P51960018TW 23771twf.doc/p IX. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a pulse measuring component, a pulse measuring device, and a distal care system comprising the pulse measuring device. In particular, it relates to a pulse measuring component, a pulse measuring device' and a distal care system thereof which can prevent a blood vessel from slipping while measuring a pulse. [Prior Art] With the development of medical technology, the average life expectancy of human beings has gradually increased, and it has entered an aging society. As a result, the demand for home care and personal portable medical surveillance systems is increasing. Compared with Western medicine, Chinese medicine practitioners can obtain many body information by non-invasive examination of a vein in the field of Chinese medicine, without using a lot of inspections like Western medicine, in order to It is possible to divide the pulse of the Chinese medicine into more than twenty categories. Some of the pulse differences are very subtle. It is difficult for beginners to separate them. Therefore, it is necessary to have an instrument capable of pulse waveforms. The pulse is known from the waveform. A device that can measure a pulse waveform is known from the U.S. Patent No. 6,626,837, which discloses a pulse measuring device, and an ultrasonic method for measuring a pulse waveform, which can measure a pulse wave %, but a couch. Further, in U.S. Patent No. 5, lnl 4??«, ,,, it discloses a pulse waveform measurement = 'force sensor to measure the pulse waveform, although the pressure is used: the pulse waveform is measured. However, there is often no measurement of pulse rate ° & 疋 because the i tube is located under the skin, under pressure will slide under the skin to change position, so often (10) force sensor alignment 1324058 P51960018TW 23771twf.doc / p The signal is not measured after the pulse, because the position of the artery has changed. In addition, arterial management has a certain degree of elasticity. If excessive pressure is applied, the signal will become smaller or even impossible to measure. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The inventors have found that a pressure sensor is required to measure an accurate pulse wave signal. Moreover, according to the experience of the present inventors, at present, in the implementation of the research and the use of Chinese medicine equipment, the difficulty is in "how to use the pressure sensor to measure the pulse wave signal", and it is most difficult to use the pressure sensor. The point is how the pressure sensor fits into the blood vessel. Since the arterial blood vessel is located under the skin, it will slide when pressed. It is often necessary for the Chinese medicine practitioner to find the position of the inch, the off, the ruler and mark it after the measurement, and then press the waste force sensor at that position. No signal. Moreover, if excessive pressure is applied to the blood vessel, the blood flow will be blocked and the signal will not be measured. In order to solve the above problems, the inventors have therefore proposed that the purpose of the present invention is to provide a pulse measuring component and a pulse measuring device capable of accurately measuring pulse information and using a pressure sensor. After aligning with the blood official position, the blood vessels will not slide again, and it can avoid the situation of less than 4 tigers. Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pulse measuring component and a pulse measuring device which can avoid a situation in which an excessively large pressure is applied to cause a signal to become small or even impossible to measure. Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide a remote care system which should be P51960018TW 23771twf.doc/p board computer, etc.). The present invention further provides a remote care system and a remote server. Remote Servo Storage II. Pulse Volume The π's 枓 讯 包含 contains different pulse waveforms for her.遂鳊 The server receives the diagnosis result corresponding to the disconnection, and ° from the transmission device, and transmits it to the pulse volume. The user uses the second and the pulse information data is lightly self-scaled. The long-range system includes the above-mentioned test and consultation, as well as the remote ship. Far turn = the transmitted pulse waveform for the diagnostician (eg doctor) to interpret and = 2 and the diagnostic result is transmitted to the pulse measurer. In this way, the person can interpret the patient's condition at the far end, do some simple instructions, and even ask the patient to go to the hospital/clinic for further examination. The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent and understood. [Embodiment] [First Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 2 at the same time, wherein FIG. 1 illustrates a pulse measuring component according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 illustrates a pulse volume to which the first embodiment is applied. Schematic diagram of the test component to detect the pulse of the blood vessel. The pulse sensing assembly 150 includes a pressure sensor package 〇 2 〇 pressure transfer structure 100. The pressure sensor package 12〇 here refers to the packaged pressure sensing P51960018TW 23771twf.doc/p. The pressure transmitting structure lGG' can be made, for example, by a production molding technique that has a first surface 1Q()a and a second surface 10b opposite the first surface 1a. The pressure transmitting structure 