Oxygen generator using wireless communication

The present invention relates to an oxygen generator capable of wireless communication, and more particularly, to an oxygen generator capable of wireless communication that measures oxygen saturation in a subject's body and generates oxygen based on the oxygen saturation level of the subject.

In general, an oxygen generator is an electric device that removes contaminants and nitrogen in the air and supplies oxygen to a user by highly concentrating oxygen.

These oxygen generators were originally expensive medical devices, but environmental pollution, especially air pollution, is getting serious day by day. As more and more people are interested in health, it is used in various places such as offices, enclosed spaces, and students, and the demand for it is increasing.

Here, what is important is not only the oxygen concentration in the air as described above, but also the humidity of the oxygen composition. Depending on the degree, the humidity affects the occurrence of breathing disorders or diseases. It is desirable to maintain about 65%.

For this reason, conventionally, many oxygen generators having a humidifier tank have been developed in order to supply moisture to the air having a high oxygen concentration, but there is a cumbersome need to check the water stored in the humidifier tank one by one.

In addition, in the conventional oxygen generator, the user directly arbitrarily controls the on/off operation in an enclosed space, or the on/off operation is controlled by measuring the oxygen concentration in the space in which the oxygen generator is generated.

Since the oxygen generator operates by grasping only the oxygen concentration in the space, there is a problem in that the operation is stopped in a state in which the oxygen-deficient user in the space does not breathe enough oxygen.

1 is a conceptual diagram showing an oxygen generator capable of wireless communication according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the oxygen generator 1000 capable of wireless communication according to the present invention largely includes a body 100 and an oxygen saturation measurement unit 400 .

First, looking at the detailed configuration formed in the body 100 and the humidifier tank 300,

The humidification container 300 is made of a transparent or translucent material so that light can pass therethrough.

In addition, at the upper end of the humidifying tank 300 , an oxygen inlet nozzle 310 for allowing air containing high concentration of oxygen obtained through various devices in the body 100 to be introduced into the humidifying tank 300 and the humidifying tank An oxygen discharge nozzle 320 through which air containing high concentration of oxygen provided with a certain moisture is discharged through 300 is formed.

And on the front of the humidifying water tank 300, a thin protective plate 340 having the same size as the humidifying water tank 300 but relatively extending up and down is the upper end of the humidifying water tank 300 and the upper end of the protective plate 340. They are overlapped so that they fit together.

At this time, the lower end of the protective plate 340 has a shape that protrudes downward compared to the lower end of the humidifying water container 300, and the lower end of the protective plate 340 that protrudes in this way has a handle 360 that protrudes forward. is formed, and one or more fastening protrusions 380 protruding in the opposite direction to which the humidifying water container 300 is attached are formed at the ends thereof.

Next, the body 100 is formed with a humidifying water tank mounting portion 200, which is formed as a groove having a size corresponding to the protective plate 340 and a depth corresponding to the thickness of the humidifying water tank 300 .

An oxygen inlet 210 and an oxygen outlet 220 are formed at the upper end of the humidifying water tank mounting part 200 at positions and sizes corresponding to the oxygen inlet nozzle 310 and the oxygen outlet nozzle 320 at the upper end of the humidifying water tank 300 . do.

And at the lower end of the humidifying water tank mounting part 200, a fastener 280 suitable for the size and location of each fastening protrusion 380 formed at the lower end of the protective plate 340 is formed, and the humidifying water tank 300 is detachable as needed. make it possible

On the other hand, the water quantity sensing means is mounted on one side of the humidification container mounting unit 200 .

The quantity sensing means can recognize the quantity information by the weight sensed by the load cell 260 through the load cell 260 installed at the bottom of the humidifying water tank mounting unit 200, the rear of the humidifying water tank mounting unit 200 The LED level indicator 240 is mounted.

The LED level indicator 240 is set to correspond to a lighting lamp according to the received quantity information, and the quantity information is turned on by the control unit through a quantity detecting means such as a load cell or an infrared sensor 265 .

In addition, when the water quantity is the smallest, the alarm unit 120 sets to generate a short warning sound when the corresponding lamp is turned on, so that the user does not miss the water supply timing.

At this time, the oxygen generator 1000 capable of wireless communication of the present invention transfers the humidifying water tank 300 to the humidifying water tank mounting part 200 formed in the body 100, the oxygen inlet 210 and the oxygen outlet ( 220), the oxygen inlet nozzle 310 and the oxygen outlet nozzle 320 are mounted inside.

Next, when power is supplied to the humidifying oxygen generator capable of confirming the water level, oxygen is supplied into the humidifying water tank 300 through the oxygen inlet nozzle 310, and dry air containing high concentration of oxygen is supplied to the humidifying water tank 300. Passing through, the dry air receives a certain amount of moisture from the water stored in the humidification container 300 and becomes the composition air containing appropriate humidity.

The humidified composition air is discharged through the oxygen discharge nozzle 320. As the above process is repeated, the amount of water stored in the humidifying water tank 300 is gradually reduced, and whenever the reduced amount of water reaches a certain level, the LED By changing the color of the level indicator 240, it is possible to immediately grasp the level of the remaining quantity.

