Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spinal medical device technology, specifically to a spinal physical therapy device. Background Technology

[0002] In the human skeletal structure, the upper end of the spine connects to the skull, and the lower end connects to the tip of the coccyx, forming the central skeletal system. Around the spine are numerous acupoints with diverse functions, including those widely used for disease treatment. However, with the increasingly changing work patterns in modern society, more and more people face the problems of poor posture and lifestyle habits such as prolonged desk work, sedentary lifestyles, and looking down at electronic devices. This leads to a growing number of people experiencing injuries and pain in different locations of the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical spine, accompanied by conditions such as frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, lumbar disc herniation, degenerative osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and muscle strain.

[0003] In this context, electrotherapy has emerged as a new form of physical therapy and has received widespread attention. Electrotherapy, also known as electrostimulation therapy, is based on the principle of precisely targeting the nerve tissue and various sensitive acupoints of the human body with specific electrical stimulation signals, thereby stimulating the body's own regulatory mechanisms to achieve a series of therapeutic effects such as relieving pain, improving blood circulation, and promoting tissue repair.

[0004] However, existing electrotherapy devices typically only provide simple electrical stimulation to localized areas of the body by attaching electrodes to specific acupoints. This significantly limits the treatment range and effectiveness, making it difficult to meet the complex and diverse treatment needs of spinal diseases. Furthermore, the electrode attachment process is cumbersome, requiring precise guidance from professionals, which is inconvenient for patients. The various parameter settings and adjustments involved also present significant learning and mastery challenges for non-professionals, making them unsuitable for personal or home use. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the problems of limited treatment area and complex operation in existing spinal electrotherapy devices by providing a spinal physical therapy system, a therapy pad, and the device itself. The therapy device of this invention, by making the electrode pads into a one-piece covering therapy pad, can fully cover the spine and surrounding acupoints, ensuring that electrical stimulation can act extensively on the spinal area, thereby expanding the treatment range, and is simple to operate.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a spinal physical therapy device, including a therapy bed, a therapy pad on the therapy bed, and a plurality of conductive blocks symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front of the therapy pad along the length direction. The conductive blocks are connected to electrode signal lines, and the terminals of the electrode signal lines are led out from the back of the therapy pad and connected to a power supply device. An air mattress is provided between the physiotherapy pad and the physiotherapy bed. The air mattress is connected to an external air source device to inflate and deflate, so that the physiotherapy pad fits the user.

[0007] Using the above method, electrotherapy is performed on the user by setting conductive blocks on the physiotherapy pad. This can comprehensively cover the spine and surrounding acupoints. The user only needs to lie on the physiotherapy pad, without the need to attach electrode pads in specific locations, making it convenient to use. Furthermore, by setting an air mattress between the physiotherapy pad and the physiotherapy bed, the inflation of the air mattress allows the physiotherapy pad, i.e. the conductive blocks, to fit more closely to the user's body, ensuring that the electrical stimulation signal can be accurately transmitted to the spine and surrounding acupoints, thereby guaranteeing the effectiveness of electrotherapy.

[0008] Based on the above solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows: Furthermore, the portion of the physiotherapy bed that supports the physiotherapy pad has a wavy cross-section in the length direction and a downward-concave cross-section in the width direction. This allows the physiotherapy pad to better conform to the physiological curvature of the human spine through the support of the physiotherapy bed. This enables the spine to be in a natural and relaxed state when the user lies on the physiotherapy bed, reducing the additional pressure on the spine caused by improper posture. This allows the electrical stimulation therapy to be performed under more ergonomic conditions, thereby ensuring the comfort and effectiveness of the treatment.

[0009] Furthermore, the physiotherapy bed includes a bed frame, an upper bed board, and a lower bed board. The lower bed board is fixedly mounted on the bed frame, and the upper bed board is rotatably connected to the lower bed board. The upper bed board can rotate to contact the bed frame, allowing the physiotherapy pad to be angled according to the treatment or usage needs of different users, thereby improving user comfort. A telescopic assembly is provided between the upper bed board and the bed frame. The telescopic assembly causes the upper bed board to rotate, and the physiotherapy pad is placed on the upper bed board.

[0010] Furthermore, the air mattress is divided into three areas that can be inflated and deflated independently, namely the neck and shoulder area, the chest area, and the waist area; Alternatively, the air mattress can be divided into separate air mattresses for the neck and shoulder area, the chest area, and the waist area, and the air mattresses for the neck and shoulder area, the chest area, and the waist area can be individually inflated and deflated.

[0011] Furthermore, a heating wire is provided inside the physiotherapy pad, and the wiring terminal of the heating wire is led out from the back of the physiotherapy pad and connected to an external power supply device.

[0012] Furthermore, the heating wire is divided into separate heating wires for the neck and shoulder area, the chest area, and the waist area, and the heating wires for the neck and shoulder area, the chest area, and the waist area can achieve individual heating.

[0013] Furthermore, the terminals of the heating wire are connected in sequence to a temperature sensor and a temperature control switch, and the terminals of the temperature control switch are connected to an external power supply device to control the heating of the heating wire.

