先前技術中的熱理療器，通常係採用金屬電熱元件(例如鎢絲或者鉬片等)為基本的發熱單元構成。然而，由於金屬電熱元件的熱容較高，熱響應較遲鈍，能量轉換效率較低。並且，金屬發熱元件會因為複數次熱脹冷縮以及曲折等機械外力而容易受損疲勞，功能下降，影響產品壽命。 The thermal therapy device of the prior art usually consists of a metal heating element (such as a tungsten wire or a molybdenum sheet) as a basic heat generating unit. However, due to the higher heat capacity of the metal electric heating element, the thermal response is slower and the energy conversion efficiency is lower. Moreover, the metal heating element is likely to be damaged and fatigued due to a plurality of mechanical external forces such as thermal expansion and contraction and tortuosity, and the function is degraded, which affects the life of the product.
有鑒於此，提供一種發熱效率高，使用壽命長的熱理療器實為必要。 In view of this, it is necessary to provide a thermal therapy device with high heat generation efficiency and long service life.

The heating element includes a flexible polymer matrix and a carbon nanotube film structure embedded in the flexible polymer matrix, the flexible polymer matrix having a surface adjacent to the insulating substrate, the nanocarbon The tubular film structure is disposed adjacent to a surface of the flexible polymer substrate adjacent to the insulating substrate.
相較於先前技術，所述的熱理療器中的加熱元件將奈米碳管膜結構複合於柔性高分子基體中。由於奈米碳管膜結構的熱容較小，具有較高的發熱效率和較快的熱響應速度，因此該熱理療器的發熱效率高、熱響應快。該加熱元件的奈米碳管膜結構具有較好的柔性，不會因為複數次彎曲影響使用壽命，從而該加熱元件具有較長的使用壽命。另外，本發明的加熱元件中的奈米碳管膜結構靠近該柔性高分子基體靠近所述絕緣基底的表面設置，從而使得 該加熱元件具有非對稱的熱膨脹係數分佈。當該熱理療器通電加熱時，所述加熱元件會朝向遠離所述絕緣基底的方向凸起，從而還可以起到一定的按摩作用。 In contrast to the prior art, the heating element in the thermal therapy device composites the carbon nanotube membrane structure into a flexible polymeric matrix. Since the carbon nanotube membrane structure has a small heat capacity, high heat generation efficiency and fast thermal response speed, the heat treatment device has high heat generation efficiency and fast thermal response.

In addition, the carbon nanotube film structure in the heating element of the present invention is disposed close to the surface of the flexible polymer substrate near the insulating substrate, thereby The heating element has an asymmetric coefficient of thermal expansion distribution. When the thermal therapy device is electrically heated, the heating element may be convex toward a direction away from the insulating substrate, so that a certain massage effect may also be exerted.

One end of the heating element 130 adhered to the first electrode 110 is electrically connected to the first electrode 110 through a conductive adhesive 160; the heating element 130 is adhered to one end of the second electrode 112 through the conductive adhesive 160 and the first The two electrodes 112 are electrically connected. In use, a voltage may be applied to both ends of the heating element 130 through the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 112.
