Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of physiotherapy equipment technology, and in particular to a lumbar physiotherapy device with far-infrared and microcurrent thermoelectric stimulation effects. Background Technology

[0002] A lumbar support, as the name suggests, is a protective covering for the lower back. Also known as a lumbar girdle or waist belt, it's a popular choice for those who sit or stand for long periods. The lower back, as the power source for many movements, is prone to strain and injury during daily life, work, and exercise. Medical professionals place great importance on lower back protection, and various medical lumbar support belts, pads, and pillows are available as reliable protective gear, often used as an adjunct treatment for acute lower back pain and herniated discs.

[0003] Currently, most commercially available physiotherapy products for the lower back primarily focus on physical massage or heat application, offering limited effectiveness in relieving deep muscle fatigue, managing pain, and promoting tissue repair; their functions are relatively limited. Electrostimulation therapy (TENS / EMS) is widely used to relieve pain, promote blood circulation, and aid muscle recovery. However, TENS / EMS alone is relatively weak in heating deep tissues and improving local microcirculation. Traditional heat therapy (such as hot water bottles and ordinary electric heating pads) can promote blood circulation and relieve muscle stiffness, but it suffers from inaccurate temperature control, insufficient heat penetration, low thermal efficiency, and a risk of burns.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a lumbar physiotherapy device that combines far-infrared heat therapy and electrical stimulation. Utility Model Content

[0022] This invention proposes a lumbar physiotherapy device with far-infrared and microcurrent thermoelectric stimulation effects.

[0023] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the lumbar physiotherapy device with far-infrared and microcurrent thermoelectric stimulation effects includes a lumbar support belt 100, an elastic strap 200, a physiotherapy device 300, and a control host 400. The lumbar support belt 100 wraps around the waist of the human body, and the elastic strap 200 is disposed at the rear end of the lumbar support belt 100. The two ends of the lumbar support belt 100 and the elastic strap 200 are detachably and fixedly connected. The physiotherapy device 300 is disposed on the inner wall of the lumbar support belt 100. The physiotherapy device 300 includes a flexible infrared radiation heater 301 and a flexible electrode sheet (not shown). The flexible electrode sheet is disposed on the lower end wall of the flexible infrared radiation heater 301. The flexible infrared radiation heater 301 includes a flexible substrate 3011, a reflective coating 3012, and a photonic crystal infrared radiation heating coating 3013. An infrared radiation coating 3012 is disposed on the outer sidewall of the flexible substrate 3011, and a photonic crystal infrared radiation heating coating 3013 is disposed on the inner sidewall of the flexible substrate 3011. The control host 400 is electrically connected to the photonic crystal infrared radiation heating coating 3013 and the flexible electrode sheet. The control host 400 is equipped with a main control board (not shown) and a rechargeable lithium battery (not shown). The main control board is equipped with an infrared photonic radiation driving circuit and a pulsed microcurrent generating circuit. The infrared photonic radiation driving circuit is electrically connected to the photonic crystal infrared radiation heating coating 3013, and the pulsed microcurrent generating circuit is electrically connected to the flexible electrode sheet. The flexible electrode sheet is electrically connected in contact with human skin. Far-infrared light is emitted by the photonic crystal infrared radiation heating coating 3013, and pulsed microcurrent is released by the flexible electrode sheet.

[0024] Specifically, it also includes an elastic thermally conductive protective sleeve (not shown), which is disposed on the inner wall of the waist support belt 100. The flexible infrared radiation heater 301 is embedded in the elastic thermally conductive protective sleeve, and the flexible electrode sheet is embedded on the inner wall of the elastic thermally conductive protective sleeve.

[0025] Specifically, it also includes a moxibustion pad (not shown). The upper end of the elastic heat-conducting protective sleeve has an opening, and the moxibustion pad is detachably embedded in the elastic heat-conducting protective sleeve. The moxibustion pad is located at the front end of the flexible infrared radiation heater 301. Traditional moxibustion relies on burning moxa wool to generate heat and medicinal properties, while the moxibustion pad releases heat through the flexible infrared radiation heater. It activates the components of moxa through high temperature to achieve a heat effect that simulates moxibustion, but without the need for an open flame, reducing the risk of burns. Combined with far-infrared rays penetrating the skin, it promotes blood circulation and relieves problems such as muscle soreness and joint pain, which can further enhance the therapeutic effect.

[0026] Specifically, the lumbar support belt 100 includes an inner layer and an outer layer. The inner layer is made of breathable cotton, modal, or mesh material. The inner layer fits the waist, is skin-friendly, breathable, comfortable, and not easily deformed. It also has a high elastic shaping effect to help slim the waist and abdomen and shape the waist curve. The outer layer is made of elastic nylon or polyester fiber material, which has a large elongation, high tensile strength, and good abrasion resistance. It can provide good wrapping and a high degree of fit, and is not easy to fall off, which helps to maintain the shape of the lumbar support belt during wear.

[0027] Specifically, the lumbar support belt 100 has multiple breathable micropores (not shown), which provide good breathability and prevent stuffiness even after long-term wear. It effectively absorbs and dissipates heat, thus improving wearing comfort.

