Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical ultrasound detection and diagnosis technology, and in particular to a measuring device based on ultrasound detection of hunter's bow syndrome. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasound technology, as a technique that uses sound waves with frequencies higher than the upper limit of human hearing (i.e., 20 kHz) for detection and analysis, has demonstrated unique advantages and broad application potential in multiple fields since the late 19th century. Medical ultrasound imaging technology, as an important branch of ultrasound technology applications, has developed into a mature and efficient medical diagnostic tool after decades of continuous exploration and innovation. It can not only display real-time two-dimensional or three-dimensional images of internal organs but also assess blood flow through the Doppler effect, providing clinicians with intuitive and accurate diagnostic information.

[0003] For suspected hunter's bow syndrome (also known as carotid artery stenosis vertigo syndrome), a condition caused by insufficient blood supply to the brain due to carotid artery stenosis, leading to symptoms such as dizziness and balance disorders, clinical diagnosis typically involves a combination of neck ultrasound and postural changes. Doctors will ask patients to actively rotate their necks during the ultrasound examination to observe hemodynamic changes and the extent of stenosis in the carotid arteries. However, while this method can assist doctors in making a qualitative judgment, confirming the presence of carotid artery stenosis, the lack of precise measurement of the specific angle of neck rotation prevents further quantitative analysis of the correlation between neck movement and symptoms. Therefore, while a qualitative diagnosis can be made, a quantitative one cannot, limiting the accuracy of the diagnosis. Summary of the Invention

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which are only used to illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a measurement device for ultrasound detection of hunter's bow syndrome includes: a head strap 1, a measurement box 2 disposed on one side of the head strap 1, and a neck rotation measurement system disposed inside the measurement box 2; both ends of the head strap 1 are provided with enclosure components for enclosing the head and tail of the head strap 1, and a connecting component is provided between the measurement box 2 and the head strap 1 for detachable connection of the measurement box 2; the neck rotation measurement system is used to measure the angle of neck rotation when performing carotid artery ultrasound examination on a patient, and the neck rotation measurement system includes: an angle sensor, a microprocessor and a storage battery disposed inside the measurement box 2, and an electronic display screen 21 mounted on the front of the measurement box 2.

[0032] It should be noted that the tilt sensor is used to sense and measure the patient's neck rotation angle; the microprocessor is used to send and receive data and process data, and executes the measurement algorithm to transmit the data results to the electronic display screen 21 for display; the microprocessor is electrically connected to the tilt sensor and the electronic display screen 21 respectively, and the energy storage battery is electrically connected to the microprocessor, the tilt sensor and the electronic display screen 21 respectively; the head strap 1 is made of either non-woven fabric or elastic band; when performing a neck ultrasound examination on the patient, the measuring box 2 is first detachably connected to one side of the head strap 1 through the cooperation of the connecting components, and then the head strap 1 is wrapped around the head and tail through the cooperation of the enclosing components. After the head strap 1 is worn on the patient's head, it can be ensured that the measuring box 2 can be stably placed. The device follows the patient's head movements. By activating the energy storage battery, the tilt sensor obtains the patient's current head position as the initial angle. As the patient gradually rotates their head during a carotid ultrasound examination, the tilt sensor transmits the angle change output data to the microprocessor in real time. The microprocessor then executes a measurement algorithm and transmits the data results to the electronic display screen 21 to display the real-time measured angle value. This allows doctors to intuitively see the changes in the patient's neck rotation angle, enabling real-time and accurate monitoring of the patient's neck rotation angle. Combined with the neck rotation angle data, the degree of carotid artery stenosis, hemodynamic changes, and the specific correlation between these symptoms and neck movement can be quantitatively analyzed, thus enabling a more accurate quantitative diagnosis.

[0033] In this embodiment, the enclosure component includes: a button 3 fixed to one side of the head strap 1, and a plurality of buckle slots 31 opened on the other side of the head strap 1; a first C-shaped strip 32 is provided on the side of the head strap 1 near the button 3 for limiting the side of the head strap 1; the two ends of the head strap 1 are enclosed by the button 3 passing through the buckle slots 31.

