AI Technical Summary
In the respiratory monitoring, existing sleep monitors have problems such as the airflow pressure principle that it is easy to fall off, the thermistor principle is difficult to collect temperature changes when the room temperature is close to the human body's respiratory temperature, and the acceleration sensor signal is weak and difficult to identify chest and abdomen breathing.
A sleep monitor is designed including an oral and nasal breath monitoring assembly and a finger clip pulse monitoring assembly. The oral and nasal breathing monitoring component uses airflow and temperature sensors to identify the airflow pressure and temperature changes in the mouth and nostrils through components such as wear parts, mouth breathing detection ring, nose breathing detection ring and annular airbag ring, and accurately distinguish oral and nasal breathing. The finger clip pulse monitoring component passes through the arc-shaped airbag and return spring to ensure that the fingers do not fall off easily and are subjected to uniform stress.
