Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a medical device, in particular to a visualized bowel sound collection device. Background Art

[0002] Gastrointestinal motility is a normal physiological function of the human body. When the intestine moves, gas and liquid in the intestinal cavity flow, producing an intermittent sound of gas passing through water (or gurgling sound), which is called bowel sounds. Under normal circumstances, bowel sounds occur 4-5 times per minute, and their frequency is usually between 50-1000Hz, and the duration varies from 5-200 milliseconds. They can be heard throughout the abdomen, and their frequency, sound and tone vary greatly. They are frequent and obvious after meals, and sparse and weak during rest. Under certain pathological conditions, gastrointestinal motility may become hyperactive or weakened, or even disappear, and the frequency and volume of bowel sounds will also change accordingly. Therefore, detecting bowel sounds is a simple and effective method to observe and evaluate the gastrointestinal function of the human body.

[0003] At present, in order to accurately assess the frequency and nature of bowel sounds, the periumbilical area is usually auscultated for at least 1 minute. Most clinicians use a stethoscope to manually auscultate the abdomen, and the results may have certain errors due to different experience of the auscultator, different patient cooperation, or interference from ambient sounds, which affects the clinician's accurate assessment and judgment of the patient's gastrointestinal function status.

[0004] Therefore, a device that is not affected by the environment and can automatically collect and quantify the frequency and nature of bowel sounds is needed, which can reduce the errors in the judgment of the patient's gastrointestinal function caused by different stethoscopes and reduce the workload of clinicians. In addition, it can also allow non-professionals or hearing-impaired people to read the gastrointestinal motility through the screen display. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a visualized bowel sound collection device in order to solve at least one of the above problems, so as to address the lack of a device for visualizing bowel sound measurement in the prior art, thereby realizing the visualization of bowel sound measurement, facilitating clinical doctors to intuitively judge the gastrointestinal function of patients, and enabling non-professionals or hearing-impaired people to read the gastrointestinal motility through the screen display.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0024] The working principle of the utility model is:

[0025] The bowel sound collection device is set in a way that it fits the abdomen of the patient (or the person being tested). First, the patient's bowel sounds are monitored through a sound sensor, and the monitoring information is transmitted to a processing module for processing (including frequency interception, duration interception and information extraction). Then, the processing module transmits the processed information to a display screen for display to complete visualization.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] The utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] Example

[0035] A visual bowel sound collection device, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes a fixing member 1, a display screen 2, a processing module and a sound sensor 5;

[0036] The display screen 2, the processing module and the sound sensor 5 are respectively arranged on the fixing member 1, and the display screen 2 is electrically connected to the sound sensor 5 through the processing module;

[0037] The sound sensor 5 is arranged on the inner side of the fixing member 1 and is used to collect bowel sounds;

[0038] The processing module is used to process the bowel sound information collected by the sound sensor 5;

[0039] The display screen 2 is arranged on the outside of the fixing member 1 and is used to display the information processed by the processing module.

[0040] More specifically, in this embodiment:

[0041] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the bowel sound collection device includes a main body fixing part 1, a display screen 2 arranged on the front of the fixing part 1, a sound sensor 5 arranged on the back of the fixing part 1, and a processing module electrically connecting the display screen 2 and the sound sensor 5.

[0042] The fixing part 1 can be a fixing belt, and the display screen 2 and the sound sensor 5 are respectively arranged at the center position of the front and back sides of the fixing belt. More specifically, the parts of the fixing belt on both sides of the display screen 2 and the sound sensor 5 are retractable elastic belts, and mutually matching connection structures are respectively arranged at the two ends of the fixing belt, or weights are respectively arranged at the two ends of the fixing belt; thus, the fixing belt can be enclosed in the patient's abdomen through the connection structure when the patient takes a sitting position, or the bowel sound collection device can be made close to the abdomen through the weight when the patient takes a lying position, so that the sound sensor 5 can collect bowel sounds more accurately and directly, and reduce the interference of external environmental noise on the collected data. For the fixing belt, the connection structure can take the form of matching pairs of buckles, Velcro, buttons, straps or connectors, etc., and with the use of elastic belts, it can be adjusted within a certain range to meet the use needs of different patients.

