Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of massage devices, specifically relating to a wearable massage therapy device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is a technique designed to use electrical current to stimulate muscles to achieve the effects of massage therapy. It delivers small, low-voltage electrical pulses to muscles through electrodes placed on the skin to cause muscle contraction, achieving the following objectives: first, to relieve inflammation, and second, to strengthen muscles without involving the nervous system, thereby avoiding pain and fatigue.

[0003] Existing EMS massage therapy devices are not ideal in terms of wearing effect. They are generally performed by the user holding them and placing them on the area to be massaged, which is inconvenient to use.

[0004] Furthermore, for EMS massage therapy devices, the way electrical signals are transmitted and the ease of replacing massage pads after wear and tear are also important aspects to consider in the user experience of the device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a massage therapy device with a wearable structure to facilitate massage use and enhance user experience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A wearable massage therapy device includes a main unit for generating electrical signals and a strap assembly for securing the main unit.

[0008] The main unit includes a main unit housing, which has an inner cavity and at least one set of conductive holes. The bottom surface of the main unit housing also has a massage pad groove, and the massage pad has corresponding protruding massage pad protrusions to allow it to be positioned on the bottom surface of the main unit housing. The massage pad protrusions have conductive connector holes for conductive connectors. The strap assembly includes a main unit base and a strap, with both ends of the strap connected to the main unit base.

[0009] The wearable massage therapy device also includes a buckle, which is attached to the strap to adjust the effective length of the strap.

[0010] According to the aforementioned wearable massage therapy device, the two ends of the strap are respectively fixedly connected to the main body; wherein, the fixed connection includes snapping or welding them together after processing, and also includes integral molding.

[0011] According to the aforementioned wearable massage therapy device, one end of the strap is fixedly connected to the main body, while the other end can be adjusted and fitted onto the main body.

[0012] According to the above-mentioned wearable massage therapy device, the main body base is also provided with a strap connecting seat, the strap connecting seat is provided with a strap hole, and the strap is also provided with a concave and convex part. After the strap passes through the strap hole, the concave and convex part cooperates with the strap hole to limit the free end of the strap, so that the other end of the strap can be movably and adjustably fitted onto the main body base.

[0013] According to the aforementioned wearable massage therapy device, the buckle is further provided with two strap grooves, which are located on at least one of the first buckle and the second buckle, so as to allow the strap to engage when the first buckle and the second buckle are separated, and to fix the buckle to the strap when the first buckle and the second buckle are fixed, thereby adjusting the effective length of the strap.

[0014] According to the aforementioned wearable massage therapy device, the locking component is further provided with a magnetic cavity for the locking magnetic component to be placed therein. The locking magnetic components in the two locking components are both magnets with opposite magnetic poles, or one is a magnet and the other is made of ferromagnetic material.

[0015] According to the aforementioned wearable massage therapy device, at least one of the first and second locking components is a magnet or made of a ferromagnetic material.

[0016] According to the aforementioned wearable massage therapy device, the two locking components can be detachably engaged with each other through a concave-convex structure.

[0017] According to the aforementioned wearable massage therapy device, the strap groove is located inside the second locking member, the first locking member is provided with several connecting posts, and the second locking member is provided with corresponding connecting holes.

[0018] According to the above-mentioned wearable massage therapy device, each set of conductive hole components includes at least one conductive hole, which is disposed through the lower end face of the main unit's inner cavity.

[0019] According to the above-mentioned wearable massage therapy device, the massage pad includes a first massage pad and a second massage pad. The massage pad protrusion and the conductive connector hole are both provided on the first massage pad. The second massage pad is formed by extending outward from the first massage pad and is provided to bulge outward relative to the first massage pad in the bottom direction of the main unit.

[0020] According to the aforementioned wearable massage therapy device, the main unit further includes a sealing element, a keypad, and a panel sequentially arranged on the main unit housing. The power generator is equipped with stainless steel screws as its electrical signal output terminals, the conductive connector is a copper insert, and the massage pads are made of conductive silicone.

[0021] According to the aforementioned wearable massage therapy device, there are two main units connected by a connecting strap, and each main unit is equipped with a strap assembly.

