Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of language translation technology, specifically a language environment maker. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of globalization, the importance of foreign language communication skills in daily life and work is becoming increasingly prominent. For most people, learning a foreign language, especially improving their listening and speaking abilities, is a huge challenge.

[0003] Traditional foreign language learning methods mainly involve classroom teaching, language exchange, or self-study. Taking English teaching as an example, parents may not have sufficient language skills or time to create a continuous language environment for their children. Hiring foreign tutors or attending foreign language training classes is costly and often limited by factors such as time and location, making it particularly difficult to create an English communication environment at home.

[0004] Despite guidance from foreign language teachers in the school education environment, students still lack real-world practice in foreign language communication. This is especially true at various stages, including kindergarten, primary school, middle school, and university, where students often only engage in simulated conversations in the classroom, making it difficult to truly improve their practical foreign language application skills.

[0005] While traditional foreign language learning methods can improve foreign language skills to some extent, the learning process is limited to a specific time frame, and the content is confined to textbooks. Classroom teaching and similar methods cannot create a genuine and natural foreign language communication environment, nor can they provide long-term and comprehensive training to improve learners' foreign language abilities.

[0006] When it comes to foreign language learning, being in a language-speaking environment, communicating with those around you in that language, and hearing only that language will continuously improve your listening and speaking skills through long-term use in real life. Creating an environment where you can communicate entirely in that language is essential to truly helping people improve their listening and speaking abilities. Utility Model Content

[0041] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0042] While traditional foreign language learning methods can improve foreign language skills to some extent, the learning process is limited to a specific time frame and the content is confined to textbooks. Classroom teaching and similar methods cannot create a genuine and natural foreign language communication environment, nor can they provide long-term and comprehensive training to improve learners' foreign language abilities.

[0043] To address the aforementioned technical issues, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a language environment maker, including a translation device 1 and a noise reduction device 2.

[0044] Reference Figure 10 The translation device 1 includes a housing 11, a speaker is provided inside the housing 11, and a speaker hole 12 is provided on the housing 11.

[0045] When a user wears the noise-canceling device to communicate, the noise-canceling device 2 can be worn around the user's mouth. When the user speaks, the microphone captures the user's original voice and sends the captured original voice to the translation device. The target language to be translated into can be pre-selected on the translation device. After the translation device receives the original voice, it translates the original voice into the target language, and the speaker plays the target language sound out from the speaker hole 12.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The silencing device 2 includes a front shell 21 and a rear shell 24, which are combined to form a mask-shaped structure. A recessed silencing shell 27 is disposed inside the front shell 21, and a microphone is installed at the bottom of the silencing shell 27. The bottom and sides of the inner cavity of the silencing shell 27 are covered with sound-absorbing cotton. A silencing box 22 is disposed between the front shell 21 and the rear shell 24, and a silencing shell exhaust pipe 28 connects the silencing shell 27 and the silencing box 22.

[0047] Inside the sound-absorbing shell 27, the original sound emitted by the user when speaking is gradually reduced as it passes through the sound-absorbing cotton, thus achieving sound attenuation. Furthermore, the sound-absorbing cotton is highly elastic, reducing vibrations caused by sound while simultaneously absorbing noise. Currently, 3mm thick EVA cotton is used for the sound absorption.

[0048] After the original sound comes out of the muffler shell 27, it enters the interior of the muffler box 22 along the muffler shell exhaust pipe 28. The original sound is canceled out by reciprocating vibration inside the muffler box 22, and the original sound is muffled again.

[0049] The original sound is initially silenced by the sound-absorbing shell 27 and the built-in sound-absorbing cotton. Then, the sound-absorbing box 22 silences the sound again to minimize the original sound and reduce the possibility of the original sound spreading.

[0050] When multiple users are communicating while wearing the noise-canceling device 2, the original sound they make is muted, and only the sound of the target language translated by the translation device 1 is played out. In the surrounding environment, only the sound of the people communicating with each other in the target language can be heard, thus creating an environment where communication is entirely in the target language.

[0051] Users can use the noise reduction device 2 in work and life scenarios to communicate in the selected target language, so as to create an environment in the target language in work and life. In such a language environment, users hear only the speech of the selected target language. In a pure target language environment, it helps users improve their learning effect of the target language.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The silencer box 22 includes an outer shell 222, which is rectangular and has an internal cavity. The outer shell 222 is fixed to the front shell 21. An air inlet 221 is provided on one side wall of the outer shell 222 near the end, and an air outlet 223 is provided on the other side wall of the outer shell 222 near the end.

[0053] One end of the muffler exhaust pipe 28 is installed inside the air inlet 221, and the other end is fixed to the muffler 27. When a user speaks into the muffler 27, the airflow generated by the sound is partially eliminated as it passes through the sound-absorbing cotton inside the muffler 27. The original sound then propagates along the muffler exhaust pipe 28 to the interior of the outer shell 222. During this propagation, the airflow touches the inner walls on both sides of the outer shell 222, generating reciprocating vibrations to cancel out the sound, thus further silencing it. Finally, the airflow is discharged from the air outlet 223.

