Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of clothing product technology, and in particular to a garment. Background Technology
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, wearable clothing products with functions such as physiotherapy, warmth, and fatigue relief are gradually attracting market attention. However, most functional massage or physiotherapy clothing in related technologies have limited functions and cannot meet users' personalized and refined usage requirements. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the relevant technologies, this application provides a garment that integrates massage and heating functions and has at least multiple independent working areas, so that each area can be massaged and heated separately, thereby improving the product's functional diversity and meeting personalized and refined usage requirements.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a garment, including a garment body, a physiotherapy module, and a control module. The garment body includes a first physiotherapy area corresponding to the trapezius muscle and a second physiotherapy area corresponding to the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscles. The physiotherapy module is connected to the garment body and includes a first functional module and a second functional module. The first functional module is located in the first physiotherapy area for performing massage and / or heating functions on the trapezius muscle, and the second functional module is located in the second physiotherapy area for performing massage and / or heating functions on the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscles. The control module is electrically connected to the first and second functional modules and is used to control the first and / or second functional modules to perform corresponding functions.
[0006] By employing the aforementioned technical methods, the garment is divided into a first treatment zone corresponding to the trapezius muscle and a second treatment zone corresponding to the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscles. This allows the first and second functional modules to respectively provide massage and / or heating therapy to different muscle groups, achieving integrated massage and heating functions within the garment. Simultaneously, the control module manages both modules, enabling users to select specific areas for appropriate functions based on their needs. This allows for zoned and targeted therapy, enhancing the garment's functionality, flexibility, and wearing experience, ultimately relieving shoulder and back muscle fatigue and improving overall health benefits.
[0007] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the first functional module includes a first heating layer located in the first physiotherapy area. The first heating layer extends in an arc shape from the position in the first physiotherapy area corresponding to the human spine towards the two shoulders of the human body.
[0008] By using the above-mentioned technical means, the first heating layer is set in the first physiotherapy area, and the first heating layer extends in an arc from the position corresponding to the human spine to the position close to the two shoulders of the human body. This can better conform to the distribution direction of the human trapezius muscle, making the heating range more matched with the shape of the target muscle group, thereby improving the heating uniformity and coverage effect of the trapezius muscle area, avoiding the heating distribution being too concentrated or deviating from the target area, and thus improving the comfort and effectiveness of physiotherapy.
[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the first functional module includes a first vibrating element, which is disposed on the first heating layer and close to the position of the first physiotherapy area corresponding to the shoulder of the human body.
[0010] By employing the aforementioned technical means, a first vibrating element is placed on the first heating layer and positioned close to the corresponding area of the shoulder. This allows the vibrational massage effect to be concentrated on the shoulder area where the trapezius muscle is prone to soreness, stiffness, and fatigue, thereby achieving a synergistic effect of heating and massage within the same area. This setup is beneficial for further promoting local muscle relaxation and blood circulation on top of heat therapy, improving the relief effect on shoulder and neck fatigue, and enhancing the user's therapeutic experience.
[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the first functional module is symmetrically set about the center line of the garment; and / or, the second functional module is symmetrically set about the center line of the garment; in the wearing state, the center line of the garment corresponds to the human spine.
[0012] By employing the aforementioned technical means, the first and / or second functional modules are symmetrically positioned about the center line of the garment, and the center line of the garment corresponds to the human spine when worn. This allows the physiotherapy modules to form a relatively balanced distribution on both sides of the body, ensuring that the heating and massage effects accurately correspond to the muscle areas of the body. This improves the symmetry, stability, and consistency of the physiotherapy effects, and avoids problems such as uneven local physiotherapy effects or decreased wearing comfort caused by the misalignment of functional modules.
[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the second physiotherapy area includes the spinal portion corresponding to the erector spinae muscles and the latissimus dorsi portion corresponding to the latissimus dorsi muscles. The second functional module includes a second heating layer, which includes a longitudinal segment and a transverse segment arranged in an inverted T shape. The longitudinal segment is located on the spine along the extension direction of the spine, and the transverse segment is located on the latissimus dorsi muscle in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the spine.
