Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically relating to an automatic abdominal massager that massages the abdomen clockwise. Background Technology

[0002] In the medical and health field, bowel preparation is a crucial step before many endoscopic examinations and surgeries. Its quality directly affects the smooth progress of subsequent examinations or surgeries and patient safety. Currently, exercise intervention, as a non-drug, side-effect-free means of promoting intestinal peristalsis, has received widespread attention. Multiple studies have shown that moderate-intensity whole-body exercise, such as walking, can significantly promote the secretion of gastrointestinal hormones, enhance gastrointestinal motility, thereby improving intestinal cleanliness and reducing adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting. However, whole-body exercise may not be suitable for some patients, such as the elderly, frail, those with limited mobility, or those with specific diseases, who may not be able to complete enough walking to achieve the desired bowel preparation effect. In contrast, local exercise, especially abdominal massage, can directly act on the abdomen, promoting intestinal peristalsis and emptying through physical stimulation. However, its effectiveness is limited by the massage therapist's skill, strength, and duration, and prolonged manual massage can also increase the massage therapist's workload. Utility Model Content

The housing 1 has an operation panel 2, a charging port 3, an insulating layer 4, a first fixing strap 5, a second fixing strap 6, and a gastrointestinal motility sensor 18. The first fixing strap 5 has Velcro 7, and the second fixing strap 6 has an adhesive layer 8 that connects to the Velcro 7. The housing 1 has an internal cavity 9 and a massage chamber 10. The cavity 9 houses a microcontroller 11, a rechargeable battery 12, a clock module 13, a storage module 14, a communication module 15, and a motor 16. The clock module 13, storage module 14, and communication module 15 work together to record data such as massage time, frequency, number of bowel movements, bowel preparation time, and start of defecation time. The data is transmitted to an external device via the communication module 15. The output end of the motor 16 is connected to the turntable 17 located in the massage cavity 10 via a coupling. The turntable 17 is equipped with several massage heads 19, and at least one massage head 19 integrates a pressure sensor 20 to detect the massage force and feed it back to the microcontroller 11 to adjust the massage intensity. This invention can automatically massage the patient's abdomen, ensuring the massage effect while reducing the burden on medical staff. The microcontroller 11 is electrically connected to the operation panel 2, clock module 13, storage module 14, communication module 15, motor 16, gastrointestinal motility sensor 18, and pressure sensor 20. The microcontroller 11 is used to receive operation commands, process sensor data, and control the motor. The rotation speed and direction of motor 16 are adjusted to achieve a clockwise massage action, and the massage process data is recorded to the storage module 14. Simultaneously, it can communicate with external devices via the communication module 15. After medical personnel press the operation buttons on the operation panel 2 to set parameters such as massage time and mode, the microcontroller 11, acting as the control center, controls the start and stop of motor 16 according to the settings and the timing function of the clock module 13. Motor 16 drives the turntable 17 to rotate clockwise within the massage cavity 10 via a coupling. Multiple massage heads 19 on the turntable 17 rotate accordingly, massaging the patient's abdomen in a clockwise direction. A pressure sensor 20 integrated on one of the massage heads 19 can monitor the pressure applied to the abdomen by the massage head 19 in real time and feed the signal back to the microcontroller 11. The microcontroller 11 automatically adjusts the output power of the motor 16 based on the received pressure signal to maintain a suitable massage intensity and avoid causing discomfort to the patient. The rechargeable battery 12 powers the operation panel 2, microcontroller 11, clock module 13, storage module 14, communication module 15, gastrointestinal motility sensor 18, and pressure sensor. The rechargeable battery 12 facilitates power supply to various electrical components. The charging port 3 is located on one side of the housing 1 and is used to power the rechargeable battery 12. After connecting to an external power source through the charging port 3, electrical energy can be charged into the rechargeable battery 12. The first fixing strap 5 and the second fixing strap 6 are located on both sides of the housing 1, and the Velcro 7 is located on the inner edge of the other end of the first fixing strap 5 away from the housing 1.The adhesive layer 8 is located on the outer wall of the second fixing band 6. After the housing 1 is positioned on the patient's abdomen, the first fixing band 5 and the second fixing band 6 are used to wrap around the patient's body. Then, according to the patient's circumference, the Velcro 7 is attached to the adhesive layer 8 at an appropriate distance to fix the position of the housing 1, so that the massage function can be activated to massage the patient's abdomen, thereby stimulating intestinal peristalsis. The isolation layer 4 is located at the opening of the massage cavity 10, covering and closing the massage cavity 10.

The gastrointestinal motility sensor 18 is located at the end of the isolation layer 4 and penetrates the isolation layer 4. Exposed to the outside, it is used to detect the patient's gastrointestinal motility and send the detection data to the microcontroller 11. The microcontroller 11 adjusts the massage mode or intensity based on the detection data to better adapt to the patient's physiological state. The gastrointestinal motility sensor 18 facilitates the detection of the patient's gastrointestinal motility, such as peristalsis frequency. Based on the feedback from the gastrointestinal motility sensor 18 and a preset algorithm, the microcontroller 11 can automatically adjust the massage program to better meet the patient's actual needs and improve the massage effect. The operation panel 2 is located at the other end of the housing 1, away from the isolation layer 4, for manually inputting control commands and displaying the massage status. The operation panel 2 facilitates the setting and display of various function modes.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the shell 1 is placed on the patient's abdomen, simply use the first fixing strap 5 and the second fixing strap 6 to wrap around the patient's body. Then, according to the patient's circumference, attach the Velcro 7 to the adhesive layer 8 at an appropriate distance to fix the position of the shell 1. At this time, after the medical staff presses the operation button on the operation panel 2 to set the massage time, mode and other parameters, the microcontroller 11, as the control center, controls the start and stop of the motor 16 according to the settings and the timing function of the clock module 13. The motor 16 drives the turntable 17 to rotate clockwise in the massage cavity 10 through the coupling. The multiple massage heads 19 on the turntable 17 rotate accordingly, massaging the patient's abdomen in a clockwise direction. The pressure sensor 20 integrated on one of the massage heads 19 can monitor the pressure applied to the abdomen by the massage head 19 in real time and transmit the signal. The pressure signal is fed back to the microcontroller 11. The microcontroller 11 automatically adjusts the output power of the motor 16 according to the received pressure signal to maintain a suitable massage intensity and avoid causing discomfort to the patient. The rechargeable battery 12 facilitates power supply to various electrical components. After connecting to an external power source through the charging port 3, electrical energy can be charged into the rechargeable battery 12. The isolation layer 4 at the opening of the massage cavity 10 prevents the massage head 19 from directly contacting the patient's abdomen during the massage, improving comfort and safety. The gastrointestinal motility sensor 18 facilitates the detection of the patient's gastrointestinal motility, such as peristalsis frequency. Based on the feedback from the gastrointestinal motility sensor 18 and combined with a preset algorithm, the microcontroller 11 can automatically adjust the massage program to better adapt to the patient's actual needs and improve the massage effect.
