This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2019113247823, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Dec. 20, 2019 and entitled “AIRBAG, BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT APPARATUS, AND BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT METHOD”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The embodiments relate to the field of blood pressure measurement technologies, an airbag, a blood pressure measurement apparatus, and a blood pressure measurement method.
As living standard continuously improves, people pay more attention to their own health. Blood pressure, as a main physiological indicator of a human body, is also increasingly valued by people. Currently, product forms of sphygmomanometers on the market are mainly an upper-arm electronic sphygmomanometer and a wrist electronic sphygmomanometer. The two types of sphygmomanometers can perform single blood pressure measurement, but cannot perform dynamic blood pressure monitoring, and especially, blood pressure monitoring at night is difficult to perform. Therefore, miniaturization and wearableness of a sphygmomanometer become a trend, and a blood pressure watch emerges accordingly.
The blood pressure watch usually includes a watch core, a watch strap, an airbag, an air pump, and a barometric pressure sensor. Both the airbag and the watch strap may be sleeved on a wrist. Both the air pump and the barometric pressure sensor are disposed in the watch core. The air pump is configured to inflate the airbag. The barometric pressure sensor is configured to collect a pressure signal in the airbag to obtain a pulse wave signal, to implement blood pressure measurement.
However, a conventional blood pressure watch has different blood pressure measurement accuracy for different people. This is mainly reflected in different measurement accuracy for people with different wrist circumferences and causes difficulty to cover a wider range of users.

The fastener is disposed to limit the airbag to some extent. This ensures that the air pump and the barometric pressure sensor are respectively aligned with the two air holes, and facilitates inflation, deflation, extraction, and pressure detection of the airbag. In addition, during movement of the airbag, the air holes and the positioning holes are stuck, to remind a user that the airbag is in a location for fixing.

In this way, wrists with different wrist circumferences correspond to pressurized areas with different lengths, and a proper length ratio of a wrist circumference to the pressurized area is ensured, to improve blood pressure measurement accuracy.
To make the problem that needs to be resolved, solutions, and benefits clearer and more comprehensible, the following further describes the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

The embodiments relate to an airbag, a blood pressure measurement apparatus, and a blood pressure measurement method. The airbag can be sleeved on a wrist of a human and can be inflated to press radial and ulnar arteries on the wrist of the human, so as to obtain a pulse wave signal. The blood pressure measurement apparatus may be worn on the wrist of the human and can measure blood pressure of the human in real time, to implement dynamic blood pressure monitoring and blood pressure monitoring at night. The blood pressure measurement method is a method for measuring human blood pressure by using the foregoing blood pressure measurement apparatus.
The following briefly describes concepts in the embodiments above.
Blood pressure: Side pressure of blood on a blood vessel wall in a blood vessel. High or low blood pressure affects human health.
Radial artery: A lower part of the radial artery is covered only by the skin and fascia and is a site to palpate the pulse.
Styloid process of ulna: (styloid process of ulna), a Human anatomy term, is a downward tapered prominence on a posteromedial side at the distal end of the ulna, and is palpable on the body surface.
Diastolic pressure: When the human heart relaxes, the arterial blood vessels elastically retract, a pressure generated is called diastolic pressure, also called lower pressure.
Systolic pressure: When the human heart contracts, the pressure in the arteries increases. In the middle of the contraction, the pressure in the arteries is the highest. In this case, the pressure of the blood on the inner wall of the blood vessel is called systolic pressure, also called high pressure.
According to experiments, a length of the airbag is a fixed value, and a coverage range of wrist circumferences of different people is between 130 mm and 220 mm. A span of the wrist circumference is relatively large, and the airbag of a single length cannot cover all people. Experiments show that a ratio of an airbag length to a wrist circumference directly affects stability of collecting a pulse wave signal feature and blood pressure measurement accuracy. If the ratio exceeds 1, that is, when the airbag length is greater than a wrist circumference of a measured person, the airbag inevitably overlaps on a wrist of the measured person. This seriously affects expansion of the airbag and obtaining of a pulse wave signal, and even an effective pulse wave signal cannot be obtained. If the ratio is small, that is, if the airbag length is insufficient to cover an effective part for obtaining the pulse wave signal, peak pressure of the obtained pulse wave signal shifts rightwards, and measured blood pressure is relatively high. In addition, a shift of peak pressure of the pulse wave signal causes instability of a pulse wave signal feature, and further reduces blood pressure measurement accuracy.

