Humidity detecting device

This creation relates to a detection device, and more particularly to a humidity detection device.

For the elderly or those who cannot take care of themselves, because of their inconvenience in their actions, all the behaviors in life must rely on the caregivers to take care of their diet and living in the toilet. However, the above-mentioned elderly people or people who cannot take care of themselves often have problems with urinary incontinence, which causes troubles for caregivers.

In order to solve the problem of urinary incontinence, the most direct method is to wear a diaper or a nursing pad. The diaper or nursing pad can absorb the excretion caused by urinary incontinence, but after a period of time, the diaper must be replaced by the caregiver.

Although wearing diapers can solve the problem of urinary incontinence, diapers can only absorb excretions, but they cannot tell the caregivers immediately when they are wet, and each patient's condition is not the same. Therefore, the caregiver must still check the caregivers frequently. In the case of a diaper or a nursing pad, and timely replacement of a new diaper or nursing pad to avoid the occurrence of skin lesions in patients with urinary incontinence due to wearing the diaper for too long.

However, if you want to avoid skin lesions, check the diapers frequently. Humidity can make the caregiver exhausted, causing unnecessary consumption of human resources. Moreover, if the diaper is changed due to the slight leakage of the excretion of the patient with urinary incontinence, the resource will be wasted because the diaper is replaced too frequently.

Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned conventional techniques, the problem of skin lesions or waste of human resources and resources due to the inability to change the diaper or the care mat in a timely manner has become a problem that is currently being solved.

In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention discloses a humidity detecting device for detecting the humidity of a diaper or a nursing pad, and accordingly issuing corresponding alarm information.

The humidity detecting device provided by the creation includes a flexible body and a detector. The surface of the flexible body is provided with a conductive material, and the conductive material generates a corresponding impedance value according to the humidity state of the object to be tested; the detector is used for detecting the conductive substance of the flexible body. The impedance value includes a conductive unit and an indicating unit, wherein the conductive unit is fixed to one end of the flexible body and contacts the conductive material for detecting the impedance value of the conductive material; the indicating unit is based on the conductive The impedance value detected by the unit generates corresponding alarm information.

The present invention provides a humidity detecting device including a flexible body, a detector, and a signal receiver. A conductive material is disposed on the surface of the flexible body, and the conductive material generates a corresponding impedance value according to a humidity state of the object to be tested; and the detector is configured to detect an impedance value generated by the conductive material of the flexible body, The detector includes a conductive unit fixed to one end of the flexible body and contacting the conductive material for detecting the conductive material The impedance value causes the detector to send a trigger signal according to the detection result; the signal receiver is configured to receive the trigger signal through the wireless network to correspondingly issue an alarm information.

As can be seen from the above, the humidity detecting device provided by the present invention can detect the humidity of the diaper or the nursing pad waiting for the measuring object to generate corresponding alarm information according to the detected humidity, and the caregiver only needs the humidity detecting device of the present creation. When you send out the alarm information, you can change the diaper or the nursing pad. You don't have to worry about checking the diaper or the nursing pad, which will cause manpower consumption. It will not cause the patient's skin to be damaged because the diaper or the nursing pad has not been replaced for a long time. For institutions such as nursing homes or hospitals, it can effectively reduce operating costs, reduce manpower use and unnecessary consumption of diapers.

Moreover, the humidity detecting device of the present invention does not limit the type of diaper to be applied, and any type of diaper or nursing pad can be used. Therefore, when changing the diaper or the nursing pad, the humidity detecting device of the present invention can be removed and applied to the new diaper or the nursing pad again, without arbitrarily discarding the diaper and the humidity detecting device, thereby avoiding unnecessary waste.
