SPECIFICATION

METHOD OF APPLICATION OF MULTIPLE HAIR CHANNEL OPENING ROBOT

Technical Area

The invention relates to a method for the application of a multi- hair channel opening robot for use in hair transplantation with an angle and a direction meter, a counter and the possibility to use it in the palm.

Infrastructure of the Invention

Hair loss problems occur in individuals, from a certain age, or due to environmental conditions. People are able to solve these problems by means of hair transplantation, so that they have strong and healthy hair. Hair transplantation is the most common type of treatment against hair loss with the advancement of technology. It is the aesthetic operations aimed at people who have hair loss as a result of various factors such as age, genetic or disease and accident. Hair transplantation is the process of placing healthy hairs that are taken from the regions of the person with hair (from the temple and nape section) in areas with hair loss. The hair in the regions where healthy hair is located is named as donor.

Due to the hair loss, people feel themselves insufficient and ugly from the moment their hair starts to fall out and become scarce. Because the most noticeable places of people are their hair.

Robot technology used in the present art is also involved in hair surgery. In robotic hair surgery, robots and hair roots are collected. During the operations with robots, the operator at the computer can intervene to the hair transplantation robot if he deems it necessary. In case the operator does not intervene, the robot will automatically detect the hair follicles and automatically determine which root to take in the next step. The direction of hair canal opening -i.e., right and left tilt angle; and the angle is horizontal or perpendicular- is very important. In addition, to prevent unnecessary extra incisions in the skin while opening the hair channel it is required to know exactly how many hair channels are opened. When opening channels, it is extremely important not to damage the existing natural hair follicles and to count the opening of the hair canal to the right and left parts of the head in order to achieve a natural result.

The present invention, that is a multi-channel opening device, is advantageous as it eases the opening of hair channels, which is extremely exhausting and requires high concentration. With the present invention, extra incision is not made unnecessarily when opening the hair channels. Thanks to the angle and directional characteristics of the multi-channel opening device, the direction (right and left tilt) and angle (horizontal or perpendicular) of the hair channels that are opened to achieve natural results in hair transplantation can be determined. In addition, it does not damage the natural hair follicles and it can be counted how many hair channels are opened to the right and left parts of the head.

The structural and characteristic features and all advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the detailed description. For this reason, this assessment should be made by considering these figures and detailed explanation.

6. Engine Detailed explanation of the Invention

The invention is explained in detail using the angle meter (1 ), the input buttons (2), the central controller (3), the warning systems (4) (led, buzzer and LCD), the motor drive (5) and the motor (6) references.

The operation steps of the method for the application of the multi- hair canal opening robot which allows the use in the palm with counters, counters and LED indicators for use in hair transplantation are as follows:

• during the operation of the patient to enter the central control device (3) by making all the inputs via the input buttons (2) to determine the depth of the incision and the speed at which these incisions will be made,

• if the user is using the angle information during the operation, he / she can monitor with the help of the screen in the warning systems (4),

• the cut speed of the cut to be made with the cut speed is adjusted in 5 steps,

• specifying how many mm cuts will be made into the skin of the cut to be made with the depth of the incision,

• when the tip change is made by hand, the end is returned to the default position of the linear motor (6) in which the linear motor shaft (6) is 0 mm out of position and the linear motor (6) will stop at this position while the device is not running or sleeping;

• the unit of the angle meter (1 ) in the device is to make the color settings of the informative led with the led settings that continuously measure the angle information according to the gravity of the device by determining a reference,

• the central control device (3) evaluates this data and saves it for use during operation,

• the user of the central control device (3) from the warning systems (4) led unit to warn the user if overheating of the incision robot or in the event of a failure in the robot's motor driver (5),

• when the cut-out button is pressed between the input buttons (2) during operation, the motor driver (5) processes the necessary commands, • if the depth adjustment mode is active according to the angle information of the robot, the angle information should be processed by the central control device (3) momentarily to send the necessary commands to the motor driver (5)

• the motor drive (5) is to transfer the required power settings to the motor (6) unit by evaluating the cut-out due to the information provided by the cutter blades connected to the motor (6) and the corresponding power settings.

The present invention processes information from the central processor (3) input buttons (2) and the angle meter (1 ) unit. It then executes the decision making algorithms in itself and the results of the algorithms are transmitted to the motor drive (5) and warning systems (4) unit. The warning systems (4) are the unit that performs the user's perception of any warnings or information from the central control device. The motor driver (5) is responsible for all movements of the motor and the motor (6) for transmitting information from the central control device (5) to the motor (6).

The invention automatically maintains its depth thanks to the system in which the hair channel opening robot changes position. The angle information is momentarily transmitted to the central controller (3). When the device changes its angle, the end of the device moves and calibrates automatically so that the channel to be opened remains at the same depth. There are 5 different speed modes. In manual mode, incision can be made by hand.

The technical and other features mentioned in each claim follow a reference number. These reference numbers are only used to facilitate understanding of the claims. They should therefore not be construed as limiting the scope of any of the elements indicated by these reference numbers for illustrative purposes.

It is evident that a skilled person in the art will also be able to demonstrate the novelty set forth in the invention by using similar methods and / or apply this method to other similar purposes as used in the art. Thus, it is obvious that such methods will not be deemed to be novelty and in particular will be deprived of the criteria for exceeding the state of the art.