[0014] Using the aforementioned technical methods, the second treatment area is subdivided into the spinal region corresponding to the erector spinae muscles and the latissimus dorsi muscle region corresponding to the latissimus dorsi muscles. The second heating layer is designed with an inverted T-shaped structure, where the longitudinal segment corresponds to the spinal region and the transverse segment corresponds to the latissimus dorsi muscles. This allows the second functional module to simultaneously cover important muscle groups in both the longitudinal and transverse directions of the back. This structure enhances the overall heating and therapeutic effect on the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscles, making the heating layout more consistent with the distribution characteristics of back muscles, thereby improving the range, targeting, and comfort of back treatment.
[0015] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the longitudinal segment and the transverse segment are integrally formed or connected separately.
[0016] By employing the aforementioned technical methods, the longitudinal and transverse sections can be designed as either integrally formed or separately connected, allowing for flexible selection of the manufacturing method for the second heating layer based on product design, processing technology, and cost control requirements. Integral forming improves overall structural stability and thermal continuity, while separate connection facilitates processing assembly, structural adjustment, and localized maintenance and replacement, thereby enhancing product design adaptability and process implementation flexibility.
[0017] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the second functional module includes a second vibrating element connected to the side of the transverse segment near the longitudinal segment.
[0018] By employing the aforementioned technical means, placing the second vibrating element on the side of the transverse section closer to the longitudinal section allows the vibrational massage effect to be concentrated on the upper and middle back area and key muscle positions near both sides of the spine. These areas are typically where back fatigue and stiffness tend to accumulate. This enhances the relaxation effect on the back muscles, building upon the heating effect of the second heating layer, thereby improving the targeted and comprehensive effectiveness of back therapy.
[0019] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the garment includes an inner layer and an outer layer stacked together, with a physiotherapy module located between the inner and outer layers and connected to the side of the inner layer facing the outer layer. And / or, the physiotherapy module includes a flexible wrapping layer connected to the garment, and the first functional module and the second functional module are wrapped within the flexible wrapping layer.
[0020] Through the aforementioned technical means, the garment body comprises layered inner and outer layers, with the physiotherapy module positioned between them. This provides coverage and protection for the physiotherapy module, reducing the exposure of functional components and improving the overall aesthetics, wearing comfort, and structural stability of the garment. Furthermore, by incorporating a flexible wrapping layer that encloses both the first and second functional modules, the internal functional components can be flexibly fixed and encapsulated, enhancing the reliability of the connection between the physiotherapy module and the garment body. This also makes the overall structure softer and more form-fitting, thereby improving the wearing experience and reducing discomfort caused by rigid components.
[0021] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the flexible wrapping layer is a TPU film with voile and hot stamping.
[0022] By employing the aforementioned technical methods, the flexible wrapping layer is designed as a TPU film with a flowing, hot-stamped finish. This material's excellent flexibility, conformability, and encapsulation properties allow for stable wrapping and protection of the functional modules, thereby improving the protective performance, connection stability, and wearing comfort of the therapeutic modules. Simultaneously, this material also offers a certain level of aesthetic appeal and processing adaptability, achieving a good balance between practicality and aesthetic appeal.
[0023] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the first functional module includes a first heating layer, which is embedded or hot-pressed into the flexible wrapping layer; and / or, the second functional module includes a second heating layer, which is embedded or hot-pressed into the flexible wrapping layer; wherein the first heating layer and / or the second heating layer are composite fiber PVC coated.
[0024] By employing the aforementioned technical means, embedding or hot-pressing the first heating layer and / or the second heating layer into the flexible wrapping layer can improve the bonding strength between the heating layer and the wrapping structure, reducing the possibility of displacement, warping, or partial detachment of the heating layer during use, thereby enhancing the overall structural stability and reliability of the physiotherapy module. Furthermore, by setting the first heating layer and / or the second heating layer as a composite fiber PVC coating, the heating layer can possess a certain degree of flexibility, durability, and processing adaptability, making it more suitable for application in clothing products and improving its stable working ability under repeated bending conditions.
