DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. Here, the exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their descriptions are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention due to unnecessary details, the accompanying drawings only show structures and / or processing steps closely related to the solutions according to the present invention, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0033] It should be emphasized that the term "include / comprises" when used herein refers to the existence of features, elements, steps or components, but does not exclude the existence or addition of one or more other features, elements, steps or components.

[0034] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the term "connection" herein may refer not only to a direct connection but also to an indirect connection involving an intermediate.

[0035] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar components, or the same or similar steps.

[0036] In the prior art, elastic gloves are typically slightly smaller than the hand size to ensure a snug fit and facilitate precision procedures such as surgery. However, existing glove donning devices can easily cause the gloves to fold or wrinkle after placement, hindering their unfolding. Furthermore, the gloves only unfold under negative pressure, without expanding overall. When a hand is inserted into the glove, friction is generated against the inner wall, hindering the donning process.

[0037] In order to solve the technical problem of insufficient expansion of gloves in the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides an elastic glove smart wearable device, which can fully expand and inflate the gloves before the user wears them, allowing the user to smoothly insert their hands into the gloves.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides an elastic glove smart wearable device, comprising two separately arranged hand molds, a negative pressure pumping mechanism 500, a glove acquisition module, and a hand mold combination module; the sizes of the two hand molds are both larger than the sizes of human hands and elastic gloves, and the two hand molds can provide a placement space for the gloves in an expanded state. The negative pressure pumping mechanism can be provided with two groups connected to the two hand molds respectively, or the negative pressure pumping mechanism can be provided with two groups of pipelines connected to the two hand molds respectively. The negative pressure pumping mechanism controller can be integrated into the negative pressure pumping mechanism or provided independently, and the negative pressure pumping mechanism controller can control the opening and closing of the two groups of negative pressure pumping mechanisms or control the on-off of the two groups of pipelines. The glove acquisition module is used to fit the glove to the half-hand-shaped cavity of any hand mold. The hand mold combination module can make the two hand molds fit each other and fix them relatively.

[0039] Each hand mold has a half-hand-shaped cavity on one side. The surface of the half-hand-shaped cavity has multiple air holes, corresponding to at least the wrist, palm, and five fingers of the half-hand-shaped cavity. The half-hand-shaped cavity is connected to the negative pressure pumping mechanism 500 through its air holes. The contour of the half-hand-shaped cavity is roughly the same as the outer contour of the upper half or lower half of a human hand. When the two half-hand-shaped cavities are spliced together, a complete hand-shaped cavity is formed, which has the same outer contour as the entire human hand. It should be noted that the size of the complete hand-shaped cavity is slightly larger than the size of the human hand, making it easier for the human hand to enter the complete hand-shaped cavity. In addition, when the glove is fully fitted into the complete hand-shaped cavity, the glove is in an inflated state and fully expanded. After the human hand is fully inserted into the inflated glove, a certain gap exists between the inner wall of the glove and the human hand. This configuration reduces the contact area between the hand and the glove during insertion, thereby reducing friction and facilitating a smooth entry of the user's hand into the glove.

[0040] The hand model flipping mechanism 300 is connected to at least one of the two hand models. The hand model drive mechanism controller is in communication with the hand model flipping mechanism 300, and the negative pressure mechanism controller is in communication with the negative pressure mechanism. The hand model flipping mechanism 300 can switch the two hand models between a separated state and a joined state. The hand model drive mechanism controller controls the operation of the hand model drive mechanism through commands, and the negative pressure mechanism controller controls the operation of the negative pressure mechanism through commands.

[0041] The glove acquisition module is used to control any hand model to move to a specific position where the target glove is placed, or to control the glove conveying mechanism to acquire, convey, and place the target glove in parallel on the hand-shaped cavity of any hand model, so that the corresponding parts of the target glove correspond to the wrist, palm, and five fingers of the half-hand-shaped cavity; it is also used to control the negative pressure pumping mechanism 500 to apply negative pressure to the hand model to absorb one side of the target glove; the glove acquisition module can ultimately make one side of the glove fit tightly into the half-hand-shaped cavity of the hand model, so that the wrist, palm, and five fingers of the glove fit into the wrist, palm, and five fingers of the hand-shaped cavity.

[0042] After one side of the target glove is attached to a hand mold, the hand mold combining module controls the combination of the two hand molds to form a complete hand-shaped cavity 230. The negative pressure pumping mechanism 500 also applies negative pressure to the other hand mold to absorb the other side of the target glove, so that the target glove adheres tightly to the wrist, palm, and five fingers of the complete hand-shaped cavity 230. The negative pressure pumping mechanism 500 controls the air holes on the other half of the hand-shaped cavity to apply negative pressure, so that the other side of the glove is attached to the surface of the half hand-shaped cavity. Due to the negative pressure, the air holes can extract the air between the glove and the inner wall of the cavity, eliminating bubbles between the glove and the inner wall of the cavity, and making the entire glove fully expanded and expanded, making it easier for the user's hand to be inserted.

[0043] In existing automatic donning devices, gloves typically enter in the direction of the glove's fingers. These devices have only one glove entry port, located at the wrist. This can easily cause the glove's fingers to fold, twist, or wrinkle as it enters the cavity, disrupting the glove's deployment and ultimately affecting the user's wearing experience. The glove in this embodiment enters through the top of the semi-hand-shaped cavity, avoiding the folding, twisting, or wrinkling that can easily occur when loading the glove into the hand mold, effectively ensuring the glove's full deployment and expansion.

