, and time-cumulative effects.

[0003] Bioresonance, in particular, involves millimeter waves whose frequencies are similar to the vibration frequencies of human cell membranes. This allows them to resonate with water molecules and protein molecules within cells, enhancing cell metabolism and signal transduction, thereby producing a series of biological effects such as promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, and promoting tissue repair.

[0004] Non-thermal effects: Low-power, extremely high-frequency millimeter-wave electromagnetic waves cause strong coherent oscillations with human tissue cells, without producing a significant increase in tissue temperature, but can promote the self-repair of human tissues, accelerate cell metabolism, enhance cell permeability, and restore nutrient conversion and metabolism to normal.

[0005] Distant effect: The human body has a high absorption rate of millimeter waves. After millimeter waves resonate with human cells and molecules, they can be conducted and amplified through the nervous, body fluid and meridian systems, affecting organs and tissues far from the irradiated area.

[0006] Cumulative effect over time: The therapeutic effect of millimeter waves gradually increases with the extension of treatment time and the number of irradiation courses.

[0007] Furthermore, the People's Republic of China Medical Industry Standard (YY 0898-2013) defines "millimeter wave therapy equipment" as medical devices that utilize electromagnetic waves in the 30GHz-300GHz frequency band (wavelength 1mm-10mm) to treat diseases through radiation irradiation with non-thermal effects. The frequency error should not exceed ±5% of the nominal value. This equipment generally includes a main unit (including a control panel and circuit unit) and a radiator (a directional radiating antenna).

[0008] To ensure user safety and protect the internal components of the device, millimeter wave therapy devices typically require a casing to prevent electromagnetic radiation leakage, avoid the risk of electric shock, and isolate high temperatures or mechanical damage. At the same time, it must prevent dust, moisture, liquids, or corrosive gases from entering the device, thus avoiding these substances from causing oxidation, short circuits, or performance degradation to the circuit boards and electronic components.

[0009] Existing casings are usually one-piece molded, but they are not easy to disassemble and repair when there is a malfunction inside the millimeter wave therapy device. Utility Model Content

[0010] This utility model provides a casing for a millimeter-wave therapy device to solve the problem in the prior art where the casing is integrally molded, making it difficult to disassemble and repair the device when it malfunctions.

[0011] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A millimeter wave therapy device housing includes a frame, a first housing with an opening at the upper end is fitted onto the lower end of the frame, a second housing located above the first housing is fitted onto the outer side of the frame, and a third housing with an opening at the lower end is fitted onto the upper end of the frame, with the third housing located above the second housing. The outer side of the third housing is used to house the control panel, while the frame is used to house the circuit units and radiators.

[0012] It has the following advantages: the outer shell is divided into three independent parts: the first outer shell, the second outer shell, and the third outer shell, rather than being molded as one piece. Each outer shell is fixed to the frame by a sleeve. When a certain area fails, only the corresponding outer shell needs to be removed, without disassembling the entire device.

[0013] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a storage space with a side opening, and the second outer shell is provided with a clearance opening in the direction corresponding to the opening of the storage space.

[0014] It has the following beneficial effects: The internal frame has a storage space with side openings, which can be used to store equipment accessories, manuals or small tools. Medical staff or users can directly store frequently used items on the equipment to avoid loss of accessories or extra storage; the second shell has a clearance opening corresponding to the storage space opening, so that items can be retrieved or placed without disassembling the second shell, and the operation can be completed directly through the clearance opening, which shortens the retrieval time and improves the efficiency of use.

[0015] Furthermore, the frame is provided with a seal for closing the storage space, with one side of the seal hinged to the frame and the other side detachably fixed to the second outer shell.

[0016] It has the following beneficial effects: after the seal is closed, it can completely cover the opening of the storage space, and form a closed space through the dual constraints of the hinged side and the detachable fixed side.

[0017] Furthermore, the second housing is provided with heat dissipation holes for the corresponding circuit units.

[0018] It has the following beneficial effects: the heat dissipation holes are directly corresponding to the circuit unit layout position, and the heat generated by the circuit unit operation is discharged through the heat dissipation holes.

[0019] Furthermore, the first outer shell is fixed to the base, and the base is provided with multiple rollers.

