Description

RF energy generator with adjustable energy penetration depth

[0001] The present invention relates to an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy, and more specifically, to an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of RF energy by controlling the spacing between electrodes during a procedure.

[0002] Recently, as demand for and interest in skin beauty has increased, skin beauty devices that deliver energy into the skin to change the condition of skin tissue or improve tissue characteristics have been developed and sales are gradually increasing.

[0003] A variety of skin beauty devices are being developed and sold that treat the skin using lasers, flash lamps, ultrasound, and RF energy.

[0004] A skin beauty device using RF energy delivers RF energy into skin tissue, and when provided, RF current flows along the skin tissue, generating deep heat in the tissue.

[0005] A skin beauty device using RF energy transmits RF energy into skin tissue to generate deep heat in the skin tissue, thereby increasing the temperature of the skin tissue and reorganizing the collagen layer to improve wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity. It also has the effect of improving the overall skin condition, including preventing skin aging, by promoting blood circulation in the skin tissue.

[0006] Skin beauty devices using RF energy are classified into monopolar RF generators with one electrode in contact with the skin and a separate grounding pad, and bipolar RF energy generators with two electrodes in contact with the skin.

[0007] Conventional bipolar RF energy generating devices have a fixed spacing between a pair of RF electrodes that touch the skin, which limits the depth of RF energy delivery within the skin, and thus limits the improvement of skin condition during treatment. In addition, there was a problem in that the treatment form was fixed and various forms of treatment were not possible depending on the patient's skin condition.

[0008] In addition, conventional RF energy generating devices have the problem of requiring a long treatment time and causing great discomfort to the operator because they only use one handpiece when treating a wide treatment area such as the patient's abdomen, thighs, or upper arms.

[0009] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an RF energy generation device capable of controlling the penetration depth of RF energy by controlling the spacing between electrodes during a procedure.

[0010] In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy, which can perform a treatment by connecting multiple handpieces as needed, wearing them on a body part of a patient, and operating them simultaneously.

[0011] In order to achieve the above purpose, one embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention is characterized by including a handpiece casing, a plurality of electrode parts positioned spaced apart from one surface of the handpiece casing and contacting the skin to transmit RF energy to the skin, and an electrode spacing adjusting part that controls the penetration depth of RF energy transmitted to the skin by controlling the spacing between the plurality of electrode parts contacting the skin.

[0012] In the present invention, a pair of electrode parts are positioned to be inclined based on a contact surface that comes into contact with the skin, and the electrode gap adjustment part includes an electrode rotation part that rotates the inclined electrode parts, thereby rotating the inclined electrode parts with the electrode rotation part, thereby adjusting the gap of one end of the electrode parts that come into contact with the skin.

[0013] In the present invention, a pair of electrode parts are positioned so as to face each other and be inclined, but may be positioned so as to be inclined in opposite directions.

[0014] In the present invention, the electrode rotation part may include a rotation motor part mounted inside the handpiece casing part, a center gear part that rotates by receiving the rotational force of the rotation motor part, and a plurality of electrode rotation gear parts mounted on an electrode rotation shaft part located on the other end side of the electrode part and meshed with the center gear part.

[0015] In the present invention, a pair of electrode parts can be rotated at different rotational speeds.

[0016] In the present invention, the plurality of electrode sections have a plurality of electrode pairs, and at least one of the plurality of electrode pairs has a direction that is misaligned with the other electrode pairs, so that the plurality of electrode pairs can form different gaps when rotated.

[0017] The present invention may further include a wearable band part for wearing the handpiece casing part on a patient's body and a casing connection part for detachably connecting the wearable band part to the handpiece casing part.

[0018] In the present invention, the wearable band part is detachably connected to the handpiece casing part by the casing connection part, but can be rotatably hinge-connected.

[0019] In the present invention, the casing connecting portion may include a first hinge body portion having a protruding hinge axis located on one side of the handpiece casing portion and the wearing band portion, and a second hinge body portion having a shaft insertion portion located on the other side of the handpiece casing portion and the wearing band portion, into which the hinge axis is inserted.

[0020] In the present invention, a first hinge body part and a second hinge body part are provided on both sides of the handpiece casing part, and a second hinge body part is provided on the other side of the handpiece casing part, so that a plurality of the handpiece casing parts can be connected to each other by joining the first hinge body part to the second hinge body part.

