[0070] In this embodiment, the neuromuscular stimulator 1 includes a main unit 11 and a secondary unit 12. The main unit 11 is connected to the secondary unit 12 via a Type-C interface 13 and a main-secondary connection cable 14. A stimulation switch 15 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the main unit 11.

A USB interface 17 is provided on the side of the main unit 11 away from the main-secondary connection cable 14. Two LED lights 18 are provided on the upper surface of the secondary unit 12.
[0071] In this embodiment, there are two LED lights 18, one red and one green. The red light is lit when charging and the green light is lit when fully charged.
[0072] In this embodiment, the remote controller 2 includes: a remote control body 21, a left tri-color LED light 22 and a right tri-color LED light 23.

Five single-color lights 24 are arranged side by side on the upper surface of the remote control body 21 next to the left tri-color LED light 22 and the right tri-color LED light 23. Next to the single-color lights 24 on the upper surface of the remote control body 21, a prescription selection button 25, a stimulation intensity increase button 26, a stimulation intensity decrease button 27 and a remote control switch 28 are arranged in sequence.
[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, the left figure is a schematic diagram of the external appearance of the high-resolution electrode 4, and the right figure is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the high-resolution electrode 4. The high-resolution electrode 4 includes: a mushroom-shaped surface electrode 401, a textile base shell 402, a PI insulated copper electrode 403, a 1-3 piezoelectric material layer 404, and an electrode connecting wire 405. The textile base shell 402 encloses the PI insulated copper electrode 403 and the 1-3 piezoelectric material layer 404. The PI insulated copper electrode 403 is a copper electrode wrapped with a polyimide film, and the upper and lower PI insulated copper electrodes 403 wrap the 1-3 piezoelectric material layer 404.
[0074] In this embodiment, the mushroom-shaped surface electrode 401 measures human muscle and brain electrical signals or outputs muscle electrical stimulation or transcranial electrical stimulation by contacting the skin. The 1-3 piezoelectric material layer 404 can detect heart rate through sensitive vibration detection. The PI insulated copper electrode 403 inputs the signals from the mushroom-shaped surface electrode 401 or the 1-3 piezoelectric material layer 404 to the neuromuscular stimulator 1, or outputs electrical stimulation signals to the human body through the mushroom-shaped surface electrode 401.
[0075] like Figure 5 As shown, a neuromuscular stimulation control system includes: a neuromuscular stimulator module 100, a remote control module 200, a switch module 300, and a high-resolution electrode module 400.
[0076] The neuromuscular stimulator 1 contains a neuromuscular stimulator module 100, which outputs transcranial or muscle stimulation signals based on a received prescription number. The neuromuscular stimulator module 100 includes a main unit 1001, a secondary unit 1002, and a main-secondary connection unit 1003.
[0077] The host unit 1001 is used to extract the stimulation prescription based on the received prescription number and output the stimulation signal. The host unit 1001 includes: a stimulation control unit 10011, a FLASH storage unit 10012, a current detection unit 10013, a tri-color LED light unit 10014, and an alarm unit 10015.
[0078] The stimulation control unit 10011 is used to output stimulation signals to the high-resolution electrode module 400.
[0079] The FLASH storage unit 10012 is used to store stimulation prescriptions. The current detection unit 10013 is used to calculate whether the peak voltage and root mean square value of the output stimulation signal exceed a set threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, a signal is sent to the stimulation control unit to stop the output of the stimulation signal. The three-color LED unit 10014 is used to display the connection status between the neuromuscular stimulator module 100 and the remote control module 200. In this embodiment, the three-color LED unit 10014 can display seven different colors through different on / off combinations: red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, purple, and white. The alarm unit 10015 is used to trigger a cyclic flashing indicator light alarm when the stimulation signal exceeds the threshold.