請一併參見圖3，該加熱元件130為平面薄膜狀結構，其長度、寬 度、厚度可以根據實際需要設置。本實施例中，該加熱元件130為2毫米厚的一長方形薄片，長為1厘米，寬為0.5厘米。所述加熱元件130包括一奈米碳管膜結構134以及一柔性高分子基體136。所述奈米碳管膜結構134包埋於柔性高分子基體136中。該奈米碳管膜結構134與該柔性高分子基體136結合成一個整體結構。所述奈米碳管膜結構134與所述柔性高分子基體136的厚度比為1：2~1：300。優選地，所述奈米碳管膜結構134與所述柔性高分子基體136的厚度比為1：20。該柔性高分子基體136具有一遠離所述絕緣基底102的第一表面1362，以及一靠近所述絕緣基底102的第二表面1364。所述第一表面1362平行於所述第二表面1364。所述奈米碳管膜結構134設置於所述柔性高分子基體136之中，並靠近第二表面1364設置。所述奈米碳管膜結構134平行於所述第二表面1364。具體地，奈米碳管膜結構134到第一表面1362的距離大於奈米碳管膜結構134到第二表面的距離。也可以理解為，所述奈米碳管膜結構134在所述柔性高分子基體136中的位置，相對於所述第一表面1362以及第二表面1364係非對稱的。或者，所述奈米碳管膜結構134到第一表面1362以及第二表面1364的距離係不相等的。優選地，所述奈米碳管膜結構134距離所述第二表面1364的距離大於等於10微米且小於等於1毫米。一方面，可確保該加熱元件130的第一表面1362不導電，從而避免漏電；另一方面，該奈米碳管膜結構134非對稱的設置於所述柔性高分子基體136中，上述距離範圍還可以保證奈米碳管膜結構134到第一表面1362之間的部分的熱膨脹係數大於奈米碳管膜結構134到第二表面1364之間的部分的熱膨脹係數。該奈米碳管膜結構134的長度要大於或等於所述柔性高分子基體136的長度，所謂“長度”係 指，所述奈米碳管膜結構134在平行於所述第二表面1364的方向的最大尺寸。從而在該加熱元件130的相對兩端都有部分奈米碳管膜結構134露出。由於加熱元件130的兩端通過導電膠160分別黏附於第一電極110以及第二電極112，因此該奈米碳管膜結構134在加熱元件130的兩端露出的部分可以通過導電膠160與所述第一電極110和第二電極112電連接。另外，該加熱元件130設置於所述絕緣基底102時，要使得所述第二表面1364靠近所述絕緣基底102設置。 Referring to FIG. 3 together, the heating element 130 is a planar film-like structure having a length and a width. Degree and thickness can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the heating element 130 is a rectangular sheet of 2 mm thick, 1 cm long and 0.5 cm wide. The heating element 130 includes a carbon nanotube film structure 134 and a flexible polymer matrix 136. The carbon nanotube film structure 134 is embedded in the flexible polymer matrix 136. The carbon nanotube film structure 134 is combined with the flexible polymer matrix 136 to form a unitary structure. The thickness ratio of the carbon nanotube film structure 134 to the flexible polymer matrix 136 is 1:2 to 1:300. Preferably, the thickness ratio of the carbon nanotube film structure 134 to the flexible polymer matrix 136 is 1:20. The flexible polymer matrix 136 has a first surface 1362 remote from the insulating substrate 102 and a second surface 1364 adjacent the insulating substrate 102. The first surface 1362 is parallel to the second surface 1364. The carbon nanotube film structure 134 is disposed in the flexible polymer matrix 136 and disposed adjacent to the second surface 1364. The carbon nanotube membrane structure 134 is parallel to the second surface 1364. Specifically, the distance from the carbon nanotube film structure 134 to the first surface 1362 is greater than the distance from the carbon nanotube film structure 134 to the second surface. It can also be understood that the position of the carbon nanotube film structure 134 in the flexible polymer matrix 136 is asymmetric with respect to the first surface 1362 and the second surface 1364. Alternatively, the distance from the carbon nanotube film structure 134 to the first surface 1362 and the second surface 1364 is unequal. Preferably, the carbon nanotube film structure 134 is at a distance of 10 micrometers or more and 1 millimeter or less from the second surface 1364. On the one hand, it can be ensured that the first surface 1362 of the heating element 130 is not electrically conductive, thereby avoiding leakage; on the other hand, the carbon nanotube film structure 134 is asymmetrically disposed in the flexible polymer substrate 136, the distance range It is also possible to ensure that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the portion between the carbon nanotube film structure 134 and the first surface 1362 is greater than the coefficient of thermal expansion of the portion between the carbon nanotube film structure 134 and the second surface 1364. The length of the carbon nanotube film structure 134 is greater than or equal to the length of the flexible polymer matrix 136, the so-called "length" system Refers to the largest dimension of the carbon nanotube film structure 134 in a direction parallel to the second surface 1364. Thus, a portion of the carbon nanotube film structure 134 is exposed at opposite ends of the heating element 130. Since the two ends of the heating element 130 are respectively adhered to the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 112 through the conductive adhesive 160, the portion of the carbon nanotube film structure 134 exposed at both ends of the heating element 130 can pass through the conductive adhesive 160 and the The first electrode 110 and the second electrode 112 are electrically connected. In addition, when the heating element 130 is disposed on the insulating substrate 102, the second surface 1364 is disposed adjacent to the insulating substrate 102.
