Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to an intelligent arteriovenous fistula vascular murmur monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] For patients suffering from renal failure and other diseases that require long-term hemodialysis, establishing a stable and effective vascular access is crucial. Usually, doctors will connect an artery and a vein of the patient through surgery to form an internal fistula. The most common site is the forearm, for example, anastomosing the radial artery and the cephalic vein. During hemodialysis, medical staff can insert puncture needles into the arterial end and venous end of the internal fistula respectively to draw out the blood in the body. After being purified by the dialysis machine, it is then transfused back into the body.

[0003] After the formation of the internal fistula, arterial blood flows through the internal fistula venous blood vessel through the anastomosis. Its movement mode changes from relative laminar flow to turbulent flow and impacts the venous blood vessel wall to produce a murmur, which sounds like "blowing wind". The successful establishment and good maintenance of the hemodialysis internal fistula have an important impact on the treatment effect and quality of life of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly monitor the vascular murmur of the arteriovenous fistula. For a newly established internal fistula, within one week after the operation, the murmur at the surgical wound (anastomosis) should be louder day by day. If the murmur weakens day by day, the pitch of the murmur increases significantly or the murmur disappears, the internal fistula may be stenotic or even occluded.

[0004] In the prior art, the method for monitoring the vascular murmur of the arteriovenous fistula usually relies on manual listening with ears and fingers or using a stethoscope attached to the internal fistula. On the one hand, manual listening cannot effectively monitor the momentary changes of the vascular murmur of the internal fistula in real time. On the other hand, the accuracy of manual listening is relatively low and it cannot be recorded.

[0005] Therefore, to solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, an intelligent arteriovenous fistula vascular murmur monitoring device is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention provides an intelligent arteriovenous fistula vascular murmur monitoring device, which has the beneficial effects of wearing multiple electronic stethoscopes on the arm close to the body to monitor and record the entire arteriovenous fistula in real time, and having a segmented vibration damping function. While maintaining the wearing comfort as much as possible, it can also effectively monitor the murmur of patients during movement, solving the problems in the prior art mentioned in the above background art. The method for monitoring the vascular murmur of the arteriovenous fistula usually relies on manual listening with ears and fingers or using a stethoscope attached to the internal fistula. On the one hand, manual listening cannot effectively monitor the momentary changes of the vascular murmur of the internal fistula in real time.

[0017] When the first engaging tooth engages with the second engaging tooth, the reciprocating sliding of the lifting rod drives the sliding connection seat and the installation seat to reciprocate, the installation seat drives the nut and the screw rod to reciprocate, and the screw rod drives the damper to expand and contract;

[0018] When the first engaging tooth is not in contact with the second engaging tooth, the reciprocating sliding of the lifting rod drives the sliding connection seat and the installation seat to reciprocate, the installation seat drives the nut to spiral move on the screw rod, and the screw rod and the damper are stationary.

Furthermore, electronic monitoring also records the tone and volume, making it more accurate than listening with the ear.

[0028] 2. This intelligent arteriovenous fistula murmur monitoring device monitors arteriovenous fistula murmurs. Because murmurs vary from one location to another, a row of electronic stethoscopes mounted on the armrest monitors the entire arteriovenous fistula. The positions of the multiple electronic stethoscopes can be adjusted to accommodate the location of the fistula in different patients.

[0029] 3.

[0030] Multiple vibration-damping mechanisms are provided, and their damping functions are activated and deactivated in stages. When the arm's shaking amplitude is small, only one damping mechanism is used to provide vibration reduction, and the electronic stethoscope does not press too tightly on the arm.

This achieves multi-level intelligent vibration reduction while maintaining wearing comfort. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manners

[0042] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 - 2, An intelligent arteriovenous fistula vascular murmur monitoring device, including an arm guard 100, which is worn on the patient's arm. A number of monitoring mechanisms 200 are provided on the arm guard 100. The monitoring mechanism 200 includes a first housing 210 and an electronic stethoscope 220. The electronic stethoscope 220 is used to stick on the arteriovenous fistula of the patient's arm to monitor the vascular murmur;

[0044] A cylinder 230 is provided on the first housing 210. A lifting rod 240 is slidably provided on the cylinder 230. A connecting ball 250 is provided on the lifting rod 240. The connecting ball 250 is rotatably connected to the electronic stethoscope 220. A number of damping mechanisms 300 are circumferentially provided on the first housing 210;

