Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an electrotherapy finger splint and a control method for an electrotherapy finger splint. Background Art

[0002] Stroke is a major disease that endangers the health of the general public, with extremely high fatality and disability rates. It mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, but there is also a trend of getting younger. According to a report by the World Health Organization, 80% of stroke patients have varying degrees of limb dysfunction, and more than 60% of them still have upper limb dysfunction, especially hand dysfunction, after entering the chronic phase. The upper limb function of a person accounts for 60% of the total body function, and the hand function accounts for 90% of the upper limb function. Therefore, intact hand function plays a very important role in daily work and life.

[0003] The hand finger splint is one of the representative auxiliary devices of orthotics and has been widely used in clinical work. The finger splint can help patients separate and extend their fingers to achieve the purpose of inhibiting finger flexion tension and preventing finger contracture. The current finger splints mainly include wooden finger splints and plastic finger splints. The plastic finger splint fixes the fingers through finger straps and can only be used as a left hand finger splint or a right hand finger splint alone. Although the wooden finger splint can play the role of separating fingers and fixing the finger functional position, its function is relatively single and the therapeutic effect is limited.

[0047] The core of the present invention is to provide an electrotherapy finger separator, which can effectively improve the reuse rate of the finger separator and is beneficial to improving the treatment effect.

[0048] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of an electrotherapy finger separator in the present invention. The electrotherapy finger separator may include:

[0050] A bottom plate 60;

[0051] A first finger separating block 10, a second finger separating block 20, a third finger separating block 30, a fourth finger separating block 40, and a fifth finger separating block 50 that are sequentially arranged on the bottom plate 60; a gap matching the human finger is formed between two adjacent finger separating blocks, and an electrostimulation block is provided on each of the left and right side walls of each finger separating block, and the polarities of these two electrostimulation blocks are opposite, and the polarities of the electrostimulation blocks on the same-direction side walls of different finger separating blocks are the same, so that after a finger is placed in the gap between adjacent finger separating blocks, a complete electrostimulation circuit is formed with the power supply circuit;

[0052] A right thumb electrostimulation block 70 that is arranged on the bottom plate 60 and forms a complete electrostimulation circuit with the right thumb, the electrostimulation block on the left side wall of the first finger separating block 10, and the power supply circuit when treating the right hand;

[0053] A left thumb electrostimulation block 80 that is arranged on the bottom plate 60 and forms a complete electrostimulation circuit with the left thumb, the electrostimulation block on the right side wall of the fifth finger separating block 50, and the power supply circuit when treating the left hand;

[0054] A power supply circuit.

[0055] Specifically, the first finger separating block 10 described in this application refers to the leftmost finger separating block, and the fifth finger separating block 50 is the rightmost finger separating block, that is, the first finger separating block 10, the second finger separating block 20, the third finger separating block 30, the fourth finger separating block 40, and the fifth finger separating block 50 are arranged in sequence from left to right. The specific shape of the bottom plate 60, the specific positions, shapes, and gap sizes of each finger separating block can all be set and adjusted according to actual needs. However, it can be understood that a gap matching the human finger needs to be formed between two adjacent finger separating blocks, that is, it is matched with the finger so that when the finger is placed in the gap, it can contact the adjacent finger separating blocks on both sides.

[0056] In this application, an electrical stimulation block is provided on each of the left and right sidewalls of each finger-dividing block, and the polarities of these two electrical stimulation blocks are opposite. For example, the electrical stimulation blocks on the left sidewalls of each finger-dividing block are all positive in polarity, and the electrical stimulation blocks on the right sidewalls are all negative in polarity. Of course, the reverse is also possible. The electrical stimulation block is a conductor. A positive polarity means that the electrical stimulation block will be connected to the positive electrode of the power supply circuit. Correspondingly, a negative polarity means it is connected to the negative electrode of the power supply circuit. The electrical stimulation block can be embedded in the sidewall of the finger-dividing block.

