Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rehabilitation equipment, and in particular to a pneumatic rehabilitation glove. Background Art
[0002] According to statistics, there are currently over 10 million stroke patients, with over 2 million new patients each year. Hand dysfunction after stroke is the most common and difficult to recover from, requiring long-term rehabilitation training to restore hand function. With advances in rehabilitation robotics, more and more hand rehabilitation robots are being used to treat patients with hand dysfunction.
[0003] Currently, most common hand rehabilitation training robots are rigid, bulky, and complex, making them uncomfortable for patients and prone to secondary injuries. Flexible hand rehabilitation training devices, on the other hand, are often constructed as training gloves, utilizing bellows to drive joint motion. However, these gloves offer limited finger flexion, making the bellows prone to deformation and resulting in low force transmission and conversion efficiency, leading to poor rehabilitation training outcomes. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic rehabilitation glove to improve the problems of low force transmission and conversion efficiency and poor rehabilitation effect of rehabilitation gloves in the prior art.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a pneumatic rehabilitation glove, comprising a glove body and several telescopic parts; the telescopic parts are hollow and are used for telescoping; the glove body includes a finger part, which is used to correspond to each finger of a subject, and a part of the several telescopic parts is arranged on the finger part, so that at least one of the telescopic parts is arranged corresponding to the distal phalanx of at least one finger of the subject; a part of the several telescopic parts is arranged on at least one finger of the subject, and is arranged on the remaining part of the finger except the distal phalanx, so that at least two of the telescopic parts are arranged corresponding to any phalanx of at least one finger of the subject that is not the distal phalanx.
[0006] The pneumatic rehabilitation gloves of the present invention have the following beneficial effects: by providing the wearable body, the gloves are easier for the subject to use. By providing a plurality of the telescopic portions, at least one of the telescopic portions is provided on the distal phalanx of at least one finger of the subject, and at least two of the telescopic portions are provided on the remaining portion of the subject's finger excluding the distal phalanx. This allows the subject's middle or proximal phalanx to be provided with two or more telescopic portions, allowing the subject's phalanges excluding the distal phalanx to have two or more telescopic points, achieving the goals of multi-point telescopic and multi-point fixation. This ensures that the gloves fit the subject's fingers perfectly, increases force transmission and conversion efficiency, allows the subject's fingers to have a large flexion angle during training, avoids arching, and ensures effective rehabilitation.
[0007] In a feasible solution, at least one of the multiple telescopic parts is arranged at the phalanges of the finger portion corresponding to the human finger. The beneficial effect is that by arranging the telescopic part at the phalanges corresponding to the human finger, the position of the telescopic part can be flexibly set.
[0008] In a feasible solution, at least one of the multiple telescopic parts is provided at a joint of a human finger corresponding to the finger part. The beneficial effect is that by providing the telescopic part at a joint corresponding to a human finger, the corresponding human finger can be flexed and extended when the telescopic part is extended or retracted.
[0009] In one feasible solution, a connecting portion is provided between any two adjacent telescopic portions on the finger portion. The connecting portion is hollow and is used to connect the two adjacent telescopic portions. This advantageously allows for easier ventilation and control of the telescopic portions' expansion and contraction by connecting the telescopic portions at both ends.
[0010] In a feasible solution, the connecting portion and the telescopic portion have the same or different structures. The beneficial effect is that such an arrangement facilitates configuration of the length and number of the telescopic portions on the finger portion corresponding to a human finger as required.
[0011] In a feasible solution, the telescopic portion is a bellows, which has the beneficial effect of arranging the telescopic portion as a bellows, making it easier to telescope during ventilation.
[0012] In one feasible solution, a fixing member is further included; the fixing member is disposed on the glove body and between any adjacent telescopic portions, and is used to fix at least one of the telescopic portion and the connecting portion. The beneficial effect is that the fixing member facilitates the fixation of the telescopic portion to the glove body, and the positioning of the fixing member at a position corresponding to the connecting portion facilitates the normal expansion and contraction of the telescopic portion and the transmission of force to the wearer's hand.
[0013] In one feasible solution, the fixing member is provided with a fixing hole, and at least one of the telescopic portion or the connecting portion is sleeved into the fixing hole. This has the beneficial effect that, by providing the fixing hole, the connecting portion or the telescopic portion can be fixed by placing it into the fixing hole, thereby ensuring fixing stability.
