Problems solved by technology

However, this method cannot be well applied in the actual clinical manipulation process. First, it is difficult for clinicians to locate the pacing position that promotes intestinal peristalsis. Secondly, it is inconvenient to use and requires on-site manipulation and monitoring by clinicians.
[0007] In addition, some electronic capsules use vibration to stimulate the intestinal wall, but they need to be powered by an external radio frequency device, and the vibration frequency of the capsule cannot be effectively controlled
[0008] The electronic capsules in the prior art need to control the vibration of the device through an external trigger to achieve the purpose of stimulating intestinal peristalsis, but cannot independently detect intestinal peristalsis, and control the vibration frequency of the device according to the actual intestinal peristalsis

Embodiment 1

[0048] see figure 1 , the intelligent vibrating electronic capsule proposed by the present invention includes a housing 1 , a vibration module 11 , a power supply module 12 and a control module 13 . The vibration module 11 , the power module 12 and the control module 13 are arranged in the casing 1 .

[0049]The power supply module 12 provides electric energy for the vibration module 11 and the control module 13 . The vibration module 11 can generate vibrations, thereby making the electronic capsule vibrate. Further, the control module 13 includes a microcontroller and a detection device for automatically detecting the intestinal peristalsis speed, the microcontroller controls the start and stop of the vibration module, and controls the vibration module 11 according to the intestinal peristalsis speed detected by the detection device vibration frequency. In this way, the electronic capsule vibrates in the human digestive tract, stimulates the intestinal wall, accelerates th...

Embodiment 2

[0078] Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described below.

[0079] Compared with Embodiment 1, this Embodiment 2 replaces the acceleration sensor 20 in Embodiment 1 with a pressure sensor, and, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the structure of embodiment two also has the following characteristics:

[0080] The shell 1 includes an outer shell 22 and an inner tank 18, the outer shell 22 is made of an elastic acid-base resistant material, which can be deformed under the extrusion of the intestinal tract, and the inner tank 18 is made of an inorganic polymer material;

[0081] A pressure sensor is installed between the shell 22 and the liner 18 to detect pressure changes applied by the intestinal wall;

[0082] The vibration module 11 , the power module 12 and the control module 13 are located in the inner container 18 .

[0083] Such as Figure 6 As shown, a cylindrical casing 22 with a diameter of 12 mm, a length of 26 mm, and a certain arc surface at both ends...

Embodiment 3

[0105] Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described below.

[0106] see Figure 9 , compared with Embodiments 1 and 2, this Embodiment 3 uses both an acceleration sensor and a pressure sensor, and also adopts the structure of an inner tank and an outer shell used in the second embodiment. For the device structure of the third embodiment, reference may be made to the above descriptions in the first and second embodiments, and for the sake of brevity, specific descriptions are omitted here.

[0107] Briefly illustrate the working process of the electronic capsule of this embodiment three below:

[0108] When the electronic capsule is not in use, it is placed in a box with a permanent magnet. Under the action of the permanent magnet, the magnetic switch 7 is in an off state. At this time, the battery 8 cannot be connected to the battery plate 6, and the vibration module 11 cannot be used. And the control module 13 provides power.

[0109] When the electronic capsule...

Abstract

The invention provides an intelligent vibrating electronic capsule. The electronic capsule comprises a shell, a vibrating module, a power module and a control module, wherein the vibrating module, the power module and the control module are arranged in the shell; the power module supplies electric energy to the vibrating module and the control module; the vibrating module can vibrate to make the electronic capsule vibrate; the control module comprises a microcontroller and a detector for automatically detecting the intestinal tract peristalsis speed; the microcontroller controls start and stop of the vibrating module and controls the vibrating frequency of the vibrating module according to the intestinal tract peristalsis speed detected through the detector. The intelligent vibrating electronic capsule can vibrate in a reciprocating mode in the human intestinal tract, dynamically detect the peristalsis condition of the intestinal tract and control the vibrating frequency according to the peristalsis condition of the intestinal tract; the intestinal wall is stimulated by vibration, acceleration of intestinal tract peristalsis is promoted, and therefore symptoms of slow transit constipation are relieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to medical equipment, in particular to a vibrating electronic capsule. Background technique [0002] Constipation is a common disease, and a lot of research has been done on treating constipation and relieving constipation symptoms at home and abroad. [0003] An existing device for treating constipation is firstly inserted into the rectum during use, and then the device is activated to treat constipation by means of electrical stimulation. This method is poorly tolerated, generally difficult for patients to accept and long-term use, and can only effectively address the symptoms of "exit obstruction type" constipation. [0004] There is also a treatment device that uses external vibration massage to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and relieve constipation symptoms. Use it against your belly or on your buttocks. However, the treatment effect of this method is slow and not obvious, and may not be able to effectively promote ...