[0057] Since an electrical stimulation block is provided on each of the left and right sidewalls of each finger-dividing block in this application, and the polarities of these two electrical stimulation blocks are opposite, while the polarities of the electrical stimulation blocks on the same-direction sidewalls of different finger-dividing blocks are the same, therefore, after a finger is placed in the gap between adjacent finger-dividing blocks, a complete electrical stimulation circuit can be formed with the power supply circuit. For example Figure 1 in, when the right index finger or the left little finger is placed in the gap between the electrical stimulation block 102 on the right sidewall of the first finger-dividing block 10 and the electrical stimulation block 201 on the left sidewall of the second finger-dividing block 20, for example, if the electrical stimulation block 102 is the positive electrode, after electrotherapy is started, the positive output of the power supply circuit can pass through the electrical stimulation block 102, through the finger to the electrical stimulation block 201, and then flow back to the negative electrode of the power supply circuit.

[0058] Since there is no finger-dividing block on the outer side of the thumb, therefore, a right thumb electrical stimulation block 70 and a left thumb electrical stimulation block 80 are provided on the bottom plate 60 in this application.

[0059] Taking the right thumb electrical stimulation block 70 as an example, the left thumb electrical stimulation block 80 is the same in principle. When treating the right hand, for example Figure 1 in, the polarity of the electrical stimulation block 102 is positive, and the electrical stimulation block 101 on the left sidewall of the first finger-dividing block 10 is negative, then the polarity of the right thumb electrical stimulation block 70 needs to be positive, that is, the right thumb electrical stimulation block 70 is connected to the positive electrode of the power supply circuit, so that after the treatment is started, the right thumb can receive electrical stimulation.

[0060] This application's Figure 1 does not show the power supply circuit. In actual application, the power source of the power supply circuit can be a battery, or it can receive power from external devices or circuits through relevant interfaces, which can be set according to actual needs. The specific circuit structure of the power supply circuit can also be set and adjusted according to actual situations, which will not affect the implementation of the present invention. In addition, it can be understood that when the treatment is not started, the 6 electrical stimulation circuits can all be non-conductive, that is, each electrical stimulation block is not powered on, to avoid the situation of accidental electric shock.

[0061] Further, the present application takes into account that the electrotherapy finger separator provided by the present application can support both left - hand treatment and right - hand treatment. The right - thumb electrical stimulation block 70 and the left - thumb electrical stimulation block 80 are provided. Therefore, when one hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger separator of the present application, one of the electrical stimulation blocks must be idle. If the intensity of the electrical stimulation is relatively large and there is still current in the idle electrical stimulation block, there will be a risk of accidental electric shock after accidental touch. Therefore, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, the left and right hands are further identified to turn off the output of the idle electrical stimulation block, thereby improving the safety of the electrotherapy finger separator of the present application.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, it further includes:

[0063] A left - hand recognition device for outputting a first signal when it is recognized that the left hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger separator, so that after the control circuit receives the first signal and the electrotherapy start instruction, the first switch circuit is closed;

[0064] A right - hand recognition device for outputting a second signal when it is recognized that the right hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger separator, so that after the control circuit receives the second signal and the electrotherapy start instruction, the second switch circuit is closed;

[0065] A first switch circuit provided in the electrical stimulation circuit corresponding to the left thumb and in a default off state;

[0066] A second switch circuit provided in the electrical stimulation circuit corresponding to the right thumb and in a default off state;

[0067] A control circuit respectively connected to the left - hand recognition device, the right - hand recognition device, the first switch circuit, and the second switch circuit.

[0068] In this embodiment, when the user's left hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger separator, it can be recognized by the left - hand recognition device, and then a first signal is output to the control circuit. Correspondingly, when the user's right hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger separator, it can be recognized by the right - hand recognition device, and then a second signal is output to the control circuit.

[0069] The specific device types of the left - hand recognition device and the right - hand recognition device can also be set and selected according to actual needs, as long as the left - and right - hand recognition functions of the present application can be realized. For example, they can be devices such as pressure sensors and touch sensors.

