Description

Technical Field

[0002] People nowadays are under tremendous pressure in life. They are exhausted physically and mentally due to hard work, and their sleep quality is not high. If this continues for a long time, the body will be in a sub-healthy state. Therefore, sleep monitors came into being.

[0003] Current sleep monitors mainly achieve sleep-aiding effects through low-frequency electromagnetic stimulation and digital frequency synthesis of bio-waves, and are mainly head-mounted and hand-held types. Among them, the head-mounted type has relatively better effects, but is inconvenient to use, while the hand-held type has relatively poor effects, but is easy to use. The main reason why head-mounted sleep monitors are inconvenient to use is that most existing sleep monitors are fixed to the head in the form of binding, and the electrodes are pressed onto specific parts of the brain. In this form, the electrodes are difficult to align and easy to misplace due to the influence of the binding. Body movements during sleep have a greater impact on the wearing effect of the head-mounted sleep monitor, which can easily cause changes in the position of the electrodes. After wearing the sleep monitor, there are high requirements for body posture, which will lead to uncomfortable sleeping, negative effects and side effects, and affect the effectiveness of the sleep monitor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] To more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the present invention and the technical solutions in the prior art, the following describes specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the drawings described below are merely examples of the present invention. A person skilled in the art can, without inventive effort, derive other drawings and other embodiments from these drawings. Furthermore, design orientations only represent relative positional relationships between components, not absolute positional relationships.

[0026] The present invention provides a micro-current sleep instrument electrode pasting structure. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5It mainly includes a flexible substrate 1, a lining electrode 2 and an attachment layer 3. The attachment layer 3 encapsulates the lining electrode 2 on the back side of the substrate 1, so that the lining electrode 2 is attached to the skin surface through the attachment layer 3; the lining electrode 2 is conductively connected to the attachment layer 3, and the lining electrode 2 is provided with a lead-out electrode 5 that penetrates the substrate 1 toward the front side of the substrate 1, so that the lead-out electrode 5 is conductively connected to the external device on the front side of the substrate 1.

[0027] The backing electrodes 2 are divided into positive and negative electrodes, forming the outwardly extending positive and negative electrodes, i.e., lead electrodes 5. The attachment layer 3 is divided into positive and negative attachment areas, corresponding to the positive and negative electrodes, respectively. When the attachment layer 3 is attached to the skin surface (e.g., the brain), a circuit is formed, stimulating nerve fibers with low-frequency microcurrent, releasing serotonin, synthesizing melatonin, and releasing endorphins, thereby increasing deep sleep duration and ensuring sleep quality. The attachment location is preferably the forehead.

[0028] Based on the attachment position, the flexible base 1 of the present application can have a corresponding structure to facilitate better attachment to the skin surface and ensure the stability of the external device; when attached, it can be attached to the center of the forehead to reduce the impact of sleeping posture on the external device.

[0029] In a specific embodiment, the base 1 is a symmetrical airfoil structure as a whole, and the rear middle portion of the base 1 bulges downward and gradually transitions smoothly to both sides, so that the width of the middle portion of the base 1 is greater than the width of the two sides. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the front of the base 1 is a nearly horizontal streamlined structure with arc-shaped ends. The back convexly projects downwards in the middle, gradually decreasing in height and eventually merging smoothly with the arc-shaped structures on both sides. During application, the slender sides and wider center effectively adapt to the forehead, maximizing the available attachment area and ensuring stable application.

[0030] It is understandable that the basic posture of the lining electrode 2 and the attachment layer 3 after installation is similar to the shape of the substrate 1, such as Figure 5 As shown in .

[0031] Of course, the base 1 can also be designed to be attached in other shapes. When changing the attachment position and the attachment object, adjustments can be made according to actual conditions.

