Currently, an electrode plate on the market and used to stimulate a physical therapy action is generally applied to a skin surface of a human body in a form of a fastening band. However, overall discomfort is easily imposed on a user, and is not applicable to wear for a long time, and the electrode plate is not necessarily able to properly fasten the skin surface of the human body or the like.
Therefore, this embodiment provides a hand wearable apparatus.
Referring to
In practical application, the hand wearable apparatus can be applied to finger wearable devices, specifically gloves. Therefore, when the electrode assembly 11 is set on the corresponding finger or palm acupuncture points, it can be pressed on the corresponding acupuncture point in conjunction with the driving device 22. When the electrode assembly 11 is placed on the glove and corresponding to a Shangyang acupuncture point on the index finger, constipation can be regulated by a pressing and electrical stimulation of the electrode component 11. When the electrode assembly 11 is placed on a glove and corresponds to a Hegu point area, the pressing and electrical stimulation of the electrode assembly 11 can help to relax the muscles, activate the meridians, and enhance the body's resistance, achieving therapeutic effects.
Specifically, the hand wearable apparatus may be applied to a bracelet, that is, the bracelet includes the hand wearable apparatus described above. The wearable member 10 includes a wrist strap 7 configured to be disposed on a wrist of the human body. When the user wears the wrist strap on the wrist, the electrode assembly 11 may be aligned with an acupuncture point on the wrist of the human body, so that when the driving device 22 is driven, the electrode assembly 11 is brought into abutment with the skin surface corresponding to the acupuncture point, for example, Neiguan acupuncture point. Therefore, by the micro current, an antiemetic effect (such as a halo prevention effect) may be implemented, and it is also easy to carry. The electrode assembly 11 may be one or more electrode plates, and a size of the electrode plate may be defined by a manufacturer.
Specifically, the electrode assembly 11 is disposed on the driving device 22, that is, the electrode assembly 11 is indirectly disposed on the wrist strap 7. When the driving device 22 drives, the electrode assembly 11 may be directly driven to move against the skin surface. In this embodiment, both the driving device 22 and the electrode assembly 11 may be disposed on the wrist strap 7 or the dial 1. In another embodiment, the driving device 22 is disposed opposite to the electrode assembly 11. That is, the driving device 22 is disposed on the wrist strap 7, and the electrode assembly 11 may be disposed on the dial 1. Alternatively, the electrode assembly 11 is disposed on the wrist strap 7, and the driving device 22 may be disposed on the dial 1. When the driving device 22 is driven, the wrist strap 7 at an opposite side surface may be tightened by using a reaction force, or the electrode assembly 11 may press against the skin surface.
To implement control over the electrode assembly 11 and the driving device 22, the bracelet in this embodiment further includes a controller 00, and the controller 00 is electrically connected to the electrode assembly 11 and the driving device 22 respectively. The controller 00 is configured to: generate a driving data for the driving device 22 and transmit the driving data to the driving device 22. The driving device 22 is configured to make the electrode assembly 11 close to the skin surface of the human body according to the driving data. The electrode assembly 11 is configured to apply an electrical stimulation to the skin surface based on the current signal output by the controller 00 when the skin surface is pressed tightly the skin surface by the the electrode assembly 11.
To facilitate understanding of the bracelet provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the following briefly describes an application scenario of the bracelet. The bracelet may be mainly applied to a related scenario in which a vehicle, a ship, an airplane, or the like moves. This is mainly because in these related scenarios, discomfort of the human body, such as a vertigo feeling or a vomiting feeling, can be stimulated by acceleration movement in any form, such as bumpy, swaying, or rotating, so as to relieve discomfort of the human body in the foregoing application scenario. Only in this case, the bracelet is provided.
