Here, the external appearance of a specific example of the pulse pressure waveform detecting section 40 will be described with reference to the external perspective view of FIG. That is, the pulse pressure waveform detection unit 40 has its both ends connected by the additional band 5 attached to the wrist of the examinee of the pressure sensors 101, 102 and 103, which are composed of a piezoelectric-electrical conversion element such as a piezoelectric microphone. It is disposed on the inner wall portion of the fixed plate 6 that is

Such a pulse pressure waveform detecting section 40 is conceived in order to obtain arterial tension information in a non-invasive manner without difficulty in setting the optimum pressing force.

The pressure sensors 101, 102 and 103 are
By injecting air into the air bladder 107 provided in the additional band 5, the detected region is pressed, and as shown in FIG. 3, arteries such as the radial artery via the skin tissue 20 of the wrist of the examinee. 21 is closed. In the state where the additional band 5 is attached to the wrist of the examinee, as shown in FIG. 3, among the three positions along the artery 21 extending from the heart side to the peripheral side,
A pressure sensor 101, a pressure sensor 102, and a pressure line 103 are arranged at the heart side position, the intermediate position, and the peripheral side position, respectively.

Next, a pulse state detecting section 41 for detecting a pulse state from the pulse pressure waveform detected by the pulse pressure waveform detecting section 40.
The circuit configuration of the specific example of will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. In FIG. 4, the pulse pressure waveform detection unit 40 is
The circuit configuration of a specific example of is also shown.

A concrete example of the pulse state detecting unit 41 is that when the artery 21 shown in FIG. 3 is pressurized by the air bag 107 of FIG. 2 with a weak force, the axial tension is at both ends (that is, the heart side and the peripheral side). ) Affected by the pressure sensors 101 and 103, the central pressure sensor 102 receives a downward force. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
01 and 103 pulse pressure waveforms (P ₁ and P _{3 in the} figure)
(Shown by P) and the rising waveform of the pulse pressure waveform obtained from the central pressure sensor 102 (shown by P ₂ in the figure) are different.

Actually, the three pressure sensors 101, 102
And it is difficult to apply evenly weak force to 103,
It is necessary to make a correction. In the specific example shown in FIG. 4, the time t ₁ from the rising start point to the peak point of the pulse pressure waveform obtained from the pressure sensor 101 disposed at the heart side position.
Of the pulse pressure waveform obtained from the pressure sensor 102 disposed at the intermediate position, the time t ₂ from the rising start point to the peak point is measured, and the pressure sensor 1 disposed on the peripheral side is measured.
The time t ₃ until the peak point measured from the rise start point of the pulse pressure waveform obtained from 03, the average value _{(t 1 + t 3) /} 2 between time t ₁ and time t _3, the time t ₂ A value obtained by dividing the value obtained by dividing by the average value is set as the axial tension value.

In FIG. 4, the level detector 111 detects the rising start point of the pulse pressure waveform obtained from the pressure sensor 101. The peak detector 113 is the pressure sensor 10
The peak point of the pulse pressure waveform obtained from 1 is detected. The timer 112 measures the time t ₁ from when the detection signal is received from the level detector 111 to when the detection signal is received from the peak detector 113.

The level detector 121 is the pressure sensor 102.
The rising start point of the pulse pressure waveform obtained from is detected.
The peak detector 123 detects the peak point of the pulse pressure waveform obtained from the pressure sensor 102. The timer 122 measures the time t ₂ from the reception of the detection signal from the level detector 121 to the reception of the detection signal from the peak detector 123.

The level detector 131 is a pressure sensor 103.
The rising start point of the pulse pressure waveform obtained from is detected.
The peak detector 133 detects the peak point of the pulse pressure waveform obtained from the pressure sensor 103. The timer 132 measures the time t ₃ from the reception of the detection signal from the level detector 131 to the reception of the detection signal from the peak detector 133.

The level detector 130 is the pressure sensor 10.
The levels of the pulse pressure waveforms output from 1, 102 and 103 are detected. The press control unit 131 determines the pump 132 according to the level of the pulse pressure waveform detected by the detector 130.
The air bladder 107 is controlled via the pressure sensors 101, 102 and 103 so that the pressure sensors 101, 102 and 103 are pressed against the artery 21 with such a weak force that the artery 21 is hardly changed.

The adder 114 calculates the time t ₁ measured by the timer 112 and the time t ₃ measured by the timer 132. The divider 115 divides the output value (t ₁ + t ₃ ) of the adder 114 by 2. The divider 116 divides the time t ₂ measured by the timer 122 into the divider 115.
Output value of (t ₁ + t ₃ ) / 2. Then, this value is obtained.

This can be summarized as t ₂ / ((t ₁ + t ₃ ) / 2) (1).
