Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for generating shock waves, in particular for medical application according to the preamble of claims 1 and 4.
  • Such devices are used in medical technology, for example in urology as Nierensteinzertrümmerer, in orthopedics in non-healing bone fractures or tendon tendinosis tendons or more generally for the promotion of wound healing for decades.
  • the electrodes, between which shock waves are generated by spark discharge are subject to considerable wear.
  • the discharge current oscillates between the capacitor, an inductive resistor and the electrode tips (surge circuit) several times. Repeatedly reversing the voltage at the electrode tips and reversing the electron flow direction between the tips. During several oscillation cycles, impact ionization of the water occurs between the tips and their surroundings. This impact ionization leads to partial decomposition of the water into hydrogen, oxygen and hydroxide ions. These are significantly responsible for the formation of the plasma bubble between the
  • DE 197 18 512 C1 discloses a method and a device which proposes to mix in the liquid a catalyst by which the electrolytic formation of gas is completely or partially suppressed when the high voltage is applied to the electrodes and which catalytically transforms all or part of the gas produced during the application of the high voltage to the electrodes and during the electrical breakdown into its initial state
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a device of the type mentioned above, by means of the efficiency and the lifetime the device is considerably increased compared to the previously known, in which the formation of hydrogen, oxygen and hydroxide ions between the electrode tips is not hindered. Rather, it is the object of the invention to provide a device which prevents the escape of hydrogen, stores it and completely facilitates the re-reaction in water molecules.
  • the hydrogen storage can be added to the water both in dissolved or suspended form as well as in colloidal suspension. This is possible even as sediment, since this is swirled again in the reaction space by shaking the volume or by the fluid turbulence generated by the shock wave itself
  • Another way to bind the free hydrogen molecules is to apply the hydrogen storage on the surface of the housing surrounding the electrodes. Also in the vicinity of the electrodes, support materials, e.g. fine reticular structures containing hydrogen storage on the surface.
  • the hydrogen storage may consist of bound or unbound nanoparticles or microparticles, of films or sponge-like layers on surfaces. Common to this hydrogen storage is that the released by the Stossionisation hydrogen atoms that are reacted to hydrogen molecules are held in the liquid and that thus reacts the free oxygen molecules present in the liquid with the hydrogen stored in the hydrogen storage and water molecules is formed.
  • an inventive embodiment is shown, which will be explained in more detail below.
  • the sole figure shows a device for generating shock waves with a pair of electrodes in a housing in which water and a storage medium is embedded.
  • shock waves 2 should be generated, which can be used for a medical application, for example, for the kidney stone fragmentation.
  • the device 1 consists of a sound-permeable housing 3, in which a pair of electrodes 4 are arranged opposite to each other. Inside the housing 3 water 5 is filled. Between the opposing electrodes 4, a high voltage is applied, at the breakthrough of which a plasma bubble is generated which in turn generates a shock wave 2 in water.
  • the shock waves 2 pass through the housing 3 to the outside and are aligned by a focusing device, not shown, such that, for example, a kidney stone can be smashed in the human body.
  • a plurality of hydrogen storage 11 are present in the water 5. Furthermore, the inside of the housing 3 may be covered with a storage layer 16 in order to keep the hydrogen molecules 6 inside the housing 3 and thus in the water 5.
  • the storage medium 11 can for example consist of a synthetic resin bead 12 whose surface is formed of nano- or microparticles. At these surface structures, a nitrogen compound 13 is provided, at the free end of each of which a palladium particle 14 is attached.
  • the palladium particles 14 have a metallized outer layer through which the existing in the water 5 Hydrogen molecules 6 are bound. Accordingly, three chemical reactions take place between the metallized outer layer of the palladium particles 14 and the hydrogen molecules 7 present in the water 5:
  • the storage layer 16 which may be formed as a film, sponge, grid or mesh, may consist of various layers, on the surface of a hydrogen storage, such as palladium particles 14, adhere or are bonded.
  • the outer surfaces of the electrodes 4 and / or the material of the electrode insulation 17 may be covered with the storage layer 16. It is particularly advantageous if the barrier layer 16 is arranged directly in the region of the spark gap occurring between the electrodes 4, because this ensures that the oxygen molecules 7 react directly with the hydrogen molecules 6 in the area of the spark formation and therefore arise outside the plasma bubble. Due to the chemical fact that hydrogen molecules 6 are extremely difficult to store and to retain in the envelope, it is intended to additionally introduce chemical substances into the water 5 through which hydrogen molecules 6 are additionally made available. For example, hydrazine molecules 15 or dilute organic or inorganic acids or salts can be provided, through which hydrogen 6, for example in the form of hydronium ions, is released to the water 5. This is necessary in order to ensure that the oxygen molecules 7 formed by the stoistisation always have enough reaction partners to form water molecules 5.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif (1) pour produire des ondes de choc (2) destinées en particulier à des applications médicales, le dispositif comprenant un boîtier (3) perméable aux ondes de choc (2); au moins une paire d'électrodes (4) disposées à l'intérieur du boîtier (3), entre lesquelles une tension respective destinée à la production des ondes de choc (2) peut être régulée; et un liquide (5) qui entoure les électrodes (4) et est constitué en partie ou en intégralité d'une pluralité de molécules d'eau (H<SUB>2</SUB>O). L'invention a pour objet d'améliorer le rendement et la durée de vie du dispositif (1) de façon conséquente par rapport à l'état de la technique, sans altérer la formation d'ions hydrogène, oxygène et hydroxyde entre les pointes des électrodes (4). L'objet de l'invention est plutôt la conception d'un dispositif (1) qui empêche le dégagement d'hydrogène (6), assure son stockage et permet la réaction inverse complète pour donner des molécules d'eau.