It should be noted that the bracelet herein may be further applied to another scenario, for example, for a pregnant woman in a puerperal period, the bracelet provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure may be effectively used to stop emesis. In addition, the bracelet may be further applied to another related scenario, for example, used for pressure relief or hand trembling relief used for ET trembling, which is not specifically limited herein. In consideration of a general situation of vehicles such as seasickness and seasickness, these scenarios are also used as examples for description later.
To avoid, as far as possible, a problem of relatively poor stimulation effectiveness caused by improper bonding between the bracelet and the skin surface of the human body, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, an effect of pressing the skin surface of the human body by the bracelet may be improve by a cooperation work between the controller 00, the driving device 22, and the electrode assembly 11, an electrical stimulation in an pressing state is implemented.
In some embodiments, the driving device 22 may be driven, so that the electrode assembly 11 in a driving state can better adhere the skin surface of the human body, and a contact force is increased. In this case, the electrical stimulation is performed to better alleviate symptoms such as sickness, and a sickness prevention effect is stronger.
The electrode assembly 11 in this embodiment of the present disclosure may include, for example, a single electrode plate, or may be multiple electrode plates (for example, an electrode group formed by two electrode plates). The driving device 22 herein may match one or more driving elements, which is not specifically limited herein.
In some embodiments, the controller 00 may determine the driving data for the driver based on a contact pressure value between the electrode plate and the skin surface of the human body, and may cause, according to the driving data, a bracelet to produce an effect of pressing the skin surface of the human body tightly.
The driving data herein is mainly related a control data that causes a change of the driving device 22. For example, in a case in which the driving device 22 includes the first airbag 221b, the control data herein may be an inflatable amount of the first airbag 221b, so as to control a contact strength between the first airbag 221b and the skin surface, thereby controlling contact the strength between the electrode assembly 11 and the skin surface of the human body. The number of first airbags 221b is multiple, and the number of electrode pieces of the electrode assembly 11 is equal to the number of first airbags 221b.
In a case in which it is determined that a change generated by the driving device 22 causes enough contact pressure, an electrical stimulation may be applied to the electrode assembly 11 by the controls of the controller 00.
Specifically, the electrode assembly 11 may be disposed on the first airbag 221b, or on a side that is disposed on the wrist strap 7 and opposite to the first airbag 221b.
In any one of the foregoing cooperation manners, compared with a solution that is fastened only by a wrist strap, the bracelet provided in the present disclosure does not need to be fastened and worn, so that loose wearing of the bracelet can still ensure that the electrode assembly 11 press the skin surface tightly and a stable contact between the bracelet and the electrode assembly 11 is maintained, and a comfortable feeling can be ensured when an effectiveness electrical stimulation is provided.
In addition, in a pressing state, the electrode assembly 11 ejects into a depressed portion o the skin surface, so that the electrode assembly 11 is closer to a median nerve in a deep part of the wrist of the human body, an electric field of the electrical stimulation propagates more efficiently in the organism, and a better stimulation effect is provided by using the electric stimulation with a power same as the prior art, thereby further improving an stimulation effectiveness of the bracelet.
Considering that the driving device 22 plays a key role in the bracelet provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the following focuses on the driving device 22.
The driving device 22 herein may be specifically implemented by using multiple structures. This embodiment of the present disclosure mainly provides the following nine implementation manners.
Manner 1: referring to
The air pump 221a is electrically connected to the controller 00. The air pump 221a inflates the first airbag 221b according to the driving data. After the first airbag 221b is deformed, the electrode assembly 11 is driven to approach and squeeze the skin surface of the human body. Alternatively, the first airbag 221b directly presses the skin surface of the human body after being deformed, so that the electrode assembly 11 located on the opposite side is close to the skin surface of the human body by using a reaction force.
To determine a more accurate deformation amount of the first airbag 221b, a pressure sensor may be used herein to obtain a contact pressure value between the electrode assembly 11 and a skin surface of the human body in real time or non-real time (for example, timing). A greater pressure value indicates that the electrode assembly 11 is relatively tight to the skin surface of the human body. In this case, a relatively small deformation amount is required, and a smaller pressure value indicates that the electrode assembly 11 is relatively loose to the skin surface of the human body. In this case, a relatively large deformation amount is required.

