Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of home medical devices, and more particularly to a smart blood glucose and blood pressure tester. Background Technology

[0002] A blood glucose and blood pressure monitor is a home medical device suitable for people with chronic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension to monitor their health at home and better manage their condition. When testing blood pressure at home for an elderly person, first have them sit in a chair with a backrest, place their arm on a table with their palm facing upward and extend it flat. Then, put the cuff on the elderly person's upper arm and secure it before starting the measurement.

[0003] As people age, the subcutaneous fat layer becomes uneven or decreases, leading to sagging and loose skin. Therefore, when an elderly person places their arm on a table, the skin of their upper arm naturally droops, touching the cuff. To prevent the cuff from dragging and twisting the sagging skin, creating wrinkles, family members usually need to pull the skin upwards to tighten it. However, this is extremely inconvenient, as family members must simultaneously pull the skin and apply the cuff, and they must carefully control the force to avoid hurting the elderly person. Therefore, it's impossible to ensure the skin in contact with the cuff is taut during the pulling process, resulting in the cuff not lying flat against the upper arm. This affects the even distribution of force on the upper arm, leading to inaccurate blood pressure measurements and impacting the effectiveness of health management for the elderly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the drawback that when family members pull on the elderly person's sagging skin, it is impossible to ensure that the skin in contact with the cuff is taut, which can cause the cuff to not lie flat against the upper arm, affecting the even distribution of force on the upper arm and resulting in inaccurate blood pressure measurements, thus affecting the effectiveness of health management for the elderly, this invention provides a smart blood glucose and blood pressure tester.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a smart blood glucose and blood pressure tester, comprising a tester and a cuff; the tester is connected to the cuff via a trachea; the cuff is provided with an end; it also includes a connecting component, a mounting plate, a support plate, and a compression roller; the connecting component is installed at the end of the cuff; the mounting plate is provided on the connecting component; a plurality of support plates are installed on the mounting plate; each support plate is made of an elastic deformable material, and the outer surface of each support plate is covered with a soft fabric; each support plate is provided with a compression roller for preventing skin twisting and folding.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the connecting assembly includes a fixing plate and a connecting block; a plurality of fixing plates are fixedly connected to the end of the cuff, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to all the fixing plates; a plurality of connecting blocks are fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each support plate is configured as an arc shape.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each support plate consists of a sliding sleeve and a connecting plate, and the connecting plate and the sliding sleeve are connected by a damped sliding connection.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the height of the front support plate is higher than that of the rear support plate, and the distance between adjacent front support plates is greater than that between adjacent rear support plates.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, each extrusion roller is provided with a plurality of protrusions.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a rotating rod; a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the lower side of each support plate, and each rotating rod is connected to the mounting plate by a damped rotational connection.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes limiting blocks; the front extrusion rollers are all cylindrical; each front extrusion roller is slidably connected with a limiting block for controlling the tightness of the cuff, and the diameter of the limiting block is set to one finger width; each limiting block is provided with a handle; each front extrusion roller is provided with a sliding groove on its upper side, and the handle can slide back and forth in the sliding groove; the length of the rear extrusion rollers is set to two finger widths.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a miniature air pump; each limiting block is configured as a hollow structure and each limiting block is made of an inflatable deformable material; a miniature air pump is fixedly connected to each connecting block; each limiting block is connected to the air inlet of the miniature air pump through an air pipe.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a protective pad; a protective pad for protecting the elbow joint of the elderly is slidably connected to the mounting plate.

[0015] Beneficial effects: This invention achieves the compression of sagging skin by the compression roller, making the sagging skin taut and preventing the cuff from dragging the loose sagging skin along with it, causing the sagging skin to twist and form wrinkles. This helps family members to measure blood pressure, improves the convenience of family members in the process of using the product, and avoids the cuff not being able to fit evenly on the upper arm, which would affect the even force of the cuff on the upper arm, thereby improving the accuracy of the test data.

[0016] By increasing the friction between the squeezing roller and the skin through the protrusion, the sagging skin is prevented from detaching from the squeezing roller, which would cause the sagging skin to form wrinkles during the cuff pulling and binding process, affecting the accuracy of the test data.

[0017] By making the front support plate higher than the rear support plate, and the distance between adjacent front support plates greater than the distance between adjacent rear support plates, the support plate fits the shape of the upper arm more closely, reducing discomfort for the elderly when testing blood pressure.

[0018] The compression roller, about two fingers wide at the back, helps family members determine the correct position of the cuff, preventing some family members from not knowing the correct position and causing the cuff to be not at the same level as the heart, thus avoiding affecting the accuracy of the blood pressure test results.

