本發明的氣體供應系統600包含:一供氣設備6、一管路7及一配戴式供氣組件8。供氣設備6用以產生至少一氣體,氣體為氧氣或氫氣中的至少一種,亦即,供氣設備6可以是供應氧氣、氫氣或者兩者的混合氣體等。所述供氣設備6與現有常見的各式醫療用供氣設備(例如水電解製氫設備、水電解製氧設備等)相同,於此不再贅述。The
配戴式供氣組件8包含:一本體81、一掛耳結構82、一供氣臂83、一氣流感測器100及一處理模組84。本體81例如包含殼體等結構。掛耳結構82與本體81連接,掛耳結構82用以掛設於使用者的耳朵。供氣臂83與本體81連接,供氣臂83內具有一供氣通道831。在實務中,供氣臂83例如可以是中空結構,而供氣通道831是直接形成於供氣臂83中,或者,供氣臂83中可以是設置有管子,而供氣通道831是由該管子所構成。The wearable air supply assembly 8 includes: a
供氣臂83的兩端分別為一連接端832及一供氣端833,連接端832通過管路7與供氣設備6連接。供氣端833用以鄰近於使用者的鼻孔位置設置。供氣臂83於供氣端833具有兩個供氣孔834。供氣設備6所提供的氣體,則能通過管路7及供氣通道831,而由兩個供氣孔834排出。關於供氣孔834的設置位置、排列方式、尺寸及其數量,都不以圖中所示為限。The two ends of the
在實際應用中,供氣臂83例如可以是由可塑形的塑膠材料製成,而使用者可依據實際需求,彎曲供氣臂83,以使供氣端833靠近使用者的鼻孔設置。In actual application, the
氣流感測器100設置於供氣臂83,且氣流感測器100鄰近於供氣端833。氣流感測器100能感測使用者的鼻孔是否出氣,並據以產生相對應的一氣流方向訊號。The
處理模組84設置於本體81中,處理模組84電性連接氣流感測器100。在實際應用中,氣流感測器100可以是通過埋設於供氣臂83中的線路或電線,而與設置於本體81中的處理模組84電性連接。處理模組84例如包含有微處理器、電路板、電源開關按鈕等。在實際應用中,本體81例如可以是包含有電源開關等構件。The
電子氣閥85電性連接處理模組84。電子氣閥85設置於供氣臂83與供氣設備6相連通的氣體流動路徑上,舉例來說,電子氣閥85可以是設置於本體81中,且電子氣閥85位於供氣通道831與管路7之間。處理模組84能控制電子氣閥85開啟或關閉,以使供氣設備6通過管路7所提供的氣體,能進入或不能進入供氣通道831,藉此,讓供氣孔834對應排出或不排出氣體。在電子氣閥85可以調整通過的氣流的大小的實施例中,本體81例如還可以是包含有旋紐或是按鈕,以供使用者操作,而使用者即可通過操作旋紐或按鈕,以通過處理模組84,控制電子氣閥85,而調整由供氣孔834排出的氣流量。The
當處理模組84依據氣流方向訊號,判斷使用者的鼻孔正在出氣時,處理模組84將控制電子氣閥85,以使供氣端833不供氣。相對地,當處理模組84依據氣流方向訊號,判斷使用者的鼻孔正在吸氣時,處理模組84將控制電子氣閥85,以使供氣端833供氣。When the
依上所述,本發明的氣體供應系統600通過上述氣流感測器100、配戴式供氣組件8等設計,可以讓使用者得到相對較好的使用體驗。更具體來說,本發明的配戴式供氣組件8,通過掛耳結構82的設計,使用者可以單手、簡單、輕鬆地將其配戴於頭上,反觀,習知的供氣面罩(例如氧氣面罩),使用者基本上需要用雙手才可以配戴,且使用者長時間配戴氧氣面罩後,使用者臉上容易出現壓痕,為此,造成使用者的諸多不便。As described above, the
另外,本發明的配戴式供氣組件8通過氣流感測器100、處理模組84及電子氣閥85等設計,可以讓使用者在吐氣的過程中,不會被供給氣體,而讓使用者可以更好地呼吸。相反地,習知的供氣面罩,僅會持續地供給氧氣,無論使用者是否正在吐氣,為此,可能會造成使用者呼吸上的不順暢。In addition, the wearable air supply assembly 8 of the present invention can prevent the user from being supplied with air during the exhalation process through the design of the
