Detailed implementation manner

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] Refer to Figures 1-4 , a non-contact infant breathing monitoring device, including an analyzer body 1. A plurality of universal wheels 2 with brakes are connected to the bottom end of the analyzer body 1. The universal wheels 2 facilitate the movement of the analyzer body 1. A display screen 4 is connected to the upper end of the analyzer body 1. A switch 5 is connected to the analyzer body 1. A first fixing block 9 is connected to one side of the analyzer body 1. A plurality of reinforcing rings 10 are connected to the outside of the first fixing block 9 on the analyzer body 1. A connecting column 11 is connected to the side of the first fixing block 9 away from the analyzer body 1. A hollow rod 12 is inserted into the connecting column 11. The upper end of the hollow rod 12 near the first fixing block 9 is connected to a second fixing block 13. A bolt 14 is inserted into the second fixing block 13. A plurality of threaded holes 15 are opened on the first fixing block 9. One end of the bolt 14 is connected to the threaded hole 15. The end of the hollow rod 12 away from the second fixing block 13 is slidably connected to a movable rod 16. Limiting holes 18 are opened on both sides of the upper end of the movable rod 16. A plug pin 17 is inserted into the hollow rod 12. One end of the plug pin 17 is connected to the limiting hole 18. The end of the movable rod 16 away from the hollow rod 12 is connected to a fixing plate 19. An acoustic wave transmitter 20 is connected to the side of the fixing plate 19 away from the movable rod 16.

[0026] A sound wave receiver 22 is connected to the fixed plate 19. The sound wave receiver 22 is located below the sound wave transmitter 20. A placement box is connected to the analyzer body 1. The placement box is located below the first fixing block 9. A sound wave reflection mechanism is placed in the placement box. The analyzer body 1 is signal-connected to the sound wave transmitter 20 and the sound wave receiver 22. The analyzer body 1 is moved through the universal wheels 2 to move the analyzer body 1 to a corresponding position. The placement box is opened, and the sound wave reflection mechanism is taken out. The sound wave reflection mechanism is put on the baby. The movable rod 16 is pulled to extend the movable rod 16 to the maximum value it can extend. The movable rod 16 is fixed to the hollow rod 12 through the pin 17. Then the hollow rod 12 is rotated. The hollow rod 12 drives the second fixing block 13 and the fixed plate 19 to rotate. The fixed plate 19 drives the sound wave transmitter 20 to move, so that the sound wave transmitter 20 is aligned with the sound wave reflection mechanism on the baby. The bolt 14 is inserted into the second fixing block 13, and the bolt 14 is fixed through the threaded hole 15, thereby fixing the second fixing block 13, and further fixing the movable rod 16. Finally, the sound wave transmitter 20 is kept stationary. After the analyzer body 1 is powered on, the analyzer body 1 is started through the switch 5. After the analyzer body 1 is started, it controls the sound wave transmitter 20 to emit ultrasonic waves. The emitted ultrasonic waves are reflected after contacting the sound wave reflection mechanism. The reflected ultrasonic waves contact the sound wave receiver 22. After the sound wave receiver 22 receives the sound wave, it transmits the signal to the analyzer body 1. The distance between the sound wave transmitter 20 and the sound wave reflection mechanism is certain, and the time from the emission to the reception of the sound wave is fixed. When the baby breathes, the distance between the sound wave transmitter 20 and the sound wave reflection mechanism changes. When the time from the emission to the reception of the sound wave is greater than the normal time, the baby is inhaling. When the time from the emission to the reception of the sound wave is less than the normal time, the baby is exhaling. When checking the baby's lungs, there is no need for someone to stand beside the instrument to observe the baby's breathing, which improves the accuracy of the baby's lung detection.

[0027] The present invention also provides a detection method for a non-contact baby breathing monitoring device, including the following steps:

[0028] S1: The universal wheels move the analyzer body to move the analyzer body to a corresponding position. The placement box is opened, and the sound wave reflection mechanism is taken out. The sound wave reflection pad is located on the baby's chest. The first elastic band and the second elastic band are tightened, and the buckle seat and the plug buckle are buckled, so that the sound wave reflection pad closely adheres to the baby's chest;

[0029] S2: The movable rod is pulled. After the movable rod is extended to the maximum value it can extend, the movable rod is fixed to the hollow rod through the pin. Then the hollow rod is rotated. The hollow rod drives the second fixing block and the fixed plate to rotate. The fixed plate drives the sound wave transmitter to move, so that the sound wave transmitter is aligned with the sound wave reflection mechanism on the baby. The bolt is inserted into the second fixing block, and the bolt is fixed through the threaded hole, thereby fixing the second fixing block, and further fixing the movable rod. Finally, the sound wave transmitter is kept stationary;

[0030] S3: After the analyzer body is powered on, the analyzer body is started through a switch. After the analyzer body is started, it controls the acoustic wave transmitter to emit ultrasonic waves. After the emitted ultrasonic waves contact the acoustic wave reflection mechanism, they are reflected. After the reflected ultrasonic waves contact the acoustic wave receiver, the acoustic wave receiver transmits the signal to the analyzer body after receiving the acoustic wave. The distance between the acoustic wave transmitter and the acoustic wave reflection mechanism is fixed, and the time from the emission to the reception of the acoustic wave is fixed. When the baby breathes, the distance between the acoustic wave transmitter and the acoustic wave reflection mechanism changes. When the time from the emission to the reception of the acoustic wave is greater than the normal time, the baby is inhaling. When the time from the emission to the reception of the acoustic wave is less than the normal time, the baby is exhaling. When examining the baby's lungs, there is no need for someone to stand beside the instrument to observe the baby's breathing, which improves the accuracy of the baby's lung detection.
