TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of old people's care, and specifically to a fixed intelligent old people's care device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In related technologies, with the intensification of social aging, the health and safety monitoring of the elderly has been widely concerned by society. Traditional old people's care methods rely on manpower, such as daily care by children or caregivers. This method not only has high costs, but also is difficult to achieve all-weather monitoring. With the development of technology, intelligent old people's care devices have emerged as the times require, aiming to improve the quality of life and safety level of the elderly through technical means.
[0003] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that at least the following problems exist in related technologies:
[0004] Existing intelligent old people's care devices usually include various sensors and communication modules for monitoring the physiological parameters, activity status, and surrounding environment of the elderly. However, these devices have some limitations, such as limited monitoring range, poor environmental adaptability, and inconvenient installation and maintenance. SUMMARY
[0005] The utility model aims to provide a fixed intelligent old people's care device to solve the problems raised in the background.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a fixed intelligent old people's care device includes a fixed shell, and various functional modules are integrated inside the shell, including a multi-modal sensor module, a communication module, and a power module. These modules work together to provide comprehensive technical support for old people's care.
[0007] In the multi-modal sensor module, we use advanced millimeter wave radar technology, which can accurately detect the small movements and position changes of the elderly. In addition, environmental sensors can monitor key parameters such as temperature and humidity in the environment where the elderly are located in real time, and microphone arrays are responsible for capturing sound information in the environment, providing comprehensive environmental and behavioral data for caregivers.
[0008] To better monitor and record the activities of the elderly, a high-definition camera is specially designed on the lower side of the fixed shell. The camera can capture real-time activity pictures of the elderly and record them, providing intuitive visual materials for subsequent analysis and monitoring. The upper side of the shell is provided with a connecting frame, which is cleverly arranged on the outer moving plate of the horizontal moving device. The horizontal moving device is fixedly installed on the wall, which can ensure the stability and flexibility of the device.
[0009] The connection frame is also specially equipped with a powerful controller and an alarm. The controller serves as the hub of the entire device and is electrically connected to the multi-modal sensor module, the communication module, the power module, the camera, and the alarm, ensuring the coordinated operation of the entire system. When an abnormal situation is detected, the alarm can send out a timely warning to remind the caregivers to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the elderly.
[0010] In the device, the millimeter wave radar uses the 60GHz frequency band, which has characteristics that allow the radar to achieve high-precision detection. Its detection range can cover a distance of 5 to 8 meters, providing enough space for caregivers to ensure the safety of the monitored object. In addition, the millimeter wave radar is not limited to detecting distance; it can also output human posture parameters, including body posture, movement, and other information. With these detailed data support, caregivers can more accurately understand the status of the monitored person, providing more accurate data support for monitoring work.
[0011] The environmental sensors consist of temperature and humidity sensors, smoke sensors, and CO concentration sensors, which together form a comprehensive environmental monitoring system. The temperature and humidity sensor monitors changes in temperature and humidity in the environment, the smoke sensor detects the concentration of smoke in the air, and the CO concentration sensor is specifically designed to detect the concentration of carbon monoxide. These sensors are responsible for receiving various signals in the environment and transmitting them to the communication module. The communication module, as the hub of data transmission, is responsible for transmitting the collected environmental data in real time to the monitoring center to monitor the safety of the environment in which the elderly live. Through such a system, caregivers can timely understand the conditions of the environment in which the elderly live, and take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the elderly.
[0012] The communication module has Wi-Fi and 4G dual-mode transmission functions, which allows it to efficiently establish stable connections with family smart terminal devices and community monitoring platforms, ensuring real-time information transmission and rapid processing, greatly improving monitoring efficiency and response speed.
[0013] In the structural design of the connection frame, a support frame is specially added, and a drive motor is installed on the support frame. The rotating shaft of the drive motor is closely connected to the fixed shell, and the camera and the shell are in coaxial state, so that the monitoring device can accurately aim at the activity area of the elderly, realizing detailed observation and effective monitoring of the daily activities of the elderly.
[0014] The camera is tilted and its lens is aimed at the main activity area of the elderly, so as to capture the activities of the elderly and provide intuitive visual information for guardianship. This setting ensures that the camera can cover the main area of the elderly's daily activities, so that the guardians can better understand the dynamics of the elderly through the real-time picture provided by the camera, and ensure the safety and health of the elderly.
[0015] The fixed shell and the number of cameras are set according to the needs of the elderly in each space, so as to realize all-round guardianship. By installing appropriate number of cameras and shells in each area of the elderly's activities, a comprehensive monitoring network can be built to ensure that the activities of the elderly in any corner can be captured by the monitoring system, so as to provide a safer and more comfortable living environment for the elderly.
[0016] The design of the lateral movement device allows it to have multiple installation methods to adapt to different use environments and needs. It can be implemented as an electric single-axis drive or an electric slide rail, both of which can provide smooth and precise lateral movement function. The inner wall of the device is specially designed with a wall hanging plate, which can be easily hung on various walls, so that the entire lateral movement device can be flexibly installed in different positions. This design not only improves the applicability of the device, but also provides great convenience for users, so that users can install the device in any suitable place according to their actual needs, whether it is a home environment or an entertainment venue.
[0017] The controller is responsible for executing an advanced fall detection model based on long short-term memory network. The input data of this model is not limited to traditional radar signals, but also integrates acceleration features, which significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of fall detection. Through this comprehensive data processing method, the system can more accurately identify fall events, thereby providing safer and more reliable monitoring for users.
[0018] The alarm can be designed flexibly, which can be a simple buzzer, a flashing light, or further integrating the buzzer and the flashlight into a multifunctional alarm system. Such design makes the alarm can quickly send out an alarm when detecting abnormal conditions such as falls or other emergencies. The timeliness of the alarm is crucial for reminding guardians or family members, which ensures that they can take appropriate measures to prevent possible harm or further danger.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: real-time monitoring. Through the integrated multimodal sensor module, including millimeter-wave radar, environmental sensors and microphone array, the device can monitor the elderly’s activity status and surrounding environment in real time, providing continuous monitoring.
[0020] High-precision detection: The millimeter-wave radar uses the 60GHz frequency band and can cover a detection range of 5 to 8 meters. It also outputs human posture parameters, which helps to accurately monitor the activities and health status of the elderly.
[0021] Environmental monitoring: Environmental sensors can monitor temperature, humidity, smoke, and CO concentration, promptly identifying potential environmental risks and ensuring the safety of the elderly.
[0022] It offers convenient communication, with the communication module supporting Wi-Fi / 4G dual-mode transmission, facilitating connection to family member terminals and community monitoring platforms to enable rapid information transmission and remote monitoring.
[0023] The camera automatically adjusts its viewing angle, tilting and focusing on the elderly person's main activity area to ensure comprehensive monitoring without blind spots.
[0024] Flexible deployment: the fixed housing and the number of cameras can be set in multiple locations to adapt to various spaces where the elderly are active, achieving comprehensive monitoring.
[0025] Mobility: Lateral movement allows the device to move laterally along the wall, expanding the monitoring range and adapting to the monitoring needs of different spaces.
[0026] Intelligent analysis: The controller executes a fall detection model based on a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, which can accurately identify falls and other emergencies and issue timely alarms.
[0027] Easy to alert, the alarm uses a buzzer or flashing light, or a combination of both, to effectively remind the elderly or their families of an emergency.
[0028] Automatic charging and a power module ensure continuous operation of the device, while the wall-mounted design of the lateral movement device facilitates installation and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

