Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of health care equipment technology, and more specifically, to a physiotherapy heating pad with good fit. Background Technology

[0002] The function of a therapeutic heating pad is to provide heat to the injured areas of the body. The closer it fits the body, the better the therapeutic effect. Traditional heating pads are lightweight, so additional pads are needed to improve the fit. However, due to the shape and weight of the weight filling material, traditional weighted pads use single-piece modules, resulting in poor fit to the body, especially with irregularly shaped shoulder pads, which do not achieve good therapeutic effects and lead to a poor user experience. In addition, the flexible weight modules of traditional heating or therapeutic pads are usually sewn or directly inserted into the product. The weight modules use densely packed small beads to achieve a surface weighting effect, and gravity particles are also filled on the outermost layer. The sewing process is complex, costly, and results in poor weighting effect. Furthermore, the weight blocks of traditional therapeutic pads are not removable and are difficult to clean. Finally, adding weight blocks to traditional therapeutic pads usually requires many manual sewing and filling processes, which cannot be automated, leading to reduced production efficiency.

[0018] Icons: Heating pad body 1, flexible counterweight module 2, counterweight particles 21, bonding part 22. Detailed Implementation

[0019] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a physiotherapy heating pad with good fit, including a heating pad body 1 suitable for user wear, including: at least one flexible counterweight module 2, the flexible counterweight module 2 being disposed on the outside of the heating pad body 1 to improve the fit between the heating pad body and the user.

[0020] Specifically, the flexible counterweight module 2 includes a flexible bonding portion 22 and a plurality of counterweight particles 21 distributed on the bonding portion 22. The bonding portion 22 is adapted to adhere to the heating pad body 1 to form a point-like counterweight effect on the heating pad body 1, thereby improving the fit between the heating pad body 1 and the user. The counterweight particles 21 have a certain gap between them to allow each counterweight particle to form a point-like distribution of counterweight. In this embodiment, the counterweight particles 21 are made of ceramic or glass material to absorb and store heat, and to release heat after the heating pad body 1 stops heating.

[0021] Combination Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the heating pad body 1 can be made of fire-retardant cloth or other fabric materials, including but not limited to these, and existing heating pad materials can be referenced. Taking a shawl-style therapeutic heating pad as an example, the heating pad body 1 is cut into the shape of a shawl, including the back of the neck and shoulders on both sides of the back of the neck, with the front and back ends of the shoulders hanging down to the user's back and chest area. Heating wires or graphene or other materials are disposed inside the heating pad body 1 to generate heat and transfer the heat to the outside of the heating pad body 1. In other embodiments, the heating pad body 1 can be processed into square, round, or other shapes to cover the legs, and can also be processed into the shape of a shawl to cover the shoulders and back; including but not limited to these.

[0022] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, several flexible weight modules 2 are provided, and these modules are attached to corresponding positions on the heating pad body 1 in different areas. For example, in one embodiment, the flexible weight modules 2 include a neck and back flexible weight module 2 and a shoulder flexible weight module 2. The neck and back flexible weight module 2 is adapted to be attached to the neck and back area of ​​the heating pad body, and the shoulder flexible weight module 2 is adapted to be attached to the shoulder areas on both sides. The neck and back flexible weight module includes a neck weight module and a back weight module. The back weight module has inwardly concave arcs on both sides, which can adapt to the arc of the human back and facilitate fitting and connection. By providing three or four flexible weight modules 2 in different locations, they can be attached to corresponding positions on the heating pad body 1, resulting in a higher degree of fit with the user at the corresponding position. The shape of the flexible weight modules 2 can also be set to fit the human body, so that they can be attached to different parts of the human body as needed, thereby improving the fit between the heating pad body and the human body. In other embodiments, the flexible counterweight module 2 can be provided with more blocks, allowing the user to attach the required number of flexible counterweight modules 2 as needed, and also install the flexible counterweight modules 2 at appropriate locations as required. By attaching the flexible counterweight modules 2 to the outside of the heating pad body 1, the installation difficulty can be reduced, eliminating the need for sewing work, and without affecting the distribution of the heating devices inside the heating pad body 1. In other embodiments, depending on the purpose and shape of the heating pad body 1, the flexible configuration module 2 can also be set as square, circular, etc.

