Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment, and in particular to a rock piton and an auxiliary climbing device for visually impaired people. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are approximately 100 million people with visual impairments worldwide. While the basic needs of visually impaired individuals have been met to some extent with societal development, their lives remain monotonous and dull, and for many, participating in sports activities remains a significant challenge.

[0003] Traditional rock climbing pitons only provide physical gripping functions. Visually impaired people need to rely on real-time voice guidance from instructors or physical assistance from partners to complete the rock climbing experience. This method requires full assistance from external personnel, cannot complete rock climbing independently, and has poor autonomy. In addition, voice guidance from external personnel is delayed and can easily lead to mis-gripping or falling, resulting in low safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the problem that visually impaired individuals rely on instructors for voice prompts or partners for physical assistance to complete rock climbing experiences, resulting in an inability to climb independently, poor autonomy, and a high risk of accidental grabbing or falling, thus posing a safety risk. The invention provides a rock piton and an auxiliary climbing device for visually impaired individuals.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A rock bolt includes a housing, a control module, an interactive communication module, and a prompting component electrically connected to the control module. The housing is provided with a detection module for detecting pressure. The input terminal of the control module is connected to the output terminal of the detection module, and the output terminal of the control module is connected to the input terminal of the prompting component.

[0007] As described above, the cueing component of the rock piton includes an audible cue and a vibration motor fixed to the housing and having multiple vibration directions.

[0008] As described above, the rock nail has a terminal connection plate inside the housing, which is electrically connected to the control module, detection module and prompting component via quick-connect wires.

[0009] As described above, the housing of the rock bolt has a gripping part, and the detection module is fixed to the gripping part.

[0010] As described above, the rock bolt housing includes a lower housing and an upper housing. A pad is fixedly provided on the upper housing to reinforce the housing. A reinforcing post is provided on the pad, with one end of the reinforcing post fixed to the pad and the other end fixed to the inner wall of the housing.

[0011] As described above, the bottom of the housing is provided with a base plate, and the base plate is provided with a communication port communicating with the housing. The quick-connect wire passes through the communication port to electrically connect the control module with the terminal connection plate.

[0012] The rock bolts described above include mounting holes and fasteners, with one end of the fastener fixed to the mounting holes and the other end fixed to the wall.

[0013] As described above, the vibratory motor is installed at an offset of 30°–60° for the rock bolts.

[0014] The rock bolt as described above includes a power supply module for providing power to the control module, the power supply module including a battery and a magnetic charging element for charging the battery.

[0015] A rock climbing aid for visually impaired individuals includes multiple rock spikes, which communicate with each other via the interactive communication module.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this technical solution are as follows:

[0017] 1. With the structure of this utility model, the pressure output is detected by the detection module and sent to the control module. The control module controls the prompting component to provide prompts, thereby reminding visually impaired people to engage in rock climbing, enabling them to complete rock climbing independently.

[0018] 2. With the structure of this utility model, multiple rock pitons can communicate and interact through the interactive communication module. The connection of multiple rock pitons can be used to plan climbing routes, thereby enabling the prompting component to guide visually impaired people to plan climbing routes, thus enhancing their autonomy.

[0019] 3. With the structure of this utility model, since the prompting component includes a vibration motor and a sound prompting component, the visually impaired person is less likely to accidentally grab something during rock climbing due to the combined action of the vibration motor and the sound prompting component, thus improving safety.

[0020] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Figure 3 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 The illustrated rock climbing piton includes a housing 1, a control module 3, an interactive communication module, and a prompting component 2 electrically connected to the control module 3. The housing 1 has a detection module 4 for detecting pressure. The input terminal of the control module 3 is connected to the output terminal of the detection module 4, and the output terminal of the control module 3 is connected to the input terminal of the prompting component 2. The detection module 4 detects pressure and outputs it to the control module 3. The control module 3 then controls the prompting component 2 to provide prompts, thereby reminding visually impaired individuals to engage in rock climbing, enabling them to climb independently.

[0028] As a specific implementation and not a limitation, to more accurately guide visually impaired individuals in climbing, the prompting component 2 includes an audio prompting element 22 and a vibration motor 21 fixed to the housing 1 and having multiple vibration directions. The audio prompting element 22 is a buzzer. It emits 800-2000Hz pulsed sound waves, preferably 1000Hz, with an interval of 0.5 seconds. Alternatively, the audio prompting element 22 can also be a voice module, which can be controlled to broadcast real-time voice prompts to better guide visually impaired individuals in rock climbing.

[0029] As a specific implementation and not a limitation, to better coordinate multiple pitons, the control module 3 includes a central processing unit 31. The input of the central processing unit 31 is connected to the output of the detection module 4, and the output of the central processing unit 31 is connected to the input of the prompting component 2. The central processing unit 31 is an Arduino Uno-based development board. The detection module 4 detects pressure signals, converts the pressure signals into electrical signals, and transmits them to the central processing unit 31. After processing by the central processing unit 31, it controls the vibration motor 21 in the prompting component 2 to vibrate in the corresponding direction. The central processing unit 31 also integrates an interactive communication module, through which multiple pitons communicate. The interactive communication module can use wireless or wired communication, preferably wireless communication, so that the central processing unit 31 can control the sound prompting component 22 on another piton to play a sound to prompt the user.

