[0027] The wearable environmental monitoring device according to embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features of the following embodiments and implementations can complement or combine with each other.

[0028] This application provides a wearable environmental monitoring device, including a housing, a processor, a memory, a sensor assembly, and a power supply assembly located within the housing.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 10 is provided with at least one first through hole 11 and at least one second through hole 12, and the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12 are located in different planes, and ambient air can enter and exit the housing 10 through the first through hole 11 and the second through hole 12.

[0030] like Figure 5As shown, the sensor component 22 is used to collect environmental parameters, and the processor 21 is used to process the environmental parameters and interact with other components. The memory 23 is used to store various types of data, including the environmental parameters and any application or method instructions used for operation on the wearable environmental monitoring device. The sensor component 22 includes a temperature and humidity sensor 211 for detecting the temperature and humidity of the environment. The power supply component 24 provides power to other components and may include a power management system and one or more power supplies.

[0031] The wearable environmental monitoring device of this application is small in size, highly integrated, and easy to carry. The temperature and humidity sensor 211 can detect the temperature and humidity of the environment in real time. In both indoor and outdoor scenarios, the wearable environmental monitoring device can sense the temperature, humidity, and light conditions of the user's environment to assess whether the environment meets health requirements and provide appropriate strategies for clothing, travel, and environmental adjustment, effectively improving life comfort and health protection. The first through-hole 11 and the second through-hole 12, located on different planes, ensure that ambient air can smoothly enter and exit the housing 10 from multiple directions, greatly improving the air exchange efficiency inside the housing 10. This allows the temperature and humidity sensor 211 to detect the current ambient air temperature and humidity in real time, which helps improve the accuracy and reliability of the collected environmental parameters.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 10 includes a front cover 101, a rear cover 102, and a side wall 103 connecting the front cover 101 and the rear cover 102. A first through hole 11 is provided in the front cover 101, and a second through hole 12 is provided in the side wall 103. The first through hole 11 in the front cover 101 and the second through hole 12 in the side wall 103 cooperate with each other to promote continuous air circulation inside and outside the housing 10, effectively preventing air stagnation areas inside the housing 10 and ensuring that the temperature and humidity sensor 211 can instantly sense dynamic changes in environmental parameters.

[0033] In one embodiment, the housing 10 further includes a clamping plate 13, one end of which is connected to the rear cover 102 via an elastic element. The other end of the clamping plate 13 can move away from and towards the rear cover 102. Under the force of the elastic element, clothing or other items can be clamped between the clamping plate 13 and the rear cover 102, thereby making it easy and quick to wear the wearable environmental monitoring device. Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the elastic element is a spring.

[0034] In one embodiment, the clamp 13 is arc-shaped, which helps to increase the stability and comfort of the wearable environmental monitoring device when worn.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 10 also includes an eyeglasses hook 14, one end of which is connected to the back cover, and the other end is bent to form a snap-fit ​​portion 141. Users can fix the wearable environmental monitoring device to the eyeglasses holder via the snap-fit ​​portion 141 of the eyeglasses hook 14.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing 10 is also provided with a hanging loop 15, which allows the user to wear the wearable environmental monitoring device by passing a lanyard through the hanging loop 15.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the wearable environmental monitoring device also includes an input / output interface 16. The processor 21 can transmit data with external devices through the input / output interface 16, and the power supply component 24 can be charged through the input / output interface 16. In some embodiments, the input / output interface 16 is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. The USB interface is located on the side wall at the bottom of the housing 10. The wearable environmental monitoring device can be connected to a computer or mobile terminal via the USB interface and a data cable to transmit data and obtain environmental parameters.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the housing 10 also includes an indicator light 17, which indicates the power status of the power supply component 24. The color and on / off state of the indicator light 17 can be specifically set according to the current working state or power status of the wearable environmental monitoring device. For example, when the wearable environmental monitoring device has a low battery or is being charged but not fully charged, the indicator light 17 will be red; when the wearable environmental monitoring device has a sufficient battery or is fully charged, the indicator light 17 will be off. When the wearable environmental monitoring device is connected to an external device, the indicator light 17 will be green; after the connection is disconnected, the indicator light 17 will be off.

[0039] In the embodiment shown in the figure, the indicator light 17 and the input / output interface 16 are jointly disposed on the side wall of the bottom wall of the housing 10, which makes the appearance of the wearable environmental monitoring device neat and compact.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sensor assembly 22 further includes a spectral sensor 222, which is used to detect ambient light. The processor 21 can process the light parameters detected by the spectral sensor 222 to obtain information such as ambient light illuminance, physiological equivalent illuminance, rhythmic stimulus factor, chromaticity coordinates, correlated color temperature, and color rendering index.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 10 is also provided with a light homogenizer 18, through which ambient light can be irradiated onto the spectral sensor 222. The light homogenizer 18 can effectively homogenize the light passing through it, ensuring that the light irradiating the spectral sensor 222 is uniform and consistent. This improves the quality of the light received by the spectral sensor 222 and avoids data deviation caused by uneven light.

[0042] In one embodiment, the light diffuser 18 is disposed on the front cover 101 of the housing 10, and the front cover 101 is located on the front of the housing 10, which can receive ambient light to the maximum extent, so that the device can perceive the ambient light more widely and comprehensively.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the sensor assembly 22 further includes an accelerometer 223. The accelerometer 223 can accurately sense changes in the user's motion state in real time. In some embodiments, the accelerometer 223 is a triaxial accelerometer.

[0044] In some embodiments, sensor assembly 22 may also include other types of sensors, such as particulate matter sensors, geomagnetic sensors, etc.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the wearable environmental monitoring device also includes a communication component 25, which transmits environmental parameters processed by the processor 21 to an external device. The wearable environmental monitoring device can access wireless networks based on communication standards, such as WiFi, 3G, 4G, 5G, and other communication standards, through the communication component 25. In some embodiments, the communication component 25 includes a near-field communication (NFC) module to facilitate short-range communication. For example, the NFC module may be based on radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, Infrared Data Association (IrDA) technology, ultra-wideband (UWB) technology, Bluetooth (BT) technology, and other technologies.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the wearable environmental monitoring device also includes a peripheral interface component 19, which is electrically connected to the processor 21 and used to control the working state of the wearable environmental monitoring device. The peripheral interface component 19 can be a button, click wheel, knob, etc. In the embodiment shown, the peripheral interface component 19 is a circular button, which allows switching the working mode of the wearable environmental monitoring device.

[0047] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