[0022] According to the aforementioned wearable massage therapy device, each main unit housing is equipped with a magnet compartment, and a magnet or ferromagnetic component is placed in the magnet compartment.

[0023] According to the above-mentioned wearable massage therapy device, there are two sets of conductive holes, which are located on both sides of the magnet compartment respectively; two massage pad positions are provided on the lower end surface of the main unit housing and on both sides of the magnet compartment, and the massage pad positions are recessed relative to the magnet compartment.

[0024] The wearable massage therapy device of the present invention secures the main unit by binding, thus replacing the inconvenience of the user having to hold the therapy device during use and expanding the application scenarios. Furthermore, the binding strap is preferably made of skin-friendly silicone, providing a superior user experience.

[0025] This wearable massage therapy device can also adjust the effective length of the strap by changing the position of the buckles. The effective length is the sum of the lengths from both ends to the buckles; the area in the middle of the strap blocked by the buckles is ineffective. Furthermore, the two buckles can also engage magnetically or through a textured structure to form a ring around the two ends of the device for securing the neck, hands, or legs.

[0026] Furthermore, the massage therapy device of the present invention also incorporates a magnetic structure within the two main units, so that when not in use and stored, the two main units can be magnetically attracted to each other and placed together. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention and to more clearly define the scope of protection of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to certain specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following are only some specific embodiments of the present invention, and are merely a part of the embodiments of the present invention. The specific and direct descriptions of related structures are only for the convenience of understanding the present invention, and the specific features do not necessarily or directly limit the scope of the present invention. Conventional choices and substitutions made by those skilled in the art under the guidance of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] A wearable massage therapy device, particularly suitable for massage therapy on the face (e.g., cheeks or around the eyes), neck, hands, or legs. This massage therapy device is preferably an EMS (electro-stimulated massage) therapy device based on electrical stimulation.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] A wearable massage therapy device that can be used for massage therapy on the face, neck, hands, or legs.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, the physiotherapy device consists of a main unit 100, a strap assembly 200, and a locking buckle 300. The strap assembly 200 is used to attach the main unit 100 to the body for massage therapy. The locking buckle 300 is used to attach to the strap assembly 200 to adjust the length or engagement of the strap assembly to meet the massage requirements of different parts of the body.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the strap assembly 200 includes a main unit 210 and a strap 220. There are two main units 210, which are connected by a connecting strap 201. Each main unit 210 is provided with a strap 220.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the host base 210 includes a host cavity 212 opening to one side, which is formed by the host base member 211 surrounding it. Preferably, the host cavity 212 has a larger opening on one side and a smaller opening on the other side, so that the host 100 can only be inserted into or removed from the side with the larger opening. In this embodiment, the host cavity 212 is D-shaped.

[0049] The main unit cavity 212 is provided with a locking block 213, which cooperates with the corresponding locking slot 101 provided on the main unit 100 to detachably lock and fix the main unit 100 in the main unit cavity 212.

[0050] The two ends of the strap 220 are fixed to the main body 210 or integrally formed therewith to form a closed strap opening 221. The length of the strap 220 can be set as needed and is not limited.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, the locking member 300 includes a first locking member 310 and a second locking member 320. The first locking member 310 is provided with a plurality of connecting posts 312, and the second locking member 320 is provided with corresponding connecting holes (not shown in the figure) for the connecting posts 312 to cooperate with, so that the second locking member 320 can be detachably fitted onto the first locking member 310.

[0052] The locking fastener 300 is further provided with two strap grooves 301, which are located on at least one of the first locking fastener 310 and the second locking fastener 320. After the second locking fastener 320 is separated from the first locking fastener 310, the strap groove 301 opens, allowing the strap 220 to be placed therein. When the second locking fastener 320 engages with the first locking fastener 310, the strap 220 is fixed within the locking fastener 300, thus forming a shorter engagement state than the strap itself, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the strap length. In this embodiment, the strap groove 301 is located within the second locking fastener 320.

[0053] like Figure 4As shown, the first locking member 310 also has a magnetic cavity 311 for the locking magnetic member 302 to fit into. In this embodiment, the locking magnetic members 302 in both locking members 300 are magnets with opposite magnetic poles, or one is a magnet and the other is made of ferromagnetic material, so that the two locking members 300 can be fixed together by magnetic attraction, so as to connect the two straps 220 together during neck massage and other situations.

