Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail.

1 and 2, the olfactory perception test system according to the present invention includes a housing 100, an olfactory sample 200, an olfactory sample separation detector 300, an olfactory sample insertion detector 400, and a controller 500. , Memory unit 600, communication unit 700, printer 800, and computer 900.

The housing 100 has the polyhedral grooves 111 forming the olfactory sample storage unit 110 at one side of the upper surface, and the other polyhedral grooves 121 in which the letters or pictures corresponding to the smells are displayed. The olfactory sample insertion unit 120 is formed on the other side of the upper surface spaced apart from the olfactory sample storage unit 110 at a predetermined interval, and an indicator 130 displaying an olfactory cognitive test result is the olfactory sample storage unit 110 and the olfactory sample. It is formed between the insertion part 120.

At least one of the olfactory samples 200 is used, and the user smells in his hand, and the

polyhedral grooves

111 and 121 of the olfactory sample storage unit 110 or the olfactory sample insertion unit 120 of the housing 100. There is a cartridge insertion hole 213 is inserted between the top and bottom of the polyhedral peg-shaped body inserted into the rod olfactory cartridge 212 containing the fragrance material 211 is seated A body identification means 214 is included in the body to identify whether the body is separated from the olfactory sample storage 110 or the body is inserted into the olfactory sample insert 120.

The olfactory sample 200 may be made of plastic, glass, silicon, wood, polymer composite material, metal composite material, or the like.

The fragrance material 211 is a solid, a capsule containing a solid powder, a natural and artificial flavor of the liquid.

The olfactory cartridge 212 may be made of plastic, glass, wood, silicon, paper, polymer composite material, metal composite material, or the like, and discharge the fragrance of the fragrance material 211 through holes 212a formed at both ends. Can be.

An RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) transmitter, a magnet, a light emitting sensor, etc. may be used as the body identification means 214 for identifying whether the olfactory sample 200 is separated from the olfactory sample storage unit 110.

The olfactory sample separation detector 300 is embedded in the housing 100, and detects which polyhedral groove 111 of the olfactory sample storage unit 110 is separated from the at least one olfactory sample 200.

The olfactory sample separation detector 300 may be made of an RFID receiver, a Hall sensor detecting a magnetic field, a light receiving sensor, or the like. For example, a signal of the RFID transmitter may not be received or a magnetic field of the magnet may not be detected. When the light of the light emitting sensor is not detected, the olfactory sample 200 is detected to be separated from the polyhedral groove 111 of the olfactory sample storage unit 110.

The olfactory sample insertion sensor 400 is embedded in the housing 100, and detects which polyhedral groove 121 of the olfactory sample insert 120 is inserted into the at least one olfactory sample 200.

The olfactory sample insertion detector 400 is any one of an RFID receiver, a Hall sensor for detecting a magnetic field, and a light receiving sensor, and a signal of the RFID transmitter is received, a magnetic field of the magnet is detected, or the light emitting sensor. When the light is detected, the olfactory sample 200 is detected to be inserted into the polyhedral groove of the olfactory sample insertion unit 120.

The control unit 500 is embedded in the housing 100, and the olfactory sample 200 that detects that the olfactory sample separation detector 300 is separated is selected from among the polyhedral grooves 121 of the olfactory sample insertion unit 120. According to the detection result of the olfactory sample insertion detector 400 which detects whether the letter or the picture corresponding to the smell of the olfactory sample 200 is inserted into the polyhedral groove 121 is automatically detected results The determination is made on the display 130 of the housing 100.

The indicator 130 displays at least one or more of letters, numbers, or pictures of the total time taken for the olfactory cognitive ability test, the time for recognizing each smell, the recognition rate, and the name of the unrecognized smell.

The memory unit 600 is embedded in the housing 100 or detachable from the housing 100, and automatically stores the olfactory cognitive ability test result determined by the control unit 500.

The communication unit 700 transmits the olfactory perception ability test result determined by the control unit 500 to the printer 800 or the computer 900 by wire or wirelessly.

The communication unit 700 is connected to the computer 900 and transmits the user's sense of smell recognition ability remotely to a hospital or rehabilitation center through an information communication network such as the Internet, a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), etc. To be diagnosed by a specialist.