[0034] It should be noted that the diameter of the button 3 is larger than the diameter of the groove 31, and several grooves 31 are evenly distributed on the side of the head strap 1 in a linear array. When the head strap 1 needs to be wrapped around the patient's head, the patient can pass the button 3 through the appropriate groove 31 to fix the head strap 1. Since the diameter of the groove 31 is smaller than the diameter of the button 3, it can be ensured that the button 3 will not easily fall off from the groove 31, thus ensuring the stability of the head strap 1. At the same time, the setting of the first C-shaped strip 32 can further restrict the lateral movement of the head strap 1, thereby enhancing the firmness of the enclosure.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting component includes: a connecting strip 6 disposed on one side of the head strap 1, and an L-shaped card 61 fixed to the back of the measuring box 2; a connecting cavity 62 is formed between the connecting strip 6 and the head strap 1, and the side of the L-shaped card 61 is engaged inside the connecting cavity 62.

[0036] It should be noted that the two ends of the connecting strip 6 are fixed to one side of the head strap 1 by sewing. When the patient needs to fix the measuring box 2 to the head strap 1, he / she only needs to insert the L-shaped card 61 into the connecting cavity 62 to achieve a quick connection between the measuring box 2 and the head strap 1. This is not only simple and easy to do, but also convenient to disassemble and replace the measuring box 2, and also convenient to disassemble and clean the head strap 1, thus improving its practicality.

[0037] In this embodiment, the measuring device is first detachably connected to one side of the head strap 1 via a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly consists of a connecting strip 6 on one side of the head strap 1 and an L-shaped card 61 fixed to the back of the measuring box 2. The L-shaped card 61 engages within the connecting cavity 62 formed between the connecting strip 6 and the head strap 1, achieving a quick and secure connection. Subsequently, the head strap 1 is enclosed at both ends of the patient's head using a containment assembly. This containment assembly includes a button 3 fixed to one end of the head strap 1, several buckle slots 31 at the other end, and a first C-shaped strip 32 to restrict lateral movement of the head strap 1. The patient passes the button 3 through the appropriate buckle slots 31, ensuring the head strap 1 is stably fixed to the head. Once the device is ready, the power supply is turned on by the storage battery, and the tilt sensor acquires the current position of the patient's head as the initial angle. During carotid ultrasound examination and head rotation, the tilt sensor senses and measures the change in neck rotation angle in real time, transmitting the data to the microprocessor. The microprocessor executes the measurement algorithm to process the data and transmits the results to the electronic display screen 21, displaying the real-time measured angle value. By observing the angle changes on the electronic display screen 21, doctors can intuitively understand the changes in the patient's neck rotation angle. Furthermore, by combining the neck rotation angle data, doctors can perform quantitative analysis on the degree of carotid artery stenosis, hemodynamic changes, and their correlation with neck movement, achieving a more accurate quantitative diagnosis.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except that: the enclosure component includes: Velcro 4 disposed at both ends of the head strap 1; the Velcro 4 includes: a barbed surface fixed to one end of the head strap 1, and a rough surface fixed to the other end of the head strap 1; the two ends of the head strap 1 are enclosed by the bonding of the barbed surface and the rough surface.

[0040] It should be noted that the barbed side of the Velcro 4 is covered with tiny hooks, while the looped side is made of soft fibers. When the barbed side comes into contact with the looped side, the hooks on the barbed side will hook onto the fibers on the looped side, thus achieving a firm adhesion. When the headband 1 needs to be wrapped around the patient's head, the barbed side and the looped side are fixed at both ends respectively. The patient only needs to stick the two ends together to achieve a quick and convenient wrapping of the headband 1.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment is basically the same as embodiment 1, except that: the enclosure component includes: hidden buckles at both ends of the head strap 1; the hidden buckles include: a press buckle 5 fixed to one side of the head strap 1, and a plurality of pressure buckles 51 fixed to the other side of the head strap 1; a second C-shaped strip 52 is provided on the side of the head strap 1 near the press buckle 5, which is used to limit the side of the head strap 1; the two ends of the head strap 1 are enclosed by the snapping of the press buckle 5 and the pressure buckle 51.

[0043] It should be noted that several pressure buckles 51 are evenly distributed on the side of the head strap 1 in a linear array. When the head strap 1 needs to be wrapped around the patient's head, the patient only needs to align the pressure buckle 5 with the appropriate pressure buckle 51 and press it down to achieve the snap-fit. The setting of the second C-shaped strip 52 also restricts the lateral movement of the head strap 1 and enhances the stability of the wrap. In addition, the design of multiple pressure buckles 51 provides a variety of wrap size options to adapt to different head sizes of patients.

[0044] Based on the above description and the preferred embodiments of this utility model, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and thus all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0045] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
