Description

Thumb ring type detection equipment

Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a thumb ring type detecting apparatus, and more particularly, to a thumb ring type detecting apparatus for detecting various physiological indexes of a human body.

Background

With the development of society and the living standard of people, the requirements of people on medical treatment and nursing level are increasing, and especially the requirements of the aging population on the detection of daily physiological indexes are more comprehensive. Therefore, with the development of electronic technology, medical detection apparatuses are increasingly miniaturized and portable, so that detection services of real-time physiological indexes can be provided for various users.

However, various portable detection instruments currently cannot realize diversified detection. Non-invasive detection is also not possible for detection of e.g. blood glucose indicators. Although the existing physiological index detectors achieve miniaturization and portability, the detectors still have problems in the aspect of real-time monitoring of some physiological indexes.

For example, real-time monitoring of arterial blood oxygen concentration is important in clinical rescue. Many clinical diseases cause a lack of oxygen supply, which directly affects the normal metabolism of cells, and seriously threatens human life, requiring real-time blood oxygen concentration detection for some specific patients. Although many small portable medical testing instruments are currently on the market, there are a number of inconveniences with these instruments. For example, portable oximeter devices for measuring the blood oxygenation of a person are typically of the finger cuff or finger clip type construction. The blood oxygen detecting instrument is convenient, and can detect the blood oxygen saturation value of a user only by inserting a finger into a finger stall or placing the finger stall between two finger splints when in use. Therefore, the oximeter has a simple structure and is convenient to use. However, such finger cuffs and fingergrip devices typically require a certain amount of clamping force, which can cause inconvenience to the user's finger movements during the measurement process, greatly affecting the user's daily work and life. Also, if the user needs to monitor the blood oxygen level of the human body in real time for a long time, such clamping force may cause the finger to be in a state of poor blood circulation for a long time, resulting in necrosis of the finger and discrepancy between the detected blood oxygen saturation and the actual physiological index of the user. Moreover, some existing ring-type detection devices mostly employ both finger-grip and wrap-type detection devices, which can be removed during use at night. Or some ring-type detection equipment adopts winding type, so that the winding type operation is complicated, and the ring-type detection equipment is particularly unfriendly to the old. Whether it is a clip-on or wrap-around type inspection apparatus or a wrap-around type inspection apparatus, the breathability is poor and perspiration is easily caused by long-term wear. It is therefore desirable to employ a thumb-ring type detection device that is relatively easy to adjust and that does not completely encase the fingers for ventilation.

The thumb ring type detection device disclosed by the invention is characterized in that the width of the first lock hole and the width of the second lock hole are smaller than the thickness of the protruding clamping strip of the locking strip, so that the protruding clamping strip is blocked by the second lock hole after the protruding clamping strip is deformed to pass through the second lock hole in a pressing mode through the second lock hole.

The thumb ring type detection device disclosed by the invention, wherein the second lock hole adjusts the size of the closed thumb ring by clamping the protruding clamping strips at different positions of the locking strips so as to adapt to the thumbs of users with different thicknesses.

A thumb-ring detection device according to the present disclosure, wherein the sensing element comprises at least one of: blood oxygen sensing element, blood pressure detector, blood glucose sensing element, temperature sensing element, and ECG sensing element.

The thumb-ring type detecting device according to the present disclosure, wherein the bottom side portion has a groove at a side thereof for receiving and catching a power cord extending from a side of the bottom side latch.

Therefore, according to the thumb ring type detection device, due to the mode of combining the soft rubber component and the hard rubber component, the comfort of the soft rubber and the air permeability of the hard rubber are compatible. Moreover, a row of ribs or raised clamping strips are arranged on the soft rubber and serve as buckling positions, the function of adjusting the size is achieved by matching with a second lock hole on the hard rubber, and the device can be used by thumbs with different sizes. In addition, the dense flax distribution columns or columnar bulges on the inner side of the locking strips of the soft rubber can increase the air permeability of the soft rubber, and the comfort is increased to a greater extent. In addition, the structure for preventing the pull handle position from being pulled out excessively by force is additionally arranged on the locking strip or the pull handle position, so that the complex use and operation are avoided.

For convenience of description, the following description will be mainly made in terms of the way in which the blood oxygen sensing element is mounted in the test apparatus.

