Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention is mainly about a device that can provide cold compresses to relieve muscle and eye fatigue. Prior Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology, people's reading habits have gradually evolved from looking at paper and books to looking at electronic display devices, such as mobile phones and computers. Taking mobile phones as an example, they can be said to be the electronic display devices that modern people use for the longest time. However, mobile phone screens have problems such as small display area and strong backlight, which can easily cause eye fatigue after prolonged use. Therefore, it is very important to give your eyes a proper rest and relieve fatigue.

[0003] Besides closing your eyes, common ways to relieve eye fatigue include heating a towel or cooling it in the refrigerator for hot or cold compresses, or purchasing a soothing device. A common soothing device is the "Massage Device (IV)" in Taiwan Patent Publication No. I614012, which is a soothing device equipped with a cooling system. Generally, such devices with a cooling system have a pipe connected to the outside of the device, and the pipe is connected to a pump and a water container to facilitate water circulation with the internal cooling system for heat dissipation. However, the external pipe, pump, and water container undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of carrying it, making it quite inconvenient to carry.

[0004] As can be seen from the above, if a soothing device is to be equipped with a cooling function, it must be connected to an external pump and a water container, which makes the soothing device difficult to carry. How to solve this problem is a problem that all manufacturers urgently need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention utilizes a temperature regulating device with a first water chamber and a second water chamber, allowing the temperature control unit to contact the water inside the first and second water chambers on both sides respectively. This enables the invention to control the water temperature and dissipate heat from the temperature control unit with only one circulating water path, eliminating the need for the complex structure required by traditional products to achieve its function. Compared with traditional products, this invention is indeed more advantageous and possesses novelty and progress.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives and effects, the present invention provides a health care device with a single circulating water path, comprising: a housing; a temperature regulating device located inside the housing and including a first water chamber, a second water chamber, and a temperature control unit, one side of the temperature control unit facing the interior of the first water chamber and the other side of the temperature control unit facing the interior of the second water chamber; a water bag located inside the housing; a water container located inside the housing; a water pump forming a circulating water path with the first water chamber, the second water chamber, the water bag, and the water container; and a control module electrically connected to the temperature control unit and the water pump.

[0007] Furthermore, one end of the first water chamber is connected to the water container and the other end is connected to the water pump; one end of the second water chamber is connected to the water bag and the other end is connected to the water pump; and the water container is connected to the water bag. Simple Explanation of the Diagram

[0008] The first figure is a schematic diagram of the circulating water circuit of the present invention. The second figure is a block diagram of the circuit architecture of the present invention. Implementation

[0009] For a more detailed understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, please refer to the accompanying drawings, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. A health care device with a single circulating water path includes: a housing 1; a temperature regulating device 2 located inside the housing 1 and including a first water chamber 21, a second water chamber 22, and a temperature control unit 23, one side of the temperature control unit 23 facing the interior of the first water chamber 21 and the other side of the temperature control unit 23 facing the interior of the second water chamber 22; a water bag 4 (for attaching to the user's eyes) located inside the housing 1; a water container 5 located inside the housing 1; a water pump 6 forming a circulating water path 7 with the first water chamber 21, the second water chamber 22, the water bag 4, and the water container 5; and a control module 8 electrically connected to the temperature control unit 23 and the water pump 6.

[0010] Continuing from the above, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail. In this embodiment, the order of each component in the circulating water circuit 7 can be referred to the first figure in the diagram. Taking the first water chamber 21 as an example, one end is connected to the water container 5 and the other end is connected to the water pump 6, one end of the second water chamber 22 is connected to the water bag 4 and the other end is connected to the water pump 6, and the water container 5 is connected to the water bag 4. This embodiment is for the convenience of understanding that the implementation of the circulating water circuit 7 is not the only configuration order. For example, in actual applications, the inlet and outlet ends of the water pump 6 can also be connected to the water bag 4 and the second water chamber 22 respectively, and the first water chamber 21 and the second water chamber 22 can be directly connected.

[0011] Continuing from the above, this invention utilizes the structure of the temperature regulating device 2, which has a first water chamber 21 and a second water chamber 22, so that the temperature control unit 23 can contact the water inside the first water chamber 21 and the second water chamber 22 on both sides respectively. This allows the invention to achieve water temperature control and heat dissipation of the temperature control unit 23 with only one circulating water path 7. For example, if the temperature control unit 23 is a cooling chip, and the control module 8 issues a cooling command to the temperature control unit 23, then the side of the control module 8 facing the second water chamber 22 will cool down, and the side facing the first water chamber 21 will heat up. In this way, when the water flows through the second water chamber 22, it will cool down, resulting in the water flowing into the water bag 4 having an ice-cold effect. The cooled water then flows through the water container 5 into the first water chamber 21. The temperature control unit 23 is cooled down on the side that is heated, thus preventing it from overheating. Conversely, if the control module 8 issues a heating command to the temperature control unit 23, the side of the control module 8 facing the second water chamber 22 will heat up, and the side facing the first water chamber 21 will cool down. In this way, the water will heat up when it flows through the second water chamber 22, so that the water flowing into the water bag 4 has a hot compress effect. Since the water cools down before flowing through the first water chamber 21, it can prevent the water flowing through the second water chamber 22 from heating up indefinitely. In summary, this invention does not require the complex structure of traditional products to achieve its function. Compared with traditional products, this invention is indeed more advantageous and has novelty and progress.

[0012] The above description is merely for explaining preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Therefore, any modifications or alterations made to the present invention under the same inventive spirit, which are other forms that can be implemented and have the same effect, should still be included within the scope of protection intended by the present invention.

[0013] In conclusion, the present invention, "Health Care Device with Single Circulation Water Path," is indeed in line with the needs of industrial development in terms of practicality and cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, the disclosed structural invention is an unprecedented innovative structure, so its "novelty" is beyond doubt. Moreover, the present invention can enhance efficacy compared to conventional structures, thus also possessing "progressiveness." It fully meets the requirements for application of invention patents under the Patent Law of our country, and therefore, a patent application is filed in accordance with the law. We respectfully request that your office examine it as soon as possible and grant your approval.