[0020] It has the following advantages: a single person can push the equipment, avoiding the trouble of having to carry it by multiple people when using a traditional fixed base.

[0021] Furthermore, the skeleton is formed by fixing multiple sheet metal parts together.

[0022] Furthermore, the first shell, the second shell, and the third shell are made of plastic or metal.

[0023] Furthermore, there is a gap between the first housing and the second housing. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a millimeter-wave therapy device housing includes a frame 9, with a first outer shell 1, open at the top, fitted onto the lower end of the frame 9. A second outer shell 2, located above the first outer shell 1, is fitted onto the outer side of the frame 9. A gap exists between the first outer shell 1 and the second outer shell 2. In this embodiment, the gap is 10 mm wide, thus creating a staggered sense of layering.

[0027] The upper end of the frame 9 is fitted with a third outer shell 3, which has an opening at the lower end. The third outer shell 3 has an opening at the lower end but no opening at the upper end. The third outer shell 3 is located above the second outer shell 2. The first outer shell 1, the second outer shell 2, and the third outer shell 3 are all fixed to the frame 9.

[0028] The outer side of the third housing 3 is used to house the control panel 4, and the frame 9 is used to house the circuit unit 12 and the radiator 5. When the third housing 3 is installed on the frame 9, an installation space is formed between the second housing 2, the third housing 3, and the frame 9, and the circuit unit 12 is arranged within the installation space. The radiator 5 passes through the second housing 2 and is fixed to the frame 9.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first outer shell 1, the second outer shell 2, and the third outer shell 3 are made of plastic, which facilitates the formation of components in various colors and allows for easy color matching. By adding color masterbatch to the plastic raw material, a solid-color outer shell can be obtained in one molding process without additional spraying. Plastic outer shells can achieve gradient colors or patterns through processes such as screen printing, pad printing, and water transfer printing, while metal outer shells require etching and spraying, which are complex and costly.

[0030] Plastic has a density only 1 / 3 to 1 / 5 that of metal, reducing the overall weight of the device. Combined with the base and casters, it is easier to move, reducing the burden on medical staff. The metal outer shell has a much higher modulus of elasticity than plastic, protecting the delicate internal components.

[0031] In other embodiments, the first outer shell 1, the second outer shell 2, and the third outer shell 3 are made of metal. Metal has higher tensile strength than plastic, making it suitable for high-frequency movement scenarios such as industrial handling and medical carts.

[0032] The thermal conductivity of metal is much higher than that of plastic, allowing heat from the circuit unit 12 to be quickly conducted to the outer casing. Furthermore, the metal casing can be used directly as a heatsink, eliminating the need for an additional heatsink module. The thermal diffusivity of the metal casing also ensures more even heat distribution, preventing localized overheating.

[0033] The metal casing forms a complete Faraday cage, preventing interference with medical equipment or base station signals. Grounding the metal casing allows for rapid dissipation of static electricity, preventing damage to circuit unit 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, the outer casing is divided into three independent components: a first outer casing 1, a second outer casing 2, and a third outer casing 3, rather than being a single piece. Each outer casing is fixed to the frame 9 via a sleeve connection. When a fault occurs in a certain area, only the corresponding outer casing needs to be removed, without disassembling the entire device.

[0035] The frame 9 serves as the internal support structure, providing independent fixing points for the three outer shells. Each outer shell is secured to the frame 9 using clips, screws, or other methods, with no rigid connection between them. Disassembling one outer shell will not affect the installation status of the other shells, avoiding structural damage caused by overall disassembly.

[0036] The second housing 2, the third housing 3, and the frame 9 form an installation space where the circuit unit 12 is located, while the control panel 4 is located on the outside of the third housing 3. If there is a circuit failure, the circuit unit 12 can be accessed by directly disassembling the third housing 3 without touching other components; if the control panel 4 malfunctions, the panel assembly on the outside of the third housing 3 can be directly disassembled, greatly improving maintenance efficiency.

