In some embodiments, each component (for example, the terminal device 110, the storage device 130, the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150) in the application scenario 100 can be connected and / or communicated with each other via the network 120 (for example, wireless connection, wired connection, or a combination thereof).
[0086] The terminal device 110 refers to a device and / or software used by a user related to the application scenario 100. The user related to the application scenario 100 includes, but is not limited to, the monitoring object 140, a doctor (for example, a clinician, a radiotherapist), a nurse, and the like. For example, the terminal device 110 can be a device or software for controlling the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150. The user issues a control instruction to the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150 through the terminal device 110, so as to control the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150 to collect a physiological signal of the monitoring object 140. For example, the terminal device 110 can send a control instruction input by the user to the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150 through the network 120, so as to control the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150 to collect a physiological signal of the monitoring object 140. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can acquire the physiological signal of the monitoring object 140 collected by the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150 through the network 120. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can be one or any combination of a mobile device, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, and the like other devices with input and / or output functions.
[0087] The physiological signal refers to a bioelectric signal (for example, an electrocardiogram signal, an electromyogram signal, and the like) of an object (for example, the monitoring object 140) collected based on a signal collection device (for example, the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150). The physiological signal can be a mixed signal mixed with a noise signal (for example, a motion artifact signal, an electrostatic signal, and the like) and a pure physiological signal. The pure physiological signal refers to a true physiological signal of the object (for example, the monitoring object 140) obtained by filtering out the noise signal.
[0088] The network 120 can connect various components (for example, the terminal device 110, the storage device 130, and the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150) of the application scenario 100 and / or connect the application scenario 100 with an external resource part. The network 120 can enable communication between various components of the application scenario 100 and other parts outside the application scenario 100, and promote exchange of data and / or information. For example, the terminal device 110 can acquire the physiological signal of the monitoring object 140 collected by the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150 through the network 120. For another example, the storage device 130 can acquire physiological signal data of the monitoring object 140 collected by the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150 through the network 120 and store the physiological signal data.
[0089] In some embodiments, the network 120 can be any form of wired or wireless network, or any combination thereof. By way of example only, the network 120 can include a cable network, a wireline network, a fiber-optic network, a telecommunications network, an intranet, the Internet, a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a Bluetooth network, a ZigBee network, a Near Field Communication (NFC) network, and / or the like, or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the network 120 can include at least one network access point through which at least one component of the application scenario 100 can connect to the network 120 to exchange data and / or information. For example, data such as physiological signals collected can be communicated through the network 120.
[0090] The storage device 130 can store data, instructions, and / or any other information. In some embodiments, the storage device 130 can store data obtained from the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150 and / or the terminal device 110. For example, the storage device 130 can store physiological signals collected by the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150. In some embodiments, the storage device 130 can include a mass storage, a removable storage, a volatile read-write memory, a read-only memory (ROM), and / or the like, or any combination thereof. An exemplary mass storage can include a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a solid-state disk, and / or the like. In some embodiments, the storage device 130 can be implemented on a cloud platform. By way of example only, the cloud platform can include a private cloud, a public cloud, a hybrid cloud, a community cloud, a distributed cloud, an on-premises cloud, a multi-layer cloud, and / or the like, or any combination thereof.
[0091] In some embodiments, the storage device 130 can be connected to the network 120 to communicate with at least one other component in the application scenario 100. At least one component in the application scenario 100 can access data, instructions, or other information stored in the storage device 130 through the network 120. In some embodiments, the storage device 130 can be directly connected to or in communication with one or more components in the application scenario 100 (e.g., the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150, the terminal device 110). In some embodiments, the storage device 130 can be part of the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150 and / or the terminal device 110.
[0092] The monitoring subject 140 refers to a monitoring subject of the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150, such as a user of the physiological signal monitoring apparatus 150 or a patient, an experimental subject, and / or the like, who needs to have physiological signals collected.
[0093] The physiological signal monitoring device 150 refers to a device for collecting or monitoring physiological signals of the monitoring subject 140. The physiological signal monitoring device 150 can be fixed to at least one body part (e.g., chest, back, waist, etc.) of the monitoring subject 140 to collect physiological signals of the monitoring subject 140. In some embodiments, the physiological signal monitoring device 150 can be in a band structure (e.g., a heart rate band), including a band and a plurality of (e.g., two) electrodes. The band can be used to fix the physiological signal monitoring device 150 to at least one body part of the monitoring subject. The plurality of electrodes can be arranged on the inner surface of the band to be in contact with at least one body part of the monitoring subject 140 to collect electrical signals (e.g., electric potentials at the positions of the electrodes) of the monitoring subject 140.
[0094] In some embodiments, the physiological signal monitoring device 150 can have an independent power supply. The physiological signal monitoring device 150 can send the collected data (e.g., physiological signals) to other components (e.g., the storage device 130, the terminal device 110) through wired or wireless (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.) transmission. In some embodiments, one or more components in the application scenario 100 can be part of the physiological signal monitoring device 150. For example, the storage device 130, etc. can be included in the physiological signal monitoring device 150. More information about the physiological signal monitoring device 150 can be found in FIGS. 3A-6F and the related descriptions.
[0095] In some embodiments, the application scenario 100 can further include a processing device (not shown in FIG. 1, which can be configured in the physiological signal monitoring device 150 or the terminal device 110). The processing device can calculate physiological data based on the electrical signals collected by the plurality of electrodes. The physiological data refers to data determined based on the physiological signals, reflecting the biological electrical characteristics of the monitoring subject (e.g., the monitoring subject 140), for example, when the physiological signals are electrocardiogram signals, the physiological data can be electrocardiogram data.
[0096] It should be noted that the above description of the application scenario 100 is only for example and illustration, and does not limit the scope of the present specification. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the application scenario 100 under the guidance of the present specification. However, these modifications and changes are still within the scope of the present specification.
[0097] FIG. 2A is a diagram of an inner surface structure of a conventional physiological signal monitoring device, according to some embodiments of the present specification; FIG. 2B is a diagram of an outer surface structure of a conventional physiological signal monitoring device, according to some embodiments of the present specification; FIG. 2C is a front view of a conventional physiological signal monitoring device, according to some embodiments of the present specification. In FIG. 2C, the front view is taken when the conventional physiological signal monitoring device is placed on a horizontal plane (e.g., the outer surface or the inner surface is parallel to the tabletop / ground), and the same applies to the other front views. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 2C, the conventional physiological signal monitoring device 200 can include a strap 210, two electrodes (electrode 221 and electrode 222) and two connection ports (connection port 231 and connection port 232).
[0098] The strap 210 is a base structure of the conventional physiological signal monitoring device 200, configured to be worn on a user’s (e.g., the monitoring subject 140) body, so that the two electrodes can be in contact with the user’s body. The strap 210 includes an inner surface (a contact surface with the user’s body) and an outer surface (the other surface opposite to the inner surface, facing away from the human skin). The two ends of the strap 210 can be configured with connectors (e.g., connection buckles, not shown in the figure), and when the connectors at the two ends are connected (e.g., buckled), the strap 210 can be wrapped around and in contact with the wearing part of the user (e.g., the user’s waist).
[0099] The material of the strap 210 can include plant fibers (e.g., cotton fibers, hemp fibers, etc.), animal fibers (e.g., wool, etc.), synthetic fibers (e.g., acrylic, polyester, etc.), etc. For example, the strap 210 can be woven from plant fibers.
[0100] The electrode 221 and the electrode 222 are electrical signal acquisition electrodes, and the electrode 221 is not conductive with the electrode 222. As shown in FIG. 2A, the electrode 221 and the electrode 222 can be configured on the inner surface of the strap 210 and in contact with the user’s (e.g., the monitoring subject 140) body, for acquiring the electrical signal (e.g., the electric potential) at the location.
[0101] The electrode 221 and the electrode 222 can be in conduction with the connection port 231 and the connection port 232 respectively, for example, as shown in FIG. 2C, the electrode 221 can be in conduction with the connection port 231 through the connection wire 241, and the electrode 222 can be in conduction with the connection port 232 through the connection wire 242. The connection port 231 and the connection port 232 can be connected with a transmitter (not shown in the figure) (for example, connected in a snap buckle manner or connected by magnetic attraction), and the transmitter can send the electrical signals (for example, electrocardioelectric potential) collected by the electrode 221 and the electrode 222 to a processing device, so as to determine the physiological signal (for example, electrocardio signal) and / or physiological data (for example, electrocardiogram) of the monitored object (for example, the monitored object 140) based on the above-mentioned electrical signals. In some embodiments, the connection port 231 and the connection port 232 can be directly connected with the processing device, so that the processing device can directly obtain the electrical signals collected by the electrode 221 and the electrode 222, so as to determine the physiological signal (for example, electrocardio signal) and / or physiological data (for example, electrocardiogram) of the monitored object (for example, the monitored object 140) based on the above-mentioned electrical signals.
