However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional modifications made by those skilled in the art based on these embodiments are included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] It should be understood that terms such as “above,” “over,” “below,” and “under” used herein to indicate spatial relative position are for illustrative purposes to describe the relationship of one unit or feature relative to another unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms “spatial relative position” may be intended to include different orientations of the equipment in use or operation other than those shown in the figures.

[0029] One embodiment of this utility model provides a portable physiotherapy device 10, which is designed to be easy to carry and operate, and is suitable for various scenarios such as clinical, home or mobile physiotherapy. Its core innovation lies in integrating commonly used ultrasound physiotherapy functions and electrical stimulation physiotherapy (or bioelectric signal acquisition) functions into a single device, so as to solve the inconvenience caused by the separation of functions in the prior art.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The exemplary structure shown indicates that the portable physiotherapy device 10 includes a main unit 100, which contains a rechargeable battery 160.

[0031] The portable physiotherapy device 10 also includes an ultrasound head 200 and electrode components 300. The ultrasound head 200 is used to output ultrasound to the external environment.

[0032] In one embodiment, the ultrasonic head 200 includes a metal housing 210 and a transducer 220 installed within the metal housing 210.

[0033] The ultrasonic head 200 is detachably connected to the main unit 100. In one embodiment, the main unit 100 has a connecting portion 120 to which the ultrasonic head 200 is detachably connected. Specifically, the ultrasonic head 200 is rotatably mounted to the main unit 100 via the connecting portion 120.

[0034] The host 100 may have a first electrical contact, and the ultrasonic head 200 may have a second electrical contact. When the ultrasonic head 200 is connected to the host 100, the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact are electrically connected, thereby enabling the transmission of electrical signals between the host 100 and the ultrasonic head 200.

[0035] The electrode component 300 is detachably connected to the host 100 and is used to perform electrical stimulation or bioelectric signal acquisition functions.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bioelectric signal can be an electromyographic signal or other similar signal. In this embodiment, the parameters of the host 100 can be further controlled based on the collected bioelectric signals to operate in either a first mode or an electrical stimulation mode.

[0037] The main unit 100 has an electrical connector 110, to which the electrode component 300 is detachably connected. The electrode component 300 may also have a wiring harness 350, one end of which is connected to the electrode plate 310, and the other end is provided with an electrical connector 340. The electrical connector 340 is detachably engaged with the electrical connector 110.

[0038] This detachable design allows users to easily replace different types or sizes of ultrasound heads 200 or electrode components 300 according to treatment needs, or remove other accessories when only one function is needed, greatly enhancing the flexibility and versatility of the device.

[0039] The host unit 100 has a first mode for powering the ultrasound head 200 and a second mode for powering the electrode components 300. The second mode includes an electrical stimulation mode that outputs electrical stimulation through the electrode pads 310, and / or an acquisition mode that acquires the user's bioelectrical signals through the electrode pads 310.

[0040] In this embodiment, the second mode can be simply the electrical stimulation mode. That is, when the host 100 is running in the second mode, the battery 160 of the host 100 supplies power to the electrode component 300, and the electrode plate 310 outputs electrical stimulation.

[0041] The second mode can also be simply a data acquisition mode. That is, when the host 100 is running in the second mode, the host 100's battery 160 supplies power to the electrode component 300, and the electrode pads 310 acquire the user's bioelectrical signals.

[0042] Of course, the second mode can also include both electrical stimulation mode and acquisition mode. Depending on the inserted electrode component 300, the user can control the host 100 to execute different modes.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first mode and the second mode cannot be operated simultaneously. That is, the user can select the control host 100 to operate in either the first mode or the second mode, thereby improving the operational stability of the physiotherapy device 10 when operating in each mode.

[0044] The portable physiotherapy device 10 provided in this embodiment not only integrates functions and improves the portability and resource utilization of the device, but also allows users to flexibly configure and use the device according to actual needs, such as using the ultrasound function alone, or connecting the electrode component 300 to use the electrical stimulation function, thereby greatly improving the convenience and economy of use.

[0045] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the portable physiotherapy device 10 also includes an operation button 130 disposed on the main unit 100. The operation button 130 is used to control the main unit 100 to operate in one of the following modes: a first mode, an electrical stimulation mode, and a data acquisition mode.

