Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage device technology, specifically to a single-sided conductive structure applied to a massager. Background Technology

[0002] EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) is a physical therapy method that uses electrical current to stimulate muscles to relax them and relieve fatigue.

[0003] In existing EMS micro-electric massagers, these products typically use double-sided FPC boards (Flexible Printed Circuit Boards) in conjunction with electrode pads to transmit microcurrents. The double-sided FPC boards have circuits etched on both sides, and the circuit on one side is attached to the electrode pads to transmit microcurrents to the electrode pads. The electrode pads are attached to the skin to relax muscles and relieve fatigue.

[0004] Because circuits are etched on both sides of double-sided FPC boards, their cost is relatively high. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a single-sided conductive structure for a massager that can reduce the manufacturing cost of EMS micro-electric massagers.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A single-sided conductive structure for use in a massager includes: a single panel, one side of which is provided with a circuit, the other side of which is attached with a conductive material layer, the conductive material layer being electrically connected to the circuit, and an electrode sheet being connected to the side of the conductive material layer facing away from the single panel.

[0008] In the single-sided heating structure described above, one end of the conductive material layer is folded back at the edge of the single panel and electrically connected to the circuit.

[0009] In the single-sided heating structure described above, the single panel has exposed copper points, and the folded-back conductive material layer is in contact with the exposed copper points.

[0010] In the single-sided heating structure described above, the conductive material layer is one of the following: conductive cloth, metal conductive film, metal oxide conductive film, conductive polymer film, conductive nanomaterial film, composite conductive film, and conductive ceramic film.

[0011] In the single-sided heating structure described above, the single-sided panel is a single-sided FPC board.

[0012] In the single-sided heating structure described above, the area of ​​the conductive material layer is less than or equal to the area of ​​the single panel.

[0013] In the single-sided heating structure described above, the current transmitted from the circuit to the conductive material layer is a microcurrent.

[0014] In the single-sided heating structure described above, the microcurrent is 1mA~10mA.

[0015] In the single-sided heating structure described above, the single panel is an FPC heating element.

[0016] In the single-sided heating structure described above, a thermistor is provided on the side of the single panel facing away from the conductive material layer, and the thermistor is used to detect the temperature change of the single panel.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] When the circuit on the single-sided panel is energized, the conductive material layer transmits electrical signals to the other side of the single-sided panel, which energizes the electrode pads on the other side of the single-sided panel. When the electrode pads are in contact with the user's skin, they can relax the user's muscles and relieve fatigue. Compared with the use of double-sided FPC boards, since the circuit is etched on only one side of the single-sided panel, its cost is lower. When used in EMS micro-electric massagers, it can reduce their manufacturing costs. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a single-sided conductive structure for use in a massager, comprising: a single panel 1, one side of the single panel 1 having a circuit, the other side of the single panel 1 having a conductive material layer 2 attached thereto, the conductive material layer 2 being electrically connected to the circuit, and an electrode sheet 3 being connected to the side of the conductive material layer 2 facing away from the single panel 1.

[0026] When the circuit on the single-sided panel 1 is energized, the electrical signal in the circuit is transmitted to the conductive material layer 2. The conductive material layer 2 then transmits the electrical signal to the other side of the single-sided panel 1, which energizes the electrode sheet 3 on the other side of the single-sided panel 1. When the electrode sheet 3 is in contact with the user's skin, it achieves the therapeutic effect of relaxing muscles and relieving fatigue, meeting the basic functional requirements of the product. Compared with the use of double-sided FPC boards, since the circuit is etched on only one side of the single-sided panel, its cost is lower. When applied to EMS micro-electric massagers, it can reduce their manufacturing costs.

[0027] The single-sided conductive structure in this embodiment is relatively simple, with clear connections between its parts, which facilitates manufacturing and assembly, improves production efficiency, and reduces the risk of failure due to structural complexity.

