[0030] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the present utility clearer and more understandable, the following specifically describes the present utility in combination with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific implementation manners of the present utility, and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by the present utility.

[0031] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, a head-mounted device based on a brain-computer interface includes an installation part 1, and the installation part 1 provides a fixed and installation platform for the overall installation of the device;

[0032] The upper end of the installation part 1 is provided with an upper top part 2. The upper top part 2 cooperates with the top of the head of the acquisition target, collects relevant data of the top of the head of the target through the upper top part 2, and analyzes the collected data;

[0033] One end of the installation part 1 is provided with a frontal part 3. The frontal part 3 cooperates with the front of the forehead of the acquisition target, collects the frontal data of the target through the frontal part 3, and sends the collected data to the upper top part 2 for data analysis;

[0034] The upper top part 2 includes an installation housing 201, a control button 202, an adjustment knob 203, a rotating bolt 204, an acquisition probe 205 and a controller 206. One end of the installation housing 201 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the installation part 1. The control button 202 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the installation housing 201. The adjustment knob 203 is rotatably arranged inside the installation housing 201. The upper end of the rotating bolt 204 is clamped inside the adjustment knob 203, and the upper end of the rotating bolt 204 is rotatably connected to the inside of the installation housing 201. The inside of the acquisition probe 205 is threadedly connected to the outer edge of the rotating bolt 204. The controller 206 is fixedly connected to the inside of the installation housing 201, and the controller 206 is electrically connected to the control button 202 and the acquisition probe 205. The controller 206 is electrically connected to an external computer.

[0035] Specifically, when the device needs to be worn, the entire installation part 1 is worn on the top of the head, so that the inner side of the upper top part 2 contacts the target top of the head, and the front forehead part 3 is adjusted to the target forehead. Then, rotate the adjuster 105 to reel in the cable, thereby driving the connecting piece 103 to slide inside the rear guard plate 101. By the sliding connecting piece 103, the inner circumference size of the combination of the front forehead part 3, the connecting piece 103, and the rear guard plate 101 is changed to adapt to the head circumferences of different targets, so that the upper top part 2 and the front forehead part 3 are in close contact with the target head. At this time, the entire device is fixed on the target head;

[0036] Then, rotate the adjustment knob 203 to drive the rotating bolt 204 to rotate together. The rotation of the rotating bolt 204 can drive the thread-connected acquisition probe 205 to extend or retract into the installation housing 201. Through the operations of extending and retracting the acquisition probe 205, not only can the acquisition probe 205 adapt to different head shapes, but also the acquisition probe 205 can be in close contact with the scalp to ensure the accuracy of the acquisition of electro-signal data;

[0037] Then, start the acquisition probe 205 and the touch block 302 through the control button 202. The acquisition probe 205 and the touch block 302 send the acquired data to the controller 206 for analysis and processing. The controller 206 is a main board integrated with a computing chip, so as to achieve the purpose of collecting electro-signal information of the brain scalp.

[0038] As Figure 7 shown, a limit ring is integrally formed at the upper end of the rotating bolt 204. The limit ring is arranged inside the installation housing 201. Through the cooperation of the limit ring and the adjustment knob 203, the upper end of the rotating bolt 204 can be fixed inside the installation housing 201 to prevent the rotating bolt 204 from falling out of the inside of the installation housing 201.

[0039] As Figure 2 shown, a cross slot is opened at the upper end of the rotating bolt 204, and a limit plane is opened on one side of the upper end of the rotating bolt 204. The limit plane cooperates with the inside of the adjustment knob 203. Through the cross slot at the upper end of the rotating bolt 204, when the rotating bolt 204 is installed into the inside of the adjustment knob 203, the upper end of the rotating bolt 204 can deform until the upper end of the rotating bolt 204 is completely inserted into the inside of the adjustment knob 203, and then the cross slot elastically returns to the initial state and is stuck inside the adjustment knob 203 to complete the assembly, thereby improving the convenience of installing the rotating bolt 204 into the inside of the adjustment knob 203;

[0040] The limiting notch opened on one side of the upper end of the rotating bolt 204 destroys the cylindrical structure of the upper end of the rotating bolt 204. During the process of the adjustment knob 203 driving the rotation of the rotating bolt 204, the upper end of the rotating bolt 204 is restricted by the internal structure of the adjustment knob 203 and cannot rotate idly inside the adjustment knob 203, ensuring that the rotating bolt 204 rotates together with the adjustment knob 203.

[0041] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the acquisition probe 205 includes an acquisition housing 2051, a mounting cover plate 2052, a contact 2053, and an elastic reset member 2054. The acquisition housing 2051 is slidably disposed inside the mounting housing 201. The mounting cover plate 2052 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the acquisition housing 2051, and the inside of the mounting cover plate 2052 is threadedly connected to the outer edge of the rotating bolt 204. The contact 2053 is slidably disposed inside the lower end of the mounting housing 201. The contact 2053 is electrically connected to the controller 206. The elastic reset member 2054 is disposed inside the mounting cover plate 2052 and the contact 2053.

