Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pulse diagnosis equipment technology, and in particular relates to a ring pulse diagnosis instrument. Background Technology

[0002] The current design of the detection probes in pulse diagnosis equipment has many limitations, which greatly restrict the widespread application and diagnostic effectiveness of pulse diagnosis equipment.

[0003] First, most pulse diagnosis devices use a fixed probe design, meaning that once the probe leaves the factory, its position and angle cannot be adjusted. Given individual differences in arm size and pulse location, this fixed design often makes it difficult to ensure the probe is accurately positioned at each patient's pulse. This inaccurate positioning leads to errors in the acquired pulse signal, affecting the accuracy of the diagnosis.

[0004] Secondly, the fixed probe is quite inconvenient when switching between the left and right hands. Traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis usually requires testing the pulse in both hands separately to obtain more comprehensive information. However, because the probe is in a fixed position, when switching hands, the practitioner often needs to move or adjust the position of the device. This process is not only cumbersome but also prone to damaging the device or causing it to shift position, thus further reducing the accuracy of the diagnosis.

[0005] Furthermore, because the fixed probe position is not adjustable, patients may need to maintain an uncomfortable posture for an extended period to adapt to the probe during pulse diagnosis. This uncomfortable experience can easily lead to patient resistance and hinder the smooth progress of the diagnosis.

[0006] In summary, the design of existing pulse diagnosis probes has significant shortcomings. The fixed design cannot accommodate individual patient differences, leading to inaccurate positioning, inconvenient operation, and reduced patient comfort. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of pulse diagnosis instrument that can accurately locate acupoints based on the size of the human arm, is easy to operate, and provides high patient comfort, in order to meet the needs of modernizing traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 9A ring-shaped pulse diagnostic instrument includes a ring-shaped pulse diagnostic bracket 310, which serves as the core support structure for the pulse diagnostic instrument. Its design fully considers the needs and stability of practical use. It can be installed independently on diagnostic equipment. To further enhance its stability and applicability, it can also be used independently with a horizontal base 10 or a similar structure at the bottom, ensuring the pulse diagnostic instrument remains stable and reliable in various usage scenarios, providing users with accurate and efficient tongue diagnosis services. The horizontal base has a hollow structure, serving as a space for installing electronic components such as power modules and controllers. The bottom of the base is sealed with a cover plate.

[0028] The spacing adjustment assembly 380 includes a T-shaped groove 381 at the lower end of the pulse probes on both sides, perpendicular to the middle pulse probe. This design provides a stable track for the longitudinal movement of the pulse sensor, ensuring smoothness and accuracy during movement. A T-shaped slider 382 is installed within the T-shaped groove, and a pulse sensor 324 is mounted on the T-shaped slider, allowing the sensor to adjust its position as the slider moves. An adjustment seat 383 is installed on the outer side of the pulse probe, further enhancing the flexibility and convenience of spacing adjustment. An adjustment screw 384 is installed on the adjustment seat along the T-shaped groove. The threaded section of the adjustment screw engages with the threaded section of the T-shaped slider, enabling precise control of the sensor position. When the sensor spacing needs to be adjusted, simply rotating the adjustment screw drives the T-shaped slider to move within the T-shaped groove, thereby changing the position of the pulse sensor. The adjusting screw is provided with a smooth section 3840 near the adjusting nut. The smooth section is fitted into the slot 3830 of the adjusting seat. This design not only enhances the stability of the adjusting screw, but also prevents it from shifting or shaking and axial movement during rotation, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the spacing adjustment.

[0029] This invention achieves precise monitoring and analysis of a user's pulse through the precise coordination of components such as a ring-shaped pulse diagnosis bracket 310, a pulse diagnosis seat 320, a linear guide rail 330, a suspension bracket 340, and a pulse diagnosis probe 350. The ring-shaped pulse diagnosis bracket and pulse diagnosis seat provide stable support for the pulse diagnosis process, ensuring diagnostic accuracy. The design of the linear guide rail and suspension bracket allows the pulse diagnosis probe to move flexibly along the longitudinal direction, adapting to different users' wrist sizes and improving the device's versatility. The pulse diagnosis probe is one of the core technologies of this invention. Each pulse diagnosis probe is equipped with an electric cylinder 351, a pulse diagnosis pressure head 352, and a pulse diagnosis sensor 353. The electric cylinder drives the pulse diagnosis pressure head to press down, allowing the pulse diagnosis sensor to make close contact with the user's wrist and accurately sense changes in the pulse. The adjustable spacing design of the pulse diagnosis sensor further reflects the human-centered design of this invention, enabling the device to adapt to the diagnostic needs of more users. In addition, the design of the pulse diagnosis shield 360 not only protects the pulse diagnosis probe but also improves user comfort. The fixed installation of the pulse diagnosis support 370 further ensures the stability of the pulse diagnosis process.

[0030] In the above technical solution, the three pulse diagnosis probes on the pulse diagnosis head are arranged in a straight line. This design allows the pulse diagnosis unit to simultaneously monitor multiple pulse points on the user's wrist, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of pulse diagnosis. Each pulse diagnosis probe 321 includes an electric cylinder 322, the lower end of which is connected to a pulse diagnosis pressure head 323. This structure allows the pulse diagnosis pressure head to move precisely up and down as needed to adapt to different wrist thicknesses and ensure close contact between the pulse diagnosis sensor and the user's wrist. A pulse diagnosis sensor 324 is installed at the lower end of the pulse diagnosis pressure head to collect the user's pulse information. Its precise position adjustment and stable contact pressure ensure the accuracy and reliability of the pulse information. Overall, this technical solution improves the automation and intelligence level of pulse diagnosis, providing a more objective and accurate diagnostic basis for traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis.

[0031] In the above technical solution, the pulse sensor of the pulse pressure head located in the middle adopts a fixed structure. This design provides a stable reference point, ensuring accurate acquisition of pulse information at the middle position during pulse diagnosis. Meanwhile, the pulse sensors on both sides can move longitudinally relative to the pulse sensor in the middle position via the spacing adjustment component 380. This innovative design greatly improves the adaptability of the pulse diagnosis unit.

[0032] Because the pulse position distribution varies among different users, a fixed spacing between pulse sensors may not meet the needs of all users. By allowing the pulse sensors on both sides to move longitudinally, the spacing between the sensors can be adjusted according to the user's actual pulse position distribution, ensuring that each pulse sensor can accurately align with the corresponding pulse point, thereby improving the accuracy and comprehensiveness of pulse diagnosis.

[0033] Furthermore, this adjustable spacing design allows the pulse diagnosis unit to be suitable for users with different body types and wrist sizes, enhancing the device's versatility and practicality. Users can easily adjust the position of the pulse sensor according to their own pulse characteristics for a more personalized pulse diagnosis experience.

[0034] In summary, the spacing adjustment component demonstrates superior technical performance within a limited space. Its compact design allows for a tight fit between the T-shaped groove and the T-shaped slider, enabling precise movement of the pulse sensor within a confined space. The ingenious combination of the adjustment base and the adjustment screw makes spacing adjustment simple and efficient, even in space-constrained conditions. This design significantly improves space utilization, providing strong support for the miniaturization and portability of TCM pulse diagnosis equipment.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
