In some examples, treatment head 1 may include a housing 11 and a flexible membrane 12 (see fig. 1A and 1B). A flexible membrane 12 may be provided to the housing 11 and may be used to contact the skin surface of a user. While the user is massaging with the treatment head 1, the user may hold the treatment head 1 to at least partially conform the flexible membrane 12 to the skin surface of the user.

Fig. 2A is a cross-sectional view of the treatment head 1 of fig. 1A along a-a'; fig. 2B is a cross-sectional view of the treatment head 1 of fig. 1A along the direction B-B'.

In some examples, the housing 11 may be cylindrical, optionally the housing 11 is generally elliptical. In this case, the housing 11 has an elliptical cross section along the radial direction, so that the user can hold the housing 11 by hand, and the elliptical cylindrical shape of the housing 11 can conform to the shape of the user's hand more, thereby facilitating the user to hold the treatment head 1.

In some examples, the housing 11 may have a chamber 111, a first opening 112, and a second opening 113 (see fig. 2A and 2B). The first opening 112 and the second opening 113 may be respectively in communication with the chamber 111. The first opening 112 may be used to communicate with an external air pressure adjustment mechanism (described later). The second opening 113 may be covered with a flexible film 12 (described later). In some examples, the flexible membrane 12 has an air vent 121 (described in detail later), and the chamber 111 forms a relatively airtight space when the first opening 112 is connected to the air pressure regulating mechanism and the flexible membrane 12 covers the second opening 113. In this case, a variable negative pressure can be formed in the chamber 111 by the air pressure adjusting mechanism, and when the flexible film 12 is at least partially attached to the skin, the skin corresponding to the air hole can be moved into the chamber under the influence of the negative pressure, thereby achieving the effect of massaging the user.

In some examples, the first opening 112 and the second opening 113 may be located at opposite ends of the housing 11, respectively. In some examples, the first opening 112 and the second opening 113 may be located at opposite ends of the housing 11 in the axial direction, respectively. In other words, the first opening 112 may be located at the L1 end of the housing 11 (see fig. 2A), and the second opening 113 may be located at the L2 end of the housing 11 (see fig. 2A). In this case, the influence of the air pressure adjusting mechanism connected to the first opening 112 on the massage of the skin surface by the treatment head 1 can be reduced as much as possible. In some examples, the second opening 113 may be a kidney-shaped hole formed at an end of the housing 11. In some examples, as shown in FIG. 2A, the first opening 112 may be located on one side of the central axis L1-L2 of the housing 11.

In some examples, the treatment head 1 may have a grip slot 13 (see fig. 1A and 1B). The grip groove 13 may be formed between the first opening 112 and the second opening 113. The grip groove 13 may be formed by recessing a sidewall of the housing 11. The direction in which the grip groove 13 is recessed may be parallel to the plane in which the second opening 113 is located. In this case, the user can hold the treatment head 1 with his or her jaw in the holding groove 13, so that the user holds the housing 11 more stably, and the user can press the treatment head against the skin conveniently so that the treatment head can be fitted with the skin as airtight as possible.

In some examples, the extended track of the grip groove 13 may be U-shaped (see fig. 2B). In this case, the shape of the holding groove 13 can be more fitted to the shape of the user's hand, and thus the user can grasp the treatment head 1 conveniently.

In some examples, the treatment head 1 may have a switch setting portion 14 and a switch button 15 provided on the switch setting portion 14 (see fig. 1A and 1B). The switch installation portion 14 may have a flat plate shape. The switch setting portion 14 may be located at one side of the central axis L1-L2 of the housing 11. In some examples, as shown in fig. 1A and 2A, the switch arrangement 14 may be located on opposite sides of the first opening 112. The switch button 15 may be used to control the operating state of the air pressure regulating mechanism. In some examples, the housing 11 may have two switch buttons that are respectively provided on opposite sides of the switch setting portion 14 in the width direction of the switch setting portion 14. In other words, the housing 11 may have a switch button 15a and an on button 15B (see fig. 1A and 1B). The switch buttons 15a and 15b may switch opposite sides of the setting portion 14, respectively. Thereby, the user can control the massage of the treatment head by the switch button 15 at the time of the massage.

