Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine, and more particularly to a bio-meridian energy circulation device. [Background technology]

[0002] In traditional Chinese medicine, the meridian system, as the circulatory pathway of Qi and blood, is closely related to the health of the human body. However, current technologies for regulating the meridians have the following problems:

[0003] First, the integration of traditional Chinese medicine theory with modern technology is insufficient. Although traditional Chinese medicine methods (such as acupuncture and massage) are based on meridian theory, they are difficult to effectively integrate with modern physiological signal monitoring technology, making it impossible to achieve dynamic response and precise adjustment according to the real-time physiological state of the human body.

[0004] Second, the regulation methods lack individuality and systematicity. Most existing wearable health devices focus on monitoring physiological indicators (e.g., heart rate, blood pressure), but lack a mechanism for linking physiological signals such as pulse waves with meridian parameters in traditional Chinese medicine (e.g., qi and blood circulation frequency, acupoint impedance). This makes it difficult to systematically intervene in accordance with the principles of meridian regulation based on individual differences.

[0005] Furthermore, there is a lack of application of the theory of time medicine. In traditional Chinese medicine, the "meridian flow" theory states that there is a time-dependent rhythm when qi and blood flow through the meridians. However, existing devices generally do not take into account the effect of time on meridian function, and are unable to dynamically adjust regulation parameters according to different times, resulting in limited regulatory effects.

[0006] In addition, the devices lack comfort and portability. Some meridian regulation devices have a fixed structure or the sensors do not fit well, making them unsuitable for long-term wear, limiting their application in daily health management. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The object of the present invention is to solve at least to some extent the above-mentioned technical problems. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The biomedical meridian energy circulation device of the present invention adopts a wearable annular structure and includes a physiological signal collection layer that fits closely to the human body, a control layer integrating a core processing module, and a user interface layer. The physiological signal collection layer is used to acquire human pulse wave signals, while the control layer incorporates a pulse wave conduction simulation model and a traditional Chinese medicine meridian parameter mapping mechanism to generate a pressure waveform control signal based on the pulse wave signals in accordance with the traditional Chinese medicine meridian regulation laws. The user interface layer inputs regulation commands and displays operating status. The bioregulation of the human body's body fluid circulation is achieved by correlating the pulse wave conduction characteristics with the qi and blood circulation parameters in traditional Chinese medicine meridian theory.

[0009] Preferably, the physiological signal collection layer includes a pulsation sensor that contacts the human skin and collects a waveform characteristic signal of a pulse wave based on a pressure sensing principle. The waveform characteristic signal includes at least a period signal reflecting the contraction and expansion characteristics of the heart and an amplitude signal reflecting the elasticity characteristics of blood vessels. The shape of the sensing area of ​​the sensor is adapted to the distribution area of ​​the superficial arteries of the human body, and the surface is covered with a flexible material that adheres to the human skin.

[0010] Preferably, the pulse wave conduction simulation model of the control layer is based on the Qi-blood circulation theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which states that "Qi controls blood, and blood is the mother of Qi," and establishes a coupled dynamic model of vascular pressure conduction and bodily fluid osmotic flow. The input of the model is pulse wave characteristic parameters, and the output is characteristic indicators reflecting the Qi-blood circulation state of the meridians, which include at least the Qi-blood circulation frequency ranges corresponding to the twelve normal meridians and the Qi-blood sufficiency parameters corresponding to the eight abnormal meridians.

[0011] Preferably, the traditional Chinese medicine meridian parameter mapping mechanism pre-establishes a mapping relationship between pulse wave characteristic parameters and traditional Chinese medicine meridian physiological parameters, including the qi and blood resonance frequency of each meridian, acupoint impedance characteristics, and meridian passage pressure threshold, etc. Through this mapping relationship, the pulse wave signal characteristics are converted into pressure waveform control parameters (such as waveform frequency, amplitude, and waveform shape characteristics) required for meridian regulation.

[0012] Preferably, the control layer includes a signal processing module and a waveform generation module. The signal processing module denoises and filters the collected pulse wave signals to extract characteristic parameters reflecting the cardiovascular status of the human body. The waveform generation module generates a composite pressure waveform containing specific frequency components based on the qi and blood circulation cycle characteristics of each meridian in traditional Chinese medicine meridian theory, and the frequency range of the composite pressure waveform covers the low frequency band of human physiology and the meridian resonance frequency band in traditional Chinese medicine theory.

