Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of wearable medical device technology, specifically to an auxiliary treatment device and control system for improving male sexual function. Background Technology

[0002] Male sexual dysfunction, especially erectile dysfunction and ejaculatory control disorders, is a common functional disorder in clinical practice. Current common treatments include: oral medications (such as PDE5 inhibitors); psychological and behavioral interventions; injection or surgical treatments; and physical stimulation (such as vacuum pressure stimulation, electrical stimulation, etc.). Among these, neurostimulation, as a non-pharmacological, repeatable, and controllable treatment, has gradually gained attention in recent years. Studies have shown that the dorsal nerve of the penis, as the main sensory afferent nerve of the penis, is closely related to the erectile and ejaculatory reflexes. By applying appropriate parameters to the dorsal nerve of the penis with electrical stimulation, it is possible to, to some extent,: regulate the nerve excitation threshold; delay the triggering of the ejaculatory reflex; and improve erectile maintenance ability.

[0003] However, existing technologies still have the following problems: the electrode stimulation location is singular, resulting in limited stimulation coverage; the stimulation parameters are fixed, making it difficult to adapt to individual differences; the stimulation of the left and right nerves is unbalanced, leading to unstable therapeutic effects; and the comfort and safety of wearing the device are insufficient. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an auxiliary treatment device and control system to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The auxiliary treatment device and control system for improving male sexual function provided in this application embodiment can achieve the following technical effects: The adjuvant therapy device for improving male sexual function described in this application can controllably electrically stimulate the dorsal nerve of the penis through multiple pairs of electrodes, thereby improving male erectile function and prolonging the duration of intercourse.

[0017] This application discloses an auxiliary therapeutic device for improving male sexual function based on a soft silicone material for the electrode carrier, gel electrodes, and uniform stimulation from an arc-shaped contact surface. The electrode carrier includes a first main body, a first silicone magnetic clasp, a first silicone wire, a first silicone side ear, a first side ear silicone magnetic clasp, and a first side ear silicone wire. The electrode carrier also includes a second main body, a second silicone magnetic clasp, a second silicone wire, a second silicone side ear, a second side ear silicone magnetic clasp, and a second side ear silicone wire. The electrode carrier is made of a soft silicone material that can flexibly cover at least a portion of the penis, ensuring a continuous and stable fit between the device and the penile surface when worn. The first electrode, the first side ear electrode, the second electrode, and the second side ear electrode are all replaceable consumable electrodes, such as gel electrodes. They are connected to the soft silicone bodies (first main body, first side ear main body, second main body, second side ear main body, etc.) via adsorption and maintain full contact with the skin under the elastic constraint of the soft silicone. The contact surface between the electrode and the penile surface is further designed with an arc shape to adapt to changes in the curvature of the penile surface. This results in a larger effective contact area between the electrode and the skin; a more uniform distribution of contact pressure; and a significant reduction in local contact impedance differences, thereby optimizing the conduction conditions of the electrical stimulation signal. This allows for: effectively reducing local current concentration and avoiding the formation of stimulation hotspots; reducing stinging or burning sensations caused by poor contact; improving the uniformity and stability of electrical stimulation distribution along the dorsal penile nerve pathway; ensuring that stimulation is not limited to a single contact point but forms a continuous or semi-continuous coverage along the dorsal side of the penis, thus improving the stimulation coverage of the dorsal penile nerve; and maintaining consistency in the stimulation area during repeated use or under different wearing conditions, which is beneficial for obtaining stable and repeatable stimulation effects.

[0018] This application discloses an auxiliary therapeutic device for improving male sexual function, based on a magnetic electrode connection structure that offers both connection reliability and ease of maintenance. Both the first and second main bodies are magnetically attached to either a first or second silicone magnetic clasp, and subsequently electrically connected to either the first or second electrode. Similarly, both the first and second ear main bodies are magnetically attached to either the first or second ear silicone magnetic clasp, and subsequently electrically connected to either the first or second ear electrode. This magnetic structure provides a stable mechanical connection while ensuring a reliable electrical signal conduction path between the electrode and the lead wire. Based on these structural features: the electrodes are less prone to contact interruption due to pulling or displacement during use; electrode consumables can be quickly disassembled and replaced; and maintenance and usage convenience are improved while ensuring reliable electrical connection.

