The rib 910 and the slot 920 are arranged opposite to each other, and the rib 910 and the slot 920 match each other. The rib 910 is used to be snapped into the slot 920. In order to prevent the first gas pipe 110 from being inserted into the corresponding second gas pipe 210, which may cause the thumb and little finger to move incorrectly during training, the length of one of the ribs 910 is less than the lengths of the other three ribs 910.
[0047] Please refer to 4. In this embodiment, the airbag connection device of the pneumatic rehabilitation glove further includes: a sealing rubber ring 700. The sealing rubber ring 700 is arranged at one end where the first air pipe 110 and the second air pipe 210 are connected, which can increase the friction force of the connection end between the first air pipe 110 and the second air pipe 210, and can also enhance the air tightness of the connection end between the first air pipe 110 and the second air pipe 210.
[0048] In this embodiment, the locking device includes a first locking mechanism 300 and a second locking mechanism 400. The first locking mechanism 300 connects the first connector 100 and the second connector 200. The second locking mechanism 400 connects the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.
[0049] See also Figures 3 to 8In this embodiment, the first locking mechanism 300 includes: a lock buckle 310, a lock hook 320, a spring 330, a limit block 340 and a connecting plate 350. The lock buckle 310 is connected to the end of the second joint 200 away from the airbag, and the lock buckle 310 is arranged in parallel with the second air supply pipe 210. There are two lock buckles 310 arranged opposite to each other. The two lock buckles 310 are respectively arranged on the corresponding side of the second joint 200. The limit block 340 is connected to the first joint 100, and the limit block 340 is arranged opposite to the lock buckle 310. There are two limit blocks 340 arranged opposite to each other, and the limit block 340 is arranged parallel to the first air supply pipe 110. The connecting plate 350 connects the first joint 100 and the limit block 340. There are two connecting plates 350 arranged opposite to each other, and the two connecting plates 350 are respectively connected to the corresponding limit blocks 340 of the first joint 100. The lock hook member 320 includes a handle end 322 and a lock hook end 321. The handle end 322 is arranged in parallel with the first gas pipe 110, the bottom of the handle end 322 is placed on the limit block 340, and the side of the handle end 322 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 350. The spring 330 is arranged perpendicular to the first gas pipe 110, the spring 330 connects the handle end 322 and the first joint 100, and the spring 330 is arranged on the side of the connecting plate 350 away from the limit block 340.
[0050] See also Fig. 9 In this embodiment, the lock buckle 310 is a protrusion, and a first inclined surface 311 and a second inclined surface 312 are provided on the lock buckle 310. The first inclined surface 311 is connected to the second inclined surface 312, and one end of the first inclined surface 311 close to the airbag is higher than the other end.
[0051] In this embodiment, the handle end 322 is connected to the connecting plate 350 via a pin.
[0052] In this embodiment, each of the first gas delivery pipes 110 is inserted into the corresponding second gas delivery pipe 210. During the process of inserting the first gas delivery pipe 110 into the corresponding second gas delivery pipe 210, the first contact surface of the locking hook end 321 moves along the first inclined surface 311 of the protrusion. The first contact surface is an inclined surface, and the inclination of the first contact surface is the same as the inclination of the first inclined surface 311. During the movement, the locking hook end 321 rotates around the pin shaft, and the spring 330 is in a compressed state. When the locking hook end 321 moves to the second contact surface and contacts the second inclined surface 312, the locking hook end 321 and the lock buckle 310 are buckled, so that the first joint 100 and the second joint 200 are in a buckled and locked state. The second contact surface is an inclined surface, and the inclination of the second contact surface is equal to the inclination of the second inclined surface 312. After the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are buckled and locked, the gas source inflates the airbag. When the airbag is under positive pressure, the second air pipe 210 tends to separate from the first air pipe 110, and the second contact surface and the second inclined surface 312 are buckled with each other to increase the reliability of locking.
[0053] In this embodiment, the airbag connection device of the pneumatic rehabilitation glove further includes an indication area. The indication area is disposed on the first joint 100 and the second joint 200 , and is used to indicate the plugging direction of the first air supply pipe 110 and the second air supply pipe 210 .
