AI Technical Summary
Existing fall alarm devices for the elderly are prone to false alarms and being forgotten to be worn, especially when the arm swings with large amplitude, which easily triggers false alarms. In addition, the wearing rate is low because they are not used to wearing wrist ornaments.
A fall alarm device for the elderly with a waist belt as its main body was designed. The alarm device is fixed to the waist by the waist belt. The buckle structure of the guide frame and the limiting rail ensures that the alarm device is firmly worn on the waist, reducing the range of movement and avoiding accidental triggering.
This improved the wearing rate and accuracy of the alarm device, reduced false alarms, and ensured that the elderly would not easily forget to wear the device during their daily activities.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elderly monitoring technology, and in particular to a fall alarm device for the elderly. Background Technology
[0002] Accurate identification and timely warning by acquiring kinematic data on human fall behavior through fall alarms is of great significance in reducing injuries caused by falls in the elderly.
[0003] Utility model CN221352173U discloses a fall alarm device for the elderly, including a base, a strap, an accelerometer, a vibration sensor, a communication module, and a processor. The base is fixedly connected to the strap and worn on the arm via the strap. The accelerometer is fixedly connected to the base and electrically connected to the processor. The vibration sensor is fixedly connected to the base and electrically connected to the processor. The communication module is fixedly connected to the base and electrically connected to the processor. When the accelerometer detects acceleration, the elderly person may have fallen, or they may have simply made a daily movement such as shaking their arm. If the vibration sensor also detects vibration, the processor determines that the elderly person has fallen, and the communication module sends an alarm signal to the emergency contact person or caregiver. This utility model greatly improves the accuracy of detection and solves the problem of false alarms in existing technologies.
[0004] However, this utility model still has shortcomings. For example, when in use, the device needs to be worn on the wrist of the elderly, and most elderly people do not have the habit of wearing ornaments on their wrists, which makes it easy for them to forget to wear the device. Also, when the elderly swing their arms with a large range of motion, the device is easy to trigger an alarm, which leads to a low alarm accuracy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a solution that can alleviate the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a fall alarm device for the elderly, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] An elderly fall alarm device includes a waist belt body. An alarm mechanism is located at the front end of the waist belt body. The alarm mechanism includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the front end of the waist belt body. A guide frame is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed plate. An alarm device body is slidably connected to the front end of the fixed plate near the lower side of the guide frame. A limiting groove is formed at the upper end of the alarm device body. A limiting rail is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove. A docking block is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed plate near the upper side of the guide frame. A docking surface is formed at the front end of the docking block. A buckle ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the alarm device body. A contact surface is formed on the rear side of the buckle ring.
[0008] Preferably, the upper end of the limiting rail is fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide frame, and the guide frame and the limiting rail form an "up" shape.
[0009] Preferably, there are two sets of the guide frame, the limiting groove, and the limiting rail, and the mating surface is inclined.
[0010] Preferably, one side of the mating surface protrudes from the other side, the contact surface is inclined, one side of the contact surface protrudes from the other side, and the mating block corresponds to the buckle ring.
[0011] Preferably, the mating surface and the contact surface are adapted to each other, and the front side of the mating surface contacts the rear side of the contact surface.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the belt body is fixedly connected to a buckle, and the main body of the belt body is made of leather.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] By passing the main body of the belt through the inside of the buckle ring and moving the main body of the alarm device to one side, the main body of the alarm device becomes increasingly tighter through the mating and contact surfaces. This makes it easy to wear the main body of the alarm device around the waist of the elderly. Since the main body of the belt is an essential part of the elderly's clothing, the elderly will not forget to wear the main body of the alarm device. When the elderly walk, because the alarm mechanism is restricted to the waist by the main body of the belt, the movement of the main body of the alarm device is not significant, thus making it less likely to trigger the alarm device.

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the elderly fall alarm device includes a waist belt body 1. An alarm mechanism 3 is provided at the front end of the waist belt body 1. The alarm mechanism 3 includes a fixing plate 31 fixedly connected to the front end of the waist belt body 1. A guide frame 32 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing plate 31. An alarm device body 33 is slidably connected to the front end of the fixing plate 31 near the lower side of the guide frame 32. A limiting groove 34 is provided at the upper end of the alarm device body 33. A limiting rail 35 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove 34. A docking block 36 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing plate 31 near the upper side of the guide frame 32. A docking surface 37 is provided at the front end of the docking block 36. A buckle ring 38 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the alarm device body 33. A contact surface 39 is provided on the rear side of the buckle ring 38.