[0044] The two hand molds separately arranged in the elastic glove intelligent wearable device in the above embodiment facilitate the placement of the glove into the semi-hand-shaped cavity when separated, thereby preventing the finger parts of the glove from being easily folded, twisted or wrinkled; when the two hand molds are combined, the glove is placed in the complete hand-shaped cavity, and the negative pressure pumping mechanism can pump negative pressure into the complete hand-shaped cavity through the air holes, so that the glove fits tightly against the inner wall of the cavity, plays the role of fully unfolding the glove, and provides strong protection for the user's hand to be inserted; the device reduces the chance of manual contact with the gloves, helps to reduce the risk of cross infection, and is particularly suitable for industries requiring high hygiene standards such as medical care and food processing, realizes efficient, accurate and automated wearing of gloves, and at the same time improves the tightness, comfort and hygiene of wearing.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, the two separately arranged hand molds include a first hand mold 210 and a second hand mold 220, the first hand mold 210 has a first half-hand-shaped cavity, and the second hand mold 220 has a second half-hand-shaped cavity; the surface of the first half-hand-shaped cavity has a plurality of first air holes, and the surface of the second half-hand-shaped cavity has a plurality of second air holes, and the first air holes and the second air holes are both connected to the negative pressure extraction mechanism 500; when the first hand mold 210 and the second hand mold 220 are in a combined state, the first half-hand-shaped cavity and the second half-hand-shaped cavity form a complete hand-shaped cavity, and the complete hand-shaped cavity has a hand insertion entrance 240; the inner walls of the first half-hand-shaped cavity and the second half-hand-shaped cavity are both provided with an antibacterial coating. The first half hand-shaped cavity and the second half hand-shaped cavity both include a five-finger portion, a palm portion, and a wrist portion; the first half hand-shaped cavity and the second half hand-shaped cavity roughly split the shape of the hand portions in half, so that the first half hand-shaped cavity and the second half hand-shaped cavity can both contact the five-finger portion, the palm portion, and the wrist portion of the glove, thereby improving the uniformity of the adsorption force of the first pores and the second pores, and preventing the occurrence of glove position deviation due to uneven suction during the adsorption process.

[0046] The hand insertion opening 240 of the complete hand-shaped cavity 230 is designed so that the hand can be easily inserted. At the same time, the first air holes and the second air holes on the surfaces of the first half hand-shaped cavity and the second half hand-shaped cavity are connected to the negative pressure extraction mechanism 500. Through the action of negative pressure, the glove can fit tightly on the hand mold, making it easier for the user to insert the hand.

[0047] The inner walls of the first half-hand-shaped cavity and the second half-hand-shaped cavity are both provided with antibacterial coatings, which can effectively kill bacteria on the gloves, disinfect the gloves, and prevent cross infection.

[0048] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first hand mold 210 and the second hand mold 220 are the core areas for users (such as medical staff) to complete the donning of gloves. Their function is to provide a safe, stable and sterile space for the unfolding and final donning of the gloves. Through precise structural design and supporting auxiliary means, the complete hand-shaped cavity inside can ensure that the gloves will not slip, deflect or wrinkle when worn, and effectively isolate external contamination, thereby achieving truly aseptic operation. In addition, the built-in sensors in the complete hand-shaped cavity can also detect hand position, glove fit and cavity cleanliness, helping the system to automatically trigger the disinfection process when necessary to ensure that the entire device is in the best hygienic state.

[0049] At the design level, the complete hand-shaped cavity is precisely modeled based on the anatomical structure of the human hand to accurately fit different types of gloves. The inner wall of the cavity is generally made of smooth and antibacterial medical silicone or special antibacterial coated metal materials. These materials can not only prevent scratches and friction on the gloves or hands during wearing, but also effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria. The entire cavity module composed of the first hand mold 210 and the second hand mold 220 supports quick disassembly and high-temperature sterilization. When deep cleaning or maintenance is required, medical staff only need to operate the modular quick-release structure to quickly replace the cavity components without the need for extensive disassembly of the entire machine. In addition, combined with ultraviolet light and spray disinfection mechanisms, the cavity can be efficiently sterilized before and after the gloves are distributed and worn. This creates a sterile "channel" to maximize the cleanliness and safety of the entire glove wearing process.

[0050] In some embodiments, the glove acquisition module includes a first glove acquisition module, which includes a first hand model moving mechanism for moving any hand model to a specific position. The first hand model moving mechanism can be a robotic arm that can grasp the hand model and move the hand model. In this embodiment, the initial position of the two hand models is: the first hand model is directly above the second hand model, and the contact surface of the two hands is parallel to the horizontal plane. After the robotic arm grasps the first hand model, it moves the first hand model above the glove. After the glove is absorbed, the robotic arm moves the first hand model back to its initial position. When the hand model is in the specific position, the side of the hand model with the semi-hand-shaped cavity faces the target glove. In this embodiment, the gloves can be stacked on a horizontal surface to facilitate the absorption of the first hand model. The specific position can include a storage position or a transfer position. The storage position refers to the location where multiple stacked gloves are stored. The transfer position refers to the location where a transfer mechanism carries a certain number of gloves and places them in a position convenient for the absorption of the first hand model. It should be noted that the gloves can be placed in a glove box, the opening of the glove box can face upward or form a certain angle with the horizontal plane, and accordingly the first hand mold faces downward or forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane and faces the opening direction of the glove box.

