Bathing devices with therapeutic ultrasound
The present disclosure is generally directed towards an ultrasonic showering device. The ultrasonic showering device includes a head portion including a plurality of nozzles that dispense a fluid, a movement component that detects movement of the head portion, and an ultrasonic transducer that generates and transmits ultrasonic energy. The ultrasonic showering device includes a handle portion including a controller that operates the ultrasonic transducer based on the movement component.
1 . An ultrasonic showering device, comprising:
a head portion including a plurality of nozzles configured to dispense a fluid, a movement component, which includes at least one roller ball, configured to detect and guide movement of the head portion, and an ultrasonic transducer configured to generate and transmit ultrasonic energy; and
a handle portion including a controller configured to operate the ultrasonic transducer based on the movement component.
2 . The ultrasonic showering device of claim 1 , wherein the handle portion further includes a battery configured to operate the ultrasonic transducer.
3 . The ultrasonic showering device of claim 1 , wherein the handle portion includes a cord configured to electrically couple the ultrasonic transducer to an electricity source.
4 . The ultrasonic showering device of claim 1 , wherein:
the ultrasonic transducer is positioned at a center portion of the head portion; and
the plurality of nozzles and the movement component are positioned circumferentially around the ultrasonic transducer.
5 . The ultrasonic showering device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to cause the ultrasonic transducer to generate ultrasonic energy at a frequency in the range of 1 MHz to 3 MHz.
6 . An ultrasonic cosmetic device, comprising:
a head portion including an ultrasonic transducer configured to generate and transmit ultrasonic energy; and
a handle portion including a controller configured to operate the ultrasonic transducer;
wherein at least one of the head portion or the handle portion includes a movement component, which includes at least one roller ball, configured to detect and guide movement of the ultrasonic cosmetic device; and
wherein the controller is configured to selectively control the ultrasonic transducer based on the movement component.
7 . The ultrasonic cosmetic device of claim 6 , wherein the movement component further comprises at least one of an accelerometer, a camera, an infrared light sensor, a visible light sensor, a microphone, an acoustic sensor, a triboelectric sensor, an inertia-switch sensor, a temperature, or a vibration sensor.
8 . The ultrasonic cosmetic device of claim 6 , wherein the handle portion further includes a battery configured to operate the ultrasonic transducer.
9 . The ultrasonic cosmetic device of claim 6 , wherein the ultrasonic transducer is positioned at a center portion of the head portion.
10 . The ultrasonic cosmetic device of claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to cause the ultrasonic transducer to generate ultrasonic energy at a frequency in the range of 1 MHz to 3 MHz.
11 . The ultrasonic cosmetic device of claim 6 , wherein the head portion further includes at least one nozzle configured to dispense a moisturizer.
12 . The ultrasonic showering device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one roller ball protrudes outward beyond the plurality of nozzles and is configured to engage with a surface to guide the head portion along the surface by rolling the at least one roller ball.
