{Toy for practicing cardiopulmonary resuscitation}

The present invention relates to a device for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) practice, and more particularly, to a CPR exercise toy that allows a CPR to be trained while attracting interest to a child.

In many countries including Korea, awareness of the necessity of education related to CPR is increasing. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation refers to first aid procedures involving artificial respiration and cardiac compression. Compression and respiration are very important steps in CPR. It is important that CPR is performed within a short period of time after the occurrence of an emergency in a real situation where a cardiac arrest patient occurs.

In recent years, there have been frequent media reports of life-threatening cases caused by CPR or losing life that could not be resolved by CPR in a timely manner. Therefore, in developed countries, CPR is spreading widely to general people such as students and workers.

In addition, various communicators and equipment are being developed to promote CPR. Particularly, a CPR exercise apparatus such as a training mannequin which can directly practice CPR using a manikin is being launched. These CPR exercises are designed to be very similar to the human body in order to improve CPR practice, and various devices are installed to improve the CPR practice.

However, such a CPR exercise device is equipped with a function of sensing pressure or respiration while providing a mannequin which provides feedback specific to the human body, and thus has a significant cost of production and is widely used for educational purposes. Also, there is a problem that the basic education for CPR is made mainly for adults, and the practice for CPR is difficult to be distributed to students or children in the lower grades.

Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a reference view illustrating an entire structure of a CPR exercise toy according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment for explaining the CPR exercise toy shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 2, the CPR exercise toy includes a body frame 100, a plate 110, a switch 120, a first output unit 130, a second output unit 140, an actuator 150, 160, a controller 170, and a third output 180.

The body frame 100 may include a head frame, a trunk frame, an arm frame, and a leg frame corresponding to a human body structure.

3 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the body frame 100 shown in Fig. 3, the body frame 100 may include a head frame 101, a trunk frame 102, an arm frame 103, and a leg frame 104. The head frame 101, the trunk frame 102, the arm frame 103, and the leg frame 104 can be formed using the assembling blocks. For example, the assembling blocks may form respective frames constituting the human body by a single structure, or a plurality of assembling blocks may be combined to form the frames. To this end, the assembling blocks may include a structure capable of mutual engagement and disengagement by means of insertion or threading. The shapes of the frames constituting the human body frame 100 may be variously modified by the assembling blocks and may be similar to those of the organs constituting the human body.

The plate 110 is coupled to an upper portion of the body frame 102 of the body frame 100 and moves up and down by external pressure (for example, a pressure to press the plate 110 with a user's hand in accordance with the operation of CPR) Shaped member. The plate 110 preferably has a size to accommodate external pressure provided by the user, e.g., about the size of the user's palm. However, the cross-sectional size of the plate 110 can be variously changed according to the age of the user and the magnitude of external pressure.

4 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the plate 110 and switch 120 shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 4, the plate 110 may include a rectangular cross-sectional shape. The switches 120 may be disposed one around the four vertexes of the plate 110 having the rectangular cross-sectional shape. The cross-sectional structure of the plate 110 shown in FIG. 4 is merely an example, and the cross-section of the plate 110 can be variously changed into a circle, an ellipse, a polygon (for example, a triangle, a pentagon, Do.

The switch 120 is positioned at the lower end of the plate 110 and performs on-switching and off-switching operations. The switch 120 transfers signals to the controller 170 in response to on-switching and off-switching. To this end, the switch 120 and the controller 170 are electrically connected.

Referring to FIG. 4, the switch 120 may be positioned between the lower end of the plate 110 and the upper end of the body frame 102. The switch 120 may be at least one or more than four of the plate 110 having a rectangular cross section, for example, in the case where the plate 110 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, And one each around the vertex of the dog. However, the number and position of the switches 120 shown in FIG. 4 are merely exemplary, and the number and arrangement of the switches 120 may vary according to the shape of the plate 110. Accordingly, the switch 120 may be additionally disposed at a central portion of the plate 110, or may be disposed at only a part of the vertexes of the polygonal plate 110. [

The switch 120 may include an elastic member which is contracted by an external pressure caused by the user's CPR and is automatically restored by the removal of the external pressure. As such a switch 120, a spring member, a pogo pin, or the like can be exemplified.