另外，所述奈米碳管膜結構134還可以直接設置於所述柔性高分子基體136的第二表面1364。 In addition, the carbon nanotube film structure 134 may also be directly disposed on the second surface 1364 of the flexible polymer matrix 136.
請參考圖4，所述柔性高分子基體136為具有一定厚度的片材，該片材的形狀不限，可以為長方形、圓形，或根據實際應用製成各種形狀。所述柔性高分子基體136為柔性材料構成。所述柔性高分子基體136的材料為矽橡膠、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯、聚氨脂、環氧樹脂、聚丙烯酸乙酯、聚丙烯酸丁酯、聚苯乙烯、聚丁二烯、聚丙烯腈、聚苯胺、聚吡咯及聚噻吩等中的一種或幾種的組合。本實施例中，所述柔性高分子基體136為一矽橡膠薄膜，該矽橡膠薄膜為厚度為2毫米厚的一長方形薄片。所述奈米碳管膜結構134為一膜結構，其厚度為10微米~1毫米，其寬度與所述柔性高分子基體136完全相同，長度略大於所述柔性高分子基體136的長度。該奈米碳管膜結構134平行於所述柔性高分子基體136並靠近柔性高分子基體136的第二表面1364設置。具體地，該奈米碳管膜結構134係在柔性高分子基體136未完全固化呈液態時鋪設於該柔性高分子基體136。該奈米碳管膜結構134係由複數個奈米碳管 132通過凡得瓦力結合構成，複數個奈米碳管132之間存在間隙。液態的高分子基體材料可以滲透進入該奈米碳管膜結構134中的奈米碳管132之間的間隙當中，並將該奈米碳管膜結構134完全包覆，從而該柔性高分子基體136的材料與奈米碳管膜結構134中的奈米碳管132緊密結合在一起。奈米碳管膜結構134可以很好地靠近所述第二表面1364固定於該柔性高分子基體136中或者固定於該柔性高分子基體136的第二表面1364。該加熱元件130不會因為複數次使用，影響奈米碳管膜結構134與柔性高分子基體136之間介面的結合性，從而壽命較長。 Referring to FIG. 4, the flexible polymer matrix 136 is a sheet having a certain thickness, and the shape of the sheet is not limited, and may be rectangular, circular, or various shapes according to practical applications. The flexible polymer matrix 136 is constructed of a flexible material. The material of the flexible polymer matrix 136 is ruthenium rubber, polymethyl methacrylate, polyurethane, epoxy resin, polyethyl acrylate, polybutyl acrylate, polystyrene, polybutadiene, polyacrylonitrile. A combination of one or more of polyaniline, polypyrrole, and polythiophene. In this embodiment, the flexible polymer substrate 136 is a ruthenium rubber film which is a rectangular sheet having a thickness of 2 mm. The carbon nanotube film structure 134 is a film structure having a thickness of 10 micrometers to 1 millimeter, a width identical to that of the flexible polymer matrix 136, and a length slightly larger than the length of the flexible polymer matrix 136. The carbon nanotube film structure 134 is disposed parallel to the flexible polymer matrix 136 and adjacent to the second surface 1364 of the flexible polymer matrix 136.

請參見圖9，所述加熱元件130也可以直接設置於所述絕緣基底102的表面，該加熱元件130的兩端固定於所述絕緣基底102。所述第一電極110以及第二電極112分別設置在所述加熱元件的兩端，並通過導電膠分別與所述加熱元件130電連接。 Referring to FIG. 9 , the heating element 130 may also be directly disposed on the surface of the insulating substrate 102 . Both ends of the heating element 130 are fixed to the insulating substrate 102 . The first electrode 110 and the second electrode 112 are respectively disposed at two ends of the heating element, and are electrically connected to the heating element 130 respectively by a conductive adhesive.