[0021] The present invention can control the penetration depth of RF energy by adjusting the spacing between electrodes during the procedure, thereby enabling RF energy to penetrate into the tissue within the skin over a wide range during the procedure, thereby increasing the treatment range and thereby obtaining more diverse treatment effects.

[0022] In addition, the present invention can perform a procedure by connecting multiple handpieces as needed, wearing them on a patient's body part, and operating them simultaneously, thereby obtaining convenience and efficiency of the procedure.

[0051] FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view illustrating an embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention.

[0052] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention is described in detail below.

[0053] One embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention includes a handpiece casing part (100), and the handpiece casing part (100) has a shape that can be held and used by a practitioner, as an example.

[0054] The handpiece casing part (100) can be implemented in various ways with a known structure in a known skin beauty device using an RF energy generating device, so a more detailed description is omitted.

[0055] One end of the handpiece casing (100) has an electrode mounting surface on which a plurality of electrode parts (200) that come into contact with the skin are positioned, and the other end of the handpiece casing (100) has a control cable (410) connected to a control main body (400) that applies electric power to the electrode parts (200) and controls the operation of the electrode parts (200).

[0056] That is, one embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention further includes a control body (400) that is connected to a handpiece casing (100) and a control cable body (410) to control the operation of a plurality of electrode parts (200) and an electrode spacing adjustment part (300).

[0057] The control body (400) includes an RF signal generation unit that generates RF energy by applying electric power to a plurality of electrode units (200). It is known that the RF energy generation skin beauty device can be implemented in various ways with a known structure, and a more detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0058] In addition, a control board (not shown) electrically connected to a plurality of electrode units (200) and a control body unit (400) may be provided inside the handpiece casing unit (100), and the control body unit (400) may include a control board located inside the handpiece casing unit (100) to control the operation of a plurality of electrode units (200) and an electrode gap adjustment unit (300).

[0059] As an example, the plurality of electrode parts (200) include at least two electrode pairs to which (+) power and (-) power are respectively connected.

[0060] One embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention includes three electrode pairs to which a (+) power source and a (-) power source are respectively connected, and more specifically, it may include a pair of electrode parts (200) including a first electrode part (201) and a second electrode part (202) to which a (+) power source and a (-) power source are respectively connected, another pair of electrode parts (200) including a third electrode part (203) and a fourth electrode part (204) to which a (+) power source and a (-) power source are respectively connected, and another pair of electrode parts (200) including a fifth electrode part (205) and a sixth electrode part (206) to which a (+) power source and a (-) power source are respectively connected.

[0061] That is, as an example, the plurality of electrode parts (200) include a total of six electrodes, and as an example, two electrode parts (200) form a pair and include a total of three electrode pairs.

[0062] One embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention includes an electrode spacing adjusting unit (300) that adjusts the penetration depth of RF energy transmitted to the skin by adjusting the spacing between a plurality of electrode units (200) that come into contact with the skin.

[0063] The electrode spacing adjustment unit (300) is connected to (+) power and (-) power respectively, and adjusts the distance between a pair of electrode parts (200) that come into contact with the skin, thereby adjusting the penetration depth of RF energy transmitted to the skin between a pair of electrode parts (200) that come into contact with the skin, as an example.

[0064] When the gap between a pair of electrodes is large, the penetration depth of RF energy transmitted into the skin tissue increases, and when the gap between a pair of electrodes is small, the penetration depth of RF energy transmitted into the skin tissue decreases.

[0065] That is, one embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention is a bipolar RF energy generating device that includes at least one pair of electrode parts (200) that contact the skin and are connected to a (+) power source and a (-) power source, respectively, and transmits RF energy generated between the pair of electrode parts (200) to the skin, and controls the penetration depth of RF energy transmitted to the skin by controlling the distance between the pair of electrode parts (200) that contact the skin with an electrode gap adjusting part (300).

