[0040] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 As shown, the center of the driven gear 13 is provided with a through hole 131 with the same cross-sectional size as the transmission part 121, and the driven gear 13 is sleeved on the transmission part 121 through the through hole 131. The driven gear 13 is meshingly connected with the driving gear 30, and the driving gear 30 can drive the driven gear 13 to rotate, and the driven gear 13 can drive the entire transmission shaft 12 to rotate through the transmission part 121.
[0041] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 As shown, the center of the ratchet 14 is provided with a receiving groove 146, and the receiving groove 146 is provided with a pawl 15 drivingly connected with the ratchet 14 and the transmission shaft 12. The edge of the ratchet 14 is provided with a first protrusion 141, a second protrusion 142 corresponding to the first protrusion 141, and a first recess 143 and a second recess 144 between the first protrusion 141 and the second protrusion 142. The angle of the first protrusion 141 corresponding to the central angle of the ratchet 14 is 45°, the angle of the first recess 143 corresponding to the central angle of the ratchet 14 is 135°, the angle of the second protrusion 142 corresponding to the central angle of the ratchet 14 is 135°, and the angle of the second recess 144 corresponding to the central angle of the ratchet 14 is 45°.
[0042] The circumferential side wall of the ratchet wheel 14 is also uniformly provided with eight directional grooves 145, the eight directional grooves 145 are at the same distance from the center of the ratchet wheel 14, and the two sides of the directional groove 145 are respectively the abutting surface 1451 and the sliding surface 1452. Specifically, one directional groove 145 is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the first convex part 141, three directional grooves 145 are arranged on the circumferential side wall of the second convex part 142, three directional grooves 145 are arranged on the circumferential side wall of the first concave part 143, and one directional groove 145 is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the second concave part 144. The edge of the accommodation groove 146 is provided with a plurality of ratchet grooves 1461 in communication with the accommodation groove 146, and the plurality of ratchet grooves 1461 are continuously arranged around the accommodation groove 146. The two side walls of the ratchet groove 1461 are respectively the first sliding surface 1463 and the first pushing surface 1462.
[0043] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the pawl 15 is centrally provided with a through hole 151 with the same cross-sectional size as the transmission part 121, and the edge of the pawl 15 is provided with a ratchet tooth 152 corresponding to the plurality of ratchet grooves 1461. The side wall of the ratchet tooth 152 includes the second sliding surface 154 corresponding to the first sliding surface 1463 and the second pushing surface 153 corresponding to the first pushing surface 1462. The ratchet tooth 152 is made of elastic material. The pawl 15 is sleeved on the transmission part 121 through the through hole 151, and the transmission part 121 can drive the pawl 15 to rotate in the accommodation groove 146.
[0044] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 As shown, the first ratchet wheel assembly 10 further includes an elastic member 16, one end of the elastic member 16 is installed in the accommodation groove 112, and the other end of the elastic member 16 extends into the installation groove 111 and the directional groove 145 and is parallel to the sliding surface 1452. When the ratchet wheel 14 rotates clockwise, the sliding surface 1452 can push the end of the elastic member 16 to make the end of the elastic member 16 away from the directional groove 145, and as the ratchet wheel 14 continues to rotate clockwise, the end of the elastic member 16 enters the next directional groove 145. When the ratchet wheel 14 has a counterclockwise rotation trend, the abutting surface 1451 abuts against the end of the elastic member 16, so that the ratchet wheel 14 cannot rotate counterclockwise. In this embodiment, the elastic member 16 is a torsion spring, and in other embodiments, the elastic member 16 can also be a spring piece.
[0045] In combination with Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the driving gear 30 rotates counterclockwise relative to the first ratchet assembly 10, the driven gear 13 rotates clockwise. The driven gear 13 drives the pawl 15 to rotate clockwise through the transmission part 121. The second pushing surface 153 of the ratchet tooth 152 abuts against the first pushing surface 1462 of the ratchet groove 1461, and the pawl 15 drives the ratchet wheel 14 to rotate clockwise about the rotation part 122. At this time, the first ratchet assembly 10 is in a rotating state.
