Abstract

Development in medical technology has played a crucial role in increasing disease survival rate and life expectancy. And the development of medical devices has led to the development of portable medical devices that can be conveniently used in homes to accommodate modern people’s busy lives. Infrared therapy devices, portable physical therapy devices, and electric massage machines are now commonly used in homes. An acoustic vibration health care device is now one such device. The device was developed based on research that showed when micro acoustic and vibration signals were applied to the damaged body parts, the resulting microscopic stimulation healed wounded cells, shortened the recovery time, and promoted cell division. We conducted this study to understand acoustic vibration health care device’s electromagnetic field characteristics and improve their performance. Using the ANSYS Workbench, we analyzed the magnetic flux density of the device’s permanent magnets. To increase the device’s vibration force, we stacked the magnets of equal size and identical material properties, ran a simulation, and compared the results. We aim to use the data collected from analyzing the magnetic field characteristics and the permanent magnets’ characteristics to improve the designs of acoustic vibration health care devices.
