Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of TCM diagnostic and treatment equipment for kidney stones, specifically a TCM diagnostic and treatment device and method for diagnosing a constitution prone to kidney stones. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine has always emphasized disease prevention. The concept of "treating disease before it manifests" first appeared in the *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic). In the *Suwen* (Plain Questions) chapter "On Regulating the Spirit in Accordance with the Four Seasons," it states: "Therefore, the sage does not treat disease that has already manifested, but rather disease that has not yet manifested; he does not treat disorder that has already occurred, but rather disorder that has not yet occurred. This is what it means. To administer medicine after disease has already developed, or to govern after disorder has already occurred, is like digging a well when thirsty or forging a weapon when already in battle—is it not too late?" This vividly points out the importance of "treating disease before it manifests." It is also found in the *Suwen* chapter "On Acupuncture for Heat": "Those with kidney heat disease will first turn red on their chin. Even though the disease has not yet manifested, if redness is seen, acupuncture should be performed. This is called treating disease before it manifests." In the context of kidney stones, this refers to stones that have not yet formed and are visible on ultrasound, or urinary crystals visible under a microscope. If left untreated, these can develop into clinical stones. Urinary tract diseases are common, referring to the accumulation of solid crystalline substances within the urinary system. The urinary system includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Stones formed in these organs can cause pain, infection, and other serious complications. Because the recurrence cycle of kidney stones is long and the causes are complex, and existing prevention programs have too wide a range of dietary restrictions and cannot be quantified, patients find it difficult to follow up on dietary prevention programs. If long-term drug prevention is relied upon, patients not only bear a heavy economic burden, but also have to bear the physiological and psychological burden of taking medication. During follow-up, medical staff lack objective indicators such as blood sugar and blood pressure values, making it difficult to judge the patient's implementation of the program. This not only leads to inefficient doctor-patient communication, but also makes it difficult to accurately manage the chronic disease of kidney stones. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a TCM diagnostic and treatment device and method for diagnosing a predisposition to kidney stones. This device and method have the advantages of accurately diagnosing a predisposition to kidney stones and identifying the causes of kidney stone recurrence. It solves the problems of long recurrence cycles and complex causes of kidney stones, as well as the difficulty for patients to implement dietary prevention plans due to the excessively broad and quantifiable dietary restrictions in prevention programs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic and treatment device and method for diagnosing a predisposition to kidney stones, comprising a housing, a detection mechanism installed on one side of the inner cavity of the housing, the detection mechanism comprising a carrier component and an analysis component, the carrier component comprising a guide rail and a loading tray, the carrier component being used to carry urine test strips, the analysis component comprising a mounting plate, a polarized light microscope and an electrochemical sensor, the polarized light microscope and the electrochemical sensor being both mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate, the mounting plate being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, the analysis component being used to analyze urine, a control motherboard installed on the other side of the inner cavity of the housing, a touch screen installed at the front end of the top of the housing, a printer installed at the rear end of the top of the housing, a wiring board installed on the back of the housing, the output terminals of the polarized light microscope, the electrochemical sensor and the touch screen being connected to the input terminals of the control motherboard, and the output terminals of the control motherboard being connected to the input terminals of the touch screen and the printer respectively; The diagnostic method includes the following steps: A. First, the characteristics of the predisposition to kidney stones are input into the control motherboard via the touch screen, enabling the control motherboard to establish a kidney stone characteristic database. The database is used to score the predisposition to kidney stones. The predisposition to kidney stones is scored in two modes: a general mode and a local mode. The two modes describe different characteristics of the predisposition to kidney stones and include information on overall symptoms and urinary crystals. a1. The overall pattern is the dominant feature of the symptoms in patients with gallstones, and is divided into levels 1 to 2. Level 1 indicates that the patient's constitution is close to a balanced constitution, Level 2 indicates that the patient's constitution is very different from a balanced constitution. The lower level of the overall pattern indicates that the patient's constitution is relatively close to a balanced constitution, while the higher level of the overall pattern indicates that the patient's constitution is obviously abnormal. a2. The local pattern describes the characteristics of urine crystals and is also divided into levels, similar to the scoring of the primary pattern. The secondary pattern and the primary pattern together constitute the stone susceptibility score. a3. The sum of the predisposition scores for kidney stones ranges between 1 and 2. The higher the score, the more likely the stones are to recur. B. Then the urine is analyzed and tested; b1. Place the urine-adhered test strip inside the tray. The output shaft of the servo motor rotates forward, driving the drive gear to rotate. When the drive gear rotates, it drives the driven gear to rotate. When the driven gear rotates, it drives the threaded rod to rotate. When the threaded rod rotates, it drives the threaded sleeve to move backward along the surface of the threaded rod. When the threaded sleeve moves, it drives the tray to move backward along the inner cavity of the slide groove through the slider, so that the urine test strip moves to the bottom of the mounting plate. The electrochemical sensor uses the electrochemical principle to convert the concentration of urine into an electrical signal. By measuring the characteristics of these electrical signals, the crystallization information of urine is determined. The polarized light microscope uses the polarization characteristics of light by crystals and particles in urine to analyze the polarization characteristics of light. By measuring the change in the polarization state of light after passing through urine, the type and morphology of crystals in urine are determined. The polarized light microscope and the electrochemical sensor send the detection data to the control motherboard, which summarizes the detection data. b2. During urine analysis, the mainboard combines the stone characteristics in the database to generate a questionnaire and displays it on the touch screen for the patient to answer. The patient scores the overall pattern by filling in the questionnaire information. The mainboard summarizes the questionnaire information and urine test information and compares it with the characteristic information in the database to score the predisposition to stone. D. Finally, the control board prints out the urine test information and the score of the person prone to kidney stones through the printer. The control board is also equipped with a storage unit to store the test data each time, so that it can be compared next time it is used.

