Abstract
Description
Muscle recovery equipment
[0001] The present invention relates to physical therapy and health management equipment, and more particularly, to a muscle restoration equipment that provides dual vibration stimulation to the skin and muscles to restore damaged muscles or quickly recover from fatigued muscles.
[0002] As the human body ages, muscle mass decreases and muscle loss occurs. Causes of muscle loss include trauma, damage to disused muscles, and overuse.
[0003] Another major factor in muscle weakness is long-term nerve compression caused by spinal imbalances in the neck and back. For example, patients with chronic cervical disc herniation often experience shoulder pain and rotator cuff calcification, as well as hair loss and headaches due to scalp muscle calcification. Furthermore, those with lumbar disc herniation experience accelerated muscle calcification around the leg nerves due to compression of the nerves leading to knee arthritis. Furthermore, calf muscle damage can cause blood vessels to protrude, leading to varicose veins. Furthermore, the weakening of the calf-to-heart pumping function can lead to hypertension and various other adult diseases.
[0004] As numerous studies have shown, most people over 60 have lost 50% of their muscle mass, leaving them vulnerable to various lifestyle diseases. These muscles not only protect the bones but also the blood vessels and nerves. Consequently, damaged muscles can compress surrounding blood vessels, leading to circulatory problems. To overcome this circulatory problem, the heart pumps more blood, increasing blood pressure. Even with this massive pumping of blood, the blood vessels surrounding calcified muscles lack proper circulation, making it difficult for the tissues surrounding the damaged muscles to regenerate, contributing to aging and lifestyle diseases.
[0005] Therefore, restoring muscles to their youthful state is crucial not only for alleviating intermittent pain but also for preventing aging and adult diseases. Methods for increasing muscle temperature include laser therapy, long-wave diathermy, and infrared lamp therapy.
[0006] These methods raise the skin temperature to 37-40°C (99-104°F), then scratch or stimulate the adhered muscles from beginning to end. This releases inflammation and foreign substances from the adhered muscles, causing them to return to normal. These methods have been performed manually using glasson.
[0007] However, these manual procedures have limitations in speed and strength, difficulty achieving uniform results across large areas, time-consuming procedures, and the need for highly skilled practitioners. Therefore, the need for automated equipment to facilitate and simplify the recovery of muscles affected by adhesions, damage, or calcification is growing.
[0008] The present invention is intended to solve the above problems and aims to provide an automated device for stimulating and restoring muscles.
[0009] In addition, the present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a muscle restoration device that improves and restores fatigue and damage of damaged and fatigued muscles by stimulating them through double vibration by contacting the muscles.
[0010] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a muscle restoration device having an optimal structure that is easy for a practitioner to hold by hand, maximizes the contact skin area, can apply both dual vibration and laser light to the skin, and efficiently provides heat to the contacted skin.
[0011] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a muscle restoration device having a structure that diversifies and maximizes the vibration transmitted to the skin of a subject of treatment, disperses the generated heat, and facilitates observation and replacement of the operation of the vibration structure.

[0084] The configuration and function of the present invention will be examined in detail with reference to an embodiment of the configuration of the present invention illustrated in the attached drawings below.
[0085] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing the appearance of a muscle restoration device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the muscle restoration device (100) has an appearance similar to an elongated cylinder and forms a vertical height of about 10 to 30 cm that can be held by hand. The muscle restoration device (100) as a whole includes a central structure (110, main body), a plurality of massage structures (120, vibration structures), a low-energy laser (light source) device (150), and a control device (160). The plurality of massage structures generate vibrations for massaging the patient's muscles, the low-energy laser (light source) device (150) transfers heat to the patient's muscles, and the power circuit / device provides the power necessary for the operation of the muscle restoration device (100) and enables the same to be controlled. A control device (160) including a plurality of massage structures (120), a low-energy laser device (150), and a power circuit and operating unit (140) is mounted and coupled to the central structure (110).
[0086] The main body (110) is made of a rigid material and supports the entire structure, and a plurality of vibration structures (120) may be provided at regular intervals along the perimeter of the main body (110). The lower end of the vibration structure (120) protrudes from the lower end of the muscle restoration device (100), and a closing member (130) and a control device (160) are provided at the upper end. The control device (160) includes an operating unit (140) including at least one of a vibration switch (141), a laser switch (142), and a control switch (143) to be described later.
[0087] The practitioner holds the muscle restoration equipment (100) in his hand, brings the protruding part of the lower vibration structure (120) into contact with the skin, and allows the vibration of the vibration structure (120) and the light of the laser light emitting device (150) to affect the skin.
