Most conventional pads for defibrillators and defibrillators require manipulation by a professional physician or emergency personnel. However, due to the characteristics of patients requiring defibrillation operation, patients usually do not reside in hospitals and usually live in a normal life. In addition, when a portable defibrillator and a pad are used, it is difficult for the patient to operate the patient himself / herself, and there is a problem that a third party must operate the device. In addition, since the wet type gel must be attached to the chest, the pad could not always be attached to the chest, and there was a difficulty in quickly opening the chest in an emergency. Also, there is a problem that the defibrillator that automatically detects the heartbeat and applies an electric shock requires a human implantable operation.

In order to solve the problems of the related art, a gel injection hole pad for a defibrillator according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is configured to press a specific button attached to a direct vest or clothes when an emergency occurs, or when an electrocardiogram sensor detects an abnormality of heartbeat, So that self-control can be realized.

Hereinafter, a gel injection hole pad for a defibrillator will be specifically described in the embodiment of the present invention.

1 is a conceptual view illustrating a gel injection hole pad for a defibrillator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a gel injection hole pad for a defibrillator includes an electrode pad 100, a separation plate 200, a gel storage unit 300, and a first motor 400, A gel insertion hole 210 passing through the separation plate, a toothed plate 220 at one end and a gel storage part 300 are formed in the inner space of the electrode pad hole 110, Gel 310, and the first motor 400 may include gears 410 coupled to the toothed bearings.

The gel injection hole pad for a defibrillator is located between the clothes and the chest. When an emergency occurs, the conductive gel 310 contained in the gel storage part 300 is injected to receive current from the defibrillation part included in the defibrillator, It can be implemented to give stimulation.

The first motor 400 may include a gear 410 which is coupled to a toothed gear 220 that can be formed at one end of the separating plate 200 and is operated by pressing a specific button when an emergency occurs, (200) can be moved. Or the electrocardiogram sensor, it is determined that an abnormality has occurred in the heart, the separator 200 can be moved while the gear 410 included in the coaxial axis of the first motor 400 rotates. The gear 410 of the first motor 400 and the toothed gear 220 at one end of the separation plate 200 are structured to convert the rotational motion into linear motion and may be the same as the combination of the pinion and the rack have. As the gear 410 is rotated, the toothed gear 220 engaged with the gear 410 is moved so that the electrode pad hole 110 and the gel insertion hole 210 are aligned with each other, and the two holes can be penetrated.

1, it can be seen that the electrode pad hole 110 and the gel insertion hole 210 are aligned and connected together as one hole. When the separator 200 is moved by the motor 400 to align the electrode pad hole 110 and the gel insertion hole 210, the conductive gel 310 in the gel storage part 300 is sprayed to the outside, Lt; / RTI > An electric signal is generated after the separation plate 200 is moved so that the electrode pad hole 110 and the gel insertion hole 210 are aligned and the conductive gel 310 is sprayed to the outside, An electric signal can be transmitted to the user's heart through the conductive gel 310 sprayed to the outside.

Alternatively, the gear 410 engaged with the toothed gear 220 at one end of the separation plate 200 may be directly rotated by the user instead of the first motor 400. To this end, an operating unit for rotating the gear 410 may be provided at an external position.

The defibrillation part is included in the defibrillator and can generate an electrical signal when necessary for defibrillation operation and can be driven based on the battery.

A concrete operation method of the gel injection hole pad according to the embodiment of the present invention is as follows. For example, when an abnormality occurs in the patient's body, the patient can press a specific button or perform an operation to directly move the position of the separating plate 200. [ Or the electrocardiogram sensor, it is determined that an abnormality has occurred in the heart as a result of the sensing of the electrocardiogram sensor, the first motor is automatically operated to move the position of the separation plate 200 and the electrode pad hole 110 and the gel insertion The hole 210 can be aligned.

Since the gel storage part 300 is provided on one side of the gel insertion hole 210 and the electrode pad 100 is worn to be closely attached to the chest, when the electrode pad hole 110 and the gel insertion hole 210 are aligned, The conductive gel 310 is injected into the chest to transmit an electric signal generated for the defibrillation operation to the heart of the patient through the electrode pad 100 and the conductive gel 310 sprayed on the chest.

2 is a rear view illustrating a gel injection hole pad according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The electrode pad 100 may include an electrode pad hole 110 and the number of the electrode pad holes 110 and the size of the hole are not limited. In addition, a separator plate contacting the electrode pad 100 may be included, and the separator plate may include a toothed receiver 220 at one end thereof. Since the gear 410 engaged with the toothed gear 220 is connected to the coaxial axis of the first motor 400, the gear 410 rotates as the first motor 400 operates and the separator can be moved.

