Hereinafter, each configuration of the smart menstrual detection device using moisture detection of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2C.

The moisture detection cable 110 may be mounted to be inserted into the stick-type sanitary napkin 10. The stick-type sanitary napkin 10 has an apical end 11 which is first inserted into the body in a cylindrical shape and a distal end 12 that is opposite to the apical end 11. The stick-type sanitary napkin 10 may be inserted into the body from the apical end 11, and the distal end 12 may further include a strip for separating the stick-type sanitary napkin 10 from the body. In addition, the stick-type sanitary napkin 10 may be made of a cotton material capable of absorbing moisture-type secretions such as blood (hereinafter referred to as “blood”) or a material having good absorption of moisture-type secretions.

The moisture detection cable 110 may be made of a conductor, and may have a shape covered by the outer surface 13 of the stick-type sanitary napkin 10 capable of absorbing blood. In addition, the moisture sensing cable 110 has a sensing unit that is at least one non-connected (separated) section, and when blood comes into contact with the sensing unit, the sensing unit is in a connected state in which the sensing unit is electrically communicated with the blood. That is, when the sensing unit comes into contact with blood, the moisture sensing cable 110 forms a closed circuit.

The moisture detection cable 110 may be formed in plural for measuring the physiological amount. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a configuration consisting of three moisture detection cables 111, 112, and 113 as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C will be described as an example. Here, as the number of the plurality of moisture detection cables 110 increases, the number of steps for measuring the blood volume (or “secretion volume”) absorbed by the stick-type sanitary napkin 10 may be more, and the number of moisture detection cables in the present invention It is not limited to three.

The moisture sensing cable 110 includes a first moisture sensing cable 111, a second moisture sensing cable 112 and a third moisture sensing cable 113, and each moisture sensing cable 111, 112, 113 One end and the other end are electrically connected to the main body module unit 120. In addition, the first moisture sensing cable 111, the second moisture sensing cable 112, and the third moisture sensing cable 113 are conductor film-type cables, each of which is a first sensing unit 111a that is a non-connected (separated) section, It has a second sensing unit (112a) and a third sensing unit (113a). That is, the first moisture sensing cable 111, the second moisture sensing cable 112, and the third moisture sensing cable 113 are the first sensing unit 111a, the second sensing unit 112a, and the third sensing unit. Due to (113a), one end and the other end may be electrically separated.

When the first sensing unit 111a, the second sensing unit 112a, and the third sensing unit 113a are in contact with blood, the first moisture sensing cable 111, the second moisture sensing cable 112 and the The third moisture sensing cable 113 is connected between one end and the other end in a closed circuit state in which electrical communication is possible. That is, the first moisture sensing cable 111, the second moisture sensing cable 112, and the third moisture sensing cable 113 have a first sensing unit 111a, a second sensing unit 112a, and a third sensing unit ( When blood comes into contact with each of 113a), a connection state capable of transmitting an electrical signal to the main body module unit 120 is established. Through this, the first moisture sensing cable 111, the second moisture sensing cable 112, and the third moisture sensing cable 113 may operate as sensors for detecting blood. The electrical connection states of the first moisture sensing cable 111, the second moisture sensing cable 112, and the third moisture sensing cable 113 may be detected by the controller 121 of the main body module unit 120.

Whether blood is in contact with the (111a), the second sensing unit (112a) and the third sensing unit (113a) may be periodically detected through an electrical signal. In addition, the controller 121 may periodically transmit blood detection information absorbed in the stick-type sanitary napkin 10 through an electrical signal received from the moisture detection cable 110 to the communication device 130 through the communication unit 122. . At this time, the communication device 130 may store blood detection information absorbed in the received stick-type sanitary napkin 10.

In addition, when the first sensing unit 111a, the second sensing unit 112a, and the third sensing unit 113a all come into contact with blood, the control unit 121 notifies that the replacement of the stick-type sanitary napkin 10 is necessary. Information may be transmitted to the communication device 130 through the communication unit 122.

When discarding the used stick-type sanitary napkin 10, the main body module unit 120 may be separated from the stick-type sanitary napkin 10 and mounted on a new stick-type sanitary napkin 10 or a pad-type sanitary napkin to be reused. In this case, the main body module unit 120 is mounted on the new stick-type sanitary napkin 10 so as to be electrically connected to one end and the other end of the plurality of moisture detection cables 110 provided in the new stick-type sanitary napkin 10. Since the expensive body module unit 120 can be reused as described above, the cost of the sanitary napkin can be lowered compared to sanitary napkins in which the module and expensive sensor are built-in. In addition, when the stick-type sanitary napkin 10 is disposed, a plurality of moisture detection cables 110 mounted inside the stick-type sanitary napkin 10 may be disposed together.

The communication device 130 may receive and store blood detection information periodically absorbed by the stick-type sanitary napkin 10 from the communication unit 121 of the main body module unit 120 through wireless communication. In addition, since the communication device 130 can continuously check the user's menstrual cycle, menstrual blood volume, and secretion volume, etc., through periodic stored blood detection information, it is possible to check menstrual abnormalities and thus facilitate health management. I can. The communication device 130 may be any one of a smart phone, a PC, or various monitoring systems, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
