Abstract

This paper presents the findings of the research and design of a heat generating thermal prosthetic sleeve. The goal of the project was to get the sleeve to be designed in a way that keeps a comfortable temperature of the amputation site. Heat transfer analysis as well as comfort tests were used to select the optimal materials for the body of the sleeve. A series of electrical tests using multimeters were used to determine which heating element should be used, as well as in which orientation they should be connected. A microcontroller system had also to be selected to give the sleeve some adjustability.
用于假肢的温度调节套筒
本文介绍了一种发热热假肢套的研究与设计结果。该项目的目标是使套管的设计能够保持截肢部位的舒适温度。通过传热分析和舒适性试验,对套筒本体材料进行了优选。使用万用表进行了一系列电气测试,以确定应该使用哪种加热元件,以及它们应该在哪个方向上连接。还必须选择一个微控制器系统,使套筒具有一定的可调节性。
