Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of physiotherapy equipment technology, and in particular to a multifunctional physiotherapy equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Electro-pulse therapy devices generate electrical pulse signals of specific frequency, waveform, and intensity, and transmit these signals through electrodes to muscles, nerves, or joints to improve blood circulation and relieve pain. However, while traditional electro-pulse therapy can achieve certain therapeutic effects, prolonged use of a single mode of electrical pulse stimulation may lead to monotony and discomfort for users, and may even reduce treatment adherence due to the lack of variation. This limitation stems from the single-function nature of traditional electro-pulse therapy devices. Furthermore, as users' demands for therapeutic experiences increase, single-function electro-pulse therapy devices cannot meet their needs for diverse therapeutic experiences, potentially putting them at a disadvantage in market competition.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] This embodiment describes a multifunctional physiotherapy device, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1-3 The device includes a physiotherapy unit 1, a first massage head 2, a second massage head 23, and a meridian brush 3. The meridian brush 3 and the two massage heads are connected to the output end of the physiotherapy unit 1 via wires. Each of the meridian brush 3 and the two massage heads is equipped with a vibration unit and a heating unit. The bottom of the meridian brush 3 is provided with a raised surface 33. The bottom of the two massage heads is provided with a positive electrode plate 41 and a negative electrode plate 42, respectively. The heating end of the heating unit is in contact with the raised surface 33, the positive electrode plate 41, and the negative electrode plate 42, respectively. The vibration unit is used to make the meridian brush 3 and the two massage heads vibrate. The physiotherapy unit 1 is equipped with an electric pulse generator 12. The electric pulse generator 12 is used to generate corresponding waveform outputs according to the simulated massage effect and transmit them to the raised surface 33 and the electrode plates. The physiotherapy unit 1 is also used to control the vibration intensity of the vibration unit and the heating temperature of the heating unit.

[0021] By incorporating vibration and heating units within the massage head and meridian brush 3, an electro-pulse therapy method is combined with vibration and thermotherapy. Through contact between the massage head and meridian brush 3 and the user's body, electro-pulse stimulation targets deep muscles and nerves. The vibration generated by the vibration unit promotes muscle relaxation and blood circulation, while the heating unit further relieves muscle tension. Thus, by combining multiple therapy methods, the therapeutic effect is improved, meeting users' needs for diverse therapeutic experiences and enhancing market competitiveness. Furthermore, the electro-pulse waveform of the electrode pads, the vibration intensity of the vibration unit, and the heating temperature of the heating unit can all be controlled via the main unit 1 of the therapy device. Users can adjust the therapy parameters according to their needs and actual usage to meet different application requirements.

[0022] Preferred options are listed in the appendix. Figure 4The first massage head 2 includes a first massage head shell 21 and a first massage head handle 22. The first massage head handle 22 is located on the top of the first massage head shell 21, and the positive electrode plate 41 is located on the bottom of the first massage head shell 21. A first PWM motor 51 and a first PET heating film 61 are fixed inside the first massage head shell 21. The rotating end of the first PWM motor 51 is connected to a first eccentric block. The first PET heating film 61 is attached to the positive electrode plate 41. The first massage head handle 22 is an arc-shaped structure 211 that gradually tapers from both ends to the middle. The second massage head 23 includes a second massage head 23 housing and a second massage head 23 handle. The second massage head 23 handle is located at the top of the second massage head 23 housing, and the negative electrode plate 42 is located at the bottom of the second massage head 23 housing. A second PWM motor 52 and a second PET heating film 62 are fixed inside the second massage head 23 housing. The rotating end of the second PWM motor 52 is connected to a second eccentric block. The second PET heating film 62 is attached to the positive electrode plate 41. The second massage head 23 handle is an arc-shaped structure 211 that gradually tapers from both ends to the middle.

[0023] A first PWM motor 51 and a second PWM motor 52 are fixed inside the first massage head 2 and the second massage head 23, respectively, and connected to the rotating end of the motors through an eccentric block. This allows the user to generate a vibration effect through the rotation of the PWM motors, and the vibration intensity can be controlled via PWM technology. It also allows for stepless speed switching to meet different vibration intensity needs. A first PET heating film 61 and a second PET heating film 62 are respectively installed inside the first massage head 2 and the second massage head 23. By attaching the PET heating film to the electrode pads, a gentle heat therapy effect is provided to the massage area while generating electrical pulse stimulation, further enhancing the comfort and effectiveness of the therapy. The first massage head 2 has a positive electrode pad 41, and the second massage head 23 has a negative electrode pad 42. This allows the first massage head 2, the second massage head 23, and the user's body to form a current circuit during therapy, ensuring that the electrical pulse signal can be accurately and effectively transmitted to the muscles, nerves, or joints. The massage head handle adopts an arc-shaped structure 211 that gradually tapers from both ends to the middle. Based on ergonomic principles, this design facilitates gripping and reduces hand fatigue during prolonged use.

[0024] Preferably, the meridian brush 3 includes a brush body shell 31, a brush body handle 32, multiple positive metal pillars 331 and multiple negative metal pillars 332. The brush body handle 32 is located on the top of the brush body shell 31. A third PWM motor 53 and a third PET heating film 63 are fixed inside the brush body shell 31. The rotating end of the third PWM motor 53 is connected to a third eccentric block. The third PET heating film 63 is attached to the top of the multiple positive metal pillars 331 and the multiple negative metal pillars 332 through a heat-conducting plate. The multiple positive metal pillars 331 and the multiple negative metal pillars 332 are arranged in an array at the bottom of the brush body shell 31 to form a raised surface 33.

[0025] A third PWM motor 53 is fixed inside the brush body shell 31 and connected to the rotating end of the motor via a third eccentric block. This allows the user to generate a vibration effect through the rotation of the PWM motor, and the vibration intensity can be controlled via PWM technology. It also enables stepless speed switching to meet different vibration intensity needs. A third PET heating film 63 is also fixed inside the brush body shell 31. Heat from the third PET heating film 63 is transferred to multiple positive metal pillars 331 and multiple negative metal pillars 332 via a heat-conducting plate, giving the meridian brush 3 a heat therapy function. The multiple positive metal pillars 331 and multiple negative metal pillars 332 are arrayed at the bottom of the brush body shell 31, forming a raised surface 33. During therapy, pressing the array allows the metal pillars to more evenly stimulate the meridians and acupoints under the skin, resulting in better therapeutic effects.

[0026] Preferably, the main unit 1 of the physiotherapy device also includes an MCU controller 11, buttons 13, and a display screen 14.

The display screen 14 displays the current massage mode and intensity level in real time, allowing users to easily obtain the current working status of the physiotherapy device. The MCU controller 11 outputs corresponding control commands to the electric pulse generator 12, each heating film, and each motor according to the massage mode and intensity level set by the user through buttons 13. This enables the adjustment of physiotherapy parameters, such as the frequency, amplitude, and waveform of the electric pulses, the heating temperature of the heating film, and the vibration frequency and intensity of the PWM motor, to meet different usage needs.