[0070] The specific circuit structure of the control circuit can also be set according to actual needs. For example Figure 2 In a specific embodiment, when using a control circuit based on a single - chip microcomputer, the chip interface schematic diagram of STM32F103VET6, Figure 3It is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the left - hand recognition device using the TS01S capacitive touch sensor. Of course, Figure 3 What is shown is the left - hand recognition device, and the right - hand recognition device can refer to this circuit structure.

[0071] Connect Figure 2 the IO port PA12 of the chip STM32F103VET6 in Figure 3 to the digital signal output pin Out of the TS01S capacitive touch sensor, that is, U15 in Figure 3 DL - 1A in Figure 3 is connected to the left - thumb electro - stimulation block 80, and DL - 1A is connected to the analog input port T_in of U15 through a solid - state relay G3VM - 61G1, that is,

[0072] When the treatment is not started, the IO port L_HAND of the single - chip microcomputer, that is, Figure 2 PA11 in

[0073] Figure 2 will output a low level. At this time, the solid - state relay U12 will conduct. At this time, the left - thumb electro - stimulation block 80 connected to DL - 1A is equivalent to a key board for left - hand detection. That is, when the left hand touches the left - thumb electro - stimulation block 80, the TS01S capacitive touch sensor U15 will output a low level at its Out pin. The single - chip microcomputer can periodically scan the level of LH_JC, for example, scan once every 50 ms. When it detects that the LH_JC pin has received the low level output from the Out pin of U15, it can determine that the left hand is currently placed on the electro - therapy finger board. That is to say, the control circuit has received the first signal output by the left - hand recognition device. Figure 3 In the embodiment of

[0074]

[0075] Figure 1 After receiving the electro - therapy start instruction, the control circuit can control the power supply circuit to output electrical energy. For example, by controlling the main circuit switch at the output end of the power supply circuit, the power supply circuit can output electrical energy. At this time, Figure 1 the electro - stimulation blocks on both sides of the 4 gaps in

[0076] The electrotherapy start instruction can be triggered by the user through relevant buttons, switches, or the touch screen, etc., indicating that the user selects to start electrotherapy.

[0077] After the control circuit receives the first signal and the electrotherapy start instruction, it will start electrotherapy. At the same time, it will close the first switch circuit. The first switch circuit is in the off state by default, which means that when electrotherapy is not started, the first switch circuit remains off, making the electrostimulation circuit corresponding to the left thumb not conductive. In the case of starting electrotherapy, it depends on which hand of the user is receiving electrotherapy. That is, when electrotherapy is applied to the left hand, the first switch circuit is closed and the second switch circuit is open. Conversely, when electrotherapy is applied to the right hand, the first switch circuit is open and the second switch circuit is closed.

[0078] The specific composition of the first switch circuit can be set and selected according to actual needs. For example, components such as relays and optocouplers can be selected as long as the purpose of this application can be achieved. For example, a relay is set on the power supply line between the power supply circuit and the electrostimulation block on the right side wall of the fifth finger block 50, or on the power supply line between the power supply circuit and the left thumb electrostimulation block 80, and the control circuit controls this relay.

[0079] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the first switch circuit includes:

[0080] A first switch unit provided between the power supply circuit and the electrostimulation block on the right side wall of the fifth finger block;

[0081] A second switch unit provided between the power supply circuit and the left thumb electrostimulation block 80;

[0082] The second switch circuit includes:

[0083] A third switch unit provided between the power supply circuit and the electrostimulation block on the left side wall of the first finger block;

[0084] A fourth switch unit provided between the power supply circuit and the right thumb electrostimulation block 70.

[0085] In this embodiment, considering that the electrostimulation block on the right side wall of the fifth finger block can be connected to the positive pole of the power supply circuit, or the left thumb electrostimulation block 80 can be connected to the positive pole of the power supply circuit. Therefore, in order to further improve safety. The first switch circuit and the second switch circuit in this embodiment also both consist of 2 switch units, so that after the first switch circuit is disconnected, the electrostimulation block on the right side wall of the fifth finger block and the left thumb electrostimulation block 80 are both not charged. Correspondingly, after the second switch circuit is disconnected, the electrostimulation block on the left side wall of the first finger block and the right thumb electrostimulation block 70 are both not charged.

