Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of health monitoring equipment, and in particular to a wearable health monitoring equipment. Background Art

[0002] Wearable devices for blood pressure health monitoring are generally divided into arm type, wrist type and finger type. Although the wrist sphygmomanometer is portable, its accuracy is lower than that of the upper arm sphygmomanometer. The finger sphygmomanometer has lower accuracy and unstable results due to the special measurement site. The upper arm sphygmomanometer has high accuracy and high stability. Therefore, the upper arm sphygmomanometer is more able to meet the requirements of accurate blood pressure measurement. CN213430082U records a sphygmomanometer with a massage function, which allows the airbag of the sphygmomanometer to massage the upper arm of the human body with the help of the reciprocating expansion function of the airbag on the basis of meeting the blood pressure measurement. However, the airbag of the sphygmomanometer is surrounded by the outer side of the upper arm of the human body for reciprocating compression as a whole. Therefore, the reciprocating pressure applied to various areas of the upper arm of the human body for massage at the same time will make the upper arm of the human body bear a large total pressure at the same time, which will make the upper arm of the human body have an uncomfortable use experience, especially for patients with weak constitutions. Long-term acceptance of the massage work of the large pressure reciprocating compression will further cause physical discomfort to the patient. In summary, it can be seen that the existing massage method of the wearable upper arm blood pressure health monitoring device has great limitations. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention is preferably described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] A wearable health monitoring device, such as Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, it includes an elastic strap 1, a Velcro mother patch 11, a Velcro sub-patch 12, a limiting belt 13, an anti-slip strip 131, a supporting airbag 2, a one-way air supply pipe 21, an extruding airbag 3, a controller 4, a micro air pump 41 and a two-way air supply pipe 43; one end of the elastic strap 1 is provided with a Velcro mother patch 11; the other end of the elastic strap 1 is provided with a Velcro sub-patch 12 corresponding to the Velcro mother patch 11; four supporting airbags 2 are fixedly connected to the elastic strap 1; between the two supporting airbags 2 on the left, an extruding airbag 3 is fixedly connected to the elastic strap 1; between the two supporting airbags 2 on the right, another extruding airbag 3 is fixedly connected to the elastic strap 1; both extruding airbags 3 have built-in pressure sensors; the elastic strap 1 is provided with limiting belts corresponding to the number and position of the supporting airbags 2 The limiting belt 13 is provided, and the supporting airbag 2 is wrapped between the corresponding limiting belt 13 and the elastic sleeve belt 1, and there is an expansion gap between the limiting belt 13 and the supporting airbag 2; each limiting belt 13 is provided with four anti-slip strips 131; the elastic sleeve belt 1 is installed with a controller 4; two micro air pumps 41 are installed on the controller 4, and a stop valve is provided in the micro air pump 41; the outlet ends of the two micro air pumps 41 are connected to a two-way air pipe 43; one of the two-way air pipes 43 is connected to the two supporting airbags 2 on the left; the other two-way air pipe 43 is connected to the two supporting airbags 2 on the right; the four supporting airbags 2 are respectively connected to the extrusion airbags 3 on the same side, and there are two unidirectional air pipes 21; the diameter of the unidirectional air pipe 21 is smaller than the diameter of the two-way air pipe 43.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the two extrusion airbags 3 are fixed with anti-skid sheets 31; the two anti-skid sheets 31 are provided with a plurality of protrusion structures 311, and the protrusion structures 311 on the anti-skid sheets 31 use anti-skid silicone material with elastic deformation structure; each protrusion structure 311 is provided with a main pressurizing chamber structure 3110 connected to the inside of the extrusion airbag 3.

[0030] The working steps of the blood pressure monitoring mode of a wearable health monitoring device of the present invention are as follows.

[0031] First, the user places the upper arm between the two support air bags 2 located in the middle of the elastic strap 1, and then wraps the left and right ends of the elastic strap 1 around the upper arm and closes them upward. Fig. 9 As shown, the two ends of the elastic strap 1 are fixed together by the Velcro mother tape 11 and the Velcro child tape 12. At this time, the four supporting airbags 2 are surrounded by the anti-slip strip 131 around the upper arm, and the two squeezing airbags 3 are respectively close to the inner and outer blood vessel pressing areas of the upper arm, completing the wearing of the elastic strap 1 on the upper arm.

[0032] Then the user operates the controller 4 to control the two micro air pumps 41 to deliver air to the corresponding two-way air pipes 43 respectively. The stop valve in the micro air pump 41 is in an open state, and the air flows along the two-way air pipe 43 to the corresponding support airbag 2, so that the four support airbags 2 around the upper arm are inflated, until the inflated support airbag 2 is close to the limiting belt 13, and the expansion volume of the support airbag 2 is limited by the limiting belt 13. At the same time, the remaining airflow entering the support airbag 2 enters the corresponding extrusion airbag 3 along the unidirectional air pipe 21, so that the two extrusion airbags 3 are gradually inflated. The four inflated supporting airbags 2 and the two inflated squeezing airbags 3 surround the upper arm together, and then the micro air pump 41 continues to fill the two squeezing airbags 3 with airflow with higher pressure. Since the squeezing airbags 3 are not restricted in expansion, the squeezing airbags 3 will continue to expand. At this time, the blood vessel compression area of ​​the upper arm is squeezed by the squeezing airbags 3 that continue to expand, and then the micro air pump 41 stops filling airflow into the squeezing airbags 3, the stop valve in the micro air pump 41 is in a closed state, and the pressure sensor built into the squeezing airbags 3 monitors the blood pressure in the blood vessel compression area.

[0033] The working steps of the squeeze massage mode of a wearable health monitoring device of the present invention are as follows.

