Electromyographic chopsticks applicable to disabled user

Abstract

The invention discloses a pair of electromyographic chopsticks applicable to a disabled user. The electromyographic chopsticks are characterized by comprising chopstick bodies, an artificial silica gel glove, a pair of electromyographic electrodes, two electromyographic signal collection modules and a control system, wherein the middle portions of the chopstick bodies are movably connected, and the lower portions of the chopstick bodies are fixedly connected through a spring; the artificial silica gel glove is used for being connected with one hand of the disabled user; the electromyographic electrodes are connected with the two electromyographic signal collection modules respectively; the two electromyographic signal collection modules are connected with the artificial silica gel glove respectively through a Bluetooth module, and the Bluetooth module is used for transmitting electromyographic signals collected by the electromyographic signal collection modules to the control system; and the control system is used for processing the electromyographic signals. Finger-handicapped or arm-amputated people and other people can use the electromyographic chopsticks just by wearing the artificial silica gel glove on their hands, and the electromyographic electrodes are attached to one arm of the disabled user to collect the electromyographic signals. According to the electromyographicchopsticks, the electromyographic signals of the user are collected through the electromyographic electrodes, and the user only needs to do muscle actions according to his/her habit and consciousness.The electromyographic chopsticks have the advantages of being easy to use, high in practicability and the like and can be commercially popularized on a large scale.
