Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transcranial therapy technology, and more specifically, to a transcranial microcurrent stimulator based on a mobile device. Background Technology

[0002] Transcranial electrical stimulation (TCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that modulates brain neuronal activity by applying a weak electrical current to the scalp. It is used to improve neurological or psychiatric disorders such as cognitive impairment, depression, and chronic pain. It is highly safe with few side effects, but its effectiveness varies from person to person and should be used under professional guidance.

[0003] During transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) therapy, electrode pads are usually attached to the patient's scalp. However, simply attaching the electrode pads can cause them to fall off due to their own weight and the pulling force generated by the swinging of the transmission lines during movement, which can lead to interruption of TES therapy and affect the treatment effect. Although some TES therapy devices on the market are equipped with fixation mechanisms, they can easily cause pressure on the patient's head and discomfort when worn. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a transcranial microcurrent stimulator based on a mobile device, which solves the technical problems in related technologies such as electrode pads not being firmly fixed and easily falling off, and the pressure caused during fixation causing physical discomfort to patients.

[0005] The present invention provides a transcranial microcurrent stimulator based on a mobile device, including a main unit and electrode pads connected to the main unit via a transmission line, wherein a wearing adjustment component is provided at the end of the transmission line away from the main unit; The wearing adjustment component includes a fixing part fixedly connected to the transmission line, and a connecting part fixedly connected to the top of the fixing part. An adjustment part is slidably connected to the top of a plurality of connecting parts. An airbag strip is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing part, and an air pump is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing part.

[0006] As a further optimization of the present invention, the fixed part is provided with a switching ventilation component, the switching ventilation component includes an air duct provided inside the fixed part, a switcher is fixedly connected inside the fixed part, and a first air outlet is provided on both sides of the switcher. The inner walls on both sides and the inner and outer walls at the rear end of the fixed part are provided with flow openings, and the fixed part is hollow.

[0007] As a further optimization of the present invention, the rear end of the switch is provided with a second air vent that communicates with the airbag strip, the interior of the switch is rotatably connected to a turntable, and the rear end and side of the turntable are respectively provided with a first through hole and a second through hole, the rear end of the switch is fixedly connected to a motor, and the output shaft of the motor passes through the interior of the switch and is fixedly connected to the turntable.

[0008] As a further optimization of the present invention, the air pump is connected to the turntable, the first through hole is initially connected to the second air outlet, and after the turntable rotates 90 degrees, the second through hole is connected to the first air outlet.

[0009] As a further optimization of the present invention, the fixed part is provided with a smoothing component inside. The smoothing component includes a fixed column fixedly connected inside the fixed part, a movable cylinder movably connected to the outside of the fixed column, and a fan rotatably connected to the outside of the movable cylinder through a damping bearing. A spring is fixedly connected between the front end of the movable cylinder and the inner wall of the fixed part. A lever is fixedly connected to the outside of the movable cylinder, and a ball is movably connected to the outside of the lever. A sliding groove is provided on the outside of the fixed column, and a limit slider is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable cylinder.

[0010] As a further optimization of the present invention, after the air pump is started, the blowing force of the airflow inside the fixed part on the fan is greater than the rotational resistance of the damping bearing and greater than the rotational resistance between the movable cylinder and the fixed column, and the ball bearing is in contact with the electrode plate.

[0011] As a further optimization of the present invention, the fixed part is provided with a massage component inside. The massage component includes a fixed cylinder fixedly connected inside the fixed part, and one end of the fixed cylinder extends through to the inner side of the fixed part and is fixedly connected to a rubber cylinder. A magnetic rod is slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder. The magnetic rod has an inclined surface on the side near the fan, and a magnet that repels the magnetic rod is provided at the edge of the fan.

[0012] As a further optimization of the present invention, the magnetic repulsion between the magnetic rod and the magnet on the fan surface is greater than the elastic force of the rubber tube, the fixed part is distributed around the electrode sheet, and the moving distance of the magnetic rod is greater than the maximum expansion width of the airbag strip.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The present invention discloses a transcranial microcurrent stimulator based on a mobile device. By placing the fixing part of the wearing adjustment component on the patient's head, the electrode pads on the inner side of the fixing part correspond to the treatment area on the patient's forehead. Then, the adjusting part is pushed to slide outside the connecting part to adjust the wearing adjustment component so that the adjusting part is positioned at the top of the patient's head, achieving initial positioning of the fixing part. After that, the air pump is activated to draw outside air into the air bag strip, causing the air bag strip to expand. The expanded air bag strip wraps around the patient's head to achieve secondary fixation of the fixing part. By wearing the adjustment component, the stimulator can be fixed on the heads of different patients. At the same time, the adjustment operation is convenient and the fixation is quick. Moreover, the use of air bag strip expansion fixation method reduces the pressure on the patient's head and reduces the discomfort caused to the patient during fixation.

