Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of foot pad technology, and in particular to an anti-fatigue pad. Background Technology
[0002] Existing anti-fatigue mats are mainly used to relieve foot and leg fatigue caused by prolonged standing. Anti-fatigue mats can improve blood circulation, reduce leg and foot pain, alleviate fatigue, and improve work efficiency. However, with long-term use, anti-fatigue mats themselves can harden, lose elasticity, and their anti-fatigue effect diminishes, affecting comfort and work efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides an anti-fatigue mat with good elasticity and good softness even after long-term use, which helps to improve the user's leg and foot comfort and enhance the user experience.
[0004] An anti-fatigue pad, comprising:
[0005] Cushion;
[0006] A heating layer is disposed on the pad body. The heating layer includes heating elements and a wiring layer for arranging the heating elements. The heating elements are evenly arranged on the side of the wiring layer facing the pad body. The heating elements are embedded in the wiring layer, or the heating elements are attached to the wiring layer.
[0007] A controller is disposed on the wiring layer and electrically connected to the heating element; the controller includes a switch for controlling the power supply to and from the heating element.
[0008] In one embodiment, the wiring layer is made of one of the following materials: silicone, rubber, sponge, PU, and PVC.
[0009] In one embodiment, the heating element is an alloy resistance wire or a glass fiber resistance wire, and the diameter of the resistance wire is less than or equal to 5 mm.
[0010] In one embodiment, the resistance wire is bent into multiple U-shaped structures, which are evenly spaced apart, with the interval between adjacent U-shaped structures being less than or equal to 5 cm.
[0011] In one embodiment, the heating element is either a carbon fiber heating wire or a graphene heating film.
[0012] In one embodiment, the pad is a composite of one or more materials selected from polyurethane (PU), rubber, foam, sponge, vinyl, PVC, gel, and wood.
[0013] In one embodiment, the thickness of the pad is 0.5cm to 5cm.
[0014] In one embodiment, the anti-fatigue pad further includes an anti-slip layer, which is disposed on the side of the pad body away from the heating layer, and the pad body is adhered to the anti-slip layer or the pad body and the anti-slip layer are integrally formed.
[0015] In one embodiment, the fatigue-resistant pad further includes a temperature sensor disposed on the heating layer and electrically connected to the controller.
[0016] In the anti-fatigue mat provided in this application, a heating layer is provided on the mat body. The mat body softens when heated, which effectively prevents the anti-fatigue mat from hardening. It still has good softness and elasticity after long-term use, which helps to improve the user's leg and foot comfort and enhance the user experience.
[0017] In the anti-fatigue pad provided in this application, the thickness of the heating layer is less than or equal to 5 mm. A thinner heating layer makes the pad more prone to deformation, providing users with a better foot feel. When the thickness of the heating layer is greater than 5 mm, the pad deforms less when pressure is applied, resulting in poor cushioning when the foot is on the anti-fatigue pad, which is not conducive to improving the user's blood circulation and has a poor effect on relieving fatigue.
[0018] In the anti-fatigue pad provided in this application, the heating element is an alloy resistance wire or a glass fiber resistance wire, with a wire diameter of 5mm or less. The thinner resistance wire makes the heating layer, which is covered with resistance wires, more flexible and less rigid, allowing the pad to deform more easily and providing a better user experience. The thinner resistance wire also facilitates automatic wiring by the machine, especially at bends. Furthermore, the thinner resistance wire allows for maximum heat transfer from the resistance wire to the surface of the heating layer, reducing energy loss.
[0019] When resistance wire is used as the heating element, it is bent into multiple evenly arranged U-shaped structures, with the interval between adjacent U-shaped structures less than or equal to 5 cm. In this way, the resistance wire is densely arranged, resulting in uniform heating.
[0020] In the anti-fatigue mat provided in this application, the thickness of the mat body is 0.5cm to 5cm. When the mat body thickness is less than 0.5cm, stepping on the anti-fatigue mat will cause discomfort to the feet; when the mat body thickness exceeds 5cm, the mat body will deform under pressure, making it easy to lose stability, which is not conducive to improving the user's blood circulation and has a poor effect on relieving fatigue. Too thick a mat will also increase costs.

In addition to the illustrative aspects, embodiments, and features described above, further aspects, embodiments, and features of this application will become readily apparent from the accompanying drawings and the following detailed description.

These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. For example, a first feature subsequently described in the specification being formed above or on a second feature can include implementations where the first and second features are formed in a direct connection, or implementations where an additional feature is formed between the first and second features, thus the first and second features may not be directly connected. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples in these disclosures.

