The technical solution of the present invention will be further described with reference to the following embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1A is a perspective view of a neck massage apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, generally designated by reference numeral 1, including a holder 1A for straddling a neck and electrode taps 10 protruding from the holder 1A toward the neck side, the electrode taps 10 may include an electrode mount 100 and a gel electrode assembly 200 mounted to the electrode mount 100. In the example shown in fig. 1, the holder 1a is formed in an arc shape having an opening to facilitate engagement with the neck, the arc-shaped inner side surface of the holder 1a faces the neck when the neck massager 1 is in use, the electrode tip 10 protrudes from the inner side surface to extend in a direction facing the neck, and the overhanging end surface of the electrode tip 10 serves to conform to the neck, providing various modes of massage to the neck, such as vibration, EMS, and preferably also providing a hot compress therapy.
It will be appreciated that in other embodiments, as shown in figure 1B, the neck massager may further include a holder 1a on which an electrode mounting surface may be formed and a gel electrode assembly 200 directly mounted to the electrode mounting surface. In other words, in other embodiments, the neck massager may not need to provide the electrode mount 100, but may directly form the electrode mounting surface for mounting the gel electrode assembly 100 on the holder 1 a.
The present embodiment will be described by taking as an example that the neck massage apparatus includes the holder 1a and the electrode tip 10.
Fig. 2 and 3 show a perspective view and an exploded view, respectively, of one example of an electrode head 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from fig. 2, the electrode taps 10 include an electrode mount 100 and a gel electrode assembly 200 mounted to the electrode mount 100. In the electrode taps 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the electrode mount 100 has an arc-shaped mounting surface 100a (see fig. 3), and the gel electrode assembly 200 is detachably coupled to the mounting surface 100a of the electrode mount 100 to be attached to the mounting surface 100 a.
Fig. 4 illustrates an exploded view of one example of a gel electrode assembly 200 that may be used with the electrode taps 10 illustrated in fig. 2 and 3. As shown in fig. 4, the gel electrode assembly 200 includes a gel sheet 200a and an electrode carrier sheet 200b for carrying and electrically connecting the gel sheet 200 a. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the electrode slide 200b includes the flexible carrier 210, the flexible carrier 210 is formed in a sheet shape, and the gel sheet is used for contacting with the part of the human body to be massaged to realize the pulse electrical stimulation massage on the part of the human body neck to be massaged.
It can be seen that according to the embodiment of the present invention, both the gel sheet 200a and the flexible carrier 210 are soft and deformable, and when the gel electrode assembly 200 is assembled to the electrode mount 100, the gel electrode assembly 200 is deformed following the shape of the arc 100a of the electrode mount 100, i.e., the flexible carrier 210 and the gel sheet 20a are deformed into an arc shape that is adapted to the mounting surface, so that the gel electrode assembly 200 can be well fitted to the neck of a human body. Further, the gel electrode assembly 200 may be in a flat sheet shape in which it is naturally placed when the gel electrode assembly 200 is not mounted on the electrode mount 100, so that the gel sheets 200a of the two gel electrode assemblies 200 may be stored while being attached to each other, thereby preventing the surfaces of the gel sheets 200a from being stained with dust or losing moisture in the air due to long-term exposure. Therefore, the gel electrode assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention, and the electrode taps and the massage apparatus having the same, can improve the preservation of the gel sheet during non-use while securing the use performance.
In addition, since the flexible carrier 210 carries the gel sheet 200a, that is, the gel sheet 200a is completely attached to the flexible carrier 210, the flexible carrier 210 may be formed as a support structure of the gel sheet 200a to support the gel sheet 200 a. Meanwhile, since the flexible carrier 210 is detachably mounted to the mounting surface of the electrode mount 100, the gel sheet 200a can be attached to and detached from the mounting surface of the electrode mount 100 while following the flexible carrier 210 under the load of the flexible carrier 210. In other words, when the flexible carrier 210 is mounted on the mounting surface while the gel sheet 200a is also mounted on the mounting surface, the mounting surface can support the flexible carrier 210 and the gel sheet 200 a. When the flexible carrier 210 is detached from the mounting surface, the gel sheet 200a is also detached from the mounting surface at the same time, and the mounting surface no longer supports the flexible carrier 210 and the gel sheet 200 a.
