THERMOELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE FOR MASSAGE OF THE CERVICAL-COLLAR ZONE 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 massage of the neck-collar zone contains a flexible elastically deformable base with the possibility of covering 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. Elastic interlayer contains ferromagnetic needle elements located between each adjacent pair of TEM. 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. Fastening of TEM and ferromagnetic needle elements on an elastic interlayer is made taking into account exclusion of influence at the area of the spinal column.

EFFECT: combination of the function of alternating heating and cooling massage applicators in a single device, with the possibility of creating a temperature regime and a mode of magnet exposure.