[0043] In this embodiment, a housing is designed at the position of the display screen 2 and the sound sensor 5, with the display screen 2 on the front and the sound sensor 5 on the back. The processing module is arranged inside the housing, and the fixing belt can be arranged to pass through the housing (the overall position can be quickly adjusted) or extend outward from opposite sides of the housing (to easily fix the position of the sound sensor 5) as needed. In other embodiments, the processing module can be a flexible module and sewn on the fixing belt.

[0044] The processing module specifically includes a power supply unit, a processing unit and a storage unit. Figure 3, wherein the power supply unit is electrically connected to the processing unit, the storage unit, the display screen 2 and the sound sensor 5 respectively, and is used to provide basic operating power to various elements and components in the bowel sound collection device; the processing unit is electrically connected to the display screen 2 and the sound sensor 5 respectively, and receives information from the sound sensor 5 and processes the information, and then outputs the processed information to the display screen 2; the storage unit is electrically connected to the processing unit, and can be used to store data in the processing unit, including original data, processed data, etc., and can be called by the processing unit when needed.

[0045] Furthermore,

[0046] The power supply unit is a rechargeable power source, such as a common lithium battery; correspondingly, the bowel sound collection device is also provided with a charging port 6 which is electrically connected to the power supply unit. In this embodiment, the charging port 6 is provided on the housing, and the bowel sound collection device can be charged by connecting the charging port 6 via an external power supply connection line.

[0047] The processing unit is a single-chip microcomputer, which is pre-loaded with a program for intercepting audio and processing data. First, the sound of 50-1000Hz and duration of 5-200ms (i.e., the required bowel sounds) is extracted from the audio collected by the sound sensor 5 (sampling frequency is 8000Hz), and then the frequency of the sound in a unit time (1min) is obtained. The processing unit then outputs the waveform formed after interception (a waveform containing only bowel sounds) and the sound information obtained by processing and calculation (such as frequency, frequency, etc.) to the display screen 2 for display.

[0048] The storage unit may be a conventional commercially available memory, which stores the original spectrum that has not been processed by the processing unit and the spectrum and data processed by the processing unit; when necessary, the spectrum and data can be retrieved and viewed through the processing unit.

[0049] In this embodiment, the processing module further includes a start button 4 and a power button 3, which are arranged on the housing. The start button 4 is electrically connected to the processing unit, and a start instruction is sent to the processing unit by pressing to instruct the processing unit to collect and process data; the power button 3 can be electrically connected to the processing unit, or can be electrically connected to the power supply unit, so as to shut down the bowel sound collection device when not in use, thereby reducing power waste.

[0050] In some embodiments, a data transmission unit may be provided, which is electrically connected to the power supply unit and the processing unit, and is used to wirelessly export the data stored in the storage unit to an external device. The data transmission unit may be a Bluetooth module, a Wifi module, etc. After the data is exported, the data may be further processed and stored in an external device, such as a computer.

[0051] In some embodiments, the display screen 2 may be a touch screen to facilitate operation through the screen.

[0052] It should be additionally pointed out that the display screen 2, sound sensor 5, power supply unit, processing unit and storage unit used above can directly adopt commercially available products, and the program pre-loaded in the processing unit can also directly adopt existing technology, which is not an improvement point of this solution.

[0053] The visual bowel sound acquisition device is mainly designed for clinical doctors and people who need to observe the gastrointestinal function of the human body on a daily basis. This solution can automatically collect the frequency and volume of human bowel sounds, calculate the frequency and generate a volume waveform to display on the display screen 2, while reducing the possible errors in the judgment of the patient's gastrointestinal function caused by different stethoscopes, and can also facilitate clinical doctors to intuitively and accurately judge the patient's gastrointestinal function. It can also allow non-professionals or hearing-impaired people to read the gastrointestinal motility of the observed person through the screen display.
