Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical stimulation massager technology. [Previous Technology]

[0002] Electrical pulse massagers have advantages such as being small and portable, and having adjustable massage intensity, which can better meet the needs of various life scenarios and users. In related technologies, electrical pulse massagers use electrical stimulation to massage muscles and relieve fatigue, but the massage effect is singular and can easily cause user fatigue. [Summary of the Invention]

[0003] Embodiments of the present invention provide an electrostimulation massager and an electrostimulation massage device.

[0004] This invention provides an electrostimulation massager, which includes a pulse output section, a base, a plurality of electrode groups disposed on one side of the base, and a controller. The pulse output section is used to output electrical pulses and includes a plurality of electrical connection terminals. Each electrode group includes at least one electrode electrically connected to the same electrical connection terminal. The plurality of electrode groups are spaced apart and arranged in a circle. The controller is used to control at least two of the electrical connection terminals of the pulse output section to be energized, so that the corresponding electrode groups can contact the human body to form a conduction and perform electrostimulation massage on the human body. The controller is also used to control the pulse output section to switch the energized electrical connection terminals according to a set sequence, so that the plurality of electrode groups are sequentially energized in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to perform rotational massage on the human body.

[0005] In this way, by controlling the pulse output section to sequentially switch the energized electrical connection terminals of the electrode group connected to the electrical connection terminal in a set direction, it is possible to create a different massage experience by analogy with the circular massage technique.

[0006] In some embodiments, among the electrode groups connected to the electrical connection terminals that are adjacent in conduction time, at least one of the electrode groups is the same.

[0007] Thus, at least one repeating electrode group exists in the electrode groups with adjacent conduction times, which can make the user's body sensation more continuous, so as to match the body sensation of circular massage.

[0008] In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to control the pulse output section to output electrical pulses through at least one of the electrical connection terminals, and to control at least one of the electrical connection terminals to be grounded, so that at least two of the electrical connection terminals are energized.

[0009] Thus, by controlling at least one electrical connection terminal to output an electrical pulse and at least one electrical connection terminal to be grounded, the electrical connection terminals can be energized and conduction can be formed by contacting the human body through the corresponding connected electrode group, thereby forming an electrical stimulation massage effect.

[0010] In some embodiments, among the simultaneously energized electrical connection terminals, the number of electrodes connected to the electrical connection terminal that outputs electrical pulses is less than the number of electrodes connected to the grounded electrical connection terminal.

[0011] Thus, the number of electrodes connected to the electrical connection terminal of the control output electrical pulse is less than the number of electrodes connected to the ground electrical connection terminal, which allows the user to feel the effect of circular massage more strongly.

[0012] In some embodiments, the number of electrodes in each electrode group is the same, the controller is used to control the pulse output unit to output the electrical pulse from one of the electrical connection terminals and control the two electrical connection terminals to be grounded, and the area of ​​the electrode is in the range of 1500mm2-2500mm2.

[0013] Thus, the area of ​​the electrode group connected to the electrical connection terminal of the control output electrical pulse is in the range of 1500mm2-2500mm2, so that the electrode group can support the operation of one output to two input electrodes.

[0014] In some embodiments, among electrical connection terminals with the same energizing time, the number of electrodes connected to the electrical connection terminal that outputs electrical pulses is equal to the number of electrodes connected to the grounded electrical connection terminal.

[0015] In this way, the number of electrodes connected to the control output electrical pulse and the grounded electrical connection terminal is the same, which can make the user's body feel more uniform and reduce strong stimulation.

[0016] In some embodiments, the working process of the electrical stimulation massager includes an initial stage and an intermediate stage. The electrode group connected to the electrical connection terminal that outputs electrical pulses is an output electrode group, and the electrode group connected to the grounded electrical connection terminal is an input electrode group. During the initial stage, the distance between any one of the output electrode groups and any one of the input electrode groups that are simultaneously turned on is less than a set distance. During the intermediate stage, the distance between at least one of the output electrode groups and at least one of the input electrode groups that are simultaneously turned on is greater than the set distance.

