[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wearable devices, in particular to an electrode sleeve for a head-mounted energy chamber and the head-mounted energy chamber. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of technology, modern electronic devices are becoming increasingly portable, leading people to prefer carrying them around for easy access. Wearable devices are a popular example of this type of portable device. Wearable devices are more than just hardware; they leverage software support, data interaction, and cloud-based interactions to achieve powerful functionality, enabling real-time monitoring and impact on the user's body.
[0003] As a new type of wearable device, the head-mounted energy pod is worn on the user's head and uses transcranial direct current stimulation to intervene in the user's brain waves. Specifically, the head-mounted energy pod is equipped with at least two electrodes that contact the user's head skin, forming a pathway. When powered, a specific current flows through the area between the two electrodes, causing changes in the membrane potential of brain neurons, leading to depolarization and hyperpolarization of neurons, thus causing physical changes.
[0004] However, the electrode head of the existing head-mounted energy capsule has a relatively hard structure and a fixed shape, which presses against the user's skin when worn, easily causing discomfort.
[0005] Therefore, the existing technology still needs to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an electrode cover for a head-mounted energy capsule and a head-mounted energy capsule, aiming to solve the problem that the electrode head of the existing head-mounted energy capsule is uncomfortable to wear.

[0011] The fixing assembly is arranged on a side of the connecting sleeve away from the absorbent cloth block and is used for fastening the electrode head.
[0012] The electrode sleeve for the head-mounted energy cabin is provided with a fork on the connecting sleeve, one end of the fork extends to the side of the connecting sleeve connected to the absorbent cloth block, and the other end extends to the side of the connecting sleeve connected to the fixing assembly; wherein the width of the fork gradually increases in the direction away from the absorbent cloth block.
[0013] The electrode sleeve for the head-mounted energy cabin, wherein the fixing component includes an elastic band, a Velcro fleece surface and a Velcro hook surface, the elastic band is arranged around the edge of the connecting sleeve, one end of the elastic band is provided with the Velcro hook surface, and the other end is connected to the Velcro fleece surface, the Velcro fleece surface is fitted with the Velcro hook surface, and is used to tie the elastic band tightly to the electrode head.
[0014] In the electrode sleeve for the head-mounted energy cabin, the width of the Velcro fleece surface is smaller than the width of the Velcro hook surface.
[0015] In the electrode sleeve for the head-mounted energy cabin, the elastic band is a rubber band or an elastic band.
[0016] In the electrode sleeve for the head-mounted energy cabin, the thickness of the absorbent cloth piece is 0.3-0.6 mm.

[0031] In order to help those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, in one embodiment of the present utility model application, an electrode sleeve for a head-mounted energy cabin is disclosed, wherein the electrode sleeve is used on the electrode head 40 of the head-mounted energy cabin; wherein, the electrode sleeve includes an absorbent cloth block 10, a connecting sleeve 20 and a fixing assembly 30, wherein the absorbent cloth block 10 is covered on the end surface of the electrode head 40 and is used to soak the conductive liquid to conduct the electrode head 40; the connecting sleeve 20 is connected to the absorbent cloth block 10 and is arranged around the edge of the absorbent cloth block 10; the connecting sleeve 20 is arranged on the side of the absorbent cloth block 10 that contacts the electrode head 40 and is wrapped around the side of the electrode head 40; the fixing assembly 30 is arranged on the side of the connecting sleeve 20 away from the absorbent cloth block 10 and is used to tighten the electrode head 40.
[0033] The electrode head 40 disclosed in this embodiment is put on the electrode head 40 of the head-mounted energy cabin for use. The absorbent cloth block 10 can be soaked in a conductive liquid, such as saline. By soaking in the conductive liquid, the absorbent cloth block 10 is made conductive, so that one side of the absorbent cloth block 10 can be connected to the electrode head 40, and the other side of the absorbent cloth block 10 can be in contact with the skin of the user's head and also maintain conductivity. Therefore, after covering the absorbent cloth block 10, the circuit conductivity of the head-mounted energy cabin can still be maintained, and transcranial direct current intervention can be performed normally.
[0034] Without affecting the normal operation of the head-mounted energy cabin, the electrode head 40 is fastened to the electrode head 40 through the fixing component 30, so that the connecting sleeve 20 and the absorbent cloth block 10 remain stable, avoiding loosening or slipping during use, and improving the stability of the electrode sleeve during use.
[0035] In addition, the absorbent cloth piece 10 itself is made of cloth cut and woven, so it can be soaked in conductive liquid. It has a soft texture and has a good touch when in contact with the user's skin, which is conducive to improving the comfort of wearing.
[0036] As shown in Figure 1, as an implementation of this embodiment, a fork 21 is provided on the connecting sleeve 20, one end of the fork 21 extends to the side of the connecting sleeve 20 connected to the absorbent cloth block 10, and the other end extends to the side of the connecting sleeve 20 connected to the fixing assembly 30; wherein the width of the fork 21 gradually increases in the direction away from the absorbent cloth block 10.
