In addition, the technical solutions of each embodiment can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of the ordinary skilled in the art, when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, and is not within the protection scope required by the present application.

[0035] The existing battery module is transported by a single roller line, and the logistics forklift can only transport one tray containing the battery module to the input port of the conveying line at a time, so the logistics forklift needs to supplement the battery module in time, and therefore the number of stored battery modules is small, the module consumption speed is fast, the battery module supply speed is insufficient due to the transportation of a single tray each time, and the production efficiency is reduced. At the same time, the forklift operator needs to place the tray to the input port or take it away from the output port, and the forklift operator has a large amount of work.

[0036] To solve the above problems, the present application provides an intelligent ring 100.

[0037] Please combine FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in an embodiment of the present application, the intelligent ring 100 includes a ring body 1 and a detection assembly 2, a through hole 15 for passing a finger is formed in the ring body 1, the ring body 1 includes an outer ring 11 and an inner ring 12, the outer ring 11 is sleeved outside the inner ring 12 and surrounds the inner ring 12 to form a mounting space, the mounting space is provided with a circuit board 13 and a battery 14 for supplying power to the circuit board 13; the detection assembly 2 includes a VPU acquisition module 21, a PPG acquisition module 22, an ECG acquisition module 23 and an optical module 24 mounted on the circuit board 13 and in conduction with the circuit board 13, the optical module 24 is arranged towards the inner ring 12, and the optical module 24 is used to emit light to the finger passing through the through hole 15 and receive the light reflected from the finger to generate an optical signal, the PPG acquisition module 22 is used to generate a photoelectric volume graph according to the optical signal, the ECG acquisition module 23 is used to acquire the potential signal of the finger and generate an electrocardiogram, and the VPU acquisition module 21 is used to acquire a heart sound signal.

[0038] It should be noted that the VPU (heart sound signal acquisition) module, the PPG (photoelectric plethysmography) acquisition module and the ECG (electrocardiogram) acquisition module are all common modules for collecting heart sound data in the prior art, and their principles of action can be found in the prior art. In addition, the outer ring 11 is usually made of rigid material to provide support for the overall shape of the ring, and the inner ring 12 is usually made of flexible material so that the inner ring 12 can deform and be close to the user's finger when the ring is worn, thereby improving the user's experience comfort. Specifically, the flexible material can be selected from soft glue materials such as silicone, TPU, TPE, or soft glue materials.

[0039] The technical scheme of the present application comprises the following steps: the VPU acquisition module 21, the PPG acquisition module 22, the ECG acquisition module 23 and the optical module 24 are all connected to the circuit board 13, and then the above modules are covered and shielded by the inner ring 12, so that the user does not feel uncomfortable when wearing the smart ring 100, thereby improving the wearing comfort. Through the cooperation between the PPG acquisition module 22 and the optical module 24, the photoelectric plethysmogram is detected and generated, and the electrocardiogram is generated by the ECG acquisition module 23, thereby real-time monitoring the user. When the heart sound signal is needed, the ring is attached to the user's chest, thereby collecting the heart sound signal by the VPU acquisition module 21. The present application integrates multiple heart sound detection modules in the smart ring 100, and the smart ring 100 has a small size and high wearing comfort, and is easy to carry for a long time, thereby facilitating long-term collection of heart sound data of the user under various conditions for analysis, and improving the accuracy of the analysis of the user's heart sound data.

[0040] Further, after the circuit board 13 is installed to the outer ring 11, the excess cavity area between the outer ring 11 and the circuit board 13 is filled by the glue filling process to fix the circuit board 13 and the outer ring 11, and the glue after solidification can also protect the circuit board 13 and the multiple modules arranged thereon, thereby improving the safety and stability.

