Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is directed to a timer for medical clinical tests, and particularly to a timer for medical clinical tests for measuring the sedimentation rate of erythrocytes, which is capable of sequentially and continuously measuring a large number of time values.

Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate 1 Measurement Co., Ltd., which measures the rate at which red blood cells in a blood drawer injected into a specified glass tubule descends within 1 and 2 hours, is considered an essential test method in medical clinical diagnosis. Erythrocyte sedimentation continuous change measurement companies in hospitals and clinics generally test 10 to 50 people a day, and in cases such as mass testing, they often test more than 100 people a day. I can sell it.

Since such a large number of examinations are usually carried out in conjunction with other medical work, conventional clocks and timers, etc., are used to complete the examinations, which has the disadvantage of greatly reducing one's attentiveness. Currently, there is also a multi-timer for clinical testing (multi-tone minute and hour meter), which inserts multiple color-coded pins at arbitrary positions on a disk that rotates once in a fixed period of time. The rotation of the pin measures the passage of time. However, when this type of timer is used for a measurement task that is relatively simple but requires many consecutive repetitions, such as the measurement of erythrocyte sedimentation rate 1, the number of pins becomes large and It has the drawback that it is complicated to use because the insertion operation is a narrow operation, and it is cumbersome and difficult to use for measuring erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

This invention adds a plurality of timer rods in parallel to the main shaft rotating at a constant speed, which are loosely fitted when not measuring, and which can be rotated integrally with the main shaft with a force that can be crimped during measurement. Notification switches are arranged side by side, and when each timer stick reaches the timekeeping position as the main shaft rotates, the timer stick presses the notification switch and closes the circuit. By providing a timer for medical clinical testing, which is characterized by having a storage case externally mounted on the main shaft with a corresponding notch, the above-mentioned drawbacks have been eliminated. The purpose is to provide an inspection timer.

In Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 showing an enlarged view of part A of Fig. 1,
■Fi It is a motor that rotates once every predetermined time such as 1 hour or 2 hours. In this embodiment, the driving force is provided by the motor (2), but it may also be provided by a spring or other method. ■ is the motor rotation shaft, ■ is the main shaft and is connected to the motor rotation shaft ■. The main shaft (2) is made of a lightweight tube made of aluminum, synthetic resin, etc., and the outer circumference of the main shaft (2) may be covered with an elastic material such as rubber, string, etc., or an uneven portion may be formed thereon. ,
■It is a timepiece, and consists of a cylindrical body with a threaded through hole extending from the outside diameter to the inside diameter, and a pin with one end screwed into the through hole and a knob body ■ formed on the other end. It consists of a body (2), and is loosely fitted onto the main shaft (2) when not in measurement, and is rotatable integrally with the main shaft (2) when the tip (2) of the screw of the knob body (2) is pressed against the main shaft (2) during measurement. The tip part ■ is pointed in Figure 2, and the timepiece rod ■ corresponds to the glass tube for the erythrocyte sedimentation measurement rod, with numbers 1, 2, 3, etc. written on the knob on the head, respectively, and the main axis ■. Install any number of 10 to 30 pieces in parallel. In addition, as shown in Fig. 3, the hand time rod (2) has a cylinder body (2) having a through hole bored from the outer diameter to the inner diameter approximately at the center, and a groove formed on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder body corresponding to the wrinkled through hole. part (■), a bottle body (■) which is slidably fitted into the small cylinder (■, has a tip part (■) at one end and a knob body (■) at the other end), and connects the small tube (■) and the knob body (■). It is composed of a spring 0, which loosely fits into the main shaft ■ when not measuring, and when measuring, when the knob body ■ tip of the male screw presses the main shaft @, it is formed so that it can rotate integrally with the main shaft ■. It's okay.

Next, as shown in Fig. 4, the timepiece rod ■ consists of a hairpin body @ consisting of a bent part @ that engages with the outer peripheral surface of the main shaft ■ and a cylindrical body @ having an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the main shaft ■. , When not measuring, the rcti cylinder body O slides in the direction of the main shaft ■ while being loosely fitted to the main shaft ■ when not measuring, and the hairpin body @ and the main shaft ■ are crimped and formed to be rotatable integrally with the main shaft ■. good. O and [phase] are notification switches, ■ are made of flexible conductors, and [phase] is made of fixed continuous conductors. Flexible conductor 0
and the fixed continuous conductor [phase] are spaced apart from each other by approximately 05 to 10 m, and are arranged in parallel to each other, approximately parallel to the axial direction of the main axis (1), and having approximately the same length as the main axis. In this example, a fixed continuous conductor [phase]
F1.Although it consists of one conductor, it may consist of two or more fixed conductors parallel to each other. The flexible electrical conductor O is made of stainless steel, steel, copper, or other coil springs having electrical conductivity and elasticity. The fixed continuous electrical conductor @ consists of a bar or thin plate made of stainless steel, steel, copper, or other electrical conductor. The flexible continuum O and the fixed continuous conductor connect with bell, buzzer, chime and lamp circuits.