[0051] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In another specific embodiment, the first glove acquisition module includes an X-axis linear motion assembly 401, which is connected to the first hand model 210 via a pneumatic cylinder. The X-axis linear motion assembly 401 can move the first hand model 210 laterally, moving the first hand model 210 closer to or further away from the glove via the pneumatic cylinder. Three sizes of gloves, large, medium, and small, can be selected based on the size of the user's hand and placed in storage compartments 102. The three storage compartments are arranged sequentially along the movement direction of the X-axis linear motion assembly 401. The X-axis linear motion assembly 401 moves the first hand model 210 to the storage compartments 102, where it absorbs the glove through negative pressure. The X-axis linear motion assembly 401 and the pneumatic cylinder then reposition the first hand model 210, allowing the first and second hand models 210 and 220 to cover the glove. Under the influence of gravity, the glove's wrist naturally opens. The motor drives the L-shaped connecting rod to rotate, allowing the airbag 600 to enter the glove's wrist. The airbag 600 is inflated by the inflation and deflation mechanism. Under the pressure of the airbag 600, the glove's wrist adheres to the inner wall of the complete hand-shaped cavity 230, facilitating the air pores' adhesion to the glove. After the air pores have fully adhered to the glove, the motor drives the L-shaped connecting rod to move the airbag 600 away, exposing the glove's wrist and facilitating the user's hand's insertion.

[0052] Reference Figure 11This diagram illustrates an electrical system that includes power supply, control, and drive functions. F1 is a circuit breaker, used to disconnect and connect the system power supply and provide short-circuit and overload protection. V1 is a power adapter, used to convert the AC220V mains voltage to the DC24V required by the system. U1 is the main controller, responsible for logic calculations, controlling the actions of actuators, and monitoring their results. U2 is a motor driver, used to precisely drive motor M1 (located in the X-axis linear motion assembly 401) to a specified position. Y1-Y6 are solenoid valves used to control the generation of negative pressure for glove suction, control the extension and retraction of the cylinder, and control the movement of the airbag. SNS1-SNS9 are sensors used to detect various system states. SNS1-SNS3 detect whether the material box (storage compartment 102) is out of material; SNS4-SNS5 detect the current positive and negative air pressure; SNS6 detects whether material removal (glove extraction) is successful; and SNS7-SNS8 detect the current position of the first glove acquisition module. M2 and M2 are both air pressure pumps used to generate positive and negative air pressure.

[0053] In some embodiments, reference Figure 8 The glove obtaining module includes a second glove obtaining module, and the second glove obtaining module includes a glove conveying mechanism and a hand mold turning mechanism 300 ; the glove conveying mechanism can be set in the glove supply mechanism 100 .

[0054] The glove conveying mechanism includes a track mechanism 103, on which the target glove is stored. The track mechanism 103 is used to convey the target glove to the semi-hand-shaped cavity of any hand model so that the target glove can fall onto the surface of the semi-hand-shaped cavity. Specifically, a plurality of gloves can be arranged in sequence on the track mechanism 103. As the track moves, the gloves on the track will fall onto the hand model.

[0055] The hand mold flipping mechanism 300 includes a flipping motor. Its output shaft is connected to one end of the hand mold cavity. The flipping motor's axis is coaxial with the edge of the hand mold's hand mold cavity. The flipping motor is used to flip the hand mold 180° so that it can be fastened to another hand mold. A servo motor can be used as the flipping motor, which offers exceptional precision. When a glove is dropped onto one hand mold, the flipping motor rotates, driving the other hand mold 180° around its axis of rotation, allowing the two hand molds to join. The joint is sealed to prevent air leakage.

[0056] In some embodiments, the elastic glove smart wearable device further includes an airbag 600, an inflation / deflation mechanism, and a second hand model movement mechanism 400. This embodiment can expand the glove's wrist. The airbag 600 is connected to the inflation / deflation mechanism. After the two hand models are joined and before the negative pressure application mechanism 500 applies negative pressure to the other hand model, the second hand model movement mechanism 400 is used to synchronously move the two hand models to the airbag 600, so that the wrist of the target glove covers the airbag 600. The two hand models can be rotated by a manipulator or the hand model flipping mechanism 300, so that the hand model with the attached glove is positioned above the hand model with the unattached glove. Under the action of gravity, the glove wrist will expand, facilitating the entry of the airbag 600. After the two hand models are joined, a complete hand-shaped cavity is formed within the cavity. The joint surface of the complete hand-shaped cavity is sealed. When the glove wrist is expanded, the distance between the bottom of the glove and the air pores below is shortened, facilitating the air pores' adhesion to the glove.

[0057] It should be noted that a visual recognition camera can be provided to detect whether the glove wrists are open. If the visual recognition camera detects that the glove wrists are open, a feedback signal can be sent to the processor, which controls the second hand model movement mechanism 400 to move the two hand models synchronously to the airbag 600 or controls the airbag 600 to move to the glove wrists. Alternatively, a distance sensor can be used to detect the distance between the glove wrists to monitor whether the glove wrists are open.

[0058] When the airbag 600 is covered by the wrist of the target glove, the inflation and deflation mechanism is used to inflate the airbag 600 so that the wrist of the target glove fits on the surface of the hand-shaped cavity of another hand model; when the hand insertion opening 240 covers the airbag 600, the inflation and deflation mechanism is used to inflate the airbag 600 so that the airbag 600 expands so that the wrist of the glove is pressed against the inner wall of the complete hand-shaped cavity 230; so that the complete hand-shaped cavity 230 is in a closed state, which is conducive to the rapid completion of negative pressure extraction in the next step.

[0059] When the other side of the target glove is attached to the surface of the hand cavity of the other hand model, the inflation and deflation mechanism is used to deflate the airbag 600, and the second hand model moving mechanism 400 is used to drive the two hand models to move synchronously away from the airbag 600, so that the wrist of the glove is exposed, making it easier for the user's hand to enter.

