Description

  The present invention relates to a structure of an electronic medical device, and particularly relates to a configuration of an electrically conductive patch band, and more particularly to an electrically conductive flexible patch band that can be easily attached to each part of the body.

  With the recent development of science and technology and medicine, people are using many low frequency (or electric heating) electronic medical instruments recently. Such an electro-medical device performs appropriate stimulation (or heating) treatment for nerves or muscles by using a low frequency (frequency) (or heater) of electric current. Hereinafter, when taking a low-frequency treatment device currently used as an example, it is divided into percutaneous peripheral nerve electrical stimulation (TENS) and electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). In addition to suppressing the transmission of pain information by nerves using a small amount of electrical stimulation, it promotes the generation of endorphins from the cerebrum, thereby exerting a pain relieving effect, low back pain, cervical shoulder pain, muscle stiffness pain Can treat acute and chronic pain. Moreover, EMS belongs to the field | area which accelerates | stimulates the contraction of muscles, achieves the purpose of training and exercising muscles, and can exert a rehabilitation effect and an effect of relieving muscle stiffness pain.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional electronic medical instrument structural technology includes an electrical stimulation control host 91 and an electrical patch band 92 on the electrical stimulation control host 91 side. The band 92 is provided on one side or both sides of the electrical stimulation control host 91, and a conductive patch and an electrical stimulation circuit (not shown) are disposed in the conductive patch band 92, and the conductive patch band 92 is affixed. It has a bottom surface 921 and an upper surface 922, and both the bottom surface 921 and the upper surface 922 are flat, and the thickness of the conductive patch band 92 is formed therebetween. When the electronic medical device 90 is attached to or wrapped around a human body, nerve transmission can be performed to a local position of the body, or muscles can be stimulated.

  Although the above-described conventional electronic medical instrument structural technology can achieve its intended use purpose, the electronic medical instrument, when used, attaches its conductive patch band 92 to the human body, hand, thigh, etc. Even if the attachment bottom surface 921 is contact-attached to a human body part, an electrical stimulation action is generated by an electrical stimulation circuit provided in the conductive patch band 92. Therefore, in order to stick the conductive patch band 92 closely to the body part, it is necessary to bend or bend appropriately so that the conductive patch band 92 can be conveniently attached or wound. Since the conductive patch band 92 (between the sticking bottom surface 921 and the upper surface 922) has the same longitudinal section and a considerable dimensional thickness, the conductive patch band 92 has a relatively large curvature. Obviously, it is difficult to apply to the surface, which is clearly not an ideal design.

Furthermore, as a remedy for the above-mentioned drawbacks, there are some companies that complete the conductive patch band by reducing the material or reducing the thickness. However, if this is done, it may return and greatly affect the texture and aesthetics of the product.

  Referring to FIGS. 2 to 3, an embodiment of an electrically conductive flexible patch band suitable for application to the human body of the present invention will be described. The present invention is coupled to one side or both sides of a control host 100. A conductive patch band 10 (in this embodiment, the material is silicone), and the entire electronic medical device is attached to or wrapped around the human body, hand or thigh. The effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) or electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) by low frequency treatment, or the effect of muscle thermotherapy with an electric heater Achieve. In the following examples, a low-frequency treatment percutaneous peripheral nerve electrical stimulator will be described as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this. Among them, the plurality of ridges 12 and the plurality of ridges 14 on the surface of the conductive patch band 10 are arranged in an interlaced / alternate manner so as to form a continuous coupled combination band, that is, The electrically conductive patch band 10 is formed by continuously connecting and connecting the protruding strips 12 to the concave strips 14 and then connecting and connecting to the convex strips 12 and the concave strips 14 again. It becomes the composition of. The conductive patch band 10 is provided with a conductive patch and an electrical stimulation circuit (not shown) that are electrically connected to each other, so that an electrical stimulation effect can be obtained when the conductive patch band 10 is applied to a human body. It is done.