[0037] The electrode sleeve disclosed in this embodiment is used on the electrode head 40 as an auxiliary material for the head-mounted energy cabin. When the user directly uses the electrode head 40 for current intervention stimulation, the electrode sleeve is not needed. During use, if the user feels uncomfortable with the contact between the electrode head 40 and the skin, the electrode sleeve can be put on.
[0038] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, during the assembly process, the connecting sleeve 20 of the electrode sleeve must be covered on the side wall of the electrode head 40. In order to reduce friction during the assembly process, a fork 21 is provided on the connecting sleeve 20. The connecting sleeve 20 can be slightly opened during assembly to facilitate the smooth installation of the electrode head 40. Then, when fixing, the connecting sleeve 20 can be tightened to shrink the fork 21, so that the connecting sleeve 20 is tightened on the side wall of the electrode head 40 and fits tightly, so that the absorbent cloth block 10 will not loosen, that is, it will not separate from the electrode head 40, thereby maintaining the circuit conduction during use and maintaining normal transcranial current intervention stimulation. Finally, it is tightened with the fixing component 30 to achieve the effect of firmly connecting the electrode head 40 and the electrode sleeve, so as to improve the stability of the head-mounted energy cabin.
[0039] In summary, in this embodiment, the fork opening 21 is provided on the connecting sleeve 20 to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the electrode sleeve and the electrode head 40 . Moreover, after assembly, the connecting sleeve 20 and the electrode head 40 are in close contact, thereby improving the connection stability.
[0040] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, as another implementation of this embodiment, the fixing component 30 is disclosed to include an elastic band 31, a Velcro surface 32 and a Velcro hook surface 33. The elastic band 31 is arranged around the edge of the connecting sleeve 20. One end of the elastic band 31 is provided with the Velcro hook surface 33, and the other end is connected to the Velcro surface 32. The Velcro surface 32 is fitted with the Velcro hook surface 33, and is used to tie the elastic band 31 tightly to the electrode head 40.
[0041] The fixing assembly 30 disclosed in this embodiment is connected to the connecting sleeve 20 and is used to tighten it to the electrode head 40, thereby achieving stability after the electrode sleeve and the electrode head 40 are assembled. An elastic band 31 is provided as the main body and is arranged around the edge of the connecting sleeve 20. During use, the elastic band 31 can be tightened by pulling the Velcro surface 32. When the Velcro surface 32 is attached to the Velcro hook surface 33, the elastic band 31 is kept taut to facilitate stable binding on the side wall of the electrode head 40.
[0042] In addition, the use of the Velcro surface 32 and the Velcro hook surface 33 in this embodiment allows the fixing function of the fixing assembly 30 to be adjusted at any time. When the Velcro surface 32 and the Velcro hook surface 33 are in contact, the connecting sleeve 20 is tightened, so that the fork 21 is tightened, and the electrode sleeve is stably sleeved on the electrode head 40. When the Velcro surface 32 is torn off, the elastic band 31 retracts, the connecting sleeve 20 loses its restraining force, and the fork 21 automatically opens, thereby separating the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 20 from the side wall of the electrode head 40, making it easier to remove the electrode sleeve. As can be seen, fixing with Velcro is easy to disassemble, making it convenient for users to use, replace, repair or clean the electrode sleeve at any time.
[0043] Specifically, as another embodiment of this embodiment, the width of the Velcro loop surface 32 is disclosed to be smaller than the width of the Velcro hook surface 33. The wider Velcro hook surface 33 disclosed in this embodiment facilitates connection with the Velcro loop surface 32, ensuring that all areas of the Velcro loop surface 32 are aligned with the Velcro hook surface 33, achieving a good connection. Specifically, the Velcro loop surface 32 is 8 mm wide, while the Velcro hook surface 33 is 10 mm wide. In this case, the Velcro loop surface 32 can float up or down by approximately 1 mm during alignment, ensuring complete alignment with the Velcro hook surface 33, eliminating concerns about a small alignment area or unstable connection.
[0044] Specifically, as another implementation of this embodiment, the elastic band 31 is disclosed as a rubber band or an elastic band. The elastic band 31 disclosed in this embodiment is connected to the connecting sleeve 20 and is used to be tied to the electrode head 40. Therefore, it has flexibility and elasticity. It can achieve the binding effect by being set as a rubber band or an elastic band. It should be noted that this embodiment only cites the types of elastic bands 31, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to this. As long as other types of elastic bands 31 can achieve the technical effects disclosed in this application, they should also be within the scope of protection of this application as equivalent replacements of the concept of the present utility model.
[0045] Specifically, as another embodiment of this embodiment, the absorbent cloth piece 10 is disclosed to have a thickness of 0.3-0.6 mm. The absorbent cloth piece 10 disclosed in this embodiment is used to soak in a conductive solution to conduct electricity to the electrode head 40. The absorbent cloth piece 10 should not be too thick. If it exceeds 0.6 mm, a large amount of saline solution is required to soak both sides of the absorbent cloth piece 10 to achieve sufficient conduction between the electrode head 40 and the user's skin. During actual operation, if too much saline solution is soaked on the absorbent cloth piece 10, due to the influence of gravity, the saline solution may continuously flow to the user's scalp during use, affecting the user's experience. The absorbent cloth piece 10 should also not be too thin. If it is less than 0.3 mm, the user may still feel the hardness of the electrode head 40 when wearing the head-mounted energy capsule, thus failing to solve the problem of wearing discomfort.
