Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of monitoring technology, specifically relating to a monitoring vest. Background Technology
[0002] Holter monitoring (DCG) involves continuously recording a patient's cardiac electrical activity for 24 hours or longer under normal living conditions using a Holter monitor. The data is then analyzed by a computer to detect arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia that are difficult to detect during routine surface electrocardiograms, providing crucial objective evidence for clinical diagnosis, treatment, and efficacy assessment. A Holter monitor consists of a recorder, electrodes, and leads. The recorder is connected to the body via electrode pads, placed as follows: six electrodes in the chest leads (v1 to v6), one each in the left and right shoulders, and then one each in the lower left and right abdomen.
[0003] To improve the accuracy and hygiene of monitoring, disposable electrode pads are commonly used. These disposable electrode pads are usually adhesive; one end is attached to the patient's body, and the other end is connected to the leads of the Holter monitor via a small metal clip. However, in actual use, because there is no protection or other securing method between the electrodes and leads, the electrodes, leads, and recorder are prone to detaching during movement.
[0004] To prevent the dislodgement of a wearable vest for dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) detection, as described in patent CN221266167U, which includes an outer layer and a skin-adhesive layer stitched together, with a channel between the outer layer and the skin-adhesive layer for the passage of the ECG leads, this application uses a sandwich structure to restrict the leads and prevent dislodgement. However, there is no connection between the electrode body and the vest. Therefore, during patient use, there may be slight relative displacement between the vest and the patient within a certain range. Consequently, the vest may rub against the electrodes, causing them to loosen and shift during movement, which may affect the measurement accuracy later. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model discloses a monitoring vest, which aims to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the electrodes may be unstable due to the lack of fixation of the electrodes when wearing the vest.
[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A monitoring vest includes a vest body with several positioning holes that mate with various electrodes. Each positioning hole is connected to a first fixing part, which includes a fixing plate for fixing the lead wire. The fixing plate is connected to the vest body via a connecting device, which includes a connecting cloth connected to the fixing plate. The connecting cloth is connected to the vest body via a connecting structure. The vest body also has a second fixing part for fixing the lead wire.
[0007] After adopting this technical solution, the position of the positioning hole corresponds to the position of the ECG electrode connection on the human body, which improves the accuracy of the connection between the ECG electrode and the human body.
[0008] The fixing plate on the first fixing part can directly limit and fix the lead ends already connected to the electrodes. The fixing plate is connected to the vest body through the connecting fabric and the connecting structure set on the connecting fabric, so that both the electrodes and leads are connected to the vest body. At the same time, the vest body is also equipped with a second fixing device that works with the lead wires, which can fix both the electrodes and lead wires at the same time. Fixing the electrodes and lead wires to the vest at the same time makes the electrodes more stable to the human body, improves the stability of the dynamic electrocardiogram during use, and makes the measured data more accurate. The fixing plate includes a suction cup, which is detachably connected to the guide end. The connecting fabric is located on the side of the suction cup away from the human body. The connecting structure includes a Velcro part on the connecting fabric, and the vest body is provided with a Velcro mother part that cooperates with the Velcro part.
[0009] With this technical solution, the negative pressure adsorption characteristic of the suction cup allows for rapid connection and fixation of the electrode lead end. The smooth back of the lead end allows the suction cup to quickly fix itself to the lead end, improving the efficiency of the device during use. Furthermore, the suction cup connects to the Velcro fastener on the vest via a Velcro tab, a simple and convenient connection method.
[0010] The connecting fabric has a rectangular structure, one end of which is fixedly connected to the vest body, and the hook and loop fasteners are located at the other three ends of the connecting fabric. The size and shape of the hook and loop fastener mother part match the size and shape of the hook and loop fastener part.
[0011] With this technical solution, one end of the connecting fabric is connected to the vest body, and the other three ends are connected to the Velcro mother part on the vest body through the Velcro part. This allows the connecting fabric to press and abut against the electrode on the suction cup after it is connected to the vest body, making the electrode more stable during use and improving the stability of the device.
[0012] The connecting cloth is provided with a port that mates with the guide wire, and the size of the port is equal to the diameter of the guide wire.
[0013] With this technical solution, the port on the connecting cloth allows the lead wire to be squeezed after the lead wire end is fixed to the suction cup, thus initially restricting the lead wire and further improving the stability of the connection between the electrode and the human body.
[0014] The second fixing part is located on the side of the vest body away from the human body, and the second fixing part includes several wire clips that cooperate with each lead wire.
[0015] By adopting this technical solution, the wire clip is placed on the side of the vest body away from the human body. Since the human body will not come into contact with the wire clip, the comfort of the patient when using this device is increased.
[0016] The wire clamp provides stable fixation for the lead wire, making it more stable during fixation and resulting in more accurate measurements.
[0017] The clamp is a rubber tube with an open structure, and the opening of the clamp matches the diameter of the lead wire.
[0018] With this technical solution, the rubber tube and the opening structure not only facilitate the wire to enter the inside of the rubber tube through the opening, but also limit the wire through the rubber tube, increasing the clamping force on the wire and improving the stability of the connection between the wire and the vest body.