The transverse moving device 7 is fixedly installed on the wall, which can ensure the stability and flexibility of the device.
[0038] The connecting frame 6 is also specially equipped with a powerful controller 8 and an alarm 9. The controller 8 serves as the hub of the entire device and is electrically connected with the multi-modal sensor module 2, the communication module 3, the power module 4, the camera 5 and the alarm 9, ensuring the coordinated operation of the entire system. When abnormal conditions are detected, the alarm 9 can send out an alarm in time to remind the caregivers to take appropriate measures, thereby ensuring the safety of the elderly.
[0039] In the device, the millimeter wave radar 2-1 uses a 60GHz frequency band, and the characteristics of this frequency band enable the radar to achieve high-precision detection. Its detection range can cover a distance of 5 to 8 meters, providing enough space for the guardian to ensure the safety of the monitored object. In addition, the millimeter wave radar is not limited to detecting distance, but can also output posture parameters of the human body, including posture, action and other information. With the support of these detailed data, the guardian can more accurately understand the state of the monitored person, thereby providing more accurate data support for the monitoring work.
[0040] The environmental sensor 2-2 is composed of a temperature and humidity sensor, a smoke sensor and a CO concentration sensor, which together form a comprehensive environmental monitoring system. The temperature and humidity sensor is responsible for monitoring the temperature and humidity changes in the environment, the smoke sensor is used to detect the smoke concentration in the air, and the CO concentration sensor is specifically used to detect the concentration of carbon monoxide. These sensors are responsible for receiving various signals in the environment and transmitting them to the communication module 3.

Through such a system, the guardian can timely understand the condition of the environment in which the old people are, so as to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of the old people.
[0041] The communication module 3 has Wi-Fi and 4G dual-mode transmission functions, which enables it to efficiently establish stable connections with the family's intelligent terminal devices and community monitoring platform, thereby ensuring real-time transmission and rapid processing of information, greatly improving the monitoring efficiency and response speed.
[0042] In the structural design of the connecting frame 6, a support frame 10 is specially added, and a drive motor 11 is installed on the support frame 10.

[0043] The camera 5 is tilted and its lens is aimed at the main activity area of the old people, so as to capture the activity of the old people and provide intuitive visual information for monitoring. This setting ensures that the camera can cover the main area of the old people's daily activities, so that the guardian can more clearly understand the dynamics of the old people through the real-time picture provided by the camera, and ensure the safety and health of the old people.
[0044] The fixed shell 1 and the number of cameras 5 are respectively arranged in each space where the old people move according to needs, so as to realize all-round monitoring. By installing a proper number of cameras and shells in each area where the old people move, a comprehensive monitoring network can be constructed, so that no matter where the old people are, their activities can be captured by the monitoring system, thereby providing a safer and more comfortable living environment for the old people.

The inner wall of the device is specially designed with a wall hanging plate 12, which can be easily hung on various walls, so that the entire lateral movement device 7 can be flexibly installed in different positions. This design not only improves the applicability of the device, but also provides great convenience for users, so that users can install the device anywhere they need, whether it is a home environment or an entertainment venue.
[0046] The controller 8 is responsible for executing an advanced fall detection model based on the long short-term memory network (LSTM). The input data of this model is not limited to traditional radar signals, but also integrates acceleration features, which significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of fall detection. Through this comprehensive data processing method, the system can more accurately identify fall events, thereby providing safer and more reliable monitoring for users.