[0034] After the user completes the wearing of the elastic sleeve 1 on the upper arm according to the above steps, the user first operates the controller 4 to control the two micro air pumps 41 to respectively deliver airflow to the corresponding two-way air supply pipes 43, and the stop valve in the micro air pump 41 is in an open state, so that the four inflated support airbags 2 and the two inflated squeezing airbags 3 are surrounded by the upper arm together, and then the user operates the controller 4 to control the two micro air pumps 41 to alternately deliver airflow to the two two-way air supply pipes 43. When the airflow is filled into the inflated squeezing airbags 3, the squeezing airbags 3 will further expand and push the anti-slip sheet 31 and the convex structure 311 to squeeze the corresponding blood vessel pressing area of ​​the upper arm, and the airflow entering the main pressurization chamber structure 3110 will push the top of the convex structure 311 of the anti-slip silicone material to bulge outward, causing the convex structure 311 to deform outward. It is capable of deeply squeezing the areas around the acupuncture points in the corresponding blood vessel pressing areas. When the micro air pump 41 stops filling the squeezing airbag 3 with air flow, the air flow in the squeezing airbag 3 will be discharged outward along the one-way air supply tube 21, the two-way air supply tube 43 and the airway of the micro air pump 41, allowing the squeezing airbag 3 to return to its initial expansion state. The stop valve in the micro air pump 41 is switched to a closed state, and then the other squeezing airbag 3 is filled with air flow. According to the above steps, the areas around the acupuncture points in the blood vessel pressing area on the other side of the upper arm are deeply squeezed, thereby achieving alternating massage work around the acupuncture points in the blood vessel pressing areas on both sides of the upper arm, and avoiding the two squeezing airbags 3 squeezing the blood vessel pressing areas on both sides of the upper arm at the same time. Therefore, this alternating massage method improves the effect of massaging the blood vessels in the upper arm on the basis of reducing the total pressure applied to the upper arm, thereby avoiding causing physical discomfort to the patient.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, a heat-conducting block 312 is provided in the middle of each bump structure 311 of the present embodiment, and the thickness of the heat-conducting block 312 is less than the thickness of the bump structure 311; each heat-conducting block 312 uses a composite silicone heat-conducting material with an elastic deformation structure, so the thermal conductivity of the heat-conducting block 312 is better than the thermal conductivity of the bump structure 311; a micro heater 42 is provided at the outlet end of the two micro air pumps 41, and the micro heater 42 can heat the air flow inside the two-way air supply pipe 43.

[0037] By reciprocatingly squeezing the arm through the squeezing airbag 3 with air inflation and deflation cycle, the local temperature of the arm can be increased, producing a heating feeling similar to that of being wrapped in a hot towel. This heating effect not only helps to relieve muscle tension, but also promotes blood circulation. When the temperature environment in which the user is located is low, the heat generated by the squeezing airbag 3 with air inflation and deflation cycle alone on the arm is less. At this time, the user can also turn on the micro-heater 42 to heat the airflow flowing inside the two-way air pipe 43 to form a hot airflow. The hot airflow then enters the supporting airbag 2 and the squeezing airbag 3 in turn to heat the arm in the form of wrapping the arm. In the squeezing massage mode, the airflow is slowly filled into the squeezing airbag 3, so the micro-heater 42 can heat the slowly flowing airflow in time. When the hot airflow enters the main pressurized chamber structure 3110 of the convex block structure 311, it can pass through the heat conductive block 312 of the composite silicone thermal conductive material to centrally heat the acupuncture point area of ​​the arm with a higher heat transfer efficiency, thereby achieving a heating effect on promoting blood circulation when the temperature environment is low.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] On the basis of Example 2, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a cross-through groove structure 31201 is provided in the middle of each heat-conducting block 312 of the present embodiment. In the initial state, the cross-through groove structure 31201 is in a tightly closed state and is not connected with the main pressurized chamber structure 3110 of the protruding block structure 311; each heat-conducting block 312 is configured to have a T-shaped cross-section, and an auxiliary pressurized chamber structure 31202 is provided in each heat-conducting block 312; and four air outlet groove structures 31203 aligned with the cross-through groove structure 31201 are provided on the heat-conducting block 312.

[0040] When the temperature environment in which the user is located is high, some users are more sensitive to heat, and the heat generated on the arm by the squeezing airbag 3 during the inflation and deflation cycle will cause discomfort to the user. Therefore, whenever the main pressurized chamber structure 3110 of the squeezing airbag 3 and the convex block structure 311 is filled with an airflow that has not been heated, it is necessary to further increase the pressure of the airflow filled into the main pressurized chamber structure 3110, so that the airflow filled into the main pressurized chamber structure 3110 has sufficient pressure to push the heat conductive block 312 upward through the auxiliary pressurized chamber structure 31202, so that the cross-through groove structure 31201 is turned up with the heat conductive block 312 During the process, the cross-through groove structure 31201 is expanded to the four sides, and the expanded cross-through groove structure 31201 is connected with the main pressurized chamber structure 3110. At this time, the airflow filled in the main pressurized chamber structure 3110 will be blown outwards to the skin surface of the user's arm through the cross-through groove structure 31201 and the air outlet groove structure 31203. The air outlet groove structure 31203 is located between the heat conductive block 312 and the skin surface of the user's arm, so as to avoid the airflow being unable to circulate due to the skin surface of the user's arm being closely attached to the surface of the heat conductive block 312, so as to achieve cooling of the skin surface of the user's arm by the airflow contacting the skin surface of the user's arm, thereby improving the user experience.

[0041] Although the present disclosure has been described with respect to only a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art having benefit of this disclosure will appreciate that various other embodiments can be devised without departing from the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention should be limited only by the appended claims.
