Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical assistive device technology and relates to a training tool for tactile disorders. Background Technology

[0002] In child development, the development of tactile perception is crucial for overall sensory integration, emotional communication, and social interaction. However, children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience varying degrees of tactile sensitivity or insensitivity, which may manifest as hypersensitivity or underresponsiveness to certain textures, temperatures, or pressures, thus impacting their daily living and social skills development. Early intervention and specially designed training tools are particularly important in addressing these challenges.

[0003] Traditional tactile training methods typically rely on direct interpersonal interaction, using touch and massage to help children establish normal tactile experiences. However, due to the unique behavioral patterns of children with autism, they often exhibit strong resistance to new or unfamiliar experiences, making them less willing to cooperate during tactile training. Therefore, parents and therapists often seek to use assistive tools for tactile training. For example, among the tactile training aids available on the market, massage balls with a textured surface are quite common. By rolling these textured massage balls on the child's skin, the aim is to provide diverse tactile stimulation and stimulate the child's sensory responses.

[0004] Although this method can achieve the desired effect to some extent, it is not easy to control the movement of the massage ball in actual operation. Furthermore, these massage balls have a single function, only providing mechanical tactile feedback and cannot combine temperature changes to provide comprehensive sensory stimulation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tactile disorder training tool that adds a handle for easier control of movement and can also combine temperature changes for comprehensive sensory stimulation.

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a tactile impairment training tool, comprising a hollow handle, one end of which is connected to an outward-opening U-shaped connector. A roller shaft is rotatably connected inside the U-shaped connector. An electric heating layer is disposed on the outer periphery of the roller shaft. A detachable tactile sleeve is disposed outside the electric heating layer. The outer side of the tactile sleeve is made of a tactile material capable of providing tactile stimulation. An electric shaft rotatably connected to the roller shaft is disposed inward on the inner wall of the U-shaped connector. A rotating electric sleeve rotatably connected to and electrically connected to the electric shaft is disposed inward at one end of the roller shaft. The electric heating layer is electrically connected to the rotating electric sleeve. A temperature sensor for detecting the surface temperature of the tactile sleeve is disposed on the inner side of the U-shaped connector. A battery and an integrated circuit board are disposed inside the hollow handle. The electric shaft and the temperature sensor are both electrically connected to the integrated circuit board.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the device, select the desired tactile sleeve, put it on the electric heating layer, and complete the replacement of the tactile sleeve. When using the device, simply hold the hollow handle and push the roller to roll, so that the tactile sleeve can be rolled and massaged on the child's skin surface to stimulate the sense of touch. If it is necessary to combine temperature changes for sensory stimulation, control the power supply to the electric heating layer to heat the tactile sleeve. During the process, the temperature of the tactile sleeve is detected in real time by a temperature sensor, so that comprehensive sensory stimulation can be combined with temperature changes.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the roller shaft is any one of circular, elliptical or cylindrical shape.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the electric heating layer is a silicone electric heating plate.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the electric heating layer has an arc-shaped snap-fit ​​groove arranged along the length direction of the roller shaft, the tactile sleeve is cut into a sheet shape at the arc-shaped snap-fit ​​groove, and arc-shaped inserts that can be inserted into the arc-shaped snap-fit ​​groove are provided on both sides of the cut of the tactile sleeve.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a display screen electrically connected to the integrated circuit board is provided on the outer side of the hollow handle.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a charging port electrically connected to the battery is provided at the end of the hollow handle away from the U-shaped connector.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the temperature sensor is an infrared temperature sensor.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] Firstly, this utility model adds a hollow handle, which can be used to push the roller shaft to move for roller massage, making operation and control more convenient;

[0016] Secondly, this utility model also has a heating function. The electric heating layer can heat the tactile sleeve at low temperature, which can be combined with temperature changes to provide comprehensive sensory stimulation, resulting in better training effects.

[0017] Thirdly, the tactile sleeve of this utility model is replaceable and can be freely selected according to needs for personalized and precise training. Attached Figure Description