[0041] Please combine Figure 4 and Figure 5, in an embodiment, the inner wall of the inner ring 12 corresponds to the positions of the VPU acquisition module 21, the PPG acquisition module 22, the ECG acquisition module 23 and the optical module 24. The elastic boss 121 is provided, the elastic boss 121 is provided outwardly, the side of the elastic boss 121 outwardly forms a cavity, and the plurality of elastic bosses 121 are transparent materials, the VPU acquisition module 21, the PPG acquisition module 22, the ECG acquisition module 23 and the optical module 24 are respectively arranged in the cavities of the corresponding elastic bosses 121, and the elastic boss 121 is used for deforming outwardly when being pressed by the finger. Through the cavity of the elastic boss 121, the VPU acquisition module 21, the PPG acquisition module 22, the ECG acquisition module 23 and the optical module 24 are closer to the finger of the user inserted into the through hole 15, thereby improving the accuracy of data detection. At the same time, since the elastic boss 121 is an elastic material, after the user's finger is inserted into the through hole 15, the elastic boss 121 is pressed to deform, and the user's finger is not affected, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the user.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the material hardness of the inner ring 12 is 30-70 (Shore hardness), so that the inner ring 12 can produce appropriate deformation to match the finger profile of different users, improve the wearing comfort, the material of the elastic boss 121 is TPU, TPE, silicone, rubber and fluorine glue, etc., the hardness is 30-45 (Shore hardness), the hardness of the material of the elastic boss 121 is less than that of other areas of the inner ring 12, so as to reduce the discomfort of wearing.

[0043] Further, the VPU acquisition module 21, the PPG acquisition module 22 and the ECG acquisition module 23 are distributed along the circumference of the inner ring 12, and the VPU acquisition module 21 is located between the PPG acquisition module 22 and the ECG acquisition module 23. When the finger passes through the through hole, the battery 14 and the VPU acquisition module 21 are respectively arranged corresponding to the back of the finger and the finger pulp. The battery 14 is arranged at the position close to the center of the back of the finger, the VPU acquisition module 21 is arranged corresponding to the finger pulp, and the PPG acquisition module 22 and the ECG acquisition module 23 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the VPU acquisition module 21, so that the weight of the whole ring is uniformly distributed, and the center of gravity is kept at the center position of the intelligent ring 100, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the user.

[0044] Please refer to FIG. 9, in an embodiment, the optical module 24 comprises a photodiode 241 and a light-emitting module, the light-emitting module comprises a plurality of light-emitting units 242, the plurality of light-emitting units 242 have different spectra and wavelengths, and the plurality of light-emitting units 242 are arranged on the circuit board 13 along the circumference of the inner ring 12 and used for emitting light to the finger, and the photodiode 241 is used for receiving the light reflected from the finger to generate an optical signal. By arranging the light-emitting units 242 with different spectra and wavelengths, the detection of different heart sound data is realized. Specifically, when the PPG is measured, the heart rate measurement usually uses a green light LED (wavelength about 520nm-540nm), and the blood oxygen saturation usually uses a combination of a red light LED (typical wavelength 660nm) and an infrared light LED (typical wavelength 940nm) for measurement, so as to realize the simultaneous detection of multiple data. Then, the light reflected from the blood vessels of the finger is received by the photodiode 241, and an optical signal is generated, which is convenient for subsequent analysis of specific heart sound data according to the optical signal.

[0045] In an embodiment, the outer periphery of each photodiode 241 is provided with a barrier wall 243, and the barrier wall 243 is formed with an opening 244 for the light to pass through towards one side of the through hole 15. By shielding the circumference of the photodiode 241 with the barrier wall 243, the light of the light-emitting unit 242 or the ambient light is prevented from affecting the accuracy of the optical signal, and only the opening 244 towards the center of the through hole 15 is left, so that only the light reflected from the blood vessels can be collected by the photodiode 241, thereby maximizing the detection accuracy.

[0046] In an embodiment, the outer ring 11, the inner ring 12 and the circuit board 13 are concentrically arranged as circular rings, the light-emitting unit 242 comprises a green light LED and a red light LED, the green light LED and the photodiode 241 form a central angle of 25°-45°, and the red light LED and the photodiode 241 form a central angle of 35°-65°. The central angle between the green light LED and the photodiode 241 is smaller, because the green light is mainly used for detecting the blood flow changes of the shallow tissues to realize heart rate monitoring, such as the microvessels under the skin and the epidermis, and the smaller included angle can ensure that the detected reflected light mainly comes from these shallow tissues. The red light and the infrared light have high tissue penetration, and can penetrate the skin and deeper tissues such as muscle layers to detect the blood flow changes of deeper blood vessels. The larger included angle is helpful to capture the light reflected or transmitted from these deep tissues, so as to obtain the blood oxygen saturation through the blood flow changes of the blood vessels in the deep tissues.