[0088] The muscle restoration device (100) is a treatment device that raises the skin temperature to 37-40℃ (99-104℉), and then automatically restores calcified muscles, much like an excavator vibrates asphalt to break up adhered muscles. To achieve this, a motor is used. However, to prevent skin damage if it comes into direct contact with the skin, a motor with a thin, curved metal cover is used. Furthermore, the motor's vibration generates heat at the contact point, naturally increasing the temperature around the target muscle.
[0089] However, the ambient temperature of the muscle to be restored must rise to 37-40℃ (99-104℉), but since the heat generated by the vibration of the motor and frictional heat alone cannot raise the temperature to this level, a 650nm laser light-emitting device (150) is provided together with the vibration motor so that the temperature can rise when the laser is irradiated on the muscle. In addition, a magnet can be installed at the contact point of the motor to promote blood circulation, or if a magnet is already installed inside the motor, this magnet will play a role in facilitating blood circulation. Blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, and among these, platelets react to the magnetic force of the magnet, thereby promoting circulation.
[0090] When the device of the present invention is applied to a damaged muscle and operated, the speed of muscle recovery is improved as the hard calcium in the muscle is broken down according to the rotation of the motor, and the treatment time is significantly shortened.
[0091] This type of vibration therapy improves range of motion, increases subcutaneous blood flow, enhances muscle strength, and enhances kinesthetic perception. Mechanical vibrational exercise is provided through vibration, which is defined as the oscillatory changes in force, acceleration, and displacement over time.
[0092] Furthermore, the device of the present invention is designed to apply two stages of vibration to the muscles. The first stage of vibration is the vibration by each vibration motor to break up the calcium deposits in the muscles and soften the attached muscles, and the heat generated by the rapid rotation of the motor maintains the temperature deep in the muscles, plays a role in separating the muscles, and plays a role in melting inflammation and foreign substances coming from the calcified muscles. In order to apply the maximum stimulation that is gentle yet strong to the muscles, the second motor is attached to the slightly stronger first motor, so that while the second motor in contact with the skin stimulates the calcified muscles, the slightly stronger first motor operates simultaneously, thereby stimulating the calcified muscles as much as possible and playing a role in breaking up the calcium deposits.
[0093] The second-stage vibration connects the first motor to a vibration connecting member (122) such as an aluminum tube, and transmits the vibration power of the six vibration motors so that the entire main body (110) exhibits vibration capability. That is, the second-stage vibration vibrates the aluminum tubes of the vibration connecting members (122) to which the six motors provided in the main body (110) are connected, and the six aluminum tubes vibrate the main body (110). The vibration caused by this serves to gently prepare the muscle area to be restored, and the vibration of each motor head, which is the first-stage vibration, breaks the muscles and causes the heat generated by the motor rotation to melt lime or foreign substances in the muscles.
[0094]
[0095] Figure 2 is an exploded view of the main body of a muscle recovery device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 2, the main body (110) has a cylindrical structure, is hollow from the top, and is a structure made of a solid material such as metal. The main body (110) is open at the top and closed at the bottom.
[0096] On the lateral outer surface of the main body (110), a plurality of vibration structures (120) are arranged vertically at concentric radial intervals, and the lower end of the vibration structure (120) is exposed so as to protrude downward from the main body of the vibration structure (120) as a part that touches the skin.
[0097] On the bottom surface of the main body (110), a laser emitting device (150) is placed at the inner center of the position where the vibrating structure (120) is placed. The vibrating structure (120) transmits vibration, and at the same time, laser light is irradiated from the laser emitting device (150). In some cases, only vibration may be applied, or only laser light may be selected to be emitted.
[0098]
[0099] Fig. 3 is a drawing showing a main body according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 4 is a drawing showing an upper surface of the main body according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figs. 3 and 4, the main body (110) has a main body cylinder (111) having an elongated shape in the vertical direction, and the center of the main body cylinder (111) has a main body cavity (111a) having an empty interior.
[0100] A flange (112, 113, 114) is formed to protrude from the outside of the main body cylinder (111) in a ring or disk shape, and the flange is a configuration for fixing the vibration structure (120). The flange is a protruding rib, edge, or collar, and is a general term for a configuration used to fix an object in place or attach a first object to a second object. The flange may include at least one of a bottom flange (112) protruding outward from the bottom side of the main body cylinder (111), an upper flange (113) protruding outward from the upper end side of the main body cylinder (111), and an intermediate flange (114) protruding outward from the middle side of the main body cylinder (111).
