In this process, the indicator ring can stop at the deepest position of the counterweight block's downward movement under the abutment of the abutment bar. By adjusting the positions of the corresponding scale lines of the indicator ring at the same position multiple times, the patient's abdominal muscle tension can be intuitively compared, thereby reducing sensory errors.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments.

[0030] Unless expressly stated otherwise, throughout the specification and claims, the term "comprise" or variations such as "include" or "comprising", etc., will be understood to include the stated elements or components but not to exclude other elements or other components.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-10 The abdominal muscle tension measurement device of the present invention comprises a base plate 1 with lugs 13 at each end. The base plate 1 is entirely made of silicone rubber, ensuring that the base plate 1 does not directly irritate the patient when attached to the patient's abdomen. Lugs 13 are provided with transparent positioning holes 14. After attaching the base plate 1 to the patient's abdomen, the patient's abdominal skin is marked with a marker at each of the two positioning holes 14. This secures the base plate 1 against the patient's abdomen, achieving fixed-point measurement and reducing the possibility of inconsistent measurement data due to different measurement locations.

[0032] In the present invention, a gripping structure 2 is mounted on the top surface of the base plate 1. The gripping structure 2 comprises a vertical tube 21 fixed to the top surface of the base plate and a top cover 22 threadedly connected to the top of the vertical tube 21. A groove 11 is formed on the top surface of the base plate 1, and a through hole 12 is formed at the bottom of the groove 11. The vertical tube 21 is a cylindrical structure, and a sleeve cavity 211 is formed inside the vertical tube 21. The sleeve cavity 211 is transparent from top to bottom. A flange 213 is integrally formed on the outer edge of the bottom end of the vertical tube 21. The flange 213 is embedded in the groove 11, so that the vertical tube 21 is installed in the groove 11 via the flange 213, and the sleeve cavity 211 can be aligned with the through hole 12.

[0033] Specifically, an internal thread 212 is provided on the inner wall of the top end of the sleeve cavity 211, and a boss 221 is provided at the bottom end of the top cover 22. The outer surface of the boss 221 is threaded, and the thread shape on the outer side of the boss 221 matches the shape of the internal thread 212, so that the top cover 22 is connected to the top thread of the vertical cylinder 21 through the boss 221, thereby achieving the purpose of facilitating the installation of the top cover 22.

[0034] Furthermore, a measuring structure 3 is sleeved in the holding structure 2, and the measuring structure 3 includes a measuring rod 31, a counterweight block 32 installed at the bottom end of the measuring rod 31, and an indicator ring 33 sleeved on the periphery of the measuring rod 31. A sleeve hole 222 is opened at the top of the top cover 22, and the bottom end of the measuring rod 31 passes through the sleeve hole 222, so that the bottom end of the measuring rod 31 slides through the top cover 22 and extends into the interior of the vertical cylinder 21, so that the bottom end of the measuring rod 31 extends to the inner bottom end of the sleeve cavity 211.

[0035] In addition, an observation slot 223 is provided on the top cover 22, and the observation slot 223 is connected to the sleeve hole 222. Scale lines 311 are engraved on the outer surface of the measuring rod 31, so that medical staff can observe the measuring rod 31 sleeved in the sleeve hole 222 from the outside of the top cover 22, thereby recording the reading of the scale line 311 value.

[0036] It is noteworthy that the bottom end of the measuring rod 31 is provided with a threaded post 312. The counterweight 32 is cylindrical in structure. The top end of the counterweight 32 has a threaded hole 321. The threaded post 312 extends into the threaded hole 321 and is threadedly connected to the counterweight 32, allowing the counterweight 32 to be easily installed on the bottom end of the measuring rod 31. A lifting rod 314 is fixed to the top end of the measuring rod 31. By lifting the lifting rod 314, the lifting rod 314 can cause the counterweight 32 to move along the sleeve cavity 211.

[0037] It is worth noting that flat openings 322 are provided on the left and right surfaces of the counterweight block 32, and protruding ridges 214 are provided on the left and right inner walls of the sleeve cavity 211. The position of the flat openings 322 corresponds to the position of the ridges 214. Under the restriction of the ridges 214, the counterweight block 32 is restricted inside the vertical cylinder 21 to prevent the counterweight block 32 from rotating horizontally in the vertical cylinder 21, so that the position of the scale line 311 can always correspond to the position of the observation slot 223, so that medical staff can observe and read the scale line 311 from the position of the observation slot 223.

[0038] In addition, the indicator ring 33 is an annular sheet structure made of plastic, which makes it elastic. The indicator ring 33 is located above the top cover 22. A pair of elastic abutments 331 are provided at the inner edge of the indicator ring 33. Guide grooves 313 are defined on the left and right surfaces of the measuring rod 31. The ends of the two abutments 331 are respectively inserted into the two guide grooves 313 and abut against the bottoms of the guide grooves 313. In the absence of external force, the abutment of the abutments 331 can prevent the indicator ring 33 from being fixed to the outer surface of the measuring rod 31.

[0039] When the lifting rod 314 is lifted upward, the counterweight 32 moves upward along the sleeve cavity 211 and touches the top cover 22, and the indicator ring 33 is pushed to the bottom of the measuring rod 31 and falls on the top surface of the top cover 22. After releasing the lifting rod 314, the counterweight 32 is driven downward by gravity to move toward the patient's abdomen, causing the patient's abdominal muscles to be compressed and depressed and restored. During the recovery of the abdominal muscles, the counterweight 32 is rebounded, and the bottom end of the counterweight 32 contacts the patient's abdominal muscles and moves downward under the impact and is bounced back. The indicator ring 33 can stop at the deepest position of the counterweight 32 downward movement under the abutment of the abutment bar 331. By reading the corresponding scale line 311 of the indicator ring 33 at the same position multiple times, an intuitive comparison of the patient's abdominal muscle tension can be made, avoiding sensory errors.

[0040] The working principle of the abdominal muscle tension measuring device of the present invention is specifically as follows:

[0041] First, fit the bottom plate 1 to the patient's abdomen, and align the positioning hole 14 on the bottom plate 1 with the mark made on the patient's abdominal skin with a marker to achieve the purpose of fixed-point measurement; then the medical staff lifts the lifting rod 314 upwards, so that the counterweight 32 moves upward along the sleeve cavity 211 and touches the top cover 22, and then moves the indicator ring piece 33 to the bottom of the measuring rod 31, and loosens the lifting rod 314, so that the counterweight 32 drives the lifting rod 314 downwards under the action of gravity to move toward the patient's abdomen. At this time, under the resistance of the top cover 22, the indicator ring piece 33 can move along the surface of the measuring rod 31, and finally the patient The patient's abdominal muscles are compressed and concave and then recover, causing the counterweight 32 to be pressed down and then bounced back. In the process of the bottom end of the counterweight 32 contacting the patient's abdominal muscles and moving downward under the impact and being bounced up, the indicator ring 33 can stop at the deepest position of the counterweight 32 when it is abutted by the abutment bar 331. When the counterweight 32 is at the deepest position of the downward movement, the indicator ring 33 is at the position on the measuring rod 31 at this time, which is the value to be read. By taking the readings of the indicator ring 33 corresponding to the scale line 311 at the same position multiple times, an intuitive comparison of the patient's abdominal muscle tension can be made, which can avoid sensory errors.
