Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electronic devices, specifically relating to an electroencephalogram (EEG) recording box and a dynamic EEG system. Background Technology
[0002] Ambulatory EEG (AEEG) is a portable technology for continuous long-term monitoring of brain activity. It typically collects brain signals during patients’ free-movement states in their daily environment (such as at home, at work, or while sleeping). Therefore, the recording device for ambulatory EEG must be both portable and have stable battery life for long-term continuous monitoring.
[0003] Because dynamic EEG recording devices typically require circuit boards, battery compartments, multiple electrode acquisition channels, displays, and interfaces for power supply and communication, existing recording devices in this field are not only large in size and have a small number of acquisition channels, but also have short battery life and cumbersome battery replacement operations, failing to meet the demand for lightweight and portable devices for long-term clinical EEG monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0009] Furthermore, the cover plate locking hook is set downward and bent to form a locking groove facing the horizontal direction; when the battery compartment cover plate is locked with the bottom cover, the locking member is engaged in the locking groove; when the battery compartment cover plate is unlocked from the bottom cover, the locking member leaves the locking groove and is in the sliding space.
[0010] Furthermore, the locking component also includes: a spring plunger located on the slider; a plunger engaging portion located on the battery compartment cover; a first groove and a second groove located sequentially on the plunger engaging portion; wherein, when the battery compartment cover is locked to the bottom cover, the top ball of the spring plunger is located in the first groove; when the battery compartment cover is unlocked from the bottom cover, the top ball of the spring plunger is located in the second groove.