In a second manner, the driving device 22 includes an air pump 222 an and a cylinder 222b connected to the air pump 222a by using the air pipe. The cylinder 222b drives the electrode assembly 11 to abut the skin surface when the air pump 222a blows the air to the cylinder 222b.
The air pump 222a is electrically connected to the controller 00. Specifically, the air pump 222a determines a displacement of an internal piston of the cylinder 222b according to the driving data. The cylinder 222b drives the internal piston to move according to a moving amount, and directly pushes the electrode assembly 11 toward an inside of the bracelet to produce an effect of pressing the skin surface of the human body tightly. Alternatively, the cylinder 222b drives the internal piston to move according to the moving amount to directly or indirectly squeeze the skin surface of the human body, so that moving the electrode assembly 11 toward the inside of the bracelet may also produce an effect of squeezing the skin surface of the human body.

As shown in
Manner 5: The driving device 22 is an electric push rod, and when the electric push rod works, the electrode assembly 11 is brought into abutment with the skin surface.
The electric push rod is electrically connected to the controller 00. The electric push rod determines a moving amount of an internal piston according to the driving data, so as to drive the electrode assembly 11 to move toward the inner side of the bracelet to produce an effect of pressing the skin surface of the human body tightly. In addition, the electric push rod may directly squeeze the skin surface of the human body according to the moving amount, so that the electrode assembly 11 moves toward the inner side of the bracelet to produce an effect of squeezing the skin surface of the human body. Specifically, the electric push rod may use a micro electric push rod.

In a case in which magnetic current is generated by energizing the coil 226a, the electrode assembly 11 moves toward the inside of the bracelet based on the repulsion motion between the coil 226a and the magnet, so as to produce an effect of pressing the skin surface of the human body.

As shown in
As shown in
Regardless of the foregoing implementation manners, the bracelet provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure can implement a better electrical stimulation control effect by cooperating with an air pressure sensor 20.
In actual application, the air pressure sensor 20 may detect an air pressure value generated by the driving device 22, and transmit the air pressure value to the controller 00. In this way, the controller 00 may determine, according to the air pressure value and the current contact pressure value of the electrode assembly 11, the driving data for the driving device 22 and an electrical stimulation signal for implementing electrical stimulation for the electrode assembly 11.
Using the first airbag 221b and the air pump 221a shown in
In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller 00 reads the measured value of the air pressure sensor 20 in the first airbag 221b, so as to effectively control an air pressure in the first airbag 221b by using the air pump 221a. On the one hand, an accurate instantaneous pressure fluctuation curve may be used to simulate a physical point function of the Chinese medicine, and excitement of the median nerve is enhanced by the physical point function, thereby significantly improving effectiveness of stimulation. On the other hand, the air pressure change in the first airbag 221b can be quickly switched, the hardness of the first airbag 221b and a skin depth change of a top concave skin can be operated, and a physical repeatedly pressing and vibration rubbing function can be simulated. The function cooperates with the electrical stimulation, and can effectively activate a median nerve in a deep part of the wrist of the human body, so as to achieve a superposition effect of an auxiliary massage, an acupuncture, or an electric moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, a practicability of the bracelet is further improved.
It should be noted that the air pump 221a herein may further adjust, according to different electrical stimulation modes, an air pressure in the first airbag 221b according to a curve. For example, the air pump 221a implements a continuously stable pressure control of the first airbag 221b.