[0019] The control system for improving male sexual function described in this application features multi-waveform stimulation output and mid-to-high frequency coverage. This allows the device to output various waveforms such as square waves, sine waves, and triangle waves, covering stimulation parameters from mid-frequency to higher frequencies. This flexible waveform and frequency configuration improves the adaptability of stimulation and training strategies and expands the research scope, facilitating parameter optimization for different neural response mechanisms. The control system for improving male sexual function disclosed in this application allows for full parameter control of adjustable frequency, pulse width, and amplitude. It covers a range of commonly used stimulation parameters (frequency approximately 1Hz to 200kHz, pulse width approximately 1μs to 5ms, and intensity range 0.5mA to 20mA), enabling the device to perform fine-grained adjustments based on different user electrode contact conditions and treatment needs, thereby improving the consistency and individualized adaptation of stimulation effects.

[0020] The control system for improving male sexual function in this application can improve the stability of stimulation by providing constant current output. It ensures that the preset current output can still be maintained even when the contact impedance fluctuates or the electrode attachment state changes. This avoids the output instability caused by impedance changes in traditional voltage-driven methods, thereby significantly improving the controllability and repeatability of stimulation.

Those skilled in the art can perform the steps in different orders without departing from the basic principles of this application.

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the embodiment of this application, an auxiliary treatment device for improving male sexual function is provided. The auxiliary treatment device includes a main unit cover 1, a main unit assembly 2, a button section 3, a first electrode assembly 4, and a second electrode assembly 5. The main unit cover 1 is a flexible, arc-shaped cover. The main unit assembly 2 is disposed inside the main unit cover 1. The button section 3 is disposed outside the main unit cover 1. The first electrode assembly 4 and the second electrode assembly 5 are symmetrically disposed on both sides of the main unit assembly. The main unit cover 1, the first electrode assembly 4, and the second electrode assembly 5 elastically cover and clamp the area of ​​the penis to be tested for stimulation of the dorsal nerve of the penis.

[0030] Specifically, in the auxiliary treatment device of this application, the main unit cover 1, the first electrode assembly 4, and the second electrode assembly 5 are all made of elastic materials, such as soft silicone. Furthermore, all three employ an arc-shaped structure design, and the elastic material allows them to perfectly conform to the shape of the penis, completely covering the area to be tested after erection. This makes it suitable for different individuals, improving the uniformity and consistency of stimulation. The securely fixed electrodes enhance the continuity and reliability of electrical stimulation signal transmission. Wearing comfort is improved, reducing skin discomfort and usage risks, and enhancing overall safety. The main unit assembly 2 provides power and signal control for the entire device. The button section 3 allows for turning the device on and off.

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the main unit assembly 2 includes a main unit housing 21, a power supply 22, a printed circuit board 23, and a charging socket 24. The main unit housing 21 includes an upper housing 211 and a lower housing 212. The power supply 22 is disposed within the lower housing 212. The printed circuit board 23 is disposed within the lower housing 212, electrically connected to the power supply 22, and isolated from the power supply 22 by a power insulation cotton 25. The charging socket 24 is mounted on the printed circuit board 23 to charge the power supply 22 via the printed circuit board 23.

[0032] Specifically, the upper casing 211 and lower casing 212 of the main unit are shaped to fit together, forming a rectangular main unit housing 21. The lower casing 212 has multiple mounting positions for mounting the power supply 22 and the printed circuit board 23. The power supply 22 is positioned close to the inner center of the lower casing 212. The printed circuit board 23 is located outside the power supply 22 and mounted on both sides of the lower casing 212. A power insulation cotton 25 is placed between the printed circuit board 23 and the power supply 22 to isolate them, providing cushioning and shock absorption to prevent damage from hard contact, insulation to prevent short circuits and leakage, and to avoid localized heat accumulation, meeting the heat dissipation requirements of small devices. The printed circuit board 23 can generate stimulation current, manage circuit board charging and discharging, control power on / off functions, control the operation of the first electrode assembly 4 and the second electrode assembly 5, and implement Bluetooth data transmission functions. The charging socket 24 is mounted on the printed circuit board 23, and its internal components are connected to the power supply 22 through the printed circuit board 23. Its charging port is exposed on the outside of the entire device for convenient charging and discharging.