[0014] The above solution allows the air mattresses corresponding to the neck, shoulder, chest, and waist areas of the physiotherapy pad to be inflated individually, providing support to each of the three areas and ensuring adequate support for the user's spine. It also allows the heating wires in each area to be inflated and heated independently, enabling users to flexibly select areas for heat therapy based on the location and severity of their symptoms, thus achieving a specific treatment plan.

[0015] Furthermore, both the temperature sensor and the temperature control switch are located on the side of the physiotherapy pad, with the temperature control switch located at the end of the side of the physiotherapy pad away from the neck and shoulder area; the terminals of the electrode signal lines are converged and led out at the end of the side of the physiotherapy pad away from the neck and shoulder area, so that additional hazards can be kept as far away as possible from the user's spinal area, especially the neck and shoulder area, thereby ensuring the safety of use.

[0016] Furthermore, the bed frame is equipped with a water sprayer, a dust-free paper tube, and wheels. The water sprayer is detachably located on the side of the bed frame, the dust-free paper tube is rotatably located at the end of the bed frame, and the wheels are fixedly located at the bottom of the bed frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the telescopic component is an electric actuator.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model through the above technical solution are as follows: 1. In this utility model, by setting conductive blocks on the physiotherapy pad to perform electrotherapy on the user, it can comprehensively cover the spine and surrounding acupoints. The user only needs to lie on the physiotherapy pad, without the need to attach electrode pads in specific positions, which is more convenient to use. Furthermore, by setting an air mattress between the physiotherapy pad and the physiotherapy bed, the inflation of the air mattress can make the physiotherapy pad, i.e. the conductive blocks, fit more closely to the user's body, ensuring that the electrical stimulation signal can be accurately transmitted to the spine and surrounding acupoints, thereby ensuring the effect of electrotherapy.

[0019] 2. In a further embodiment of this utility model, the physiotherapy bed has a wavy cross-section in the length direction and a downward concave middle section in the width direction. This allows the physiotherapy pad to better conform to the physiological curvature of the human spine through the support of the physiotherapy bed. When the user lies on the physiotherapy bed, the spine can be in a natural and relaxed state, which can reduce the extra pressure on the spine caused by improper posture.

[0020] 3. In a further embodiment of this utility model, the air mattresses corresponding to the neck, shoulder, chest, and waist areas of the physiotherapy pad can be inflated individually, providing support to the user's three areas respectively, so that the air mattress can fully support the user's spinal area; and the heating wires corresponding to each area can be inflated and heated individually, allowing for flexible selection of areas requiring heat therapy according to the location and severity of the user's condition, in order to achieve a specific treatment plan.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, a spinal physical therapy device includes a therapy bed 1, on which a therapy pad 2 is provided. Several conductive blocks 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front of the therapy pad 2 along its length. Specifically, along the length of the therapy pad 2, the length of the conductive block 3 in the middle of the therapy pad 2 gradually decreases and then gradually increases, while the length of the conductive blocks 3 on both sides of the therapy pad 2 gradually increases and then gradually decreases. Each conductive block 3 is connected to an electrode signal line 4. The terminal of the electrode signal line 4 is led out from the back of the therapy pad 2 and connected to a power supply device, which is an electrotherapy machine. The electrotherapy machine is connected to a power source via a wire. The electrotherapy machine can be any existing technology. By directly setting the conductive blocks 3 on the therapy pad 2, the user only needs to lie on the therapy pad 2 during use, without needing to attach electrode pads to specific locations, making it more convenient to use and providing more comprehensive coverage of the spine and surrounding acupoints.

[0024] An air mattress 5 is provided between the physiotherapy pad 2 and the physiotherapy bed 1. The air mattress 5 is connected to an external air source device to realize inflation and deflation. When the air mattress 5 is inflated, it can make the physiotherapy pad 2, i.e. the conductive block 3, fit more closely with the user's body, ensuring that the electrical stimulation signal can be accurately transmitted to the spine and surrounding acupoints.

[0025] As one possible implementation, the portion of the physiotherapy bed 1 that supports the physiotherapy pad 2 has a wavy cross-section in the length direction and a downward-concave cross-section in the width direction. Specifically, the cross-section in the length direction is an inverted "S" shape. This allows the physiotherapy pad 2 to better conform to the physiological curvature of the human spine through the support of the physiotherapy bed 1. This allows the spine to be in a natural and relaxed state when the user lies on the physiotherapy bed, reducing the additional pressure on the spine caused by improper posture. This enables the electrical stimulation therapy to be performed under more ergonomic conditions, thereby ensuring the comfort and effectiveness of the treatment.

