Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention


The present invention relates to an alert system with a sensor to detect metal or magnetic material and then sends the detected result to the micro-processor or the control panel to make comparison between the detected result and database. When any dangerous metal or magnetic material touching against the sensor, the micro-processor sends out a signal to the control panel, prompting the warning system to warn the user with signals or sounds. Meanwhile, the control panel also starts up the protection device to protect the user from being hurt by dangerous metal or magnetic material.


2. Description of the Priort Art


Today's medical operation still uses traditional operating tools; however, the operating knife is too sharp and the gloves too thin that make doctors fail to find any fracture or damage in the tools. Therefore, the doctors might touch the patients' blood directly because of a single hole pierced by the metal, leading to bacterial infection or disease infection and thus threatening the doctors' and the nursing staff's life.


Furthermore, cleaners cleaning up the garbage may not know the existence of dangerous stuff that might hurt people, such as needle head, sharp metal or magnetic material.


In view of such disadvantages, the inventor of the present invention was devoted to finding a solution and accomplished structural improvement for alert system.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main objective for the present invention is to provide an alert system with a sensor called CCD able to detect metal or magnetic material and sends the detected result to the micro-processor, where the detected result is compared with the data in the database. If the detected result indicates the existence of metal or magnetic material, the micro-processor then sends out a signal to the control panel, where the warning device warns the user with sounds or signals and the protection device protects the user from being hurt.


Another objective for the present invention is to provide an alert system whose sensor can be a magnetic wave sensor that uses magnetic wave to detect metal or magnetic material and then sends out signals to the control panel. The control panel that detects the existence of metal or magnetic material sends out a signal to the warning device which warns the user with sounds or signals and protects the user from being hurt by dangerous metal or magnetic material.


Still another objective for the present invention is to provide an alert system whose sensor can be a thermal sensor or CCD that utilizes a thermal sensing device to detect the temperature and sends the detected results to the micro-processor. This micro-processor that receives the information from the thermal sensor and the CCD image device compares the result with the database to judge the existence of metal or magnetic material. If any metal or magnetic material is detected, the micro-processor sends out a signal the control panel, where the warning device warns the user with sounds or signals and the protection device protects the user from being hurt.


One another objective for the present invention is to provide an alert system whose sensor can be made of conductive material. When any metal or magnetic material touches against the conductive material, the sensor sends out a signal to the control panel where the warning device warns the user with sounds or signals. The protection device can be an airtight chamber or contains identifiable or medicinal liquid.


Still one another objective for the present invention is to provide an alert system whose sensor can be a thermal sensor or CCD that utilizes a thermal sensing device to detect the temperature of the metal and magnetic material. The detected results and the image information obtained by the CCD image device are converted into signals which are then delivered to the micro-processor. The micro-processor compares the information with the database to judge the existence of metal or magnetic material. The micro-processor that detects any metal or magnetic material sends out a signal to the warning device and the motor, where the warning device warns the user with sounds or signals and the motor enables the protection device to protect the user.


One more objective for the present invention is to provide an alert system whose sensor can be a diode or beeper. When the micro-processor sends out a signal to the warning device, the diode or beeper of the warning device warns the user against the metal or magnetic material nearby by glittering or beeping.


Also another objective for the present invention is to provide an alert system whose sensor can be an airtight chamber. When the micro-processor sends out a signal to the motor, the motor starts automatically and with air injected to the airtight chamber of the protection device which then inflates to protect the user from being hurt by metal or magnetic material.


The last objective for the present invention is to provide an alert system whose sensor contains identifiable liquid or medicinal liquid. When the micro-processor sends out a signal to the motor, the motor starts automatically and pressurizes the protection device to push the liquid out, thus warns the user against the metal or magnetic material.


The present invention relates to an alert system with a sensor designed to detect metal or magnetic material and then sends the detected result to the micro-processor to make comparison between the result and the database. When the sensor detects metal or magnetic material, the micro-processor sends out a signal to the control panel, prompting the warning system to warn the user with sounds or signals. The motor receiving the signal from the micro-processor enables the protection device to protect the user from being hurt by dangerous metal or magnetic material. The sensor can be a CCD image device, a thermal sensor, a conductive sensor or an electromagnetic wave sensor that sends out a signal to the micro-processor. The warning device can be a diode or a beeper that warns the user against metal or magnetic material by glittering or beeping after receiving the signal from the micro-processor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Please refer to FIG. 1. The present invention contains:

