[0038] The principles and structures of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments.
[0039] Embodiment one
[0040] As Figure 1 , 2, 3, 4, an electronic book with audio function, comprising a book cover, a book page 4, the book cover is also called book outer skin, shell or book cover, etc., that is, the outermost hard shell of the book, the book page 4 is the paper page carrying printed content.
[0041] The inside of the book cover is provided with a matrix keyboard 5 below the book page 4, the book cover comprises a front shell 1 and a back shell 2 on both sides of the book page 4, the front shell 1 is also called the cover, the back shell 2 is also called the cover bottom, the connection between the front shell 1 and the back shell 2 is the book spine 3, and the side edge of the book page 4 is fixedly connected with the book spine 3. When the book cover is closed, the book page 4 is clamped between the front shell 1 and the back shell 2.
[0042] The book cover is a paperboard or plastic board with a certain thickness and hardness, and the matrix keyboard 5 is arranged on the back shell 2. The matrix keyboard 5 is a thin film matrix keyboard 5, which is similar to the thin film keyboard on the portable calculator, has a relatively small thickness, is convenient to arrange on the back shell 2, occupies a small space, is convenient to perceive the touch pressure transmitted from the book page 4, and can be embedded on the inner side surface of the back shell 2, so that the surface of the thin film keyboard is flush with the surface of the back shell 2. The matrix keyboard 5 of the embodiment is an 8x10 matrix keyboard 5, the keyboard is connected with the controller through a keyboard interface chip, and of course, it can also be other specifications of the keyboard, which mainly depends on the demand for the number of keys, and can be flexibly arranged according to the actual situation. The matrix keyboard 5 is used for detecting the pressing information, and the electronic sound emitting component is controlled to play according to the pressing information, which belongs to the mature technical means in the field of electronic information technology. Therefore, the specific setting details are not described here.
[0043] As shown in Figure 5As shown, the matrix keyboard 5 is electrically connected with a controller, the controller is electrically connected with a broadcast module and a recording module, the controller sends corresponding control signals to control the working state of the broadcast module and the recording module according to the input signals of the matrix keyboard 5. The controller mentioned here refers to an electronic device or other device or system capable of realizing automatic control, which can send corresponding instructions to control the work of other devices after receiving signals or instructions and processing by software, for example, the controller can be a control device or system composed of a central processing unit (CPU), a microcontroller unit (MCU), a system on chipset (SoC), an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic device (PLD), a single-chip microcomputer, etc. or a combination thereof, which is used to receive the key information of the matrix keyboard 5 and then control the work of the broadcast module or the recording module according to the key information, for example, when it is detected that the sound-emitting mark 41 is pressed, the broadcast module sends corresponding sound information, and when it is detected that the recording mark 42 is pressed, the recording module records.
[0044] The sound-emitting mark 41 and the recording mark 42 are arranged on each page, and the recording can be performed page by page. The sound-emitting mark 41 and the recording mark 42 on different pages correspond to different keys on the matrix keyboard 5, and the recording can be repeated and overlapped, that is, the audio recorded later replaces the audio recorded before in the memory, so as to realize the update of the audio.
[0045] The recording module mainly includes a recording switch 8 for controlling whether the recording works, a microphone 9 for recording, and a data storage chip for storing sound information. The microphone 9 is located on the right side of the rear shell 2. The recording switch 8 is located on the right side of the rear shell 2. When recording is needed, the recording switch 8 is first turned on, and then the recording mark 42 is pressed to start recording, that is, at this time, the data storage chip stores the sound information picked up by the microphone 9. After recording is finished, the recording switch 8 is turned off to prevent misoperation, that is, the recording switch is equivalent to a master switch for controlling whether each page can be recorded.
[0046] The broadcast module mainly includes a loudspeaker 10 for playing audio, and the loudspeaker 10 is also located on the right side of the rear shell 2.
[0047] A light module is also provided, which is an LED lamp 7 connected to the controller, so that the user can know the recording mode is on and the recording can be performed by controlling the light-emitting state of the LED lamp 7, for example, making the LED lamp 7 emit light when recording.
[0048] A rechargeable battery 13 for powering the device and a charging module for charging the battery are also included, and the charging module includes a charging jack on the bottom side of the rear shell 2 for connecting to an external circuit, which is a TYPE-C jack 12.
[0049] The charging module also includes a power supply switch 14 for controlling whether the battery powers the device or not, which is also arranged on the right side of the rear shell 2. The power supply switch 14 can be used as a master switch for controlling whether the device works or not.
[0050] Each electronic module can be integrated on a circuit board 15 embedded in the lower shell.
[0051] As an embodiment, Figures 6 to 11 a schematic diagram of the modules of the electronic system of the electronic book is shown, and for the convenience of showing the diagram and for the understanding of those skilled in the art, the pins (or terminals) of each module are marked with corresponding codes, and the same codes represent the relationship that the pins (or terminals) are electrically connected together. Specifically, how to set the control program in the controller to realize the function of controlling the work of each module belongs to the routine technology of electronic technicians and belongs to the part of software setting, which will not be described here.
[0052] Embodiment two
[0053] As Figures 12 to 18 shown, unlike the above embodiment, the side edges of the book pages 4 are not directly fixedly connected with the book spine 3, but the side edges of several book pages 4 are fixedly connected to form an independent book, and several books are clamped between the front and rear shells 2. For the convenience of showing, in the figure, the book below is a lower book 61, and the book above is an upper book 62.
