Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of personal care and physiotherapy equipment technology, specifically a multifunctional bathing and physiotherapy airbag. Background Technology

[0002] With the fast pace of modern life, people's demands for health care are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Traditional bathing methods can no longer meet the comprehensive needs of cleansing, relaxation, therapy, and personalized microenvironment regulation. Currently, bathing-related products on the market are mainly divided into two categories: one is basic cleaning products, such as ordinary bath balls and bath brushes, which can only help remove dirt from the skin; the other is functional therapy equipment, such as saunas, steam rooms, steam bath masks, or localized hot compresses, traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and moxibustion, which can provide a warming effect, but generally suffer from problems such as limited functionality, limited usage scenarios, or insufficient comfort.

[0003] Taking saunas as an example, they promote sweating through a high-temperature environment, but require fixed installation space and have high overall energy consumption for heating, making it impossible to achieve precise localized therapy. While steam masks can provide localized coverage, they often use rigid frames or simple fabric splicing, resulting in poor fit to the body and easy heat loss due to inadequate sealing. Furthermore, the steam temperature is difficult to control evenly, potentially causing skin burns or uneven therapeutic effects. In addition, existing localized heat therapy devices (such as hot water bottles and electric blankets) mostly rely on conductive heat, failing to simulate the microenvironment of natural sweating. Moreover, their materials are not heat-resistant or have poor breathability, which can easily lead to stuffy, damp, and uncomfortable skin with long-term use, and even bacterial growth.

[0004] To address the need for a combination of skin perspiration and therapeutic effects, some products attempt to achieve breathability and perspiration through microporous materials. However, the microporous structures in existing technologies are mostly randomly distributed mechanically punched or chemically corroded pores, with varying pore sizes and uncontrollable distribution density, which cannot accurately simulate human skin. The physiological characteristics of skin pores (human sweat pores are approximately 0.02-0.05 mm in diameter, with a density of about 50-100 pores per square centimeter) mean that excessively large pores may cause rapid leakage of the aerosol medium, while excessively small pores may hinder perspiration, affecting the therapeutic experience. Furthermore, most products prioritize cost in their material selection, using ordinary plastics or rubber, which have poor high-temperature resistance (usually below 80℃). When exposed to high-temperature aerosol mediums, these materials are prone to softening, deformation, and even the release of harmful substances, posing safety hazards.

[0005] In terms of design, existing local physiotherapy devices mostly use Velcro, straps, or elastic bands for fixation. While these provide basic fixation, they are difficult to adapt to the neck curves of users with different body types, easily leading to loosening or a feeling of pressure, and failing to create a stable, close-fitting, sealed space. For example, some neck heating pads may cause airbag displacement due to uneven tightening force, reducing the targeted nature of local physiotherapy; while some full-body wrap-around devices are bulky and inconvenient to store, limiting their frequency of use in home settings.

[0006] Furthermore, existing products mostly use open interfaces or direct liquid injection for media input, lacking a linkage design with the generator. This makes it impossible to precisely control the temperature, humidity, and spray volume of the aerosol, resulting in therapeutic effects relying on user experience for adjustments and a high operational threshold. For individuals requiring long-term skin care or post-operative recovery (such as those with sensitive skin or joint discomfort), existing products struggle to provide a gentle, controllable, and personalized microclimate environment.

[0007] In summary, the market needs a multifunctional bathing and physiotherapy device that can balance localized sealing, microporous perspiration biomimicry, material safety, and precise medium input, while also being simple and convenient to operate and inexpensive. This would address the shortcomings of traditional products in terms of functional integration, comfort, and therapeutic effects, and meet users' needs for efficient, safe, and personalized health care. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional bathing therapy airbag. By incorporating sweat pores, fine rubber bundles, and air inlets, combined with specific materials and microporous design, it can be adapted to different body types, forming a close-fitting sealed space and introducing an aerosol medium to achieve a bathing therapy effect that mimics human perspiration, thus meeting the needs for comfortable and safe therapy.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a multifunctional bathing therapy airbag, including an airbag bag, wherein the end face of the airbag bag is provided with sweat holes, the upper end of the airbag bag is provided with thin rubber bundles around the bag opening, the lower end of the airbag bag is provided with an air inlet, and the lower end of the airbag bag is provided with a power socket.