[0017] Thus, since the stimulation to the user is shallower when the output electrode group and the input electrode group are close together, the electrode group that is closer together is selected for conduction at the beginning of the massage as a warm-up; and the electrode group that is farther apart is selected for conduction in the middle of the massage to bring a stronger massage stimulation to the user.

[0018] In some embodiments, the time interval between two adjacent switching of the electrical connection terminals of the controller is in the range of 50ms to 500ms.

[0019] Thus, when the interval between each switch is within 50ms to 500ms, the electrical stimulation massager can effectively mimic the effect of circular massage.

[0020] In some embodiments, the time interval between two adjacent switching of the electrical connection terminals of the controller is in the range of 200ms to 400ms.

[0021] Thus, when the interval between each switch is within 200ms to 400ms, the electrical stimulation massager can better simulate the effect of circular massage, so as to avoid the user's body sensation being confused due to the short conduction time, and to avoid the electrode group switching being too slow due to the long conduction time, resulting in no sense of rotation.

[0022] In some embodiments, the envelope waveform of the electrical pulse includes a sine wave, a triangular wave, and a trapezoidal wave.

[0023] Thus, the time for the amplitude of the electrical pulse that forms envelope waveforms such as sine wave, triangular wave, and trapezoidal wave to increase from the median value to the maximum value is relatively long, so that the electrical pulse has a slow change process. When the electrical pulse acts on the electrode group, the intensity of the output current of the electrode group also has a slow change process, so that the switching of electrode conduction can be more smooth.

[0024] In some embodiments, the frequency of the electrical pulse is in the range of 1KHz to 6KHz, and the pulse width of the electrical pulse is in the range of 40us to 250us.

[0025] Thus, by limiting the frequency of the electrical pulse to between 1KHz and 6KHz and the pulse width to between 40us and 250us, the sensation on the muscles when the electrical pulse acts on the human body is more similar to the sensation when performing massage, thus providing users with an experience that is more in line with the massage technique.

[0026] In some embodiments, the electrostimulation massager is connected to the belt body, the electrode is strip-shaped, and the angle between the length direction of the electrode and the length direction of the belt body is in the range of 30 degrees to 60 degrees.

[0027] Thus, if the angle between the length direction of the electrode sheet and the length direction of the strip is too large or too small, the electrode sheet will form a straight line, causing the current to select the closer end between the conducting electrodes when conducting, resulting in uneven distribution; setting the electrode sheet at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees relative to the length direction of the strip can make the current conduction more uniform and the user's experience better.

[0028] In some embodiments, the electrode is strip-shaped, and the angle between the length directions of two adjacent electrode groups is in the range of 60 degrees to 90 degrees.

[0029] Thus, by controlling the angle between the length directions of the electrodes of two adjacent electrode groups to be within 60 to 90 degrees, the current conducted by the electrode sheet can be more concentrated, resulting in a better physical experience for the user.

[0030] An embodiment of the present invention provides an electrostimulation massager, the electrostimulation massager including a belt and an electrostimulation massager of any of the above embodiments, the electrostimulation massager being connected to the belt.

[0031] In this way, by controlling the pulse output section to sequentially switch the energized electrical connection terminals of the electrode group connected to the electrical connection terminal in a set direction, it is possible to create a different massage experience by analogy with the circular massage technique.

[0032] In some embodiments, the electrostimulation massager is a waist massager, and the plurality of electrode groups can be arranged in two circles. The plurality of electrode groups are spaced apart and are arranged corresponding to the positions of the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles of the human body, so as to perform alternating massage on the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles on both sides of the human body.

[0033] Thus, the electrode group is spaced apart and corresponds to the position of the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles of the human body, so that the electrical connection end can form a conduction with the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles through the electrode group, thereby stimulating the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles and performing rotational massage on the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles of the human body.