[0046] When the driving gear 30 rotates clockwise relative to the first ratchet assembly 10, the driven gear 13 rotates counterclockwise. The driven gear 13 drives the pawl 15 to rotate counterclockwise through the transmission part 121. The second sliding surface 154 of the ratchet tooth 152 abuts against the first sliding surface 1463 of the ratchet groove 1461, so that the ratchet wheel 14 has a tendency to rotate counterclockwise. Since the abutting surface 1451 of the directional groove 145 abuts against the end of the elastic member 16, the ratchet wheel 14 cannot rotate counterclockwise. As the pawl 15 continues to rotate counterclockwise, the ratchet tooth 152 slides along the first sliding surface 1463 and elastically deforms, and the ratchet tooth 152 restores to its original shape after leaving the ratchet groove 1461 and enters the next ratchet groove 1461. At this time, the first ratchet assembly 10 is in a locked state.
[0047] In combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, since the first ratchet assembly 10 and the second ratchet assembly 20 are oppositely arranged, and the first ratchet assembly 10 and the second ratchet assembly 20 have the same structure. Therefore, the driving gear 30 can simultaneously engage and drive the driven gears 13 in the first ratchet assembly 10 and the second ratchet assembly 20, so as to realize that the driving gear 30 drives the first ratchet assembly 10 and the second ratchet assembly 20 in sequence. When the driving gear 30 rotates clockwise relative to the first ratchet assembly 10, the first ratchet assembly 10 is in a locked state, and the second ratchet assembly 20 is in a rotating state; when the driving gear 30 rotates counterclockwise relative to the first ratchet assembly 10, the first ratchet assembly 10 is in a rotating state, and the second ratchet assembly 20 is in a locked state.
[0048] Reference Figures 2-6As shown, in some embodiments, the point display assembly 40 comprises a point display base 41, a first point display member 42 and a second point display member 43 installed in the point display base 41. The point display base 41 is provided with second guide holes 411 in communication with the first guide holes 113, and the second guide holes 411 are provided with abutting portions 412 therein, and the second guide holes 411 are coaxial with the first guide holes 113. The second guide holes 411 are arranged in a 2x3 matrix, thereby forming a Braille character area. The three second guide holes 411 on the same side of the first ratchet assembly 10 form a first guide hole group, and the three second guide holes 411 are respectively in communication with the three first guide holes 113 on the first ratchet assembly 10. The three second guide holes 411 on the same side of the second ratchet assembly 20 form a second guide hole group, and the three second guide holes 411 are respectively in communication with the three first guide holes 113 on the second ratchet assembly 20.
[0049] In some embodiments, the point display assembly 40 is combined with the first ratchet assembly 10 and the second ratchet assembly 20. Figures 4-6 As shown, the first point display member 42 and the second point display member 43 are provided with protrusions 421, and the first point display member 42 and the second point display member 43 are further provided with springs 422. The lower end of the spring 422 abuts against the protrusion 421, and the upper end of the spring 422 abuts against the abutting portion 412. The length of the second point display member 43 is greater than the length of the first point display member 42, and the first point display member 42 and the second point display member 43 are inserted into the second guide hole 411, and the lower end of the first point display member 42 and the second point display member 43 passes through the first guide hole 113 and extends into the installation groove 111 and abuts against the circumferential side wall of the ratchet 14. In the first guide hole group, the second point display member 43 is provided with two, and the two second point display members 43 are respectively located in the second guide holes 411 at the ends of the first guide hole group; the first point display member 42 is provided with one, and the first point display member 42 is located in the second guide hole 411 in the middle of the first guide hole group. The arrangement of the first point display member 42 and the second point display member 43 in the second guide hole group is the same as that of the first point display member 42 and the second point display member 43 in the first guide hole group.
[0050] Reference is made to Figures 6-13As shown, when the lower end of the first pointer 42 and / or the second pointer 43 abuts against the first recess 143 and / or the second recess 144, the upper end of the first pointer 42 and / or the second pointer 43 is flush with the upper surface of the pointing seat 41, and the spring 422 is in a compressed state or an original length state; when the upper end of the first pointer 42 and / or the second pointer 43 abuts against the first protrusion 141 and / or the second protrusion 142, the upper end of the first pointer 42 and / or the second pointer 43 protrudes from the upper surface of the pointing seat 41, and the spring 422 is in a compressed state. In some embodiments, the first protrusion 141, the second protrusion 142, the first recess 143, and the second recess 144 are arc-shaped transitions, so as to facilitate the lower end of the first pointer 42 or the second pointer 42 to slide on the circumferential side wall of the ratchet wheel 14.