[0102] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2C, the conventional physiological signal monitoring device 200 can be provided with a waterproof layer 250, which includes two waterproof films (i.e., waterproof film 251 and waterproof film 252), and the waterproof film 251 and the waterproof film 252 can be attached to wrap the electrode 221 and the electrode 222, so as to realize waterproof of the electrode 221 and the electrode 222. When the strap 210 is wetted by the sweat of the user, the strap 210 can conduct electricity, in order to prevent abnormal conduction between the electrode 221 and the electrode 222 through the strap 210 at this time, the electrode 221, the electrode 222 and the strap 210 need to be insulated, based on this, the waterproof film 251 can be made of insulating waterproof material, for example, the waterproof film 251 and the waterproof film 252 can be made of insulating rubber, silicone or the like.
[0103] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2C, in order to prevent the electrode from being in conduction with the strap 210 through the connection wire, the connection wire 241 and the connection wire 242 can be wrapped with waterproof film 253 and waterproof film 254 respectively. The waterproof film 251 can be made of insulating waterproof material, for example, the waterproof film 253 and the waterproof film 254 can be made of insulating rubber, silicone or the like.
[0104] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2C, in order to prevent the connection port from being in conduction with the strap 210, the connection port 231 and the connection port 232 can be respectively provided with insulating layers 255 and 256 between the connection port 231 and the strap 210. The insulating layers 255 and 256 can be made of insulating waterproof material, for example, the insulating layers 255 and 256 can be made of silicone or the like.
[0105] The structure of the traditional physiological signal monitoring device 200 can make the physiological signal monitoring device have a waterproof effect, thereby avoiding abnormal conduction between the electrodes, and ensuring the signal-to-noise ratio of the collected physiological signals (for example, electrocardiosignal).
[0106] However, the traditional physiological signal monitoring device 200 with the above structure at least has the following problems:
[0107] The traditional physiological signal monitoring device 200 is configured with multiple waterproof membranes and insulation layers, which increases the thickness of the device as a whole, thereby weakening the overall elasticity and making the overall adjustability and breathability of the traditional physiological signal monitoring device 200 worse. In addition, since the skin-friendliness of the waterproof membrane is not good, its contact with the user's skin can cause discomfort or even skin damage when the user (for example, the monitoring object 140) wears it, affecting the user's wearing experience. The poor elasticity of the traditional physiological signal monitoring device 200 also makes the traditional physiological signal monitoring device 200 worse in terms of fit with the human body, which adversely affects the signal-to-noise ratio of the collected physiological signals.
[0108] To achieve the waterproof effect, the traditional physiological signal monitoring device 200 is configured with multiple waterproof membranes (for example, waterproof membranes 251, 252, 253, and 254) and insulation layers (for example, insulation layers 255 and 256), which makes the manufacturing process of the physiological signal monitoring device complex, and the manufacturing process is also complicated, which inevitably leads to an increase in the failure rate of the traditional physiological signal monitoring device 200 during production and a decrease in production capacity.
[0109] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present specification, a physiological signal monitoring device (for example, physiological signal monitoring devices 300, 400, 500, and 600) is provided, which has a waterproof effect, ensures that the collected electrocardiosignal has a high signal-to-noise ratio, and ensures that the user has a good wearing experience.
[0110] FIG. 3A is an inner surface structure diagram of a physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification; and FIG. 3B is an outer surface structure diagram of a physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0111] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the physiological signal monitoring device 300 can include a strap 310, two electrode pieces (a first electrode piece 321 and a second electrode piece 322), and a waterproof layer 330.
[0112] The band 310 is a base structure of the physiological signal monitoring device, configured to be worn on the body of a user (e.g., the monitoring subject 140) (e.g., on the chest, back, waist, or the like of the user), so that the two electrode pieces can be in contact with the body of the user. For example, the two ends of the band 310 can be configured with connecting buckles, and when the connecting buckles at the two ends are buckled, the band 310 can be wrapped around and in contact with the body of the user (e.g., wrapped around and in contact with the waist of the user).
[0113] In some embodiments, the material of the band 310 can include plant fibers (e.g., cotton fibers, hemp fibers, or the like), animal fibers (e.g., wool or the like), synthetic fibers (e.g., acrylic, polyester, or the like), or the like. For example, the band 310 can be knitted from cotton fibers.
[0114] In some embodiments, the band 310 includes at least elastic yarns (e.g., polyester yarns, nylon yarns, or the like), that is, the yarns used to knit the band 310 include at least elastic yarns. For example, the band 310 can be knitted from polyester yarns.
[0115] In some embodiments, the band 310 includes at least elastic yarns and insulating yarns (e.g., cotton yarns, nylon yarns, or the like), that is, the yarns used to knit the band 310 include at least elastic yarns and insulating yarns. For example, the band 310 can be knitted from a mixture of polyester yarns and cotton yarns.
[0116] In some embodiments, the band 310 can be knitted from a mixture of elastic yarns and insulating yarns. Mixed knitting refers to a process in which multiple yarns are mixed in a certain ratio (e.g., 1:5, 2:3, or the like) and then knitted together.
[0117] The two electrode pieces (the first electrode piece 321 and the second electrode piece 322) are arranged in a length direction of the band 310, and each of the two electrode pieces includes an electrode that contacts the body of the user to collect a physiological signal (e.g., an electrocardiogram signal) of the user.
[0118] For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the two electrode pieces include a first electrode piece 321 and a second electrode piece 322, the first electrode piece 321 and the second electrode piece 322 are arranged in a length direction of the band 310, and the two electrode pieces are arranged on an inner surface of the band 310, wherein the first electrode piece 321 and the second electrode piece 322 each include an electrode (not shown in the figure) configured to receive an electrical signal from the body of the user. The inner surface of the band 310 refers to the side of the band 310 that contacts the body of the user (i.e., the side facing the skin of the user), and the outer surface refers to the other side of the band 310 opposite the inner surface (i.e., the side facing away from the skin of the user).
[0119] In some embodiments, the electrode includes a first conductive yarn. The first conductive yarn refers to a yarn with conductivity, for example, the first conductive yarn can be a metal fiber (e.g., silver fiber) yarn, a carbon fiber yarn, or a yarn plated with metal or other conductive material on the surface of an insulating yarn (e.g., silver-plated yarn), etc. Based on this, the electrode can be knitted from the first conductive yarn.
[0120] It should be noted that the electrode pieces and the belt are insulated from each other to ensure that the belt does not affect the electrode from collecting electrical signals from the user's body, and that the liquid soaked on the belt does not make the electrodes in the two electrode pieces conductive. Therefore, there needs to be an insulator (e.g., a waterproof layer 330) between the two electrode pieces and the belt 310.
[0121] FIG. 3C is another structural diagram of an inner surface of a physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification; FIG. 3D is a front view of a physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0122] In some embodiments, each electrode piece further includes an electrode support layer, which is located between the electrode and the waterproof layer. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3C and 3D, the first electrode piece 321 includes a first electrode 323 and a first electrode support layer 325, and the first electrode support layer 325 is located between the first electrode 323 and the waterproof layer 330; the second electrode piece 322 includes a second electrode 324 and a second electrode support layer 326, and the second electrode support layer 326 is located between the second electrode 324 and the waterproof layer 330.
[0123] The electrode support layer includes at least one yarn different from the first conductive yarn. For example, the electrode support layer includes an insulating yarn, a waterproof insulating yarn, etc. For example, the electrode support layer can be knitted from a mixture of insulating yarns and waterproof insulating yarns. The waterproof insulating yarns here can be achieved by various materials or processes, for example, treated with waterproofing aids on the basis of polyester yarns, which are not limited here.
[0124] FIG. 3E is a schematic diagram of a position of a human body where the electrode piece is located according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0125] In some embodiments, the two electrode pieces are located on both sides of the median sagittal plane of the human body, and the two electrode pieces are configured to collect electrocardiogram signals of the human body. For example, taking the two electrode pieces shown in FIG. 3A as an example, the first electrode piece 321 and the second electrode piece 322 can be located on both sides of the median sagittal plane of the human body (e.g., as shown in FIG. 3E, the first electrode piece 321 is located on the left side of the median sagittal plane 380 of the human body, and the second electrode piece 322 is located on the right side of the median sagittal plane 380 of the human body). The median sagittal plane of the human body refers to a sagittal plane located at the median position of the human body, which passes through the navel midline and vertically divides the body into two symmetrical parts.
