PULSE MEASURING DEVICE AND METHOD OF PULSE MEASUREMENT THEREWITH

摘要

A pulse measuring device according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a measuring unit which is capable of spherical movement with multiple degrees of freedom; and a movement unit on which the measuring unit is mounted, and which has a spherical movement part for moving the measuring unit spherically with multiple degrees of freedom while also having a linear movement structure for moving the measuring unit linearly with multiple degrees of freedom. The measuring unit comprises: a unit body which is coupled so as to be able to rotate relative to an end part of the movement unit; a linking part which is coupled to a lower end part of the unit body and is able to rotate relative to the unit body; and a sensor part which is coupled so as to be able to rotate relative to the linking part and is equipped with a pulse diagnosis sensor. When the pulse diagnosis sensor is placed in contact with a pulse point, the position of the measuring unit can be adjusted by causing the measuring unit to move spherically with multiple degrees of freedom by means of the spherical movement part, such that the pressure of the measuring unit occurs from a direction at a right angle to the pulse point. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the position of the measuring unit equipped with the pulse diagnosis sensor can be adjusted to the precise position of a pulse point by means of the linear movement with multiple degrees of freedom of the movement unit and the spherical movement with multiple degrees of freedom of the measuring unit, and also accurate pulse diagnosis can be achieved because the measuring unit is disposed in an arrangement whereby pressure is applied at a right angle to the surface of the skin comprising the pulse point.
