Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a human body stimulation system that provides vibration using acoustic pressure and bone-conducted sound using photoacoustic sound.

[0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to a human body stimulation system that provides vibration using acoustic pressure and bone-conducted sound using photoacoustic sound, the system including a vibration device configured to provide vibration to a human body using acoustic pressure and a transducer that provides bone-conducted sound using photoacoustic sound, and thus vibration (tactile) and bone-conducted sound (auditory sensation) can be provided to a human body (particularly the brain).

[0003] According to the present invention, bone-conducted sound can be provided simultaneously with the human body stimulation to vibration.

Background Art

[0004] The human body naturally ages over time, resulting in natural pain and activity limitations due to partial degenerative damage. Furthermore, activity limitations due to industrial and technological development, traffic accidents, industrial accidents, sports injuries, and simple accidents during activities, as well as various complications due to stress, lack of exercise, and obesity, cause various symptoms such as brain damage, myocardial infarction, arteriosclerosis, and arthritis.

[0005] To treat pain, injuries, obesity, etc. caused by these natural human phenomena or sociocultural problems, various stimulation devices have been developed and utilized together with pharmaceuticals and functional health foods. Such stimulation devices include massage devices.

[0006] Generally, a massage device is a device that massages the skin or scalp by stimulating it by tapping or rubbing, thereby achieving smooth blood circulation, promoting fat breakdown, and eliminating waste. Such massage devices use electrical signals to generate vibrations or electrical stimulation and apply them to the skin or scalp. For example, massage devices include low-frequency massage devices that massage the human body by passing low-frequency current through electrodes attached to the skin surface, ultrasonic massage devices that deliver ultrasonic vibrations to the human body by bringing an ultrasonic irradiation probe into contact with the skin surface, and massage devices that use ultra-low frequency or far-infrared rays.

[0007] However, although many technologies are applied and utilized, currently used human body vibration stimulation technologies, such as linear stimulation using simple rotary vibration motors or solenoids, pressurization methods using air pressure, stimulators that induce muscle contraction by inputting low-frequency currents, and methods that use magnetic fields to contract muscles, simply apply pressure or stimulation to the human body, and each technology has its own limitations.

[0008] For example, in the case of a vibrator that uses a motor, the vibration frequency can be adjusted, but the disadvantage is that the amplitude or intensity cannot be adjusted. Therefore, its misuse can lead to injury to the human body, and it has a structure and characteristics that prevent the vibration frequency from being delivered rhythmically.

[0009] Recently, a stimulation method has been developed that utilizes the principle of speakers, improving upon this, but it does not implement sufficient intensity to provide a smooth tactile sensation, merely performing a subordinate function of the speaker.

[0010] Furthermore, technologies utilizing low-frequency currents, ultrasound, and high-frequency currents have been disclosed and applied. However, low-frequency technology is often inconvenient for users, and ultrasound technology is difficult to adapt to the user's sensations and effects immediately. Additionally, the affected area is exposed, and a medium is required to transmit low frequencies or ultrasound, posing critical difficulties during use.

[0011] In the case of high-frequency technology, these are intended for deep heating rather than stimulation, and therefore, due to the characteristics of high-frequency technology and user anxiety, they have unique risk factors for the user. In the case of high-frequency technology, they require exposure of the affected area and the medium for transmission during use, and because they utilize conductive plates for transmission at both electrodes, they are not only dangerous but also cause many inconveniences in use.

[0012] Low-frequency therapy devices have the problem of continuously and repeatedly applying low-frequency current in the form of low-frequency pulses to the skin through electrodes, generating a sensation similar to electric shock, making treatment unpleasant and halving the therapeutic effect. Furthermore, low-frequency therapy devices have the problem that the affected area must be exposed in order to attach the electrodes to the skin, which causes female users to avoid these devices.

[0013] Furthermore, ultrasonic therapy and cosmetic devices have various problems, including the fact that ultrasonic vibrations propagate when the skin-contact surface of the ultrasonic irradiation probe comes into contact with the skin, but if the probe is incorrectly positioned on the skin, the ultrasonic vibrations do not propagate, resulting in unsatisfactory effects; and because the ultrasonic output set by the user is emitted regardless of whether the probe is in good contact with the skin, the vibration-propagating part of the probe generates heat due to vibration when not in contact, raising the temperature of this part and causing discomfort to the user, and there is a risk of inflammation with prolonged use.

