[0041] (III) Beneficial effects

[0042] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0043] (1) The fiber-based stress sensor is integrated. When the stress in the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located exceeds the preset stress threshold P1, the gas information will have a large error, and the information processing unit can discard or not adopt the current gas data, so as to maintain the accuracy and robustness of the gas information. In addition, further, when the preset stress P2 is exceeded, the fiber-based gas sensor may be damaged. At this time, the information processing unit alarms or prompts the user to relieve the environmental stress to prevent irreversible damage to the fiber-based gas sensor.

[0044] In addition, due to the presence of the fiber-based stress sensor, it can also be used for monitoring movements, etc. or correcting the gas information using the stress information to obtain more accurate gas information.

[0045] (2) The gas-sensitive material is greatly affected by humidity. Taking polyaniline as an example, polyaniline itself has hydrophilicity, and in a humid environment, the response degree will become smaller. In this embodiment, the gas information can be corrected according to the humidity information, so as to determine whether the concentration of harmful gases exceeds the safety value, greatly improving the accuracy of harmful gas monitoring.

[0046] The response value of the gas-sensing material to a certain concentration of gas will deviate at different temperatures. At higher temperatures, the response degree is higher. On the one hand, the gas detection data can be calibrated according to the temperature. On the other hand, at higher temperatures, the temperature sensor can give an early warning in a special scenario where there are some flammable and explosive gases, such as carbon monoxide, to safeguard life safety.

[0047] (3) The fiber-based stress sensor has a large area and a certain strength. Therefore, arranging the fiber-based gas sensor on the fiber-based stress sensor can, on the one hand, make the stress information obtained by the fiber-based stress sensor more accurate and direct, and on the other hand, can also play a certain protective role for the fiber-based gas sensor.

[0048] (4) Polyaniline-gold-tin dioxide composite material is used as the ammonia-sensitive material to fabricate the ammonia sensor. The n-type SnO2 A p-n junction is formed between the particles and the p-type polyaniline coating outside them. The existence of the p-n junction can greatly improve the sensitivity of the sensitive material to ammonia. In addition, the nano-gold loaded on the tin dioxide particles plays a doping and catalytic role, improving the conductivity, promoting the carrier transport of the p-n junction, and further enhancing the sensitive performance of the ammonia sensor.

[0049] (5) The information processing unit includes: a first component on the body side and a second component on the terminal side. The first component mainly performs data acquisition and transmission, and data processing and actions are concentrated in the second component on the terminal side, minimizing the number of components on the body side as much as possible, improving the system reliability, and avoiding the impact on the functions of the wearable itself.

[0050] (6) The first component and the second component are connected by wireless means such as Bluetooth. Each element inside the first component is connected by silver conductive fibers, improving the convenience of the wearable and making it more acceptable to the target group.

[0051] (7) A warfare agent detection belt is added to the system to expand the application range, enabling the gas-sensitive fiber bundle to detect whether there are chemical warfare agents in the battlefield environment. By setting two warfare agent detection belts, the detection results can be mutually verified, improving the reliability of the detection results.

[0052] The system includes a temperature sensor and a harmful gas sensor, which can detect harmful gases in case of chemical leakage, explosion or fire and give early warnings to avoid danger.

[0053] (8) The flexible thermoelectric power generation device adopted can generate electricity from the temperature difference between the body temperature and the external environment, realizing the self-power supply of the entire sensing and testing system. Compared with common lithium batteries, lithium-ion batteries, etc., it has less risk of breakage and leakage, is safer and more reliable. In addition, it can supply power stably for a long time. And proper encapsulation can make it durable and does not need to be replaced frequently.

[0054] Furthermore, after simple encapsulation, the flexible thermoelectric power generation device can be easily woven into clothes, has strong expansion ability, and can increase the power by expanding the area. It can achieve self-power supply, supply the entire detection system, and avoid the problem of battery life. At the same time, being woven into clothes, it is soft and comfortable.

[0055] (9) The nylon braided fiber woven from nylon elastic yarn is used as the fiber substrate of the fiber-based flexible sensor. Since it is machine-woven itself, it has small and uniform mesh holes, and the sensitive material is tightly combined with it and is not easy to fall off, ensuring the long-term stability and durability of the fiber-based gas sensor and the fiber-based stress sensor.

[0056] Polyamide elastic yarn has excellent flexibility and certain stretchability. As a wearable device, it is soft, small and light. Preparing stress sensors and gas sensors on it can maximize the comfort problems during wearing.

[0057] (10) Ammonia sensors, nitrogen dioxide sensors, sulfur dioxide sensors, carbon monoxide sensors, etc. are integrated in the system. In the multi-sensor cooperation mode, it can comprehensively understand the harmful gas conditions of the surrounding environment.