The gel sheet 200a is adopted to synchronously realize connection and separation with the mounting surface along with the flexible carrier 210, so that the connection and separation of the gel sheet 200a and the mounting surface can be facilitated, a user does not need to manually position the gel sheet 200a on the mounting surface or the flexible carrier 210, and the user can conveniently replace the gel sheet 200a when the gel sheet 200a is dirty and damaged.
Although the electrode head 10 is described in the context of the present specification as including the gel sheet 200a, the concept of "electrode head" may not include the gel sheet in the present application, since the gel sheet may be manufactured and sold separately from the other components of the electrode head 10, while the inventive step of the present invention is not directed to the modification of the gel sheet itself.
Flexible carriers that can be used with embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below.
In some embodiments, the flexible carrier 210 may include a base layer 211 and a conductive layer 212 formed on a top surface of the base layer 211, as shown in fig. 5. The conductive layer 212 will be attached to the gel sheet 200a and used to form an electrical connection with the gel sheet 200 a.
In advantageous embodiments, the base layer 211 may be formed of a plastic film, such as a pvc (polyvinyl chloride) or pet (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic film. The base layer 211 adopts non-metal PVC or PET plastic film, so the cost is lower than that of metal, and no rust prevention measures are needed.
Preferably, the base layer 211 has a thickness of about 0.2-0.3mm, especially if the base layer 211 is formed using a non-metallic plastic film. The thickness of the base layer is within the range, so that the heat loss is small, a certain strength is kept, and the base layer is not easy to tear.
In an advantageous embodiment, the conductive layer 212 is formed on the base layer 211 by means of coating, printing or spraying, for example by coating, printing or spraying a conductive paint on the base layer. The conductive paint may be, for example, silver paint or copper paint, etc. In other advantageous embodiments, the conductive layer may be formed of conductive metal lines printed on the base layer 211. The conductive metal line may be, for example, a nano silver line. The nano silver wire may be a silver paste wire, for example.
In the example shown in fig. 5, the flexible carrier 210 may further include a heating layer 213 formed on the bottom surface of the base layer 211 for heating the gel electrode assembly. For example, the heating layer 213 is formed of a heating wire printed on the bottom surface of the base layer 211. According to the preferred embodiment shown in fig. 5, the gel electrode assembly 200 including the flexible carrier 210 can provide not only the EMS current but also a hot compress function.
The base layer 211 and the conductive layer 212 of the flexible carrier 210, the base layer 211, and the heating layer 213 may be riveted by rivets, respectively.
It should be noted that the electrically conductive layer and/or the heating layer of the flexible carrier may be provided only locally on the base layer, without necessarily spreading over the entire base layer surface.
It should also be noted that the flexible carrier used in the gel electrode assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the structure including the base layer and the conductive layer, etc., described in the above-described embodiment. As an example, the flexible carrier may be formed by a flexible metal mesh or a metal foil. Alternatively, the flexible carrier may be formed from a matrix of flexible material with a conductive material embedded throughout the matrix.
The electrode head according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a protective layer covering the heating layer of the electrode carrier for providing a protective and/or heat-insulating effect. The protective layer may be formed directly on the heating layer 213 of the flexible carrier sheet 210 or may be provided by a separate member. For example, fig. 6 illustrates a perspective view of another example of an electrode head according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the electrode head 10 further includes a protein leather 300 disposed between the electrode slide 200b and the electrode mount 100 for covering a heating layer of the electrode slide 200b to provide a protective and/or heat-insulating effect.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the electrode carrier for the gel electrode assembly and the electrode taps may further include a connection member disposed on the flexible carrier for forming a detachable connection with a corresponding connection structure on the electrode mount receiving the gel electrode assembly.
The connection means on the flexible carrier of the electrode slide may form, for example, a resilient snap connection, a magnetic attraction connection or a male-female snap connection with the connection structure on the electrode mount.
