At present, smog has become a severe weather phenomenon in cities, and smog is a result of interaction between specific climatic conditions and human activities; economic and social activities of high density population may inevitably discharge large amount of fine particles; once emission has exceeded atmospheric circulation capacity and carrying capacity, concentration of the fine particles may continue to accumulate, causing the smog phenomenon. In the smoggy weather, air pressure is reduced, inhalable particles in the air are suddenly increased, air fluidity is poor, and speed of spreading harmful bacteria and viruses to surrounding region is slow, resulting in high virus concentration in the air, and high risk of transmitting disease, so that people often wear anti-smog masks when they go out.

An anti-smog mask, also known as a PM2.5 mask, refers to a mask that may effectively filter PM2.5 particles. PM2.5 refers to particles having an aerodynamic equivalent diameter less than or equal to 2.5 μm (micrometer) in ambient air, is also called fine particles, which may be directly inhaled into human body, and interfere with gas exchange in lungs, causing diseases such as asthma, bronchitis and cardiovascular diseases. Tightness of the mask determines capacity of filtering suspended particulate molecules. Invisible killers in the air, tiny particles such as smog, viruses, bacteria, dust mites and pollen may be effectively filtered. The mask is suitable for environments of poor air quality.

Referring to FIG. 1, a structure of an anti-smog mask is generally formed by an anti-moisture layer 10, an activated carbon layer 11, a filter net layer 12 and a super flexible fine fiber layer 13 from an outer side to an inner side of the mask, wherein the anti-moisture layer 10 is mainly used for blocking particles having a diameter greater than 10 μm in the air, the activated carbon layer 11 is used for blocking and adsorbing particles having a diameter from 2.5 μm to 10 μm in the air, and finally the filter net layer 12 is used for blocking particles having a diameter less than 2.5 μm, thereby filtering large particles in the air, the super flexible fine fiber layer 13 is located in a position of the mask close to mouth and nose of a person, uses antibacterial fabric, has a super antibacterial rate greater than 90%, and has high water absorption capacity and sweat absorption capacity.

As time of using a mask increases, capacity to absorb harmful substances such as particles in the smog and dust in the air gradually decreases. Since people do not know the change in adsorption capacity of the mask, it is impossible to determine whether the mask may be continuously used and when a reasonable replacement may be made, and thus, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for detecting the change in the adsorption capacity of the mask so as to prompt a user to replace the mask in time.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a mask, the mask comprises a mask body, and the mask body includes a filtering layer, wherein the filtering layer is a layer in the mask which filters particles and determines adsorption capacity of the mask, and an embodiment of the present disclosure takes the filtering layer as a general term of the anti-moisture layer, the activated carbon layer and the filter net layer in the mask for description, and the mask further comprises:

A light emitter, disposed on a side of the filtering layer, the light emitter emitting light toward the filtering layer.

A photosensitive sensor, disposed on a side of the filtering layer where the light emitter is disposed or on a side opposite to the side of the filtering layer where the light emitter is disposed, the photosensitive sensor being used for sensing intensity of light emitted by the light emitter after being transmitted through the filtering layer or reflected by the filtering layer, and outputting a corresponding electrical signal.

A processing module, the processing module being connected with the light emitter and the photosensitive sensor, for driving the light emitter to emit light, and outputting a prompt of remaining adsorption capacity according to the electrical signal transmitted by the photosensitive sensor.

The light emitter emits light toward the filtering layer, the photosensitive sensor senses intensity of light emitted by the light emitter after being transmitted through the filtering layer or reflected by the filtering layer, and outputs a corresponding electrical signal, and the processing module drives the light emitter to emit light, and outputs a prompt of remaining adsorption capacity according to the electrical signal transmitted by the photosensitive sensor, so that change in the adsorption capacity of the mask at this time may be detected, thereby prompting a user to replace the mask in time.

For example, the light emitter and the photosensitive sensor on the mask may be located on a same side or different sides of the filtering layer. Referring to FIG. 2, the light emitter 21 and the photosensitive sensor 22 are located on different sides of the filtering layer 31, and the photosensitive sensor 22 is located between the filtering layer 31 and the super flexible fine fiber layer, and the light emitter 21 emits light toward the filtering layer 31.

