Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the medical field, in particular to a wearable vest for children's sleep monitoring. Background Art

[0002] Sleep monitoring is a technology currently used in sleep medicine and is also known as the "gold standard" for diagnosing sleep disorders in the world's sleep research community. It is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and treatment of various sleep disorder-related diseases.

[0003] The sleep monitoring system is mainly used to diagnose sleep breathing disorders, including sleep apnea syndrome OSA, snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome, etc. It is also used for auxiliary diagnosis of other sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy, insomnia classification, etc. In the monitoring of sleep breathing disorders, the monitoring signal often includes multiple parameters such as oral and nasal airflow and respiratory movement, blood oxygen, snoring, body position, etc. Medical staff can analyze the monitoring results accurately and informatively, and provide clinical basis for matching personalized treatment plans in the future.

[0004] During the monitoring process, the patient needs to wear a device used to monitor sleep conditions, namely a sleep apnea screening device. The sleep apnea screening device includes multiple components such as a main unit, a nasal airflow duct, a chest fixation strap, a respiratory detector, a finger-clip oximeter, and chest and abdominal respiratory lead wires. These monitoring devices can continuously and synchronously record nasal respiratory airflow and snoring signals, chest respiratory movements, blood oxygen saturation and pulse signals, etc. during the patient's sleep. After automatic analysis by the instrument, each item is manually verified and a diagnosis report is issued.

[0005] However, the above sleep monitoring equipment has the following problems in actual use:

[0006] First, because there are many and complicated tubes and wires connecting the devices, especially when used for children's sleep monitoring, a large number of long tubes are scattered in front of the children, which is not only difficult to organize, but also the children may pull the tubes at will in their sleep, which may cause the device connection to be interrupted, and then the sleep monitoring will fail, and the sleep monitoring needs to be rearranged.

[0007] Second, since the chest strap and children's clothes are relatively independent and the weight that the strap can bear is limited, the strap with the breath detector is easily displaced due to force, which causes the corresponding chest movement sensor to be unable to detect the actual chest movement data, resulting in errors in the actual detection results.

[0008] 3. The host is usually bound to the child's upper arm. The host box needs to be connected to the respiratory detector and the finger-clip oximeter. After the child falls asleep, it is easy for the child to turn over and compress the host box or pull the wires. The compression can easily affect the child's sleep. Family members or medical staff are also required to pay extra attention to whether the wires have fallen off. This not only wastes other people's time and energy, but also needs to be reconnected after falling off, which can easily wake up the child and affect the sleep monitoring.

[0009] Therefore, there is a need for a children's sleep monitoring wearable vest that can effectively organize catheter wires, prevent the chest strap from shifting, and avoid the influence of the main box on sleep. Utility Model Content

[0010] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a wearable vest for children's sleep monitoring, which can effectively store catheter wires and avoid accidental displacement of the fixing belt. The tightness of the fixing belt can be flexibly adjusted according to the child's body shape, and a reasonable fixing position is provided for the main box without affecting normal use.

[0011] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0012] A wearable vest for children's sleep monitoring comprises a vest body, a fixing belt for use with the vest, a breathing detector, a finger-clip type oximeter and a main box for displaying monitoring data. The inner side of the vest body is provided with an interlayer for inserting catheters and wires, the interlayer is provided with a first opening near the collar, the vest body is provided with a second opening connected to the interlayer at a position corresponding to the chest, the vest body is provided with a positioning ring at a position corresponding to the chest and / or back, the breathing detector is arranged on the fixing belt, the fixing belt can pass through the positioning ring, and is fixed around the vest body, and also includes an adjustment structure for adjusting the tightness of the fixing belt.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the children's sleep monitoring wearable vest adopting the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The child sleep monitoring vest of the utility model is adopted, and the matching structure of the interlayer, the first opening and the second opening is utilized, so that the nasal catheter that is relatively long for children can be effectively arranged and stored in the interlayer, avoiding a series of problems caused by the catheter being distributed in front of the child, and the first opening located at the collar is convenient for the nasal catheter to be connected to the child, and the wire connected to the nasal catheter will extend from the second opening, which is convenient for connecting with the respiratory detector located on the chest. The part of the catheter wire exposed to the outside is very small, which can reduce the problem of accidental interruption of the device caused by the child pulling without affecting the normal use of the sleep device.

[0016] Second, by limiting the position of the fixing belt through the positioning ring, after the fixing belt is wrapped around the chest and fixed, the vest body, the fixing belt and the child can be temporarily fixed, and the problem of the fixing belt shifting autonomously will not occur. As a result, the respiratory detector and chest movement sensor can be stably fixed on the chest to maintain their accurate position monitoring function, thereby improving the accuracy of sleep monitoring results.

