Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vestibular rehabilitation training, in particular to an intelligent balance mat for vestibular rehabilitation training. Background Art

[0002] The vestibular system is a key part of the human body in maintaining a sense of balance. It provides spatial orientation information by sensing the movement, position changes, and acceleration of the head, and coordinates the balance and posture of the whole body. When the vestibular system is abnormal, it will directly affect the sense of balance. The patient may experience symptoms such as imbalance, unstable gait, abnormal posture, and incoordination of movements. In severe cases, the risk of falling will increase. In addition, vestibular system abnormalities are often accompanied by problems such as motion sickness, vertigo, and spatial disorientation, which seriously affect the patient's daily life and social activities. Therefore, early diagnosis and timely rehabilitation treatment are very important, which can help patients with vestibular system abnormalities restore or compensate for vestibular function, improve balance, and reduce the risk of falls and other complications.

[0003] With the increasing aging of society and changes in lifestyle, the incidence of vestibular dysfunction has been rising year by year, particularly among those over 60. Given my country's large population and the increasingly serious aging problem, the need for vestibular rehabilitation has become increasingly urgent. However, traditional rehabilitation methods typically rely on medication and physical therapy, which still have limitations in terms of personalization, targeting, and recovery efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the problems and shortcomings of the prior art and provides a novel intelligent balance mat for vestibular rehabilitation training.

[0005] The utility model solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model provides a novel intelligent balance cushion for vestibular rehabilitation training, which is characterized in that it includes an airbag, an array pressure sensor, a controller, an air pump, a solenoid valve, an air pressure sensor and an inflation tube. The upper surface of the airbag is fixedly connected to a lower cushion body, the lower cushion body is provided with an array pressure sensor, and the upper surface of the array pressure sensor is provided with an upper cushion body.

[0007] The air inlet of the air pump is connected to the air, the air outlet of the air pump is connected to the air inlet pipe of the solenoid valve, the air outlet of the solenoid valve is connected to one end of the inflation tube, and the other end of the inflation tube is connected to the airbag. An air pressure sensor is provided on the inflation tube, and the array pressure sensor, air pump, solenoid valve and air pressure sensor are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0008] The positive progressive effect of the present invention is that the present invention simulates different standing surface hardness scenarios by allowing the patient to stand on an inflatable intelligent balance cushion, so that the patient can gradually adapt to vestibular rehabilitation training with different hardness, and then continuously train to improve the patient's balance ability, thereby promoting the recovery of the patient's vestibular system function. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] Figure 1-2 This is a structural diagram of a vestibular rehabilitation training intelligent balance mat according to a preferred embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0011] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a vestibular rehabilitation training intelligent balance mat, which includes an airbag 1, a lower cushion body 2, an upper cushion body 3, an array pressure sensor 4, a base plate 5, a control box 6, an air pump 7, a solenoid valve 8, an air pressure sensor 9, an inflation tube 10, a controller 11, a sensor cable 12 and a power supply 13.

[0012] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the airbag 1 is fixed with a lower cushion 2 and an upper cushion 3, sequentially fixed from bottom to top. An array pressure sensor 4 is positioned between the lower cushion 2 and the upper cushion 3. The upper surface of the airbag 1 is fixedly connected to the lower cushion 2, on which the array pressure sensor 4 is positioned. The upper cushion 3 is positioned on the upper surface of the array pressure sensor 4, and the lower and upper cushions 3 are fixedly connected. The airbag 1 is a highly elastic airbag 1, and its lower surface is a hard bottom surface. The intelligent balance cushion also includes a base plate 5, the hard bottom surface of the airbag 1 being fixed to the upper surface of the base plate 5.

[0013] In this embodiment, the intelligent balance cushion includes a control box 6 that is separate from the airbag 1. An air pump 7, a solenoid valve 8, an air pressure sensor 9, a controller 11, and a power supply 13 are all fixedly mounted within the control box 6. The air inlet of the air pump 7 is connected to the air, and the air outlet of the air pump 7 is connected to the air inlet pipe of the solenoid valve 8. The air outlet of the solenoid valve 8 is connected to one end of an inflation tube 10. The other end of the inflation tube 10 passes through the control box 6 and is connected to the airbag 1. The inflation tube 10 is provided with an air pressure sensor 9.

[0014] In this embodiment, the array pressure sensor 4 is connected to the controller 11 via sensor cable 12 running through the control box 6. The air pump 7, solenoid valve 8, and air pressure sensor 9 are all electrically connected to the controller 11. The intelligent balance mat also includes a power supply 13, which is electrically connected to the controller 11 and provides power to the various electronic components.

[0015] The controller 11 uses an STM32 series single-chip microcomputer. According to the function of each port pin of the STM32 series single-chip microcomputer, it is a conventional setting for technicians in this field to determine which specific port pin of the STM32 series single-chip microcomputer is electrically connected to each electronic component (array pressure sensor 4, air pump 7, solenoid valve 8 and air pressure sensor 9).

[0016] The array pressure sensor 4, air pump 7, solenoid valve 8, air pressure sensor 9 and controller 11 selected in this embodiment according to actual needs are all existing commercial products. No improvements have been made to their structures and they are all existing structures. Therefore, the specific structures, circuit designs and working principles of the array pressure sensor 4, air pump 7, solenoid valve 8, air pressure sensor 9 and controller 11 are all publicly available existing technologies. The specification only uses these electronic devices to achieve certain functions. There is no need to describe in detail the specific structures, circuit designs and working principles of these existing electronic devices, and the entire solution is also clear.

[0017] The usage process of the vestibular rehabilitation training intelligent balance cushion is as follows: a control panel can be set on the surface of the control box 6, and the inflation volume of the airbag 1 is set using the control panel. After that, the controller 11 controls the air pump 7 to start working, and at the same time controls the solenoid valve 8 to be turned on. The air extracted by the air pump 7 is pumped into the interior of the airbag 1 through the inflation tube 10 to inflate the airbag 1. During the inflation process, the air pressure sensor 9 monitors the inflation volume in the airbag 1. When the monitored inflation volume reaches the set inflation volume, the controller 11 controls the air pump 7 to stop inflation, and at the same time controls the solenoid valve 8 to be disconnected.

[0018] The patient then stands on the upper cushion 3 of the smart balance mat. The array pressure sensor 4 collects the patient's pressure matrix signals in real time and transmits them to the controller 11 in chronological order via the sensor cable 12. Standing on the smart balance mat, the patient continuously utilizes the vestibular system to coordinate the balance and posture of the entire body in order to maintain balance, thereby achieving vestibular rehabilitation training.

[0019] In this embodiment, the hardness of the standing surface of the intelligent balance cushion is achieved by controlling the inflation amount in the airbag 1, and the different hardness of the standing surface is used to train the patient's balance ability, thereby promoting the recovery of the patient's vestibular system function.

[0020] The utility model simulates different standing surface hardness scenarios by having the patient stand on an inflatable intelligent balance cushion, so that the patient can gradually adapt to vestibular rehabilitation training with different hardnesses, and then continuously train to improve the patient's balance ability, thereby promoting the recovery of the patient's vestibular system function.

[0021] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art will appreciate that these are merely illustrative and that the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, and such changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
