Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of tactile stimulation, and in particular relates to a tactile stimulation device for textiles. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional assessments of textile tactile experience rely heavily on subjective evaluations, such as judging the softness and smoothness of fabrics based on the touch of consumers or experts. However, this method has limitations such as strong subjectivity and difficulty in quantification. Related technologies utilize electroencephalography (EEG) to assess the brain data of people touching textiles, quantifying subjective tactile sensations and thus achieving objective evaluation. However, objective EEG assessments typically employ manual touch, where subjects directly slide and stroke the fabric, which is inefficient and susceptible to human interference.

[0027] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this application. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0028] This application provides a tactile stimulation device for textiles, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown.

[0029] In one exemplary embodiment, the textile tactile stimulation device 10 includes:

[0030] Box 101, wherein the box 101 is a hollow shell structure;

[0031] The motor module includes a motor 102 and a motor control unit connected to the motor 102, wherein the motor 102 is fixed inside the housing 101;

[0032] The transmission module includes a first transmission unit and a second transmission unit disposed within the housing 101. The first transmission unit is connected to the output shaft of the motor 102, and the second transmission unit is fixed to the housing 101. The first transmission unit and the second transmission unit are used to cover the textile sample 20 and to drive the textile sample 20 to rotate. At least one side of the housing 101 is an open structure for extending into the area where the textile sample 20 is located.

[0033] The aforementioned housing 101 is an empty shell structure used to house and fix at least some of the other structures in the textile tactile stimulation device 10.

[0034] The motor control unit of the aforementioned motor module is used to control the motor 102, including controlling the rotation and stopping of the motor 102. The motor 102 can be any type of motor with a rotatable output shaft; for example, the motor 102 can be configured as a stepper motor 102.

[0035] In some embodiments, the motor module may further include a drive unit, which is connected to both the motor control unit and the motor 102, and is used to amplify the control signal output by the motor control unit to drive the high-power motor 102. The motor control unit and drive unit may be located inside or outside the housing 101, depending on the specific requirements.

[0036] The first transmission unit of the aforementioned transmission module is connected to the output shaft of the motor 102, meaning that the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 102 can drive the first transmission unit to rotate. The second transmission unit is located on one side of the first transmission unit. When the textile sample 20 is fitted onto the first and second transmission units, if the output shaft of the motor 102 is controlled to rotate, the first and second transmission units can drive the textile sample 20 to rotate.

[0037] At least one side of the aforementioned box 101 is an open structure. An open structure refers to a structure that is not completely closed, including completely open and semi-closed structures. Semi-closed structures can be achieved by providing a baffle with an opening, or by providing openable and closable components (such as a cover and a sliding panel). With the aforementioned open structure on at least one side, the subject's arm can be inserted into the box 101 to touch the textile sample 20, and can be inserted to replace the textile sample 20 after a tactile test of the sample 20 is completed.

[0038] With the above configuration, if the motor 102 rotates, the textile sample 20 can be driven to rotate around the transmission unit through the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit. If the test subject touches the textile sample 20 through the open structure of the box 101 at the same time, the textile sample 20 can slide at the touch point without the test subject having to slide manually, which is beneficial to improving efficiency and reducing interference caused by manual sliding.

[0039] Optionally, the first transmission unit includes a driving wheel 103 and a first driven wheel 104, and the second transmission unit includes a second driven wheel 105;

[0040] The driving wheel 103 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 102 and meshes with the first driven wheel 104. The gear shafts of the first driven wheel 104 and the second driven wheel 105 are both fixed to the housing 101. The driving wheel 103 and the second driven wheel 105 are used to cover the textile sample 20, and the driving wheel 103 and the first driven wheel 104 are used to press the textile sample 20 into the meshing position.

[0041] As an example, the aforementioned driving wheel 103, first driven wheel 104, and second driven wheel 105 can be plastic gears of the same size with the same number of teeth and module. The driving wheel 103 meshes with the first driven wheel 104. If the textile sample 20 is pressed against the meshing position of the driving wheel 103 and the first driven wheel 104, the driving wheel 103 and the first driven wheel 104 can drive the textile sample 20 to rotate in the radial direction of the driving wheel 103. If the textile sample 20 is simultaneously fitted onto the driving wheel 103 and the second driven wheel 105, it can drive the textile sample 20 to rotate around the driving wheel 103 and the second driven wheel 105.

[0042] With the above-described configuration, the arm can be extended downwards into the middle area containing the strip of textile between the driving wheel 103 and the second driven wheel 105. The inside of the arm contacts the strip of textile below, allowing the strip of textile to slide along the inside of the arm when the motor 102 is activated. Compared to using belt drive and fixing the strip of textile to a conveyor belt, the structure described in this embodiment avoids interference from the conveyor belt material during tactile testing.

[0043] Optionally, a first limiting baffle 1031 is provided on both sides of the rotating part of the drive wheel 103, and the first limiting baffle 1031 protrudes from the edge of the rotating part of the drive wheel 103.

[0044] And / or,

[0045] A second limiting baffle 1051 is provided on both sides of the rotating part of the second driven wheel 105, and the second limiting baffle 1051 protrudes from the edge of the rotating part of the second driven wheel 105.

