Problems solved by technology

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a microphone array in the sound source directional device, which is composed of four microphones, a support frame, a rotating rod, a rotating shaft and an angle measuring mechanism, and the rotating rod of the microphone array in the sound source directional device It can rotate along the rotation axis. When in use, the microphone array is opened along the axis to form different angles. The four microphones present an array of geometric structure changes in the three-dimensional space, thereby completing multiple orientations on the target and improving orientation accuracy. When turning the microphone array rotating rod to the state where the angle of the array is zero degrees, it overcomes the fixed structure of the microphone array in the existing sound source directional device, which causes a large space occupation, is inconvenient to transport and carry, and uses a single array for target positioning. Accepting the sound source signal is easily limited by the size and geometry of the array, which greatly reduces the adaptability and practicability of the sound source localization device.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for matched positioning by repeatedly determining the direction of a target through sound wave application, in particular to a microphone array in a sound source orienting device. The microphone array in the sound source orienting device comprises four microphones, a supporting frame, a rotating bar, a rotating shaft and an included angle measuring mechanism. The rotating bar of the microphone array in the sound source orienting device can rotate along the rotating shaft, in the using process, the microphone array is opened along the shaft, so that different included angles are formed, the four microphones form a geometric structure change array in three-dimensional space, hence, the target can be repeatedly oriented, the orienting accuracy is improved, when the microphone array is not used, the rotating bar of the microphone array is rotated to be in the state that the array included angle is zero degree, and the defects that a microphone array in an existing sound source orienting device is fixed in structure, so that the occupied space is large, transporting and carrying are not convenient, in the target locating process, a single array is used for receiving sound source signals, locating can be limited by the size and the geometric structure of the array easily, and thus the adaptability and practicability of the sound source orienting device are greatly lowered can be overcome.

Description

technical field [0001] The technical solution of the present invention relates to a device for coordinating positioning by using sound waves to determine the direction of a target multiple times, specifically the microphone array in the sound source directional device. Background technique [0002] In many research fields such as robot navigation, speech enhancement, and target positioning, auditory perception technology has always been a research focus and hot topic. The sound source directional device with exquisite design, high precision and portability has important application value in many fields such as medical treatment, search and rescue, military and national defense. [0003] The microphone array used in the existing sound source directional device has a fixed structure and is bulky, and moving the array is time-consuming and labor-intensive and is likely to damage its components, which brings great difficulties to the sound source directional device to carry and ...
