Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation equipment technology, and in particular to a voice-activated hand function trainer. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in hand health rehabilitation training, the flexible exoskeleton devices on the market are mainly composed of flexible fluid actuators, such as pneumatic actuators made of silicone. Flexible structures have higher safety and comfort. Due to the flexibility of their own structure, when a collision or system interference occurs, resulting in a sudden unexpected load, the flexible structure can buffer the unexpected load and will not cause harm to the patient.
[0003] However, existing rehabilitation glove trainers only allow manual adjustment of training modes. For individuals with injuries to both hands, assistance from others is generally required to operate the trainer, which is not only wasteful of manpower but also inconvenient to use if no one is home or nearby. In addition, typical rehabilitation glove trainers simply move the patient's hands without maintaining a warm environment, which is beneficial for the rapid recovery of the patient's hands, which are usually in a stiff state. Furthermore, the gloves in existing rehabilitation glove trainers tend to fall off after prolonged use, affecting the training effect and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0038] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. The present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-5 An embodiment of this utility model provides a voice-activated hand function trainer, including a glove body 1, a control mechanism, a bellows assembly 2, a heating assembly, a voice assembly, and a reinforcement assembly; the glove body 1 is connected to the control mechanism through the bellows assembly 2, the heating assembly, etc., to realize the functions of training and heating the patient's hand;
[0040] The control mechanism includes a housing 4, inside which a controller 6 and a power component connected to an air pressure hose 3 are fixedly installed; a display screen 7 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the housing 4 to display training modes and parameters.
[0041] The bellows assembly 2 is fixedly installed on the outside of the finger sleeve portion of the glove body 1. One end of the bellows assembly 2 is sealed and connected to a pneumatic hose 3. The end of the pneumatic hose 3 away from the bellows assembly 2 is connected to the power component 5 in the control mechanism (the connection between the pneumatic hose 3 and the power component 5 can be made through a plug and socket). The power component 5 is connected to the controller 6. This is prior art, and its working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment. During operation, the controller 6 can control the power component 5 to input or output gas into the pneumatic hose 3, thereby driving the bellows assembly 2 to bend and deform. The bellows assembly 2 will drive the corresponding finger sleeve portion on the glove body 1 to bend and extend, thereby assisting the patient in rehabilitation training.
[0042] The main body of the glove 1 is made of soft fabric and is designed as a double layer, specifically consisting of an outer layer 101 and an inner layer 102. The connection between the outer layer 101 and the inner layer 102 is preferably made by sewing to improve the structural strength of the finished product. The inner layer 102 is preferably made of fleece to improve the comfort of the patient when wearing it.
[0043] A heating element is disposed between the outer fabric 101 and the inner fabric 102 and is connected to the control mechanism to increase the temperature of the patient's hand.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the heating assembly includes a heating wire 8, a voltage regulator 9, and a temperature sensor 10; wherein,
[0045] The voltage regulator 9 can be an electric voltage regulator, which is fixedly installed inside the housing 4 on one side of the controller 6, and the voltage regulator 9 is electrically connected to the controller 6 through a wire.
[0046] The principle of voltage regulator 9 is to maintain a stable output voltage by adjusting the voltage in the circuit; voltage regulator 9 is usually composed of components such as Zener diode, resistor, and capacitor.
[0047] The heating wire 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the outer fabric 101 near the inner fabric 102; one heating wire 8 is provided, and the heating wire 8 is arranged in an S-shape at the palm and finger sleeve positions of the glove body 1; the two ends of the heating wire 8 are electrically connected to the voltage regulator 9 through wires.
[0048] Temperature sensor 10 is fixedly installed on the palm side of the outer fabric 101 near the inner fabric 102, and is used to detect the ambient temperature inside the glove body 1. Temperature sensor 10 is electrically connected to controller 6 through wires.
[0049] Specifically, a suitable voltage regulator 9 is selected based on the power and voltage requirements of the heating wire 8. The output terminal of the voltage regulator 9 is connected to both ends of the heating wire 8. Then, the control terminal of the voltage regulator 9 is connected to the controller 6 via a wire, so that the controller 6 can control the output voltage and current of the voltage regulator 9, thereby controlling the heating power of the heating wire 8. The temperature sensor 10 monitors the ambient temperature inside the glove body 1. When the ambient temperature inside the glove body 1 is higher than the set threshold, the signal is transmitted to the controller 6. The controller 6 controls the voltage regulator 9 to adjust the output voltage value, thereby adjusting the output current. According to Joule's law, the heat generation of the heating wire 8 is positively correlated with the heating power; the higher the current, the higher the heat generation, thus allowing control over the amount of heat generated.
