[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0031] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0032] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Some embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0033] With the increasing popularity of outdoor sports, people frequently travel to high-altitude areas. However, the oxygen is thinner at high altitudes, and altitude sickness, caused by oxygen deficiency, often occurs during travel, especially during outdoor activities at high altitudes, where it can be life-threatening. Related technologies offer solutions for in-vehicle oxygen concentrators, which can be placed inside vehicles to meet the oxygen needs of passengers. However, when hiking is required at a destination, these systems cannot automatically switch to hiking mode, nor can they assess whether the current oxygen concentrator's performance can meet the hiking's ongoing needs. In other words, existing oxygen concentrator control methods suffer from inflexibility and an inability to accommodate the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0034] Based on this, embodiments of the present invention provide an oxygen generator control method, system, and UE device to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0035] To facilitate understanding of this embodiment, a detailed description of an oxygen generator control method disclosed in this embodiment of the invention will be provided first, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1The diagram shown illustrates a flow chart of an oxygen concentrator control method. This method is applied to an oxygen concentrator control system, which includes: a UE (Unified Equipment) device and an oxygen concentrator; see also... Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of an oxygen concentrator, which includes a Bluetooth module, a control module, and an oxygen generation module.

[0036] In one embodiment, combined with Figure 3 The diagram shows the control principle of an oxygen concentrator control system. The oxygen concentrator control system connects to the vehicle system and the UE device via a Bluetooth module through the vehicle's Bluetooth and the UE device's Bluetooth, respectively. The oxygen concentrator's Bluetooth module is also electrically connected to its control module to send Bluetooth pairing signals to the control module. The control module receives the Bluetooth pairing signals to control the oxygen concentrator module to switch oxygen production modes.

[0037] In this embodiment, the control module is also electrically connected to the oxygen generation module. The control module may include a compressor, solenoid valve, molecular sieve, fan, etc. The control module may also include an STM32 processor and a storage module to store control commands corresponding to both vehicle-mounted and hiking modes, for the STM32 processor to invoke.

[0038] The oxygen generator control method can be executed by an electronic device with a certain computing capability. The method mainly includes the following steps S110 to S120:

[0039] S110: When the Bluetooth module is paired with the vehicle's Bluetooth, the control module activates the vehicle mode to control the oxygen generator to supply oxygen to the vehicle's interior.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the oxygen generator is activated in vehicle mode, it outputs oxygen to the vehicle interior at a constant power to maintain a constant oxygen output inside the vehicle.

[0041] S120: After the Bluetooth module is paired with the UE device's Bluetooth and receives the hiking start signal sent by the UE device's Bluetooth, the control module starts the hiking mode and controls the oxygen generation module to supply oxygen to the individual through the oxygen inhalation tube.

[0042] In this embodiment, the control module is configured with both vehicle-mounted and hiking modes. Since the Bluetooth module can automatically pair, when the Bluetooth module pairs with the vehicle's Bluetooth, the control module identifies the paired Bluetooth and, upon determining it is the vehicle's Bluetooth, activates the vehicle mode to control the oxygen generator to supply oxygen to the vehicle's interior. When the Bluetooth module pairs with the UE device's Bluetooth and receives the UE device's Bluetooth hiking activation signal, the control module activates the hiking mode to control the oxygen generator to supply oxygen to the individual through the oxygen inhalation tube.

[0043] In one embodiment, when the UE device Bluetooth and the vehicle Bluetooth are paired simultaneously, the vehicle Bluetooth has priority, and the UE device can also be configured with a startup function to start in hiking mode.

[0044] In other words, the oxygen concentrator control method provided in this application embodiment enables automatic switching between in-vehicle oxygen generation mode and hiking oxygen generation mode by connecting to either an in-vehicle Bluetooth connection or a UE device via Bluetooth, thus meeting the needs of different scenarios. Furthermore, this method can also use the UE device to promptly assess whether the current performance of the oxygen concentrator can meet the hiking endurance requirements, providing an intelligent oxygen generation and supply solution that satisfies both in-vehicle and hiking usage scenarios. Especially for hiking, it can effectively assess the hiking oxygen supply endurance, improving the safety of hiking in high-altitude areas.