[0033] Preferably, the power source 22 can be a battery. The battery powers the entire device. The charging socket 24 has a built-in magnetic ring structure with strong magnetic attraction, and its wires are connected to the printed circuit board 23. The matching charging cable also has a magnetic attraction structure, automatically aligning and connecting to the charging socket 24 through magnetic attraction, thereby realizing device charging. This design has the following advantages: reduced insertion and removal wear; improved charging connection stability; and reduced risk of misoperation.

[0034] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the button section 3 includes a button 31, a lamp, and a decorative ring 32. The button 31 is fixed to and electrically connected to the printed circuit board 23 for activating the entire auxiliary treatment device. The lamp is disposed on the printed circuit board 23. The decorative ring 32 is snapped onto the protruding outer side of the main unit cover 1 for assisting in fixing the button 31 and indicating the brightness of the lamp.

[0035] Specifically, button 31 and the light can be soldered onto printed circuit board 23 and electrically connected to it. When the device needs to be turned on, pressing button 31 will cause the printed circuit board 23 to control the light to illuminate. In other words, the light is a signal light to indicate whether the auxiliary treatment device is turned on. The outer side of the main unit cover 1 has a mounting groove into which the decorative ring 32 can be snapped. At this time, button 31 is exposed on the outside of the device for easy pressing. The shapes of button 31 and decorative ring 32 are compatible. Furthermore, the decorative ring 32 is made of transparent material, allowing it to be seen when the light is on.

[0036] Preferably, the lamp is an LED lamp.

[0037] like Figure 1-3As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the first electrode assembly 4 includes: a first main body 41, a first electrode assembly 42, and a first lateral ear electrode assembly 43. The first main body 41 is a flexible arc-shaped cover and is disposed on one side of the main unit cover 1. The first electrode assembly 42 is disposed inside the first main body 41 and is used to contact and stimulate a test area of ​​the penis. The first lateral ear electrode assembly 43 is elongated, with one end connected to the first main body 41 and the other end suspended, the suspended part contacting and stimulating a test area of ​​the glans penis.

[0038] Specifically, the first ear electrode assembly 43 is inserted into the first main body 41 and extends outward along the length of the first main body 41. The first main body 41 is fixed to the first electrode assembly 42 by magnetic attraction and achieves electrical connection. This structure makes the installation and removal of the first electrode assembly 42 more convenient, while ensuring connection stability. The shape of the first main body 41 is similar to that of the main unit cover 1. The first main body 41 and the main unit cover 1 are in direct contact with the penis body and are made of wrap-around soft silicone material, which has good elasticity and deformability, and can form a flexible wrap-around structure for the test area of ​​the penis body. Through the above-mentioned wrap-around structure design, it can maintain continuous fit with human skin when worn and undergo elastic deformation with changes in local body shape, thereby avoiding local pressure or discomfort caused by rigid structure.

[0039] Preferably, one of the test sites on the penile body is the dorsal region of the penis.

[0040] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the first electrode assembly 42 includes a first electrode 421 and a first silicone wire assembly 422. The first electrode 421 is a flexible arc-shaped component and is adsorbed onto a first silicone magnetic buckle 4221. The first silicone wire assembly 422 includes a first silicone magnetic buckle 4221 and a first silicone wire 4222. The first silicone magnetic buckle 4222 is magnetically attracted to the first main body 41, and one end of the first silicone wire 4222 is electrically connected to the first silicone magnetic buckle 4221, while the other end is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 23. The first silicone wire 4222 is a flexible and retractable wire.

