DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the device for improving children's intelligence through direct current stimulation provided in this embodiment includes: a controller 6, a cathode plate 4, an anode plate 5, a rotator 1, a bracket 2, a connecting belt 3 and a power supply for providing a working voltage for the controller.

[0024] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a protruding shaft 15 is provided on the rotator 1 (the rotator can be rotated manually or electrically), and at the same time, along the axial direction of the shaft 15, two conductive tubes 11 are arranged outside the shaft 15 in parallel, and the two conductive tubes 11 are respectively electrically connected to the two output electrodes of the controller 6, so that the current output by the controller 6 can be transmitted to the two conductive tubes 11 respectively, which provides conditions for the subsequent transmission of the current to the cathode plate 4 or the anode plate 5 on the bracket 2 through the conductive tubes 11. In addition, an insulating sleeve 12 is provided between the two conductive tubes 11, and the two conductive tubes 11 are separated by the insulating sleeve 12, thereby preventing interference or short circuit between the conductive tubes 11. At the same time, each bracket 2 is arranged in an arc shape to better conform to the shape of the patient's head, so that the bracket 2 can fit the patient's head and ensure the use effect. In addition, the plurality of brackets 2 are divided into two groups. At this time, one end of the two groups of brackets 2 is respectively sleeved outside the two conductive tubes 11, that is, the two groups of brackets 2 rotate outside the corresponding conductive tubes 11, so as to realize the expansion or tightening of the brackets 2. When the brackets 2 are in the expanded state, the plurality of brackets 2 enclose a storage space, which is convenient for sleeved on the patient's head, and when the brackets 2 are in the tightened state, the plurality of brackets 2 are stacked on each other, occupying a small space and being convenient for storage. In addition, each bracket 2 is provided with an elastic contact piece 21 with one end against the corresponding conductive tube 11, that is, the bracket 2 and the rotator 1 are electrically connected through the elastic contact piece 21 and the conductive tube 11, and the elastic contact piece 21 can ensure that the bracket 2 is always in contact with the conductive tube 11 during the rotation process, thereby ensuring the reliability of the electrical connection. In addition, the two ends of the connecting belt 3 are detachably connected and form a ring structure, that is, the size of the space enclosed by the connecting belt 3 is adjusted by whether the two ends of the connecting belt 3 are connected and the state when connected, thereby providing conditions for subsequent adaptation to different patients, and having better adaptability. At this time, the end of each bracket 2 away from the conductive tube 11 is connected to the connecting belt 3, that is, the end of each bracket 2 away from the conductive tube 11 is connected by the connecting belt 3, which ensures the stability of the structure. At the same time, the connecting belt 3 also limits the rotation angle of the bracket 2 to prevent the bracket 2 from rotating excessively, and the safety is higher. Figure 4As shown, an embedding groove 22 is provided on each bracket 2 and is located near the inner side of the arc, and a conductive contact 221 electrically connected to the elastic contact piece 21 on the corresponding bracket 2 is provided in the embedding groove 22, so that the current transmitted to the elastic contact piece 21 through the conductive tube 11 can be transmitted to the corresponding conductive contact 221, and at the same time, the cathode piece 4 or the anode piece 5 in contact with the conductive contact 221 can be selectively embedded in the embedding groove 22, that is, the current output by the controller 6 is transmitted to the cathode piece 4 or the anode piece 5 through the conductive tube 11, the elastic contact piece 21, and the conductive contact 221, which provides conditions for realizing scalp stimulation. In addition, the cathode piece 4 or the anode piece 5 can be installed by selecting different numbers of embedding grooves 22, so that the number of cathode pieces 4 and anode pieces 5 can be selected, thereby increasing the stimulation points, having stronger expandability and more reasonable structural design.

[0025] More specifically, a main support frame 13 extending out is provided on the rotator 1, and the shape of the main support frame 13 is set to be the same as the shape of the bracket 2, but the size of the main support frame 13 is set to be larger than the size of the bracket 2, so that when the bracket 2 is tightened, the bracket 2 can be tightened inside the main support frame 13, that is, the protection of the bracket 2 is achieved through the main support frame 13, and the structural design is more reasonable. At the same time, the main support frame 13 is set between the two groups of brackets 2, that is, the two groups of brackets 2 located on both sides of the main support frame 13 can be tightened from both sides of the main support frame 13, and the main support frame 13 can also provide the same supporting force for the brackets 2 on both sides, ensuring the uniformity of the structural force. In addition, the end of the main support frame 13 away from the rotator 1 is also connected to the connecting belt 3, so that the connecting belt 3 is also connected to the main support frame 13, so that the end of the bracket 2 connected to the connecting belt 3 can also be supported by the main support frame 13, ensuring the stability and reliability of the structure, and the structural strength is higher.