[0045] See Figure 4 The flowchart of another oxygen concentrator control method shown is illustrated. In one embodiment, the method further includes:

[0046] (S31) Determine the oxygen generator parameters, which include: battery capacity, oxygen generation power and oxygen concentration per minute for each flow rate;

[0047] In this embodiment, the oxygen concentrator parameters can be obtained through the UE device. Specifically, the UE device can pre-store the parameters of various models of oxygen concentrators to generate an oxygen concentrator parameter library; or it can directly read the current oxygen concentrator parameters after the UE device is paired with the oxygen concentrator's Bluetooth module via Bluetooth.

[0048] (S32) Determine hiking map data based on hiking routes;

[0049] In this embodiment, hiking map data can be generated by the UE device based on a hiking route. The hiking route can be a pre-defined hiking path, including the start point, end point, and route. Since the UE device is equipped with a gyroscope, barometric pressure sensor, GPS module, etc., it can obtain hiking maps and calculate corresponding data.

[0050] (S33) Determine the hiking range based on hiking map data and oxygen concentrator parameters;

[0051] (S34) Based on the oxygen concentrator's battery parameters, determine whether the oxygen concentrator meets the hiking range requirements.

[0052] In other words, the UE device can be configured to include hiking map data and an oxygen concentrator parameter library, and to determine whether the oxygen concentrator's battery power is sufficient for hiking range using the aforementioned hiking map data and oxygen concentrator parameter library.

[0053] In one embodiment, the step of determining hiking map data based on hiking routes as described in (S32) includes:

[0054] (S321) Determine the altitude variation range, hiking distance and hiking time of the target route based on the hiking route;

[0055] (S322) Determine the oxygen content and actual oxygen consumption rate at each altitude based on the range of altitude variation.

[0056] In one embodiment, the step of determining the oxygen content and actual oxygen consumption rate corresponding to each altitude based on the altitude variation range (S322) includes:

[0057] (1) Divide the total distance of the hiking route into n segments based on the range of altitude changes;

[0058] (2) Determine the average altitude of each segment of the route;

[0059] (3) Based on the average altitude, determine the oxygen content corresponding to each altitude. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0060] O(H i )=O0×e -k*H i ;

[0061] Among them, H i Let be the average altitude of the i-th segment, i = 1...n; k is the oxygen concentration decay coefficient; O0 is the oxygen concentration at sea level;

[0062] (4) Calculate the actual oxygen consumption rate R of segment i. i The calculation formula is:

[0063] R i =R b *AF*A Hi ;

[0064] Among them, R b Basic oxygen consumption rate, in L / min; AF is the activity intensity coefficient; A Hi Let A be the altitude influence coefficient for the i-th segment. Hi =1+α*Hi, where α is the altitude influence coefficient and H is the altitude.

[0065] In one embodiment, the step of determining the hiking range based on hiking map data and oxygen concentrator parameters (S33) described above includes:

[0066] (5) Based on the target oxygen concentration, actual oxygen consumption rate, and oxygen content at each altitude, determine the required oxygen supply flow rate for each segment of the journey. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0067] Among them, O 目标 The target oxygen concentration;

[0068] (6) Based on the oxygen flow rate to be replenished, determine the power consumption of the oxygen generator for each segment of the journey. The calculation formula is: P i =P0 + β × G i Where β is the oxygen generator power increase coefficient; P0 is the oxygen generator's base power consumption;

[0069] (7) Based on the power consumption of each segment of the journey and the hiking time of each segment, determine the total energy consumption for completing the hiking route, that is, the hiking range.

[0070] In one embodiment, the step of determining whether the oxygen concentrator meets the hiking range requirements based on its battery parameters (S34) includes:

[0071] (8) Determine the rated range of the oxygen concentrator's battery capacity;

[0072] (9) If the hiking range does not exceed the rated range, the oxygen concentrator is deemed to meet the hiking range requirement.

[0073] The following section provides a detailed description of how to determine whether an oxygen concentrator meets the required hiking range in hiking mode, using a specific example.

[0074] Let D be the total distance of the hiking route in kilometers; T be the total hiking time in hours; n be the number of segments the route is divided into, and the distance and altitude of each segment are obtained from the GPS module of the UE device; H i ΔDi is the average altitude of the i-th segment, in meters; ΔDi is the distance of the i-th segment, in kilometers; ΔTi is the hiking time of the i-th segment, in hours.