[0101] A plurality of bottom through holes (112a) are formed along the circumference of the bottom flange (112), a plurality of middle through holes (114a) are formed along the circumference of the middle flange (114), and a plurality of top through holes (113a) are formed along the circumference of the top flange (113). The bottom through holes (112a), the middle through holes (114a), and the top through holes (113a) are formed in positions that are aligned with each other in the vertical direction and face each other, so that the vibration structure (120) inserted into these through holes can be firmly fixed in the vertical direction. The vibration structure (120) is not placed in a closed position inside the main body cylinder (111), but is placed so that it can be exposed in an open position through an outer flange (112, 113, 114), so that the operation of the vibration structure (120) can be easily observed and replacement can be facilitated.
[0102]
[0103] Fig. 5 is a drawing showing a vibrating structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 5, the vibrating structure (120) is a configuration that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to generate vibration, and includes a vibrating body (127) and a vibrating connecting member (122) connected thereto, and an elastic member (123) such as a spring is arranged on the upper portion of the vibrating body (127), and has a structure independent from other vibrating structures (120), but can operate simultaneously as a unit.
[0104] The vibrating body (127) is a part where vibration is generated, the vibration connecting member (122) is connected to the vibrating body (127) so that vibration is transmitted, and a power line for supplying power is arranged internally, and the elastic member (123) is arranged in a supporting position so that the vibration of the vibrating body (127) is transmitted to the outside. The vibration connecting member (122) has a tubular rigid member shape in which a power line is accommodated inside and, if necessary, wraps around the outside of the power line.
[0105] The vibrator (127) transmits vibrations to the outside, i.e., the skin and muscles of a patient, by utilizing the vibrations generated from the motor by supplying power to the motor, and includes a first motor (121), a second motor (124), a support member (125), and a housing (126) surrounding the outside thereof, and forms an exterior of a cantilever structure extending downward like a beam. Vibration and heat can be transmitted to the skin and muscles of a patient through the lower end of the elongated cantilever portion.
[0106] In some cases, only the first motor (121) may be included, and the second motor (124) may be omitted. The first and second motors may use a DC coreless motor or a micro vibration motor. It is preferable that the first and second motors are formed in an elongated shape, have an end portion that includes a spherical curved surface, and have a metal surface so that this curved portion can come into contact with the skin.
[0107] The first motor (121) is provided with a first support member (121a) at the upper end, and the first support member (121a) supports the lower end of the elastic member (123). The first motor (121) has a rotational speed of 8000 to 15000 RPM, and has a rotational force and rotational torque greater than those of the second motor (124).
[0108] A second motor (124) is arranged in the lower direction of the first motor (121), and the second motor (124) is supported on the first motor (121) side by a support member (125). The second motor (124) is designed to have a rotation speed of 8000 to 24000 RPM, so that it can rotate faster than the first motor (121), but its rotational power and rotational torque are set to be lower than those of the first motor (121).
[0109] As the first and second motors operate simultaneously, the lower end of the vibrating second motor (124) is brought into contact with the skin under a combination of a relatively slow rotation speed of the first motor (121) and a relatively fast rotation speed of the second motor (124).
[0110] The support member (125) is configured to fix and support the second motor (124), and the outer housing (126) is configured to couple with each other, increase support capacity, and protect the internal components. These may be formed of a plastic material, but may also be manufactured from metal to have greater high-temperature resistance. The first and second motors include an elongated cantilever structure, and may be viewed as being coupled thereto or installed within it.
[0111]
[0112] FIG. 6 is a side view of a muscle restoration device according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 8 is a side view of a muscle restoration device according to a first embodiment of the present invention in another direction, and FIG. 9 is a view showing the upper surface of a control device of a muscle restoration device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 6 and 8 to 9, the muscle restoration device (100) has a main body cylinder (111) at the top of which a main body cavity (111a) can be closed by a closing member (130), and a control device (160) is provided on the upper portion of the closing member (130). The control device (160) may include a switch for turning the entire power on and off, a motor power of a vibrator (127), a power of a laser light-emitting device (150), or controlling the intensity of vibration or light emission. The vibration switch (141) is for controlling the motor operation of the vibrator (127), and the laser switch (142) is for controlling the light-emitting operation of the laser light-emitting device (150).