And in order to prevent the supply of dry air due to the user's negligence not seeing the LED level indicator 240, when the lowest LED level indicator 240 is turned on, the alarm unit 120 generates a short alarm sound to supply water. Make sure not to miss the time.

Next, the oxygen saturation measuring unit 400 is manufactured to have a size that is easy to carry, and an insertion hole 410 for accommodating the finger of the person to be measured is formed on one side, and is provided inside the insertion hole 410 for the person to be measured. A sensor member 420 for measuring the oxygen saturation information included in the body of the subject through the fingers of is formed.

Here, the insertion hole 410 forms an entrance so that the finger of the subject is inserted, the finger of the subject accommodated in the insertion hole 410 is in contact with the sensor member 420 , and oxygen saturation information is obtained by the sensor member 420 . will be detected

As described above, the sensor member 420 has a thimble-type shape in which an opening hole is formed on one side to correspond to the insertion hole 410 and the other side is blocked, or both ends open thimble-type shape in which both sides are open, such as the sensor member 420 Since an opening hole through which a finger can be inserted is formed in one side of the , the finger of the subject can easily come into contact with the sensor member 420 .

In this case, the sensor member 420 is configured to include a first sensor module 421 and a second sensor module 422 .

In detail, the first sensor module 421 includes a light source, and the second sensor module 422 includes a light sensor or a light detector, and the As an example of the light source, an infrared light generator may be used.

Here, the first sensor module 421 and the second sensor module 422 are installed in the hollow part of the insertion hole 410 , and preferably, the first sensor module 421 and the second sensor module 422 are connected to each other. installed oppositely.

Accordingly, the first sensor module 421, that is, srhkdfid, which is emitted from the light source and transmitted through a part of the human body or a finger, and then detected by the optical sensor of the second sensor module 422, expands and contracts the pulsatile arterial vessel. The oxygen saturation of the arterial blood is measured using a property that is influenced by the sensitive fraction between the unsaturated hemoglobin and the saturated hemoglobin, and the measured oxygen saturation value is displayed on the display unit 400 to be described later.

And the body constituting the oxygen saturation measurement unit 400 is made of a material having an elastic material, and as the finger of the person to be measured is accommodated in the insertion hole 410 , the oxygen saturation measurement unit 400 is elastically deformed, so that by the elastic force As it is tightened, it is fixed to the finger of the subject.

Accordingly, since the oxygen saturation measuring unit 400 can be elastically stretched, the oxygen saturation measuring unit 400 is deformed to fit the size of the finger even if the body conditions of each subject, that is, the size and thickness of the fingers are different. Therefore, it can be used universally by anyone of any age or gender.

To this end, the oxygen saturation measurement unit 400 may be formed of an elastic material such as a rubber material, where the vertical clearance distance of the insertion hole 410 is smaller than the thickness of the finger, and the left and right clearance width of the insertion hole 410 is smaller than the width of the finger. It may be formed in a wide flat shape, but is not limited thereto.

According to the insertion hole configured as described above, since there is an extra space in the width of the insertion hole 410 , when a finger is inserted through the insertion hole 410 , it is easily elastically deformed and accommodated with a small force.

Of course, the vertical gap distance of the insertion hole 410 is greater than the thickness of the finger, and the left and right gap width of the insertion hole 410 may be formed to be narrower than the width of the finger.

On the other hand, a separate display module (not shown) may be detachably connected to the oxygen saturation measuring unit 400 , and a magnet 430 having a magnetic force to attach the display module may be provided for this purpose.

In one embodiment, although it is illustrated that one magnet 430 is provided inside the insertion hole 410, a plurality of magnets may be provided. In addition, the display module is also provided with a magnet to be detachable.

Next, the control unit 500 includes a transmitting member (not shown) provided in the oxygen saturation measurement unit 400 and transmitting oxygen saturation information measured by the sensor member 420 , and a transmitting member provided in the body 100 . It is configured to include a receiving member (not shown) receiving the oxygen saturation information from the receiving member, and a control means for controlling the amount of oxygen discharged from the body 100 based on the oxygen saturation information received from the receiving member.

Here, when the sensor member measures oxygen saturation through the finger of the subject in an enclosed space or a space to which the subject belongs, the control means indicates that the oxygen saturation contained in the body of the subject is lower than the previously stored value. In this case, it is discharged from the body 100, and when it is higher than or equal to the pre-stored value, it is controlled so that oxygen is not discharged from the body 100.

In addition, the oxygen generator 1000 capable of wireless communication of the present invention uses the oxygen saturation information measured through the oxygen measurement unit 200 for measuring the oxygen saturation in the body of the subject to determine whether the subject needs oxygen. Accordingly, it is possible to provide an effect of rapidly generating oxygen in the space in which the subject resides.

Although embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the above and the accompanying drawings, those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can practice the present invention in other specific forms without changing its technical spirit or essential features. You can understand that there is Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