[0017] Third, the tightness of the fixing belt can be adjusted in real time through the adjustment structure to suit children of different fat or thin levels, so as to further increase the tightness of the connection between the vest body, the fixing belt and the child, and further improve the accuracy of the monitoring results.

[0018] Preferably, the fixing belt is divided into a chest belt and a back belt, one end of the back belt is buckled and fixed to the chest belt by a buckle, the adjustment structure is arranged between the other end of the back belt and the chest belt, and the width of the chest belt exceeds the width of the back belt. The wider chest belt provides a sufficiently wide force-bearing surface for the respiratory detector, so that the respiratory detector and the chest belt are tightly connected, and the respiratory detector fixed on the chest belt will not shake at will, and the respiratory detector and chest movement sensor are effectively maintained in the current position for monitoring; and it can effectively increase the force-bearing area between the child and the chest belt, thereby reducing the pressure on the child's chest, so that the child's chest movement breathing can proceed normally.

[0019] Preferably, the adjustment structure includes an adjustment buckle and a rotating shaft. The adjustment buckle is arranged at the end of the chest strap away from the buckle. The adjustment buckle is hollow inside. The rotating shaft is rotatably arranged in the middle of the adjustment buckle. A through slot is arranged on the side of the adjustment buckle away from the chest strap. The end of the back strap away from the buckle can be inserted into the adjustment buckle and wrap around the rotating shaft. The back strap can be inserted from the through slot and attached to the surface of the back strap. The overall length of the fixing belt wrapped around the body can be adjusted by controlling the length of the back strap extending from the through slot, thereby adjusting the tightness of the fixing belt.

[0020] Preferably, the end of the chest strap away from the buckle extends outward to form a decompression pad, and the adjustment buckle is located on the decompression pad. The decompression pad between the adjustment buckle and the child is used to block the adjustment buckle and relieve the mechanical pressure caused, thereby avoiding the discomfort of the child when sleeping while satisfying the function of adjusting the fixing belt.

[0021] Preferably, a locking assembly for limiting the rotation state of the rotating shaft is also included, the locking assembly includes a locking groove, a locking rod and a limiting block, the locking groove runs through the side surface of the adjusting buckle to the inside of the rotating shaft, the limiting block is arranged at one end of the locking rod, the end of the locking rod away from the limiting block is meshed with the groove bottom of the locking groove, the adjusting buckle is provided with a limiting groove for the limiting block to be embedded, when the locking rod enters the locking groove, the limiting block enters the limiting groove to form a complete adjusting buckle. Through the meshing structure between the locking rod and the locking groove, when the locking rod is inserted into the locking groove and the limiting block is inserted into the limiting groove, the rotating shaft will be limited to rotate, and under the restriction of the back strap body attached and the synchronous restriction of the groove, the current tightness of the fixed belt is locked.

[0022] Preferably, a limiting ring is further provided in the lock slot, and an anti-dropping ring adapted to the limiting ring is provided on the outer wall of the lock rod. The displacement path of the lock rod is limited by the blocking effect of the limiting ring in the lock slot on the anti-dropping ring, thereby preventing the lock rod from arbitrarily leaving the lock slot, so as to facilitate multiple adjustments or repeated use of the locking assembly.

[0023] Preferably, the vest body is provided with a host bag, and a slot for inserting the host box is provided on the side of the host bag facing the collar, and a cover is connected to the vest body, and the width of the cover does not exceed the slot width, and the cover can be turned over to cover and connected to the surface of the host bag. By storing the host box as a whole in the host bag, there is no need to tie the host box to the upper arm, avoiding discomfort in the arm when the child turns over, and the cover does not affect the connection of the wires between the devices when it is sealed, and does not affect the normal operation of each sleep monitoring device.

[0024] Preferably, the host bag and the cover are both made of transparent materials. By utilizing the light-transmitting properties of the transparent materials, medical staff can visually observe the data fed back on the host box screen without taking the host box out of the host bag, thus avoiding affecting the sleep of the child and effectively improving the efficiency of monitoring work.

[0025] Preferably, the host bag is arranged at the positions on both sides of the abdomen of the vest body. The host bag is arranged near the child's fingers, so that the distance between the host box in the bag and the finger clip oximeter, as well as the distance between the host box and the respiratory detector are close, and the redundant exposed wires can be placed in the host bag, reducing the risk of wires being pulled without affecting normal monitoring.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 The children's sleep monitoring wearable vest shown includes a vest body 1, a matching fixing belt 2, a breathing detector 3, a finger-clip blood oximeter 4 and a main box 5 for displaying monitoring data, and also includes an adjustment structure 6 for adjusting the tightness of the fixing belt 2.

