Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of physiotherapy equipment, and in particular to a health-preserving foot thermometer based on terahertz waves. Background Art

[0002] As the pace of modern life accelerates, people's demand for health and wellness is increasing, especially the demand for improving physical condition through physical therapy. As an electromagnetic wave between microwaves and infrared rays, terahertz waves have unique biological effects and have been widely used in the fields of medicine and health in recent years. Terahertz waves can resonate with human cells, promote blood circulation, enhance cell activity, and have a certain warming effect. Therefore, they are used in physical therapy equipment, especially foot physical therapy equipment.

[0003] However, existing terahertz-based foot therapy devices have some obvious defects. First, terahertz waves have a weak ability to penetrate the human body, especially for thicker parts such as the soles of the feet, which is difficult for terahertz waves to effectively penetrate, resulting in limited therapeutic effects. Existing devices usually only perform physical therapy by placing the user's feet on the emitting surface of the device. The energy of the terahertz wave is mainly concentrated on the surface of the sole and cannot penetrate into the sole tissue, so the physical therapy effect is greatly reduced. Most devices actually only heat the soles of the feet and cannot give full play to the biological effects of terahertz waves.

[0004] Secondly, the emitting surface area of ​​existing devices is usually much larger than the sole area of ​​the user's foot. During the physical therapy process, the user's feet cannot completely cover the emitting surface, causing some terahertz waves to scatter outward. Since users are usually in a sitting position during physical therapy, and some users use electronic devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.) during this period, their eyes may inadvertently come into contact with the scattered terahertz waves. Although terahertz waves are less harmful to the human body as a whole, they may have adverse effects on sensitive organs such as the eyes, and long-term exposure may cause eye discomfort or even damage.

[0005] The existing terahertz foot therapy equipment lacks consideration of user habits in design, and is not optimized for the particularity of plantar tissue, resulting in unsatisfactory therapy effects and certain safety hazards. To this end, we propose a health-preserving foot thermometer based on terahertz waves. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Embodiment 1: See also Figure 1-Figure 5 The present invention provides a technical solution: a health-preserving foot heat instrument based on terahertz waves, comprising a foot heat instrument body 1, a physiotherapy board 2 is arranged on the foot heat instrument body 1, a receiving board 3 is installed on the physiotherapy board 2, there are two receiving boards 3, a terahertz wave transmitter 4 is installed in the foot heat instrument body 1, a resonant shell 5 is installed on the terahertz wave transmitter 4, the top of the resonant shell 5 is fixed to the bottom of the physiotherapy board 2, and the two receiving boards 3 are located directly above the resonant shell 5, and also includes: The adaptive mechanism 6 is installed on the physiotherapy board 2 to wrap the user's foot according to the different foot shapes of the user; The energy wave enhancement mechanism 7 is used to enhance the penetration of the terahertz wave, and is connected to the adaptive mechanism 6 to cooperate with the adaptive mechanism 6 to apply the terahertz wave to the user's feet from multiple directions.

[0022] The adaptive mechanism 6 includes a first through hole 61, a second through hole 62, and a third through hole 63 opened on the physiotherapy board 2. The first through hole 61, the second through hole 62, and the third through hole 63 each have two groups, and a single group corresponds to the position of one of the receiving plates 3. The first through hole 61, the second through hole 62, and the third through hole 63 in the single group are respectively located on both sides of the front, middle, and rear sections of the corresponding receiving plate 3, corresponding to the positions of the forefoot, midfoot, and rearfoot sections of the user, and the first through hole 61 and the second through hole 62 on one side of the receiving plate 3 are alternately arranged with the first through hole 61 and the second through hole 62 on the other side of the receiving plate 3, and the first memory wire 65, the second memory wire 66, and the third memory wire 67 are respectively fixed in the first through hole 61, the second through hole 62, and the third through hole 63 by a support frame 64, and a placement groove 68 is opened on the receiving plate 3. The number of the placement grooves 68 is equal to that of the second memory wire 66, and the second memory wire 66 is respectively located in one of the placement grooves 68.

