DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiment of the present application will be described in more detail below in combination with the drawings in the preferred embodiment of the present application. In the drawings, the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar parts or parts with the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0025] As shown in Figures 1-3 The present application provides a buckle type rheumatoid arthritis detection device, which comprises a finger fixing sleeve 1, a buckle type flexible detection device 2 is installed at the lower joint of each of the five fingers of the finger fixing sleeve 1, the buckle type flexible detection device 2 comprises a fixing belt 8, a base 9 is fixedly installed at the middle part of the fixing belt 8, a flexible sensor 5 is fixedly installed on the base 9, the flexible sensor 5 is connected with a miniature main circuit board 4, and the miniature main circuit board 4 is fixedly installed on the back of the hand of the finger fixing sleeve 1.

[0026] It should be noted that, in use, the finger fixing sleeve 1 is worn on the patient's hand, the lower end surface of the middle part of the fixing band 8 is fixed on the finger fixing sleeve 1, and the upper end surface of the middle part of the fixing band 8 is fixedly installed with the base 9, and the base 9 is composed of an elastic polymer layer, so that the base 9 can be deformed with the sensor.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1-3 , the flexible sensor 5 includes a second flexible temperature sensor 10, a resistance type flexible pressure sensor 11, and a capacitive type flexible pressure sensor 12, which are respectively connected with the micro main circuit board 4.

[0028] It should be noted that, by using the detection device of the present application, the buckle type flexible detection device 2 is respectively installed at the joints of the five fingers of the finger fixing sleeve 1, when the wearer completes the specified action, the resistance type flexible pressure sensor 11 on the flexible sensor 5 arranged at the joint is stretched and deformed, at this time, the resistance value of the resistance type flexible pressure sensor 11 also changes, that is, the change amount of the resistance value corresponds to the stretching deformation amount. The bending amplitude of the joint of each finger is related to the bending and stretching deformation amount of the resistance type flexible pressure sensor 11, so as to realize the detection of the activity of the above-mentioned finger part.

[0029] It should be noted that, by using the detection device of the present application, the capacitive type flexible pressure sensor 12 is arranged, when the wearer's joint is swollen, the medium layer of the capacitive type flexible pressure sensor 12 changes obviously under the action of external pressure, which causes the dielectric properties of the medium material to change, at the same time, the capacitive type flexible pressure sensor 12 is elastically deformed under the action of pressure, the displacement of the two electrode plates causes the change of the relative area of the two electrode plates and the distance between the two electrode plates, thereby causing the change of the capacitance of the capacitive type flexible pressure sensor 12, and further causing the change of the electric signal. The pressure at each joint is related to the electric signal of the capacitive type flexible pressure sensor 12, so as to realize the detection of the pressure of the above-mentioned finger part.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1 , the first flexible temperature sensor 3 is arranged on the proximal phalanx of the five fingers of the finger fixing sleeve 1.

[0031] It should be noted that the first flexible temperature sensor 3 and the second flexible temperature sensor 10 are arranged at the proximal phalanx and the proximal interphalangeal joint respectively. When the patient wears the buckle type rheumatoid arthritis detection device, the increase of temperature enhances the thermal vibration of the lattice of the sensitive material of the first flexible temperature sensor 3 and the second flexible temperature sensor 10, resulting in strong scattering of the electron wave, thereby increasing the resistivity, and then realizing the detection of the temperature of the above-mentioned finger part. By observing the temperature difference of the two temperature sensors, when the temperature at the proximal interphalangeal joint is more than 0.5℃ lower than the temperature at the proximal phalanx, it indicates that the wearer may have rheumatoid arthritis.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1-3 , the first flexible temperature sensor 3, the second flexible temperature sensor 10, the resistance type flexible pressure sensor 11 and the capacitance type flexible pressure sensor 12 are connected with the micro main circuit board 4 through the conductive copper foil sticker 6.