[0035] Among them, the respiratory detector 3, the finger-clip blood oximeter 4 and the main box 5 for displaying monitoring data are all components of the sleep monitoring equipment set in the prior art. The respiratory detector 3 contains an airflow sensor, a respiratory rate module and a chest movement sensor. The finger-clip blood oximeter 4 is a finger-clip blood oxygen saturation detection instrument. The fixing belt 2 has a built-in sensing module that can be connected to the chest movement sensor circuit. The respiratory detector 3 can be connected to the sensing module in the fixing belt 2 through the chest and abdomen breathing lead line.

[0036] The inner side of the vest body 1 is provided with an interlayer 10 for inserting a catheter and a wire, the interlayer 10 is provided with a first opening 11 near the collar, and the position of the vest body 1 corresponding to the chest is provided with a second opening 12 connected to the interlayer 10. In this embodiment, the nasal catheter in the sleep monitoring device set is selected as an example, and the interlayer 10 can store the nasal catheter.

[0037] The fixing belt 2 is divided into a chest belt body 20 and a back belt body 21. The breath detector 3 is arranged on the chest belt body 20. The vest body 1 is provided with a positioning ring 13 corresponding to the position of the chest and / or back. The fixing belt 2 as a whole can pass through the positioning ring 13 and be fixed around the vest body 1.

[0038] Regarding the position of the positioning ring 13, it can be set at the position of the vest body 1 corresponding to the chest, or it can be set at the position of the vest body 1 corresponding to the back, or it can be set at the position of the vest body 1 corresponding to the chest and back at the same time. The three states can achieve the purpose of limiting the position of the fixing belt 2. In this embodiment, for the convenience of understanding, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the positioning ring 13 is arranged at a position of the vest body 1 corresponding to the back.

[0039] Regarding the docking structure of the fixing belt 2 , one end of the back belt body 21 is buckled and fixed to the chest belt body 20 through a buckle 22 , and the adjustment structure 6 is arranged between the other end of the back belt body 21 and the chest belt body 20 .

[0040] The structure in which the back strap 21 is buckled with the chest strap 20 by means of a buckle 22 may adopt the buckling structure of backpack straps in the prior art; and in this embodiment, in order to increase the supporting effect on the breath detector 3, the width of the chest strap 20 exceeds the width of the back strap 21, that is, the chest strap 20 provides a sufficiently large force-bearing support surface.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment structure 6 includes an adjustment buckle 60 and a rotating shaft 61. The adjustment buckle 60 is arranged at one end of the chest belt body 20 away from the buckle 22. The adjustment buckle 60 is hollow inside. The rotating shaft 61 is rotatably arranged in the middle of the adjustment buckle 60. The side of the adjustment buckle 60 away from the chest belt body 20 is provided with a through slot 62. The end of the back belt body 21 away from the buckle 22 can be inserted into the adjustment buckle 60 and surround the rotating shaft 61. The back belt body 21 can pass through the through slot 62 and adhere to the surface of the back belt body 21. The outer surface of the rotating shaft 61 is provided with a damping layer made of elastic silicone, which can effectively increase the friction resistance between the rotating shaft 61 and the back belt body 20.

[0042] The attachment structure of the back strap 21 can adopt a connection structure of self-adhesive tape or Velcro. In this embodiment, a Velcro attachment structure is selected. Considering the comfort level of children wearing, the end of the back strap 21 passing through the groove 62 is provided with a Velcro hook surface, and the surface of the back strap 21 is provided with a Velcro fleece surface.

[0043] In order to prevent the adjustment buckle 60 from affecting the wearing comfort of children, the end of the chest strap 20 away from the buckle 22 extends outward to form a decompression pad 23 , and the adjustment buckle 60 is located on the decompression pad 23 .

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a locking assembly for limiting the rotation state of the rotating shaft 61, the locking assembly includes a locking groove 70, a locking rod 71 and a limit block 72, the locking groove 70 extends from one side surface of the adjusting buckle 60 to the interior of the rotating shaft 61, the limit block 72 is arranged at one end of the locking rod 71, the end of the locking rod 71 away from the limit block 72 is engaged with the bottom of the locking groove 70, the adjusting buckle 60 is provided with a limit groove 73 for the limit block 72 to be embedded, when the locking rod 71 enters the lock groove 70, the limit block 72 enters the limit groove 73 to form a complete adjusting buckle 60.

