[0028] Detailed implementation manners

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several changes and improvements can still be made. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, a portable flexible electronic board game tray system provided by the present invention includes a chessboard storage housing 11, a flexible chessboard body 12, and a flexible chessboard control system. The flexible chessboard body 12 is stored in or unfolded from the chessboard storage housing 11. The flexible chessboard control system includes a chess piece induction module, an MCU control system, and an EL light-emitting circuit chessboard coordinate guiding system. The chess piece induction module is installed in the flexible chessboard body 12, and the MCU control system is installed in the chessboard storage housing 11.

[0031] The EL light-emitting circuit chessboard coordinate guiding system includes an EL cold light printing light-emitting circuit 13 and an EL light-emitting circuit control system. The EL cold light printing light-emitting circuit 13 is arranged in the flexible chessboard body 12. The EL cold light printing light-emitting circuit 13 includes a Y-axis EL cold light-emitting thin film printing circuit layer 4 and an X-axis EL cold light-emitting thin film printing circuit layer 5, and the EL cold light printing light-emitting circuit 13 coincides with the chess path of the flexible chessboard body 12. The EL light-emitting circuit control system is arranged in the chessboard storage housing 11, and the EL light-emitting circuit control system is electrically connected to the EL cold light printing light-emitting circuit 13.

[0032] As Figure 2 shown, the flexible chessboard body 12 includes a bottom pattern printing layer 1, a rubber soft magnetic sheet layer 2, a first hot melt adhesive layer 3, a Y-axis EL cold light-emitting thin film printing circuit layer 4, an X-axis EL cold light-emitting thin film printing circuit layer 5, a first thin film printing circuit layer 6, a film isolation layer 7, a second thin film printing circuit layer 8, a second hot melt adhesive layer 9, and a PET chess surface layer 10, which are sequentially arranged from bottom to top.

[0033] On one side of the first thin-film printed circuit layer 6 close to the thin-film isolation layer 7, there is a first contact 14. On one side of the second thin-film printed circuit layer 8 close to the thin-film isolation layer 7, there is a second contact 15. The first contact 14 and the second contact 15 are arranged in correspondence. When sufficient pressure is applied to the PET chess surface, the second contact 15 at the corresponding position is pressed, and the second contact 15 contacts the corresponding first contact 14, so that the first thin-film printed circuit layer 6 and the second thin-film printed circuit layer 8 are connected, thereby energizing the Y-axis EL cold-light emitting thin-film printed circuit layer 4 and the X-axis EL cold-light emitting thin-film printed circuit layer 5, and sending signals to the MCU control system, so that the position where the PET chess layer 10 is pressed emits light, realizing the indication of the placement and removal of the chess piece 16.

[0034] As Figure 3 shown, in this application, the way to apply pressure to the PET chess layer 10 can be that the user presses it with his hand or other tools, or the chess piece 16 is used to apply pressure to the PET chess layer 10. This application preferably uses the chess piece 16, and the following content will be described taking the chess piece 16 as an example.

[0035] A magnet disc or a heavy metal piece that can be attracted by the rubber soft magnetic sheet is embedded in the chess piece 16. The front and back of the chess piece 16 both include protrusions, and any protrusion is arc-shaped, or there are bumps on the bottom plane of the single-convex chess piece 16. The rubber soft magnetic sheet layer 2 is a planar rubber soft magnet. When the chess piece 16 is placed on the PET chess layer 10, the rubber soft magnetic sheet layer 2 at the bottom of the flexible chessboard attracts the chess piece 16, so that the chess piece 16 generates a downward pressure on the PET chess layer 10 to change the normally open or normally closed electrical signal state of the thin-film circuit contact switch. In order to accurately indicate the placement and removal of the chess piece 16, a first contact 14 and a second contact 15 are installed at each landing position on the PET chess layer 10, and any two adjacent landing positions do not affect each other.

