[0032] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the positions or positional relationships in which the product of the invention is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific position, be constructed and operated in a specific position, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] In addition, the terms "parallel", "vertical", etc. do not mean that the components must be absolutely parallel or vertical, but can be slightly tilted.

[0039] Example

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1~2 The present embodiment provides a digital graphic sound matching chess 1000 for improving memory. The digital graphic sound matching chess 1000 includes: a base 100 and a plurality of chess pieces 200.

[0041] The base 100 has a placement groove 110 for placing the chess piece 200 .

[0042] The chess pieces 200 are numbered in sequence, and a shape attribute and a color attribute are set for each chess piece 200 .

[0043] The base 100 also has a broadcasting component (not shown in the figure), which is used to broadcast the number, shape and color of the chess piece 200.

[0044] The Digital Graphic and Sound Matching Chess 1000 is designed for elderly people with Alzheimer's disease to train their memory, thereby alleviating symptoms, slowing down the progression of the disease, or achieving the purpose of auxiliary treatment.

[0045] During use, the broadcast component plays the number, shape and color of a chess piece 200. Through this information, the patient is asked to find the corresponding chess piece 200 and take it out from the base 100, so as to train the judgment ability, recognition ability and memory ability. For patients with mild symptoms, the broadcast component can be used to play any two features of the number, shape and color of a chess piece 200, so that the patient can find the corresponding chess piece 200 and take it out from the base 100, so as to train the patient's judgment and recognition ability to a higher degree. Alternatively, the broadcast component can be used to play any one feature of the number, shape and color of a chess piece 200, so that the patient can find all the chess pieces 200 with the corresponding features.

[0046] In addition, the patient can also try to arrange the chess pieces 200 according to the numbers on the flags, thereby further enriching the usage methods.

[0047] Digital Graphics and Sound Matching Chess 1000 is based on vision, touch and hearing, and integrates elements such as graphic cognition, color cognition, digital cognition, sound cognition, judgment recognition, feature extraction, etc. It can comprehensively train the patient's central nervous system, which has positive significance for alleviating symptoms and assisting treatment.

[0048] In general, the Digital Graphics and Sounds Matching Chess 1000 is designed for elderly people with Alzheimer's disease. It has a simple structure and rich and diverse uses. It focuses on vision, touch, and hearing to provide elderly people with Alzheimer's disease with a variety of training in graphic cognition, color cognition, number cognition, and sound cognition. It aims to improve the memory of the elderly and has positive significance for alleviating the disease and conducting auxiliary treatment.

[0049] In this embodiment, there are 9 chess pieces 200, which are divided into three groups, each group having 3 chess pieces 200. Among them, the main parts of the three chess pieces 200 in the first group are triangular prism-shaped, the main parts of the three chess pieces 200 in the second group are quadrangular prism-shaped, and the main parts of the three chess pieces 200 in the third group are cylindrical. In each group, one chess piece 200 is blue, one chess piece 200 is red, and one chess piece 200 is green.

[0050] The placement slots 110 are divided into three rows, the edges of the placement slots 110 in the first row are all red, the edges of the placement slots 110 in the second row are all blue, and the edges of the placement slots 110 in the third row are all green. The placement slots 110 are divided into zones by color. During use, the patient can also try to put the chess piece 200 into the placement slot 110 of the corresponding color to further enrich the training mode.

[0051] The base 100 also has a recording component, which is electrically connected to the broadcasting component to play the recording through the broadcasting component. The recording component can be used to record sounds, especially to record the names and words of family members that are most familiar to the elderly with Alzheimer's disease, so as to help them with sound cognition training. Or, the desired chess piece 200 taking rules can be recorded, so that the patient can operate according to the instructions.

[0052] Furthermore, please combine Figure 3 In order to improve the feedback during use and further stimulate the patient's senses, each chess piece 200 has a conductive column 210 at the bottom, and each placement slot 110 has a blind hole 120 at the bottom for matching with the conductive column 210. A first wire 130 is embedded in one side of the hole wall of the blind hole 120, and a second wire 140 is embedded in the other side of the hole wall of the blind hole 120. When the conductive column 210 is matched with the blind hole 120, the conductive column 210 conducts the first wire 130 and the second wire.

[0053] An indicator light 150 is provided at the edge of each placement slot 110, and the two ends of the power supply circuit of the indicator light 150 are respectively electrically connected to the first wire 130 and the second wire 140. When the chess piece 200 is placed in the placement slot 110 and the conductive column 210 is fitted into the blind hole 120, the first wire 130 and the second wire 140 are connected, the circuit forms a complete loop, and the indicator light 150 lights up. When the chess piece 200 is taken out, the circuit between the first wire 130 and the second wire 140 is disconnected, and the indicator light 150 goes out.

