[0043] Embodiment 1

[0044] As Figures 1 to 9 shown, a sleep monitoring system includes a main body 300. The main body 300 is set as a box structure. Conventional electronic components in the prior art such as a main board, a processor, a wireless module, and a storage battery are arranged inside the main body 300. At the same time, functional interfaces such as a data interface and a charging interface are also arranged on the side wall of the main body 300.

[0045] On the upper surface of the main body 300, a monitoring patch 600 is placed by fitting it into a groove 310. In this solution, the monitoring patch 600 includes a monitoring body 601 with a built-in circuit board, a wireless communication module, and a battery. At the bottom of the monitoring body 601, a charging hole 602 and a first collection electrode 603 are provided; at the front end of the monitoring body 601 of the first monitoring patch 610, a data interface 604 is further provided. In order to charge the monitoring patch 600, a charging head is provided at the bottom of the groove 310, and the charging head cooperates with the charging hole 602 to realize the charging function of the monitoring patch 600.

[0046] In this solution, the monitoring patch 600 is composed of a first monitoring patch 610 and multiple second monitoring patches 620; specifically, one first monitoring patch 610 is provided and is installed and attached to the forehead position of the subject, and preferably four second monitoring patches 620 are provided and are respectively installed at the chest, abdomen, and left and right lower limbs of the subject. The second monitoring patches 620 and the first monitoring patch 610 transmit the monitoring data to the main body 300 in a wireless transmission manner.

[0047] In order to realize the real-time expression of the data of the monitoring system, a cover body 400 is further provided, which is rotatably arranged on the upper surface of the main body 300, and a display screen 410 is provided on the inner side surface of the cover body 400; in this solution, the cover body 400 is preferably hinged to the surface of the main body 300. By integrating the monitoring unit and the data processing unit, and combining with the integrated collection wire harness, the portable use of the sleep monitoring device can be realized. The sleep monitoring system has a simple structure, realizes the function of automatically monitoring and analyzing the human sleep situation, avoids the subjective influence of manual operation on the monitoring results, and is not limited by the use place and conditions, has a wide application range, is convenient to use, and the user can use it in any sleep place.

[0048] Since a large amount of data is collected from the head, a single monitoring patch 600 cannot meet the data collection requirements. Therefore, a parameter collection component 500 needs to be set and plugged into the first monitoring patch 610 for realizing head parameter collection. Specifically, the parameter collection component 500 is provided with a data plug 22, and the data plug 22 can be plugged into the data interface 604 to realize multi-parameter data transmission, and the connection methods include but are not limited to USB and TYPE-C.

[0049] The parameter collection component 500 includes a nose and mouth airflow collection unit 1. Specifically, a corresponding collection circuit board is built in the second main body 10, and this circuit board belongs to the prior art and will not be elaborated here too much. In order for the device to fit with the upper part of the lips, the middle part of the upper edge of the collection main body 1 forms an arc part 16 towards the inside corresponding to the front part of the nasal tip.

Among them, the first thermocouple 11 and the second thermocouple 12 are used to measure the airflow data of two nostrils, and the third thermocouple 13 is used to measure the airflow data of the mouth. The basic principle of the thermocouple is that a closed loop is composed of two conductors of different compositions of materials, and when there is a temperature difference at the two joints, there will be current flowing through the loop, and at this time, there is a thermal electromotive force (Seebeck effect) between the two ends. The analog-to-digital converter can convert the analog signal (voltage) into a digital signal, that is, convert the electromotive force generated by the thermocouple due to the airflow of the mouth and nose into a digital signal, which can then be displayed and processed and analyzed by the host computer. The data collected by the thermocouple is mainly the airflow of the mouth and nose, that is, the breathing airflow conditions of the mouth and nose parts, and corresponding signals are generated according to the size and heat of the airflow.

[0051] A sound pickup hole 15 with a built-in microphone, and the sound pickup hole 15 is located in the middle of the second body 10; the microphone is used to collect the nasal airflow data and snoring data of the subject. Further, in order to improve the sound pickup performance of the microphone, a diversion groove 14 is also provided on the surface of the second body 10, and one end of the diversion groove 14 is located on the upper edge of the second body 10, and the other end is communicated with the sound pickup hole 15.

[0052] The main patch unit 2 forms a transmission loop with the mouth and nose airflow collection unit 1 through the first wire 100; specifically, the main patch unit 2 includes a first body 21 with a built-in circuit board, and a first wire 100 is provided on each side of the first body 21, and the two first wires 100 are respectively connected to both sides of the mouth and nose airflow collection unit 1.

[0053] Multiple collection units 7, the collection unit 7 includes a collection head 71, a groove 73 is provided in the middle of the collection head 71, and a first collection electrode 74 is fixedly embedded in the groove 73; a second wire 72 is provided at the tail of the collection head 71 and is electrically connected to the first collection electrode 74.

[0054] In this solution, the collection unit 7 is set to nine, namely the first electroencephalogram collection unit 31, the second electroencephalogram collection unit 32, and the third electroencephalogram collection unit 33 that are electrically connected to the main patch unit 2, which are used to collect electroencephalogram data; the first electrooculogram collection unit 41 and the second electrooculogram collection unit 42 that are electrically connected to the main patch unit 2, which are installed and attached to the outer canthus of the eye and are used to collect electrooculogram. The first postauricular collection unit 51 and the second postauricular collection unit 52 that are respectively connected to the first wire 100 through the bifurcated member 200; they are installed and attached to the mastoid behind the ear and are used to collect data behind the ear. The first submandibular collection unit 61 and the second submandibular collection unit 62 that are connected to the first wire 100 through the bifurcated member 200.

[0055] The second collection electrodes 74 of the first electroencephalogram collection unit 31, the second electroencephalogram collection unit 32, and the third electroencephalogram collection unit 33 are sintered electrodes.

During use, the sub-button of the button electrode is pasted at the monitoring point, and then the mother-button of the button electrode is buckled on the sub-button of the button electrode.

[0056] In this solution, the nose and mouth airflow collection unit 1 is installed above the lips, and the main patch unit 2 is installed above the forehead. By integrating the nose and mouth airflow, electroencephalogram, electromyogram, and electrooculogram into a collection source to replace the existing scattered installation of collection conductors, the installation steps of the monitoring system during use can be effectively reduced, the use efficiency of the monitoring system can be improved. At the same time, optimizing the number of integrated collection conductors can improve the comfort of the subject during use.

[0057] The above embodiments only represent the specific implementation manners of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
