It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of an embodiment of an electrode assembly 100 applied to an electrical stimulation massager.

The electrode assembly 100 includes a conductive substrate 10 and a conductive contact layer 20 that are stacked, and the conductive substrate 10 and the conductive contact layer 20 are in surface contact and electrically connected with each other.

Wherein the resistivity of the conductive substrate 10 is smaller than that of the conductive contact layer 20, the conductive contact layer 20 is conductive in the lamination direction of the conductive substrate 10 and the conductive contact layer 20 and is insulated in the remaining direction except the lamination direction, and the conductive contact layer 20 is used for contacting with the human body when the electric stimulation massage apparatus is used.

When the conductive substrate 10 and the conductive contact layer 20 are not in laminated contact, a resistance value detected between any two points on one side of the conductive contact layer 20, which is far away from the conductive substrate 10, is a first resistance value; when the conductive substrate 10 and the conductive contact layer 20 are in laminated contact, the resistance value obtained by detecting again between two points where the first resistance value is obtained before is the second resistance value, and the second resistance value is smaller than the first resistance value; the conductive contact layer 20 is used to contact the human body when the electric stimulation massager is used.

Compared with the single use of the conductive contact layer 20, in the operation process of the conductive contact layer 20, the current flows on the conductive contact layer 20, and the resistance value between any two points on the conductive contact layer 20 is larger than the resistance value between two points at the corresponding position on the electrode assembly 100 provided by the present application, in other words, the overall resistance value of the single use of the conductive contact layer 20 is larger than the resistance value of the electrode assembly 100 provided by the present application, so that a part of the electric energy is dissipated to the electric resistance of the single use of the conductive contact layer 20 during the operation, which causes electric energy waste and low utilization rate of the electric energy.

Based on this, under the condition that the electric quantity of the power supply is the same, the energy consumption of the conductive contact layer 20 used alone is larger, the corresponding power supply is charged relatively more frequently, and further the service life of the power supply is relatively shortened.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the resistivity of the adopted conductive base material 10 is smaller than the resistivity of the conductive contact layer 20, after the conductive base material 10 is powered on, the current firstly flows through the conductive base material 10 and then flows to the conductive contact layer 20, that is, the conductive base material 10 with smaller resistivity is adopted as the power supply end of the conductive contact layer 20, and compared with the case of singly using the conductive contact layer 20 as an electrode, the overall resistance value of the electrode assembly 100 is smaller, the energy consumed by the resistance is smaller, and more energy is used in physical therapy for a human body, so that the resistance of the electrode assembly 100 provided by the present application is smaller, and the energy utilization rate is higher.

Referring to fig. 2, the conductive contact layer 20 includes conductive particles 21 and an elastic matrix 23, the elastic matrix 23 is provided with a plurality of pores 230 extending along the stacking direction, the conductive particles 21 are filled in the pores 230, the conductive particles 21 are in electrical contact with the conductive substrate 10, and the conductive particles 21 guide current to the skin of the human body to perform physical therapy on a local area of the human body.

Elastic matrix 23 can be elastic materials such as silica gel layer, rubber layer, and elastic matrix 23 has good flexibility, and deformability is strong, and then can be used to different application scenarios, for example as the physiotherapy electrode on the cervical vertebra electro-stimulation massage appearance, can warp along with the deformation of cervical vertebra electro-stimulation massage appearance to the cervical vertebra of the human body of adaptation difference. The elastic matrix 23 itself has a weak electric conductivity and a large electric resistivity, and the conductive particles 21 are filled in the pores 230 of the elastic matrix 23, so that the electric conductivity of the conductive contact layer 20 in the stacking direction is strong and the electric conductivity thereof in the remaining directions other than the stacking direction is weak, and the resistance value between any two points on the side of the conductive contact layer 20 away from the conductive base material 10 in the electrode assembly 100 is further reduced.

The conductive particles 21 can be at least one of silver, gold, silver-coated copper, zinc and titanium, and the conductive particles 21 of various types not only have the conductive function, but also have the bactericidal function, and have good skin-friendly performance on human skin, thereby having good safety on human body.