[0026] As one possible implementation, the physiotherapy bed 1 includes a bed frame 101, an upper bed board 102, and a lower bed board 103. The lower bed board 103 is fixedly mounted on the bed frame 101, and the upper bed board 102 is rotatably connected to the lower bed board 103, so that the physiotherapy pad 2 can be angled according to the treatment or usage needs of different users, and the upper bed board 102 can be rotated to contact the bed frame 101. A telescopic assembly 104 is provided between the upper bed board 102 and the bed frame 101. The telescopic assembly 104 drives the upper bed board 102 to rotate. Specifically, the telescopic assembly 104 is an electric push rod, which is connected to an external power source via an electric wire. The therapy pad 2 is placed on the upper bed board 102. Figure 6As shown, Velcro felt plates 105 are provided on the upper bed board 102 and the physiotherapy pad 2 respectively, so that the position of the upper bed board 102 can be adjusted to further improve its applicability. In order to further ensure the friction between the physiotherapy pad 2 and the upper bed board 102, the back of the physiotherapy pad 2 is provided with rubber protrusions.

[0027] As one possible implementation, the air mattress 5 is divided into three areas that can be inflated and deflated individually, namely the neck and shoulder area, the chest area, and the waist area.

[0028] As one possible implementation, the air mattress (5) is divided into separate air mattresses for the neck and shoulder area, air mattresses for the chest area, and air mattresses for the waist area. The air mattresses (5) for the neck and shoulder area, chest area, and waist area can be individually inflated and deflated.

[0029] This allows the air mattress 5 to support the user's neck and shoulder area, chest area, and waist area respectively. Even if different users have different spinal curvatures, the therapy pad 2 can still fully conform to the user's spinal area under the support of the air mattress 5.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3 The air inlets of the air mattresses 5 in the three areas shown are connected to the air outlets of the four-way solenoid valves 12 via air pipes. The air inlets of the four-way solenoid valves 12 are connected to the air outlets of the air pumps 13, and the air inlets of the air pumps 13 are connected to the air source 14. To reduce the operating noise of the air pumps 13, a silencer 15 can be added between the air inlets of the air pumps 13 and the air source. By controlling the operation of the air pumps 13 and the four-way solenoid valves 12, it is possible to control whether to inflate the air mattresses 5. To monitor the air pressure of the air mattresses 5 in the three areas in real time, an air pressure sensor can be added to the air pipe connecting the air mattresses 5 and the four-way solenoid valves 12.

[0031] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the physiotherapy pad 2 is equipped with heating wires 6, which are divided into separate heating wires for the neck and shoulder area, the chest area, and the waist area. The heating wires 6 in the neck and shoulder area, the chest area, and the waist area can be heated individually. The wiring terminals of the heating wires 6 are led out from the back of the physiotherapy pad 2 and connected to a power supply device 2. The power supply device 2 can be a power supply or a controller (the controller is connected to the power supply through a wire), etc., so that the area to be heated can be flexibly selected according to the different user's needs.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the terminals of the heating wire 6 are connected in sequence to the temperature sensor 7 and the temperature control switch 8. The terminals of the temperature control switch 8 are connected to the power supply device 2 and are used to control the heating of the heating wire 6. Specifically, the temperature sensor 7 is used to detect the temperature of the heating wire 6. When the temperature of the heating wire 6 is too high or exceeds the set value, the temperature control switch 8 controls the circuit to disconnect, thereby stopping the heating of the heating wire 6 from heating too high and burning the user. Both the temperature control switch 8 and the temperature sensor 7 can be from existing technologies.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the temperature sensor 7 and the temperature control switch 8 are both located on the side of the physiotherapy pad 2, with the temperature control switch 8 located at the end of the side of the physiotherapy pad 2 away from the neck and shoulder area; the terminals of the electrode signal line 4 are gathered and led out at the end of the side of the physiotherapy pad 2 away from the neck and shoulder area; the heating wire 6, the electrode signal line 4, etc. are all pre-embedded in the physiotherapy pad 2, so that additional hazards can be kept as far away from the user's spinal area, especially the neck and shoulder area, thereby ensuring the safety of use.

[0034] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bed frame 101 is equipped with a water spray bottle 9, a dust-free paper tube 10, and wheels 11. The water spray bottle 9 is detachably mounted on the side of the bed frame 101. Specifically, the side of the bed frame 101 is equipped with a hanging rod, and the handle of the water spray bottle 9 is hung on the hanging rod. The dust-free paper tube 10 is rotatably mounted at the end of the bed frame 101, and the wheels 11 are fixedly mounted at the bottom of the bed frame 101. In use, the dust-free paper is first laid flat on the physiotherapy pad 2, and then water is sprayed onto the dust-free paper using the water spray bottle 9. This can improve the conductivity of the conductive block 3, thereby improving the effect of electrotherapy.

[0035] In this embodiment, when used: Adjust the upper bed board 102 to a suitable angle according to the user's needs (if heat therapy is required, turn on the heating wire 10-20 minutes in advance), lay the dust-free paper on the physiotherapy pad 2, spray water on the dust-free paper using the water spray bottle 9, and have the user lie on the physiotherapy pad 2. By controlling the operation of the air pump 13 and the four-way solenoid valve 12, control the degree of inflation of the air mattress 5 in the neck and shoulder area, chest area and waist area respectively, so that the air mattress 5 fully supports the user's spinal area. Then, control the opening and closing of the electrotherapy machine and the intensity of the electrotherapy to perform electrotherapy on the user.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any equivalent or equivalent modifications or substitutions to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention or the scope of disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