[0034] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description or may be learned by practice of the invention.

Implementation Method

[0041] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail. These embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0042] Electrical pulse massagers have advantages such as being small and portable, and having adjustable massage intensity, which can better meet the needs of various life scenarios and users. In related technologies, electrical pulse massagers use electrical stimulation to massage muscles and relieve fatigue, but the massage effect is singular and can easily cause user fatigue.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. An embodiment of the present invention provides an electrostimulation massager 100. The electrostimulation massager 100 includes a pulse output section 10, a base 20, a plurality of electrode groups 30 disposed on one side of the base 20, and a controller 40. The pulse output section 10 is used to output electrical pulses and includes a plurality of electrical connection terminals 11. Each electrode group 30 includes at least one electrode 31 electrically connected to the same electrical connection terminal 11. The plurality of electrode groups 30 are spaced apart and arranged in a circle. The controller 40 is used to control at least two electrical connection terminals 11 of the pulse output section 10 to be energized, so that the corresponding electrode group 30 contacts the human body to form a conduction and perform electrostimulation massage on the human body. The controller 40 is also used to control the pulse output section 10 to switch the energized electrical connection terminals 11 according to a set sequence, so that the plurality of electrode groups 30 are sequentially energized in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction to perform rotational massage on the human body.

[0044] Specifically, the electrical connection terminal 11 of the pulse output unit 10 is electrically connected to at least one electrode 31. Electrodes electrically connected to the same electrical connection terminal 11 form an electrode group 30. Multiple electrode groups 30 are spaced apart to avoid mutual interference when energized. Multiple electrode groups can form a closed circle, such as a circle, triangle, square, ellipse, polygon, etc. The controller 40 is used to control the energization of at least two electrical connection terminals 11 of the pulse output unit 10. The electrical connection terminal 11 is in contact with the human body through the electrode group 30. The human body is a conductor. The energized electrical connection terminal 11 is connected to the human body through the electrode group 30. When the electrical connection terminal 11 is energized, at least one electrical connection terminal 11 outputs current to the human body through the electrode group 30 to stimulate the human muscles and form a massage sensation. At least one electrical connection terminal 11 is at a low level to form a connection with the electrical connection terminal 11 that outputs current through the electrode group and the human body. The controller 40 is also used to control the pulse output unit 10 to switch the energized electrical connection terminals 11 according to a set sequence. That is, it controls at least one previously energized electrical connection terminal 11 to stop being energized and controls at least one new electrical connection terminal 11 to be energized. The new energized electrical connection terminal 11 is adjacent to at least one previously energized electrical connection terminal 11 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, so that multiple electrode groups 30 are sequentially energized in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, forming a rotating massage effect on the human body. In one embodiment, referring to FIG4, the controller 40 sequentially switches the energization of the electrical connection terminals 11 connecting electrode group A and electrode group B, the electrical connection terminals 11 connecting electrode group B and electrode group C, the electrical connection terminals 11 connecting electrode group C and electrode group D, and the electrical connection terminals 11 connecting electrode group D and electrode group A, so as to realize that multiple electrode groups 30 are sequentially energized in a clockwise direction, realizing a clockwise rotating massage effect on the human body. In this way, by controlling the pulse output unit 10 to sequentially switch the energized electrical connection terminals 11 of the electrode group 30 connected to the electrical connection terminal 11 in a set direction, it is possible to create a different massage experience by analogy with the circular massage technique.

[0045] In some embodiments, among the electrode groups 30 connected to electrical connection terminals 11 with adjacent conduction times, there is at least one identical electrode group 30.

