[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0023] As the pressure of life increases, the fatigue of the body also increases, and massage instruments are emerging in an endless stream. Some massage instruments that use electrical stimulation to massage, such as electric muscle stimulation (EMS) massage instruments, have quickly occupied the cervical and lumbar massage instrument markets with their advantages of being small and portable and having adjustable massage intensity. In the related art, the electric stimulation massage instrument generates pulse signals of various waveforms to simulate different massage techniques of human hands. For percussion massage, there is still a big gap between the physical sensation of massage performed by humans and that of electric stimulation massage instruments.

[0024] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides an electric stimulation massage device 1000, which includes a pulse generating module 100. The pulse generating module 100 is used to generate a bidirectional pulse signal 200. The bidirectional pulse signal 200 includes at least two pulses 10. The duration of the pulse 10 ranges from 80us to 15ms. The interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 is greater than 30ms, and each pulse is used to simulate a tapping massage by a human hand.

[0025] Specifically, Figure 2 The horizontal axis in can represent time, and the vertical axis can represent amplitude. One pulse 10 corresponds to one tapping massage, and the duration of one pulse 10 is the duration of one tapping massage. If the duration of one tapping massage is too long, the user's muscles may feel uncomfortable. If the duration of one tapping massage is too short, the user's muscles may not be able to respond to the effect of the tapping massage. Controlling the duration of one tapping massage within an appropriate range can better simulate the action of human hand tapping massage and bring a better tapping massage experience to the user. The interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 is the interval time between two adjacent tapping massages. If the interval time between two adjacent tapping massages is too short, when the bidirectional pulse signal 200 acts on the user, it is difficult for the user's muscles to feel the interval between two adjacent tapping massages. Therefore, the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 is controlled to be greater than 30ms so that the user's muscles can feel the interval.

[0026] In this way, a bidirectional pulse signal 200 including at least two pulses 10 is generated by the pulse generating module 100, the duration of the pulse 10 is controlled to range from 80us to 15ms, and the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 is controlled to be greater than 30ms, so as to avoid the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 being too short, which makes the user's muscles unable to react in time and causes the user to not feel the interval between multiple tappings, thereby simulating the effect of manual tapping massage, so that the massage sensation of the electric stimulation massage device 1000 is close to that of manual massage.

[0027] In some embodiments, the electric stimulation massage device 1000 also includes at least two electrodes (i.e., conductive sheets), which can contact the user. The bidirectional pulse signal 200 acts on the electrodes, and the electrodes can output the bidirectional pulse signal 200 to the contact part of the user, thereby generating an electric current at the contact part of the user, stimulating the nerve endings of the muscles through the electric current, causing the muscles to contract unconsciously when stimulated, thereby achieving the physical sensation of massage.

[0028] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, each pulse 10 includes multiple phases 20, and the number of phases 20 included in a pulse 10 ranges from 4 to 30.

[0029] Specifically, the phase 20 includes a first phase and a second phase. The phase 20 is used to indicate the horizontal portion of the pulse 10 exceeding or falling below the baseline. The first phase is used to indicate the horizontal portion of the pulse 10 exceeding the baseline, and the second phase is used to indicate the horizontal portion of the pulse 10 falling below the baseline. The first phase and the second phase may appear in pairs. Figure 3 T2 in can correspond to a first phase, Figure 3 T3 in can correspond to a second phase. The number of phases 20 of a pulse 10 affects the energy of the pulse 10, and the energy carried by the pulse 10 affects the strength of the tapping massage. The more phases 20, the more energy the pulse 10 carries, and the greater the strength of a single tapping massage; the fewer phases 20, the less energy the pulse 10 carries, and the less strength the single tapping massage has. Therefore, when the number of phases 20 is too large, the strength of a single tapping massage is too large, which may cause discomfort and pain to the user; when the number of phases 20 is too small, the strength of a single tapping massage is too small, and the user may not feel the tapping massage, affecting the user experience. Controlling the number of phases 20 of a pulse 10 in the range of 4 to 30 can avoid the situation where too many or too few phases 20 cause the pulse 10 to contain too much or too little energy, resulting in the tapping massage being too heavy or too light, and causing a bad user experience of the tapping massage. In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, one pulse contains 10 phases, including 5 positive phases and 5 negative phases.

[0030] In this way, the number of phases 20 included in a pulse 10 is controlled to range from 4 to 30, so as to avoid a small number of phases 20 causing the pulse 10 to carry less energy during a single tapping, resulting in a lower intensity of a single tapping massage and a weaker physical sensation during the tapping massage; at the same time, it is avoided that a large number of phases 20 causes the duration of the pulse 10 to be too long, making the single tapping time too long, so as to better simulate the tapping massage by human hands.

[0031] In some embodiments, each pulse 10 includes a plurality of phases 20, and the duration of the phases 20 ranges from 20 us to 200 us.