[0031] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an anti-fatigue pad, which includes a pad body 1, a heating layer 2, and a controller 3. The heating layer 2 is disposed on the pad body 1 and includes heating elements 21 and a wiring layer 22 for arranging the heating elements 21. The heating elements 21 are evenly arranged on the side of the wiring layer 22 facing the pad body 1. The heating elements 21 are embedded in the wiring layer 22, or the heating elements 21 are attached to the wiring layer 22. The controller 3 is disposed on the wiring layer 22 and electrically connected to the heating elements 21; the controller 3 includes a switch 31, which is connected to a power cord 6 for controlling the power supply to and from the heating elements 21. The switch 31 can be controlled by foot or manually. In this embodiment, by providing a heating layer 2 on the pad body 1, the pad body 1 softens when heated, effectively preventing the anti-fatigue pad from hardening. Even after long-term use, it retains good softness and elasticity, which is beneficial for improving blood circulation, increasing leg and foot comfort, and enhancing the user experience.
[0033] In one embodiment, the pad 1 is made of one or more materials selected from polyurethane (PU), rubber, foam, sponge, vinyl, PVC, gel, and wood. For example, if the pad 1 is made of pearl cotton, which has good rebound properties, the user can get a better foot feel.
[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the wiring layer 22 is a silicone pad, rubber pad, sponge pad, or PU pad. Materials include silicone, rubber, sponge, PU, and PVC. Silicone is soft, possesses good flexibility and resilience, can adapt to different surface shapes, and has good thermal conductivity to ensure uniform heat distribution. Silicone also has excellent electrical insulation properties, enabling safe use in electronic devices and preventing short circuits and other electrical problems. In addition to thermal conductivity, silicone also has multiple functions such as shock absorption, sealing and insulation, wear resistance, and weather resistance, and can meet the design requirements for ultra-thin anti-fatigue pads.
[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the thickness of the heating layer 2 is less than or equal to 5 mm. A thinner heating layer 2 allows the pad 1 to deform more easily, providing a better foot feel for the user. If the thickness of the heating layer 2 is greater than 5 mm, the pad deforms less when pressure is applied, resulting in insufficient cushioning when the foot is on the anti-fatigue pad, which is detrimental to improving blood circulation and relieving fatigue. Furthermore, if the heating layer 2 is too thick, it hinders heat transfer from the heating element 21. Temperature is difficult to transfer to the surface, and the user cannot feel the temperature.
[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the heating element 21 is an alloy resistance wire or a glass fiber resistance wire, and the diameter of the resistance wire 211 is less than or equal to 5 mm. The thinner resistance wire 211 ensures that the heating layer 2, covered with resistance wires 211, remains relatively soft and not too rigid, allowing the pad 1 to deform more easily and providing a better foot feel for the user. If the diameter of the resistance wire 211 is greater than 5 mm, the heating layer 2 will be too rigid, making it difficult for the anti-fatigue pad to deform significantly under pressure. This would result in poor cushioning for the user, hindering blood circulation and reducing fatigue relief. Furthermore, a diameter greater than 5 mm increases heat loss and reduces energy efficiency.
[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the resistance wire 211 is bent into multiple U-shaped structures 2111, which are evenly spaced apart. The interval between adjacent U-shaped structures 2111 is less than or equal to 5 cm, denoted as a, where a ≤ 5 cm. This arrangement of the resistance wires 211 results in a dense and uniform heating effect. In other embodiments, the heating element 21 is either a carbon fiber heating wire or a graphene heating film. The wiring follows the principle of uniform resistance wire wiring. It can be in a U-shape, and can be laid horizontally or vertically.
[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the thickness of the pad 1 is 0.5cm to 5cm. When the thickness of the pad 1 is less than 0.5cm, stepping on the anti-fatigue pad will cause discomfort; when the thickness of the pad 1 exceeds 5cm, the pad 1 deforms more under pressure, making it easy to lose stability, which is not conducive to improving the user's blood circulation and has a poor effect on relieving fatigue. Excessive thickness also increases costs. When the thickness of the pad 1 is between 0.5cm and 5cm, this thickness ensures that the pad 1 deforms easily under pressure, providing the user with a better foot feel.
[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the anti-fatigue pad further includes an anti-slip layer 4, which is disposed on the side of the pad body 1 facing away from the heating layer 2. The pad body 1 is adhered to the anti-slip layer 4, or the pad body 1 and the anti-slip layer 4 are integrally formed. In other embodiments, anti-slip textures are directly provided on the side of the pad body 1 facing away from the heating layer 2, which can also achieve the anti-slip effect.
[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the anti-fatigue pad further includes a temperature sensor 5, which is located on the heating layer 2 and electrically connected to the controller 3. The temperature sensor 5 detects the temperature of the heating layer 2 and transmits the temperature data to the controller 3. When the temperature reaches a set temperature value, the power supply is controlled by a switch 31 on the controller 3, thereby controlling the working state of the heating layer 2. The temperature sensor 5 on the heating layer 2 is electrically connected to the controller 3. When the temperature sensor 5 detects that the temperature of the heating layer 2 is below or within the set range, the heating layer 2 operates; when the temperature sensor 5 detects that the temperature of the heating layer 2 is above the set range, the heating layer 2 stops operating. Users do not need to frequently adjust manually; the controller 3 can automatically control the surface temperature of the anti-fatigue pad within a relatively constant range through the temperature sensor 5, while also providing overheat protection. In other embodiments, the controller 3 has an internal timer device that can be set for operating time to achieve energy saving and safety. The controller 3 also has a leakage protection device. If the anti-fatigue pad is damaged and leaks electricity, and a person accidentally touches it, the leakage protection device will automatically cut off the power supply, making the anti-fatigue pad safer to use.
[0041] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solutions include at least the following:
[0042] In the anti-fatigue pad provided in this application, by setting a heating layer 2 on the pad body 1, the pad body 1 will soften after being heated, effectively preventing the anti-fatigue pad from hardening. It still has good softness and elasticity after long-term use, which is conducive to improving the user's leg and foot comfort and enhancing the user's experience.
