[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0047] Before describing the sleep mask that simulates a high-altitude environment provided by the present invention, the flow sensor included therein will be described in detail.
[0048] Example 1 - Flow Sensor
[0049] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is an exploded view of an embodiment of the flow sensor provided by the present invention. The flow sensor of this embodiment includes a base 1 and an end cap 2 arranged coaxially. A sealed inner cavity is formed between the inner wall of the base 1 and the inner wall of the end cap 2. The base 1 has an air inlet end, and the end cap 2 has an air outlet end. The air inlet end is provided with a plurality of vortex air inlet channels 3 arranged in a ring array. The vortex air inlet channels 3 are connected to the sealed inner cavity.
[0050] A rotating shaft 4 is provided inside the sealed inner cavity. The two ends of the rotating shaft 4 are respectively rotatably engaged with the base 1 and the end cover 2. A flat fan blade 5 is provided on the rotating shaft 4.
[0051] The two sides of the planar fan blade 5 are respectively provided with a light-emitting element 6 and a photosensitive element 7, and a light transmission channel is formed between the light-emitting element 6 and the photosensitive element 7.
[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the light-emitting element 6 and the photosensitive element 7 are respectively an infrared light-emitting diode and an infrared photosensitive diode, forming an optical transmission channel between them. Each rotation of the planar fan blade 5 causes the optical path to open and close once. The rotational speed of the planar fan blade 5 can be obtained by counting the number of on / off cycles within a certain time period. Regarding parameter selection, such as... Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the infrared light-emitting diode has a diameter of 1.9 mm, a wavelength of 940 nm, and an emission angle of approximately ±10°. Figure 6 As shown; the infrared photodiode is 1.25*2 mm, and its spectral sensitivity is as follows. Figure 7 As shown, the wavelength of light with the highest sensitivity is 940 nanometers, which matches the light emitted by the infrared LED.
[0053] Regarding the selection of fan blades, the wind resistance of the blades must be neither too high nor too low. If the wind resistance is too high, a small airflow cannot drive the fan blades to rotate, resulting in low sensor sensitivity. If the wind resistance is too low, due to inertia, when the airflow decreases, the fan blade rotation speed is not entirely due to the airflow, leading to a non-linear relationship between the fan blade rotation speed and the airflow velocity, making subsequent calibration difficult, and the fan blades are unlikely to stop promptly after the airflow ceases. Therefore, this invention uses planar fan blades 5. To ensure that the planar fan blades 5 have low inertia and a certain degree of rigidity, preventing deformation under strong airflow (otherwise, the rotation speed and flow velocity would be difficult to maintain a linear relationship, hindering subsequent calibration), in this embodiment, the planar fan blades 5 are made of 0.2 mm thick aluminum foil, which has low inertia and a certain degree of rigidity, facilitating subsequent calibration. In this embodiment, due to the small size of the components, the planar fan blades 5 are fixed to the rotating shaft 4 by adhesive bonding.
[0054] The flow sensor provided by this invention, by setting multiple vortex air intake channels 3 in a ring array at the air intake end of the end cap 2, can transform the straight airflow into a rotating airflow, driving the planar fan blade 5 to rotate, since the breathing airflow is a straight airflow. The light-emitting element 6 and the photosensitive element 7 form a photoelectric detection module, and an optical path transmission channel is formed between them. Each rotation of the planar fan blade 5 causes the optical path to open and close once. By counting the number of on and off times within a certain period of time, the rotational speed of the planar fan blade 5 can be obtained. Since the wind resistance and driving capacity of the planar fan blade 5 are the same in both rotation directions, when airflow enters, the vortex air intake channel 3 can transform the straight airflow into a rotating airflow to drive the fan blade to rotate. When there is no airflow, the wind resistance can make the planar fan blade 5 stop quickly and in time, thereby improving the flow detection accuracy during breathing.