Herein, the electrical stimulation is implemented with reference to a cooperation between the controller 00, the air pump 221a, the first airbag 221b, the pressure sensor 20, and the pressure sensor 30. In a process in which the first airbag 221b is driven by the air pump 221a, the pressure sensor 30 may record a skin pressure at the electrode assembly 11 currently caused by the wrist strap 7 (which is referred to herein by a wrist strap pressure). The controller 00 calculates, based on the wrist strap pressure, a sine-like curve of an optimal pressure applied to the first airbag 221b. As shown in
Specifically, a curve 111 shown in
In addition, an outline of a dotted line in the curve 115 represents an envelope range of an concussion curve of 115 that varies over time. As described herein, an amplitude difference of the electrical stimulation increases to a top as the pressure rises, and the amplitude of the electrical stimulation decreases as the pressure decreases.
As can be learned from
In addition,
In an actual application, to further improve use experience of different users, the bracelet provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure may prompt the user to adjust when contact strength is excessively large or excessively small, that is, the wrist strap 7 may be an adjustable and loose belt. This is mainly because a low pressure causes insufficient contact force between the electrode and the skin surface, which leads to a large contact resistance of the electrode, a decrease in the effectiveness of electrical stimulation, and an increase in skin fever. A high pressure causes discomfort to a patient. To solve the foregoing problem, the controller 00 herein may analyze an pressure data recorded by the pressure sensor 30 and adjust pressing states of the bracelet.
Herein, when the controller 00 determines that a contact pressure value between the electrode assembly 11 and the skin surface of the human body is less than a preset pressure value, the controller 00 may generate a reminder signal that is used to remind the user to adjust the bracelet, and prompt the user to adjust the wearing by using a display screen 33, as shown in
In actual use of the bracelet, the bracelet further includes a protrusion element disposed on the first airbag 4 configured to press the acupuncture point. The protrusion element can be a protrusion or a metal piece, etc., which achieve massage during the inflation of the first airbag 4. In actual use of the bracelet, the bracelet further includes a second airbag 4 configured to press the acupuncture point, that is, after the electric stimulation is implemented by using the first airbag 221b to drive the electrode assembly 11 to move, the user may further massage the stimulated acupuncture point by using the second airbag 4, so as to further stimulate the acupuncture point to achieve a better stimulation effect. In other embodiment, the protrusion element can be disposed on the second airbag 221b, the wrist strap 7, or the dial 1, and a position of the protrusion element is not specifically limited herein.
The second airbag 4 may not be connected to the air pump 221a, and the user may press the second airbag 4 to stimulate the acupuncture point according to a requirement. Certainly, the second airbag 4 may further be connected to the air pump 221a, so as to implement an inflation under an action of the air pump 221a for use by the user. In addition, the second airbag 4 may be consistent with a working mode of the first airbag 221b, that is, a synchronization action with the first airbag 221b is implemented after the first airbag 221b is inflated and deflated. The first airbag 221b and the second airbag 4 may be separately inflated and deflated, so as to provide the user with more usage modes and improve usage experience.
In actual application, there may be multiple first airbags 221b, and a plurality of electrode assembly 11, the number of the first airbags 221b is equivalent to the number of the electrode assembly 11b. An electrode assembly 11 is correspondingly configured with a first airbag 221b, and a size of the first airbag 221b may be rounded larger than a size of a corresponding one electrode assembly 11. For example, the first airbag 221b may extend in a direction of the wrist strap 7, that is, may occupy an inner side of the entire wrist strap 7. Certainly, in another embodiment, the number of the first airbags 221b may be one. In this case, a length and a width of the electrode assembly 11 may be relatively increased, so as to effectively press the acupuncture point on the wrist. Specifically, there may be two first airbags 221b, and are respectively located on two sides of the second airbag 4.
In an embodiment, both the first airbag 221b and the second airbag 4 are inflatable and deflatable airbags, that is, the first airbag 221b and the second airbag 4 may perform a pressing stimulation and massage on an acupuncture point on the wrist of the user by inflating and deflation.
