Problems solved by technology

In order to achieve these functions, some commercial smart gloves integrate devices such as optical fiber bending sensors, micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) sensors, or micro-gyroscopes. The integrated devices are thick and bulky, making gloves difficult to wear and inconvenient to use.

Embodiment 1

[0063] like figure 1 As shown, the smart glove includes a glove body 1, and the glove body is provided with a finger-shaped structure adapted to the shape of the finger for accommodating the finger. Each finger of the glove body 1 is provided with a capacitive elastic strain sensor 2, and the capacitive elastic strain sensor 2 covers the length of each finger, including finger joints.

[0064] The glove body 1 is also provided with a data processing module 3 , a data sending module 4 and a power supply 5 . The data processing module 3 is electrically connected to the elastic capacitance sensor 2 through the elastic wire 6 . The power supply 5 supplies power to the data processing module 3 , the data sending module 4 , and the capacitive elastic strain sensor 2 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the glove body is made of thin elastic textile material, and the hand can move freely after wearing it.

[0066] In this embodiment, the data processing module 3 is electrically connecte...

Embodiment 2

[0089] In this embodiment, the structure of the smart glove is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, the difference is that Figure 4 As shown, the capacitive elastic strain sensors are arranged at the fingertips and palms of the fingers of the glove body 1, and the capacitive elastic strain sensors are not easily stretched and deformed when the fingers are bent. Same as Embodiment 1, these capacitive elastic strain sensors are connected to the data processing module (in Figure 4 not shown in).

[0090] In this embodiment, the structure and preparation method of the capacitive elastic strain sensor are the same as those in Embodiment 1. When the capacitive elastic strain sensor is subjected to strains such as stretching, bending, and stress, its capacitance changes. The pressure strain test of the capacitive elastic strain sensor is carried out, and the test results show that the capacitance of the elastic strain sensor changes linearly with the pressure strain. In a...

Embodiment 3

[0096] In this embodiment, the structure of the smart glove is basically the same as that in Embodiment 1, except that the glove body 1 is also provided with a miniature magnetic sensor, which in this embodiment uses a miniature Hall effect magnetic sensor. The magnetic microsensor is electrically connected with the data processing module 3 through the elastic wire 6 . The angular relationship between the smart glove and the earth's magnetic field can also be detected by the magnetic microsensor.

Abstract

The invention provides smart gloves, which comprise glove bodies which are provided with capacitive elastic strain sensors, data processing modules, data sending modules and power supplies; the capacitances of the capacitive elastic strain sensors change under the action of stress. According to the smart gloves, the glove bodies and the sensors are integrated into a whole, the smart gloves are comfortable to wear, has no feeling of foreign matters, and can be used for detecting stress and strain such as tension, bending and pressure.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a smart glove. Background technique [0002] Wearable electronic technology is a rapidly growing technology. Currently, wearable electronic products developed and researched include smart watches, continuous medical monitors, activity and fitness monitors, and clothing with environmental sensors. [0003] As a type of smart wearable device, smart gloves can provide a variety of functions, such as hand posture monitoring, hand protection, and assisted hand rehabilitation. In order to realize these functions, some commercial smart gloves integrate optical fiber bending sensors, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors, or micro-gyros. However, the integrated devices are thick and bulky, making the gloves difficult to wear and inconvenient to use. Contents of the invention [0004] In view of the technical status of the above-mentioned smart gloves, the present invention aims to provide a smart glove that is easy to wear,...