[0113] A vibrating body (127) is positioned so as to protrude from the bottom of the main body cylinder (111), and an elastic member (123) is positioned between the main body cylinder (111) and the vibrating body (127). Since the skin or muscles of the human body are not flat but curved surfaces, the height at which the plurality of vibrating bodies (127) come into contact differs depending on the position. At this time, as the extension length of the elastic member (123) such as a spring is reduced as much as it is pressed, the position of the vibrating body (127) is optimally contacted and pressed according to the curve of each skin or muscle.
[0114] A vibrating structure (120) is installed and supported on multiple flanges (112, 114, 113) protruding outward from a main body cylinder (111), and a vibrating body (127) protrudes and is exposed at the bottom. The practitioner holds the main body (110) in his / her hand, and while the lower end of the vibrating body (127) is pressed against the skin and muscles, the vibration of the vibrating body (127) and the light of the laser light-emitting device (150) are transmitted toward the skin and muscles. The laser light-emitting device (150) is a low-energy laser device and serves to transmit heat to the patient's muscles. In addition, the laser light-emitting device (150) generates electromagnetic radiation that is transmitted to the patient's muscles and serves to treat the patient's muscles. The laser light-emitting device (150) can be used simultaneously with the vibration operation of the vibrating structure (120), and can provide respective actions and therapeutic effects for the same location of the patient's muscles. The laser light emitting device (150) may include a laser generating unit and a lens structure, and the laser generating unit converts electric energy into electromagnetic radiation and projects low-energy infrared electromagnetic radiation onto a patient, and the lens structure arranged along the path serves to focus the generated electromagnetic radiation onto a specific point on the patient.
[0115]
[0116] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a vibrating body according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 7, a vibrating body (127) is centered around a first motor (121), and a second motor (124) is supported and connected to the lower portion thereof by a support member (125). The vibrations of the first motor (121) and the second motor (124) can be superimposed and transmitted to the skin in contact with the lower curved surface of the second motor (124). By separating the motors into two and arranging them in series, a larger composite vibration can be generated, while preventing the skin from being damaged by the vibration and dispersing the heat, so that hardened muscles can be softened without damaging the skin in contact. The vibrating motor generates far-infrared heat, and if the heat is concentrated in one place, there is a risk of skin irritation. However, by dividing the vibration of the same magnitude into two motors and generating it, the effect of dispersing the heat is achieved.
[0117] The first motor (121) may have a lower rotational speed than the second motor (124), but it is preferable to use one with greater power, rotational force, and rotational torque, and the second motor (124) may have a higher rotational speed than the first motor (121), but it is preferable to use one with less power, rotational force, and rotational torque.
[0118] The first motor (121) has the effect of strengthening the vibration of the vibrating body (127) due to its large rotational torque. However, there is a concern that this may generate high-temperature far-infrared heat, which may have a negative effect on the skin. However, by additionally providing the second motor (124) at the skin contact location, it is separated from the skin and a distance is maintained, thereby reducing the risk of burns.
[0119] The second motor (124) is a motor located at the contact point of the terminal, and although it rotates at high speed, the sensation felt on the skin is soft due to the small rotational torque, and the heat generation is low, so it is at a level where you feel a warm sensation, and thus has the effect of protecting against burns.
[0120] The elastic member (123) positioned and supported between the upper first support portion (121a) of the first motor (121) and the lower end portion (112b) of the main body cylinder (111) enables the vibration of the vibrating body (127) to be smooth, and at the same time, the vibrating body (127) has a different height for each position so that it can contact each position of the curved skin and muscles with an appropriate pressure.
[0121] The vibration connecting member (122) penetrates the bottom through hole (112a) formed in the bottom end (112b) and is coupled and connected to the vibrating body (127). The vibration connecting member (122) has a diameter of 0.5 cm, and the bottom through hole (112a) is formed with a diameter of 0.6 cm, so that six vibration connecting members (122) are arranged to penetrate and slide or vibrate within the bottom through hole (112a).
[0122] The vibration connecting member (122) includes a power line on the inside and has a tubular rigid member on the outside. The rigid member may be supported and fixed in the bottom through-hole (112a) or the through-holes (113a, 114a) of each flange, or may be made to slide up and down in a friction or supported state. The vibration connecting member (122) may be movable with respect to the middle flange (114) or the upper flange (113), but may be supported in various ways depending on the case.
