[0028] The following describes several preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the specification, so that the technical content is clearer and easier to understand. The present invention can be embodied in many different forms of embodiments, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments mentioned in the text.

[0029] In the drawings, components with the same structure are indicated by the same numerical reference numerals, and components with similar structures or functions are indicated by similar numerical reference numerals. The size and thickness of each component shown in the drawings are arbitrarily shown, and the present invention does not limit the size and thickness of each component. In order to make the illustration clearer, the thickness of the components is appropriately exaggerated in some places in the drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the male erectile function detection device of the present invention. The housing 1 forms a ring-shaped structure, and the ring formed in the middle is a wearing hole 6. When in use, the entire detection device is mounted on the male genitals through the wearing hole 6. The control module and the sensing module are arranged inside the housing 1, and the switch 4 passes through the housing 1 and is connected to the control module to turn on or off the detection device.

[0031] The housing 1 is made of an elastic and retractable material, such as a material with good elasticity and touch, such as silicone, so that it is not only retractable but also more comfortable to wear. After being worn on the male genitals, the surface of the wearing hole 6 can fit closely on the surface of the male genitals and can expand and contract synchronously with the male genitals. The sensing module senses or measures at the same time, and the control module processes or records the data sensed by the sensing module, thereby obtaining information such as the number of erections, duration, and degree of expansion.

[0032] like Figure 2 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the internal structure of an embodiment of the male erectile function detection device of the present invention when the shell is cut open. The control module includes a control box 3, and the sensing module includes a conductor 5. The conductor 5 is a conductive material that can be stretched and contracted, and is arranged around the wearing hole 6, so that it can be stretched and contracted accordingly with the expansion and contraction of the male genitals. With the stretching and contraction, certain electrical properties of the conductor 5 can change accordingly, such as its resistance value increases and decreases accordingly. By measuring this change, the state of the male genitals can be qualitatively or quantitatively reflected. The conductor 5 can be made of various materials.

[0033] The conductor 5 can be arranged in a U shape, and the two ends of the U shape are connected to the collection circuit in the control box 3 through the electrode 2 to form a current loop. When the detection device is running, the expansion and contraction of the male genitals drive the extension and contraction of the conductor 5, and the collection circuit in the control box 3 can measure the state and degree of expansion and contraction of the male genitals through the change of the current loop caused by the change of the resistance value of the conductor 5. The corresponding threshold can be set to indicate the erection state of the male genitals, and the duration and number of erections can be recorded. For example, when the expansion degree of the male genitals exceeds a certain degree or threshold, it is determined to enter the erection state; after maintaining the erection state for a period of time, when the expansion degree is lower than a certain degree or threshold, it is determined to exit the erection state, which can be recorded as an erection. At the same time, the start time, end time and duration of the erection process can be obtained for each erection, as well as the expansion degree of the male genitals during the erection process and its change process, etc., which can fully and accurately measure and reflect the activity of the male genitals in the entire cycle (such as a whole night).

[0034] like Figure 3 The figure shows a front cross-sectional view of the housing of an embodiment of the male erectile function detection device of the present invention. The housing 1 is a cavity structure, and an electrode mounting groove 10, a control box mounting groove 11 and a conductor mounting groove 12 are provided inside. The control box 3 is installed in the control box mounting groove 11 of the housing 1, the conductor 5 is installed in the conductor mounting groove 12, and the electrode 2 is installed in the electrode mounting groove 10.

[0035] like Figure 4The figure shows a schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of an embodiment of the male erectile function detection device of the present invention. The control box 3 is provided with a contact electrode 8, one end of the electrode 2 contacts the conductor 5, and the other end contacts the contact electrode 8 in the control box 3, thereby connecting the conductor 5 with the acquisition circuit in the control box 3. The housing 1 is also provided with a housing switch port 7, and the control box 3 is provided with a control box switch port 9 at a position corresponding to the housing switch port 7. The switch 4 passes through the housing switch port 7 and the control box switch port 9, and is connected to the circuit in the control box 3, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the entire detection device.

[0036] Furthermore, the switch 4 can be set as a disposable switch, so that the entire detection device can be used as a disposable device, which can be thrown away after use, is easy to use, and is more hygienic. Specifically, it can be set that when not in use, the switch 4 is in an inserted state, connected to the control box 3 through the shell switch port 7 and the control box switch port 9, and disconnects the connection between the battery in the control box 3 and the circuit; when in use, the switch 4 is pulled out, so that the battery in the control box 3 is connected to the circuit, and the detection device starts to run and continuously senses. The disposable switch 4 can be implemented in various forms.

[0037] The control box 3 may also include a wireless transmission module, which can send the data collected by the acquisition circuit in real time to an external device, such as a mobile phone, a server, or other general or special equipment, by wireless means, so as to measure and record the number, duration, and swelling degree of male genital erections. The use of wireless communication can make wearing and use simpler, more flexible, and more comfortable, without affecting the user's rest at night.

[0038] When used before going to bed at night, the detection device is sleeved on the male genitals of the user through the wearing hole 6, and then the switch 4 is turned on or pulled out to start the detection device, and the user can fall asleep normally. During sleep, the detection device automatically senses and records the number of erections, duration, swelling degree and other information of the male genitals, and can wirelessly transmit this information to an external device. After getting up in the morning, the user takes off the detection device and can view the recorded information through the detection device or external device, and can also further count or process this information.

[0039] The detection device provided by the present invention has a simple structure, low cost, easy operation, good comfort and privacy, and is very suitable for personal and family use.

[0040] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. It should be understood that a person skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes based on the concept of the present invention without creative work. Therefore, any technical solution that can be obtained by a person skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the concept of the present invention on the basis of the prior art should be within the scope of protection determined by the claims.
