一种自动化按诊装置的设计与实现

Design and implementation of an automatic palpation device

目的 研究一种自动化按诊装置,实现按诊的客观化、精细量化.方法 从使用安全、操作简便、手法模拟、多参数实时监测等方面考虑,研制自重加压法自动化按诊装置；并对其性能特点进行分析.结果 该装置主要由可编程控制器及其模数转换插件、机械定位装置、按压装置、力检测装置、手持式触摸屏等构成,由就诊者自主操作,能够采集按诊过程中的力、时间、距离等多项数据,并监测各级按压反应的按压力阈值,达到了预期效果.结论 该装置可用于适合部位的自动化按诊,特别是腧穴按压反应或软组织压痛的全面观测.

Objective To realize objectification and detailed quantification of palpation.Metbods A kind of automatic palpation device was developed to meet the needs of safeand easy operation,technique simulation,and multi-parameter monitoring in real time.Results This device mainly consisted of programmable controller and its analog-to-digital converter module,mechanical positioning device,pressing device,force testing device and hand-held touch screen,and it was designed to be operated by attenders independently.The device could collect multiple data including force,time and distance in the process of palpation,and monitor the force thresholds of pressing responses at all levels to achieve desired effects.Conclusion This device can be used in the automatic palpation for suitable body areas,especially in the comprehensive observation of acupoint-pressing responses or soft tissue tenderness.
