tactile stimulation module and multichannel tactile stimulation device
Technical Field

background
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri), which is a neuroimaging method widely used for exploring human tactile brain atlas, and the principle is to measure the hemodynamic changes caused by neuron activity by magnetic resonance imaging.
The formation of touch is firstly to generate different action potentials after the change of external physical quantity is sensed through a tactile receptor on the skin, and then nerve signals are transmitted to a somatosensory cortex of a brain to excite the tactile function so as to generate sense and cognition. When performing tactile brain mapping measurements, it is necessary to apply a stimulus to the skin. The stimulation providing device needs to operate in a strong magnetic field environment around the functional magnetic resonance equipment, so that the stimulation device is required to have nuclear magnetic compatibility.
the stimulation generating methods of the prior art stimulation providing devices mainly include pneumatic type and piezoelectric ceramic type. The pneumatic transmission modes can be mainly divided into the following modes: 1. providing a stimulus by vibrating with a membrane; 2. directly fixing a spray head at a stimulation part to generate stimulation through air injection; 3. the gas pushes the cylinder to generate reciprocating motion through the control of the reversing valve, so that the reciprocating vibration of the guide wire is driven to realize the stimulation on the target position. Because the gas is limited by the compression coefficient, the pneumatic stimulation mode can provide lower stimulation frequency, and less experiment frequency can be selected during experiments.

However. The piezoelectric ceramic plates used at present have large volume, low resolution ratio when being arranged and relatively small displacement.
therefore, under the trend of more precise requirements on the tactile stimulation, the development of a tactile stimulation device with higher stimulation frequency and higher resolution is needed.

In this application, the accommodating cavity piezoelectric bending actuator 200 is fixed by the mounting plate 170. When the number of the piezoelectric bending actuators 200 is n, the number of the mounting plates is n-1, where n is a natural number greater than 1.
The mounting plate 170 is mounted on the second vertical bracket 140 and is disposed in parallel with the first horizontal bracket 110. The mounting plate 170 is provided with a mounting hole for fixing the piezo bending actuator 200. The mounting plates 170 are arranged in a vertical direction, and the length of the mounting plates 170 is sequentially reduced in a direction from the height of the second vertical supports 140 to the height. Here, the length of the mounting plate 170 refers to a length of the mounting plate 170 extending in the stimulation direction.
In the implementation process, the length of the mounting plate 170 is sequentially shortened, and the position of the mounting hole for mounting the piezoelectric bending actuator 200 is gradually close to the second vertical bracket 140 in the direction from the high to the low of the second vertical bracket 140, so that the piezoelectric bending actuator 200 can be arranged in a staggered manner, and the mounting space is saved.

The first inverted trapezoid cover 180 and the second inverted trapezoid cover 190 may be fixed on the fixing frame 100 or may be integrally formed with the fixing frame 100.
in the above implementation process, the first inverted trapezoid cover 180 and the second inverted trapezoid cover 190 can fix the two side plates of each mounting plate 170, and since the free end of the piezoelectric bending driver 200 can vibrate, reinforcing the two sides of the mounting plate 170 can ensure that the mounting plate 170 does not vibrate along with the vibration of the piezoelectric bending driver 200, thereby ensuring the stability of the vibration of the piezoelectric bending driver 200. In addition, the first inverted trapezoid cover 180 and the second inverted trapezoid cover 190 can better fit a plurality of tactile stimulation modules when the tactile stimulation modules are arranged, and meanwhile, the first inverted trapezoid cover 180 and the second inverted trapezoid cover 190 can be provided with sliding connection grooves for assembling or disassembling adjacent tactile stimulation modules.
in another aspect, the present application also provides a multichannel tactile stimulation apparatus. Fig. 9 is a schematic structural diagram of a multi-channel tactile stimulation apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 9, the multi-channel tactile stimulation apparatus includes a plurality of tactile stimulation blocks 10 as described above and a connection structure connecting the plurality of tactile stimulation blocks 10.
the guide wires 400 of the plurality of tactile stimulation modules face the same stimulation direction and the anchors of the plurality of tactile stimulation modules are arranged in a straight line. Each holder 100 includes a first side and a second side that contact adjacent holders 100. When the tactile stimulation module adopts the structure of the first inverted trapezoidal cover and the second inverted trapezoidal cover, the side plane of the first inverted trapezoidal cover is the first side, and the side plane of the second inverted trapezoidal cover is the second side.
The coupling structure includes a rail 600 provided at a first side of each holder 100 and a rail groove 700 provided at a second side of each holder 100, see fig. 3.
It should be noted that, the application of the connection structure using the guide rail groove and the guide rail matching with the guide rail groove is only an example, the application does not specifically limit the connection structure for connecting the tactile stimulation module, and all the connection structures capable of realizing detachable connection of the tactile stimulation module fall within the protection scope of the application.
When the guide wires 400 of each tactile stimulation module are multiple, the guide wires 400 on the multi-channel tactile stimulation apparatus are arranged in a matrix. The multi-channel tactile stimulation device can realize the stimulation of high-frequency tactile brain activity of 300 channels and above. In addition, the tactile stimulation modules of the multi-channel tactile stimulation device can be freely combined according to the required channel number, so that the problems of insufficient channel number, low optional operation frequency, low resolution in the operation process and the like in the current tactile brain activity experiment can be solved.
in the application, the driving components in the tactile stimulation unit, such as the piezoelectric bimorph, and the output components, such as the steering driver 300 and the guide wire 400, have nuclear magnetic compatibility, and can be placed indoors, so that the loss of force and displacement on a transmission path can be reduced. Meanwhile, one piezoelectric bimorph can realize the normal work of one channel, each channel is small in size, more channels can be arranged in a relatively narrow nuclear magnetic chamber, and stimulation at more positions is realized. Meanwhile, the vibration frequency output by the piezoelectric bimorph is strictly equal to the frequency of the input control square wave, so that the frequency of the stable operation of the driving part of the equipment can reach 300Hz at most.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and various modifications and changes may be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