[0036] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, further, a touch layer 17 is provided on the PET chess layer 10. The touch layer 17 is printed on the upper surface of the PET chess layer 10, and the touch layer 17 can be wound up and unfolded. The chess player can directly play chess and conduct teaching through the touch layer 17, and may not need the chess piece 16.

[0037] The EL electroluminescent printing light-emitting circuit 13 includes EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strips, which are arranged in the Y-axis EL electroluminescent thin-film printed circuit layer 4 and the X-axis EL electroluminescent thin-film printed circuit layer 5. The EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strips completely cover all the chess paths on the chessboard. Any EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strip is grounded in the circuit, and any EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strip is grounded and connected to the EL light-emitting circuit control system. And in order to ensure the stability of the electrical connection between the EL light-emitting circuit control system and the EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strip, both ends of any EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strip are connected to or grounded with the EL light-emitting circuit control system through flexible wires, and the flexible wires pass through the layer structure of the flexible chessboard, improving the service life of the flexible chessboard.

[0038] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, taking a 13-line Go board as an example, the 13 X-axis lines of the 13-line Go board are all located in the X-axis EL electroluminescent thin-film printed circuit layer 5, and the 13 Y-axis lines are all located in the Y-axis EL electroluminescent thin-film printed circuit layer 4. The X-axis and the Y-axis are perpendicular to each other. Each line is an independent EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strip. Each independent EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strip is grounded in the circuit and is respectively grounded and connected to the system EL light-emitting circuit control system. The power input of each EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strip circuit is an independent circuit and is connected to the corresponding drive interface of the EL light-emitting circuit control system. The EL light-emitting circuit control system will provide a common ground interface and twenty-six power output interfaces, and is connected to twenty-six independent EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strips.

[0039] The EL light-emitting circuit control system is arranged in the MCU control system, and an EL drive chip and an EL drive power supply are also arranged in the MCU control system. The EL drive chip, the EL drive power supply, and the EL light-emitting circuit control system cooperate to realize the control of power on or off of the EL thin-film printed electroluminescent light-emitting strips.

[0040] The chessboard storage housing 11 includes a space for accommodating the flexible chessboard body 12. A hatch opening for the flexible chessboard body 12 to pass through is provided on the chessboard storage housing 11. A reel 18 for winding or releasing the flexible chessboard body 12 is coaxially rotatably installed in the chessboard storage housing 11. A storage box 20 for accommodating the chess pieces 16 is detachably installed at one end of the chessboard storage housing 11. The main function of the reel 18 is to wind the flexible chess surface by rotating to realize the free retraction / extension of the flexible chess surface. A paper-rolling handle 19 is installed at one end of the chessboard storage housing 11. The paper-rolling handle 19 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the reel 18. By manually applying an external force to rotate the paper-rolling handle 19 in the positive direction to drive the reel 18 to rotate, the reel 18 rotates to realize the retraction / extension of the flexible chessboard.

[0041] The storage box 20 includes a first box body 21 and a second box body 22, and the first box body 21 and the second box body 22 are respectively screwed and rotated with each other to be locked and superposed and fixed. Any side of the side of the chessboard storage outer shell 11 has a threaded groove, and the bottom of the first box body 21 has a convex thread. The first box body 21 and the chessboard storage outer shell 11 are screwed and locked with each other to be superposed and fixed to achieve quick installation and disassembly. Moreover, the storage box 20 and the chessboard storage outer shell 11 are also integrated by magnets.

[0042] A conductive slip ring 23 is provided on the chessboard storage outer shell 11. The conductive slip ring 23 is a circuit connector with a 360-degree rotation characteristic in both forward and reverse directions. Through the conductive slip ring 23, seamless connection of all management circuit modules inside the cavity of the chessboard storage outer shell 11 and the outside of the reel 18 is achieved, and signal data interaction is realized.