[0046] Specifically, the pulse output unit 10 switches the energized electrical connection terminals 11 so that at least one different electrical connection terminal 11 is in contact with the human body through the electrode group 30. Among the electrical connection terminals 11 with adjacent conduction times, there is at least one identical electrical connection terminal 11, so that among the electrode groups 30 connected to the electrical connection terminals 11 with adjacent conduction times, there is at least one identical electrode group 30, so that when a rotating massage is formed, the rotating massage sensation formed on the user is more continuous and better analogous to the sensation of a circular massage. In one embodiment, referring to FIG4, the controller 40 first controls the electrical connection terminal 11 connecting electrode group A and electrode group B to be energized, and then switches to the electrical connection terminal 11 connecting electrode group B and electrode group C to be energized. In these two adjacent energized electrical connection terminals 11, the electrical connection terminal 11 connected to electrode group B is included.

[0047] Thus, at least one repeating electrode group 30 exists among the electrode groups 30 with adjacent conduction times, which can make the user's body sensation more continuous, so as to fit the body sensation of circular massage.

[0048] In some embodiments, the controller 40 is also used to control the pulse output unit 11 to output electrical pulses through at least one electrical connection terminal 11, and to control at least one electrical connection terminal 11 to be grounded, so that at least two electrical connection terminals 11 are energized.

[0049] Specifically, the controller 40 controls the pulse output unit 11 to output electrical pulses through at least one electrical connection terminal 11, so that the electrical connection terminal 11 outputs current to the human body through the connected electrode group 30. The electrode group 30 connected to the electrical connection terminal 11 is the output electrode group 32. The controller also controls at least one electrical connection terminal 11 to be grounded, so that current flows through the human body into the grounded electrical connection terminal 11. The electrode group 30 connected to the grounded electrical connection terminal 11 is the input electrode group 33. The electrical connection terminal 11 that outputs electrical pulses is energized with the grounded electrical connection terminal 11. Since there is a voltage difference between the two electrical connection terminals 11 and the human body is a conductor, the two electrical connection terminals 11 are connected to the human body through the output electrode group 32 and the input electrode group 33. Please refer to FIG2. In one embodiment, the pulse output unit forms an H-bridge corresponding to the two electrical connection terminals. That is, if there are 4 electrical connection terminals, there are 2 H-bridges to respectively connect the electrical connection terminals to output electrical pulses. The controller 40 controls the power supply to electrical connection terminals A and B by controlling the switching of the transistors in the H-bridge connecting electrical connection terminals A and B. The controller 40 controls the switching of transistor QA to turn on transistor Q1, and controls the switching of transistor QB to turn off transistor Q2, thereby controlling the connection of the electrical connection terminal 11 of electrode group A to the EMS_HV voltage input and outputting electrical pulses. The controller 40 controls the switching of transistor QC to turn off transistor Q3, and controls the switching of transistor QD to turn on transistor Q4, thereby controlling the grounding of the electrical connection terminal 11 of electrode group B, thus controlling the power supply to the electrical connection terminal 11 of electrode group A and electrode group B. Please refer to Figure 4, where the electrical connection terminal 11 of the grid-filled electrode group 30 outputs electrical pulses, and the electrical connection terminal 11 of the horizontally filled electrode group 30 is grounded. The controller 40 switches the electrical connection terminal 11 that outputs electrical pulses with the grounded electrical connection terminal 11 so that multiple electrode groups 30 are sequentially turned on in a clockwise direction to perform rotational massage on the human body.

[0050] Thus, by controlling at least one electrical connection terminal 11 to output electrical pulses and at least one electrical connection terminal 11 to be grounded, the electrical connection terminals 11 can be energized and conduction can be formed by the corresponding connected electrode group 30 contacting the human body, thereby forming an electrical stimulation massage effect.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 5. In some embodiments, the number of electrodes 31 connected to the electrical connection 11 that outputs electrical pulses is less than the number of electrodes 31 connected to the grounded electrical connection 11 in the simultaneously energized electrical connection 11.

