THERMOTHERAPEUTIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAID DEVICE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61H15/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medicine, namely to thermo-therapeutic device for thermal massage with one specified intensity and method of its control. Device contains a thermo-ceramic module, a weight sensor and a controller. Thermo-ceramic module includes a housing, the first and the second support plate, a drive for lifting and lowering, a ceramic element. First support plate is located on the housing, and the second one is located on the first plate. Drive is connected to the lower part of the first support plate and is configured to move the first support plate in the vertical direction on the housing base. Weight sensor is located on lower surface of second support plate and measures pressure created by user's body. Controller is designed to control adjustment and implementation of massage mode in thermo-ceramic module, controls height of movement provided by drive of lifting and lowering, in accordance with pressure of user's body. Controller provides constant pressure on user through ceramic element based on preset desired intensity. At that, controller determines whether preset time interval has passed without preset pressure change after weight sensor has fixed value of pressure above first initial pressure value or equal to it. Massage mode is initiated by the controller automatically when the state in which the pressure value is higher than the first initial pressure value or is equal to it and does not change is stored for a predetermined time. Method comprises setting the massage mode of thermo-ceramic module. User's body pressure is measured. It is determined whether the preset time interval has passed without a preset pressure change after the weight sensor has fixed the pressure value higher than the first initial pressure value or equal to it. Method of controlling the massage mode of the thermo-ceramic module is controlled, during which adjustment of the height of movement provided by the lifting and lowering drive, occurs in accordance with pressure created by the user's body and measured by the weight sensor, in order to ensure constant pressure on the user through the ceramic element based on a predetermined desired intensity.

EFFECT: providing a thermotherapeutic device designed to provide the same pressure for each user or for each part of the user's body with a given intensity of massage, with the possibility of recognizing the user on the pressure distribution created by his body, and according to his body type, with possibility of automatic control of massage setting and realization, and method of this device control.