[0075] The formula for calculating oxygen content at various altitudes is: O(Hi) = O0 × e -k*Hi Where k is the oxygen concentration decay coefficient, approximately 1.25 × 10⁻⁶. -4 m -1 O0 represents the oxygen concentration at sea level.

[0076] The actual oxygen consumption rate Ri in the i-th segment is calculated using the formula R. i =R b *AF*A Hi Where Rb is the basic oxygen consumption rate, in L / min; AF is the activity intensity coefficient; A Hi Let A be the altitude influence coefficient for the i-th segment. Hi =1+α*Hi, where α is the altitude influence coefficient and H is the altitude in meters.

[0077] Assuming the hiking route is divided into 3 sections, the specific data is as follows:

[0078] Number of segments <![CDATA[Average altitude H i > The distance ΔDi of the i-th segment The hiking time ΔTi for segment i 1 5000 2 1 2 5250 2 1 3 5500 2 1

[0079] O0 represents the oxygen concentration at sea level as 20.9%, but other oxygen concentrations can be chosen as the baseline depending on the circumstances.

[0080] O(H1) = 11.19%;

[0081] Similarly, O(H2) = 10.82%; O(H3) = 10.51%;

[0082] The actual oxygen consumption rate Ri in the i-th segment is calculated using the formula R. i =R b *AF*A Hi ; and A Hi =1 + α*Hi;

[0083] The altitude influence coefficient α is set to 1.5 × 10⁻⁶. -4 m -1 Activity Factor (AF) is set to 5; Basal Oxygen Consumption Rate (R) b Taking 0.35 L / min, we can calculate R1 as 30.625 L / min, R2 as 3.128 L / min, and R3 as 3.19375 L / min. A higher activity intensity coefficient AF indicates a higher activity intensity; a value of 5 represents medium intensity.

[0084] After the UE device is matched with the oxygen generator, it retrieves the battery capacity, oxygen generation power, and oxygen concentration per minute corresponding to each flow rate from the oxygen generator parameter library.

[0085] The parameters mentioned above include, for example, battery capacity: E = 148Wh, base power consumption P0 = 10W, power increase factor: β = 35W / (L / min), and maximum oxygen output flow rate: G. max =2L / min, output oxygen concentration: C O2 =80%, the above parameters are exemplary to verify the control method. In other embodiments, the basic power consumption of the oxygen generator is 80W or 100W.

[0086] In some embodiments, the UE device is adapted to calculate the oxygen generator's battery capacity to meet the hiking range when fully charged, based on the oxygen content and actual oxygen consumption rate corresponding to the altitude of the hike, as well as the oxygen generator's battery capacity, oxygen generation power, and oxygen concentration per minute corresponding to each flow rate.

[0087] Set target oxygen concentration O 目标 ;

[0088] Calculate the required supplemental oxygen flow rate G for the i-th segment. iThe calculation formula is:

[0089]

[0090] Calculate the power consumption P of the oxygen concentrator in segment i. i P i =P0 + β × G i Where β is the oxygen concentrator power increase coefficient, in W / (L / min), P0 is the oxygen concentrator base power consumption, in W; and the total energy consumption E is calculated. total The calculation formula is:

[0091] Where E i Let E be the energy consumption of the i-th segment. i =P i ×ΔT i ;

[0092] The oxygen concentrator's battery capacity, when fully charged, is estimated to be sufficient for a hiking range.

[0093] When E total If the battery capacity E is not exceeded, it is determined that the oxygen concentrator's battery power is sufficient for hiking range when fully charged.

[0094] The following calculations will be performed using the specific reference data mentioned above as an example.

[0095] Calculate the required supplemental oxygen flow rate Gi for the i-th segment, and set the target oxygen concentration O to 23%.

[0096] Paragraph 1, according to the formula: Therefore, G1 = 3.232 L / min. Since G1 > G max =2L / min, take G1 = 2L / min; similarly, for the second segment, G2 is also 2L / min; for the third segment, G3 is also 2L / min.

[0097] Calculate the power consumption P of the oxygen concentrator in each stage. i In the first paragraph, P1 = 10 + 35 * 2 = 80W; in the second paragraph, P2 = 80; in the third paragraph, P3 = 80.