[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, the flow sensor further includes a detection module and a data acquisition and control module. The detection module outputs a pulse to the data acquisition and control module for each revolution of the planar fan blade 5. The acquisition and control module collects the pulse signal output by the detection module and performs counting and timing. Specifically, the detection module is responsible for signal detection of the planar fan blade 5, employing a photoelectric detection scheme. The detection module outputs a pulse to the data acquisition and control module for each revolution of the planar fan blade 5. The data acquisition and control module collects the pulse signal output by the detection module and performs counting and timing, calculating the rotational speed of the planar fan blade 5 based on the counting and timing. In some embodiments, the flow sensor further includes a Bluetooth communication module, a battery, and a management module. The Bluetooth communication module is controlled to send data at a fixed frequency. In this embodiment of the invention, the control module can use an ultra-low-power microcontroller STM32L072. The microcontroller calculates the pulse waveform output by the detection module. After startup, the microcontroller reads the count every 200 milliseconds and resets it. The number of pulses read is multiplied by 5 to obtain the number of revolutions per second of the planar fan blade, which is then sent to the Bluetooth module via a serial port. The Bluetooth module is responsible for managing Bluetooth device connections. Once a connection is successful, it automatically sends received data to the connected device and can also receive information. The flowchart is as follows: Figure 10 As shown. In a specific embodiment, the battery can be a lithium battery and can provide charging functionality, such as charging via a USB interface. Furthermore, the flow sensor provided by this invention employs... Figure 9 The circuit shown is used for control. The detection circuit is mainly driven by an infrared LED and an infrared photodiode. The infrared photodiode acts as a switch, grounded through a pull-down resistor. When the infrared photodiode is in either the on or off state, the emitter voltage of the infrared photodiode will be in either high or low state. The waveform output from the emitter of the infrared LED is not a standard square wave. After shaping by a Schmitt trigger, a square wave with better signal quality can be obtained.
[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the flow sensor further includes a one-way gas flow mechanism for preventing gas from flowing from the outlet end to the inlet end. Specifically, in this embodiment, the one-way gas flow mechanism includes a gas film 8 located on the outlet end. The gas film 8 can seal the outlet end, and when airflow flows out from the outlet end, the gas film 8 can deform along the airflow direction. In the initial state, the gas film 8 seals the outlet end to prevent gas from entering the sealed cavity. When airflow flows in from the inlet end, the periphery of the gas film 8 can deform along the airflow direction, allowing gas to flow out from the outlet end. In some embodiments, one-way valves or similar mechanisms can also be used to prevent and control one-way airflow.
[0057] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the gas unidirectional flow mechanism further includes a first magnet 9 and a second magnet 10 coaxially arranged with the gas film 8. The first magnet 9 and the second magnet 10 are respectively located on both sides of the gas film 8, and the second magnet 10 is fixedly mounted on the end cap 2. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, both the first magnet 9 and the second magnet 10 are permanent magnets. The end cap 2 is provided with a mounting groove, and the second magnet 10 is engaged in the mounting groove, which can fix the second magnet 10. Through the fixing effect of the first magnet 9 and the second magnet 10, the center part of the gas film 8 can be fixed, and when the airflow passes through, the periphery of the gas film 8 can be uniformly deformed.
[0058] In this embodiment of the invention, the cross-sectional area of the vortex intake channel 3 gradually decreases from the inlet to the outlet. Since the respiratory airflow is relatively weak during the transition between exhalation and inhalation, the increasingly narrow interior of the vortex intake channel 3, as described above, causes the airflow velocity to gradually increase as it flows from the inlet to the outlet, thereby increasing the sensing sensitivity of the flow sensor.
[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, both the light-emitting element 6 and the photosensitive element 7 are disposed on the base 1. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the mounting positions of the light-emitting element 6 and the photosensitive element 7 determine the pulse duty cycle, where the shaded area represents the obscured portion and the blank area represents the unobscured portion. From a circuit detection perspective, it is desirable for the duty cycle of each pulse to be close to 50%, which is beneficial for stable detection. Therefore, in specific implementations, when... Figure 3 When θ is approximately 90°, the pulse duty cycle can be made close to 50%.
[0060] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the base 1 is provided with a mounting groove, the photosensitive element 7 is located in the mounting groove, and the mounting groove is provided with a light-transmitting hole 11. Since the optical path between the light-emitting element 6 and the photosensitive element 7 is short and the transmission space is a relatively closed space, in order to prevent interference from scattered light, in addition to selecting an infrared light-emitting diode with a small emission angle, this embodiment also processes the input optical path of the infrared photosensitive diode by placing the infrared photosensitive diode in the mounting groove of the base 1 and providing a light-transmitting hole 11 in the mounting groove. The light-transmitting hole 11 has a certain depth and can shield the incident light and block the scattered light from entering.
