Abstract

Provided is a magnetic stimulation type medical care device including a main body for generating a magnetic stimulation and various probes electrically connected to the main body to stimulate a skin of a patient through non-contact deep penetration. The magnetic stimulation type medical care device includes a main body for generating a voltage and at least one probe in which a coil for generating a magnetic field from the voltage generated in the main body is built, the at least one probe being electrically connected to the main body.

Claims (20)

1. A magnetic stimulation medical care device comprising:

a main body for generating a voltage; and

at least one probe in which a coil for generating a magnetic field from the voltage generated in the main body is built, the at least one probe being electrically connected to the main body,

wherein the at least one probe is electrically connected to a connection terminal of the main body by a connection plug, and the connection plug comprises a coupling member rotatably hinged where a hook protrusion is provided and is detachably connected to the connection terminal and where the hook protrusion is hooked with a hook disposed on an end of the connection terminal.

2. The magnetic stimulation medical care device according to claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises the following components:

an alternating current (AC) voltage supply part;

a transformer connected to the AC voltage supply part to boost an AC voltage;

a voltage supply regulation part for regulating the AC voltage flowing from the AC voltage supply part into the transformer;

a diode for rectifying and charging the AC voltage boosted by the transformer; and

a control part for discharging the voltage into the coil within the probe and controlling the AC voltage regulation by the AC supply regulation part.

3. The magnetic stimulation medical care device according to claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises a handle for portable use, front and rear covers, and left and right covers for covering left and right opened sides thereof,

wherein the front and rear covers and the left and right covers are assembled or dissembled with each other, and a plurality of support legs corresponding to each other protrude from lower ends of the front and rear covers so that the front and rear covers stand upright.

4. The magnetic stimulation medical care device according to claim 2 , wherein the main body further comprises the following components: an LCD module that is a display unit, a button assembly on which a plurality of manipulation buttons are assembled, and a connection terminal for connecting the at least one probe to each other, and the control part controls an overall operation of the device with respect to operations of the components of said device due to the manipulation of the manipulation buttons.

5. The magnetic stimulation medical care device according to claim 3 , wherein the main body further comprises an upper cover having a circular shape on an upper central portion thereof, each of the front and rear covers comprises a semicircular-shaped uneven part on an upper central portion thereof, and the upper cover is fixed by hooks coupling the front cover and the rear cover.

6. The magnetic stimulation medical care device according to claim 5 , wherein hook protrusions connected to an upper portion of the main body protrude from both ends of the handle in left and right directions,

hook grooves to which the hook protrusions are fixed by hooks after a coupling of the front and rear covers are defined outside the semicircular-shaped uneven parts of the front and rear covers, respectively.

7. The magnetic stimulation medical care device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one probe comprises a wire part that is an extending part of a lead wire and a coil part into which a discharged voltage is supplied from the main body at an end of the wire part, and the wire part and the coil part are divided into a stick part in which the wire part is built and a head part in which the coil part is built in the wire part and the coil part is received into upper and lower case members for covering the wire part and the coil part.

8. The magnetic stimulation medical care device according to claim 7 , wherein the lower case member comprises a fitting protrusion at a center of a receiving convex part on which the coil part is seated, and the coil part is fixed by a coupling of the upper case member in a state where the coil part is fitted into the fitting protrusion.

9. The magnetic stimulation medical care device according to claim 8 , wherein the upper case member and the lower case member comprise a body case for receiving the wire part and a head case for receiving the coil part, a hinge member is connected between the body case and the head case, and the head part is rotatable with respect to a center of the hinge member according to an angle of a portion of a human body for using the at least one probe.

10. The magnetic stimulation medical care device according to claim 7 , wherein the coil part has a hollow circular plate shape.
