Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of elderly monitoring technology, and in particular relates to an installation structure for a probe used for elderly monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] As the population ages, the demand for home safety and health monitoring for the elderly is becoming increasingly prominent. As an important support for ensuring the independent living of the elderly, elderly monitoring equipment is being used in more and more scenarios. Among them, the monitoring probe, as the core sensing component of the equipment, needs to be installed stably to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the monitoring data. At the same time, considering the relatively weak operation ability of the elderly and the need for convenient installation in the home environment, the installation structure design of the probe has become a key factor affecting the practicality of the equipment and the user experience.

[0003] Currently, most commercially available probes for elderly monitoring use traditional methods such as bolt fixing or thread tightening. Bolt fixing requires specialized tools like screwdrivers, and the installation process involves precise alignment of the holes and repeated tightening of the bolts, making the operation cumbersome. When elderly people operate alone, it is not only time-consuming but also prone to bolt loosening or insecure installation. Thread tightening requires a high installation angle and requires continuous and stable force during tightening, which is also difficult for elderly people with limited mobility or poor hand coordination. Therefore, a new installation structure for elderly monitoring probes is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for a probe used for monitoring the elderly. By setting a limiting component, specifically, pressing the pressure rod drives the drive sleeve to move. The drive sleeve, through a slider, causes the external threaded groove rod to rotate, which in turn drives the gear to rotate, causing the two limiting brackets to move closer together. At this time, the plug-in seat is inserted into the limiting frame cavity, with the limiting groove located on the outer top of the two limiting brackets. After insertion, the pressure rod is released, and the spring rebounds, causing the two limiting brackets to move away from each other, with their ends inserted into the limiting grooves. This completes the fixed installation of the plug-in seat, adjusting support rod, and detection probe. This solves the problem that currently, most probe installation structures for monitoring the elderly on the market use traditional bolt fixing or thread tightening methods. Bolt fixing requires special tools such as screwdrivers, and the installation process requires precise alignment of the holes and repeated tightening of the bolts, making the operation cumbersome. For elderly people operating alone, this is not only time-consuming but also prone to bolt loosening or insecure installation. Thread tightening requires a high installation angle and requires continuous and stable force during tightening, which also presents a problem of high operational difficulty for elderly people with limited mobility or poor hand coordination.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to an installation structure for a probe used for monitoring the elderly. It includes a supporting carrier fixing plate with a connector on its front side, and an installation mechanism on the front side of the fixing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the positioning component includes two positioning strips fixed to the inner wall of the limiting frame. The left and right sides of the plug-in base are provided with positioning grooves. The interior of the two positioning grooves is slidably connected to the outer surface of the positioning strips. The positioning grooves and positioning strips provide positioning and guidance for the installation of the plug-in base.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving component includes a gear, which is disposed inside the cavity on the back of the partition plate. The outer surface of the gear is meshed with the corresponding side of the bottom of the two limiting brackets. An external threaded groove rod is fixedly connected to the center of the gear. Teeth that mesh with the outer surface of the gear are provided on the corresponding side of the bottom of the two limiting brackets.

[0010] Furthermore, the externally threaded groove rod penetrates the partition and extends into the front cavity. The outer surface of the externally threaded groove rod is rotatably connected to the partition and the inner edge of the limiting frame. A drive sleeve is provided on the front of the partition, and a raised edge is provided on the outer ring of the drive sleeve near the partition.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the drive sleeve contacts the outer surface of the external threaded groove rod, and a slider is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drive sleeve.

