All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The invention aims to provide a portable bladder urine volume monitoring system and a portable bladder urine volume monitoring method, which are used for conveniently and accurately acquiring urine volume information in a bladder of a tested object at any time.

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention comprehensible, embodiments accompanied with figures are described in further detail below.

Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a portable bladder urine volume monitoring system according to the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the portable bladder urine volume monitoring system includes a collecting device 1, a mobile terminal 2 and an upper computer 3.

Specifically, the acquisition device 1 is in contact with the abdominal wall of the object to be measured, and is configured to transmit an ultrasonic signal to the bladder 4 of the object to be measured, receive an ultrasonic echo signal carrying urine volume information in the object to be measured, obtain a corresponding urine volume detection signal according to the ultrasonic echo signal, and process the urine volume detection signal into a corresponding digital quantity signal.

The mobile terminal 2 is connected with the acquisition device 1 and is used for generating an acquisition command and sending the acquisition command to the acquisition device 1 so that the acquisition device 1 can detect urine volume information in the body of the measured object according to the acquisition command; the mobile terminal 2 is further configured to store the digital quantity signal.

The upper computer 3 is connected with the mobile terminal 2 and used for processing the digital quantity signals to obtain corresponding urine volume information and sending the urine volume information to the mobile terminal 2 for display.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 2 and the upper computer 3 are both software, wherein the mobile terminal 2 is developed by an application identifier 2, and the interface of the mobile terminal is as shown in fig. 9, and functions of displaying the connection state of the acquisition device, controlling the acquisition device to monitor, manually resetting the acquisition device, deleting the current detection result, and querying historical data can be realized by programming; the upper computer 3 is developed by adopting LABVIEW software.

Further, the acquisition device 1 includes an ultrasonic transducer 11, an ultrasonic transmitting circuit 12, an ultrasonic receiving circuit 13 and a controller 14.

Specifically, the controller 14 is connected to the mobile terminal 2, and is configured to generate a trigger signal according to the acquisition command.

The ultrasonic wave emitting circuit 12 is connected to the controller 14, and is configured to generate a pulse signal according to the trigger signal. In this embodiment, the pulse signal is a high-frequency high-voltage pulse signal with the same time interval as the trigger signal, and has a pulse frequency of 5Mhz and an amplitude of 150V; the ultrasonic signal is a high-frequency ultrasonic signal.

The ultrasonic transducer 11 is connected with the ultrasonic transmitting circuit 12 and is contacted with the abdominal wall of the measured object; the ultrasonic transducer 11 is used for transmitting an ultrasonic signal to the bladder of the object to be measured under the excitation of the pulse signal, receiving an ultrasonic echo signal carrying the urine volume information in the body of the object to be measured, and generating an electric signal responding to the ultrasonic echo signal.

The ultrasonic receiving circuit 13 is respectively connected with the ultrasonic transducer 11 and the controller 14, and is used for preprocessing the electric signal to obtain a corresponding urine volume detection signal; the controller 14 is further configured to convert the urine volume detection signal into a corresponding digital quantity signal.

Preferably, the controller 14 is an STM32F103 single chip microcomputer, but is not limited thereto, and may be adjusted according to actual needs.

Further, the ultrasonic receiving circuit 13 includes a pre-filter circuit, a three-level gain amplifying circuit, a band-pass filter circuit, a rectifying circuit, and a damping amplitude limiting circuit.

The pre-filter circuit is connected to the ultrasonic transducer 11 and is configured to filter noise signals in the electrical signals, so as to improve a signal-to-noise ratio. In this embodiment, the pre-filter circuit is also used to filter the interference of the ultrasonic emission signal.

And the three-level gain amplification circuit is connected with the pre-filter circuit and is used for amplifying the electric signal after the noise signal is filtered. In this embodiment, the three-level gain amplification circuit only amplifies a weak ultrasonic echo signal carrying urine volume information in the body of the object to be measured, which is several millivolts to several volts, in the electrical signal, and the mixed noise signal is not amplified.

The band-pass filter circuit is connected with the three-level gain amplification circuit and is used for reserving the electric signal with set frequency and filtering the electric signal with residual frequency, so that the signal-to-noise ratio is further improved.

The rectifying circuit is connected with the band-pass filter circuit and used for integrating the electric signals with set frequency, so that the waveforms of a plurality of echoes formed due to the physiological structure of a human body and the like are more regular, and the subsequent controller 14 can further process the electric signals conveniently. In this embodiment, the rectification circuit is half-wave rectification, and removes all voltages below 0V, so as to normalize signals and facilitate subsequent processing.

The damping amplitude limiting circuit is respectively connected with the rectifying circuit and the controller 14 and is used for limiting the voltage amplitude of the integrated electric signal within a set range; the set range is a range less than or equal to a maximum input voltage of the controller. For example, the controller 14 is an STM32 single chip microcomputer, and the input voltage of the IO port of the STM32 single chip microcomputer is limited to 3.3V, so that in the damping amplitude limiting circuit, a signal with an amplitude higher than 3.3V needs to be preposed within a range of 3.3V to avoid damage to the single chip microcomputer.

Further, the upper computer 3 comprises a digital filtering module, a digital-to-analog conversion module, a drawing module and a processing module.

Specifically, the digital filtering module is connected to the mobile terminal, and is configured to digitally filter the digital quantity signal; the digital-to-analog conversion module is connected with the digital filtering module and is used for converting the digital quantity signals after digital filtering into corresponding analog quantity signals; the drawing module is connected with the digital-to-analog conversion module and used for drawing a oscillogram corresponding to the analog quantity signal; the processing module is respectively connected with the drawing module and the mobile terminal and is used for calculating and obtaining corresponding urine volume information according to the oscillogram.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal is connected to the acquisition device through a WIFI, a 5G mobile communication network or a USB data line; the mobile terminal is connected with the upper computer through a WIFI, 5G mobile communication network or a USB data line. The mobile terminal 2 is preferably connected with the controller 14 and the upper computer 3 in a wireless mode (transmission rate, data bit, check bit, stop bit and the like are set in respective programs), so that the portable bladder urine volume monitoring device is convenient to carry and use.

As a specific implementation manner of this embodiment, the number of the ultrasonic transducers 11 is 5, and the arrangement manner thereof is shown in fig. 2.

As shown in fig. 2, the 5 ultrasonic transducers are arranged by using a pinhole camera model to form an ultrasonic probe 5; the 5 ultrasonic transducers are divided into two layers, the upper layer is 3, the three transducers are a third transducer 53, a fourth transducer 54 and a fifth transducer 55 from left to right, the lower layer is 2, and the three transducers are a first transducer 51 and a second transducer 52 from left to right; the interval between every two ultrasonic transducers is 5 mm.
