Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of physiotherapy equipment technology, and in particular relates to a massager. Background Art

[0002] Electric stimulation massagers can effectively soothe human muscles by applying pulsed current to the human body, thereby accelerating blood circulation in the muscles. Existing massagers usually use electrodes to contact the human body, thereby emitting pulsed current to the contacted parts. However, when the overall conformity of the electrode to the skin is poor and the contact with the human skin is not close, the contact area between the electrode and the human body is small, which may result in a small resistance value in the path. When the voltage is constant, the electrode will generate a large stimulation current when electrically stimulating the human body, resulting in a tingling sensation, which seriously affects the user experience.

[0032] The massager 10 includes a massager body 110 and an electrode member 120 mounted on the massager body 110 .

[0033] The massager body 110 includes a power supply unit that is electrically connected to the electrode member 120, thereby supplying power to the electrode member 120. The electrode member 120 may include a contact surface 1201 that can be adapted to conform to a predetermined portion of the human body. This allows the power supply unit to supply power to the electrode member 120, which in turn transmits a corresponding pulsed current from the contact surface 1201 to the predetermined portion of the human body, thereby providing an electrical stimulation massage to the predetermined portion.

[0034] In this embodiment, the electrode member 120 includes a plurality of closely arranged conductive portions 121 and an insulating portion 122. Any two adjacent conductive portions 121 are separated by an insulating portion 122. The massager body 110 as a whole can be approximately annular, and the electrode member 120 can be mounted on the inner wall of the massager body 110. By placing the massager body 110 on a predetermined part of the human body (e.g., the cervical spine, arms, legs, etc.), the electrode member 120 on the inner wall of the massager body 110 can contact the predetermined part. At this point, the side of each conductive portion 121 facing away from the inner wall of the massager body 110 can together form the fitting surface 1201 described above.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, each conductive portion 121 is electrically connected to the power supply unit separately, and a plurality of conductive portions 121 are arranged in parallel.

[0036] Therefore, in the above-mentioned scheme of the present application, by dividing the electrode member 120 of the massager 10 into a plurality of conductive parts 121 arranged closely and in parallel, and ensuring that the resistance of each conductive part 121 is roughly equal, it is possible to make it possible for any conductive part 121 to be in contact with a preset part of the human body, to send a constant pulse current to the preset part alone, and the conductive part 121 that is not in contact with the preset part will not send a pulse current to the preset part. Therefore, it is possible to improve the problem in the prior art that when the electrode sheet is not in close contact with the human skin, the contact area between the electrode sheet and the human body is small, thereby causing an increase in the stimulation current and a tingling sensation. Furthermore, it is possible to ensure the safety and comfort of the massager 10 when in use.

[0037] In this embodiment, the conductive portion 121 of the electrode member 120 can be block-shaped, and the multiple conductive portions 121 can be arranged in an array. Specifically, the insulating portion 122 can be grid-shaped as a whole. For example, the insulating portion 122 can be in a "cross" shape as a whole, thereby dividing the electrode member 120 into four conductive portions 121; the insulating portion 122 can also be in a "well" shape as a whole, thereby dividing the electrode member 120 into nine conductive portions 121; or in its embodiment, the electrode member 120 can be divided into multiple rows and columns and multiple conductive portions 121 that are closely arranged.

[0038] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the conductive portion 121 may be in the shape of a long strip as a whole, and a plurality of conductive portions 121 may be arranged in sequence and spaced apart.

[0039] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the electrode member in the massager shown; Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The schematic diagram of another embodiment of an electrode assembly in a massager is shown. The number of insulating portions 122 can be multiple, and each adjacent conductive portion 121 is separated by an insulating portion 122. Furthermore, the multiple conductive portions 121 can be arranged in a sequentially spaced arrangement. The spacing mentioned here refers to separation by the insulating portion 122, so it is also possible to achieve a close arrangement of the multiple conductive portions 121.

[0040] The electrode member 120 may include two opposite long sides and two opposite short sides. Figure 3 As shown, the long side of the conductive portion 121 can be parallel to the long side direction of the entire electrode member 120; and the plurality of conductive portions 121 can be arranged in sequence along the direction parallel to the short side of the electrode member 120. Alternatively, as Figure 4 As shown, the long side of the conductive portion 121 can be set to be parallel to the short side direction of the entire electrode member 120; and the plurality of conductive portions 121 can be arranged in sequence and spaced apart in a direction parallel to the long side of the electrode member 120.