Specifically, in an embodiment, both the first airbag 221b and the second airbag 4 are provided with an inflation and deflation opening 61. In another embodiment, the first airbag 221b and the second airbag 4 may be in an integral structure, and the first airbag 221b and the second airbag 4 are connected to each other. In this way, the inflation and deflation opening 61 is disposed on the first airbag 221b and/or the second airbag 4, and the inflation and deflation opening 61 is connected to the air pump 221a to implement charging and discharging of the first airbag 221b and the second airbag 4.
The display screen 33 in this embodiment of the present disclosure may further implement, based on application requirements of different users, specific display of various data such as an intensity of the electrical stimulation, a squeezing strength of the driving device 22, an countdown protection information, a breathing mode, or user health data. It can be understood, through the intensity of the electrical stimulation, the squeezing strength of the driving device 22, and the countdown protection information, a long time of the pressure provided to the skin surface or a long time of the electrical stimulation provided to the skin surface can be avoid. It can be understood, the squeezing strength of the driving device 22 raises, a pressing intensity of the electrode assembly 11 on the skin surface can raise too.
In addition, the display screen 33 in this embodiment of the present disclosure may further be a touch display screen 2, and a control result of the target task in response to a touch control instruction of the user for the target task: and the control result includes one or more of changing the intensity of the electrical stimulation, the squeezing strength of the driving device 22, the countdown protection information, and time under the touch control instruction. This is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.
It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the display screen 33 with a simple function and the touch display screen 2 may be disposed simultaneously, or the display screen 33 with a touch function may be disposed. In this way, when a touch operation needs to be performed, a touch function may be implemented by an unlocking operation provided on the touch display screen, or a small touch partition may be disposed on the display screen 33 to support the touch function, which sets no specific limitation thereto.
Considering that an excessively high or excessively low temperature may cause user discomfort in an actual electrical stimulation process, a temperature measurement needs to be performed herein with reference to a temperature sensor 40 to set a safe temperature wall for the electrical stimulation. The temperature sensor 40 in the wrist strap provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure is electrically connected to the controller 00, and may detect a temperature value between the electrode assembly 11 and the skin surface of the human body, so that the controller 00 determines an electrical stimulation policy for the electrode assembly 11 according to the temperature value, and/or determines a temperature adjustment policy for the driving device 22.
For example, the temperature sensor 40 may be disposed near the electrode assembly 11 to determine a temperature value of the electrode assembly 11. Herein, if the temperature measured by the temperature sensor 40 reaches an improper line (for example, 39 degrees), in this case, the controller 00 may change a stimulation mode to a comfort mode, set the electrical stimulation intensity to an intermediate level, send a sound and a vibration prompt based on a reminder component, and may also prompt, by using the display screen 33, a change of the electrical stimulation policy. If the temperature reaches the guard line (for example, 41 degrees), in this case, the controller 00 may change the stimulation mode to the comfort mode, and the intensity of the electrical stimulation is set to a minimum value. At the same time, the controller 00 gives a sound and a vibration prompt based on the reminder component, and may further prompt the user by using the display screen 33 to show a change of the current temperature and the electrical stimulation policy.
It can be learned that, when determining that the temperature value exceeds a preset temperature threshold, the controller 00 in this embodiment of the present disclosure may replace the intensity of the electrical stimulation against the electrode assembly 11, for example, reduce the intensity of the electrical stimulation. At the same time, the controller 00 may remind the user in time by a reminder component.
In actual application, as shown in
For describing a specific heating principle easily, an example of the air pump 221a cooperating with the first airbag 221b may be described below.
With respect to the heating of the first airbag 221b, the heating is mainly used to simulate a hot moxibustion, and further excites a median nerve by increasing the temperature, so as to improve an electrical stimulation effect. In addition, sweating is induced by a temperature change at the skin surface contact on a top of the airbag, and sweat liquid has conductivity, so that a dry electrode surface of the electrode assembly 11 is wet by using a salt solution of the sweat liquid, and a contact resistance of the electrode assembly 11 is reduced, thereby significantly improving the stimulation effectiveness.