[0013] Preferably, the method for generating the composite pressure waveform incorporates the time law of Qi and blood circulation of "meridian flow" in traditional Chinese medicine meridian theory, and dynamically adjusts waveform parameters according to the peak characteristics of the meridians corresponding to different times, for example, enhancing a specific frequency at the time corresponding to the Liver meridian, and adjusting the waveform amplitude at the time corresponding to the Spleen meridian.

[0014] Preferably, the user interface layer is provided with a meridian regulation mode selection unit, and the regulation modes include a partial meridian regulation mode based on the twelve normal meridians, a global regulation mode based on the eight extra meridians, and a local regulation mode based on the acupoint reflex zones, each of which corresponds to a preset meridian parameter combination, and the parameter combination includes a pressure waveform frequency-amplitude mapping rule related to the function of the corresponding meridian. [Effects of the Invention]

[0015] The present invention can provide the following beneficial effects: (1) Combining precise physiological signal collection with traditional Chinese medicine theory The physiological signal collection layer acquires pulse wave characteristic signals (period signals, amplitude signals, etc.) using a flexible, close-fitting pulsation sensor, and the control layer builds a coupled dynamic model based on the theory of "qi governs blood" to map pulse wave parameters to the meridian qi and blood circulation status (frequency range of the twelve regular meridians, sufficiency of the eight extraordinary meridians, etc.). This allows Western medical physiological indicators and Chinese medical meridian parameters to be linked across theoretical systems, building a data foundation for personalized meridian regulation. (2) Dynamically adaptive meridian regulation mechanism The control layer combines the time law of "meridian flow" to dynamically adjust pressure waveform parameters (for example, strengthening specific frequencies at the time of the Liver meridian and adjusting amplitudes at the time of the Spleen meridian), so that the regulation signal matches the time rhythm of Qi and blood circulation, significantly improving the accuracy and effectiveness of meridian intervention compared with traditional fixed parameter regulation. (3) Flexible adjustment plan through multi-modal integration The user interface provides modes such as partial meridian regulation (12 normal meridians), overall regulation (8 extra meridians), and local regulation (acupoint reflexology), each of which corresponds to a pre-set frequency-amplitude mapping rule, which can meet different health needs (organ conditioning, overall qi and blood balance, etc.), expanding the application scenarios of the device. (4) Wearable design and optimized comfort By adopting a ring-shaped wearable structure, coating the sensor surface with a flexible material, and adapting the detection area to the distribution of superficial arteries, comfort during long-term wear and stable signal collection are ensured, making it suitable for use in daily health management and in the home environment. (5) Enhancement of fluid circulation regulation effect by complex waveform The generated composite pressure waveform covers the physiological low frequency band and meridian resonance frequency band of the human body, and by applying pressure stimulation to the body surface, it coordinately regulates cardiovascular function and meridian qi and blood circulation, thereby realizing the biological regulation of the human body's body fluid circulation, with a more comprehensive regulation effect than single-frequency stimulation. (6) Intelligent signal processing and closed-loop regulation The control layer uses a signal processing module to remove noise from the pulse wave and extract characteristic parameters, forming a closed-loop system of "signal collection-parameter mapping-waveform generation-pressure stimulation", which can adjust the regulation strategy in real time according to the state of the human body, improving the intelligence and automation level of the device.

[0017] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are not all embodiments, but only some embodiments of the present invention. Needless to say, any other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative ingenuity will fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention. [Example]

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. The bio-meridian energy circulation device of the present invention adopts a wearable ring-shaped structure and includes a physiological signal collection layer that is in close contact with the human body, a control layer that integrates core processing modules, and a user interface layer. The physiological signal collection layer includes a pulsation sensor that contacts the human skin and collects pulse wave waveform characteristic signals based on the pressure sensing principle. The waveform characteristic signals include at least a periodic signal that reflects the contraction and expansion characteristics of the heart and an amplitude signal that reflects the elasticity characteristics of the blood vessels. The shape of the sensor's sensing area is adapted to the distribution area of ​​the superficial arteries of the human body, and its surface is covered with a flexible material that adheres to the human skin.

