[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments. The description of the embodiments below is only for the purpose of helping to understand the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0029] As one example, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a modular environment detector for individual soldier operations includes:

[0030] Detachable detection module 4, detector housing 5, and internal circuit board 6;

[0031] The internal circuit board 6 is located inside the detector housing 5, and the detachable detection module 4 is installed on the detector housing 5. Both the internal circuit board 6 and the detachable detection module 4 are communicatively connected to the detector housing 5.

[0032] In addition, a helmet securing clip 3 is included, which is mounted on the detector housing 5; the environmental detector is mounted on the helmet via the helmet securing clip 3. For example, the clip can fix the detector to the side rim or chest pocket of the helmet, making it convenient for workers to wear and use.

[0033] In addition, it includes a display screen 1 and control buttons 2; the display screen 1 and control buttons 2 are fixed to the detector housing 5 by screws, and the display screen 1 is communicatively connected to the internal circuit board 6. For example, the display screen 1 is an LCD display screen, used to clearly display environmental information collection results, equipment status, and other information, providing intuitive visual feedback.

[0034] The detector housing 5 has two USB-A female connectors on its base. The internal circuit board 6 is directly connected to the USB-A female connectors and processes the information transmitted by the detachable detection module 4. The detachable detection module 4 is connected to the female connectors via a USB-A male connector. If replacement is needed, such as... Figure 4 As shown, this application enables the sensor module to be hot-swapped and switched at any time via the UART protocol and USB interface.

[0035] Figure 4 This is the reset module. VDD_EXT serves as the external power input, providing power to the entire circuit board. The RESET_N pin is used for module reset. When this pin is pulled low, the module enters sleep mode, where only the AGPIO and WKUP pins are available; all other I / O ports are powered down. Furthermore, the BOOT pin is designed to allow users to force the module into USB download mode by pulling this pin high and briefly pressing the reset button at a specific time, facilitating software updates and maintenance. During hot-swapping, there is a possibility that the system needs to be reinitialized; a reset helps to resynchronize the system state.

[0036] also, Figure 5 It is a USB interface module. The two capacitors on the right side are to prevent surges and static electricity generated during hot-plugging, thereby protecting the circuit.

[0037] The device provided in this application also includes an antenna; the antenna is communicatively connected to the internal circuit board 6. This application can process the data transmitted by the detachable detection module 4 via the USB-A interface and split it into two paths, sending them to the display screen 1 and the antenna respectively. The collected data can be transmitted to the cloud via the antenna, thereby achieving dual monitoring at both the local and cloud levels.

[0038] Furthermore, this application is equipped with a TYPE-C interface, providing a convenient charging and data transfer method, enhancing the device's compatibility and ease of operation, and facilitating user connection to external devices or power sources. Simultaneously, the device utilizes a high-efficiency battery as its energy supply unit, providing continuous and stable power support for the entire system, ensuring continued operation during extended use.

[0039] The number of detachable detection modules 4 can be two, each responsible for monitoring different environmental parameters, such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure. These chips use high-precision sensors and advanced signal processing technology to collect ambient environmental information in real time and accurately, and transmit the data to the information processing and communication chip for further processing.

[0040] The information processing and communication chip on the internal circuit board 6, as the core component of the device, is responsible for receiving data from the environmental information acquisition chip and processing and analyzing it. Simultaneously, this chip supports multiple communication protocols and frequency bands, including mobile communication and positioning functions via a SIM card and GPS antenna, and high-speed data transmission via an LTE antenna. These functions enable the device to send the collected environmental information to a remote server or user terminal in real time, achieving remote monitoring and data sharing.

[0041] In addition, the addition of a SIM card, GPS antenna, and LTE antenna further enhances the device's communication capabilities and positioning accuracy. Users can achieve mobile communication functions through the SIM card, while the GPS antenna provides precise positioning services.

[0042] Specifically, Figure 6 This is a multiplexer module with signal selection functionality, meaning it selects one signal from multiple sensors or signal sources to transmit to a common output. For example, it selects different sensor data to transmit to the central processing unit. In this circuit, data from sensor 1 and sensor 2 are received through interfaces MAIN RXD10, MAIN RXD11, and MAIN TXD10, MAIN TXD11, respectively. The chip (multiplexer) in the diagram selects whether to transmit the data from sensor 1 or sensor 2 to the main controller.

[0043] Figure 7 The main controller module receives data from various sensors (such as gas concentration and GPS location information), processes and analyzes it, and controls the display screen to show relevant information according to preset logic. It also transmits data to a remote server via the network module and, when necessary, drives buzzers and small motors to issue alarms. The Air780 module communicates and interacts with other components in the circuit diagram through interfaces (such as USART, I2C, and GPIO) to achieve comprehensive control and monitoring of the entire gas detector system.
