[0030] Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the pressure sensor array arrangement in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0032] The embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent auxiliary device based on the Heimlich maneuver, such as Figure 1 Shown, including:

[0033] The strap 101 is used to be tied around the abdomen of the person being rescued;

[0034] The pressure sensor 102 is located inside the strap, covering the area between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus on the victim's abdomen, and is used to detect the operator's operating force and position;

[0035] The impact plate 103 corresponds to the central area between the xiphoid process acupuncture point and the umbilicus, and is used to act on the key parts of the rescued person under the force applied by the operator;

[0036] The processing module 104 is connected to the pressure sensor 102 and is used to determine whether the operator's operating force meets the standard and whether the operating position is correct based on the target operating force and the operator's operating force and operating position, so as to prompt the operator's operation.

[0037] First of all, the Heimlich maneuver requires accurate positioning on the one hand and sufficient force on the other hand to ensure that the foreign body is successfully discharged from the airway.

[0038] In the present invention, the intelligent auxiliary device is used to achieve auxiliary positioning and force monitoring, thereby improving rescue efficiency.

[0039] First, the strap 101 is an adjustable strap made of a high-strength elastic material, such as a nylon and silicone composite material, and its length ranges from 50 to 150 cm.

[0040] A pressure sensor 102 is provided in the center of the strap 101, wherein the pressure sensors are arranged in an array, specifically as follows: Figure 2 As shown, specifically, on the inner side of the strap 101, it covers the area between the xiphoid process point and the navel position on the abdomen of the rescued person. When the operator operates on the pressure sensor 102 of the strap 101, the pressure sensor 102 can detect the operator's operating force and operating position.

[0041] The impact plate 103, located outside the strap 101, guides the operator's positioning. Once the strap 101 is secured, the operator applies force to the impact plate 103, preventing incorrect positioning caused by operating outside the intended area. The impact plate 103 corresponds to the central area between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus, ensuring that the operator's force is applied to a critical area on the patient, effectively dislodging foreign matter from the patient's airway.

[0042] To ensure more accurate placement of the strap 101, the intelligent assistance device also includes an umbilical mark T and a xiphoid process acupoint mark Q, located on the outside of the strap 101, corresponding to the upper and lower positions of the impact plate 103. These marks are used to align the umbilical mark and xiphoid process acupoint when the strap 101 is attached to the victim's abdomen. The umbilical mark corresponds to the umbilical mark, and the xiphoid process acupoint mark corresponds to the xiphoid process acupoint.

[0043] Although the above structure has provided certain operation guidance for the operator, there will still be certain differences in the actual operation process. Therefore, the processing module 104, by connecting to the pressure sensor 102, can determine whether the operator's operation force meets the standard and whether the operation position is correct based on the target operation force, the operator's operation force and the operation position, so as to provide prompts for the operator's operation.

[0044] For example, if the operation position is to the left, the processing module 104 may determine that the operator is to move the operation position to the right.

[0045] There are several ways to prompt the operator on how to proceed:

[0046] Indicator light prompts:

[0047] The intelligent assistance device further includes an indicator light 105 , which is disposed on the outside of the strap 101 and connected to the processing module 104 and is used to indicate the operator's operating status.

[0048] For example, according to the order of yellow light, green light and red light, the system will prompt insufficient operation force, appropriate operation force and excessive operation force.

[0049] Haptic feedback tips:

[0050] The tactile feedback device is provided inside the strap and connected to the processing module 104 for providing feedback on the operator's operating status.

[0051] Specifically, the tactile feedback device includes: a vibration device, including: a vibration motor, which is used to provide feedback through vibration prompts based on the operator's operating status.

[0052] For example, a mild vibration indicates that the operation force is insufficient, a strong vibration indicates that the operation force is excessive, and so on.

[0053] The target operation force is specifically set by the processing module 104 based on the height and weight of the rescued person.

[0054] Specifically, a force prediction model is obtained through the processing module 104; the height and weight of the rescued person are input into the force prediction model, thereby obtaining the target operation force.

[0055] Specifically, the force prediction model is derived by collecting the historical height and weight of rescued individuals, as well as the historical force of successful rescues. This is then fed into a deep neural network model for training, resulting in a force prediction model.

[0056] The corresponding target operation intensity is different for rescued persons of different heights and weights.

[0057] By observing and understanding the height and weight information of the rescued person before the operator operates, and inputting it into the intelligent auxiliary device, the target operation force is obtained, and the operation is judged based on this standard.

[0058] The operator is instructed to operate according to the target operating force. As for the operating position, the midpoint between the xiphoid process and the umbilicus is used as the standard position for comparison.

[0059] The intelligent auxiliary device also includes: a buzzer connected to the processing module 104, which is used to automatically alarm and push the alarm information to the associated device when the processing module 104 determines that the operator's operation impact times reach a preset number, the operator's operation force does not meet the standard and the operation position is incorrect.

[0060] Taking 3 impacts as the standard, if the operating force of the 3 impacts does not reach the target operating force and the operating position is also incorrect, the buzzer alarm will be activated to alert the operator through the buzzer alarm. The operator can also contact other people for assistance in the operation by directly pushing information.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the end of the strap 101 uses a magnetic buckle or a latch-type lock buckle to fix the strap 101.

[0062] The intelligent auxiliary device can be used not only in homes and hospitals but also in other public emergency places, without limitation here.

[0063] One or more technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention have at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0064] The present invention provides an intelligent assistive device based on the Heimlich maneuver, comprising: a strap for being tied to the abdomen of a person being rescued; a pressure sensor arranged on the inner side of the strap, covering the area between the xiphoid acupuncture point and the navel position on the abdomen of the person being rescued, and used to detect the operation force and operation position of an operator; an impact plate corresponding to the central area between the xiphoid acupuncture point and the navel position, and used to act on the key parts of the person being rescued under the force applied by the operator; and a processing module connected to the pressure sensor array, and used to determine whether the operator's operation force meets the standard and whether the operation position is correct based on the target operation force and the operator's operation force and operation position, so as to prompt the operator's operation, thereby quickly assisting the operator in performing the Heimlich maneuver and improving the efficiency of first aid.