[0025] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, there are multiple control modules, which are located on the outside and inside of the garment, respectively.
[0026] By employing the aforementioned technical means, multiple control modules are configured and arranged on both the outer and inner sides of the garment, respectively, to meet the operational needs of different usage scenarios. The outer control module allows users to quickly adjust functions while wearing the garment, while the inner control module facilitates a more discreet control layout or fulfills specific connection requirements, thereby enhancing the product's human-computer interaction convenience, control flexibility, and overall user experience.
[0027] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, multiple control modules are located at: the hem on the outer side of the garment; the chest pocket on the inner side of the garment or below the chest pocket; And / or, the control switch includes a touch switch and a communication interface, the communication interface being used for energy transfer and / or data transfer.
[0028] Through the aforementioned technical means, multiple control modules are respectively located at the hem on the outside of the garment and in the chest pocket or below the chest pocket on the inside of the garment. This allows the distribution of the control structure to better conform to the user's daily wearing habits, facilitating operation, storage, and connection to external power sources or data devices, thereby improving the accessibility and rationality of the control modules. Furthermore, by incorporating touch switches and communication interfaces, more convenient function switching can be achieved, and energy transmission and / or data transmission can be supported, thereby enhancing the intelligence, power supply convenience, and functional expansion capabilities of the therapeutic garment.
[0029] In summary, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Compared with related technologies, this application provides a garment, including a garment body, a physiotherapy module, and a control module. By setting a first physiotherapy area corresponding to the trapezius muscle area and a second physiotherapy area corresponding to the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscle areas, and setting a first functional module in the first physiotherapy area and a second functional module in the second physiotherapy area, it realizes the zoned physiotherapy settings for the trapezius muscle, erector spinae muscle, and latissimus dorsi muscle. At the same time, by setting a control module electrically connected to the first and second functional modules, the first and / or second functional modules can be controlled to perform corresponding functions according to the usage needs, thereby improving the functional diversity of the product and meeting the personalized and refined usage requirements.

[0032] In this application, the terms "set up," "equipped with," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0033] The terms “center,” “longitudinal,” “lateral,” “length,” “width,” “thickness,” “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “rear,” “left,” “right,” “vertical,” “horizontal,” “top,” “bottom,” “inner,” “outer,” “radial,” and “circumferential” indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0034] Before introducing the embodiments of this application, the relevant technologies involved in this application will be introduced first.
[0035] In related technologies, commercially available functional massage clothing or therapeutic garments typically employ a relatively simple control method, often using a unified start-up or shutdown mode for the entire body. However, different areas of the human body have significantly different needs for massage intensity and heating levels. For example, the shoulder and neck area, back area, and waist and abdomen area differ in terms of fatigue levels, tolerance, and therapeutic needs. If only overall synchronous control is possible, situations may arise where one area requires enhanced therapy while another does not, or one area is suitable for heating while another is not, thus reducing the product's applicability and comfort.
[0036] In summary, the existing technologies lack designs for independent control of different working areas, failing to achieve zoned massage, zoned heating, or zoned adjustment, thus failing to meet users' needs for differentiated physiotherapy for different body parts. To address this issue, this application provides a garment that enables heating and massage adjustment for different working areas.
[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0038] See Figure 1 This application provides a garment, including a garment body, a physiotherapy module 1, and a control module 2. The garment body includes a first physiotherapy area corresponding to the trapezius muscle and a second physiotherapy area corresponding to the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscles. The physiotherapy module 1 is connected to the garment body and includes a first functional module 11 and a second functional module 12. The first functional module 11 is located in the first physiotherapy area for performing massage and / or heating functions on the trapezius muscle, and the second functional module 12 is located in the second physiotherapy area for performing massage and / or heating functions on the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscles. The control module 2 is electrically connected to the first functional module 11 and the second functional module 12 and is used to control the first functional module 11 and / or the second functional module 12 to perform corresponding functions.