[0005] Preferably, the scoring of the overall and local patterns of stone assessment in step A is as follows: 1) A stone-prone constitution score of 6 (3+3) indicates that the patient's constitution is relatively normal and is often considered to have a low risk of recurrence, slow stone growth, and easy prevention. 2) A stone-prone constitution score of 7 (3+4 and 4+3) indicates that the patient's constitution has certain abnormalities and belongs to the medium risk of recurrence. Prevention depends on the relative proportion of the overall pattern and the local pattern. 3) A score of 8 to 10 indicates a significant abnormality in the patient's constitution, signifying a high risk of recurrence, rapid stone growth, and difficulty in prevention.

[0006] Preferably, the power switch and expansion socket are installed on the surface of the terminal block, the output end of the terminal block is connected to the input end of the control main board, the guide rail is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing, and the tray is located in the inner cavity of the guide rail and is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the guide rail.

[0007] Preferably, the carrier assembly further includes a servo motor, a slider, a slide groove, a threaded rod, a threaded sleeve, a driving gear, and a driven gear. The servo motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the threaded rod is located in the inner cavity of the guide rail.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the threaded rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail via a bearing, the threaded sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the threaded rod and is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod, and the end of the threaded sleeve away from the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the loading tray.

[0009] Preferably, the slide groove is formed on both sides of the inner cavity of the guide rail, one end of the slider is fixedly connected to the loading tray, and the other end of the slider extends into the inner cavity of the slide groove and is movably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove.

[0010] Preferably, the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the drive gear, the drive gear meshes with the driven gear, the other end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the driven gear, and the end of the driven gear away from the threaded rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the housing through a bearing.

[0011] Preferably, the polarizing microscope can be of the Eclipse-Pol series, the electrochemical sensor can be of the JEC7 series, the touch screen can be of the HMI-TP-1200 series, and the control motherboard can be of the SJL5245A series.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention, through its casing, detection mechanism, control motherboard, touchscreen, printer, and junction box, enables the diagnosis of individuals prone to kidney stones. The detection mechanism analyzes and detects basic information from urine, the control motherboard summarizes and processes the detection information, the touchscreen allows for operation, the printer prints the test results, and the junction box connects to an external power source for further expansion.