[0052] Specifically, the human body has a stronger tactile sensation of the position of the electrode group 30 connected to the electrical connection terminal 11 of the output electrical pulse. Therefore, controlling the number of electrodes connected to the electrical connection terminal 11 of the output electrical pulse to be less than the number of electrodes connected to the grounded electrical connection terminal 11 can make the output current of the electrical connection terminal 11 of the output electrical pulse stronger, thereby forming a stronger massage effect on the human body. In one embodiment, referring to FIG5, the controller 40 controls the electrical connection terminal 11 connected to the grid-filled electrode group A to output electrical pulses, and the electrical connection terminals 11 connected to the horizontally filled electrode group B and electrode group D to be grounded, so that one electrical connection terminal 11 outputs electrical pulses and two electrical connection terminals 11 are grounded.

[0053] Thus, the number of electrodes 31 connected to the electrical connection terminal 11 controlling the output electrical pulse is less than the number of electrodes 31 connected to the grounded electrical connection terminal 11, which allows the user to feel the effect of circular massage more strongly.

[0054] In some embodiments, the number of electrodes 31 in each electrode group 30 is the same. The controller 40 is used to control the pulse output unit 10 to output an electrical pulse from one electrical connection terminal 11 and control the two electrical connection terminals 11 to be grounded. The area of ​​the electrode 31 is in the range of 1500mm2-2500mm2.

[0055] Specifically, the controller 40 is used to control the pulse output unit 10 to output electrical pulses from one electrical connection terminal 11 and control the two electrical connection terminals 11 to be grounded, so that the number of output electrode groups 32 is one and the number of input electrode groups 33 is two, which can form a stronger massage effect on the human body; the larger the area of ​​the electrode 31, the greater the current it can withstand, but if the area of ​​the electrode 31 is too large, it will cause unexpected stimulation of muscles. Therefore, the area of ​​the control electrode 31 is controlled to be in the range of 1500mm2-2500mm2, which can support the working condition of one electrical connection terminal 11 outputting electrical pulses and two electrical connection terminals 11 being grounded.

[0056] Thus, the area of ​​the electrode group 30 connected to the electrical connection terminal 11 of the control output electrical pulse is in the range of 1500mm2-2500mm2, so that the electrode group 30 can support the operation of one output to two input electrodes 31.

[0057] In some embodiments, among the electrical connection terminals 11 with the same energizing time, the number of electrodes 31 connected to the electrical connection terminal 11 that outputs electrical pulses is equal to the number of electrodes 31 connected to the grounded electrical connection terminal 11.

[0058] Specifically, in the simultaneously energized electrical connection terminals 11, the number of electrodes 31 connected to each electrical connection terminal 11 is the same, and the number of electrical connection terminals 11 for outputting electrical pulses is equal to the number of grounding electrical connection terminals 11, so that the number of electrodes 31 in the output electrode group 32 is the same as the number of electrodes 31 in the input electrode group 33.

[0059] In this way, the number of electrodes 31 connected to the control output electrical pulse and the grounded electrical connection terminal 11 is the same, which can make the user's body feel more uniform and reduce strong stimulation.

[0060] In some embodiments, the working process of the electrical stimulation massager 100 includes an initial stage and an intermediate stage. The electrode group 30 connected to the electrical connection terminal 11 that outputs the electrical pulse is the output electrode group 30, and the electrode group 30 connected to the grounded electrical connection terminal 11 is the input electrode group 30. During the initial stage, the distance between any output electrode group 30 that is simultaneously turned on and any input electrode group 30 is less than a set distance. During the intermediate stage, the distance between at least one output electrode group 30 that is simultaneously turned on and at least one input electrode group is greater than a set distance.

[0061] Specifically, the greater the distance between the output electrode group 32 and the input electrode group 33, the deeper the stimulation to the human muscles, and the stronger the massage sensation. At the initial stage of the operation of the electrical stimulation massager 100, the human body needs time to adapt to the massage. If a strong stimulation is applied at the beginning, it will cause discomfort. Therefore, at the beginning, the distance between all simultaneously activated output electrode groups 32 and input electrode groups 33 is less than the set distance. In the intermediate stage, the human body has adapted to the massage stimulation. Therefore, to achieve a better massage effect, the distance between simultaneously activated output electrode groups 32 and input electrode groups 33 can be greater than the set distance to bring a stronger massage sensation and create a more powerful massage force.