[0032] Specifically, each pulse 10 includes multiple phases 20, and the duration of phase 20 can affect the energy of pulse 10, thereby affecting the energy of bidirectional pulse signal 200. The shorter the duration of phase 20, the weaker the energy of bidirectional pulse signal 200, and the weaker the user's body sensation during tapping massage. Therefore, if the energy of bidirectional pulse signal 200 is too weak, the user's body sensation during tapping massage may be weak, and it is difficult to feel the tapping massage; the longer the duration of phase 20, the stronger the energy of bidirectional pulse signal 200, and the stronger the user's body sensation during tapping massage. The longer the duration of phase 20, if the energy of bidirectional pulse signal 200 is too strong, the user's body sensation during tapping massage may be too strong, which is easy to cause tingling or discomfort. Therefore, when the value range of the duration of phase 20 is 20us to 200us, the energy of bidirectional pulse signal 200 can be appropriate, so that the user has a better experience during tapping massage. Figure 3 T2 and T3 in the figure may both represent the duration of one phase. In one embodiment, the duration T2 of one phase is 49.829 us.

[0033] In this way, the duration of phase 20 is controlled to range from 20us to 200us, so as to avoid the duration of phase 20 being too long, resulting in the pulse 10 carrying too much energy, which may cause pain to the user during tapping massage, and at the same time avoid the duration of phase 20 being too short, resulting in the pulse 10 carrying low energy and making the single tapping force too weak, so as to better simulate the tapping massage of human hands.

[0034] In certain embodiments, each pulse 10 includes a plurality of phases 20, each phase 20 having the same duration.

[0035] Specifically, when a person performs a tapping massage by hand, the force of the tapping massage is uniform. If the duration of multiple phases of a pulse is different, the energy of each pulse will be different, so that when the bidirectional pulse signal acts on the user, the intensity of the massage felt by the user is uneven, which is quite different from the physical sensation of a person performing a tapping massage by hand. Therefore, by controlling the duration of each phase 20 to be the same, the energy carried by each pulse 10 can be controlled to be the same, so that when the bidirectional pulse signal 200 acts on the human body, the force of the tapping massage formed is uniform. In addition, by limiting the duration of each phase 20 to be the same, if the duration of the phase 20 of different pulses 10 is to be changed, only one parameter needs to be changed, and there is no need to process the phase 20 of each pulse 10 separately, so that the control of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 is simpler.

[0036] In this way, the duration of different phases 20 is controlled to be the same, and the force will not change suddenly when a single pulse 10 acts on the tapping massage part, keeping the force uniform to better simulate the tapping massage by human hands; at the same time, only one parameter, the duration of phase 20, needs to be changed to change the duration of all phases 20, without the need to process different phases 20, and the control is simple.

[0037] In some embodiments, each pulse 10 includes a plurality of phases 20, and the interval time between two adjacent phases 20 is less than 250 us.

[0038] Specifically, a pulse 10 includes multiple phases 20. If the interval between two adjacent phases 20 is too large, the duration of the pulse 10 may be too long, and the percussion massage time formed when the bidirectional pulse signal 200 acts on the human body is too long, which does not conform to the law of human hand percussion massage. Therefore, the interval time between two adjacent phases 20 is controlled to be less than 250us to control the duration of the pulse 10 within a suitable range, so that the percussion massage time is within a suitable range to better simulate human hand percussion massage.

[0039] In this way, the interval time between two adjacent phases 20 is controlled to be less than 250us to avoid the interval time between two adjacent phases 20 being too long and increasing the duration of a single pulse 10, making the single tapping time too long, thereby better simulating human hand tapping massage and allowing users to obtain a good tapping massage experience.

[0040] In some embodiments, each pulse 10 includes a plurality of phases 20 , and the intervals between any two adjacent phases 20 in a pulse 10 are the same.

[0041] Specifically, the distribution of phases 20 in a pulse 10 affects the energy carried by the pulse 10. If some phases 20 in a pulse 10 are too closely spaced, the energy distribution of the pulse will be uneven, resulting in uneven force during the tapping process. Therefore, by controlling the interval time between any two adjacent phases 20 in a pulse 10 to be the same, the phases 20 in a pulse 10 can be evenly distributed, so that when the bidirectional pulse signal 200 acts on the human body, the force of the tapping massage formed is uniform. In addition, by limiting the interval time between two adjacent phases 20 to be the same, if you want to change the interval time between two adjacent phases 20 of different pulses 10, you only need to change one parameter, and there is no need to process the phase 20 of each pulse 10 separately, so that the control of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 is simpler. Figure 3 As shown, a single pulse includes a uniform distribution of phases.

[0042] In this way, controlling the interval time between each two adjacent phases 20 to be the same can make the control simpler, and at the same time make the phases 20 of a single pulse 10 evenly distributed to avoid the situation where some phases 20 in a single pulse 10 are too closely spaced, so as to simulate the situation where the force is more uniform when a person taps and massages with his hands.

