Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diving suit technology, specifically a diving suit device capable of monitoring vital signs data. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of diving technology, the depth and complexity of diving operations are gradually increasing, which puts forward higher requirements for the life safety of divers. When divers are working underwater, their vital signs such as body temperature, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation and electrocardiogram signals are important indicators for measuring their physiological state and health status. Real-time and accurate acquisition of these vital sign data can not only ensure the safety of divers, but also provide a basis for scientific decision-making for diving missions.
[0003] Currently, most diving suits on the market focus on thermal insulation, waterproofing, and pressure resistance, but they generally lack the ability to comprehensively monitor the vital signs of divers. At the same time, the underwater environment is complex, with high pressure and low temperature, which makes electronic equipment easily damaged. Sensors are located on the outer surface of the thermal suit, and the signal is easily distorted due to the loosening of the diving suit. Traditional monitoring equipment is difficult to meet the reliability and real-time requirements of deep-sea operations. Utility Model Content

[0020] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a diving suit device capable of monitoring vital signs data, including a diving suit body 1, an electrocardiogram sensor 2 installed inside the front side of the diving suit body 1, a body temperature sensor 3 installed to the right side of the electrocardiogram sensor 2, a twelve-pin watertight interface 5 provided in the middle of the diving suit body 1, a five-pin watertight interface 4 installed at the cuff of the diving suit body 1, a glove 7 connected to the cuff of the diving suit body 1 through the five-pin watertight interface 4, and a circuit core board 6 installed on the rear side of the diving suit body 1.
[0022] Furthermore, the body temperature sensor 3 is located under the armpit of the inner liner of the diving suit body 1, embedded in the armpit layer of the inner liner. There are three electrocardiogram (ECG) sensors 2, which are respectively arranged on the left chest, right chest and right abdomen of the inner liner of the diving suit body 1.
[0023] Specifically, compared to traditional chest sensors, axillary temperature is more stable, which can reduce the impact of ambient temperature changes on the measurement and improve measurement accuracy. ECG sensor 2 adopts a three-electrode measurement method to form a complete bioelectrical signal circuit. The three electrodes adopt an isosceles triangle layout, which complies with the IEC 60601-2-27 ECG signal acquisition standard, effectively improving the stability of signal acquisition and reducing motion artifacts and interference from underwater environmental electrical noise. Compared with single-electrode or dual-electrode schemes, three-electrode measurement can provide more accurate ECG waveforms and improve the ability to detect abnormal heart rhythms.
[0024] Furthermore, a heart rate and blood oxygen saturation sensor 8 is installed in the inner interlayer of the index finger of the glove 7, and a silicone encapsulation layer is provided in the interlayer of the fingertip of the glove 7. The heart rate and blood oxygen saturation sensor 8 is connected to the five-pin watertight interface 4. Both the heart rate and blood oxygen saturation sensor 8 and the five-pin watertight interface 4 adopt a pressure-resistant encapsulation structure.
[0025] Specifically, a combined monitoring scheme using gloves 7 and a diving suit is adopted. Compared to sensor placement only on the diving suit, this scheme can provide more accurate physiological data, avoid signal attenuation caused by loosening or changes in the fit of the diving suit, and refer to the measurement method of medical heart rate and blood oxygen saturation sensors 8. It combines optical PPG and electrode ECG dual-modal detection. PPG and ECG signals are synchronously acquired through hardware parallel circuits with a sampling frequency ≥100Hz to avoid errors caused by signal phase differences and improve data accuracy. Through a silicone encapsulation pre-tightening structure, it is ensured that the heart rate and blood oxygen saturation sensors 8 adapt to changes in fingertip shape, making them fit tightly and not loosening with finger movements. This can further improve signal quality and reduce the impact of diver movement on sensor data.
[0026] Furthermore, the circuit core board 6 is fixed inside the package shell 10 by the fixing structure 9, and the package shell 10 is made of high-strength pressure-resistant material.
[0027] Specifically, the enclosure 10 provides excellent mechanical protection and pressure resistance, ensuring that the internal electronic components are protected from external impacts and pressures during operation, thereby guaranteeing the reliability and safety of the circuit core board 6.
[0028] Furthermore, a first sealing ring 11 and a second sealing ring 12 are installed on the rear side inside the packaging shell 10. A packaging cover plate 13 is attached to the right side of the second sealing ring 12, and the packaging cover plate 13 is threadedly installed on the right side of the packaging shell 10.
[0029] Specifically, the outer casing 10 adopts a two-layer sealing ring structure to achieve high-strength waterproof capability. The first sealing ring 11 adopts an O-ring, and the second sealing ring 12 adopts a rectangular cross-section sealing ring. The outer O-ring achieves primary sealing, and the inner rectangular cross-section sealing ring enhances sealing capability.
[0030] Furthermore, the circuit core board 6 integrates a power management module and a wireless communication module. The wireless communication module consists of an RF module and an underwater acoustic communication module.
[0031] Specifically, the power management module provides reliable power to the core board and its components, the radio frequency module enables the diving suit to perform conventional radio frequency communication, and the underwater acoustic communication module enables underwater acoustic communication in an underwater environment, effectively improving the flexibility and applicability of the diving suit.
[0032] Working principle: First, a twelve-pin watertight interface 5 is set in the middle of the diving suit body 1. Data is received and processed through the twelve-pin interface. A five-pin watertight interface 4 is installed at the cuff of the diving suit body 1. The cuff of the diving suit body 1 is connected to the glove 7 through the five-pin watertight interface 4. Data transmission is achieved by connecting the five-pin watertight interface 4 on the glove 7 through a double-ended five-pin watertight cable. Second, a circuit core board 6 is installed on the rear of the diving suit body 1. The circuit core board 6 integrates a power management module and a wireless communication module. Data is transmitted through the radio frequency module and the underwater acoustic communication module. The diving suit body 1 has an electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor 2 installed inside the front side, and a body temperature sensor 3 installed to the right of the ECG sensor 2. The body temperature sensor 3 is located under the armpit of the inner liner of the diving suit body 1 and is embedded in the underarm layer of the inner liner to measure body temperature. The three ECG sensors 2 are respectively arranged on the left chest, right chest and right abdomen of the inner liner of the diving suit body 1 to detect ECG waveforms. Finally, a first sealing ring 11 and a second sealing ring 12 are installed on the rear side of the inner liner of the encapsulation shell 10. An encapsulation cover plate 13 is attached to the right side of the second sealing ring 12 to prevent seawater intrusion from affecting the stability of the overall structure.