It should be noted that, the adsorption capacity of the mask is determined according to amount of particles adsorbed by the filtering layer 31 in the mask; when a small amount of particles is adsorbed by the filtering layer 31, it indicates that the mask has strong adsorption capacity at this time, and is not necessary to be replaced; and when the amount of particles adsorbed by the filtering layer 31 of the mask gradually increases, it indicates that the adsorption capacity of the mask is continuously weakened, and the mask should be replaced till the adsorption capacity is weakened to a certain extent. Therefore, when the light emitter 21 emits light toward the filtering layer 31, as the amount of the adsorbed substance on the filtering layer 31 gradually increases, the intensity of the light transmitted through the filtering layer 31 gradually decreases, and the photosensitive sensor 22 disposed on the other side of the filtering layer 31 may sense intensity of the light emitted by the light emitter 21 after being transmitted by the filtering layer 31, and output a corresponding electrical signal, and the processing module 23 may output a prompt of remaining adsorption capacity of the filtering layer 31 according to the electrical signal transmitted by the photosensitive sensor 22. Wherein, the processing module 23 is connected with the light emitter 21 and the photosensitive sensor 22, and is also used for supplying power to the light emitter 21.

For example, referring to FIG. 3, positions of the light emitter 21 and the photosensitive sensor 22 may be interchanged according to actual conditions, that is, the light emitter 21 is located between the filtering layer 31 and the super flexible fine fiber layer, and principle of detecting the adsorption capacity of the mask is the same at this time, and since the light emitter 21 is placed on an inner side of the mask, influence of external light may be reduced to a certain extent, and the detection of the photosensitive sensor is more accurate.

For example, the light emitter includes one light emitting unit, or a light emitting array formed by at least two light emitting units, and the photosensitive sensor includes one sub-photosensitive sensor, or a photosensitive array formed by at least two sub-photosensitive sensors. For example, the light emitting unit is, for example, a light emitting diode (LED), an organic light emitting diode (OLED) or the like. For example, the sub-photosensitive sensor may be of various types such as a photosensitive diode, a photosensitive transistor or the like.

Referring to FIG. 4, the light emitter 21 is a light emitting array formed by at least two light emitting units 211, the photosensitive sensor 22 is a photosensitive array formed by at least two sub-photosensitive sensors 221, and the processing module outputs a remaining adsorption capacity parameter of the filtering layer according to an electrical signal matrix transmitted by the photosensitive array.

Referring to FIG. 5, there is a schematic diagram of a working mode when the light emitter is a light emitting array formed by at least two light emitting units and the photosensitive sensor is a photosensitive array formed by at least two sub-photosensitive sensors, and the processing module controls the light emitting array to emit light, and the photosensitive array receives intensity of light passing through the filtering layer and outputs a corresponding electrical signal, the processing module obtains an electrical signal matrix according to the electrical signal matrix transmitted by the photosensitive array and generates a remaining adsorption capacity parameter of the filtering layer, and analyzes conditions of adsorbed substance in the mask, and finally obtains a remaining adsorption value of the mask, and determines remaining use time of the mask, and reminds a user whether the mask should be replaced, wherein the electrical signal is in one-to-one correspondence with the remaining adsorption capacity parameter of the filtering layer.

Referring to FIG. 6, the light emitter 21 is one light emitting unit 211, and the photosensitive sensor 22 is a photosensitive array formed by at least two sub-photosensitive sensors 221, and at this time, the processing module controls the light emitting unit 211 to emit light, after the photosensitive array receives the light, the processing module may determine amount of absorbed substance in different directions of the filtering layer according to the electrical signals outputted by the photosensitive array, so as to make a judgment on the use of the entire mask, wherein, part of the sub-photosensitive sensors 221 in the photosensitive array may also be controlled for operation.

Referring to FIG. 7, the light emitter 21 is a light emitting array formed by at least two light emitting units 211, and the photosensitive sensor 22 is one sub-photosensitive sensor 221, and the processing module may control the light emitting units 211 in different positions in the light emitting array to emit light, and amount of adsorbed substance in different directions of the filtering layer may be obtained by collating the electrical signals outputted by the sub-photosensitive sensor 221, and remaining adsorption capacity of the mask may be obtained by analyzing comprehensively.

Referring to FIG. 8, there is a schematic diagram of detecting adsorption capacity of a mask by a light emitter 21 and a photosensitive sensor 22, the processing module 23 controls the light emitter to emit light toward the filtering layer 31, and the photosensitive sensor 22 senses intensity of the light emitted by the light emitter 21 after being transmitted through the filtering layer 31 or reflected by the filtering layer 31, and outputs a corresponding electrical signal to the processing module 23, and the processing module 23 generates a remaining adsorption capacity parameter of the filtering layer according to the electrical signal, and transmits to a user, so that the user may know use condition of the mask in time.

