Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pain scoring, and particularly relates to a VAS scoring ruler. Background Art
[0002] At present, with the acceleration of population aging, the incidence of chronic pain has risen linearly. Pain is a subjective experience that is affected by various factors such as physiology, psychology, personal experience, and social culture, and there are also differences in individuals' understanding and perception of pain. Therefore, correctly and objectively evaluating pain is crucial for the diagnosis of patients' diseases and the formulation and implementation of subsequent treatment plans.
[0003] The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is the most common single-dimensional measurement and evaluation tool for pain intensity. The scale mainly consists of a 100-mm straight line. One end of the straight line represents "no pain at all", and the other end represents "the most severe pain imaginable" or "pain to the extreme", etc. Patients are required to mark the corresponding position coordinates on this line to represent the current pain intensity they experience.
[0004] The existing pain scoring rulers on the market are all marked with scales or colors, which does not conform to the principle of VAS scoring design, will give patients psychological hints, thus affecting the judgment of pain assessment and reducing the measurement accuracy. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] To solve the problems in the above background art, the utility model provides a VAS scoring ruler, in which the measuring ruler and the scoring ruler are separated, so that the measurement and evaluation are separated, avoiding the psychological hint brought by the scale to the patient during measurement and improving the measurement accuracy.
[0006] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A VAS scoring ruler includes a first ruler plate, a cursor slidably connected to the first ruler plate, and a second ruler plate detachably connected to the first ruler plate. The first ruler plate is provided with a sliding range scale, the second ruler plate is provided with specific scales, the cursor points to the sliding range scale and the specific scales, and the length of the specific scales is equal to the length of the sliding range scale.
[0008] Further, a first insertion channel is provided at the front part of the first ruler plate. The second ruler plate includes an integrally formed ruler body and a ruler base. The ruler body is slidably connected to the first insertion channel, and a constraint component for clamping the ruler base is provided at the bottom of the first ruler plate.
[0009] Further, the specific scales are provided at one end of the ruler body away from the ruler base.
[0010] Further, the constraint component includes a first elastic buckle and a second elastic buckle which are oppositely arranged at both ends of the bottom of the first scale plate. Both the first elastic buckle and the second elastic buckle include a fixed block installed at the bottom of the first scale plate, a sliding channel arranged in the fixed block, a spring arranged in the sliding channel, and a sliding piece arranged at the other end of the spring. The sliding pieces of the first elastic buckle and the second elastic buckle are used to open or close the first insertion channel.
[0011] Further, a second insertion channel is provided at the rear of the first scale plate. The scale body is slidably connected to the second insertion channel. The sliding pieces of the first elastic buckle and the second elastic buckle are used to open or close the second insertion channel.
[0012] Further, limiting members for restricting the cursor from sliding out of the first scale plate are provided at both ends of the top of the first scale plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0014] For a VAS scoring ruler of the present utility model, the first scale plate is a measuring scale, and the second scale plate is a scoring scale. By sliding the cursor, the pain level of the user is represented. After the user finishes the measurement, the second scale plate is inserted into the first scale plate, and the position of the cursor is maintained. At this time, the cursor points to the specific scale on the second scale plate. By referring to the VAS table for reading, the pain level of the patient can be known, so that the measurement and evaluation are separated, avoiding the psychological suggestion brought by the scale to the patient during the measurement and improving the measurement accuracy.

[0021] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 2 shown, a VAS scoring ruler includes a first ruler plate 1, a cursor 2 slidably connected to the first ruler plate 1, and a second ruler plate 3 detachably connected to the first ruler plate 1. The first ruler plate 1 is provided with a sliding range scale 4, and the second ruler plate 3 is provided with a specific scale 5. The cursor 2 points to the sliding range scale 4 and the specific scale 5, and the length of the specific scale 5 is equal to the length of the sliding range scale 4; the first ruler plate 1 is a measuring ruler, and the second ruler plate 3 is a scoring ruler. When measuring, the user uses the first ruler plate 1 alone for measurement. The sliding range scale 4 only writes the scales of "completely painless" and "extreme pain" at the 0 position and the 100 position. By sliding the cursor 2, the pain degree of the user is indicated. After the user finishes measuring, the second ruler plate 3 is inserted into the first ruler plate 1, and the position of the cursor 2 is maintained. At this time, the cursor 2 points to the specific scale 5 on the second ruler plate 3. By referring to the VAS table for reading, the pain degree of the patient can be known, so that the measurement and evaluation are separated, avoiding the psychological hint brought by the scale to the patient during measurement and improving the measurement accuracy.
[0022] Specifically, a first insertion channel 6 is provided at the front part of the first ruler plate 1. The second ruler plate 3 includes an integrally formed ruler body 7 and a ruler seat 8. The ruler body 7 is slidably connected to the first insertion channel 6. A constraint component for clamping the ruler seat 8 is provided at the bottom of the first ruler plate 1. The first insertion channel 6 is used to place the second ruler plate 3. After the user finishes measuring, the ruler body 7 is inserted into the first insertion channel 6, and the constraint component is adjusted to clamp the ruler seat 8, so as to fix the second ruler plate 3 for reading.
[0023] Specifically, the specific scale 5 is provided at one end of the ruler body 7 away from the ruler seat 8. After installing the second ruler plate 3, the cursor 2 points to the specific scale 5 of the second ruler plate 3, which is convenient for reading the specific scale 5.
[0024] Specifically, the constraint component includes a first elastic buckle 9 and a second elastic buckle 10 which are oppositely arranged at both ends of the bottom of the first scale plate 1. Both the first elastic buckle 9 and the second elastic buckle 10 include a fixing block 11 installed at the bottom of the first scale plate 1, a sliding channel 12 arranged in the fixing block 11, a spring arranged in the sliding channel 12, and a sliding piece 13 arranged at the other end of the spring. The sliding pieces 13 of the first elastic buckle 9 and the second elastic buckle 10 are used to open or close the first insertion channel 6. A protruding part for easy pushing is arranged at the top of the sliding piece 13. When the second scale plate 3 needs to be installed, the sliding piece 13 is pushed to open the first insertion channel 6. After the second scale plate 3 is inserted into the first insertion channel 6, the first elastic buckle 9 and the second elastic buckle 10 are released, and the sliding piece 13 resets to clamp the scale base 8 of the second scale plate 3 into the first insertion channel 6.
[0025] Specifically, a second insertion channel 14 is arranged at the rear part of the first scale plate 1. The scale body 7 is slidably connected to the second insertion channel 14. The sliding pieces 13 of the first elastic buckle 9 and the second elastic buckle 10 are used to open or close the second insertion channel 14. After the reading is completed, the second scale plate 3 can be inserted into the second insertion channel 14 for storage.
[0026] Specifically, limiting members 15 for restricting the cursor 2 from sliding out of the first scale plate 1 are arranged at both ends of the top of the first scale plate 1.