[0126] In some embodiments, preferably, the positions of the two electrode pieces on the human body are symmetrical with respect to the median sagittal plane of the human body, i.e., the distances of the two electrode pieces to the median sagittal plane of the human body are equal. Exemplarily, taking the two electrode pieces shown in FIG. 3A as an example, the first electrode piece 321 is located at a position on the body surface directly opposite the left ilium, and the second electrode piece 322 is located at a position on the body surface directly opposite the right ilium.
[0127] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, by configuring the two electrode pieces on both sides of the median sagittal plane, the quality of the collected electrocardiosignal can be effectively improved, and the signal-to-noise ratio of the electrocardiosignal can be improved.
[0128] The waterproof layer 330 refers to a structure having waterproof and insulating functions in the physiological signal monitoring device 300. Both of the two electrode pieces are connected to the strap 310 through the waterproof layer 330, i.e., along the thickness direction of the strap 310, the waterproof layer 330 is located between the strap 310 and the electrode pieces. When the strap 310 is wetted by liquid (e.g., sweat, water, etc.), the waterproof layer 330 can prevent the liquid from spreading to the electrode pieces, thereby achieving waterproofing of the electrodes.
[0129] In some embodiments, the waterproof layer 330 includes waterproof and insulating yarn (e.g., acrylic yarn, spandex yarn, etc.), i.e., the yarn used for weaving the waterproof layer 330 includes waterproof and insulating yarn, for example, the waterproof layer 330 can be woven from acrylic yarn.
[0130] In some embodiments, two connection ports are provided on the strap, and the two connection ports are respectively electrically connected to one of the two electrode pieces to achieve data transmission between the electrode pieces and the processing device. The processing device and the connection ports are detachably connected through magnetic attraction.
[0131] As shown in FIG. 3B, the physiological signal monitoring device 300 can further be configured with a connection port 341 and a connection port 342 on the outer surface of the strap 310, and the first electrode 321 and the second electrode 322 can be electrically connected (conducted) with the connection port 341 and the connection port 342, respectively. The connection port 341 and the connection port 342 can be connected (e.g., buckled in a male-female manner) with a transmitter (not shown in the figure), and the transmitter can send the electrical signals (e.g., electrocardiogram potentials) collected by the first electrode 321 and the second electrode 322 to a processing device, and the processing device can determine the physiological signals (e.g., electrocardiogram signals) and / or physiological data (e.g., electrocardiogram) of the monitoring object (e.g., the monitoring object 140) based on the above-mentioned electrical signals. The connection port 341 and the connection port 342 can also be directly connected (e.g., detachably connected by magnetic attraction) with the processing device (not shown in the figure), and the processing device can directly obtain the electrical signals collected by the first electrode 321 and the second electrode 322 through the connection port 341 and the connection port 342, and determine the physiological signals (e.g., electrocardiogram signals) and / or physiological data (e.g., electrocardiogram) of the monitoring object (e.g., the monitoring object 140) based on the above-mentioned electrical signals.
[0132] In some embodiments, each connection port is separately spaced apart from the yarn on the strap, and a waterproof insulating material is filled between the connection port and the strap to achieve insulation between the connection port and the strap.
[0133] FIG. 3F is another front view of a physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0134] As shown in FIG. 3F, a waterproof insulating layer 343 is filled between the connection port 341 and the strap 310, and a waterproof insulating layer 344 is filled between the connection port 342 and the strap 310, so that the connection port 341 and the connection port 342 are separately spaced apart and insulated from the strap 310. The waterproof insulating layer 343 and the waterproof insulating layer 344 can be made of waterproof insulating materials, such as rubber, silicone, etc.
[0135] In some embodiments, the area of the strap in contact with the connection port is woven with insulating yarn to achieve insulation between the connection port and the strap.
[0136] In some embodiments of the present specification, by filling a waterproof insulating material between the connection port and the strap, it can be prevented that the liquid on the strap spreads to the connection port to achieve waterproofing of the connection port, thereby avoiding short circuit when the electrode and the processing device are connected at the connection port.
[0137] In some embodiments, each electrode is connected with the corresponding connection port through a conductive yarn wrapped with insulating material.
[0138] As shown in FIG. 3F, the first electrode piece 321 is connected to the connecting port 341 by the conductive yarn 345, which can be wrapped with an insulating wrapping layer 346; the second electrode piece 322 is connected to the connecting port 342 by the conductive yarn 347, which can be wrapped with an insulating wrapping layer 348. The insulating wrapping layers 346 and 348 can be made of insulating materials, such as rubber, plastic, etc.
[0139] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electrode piece and the corresponding connecting port can be electrically connected by the conductive yarn wrapped with insulating material, and the electrode piece and the corresponding connecting port can be insulated from each other to avoid abnormal electrical connection between the electrodes.
[0140] In some embodiments, the strap 310 and the waterproof layer 330 can be integrally woven. Integrally weaving refers to a process of continuously weaving a whole fabric using multiple yarns (e.g., elastic yarn, insulating yarn, and waterproof insulating yarn). For example, the strap 310 and the waterproof layer 330 can be integrally woven according to the positional relationship shown in FIGS. 3A-3F based on the yarns contained in the strap 310 and the waterproof layer 330 (the strap 310 contains mixed yarns of elastic yarn and insulating yarn, and the waterproof layer 330 contains waterproof insulating yarn), to obtain the shaped strap 310 and the waterproof layer 330. During the weaving process, a transition weaving method (e.g., tuck weaving) can be used when transitioning between the strap 310 and the waterproof layer 330. Further, after the strap 310 and the waterproof layer 330 are woven, the electrodes can be fixed to the surface of the waterproof layer 330 at predetermined positions to complete the combination of the strap, the electrodes, and the waterproof layer included in the physiological signal monitoring device 300. The fixing method can be to sew the electrodes to the surface of the waterproof layer 330 using yarns (e.g., insulating yarn or waterproof insulating yarn), or to paste the electrodes to the surface of the waterproof layer 330 using an adhesive (e.g., conductive adhesive).
[0141] In some embodiments, the electrodes, the waterproof layer 330, and the strap 310 can be integrally woven. During the integrally weaving process, the weaving machine can use conductive yarn to replace the yarn used to weave the surrounding area (e.g., the waterproof layer 330) when weaving the electrodes.
[0142] In some embodiments, the waterproof layer 330 can be woven on the inner surface of the strap 310, and the electrode pieces (including the first electrode piece 321 and the second electrode piece 322) can be woven on the side of the waterproof layer 330 away from the strap 310.
[0143] For example, referring to the physiological signal monitoring device 300 shown in FIG. 3A, when the electrode piece does not include an electrode support layer, the integrated weaving process of the electrode (at this time, the electrode piece only includes the electrode), the strap 310, and the waterproof layer 330 can be as follows: using elastic yarns and insulating yarns to weave the strap 310 with a first preset thickness; using waterproof insulating yarns to weave the waterproof layer 330 with a second preset thickness on the inner surface of the strap 310 in a preset waterproof area; and using the first conductive yarns to weave the electrode on the inner surface of the waterproof layer 330 in a preset electrode area to form the electrode with a third preset thickness. The first preset thickness refers to the preset thickness of the strap 310, which can be preset, for example, 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm, or the like. The second preset thickness refers to the preset thickness of the waterproof layer 330, which can be preset, for example, 1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, or the like. The third preset thickness refers to the preset thickness of the electrode, which can be preset, for example, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, or the like. The preset waterproof area refers to the area on the surface of the strap carrying the waterproof layer, for example, the area where the waterproof layer 330 is located as shown in FIG. 3A. The preset electrode area refers to the area on the surface of the waterproof layer carrying the electrode piece, for example, the area where the first electrode piece 321 and the second electrode piece 322 are located as shown in FIG. 3A. When the electrode piece includes an electrode support layer, the integrated weaving process of the electrode piece, the strap 310, and the waterproof layer 330 can be referred to later.
[0144] It can be understood that, since the diameter of the yarns is generally in microns, the strap 310 obtained by using the above weaving process can include multiple layers of elastic yarns and insulating yarns, the waterproof layer 330 can include multiple layers of waterproof insulating yarns, and the electrode can include multiple layers of first conductive yarns to form respective corresponding thicknesses.
[0145] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, by weaving the electrode piece on the side of the waterproof layer away from the strap, the waterproof layer can prevent the liquid in the strap from spreading to the electrode, thereby achieving waterproofing of the electrode.
[0146] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the integrated weaving of the electrode and the waterproof layer and the strap can simplify the process flow of the physiological signal monitoring device, shorten the process time, and facilitate mass production of the physiological signal monitoring device. Moreover, the electrode and the waterproof layer formed by weaving different yarns have better skin-friendliness and comfort compared to traditional methods.
