Description

The utility model relates to the industry of educational games, namely, to the field of children's designers, and can be used as part of an interactive training complex with elements of design, circuitry, electrical engineering, chemistry, drawing, used for entertainment and education of children at home, and also in kindergartens and schools.

The widespread use of computer gaming and educational programs, despite their undoubted advantages, has a number of disadvantages. Firstly, the use of monitors in computer games leads to a harmful effect on children of x-ray and lepton radiation, and a long time spent at the monitor leads to poor vision of the child. Secondly, computer programs do not leave room for the child’s creativity, since the game program has already been set and all possible situations have been modeled in advance. Thirdly, the drawing of the game unfolds on a relatively small screen, is virtual in nature and there is no possibility of physical movement of objects during the game.

Children's designers, widely enough produced by the industry, are devoid of these shortcomings.

A well-known designer, made in the form of a two- or three-dimensional puzzle, the elements of which, if correctly installed, form an electric circuit from the electrically conductive tracks formed in the elements (from wires or metal tapes or an electrically conductive composition) connected to a current source and a light and / or sound indicator designed for the formation of a light and / or sound signal with the correct assembly of the puzzle (Application US No. 14607439 from 01/28/2015, publ. 05/21/2015 under No.US20150137448).

The analogue is partly interesting because of the ability of users to develop elements of planar and spatial combinatorics, but mainly for an entertaining effect. The disadvantages of the above analogue include the impossibility of its use as an interactive training complex with design elements, circuitry and electrical engineering.

The disadvantages inherent in the above analogue are deprived of the training complex “Electrified Postcard” (Training and Methodology, Tatyana Nikolaevna Kuzovleva’s Blog, DIY Postcard with DIY LEDs. Workshop with step-by-step photos [Electronic resource]. - Access mode: https: / /ped-kopilka.ru/blogs/tatjana-nikolaevna-kuzovleva/yelektrificirovanaja-otkrytka-ko-dnyu-pozhilogo-cheloveka.html, free - (03/22/2019). The principle of operation of such a card is simple. Each time you open or press the switch button (depending on the device of the microcircuit), the electric circuit closes, and the built-in LEDs start to glow. The best effect can be achieved if you use light components that can change their colors, i.e. the same LED can alternately flash red, then blue, then green. The color scheme may be different. It depends on what colors the LED is programmed for. To make an electrified postcard, use The next component set (constructor) is included: sheets of decorative cardboard (A4 format), double adhesive tape, a graphic row (templates of figures, pictures, coloring, etc.), mounting insulating wire 0.02 cm (60-70 cm), 3 3 Volt LEDs, 270-330 Ohm resistors, 12 Volt galvanic battery, insulation tape, microswitch. Thus, unlike the previous analogue, the children's designer “Electrified Postcard” has the ability to be used as an interactive training complex with design elements, circuitry and electrical engineering.

Nevertheless, the training complex “Electrified Postcard” has its significant drawbacks, which include the use of a wired circuitry, perceived by students as a kind of anachronism in the age of printed and microcircuitry, in addition, a wired circuitry negatively affects the overall and aesthetic aspects of the constructed object.

The famous designer of the Circuit Scribe company Electroninks (MAD ROBOTS RU [Electronic resource]. - Access mode: https://madrobots.ru/blog/post/circuit-scribe-review/, free - (03/22/2019), including a flat substrate ( framed in the form of a booklet with printed electrical circuits) with a one-sided electrical circuit applied to it, including locations of functional electrical elements and marking lines for applying conductive tracks, a set of functional electrical elements included in the mentioned electrical circuit (LEDs, switch, battery, etc. .) in a modular design, designed to be mounted on a substrate and made in the form of boards with electrical elements placed on them on one side and contact elements for interacting with electrically conductive tracks and a tool (ballpoint pen or felt-tip pen) or another) with a conductive composition refueled in it, intended for forming on the substrate of said electrically conductive tracks connecting the contact elements of the functional electrical elements into an active electrical circuit. The main purpose of Circuit Scribe is to educate children and master the basic skills of building electrical circuits.

The disadvantages of the analogue include the lack of training opportunities, due to the lack of a game component in the form of design elements, the inadequacy of the actions in the designer to develop mechanical, drawing-art and other practical skills.

The closest analogue to the claimed technical solution - the prototype - is a design for modeling, made in the form of a substrate, including three layers bonded to each other, the first of which is a back with an unilaterally applied electrical circuit on it - made with slots for placement of functional electric circuit boards in them elements and is equipped with contact pads deposited on it in the area where the contact elements of the boards are connected with electrically conductive tracks, the second layer, the intermediate one, is made with grooves for placing electrical elements in them to form a supporting platform for their boards, and the third layer, the front one, is made with functionally transparent windows at the joints with the corresponding electrical elements and a pictorial row formed on its front part, while the design for modeling is equipped with clamps, each of which is designed to be fixed on the back layer of the substrate with overlapping part of the corresponding contact area plate and contact element of the corresponding functional electrical element with fixing the board of the latter relative to the substrate (RF patent No. 2710688 C1, A63H 33/00, publ. 01/09/2020).

The prototype is devoid of the inherent disadvantages of the above analogs, however, as practice shows, both the prototype and analogues have a common disadvantage, namely, low reliability due to violation of the integrity of the electrically conductive tracks, due to the low rigidity of the substrate, allowed by the structure, the bends of which during operation form tensile / compressive / bending loads in the substrate (in particular, in its back layer) and are a cause of violation of the integrity of the electrically conductive tracks.

The problem solved by the claimed technical solution is to increase the rigidity of the substrate.

