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 and will give patients psychological hints, thus affecting the judgment of pain assessment. 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 measurement and evaluation are separated, avoiding the psychological hints brought by the scale to patients during measurement and improving the measurement accuracy.
[0006] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A VAS scoring ruler includes a first scale board, a cursor slidably connected to the first scale board, and a second scale board installed on the first scale board. The second scale board has specific scales printed by fluorescent ink. A purple light lamp board is provided between the first scale board and the second scale board. The first scale board is provided with a sliding range scale. The cursor points to the sliding range scale and the specific scale, and the length of the specific scale is equal to the length of the sliding range scale.
[0008] Further, the second scale board is made of a light-transmitting material.
[0009] Further, a button battery pack and a switch are provided at the rear of the first scale board. The button battery pack is electrically connected to the purple light lamp board, and the switch controls the power on or off of the purple light lamp board.
[0010] Further, limiting members for restricting the cursor from sliding out of the first scale board are provided at both ends of the top of the first scale board.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0012] For a VAS scoring ruler of the present utility model, the first ruler plate is a measuring ruler, and the second ruler plate is a scoring ruler. By sliding the cursor, the pain level of the user is indicated. After the user finishes the measurement, the ultraviolet light plate is turned on, and the ultraviolet light plate displays the specific scale printed on the second ruler plate with fluorescent ink. Keeping the position of the cursor, at this time the cursor points to the specific scale on the second ruler plate. By referring to the VAS table for reading, the pain level of the patient can be known, thus separating measurement from evaluation, avoiding the psychological hint that the scale may bring to the patient during measurement, and improving the measurement accuracy.

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings in the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 3 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 installed on the first ruler plate 1. There are specific scales 6 printed on the second ruler plate 3 with fluorescent ink. A purple light lamp plate 4 is provided between the first ruler plate 1 and the second ruler plate 3. The first ruler plate 1 is provided with a sliding range scale 5. The cursor 2 points to the sliding range scale 5 and the specific scale 6. The length of the specific scale 6 is equal to the length of the sliding range scale 5. 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 fluorescent ink on the second ruler plate 3 does not show without irradiation. Only the scales "completely painless" and "pain to the extreme" are written at the positions on the sliding range scale 5. By sliding the cursor 2, the pain level of the user is indicated. After the user finishes measuring, the purple light lamp plate 4 is turned on. The purple light lamp plate 4 displays the specific scale 6 printed on the second ruler plate 3 with fluorescent ink. Keep the position of the cursor 2. At this time, the cursor 2 points to the specific scale 6 on the second ruler plate 3. By referring to the VAS table for reading, the pain level of the patient can be known, so that measurement and evaluation are separated, avoiding the psychological hint that the scale may bring to the patient during measurement and improving the measurement accuracy.
[0021] Specifically, the second ruler plate 3 is made of a light-transmitting material, preferably a transparent plastic material, for displaying the specific scale 6 printed on the second ruler plate 3 with fluorescent ink after the purple light lamp plate 4 is turned on.
[0022] Specifically, a button battery pack 7 and a switch 8 are provided at the rear of the first ruler plate 1. The button battery pack 7 is electrically connected to the purple light lamp plate 4. The switch 8 controls the power on or off of the purple light lamp plate 4. The button battery pack 7 is used to supply power to the purple light. After the user finishes measuring, the purple light lamp plate 4 is powered on by turning on the switch 8. The purple light lamp plate 4 is a linear array of purple LEDs, used to make the specific scale 6 printed on the second ruler plate 3 with fluorescent ink visible.
[0023] Specifically, limiting members 9 for restricting the cursor 2 from sliding out of the first ruler plate 1 are provided at both ends of the top of the first ruler plate 1.
