Abstract

The present invention relates to a sensor-mounted cane for the visually impaired, which is a tool for a user to recognize a road by tapping irregularities of sidewalk blocks. The sensor-mounted cane for the visually impaired comprises: two color sensors (30) attached to both sides of the bottom of the cane; a distance sensor (40) attached to the front of the bottom; one wheel (50) attached to the bottom; one central control device (60) attached to the center of a rod; one battery (20) attached to the central control device; and one acoustic sensor attached to the central control device. As described above, the sensor-mounted cane for the visually impaired has an advantage that the user can easily find a way. In addition, the cane has an advantage of recognizing the ground surface and determining whether there is a cliff, and an advantage that the cane can be used in places where there are many people or things around.

Description

센서가 부착된 시각장애인용 지팡이{a sensor mounted blind cane} A sensor mounted blind cane for the blind

본 발명은 지팡이에 관한 것으로 더욱 상세하게는 유압실린더를 통해 쉽게 높낮이를 조절할 수 있는 목발에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a cane, and more particularly, to a crutch that can be easily adjusted in height through a hydraulic cylinder.

종래기술은 시각장애인용 지팡이로 길의 요철을 두드려서 시각장애인용 보도를 확인하는 방식인데 현재 길의 요철 부분이 많이 훼손되어 시각장애인용 보도의 위치 파악이 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 한국 등록 특허 제 1003880230000호 (2003.6.4)에는 시각장애인 안내용 전자감지 지팡이가 게시되어있다. 상술한 한국 특허의 경우 보행자가 혼잡한 환경에 있을 때 진행방향을 감지할 수 없으며 계속하여 위험상황이라 판단이 될 수 있기 때문에 사람이 밀집된 공간에서도 지면을 감지하여 출구를 찾을 수 있는 작동하는 목발을 만들어야할 필요성이 있음을 확신하게 되었다.The prior art is a method of checking the sidewalk for the visually impaired by tapping the irregularities of the road with a cane for the visually impaired. In order to solve the above problems, Korean Patent No. 1003880230000 (2003.6.4) discloses an electronic sensing stick for guiding the visually impaired. In the case of the above-mentioned Korean patent, when pedestrians are in a congested environment, the direction cannot be detected and it can be continuously judged to be a dangerous situation. I was convinced that there was a need to make it.

따라서, 본 발명은 전술한 종래의 보도블럭 인식의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로, 이러한 본 발명의 목적은 사용자의 안전을 위하여 거리 및 보도블럭 인식하는데 도움을 주기 위한 센서가 부착된 시각장애인용 지팡이를 제공함에 있다. Accordingly, the present invention has been devised to solve the problem of the conventional sidewalk block recognition described above, and an object of the present invention is for the visually impaired with a sensor to help recognize the street and sidewalk block for the safety of the user. To provide a cane.

본 발명은 하단 양 옆에 부착된 두 개의 색감지센서(30)와, 하단 정면에 부착된 거리감지센서(40)와, 하단에 부착된 하나의 바퀴(50)와, 막대 중앙에 부착된 하나의 중앙제어장치(60)와, 상기 중앙제어장치에 부착된 하나의 배터리(20) 및 상기 중앙제어장치에 부착된 하나의 음향센서를 포함하여 구성된다.The present invention includes two color sensor 30 attached to both sides of the bottom, a distance sensor 40 attached to the front of the bottom, one wheel 50 attached to the bottom, and one attached to the center of the bar of the central controller 60, one battery 20 attached to the central controller, and one acoustic sensor attached to the central controller.

상술한 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 센서가 부착된 시각장애인용 지팡이에 의하면, 사용자가 보다 쉽게 길을 찾을 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 또한 지면을 인식하여 낭떠러지의 유무를 파악할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 또한 주위에 사람이나 사물이 많은 곳에서도 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.As described above, according to the cane for the visually impaired to which the sensor according to the present invention is attached, there is an advantage that the user can more easily find the way. In addition, it has the advantage of being able to recognize the presence of a cliff by recognizing the ground. It also has the advantage that it can be used in places where there are many people or things around.