[0045] When the patient is in a moving state, part of the energy generated by the vibration of the electronic stethoscope 220 and the lifting rod 240 is absorbed by the damping mechanism 300 for damping, and a number of damping mechanisms 300 are successively connected to the lifting rod 240 along with the vibration degree of the electronic stethoscope 220;

[0046] Both ends of the arm guard 100 are provided with straps 110, and the two straps 110 are adhered by a magic tape 120;

[0047] The monitoring mechanism 200 further includes a corrugated pipe 290, and both ends of the corrugated pipe 290 are respectively connected to the first housing 210 and the electronic stethoscope 220;

[0048] A first knob 260 is threadedly installed on the first housing 210. The first knob 260 is rotatably connected to the cylinder 230. The height of the electronic stethoscope 220 and the cylinder 230 is adjusted by the first knob 260;

[0049] The monitoring mechanism 200 further includes a turntable 270. The turntable 270 is rotatably connected to the arm guard 100. The first housing 210 is installed on the turntable 270, and the first housing 210 is located at a position deviating from the center of the turntable 270. A second knob 280 is provided at the center of the turntable 270;

[0050] The horizontal position of the electronic stethoscope 220 and the cylinder 230 is adjusted by rotating the turntable 270 to fit the arteriovenous fistula of the patient.

[0051] In this embodiment: The arm guard 100 can be made of flexible materials such as leather, and can be inflated inside to improve the wearing comfort, and at the same time has a certain elasticity to better fit on the arm. The two straps 110 surround the patient's arm in a circle and are adhered by the magic tape 120 to fix the position of the arm guard 100.

[0052] A row of monitoring mechanisms 200 are mounted along the arm's length on the arm guard 100. The lower end of the first housing 210 is connected to the electronic stethoscope 220 via a lifting rod 240 and a bellows 290. A connecting ball 250 mounted on the lifting rod 240 connects to the electronic stethoscope 220 in a manner similar to a ball stud and a ball socket. The electronic stethoscope 220 can be rotated and moved at various angles while attached to the arm. The movement of the electronic stethoscope 220 drives the lifting rod 240 up and down.

[0053] The first knob 260 will spiral up or down when it rotates forward or backward. The first knob 260 spirals up and drives the cylinder 230 to rise, and the first knob 260 spirals down and drives the cylinder 230 to fall. By turning the first knob 260, the initial height of the first shell 210 and the electronic stethoscope 220 can be adjusted to adjust the tightness of the fit between the electronic stethoscope 220 and the arm.

[0054] Turning the second knob 280 rotates the turntable 270, causing the first housing 210 and the electronic stethoscope 220 to move in a circular motion to adjust their positions. Because the distribution and angle of fistulas vary from patient to patient, each second knob 280 can be turned individually to ensure that each electronic stethoscope 220 covers the entire blood vessel.

[0055] Electronic stethoscope 220 can amplify vascular murmurs through a speaker or convert them into electrical signals for output. This can then be connected to a mobile app to record the real-time internal fistula murmurs. As a conventional technology, the specific structure and operating principle of electronic stethoscope 220 will not be described in detail.

[0056] Traditional stethoscopes require the arm to remain still during measurement, and are unable to monitor the fistula blood vessels during exercise. Therefore, the electronic stethoscope 220 is also equipped with a vibration reduction measure so that the patient can also monitor the fistula blood vessel murmur when exercising.

[0057] Example 2: This example is an improvement based on Example 1. For details, please refer to Figures 2 - 10 The vibration reduction mechanism 300 includes a second housing 310 disposed on the cylinder 230 , and a third knob 320 is disposed on the second housing 310 ;

[0058] The vibration reduction mechanism 300 further includes a damper 330 and a spring 340 . One end of the damper 330 is connected to the third knob 320 , and the other end of the damper 330 is in transmission connection with the lifting rod 240 . Both ends of the spring 340 are respectively connected to both ends of the damper 330 .

[0059] When the lifting rod 240 slides back and forth, the damper 330 is driven to expand and contract. At this time, the lifting rod 240 and the electronic stethoscope 220 are damped by the damper 330 and the spring 340 .

[0060] In this embodiment, when the arm performs various movements, the lifting rod 240 moves up and down due to acceleration and inertia. This frequent displacement generates vibrations that are then transmitted to the damper 330 and spring 340. The damper 330 and spring 340 compress and rebound, absorbing some of the energy generated by the vibrations. This energy absorption and release reduces the amplitude and frequency of the lifting rod 240's vibrations, thereby reducing the sway of the electronic stethoscope 220 and maintaining relative stability for both the electronic stethoscope 220 and the arm.