[0041] Optionally, the insulating portion 122 may be an insulating adhesive, such as insulating silicone. The insulating adhesive may be used to bond the multiple conductive portions 121 into an integrated component. The conductive portion 121 may be a metal conductive sheet, or a gel body formed of a conductive gel. The conductive portion 121 formed of the conductive gel may also be flexible, thereby improving its tightness when conforming to a predetermined portion of the human body and enhancing wearer comfort.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, taking the massager 10 as a neck massager as an example, the massager body 110 can be placed on the neck for electrical stimulation massage, wherein the fitting surface 1201 of the electrode member 120 can be configured to have a shape that matches the neck.

[0043] The electrode member 120 as a whole can be approximately rectangular, and the long side of the electrode member 120 can correspond to the circumferential direction of the neck, and the short side of the electrode member 120 can correspond to the extension direction of the neck. When the conductive portion 121 of the electrode member 120 is block-shaped, the length of the long side of each conductive portion 121 can be set to be in the range of 5mm-12mm. For example, the length of the long side of the conductive portion 121 can be set to 5mm, 7mm, 9mm, or 12mm, etc.

[0044] Please see further Figure 3 or Figure 4 .

[0045] The multiple conductive parts 121 of the electrode member 120 can be electrically connected to the power supply unit in the massager body 110. Therefore, when the electrode member 120 is in contact with the area to be massaged, each conductive part 121 in contact with the area to be massaged can independently generate electrical stimulation massage.

[0046] For example, when the part to be massaged (such as the neck, arms, legs, etc. of the human body) moves or due to other reasons, the conductive part 121 (such as Figure 3 or Figure 4 When the conductive portion 121a and the conductive portion 121b shown in the figure are not in contact with the part to be massaged, the other conductive portion 121 close to the middle area of the electrode member 120 in contact with the part to be massaged can continue to maintain constant current electrical stimulation massage.

[0047] The multiple conductive portions 121 of the electrode member 120 are in the shape of long strips, and the length of the short side of the long strip conductive portion 121 can be set to 5mm-12mm. Similarly, the length of the short side of the long strip conductive portion 121 can be set to 5mm, 7mm, 9mm or 12mm.

[0048] Please see further Figure 2 .

[0049] In this embodiment, to improve the fit between the fitting surface 1201 of the electrode member 120 and the predetermined part of the human body, the entire electrode member 120 can be configured to be flexible. Specifically, the flexible conductive portion 121 can be formed using a conductive gel, thereby making the electrode member 120 itself flexible. Alternatively, the electrode member 120 can be mounted on a flexible pad, thereby making the entire electrode member 120 and the flexible pad flexible.

[0050] Specifically, the massager 10 further includes a mounting base 130 ; the electrode member 120 can be fixed on the mounting base 130 , and mounted on the massager body 110 through the mounting base 130 .

[0051] In this embodiment, the mounting base 130 includes a flexible pad 131 and a conductive member 132 . One end of the conductive member 132 is electrically connected to the conductive portion 121 of the electrode member 120 , and the other end of the conductive member 132 passes through the flexible pad 131 and is electrically connected to the power supply unit.

[0052] In this embodiment, the electrode component 120 can be bonded and fixed to the flexible pad 131, so that the electrode component 120 and the flexible pad 131 can be flexible as a whole, and the fitting surface 1201 of the electrode component 120 can be adaptively adjusted to the preset part of the human body through the flexible pad 131, thereby improving the tightness of the conductive part 121 on the electrode component 120 to the preset part of the human body and improving the comfort when wearing.

[0053] Optionally, the flexible pad 131 may be formed of silicone.

[0054] In this embodiment, the power supply unit may include a positive electrode member 141 and a negative electrode member 142. There may be multiple conductive members 132, and each conductive portion 121 of the electrode member 120 may be connected to at least two conductive members 132. One end of each of the two conductive members 132 may be spaced apart and respectively connected to the two ends of the conductive portion 121, and the other end of each of the two conductive members 132 may be electrically connected to the positive electrode member 141 and the negative electrode member 142, respectively. Therefore, power may be supplied to the conductive portion 121 by connecting the positive electrode member 141 and the negative electrode member 142 to a power source, so that the conductive portion 121 may release a pulse current to the preset portion when it is in contact with the preset portion of the human body, thereby achieving electrical stimulation massage.