The technical result is to increase the reliability of the structure for modeling by ensuring the integrity of the electrically conductive tracks by increasing the rigidity of the substrate.

The problem posed is solved, and the claimed technical result is achieved by the fact that in the design for modeling, made in the form of a substrate, including three layers bonded to each other, the first of which is a rear with an unilaterally applied electrical circuit on it, made with grooves for placing boards in them functional electrical elements and is equipped with contact pads deposited on it in the joint zone of the contact elements of the boards with electrically conductive tracks, the second layer, the intermediate one, is made with grooves for placement of electric elements in them to form a supporting platform for their boards, and the third layer, the front one, is made with functionally transparent windows in places of articulation with the corresponding electrical elements and a fine row formed on its front part, the front layer of the substrate is provided with a rigid frame with the formation of a cavity from the side of the intermediate and back layers, the contour of which is identical to the inner contour of the framework.

The claimed design for modeling is the basic element of the designer and is made in the form of a substrate, which includes three bonded (for example, bonded) layers between themselves: the back layer 1, the intermediate layer 2 and the front layer 3 (see Fig. 1-6). In addition to the prefabricated substrate, the designer includes functional electrical elements in a modular design, made in the form of circuit boards 4 with electrical elements placed on them on one side, such as, but not limited to: switch 5, LED 6, battery 7, and on the other hand contact elements 8 intended for interaction with electrically conductive tracks 9, represented by marking lines 10 for their application. In addition, the designer can be equipped with a tool with an electrically conductive composition refueling into it to form said electrically conductive tracks 9 on the substrate, connecting the contact elements 8 of the functional electrical elements into an active electrical circuit.

The assembly of the designer on the basis of the claimed design for modeling is as follows. According to a utility model, the substrate includes three layers bonded to each other, the first of which is the back layer 1 with the electric circuit applied to it, made with grooves 11 for placement of boards 4 of functional electrical elements in them and equipped with contact pads 12 in the contact articulation zone elements 8 of boards 4 with electrically conductive tracks 9. The second layer 2, intermediate, is made with grooves 13 for accommodating electrical elements in them, including, but not limited to, switch 5, LED 6 and battery 7 with the formation of a support platform for their boards 4. Third layer 3 — front — is made with functionally transparent windows 14 at the points of articulation with the corresponding electrical elements and a graphic row 15 formed on its front part (for example, in the form of a geographical map — Fig. 1). Functionally transparent windows in this case are, for example, a hole for providing the user with mechanical contact with the switch, holes or translucent inserts for the visual perception of LED radiation, holes (as an option with a mesh insert) or perforations for transmitting sound if the designer contains audio element (speaker), etc. Graphic series 15 can be presented in both flat and three-dimensional form, by analogy with the above analogues, and does not need additional explanations.

All three layers of the substrate (the number of layers is indicated functionally, in fact, each of them in turn can consist of several bonded / glued layers to, for example, provide the required functional - to accommodate the board and / or electrical element - thickness) are bonded / glued between by myself. Bonding / gluing is preceded by the operations of forming the image row 15 and windows 14 on the front of the layer 3, forming / attaching a rigid frame 19 on the back of the layer 3, forming grooves 13 in the intermediate layer 2 and forming grooves 11, contact pads 12 and marking lines 10 for applying electrically conductive tracks 9 on the back layer 1. All and / or any part of these operations can be performed either directly by users using improvised and / or professional tools and methods, or at the stage of production of a designer using modern industrial technologies. Correct mutual orientation of the layers (basing) is provided by a frame 19 bonded to the front layer 3 with a cavity, the inner contour of which is made identical to the outer contours of the intermediate 2 and back 1 layers of the substrate. Thus, in the process of bonding, layers 1 and 2 are simply laid in the cavity formed by the back of layer 3 and frame 19. Immediately, we note that frame 19 can be made whole or prefabricated from, for example, wood, plastic, etc., can be formed from the pre-formed peripheral zone 16 by folding along the fold lines 17, as shown in FIG. 7, or in another known manner. Then, the electrical elements located on the respective boards 4, including, but not limited to, the switch 5, the LED 6 and the battery 7, are inserted into the corresponding grooves 13 with the placement of the corresponding boards 4 in the grooves 11. Next, the latches 18, mounted on the back layer 1 of the substrate, overlap with the formation of electrical contact parts of the corresponding contact pads 12 and contact element 8 of each corresponding functional electrical element with fixing the board 4 of the latter relative to the substrate. The most convenient and inexpensive embodiment of the said latch 18 is a strip of electrically conductive tape. Adhesive tape may not be electrically conductive, but in this case, the corresponding contact pad 12 and contact element 8 must be electrically connected (for example, by a deposited electrically conductive composition) before installing the latch 18, or the latch 18 (see Fig. 5) must be made through window 18I with access to the junction of the contact pad 12 and the contact element 8. The contact pads 12 and contact elements 8, it is rational to perform from the electrically conductive composition deposited respectively on the substrate or board. The lines for applying the electrically conductive tracks of the designer can be performed with non-electrically conductive or electrically conductive material, as is done in the prototype.

Work with the designer in real conditions is identical to the prototype and does not require additional explanation. However, the presence of a rigid frame 19 structurally eliminates significant bending of the substrate during operation and excludes tensile / compressive / bending loads in the substrate (in particular, in its back layer), under the influence of which a violation of the integrity of the electrically conductive tracks was observed in the prototype. By experiments this statement is fully confirmed.

The foregoing allows us to conclude that the problem solved by the utility model — increasing the rigidity of the substrate — has been solved, and the claimed technical result — improving the reliability of the child’s designer by ensuring the integrity of the electrically conductive tracks by increasing the rigidity of the substrate — has been achieved.
