[0021] The technical solution of the utility model is further described below with specific embodiments, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0022] Implementation method 1: Figures 1 to 3As shown, the novel physiological parameter monitoring mattress comprises a mattress body 1, a plurality of piezoelectric film sensors 2 arranged on the mattress body 1, and a signal processing device 3; the output end of the piezoelectric film sensor 2 is connected to the input end of the signal processing device 3, and the signal processing device 3 comprises a plurality of signal conditioning circuits 31 connected to the signal output ends of the piezoelectric film sensors 2 in a one-to-one correspondence, and a channel scanning circuit 32 and an information acquisition circuit 33 sequentially connected to the downstream of the signal conditioning circuit 31; wherein the input end of the conditioning circuit 31 is sequentially divided into three paths after passing through a coupling capacitor C and a driving operational amplifier D, the first path is a heart rate conditioning circuit 311 with a gain of 20 times, outputting a heart rate signal with a spectrum of 2-20Hz, the second path is a breathing conditioning circuit 312 with a gain of 4 times, outputting a breathing signal with a spectrum of 0.1-2Hz, and the third path is a breathing conditioning circuit 312 with a gain of 1 times, outputting a breathing signal with a spectrum of 0.1-2Hz. The body motion conditioning circuit 313 with a gain outputs a body motion signal with a spectrum higher than 20Hz; the channel scanning circuit 32 includes a heart rate channel analog switch module IC1 for connecting to the output end of the heart rate conditioning circuit 311 of each conditioning circuit 31, a respiratory channel analog switch module IC2 for connecting to the output end of the respiratory conditioning circuit 312 of each conditioning circuit 31, a body motion channel analog switch module IC3 for connecting to the output end of the body motion conditioning circuit 313 of each conditioning circuit 31, and a channel management module IC4 connected to the control end of each channel analog switch module, and a crystal oscillator circuit is connected to the channel management module IC4; the sensing signal of the piezoelectric film sensor 2 is sent to the information acquisition circuit 33 for storage and uploading of the collected signal after signal enhancement processing and timing scanning selection by the conditioning circuit 31 and the channel scanning circuit 32. Through signal enhancement processing, the conditioning circuit outputs a pure sensing signal; through timing scanning selection, the signal processing device can use a wireless module with fewer ADC resources to collect physiological parameters, and does not need to consume system time resources of the information acquisition circuit part. The signal conditioning circuits of each piezoelectric film sensor are consistent. In this embodiment, the piezoelectric film sensor outputs a voltage signal, which is sequentially branched after capacitor coupling and operational amplifier driving. Since the bandwidths of the conditioning circuits corresponding to the heart rate signal, breathing signal, and body movement signal are set to 2Hz to 20Hz, 0.1Hz to 2Hz, and above 20Hz, respectively, the conditioning circuits on each branch utilize the output physiological signal characteristics of the piezoelectric film sensor to split the mixed signal input by the sensor into pure heart rate signals, breathing signals, and body movement signals; the signal output by the signal conditioning circuit is connected to the channel scanning circuit, and the time signal output by the crystal oscillator is passed through the channel management chip to generate an address coding signal in an incremental manner to open the corresponding analog switch channel, thereby completing the scanning selection under clock control.

[0023] Implementation method 2: Figure 4As shown, the information acquisition circuit 33 of the novel physiological parameter monitoring mattress includes a wireless module 331 for acquiring the heart rate, respiration, and body movement signal data output by the channel scanning circuit 32, and a memory 332 for storing data and a data transmitting antenna 333 for uploading data connected to the wireless module 331. The ADC input end of the wireless module 331 is respectively connected to the channel signal output ends of the heart rate channel analog switch module IC1, the respiration channel analog switch module IC2, the body movement channel analog switch module IC3, and the clock signal output end of the channel management module IC4. The signal output by the channel scanning circuit is connected to the information acquisition circuit, and the universal input port of the wireless module records the address information output by the array scanning circuit, and the external interrupt port of the wireless module records the clock signal output by the scanning circuit, so as to realize accurate signal acquisition driven by the clock signal output by the array circuit. The wireless simulation records the collected heart rate signal, breathing signal, body movement signal and address information in the memory, or sends them to the server through wireless communication for statistical analysis by the host computer. The host computer can identify them through simple peak features, and can calculate the heart rate, breathing rate and body movement frequency by combining the sampling clock frequency and the interval between the peak points. The remaining structures and components are as described in Implementation 1 and will not be described again.

[0024] Implementation method 3: Figure 5 As shown, the piezoelectric film sensors 2 of the novel physiological parameter monitoring mattress are arranged in a plurality of rows and strips on the mattress body 1 in the horizontal and vertical directions to form a sensor matrix; wherein, the gap between adjacent rows of piezoelectric film sensors 2 in the horizontal direction is 15 cm, and the gap between adjacent columns of piezoelectric film sensors 2 in the vertical direction is 10 cm. The number of piezoelectric film sensors 2 arranged in the horizontal and vertical directions is determined by the size of the mattress body, and the gap between sensors can also be appropriately adjusted according to the requirements of acquisition sensitivity and manufacturing cost. The remaining structures and components are as described in Implementation 1 and will not be described again.

[0025] During operation: the sensor array composed of piezoelectric film sensors on the mattress body picks up the subject's physiological parameter information. The signal conditioning circuit amplifies the sensor signal, distinguishes the heart rate, breathing, and body movement signals, and outputs them to the channel scanning circuit. The channel management module on the channel scanning circuit encodes the channels and transmits the signal outputs of each channel on the analog switch module of each channel to the ADC interface in turn. The information acquisition circuit completes the physiological information acquisition and saves the collected information in the memory, or uploads it to the data server of the parameter analysis device (host computer) through wireless signals.

[0026] This new physiological parameter monitoring mattress is easy to use and has complete functions. It does not require the installation of connected sensors on the subject's body surface or the wearing of monitoring terminal equipment, which avoids the subject from generating continuous physiological load during the monitoring process, thereby improving the accuracy of physiological parameter measurement. It is especially suitable for monitoring applications for people without autonomous behavior ability (such as infants, disabled elderly people, disabled people, etc.).