[0060] The airbag 600 in the above embodiment utilizes a medical-grade airbag, primarily used to inflate and expand the glove's wrist, ensuring the glove perfectly fits the hand's contours. In clinical use, medical personnel require quick and convenient donning of gloves. Airbag 600 instantly expands and secures the glove's wrist, eliminating the need for manual adjustments or repeated donning. Furthermore, airbag 600 automatically deflates after the operation, allowing ample preparation time for the next operation, significantly improving the device's overall operational efficiency.

[0061] The airbag is made of highly elastic, durable medical-grade rubber material, capable of maintaining excellent toughness and sealing during multiple inflation and deflation cycles. Its built-in pressure sensor monitors the internal airbag pressure at all times, promptly stopping inflation or automatically deflating when the set threshold is reached, ensuring that overinflation does not damage the gloves or threaten the safety of medical personnel. To further enhance protective performance, the airbag's outer layer is coated with a special coating (such as polytetrafluoroethylene) to prevent corrosion by disinfectants, blood, or other chemical solutions in medical environments, ensuring a longer and safer service life.

[0062] The inflation and deflation of the airbag is controlled by a precision solenoid valve or micro-air pump. Once the system detects the glove is correctly positioned, it initiates the inflation process, expanding the glove wrist to the proper size. Once the glove is donned and quality verified, the system gradually deflates the airbag and returns it to its initial position, ready for the next doctor or procedure. This smooth and controllable process effectively avoids glove failure or damage caused by over- or under-expansion.

[0063] In some embodiments, the negative pressure extraction mechanism 500 includes one vacuum pump or two vacuum pumps.

[0064] When the negative pressure extraction mechanism 500 includes a vacuum pump, the negative pressure extraction mechanism 500 also includes at least two groups of flexible vacuum control pipelines, one end of the two groups of flexible vacuum control pipelines are respectively connected to the two hand models, and the other ends of the two groups of flexible vacuum control pipelines are both connected to the vacuum pump.

[0065] In the case where the negative pressure extraction mechanism 500 includes two vacuum pumps, the negative pressure extraction mechanism 500 also includes two groups of flexible vacuum control pipelines, one end of the two groups of flexible vacuum control pipelines are respectively connected to the two hand models, and the other ends of the two groups of flexible vacuum control pipelines are respectively connected to the two vacuum pumps, or a vacuum pump is installed on each hand model. The negative pressure extraction mechanism 500 can optionally use a micro vacuum pump to facilitate the synchronous movement of the negative pressure extraction mechanism 500 and the hand model.

[0066] The negative pressure mechanism 500 generates suction in the first pores in the upper half of the complete hand-shaped cavity, allowing it to absorb the glove. When the first hand mold 210 and the second hand mold 220 are separated, the negative pressure mechanism 500 generates suction, causing the first hand mold 210 to absorb the glove. The first hand mold 210 and the glove then flip over and combine with the second hand mold 220, completing the glove absorption process. By creating a negative pressure environment within the complete hand-shaped cavity, the negative pressure mechanism 500 ensures a tight fit between the glove and the cavity's inner walls, preventing bubbles or wrinkles from forming during unfolding. This significantly improves comfort and accuracy for medical personnel during actual donning. The establishment of a negative pressure environment also makes the entire glove unfolding process more controllable, laying a good foundation for subsequent donning.

[0067] The negative pressure pumping mechanism 500 can consist of a high-performance vacuum pump and its associated piping and valves. The vacuum pump must generate the required negative pressure in a very short time, so a pump with appropriate power and high durability is typically used. A fast-response valve and pressure sensor are installed in the piping connecting to the complete hand-shaped cavity. When the pressure sensor detects that the negative pressure reaches a predetermined value, the system automatically adjusts the valve opening to maintain a stable negative pressure, ensuring that the glove maintains a tight and smooth shape throughout the entire unfolding and fitting process.

[0068] To prevent excessive negative pressure from unexpected events or pump failure, the system incorporates an automatic pressure relief device. When the device detects persistently low or abnormally low negative pressure, it immediately triggers a pressure relief mechanism, rapidly restoring internal pressure to a safe range to protect the hand cavity structure and the glove itself. This safety feature also protects medical personnel, preventing unnecessary risks or operator error caused by sudden changes in negative pressure.

[0069] In some embodiments, the joining surfaces of the two hand molds are flat, facilitating quick matching and alignment of the two hand molds. A sealing ring, such as a rubber ring, is provided at the joining surfaces of the two hand molds. When the two hand molds are pressed against each other, the sealing ring provides a seal to prevent air leakage. A protrusion is provided on the joining surface of one hand mold, while a groove is provided on the joining surface of the other hand mold. The protrusion and groove facilitate the snap-fit connection of the two hand molds, prevent misalignment, and further improve the sealing performance of the hand molds.

[0070] In some embodiments, the elastic glove smart wearable device further includes an automatic control module, which includes a device startup control unit, a hand position detection unit, and a processor. The device startup control unit controls the startup of the elastic glove smart wearable device based on user-specific behaviors detected by the device. User-specific behaviors include any of the following: sound wave information emitted by the user, voice control commands, gestures, and user position information automatically detected by the device. Specifically, user-specific behaviors may include the user walking in front of the device and saying "put on gloves", the user standing in front of the device with both hands extended forward, or the user standing in front of the device and blocking a specific part of the device with their body.