[0014] In addition, by using a vibrator that vibrates vertically using a magnetic coil method, various skin care modes can be implemented, and various techniques for galvanic massage and iontophoresis massage using the vibrator are disclosed.

[0015] However, these conventional technologies apply a method of stimulating the skin by converting the rotational force of a vibration motor into linear motion or cam motion. As a result, the process of transmitting power from the vibration motor generates significant noise, causing discomfort to the user of the beauty device. Furthermore, because vibration is generated by eccentricity, the force distributed horizontally, i.e., parallel to the skin surface, is large, while the force acting perpendicular to the skin surface is small, which also leads to problems in effectively performing skin massage.

[0016] In addition, devices that generate sound waves and sound sources by applying the principle of speakers have been developed, but they suffer from problems such as a small frequency range and very weak strength due to issues with the structural characteristics of the magnetic circuit and the position of the leaf springs and coils. Furthermore, since such devices must consist of guides that maintain vertical sound wave vibrations using bearings and coil springs to maintain elasticity, there are limitations to how much they can be miniaturized.

[0017] These conventional technologies have very limited usage modes and functions, making it difficult to effectively manage the human body. [Overview of the Initiative]

[0022] The terms or phrases used in this specification and the claims should not be construed as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, but should be construed as meanings and concepts that conform to the technical idea of the present invention based on the principle that the inventor(s) can appropriately define the concept of the terms in order to explain their invention in the best way.

[0023] Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described in this specification and the configurations shown in the drawings are merely the most preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not represent all the technical ideas of the present invention, so there may be various equivalents and modifications that can replace them at the time of filing this application.

[0024] Before explaining the present invention with reference to the drawings below, it should be noted that unnecessary details, that is, known configurations that can be easily added by those skilled in the art, are not shown or specifically described in order to clarify the gist of the present invention.

[0025] The present invention relates to a human body stimulation system that uses acoustic pressure to provide bone conduction sound using vibration and photoacoustic sound.

[0026] More specifically, the present invention relates to a human body stimulation system that provides vibration using acoustic pressure and bone conduction sound using photoacoustic sound, wherein the system includes a vibrator configured to provide vibration to the human body using acoustic pressure and a transducer that provides bone conduction sound using photoacoustic sound, and thus can provide vibration (tactile sensation) and bone conduction sound (auditory sensation) to the human body (particularly the brain).

[0027] According to the present invention, bone conduction sound can be provided simultaneously with vibrational stimulation of the human body.

[0028] As shown in the attached drawings, the present invention is configured to include a vibrating device (100), a human body stimulator (200), and a bone conduction sound generator (300).

[0029] vibration device Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the vibration device (100) of the present invention includes upper and lower bodies (110, 180), upper and lower brackets (120, 160), a magnetic material (130), a voice coil (132), an upper plate (134), a bobbin (140), a conduit damper (150), and a connecting member (170). The vibration device (100) may also include a waterproof member or a cushioning member, although these are not shown in the drawings.

[0030] The configuration of the vibration device will be described in detail in this embodiment, using a connecting member (170) for transmitting vibrations, and a vibration probe (190) coupled to the connecting member (170) for massaging and stimulating the human body, so as to transmit vibrations generated from the vibration device (100) outward and massage and stimulate the skin or scalp of the human body.

[0031] In other words, the vibration probe (190) is detachably mounted on the vibration device (100).

[0032] The vibration probe (190) may have various shapes and sizes to accommodate various uses of the human body stimulation device (200 in Figure 4) described later.

[0033] The vibrating probe (190) of this embodiment includes a plate (192) to which a massage or stimulation head (not shown) is attached and detached, a shaft (194) coupled to the center of the lower surface of the plate (192), and a coupling component (196) provided at the lower end of the shaft (194) which is coupled to a connecting member (170). The coupling component (196) is provided in the form of a bolt screw-connected to the connecting member (170).

[0034] On the other hand, the aforementioned vibration probe (190) has a groove (1) formed upward on one side of the lower surface of the shaft (194) where the bolt (176) is not formed, and the vibrating body (2) is coupled to the groove (1) by a connector (4).

