[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-3 The present application proposes an integrated injection-molded electrode belt for EIT equipment, the electrode belt comprising a base belt 4, an electrode sheet 2, a conductive component and a connector 1. A plurality of electrode sheets 2 are provided, and the plurality of electrode sheets 2 are arranged at intervals on the base belt 4. The electrode sheets 2 are electrically connected to the connector 1 through the conductive component, and the connector 1 is connected to the base belt 4. By integrating the conductive component in the base belt 4, the conductive component is a signal transmission line, and the connector is used to gather all the signal transmission lines, the structure is simplified, the production is convenient, and the operation of the staff is facilitated.

[0028] Specifically, in order to solve the problems of complex structure, high production cost and low production efficiency of the existing electrode belt, in this embodiment, the electrode belt includes a base belt 4, an electrode sheet 2, a conductive component and a connector 1. The base belt 4 is made of skin-friendly, washable and soft materials, so that the electrode belt can be immersed, disinfected and cleaned on the basis of ensuring comfort in use, thereby ensuring the repeated practicality and cleanliness of the product. A plurality of electrode sheets 2 are arranged on the base belt 4 at intervals, and the connector 1 is arranged at the end of the base belt 4. The connector 1 includes a connector body and a connection port. One end of the connector body is connected to the base belt 4, and the connection port is arranged in the connector body. The connection port is electrically connected to the electrode sheet through the conductive component. The conductive component includes a conductive cable 3 and a conducting plate 6. The number of the conducting plates 6 is equivalent to the number of the electrode sheets 2. The conducting plate 6 is arranged on the base belt 4, and the conducting plate 6 is in contact with the electrode sheet 2. All the conducting plates 6 are connected to the connection port of the connector through the conductive cable 3. The conductive cable 3 is arranged in the base belt 4. The conductive cable 3 includes a plurality of extremely fine lead wires, each of which is connected to the corresponding conducting plate 6 and then converged at the connector. In order to simplify the production steps of the electrode belt, before production, the conductive cable 3, the connector 1 and the conductive plate 6 are first welded together, and then the above-mentioned welded whole is placed in the injection mold, and the production of the baseband 4 is completed by one injection molding. At this time, the conductive cable 3 and the conductive plate 6 are both located in the baseband 4. It should be noted that in order to facilitate the contact and connection between the conductive plate 6 and the electrode sheet 2, when the conductive plate 6 is once injection molded on the baseband 4, one side surface of the conductive plate 6 is located on the surface of the baseband 4, and the surface of the conductive plate 6 is exposed. Finally, a secondary injection molding is performed to fix the electrode sheet 2 on the surface of the electrode baseband 4. Except that welding needs to be performed manually, other steps can be completed by injection molding, which simplifies the production steps, reduces manual participation, and has a fast production speed and high efficiency. By integrating the conductive cable 3 for external signal transmission into the baseband, using the connector 1 to collect all signal lines, and then transmitting them to the main cable 7 through the connector, and then transmitting them to the inside of the impedance imaging device 8, the problem of complex use is solved. When in use, the electrode belt can be directly passed through the human body for fixing and connected to the connector to work, which greatly facilitates the operator to use.

[0029] In order to solve the problem of poor fit of the existing electrode belt, in this embodiment, an auxiliary plate 5 is provided in the middle of the baseband 4. Through the curved auxiliary plate 5, after the electrode belt is fixed to the appropriate position of the chest circumference, the auxiliary plate 5 fits the spine position, thereby increasing the fit between the electrode belt and the human body. Specifically, the baseband 4 includes a first baseband segment and a second baseband segment, one end of the auxiliary plate 5 is connected to the end of the first baseband segment away from the joint, and the other end of the auxiliary plate 5 is connected to the end of the second baseband segment away from the joint. The auxiliary plate 5 is recessed toward the side of the baseband 4 close to the electrode sheet 2 to form an arc-shaped portion. The arc-shaped portion can fit the patient's spine position. By adding the auxiliary plate 5, the fit at the patient's spine is increased, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0030] When the utility model is used, the electrode belt is tied to the corresponding part of the human body, fixed at the corresponding position through the two-end connectors 1, one end of the connector of the main cable 7 is connected to the impedance imaging device 8, and the other end is connected to the two-end connectors 1 of the electrode belt. After power is turned on, it can work. After power is turned on, the current flows through the conductive cable 3 to the conductive plate 6, and then enters the human body through the electrode sheet 2, so as to collect data and complete the collection of human body impedance data. The utility model can be prepared by injection molding, thereby improving production efficiency, improving operation convenience and reducing costs. It only needs to tie the electrode belt to the corresponding position and connect the cable to work. It is simple to operate, simple to produce, safe and reliable.

[0031] The utility model is an electrode belt for an electrical impedance imaging device, which integrates a signal transmission function and a signal acquisition function on a baseband 4, adopts an extremely fine lead wire as a conductive cable 3, which is injection-molded inside the electrode baseband 4 to complete signal transmission, and adopts a secondary injection molding method to injection-mold and adhere an electrode sheet 2 to the surface of the baseband 4 to complete the fixation of the electrode sheet 2, adopts a connector with locking and signal transmission as a connector 1, and realizes signal transmission on the basis of achieving locking and fixation of the electrode belt, adopts a conduction plate to replace the ECG buckle inside the existing solution, reduces the thickness of the electrode belt, reduces the generation of pressure wounds, and adds an auxiliary plate 5 in the middle of the electrode belt to increase the fit at the spine, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0032] Of course, the present application may have many other implementations. Based on the present implementation, other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without any creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present application.
