The control module 321 of the controller 32 will then send the acoustical signal to the processing module 120 of the microprocessor 12, and control the processing module 120 of the microprocessor 12 to operate corresponding action.


Specifically, the controller 32 also comprises a voice input module 327 connected to the control module 321.

The storing module 121 of the microprocessor 12 stores an acoustical signal model that optionally comprises a model representing the “displaying air quality” instruction. The processing module 120 of the microprocessor 12 then compares the received acoustical signal to the acoustical signal models. When the processing module 120 of the microprocessor 12 determines that the received acoustical signal matches the model representing the “displaying air quality” instruction, the processing module 120 of the microprocessor 12 will send the received air quality to the controller 32. The control module 321 of the controller 32 displays the air quality in the touch LCD screen 35, so that consumers can precisely know the air condition of current environment.


The suitcase body 1 also comprises a voice broadcasting device 28 connected to the microprocessor 12.

Specifically, the acoustical signal model optionally comprises the model representing “announcing air quality” instruction. When the processing module 120 of the microprocessor 12 determines that the received acoustical signal matches the model representing the “announcing air quality” instruction, the processing module 120 of the microprocessor 12 will send the received air quality to the voice broadcasting device 28, and the voice broadcasting device 28 will announce the current air quality received by the processing module 120 of the microprocessor 12, so that consumers can precisely know the air condition of current environment. It is to be explained that the working principle of voice broadcasting device 28 is a prior art and will not introduce it later.


The principle of the present invention's multifunctional intelligent suitcase that can detect air quality of ambient environment is the following.


The air quality monitoring module 25 collects the air quality of ambient environment at intervals according to the types of sensor such as PM2.5, fog, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and formaldehyde, converts this information of PM2.5, fog, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and formaldehyde into corresponding digits through A/D converter and sends them to the microprocessor 12. Then the microprocessor 12 determines whether the current air quality information collected by the air quality monitoring module 25 match the healthy air index. When either air quality of the current air quality does not meet the healthy air index, the microprocessor 12 will determine that the current air quality do not match healthy air index, and will then output a control signal (high level signal) to the electronic switch 23, thus the electronic switch 23 will be turned on and the LED strip 24 will light up, warning consumers that air quality does not meet the healthy air quality index.


Furthermore, consumers can operate corresponding actions controlled by the microprocessor 12 through the mobile control terminal 3. For example, when the LED strip 24 lights up, consumers know the current ambient air quality does not meet the standard, but do not the concrete condition of current ambient air. Now consumers can operate the voice input key shown in the touch LCD screen 35 to start the voice collector 37 to collect operator's sound. For example, when consumers send the instruction of displaying current air quality on the touch LCD screen 35, the voice collector 37 will collect the voice information through an A/D converter and send it to the controller 32. The controller 32 will send the voice information to the microprocessor 12 for the comparison of the received acoustical signal to the acoustical signal models. When the microprocessor 12 determines that the received acoustical signal matches the model representing the “displaying air quality” instruction, the microprocessor 12 will send the received air quality to the controller 32, and the controller 32 will display the current air quality on the touch LCD screen 35, so that consumers can precisely know the air condition of current environment.


When the microprocessor 12 determines that the received acoustical signal matches the model representing the “announcing air quality” instruction, the microprocessor 12 will send the received air quality to the voice broadcasting device 28, and the voice broadcasting device 28 will announce the current air quality received by the microprocessor 12, so that consumers can precisely know the air condition of current environment.


The mobile control terminal 3 is optionally installed with an APP software, wherein the APP software has the functions of password setting, unlocking, weight information acquisition, distance setting and position information acquisition to enable the mobile control terminal 3 to have the functions of password setting, unlocking, weight information acquisition, distance setting, position information acquisition and voice input.