[0035] At this point, the connector (4) has a two-stage convex shape, and a portion of the connector (4) is inserted into the insertion groove (3) formed within the vibrating body (2) and fixed in place.

[0036] The size of the insertion groove (3) is made larger than the size of the part of the connector (4) that is inserted into the insertion groove.

[0037] This is shown in Figure 2a.

[0038] Figure 2a shows another embodiment of the vibration device.

[0039] Furthermore, the vibrating body (2) is smaller than the groove (1), allowing the vibrating body to pivot around the connector (4) within the groove (1).

[0040] At this point, an elastic body (5) is provided between one surface of the groove (1) and the upper surface of the vibrating body (2), and the aforementioned elastic body (5) can be seen in Figure 2b of the attached drawings.

[0041] Figure 2b is an enlarged view of the elastic body shown in Figure 2a.

[0042] The elastic body (5) shown in Figure 2b of the attached drawing has a hollow interior and a cylindrical shape with a first wing (52) and a second wing (53) extending symmetrically on both sides, and has a first shaft (51) having two guide grooves (54) formed along the longitudinal direction on one side and open at one end, It includes a second shaft (55) which has a cylindrical shape and has a third wing (56) and a fourth wing (57) extending symmetrically on both sides, The third wing (56) and the fourth wing (57) each include insertion grooves (56a, 57a) formed adjacent to the second shaft (55) and having a specific length.

[0043] In other words, the second shaft (55) is inserted into the hollow of the first shaft (51) as the third wing (56) and the fourth wing (57) are inserted into and guided by the respective guide grooves (54) of the first shaft (51).

[0044] Furthermore, the torsion spring is inserted through insertion grooves (56a, 57a) as shown in Figure 2b, with one protruding end of the torsion spring in close contact with one surface of the third wing (56) and fixed in place, and the other protruding end in the other direction in close contact with one surface of the second wing (53) and fixed in place.

[0045] Therefore, the aforementioned elastic body (50) can be operated such that the third wing (56) and the fourth wing (57) can be folded to the extent that they can move out of the guide groove (54), while at the same time having an "X" shape due to the elastic force of the torsion spring.

[0046] In this configuration, the shaft (194) of the vibration probe (190) according to the present invention has the effect of increasing the intensity of the vibration mode by the vibrating body (2) and reducing the influence of vibration applied to the probe itself, even when the vibration intensity by the elastic body (5) increases.

[0047] At this point, the vibrating body (2) includes an inclined surface on its lower surface that is tilted in a predetermined direction, as shown in Figure 2a of the attached drawing, and thus allows the vibrating body (2) to rotate without being affected by the upper surface of the connecting member (170) corresponding to the lower surface of the groove (1). This embodiment of the lower surface may have a wedge shape or a conical shape different from that shown in the attached drawing.

[0048] Specifically, the lower body (110) includes a cylindrical shape with an open top, forming a space in which a magnetic body (130) is installed. The magnetic body (130) is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the internal space of the lower body (110). Furthermore, the lower bracket (120) is an insert mounted on the outside of the magnetic body (130) within the internal space of the lower body (110). For this purpose, the lower body (110) includes a fixing groove (112) formed on the bottom surface in which the magnetic body (130) is fixedly installed, a ring-shaped separation groove (114) equipped to be spaced a specific distance from the outer surface of the magnetic body (130) fixed within the fixing groove (112), and a ring-shaped mounting groove (116) to which the lower bracket (120) is mounted, spaced a specific distance from the magnetic body (130). The separation groove (114) is equipped to form a magnetic path created by the magnetic body (130) and the voice coil (132).

[0049] The upper body (180) includes a cylindrical shape with an open bottom and covers the open top of the lower body (110). The upper body (180) is coupled to the lower body (110) and forms a space inside for housing components (120-160). The upper surface (182) of the upper body (180) is formed by an insertion hole (184) into which the shaft (194) and vibration probe (190) of the connecting member (170) are inserted and pass through the center, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes (186) provided outside the insertion hole (184) to release heat generated during the vibration of the vibrator (100). Furthermore, the upper surface (182) of the upper body (180) may further include a waterproofing material (not shown), such as silicone, to waterproof the insertion hole (184) into which the vibration probe (190) is inserted. The upper body (180) and the lower body (110) are made of aluminum to enhance the heat dissipation effect.