[0054] Reference Figure 7 The number of muffler boxes 22 is multiple; in this embodiment, there are two muffler boxes 22. The first muffler box 22 is connected to the exhaust pipe 28 of the muffler shell via an air inlet 221, and the other muffler box 22 is arranged parallel to the rear of the first muffler box 22.

[0055] The original sound first enters the first silencer box 22, where it is silenced. After being silenced there, it exits through the vent 223 of the first silencer box 22 and then enters the adjacent silencer box 22 for further silencing before exiting through the vent 223. By using multiple silencer boxes 22, the original sound is silenced in stages, improving the overall silencing effect.

[0056] Reference Figure 7 A muffler exhaust hole 23 is provided inside the front shell 21. The air outlet 223 of the last muffler box 22 is aligned with the muffler exhaust hole 23. The airflow discharged from the air outlet 223 is discharged from the muffler exhaust hole 23 to ensure smooth airflow.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 A connector 26 is provided on the front shell 21, surrounding the entrance of the sound-absorbing shell 27. The connector 26 is a thin sheet that can be attached to the front shell 21. A skin-friendly sound-absorbing pad 29 can be attached to the connector 26 and connected to the front shell 21 through the connector 26.

[0058] When in use, the surface of the skin-friendly sound-absorbing pad 29 is curved, and the shape of the skin-friendly sound-absorbing pad 29 is curved with the shape of the front shell 21 to fit tightly to the outer periphery of the user's mouth, so as to reduce sound leakage and improve the sound insulation effect.

[0059] Reference Figure 4 The noise-canceling device 2 is provided with a first audio connection hole 25, and the translation device 1 is provided with a second audio connection hole 16. The two ends of the audio connection cable are respectively connected to the first audio connection hole 25 and the second audio connection hole 16. When the user wears the noise-canceling device 2 around their mouth, the microphone inside the noise-canceling device 2 captures the user's speech and transmits the captured speech from the noise-canceling device 2 to the translation device 1. The translation device 1 then synchronously translates the captured speech into the target language.

[0060] The translation device 1 can be implemented using iFlytek's artificial intelligence speech translation technology, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0061] Reference Figure 5 A microphone fixing tube 210 is provided inside the sound-absorbing shell 27, which is used to fix the microphone. A strap hole 211 is provided at the end of the front shell 21, and a strap is attached to the strap hole 211. The sound-absorbing device 2 can be attached to the user's head with the strap, so that the sound-absorbing shell 27 is aligned with the user's mouth, so that the microphone can easily pick up the user's voice. At the same time, the sound-absorbing device 2 can easily mute the user's voice.

[0062] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 12 A main button 13 and a screen 14 are provided at one end of the housing 11 of the translation device 1. The screen 14 is used to display the status information of the translation device 1. In use, the main button 13 is used to return to the main screen interface and to turn the screen on or off.

[0063] Reference Figure 13 The outer casing 11 is provided with a charging hole 15 and a power button 17. The charging hole 15 is used to charge the translation device 1, and the power button 17 is used to turn the translation device 1 on or off.

[0064] The outer shell 11 is a curved structure that allows it to be conveniently hung around the user's neck.

[0065] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 The skin-friendly sound-absorbing pad 29 has a first bonding surface 291 and a second bonding surface 293 on its two sides. The first bonding surface 291 is used to adhere to the connector 26, and the second bonding surface 293 is used to fit around the user's mouth. A sound-absorbing cavity 292 is formed inside the skin-friendly sound-absorbing pad 29, and the user's mouth is aligned with the sound-absorbing cavity 292.

[0066] The language environment maker also includes a smart terminal. Text is input on the smart terminal, which then sends the text to the translation device via a network. The translation device translates the text into sound and plays it. The smart terminal can be a smartphone or tablet.

[0067] Working principle:

[0068] Inside the muffler housing, the original sound emitted by the user's speech is gradually reduced as it passes through the sound-absorbing cotton, thus achieving noise reduction. After exiting the muffler housing, the original sound enters the muffler box through the exhaust pipe, where it vibrates back and forth to cancel each other out, achieving further noise reduction.

[0069] The original sound is initially silenced by the silencing shell and the built-in sound insulation cotton. Then, the silencing box performs another silencing treatment to minimize the original sound and reduce the possibility of it propagating.

[0070] When multiple users communicate while wearing the noise-canceling device, the original sound they make is muted, and only the sound of the target language translated by the translation device is played out. In the surrounding environment, only the sound of the participants communicating with each other in the target language can be heard, thus creating an environment where communication is entirely in the target language.

[0071] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