[0042] A guiding groove matching the outer edge of the acquisition housing 2051 is opened inside the mounting housing 201. When the rotating bolt 204 needs to rotate, the rotating bolt 204 drives the mounting cover plate 2052 connected by thread to slide in and out inside the acquisition housing 2051. The mounting cover plate 2052 drives the acquisition housing 2051 to slide in and out. The guiding groove opened inside the mounting housing 201 can not only provide guidance for the acquisition housing 2051, but also restrict the rotation of the acquisition housing 2051 and the mounting cover plate 2052 through the structure, thereby preventing the acquisition housing 2051 and the mounting cover plate 2052 from rotating together during the rotation of the rotating bolt 204 and ensuring the extension and contraction of the acquisition housing 2051 and the mounting cover plate 2052.

[0043] During the process of the acquisition housing 2051 extending, the contact 2053 will contact the target scalp. As the acquisition housing 2051 continues to extend, the contact 2053 will slide inside the acquisition housing 2051 and press the elastic reset member 2054. Through the extrusion of the elastic reset member 2054, the contact 2053 always contacts the target scalp, thereby improving the accuracy of the contact 2053 for collecting data of the target scalp.

[0044] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the installation part 1 includes a rear guard plate 101, a rear gasket 102, a connecting member 103, a connecting band 104, and a regulator 105. The rear guard plate 101 is matched with the back of the head of the acquisition target. The rear gasket 102 is arranged inside the rear guard plate 101. There are two connecting members 103, and the two connecting members 103 are respectively slidably arranged inside the two ends of the rear guard plate 101. The other ends of the two connecting members 103 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the frontal part 3. There are two connecting bands 104. One end of one connecting band 104 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rear guard plate 101, and the other end of the connecting band 104 is fixedly connected to one end of the installation housing 201. The other end of the other connecting band 104 is fixedly connected to the other end of the installation housing 201, and the other end of the connecting band 104 is fixedly connected to the frontal part 3. The regulator 105 is rotatably arranged outside the rear guard plate 101, and the regulator 105 is fixedly connected to the other ends of the two connecting members 103 through a cable;

[0045] When the installation part 1 is worn on the target head, the rear guard plate 101 is adjusted to the back of the target head, and the rear gasket 102 is arranged between the rear guard plate 101 and the back of the head, so as to improve the comfort of the target wearing. The inner side of the upper top part 2 contacts the top of the target head, and the frontal part 3 is adjusted to contact the target forehead. Then, the regulator 105 is rotated to reel in the cable, thereby driving the connecting member 103 to slide inside the rear guard plate 101. By the sliding connecting member 103, the inner perimeter size of the combination of the frontal part 3, the connecting member 103, and the rear guard plate 101 is changed, so as to adapt to the head circumferences of different targets, so that the rear guard plate 101 and the frontal part 3 are always attached to the target head, improving the fitting degree of the target wearing, and further increasing the acquisition sensitivity of the frontal part 3;

[0046] Then, the connecting member 103 is buckled and closed, and the two sides of the whole device are fixed on both sides of the head through the buckled connecting member 103, so as to realize the fixing operation of the installation part 1 on the target head, and thus improve the stability of the installation part 1 on the target head.

[0047] As Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the frontal part 3 includes a frontal seat 301 and a touch block 302. The two ends of the frontal seat 301 are fixedly connected to the other ends of the corresponding connecting members 103, and the upper end of the frontal seat 301 is fixedly connected to the other end of the corresponding connecting band 104. There are multiple touch blocks 302, and the touch blocks 302 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the frontal seat 301. The touch blocks 302 are electrically connected to the controller 206;

[0048] The front forehead seat 301 corresponds horizontally to the rear guard plate 101. When the connecting belt 104 drives the front forehead seat 301 and the rear guard plate 101 to apply a fastening pressure to the target head, it can improve the degree of fit between the front forehead seat 301 and the contact block 302 and the target front forehead, thereby improving the accuracy of the contact block 302 for collecting data on the target front forehead. The data collected from the front forehead by the contact block 302 is further transmitted as an electrical signal to the controller 206 for analysis.

[0049] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the device needs to be worn, the whole of the installation part 1 is worn on the top of the head, so that the inner side of the upper top 2 contacts the target top of the head, and the front forehead part 3 is adjusted to the target forehead. Then, the regulator 105 is rotated to reel in the cable, thereby driving the connecting member 103 to slide inside the rear guard plate 101. By the sliding connecting member 103, the inner peripheral dimension of the combination of the front forehead part 3, the connecting member 103, and the rear guard plate 101 is changed to adapt to the head circumferences of different targets, so that the upper top 2 and the front forehead part 3 are in close contact with the target head. At this time, the whole device is fixed on the target head.

[0050] Then, by rotating the adjustment knob 203, the rotating bolt 204 is driven to rotate together. The rotation of the rotating bolt 204 can drive the collecting probe 205 connected by threads to extend or retract into the interior of the installation housing 201. Through the operations of extending and retracting the collecting probe 205, not only can the collecting probe 205 adapt to different head shapes, but also the collecting probe 205 can be in close contact with the scalp to ensure the accuracy of collecting electrical signal data.

[0051] Then, the collecting probe 205 and the contact block 302 are started through the control button 202. The collecting probe 205 and the contact block 302 send the collected data to the controller 206 for analysis and processing, so as to achieve the purpose of collecting electroencephalogram signal information.

[0052] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, without departing from the principle of this utility model, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of this utility model.