[0010] Furthermore, the airbag adopts a rectangular pocket-style structure design to accommodate the body wrapping needs of users of different body sizes.

[0011] Furthermore, the opening of the airbag is tightly bound to the lower part of the user's neck with a thin rubber band, forming a relatively closed space that wraps around the body.

[0012] Furthermore, an air inlet is provided at the bottom of the airbag for connecting an external or internal generator to input the aerosol medium.

[0013] Furthermore, the plastic film of the airbag is treated with laser perforation technology to form a microporous structure that mimics the pores of human skin.

[0014] Furthermore, the micropore diameter of the airbag is equal to or greater than 0.025 mm, and the distribution density is available in two specifications: 50 or 100 per square centimeter.

[0015] Furthermore, the airbag is made of a polypropylene (Ppp5) plastic film, which is a high-end food-grade material that can withstand temperatures up to 120°C without decomposing.

[0016] This invention provides a multifunctional bath therapy airbag, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This airbag features a rectangular pocket design, which can flexibly adapt to different body types. The bag evenly covers the body contours of users, from slender to full-figured, avoiding localized pressure or air leakage caused by size discrepancies. The opening is secured to the lower neck with a thin rubber band, ensuring a stable fit without excessive constriction, creating a relatively enclosed space. This snug design allows all parts of the user's body to fully contact the airbag, and with subsequent mist infusion, heat and medicinal effects can penetrate the skin evenly, reducing energy loss due to incomplete coverage. This significantly enhances the immersive and comfortable experience during bathing therapy, making it especially suitable for home and personal use at home anytime in the living room.

[0017] The plastic film of the airbag is laser-perforated to create a microporous structure mimicking the pores of human skin, with the pore size precisely controlled at approximately 0.025 mm. Two density options are available: 50 or 100 pores per square centimeter. This biomimetic micropore structure not only simulates the physiological characteristics of natural human perspiration but also allows for flexible density selection based on the usage scenario (e.g., focusing on moisture wicking or aerosol absorption). Low density is suitable for gentle perspiration, while high density enhances aerosol penetration. The microporous structure avoids the stuffiness and sweat-trapping problems of traditional sealed bags, while allowing the introduced aerosol medium (such as medicated bath mist or aromatherapy mist) to more easily penetrate the film and be absorbed by the skin, achieving a dynamic balance between "exhaustion" and "absorption," thus improving the breathability and effectiveness of the therapeutic process.

[0018] The airbag is made of polypropylene (PPP5) plastic film, a high-end food-grade material with no harmful chemical additives. It will not release toxic substances when in direct contact with skin or when used with medicated bath media, ensuring safety from the outset. Crucially, it withstands temperatures up to 120℃ without decomposing, making it widely applicable in traditional Chinese medicine fumigation and moxibustion treatments, various skin-beautifying and nourishing lotions for sauna, Western medicine skin disinfection or cooling compresses, and public bathhouses, massage parlors, and leisure clubs. The combination of food-grade properties and high-temperature resistance allows users to enjoy high-temperature therapy without worrying about material safety, making it especially suitable for health-conscious families. For long-term use in homes or physiotherapy facilities.

[0019] This airbag features a relatively enclosed, wraparound design, with thin rubber bands tightly binding the lower part of the neck to create a close-fitting, sealed space. This effectively prevents the rapid dissipation and loss of heat and moisture, maintaining a stable and comfortable internal temperature and humidity during bathing therapy. This design significantly reduces the consumption of water, electricity, and medical resources, saving over 50% compared to traditional open or non-enclosed bathing methods. It lowers user costs and aligns with a low-carbon, energy-saving lifestyle, making daily therapeutic bathing more economical and environmentally friendly.

[0020] The airbag is made of ultra-thin food-grade polypropylene (Ppp5) film, laser-perforated to create a microporous structure mimicking human sweat pores (pore diameter ≥0.025mm, density selectable at 50 or 100 pores per square centimeter). It is lightweight, breathable, and heat-resistant (does not decompose at 120℃). Furthermore, its simple structure allows for mass production, costing only 2-3 yuan per bag. It is designed for single use, eliminating the hassle of sterilization, storage, and preservation, perfectly suited to the modern lifestyle that prioritizes comfort and convenience, transforming bathing therapy from a "troublesome affair" into an "easy enjoyment."