另外,習知的供氣面罩是持續地供給氣體,因此,在使用者吐氣的過程中,供氣面罩所提供的大部分氣體將會浪費;換言之,以長期使用來說,習知的供氣面罩的供氣設備所提供的某一部分的氣體都會被浪費。相反地,本發明的氣體供應系統600,因為,會在使用者吐氣的時候暫停供給氣體,所以,以長期使用來說,本發明對比於習知的供氣面罩,可以有效地節省氣體產生的成本。In addition, the conventional air supply mask continuously supplies gas, so when the user exhales, most of the gas provided by the air supply mask will be wasted; in other words, in long-term use, a certain portion of the gas provided by the air supply device of the conventional air supply mask will be wasted. In contrast, the
需說明的是,在實際應用中,上述配戴式供氣組件8也可以是獨立地被製造或販售,且上述配戴式供氣組件8也可以通過管路與現有的各式供氣設備連接。也就是說,上述配戴式供氣組件8不侷限於必須與供氣設備6及管路7一同製造或販售。It should be noted that, in actual application, the wearable air supply assembly 8 can also be manufactured or sold independently, and the wearable air supply assembly 8 can also be connected to various existing air supply devices through pipelines. In other words, the wearable air supply assembly 8 is not limited to being manufactured or sold together with the
請一併參閱圖4及圖5,圖4為本發明的配戴式供氣組件的氣流感測器的第一實施例的示意圖,圖5為本發明的配戴式供氣組件的氣流感測器沿圖4的剖線V-V的剖面示意圖。氣流感測器100包含:一基板1、一加熱線路2、四個感測線路及一控制模組4。基板1例如可以是硬式電路板或是軟性電路板。在基板1為軟性電路板的實施例中,氣流感測器100可以是配合黏膠、雙面膠等,以作為貼附於設備、機械手臂等機構表面上的構件,藉此,可以監測設備、機械手臂等機構外的氣流流動情況。在其中一個實際應用中,基板1還可以是連接有一軟性排線,而控制模組4可以是通過軟性排線,將相關感測結果,以訊號的形式向外傳遞。Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 together. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the air flow sensor of the wearable air supply assembly of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional diagram of the air flow sensor of the wearable air supply assembly of the present invention along the section line V-V of FIG. 4. The
加熱線路2能被供電以構成一加熱電阻,並據以產生熱能。在實際應用中,加熱線路2例如可以是包含多個弧形區段31及多個轉彎區段32,各個弧形區段31的至少一端是與其中一個轉彎區段32連接,而加熱線路2的外圍可以大致呈現為圓形(或橢圓形)。關於加熱線路2的外型、尺寸、線徑等,皆可依據實際需求加以變化,圖中所示僅為其中一個示範態樣。The
在其中一個具體應用中,加熱線路2的任一位置的線寬都相同,藉此,加熱線路2通電產生熱能時,加熱線路2的任一位置的溫度將大致相同。通過使加熱線路2的任一位置的線寬都相同的設計,還可以讓氣流感測器100,在外部氣流未流動的情況下,各個感測線路因為加熱線路2所產生的熱能,而產生的電阻值變化量會大致相同。In one specific application, the line width of the
