A cylindrical shaft 6 is respectively disposed on both sides of the bottom of the folding housing 1, and the folding housing 1 is connected to the lower housing 2 via these cylindrical shafts 6. Wherein:

[0028] The resistance plate 5 is a circuit board on which a measuring tube 4, resistors 8, a first resistance wire 7, and a second resistance wire 9 are mounted. Several small holes 10 are provided on both sides of the measuring tube 4, and the holes 10 on both sides are staggered, meaning they are not on the same horizontal line. The measuring tube 4 is located at the center of the resistance plate 5. The first end of the first resistance wire 7 is inserted into and sealed in the bottommost small hole 10 on one side of the measuring tube 4; the second end of the first resistance wire 7 is connected to the measurement control module. Except for the bottommost small hole 10, resistors 8 are respectively installed in the small holes 10 on both sides of the measuring tube 4. The first end of each resistor 8 is mounted on the side wall of the measuring tube 4 through the small hole 10, and the first end of the resistor 8 seals the small hole 10; the second end of each resistor 8 is connected in parallel to one end of the second resistance wire 9, and the other end of the second resistance wire 9 is connected to the measurement control module.

[0029] Preferably, the measuring tube 4 is a long straight glass tube, and the top of the measuring tube 4 is a sealed end, and the bottom is provided with a right-angled measuring tube lower inlet 12.

[0030] Preferably, the vertical distance between the small holes 10 on the same side of the measuring tube 4 is 2 mm. Since the small holes 10 on both sides of the measuring tube 4 are not on the same horizontal line, the vertical distance between adjacent small holes 10 on both sides of the measuring tube 4 is preferably 1 mm.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1A , Figure 2B and Figure 4As shown, the measurement control module includes an operation control board 13, wires 14, an air pump 15, a four-way pressure guide tube 16, a mercury tank 17, a pressure guide tube 18, a strap 19, an exhaust head 20, and a battery pack 21.

The operation board 131 and the control board 132 are connected via wires 14 and exchange information. The control board 132 is connected to the second end of the first resistance wire 7 and the other end of the second resistance wire 9 in the measurement display module. The outlet of the air pump 15 is connected to the first end of the four-way pressure guide tube 16, and the micro motor of the air pump 15 is connected to the control board 132 via wires 14.

The third end of the four-way pressure guide tube 16 is connected to the strap 19, and the fourth end is connected to the exhaust head 20. The battery pack 21 is connected to the control board 132 via the wire 14 to supply power to the control board 132; preferably, the DC voltage of the battery pack 21 is 5V.

[0032] Preferably, the mercury tank 17 has a three-layer structure: an upper layer is a gas collecting chamber 171, a middle layer is a latex diaphragm 172, and a lower layer is a mercury tank 173 containing mercury liquid 174 as the measuring medium. The gas collecting chamber 171 and the mercury tank 173 are isolated by the latex diaphragm 172. An inlet 175 is provided on the side wall of the gas collecting chamber 171, which is connected to the second end of the four-way pressure guiding pipe 16. An outlet 176 is provided on the side wall of the mercury tank 173, which is connected to the first end of the pressure guiding pipe 18.

[0033] Preferably, the air pump 15 is a miniature electric air pump. The strap 19 is a hollow bag for binding the arm.

[0034] Preferably, the exhaust head 20 is formed by connecting two cylinders of different thicknesses to create a hollow channel, and a partition is provided at the connection point of the two cylinders, with multiple micro-holes on the partition serving as exhaust ports.

[0035] Preferably, the operation panel 131 is equipped with a display screen and operation buttons.

[0036] Preferably, the operation control panel 13 is installed at the lowest end inside the lower housing 2, the battery pack 21 is installed at the rear of the operation control panel 13, the air pump 15 and the mercury tank 17 are installed at the upper part inside the lower housing 2, and the strap 19 is installed at the middle part inside the lower housing 2.

[0037] In the above embodiment, a charging port 22 is provided on the side wall of the lower housing 2, and the battery pack 21 is charged through the charging port 22.

[0038] In the above embodiments, a shaft hole 23 is provided on both sides of the upper end of the lower housing 2. The shaft hole 23 is fitted with the cylindrical shaft 6 on the folding housing 13 to connect the folding housing 13 to the lower housing 2.

[0039] In the above embodiments, the angle between the folding housing 1 and the lower housing 2 is 90 degrees. The resistance value of each resistor 8 disposed within the folding housing 1 is preferably 10000 ohms.

[0040] In summary, when using this invention, the folding housing 1 needs to be rotated from a horizontal position to a vertical position before the instrument is operated. First, the folding housing 1 is erected, and then the strap 19 is tied to the arm. The operation is started via the control panel 131, the control panel 132 is turned on, and the air pump 15 is started. The air pump 15 pressurizes the strap 19 and the mercury tank 17, and the gas in the mercury tank 17 compresses the mercury liquid 174 in the mercury trough 173, causing the mercury liquid 174 to be output from the pressure guide tube 18 to the measuring tube 4. The mercury liquid 174 in the measuring tube 4 rises continuously, and at the same time, the mercury liquid 174 continuously conducts the resistance 8 on both sides of the measuring tube 4, and the current in the measuring circuit 11 also changes accordingly and is transmitted to the control panel 132. When the mercury liquid 174 in the measuring tube 4 rises to its highest level, the air pump 15 stops pumping air, and the exhaust head 20 continuously exhausts air (the air pump 15 is also exhausting air while pumping air). The mercury liquid 174 in the measuring tube 4 continuously decreases. When it decreases to the human blood pressure area, the mercury liquid 174 in the measuring tube 4 fluctuates drastically. The current in the measuring circuit 11 also fluctuates drastically. The control board 132 obtains the human blood pressure value, heart rate, and pulse strength by measuring the upper and lower limits of the drastic fluctuations in the current in the measuring circuit 11 and the frequency of the fluctuations. The values ​​are then displayed on the operation board 131 and announced via voice.

[0041] The current in measuring circuit 11 is obtained by dividing the voltage by the resistance. The relationship between current and blood pressure is as follows:

[0042]

[0043] The measurement process of mercury liquid 174 is as follows: mercury liquid 174 rises uniformly from the lowest point of measuring tube 4 to the highest point of measuring tube 4, and then falls uniformly from the highest point of measuring tube 4 to the lowest point of measuring tube 4. During this process, mercury liquid 174 goes from connecting the lowest resistance 8 of measuring tube 4 to connecting the highest resistance 8 of measuring tube 4, and then from disconnecting the highest resistance 8 of measuring tube 4 to disconnecting the lowest resistance 8 of measuring tube 4.

[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention. The structure, size, setting position and shape of each component can be changed. Based on the technical solution of the present invention, any improvement and equivalent transformation of individual components made according to the principle of the present invention should not be excluded from the protection scope of the present invention.
