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. The working junctions of the TEMs are in thermal contact with the high-conductivity gel layer containing the thermal sensor, and the reference junctions - with the air cooler. 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. Fastening of TEM and ferromagnetic needle elements on the elastic interlayer is performed taking into account exclusion of influence on the area of the spinal column.

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.
