Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a welding mask, and more specifically to a voice-controlled, wirelessly connected welding mask. Background Technology

[0002] Welding, also known as fusion welding, is a manufacturing process and technology that joins metals or other thermoplastic materials such as plastics by heating, high temperature, or high pressure. Modern welding utilizes various energy sources, including gas flames, electric arcs, lasers, electron beams, friction, and ultrasound. Besides its use in factories, welding can be performed in various environments, such as outdoors, underwater, and in space. Regardless of the location, welding can pose dangers to operators, so appropriate protective measures must be taken. Automatic dimming welding masks are one such protective tool. Automatic dimming welding masks can... Effectively protecting welders' eyes and faces, welding masks effectively block harmful ultraviolet and infrared rays, freeing up their hands and improving welding precision. They are increasingly popular among welders. With varying needs, welding masks are now offering more and more functions, not limited to welding. Their designs are also becoming more innovative. Multifunctional welding masks often feature a flip-up mechanism at the front, allowing the automatic light-changing lens module to be opened, shifting the field of vision away from the eyes. A transparent protective film then protects the eyes, enabling grinding operations or observation of the workpiece and welding environment without removing the mask. Current mechanisms typically use springs or torsion springs to open and close the welding mask's flip-up components, requiring manual pushing and pressing. This cumbersome process forces welders to put down their welding torch or electrode, failing to meet modern requirements.

[0003] After flipping the cover, there is a completely transparent protective panel in front, and the eyes will be fully exposed to the light from outside the mask. Existing flip products do not distinguish whether the eyes will be exposed to strong light after flipping the cover, which may cause eye damage.

[0004] Therefore, existing technology includes patent number 2020112178087, entitled "An Automatically Opening and Closing Light-Changing Welding Mask," which discloses a method of achieving voice-controlled flipping of the cover to determine whether protection is provided. However, this patent lacks error-proofing features and cannot determine whether to confirm the flipping / darkness adjustment / cutting mode switching operation based on the existing light intensity, thus failing to prevent accidental eye damage to welders from strong light. Furthermore, in actual use, the requirements for adjusting filter parameters are more numerous and precise, often involving adjustments to darkness, sensitivity, delay time, and cutting mode switching based on the actual working environment. However, the aforementioned existing technology cannot achieve the effect of adjusting filter parameters via voice control. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a wirelessly connectable welding mask that can be controlled by voice to achieve simple and effective parameter adjustment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a voice-controlled, wirelessly connectable welding mask, comprising a mask body, a wireless control terminal, and a control system disposed within the mask body, wherein the control system includes...

[0007] The speech recognition module is used to receive external speech, recognize the speech information, and output adjustment commands.

[0008] The central processor contains parameter information and is connected to the voice recognition module. It receives adjustment commands from the voice recognition module, parses the adjustment commands, adjusts the parameter information, and outputs a confirmation signal.

[0009] The execution module, connected to the central processor and also to the mask body, is used to receive the determination signal output by the central processor and adjust the filter or mask body according to the adjustment information in the determination signal;

[0010] The wireless communication module, connected to the execution module, is used to receive commands from the wireless control terminal and output execution signals.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the specific steps for the speech recognition module to perform speech information recognition are as follows:

[0012] Step 1: Identify the heuristic statements in the speech information. If a heuristic statement is identified, proceed to the next step. If no heuristic statement is identified, discard the speech information as noise.

[0013] Step 2: Identify the category adjustment statements in the speech information and compare them with the pre-stored category statements. If the comparison is successful, continue to the next step. If the comparison fails, output the new input category adjustment speech information to the mask. Then, compare the category statements of the newly input speech information again. If the comparison is successful, continue to the next step. If the comparison fails, discard the speech information as noise.

[0014] Step 3: Recognize the numerical adjustment statements in the voice information, and package the adjustment category and adjustment value into an adjustment command before outputting it.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the filter also has a light sensor, which is connected to the central processor and is used to detect the external light intensity and output the light data to the central processor. The central processor compares the light data with the pre-stored light data to determine whether welding is currently underway.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the adjustment command includes a darkness adjustment command and a cutting mode command. When the adjustment command received by the central processor is a darkness adjustment or a cutting mode switch, the central processor first determines whether welding work is in progress. If it determines that welding work is in progress, it outputs a voice prompt to confirm whether to perform the adjustment operation. If it receives a confirmation command again, it outputs the adjustment command to the execution module. If no confirmation information is received within a certain period of time, it exits the current adjustment operation. If the central processor determines that welding work is not in progress, it directly outputs the adjustment command to the execution module.

[0017] As a further improvement of the present invention, the mask body has a flip-top closing device, which is connected to the execution module. The central processor first determines whether welding work is in progress. If welding work is in progress, when the central processor receives the flip-top adjustment command and determines that it is currently under strong light based on the illumination data, it outputs a voice prompt to confirm the flip-top operation. At the same time, the voice recognition module identifies whether a confirmation voice message has been received. If a confirmation voice message is received, the central processor outputs the flip-top command to the execution module. If no confirmation voice message is received within a certain period of time, the current adjustment operation is directly exited. If the central processor determines that welding work is not in progress, it directly outputs the adjustment command to the execution module. If a closing voice command is received, the central processor directly outputs the adjustment command to the execution module.