[0066]

[0067] In more detail, a pair of electrode parts (200) are positioned to be inclined based on a contact surface that comes into contact with the skin, and the electrode gap adjustment part (300) includes an electrode rotation part (300a) that rotates the inclined electrode part (200), thereby rotating the inclined electrode with the electrode rotation part (300a) to adjust the gap on one end of the electrode part (200) that comes into contact with the skin.

[0068] The plurality of electrode parts (200) are positioned to protrude from the electrode mounting surface of the plane located on one end of the handpiece casing part (100), but are positioned to be inclined at a preset angle.

[0069] And, the electrode rotation part (300a) rotates the electrode part (200) around the other end of the electrode part (200) so that one end of the electrode part (200) moves in a circle with a certain radius.

[0070] The electrode gap adjustment unit (300) may further include a rotation control switch unit (300b) provided in the handpiece casing unit (100) and operated by the operator to control the operation of the electrode rotation unit (300a).

[0071] The rotation control switch unit (300b) can be operated by the operator with his / her fingers while holding the handpiece casing unit (100) by hand to turn the electrode rotation unit (300a) on and off.

[0072] A pair of electrode parts (200) are positioned to face each other and be inclined, but are inclined in opposite directions so that the distance adjustment range can be set to the maximum.

[0073] A pair of electrode parts (200) are rotated by an electrode rotation part (300a) so that when one end of the electrode part is positioned facing each other on the inside, the minimum distance is set, and when one end of the electrode part is positioned facing each other on the outside, the maximum distance is set.

[0074] That is, a pair of electrode parts (200) to which the (+) power and (-) power are respectively connected are tilted in completely opposite directions so that the end sides that come into contact with the skin face each other and are tilted inward to be positioned at the minimum distance, or face each other and are tilted outward to be positioned at the maximum distance.

[0075] A pair of electrode parts (200) are rotated by an electrode rotation part (300a) with one end of the handpiece casing part (100) positioned to protrude and tilted toward the skin, so that the electrode gap is adjusted.

[0076] In addition, the electrode rotation part (300a) includes a rotation motor part (310) mounted inside the handpiece casing part (100), a center gear part (320) that rotates by receiving the rotational force of the rotation motor part (310), and a plurality of electrode rotation gear parts (330) mounted on an electrode rotation shaft part (340) located on the other end side of the electrode part (200) and meshed with the center gear part (320).

[0077] The electrode rotation gear part (330) is mounted on the electrode rotation shaft part (340) located on the other end side of the electrode part (200), and is engaged with the center gear part (320) to receive the rotational power of the rotation motor part (310) from the center gear part (320) and rotates around the electrode rotation shaft part (340).

[0078] A plurality of electrode parts (200) are each equipped with a plurality of electrode rotation gear parts (330) on an electrode rotation shaft part (340), and the plurality of electrode rotation gear parts (330) are arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction on the outer periphery of the center gear part (320) and are arranged to mesh with the center gear part (320).

[0079] A plurality of electrode parts (200) rotate together around the electrode rotation shaft part (340) by the rotation of a plurality of electrode rotation gear parts (330) meshed with the center gear part (320).

[0080] For example, when a total of six electrode parts (200) are provided, including a pair of electrode parts (200) including a first electrode part (201) and a second electrode part (202) to which (+) power and (-) power are respectively connected, a pair of electrode parts (200) including a third electrode part (203) and a fourth electrode part (204) to which (+) power and (-) power are respectively connected, and a pair of electrode parts (200) including a fifth electrode part (205) and a sixth electrode part (206) to which (+) power and (-) power are respectively connected, the plurality of electrode rotation gear parts (330) include a first electrode rotation gear part (331) mounted on a first electrode rotation axis part (341) of the first electrode part (201), a second electrode rotation gear part (332) mounted on a second electrode rotation axis part (342) of the second electrode part (202), It includes a third electrode rotation gear part (333) mounted on a third electrode rotation shaft part (343) of a third electrode part (203), a fourth electrode rotation gear part (334) mounted on a fourth electrode rotation shaft part (344) of a fourth electrode part (204), a fifth electrode rotation gear part (335) mounted on a fifth electrode rotation shaft part (345) of a fifth electrode part (205), and a sixth electrode rotation gear part (336) mounted on a sixth electrode rotation shaft part (346) of a sixth electrode part (206).

