Abstract

The present invention relates to a portable low-frequency electrotherapy apparatus comprising a main body which comprises a universal serial bus (USB) port, a charging part to receive a charging voltage from the power pin of the USB port and a low-frequency signal generator electrically connected to a data pin of the USB port to supply a low-frequency signal through the data pin of the USB port; a low-frequency signal cable which comprises a low-frequency electrode connector at one end of the low-frequency signal cable electrically connected to the data pin of the USB port and an electrode pad at the other end to transmit a low-frequency signal to a human body; and a power cable which comprises a power supply connector at one end of the power cable electrically connected to the power pin of the USB port.

Claims

1. A portable low-frequency electrotherapy apparatus comprising:

a main body which comprises a universal serial bus (USB) port, a charging part electrically connected to a power pin of the USB port to receive a charging voltage from the power pin of the USB port and a low-frequency signal generator electrically connected to a data pin of the USB port to supply a low-frequency signal through the data pin of the USB port;

a low-frequency signal cable which comprises a low-frequency electrode connector at one end of the low-frequency signal cable to be connected to/disconnected from the USB port and electrically connected to the data pin of the USB port and an electrode pad at the other end to transmit a low-frequency signal to a human body; and

a power cable which comprises a power supply connector at one end of the power cable to be connected to/disconnected from the USB port and electrically connected to the power pin of the USB port, and a source connector at the other end to be electrically connected to an external power supply device.

2. The portable low-frequency electrotherapy apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the low-frequency electrode connector is electrically insulated from the power pin of the USB port of the main body, and the power supply connector is electrically insulated from the data pin of the USB port of the main body.

3. The portable low-frequency electrotherapy apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the source connector comprises a USB connector.

4. The portable low-frequency electrotherapy apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the source connector comprises a USB connector.

5. A portable low-frequency electrotherapy apparatus comprising:

a main body which comprises a port having two power pins and two data pins, a charging part electrically connected to the power pins of the port to receive a charging voltage from the power pins, and a low-frequency generator electrically connected to the data pins of the port to supply a low-frequency signal through the data pins of the port;

a low-frequency signal cable which comprises a low-frequency electrode connector at one end of the low-frequency signal cable to be connected to/disconnected from the port and electrically connected to the data pins of the port, and attachment pads at the other end to transmit a low-frequency signal to a human body; and

a power cable which comprises a power supply connector at one end of the power cable to be connected to/disconnected from the port and electrically connected to the power pins of the port and a source connector at the other end to be electrically connected to an external power supply device.