[0061] Damper 330 can be hydraulic or pneumatic. Its principle is to convert kinetic energy from motion into heat through friction or viscosity, thereby dissipating excess energy. Damper 330 typically consists of a sealed liquid or gas, a piston, and a spring. When vibration occurs, the liquid or gas inside damper 330 is forced to flow, creating resistance and reducing the amplitude of the vibration.

[0062] In addition, the third knob 320 can also be threadedly mounted on the second housing 310, and the left end of the damper 330 can be rotatably mounted on the third knob 320. By turning the third knob 320, the initial position of the damper 330 and the spring 340 can be adjusted, thereby increasing or decreasing the elastic force of the damper 330 and the spring 340.

[0063] The elastic force of the damper 330 and the spring 340 can support the lifting rod 240 and the electronic stethoscope 220 in the initial position when no external force is applied, and can help the lifting rod 240 and the electronic stethoscope 220 to reset after being subjected to force.

[0064] Example 3: This example is an improvement based on Example 2. For details, please refer to Figures 1 - 10 The vibration reduction mechanism 300 further includes a screw 350 , one end of which is transmission-connected to the lifting rod 240 via a first transmission assembly 360 , and the other end of the screw 350 is transmission-connected to the other end of the damper 330 via a second transmission assembly 370 ;

[0065] The first transmission assembly 360 includes a sliding connection base 361 slidably disposed on the second housing 310, a fixed connection base 362 disposed on the lifting rod 240, and a connecting rod 363. Both ends of the connecting rod 363 are provided with a rotating shaft 364. The two rotating shafts 364 are rotatably connected to the sliding connection base 361 and the fixed connection base 362 respectively.

[0066] The sliding connection seat 361 is provided with a mounting seat 365 , and the mounting seat 365 is rotatably provided with a nut 366 , and the nut 366 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 350 ;

[0067] The first engaging teeth 367 are provided on the nut 366, and the second engaging teeth 368 are provided in the second housing 310;

[0068] When the first engaging teeth 367 are engaged with the second engaging teeth 368, the reciprocating sliding of the lifting rod 240 drives the sliding connection seat 361 and the mounting seat 365 to reciprocate, the mounting seat 365 drives the nut 366 and the screw rod 350 to reciprocate, and the screw rod 350 drives the damper 330 to expand and contract;

[0069] When the first engaging teeth 367 are not in contact with the second engaging teeth 368, the reciprocating sliding of the lifting rod 240 drives the sliding connection seat 361 and the mounting seat 365 to reciprocate, the mounting seat 365 drives the nut 366 to move spirally on the screw rod 350, and the screw rod 350 and the damper 330 are stationary;

[0070] The lengths of the second engaging teeth 368 in several damping mechanisms 300 decrease in sequence in the counterclockwise direction, one ends of the second engaging teeth 368 are equidistant from the central axis of the first housing 210, and the other ends of the second engaging teeth 368 are increasingly distant from the central axis of the first housing 210 in the counterclockwise direction.

[0071] In this embodiment: Since the damper 330 and the spring 340 damp the lifting rod 240 and the electronic stethoscope 220, the electronic stethoscope 220 will exert a certain pressure on the arm in the reverse direction, increasing the discomfort of the patient. Therefore, a plurality of damping mechanisms 300 are circumferentially arranged, and the plurality of damping mechanisms 300 are segmented and opened according to the shaking degree of the patient's arm and the electronic stethoscope 220.

[0072] As shown in the figure, it is assumed that there are three damping mechanisms 300, and the damping mechanism 300 on the left is set as a in the counterclockwise order, the damping mechanism 300 on the right front side is set as b, and the damping mechanism 300 on the right rear side is set as c.

[0073] In the damping mechanism 300, the transmission between the damper 330 and the lifting rod 240 is an openable and closable transmission structure. When the arm is stationary or has a small movement amplitude, the a damping mechanism 300 is initially opened for transmission, and at this time, a set of damper 330 and spring 340 provide damping effect. As the shaking amplitude of the arm increases and the upward movement amplitude of the lifting rod 240 increases, the b damping mechanism 300 will also be opened for transmission, and at this time, two sets of damper 330 and spring 340 provide damping effect. As the shaking amplitude of the arm further increases, the c damping mechanism 300 will also be opened for transmission, and at this time, three sets of damper 330 and spring 340 provide damping effect.