That each groove 101 is configured to divide the airbag 10 into a pressurized area 110 and a non-pressurized area 115 along the length direction of the airbag 10 when an external structure is pressed against the groove 101 means that each of the plurality of grooves 101 may be pressed by the external structure, but only one groove 101 is pressed at a time. When the external structure is pressed against the groove 101, the upper surface layer and the lower surface layer tightly abut against each other at a location of the groove 101. An area on one side of the groove 101 is set as the pressurized area 110, and an area on the other side of the groove 101 is set as the non-pressurized area 115. The left side in
The groove 101 penetrates the airbag 10 along the width direction of the airbag 10. When the external structure is fully pressed against the groove 101 along the width direction of the airbag 10, the pressurized area 110 and the non-pressurized area 115 can be fully isolated at least below an atmospheric pressure difference 300 mm Hg. When the atmospheric pressure is less than 300 mm Hg, air in the pressurized area 110 cannot enter the non-pressurized area 115. This ensures sealing of the pressurized area 110 and improves blood pressure measurement accuracy.
Two air holes 102 are distributed between every two adjacent grooves 101. In this way, when any groove 101 is pressed, the pressurized area 110 has at least two air holes 102. The two air holes 102 are respectively configured to communicate with an air pump 40 and the barometric pressure sensor 50. The air pump 40 is configured to inflate the pressurized area 110, so that the pressurized area 110 can expand to press the radial and ulnar arteries. The barometric pressure sensor 50 is configured to connect to the pressurized area 110 to collect the barometric pressure signal in the pressurized area 110 in real time, to obtain a pulse wave signal and implement blood pressure measurement. Additionally, in another embodiment, when the barometric pressure sensor 50 is integrated into the air pump 40, one air hole 102 may alternatively be distributed between every two adjacent grooves 101.
The blocking part 103 initially blocks the air hole 102, to seal the air hole 102 and prevent air leakage. When a first air nozzle 401 of the air pump 40 or a second air nozzle 501 of the barometric pressure sensor 50 presses against the blocking part 103, the blocking part 103 opens the air hole 102, the air pump 40 may inflate the pressurized area 110 through the air hole 102, and the barometric pressure sensor 50 may collect the barometric pressure signal in the pressurized area 110 through the air hole 102.
According to the airbag 10 provided in this embodiment, the plurality of grooves 101 are distributed in the length direction of the airbag, and each groove 101 is configured to divide the airbag 10 into the pressurized area 110 and the non-pressurized area 115 along the length direction of the groove 101 when the external structure is pressed against the groove 101. In this way, the external structure may be pressed against a groove 101 at a different location, to adjust a length of the pressurized area 110, so as to adjust ratios of wrist circumferences of different people to the length of the pressurized area 110 to proper ratios. This improves blood pressure signal collection stability and blood pressure measurement accuracy. In addition, there is no need to design airbags 10 with different lengths for people with different wrist circumferences. This reduces costs of the airbag 10 and a blood pressure measurement apparatus. When a wrist circumference of a user changes, there is no need to replace the airbag 10 and the blood pressure measurement apparatus. This provides good experience and better blood pressure measurement accuracy for the user.
In an embodiment, the airbag 10 may be made of an elastic material such as silica gel, polyvinyl chloride, or polyurethane elastomer rubber.

According to statistics, wrist circumferences of different people range from 130 mm to 220 mm .That is, the minimum wrist circumference is 130 mm, and the maximum wrist circumference is 220 mm. Therefore, in this embodiment, a length of the base section 104 is set to 130 mm, a length of the adjustable section 105 is set to 90 mm, seven grooves 101 are evenly distributed on the adjustable section 105, and a distance between two adjacent grooves 101 is 15 mm. In this way, not only wrist circumference values within a range of 130 mm to 220 mm can be covered, but also a scale exists at every 15 mm between 130 mm and 220 mm. That is, a length adjustment deviation is about 7.5. mm. The length of the airbag 10 in this embodiment is set to be able to wrap around the wrist. If there is a 7.5 mm deviation, it occurs on the back of the wrist, and does not affect measurement accuracy. This ensures measurement accuracy of different wrist circumferences. It can be understood that, in another embodiment, lengths of the base section 104 and the adjustable section 105 may be properly adjusted based on an actual application requirement, and a distance between two adjacent grooves 101 may also be properly adjusted. For example, a length of the base section is any value from 120 mm to 140 mm; a length of the adjustable section 105 is any value from 90 mm to 180 mm; 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10 grooves 101 are evenly distributed on the adjustable section 105. This is not limited herein.