[0147] In some embodiments, when the electrode piece includes the electrode support layer, the electrode support layer and the electrode can be formed by integrated weaving. For example, the electrode support layer and the electrode can be formed by integrated weaving as follows: the electrode support layer with a fourth preset thickness can be formed by mixed weaving of the insulating yarn and the waterproof insulating yarn; the electrode with a third preset thickness can be formed by weaving the first conductive yarn on the preset electrode area of the one side surface of the electrode support layer, to obtain the electrode piece. Then, the electrode piece can be fixed to the preset electrode position of the inner surface of the waterproof layer 330, to complete the combination of the belt 310, the electrode piece, and the waterproof layer 330 included in the physiological signal monitoring device 300. The fixing method can be that the electrode piece is sewn to the inner surface of the waterproof layer 330 by using the yarn (e.g., the insulating yarn or the waterproof insulating yarn), or the electrode is pasted to the inner surface of the waterproof layer 330 by using the adhesive (e.g., the conductive adhesive). The fourth preset thickness refers to the preset thickness of the electrode support layer, which can be preset, for example, 0.8 mm or 1 mm or 1.5 mm, etc.
[0148] In some embodiments, when the electrode piece includes the electrode support layer, the electrode piece (including the electrode support layer and the electrode), the waterproof layer 330, and the belt 310 can be formed by integrated weaving. For example, the belt 310 and the waterproof layer 330 can be formed by integrated weaving as follows: the belt 310 with a first preset thickness can be formed by mixed weaving of the elastic yarn and the insulating yarn; the waterproof layer 330 with a second preset thickness can be formed by weaving the waterproof insulating yarn on the preset waterproof area of the inner surface of the belt 310; the electrode support layer with a fourth preset thickness can be formed by mixed weaving of the insulating yarn and the waterproof insulating yarn in the preset electrode area; the electrode can be woven on the surface of the electrode support layer by using the first conductive yarn (the area of the electrode is not greater than the area of the electrode support layer), to complete the combination of the belt, the electrode piece (including the electrode support layer and the electrode), and the waterproof layer included in the physiological signal monitoring device 300.
[0149] It can be understood that, when the electrode piece includes the electrode support layer, the electrode can protrude obviously from the inner surface of the belt and the waterproof layer, so that the electrode can better adhere to the human body when the user wears the physiological signal monitoring device. The inner surface of the waterproof layer refers to the surface of the waterproof layer away from the inner surface of the belt (correspondingly, the outer surface of the waterproof layer refers to the surface of the waterproof layer adhering to or embedded in the inner surface of the belt).
[0150] In some embodiments, when the electrode piece does not include the electrode support layer, the thickness of the electrode can be the sum of the third preset thickness and the fourth preset thickness, so that the electrode can protrude obviously from the inner surface of the belt and the waterproof layer.
[0151] In some embodiments, in the non-wearing state, the inner surface of each electrode piece protrudes from the inner surface of the strap by a protruding distance between 0.1 mm and 5 mm. The non-wearing state refers to the natural state of the physiological signal monitoring device when it is not worn by a user. The inner surface of the electrode piece refers to the surface of the electrode piece that contacts the user's body (i.e., the surface of the electrode that contacts the user's body).
[0152] The protruding distance refers to the distance between the inner surface of the electrode piece and the inner surface of the strap in the thickness direction of the strap. As shown in FIG. 3D, d1 is the protruding distance.
[0153] FIG. 3G is another front view of a physiological signal monitoring device, according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0154] In some embodiments, when the inner surface of the electrode piece is not planar, the protruding distance refers to the maximum distance between the inner surface of the electrode piece and the inner surface of the strap in the thickness direction of the strap. As shown in FIG. 3G, the inner surface of the electrode piece is not planar, and d2 is the protruding distance.
[0155] In some embodiments of the present specification, the electrode piece including the electrode support layer can ensure that the electrode protrudes significantly from the strap and the waterproof layer, so as to ensure that the electrode can adhere to the human body when the user wears the physiological signal monitoring device, thereby enhancing the stability of the physiological signal acquisition and improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the acquired physiological signal. By setting the protruding distance, the close adhesion of the electrode to the human body can be ensured.
[0156] In some embodiments, when the strap 310, the electrode piece, and the waterproof layer 330 are integrally woven, the waterproof layer 330 can be embedded in the strap 310 and / or the electrode piece can be embedded in the waterproof layer 330. Embedding refers to the fact that the projection of the waterproof layer 330 and the strap 310, or the projection of the electrode piece and the waterproof layer 330 in the thickness direction of the strap 310 at least partially overlaps.
[0157] FIG. 3H is another front view of a physiological signal monitoring device, according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0158] As shown in FIG. 3H, when integrally woven, a portion of the waterproof layer 330 can be embedded in the strap 310 and a portion of the electrode piece (including the first electrode piece 321 and the second electrode piece 322) can be embedded in the waterproof layer 330 in the thickness direction of the strap 310. Further, as shown in FIG. 3H, if the electrode piece includes an electrode support layer (the first electrode piece 321 includes the first electrode 323 and the first electrode support layer 325, and the second electrode piece 322 includes the second electrode 324 and the second electrode support layer 326), a portion of the electrode can also be embedded in the electrode support layer (a portion of the first electrode 323 is embedded in the first electrode support layer 325, and a portion of the second electrode 324 is embedded in the second electrode support layer 326), thereby obtaining the structure of the physiological signal monitoring device 300 as shown in FIG. 3H.
[0159] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the overall thickness of the physiological signal monitoring device can be reduced by embedding the strap in the waterproof layer, embedding the electrode member in the waterproof layer, and even embedding the electrode in the electrode support layer, which is conducive to improving the wearing comfort of the user.
[0160] In some embodiments, the strap 310 includes a first region and a second region, and the elasticity of the first region is less than the elasticity of the second region. The first region is the projected region of the electrode on the strap 310, and the second region is non-overlapping with the first region. For example, as shown in FIG. 3D, the projected region of the first electrode 323 on the strap 310 is the first sub-region 3111, and the projected region of the second electrode 324 on the strap 310 is the second sub-region 3112. The first sub-region 3111 and the second sub-region 3112 form the first region 311. Based on this, the second region is located in the other region of the strap 310 that is not the first region 311, for example, the region of the strap 310 that is not covered by the waterproof layer 330.
[0161] In some embodiments, in order to make the elasticity of the first region less than the elasticity of the second region, the density of the elastic yarn in the first region is less than the density of the elastic yarn in the second region. The density of the elastic yarn refers to the proportion of the elastic yarn used to weave the strap 310. For example, if the proportion of the elastic yarn to other yarns (e.g., insulating yarns) used to weave the strap 310 is 1:4, then the density of the elastic yarn is 20%. In some embodiments, preferably, the density of the elastic yarn in the first region is less than 70%. In some embodiments, preferably, the density of the elastic yarn in the second region is greater than 30%.
[0162] In some embodiments, in order to make the elasticity of the first region less than the elasticity of the second region, the elasticity of the elastic yarn in the first region is greater than the elasticity of the elastic yarn in the second region, for example, the elastic yarn in the first region is a nylon yarn, and the elastic yarn in the second region is a polyester yarn (the elasticity of nylon is greater than that of polyester).
[0163] In some embodiments, in order to make the elasticity of the first region less than the elasticity of the second region, the elastic yarn in the first region is tightened when weaving the first region, and the elastic yarn in the second region is not tightened (i.e., remains in a relatively relaxed state) when weaving the second region.
[0164] In some embodiments, the first region does not contain elastic yarn, i.e., the density of the elastic yarn in the first region is 0.
[0165] It should be noted that, since the positional relationship between the electrode and the strap is relatively fixed, when the user wears the physiological signal monitoring device and exercises, the elasticity of the strap will affect the deformation size of the electrode, and then affect the signal-to-noise ratio of the physiological signal collected by the electrode. For example, when the elasticity of the electrode region (i.e., the first region) on the strap is relatively large, the electrode region is prone to deformation, which causes the electrode located in the electrode region to deform, thereby affecting the quality of the physiological signal collected by the electrode, and further causing the signal-to-noise ratio to decrease. The elasticity of the strap is mainly affected by the density of the elastic yarn in the strap. The greater the density of the elastic yarn, the stronger the elasticity of the strap and the more prone to deformation. Based on this, in some embodiments of the present specification, the density of the elastic yarn in the electrode region is set to be less than the density of the elastic yarn in the non-electrode region (i.e., the second region), so as to reduce the elasticity of the electrode region, thereby weakening the decrease in the signal-to-noise ratio caused by the deformation of the electrode; by setting the density of the elastic yarn in the electrode region to 0, the elasticity of the electrode region can be further reduced.
