[0031] 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.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides a technical solution: an electric vehicle grip for health monitoring, including a grip sleeve 1. The inside of the grip sleeve 1 is adapted to be installed with a grip tube 3, and one end of the grip tube 3 is fixedly connected to a grip bend 4. A second receiving groove 6 is provided on the grip tube 3, and a first receiving groove 2 is provided on the grip sleeve 1. The positions of the first receiving groove 2 and the second receiving groove 6 correspond one-to-one, and the groove sizes are matched, together forming a space for installing a sensor assembly. A sensor lower shell 8 is installed inside the first receiving groove 2 and the second receiving groove 6. A sensor module that can monitor the user's heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and grip temperature in real time is integrated inside the sensor lower shell 8. A sensor upper cover 10 is closed on top of the sensor lower shell 8 to form a sealed protection for the sensor module.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: A support plate 11 is symmetrically provided on the lower inner side of the second receiving groove 6 along its length direction. The support plate 11 and the handle tube 3 are integrally formed. Its top surface is attached to the bottom surface of the sensor lower shell 8, which can form a stable support for the sensor lower shell 8 and prevent the sensor lower shell 8 from shifting its position due to gravity or vibration.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: A first limiting protrusion 7 is installed on the inner wall of the second accommodating groove 6 near the opening. The first limiting protrusion 7 is a long strip structure that can block the formation of the sensor lower shell 8.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: A second limiting protrusion 9 is provided on the outer side of the sensor lower housing 8 at the position corresponding to the first limiting protrusion 7. The shape of the second limiting protrusion 9 is adapted to the first limiting protrusion 7, and the two can form an interlocking or abutting fit, further limiting the shaking of the sensor lower housing 8 in the receiving groove and improving the installation stability.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: A wire groove 5 is provided on the handle bend 4, one end of which extends to and connects to the wire outlet of the sensor lower housing 8, which can store and protect the connection cable of the sensor module, and prevent the cable from being squeezed or worn.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: The sensor cover 10 is a transparent cover, made entirely of PC material, and its edges are detachably connected to the sensor lower shell 8 via a snap-fit ​​structure. The transparency ensures that the optical acquisition elements of the sensor module are not obstructed, and the PC material possesses wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and impact resistance, making it suitable for the complex operating environment of electric vehicles.

[0038] Please see Figure 3-8This invention relates to a monitoring circuit for an electric vehicle handlebar used for health monitoring. Its core component is a sensor module for health monitoring, primarily used to collect data on the rider's heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, and handlebar temperature during riding. The sensor module mainly consists of a 1.8V power supply regulator circuit, a heart rate and blood oxygen acquisition circuit, a temperature acquisition circuit, a communication level conversion circuit, an enable signal level conversion circuit, and onboard terminals.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown: The 1.8V power supply regulator circuit converts the 3.3V voltage input from the onboard terminals into a 1.8V power supply voltage for the heart rate and blood oxygen sensor. It consists of an input filter capacitor C1 (106), a 1.8V linear regulator U4 (XC6206), and an output filter capacitor C2 (106). The 1.8V linear regulator U4 is a CMOS step-down voltage regulator with high ripple rejection, low power consumption, low dropout voltage, and overcurrent and short-circuit protection, capable of providing 1.8V, 200mA power supply.

[0040] like Figure 4 The heart rate and blood oxygen acquisition circuit, as shown, uses the LED reflection principle of the MAX30102 sensor to collect and monitor the rider's heart rate and blood oxygen saturation in the palm of their hand. Heart rate and blood oxygen values ​​are obtained through I2C communication and program algorithms. It consists of a 3.3V LED power supply filter capacitor C4 (104), a 1.8V sensor power supply filter capacitor C5 (104), and a heart rate and blood oxygen sensor U2 (MAX30102). The heart rate and blood oxygen sensor U2 is an integrated module combining a pulse oximeter and a heart rate monitor biosensor. It integrates multiple LEDs, photodetectors, optical devices, and low-noise electronic circuitry with ambient light suppression. It uses a 1.8V power supply and a separate 3.3V power supply for the internal LEDs, and a standard I2C-compatible communication interface.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown: The temperature acquisition circuit uses a GX21M15 digital temperature sensor to collect and monitor the grip temperature, thereby indirectly assessing the grip riding comfort. It consists of a 3.3V power supply filter capacitor C3 (104) and a digital temperature sensor U1, which is a temperature-to-digital converter.

[0042] like Figure 6As shown: The communication level conversion circuit converts the I2C communication signals SDA and SCL received from the onboard terminals into I2C communication signals SDA1 and SCL1 that are compatible with U2 communication. It consists of a 4.7KΩ pull-up resistor for SDA1 (1.8V), a 4.7KΩ pull-up resistor for SCL1 (1.8V), and an N-type field-effect transistor chip Q4 (2N7002KD). The N-type field-effect transistor chip Q4 features low-level control, high switching speed, and low threshold voltage. It internally contains two N-channel MOSFETs, and its communication level conversion principle is the same as that of the enable signal level conversion circuit.

[0043] like Figure 7 As shown: The enable signal level conversion circuit converts the INT signal received from the onboard terminals into an enable signal for the INT1 chip that drives the matching heart rate and blood oxygen sensor U2. It consists of a Q3 (SI2302) N-channel MOSFET and an R3 (4.7K) 1.8V pull-up resistor.

[0044] The conversion principle is as follows: When INT is high, Q3 is off, and INT1 is pulled up by R3, so the output is high; when INT is low, the body diode is on, which pulls the INT1 terminal of Q3 low, so (Vgs=1.8V)>(Vgs(th)=1.0V), Q3 is on, INT1 is pulled low, and the output is low; when INT1 is high, Q3 is off, and the INT terminal is pulled up, so the output is high; when INT1 is low, at this time (Vgs is approximately equal to 1.8V)>(Vgs(th)=1.0V), Q3 is on, the INT terminal is completely pulled low, and the output is low.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