The blocking part 103 may be made of hard plastic or hard rubber. In this way, when the airbag 10 is inflated and expands under pressure, the blocking part 103 does not deform. This can ensure that air in the airbag 10 does not leak out from the corresponding air hole 102, to ensure air tightness of the airbag 10.
Based on a same application concept, an embodiment further provides a blood pressure measurement apparatus. As shown in
In use, the cavity 20 is first fixed on the back of the wrist, then the free end 114 of the airbag 10 is drawn out of the cavity 20, and the free end 114 is pulled from the back of the wrist to pass one side, the front, and the other side of the wrist in sequence, so that the airbag 10 wraps around the wrist, and the free end 114 is fixed on the back of the wrist from the other side. Then, the pressing part 30 is driven to press against a corresponding groove 101 on the back of the wrist, to divide the airbag 10 into the pressurized area 110 and the non-pressurized area 115. The pressing part 30 is set at a location, so that the pressurized area 110 can completely cover the front and the two sides of the wrist. Finally, the air pump 40 inflates the pressurized area 110, and the barometric pressure sensor 50 collects a pressure signal in the pressurized area 110 in real time to obtain a pulse wave signal. When the blood pressure measurement apparatus is a blood pressure watch, because the cavity 20 is disposed on a watch core, when the blood pressure watch is worn on the wrist, the cavity 20 is fixed on the back of the wrist, and the free end 114 may also be fixed by pressing by a watch strap; or a fastener such as a hook may be disposed on the free end 114 to fix the free end on the watch core.
According to the blood pressure measurement apparatus provided in this embodiment, the pressing part 30, the air pump 40, and the barometric pressure sensor 50 are disposed. In this way, the pressing part 30 may be pressed against a groove 101 at a different location on the airbag 10, to divide the airbag 10 into the pressurized area 110 and the non-pressurized area 115 and adjust a length of the pressurized area 110, so as to adjust ratios of wrist circumferences of different people to the length of the pressurized area 110 to proper ratios for measurement. This improves blood pressure signal collection stability and blood pressure measurement accuracy. In addition, the cavity 20 is disposed, so that the airbag 10 can be accommodated in the cavity 20 when the airbag 10 is not used, to prevent the airbag 10 from being damaged. In addition, when the blood pressure measurement apparatus is a blood pressure watch, after the airbag 10 is accommodated in the cavity 20, the blood pressure watch can be used and comfortably worn as an ordinary watch.

The pressing part 30 is connected to a second driving part 120, and the second driving part 120 is configured to drive the pressing part 30 to move from top to bottom, so that the pressing part 30 is pressed against the groove 101. In addition, after the airbag 10 is accommodated in the accommodating part 201, the accommodating part 201 may be further isolated from the outside, to prevent the airbag 10 from getting out of the accommodating part 201.