[0166] In some embodiments, the strap includes a second conductive yarn, and the second conductive yarn realizes electrostatic shielding for the two electrode pieces.
[0167] The second conductive yarn refers to a yarn with conductivity. For example, the second conductive yarn can be a metal fiber (e.g., silver fiber) yarn, a carbon fiber yarn, or a yarn with a metal or other conductive substance plated on the surface of an insulating yarn (e.g., a silver-plated yarn), etc.
[0168] Electrostatic shielding refers to a state in which the electrode pieces of the physiological signal monitoring device are not affected by external charges or electric fields (e.g., electrostatic fields). For example, based on the structure of the physiological signal monitoring device 300 as shown in FIG. 3A, when there is electrostatic on the outer surface of the strap 310, the electrostatic charge can enter the human body through the part of the second conductive yarn located on the outer surface of the strap 310, the part of the second conductive yarn located inside the strap 310, and the part of the second conductive yarn located on the inner surface of the strap 310 in sequence, so that the electrostatic charge cannot affect the first electrode piece 321 and the second electrode piece 322.
[0169] FIG. 3I is a structure diagram of an inner surface of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification; FIG. 3J is a structure diagram of an outer surface of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification; FIG. 3K is a front view of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification; and FIG. 3L is another front view of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0170] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 3I-3L, the physiological signal monitoring device 300 can include a strap 310, two electrode pieces (a first electrode piece 321 and a second electrode piece 322), and a waterproof layer 330. Among them, the strap 310 is arranged with one or more second conductive yarns 312 (for example, a first second conductive yarn 3121, a second second conductive yarn 3122, a third second conductive yarn 3123, etc.). A first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 is located on the outer surface of the strap 310, or between the inner surface and the outer surface of the strap 310, so that each electrode piece is at least partially located between the first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 and the user's body, and a second portion 360 (including a left second portion 361 and a right second portion 362) of the second conductive yarn extends to the inner surface of the strap 310 and conducts the first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 to the user's body, achieving electrostatic shielding for each electrode piece.
[0171] In some embodiments, the strap 310 is formed by at least mixing and weaving elastic yarns (for example, polyester yarns) and insulating yarns (for example, spandex yarns), and the second conductive yarn 312 is shuttle-woven on the inner surface and the outer surface of the strap 310. As shown in FIGS. 3I and 3J, the strap 310 can include an elastic portion 370 (white portion in the figure) composed of elastic yarns and insulating yarns, and multiple second conductive yarns 312 (black portion in the figure, including a first second conductive yarn 3121, a second second conductive yarn 3122, and a third second conductive yarn 3123).
[0172] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3K, the second conductive yarn 312 includes a plurality of second conductive yarns (e.g., a first second conductive yarn 3121, a second second conductive yarn 3122, a third second conductive yarn 3123), which can be shuttle-woven on the inner surface and the outer surface of the strip 310, respectively, to form a first portion 350 and a second portion 360 of the second conductive yarn 312. Among them, the first portion 350 includes the portion of the second conductive yarn 312 located on the outer surface of the strip 310 and the portion located between the outer surface and the inner surface of the strip 310 (e.g., including the portion of the first second conductive yarn 3121, the second second conductive yarn 3122, and the third second conductive yarn 3123 located on the outer surface of the strip 310 and the portion located between the outer surface and the inner surface of the strip 310), and the second portion 360 includes the portion located on the inner surface of the strip 310 (e.g., including the portion of the first second conductive yarn 3121, the second second conductive yarn 3122, and the third second conductive yarn 3123 located on the inner surface of the strip 310); the portion of the second conductive yarn 312 located between the inner surface and the outer surface of the strip 310 is called a first internal conductive yarn, for example, the first internal conductive yarn 3124 in FIG. 3K. The internal conductive yarn portion (e.g., the first internal conductive yarn 3124) of the second conductive yarn 312 can conduct the portion of the second conductive yarn 312 located on the inner surface of the strip 310 and the portion located on the outer surface of the strip 310 to achieve electrostatic shielding.
[0173] To achieve the structure of the physiological signal monitoring device 300 described in the above embodiments, the weaving process of the physiological signal monitoring device 300 can be: first, weaving the strip 310 based on the elastic yarn and the insulating yarn, and then respectively shuttle-weaving each of the plurality of second conductive yarns (e.g., the first second conductive yarn 3121, the second second conductive yarn 3122, and the third second conductive yarn 3123) included in the second conductive yarn 312 on the inner surface and the outer surface of the strip 310.
[0174] The specific process of the above shuttle weaving can include: parallel weaving the plurality of second conductive yarns included in the second conductive yarn 312. For example, the first second conductive yarn 3121, the second second conductive yarn 3122, and the third second conductive yarn 3123 are shuttle-woven along the length direction of the strip 310 with a certain interval (equal interval or unequal interval) in the width direction of the strip 310 (the length of each conductive yarn used is sufficient to weave from the beginning to the end in the length direction of the strip 310), thereby obtaining the second conductive yarn 312 (including three second conductive yarns arranged in parallel with an interval in the width direction of the strip 310, i.e., the first second conductive yarn 3121, the second second conductive yarn 3122, and the third second conductive yarn 3123 arranged in parallel with an interval in the width direction of the strip 310).
[0175] Based on the structure of the physiological signal monitoring device 300 as shown in FIG. 3K, when static electricity exists on the outer surface of the strap 310, the static charge can enter the human body via the first portion 350 (the portion of the second conductive yarn 312 located on the outer surface of the strap 310 (for example, the portion of the first strand of the second conductive yarn 3121 located on the outer surface of the strap 310), the first internal conductive yarn 3124, the second portion 360 (the portion of the second conductive yarn 312 located on the inner surface of the strap 310 (for example, the portion of the first strand of the second conductive yarn 3121 located on the inner surface of the strap 310)) in sequence, so that the static charge cannot affect the first electrode piece 321 and the second electrode piece 322.
[0176] In some embodiments of the present specification, the elastic thread is used to weave the strap, which can ensure that the strap has good elasticity and softness, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the user; the conductive yarn (second conductive yarn) is interlaced on the inner and outer surfaces of the strap, which can make the conductive yarn form a conductive area on the outer surface to disperse static electricity and introduce static electricity into the human body, thereby achieving static shielding of the electrode.
[0177] In some embodiments, the strap 310 can be formed by interlacing at least elastic yarn, insulating yarn and second conductive yarn. The interlacing refers to that the elastic yarn, the insulating yarn and the second conductive yarn are mixed in a certain proportion (for example, 1:3:5, 1:2:3, etc.) to form an integral body, and the integral body is interlaced to form the strap 310.
[0178] As shown in FIG. 3L, based on the hybrid weaving manner of the strip 310 described above, the second conductive yarn 312 (e.g., the first strand of the second conductive yarn 3121, the second strand of the second conductive yarn 3122, the third strand of the second conductive yarn 3123) can include a first portion 350 and a second portion 360, wherein the first portion 350 includes the portion of the second conductive yarn 312 located on the outer surface of the strip 310 and the portion located between the outer surface and the inner surface of the strip 310 (e.g., including the portion of the first strand of the second conductive yarn 3121, the second strand of the second conductive yarn 3122, the third strand of the second conductive yarn 3123 located on the outer surface of the strip 310 and the portion located between the outer surface and the inner surface of the strip 310), and the second portion 360 includes the portion located on the inner surface of the strip 310 (e.g., including the portion of the first strand of the second conductive yarn 3121, the second strand of the second conductive yarn 3122, the third strand of the second conductive yarn 3123 located on the inner surface of the strip 310); the portion of the second conductive yarn 312 located between the inner surface and the outer surface of the strip 310 is referred to as a second internal conductive yarn, for example, the second internal conductive yarn 3125 in FIG. 3L. The internal conductive yarn (e.g., the second internal conductive yarn 3125) portion of the second conductive yarn 312 can conduct the portion of the second conductive yarn 312 located on the inner surface of the strip 310 and the portion located on the outer surface of the strip 310 (each internal conductive yarn corresponds to a conductive channel, and each conductive channel can independently conduct the portion of the second conductive yarn 312 located on the inner surface of the strip 310 and the portion located on the outer surface of the strip 310) to achieve static shielding.
