The present invention relates to an intelligent developmental toy, in particular to an intelligent developmental toy based on machine addressing.
In order to develop children's intelligence and rationally control their gaming time, a large number of toys of tangram, puzzle, chess, letter spelling and early educational calculation are on the market now. Among them, tangram toys and puzzle toys can cultivate children's imagination, chess toys can cultivate children's logical ability, and early educational products such as letter and number calculation can cultivate children's comprehensive foundation and calculation ability. These developmental toy products are loved by a large number of users, but there is a problem, that is, these toys cannot achieve automatic addressing and judgment. Addressing refers to position judgment, so a third party is needed. In most cases, children cannot play with this kind of developmental toys alone, especially military chess, etc. In the process of playing dark chess, a third party is required to interpret. So, how to propose a new technical solution to this problem, realize automatic addressing/position judgment, and then solve the pain points in the industry is undoubtedly one of the development directions of developmental toys.
The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an intelligent developmental toy based on machine addressing, aiming to realize the automatic identification function of the identity and position of developmental toy products, thereby reducing the usage limitation and facilitating the promotion and application of the product.
In this regard, the present invention provides an intelligent developmental toy based on machine addressing, including: an identification module set, a silk screen layer and a toy module set. The silk screen layer is mounted on the identification module set. The identification module set includes a main control module, a multi-way switch module, a power management module, a signal amplification module and a resonance identification module. The power management module is connected with the main control module. The resonance identification module is connected to the main control module through the multi-way switch module. The signal amplification module is connected to the main control module and the multi-way switch module respectively. The toy module set includes a plurality of toy modules. Each toy module is provided with at least one resonance circuit module. The resonance circuit module is used for representing an identity of a uniquely corresponding toy module, and matching with the resonance identification module of the identification module set.
A further improvement of the present invention is that, each resonance identification module includes a plurality of X-axis circuits and a plurality of Y-axis circuits, wherein intersection points between X-axis circuits and Y-axis circuits are coordinate points of the resonance identification module; the plurality of X-axis circuits and the plurality of Y-axis circuits are respectively connected to the multi-way switch module.
A further improvement of the present invention is that, each resonance circuit module includes an inductor and a capacitor connected in series. Different toy modules are same in the inductor but different in the capacitor. Each toy module includes a fixed resonance frequency corresponding thereto, and this serves as the identity of the toy module; when the toy module is placed on the resonance identification module, the main control module sends square waves in a preset frequency range to the X-axis circuits and the Y-axis circuits of the resonance identification module through the multi-way switch module until the sent frequency is same as the fixed resonance frequency of the current toy module, then resonance is generated to charge the capacitor, thereby identifying the identity and the coordinate point of the current toy module.
A further improvement of the present invention is that, a same toy module includes at least one independently arranged resonance circuit modules with same fixed resonance frequency, so as to identify the identity, coordinate point and placement direction of the toy module.
A further improvement of the present invention is that, the signal amplification module includes a transmitting and receiving conversion circuit, a first amplification circuit, a second amplification circuit and a integral circuit, wherein the transmitting and receiving conversion circuit is connected to the second amplification circuit through the first amplification circuit; the second amplification circuit is connected to the integral circuit and the main control module; both the first amplification circuit and the second amplification circuit are two-stage amplification circuits.
A further improvement of the present invention is that, the multi-way switch module includes a plurality of switch control chips. Chip select pins of the plurality of switch control chips are mutually connected in parallel and then connected to the main control module.
A further improvement of the present invention is that, the power management module includes a lithium battery management circuit and a battery switch control circuit, wherein the lithium battery management circuit and the battery switch control circuit are connected to the main control module respectively.
A further improvement of the present invention is that, the toy module set includes any one kind or multiple kinds of tangram module set, puzzle module set, chess module set, alphabet puzzle and early educational calculation module set.
A further improvement of the present invention is that, the identification module set further includes an LCD display module, wherein the LCD display module is connected to the main control module and the power management module respectively.
A further improvement of the present invention is that, the identification module set further includes a flash memory module, wherein the flash memory module is connected to the main control module and the power management module respectively.
Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: in the identification module set, the resonance identification module is connected to the main control module through the multi-way switch module, thereby being capable of receiving square wave signals in different frequencies. When the frequency of the square wave signals received by the resonance identification module is the same as the fixed resonance frequency of the current toy module, the resonance is generated to charge the capacitor of the resonance circuit module, so as to identify the coordinate point of the current toy module; on this basis, the signal amplification module is respectively connected to the main control module and the multi-way switch module, thereby being capable of amplifying the small signal through multi-stage amplification to form a voltage of 1-3V, and send it to the main control module; in addition, the toy module includes a plurality of toy modules, each of which is provided with at least one resonance circuit module; the resonance circuit module is used for representing the identity of the uniquely corresponding toy module, and matching with the resonance identification module of the identification module.

