Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical machinery, and particularly to a cervical opening monitoring system. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the cervical opening during pregnant women's delivery is examined by artificial fingers. Since the finger sizes of different doctors are different, the detected results vary. At the same time, doctors often need to frequently check before childbirth, which will cause a very poor experience for pregnant women and increase their pain and the risk of infection. Therefore, inventing an accurate prenatal detection instrument to replace manual finger examination has become a research direction in this field.

[0003] For example, the Chinese patent with the patent number CN202211239837.2 discloses a prenatal detection instrument and a detection system, which can be used to replace finger examination of the cervical opening and other situations. However, the detection instrument of this prior art collects information through a signal sensor, and the collected information needs to be converted before the signal can be transmitted via Bluetooth. Therefore, the signal conversion of the prior art is carried out inside the body. Since Bluetooth transmission is wireless transmission from inside the body to outside the body, there will be signal blockage, or because the position of the detection instrument is too deep to be transmitted, and the signal transmission is unstable.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art are committed to developing a cervical opening monitoring system that uses wired signal transmission with more stable signal transmission. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention discloses a cervical opening monitoring system, and the technical problem to be solved is to provide a cervical opening monitoring system that uses wired signal transmission with more stable signal transmission.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cervical opening monitoring system, including a detection head, a signal repeater, and a signal receiver. The detection head is internally provided with a camera for collecting cervical images; the signal receiver is connected to the computer terminal, and a cervical monitoring software is also set on the computer terminal. The cervical monitoring software provides a user interaction interface, and the detection head and the signal repeater are the acquisition ends. The detection head is connected with a cable, the cable is connected to the signal repeater, and the signal repeater provides the energy required by the detection head. The cable is connected to the signal repeater through a Type-c interface, and the signal is sent to the signal repeater through wired transmission. The signal receiver is used to receive the signal converted by the signal repeater. The signal receiver and the signal repeater use wireless transmission because both are outside the body, which can ensure the stability of transmission. The signal receiver is connected to the computer through a USB connector, and can receive the signal from the signal repeater through wireless transmission methods such as Bluetooth transmission, and display it on the computer monitor through the cervical monitoring software.

[0007] The specific working process is as follows: the cervical monitoring software automatically or manually sends a detection instruction to the signal receiver, and the signal receiver wirelessly forwards the instruction to the signal repeater. The signal repeater turns on the camera of the probe head to collect an image of the cervical opening. The probe head transmits the cervical opening image to the signal repeater via a wire. The signal repeater processes the cervical opening image, that is, performs AEC and AGC processing on the cervical opening image collected by the camera, and wirelessly sends the processed image data to the signal receiver; the signal receiver forwards the image data to the cervical monitoring software, and the cervical monitoring software performs image data processing, that is, the cervical monitoring software decodes and presents the received image data, and automatically calculates the width of the cervical opening.

[0008] Preferably, the cervical monitoring software processes the image data and calculates whether the width of the cervical opening meets the set conditions; when the width of the cervical opening meets the set conditions, the cervical detection software issues a prompt; when the width of the cervical opening does not meet the set conditions, the cervical detection software continues to monitor.