[Co., Ltd.] is a storage case made of plastic 2, which extends from the motor 2 to the other end bearing part 0 having a bearing, and includes a main shaft 2 cylindrical body 2, a flexible conductor O 1 fixed continuous conductor [
Install it externally, such as in a phase. Although the storage case [phase] has a semicircular side surface in FIG. 1, one side may have a substantially triangular shape as shown in FIG. 5. [Phases] are notches, which are formed in the storage case [Phases] in correspondence with the number of timepiece sticks, corresponding to the rotatable positions of the timepiece sticks. [Phase] is a time scale, and the fold time from when the clock rod ■ is crimped to the main shaft ■ until a notification such as a buzzer, bell, chime lamp, etc. is emitted is externally provided on the outer periphery of the main shaft storage case [Phase]. @ indicates a lamp, which is installed at the top of the storage case αφ in FIG. 3, but it can be installed at any location.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the clock rod ■ is set to an appropriate scale @l.
By adjusting the VC and rotating the knob body (2), the tip (8) engages with the elastic material or irregularities on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft (4) and presses against the main shaft (4). ■ rotates together with the main shaft ■, and after a predetermined period of time, the timer rod ■ contacts and presses the flexible conductor [phase], and the timer rod ■
A large flexible conductor O rotates in the same direction and presses against a fixed continuous conductor [phase] to generate a bell, buzzer, chime,
A circuit such as a lamp is activated to notify the measurer of the passage of a predetermined time.

Furthermore, if the timepiece rod ■ and the main shaft ■ are left without being crimped, the timepiece rod ■ will continue to rotate together with the main shaft ■, and the timepiece rod ■ will be connected to the flexible conductor O and the fixed continuous conductor [phase]. The force that keeps pressing down? , the flexible conductor is made of a coil spring attached to the flexible conductor, so the flexible conductor deforms the timepiece while the timer is rotating.
It absorbs the pressing force of , and contacts and presses the fixed continuous conductor [phase], while the circuit such as the bell continues to make a ringing sound. However, by releasing the pressure bond between the clock rod ■ and the main shaft ■, the contact suppression between the flexible conductor [phase] and the clock rod ■ is released, and due to the restoring force of the coil spring, the flexible conductor 0 Return to Henkeisha. With this configuration, compared to installing independent switches according to the number of timepieces, the structure is simpler and cheaper, and the call system of the alarm system can be improved without destroying the switches. It is possible to continuously measure multiple different lengths of time.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the part B in FIG. 1, in which a flexible electric body (1) and a fixed continuous electric conductor (@) are thrown into a timer for medical clinical examination. In this embodiment, the fixed continuous electric body [phase] is formed by alternately forming a plurality of conductor parts @ and a plurality of elastic non-conductor parts @. The conductor part @ consists of the outer peripheral surface of a thin rod or plate made of stainless steel, steel, copper, etc. The elastic non-conductor part @ is made of vinyl, J-muth, etc. with a thickness of 0, 1 to 3 mm, on the outer circumferential surface of the conductor part @, at the intersection with the direction of rotation in which the clock rod ■ rotates by being crimped with the main shaft ■. It is coated with an insulating material, such as a vinyl tube. Therefore, unavoidable contact between the flexible conductor [phase] and the fixed continuous electric body ■ when there is no contact between the timekeeping rod ■ and the flexible continuous electric conductor part is prevented by the elastic nonconductor @. The circuits for bells, buzzers, chimes, lamps, etc. will not work properly.

Since this invention has the configuration and operation described above, when this invention is used to measure the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, the medical clinical test timer according to the invention is installed in front of the blood sedimentation table, and the timer corresponds to the number of the blood sedimentation rod stand to be measured. It is extremely easy to read because it uses a numbered timekeeping system ■.

The size of the device and the number of timer rods can be easily adjusted to match the blood sedimentation table, and the dimensions and spacing of the knobs of the timer rods can also be adjusted to dimensions that are easy to operate. Even when I'm busy, I don't have any accidents where I have to take measurements. In other words, the present invention enables continuous and reliable measurement over multiple periods of time with simple operations, has a simple configuration, and can be manufactured at low cost without taking up much space.