[0043] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the waveform of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 is a bidirectional square wave.

[0044] Specifically, the direction of the waveform of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 includes a direction exceeding the baseline and a direction below the baseline. Since the structure of the hardware circuit for generating the square wave is relatively simple, and the square wave has fewer parameters and the waveform is easy to control, the square wave is used as the waveform of the bidirectional pulse signal 200, and the waveform of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 is easy to control, and the bidirectional pulse signal 200 can be generated using a hardware circuit with a relatively simple structure. In addition, controlling the waveform of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 can control the time and intensity of the percussion massage, so using a square wave with an easy-to-control waveform as the waveform of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 can better control the time and intensity of the percussion massage.

[0045] In this way, the square wave has fewer parameters and the waveform is easy to control. Using the square wave as the waveform of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 facilitates better control of the time and strength of the tapping massage. At the same time, the hardware circuit structure for outputting the square wave is relatively simple, which simplifies the hardware circuit structure.

[0046] In some embodiments, the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 can be varied.

[0047] Specifically, the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 affects the speed of the tapping massage. When the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 is small, the interval time between two adjacent tappings is short, and the speed of the tapping massage is fast. When the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 is large, the interval time between two adjacent tappings is long, and the speed of the tapping massage is slow. Therefore, by controlling the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 to be changeable, different tapping massage speeds can be provided during the process of tapping massage of the user's target massage part by the bidirectional pulse signal 200, thereby bringing different massage experiences to the user.

[0048] In this way, by changing the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10, the speed of the tapping massage can be changed, thereby providing different massage speeds for the user, allowing the user to obtain different massage experiences.

[0049] In some embodiments, the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 gradually decreases.

[0050] Specifically, the bidirectional pulse signal 200 acts on the user to form a percussion massage. At the beginning of the percussion massage, the interval between two adjacent pulses 10 of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 is long, so that the interval between two adjacent percussion massages is long, and the interval between the percussion massages performed on the user is also long, that is, the percussion speed is slow; during the percussion massage, the interval between two adjacent pulses 10 is gradually reduced, so that the interval between two adjacent percussion massages is gradually reduced, that is, the speed of the percussion massage is accelerated, so that the user can feel more intensive percussion, bringing a stronger percussion massage experience to the user.

[0051] In this way, at the beginning of the tapping massage, the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 is longer, that is, the interval time between two adjacent tapping massages is longer, and the speed of the tapping massage is slower, so that the user can slowly adapt; after the user gradually adapts, the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 is gradually reduced, so that the time interval between two adjacent tapping massages is reduced, so that the speed of the tapping massage is gradually accelerated, so that the user can get a stronger tapping massage experience.

[0052] In some embodiments, two adjacent pulses 10 include a first pulse and a second pulse, and the interval time between the first pulse and the second pulse 10 is less than 5 seconds.

[0053] Specifically, after multiple consecutive tapping massages, the electric stimulation massage device 1000 stops tapping massage within a preset time, and performs the next tapping massage after the preset time, so that the user's muscles can get a rest within the preset time. If the preset time is too long, the user cannot feel the massage for a long time, so the value range of the preset time is controlled to be less than 5s, so that the user can get a good tapping massage experience.

[0054] In this way, by controlling the interval time between two adjacent pulses 10 to be less than 5 seconds, it is possible to avoid the interval time between two adjacent tapping massages being too long, causing the user to wait for a long time and resulting in a bad experience.

[0055] In some embodiments, the absolute value of the amplitude of the pulse 10 ranges from 5V to 45V.

[0056] Specifically, the signal strength of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 can be changed by changing the amplitude of the pulse 10, and the change in the signal strength of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 affects the strength of the tapping massage. When the amplitude of the pulse 10 is too large, the signal strength of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 is too large, and the strength of the tapping massage is too large, which may cause the user to feel pain; when the amplitude of the pulse 10 is too small, the signal strength of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 is too small, and the strength of the tapping massage is too small, which may cause the user to not feel the massage. Therefore, the absolute value of the amplitude of the pulse 10 is controlled within a range of 5V to 25V, so that the signal strength of the bidirectional pulse signal 200 is appropriate, providing the user with an appropriate tapping massage strength, so that the user can have a good tapping massage experience.

[0057] In this way, by controlling the absolute value of the amplitude of pulse 10 within the range of 5V to 45V, we can avoid the absolute value of the amplitude of pulse 10 being too high, which makes the user feel a strong pulse signal when it acts on the human body, which may also pose a safety hazard. At the same time, we can avoid the absolute value of the amplitude of pulse 10 being too low, which makes the user feel too weak when the pulse signal acts on the human body, so that the user can have a good experience when performing tapping massage.
