Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of head massage equipment, in particular to a head massage headband. Background Art

[0002] High-altitude headaches are a common acute health problem caused by the low oxygen environment in high-altitude areas. Current treatments primarily include medication and oxygen therapy. While medications such as acetazolamide and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can alleviate symptoms, they may be associated with side effects such as paresthesia and taste disturbances. Oxygen therapy is limited by the portability of the equipment and the environment in which it is used. Oxygen bottles struggle to provide a stable and appropriate oxygen concentration, making them ineffective for headaches that have already occurred. Indoor oxygen therapy equipment, due to its bulk and inconvenience, cannot meet patients' needs for treatment anytime, anywhere. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the problems of portability and ease of use of existing high altitude headache treatment equipment, the present invention provides a head massage headband.

[0015] Optionally, the massage device includes a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a microprocessor, a massage protrusion adjustment mechanism, and a user input interface;

[0016] The pressure sensor is a thin-film type, suitable for integration into the headband due to its excellent flexibility and sensitivity. The pressure sensor is located beneath the headband's massage bumps to detect contact pressure with the user's head. Data transmission is connected to a microprocessor via conductive adhesive or a flexible circuit board, enabling real-time data transmission.

[0017] Thermistors are used as temperature sensors, which are suitable for temperature monitoring due to their fast response and low cost. The temperature sensors are installed near the massage bumps and where the headband contacts the user's head. Data is transmitted via analog signals to a microprocessor, which converts the analog signals into digital signals for processing.

[0018] The microprocessor acts as the control center, processing sensor data, executing massage algorithms, and controlling the adjustment of the massage bumps. It is connected to the pressure and temperature sensors via a circuit board, and to the massage bump adjustment mechanism via control signals.

[0019] The massage bump adjustment mechanism uses a micro electric motor or pneumatic valve to control the airbag to adjust the height and pressure of the massage bump. Based on sensor data and a preset algorithm, the microprocessor controls the speed and direction of the electric motor or the opening and closing of the pneumatic valve through PWM signals.

[0020] The user input interface can be a touch screen, physical buttons, or a microphone integrated into the headband.

[0023] The micro-heating element uses a graphene heating sheet, which has excellent thermal conductivity and uniform heat distribution. The heating sheet is installed inside the headband, in the area that contacts the user's head. The control circuit adjusts the current to control the temperature of the heating sheet.

[0024] The control circuit manages the power output of the heating element to ensure that the temperature remains within the preset range. It uses a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control algorithm to automatically adjust the power of the heating element based on feedback from the temperature sensor.

[0025] The user temperature adjustment interface can be a touch screen, a physical knob, or a microphone integrated into the headband. This allows the user to set the desired heat compress temperature. The control circuit receives the user setting and, in combination with the temperature sensor data, adjusts the operating state of the heating element.

[0026] The intelligent temperature control system has a built-in safety protection mechanism that automatically cuts off the power supply to the heating element when abnormally high temperatures are detected. The headband’s built-in buzzer or LED indicator warns the user of abnormal temperature.

[0027] The intelligent temperature control system has built-in temperature feedback and learning mechanisms. The system records the user's hot compress preferences and responses. Using machine learning algorithms, it optimizes the temperature control strategy to provide a more personalized hot compress experience.