[0058] (11) The fibrous sensors are prepared on the polyamide woven fibers by the impregnation method / dip coating method. Compared with the straight and smooth single fiber, the fine structure is more conducive to the adhesion of materials, and the structure of the woven fiber itself is also conducive to the dispersion of stress and is not easily damaged.

[0059] (12) The fiber-based environmental monitoring system of the present invention can be easily integrated with wearable items such as hats, masks, and coats. It moves with the human body and can detect the concentration of toxic and harmful gases in the environment where the human body is located in real time, so as to prevent relevant personnel from staying in a harmful environment for a long time. Description of the Drawings

[0060] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the fiber-based environmental monitoring system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the manufacturing method of the fiber-based environmental monitoring system according to the embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Embodiments

[0062] The present invention provides a fiber-based environmental monitoring system by combining various fiber sensors and selecting materials, connection methods, etc. It can be easily integrated with wearable items such as hats, masks, and coats, and has the advantages of accurate information providing and comfortable wearing.

[0063] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0064] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the fiber-based environmental monitoring system according to the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the fiber-based environmental monitoring system of this embodiment includes:

[0065] The fiber-based gas sensor group 100, including multiple gas sensors, is used to sense the gas information of the surrounding environment;

[0066] The fiber-based stress sensor 210 is used to sense the stress information of the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located;

[0067] A fiber-based humidity sensor 220 for sensing the humidity information of the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located;

[0068] A fiber-based temperature sensor 250 for sensing the temperature information of the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located;

[0069] A chemical warfare agent detection strip 230 for sensing the chemical warfare agent information of the environment where it is located;

[0070] A flexible thermoelectric power generation device 240 for supplying energy to the first component on the body side of the information processing unit;

[0071] An information processing unit 300, connected to the fiber-based gas sensor and the fiber-based humidity sensor, for processing gas information, stress information, humidity information, etc.

[0072] For those skilled in the art to understand the structure of the completed present application, the various components of the fiber-based environmental monitoring system are given above. However, those skilled in the art should be able to know that this is only the optimal embodiment of the present invention. To solve the technical problem that the gas information fails or the sensor itself is damaged due to the user's excessive movement amplitude, only the fiber-based gas sensor 100, the fiber-based stress sensor 210, and the information processing unit are required. The functions and further solved technical problems of other sensors will be described in detail below.

[0073] The following will separately describe in detail each component of the fiber-based environmental monitoring system of this embodiment.

[0074] In the prior art, when bending or stretching, it often causes a large deviation in the gas information sensing data. And if the stress is too large, it may cause irreversible physical damage to the fiber-based gas sensor.

[0075] In this embodiment, a fiber-based stress sensor is provided, so as to obtain the stress information of the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located. Based on this stress information, the information processing unit can perform the following operations:

[0076] ① Do not adopt the current gas information;

[0077] Those skilled in the art should understand that if the stress of the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located is too large, the gas information collected by it will be seriously distorted, which will not only affect the validity of the current data, but also affect the validity of the front and back gas data. Therefore, it is an ideal situation to discard this part of the data.

[0078] ② Prompt the user to relieve the environmental stress or alarm the user

[0079] To avoid the situation of long-term lack of gas data, a prompt can be sent to the user to prompt them to change their posture or relax the clothing on the sensitive fiber bundle area, so as to obtain accurate gas information. In particularly serious cases, an alarm needs to be sent to the user to prevent physical and irreversible damage to the fiber-based environmental monitoring system.

[0080] Furthermore, a first stress threshold P1 and a second stress threshold P2 are preset in the information processing unit, where P1 < P2; the information processing unit is configured to: when the stress in the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located exceeds the preset stress threshold P1, do not adopt the current gas information and prompt the user to relieve the stress in the environment; when the stress in the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located exceeds the preset stress threshold P2, send an alarm to the user about the risk of damage to the fiber-based gas sensor.

[0081] Those skilled in the art should be able to understand that when the stress in the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located exceeds the preset stress threshold P1, the gas information will have a large error, and the information processing unit can discard or not adopt the current gas data, so as to maintain the accuracy and robustness of the gas information. In addition, further, when the preset stress P2 is exceeded, the fiber-based gas sensor and the fiber-based stress sensor itself may be damaged. At this time, the information processing unit alarms or prompts the user to relieve the environmental stress to prevent irreversible damage to the fiber-based gas sensor. In addition, due to the presence of the fiber-based stress sensor, it can also be used for monitoring movements, etc. or correcting the gas information using the stress information to obtain more accurate gas information.

[0082] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the length and width of the fiber-based stress sensor are both greater than the length and width of the fiber-based gas sensor, and the fiber-based gas sensor is disposed on the fiber-based stress sensor. Those skilled in the art should be able to understand that the fiber-based stress sensor has a larger area and a certain strength. Therefore, disposing the fiber-based gas sensor on the fiber-based stress sensor can, on the one hand, make the stress information obtained by the fiber-based stress sensor more accurate and direct, and on the other hand, can also have a certain protective effect on the fiber-based gas sensor.