[0080] The secondary unit 1002 supplies power to the primary unit 1001. The secondary unit 1002 includes a power supply unit 10021, a power management unit 10022, a stimulation Bluetooth unit 10023, and LED light units 10024. The power supply unit 10021 supplies power to the primary unit 1001 via a rechargeable lithium battery. The power management unit 10022 converts the battery voltage of the power supply unit 10021 into the device's operating voltage and outputs it to the primary unit 1001. The stimulation Bluetooth unit 10023 establishes communication with the remote control module 200, receives stimulation signals, and transmits them to the stimulation control unit 10011 via the primary / secondary connection unit 1003. The two LED light units 10024 display the charging status of the power supply unit 10021. The primary / secondary connection unit 1003 connects the primary unit 1001 and the secondary unit 1002 via a Type-C interface and a primary / secondary connection cable 14. The remote controller 2 contains a remote control module 200, which is used to control the neuromuscular stimulator module 100 to output a specified stimulation signal and to display the currently controlled neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channel, output prescription number, and stimulation signal intensity.
[0081] The remote control module 200 includes: a control unit 2001, a channel selection unit 2002, an adjustment unit 2003, a prescription selection unit 2004, a single-color light unit 2005, a left tri-color LED light unit 2006, a right tri-color LED light unit 2007, and a remote control Bluetooth unit 2008.
[0082] Control unit 2001 is used to output control signals. Channel selection unit 2002 is used to select the currently controlled neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channel. Adjustment unit 2003 is used to adjust the intensity of the output stimulation signal. Prescription selection unit 2004 is used to select the stimulation prescription to be output as needed and determine the output prescription number of the current neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channel. Five monochrome light units 2005 arranged in parallel are used to display the intensity of the currently output stimulation signal.
[0083] In the embodiment, the five first monochrome lamp units 2005 arranged side by side have a total of 20 intensity levels, and one lamp will light up every 5 levels.
[0084] The left tri-color LED unit 2006 is used to display the currently controlled neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channels. For example, a red light indicates that the first pair of neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channels is on; a green light indicates that the second pair of neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channels is on; a blue light indicates that the third pair of neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channels is on; a yellow light indicates that the fourth pair of neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channels is on; a cyan light indicates that the fifth pair of neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channels is on; and a purple-green light indicates that the sixth pair of neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channels is on. The first four pairs represent muscle stimulation, and the last two pairs represent transcranial stimulation.
[0085] The right tri-color LED unit 2007 is used to display the current output prescription number of the neuromuscular stimulator module 100 channel. For example, a red light indicates prescription 1 is being output; a green light indicates prescription 2; a blue light indicates prescription 3; a yellow light indicates prescription 4; a cyan light indicates prescription 5; a purple-green light indicates prescription 6; and a white light indicates prescription 7. In this embodiment, both the left tri-color LED unit 2006 and the right tri-color LED unit 2007 can display seven different colors—red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, purple, and white—through different combinations of on / off states.
[0086] The remote control Bluetooth unit 2008 is used to establish communication with the stimulation Bluetooth unit 10023 and output stimulation signals.
[0087] The switch module 300 is used to control the opening and closing of the neuromuscular stimulator module 100 and the remote control module 200, respectively.
[0088] The high-resolution electrode 4 internally contains a high-resolution electrode module 400 for receiving transcranial or muscle stimulation signals, outputting transcranial or muscle stimulation, and adjusting the electrode voltage stimulation resolution. In this embodiment, different combinations of tri-color LEDs and monochromatic LEDs are used to intuitively display information such as the current working status, prescription number, and stimulation intensity, enhancing the user experience.
[0089] like Figure 6 As shown, a neuromuscular stimulation control method includes:
[0090] Step S1: The neuromuscular stimulator 1 and the remote controller 2 are turned on by the stimulation switch 15 and the remote control switch 28 respectively. The remote controller 2 establishes a connection with the neuromuscular stimulator 1 via Bluetooth.
[0091] In step S2, the remote controller 2 outputs a specified stimulation signal to determine the currently controlled neuromuscular stimulator 1 channel, the prescription number output by the channel, and the intensity of the stimulation signal. In this embodiment, the neuromuscular stimulator 1 has both transcranial nerve stimulation and muscle stimulation functions.