[0023] Part Name: 1. Airbag; 2. Sweat vent; 3. Thin rubber bundle; 4. Air inlet. Detailed Implementation

[0024] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1 This embodiment describes a basic home sauna therapy application based on a multifunctional bath therapy airbag. The user first inspects the airbag 1 to ensure it is undamaged. The airbag 1 has a versatile rectangular pocket structure that can be easily slipped onto the torso. After showering, the user puts on the airbag 1 while their body is still damp and carefully adjusts the upper opening to position it below the neck. Next, using the thin rubber band 3 at the upper end of the airbag 1, the opening is securely tightened, forming a relatively sealed space that fits the body. Then, the user connects the output hose of a household steam generator to the air inlet 4 at the lower end of the airbag 1 and connects the power cord of the steam generator to the power socket 5 of the airbag 1. After starting the steam generator, warm, humid steam is continuously introduced into the airbag 1 through the air inlet 4, gradually... The airbag gradually fills, creating a warm and humid microenvironment that envelops the entire body for basic sauna treatment. During this process, the numerous sweat pores 2 covering the surface of the airbag 1 play a crucial role. These microporous structures, formed using advanced perforation technology to mimic sweat pores, effectively release excess moisture and sweat vapor accumulated inside the airbag, allowing the user's skin to breathe moderately throughout the sauna. This effectively avoids the stuffiness and stickiness that can occur with traditional closed saunas, achieving a comfortable and lasting therapeutic experience. After the treatment, the user loosens the thin rubber bundle 3, removes the airbag 1, and disconnects the device. This embodiment fully utilizes the enveloping properties of the airbag 1, the sealing properties of the thin rubber bundle 3, the medium input function of the air inlet 4, and the slow-release and breathable characteristics of the sweat pores 2, forming a complete personal home sauna process.

[0027] Example 2 This embodiment demonstrates the application of a multifunctional bathing and therapeutic airbag combined with herbal fumigation. The user prepares a nebulizer containing traditionally prepared herbal extracts such as sea buckthorn extract, pine needle extract, rose extract, and lavender extract. Before use, ensure the airbag 1 is intact and the thin rubber band 3 at its upper end is elastic. Next, tightly connect the nebulizer's output tube to the specially designed air inlet 4 at the lower end of the airbag 1, and simultaneously connect the power supply to the power socket 5. The user places the airbag 1 over their body and secures it below the neck with the thin rubber band 3, forming a close-fitting wrap. After activating the device, the warm herbal mist, rich in herbal essences, is stably delivered into the airbag 1 through the air inlet 4. The mist diffuses evenly within the relatively enclosed space, making full contact with the user's skin for herbal fumigation. During this process, the inherent safety and high-temperature resistance of the airbag 1 material ensures stability in contact with the warm herbal mist. Meanwhile, the densely distributed sweat pores 2 on the surface of the airbag 1 continuously exchange gases. These pores not only allow a small amount of medicinal mist molecules to escape slowly, but also remove sweat and excess moisture evaporated from the skin. The gas is released slowly and promptly, maintaining an effective concentration of medicinal mist while preventing excessive internal humidity that could cause discomfort, stickiness, and difficulty breathing. This design ensures the effectiveness of the therapeutic medium during the fumigation process while enhancing user comfort. After fumigation, the device is turned off, the straps are loosened, and the airbag 1 is removed and cleaned. This embodiment highlights the function of the air inlet 4 in introducing specific therapeutic media and the important role of the sweat vent 2 in maintaining a comfortable and balanced therapeutic environment.