[0123] Fig. 10 is a drawing showing a muscle restoration device according to a first embodiment of the present invention from a bottom view. Referring to Fig. 10, a laser light emitting device (150) is arranged at the center of a bottom end portion (112b), and a plurality of bottom penetration holes (112a) are formed radially spaced outwardly, and a vibrating body (127) is arranged at all or part of the lower positions of the bottom penetration holes (112a), and a lower contact surface of a second motor (124) is exposed at the lowest surface.
[0124]
[0125] Fig. 11 is a cross-sectional view of a muscle restoration device according to a first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 11, it is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of Fig. 9. A control device (160) including a power supply such as a battery is provided in the internal body cavity (111a) of the main body cylinder (111), and supplies power to a motor, a light-emitting device, etc.; however, in some cases, an external power supply may be used instead of the internal battery power supply.
[0126] The power line connected to the power source of the control device (160) is arranged inside the vibration connecting member (122) and connected to the motor in the vibrating body (127) or to the laser light emitting device (150). The main body cylinder (111) has flanges (112, 113, 114) that repeatedly protrude outward, so that the vibration structure (120) can be easily fixed, and at the same time, it has the effect of providing a grip and frictional force so that the operator can easily hold the main body cylinder (111) in his hand.
[0127]
[0128] FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a muscle restoration device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 13 is a view showing an exploded view of a main body part of a muscle restoration device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 14 is a view showing a side view of a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 15 is a view showing an upper surface of a main body according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 16 is a view showing a bottom view of a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 17 is a view showing a vertical cross-section of a vibration structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 21 is a view for explaining a muscle restoration effect when a muscle restoration device according to an embodiment of the present invention is used. Hereinafter, description will be made with reference to FIGS. 12 to 17 and FIG. 21.
[0129] The muscle restoration equipment (100) has an appearance similar to a long cylinder and forms a vertical height of about 10 to 30 cm that can be held by hand. The muscle restoration equipment (100) includes a main body (210) forming a central structure, a vibration structure (220) including a plurality of vibration motors for contacting a wide area of skin and having a plurality of dual massage stimulation structures, and a control device (290) for controlling the operation of the vibration structure (220), and according to an embodiment, further includes a vibration structure coupling member (230) and a laser light emitting device (250) using low energy.
[0130] The main body (210) is made of a rigid material and includes a cylindrical (or tubular) shaped main body cylinder (211) with a main body cavity (211a) formed in the inner center to be easy to hold by hand as described above, thereby supporting the entire structure of the muscle restoration device (100). The main body cavity (211a) may be configured to penetrate the center of the main body cylinder (211), or may be configured to have an open upper portion and a closed lower portion.
[0131] According to the second embodiment, the main body cavity (211a) of the main body (210) may be formed to be penetrable, and the main body cavity (211a) according to the third embodiment, which will be described later, may be configured to have a closed lower portion. In the latter case, one or more vibration structures (220) may be configured to be directly coupled to the closed lower portion of the main body (210). This will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 18 to 20, which will be described later.
[0132] However, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 17, it is preferable to be configured to be coupled through a vibration structure coupling member (230) that is inserted into the main body cavity (211a) through the lower part of the main body (210) and coupled to the main body cylinder (211) or that covers the lower outer surface of the main body cylinder (211) of the main body (210) and is coupled to the main body cylinder (211).
[0133] The above vibration structure coupling member (230) includes a coupling base (231) having a flat surface such as a square or circle, and a vibration connecting part (232) having one end inserted into the main body cavity (211a) of the main body cylinder (211) and the other end coupled to the upper end of the coupling base (231).
[0134] The vibration connecting portion (232) may be screwed into the inner side of the main body cavity (211a) or may be screwed into the outer surface. However, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 14, it is preferable that the vibration connecting portion (232) be formed in a spherical shape at the portion inserted into the main body cavity (211a).
[0135] The above-described vibration structure coupling member (230) may be configured to be fixedly coupled to the main body (210) as described above, or may be configured to have a vibration connection part (232) formed as a sphere and move within a certain angle as shown in FIGS. 12 and 14. In the latter case, a sphere coupling groove (217) should be further configured on the inside of the lower part of the main body cavity (211a) so that a sphere can be inserted and coupled and rotated. In addition, the main body cylinder (211) may further be configured with a friction control part (not shown) that applies pressure to the sphere coupling groove (217) from the outside to control the frictional force applied to the sphere inserted inside.