[0032] In the embodiments of the present application, the lining electrode 2 is partitioned. An isolation region 11 can be provided on the back side of the substrate 1, dividing the lining electrode 2 into two polarities, each of which is provided in an embedded manner. Specifically, the attachment layer 3 is attached to both sides of the isolation region 11, electrically connecting to the lining electrode 2 on either side of the isolation region 11. Simultaneously, the lining electrode 2 is extended to the front side of the substrate 1, where it is electrically connected to an external device. It is understood that the external device can be a sleep monitor or other optional equipment, devices, structures, etc. This application uses a sleep monitor as an example for explanation.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, an isolation region 11 is provided in the middle of the back side of the substrate 1, and the substrate electrodes 2 are provided on both sides of the isolation region 11. The isolation region 11 is located at the central axis of the substrate 1, and its two wings are symmetrical with respect to the isolation region 11.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the isolation region 11 vertically extends from the front side of the substrate 1 to the back side of the substrate 1 , dividing the substrate 1 into two symmetrical areas.

[0035] For example, the two sections can be divided into a left section and a right section, which correspond to the two poles of the substrate electrode 2. Specifically, the substrate electrode 2 includes a first electrode region 21 and a second electrode region 22. The first electrode region 21 is located in the left section of the isolation region 11, and the second electrode region 22 is located in the right section of the isolation region 11.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the lining electrode 2 can be led out based on its own structure when the electrode is externalized, but in order to reduce the thickness of the joint, the sheet structure can be attached to the external lead, and an exposed electrode is provided on the substrate 1, and the exposed electrode is connected to the sheet structure for conduction.

[0037] In order to facilitate the synchronous docking of the two poles, the position of the external electrode can be selected based on the isolation area 11. For example, the first electrode area 21 is provided with a first external electrode piece 211 near the isolation area 11, and the second electrode area 22 is provided with a second external electrode piece 221 near the isolation area 11. The lead-out electrode 5 can be connected to the substrate electrode 2 through the first external electrode piece 211 and the second external electrode piece 221.

[0038] Correspondingly, the first external electrode piece 211 and the second external electrode piece 221 are both provided between the substrate electrode 2 and the substrate 1 , so as to facilitate direct connection and conduction between the lead-out electrode 5 and the external electrode pieces.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the lead-out electrode 5 includes a first electrode 51 and a second electrode 52, and lead-out through holes are opened on the substrate 1 corresponding to the first external electrode piece 211 and the second external electrode piece 221, so that the first electrode 51 is conductively connected to the first external electrode piece 211, and the second electrode 52 is conductively connected to the second external electrode piece 221, and the lead-out electrode 5 is exposed on the front side of the substrate 1.

[0040] Exemplarily, the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 are respectively placed in the lead-out through-holes. The first electrode 51 is placed in the lead-out through-hole corresponding to the first external electrode piece 211 , and the second electrode 52 is placed in the lead-out through-hole corresponding to the second external electrode piece 221 .

[0041] As a feasible embodiment, the lead electrode 5 is welded to the external electrode sheet to provide electrical continuity between the two. For example, the external electrode sheet can be made of silver paste, which is used to fill the vias and form and secure them, providing electrical continuity between the lead electrode 5 and the substrate electrode 2. The silver paste can even be filled onto the inner side of the attachment layer 3 to provide electrical continuity therewith. As a preferred embodiment, a conductive gasket can be used to provide electrical continuity between the two, making them removable.

[0042] The electrodes are exposed on the front side of the base 1 and can be directly connected to the sleep monitor. The sleep monitor can be fixedly installed on the front side of the base 1. Of course, the connection between the output electrode of the sleep monitor and the lead-out electrode 5 should also be ensured to be stable.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, a fixing layer 4 can be provided on the front side of the substrate 1 , and the fixing layer 4 can be provided around the lead-out electrode 5 . When the sleep monitor is fixedly mounted on the fixing layer 4 , the electrodes can be simultaneously connected and docked.