[0179] In some embodiments of the present specification, when the number of conductive channels is small, the breakage of the conductive yarn at the conductive channel can affect the static shielding effect. In the weaving manner of the mixed weaving of the elastic yarn, the insulating yarn and the conductive yarn (the second conductive yarn), since the conductive yarn is distributed in each layer of the strip (the weaving process causes the strip to form a multi-layer structure during weaving), the number of internal and external surface conductive channels is increased, thereby better guiding the static electricity on the outer surface into the human body and improving the stability of the static shielding.
[0180] In some embodiments, the first portion of the second conductive yarn and the second portion of the conductive yarn each include a plurality of conductive channels arranged side by side in the width direction of the strip.
[0181] The conductive channel refers to a channel through which charges (e.g., static electricity) can flow. For example, each strand of the second conductive yarn in the strip can correspond to a conductive channel. The number of conductive channels can be preset by the designer or producer of the physiological signal monitoring device, and the number of conductive yarns described above is woven into the strip of the physiological signal monitoring device during production to obtain the number of conductive channels. For example, the number of conductive channels can be 3, 4 or 5, etc.
[0182] For example, as shown in FIG. 3I and FIG. 3J, the first portion 350 and the second portion 360 of the second conductive yarn 312 each include 3 second conductive yarns (a first second conductive yarn 3121, a second second conductive yarn 3122, and a third second conductive yarn 3123) arranged side by side in the width direction of the tape 310, and the first second conductive yarn 3121, the second second conductive yarn 3122, and the third second conductive yarn 3123 correspond to one conductive channel respectively. Based on this, the first portion 350 and the second portion 360 of the second conductive yarn 312 each include 3 conductive channels arranged side by side in the width direction of the tape 310.
[0183] In some embodiments of the present specification, the conductive yarn (the second conductive yarn) forms a plurality of conductive channels arranged side by side in the width direction of the tape, and each conductive channel in the plurality of conductive channels can guide the static electricity on the outer surface into the human body, thereby achieving the static shielding of the electrode.
[0184] In some embodiments, each conductive channel in the plurality of conductive channels is curved and woven into a wave shape along the length direction of the tape by the conductive wire.
[0185] FIG. 3M is another structural diagram of an inner surface of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification;
[0186] FIG. 3N is another structural diagram of an outer surface of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0187] As shown in FIG. 3M and FIG. 3N, each of the second conductive yarns (for example, the first second conductive yarn 3121, the second second conductive yarn 3122, and the third second conductive yarn 3123) in the second conductive yarn 312 in the tape 310 is curved and woven into a wave shape along the length direction of the tape 310, and based on this, the conductive channel corresponding to the second conductive yarn 312 is curved into a wave shape along the length direction of the tape 310.
[0188] In some embodiments, the shape of each conductive channel in the plurality of conductive channels in the length direction of the tape can also be a Z-shaped line, a right-angle wave line, etc., which is not limited herein.
[0189] In some embodiments of the present specification, the conductive yarn (or the conductive channel) is woven into a wave shape, which can reserve a stretching displacement for the conductive wire, so as to ensure that the wave-shaped conductive channel formed by the conductive yarn is stretchable in the length direction, so that the conductive wire is not easy to break when the tape is stretched, thereby ensuring that the tape as a whole has good elasticity and stretchability.
[0190] In some embodiments, the two electrode pieces include a first electrode piece and a second electrode piece spaced along the length direction of the strap, and the first portion of the second conductive yarn forms one or more conductive regions, the one or more conductive regions covering the first electrode piece and the second electrode piece.
[0191] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3I, the two electrode pieces include a first electrode piece 321 and a second electrode piece 322 spaced along the length direction of the strap 310. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3J, the first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 forms a first conductive region 351 and a second conductive region 352 insulated from each other, the first conductive region 351 covering the outside of the first electrode piece 321 and insulated from the first electrode piece 321, and the second conductive region 352 covering the outside of the second electrode piece 322 and insulated from the second electrode piece 322.
[0192] Covering means that the projection area of the electrode piece is contained within the projection area of the corresponding conductive region. The projection area refers to the area corresponding to the projection of the conductive region or the electrode piece in the thickness direction of the strap. In some embodiments, considering that the conductive yarn within the conductive region forms multiple conductive channels spaced and arranged side by side, rather than filling the entire conductive region in a continuous distribution, when the conductive region “covers” the outside of the electrode piece, it means that the projection of the conductive region has the two farthest boundaries (e.g., corresponding to the two points farthest apart along the length direction (or width direction)) in the length direction (or width direction) of the strap, and the projection area of the electrode piece is located between the two boundaries in the length direction (or width direction).
[0193] In some embodiments, the first conductive region covers the first electrode piece in the length direction of the strap, and the second conductive region covers the second electrode piece in the length direction of the strap.
[0194] FIG. 3O is a front projection view of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0195] For example, as shown in FIG. 3O, the projected long side 321-1 of the first electrode member 321 (the side of the projected area of the first electrode member 321 that is parallel to the length direction of the strip 310) is contained in the projected long side 351-1 of the first conductive region 351 (the side of the projected area of the first conductive region 351 that is parallel to the length direction of the strip 310), and the projected long side 322-1 of the second electrode member 322 (the side of the projected area of the second electrode member 322 that is parallel to the length direction of the strip 310) is contained in the projected long side 352-1 of the second conductive region 352 (the side of the projected area of the second conductive region 352 that is parallel to the length direction of the strip 310), such that the first conductive region 351 covers the first electrode member 321 in the length direction of the strip 310, and the second conductive region 352 covers the second electrode member 322 in the length direction of the strip 310. For example, when the projected long side 321-1 of the first electrode member 321 is contained in the projected long side 351-1 of the first conductive region 351, the above-mentioned containing means that the length of the projected long side 321-1 of the first electrode member 321 is not greater than the length of the projected long side 351-1 of the first conductive region 351, and the projected long side 321-1 of the first electrode member 321 is located within the projected long side 351-1 of the first conductive region 351 in spatial position. The same applies to the containing relationship described hereinafter.
[0196] In some embodiments of the present specification, by setting the conductive region to cover the corresponding electrode member in the length direction, the conductive region can disperse the static electricity near the outer surface directly opposite the electrode member, thereby minimizing or eliminating the influence of the static electricity on the electrode.
[0197] In some embodiments, the first conductive region covers the first electrode member in the width direction of the strip, and the second conductive region covers the second electrode member in the width direction of the strip 310.
[0198] FIG. 3P is a side view projection schematic diagram of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification. In FIG. 3P, the left and right diagrams are respectively the side view projection schematic diagrams when viewed from two opposite sides of the physiological signal monitoring device 300.
[0199] As shown in FIG. 3P, for example, the projected wide side 321-2 of the first electrode member 321 (a side of the projected area of the first electrode member 321 that is parallel to the width direction of the strap 310) is contained within the projected wide side 351-2 of the first conductive region 351 (a side of the projected area of the first conductive region 351 that is parallel to the width direction of the strap 310), and the projected wide side 322-2 of the second electrode member 322 (a side of the projected area of the second electrode member 322 that is parallel to the width direction of the strap 310) is contained within the projected wide side 352-2 of the second conductive region 352 (a side of the projected area of the second conductive region 352 that is parallel to the width direction of the strap 310), such that the first conductive region 351 covers the first electrode member 321 in the width direction of the strap 310, and the second conductive region 352 covers the second electrode member 322 in the width direction of the strap 310.
[0200] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, by arranging the conductive region to cover the corresponding electrode member in the width direction, the conductive region can dissipate the static electricity near the outer surface directly opposite the electrode member, thereby minimizing or eliminating the influence of the static electricity on the electrode.
[0201] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the static electricity that has the greatest influence on the electrode is the static electricity near the outer surface directly opposite the electrode member. By arranging the conductive region to cover the corresponding electrode member, the conductive region can dissipate the static electricity near the outer surface directly opposite the electrode member, thereby minimizing or eliminating the influence of the static electricity on the electrode.
[0202] In some embodiments, the first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 can form a conductive region that covers the first electrode member 321 and the second electrode member 322 in the length direction of the strap. In combination with FIG. 3J, the first conductive region 351 and the second conductive region 352 corresponding to the first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 can be conductive, forming a conductive region corresponding to the first portion 350 that covers the first electrode member 321 and the second electrode member 322 in the length direction of the strap 310.
[0203] In some embodiments, the conductive region corresponding to the first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 covers the first electrode member 321 and the second electrode member 322 in the length direction.
[0204] FIG. 3Q is another front projection view of another physiological signal monitoring device, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0205] For example, as shown in FIG. 3Q, the projected long side 321-1 of the first electrode member 321 and the projected long side 322-1 of the second electrode member 322 are both contained within the projected long side 350-1 of the first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 (the side of the projected area of the first portion 350 that is parallel to the length direction of the strap 310), such that the conductive area corresponding to the first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 covers the first electrode member 321 and the second electrode member 322 in the length direction of the strap 310.
