Abstract

The present invention relates to a functional health band, including a health band unit configured to have a first pocket formed at a center of a body, wherein the first pocket has an opening having a rear side thereof opened, and to have first and second fastening units provided at both ends of the body and a main body inserted into the first pocket in attachable and detachable manners and configured to comprise a low frequency generation unit for generating a low frequency and a heat generation unit for generating hot heat. If sweat is soaked in or alien substances are adhered to the health band unit after the functional health band is used for a specific duration of time, the main body can be separated from the health band unit and washed sanitarily.

Claims

1. A functional health band, comprising a health band unit 110 configured to have a first pocket 118 formed at a center of a body 112, wherein the first pocket 118 has an opening 118b having a rear side thereof opened, and to have first and second fastening units 114 and 115 provided at both ends of the body 112 and a main body 120 inserted into the first pocket 118 in attachable and detachable manners and configured to comprise a low frequency generation unit 122 for generating a low frequency and a heat generation unit 123 for generating hot heat,

wherein the main body 120 comprises a low frequency generation unit 122 provided within a housing 121 and configured to generate the low frequency, a heat generation unit 123 configured to generate the hot heat, a first control unit 124 configured to control the low frequency generation unit 122 and the heat generation unit 123, a first power source unit 125 configured to supply a driving power source to the first control unit 124, a manipulation unit 126 configured to control a driving of the low frequency generation unit 122 and the heat generation unit 123, a display unit 127 configured to display driving states of the low frequency generation unit 122 and the heat generation unit 123, and electrode terminals 128 provided on a rear side of the housing 121 and configured to output a signal of the low frequency to the low frequency electrode pad 129;

and

the main body 120 is controlled by remote control means 200, comprising a first wireless communication unit 130 configured to receive control signals for controlling the low frequency generation unit 122 and the heat generation unit 123 and a second wireless communication unit 230 configured to transmit the control signals to the first wireless communication unit 130 wirelessly.

2. The functional health band of claim 1, wherein the manipulation unit 126 comprises:

a low frequency generation button 126a and a thermotherapy button 126b for manipulating the driving of the low frequency generation unit 122 and the heat generation unit 123,

a control button 126c for controlling a range of the low frequency of the low frequency generation unit 122 and setting temperature of the heat generation unit 123, and

a first power switch 126d for manipulating the input of the driving power source to the first power source unit 125.

3. The functional health band of claim 1, wherein the first power source unit 125 comprises:

a charger 125a embedded within the housing 121, and a jack insertion hole 125b configured to have a coupling jack of an adapter for converting commercial power into DC power connected thereto.

4. The functional health band of claim 1, wherein:

the remote control means 200 comprises a remote controller 210 configured to control the driving of the low frequency generation unit 122 and the heat generation unit 123 of the main body 120 and a band 220 configured to have the remote controller 210 fixed thereto and to be worn in a wrist of a user; and

the remote controller 210 comprises a manipulation display unit 212 provided in a casing 211 and configured to manipulate the driving of the low frequency generation unit 122 and the heat generation unit 123 of the main body 120 and to display a setting state, a second control unit 213 configured to output the control signals for controlling the low frequency generation unit 122 and the heat generation unit 123 by way of a manipulation of the manipulation display unit 212, the second wireless communication unit 230 configured to wirelessly transmit the control signals to the first wireless communication unit 130 of the main body 120, a second power source unit 214 configured to supply the driving power source to the second control unit 213, and a second power switch 215 configured to manipulate the input of the power to the second power source unit 214.

5. The functional health band of claim 4, wherein the manipulation display unit 212 comprises a touch screen configured to be capable of key input and to display control and setting states of the second control unit 213.

6. The functional health band of claim 4, wherein the remote controller 210 further comprises:
