[0021] The utility model is specifically introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] This embodiment provides a wearable motion acquisition device based on a flexible strain sensor, see Figure 1 As shown, it includes an elastic sleeve 1 and a recording box 2. The elastic sleeve 1 is made of elastic fabric. A plurality of flexible strain sensors 3 are arranged at intervals on the outer wall of the elastic sleeve 1. Both ends of the flexible strain sensors 3 are connected to sensing wires 4. A hidden fabric sleeve 5 is sewn on the upper part of the elastic sleeve 1. The sensing wire 4 passes through the hidden fabric sleeve 5. A socket 6 is installed at one end of the hidden fabric sleeve 5. The socket 6 and the sensing wire 4 are electrically connected.

[0023] The lower surface of the recording box 2 is provided with a first Velcro 7, and the outer wall of the elastic sleeve 1 near the end of the socket 6 is provided with a second Velcro 8. The recording box 2 is fixed to the elastic sleeve 1 by the first Velcro 7 and the second Velcro 8. The recording box 2 has a plug 9, and the socket 6 is plugged with the plug 9, which is plugged into the socket 6. Figure 2 As shown, a processor 10, a memory 11, a power supply 12 and a USB interface 13 are provided in the recording box 2. The processor 10 is electrically connected to the plug 9 and the memory 11 respectively, the memory 11 is electrically connected to the USB interface 13, and the power supply 12 is connected to the processor 10 for supplying power to the system.

[0024] During operation, the elastic sleeve 1 is put on the forearm or calf. When grasping or standing on tiptoe, the muscles of the forearm or leg expand, thereby pushing the flexible strain sensor 3 to deform. The processor 10 can periodically or continuously collect the resistance change of the flexible strain sensor 3, and input the data of the resistance change value into the memory 11 for storage after processing. When it is necessary to read the data, the data in the memory 11 is read through the USB interface 13 external device, so as to judge the user's exercise state and exercise amount according to the data change value, and monitor the exercise data.

It is particularly suitable for scenarios that require detailed tracking of the motion status of specific body parts, such as sports training, rehabilitation treatment and health management in daily life.

[0026] The above is only a preferred implementation of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model patent.
