Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of physiotherapy equipment technology, specifically an infrared physiotherapy vest based on a carbon nanotube heating film. Background Technology

[0002] As people's pace of life continues to accelerate and they lack time for exercise, they often remain seated for long periods of time at work and in their daily lives. This puts continuous pressure on the neck, back, and waist, making them prone to fatigue, pain, and other problems, which have an adverse impact on their health and quality of life. This has created an urgent need for convenient and efficient physiotherapy products.

[0003] In the field of modern physiotherapy, the demand for body care using thermal radiation continues to rise. Infrared physiotherapy, with its advantages of penetrating deep into human tissues, promoting blood circulation, and relieving muscle fatigue, has become a popular physiotherapy method. Traditional infrared physiotherapy often relies on large instruments, such as standing infrared physiotherapy lamps. These devices have significant drawbacks: First, their use is limited to specific spaces (such as physiotherapy rooms), making it difficult to meet users' needs for convenient use at home or portability. Second, the treatment areas are limited, usually only targeting small, localized areas (such as a single joint), and cannot simultaneously treat multiple key body parts such as the neck, waist, and abdomen, resulting in low efficacy. Third, operation is relatively complex, requiring professional assistance to adjust the irradiation angle and distance, making it difficult for ordinary users to use independently.

[0004] With the development of flexible heating materials, graphene and carbon fiber heating films have been attempted for application in physiotherapy products. However, graphene heating films suffer from high costs due to the complexity of raw material preparation and processing, resulting in high product prices and limiting mass consumption. Furthermore, uneven current distribution during graphene heating can easily lead to overheating spots, posing a safety hazard. While carbon fiber heating films possess a certain degree of flexibility, they exhibit poor heating uniformity. Due to the inherent properties of carbon fiber, heat conduction is prone to localized differences, making it difficult to achieve precise and balanced heat coverage across multiple parts of the body. Additionally, the bonding stability between carbon fiber and the substrate material is weak; prolonged use or frequent bending can lead to delamination and detachment of the heating film, affecting product lifespan and therapeutic efficacy.

[0005] Therefore, the market needs an infrared therapy product that combines portability, comfort, precise therapeutic effects, safety, stability, and cost-effectiveness. This utility model's infrared therapy vest addresses these pain points by employing a rational structural design and innovative material applications to overcome many shortcomings of traditional therapy equipment and existing flexible infrared products.

[0006] Based on this, an infrared physiotherapy vest based on a carbon nanotube heating film was designed. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the above situation and to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an infrared physiotherapy vest based on a carbon nanotube heating film, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0009] Preferably, the flexible carbon nanotube heating film is electrically connected to a temperature controller via wires.

[0010] Preferably, an insulating protective film layer is attached to the heating surface of the flexible carbon nanotube heating film.

[0011] Preferably, when the input voltage of the flexible carbon nanotube heating film is 12V, its highest heating temperature is 58±2℃.

[0012] Preferably, the flexible carbon nanotube heating film consists of an abdominal heating film, a waist heating film, and two neck heating films, with the abdominal and waist heating films located in the winding section and the neck heating films located in the back section.

[0013] Preferably, the abdominal heating film, the waist heating film, and the neck heating film have two copper foils arranged along the length of the heating surface, and the wires are welded to the copper foils.

[0014] Preferably, the abdominal heating film, the waist heating film, and the neck heating film are electrically connected in parallel.

[0015] Preferably, the abdominal heating membrane has a size of 35cm x 6cm, the waist heating membrane has a size of 20cm x 6cm, and the neck heating membrane has a size of 18cm x 6cm.

[0022] 5. The vest is soft and lightweight, making it easy for users to wear and move freely, and suitable for use at home, in the office, and when traveling. Attached Figure Description