[0019] The pulse wave conduction simulation model of the control layer is based on the Qi-blood circulation theory of traditional Chinese medicine meridians, which states that "Qi controls blood, and blood is the mother of Qi," and establishes a coupled dynamic model of vascular pressure conduction and bodily fluid osmotic flow. The input of this model is pulse wave characteristic parameters, and the output is characteristic indicators reflecting the Qi-blood circulation state of the meridians, which at least include the Qi-blood circulation frequency ranges corresponding to the twelve normal meridians and the Qi-blood sufficiency parameters corresponding to the eight extraordinary meridians.

[0020] The traditional Chinese medicine meridian parameter mapping mechanism pre-establishes a mapping relationship between pulse wave characteristic parameters and traditional Chinese medicine meridian physiological parameters, including the qi and blood resonance frequency of each meridian, acupoint impedance characteristics, and meridian channel pressure threshold, etc. Through this mapping relationship, the pulse wave signal characteristics are converted into pressure waveform control parameters (such as waveform frequency, amplitude, and waveform shape characteristics) required for meridian regulation.

[0021] The control layer includes a signal processing module and a waveform generation module. The signal processing module denoises and filters the collected pulse wave signals to extract characteristic parameters reflecting the cardiovascular status of the human body. The waveform generation module generates a composite pressure waveform containing specific frequency components based on the qi and blood circulation cycle characteristics of each meridian in traditional Chinese medicine meridian theory, and the frequency range of the composite pressure waveform covers the low frequency band of human physiology and the meridian resonance frequency band in traditional Chinese medicine theory.

[0022] The method for generating the composite pressure waveform combines the time law of Qi and blood circulation of "meridian flow" in traditional Chinese medicine meridian theory, and dynamically adjusts the waveform parameters according to the peak characteristics of the meridians corresponding to different times, for example, strengthening a specific frequency at the time corresponding to the Liver meridian and adjusting the waveform amplitude at the time corresponding to the Spleen meridian. The user interface layer is provided with a meridian regulation mode selection unit, and the regulation modes include a partial meridian regulation mode based on the twelve normal meridians, a global regulation mode based on the eight extra meridians, and a local regulation mode based on the acupoint reflex zones. Each regulation mode corresponds to a preset meridian parameter combination, and the parameter combination includes a pressure waveform frequency-amplitude mapping rule related to the function of the meridian.

[0023] Operating principle The physiological signal collection layer acquires pulse wave signals. The signal processing module of the control layer extracts pulse wave characteristic parameters. Based on a parameter mapping mechanism established based on traditional Chinese medicine meridian theory, the characteristic parameters are converted into qi and blood circulation status parameters of the corresponding meridians. Based on the qi and blood circulation status parameters, a pressure waveform control signal is generated to meet the needs of meridian regulation. The waveform signal is converted into a pressure stimulus acting on the human body through a pressure output component, thereby achieving biological regulation of body fluid circulation.

[0024] The physiological signal collection layer collects pulse wave signals, including the cardiac contraction and expansion cycles and vascular elasticity characteristics, in real time through a flexible pulsation sensor that is placed in close contact with the superficial arteries of the human body, and transmits them to the control layer.

[0025] In the control layer, the signal is first subjected to noise removal and filtering to extract pulse wave characteristic parameters. Next, using a pulse wave conduction simulation model based on the Qi-blood circulation theory that states "Qi controls blood," the characteristic parameters are mapped to meridian state indicators, such as the Qi-blood circulation frequency of the twelve normal meridians and the sufficiency of the eight extraordinary meridians. At the same time, the meridian parameter mapping mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine is utilized to convert the pulse wave characteristics into pressure waveform control parameters including specific frequency, amplitude and waveform morphology characteristics. The waveform generation module integrates the time law of "meridian flow" and dynamically adjusts the composite pressure waveform parameters. Finally, the pressure output component converts the waveform signal into a mechanical stimulus that acts on the body surface. A closed-loop regulation link of "signal collection → meridian state evaluation → waveform parameter generation → targeted pressure stimulation" is formed, which realizes biomimetic regulation of body fluid circulation based on individual physiological characteristics and traditional Chinese medicine time medicine theory.

[0026] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above description, and those skilled in the art may make various modifications and alterations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical idea of ​​the present invention, and all such modifications and alterations shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
