Description

Smart mask {A SMART MASK}

The present invention relates to a smart mask, and more particularly, to a smart mask capable of preventing harmful substances contained in outside air from being sucked into a wearer's body and effectively discharging the wearer's expiration to the outside.

In general, when a cold is caught, the mask is worn for the purpose of preventing the cold wind and preventing the virus from spreading to other people. In addition, in an environment where air pollution such as dust and fine dust is severe, not only the elderly but also healthy adults wear the mask.

Such a mask is often used in the form of an earlobe connected to a cloth covering a mouth and a nose, but in recent years, dust has become finer and a conventional dust mask made of a cloth can not filter fine dust.

At this time, the mask main body 110 includes a plurality of vent holes 111 formed at predetermined intervals, and a plurality of vent holes 111 provided in the vent holes 111 to open the vent holes 111 by the wearer's exhalation And includes a plurality of ventilation films (113).

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the mask body 110 is mounted on the wearer's face F so as to cover the nose and mouth of the wearer so that contact between the wearer's respiratory air and outside air is blocked. The mask body 110 may include a mask body 110 and a face F in consideration of the overall shape of the face F, the shape of the nose, the shape of the face F, And a structure and a shape that can provide an excellent fit feeling so as not to occur.

A connection hose 130 is connected to one side of the mask body 110 and air supplied through the connection hose 130 is supplied into the interior of the mask body 110. Although not shown in the drawing, a structure such as a connection hole (not shown) for connecting the connection hose unit 130 may be formed on one side of the mask body unit 110.

A plurality of vent holes 111 are formed in the mask main body 110, and air can flow in and out through the vent holes 111. The size, shape, number, position, and the like of the ventilation hole 111 can be appropriately varied depending on the size, shape, and the like of the smart mask 100. As shown in the drawing, the mask main body 110 is provided with earrings such as a string, a rubber band, etc. so that the mask body 110 can be worn on the face F of the wearer.

In addition, a ventilation film 113 is positioned in each ventilation hole 111, and the ventilation film 113 opens each ventilation hole 111 by the wearer's exhalation. In addition, it is closed when the wearer is not in the state of expiration, for example, in the case of the wearer's inhalation or the wearer's short-term breathing. That is, the ventilation film 113 allows the ventilation hole 111 to be opened by the wearer's exhalation, and the ventilation hole 111 is closed by the wearer's inhalation. Such a ventilation film 113 can be formed by various structures that are opened by exhalation and can be closed by inhalation. For example, as shown in Fig. 2, the ventilation film 113 is composed of a fixing member 113a and an opening and closing member 113b. When there is an exhalation of the wearer of the smart mask 100, The vent hole 111 is opened, and when the vent is released, the vent hole 111 can be closed by moving to the original state.

At this time, it is preferable that a locking protrusion is formed on the fixing member 113a or a size of the opening and closing member 113b is formed larger than a hole formed in the center of the fixing member 113a so that the opening and closing member 113b does not enter the inside . It is preferable that the opening and closing member 113b can be made of a material having an elastic force and has a restoring force to be restored to its original state. For example, the opening and closing member 113b may be formed in the shape of a cap made of a silicon material.

Although not shown in the drawing, the vent 113 may be constituted by a valve controlled by a control signal. For example, the vent 113 may be a valve that is opened and closed by a signal sensed by the sensing module 115 of the mask body 110. Specifically, when the wearer's exhalation is sensed by the sensing module 115, if the valve opens the vent hole 111 and the inspiration of the wearer is sensed by the sensing module 115, the valve may close the vent hole 111 .

The mask body 110 may include a sensing module 115 that senses and transmits breathing or breathing of the wearer. The operation of the outside air supply unit 120 may be controlled according to information sensed and transmitted by the sensing module 115. [ This will be described in detail later.

The outside air supply unit 120 filters the outside air and provides the inside air to the inside of the mask body unit 110 through the connection hose unit 130. The outside air supply unit 120 includes an outside air fan 122 for introducing outside air, an air filter 124 for filtering outside air flowing through the outside air fan 122, The fan motor 126 and the sensing module 115 of the mask main body 110 are controlled based on sensing information transmitted from the fan motor 126 and the sensing module 115 of the mask main body 110, And a communication module 121 for receiving information transmitted from the sensing module 115 of the mask body unit 110. [ The outside air supply unit 120 includes an input module (not shown) for operating the outside air supply unit 120, an output module (not shown) for guiding the wearer's operation of the outside air supply unit 120 A storage module (not shown) for storing data to be transmitted and received, various information, and the like, and a power supply module (not shown) for supplying power to various modules.