  The conductive patch band 10 (the ridges 12 and the recesses 14) has a bottom surface 20 and an upper surface 30, and the bottom surface 20 is a flat face, that is, the ridges 12 and the recesses. The strip 14 forms the same reference bottom surface 20, and the upper surface 30 is a combination of uneven surfaces, that is, a substantially corrugated surface or a height combination. The upper surface 30 of the ridge portion 12 has an arc-convex shape (but is not limited to this), and the ridge portion 12 forms the highest ridge peak 121 on the arc-convex surface. And although the said protruding item | line peak part 121 is normally located in the center position of the surface where the said protruding item | line part 12 has an arc convex shape, it is not limited to this. The recess 14 forms the lowest recess valley bottom 141 on the upper surface 30, and the recess valley bottom 141 usually has a concave surface, but is not limited thereto.

  Since the upper surface 30 of the conductive patch band 10 is arranged in an alternating manner so that the upper surfaces of the ridges 12 and the ridges 14 are formed in a continuous combination, the upper surface 30 30. The arc-convex surface (convex ridge peak 121) and the concave surface (concave trough bottom 141) included in 30 are arranged in an alternating manner so as to form a continuous combination. Since each of the ridges 12 and the plurality of ridges 14 have a considerable thickness, the ridges 12 constituting the conductive patch band 10 become strips / band bodies having an arc-convex shape. Moreover, the concave strip portion 14 constituting the conductive patch band 10 is a strip having an arc concave shape, and the thickness of the convex strip portion 12 (the arc convex strip) is the concave strip portion 14 ( Greater than the thickness of the arc-concave strip).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the concave line portion 14 (concave valley bottom portion 141) has a thickness a, and the convex mountain peak portion 121 of the convex line portion 12 corresponds to the concave line portion 14 (concave valley bottom). The thickness a is increased with respect to the portion 141). That is, the thickness from the bottom surface 20 of the ridge portion 12 to the peak portion 121 of the ridge portion is 2 of the thickness of the concave portion 14 (concave valley bottom portion 141). Double thickness 2a. The ridge 12 (projection peak 121) has a thickness 2a, or the ridge 14 (concave bottom 141) has a thickness a, or the ridge. What is necessary is just to calculate and implement the average height of 12 and the concave strip part 14.

  The second embodiment of the conductive flexible patch band suitable for sticking to the human body of the present invention shown in FIG. 4 is an example of a modified design based on the basic structure of the first embodiment. The difference is that the ridges 12 are connected to the concave ridges 14 via the edge step 13, and the edge steps 13 are substantially vertical steps. Furthermore, the said groove part 14 (concave valley bottom part 141) has thickness b, for example, when the thickness from the said bottom face 20 to the said groove valley bottom part 141 (or average height) is set to b, The convex top part 121 of the convex part 12 increases the thickness a with respect to the concave part 14 (concave valley bottom part 141), that is, from the bottom surface 20 of the convex part 12 to the top of the convex part. The portion 121 has a thickness a + b. Further, for example, when a = 2b is set, the thickness of the convex mountain top 121 is three times the thickness of the concave valley bottom 141, or the above convex ridge 12 (convex The ridge top 121) may have a thickness 3b, or the average height of the ridge 12 may be calculated. That is, in an appropriate embodiment, if the thickness of the ridge portion 12 is calculated based on the ridge mountain peak portion 121, the ridge portion 12 is formed on the concave portion 14 (concave valley bottom portion 141). On the other hand, the ridge portion 12 is three times, four times, or five times or more the thickness of the ridge portion 14 (concave valley bottom portion 141) in the same manner as having at least twice the thickness. have. As in these configurations, the conductive patch band 10 can be further easily bent and bent, and as shown in FIG. 5, the conductive patch band 10 is bent to have an arc concave shape in a downward direction. And bending operations can be performed.

Referring to these drawings in combination, as shown in FIG. 6, the electronic medical instrument includes the control host 100 and conductive patch bands 10 located on both sides thereof, and the electronic medical instrument is connected to a spinal region of a human body. Since the spinal region 200 itself has an arc curvature when it is attached to 200, it is possible to perform a more convenient and closely attaching operation by giving further bending characteristics to the conductive patch band 10, and the electric The use effect of the stimulus can be demonstrated. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the electromedical device is attached to the shoulder part 300 of the human body, the shoulder part 300 has a further arc curvature than the spine part 200. Since it can be conveniently and closely attached to the shoulder portion 300 according to the flexural characteristics, its practical effect can be positively exhibited.