First, the characteristics of the predisposition to kidney stones are input into the control motherboard 3 via the touch screen 4, so that the control motherboard 3 can establish a kidney stone characteristic database. The predisposition to kidney stones is scored through the database. The predisposition to kidney stones is scored in two modes: overall mode and local mode. The two modes describe different characteristics of the predisposition to kidney stones and include information on overall symptoms and urine crystals. a1. The overall pattern is the dominant feature of the symptoms in patients with gallstones, and is divided into 1 to 5 levels. Level 1 indicates that the patient's constitution is close to a balanced constitution, while level 5 indicates that the patient's constitution is very different from a balanced constitution. The lower level of the overall pattern indicates that the patient's constitution is relatively close to a balanced constitution, while the higher level of the overall pattern indicates that the patient's constitution is obviously abnormal. a2. The local pattern describes the characteristics of urine crystals and is also divided into 1 to 5 levels, similar to the primary pattern score.

The servo motor 213 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the threaded rod 216 is located in the inner cavity of the guide rail 211.

[0027] Its diagnostic method includes the following steps: A. First, the characteristics of the predisposition to kidney stones are input into the control motherboard 3 via the touch screen 4, so that the control motherboard 3 can establish a kidney stone characteristic database. The predisposition to kidney stones is scored through the database. The predisposition to kidney stones is scored in two modes: overall mode and local mode. The two modes describe different characteristics of the predisposition to kidney stones and include information on overall symptoms and urine crystals. a1. The overall pattern is the dominant feature of the symptoms in patients with gallstones, and is divided into 1 to 5 levels. Level 1 indicates that the patient's constitution is close to a balanced constitution, while level 5 indicates that the patient's constitution is very different from a balanced constitution. The lower level of the overall pattern indicates that the patient's constitution is relatively close to a balanced constitution, while the higher level of the overall pattern indicates that the patient's constitution is obviously abnormal. a2. The local pattern describes the characteristics of urine crystals and is also divided into 1 to 5 levels, similar to the primary pattern score. The secondary pattern and the primary pattern together constitute the stone susceptibility score. a3. The total score of the predisposition to kidney stones is between 6 and 10. The higher the score, the more likely the stones are to recur. B. Then the urine is analyzed and tested; b1. Place the urine-adhered test strip into the inner cavity of the carrier tray 212. The output shaft of the servo motor 213 rotates clockwise, driving the drive gear 218 to rotate. When the drive gear 218 rotates, it drives the driven gear 219 to rotate. When the driven gear 219 rotates, it drives the threaded rod 216 to rotate. When the threaded rod 216 rotates, it drives the threaded sleeve 217 to move backward along the surface of the threaded rod 216. When the threaded sleeve 217 moves, it drives the carrier tray 212 to move backward along the inner cavity of the slide groove 215 via the slider 214, causing the urine test strip to move. At the bottom of the mounting plate 221, the electrochemical sensor 223 uses electrochemical principles to convert the concentration of urine into an electrical signal. By measuring the characteristics of these electrical signals, the crystallization information of urine is determined. The polarization microscope 222 uses the polarization characteristics of light by crystals and particles in urine to analyze the polarization of light. By measuring the change in the polarization state of light after passing through urine, the type and morphology of crystals in urine are determined. The polarization microscope 222 and the electrochemical sensor 223 send the detection data to the control motherboard 3, which summarizes the detection data. b2. During the urine analysis, the main board 3 combines the stone characteristics in the database to generate a questionnaire and displays it on the touch screen 4 for the patient to answer. The patient scores the overall pattern by filling in the questionnaire information. The main board 3 summarizes the questionnaire information and urine test information and compares it with the characteristic information in the database to score the predisposition to stone. D. Finally, the control motherboard 3 prints the urine test information and the score of the predisposition to kidney stones through the printer 5. The control motherboard 3 is also equipped with a storage unit that can store the test data each time, so that it can be compared next time it is used.

The end of the driven gear 219 away from the threaded rod 216 is movably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 through a bearing.