[0046] The massage device is mounted on the side of the headband body 1 that contacts the human body. The massage device includes multiple massage protrusions, which are positioned corresponding to acupuncture points on the human body. In this embodiment, the massage device is internally equipped with a pressing component 4 and a pushing and wiping component 5. The pressing component 4 is used for pressing massage, while the pushing and wiping component 5 is used for pushing and wiping massage. The pressing component 4 utilizes an airbag massager. The pushing and wiping component 5 includes multiple linear drive rails, each of which is equipped with multiple massage airbags that apply pressure sequentially according to the direction of the pressing and pushing technique. The ends of the linear drive rails are positioned corresponding to acupuncture points on the human body. Acupuncture points on the human body include Yintang, Yuyao, Taiyang, Jiaosun, Shuegu, Fengchi, and Tianzhu. Yintang is located on the forehead, between the eyebrows. Yuyao is located on the forehead, directly above the pupil, between the eyebrows, and symmetrically on both sides of the face. Taiyang is located between the tip of the eyebrow and the outer canthus, approximately one finger width back. Jiaosun is located directly above the ear tip where it meets the hairline. Shuigu acupoint is located 1.5 inches above the hairline, directly above the Jiaosun point, and directly above the Jiaosun point. Fengchi acupoint is located on the nape of the neck, below the occipital bone, level with Fengfu, in the depression between the sternocleidomastoid and upper trapezius muscles. Tianzhu acupoint is located at the back of the neck, level with the upper edge of the spinous process of the second cervical vertebra, in the depression on the outer edge of the trapezius muscle. When setting massage devices at corresponding acupoints on the headband, take half the length of the headband as d (from the lower edge of the front midline to the highest point of the give way notch and then horizontally to the back midline). The massage device corresponding to the Yintang acupoint is set in the middle of the lower edge of the headband. The massage device corresponding to the Yuyao acupoint is 0.134d away from the massage device corresponding to the Yintang acupoint in the horizontal direction. The massage device corresponding to the Taiyang acupoint is 0.194d away from the massage device corresponding to the Yuyao acupoint in the horizontal direction.

The Tianzhu acupoint is at the midpoint of the line connecting the lower edge of the back midline and the Fengchi acupoint. The massage devices corresponding to the acupoints on the left and right sides of the headband are symmetrically arranged.

[0047] Smart massage devices are located inside the headband, corresponding to acupuncture points on the human body. Each massage bump is equipped with a pressure sensor to detect contact pressure with the head. A temperature sensor is located inside the headband, adjacent to the massage bumps, to monitor the temperature of the massage area. A microprocessor, located in the center or side of the headband, serves as the control center for the smart massage device, processing sensor data and controlling the adjustment of the massage bumps. Massage bump adjustment mechanism: The massage bumps can be airbags or movable components driven by electric motors, which adjust their position and pressure according to the microprocessor's instructions.

[0048] A heating component is installed on the side of the headband body 1 that contacts the human body. In this embodiment, the heating component is a graphene heating plate 6. In some other embodiments, the heating component can also be a resistance heating wire, an infrared heating lamp, etc. Intelligent temperature control system: Heating component: such as a graphene heating plate, is located on the inside of the headband, in the area that contacts the user's head. Temperature sensor: monitors the temperature of the heating component and the user's head to ensure that the heat compress effect is within a safe range. Control circuit: manages the power output of the heating component and automatically adjusts the temperature based on user settings and feedback from the temperature sensor. Safety protection mechanism: includes overheating protection and temperature abnormality alarm to ensure user safety. For easy wearing, a pair of clearance notches 7 are provided on the headband body 1, and the clearance notches 7 are suitable for installation in conjunction with the ears. To facilitate user independent control, a user input interface electrically connected to the heating component and the massage device is also provided: it can be a touch control panel or button, located on the outside of the headband for user convenience. This embodiment provides a head massage headband that can prevent and treat high altitude headaches. This headband stimulates acupuncture points on the head, adjusting the stimulation effect using varying frequencies and intensities. The massage targets multiple acupoints, including Yintang, Yuyao, Taiyang, Shugu, Jiaosun, Fengchi, and Tianzhu, located in the forehead, temporal, and occipital regions. This head massage headband can effectively prevent and treat high altitude headaches anytime, anywhere. This non-drug treatment reduces medication use and the risk of side effects. The headband is easy to use and can be worn and used by patients at any time, making it convenient and effective.

[0049] In traditional Chinese medicine, acupoint location is primarily based on the bone measurement method. This method, first described in the "Bone Measurement" chapter of the "Lingshu" (Spiritual Pivot), uses joints as primary landmarks to measure the size and length of various body parts, converting these into proportional dimensions to serve as the standard for acupoint location. This applies to all individuals, regardless of gender, age, height, or overall weight. For example, the distance from the wrist crease to the elbow crease is 12 inches, which is the distance divided into 12 equal parts. This is then used as the standard for acupoint location. Therefore, while the relative distribution of acupoints may vary between individuals, their distribution is fixed according to the body's proportions. Based on this principle, we designed the proportional placement of the acupoints on the elastic headband.