The two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the outer protruding edge of the drive sleeve and the inner wall of the cavity, respectively. A button is fixedly connected to the end of the pressure rod away from the drive sleeve.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses a limiting component. Specifically, pressing the pressure rod drives the drive sleeve to move. The drive sleeve rotates the external threaded groove rod via a slider, which in turn drives the gear to rotate, causing the two limiting brackets to move closer to each other. At this time, the plug-in seat is inserted into the cavity of the limiting frame. The limiting groove is located on the outer side of the top of the two limiting brackets. After the insertion is completed, the pressure rod is released, and the spring rebounds, causing the two limiting brackets to move away from each other.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-6As shown, this utility model is an installation structure for a probe used for monitoring the elderly. It includes a supporting carrier fixing plate 111, with a connector 114 on the front side of the fixing plate 111. It also includes an installation mechanism 2, located on the front side of the fixing plate 111. The installation mechanism 2 includes a limiting component 21 mounted on the fixing plate 111 and a positioning component 22 mounted on the limiting component 21. The limiting component 21 includes a limiting frame 211, with a cavity 213 at the bottom inside the limiting frame 211. A partition 214 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity 213. Two limiting brackets 216 are provided on the back of the partition 214. A limiting groove 212 is provided at the bottom of the connector 114. The top ends of the two limiting brackets 216 contact the inside of the limiting groove 212. The limiting frame 211 is mounted on... Equipped with a driving component, the limiting groove 212 is T-shaped, and the two limiting brackets 216 are slidably connected. Both limiting brackets 216 are Z-shaped and symmetrically arranged. Pressing the pressure rod 215 drives the driving sleeve 219 to move. The driving sleeve 219 causes the external threaded groove rod 218 to rotate through the slider 2111, which in turn drives the gear 217 to rotate, causing the two limiting brackets 216 to move closer to each other. At this time, the plug-in seat 114 is inserted into the cavity of the limiting frame 211. The limiting groove 212 is located on the outer side of the top of the two limiting brackets 216. After the insertion is completed, the pressure rod 215 is released, and the spring 2110 rebounds, causing the two limiting brackets 216 to move away from each other. Their ends are inserted into the limiting groove 212, completing the fixed installation of the plug-in seat 114, the adjusting support rod 112, and the detection probe 113. The operation is simple and quick, improving the practicality of the equipment and the user experience.

[0028] The front of the connector 114 is connected to an adjusting rod 112 via a hinge block. A detection probe 113 is installed at the end of the adjusting rod 112 away from the connector 114. The adjusting rod 112 is multi-sectioned. The detection probe 113 has a built-in photoelectric smoke sensor, audible and visual alarm, and information transmission module.

[0029] The positioning component 22 includes two positioning strips 222 fixed to the inner wall of the limiting frame 211. The left and right sides of the plug-in seat 114 are provided with positioning grooves 221. The two positioning grooves 221 are slidably connected to the outer surface of the positioning strips 222. The positioning grooves 221 and the positioning strips 222 provide positioning and guidance for the installation of the plug-in seat 114. When the plug-in seat 114 is inserted into the cavity of the limiting frame 211, its two side positioning grooves 221 and inner wall positioning strips 222 are aligned. The guiding effect is used to quickly position the installation position, reduce errors and provide a stable foundation for fixed installation.

[0030] The driving component includes a gear 217, which is located inside the cavity 213 on the back of the partition 214. The outer surface of the gear 217 meshes with the corresponding side of the bottom of the two limiting brackets 216. An external threaded groove rod 218 is fixedly connected to the center of the gear 217. The corresponding side of the bottom of the two limiting brackets 216 is provided with teeth that mesh with the outer surface of the gear 217.

[0031] The external threaded groove rod 218 passes through the partition plate 214 and extends into the front cavity 213. The outer surface of the external threaded groove rod 218 is rotatably connected to the partition plate 214 and the inner edge of the limiting frame 211. The partition plate 214 is provided with a drive sleeve 219 on the front side. The outer ring of the drive sleeve 219 near the partition plate 214 is provided with a raised edge.

[0032] The inner wall of the drive sleeve 219 contacts the outer surface of the external threaded groove rod 218. A slider 2111 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the drive sleeve 219. The outer surface of the slider 2111 is slidably connected to the threaded groove on the outer surface of the external threaded groove rod 218. The outer surface of the slider 2111 is adapted to the threaded groove on the outer surface of the external threaded groove rod 218.

[0033] A pressure rod 215 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive sleeve 219 away from the partition 214. The pressure rod 215 passes through the cavity 213 and extends to the front of the limiting frame 211. The outer surface of the pressure rod 215 is slidably connected to the inner edge of the limiting frame 211. A spring 2110 is sleeved on the outside of the drive sleeve 219. The two ends of the spring 2110 are fixedly connected to the outer protrusion of the drive sleeve 219 and the inner wall of the cavity 213, respectively. A button is fixedly connected to the end of the pressure rod 215 away from the drive sleeve 219.

[0034] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the fixing plate 111 is first fixedly connected to the wall or a suitable support, and then the plug-in 114 is connected to the fixing plate 111 to complete the installation of the detection probe 113. Specifically, the plug-in 114 is first inserted into the cavity of the limiting frame 211. At this time, the positioning grooves 221 on both sides of the plug-in 114 need to be aligned with the positioning strips 222 on the inner wall of the limiting frame 211. Through the guiding effect of the positioning strips 222 and the positioning grooves 221, the plug-in 114 can be quickly positioned in the installation position, reducing the error during the subsequent installation of the plug-in 114, and also providing a certain stable foundation for the subsequent fixed installation.