3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method of applying pressure to a gel storage unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The conductive gel may be stored in the inner space of the gel storage part 300 and the electrode pads of the electrode pad 100 and the gel insertion holes of the separation plate 200 are aligned with each other, A pressure can be applied to the substrate 300.

The second motor 510 may further include a second motor 510 for applying pressure to the gel storage part 300. The conductive gel of the gel storage part 300 may be inserted into the electrode pad hole and the gel insertion part 300, Holes to the outside.

Referring to the upper part of FIG. 3, a compression plate 500 for pressing the gel storage part 300 may be formed to apply pressure to the entire gel storage part 300. The gel injection hole pad may further include a second motor 510 or a compressed air supply unit 520 to transmit the pressing force to the pressing plate 500. The pressing plate 500 receiving the power transmits the pressing force to the gel storing unit 300 ) Can be squeezed. The pressure of the compressed air delivered from the second motor 510 or the compressed air delivered through the compressed air supply unit 520 is provided on one side of the compression plate 500 so that the compression plate 500 is connected to the gel storage unit 300, .

3, compressed air is supplied into the gel storage part 300 so that the conductive gel in the gel storage part 300 can be injected outside through the hole. The gel storage unit 300 may be made of a rigid material and the compressed air delivered into the gel storage unit 300 does not escape to the outside through the electrode pad holes and the gel insertion holes, The gel storage part 300 may be provided separately from the compressed air area where the compressed air is supplied and the gel area where the conductive gel is stored, so as to provide a pushing force. The compressed air area is on the opposite side of the gel insertion hole, and a membrane composed of a flexible material may be spherical between the compressed air area and the gel area. When compressed air is provided inside the gel storage part 300 of a limited size, the gel area is reduced and the conductive gel inside the gel area can be ejected to the outside.

4 is a conceptual view showing a film film formed on an electrode pad hole according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The film 111 may be formed in the electrode pad hole 110 or the gel insertion hole 210 and may be damaged by the pressure transferred from the second motor to open the hole. If the film film 111 is formed in the gel insertion hole 210, it may be more easily contained in the electrode pad hole 110 since it may be easily damaged by the pressure that may be generated in the normal life.

In addition, the gel storage part 300 may further include a vinyl film wrapping a conductive gel. The film 111 and the gel vinyl film formed in the hole may prevent gelation of the conductive gel and leakage of the gel, .

The conductive gel 310 is contained in the gel storage part 300. When the electrode pad hole 110 and the gel insertion hole 210 are matched with each other, the conductive gel is sprayed to the outside to transmit an electric signal by the defibrillation part to the heart . The conductive gel 310 may be surrounded by a film of a flexible material such as vinyl. If the pressure is applied to the gel storage part 300 after the electrode pad hole 110 and the gel insertion hole 210 are aligned with each other, the vinyl film surrounding the conductive gel 310 may be torn and sprayed to the outside. The positions of the electrode pad holes 110 and the gel insertion holes 210 are shifted from each other so that the conductive gel 310 is hardly ejected to the outside but the conductive gel 310 The conductive gel 310 may be formed of a flexible material.

5 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of a gel injection hole pad for a defibrillator according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5, a signal regarding the movement of the separator is received (step S100).

When the pressure applied to the button provided on the outside of the pad for the defibrillator is convenient for the user to access or the result measured by a separate sensing device (for example, an electrocardiogram measuring device) is not within the normal range, Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > a < / RTI > conductive gel. If a signal regarding the movement of the separator is received, the separator of the gel injection hole pad is moved so that the electrode pad hole and the gel insertion hole of the separator plate can be aligned with each other.

The electrode pad hole of the electrode pad and the gel insertion hole are aligned (Step S200).

When a signal relating to the movement of the separation plate is received, the first motor coupled to one end of the separation plate is driven to move the separation plate. As described above, the toothed gear at one end of the separator plate and the gear connected to the first motor coaxial shaft may be engaged, and the gear may be rotated and the separator plate may be moved as the first motor is driven.

When the separator plate is moved and the electrode pad hole and the gel insertion hole are aligned, the gel storage portion and the outside can be connected. In order to prevent the outflow of the conductive gel, the conductive gel inside the gel reservoir may be surrounded by a broken vinyl film when the pressure is applied.

The conductive gel is sprayed to the outside (step S300).

When the position of the electrode pad hole and the gel insertion hole are matched, pressure can be applied to the gel storage part by the operation of the second motor, and the conductive gel inside the gel storage part can be sprayed to the outside and applied to the chest part of the patient .

And transmits an electric signal (step S400).

When the conductive gel is sprayed to the outside and applied to the patient's chest, the electric signal generated by the defibrillation defibrillator can be transmitted to the patient's heart through the conductive gel and the electrode pad sprayed to the outside.
