[0037] It is known that when the patient falls, he will always go in any direction of backward, forward, left or right. In order to inform the nurse station or the accompanying person in time after the patient falls, a heavy ball 6 is arranged at the bottom end inside the lower shell 2, a channel assembly 7 for limiting the moving path of the heavy ball 6 is arranged inside the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2, the inside of the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 is divided into four channels through the channel assembly 7, a push plate assembly 12 and a light touch switch 8 are arranged at the top end of each channel, and the push plate assembly 12 and the light touch switch 8 are fixed at the top end inside the upper shell 1.

[0038] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figures 4-8 The channel assembly 7 in the embodiment comprises a plurality of lower partitions 701 fixed inside the lower shell 2 and a plurality of upper partitions 702 fixed inside the upper shell 1, and the lower partitions 701 and the upper partitions 702 are aligned after the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 are closed; an arc-shaped cover 703 is arranged in the middle of the inside of the upper shell 1, and the outer wall of the arc-shaped cover 703 surrounds the upper partitions 702 and the lower partitions 701 to form four channels, and the four channels are located at the front, back, left and right of the patient, respectively.

[0039] A buzzer 10 for issuing a sound alarm is further arranged in the inside of the upper shell 1, and the bottom of the buzzer 10 is provided with an MCU chip 9; the MCU is also called a microcontroller or a single-chip microcomputer, which is a core component integrating a central processing unit (CPU) on a single chip, and reduces the main frequency and specifications, and also integrates a memory, a timer, an analog-to-digital converter (A / D converter), a clock, an input / output port and a serial communication and a plurality of functional modules and interfaces;

[0040] A chip mounting seat 704 is fixed to the bottom end of the inside of the upper shell 1, the buzzer 10 is fixed in the inside of the chip mounting seat 704, the MCU chip 9 is inlaid at the bottom of the chip mounting seat 704, the arc-shaped cover 703 is sleeved on the outer wall of the chip mounting seat 704 and is connected with the chip mounting seat 704 through threads, an LED light strip 11 is inlaid in the inner wall of the front side of the upper shell 1, the heavy ball 6 impacts the push plate assembly 12 and contacts the tactile switch 8 after the patient falls, so that the tactile switch 8 controls the buzzer 10 to issue a sound and controls the LED light strip 11 to issue a red light for alarm, and meanwhile the MCU chip 9 can also send information to the mobile terminal of the nurse station or the accompanying personnel, to tell the nurses and accompanying personnel that the patient has fallen, so as to be treated in time.

[0041] A GNSS receiving chip 14 for positioning can also be arranged in the inside of the upper shell 1, the GNSS receiving chip 14 is a core component for receiving and processing satellite navigation signals, and can realize a positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) function, and the GNSS receiving chip 14 in the utility model is fixed at the bottom of the chip mounting seat 704, as shown in the drawings, so as to send the position information of the patient to the mobile terminal or computer terminal of the medical staff and accompanying personnel when the patient falls, so as to quickly find the fallen patient. Figure 6

[0042] In the embodiment, a plurality of through holes 13 are arranged in the middle of the top of the upper shell 1, the through holes 13 are located directly above the buzzer 10, and the through holes 13 can facilitate the sound emitted by the buzzer 10 to be transmitted outward when the buzzer 10 alarms.

[0043] ​In the embodiment, the push plate assembly 12 comprises a circular push plate 1201 located between two adjacent upper partitions 702, a spring 1202 fixed on the top of the circular push plate 1201, the top end of the spring 1202 fixed with the inner wall of the upper shell 1, and the tactile switch 8 located on the top of the circular push plate 1201, the spring 1202 sleeved outside the tactile switch 8, and the spring 1202 can support the circular push plate 1201 directly below the tactile switch 8 under the action of the spring force of the spring 1202 itself. When the patient slowly lies down, the weight ball 6 can move to the position in contact with the circular push plate 1201 along one of the channels under the action of gravity, and the gravitational potential energy of the weight ball 6 is slowly reduced in the process, and no impact is generated, so that the weight ball 6 slowly moves along the inner wall of the channel to the position of the circular push plate 1201 and does not impact the circular push plate 1201, thereby not pushing the circular push plate 1201 to contact the tactile switch 8 and not alarming, so as to solve the problem that the traditional fall alarm is easy to misalarm when the patient lies down to rest.

[0044] Conversely, when the patient suddenly falls down, the height of the weight ball 6 suddenly decreases, and the gravitational potential energy of the weight ball 6 suddenly decreases and is converted into kinetic energy, which can generate an impact force to impact the circular push plate 1201, so that the impact force received by the circular push plate 1201 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 1202 applied to the circular push plate 1201, thereby impacting the circular push plate 1201 to contact the tactile switch 8, and then alarming by the MCU chip 9, so as to improve the accuracy of the alarm and reduce the probability of false alarm.

[0045] In addition, it is worth noting that the upper shell 1 and the lower shell 2 in the utility model, and the arc-shaped cover 703 and the chip mounting seat 704 are connected through threads, which are detachable, so as to facilitate disassembly of the utility model for replacement of parts, prolong the service life, and enhance the practicability.

[0046] The above is only a specific embodiment of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto, and any skilled person in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the utility model, which should be covered within the protection scope of the utility model.
