It is only for the convenience of description and simplifying the operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meanings.

[0029] Refer toFigures 1-6 As shown, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a pelvic floor muscle repair device is proposed, which includes a wearing part 1, a light therapy component 3 and an electrotherapy component 2. The light therapy component 3 and the electrotherapy component 2 are both arranged on the wearing part 1, and the user wears the pelvic floor muscle repair device on the human body through the wearing part 1. The electrotherapy component 2 is arranged on the inner side of the wearing part 1. The electrotherapy component 2 includes at least two electrodes arranged at intervals and with opposite polarities. The electrodes can contact the body surface skin on the outer side of the user's pelvic floor muscle, so as to form a first electrotherapy area and a second electrotherapy area arranged at intervals on the human body. The light therapy component 3 includes a light source 32, and the light source 32 can emit specific band light rays that irradiate the perineum of the human body, so as to act on the deep muscles of the pelvic floor muscle. It should be emphasized that the electrodes of the electrotherapy component 2 are arranged to avoid the perineum, that is, the projections of the first electrotherapy area and the second electrotherapy area on the human body do not fall on the perineum. The wearing part 1 can adopt wearing structures including but not limited to underwear, one-piece underwear, etc.

[0030] The above-mentioned pelvic floor muscle repair device is worn on the human body by the wearing part 1, and can perform dual treatment on the pelvic floor muscle through the electrotherapy component 2 and the light therapy component 3, and the treatment effect is good. Among them, the electrotherapy component 2 can contact the body surface skin of the human body, stimulate the superficial muscles of the user's pelvic floor muscle to produce contraction activities, so as to repair the pelvic floor muscle, and the energy density of the light therapy component 3 is relatively high, which can act on the deep muscles of the pelvic floor muscle. Moreover, since the electrodes need to be closely attached to the body surface skin to better stimulate the muscle layer and are not easy to produce a stinging sensation, and the epidermal skin in the perineum area has many folds, the arrangement of the first electrotherapy area and the second electrotherapy area to avoid the perineum not only does not affect the repair effect of the pelvic floor muscle, but also can improve the user's experience.

[0031] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the electrotherapy component 2 includes a first electrode 21 and a second electrode 22. The first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 are arranged at intervals front and back. The first electrode 21 forms a first electrotherapy area, and the second electrode 22 forms a second electrotherapy area. The first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 have opposite polarities, and both the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 are made of sheet-like or fibrous flexible conductive materials, such as conductive fibers, conductive plastics, conductive coatings, etc. The first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 are processed on the wearing part 1 through processes including but not limited to hot pressing, sewing, printing, etc., that is, the electrotherapy component 2 and the wearing part 1 form an integral body, with high fitting performance, and can better contact the human body epidermis without obvious foreign body sensation. It can be understood that the front and back arrangement of the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 means that when the wearing part 1 is worn on the human body, the first electrode 21 is located on the front side of the human body, and the second electrode 22 is located on the rear side of the human body.

[0032] In one embodiment, in order to cover the pelvic floor muscles except the perineum as much as possible while avoiding the perineum, concave avoidance grooves are formed at one end of the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 close to each other, and the light emitted by the light therapy component 3 can pass through the avoidance grooves and irradiate on the perineum. Specifically, the width of the first electrode 21 gradually increases from the end close to the second electrode 22 to the other end, and the width of the second electrode 22 gradually increases from the end close to the first electrode 21 to the other end.

[0033] In one embodiment, the light source 32 includes a lamp board. Specifically, the lamp board further includes an FPC circuit board and LED lamp beads. The FPC circuit board is arranged in a cross shape and includes a first part arranged along the extension direction of the pelvic floor muscles and a second part arranged perpendicular to the extension direction of the pelvic floor muscles. There are two groups of LED lamp beads arranged on the FPC circuit board, and the two groups of LED lamp beads are respectively arranged on the first part and the second part. When the wearing part 1 is worn on the human body, the LED lamp beads on the second part face the vagina.

[0034] In other embodiments, the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 are arranged at intervals left and right. The same as the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 arranged at intervals front and back in the above embodiment, avoidance grooves are also provided at one end of the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 close to each other. Different from the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 arranged at intervals front and back, in order to adapt to the arrangement of the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 at intervals left and right, the LED lamp beads are arranged in a strip shape, that is, the light source 32 is arranged in a strip shape extending along the extension direction of the pelvic floor muscles.

[0035] In one embodiment, the light therapy component 3 further includes a protective shell 33. The light source 32 is arranged inside the protective shell 33, and the light emitted by the light source 32 can pass through the protective shell 33, that is, the protective shell 33 is made of a transparent material at least corresponding to the position of the light source 32. Specifically, the protective shell 33 is made of a flexible material such as flexible silica gel or flexible plastic, and the protective shell 33 is arranged in a sheet shape, which is both waterproof and soft, and can better fit the perineum and form a protection for the light source 32.

[0036] In one embodiment, the protective shell 33 is detachably arranged on the wearing part 1, so that the light therapy component 3 can be removed from the wearing part 1 when the wearing part 1 needs to be cleaned, thereby improving the service life of the light therapy component 3.