[0050] The lower bracket (120) includes a cylindrical shape having an open top and bottom. The lower bracket (120) is mounted in a mounting groove (116) of the lower body (110), and its upper surface is coupled to the conzy damper (170). For this purpose, the lower bracket (120) includes a plurality of coupling projections (122) on its upper surface. A bobbin (140) having a voice coil (132) mounted on top of the lower bracket (120) is mounted inside the lower bracket (120). A portion of the lower bracket (120) protrudes from the top of the lower body (110). The coupling projections (122) of the lower bracket (120) can be further secured by using silicone washers or the like to ensure durability and maintain vibration force when coupled with the damper (158) of the conzy damper (150). Silicone washers may be used selectively to adjust the height of the conzy damper (150) according to the frequency characteristics, thereby performing a function to maintain efficient amplitude.

[0051] The upper bracket (160) includes a plate shape housed within the upper body (180), and its edge is connected to the upper part of the lower bracket (120). The lower surface of the edge of the upper bracket (160) includes a plurality of connecting protrusions (162) for connecting the congeal damper (150) and the lower bracket (120).

[0052] The upper surface of the upper bracket (160) has a substantially circular shape and faces the lower bracket (120). The upper surface of the upper bracket (160) is formed by an insertion hole (164) into which a connecting member (170) is inserted so as to pass through the center, and a number of heat dissipation holes (166) equipped outside the insertion hole (164) to release heat generated during the vibration of the vibrator (100). These insertion holes (184, 164) of the upper body (180) and the upper bracket (160) fix the connecting member (170) and the vibration probe (190) to the center of the vibrator (100). Furthermore, a cushioning member (not shown), such as a leaf spring, may be further equipped between the upper surface of the upper bracket (160) and the upper body (180) to prevent unwanted vibration transmission.

[0053] The magnetic material (130) is fixedly mounted in the fixing groove (112) of the lower body (110) and interacts with the voice coil (132) to generate a magnetic field. The magnetic material (130) is equipped as a permanent magnet made of a ferromagnetic material such as a neodymium magnet. The upper plate (134) is attached to the upper surface of the magnetic material (130).

[0054] The voice coil (132) is mounted on the outer surface of the bobbin (140) above the magnetic material (130). The voice coil (132) is guided by the bobbin (140) to be securely mounted. The voice coil (132) receives power and interacts with the magnetic material (130) to generate a magnetic field. The magnetic material (130) and the voice coil (132) are installed inside the lower bracket (120).

[0055] The upper plate (134) has a shape substantially similar to the upper surface of the magnetic material (130), is mounted on the top of the magnetic material (130), and is installed adjacent to the lower surface of the bobbin (140). The upper plate (134) guides the magnetic force of the magnetic material (130) to concentrate on the voice coil (132) in order to prevent loss of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic material (130). The upper plate (134) can be subjected to magnetorheological fluid (not shown) on its outer circumference to form a magnetic field.

[0056] The bobbin (140) is provided as a non-magnetic material such as aluminum. The bobbin (140) is mounted inside the lower bracket (120). The bobbin (140) guides the voice coil (132) so that it is securely mounted on its outside and prevents the voice coil (132) from coming loose. The bobbin (140) is coupled to the connecting member (170) at the center of its upper surface. For this purpose, the bobbin (140) includes a cylindrical shape with an open upper and lower side, the upper surface (142) being larger than the radius of the side, and the lower side having a lower surface (148) that extends outward and faces the upper surface (142). The voice coil (132) is mounted on the side of the bobbin (140). At this point, the voice coil (132) is guided by the upper surface (142) and lower surface (148) of the bobbin (140).

[0057] Furthermore, the upper surface (142) of the bobbin (140) is formed by a coupling hole (144) for coupling with the lower end of the connecting member (170) in the center, and a number of heat dissipation holes (146) equipped outside the coupling hole (144) to release the heat generated when the vibrating device (100) vibrates. These heat dissipation holes (146) function to reduce noise associated with vibration, along with a heat dissipation effect. In addition, the bobbin (140) releases heat generated from the voice coil (132).

