Description

Finger training device

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of health and fitness instruments, and particularly relates to a finger training device.

Background

In daily life, the fingers are stiff and stiff, the fingers cannot be unfolded to affect normal work, and even the life cannot be self-care, so that inconvenience is brought to the life of individuals and families. During the early rehabilitation and spontaneous recovery period of limb operation or cranial nerve injury of a patient, the continuous passive motion is implemented to compensate the deficiency of active motion of the patient, increase the limb mobility of the patient and reduce corresponding complications, so that although the finger rehabilitation device and the finger separating plate on the market have the function of training the fingers to bend and open, the finger rehabilitation device and the finger separating plate have the defect that the fingers are weak and need to drive the glove to train; the people with fingers obstruction are inconvenient to wear, the air pump sucks air to make the bending strength of the gloves too small, and the training mode is tedious.

Disclosure of Invention

In view of the above disadvantages of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a finger training device capable of realizing any bending and stretching of each finger section and opening and closing and bending between fingers, so as to solve the problems of stiff and rigid fingers and the like, and to assist a wearer in performing a bending and opening movement of fingers at the same time, and the device has the advantages of simple structure, convenient wearing, large bending force, light weight, good flexibility, and the like.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the fall-off prevention means comprises a connection portion provided between the glove fingers and the back/wrist, the connection portion covering the back area of the hand.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the anti-falling device comprises a wrist band, the wrist band extends from the wrist along the arm direction, at least one bandage is arranged on the wrist band, and magic tapes matched with each other are arranged at two ends of the bandage.

The invention has the technical effects that in order to solve the problems that the fingers can not be opened at will and the opening degree is small when the device is used, the soft actuator of the device can be opened and closed when the device is inflated and sucked by an inflator pump, the soft actuator can be filled with doubled atmospheric pressure gas when the device is inflated, the soft actuator is in a certain expansion state, the gas with only one atmospheric pressure can be sucked when the device is sucked, namely, compared with the palm holding direction, the palm opening direction drives the fingers to be opened because the doubled atmospheric pressure gas has larger thrust when the device is inflated, the strength selection is convenient, the device can effectively carry out targeted rehabilitation training on people with finger obstacles, and the training effect is improved.

In order to solve the problem that the fingers cannot be opened and closed and bent when the glove is used, a second function part installed between the fingers, namely the air bag is inflated and deflated to realize the opening and closing training of the fingers, the air bag is connected with two sides of a soft actuator fixing clamp, the air bag is inflated towards two sides and the front during ventilation, an inflated area forms a sector to open two adjacent soft actuators, the air bag is contracted during air suction, the two adjacent soft actuators are closed, when a palm and fingers are simultaneously opened and placed on the glove, secondary damage caused by the fact that the palm and the fingers are forcibly opened to an uncomfortable angle is avoided, and the air bags at two ends of each finger can have the advantage that the soft actuators are prevented from turning on one side when the glove is opened and closed.

In order to solve the problem that the gloves are inconvenient to wear, the device is simple in structure, and a patient can wear the gloves with one hand without the help of others.

In order to solve the problem that the gloves can fall off from the fingers due to insufficient friction force when the gloves are stretched, the anti-falling device designs four anti-falling device schemes between the gloves and the fingers, and is convenient for driving the fingers to recover with less loss of the push-pull force of the gloves during training.

In order to solve the problem that the gloves are difficult to be synchronized with the inflation and the air suction when the fingers are opened and closed, the device designs that the fingers are opened and the fingers are opened when the air is inflated, and the fingers are closed when the air is sucked, thereby greatly simplifying the structure of the gloves.