[0035] Simultaneously, when installing and fixing the connector 114, the pressing rod 215 slides into the cavity 213. During the sliding of the pressing rod 215, the driving sleeve 219 moves synchronously. During the movement of the driving sleeve 219, the slider 2111 slides within the groove outside the external threaded groove rod 218. Furthermore, the driving sleeve 219, through the slider 2111, drives the external threaded groove rod 218 to rotate. During the rotation of the external threaded groove rod 218, the gear 217 rotates synchronously. During the rotation of 17, the two limiting brackets 216 will move closer to each other. At this time, the end of the top limiting bracket 216 will slide inside the bottom limiting bracket 216, thereby achieving limiting support for the two limiting brackets 216. When the two limiting brackets 216 move closer to each other, the plug-in seat 114 is fully inserted into the cavity of the limiting frame 211. At this time, the limiting groove 212 will be outside the top of the two limiting brackets 216. At the same time, during the process of pressing the pressure rod 215 to drive the drive sleeve 219 to slide, the drive sleeve... The external protrusion of 219 will pull the spring 2110 to extend. At this time, the spring 2110 is in a charged state. After the insertion of the connector 114, the pressure rod 215 is released. At this time, the spring 2110 will generate a certain rebound force and drive the drive sleeve 219 to reset. During the reset process of the drive sleeve 219, it will drive the external thread groove rod 218 to reverse again through the action of the slider 2111. At this time, the external thread groove rod 218 will drive the two limit brackets 216 to move away from each other through the action of the gear 217. At this time, the two limit brackets... The end of the bracket 216 is inserted into the limiting groove 212. The limiting bracket 216 achieves the limiting and fixing of the plug-in seat 114 through the limiting groove 212. After the plug-in seat 114 is fixedly installed, the adjusting support rod 112 and the detection probe 113 are also fixedly installed. The simple and convenient installation method reduces the installation time of the equipment, improves the elderly's experience with the equipment, and enhances the practicality of the equipment. At the same time, the spring 2110 is set with strong elasticity to ensure that the drive sleeve 219 will not be displaced due to vibration.

[0036] The adjustable support rod 112 features multi-angle adjustment, supporting 360° horizontal rotation and ±90° vertical tilt. Combined with the multi-angle mounting holes on the fixing plate 111, it achieves precise coverage of areas where elderly people are active, such as beds, sofas, and dining tables, avoiding blind spots in monitoring. Meanwhile, the detection probe 113 integrates a photoelectric smoke sensor and an audible and visual alarm + information transmission module. When smoke is detected, it triggers a "local alert + remote notification" system. A dual-mechanism system ensures the safety of the elderly. The specific workflow is as follows: The photoelectric sensor inside the probe includes an "infrared emitter" and a "photosensitive receiver." Under normal conditions, the light emitted by the infrared emitter travels in a straight line, and the light intensity received by the photosensitive receiver is stable. When smoke particles enter the sensor chamber, the light is scattered by the smoke particles, and some of the scattered light is captured by the photosensitive receiver, causing a change in the received light intensity. When the change in light intensity exceeds a preset threshold, the sensor determines that there is an "abnormal smoke" and immediately sends a trigger signal to the probe's main control module. After receiving the abnormal smoke signal, the main control module immediately activates the probe's built-in buzzer, emitting a continuous ringing sound with a frequency of 1kHz and a loudness ≥80dB to ensure that the elderly can clearly perceive the danger. At the same time, the main control module calls the pre-stored voice chip and uses the probe's built-in speaker to repeatedly broadcast "Please open the window, family members have been notified," with the voice content using a "slow speech +..." The high-definition design is adapted to the hearing and comprehension abilities of the elderly, guiding them to take initial self-rescue measures. While triggering local warnings, the main control module converts the smoke alarm signal into digital commands and sends them to preset family members' mobile apps or smart terminals via wireless modules such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or NB-IoT. The sent information includes "alarm time, installation location, such as 'bedroom sensor' 'living room sensor', and smoke concentration level," ensuring that family members can quickly locate the danger zone. At the same time, the alarm information is set to "highest priority" and pushed through multiple methods such as app pop-ups, SMS, and phone reminders to avoid untimely rescue due to information delays.