[0086] For example Figure 4In the embodiment, the first switch circuit of the present application is implemented based on two relays.

[0087] Specifically, after the control circuit receives the first signal and the electrotherapy start instruction, Figure 2 L_HAND in it will output a high level, indicating that the electrotherapy of the left hand can be started. Figure 3 The solid-state relay U12 in it is cut off. At this time, the left thumb electrostimulation block 80 connected to DL-1A is no longer used for left hand detection, that is, the detection is completed, and electrostimulation can be started.

[0088] Figure 4 In it, two G3VM-61G1s are set, namely U1 and U2, both of which are MOSFET relays. Figure 2 The single-chip microcomputer IO ports R1_DLA and R1_DLB in it, namely PC6 and PB15, are respectively connected to the second pins of U1 and U2. Both DLA and DLB are connected to the power supply circuit. For example, DLA is connected to the positive pole of the power supply circuit, and DLB is connected to the negative pole of the power supply circuit. DL-1A is connected to the left thumb electrostimulation block 80, and DL-1B is connected to the electrostimulation block on the right side wall of the fifth finger block 50.

[0089] After the control circuit receives the first signal and the electrotherapy start instruction, it will start the electrotherapy and at the same time close the first switch circuit. In this embodiment, it is to output a low level through the IO ports R1_DLA and R1_DLB, and the relays U1 and U2 are turned on, so that DL-1A is connected to DLA, and DL-1B is connected to DLB. Therefore, DL-1A and DL-1B form a stimulation loop through the left thumb, allowing electrostimulation output. On the contrary, when the control circuit does not receive the first signal, that is, when it does not recognize that the left hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger board, the relays U1 and U2 are turned off, DL-1A is not connected to DLA, and DL-1B is not connected to DLB, so that the electrostimulation blocks on the right side wall of the fifth finger block and the left thumb electrostimulation block 80 are not charged.

[0090] This example introduces in detail the specific circuit composition of the first switch circuit in a specific embodiment. The second switch circuit can be referred to this and will not be repeated.

[0091] In practical applications, considering that the touch sensor is more sensitive and easy to implement, therefore, the left hand recognition device can be selected as the first touch sensor, and the right hand recognition device can be selected as the second touch sensor.

[0092] Furthermore, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, it may further include:

[0093] The first touch spring arranged between the analog signal input end of the first touch sensor and the bottom plate 60 for improving the detection sensitivity;

[0094] A second touch spring disposed between the analog signal input terminal of the second touch sensor and the base plate 60 for improving detection sensitivity.

[0095] In this embodiment, in order to enhance the touch sensitivity, a touch spring can be added between the analog signal input terminal of the touch sensor and the base plate 60. There is an induced capacitance between any two conductive objects. A key, that is, a spring and the ground can also form an induced capacitance. Under the condition that the surrounding environment remains unchanged, the value of this induced capacitance is a fixed and tiny value. When a human finger approaches the touch key, the induced capacitance formed between the human finger and the ground is connected in parallel with the induced capacitance formed between the spring and the ground, which will increase the total induced capacitance value. After the capacitive touch sensor detects that the induced capacitance value has changed, it can output a digital signal at the output port Out. In the foregoing embodiment, a low-level signal is output from the Out port of the TS01S capacitive touch sensor to the single-chip microcomputer, that is, output to the control circuit, indicating that the detection area is pressed. If it is the left touch detection area, it means that the right hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger splint. Correspondingly, if it is the right touch detection area, it means that the left hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger splint.

[0096] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, it may further include:

[0097] A display device connected to the control circuit for displaying a first piece of information when the left hand recognition device recognizes that the left hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger splint, and displaying a second piece of information when the right hand recognition device recognizes that the right hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger splint.

[0098] In this embodiment, in order to enable the user to intuitively see whether the currently recognized hand is the user's left hand or right hand, the first piece of information or the second piece of information is displayed through the display device, which improves the user experience.