[0037] The radiator 5 is fixed to the frame 9 through the second outer shell 2, and its installation position is directly related to the second outer shell 2. When the radiator 5 needs to be adjusted or replaced, only the second outer shell 2 needs to be removed to directly contact the fixing point of the radiator 5, avoiding the problem of the radiator 5 being completely wrapped and difficult to disassemble in the traditional one-piece molded shell.

[0038] The opening direction of the third outer casing 3 ensures ease of disassembly while maintaining the equipment's airtightness through structures such as sealing rings and buckles, preventing dust or liquid intrusion and balancing maintainability and safety.

[0039] The frame 9 not only serves as a supporting structure, but also provides an installation reference for the circuit unit 12 and the radiator 5, so that the positions of each functional module are relatively fixed, ensuring the accuracy when reinstalling after disassembly and avoiding component misalignment caused by disassembly and reassembly.

[0040] The frame 9 has a storage space 10 with a side opening, which is used to place items. The second outer shell 2 has a clearance opening 11 in the direction corresponding to the opening of the storage space 10, which facilitates the entry and exit of items located in the storage space 10.

[0041] The frame 9 has a side-opening storage space 10 inside, which can be used to store equipment accessories, instruction manuals, or small tools. Medical staff or users can directly store frequently used items on the equipment, avoiding the loss of accessories or the need for extra storage. The second outer shell 2 has a clearance opening 11 corresponding to the opening of the storage space 10, forming a straight path. When retrieving or placing items, there is no need to disassemble the second outer shell 2; the operation can be completed directly through the clearance opening 11, shortening the retrieval time and improving the efficiency of use.

[0042] The clearance opening 11 is only located at the position of the storage space 10 corresponding to the second outer shell 2, and the second outer shell 2 can still be disassembled independently. The design of the storage space 10 and the clearance opening 11 does not damage the fixed structure of the second outer shell 2, and the radiator 5 and other components can still be accessed normally when the second outer shell 2 is disassembled, maintaining the original convenience of maintenance.

[0043] The storage space 10 is located inside the frame 9 and is formed by an opening on the side of the frame 9. Its structure is independent of the installation space of the circuit unit 12 and the radiator 5. The storage of items does not occupy the installation space of the circuit or the radiator 5, thus avoiding damage to internal components due to compression caused by the placement of items.

[0044] The storage space 10 is integrated within the device frame 9, eliminating the need for additional external storage boxes and maintaining the overall compact design of the device. In medical settings or home environments, the device has a cleaner appearance, reducing the space it occupies on desktops or cabinets.

[0045] The storage space 10 is located inside the frame 9 and is accessed through the clearance opening 11 of the second shell 2. The storage of items is somewhat concealed, while avoiding external collisions or dust accumulation.

[0046] The clearance opening 11 is designed at the front of the device, which is ergonomic and makes it easy for users to reach for items while standing or sitting.

[0047] The frame 9 is provided with a seal 6 for closing the storage space 10 to prevent items from being lost from the storage space 10. One side of the seal 6 is hinged to the frame 9, and the other side is detachably fixed to the second outer shell 2. The storage space 10 can be opened and closed by opening the side of the seal 6 that is detachably fixed to the second outer shell 2.

[0048] When the seal 6 is closed, it can completely cover the opening of the storage space 10, forming a closed space through the dual constraints of the hinged side and the detachable fixed side. When the device is moved or tilted, it prevents accessories such as probes and connecting cables from sliding out of the storage space 10, which is especially suitable for the needs of frequent device repositioning in medical scenarios.

[0049] The edges of seal 6 are made of rubber or silicone to provide dust and splash protection. This prevents dust from accumulating on the parts and affecting their use, or from accidentally splashing and damaging items, thus extending the lifespan of the parts.

[0050] One side of the seal 6 is fixedly hinged to the frame 9, forming a rotating structure similar to a door, while the other side is fixed to the second housing 2 by a snap, magnetic attraction, or quick-release screw. The user only needs to open the detachable fixed end with one hand, and can open the seal 6 by rotating it to take out or put in items and then quickly close it, which takes less time than the traditional screw fixing method.

[0051] The seal 6 covers the clearance opening 11 of the second outer shell 2, exposing the entrance to the storage space 10 when open and concealing the opening when closed. This maintains a straight path for retrieving items while avoiding safety hazards caused by long-term exposure of the opening. The previous clearance opening 11 design solved the problem of easy retrieval, while the seal 6 solves the problem of preventing items from falling off.