[0098] Calculate total energy consumption E total The result is E1+E2+E3=80w*1h+80w*1h+80w*1h=240Wh.

[0099] Since the battery capacity is 148Wh and it is fully charged, it can be determined that the current battery capacity is insufficient for the hiking range. The UE device issues an early warning, indicating that the hike carries certain risks, and reminds relevant personnel to be prepared and to carry multiple spare batteries. Furthermore, based on the calculation results, according to the current oxygen concentrator parameters, if the hiking distance (round trip) is set at 2 kilometers, lasting one hour, and the target oxygen concentration is controlled at 19.5%, then according to the calculation in this embodiment, the battery capacity can meet the hiking requirements. The specific calculation process will not be repeated here.

[0100] In one embodiment, the oxygen concentrator further includes a battery management module, and the control module is connected to the battery management module; the above method further includes:

[0101] (S130) When the Bluetooth module is paired with the vehicle's Bluetooth, the control module controls the battery management module to charge.

[0102] (S140) After the Bluetooth module is paired with the Bluetooth of the UE device and receives the walk-on signal sent by the Bluetooth of the UE device, the control module controls the battery management module to discharge.

[0103] In other words, the oxygen concentrator provided in this application is a dual-purpose (vehicle-mounted and portable) oxygen concentrator. When used in a vehicle, it is powered by the vehicle itself; when portable, it is powered by a battery. Since the vehicle can power the battery, the oxygen concentrator's battery is typically fully charged. The control module of the oxygen concentrator is also connected to a battery management module, which can detect the battery level. When calculating the oxygen production range, a fully charged battery is generally used as a reference. Of course, if the battery is not fully charged, this can also be detected through the battery management module. For example, if the current battery level is only 60% of its capacity, the corresponding charge for 60% of 148Wh can be calculated to assess whether it meets the hiking range requirements. Due to the inherent risks of high-altitude hiking, it is essential to hike with a fully charged battery.

[0104] In summary, the oxygen generator control method provided in this application adopts two oxygen generation modes, namely vehicle-mounted and hiking modes. It can automatically switch modes when connected to a vehicle Bluetooth module or a UE device to automatically meet the needs of different scenarios. It is especially suitable for hiking, as it can predict the oxygen supply during the hiking process in advance and effectively reduce the hiking risks caused by hypoxia due to altitude sickness.

[0105] Furthermore, this embodiment of the invention also provides an oxygen generator control system, which is used to execute the steps of the method described in any of the above embodiments; the system includes: a UE device and an oxygen generator; wherein the oxygen generator includes: a Bluetooth module, a control module, and an oxygen generation module.

[0114] Among them, H i Let be the average altitude of the i-th segment, i = 1...n; k be the oxygen concentration decay coefficient; O0 be the oxygen concentration at sea level; calculate the actual oxygen consumption rate R of the i-th segment. i The calculation formula is:

[0115] R i =R b *AF*A Hi ;

[0116] Among them, R b Basic oxygen consumption rate, in L / min; AF is the activity intensity coefficient; A Hi Let A be the altitude influence coefficient for the i-th segment. Hi=1+α*Hi, where α is the altitude influence coefficient and H is the altitude.

[0117] In one embodiment, the hiking range is determined based on hiking map data and oxygen concentrator parameters, including: determining the required oxygen supply flow rate for each segment of the hike based on the target oxygen concentration, actual oxygen consumption rate, and oxygen content at each altitude, using the following formula:

[0118] Among them, O 目标 The target oxygen concentration;

[0119] Based on the oxygen flow rate to be replenished, the power consumption of the oxygen generator for each segment of the journey is determined using the following formula: P i =P0 + β × G i Where β is the oxygen concentrator power increase coefficient; P0 is the oxygen concentrator base power consumption; the total energy consumption for completing the hiking route is determined based on the power consumption of each segment and the hiking time of each segment.

[0120] In one embodiment, determining whether the oxygen concentrator meets the hiking range requirement based on its battery parameters includes: determining the rated range of the oxygen concentrator's battery capacity; if the hiking range does not exceed the rated range, then determining that the oxygen concentrator meets the hiking range requirement.
