Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pulse diagnosis, and in particular to a pulse diagnosis and collection device and a pulse diagnosis and pressing method for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment. Background Art

[0002] The commonly used diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine include observation, smelling, questioning and palpation, among which pulse diagnosis is an important means for traditional Chinese medicine to obtain pathological information. With the development of science and technology, the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine has been put on the agenda, and pulse diagnosis equipment that can obtain pulse information has also received widespread attention.

[0003] An accurate Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis instrument needs to meet the requirements of pulse diagnosis and data collection at the same time: 1. Simulate human hand pressing on the radial artery, that is, use a pressure-applying mechanism to simulate fingers pressing synchronously or independently with three types of force: floating, middle and sinking; 2. Accurate collection of pulse wave signals during the pressing process requires the use of sensors to achieve accurate pulse wave signal collection at different positions of Cun, Guan and Chi.

[0004] The thickness of wrists and the direction of blood vessels vary from tester to tester, and the positions of Cun, Guan and Chi are different for different people. However, the existing pulse diagnosis instruments fix the spacing between multiple pressing mechanisms, and cannot adjust the pressing positions of the pressing mechanisms according to the wrist conditions of the testers. For example, the positions of Cun, Guan and Chi cannot be pressed accurately. The existing pressing mechanisms cannot flexibly adjust the pressing positions of the hand pulses according to different individual conditions, thereby failing to accurately collect the pulses, resulting in low quality of pulse signal collection. Summary of the invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present invention provide a pulse diagnosis and collection device and a pulse diagnosis and pressing method for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment. The multi-dimensional position adjustment function can ensure that the sensor can be accurately aligned with the patient's pulse point to achieve accurate pulse collection. This can effectively solve the problem in the prior art that the spacing of the pressing mechanism is fixed, resulting in the inability to flexibly adjust the pressing position of the hand pulse according to different individual conditions, thereby failing to achieve accurate pulse collection.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a two-side pressurization structure of a pulse diagnosis and collection device for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the pulse diagnosis and collection device comprises: two collection modules distributed on the left and right sides;

[0034] Each side collection module is provided with a pressurizing platform 3 and a linear motor module 1 for controlling the pressurizing platform 3 to move upward or downward; schematically, the linear motor module 1 is also provided with a cable drag chain 2;

[0035] Schematically, in the pulse diagnosis and collection equipment, two large motor linear modules are installed perpendicular to the floor, the loading pressurization platform is responsible for the lifting and lowering of the pressurization platform 3, and is equipped with a cable drag chain 2 to protect the wiring harness, and multiple stepper motors are installed on the pressurization platform.

[0036] Furthermore, the pressurizing platform 3 is provided with a plurality of pressing mechanisms and a plurality of displacement adjustment platforms; a hand contact module for collecting pulse data is provided at the bottom of each pressing mechanism;

[0037] Optionally, the hand contact module may also be equipped with an indicator light, so that the user can place the wrist according to the indicator light. Figure 1 When used in a hospital / clinic, the doctor can also manually adjust the position according to the patient's wrist structure.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the displacement adjustment platform is provided with an adjustable slide 7 and a screw-type adjustment module 8 in a screw-type manner;

[0039] Wherein, the adjustable slide is an X-axis manual slide, and the X-axis manual slide is used to adjust the movement position of the corresponding pressing mechanism on the first direction axis, for example, in the direction on the X-axis;

[0040] The screw type adjustment module is a compression screw type simple adjustment module, which is used to adjust the movement position of the corresponding pressing mechanism on the second direction axis, for example, the direction on the y axis. It can be understood that the directions of the first direction axis and the second direction axis are different.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment, the adjustable slide is provided with a first adjustment button, and the lead screw type adjustment module is provided with a second adjustment button;

[0042] Among them, the first adjustment button and the second adjustment button are both located on the same side of the displacement adjustment platform. That is, the adjustment knobs of the X-axis and the Y-axis extend from the same side to facilitate the doctor's operation and adjustment. Specifically, the same-side design significantly improves the convenience of operation. Users or doctors do not need to frequently change the operation direction or move the position during the adjustment process. They can easily control two key components-the adjustable slide and the screw-type adjustment module-on the same side of the displacement adjustment platform. It not only simplifies the operation process, but also reduces the difficulty of operation, allowing users or doctors to complete the displacement adjustment of the equipment more quickly and accurately.

