[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The electronic cold / hot compress dual-purpose massaging device according to the present invention comprises a main body, first and second motors, a heat-dissipating piece, a thermoelectric element, and a silicone gel body.

The main body is provided with two first and second changeover switches. The first changeover switch controls the forward or reverse current of the thermoelectric element to generate cold or heat, and the second changeover switch. The switch is a temperature select switch that selects different temperatures by operating the switch.

The first motor drives a fan to be inoperative during the heat effect and to operate during the cold effect to discharge heat from the heat-dissipating holes on the periphery of the main body. The second motor connects the eccentric wheels and operates during hot compress to generate friction vibration.

A pair of upper and lower heat dissipating pieces are provided in a lower position inside the main body, and both sides of the heat dissipating piece are fixed to the opening of the bottom of the main body in a suspended state by bolts incorporating springs. The thermoelectric element is sandwiched between the upper and lower heat dissipating pieces, and both end surfaces thereof are in close contact with the upper and lower conductive pieces to generate cooling or heat conduction. The silicon gel body is such that the upper surface side of the convex block is joined to a hole pedestal opened at the bottom of the lower heat dissipation piece, and a convex grain is formed on the bottom surface of the main body.

After passing a current through the thermoelectric element, a cold / thermothermal effect is generated on both end surfaces thereof, and the upper and lower heat dissipating pieces conduct cold and heat respectively, and the lower or the lower conductive piece is cooled or heated. It comes into contact with the user's skin through the silicone gel body, and has the effect of rubbing and cold or hot compress.

【Example】

 The detailed features and operating functions of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, an electronic massager / heat compress both-integrated massaging device according to an embodiment of the present invention has a main body 1, and two change-over switches 11 and 1 at its end. There are two. Among them, the first changeover switch 11 is a three-phase double throw switch, which controls the conduction of the thermoelectric element current in the positive or reverse direction, whereby the thermoelectric element is heated (hot compress) or cold (cold compress). Generate a response. The other second changeover switch 12 is a temperature select switch, and a set of parallel heat sensitive switches T (provided between the lower heat dissipating pieces 22 to measure the heat compress temperature) senses the heat compress temperature. It controls whether the thermoelectric element 2 is conducting, and then controls the heat temperature.

The first motor M1 is fixed in the upper heat dissipating piece 21 installed inside the main body 1, and drives and rotates the eccentric wheel 15 to generate a vibration effect. The second motor M2 drives the fan 14 to rotate, and in the case of a cold compress, the hot air inside the main body 1 is slid and discharged through the heat dissipation holes 16 to perform a heat dissipation effect, thereby lowering the temperature of the cold compress.

Referring to FIG. 2, the thermoelectric elements 2 are sandwiched between the upper heat-dissipating pieces 21 and the lower heat-dissipating pieces 22 inside the lower stage of the main body 1 on the corresponding surfaces. The thermoelectric element 2 produces a temperature difference of about 60 ° C. at both end surfaces thereof after conducting a current, and thus a change of lower heat upper cold-hot compress (or upper heat lower cool-cold compress) is generated, respectively. , To the lower heat dissipation pieces 21 and 22. If the thermoelectric element is turned on and the direction of the current is changed, the temperature difference effect on both sides of the thermoelectric element immediately reverses. Separately, on both sides of the upper heat-dissipating piece 21, the bolt 3 is locked via the pair of springs 6 to the periphery of the bottom opening of the push-up shell 1 and suspended as a combination body on which the heat-dissipating piece of the first motor M1 is mounted. A state is formed to increase the vibration effect generated when the eccentric wheel 15 is driven.

The four hole pedestals 211 formed on the bottom surface of the lower heat dissipating piece 21 serve to lock the bolts, and the hole pedestals 211 themselves can be fitted into the upper convex block 232 of the silicon gel body 23. it can. As a result, it is convenient to combine the silicon gel body and the massage machine and pull out and convert the silicon gel body of the bottom surface convex particles 231 which are different for different users. The action of the convex particles 231 therein is used to enhance the massaging effect.

FIG. 5 shows the electric circuit design of the present invention. Here, the control operation of the electronic massager / integral massager of the present invention can be understood. Among them, the first switching switch 11 of the three-phase double throw controls the direction of the forward and reverse flow of the electric current of the thermoelectric element 22.

Among them, when a cooling effect is generated by the lower heat dissipation piece 22, that is, when the first changeover switch 11 is at the position A in FIG. 5, the second motor M2 is closed (ON). Operate . The meaning is that the "heat energy" of the upper heat dissipating piece 21 dissipates heat outside the shell by the operation of the motor M2, and the temperature of the lower heat dissipating piece 22 of the first motor M1 is lower than the set temperature (25 ° C) or lower. (It is controlled by one thermosensitive switch T1, and the thermosensitive switch T1 is normally open, and conducts once the temperature reaches 25 ° C. or higher). Therefore, it does not operate by exhibiting an open circuit (OFF). The meaning is that it does not generate vibration massage function (do not massage when applying cold compress for medical purposes).

However, once the heat-dissipating piece 22 generates the thermal effect, that is, when the thermoelectric element 2 is switched to the position B by the reverse current, the second motor M2 is turned off (OFF). Does not work. The implication is that the heat-dissipating piece is in a "cold" state and does not require heat dissipation.

The first motor M1 senses that the temperature is higher than the set temperature and performs a closed circuit (ON) operation. The meaning is that it produces vibrations and has the dual therapeutic effect of simultaneously applying heat and compressing. Since the thermoelectric element 2 is supplied with electric current in the reverse direction, the lower heat dissipating piece 22 changes from "cold" to "heat", and the temperature rises accordingly. Once the temperature reaches the critical temperature of the selected heat sensitive switch, the electric circuit is automatically cut off, the thermoelectric element 2 is stopped and the temperature increase is stopped, and the selected temperature is maintained.

Therefore, the user can select the cold or hot compress only by using the first changeover switch 11, and the temperature of different operation can be selected by the second changeover switch 12 to adjust an appropriate heat compress temperature. Therefore, the operation is considerably convenient.

Separately, as shown in FIG. 3, the fitting portion 41 of the extension device 4 (indicated by a dotted line in the drawing) can be fitted to the upper portion of the main body 1 of the present invention. By utilizing the long handle 42 extended on the extension device, it is convenient for the user to massage the massage machine from the back.

Further, convex stoppers 17 are provided on both sides of the main body 1 so that both ends of one belt body 3 are connected to the convex stoppers 17 to form a seal circuit shape. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 4, the surface of the convex particles 231 of the silicon gel body of the massaging device is fixed to the arm or foot of the human body, which is considerably convenient for use.