[0019] By pushing the limiting block between the cuff and the upper arm, a space of two fingers is left before the cuff is bound, thus preventing the tightness of the cuff from changing during the binding process and thus avoiding affecting the blood pressure test results later.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] A smart blood glucose and blood pressure tester, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a testing device 1 and a cuff 2; the testing device 1 is connected to the cuff 2 via an air tube; the cuff 2 is provided with an end 2001;

[0031] It also includes a connecting component, a mounting plate 3, a support plate 4, and a squeezing roller 5; the end 2001 of the sleeve 2 is equipped with a connecting component; the connecting component is provided with a mounting plate 3; four rectangularly distributed support plates 4 are installed on the mounting plate 3; each support plate 4 is made of an elastic deformable material, and the outer surface of each support plate 4 is covered with soft fabric; each support plate 4 is provided with a squeezing roller 5.

[0032] The connecting assembly includes a fixing plate 101 and a connecting block 102; the end 2001 of the sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to two front-to-back symmetrical fixing plates 101, and the mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to all the fixing plates 101; two left-to-right symmetrical connecting blocks 102 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 3.

[0033] Each support plate 4 is designed to be curved.

[0034] Each support plate 4 consists of a sliding sleeve and a connecting plate, and the connecting plate and the sliding sleeve are connected by a damped sliding connection.

[0035] The height of the front support plate 4 is higher than the height of the rear support plate 4, and the distance between adjacent front support plates 4 is greater than the distance between adjacent rear support plates 4.

[0036] Each pair of left and right opposing extrusion rollers 5 has three protrusions 5001 on their opposite sides.

[0037] It also includes a rotating rod 201; a rotating rod 201 is fixedly connected to the lower side of each support plate 4, and each rotating rod 201 is connected to the mounting plate 3 by a damped rotational connection.

[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0039] The first step is to have the elderly person sit in a chair with a backrest, place their arm on a table, and extend their palm upwards. At this time, the elderly person's upper arm should be relaxed and at the same level as the heart. Then, open the cuff 2 and put the cuff 2 on the elderly person's arm. Then, drag the cuff 2, mounting plate 3, support plate 4 and compression roller 5 to the position of the elderly person's upper arm. At this time, the compression roller 5 is located below the elderly person's upper arm.

[0040] The second step involves slowly moving the mounting plate 3 upwards, causing the compression roller 5 to press against the elderly person's sagging skin. As the compression roller 5 presses against the sagging skin, the skin gradually tightens upwards. Simultaneously, the elderly person's upper arm presses against the compression roller 5. Since each support plate 4 is made of an elastic deformable material and its outer surface is covered with soft fabric, the compression roller 5 will press against the support plate 4, causing it to deform to the left or right. Then, the compression roller 5 will gradually pass over the upper arm, while the support plate 4 wraps around the left and right sides of the upper arm. By setting the support plate 4 in a curved shape, it better conforms to the shape of the human upper arm, improving the elderly person's testing comfort.

[0041] Meanwhile, the lower cuff 2 near the end 2001 gradually comes into contact with the taut skin. After the compression roller 5 passes over the upper arm, the right end of the cuff 2 is pulled to ensure that one or two fingers can be inserted between the cuff 2 and the upper arm. Then the cuff 2 is tied up, and finally the tester 1 is started to begin the blood pressure test. The compression roller 5 compresses the sagging skin, making the sagging skin taut and preventing the cuff 2 from dragging the loose sagging skin and causing it to twist and wrinkle. This helps family members measure blood pressure, improves the convenience of use, and avoids the cuff 2 not being able to fit evenly against the upper arm, which would affect the even force of the cuff 2 on the upper arm and thus improve the accuracy of the test data.

[0042] Since human skin is relatively smooth, when the compression roller 5 squeezes the skin of the upper arm, the protrusion 5001 increases the friction between the compression roller 5 and the skin, thereby preventing the skin from detaching from the compression roller 5. This would cause the skin to wrinkle during the pulling and binding process of the cuff 2, affecting the accuracy of the test data.

[0043] Since the part of the upper arm near the shoulder is thicker than the part near the elbow, when the squeezing roller 5 moves from below and over the upper arm, in order to make the support plate 4 fit the shape of the upper arm better, it wraps around it, so that the height of the front support plate 4 is higher than that of the rear support plate 4, and the distance between adjacent front support plates 4 is greater than that between adjacent rear support plates 4, so that the support plate 4 fits the shape of the upper arm more closely and reduces the discomfort of the elderly when testing blood pressure.