[0039] In practical applications, the garment of this application is provided with a first therapeutic area corresponding to the trapezius muscle region of the human body and a second therapeutic area corresponding to the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscle regions of the human body. Here, "corresponding" can be understood as follows: when the garment is worn normally, the first therapeutic area is located on the back of the neck and shoulders and the upper back region to cover the location of the trapezius muscle; the second therapeutic area is located in the middle and lower back region to cover the area where the erector spinae muscle extends along both sides of the spine and the area where the latissimus dorsi muscle is located.
[0040] Because chronic strain and stiffness of the trapezius muscles of the shoulder and neck, erector spinae muscles of the back, and lumbosacral muscles are highly location-specific, this application divides physiotherapy module 1 into two independent functional modules, one acting on the trapezius muscle region and the other acting on the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscle regions.
[0041] Specifically, the physiotherapy module 1 is connected to the garment body and can be fixed to the garment body or embedded in the garment structure so that it can be stably positioned at the preset physiotherapy area when worn. The physiotherapy module 1 includes a first functional module 11 and a second functional module 12. The first functional module 11 is located in the first physiotherapy area and is used to perform massage and / or heating functions on the trapezius muscle. The second functional module 12 is located in the second physiotherapy area and is used to perform massage and / or heating functions on the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscles. The control module 2 is electrically connected to the first functional module 11 and the second functional module 12 and is used to control the working state of the first functional module 11 and the second functional module 12, such as controlling their start-up, shutdown, working duration, working sequence, massage mode, heating level or intensity, etc., so that the first and second physiotherapy areas can work independently, and the physiotherapy parameters of the first and second physiotherapy areas can be adjusted separately to meet the needs of different users. Of course, the first and second physiotherapy areas can also work together, which is not limited in this application.
[0042] It is understood that the massage function can be achieved through a vibrating element, a pulse element, a tapping element, or other structures that can generate mechanical stimulation to the human body, and the heating function can be achieved through a heating element, a heating wire, a heating film, or other flexible heating elements. This embodiment does not limit the form of the specific functional device.
[0043] Compared to related technologies, this application, by setting a first treatment area corresponding to the trapezius muscle and a second treatment area corresponding to the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscles on the garment, and arranging a first functional module 11 and a second functional module 12 in the corresponding areas, matches the treatment areas with the main fatigue-prone muscle groups of the shoulder and back, thus improving the precision and targeting of the treatment areas in the therapeutic clothing. Furthermore, by using the first functional module 11 to perform massage and / or heating functions on the trapezius muscle, and the second functional module 12 to perform massage and / or heating functions on the erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscles, different muscle groups can receive treatment methods adapted to their location and therapeutic needs, achieving a multi-functional layout that simultaneously addresses the needs of multi-area treatment in the shoulder and back. Simultaneously, by setting a control module 2 electrically connected to the first functional module 11 and the second functional module 12, the first functional module 11 and / or the second functional module 12 can be controlled to perform corresponding functions according to usage needs, thereby improving the product's functional diversity and meeting personalized and refined usage requirements.
[0044] Therefore, this embodiment can integrate massage and heating functions into clothing, and achieve zoned therapy and selective control of the trapezius, erector spinae and latissimus dorsi muscles. This not only improves the relieving effect of the therapeutic clothing on shoulder and back fatigue, stiffness and discomfort, but also enhances the product's functionality, flexibility of use and wearing therapy experience.
[0045] It should be noted that the above "correspondence" refers to the positional relationship between the treatment area and the human muscle. That is, when the clothing is worn, the coverage area of the treatment area is exactly the location distribution area of the target muscle group, ensuring that the treatment is precisely applied to the target muscle group.
[0046] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the first functional module 11 includes a first heating layer 111 located in the first physiotherapy area. The first heating layer 111 extends in an arc shape from the position in the first physiotherapy area corresponding to the human spine towards the two shoulders. Here, "arc shape" refers to a curved line or shape, such as a circular arc, elliptical arc, parabolic arc, or even an irregular arc (free curve). When worn, the opening of the arc faces upward, the lowest point of the arc is located at the position corresponding to the human spine, and the highest point of the arc is near or located at the two shoulders.
[0047] In practical applications, the first heating layer 111 extends in an arc from the position corresponding to the human spine towards the two shoulders. Specifically, when worn, the first heating layer 111 is symmetrically distributed about the human spine, extending upwards in an arc from the middle to both ends. The arc of the first heating layer 111 closely matches the direction of the trapezius muscle fibers, effectively covering the upper and middle trapezius muscle areas. The ends of the first heating layer 111 can extend to the shoulders or to a position close to the shoulders, ensuring that heat is accurately conducted to the areas of the trapezius muscle prone to tension. The specific design can be adjusted according to actual conditions.
[0048] Understandably, extending upwards refers to extending from the back towards the shoulders.
[0049] See Figure 2 The first functional module 11 includes a first vibrating element 112, which is located on the first heating layer 111 and close to the position of the first physiotherapy area corresponding to the shoulder of the human body.
[0050] In practical applications, the first treatment zone is the area on the garment corresponding to the trapezius muscle of the human body. The first heating layer 111 is disposed within the first treatment zone for heating and treating the trapezius muscle area. The first vibrating element 112 is installed on the first heating layer 111, or disposed in a structural position that is in close contact with and layered with the first heating layer 111, so as to achieve the vibration stimulation function without significantly affecting the comfort of wearing the garment. Furthermore, the first vibrating element 112 is disposed near the position in the first treatment zone corresponding to the shoulder of the human body. Specifically, the first vibrating element 112 can be disposed near the end of the first heating layer 111, that is, in the area behind the left and right shoulders or near the junction of the shoulder and neck. This area is usually where the upper trapezius muscle is concentrated and prone to fatigue, tension, and soreness. It is understood that the first vibrating element 112 can be a vibration motor, an eccentric vibrator, a linear vibrator, or other components capable of outputting mechanical vibration. This embodiment does not limit the specific structural form, installation method, or quantity of the first vibrating element 112, as long as it can provide vibration stimulation to the corresponding area of the human shoulder while the clothing is worn.
[0051] In this embodiment, by setting a first vibrating element 112 in the first functional module 11 and placing the first vibrating element 112 on the first heating layer 111 and near the first physiotherapy area corresponding to the human shoulder, the vibration effect can be concentrated on the back of the human shoulder and the shoulder-neck junction, which are prone to fatigue and stiffness. This makes the arrangement of the vibrating element in the physiotherapy clothing more precise and the effect on the key sore areas of the shoulder more obvious.
[0052] See again Figure 2 The first functional module 11 is symmetrically arranged about the center line of the garment. That is, when worn, the first heating layer 111 is symmetrically arranged about the center line of the garment. There are multiple first vibration elements 112 arranged symmetrically on the left and right, with at least one first vibration element 112 on each side, to ensure that the upper trapezius muscles on both sides receive precise vibration stimulation synchronously.
[0053] The center line of the garment is: when worn, the center line of the garment corresponds to the human spine.
[0054] See again Figure 2 The second physiotherapy area includes the spinal part corresponding to the erector spinae muscle and the latissimus dorsi muscle corresponding to the latissimus dorsi muscle; the second functional module 12 includes a second heating layer 121, which includes a longitudinal section 1211 and a transverse section 1212 arranged in an inverted T shape. The longitudinal section 1211 is arranged in the spinal part along the extension direction of the spinal part, and the transverse section 1212 is arranged in the latissimus dorsi muscle in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the spinal part.
[0055] In practical application, the second treatment area corresponds to the main muscle groups on the back of the body. The spinal area mainly corresponds to the erector spinae muscles distributed along both sides of the spine in the middle of the back, while the latissimus dorsi area mainly corresponds to the latissimus dorsi muscles distributed in the lower and middle parts of the back. The second heating layer 121 adopts an inverted T-shaped structure, in which the longitudinal segment 1211 extends from top to bottom to adapt to the longitudinal distribution characteristics of the spinal region and the erector spinae muscles; the transverse segment 1212 connects to the longitudinal segment 1211 and extends in the left and right directions to cover the latissimus dorsi areas on both sides of the back. Here, "inverted T-shaped" means that the second heating layer 121 forms a structure that extends longitudinally at the top and laterally to the left and right sides at the bottom, thus corresponding to the different regional characteristics of the latissimus dorsi and spinal regions, respectively.
