Alarm module connects for sending out alarm when detecting that electrode is bad with skin contact, and to medical worker's feedback Touch undesirable electrode number;
Movable nylon tape is set on data line close near the electrode of connector, for fixing extra not connected electricity The data line of pole.
Operation principle is explained in detail with reference to Fig. 2.
Each electrode is respectively connected to electrode signal controller by data line.
When mounted, when the electrode of n-th of electrode is to detecting that electrode has been fitted in skin surface, air pump pumps out electrode cavity Interior gas forms negative pressure state under the action of air pressure reduces in electrode, be gradually adsorbed to skin surface, reduces contact impedance And keep electrode secured with skin attachement;When the air pressure that baroceptor detects reaches the atmospheric pressure value of installation electrode of setting, Installation is complete for the electrode, micro air pump break-off, and on the skin, electrode signal controller passes through knowledge for electrode absorption completely at this time The number of electrodes not connected determines working electrode quantity.After all electrode adsorptions install, system starts.
Before system work, the safe range and dynamic equilibrium value of default nominal pressure value are needed, it is more than people to prevent air pressure Body skin can tolerance range, cause skin histology impaired.During the work time, air pressure control module is responsible for balanced each electrode cavity The air pressure of body.Baroceptor monitors the gas pressure in electrode in real time, and barometric information is fed back to electricity by data line The air pressure control module of pole signal controller, there are four types of the state of a controls of air pressure:If air pressure is more than dynamic equilibrium value, miniature gas Pumped gas;If air pressure is less than dynamic equilibrium value, micro air pump is pumped into gas;If air pressure is at dynamic equilibrium value, electricity The air pressure of pole is in equilibrium state;If air pressure is more than nominal pressure range and electrode is more than setting threshold to the contact impedance value measured Value, micro air pump gas bleeding, and alarm signal is returned, alarm module feeds back the electrode of corresponding poor contact to medical worker Number.Using air pressure detection function, electrode system can realize that stability is adjusted.
During the work time, the impedance measurement of electrode and excitation measurement process alternately, by electrode data processing module The state for controlling each electrode pair, according to the excitation measurement pattern of program setting to each electrode to encouraging in order, measuring telecommunications Number, carry out impedance measurement after each excitation measurement period.
As shown in figure 3, when connector be inserted into electrode signal controller and be powered after, according to data line setting distance by One places an electrode on skin, then electrode automatic absorbing is fixed remaining data with activity nylon tape and passed in skin surface Defeated line controls its start-up operation by the switch of system.
Electrode describes:
Referring to fig. 4 to fig. 6, electrode is mainly by aspirating hole 1, signal processing module 2, insulating layer 3, ground plane 4, a pair of electrodes Thin slice 5 and shell 6 are constituted.Shell 6 is using hard material (such as acrylic, plastics etc.), correspondingly, layer structure can both make With hard material, soft material can also be used.
In Fig. 4,1 is aspirating hole, is set to the tip platform of electrode cup body.When electrode is installed, then by control system Control air pump carries out decompression adsorption operations.2 be signal processing module, is positioned over the tip platform of electrode, including electrode interface, gas Pressure sensor and analog-to-digital conversion circuit.