[0041] Specifically, the first electrode 421 is a flexible, arc-shaped component; therefore, it can be a flexible, deformable structure. For example, its shape is preferably an arc. Alternatively, the first electrode 421 can be a prefabricated structure with a flexible curved surface. The first electrode 421 is designed to fit snugly against the penis, possessing elastic expansion properties, and can exert a moderate clamping force on the penis during wear, thereby improving wearing stability. After wearing, the first electrode 421 can be adjusted in multiple angular directions, and the first silicone magnetic buckle 4221, which is magnetically connected to it, also moves accordingly to adapt to the different penile sizes and shapes of men. Under the constraints of the wrap-around structure and the human body surface, the first electrode 421, when worn, can form a snug fit with the penile surface that matches the curvature of the human body, thereby increasing the effective contact area between the first electrode 421 and the skin, reducing contact resistance, and improving the conduction conditions of the electrical stimulation signal. The first silicone wire 4222 is a flexible, stretchable wire so that it will not break due to the movement of the first electrode 421.

[0042] Preferably, the first electrode 421 can be a replaceable consumable electrode or a non-consumable electrode. The replaceable consumable electrode can be a gel electrode, hydrogel electrode, disposable adhesive electrode, or composite conductive gel electrode. The non-consumable electrode can be a conductive silicone electrode, a flexible conductive rubber electrode, a pre-formed curved metal electrode, a flexible substrate electrode with a conductive coating, or an electrode structure integrally formed with the device body. When the auxiliary treatment device uses a replaceable consumable electrode as the electrical stimulation electrode in contact with the human body, the electrical stimulation signal is generated by the printed circuit board 23 and output to the first silicone magnetic buckle 4221 via the first silicone wire 4222, allowing the electrical stimulation signal to be conducted to the first electrode 421, which is magnetically connected to the first silicone magnetic buckle 4221. When worn, the first electrode 421 adheres to the human skin, thus forming a complete electrical stimulation signal transmission link from the printed circuit board 23, the first silicone wire 4222, the first silicone magnetic buckle 4221, the first electrode 421 to the human body. This structure facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the first electrode 421 while ensuring the stability of the electrical connection. When the auxiliary therapeutic device uses non-consumable electrodes as the electrical stimulation electrodes that contact the human body, the electrical stimulation signal is also generated by the printed circuit board 23 and output to the first electrode 421 via the first silicone wire 4222. Because the first silicone magnetic clasp 4221 is not used in this case, one end of the first silicone wire 4222 is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 23, and the other end is directly electrically connected to the first electrode 421. When worn, the first electrode 421 adheres to the human skin, allowing the electrical stimulation signal to be directly conducted to the human body via the first silicone wire 4222 and the first electrode 421. This structure reduces intermediate connecting components and is suitable for implementations where the electrode and the device body are integrated. Regardless of whether the electrode is a replaceable consumable, it is used to form an adhesive contact with the human body and conduct the electrical stimulation signal generated by the printed circuit board 23. The above embodiments are merely examples and do not constitute a limitation on the specific form of the electrode.

[0043] like Figure 1-3As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the first ear electrode assembly 43 includes a first silicone ear 431, a first ear silicone wire assembly 432, and a first ear electrode 433. The first silicone ear 431 includes a first ear body 4311 and a first ear connecting rod 4312, wherein one end of the first ear connecting rod 4312 is connected to the first ear body 4311, and the other end is connected to the first body 4311. The first ear body 4311 is a flexible arc-shaped component. The first ear silicone wire assembly 432 includes a first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321 and a first ear silicone wire 4322, wherein the first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321 is magnetically attracted to the first ear body 4311, one end of the first ear silicone wire 4322 is electrically connected to the first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321, and the other end is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 23. The first ear silicone wire 4322 is a flexible and retractable wire. The first ear electrode 433 is a flexible arc-shaped component and is attached to the first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321.