四個感測線路形成於基板1的一側面,各個感測線路能被供電構成一熱敏電阻。四個感測線路環繞加熱線路2設置,四個感測線路相連接,以構成一惠斯通電橋(Wheatstone Bridge)。Four sensing circuits are formed on one side of the substrate 1. Each sensing circuit can be powered to form a thermistor. The four sensing circuits are arranged around the
為利說明,位於圖4中的左上角、右上角、左下角及右下角的四個感測線路,依序定義為第一感測線路3A、第二感測線路3B、第三感測線路3C及第四感測線路3D。第一感測線路3A及第二感測線路3B是左右對稱地設置,第三感測線路3C與第四感測線路3D也是左右對稱地設置,第一感測線路3A與第三感測線路3C則是上下對稱地設置,第二感測線路3B與第四感測線路3D則是上下對稱地設置。For the sake of explanation, the four sensing circuits located at the upper left corner, the upper right corner, the lower left corner and the lower right corner in FIG. 4 are defined as the
各個感測線路的線寬,由靠近加熱線路2的一端,向遠離加熱線路2的一端逐漸增加。在其中一個具體應用中,各個感測線路的最小線寬D1,是各個感測線路的最大線寬D2至少百分之五由於感測線路整體外型,大致是由靠近加熱線路2向外延伸形成,因此,在氣流感測器100所處環境未有氣流流動的情況下,感測線路靠近加熱線路2的區段受到加熱線路2的熱能的影響,將明顯大於感測線路遠離加熱線路2的區段,為此,將使得感測線路最靠近加熱線路2的區段,與感測線路最遠離加熱線路2的區段,兩者具有相對較大的溫差。在感測線路最靠近加熱線路2的區段,與感測線路最遠離加熱線路2的區段,兩者具有相對較大的溫差的情況下,當氣流感測器100的外部氣流微幅流動時,感測線路的整體溫度將相對不容易發生變化,而氣流感測器100的電阻值變化將不靈敏。The line width of each sensing line gradually increases from the end close to the
相對地,本發明的氣流感測器100的各個感測線路的線寬,是由靠近加熱線路2的一端,向遠離加熱線路2的一端逐漸增加,因此,本發明的氣流感測器100,在氣流感測器100所處環境未有氣流流動的情況下,各個感測線路最靠近加熱線路2的區段,與最遠離加熱線路2的區段,兩者的溫差不會太大,藉此,當氣流感測器100的外部氣流微幅流動時,感測線路的整體溫度將會相對快速地變化,而氣流感測器100的電阻值,將會對應靈敏地變化。也就是說,本發明的氣流感測器100通過使感測線路的線寬的變化等設計,可以有效地提升氣流感測器100的感測靈敏度。In contrast, the line width of each sensing circuit of the
在實際應用中,各個感測線路例如可以是包含多個弧形區段31及多個轉彎區段32,各個弧形區段31的至少一端是與其中一個轉彎區段32連接。各個感測線路越靠近加熱線路2的弧形區段31的長度越小,而各個感測線路越遠離加熱線路2的弧形區段31的長度越長。在實際應用中,關於各個感測線路的弧形區段31的弧度及尺寸,都可以依據實際需求加以變化,圖中所示僅為其中一個示範態樣。通過上述各個感測線路的弧形區段31的長度變化等設計,也可以進一步提升氣流感測器100的感測靈敏度。In practical applications, each sensing circuit may include, for example, a plurality of
在其中一個較佳的具體應用中,各個感測線路的材料可以是金箔,如此,可以讓感測線路的電阻值變化更靈敏。In one preferred specific application, the material of each sensing line can be gold foil, so that the resistance value change of the sensing line can be more sensitive.
