Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of alarm device technology, specifically a wrist-type position sensing alarm device. Background Technology

[0002] In special wards, such as psychiatric wards, patients wear specific wristbands during hospitalization. Nowadays, all procedures involve verifying the identity of patients using these wristbands. The wristbands are also equipped with alarm devices. If a patient leaves a certain area of ​​the hospital or goes to dangerous areas, the alarm device will automatically sound an alarm to prevent the patient from leaving the hospital. The alarm will also notify the nearest medical staff through the medical care platform so that nearby people can provide assistance.

[0003] However, existing wristbands are usually secured with clips, which patients can easily remove, resulting in the alarm device being discarded and thus failing to provide accurate alarms. Summary of the Invention

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] This invention uses a wristband to wear the bracelet on the patient's wrist, and a locking component to limit the first and second connecting blocks to prevent the bracelet from falling off. Furthermore, the disassembly component requires the use of a specific tool to remove the first and second connecting blocks, preventing the patient from directly disassembling and discarding the bracelet. This ensures that the bracelet can provide real-time location alerts and prevents the patient from getting lost.

[0023] By bringing the first connecting block and the second connecting block close together, the connecting post is aligned with the slot and inserted into the slot. When the card block on the connecting post contacts the carding plate, the carding plate is moved into the storage slot. At this time, the carding plate stretches the pull rope. After a card block passes the carding plate, the stretched top holding block drives the carding plate to reset. Similarly, the connecting post is fully inserted into the slot, thus completing the connection between the first connecting block and the second connecting block. Limiting can be completed simply by plugging in, which makes it easier for the patient to wear the wristband body.

[0024] When disassembly is required, a specific tool is inserted into the rotating groove, and then the adjusting block is turned. The adjusting block causes the traction rope to rewind, which in turn causes the limiting block to disengage from the limiting groove and enter the limiting top groove, thus canceling the limitation on the pressing block. At this time, pressing the pressing block causes it to move the movable block toward the second spring through the adjusting groove, so that the abutment plate enters the limiting top groove. At this time, the abutment plate cancels the limitation on the top holding block, and the first spring pulls the top holding block toward the first spring, causing the locking plate to disengage from the locking block, thus canceling the limitation on the second connecting block. At this time, the first connecting block and the second connecting block can be separated. Specific tools are required to disassemble the first connecting block and the second connecting block to prevent the patient from directly disassembling the first connecting block and the second connecting block, thereby ensuring the safety alarm for the patient.

A sliding limiting block 35 is provided at the position of the top-holding block 14 corresponding to the sliding limiting groove 13. The sliding limiting block 35 is slidably disposed in the sliding limiting groove 13, and the first spring 12 is always in a stretched state. A movable cavity 19 is provided in the first connecting block 3. A movable block 21 is slidably disposed in the movable cavity 19. A second spring 20 is connected to the side of the movable block 21 away from the top-holding groove 11. The other end of the second spring 20 is connected to the movable cavity 19, and the second spring 20 is always in a compressed state. A supporting plate 34 is provided on the side of the movable block 21 near the top-holding groove 11. The supporting plate 34 passes through the first connecting block 3 and extends into the top-holding groove 11. A supporting inclined surface 3401 is provided on the side of the supporting plate 34 near the top-holding block 14.

[0040] A pressing block 7 is slidably disposed on the first connecting block 3. One end of the pressing block 7 can extend into the movable cavity 19. A sliding groove 23 is provided on the pressing block 7. A slider 24 is provided at the position of the sliding groove 23 on the first connecting block 3. The slider 24 is slidably disposed in the pressing block 7. An adjustment groove 22 is provided at the position of the movable block 21 corresponding to the pressing block 7. The cross-section of the adjustment groove 22 is a right-angled trapezoidal structure, and the inclined side of the trapezoid is far away from the top holding groove 11.

[0041] A limiting groove 25 is provided on the side of the pressing block 7 away from the slide groove 23. A limiting top groove 27 is provided in the first connecting block 3 at the position corresponding to the limiting groove 25. A limiting block 26 is slidably arranged in the limiting top groove 27. A third spring 28 is provided between the limiting block 26 and the limiting top groove 27. One end of the third spring 28 is connected to the limiting block 26, and the other end is connected to the limiting top groove 27. A limiting inclined surface 2601 is provided on the side of the limiting block 26 near the movable block 21.