[0046] In this embodiment, a main control board may be installed inside the host 100, and a mode trigger switch is installed on the main control board. The operation button 130 can be coupled to the mode trigger switch. The user can trigger the mode trigger switch by triggering the operation button 130, thereby controlling the host 100 to operate in different modes.

[0047] It is understood that the operation button 130 forms a user interaction element. The operation button 130 can be one or more physical buttons, touch buttons, etc. The operation button 130 is used to control the host 100 to operate in one of the first mode, the electrical stimulation mode, and the acquisition mode, thereby allowing the user to directly select the desired function mode on the device, improving the directness and convenience of operation.

[0048] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the portable physiotherapy device 10 also includes a position switch 140. The position switch 140 is disposed on the main unit 100. The position switch 140 may be, for example, a button with "+" and "-" markings. The position switch 140 also serves as a user interaction element.

[0049] The position switch 140 is used to control the level of the output ultrasonic energy in the first mode, or to control the level of the output electrical stimulation energy in the electrical stimulation mode.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the main unit 100 is running in the first mode, the user can control the output ultrasound energy level using the gear switch 140 according to their own physical sensation or treatment needs. When the main unit 100 is running in the electrical stimulation mode, the user can control the output electrical stimulation energy level using the gear switch 140 according to their own physical sensation or treatment needs.

[0051] In this embodiment, the output energy can be adjusted using the gear switch 140 when the host 100 is running in different modes, thereby realizing personalized adjustment of treatment parameters.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the operation button 130 includes a hold button. The hold button is located on the host 100, and when the hold button is held active for a preset duration, the physiotherapy device 10 starts the acquisition mode.

[0053] In this embodiment, the user presses and holds the button to activate the acquisition mode of the physiotherapy device 10. The hold button can be used to activate different modes. For example, when the physiotherapy device 10 has both acquisition and electrical stimulation modes, a short press of the hold button activates the electrical stimulation mode, while a long press activates the acquisition mode. Alternatively, multiple different operation buttons 130 can be provided, allowing the user to activate different modes by operating different buttons 130.

[0054] The main unit 100 can also be equipped with a display screen 170. The display screen 170 can display information such as the current operating mode and gear position, thus providing intuitive prompts to the user.

[0055] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the portable physiotherapy device 10 is a handheld device. A connecting part 120 is provided at one end of the main unit 100, and an electrical plug-in part 110 is provided at the other end of the main unit 100.

[0056] In this embodiment, the main unit 100 may have a gripping part. Connecting parts 120 are respectively provided at both ends of the main unit 100 along its length. This facilitates the placement of the connecting parts 120 and the electrical connectors 110, allowing for convenient use when the ultrasonic head 200 or the electrode component 300 is connected to the main unit 100.

[0057] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the electrode component 300 includes at least one set of electrode sheets 310. Each set of electrode sheets 310 includes two electrode sheets 310 to form part of a conductive circuit.

[0058] See Figure 3 The electrode component 300 also includes a beam splitter 360. One end of the beam splitter 360 is connected to the electrical connector 340 via a wire harness 350, and the other end is provided with two sub-wire harnesses 351 and 352, which are respectively connected to two electrode plates 340.

[0059] During use, both electrode pads 310 are attached to the skin. The electrode pads 310, the human body, and the main unit 100 together form a conductive circuit, thereby transmitting the electrical stimulation signal to the user and realizing physiotherapy on specific parts of the user's body.

[0060] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the electrode pad 310 is a flexible electrode pad 310. The flexible electrode pad 310 can be made of materials such as conductive fabric, conductive silicone, or hydrogel with a conductive layer, and its inner side (the side in contact with the skin) can be provided with a gel layer to enhance conductivity, reduce skin resistance, and reduce the burning sensation that may be caused by electrical stimulation.

[0061] See Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the electrode component 300 is a vaginal electrode used to output electrical stimulation to the vagina.

[0062] In this embodiment, the electrode pad 310 is a metal electrode pad 310. The electrode component 300 is connected to the main unit 100 and can achieve special treatment purposes such as pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation.