When the outside air fan 122 is operated by the operation of the fan motor 126, the outside air is introduced through the outside air fan 122, and the introduced outside air is variously harmful substances such as fine dust, Filtered. The filtered outside air is supplied to the inner space of the mask body part 110 through the connection hose part 130. The filtered external air is supplied and the vent 113 is opened by the exhalation of the wearer of the smart mask 100 and the vent 113 is closed by the inhalation. By closing the ventilation film 113 at the time of inhalation of the wearer, the filtered air is appropriately provided to the wearer, and the breath of the wearer is discharged through the ventilation hole 111, so that a smooth breathing is achieved.

The outside air supply unit 120 can be manufactured to be wearable on the wearer's arm or the like. For example, the outside air supply unit 120 includes a housing in which an outside air fan 122, an air filter 124, a fan motor 126, a control module 128 and the like are housed, A wear band or the like. At this time, a connection structure for connecting the connection hose unit 130 may be formed at one side of the housing. For example, a connector (not shown) or the like may be formed on one side of the housing.

The outdoor fan 122 is operatively connected to the operation of the fan motor 126. When the fan motor 126 is turned off, the outdoor fan 122 is also turned off and one side of the outdoor fan 122 is closed .

The air filter 124 may be made of a nanofiber or the like formed by an electrospinning device or the like in order to filter nanoscale particles. These nanofibers can be randomly arranged by electrospinning or arranged side by side. In addition, the nanofibers may be arranged in layers with irregularly arranged nanofibers and regularly arranged nanofibers.

In one example, the nanofibers of the air filter 124 may have a size of 50 to 500 nm. The smaller the diameter of the nanofiber, the smaller the pore size, the smaller the pore size distribution, and the greater the specific surface area of the nanofiber increases the efficiency of filtering ultrafine particles. In addition, the nanofibers of the air filter 124 may have a predetermined thickness for efficient filtration. For example, the thickness of the nanofiber may be about 0.001 to 1 mm, but it is not limited thereto. In addition, the nanofibers of the air filter 124 may have a suitable pore size to filter fine dust. For example, the size of the pores of the nanofibers may be 2 탆 or less, but is not limited thereto.

The fan motor 126 provides a driving force to operate the outside air fan 122, and this fan motor 126 is controlled by the control module 128. The driving force of the fan motor 126 is controlled by the control module 128 so that the flow rate of the outside air flowing through the outside air fan 122 can be adjusted.

The control module 128 controls the fan motor 126 so that the flow rate of the outside air flowing through the outside air fan 122 is adjusted based on the sensing information transmitted from the sensing module 115. For example, the control module 128 can stop the operation of the fan motor 126 so that when the wearer's exhalation is sensed by the sensing module 115, the exhalation can be released through the ventilation hole 111, When the wearer's breath is sensed by the sensing module 115, the operation of the fan motor 126 can be started so that the wearer can breathe the filtered outside air. The driving force of the fan motor 126 can be controlled by the control module 128 and the rotational speed of the outside air fan 122 can be adjusted in accordance with the driving force of the fan motor 126, The flow rate of the outside air can be adjusted.

Here, the control module 128 receives the sensing information from the sensing module 115 through the communication module 121. The communication module 121 preferably performs short-range wireless communication with the sensing module 115. For example, the communication module 121 can communicate with the sensing module 115 in one of Bluetooth, Zigbee, Near Field Communication (NFC), and Wibree. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communication standard that controls various electronic and information communication devices wirelessly within a radius of 10 ~ 100m, uses 2.45Ghz frequency, uses a frequency of 2.4Ghz, Controls the connection of various devices wirelessly at a communication speed of 1 Mbps.

At this time, the circulation hose 220 may be entirely tapered and only a part 220A of the circulation hose 220 located inside the mask body 110 may be tapered. As the circulating hose 220 is tapered, the velocity of the air flowing through the circulating flow path of the circulating hose 220 gradually increases. As the air velocity increases, the pressure inside the circulating hose 220 gradually decreases. The pressure of the portion of the circulating hose 220 through which the air filtered by the mask body 210 flows is the highest and the pressure of the portion of the circulating hose 220 through which the air escapes from the mask body 210 The lowest. The air flows from the circulating hose 220 to the mask main body 210 through the vent hole 211 and flows into the air supply part 220 through the vent hole 220. In the case of the circulating hose part 220, The air flows from the mask main body 210 to the circulating hose 210 through the vent hole 211 in the case of the portion of the circulating hose 220 through which the air flows into the main body 210. [ 7, the filtered air can be supplied to the inside of the mask body 210 at the front end portion, and the breath air of the wearer can be introduced into the circulation hose portion 220 at the rear end portion .
