[0027] Example 1
[0028] Please see Figure 1-5A hand joint mobility trainer includes a glove body 1 and a positioning component. The positioning component is located at the top of the glove body 1. The glove body 1 has a wearing cavity 11 inside. The top of the wearing cavity 11 is provided with a finger shell 2. A connecting shaft 23 is installed at the connection between adjacent finger shells 2. The wearing cavity 11 of the glove body 1 is specially designed for the hand, which can fit the user's hand closely, provide a comfortable wearing experience, reduce the discomfort caused by long-term training, allow the user to focus more on the training process, and improve training compliance.
[0029] The finger shell 2 is designed to simulate the natural structure of the finger. The relative rotation between the finger shells 2 is achieved through the connecting shaft 23 at the connection point of adjacent finger shells 2, which accurately simulates the movement of the finger joint. This design helps users to conduct natural and realistic hand joint activity training, improves the training effect, makes the training more in line with the actual hand movement needs, and promotes the recovery or strengthening of hand joint function.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, a locking groove 21 is provided at the bottom of the finger housing 2, and a locking shaft 22 connected to the locking groove 21 is provided on the inner side of the finger housing 2. An adhesive patch 9 is provided on the inner side of the outermost finger housing 2, which can be used to attach some small parts or labels for auxiliary training.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, a finger sleeve 8 is installed at the bottom of the finger housing 2. Both sides of the bottom of the finger sleeve 8 are provided with locking blocks 81. The locking blocks 81 can be inserted into the inside of the locking groove 21. The side of the locking blocks 81 is provided with locking holes 82 that are fixed to the locking shaft 22. A sponge pad 83 is provided on the inside of the finger sleeve 8 to enhance the user's comfort.
[0032] It should be noted that the engaging groove 21 at the bottom of the finger housing 2 and the engaging shaft 22 connected to the engaging groove 21 on the inner side provide a convenient engaging structure for the installation of the finger sleeve 8. This design makes the installation and disassembly of components easier, and users can quickly replace components of different specifications or functions as needed to meet diverse training needs.
[0033] A metal plate 3 is provided on the top of the finger shell 2. A sleeve 31 is fixedly installed on the outside of the metal plate 3. A sleeve groove 32 is provided on the inside of the sleeve 31. A counterweight 33 is provided on the inside of the sleeve groove 32. By adding or removing the weight of the counterweight 33 in the sleeve groove 32, the resistance during finger movement can be adjusted to achieve training of different intensities.
[0034] The bottom of the glove body 1 is equipped with a display screen 12, which, by being equipped with a relevant WiFi module and sensors, can be used to display relevant data during the training process, such as training time, number of activities, and range of motion of joints, so that users can understand the training status in real time.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] Please see Figure 1 , 6 The positioning component employs two positioning methods: a positioning clamp 6 and a suction cup 7. The positioning component includes a central shaft 4. A base is located on the top of the glove body 1, and the central shaft 4 is fixedly installed inside the base. A threaded shaft 56 is threaded onto the top of the central shaft 4, and a suction cup 7 is fixedly installed on the top of the threaded shaft 56. By rotating the threaded shaft 56, the suction cup 7 can be quickly removed or installed. The suction cup 7 is suitable for smooth surfaces such as glass and metal plates, fixing the glove body 1 to the object for direct force application to the fingers. Positioning components are located on the left and right sides of the central shaft 4. There is a common positioning plate 5, and a corresponding positioning clamp 6 is slidably installed on the top of the positioning plate 5. The positioning clamp 6 is slidably installed on the positioning plate 5 and can clamp and position regular or irregular objects of different shapes and sizes. For example, for objects with a certain outline such as squares and cylinders, the positioning clamp 6 can clamp from both sides to ensure the stability of the object during training. Users can flexibly choose to use the positioning clamp 6 or the suction cup 7, or even use both in combination, according to the training scenario and the characteristics of the target object, which greatly improves the adaptability of the trainer to different objects.
[0037] The top surface of the positioning plate 5 has sliding grooves 51 located on both sides of the central axis 4. The positioning clamp 6 is slidably installed on the top of the sliding grooves 51. The bottom end of the positioning clamp 6 is fixedly installed with a connecting rod 52 located inside the positioning plate 5. The inner sides of the two connecting rods 52 are each provided with a through groove 53. The inner side of the positioning plate 5 is fixedly installed with a transverse fixed slide rod 54, which is sleeved with the through groove 53. The user can easily adjust the distance between the positioning clamps 6 by manually pushing them to accommodate objects of different sizes and quickly achieve object positioning. The design of the sliding slot and fixed slide bar 54 improves training efficiency and provides precise guidance for the sliding of the positioning clamp 6, ensuring that the positioning clamp 6 maintains linear motion during movement, avoiding deviation or shaking, and ensuring positioning accuracy. The outer surface of the fixed slide bar 54 is fitted with a spring 55 located outside the through slot 53. Through the elastic force of the spring 55, the two positioning clamps 6 can maintain a relatively stable position when no external force is applied, and can also slide relative to each other under the action of external force to adapt to the positioning needs of objects of different sizes or shapes.
[0038] It should be noted that the connecting rod 52 at the bottom of the positioning clamp 6 is connected to the fixed slide rod 54 on the inner side of the positioning plate 5 through the through groove 53, and a spring 55 is sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed slide rod 54. When the positioning clamp 6 moves to both sides to clamp the object, the spring 55 is compressed and generates elastic force. This elastic force enables the positioning clamp to clamp the object tightly and provide a stable clamping force. Even if there is a large range of hand movements during training, the object can be firmly clamped by the positioning clamp and will not easily fall off, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of training.
[0039] How to use
[0040] The user inserts their hand into the wearing cavity 11 of the glove body 1, ensuring that the fingers correspond between the finger shell 2 and the finger sleeve 8.
[0041] According to training requirements, a counterweight 33 of appropriate mass is placed in the groove 32 of the metal plate 3.
[0042] If positioning training for a specific object is required, the position of the positioning clamp 6 can be adjusted to clamp the object, or the object can be attracted by the suction cup 7.
[0043] Begin hand joint mobility training, using the bending and stretching of the fingers to move the finger shell 2 and finger sleeve 8.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
