[0031] Embodiment

[0032] Such as Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, a preferred embodiment of a learning machine provided by the present invention includes a housing 1 and a circuit system 2 disposed in the housing 1. The circuit system 2 includes a circuit carrier board 26; a power module 25 having a built-in power source or an external power conversion circuit; a control module 21 adapted to control the circuit system 2; an input module 22, one end of which is exposed on the outer wall of the housing 1, including a plurality of input keys, adapted to input information to the control module 21; an output module 23, the control module 21 causes the output module 23 to perform corresponding information display and / or voice broadcast according to the built-in program, or the control module 21 causes the output module 23 to perform corresponding information display and / or voice broadcast according to the information of the input module 22; a guiding module 24, including a plurality of lighting units, arranged corresponding to the plurality of input keys, and the lighting units can emit guiding lights at corresponding positions of the input module 22 according to the instructions of the control module 21, thereby guiding the user to operate the input module 22. For example, in the study of pinyin or English words, the control module 21 causes the output module 23 to display the pinyin or word to be learned, or causes the output module 23 to read out the pinyin or word to be learned, and then the control module 21 causes the guiding module 24 to emit guiding lights in sequence according to the alphabetical order of the pinyin or word to be learned, guiding the user to press the letters in sequence for spelling. Thus, the difficulty of getting started with learning can be greatly reduced, and the interaction and interest between the learning machine and the user can be enhanced, greatly improving the learning efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, the power module 25 integrates a built-in power source, the input module 22 is an input keyboard, the output module 23 includes a display screen and a voice playback unit, and the lighting units are distributed corresponding to the input keyboard. This is taken as an example for illustrative explanation.

[0034] Specifically, the lighting unit can be set in one of the following three ways: First, the lighting unit is located below the input key, there is a gap between the input key and the housing 1, or at least part of the input key is made of a light-transmitting material, suitable for the above-mentioned guiding light to be revealed to the outside and observed by the user; Second, the lighting unit is arranged adjacent to the input key and partially exposed on the outer wall of the housing 1; Third, the lighting unit is embedded in the outer wall of the input key.

In this embodiment, the key body 2210 is made of a light-transmitting material and has elasticity itself. After releasing the key body 2210, it is reset by its own elasticity; the key plate 222 is integrally provided with the circuit carrier board 26 and is located on the back of the circuit carrier board 26. In some other embodiments, the structure of a traditional key can be adopted, with a hard key cap cooperating with a reset elastic member, such as a spring or a shrapnel, to achieve the reset of the key body 2210.

[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, since the lighting unit is provided below the key body 2210, an avoidance groove 2211 is provided on one side of the key body 2210 close to the lighting unit, which is suitable for avoiding the lighting unit.

Preferably, a number of through holes adapted to the shape of the key bodies 2210 are provided on the front shell 11, and the tops of the key bodies 2210 are exposed above the front shell 11, which is convenient for operating the keys. Also, the grid formed by the through holes can better limit the sheet-like key bodies 2210.

[0040] The circuit carrier board 26 is suitable for loading the remaining functional parts, including single-chip, multi-chip split, etc., which are adaptively adjusted according to the shape of the housing 1 or for convenient assembly to implement the functions of this solution. The control module 21 can mainly be composed of a microcontroller chip with a built-in memory or a combination of microcontroller chips with external peripheral memories; the power supply module 25 is suitable for powering the overall circuit system 2, which can be an internal rechargeable battery, or a battery slot can be provided, or an external DC power supply can be connected, or an external transformer can be connected and then connected to household electricity; in this embodiment, no limitation is imposed on this.

[0041] Furthermore, it further includes a main light switch 27, which is connected to the control module 21 and is suitable for customizing the working mode of the guiding module 24. For example, it can turn on or off the guiding light emitted by the guiding module 24, or change the flashing frequency of the guiding light, corresponding to different learning modes. Or, it can make the guiding module 24 emit guiding lights of different colors to correspond to the preferences of different users. In this embodiment, the main light switch 27 is arranged at the right edge of the housing 1.

[0042] In this embodiment, preferably, the lighting unit can emit lights of multiple colors, thus enriching the working mode of the guiding module 24 and personalized selection.

[0043] To facilitate grasping the learning machine, it further includes a handle 3, which is connected to one side of the housing 1.

[0044] The housing 1 includes a front shell 11, a bottom tray 12, and / or a flip cover 13; the front shell 11 and the bottom tray 12 are assembled and an installation space is formed between them, and the flip cover 13 is rotatably connected to the front shell 11 or the bottom tray 12; a first tooth groove 111 is provided on the front shell 11, and a second tooth groove is provided on the bottom tray 12. Cooperating with the first tooth groove 111, the two are spliced to form an installation hole; the handle 3 includes a handle part 31 and a limiting part 32 connected to one end of the handle part 31. The handle part 31 passes through the installation hole, and the limiting part 32 is suitable for restricting the handle part 31 from coming out of the installation hole. In this embodiment, preferably, the housing 1 includes a front shell 11, a bottom tray 12, and a flip cover 13. The flip cover 13 is rotatably connected to the front shell 11, and the bottom tray 12 is located on the side of the front shell 11 opposite to the flip cover 13; the display screen of the output module 23 is installed on the flip cover 13, on the side close to the front shell 11; the voice broadcast unit is arranged on the front shell 11, on the side facing the flip cover 13, and both the display screen and the voice broadcast unit are electrically connected to the control module 21; the handle 3 is located at one end of the housing 1 close to the user.

[0045] At one end of the limiting part 32 facing away from the handle part 31, a limiting plate 321 extends; the limiting plate 321 cooperates with the circuit carrier board 26 to jointly limit the shaking of the handle member 3. In this embodiment, the circuit carrier board 26 is fixed on the front shell 11 by screws; the handle part 31 is already limited to a certain extent in the mounting hole; further, due to the planar limiting effect between the limiting plate 321 and the circuit carrier board 26, the shaking of the handle part 31 is reduced, thereby improving the product texture. Optionally, the limiting plate 321, the circuit carrier board 26, and the front shell 11 are fixed together by screws.