[0054] like Figure 13b As shown, when the physiotherapy device is used for neck massage, its two locking fasteners 300 engage with each other on the front of the user, so that the two main bodies 100 are positioned at corresponding positions on the user's neck, forming a shape as shown. Figure 13a The shown is the cooperative state. Among them, Figure 13a , Figure 13b The diagrams show the user's front and back outlines to illustrate the proper use of the physiotherapy device. Figure 13b Facial features such as eyes and nose of the user are not shown.

[0055] Of course, it is also feasible to provide a mating concave-convex structure on the two locking fasteners 300. For example, one locking fastener 300 has a concave hole and the other has a protruding post. The two locking fasteners 300 can be connected to each other by inserting the protruding post into the concave hole.

[0056] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the main unit 100 has a slot 101 on its side wall to cooperate with the main unit cavity 212, an operation panel or buttons on the front of the main unit 100 for the user to operate the main unit 100, and a massage surface on the back of the main unit 100 for contact with the skin for massage.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, the main unit 100 includes a main unit housing 110, a sealing member 131, a keypad 132, and a panel 133. The main unit housing 110 has a main unit cavity 111 for the electric generator body of the physiotherapy device (not shown in the figure) to be installed therein. The keypad 132 and the panel 133 are arranged sequentially on the top of the main unit housing 110. The sealing member 131 is disposed between the keypad 132 and the main unit housing 110 to ensure that the two are sealed, waterproof and dustproof.

[0058] The main unit housing 110 is also provided with a charging port, and a charging port seal 134 is provided at the charging port.

[0059] The main housing 110 has two sets of conductive holes on each side, each set including at least one conductive hole 112, which penetrates the lower end face of the main housing cavity 111. In this embodiment, each set of conductive holes includes two conductive holes 112.

[0060] like Figure 9As shown, a magnet compartment 113 is provided between the two conductive holes, and the magnet compartment 113 protrudes from the conductive holes. On the lower end face of the main body shell 110, two massage pad positions 115 are respectively provided. The massage pad positions 115 are recessed relative to the magnet compartment 113, so that after the massage pad 120 is fitted therein, the magnet compartment 113 is flush with or slightly recessed from the surface of the massage pad 120, forming a shape as shown in the image. Figure 6 The host unit is shown on the bottom surface.

[0061] Magnets 130 are respectively provided in the magnet compartments 113 of the two main shells 110, with opposite magnetic poles, or one is provided with a magnet and the other is provided with a ferromagnetic material, so that the two main units 100 can be fixed together by magnetic attraction, so that the two main units 100 can be attracted together when stored.

[0062] like Figure 10 As shown, the bottom surface of the main unit housing 110 is also provided with a massage pad groove 113, which is recessed relative to the massage pad position 115. Figure 8 As shown, the massage pad 120 has a protruding massage pad protrusion 123, the shape of which corresponds to the massage pad groove 113; the massage pad protrusion 123 has a conductive connector hole 124 for the conductive connector 140. After the conductive connector 140 is fitted into the conductive connector hole 124, the massage pad protrusion 123 is fitted into the massage pad groove 113. The conductive connector 140 passes through the conductive hole 112 and is electrically connected to the power generator body disposed in the inner cavity 111 of the main unit, so as to transmit the electrical signal generated by the power generator body to the massage pad 120 for massage.

[0063] like Figure 8 As shown, the massage pad 120 includes a first massage pad 121 and a second massage pad 122. The massage pad protrusion 123 and the conductive connector hole 124 are both disposed on the first massage pad 121, and the position of the first massage pad 121 is substantially corresponding to that of the main unit housing 110. The second massage pad 122 is formed by extending outward from the first massage pad 121, preferably integrally formed.

[0064] Furthermore, the second massage pad 122 is not on the same plane as the first massage pad 121, and it is convex outward relative to the first massage pad 121 in the direction of the bottom surface of the main unit 100. Ideally, the second massage pad 122 of the two massage pads 120 are arranged with opposite orientations to form a shape as shown in the image. Figure 6 The main unit 100 with the massage base shown.