[0061] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the number of vortex intake channels 3 is an odd number. This ensures that in the initial state, the airflow in at least one vortex intake channel 3 can drive the planar fan blade 5 to rotate, ensuring that the planar fan blade 5 can start normally from any position. Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of vortex intake channels 3 is 7 as an example.
[0062] like Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, bearings 12 are respectively fitted at both ends of the rotating shaft 4. One bearing 12 is mounted on the base 1, and the other bearing 12 is mounted on the end cover 2. The rotating shaft 4 is provided with limiting shoulders 13 for limiting the two bearings 12 respectively. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the base 1 and the end cover 2 are respectively provided with mounting grooves for mounting the bearings 12. The two bearings 12 are respectively engaged in the mounting grooves located in the base 1 and the end cover 2. Under the action of the two bearings 12, the planar fan blade 5 can drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate.
[0063] Example 2 - Sleeping mask simulating a high-altitude environment
[0064] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of an embodiment of a sleep mask simulating a high-altitude environment provided by the present invention. This embodiment of the sleep mask simulating a high-altitude environment includes a mask body 14, on which a mounting base 15 is provided, as shown... Figure 15 As shown, the mounting base 15 is provided with a first air passage 16, a second air passage 17 and a main air passage. The first air passage 16 and the second air passage 17 are connected to the main air passage, and the main air passage can be connected to the outside.
[0065] The first airway 16 and the second airway 17 are provided with flow sensors 18 for detecting expiratory flow and inspiratory flow respectively, and also include a flow resistance adjustment mechanism for adjusting the flow resistance of respiratory airflow in the main airway.
[0066] The flow resistance adjustment mechanism includes an air inlet 19 and a flow resistance adjustment component 20. The air inlet 19 is located on the end wall of the main air passage, and the flow resistance adjustment component 20 is used to adjust the size of the air inlet 19.
[0067] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the flow sensor 18 is the flow sensor 18 described in Embodiment 1, and the flow sensor 18 located in the first air passage 16 and the flow sensor 18 located in the second air passage 17 are oriented in opposite directions, with the end of the flow sensor 18 located in the first air passage 16 having an air film facing upwards. Figure 1 (As shown in the direction), the flow sensor 18 located in the second airway 17 has one end with an air film facing downwards. Thus, the flow sensor 18 located in the first airway 16 is an expiratory flow sensor, and the flow sensor 18 located in the second airway 17 is an inspiratory flow sensor, which can be used to detect expiratory flow and inspiratory flow, respectively. In this embodiment of the invention, the mounting base 15 adopts a nose-shaped anthropomorphic design. The first airway 16 and the second airway 17 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the mounting base 15. When the mask is worn, the two nostrils are aligned with the first airway 16 and the second airway 17, which facilitates airflow into the corresponding flow sensor 18, reduces the distance the airflow travels, thereby reducing the probability of airflow leakage and improving the detection accuracy of the flow sensor 18.
[0068] The sleep mask simulating a high-altitude environment provided by this invention allows for adjustment of the opening of the air vent 19 during sleep via the flow resistance adjuster 20, thereby regulating the amount of air entering the total airway per unit time. This adjusts the total oxygen content in the air inhaled during each respiratory cycle, achieving the technical objective of simulating sleep at different altitudes in normal altitude areas. Furthermore, the expiratory and inspiratory flow rates can be measured and detected separately via flow sensors 18 installed in the first airway 16 and the second airway 17.
[0069] like Figure 14 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the vent 19 includes a plurality of sub-vents arranged in a ring array on the end wall of the main air passage. The flow resistance adjustment component 20 is coaxially arranged with the vent 19 and is rotatably engaged with the end wall of the main air passage. The flow resistance adjustment component 20 is provided with a plurality of adjustment plates arranged in a ring array on it for adjusting the size of the sub-vents. In this embodiment of the invention, a mounting shaft is provided at the center of all the sub-vents. The flow resistance adjustment component 20 is rotatably fitted onto the mounting shaft. By driving the flow resistance adjustment component 20 to rotate on the mounting shaft, the opening size of each adjustment plate can be adjusted to regulate the flow resistance of the corresponding sub-vent.
