AnturiSensor
Keksinnön kohteena on anturi pulssin mittaamiseksi korvasta, joka anturi käsittää kahdesta toisiinsa nivelöi-5 dystä osasta muodostetun nipistimen, joka on tarkoitettu sovitettavaksi korvaan niin, että korva jää nipistimen toisiaan vasten puristavien leukojen väliin.The present invention relates to a sensor for measuring the pulse of the ear, comprising a clamp formed of two mutually articulated parts, which is intended to be inserted in the ear so that the ear is caught between the clamping jaws of the clamp.
' Pulssin mittaus on nykyään varsin tavanomainen ja yleinen toimenpide esimerkiksi kuntoilun yhteydessä. Itse 10 asiassa monen kuntoilijan kunto-ohjelma tai suoritus perustuu pulssin mittaamiseen ja seuraamiseen ohjelman tai suorituksen aikana. Pulssin mittausta käytetään kunto-ohjelman tai suorituksen kontrollointiin sekä sisätiloissa tapahtuvan kuntoilun yhteydessä, että ulkona tapahtuvan kuntoilun 15 yhteydessä.'Pulse measurement is nowadays a very common and common procedure, for example, when exercising. In fact, the multi-fitness workout or exercise is based on measuring and tracking the pulse during the exercise or exercise. Pulse measurement is used to control a workout or performance, both for indoor exercise and outdoor exercise 15.
Pulssianturin kiinnityskohtana on varsin usein kuntoilijan korva ja tarkemmin sanoen korvalehden alaosasa oleva korvan nipukka. Anturi on perinteisesti kiinnitetty korvan nipukkaan nipistintyyppisellä ratkaisulla, jossa on 20 olennaisesti suorat leukojen varsiosat. Ongelmana on kuitenkin ollut se, että korvan nipukat ovat ihmisillä usein hyvin eri paksuisia ja kokoisia ja joillakin ihmisillä ei ole korvan nipukkaa lainkaan, joten anturin kiinnittäminen korvan nipukkaan on hankalaa. Lisäksi on ongelmana ollut 25 se, että korvan nipukkaan kiinnitetty anturi on käytössä epämukava em. syistä johtuen, sillä anturi voi puristaa liiaksi, se voi irrota liian helposti jne. Ongelmaksi on muodostunut edelleen se, että nykyään sekä naisilla että miehillä on varsin usein korvakoruja, jotka on kiinnitetty 30 nimenomaan korvan nipukkaan. Tällöin on joissain tapauksissa erittäin vaikeata saada nipistintyyppistä anturia mahtumaan nipukkaan. Korvan muihin osiin nykyisiä antureita on käytännössä mahdoton kiinnittää, sillä ne puristavat liiaksi korvaa, jolloin niiden käyttö on liian epämukavaa.Quite often the attachment point of the pulse transducer is the ear of the exerciser, and more specifically the lobe at the bottom of the earlobe. The sensor is conventionally attached to the earlobe by a clamp-type solution having 20 substantially straight arms of the jaws. However, the problem has been that ear bundles are often very different in thickness and size in humans and some people do not have ear bundles at all, so it is difficult to attach the sensor to the ear bundle. In addition, the problem has been that the sensor attached to the earbud is uncomfortable for the reasons mentioned above, because the sensor can be pinched, removed too easily, etc. It is still a problem nowadays that both women and men often have earrings, which are attached to 30 specifically ear bundles. In such cases, it is sometimes very difficult to get the pin type sensor to fit in the pin. It is virtually impossible to attach existing sensors to the other parts of the ear because they over-press the ear, making them too uncomfortable to use.
35 Keksinnön tarkoituksena on saada aikaan anturi, / / * / / ' 2 111214 jonka avulla aiemmin tunnetun tekniikan epäkohdat voidaan eliminoida. Tähän on päästy keksinnön mukaisen anturin avulla, joka on tunnettu siitä, että nipistimen leukojen varsiosat on muodostettu kaareviksi osiksi niin, että leu-5 kojen ollessa toisiaan vasten painautuvassa tilassa, varsi-osien väliin jää tila korvan rusto-osalle.It is an object of the invention to provide a sensor, by which the disadvantages of the prior art can be eliminated. This is achieved by means of a sensor according to the invention, characterized in that the arm portions of the clamp jaws are formed as curved portions such that, when the Leu-5 jaws are pressed against each other, there is space between the arm portions for the cartilage of the ear.