[0043] The inner cavity of the reel 18 also includes an MCU control system, and each module of the MCU control system is connected to the signal wiring terminal of the conductive slip ring 23. The MCU control system includes a wireless communication module, an EL cold light drive module, and a thin film circuit signal input / output management module. The signal input / output ends of the above modules are connected to the signal wiring terminal of the conductive slip ring 23.

[0044] Inside the cavity of the chessboard outer shell and outside the reel 18, there also include a power management module, an information release module, a voice recognition and external speaker module, and several ELD buttons. The modules are all connected to the signal wiring terminal of the conductive slip ring 23.

[0045] A display screen, a speaker, and an ELD button are also provided on the chessboard storage outer shell 11, and the display screen, the speaker, and the ELD button are all connected to the MCU control system. The information release module is a small-sized liquid crystal display screen, and human-machine interaction is realized through information display.

[0046] The voice recognition and external speaker module includes a voice editing and storage module, a sound pickup module, and a speaker module. The voice editing and storage module edits the voice through previous events and presets it in the chip of the voice editing and storage module, and is driven and retrieved through MCU instructions. The sound pickup module is to recognize the audio signal in real time and transmit the signal to the MCU system to realize human-machine dialogue and instruction drive.

[0047] The flexible chessboard of the present application can realize human-machine battle, and the principle of human-machine battle is as follows:

[0048] (1) The system plays the black chess piece 16: The MCU system, according to the Go game program, sends instructions to the EL cold light drive module. For example, when the black chess piece is placed at the coordinate (F / 3), the EL cold light drive module will drive the preset program to drive the power output circuit of the interface with the coordinate (F / 3), so that the X / Y axis EL cold light strip circuit at the coordinate (F / 3) lights up. The intersection point with the coordinate (F / 3) is the target position for the black chess piece to be placed. And so on.

[0049] (2) The system captures the white chess piece 16: It works in the same principle as when the system plays the black chess piece 16. And so on.

[0050] (3) Voice broadcast technology for placing and capturing chess pieces: While the system completes the above technical steps (1 - 2), the MCU system, according to the Go game program, simultaneously sends instructions to the voice recognition and external speaker module. That is, it broadcasts the coordinate positions (the black chess piece is placed at F / 3) (the white chess piece captures at I / 7) to the player through the speaker. And so on.

[0051] (4) Replay: The MCU system, according to the current game ended by the player or a preset famous master's chess score, retrieves them one by one through the system chess score coordinates, and simultaneously sends the retrieved coordinates to the EL cold light drive module and the voice recognition and external speaker module. The above two modules, according to their own technical characteristics, will continuously guide the player to conduct a replay of the physical chess pieces 16 in the form of synchronized sound and light. Particularly, before the MCU system executes the next step of the replay, the following conditions need to be met;

[0052] The chess piece 16 accurately places the physical chess piece 16 according to the coordinate guidance prompt.

[0053] After the physical chess piece 16 is placed, the thin film circuit signal input / output management module needs to detect the (normally open / normally closed) state variable of the thin film circuit switch contact signal under the target chess position. That is, when the chess piece 16 is placed at (F / 3), the state of the thin film circuit switch contact (F / 3) changes from "normally open" to "normally closed", and after the signal is received by the MCU system, the MCU system will continue to execute the next program. The technology principle of the chess piece 16 capturing is similar to that of placing, that is, the state of the thin film circuit switch contact (I / 7) changes from "normally closed" to "normally open", and after the signal is received by the MCU system, the MCU system will continue to execute the next program.

[0054] Working principle

[0055] Through the cooperation of the roll paper handle 19 and the reel 18 installed on the chessboard storage shell 11, the flexible chessboard body 12 can be wound or unfolded, reducing the floor area of the chessboard and being convenient for storage. Through the EL cold light printing and lighting circuit 13 designed on the flexible chessboard body 12, while being able to realize the off-position indication of the chess pieces 16, it can also be wound together with the flexible chessboard body 12, reducing the processing cost and being convenient to use.

[0056] In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.
