Smart protective assembly against ambient temperature hazards to individuals

Abstract

A smart protection system against personal hazards caused by ambient temperature includes a clothing carrier, an ambient temperature measuring device, a human body temperature measuring device, a cooling device, and a processor. The clothing carrier is worn over an individual's torso. The ambient temperature measuring device senses the ambient temperature of the individual's surroundings. The human body temperature measuring device senses the individual's body temperature and thermosensitive physiological signals. The cooling device generates and directs a cooling airflow into the clothing carrier. The processor adjusts the intensity of the cooling airflow based on the ambient and body temperatures to regulate body temperature to an optimal comfortable level and provides personal health management alerts based on real-time body temperature and physiological signals.

Claims

1. A smart protection system for personal protection against environmental temperature hazards, comprising: a clothing carrier for wearing on the torso of an individual in need; an environmental temperature measuring device disposed on the surface of the clothing carrier for sensing the environmental temperature of the individual's environment, so as to monitor and determine the impact of the environment on the individual's work safety and health; and a human body temperature measuring device disposed at a designated measuring site on the individual for sensing the individual's body temperature and / or thermally sensitive physiological signals. A cooling device, disposed on the clothing carrier, is used to generate and guide a cooling airflow from the environment into the clothing carrier, causing the clothing carrier to expand and forming a ventilation space between the clothing carrier and the skin of the torso, so that the cooling airflow can circulate the heat and / or sweat emitted by the skin to the outside of the clothing carrier; and a processor, coupled to the ambient temperature measuring device, the human body temperature measuring device and the cooling device, is used to drive or stop the cooling device or adjust the intensity of the cooling airflow generated by the cooling device according to the ambient temperature and the body temperature and / or the heat-sensitive physiological signal, thereby regulating the individual's body temperature to the optimal temperature through the cooling airflow.

2. The intelligent protection combination against personal hazards posed by ambient temperature as described in claim 1, wherein: The processor is also used to generate alarm messages based on the ambient temperature, the body temperature, and / or the thermosensitive physiological signals.

3. The intelligent protection system for personal hazards posed by ambient temperature as described in claim 1, further comprising: An inner garment with a sweat sensor is worn over the torso of an individual and located between the torso and the garment carrier. The sweat sensor is coupled to a processor and includes: an electrode patch sewn onto the inner garment and used to generate a sensing signal in response to the amount of sweat produced by the individual; and conductive fibers coupled to the electrode patch and sewn onto the inner garment and used to transmit the sensing signal. The processor is further used to generate an alarm message based on the sensing signal.

4. The intelligent protection system for personal hazards posed by ambient temperature as described in claim 1, further comprising: A physiological information sensing device is coupled to the processor and set at a designated measurement site of the individual, and is used to measure the physiological index values ​​of the individual from the designated measurement site; wherein, the processor is further used to generate an alarm message based on the physiological index values.

5. The intelligent protection combination against personal hazards posed by ambient temperature as described in claim 4, wherein: The physiological index values ​​include at least one measurement selected from the group consisting of heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, respiratory rate, skin conductivity, muscle activity potential, peripheral blood flow, brain waves, frontal blood flow, posture, maximum heart rate, maximum oxygen uptake, and lactate level.

6. The intelligent protection combination against personal hazards posed by ambient temperature as described in claim 4, wherein, The physiological indicator value is determined by the individual's posture, and the warning message is a fall judgment message generated based on the posture determination.

7. A smart protection system for personal hazards posed by ambient temperature as described in claim 1 or 4, wherein: The designated measurement site includes at least one of the following groups: ear, temple, neck, wrist, fingers, toes, ankle, face, back, left chest, armpit, mouth, instep, and thigh.

8. The intelligent protection combination against personal hazards posed by ambient temperature as described in any of claims 2 to 4, further comprising: A mobile device, coupled to the processor, is used to display the warning message.

9. A smart protection system for personal hazards posed by ambient temperature as described in claim 1, wherein: The clothing carrier includes a cooling pocket located on the back, neck, and / or shoulders of the individual and used to house a cooling device, thereby reducing the temperature of the cooling airflow to generate cold air circulation in the ventilated space.

10. A smart protection system for personal hazards posed by ambient temperature as described in claim 1, wherein: The cooling device is installed on the clothing carrier at a position corresponding to the individual's lateral chest area, which is the area between the second and sixth ribs on the side of the individual's body and / or the overlapping area of ​​the serratus anterior and external oblique muscles on the midaxillary line of the individual; and the clothing carrier at this position corresponding to the lateral chest area includes filter material; and the cooling airflow is configured to pass through the filter material before flowing into the ventilation space.