[0136] One or more vibration structures (220) may be coupled to the bottom surface of the vibration structure coupling member (230), but it is preferable that two or more vibration structures (220) are coupled, and more preferably, it is preferable that four vibration structures (220) are coupled. The area of the vibration structure coupling member (230) may be set according to the number of vibration structures (220) to be coupled, but it is preferable that it be set to an area in which four vibration structures (220) and a laser light-emitting device (250) can be configured in the center so that the operator can easily operate them during the procedure.
[0137] It is preferable that the above-mentioned vibration structure (220) be arranged in correspondence with the shape of the coupling base (231) of the vibration structure coupling member (230). For example, if the coupling base (231) is configured in a circular shape, the vibration structure (220) may be arranged in a circular radial shape at regular intervals, and if it is square, the vibration structure (220) may be arranged in correspondence with the corners or arranged at regular intervals along each side.
[0138] In addition, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, a laser emitting device (250) that receives power and control signals from a control device (290) and irradiates a laser is configured at the center of the bottom surface of the vibration structure connecting member (230).
[0139] The vibration structure (220) includes an elastic body (221), an elastic coupling member (222), a first vibration body (223), and a second vibration body (224), and may further include a vibration body coupling member (225) according to an embodiment.
[0140] One end of the elastic coupling member (222) is coupled to the vibration structure coupling member (230).
[0141] The elastic body (221) may be a spring, a spring-type coupling (poly), etc., and is inserted into the elastic coupling member (222). The elastic body (221) may be coupled so that one end is fixed to the bottom surface of the vibration structure coupling member (230).
[0142] The first vibrating body (223) is connected to the other end of the elastic coupling member (222) while the elastic body (221) is inserted into the elastic coupling member (222) and is in close contact with the elastic body (221) to generate a first vibration under the control of the control device (290). When the first vibration occurs, the elastic body (221) enhances the vibration force.
[0143] As shown in Fig. 16, the second vibrator (224) is attached to the outer surface of the lower part of the first vibrator (223) so as to protrude downward so as to touch the skin, and generates a second vibration under the control of the control device (290).
[0144] It is preferable that one first vibrator (223) is composed of two or more second vibrators (224), but it is preferable that there are four of them as shown in Fig. 16.
[0145] The first vibrating body (223) includes a motor support member (223b) that secures the first vibrating body (223) by wrapping the upper part of the first motor (223a) that generates the first vibration by being connected to the elastic coupling member (222) and being in close contact with the elastic body (221) as shown in Fig. 17, or the upper part of the first motor (223a) and the lower part of the elastic body (221).
[0146] The second vibrator (224) includes a motor protection member (224a) that has a hollow portion in the center with at least an open lower portion and is coupled to the lower outer surface of the first motor (223a), and a second motor (224b) that is inserted into the hollow portion and coupled so as to protrude from the motor protection member (224a) at a lower portion that touches the skin and generates a second vibration.
[0147] The vibrating body coupling member (225) wraps around, fixes, and supports the first vibrating body (223) and a plurality of second vibrating bodies (224) coupled to the first vibrating body (223).
[0148] In the above description, the case where the motor support member (223b) and the vibrating body coupling member (225) are configured is described, but it may also be configured with only one vibrating body coupling member that surrounds the entire first vibrating body (223) and the second vibrating body (224) (excluding the protruding portion of the second motor (224b)).
[0149] A plurality of vibration structures (220) are controlled by a control device (290) to generate two or more vibrations having different cycles and torques to massage the patient's muscles in two or more rhythms.
[0150] The first motor (223a) can operate at a first cycle (rotational speed) and a first torque, and the second motor (224b) can operate at a second cycle (rotational speed) and a second torque. It is preferable that the rotational speed of the second motor (224b) is greater than the rotational speed of the first motor (223a), and the rotational torque of the first motor (223a) is greater than the rotational torque of the second motor (224b).
[0151] In addition, the first motor (223a) and the second motor (224b) may be formed in a cylindrical structure or may be formed in a cantilever structure.
[0152] As described in the first embodiment above, it is preferable that the first motor (223a) have a rotational speed of 8000 to 15000 RPM and have a rotational force and rotational torque greater than those of the second motor (224b).
[0153] And, it is preferable that the second motor (224b) be configured to have a rotation speed of 8000 to 24000 RPM, so as to have a rotation speed that is faster than that of the first motor (223a), and it is preferable that the rotational force and rotational torque are configured to be smaller than those of the first motor (223a).
[0154] The low-energy laser light source device (250) receives power from the control device (290) and is controlled to deliver heat to the patient's muscles.