Keksinnön etuna on ennen kaikkea se, että keksinnön avulla pystytään eliminoimaan kaikki aiemman tekniikan yhteydessä esiintyneet epäkohdat, ts. anturi voidaan kiin-10 nittää helposti ja käyttäjän kannalta miellyttävästi korvan eri kohtiin, jolloin esimerkiksi korvan muoto tai korvakorut eivät aiheuta ongelmia. Etuna on edelleen se, että keksinnön mukainen anturi voidaan edelleen kiinnittää myös korvan nipukkaan mikäli käyttäjä on esimerkiksi 15 tottunut siihen ja haluaa edelleen kiinnittää anturin nipukkaan. Keksinnön etuna on lisäksi sen yksinkertaisuus, jolloin valmistuskustannukset ja sen myötä myyntihinta muodostuvat edullisiksi. Etuna on lisäksi se, että keksinnön mukaista anturia voidaan käyttää nykyisten 20 mittauslaitteiden yhteydessä, joten ko. laitteiden käyttökelpoisuutta saadaan parannettua erittäin edullisella tavalla.The main advantage of the invention is that the invention can eliminate all the drawbacks of the prior art, i.e. the sensor can be easily and conveniently attached to different places of the ear, so that, for example, the shape of the ear or the earrings do not cause any problems. A further advantage is that the sensor according to the invention can also be attached to the earpiece if, for example, the user is used to it and wishes to further attach the sensor to the earpiece. A further advantage of the invention is its simplicity, whereby the manufacturing costs and consequently the selling price are advantageous. A further advantage is that the sensor according to the invention can be used in conjunction with existing measuring devices. the usability of the devices can be improved in a very advantageous way.
Keksintöä ryhdytään selvittämään seuraavassa tarkemmin oheisessa piirustuksessa esitetyn erään edullisen 25 sovellutusmuodon avulla, jolloin kuvio 1 esittää periaatteellisesti keksinnön ’mukaista anturia sivulta nähtynä kuvantona ja kuvio 2 esittää periaatteellisesti keksinnön mukaisen anturin erästä edullista kiinnityskohtaa.The invention will now be explained in more detail by means of a preferred embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 shows in principle a sensor according to the invention in a side view and Figure 2 shows in principle a preferred mounting point of the sensor according to the invention.
30 Kuviossa 1 on esitetty periaatteellisesti eräs kek- / sinnön mukaisen anturin toteutusmuoto. Anturi käsittää / kaksi toisiinsa nivelöityä osaa 1, 2. Osat 1, 2 on nivelöi-ty toisiinsa nivelakselin 3 avulla. Anturi on varustettu lisäksi jousivälineellä, jonka avulla anturin leuat 4, 5 35 saadaan puristumaan toisiaan vasten. Jousiväline on sijoitettu edullisesti nivelakselin 3 yhteyteen. Viitenumeroiden 3 111214 6, 7 avulla kuvioon on merkitty sormiosat, joiden avulla anturin leuat 4, 5 saadaan avautumaan sovitettaessa anturia paikalleen tai irrotettaessa sitä käytön jälkeen. Kuvioon 1 on merkitty lisäksi katkoviivoilla johdin, jota pit-5 kin mitattu tieto johdetaan esimerkiksi näyttölaitteelle. Johtimet, mittatiedon käsittelyssä käytettävät laitteet ja liitokset yms. ovat alan ammattimiehelle täysin tavanomaista tekniikkaa, joten ko. seikkoja ei esitetä tarkemmin tässä yhteydessä.Figure 1 shows, in principle, an embodiment of a sensor according to the invention. The sensor comprises / two articulated parts 1, 2. Parts 1, 2 are articulated by means of an articulated shaft 3. The sensor is further provided with a spring means by which the jaws 4, 5 35 of the sensor are pressed against each other. Preferably, the spring means is disposed on the pivot shaft 3. With reference numerals 3 111214 6, 7, finger portions are provided in the figure, by means of which the jaws 4, 5 of the sensor can be opened by fitting or detaching the sensor after use. In Fig. 1, a dashed line is further indicated by dashed lines which, for example, are fed to a display device. Wires, instrumentation and connectors used in the processing of dimensional data, are standard techniques to those of ordinary skill in the art, so the art. the details will not be described here.