As shown in
The identification module set 1 described in this embodiment refers to a working base of the intelligent developmental toy, in which a circuit board is provided for matching and identifying the toy module set 3, realizing machine addressing, that is, realizing automatic identification of the identity and position of the toy module set 3. The silk screen layer 2 refers to a silk screen decorative surface mounted on the identification module set 1 (working base), and the toy module set 3 includes any one kind or multiple kinds of tangram module set, puzzle module set, chess module set, and early educational calculation module set. For example, when the toy module set 3 is a tangram module set, the silk screen layer 2 is an assembly plane of the tangram; when the toy module set 3 is a chess module set, the silk screen layer 2 is the chess grid plane for playing chess.

The LCD display module 106 is connected to the main control module 101 and the power management module 103 respectively, and the flash memory module 107 is connected to the main control module 101 and the power management module 103 respectively, so as to be able to well realize the functions of LCD display and data flash memory.

Although the electromagnetic field is invisible and intangible, when a circuit/coil emits a square wave signal in a certain frequency, an electromagnetic field will be formed and electromagnetic waves will be output; the coil placed directly above it will receive this electromagnetic wave. When the fixed resonance frequency of the coil directly above is same as the frequency below, the amplitude of the coil directly above will increase exponentially, that is, resonance will occur. The coil above will also generate electromagnetic waves. The larger the amplitude, the greater the corresponding induced electromotive force.
In the vertical and horizontal coordinates of the resonance identification module 105 described in this embodiment, multiple circuits are arranged in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively, each circuit is a corresponding coil, and each coil is independent. For example, the fifth vertical coordinate from left to right sends a square wave signal, that is, the fifth Y-axis circuit 1052 sends a square wave signal. When the resonance circuit module 302 of the toy module 301 above stays here, the fifth Y-axis circuit 1052 will receive the electromotive force generated by the resonance circuit module 302 of the toy module 301 above, so it can be determined that the position of the toy module 301 at this time is located at the fifth vertical coordinate. Similarly, the horizontal coordinate where the toy module 301 is located can be obtained, so that the position of the toy module 301 can be automatically determined, and the machine addressing can be well realized.
Of course, it is not enough to just realize position identification, because the same toy module 3 may include multiple toy modules 301, such as a tangram includes multiple tangram modules in different shapes and sizes; therefore, each toy module 3 also needs to be identified.
As shown in
When the toy module 301 is placed on the resonance identification module 105, the main control module 101 sends a square wave of a preset frequency range to the X-axis circuits 1051 and the Y-axis circuits 1052 of the resonance identification module 105 through the multi-way switch module 102. The square wave of the preset frequency range preferably adopts a square wave of 120 KHz˜1000 kHz frequency. In practical applications, it can also be set and adjusted according to actual needs; until the sent frequency is the same as the fixed resonance frequency of the current toy module 301, resonance is generated to charge the capacitor in the resonance circuit module 302, so as to identify the identity and coordinate point of the current toy module 301. Among them, the identification process of the coordinate point has been described above, that is, machine addressing is realized; and for the identification of the identity, an identity identification table can be preset, and the identity identification table is used for storing the identity of the toy module 301 and its unique corresponding fixed resonance frequency. After obtaining the fixed resonance frequency of the current toy module 301, the identity of the toy module 301 can be quickly obtained by querying the identity identification table. The advantage of such a design of this embodiment is that the toy module 301 does not need to be equipped with a power supply, and a wireless induction method is adopted between the toy module 301 and the resonance identification module 105, which is similar to wireless induction charging. The principle is simple to implement and the game process is less limited.
As shown in
When the resonance identification module 105 fills the capacitor of the resonance circuit module 302, it stops and the resonance identification module 105 becomes a receiving board, because the corresponding capacitor is already fully charged. Therefore, the capacitor is discharged, and the LC oscillation circuit of the resonance circuit module 302 continues to oscillate at a fixed frequency. At this time, the X-axis circuit 1051 and the Y-axis circuit 1052 at the location of the corresponding toy module 301 can sense a certain electromotive force. This electromotive force is very weak, so it is necessary to form a voltage of 1 v˜3.2 v after four-stage amplification in the subsequent signal amplification module 104; the ordinate and abscissa corresponding to the X-axis circuit 1051 and the Y-axis circuit 1052 have been connected to the AD conversion pin of the CPU through the PCB board in the prefabricated circuit, and the x-axis and y-axis with the highest modulus value obtained after AD conversion (i.e. analog-to-digital conversion) can be determined as the position of the corresponding toy module 301.
In practical applications, when the main control module 101 of this embodiment sends a square wave signal at a certain frequency, an array can be set first, and various frequencies can be put into the array. According to the size, the square wave signal with the smallest frequency is first transmitted. If the corresponding chess piece or other toy module 301 that can generate resonance is on the resonance identification module 105 (working base), discharge will be generated, and the maximum AD conversion value of the x-axis and y-axis will be found out through checking CPU or single-chip microcomputer, and then the row number and column number are recorded. This is the position of the toy module 301. If there is no working toy module 301, it means that the corresponding toy module 301 is not on the resonance identification module 105. Then change to the next frequency, and continue to find whether there is a corresponding toy module 301, and so on until the scanning is completed or the corresponding toy module 301 is found out.
After the identity and position of the toy module 301 are determined, it means that the toy module 301 is determined, and the remaining thing is to arrange it. In this embodiment, the arrangement of various toy modules 301 can be pre-stored in the flash memory module 107 (FLASH), and then by comparing with the database of the flash memory module 107, it is quickly determined whether the arrangement order of the toy modules 301 is correct. Regarding this point, since the existing method can be used, it will not be described in detail.