[0028] Specifically, both ends of the lumbar support belt 100 and the elastic strap 200 are equipped with high-adhesion Velcro 500. The two ends of the lumbar support belt 100 and the elastic strap 200 are detachably and securely connected by the high-adhesion Velcro 500. The elastic strap provides more stable support, making the lumbar support belt more secure and reliable to wear. It can effectively increase the stability of the lumbar spine and provide better lumbar support. Moreover, the lumbar support belt 100 and the elastic strap 200 can be flexibly adjusted according to needs to adapt to different usage requirements, making the lumbar support belt secure to wear, not easy to slip down, effectively distributing lumbar pressure, conforming to the curve of the human body, and providing stable support.

[0029] Specifically, the far-infrared light emitted by the photonic crystal infrared radiation heating coating 3013 has a wavelength range of 8.0μm to 14μm.

[0030] Specifically, the frequency range of the microcurrent released by the pulsed microcurrent generating circuit is 20 to 1000 Hz, the pulse width range is 200 to 400 microseconds, and the current is less than 100 mA.

[0031] Specifically, the control host 400 is electrically connected to the waist support belt 100 via a cable. The upper wall of the control host 400 is equipped with a touch screen 401, the side wall of the control host 400 is equipped with a frequency adjustment knob 402 and a charging interface 403, and the rear wall of the control host 400 is equipped with a back clip 404, which makes it easy to clip the control host onto clothing or the waist support belt.

[0032] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that: In this embodiment, a remote control 600 is also included. The control host 400 is disposed on the front wall of the lumbar support belt 100. The front wall of the control host 400 is provided with a button 405. Both the control host 400 and the remote control 600 are provided with a Bluetooth module. The remote control 600 is provided with a rechargeable lithium battery. The upper wall of the remote control 600 is provided with a button 601 and an LCD screen 602. The side walls of both the control host 400 and the remote control 600 are provided with frequency adjustment wheels 603. The remote control 600 is wirelessly connected to the control host 400 via the Bluetooth module, thereby avoiding the constraints of cables and making the lumbar support belt more convenient to use.

[0033] Specifically, the wearing and use state of this utility model is as follows: Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown.

[0034] Specifically, the working principle of this invention, which uses a photonic crystal infrared radiation heating coating to excite and radiate far-infrared light, is as follows: Photonic crystals are materials with periodic refractive indices or dielectric constants. The periodic structure of a photonic crystal can interact with the plasmon resonance effect on the surface of a metal thin film, thereby enhancing light of specific wavelengths on the surface. By controlling the structural parameters of the photonic crystal, the resonant frequency can be adjusted, thus exciting the emission of infrared light. Furthermore, the emitted infrared band can be flexibly controlled by changing the lattice size of the photonic crystal. The photonic crystal infrared radiation heating coating, through a three-dimensional photonic crystal structure design, introduces a photonic bandgap and is designed to achieve efficient heating of specific wavelengths based on the infrared absorption peaks of different materials. It utilizes the infrared radiation effect of the photonic crystal to achieve high efficiency, low energy consumption, and uniform heating.

[0035] Specifically, the working principle of this invention, which releases pulsed microcurrents through flexible electrode sheets, is as follows: By electrically connecting flexible electrode pads to the skin, small, low-voltage electrical pulses are delivered to the muscles, causing them to contract noticeably. This muscle contraction serves two purposes: firstly, it relieves inflammation, and secondly, it strengthens the muscles without involving the nervous system, thus avoiding pain and fatigue. Such sustained contraction aids in muscle training and increases metabolism, promoting local blood circulation and helping to improve swelling or pain caused by soft tissue injuries. It also has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, relieving pain caused by factors such as cervical spondylosis or lumbar disc herniation, and providing local anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, thus playing a significant role in pain relief.

[0036] Specifically, this invention utilizes a photonic crystal infrared radiation heating coating to efficiently and precisely emit far-infrared rays (8-14 micrometers) within the optimal wavelength range for human biological effects. This allows for faster and more uniform heat generation, with concentrated and stable infrared radiation energy, significantly enhancing the heating effect and improving the precision and energy utilization of thermotherapy. Through microcurrent electrical stimulation and deep, efficient far-infrared heat application, it exhibits significant synergistic effects, such as promoting blood circulation, relieving pain, relaxing muscles, and accelerating metabolism. It effectively improves blood circulation in the lower back, relieves muscle fatigue, activates cells to promote metabolism, clears meridians, dispels wind and dampness, relieves pain and cold, and enhances the body's disease resistance. This invention not only stabilizes the lower back but also provides continuous far-infrared heat application for warmth, microcurrent electrical stimulation, and simulates the heat effect of moxibustion. It provides a microcurrent thermoelectric stimulation effect to the lower back, effectively improving blood circulation, relieving muscle fatigue, activating cells, and promoting metabolism. It is convenient to use, has a long-lasting effect, effectively maintains lower back temperature, accelerates blood circulation, and prevents colds and certain stomach discomforts.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
