Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0048] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict between them.
[0049] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a wearable breath monitoring device based on ultra-low thermal capacity thermistor, comprising: at least one ultra-low thermal capacity thermistor, resistance acquisition module, controller and power module.
[0050] Specifically, the ultra-low thermal capacity thermistor is arranged on the wearable carrier close to the human respiratory airflow path, for real-time sensing of temperature change caused by respiratory airflow, and converting the temperature change into measurable resistance change.
[0051] Among them, the ultra-low thermal capacity thermistor is a special type of thermistor. Compared with ordinary thermistors, the ultra-low thermal capacity thermistor has a smaller size, only millimeter level, which can be more conveniently integrated into the wearable carrier without occupying too much space, and has higher wearability.
[0052] At the same time, compared with ordinary thermistors, the ultra-low heat capacity thermistor has extremely low heat capacity, which can absorb or release heat faster, thereby responding to temperature changes quickly. This feature makes the ultra-low heat capacity thermistor have unique advantages in occasions that require fast temperature monitoring.
[0053] The resistance acquisition module is electrically connected with the ultra-low heat capacity thermistor, and is used for acquiring the resistance change of the ultra-low heat capacity thermistor in real time and outputting a resistance signal.
[0054] The controller is electrically connected with the resistance acquisition module, and is used for receiving the resistance signal, converting the resistance signal into corresponding temperature data according to a preset resistance-temperature dependence relationship, and analyzing and processing the temperature data by using a preset algorithm to identify various respiratory states, and generating temperature change curves, respiratory frequencies and average temperature differences corresponding to various respiratory states. The respiratory states include normal respiratory state, deep respiratory state and respiratory pause state.
[0055] The preset resistance-temperature dependence relationship is calibrated by the physical properties of the thermistor in the ultra-low heat capacity thermistor.
[0056] The expression of the resistance-temperature dependence relationship is:
[0057]
[0058] wherein, R0 is the initial resistance value of the thermistor, which is used as a reference value for calculating the resistance value at other temperatures; T is the current temperature of the thermistor, which is a key factor affecting the resistance value; B is the temperature coefficient, which determines the sensitivity of the resistance to temperature change. k The greater the value is, the more significant the change of the resistance with temperature is; R R is the resistance value at the current temperature.
[0059] Based on the preset resistance-temperature dependence relationship and the current resistance value of the thermistor, the temperature value corresponding to the current resistance value can be determined, which is convenient for subsequent analysis and processing.
[0060] The power module is electrically connected with the controller, and is used for providing working voltage for the controller, and thereby providing working power source for the entire wearable respiratory monitoring device.
[0061] Preferably, the power module can be a battery.
[0062] In an alternative embodiment, the controller and the resistance acquisition module are integrated in one design.
[0063] Of course, the controller and the resistance acquisition module can also be designed separately.
[0064] The ultra-low heat capacity thermistor is connected to the resistance acquisition module through a soft connection or a hard connection, which can ensure stable signal transmission while taking into account the flexibility and comfort of the device worn.
[0065] In an alternative embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-4 The wearable carrier includes at least one of a mask, a wearable mask, and a flexible substrate.
[0066] The mask includes, but is not limited to, a general child / adult mask, a medical mask, a daily protective mask, an industrial dust mask, etc.
[0067] The ultra-low heat capacity thermistor is embedded in the mask or the wearable mask, or attached to one side of the flexible substrate.
[0068] The other side of the flexible substrate is coated with an adhesive material; when the wearable carrier is a flexible substrate, the side coated with the adhesive material is used to directly attach to the position below the nostril outlet of the human body, as shown in Figure 4
[0069] It should be noted that as long as the installation position of the ultra-low heat capacity thermistor can ensure that it does not come into contact with the skin, any other arrangement can achieve monitoring of the respiratory temperature.
[0070] In an alternative embodiment, the ultra-low heat capacity thermistor includes a plurality of
[0071] The plurality of ultra-low heat capacity thermistors are arranged in a two-dimensional array and embedded in the mask or the wearable mask, or attached to one side of the flexible substrate.
[0072] Preferably, the number of ultra-low heat capacity thermistors is 1-30.
[0073] In an alternative embodiment, the controller includes a digital-to-analog conversion unit, a signal processing unit, a respiratory state analysis unit, a data output unit, and a power management unit.
[0074] Specifically, the digital-to-analog conversion unit (ADC) is electrically connected to the resistance acquisition module, for receiving the resistance signal and converting the resistance signal into a corresponding digital signal.
[0075] The signal processing unit is electrically connected to the digital-to-analog conversion unit, for receiving the digital signal and converting the digital signal into temperature data according to a pre-set resistance-temperature dependence relationship; and calibrating and formatting the temperature data packet, and sending the processed data packet to a data queue.
[0076] Specifically, the signal processing unit first reads the ADC data to obtain the raw data input; then it performs data conversion (resistance value to temperature value) and calibration to ensure data accuracy and consistency; subsequently, it formats the data packet to standardize the data format for subsequent processing; finally, it sends the processed data packet to the data queue to complete the temporary storage and transmission preparation of the data, such as... Figure 5 Task 1 is shown.