請參見圖10，所述熱理療器10在使用時，可將熱理療器20的設置有加熱元件一側貼敷於人體上，電壓通過所述第一電極110以及所述第二電極112施加在該加熱元件130的奈米碳管膜結構134的兩端，電流可通過上述奈米碳管132所形成的導電網路進行傳輸。由於奈米碳管132的自身熱容較高，使得奈米碳管膜結構134溫度快速升高，熱量在靠近奈米碳管132的周圍快速地擴散，從而將熱量傳遞至與加熱元件130對應的人體。 Referring to FIG. 10, when the thermal therapy device 10 is in use, the side of the thermal therapy device 20 on which the heating element is disposed may be applied to the human body, and a voltage is applied through the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 112. At both ends of the carbon nanotube film structure 134 of the heating element 130, current can be transferred through the conductive network formed by the carbon nanotubes 132 described above. Due to the high heat capacity of the carbon nanotubes 132, the temperature of the carbon nanotube membrane structure 134 is rapidly increased, and the heat is rapidly diffused near the periphery of the carbon nanotubes 132, thereby transferring heat to the heating element 130. Human body.
本實施例的加熱元件130中，所述柔性高分子基體136的熱膨脹係數大於奈米碳管膜結構134的熱膨脹係數。所述奈米碳管膜結構134靠近所述柔性高分子基體136的第二表面1364設置，並且所述第二表面1364靠近所述絕緣基底102。由於所述奈米碳管膜結構在柔性高分子基體136中，相對於第一表面1362以及第二表面1364係非對稱設置的，因此該加熱元件130的設有奈米碳管膜結構134的一側熱膨脹係數小於沒有設置奈米碳管膜結構134一側。當該加熱元件130通電發熱時，該加熱元件130中的奈米碳管膜結 構134到第一表面1362之間的部分的膨脹形變將大於加熱元件130中的奈米碳管膜結構134到第二表面1364之間的部分。加熱後的加熱元件130的熱膨脹係數大的部分將會凸起，從而該加熱元件的第一表面1362可以推壓與加熱元件130對應或接觸的人體，起到一定的按摩作用。當斷電時，該加熱元件130又將恢復原來的形狀，離開加熱元件130所對應的人體的理療部位。因此，當該加熱元件130被週期性通斷電時，其可以實現週期性的凸起與恢復，從而實現按摩人體的功能。由於奈米碳管132具有導電性好、熱容小的特點，所述奈米碳管膜結構134在短時間能就可以發出大量的熱，從而使該加熱元件130在較小的電壓驅動下，就可以較快的達到較高的溫度。 In the heating element 130 of the present embodiment, the flexible polymer matrix 136 has a thermal expansion coefficient greater than that of the carbon nanotube film structure 134. The carbon nanotube film structure 134 is disposed adjacent to the second surface 1364 of the flexible polymer matrix 136, and the second surface 1364 is adjacent to the insulating substrate 102. Since the carbon nanotube film structure is asymmetrically disposed in the flexible polymer matrix 136 with respect to the first surface 1362 and the second surface 1364, the heating element 130 is provided with the carbon nanotube film structure 134. The coefficient of thermal expansion on one side is smaller than the side on which the carbon nanotube film structure 134 is not disposed. When the heating element 130 is energized and heated, the carbon nanotube film junction in the heating element 130 The expansion deformation of the portion between the structure 134 and the first surface 1362 will be greater than the portion between the carbon nanotube film structure 134 in the heating element 130 to the second surface 1364. The portion of the heating element 130 that has a large coefficient of thermal expansion will be convex, so that the first surface 1362 of the heating element can push the human body corresponding to or in contact with the heating element 130 to provide a certain massage effect. When the power is turned off, the heating element 130 will return to its original shape, leaving the physiotherapy part of the human body corresponding to the heating element 130. Therefore, when the heating element 130 is periodically turned on and off, it can achieve periodic protrusion and recovery, thereby achieving the function of massaging the human body. Since the carbon nanotube 132 has the characteristics of good electrical conductivity and low heat capacity, the carbon nanotube film structure 134 can emit a large amount of heat in a short time, so that the heating element 130 is driven by a small voltage. , you can reach higher temperatures faster.