Fig. 1 is a schematic exploded view of a thumb-ring type detection apparatus according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the thumb-ring detection device 10 of the present disclosure includes a thumb-ring body 20 and a locking assembly 30. The locking assembly 30 is made of soft rubber in a bar shape, and includes a left side block 31, a bottom side block 31, a right side block 33, and a locking bar 34 extending outwardly from the left side block 31 or the right side block 33. The thumb ring body 20 is made of hard rubber and has an annular shape with an upper side partially opened. The thumb ring body 20 includes an open annular shape formed by a left side portion 21, a bottom side portion 22, and a right side portion 23. The left portion 21 includes a left recess 214 for receiving the left catch 31 (the external position is conveniently referred to in fig. 1 for drawing, and in fact the corresponding internal position of the referred to outside). The bottom portion 22 includes a bottom recess 222 for receiving the bottom latch 32. The right portion 23 includes a right recess 234 that receives the right latch 33.

As shown in fig. 1, the respective lower ends of the left side portion 21 and the right side portion 23 are hinged to both end portions of the bottom side portion 22 by a hinge mechanism 221, respectively. The left and

right parts

21, 23 are thus pivotally movably connected to the bottom part 22, so that the opening between the upper ends of the left and

right parts

21, 23 can be made larger or smaller by pivoting the hinge. In order to provide a better fit of the inside of the thumb-ring detection device 10 to the sides of the user's thumb, the left and

right parts

21, 23 each include a bent upper and lower portion that are bent to a degree such that the left and

right parts

21, 23 each fit the sides of the thumb. Although the expression "kink" is used herein, the left and

right side portions

21 and 23 may be of an arcuate configuration, and thus the "kink" may be of an arcuate configuration.

As shown in fig. 1, left groove 214 is located at the lower bend 212 of left portion 21 and right groove 234 is located at the lower bend 232 of right portion 23. The left or

right portion

21 or 23 is formed at a bent portion thereof with a through

hole

215 or 235 for the locking bar 34 to pass therethrough. This through

hole

215 or 235 may be formed at an upper end of the bent lower portion 212 of the left side portion 21 or the bent lower portion 232 of the right side portion 23 for the locking bar to pass through. In this way, the locking assembly 30, when installed into the thumb ring body 20, may pass the locking strip 34 from the inside to the outside of the thumb ring body 20.

As shown in fig. 1, in order to close the upper side separating opening, it is necessary to form a first locking hole 233 and a second locking hole 213 for the locking bar 34 to pass through at the respective upper ends of the left side portion 21 and the right side portion 23. Such that the locking bar passes through the first locking hole 233 of the upper end of one of the left and

right side portions

21 and 23 from the outside of the thumb ring type body 20 and then passes through the second locking hole 213 of the upper end of the other of the left and

right side portions

21 and 23 from the inside of the thumb ring type body 20, thereby forming a closed thumb ring for physiological signal detection against the abdomen of the thumb by the sensing element 38 disposed on the bottom side fixture block 32 facing the abdomen of the thumb.

As shown in fig. 1, the locking strip 34 has a plurality of columnar projections 35 uniformly spaced on the inner surface thereof facing the thumb ring body 20, such that the columnar projections 35 abut against the backs of the thumb when the thumb ring detector is mounted in the thumb ring body 20. In this way, the inner sides of the thumb ring body 10 are not completely fitted with the fingers due to the uniform spacing of the columnar projections 35, and the fingers caused by the completely fitted fingers are squeezed to cause unsmooth blood flow. The incomplete finger fitting state is that the detected finger brings certain air circulation, so that the condition that the temperature of the finger rises due to long-time finger fitting is avoided.

As shown in fig. 1, in an assembled view of the locking assembly 30 mounted to the thumb ring body 20, the locking bar 34 is shown having a plurality of elastically deformable raised locking bars 36 uniformly arranged along the extending direction of the locking bar 34 perpendicular to the extending direction. Thus, when the locking bar 34 passes through the second locking hole 213, the protruding locking bar 36 is restored to its original shape after passing through the second locking hole 213 due to elastic deformation by being pressed through the second locking hole 213, so that the locking bar 34 closes the upper side opening, so that the closed thumb ring formed by the thumb ring type body 20 and the locking assembly 30 is gradually contracted without being released. Fig. 3 is a schematic view illustrating a use state of the thumb ring body 20 and the locking assembly 30 according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the circumference of the thumb ring type sensing device, which may be by pulling the locking bar 34 in the direction of the arrow, gradually decreases and gradually locks onto the thumb of the user.

As shown in fig. 1, the widths of the first locking hole 233 and the second locking hole 213 are smaller than the thickness of the protruding locking strip of the locking strip, so that the protruding locking strip is blocked by the second locking hole after being deformed to be pressed by the second locking hole 213 and then to pass through the second locking hole. Alternatively, the width of the first locking hole 233 may be wider, and the locking function is not performed.