[0014] 2. The transcranial microcurrent stimulator based on a mobile device described in this invention uses an air pump to introduce outside air into the interior of the fixation unit. After the airflow enters the fixation unit, it circulates inside and enters the air duct through the circulation port. Finally, the airflow is discharged to the outside through the circulation port from the rear of the fixation unit. This achieves ventilation between the fixation unit and the patient's head, avoiding the stuffiness caused by the fixation unit being worn on the patient's head for a long time during treatment, improving the patient's comfort during treatment, and alleviating the discomfort caused by the current stimulation during treatment.

[0015] 3. The transcranial microcurrent stimulator based on a mobile device described in this invention uses a fan to rotate a movable cylinder, which slides within a groove using a limiting slider. This causes the movable cylinder to slide backward along the surface of a fixed column while rotating. During this sliding motion, the movable cylinder pushes the electrode pads to adhere to the patient's forehead. Simultaneously, the rotation of the movable cylinder drives a lever to rotate, causing a ball bearing to roll and adhere to the electrode pads. The lever's arc-shaped structure ensures the ball bearings evenly spread the electrode pads during rolling, preventing wrinkles and improving adhesion. This avoids uneven current distribution caused by edge lifting or wrinkles, reducing adverse reactions such as burns to the patient's skin during electrical stimulation treatment and ensuring the safety of the treatment.

[0016] 4. The transcranial microcurrent stimulator based on a mobile device described in this invention uses a magnetic rod to push a rubber cylinder to extend and press the edge of the treatment area, thereby increasing the blood circulation speed around the treatment area, reducing patient discomfort during treatment, and improving the treatment effect.

[0019] The subject matter described herein will now be discussed with reference to exemplary embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are discussed only to enable those skilled in the art to better understand and implement the subject matter described herein, and changes may be made to the function and arrangement of the elements discussed without departing from the scope of this specification. Various processes or components may be omitted, substituted, or added as needed in the examples. Furthermore, features described in some examples may be combined in other examples.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, a transcranial microcurrent stimulator based on a mobile device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a host 10 and an electrode 12 connected to the host 10 via a transmission line 11. The end of the transmission line 11 away from the host 10 is provided with a wearing adjustment component 20. The wearing adjustment component 20 includes a fixing part 21 fixedly connected to the transmission line 11, and a connecting part 22 fixedly connected to the top of the fixing part 21. An adjustment part 23 is slidably connected to the top of a plurality of connecting parts 22. An airbag strip 24 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing part 21, and an air pump 25 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing part 21.

[0021] It should be noted that, firstly, the fixing part 21 of the wearing adjustment component 20 is placed on the patient's head, so that the electrode plate 12 on the inner side of the fixing part 21 corresponds to the treatment area on the patient's forehead. Then, the adjustment part 23 is pushed to slide outside the connecting part 22 to adjust the wearing adjustment component 20, so that the adjustment part 23 hits the top of the patient's head, achieving the initial positioning of the fixing part 21. After that, the air pump 25 is started, and the air pump 25 draws outside air into the air bag strip 24, causing the air bag strip 24 to expand. The expanded air bag strip 24 wraps around the patient's head to achieve secondary fixation of the fixing part 21. By wearing the adjustment component 20, the stimulator can be fixed on the heads of different patients. At the same time, the adjustment operation is convenient and the fixation is quick. Moreover, the fixation method of the expanded air bag strip 24 reduces the pressure on the patient's head and reduces the discomfort caused to the patient during fixation. After that, the electrode plate 12 is energized by the main unit 10 to realize transcranial current stimulation therapy for the patient.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the fixed part 21 is provided with a switching ventilation assembly 30. The switching ventilation assembly 30 includes an air duct 31 located inside the fixed part 21. A switcher 32 is fixedly connected inside the fixed part 21. First air vents 33 are provided on both sides of the switcher 32. Flow openings 39 are provided on both sides of the inner wall and the inner and outer walls of the rear end of the fixed part 21. The fixed part 21 has a hollow structure inside. The switcher 32 has a second air vent 34 at its rear end that communicates with the airbag strip 24. The switcher 32 is rotatably connected to a turntable 35. The turntable 35 has a first through hole 37 and a second through hole 38 at its rear end and side, respectively. The switcher 32 is fixedly connected to a motor 36 at its rear end. The output shaft of the motor 36 passes through the interior of the switcher 32 and is fixedly connected to the turntable 35. The air pump 25 is connected to the turntable 35. The first through hole 37 is initially connected to the second air outlet 34. After the turntable 35 rotates 90 degrees, the second through hole 38 is connected to the first air outlet 33.