It should be noted that, in the above several implementation modes, the principle of detecting the adsorption capacity of the mask is unchanged, and similarly, the light emitter emits light toward the filtering layer, and the photosensitive sensor senses intensity of the light emitted by the light emitter after being transmitted through the filtering layer or reflected by the filtering layer, and outputs a corresponding electrical signal, and then the processing module outputs a prompt of remaining adsorption capacity of the filtering layer according to the electrical signal transmitted by the photosensitive sensor.

For example, referring to FIG. 9, the light emitter and the photosensitive sensor are located on a same side of the filtering layer 31, and at this time, the light emitter and the photosensitive sensor form an array structure, wherein the array includes at least one light emitting unit 211 and at least one sub-photosensitive sensor 221, and meanwhile the array may be located on any side of the filtering layer 31.

It should be noted that, when the light emitting unit emits light toward the filtering layer, since the amount of the adsorbed substance on the filtering layer gradually increases, intensity of the light transmitted through the filtering layer may gradually decrease, intensity of light reflected from the filtering layer to the sub-photosensitive sensor gradually increases, and the sub-photosensitive sensor outputs a corresponding electrical signal by sensing the intensity of the light, and the processing module may output a prompt of remaining adsorption capacity of the filtering layer according to the electrical signal transmitted by the photosensitive sensor.

For example, referring to FIG. 10, a transflective film 32 is adhered on a side of the filtering layer 31, and the transflective film 32 is located between an array structure formed by the light emitter 21 and the photosensitive sensor 22 and the filtering layer 31. The transflective film 32 may better transmit the light emitted by the light emitting unit 211 to the sub-photosensitive sensor 221, so that the processing module 23 outputs a prompt of remaining adsorption capacity of the filtering layer according to the electrical signal transmitted by the sub-photosensitive sensor 221. The photosensitive sensor 22 may be a photoelectric diode.

For example, referring to FIG. 11, the light emitter 21, the photosensitive sensor 22 and the transflective film 32 are packaged as a whole member for detecting adsorption capacity of a mask, and the whole member may also be used in other scenarios of measuring the adsorption capacity; since it is an optical device, has simple principle and easy to operate, it may be used in more scenarios. The transflective film 32 used in a structure of the whole member may be a layered structure formed by depositing polymer in multilayer to transmit part of light and reflect part of the light, or a discontinuously evaporated metal film. Since a size of the member is about 5mm*5mm, the small size may not affect normal breathing; it may be installed at any position of the mask, and a best position is near nose and mouth.

For example, referring to FIG. 12, the processing module includes a display unit 231, and a converting circuit 232 connected between the photosensitive sensor 22 and the display unit 231. For example, the display unit may be a device having a display function, such as an LCD display device, an OLED display device, an LED display device, a digital tube or the like, which may, for example, display an image or prompt information.

Therein, the converting circuit 232 is used for converting the electrical signal transmitted by the photosensitive sensor 22 into a driving signal of the display unit 231, wherein the display unit 231 is used for outputting a prompting signal according to the driving signal, and the prompting signal is in one-to-one correspondence with the remaining adsorption capacity of the filtering layer.

For example, the processing module applies a constant voltage on the light emitter 21 to check a voltage Vs of the photosensitive sensor 22, and then a voltage of an electrode of the display unit 231 may be obtained by adjusting the circuit, that is, V=VCC-Vs-1.4; because the photosensitive sensor 22 may generate different voltages Vs in different transmitting conditions, the voltage of the display unit 231 may be affected such that different prompting signals is output by the display unit 231, and the prompting signal may be that the display unit 231 performs color changing display according to the driving signal, for example, when the remaining adsorption capacity of the filtering layer is strong, the display unit 231 displays green, and when the remaining adsorption capacity of the filtering layer is weak, the display unit 231 displays red.

For example, referring to FIG. 13, the converting circuit 232 includes an operational amplifier 233, two input terminals of the operational amplifier 233 are connected with both terminals of the photosensitive sensor 22, an output terminal of the operational amplifier 233 is connected with the display unit 231, and the operational amplifier 233 is used for amplifying the electric signal into a driving signal.