[0054] See also Figure 3 In this embodiment, the handle end 322 further includes a pressing area 323. The pressing area 323 is arranged on the end of the handle end 322 close to the gas source. The pressing area 323 is a finger-shaped groove, which improves the comfort of pressing. When the handle end 322 is pressed in a direction close to the first gas delivery pipe 110, the locking hook rotates around the pin axis in a direction away from the second inclined surface 312, and the locking hook and the lock buckle 310 are unlocked.
[0055] See also Figure 2 and Fig.10In this embodiment, the second locking mechanism 400 includes: a fixed block 410, an elastic locking pin assembly and a guide assembly 490. The fixed block 410 is connected to the second joint 200, and a cavity 420, a pipe 430, a branch pipe 440 and a slide groove 450 are arranged in the fixed block 410. The fixed block 410 is connected to the second joint 200, and the fixed block 410 is prismatic. The cavity 420 is arranged at one end of the fixed block 410 away from the airbag, and the cavity 420 is cylindrical, and a clamping groove is arranged in the cavity 420. One end of the pipe 430 is connected between the first gas pipe 110 and the second gas pipe 210, and the other end is communicated with the cavity 420. One end of the branch pipe 440 is connected between the first gas pipe 110 and the second gas pipe 210 through the pipe 430, and the other end is communicated with the cavity 420. A lock hole 480 is arranged on the first joint 100. The slide slot 450 is disposed opposite to the lock hole 480 , and the slide slot 450 is connected to the cavity 420 from the bottom of the cavity 420 . The opening end of the lock hole 480 is located at one end close to the slide slot 450 .
[0056] See also Figure 11 to Figure 12 In this embodiment, the elastic locking pin assembly includes: a drum 460 and a locking pin 470. The drum 460 is an arc-shaped drum, and the drum 460 is made of a soft material. The edge of the drum 460 is fixed in the clamping groove. One end of the locking pin 470 is connected to the drum 460, and the other end extends into the slide groove 450.
[0057] In this embodiment, one end of the branch pipe 440 is connected to the pipe 430, and the other end is connected to the cavity 420. The branch pipe 440 is arranged in parallel with the second gas delivery pipe 210. The eardrum 460 is located above the branch pipe 440. The eardrum 460 is an arc-shaped eardrum that protrudes away from the branch pipe 440. The eardrum 460 divides the cavity 420 into two upper and lower cavities that are not connected to each other. The eardrum 460 divides the cavity 420 into a positive pressure cavity connected to the pipe 430 and a negative pressure cavity connected to the branch pipe 440.
[0058] In this embodiment, the guide assembly 490 includes: a first arc-shaped member 491 and a second arc-shaped member 492. The first arc-shaped member 491 is disposed in the pipe 430 at one end close to the cavity 420, and the first arc-shaped member 491 is used to control the gas in the pipe 430 to flow from the pipe 430 into the cavity 420. The second arc-shaped member 492 is disposed in the branch pipe 440, and the second arc-shaped member 492 is used to control the gas in the cavity 420 to flow out of the branch pipe 440.
[0059] In this embodiment, the first arc-shaped member 491 is in the shape of a spherical crown with a slit in the middle. The first arc-shaped member 491 protrudes toward the direction close to the cavity 420, and its edge is reinforced with a circle of circular rings for easy installation. The edge becomes gradually thinner toward the middle, with an edge thickness of 0.5-2 mm and a middle thickness of about 0.1-0.5 mm, so that the gas can only flow into the cavity 420 through the first arc-shaped member 491, and cannot flow from the cavity 420 to the pipe 430. The structure of the first arc-shaped member 491 with thick edges and thin middle ensures that the airflow can be opened quickly without pressure loss, can be closed quickly and reliably in the reverse direction, and can withstand a certain reverse pressure. The second arc-shaped member 492 has the same structure as the first arc-shaped member 491. The second arc-shaped member 492 is arranged opposite to the first arc-shaped member 491. The second arc-shaped member 492 protrudes in the direction away from the cavity 420, so that the gas in the branch pipe 440 cannot flow from the second arc-shaped member 492 into the cavity 420. The gas in the cavity 420 can only flow from the cavity 420 into the pipe 430.
[0060] In other embodiments, the first arc-shaped member 491 is a one-way valve disposed in the pipeline 430 , and the second arc-shaped member 492 is a one-way valve disposed in the branch pipe 440 .
