THERMOELECTRIC SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE FOR NECK-COLLAR ZONE MASSAGE Russian patent published in 2018 - 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 poroelastic base with an ability to fit the neck and collar zone. The base is made in the form of an elastic interlayer, on which thermoelectric modules (TEM) are fixed. TEM hot junctions are in a thermal contact with a highly heat-conductive gel layer, containing a thermal sensor, and bearing junctions - with aluminium plates located in the cavity of an elastic fluid heat exchanger, common to the entire combination of thermoelectric modules and provided with fittings for flexible tubes connection. 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 the 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 a possibility of creation of a temperature regime and a magnetic exposure mode.