[0044] For example, a fixing layer 4 is provided on the front side of the substrate 1. The fixing layer 4 is used to bond or fix an external device. Specifically, the fixing layer 4 can be a double-sided adhesive tape. As a preferred embodiment, the fixing layer 4 at least surrounds the lead-out electrode 5. Figure 4 As shown in , of course, the fixing layer 4 can also be divided into multiple layers, surrounding the first electrode 51 and the second electrode 52 respectively; when fixing the sleep monitor, it is sufficient to align the electrodes.

[0045] It is understandable that the distance between the two electrodes of the lead-out electrode 5 should match the distance between the output electrodes of the sleep monitor so as to quickly achieve conduction and docking.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, the backing electrode 2 can be a conductive silver paste, such as silver chloride paste, and can have a regular mesh structure, preferably a regular polygonal structure, such as a honeycomb structure. The attachment layer 3 can be a carbon film or a carbon film composite material, or other conductive flexible material. Of course, the attachment layer 3 must be able to adhere to the skin to achieve the purpose of attaching or adhering the electrode. At the very least, it should be able to bear the weight of the sleep monitor and not easily fall off or detach.

[0047] For the mesh-structured liner electrode 2 , the first external electrode piece 211 and the second external electrode piece 221 each cover at least one of the polygonal structures; the first external electrode piece 211 and the second external electrode piece 221 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the isolation region 11 and located in the middle of the substrate 1 .

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the attachment layer 3 includes a first conductive area 31 and a second conductive area 32. The first conductive area 31 is connected to the first electrode area 21 and covers the entire left area of ​​the isolation area 11. The second conductive area 32 is connected to the second electrode area 22 and covers the entire right area of ​​the isolation area 11.

[0049] After the attachment layer 3 is assembled on the base 1 , when the base 1 is horizontally unfolded, the surface of the attachment layer 3 can be flush with the isolation area 11 .

[0050] As a feasible embodiment, the setting of the external electrode can be of a penetrating nature, that is, the external electrode penetrates the mesh-structured lining electrode 2, the inner side of the external electrode is connected to the lead-out electrode 5, and the outer side is connected to the attachment layer 3; in this case, a fixing effect can be generated simultaneously, and the lead-out electrode 5, the lining electrode 2, and the attachment layer 3 are connected and fixed in sequence through the external electrode. The external electrode can be composed of conductive hot-melt tin, silver paste material or other conductive metals, composite materials, etc.

[0051] When the liner electrode 2 is packaged through the attachment layer 3, the attachment layer 3 can be fixed to the substrate 1 through the mesh; at the edge of the substrate 1, the size of the liner electrode 2 can be slightly smaller so that the attachment layer 3 can completely cover it and cooperate with the substrate 1 for encapsulation.

[0052] In the embodiment of the present application, a first coating 12 may be provided on the outer side of the attachment layer 3 and the outer side of the substrate 1, and an outer opening ear may be provided, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, due to the presence of the lead-out electrode 5 on the outside of the base 1, the first covering film 12 needs to be uncovered when docking the sleep monitor, which is not conducive to the protection of the outer side of the base 1 and the normal use of the fixing layer 4. On this basis, the first covering film 12 on the outside of the base 1 can be opened, and the area covered by the corresponding fixing layer 4 can be opened. The hole can match the edge of the fixing layer 4 and can be used normally without uncovering the first covering film 12. For the hole, a second covering film 41 can be provided, which is dedicated to the protection of this area. When in use, only the second covering film 41 needs to be uncovered, and there is no need to uncover the first covering film 12 on the outside of the base 1. Of course, the first covering film 12 on the outside of the attachment layer 3 also needs to be uncovered when in use.

[0053] It should be noted that the attachment layer 3 and the backing electrode 2 may also include other conductive structures and fixing structures that may be needed, such as a conductive film placed between the attachment layer 3 and the backing electrode 2, eye glue to fix the two, gel for attaching to the skin, etc., wherein the gel is in contact with the skin to conduct the current of the electrode to the human body, play a stimulating role, and ultimately achieve effects such as helping sleep.

[0054] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc., are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply the existence of any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the statement "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or device comprising the element.

[0055] The above content is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, and the specific embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all of these should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