[0061] See also Fig.12 When the gas source just starts to inflate the airbag, a small amount of gas in the gas source enters the first gas pipe 110, a small amount of gas in the first gas pipe 110 first enters the pipe 430, and the remaining gas enters the airbag through the second gas pipe 210, so that the airbag is in a positive pressure state until the airbag reaches a certain air pressure to drive the fingers to perform fist rehabilitation training. The gas flow rate entering the pipe 430 is less than the gas flow rate entering the airbag, and part of the gas entering the pipe 430 can only pass through the first arc Component 491 enters the cavity 420, and part of the gas entering the cavity 420 presses on the eardrum 460 in the direction close to the slide groove 450. Under the pressure of the gas, the protruding part of the eardrum 460 sinks inward in the direction close to the slide groove 450, thereby pushing the locking pin 470 to be inserted into the locking hole 480. The locking pin 470 can be automatically inserted into the locking hole 480 when the gas source starts to inflate the airbag, and can quickly lock the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, thereby improving the reliability of locking and having high safety.
[0062] See also Fig.12In the present embodiment, when the gas source draws air from the airbag so that the airbag is under negative pressure, the gas in the airbag enters the first air pipe 110 through the second air pipe 210 and is drawn out for rehabilitation training operations, and the gas in the negative pressure cavity between the eardrum 460 and the slide groove 450 is pressurized and discharged from the cavity 420 into the branch pipe 440, and flows from the second arc-shaped member 492 to the first air pipe 110 and is drawn out. In the process of the gas in the negative pressure cavity being discharged into the branch pipe 440, the eardrum 460 is pressurized and sinks inward toward the slide groove 450, thereby pushing the locking pin 470 to be inserted into the locking hole 480, which can automatically lock the first joint 100 and the second joint 200 when the airbag is under negative pressure.
[0063] In this embodiment, the number of the second locking mechanisms 400 is 1 to 10.
[0064] See also Fig.10 In this embodiment, the airbag connection device of the pneumatic rehabilitation glove further includes: an air hole 500. The air hole 500 is provided on the cavity 420, and the air hole 500 is located above the eardrum 460. The air hole 500 is used for convection between the positive pressure cavity between the eardrum 460 and the pipe 430 and the external air. The gas flow through the air hole 500 is much smaller than the flow of the gas source.
[0065] See also Fig.10 In this embodiment, there is a first gap 600 between the slide slot 450 and the lock hole 480 , a second gap 610 between the fixing block 410 and the first joint 100 , and a third gap 620 between the slide slot 450 and the lock pin 470 .
[0066] In this embodiment, the equivalent diameter of the air hole 500 is 0.1-1mm. The equivalent diameters of the first gap 600, the second gap 610 and the third gap 620 are 0.1-1mm. During the conversion process of the airbag being inflated and deflated, since the equivalent diameters of the air hole 500, the first gap 600, the second gap 610 and the third gap 620 are relatively small, the positive pressure chamber always maintains the corresponding positive pressure, and the negative pressure chamber always maintains the corresponding negative pressure. During the finger clenching and back extension training, the locking pin 470 is always inserted into the locking hole 480, ensuring that the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are always reliably connected, which can reduce the safety hazards caused by quickly unlocking the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 when the airbag is under positive pressure, improve the reliability of the connection between the first air supply pipe and the second air supply pipe 210, and facilitate the replacement of gloves during or after training, which is highly practical.
[0067] In this embodiment, the air source inflates the airbag to drive the fingers to perform fist-making training, and the air source draws air from the airbag to drive the fingers to perform back extension training. When it is necessary to stop training and the air source stops supplying air to the first air supply pipe 110, the gas in the cavity 420 above the eardrum 460 is discharged to the outside of the cavity 420 through the air hole 500, and the air pressure in the cavity 420 above the eardrum 460 is consistent with the air pressure outside the cavity 420; the external air enters the third gap 620 through the second gap 610, and enters the first gap 600 from the third gap 620, and finally enters the negative pressure cavity between the eardrum 460 and the slide groove 450, until the air pressure in the negative pressure cavity is consistent with the air pressure outside the cavity 420; finally, the eardrum 460 drives the locking pin 470 to move away from the locking hole 480 until the locking pin 470 disengages from the locking hole 480, and the eardrum 460 returns to its natural position to complete the unlocking of the first joint 100 and the second joint 200.