[0023] In one embodiment, the flexible counterweight module includes: a molding layer, counterweight particles, a thermal adhesive film layer, and a covering layer. A plurality of the counterweight particles are disposed between the molding layer and the thermal adhesive film layer. The covering layer is disposed on the side of the thermal adhesive film layer opposite to the counterweight particles, so as to cooperate with the thermal adhesive film layer to fix the counterweight particles onto the molding layer. The molding layer can be directly connected to the heating pad body 1, or another fabric layer can be disposed between the heating pad body 1 and the molding layer for connection. The covering layer can be made of skin-friendly fabric or other materials.

[0024] In this embodiment, the counterweight granules 21 can be made of ceramic, glass, or other heat-storing materials. This allows them to absorb some heat during heating and release the absorbed heat when the power is off to maintain the therapeutic effect, fully utilizing residual heat. The shape of the counterweight granules 21 is not specifically limited and can be cylindrical, bead-shaped, etc. In a preferred embodiment, the counterweight granules 21 are evenly distributed on the fitting part 22, ensuring uniform weight distribution on the heating pad body. In another embodiment, the counterweight granules 21 can be attached to the fitting part 22, allowing the user to increase or decrease the number of counterweight granules 21 as needed. Furthermore, if some areas are found to be hollowed out, counterweight granules 21 can be added to those areas to make the heating pad body 1 fit the user more closely. The fitting part 22 uses a soft material to allow adjustment of the shape of the flexible counterweight module 2 according to the body part to fit the user. The soft material can be silicone, PP, etc. The flexible counterweight module 2 has various weight specifications, which can be achieved by arranging different weights or different numbers of counterweight particles 21. When the flexible counterweight module 2 is detachably installed on the heating pad body 1, the user can replace the flexible counterweight module 2 with different specifications as needed.

[0025] In one embodiment, a fabric layer, such as fleece, is provided on the outer side of the heating pad body 1. The flexible counterweight module 2 can be directly formed on the outer side of the fabric layer, and then the fabric layer is connected to the outer side of the heating pad body by sewing or other means, that is, the counterweight granules 21 are directly fixed to the fabric layer. In other embodiments, the flexible counterweight can be formed separately and then sewn or pasted onto the fabric layer.

[0026] In one embodiment, the flexible counterweight module 2 is bonded to the heating pad body via a hot-pressing process or by adhesive bonding to achieve a fixed connection. This solution facilitates automated production.

[0027] In another embodiment, the flexible counterweight module 2 is attached to the heating pad body by Velcro or detachable buckles for easy disassembly. The detachable connection is achieved by Velcro or detachable buckles, which allows users to easily increase or decrease the number of flexible counterweight modules 2 as needed, and to increase or decrease the number of counterweights in the corresponding parts as needed, so as to achieve quick disassembly.

[0028] This embodiment utilizes the characteristics of the counterweight particles 21 to transform the traditional planar counterweight into a point-like counterweight, resulting in more uniform weight distribution and a better fit to the body. The counterweight can be divided into multiple modules, particularly addressing the issue of fit between active body parts and the heating pad. The weight of the counterweight pad can be adjusted according to customer preferences by changing the number and weight of each counterweight particle 21, achieving customization. The flexible counterweight module 2 can be manufactured using a hot-pressing process, enabling modular and automated production. Since the flexible counterweight module 2 does not need to be sewn into the heating pad body 1, the production process does not require manual sewing like traditional heating pads. Automated production, including automatic material rolling, hot-pressing, and laser trimming, can be achieved, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