[0099] The specific composition of the display device can be set and adjusted according to actual needs, such as display lights, display screens, etc. The specific manifestation forms of the first piece of information and the second piece of information can also be set according to actual needs. For example, information can be distinguished by the way of flashing and the position of flashing, as long as it can enable the user to intuitively and conveniently distinguish.

[0100] For example, in a specific scenario, a number of LED beads are arranged on the top surfaces of the five finger-dividing blocks. When the hand is not placed on the electrotherapy finger-dividing board, the beads on the five finger-dividing blocks can all be turned off. When the left hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger-dividing board but the treatment has not been started yet, the beads on the middle three finger-dividing blocks and the fifth finger-dividing block 50 can be constantly on. After the treatment for the left hand is started, the control circuit can control the beads on these four finger-dividing blocks to flash. The logic for the right hand is similar. When the right hand is placed on the electrotherapy finger-dividing board but the treatment has not been started yet, the beads on the middle three finger-dividing blocks and the first finger-dividing block 10 can be constantly on. After the treatment for the right hand is started, the control circuit can control the beads on these four finger-dividing blocks to flash. In this implementation manner, the first information and the second information are distinguished by the different positions of the flashing beads. And in this implementation manner, through flashing and non-flashing, the user can also know whether the electrotherapy has been started currently.

[0101] Further, in a specific implementation manner of the present invention, it may further include:

[0102] A wrist fixing device arranged on the bottom plate 60 for fixing the wrist.

[0103] The wrist fixing device can improve the fixing effect and facilitate the use of the user. The specific position and the shape structure of the wrist fixing device can also be set according to the actual situation. For example, a strap-type wrist fixing device can be adopted.

[0104] In a specific implementation manner of the present invention, it further includes:

[0105] A current adjustment circuit connected to the power supply circuit for adjusting the frequency of the pulsed electrical signal output by the power supply circuit and the duration of each single pulse according to the received control instruction.

[0106] In practical applications, pulsed electrical stimulation is usually used for treatment. In this implementation manner, considering that different patients have different situations, that is, different requirements, therefore, by adjusting the frequency of the pulsed electrical signal output by the power supply circuit and the duration of each single pulse through the current adjustment circuit, the user experience is improved, which is beneficial to the solution of the present application to adapt to different user requirements.

[0107] Specifically, for the direct current output by the power supply circuit, the current adjustment circuit can control the conduction frequency of the main switch at the output end of the power supply circuit and the duration of each conduction, so that the output becomes a pulsed signal, and the frequency of the pulsed electrical signal output by the power supply circuit and the duration of each single pulse are controlled. And in the foregoing implementation manner, the electrostimulation block is selectively idled through the control circuit. Then, in this manner, the functions in the current adjustment circuit can also be implemented based on the control circuit in the foregoing embodiment, which is beneficial to reducing the number of components required by the solution and reducing the cost.

Moreover, the electric stimulation is added in the present application, which can play roles such as promoting blood circulation, reducing inflammation and relieving pain, and relieving spasm, thereby forming a combined treatment and achieving twice the result with half the effort. Specifically, a gap matching the human finger is formed between two adjacent finger-dividing blocks, and an electric stimulation block is provided on each of the left and right side walls of each finger-dividing block and the polarities of these two electric stimulation blocks are opposite, and the polarities of the electric stimulation blocks on the same-direction side walls of different finger-dividing blocks are the same. Therefore, after a finger is placed in the gap between adjacent finger-dividing blocks, a complete electric stimulation circuit can be formed with the power supply circuit. For the thumb, when treating the right hand, the right thumb electric stimulation block 70 provided in the present application, the right thumb, and the electric stimulation block on the left side wall of the first finger-dividing block 10 form a complete electric stimulation circuit with the power supply circuit. Correspondingly, when treating the left hand, the left thumb electric stimulation block 80 provided in the present application, the left thumb, and the electric stimulation block on the right side wall of the fifth finger-dividing block 50 form a complete electric stimulation circuit with the power supply circuit. In summary, the solution of the present application can effectively improve the reuse rate of the finger-dividing board and is beneficial to improving the treatment effect.