[0056] By dividing the second treatment area into a spinal region corresponding to the erector spinae muscles and a latissimus dorsi region corresponding to the latissimus dorsi muscles, and setting an inverted T-shaped second heating layer 121 in the second functional module 12, the longitudinal section 1211 extends along the spinal region and the transverse section 1212 extends along the latissimus dorsi region, thus allowing the heating structure to simultaneously adapt to the distribution characteristics of the midline area and the lateral muscle groups of the human back. Since the longitudinal section 1211 can provide continuous heating coverage along the central axis of the back for the spinal region, and the transverse section 1212 can extend to both sides of the back and act on the latissimus dorsi region, the heat distribution can better conform to the actual direction of the back muscles, reducing the problem of insufficient treatment range caused by heating only localized areas. This not only improves the overall coverage and targeted heat therapy of key back muscles, but also promotes blood circulation in the back, relieves tension, stiffness, and fatigue discomfort in the muscles on both sides of the spine and back, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effect and comfort of the clothing on the back area.
[0057] It should be noted that longitudinal extension refers to the upward and downward extension along the direction of the human spine, while lateral extension refers to the left and right extension perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction, which can be understood as the horizontal extension along the line connecting the two shoulders of the human body.
[0058] In one embodiment, the longitudinal segment 1211 and the transverse segment 1212 are integrally formed or separately connected. That is, the second heating layer 121 can be composed of an integrally formed heating structure or can be formed by combining multiple interconnected heating units, as long as it forms an inverted T-shaped arrangement of the longitudinal segment 1211 and the transverse segment 1212 as a whole, and can respectively perform heat therapy on the spine and latissimus dorsi muscles. This embodiment does not limit this.
[0059] For example, the longitudinal segment 1211 can be a longitudinal strip structure symmetrically arranged on both sides of the spine, while the transverse segment 1212 is a segmented transverse strip structure that is symmetrical from left to right, covering the lower edge area of the left and right latissimus dorsi muscles respectively; the segments are bridged by flexible wires or conductive fabrics, and the longitudinal segment 1211 and the transverse segment 1212 can be independently temperature controlled to achieve differentiated adjustment of heating intensity between the spine and the latissimus dorsi muscles, or they can be uniformly temperature controlled to ensure balanced heat distribution.
[0060] See again Figure 2 The second functional module 12 includes a second vibrating element 122, which is connected to the side of the transverse section 1212 near the longitudinal section 1211.
[0061] In practical applications, the second functional module 12 includes a second vibrating element 122, which is connected to the side of the transverse segment 1212 near the longitudinal segment 1211. Specifically, the second functional module 12 is located in the second physiotherapy area for physiotherapy of the human back region. The transverse segment 1212 of the second heating layer 121 primarily corresponds to the latissimus dorsi muscle, while the longitudinal segment 1211 primarily corresponds to the spine. The second vibrating element 122 is located on the side of the transverse segment 1212 near the longitudinal segment 1211, that is, at a position on the back adjacent to the spine. This position typically corresponds to an area where the back muscles are concentrated and prone to fatigue and tension. The second vibrating element 122 can be directly fixed to the transverse segment 1212 or indirectly connected to the corresponding position on the transverse segment 1212, as long as it can effectively transmit vibration to the corresponding area of the human back while clothing is worn.
[0062] See again Figure 2 The second functional module 12 is symmetrically arranged about the center line of the garment; that is, the longitudinal segment 1211 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line of the garment, and the transverse segment 1212 also extends symmetrically to the left and right along the center line to ensure that the heat treatment area is highly matched with the structure of the human back. At the same time, the second vibrating element 122 is also symmetrically arranged along the center line, with at least one on the left and one on the right, so as to achieve synchronous relaxation and coordinated stimulation of the muscle groups on both sides of the human back.
[0063] In one embodiment, the garment includes an inner layer and an outer layer stacked together, with a physiotherapy module 1 located between the inner and outer layers and connected to the side of the inner layer facing the outer layer.