[0052] The hinge point is directly fixed to the frame 9, rather than the second outer shell 2, to avoid additional stress on the second outer shell 2 when the seal 6 is opened and closed, thus ensuring the stability of the shell structure. Even with frequent opening and closing of the seal 6, the frame 9, as the supporting body, can maintain the firmness of the hinge point, preventing seal failure due to loosening. The hinge point uses a metal shaft or wear-resistant plastic to ensure smooth rotation even after long-term opening and closing, preventing the seal 6 from failing to close properly due to jamming.

[0053] The detachable fixing end adopts a press-type buckle or rotation locking structure, which requires active operation to open, to prevent the seal 6 from opening on its own due to vibration during transportation or use.

[0054] After the seal 6 is closed, it can be flush with the surface of the second outer shell 2, or it can be made of the same color material as the outer shell to keep the appearance of the equipment clean and hide the entrance of the storage space 10 to avoid visual clutter.

[0055] The second outer casing 2 is provided with heat dissipation holes 13 corresponding to the circuit unit 12. The heat dissipation holes 13 are used to dissipate the heat generated by the circuit unit 12 during operation. The heat dissipation holes 13 directly correspond to the arrangement position of the circuit unit 12. The heat generated by the circuit unit 12 during operation is conducted to the inside of the second outer casing 2 through the installation space and discharged through the heat dissipation holes 13.

[0056] Electronic components, such as power modules and control chips, will age faster when exposed to high temperatures for a long time. The heat dissipation holes 13 can control the temperature within a safe threshold, extend the life of the circuit, and prevent faults such as capacitor bulging and solder melting, and avoid equipment shutdown or performance degradation due to overheating.

[0057] Poor heat dissipation in millimeter-wave therapy devices may trigger overheat protection, affecting the treatment process. The 13 heat dissipation holes reduce the probability of the protection mechanism being triggered, ensuring treatment continuity. High temperature is one of the main causes of circuit failure; good heat dissipation can reduce the frequency of component replacement.

[0058] Thirteen heat dissipation holes are equipped with dust filters to prevent lint and dust from entering the circuit area in the medical environment, thus avoiding dust accumulation that could affect heat dissipation efficiency or cause short circuits.

[0059] The first outer casing 1 is fixed to the base 7, meaning the entire device is supported by the base 7. The base 7 is equipped with multiple casters 8 for easy movement of the entire device. Different treatment spaces such as wards, examination rooms, and rehabilitation areas can be quickly moved using the casters 8, meeting the needs of multiple patients sharing a single instrument. Simultaneously, a single person can push the device, avoiding the inconvenience of multiple people needing to move it when the base 7 is fixed. The casters 8 are equipped with a braking device to lock the position during treatment, preventing the device from sliding due to patient contact or uneven ground.

[0060] When equipment maintenance is required, it can be moved to the maintenance area via the rollers 8, avoiding the difficulty of moving the equipment when disassembling the casing and shortening the maintenance time.

[0061] The frame 9 is formed by connecting multiple sheet metal parts together. In this embodiment, the multiple sheet metal parts are welded together to form the frame 9. After being stamped, the sheet metal parts are welded together to form a frame-like frame 9, which can support the weight of components such as the control panel 4, circuit unit 12, and radiator 5, preventing the frame 9 from bending due to gravity during long-term use. Compared with bolted connections, which are prone to loosening due to vibration, welding can better cope with the bumps during equipment movement, ensuring the stability of the internal component installation positions.

[0062] The rigid structure of the sheet metal frame 9 can attenuate the slight vibrations generated by the radiator 5 during equipment operation and prevent the solder joints of the circuit unit 12 from detaching or the connecting wires from becoming loose.

[0063] The prefabricated sheet metal parts have pre-set mounting holes, and after welding, they directly form a standardized installation interface without the need for additional drilling or tapping, thus improving assembly efficiency. The first shell 1, the second shell 2, and the third shell 3 can be directly fitted onto the welded frame 9 and fixed with bolts, avoiding complex frame 9-shell adaptation and debugging.