[0206] In some embodiments, the one conductive area formed by the first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 covers the first electrode member and the second electrode member in the width direction of the strap.
[0207] FIG. 3R is another side view projection schematic diagram of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification. In FIG. 3R, the left diagram and the right diagram are respectively a side view projection schematic diagram when viewed from two opposite sides of the physiological signal monitoring device 300.
[0208] For example, as shown in FIG. 3R, the projected wide side 321-2 of the first electrode member 321 and the projected wide side 322-2 of the second electrode member 322 are both contained within the projected wide side 350-2 of the first portion 350 of the second conductive yarn 312 (the side of the projected area of the first portion 350 that is parallel to the width direction of the strap 310), such that the conductive area covers the first electrode member 321 and the second electrode member 322 in the width direction of the strap 310.
[0209] In some embodiments of the present specification, by setting the conductive area to cover the two electrode members in the width direction, the conductive area can be able to dissipate electrostatics near the outer surfaces of the two electrode members that are facing each other, thereby minimizing or eliminating the influence of the electrostatics on the electrodes.
[0210] In some embodiments of the present specification, by connecting the two conductive areas to form one conductive area, the ability of the conductive area to dissipate electrostatics can be further enhanced, and by setting the conductive area to cover the two electrode members in the length direction, the influence of the electrostatics on the electrodes can be minimized or eliminated.
[0211] FIG. 4A is a structure diagram of an inner surface of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification; FIG. 4B is a structure diagram of an outer surface of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification; and FIG. 4C is another structure diagram of an outer surface of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0212] In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the physiological signal monitoring device 400 can include a strap 410, two electrode pieces (including a third electrode piece 421 and a fourth electrode piece 422), a plurality of static electricity protection sheets 440, a grounding electrode 450, and a waterproof layer 460.
[0213] Similar to the strap 210 or the strap 310, the strap 410 is a base structure of the physiological signal monitoring device 400, configured to be worn on a user’s (e.g., the monitoring subject 140) body such that the two electrode pieces can be in contact with the user’s body. For example, the two ends of the strap 410 can be configured with connecting buckles, when the connecting buckles of the two ends are buckled, the strap 410 can be wrapped around and in contact with the wearing part of the monitoring subject 140 (e.g., wrapped around and in contact with the user’s waist).
[0214] Similar to the strap 310, the material of the strap 410 can include plant fibers (e.g., cotton fibers, hemp fibers, etc.), animal fibers (e.g., wool, etc.), synthetic fibers (e.g., acrylic, polyester, etc.), etc. For example, the strap can be woven from cotton fibers.
[0215] In some embodiments, the strap 410 at least includes elastic yarns (e.g., polyester yarns, nylon yarns, etc.), that is, the yarns used to weave the strap 410 at least include elastic yarns, for example, the strap 410 can be woven from polyester yarns.
[0216] In some embodiments, the strap 410 at least includes elastic yarns and insulating yarns (e.g., cotton yarns, spandex yarns, etc.), that is, the yarns used to weave the strap 410 at least include elastic yarns and insulating yarns, for example, the strap 410 can be woven from a mixture of polyester yarns and cotton yarns.
[0217] The two electrode pieces (the third electrode piece 421 and the fourth electrode piece 422) are arranged in a length direction of the strap 410, and each of the two electrode pieces includes an electrode in contact with the user’s body to collect a human physiological signal (e.g., an electrocardiosignal).
[0218] For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the two electrode pieces include the third electrode piece 421 and the fourth electrode piece 422, the third electrode piece 421 and the fourth electrode piece 422 are arranged in a length direction of the strap 410, and the two electrode pieces are arranged on an inner surface of the strap 410, wherein the third electrode piece 421 and the fourth electrode piece 422 each include an electrode (not shown in the figure) configured to receive an electrical signal from the user’s body. The inner surface of the strap 410 refers to the side of the strap 410 in contact with the user’s body (i.e., the side facing the human skin), and the outer surface refers to the other side of the strap 410 opposite to the inner surface (i.e., the side away from the human skin).
[0219] In some embodiments, the physiological signal monitoring device can further be configured with two connection ports on the outer surface of the strap, each of the two connection ports can be in electrical communication with each of the two electrode members. The two connection ports can be connected (e.g., connected in a snap buckle manner) with a transmitter, and the transmitter can transmit the electrical signals (e.g., electrocardiogram potentials) collected by the plurality of electrodes to a processing device, and the processing device can determine the physiological signals (e.g., electrocardiogram signals) and / or physiological data (e.g., electrocardiogram) of the monitoring subject (e.g., the monitoring subject 140) based on the electrical signals.
[0220] For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the physiological signal monitoring device 400 can further be configured with a connection port 431 and a connection port 432 on the outer surface of the strap 410, and the third electrode member 421 and the fourth electrode member 422 included in the two electrode members can be in electrical communication with the connection port 431 and the connection port 432, respectively. The connection port 431 and the connection port 432 can be connected (e.g., connected in a snap buckle manner) with a transmitter (not shown in the figure), and the transmitter can transmit the electrical signals (e.g., electrocardiogram potentials) collected by the third electrode member 421 and the fourth electrode member 422 to a processing device, so as to determine the physiological signals (e.g., electrocardiogram signals) and / or physiological data (e.g., electrocardiogram) of the monitoring subject (e.g., the monitoring subject 140) based on the electrical signals. The connection port 431 and the connection port 432 can also be directly connected (e.g., detachably connected by magnetic attraction) with the processing device (not shown in the figure), and the processing device can directly acquire the electrical signals collected by the third electrode member 421 and the fourth electrode member 422 through the connection port 431 and the connection port 432, and determine the physiological signals (e.g., electrocardiogram signals) and / or physiological data (e.g., electrocardiogram) of the monitoring subject (e.g., the monitoring subject 140) based on the electrical signals.
[0221] The plurality of electrostatic protection sheets can be arranged on the outer surface of the strap 410, or between the inner surface and the outer surface, so that the two electrode members (e.g., the third electrode member 421 and the fourth electrode member 422) are located between the electrostatic protection sheets and the body of the user (e.g., the monitoring subject 140). For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the plurality of electrostatic protection sheets 440 of the physiological signal monitoring device 400 are arranged on the outer surface of the strap 410, and cover the two electrode members in the thickness direction of the strap 410, so that the two electrode members are located between the plurality of electrostatic protection sheets 440 and the body of the user.
[0222] The electrostatic protection sheet refers to a conductive sheet for receiving electrostatic charges on the outer surface of the physiological signal monitoring device (e.g., electrostatic charges generated by friction between the human body and the clothes worn by the human body). The material of the electrostatic protection sheet can be a conductive material with low hardness, such as conductive rubber, conductive silicone, etc.
[0223] In some embodiments, the plurality of electrostatic protection sheets are arranged side by side along the length direction of the strap.
[0224] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4B, the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 are arranged in parallel along the length direction of the strip 410. The parallel arrangement means that the reference points of each of the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 are located on the same reference line, where the reference point of an electrostatic protection piece can be pre-set (e.g., pre-set as the geometric center point of the electrostatic protection piece). The reference line refers to a straight line in the strip 410 that is parallel to the length direction of the strip 410 (e.g., the center line of the strip 410 that is parallel to the length direction of the strip 410). The shape of each of the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 can be pre-selected (e.g., as shown in FIG. 4B, each of the electrostatic protection pieces is rectangular), and the length of each of the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 in the length direction of the strip 410 can be the same or different, and the length of each of the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 in the width direction of the strip 410 can also be the same or different.
[0225] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4C, the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 are arranged in staggered manner along the length direction of the strip 410. The staggered arrangement means that the reference points of at least some of the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 are not located on the same reference line.
[0226] In some embodiments, at least some of the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces are electrically connected through a conductive wire.
[0227] For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the electrostatic protection piece 441 and the electrostatic protection piece 442 in the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 are connected to each other through the conductive wire 443 to realize the conduction between the electrostatic protection piece 441 and the electrostatic protection piece 442.
[0228] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, at least some of the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces are electrically connected through a conductive wire, so that the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces can form a large conductive area, thereby facilitating the dispersion of static electricity near the outer surface directly opposite the signal electrode piece, and thus minimizing or eliminating the influence of the static electricity on the electrode.
[0229] In some embodiments, the distance between the connection points of two adjacent electrostatic protection pieces and the conductive wire is less than the natural length of the conductive wire.