[0019] The vest body is also equipped with a storage bag to accommodate the dynamic electrocardiograph body.
[0020] After adopting this technical solution, the lead wires and electrical circuits are fixed and the recorder on the Holter monitor can be stored in the pocket on the vest, eliminating the need for the patient to carry the Holter monitor and improving patient comfort.
[0021] The vest body has a protective layer, which includes a cotton pad, and the cotton pad is located on the side of the vest body closest to the human body.
[0022] By adopting this technical solution, the cotton pad can improve the patient's comfort when using this device.
[0023] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: (1) By using positioning holes, fixing plates, connecting devices, etc., a connection relationship between the electrode and the vest body is established, making the electrode more stable during use.
[0024] (2) The use of Velcro fasteners and Velcro backing simplifies the connection between the fixing plate and the vest body, improving work efficiency. It also reduces the use of tape and improves patient comfort.
[0025] (3) Cotton pads, wire clips, etc. can be used to organize and fix the lead wires to prevent them from slipping during activities. They can also absorb sweat and further improve patient comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following is combined with Figures 1-4 This utility model will be described in detail. Example 1
[0032] A monitoring vest, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the vest body 1 has several positioning holes 101 that mate with each electrode 5. Each positioning hole 101 is connected to a first fixing part, which includes a fixing plate that can fix the lead end 6. The fixing plate is connected to the vest body 1 through a connecting device. The connecting device includes a connecting cloth 102 that is connected to the fixing plate. The connecting cloth 102 is connected to the vest body 1 through a connecting structure. The vest body 1 has a second fixing part for fixing the lead wire 7.
[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the size of the positioning hole 101 matches the size of the electrode 5.
[0034] In this embodiment, the vest body 1 is made of elastic fabric, such as spandex. Spandex is an elastic fiber that is widely used in various textiles to increase elasticity and comfort.
[0035] In this embodiment, the positioning hole 101 is integrally formed with the vest body 1, and a fastening line is sewn around the positioning hole 101 to prevent the positioning hole 101 from deforming.
[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the positioning hole 101 is provided with 10 holes, which correspond to the relative positions of the 12 leads. Specifically, there are 6 electrodes (5 pieces) for the chest leads v1 to v6, then 1 for each of the left and right shoulders, and then 1 for each of the lower left and lower right abdomens.
[0037] The position of the positioning hole 101 corresponds to the position where the ECG electrode 5 is connected to the human body, which improves the accuracy of the connection between the ECG electrode 5 and the human body.
[0038] The fixing plate on the first fixing part can directly limit and fix the lead end 6, which is already connected to the electrode 5, through the fixing plate. The fixing plate is connected to the vest body 1 through the connecting cloth 102 and the connecting structure set on the connecting cloth 102, so that both the electrode 5 and the lead are connected to the vest body 1. At the same time, the vest body 1 is also provided with a second fixing device that cooperates with the lead wire 7, that is, it can fix the electrode 5 and the lead wire 7 at the same time, fixing the electrode 5 and the lead wire 7 to the vest at the same time, so that the electrode 5 is more stably fixed to the human body, improving the stability of the dynamic electrocardiogram during use and the measurement data is more accurate.
[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the fixing plate includes a suction cup 105, which is detachably connected to the guide end 6. The connecting cloth 102 is disposed on the side of the suction cup 105 away from the human body. The connecting structure includes a Velcro part 104 disposed on the connecting cloth 102. The vest body 1 is provided with a Velcro female part 106 that cooperates with the Velcro part 104.
[0040] In this embodiment, the suction cup 105 is made of transparent silicone. Transparent silicone is not only readily available and inexpensive, reducing the production cost of this device, but also allows for observation of the connection with the lead terminal 6 after connection. In other embodiments, the fixing plate can be made of rigid silicone, allowing the lead terminal 6 to be directly snapped into the fixing plate.
[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting fabric 102 is bonded to the fixing plate, the Velcro sub-part 104 is sewn to the connecting fabric 102, and the Velcro mother part 106 is sewn to the vest body 1.
[0042] The negative pressure adsorption feature of the suction cup 105 allows for rapid connection to the electrode 5 and the fixed lead end 6. The back of the lead end 6 is smooth, allowing the suction cup 105 to quickly fix itself to the lead end 6, thus improving the efficiency of the device during use. Furthermore, the suction cup 105 is connected to the Velcro fastener 106 on the vest via the Velcro part 104, a simple and convenient connection method.
[0043] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the connecting fabric 102 has a rectangular structure. One end of the connecting fabric 102 is fixedly connected to the vest body 1. The hook and loop fastener 104 is disposed at the other three ends of the connecting fabric 102. The size and shape of the hook and loop fastener mother part 106 are matched with the shape and size of the hook and loop fastener 104.
[0044] In this embodiment, the top of the connecting fabric 102 is sewn to the vest body 1, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the Velcro section 104 is sewn to the other three ends of the connecting fabric 102.
[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the Velcro mother part 106 is located on the side of the vest body 1 away from the human body.
[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shape of the hook and loop fastener mother part 106 is a concave structure that mates with the hook and loop fastener daughter part 104.