[0083] In the process of implementing the present invention, the applicant found that temperature and humidity have a great impact on the accuracy of gas information. Ignoring the temperature and humidity factors will cause the gas information to deviate seriously from the correct value and cannot be used. In terms of humidity, taking polyaniline as an example, polyaniline itself has hydrophilicity, and in a humid environment, the response degree will become smaller. In terms of temperature, taking metal oxides as an example, in a high-temperature environment, the response degree will become larger.

[0084] To solve the above technical problems, in this embodiment, in addition to the fiber-based stress sensor, it further includes: a fiber-based humidity sensor 220 and a fiber-based temperature sensor 250, which are used to sense the temperature and humidity information of the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located. An information processing unit 300 is connected to the fiber-based gas sensor, the fiber-based humidity sensor 220, and the fiber-based temperature sensor 250, and is used to correct the gas information by using the temperature, humidity information, and stress information. Through the above settings, this embodiment can correct the gas information according to the temperature and humidity information and the stress information, greatly improving the accuracy of harmful gas monitoring. In this embodiment, the information processing unit includes: a first component disposed on the body side and a second component disposed on the terminal side. The first component mainly performs data sensing, collection, and transmission, and data processing and actions are concentrated in the second component on the terminal side, minimizing the number of components on the body side as much as possible and improving the system reliability and the impact on the functions of the wearable itself. The first component and the second component are connected by wireless means such as Bluetooth, and the components inside the first component are connected by silver conductive fibers, improving the convenience of the wearable and making it more acceptable to the target group.

[0085] Further, the first component includes: a flexible printed circuit board; a data acquisition module disposed on the flexible printed circuit board and connected to the fiber-based gas sensor, the fiber-based temperature sensor, and the fiber-based humidity sensor, and is used to acquire data on gas information, temperature information, and humidity information; a wireless transmission module disposed on the flexible printed circuit board and connected to the data acquisition module, and is used to transmit the acquired gas data and stress data outward. The second component includes: a wireless reception module connected to the Bluetooth transmission module by Bluetooth and is used to receive gas data and stress data; an action module connected to the Bluetooth reception module and is used to alarm or prompt the user to relieve the stress of the environment when the stress in the environment where the fiber-based gas sensor is located exceeds a preset stress threshold; wherein, the fiber-based gas sensor, the fiber-based temperature sensor, and the fiber-based humidity sensor are disposed on the body side, and the size of the flexible printed circuit board satisfies: the length is less than 50 mm, the width is less than 20 mm, and the thickness is less than 10 mm.

[0086] Among them, the material of the flexible printed circuit board can be selected as polyester film, polyimide film, etc., which can further improve the wearable performance of the environmental monitoring system in this embodiment.

[0087] In this embodiment, the fiber-based gas sensor is one or more of the following sensors: ammonia sensor, nitrogen dioxide sensor, sulfur dioxide sensor, carbon monoxide sensor. For each fiber-based gas sensor, it includes n bundles of gas-sensitive fibers, where n≥2. Each bundle of gas-sensitive fibers includes: a fiber substrate, and a corresponding gas-sensitive layer formed on the fiber substrate. The fiber-based stress sensor includes: r bundles of stress-sensitive fibers; each bundle of stress-sensitive fibers includes: a fiber substrate; and a stress-sensitive layer formed on the fiber substrate, where r≥2. The fiber-based humidity sensor includes: m bundles of humidity-sensitive fibers; each bundle of humidity-sensitive fibers includes: a fiber substrate; and a humidity-sensitive layer formed on the fiber substrate, where m≥2. The fiber-based temperature sensor includes: s bundles of temperature-sensitive fibers; each bundle of temperature-sensitive fibers includes: a fiber substrate; and a temperature-sensitive layer formed on the fiber substrate, where s≥2. The chemical warfare agent sensor includes: k chemical warfare agent detection strips for sensing chemical warfare agent information in the surrounding environment, and each chemical warfare agent detection strip includes: a fiber substrate, and a chemical warfare agent-sensitive layer formed on the fiber substrate, where k≥2.

[0088] For each of the above sensors, the fiber substrate is made of nylon braided fiber. The nylon braided fiber made of nylon stretch yarn is used as the substrate of the fiber-based flexible sensor. Since it is machine-woven itself, it has small and uniform mesh holes, and the sensitive material is tightly combined with it and is not easy to fall off, ensuring the stability and durability of the fiber-based gas sensor and the fiber-based stress sensor during long-term use. In addition, the nylon stretch yarn has excellent flexibility and certain stretchability. Compared with the fine structure of a straight and smooth single fiber, it is more conducive to the attachment of materials.