In actual application, the controller 00 in this embodiment of the present disclosure may obtain, by reading a temperature value of the temperature sensor 40, a temperature change situation in the first airbag 221b, and control a heater based on the temperature change situation, so that the temperature in the first airbag 221b is stable or fluctuates according to a curve, thereby achieving a stable and continuously effective electrical stimulation.
In an actual application, a heating situation may be worse with a wearing time of the bracelet raising. In this case, the bracelet may be cooled by using a refrigeration component 55, as shown in
It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a technical purpose of applying an electrical stimulation signal to the electrode assembly 11 may be implemented based on a determining result of a preset electrical stimulation condition. The preset electrical stimulation condition herein may be considered based on a single factor. For example, the electrical stimulation may be applied only when it is determined that the contact pressure is large enough, or may be determined based on multiple factors, for example, the electrical stimulation is applied only when it is determined that a contact pressure is large enough and a sensing temperature is not high enough. Specifically, the electrical stimulation condition may be comprehensively determined with reference to user health data, atmospheric pressure change data, or the like, which is not specifically limited herein.
As shown in
According to a first aspect, when the switching on/off control is performed based on the switch component 66, the switch component 66 herein may acquire a switch signal triggered by a user, and determine, by means of analysis processing by the controller 00, a switch state for the bracelet or an electrical stimulation mode for the electrode assembly 11.
In actual application, the switch component 66 may control, by using a response of a first switch, a switch state of the bracelet or a switch of an electrical stimulation mode of the electrode assembly 11, or may control, by using a response of a second switch, an electrical the intensity of the electrical stimulation of the electrode assembly 11.
It should be noted that the foregoing switch setting is only a specific example. In a specific application, for example, a singal switch may be separately disposed to implement an electrical stimulation mode, or the electrical stimulation mode and the electrical stimulation intensity may be integrated into one switch operation, which is not specifically limited herein.
Regardless of whether the first switch, the second switch, or another singal switch may be disposed on a side of the dial, for example, a plurality of openings disposed on the side of the dial are used to insert the plurality of switches, and an external shape of each switch may be, for example, a circle, an oval, or a square, which is not specifically limited herein. The switch may be an entity button switch, or may be a virtual touch switch, which is not specifically limited herein.
According to a second aspect, when the switching on/off control is performed based on the rotation encoder 77, the rotation encoder 77 determines an intensity of the electrical stimulation of the electrode assembly 11 based on a variation indicated by a rotation adjustment operation in response to the rotation adjustment operation, so that the controller 00 applies an electrical stimulation signal matching the intensity of the electrical stimulation to the electrode assembly 11. Alternatively, the squeezing strength of the driving device 22 is determined, the pressing intensity of the electrode assembly 11 is determined too, so that the controller 00 applies a matching pressing force to the electrode assembly 11. Alternatively, a time at which the electrode assembly 11 exits is determined or a countdown protection information is determined, so that the controller 00 applies a matching pressing time to the electrode assembly 11.
It can be learned that a corresponding rotation control operation is implemented based on the rotation encoder 77, which further improves practicality in different application scenarios.
To further improve practicality of the bracelet provided in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a breathing adjustment component 88 may be disposed herein. As shown in
A health data collection component 99 may be further disposed in the bracelet herein. As shown in
The health data includes at least one or more of the following data: a temperature value, a blood pressure value, a blood oxygen value, and a heartbeat value.
Based on the foregoing health data collection, the controller 00 may further provide a health analysis result and/or a health report according to the health data. In addition, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, a support may be provided in a timely manner when a user is in a slight improper condition. In addition, when the user is in a obvious improper condition, an emergency rescue method (such as reporting a dangerous signal to an emergency contact terminal bound to a bracelet) may be used to help the user survive in a difficult condition.
