Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of massage and physiotherapy equipment, and specifically relates to a multi-sensor fusion physiotherapy massage head. Background Art

[0002] Physiotherapy is a method that uses artificial or natural physical factors to act on the human body, causing beneficial reactions to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. It is an important part of rehabilitation treatment. For the vast skin physiotherapy needs in the clinical physiotherapy field, the existing physiotherapy methods usually involve some physiotherapy methods mastered by doctors to perform physiotherapy operations on the diseased parts of patients, causing human reactions, adjusting blood circulation, improving nutritional metabolism, enhancing immune function, regulating nervous system function, promoting tissue repair, thereby eliminating pathogenic factors, improving the pathological process, and achieving the purpose of treating diseases.

[0003] With the development of the times, the existing physiotherapy means have gradually changed from manual to a combination of manual and mechanical physiotherapy methods. Currently, the mainstream physiotherapy instruments require doctors to manipulate them in real time and manually adjust the real-time position. The entire process requires doctors to highly concentrate their attention, and it is impossible to monitor the minute changes in the patient's body position, as well as effectively respond to the sudden shaking and movement of the patient's body, resulting in poor rehabilitation physiotherapy effects. At the same time, in the existing physiotherapy equipment integrated with collaborative robots, the traditional eye-in-hand type recognition and perception method has visual occlusion, resulting in non-vertical angles of the probe, and thus it is impossible to perform targeted scientific physiotherapy.

[0004] After retrieval, the Chinese invention patent: An moxibustion physiotherapy robot (publication number: CN118163109A, publication date: June 11, 2024). This application discloses an moxibustion physiotherapy robot, including: a device main body, a robotic arm, an moxibustion physiotherapy head, and an ash cleaning mechanism. The moxibustion physiotherapy head includes: a physiotherapy head main body, a control board, a liquid collection box, an automatic ignition moxibustion box, and several detection sensor groups. The detection sensor groups are electrically connected to the control board. A control system is provided in the device main body, and the control system is electrically connected to the robotic arm and the control board respectively. The present invention can input the position where the patient needs heat therapy into the control system, identify and track the affected area through the detection sensor groups. Thus, when the patient moves, the detection sensor groups identify and track the patient's affected area, and thereby the robotic arm moves the moxibustion physiotherapy head in real time to ensure the relative position relationship between the moxibustion physiotherapy head and the affected area, ensuring that the moxibustion physiotherapy head can continuously and effectively perform heat therapy work on the patient's affected area. However, the disadvantage of this application is that it can only detect distance and temperature, and there will be errors in data collection as the device moves. Content of the Utility Model
