FIELD: medical equipment. SUBSTANCE: walking-stick for invalid by vision has stick provided with handle and receiver-transmitter, data processing unit and signaler, all connected with electric circuit. Receiver-transmitter is mounted in stick for change in angle of inclination to axis of stick at plane of symmetry of walking-stick and it is provided with aid for quick control of angle of inclination during usage. EFFECT: improved comfort, improved efficiency. 7 cl, 3 dwg
The invention relates to medical engineering, in particular to a device for guiding the blind in the surrounding space, and can be used in independent movement of the blind in the nondeterministic setting. Known ultrasonic cane "UltraCane, the material which is published, for example, in the newspaper "Yorkshire Post" for February 1, 2005, section Busiess week"article "Sound idea offers help to the blind". More detailed information about stick UltraCane" available on the Internet, on the websitewww.soundforsight.co.uk. Cane "UltraCane contains 2 fixed ultrasonic piemaisijies, the information-processing device and the signaling device in the form of a vibration sensor mounted in the handle of a cane. The appearance of pievescola stick UltraCane is shown in Appendix 2. The axis of one of piemaisijies when using a cane directed forward relative to the user (for remote detection of obstacles in the direction of travel), the second axis is at an angle above the horizon (to detect obstacles at head level). Premisljati generate ultrasonic pulses and receive the reflected echo signals. Depending on what channel received signal, the information-processing device includes a particular vibration sensor, and the user can roughly judge the location of the obstacles. Under taccom known canes "UltraCane" what axis direction of the ultrasonic pievescola rigidly fixed relative to the cane, and the user may not wish to change, for example, the height of the viewing area according to their growth or any other preferences. Also known cane "LaserCane"adopted as the closest analogue, the material which is published, for example, in the journal "Photonics" in June 2003, the category of "Accent on application", article "Lasers assist the Blind". More detailed information about stick LaserCane" available on the Internet, on the websitewww. lasercane.com/lasercane.htm. In canes "LaserCane used 3 laser piemaisijies, the rays of which are directed at the use of the cane, respectively: - straight forward; - forward and slightly upward to detect obstacles upper level; - forward and slightly down for the detection of obstacles lower level, such as curbs. The advantage of canes "LaserCane" compared with a cane "UltraCane" is that the direction of the radar beam, in this case the laser responsible for the detection of obstacles the upper level, namely at the height of the shoulders and the head, can be adjusted by the user before use. This allows, in particular, to take into account the angle at which you are accustomed to hold the cane when walking, and to avoid detection "unnecessary" obstacles located in the heart of the city centre height above the user's head (see excerpt from www://nurion.net/page9). The disadvantage stick LaserCane" is that directly in the operation of the direction of location of the rays relative to the axis of the stick cane remains unchanged, and the user may at any time movement wishes to change the angle of the radar beams relative to the axis of the stick cane. Scanning the field of view in the horizontal plane is carried out using the usual technique of working with a cane for the blind, i.e. through periodic swinging sticks left and right, scanning up and down, for example, to search or Refine the localization of small obstacles is possible only by raising and lowering the cane, which is a bit inconvenient and dangerous to others, if the device is used in a public place. Another drawback inherent to stick LaserCane"and stick UltraCane", is the use of two (three) pievescola for expanding the viewing angle in the vertical plane and, consequently, the complexity of the encoding signals on the indicator, because the user must distinguish from each other the danger signals that correspond to the various sectors of the field of view. From the point of view of the accuracy of determining the direction to the obstacle in the vertical plane of the objective in both cases is solved in which SIMA roughly: in the sticks "UltraCane" only two grades in the view of the elevation angle, and stick LaserCane" three. The task of the invention is the transition from the discrete representation of the angular information for continuous and more efficient control angle piemaisijies about the axis of the stick during the movement of the user. This problem is solved due to the fact that the canes for the visually impaired, containing a stick with a handle, priemysel installed in the sticks with the ability to change the tilt angle in a common plane of symmetry sticks and handles the processing unit and the detector, priemysel provided with a means for operational control angle to the axis of the stick during the movement of the user. Priemysel in canes can be set by means of an axis located perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of a cane, and is provided with at least one control lever, the free end of which is deposited on the surface of the handle. The free end of the control lever can be placed on the top surface of the handle. The free end of