[0022] In this embodiment, the upper end of the limiting rail 35 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the guide frame 32, and the guide frame 32 and the limiting rail 35 form an "U" shape. There are two sets of guide frames 32, limiting grooves 34 and limiting rails 35. The mating surface 37 is inclined, with one side of the surface of the mating surface 37 protruding from the other side. The contact surface 39 is also inclined, with one side of the surface of the contact surface 39 protruding from the other side. The mating block 36 corresponds to the buckle ring 38. The mating surface 37 and the contact surface 39 are adapted to each other, and the front side of the mating surface 37 contacts the rear side of the contact surface 39.
[0023] Specifically, the guardian first fully charges the alarm device body 33, then places the alarm device body 33 between the two sets of guide frames 32, and engages the limiting rail 35 inside the limiting groove 34. The guardian then pushes the alarm device body 33 so that the limiting groove 34 engages outside the limiting rail 35, and moves the alarm device body 33 along the limiting rail 35, thus securing the alarm device body 33 between the two sets of guide frames 32, and ensuring that the mating surface 37 contacts the contact surface 39. Using the shapes of the mating surfaces 37 and 39, the buckle ring 38 is secured to the front of the mating block 36, thus confining the alarm device body 33 within the two sets of guide frames 32. The waist belt body 1 is then passed through the inside of the buckle ring 38, and the waist belt body 1 moves the alarm device body 33 to one side, causing the alarm device body 33 to become increasingly secured by the mating surfaces 37 and 39. The belt body 1 is tightened to prevent the alarm device body 33 from falling off. At the same time, the belt body 1 wraps around the outside of the alarm device body 33, protecting it from damage. By passing the belt body 1 through the inside of the buckle ring 38 and moving the alarm device body 33 to one side, the alarm device body 33 becomes increasingly tighter with the help of the mating surface 37 and the contact surface 39. This makes it easy to wear the alarm device body 33 around the waist of the elderly. The belt body 1 is a necessary part of the elderly's clothing, ensuring that they do not forget to wear the alarm device body 33. When the elderly walk, because the alarm mechanism 3 is restricted to the waist by the belt body 1, the movement of the alarm device body 33 is limited, thus preventing it from being easily triggered.
[0024] In this embodiment, a buckle 2 is fixedly connected to one end of the belt body 1, and the main material of the belt body 1 is leather.
[0025] Specifically, the elderly can put on their clothes independently. After putting on their pants, they insert the main body 1 of the waist belt into the waist loop, then pass the main body 1 of the waist belt through the inside of the buckle head 2 and tighten the main body 1 of the waist belt to complete putting on the pants and wearing the alarm device main body 33.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] In use, the caregiver first fully charges the alarm device body 33 (equivalent to the internal structure disclosed in the utility model of a fall alarm device for the elderly with announcement number CN221352173U). Then, the alarm device body 33 is placed between the two sets of guide frames 32, the limiting rail 35 is engaged in the inner side of the limiting groove 34, and the alarm device body 33 is pushed so that the limiting groove 34 is engaged in the outer side of the limiting rail 35, and the alarm device body 33 is moved along the limiting rail 35, thereby engaging the alarm device body 33 between the two sets of guide frames 32, and making the mating surface 37 contact the contact surface. 39. Using the shape of the mating surface 37 and the contact surface 39, the buckle ring 38 is secured to the front side of the mating block 36, thus confining the alarm device body 33 within the inner side of the two sets of guide frames 32. Then, the elderly person can dress independently. After putting on trousers, the elderly person inserts the waist belt body 1 into the waist loop, then passes the waist belt body 1 through the inner side of the buckle head 2 and tightens the waist belt body 1. Then, the waist belt body 1 passes through the inner side of the buckle ring 38, causing the waist belt body 1 to move the alarm device body 33 to one side, thus allowing the alarm device body 33 to move across the mating surface 37 and the contact surface 39. The tighter the belt, the less likely the alarm device body 33 will fall off. Simultaneously, the belt body 1 wraps around the outside of the alarm device body 33, protecting it from damage. Thus, the belt body 1 is an essential part of elderly people's clothing, ensuring they don't forget to wear the alarm device body 33. When walking, because the alarm mechanism 3 is restrained at the waist by the belt body 1, the movement of the alarm device body 33 is limited, making it less likely to be triggered. By unfastening the belt body 1... The belt loop 38 passes through the inside of the belt body 1, causing the alarm device body 33 to move to one side. This allows the alarm device body 33 to be tightened more and more by means of the mating surface 37 and the contact surface 39, making it easy to wear the alarm device body 33 around the waist of the elderly. The belt body 1 is a necessary item for the elderly to wear, so the elderly will not forget to wear the alarm device body 33. When the elderly walk, since the alarm mechanism 3 is restricted to the waist of the elderly by the belt body 1, the movement of the alarm device body 33 is not large, and thus it is not easy to trigger the alarm device body 33.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