[0028] Example 3 This embodiment describes the process of using a multifunctional bath therapy airbag for deep relaxation and assisted perspiration in a professional physiotherapy institution. The therapist guides the client through a simple hot shower to warm and moisturize the body. Then, the therapist assists the client in wearing the airbag 1, which, with its rectangular pocket-like structure, fits well to the torso of clients of different body types. The therapist carefully adjusts the airbag 1 and uses the thin rubber band 3 at the top to tighten it appropriately around the client's neck, ensuring a comfortable, close-fitting space. Next, the therapist connects the central generator pipe, which outputs steam at different temperature levels, to the air inlet 4 at the bottom of the airbag 1 and turns on the power. Upon activation, dry or humid hot steam fills the airbag 1 through the air inlet 4, rapidly increasing the internal temperature and inducing deep perspiration. Throughout the treatment, the sweat pores 2, formed by precision perforation technology on the surface of the airbag 1, act as "intelligent breathing." These airbags are evenly distributed on the surface of the bag, like expanded pores on the skin, continuously and slowly releasing the large amount of sweat vapor and some excess heat from the customer's skin to the outside. This avoids the discomforts commonly experienced in hot and humid environments, such as shortness of breath, palpitations, and excessive stickiness, allowing the customer to enjoy a more relaxing sweating process for a longer period. After the treatment, the thin rubber bundle 3 is untied, and the customer leaves the airbag with the assistance of the therapist.

[0029] The airbag is for single use only, meaning the plastic bag can be disposed of as a waste. This embodiment demonstrates how the device, in professional settings, connects to a powerful air source through the air inlet 4 and combines this with the optimized breathability design of the sweat pores 2 to achieve efficient and comfortable therapeutic applications.

[0030] Example 4 This embodiment describes a targeted localized physiotherapy application mode for the shoulders, neck, and back. The user, based on the area of ​​discomfort, primarily wraps the rectangular bag of the airbag 1 around the upper body, specifically the shoulders, neck, and back area. By adjusting the wearing angle and utilizing the thin rubber band 3 designed at the upper end of the airbag 1, it is tightened at the chest or under the armpits, thus creating a relatively enclosed therapeutic space specifically for the shoulders and back. Subsequently, the user connects the output port of a small portable thermal mist device to the air inlet 4 at the lower end of the airbag 1 and turns on the power. The soothing thermal mist generated by the device is directly delivered to the target area through the air inlet 4. Under the continuous action of the thermal mist, the muscles in the area relax, and blood circulation is promoted. Simultaneously, the numerous sweat pores 2 on the airbag 1 ensure the comfort of the localized therapeutic environment. These micropores allow moisture and some heat generated on the skin to dissipate gently, effectively preventing the skin from feeling macerated and stuffy due to prolonged localized heat and moisture and the inability of sweat to evaporate. This allows for longer and more comfortable localized heat therapy. After use, the user disconnects the device, unties the thin rubber bundle 3, removes the air bag 1, and cleans the skin. This embodiment demonstrates the flexibility of the device's application; its rectangular structure and adjustable thin rubber bundle 3 allow for localized wrapping, while the coordinated operation of the air inlet 4 and the sweat pores 2 ensures that localized therapy is both effective and comfortable.

[0031] Example 5 This embodiment illustrates the application of a multifunctional bath therapy airbag in daily home bathing to consolidate the thermal effect and cleanse the body. After completing a regular hot shower, the user does not immediately dry off. Keep your skin moisturized. Then, slip the clean airbag 1 over your body like a bathrobe, securing it gently below the neck using the thin rubber band 3 at the top to create a simple, moisturizing, and warm space around your torso. Next, connect the outlet hose of a health device (or a low-power steam device) with a warm, gentle breeze function to the air inlet 4 at the bottom of the airbag 1. Once activated, warm, dry or slightly moist airflow is gently delivered into the airbag 1 through the air inlet 4. This warm airflow helps maintain the body's surface temperature after bathing, slows down moisture loss, and promotes continued cleansing and relaxation of pores. During this gentle warming process, the sweat pores 2 on the surface of the airbag 1 play a crucial role. They allow residual moisture naturally released by the body, as well as any trace amounts of moisture that may enter, to be released smoothly, completely avoiding the stuffy, humid feeling that can occur with a completely sealed plastic film, ensuring dryness and comfort during the wrapping process. After a few minutes, once the user feels warm and comfortable, they can turn off the device, untie the thin rubber bundle 3, remove the airbag 1, and gently dry their body with a dry towel. This embodiment highlights the device's simple use in daily health maintenance, introducing a gentle medium through the air inlet 4 and maintaining breathability through the sweat pores 2, achieving a comfortable post-bathing warming experience.
