Description

Low-energy-consumption electromagnetic pull rod type braille dot display module
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical engineering and electronic engineering, in particular to a low-energy-consumption electromagnetic pull rod type braille dot display module.
Background
According to the statistical data of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2010, about 3900 million blind people exist in the world, most blind people live in low-income and middle-income countries, the Chinese blind people are the top of the world, more than 600 million blind people exist in 2012, and the number of the Chinese blind people is greatly increased in 2020. Therefore, for such a large and important group of blind people, the society needs to give care and support to them, and at the same time, they also urgently need to get a good learning environment and cultural education.
The blind people can not study and read like ordinary people, the reading modes of the blind people comprise auditory reading and touch reading, the touch reading by fingers has high reading speed and good information discrimination, is a course which needs to be taught by a blind school, is one of the fields which need to be mastered for the blind people to communicate with the outside and interpersonal, and is a main way for the blind people to acquire knowledge and information at the present stage.
The Braille book is a main publication for the blind to appreciate and read, but the number is small, the manufacturing period is long, special paper is expensive, the working procedures are various and complex, the manufacturing time is long, and the general blind books need to be subjected to the manufacturing steps of translation, proofreading, template manufacturing, printing, arrangement, binding and the like, so that the Braille book is high in price, lagged in information, small in information quantity, heavy in size and extremely inconvenient to carry. With the progress of society and the development of science and technology, the reading and learning convenience of the blind is improved, and the blind is more and more emphasized by developed countries in the world, and various reading devices for the blind are continuously appeared.
The braille is the literal character specially for blind people to read and write, and the braille book and braille reading device are the displaying carrier of braille. The earliest characters which can be read by the blind in the world were invented by Francisco Lucas, Spain in 1517, but the characters only solve the reading problem, do not solve the writing problem, and are not used for a long time. The characters commonly used by Braille all over the world are born in 1824, and are a Braille character system which is created by the law, Louis Braille (Louis Braille) and inspired by night texts, and the Chinese also has the Braille national standard (GB/T15720-2008). The Braille contact driving mechanism is an important component of a Braille reading device, researchers at home and abroad research and develop Braille contact driving mechanisms in different driving forms based on different principles, and the Braille contact driving mechanisms mainly comprise driving modes such as piezoelectric ceramics, electric stimulation, memory alloy, pneumatics, temperature control, electromagnetism and other novel materials, wherein the piezoelectric ceramics type Braille point displayer is based on vibration stimulation, the electric stimulation type Braille point displayer is based on current stimulation, the temperature control type Braille point displayer is based on temperature stimulation, and the memory alloy type Braille type, pneumatic type and electromagnetic type are based on pressure stimulation.
Although scholars at home and abroad develop Braille point display devices in various driving modes, the Braille point display driving mechanism which is successfully applied at present only has a piezoelectric ceramic type and an electromagnetic type. In 1979, Telesensory Systems, usa, developed a dynamic braille display electronic device (VersaBraille) that uses a piezoelectric ceramic bimorph and an "L" type cantilever beam structure as a bump driving mechanism to form refreshable braille characters. After that, the companies of japan and germany have developed 20-square, 40-square braille display devices using piezoelectric ceramic sheets, and have continuously optimized structures, so that the performance of the piezoelectric ceramic sheets is more stable, and the piezoelectric ceramic type braille dot display device has low power consumption, fast refresh speed, light weight, and can provide a larger supporting force, but has disadvantages: the production and processing technology is complicated, the manufacturing cost of parts is high, and the popularization of the piezoelectric ceramic type braille dot displayer is limited. The electromagnetic braille point display mainly utilizes the characteristics that an electromagnetic coil generates a magnetic field when being electrified and disappears when the magnetic field is cut off, and drives the braille contact to bulge and descend to form braille characters. In the beginning of the 20 th century, Fung-Huei Yeh et al of mechanical and electromechanical engineering systems of the university of Yangtze river in Taiwan, China developed an electromagnetic braille dot display device, and since an electromagnetic braille contact driving mechanism has the advantages of high refreshing frequency, high reliability, low price, convenience in manufacturing and maintenance, capability of providing large supporting force and the like, continuous research is conducted in some countries such as Korea and China, but the whole device has high current demand and high power consumption, needs to be additionally provided with a cooling device, and has a large volume.
