Shape memory alloy rehabilitation glove
Technical Field
The utility model relates to the technical field of medical rehabilitation equipment, in particular to a shape memory alloy rehabilitation glove.
Background
The treatment of hand skeletal injury diseases generally comprises two steps: operation treatment and postoperative rehabilitation training. The operation effect determines whether the hand function can be recovered, and the rehabilitation training effect determines the degree of the recovery of the hand function. With the improvement of medical technology level, the success rate of surgical operation is higher and higher, but the attention degree of people to postoperative rehabilitation training is still lower, so that the existing hand rehabilitation training device is still lagged behind.
Most of hand rehabilitation training devices in the current market still adopt the traditional electromechanical drive and the traditional air cylinder drive. The rehabilitation training device with the rigid structure has the advantages of large volume, heavy weight and poor air permeability, is not beneficial to wearing in the rehabilitation training, and invisibly increases the pressure of injured hands.
And most of the existing rehabilitation training devices are difficult to meet the requirements of different hand motion amplitudes at different rehabilitation training stages. If in the early stage of rehabilitation training, the motion amplitude of the hand is generally small, and the minimum deformation quantity provided by the driver for the rehabilitation device is too large, so that the motion with small amplitude of the hand cannot be realized, and the rehabilitation effect is poor. In the later stage of rehabilitation training, the motion amplitude requirement of the hand is large, the maximum deformation quantity provided by the driver for the rehabilitation device is too small, so that the motion requirement of the hand with large amplitude cannot be met, the pressure of the hand is increased by forced motion, the rehabilitation is not facilitated, and secondary damage to the hand is possibly caused; the rehabilitation training effect is reduced.
SUMMERY OF THE UTILITY MODEL
In order to solve the problem that the rehabilitation training device in the prior art cannot meet the requirements of different hand motion amplitudes, the utility model provides the shape memory alloy rehabilitation glove, the shape memory alloy wire is arranged in a reciprocating winding mode in a limited space, so that the available length range of the shape memory alloy wire is expanded, and the deformation range provided by the shape memory alloy wire is expanded under the driving action.
In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

The maximum deformation of the shape memory alloy wire is only 3% -5%, and the shape memory alloy wire with the fixed length is difficult to meet the requirements of deformation in different rehabilitation stages, particularly in the later rehabilitation stage when the hand motion amplitude requirement is large. In the limited space of the forearm sheath, the arrangement mode of the shape memory alloy wire wound in a reciprocating manner enlarges the available original length range, further enlarges the deformation length range provided by the shape memory alloy wire under the driving action, and is favorable for meeting the requirements of different rehabilitation stages on the deformation quantity of the shape memory alloy wire; and in the rehabilitation training process, the improvement of the rehabilitation effect is promoted.

Furthermore, the insulated traction wire is a carbon traction wire.