In the foregoing embodiments of the present disclosure, no specific identifier is provided for a base part such as a bracelet. To further understand the embodiments of the present disclosure, a specific structure of the first airbag 221b driving the electrode assembly 11 is described with reference to a schematic structural diagram shown in
The bracelet in this embodiment of the present disclosure further includes a housing 1, and the housing 1 is disposed on the wrist strap 7. The controller 00 is a circuit board, and is disposed in the housing 1. The touch display screen 2 is disposed on the housing 1, and the first airbag 221b, the second airbag 4, the air pump 221a, the switch assembly 66, the air pump, the airbag, the temperature sensor 40, the pressure sensor 30, and the like may be disposed in the housing 1. The wrist strap 7 may be a loosely or elastic belt by means of mechanical structure adjustment, for example, may be a slightly elastic and adjustable nylon knitted belt, and has excellent features such as skin-friendly property, low sensitivity, and breathability.
In actual application, the driving device 22 is preferably disposed on the housing 1, so that the driving device 22 can be fixed and installed. Certainly, the driving device 22 may not be disposed on the controller 00, and is directly disposed on the wrist strap 7.
To facilitate information display, the touch display screen 2 is disposed on a top surface of the housing 1. The touch display screen 2 may timely remind the user to adjust and wear the bracelet. In addition, another related prompt such as low power may be performed.
To facilitate more direct electrical stimulation, a first opening 5 may be disposed on a bottom of the housing 1, the first airbag 221b and the second airbag 4 may protrude from the first opening 5 and outside the housing 1 when the first airbag 221b and the second airbag 4 are deformed, so as to drive the electrode assembly 11 to press the skin surface of the human body.
In an actual application, the first airbag 221b is bonded and integrated with the pressure sensor 30, the electrode assembly 11, and the temperature sensor 40. When the first airbag 221b is inflated, the pressure sensor 30, the electrode assembly 11, and the temperature sensor 40 project from a top of the first opening 5.
Considering that a material of a Polycarbonate (Polycarbonate, PC) has excellent characteristics such as high strength, elasticity coefficient, high impact strength, and a wide use temperature range, the housing 1 herein may be made of a PC material, and a second opening (not shown in the figure) disposed on the housing 1 and that is used for a touch display 2 and a switch assembly 66. Waterproof encapsulation is performed at the second opening and at a connection to another component by using encapsulation glue, for example, by using polyurethane glue. The housing 1 may further be made of a skin-friendly silicone rubber or a titanium alloy material, and is connected to another component by using a waterproof glue.
In actual application, the hand wearable apparatus may be further applied to the an area between a thumb and a forefinger (such as a Hegu point area), that is, a wearing part 10 is a wearing body, and the hand wearable apparatus is disposed on the wearing body. Preferably, the driving device 22 is disposed on the wearable body, and the electrode assembly 11 is disposed on the driving device 22, so as to directly drive, when the driving device 22 is driven, the electrode assembly 11 press the skin surface of the human body. In another embodiment, the electrode assembly 11 and the driving device 22 are disposed at approximately a relative position, or may drive the electrode assembly 11 to press the skin surface of the human body when the driving device 22 is driven.
In an embodiment of the wearable apparatus, the wearable apparatus may further include the controller 00 in an embodiment of the bracelet. The controller 00 may be fixed to the wearable body by using the housing 1, and the driving device 22 is disposed on the controller 00, which is the same as that in the bracelet.
Herein, when the user wears the wearable apparatus for the area between the thumb and the forefinger, that is, the electrode assembly 11 is close to the area between the thumb and the forefinger by using the driving device 22, and the Hegu point is a position that lets vitality of the human body pass and stay. By stimulating or massaging the area between the thumb and the forefinger, a function of calming and relieving pain, relaxing muscles and tendons, and an enhancing body resistance may be performed, and a good physical healing function is performed on the human body. In addition, by using the driving device 22, the electrode assembly 11 is squeezed into the skin surface of the human body, which can resolve a problem that electrode plates in an existing structure in which the Hegu point is electrically stimulated cannot be properly applied to the skin surface of the human body.
