Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to patches, and in particular to energy patches. [Background technology]

[0002] Many modern people have to work long hours using computers, which can lead to problems such as stiff shoulders and neck. In recent years, more and more people are focusing on health, and more and more people are finding time to exercise after work. However, many people have become accustomed to sitting for long periods of time, which can lead to muscle pain.

[0003] Generally, muscle pain can be relieved by resting or massaging, but using a painkiller patch is effective for quickly relieving pain. However, most current painkiller patches are disposable, which leads to waste of materials. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the attachment surface of the energy patch of FIG. [Diagram 3] FIG. 3 is a schematic top view of the energy patch of FIG.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an energy patch in one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the attachment surface of the energy patch in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the energy patch 100 includes a main body 110, a coating material 120, and an energy transmission material 130. The main body 110 can be repeatedly attached to the skin of the human body, that is, the main body 110 itself can be attached to the skin of the human body, and there is no need to provide an adhesive material for attaching it to the skin, but other embodiments are not limited thereto. Note that in this embodiment, the main body 110 is attached to the skin, for example, through the attachment surface 111 in FIG. 2. The coating material 120 is installed in the main body 110. The energy transmission material 130 is installed in the main body 110 and transmits the energy generated by the coating material 120. In this embodiment, the above-mentioned energy is exemplified as thermal energy, which provides the function of relieving muscle pain in the affected area. In other embodiments, the above-mentioned energy is not limited to thermal energy, and it can be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific type of energy.

[0019] The coating material 120 of this embodiment includes, for example, snow lotus (Saussurea involucrata) and a far-infrared emitting material, and generates thermal energy to relieve muscle pain in the affected area. In one embodiment, the coating material 120 further includes safflower, chinkinso, hibiscus, cnidium officinalis, cinnamon bark, etc. It can be understood that the energy generated by the coating material 120 of this embodiment is not limited to the thermal energy described above. For example, in another embodiment, the coating material 120 is used to reduce the temperature of the affected area and can provide an effect similar to that of an ice pack.

[0020] The energy transfer material 130 of this embodiment includes, for example, graphene, and transfers the energy generated by the coating material 120 to the affected area. For example, in this embodiment, the energy transfer material 130 can transfer the thermal energy described above, but in other embodiments, the energy transfer material 130 can transfer other types of energy. In addition, the coating material 120 and the energy transfer material 130 of this embodiment are in powder form and are evenly distributed within the body 110 to uniformly generate and transfer thermal energy to the affected area.

[0021] The material of the body 110 includes silicone, which allows the body 110 itself to be repeatedly attached to the skin, providing a function of reusability. However, in one embodiment, an adhesive material (not shown) can be provided on the attachment surface 111, which allows the body 110 to be more firmly attached to the skin. That is, by mixing the coating material 120 with the above-mentioned adhesive material, the energy generated by the coating material 120 can be transferred to the affected area more quickly, and the discomfort of the affected area can be more effectively alleviated. Furthermore, the adhesive material can include, for example, an adhesive, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In another embodiment, the material of the body 110 can include rubber or plastic, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in another embodiment, the material of the body 110 can include polyester fiber, synthetic fiber, acrylic fiber, rayon, acetate fiber, elastic fiber, lycra, nylon, latex, polyether polyurethane, foam, liquid gel, glass, stainless steel, steel, or iron, etc.

[0022] 1 and 3, in this embodiment, the main body 110 has a surface (i.e., the surface shown in FIG. 3) facing the attachment surface 111, and the surface has a plurality of protrusions 1110. Specifically, since the application material 120 and the energy transmission material 130 are evenly distributed in the main body 110, the amount of the application material 120 and the energy transmission material 130 in the protrusions 1110 is greater than that in other parts of the main body 110. Therefore, the protrusions 1110 generate and transmit more heat energy to the affected area, enhancing the hyperthermia effect of the local affected area and promoting blood circulation in the local affected area. As described above, the protrusions 1110 can provide an effect similar to a local massage of the muscles and more effectively relieve discomfort in the affected area.

[0023] 1 and 3, the main body 110 of this embodiment has, for example, side edges 112 and 113. The side edges 112 and 113 are located on opposite sides of the attachment surface 111, and have recesses 1120 and 1130 recessed toward each other. That is, the side edge 112 has a recess 1120 recessed toward the side edge 113, and the side edge 113 has a recess 1130 recessed toward the side edge 112. In this way, the shape of the energy patch 100 can be more adapted to the joint of the human body, and the energy patch 100 can be prevented from falling off due to the movement of the joint. As shown in FIG. 3, the maximum width W of the main body 110 is about 90 to 95 mm, the length of the recess 1120 recessed from the side edge 112 is in the range of about 25 to 30 mm, and the length of the other recess 1130 recessed from the side edge 113 is similar to that of the recess 1120. Furthermore, the maximum length L of the body 110 is in the range of 155-165 mm, and as shown in FIG. 4, the thickness T of the body 110 is in the range of approximately 2-3 mm, although the present invention is not limited to these detailed features.

[0024] Further, referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, the main body 110 of this embodiment has, for example, a plurality of ventilation holes 114, which improves the comfort of the affected area. Furthermore, the ventilation holes 114 are, for example, evenly distributed, so that the main body 110 can provide a more uniform ventilation effect and further improve the comfort of the affected area. However, in other embodiments, the ventilation holes 114 are also distributed in localized areas of the main body 110. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the hole diameter G of the ventilation hole 114 of this embodiment is, for example, in the range of 0.1 to 1 mm, for example, about 2 mm, but other embodiments are not limited thereto. Note that, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the shape of the ventilation hole 114 is shown as three intersecting slits L1, L2, and L3, and the angle between any two adjacent slits L1, L2, and L3 is about 120 degrees with respect to each other, and the three slits L1, L2, and L3 are located on the protrusion 1110, respectively. In other embodiments, it can be understood that the shape of the ventilation hole 114 is not limited to that shown in Figures 1 and 2, and the relative positional relationship between the ventilation hole 114 and the protrusion 1110 is not limited to that shown in Figure 1.

[0025] In summary, the energy patch of the present invention adopts a body that can be repeatedly attached to the skin, and the coating material and the energy transmission material are installed in the body, so that even after the energy patch is used many times, the coating material and the energy transmission material remain in the body and continue to provide the effect of relieving the discomfort of the affected area. This allows the energy patch of the present invention to have the advantage of being reusable and avoids waste of materials. Furthermore, the body of the energy patch has a convex portion, which has the effect of simulating a local massage of the muscle, and can more effectively relieve the discomfort of the affected area. Meanwhile, the body also has structures such as vents and recesses, which can further improve the comfort of the affected area and prevent the energy patch from falling off.