[0051] The state in which the upper end of the first pointer 42 or the second pointer 43 protrudes from the upper surface of the pointing seat 41 is defined as 1, and the state in which the upper end of the first pointer 42 or the second pointer 43 is flush with the upper surface of the pointing seat 41 is defined as 0. Therefore, the state of one ratchet wheel 14 can be represented according to the states of one first pointer 42 and two second pointers 43 abutting against it.
[0052] In one embodiment, the first protrusion 141 and the second protrusion 142 are arranged on the circumferential side wall of the ratchet wheel 14, and the first recess 143 and the second recess 144 are arranged on the upper surface of the pointing seat 41. Figure 7 As shown, for the ratchet wheel 14 in the first ratchet wheel assembly 10, the first protrusion 141 abuts against the lower end of the first pointer 42, and the first pointer 42 protrudes from the upper surface of the pointing seat 41, with a state code of 1; the lower end of the second pointer 43 on the left side of the first pointer 42 is located in the second recess 144, and the upper end of the second pointer 43 on the left side of the first pointer 42 is flush with the upper surface of the pointing seat 41, with a state code of 0; and the lower end of the second pointer 43 on the right side of the first pointer 42 is located in the second recess 144, and the upper end of the second pointer 43 on the right side of the first pointer 42 is flush with the upper surface of the pointing seat 41, with a state code of 0. At this time, the state code corresponding to the ratchet wheel 14 is 001.
[0053] In one embodiment, the first protrusion 141 and the second protrusion 142 are arranged on the circumferential side wall of the ratchet wheel 14, and the first recess 143 and the second recess 144 are arranged on the upper surface of the pointing seat 41. Figure 9 As shown, for the ratchet wheel 14 in the first ratchet wheel assembly 10, the lower end of the first pointer 42 and the second pointer 43 on the left side of the first pointer 42 both abut against the second protrusion 142, and the first pointer 42 and the second pointer 43 on the left side of the first pointer 42 protrude from the upper surface of the pointing seat 41, with state codes of 1; the lower end of the second pointer 43 on the right side of the first pointer 42 is located in the second recess 144, and the upper end of the second pointer 43 on the right side of the first pointer 42 is flush with the upper surface of the pointing seat 41, with a state code of 0. At this time, the state code corresponding to the ratchet wheel 14 is 110.
[0054] Similarly, the ratchet 14 in the first ratchet assembly 10 has 8 different states, and the ratchet 14 in the second ratchet assembly 20 also has the same 8 states. It can be understood that the two ratchets 14 in the Braille point display 100 have a total of 64 combined states, which can meet the display needs of Braille characters. The 8 states of the two ratchets 14 are encoded in binary form, and the rotation direction of the driving gear 30 can also be encoded in binary form, so as to facilitate the processing of the central processing unit. In combination with Figures 6-13 As shown in Table 1 below, the 8 states of the ratchet 14 and the corresponding codes are shown.
[0055] Table 1, 8 states of the ratchet 14 and the corresponding codes
[0056] State One State Two State Three State Four State Five State Six State Seven State Eight 100 010 101 110 111 011 001 000
[0057] In summary, the working process of the Braille point display 100 and the Braille reading device provided by the present application is as follows: the central processing unit converts the text information stored in the memory into Braille code information and an electrical signal, and the driving assembly first drives the driving gear 30 to rotate counterclockwise relative to the first ratchet assembly 10 according to the electrical signal, the driven gear 13 in the first ratchet assembly 10 rotates clockwise, the first ratchet assembly 10 is in a rotating state, and the second ratchet assembly 20 is in a locked state. When the ratchet 14 in the first ratchet assembly 10 rotates to the target state, the first point display piece 42 and the second point display piece 43 corresponding to the first ratchet assembly 10 protrude from or are flush with the upper surface of the point display seat 41. At this time, the Braille point display 100 protrudes to display half of a Braille character.
[0058] The driving assembly then drives the driving gear 30 to rotate clockwise relative to the first ratchet assembly 10 according to the electrical signal, the first ratchet assembly 10 is in a locked state, and the second ratchet assembly 20 is in a rotating state. When the ratchet 14 in the second ratchet assembly 20 rotates to the target state, the first point display piece 42 and the second point display piece 43 corresponding to the second ratchet assembly 20 protrude from or are flush with the upper surface of the point display seat 41. At this time, the Braille point display 100 protrudes to display the entire Braille character, and the blind person can read the Braille character by touching.