The first output unit 130 outputs a first alarm signal under the control of the controller 170. Here, the first alarm signal may include at least one of an acoustic signal and an optical signal. To this end, the first output 130 is electrically connected to the controller 170.

The first output unit 130 may output a first alarm signal to indicate that the compression operation for CPR is valid when the switch 120 is on-switched. The first output unit 130 may output the first alarm signal under the control of the controller 170 only when a plurality of switches are all turned on when all of the switches 120 are present. When only a part of the plurality of switches is on-switched, it is determined that the compression operation for CPR is not effective. In this case, the first output unit 130 may not output the first alarm signal.

The second output unit 140 outputs a second alarm signal under the control of the controller 170. Here, the second alarm signal may include at least one of an acoustic signal and an optical signal. To this end, the second output unit 140 is electrically connected to the controller 170.

The second output unit 140 may output a second alarm signal when the on-switching period of the switch 120 is periodically repeated within a predetermined time range. For example, if the user determines that the on-switching period of the switch 120 is within a predetermined constant period range (for example, 0.5 seconds to 1 second) by applying pressure to the plate 110 at regular intervals, The output unit 140 may output a second alarm signal to indicate that the period of the pressing operation for cardiopulmonary resuscitation is valid.

5 is a reference view illustrating the second output unit 140 shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 5, a second output unit 140 corresponding to an eye shape (see FIG. 4) of the head frame 101 of the body frame 100 may be exemplified. The second output unit 140 according to FIG. 5 can output an optical signal from the eye under the control of the controller 170.

The actuator 150 is a module for operating at least one frame of the human body frame 100. As the actuator 150, a motor can be exemplified. The motor may be a direct current type or alternating current type motor, and may include a rotary motor, a linear motor, or the like depending on the direction of operation.

The actuator 150 may operate under the control of the controller 170 by receiving power supplied from the power supply 160. That is, the actuator 150 can be driven by the supplied power source to operate at least one of the head frame 101, the body frame 102, the arm frame 103, and the leg frame 104.

6A is a perspective view of one embodiment for explaining the actuator 150 shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 6B is a perspective view showing a state where two actuators 150 shown in FIG. 6A are coupled to the arm frame 103 of the body frame 100 Fig.

Referring to FIG. 6B, the two actuators 150 are aligned and coupled, and the two actuators 150 are respectively coupled to the arm frame 103 and the connection block CB. Here, the connection block CB may include an insertion member, a screw member, or the like that can be attached to and detached from the actuator 150 and the arm frame 103, respectively. Here, the insertion member may include an insertion groove or an insertion projection, and the screw member may include a bolt or a nut. However, the connecting block CB shown in FIG. 6B is merely an example, and may include various assembling blocks for connecting the actuator 150 and the arm frame 103. FIG. 6B illustrates that the actuator 150 is connected to the arm frame 103. The actuator 150 includes a head frame 101, a body frame 102, Or the leg frame 104, or may be connected to all of these frames.

The power supply unit 160 supplies power to the first output unit 130, the second output unit 140, the third output unit 180, and the controller 170. The power supply unit 160 may supply power for driving the actuator 150 to the actuator 150 through the controller 170 under the control of the controller 170. [ To this end, the power supply unit 160 is electrically connected to the controller 170. The power supply unit 160 may be coupled to one side of the body frame 100. For example, the power supply unit 160 may be disposed between the leg frames 104.

The power supply unit 160 may include a power supply battery. FIG. 7 is a reference view illustrating the power supply unit 160 shown in FIG. Referring to FIG. 7, the power supply unit 160 shows a power supply battery, but this is merely an example. The power source unit 160 may be a disposable battery or a rechargeable battery.