[0055] In this embodiment, at least one mounting base 130 can be provided on the massager body 110. Each mounting base 130 can be mounted with a corresponding electrode member 120. Each conductive portion 121 in the electrode member 120 can be electrically connected to a positive electrode member 141 and a negative electrode member 142 via at least two conductive members 132, respectively. This allows multiple conductive portions 121 to be connected in parallel, and each conductive portion 121 can be independently discharged. The conductive members 132 can be welded to the positive electrode member 141 or the negative electrode member 142 via conductive wires.

[0056] The positive electrode member 141 and the negative electrode member 142 can be attached to the side of the flexible pad 131 facing away from the electrode member 120. A mounting portion 111 is provided on the inner ring sidewall of the massager body 110, and a receiving groove 112 is defined within the mounting portion 111. At least portions of the positive electrode member 141 and the negative electrode member 142 can be disposed within the receiving groove 112. The mounting base 130 can be placed over the mounting portion 111 and seal the opening of the receiving groove 112. Thus, the positive electrode member 141 and the negative electrode member 142 can be fixedly disposed within the receiving groove 112.

[0057] In this embodiment, the electrode member 120 further includes a buckling portion 123, which is arranged in the edge area of the electrode member 120. The buckling portion 123 can be buckled with the massager body 110 to fix the electrode member 120 and the mounting base 130 on the mounting portion 111 of the massager body 110.

[0058] The fastening portion 123 may be a snap-fit portion, through which the fastening portion 123 can be fastened to the mounting portion 111 of the massager body 110. Alternatively, the fastening portion 123 may have a fastening hole, through which a fastener such as a screw passes, thereby fastening the fastening portion 123 to the mounting portion 111 of the massager body 110.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the mounting portion 111 can be a platform disposed on the inner wall of the massager body 110, and the receiving groove 112 can be a groove formed on the top surface of the platform. When the mounting base 130 is fixed to the mounting portion 111, the flexible pad 131 can be attached to the top surface and cover the opening of the receiving groove 112 on the top surface.

[0060] In this embodiment, by opening a receiving groove 112 on the mounting portion 111, the circuit connected to the positive electrode 141 and the negative electrode 142 can be set in the receiving groove 112, so that the circuit connection of the massager 10 can be clear and compact, which is convenient for installation and maintenance.

[0061] In some other embodiments, the massager 10 may further include a heating element 150, wherein the heating element 150 may be attached to the top surface of the platform, and the flexible pad 131 in the mounting base 130 may be attached to the side of the heating element 150 facing away from the top surface of the platform, so that the buckling portion 123 on the electrode member 120 is buckled and fixedly connected to the mounting portion 111, so that both the heating element 150 and the mounting base 130 can be fixed on the mounting portion 111.

[0062] In this embodiment, the heating element 150 can be a combination of a heating metal sheet or a metal heating wire and a flexible backing plate. The heating element 150 can increase the temperature of the electrode element 120, thereby providing a heat compress to the area where the electrode element 120 is applied.

[0063] A window is provided on the heating element 150 to avoid the accommodating groove 112 . Thus, by providing the window, interference between the heating element 150 and the conductive wire connected to the conductive element 132 can be avoided.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heating element 150 may also be electrically connected to the positive electrode element 141 and the negative electrode element 142 , and power may be supplied to the heating element 150 via a power source connected to the positive electrode element 141 and the negative electrode element 142 .

[0065] A battery may be provided in the massager body 110 , and the positive and negative electrodes of the battery may be connected respectively via the positive electrode member 141 and the negative electrode member 142 , thereby supplying power to the electrode member 120 and / or the heating member 150 connected thereto.

[0066] In other embodiments, an external port and a power supply circuit are provided in the massager body 110. The external port can be electrically connected to an external power source (e.g., a household power socket), and the external port can be electrically connected to the positive electrode 141 and the negative electrode 142 through the power supply circuit, so that the external power source connected to the external port can supply power to the electrode member 120 and / or the heating member 150.

[0067] In summary, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: in the above-mentioned solution of the present application, by dividing the electrode parts of the massager into a plurality of conductive parts that are closely arranged and arranged in parallel, it is possible to make it possible for any conductive part to be in contact with a preset part of the human body, and to send a constant pulse current to the preset part alone, and the conductive part that is not in contact with the preset part will not send a pulse current to the preset part. Therefore, it is possible to improve the problem in the prior art that when the electrode sheet is not in close contact with the human skin, the contact area between the electrode sheet and the human body is small, thereby causing an increase in the stimulation current and a tingling sensation. Furthermore, the safety and comfort of the massager when in use can be ensured.

[0068] The above are merely embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present application.
