THERMOELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE FOR NECK-COLLAR ZONE MASSAGE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC A61F7/00 A61H11/00 A61H39/08 A61N2/00 H01L35/28 F25B21/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: thermoelectric semiconductor device for neck-collar zone massage contains a flexible elastically deformable base with a possibility to cover the neck-collar zone. The base is made in the form of an elastic interlayer, on which thermoelectric modules (TEM) are fixed. The working junctions of the TEM are in thermal contact with the high-conductivity gel layer containing the thermal sensor, and the reference junctions with the evaporation heat sink system common to the whole TEM assembly. The elastic interlayer contains ferromagnetic needle elements located between each adjacent pair of TEMs. Magnetic action in the device is created by wires surrounding each ferromagnetic needle element with the opposite direction of winding at adjacent ferromagnetic needle elements feeding the corresponding TEM. TEM and ferromagnetic needle elements attachment to the elastic interlayer is made taking into account exclusion of influence in the spinal column area.

EFFECT: combined function of alternating heating and cooling massage applicators in a single device, with a possibility to create a temperature regime, a magnet exposure regime and mechanical massage with vibration function.
