The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments:

[0027] First Embodiment

[0028] As shown Figures 1-3 in the figure, an electro - stimulation rehabilitation physiotherapy device includes a physiotherapy mechanism 100. The physiotherapy mechanism includes a chair seat, and the chair seat includes a seat surface 101. On both sides of the seat surface, there are a left armrest 104 and a right armrest 105 respectively. An electro - stimulation system is integrated in the left armrest and / or the right armrest.

[0029] Among them, the chair seat of the physiotherapy mechanism can be an office chair, suitable for people who are tired from sitting at work for a long time; the chair seat of the physiotherapy mechanism can also be a car seat, and the applicable population includes bus drivers, taxi drivers, and online car - hailing drivers. They can all perform electro - stimulation for 20 minutes during breaks. Through electro - stimulation, it can relieve tense muscle tension and mental relaxation, so as to improve driving safety.

[0030] This electro - stimulation system can also be used for electro - stimulation of brain waves to assist in the treatment of hemiplegic patients. The working principle is to collect and analyze brain - wave signals, and use neurofeedback or electro - stimulation technology to adjust abnormal brain activities, promote the recovery of the function of damaged brain areas, and thus improve limb movement disorders. This process combines the theory of neural plasticity. By strengthening the compensatory ability of healthy brain areas or activating dormant neurons, it helps hemiplegic patients gradually recover their motor functions.

[0031] Furthermore, a backrest 102 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the seat surface, and the backrest and the seat surface are locked and fixed through a knob 103. This technical feature is prior art and has been widely used in life, such as adjustable - angle car seats.

[0032] In at least one embodiment, a lower support mechanism 200 is provided at the bottom of the physiotherapy mechanism.

[0033] Furthermore, the lower support mechanism includes a lower bracket 201. A plurality of universal wheels 202 are provided at the bottom of the lower bracket. There is a pneumatic rod 203 between the lower bracket and the physiotherapy mechanism. This pneumatic rod can be purchased from an external brand, such as Sbolin. This pneumatic rod is applicable to study desks, lift desks, swivel chairs, office chairs, etc.

[0034] In at least one embodiment, a control system is embedded in the left armrest or the right armrest, and the control system is plugged and locked with the left armrest or the right armrest, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.

[0035] In some embodiments, the control system can also be arranged in the seat surface or the backrest.

[0036] In at least one embodiment, a heating layer is provided in the seat surface and / or the backrest.

[0037] Furthermore, the heating layer is one of a carbon - fiber heating layer, a graphene heating layer, a composite - fiber heating layer, an electric heating plate, a heating cable, or an electric heating film.

[0038] Further, a heart rate sensor and a stillness sensor are provided inside the backrest.

[0039] Further, a camera and a position tracker are provided at the top of the backrest. The camera can record the surrounding environment of the device and the user's situation, and the position tracker can record the running track of the device and display the position of the device. The data collected by the camera and the tracker are transmitted to a specified device through a wireless network module.

[0040] The electrostimulation rehabilitation physiotherapy device also has a positioning function, including three modes: driver positioning mode, one-key home, sharing positioning mode around, and caring alarm positioning mode. In the driver positioning mode, when the user goes out, family members can view their position through the mobile phone APP; in the sharing positioning mode around, those in urgent need can find the nearby device through the mini-program or APP and call for help; in the caring alarm positioning mode, when the heart rate sensor and the stillness sensor detect that the user's vital signs are abnormal, the system will automatically alarm and call for first aid, and at the same time send the position information to the family members.