10 Keksinnön olennaisen ajatuksen mukaisesti nipistimen leukojen 4, 5 varsiosat 8, 9 on muodostettu kaareviksi osiksi niin, että leukojen 4, 5 ollessa toisiaan vasten painautuvassa tilassa, varsiosien 8, 9 väliin jää tila 10 korvan rusto-osalle. Varsiosien 8, 9 kaarevuus näkyy sel-15 västi kuviossa 1. Kuviossa 2 näkyy puolestaan eräs esimerkki miten keksinnön mukainen anturi voidaan asettaa korvaan 11. Anturin sijoituskohta on merkitty nuolen N avulla kuvioon 2. Kuten kuviosta 2 näkyy keksinnön mukainen anturi voidaan sovittaa korvan 11 reunaan mikäli korvan 11 nipu-20 kassa 12 on esimerkiksi korvakoru tai mikäli anturia ei muuten voida sovittaa nipukkaan. Sijoitus korvan reunaan kuvion 2 mukaisella tavalla tulee mahdolliseksi, koska korvan reunan rusto-osa mahtuu kaarevien varsiosien 8, 9 väliin jäävään tilaan 10, jolloin anturi ei purista reunan ; 25 rusto-osaa eikä näin aiheuta kipua käyttäjälle. On huomat- ; tava, että keksinnön mukainen anturi voidaan edelleen so- '· vittaa myös korvan nipukkaan 12 mikäli tällaista kiinnitys- v tä halutaan käyttää ja mikäli ko. kiinnitystäpä on mahdol linen käyttäjän mielestä.According to an essential idea of the invention, the arm portions 8, 9 of the clamp jaws 4, 5 are formed as curved portions such that, when the jaws 4, 5 are in a reciprocal state, there is a space 10 between the arm portions 8, 9 for the cartilage of the ear. In the parts 8, 9 of the curvature is shown sel-15 Västi in Figure 1. Figure 2 shows in turn one example of how the sensor according to the invention can be placed in the ear 11. The sensor position is marked by arrow N to Figure 2. As shown in Figure 2, the sensor according to the invention can be fitted to the edge of the ear 11 for example, if the bundle 20 of the ear 11 is for example a earring or if the sensor cannot otherwise be fitted to the bundle. Positioning on the edge of the ear as shown in Fig. 2 is possible because the cartilage portion of the ear edge fits in the space 10 between the curved shaft portions 8, 9, whereby the edge is not compressed by the sensor; 25 cartilage and does not cause pain to the user. It is noticeable; It should be understood that the sensor according to the invention can also be further fitted to the earpiece 12 if such an attachment is to be used and if the attachment is to be used. the attachment head is possible in the user's opinion.
30 Edellä esitettyä keksinnön sovellutusesimerkkiä ei ole mitenkään tarkoitettu rajoittamaan keksintöä, vaan keksintöä voidaan muunnella patenttivaatimusten puitteissa täysin vapaasti. Näin ollen on selvää, että keksinnön mukaisen anturin tai sen yksityiskohtien ei välttämättä tar-35 vitse olla juuri sellaisia kuin kuvioissa on esitetty, vaan 4 111214 muunlaisetkin yksityiskohdat ovat mahdollisia. Anturin varsiosat voidaan esimerkiksi muotoilla toisinkin kuin kuviossa 1 on esitetty, olennaista on ainoastaan se, että varsiosien väliin jää vapaa tila korvan rusto-osaa varten 5 silloin kun anturin leuat ovat ns. kiinni-asennossa. Keksinnön mukaista anturia ei ole mitenkään rajoitettu johonkin tiettyyn materiaaliin, vaan anturi voidaan muodostaa mistä tahansa sopivasta materiaalista, esimerkiksi muovi-materiaalista.The above embodiment of the invention is not intended to limit the invention in any way, but the invention can be modified freely within the scope of the claims. Thus, it is clear that the sensor according to the invention or its details need not necessarily be exactly as shown in the figures, but other details are also possible. For example, the shaft parts of the sensor may be shaped differently than shown in Fig. 1, it is only essential that there is free space between the shaft parts for the cartilage 5 of the ear when the jaws of the sensor are so-called. in the closed position. The sensor of the invention is in no way limited to any particular material, but the sensor may be formed of any suitable material, for example a plastic material.
