[0002] With the development of automotive intelligence, monitoring the health status of drivers has become an important research subject for ensuring driving safety. In existing technologies, some vehicles monitor drivers' physiological signals through wearable devices, but these suffer from problems such as inconvenience in wearing them and susceptibility to interference. Furthermore, biosensors integrated into the steering wheel often experience unstable data due to the complex electromagnetic environment and ambient light interference. For example, the invention patent with publication number CN116616728A discloses a steering wheel for monitoring physiological signals. This steering wheel acquires the driver's electromyography (EMG) signals through an EMG sensor on one side of the grip and the driver's blood oxygen and heart rate signals through a blood oxygen and heart rate sensor on the other side. This invention patent's technical solution suffers from the aforementioned problems of unstable data due to complex electromagnetic environments and ambient light interference. In addition, traditional in-vehicle oxygen supply systems lack intelligent linkage with driver physiological status monitoring, making it difficult to respond promptly to hypoxia caused by altitude sickness or fatigue, posing a driving safety hazard.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] To make the technical problems solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0017] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the anti-interference biosignal detection steering wheel provided by this utility model embodiment includes a steering wheel body 1, and biosignal detection components 2 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the center of the wheel rim 3 of the steering wheel body 1. This ensures that the driver can reliably contact the biosignal detection components 2 when holding the wheel rim 3 of the steering wheel body 1. The biosignal detection components 2 include a mounting groove 203, which is embedded and fixed in the wheel rim 3. A multi-wavelength optical sensor 204 and a flexible circuit board 20 are arranged in the mounting groove 203. 5. Light-transmitting cover plate 202; A first electromagnetic shielding layer 206 is laid at the bottom of the mounting groove 203, and a flexible circuit board 205 is laid on top of the first electromagnetic shielding layer 206. The multi-wavelength optical sensor 204 is attached to the flexible circuit board 205 and integrated with the flexible circuit board 205. The light-transmitting cover plate 202 is located above the multi-wavelength optical sensor 204 and fixed at the upper port of the mounting groove 203. A second electromagnetic shielding layer 201 is provided on the lower surface of the light-transmitting cover plate 202 facing the multi-wavelength optical sensor 204.

[0018] Specifically, the first electromagnetic shielding layer 206 is made of conductive cloth or aluminum foil, which is bonded to the bottom of the mounting groove 203 with conductive adhesive; the second electromagnetic shielding layer 201 is made of flexible transparent electromagnetic shielding film, which is bonded to the lower surface of the light-transmitting cover 202 facing the multi-wavelength optical sensor 204 with conductive adhesive; through the first electromagnetic shielding layer 206 and the second electromagnetic shielding layer 201, electromagnetic interference generated by ambient light, vehicle vibration, and in-vehicle electrical equipment can be effectively eliminated during the signal acquisition process of the multi-wavelength optical sensor 204, thereby effectively improving the stability, reliability, and accuracy of the multi-wavelength optical sensor 204 in detecting and acquiring physiological signals such as driver's blood oxygen saturation and heart rate. The multi-wavelength optical sensor 204 includes a red LED with a wavelength of 660nm, an infrared LED with a wavelength of 940nm, a green LED with a wavelength of 530nm, and a blue LED with a wavelength of 470nm.

[0019] Specifically, an electric heating wire 4 is installed inside the wheel rim 3 below the biosignal detection component; a temperature sensor is also installed inside the wheel rim 3 next to the electric heating wire 4. The signal transmission end of the temperature sensor is connected to the signal transmission end of the vehicle ECU 6 inside the vehicle, and the vehicle ECU 6 is connected to the vehicle's central control screen 5. Through the touch setting function of the vehicle's central control screen 5, a comfortable grip temperature suitable for the driver can be set. Through the combined design of the biosignal detection component 2 and the electric heating wire 4, the multi-wavelength optical sensor 204 can maintain its working performance in low-temperature environments, while improving the driver's grip comfort.

[0020] Specifically, the light-transmitting cover 202 is made of light-transmitting silicone, polyurethane, or TPU. The upper surface of the light-transmitting cover 202 is arc-shaped to ensure that it matches the arc design of the wheel rim 3 of the steering wheel body 1. This ensures the overall appearance consistency and grip comfort of the wheel rim 3. Among them, high-end models prefer silicone material for the light-transmitting cover 202 because of its excellent light transmittance, flexibility, and high temperature resistance, which is suitable for the integration of high-precision multi-wavelength optical sensors 204. Mid-range models recommend TPU material for the light-transmitting cover 202 because of its excellent light transmittance and wear resistance, and moderate processing difficulty, which is suitable for mass production. Low-end models can choose polyurethane material for the light-transmitting cover 202, which meets basic performance requirements while reducing manufacturing costs, making it the preferred low-cost solution.

[0021] In addition, combined Figure 3The diagram shows the structure of an in-vehicle oxygen supply system. This embodiment of the present invention provides an in-vehicle oxygen supply system, including the multi-wavelength optical sensor 204 for the anti-interference biosignal detection steering wheel, and an in-vehicle oxygen generator 7, an in-vehicle ECU 6, and an in-vehicle central control screen 5 installed in the vehicle. The signal transmission end of the multi-wavelength optical sensor 204 for the anti-interference biosignal detection steering wheel is wirelessly connected to the signal transmission end of the in-vehicle ECU 6. The control signal output end of the in-vehicle ECU 6 is connected to the in-vehicle oxygen generator 7, and the in-vehicle central control screen 5 is connected to the in-vehicle ECU 6.

[0022] The multi-wavelength optical sensor 204 can detect and collect physiological signals such as the driver's blood oxygen saturation and heart rate in real time, and transmit these signals to the vehicle ECU 6. After analysis and processing by the vehicle ECU 6, the driver's blood oxygen saturation and heart rate data can be displayed in real time on the vehicle's central control screen 5. Simultaneously, the vehicle ECU 6 can determine whether the driver's blood oxygen saturation and heart rate data are within normal ranges. If abnormal conditions are detected (such as fatigue driving or altitude sickness during high-altitude driving), the vehicle ECU 6 automatically controls the vehicle's oxygen generator 7 to start working. After the vehicle's oxygen generator 7 releases sufficient oxygen into the vehicle, the driver's physiological indicators can return to normal. Once the driver's physiological indicators have returned to normal, the vehicle ECU 6 automatically controls the vehicle's oxygen generator 7 to stop working. Alternatively, when the driver's blood oxygen saturation and heart rate are normal, the vehicle's oxygen generator 7 can be manually turned on to obtain sufficient oxygen, maintain a better mental state, and ensure safe driving.

Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to this utility model to achieve the same technical effect; as long as the use needs are met, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