[0155] To explain the structure of the muscle restoration equipment (100) in more detail, a plurality of vibration structures (220), a laser light source device (250), and a control device (290) are mounted and connected to a main body (210) forming a central structure.
[0156] At the bottom of the muscle recovery equipment (100), the lower end of each of a plurality of vibration structures (220) protrudes, and at the top, a blocking member (216) covering the main body cavity (211a) of the main body (210) is formed, and at the upper end of the blocking member (216), an operating unit (240) electrically connected to a control device (290) is formed.
[0157] The above-described operating unit (240) is preferably configured at the upper end of the blocking member (216) as shown in FIG. 12, but may be configured at any location on the outer circumference of the main body (210) depending on the embodiment. The operating unit (240) may include one or more of a vibration switch, a laser switch, and a control switch, which will be described later, and may also be configured with a display device (not shown) that displays information according to the operating state.
[0158] The electrical connection between the control device (290) and the vibration structure (220) may be made through the main body cavity (211a), the internal conduit of the elastic coupling member (222), etc., or may be made by creating a separate hole for electrical wiring. However, since such electrical wiring can be configured in various ways by those skilled in the art according to the configuration of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
[0159] The control device (290) may drive only the first vibrator (223), only the second vibrator (224), or both the first vibrator (223) and the second vibrator (224) simultaneously, depending on the operator's manipulation of the operator's manipulation unit (240). In addition, the control device (290) may be configured to slightly delay each of the plurality of second vibrator bodies (224) so that they vibrate at different rhythms, depending on the operator's manipulation of the operator's manipulation unit (240).
[0160] The practitioner holds the muscle restoration equipment (100) in his / her hand, brings the protruding part of the lower vibration structure (220) into contact with the skin, and allows the multiple vibrations of the vibration structure (220) and the light irradiated from the laser light emitting device (250) to affect the skin.
[0161] The muscle restoration equipment (100) is a treatment device that automatically raises the skin temperature to 37-40℃ (99-104℉) and then breaks up the adhered muscles, similar to how an excavator vibrates asphalt to break it up. To this end, multiple motors are applied to the vibration structure (220). However, since direct contact with the skin may damage the skin, a thin metal curved cover is applied to the protruding part of the motor that touches the skin. In addition, since the vibration of the motor generates heat at the contact part, the temperature around the muscle to be restored naturally also rises.
[0162] However, the surrounding temperature of the muscle to be restored must rise to 37-40℃ (99-104℉), but since the temperature cannot rise to this level with only the heat generated by the vibration of the motor and the frictional heat, a laser light emitting device (250) that generates a light source having a specific frequency is provided together with a vibration structure (220) so that the temperature around the muscle irradiated with the laser can rise when the muscle is irradiated with the laser.
[0163] This type of vibration therapy improves range of motion, increases subcutaneous blood flow, enhances muscle strength, and enhances kinesthetic perception. Mechanical vibrational exercise is provided through vibration, which is defined as the oscillatory changes in force, acceleration, and displacement over time.
[0164] Furthermore, the device of the present invention is designed to apply two or more levels of vibration to the muscles. Level 1 vibration, generated by each vibration motor, breaks down calcium deposits in the muscles and softens adhered muscles. The heat generated by the rapid rotation of the motors maintains temperature deep within the muscles, acts to separate adhered muscles, and dissolves inflammation and foreign substances from calcified muscles.
[0165] That is, in order to apply the maximum soft yet strong stimulation to the muscles, a second vibrator (224) having a second motor (224b) is attached to a first vibrator (223) having a slightly stronger first motor (223a), so that while the protrusions of a plurality of second motors (224b) that are in direct contact with the skin stimulate the calcified muscles, the slightly stronger first motor (223a) operates simultaneously, thereby stimulating the calcified muscles as much as possible and playing a role in breaking up the calcium.
[0166] The second-stage vibration transmits vibration power by connecting the first motor (223a) to a vibration connecting member (222) such as an aluminum tube, so that the entire main body exhibits vibration capability. The second-stage vibration causes each of the aluminum tubes, which are vibration connecting members (222) connected to the four motors provided in the main body (210), to vibrate, and the aluminum tubes vibrate the main body (210). The vibration caused by this serves to gently prepare the muscle area to be restored, and the vibration of each motor head, which is the first-stage vibration, breaks the muscle and causes the heat generated by the motor rotation to melt lime or foreign substances in the muscle.
[0167] By applying double vibration to the skin in this way, the present invention can improve or remove the adhesions in damaged muscles with calcification and adhesions, as shown in 1011 of FIG. 21, and turn them into healthy muscles, as shown in 1012.