For example, after the light emitted by the light emitter 21 is transmitted or reflected by the filtering layer 31, the sub-photosensitive sensor 221 receives the light and outputs a corresponding electrical signal, and the operational amplifier 233 amplifies the electrical signal output by the photosensitive sensor 221.

For example, referring to FIG. 14, the converting circuit 232 further includes a voltage modulating circuit 234, and the voltage modulating circuit 234 is connected in series between the output terminal of the operational amplifier 233 and the display unit 231.

The voltage modulating circuit 234 is for adjusting a voltage of the driving signal to satisfy a withstand voltage value of the display unit.

For example, referring to FIG. 15, the processing module 23 includes: a processing unit 235 and a wireless communication unit 236, and the processing unit 235 is used for generating a remaining adsorption capacity parameter of the filtering layer according to the electrical signal, wherein the electrical signal is in one-to-one correspondence with the remaining adsorption capacity parameter of the filtering layer; the wireless communication unit 236 is used for outputting the remaining adsorption capacity parameter of the filtering layer to a user device 24 in data connection therewith. For example, the processing unit 235 may be a circuit having processing capacity, or may be a processor (e.g., a central processing unit, a microprocessor, etc.), a digital signal processor (DSP), a programmable logic controller (PLC), etc.; the wireless communication unit 236 may include a modem, an antenna, etc., for example, communication may be realized in many modes such as WIFI, mobile communication network (e.g., 3G/4G/5G, etc.), Bluetooth, ZigBee and the like.

For example, the processing unit may output the remaining adsorption capacity parameter of the filtering layer according to the electrical signal transmitted by the photosensitive sensor, including: the processing unit stores a function or chart of corresponding relationship between the amount of the adsorbed substance on the filtering layer and the electrical signal output by the photosensitive sensor, and total amount of the substance which can be adsorbed by the filtering layer, the processing unit may obtain the amount of the adsorbed substance on the filtering layer by receiving the electrical signal output by the photosensitive sensor, thereby obtaining a remaining adsorption value of the filtering layer, and determining the adsorption capacity of the mask. The wireless communication unit may perform data communication with a user device, for example, a smart device such as a mobile phone or a computer and so on, and transmit real time information of the mask, including the remaining adsorption value of the filtering layer of the mask, the remaining usage time and information on whether the mask should be replaced, to the user device, so as to facilitate the user knowing the using condition of the mask in real time and replacing it when needed.

For example, the mask further comprises an indicator light disposed on an outer side of the mask; the processing module is used for receiving an instruction to turn on the indicator light output by a user device in data connection therewith, and turning on the indicator light according to the instruction. Alternatively, the processing module is used for receiving air quality information output by the user device in data connection therewith, and controlling turning on the indicator light according to the air quality information.

For example, when a user device receives real time air condition information, if a user is in smoggy weather and concentration of PM2.5 reaches a certain value, the user device may send an instruction to turn on the indicator light installed on the outer side of the mask according to the weather condition information, and the indicator light emit yellow light to ensure safe walking and playing a role of safety warning on the road. Illuminating characteristic of the yellow light may be controlled by a program to save power consumption and play a warning role, or when the user device receives the real time air condition information, the air quality information is transmitted to the processing module in the mask, and the processing module processes the air quality information and controls turning on the indicator light according to the air quality information by judging that the concentration of PM2.5 reaches a certain value.

For example, the processing module in the foregoing embodiment may be a circuit for performing data processing and transmission, and the light emitting unit may be a light emitting device such as a light emitting diode, and the user device may be a mobile phone, a navigator, a personal computer (PC), a netbook computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a server or the like, or the above-mentioned user device may be a PC or server provided with a software client or a software system or software application which can used the method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure to process historical path data, and implementation environment of hardware may be in a form of a general computer, or an ASIC, or an FPGA, or a programmable extension platform such as Xtensa platform of Tensilica.

The first electrode 2311 is connected with one terminal of the photosensitive material 2212, and the second electrode 2312 is connected with the other terminal of the photosensitive material 2212.

The micro-mirror 2211 is used for focusing light emitted by the light emitter after being transmitted or reflected by the filtering layer on the photosensitive material 2212, and the photosensitive material 2212 is used for generating an electrical signal according to intensity of the focused light, the photonic crystal 2313 is used for color changing display according to a magnitude of the electrical signal, and remaining adsorption capacity of the filtering layer is in one-to-one correspondence with the displayed color.