[0023] It should be noted that after the airbag strip 24 is inflated and fixed, the inner side of the fixing part 21, located between the two airbag strips 24, forms an air duct 31 with the patient's head. Then, the motor 36 drives the turntable 35 to rotate 90 degrees, so that the second through hole 38 is aligned with the first air outlet 33 on the switch 32. After that, the air pump 25 introduces outside air into the interior of the fixing part 21. After the airflow enters the fixing part 21, it circulates inside and enters the air duct 31 through the flow port 39. Finally, the airflow is discharged to the outside from the rear of the fixing part 21 through the flow port 39, realizing ventilation between the fixing part 21 and the patient's head. This avoids the patient's head from feeling stuffy and hot due to the fixing part 21 being worn on the patient's head for a long time during treatment, improves the patient's comfort during treatment, and alleviates the discomfort caused by the electric current stimulation during treatment.

[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the interior of the fixing part 21 is provided with a smoothing component 40. The smoothing component 40 includes a fixing post 41 fixedly connected to the interior of the fixing part 21. A movable cylinder 42 is movably connected to the outside of the fixing post 41, and a fan 43 is rotatably connected to the outside of the movable cylinder 42 through a damping bearing. A spring 44 is fixedly connected between the front end of the movable cylinder 42 and the inner wall of the fixing part 21. A lever 45 is fixedly connected to the outside of the movable cylinder 42, and a ball bearing 46 is movably connected to the outside of the lever 45. A sliding groove 47 is opened on the outside of the fixing post 41, and a limit slider 48 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable cylinder 42. After the air pump 25 is started, the airflow inside the fixed part 21 blows the fan 43 with a force greater than the rotational resistance of the damping bearing, which is greater than the rotational resistance between the movable cylinder 42 and the fixed column 41. The ball 46 is in contact with the electrode plate 12.

[0025] It should be noted that when the air pump 25 introduces outside air into the fixed part 21, the air circulates inside the fixed part 21 and blows the fan 43 to rotate. The rotation of the fan 43 drives the movable cylinder 42 to rotate, causing the movable cylinder 42 to slide inside the slide groove 47 using the limiting slider 48. This causes the movable cylinder 42 to slide backward along the surface of the fixed column 41 while rotating. During the sliding process, the movable cylinder 42 pushes the electrode pad 12 to fit against the patient's forehead. At the same time, the rotation of the movable cylinder 42 drives the lever 45 to rotate. During the rotation of the lever 45, the ball bearing 46 rolls against the electrode pad 12. Utilizing the arc-shaped structure of the lever 45, the ball bearing 46 rolls... During the process, the electrode pad 12 is smoothed to avoid wrinkles after it is applied to the patient's forehead, thus improving the fit between the electrode pad 12 and the patient's forehead. This also prevents uneven current distribution caused by unevenness or wrinkles on the electrode pad 12, reducing adverse reactions such as burns to the patient's skin during electrical stimulation treatment and ensuring the safety of the treatment. When the limiting slider 48 on the inner wall of the movable cylinder 42 moves to the end of the groove 47, the movable cylinder 42 stops rotating. The fan 43 continues to rotate on the surface of the movable cylinder 42 using a damping bearing until the treatment is completed, at which point ventilation to the inside of the fixed part 21 stops. At this time, the spring 44 pulls the movable cylinder 42 back to its original position.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the fixed part 21 is provided with a massage component 50 inside. The massage component 50 includes a fixed cylinder 51 fixedly connected inside the fixed part 21. One end of the fixed cylinder 51 extends through the inner side of the fixed part 21 and is fixedly connected with a rubber cylinder 52. A magnetic rod 53 is slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder 51. The magnetic rod 53 has an inclined surface on the side near the fan 43. A magnet that repels the magnetic rod 53 is provided at the edge of the fan 43. The magnetic repulsion between the magnetic rod 53 and the magnet on the surface of the fan 43 is greater than the elastic force of the rubber tube 52. The fixing part 21 is distributed around the electrode plate 12. The moving distance of the magnetic rod 53 is greater than the maximum expansion width of the airbag strip 24.

[0027] It should be noted that during the rotation of the fan 43, the magnet on its surface rotates synchronously. When the magnet rotates to the position corresponding to the magnetic rod 53, the inclined surface at the end of the magnetic rod 53 slides inside the fixed cylinder 51 under the action of magnetic repulsion. When the magnetic rod 53 slides, it pushes the rubber cylinder 52 to extend and contact the treatment area on the patient's forehead. When the fan 43 rotates and drives the magnet past the magnetic rod 53, the rubber cylinder 52 elastically resets and drives the magnetic rod 53 to move back. This process is repeated, using the magnetic rod 53 to push the rubber cylinder 52 to extend and press the edge of the treatment area, thereby improving the blood circulation speed around the treatment area, reducing the patient's discomfort during the treatment process, and improving the treatment effect.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but the embodiments are not limited to the specific implementation methods described above. The specific implementation methods described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the embodiments described above, all of which are within the protection scope of the embodiments described above.
