Description

[0001] BELT WITH SENSOR

[0002] Technical Field:

[0003] The present invention relates to a belt with sensor, which can be easily used by visually impaired individuals in their daily life and can be used to detect objects on the ground or in the air.

[0004] State of the Art:

[0005] Nowadays, there are many visually impaired individuals. Various products have been developed to ensure that these individuals are not affected by the challenges they may encounter in daily life or are affected as little as possible. The most common of these products are the walking sticks used by visually impaired individuals. However, these walking sticks keep the individual's hand constantly occupied and lead to fatigue. They are also not helpful in every situation.

[0006] Utility model application numbered CN201244168Y describes "Walking Stick for the Visually Impaired". The invention provides a crutch that is used by the blind. The front end of a handle of the crutch is equipped with a warning light, and the warning light is located on the underside of the front end of the handle by a light sensation gauge tap connected to a built-in circuit. The warning light can illuminate at night or in poor light conditions by turning on the light sensation gauge tap to warn other pedestrians against blocking the blind from walking, and provide safety and comfort to the blind using crutches at night.

[0007] In patent application numbered CN110811088A, "Blind-Guide Bracelet" is described. The invention provides a blind-guide bracelet comprising a bracelet body, a blind-guide component, a blind-guide component mounting box, and a pointing arrow; wherein the bracelet body is provided with a blind guide-component mounting box and blind guidecomponent; the blind-guide component mounting box is covered with a case cover, the case cover covers the blind-guide component mounting box to form an accommodation space; the blind-guide component is fixedly installed in the accommodation space; the blind-guide component comprises a main control module, a vibration module, a micro motor, and an infrared detection module; and the main control module detects the pointing arrow through the infrared detection module, evaluates the direction, and also controls the vibration module to vibrate to remind the user. The blind-guide bracelet has the beneficial effects of avoiding the ambiguity of voice navigation through the use of the technical scheme provided by the invention; adequately utilizing the characteristic of blind people having sensitive tactile and auditory sense; Combining the arm movements of the visually impaired with the voice reminding the arrow detection and switch position, the blind people are enabled to walk, and the navigation of the entire road section is completed.

[0008] Above is described a walking stick and bracelet for the visually impaired with various designs. Walking sticks remain primitive compared to today's technology. The constant waving of the walking stick by hand causes fatigue and does not allow the perception of every object in the environment. It only allows detection of surface shapes and objects on the surface. The visually impaired bracelet, on the other hand, informs the user of the surrounding objects by vibration with the help of various sensors. However, the bracelet is not an accessory that everyone can wear. The cost is also high.

[0009] As a result, there is a need for a new technology which can overcome the disadvantages mentioned above.

[0010] Definition of the Invention:

[0011] The present invention is a belt with sensors that overcomes the above mentioned disadvantages and is characterized by being used as a belt, having ultrasonic distance sensors, having a vibration module, vibrating according to the distance of the object, and being low cost.

[0012] The invention is a belt with ultrasonic distance sensors. The belt can be easily worn on all kinds of underwear products. When the sensors detect the surrounding objects, the vibration module vibrates and sends an alert to the user. The vibration increases as the individual gets closer to the object. In this way, the user can estimate the distance of the object. Compared to products such as walking sticks, it can detect not only objects on the ground but also objects suspended in the air above the user's waist. In this way, the safety of visually impaired individuals will increase. With the easy fastening of the parts that make up the invention to each other, it is easy to install, and thanks to the short assembly time, costs are low. Also, the invention has a solid structure.

[0022] 4. Vibration Module

[0023] 5. Control Unit

[0024] Description of the Invention:

[0025] The invention consists of a belt (1) that can be worn on any bottom wear article, a lock mechanism (2) positioned on the front of the belt (1) so that it can be easily put on and removed by visually impaired individuals, having male and female ends and allowing the lock to be unlocked with a button on top, at least 4 HC-SR04 model ultrasonic distance sensors (3) placed on the outer surface of the belt (1), at least 1 vibration module (4) positioned on the inner surface of the belt (1), which allows the user to be alerted by vibrating upon detection of an object by the ultrasonic distance sensor (3), and a control unit (5) positioned on the back side of the belt (1) and containing a battery and an Arduino nano in which ultrasonic distance sensor (3) and vibration module (4) are coded.

[0026] The invention has a vibration module (4), which vibrates when ultrasonic distance sensors (3) detect the object and the vibration strength increases as the object is approached and the vibration decreases as it is moved away.

[0027] Detailed Description of the Invention:

[0028] The constituent parts of the invention are essentially; belt (1), lock mechanism (2), ultrasonic distance sensor (3), vibration module (4), and control unit (5).

[0029] There is a locking mechanism (2) positioned in the opening at the front of the belt (1). The belt (1) can be worn on all kinds of bottom wear article, not just products with belt slots, such as trousers or shorts. The lock mechanism (2) consists of a male and a female end. The lock can be unlocked by pressing the button on the lock mechanism (2). At least 4 HC-SR04 model ultrasonic distance sensors (3) are positioned around the belt (1) to prevent visually impaired individuals from hitting the surrounding objects. At least 1 vibration module (4) is located on the inside of the belt (1). When ultrasonic distance sensors (3) detect an object, the vibration module (4) vibrates according to the distance of the object. It vibrates with light power for an object that is far away, and the vibration increases as the object gets closer. There is a control unit (5) at the back of the belt (1). Inside the control unit (5) there is a battery and Arduino nano where the ultrasonic distance sensor (3) and vibration module (4) are coded.