[0014] In one feasible solution, the fixing member is disposed around the periphery of at least one of the telescopic portion and the connecting portion. This advantageously fixes the telescopic portion or the connecting portion by surrounding the fixing member, thereby preventing the telescopic portion or the connecting portion from separating from the fixing member.
[0015] In one feasible solution, the fixing hole is provided with an opening for allowing at least one of the telescopic portion or the connecting portion to pass through. The beneficial effect is that, by providing the opening, the telescopic portion or the connecting portion can be snapped into the fixing hole through the opening, facilitating disassembly and installation.
[0016] In a feasible solution, any two adjacent telescopic parts are integrally structured; or any connecting part and the telescopic part connected thereto are integrally structured. This arrangement has the beneficial effect of ensuring sealing and reducing assembly complexity.
[0017] In one feasible solution, a restraining member is further included; the restraining member is disposed on the finger portion and surrounds the telescopic portion, and is used to limit the range of motion of the telescopic portion. This advantageously provides the telescopic portion with a restraining member, thereby securing the telescopic portion without affecting its extension and retraction, further improving the fit between the telescopic portion and the finger portion and ensuring a guaranteed flexion angle.
[0018] In a feasible solution, the telescopic portion is a bellows, and the restraining member is arranged at the trough of the bellows. The beneficial effect is that such an arrangement is easy to install.
[0019] In one feasible solution, the restraining member has at least two restraining portions, and the number of corrugated tube peaks between any two adjacent restraining portions is at least one. This advantageously provides the restraining member with at least two fixing points, reducing the restraining force exerted by the restraining member on a single fixing point of the telescopic portion and preventing damage to the telescopic portion. Furthermore, setting the number of corrugated tube peaks between any two adjacent restraining portions to at least one facilitates flexible configuration of the restraining member.
[0020] In a feasible solution, a resisting member is further included; the resisting member is arranged on the finger portion, and the restraining member is arranged on the resisting member. The beneficial effect is that the provision of the resisting member facilitates the installation of the restraining member.
[0021] In one feasible solution, the abutment is provided with at least two fixing ears, each located on either side of the abutment, and used to fix the restraining member. This advantageously allows the restraining member to be fixed to the ears during use, thereby facilitating symmetrical placement of the restraining member.
[0022] In one feasible solution, an air supply device is further included; the air supply device is connected to the telescopic portion and is used to drive the telescopic portion to extend and retract. The beneficial effect is that the provision of the air supply device facilitates the telescopic portion to extend and retract, enabling rehabilitation training for the subject.
[0023] In one feasible solution, an air circuit switch is further included; the air circuit switch is installed in the air supply device and is used to control the connection between the air supply device and the telescopic part. The beneficial effect is that by installing the air circuit switch and installing it in the pipeline connecting the air supply device and the telescopic part, it is convenient to control different fingers or less than all fingers for training as needed.
[0024] In a feasible solution, the glove body further includes a palm portion; the finger portion is disposed on the palm portion, and the palm portion is used for the subject to wear. The beneficial effect is that the provision of the palm portion makes it easier for the subject to wear the glove.
[0025] In a feasible solution, the finger portion and the palm portion are an integrated structure, which has the beneficial effect of facilitating the production of the glove body, improving the structural strength of the glove body, and preventing the finger portion and the palm portion from falling off.
[0026] In a feasible solution, the finger portion and the palm portion are both provided with the telescopic portion, which has the beneficial effect of facilitating the flexion of the metacarpophalangeal joint during air supply.
[0027] In one feasible solution, the glove body further includes a first fixing portion and a second fixing portion; the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are respectively disposed on either side of the palm portion, and both the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion are provided with Velcro fasteners. This advantageously makes it easier for a subject to don and remove the glove body.
[0028] In one feasible solution, the number of telescopic parts provided on the finger portion corresponding to at least one finger is greater than the number of finger joints in the finger portion. This advantageously allows a finger with three phalanges to be provided with at least four telescopic parts, and a finger with two phalanges to be provided with at least three telescopic parts. This allows the telescopic parts to transfer most of the force applied to the finger during telescoping, ensuring a stable degree of finger bending. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
