Device for automatically positioning radial artery
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device for automatically positioning a radial artery, and belongs to the technical field of medical instruments.
Background
Non-invasive blood pressure measurement, one of the most frequently used monitoring means in the medical industry, has been plagued by the problem that accurate detection or continuous detection is impossible. The most common non-invasive blood pressure measurement is the cuff method, but the method needs to inflate and deflate the cuff to measure the blood pressure, continuous measurement cannot be achieved, and short-term blood pressure changes are very important in many scenes. Therefore, a method for continuously and accurately detecting blood pressure is required.
In the human anatomy, the radial artery originates from the brachial artery bifurcation of the antecubital fossa, which extends distally at the anterior end of the forearm and is the major artery outside the forearm. The clinician takes a radial pulse at the radial artery, typically to assess heart rate and blood pressure. In the last two decades, the radial pulse wave measurement has been developed rapidly, and the various information presented by the radial pulse wave reflects the blood flow characteristics of the human vascular system to a great extent.
The existing radial artery pulse wave detection system needs to accurately locate the position of the radial artery by a nursing staff in advance. Once the position is not accurate enough or the system is out of position due to the movement of the body, the measurement results become very inaccurate. For this reason, it is necessary to design a device capable of automatically locating the radial artery position.

Detailed Description
In order to make the invention more comprehensible, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an apparatus for automatically locating a radial artery according to the present invention includes a fixing device 1, a movement module 2, a measurement module 3, and a control module 4. The motion module 2, the measurement module 3 and the control module 4 are arranged on a fixing device 1, the fixing device 1 is a fixing plate, and the device is integrally fixed at the radial artery of the wrist through the fixing plate. The control module 4 can control the movement module 2 carrying the measurement module 3 to move by reading the signal of the measurement module 3, so as to find the best position for measuring the radial artery.
The measuring module 3 comprises a pressure sensor and a speed sensor, the pressure sensor and the acceleration sensor are respectively used for testing the pressure and the jumping amplitude of the radial artery, and meanwhile, the measuring module 3 is provided with one or a combination of a laser diode, a near-infrared light-emitting diode and a visible light-emitting diode, so that the radial artery wave information can be fed back in time, and the radial artery position can be rapidly and automatically positioned.
The control module 4 is a circuit board carrying a signal processing module and a motor control module, wherein the signal input end of the signal processing module is connected with the measuring module 3, radial pulse wave signals are collected and then connected to the motor control module 4 through the signal processing module, and the output end of the motor control module 4 is connected with the motion module 2. The moving part of the moving module 2 is one or a combination of a direct current brush motor, a direct current brushless motor and a stepping motor, is arranged at a position perpendicular to the radial artery and parallel to the radial artery on the fixing device 1, and the moving module 2 drives the fixing device 1 to move between the relevant wrist arteries along two directions perpendicular to the radial artery and parallel to the radial artery.
The measuring module 3 monitors the radial artery wave signals in real time and transmits the signals to the signal processing module, and the signal processing module carries out filtering and calculation on the obtained radial artery signals. Whether the current position is the best position can be obtained through algorithm comparison. The closer the measurement module 3 is to the radial artery location, the higher the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal. Whether the measurement module 3 is in the optimal position can be obtained by filtering the signal and judging whether the amplitude is the highest value. If not, the control module 4 activates the motor control module and drives the motion module 2 to move in both directions perpendicular to the radial artery and parallel to the radial artery. Meanwhile, the measuring module 3 measures the radial artery wave signals in the movement process, whether the radial artery wave signals are in the optimal position or not is confirmed, and if the radial artery wave signals are not in the optimal position, the actions are repeated again, so that the device can track and keep the radial artery wave signals at the optimal position for measuring the radial artery in real time.
