Description

Electrode structure production method for goggle-type electrical stimulator The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an electrode structure for a goggle-type electric stimulation device, and more specifically, to a method for manufacturing an electrode structure for a goggle-type electric stimulation device that prevents aging by stimulating the area around the eyes. Interest in health has been a top priority for people from the beginning of time to the future. Consequently, therapeutic devices for health are being developed in a wide variety of ways, ranging from equipment used in hospitals to home-use and portable devices. Along with health, beauty is one of people's top interests. In particular, many people pursue beauty by investing significant amounts of money. For this reason, therapeutic devices that allow one to pursue both health and beauty can be considered the best products. Meanwhile, human eyes undergo deformities such as myopia and hyperopia due to living environments and aging, as well as vision loss caused by various eye diseases. In particular, modern people have a very high incidence of myopia and hyperopia due to accumulated eye fatigue from frequent use of computers and mobile devices, as well as prolonged exposure to artificial light such as indoor lighting. For this reason, various methods are being attempted to relieve eye strain and prevent vision deterioration. One example of such methods is the stimulation of acupoints around and related to the eyes, eye exercises and eye massage, and the improvement of blood flow through far-infrared irradiation. Phototherapy, which utilizes light, has long been practiced using sunlight. Phototherapy is a treatment method that involves irradiating light within a set period using devices with specific wavelengths and artificial light sources, such as sunbathing within a harmless range or tanning. Furthermore, it performs various therapeutic functions within the human body, such as harmonizing and balancing the mind and body through specific color wavelengths. Recently, phototherapy is being widely used in surgical treatments such as acne, jaundice, pain management, wound healing, and hair treatment, utilizing halogen lamps or lasers of specific wavelengths. Furthermore, infrared light sources are being developed and sold for pain relief not only in physical therapy clinics but also for home use. In particular, since optical treatment methods using light are pain-free, consumer interest has been steadily increasing in recent years. To satisfy such consumer interest and desires, a therapeutic device according to Registered Patent No. 2013247, capable of performing treatment using light color and electrical stimulation, has been proposed. This patent has the advantage of removing facial fat and strengthening facial muscles by irradiating various lights onto the facial skin and applying low-frequency residual electrodes to certain muscle areas when worn by a user. However, since the above technology operates while being worn on the entire face, it has the disadvantage that one must focus solely on treatment when wearing it. In order to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, a goggle-type electric stimulation device has been proposed that is configured in the form of goggles for easy wearing, and also has an open eye area so that other tasks can be performed even while the device is being worn and stimulation is applied. The above-described stimulating device includes an electrode structure that comes into contact with the area around the eye, and the electrode structure must have an electrode to which electricity is applied formed based on a flexible material. At this time, the above electrode structure has the disadvantage of being difficult to manufacture because it must be composed entirely of a flexible material, with some areas implemented as conductors to which electricity is applied, and configured to have a relatively long lifespan.