Next, this embodiment will introduce and illustrate different types of toy modules 3.
Regarding letters, numbers and chess pieces, generally in the game, these products only need to detect their identity and position, and the angle is not considered. Therefore, each letter, number and chess piece only corresponds to one toy module 301. Take numbers as an example: when the display screen shows 2+3=? on the working base of the resonance identification module 105, if the number 5 is placed, because the toy module 301 of the number 5 is provided with a resonance circuit module 302, the resonance identification module 105 will determine whether the identity of the current toy module 301 corresponds to 5. If so, it is judged to be correct and the next one will be carried out; if not, a prompt will be issued until the correct toy module 301 of the number 5 is placed. Take letters as an example: if the display screen shows the Chinese word for apple, and requires the corresponding word to be spelled out; then, it will automatically identify that they are all 5 toy modules 301 corresponding to apples placed in order.
It is worth noting that the above examples do not consider the direction. However, in actual intelligent developmental toys, some need to consider the directionality of placement, such as tangrams, which not only need to identify identity and position, but also need to identify angles. Therefore, this embodiment takes the triangle block as an example. As shown in

In summary, in the identification module set 1 of this embodiment, the resonance identification module 105 is connected to the main control module 101 through the multi-way switch module 102, so as to receive square wave signals in different frequencies. When the frequency of the square wave signal received by the resonance identification module 105 is the same as the fixed resonance frequency of the current toy module 301, resonance is generated to charge the capacitor of the resonance circuit module 302, so as to identify the coordinate point of the current toy module 301; on this basis, the signal amplification module 104 is respectively connected to the main control module 101 and the multi-way switch module 102, so as to amplify the small signal through multi-stage amplification to form a voltage of 1-3V and send it to the main control module 101; in addition, the toy module set 3 includes a plurality of toy modules 301, and each toy module 301 is provided with at least one resonance circuit module 302; the resonance circuit module 302 is used for representing the identity of the unique corresponding toy module 301, and matching with the resonance identification module 105 of the identification module 1.
Therefore, this embodiment can not only quickly identify the identity of the current toy module 301 through the identification module 1, and accurately determine the coordinate point/position of the toy module 301 to realize the automatic machine addressing function, but also can be compatible with various developmental toy products such as tangram module set, puzzle module set, chess module set, letter module set, and early educational calculation module set, and can further realize their direction recognition. This embodiment can effectively reduce the use limitations of the product, improve the intelligent level of the product, and facilitate the promotion and application of the product.
