Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing technology, specifically to a spinal pain relief heat therapy device. Background Technology

[0002] When the spine suffers injuries such as herniated discs, spinal fractures, spondylitis, or scoliosis, phantom pain is common. While phantom pain is a milder form of pain, its persistent or intermittent discomfort can significantly impact a patient's daily life and work. Hyperthermia, a device that promotes blood circulation, relieves muscle tension, increases joint flexibility, alleviates neuralgia, and promotes tissue recovery, is highly suitable for relieving phantom pain in the spine. Existing hyperthermia devices include heating packs, electric blankets, heating patches, steam heaters, laser hyperthermia equipment, and far-infrared heaters.

[0003] An electrothermal patch is an electric heating device comprising a main unit, a heat-conducting layer, and an adhesive layer. The main unit heats one end electrically, and the heat is transferred to the adhesive layer through the heat-conducting layer. The adhesive layer is used to adhere the patch to the patient's body. However, existing electrothermal patches, due to their small size, are typically only suitable for heat therapy on small, localized areas. Furthermore, the spine, being a long axial structure, cannot be effectively covered by electrothermal patches along its entire length, resulting in a limited thermal effect and hindering its therapeutic efficacy across the entire spinal region. To address these issues, a spinal pain-relieving heat therapy device is provided. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a spinal pain relief thermotherapy device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a spinal pain relief thermotherapy device, including the main unit of the device;

[0006] Multiple secondary units are configured, and the multiple secondary units are connected to the main unit sequentially via wiring. The main unit is connected in series with the multiple secondary units.

[0007] Multiple films are configured, each connected to the end face of the main unit and the auxiliary unit. The other end face of the films is connected to a patch for adhesion to the patient.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a temperature-conducting plate is installed in the middle part of the film, and a card is inserted into one end of the temperature-conducting plate. The pins of the card are inserted into the main unit or the auxiliary unit.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a heat-conducting mesh is connected around the periphery of the heat-conducting plate, and the heat-conducting mesh is embedded in the substrate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the heat-conducting plate and the heat-conducting mesh are made of copper.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the two sides of the film are connected with edge strips, and the two sides of the patch are inserted with locking strips, and the locking strips are engaged with the edge strips.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the end face of the patch away from the substrate is set as the adhesive surface.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the adhesive surface of the patch is coated with a medicinal powder.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] In this invention, the main unit forms a long strip structure by connecting multiple auxiliary units in series. After the main unit and auxiliary units are attached to the patient's body through a base plate and a patch, the thermotherapy device can fit the spine area on the patient's back. This solves the problem that existing electric heating patches cannot completely cover the entire length of the spine for effective thermotherapy, resulting in limited heat effect and inability to fully exert the role of thermotherapy, thus limiting its therapeutic effect on the entire spinal area.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This embodiment provides a spinal pain relief thermotherapy device, including a main unit 1, which is a portable massage patch with a reference model number of MF3116. One end of the main unit 1 is equipped with a touch screen, and the other end is a heating surface, which is an electromagnetic heating plate. After the main unit 1 is powered on, the heating surface can be activated via the touch screen to generate heat. The main unit 1 is used to apply heat therapy to the spinal region. However, the heat therapy area of ​​the main unit 1 is relatively small, while the spinal region has a long, narrow structure. To ensure comprehensive heating of the spinal region, auxiliary units 4 are connected to both ends of the main unit 1. The internal structure of the auxiliary units 4 is also based on the portable massage patch with a reference model number of MF3116, but unlike the auxiliary units 1, the auxiliary units 4 only contain a heating control system. The auxiliary units 4 can also be connected to other auxiliary units 4, forming a series circuit with the main unit 1. Activating the main unit 1 drives the auxiliary units 4 to heat synchronously.

[0023] Specifically, after the main unit 1 is powered on, its internal power supply provides a stable power source for the heating surface and the connected auxiliary unit 4. The main unit 1's power system automatically adjusts the output power according to the user's settings on the touchscreen to achieve the desired heating effect. The control system in the main unit 1 receives the temperature and heating time settings input by the user via the touchscreen and transmits this information to the auxiliary unit 4. The main unit 1 sends a control signal to the auxiliary unit 4 via the connection line, instructing it to activate the heating function. Upon receiving the signal, the auxiliary unit 4's heating control system activates its internal heating element and begins the heating process. Because the auxiliary unit 4 is designed similarly to the main unit 1 and uses the same heating technology, it can heat synchronously with the main unit 1 after receiving the signal. This design ensures uniform temperature across the entire spine, avoiding localized overheating or cooling, thereby improving the effectiveness of the thermotherapy. The wiring design of the auxiliary unit 4 allows users to add multiple auxiliary units 4 as needed to accommodate different users' spinal lengths and treatment requirements. Each auxiliary unit 4 can independently receive control signals from the main unit 1, forming a flexible thermotherapy system. Users only need to set the required heating parameters on the main unit 1, and the system will automatically manage all connected secondary units 4 to ensure the coordinated operation of the main unit 1 and secondary units 4 (this is existing technology and will not be described in detail).