[0063] The vaginal electrode has an electrode holder 370 with a specific shape suitable for insertion into the vagina. Due to differences in application environment and requirements, the electrode pad 310 is a metal electrode pad 310, made of conductive metal materials such as medical-grade stainless steel, to ensure conductivity and durability. The metal electrode pads 310 can be disposed on opposite sides of the electrode holder 370.

[0064] In this configuration, the electrode component 300 is primarily used to deliver electrical stimulation to the vagina, thereby expanding the application range of the portable physiotherapy device 10 and enabling it to support specific, more in-depth treatment needs.

[0065] To ensure the stability of signal transmission and the accuracy of bioelectric signal acquisition, this special electrode component 300 is preferably connected to the host 100 via a wired connection.

[0066] In one embodiment, the electrical connector 110 includes a first electrical connector 110a and a second electrical connector 110b. The first electrical connector 110a and the second electrical connector 110b are of different types.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first electrical connector 110a and the second electrical connector 110b are two physically different connectors and may have different structures, such as different shapes and sizes. Therefore, the electrical connector 340 adapted to the first electrical connector 110a cannot be plugged into the second electrical connector 110b. Similarly, the electrical connector 340 adapted to the second electrical connector 110b cannot be plugged into the first electrical connector 110a.

[0068] In this embodiment, the electrode component 300 includes a first electrode component and a second electrode component. The first electrode component has a first electrical connector detachably connected to a first electrical connector 110a. The second electrode component has a second electrical connector detachably connected to a second electrical connector 110b. The first electrode component is used to output electrical stimulation, and the second electrode component is used to acquire bioelectrical signals.

[0069] In this embodiment, the portable physiotherapy device 10 simultaneously features an electrical stimulation mode and a data acquisition mode. By providing two different first electrical connectors 110a and second electrical connectors 110b on the main unit 100, incorrect connection of the first and second electrode components can be avoided. This ensures that each electrical function can be executed through the correct signal path and processing circuitry within the main unit 100, greatly improving operational safety and functional reliability.

[0070] Further, see Figure 6 , Figure 7 In one embodiment of this utility model, the portable physiotherapy device 10 also includes a communication module, which is used to communicate with the mobile communication device 20.

[0071] The communication module is located within the host 100. This communication module can employ commonly used short-range wireless communication technologies in the field, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or other suitable protocols. Its core function is to enable the host 100 to establish wireless data connections with other devices.

[0072] The mobile communication device 20 can be a user's smartphone, tablet computer, or other portable smart terminal, on which a dedicated application (App) compatible with the portable physiotherapy device 10 is installed.

[0073] Users can establish a stable wireless connection between the host 100 and the mobile communication device 20 through a simple pairing operation.

[0074] After the connection is established, the mobile communication device 20 is used to control the host 100 to operate in the first mode or the second mode (including the electrical stimulation mode and / or the acquisition mode).

[0075] This means that users can intuitively and conveniently complete a variety of operations through the graphical user interface provided by the App on the mobile communication device 20, such as: selecting the desired working mode, setting detailed treatment parameters (such as intensity, frequency, treatment time, etc.), starting or stopping the treatment process, and even potentially achieving advanced functions such as recording, displaying and managing treatment data.

[0076] Compared to operating solely through physical buttons on the host 100, this method of remote control via mobile communication device 20 undoubtedly provides a richer, more flexible, and user-friendly interactive experience, greatly enhancing the device's intelligence level and user stickiness. This is an important improvement direction for this utility model.

[0077] In summary, this utility model ingeniously integrates the structure and function of the main unit 100, the detachable ultrasonic head 200, and the detachable electrode component 300, and uses the rechargeable battery 160 built into the main unit 100 as a power source, in conjunction with the internal control system to achieve switching and control of different working modes, thereby meeting the diverse needs of users.

[0078] This device can not only perform ultrasound therapy independently, but also perform electrical stimulation therapy and / or bioelectric signal acquisition and other electrical therapy functions, integrating a variety of commonly used therapy methods into one.

[0079] Compared to existing technologies that require separate functions and multiple independent devices, this has significant advantages: it greatly improves the integration and portability of the device, making it convenient for users to use in different situations and meeting diverse user needs.

[0080] It should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
