Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of physiotherapy equipment, and particularly to a health care foot warmer based on terahertz waves. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the modern life rhythm, people's demand for health care is increasing day by day, especially the demand for improving physical conditions through physical therapy is gradually rising. As an electromagnetic wave between microwaves and infrared rays, terahertz waves have unique biological effects and have been widely used in the medical and health care fields 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 physiotherapy equipment, especially foot physiotherapy equipment.

[0003] However, the existing foot physiotherapy equipment based on terahertz waves has some obvious defects. First of all, the penetration ability of terahertz waves into the human body is weak. Especially for thick parts such as the sole of the foot, terahertz waves are difficult to effectively penetrate, resulting in limited physiotherapy effects. The existing equipment usually only conducts physiotherapy by placing the user's foot on the emission surface of the equipment. The energy of terahertz waves is mainly concentrated on the surface of the sole of the foot and cannot penetrate deep into the sole tissue. Therefore, the physiotherapy effect is greatly reduced. Most equipment actually only plays the role of heating the sole of the foot and cannot fully exert the biological effects of terahertz waves.

[0004] Secondly, the area of the emission surface of the existing equipment is usually much larger than the area of the bottom surface of the user's foot. During physiotherapy, the user's foot cannot completely cover the emission surface, resulting in some terahertz waves scattering outward. Since the user is usually in a sitting position during physiotherapy and some users will use electronic devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.) during this period, their eyes may accidentally come into contact with the scattered terahertz waves. Although terahertz waves have little overall harm to the human body, 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 physiotherapy equipment lacks consideration of the user's usage habits in design and has not been optimized for the particularity of the sole tissue, resulting in unsatisfactory physiotherapy effects and certain safety hazards. For this reason, we propose a health care foot warmer based on terahertz waves. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a health care foot warmer based on terahertz waves, including a foot warmer main body. A physiotherapy board is arranged on the foot warmer main body, and a receiving board is installed on the physiotherapy board. There are two receiving boards. A terahertz wave emitter is installed in the foot warmer main body. A resonance shell is installed on the terahertz wave emitter. The top end of the resonance shell is fixed to the bottom surface of the physiotherapy board, and both receiving boards are located directly above the resonance shell. It further includes:

[0007] An adaptive mechanism, which is installed on the physiotherapy board and wraps the user's foot according to different foot shapes of the user.

[0008] An energy wave enhancement mechanism, which is used to enhance the penetration of terahertz waves and is connected to the adaptive mechanism to cooperate with the adaptive mechanism to act on the user's foot with terahertz waves from multiple directions.

A placement groove is opened on the receiving board, and the number of the placement grooves is equal to that of the second shape memory wires, and the second shape memory wires are respectively located in one of the placement grooves.

[0010] Preferably, after being heated, the first shape memory wire is in the arc shape of the front section of the human foot, and the closer it is to the second through hole, the greater the radian. After being heated, the second shape memory wire is in an arc shape, and the radian at both ends is small and the radian in the middle is large, showing an "n" shape distribution. The third shape memory wire fits the shape of the posterior articular surface of the human calcaneus.

[0011] Preferably, the energy wave enhancement mechanism includes a first hose, a second hose, and a third hose respectively communicated with the first through hole, the second through hole, and the third through hole. The numbers of the first hose, the second hose, and the third hose are respectively the same as those of the first shape memory wire, the second shape memory wire, and the third shape memory wire, and are sleeved outside them one by one. A first wave outlet hole is opened on the opposite side of the first hose located on both sides of a single receiving board. A second wave outlet hole is opened above the second hose. A third wave outlet hole is opened on the side of the third hose facing the second hose.

[0012] Preferably, a reflective coating is provided on the inner walls of the first hose, the second hose, and the third hose.

