Description

Full-automatic blood pressure measuring device integrating arm position detection
Technical Field
The utility model relates to a medical appliance, in particular to a full-automatic blood pressure measuring device (or called full-automatic sphygmomanometer).
Background
Generally, methods for measuring blood pressure are classified into an auscultatory method and an oscillometric method. The auscultation method is mainly applied to the mercury sphygmomanometer, needs professional medical personnel to operate, and has limitation in use; the oscillography rule is mainly applied to the electronic sphygmomanometer, professional medical care personnel are not needed to operate, even the old people can operate the electronic sphygmomanometer by themselves, the use is simple and convenient, and the electronic sphygmomanometer is mostly selected under the household condition. Most of electronic blood pressure meters in the market currently adopt an oscillometric method to measure blood pressure, and the oscillometric method is mainly characterized in that a cuff is inflated to block arterial blood flow, then the gas pressure in the cuff is detected in the deflation process, and weak pulse waves are extracted, so that the systolic pressure, the diastolic pressure and the pulse rate are detected. The electronic sphygmomanometer is greatly reduced in use difficulty, and people can purchase the electronic sphygmomanometer to detect the blood pressure, so that the electronic sphygmomanometer has important significance for health management.
With the increasing importance of people on health, not only more and more individuals can purchase the sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure, but also hospitals invest a large amount of funds to purchase the sphygmomanometer to be used by each department, the residential department and the physical examination department of outpatient service. However, in the current market, the ratio of the mercury sphygmomanometer to the arm electronic sphygmomanometer is the largest, when the two types of sphygmomanometers are used, the staff is required to assist in tightening the cuff and then measure the blood pressure, the blood pressure is measured in an outpatient service or physical examination center with great flow, the workload of medical workers is greatly increased, the measurement efficiency is very low, the work of the medical workers is greatly influenced, the dysphoric psychology of the medical workers and the users is easily caused, and the measurement accuracy can be influenced due to the poor consistency of the cuff bound by the staff. This has created a need in the market for a sphygmomanometer that automatically tightens the cuff, which requires not only automatic tightening of the cuff, but also the consistency of each tightening and the accuracy of the measurement are of paramount importance. In order to solve the problem, more and more manufacturers begin to research and develop full-automatic tunnel type electronic sphygmomanometer, can automatically tighten the cuff and automatically measure the blood pressure, does not need medical staff to participate in the whole process, and can ensure the accuracy and consistency of the blood pressure measurement while improving the blood pressure measurement efficiency.
At present, the cuff binding mode of the full-automatic tunnel sphygmomanometer is mainly divided into two modes, one mode is an air bag inflation compression mode, namely an air bag is arranged between an arm cylinder and a shell, and the air bag is inflated to compress the arm cylinder to contract so as to compress the arm and then measure the blood pressure; the other mode is a mode of pulling and tightening the cuff by a mechanical structure, namely, the force is transmitted to the moving part by the rotation of the motor, so that the arm cylinder is pulled to tighten the arm to measure the blood pressure.