[0058] In the bobbin (140), the magnetic material (130) is fixed in a fixed position within the fixing groove (112) of the lower body (110) and positioned on the inner circumference of the lower surface (148) of the bobbin (140), creating an efficient magnetic field. As a result, when the voice coil (132) wound around the bobbin (140) is magnetized, mutual attractive and repulsive forces are generated, producing a stable vibration force. Furthermore, with respect to the bobbin (140), the vibration probe (190) is coupled through the connecting member (170), so even if physical eccentricity occurs when the human body is stimulated by the vibration probe (190), the strong magnetic path created by the coupling between the magnetic material (130) and the upper plate (134) functions to compensate for the eccentricity of the bobbin (140).

[0059] The conzy damper (150) is mounted on the upper surface (142) of the bobbin (140) and generates vertical vibrations using the magnetic field generated by the interaction between the magnetic material (130) and the voice coil (132). That is, the conzy damper (150) generates vibrations by acting like a speaker to the sound from the sound source, and the vibrations from the sound source cause the air to vibrate. The conzy damper (150) is coupled at its edge to the upper and lower brackets (120, 160). For this purpose, the conzy damper (150) includes a conzy plate (152) and a plurality of dampers (158).

[0060] The congeal plate (152) is formed with a central coupling hole (154) for coupling with the lower end of the connecting member (170), and a number of heat dissipation holes (156) are formed outside the coupling hole (154). Each damper (158) includes a radially elongated curved strip shape on the congeal plate (152) to maximize the vibration force of the congeal damper (150), and has coupling holes (159) at its ends for screw coupling. The damper (158) is screw-coupled and fixed in place between the coupling projection (162) of the upper bracket (160) and the coupling projection (122) of the lower bracket (120) by the coupling holes (159).

[0061] In addition, to ensure durability, the congee damper (150) is supported by elastic members such as silicone washers on the upper and lower parts of the coupling hole (159) of the damper (158) to prevent vibration damping and produce a smooth sound when vibration occurs.

[0062] Therefore, the conzy damper (150) generates vibrations in response to changes in the acoustic pressure of an externally supplied sound source. The conzy damper (150) is coupled to a connecting member (170) in the center and transmits vibrations to external components such as a vibration probe (190) through the connecting member (170). Since the central part of the conzy damper (150) has the maximum vibration amplitude, coupling the bolt (176) of the connecting member (170) to the coupling hole (154) of the conzy damper (150) can improve the vibration transmission efficiency. In this embodiment, with respect to the vibration device (100), the connecting member (170) is coupled to the conzy damper (150) and the center of the upper surface (142) of the bobbin (140) in order to increase the coupling force with the connecting member (170).

[0063] Furthermore, the connecting member (170) directly receives vibrations generated from the congeal damper (150) and then transmits them to the outside. In this embodiment, the connecting member (170) is coupled to the shaft (194) of the vibration probe (190). In other words, the connecting member (170) has a shaft shape, with its upper part coupled to the shaft (194) of the vibration probe (190) and its lower part coupled to the congeal damper (150) and the upper surface (142) of the bobbin (140).

[0064] For this purpose, the connecting member (170) includes a shaft-shaped body (172), a coupling groove (174) at the top of the body (172) for coupling with the shaft (194), and a coupling bolt (176) at the bottom of the body (172) for coupling with the coupling hole (154) of the congeal damper (150) and the coupling hole (144) of the bobbin (140). In this embodiment, the inside of the coupling hole (174) has a structure into which the coupling component (196) of the shaft (194) is screw-connected. * *

[0065] Accordingly, in the vibration device (100) of the present invention, the shaft (194) of the vibration probe (190) is inserted through the center of the upper body (180) and coupled to the connecting member (170), and the connecting member (170) is inserted through the upper bracket (160) and screw-coupled to the center of the congee damper (150) and bobbin (140). Thus, in the vibration device (100), when the congee damper (150) generates vertical vibration by acoustic pressure, the vibration is transmitted to the vibration probe (190) through the connecting member (170) coupled to the congee damper (170).

[0066] Another embodiment of the connecting member (170) is shown in Figure 3.