[0047] In an embodiment, the number of photodiodes 241 is two, and the two photodiodes 241 are arranged along the circumference of the inner ring 12, and the light-emitting module is located between the two photodiodes 241;

[0048] In another embodiment, the number of photodiodes 241 is one, the light-emitting module is located on one side of the circuit board 13, the connection line between the finger pulp and the finger back when the finger passes through the through hole is the axis of symmetry, and the photodiode 241 and the light-emitting module are symmetrically arranged based on the axis of symmetry.

[0049] In yet another embodiment, the number of photodiodes 241 is one, and the photodiode 241 is located between any two adjacent light-emitting units 242 in the light-emitting module.

[0050] The number and position relationship between the photodiode 241 and the light-emitting module can be adjusted according to actual needs, but it is necessary to ensure that the whole is symmetrically arranged with the connection line between the finger pulp and the finger back as the axis of symmetry to ensure the position of the center of gravity.

[0051] In an embodiment, the cross-sectional size of the boss is tapered from outside to inside, and the protrusion height of the boss is greater than or equal to 1 mm. The cross-sectional size of the cavity is tapered towards the user's finger, so that the contact area between the boss and the user's finger is small, the user's finger feels less foreign body sensation, and the user's wearing comfort is improved. Specifically, the cross-sectional size of the boss can be circular or trapezoidal, and the cross-sectional size is tapered towards the user's finger while leaving a larger space for accommodating the light-emitting unit, and the design of the protrusion facilitates deformation away from the side of the finger after being pressed, reducing the foreign body sensation.

[0052] Please refer to FIGS. 3 and 7, in an embodiment, the outer ring 11 corresponds to the position of the VPU acquisition module 21 and is outwardly convex to form a convex portion 111, so that the side of the convex portion 111 facing inward forms a containing cavity 112, and the VPU acquisition module 21 is packaged in the containing cavity 112 and abuts against the outer ring 11. Through the setting of the convex portion 111, the distance between the VPU acquisition module 21 and the chest when close to the user's chest is closer, only one layer of shell spacing, improving the detection accuracy of the VPU acquisition module 21.

[0053] Further, the width of the protruding portion along the circumference of the ring is 10-20 mm, which is less than the width of a user's finger, to improve the wearing comfort.

[0054] Please combine Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 6, in another embodiment, the outer side of the outer ring 11 is provided with a hard contact 113 which protrudes outwardly from the outer ring 11, so that the inward side of the hard contact 113 forms a mounting cavity for accommodating the VPU acquisition module 21, and a rigid support 114 is arranged inside the outer ring 11, and an elastic element 115 is mounted on the rigid support 114, and the contact shell is used to push the VPU acquisition module 21 and drive the elastic element 115 to compress when subjected to pressure. The mounting cavity formed by the hard contact 113 allows the VPU acquisition module 21 to be exposed on the surface of the outer ring 11, so that the distance between the VPU acquisition module 21 and the chest is closer when it is close to the user's chest, only one layer of shell spacing, which improves the detection accuracy of the VPU acquisition module 21, and the setting of the elastic element 115 allows the elastic element 115 to compress after the hard contact 113 contacts the user's chest, which drives the hard contact 113 to move inwardly, leaving a movement allowance to avoid damage under pressure, or in daily life, when the user's hand is placed on the desktop, the hard contact 113 moves inwardly, reducing the user's foreign body sensation.

[0055] The material of the rigid support 114 is stainless steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, etc., which is used to support and fix the elastic element 115, and the material of the elastic element 115 is TPU, TPE, silicone, rubber and fluorine glue, etc., with a hardness of 30-65 (Shore hardness), so that the elastic element 115 compresses inwardly after being pressed to provide a movement space for the hard contact 113, and the material of the hard contact 113 is a rigid material such as titanium alloy, magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy, or a silicone material with a hardness of 50-70 (Shore hardness), and after the VPU acquisition module 21 is installed in the mounting cavity of the hard contact 113, the cavity is filled with glue through a glue filling process, so that the glue solidifies to fix and protect the VPU acquisition module 21.

[0056] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
