Problems solved by technology

[0002] The existing ordinary cane for the blind can only guide the blind to walk by touching the ground, and cannot effectively remind the blind to avoid obstacles, nor can it realize the real-time position monitoring of the blind. The function is relatively single and cannot meet the various travel needs of the blind.
[0003] There are also canes with electronic detection functions, such as the patent title "An Intelligent Guide Cane for the Blind", the patent application number is 201711471348.9, which can reliably detect whether there is an obstacle in front by setting a sensor at the bottom of the cane and supporting the cane with wheels objects, but the sensors in this publication are concentrated at the bottom of the cane, the detection accuracy is limited, and the navigation and pointing functions cannot be truly realized

Embodiment Construction

[0020] The top of the support rod 2 of the guide cane is fixed with a handle 1, and the bottom end of the support rod 2 is fixed with two front support legs 3 and a rear support leg 4. Under the user's use state, the direction of walking forward is the front, and the user The direction of the back is the back, so the handle 1 is arranged longitudinally in the front and rear directions, the two front support legs 3 are located in front of the rear support legs 4, and are gradually split downwards to form a figure-eight fixed, and the rear support legs 4 are located on the back of the cane and extend downwards , the bottoms of the front support leg 3 and the rear support leg 4 are fixed with a wheel frame 5, and each wheel frame 5 is fixed with a roller 6, and then the three wheel frames 5 are triangularly distributed to support the whole walking stick.

[0021] The effect of the cane is similar to that of a guide rod. The user holds the handle 1 and places the cane in front of t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a seeing-eye cane. The top end of a supporting rod is fixedly provided with a grip, the bottom end of the supporting rod is fixedly provided with two front supporting legs anda rear supporting leg, wherein the downward opening degree of the two front supporting legs at the front side of the cane is gradually increased, the rear supporting leg is located at the rear side ofthe cane and extends downward, the bottoms of the front supporting legs and rear supporting leg are fixedly provided with wheel frames respectively, the wheel frames are fixedly provided with rollers, the front end faces of the wheel frames on the two front supporting legs are fixedly provided with lower ranging radars, the lower ranging radars transmit front obstacle signals to a controller fixed in the grip through signal lines, the grip is internally and fixedly provided with a vibrator and a power source, the power source supplies power to the controller, and the controller outputs a vibration driving signal to the vibrator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cane with the function of guiding the blind. Background technique [0002] The existing ordinary cane for the blind can only guide the blind to walk by touching the ground, and cannot effectively remind the blind to avoid obstacles, nor can it realize real-time position monitoring of the blind. [0003] There are also canes with electronic detection functions, such as the patent title "An Intelligent Guide Cane for the Blind", the patent application number is 201711471348.9, which can reliably detect whether there is an obstacle in front by setting a sensor at the bottom of the cane and supporting the cane with wheels However, the sensors in this publication are concentrated at the bottom of the cane, the detection accuracy is limited, and the navigation and pointing functions cannot be truly realized. Contents of the invention [0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to realize a walking sti...