[0071] The processor is used to control the elastic glove smart wearable device to expand the target glove after receiving a specific user behavior signal; the hand position detection unit is used to detect whether the user's hand is fully in place; the hand position detection unit includes any one of an infrared sensor, a temperature sensor, a limit switch, a pulse sensor, an image recognition module, and a microwave radar detection subunit. For example, the infrared sensor can be set at the fingertips of the hand-shaped cavity. After each fingertip detects the user's finger, it is determined that the hand is fully in place. After the processor detects that the user's hand is fully in place based on the hand position detection unit, it is used to control the negative pressure pumping mechanism 500 to stop pumping negative pressure or reduce the negative pressure, so that the target glove is worn on the user's hand under the action of its own elastic force. This configuration can realize automatic control of the entire process of the user wearing the glove.

[0072] In other embodiments, the elastic glove smart wearable device further includes an operating element; the operating element may include any one of a foot pedal, a touch screen, and a manual key. The operating element is used to control the elastic glove smart wearable device to select a glove model, start, pause, confirm hand placement, and remove a pressure differential. For example, a foot pedal or joystick may be provided at the bottom of the device to select and confirm functions. Since it is inconvenient for the user to put on the glove using their hands, the provision of a foot pedal allows the user to complete the entire glove donning process using their foot, which is very convenient. Furthermore, the use of a mechanical control structure significantly improves the reliability of the device.

[0073] Existing research primarily focuses on the distribution and automated operation of medical consumables. However, most equipment is limited to a single function and lacks intelligent, comprehensive solutions tailored to a variety of glove types and materials. This makes it difficult to integrate glove-donning and disinfection functions. Furthermore, balancing sterility assurance, consumables management, and operational efficiency within equipment operation remains a technical challenge for the industry.

[0074] In some embodiments, the elastic glove smart wearable device also includes a user identification module, a data storage module and multiple track mechanisms 103. This embodiment can provide personalized glove wearing services for different users. Each user has different hand sizes. The user's hand size information can be collected first, and the hand size information can be sorted and grouped. Each group can be equipped with gloves of different specifications to improve the user's wearing experience.

[0075] The data storage module is used to store different user hand sizes, their corresponding glove sizes, and biometric information. Multiple track mechanisms 103 are used to hold gloves of different sizes. For example, gloves can be categorized as large, medium, and small, and placed on three sets of track mechanisms 103, respectively.

[0076] The user identification module is used to obtain the current biometric information of the current user and send it to the processor. Biometric information includes any of voiceprint information, fingerprint information, facial information, and iris information. For example, a voiceprint recognition module 701 can be installed in the device. Voiceprint recognition module 701 can effectively distinguish users based on their unique voice characteristics, thereby accurately identifying users and providing a strong guarantee for different users to be equipped with gloves that adapt to their hand sizes.

[0077] The processor is also used to compare the current biometric information with the biometric information in the data storage module to obtain the current glove specifications corresponding to the current biometric information; the processor is also used to control the corresponding track mechanism 103 based on the current glove specifications to transport the target glove to the hand cavity of the hand model.

[0078] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Multiple storage compartments 102 are provided, each for storing gloves of different specifications. The elastic glove smart wearable device also includes a second hand model moving mechanism 400 and a voiceprint recognition module 701. The second hand model moving mechanism 400 can drive the two hand models to move synchronously. The voiceprint recognition module 701 is used to identify the voices of different users and control the second hand model moving mechanism 400 to move the first hand model 210 and the second hand model 220 to the storage compartment 102 corresponding to the current user. Because users may wear masks and hats, this embodiment uses voiceprint recognition technology to identify users, which is more convenient and accurate than facial recognition. The device pre-loads the voiceprint information of the relevant user and the corresponding glove model. The user only needs to speak any sentence to recognize the voiceprint. The user activates the device through voice, and the system matches the user information and distributes the appropriate gloves. The built-in system can record the frequency of glove use and consumption, providing support for managing the number of gloves.

[0079] The second hand model moving mechanism 400 can accurately control the synchronous movement of the first hand model 210 and the second hand model 220, ensuring that they can accurately reach the glove supply mechanism 100, the airbag 600, and the movable door panel 707. The second hand model moving mechanism 400 can drive the first hand model 210 and the second hand model 220 to complete the movement processes such as glove acquisition and stretching, thereby improving the degree of automation and thereby improving the efficiency of glove wearing.

[0080] Reference Figure 3 The second hand model moving mechanism 400 includes an X-axis linear moving component 401, a Y-axis linear moving component 402 and a cylinder 403; both the X-axis linear moving component 401 and the Y-axis linear moving component 402 can use linear moving modules, and the cylinder 403 is vertically arranged, the bottom of the cylinder 403 is fixedly connected to the X-axis linear moving component 401, and the top of the cylinder 403 is connected to the hand model.

[0081] In some embodiments, the elastic glove smart wearable device further includes an ultraviolet disinfection mechanism and a spray disinfection mechanism 704 for disinfecting the hand model, the glove acquisition module and the gloves; the ultraviolet disinfection mechanism may use an ultraviolet lamp, which may be set inside the box 702 to disinfect by irradiation. The spray disinfection mechanism 704 may use a combination of a spray head, a water pump and a disinfection water tank, and the spray head may be set on the top of the box 702 to disinfect with a disinfectant. A disinfection start button may be provided on the outside of the box 702, and the user manually presses the disinfection start button to enter the disinfection program: the ultraviolet lamp 703 is turned on for 40 minutes, and the built-in medical disinfectant is atomized and sprayed by the spray disinfection mechanism 704, and the spraying range includes all the above-mentioned mechanisms and components in the box.

[0082] It should be noted that the disinfection module is designed to provide comprehensive sterility protection for the gloves and the complete hand cavity, and is a key link in achieving a high degree of sterility for the entire device. Through the combined use of multiple disinfection methods (such as ultraviolet irradiation and spray disinfection), the module can effectively kill bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens that may be present in the cavity or on the surface of the gloves, providing safer and more reliable protection for medical staff during the glove wearing process.