[0033] It should be noted that the first flexible temperature sensor 3 and the second flexible temperature sensor 10 monitor the finger temperature information and send it to the micro main circuit board 4, and the resistance type flexible pressure sensor 11 and the capacitance type flexible pressure sensor 12 monitor the pressure change when the finger joint is deformed and send it to the micro main circuit board 4 to obtain the pressure when the joint is swollen. Since the diseased joint usually has joint swelling and lower temperature at the joint, the degree of rheumatoid arthritis is diagnosed by analyzing the joint pressure, activity and temperature.

[0034] It should be noted that by comparing the activity, swelling degree and temperature value of the finger part of the normal population, when the difference between the detection value of the wearer and the normal value is greater than five percent of the normal value, it indicates that the wearer may have rheumatoid arthritis, that is, the possible sick population can be simply screened out.

[0035] As shown in Figure 3 , the fixing belt 8 adopts a magic tape.

[0036] It should be noted that the fixing belt 8 adopts a magic tape, and the degree of tightness of the magic tape is adjusted to adjust the fitting degree of the buckle type flexible detection device 2 and the joint. When in use, the tightness of the magic tape is taken as the standard that a wooden stick with a diameter of three millimeters can be put in.

[0037] As shown in Figure 3 , a scale 7 is arranged on the fixing belt 8.

[0038] It should be noted that the circumference of the patient's finger is measured by the scale 7 on the fixing belt 8, and the degree of finger swelling is judged by the finger circumference in different time periods, and then the degree of disease is inferred.

[0039] As shown in Figure 4As shown, the micro main circuit board 4 includes an information acquisition module 13, an information processing module 14, a wireless module 15, and a power module 16. The information acquisition module 13 is electrically connected to the information processing module 14. The information processing module 14 is connected to an external terminal through the wireless module 15. The power module 16 is electrically connected to the information acquisition module 13, the information processing module 14, and the wireless module 15, respectively.

[0040] It should be noted that the first flexible temperature sensor 3, the second flexible temperature sensor 10, the resistive flexible pressure sensor 11, and the capacitive flexible pressure sensor 12 are respectively connected to the information acquisition module 13 through the conductive copper foil sticker 6. The information collected by the information acquisition module 13 is converted into an electrical signal by the information processing module 14, and is finally output in the form of display by an external terminal.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1-4 The wireless module 15 is one of ZigBee, Wifi, and Bluetooth.

[0042] It should be noted that the information processing module 14 is connected to an external terminal through the wireless module 15. The external terminal displays the monitoring signals of the first flexible temperature sensor 3, the second flexible temperature sensor 10, the resistive flexible pressure sensor 11, and the capacitive flexible pressure sensor 12, and the signals processed by the micro main circuit board 4. The external terminal of the buckle type flexible detection device 2 is one of a mobile phone, a tablet computer, and a notebook computer.

[0043] As shown in Figure 4 The power module 16 is one of a button cell, a flexible battery, and a micro battery.

[0044] It should be noted that the power module 16 provides power for the information acquisition module 13, the information processing module 14, and the wireless module 15.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1-2 The finger fixing sleeve 1 is provided in three different sizes.

[0046] It should be noted that the finger fixing sleeve 1 is provided in three different sizes to meet the wearing needs of different patients.

[0047] The buckle type rheumatoid arthritis detection device provided by the application increases the flexibility and comfort of the swollen or deformed joint of the wearer by wearing the finger fixing sleeve 1 on the patient's hand, setting the buckle type flexible detection device 2 with adjustable tightness under the joint of the finger of the finger fixing sleeve 1, setting the flexible sensor 5 on the buckle type flexible detection device 2, and monitoring the temperature, activity and pressure of the finger joint part in real time through the first flexible temperature sensor 3 and the second flexible temperature sensor 10, the resistance type flexible pressure sensor 11 and the capacitance type flexible pressure sensor 12 on the flexible sensor 5. The degree of rheumatoid arthritis is diagnosed by combining temperature, activity and pressure, the detection method is relatively simple, and real-time monitoring can be realized.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the application, and not to limit them; although the application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the application.