[0041] In at least one embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, taking the right armrest as an example, the electrostimulation system includes a control board, electrode patches, a pulse generator, an electrostimulation driving circuit, a physiotherapy program memory, and a power supply. The control board is connected to the pulse generator, the physiotherapy program memory, the electrostimulation driving circuit, and the power supply. The control board, the pulse generator, and the power supply are all located in the right armrest. A control panel is provided on the side wall of the right armrest. On the control panel, there are provided a six-channel output port 31 for electrostimulation pulses, an electrode temperature adjustment button 33, a pulse mode switching button 34, an electrostimulation switch 35, and a frequency adjustment knob. The electrode patches are connected to the six-channel output port for electrostimulation pulses through wires. The control board is used to receive the instructions of the control panel

[0042] The control board is used to receive the instructions of the control panel and call the corresponding physiotherapy program from the physiotherapy program memory. The electrostimulation driving circuit generates the required electrostimulation pulse signals according to the physiotherapy program and performs electrostimulation on the user's body part through the electrode patches.

[0043] Electrostimulation rehabilitation physiotherapy is a very popular rehabilitation therapy in recent years. Because the cost of physiotherapy rehabilitation is low, it is a green therapy with remarkable effects and is a surface treatment suitable for people of all ages, so it is highly regarded by the public.

[0044] Further, a main power socket 38 and a main power switch 39 are also provided on the right armrest.

[0045] Further, an AED shock switch 36, an AED switch 37 and an AED electrode patch output port 32 are also provided on the right armrest. The control board is connected to the AED shock switch, the AED switch and the AED electrode patch output port. When the switch is turned on, there is a voice guidance prompt. The AED electrode patch output port is connected to a defibrillation electrode patch through a wire.

[0046] Basically, all patients who experience cardiac arrest and require cardiopulmonary resuscitation need to use an AED. In the event of cardiac arrest, only within the "golden 4 minutes" of the best rescue time, using an automated external defibrillator (AED) to defibrillate and perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the patient is the most effective electrical stimulation to stop sudden death. Such a seat back with the words AED is not only a mobile auxiliary tool, but also a walking life-saving device.

[0047] Second Embodiment

[0048] The difference from the first embodiment lies in the different structure of the lower support mechanism.

[0049] The lower support mechanism includes a lower frame 301. Four walking wheels 302 are installed on the lower frame. A driving mechanism is provided inside the lower frame. The driving mechanism can drive the walking wheels to rotate and turn, so as to facilitate the horizontal movement of the lower support mechanism. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the lower frame and the physiotherapy mechanism. The adjustment mechanism includes a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod and an upper plate. The first connecting rod 303, the second connecting rod 304, the upper plate 305 and the lower frame form a parallelogram mechanism. The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are rotatably connected to the lower frame. The bottom of the upper plate is provided with a first hinge seat and a second hinge seat 306. The upper end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the first hinge seat. The upper end of the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second hinge seat. A first electric cylinder is rotatably connected to the lower frame. The telescopic rod of the first electric cylinder is connected to the second connecting rod. The bottom of the upper plate is provided with an upper support seat 307. A seat surface 101 is rotatably connected to the upper support seat. A lower plate 308 is further provided at the bottom of the seat surface. A second electric cylinder 309 is rotatably connected to the lower plate. The telescopic rod of the second electric cylinder is rotatably connected to the bottom of the upper plate. By the telescopic movement of the first electric cylinder, the vertical height of the seat can be changed. By the action of the second electric cylinder, the inclination angle of the seat relative to the upper plate can be changed. The right armrest can be used to install an electrical stimulation system. The left armrest is used to install the control system of the lower support mechanism. Control buttons for controlling the forward movement, backward movement and rotational steering of the device are provided on the left armrest. This set of driving mechanism can directly adopt the driving mechanism of an existing electric wheelchair.

[0050] When the first electric cylinder acts to make the seat fit the lower frame, turn the knob 103 to make the backrest fit the seat surface, and the device can be stored for convenient transportation.

[0051] In the implementation, the electrical stimulation can be integrated on a single PCB board or on separate PCB boards. The advantage of the separate boards is that other functions are not affected when a single-channel electrical stimulation fails. Therefore, the independent and separate type is preferably adopted.

[0052] In the implementation of the travel device, it can be a walking aid for the elderly or a wheelchair. The wheelchair can be three-wheeled or four-wheeled.

[0053] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments.