[0050] A voice component, connected to the control mechanism, includes a voice recognition module 11, a microphone 12, and a speaker 13, for enabling voice interaction;
[0051] The speech recognition module 11 is a module based on embedded speech recognition technology. It mainly includes a speech recognition chip and some other auxiliary circuits. It can easily communicate with the main control chip. Its goal is to convert the vocabulary content in human speech into computer-readable input, such as key presses, binary codes, or character sequences, to achieve the purpose of voice interaction.
[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the voice recognition module 11 is fixedly disposed inside the housing 4 on one side of the controller 6, and is used to realize voice interaction; the voice recognition module 11 and the controller 6 are electrically connected by wires.
[0053] In a preferred embodiment, both the microphone 12 and the speaker 13 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the housing 4; the microphone 12 is electrically connected to the voice recognition module 11 via a wire; and the speaker 13 is electrically connected to the voice recognition module 11 via a wire.
[0054] Among them, reference Figure 5 The system block diagram for the voice component shows that the voice recognition module 11 is a Syn731, which is connected to the controller 6 via a UART interface. The speaker 13 is electrically connected to the Syn731 voice recognition module 11 and is equipped with a power amplifier. The microphone 12 is electrically connected to the microphone interface of the Syn731 voice recognition module 11.
[0055] A reinforcing component is provided on the glove body 1 to improve the stability of the glove body 1 after it is worn;
[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcement assembly includes a first fixing strap 14, a second fixing strap 15, and a strip elastic band 16; wherein,
[0057] The first fixing strap 14 is fixedly set on the bottom of the glove body 1 near the thumb side, and the first Velcro side 17 is fixedly set on the side of the first fixing strap 14 near the back of the hand.
[0058] The second fixing strap 15 is fixedly set on the bottom of the glove body 1 near the little finger. The first hook and loop female side 18 is fixedly set on the side of the second fixing strap 15 near the palm, and the second hook and loop female side 19 is fixedly set on the side of the second fixing strap 15 near the back of the hand.
[0059] A strip elastic band 16 is fixedly set on the glove body 1 between the first fixing band 14 and the thumb. A second Velcro female side 20 is fixedly set on the side of the strip elastic band 16 near the palm.
[0060] The first hook and loop fastener side 17 and the first hook and loop fastener side 18 cooperate to fix the first fastening strap 14 and the second fastening strap 15; the second hook and loop fastener side 19 and the second hook and loop fastener side 20 cooperate to fix the strip elastic band 16 onto the second fastening strap 15.
[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the heating wires 8 located at the finger sleeve position of the outer fabric 101 are arranged in two rows in an S-shape, and the S-shape distribution in each row is relatively dense. Therefore, when the finger is bent, the degree of bending of the heating wires 8 can be reduced, and the service life of the heating wires 8 can be extended.
[0062] The working principle of this utility model:
[0063] When in use, the glove body 1 is put on the patient's hand, and then the first fixing strap 14 is folded inward toward the palm. Then the second fixing strap 15 is folded inward toward the palm and pressed onto the first fixing strap 14. At this time, the first Velcro face 17 and the first Velcro face 18 cooperate to lock and fix the first fixing strap 14 and the second fixing strap 15, completing the initial fixation of the glove body 1 on the patient's hand. Then the strip elastic band 16 is pressed onto the second fixing strap 15. At this time, the second Velcro face 19 and the second Velcro face 20 cooperate to fix the strip elastic band 16 onto the second fixing strap 15, further improving the stability of the glove body 1 after wearing and reducing the probability of the glove body 1 coming loose due to training.
[0064] Then, when the power is turned on, the patient issues a voice command, and the microphone 12 transmits the voice to the voice recognition module 11, which is to make audio input. The voice recognition module 11 converts the voice data collected from the microphone 12 into the corresponding recognition result through the internal recognition module, and sends it back to the controller 6 through the communication interface.
[0065] The controller 6 controls the output of the power component 5, thereby controlling the bending and stretching of the bellows component 2 to achieve hand training; at the same time, the controller 6 transmits the result of controlling the output of the power component 5 to the voice recognition module 11, and the voice recognition module 11 amplifies the output result through the speaker 13.
[0066] The controller 6 controls the heating wire 8 to heat the glove body 1. The temperature sensor 10 monitors the ambient temperature inside the glove body 1. When the temperature exceeds the set threshold, the sensor transmits the signal to the controller 6. The controller 6 then controls the output current of the voltage regulator 9 so that the heat generated by the heating wire 8 is within the set range, thereby heating the patient's hand. This allows for hand exercise while simultaneously heating the hand, improving blood circulation, and achieving the purpose of reducing inflammation, swelling, and pain.
