Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of animal health breeding, and more particularly to an animal baroquence chamber, its sensor assembly, and a method for controlling the sensor assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In urban life, pets have increasingly become close companions, especially for those living alone or those with guide dog needs, who have gradually become an indispensable part of their lives. However, due to their susceptibility to injury and short lifespan, pets cannot provide long-term, healthy companionship to their owners.

[0003] Existing animal hospitals commonly use barbaric chambers for animal health maintenance and post-injury rehabilitation. A barbaric chamber mainly consists of a chamber body and sensors. Sensors measure and capture data or assist in controlling the environment inside the chamber to provide a suitable recovery environment for the animals inside. Therefore, sensors are important devices that affect changes in the internal environment of the barbaric chamber and provide a comfortable recovery environment for the animals inside.

[0004] However, both the air entering the chamber and the air exhaled by the animals inside the chamber contain moisture. Existing pressure chambers do not have effective dehumidification treatment for the sensors, which can easily cause moisture from the external air to condense on the sensors or cause oxidation of the sensor components. This can lead to the sensors being unable to accurately collect important data such as temperature and humidity, and may even cause the sensors to short-circuit due to moisture condensation, seriously affecting the normal operation of the equipment and the safety of the animals inside the chamber.

[0005] Therefore, a more optimized animal baroquence chamber and its sensor components are needed. Summary of the Invention

3. The sensor assembly according to claim 1, wherein the sensor unit is located in the middle of the receiving cavity.

4. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the inlet corresponds to the outlet.

5. The sensor assembly according to claim 4, wherein the first valve switch and the second valve switch are symmetrically arranged relative to the dehumidification tank.

6. An animal barotracheal chamber device, characterized in that, include: An animal barotracheal chamber; And a sensor assembly according to any one of claims 1-5, the sensor assembly being connected to the animal barotracheal chamber.

7. The animal pressure chamber device according to claim 6, wherein the animal pressure chamber comprises a chamber body and a dehumidifying filter element, the chamber body having a compartment, an air inlet communicating with the compartment, and an air outlet communicating with the compartment.

8. A control method for a sensor assembly, the control method being used to control the sensor assembly as described in any one of claims 1-7, characterized in that, include: The first valve switch is opened and the second valve switch is closed to allow gas from the animal's pressure chamber to enter the containment chamber of the dehumidifier through the air inlet pipe, and the state parameters of the gas are detected by the sensor unit; and the first valve switch is closed and the second valve switch is opened so that the gas in the containment chamber can be discharged through the air outlet pipe to reduce the humidity in the containment chamber.
