[0028] The embodiment of the present application provides a smart mask 1, comprising a smart mask body 200 and a smart mask connector 100, wherein the smart mask connector 100 is detachably connected to the smart mask body 200, such as Figure 1 shown.

[0029] The smart mask connector 100 includes a retractable belt 10, a resistance sensor (not shown), a bracket 30, a humidity sensor (not shown), an indicator 50, a vital sign sensor (not shown), an infrared sensor (not shown), a frequency generator (not shown) and a port 90. The retractable belt 10 is detachably connected to both sides of the smart mask body 200 to support and fix the smart mask body 200. The resistance sensor is provided on the retractable belt 10 to detect the resistance value of the smart mask body 200. The humidity sensor is provided on the retractable belt 10 to detect the humidity value of the smart mask body 200. The bracket 30 is connected to the retractable belt 10. The bracket 30 is a smart element. The device carrier can carry a variety of intelligent components. The indicator 50, vital sign sensor, infrared sensor and frequency generator are all arranged on the bracket 30. The indicator 50 is used to indicate the connection status of the smart mask connector 100 and the external smart terminal. The vital sign sensor is used to detect the vital sign information of the smart mask wearer. The infrared sensor is used to detect the body temperature of other people within a certain distance from the smart mask wearer. The frequency generator is used to emit a specific frequency into the air to reduce the spread of pathogens and viruses in the air and their adhesion to the smart mask body 200. The port 90 is also arranged on the bracket 30, and the port 90 is used to transmit data.

[0030] For the above-mentioned stretch belt 10, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The retractable strap 10 includes a strap body 12, a first connecting portion 14, and a second connecting portion 16. The strap body 12 is a retractable structure that facilitates length adjustment. The first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16 are respectively connected to the two ends of the strap body 12. The first connecting portion 14 is used to detachably connect to the first side of the smart mask body 200, and the second connecting portion 16 is used to detachably connect to the second side of the smart mask body 200. There are two second connecting portions 16, and the two second connecting portions 16 are located on the same side of the strap body 12, and the two second connecting portions 16 are respectively connected to the second side of the smart mask body 200. In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16 are both snap-fit ​​structures that are used to buckle the side of the smart mask body 200, making it easier to fix and replace the smart mask body 200. In other embodiments, the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16 can be other structures as long as they can achieve the function of detachably connecting the smart mask body 200, such as a clamping structure.

[0031] For the above-mentioned resistance sensor, the resistance sensor is provided with a first probe (not shown) and a second probe (not shown), the first probe and the second probe are respectively arranged at the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16. When the first connecting portion 14 and the second connecting portion 16 are respectively connected to the two sides of the smart mask body 200, the first probe and the second probe respectively contact the two sides of the smart mask body 200 to detect the resistance value of the smart mask body 200. The resistance value of the smart mask body 200 can reflect the functional status of the smart mask body 200. The lower the resistance value, the weaker the protective ability of the smart mask body 200. At the same time, the number of pathogens and viruses on the smart mask body 200 will affect the resistance value of the smart mask body 200. Generally, the resistance value is inversely proportional to the number of pathogens and viruses on the smart mask body 200, that is, the more pathogens and viruses there are, the lower the resistance value of the smart mask body 200. Therefore, when the resistance value of the smart mask body 200 is detected to be low, the wearer should replace the smart mask body 200.

[0032] For the above bracket 30, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 One end of the bracket 30 is connected to the belt body 12, and the bracket 30 and the first connecting portion 14 are located on the same side of the belt body 12. The other end of the bracket 30 is provided with a clamping portion 32, which is used to clamp the first side of the smart mask body 200 and jointly support and fix the first side of the smart mask body 200 with the first connecting portion 14. The bracket 30 is provided with a controller (not shown), a power supply (not shown) and a wireless communication module (not shown). The controller is respectively connected to the resistance sensor and the wireless communication module signal, and the power supply is respectively electrically connected to the controller and the wireless communication module. The wireless communication module can communicate with an external smart terminal. The controller controls the resistance sensor to perform resistance detection and transmits the detected resistance value to the smart terminal through the wireless communication module. The wearer of the smart mask can interact with the controller through the application on the smart terminal.

[0033] In this embodiment, one end of the bracket 30 is connected to the belt body 12 by plugging. The bracket 30 is provided with a buckle, and the belt body 12 is provided with a slot. The buckle is plugged into the slot.

[0034] In this embodiment, the bracket 30 is made of memory metal material so as to adapt to different face shapes and wearing habits when people wear the smart mask 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the bracket 30 is also provided with a switch button 33 (see Figure 4 ), the switch button 33 is used to turn on or off the controller. In other embodiments, the bracket 30 is provided with a button, and the controller can be controlled by the button.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bracket 30 is also provided with a buzzer 34 (see Figure 4 ), the buzzer 34 is used to sound an alarm.

[0037] The humidity sensor is connected to the controller signal and can be located on the first connecting portion 14 and / or the second connecting portion 16 of the belt 12. The humidity sensor is used to detect the humidity of the smart mask body 200. Water vapor in the environment and moisture exhaled by the human body will affect the resistance of the smart mask body 200. The effect of humidity must be subtracted from the detected resistance of the smart mask body 200 to accurately calculate the relative resistance caused by pathogens and viruses, thereby determining the number of pathogens and viruses.

[0038] Regarding the above-mentioned indicator 50, the indicator 50 (see Figure 4 ) is disposed on bracket 30. Indicator 50 is signal-connected to the controller. When the wireless communication module is connected to an external smart terminal, the controller controls indicator 50 to indicate a first indication signal. When the wireless communication module is disconnected from the smart terminal, the controller controls indicator 50 to indicate a second indication signal. The first indication signal and the second indication signal are different. In this embodiment, indicator 50 is an indicator light. When the wireless communication module is connected to the external smart terminal, the indicator light is green. When the wireless communication module is disconnected from the smart terminal, the indicator light is red.

[0039] The above-mentioned vital sign sensor, infrared sensor and frequency generator are all arranged on the bracket 30 and are all connected to the controller signal. The vital sign sensor includes a body temperature sensor, a heart rate sensor, a body fat sensor, etc. The vital sign sensor is used to detect the vital sign information of the smart mask wearer, such as body temperature, heart rate, body fat, etc. The infrared sensor is used to detect the body temperature of others within a predetermined range. In this embodiment, the infrared sensor detects the body temperature of others within 1.5 meters of the smart mask wearer and transmits the body temperature value to the controller. If the controller determines that the body temperature value is abnormal, the buzzer 34 will sound an alarm. The frequency generator is used to emit a specific frequency into the air. This specific frequency can reduce the propagation ability of pathogens and viruses in the air and their adhesion to the smart mask body 200, and can also inhibit the reproduction or replication ability of pathogens and viruses.