[0065] In this embodiment, the main body of the power generator is equipped with a stainless steel screw as its electrical signal output terminal. The conductive connector 140 is a copper insert, and the massage pad 120 is made of conductive silicone. The connection between the two is a double-coating method. The electrical signal is first conducted through the stainless steel screw to the copper insert, and then the copper insert is conducted to the conductive silicone for output, thereby improving connection stability and ensuring output consistency. The strap assembly 200 is made of silicone for good skin-friendliness.

[0066] The usage process of the physiotherapy device in this embodiment is as follows:

[0067] 1. After charging, fasten the main unit into the strap assembly to form the complete physiotherapy device;

[0068] 2. Adjust the position of the buckle on the strap according to the user's body shape and the massage area so that the effective length of the strap initially meets the usage requirements;

[0069] 3. Put on the physiotherapy device and make appropriate minor adjustments as needed to ensure that the massage area is positioned on the area to be massaged and to maintain appropriate contact pressure;

[0070] 4. Turn on the main unit to begin massage therapy;

[0071] 5. The device will automatically stop when the timer ends, or you can manually stop the main unit. Remove the main unit to charge it, or place the two main units opposite each other to magnetically attract them together. Organize the connecting straps and binding straps to store the physiotherapy device.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] A wearable massage therapy device has the same main structure as Embodiment 1, except that the structure of the strap assembly 200 is different.

[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, the strap 220 is an open strap, with one end fixedly connected to or integrally formed to the main unit base 210, and the other end forming a free end.

[0075] like Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the main unit 210 is further provided with a strap connecting seat 223, which has a strap hole 224 for the free end of the strap 220 to pass through and fit into. The strap 220 also has bead-like protrusions and recesses 222, extending from the free end of the strap 220 to the other end, with their length adjustable as needed. After the strap 20 passes through the strap hole 224, its recess fits into the strap hole 224, and two protrusions adjacent to the recess are located on either side of the strap hole 224, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the length of the strap 220.

[0076] In this embodiment, the position and structure of the locking block 213, which cooperates with the slot 101 to fix the host 100, differ from those in Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, the locking block 213 is moved from being located on the side wall of the host cavity 212 to being located at the opening of the host cavity 212, more specifically at its larger opening (the opening for the host 100 to be inserted or removed), in order to limit the host 100. At this time, the locking block 213 acts on the end face of the host 100, so the slot 101 can be omitted.

[0077] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the specific shape of the connecting strip 201 is also different from that in Embodiment 1.

[0078] Unlike Embodiment 1, the length of the strap 220 in this embodiment can be adjusted by the engagement state of the protrusion and recess 222 in the strap connecting seat 223. Therefore, when the physiotherapy device of this embodiment is used for facial massage therapy, such as specific areas like the cheeks or eyes, it does not need to be combined with the buckle 300. It is only necessary to adjust the strap 220 to the required length and put it on the ears.

[0079] For massage therapy on the neck, hands, or legs, the physiotherapy device in this embodiment may require the use of a locking fastener 300 for fixation. In this case, in addition to adjusting the length of the physiotherapy device by changing the engagement state between the locking fastener 300 and the strap 220, the strap 220 in this embodiment can also be used for auxiliary adjustment.

[0080] The process of using the physiotherapy device in this embodiment is similar to that in embodiment one. The difference is that in this embodiment, the physiotherapy device can pull or retract the position of the free end of the strap in step 2 or step 3 to adjust the effective length of the strap.

[0081] Example 3

[0082] A wearable massage therapy device has the same main structure as in Embodiment 1 or 2, except that the therapy device in this embodiment has only one main unit 100, and strap components are provided on both sides. The strap components can be any one of those described in Embodiment 1 or 2.

[0083] Essentially, the physiotherapy device in this embodiment can be considered as the physiotherapy device of embodiment one or two, except for removing one main unit 100 and the connecting strap 201; wherein, the strap of the omitted physiotherapy device is connected to the other side of the main unit 100 (i.e., the side of the original connecting strap 201). Of course, the two straps 220 can also be one of embodiment one and the other of embodiment two.
