[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an umbrella carrying reminder device includes a rain sensor mechanism 4 arranged outdoors and a processing terminal 1, a monitoring module and a reminder module 3 arranged indoors;

[0029] The rain sensing mechanism 4 is used to collect rain signals;

[0030] The monitoring module includes an umbrella detection mechanism 2 and an exit detection mechanism 5, wherein the umbrella detection mechanism 2 includes a weight sensor and the exit detection mechanism 5 includes an infrared transceiver mechanism;

[0031] The reminder module 3 includes a signal indicator light module and a voice broadcast module;

[0032] The rain sensing mechanism 4 , the weight sensor, the infrared transceiver mechanism, the signal indicator light module and the voice broadcast module are respectively in communication with the processing terminal 1 .

[0033] In this way, when it rains, it can accurately detect the raining period, detect whether the owner goes out, and whether he brings an umbrella when going out. When it detects that it is raining, the signal indicator light module lights up to remind the owner to bring an umbrella. When it rains and the owner goes out without an umbrella, the voice broadcast module runs to give a voice prompt to the owner.

[0034] Specifically, the rain sensing mechanism 4 includes a rain sensor and a signal conditioning and comparison circuit. The rain sensor is arranged outdoors. The signal conditioning and comparison circuit is used to output a low level or a high level to the processing terminal 1.

[0035] At the same time, the signal conditioning and comparison circuit includes a P3 connector connected to the rain sensor signal, the pin 2 of the P3 connector is connected to the pin 3 signal of the U4 comparator, and the pin 1 of the U4 comparator is used as a level output end to output a high level or a low level to the processing terminal 1.

[0036] Furthermore, the weight sensor is an HX711 weighing sensor.

[0037] At the same time, the infrared transceiver mechanism includes a first infrared transceiver module close to the inside of the door and a second infrared transceiver module close to the outside of the door.

[0038] Furthermore, the first infrared transceiver module includes a first infrared transmitter and a first infrared receiver, and the second infrared transceiver module includes a second infrared transmitter and a second infrared receiver;

[0039] The first infrared transceiver module and the second infrared transceiver module are arranged in parallel.

[0040] Thus, in more detail, when detecting rain, the rain sensor is used to contact rain to determine whether it is raining. When there is no rain, the resistance across the rain sensor is infinite. When rain falls on the sensor, the resistance across the rain sensor is small.

[0041] The signal conditioning and comparison circuit is placed indoors. When there is no rain, the signal conditioning and comparison circuit outputs a high level, and when there is rain, the signal conditioning and comparison circuit outputs a low level, and outputs the signal to the processing terminal 1.

[0042] When detecting the taking and placing of umbrellas, the umbrellas are placed by the door to facilitate entering and placing the umbrellas. The umbrella taking and placing detection device is actually a weight sensor in which the umbrellas can be placed. When an umbrella is taken out, the weight decreases, and when an umbrella is put in, the weight increases. The increase and decrease in weight can be used to know whether an umbrella is taken or placed.

[0043] Furthermore, the umbrella placement detection is not based on absolute weight, but rather on relative weight. For example, an increase in weight is considered an umbrella placement, while a decrease in weight is considered an umbrella removal.

[0044] In this way, no matter how many umbrellas are placed, the accurate detection of umbrella placement and removal will not be affected.

[0045] When detecting door entry and exit, a first infrared transceiver module and a second infrared transceiver module are installed at each end of the door. When no one is passing through, the first and second infrared receivers receive infrared light and output a low level. When someone passes through, the first and second infrared receivers do not receive infrared light and output a high level. If the second infrared receiver is high first and then the first infrared receiver is high within 10 seconds, it is considered an entry. If the first infrared receiver is high first and then the second infrared receiver is high within 10 seconds, it is considered an exit.

[0046] As for the power supply of the whole machine, it can be powered by batteries or by AC power via a power adapter.

[0047] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