[0054] Through this design, when the patient takes and places the chess piece 200, he can directly know whether the chess piece 200 is taken out and whether the chess piece 200 is successfully put back. This is more direct and timely in terms of sensory perception, which makes it easier for his nerve center to respond in a timely manner, and helps to further improve the training effect.

[0055] In this embodiment, the cavity of the blind hole 120 is cylindrical, and the conductive pillar 210 is also cylindrical. The hole diameter of the blind hole 120 is equal to the outer diameter of the conductive pillar 210. When the conductive pillar 210 is fitted into the blind hole 120, the ends of the first wire 130 and the second wire 140 are both in contact with the side wall of the conductive pillar 210.

[0056] Furthermore, please combine Figures 4 to 6The main body of the chess piece 200 includes a first column 220, a second column 230 and a third column 240 which are coaxially connected in sequence.

[0057] The second column 230 is cylindrical, and the outer wall of the second column 230 is fixedly connected to the base block 241, and the base block 241 is connected to the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243. The first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 are both arc-shaped, and the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base block 241. The first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 are both made of rigid materials, and the base block 241 is made of elastic material.

[0058] In a natural state, the cylindrical surfaces corresponding to the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 are coaxially arranged with the second cylinder 230 , and the radius of the arc corresponding to the first extension rib 242 is greater than the radius of the arc corresponding to the second extension rib 243 .

[0059] The outer wall of the second column 230 is also provided with a push switch 250, the end of the second extension rib 243 is attached to the pressing portion of the push switch 250, and the end of the first extension rib 242 is attached to the side of the second extension rib 243 away from the pressing portion. A prompt circuit (not shown in the figure) is provided inside the main body of the chess piece 200, and a prompt light 260 of the prompt circuit is located at the top of the chess piece 200, and the prompt light 260 is controlled by the push switch 250.

[0060] In this embodiment, the prompt light 260 is a digital light, which can also be used to number the chess pieces 200.

[0061] The chess piece 200 also has a rubber sleeve 270, which is sleeved on the second cylinder 230 and connected between the first cylinder 220 and the third cylinder 240. The shape of the rubber sleeve 270 is the same as that of the first cylinder 220 and the third cylinder 240, and the outer diameter of the rubber sleeve 270 is the same as that of the first cylinder 220 and the third cylinder 240. That is, if the main body of the chess piece 200 is a triangular prism, then the first cylinder 220, the third cylinder 240 and the rubber sleeve 270 are all triangular prisms. If the main body of the chess piece 200 is a quadrangular prism, then the first cylinder 220, the third cylinder 240 and the rubber sleeve 270 are all quadrangular prisms. If the main body of the chess piece 200 is a cylindrical shape, then the first cylinder 220, the third cylinder 240 and the rubber sleeve 270 are all cylindrical.

[0062] With such a design, taking the cylindrical type as an example, during use, when the patient grasps the rubber sleeve 270 to take the chess piece 200, no matter from which direction the patient grasps, that is, no matter from which direction the fingers grasp (such as A1 and A2, or B1 and B2 in the figure), the patient can apply force to the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 by pressing the rubber sleeve 270.

[0063] When grasping from A1 and A2, the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 are subjected to pressure, and the connection parts of the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 with the base block 241 are elastically deformed, and the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 are close to each other. Due to the structural characteristics of the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243, the second extension rib 243 will directly press the push switch 250, and the first extension rib 242 will indirectly press the push switch 250 by pressing the second extension rib 243, thereby triggering the push switch 250 and the prompt light 260 is on.

[0064] When grabbing from B1 and B2, the intersection of the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 is subjected to pressure, and the connection parts of the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 with the base block 241 are elastically deformed, and the intersection of the first extension rib 242 and the second extension rib 243 is directly pushed toward the push switch 250, thereby triggering the push switch 250 and the prompt light 260 lights up.

[0065] After the prompt light 260 is on, the patient can also receive feedback, indicating that the chess piece 200 is picked up. Through this design, the feedback in the process of taking the chess piece 200 is further improved, which helps to further improve the training effect.

[0066] Furthermore, the prompt circuit also has a prompt sound unit (not shown in the figure), which is used to play the shape, color and number of the chess piece 200 when the circuit is connected. This further improves the feedback, allowing the patient to know what characteristics the chess piece 200 he picked up has and whether it is the same as the result of his judgment. Combining "judgment-feedback-rejudgment" is more suitable for more comprehensive training for patients, which has a significant effect on further optimizing the training effect.

[0067] In summary, Digital Graphics and Sound Matching Chess 1000 is designed for the elderly with Alzheimer's disease. It has a simple structure and diverse gameplay. It focuses on vision, touch, and hearing to provide the elderly with Alzheimer's disease with a variety of training in graphic cognition, color cognition, number cognition, and sound cognition. It aims to improve the memory of the elderly and has positive significance for alleviating the disease and conducting auxiliary treatment.
