[0003] According to current technology, listening training is a very important learning method when using English learning machines. During training, bone conduction headphones are used to facilitate learning for people with hearing impairments. As hearing loss becomes more severe and lasts longer, the function of the auditory nerve will deteriorate, and the brain's ability to analyze sound will also decline. In the absence of other assistive hearing devices, it is easy to have problems distinguishing bass frequencies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the English hearing impairment assistive training device includes a main body and a prompting device. A touch screen is fixedly connected inside the main body, and two speakers are fixedly connected inside the main body. The prompting device is located on one side of the main body and includes a chassis located on one side of the main body. A rotating block is rotatably connected inside the chassis.

[0007] The bottom of the chassis is provided with an anti-slip device, which includes an anti-slip sleeve fixedly connected to the bottom of the chassis. The anti-slip sleeve is used to increase the friction of the chassis.
[0008] In the above technical solution, a fixing frame is fixedly connected inside the protective cover, and a vibration motor is fixedly connected inside the fixing frame.

Wires are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two light strips. A placement slot is opened on the surface of the protective cover. A through hole is opened on the surface of the protective cover. The wires are inserted into the inner wall of the placement slot and the through hole of the protective cover. A mounting bolt is threadedly connected to the inside of the rotating block and the protective cover. A wire groove is opened on the surface of the rotating block. The power cord is inserted into the wire groove of the rotating block. A movable groove is opened on the upper surface of the chassis. The rotating block and the movable groove of the chassis are rotatably connected.
[0009] Secondly, a transparent strip is fixedly connected to the surface of the rubber sleeve, two elastic strips are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rubber sleeve, two retaining rings are fixedly connected to the surface of the protective cover, and a through groove is opened on the surface of the elastic strip, with the retaining rings inserted into the through groove of the elastic strip.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0013] This English hearing impairment assistive training device integrates multimodal functions and a structured design. In terms of information transmission, the device uses a built-in speaker as the auditory foundation, combined with red and green dual-color light strips inside the shield (fixed by slots and flexibly replaceable) to transform abstract differences in English pronunciation such as stress and bass into intuitive visual signals. This is further combined with a vibration motor connected to the mounting frame (controlled synchronously with the device via a microcontroller) that outputs tactile vibrations at corresponding frequencies, forming a triple information transmission mechanism of hearing, vision, and touch.

[0024] The technical solutions of this invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0025] The more severe and longer the hearing loss, the worse the function of the auditory nerve will be, and the brain's ability to analyze sound will also decrease; in the absence of other hearing aids, it is easy to have the problem of not being able to distinguish deep bass.
[0026] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an assistive training device for English hearing impairment, with reference to... Figure 1-3 As shown, the device includes a body 1 and a prompting device 4. A touch screen 2 is fixedly connected inside the body 1, and two speakers 3 are fixedly connected inside the body 1. The prompting device 4 is located on one side of the body 1 and includes a chassis 401 located on one side of the body 1. A rotating block 402 is rotatably connected inside the chassis 401. Through the rotational cooperation between the chassis 401 and the rotating block 402, the user can flexibly adjust the tilt angle and orientation of the rear protective cover 403 according to the training posture (such as placing it on a table when sitting or holding it when standing) to ensure that the visual signal of the light strip 404 can fall within the user's observation range.
[0027] A protective cover 403 is inserted inside the upper end of the rotating block 402. Two light strips 404 are inserted inside the protective cover 403. The two light strips 404 have red and green LED beads inside, respectively. The red and green LED beads can correspond to different phonetic features in English listening (such as red indicating stressed syllables and green indicating low syllables, or marking the intonation differences of declarative sentences and interrogative sentences respectively), transforming abstract sound into intuitive visual signals and helping users to visually fill in the details missing from hearing.
[0028] The protective cover 403 is internally fixedly connected to a mounting bracket 411, and the mounting bracket 411 is internally fixedly connected to a vibration motor 412. The surface of the light strip 404 and the vibration motor 412 is equipped with a microcontroller. The microcontroller is electrically connected to the body 1. The mounting bracket 411 ensures that the vibration motor 412 does not shift during operation, preventing components from loosening due to vibration. The electrical connection between the microcontroller and the body 1 enables synchronous control of the speaker 3, the light strip 404, and the vibration motor 412. For example, when a stressed syllable appears in English listening comprehension, the red light strip 404 lights up while the vibration motor 412 intensifies its vibration; when a low syllable appears, the green light strip 404 lights up and its vibration weakens. The three work together to output consistent information, avoiding training deviations caused by information transmission delays.