[0026] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is an installation diagram of a resilient contact piece according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, one end of the elastic contact piece 21 is hinged on the bracket 2, so that the elastic contact piece 21 can swing on the bracket 2. At the same time, the non-hinged end of the elastic contact piece 21 abuts against the outside of the corresponding conductive tube 11, thereby realizing the connection between the elastic contact piece 21 and the corresponding conductive tube 11. In addition, the arrangement direction of the elastic contact piece 21 is arranged at an angle to the radial direction of the conductive tube 11, that is, the elastic contact piece 21 is arranged along a tangent direction approximately to the conductive tube 11, thereby increasing the contact area between the elastic contact piece 21 and the conductive tube 11, avoiding the problem of poor contact, and making the structural design more reasonable.

[0027] More specifically, the bracket 2 is also provided with a clamping block 211 and a clamping spring 212. At this time, the clamping block 211 is arranged on the bracket 2 and is located on one side of the elastic contact piece 21. Preferably, the clamping block 211 is arranged on the side of the elastic contact piece 21 inclined toward the conductive tube 11, and the clamping spring 212 is located between the clamping block 211 and the elastic contact piece 21, and the two ends of the clamping spring 212 are respectively clamped on the clamping block 211 and the elastic contact piece 21, and the clamping spring 212 is in a compressed state, so that the clamping spring 212 can provide pressure to the elastic contact piece 21, so that the elastic contact piece 21 can be pressed more tightly on the corresponding conductive tube 11, further preventing the problem of poor contact, and the structural design is more reasonable.

[0028] Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of the embedded groove on the bracket of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, at least two conductive contacts 221 are arranged in each embedding groove 22 provided on the bracket 2. A suitable number of conductive contacts 221 are selected according to actual use requirements, and the conductive contacts 221 in the same embedding groove 22 are dispersedly arranged, so that after the cathode sheet 4 or the anode sheet 5 is installed in the embedding groove 22, different parts of the cathode sheet 4 or the anode sheet 5 are in contact with the corresponding conductive contacts 221, thereby preventing the problem of poor contact of a single conductive contact 221 and causing the device to be unusable, and ensuring better use.

[0029] More specifically, the two ends of the connecting belt 3 used to connect the end of the bracket 2 away from the rotator 1 are snap-connected, making it easier to connect and disconnect the two ends of the connecting belt 3, thereby making it easier to put the device on the patient's head, and also facilitating the adjustment of the size of the space enclosed by the bracket 2, and the structural design is more reasonable.

[0030] More specifically, one end of the connecting belt 3 is provided with a plurality of clamping holes, and the other end of the connecting belt 3 is provided with a plurality of clamping blocks 31 corresponding to the clamping holes, and when the two ends of the connecting belt 3 are connected, the clamping blocks 31 are clamped into the corresponding clamping holes, that is, after the clamping blocks 31 are taken out from the clamping holes, the two ends of the connecting belt 3 are separated, which is convenient for the stent 2 to be folded, and after the clamping blocks 31 are clamped into the clamping holes, the two ends of the connecting belt 3 are connected, at this time, the connecting belt 3 forms a ring structure, so that the space enclosed by the stent 2 after it is unfolded can be limited by the connecting belt 3, so that it can be stably mounted on the patient's head, and the structural design is more reasonable. It is worth pointing out that the connecting belt 3 is a flexible belt, which is convenient for the connecting belt 3 to bend synchronously when the stent 2 is folded, ensuring that the stent 2 can be completely folded, and the structural design is more reasonable.

[0031] More specifically, the number of the card holes on the connecting belt 3 is greater than the number of the card blocks 31, that is, the card blocks 31 can be selected to be inserted into different card holes, thereby adjusting the space surrounded by the connecting belt 3 to meet the usage needs of different patients and having higher adaptability.

[0032] More specifically, the rotator 1 has an installation cavity 14. At this time, the controller 6 is arranged in the installation cavity 14, that is, the installation cavity 14 provides an installation space for the installation of the controller 6, thereby improving portability and making the structural design more reasonable.

[0033] More specifically, the power supply provided in the rotator 1 is preferably a rechargeable power supply 141, which provides power to the controller 6, further improving the portability of the device. Similarly, the rechargeable power supply 141 is provided in the installation cavity 14, and the installation cavity 14 provides an installation space for the rechargeable power supply 141. In addition, a charging hole connected to the outside is provided on the cavity wall of the installation cavity 14, and a charging head 142 is provided in the charging hole, so that the rechargeable battery can be supplemented with power through the charging head 142, thereby realizing sustainable use of the device.
