Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine diagnostic equipment, and in particular relates to a pulse diagnosis instrument. Background Technology

[0002] In existing pulse diagnosis equipment, the design of the detection probe still has many shortcomings, which to some extent limit the widespread application and diagnostic effectiveness of pulse diagnosis equipment.

[0003] First, most pulse diagnosis devices use a fixed probe design. This design means that the probe's position and angle are determined at the factory and cannot be adjusted according to individual patient differences. The size of the human arm varies from person to person, and the pulse location may also differ between patients. Therefore, a fixed probe may not accurately align with the pulse location when contacting the patient's arm. This inaccurate positioning can lead to deviations in the acquired pulse signal, thus affecting the accuracy of the diagnosis.

[0004] Secondly, fixed-position detection probes present an inconvenience when switching between the left and right hands. In traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis, it is usually necessary to detect the pulse in both the left and right hands separately to obtain more comprehensive diagnostic information. However, because the detection probes of existing pulse diagnosis equipment are fixed in position, when switching from one hand to the other, the practitioner often needs to move the equipment or change its position. This operation is not only cumbersome but also prone to causing equipment damage or displacement during movement, further affecting the accuracy of the diagnosis.

[0005] Furthermore, the fixed probe design reduces patient comfort. Because the probe position is not adjustable, patients may need to maintain an unnatural posture for extended periods to adapt to the probe's position during pulse diagnosis. This uncomfortable experience can lead to patient resistance and hinder the smooth progress of the diagnosis.

[0006] In summary, existing pulse diagnosis equipment has significant shortcomings in the design of its detection probes. The fixed design cannot accommodate individual differences among patients, leading to inaccurate positioning, inconvenient operation, and reduced patient comfort. Therefore, there is an urgent need for 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 modern needs of traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 7 A pulse diagnosis device is characterized by comprising: a base 10, a pulse diagnosis support 210 mounted on the base, the base 10 having leveling feet 30 at its bottom to ensure uniform force during pulse diagnosis; a bent portion 211 mounted on the upper end of the pulse diagnosis support perpendicular to the direction of the pulse diagnosis support, the end of the bent portion being fitted with a pulse diagnosis head 220, the pulse diagnosis head having three pulse diagnosis probes 221 arranged longitudinally on the pulse diagnosis head, the three pulse diagnosis probes on the pulse diagnosis head being arranged in a straight line, this design enabling 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 221 includes an electric cylinder 222, the lower end of the electric cylinder being connected to a pulse diagnosis pressure head 223, this structure allowing the pulse diagnosis pressure head to move precisely up and down as needed to adapt to different user wrist thicknesses, ensuring close contact between the pulse diagnosis sensor and the user's wrist. A pulse sensor 224, electrically connected to an external display and control terminal, is installed at the lower end of the pulse diagnosis probe 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 of pulse diagnosis, providing a more objective and accurate diagnostic basis for traditional Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis. A pulse support 40 is located below the corresponding pulse sensor.

[0029] 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 and ensures 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 230. This innovative design greatly improves the adaptability of the pulse diagnosis unit.

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] The spacing adjustment assembly 230 includes a T-shaped groove 231 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 232 is installed within the T-shaped groove, and a pulse sensor 224 is mounted on the T-shaped slider, allowing the sensor to adjust its position as the slider moves. An adjustment seat 233 is installed on the outer side of the pulse probe, further enhancing the flexibility and convenience of spacing adjustment. An adjustment screw 234 is installed on the adjustment seat along the T-shaped groove, and 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 2340 near the adjusting nut. The smooth section is fitted into the slot 2330 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.

[0033] 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.

[0034] The pulse diagnosis support 40 includes two parallel side plates 410. The side plates are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the upper housing of the base. Each of the two side plates has a chain plate guide groove 411 on its inner side. A chain plate 420 that rotates around the two ends of the side plate is provided in the chain plate guide groove. A pulse diagnosis support 430 is fixedly connected to each end of the chain plate. A pulse diagnosis support transverse slider 440 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the pulse diagnosis support. The pulse diagnosis support transverse slider is mounted on a pulse diagnosis support transverse slide rail 450. The pulse diagnosis support transverse slide rail is fixedly mounted on a transverse support 460. The transverse support is fixedly connected to the two side plates 410.

[0035] The pulse diagnosis support in the above technical solution is ingeniously designed and practical, demonstrating multifaceted technical effects.

[0036] First, two parallel side plates are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the upper housing of the base, providing a solid and stable support structure for the pulse diagnosis support. This design not only ensures the stability of the pulse diagnosis support during use but also makes the entire device integrated with the base, presenting a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The inner side of the side plates features chain guide grooves, a design that provides precise guidance for the chain's rotation, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the chain during movement.

[0037] The chain plate serves as the connector for the pulse diagnosis bracket, with the brackets fixedly attached to both ends. By rotating around both ends of the side plate, the pulse diagnosis brackets can be moved flexibly. This design allows users to easily adjust the position of the pulse diagnosis brackets to find the most comfortable support point, while also facilitating switching between the left and right hands of the person being examined. The chain plate's rotation mechanism is not only easy to operate but also compact, saving space and providing a degree of protection against foreign objects entering the equipment.

[0038] The tight fit between the pulse diagnosis tray's horizontal sliding slider and its horizontal sliding rail, fixed at the lower end of the tray, is another major highlight. This combination of slider and rail ensures the tray maintains linear motion during lateral movement, preventing deviation or wobbling and improving the user experience. Simultaneously, the fixed installation of the horizontal sliding rail onto the tray, which in turn is fixedly connected to two side plates, further enhances the stability and reliability of the pulse diagnosis tray through this multi-layered, multi-point fixing method.

[0039] In summary, the pulse detector of this invention demonstrates significant advantages in overall technical performance, particularly in terms of integration, convenience, accuracy, adaptability, comfort, and flexibility.

[0040] 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.