[0029] A slot 405 is provided on the surface of the cover 403 near the light strip 404. The light strip 404 is inserted into the slot 405 of the cover 403. The structure of the slot 405 can make the light strip 404 securely installed and not easy to fall off. Wires 406 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two light strips 404. A placement slot 407 and a through hole 408 are provided on the surface of the cover 403. The wires 406 are inserted into the inner wall of the placement slot 407 and the through hole 408 of the cover 403. The placement slot 407 and the through hole 408 can organize the routing of the wires 406, avoid the wires 406 being exposed to ensure the electrical safety of the equipment, and also make the appearance of the cover 403 more concise. The rotating block 402 and the internal thread of the cover 403 are connected by a mounting bolt 409. The detachable design of the mounting bolt 409 makes it convenient for users to replace the cover 403 of different sizes and materials according to their needs.
[0030] The surface of the rotating block 402 is provided with a wire groove 410, and a power cord is inserted inside the wire groove 410. The wire groove 410 isolates the power cord from the rotating structure of the rotating block 402, preventing the power cord from being squeezed or twisted when the rotating block 402 rotates, thus ensuring stable power supply to the equipment. The upper surface of the chassis 401 is provided with a movable groove 413, and the rotating block 402 and the movable groove 413 of the chassis 401 are rotatably connected. By setting the movable groove 413, the rotating block 402 can easily rotate inside the chassis 401.
[0031] refer to Figure 4-5 As shown, the surface of the protective cover 403 is provided with a comfort device, which includes a rubber sleeve 51 that is fitted onto the surface of the protective cover 403. The rubber sleeve 51 is made of a flexible material, which effectively cushions the pressure of the hard shell of the protective cover 403 on the skin when it comes into direct contact with the user's hand or body. At the same time, the anti-slip properties of the rubber material can increase the friction between the user's hand and the protective cover 403. A transparent strip 52 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rubber sleeve 51. The transparent strip 52 covers the area of the protective cover 403 corresponding to the light strip 404. Without blocking the red and green light of the light strip 404, it forms physical protection for the light strip 404 and prevents the user from accidentally touching the light strip 404 with their fingers.
[0032] Two elastic bands 53 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rubber sleeve 51, and two retaining rings 54 are fixedly connected to the surface of the cover 403. The surface of the elastic band 53 is provided with a through groove 55, and the retaining rings 54 are inserted into the through groove 55 of the elastic band 53. The through groove 55 on the surface of the elastic band 53 can be used to conveniently store the retaining rings 54. The setting of the elastic band 53 and the retaining rings 54 can fix the position of the rubber sleeve 51, and can also facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the rubber sleeve 51 to a certain extent.
[0033] refer to Figure 6-8 As shown, the bottom of the chassis 401 is provided with an anti-slip device 6. The anti-slip device 6 includes an anti-slip sleeve 61 fixedly connected to the bottom of the chassis 401. The anti-slip sleeve 61 is a silicone sleeve. The anti-slip sleeve 61 is made of silicone material with a high coefficient of friction. When in direct contact with the table, the rough texture of the material itself increases the friction between the chassis 401 and the contact surface, which can effectively prevent the equipment from sliding when there is slight vibration or accidental contact. A conveying pipe 62 is fixedly connected inside the anti-slip sleeve 61. An air bag 63 is fixedly connected to the surface of the conveying pipe 62. An exhaust pipe 65 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the air bag 63. A one-way valve 64 is fixedly connected to the surface of the conveying pipe 62.
[0034] When the anti-slip sleeve 61 is attached to the tabletop, pressing the airbag 63 allows the airbag 63 to draw out the air from the anti-slip sleeve 61 through the delivery tube 62. The one-way valve 64 can reduce gas backflow, while the exhaust pipe 65 can easily expel the air, allowing the anti-slip sleeve 61 to be fixed to the tabletop relatively stably by adsorption. The exhaust pipe 65 is equipped with a sealing plug 66, which can seal the exhaust pipe 65 when the airbag 63 is not in use, reducing the entry of impurities into the airbag 63. The side wall of the airbag 63 is bonded to the surface of the anti-slip sleeve 61, and the airbag 63 can be fixed to the side wall of the top plate by the bonding method.