[0043] In the process of TCM pulse diagnosis, doctors need to apply different pressures and angles to different acupuncture points according to factors such as the patient's constitution and condition. However, the present invention can be adjusted on the X-axis and Y-axis, so that doctors can accurately control the position of each pressing mechanism to accurately correspond to the patient's acupuncture points, thereby achieving better diagnostic results.

[0044] Furthermore, since the position and depth of acupuncture points on the human body may vary due to individual differences, if the pressing mechanism cannot be flexibly adjusted, errors may occur in the collected pulse data. The present invention can ensure that the pressing mechanism can fit the patient's skin closely by adjusting the function on the x-axis and y-axis, reduce the generation of errors, and thus improve the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0045] The pulse diagnosis collection device of the present invention is designed to be adjusted on the x-axis and y-axis, which not only improves the flexibility and adaptability of the device, but also helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of pulse diagnosis data, providing a more accurate and effective tool for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment.

[0046] Schematically, the present invention can realize the simultaneous collection of pulse data by both hands of the patient. In a preferred embodiment, the pressurizing platform 3 on each side of the present invention is provided with three pressing mechanisms, such as pressing mechanism 4, pressing mechanism 5 and pressing mechanism 6; optionally, each pressing mechanism corresponds to a displacement adjustment platform, so that the position of each pressing mechanism can be moved. Taking into account the differences in wrist structures of different patients and the differences in the positions of Cun, Guan and Chi, each pressing mechanism corresponds to a displacement adjustment platform so that the device can be more flexibly adapted to different testers to ensure accurate collection of pulse data.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, each of the pressing mechanisms is provided with a pressing motor, a tension pressure sensor and a hand contact module from top to bottom; schematically, the pressing motor is a stepping motor.

[0048] Among them, the pull pressure sensor is used to collect the corresponding pressure value when the hand contact module is pressed down; the pressing motor is used to control the downward pressure of the hand contact module to the corresponding pressure threshold; it can be understood that the stepper motor can accurately control the downward pressure of the hand contact module to ensure that the predetermined pressure threshold can be reached when collecting pulse data. The pull pressure sensor is responsible for real-time collection of the corresponding pressure value when the hand contact module is pressed down, and then provides feedback to the control system to ensure the accuracy of the downward pressure.

[0049] Indicatively, each hand contact module corresponds to a different pressure threshold, and each pressing motor of the present invention can simulate the different pressing forces of the three fingers (Cun, Guan, Chi) when taking the pulse in traditional Chinese medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine theory, Cun, Guan, and Chi correspond to different internal organs and symptoms, and more abundant pulse information can be obtained through different pressing forces. Therefore, by setting different pressure thresholds for each hand contact module, the pressing forces of different pressing motors can be different, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of pulse collection and diagnosis.

[0050] The present invention designs different pressure thresholds for each hand contact module, so that the pressing force of the pressing motor can also be different, which can simulate the control of different forces of floating, middle and sinking in the actual pulse diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine. It not only reflects the refinement and personalization of the technical implementation of the present invention, but also reflects its in-depth understanding and innovation in the application of traditional Chinese medicine theory, which makes the present invention more advantageous in pulse data collection and can provide more accurate and comprehensive information for medical diagnosis.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, when the number of pressing mechanisms of the single-side acquisition module is 3, 2 displacement adjustment platforms can be set, and the 2 displacement adjustment platforms are respectively set on the top of the pressing mechanism 4 and the pressing mechanism 6, so that each side can be equipped with three groups of independent pressing motors (marked as 4, 5, 6), and the position of the second pressing motor 5 is fixed, so it does not have the plane movement function; and the first pressing motor 4 and the third pressing motor 6 can have the manual displacement adjustment function of the X and Y axes by setting the displacement adjustment platform. Specifically, the plane movement function of the two axes is realized by combining the X-axis manual slide 7 and the tightening screw type simple adjustment module 8; that is, the embodiment of the present invention arranges three groups of independent pressing motors on the left and right sides respectively, and there are a total of six groups of independent pressing motors on both sides to simulate the independent pressing and pulse collection functions of the six fingers of both hands, so that the embodiment of the present invention can realize the simultaneous collection of the pulse of both hands, and the pressing force of each pressing motor is different, so different pressing forces can be realized, so that the control of floating, middle and sinking forces in traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis can be simulated, and the accuracy of pulse collection is improved.

[0052] The pulse diagnosis and collection device of the present invention can be equipped with a six-finger independent pressure module and a manual plane adjustment function, which can be divided into two sides to simulate the flexible pressing of three fingers respectively, and can adjust the inch, guan and chi positions according to the wrist structure of different test groups, thereby ensuring the accuracy of pulse compression and data collection.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the tension and pressure sensor of the present invention is columnar in shape. The columnar structure has high mechanical stability and load-bearing capacity and can effectively resist external pressure and vibration, thereby ensuring that the sensor maintains stable performance during operation.