[0081] That is, a pair of first electrode parts (201) and second electrode parts (202) facing each other and positioned at an angle receive the rotational force of the center gear part (320) to the first electrode rotation gear part (331) and the second electrode rotation gear part (332), and each rotates, so that the gap between the ends that come into contact with the skin changes, and the penetration depth of RF energy transmitted into the skin changes.

[0082] In addition, a pair of third electrode parts (203) and fourth electrode parts (204) positioned facing each other and inclined receive the rotational power of the center gear part (320) to the third electrode rotation gear part (333) and the fourth electrode rotation gear part (334) and rotate accordingly, and as the gap between the ends that come into contact with the skin changes, the penetration depth of RF energy transmitted into the skin changes.

[0083] In addition, a pair of fifth electrode parts (205) and sixth electrode parts (206) positioned facing each other and inclined receive the rotational power of the center gear part (320) to the fifth electrode rotation gear part (335) and the sixth electrode rotation gear part (336) and rotate accordingly, and as the gap between the ends that come into contact with the skin changes, the penetration depth of RF energy transmitted into the skin changes.

[0084] A pair of electrode parts (200) are rotated at different rotation speeds so that the gap between the ends of the electrode parts that come into contact with the skin can be varied over a wider range, thereby allowing the penetration depth of RF energy penetrating into the skin to be more varied.

[0085] A pair of electrode rotation gears (330) connected to a pair of electrode parts (200) have different diameters or different tooth ratios so that the pair of electrode parts (200) can rotate at different rotation speeds.

[0086] In addition, as an example, at least one electrode pair among the plurality of electrode pairs has a direction that is misaligned with the other electrode pairs, so that the plurality of electrode pairs form different gaps when they rotate.

[0087] A plurality of electrode pairs are positioned so as to have different directions while being rotated simultaneously by a rotation motor unit (310), so that each electrode pair rotates with different intervals at the end that comes into contact with the skin during rotation.

[0088] Multiple electrode pairs are positioned in an offset relationship with each other and, when rotated simultaneously by the operation of the rotation motor unit (310), RF energy is delivered to the treatment area at different depths, enabling more diverse and wider treatment.

[0089] Additionally, multiple electrode pairs can be tilted and rotated at a preset radius while in contact with the skin to produce a massage effect on the skin.

[0090] That is, the plurality of electrode parts (200) are positioned so as to protrude on one end of the handpiece casing part (100) of the handpiece casing part, and transmit RF energy to the skin while in contact with the skin, and are in contact with the skin while the skin is pressed at a certain pressure by the practitioner or the wearable band part to be described later in order to adhere to the skin.

[0091] In addition, the plurality of electrode parts (200) are pressed against the skin by the force of the practitioner or the wearing pressure of the wearable band part to be described later, and rotate at a preset radius while tilted in the contact state, thereby transmitting RF energy to the skin and generating a massage effect at the same time, thereby increasing the treatment effect and reducing pain during RF energy treatment, thereby greatly improving satisfaction during the treatment.

[0092]

[0093] FIGS. 3 to 5 are schematic diagrams showing different examples in which a pair of electrode parts (200), i.e., a first electrode part (201) and a second electrode part (202), in an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention are spaced apart by the operation of an electrode space-adjusting part (300).

[0094] Referring to FIG. 3, an example is shown in which a pair of electrode parts (200) are each inclined at the same angle and protrude at the same height on the electrode mounting surface of the handpiece casing part (100).

[0095] The first electrode part (201) and the second electrode part (202) are positioned so as to face each other while being inclined on a flat electrode mounting surface, and each is rotated around the electrode rotation axis on the other end side, so that the gap on the one end side in contact with the skin changes, thereby controlling the penetration depth of RF energy penetrating into the skin.

[0096] In addition, referring to FIG. 4, a pair of electrode parts (200), that is, a first electrode part (201) and a second electrode part (202), are positioned at different angles to further widen the difference between the minimum and maximum intervals, thereby forming a wider range of penetration depths of RF energy into the skin.

[0097] Among the pair of electrode parts (200), the first electrode part (201) is positioned to be inclined at a first angle based on the electrode mounting surface of the plane, and the second electrode part (202) among the pair of electrode parts (200) is positioned to be inclined at a second angle lower than the first angle based on the electrode mounting surface of the plane, so that one end of each electrode part (200) that comes into contact with the skin rotates with a different radius, so that the minimum and maximum intervals become wider compared to a structure in which each electrode part (200) rotates individually and has the same inclination.