The conductive contact layer 20 may also be a conductive silica gel, which has a relatively high resistivity, and after the conductive base material 10 serves as a power supply terminal of the conductive silica gel, the conductive base material 10 is equivalent to a wire between any two points on one side of the conductive silica gel departing from the conductive base material 10, so that compared with the case where the conductive silica gel is used as an electrode alone, the electrode assembly 100 provided by the present application has a relatively low resistivity and a relatively high energy utilization rate.

The conductive contact layer 20 may further contain a toner, such as titanium dioxide, which has a strong covering power, a strong coloring power and a good weather resistance, and the toner may modulate the color of the elastic matrix 23 into different colors to adapt to different applications, such as modulating the elastic matrix 23 into a color similar to human skin.

With reference to fig. 1, the conductive substrate 10 is one of conductive cloth, conductive foam and conductive metal foil, and the various conductive substrates 10 have good flexibility and strong deformability, and are suitable for different application scenarios.

For example, the conductive substrate 10 is a conductive cloth made of a woven cloth (e.g., a fiber cloth) by vacuum plating, and the plating metal may be nickel-copper alloy. The folding performance of the conductive cloth is good, the conductive cloth is not easy to crease after being folded or kneaded for many times, and the conductive cloth can not be broken due to stress fatigue even after being folded for many times.

The conductive substrate 10 and the conductive contact layer 20 are bonded by a conductive adhesive or press-fit to each other. For example, by using the conductive adhesive for connection, the conductive substrate 10 and the conductive contact layer 20 can be connected tightly and are not easy to separate; the conductive base material 10 and the conductive contact layer 20 can be tightly connected by adopting the press-fit connection, the production efficiency is high, and after the press-fit connection, the conductive performance of the conductive contact layer 20 along the stacking direction is good, so that the overall resistance of the electrode assembly 100 is favorably reduced, and the energy utilization rate of the electrode assembly 100 is improved.

In the present embodiment, the thickness of the conductive contact layer 20 is 0.05mm to 0.1 mm. If the conductive substrate 10 and the conductive contact layer 20 are connected by using a conductive adhesive, the thickness of the conductive adhesive is set to be less than 0.05 mm. The above size limitation can satisfy the electrotherapy effect on the human body, and also make the entire thickness of the electrode assembly 100 thinner and the resistance smaller, which is advantageous to improve the energy utilization rate of the electrode assembly 100.

Referring to fig. 3 to 5, the electrode assembly 100 further includes a heat generating layer 30, the heat generating layer 30 is stacked on the conductive substrate 10, the heat generating layer 30 is in surface contact with and electrically connected to the conductive substrate 10, and the heat generating layer 30 is located on a side of the conductive substrate 10 away from the conductive contact layer 20.

The heat generating layer 30 generates heat after being electrified, and when the conductive contact layer 20 is in contact with the human body, the heat generating layer 30 conducts heat to the human body through the conductive substrate 10 and the conductive contact layer 20, so as to perform thermal therapy and electrotherapy on the human body at the same time. And, the conductive contact layer 20 becomes soft by heat, the flexibility of the electrode assembly 100 can be further enhanced.

The heating layer 30 may be made of nanocarbon and graphene, or may be made of heating ceramic (barium titanate), which is not limited in this application.

The layer 30 that generates heat is the arc setting to be provided with in the arc top position and dodge mouthful 31, and then will generate heat the layer 30 and separate into two half arc regions, electrically conductive substrate 10's quantity is two, and range upon range of setting up respectively in the regional one side of corresponding half arc, and two electrically conductive contact 12 of electrically conductive substrate 10 expose from dodging mouthful 31 for connect the positive negative pole of power respectively.

The conductive substrate 10 connected to the positive electrode guides current to the human body through the conductive contact layer 20, and the current flows to the conductive substrate 10 connected to the negative electrode through the human body, thereby constituting a complete current cycle and realizing thermal therapy and electrotherapy to the human body during the cycle.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the number of the conductive contact layers 20 is two, and the conductive contact layers are respectively stacked on the corresponding conductive substrates 10. Therefore, during production, the whole conductive contact layer 20 and the whole conductive substrate 10 can be connected together, and then the whole conductive contact layer 20 and the whole conductive substrate 10 which are formed into a plurality of required shapes and are arranged in a stacked mode can be conveniently cut, so that the production efficiency is improved.

