Description

Technical area

[0001] The present utility model relates to the technical field of learning aids and in particular to an interactive audio book based on the conductivity principle of copper foil. State of the art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of educational technology, children's books have gradually evolved from traditional print media to interactive multimedia, designed to stimulate children's learning interests and cognitive abilities through diverse sensory stimulation. Among the numerous innovative reading materials, interactive audiobooks have emerged as a highlight in the children's education market due to their unique interactivity and fun factor. Such reading materials combine visual, auditory, and tactile elements, not only enriching the reading experience but also significantly developing children's auditory perception, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive abilities.

[0003] While traditional printed reading materials can convey rich text content and beautiful illustrations, they have significant deficiencies in interactivity and sound experience. To address this deficiency, many electronic technology-based audiobooks, such as reading pens and electronic storytellers, have appeared on the market. While these products can provide a variety of sound effects, they often require the support of external devices and are comparatively expensive, making their widespread adoption difficult. Furthermore, over-reliance on electronic devices can have potential negative effects on children's eyesight, raising concerns among parents and society. Contents of the present utility model 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0004] The object of this utility model is to provide an interactive audiobook based on the conductivity principle of copper foil to solve the problems inherent in existing technology. This allows for the playback of sound using the conductive properties of copper foil and a trigger mechanism that functions by physically sliding along a slide rail. This offers children a completely new interactive reading experience, increases the interactivity and entertainment value of reading, and simultaneously promotes auditory perception, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive skills. 2. Technical solutions

[0005] The task is solved by an interactive audio book based on the conductivity principle of copper foil according to the technical solutions of the present utility model.

[0006] The interactive audio book based on the conductivity principle of copper foil comprises a book cover and a book spine, wherein a slide rail is provided in the book cover, wherein a plurality of distributed electrical lines are integrated on the inner side of the slide rail, wherein contact points are arranged on the electrical lines, and a matching slider unit is slidably mounted within the slide rail, wherein the slider unit serves to switch the electrical lines conductive when pressed down onto the contact points; and a power supply is embedded in the book spine, wherein the power supply is electrically connected to the electrical lines for power supply.

[0007] The slider unit also comprises, from top to bottom, a slider, an adhesive layer, and a copper foil layer. The slider is designed so that children can slide it. The adhesive layer serves to attach the copper foil layer. The copper foil layer's conductivity enables it to switch the electrical wires on when it comes into contact with the contact points of the electrical wires, thereby triggering the playback of a sound.

[0008] Furthermore, the power supply is a removable battery unit and is equipped with a switch for control.

[0009] Furthermore, a loudspeaker is embedded in the spine of the book, which reproduces a sound corresponding to each of the electrical lines.

[0010] Furthermore, the electrical lines are all designed independently of each other and each of the electrical lines corresponds to a different sound output. 3. Beneficial effects

[0011] Compared to the prior art, the present utility model has the following advantages: (1) The present utility model enables the playback of a sound using the conductive properties of copper foil and a trigger mechanism that operates by physically sliding along a slide rail. This offers children a completely new interactive reading experience, increases the interactivity and entertainment value of reading, and simultaneously promotes children's auditory perception, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive abilities.

[0012] (2) The slide rail in the present utility model is divided into two parts: one part is an ordinary rail without a sound function; the other part is specially designed and integrates a sound function, so that a sound is played only in a corresponding area in order to match the reading progress.

[0013] (3) The embodiments of the present utility model allow for several different sound outputs, with each sound associated with a separate electrical line. When the slider unit comes into contact with the corresponding contact points at different positions on the slide rail, different sounds can be played, increasing interactivity and enjoyment while reading. Short description of the drawing Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of the overall structure of the present utility model; Fig. 2 shows a schematic representation of partially shown electrical lines within a slide rail of the present utility model; Fig. 3 shows an exploded view of a slide unit of the present utility model. List of reference symbols:

[0015] In the following, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model are described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Of course, the described embodiments represent only a portion of the embodiments of the present utility model and not all of them. Starting from the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments that can be devised by a person skilled in the art without creative effort fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Example

[0016] In Fig.1 to 3 show an interactive audio book based on the conductivity principle of copper foil, comprising a book cover 1 and a book spine 2. A slide rail 3 is provided in the book cover 1. Several distributed electrical lines 8 are integrated on the inner side of the slide rail 3. Contact points are arranged on the electrical lines 8. A matching slide unit 4 is slidably mounted within the slide rail 3. The slide unit 4 serves to switch the electrical lines 8 conductive when pressed down onto the contact points. A power supply 5 is embedded in the book spine 2. The power supply 5 is electrically connected to the electrical lines 8 for power supply.

[0017] Furthermore, the slider unit 4 comprises, from top to bottom, a slider 401, an adhesive layer 402, and a copper foil layer 403. The slider 401 is designed so that children can slide it. The adhesive layer 402 serves to attach the copper foil layer 403. Due to its conductivity, the copper foil layer 403 enables the electrical lines 8 to be switched on when it comes into contact with the contact points of the electrical lines 8, thereby triggering the playback of a sound.

[0018] Furthermore, the power supply 5 is a removable battery unit and is provided with a switch 6 for control. The power supply 5 is realized by a battery, which can either be replaceable or can be charged via an integrated charging socket, such as a USB charging socket.

[0019] Furthermore, a loudspeaker 7 is embedded in the spine 2, wherein a sound corresponding to each of the electrical lines 8 is reproduced via the loudspeaker 7.

[0020] To use, children first turn on the power supply 5 using the switch 6. While reading, they can then slide the slider unit 4 along the slide rail 3. As soon as the slider unit slides into the area of ​​one of the electrical wires 8, it presses on the corresponding contact point, so that the electrical wire 8 is switched on using the conductivity of the copper foil layer 403. Since each individual electrical wire 8 is associated with a different sound output, the corresponding sound is played via the loudspeaker 7. In this way, by moving the slider unit 4 along the slide rail 3 at a specific position while reading, a specific sound can be played. This book makes learning lively and interesting while also promoting auditory perception, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive skills.

[0021] The above embodiments are merely the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Within the scope of the technical disclosure of the present utility model, any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by a person skilled in the art based on the technical solutions and improvement concepts of the present utility model should be within the scope of the present utility model.