[0044] Specifically, the main body 4311 of the first ear is a flexible arc-shaped component. Its size is larger than that of the first ear electrode 433 and the first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321. The first ear electrode 433 is also a flexible arc-shaped component; therefore, the first ear electrode 433 can be a flexible and deformable structure. For example, its shape is preferably an arc. In addition, the first ear electrode 433 can also be a prefabricated structure with a flexible curved surface. The first ear electrode 433 is used to fit the glans penis and has the physical property of elastic expansion. When worn, it can form a moderate clamping force on the glans penis, thereby improving wearing stability. After the first ear electrode 433 is worn, it can be adjusted in multiple angle directions. Similarly, the first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321, which is magnetically connected to it, also moves accordingly to adapt to the differences in the size and shape of the glans penis of different men. Under the constraints of the enveloping structure and the human body surface, the first ear electrode 433, when worn, can form a conformal attachment to the glans penis surface that matches the curvature of the human body, thereby increasing the effective contact area between the first ear electrode 433 and the skin, reducing contact resistance, and improving the conduction conditions of the electrical stimulation signal. The first ear silicone wire 4322 is a flexible and stretchable wire so that it will not break due to the movement of the first ear electrode 433. The first ear connecting rod 4312 can support the first ear body 4311. The first ear silicone wire 4322 is routed along the first ear connecting rod 4312. The first ear body 4311 has a hole, and the first ear connecting rod 4312 is connected to the hole, so that the first ear silicone wire 4322 passes through the hole and connects to the printed circuit board 23.

[0045] Preferably, the first ear electrode 433 can be a replaceable consumable electrode or a non-consumable electrode. The replaceable consumable electrode can be a gel electrode, hydrogel electrode, disposable adhesive electrode, or composite conductive gel electrode. The non-consumable electrode can be a conductive silicone electrode, a flexible conductive rubber electrode, a pre-formed curved metal electrode, a flexible substrate electrode with a conductive coating, or an electrode structure integrally formed with the device body. When the auxiliary treatment device uses a replaceable consumable electrode as the electrical stimulation electrode in contact with the human body, the electrical stimulation signal is generated by the printed circuit board 23, output via the first ear silicone wire 4322 to the first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321, so that the electrical stimulation signal is conducted to the first ear electrode 433, which is magnetically connected to the first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321. When worn, the first ear electrode 433 adheres to the human skin, thus forming a complete electrical stimulation signal transmission chain from the printed circuit board 23, the first ear silicone wire 4322, the first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321, the first ear electrode 433 to the human body. This structure facilitates the removal and replacement of the first ear electrode 433 while ensuring the stability of the electrical connection. When the auxiliary treatment device uses non-consumable electrodes as the electrical stimulation electrodes that contact the human body, the electrical stimulation signal is also generated by the printed circuit board 23 and output to the first ear electrode 433 via the first ear silicone wire 4322. Because the first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321 is not used in this case, one end of the first ear silicone wire 4322 is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 23, and the other end is directly connected to the first ear electrode 433. When worn, the first ear electrode 433 adheres to the human skin, allowing the electrical stimulation signal to be directly conducted to the human body via the first ear silicone wire 4322 and the first ear electrode 433. This structure reduces intermediate connecting parts and is suitable for implementations where the electrode and the device body are integrated. Regardless of whether the electrode is a replaceable consumable, it is used to form an adhesive contact with the human body and conduct the electrical stimulation signal generated by the printed circuit board 23. The above embodiments are merely examples and do not constitute a limitation on the specific form of the electrode.

[0046] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the second electrode assembly 5 includes: a second main body 51, a second electrode assembly 52, and a second ear electrode assembly 53.

The second electrode assembly 52 is disposed within the second main body 51 and is used to contact and stimulate another test area of ​​the penis. The second electrode assembly 52 is elongated, with one end connected to the second main body 51 and the other end suspended, the suspended portion contacting and stimulating another test area of ​​the glans penis.

[0047] Specifically, the second electrode assembly 5 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first electrode assembly 4 on the main body assembly 2. The components of the second electrode assembly 5, namely the second main body part 51, the second electrode assembly 52, and the second ear electrode assembly 53, are similar in structure and function to the components of the first electrode assembly 4, namely the first main body part 41, the first electrode assembly 42, and the first ear electrode assembly 43, and will not be described in detail here.

[0048] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the second electrode assembly 52 includes a second silicone wire assembly 522 and a second electrode 521. The second silicone wire assembly 522 includes a second silicone magnetic snap 5221 and a second silicone wire 5222. The second silicone magnetic snap 5221 is magnetically attracted to the second main body 51, and one end of the second silicone wire 5222 is electrically connected to the second silicone magnetic snap 5221, and the other end is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 23. The second silicone wire 5222 is a flexible and stretchable wire; the second electrode 521 is a flexible arc-shaped component and is attracted to the second silicone magnetic snap 5221.