[0083] Multiple components, including ultraviolet lamps, spray disinfection pipes, and atomizing nozzles, are arranged inside or around the hand-shaped cavity. The ultraviolet lamps primarily act on the inside of the cavity and on the surface of the gloves, quickly destroying the DNA structure of microorganisms. The spray disinfection part utilizes an atomizing nozzle to evenly distribute the disinfectant in the form of fine particles in the cavity and on the surface of the gloves, further eliminating the risk of residual contamination. To prevent chemical disinfectants from adversely affecting the glove material or other equipment components, the spray equipment can use medical-grade disinfectants that are highly adaptable and safe for the human body, and precisely control the disinfection time, dosage, and range through sensors and system control. In addition, the module housing can be made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel or special plastic materials that can withstand extreme disinfection environments such as high temperature and humidity, and prevent internal key components from being corroded or damaged.

[0084] The elastic glove smart wearable device also includes a housing 702, within which a hand model, a negative pressure pumping mechanism 500, a glove acquisition module, and a hand model combination module are all disposed. The front of the housing 702 has a reversible movable door panel 707 for inserting the user's hand into the housing 702. A display screen is provided on the outside of the housing 702. The elastic glove smart wearable device also includes a glove supply mechanism 100, which includes a cabinet 101 having a storage compartment 102 extending from front to back, and a track mechanism 103 disposed within the storage compartment 102. It should be noted that the glove supply mechanism 100 plays a key role in the glove supply source of the entire device. Its primary function is to store sterile gloves of various models and materials in an orderly and classified manner and to distribute them according to the actual needs of doctors or caregivers. By precisely managing and controlling different types of gloves, the glove supply mechanism 100 can effectively reduce shortages or excess preparation of gloves during clinical peak periods, and utilize built-in sensing or digital detection methods to achieve real-time monitoring of glove reserves, promptly reminding users to replenish consumables, and ensuring the continuity and high efficiency of clinical operations.

[0085] In terms of design, the glove supply mechanism 100 features internal compartmentalized storage, categorizing medical gloves into units or grids based on size, material, and specifications, ensuring that gloves of the same type are stored in the same compartment. Furthermore, each compartment 102 is equipped with an independent track mechanism 103. Upon receiving a doctor's request, the track mechanism 103 automatically and precisely pushes the required glove to the top of the hand-shaped cavity. The hand-shaped cavity is then moved to the bottom of the corresponding compartment 102 via the second hand-shaped movement mechanism 400. To achieve even greater automation, the glove supply mechanism 100 is equipped with various sensors (such as pressure sensors) to monitor glove inventory and equipment operation in real time. By connecting to the system control center, the glove supply mechanism 100 can record glove usage frequency, batch information, and consumption rate, providing data support for the hospital's inventory management.

[0086] The elastic glove smart wearable device also includes a glove, and the wrist of the glove has an elastic reinforcement part. The elastic reinforcement part can be achieved by thinning the thickness of the glove wrist or using a material with excellent elastic properties. Such a setting can make the wrist of the glove deform more under the action of negative pressure, so that the wrist of the glove fits better with the edge of the hand-shaped cavity, preventing air leakage.

[0087] The outer surface of the airbag 600 is provided with a smooth layer, specifically a Teflon coating. This smooth layer can reduce friction on the surface of the airbag 600, making it easier for the airbag 600 to enter and exit the glove wrist, and helping the airbag 600 to expand the glove. A pressure sensor is provided inside the airbag 600 to monitor the pressure inside the airbag 600.

[0088] The inner walls of the semi-hand-shaped cavity are coated with an antibacterial coating, which effectively kills germs on the gloves, disinfecting them and preventing cross-infection. The enclosure 702 seals the various mechanisms of the device, preventing dust and contamination. Seals are installed at the seams of enclosure 702. A handle 705 is located on the top of enclosure 702 for easy transport. Feet 706 are located on the bottom of enclosure 702. An observation window 708 is located on the front of enclosure 702 for easy observation of the operating status of the enclosure's mechanisms.

[0089] The elastic glove smart wearable device of this embodiment integrates multiple functional modules such as glove supply, hand model drive, XYZ axis linear movement, negative pressure extraction, and airbag inflation and deflation to achieve efficient, accurate, and automated wearing of gloves, while improving the tightness, comfort, and hygiene of wearing.

[0090] In some embodiments, the elastic glove smart wearable device is also equipped with a central control module. This module is the control center of all components, including the core control units of each part, responsible for coordinating the work of each module. Specifically, it monitors the operating status of the device in real time and conducts signals between each step in an orderly manner. This ensures that the device operates according to standardized procedures while monitoring possible accidents and correcting them in a timely manner to ensure the overall safety of the device. By using voiceprint recognition as the starting signal, the central control module intelligently assists doctors in completing the process of donning gloves.

[0091] Specifically, the voiceprint recognition module supports doctor identity authentication and operation authorization.

[0092] Display and touch interface: displays device status in real time and supports parameter adjustment.

[0098] 5. Input: Infrared sensor detects human entry; Output: Destroy the negative pressure environment and put on gloves.

[0099] 6. Input: The disinfection button transmits a signal requiring disinfection; Output: Medical disinfectant is sprayed and the ultraviolet light is turned on.

[0119] Sensor housing: PC (polycarbonate). High strength, good transparency, easy to maintain.