[0098] In addition, the first electrode part (201) and the second electrode part (202) are tilted at different angles, but are positioned on the electrode mounting surface at the same height so that they can each stably contact the skin.

[0099]

[0100] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 5, in the case where a plurality of electrode parts (200) are formed into a plurality of pairs, the range of change in the interval during rotation of at least one pair of electrode parts (200) is different from the range of change in the interval during rotation of another pair of electrode parts (200).

[0101] FIG. 5 (a) and (b) are drawings illustrating a first electrode pair (200a) and a second electrode pair (200b) positioned protrudingly on one electrode mounting surface, and the first electrode pair (200a) includes a pair of electrode parts (200) inclined at a first angle, that is, a first electrode part (201) and a second electrode part (202), and the second electrode pair (200b) includes a pair of electrode parts (200) inclined at a second angle different from the first angle, that is, a third electrode part (203) and a fourth electrode part (204).

[0102] And, although not shown, one electrode of the first electrode pair (200a) may be inclined at a first angle and the other electrode may be inclined at a third angle different from the first angle, and one electrode of the second electrode pair (200b) may be inclined at a second angle and the other electrode may be inclined at a fourth angle.

[0103] The third and fourth angles may be the same angle or different angles.

[0104] A pair of electrode parts (200) of the first electrode pair (200a) and a pair of electrode parts (200) of the second electrode pair (200b) are tilted at different angles, and when each electrode part (200) is rotated, the rotation radius of the electrode parts (200) of the first electrode pair, that is, the first electrode part (201) and the second electrode part (202), and the rotation radius of the electrode parts (200) of the second electrode pair, that is, the third electrode part (203) and the fourth electrode part (204), are different, so that they have different gap change ranges during rotation.

[0105] The plurality of electrode pairs (200a, 200b) can all be tilted at different angles and have different gap change ranges when rotated.

[0106] In addition to adjusting the angle of the electrode portion (200), it is also possible to implement other modifications in which multiple electrode pairs (200a, 200b) can have different interval variation ranges.

[0107] The RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention has at least two pairs of electrode parts (200) tilted at different angles and the gap between the electrodes is adjusted to a different gap change range when rotated, so that the penetration range of each electrode is individually controlled differently to enable more diverse types of treatment.

[0108]

[0109] FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating another embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention, and referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 6, one embodiment of an RF energy generating device capable of controlling the penetration depth of energy according to the present invention further includes a wearable band part (500) for wearing a handpiece casing part (100) on a patient's body, and a casing connecting part (530) for detachably connecting the wearable band part (500) to the handpiece casing part (100).

[0110] The wearable band (500) includes a first band member (510) detachably connected to one side of the handpiece casing member (100), a second band member (520) detachably connected to the other side of the handpiece casing member (100), and a band connection member (not shown) connecting the first band member (510) and the second band member (520), and after wrapping around a body part, both ends are connected by the band connection member, so that the wearable band can be worn on the patient's body and fix the position of the handpiece casing member (100) at the patient's treatment site.

[0111] The band connection part is not shown, but is an example of a Velcro tape part, and includes a male Velcro tape located on one side of the first band member (510) and the second band member (520) and a female Velcro tape located on the other side of the first band member (510) and the second band member (520).

[0112] The male Velcro tape and the female Velcro tape are attached to each other to connect the two ends of the wearing band part (500) so that the wearing band part (500) is worn by the patient while wrapping around the patient's treatment area, and the position of the handpiece casing part (100) is fixed in the patient's treatment area.

[0113] The first band member (510) and the second band member (520) can be adjusted in length to be worn around various body parts by adjusting the attachment area of ​​the male Velcro tape and the female Velcro tape, so that the band can be worn on various body parts such as the arms, legs, waist, and chest.

[0114] Although the band connection part is not shown, it can be implemented in various ways by using a known band connection part, such as a clamp structure or button structure that connects the band and wraps around a part of the body to wear the band on the body, so a more detailed description is omitted.