[0044] Considering the varying body shapes and arm thicknesses of different elderly individuals, in the first step described above, the angle between the compression roller 5 and the mounting plate 3 is adjusted by rotating the lever 201 according to the arm thickness of the elderly person. This allows the compression roller 5 to smoothly compress the skin of the upper arm, gradually tightening it. The support plate 4 can then wrap around and adhere to the left or right side of the upper arm. It is important to note that in this step, the support plate 4 simply wraps and adheres to the upper arm without actually compressing it. Furthermore, due to differences in arm thickness, adjusting the angle of the compression roller 5 may result in it not being able to pass over the upper arm and instead clamping onto it, causing compression. In this case, pulling the connecting plate of the support plate 4 upwards moves the compression roller 5 upwards, allowing it to pass over the elderly person's upper arm, thus preventing the compression roller 5 from compressing the blood vessels in the upper arm and affecting the test results.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a limiting block 301; the front extrusion rollers 5 are all cylindrical with a central tube; the limiting blocks 301 are slidably connected inside the front extrusion rollers 5, and the diameter of the limiting blocks 301 is set to one finger width; each limiting block 301 is provided with a handle 30101; the upper side of the front extrusion rollers 5 is provided with a sliding groove 5002, and the handle 30101 can slide back and forth in the sliding groove 5002; the length of the rear extrusion rollers 5 is set to two fingers width.

[0047] It also includes a miniature air pump 302; each limiting block 301 is set as a hollow structure and each limiting block 301 is made of inflatable deformable material; each connecting block 102 is fixedly connected to a miniature air pump 302; each limiting block 301 is connected to the air outlet of the miniature air pump 302 through an air pipe.

[0048] It also includes a protective pad 401; the protective pad 401 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 3.

[0049] The working steps of this embodiment are as follows:

[0050] In the first step of Example 1: when the cuff 2, mounting plate 3, support plate 4 and compression roller 5 are dragged to the upper arm of the elderly person, the rear side of the compression roller 5 is positioned above the elbow crease. At this time, the lower edge of the cuff 2 is positioned two finger widths above the elbow crease. The compression roller 5, which is two finger widths long, helps the family member determine the binding position of the cuff 2, preventing some family members from not knowing the correct binding position, which would cause the cuff 2 to be not on the same horizontal line as the heart, thereby avoiding affecting the accuracy of the blood pressure test results.

[0051] In the second step of Example 1: when the squeezing roller 5 passes over the upper arm and the support plate 4 wraps around the left and right sides of the upper arm, the handles 30101 of the two limiting blocks 301 are moved to the sliding groove 5002 of the squeezing roller 5, and then the limiting blocks 301 are pushed backward. Since the squeezing rollers 5 in front are all cylindrical, the limiting blocks 301 pass through the back of the squeezing rollers 5 and are located between the cuff 2 and the upper arm. Since the diameter of the limiting blocks 301 is set to one finger width, the cuff 2 is then tied up, leaving a two-finger width space between the cuff 2 and the upper arm. Then the limiting blocks 301 are pushed forward to return to the initial position. Then the tester 1 is started to measure blood pressure. By pushing the limiting blocks 301 between the cuff 2 and the upper arm, a two-finger width space is left before the cuff 2 is tied up, thereby preventing the tightness of the cuff 2 from changing during the binding process, thus avoiding affecting the blood pressure test results later.

[0052] When the cuff 2 is secured, and the limiting block 301 is pulled out from between the cuff 2 and the upper arm, the limiting block 301 will squeeze and rub against the skin of the upper arm, causing discomfort to the elderly. To avoid this, when the limiting block 301 is pulled out from between the cuff 2 and the upper arm, the micro air pump 302 is controlled to draw air out through the air tube, causing the limiting block 301 to shrink and become deflated, reducing the volume of the limiting block 301, preventing the limiting block 301 from contacting the skin of the upper arm, reducing the discomfort of the elderly, and improving the efficiency of pulling the limiting block 301 out from between the cuff 2 and the upper arm. Then, the limiting block 301 is pulled out again and returned to its initial position. Then, the micro air pump 302 is controlled to inflate the limiting block 301 through the air tube, restoring the limiting block 301 to its original state.

[0053] The entire blood pressure test process usually takes five to ten minutes. For the elderly, due to their thin physique and prominent joints, when their arms are resting on the table for a long time, it will compress the blood vessels in the elbow joint area. Especially in winter, the blood vessels are compressed for a long time, which will not only affect the blood pressure test results, but also cause numbness in the elderly's arms and cause serious discomfort. To avoid the above situation, after the cuff 2 is put on the elderly's upper arm, pull the protective pad 401 backward, so that the protective pad 401 slides backward within the limiting groove 3001 of the mounting plate 3. Then drag the protective pad 401 under the elderly's elbow joint, so that the elderly's elbow joint rests on the protective pad 401, protecting the elderly's elbow joint and improving the comfort of the blood pressure test process.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
