Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rehabilitation training, and more particularly to a cognitive impairment rehabilitation training prompting device. Background Technology

[0002] Cognitive function refers to the integrated functional state of reasoning, judgment, calculation, attention and memory. Under normal circumstances, everyone's cognitive function gradually develops and evolves. However, premature decline in cognitive function can affect life. Many patients with neurological disorders, serious mental illnesses and the elderly have varying degrees of cognitive impairment.

[0003] In daily clinical practice, patients with cognitive impairment are treated not only with medication but also with targeted training. Currently, the most common training methods are imagery training, such as verbal cues, guided audio recordings, and video recordings. However, this is insufficient to fully and effectively improve the patient's memory, resulting in inadequate cognitive improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a cognitive impairment rehabilitation training prompting device that can more fully and effectively enhance patients' memory and improve their cognition.

[0005] Technical solution: A cognitive impairment rehabilitation training prompting device includes a base, a shell, a fixing plate, a prompting mechanism, and a limiting mechanism. The shell is placed on the base, and the shell has an opening for reaching out and a groove. The fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell. The fixing plate has six square grooves. The prompting mechanism is provided on one side of the fixing plate and is connected to the bottom of the shell. The limiting mechanism is located at the bottom of the shell.

[0006] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the prompting mechanism includes a slider, a pressing rod, a ball handle, a vertical spring, a long connecting rod, and letter blocks. Each square slot on the fixed plate is slidably connected to a slider, the top of each slider is fixedly connected to a pressing rod, the top of each pressing rod is fixedly connected to a ball handle, the bottom of each pressing rod is connected to the bottom of the housing, the top of each slider is fixedly connected to a long connecting rod, each long connecting rod is slidably connected to the fixed plate, and the end of each long connecting rod away from the ball handle is fixedly connected to a letter block.

[0007] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the limiting mechanism includes a handle, a displacement plate, telescopic inclined blocks, a return spring, and a strong spring. The handle is slidably connected to the outer shell, and the displacement plate is fixedly connected to one end of the handle near the fixed plate. Six telescopic inclined blocks are slidably connected to one side of the displacement plate near the fixed plate. Each telescopic inclined block has an inclined surface, and a return spring is connected between each telescopic inclined block and the displacement plate. Two strong springs are connected between the displacement plate and the inner wall of the outer shell.

[0008] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a tactile mechanism, which includes a fixed block, a fixed shell, a telescopic block, and a transverse spring. Several fixed blocks are fixedly connected to the fixed plate, and the fixed blocks are located behind the characters. The number of fixed blocks corresponds to the number on the characters. A fixed shell is fixedly connected to the upper part of each pressing rod, and a telescopic block is slidably connected inside each fixed shell. A transverse spring connects the telescopic block and the fixed shell.

[0009] In addition, it is particularly preferred that it also includes anti-slip balls, with several anti-slip balls fixedly connected to each ball handle.

[0010] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a cover, which is fixedly connected to one side of the outer casing, with the hand opening located in the middle of the cover.

[0011] Furthermore, it is particularly preferred that the device also includes a magnifying glass, which is fixedly connected to a groove on the housing.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0013] 1. During training, the patient sits on the side closest to the ball handle, and the caregiver sits on the side closest to the number block. The patient closes their eyes. When the caregiver calls out any number from 1 to 6, the patient inserts their hand into the casing through the hand-access opening and counts from left to right. When the number called out by the caregiver is reached, the patient presses one of the ball handles. This ball handle moves one of the number blocks downwards. The caregiver can see the number on one of the number blocks through a groove on the casing, thus knowing whether the patient has pressed it correctly. By carefully listening to the numbers called out by the caregiver, the patient improves their concentration and then finds the corresponding ball handle for each number called out. This trains the patient's thinking ability, thus fully and effectively enhancing memory and improving overall cognition.

[0014] Second, during training, the patient hears the nurse call out a number and selects one of the ball handles to press. One of the ball handles moves downward, causing one of the fixed shells and one of the telescopic blocks to move downward, so that the patient can feel the vibration. The patient can calculate whether the number they pressed is correct based on the number they feel. The nurse observes whether the patient is correct based on the number on the whiteboard, which can further enhance the patient's memory and thus further improve the patient's cognition.

