Abstract

A portable one-piece therapeutical apparatus with dual heating and low-frequency treatment functions includes a main unit having an accommodating space and a patch portion; a control means installed in the accommodating space and including a printed circuit board assembly with an operating component for controlling low-frequency pulses and a heating operation, an electrical connector installed at the front of the printed circuit board assembly for charging a battery and reading, writing and transmitting data; at least one heating means installed at the main unit and electrically coupled to the printed circuit board assembly for producing a heating effect; at least one low-frequency electrode layer disposed under the patch portion and electrically coupled to the printed circuit board assembly for transmitting low-frequency pulses; and a battery installed in the accommodating space and directly and electrically coupled to the printed circuit board assembly for supplying power to the patch therapeutical apparatus.

Claims

1. A portable one-piece therapeutical apparatus with dual heating and low-frequency treatment functions, comprising:

a main unit, being in a one-piece form from injection molded and including a main body portion and patch portions extended separately and outwardly from both sides of the main body portion, and the main body portion having an accommodating unit, and the accommodating unit having an accommodating space;

a control means, installed in the accommodating space, and including a printed circuit board assembly, having an operating component installed on the printed circuit board assembly for controlling heating and low-frequency pulse;

a heating means, installed under the main body portion, and including a heating plate, and the heating plate having a heating circuit pattern formed thereon and the heating circuit pattern having an electrical contact terminal electrically coupled to the printed circuit board assembly for the controlling of the heating, and an attaching layer being disposed under the heating circuit pattern and having a carrying portion being undercut shape for carrying and positioning the heating circuit pattern;

at least two low-frequency electrode layers, disposed under the patch portions respectively and each layer including a conductive rubber layer, a positioning portion disposed on the conductive rubber layer, an output control wire disposed above the conductive rubber layer the wire having and positioned by a positioning portion at the positioning portion of the conductive rubber layer, and the output control wire having an inner electrode contact terminal and an outer electrode output terminal, and the electrode contact terminal being electrically coupled to the printed circuit board assembly, and the electrode output terminal being provided for transmitting the low-frequency pulse output to perform a low frequency treatment; and

a battery, installed in the accommodating space, and directly and electrically coupled to the printed circuit board assembly for supplying power to the therapeutical apparatus.

2. The portable one-piece therapeutical apparatus with dual heating and low-frequency treatment functions according to claim 1, wherein the accommodating space has a display cover formed at the top of the accommodating space, and the display cover has a plurality of switches and a plurality of display windows disposed thereon, and wherein one switch of the plurality of switches is electrically coupled to the control means and is a starter switch or a heating switch.

3. The portable one-piece therapeutical apparatus with dual heating and low-frequency treatment functions according to claim 2, wherein the accommodating space includes a port space at the front of the accommodating space, a connector cover installed at the top of the port space and coupled to the display cover, an electrical connector disposed at the front of the printed circuit board assembly and provided for charging the battery and reading, writing and transmitting data.

4. The portable one-piece therapeutical apparatus with dual heating and low-frequency treatment functions according to claim 1, wherein the control means includes a wireless transceiver unit installed therein and a wireless remote controller operating with the wireless transceiver unit to display various control and operations.