Based on a same application concept, an embodiment further provides a blood pressure measurement method. Blood pressure measurement is performed by using the foregoing blood pressure measurement apparatus, and the method includes the following steps.
The gate of the accommodating part 201 is opened.
When the airbag 10 is not used, the entire airbag 10 is wound around the fastener 70, the free end 114 of the airbag 10 stays on the fastener 70, the gate in the accommodating part 201 is closed by using the pressing part 30, and the pressing part 30 presses the free end 114 of the airbag 10, so that the free end 114 of the airbag 10 is fixed on the fastener 70. When the user wants to measure blood pressure, the pressing part 30 needs to be lifted, so that the user draws the airbag 10 out of the accommodating part 201 by hand.
The free end 114 of the airbag 10 is drawn out, and the free end 114 is pulled based on the wrist circumference until the airbag covers the styloid process of ulna on the outer side of the wrist. A hook may be disposed at the free end 114 to fix the free end 114 on the watch core 140, or the free end 114 may be fixed by pressing the free end 114 by the watch strap 150.
Based on an experimental conclusion of a ratio of the length of the airbag 10 to the user's measured wrist circumference, an optimal ratio is between 0.8 and 0.85. That is, the airbag 10 needs to cover the front and the two sides of the wrist. In addition, a start location of the pressurized area 110 is located on the back of the wrist (the gate of the cavity 20 is a boundary between the pressurized area 110 and the non-pressurized area 115, and the gate is located in the watch core on the back of the wrist). Therefore, the tail of the pressurized area 110 of the airbag 10 should reach the styloid process of ulna of the wrist of the user. In this way, the pressurized area 110 of the airbag 10 can cover the front and the two sides of the wrist, so that a ratio of the length the pressurized area 110 to a wrist circumference reaches a proper ratio range. This ensures accuracy and stability of a pulse wave signal obtained by the barometric pressure sensor 50 during blood pressure measurement, to ensure blood pressure measurement accuracy.
The lifting platform 80 is driven to lift, so that the first air nozzle 401 of the air pump 40 and the second air nozzle 501 of the barometric pressure sensor 50 are inserted into corresponding air holes 102.
In this embodiment, the first surface 107 (a front surface) of the airbag 10 has parallel air holes 102 with six gears. When the user draws the airbag 10 out of the accommodating part 201 by hand and pull the free end to the styloid process of ulna on the outer side of the wrist, the airbag 10 passes through the fastener 70, and the air holes 102 on the upper surface of the airbag 10 are stuck, to remind the user that the airbag 10 is pulled to a location for fixing. In this case, the airbag 10 has been pulled out and fixed, and in a process in which the lifting platform 80 lifts, the first air nozzle 401 and the second air nozzle 501 are respectively inserted into the corresponding air holes 102.
The pressurized area 110 is inflated by using the air pump 40, and blood pressure is measured by using the barometric pressure sensor 50.
According to the foregoing steps, the airbag 10 is pulled to an optimal length, the air nozzles of the air pump 40 and the barometric pressure sensor 50 are inserted into the corresponding air holes 102 of the airbag 10, and preparation works before blood pressure measurement are completed. In this case, the air pump 40 can inflate and pressurize the airbag 10, to start a blood pressure measurement process. The air pump 40 inflates the airbag 10, to increase pressure inside the airbag 10, and the airbag 10 expands, and presses the radial and ulnar arteries at the wrist. The barometric pressure sensor 50 collects a pressure signal in the airbag 10 in real time. Because the radial and ulnar arteries are pressed, a pulse wave signal is superimposed on the signal collected by the barometric pressure sensor 50. The pulse wave signal is obtained from the original signal, features (including a peak pressure, a maximum slope point, and the like) of the pulse wave signal are calculated, and final diastolic pressure and systolic pressure values are calculated by using a blood pressure model.
The measurement ends, the air pump 40 is powered off and connected to the atmosphere, and the airbag 10 is deflated by using the air pump 40.
The air pump 40 not only has a function of inflating the airbag 10, but also has a function of extracting air from the airbag 10. When the blood pressure measurement ends, the air pump 40 deflates the pressurized area 110 of the airbag 10. However, after the deflation, some air remains in the pressurized area 110 of the airbag 10. If this air is not extracted, in a process of winding the airbag 10 into the accommodating part 201, because the air nozzles of the air pump 40 and the barometric pressure sensor 50 are drawn out of the air holes 102, and the airbag 10 is sealed, the airbag 10 cannot be wound into the accommodating part 201. Therefore, before winding, the air pump 40 needs to extract the air remaining in the pressurized area 110 of the airbag 10. After the air is extracted, the air nozzles of the air pump 40 and the barometric pressure sensor 50 are drawn out of the air holes 102.
The pressing part 30 is lifted, the lifting platform 80 is driven to lower down, and the rotating shaft 60 is started to rotate to wind the airbag 10 into the cavity 20.
It can be understood that driving action instructions in the foregoing steps are all sent by the control board 90 and completed by the foregoing corresponding parts.
Finally, it should be noted that the foregoing descriptions are merely implementations of embodiments, but are not intended to limit the scope of the embodiments. Any variation or replacement shall fall within the scope of the embodiments.