[0064] In practical applications, garments typically consist of two layers: an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is the side that is closest to or in contact with the skin when worn, while the outer layer is the side that is furthest from the skin and faces the external environment. The therapeutic module 1 is positioned between the inner and outer layers, placing it entirely within the garment's interlayer space, thus forming a concealed integrated structure. The therapeutic module 1 is connected to the inner layer on the side facing the outer layer; that is, it is fixed to the side of the inner layer that is not in contact with the body, and then covered by the outer layer, placing it inside the garment. The therapeutic module 1 can be connected using methods such as sewing, bonding, thermoforming, partial fixing, detachable connection, or other suitable garment assembly methods, as long as the therapeutic module 1 is stably positioned between the inner and outer layers and maintains a basic correspondence with the target therapeutic area of the body during wear. This embodiment does not limit the specific materials or thicknesses of the inner and outer layers.
[0065] In one embodiment, the physiotherapy module 1 includes a flexible wrapping layer connected to the garment body, and the first functional module 11 and the second functional module 12 are wrapped inside the flexible wrapping layer.
[0066] In practical applications, the flexible wrapping layer serves as the support and encapsulation structure for the physiotherapy module 1. The first functional module 11 and the second functional module 12 are disposed within the flexible wrapping layer to form relatively independent physiotherapy components, and are connected to the garment body through the flexible wrapping layer. The connection method between the flexible wrapping layer and the garment body can be sewn connection, adhesive connection, heat-pressed connection, detachable connection, or other connection forms suitable for assembling clothing and functional components, as long as the physiotherapy module 1 can be stably disposed in the predetermined area of the garment body. By uniformly wrapping the first functional module 11 and the second functional module 12 within the flexible wrapping layer, not only can the layout of each functional module on the garment body be more concentrated and orderly, but it also facilitates the overall installation, disassembly, replacement, or maintenance of the physiotherapy module 1. This embodiment does not limit the specific material, number of layers, thickness, wrapping form of the flexible wrapping layer, or the specific distribution of the first functional module 11 and the second functional module 12 within the flexible wrapping layer.
[0067] It should be noted that the flexible wrapping layer has good flexibility and extensibility, and can naturally conform to the curve of the human back.
[0068] In one embodiment, the flexible wrapping layer can be a tufted and gold-stamped TPU film. This tufted and gold-stamped TPU film can be understood as a flexible composite wrapping material formed by combining a TPU film as the base carrier with a tufted structure and a gold-stamping process. The TPU film itself has good flexibility, elasticity, bending resistance, and a certain degree of adhesion, making it suitable for functional layer encapsulation in clothing products. The tufted structure enhances the appearance and feel of the flexible wrapping layer; the gold-stamping process improves the structural recognizability or decorative appearance of the material surface without significantly affecting the basic flexibility of the flexible wrapping layer. When using a tufted and gold-stamped TPU film as the flexible wrapping layer, the first functional module 11 and the second functional module 12 can be wrapped within the wrapping space formed by the TPU film, and the flexible wrapping layer is connected to the garment body, creating a structure for the physiotherapy module 1 that combines flexibility, coverage, and garment adaptability. Furthermore, the flexible wrapping layer with the gold-stamped pattern visually serves as an identifier or functional zoning indicator, facilitating quick identification of the physiotherapy area location by the user.
[0069] In one embodiment, the first heating layer 111 is embedded or hot-pressed into the flexible wrapping layer. The first heating layer 111 can serve as a heating functional component in the physiotherapy module 1, used to generate heat when powered on or in operation, and transfer the heat to the corresponding human physiotherapy area to achieve the effects of hot compress, warming, or auxiliary physiotherapy. The first heating layer 111 is disposed in the flexible wrapping layer and can be combined with the flexible wrapping layer by embedding or hot-pressing. Embedding can be understood as the first heating layer 111 being disposed within the internal structure of the flexible wrapping layer, so that the first heating layer 111 is covered, limited, or clamped by the material of the flexible wrapping layer; hot-pressing can be understood as using temperature and pressure to form a relatively stable bond between the first heating layer 111 and the flexible wrapping layer, thereby fixing the first heating layer 111 at a predetermined position in the flexible wrapping layer.