[0028] In one embodiment, one end of the conductive material layer 2 is folded back at the edge of the single panel 1 and electrically connected to the circuit. When the circuit on the single panel 1 is energized, the current is transmitted to the other side of the single panel 1 through the folded edge of the conductive material layer 2, thereby energizing the electrode sheet 3. The conductive material layer 2 can be attached to both sides of the single panel 1 using conventional materials, which is simple to assemble, easy to fix, and reduces the occurrence of current transmission interruptions or instability due to poor contact, which is beneficial to improving production consistency and product quality stability.

[0029] In one embodiment, the single-panel 1 has exposed copper points, and the folded-back conductive material layer 2 is in contact with the exposed copper points.

[0030] The exposed copper point provides a clear and reliable connection point for the conductive material layer 2. During the production process, it makes it easier for assembly workers to identify the bonding points of the conductive material layer 2, improving production efficiency. It also ensures that the current can be accurately and effectively transmitted from the circuit to the conductive material layer 2, avoiding current transmission problems caused by inaccurate connection positions of the conductive material layer 2.

[0031] In one embodiment, the conductive material layer 2 is one of conductive cloth, metal conductive film, metal oxide conductive film, conductive polymer film, conductive nanomaterial film, composite conductive film, and conductive ceramic film.

[0032] In one embodiment, the single-sided panel 1 is a single-sided FPC sheet. FPC sheets have good flexibility, and single-sided FPC sheets are inherently thin, ensuring stable and reliable quality and performance of the single-sided panel. Furthermore, they are particularly suitable for the design of lightweight massagers, aligning with the development trend of massagers, resulting in more compact and portable products that are convenient for users to carry and use.

[0033] In one embodiment, the area of ​​the conductive material layer 2 is less than or equal to the area of ​​the single-panel panel 1. This ensures that the conductive material layer 2 can effectively conduct current while avoiding excessively large conductive material layers that would lead to material waste, increased costs, and negative impacts on the overall product layout. Simultaneously, it leaves sufficient space for other parts of the single-panel panel (such as thermistors and sockets), improving the product's space utilization.

[0034] In one embodiment, the current transmitted to the conductive material layer 2 by the circuit is a microcurrent.

[0035] Microcurrents are relatively safe for the human body and will not cause excessive muscle contraction or other uncomfortable reactions. This aligns with the therapeutic purpose of EMS pulses for relaxing muscles and relieving fatigue, helping to ensure the safety of the massager during use and preventing harm to the user due to excessive current.

[0036] Specifically, the microcurrent is 1mA to 10mA.

[0037] In one embodiment, the single panel 1 is an FPC heating element. The FPC heating element not only conducts electricity but also generates heat. When applied to a massage head, it integrates EMS therapy with heat therapy. The heat generated by the FPC heating element promotes blood circulation and accelerates metabolism. Combined with EMS pulsed muscle stimulation, it can better relieve muscle fatigue, relax muscles, and improve the therapeutic effect, providing users with a more comprehensive and comfortable experience.

[0038] Furthermore, electronic components can be soldered onto the side of the FPC heating element where the circuit is located without affecting the tight fit between the FPC heating element and the electrode plate. At the same time, the EMS pulse signal can be transferred to the metal electrode plate.

[0039] In one embodiment, a thermistor 12 is provided on the side of the single panel 1 facing away from the conductive material layer 2. The thermistor is used to detect the temperature change of the single panel 1. By monitoring the temperature in real time, the temperature status of the FPC heating element during operation can be understood in a timely manner, preventing damage to the FPC board, performance degradation, or safety hazards such as burns to users caused by excessive temperature.

[0040] Understandably, the circuitry on single-panel 1 includes a control circuit. The detection signal from the thermistor can be fed back to the control circuit to achieve intelligent control of the heating plate temperature. For example, when the temperature exceeds a set safety threshold, the control circuit can automatically reduce the heating power or shut down the heating function, thereby effectively protecting the massager and ensuring user safety. Furthermore, the heating power of the heating plate can be dynamically adjusted according to temperature changes to maintain a suitable temperature range, improving the heat therapy effect and the product's performance.

[0041] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