[0035] refer to Figure 8 As shown, the surfaces of the chassis 401 and the rotating block 402 are provided with elastic components 7. The elastic components 7 include multiple fixing blocks 71. The upper surfaces of the multiple fixing blocks 71 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating block 402. Multiple connecting blocks 72 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the chassis 401. Springs 73 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of the fixing blocks 71 and the connecting blocks 72.
[0036] When the rotating block 402 rotates, it will drive the fixed block 71 to move. The fixed block 71 drives the spring 73 to stretch or contract. When the user releases the entire device, the spring 73 rebounds and drives the rotating block 402 to rotate back to its original position. By setting the spring 73, the position of the rotating block 402 can be restricted to a certain extent.
[0037] Working principle of the invention: When placed on a desktop, the anti-slip device 6 at the bottom of the chassis 401 is activated. The anti-slip sleeve 61 initially adheres to the desktop through high-friction silicone material. The user presses the airbag 63, causing the airbag 63 to draw air out of the anti-slip sleeve 61 through the delivery pipe 62 (one-way valve 64 prevents gas backflow), forming a negative pressure adsorption effect. After the exhaust is completed, the sealing plug 66 is inserted into the exhaust pipe 65 to prevent other impurities from entering the airbag 63. After the device is powered on, the power cord is neatly stored through the wire groove 410 on the surface of the rotating block 402, and the microcontroller establishes an electrical connection with the body 1.
[0038] Rotating the rotating block 402 via the movable slot 413 of the chassis 401 causes the upper-mounted protective cover 403 to rotate synchronously until the light strip 404 of the protective cover 403 falls into the user's visual observation range. During this process, the elastic components 7 on the surface of the chassis 401 and the rotating block 402 work synchronously. When the rotating block 402 rotates, it causes the fixed block 71 to move. The fixed block 71 pulls or compresses the spring 73 connected to the connecting block 72.
[0039] Users can select English listening training content through the touch screen 2 of the device 1 and set multimodal output parameters according to their own hearing impairment level. If users need to distinguish between English accents and bass, they can specify that the red light strip 404 corresponds to accents and the green light strip 404 corresponds to bass in the settings interface, or customize the vibration motor 412 to vibrate strongly when the accent is loud and weakly when the bass is soft. The microcontroller records the parameter settings and synchronizes them to the light strip 404 and the vibration motor 412.
[0040] When a user starts listening training, the microcontroller receives the speech feature signals of the listening material in real time (such as stressed syllables, low syllables, and intonation changes), and simultaneously sends control commands to the LED strip 404 and the vibration motor 412. When an English stress is detected, the microcontroller drives the red LED strip 404 in the slot 405 of the cover 403 to light up (the slot 405 ensures that the LED strip 404 is fixed in position and avoids the light from shifting). At the same time, it controls the vibration motor 412 in the fixing bracket 411 to increase the vibration (the fixing bracket 411 prevents the motor from shifting due to vibration). When a low English tone or a specific intonation (such as a rising intonation at the end of an interrogative sentence) is detected, the microcontroller drives the green LED strip 404 to light up, and at the same time controls the vibration motor 412 to reduce the vibration. Throughout the process, the wires 406 of the LED strip 404 are neatly stored through the placement slots 407 and through holes 408 of the cover 403 to avoid signal transmission interruption caused by the wires 406 getting tangled.
[0041] During training, the transparent strip 52 on the surface of the cover 403 prevents accidental contact with the light strip 404 and avoids wear without obstructing it. If the rubber sleeve 51 becomes dirty or worn, the user can disconnect the elastic band 53 from the retaining ring 54 and remove the rubber sleeve 51 separately for cleaning or replacement without disassembling the main body of the cover 403, thus reducing maintenance difficulty. If the light strip 404 needs to be replaced (e.g., if the LED is damaged), the mounting bolt 409 between the rotating block 402 and the cover 403 can be unscrewed, the cover 403 can be removed, and the old light strip 404 can be pulled out from the slot 405. After replacing the old light strip 404, it can be re-secured.
