Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wearable device technology, specifically to a watch strap and an electrical stimulation tremor therapy device. Background Technology

[0002] Wearable transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) is a non-invasive treatment for essential tremor. It is a wearable device worn on the wrist that stimulates the median and radial nerves in the wrist. Through the transcutaneous nerve afferent pathway, it can stimulate the target point of the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) of the thalamus. It is also known as an external upper limb tremor stimulator and is used to treat essential tremor or Parkinson's tremor.

[0003] In the related technology, the watch strap is installed on the main unit of the treatment device, while the electrode assembly is installed on the main unit of the treatment device. When the watch strap is swung, it is easy for the watch strap to pull the wires of the electrode assembly, causing damage or detachment of the motor assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as damage or detachment, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a watch strap that prevents detachment and an electrical stimulation tremor therapy device.

[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a watch strap, including: a watch strap body;

[0007] A circuit board, mounted on the main body of the watchband, is used for signal transmission;

[0008] An electrode assembly, mounted on the main body of the watchband, is used to receive signals transmitted from the circuit board and output electrical stimulation;

[0009] A fixing component is installed on the watch strap body for fixing the circuit board and the electrode assembly.

[0010] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly includes a plurality of electrode sheets, a rubber electrode, and a connecting wire;

[0011] The rubber electrode is covered on the electrode sheet; the connecting wire connects two adjacent electrode sheets;

[0012] When the circuit board outputs a signal, it controls the electrode pads to work via connecting wires, and the electrode pads stimulate the median nerve and radial nerve in the wrist.

[0013] In some embodiments, the fixing component includes a fixing piece and a clearance hole provided on the fixing piece;

[0014] The electrode assembly and the circuit board are located between the watch strap body and the fixing plate. The fixing plate and the watch strap are bonded together with adhesive. The rubber electrode protrudes outward through the clearance hole.

[0015] In some embodiments, the watchband further includes a battery mounted on the watchband body and providing output power to the electrode plates via a circuit board.

[0016] In some embodiments, the fixing piece is made of a flexible material, and the battery is a flexible battery.

[0017] In some embodiments, the watch strap further includes a connecting component; the connecting component is used to secure the fixing component to the watch strap body;

[0018] The connection component includes a first mounting component and a second mounting component;

[0019] The first mounting component and the second mounting component are used to fix the fixing component to the watch strap body;

[0020] When the first mounting component secures the fixing component to the watch strap body, the first mounting component ensures that the fixing component and the watch strap body do not move away from each other. When the second mounting component secures the fixing component to the watch strap body, the second mounting component ensures that the fixing component and the watch strap body do not translate relative to each other.

[0021] In some embodiments, the first mounting components are in multiple groups, and each group of the first mounting components includes a track and a slider;

[0022] The track is mounted on the watch strap body, and the slider is mounted on the fixing component; the fixing component is mounted on the watch strap body via the slider and the track; the slider and the track prevent the fixing component from moving away from the watch strap body.

[0023] In some embodiments, the second mounting components are in multiple groups, and each group of the second mounting components includes a first magnet and a second magnet;

[0024] The first magnet is installed on the main body of the watch strap, and the second magnet is installed on the fixing component. After the slider is fixed to the track, the fixing component is attracted by the first magnet and the second magnet, so that the fixing component and the main body of the watch strap will not move relative to each other.

[0025] In some embodiments, the main body of the watch strap is provided with a textured Velcro strap and a hook-and-loop Velcro strap.

[0026] The hook and loop fasteners are used for adjusting the tightness and securing the watch strap.

[0027] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an electrical stimulation tremor therapy device, including a therapy device control panel and a watch strap;

[0028] The electrical stimulation tremor therapy device also includes a fastening component and a slot located on the control panel of the therapy device. The watch strap is installed and fixed to the control panel of the therapy device via the fastening component and the slot.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by fixing the components to install the circuit board and electrode assembly on the watch strap, the electrode assembly and circuit board are not directly installed with the main unit of the treatment device, which can prevent the main unit of the treatment device and the watch strap from swinging and pulling the circuit board and causing the electrode assembly to fall off.