1 is fixed to the pressure sensor package 12A by the first surface 100a, and the second surface 1b has a recess 102. The concave portion has a shape which is received toward the first surface 1a, and is, for example, a v shape, a bowl shape, a U shape, or the like. In Fig. 2, reference numeral 50 denotes a skin of a subject, and when detecting a blood vessel pulse of the subject, the pressure transmitting structure 1 按压 presses the blood vessel 60 by the concave portion 1〇2, and transmits the pressure change of the blood vessel 60 to Pressure sensor package 120. The concave portion of the pressure transmitting structure 1 呈 is characterized by being converged toward the first surface 1A, and after the concave portion 102 is pressed against the position of the blood vessel 6〇, the blood vessel 60 can be driven toward the bottom of the concave portion 102. Even if the blood vessel 6 〇 slides, it will be restricted to the range of the recess 102, so that the measurement signal can be completely avoided. Further, in order to more accurately transmit the pressure fluctuation of the blood vessel 60, the concave portion 1〇2 of the second surface 1 〇〇b of the force transmission structure 100 is more likely to have a protrusion 104' and the blood vessel is pressed by the protrusion 1〇4. 60. Further, in order to avoid excessive pressure on the blood vessel 60, the amount of the signal is less than that. The depth d of the concave portion 102 can be further designed to be smaller than the diameter of the blood vessel 60. For example, in general, the diameter of the artery in the inch, the off, and the ulnar position is about 4 mm, and the diameter of the carotid artery is 4 to 6 mm. Therefore, the depth of the concave portion 102 may be in the range of about 2 mm to 5 mm. It is also possible to make the material of the pressure transmitting structure 100 softer than the pressure sensor package 12' to absorb excessive or improper pressure (for example, improper pressing during measurement causes 1324058 P51960018TW 23771twf.d〇c/p oblique pressure) For example, the material may be a soft polymer, an ultraviolet curing rubber, a soft rubber, a polyimine or the like. Of course, if the pressure transmitting structure 1〇〇 material is not softer than the pressure sensor package 120, a buffer layer 11〇 may be formed between the pressure transmitting structure 1〇〇 and the pressure sensor package 120. The material of the buffer layer 110 is softer than the pressure sensor package 12A and the pressure transmission structure 100. The material layer of the buffer layer 110 includes a soft polymer, a UV curable rubber, a rubber, a polyimide, and the like. Thereby, it is also possible to absorb excessive or improper pressure (for example, an improperly pressed pressure during measurement causes an oblique pressure). [Second Embodiment] Referring to Fig. 4, a pulse measuring apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention is shown. The same symbols in the various figures represent the same elements and are described again.

The pulse measuring unit 150 can be constructed by applying the pulse measuring unit 150 of the first embodiment described above, adding the converting unit 230 and the transmitting unit 240. The conversion device 230 is coupled to the pressure sensor package 12A for converting the detection result of the pressure sensor package 120 into a pulse waveform. This conversion device 230 can include a printed circuit board, a flexible printed circuit board, and the like. Such as = flexible printed circuit board, can also be made into the shape of a wristband, the type of pulse measuring device. The transmission device 240 can be coupled to the wired transmission device or the wireless transmission device 230 for outputting the pulse waveform. For example, the output is output to the display screen of the pulse measuring device 250 (not shown), and the I324U58 P51960018TW 23771 twf.doc/p is output to a diagnostic system. This diagnostic system can be a feeding device, a portable device, a sub-part (such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), a notebook computer, a tablet computer, etc.) or even a portable electronic component, such as a desktop computer. . ^ In the diagnostic system, there is a database of pulse information (including pulse rate, pulse waveform) or a medical history of the patient. The diagnostic system can be mechanically interpreted according to the database, or the pulse information sent by the transmission device can be transmitted to the responsible medical personnel, and the medical personnel can directly perform online diagnosis and prescription.

The same symbols in the various figures represent the same elements and are not described herein. By applying the pulse measuring device constructed in the above-mentioned first and second embodiments, and adding the m-end server 360, a remote care system can be constructed. In the remote server 360, a pulse information database 31 is stored. The 2 beat information database contains diagnostics corresponding to different pulse waveforms, medical history of the patient, and the like. The distal feeder receives the pulse waveform from the transfer wheel 2Γ0, and transmits the corresponding diagnosis result to the Guangbo Lijie 250. In this way, the user can perform self-diagnosis based on the pulse information database. ' ^The remote server 36〇 can also perform the following operations, and the diagnosis is performed by the doctor. The remote server 360 receives the pulse transmitted from the transmission device 24 13 1324058
