DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The preferred mechanism and implementation method of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] The microcontroller unit (MCU) is a single-chip microcomputer system that integrates functional modules such as a microprocessor core, AI algorithm, memory, input and output interface, and timer.

[0020] The brushless DC motor consists of a motor body and a driver, and is a typical mechatronics product. The stator winding of the motor is mostly made into a three-phase symmetrical star connection, which is very similar to a three-phase asynchronous motor. The rotor of the motor is attached with a magnetized permanent magnet. In order to detect the polarity of the motor rotor, a position sensor is installed in the motor. The driver is composed of power electronic devices and integrated circuits, etc. Its functions are: receiving the start, stop, and brake signals of the motor to control the start, stop, and brake of the motor; receiving the position sensor signal and the forward and reverse signals to control the on and off of each power tube of the inverter bridge to generate continuous torque; receiving speed instructions and speed feedback signals to control and adjust the speed; providing protection and display, etc. At present, many microprocessors have built the necessary functions of controlling motors into the chip, and the size is getting smaller and smaller; such as analog-to-digital converters (ADC), pulse width modulation (PWM)... etc. The brushless DC motor is an application that electronically controls the commutation of the AC motor to obtain similar characteristics to the DC motor without the lack of the DC motor mechanism. In the present invention, the brushless DC motor rotates to automatically adjust the headband to fit the operator's head, avoiding the operator manually rotating a button to adjust the headband to fit the operator's head, reducing operation time, improving efficiency, and also reducing the risk of bacterial infection to the patient during manual operation.

[0021] TF card, also known as MicroSD card, is a small, high-performance memory card widely used in mobile devices, cameras, drones and other fields. The working principle of TF card is based on flash memory technology. Its unique design and high efficiency make it an important part of the field of memory chips. Flash memory technology is based on the charge state in the storage unit, and represents 0 and 1 by adjusting the amount of charge. The TF card is composed of multiple storage units, which are connected together through circuits to form a storage array. When it is necessary to read the data in the TF card, the computer or other device sends the read instruction to the TF card through the interface. TF card can be used to store data in devices such as smart phones, tablet computers, digital cameras, etc., mainly used to expand the storage space in the mobile phone. In the present invention, the control host is connected to the head-mounted recording system through the camera interface and the headlight interface, and the memory card interface can be inserted with the TF memory card, which is convenient and flexible to plug and unplug and carry.
