Abstract
An energy treatment device includes a treatment portion that receives a supply of energy and treats a treatment target, a controller that controls the supply of energy with respect to the treatment portion, a converter that is configured to receive heat energy generated with the treatment of the treatment target, and to convert a temperature difference into an electric energy, and a receiver that receives the electric energy converted at the converter.
Claims4
An energy treatment device comprising:
- a treatment portion configured to receive a supply of energy to treat a treatment target;
- a controller configured to control the supply of energy with respect to the treatment portion;
- a converter configured to receive heat energy generated during treatment of the treatment target, and the converter is configured to convert the received heat energy into electric energy based on a temperature difference between (i) heat generated by energy applied by the treatment portion, and (ii) a portion of the energy treatment device that has a lower temperature than the treatment portion;
- a receiver configured to receive the electric energy converted by the converter;
- and
- a switch configured to electrically disconnect the converter and the receiver when the energy is supplied to the treatment portion, and the switch is configured to electrically connect the converter and the receiver when the supply of energy to the treatment portion is stopped.