the control lever can be displayed on the lower surface of the handle. Priemysel may be provided with a return spring, one end secured to the handle, and another end connected with premoistened. Priemysel can be equipped ill is related to the toothed wheel, established through the axis perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of the cane, with some gears above the surface of the handle. Priemysel may be provided with a stopper which is secured to the handle and is engaged with the toothed wheel. The technical result of the invention is to improve operational manageability angle piemaisijies about the axis of the stick during the movement of the user. Due to the presence of the control lever, the free end of which is placed on the top surface of the handle, the opportunity to control the angle of piemaisijies through, for example, the thumb of the hand holding the cane, allowing the user to perform arbitrary scanning of the probe beam in the plane of symmetry of a cane. Due to the presence of the control lever, the free end of which is displayed on the lower surface of arm, came the ability to control the angle piemaisijies through, for example, the index finger of the hand holding the cane. Due to the presence of recoil, priemysel automatically returns to its original position upon cessation of the impact of the user on the lever that provides a certain direction of the probe beam relative to the axis of the stick, is anee known to the user. Due to the presence of gears connected with premoistened, possibility of manual control angle piemaisijies about the axis of the stick, and minimized the size of elements that extend beyond the arm, and increases mechanical reliability canes in the event of its falling or accidental mechanical impact on a cane. Due to the presence of the stopper, there is an opportunity to fix the angle of piemaisijies about the axis of the stick in any position convenient for the user at the moment of its movement, which helped to release the finger acting on the element of manual control, namely the toothed wheel. In figure 1, figure 2 and Figure 3 presents examples of the cane in the section. The cane for the visually impaired (figure 1) contains the stick 1, arm 2, priemysel 3, mounted in the handle by means of axis 4, block 5 of the information processing, the power source 6 and the detector 7. Axis 4 is perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of a cane. Structurally, priemysel 3, block 5 of the information processing, the power source 6 and the detector 7 are located inside the handle 2 and interrelated electrical circuit 8. Priemysel 3 is installed with the possibility of changing the angle α tilt its axis 9 orientation relative to the axis 10 of the symmetry of the stick 1 in General, the plane of symmetry of the stick 1 and arm 2, i.e. in the plane of symmetry of a cane. To premisljati 3 attached to the lever 11 management, the free end of which is displayed on the upper part 12 of the surface of the handle 2. Figure 2 shows an example implementation of a cane, when premisljati 3 attached to the control lever 13, the free end of which is displayed on the lower surface 14 of the handle 2. Priemysel 3 is equipped with a return spring 15, one end of which is secured to the handle 2 (Fig 1, 2), and the other end connected with premoistened. Figure 3 shows an example in which priemysel 16 provided with rigidly connected to it a toothed wheel 17 mounted through the axis 18 on the handle 2, with the gear wheel 17 is over the top surface 12 of the handle 2. The axis 18 is perpendicular to the plane of symmetry of a cane. Thus priemysel 16 provided with a stopper 19, which is secured to the handle 2 and is engaged with the toothed wheel 17. In General, the cane operates as follows. When positioning the free end of the lever 11 of the control on the top surface 12 of the handle 2 (Fig 1) the direction of the axis 9 in the direction of piemaisijies 3 about the axis 10 of the symmetry of the stick 1 can quickly be adjusted by the user, for example, by means of the thumb acting on the lever 11 of the control. When the extracted freedoms the second end of the control lever 13 on the lower surface of the handle 2 (figure 2), the user can quickly adjust the direction of the axis 9 in the direction of piemaisijies 3 about the axis 10 of the symmetry of the stick 1, for example, by the index finger of the hand, acting on the lever 13 of the control. In the presence of the return spring 15, one end secured to the handle 2, and the other is connected with premoistened 3, the position of the axis 9 in the direction of piemaisijies 3 about the axis 10 of the symmetry of the stick 1 is uniquely determined, namely in the absence of effects on the lever 11 (or 13) control user priemysel 3 is at the home position, predetermined by the user. In the presence of the toothed wheel 17 (3), rigidly connected to premoistened 16, the user can quickly adjust the angular position of the axis 20 in the direction of piemaisijies 16 about the axis 10 of the symmetry of the stick 1, for example, by means of the thumb of the hand holding the cane. In the presence of the stopper 19 (3) priemysel 16 may be fixed by the user relative to the handle 2 in the most convenient angular position at the moment of the movement of the user. The technical result of the invention is to improve operational manageability angle piemaisijies about the axis of the stick during the movement of the user. 1.