[0077] The respiratory state analysis unit, electrically connected to the signal processing unit, is used to acquire data packets in the queue and perform time-frequency analysis on the data packets using a spectrum analysis method; and to convert the analysis results into an amplitude scale diagram and identify various respiratory states based on the amplitude scale diagram.
[0078] Specifically, the respiratory status analysis unit retrieves data from the data queue, processes the data, performs analysis or calculations on the received data, and ultimately stores or transmits the data, completing the final data processing and output. Figure 5 Task 2 is shown.
[0079] This invention enables orderly collaboration through task allocation and utilizes a data queue as an intermediate bridge to realize a complete process from ADC data acquisition and processing to final storage or transmission. This ensures the efficiency and logic of data processing and is suitable for application scenarios with clear division of labor and sequence requirements in the data processing process, thereby improving the standardization and reliability of system data processing.
[0080] Secondly, in the respiratory state analysis unit, a spectral analysis method is used to perform time-frequency analysis on the data packets, involving a respiratory state analysis technique based on amplitude scaling diagrams. By performing time-frequency analysis on the temperature data in the data packets and converting it into amplitude scaling diagrams, the characteristics of different respiratory states are visually presented, such as... Figure 6 As shown: Normal breathing (0.35Hz), deep breathing (0.18Hz), mouth breathing, and sleep apnea, etc. Figure 6 It exhibits a clear time-frequency dimension. Utilizing the visualization capabilities of amplitude scaling diagrams, this technology accurately distinguishes various respiratory states, providing a clear basis for respiratory status monitoring. It helps to promptly identify respiratory abnormalities, improves the accuracy and effectiveness of respiratory monitoring, and can be applied to respiratory monitoring scenarios in fields such as healthcare.
[0081] The data output unit is electrically connected to the signal processing unit and the respiratory state analysis unit, respectively. It is used to generate temperature change curves, respiratory rates and average respiratory temperature differences corresponding to various respiratory states based on the identified respiratory state, time-frequency analysis results and temperature data in the data packet. The respiratory states include: normal breathing state, deep breathing state and apnea state.
[0082] For example, such asFigure 7 As shown, Figure 7 (a) in the figure is the temperature change curve during normal breathing, with a respiratory rate of 21 breaths / minute and an average respiratory temperature difference of 0.91℃. Figure 7 (b) in the figure shows the temperature change curve during deep breathing, with a breathing rate of 11 breaths / minute and an average temperature difference of 1.68℃. Figure 7 (c) in the figure represents the temperature change curve during breath-holding.
[0083] The power management unit is electrically connected to the power module and is used to control the power module to provide a stable operating voltage to the controller, and to control the power module to enter a low-power mode when the controller is not in operation.
[0084] In one optional implementation, the controller further includes: a data display unit;
[0085] Specifically, the data display unit is connected to the data output unit to obtain the temperature change curves corresponding to the ultra-low heat capacity thermistors at various locations; and to calculate the temperature difference between adjacent ultra-low heat capacity thermistors and generate a two-dimensional matrix-style temperature difference change map.
[0086] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, using the temperature difference change graph corresponding to deep breathing as an example, the temperature difference change (ΔT, unit: ℃) during deep breathing is presented in a two-dimensional matrix. The horizontal and vertical axes represent parameters at different locations, and the values in each cell accurately indicate the temperature difference at the corresponding location. The color gradient intuitively reflects the magnitude of the temperature difference. This visualization method clearly shows the temperature change characteristics of each region during deep breathing, providing intuitive data support for in-depth analysis of the heat transfer mechanism during breathing. It helps to optimize the layout of temperature sensors or respiratory monitoring algorithms, and improves the accuracy and reliability of wearable devices in monitoring respiratory-related physiological parameters.
[0087] In one alternative implementation, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the ultra-low heat capacity thermistor includes a substrate 1, a temperature-sensing resistance film 2, and lead electrodes 3; the temperature-sensing resistance film 2 is disposed on the upper surface of the substrate 1 and has a through hole 21; the lead electrodes 3 are disposed in the through hole 21 in an interconnected manner, and the upper surfaces of the lead electrodes 3 and the temperature-sensing resistance film 2 are on the same horizontal line.
[0088] This invention is based on the fabrication of microelectromechanical interconnect structure to transfer the lead of lead electrode 3 to the bottom of the device, so as to achieve unobstructed temperature sensing plane, high device integration and easy expansion into high-density sensor array.
[0089] In one alternative implementation, the temperature resistivity of the ultra-low heat capacity thermistor is greater than 0.5 × 10⁻⁶. -3 ℃-1 The thickness of the temperature sensing resistance film is 5nm-100nm, and the thermal conductivity of the substrate is greater than 50W / (m.K).
[0090] Preferably, the substrate is selected from, but not limited to, hard materials such as silicon substrate, glass substrate, or flexible materials such as polyimide, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, etc.
[0091] In an alternative embodiment, as shown in Figure 10 The temperature sensing resistance film has a shape of a water drop with two sharp ends connected, and the area where the two sharp ends are connected is the temperature sensing area.
[0092] Although the embodiments of the present application have been described with reference to the drawings, various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and such modifications and changes are intended to fall within the scope of the present application defined by the appended claims.