[0070] Specifically, such as Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the flow resistance regulator 20 has a ring array of multiple adjusting plates corresponding one-to-one with the number of sub-vents. All adjusting plates can completely block or fully open (or partially open) all corresponding sub-vents. As an example of this embodiment, the end wall of the main air passage has a ring array of three fan-shaped sub-vents, and the flow resistance regulator 20 has a ring array of three fan-shaped adjusting plates. In some embodiments, the sub-vents and adjusting plates can also be set to other shapes, and their number is not limited.
[0071] like Figure 20As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the sleep mask simulating a high-altitude environment further includes a drive mechanism for driving the flow resistance adjustment component 20 to rotate. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 21, a drive gear 22 on the output shaft of the drive motor 21, and a driven gear 23 on the outer periphery of the flow resistance adjustment component 20 that is connected to the drive gear 22 in a transmission manner. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the mounting base 15 is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the drive motor 21, and the drive motor 21 is located in the mounting groove with its output shaft end facing outward. In this embodiment of the invention, the drive gear 22 and the driven gear 23 are directly meshed for transmission connection. As an example, the ratio of the number of teeth of the drive gear 22 to the number of teeth of the driven gear 23 is 17:52, and the reduction ratio is approximately 3. In some embodiments, the drive gear 22 and the driven gear 23 can also be connected by other transmission methods, which can be specifically set according to the space limitations of the device and the required transmission ratio.
[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, the sleep mask simulating a high-altitude environment also includes a position detection sensor for detecting the position of the flow resistance adjustment component 20. The position detection sensor is communicatively connected to the drive motor 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive motor 21 is a stepper motor, and the position detection sensor operates on the principle of photoelectric detection. A blocking plate is installed on the flow resistance adjustment structure, which blocks the light path when the flow resistance adjustment component 20 rotates to its initial position. By setting the above-mentioned position detection sensor, the rotation angle of the flow resistance adjustment component 20 can be detected. Since the position detection sensor is communicatively connected to the drive motor 21, the controller can receive the position signal of the flow resistance adjustment component 20 detected by the position detection sensor. The control signal sends a control signal to the stepper motor based on the position signal, causing it to drive the flow resistance adjustment component 20 to rotate by a set angle, thereby controlling the opening size of the vent 19.
[0073] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the sleep mask simulating a high-altitude environment further includes an upper cover 24, which is located on the mounting base 15, and a position detection sensor is mounted on the upper cover 24; the upper cover 24 is provided with ventilation holes 25 for ventilation. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the upper cover 24 includes a top plate and an end plate that are perpendicularly connected to each other. The top plate is used to be installed at a reserved installation position on the mounting base 15, and a cavity is formed between the top plate and the reserved installation position on the mounting base 15, in which components such as circuit boards and position detection sensors can be installed. The end plate is used to be fastened to the end of the mounting base 15, and an array of ventilation holes 25 for airflow is provided on the end plate.
[0074] like Figure 13As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, the mask body 14 is provided with a fitting portion 26 for conforming to the face. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the fitting portion 26 is designed according to the contour of the human face and has a certain deformation capability, and can be made of silicone material. In this way, it can prevent breathing airflow from leaking from the gap between the mask and the face, gather all breathing airflow, and thus improve the detection accuracy of the flow sensor 18.
[0075] In this embodiment of the invention, a fixing rope is provided on the mask body 14. Specifically, as shown... Figures 11-13 As shown, the mask body 14 is provided with four mounting posts 27 with limiting discs, two on each of the left and right sides, for fixing the fixing ropes located on the left and right sides respectively. In this embodiment of the invention, the fixing ropes can be made of elastic material to facilitate fixing the mask body 14.
[0076] The sleep mask simulating a high-altitude environment provided by this invention can be used in conjunction with a blood oxygen measurement module, and can interact and provide feedback with the blood oxygen measurement module via a mobile phone. In specific implementation, it can be operated by setting up a mini-program on the mobile phone. The specific operation steps are as follows:
[0077] Power on the device, then open the mobile app and search for Bluetooth devices. Connect the phone to the Bluetooth module of the flow sensor 18 via Bluetooth, and then connect the phone to the blood oxygen measurement module via Bluetooth. Once connected, the mobile app displays the rotational speed of the planar fan blades 5 in both flow sensors 18, and also reads the pulse rate and blood oxygen concentration. The intake flow can be adjusted based on human blood oxygen parameters and further adjusted via a flow resistance adjustment mechanism to simulate the effect of adapting to low oxygen levels during sleep in a high-altitude environment.
[0078] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