The controller 170 determines whether the first output portion 130 is in the OFF state when the switch 120 is on-switching (i.e., when the plate 110 is moved downward by the pressure of the user and the switch 120 is pressed) 1 alarm signal, and controls the second output unit 140 to output the second alarm signal when the on-switching period of the switch 120 is within a predetermined time range. In addition, the controller 170 controls the output of the third output section 180. To this end, the controller 170 is electrically connected to the switch 120, the first output 130, the second output 140, and the third output 180. 8 is a reference diagram illustrating the controller 170 shown in FIG.

When the switch 120 is switched on as the plate 110 is moved downward by the pressure of the hand according to the CPR of the user, the controller 170 sets the first alarm signal at the first output 130 And controls the first output unit 130 to be output. At this time, when the plurality of switches 120 are provided, the controller 170 may control the first alarm signal of the first output unit 130 to be output only when all of the plurality of switches are on-switching. Accordingly, the first output unit 130 outputs a sound signal or an optical signal as the first alarm signal.

Further, the controller 170 checks whether the on-switching period of the switch corresponds to a certain time range (for example, 0.5 second to 1 second). When the user determines that the on-switching cycle of the switch 120 is within a certain period of time by applying pressure to the plate 110 at a predetermined period, the controller 170 causes the second output unit 140 to output the second alarm signal . Accordingly, the second output unit 140 outputs a sound signal or an optical signal as the second alarm signal.

The controller 170 determines whether or not at least one of the human frames 100 is in a state where the first condition that the switch 120 is on-switched and the second switching period of the switch 120 are within a certain time range And controls the driving of the actuator 150 for one frame operation. At this time, the controller 170 can control the actuator 150 to be driven only when the number of times that the first condition and the second condition are satisfied is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. Information on the threshold value is stored in advance in the memory in the controller 170. [ For example, when the threshold value is set to 10, the controller 170 can control the actuator 150 to be driven when the number of times that the first condition and the second condition are satisfied is 10 or more. The actuator 150 can operate any one or more frames of the human body frame 100 in accordance with the drive control signal of the controller 170. [

The third output unit 180 indicates the number of times that the first condition that the switch 120 is on-switched and the second-condition that the on-switching cycle of the switch 120 are all within the predetermined time range. For example, the third output unit 180 may include a flexible numeric display unit in which seven LEDs (light emitting diodes) are used to form a single number. FIG. 9 is a reference diagram illustrating the third output unit 180 shown in FIG. The third output unit 180 may be disposed on one side of the body frame 100 and may be disposed on the leg frame 104, for example.

The controller 170 controls the third output unit 180 to display the number of times that both the first condition and the second condition are satisfied and under the control of the controller 170 the third output unit 180 outputs the first And the number of times that both the condition and the second condition are satisfied.

FIGS. 10A and 10B are reference views illustrating an operation process of the CPR exercise toy according to the present invention. FIG. 10A illustrates a state in which the plate 110 moves in the vertical direction according to an operation of the CPR, and FIG. 10B illustrates a process of operating an arm frame constituting a human body frame according to movement of the plate 110. FIG.

As shown in Fig. 10A, as the user pushes the plate 110 downward (i.e., in the direction of the arrow), the plate 110 moves in the downward direction, so that the switch 120 is on- 1 condition. The actuator 150 is driven under the control of the controller 170 when the user's operation is repeatedly performed at regular intervals to satisfy the second condition. 10B, the arm frame 103 connected to the actuator 150 is rotated, and the body frame 102 of the toys for CPR exercises by the rotation of the arm frame 103, And stands with the frame 101. The trunk frame 102 is coupled to the leg frame 104 by a connecting block (not shown) for hinge connection. The trunk frame 102 is connected to the leg frame 104 by a hinged connection block The body can be erected by relative rotation.

Therefore, by repeating the operation of the user corresponding to the CPR, that is, the operation of pressing the plate 110 at a constant pressure and period, by moving the CPR exercise toy, the user can enjoy an interest in exercises for CPR And enable to know precisely the behavior of CPR through play.
