[0025] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example:

[0027] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 The intelligent sensor disclosed in the utility model includes a housing 1, a mounting frame 5 is provided outside the housing 1, a mounting groove 6 is provided inside the housing 1, and two support frames 7 for mounting a circuit board 2 are symmetrically provided in the mounting groove 6;

[0028] Circuit board 2, both sides of the circuit board 2 are fixedly connected to the support frame 7, and the side walls of the circuit board 2 are provided with a chip for processing sensor signals;

[0029] The infrared sensor 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the circuit board 2 facing away from the chip;

[0030] The millimeter-wave radar assembly 4 consists of a millimeter-wave radar sensor 41, a turntable 42 and a driver 43. The turntable 42 is rotatably set on the top of the shell 1, and the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41 is embedded in the outer wall of the turntable 42. The bottom of the turntable 42 is connected to the inner wall of the shell 1 through a driving assembly.

[0031] In this embodiment, therefore, the Figure 1 - Figure 3 It can be found that an installation groove 6 is opened in the shell 1, and two support frames 7 for installing the circuit board 2 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the installation groove 6. It can be used to install the circuit board 2 for processing sensor signals in the shell 1, so that when the sensor sends a signal, the signal can be efficiently analyzed through the circuit board 2, which is used to link the smart sensor with the smart home.

[0032] By fixing an infrared sensor 3 on one side of the circuit board 2, the infrared sensor 3 can be used to capture the signal emitted by the human body when the human body passes by the smart sensor, so as to detect the movement of the human body and thus control the linkage of the smart home.

[0033] Since the principle of most human body sensors on the market is the pyroelectric effect, it detects the changes in infrared rays caused by human movement. Objects or creatures with a temperature close to that of the human body, such as pets such as cats and dogs, radiators, car lights, etc., can also falsely trigger human body sensors. Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be found that a turntable 42 is rotatably provided on the top of the shell 1, and a millimeter-wave radar sensor 41 is embedded in the outer wall of the turntable 42. When the infrared sensor 3 detects that a human body is moving, the driver 43 pushes the turntable 42 to rotate, so that the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41 captures the specific position of the human body, which can be used to locate the human body. At the same time, it can also avoid false alarms of the infrared sensor 3, thereby effectively improving the monitoring accuracy of the smart sensor and effectively improving the practicality of the smart sensor.

[0034] To sum up, when using the smart sensor, first fix the shell 1 through the mounting bracket 5, and then adjust the shell 1 to a suitable angle so that the infrared sensor 3 in the shell 1 continuously monitors the surrounding environment. After receiving the infrared signal, the infrared sensor 3 sends a signal to the circuit board 2, and then the circuit board 2 controls the driver 43 to push the turntable 42 to rotate and adjust the position of the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41. The millimeter-wave radar sensor 41 is used to perform a second confirmation on the area where the infrared sensor 3 receives the signal. If the human body is not scanned, the circuit board 2 will not send a signal to control the smart home linkage. If the human body is scanned, the monitoring accuracy of the smart sensor can be accurately improved through double confirmation, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the smart sensor.

[0035] Since the driver 43 will track the infrared source under the feedback of the infrared sensor 3, when a human body passes through the monitoring area of ​​the smart sensor, the monitoring area of ​​the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41 will stay at the place where the person disappears. Then, when the person returns, the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41 will first detect the human body feedback, and then directly send a signal to the circuit board 2, so that the circuit board 2 can be linked to the smart home in the room, which can improve the sensitivity of the smart sensor to a certain extent and further improve the practicality of the smart sensor.

[0036] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, a signal window 8 is provided on the side of the outer wall of the housing 1 close to the infrared sensor 3 , and a protective shell 9 with a wall thickness smaller than that of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the signal window 8 .

[0037] In this embodiment, by providing a signal window 8 on the side of the housing 1 close to the infrared sensor 3, the blocking of the infrared source by the housing 1 can be reduced, thereby improving the accuracy of the infrared sensor 3 and enhancing the sensitivity of the smart sensor.