[0068] In this embodiment, the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are locked in a double locking manner by engaging the locking hook end with the locking buckle 310 and inserting the locking pin 470 into the locking hole 480, thereby improving the firmness of the connection between the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 during training and reducing safety hazards. In addition, the air source can drive the locking pin 470 to automatically insert into the locking hole 480, thereby improving the locking efficiency and reliability of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200.

The locking device includes a first locking mechanism 300 and a second locking mechanism 400. A rib 910 is connected between two adjacent first air pipes 110. A slot 920 is connected between two adjacent second air pipes 210. The rib 910 is arranged opposite to the slot 920, and the rib 910 and the slot 920 match each other, and the rib 910 is used to be clamped in the slot 920. In order to prevent the first air supply tube 110 from being inserted into the wrong corresponding second air supply tube 210 and causing incorrect movements of the thumb and little finger during training, the length of one of the ribs 910 is smaller than the lengths of the other three ribs 910 .
[0071] In this embodiment, the first locking mechanism 300 has the same structure as the first locking mechanism 300 described above.
[0072] In this embodiment, the second locking mechanism 400 includes a first pneumatic locking mechanism and a second pneumatic locking mechanism. The first pneumatic locking mechanism is used to lock the first joint 100 and the second joint 200 when the airbag is under positive pressure. The second pneumatic locking mechanism is used to lock the first joint 100 and the second joint 200 when the airbag is under negative pressure.
[0073] See also Figure 13 to Figure 14 In this embodiment, the first pneumatic locking mechanism includes: a first fixed block 411 and a first elastic locking pin assembly. The first fixed block 411 is provided with a first cavity 421, a first pipe 431, a first slide groove 451 and a first opening 630, and the first fixed block 411 is connected to the second joint 200. The first cavity 421 is provided at one end of the first fixed block 411 away from the airbag, the first cavity 421 is cylindrical, and a first clamping groove is provided in the first cavity 421. One end of the first pipe 431 is connected between the first gas delivery pipe 110 and the second gas delivery pipe 210, and the other end is connected to the first cavity 421. The first joint 100 is provided with a first locking hole 481. The first slide groove 451 is arranged opposite to the first locking hole 481, and the first slide groove 451 is connected to the first cavity 421 from the bottom of the first cavity 421. The opening end of the first locking hole 481 is located at one end close to the first slide groove 451. The first opening 630 is connected to the first cavity 421 from one side of the first cavity 421 .
[0074] See also Figures 13 to 15 In this embodiment, the first elastic locking pin assembly includes: a first eardrum 461 and a first locking pin 471. The first eardrum 461 is an arc-shaped eardrum, and the first eardrum 461 is made of soft material. The edge of the first eardrum 461 is fixed in the first clamping groove. One end of the first locking pin 471 is connected to the first eardrum 461, and the other end extends into the first slide groove 451. The first eardrum 461 is an arc-shaped eardrum protruding in the direction away from the first slide groove 451. The first eardrum 461 divides the first cavity 421 into two upper and lower cavities that are not connected to each other. The first eardrum 461 divides the first cavity 421 into a positive pressure cavity connected to the first pipe 431 and a first air cavity connected to the first slide groove 451. The first opening 630 is connected to the side of the first air cavity away from the first pipe 431, and the first opening 630 is a channel for the first air cavity to convect with the external air.
[0075] See also Fig.15 When the air source just starts to inflate the airbag for fist-clenching training, a small amount of gas in the air source enters the first air pipe 110, and a small amount of gas in the first air pipe 110 first enters the first pipe 431, and the remaining gas enters the airbag through the second air pipe 210, so that the airbag is in a positive pressure state until the airbag reaches a certain air pressure to drive the fingers to perform fist-clenching rehabilitation training. The gas flow entering the first pipe 431 is less than the gas flow entering the airbag, and part of the gas entering the first pipe 431 flows into the first cavity 421. The first eardrum 461 is subjected to a smaller gas pressure, and the protruding part of the first eardrum 461 is affected by the gas. Under the action of the pressure of the body, it sinks inwardly in the direction close to the slide groove, thereby pushing the first locking pin 471 to be inserted into the first locking hole 481. The first locking pin 471 can be automatically inserted into the first locking hole 481 when the air source just starts to inflate the airbag, and can quickly lock the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, thereby improving the reliability of locking. In the process of inserting the first locking pin 471 into the first locking hole 481, the gas in the first air cavity is discharged to the outside of the first cavity 421, which can reduce the resistance of the protruding part of the first eardrum 461 to sink inwardly in the direction close to the first slide groove 451, thereby accelerating the speed and efficiency of the first locking pin 471 being inserted into the first locking hole 481.