[0070] Similarly, the second heating layer 121 can also be embedded or hot-pressed into the flexible wrapping layer. The second heating layer 121 can be combined with the flexible wrapping layer using the same material or process as the first heating layer 111. The specific connection method can be referred to the implementation method of the first heating layer 111, which will not be described in detail in this application.
[0071] In one embodiment, the first heating layer 111 can be a composite fiber PVC-coated layer. The composite fiber PVC-coated layer integrates a fine nickel-chromium alloy heating wire inside and forms a PVC-coated layer on the outside. The composite fiber PVC-coated layer has good conductivity, uniform heating, and flexibility and fold resistance, which can hot-press the first heating layer 111 into the flexible wrapping layer to achieve stable adhesion and long-term durability.
[0072] In one embodiment, the second heating layer 121 can also be a composite fiber PVC-coated layer, with the same structure as the first heating layer 111. It also integrates a micro-fine nickel-chromium alloy heating wire inside and is covered with a PVC adhesive layer on the outside to ensure uniform heating, flexibility, fold resistance, and long-term stability. The two heating layers can be independently temperature controlled and correspond to different physiotherapy areas to achieve precise heat therapy.
[0073] In one embodiment, the two heating layers can be set to three temperature levels, corresponding to low temperature (40°C), medium temperature (50°C) and high temperature (55°C) respectively, and the two heating layers are controlled by the control module 2 to achieve zone control.
[0074] Specifically, there can be multiple control modules 2, located on the outer and inner sides of the garment. Each control module 2 is a functional component used for heating adjustment, function switching, working status control, parameter setting, or module linkage control. The number of control modules is not limited to a single module; it can be two or more depending on the structural layout and usage requirements of the therapeutic garment. The multiple control modules 2 located on the outer and inner sides of the garment indicate that at least one control module 2 is located on the side of the garment facing the external environment, facilitating direct operation by the user while wearing the garment; at least one control module 2 is located on the side of the garment facing the human body, facilitating rapid touch adjustment or concealed interaction in different scenarios.
[0075] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, multiple control modules 2 are respectively located at: the hem on the outside of the garment; the chest pocket on the inside of the garment or below the chest pocket.
[0076] In practical applications, at least one control module 2 is located at the hem on the outside of the garment, which means that the user can easily reach and adjust it with one hand when standing; at least one control module 2 is located in the chest pocket or below the chest pocket on the inside of the garment, ensuring that it can be adjusted blindly when lying down or sitting, taking into account both ease of operation and concealment when wearing the garment; each control module 2 is electrically connected to the physiotherapy module 1 through a flexible circuit to ensure stable signal transmission and not interfere with the softness of the garment.
[0077] In one embodiment, the control switch includes a touch switch and a communication interface, the communication interface being used for power transmission and / or data transmission.
[0078] In practical applications, the control switch not only serves as a user input function but also functions as an external connection, information exchange, or power supply interface. The touch switch can be a touch-sensitive switch, allowing users to control the operating status of the physiotherapy module 1 by touching or pressing, such as starting, stopping, switching modes, adjusting intensity, or selecting functions. The communication interface can be an interface structure connecting to external devices, power modules, detection modules, or data processing units, and its purpose can be energy transmission and / or data transmission. That is, the communication interface can be used to input electrical energy into the physiotherapy module 1, as well as to transmit control signals, status information, monitoring data, or interactive data; in some embodiments, the communication interface can also simultaneously perform the dual functions of power supply connection and data exchange. By integrating the touch switch and communication interface into the control switch, the control structure can simultaneously possess human-machine interaction and interface connection capabilities, thereby improving the integration level of the overall control unit.
[0079] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0080] Furthermore, in addition to indicating location or positional relationship, some of the aforementioned terms may also have other meanings. For example, the term "above" may also be used in some cases to indicate a certain dependency or connection relationship. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0081] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