控制模組4電性連接加熱線路2及四個感測線路,而控制模組4能依據各個感測線路的電阻值變化,以輸出一氣流方向訊號。在實際應用中,控制模組4中例如可以是包含有微處理器、訊號轉換電路、通訊晶片等,而微處理器依據四個感測線路的電阻值變化,而產生相對應的氣流方向訊號後,微處理器例如可以是通過通訊晶片,將氣流方向訊號向外傳遞。當然,在不同的實施例中,微處理器也可以是通過與基板1連接的相關排線、電線等構件,將氣流方向訊號向外傳遞。關於控制模組4所包含的構件及其依據惠斯通電橋,將電阻值變化轉換為類比訊號的技術,皆屬於習知技術,於此不再贅述。The
控制模組4能通過量測四個感測線路的電阻值變化,據以判斷出氣流的流動方向,而且通過四個感測線路的設計,可以讓氣流感測器能夠偵測各種方向的氣流流動。更詳細來說,當氣流感測器100的外部氣流未流動時,控制模組4將會量測出,四個感測線路具有大致相同的電阻值,當氣流感測器100的外部氣流開始流動時,加熱線路2所產生的熱能,將會隨氣流向其中至少一個感測線路的方向流動,如此,將導致該感測線路的整體溫度上升,而該感測線路的電阻值將會對應變化,藉此,控制模組4即可知道氣流是向該感測線路的方向流動。The
如圖5所示,在實際應用中,氣流感測器100還可以包含一絕緣保護層5。絕緣保護層5設置於基板1形成有感測線路及加熱線路2的一側,且絕緣保護層5覆蓋感測線路及加熱線路2。絕緣保護層5用以保護感測線路及加熱線路2,以大幅降低感測線路或加熱線路2,受到外力作用而發生剝離基板1的問題,藉此,可以進一步提升氣流感測器100的使用壽命。較佳地,絕緣保護層5的厚度不大於0.0008公釐,藉此,可以避免絕緣保護層5,阻擋了氣流帶動熱能傳遞。在實際應用中,絕緣保護層5例如可以是PI 9320材料。As shown in FIG5 , in actual application, the
請參閱圖6,其為本發明的配戴式供氣組件的氣流感測器的第二實施例的示意圖。本實施例與前述實施例的其中一個不同之處在於:各個感測線路是包含多個直線區段33,各個感測線路越靠近加熱線路2的直線區段33的長度越小,而各個感測線路越遠離加熱線路2的直線區段33的長度越長。其中,各個感測線路越靠近加熱線路2的直線區段33的線寬越小,而越遠離加熱線路2的直線區段33的線寬越大。在其中一個具體應用中,各個感測線路的最小線寬D3,是各個感測線路的最大線寬D4至少百分之五。Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the air flow sensor of the wearable air supply assembly of the present invention. One of the differences between this embodiment and the aforementioned embodiment is that each sensing line includes a plurality of
本實施例與前述實施例的另一個不同之處在於:加熱線路2包含一加熱區段21及兩個連接區段22,加熱區段21的兩端連接兩個連接區段22,其中一個連接區段22位於其中第一感測線路3A及第三感測線路3C之間,另一個連接區段22位於第二感測線路3B及第四感測線路3D之間,且加熱線路2的於加熱區段21的任一位置的線寬D5,與各個連接區段22的任一位置的線寬D6不相同。在其中一個具體應用中,加熱區段21的任一位置的線寬D5,小於各個連接區段22的任一位置的線寬D6。Another difference between this embodiment and the aforementioned embodiment is that the
依上所述,通過使加熱區段21的任一位置的線寬D5,與各連接區段22的任一位置的線寬D6不同的設計,可以大幅地降低加熱線路2產生熱能時,連接區段22產生的熱能帶給鄰近的感測線路的影響。As described above, by making the line width D5 at any position of the
更進一步來說,由於第一感測線路3A與第二感測線路3B之間及第三感測線路3C與第四感測線路3D之間,都沒有設置連接區段22,因此,通過使連接區段22的線寬,大於加熱區段21的線寬的設計,可以大幅地降低連接區段22的溫度,對於其周圍的感測線路的溫度的影響,從而可以進一步地提升感測線路的感測靈敏度。Furthermore, since there is no