[0023] After being heated, the first memory metal wire 65 is in an arc shape of the forefoot of the human foot, and the closer it is to the second through hole 62, the larger the arc. After being heated, the second memory metal wire 66 is in an arc shape, with small arcs at both ends and large arcs in the middle, forming an "n" shape distribution. The third memory metal wire 67 fits the shape of the posterior joint surface of the human root bone.

[0024] The energy wave enhancement mechanism 7 includes a first hose 71, a second hose 72, and a third hose 73 which are respectively connected to the first through hole 61, the second through hole 62, and the third through hole 63. The number of the first hose 71, the second hose 72, and the third hose 73 is the same as the first memory metal wire 65, the second memory metal wire 66, and the third memory metal wire 67, and they are respectively mounted on the outside thereof. A first wave outlet hole 74 is provided on the opposite side of the first hose 71 located on both sides of the single receiving plate 3, a second wave outlet hole 75 is provided above the second hose 72, and a third wave outlet hole 76 is provided on the side of the third hose 73 facing the second hose 72.

[0025] The inner walls of the first hose 71 , the second hose 72 , and the third hose 73 are all provided with a reflective coating.

[0026] Silicon zone plates 77 are disposed on the first wave-outlet hole 74 , the second wave-outlet hole 75 , and the third wave-outlet hole 76 .

[0027] A temperature sensor and a control module are provided in the foot thermometer body 1. The temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature on the therapy board 2 in real time and transmit the temperature data to the control module. The control module adjusts the power of the terahertz wave transmitter 4 in real time according to the received temperature data.

[0028] The foot thermometer body 1 is equipped with a corresponding remote controller or software.

[0029] Working principle: The user places the foot on the receiving plate 3, and the posterior joint of the root bone fits with the third hose 73, and then turns on the device through a remote controller or scanning, etc. The terahertz wave transmitter 4 in the foot thermometer body 1 generates terahertz waves, which are transmitted through the resonant shell 5, and part of them are transmitted to the two receiving plates 3 located directly above it. The receiving plate 3 homogenizes this part of the terahertz waves and acts evenly on the sole of the user's foot, while the other part of the terahertz waves will enter the first hose 71, the second hose 72, and the third hose 73 through the first through hole 61, the second through hole 62, and the third through hole 63, respectively, and the energy generated by the terahertz wave will increase the temperature in the first hose 71, the second hose 72, and the third hose 73, thereby causing the first memory wire 65, the second memory wire 66, and the third memory wire 67 to deform, that is, they can be restored to the preset shape after being heated. Since the deformation force of each memory wire is limited, during the recovery process, the corresponding hose will be driven to fit closely with the user's foot.

[0030] Specifically, after heating, the first memory metal wire 65 is in the shape of an arc of the forefoot of the human foot, and the closer it is to the second through hole 62, the larger the arc, which conforms to the structure of the forefoot of the human foot, thereby closely fitting the forefoot of the user; the second memory metal wire 66 is in an arc shape after heating, and the arcs at both ends are small and the arc in the middle are large, forming an "n" shape distribution. If the user has a flat foot, then due to the limitation of the sole of the user's foot, the second memory metal wire 66 will drive the second hose 72 to fit more tightly to the sole of the user. If the user has an arched foot, the second memory metal wire 66 can still drive the second hose 72 to fit the sole of the user.

[0031] Since the inner walls of the first hose 71, the second hose 72, and the third hose 73 are all provided with a reflective coating, the terahertz wave can be reflected and focused to prevent the terahertz wave from directly leaking to the outside. At the same time, the first wave outlet hole 74, the second wave outlet hole 75, and the third wave outlet hole 76 opened on the hose limit the position where the terahertz wave is discharged. The silicon wave zone plate 77 can focus the terahertz wave, improve the penetration and action depth of the wave, so that it can better perform physical therapy on the foot. As the temperature rises, the direction of each wave outlet hole faces the user's foot, ensuring that the terahertz wave fully acts on the user's foot.

[0032] During the operation of the device, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature on the therapy board 2 in real time and transmits the data to the control module. The control module adjusts the power of the terahertz wave transmitter 4 in real time according to the received temperature data to ensure that the device operates under safe and stable conditions and provides the best therapy effect for the user.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