[0046] In this embodiment, by providing the first limiting baffle 1031, the textile sample 20 can be prevented from sliding out from both sides of the rotating part of the driving wheel 103 during rotation; by providing the second limiting baffle 1051, the textile sample 20 can be prevented from sliding out from both sides of the rotating part of the second driven wheel 105 during rotation.

[0047] Since the textile sample 20 needs to be pressed between the driving wheel 103 and the first driven wheel 104, making the driving wheel 103 and the first driven wheel 104 detachable facilitates the removal and installation of the textile sample 20. However, since the driving wheel 103 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 102, in order to reduce the impact on the motor 102, the first driven wheel 104 can be made detachable.

[0048] The following describes the mounting structure of the detachable first driven wheel 104.

[0049] Optionally, the first driven wheel 104 is disposed between the driving wheel 103 and the top of the housing 101:

[0050] The top of the housing 101 is an open structure. A mounting plate 106 is provided on the first side of the housing 101 near the top of the housing 101. The mounting plate 106 is fixed with a first mounting bracket 107 and a second mounting bracket 108. The first mounting bracket 107 and the second mounting bracket 108 are respectively provided with a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove facing the top of the housing 101. The shaft of the first driven wheel 104 is inserted into the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove.

[0051] With the above-described configuration, the first driven wheel 104 can be removed from the top of the housing 101 and inserted into it, thereby facilitating the replacement of the textile sample 20.

[0052] Optionally, the first and second sides of the housing 101 are open structures, and the first and second sides are the radial sides of the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit.

[0053] The second side is the opposite side of the first side, and the first side can be provided with the mounting plate 106. The second side can be directly set as a completely unclosed structure, or it can be provided with an openable and closable cover, etc.

[0054] With the above setup, the area where the transmission module is located can be accessed from the first and second sides, making it convenient to replace the textile sample 20.

[0055] For ease of understanding, the following example illustrates how to replace the textile sample 20, using a transmission module comprising the aforementioned driving wheel 103, first driven wheel 104, and second driven wheel 105.

[0056] a. Remove the first driven wheel 104 from the top of the housing 101;

[0057] b. Test the removal of the fitted strip textile through the open structure on the first side, the second side, or the top of the box 101;

[0058] c. The replaced textile sample 20 is fitted onto the driving wheel 103 and the driven wheel 105 through the open structure on the first and second sides.

[0059] d. Insert the first driven wheel 104 into the first and second mounting slots from the top of the housing 101.

[0060] The replacement of textile sample 20 can be completed by following steps a to d above.

[0061] Optionally, baffles are provided on the third and fourth sides of the housing 101, and the baffles on the third and fourth sides are respectively provided with a first opening 109 and / or a second opening 110, wherein the third and fourth sides are the axial sides of the first transmission unit and the second transmission unit.

[0062] In this embodiment, by providing baffles on both the third and fourth sides, the various structures inside the box 101 can be protected. By providing the first opening 109 and / or the second opening 110, the subject can extend their arm into the area where the strip of textile is located through the first opening 109 and / or the second opening 110, and the first opening 109 and / or the second opening 110 can provide support for the arm, which helps to improve comfort.

[0063] Optionally, the baffle on the third side and the baffle on the fourth side are respectively provided with the first opening 109 and the second opening 110, and a columnar support cylinder 111 connecting the first opening 109 and the second opening 110 is provided between the third side and the fourth side, and openings 1111 for inserting the textile sample 20 are respectively provided on both sides of the columnar support cylinder 111.

[0064] The aforementioned columnar support cylinder 111 can provide overall support for the arm that extends into it, which helps to further improve comfort.

[0065] Optionally, the baffle on the third side or the baffle on the fourth side is provided with a third mounting bracket 112, and the third mounting bracket 112 is fixed to the rotating shaft of the second transmission unit.

[0066] In this embodiment, by utilizing the existing third and fourth baffles, a third mounting bracket 112 is provided that is fixed to the shaft of the second transmission unit (e.g., the second driven wheel 105), which is beneficial for structural simplification.

[0067] Optionally, a mounting platform 113 is provided at the bottom of the housing 101, and the motor 102 is mounted on the side of the mounting platform 113 facing the top of the housing 101.

[0068] In this embodiment, a base plate can be provided at the bottom of the housing 101, and the aforementioned mounting platform 113 can be provided on the base plate.

[0069] With the above settings, the output shaft of the motor 102 can be kept at a certain distance from the bottom of the housing 101, thereby avoiding interference from the bottom of the housing 101 (e.g., the base plate) when the output shaft of the motor 102 is rotating.

[0070] Optionally, at least one corner of the mounting side of the motor 102 is provided with a mounting hole, and at least one fourth mounting bracket 114 is provided between the mounting platform 113 and the top of the housing 101, the at least one fourth mounting bracket 114 passing through the mounting hole at the corresponding corner.

[0071] The aforementioned mounting side can be the side of the motor closest to the output shaft, and has four corners.

[0072] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned settings can simplify the fixed installation of the motor 102 and reduce the risk of the motor 102 sliding during rotation.

[0073] To further improve the stability of the motor 102, mounting holes can be provided at all four corners of the mounting side, and four fourth mounting brackets 114 can be provided between the mounting platform 113 and the top of the housing 101. The four fourth mounting brackets 114 pass through the mounting holes at the four corners to fix the motor 102.