[0049] Specifically, the second electrode assembly 52 is similar in structure and function to the first electrode assembly 42. The components included in the second electrode assembly 52, namely the second silicone wire assembly 522 and the second electrode 521, are also similar in structure and function to the components included in the first electrode assembly 42, namely the first electrode 421 and the first silicone wire assembly 422, and will not be described again here.

[0050] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this application, the second ear electrode assembly 53 includes: a second silicone ear 531, a second ear silicone wire assembly 532, and a second ear electrode 533. The second silicone earpiece 531 includes: a second earpiece main body 5311 and a second earpiece connecting rod 5312, wherein one end of the second earpiece connecting rod 5312 is connected to the second earpiece main body 5311 and the other end is connected to the second earpiece main body 5311, and the second earpiece main body 5311 is a flexible arc-shaped component; the second earpiece silicone wire assembly 532 includes a second earpiece silicone magnetic buckle 5321 and a second earpiece silicone wire 5322, wherein the second earpiece silicone magnetic buckle 5321 is magnetically attracted to the second earpiece main body 5311, one end of the second earpiece silicone wire 5322 is electrically connected to the second earpiece silicone magnetic buckle 5321 and the other end is electrically connected to the printed circuit board 23, and the second earpiece silicone wire 5322 is a flexible and retractable wire; the second earpiece electrode 533 is a flexible arc-shaped component and is attracted to the second earpiece silicone magnetic buckle 5321.

[0051] Specifically, the second ear electrode assembly 53 is structurally and functionally similar to the first ear electrode assembly 43. The second ear electrode assembly 53, including the second silicone ear 531, the second ear silicone wire assembly 532, and the second ear electrode 533, is structurally and functionally similar to the first silicone ear 431, the first ear silicone wire assembly 432, and the first ear electrode 433 included in the first ear electrode assembly 43, and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] The assistive therapy device for improving male sexual function disclosed in this application is based on the stimulation stability of an adjustable, elastically symmetrical first electrode 421 and a second electrode 521. The first electrode 421 and the second electrode 521 are symmetrically arranged and possess elastic expansion characteristics. When worn, the first electrode 421 and the second electrode 521 can form a moderate clamping force on the penis, stably fixing the electrodes to the dorsal region of the penis. Because this clamping structure can automatically adapt to differences in penile size among different users, the electrodes are less prone to axial or radial displacement during use, thus ensuring that the electrodes remain within the intended stimulation area. This results in more stable contact between the electrodes and the dorsal nerve pathway of the penis; the electrical stimulation signal can continuously and effectively act on the target nerve area; and the coverage and repetitive consistency of dorsal nerve stimulation of the penis are effectively improved.

[0053] The assistive therapeutic device for improving male sexual function disclosed in this application is based on the use of a wraparound soft silicone material for the electrode carrier, gel electrodes, and uniform stimulation from the arc-shaped contact surface. The electrode carrier includes a first main body 41, a first silicone magnetic buckle 4221, a first silicone wire 4222, a first silicone side ear 431, a first side ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321, and a first side ear silicone wire 4322. The electrode carrier also includes a second main body 51, a second silicone magnetic buckle 5221, a second silicone wire 5222, a second silicone side ear 531, a second side ear silicone magnetic buckle 5321, and a second side ear silicone wire 5322. The electrode carrier uses a wraparound soft silicone material, which can flexibly cover at least a portion of the penis, allowing the device to maintain a continuous and stable fit with the penile surface when worn. The first electrode 421, the first side ear electrode 433, the second electrode 521, and the second side ear electrode 533 are all replaceable consumable electrodes, such as gel electrodes. It connects to the first main body 41, the first side ear main body 4311, the second main body 51, and the second side ear main body 5311 via adsorption, maintaining full contact with the skin under the elastic constraint of the soft silicone. The connection contact surface between the electrode and the penile surface adopts an arc-shaped structure design to adapt to the curvature changes of the penile surface. This results in a larger effective contact area between the electrode and the skin; a more uniform distribution of contact pressure; and a significant reduction in local contact impedance differences, thereby optimizing the conduction conditions of the electrical stimulation signal. This achieves: effectively reducing local current concentration and avoiding the generation of stimulation hotspots; reducing stinging or burning sensations caused by poor contact; improving the uniformity and stability of electrical stimulation distribution in the dorsal nerve pathway area of ​​the penis; ensuring that stimulation is not limited to a single contact point but forms a continuous or semi-continuous coverage along the dorsal side of the penis, thereby improving the stimulation coverage of the dorsal nerve of the penis; and maintaining the consistency of the stimulation area in multiple uses or different wearing states, which is conducive to obtaining a stable and repeatable stimulation effect.