[0062] Thus, since the output electrode group 30 and the input electrode group 30 are closer together, the stimulation to the user is shallower. Therefore, at the beginning of the massage, the electrode group 30 that is closer together is turned on as a warm-up; at the middle of the massage, the electrode group 30 that is farther apart is turned on to bring a stronger massage stimulation to the user.

[0063] In some embodiments, the time interval between two adjacent switching of the electrical connection terminal 11 of the controller 40 is in the range of 50ms to 500ms.

[0064] Specifically, if the duration of energization of the electrical connection 11 during a single energization is too long, it will result in a longer massage time for the human body during a single session. The massage received by the human body from the electrode group 30 connected to the currently energized electrical connection 11 at the point of contact will be more continuous, providing a single-point massage. Each time the energized electrical connection 11 is switched, the human body will only feel a change in the position of the single-point massage, failing to create a circular massage sensation. If the duration of energization of the electrical connection 11 during a single energization is too short, the human muscles will not be able to generate a massage sensation from the electrical stimulation, resulting in a confused sensation. Therefore, when the interval between two adjacent switching of the energized electrical connection 11 is within the range of 50ms to 500ms, it can better simulate the effect of a circular massage.

[0065] Thus, when the interval between each switch is within 50ms to 500ms, the electrical stimulation massager 100 can well analogize the effect of circular massage.

[0066] In some embodiments, the time interval between two adjacent switching of the electrical connection terminal 11 of the controller 40 is in the range of 200ms to 400ms.

[0067] Specifically, the controller 40 controls the interval between two adjacent switching of the power-on electrical connection terminal 11 to be within the range of 200ms to 400ms, which can make the switching time of the power-on electrical connection terminal 11 moderate, so as to bring a better circular massage sensation to the user.

[0068] Thus, when the interval between each switch is within 200ms to 400ms, the electrical stimulation massager 100 can better simulate the effect of circular massage, so as to avoid the user's body sensation being confused due to the short conduction time, and to avoid the electrode group 30 switching too slowly due to the long conduction time, without the feeling of rotation.

[0069] In some embodiments, the envelope waveform of the electrical pulse includes a sine wave, a triangular wave, and a trapezoidal wave.

[0070] Specifically, the electrical pulses with envelopes of sine waves, triangular waves, and trapezoidal waves all have a longer time to increase the amplitude from the middle finger to the highest value in a single envelope waveform, and a longer time for the amplitude to change from the highest value to the middle finger. This allows the electrical pulse to have a slow change process in the beginning and end phases of a single envelope waveform. This also allows the intensity of the current output to the human body to have a slow change process when the electrical pulse is applied to the human body by the electrode group 30. This makes the physical sensation brought to the human body more soothing when the electrical connection terminal 11 switches on, without producing a sudden stimulation sensation, thus better simulating the sensation of circular massage.

[0071] Thus, the time for the amplitude of the electrical pulse that forms envelope waveforms such as sine wave, triangular wave, and trapezoidal wave to increase from the median value to the maximum value is relatively long, so that the electrical pulse has a slow change process. When the electrical pulse acts on the electrode group 30, the intensity of the output current of the electrode group 30 also has a slow change process, so that the switching of the electrode 31 can be more smooth.

[0072] In some embodiments, the frequency of the electrical pulse is in the range of 1KHz to 6KHz, and the pulse width of the electrical pulse is in the range of 40us to 250us.

[0073] Specifically, by controlling the frequency of the electrical pulse to be in the range of 1KHz to 6KHz and the pulse width of the electrical pulse to be in the range of 40us to 250us, when the electrical pulse acts on the electrode group 30, when the current output by the electrode group 30 stimulates the muscles of the human body, the muscles can produce a sensation similar to that of massage, thus analogous to the massage technique.

