Description

Electrode-replaceable electrical stimulator {Electrode-replaceable electrical stimulator}

The present invention relates to an electrical stimulator, and particularly to an electrode-replaceable electrical stimulator suitable for providing a hygienically clean electrical stimulator by allowing used electrodes to be replaced.

In general, an electric stimulator (or electric massager or low-frequency stimulator) is a type of device used for skin care, skin stimulation, or skin health that stimulates local areas of the human body using electric pulses.

On the front of this electrical stimulator, electrodes that contact the skin are integrally formed with a cover plate (cover pad) on the front so that they cannot be separated.

Typically, these electrodes are formed by insert injection molding on the front cover plate.

However, in the case of manufacturing the electrode in such a way that it is integrally fixed to the front cover plate, there was the following problem.

First, the production yield of double injection manufacturing using insert injection was not high, and the production cost of insert injection was relatively high, so there was a problem of increasing production costs.

Also, when used for a long time, there was a problem of cracks occurring in the resin part of the front plate due to stress and fatigue.

Additionally, a slight gap was created between the injection resin front plate and the electrode, and the massage essence was caught in this gap, resulting in poor hygiene and an unsightly appearance.

Unlike this all-in-one type, there was a technology to replace the entire head cartridge module including the electrodes.

This technology for replacing the entire head cartridge module had the following problems.

That is, in an electric stimulator in which electrodes are formed integrally with a head cartridge module, the structure of the head cartridge module is complicated.

By printing and applying electrodes on flexible polyimide plastic material, cartridges had to be used, which meant that the price was expensive, the structure was complex, and the production cost was bound to rise in terms of materials and processes.

Additionally, a large amount of consumable cartridge modules were discarded, generating a large amount of environmental waste.

This means, in particular, do not use a professional tool such as a driver to separate the electrodes 121, 122, 123 attached to the main body casing 101 (e.g. front plate 110) or the handpiece 210, 220 (e.g. front part 211, 221). This means that it can be easily separated without any need.

As a specific example, the electrodes 121 and 122 are detachably provided on the front of the main body casing 101 or the handpiece 210 and 220, and are in contact with the user's body part, such as the face, which is the target of stimulation, and the main body module.