[0038] By providing a protective shell 9 with a wall thickness smaller than that of the housing 1 , the components in the housing 1 can be protected while minimizing interference with the infrared source, thereby effectively increasing the service life of the smart sensor.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 - Figure 4 As shown, the drive assembly includes a motor 431 and a gear 432. The bottom protrusion of the turntable 42 is formed with an annular portion 10 that fits against the inner wall of the housing 1. The motor 431 is fixedly connected to the bottom edge of the annular portion 10. The output shaft of the motor 431 is fixedly connected to the gear 432. The inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a tooth groove 11 that meshes with the gear 432.

[0040] The outer wall of the annular portion 10 is fixedly connected to a limit block 12 on one side close to the millimeter wave radar sensor 41. The limit block 12 is arranged in the signal window 8. The center of the limit block 12, the annular portion 10 and the motor 431 are on the same straight line.

[0041] In this embodiment, by setting up the motor 431 and gear 432, when the infrared sensor 3 detects an infrared source, the circuit board 2 controls the motor 431 to drive the gear 432 to rotate, so that the gear 432 moves along the tooth groove 11, thereby rotating the turntable 42, thereby adjusting the directional monitoring area of ​​the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41, and effectively improving the positioning speed of the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41, thereby improving the feedback sensitivity of the intelligent sensor.

[0042] By connecting a limit block 12 to the side of the annular portion 10 near the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41 and positioning the limit block 12 within the signal window 8, the scanning range of the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41 can be aligned with the coverage range of the infrared sensor 3, preventing meaningless rotation of the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41 and effectively improving the practicality of the millimeter-wave radar sensor 41. Furthermore, by aligning the center of the limit block 12, the annular portion 10, and the motor 431, the motor 431 is always located on the opposite side of the limit block 12, preventing the gear 432 from entering the signal window 8 and causing the driver 43 to malfunction, effectively ensuring the rotational stability of the turntable 42.

[0043] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the mounting frame 5 includes a connecting rod 51, a ball sleeve 52 and a mounting seat 53. The connecting rod 51 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 1. The end of the connecting rod 51 is provided with a ball head 13 and is sleeved with the ball sleeve 52. The side of the ball sleeve 52 away from the connecting rod 51 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 53.

[0044] A gap is left between the ball head 13 and the ball sleeve 52 , and the gap is filled with damping oil. A rubber gasket 14 in contact with the surface of the ball head 13 is fixedly connected to the opening of the ball sleeve 52 .

[0045] In this embodiment, the housing 1 can be fixedly connected to the wall by the mounting base 53, which is convenient for the installation of the smart sensor. However, since the coverage range of the smart sensor varies according to its installation height, the housing 1 needs to adjust the scanning angle according to the installation position to ensure the operation stability of the smart sensor. Figure 5 It can be found that a ball head 13 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 51, and a ball sleeve 52 for connecting the ball head 13 is fixedly provided on the mounting seat 53, so that the scanning angle can be freely adjusted after the smart sensor is fixed, thereby improving the practicality of the smart sensor.

[0046] Since the housing 1 and the components inside the housing 1 have weight, the connecting rod 51 will rotate with the ball head 13 in the ball sleeve 52 under the action of gravity, affecting the stability of the smart sensor. Figure 5 It can be found that a gap is left between the ball head 13 and the ball sleeve 52, and the gap is filled with high-viscosity damping oil. When the ball head 13 is pressed down and rotated by the weight of the shell 1, it is blocked by the damping oil, providing a supporting effect for the shell 1, making the use of the smart sensor more stable.

[0047] Since the existence of the gap may cause leakage of the damping oil, a rubber gasket 14 in contact with the surface of the ball head 13 is fixedly connected to the opening of the ball sleeve 52 to prevent leakage of the damping oil and effectively ensure the support stability of the mounting frame 5.

[0048] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model.
