Entering the perception era, smart sensors, as the main way and means of obtaining information, are an important hardware foundation for the Internet of Everything. The "Perception Pilot Award" hosted by the China Sensor and Internet of Things Industry Alliance has collected excellent cases in different fields in the process of finding "hidden champions" in the field of smart sensors. This article will share them from three aspects: how smart sensors change lifestyles, improve living environments, and transform production methods.
Previous article: Sensing changes the way people live
As the starting point of intelligent technology, sensors are responsible for obtaining information and helping people to complete more accurate and efficient life health and safety monitoring in the health field. Meteorological environment monitoring, exercise fat burning, air quality, water quality monitoring, etc. are all typical applications of intelligent sensors in daily human life.
Intelligent odor recognition electronic system
The intelligent odor recognition electronic system is mainly composed of an electronic nose detection module composed of a gas sensor array, which is equipped with a separate detection chamber, including a sensor array, a signal acquisition system, a single-chip computer system containing a pattern recognition algorithm, etc. This type of product is mainly used in smart home appliances and smart homes. It can detect and identify special odors in complex environments and can be applied to scenes such as refrigerators, toilets, and tea frying to accurately identify odors in different scenes.
Artificial Olfactory Smell Recognition and Detection System
The artificial olfactory intelligent detection platform technology has the advantages of advanced technology and gas identification. It can monitor the environmental air quality or industrial gas leaks and toxic gases in industrial production processes; detect and identify volatile gases in the production and circulation of food, beverages, cosmetics, agricultural products, building materials, coatings, papermaking, electronic products, semiconductors, automobiles and other manufacturing enterprises, and is also of great significance in the field of rapid medical diagnosis. The system realizes the development of new gas-sensitive materials, the development of new gas sensors, the establishment of integrated sensor arrays, and the realization of artificial olfactory platforms.
Sports health fat burning monitoring system
Many modern health and medical studies have shown that the breath exhaled by the human body carries a lot of information about human health. People can not only monitor whether their breath is fresh through gas sensors, but also track human health and diagnose diseases early through the detection of exhaled gas. For example, during exercise, the human body consumes carbohydrates, sugars and fats, and the byproduct acetone produced when burning fat is exhaled.
More and more people are paying attention to sports health, and real-time monitoring of whether the body is burning fat during exercise is also a future intelligent trend. Medical research has shown that the acetone gas content exhaled by diabetics is strongly correlated with their blood sugar concentration, and their blood sugar concentration can be determined by detecting the acetone concentration in the patient's exhaled gas. The sports health fat burning monitoring system will develop a prototype system for health monitoring products with the goal of detecting acetone, hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, etc. in exhaled gas.
Detector for full-precision water quality monitoring
The water quality detector uses the third-generation micro-spectrum detection sensor to monitor water quality with full precision, meeting the refined management of users' daily washing scenes and achieving a water-saving and efficient washing process. At the same time, the third-generation micro-spectrum detection sensor uses fast detection technology and efficient data processing algorithms, and the product can detect water quality parameters in the complex and changeable washing environment in the washing machine.
Technology mainly targets the following areas:
The current product technology is applied in the "home washing machine washing scene". After future iterations and upgrades, the product can also be used in different washing scenes, such as washing dishes, washing fruits, bathing babies, swimming pools, etc.
Intelligent Energy Management System
The smart energy management system, which is mainly based on smart sockets, is mainly used in the monitoring and management of civil and commercial electrical appliances. It can be used in traditional civil 220V voltage products and scenarios, and is especially suitable for scenarios with intensive electricity use (charging), long-term energy storage, and periodic electricity use. For example: safe electricity use and over-threshold electrical appliance control strategies mainly in dormitories; safe charging, billing management, and overload protection mainly in charging carports; smart energy control for families mainly in smart homes; timed switches for daily electrical appliances, copiers, and water dispensers mainly in business places.