[0120] The detailed workflow of the elastic glove smart wearable device in the above embodiment is as follows: the device pre-enters the relevant user's voiceprint information and the corresponding glove model. The user only needs to speak any sentence to identify the voiceprint (facial recognition may be inaccurate due to masks and hats, so voiceprint recognition is used). After identification, the system pairs the corresponding glove models. The first hand model 210 and the second hand model 220 are moved to the bottom of the corresponding glove storage compartment 102 using the second hand model moving mechanism 400. The first hand model 210 is flipped over, and the first air holes evenly distributed in the inner layer are pumped with air under the action of a vacuum pump to generate appropriate suction to absorb the glove. The first hand model 210 then flips over and combines with the second hand model 220, and the air extraction stops.

[0121] In another embodiment, the first side of the first hand mold 210 faces downward, and the first hand mold moving mechanism drives the first hand mold 210 to move above the storage compartment 102. Under the action of the first air hole to suck the glove, the first hand mold 210 moves above the second hand mold 220 and fits therewith, completing the glove collection. A rubber sealing ring is provided at the junction of the first hand mold 210 and the second hand mold 220 to ensure a tight connection between the first hand mold 210 and the second hand mold 220 and prevent air leakage when negative pressure is applied.

[0122] After the glove falls into the first hand mold 210 and the second hand mold 220, gravity causes the glove opening to open slightly, facilitating subsequent airbag entry. After the pressure sensor in the lower half of the second hand mold 220 detects the glove's entry, the second hand mold movement mechanism 400 moves the first and second hand molds 210 and 220 until the hand insertion opening 240 encloses the airbag 600. This step is facilitated because gravity causes the glove opening to open slightly while the glove is suspended in the air under the suction of the first hand mold 210. Once the airbag has reached the desired position, it begins to inflate, filling with a preset volume of gas until the glove wrist is substantially flush against the inner wall of the cavity. The diameter of the cavity wall at the wrist is fixed and wide enough for a human hand to easily fit.

[0123] At this point, the evenly distributed suction holes within the first and second hand molds 210 and 220 are evacuated by an external vacuum pump. The resulting suction forces the glove wrist to tightly adhere to the inner wall of the complete hand-shaped cavity 230, achieving a seal. This step is achieved because the wrist and inner wall are already substantially in contact in the previous step, allowing for a seal to be achieved with minimal suction. Simultaneously, suction from the first and second air holes removes air from the gap between the cavity and the glove, creating a negative pressure. While the interior of the glove remains at atmospheric pressure, the pressure differential causes the glove to expand. The suction volume and suction force are calculated and preset. After the preset amount of air is removed, the glove expands, the airbags deflate, and the second hand mold moving mechanism 400 retracts in the reverse direction according to the original parameters. The glove wrist used in the above embodiment can differ from conventional gloves, employing a thinner or more elastic cuff to maintain a high seal when the cuff is expanded and the negative pressure between the complete hand-shaped cavity 230 and the glove is maintained.

[0124] The first and second hand molds 210 and 220 are moved to the movable door panel position using the second hand mold moving mechanism 400. The user's hand then enters the stretched glove through the movable door panel. After the hand is detected by infrared light within the cavity (using the hand's temperature, covering the entire hand, such as the fingertips, before proceeding to the next step, ensuring that the user has properly positioned their hand within the glove), the negative pressure environment is broken. The gap between the cavity and the glove is now at equal pressure, the glove retracts, and the user puts on the glove.

[0125] As another embodiment, a foot pedal button is provided under the device for operations such as selecting the glove model, starting, pausing, confirming that the hand is in place, and removing the pressure difference. The device is controlled by the user's foot, which greatly improves the reliability of the device.

[0126] The relevant physical formulas and parameters in the elastic glove smart wearable device in the above implementation are described as follows.

[0127] 1. Gas flow in the complete hand-shaped cavity.

[0128] In a complete hand-shaped cavity, negative pressure is mainly generated by pumping air, forming a pressure difference. The ideal gas state equation is used to describe the gas flow process:

[0129] PV=nRT

[0130] in:

[0131] P is the pressure of the gas;

[0132] V is the volume of the gas;

[0133] n is the number of moles of gas;

[0134] R is the ideal gas constant;

[0135] T is the temperature of the gas.

[0136] In a complete hand-shaped cavity, the air is pumped out and the gas volume remains unchanged, so the relationship between pressure and volume change can be derived. When the amount of air pumped is fixed, the pressure change can be expressed by the following formula:

[0137] P final =P initial *V initial / V final

[0138] By controlling the vacuum pump's pumping rate, the pressure difference can be precisely adjusted to control the expansion state of the glove in the complete hand-shaped cavity.

[0139] 2. Changes in pressure and volume during airbag inflation.

[0140] The airbag is inflated using a micro air pump and a solenoid valve. Assuming that the airbag inflation follows the ideal gas law, the relationship between pressure and volume when the gas is filled into the airbag can be expressed as:

[0141] P gas V gas =n gas RT

[0142] As gas enters the airbag, the change in volume causes a change in gas pressure. To keep the glove in its expanded state, the airbag must be inflated to ensure that the volume and pressure of the gas are controlled within an appropriate range, so that the glove wrist fits tightly against the inner wall of the cavity.

[0143] Assume the volume of the airbag is V gas , and the volume of the airbag changes during the inflation process, the inflation rate (flow) Q and the volume change of the airbag ΔV gas The relationship between them is:

[0144] Q=ΔV gas / Δt

[0145] Where Δt is the time of the inflation process. By precisely controlling the flow rate Q, the speed and stability of the airbag inflation can be ensured.

[0146] 3. Negative pressure and airbag work together.