[0054] The matrix keyboard 5 is arranged on the rear shell 2, and the rear shell 2 has a first positioning column 16 and a second positioning column 17 arranged side by side on the side edge close to the book spine 3. The book has a first positioning hole 18 arranged on the side edge close to the book spine 3 and sleeved on the first positioning column 16, and a second positioning hole 19 sleeved on the second positioning column 17.
[0055] When the first positioning hole 18 is sleeved on the first positioning column 16 and the second positioning hole 19 is sleeved on the second positioning column 17, the positioning hole is sleeved on the positioning column so that the book is positioned relative to the book cover, preventing the book from moving relative to the book cover; and when only the first positioning hole 18 is sleeved on the first positioning column 16 and the second positioning hole 19 is not sleeved on the second positioning column 17, the book can be freely rotated around the first positioning column 16. When the book cover is opened and the front shell 1 and the rear shell 2 are located on the same plane, the book can be rotated from the rear shell 2 to the front shell 1 after the book is rotated counterclockwise or clockwise around the first positioning column 16, and the width of the book is less than the distance between the first positioning column 16 and the second positioning column 17, so that when the book is rotated to the front shell 1, the second positioning column 17 is prevented from being located below the book.
[0056] The first positioning column 16 is provided with a first locking mechanism for fixing the book, so as to fix the book on the first positioning column 16 and prevent the first positioning column 16 from being separated from the first positioning hole 18; the second positioning column 17 is provided with a second locking mechanism for fixing the book, so as to fix the book on the second positioning column 17 and prevent the second positioning column 17 from being separated from the second positioning hole 19, so that the two positioning columns are used to realize fixed connection of the book relative to the book cover, so that the pressing mark on the book page 4 corresponds to the key on the matrix keyboard 5, so as to correctly detect the pressing information.
[0057] The height of the first positioning column 16 and the second positioning column 17 relative to the inner side of the rear shell 2 is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the two books, so that at least two books can be fixed on the book cover at the same time.
[0058] For example, the first locking mechanism includes a screw thread provided at the end of the first positioning column 16 and a nut 20 matched with the screw thread. When the nut 20 is connected at the end of the first positioning column 16 through the screw thread, the book can be fixed between the nut 20 and the book cover, thereby avoiding the book from being separated from the first positioning column 16. When it is necessary to replace the book, the nut 20 can be removed to replace different books. When the nut 20 is fixed at the end of the first positioning column 16, the book can still rotate around the first positioning column 16. For example, the lower book 61 can be moved to the front shell 1 by rotating, so that the upper book 62 is closer to the lower matrix keyboard 5, thereby facilitating the small pressing force of the mark bit to be transmitted to the lower matrix keyboard 5. If the book has too many pages and the thickness is large, the matrix keyboard 5 cannot detect the pressing information unless the lower book 61 is removed.
[0059] The front shell 1 is provided with insertion holes 21 corresponding to the first positioning column 16 and the second positioning column 17. When the front shell 1 is combined with the rear shell 2, the ends of the first positioning column 16 and the second positioning column 17 are inserted into the corresponding insertion holes 21, thereby facilitating storage.
[0060] The second locking mechanism includes a ring body 22 slidably sleeved at the end of the second positioning column 17. The end of the second positioning column 17 and the ring body 22 are attracted to each other by magnetic force, so that the ring body 22 presses the book against the rear shell 2. The use of magnetic force to control the pressing and releasing of the book is extremely convenient, and the book can be quickly fixed relative to the book cover or separated from the second positioning column 17, thereby facilitating the rotation of the book around the first positioning column 16. In this embodiment, the rear shell 2 below the second positioning column 17 is provided with a cylindrical magnet 23, and the ring body 22 is an iron ring that can be attracted by a magnetic field, thereby realizing the attraction of the ring body 22 to achieve clamping of the book. The second positioning column 17 can be made of iron, aluminum, copper or other materials.
[0061] The inner side of the front shell 1 is provided with a third positioning column 24. The distance from the first positioning column 16 to the second positioning column 17 is equal to the distance from the first positioning column 16 to the third positioning column 24. The straight line where the first positioning column 16 and the second positioning column 17 are located is perpendicular to the straight line where the first positioning column 16 and the third positioning column 24 are located. In this way, when the book rotates counterclockwise around the first positioning column 16, the second positioning hole 19 can be sleeved on the third positioning column 24, thereby preventing the book from continuing to rotate relative to the book cover. Of course, a magnetic attraction locking mechanism like that on the second positioning column 17 can also be provided on the third positioning column 24, so that the book is fixed relative to the third positioning column 24 more firmly.
[0062] The inner side of the front shell 1 is provided with an elastic pressing strip 25, the first end of the elastic pressing strip 25 is connected to the front shell 1 through the rotation of the shaft hinge 26, and the second end of the elastic pressing strip 25 is a free end.
[0063] The inner side of the front shell 1 is provided with an elastic pressing strip 25, the first end of the elastic pressing strip 25 is connected to the front shell 1 through the rotation of the shaft hinge 26, and the second end of the elastic pressing strip 25 is a free end, the elastic pressing strip 25 can adopt a thin metal strip with good elasticity, such as an iron strip or a copper strip, the second end of the elastic pressing strip 25 is used to press the book on the front shell 1, the second end is slightly tilted upward relative to the shell to facilitate the movement of the elastic pressing strip 25 or the entry of the book between the second end and the shell, the position of the second end is adjusted by rotating the elastic pressing strip 25 around the first shaft hinge 26, so that the second end moves to or away from the upper side of the lower book 61, and the clamping or loosening of the lower book 61 is realized. When the second end is moved to the book, the second end can be slightly lifted upward by the finger, after being moved to the book, the second end is loosened, so that the second end is pressed on the book by relying on its own elastic force, so that the book is fixed.