It should be noted that, the left clamping block 31, the bottom clamping block 31 and the right clamping block 33 are all made of soft rubber, and thus can be directly and correspondingly clamped in the left groove 214, the bottom groove 222 and the right groove 234 in an interference fit manner.

As shown in fig. 1, the sensing element 38 includes at least one of: blood oxygen sensing element, blood pressure detector, blood glucose sensing element, temperature sensing element, and ECG sensing element. The at least one sensing element 38 may face the abdomen of the finger. For example, a temperature sensing element and a blood oxygen detecting device may be provided in the abdomen of the finger, or an ECG sensing element, or a blood sugar sensing element may be provided. These devices may be provided in combination or different sensing elements 38 may be provided in each of the individual fingers of the suit, as desired by the user.

A battery compartment (not shown) for mounting a battery, which is arranged therein and may be used to power the sensing element 38, may be arranged in the bottom recess 222 of the thumb-ring detection device. The sensing element 38 may also be powered by an external power cord 39. The battery is a disposable battery or a rechargeable battery. The bottom portion 22 has a groove in its side for receiving and retaining a power cord 39 extending laterally from the bottom latch 32.

Fig. 2 is a schematic view illustrating a use state of the thumb-ring type detecting apparatus according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the user's thumb is locked after passing through the thumb-ring type detecting device. The second locking aperture 213 accommodates the user's thumb of different thickness by engaging the raised locking bar 36 at different positions of the locking bar 34 to adjust the size of the closed thumb ring with the web of the thumb facing the detecting element 38.

Fig. 3 is a schematic view illustrating a use state of the thumb ring body 20 and the locking assembly 30 according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the circumference of the thumb ring type sensing device, which may be by pulling the locking bar 34 in the direction of the arrow, gradually decreases and gradually locks onto the thumb of the user.

As shown in fig. 2, the thumb-ring detection device 10 is locked to the user's finger in the manner described above. The thumb ring body 20 and the locking assembly 30 are all made of opaque silicone. Because the columnar bulges 35 are uniformly arranged at intervals on the inner side, the inner side of the thumb ring type body 20 can not be completely attached to fingers, the fingers which can be caused by completely attaching the fingers are extruded to cause unsmooth blood flow, and the gaps between the columnar bulges 35 can play a role in ventilation. Since the thumb-ring type detecting device is worn in the middle of the finger, the tip of the finger is separated to expose the outside so that the user can perform other works and operations that the finger itself must participate in, for example, performing a touch operation of the touch screen.

Further, the sensing element 38 may be a reflective blood oxygen detection device. The reflective blood oxygen sensing element includes a light emitting element (e.g., a light emitting diode LED) and a light receiving element (e.g., a silicon photocell PD). The light emitting element (e.g. light emitting diode LED) is arranged side by side with the light receiving element (e.g. silicon photocell PD), both being in close proximity to the abdomen of the user's finger when the thumb-ring detection device is worn. The light emitting element and the light receiving element can be respectively arranged at respective corresponding positions in a pasting mode, and can also be integrally formed on the opening annular thumb ring type body 20, the shape of the thumb ring type body 20 accords with the human engineering principle, when the hard silica gel thumb ring type body 20 is sleeved on a finger of a user after being embedded into the locking component 30 made of soft rubber, the silica gel element is automatically attached to the finger under the action of the locking component 30, so that the influence of ambient light on the sensing precision of the sensing element can be prevented. The silicone element may be black, thereby further shielding ambient light. The light emitting element emits red light and infrared light with different wavelengths, the two light rays are reflected by skin tissues of a human body, then are received by the light receiving element and are converted into blood oxygen signals, the blood oxygen signals are transmitted to the sensing signal processing device (not shown), and the sensing signal processing device processes the blood oxygen signals to obtain blood oxygen saturation. The blood oxygen sensing element 38 is connected to the sensing signal processing device by an external flexible communication line, or by a wireless connection.

In summary, the thumb ring type detection device provided in this embodiment measures physiological parameters such as blood oxygen, blood sugar, blood pressure, electrocardio, temperature, pulse wave by arranging the sensing element at the position of the detection device rich in blood vessels of the hand, thereby increasing the application universality of the detection device and enabling the sensing function to be more complete. Particularly, the detection device is used as a sensing instrument, so that the convenience, accuracy and comfort of sensing physiological parameters are improved. The thumb ring type detection device provided by the disclosure has the characteristics of difficult falling, ventilation, good blood oxygen value collection, pulse wave collection and the like. Therefore, the device is suitable for monitoring blood oxygen saturation, pulse wave, blood sugar, blood pressure, electrocardio and temperature for a long time.