[0042] A rotating drum 33 is rotatably mounted on the first connecting block 3, and a traction rope 29 is connected to the rotating drum 33. The other end of the traction rope 29 passes through the first connecting block 3 and is connected to the limiting block 26. An adjusting block 8 is rotatably mounted on the first connecting block 3, and the adjusting block 8 is connected to the rotating drum 33. A limiting rotating block 32 is provided on the outside of the adjusting block 8. A limiting rotating groove 31 is opened at the position of the limiting rotating block 32 on the first connecting block 3. The limiting rotating block 32 is slidably mounted in the limiting rotating groove 31. The cross-section of the limiting rotating block 32 and the limiting rotating groove 31 are both "T" shaped. A rotating groove 30 is opened on the adjusting block 8. The longitudinal section of the rotating groove 30 is an equilateral triangle.

[0043] By bringing the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4 close together, the connecting post 5 is aligned with the slot 10 and inserted into the slot 10. When the locking block 6 on the connecting post 5 contacts the positioning plate 15, the positioning plate 15 is moved into the storage slot 16. At this time, the positioning plate 15 stretches the pull rope 18. When a locking block 6 passes the positioning plate 15, the top holding block 14 in the stretched state drives the positioning plate 15 to reset. Similarly, the connecting post 5 is fully inserted into the slot 10, thus completing the connection between the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4. Limiting can be completed simply by plugging in, which makes it easier for the patient to wear the wristband body 1.

[0044] When disassembly is required, a specific tool is inserted into the rotating groove 30, and then the adjusting block 8 is turned. The adjusting block 8 drives the traction rope 29 to rewind, thereby causing the limiting block 26 to disengage from the limiting groove 25 and enter the limiting top groove 27, thus canceling the limitation on the pressing block 7. At this time, pressing the pressing block 7 causes the pressing block 7 to move the movable block 21 toward the second spring 20 through the adjusting groove 22, so that the abutment plate 34 enters the limiting top groove 27. At this time, the abutment plate 34 cancels the limitation on the top holding block 14, and the first spring 12 pulls the top holding block 14 toward the first spring 12, so that the locking plate 15 disengages from the locking block 6, thus canceling the limitation on the second connecting block 4. At this time, the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4 can be separated. Specific tools are required to disassemble the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4 to prevent the patient from directly disassembling the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4, thereby ensuring the danger alarm for the patient.

[0045] The specific solution is as follows: the wristband body 1 is worn on the patient's hand by the wristband 2, and the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4 are limited by the locking component to prevent the wristband body 1 from falling off. Furthermore, the disassembly component requires the use of a specific tool to disassemble the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4, preventing the patient from directly disassembling and discarding the wristband body 1. This ensures that the wristband body 1 can provide real-time alarms for the patient's location, thus preventing the patient from getting lost.

[0046] By bringing the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4 close together, the connecting post 5 is aligned with the slot 10 and inserted into the slot 10. When the locking block 6 on the connecting post 5 contacts the positioning plate 15, the positioning plate 15 is moved into the storage slot 16. At this time, the positioning plate 15 stretches the pull rope 18. When a locking block 6 passes the positioning plate 15, the top holding block 14 in the stretched state drives the positioning plate 15 to reset. Similarly, the connecting post 5 is fully inserted into the slot 10, thus completing the connection between the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4. Limiting can be completed simply by plugging in, which makes it easier for the patient to wear the wristband body 1.

[0047] When disassembly is required, a specific tool is inserted into the rotating groove 30, and then the adjusting block 8 is turned. The adjusting block 8 drives the traction rope 29 to rewind, thereby causing the limiting block 26 to disengage from the limiting groove 25 and enter the limiting top groove 27, thus canceling the limitation on the pressing block 7. At this time, pressing the pressing block 7 causes the pressing block 7 to move the movable block 21 toward the second spring 20 through the adjusting groove 22, so that the abutment plate 34 enters the limiting top groove 27. At this time, the abutment plate 34 cancels the limitation on the top holding block 14, and the first spring 12 pulls the top holding block 14 toward the first spring 12, so that the locking plate 15 disengages from the locking block 6, thus canceling the limitation on the second connecting block 4. At this time, the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4 can be separated. Specific tools are required to disassemble the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4 to prevent the patient from directly disassembling the first connecting block 3 and the second connecting block 4, thereby ensuring the danger alarm for the patient.
