[0036] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation
[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0038] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0039] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a car seat heart rate acquisition and transmission device, comprising: a thin-film sensing circuit, a Bluetooth transmission circuit, and a controller circuit. The Bluetooth transmission circuit is connected to the thin-film sensing circuit to acquire the femoral artery signal of the human body through the thin-film sensing circuit. The controller circuit is connected to the Bluetooth transmission circuit to issue an early warning when the femoral artery signal of the human body is lower than a set value.
[0040] Specifically, the car seat heart rate acquisition and transmission device constitutes a fatigue early warning system (FEWS). It collects and analyzes the occupant's physiological signals (heart rate data) through sensors in a thin-film sensing circuit located inside the seat cushion and in contact with the femoral artery, providing a fatigue early warning function. The reference range for normal heart rate is 60-100 beats per minute for adults; a heart rate below 60 beats per minute is considered bradycardia and indicates the occupant is fatigued. Additionally, heart rate values corresponding to moderate and severe fatigue can be set according to the OEM's requirements (e.g., 55 beats per minute and 50 beats per minute). After determining that the occupant is in a certain fatigue state, the FEWS transmits the signal to the cockpit domain controller / body domain controller / seat controller. The cockpit domain controller / body domain controller / seat controller will then execute corresponding actions to provide a warning reminder to the occupant. Furthermore, in one embodiment of this invention, the warning reminder includes any one or more of the following: voice prompts, massage control, music playback or aromatherapy control, and a head-up display (HUD). The controller circuit may further include a fatigue level analysis module and a fatigue warning module. The fatigue level analysis module analyzes the femoral artery signal transmitted via Bluetooth to obtain fatigue-related information, such as heart rate data, which can be used to analyze the driver's fatigue level. When driver fatigue is detected, a control signal is output to the fatigue warning module. This module then outputs a control signal to the warning device, providing voice prompts, massage control, music or aromatherapy control, HUD (Head-Up Display) alerts, etc., to remind the driver not to drive while fatigued.
[0041] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the thin-film sensing circuit includes any one or two of a piezoelectric thin-film sensor or a thin-film pressure sensor.
[0042] Piezoelectric thin-film sensors are the best solution for non-invasive monitoring of bodily functions. They can respond very sensitively to weak dynamic signals, such as respiration and heart rate. The monitoring strip is laid flat on the seat near the legs. When a person sits in the chair, the fluctuations in breathing and heartbeats are captured by the piezoelectric thin-film sensor, which then calculates the respiration and heart rate values.
[0043] Thin-film pressure sensors can detect both dynamic and static signals and have excellent resistance to environmental interference. The thin-film pressure sensor only outputs a pressure signal when a person sits on it. When used in conjunction with a piezoelectric thin-film sensor, it improves the reliability of the femoral artery module.
[0044] See Figure 1The car seat heart rate acquisition and transmission device further includes a Bluetooth display terminal, which is connected to the Bluetooth transmission circuit to acquire and display the femoral artery signal. The Bluetooth display terminal can be a smartphone or an in-vehicle tablet, allowing the femoral artery signal to be displayed via either device.
[0045] See Figures 3 to 5 The control circuit includes a controller U2 and a CAN communication circuit. The controller U2 is connected to the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) via the CAN communication circuit. The controller U2 can communicate with the ECU through the CAN communication circuit to obtain the vehicle's driving status. When the vehicle is detected to be in motion and the driver is found to be fatigued, a fatigue driving warning is issued; otherwise, it is not necessary to avoid false warnings.
[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the CAN communication circuit includes a CAN transceiver controller U3. The serial signal transceiver terminals of the CAN transceiver controller U3 are connected to the controller U2 via resistors R7 and R8, respectively. The CAN signal terminals of the CAN transceiver controller U3 are connected to the CAN communication interface J2 via resistors R5 and R9, respectively. The CAN transceiver controller U3 can convert the UART serial port signal output by the controller U2 into a corresponding CAN signal and transmit it to the automotive electronic control unit; or it can convert the CAN signal received from the automotive electronic control unit into a UART serial port signal and transmit it to the controller U2, enabling the controller U2 to obtain information such as the vehicle's driving status.
[0047] See Figure 5The CAN communication circuit further includes: transient diode D1, transient diode D2, capacitor C21, and capacitor C23. One end of transient diode D1 is connected to a signal line of the CAN signal terminal of the CAN transceiver controller U3, and the other end of transient diode D1 is connected to reference ground. One end of transient diode D2 is connected to another signal line of the CAN signal terminal of the CAN transceiver controller U3, and the other end of transient diode D2 is connected to reference ground. One end of capacitor C21 is connected to a signal line of the CAN signal terminal of the CAN transceiver controller U3, and the other end of capacitor C21 is connected to reference ground. One end of capacitor C23 is connected to another signal line of the CAN signal terminal of the CAN transceiver controller U3, and the other end of capacitor C23 is connected to reference ground. Specifically, a filter circuit consisting of transient diodes D1 and D2, capacitors C21 and C23 can absorb interference signals and / or high-voltage pulse signals on the differential signal lines of the CAN signal terminal of the CAN transceiver controller U3, ensuring the stability of the CAN signal and preventing the high-voltage pulse signal from damaging the CAN transceiver controller U3.
[0048] See Figure 3 and Figure 6 The control circuit further includes a LIN communication circuit. The controller U2 communicates with the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) via this LIN communication circuit. The LIN communication circuit includes a LIN transceiver controller U5. The serial port transceiver terminals of the LIN transceiver controller U5 are connected to the controller U2 via resistors R13 and R16, respectively. The LIN signal terminal of the LIN transceiver controller U5 is connected to the vehicle's communication interface. The controller U2 can also communicate with the ECU via the LIN communication circuit to obtain the vehicle's driving status. When the vehicle is detected to be in motion and the driver is found to be fatigued, a fatigue driving warning is issued; otherwise, it is not necessary to avoid false warnings.
[0049] See Figure 6 The LIN communication circuit further includes a transient diode DR1 and a capacitor C27. One end of the transient diode DR1 is connected to the signal line of the LIN signal terminal of the LIN transceiver controller U5, and the other end of the transient diode DR1 is connected to reference ground. One end of the capacitor C27 is connected to the signal line of the LIN signal terminal of the LIN transceiver controller U5, and the other end of the capacitor C27 is connected to reference ground. Specifically, the transient diode DR1 and capacitor C27 form a filter circuit, which can absorb interference signals and / or high-voltage pulse signals on the signal line of the LIN signal terminal of the CAN transceiver controller U3, ensuring the stability of the LIN signal and preventing high-voltage pulse signals from damaging the LIN transceiver controller U5.
[0050] See Figure 6 The LIN communication circuit further includes a diode D3, the anode of which is connected to the power supply, and the cathode of which is connected to the signal line of the LIN signal terminal of the LIN transceiver controller U5 via a resistor R14. The diode D3 and resistor R14 form a pull-up circuit, pulling the signal line of the LIN signal terminal to a stable initial voltage, thus ensuring the stability of the signal on the LIN signal terminal.