[0054] The assistive therapy device for improving male sexual function in this application is based on the reliability of connection and ease of maintenance of a magnetic electrode connection structure. Both the first main body 41 and the second main body 51 are magnetically attached to the first silicone magnetic buckle 4221 or the second silicone magnetic buckle 5221, and then electrically connected to the first electrode 421 or the second electrode 521. Similarly, both the first ear main body 4311 and the second ear main body 5311 are magnetically attached to the first ear silicone magnetic buckle 4321 or the second ear silicone magnetic buckle 5321, and then electrically connected to the first ear electrode 433 or the second ear electrode 533. This magnetic structure provides a stable mechanical connection while ensuring a reliable electrical signal conduction path between the electrode and the wire. Based on these structural features: the electrodes are less prone to contact interruption due to pulling or displacement during use; they facilitate quick disassembly and replacement; and while ensuring reliable electrical connection, it improves the convenience of maintenance and use.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a control system for improving male sexual function. The control system is configured to control the aforementioned auxiliary treatment device, and includes: a control module 61, a display module 62, an adjustment module 63, a power supply module 64, and a constant current stimulation module 65. The control module 61 stores stimulation parameters and stimulation strategies. The stimulation parameters include waveform type, frequency, pulse width, and stimulation intensity. The stimulation strategies include the number and sequence of activation of the first electrode 421, the first lateral ear electrode 433, the second electrode 521, and the second lateral ear electrode 533. The display module 62 is configured to display the stimulation parameters and stimulation strategies fed back by the control module 61. The adjustment module 63 is configured to output adjustment commands to the control module 61 to adjust the stimulation parameters and the stimulation strategies. The power supply module 64 is configured to receive control commands from the control module 61 to control the charging and discharging of the power supply 22. The constant current stimulation module 65 is configured to receive the stimulation parameters and stimulation strategies from the control module 61 and control the operation of the first electrode 421, the first lateral ear electrode 433, the second electrode 521, and the second lateral ear electrode 533 in a constant current manner.

[0056] Specifically, the control module 61, power supply module 64, and constant current stimulation module 65 can be housed within the printed circuit board 23. The display module 62 and adjustment module 63 can be housed on a mobile device, such as an app on a mobile phone. The control module 61 is communicatively connected to the display module 62 and the adjustment module 63. The control module 61 is electrically connected to the power supply module 64 and the constant current stimulation module 65. The power supply module 64 is electrically connected to the constant current stimulation module 65. The control module 61 can pre-store stimulation parameters and stimulation strategies. It can control the charging and discharging of the power supply module 64 and control the constant current stimulation module 65 to output the corresponding stimulation parameters and stimulation strategies to the first electrode 421, the first lateral ear electrode 433, the second electrode 521, and the second lateral ear electrode 533 after receiving the current signal from the power supply module 64. Thus, the first electrode 421, the first lateral ear electrode 433, the second electrode 521, and the second lateral ear electrode 533 output stimulation parameters according to the stimulation strategy. The power supply module 64 can supply power to the power supply module 64 and the constant current stimulation module 65. The display module 62 can display the stimulation parameters and stimulation strategies output by the control module 61. When it is necessary to adjust the stimulation parameters and stimulation strategies stored in the control module 61, manual adjustment can be performed through the adjustment module 63.