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0046] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0047] For ease of description of the first, second, and third directions in the embodiments of this application, the first direction is the left-right direction in the figures, the second direction is the front-back direction in the figures, and the third direction is the up-down direction in the figures. The x-axis arrow direction is referred to as the "right" direction, the y-axis arrow direction as the "up" direction, and the z-axis arrow direction as the "back" direction, but these are not the sole limitations in the actual application of this application.

[0048] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a watchband, which includes a watchband body 110, a circuit board 120, an electrode assembly 130, and a fixing assembly 140. The circuit board 120 is mounted on the watchband body 110 for signal transmission; the electrode assembly 130 is mounted on the watchband body 110 for receiving signals transmitted by the circuit board 120 and outputting electrical stimulation; the fixing assembly 140 is mounted on the watchband body 110 for fixing the circuit board 120 and the electrode assembly 130. In other words, the circuit board 120 and the electrode assembly 130 are mounted on the watchband via the fixing assembly 140, and the circuit board 120 outputs signals to activate the electrode assembly 130. The electrode assembly 130 uses electrical stimulation to stimulate the median and radial nerves of the wrist, effectively providing electrical stimulation therapy to the patient.

[0049] like Figure 2-3As shown, in this embodiment, the electrode assembly 130 includes multiple electrode pads 131, rubber electrodes 132, and connecting wires 133. The rubber electrodes 132 cover the electrode pads 131. The connecting wires 133 connect adjacent electrode pads 131. When the circuit board 120 outputs a signal, the output signal controls the electrode pads 131 to operate via the connecting wires 133, stimulating the median and radial nerves of the wrist. The use of rubber electrodes 132 to cover the electrode pads 131 also covers the connection point between the connecting wires 133 and the electrode pads 131. This covering prevents the electrode pads 131 from detaching or making poor contact with the connecting wires 133 when the main body 110 of the watch strap deforms. The rubber design of the rubber electrodes 132 provides elasticity, allowing them to fully contact the skin during operation and ensuring the stability of the electrical stimulation during treatment.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing component 140 includes a fixing piece 141 and a clearance hole 142 provided on the fixing piece 141. The electrode assembly 130 and the circuit board 120 are located between the watch strap body 110 and the fixing piece 141, and the rubber electrode 132 protrudes outward through the clearance hole 142. By positioning the electrode assembly 130 and the circuit board 120 between the watch strap body 110 and the fixing piece 141, it is possible to prevent the electrode assembly 130 from detaching from the circuit board 120 during use or movement, and it can also reduce unnecessary contact between the circuit board 120 and the connecting wire 133 and the skin; while by having the rubber electrode 132 protrude through the clearance hole 142, it is possible for the rubber electrode 132 to make better contact with the skin, and when the electrode piece 131 is working, it achieves an effective electrical stimulation effect.

[0051] In this embodiment, the watchband 100 also includes a battery 160, which is installed in the watchband body 110 and provides output power to the electrode pads 131 via the circuit board 120. The battery 160 is located between the watchband body 110 and the fixing component 140. By adding the battery 160, that is, by adding an extra power source, the battery life can be increased, ensuring stable electrical stimulation therapy for a long time.

[0052] In this embodiment, the fixing piece 141 is made of a flexible material, and the battery 160 is a flexible battery. The fixing piece 141 is made of flexible materials such as silicone, rubber, nylon fiber, TPE, and TPU. Flexible materials can facilitate contact with the skin while maintaining comfort. The battery 160 is made of flexible batteries such as polymer flexible batteries, flexible fiber batteries, and flexible lithium batteries. When the watch strap fits against the wrist, the flexible battery does not generate resistance and also reduces the space occupied.

[0053] In one embodiment, the retaining piece 141 is bonded to the watch strap body 110 with adhesive. Using adhesive bonding prevents the connecting wire 133 and the circuit board 120 from contacting the skin.