[0018] As a further improvement of the present invention, the wireless communication module receives all adjustment commands from the wireless control terminal and directly outputs adjustment signals to the execution module. The execution module performs synchronous settings on the filter and the mask body according to the parameter information contained in the adjustment command. At the same time, the parameter status information of the filter and the mask body is displayed synchronously on the LCD screen of the wireless control terminal in real time.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by setting up a voice recognition module, it can effectively recognize people's voices, and then analyze the voices to obtain information from their internal structure. By setting up a central processor, it can execute the adjustment commands needed by users based on the information from the voices, thus achieving parameter adjustment simply and effectively. The adjustment process can be controlled by voice, which is very simple and convenient. At the same time, since the three operations of adjusting the darkness, switching the cutting mode, and flipping the cover may expose people's eyes to strong light, an external light intensity comparison function is set up. If it is determined to be in a strong light environment, confirmation information needs to be entered again before the parameter adjustment function can be executed, thus avoiding damage to people's eyes due to accidental exposure to strong light.

[0021] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the voice control process of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 2 As shown in this embodiment, a voice-controlled wirelessly connectable welding mask includes a mask body, a wireless control terminal, and a control system disposed within the mask body. The control system includes...

[0024] The speech recognition module 1 is used to receive external speech, recognize the speech information, and output adjustment commands.

[0025] The central processor 2, which contains parameter information, is connected to the voice recognition module 1. It is used to receive adjustment commands output by the voice recognition module 1, parse the adjustment commands, adjust the parameter information, and output a confirmation signal.

[0026] The execution module 3 is connected to the central processor 2 and also to the mask body. It is used to receive the determination signal output by the central processor 2 and adjust the filter or mask body according to the adjustment information in the determination signal.

[0027] The wireless communication module 4, connected to the execution module 3, is used to receive commands from the wireless control terminal and output execution signals. In the process of using the control system of this embodiment, it is only necessary to install the filter containing the control system into the mask body, and then set a microphone and speaker on the mask body and connect them to the filter. Alternatively, headphones can be used depending on the situation. In this way, when parameters need to be adjusted, people can simply speak, and the voice recognition module 1 can recognize the voice. Then, through the processing of the central processor 2 and the execution module 3, the voice adjustment of parameters can be effectively realized, greatly increasing the efficiency of parameter adjustment.

[0028] As one specific implementation of the improvement, the specific steps for the speech recognition module 1 to recognize speech information are as follows:

[0029] Step 1: Identify the heuristic statements in the speech information. If a heuristic statement is identified, proceed to the next step. If no heuristic statement is identified, discard the speech information as noise.

[0030] Step 2: Identify the category adjustment statements in the speech information and compare them with the pre-stored category statements. If the comparison is successful, continue to the next step. If the comparison fails, output the new input category adjustment speech information to the mask. Then, compare the category statements of the newly input speech information again. If the comparison is successful, continue to the next step. If the comparison fails, discard the speech information as noise.

[0031] Step 3: Identify the adjustment value statements in the voice information, and package the adjustment category and adjustment value into an adjustment command before outputting it. By setting up the above three steps, the voice information to be adjusted can be effectively identified, and interference from other sounds can be effectively reduced.

[0032] As an improved specific implementation, the filter also has a light sensor connected to the central processor 2. The light sensor detects the external light intensity and outputs the light data to the central processor 2. The central processor 2 compares the light data with the pre-stored light data to determine whether welding is currently underway. With the above settings, the light sensor can be used to detect whether welding is in progress. Furthermore, the filter also has sensitivity adjustment and delay time adjustment functions. If a sensitivity and delay time adjustment command is received, the central processor does not need to determine the light intensity and directly outputs the adjustment command to the execution module.

[0033] As an improved implementation, the adjustment command includes a darkness adjustment command and a cutting mode command. When the central processor 2 receives an adjustment command for darkness adjustment or cutting mode switching, the central processor 2 first determines whether welding work is in progress. If welding work is in progress, a voice prompt is output to confirm whether to perform the adjustment operation. If a confirmation command is received again, the adjustment command is output to the execution module 3. If no confirmation information is received within a certain period of time, the adjustment operation is terminated. If the central processor 2 determines that welding work is not in progress, the adjustment command is directly output to the execution module 3. Through the above operation, it is more convenient for people to perform corresponding voice recognition control. At the same time, it can effectively realize further judgment of darkness adjustment and cutting mode switching operations, avoiding the problem of unreasonable adjustment due to mispronunciation.

[0034] As an improved specific implementation, the mask body has a flip-top closing device, which is connected to the execution module 3. The central processor 2 first determines whether welding work is in progress. If welding work is in progress, when the central processor 2 receives the flip-top adjustment command and determines that it is currently under strong light based on the illumination data, it outputs a voice prompt to confirm the flip-top operation. At the same time, the voice recognition module identifies whether a confirmation voice message has been received. If a confirmation voice message is received, the central processor 2 outputs the flip-top command to the execution module 3. If no confirmation voice message is received within a certain period of time, the current adjustment operation is directly exited. If the central processor 2 determines that welding work is not in progress, it directly outputs the adjustment command to the execution module 3. If a closing voice command is received, the central processor 2 directly outputs the adjustment command to the execution module 3. Through the above structural settings, the voice-controlled flip-top operation can be effectively realized. At the same time, the voice message can be further judged to avoid flip-top or closing operations that do not meet the user's expectations due to mispronunciation.

[0035] As an improved implementation, the wireless communication module 4 directly outputs adjustment signals to the execution module 3 for all adjustment commands received from the wireless control terminal. The execution module 3 performs synchronous settings on the filter and mask body according to the parameter information contained in the adjustment command. At the same time, the parameter status information of the filter and mask body is displayed on the LCD screen of the wireless control terminal in real time. Through the above settings, the adjustment efficiency of the filter and mask body can be effectively increased by using the wireless control terminal for real-time adjustment.

[0036] In summary, the voice-controlled wireless welding mask of this embodiment, through the configuration of the voice recognition module 1, the central processor 2, and the execution module 3, can effectively achieve the effect of voice control or wireless terminal control parameter change.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