可以理解，上述實施例中加熱元件130的相對兩端通過所述第一電極110和第二電極112固定在絕緣基底102，係為了讓加熱元件130受熱後向遠離所述絕緣基底102的方向凸起。為此，加熱元件130的相對兩端也可以通過其他方式固定在絕緣基底102，比如黏結、卡扣、螺鎖等等。所述第一電極110和第二電極112可以間隔設置於加熱元件130上，並與加熱元件130中的奈米碳管膜結構134電連接。另外，第一電極110和第二電極112也可以集成到加熱元件130中，並與所述奈米碳管膜結構134電鏈結即可。 It can be understood that the opposite ends of the heating element 130 in the above embodiment are fixed to the insulating substrate 102 through the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 112, so that the heating element 130 is heated and protruded away from the insulating substrate 102. Start. To this end, the opposite ends of the heating element 130 can also be secured to the insulating substrate 102 by other means, such as bonding, snapping, screwing, and the like.

請參閱圖14及15，本發明第三實施例提供一種熱理療器30。本實施例與第二實施例的區別在於，加熱元件130與絕緣基底102之間沒有間隙，加熱元件130直接設置在絕緣基底102的表面並與絕緣基底102接觸，從而加熱元件130使用時不易被破壞。由於加熱元件130與絕緣基底102直接接觸，因此為了降低熱量損失，所述絕緣基底102材料優選導熱性較差材料。 Referring to Figures 14 and 15, a third embodiment of the present invention provides a thermal therapy device 30. The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that there is no gap between the heating element 130 and the insulating substrate 102, and the heating element 130 is directly disposed on the surface of the insulating substrate 102 and is in contact with the insulating substrate 102, so that the heating element 130 is not easily used when used. damage. Since the heating element 130 is in direct contact with the insulating substrate 102, the material of the insulating substrate 102 is preferably a material having poor thermal conductivity in order to reduce heat loss.
該熱理療器在使用時，利用其熱輻射進行加熱，其具有以下優點：第一，奈米碳管膜結構具有較高的電熱轉換效率以及比較高的熱輻射效率，所以該熱理療器的電熱轉換效率及熱輻射效率較高。第二，由於奈米碳管膜結構的熱容較小，所以該加熱元件具有較快的熱響應速度，可實先前效地局部控制加熱。第三，由於加熱元件奈米碳管膜結構以及柔性高分子基體構成，並且所述奈米碳管膜結構靠近柔性高分子基體的一個表面設置於該柔性高分子 基體之中，由於奈米碳管膜結構於柔性高分子基體的熱膨脹係數不同，從而使得該加熱元件在加熱的同時還可以具有相當的形變，進一步還可以實現按摩的功能。第四，奈米碳管的密度較小，使該熱理療器的質量較輕，便於攜帶，可廣泛應用於各種領域。 The thermal therapy device is heated by its heat radiation when used, and has the following advantages: First, the carbon nanotube film structure has high electrothermal conversion efficiency and relatively high heat radiation efficiency, so the thermal therapy device Electrothermal conversion efficiency and heat radiation efficiency are high. Second, since the heat capacity of the carbon nanotube membrane structure is small, the heating element has a relatively fast thermal response speed, and can locally control the heating locally. Third, due to the heating element carbon nanotube film structure and the flexible polymer matrix, and the carbon nanotube film structure is disposed on the surface of the flexible polymer substrate on the flexible polymer Among the substrates, since the thermal expansion coefficient of the carbon nanotube film structure on the flexible polymer matrix is different, the heating element can be deformed while being heated, and the massage function can be further realized. Fourth, the density of the carbon nanotubes is small, so that the thermal therapy device is light in weight, easy to carry, and can be widely used in various fields.