[0092] The channel selection unit 2002 determines the currently controlled neuromuscular stimulator 1 channel. Specifically, the prescription selection button 25 and the stimulation intensity increase button 26 work together to determine that the currently controlled function is muscle stimulation. The prescription selection button 25 and the stimulation intensity decrease button 27 work together to determine that the currently controlled function is transcranial stimulation. The left tri-color LED light 22 indicates whether the currently controlled channel is transcranial stimulation or muscle stimulation.
[0093] The prescription selection unit 2004 determines the current output prescription number of the neuromuscular stimulator channel 1, that is, the prescription selection button 25 determines the current output prescription number of the neuromuscular stimulator channel 1, and displays the current output prescription number of the neuromuscular stimulator channel 1 through the right tri-color LED light 23.
[0094] The intensity of the output stimulus signal is determined by the adjustment unit 2003. Specifically, the intensity of the output stimulus signal is increased by the stimulus intensity increase button 26 and decreased by the stimulus intensity decrease button 27. The intensity of the current output stimulus signal is displayed by five monochrome lights 24.
[0095] Step S3: After determining the channel, the stimulation signal and the prescription number output by the channel are sent to the stimulation control unit 10011.
[0096] In step S4, the stimulation control unit 10011 retrieves the stimulation prescription from the FLASH storage unit 10012 using the prescription number and outputs the stimulation signal.
[0097] In this embodiment, the FLASH storage unit 10012 updates the stored stimulation prescriptions via USB interface 17 and a USB cable. In this embodiment, the prescription protocol format of this invention is stored in text form in the FLASH storage unit 10012, and is connected to a computer and server host via USB interface 17 and a USB cable respectively. The prescription can be updated by directly copying the prescription file. For example, muscle stimulation prescription one corresponds to the file name JRCF01.txt, prescription two corresponds to JRCF02.txt, and transcranial stimulation prescription one corresponds to the file name JLCF01.txt, prescription two corresponds to JLCF02.txt. The prescriptions include muscle stimulation prescriptions and transcranial stimulation prescriptions. The muscle stimulation prescription and transcranial stimulation prescription analyze parameters such as the amplitude, frequency, number of waveform repetitions, duration of the square wave, and total number of cycles of the carrier signal and square wave signals of different frequencies to form the core parameters of the prescription. These parameters are stored in a txt format text file, which can be easily copied to the stimulator and read by the embedded program, converted into function input parameters, and used to achieve the output of the set pulse square wave.
[0098] The design of muscle electrical stimulation prescription documents, such as Figure 7 As shown. The characteristics of muscle electrical stimulation prescription one are summarized as follows: The frequency of the electrical stimulation signal changes, and the duration of different frequency electrical stimulation signals changes. The carrier signal is 1–2 kHz, and the pulse interval increases from 20 ms to 200 ms (corresponding to a decrease from 50 Hz to 5 Hz), increasing by 20 ms each time, repeating cyclically. The characteristics of muscle electrical stimulation prescription two are summarized as follows: The amplitude of the electrical stimulation signal changes, and the duration of different amplitude electrical stimulation signals changes. High-intensity stimulation square wave, 1 mA, 50 Hz, lasting 4 s; low-voltage stimulation square wave, 0.5 mA, 50 Hz, lasting 4 s; repeating cyclically.
[0099] Design of transcranial current stimulation prescription documents, such as Figure 8 As shown in Table 1, the characteristics of the three transcranial current stimulation prescriptions are as follows:
[0100] Table 1
[0101]
[0102] In step S5, the current detection unit 10013 determines whether the peak voltage and root mean square value of the output muscle stimulation signal exceed the set threshold.
[0103] In step S6, if the threshold is exceeded, a signal is sent to the stimulation control unit 10011 to stop outputting the stimulation signal and to flash the indicator light in a loop as an alarm. If the threshold is not exceeded, the stimulation signal is output to the high-resolution electrode 4.
[0104] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