[0057] The power supply module 64 can employ a high-energy-density lithium battery and power management circuitry to provide stable voltage and current support for the constant current stimulation module 65 and control module 61, while also considering energy efficiency management to optimize battery life. The control module 61, composed of a microcontroller or system-on-a-chip, is responsible for generating stimulation parameters, signal modulation, and interaction with the external app, supporting the configuration and mode invocation of various waveform parameters. The constant current stimulation module 65, based on a closed-loop current control circuit, achieves constant stimulation with output current independent of load impedance, enabling stable stimulation of skin / soft tissue interfaces with fluctuating impedance. The control module 61 communicates with the mobile app using a low-power wireless protocol, employing BLE or Wi-Fi for data transmission and parameter adjustment. Through a low-power communication protocol, the control module 61 and the mobile app work together to: set parameters, invoke preset schemes; monitor stimulation progress, output status, and safety prompts in real time; and record stimulation history and user feedback data for personalized training scheme optimization.

[0058] The power management circuit includes circuits for electrode switch driving, protection isolation, short circuit / open circuit detection, and transient suppression, ensuring safe electrode conduction and providing overcurrent and overvoltage protection.

[0059] The control module 61 can output adjustable stimulation parameters: waveform type, frequency, pulse width, and stimulation intensity. The waveform type includes different electrical stimulation patterns such as square waves, sine waves, and triangular waves to meet the needs of different neural response characteristics or user training strategies. The frequency uses an adjustable mid-to-high frequency output, typically set in the range of 1Hz to 200kHz or higher. The low-frequency range (approximately 1–200Hz) is often used to activate repetitive responses in peripheral nerve fibers; higher frequencies (e.g., greater than or equal to 1kHz) are used for neural modulation and blocking effects. The pulse width can be adjusted according to the target tissue and treatment purpose, typically set in the range of 1μs to 5ms to cover the needs from rapid fiber activation to wide-pulse cumulative stimulation. The stimulation intensity can be adjusted within a certain current range, such as 0.5mA to 20mA or an equivalent voltage range, to adapt to different skin / soft tissue impedance conditions. The stimulation strategy of the control module 61 includes the number and sequence of activation of the first electrode, the first lateral ear electrode, the second electrode, and the second lateral ear electrode. This stimulation strategy includes a multi-mode stimulation strategy. For example, there are several stimulation modes: Simultaneous stimulation mode: All electrode pairs activate the same stimulation parameter scheme, outputting synchronously to improve overall stimulation coverage. Alternating stimulation mode: The first electrode and the first lateral ear electrode alternate pulse output with the second electrode and the second lateral ear electrode in a predetermined sequence to avoid local fatigue or improve reflex pathway activation. Single electrode pair stimulation mode: Users can choose to activate only one pair of electrodes for local stimulation. These modes can be quickly switched according to the user's training goals, stimulation feedback, and APP settings.

[0060] The control system for improving male sexual function described in this application can save multiple sets of stimulation parameter schemes, which users can switch as needed; it monitors the stimulation current, voltage, and electrode contact status in real time. If an abnormal impedance change is detected, the control unit can automatically adjust the output or issue a prompt; it adopts feedback regulation to keep the stimulation output current stable when the electrode / skin impedance changes, avoiding fluctuations in stimulation intensity due to changes in contact status; and it has automatic protection mechanisms for overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuit, and open circuit.

[0061] The control system for improving male sexual function described in this application features multi-waveform stimulation output and mid-to-high frequency coverage. This allows the device to output various waveforms such as square waves, sine waves, and triangle waves, covering stimulation parameters from mid-frequency to higher frequencies. This flexible waveform and frequency configuration improves the adaptability of stimulation and training strategies and expands the research scope, facilitating parameter optimization for different neural response mechanisms. The control system for improving male sexual function disclosed in this application allows for full parameter control of adjustable frequency, pulse width, and amplitude. It covers a range of commonly used stimulation parameters (frequency approximately 1Hz to 200kHz, pulse width approximately 1μs to 5ms, and intensity range 0.5mA to 20mA), enabling the device to perform fine-grained adjustments based on different user electrode contact conditions and treatment needs, thereby improving the consistency and individualized adaptation of stimulation effects.

[0062] The control system for improving male sexual function in this application can improve the stability of stimulation by providing constant current output. It ensures that the preset current output can still be maintained even when the contact impedance fluctuates or the electrode attachment state changes. This avoids the output instability caused by impedance changes in traditional voltage-driven methods, thereby significantly improving the controllability and repeatability of stimulation.