[0074] Thus, by limiting the frequency of the electrical pulse to between 1KHz and 6KHz and the pulse width to between 40us and 250us, the sensation brought to the muscles by the electrical pulse when it acts on the human body is more similar to the sensation when performing massage, thus providing users with an experience that is more in line with the massage technique.

[0075] In some embodiments, the electrostimulation massager 100 is connected to the belt 200, the electrode 31 is strip-shaped, and the angle between the length direction of the electrode 31 and the length direction of the belt 200 is in the range of 30 degrees to 60 degrees.

[0076] Specifically, if the angle between the length direction of the electrode 31 and the length direction of the band 200 is too large or too small, adjacent electrodes 31 will form a straight line. When the current is turned on in the electrode group 30, the current will selectively conduct to the closer ends of the electrodes 31 in different electrode groups 30, resulting in uneven current distribution. This makes the stimulation to the human body more intense for electrodes 31 with smaller spacing. Therefore, setting the angle between the electrode 31 and the length direction of the band 200 to within 30 degrees and 60 degrees can avoid uneven current distribution and bring a more uniform massage sensation to the user.

[0077] Thus, if the angle between the length direction of the electrode 31 and the length direction of the strip 200 is too large or too small, the electrode 31 will form a straight line, causing the current to select the closer end of the conducting electrode 31 when it is turned on, resulting in uneven distribution; setting the electrode 31 at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees relative to the length direction of the strip 200 can make the current flow more uniform and improve the user's experience.

[0078] In some embodiments, the shape of the electrode 31 is strip-shaped, and the angle between the length directions of the electrodes 31 of two adjacent electrode groups 30 is in the range of 60 degrees to 90 degrees.

[0079] Specifically, the angle between the electrodes 31 of two adjacent electrode groups 30 in the length direction is between 60 degrees and 90 degrees, which can prevent the electrodes 31 of two adjacent electrode groups 30 from forming a straight line in the length direction, thereby avoiding uneven current and bringing a better massage sensation to the user.

[0080] Thus, by controlling the angle between the length direction of the electrodes 31 of two adjacent electrode groups 30 to be within 60 degrees to 90 degrees, the current conducted by the electrode 31 can be more concentrated, resulting in a better user experience.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 3. An embodiment of the present invention provides an electrostimulation massager 1000, which includes a belt 200 and an electrostimulation massager 100 of any of the above embodiments. The electrostimulation massager 100 is connected to the belt 200.

[0082] In this way, by controlling the pulse output section 10 to sequentially switch the energized electrical connection terminals 11 of the electrode group 30 connected to the electrical connection terminal 11 in a set direction, it is possible to create a different massage experience by analogy with the circular massage technique.

[0083] In some embodiments, the electrical stimulation massager 1000 is a waist massager, with multiple electrode groups 30 arranged in two circles. The multiple electrode groups 30 are spaced apart and are positioned to correspond to the positions of the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles of the human body, so as to perform alternating massage on the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles on both sides of the human body.

[0084] Specifically, the waist massager includes multiple electrode groups 30 arranged in two concentric circles at intervals. The electrode groups 30 are positioned to correspond to the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles of the human body. When the controller 40 controls the electrical connection terminal 11 to be energized, the energized electrical connection terminal 11 forms a conductive connection with the human body through the connected electrode groups 30. When the electrical pulses output by the electrical connection terminal 11 act on the electrode groups 30, the electrode groups 30 output current to the human body, thereby providing electrical stimulation to the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles on both sides of the human body, analogous to the sensation of massage. The controller 40 switches the energized electrical connection terminal 11 so that the electrode groups 30 are energized alternately in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, thereby creating a circular massage sensation to the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles on both sides of the human body.

[0085] Thus, the electrode group 30 is spaced apart and corresponds to the position of the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles of the human body, so that the electrical connection terminal 11 can form a conduction with the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles through the electrode group 30, thereby stimulating the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles and performing rotational massage on the erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles of the human body.