[0074] Specifically, the structural difference between the three groups of vibration reduction mechanisms 300 a, b, and c lies only in the length of the three groups of second latching teeth 368 . The second latching teeth 368 of the vibration reduction mechanism 300 a are the longest, the second latching teeth 368 of the vibration reduction mechanism 300 b are the second longest, and the second latching teeth 368 of the vibration reduction mechanism 300 c are the shortest.

[0075] When the lifting rod 240 reaches the first level of upward movement, the upward movement of the lifting rod 240 drives the sliding connection seat 361 away from the center of the first housing 210 through the transmission of the sliding connection seat 361, the fixed connection seat 362, and the connecting rod 363. At this time, none of the first latching teeth 367 in the three groups abc contact the second latching teeth 368. The screw rod 350 remains stationary under the elastic support of the damper 330 and the spring 340. At this time, the mounting seat 365 and the nut 366 move leftward with the sliding connection seat 361, and the nut 366 rotates relative to the mounting seat 365, that is, the nut 366 moves leftward in a spiral. At this time, the upward movement of the lifting rod 240 drives the sliding connection seat 361 to the left, but does not drive the screw rod 350 to move.

[0076] When the lifting rod 240 moves upward to the second level, the first latching tooth 367 of the vibration damping mechanism 300 begins to contact the second latching tooth 368. The teeth of the first latching tooth 367 and the second latching tooth 368 interlock, preventing the nut 366 from rotating. At this time, the leftward movement of the sliding connection seat 361 and the mounting seat 365 drives the screw rod 350 to move leftward synchronously, thus activating the transmission between the vibration damping mechanism 300 and the lifting rod 240.

[0077] When the lifting rod 240 moves upward to the third level, the first latching tooth 367 in the vibration damping mechanism b 300 begins to contact the second latching tooth 368. The teeth of the first latching tooth 367 and the second latching tooth 368 interlock, activating the transmission between the vibration damping mechanism b 300 and the lifting rod 240. At this point, the first latching tooth 367 in the vibration damping mechanism a 300 slides along the second latching tooth 368, maintaining its engagement with the second latching tooth 368. Thus, two sets of vibration damping mechanisms 300, ab, provide vibration damping for the electronic stethoscope 220.

[0078] When the lifting rod 240 moves upward to the fourth level, the first latching tooth 367 in the vibration damping mechanism 300 (c) begins to contact the second latching tooth 368. The teeth of the first latching tooth 367 and the second latching tooth 368 interlock, activating the transmission between the vibration damping mechanism 300 and the lifting rod 240. At this point, the first latching tooth 367 in the vibration damping mechanism 300 (a) and the vibration damping mechanism 300 (b) continue to slide along the second latching tooth 368, maintaining engagement with the second latching tooth 368. Thus, three vibration damping mechanisms 300 (a, b, c) provide vibration damping for the electronic stethoscope 220.

[0079] Example 4: This example is an improvement made on the basis of Example 3. For details, please refer to Figures 2 - 10, the second transmission component 370 includes a connection block 371 provided at the other end of the damper 330. A rotating groove 372 is formed in the connection block 371. The other end of the screw 350 is provided with a limiting block 373, and the screw 350 and the limiting block 373 are rotatably connected in the rotating groove 372.

[0080] In this embodiment: when the lifting rod 240 rises and then falls, the first cogs 367 and the second cogs 368 continuously contact and separate. The position of the second cogs 368 is fixed, and the first cogs 367 rotate with the nut 366. Therefore, several teeth of the first cogs 367 may not be able to align with the gaps between several teeth of the second cogs 368 every time.

[0081] Therefore, the left and right ends of each tooth of the first cogs 367 and the second cogs 368 are both set as pointed teeth. When the first cogs 367 move leftward to contact the second cogs 368, even if they are not aligned, due to the guiding of each pointed tooth, the first cogs 367 and the nut 366 will rotate a certain angle to complete alignment. At this time, the nut 366 will drive the screw 350 to rotate a certain angle together.

[0082] The rotating groove 372 is a groove with a circular middle part and fan-shaped parts extending on both sides. Two fan-shaped blocks, namely the limiting blocks 373, extend from the screw 350, but the fan-shaped area of the limiting blocks 373 is smaller than the fan-shaped part area of the rotating groove 372. The rotating groove 372 and the limiting blocks 373 play a role in limiting the screw 350, so that it will get stuck with the inner wall of the rotating groove 372 after rotating a small angle. The screw 350 cannot continue to rotate. Thus, when the first cogs 367 do not contact the second cogs 368, the screw 350 can remain stationary, enabling the nut 366 to move spirally on the screw 350.

[0083] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0084] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