[0045] The limiting block 72 and the limiting groove 73 are both non-circular structures, so as to limit the rotation of the rotating shaft 61, and to prevent the locking rod 71 from being separated from the adjusting buckle 60 during the unlocking and adjustment process. Figure 6 As shown, a limiting ring 74 is further provided in the locking groove 70 , and an anti-slip ring 75 adapted to the limiting ring 74 is provided on the outer wall of the locking rod 71 .

[0046] A host pocket 8 is disposed on the vest body 1 . A slot 80 for inserting the host box 5 is formed on a side of the host pocket 8 facing the collar. A cover 81 is connected to the vest body 1 .

[0047] In this embodiment, in order to enable the mainframe box 5 to be normally connected to other devices to ensure normal operation, the width of the cover 81 does not exceed the width of the slot 80 , and the cover 81 can be flipped to cover and connect to the surface of the mainframe bag 8 .

[0048] There are many ways to connect the cover 81 to the surface of the host bag 8, such as Velcro adhesion, magnet adsorption or button docking. In this embodiment, the following methods are used: Figure 6 The magnetic adsorption method shown is that the inner side of the cover 81 and the surface of the host bag 8 are both provided with button-shaped magnetic adsorption sheets.

[0049] In order to facilitate medical staff to directly observe the data on the screen of the main box 5, the main box bag 8 and the cover 81 are made of transparent materials, such as acrylic or soft plastic. Considering the comfort level when children wear them, transparent soft plastic is selected in this embodiment.

[0050] In addition, in order to prevent excessive restriction of the child's hand movements when the mainframe box 5 is docked with the finger clip type oximeter 4, the mainframe pocket 8 is arranged at the position corresponding to both sides of the abdomen of the vest body 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the host bag 8 is arranged at a position of the vest body 1 close to the finger clip type blood oxygen meter 4.

[0051] The following is the usage of this embodiment:

[0052] First, pass the butt end of the nasal catheter and the child through the second opening 12 into the interlayer 10, and pass the butt end of the nasal catheter out of the first opening 11 at the collar, and then connect the other end of the nasal catheter to the breath detector 3, put the vest body 1 on the child, and connect the nasal catheter passing through the first opening 11 to the child's nostrils; pull open the cover 81, connect the main box 5 with the finger-clip oximeter 4 through a wire, put the main box 5 into the main bag 8, and cover the cover 81, and clamp the finger-clip oximeter 4 on the child's finger.

[0053] Under normal conditions, the end of the back strap 21 away from the buckle 22 is temporarily docked with the adjustment buckle 60. After completing the above steps, the back strap 21 is then passed through the positioning ring 13, and the chest strap 20 is lifted up to the chest. The back strap 21 is buckled with the chest strap 20 through the buckle 22, and the respiratory detector 3 is connected to the sensing module circuit of the back strap 21 through the chest and abdomen respiratory lead line, and the main box 5 is connected to the respiratory detector 3 through a wire.

[0054] At this point, the wearing and connection operations of the main structure have been completed. However, due to the different body shapes of different children, it is necessary to adjust the overall tightness of the fixing belt 2, such as Figure 6 As shown, the limit block 72 is pulled so that the locking block gradually moves away from the bottom of the locking groove 70, thereby releasing the restriction on the rotating shaft 61. At this time, the rotating shaft 61 can rotate freely. Figure 3 As shown, pull the end of the back strap 21 that passes through the slot 62 to release the Velcro fixing effect of the end, and continue pulling to allow more of the back strap 21 to pass through the slot 62. At this time, the entire fixing belt 2 will gradually fit tightly and fixed on the child's chest; if the fixing belt 2 needs to be loosened, pull the back strap 21 that passes through the adjustment buckle 60 and perform the reverse operation.

[0055] During this process, due to the blocking effect of the limit ring 74 on the anti-slip ring 75, the locking rod 71 will not separate from the adjusting buckle 60. After adjusting to the required tightness, the limit block 72 is reinserted into the limit groove 73, that is, the end of the locking rod 71 is re-engaged with the bottom of the locking groove 70. Due to the restriction of the special-shaped structure of the limit block 72, when the locking groove 70 and the locking rod 71 are temporarily fixed, the rotation of the rotating shaft 61 will be restricted, thereby achieving the re-locking of the adjusting buckle 60.

[0056] After the sleep monitoring is completed, the monitoring vest can be removed from the child by performing the above-mentioned reverse operation.

[0057] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may make several modifications and improvements without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements shall also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