[0067] Referring to Figures 3a and 3b, in this embodiment, the vibrating probe (190a) has a fixing groove (198) formed at a specific position along the outer circumferential surface of the shaft (194a). The fixing groove (198) is formed, for example, on the outer circumferential surface of the portion of the shaft (194a) of the vibrating probe (190a) that is inserted into the coupling groove (174) of the connecting member (170a). The fixing groove (125) is formed with a locking step at the top and a guide at the bottom.

[0068] Furthermore, the elastic fixing pin (178) inserted into the fixing groove (198) is fixedly attached to the connecting member (170a). The elastic fixing pin (178) is fixedly coupled to the outside of the connecting member (170a), with a portion exposed inside the coupling groove (174) of the connecting member (170a), and the exposed portion either seats in the fixing groove (198) of the shaft (194a) or detaches from it.

[0069] The connecting member (170a) guides the elastic fixing pin (178) to seat in the fixing groove (198) by the guide portion of the fixing groove (198) when the shaft (194a) of the vibration probe (190a) is pushed downward and inserted into the coupling groove (174), and the elastic fixing pin (178) is simultaneously fixedly attached by a locking step. Furthermore, with respect to the connecting member (170a), when the shaft (194a) is pushed upward and moves away from the coupling groove (174), the elastic fixing pin (178) is easily removed from the fixing groove (178) by the guide portion of the fixing groove (198).

[0070] In this embodiment, the vibration probe (190a) can be more easily coupled to and detached from the connecting member (170) compared to the screw coupling structure in Figures 1 and 2, and damage to the coupling component (196) of the vibration probe (190) that may occur due to repeated coupling and detachment of the vibration probe (190a) with the vibration device (100) can be prevented.

[0071] Therefore, the vibration probes (190, 190a) of the present invention are easy to assemble during manufacturing because they use connecting members (170, 170a) that are joined using screw connections or fixing grooves (198) and elastic fixing pins (178).

[0072] As described above, the vibration device (100) of the present invention directly receives vibrations from the center of the conzy damper (150) by coupling the shafts (194, 194a) of the connecting members (170, 170a) and the vibration probes (190, 190a) to the center of the conzy damper (150), which generates vibrations in response to changes in the acoustic pressure of the sound source. Furthermore, the vibration device (100) of the present invention can improve the coupling force with the connecting members and thereby increase the vibration transmission efficiency by coupling the shafts (194, 194a) of the connecting members (170) and the vibration probes (190, 190a) together with the conzy damper (150) to the center of the upper surface (142) of the bobbin (140).

[0073] Furthermore, the vibration device (100) of the present invention is composed of a condy plate (152) that functions to generate sound waves on a condy damper (150) in the shape of a leaf spring, and a damper (158) that transmits vibration force and functions as a spring, and since it generates vibrations stably, the vibration generation efficiency can be improved.

[0074] Furthermore, although the vibration device (100) of the present invention is described as having a structure comprising upper and lower bodies (110, 180) and upper and lower brackets (120, 160), to simplify the structure, it can be implemented without the upper body (180) and upper bracket (160), thereby improving vibration generation efficiency and heat dissipation effect. This is because the connecting member (170) is coupled to the upper surface (142) and bobbin (140) of the congeal damper (150), ensuring a firm connection with the vibration probe (190).

In addition, the control unit (202) controls the display unit (206) to display the operating status of the sound source processing unit (210).

[0086] The acoustic pressure generating unit (250) is provided as a handle (240) type and includes a vibrator (100) inside. The acoustic pressure generating unit (250) receives an acoustic wave signal from the output unit (218) of the sound source processing unit (210) and generates vibrations in response to acoustic pressure fluctuations of the acoustic wave signal using the vibrator (100). The acoustic pressure generating unit (250) transmits vibrations based on pressure applied through direct contact with a specific part of the human body by attached vibrator probes (190, 260-266) while holding the handle (240). At this point, one of the various vibrator probes (190, 260-266) is selected and coupled to the acoustic pressure generating unit (250).

[0087] The vibration probe (190) is coupled to the vibration device (100) of the acoustic pressure generating unit (250) and transmits vibrations to the vibration stimulation units (260-266).

[0094] At this point, the frequency range of the amplitude-modulated signal can be 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 5kHz, and 10kHz.