[0037] In one embodiment, in order to avoid the foreign body sensation caused by the light therapy component 3, the light therapy component 3 is arranged on the outer surface of the wearing part 1. On this basis, in order to avoid the wearing part 1 affecting the light therapy effect of the light therapy component 3, a light-transmitting hole 11 is further opened at the position of the wearing part 1 corresponding to the perineum, and the light generated by the light source 32 can directly pass through the light-transmitting hole 11 and irradiate on the perineum.

[0038] To expand the scope of use of the pelvic floor muscle repair device, the light therapy component 3 can provide multiple bands of light. For example, the light therapy component 3 can provide light in the 630 - 660 nm band. The light in this band can stimulate the mitochondria in cells. When the mitochondria are in an excited state, they will release adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nitric oxide (NO), so that there is more energy to generate collagen and repair tissues. Nitric oxide can improve blood flow and help nutrients and oxygen flow in the blood. In one embodiment, the light generated by the light therapy component 3 in this band can better penetrate the superficial muscle and act on the deep muscle, and the effect of repairing the pelvic floor muscle is the best. The light therapy component 3 can also provide light in the 400 - 415 nm band, and the light in this band has the functions of sterilization and anti - inflammation. Of course, the bands of light that the light therapy component 3 can provide are not limited to this.

[0039] Continuing to refer Figures 4-6 , the pelvic floor muscle repair device further includes a controller 4 electrically connected to the light therapy component 3 and the electrotherapy component 2. The controller 4 is independently arranged from the wearing part 1 and is connected to the light therapy component 3 through a cable 5 with a certain length, so that the controller 4 is far away from the wearing part 1. The controller 4 is used for the overall operation and communication of the entire pelvic floor muscle repair device, including but not limited to controlling the frequency, pulse width, voltage of the electrotherapy component 2, the power of the light therapy component 3, etc. Specifically, the controller 4 includes a control upper cover 41, a control lower cover 42 and a control circuit board 43. The control upper cover 41 and the control lower cover 42 are connected and enclosed to form an accommodation space by means including but not limited to screwing and clamping. The control circuit board 43 is placed in the accommodation space. At the same time, the controller 4 further includes a battery 44 electrically connected to the control circuit board 43. The battery 44 is used to supply power to the control circuit board 43, the light therapy component 3 and the electrotherapy component 2. One end of the cable 5 far away from the light therapy component 3 penetrates into the accommodation space and is connected to the control circuit board 43.

[0040] In one embodiment, the control circuit board 43 includes a timing module. The control circuit board 43 can automatically turn off the light source 32 when the irradiation time of the light therapy component 3 exceeds the preset time to prevent the human body from being burned due to too long irradiation time. Or the light therapy component 3 further includes a temperature monitoring component. The temperature monitoring component is also arranged in the protective shell 33 to monitor the temperature around the light source 32. When the temperature around the light source 32 exceeds the preset temperature, the control module turns off the light source 32. Of course, a switch for manually turning on and off the light source 32 and / or controlling the power of the light source 32 is also arranged on the controller 4, which will not be elaborated here. Specifically, in order to prevent a foreign body sensation caused by the existence of the cable 5, one end of the cable 5 penetrates into the protective shell 33 from one end of the protective shell 33 and is connected to the light source 32.

[0041] In one embodiment, the electrotherapy component 2 is electrically connected to the controller 4 by being electrically connected to the phototherapy component 3. Specifically, the electrotherapy component 2 is rigidly electrically connected to the phototherapy component 3 to avoid routing wires inside the wearing part 1 and causing a foreign body sensation. Taking the electrotherapy component 2 including a first electrode 21 and a second electrode 22 as an example, first conductive connection structures 23 are provided on both the first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22. Power input terminals and power output terminals of a lamp board serving as a light source (i.e., power input terminals and power output terminals of the phototherapy component 3) are provided with second conductive connection structures 34. The first electrode 21 and the second electrode 22 can be rigidly electrically connected to the lamp board through the mutually cooperating first conductive connection structures 23 and second conductive connection structures 34.

[0042] Based on the setting that the phototherapy component 3 is detachably connected to the wearing part 1, in one embodiment, the first conductive connection structure 23 includes a metal female buckle, the second conductive connection structure 34 includes a metal male buckle, and the first conductive connection structure 23 and the second conductive connection structure 34 are snap-connected. It can be understood that since the electrotherapy component 2 is arranged inside the wearing part 1, the first conductive connection structure 23 passes out from the inside to the outside of the wearing part 1 to be connected to the second conductive structure. In other embodiments, the first conductive connection structure 23 and the second conductive connection structure 34 can be magnetic sheets or iron sheets that can attract each other, or two magnetic sheets that can attract each other.

[0043] In addition, the electrotherapy component 2 has multiple gears, and the adjustment of different gears can be achieved through a switch on the controller 4. When the electrotherapy component 2 is in different gears, the frequency, pulse width, and voltage are all different.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly explaining the present invention and are not limitations on the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
