Abstract

The present invention is a hand force detection device, which includes a main body, a first gripping part, a second gripping part, a first plate, an elastic element, and a pressure sensing element. The main body is composed of the first shell and the second shell, and a first accommodating space is formed inside to accommodate related components. The first gripping part and the second gripping part are respectively disposed at different openings of the main body to accommodate different gripping methods of a user. When the user applies force, the hand force generated can be transmitted to the first plate through the gripping part, and the elastic element will undergo elastic deformation, thereby acting on the pressure sensing element.

Claims

1. A hand force detection device, comprising: a main body comprising a first shell and a second shell, wherein the first shell and the second shell, when closed, form a first opening, a second opening and a third opening, and a first accommodating space is provided between the first shell and the second shell; a first gripping portion comprising a first gripping member, a first support member and a second support member, wherein the first gripping member has a first extension and a second extension extending downward at both ends, the first extension and the second extension being respectively inserted into the first opening and the second opening, one end of the first support member and the second support member being respectively inserted into the first extension and the second extension, and the other end of the first support member and the second support member being respectively inserted into a first support member and a second support member of the main body; and a second gripping portion comprising a second gripping member and a rod, wherein the second gripping member is inserted into the third opening, and the rod is disposed below the second gripping member; A first plate body is disposed within the first accommodating space and located below the rods. The first plate body includes a first plate member, a first support rod, and a second support rod. The first support rod is disposed below the first plate member, and the second support rod is disposed below the first support rod. An elastic member is wound around the outside of the first support rod and the second support rod, with one end of the elastic member abutting against the first plate member. A pressure sensing element is disposed below the elastic member, with the other end of the elastic member abutting against a body of the pressure sensing element. The body has a hole, and the second support rod is inserted into the hole.

2. The hand force detection device as described in claim 1, wherein the first support member and the second support member are located above the first plate, and a first gap is provided between the first support member and the second support member and the first plate.

3. The hand force detection device as described in claim 2, wherein a second gap is provided between the rod system and the first plate.

4. The hand force detection device as described in claim 3, wherein the first gap is greater than or equal to the second gap.

5. The hand force detection device as described in claim 1, wherein the main body further includes a second receiving space, the first receiving space being connected to the second receiving space.

6. The hand force detection device as described in claim 5, further comprising a control circuit board disposed within the second accommodating space, the control circuit board comprising a circuit board, a microcontroller unit and a momentum sensing element, the microcontroller unit and the momentum sensing element being disposed on the circuit board, the microcontroller unit being electrically connected to the momentum sensing element and the pressure sensing element.

7. The hand force detection device as described in claim 6, further comprising a power supply element disposed within the first accommodating space and located on one side of the pressure sensing element, the power supply element being electrically connected to the microcontroller unit and the momentum sensing element.

8. The hand force detection device as described in claim 1, wherein a first guide groove is provided on one side and / or the other side of the first extension and / or the second extension, and a first guide protrusion is provided on the first housing and / or the second housing, and the first guide groove is snapped into the first guide protrusion.

9. The hand force detection device as described in claim 8, wherein a second guide groove is provided on one side and / or the other side of the second gripper, and a second guide protrusion is provided on the first housing and / or the second housing, and the second guide groove is engaged with the second guide protrusion.

10. The hand force detection device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first grip portion further includes a first protrusion disposed on the outer side of one of the first grip members, the first protrusion being used to improve grip stability.

11. The hand force detection device as described in claim 1 or 10, wherein the second grip portion further includes a second protrusion disposed on the outer side of one of the second grip members, the second protrusion being used to improve grip stability.