[0030] Furthermore, to quickly connect the control module 3, detection module 4, and prompting component 2, a terminal connection plate 5 is provided inside the housing 1. The terminal connection plate 5 is electrically connected to the control module 3, detection module 4, and prompting component 2 respectively via quick-connect wires. By inserting one terminal of the quick-connect wire into the terminal connection plate 5 and the other terminal into the corresponding control module 3, detection module 4, or prompting component 2, the electrical connection can be completed, eliminating cumbersome wiring and making the connection very quick and convenient.

[0031] Furthermore, to provide a better grip for the user, the housing 1 is provided with a gripping part 13, and the detection module 4 is fixed to the gripping part 13. The gripping part 13 is a curved structure with a small overall curvature, which does not feel uncomfortable to the hand when the user grips it, providing a better grip and aiding the user's climbing. In addition, the detection module 4 is a strain gauge pressure sensor. When the user's hand or foot comes into contact with the gripping part 13 on the housing 1 during rock climbing, the detection module 4 will detect the pressure and convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal, which is then input to the control module 3 for processing.

[0032] As a specific implementation and not a limitation, to increase the strength of the rock piton, the housing 1 includes a lower shell 11 and an upper shell 19. A pad 12 is fixedly provided on the lower shell 11, and the pad 12 is used to reinforce the housing 1. A reinforcing post 15 is provided on the pad 12, one end of the reinforcing post 15 is fixed to the pad 12, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1. The pad 12 is a plastic block that fits into the inner wall of the housing 1, which can add appropriate counterweight to the rock piton and increase the strength of the housing 1, so that the rock piton can bear greater load. In addition, by fixing one end of the reinforcing post 15 to the pad 12 and the other end to the inner wall of the housing 1, the reinforcing post 15 supports the housing 1, resulting in a rock piton with greater strength. In addition, to meet production requirements, the housing 1 is designed as a draftable upper shell 19 and lower shell 11, which facilitates processing and the installation of internal parts of the rock piton.

[0033] Furthermore, to facilitate the connection between the control module 3 and the terminal connection plate 5, a base plate 17 is provided at the bottom of the rock nail. The base plate 17 has a communication port 171 that communicates with the housing 1. The quick-connect cable passes through the communication port 171 to electrically connect the control module 3 and the terminal connection plate 5. In addition, the upper shell 19 is provided with reinforcing ribs. When the upper shell 19 and the lower shell 11 are fitted together, the terminal connection plate 5 is fixed by the cooperation of the reinforcing ribs with the terminal connection plate 5.

[0034] As one embodiment and not a limitation, for installing rock pitons on a wall, a mounting hole 16 and a fastener 14 are included. One end of the fastener 14 is fixed to the mounting hole 16, and the other end is fixed to the wall. The fastener 14 is a stud, which is fixed by threaded engagement between one end of the stud and the mounting hole 16, and the other end is fixed to the wall. When disassembly is required, the rock piton is detached from the wall by twisting the fastener 14. Additionally, the spacer 12 has a cavity that communicates with the mounting hole 16, allowing the stud to be concealed within the cavity.

[0035] Furthermore, the vibration motor 21 is installed at an offset of 30°–60°. Preferably, the vibration motor is installed at an offset of 45°. In this application, the vibration motor is an eccentric rotor type motor, which can achieve different vibration directions by controlling its rotation.

[0036] As a specific implementation method and not a limitation, in order to achieve a better cushioning and shock absorption effect, a washer 18 is fitted on the fixing member 14. One end of the washer 18 abuts against the rock piton, and the other end abuts against the wall. When rock climbing, the washer 18 can play a good cushioning role, so that the rock piton is not easily damaged, and the wall is not easily damaged either.

[0037] Furthermore, for convenient charging, a power supply module is included to provide power to the control module 3. The power supply module includes a battery and a magnetic charging component for charging the battery. The magnetic charging component is powered after being magnetically attracted to the magnetic charger, achieving wireless energy transmission using the principle of electromagnetic induction. Magnetic alignment technology enhances efficiency and convenience.

[0038] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0039] When a visually impaired person grasps the first piton, the detection module 4 on that piton detects the pressure, causing the control module 3 to control the vibration motor 21 to vibrate. The vibration direction is aligned with the next piton to be climbed. Simultaneously, the control module 3 controls the sound prompt device 22 on the next piton to be climbed to emit an audible prompt. The visually impaired person can then confirm the next piton to climb by observing the direction of the motor vibration and the audible prompt from device 22. This process can be repeated to plan a climbing route, thus providing assistance to the visually impaired person in climbing. Furthermore, users can plan climbing routes through the control module 3, allowing visually impaired individuals to complete the climbing experience without relying on instructors for voice prompts or physical assistance from partners. The combined effect of the vibration motor and audible prompts reduces the risk of accidental grasping, enhancing safety.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] The main difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, in order to save costs, multiple rock pitons can be electrically connected. The rock pitons are fixed to the wall, and the control module 3 is pre-embedded on the back of the wall, so that the control module 3 is hidden inside the wall. The control modules 3 on multiple rock pitons are electrically connected together by wires to achieve communication. In addition, the vibration motor 21 can be a common motor. The vibration motor 21 is installed in different positions of the housing 1, which means that the climbing route has been determined. The installation position of the vibration motor 21 can guide the visually impaired person to climb the direction. It is not necessary to use expensive special motors to generate vibrations in different directions, which does not affect the appearance of the rock climbing point and can achieve the predetermined goal.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
