[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0029] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a microcurrent-guided gel patch. The gel patch is applied to the surface of the human body, especially to the area requiring treatment, and delivers medication through penetration into the muscle. This embodiment's microcurrent-guided gel patch includes a substrate layer 100, a gel layer 400, and a main unit 500. The bottom surface of the substrate layer 100 has two mutually insulated electrodes 200, and the top surface of the substrate layer 100 has conductive contacts 210 electrically connected to the two electrodes 200. The gel layer 400 covers the bottom surface of the substrate layer 100, and the electrodes 200 are located between the gel layer 400 and the substrate layer 100. During use, the gel layer 400 is in direct contact with the human body, serving both as an adhesive and a storage medium for the medication. The main unit 500 provides power and controls discharge parameters, and has connectors corresponding to the conductive contacts 210. The main unit 500 can be quickly attached and detached using magnetic attraction, eliminating the need for additional wiring during use, making the microcurrent-guided gel patch simpler and more convenient to use. The main unit 500 can be disassembled for charging and recharging.

[0030] The conductive contact 210 consists of two protruding metal pillars with rounded chamfers at the top. A fixing plate is provided at the bottom of the metal pillars, which is fixed to the electrode 200. The conductive contact 210 is mechanically connected to the electrode 200 through the fixing plate, and can also be electrically connected.

[0031] The device provided in this embodiment has the following effects: the host unit 500 can discharge through electrodes. When the gel patch is applied to the affected area of ​​the human body, the two electrodes 200 can be electrically connected by the human body, thus generating a microcurrent in the human body. This microcurrent stimulates the muscle fascia of the affected area, thereby relaxing the muscle fascia and promoting blood circulation. The traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine analgesic drugs in the gel layer can be introduced into the human body. Combined with the relaxing effect of the microcurrent, the introduction effect is better, thus relieving pain in the affected area.

[0032] In some embodiments, the connector and conductive contact 210 on the host 500 are magnetically attracted. Magnetic attraction enables rapid alignment and contact, achieving electrical connection. Specifically, a magnet can be provided on the connector of the host 500, or the contact portion of the connector of the host 500 can be directly set as a magnet.

[0033] In some embodiments, the electrode 200 has a sheet-like structure, with two electrodes 200 located on opposite sides of the center line of the substrate layer 100. The electrodes on both sides can be independent and insulated from each other. The sheet-like electrode 200 may also have several perforated structures 201, giving it more discharge edges. The perforated structures 201 ensure that the remaining portions of the sheet-like electrode 200 have approximately equal widths.

[0034] In some embodiments, the electrode 200 has a strip-shaped structure, and the electrode 200 includes a positive electrode 200 and a negative electrode 200. Both the positive electrode 200 and the negative electrode 200 include multiple strips. The multiple positive electrodes 200 are electrically connected, and the multiple negative electrodes 200 are also electrically connected. The positive electrodes 200 and the negative electrodes 200 are distributed in a staggered manner.

[0035] In some embodiments, the device further includes a charging case 600, which has a recess 620 for accommodating the main unit 500. The bottom of the recess 620 has charging contacts 621 corresponding to the connector. The charging case 600 has a cover 610, which, when opened, directly exposes the recess 620, and when closed, covers the recess 620. This allows the main unit 500 to be securely held within the recess 620 and prevents it from falling out during charging. The cover 610 of the charging case 600 also facilitates convenient storage and transportation when closed.

[0036] In some embodiments, release paper is applied to the gel layer 400.

[0037] In some embodiments, the connector includes two sockets, each socket containing a conductive sheet, and an elastic sheet extending toward the center of the socket from its inner wall. The distance between the two sockets is equal to the distance between the two conductive contacts 210.

[0038] Furthermore, the conductive contact 210 has a radially inwardly contracting neck at the middle of its height direction. After the conductive contact 210 is inserted into the socket, the elastic sheet presses against the neck to lock the conductive contact 210 in place.

[0039] In some embodiments, it further includes a middle frame 300 which is located below the base layer 100. The middle frame 300 is provided with windows for fitting the electrodes 200, and the top surface of the middle frame 300 is flush with the electrodes 200. The setting of the middle frame 300 can cover the periphery of the electrodes 200 to prevent the electrodes 200 from being exposed. The middle frame 300 is provided with two windows, and the two windows make the middle frame 300 in the shape of a Chinese character 'Ri'. The middle frame 300 is made of insulating material.

[0040] In some embodiments, the gel layer 400 can also be disposed within the windows of the middle frame 300, specifically below the electrodes 200, and the gel layer 400 exactly fills the space between the electrodes 200 and the bottom surface of the middle frame 300.
