[Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0017] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an energy patch in one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the attachment surface of the energy patch shown in Figure 1. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a schematic top view of the energy patch in Figure 1. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a schematic side view of the energy patch in Figure 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0018] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an energy patch in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the adhesion surface of the energy patch in Figure 1. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the energy patch 100 includes a main body 110, a coating material 120, and an energy transfer 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 a separate adhesive material for attachment to the skin, but other embodiments are not limited to this. In this embodiment, for example, the adhesion surface 111 of the main body 110 is attached to the skin. The coating material 120 is installed inside the main body 110. The energy transfer material 130 is installed inside the main body 110 and transfers the energy generated by the coating material 120. In this embodiment, the energy described above is thermal energy as an example, and it provides the function of relieving muscle pain in the affected area. In other embodiments, the energy described above 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 radiating material, and generates thermal energy to alleviate muscle pain in the affected area. In one embodiment, the coating material 120 also includes safflower, cinnamon, hibiscus, lily of the valley, cinnamon twig, 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 can be used to lower the temperature of the affected area and provide an effect similar to that of an ice pack.

[0020] The energy transfer material 130 in 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 also transfer other types of energy. Furthermore, the coating material 120 and the energy transfer material 130 in this embodiment are in powder form and are evenly distributed within the main body 110, uniformly generating and transferring thermal energy to the affected area.

[0021] The material of the main body 110 includes silicone, which allows the main body 110 itself to repeatedly adhere to the skin, providing a reusable function. However, in one embodiment, an adhesive material (not shown) can be provided on the adhesion surface 111, thereby allowing the main body 110 to adhere more firmly to the skin. In other words, by mixing the coating material 120 with the adhesive material described above, the energy generated by the coating material 120 is transmitted to the affected area more quickly, and discomfort in the affected area is more effectively alleviated. Furthermore, the adhesive material includes, for example, an adhesive, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the material of the main body 110 includes rubber or plastic, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, the material of the main body 110 includes polyester fibers, artificial fibers, acrylic fibers, rayon, acetate fibers, elastic fibers, Lycra, nylon, latex, polyether polyurethane, foam, liquid gel, glass, stainless steel, steel or iron, etc.

[0022] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3 together, in this embodiment, the main body 110 has a surface facing the adhesion surface 111 (i.e., the surface shown in FIG. 3), and there are a plurality of convex portions 1110 on the said surface. Specifically, since the coating material 120 and the energy transfer material 130 are evenly distributed in the main body 110, the quantities of the coating material 120 and the energy transfer material 130 in the convex portions 1110 are more than those in other parts of the main body 110. Therefore, the convex portions 1110 generate and transfer more thermal energy to the affected area, enhance the thermal effect of the local affected area, and promote the blood circulation of the local affected area. As described above, the convex portions 1110 can provide an effect similar to local massage of muscles, and can more effectively relieve the discomfort of the affected area.

[0023] Referring again to FIGS. 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 both opposite sides of the adhesion surface 111, and each has recesses 1120 and 1130 that are recessed towards each other. That is, there is a recess 1120 on the side edge 112 that is recessed towards the side edge 113, and there is a recess 1130 on the side edge 113 that is recessed towards the side edge 112. In this way, the shape of the energy patch 100 is more suitable for the joint part of the human body, and it can prevent the energy patch 100 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 - 95 mm, the length by which the recess 1120 is recessed from the side edge 112 is in the range of about 25 - 30 mm, and the length by which the other recess 1130 is recessed from the side edge 113 is also similar to that of the recess 1120. Further, the maximum length L of the main body 110 is in the range of 155 - 165 mm, and also, as shown in FIG. 4, the thickness T of the main body 110 is in the range of about 2 - 3 mm, but the present invention is not limited to these detailed features.

[0024] Furthermore, referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 together, the main body 110 of this embodiment has, for example, a plurality of ventilation holes 114 to improve the comfort of the affected area. Furthermore, each ventilation hole 114 is, for example, evenly distributed, and in this way 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 a local area of the main body 110. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the aperture G of the ventilation holes 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. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the shape of the ventilation holes 114 is shown by 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 each located on the convex portion 1110. In other embodiments, it can be understood that the shape of the ventilation holes 114 is not limited to that shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the relative positional relationship between the ventilation holes 114 and the convex portion 1110 is also not limited to that shown in FIG. 1.

[0025] In summary, the energy patch of the present invention employs a main body that can be repeatedly attached to the skin, and since the coating material and the energy transmission material are installed in the main body, even after the energy patch has been used many times, the coating material and the energy transmission material remain in the main body, continuously providing an effect of alleviating the discomfort of the affected area. Thereby, the energy patch of the present invention has the advantage of being reusable and avoids waste of materials. Furthermore, the main body of the energy patch has convex portions, and the convex portions have the effect of simulating local massage of the muscles and can more effectively relieve the discomfort of the affected area. On the other hand, since the main body further has structures such as ventilation holes and recesses, etc., it can further improve the comfort of the affected area and prevent the energy patch from falling off.