[0054] In another embodiment, such as Figure 4 as well as Figure 7-9 As shown, the watch strap 100 also includes a connecting component 150; the connecting component 150 is used to fix the fixing component 140 to the watch strap body 110; the connecting component 150 includes a first mounting component 151 and a second mounting component 152. The first mounting component 151 and the second mounting component 152 are used to fix the fixing component 140 to the watch strap body 110; when the first mounting component 151 fixes the fixing component 140 to the watch strap body 110, the first mounting component 151 ensures that the fixing component 140 and the watch strap body 110 will not move away from each other; when the second mounting component 152 fixes the fixing component 140 to the watch strap body 110, the second mounting component 152 ensures that the fixing component 140 and the watch strap body 110 will not move away from each other. That is to say, by using the first mounting component 151 to ensure that the fixing component 140 and the watch strap body 110 will not move away from each other, and by using the second mounting component 152 to ensure that the fixing component 140 and the watch strap body 110 will not move away from each other, the fixing component 140 and the watch strap body 110 are stably fixed.

[0055] In another embodiment, such as Figure 7-9 As shown, there are multiple sets of first mounting components 151, each set including a track 51a and a slider 51b. The track 51a is mounted on the watch strap body 110, and the slider 51b is mounted on the fixing component 140; the fixing component 140 is mounted on the watch strap body 110 via the slider 51b and the track 51a; the slider 51b and the track 51a prevent the fixing component 140 from moving away from the watch strap body 110. That is, the track 51a is fixedly mounted on the watch strap body 110 and placed laterally along the watch strap body 110, and the slider 51b can only slide along the track 51a, so that the watch strap body 110 and the fixing component 140 do not move away from each other, preventing the fixing component 140 from easily detaching from the watch strap body.

[0056] The second mounting assembly 152 comprises multiple sets, each set including a first magnet 52a and a second magnet 52b. The first magnet 52a is mounted on the watch strap body 110, and the second magnet 52b is mounted on the fixing assembly 140. After the slider 51b is fixedly mounted to the track 51a, the fixing assembly 140 is attracted by the first magnet 52a and the second magnet 52b, preventing the fixing assembly 140 from shifting relative to the watch strap body 110. In other words, after the fixing assembly 140 is mounted by the slider 51b and the track 51a, the corresponding first magnet 52a attracts the corresponding second magnet 52b, preventing the slider 51b from sliding along the track 51a, and the fixing assembly 140 from easily detaching from the watch strap body 110.

[0057] By using the first mounting component 151 and the second mounting component 152 together, the watch strap body 110 and the fixing component 140 will not be easily separated. In the event of a short circuit or damage to the connecting wire 133 and the electrode plate 131, the electrode component 130 can be removed simply by separating the first mounting component 151 and the second mounting component 152. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the watch strap body 110 is provided with a loop fastener 210 and a hook fastener 220. The loop fastener 210 and the hook fastener 220 are used to adjust the tightness and fix the watch strap body 110. That is, when the watch strap body 110 is worn on the arm, the hook fastener 220 and the loop fastener 210 adhere to each other, so that the watch strap body 110 does not come off the arm.

[0059] like Figure 1-2 as well as Figure 4-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an electrical stimulation tremor therapy device, including a therapy device control panel 230 and a watch strap 100. The electrical stimulation tremor therapy device also includes a fastening component 240 and a slot 250 provided in the therapy device control panel 230. The watch strap is installed and fixed to the therapy device control panel 230 via the fastening component 240 and the slot 250. The use of the fastening component 240 and the slot 250 is equivalent to using a snap fastener for installation, which allows for quick installation of the therapy device control panel 230 and the watch strap.

[0060] The control panel 230 of the therapeutic instrument is also provided with a connection port 260 of the circuit board 120. When the control panel 230 of the therapeutic instrument is installed with the main body 110 of the watch strap, the connection port 260 connects the control panel 230 of the therapeutic instrument to the circuit board 120. The control panel 230 of the therapeutic instrument is used to control the electrical stimulation.

[0061] In summary, this utility model provides a watch strap and an electrical stimulation tremor therapy device. By fixing the circuit board and electrode assembly on the watch strap, the electrode assembly and circuit board are not directly installed on the main unit of the therapy device, which can prevent the electrode assembly from falling off due to the mutual swinging of the main unit of the therapy device and the watch strap pulling the circuit board.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
