Definitions
- the present invention is an in-mouth electronic control and triggering technology for the physically handicapped, which enables them to operate various devices such as a wheelchair or a computer.
- the previous state of the art includes a palate plate with several light barriers installed on it, which switch by touching the tongue and thus only have digital functions. Problems in use are possible interference from sunlight and possibilities limited by the switches. Also known is a "mini joystick" guided with the tongue, the deflection direction, the deflection muscle and the pressure being interpreted in the axial direction. The problem is that these components have to be dosed correctly, which is not easy, tired and therefore no longer feasible.
- the present invention is an electronic control device located in the mouth, which is constructed by means of sensor plates and switching elements on a support element which is adapted to the conditions of the mouth.
- a movable organ e.g. teeth, tongue, cheeks
- Additional safety measures to prevent incorrect switching are constructed as sensor elements on the carrier element, which react to influences that do not normally occur in the mouth.
- Fig. 1 shows a support element adapted to the upper jaw with a built-up sensor and switching element.
- FIG. 2 shows the perspective view of the illustration in FIG. 1
- Fig. 3 shows a support element adapted to the lower jaw with built-up sensor and switching elements.
- FIG. 4 shows the representation depicted in FIG. 3 in use.
- the control and triggering technology for the physically handicapped in the mouth is an instrument which, depending on the circumstances of the handicap and the anatomical conditions, but also for the target application of the device to be operated, must be put together differently in order to make the handicap as independent as possible Enable working with equipment. It consists of a support 2 adapted to the oral conditions, ie the jaw, teeth and palate, on which sensor elements for main applications 1 and also for security purposes 4 are built. Since these react to a wide variety of properties, they must be selected in the way that the situation requires from the disability and the oral conditions. As sensor options, pressure, vacuum sensor, position sensor, acceleration sensor are preferred as the main sensor and sound, light, temperature, air flow, humidity, radio receiver level sensors are mainly used as safety sensors. The main sensor is operated with movable organs located in the mouth, such as the tongue, teeth, cheeks or lips.
- the carrier element can also be equipped with switching elements 3, which can be, for example, micro, foil and piezo switches which are mainly triggered by biting or touching the tongue or cheek.
- switching elements 3 can be, for example, micro, foil and piezo switches which are mainly triggered by biting or touching the tongue or cheek.
- the carrier element on the one hand on the upper jaw z. B are attached by a palate plate Fig. 1 + 2 and on the other hand are attached to the lower jaw e.g. by a bow-shaped support Fig. 3 + 4
- a sensor Fig.1.1 is built, which by scanning the tongue and biting on the switch Fig. 1.3 sends signals via a cable Fig. 1.0 to the device to be operated .
- a sensor Fig. 3.1 is built on the bracket-like carrier element Fig. 3, 2 and transmits signals by scanning with the tongue.
- two bite switches Fig. 3.3 are attached to a carrier web Fig. 3, a.
- a safety sensor Fig. 3.4 is built on the carrier element Fig. 3.2.