[0047] One end of the connecting cloth 102 is connected to the vest body 1, and the other three ends are connected to the Velcro mother part 106 on the vest body 1 via the Velcro part 104. This allows the connecting cloth 102 to press and abut against the electrode 5 on the suction cup 105 after it is connected to the vest body 1, making the electrode 5 more stable during use and improving the stability of the device.
[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connecting cloth 102 is provided with a port 103 that mates with the guide wire 7, and the size of the port 103 is equal to the diameter of the guide wire 7.
[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the port 103 has a U-shaped structure, the width of the port 103 is equal to the diameter of the conductor 7, the port 103 is integrally formed with the connecting cloth 102, and the port 103 is located at the bottom center of the connecting cloth 102.
[0050] The port 103 on the connecting cloth 102 allows the lead wire 7 to be squeezed after the lead end 6 is fixed to the suction cup 105, thus initially restricting the lead wire 7 and further improving the stability of the connection between the electrode 5 and the human body.
[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the second fixing part is located on the side of the vest body 1 away from the human body, and the second fixing part includes several wire clips 2 that cooperate with each lead wire 7.
[0052] In this implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are 10 wire clamps 2, and the 10 wire clamps 2 do not interfere with each other. The starting point of the 10 wire clamps 2 is connected to the port 103 on the connecting cloth 102. In this way, the upper part of the conductor 7 is fixed and limited by the connecting cloth 102 and the port 103, and the lower part of the conductor 7 is limited by the wire clamps 2, so as to ensure the fixing effect of the conductor 7.
[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the length of the wire clamp 2 is 20cm.
[0054] The wire clip 2 is positioned on the side of the vest body 1 furthest from the body, increasing patient comfort as the body will not come into contact with it. The wire clip 2 also provides stable fixation for the lead wire 7, resulting in more stable wire fixation and more accurate measurements.
[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the clamp 2 is a rubber tube, the clamp 2 has an opening 201 structure, and the opening 201 of the clamp 2 matches the diameter of the lead wire 7.
[0056] In this embodiment, the rubber tube is adhered to the vest body 1.
[0057] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the clamp 2 is equal to the diameter of the lead wire 7, and the opening 201 on the clamp 2 is 2 / 3 of the arc corresponding to the diameter of the lead wire 7.
[0058] In this embodiment, the wire clamp 2 is made of rubber tubing, which reduces costs and allows the rubber tubing to be replaced according to its usage, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0059] The rubber tube and the opening 201 structure facilitate the entry of the lead wire 7 into the inside of the rubber tube through the opening 201, and also limit the lead wire 7 through the rubber tube, thereby increasing the clamping force on the lead wire 7 and improving the stability of the connection between the lead wire 7 and the vest body 1.
[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a protective layer is provided inside the vest body 1, and the protective layer includes a cotton pad 4, which is located on the side of the vest body 1 closest to the human body.
[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the positioning hole 101 penetrates the cotton pad 4.
[0062] In this embodiment, the cotton pad 4 is 0.5cm thick, which can absorb the sweat produced on the patient's body and keep the patient's body dry. For female patients, the cotton pad 4 can also cover the chest, prevent female patients from feeling embarrassed, and improve the patient's comfort when using this device.
[0063] The specific method of using this utility model is as follows: Reference Figures 1-4When using this device, first connect the end of each electrode 5 with the small metal buckle to the lead end 6. Then, have the patient put on the vest body 1, clean the skin of the patient to be connected to the electrodes 5, and then tear off the film on the electrode 5. Adhere each electrode 5 to the corresponding point on the patient's body through the positioning hole 101. At this time, each electrode 5 is fitted inside the positioning hole 101. Then, turn the connecting cloth 102 over so that the suction cup 105 on the connecting cloth 102 is aligned with the back of the lead end 6. The medical staff presses the suction cup 105 to connect the suction cup 105 to the lead end 6.
[0064] Then, medical staff connect the connecting cloth 102 to the vest body 1 through the Velcro part 104 and the Velcro mother part 106, so that the connecting cloth 102 abuts against the face guide end. At the same time, the port 103 at the bottom of the connecting cloth 102 needs to be snapped into the lead wire 7. After the lead wire 7 is initially snapped into the port 103, the lead wire 7 is then snapped into the wire clamp 2 through the opening 201 on the wire clamp 2. Finally, the recording box of the dynamic electrocardiograph is carried on the patient's body through the shoulder strap of the dynamic electrocardiograph itself, and the switch is turned on to perform 24-hour electrocardiogram monitoring on the patient. Example 2
[0065] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that: in this embodiment, as shown in the example... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the vest body 1 is also provided with a storage bag 3 for accommodating the dynamic electrocardiograph body.
[0066] In this embodiment, the storage bag 3 is sewn to the vest body 1, and the storage bag 3 is sewn at the center of the vest body 1, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the opening 201 of the container bag 3 faces upward.
[0067] After the lead wires 7 and electrodes 5 are fixed, the recorder on the dynamic electrocardiograph can be stored in the storage bag 3 on the vest body 1, so that the patient no longer needs to carry the dynamic electrocardiograph, thus improving the patient's comfort.