[0046] In addition, from a manufacturing perspective, fabrics that are too thin require high production technology and are difficult to manufacture; fabrics that are too thick waste materials, so being too thin or too thick will increase production costs.
[0047] Specifically, as another embodiment of this embodiment, the absorbent cloth piece 10 is cut from wood pulp cotton fabric. Wood pulp cotton is made from lignin and cellulose found in natural wood. It is a natural fiber that is highly resilient, elastic, and heat-resistant. It contains no chemical fibers and is therefore non-irritating to the skin. Furthermore, wood pulp cotton has excellent water absorption properties, rapidly expanding after absorbing water. It also has a soft texture and excellent water retention, resisting easy water seepage. Wood pulp cotton hardens upon drying, preventing bacterial growth and mold formation. Furthermore, wood pulp cotton automatically degrades and decays after use and is discarded. Burning it does not emit harmful gases, making it a completely natural and harmless product.
[0048] In general, the absorbent cloth block 10 in this embodiment is made of wood pulp cotton cloth, which has excellent water absorption and water retention properties, which is conducive to achieving the effect of long-lasting and stable connection between the electrode head 40 and the user's skin. It is also not easy to breed bacteria when used in an alternating dry and wet environment, which is convenient for improving the cleanliness of the electrode sleeve and extending the service life of the electrode sleeve.
[0049] Specifically, as another embodiment of this embodiment, the connecting sleeve 20 is disclosed as being made of a polyurethane composite fabric. The polyurethane composite fabric is flexible, waterproof, comfortable to the touch, and has a long service life. As the connecting portion of the electrode sleeve, it can stably fit the electrode head 40, allowing the absorbent fabric piece 10 to fit more closely to the electrode head 40 and maintain a tight connection.
[0050] Specifically, as another implementation of this embodiment, one side of the connecting sleeve 20 is sewn to the absorbent fabric block 10, and the other side is sewn to the fixing assembly 30. The absorbent fabric block 10, connecting sleeve 20, and fixing assembly 30 disclosed in this embodiment can all be made of soft materials and thus can be connected together by sewing. This simple connection method provides a good connection effect, thereby reducing the weight of the entire electrode sleeve.
[0051] As another embodiment of the present application, a head-mounted energy capsule is disclosed, which includes an electrode sleeve for a head-mounted energy capsule as described above. The head-mounted energy capsule disclosed in this embodiment can use the electrode sleeve as an auxiliary material. When a user uses the head-mounted energy capsule, if the electrode head 40 feels uncomfortable touching the head, the user can put on the electrode sleeve to obtain a more comfortable touch and enhance the comfort of use.
[0052] In summary, the present application discloses an electrode sleeve for a head-mounted energy cabin, wherein the electrode sleeve is used on the electrode head 40 of the head-mounted energy cabin; wherein, the electrode sleeve includes an absorbent cloth block 10, a connecting sleeve 20 and a fixing assembly 30, wherein the absorbent cloth block 10 is covered on the end surface of the electrode head 40 and is used to soak the conductive liquid to conduct the electrode head 40; the connecting sleeve 20 is connected to the absorbent cloth block 10 and is arranged around the edge of the absorbent cloth block 10; the connecting sleeve 20 is arranged on the side of the absorbent cloth block 10 that contacts the electrode head 40 and is wrapped around the side of the electrode head 40; the fixing assembly 30 is arranged on the side of the connecting sleeve 20 away from the absorbent cloth block 10, and is used to tighten the electrode head 40. The electrode head 40 disclosed in this embodiment is used when it is sleeved on the electrode head 40 of the head-mounted energy chamber. One side of the absorbent cloth block 10 can be connected to the electrode head 40, and the other side of the absorbent cloth block 10 can be in contact with the skin of the user's head and also remain conductive. Therefore, after covering the absorbent cloth block 10, the circuit conduction of the head-mounted energy chamber can still be maintained, and transcranial direct current intervention can be performed normally. On the basis of not affecting the normal operation of the head-mounted energy chamber, the electrode head 40 is fastened to the electrode head 40 by the fixing component 30, so that the connecting sleeve 20 and the absorbent cloth block 10 are kept stable, avoiding loosening or slipping during use, and improving the stability of the electrode sleeve during use. In addition, the absorbent cloth block 10 itself is made of cloth cut and woven, so it can be soaked in conductive liquid. It has a soft texture and has a good touch when in contact with the user's skin, which is conducive to improving the comfort of wearing and use.
[0053] It should be noted that, unless there is any conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
[0054] It should be noted that the present invention takes the electrode sleeve for a head-mounted energy cabin as an example to introduce the specific structure and working principle of the present invention, but the application of the present invention is not limited to the electrode sleeve for a head-mounted energy cabin, and can also be applied to the production and use of other similar workpieces.
[0055] It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope thereof. The scope of the present invention is limited only by the appended claims.
[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