[0015] Third, the several anti-slip balls on the ball handle can stimulate the patient's sense of touch, making the patient's memory of what they touched deeper, thereby further enhancing the patient's memory and further improving the patient's cognition.

[0016] Fourth, the covering allows patients to train without closing their eyes. When the text blocks reach the magnifying glass, the font size of the text blocks will be enlarged, making it clearer for nursing staff. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] All standard parts used in this invention can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, welding, and bonding that are mature in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] A cognitive impairment rehabilitation training prompting device, such as Figures 1-11 As shown, it includes a base 1, a shell 2, a fixing plate 4, a prompting mechanism, and a limiting mechanism. The shell 2 is placed on the base 1. The shell 2 has a hand opening 3, which is located in the middle of one side of the shell. The shell 2 has a groove, which is on the same horizontal plane as the hand opening 3. The fixing plate 4 is bolted to the bottom of the shell 2. The fixing plate 4 has six square grooves. The prompting mechanism is provided on one side of the fixing plate 4 and is connected to the bottom of the shell 2. The limiting mechanism is located at the bottom of the shell 2.

[0032] The prompting mechanism includes a slider 51, a pressing rod 52, a ball handle 53, a vertical spring 54, a long connecting rod 55, and a number block 56. Each square slot on the fixed plate 4 is slidably connected to a slider 51. Each slider 51 has a bevel at the end near the slot on the outer shell. The top of each slider 51 is bolted to a pressing rod 52. The top of each pressing rod 52 is bolted to a ball handle 53. The bottom of each pressing rod 52 is hooked to the bottom of the inner shell 2 and connected to a vertical spring 54. The top of each slider 51 is bolted to a long connecting rod 55. Each long connecting rod 55 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 4. The end of each long connecting rod 55 away from the ball handle 53 is bolted to a number block 56. Each number block 56 has a number on it.

[0033] The limiting mechanism includes a handle 61, a displacement plate 62, a telescopic inclined block 63, a return spring 64, and a strong spring 65. The handle 61 is slidably connected to the outer shell 2. The end of the handle 61 near the fixed plate 4 is connected to the displacement plate 62 by bolts. Six telescopic inclined blocks 63 are slidably connected to the side of the displacement plate 62 near the fixed plate 4. Each telescopic inclined block 63 has an inclined surface, which is located below the inclined surface on the slider 51. Each telescopic inclined block 63 and the displacement plate 62 are connected to a return spring 64 by hooks. Two strong springs 65 are connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 2 by hooks.

[0034] During training, the patient sits near the ball handle 53, and the caregiver sits near the number block 56. The patient closes their eyes. When the caregiver calls out any number from 1 to 6, the patient inserts their hand into the housing 2 through the hand-access opening 3 and counts from left to right. When the number called out by the caregiver is reached, one of the ball handles 53 is pressed down. This causes one of the ball handles 53 to move downwards, which in turn causes one of the pressure levers 52 to move downwards, compressing one of the vertical springs 54. The downward movement of the pressure lever 52 then causes one of the sliding springs 54 to move downwards. Block 51 moves downwards, causing one slider 51 to move downwards, which in turn causes one long connecting rod 55 to move downwards. The long connecting rod 55 then causes one number block 56 to move downwards. When one slider 51 moves to contact one telescopic ramp 63, it pushes the ramp 63 towards the strong spring 65, compressing a return spring 64. When one slider 51 is no longer in contact with the ramp 63, the return spring 64 resets, causing the ramp 63 to reset and preventing it from moving upwards. The caregiver can see the number on one number block 56 through the slot on the outer casing 2, thus knowing whether the patient has pressed the correct number. The patient improves their concentration by carefully listening to the numbers called out by the caregiver and then finding the corresponding ball handle 53 for each number, thereby exercising their thinking ability and effectively enhancing memory and improving overall cognition. After training, the caregiver moves the handle 61 towards... Pulling away from the fixed plate 4 compresses the strong spring 65, causing the handle 61 to move and move the displacement plate 62. The movement of the displacement plate 62 then moves the telescopic inclined block 63, causing one of the telescopic inclined blocks 63 to no longer block one of the sliders 51. The vertical spring 54 then resets, causing the slider 51 to move upwards and reset. The upward movement of the slider 51 then resets the pressure rod 52, the ball handle 53, the long connecting rod 55, and the letter block 56. Then, the operator releases the handle 61, causing the strong spring 65 to reset. The reset of the strong spring 65 then resets the displacement plate 62 and the telescopic inclined block 63.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 7 and Figures 9-11As shown, it also includes a tactile mechanism, which includes a fixed block 71, a fixed shell 72, a telescopic block 73, and a transverse spring 74. Several fixed blocks 71 are bolted to the fixed plate 4. The fixed blocks 71 are located behind the characters 56. The number of fixed blocks 71 corresponds to the number on the characters 56. Each pressing rod 52 is bolted to the upper part of a fixed shell 72. A telescopic block 73 is slidably connected inside each fixed shell 72. The telescopic block 73 will contact the fixed block 71. A transverse spring 74 is connected between the telescopic block 73 and the fixed shell 72 through a hook.