[0054] Secondly, since the cylindrical sensor has a clear axial direction, the connection between the columnar tension and pressure sensor and the motor in the present invention can be more direct and stable, which helps to improve the stability and reliability of the entire system, so that the columnar tension and pressure sensor has higher accuracy when measuring force, thereby achieving accurate measurement of force and improving the control accuracy of motor force.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 As shown in the schematic diagram of the arrangement of the thin film pressure sensors, the hand contact module of the embodiment of the present invention is composed of a plurality of thin film sensors arranged in the form of an array, so that the pulse wave information of the patient's wrist can be collected through the array sensor.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the cell size of each thin film sensor is 3 mm 2 , and multiple thin-film sensors are arranged in a 3x6 array, then the total size of each hand contact module is, Figure 2As shown, it can be 15*30mm. As long as the blood vessel is within this area, the pulse wave can be accurately collected; schematically, the arrangement of the array form of the present invention can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0057] The embodiment of the present invention can realize comprehensive acquisition of the pulse wave signal at the radial artery through the designed sensor unit size and distribution of the array sensor, and the overall size of the sensor of the hand contact module is close to the size of the finger, ensuring that the test site of the radial artery can be covered to obtain accurate pulse data. And because the array sensor can adjust the arrangement according to actual conditions, it can adapt to the wrist size and radial artery position of different patients, so the acquisition module of the present invention can be widely used in different groups of people, improving its practicality and applicability.

[0058] In addition, the design of the array sensor of the present invention can also make the entire hand contact module easy to integrate into various medical devices to achieve simpler pulse collection.

[0059] To sum up, the pulse diagnosis and collection device of the present invention can not only integrate the functions of independent pressure application of six fingers or three fingers and plane adjustment of Cun, Guan and Chi, but also can collect pulse waves based on array-type thin film pressure sensors, and has the displacement adjustment function in two directions parallel to the wrist and perpendicular to the wrist, realizing the function of adjusting the positions of Cun, Guan and Chi under different test conditions; and through the arrangement in the form of an array, multiple thin film sensors can work simultaneously, thereby realizing the collection of pulse wave signals at the radial artery from multiple angles and positions, so as to capture richer and more detailed pulse information.

[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiments, the present invention provides a method embodiment;

[0061] An embodiment of the present invention provides a pulse diagnosis and pressing method for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, which is applied to each collection module in a pulse diagnosis and collection device for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment;

[0062] The pulse diagnosis and pressing method comprises:

[0063] Sending a first pressurizing instruction to the linear motor module so that the linear motor module drives the pressurizing platform to move down to a preset position;

[0064] When it is determined that the pressurizing platform reaches the preset position, a second pressurizing instruction is sent to each pressurizing motor, so that each pressurizing motor controls the hand contact module to press downward according to the second pressurizing instruction;

[0065] The actual pressure value of the columnar tension and compression sensor corresponding to each pressing motor is collected, and for each pressing motor, when it is determined that the actual pressure value of the columnar tension and compression sensor is equal to the corresponding pressure threshold, the pressing motor is controlled to stop moving, and a collection instruction is sent to the corresponding hand contact module, so that the hand contact module collects pulse data according to the collection instruction.

[0066] Schematically, the pulse diagnosis and collection equipment includes a power adapter module, a control main board, a linear motor module, a manual displacement adjustment pressurization platform, an independent pressurization pressing motor, and a sensor collection module.

[0067] The linear motor module can be used as a coarse-adjustment motor module, and the pressing motor can be used as a fine-adjustment motor. The specific operating principle and process of the pulse diagnosis collection device can be as follows: the control mainboard sends the first pressurization command to the coarse-adjustment motor (linear motor module), and the coarse-adjustment motor drives the pressurization platform to move down to the specified position. After reaching the specified position, the fine-adjustment motor (i.e., the pressing motor) controls the floating, middle, and sinking force of the downward pressure, and at the same time collects data from the columnar tension and compression sensor (absolute pressure sensor). When the force reaches the preset force value, the fine-adjustment motor stops, and the sensor collection module collects pulse wave data based on the flexible sensor.

[0068] Those skilled in the art can clearly understand that, for the sake of convenience and conciseness, the specific working process of the method described above can refer to the corresponding process in the aforementioned device item embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0069] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that a person skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
