Description

Apparatus and method for simulating pulse

The present invention relates to a pulse wave simulating apparatus and method. More specifically, the present invention relates to a pulse wave simulation apparatus and method for reproducing pulse waves generated in the human body so that it is possible to practice pulsation, which is one of methods for diagnosing a patient's condition in oriental medicine.

Generally, the invasive method of inserting a measuring device such as a sensor inside the patient's body to measure the bio-signal for identifying the patient's condition causes a discomfort to the patient and a problem that involves risks. There is a growing demand for non-invasive diagnostic methods that can identify patients' condition.

According to these trends, traditional Chinese medicine methods using non-invasive diagnostic methods have been in the spotlight, and the Chinese medical methods have largely been divided into four groups: ruin, questionnaire, questionnaire, and laundering. Among them, pulsation is the most well-known method of the method of sensing the pulsation of blood pulse waves and inferring the patient's condition and disease.

Pulsating is based on the principle of oriental medicine that identifies the energy imbalance between books as the cause of disease occurrence, and then identifies the energy status of each book by confirming the energy of one book and the lack of energy. Means a diagnostic method that can identify the abnormal state.

In the case of the above-mentioned pulsation, the patient's condition is judged by detecting a vein of three parts, commonly referred to as chon, chin, and chuck. With the middle finger on the position of 'tube' and the second and fourth fingers side by side, the wrist side is 'chon' based on the position of 'tube' and the elbow side 'chuck'.

In addition, there are about 28 kinds of pulses, which are diagnostic criteria for pulses, and the pulses that are mainly used for pulses include swelling, saliva, limbs, scars, scars, and threads.

In the case of the middle part and the acupuncture, it is possible to distinguish between catching a pulse (part) and catching only by pressing the wrist tightly (acupuncture). The speed at which the Mac runs when you breathe, for example, you can classify it as if the Mac runs six times (Ji) and three times (Sach) when the patient breathes. The vein that is judged can be classified into a narrow or weak mac without force (huh) and a wide, strong, or strong mac (sil).

As described above, in the case of pulsation, it is highly dependent on the experience of the diagnoser who performs the pulsation, rather than being clearly determined numerically, and therefore, to increase the accuracy of the pulsation, the experienced experience of the diagnoser through long-term practice or diagnosis is required.

Therefore, various types of pulse wave reproducing apparatuses have been developed for the pulse wave practice. However, most of the pulse wave reproducing apparatuses reproduce the pulses of one part. There was a problem that was not suitable for the practice of pulsation, which was necessary to diagnose the condition of the patient after simultaneously identifying the veins of the site.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems and similar to the actual pulse, it is possible to independently reproduce the pulse wave detected in each of the three parts of the village, tube, and chuck independently pulse wave simulation that can be performed more effective pulse practice It is an object to provide an apparatus and method.

The pulse wave simulation apparatus according to the present invention for achieving the above object is operated by a drive signal generated in response to the input of the pulse wave information generated by the user input or the pre-stored pulse wave information, and the pulse wave according to the drive signal A pulse wave generator for generating vibrations for simulating; And a contact portion provided in a form surrounding the pulse wave generating unit and transmitting a vibration generated from the pulse wave generating unit to each finger side which presses a plurality of upper predetermined points for the pulse training.

In addition, the pulse wave simulating method according to the present invention is a pulse wave simulating method of a pulse wave simulating apparatus including a pulse wave generating unit, (a) pulse wave generated by a user's input or pre-stored for simulating pulse wave; Generating and outputting a driving signal according to the pulse wave information after receiving information; (b) adjusting the generation position of vibration for simulating the pulse wave by driving the pulse wave generating part upward or downward according to the driving signal; And (c) generating a vibration for simulating the pulse wave by vertically reciprocating the pulse wave generator by the number and intensity according to the driving signal.

According to the present invention, it is possible to independently reproduce the pulses such as the parts, needles, limbs, sacks, teeth, and threads detected at the three sites of the village, the tube, and the chuck where the actual pulse is made. It is possible to perform efficiently.
