[0081] The control signal module 1 includes a first amplitude modulation signal end, a second amplitude modulation signal end, a first driving signal end, and a second driving signal end.

[0082] Regarding the control signal module 1: The control signal module 1 includes a controller, which can be a microcontroller, including but not limited to a single-chip microcomputer (MCU). Taking the single-chip microcomputer as an example, the circuit receives the pulse width modulation signal sent by the single-chip microcomputer. The amplitude adjustment module 2 described below generates a magnetic force energy of the electromagnetic coil in the amplitude adjustment module 2 each time it receives an amplitude adjustment signal. Since the pulse width signal also forms two magnetic force directions, the average heart rate value of the fetal heart beating per minute is simulated. The motor driving signal controls the driving of the motor in the motor driving module 3 described below. According to the high and low level signals output by at least two pins of the single-chip microcomputer, the rotation direction of the motor is adjusted, so that the simulated fetal heart is displaced in different directions.

[0085] The third amplitude modulation input end and the fourth amplitude modulation input end are connected to the second amplitude modulation signal end, for controlling the second magnetic force direction of the analog fetal heart according to the amplitude adjustment signal;

[0086] Regarding the amplitude adjustment module 2: the first amplitude modulation unit 21 and the second amplitude modulation unit 22 in the amplitude adjustment module 2 are connected at both ends of the electromagnetic coil, when the first amplitude modulation unit 21 is turned on, the second amplitude modulation unit 22 is turned off, the current direction of the electromagnetic coil flows from one end to the other end, and a magnetic force direction is formed according to the electromagnetism; the second amplitude modulation unit 22 is turned on, and the current direction of the electromagnetic coil flows from the other end to the one end, that is, the current direction is opposite to that when the first amplitude modulation unit 21 is turned on, and another magnetic force direction is formed according to the electromagnetism. The analog fetal heart is usually a magnetic force adjustable block, including but not limited to a solid iron ball, and the change of the magnetic force direction will affect the vibration of the analog fetal heart, so as to simulate the heart rate value of the fetal heart.

Similarly, when the second drive unit 32 receives a high level and is turned on, the motor rotates counterclockwise / clockwise, thereby controlling the simulated fetal heart to move in the second displacement direction. By simulating the movement of the fetal heart, the distance between the fetal heart and the ultrasound probe is simulated, meeting the needs of practical use.

[0092] The control signal module 1 includes a microcontroller U1, a first AND gate device U2, and a second AND gate device U3;

[0093] The first pin of the microcontroller U1 is connected to the first pin of the first AND gate device U2, and the second pin of the microcontroller U1 is connected to the second pin of the first AND gate device U2.

[0099] Specifically, the first and second AND gate devices can be AND gate circuit chips that can perform AND gate logic calculation, U1 can output high and low level signals to U2 and U3, and only when the inputs of the first and second amplitude modulation input ends of U2 are both high level signals, the output pin of U2 will output a high level to the first amplitude modulation unit 21; U3 is the same, and only when the third and fourth amplitude modulation input ends are both high level signals, the output pin of U3 will output a high level to the second amplitude modulation unit 22.

[0100] Reference Figure 3 The output pulse signal diagram provided by the embodiment of the application, A pulse is a heart rate value control signal input by the first or third amplitude modulation input end, W1 is a pulse width with a fixed value, which can be 150 milliseconds, W2 is a pulse interval, the smaller the interval, the higher the pulse frequency, and the faster the simulation of fetal heart movement (similar to faster heartbeats), the larger the W2 interval, the smaller the frequency, and the slower the simulation of fetal heart movement;

[0101] B pulse is a movement amplitude control signal input by the second or fourth amplitude modulation input end, a PWM pulse width modulation signal is used, the higher the PWM duty cycle, the larger the coil current, and the larger the simulation of fetal heart vibration amplitude, and vice versa, the smaller the PWM duty cycle, the smaller the simulation of fetal heart vibration amplitude;

[0102] C pulse is the logic AND calculation result of A pulse and B pulse, that is, the output signal of U2 or U3.

[0103] More specifically, the fifth pin of the single-chip microcomputer U1 is connected to the first driving unit 31, and the sixth pin is connected to the second driving unit 32, and U1 can adjust the output high and low levels to the corresponding driving units through the connection relationship.

[0104] The circuit principle will be described in detail below in combination with the current limiting resistor and the pull-up and pull-down resistors:

[0105] The first amplitude modulation unit 21 comprises a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a first triode Q1, a second triode Q2, a fifth resistor R5, a sixth resistor R6, a seventh resistor R7, a third triode Q3 and a fourth triode Q4.

[0107] The collector of the first transistor Q1 is connected to one end of the third resistor R3, the other end of the third resistor R3 is connected to one end of the fourth resistor R4 and the base of the second transistor Q2, the emitter of the second transistor Q2 and the other end of the fourth resistor R4 are connected to an external DC signal source VCC;

[0108] The collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected to one end of the electromagnetic coil, the other end of the electromagnetic coil is connected to the collector of the third transistor Q3 and the collector of the fourth transistor Q4;

[0111] Specifically, R1 is a current limiting resistor for voltage division and current limiting of the electrical signal; R2 is a pull-down resistor for ensuring that the base of Q1 is at a low level in the normal state, since Q1 is an NPN transistor, it is in the off state in the normal state; R3 is a current limiting resistor; R4 is a pull-up resistor for ensuring that the base of Q2 is at a high level in the normal state, since Q2 is a PNP transistor, it is in the off state in the normal state; R5 and R6 are pull-down resistors for setting the bases of Q3 and Q4 to a low level in the normal state; and R7 is a current limiting resistor.

[0112] More specifically, when the first amplitude modulation unit 21 receives the high level signal output by U2, the high level signal is output to the base of Q1 through R1, thereby turning on Q1, after Q1 is turned on, the level signal output by VCC is output to the ground through Q1, the base voltage of Q2 is pulled down, Q2 is turned on, and the role of Q1 is to maximize the conduction current of Q2, that is, to improve the driving capability of Q2; at the same time, the high level signal is output to the bases of Q3 and Q4 through R7, after Q4 is turned on, it will further open the body diode of Q3, so that Q3 is completely opened and the conduction current reaches the maximum value, that is, the driving capability of Q3 is improved. In this case, the electromagnetic coil is turned on by the positive to negative circuit, according to the principle of electromagnetism, a magnetic force in the upward direction is generated, and the positive, negative and electromagnetic directions are for explanation and illustration only, and can be adjusted according to actual use.