[0168]
[0169] Fig. 18 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a muscle restoration device according to a third embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 19 is an exploded view showing the main body of the muscle restoration device according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 20 is a perspective view showing the main body of the muscle restoration device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. The following description will be given with reference to Figs. 18 to 20.
[0170] The upper part of the main body (210) of the present invention according to the third embodiment is open like the first embodiment, and the lower part is closed. That is, the upper part of the main body cavity (211a) of the main body cylinder (211) of the main body (210) is open, and the lower part is closed.
[0171] According to another embodiment of the third embodiment, the main body (210) may be configured with a bottom flange (212) that extends and protrudes from the bottom surface of the main body cylinder (211) and an upper flange (213) that extends and protrudes from the top surface of the main body cylinder (211) so as to have a radius larger than the radius of the main body, while the bottom surface is closed.
[0172] The vibration structure (220) of the present invention according to the third embodiment may be coupled to the closed lower part of the main body cylinder (211) of the closed main body (210) as shown in FIG. 18, or may be coupled to the lower surface of the lower flange (212).
[0173] The above-mentioned bottom flange (212) and top flange (213) may have multiple through holes (bottom through holes (212a), top through holes (213a)) formed at the same location.
[0174] When the above-described bottom flange (213) and top flange (213) are configured and the bottom through hole (212a) and top through hole (213a) are configured, according to another embodiment, the elastic coupling member (222) of the vibration structure (220) may be formed long enough to correspond to the length of the main body cylinder (211) so that it may be coupled by penetrating the bottom through hole (212a) of the bottom flange (212) and the top through hole (213a) of the top flange (213) as in the first embodiment.
[0175] In addition, according to another embodiment of the third embodiment, an intermediate flange (214) may be further formed to protrude and have a radius larger than the radius of the main body cylinder (211) at any portion between the bottom flange (212) and the upper flange (213) of the main body cylinder (211), and the intermediate flange (214) may also have an intermediate through hole (214a) formed at the same position as the position of the bottom through hole (212a) of the bottom flange (212) and the upper through hole (213a) of the upper flange (213).
[0176] The intermediate flange (214) and the intermediate through hole (214a) may be configured one or more, and protect the elongated elastic joint member (222) from bending and breaking, and more strongly connect and support the elastic joint member (222).
[0177] To explain again, a plurality of bottom through holes (212a) are formed along the circumference of the bottom flange (212), a plurality of middle through holes (214a) are formed along the circumference of the middle flange (214), and a plurality of top through holes (213a) are formed along the circumference of the top flange (213). The bottom through holes (212a), the middle through holes (214a), and the top through holes (213a) are formed in positions that are aligned with each other in the vertical direction and face each other, so that the vibration structure (220) is connected by penetrating the through holes (212a, 213a, 124a), and the elastic coupling members (222) inserted into the vertically aligned through holes can be firmly fixed in the vertical direction. The vibration structure (220) is not placed in a closed position inside the main body cylinder (211), but is placed so as to be exposed in an open position through an outer flange (212, 213, 214), so that the operation of the vibration structure (220) can be easily observed, replacement can be easily made, and according to an embodiment, a laser light source device (250) can be easily configured in the center of the main body cylinder (211).
[0178] By arranging the first vibrator (223) and the second vibrator (224) in series, the present invention enables larger composite vibrations to be generated, while simultaneously increasing the skin area to which vibrations can be applied by configuring four second motors (224b) that directly contact the skin with the first motor (223a) of one first vibrator (223), and widely dispersing heat without damaging the skin, so that hardened muscles can be softened without damaging the skin in contact. In the vibrating motor, far-infrared heat is generated by the magnet inside the motor, and if the heat is concentrated in one place, there is a risk of skin burns, but by dividing the vibration of the same magnitude and generating it by two motors, there is an effect of dispersing the heat.
[0179] The first motor (223a) has the effect of strengthening the vibration of the first vibrating body (223) due to its large rotational torque. However, this may generate high-temperature far-infrared heat, which may have a negative effect on the skin. However, by additionally providing the second motor (224b) at the skin contact location, it is separated from the skin and has a distance, thereby reducing the risk of burns.
[0180] The second motor (224) is a motor located at the contact point of the terminal, and although it rotates at high speed, the sensation felt on the skin is soft due to the small rotational torque, and the heat generation is low, so it is at a level where you feel a warm sensation, and thus has the effect of protecting against burns.