    • a sensor 1 that sends out a signal to the control panel 3. The sensor can be made of conductive material 11, a CCD image device 14, an electromagnetic wave sensor 12, a pressure sensor 13 or a thermal sensor 15;
    • a control panel 3 that consists of an electronic circuit 31, a warning device 32 and a protection device 33. The control panel receives the signal from the sensor 1 to warn the user;
    • when metal or magnetic material 8 touches against the conductive material 11 of the sensor 1, putting through the electronic circuit 31 of the control panel 3, the warning device 32 is prompted to warns the user with sounds or signals. Meanwhile, the protection device 33 of the control panel 3 protects the user from being hurt by the metal or magnetic material. The protection device 33 could be an airtight chamber 331 (such as gas with certain smell or color) or combined with a motor 332 for pressurization. With the protection device 33 is filled with certain liquid 333 (such as colored liquid, colloid liquid) or medicinal liquid 334 the electronic circuit 31 of control panel 3 being put through starts the motor 332, pushing the liquid 333 or the medicinal liquid 334 out of the protection device 33, enabling the user to identify the liquid, and thus protect the user from being hurt. The medicinal liquid 334 could provide disinfection function when the user is wounded. The warning device 32 of the control panel 3 could be a diode 321 or a beeper 322.


In the case where the sensor 1 is a pressure sensor 13, any metal or magnetic material 8 that touches against the pressure sensor 13 would cause unusual pressure. Therefore, the sensor 1 sends out a signal to the electronic circuit 31 of the control panel 3 and prompts the warning device 32 to warn the user with sounds or signals. The protection device 33 of the control panel 3 consists of an airtight chamber 331 and a motor 332. When the control panel 3 receives the signal from the sensor 1, its electronic circuit 31 starts the motor 332 of the protection device, injecting air into the airtight chamber 331 and protects the user from being hurt by the metal or magnetic material. The gas inside the airtight chamber 331 of the protection device 33 can be replaced with identifiable liquid 333 (such as color liquid or colloid liquid) or medicinal liquid 334. When the electronic circuit 31 of the control panel 3 is put through which starts the motor 323 of the protection device 33, the identifiable liquid 333 and the medicinal liquid 334 would flush out from the protection device 33, warning the user against any dangerous material. The medicinal liquid 334 could provide disinfection function for the user being wounded. The warning device 32 of the control panel 3 could be a diode 321 or a beeper 322.


Please refer to FIG. 2. The present invention contains:

    • a sensor 1 that sends out a signal to the micro-processor 2. The sensor can be made of conductive material 11, an electromagnetic wave sensor 12, a pressure sensor 13 or a CCD image device 14;
    • a micro-processor 2 that receives the signal from the sensor 1, compares the results with the database of the micro-processor 2 to judge the existence of metal or the magnetic material 8 and thereafter sends out a signal to the control panel 3.
    • a control panel 3 that consists of an electronic circuit 31, a warning device 32 and a protection device 33. The control panel receives the signal from the sensor 1 to warn the user.


The present invention uses a sensor 1 to detect metal or magnetic material 8 and then sends the detected results to the micro-processor 2 where the results are compared with the database's information to determine whether the detected objects are metal or magnetic material. When detecting any metal or magnetic material, the micro-processor 2 sends out a signal to the control panel 3 where the warning device 31 issues a signal or sounds to warn the user and the protection device 32 of the control panel 3 protects the user from being hurt by metal or magnetic material 8. The sensor 1 could be a CCD image device that delivers the information obtained to the micro-processor 2 where a comparison between the result and the database is made. If the comparison result indicates the existence of metal or magnetic material, the micro-processor 2 then sends out a signal to the control panel 3 where the warning device 31 issues sounds and signals to warn the user. The warning device 31 might be a diode 321 or a beeper 322. The electronic circuit 31 of the control panel 3 forces the motor 332 of the protection device 33 to inject gas into the airtight chamber 331 (such as gas with certain smell or color) to protect the user. The gas can be replaced with identifiable liquid 333 (such as colored liquid or colloid liquid) or medicinal liquid 334. The electronic circuit 31 of the control panel 3 being put through drives the motor 332 and forces the identifiable liquid 333 or the medicinal liquid 334 out of the protection device 33, so as to warn and protect the user with the identifiable liquid. The medicinal liquid 334 could provide disinfection function for the user being wounded.


The sensor 1 can contain both a thermal sensor 15 and a CCD image device 14. The temperature information obtained by the thermal sensor and the image information obtained by the CCD image device is sent to the micro-processor 2 where a comparison between the result and the database is made to see if any metal or magnetic material exists. When detecting any metal or magnetic material, the micro-processor 2 sends out a signal to the control panel where the warning device 32 warns the user with sounds or signals. The warning device 32 might be a diode 321 or a beeper 322. The electronic circuit 31 of the control panel 3 being put through drives the motor 332 of the protection device 33 to inject gas into the airtight chamber 331 (such as gas with certain smell or color) so as to protect the user. The gas can be replaced with identifiable liquid 333 (such as colored liquid or colloid liquid) or medicinal liquid 334. When the electronic circuit 31 of control panel 3 is put through, driving the motor 332 and forcing the identifiable liquid 333 or the medicinal liquid 334 out of the protection device 33, the user identifying the liquid would be warned and thus protected. The medicinal liquid 334 could provide disinfection function for the user being wounded.
