Description

Functional electrical and thermal protective gear

The present invention relates to a protective gear or clothing material, or a set of protective gear that can be wrapped on the skin, especially a wearable set of protective gear with electrotherapy and thermotherapy effects.

It is known that the common sports injuries, degeneration and other problems, coupled with the use of 3C electronic products lead to many bad postures, resulting in physical pain, such as aches, pain, numbness, etc. symptom. Once these symptoms occur, the patient will first use a patch, anti-inflammatory pain reliever, or massage to relieve the pain. However, these methods may not be completely cured, so they will seek professional treatment from a physical therapist, or under the evaluation of a physical therapist, patients can purchase physical therapy equipment or equipment to use electrotherapy or thermotherapy by themselves.

In the past, these equipments in electrotherapy or thermotherapy all have a protective gear and a low frequency therapy device. After the low-frequency therapy device is electrically connected to the protective gear, the current generated by the low-frequency therapy device is transmitted to the protective device, so that the electrodes on the protective device can perform physical therapy on the sore place of the patient. Because some protective gear products are mostly conductive textiles on the whole surface (such as the national patent certificate No. I685598, M583305, M583297), it is impossible to perform electrotherapy and thermal treatment for specific small areas and pathological parts. Some protective gears are made of stretch elastic cloth, so some electrode materials cannot be used on stretchable wearing devices (protectors) when they are stretched, because the electrode materials themselves are relatively brittle. Weak, it is easy to crack when used in electrotherapy and thermal treatment products, and it is not suitable for contact with the skin, causing allergies and burns.

The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the traditional deficiencies. The present invention uses silver fiber cloth, nano-silver wire, thermal transfer type conductive adhesive, conductive paste, and printing type conductive adhesive, and the conductive cloth made of these conductive materials, It is fixed on the body of the protective gear through various fixing methods such as cutting, lamination after adhesive, hot pressing after adhesive, high-frequency bonding, sewing, etc., and the traction of conductive cloth is used as a wire, a specific totem is used as an electrotherapy electrode, or It is a heating tablet for warming therapy. It is used to treat sub-healthy people and patients, or to train specific muscles to achieve the effects of relieving pain and strengthening the body.

Another object of the present invention is to design a single or a small amount of conductive patterns to meet various physiques of the masses. For example, fat people and thin people can achieve the same therapeutic effect.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a functional electrical and heat-conductive protective device, comprising: a main body, a conductive cloth and at least one electrode connecting part. The body is an elastic stretchable cloth with at least one joint part on it. The conductive cloth is arranged on one side of the main body, and the conductive cloth has a wire and at least one electrode part electrically connected with the wire. The electrode connecting portions are arranged on the body and are electrically connected to the conductive wiring through the body. Wherein, the electrode connecting part transmits the signal to the conductive cloth, so that the electrode part of the conductive cloth can produce the effect of electrotherapy or thermotherapy.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the conductive cloth is formed of silver fiber cloth, nano-silver wire, thermal transfer type conductive adhesive, conductive paste printed on organic hot melt adhesive or conductive paste.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the electrode portion of the conductive cloth is a porous, discontinuous surface or mesh-like hollow structure.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the brace is a wrist strap, a butterfly-shaped knee brace or a shoulder brace.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the body has a through hole through which the joint part passes, and a devil felt is provided on one side of the joint part.

In an embodiment of the present invention, a wing shape on one side of the main body has two engaging parts, and one side surface of the two engaging parts is provided with a devil felt.
