Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical rehabilitation, and in particular to a connector for wearable rehabilitation devices. Background Technology
[0002] Connectors for wearable rehabilitation equipment are mainly used to connect various components and electronic parts of the equipment to the main body. Their functions are as follows: First, they ensure mechanical connections, withstanding the forces generated by human movement to ensure stable connections between equipment components and guarantee connection accuracy to optimize rehabilitation training effects. Second, they enable signal transmission, accurately transmitting monitoring and control signals such as bioelectrical signals, for example, transmitting electromyographic signals to the prosthesis control circuitry. Third, they enhance protective performance; connectors can be waterproof, dustproof, and anti-interference, protecting the internal circuits and components of the equipment, optimizing the patient experience, and improving patient adherence to rehabilitation treatment.
[0003] Existing wearable home or medical active rehabilitation devices mainly use two types of power connection methods: Type-C direct plug and magnetic connector. The Type-C direct plug structure has a Type-C female socket on the device side and a universal or special Type-C plug at the input end. When in use, the Type-C plug is inserted into the female socket to supply power and transmit control signals. The magnetic connector structure generally has an electrode base with a magnetic ring or magnetic post on the device side and a contact with a pogopin spring electrode and ferromagnetic material at the input end. When in use, the ferromagnetic material of the contact will attract the electrode base with the magnetic ring or magnetic post to establish a connection and transmit power and signals. Both of the above connector types share a common drawback: unreliable connections. The friction of the Type-C plug and socket is limited, as are the magnetic contacts and magnetic bases. While this connection method works fine on general fixed therapeutic devices, it is prone to loosening and failure when used in wearable active rehabilitation devices. This can easily lead to device damage, treatment failure, and personal injury, regardless of whether the user is sitting, lying down, turning over, or moving around. This reduces the device's practicality. Therefore, a connector for wearable rehabilitation devices is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