[0147] Negative pressure and airbag inflation work together to achieve the expansion and fit of the glove. Assuming the suction force F generated by negative pressure vacuum The pressure F generated by the airbag inflated Working together on the glove, helping it to unfold smoothly and fit into the hand cavity:

[0148] F vacuum =P vacuum A

[0149] F inflated =P inflated A

[0150] Among them, P vacuum and P inflated are the negative pressure and the pressure inside the airbag, respectively, and A is the contact area between the airbag and the cavity. By adjusting the negative pressure and the airbag inflation pressure, the unfolding and fitting process of the glove can be precisely controlled.

[0151] 4. The fit and pressure distribution of the gloves.

[0152] The fit of the glove is closely related to the distribution of applied pressure. To ensure the glove fits the user's hand accurately, the system needs to adjust the pressure to control the seal between the glove and the inner wall of the cavity. The pressure distribution of the glove can be calculated using the following formula:

[0153] P glove =F contact A contact

[0154] Among them, P glove is the local pressure on the glove surface, F contact is the force of contact between the glove and the cavity wall, A contactBy precisely adjusting the pressure applied, you can ensure that the glove fits snugly during donning and avoids wrinkles or slippage.

[0155] 5. Adjustment and optimization of system control.

[0156] Throughout the entire process, the system needs to monitor the data from various sensors in real time to ensure the coordination of various operations. For example, the coordination of airbag inflation and negative pressure requires adjusting the airbag inflation volume and negative pressure intensity based on real-time feedback. Feedback control algorithms (such as PID control) are used to optimize the inflation rate, exhaust rate, etc. in real time:

[0157] u(t)=K p e(t)+K i ∫e(t)dt+K d de(t) / dt

[0158] Where u(t) is the control input (such as airbag inflation rate, negative pressure intensity, etc.), e(t) is the system error, and K p ,K i , and K d These are the proportional, integral, and differential coefficients. By adjusting these parameters, the system can maintain stability and accuracy during the unfolding and donning of the glove.

[0159] Reference Figure 12 Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for intelligently wearing elastic gloves, based on an intelligent wearable elastic glove device, comprising the following steps:

[0160] User identification and device startup steps:

[0161] S1. Based on the user's current biometric information, the processor compares the current biometric information with the biometric information stored in the data storage module to obtain the current glove specifications corresponding to the current biometric information;

[0162] Target Gloves Deployment Steps:

[0163] S2. The processor controls the corresponding track mechanism 103 based on the current glove specifications to transport the target glove to the hand cavity of the hand model;

[0164] S3. When the target glove corresponds to the position of the hand cavity, the glove acquisition module controls the negative pressure pumping mechanism 500 to apply negative pressure to the hand mold to absorb one side of the target glove.

[0165] S4. When one side of the target glove is adsorbed by a hand mold, the hand mold combining module controls the two hand molds to combine to form a complete hand-shaped cavity 230 inside.

[0166] S5. When the two hand models are combined, the second hand model moving mechanism 400 drives the two hand models to move synchronously to the airbag 600 so that the wrist of the target glove covers the airbag 600.

[0167] S6. When the airbag 600 is covered by the wrist of the target glove, the inflation and deflation mechanism inflates the airbag 600 so that the wrist of the target glove fits on the surface of the hand cavity of the other hand model;

[0168] S7. When the wrist of the target glove is attached to the surface of the hand cavity of the other hand model, the negative pressure pumping mechanism 500 applies negative pressure to the other hand model to absorb the other side of the target glove, so that the target glove is tightly attached to the wrist, palm, and five fingers of the complete hand cavity 230.

[0169] Automatic wearing steps:

[0170] S8. When the hand position detection unit detects that the user's hand is completely inserted into the glove, the negative pressure pumping mechanism 500 stops pumping negative pressure or reduces the negative pressure, so that the glove is worn on the user's hand under the action of its own elastic force.

[0171] The elastic glove smart wearable device and method in the above embodiments have significant clinical significance, as detailed below.

[0172] Improved operational efficiency: The elastic glove smart wearable device can quickly and accurately help doctors put on sterile gloves, reducing the time and steps required for manual donning. This is particularly important in emergency surgery or high-intensity treatment scenarios, shortening preparation time and allowing doctors to devote themselves to treatment more quickly.

These devices can be equipped with UV disinfection or other advanced sterilization technologies to ensure that gloves are completely sterile before being worn.

[0174] Reducing the burden on medical staff: During prolonged surgeries or high-intensity nursing work, medical staff may need to frequently change gloves to maintain sterility. Elastic glove smart wearables can alleviate the burden of this repetitive task. By reducing direct contact between medical staff and potential sources of contamination, elastic glove smart wearables can also help reduce occupational exposure risks.

[0175] Improving patient safety: Strict implementation of aseptic techniques is key to preventing hospital-acquired infections. Elastic glove smart wearables indirectly improve patient safety by ensuring the sterility and proper fit of gloves. This improvement is particularly evident in highly sensitive procedures, such as implant surgery and work in sterile operating areas.

[0176] Standardized operating procedures: The elastic glove smart wearable device can perform glove-donning tasks according to preset procedures, thereby standardizing the operating procedures. This helps medical institutions establish and maintain unified operating standards and improve overall medical quality.

[0177] Promoting technological innovation and acceptance: The introduction of smart wearable elastic gloves is an example of driving medical technology innovation, demonstrating how technology can improve healthcare services. The widespread adoption and successful application of such devices is likely to spark interest and investment in medical automation technology among more medical institutions and R&D personnel.

[0178] Adapting to future healthcare trends: With the aging population and the increasing shortage of medical resources, there is an urgent need to improve the efficiency and safety of medical services. As part of smart medical assistance equipment, elastic glove smart wearable devices can help medical institutions adapt to these challenges and improve overall service levels.
