[0017] Please refer to Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides a vibration device for fetal heart simulation, including a human-computer interaction module 1, a main control module 2, a D / A conversion circuit 3, a power amplifier circuit 4, a speaker 5 and a power module 6. The human-computer interaction module 1 is connected to the main control module 2 to realize the setting of fetal heart rate and heartbeat intensity parameters or the selection and data display of typical fetal heart rate waveforms, that is, the human-computer interaction module 1 is used to realize parameter setting or waveform selection and data display, and can realize input data setting by setting fetal heart rate and heartbeat intensity parameters or selecting built-in existing typical fetal heart rate waveforms. The human-computer interaction module 1 can specifically adopt existing The main control module 2 outputs a digital current signal according to the parameters set by the human-computer interaction module 1 or the selected waveform. The D / A conversion circuit 3 is connected to the main control module 2 to convert the digital current signal into an analog current signal and then form a bipolar voltage signal through an operational amplifier. The power amplifier circuit 4 is connected to the D / A conversion circuit 3 to linearly adjust the bipolar voltage signal and then amplify it through a power amplifier to generate a voltage sufficient to drive the speaker to vibrate. The speaker 5 is connected to the power amplifier circuit 4 to vibrate according to the amplified voltage. The power module 6 is connected to the main control module 1 to provide power. Among them, the main control module 2 controls the device as a whole, which can be implemented by using an existing chip with the model STM32L053. The chip is an ultra-low power 32-bit microcontroller that integrates a memory protection unit, a high-speed embedded memory, and various enhanced I / O and peripheral resources. It controls the D / A conversion circuit to generate a voltage signal waveform.

[0018] As a specific example, please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the D / A conversion circuit 3 includes a D / A conversion chip that converts a digital current signal into an analog current signal, a first operational amplifier OA1 that converts an analog current signal into an analog voltage signal, and a second operational amplifier OA2 that converts an analog voltage signal into a bipolar voltage signal. Specifically, the D / A conversion chip uses an integrated chip of model DAC0832, which is composed of an 8-bit input latch, an 8-bit DAC register, an 8-bit D / A conversion circuit and a conversion control circuit. It is connected to the main control module STM32L053 chip using a secondary buffer connection method to achieve synchronous output; the analog current output by the integrated chip is proportional to the input digital current (D0-D7). Since the output is a current signal, it must be converted into a voltage signal through an external operational amplifier, namely the first operational amplifier OA1. At the same time, the voltage signal is required to be bipolar, so it is necessary to connect the conversion circuit again, namely the second operational amplifier OA2, to form a power amplifier circuit front-end signal, namely a bipolar voltage signal. The output voltage range of the D / A conversion circuit 3 is -V REF ~+V REF VREF The reference voltage is set to 10V in this embodiment, and the minimum resolution of the output voltage is 10 / 2 8 ≈0.04V, V OUT is the input signal of the power amplifier circuit 4.

[0019] As a specific example, please refer to Figure 3 As shown, the power amplifier circuit 4 includes a potentiometer RP1 for linearly adjusting the bipolar voltage signal, a power amplifier capacitor C1 for filtering the bipolar voltage signal after linear adjustment, and a power amplifier for amplifying the filtered bipolar voltage signal to generate a voltage sufficient to drive the speaker 5 to vibrate. Specifically, the potentiometer RP1 is composed of a resistor and a brush that can move along the resistor. The first fixed end of the potentiometer RP1 is connected to the output end V OUT The second fixed end of the potentiometer RP1 is grounded, and the movable end of the potentiometer RP1 is connected to the input end of the power amplifier through the power amplifier capacitor C1. When the brush moves along the resistor, a voltage proportional to the displacement can be obtained at the output end, thereby linearly adjusting the voltage before entering the power amplifier. The value of the power amplifier capacitor C1 is 10uF. In addition to the basic characteristics of isolating DC and passing AC, it can also resist electromagnetic interference and interference caused by power changes over time, suppress additional noise and clutter, and improve the accuracy of audio signals. At the same time, it can also play a role in stabilizing voltage distribution, thereby effectively protecting the power amplifier circuit. The power amplifier can be specifically implemented using an existing LM386 audio integrated amplifier, and the voltage gain of the integrated amplifier can be adjusted in the range of 20 to 200 times; the purpose of the power amplifier is to amplify the weak voltage signal of the pre-stage operational amplifier to reach a voltage sufficient to drive the speaker, and then the diaphragm vibration of the speaker drives the target ball to move up and down in the degassed water, thereby simulating the heartbeat of the fetus.

[0020] As a specific embodiment, the speaker 5 adopts a waterproof design. Specifically, the diaphragm of the speaker 5 is made of existing expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material, which is a new type of medical polymer material with good elasticity and flexibility, and has corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Its waterproof level reaches IPX7 level; compared with the traditional speaker diaphragm, the present application also coats the surface of the diaphragm made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene material with an ultra-thin sound-absorbing material. This material has tiny pores that can allow air circulation (to achieve the functions of heat dissipation and pressure relief), and can reduce the sound interference generated by the speaker. At the same time, the material can also effectively block moisture and dust particles. The sound-absorbing material can be specifically realized by selecting existing porous materials.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the vibration device for fetal heart simulation provided by the utility model sets the fetal heart rate and heartbeat intensity parameters or selects a typical fetal heart rate waveform and displays the parameter waveform through the human-computer interaction module. The main control module outputs a digital current signal according to the parameters set by the human-computer interaction module or the selected waveform. The D / A conversion circuit converts the digital current signal into an analog current signal and then forms a bipolar voltage signal through an operational amplifier. The power amplifier circuit linearly adjusts the bipolar voltage signal and then amplifies it through a power amplifier to generate a voltage sufficient to drive the speaker to vibrate. The speaker vibrates according to the amplified voltage, and then the diaphragm vibration of the speaker drives the target ball to move up and down in the degassed water, thereby simulating the fetal heartbeat. In this device, the speaker structure is used to cleverly realize the vertical vibration of the target ball up and down. The elasticity of the diaphragm of the speaker makes the vibration amplitude of the target ball more consistent, overcoming the disordered vibration of the traditional magnetic target ball in a changing magnetic field; the vibration amplitude of the target ball is related to the vibration intensity of the diaphragm of the speaker, so the vibration amplitude can be linearly adjusted through the power amplifier circuit.

[0022] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the utility model.
