Detailed Description
FIG. 1 illustrates a glove for detecting a user's hand gesture, motion, or finger bending. The glove 1 is designed as a five-finger glove and in particular as a glove (Vollhandschuh). The glove 1 is designed as a textile glove 1 made of a textile base body 2. The textile base body 2 is designed to cover at least some parts of the back of the hand, the palm of the hand and the fingers. The woven substrate 2 is formed from base fibers, for example a knitted fabric made of base fibers. The base fiber is preferably a natural fiber, such as cotton. Alternatively, the base fiber can be a plastic fiber, preferably a plastic fiber that is flame resistant or formed from a thermoset plastic.
The glove 1 and in particular the textile base body 2 have five finger sections 3. The finger section 3 is designed to cover a finger. In particular, the finger section 3 surrounds the finger in a cylindrical or hood-like manner. The finger sections 3 extend from the base 4 to the tip 5. The finger sections 3 for different fingers have in particular different finger section lengths. The finger section length is in particular greater than the knuckle length, in particular greater than two centimeters and in particular greater than three centimeters. The finger section 3 comprises a textile section of the textile substrate 2.
The glove 1 has a plurality of, in this embodiment five, sensor segments 6. The sensor sections 6 are each arranged on the back of the finger section 3. The sensor section 6 is a planar section, which has an area of more than one square centimeter, in particular more than two square centimeters. Each finger section 3 and/or each finger is assigned a sensor section 6. The sensor section 6 comprises a sensor fiber 7 (fig. 3). The sensor fiber 7 is an electrical fiber and in particular a metal fiber or a conductively coated fiber. For example, the sensor fibers 7 are configured as silver fibers or as silver wires or coated natural or polymeric fibers. The sensor fibers 7 are knitted, woven or interwoven to form a textile fabric. In particular, the sensor section can be knitted, woven or woven solely from the sensor fibers 7, alternatively the sensor section 7 also comprises a base fiber, wherein the base fiber is knitted, woven or woven together with the sensor fibers 7. The sensor fibers 7 form a knitted product, wherein the knitted product forms the sensor section 6. The sensor section 6 is directly knitted or knitted, stitched or connected to the textile base body 2. In particular, the sensor section 6 is directly woven, knitted or braided into the textile base body 2. The textile base body 2 and the sensor section 6 can be produced in particular in a common working step, such as a knitting step, an interlacing step or a weaving step.
The sensor section 6 has an electrical property. The electrical properties are in particular electrical conductivity and/or electrical resistance. The sensor section is designed in such a way that the electrical properties change when the sensor section 6 is stretched or deformed. For example, when the sensor section 6 is extended, the resistance can be increased or decreased as a matter of design. In particular, the deformation or the finger bending can be detected and/or determined by measuring an electrical property, such as a resistance.
The sensor sections 6 are each connected to two electrical contacts 8. The electrical contacts 8 are arranged spaced apart in the longitudinal direction in the embodiment of fig. 1. One electrical contact 8 is arranged in the region of the fingertip 5 and the other electrical contact 8 of the associated sensor section 6 is arranged in the region of the finger base 4. The electrical properties, in particular the electrical resistance, between the two electrical contacts 8, in the present exemplary embodiment between the finger base and the finger tip, are thus determined.
The electrical contacts 8 are connected to an evaluation unit 10 by means of printed conductors 9. The evaluation unit 10 is arranged as a computer unit on the back of the hand. The conductor tracks 9 are interwoven, knitted or braided as fibers and/or yarns into the textile base body 2. Alternatively, the electrical conductor tracks 9 are stamped, embroidered, stitched or sewn onto the textile substrate. The evaluation unit 10 is supplied with measurement data. The measurement data are in particular the electrical properties and/or the change in the electrical properties of the sensor section 9. On the basis of the measurement data, in particular the electrical properties, in particular the electrical resistance, the evaluation unit can determine which finger has moved and/or has bent and in particular how great the movement and/or bending is.
Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment of the glove 1. The glove 1 is essentially designed like the glove of fig. 1, wherein the sensor segments 6 differ from one another. The glove 1 comprises a textile base body 2 and in turn has five finger sections 3. The finger sections 3 each comprise one of the sensor sections 6.
In the present exemplary embodiment, the sensor section 6 is configured in a U-shape. The sensor section 6 has a U-shape with an opening in the direction of the finger base 4. The waist of the U-shaped sensor section 6 is contacted by means of an electrical contact 8. The electrical contacts 8 are all in the finger-root region. From this, an electrical property, in particular a resistance, between the two electrical contacts 8 is measured and/or determined. The resistance of the sensor section 6 is the resistance of the U-shaped section.
The electrical contacts 8 are connected to an evaluation unit 10 by means of printed conductors 9. The evaluation unit 10 thus receives the evaluation data provided and is able to detect and/or determine deformations and/or finger bends.
Fig. 3a shows a detailed section of the sensor section 6. The sensor section 6 is designed as a knitted item with a plurality of needle thread arrangements 11. The needle thread arrangement 11 is constructed from the sensor fiber 7 and/or comprises the sensor fiber 7. The needle thread arrangements 11 are spaced apart from each other along the stretching direction 12 and/or adjacent along the stretching direction 12. The knitted goods are loose and loosely arranged in the illustration of figure 3 a. By the needle-line arrangement and/or the loose arrangement of the sensor fibers, fewer contacts are closed to each other. If the resistance from contact point a to contact point B is measured, the resistance along the complete path of the sensor fiber 7 is measured.
Fig. 3b shows the sensor section 6 of fig. 3a in an extended state. The stretching takes place here along the stretching direction 12. By stretching along the stretching direction 12, the plurality of electrical contacts 13 has been closed. The electrical contacts 13 are in particular contacts for the sensor fibers 7 of the adjacent needle-line arrangement 11. The resistance measured from point a to point B decreases by the closing of the electrical contacts when stretched and/or when the sensor section 6 is extended. Since in this state the resistance is not measured along the entire path, since the resistance drops as a result of the short circuit due to the electrical contact 13 and as such the actual electrical path from point a to point B becomes smaller and/or shorter. On the basis of the reduced electrical resistance, stretching, deformation or stretching along the stretching direction 12 can be inferred. The resistance value between the points a and B can be provided as the electrical characteristic to the evaluation unit 10.
