Definitions

• This invention is a numerically controlled machine which will remove the human factor providing application of the ultrasonic deep heating device used in ultrasound treatment within physiotherapy field on healthcare sector to the patient.
• the application method known is application of the ultrasonic deep heating device on an imaginary helical orbit by compressing on the muscles which are near to the vertebrae via hand of the expert healthcare officer without connecting to any machine or mechanism.
• This application lasts about 30 and 45 minutes.
• a power loss occurs on the healthcare officer who applies the treatment.
• Distraction also occurs by power loss and the officer gives harm to the patient by hindering the symmetrical movements required.
• Another disadvantage of the current method is that such healthcare officer cannot be interested with another patients, therefore healthcare officer problem is experienced for another treatments and needs in the healthcare organizations where such treatment is applied. Therefore, a backlog of patients appears in related units and appointments can be given after 6 to 8 months.
• Another problem aimed to resolve with the invention is the power loss which appears on the healthcare officer's arm who applied the ultrasonic deep heating device by hand for 30 to 45 minutes in the ultrasound treatment method. With such application, the ultrasonic deep heating device is applied more onto the same area on the patient's back and this provides harm to the patient. To resolve this problem by applying the ultrasonic deep heating device with the invented machine.
• Figure 6 View of the Axis Consisting of Ellipses Connected to Each Other of
• the invented "ultrasonic deep heating device application machine” ( Figure 1 , Figure 2) is applied near to the examination bed.
• Such device applies the predetermined treatment movements by applying a fixed compression with a pressure control onto the patient's back who lies facedown on the examination bed.
• the ultrasonic deep heating device application machine consists of 3 servomotor mechanisms, a programmable logical controller which gives command to servomotors (16), a 3 jointed control unit which provides sizing of predetermined treatment movements (15), a machine body (18) and telescopic face shields (12, 13, 14).
• the machine provides processing of predetermined treatment movements via a programmable logical control unit by changing it within desired sizes with interpolation method.
• the invented "ultrasonic deep heating application machine” has a 3 jointed console control unit (15) which provides to start the first movement by sizing the predetermined treatment methods for smooth application on the backs of the patients who have different sizes and sending such sizes to the programmed logical controller (16) during the application.
• the control unit is connected onto the machine body (18) with 3 jointed structure. Thus, initial settings will be done on desired placed on the patient's back.
• the invented ultrasonic deep heating application machine consists of mechanisms which can move on x, y and z axis, respectively. These mechanisms consist of servomotor (1 ), linear marine railway (3), threaded rod (4), shaft bearing (2), driving shaft flanged nut (6), linear car (8), cable carrier (5), cable carrier bearing
• Linear marine railways (3) are connected on the carrying structure (22).
• the threaded rod (4) has a bearing with a shaft bearing (2) over the carrying structure (22).
• These mechanisms have a cable carrier (5) which provides safe movement of cable systems required for medical equipment and power cables and cable carrier bearings (21 ) which facilitates movement of these cables.
• the ultrasonic deep heating application machine has a telescopic bellows (12,
• the ultrasonic deep heating application machine ( Figure 1 , Figure 2) consists of three servomotor mechanisms of which each will make the movement of one axis.
• First servomotor mechanism will move on coordinate x (9) along spine of the patient.
• Second servomotor (10) will provide the movement on y axis on the muscles adjacent to the vertebrae along shoulder width.
• Third servomotor mechanism (1 1 ) will provide the movement on coordinate z to create a vertical force on the back via acceleration and deceleration load cell (7) on the patient's back.
• the automation machine where ultrasonic deep heating device which provides a solution for the abovementioned problems will be applied is a numerically controlled machine that will be produced with mechatronics technology.