[0030] An adaptive mechanism 6, the adaptive mechanism 6 is installed on the physiotherapy plate 2, and wraps the user's feet according to different foot shapes of the user;

[0032] The adaptive mechanism 6 includes a first through-hole 61, a second through-hole 62, and a third through-hole 63 formed in the physiotherapy board 2. There are two sets of the first through-hole 61, the second through-hole 62, and the third through-hole 63, and a single set corresponds to one of the receiving boards 3. The first through-hole 61, the second through-hole 62, and the third through-hole 63 in a single set are respectively located on both sides of the front, middle, and rear sections of the corresponding receiving board 3, corresponding to the front, middle, and rear sections of the user's foot. The first through-hole 61 and the second through-hole 62 on one side of the receiving board 3 are staggeredly arranged with the first through-hole 61 and the second through-hole 62 on the other side of itself. A first shape memory wire 65, a second shape memory wire 66, and a third shape memory wire 67 are respectively fixed in the first through-hole 61, the second through-hole 62, and the third through-hole 63 through a support frame 64. A placement groove 68 is formed in the receiving board 3. The number of the placement grooves 68 is equal to that of the second shape memory wires 66, and the second shape memory wires 66 are respectively located in one of the placement grooves 68.

[0033] After being heated, the first shape memory wire 65 is in the arc shape of the front section of the human foot, and the closer it is to the second through-hole 62, the greater the radian. After being heated, the second shape memory wire 66 is in an arc shape, with small radian at both ends and large radian in the middle, showing an "n" shape distribution. The third shape memory wire 67 fits the shape of the posterior articular surface of the human calcaneus.

The numbers of the first hose 71, the second hose 72, and the third hose 73 are respectively the same as those of the first shape memory wire 65, the second shape memory wire 66, and the third shape memory wire 67, and they are sleeved outside them one by one. A first wave outlet hole 74 is formed on the opposite side of the first hose 71 located on both sides of a single receiving board 3. A second wave outlet hole 75 is formed above the second hose 72. A third wave outlet hole 76 is formed on the side of the third hose 73 facing the second hose 72.

[0035] Reflective coatings are provided on the inner walls of the first hose 71, the second hose 72, and the third hose 73.

[0036] Silicon wave band plates 77 are provided on the first wave outlet hole 74, the second wave outlet hole 75, and the third wave outlet hole 76.

[0037] A temperature sensor and a control module are provided in the foot warmer main body 1. The temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature on the physiotherapy board 2 in real time and transmit the temperature data to the control module. The control module adjusts the power of the terahertz wave emitter 4 in real time according to the received temperature data.

[0038] The foot warmer main body 1 is equipped with a corresponding remote controller or software.

[0039] Working principle:

[0040] The user places the foot on the receiving plate 3, and the posterior joint of the calcaneus is in contact with the third hose 73. Subsequently, the device is turned on by means of a remote controller or scanning. The terahertz wave emitter 4 in the foot warmer main body 1 generates terahertz waves. These waves are conducted through the resonance shell 5, and a part of them is transmitted to the two receiving plates 3 directly above it. The receiving plates 3 homogenize this part of the terahertz waves and evenly act on the user's sole. Another part of the terahertz waves enters 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 waves will increase the temperature inside the first hose 71, the second hose 72, and the third hose 73, which will cause the first shape memory wire 65, the second shape memory wire 66, and the third shape memory wire 67 to deform, that is, they can return to the preset shape after being heated. Since the deformation force of each shape memory wire is limited, during the recovery process, it will drive the corresponding hose to closely fit the user's foot.

[0041] Specifically, the first shape memory wire 65 is in the arc shape of the front section of the human foot after heating, and the closer it is to the second through hole 62, the greater the arc, which conforms to the structure of the front section of the human foot, so as to closely fit the front section of the user's foot; the second shape memory wire 66 is in an arc shape after heating, and the arc at both ends is small and the arc in the middle is large, showing an "n" shape distribution. If the user has flat feet, due to the limitation of the user's sole, the second shape memory wire 66 will drive the second hose 72 to fit more tightly with the user's sole. If the user has high arches, the second shape memory wire 66 can still drive the second hose 72 to fit with the user's sole.

[0042] Since the inner walls of the first hose 71, the second hose 72, and the third hose 73 are all provided with reflective coatings, which can reflect and focus terahertz waves to prevent terahertz waves 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 of the terahertz wave discharge. The silicon wave band plate 77 can focus terahertz waves, improve the penetration and action depth of the waves, and make it better play a physiotherapy role inside the foot. As the temperature rises, the orientations of the wave outlet holes all face the user's foot, ensuring that the terahertz waves fully act on the user's foot.

[0043] During the operation of the device, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature on the physiotherapy plate 2 in real time and transmits the data to the control module. The control module adjusts the power of the terahertz wave emitter 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 physiotherapy effect for the user.