[0076] See also Figures 16 to 18In this embodiment, the second pneumatic locking mechanism includes: a second fixed block 412 and a second elastic locking pin assembly. The second fixed block 412 is connected to the second joint 200, and a second cavity 422, a second pipe 432, a second slide groove 452 and a second opening 640 are provided in the second fixed block 412. The first cavity 421 is provided at one end of the second fixed block 412 away from the airbag, the second cavity 422 is cylindrical, and a second clamping groove is provided in the second cavity 422. One end of the second pipe 432 is connected between the first gas delivery pipe 110 and the second gas delivery pipe 210, and the other end is connected to the second cavity 422. A second locking hole 482 is provided on the first joint. The second slide groove 452 is arranged opposite to the second locking hole 482, and the second slide groove 452 is connected to the second cavity 422 from the bottom of the second cavity 422. The opening end of the second locking hole 482 is located near one end of the second slide groove 452. The second opening 640 is connected to the second cavity 422 from one side of the second cavity 422 .
[0077] See also Figures 16 to 18 In this embodiment, the second elastic locking pin assembly includes: a second eardrum 462 and a second locking pin 472. The second eardrum 462 has the same structure as the first eardrum 461. The second eardrum 462 is an arc-shaped eardrum. The second eardrum 462 is made of soft material. The edge of the second eardrum 462 is fixed in the second clamping groove. One end of the second locking pin 472 is connected to the second eardrum 462, and the other end extends into the second slide groove 452. The second eardrum 462 is an arc-shaped eardrum protruding away from the second slide groove 452. The second eardrum 462 divides the second cavity 422 into two upper and lower cavities that are not connected to each other. The second eardrum 462 divides the second cavity 422 into a negative pressure cavity connected to the second pipe 432 and a second air cavity in a relative position to the negative pressure cavity. The second opening 640 is connected to the side of the second air cavity away from the second pipe 432. The second opening 640 is a channel for the second air cavity to convect with the external air.
[0078] See also Fig.18 and Fig.14When it is necessary to switch from fisting training to finger back extension training, the air source draws air from the airbag, and the gas in the airbag enters the first air pipe 110 through the second air pipe 210 and is drawn out to drive the fingers to perform back extension training operations. The gas in the negative pressure chamber is pressurized and discharged from the second cavity 422 into the second pipe 432, flows from the second pipe 432 to the first air pipe 110 and is drawn out. In the process of the gas in the negative pressure chamber being discharged into the second pipe 432, the second eardrum 462 is pressurized to collapse in the direction close to the slide groove, thereby pushing the second locking pin 472 to be inserted into the second locking hole 482, and can automatically lock the first joint 100 and the second joint 200 when the airbag is under negative pressure. In this process, the gas in the positive pressure chamber is drawn out into the first air pipe 110, so that the collapsed first eardrum 461 rebounds in the direction away from the first slide groove 451 until it returns to its natural position.
[0079] In this embodiment, when the air source inflates the airbag to drive the fingers to perform fist rehabilitation training, the airbag is in a positive pressure state, and the air source can drive the first locking pin 471 to automatically insert into the first locking hole 481, and the second locking pin 472 is in a natural position. When the air source deflates the airbag to drive the fingers to perform back extension rehabilitation training, the airbag is in a negative pressure state, and the air source can drive the second locking pin 472 to automatically insert into the second locking hole 482, and the first locking pin 471 returns to the natural position, and can lock the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 while the air source is alternately inflating and deflating the airbag. At the same time, the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 are locked by the first locking mechanism 300, and the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 can be firmly locked, with high locking efficiency and reliability.