[0050] Acupoints are clinically based and combined with massage techniques. A set of pushing and wiping components 5 are respectively set between the Yintang acupoint and the hairline, between the two Yuyao acupoints and the corresponding hairlines, and between the Yintang acupoint and the two temples. Air bags or movable balls driven by electric motors are used to move between the acupoints to simulate massage techniques. Figure 3 As shown, the forehead is primarily massaged with a wiping technique, using inflated airbags or massage beads to apply vertically upwards from the Yintang acupoint to the hairline, then upwards from the Yuyao acupoint to the front hairline, and then horizontally from the Yintang acupoint to the Taiyang acupoint. This three-step process is repeated 15 times. A combined massage technique is then applied five times, focusing on the Yintang, Yuyao, and Taiyang acupoints for one minute. The temples are primarily massaged with acupressure components (4). Airbags or massage rollers are positioned at the corresponding points of the Jiaosun and Luegu acupoints. Each acupoint is massaged for one minute. On the back of the head, acupressure component (4) is positioned at the corresponding point of the Fengchi acupoint for one minute. A wiping component (5) is positioned at the corresponding point of the Tianzhu acupoint, applying downwards vertical pressure. This process is repeated 15 times.

[0051] Graphene materials have high thermal conductivity and low heat loss. The far-infrared waves released by graphene are easily absorbed by the human body. During operation, the graphene heating sheet 6 dissipates heat outward through far-infrared waves. The far-infrared wavelength it releases is 8 to 15 microns. The wavelength in this band is very close to the far-infrared wavelength of the human body. Therefore, heat can be easily transferred to the deep tissues of the human body, promoting blood circulation and relieving fatigue. Five graphene heating sheets 6 are used, located on the forehead, two temporal sides, and two occipital regions. The graphene heating sheets 6 set on the forehead, temporal region and occipital region can be set to multiple temperature control settings of 40°C to 55°C.

[0052] Taking into account the shape of the head and its acupoint coverage, the headband is positioned using the ears as primary surface landmarks. Recesses 7 are provided at the corresponding ears. These recesses are in an inverted U-shape, ensuring a more snug fit. The headband is tailored to ensure a more secure fit. The headband body 1 is constructed from a double-layer silicone material, housing a massage component within and a polyester outer cover for enhanced sweat absorption and comfort. A snap-on design at the rear, combining a ring 2 with a hook 3, makes it easy to don and doff.

[0053] Hypoxia at high altitudes can cause oxidative stress, inflammation, and hemodynamic changes. To compensate for these changes, cerebral blood vessels dilate, blood flow accelerates, and cerebral perfusion pressure increases, leading to headaches. In severe cases, perfusion pressure exceeds the upper limit of cerebral autoregulation, resulting in hyperperfusion syndrome. Overperfusion of the microvascular bed leads to increased capillary hydrostatic pressure, capillary exudation, and critical conditions such as high-altitude cerebral edema. Furthermore, hypoxia-induced cerebral vasodilation or its vasodilator effectors, such as nitric oxide, activate the microvascular system, causing headaches. Headaches, in turn, trigger other symptoms such as nausea and discomfort, known as "altitude sickness." To address the neurohormonal release and hemodynamic changes caused by high altitude hypoxia, high altitude headaches are often caused by dilation of scalp blood vessels or spasms of scalp muscles. The head massage headband provided in this embodiment effectively relieves headache symptoms by using a massage device built into the headband body 1 to wrap and compress the head. This wrapping and compressing of the head can reduce vascular dilation and muscle spasms, thereby reducing the severity of headaches. Hot compress therapy using the graphene heating sheet 6 promotes blood circulation and improves local metabolism. Hot compress can increase the elasticity of local tissues, relieve muscle spasms, and promote blood circulation. This can improve blood supply to the headache area, increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients, and thus alleviate headache symptoms. Non-invasive therapy using air bags or ball bearings to apply pressure and massage is used to treat headaches. Common acupoints such as Fengchi, Lugu, Taiyang, and Jiaosun are selected for massage. These acupoints are considered to be related to headaches in traditional Chinese medicine. By massaging these acupoints and combining them with massage techniques, blood circulation can be promoted and the flow of Qi and blood in the body can be adjusted, thereby effectively alleviating headache symptoms.

[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