[0230] For example, as shown in FIG. 4B, the distance between the connection points (connection point 443-1 and connection point 443-2) of the adjacent electrostatic protection piece 441 and the electrostatic protection piece 442 and the conductive wire 443 is less than the natural length of the conductive wire 443.
[0231] To realize that the distance between the connection points of two adjacent electrostatic protection pieces and the conductive wire is less than the natural length of the conductive wire, the shape of the conductive wire between the two adjacent electrostatic protection pieces can be a wave shape, a zigzag shape, etc., which is not limited herein.
[0232] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the distance between the two adjacent electrostatic protection pieces and the connection point of the conductive wire to be less than the natural length of the conductive wire, the length of the conductive wire available for stretching can be reserved, thereby improving the stretchability of the conductive wire, and further improving the stretchability of the physiological signal monitoring device.
[0233] In some embodiments, the conductive wire 443 is an elastic conductive wire, which can elastically stretch along the axial direction of the conductive wire (parallel to the length direction of the strap 410 in FIG. 4B). For example, when the strap 410 is stretched, the conductive wire 443 also stretches in the axial direction. For another example, when the strap 410 rebounds from the stretched state, the conductive wire 443 also shortens in the axial direction. The material of the conductive wire 443 can be a mixed wire of metal wire (for example, silver wire) and elastic wire (for example, rubber wire).
[0234] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the conductive wire to be an elastic conductive wire, the elasticity of the strap as a whole can be improved.
[0235] In some embodiments, the two electrode pieces include two third electrode pieces and fourth electrode pieces spaced apart along the length direction of the strap, the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces are electrically connected in sequence by the conductive wire (so that the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces are conductive), and the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces form a conductive area, which covers the third electrode pieces and the fourth electrode pieces in the length direction of the strap.
[0236] For example, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the plurality of signal electrodes 420 includes two third electrode pieces 421 and fourth electrode pieces 422 spaced apart along the length direction of the strap. As shown in FIG. 4B, at least some adjacent electrostatic protection pieces in the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 are electrically connected by the conductive wire (for example, the conductive wire 443), and the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 form an integral conductive area (the area where the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 are located in FIG. 4B). In order to make the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 form an integral conductive area, the first part of the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 (for example, the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces on the left) and the second part of the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces 440 (for example, the plurality of electrostatic protection pieces on the right) are conductive, that is, the last electrostatic protection piece 446 of the first part and the first electrostatic protection piece 447 of the second part are conductive (not shown in the figure).

[0238] For example, as shown in FIG. 4D, the projected long side 421-1 of the third electrode piece 421 (a side of the projected area of the third electrode piece 421 that is parallel to the length direction of the tape 410) and the projected long side 422-1 of the fourth electrode piece 422 (a side of the projected area of the fourth electrode piece 422 that is parallel to the length direction of the tape 410) are both contained within the projected long side 440-1 of the conductive area formed by the plurality of electrostatic protection sheets 440 (a side of the projected area of the conductive area formed by the plurality of electrostatic protection sheets 440 that is parallel to the length direction of the tape 410), such that the conductive area formed by the plurality of electrostatic protection sheets 440 covers the third electrode piece 421 and the fourth electrode piece 422 in the length direction of the tape 410.
[0239] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, since the electrostatic that has the greatest impact on the signal electrode is the electrostatic near the outer surface directly opposite the signal electrode, by setting the conductive area to cover two signal electrode pieces, the conductive area can disperse the electrostatic near the outer surface directly opposite the signal electrode piece, thereby greatly weakening or eliminating the impact of the electrostatic on the electrode.
[0240] In some embodiments, the conductive area covers the third electrode piece and the fourth electrode piece in the width direction of the tape.

[0242] For example, as shown in FIG. 4E, the projected long side 421-1 of the third electrode piece 421 (a side of the projected area of the third electrode piece 421 that is parallel to the length direction of the tape 410) and the projected long side 422-1 of the fourth electrode piece 422 (a side of the projected area of the fourth electrode piece 422 that is parallel to the length direction of the tape 410) are both contained within the projected long side 440-1 of the conductive area formed by the plurality of electrostatic protection sheets 440 (a side of the projected area of the conductive area formed by the plurality of electrostatic protection sheets 440 that is parallel to the length direction of the tape 410), such that the conductive area formed by the plurality of electrostatic protection sheets 440 covers the third electrode piece 421 and the fourth electrode piece 422 in the length direction of the tape 410.
[0243] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, by setting the conductive area to cover two signal electrode pieces in the width direction, the conductive area can disperse the electrostatic near the outer surface directly opposite the signal electrode piece, thereby greatly weakening or eliminating the impact of the electrostatic on the electrode.

[0246] In some embodiments of the present specification, by arranging different conductive regions to cover the corresponding electrode pieces, the different conductive regions can disperse the static electricity near the outer surface directly opposite the electrode pieces, thereby minimizing or eliminating the influence of the static electricity on the electrode pieces.
[0247] In some embodiments, the first conductive region covers the third electrode piece in the length direction of the strap, and the second conductive region covers the fourth electrode piece in the length direction of the strap.
[0248] FIG. 4F is another front projection view of another physiological signal monitoring device according to some embodiments of the present specification.
[0249] For example, as shown in FIG. 4F, the projected long side 421-1 of the third electrode piece 421 is contained within the projected long side 444-1 of the first conductive region 444 (the side of the projected region of the first conductive region 444 that is parallel to the length direction of the strap 410), and the projected long side 422-1 of the fourth electrode piece 422 is contained within the projected long side 445-1 of the second conductive region 445 (the side of the projected region of the second conductive region 445 that is parallel to the length direction of the strap 410), so that the first conductive region 444 covers the third electrode piece 421 in the length direction of the strap 310, and the second conductive region 445 covers the fourth electrode piece 422 in the length direction of the strap 310.
[0250] In some embodiments of the present specification, by setting different conductive regions to cover the corresponding electrode pieces in the length direction of the strap, the different conductive regions can disperse the static electricity near the outer surface directly opposite the electrode pieces, thereby minimizing or eliminating the influence of the static electricity on the electrodes.
[0251] In some embodiments, the first conductive region covers the third electrode piece in the width direction of the strap, and the second conductive region covers the fourth electrode piece in the width direction of the strap.

In FIG. 4G, the left and right diagrams are side view projection schematic diagrams when viewed from two opposite sides of the physiological signal monitoring device 400, respectively.
[0253] For example, as shown in FIG. 4G, the projected wide side 421-2 of the third electrode piece 421 is included in the projected wide side 444-2 of the first conductive region 444 (the side of the projected region of the first conductive region 444 that is parallel to the width direction of the strap 410), and the projected wide side 422-2 of the fourth electrode piece 422 is included in the projected wide side 445-2 of the second conductive region 445 (the side of the projected region of the second conductive region 445 that is parallel to the width direction of the strap 410), so that the first conductive region 444 covers the third electrode piece 421 in the width direction of the strap 410, and the second conductive region 445 covers the fourth electrode piece 422 in the width direction of the strap 410.
[0254] In some embodiments of the present specification, by setting different conductive regions to cover the corresponding electrode pieces in the width direction of the strap, the different conductive regions can disperse the static electricity near the outer surface directly opposite the electrode pieces, thereby minimizing or eliminating the influence of the static electricity on the electrodes.

When a user (for example, the monitoring object 140) wears the physiological signal monitoring device 400, the ground electrode 450 can be in contact with the user's skin; the ground electrode 450 can be in conductive connection with the plurality of static electricity protection sheets 440 (not shown in the figure) to receive the outer surface static electricity charges received by the plurality of static electricity protection sheets 440 and introduce them into the human body to achieve static electricity shielding.
[0256] Similar to the waterproof layer 330, the waterproof layer 460 refers to a structure having waterproof and insulating functions in the physiological signal monitoring device 400. Both electrode members (the third electrode member 421 and the fourth electrode member 422) are connected to the strap 410 through the waterproof layer 430, that is, along the thickness direction of the strap 410, the waterproof layer 460 is located between the strap 410 and the electrode members. When the strap 410 is wetted by liquid (for example, sweat, water, etc.), the waterproof layer 460 can prevent the liquid from spreading to the electrode members, thereby achieving waterproofing of the electrodes.
[0257] In some embodiments, the waterproof layer 460 includes waterproof and insulating yarn (for example, acrylic yarn, spandex yarn, etc.), that is, the yarn used for weaving the waterproof layer 460 includes waterproof and insulating yarn, for example, the strap 410 can be woven from acrylic yarn.
[0258] In some embodiments, the waterproof layer and the strap are woven in a spliced manner, and the waterproof layer penetrates through the inner surface and the outer surface of the strap in the thickness direction of the strap.
