[0010] In the infrared physiotherapy device described above, the length of the circuit board is greater than its width, and the long side and the short side are rounded. A plurality of diodes are distributed along a racetrack shape, and another plurality of diodes are distributed within the racetrack shape formed by the plurality of diodes.

[0011] As described above, the front surface of the soft rubber base of the infrared physiotherapy device has an anti-slip structure.

[0012] In the infrared physiotherapy device described above, the outer side of the soft rubber base protrudes outward corresponding to each mounting slot and forms a concave interval groove on the outer side of the soft rubber base.

[0013] In the infrared physiotherapy device described above, the power of the diode is P1, the length of the diode is L, the power of the diode reaching the front surface of the soft rubber base is P2, and the distance H between the diode and the front surface of the soft rubber base satisfies...

[0014] As described above, in an infrared physiotherapy device, the soft rubber base is provided with multiple flexible connecting rods arranged horizontally and vertically. Each row of mounting slots has horizontally arranged connecting rods on both the front and rear sides, and each row of mounting slots has vertically arranged connecting rods on both the left and right sides. The horizontally arranged connecting rods span from the first row of mounting slots to the last row of mounting slots, and the vertically arranged connecting rods span from the first row of mounting slots to the last row of mounting slots. The soft rubber base is provided with several fixing rings for holding the connecting rods.

[0015] In the infrared physiotherapy device described above, the connecting rod is a steel wire.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. The infrared physiotherapy device of this utility model has several spaced mounting grooves formed in the recess of the soft rubber base. The circuit board is installed in the mounting groove. The circuit board is a rigid board, which forms a rigid structure in the mounting groove. The soft rubber base is made of soft rubber. Multiple circuit boards are arranged in several rows and columns through multiple mounting grooves. The soft rubber between the circuit boards forms a flexible connection. It can be bent by the soft rubber and is suitable for different parts of the body, such as the shoulders and knees. It is convenient to use.

[0018] 2. The mounting groove of the soft rubber base of this utility model is provided with a step, and the mounting groove has multiple support structures that protrude upward from the bottom of the mounting groove to support the circuit board. The step lifts the circuit board and raises the diodes away from the bottom of the mounting groove, and the support structures prevent the mounting groove from sinking.

[0019] 3. The outer side of the soft rubber base of this utility model protrudes outward corresponding to each mounting slot, forming a concave spacer groove on the outer side of the soft rubber base.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5The infrared therapy device shown comprises, from front to back, a soft rubber base 1, a circuit board 2, and a soft backing 3. The soft rubber base 1 has several recessed mounting slots 4 arranged in rows and columns. The circuit board 2 is mounted within the mounting slots 4. Multiple diodes 5 emitting infrared light are located on the side of the circuit board 2 facing the bottom of the mounting slot 4. A switch 6 for controlling the operation of the diodes 5 is electrically connected to the circuit board 2. The backing 3 is fixed to the soft rubber base 1 and covers the circuit board 2. The soft rubber base 1 is preferably made of silicone, which is soft, flexible, and comfortable against the skin; it can also be made of other soft materials. The backing 3 can be made of cotton or other soft fabric. The circuit board is a rigid board, forming a rigid structure within the mounting slots, while the soft rubber base is made of soft rubber. Multiple circuit boards are arranged in rows and columns (e.g., two rows and two columns) through multiple mounting slots 4. The soft rubber between the circuit boards forms a flexible connection, allowing for bending and adaptability to different parts of the body, such as the shoulders and knees.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting groove 4 has a step 40, and the edge of the circuit board 2 is supported on the step 40. The mounting groove 4 has multiple support structures that protrude upwards from the bottom of the groove 4 and support the circuit board 2. The step 40 lifts the circuit board 2 and raises the diode 5 away from the bottom of the mounting groove 4, while the support structures prevent the mounting groove 4 from sinking.

[0031] The support structure includes multiple support columns 41 distributed in the central region of the mounting groove 4. Furthermore, the mounting groove 4 is also provided with support ribs 42 located outside the support columns 41.

[0032] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the circuit board 2 has several laterally concave arc-shaped openings 21 on its two opposite sides. The mounting groove 4 has a positioning post 43 that cooperates with the arc-shaped openings 21. The upper end of the positioning post 43 has a baffle 44 that is larger than the arc-shaped openings 21. The baffle 44 blocks the circuit board 2 to prevent the circuit board 2 from falling out of the mounting groove 4, thus ensuring a stable installation.

[0033] Preferably, the length of the circuit board 2 is greater than its width, and the long side and the short side are rounded. The plurality of diodes 5 are distributed along the racetrack shape, and there are another plurality of diodes 5 distributed within the racetrack shape formed by the plurality of diodes 5.

[0034] Furthermore, to increase friction with the skin and prevent slippage, the front surface of the soft rubber base 1 is provided with an anti-slip structure 9, such as... Figure 1 As shown. The anti-slip structure can be a honeycomb pattern or other anti-slip structures, such as raised dots.

[0035] See Figure 1The outer side of the soft rubber base 1 protrudes outward corresponding to each mounting slot 4, forming a concave spacer groove 10 on the outer side of the soft rubber base 1. Each mounting slot and the circuit board form a unit, and there is a soft rubber spacer groove 10 between each unit, which facilitates bending at the spacer groove 10 and is suitable for parts such as shoulders and knees.

[0036] Infrared therapy devices come in low, medium, and high power ranges. Low power ranges from 1mW to 10mW, medium power ranges from 20mW to 50mW, and high power ranges from 50mW to over 100mW. In this invention, to ensure the diode reaches the skin to the required power, parameters such as the diode's length, power, and the distance H between the diode and the front surface of the soft rubber base are set. Specifically, the diode 5 has a power of P1, a length of L, a power of P2 reaching the front surface of the soft rubber base 1, and a distance H between the diode and the front surface of the soft rubber base 1, satisfying the specified parameters.

[0037] In this embodiment, the infrared therapy device is taken as a medium power example. The power of the infrared light emitted by the diode when it reaches the skin surface is 10mW, that is, P2 is 10mW.

[0038] Example 1: L = 3.5 mm, P1 = 30 mW, then H = 6.062 mm;

[0039] Example 2: L = 3.0 mm, P1 = 26 mW, then H = 4.157 mm;

[0040] The diode has a light-emitting angle of 120 degrees.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the infrared physiotherapy device of this utility model has multiple flexible connecting rods 8 arranged horizontally and vertically on the soft rubber base 1. Each row of mounting slots 4 has horizontally arranged connecting rods 8 on both the front and rear sides, and each row of mounting slots 4 has vertically arranged connecting rods 8 on both the left and right sides. The horizontally arranged connecting rods 8 span from the first row of mounting slots 4 to the last row, and the vertically arranged connecting rods 8 span from the first row of mounting slots 4 to the last row. The soft rubber base 1 has several fixing rings 7 for holding the connecting rods 8. Preferably, the connecting rods 8 are flexible steel wires. The flexible connecting rods allow the steel wires to deform when the infrared physiotherapy device is bent. Without external force, the steel wires maintain their deformed state, providing a retaining force to maintain the bent shape of the infrared physiotherapy device.