[0024] Existing hyperthermia devices (such as the portable massage patch, model MF3116) mostly use gel patches as the adhesive medium to fix the device to the patient's body. However, many gel patches lack sufficient adhesion, causing the hyperthermia device to easily fall off during patient movement, thus affecting the treatment effect and user experience. To improve the stability and fit of the device, the design scheme is as follows: Figure 1As shown, both the main unit 1 and the auxiliary unit 4 are connected to patches 3 to ensure that the device can be firmly attached to the patient. Specifically, a base plate 2 is installed on the end face of both the main unit 1 and the auxiliary unit 4. The base plate 2 is made of highly elastic rubber material, which can be flexibly bent and conform to the curves of the human body, ensuring a good fit in different body positions. Side strips 23 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate 2. The side strips 23 are made of durable plastic material, which has a certain rigidity and strength, and can effectively enhance the stability of the overall structure. In the design of the patch 3, there are insertion holes on both sides. One end of the retaining strip 231 passes through the insertion hole and is inserted into the side strip 23, so that the patch 3 is firmly connected to the base plate 2. This connection method not only increases the stability of the patch 3, but also makes it convenient for users to quickly replace the patch 3 when needed. The design of the patch 3 is based on the products of Renhe Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (such as heat moxibustion plaster, musk bone strengthening plaster, etc.), and its end face that fits against the human body is coated with a high-performance adhesive. These adhesives are typically made of polymers or medical adhesives, possessing excellent adhesion and skin compatibility, ensuring the device is less prone to detachment during use and reducing treatment interruptions caused by poor adhesion. The center of patch 3 is designated as the medicated surface 31, containing various medicinal ingredients found in ointments, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics, and blood-activating agents. These ingredients penetrate the skin and enter the body upon contact with patch 3, exerting their therapeutic effect. The drug release rate and penetration depth are precisely designed to ensure that the drug continuously and effectively acts on the target area during thermotherapy, further enhancing the therapeutic effect.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, when the main unit 1 or the auxiliary unit 4 is heating, a heat-conducting plate 21 is installed in the middle part of the substrate 2 to increase the heating surface and improve temperature conduction efficiency. The design of the heat-conducting plate 21 is intended to optimize heat transfer, making the heating process more efficient and uniform. One end of the heat-conducting plate 21 is connected to a retaining plate 211, and the other end of the retaining plate 211 is connected to four pins. These pins penetrate the heat-conducting plate 21 and are inserted into the heating surface of the main unit 1 or the auxiliary unit 4. While connecting the heat-conducting plate 21 to the main unit 1 or the auxiliary unit 4 through the retaining plate 211, it ensures that heat can be effectively conducted directly from the heating source of the main unit 1 or the auxiliary unit 4 to the heat-conducting plate 21.

[0026] A heat-conducting mesh 22 is connected to the periphery of the heat-conducting plate 21 and is embedded inside the substrate 2 to further enhance heat conduction. Both the heat-conducting plate 21 and the heat-conducting mesh 22 are made of copper, a material with excellent thermal conductivity. The heat-conducting plate 21 is a copper plate, while the heat-conducting mesh 22 is woven from copper wire to form a mesh structure. Copper has excellent thermal conductivity, ensuring that heat is quickly and evenly conducted from the heating surface to the entire substrate 2. At the same time, the woven copper wire mesh structure gives the heat-conducting mesh 22 a certain degree of flexibility, allowing it to adapt to substrates of different shapes and ensuring that heat is evenly distributed over a wider area.

[0027] When the main unit 1 or the auxiliary unit 4 starts heating, the generated heat is quickly transferred to the substrate 2 through the heat-conducting plate 21 and the heat-conducting mesh 22, thus uniformly heating the patch 3. This heating process ensures the high efficiency of the thermotherapy equipment, allowing the patch 3 to fully exert the therapeutic effects of its medicinal components and enhance the effectiveness of thermotherapy. Through this heating method, patients can feel a continuous and comfortable warming effect during treatment, effectively promoting blood circulation and relieving muscle tension and pain.

[0028] Although copper has excellent thermal conductivity, the materials used for the heat-conducting plate 21 and the heat-conducting mesh 22 do not have to be limited to copper. For different application requirements and cost considerations, the heat-conducting plate 21 and the heat-conducting mesh 22 can also be made of other materials with excellent thermal conductivity, such as aluminum alloys or silver alloys. These alternative materials can also ensure good heat conduction and provide greater flexibility and diversity in the design of hyperthermia equipment.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