In some examples, the switch arrangement 14 may protrude from the housing 11. The switch setting portion 14 may be gradually tilted upward in a direction away from the housing. In some examples, the switch arrangement 14 may be farther from the flexible membrane 12 than the grip slot 13. This can facilitate the user to operate the switch button on the switch setting unit 14 when holding the treatment head 1.

In some examples, the treatment head 1 may also have a reinforcement 16 (see fig. 1A and 1B). The reinforcement portion 16 may be formed by protruding outward from the side wall of the housing 11. The reinforcement portion 16 may be located above the grip groove 13. Thereby, the hand can be limited by the reinforcement portion 16, so that the user can clamp the hand in the holding groove 13 to hold the treatment head 1 conveniently.

In some examples, the housing 11 may have reinforcing ribs. The reinforcing ribs may be provided on the inner wall of the housing 11. The ribs may extend in the longitudinal and/or transverse direction. In this case, the strength of the side wall of the housing 11 can be increased by the reinforcing ribs, so that the housing 11 is prevented from being broken as much as possible when the negative pressure in the chamber 111 is changed.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a first view angle of the flexible film 12 according to the present embodiment example.

In some examples, flexible membrane 12 may be fitted to treatment head 11. In some examples, treatment head 11 may have a flexible membrane interface 115 thereon (see fig. 1C). In some examples, flexible membrane 12 may be mounted to treatment head 11 in a manner that covers flexible membrane interface 115. In some examples, a snap groove 122 (see fig. 3) may be provided on an edge of the flexible membrane 12. In some examples, the engagement groove 122 may engage with the second opening 113. Thereby, the flexible film 12 is easily attached to, detached from, and replaced from the housing 11.

In some examples, the flexible membrane 12 may be vented 121 (see fig. 3). The flexible membrane 12 may be provided with a plurality of air holes 121, for example, 1, 2, 3 or 4 air holes 121 may be provided. The area of the air hole 121 may be smaller than that of the second opening 113. In this case, the suction effect of the negative pressure in the chamber 111 to the skin through the air holes 121 can be facilitated, thereby achieving the massage effect of the treatment head 1 to the skin.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the physiotherapy instrument 100 according to this embodiment example.

As shown in fig. 4, in some examples, the physiotherapy instrument 100 may include a treatment head 1, a gas line 2, and a gas pump 3.

In some examples, treatment head 1 is treatment head 1 described above.

As described above, the first opening 112 of the treatment head 1 may be used for communication with an external air pressure regulating mechanism. In some examples, the air pressure adjustment mechanism may be an air pump 3. In some examples, one end of the gas line 2 may be connected to the first opening 112 of the treatment head 1 and the other end may be connected to the gas pump 3. In this case, the air pump 3 may be used to suck the air in the chamber 111 of the treatment head 1 through the air line 2 to change the magnitude of the negative pressure in the chamber 111, thereby enabling the air holes 121 on the flexible membrane 12 of the treatment head 1 to adsorb the skin to massage the skin.

In the treatment head 1 according to the present utility model, when the user engages the hand with the holding groove 13 of the housing 11, the shape of the holding groove 13 can be more fitted to the shape of the user's hand, so that the user can hold the treatment head 1 easily, and further the user can press the treatment head 1 against the skin so as to make the treatment head fit with the skin as much as possible; further, when the treatment head 1 massages the skin, the flexible film 12 is attached to the skin of the user, when the air pressure in the chamber 111 of the housing 11 is reduced, the skin can be adsorbed to the air holes 121 on the flexible film 12, and as the air pressure is further reduced, the skin adsorbed to the air holes 121 is stretched in the vertical direction by the negative pressure and the flexible film 12 is deformed along with the deformation of the skin, thereby playing a massage effect and the treatment head 1 is air-tightly attached to the skin through the flexible film 12.

While the utility model has been described in detail in connection with the drawings and examples thereof, it should be understood that the foregoing description is not intended to limit the utility model in any way.
