Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical rehabilitation monitoring technology, and in particular to a measuring instrument for abdominal breathing function training. Background Technology

[0002] Abdominal breathing exercises are a widely recognized low-cost, non-invasive, and effective intervention in the medical field, capable of effectively improving various physiological and psychological health issues, particularly in respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological and psychological disorders. However, current exercises are typically performed by healthcare professionals assisting patients, requiring significant learning and personnel costs. Furthermore, the lack of concrete data to support these exercises hinders effective patient engagement. Existing self-administered training devices often only assess respiratory activity based on blood pressure and oxygen saturation changes, failing to adequately reflect the effects of abdominal breathing exercises and lacking corresponding reminder functions, thus failing to meet current user needs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an abdominal breathing function training measuring instrument, which solves the technical problems of existing technologies that cannot fully detect the effect of breathing exercises and cannot provide timely and effective exercise reminders. It achieves the technical effect of accurate detection of breathing effects and effective exercise assistance reminders.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:

[0005] An abdominal breathing function training and measuring device includes a mounting box and a central sensor module. The mounting box is generally rectangular with a mounting groove at one end. A touch screen is located inside the mounting groove. Elastic straps are located on both sides of the mounting box, and the ends of the elastic straps away from the mounting box have buckles for detachable connection. The central sensor module is located on the side of the mounting box away from the touch screen. The central sensor module includes a blood oxygen and blood pressure sensor and an abdominal position change sensor, used to identify changes in blood oxygen and blood pressure and changes in abdominal position when pressed against the patient's abdomen. A rubber protective sleeve is fitted on the outside of the central sensor module. The inner side of the rubber protective sleeve has multiple sets of partitions to improve the overall structural strength and fully conform to the abdomen.

[0006] As an improvement, a battery is fixed inside the mounting box, and a charging interface is located at the lower end of the mounting box near the battery. A data processing module is also fixed inside the mounting box, and the data processing module interacts with the touch screen and sensors via circuitry.

[0007] As an improvement, the upper part of the mounting box is equipped with a convenient button for directly controlling the start and pause of the device, and a control panel is provided below the touch screen for auxiliary independent control when worn.

[0008] As an improvement, the mounting box is symmetrically equipped with side abdominal sensors on both sides. The side abdominal sensors are located inside the elastic straps, and one side of the sensor is detachably connected to the elastic straps via a clip. The side of the side abdominal sensor away from the elastic straps has an arc-shaped groove, and a probe is fixed inside the arc-shaped groove. The upper end of the side abdominal sensor has a line that connects to the mounting box for transmitting data and supplying power.

[0009] As an improvement, the lateral abdominal sensor includes a heart rate sensor and a balance sensor. The heart rate sensor contacts the skin through a probe to sense the heart rate. The balance sensor is located inside the lateral abdominal sensor and is a gyroscope structure used to sense the usage angle of the lateral abdominal sensor and determine the current user's posture.

[0010] As an improvement, vibration reminder modules are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the central sensor module. Each vibration reminder module has a vibration motor inside, one end of which is connected to a rubber bulb. The outer side of the vibration reminder module is covered with a rubber sleeve for vibration reminder of the current device status.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the installation box and elastic straps facilitate wearing the device on the waist and abdomen, multiple sensors can be used for precise measurement, the touch screen structure facilitates operation, the central sensor module can accurately measure changes in abdominal position and blood pressure and oxygen data, and the heart rate and device balance data obtained by the lateral abdominal sensors can be used to determine whether the current breathing action meets the requirements. The vibration reminder module can effectively vibrate the diaphragm position, thereby reminding the user to exert force in the corresponding position, thus improving the overall exercise effect.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0017] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" in this application are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an abdominal breathing function training and measuring device includes a mounting box 1 and a central sensor module 9. The mounting box 1 is generally rectangular, with a mounting groove at one end. A touch screen 2 is located inside the mounting groove. Elastic straps 5 are located on both sides of the mounting box 1, with a buckle 7 at the end of each strap away from the mounting box 1 for detachable connection. The central sensor module 9 is located on the side of the mounting box 1 away from the touch screen 2. The central sensor module 9 includes a blood oxygen and blood pressure sensor and an abdominal position change sensor, used to identify changes in blood oxygen and blood pressure and abdominal position when held against the patient's abdomen. A rubber protective sleeve is fitted over the outer side of the central sensor module 9. The inner side of the rubber protective sleeve has multiple partitions to improve the overall structural strength and ensure a snug fit to the abdomen. Multiple ventilation holes are located inside the elastic straps 5 to facilitate heat dissipation from the skin during wear, improving overall comfort.

[0019] The mounting box 1 houses a battery, and a charging port is located near the battery at its lower end. A data processing module is also housed within the mounting box 1, interacting with the touchscreen 2 and sensors via wiring. A convenient button 4 is located at the top of the mounting box 1 for direct control of the device's start and stop. A control panel 3 is located below the touchscreen 2, providing auxiliary independent control during wear. The mounting box 1 can be fitted with a magnetic charging base, allowing for magnetic connection and assembly with the touchscreen 2, facilitating independent operation by holding the touchscreen 2.

[0020] The mounting box 1 has symmetrically arranged lateral abdominal sensors 6 on both sides. The lateral abdominal sensors 6 are located inside the elastic band 5, and one side is detachably connected to the elastic band 5 via a clip. The side of the lateral abdominal sensor 6 away from the elastic band 5 has an arc-shaped groove, and a probe is fixed inside the arc-shaped groove. The upper end of the lateral abdominal sensor 6 has a wire connecting to the mounting box 1 for data transmission and power supply. The lateral abdominal sensor 6 includes a heart rate sensor and a balance sensor. The heart rate sensor contacts the skin through its probe to sense the heart rate. The balance sensor, located inside the lateral abdominal sensor 6, is a gyroscope structure used to sense the angle of use of the lateral abdominal sensor 6 and determine the user's posture. The lateral abdominal sensor 6 can be adjusted in position; it should be placed below the ribs, close to the heart, for detection.

[0021] The central sensor module 9 is symmetrically flanked by vibration alert modules 8. Each vibration alert module 8 contains a vibration motor, one end of which is connected to a rubber bulb. A rubber sleeve covers the outer side of each vibration alert module 8 to provide vibration alerts for the current device status. The mounting box 1 can be equipped with a voice alert module, which can provide encouragement and adjust movements via voice after the device recognizes exercise data, thereby improving the exercise effect.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, during use, the mounting box 1 can be positioned directly opposite the abdominal cavity via the opening 7 and elastic strap 5, while the vibration reminder module 8 is positioned against the diaphragm. At this time, the central sensor module 9 will be located below the diaphragm and above the navel, while the lateral abdominal sensor 6 can be manually adjusted to face the lateral ribs. During breathing exercises, the diaphragm exerts force, causing the abdominal cavity to bulge. The corresponding sensors of the central sensor module 9 and the lateral abdominal sensor 6 will recognize the positional changes and simultaneously record blood oxygen, blood pressure, and heart rate data in real time. During this process, the balance sensor in the lateral abdominal sensor will recognize the current state of the waist and abdomen, identifying whether the user is sitting or lying down, and thus recalling pre-stored suggestions to assist with exercise reminders. If an abnormal posture or breathing movement is detected, the corresponding data recognition and processing module will perform a side data judgment. If the data is outside the preset range, an abnormal state alarm will be activated, and the vibration reminder module 8 will provide a reminder to help change the exercise exertion method, thereby altering the overall user experience.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