In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 5, the conductive contact layer 20 is a unitary structure, and two conductive substrates 10 are stacked on the same conductive contact layer 20.

Optionally, a plurality of avoiding openings 31 may be further disposed on the heat generating layer 30, and a plurality of conductive substrates 10 may also be disposed, and the conductive contacts 12 of the plurality of conductive substrates 10 are exposed from the corresponding avoiding openings 31.

For example, two avoidance openings 31 are formed in the heat-generating layer 30, and three or four conductive substrates 10 may be correspondingly disposed, wherein the conductive contact 12 of one conductive substrate 10 is connected to the positive electrode of the power supply, and the conductive contacts 12 of the other conductive substrates 10 are connected to the negative electrode of the power supply.

Based on this, the present application further provides a cervical vertebra electrical stimulation massage apparatus 200, referring to fig. 6 to 8, fig. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the cervical vertebra electrical stimulation massage apparatus provided in the present application, fig. 7 is a schematic sectional structural diagram of the cervical vertebra electrical stimulation massage apparatus of fig. 6, and fig. 8 is a schematic exploded structural diagram of the cervical vertebra electrical stimulation massage apparatus of fig. 6.

The electrical stimulation cervical vertebra massager 200 comprises an elastic support 210 and the electrode assembly 100 as described above, wherein the electrode assembly 100 is arranged in the elastic support 210, and the conductive contact layer 20 protrudes from the elastic support 210 so as to be in contact with the skin of the neck of the human body.

Specifically, the cervical vertebrae electrical stimulation massage apparatus 200 includes a power source 220, an elastic support 210, and an electrode assembly 100. The power supply 220 can enable rechargeable batteries such as lithium batteries, button batteries or lead storage batteries, the power supply 220 supplies power for the electrode assembly 100, the elastic support 210 is arranged in an arc shape, the elastic support 210 has good elasticity, and the electrode assembly 100 also has good elasticity, so that the electrode assembly 100 can deform along with the elastic support 210 to adapt to different human necks, and therefore the cervical vertebra electrical stimulation massager 200 can be well attached and contacted with human skin, is large in contact area and has a good physical therapy effect on a human body.

This cervical vertebra electrostimulation massage appearance 200 still includes two arm lock 240, and power 220 sets up in arm lock 240, and two arm lock 240 connect respectively in the both ends of elastic support 210, and two arm lock 240 are and fold the setting to drop when avoiding cervical vertebra electrostimulation massage appearance 200 to wear in human neck.

Since the energy utilization rate of the electrode assembly 100 is relatively improved in the present application, the time period during which the power supply 220 is available is relatively increased, and thus the volume of the power supply 220 can be appropriately reduced to facilitate the miniaturization of the cervical vertebrae electrical stimulation massage apparatus 200.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the number of the conductive contact layers 20 is two, and the conductive contact layers are respectively stacked on the corresponding conductive substrates 10. The elastic support 210 is correspondingly provided with two windows 212, and the conductive contact layer 20 protrudes from the corresponding window 212 so as to be in contact with the skin of the human body.

In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 8, the conductive contact layer 20 is an integral structure, and two conductive substrates 10 are respectively stacked on the same conductive contact layer 20, so that the conductive contact layer 20 and the conductive substrates 10 can be mounted on the elastic support 210 together, thereby improving the mounting efficiency of the electrode assembly 100.

Being different from the situation of the prior art, the application discloses an electrode component applied to an electric stimulation massager and a cervical vertebra electric stimulation massager. Because the resistivity of the electrically conductive substrate who adopts is less than the resistivity of electrically conductive contact layer in this application, therefore electrically conductive substrate circular telegram back, the electric current flows through electrically conductive substrate earlier and flows to electrically conductive contact layer again, adopts the electrically conductive substrate that resistivity is littleer as the power supply end of electrically conductive contact layer promptly, relatively speaking, electrode subassembly's whole resistance value is less, and the energy of resistance consumption is less, and more energy uses on the physiotherapy to the human body, therefore the resistance of the electrode subassembly that this application provided is less, and energy utilization is higher.