[0037] During training, the patient hears a number called out by the nurse and presses one of the ball handles 53. One ball handle 53 moves downwards, causing one fixed shell 72 and one telescopic block 73 to move downwards as well. When one telescopic block 73 contacts one fixed block 71, it moves closer to one of the downward pressure levers 52, compressing one of the horizontal springs 74. When the telescopic block 73 continues to move downwards until it no longer contacts the fixed block 71, one of the horizontal springs 74 returns to its original position, causing one of the telescopic blocks 73 to return to its original position. The patient feels a vibration and can calculate whether the number pressed is correct based on the number felt. The nurse observes the patient's accuracy based on the numbers on the display board, thus further enhancing the patient's memory and improving their cognition. After training, the nurse pulls the handle 61 away from the fixed plate 4, causing a strong... When the force spring 65 is compressed, the handle 61 moves, causing the displacement plate 62 to move. The movement of the displacement plate 62 causes the telescopic inclined block 63 to move, so that the telescopic inclined block 63 no longer presses against the slider 51. The vertical spring 54 will then return to its original position. The return of the vertical spring 54 causes the slider 51 to move upward and return to its original position. The upward movement of the slider 51 causes the lower pressure rod 52 to move upward. The upward movement of the lower pressure rod 52 causes the fixed shell 72 to move upward. The upward movement of the fixed shell 72 causes the telescopic circular block 73 to move upward. The telescopic circular block 73 moves upward to... When the fixed block 71 is in contact, the telescopic block 73 will move towards the side closer to the lowering rod 52, and the transverse spring 74 will be compressed. When the telescopic block 73 is no longer in contact with the fixed block 71, the transverse spring 74 will reset. The reset of the transverse spring 74 will drive the telescopic block 73 to reset. The reset of the slider 51 will also drive the ball handle 53, the long connecting rod 55 and the letter block 56 to reset. Then the operator releases the grip 61, and the strong spring 65 will reset. The reset of the strong spring 65 will drive the displacement plate 62 and the telescopic inclined block 63 to reset.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] Based on Example 2, such as Figures 2-4 , Figures 6-9 and Figure 11As shown, it also includes anti-slip balls 8. Each ball handle 53 is connected to several anti-slip balls 8 by bolts. The anti-slip balls 8 have a semi-circular protruding structure.

[0040] The several anti-slip balls 8 on the ball handle 53 can stimulate the patient's sense of touch, making the patient's memory of what they touched deeper, thereby further enhancing the patient's memory and further improving the patient's cognition.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] Based on Example 3, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a cover 9. The cover 9 is bolted to one side of the outer shell 2. The cover 9 is made of opaque material, and the hand opening 3 is located in the middle of the cover 9.

[0043] It also includes a magnifying glass 10, which is fixedly connected to a groove on the outer casing 2.

[0044] The covering cloth 9 allows patients to train without closing their eyes. When the text block 56 reaches the magnifying glass 10, the text on the text block 56 will be enlarged, making it clearer for caregivers.
