Embodiment
The bend sensor technology is the core technology of data glove, requires it should have lightly, and is flexible good, characteristics such as reliability height.The bend sensor of the quick principle of the power that is based on that the utility model adopts.Shown in Figure 1 is the structural drawing of this sensor, and this novel bend sensor mainly is made up of following three parts: force-sensitive material 1, flexible PCB 2, elastic packaging material 3.On the flexible PCB 2 of sheet bar shaped, be provided with two copper conductors parallel to each other 4, be coated on the major part of flexible PCB 2 with force-sensitive material 1, coat one deck elastic packaging material 3 again on force-sensitive material 1, flexible PCB 2 is remained in office an end outside, so that lead 4 is connected with external circuit.
Force-sensitive material 1 is the sensitive element of this sensor, and it covers on the flexible PCB 2 with two row copper conductor 4 parallel to each other.The outermost layer of bend sensor has wrapped up one deck resilient material 3, when bend sensor is bent, elastic deformation takes place in outer elastic packaging material 3, thereby produces the stress that is applied on the force-sensitive material 1 at sensor internal, and therefore the resistance of force-sensitive material 1 changes.The variation of this resistance can be transformed into electric signal output by the external signal change-over circuit that links to each other with parallel wire 4.This sensor has following characteristic:
1) pliable and tough
The all material that this bend sensor adopted all has good flexibility, so it is easy to bending, can not influence the activity in hand joint.
2) light and handy
This sensor thickness is 1.2mm, can be made into different sizes as required, since light and handy, so its sensor as data glove can not felt any discomfort to wearer.
3) reliable
The bend sensor that the utility model adopts can stand tens thousand of times bending and remain intact.
In actual applications, this bend sensor can be simplified as a conversion.Shown in Figure 2 is circuit theory diagrams.When being connected bend sensor on the constant pressure source, the variation of the bending of sensor makes its resistance change, thereby changes the voltage output value of follower, and big more its voltage output value of angle of bend is also big more.If allow bend sensor keep certain angle constant, voltage output will keep constant.The input/output relation of bend sensor has the better linearity degree, according to the initial value of bend sensor output and ultimate value with and pairing angle of bend just can draw the bend sensor input/output relation by linear interpolation, and this relational application is arrived among the measurement of joint angles.Before the measurement, can obtain higher measuring accuracy through suitable calibrating procedure.
Fig. 3 is the layout of bend sensor.The utility model is at 16 bend sensors of the inner installation of gloves, and 10 bend sensors wherein are used to detect IP, MP joint and other four PIP and MCP joint that refers to of thumb; 4 bend sensors are used to detect the angle between adjacent finger; Other 2 bend sensors are respectively applied for and detect palm and carpal angle of bend.These bend sensors can come out the measurement of angle in the main joint of staff.Output by data acquisition among Fig. 5 and control module are gathered these sensors in real time passes to virtual reality system through filtering, calculating back by serial communication interface again, makes virtual hand follow the variation of operator's gesture real-time and accurately.
Shown in Figure 4 is oscillatory type tactile feedback unit.This vibration unit comprises a cylinder blanket and a base.Built-in miniature vibrating motor in the right cylinder.The diameter of vibrating motor is 6mm, and maximum speed reaches 7200 rev/mins.The vibration unit volume that the utility model adopts is less, can be installed in to refer to the belly position, and this layout is consistent with the position that staff contact object produces sense of touch.In addition, vibration unit has an arc-shaped base, and it has increased the contact area of vibration unit and people's skin of hand, and what make staff feels more vivid.By control, can make oscillatory type tactile feedback unit simulation go out three kinds of sensations: attack, touch and mechanical vibration to current of electric.Employing can strengthen the feeling of immersion of operator in the virtual reality system greatly based on the tactile feedback mode of vibration.
The utility model has adopted twin-axis accelerometer ADXL202 based on the MEMS technology as obliquity sensor.This sensor has that volume is little, and measurement range is big, characteristics such as precision height.Microprocessor in the utility model is tried to achieve the angle of pitch and the roll angle of arm according to the digital output of two measurement axis of ADXL202, and passes to virtual reality system.
Shown in Figure 5 is data acquisition of the present utility model and control module.It mainly comprises five parts: bend sensor signaling conversion circuit, obliquity sensor, COM port, tactile feedback driving circuit, TMS320LF2407 DSP (digital signal processor), and this five part is electrically connected; Wherein, bend sensor is electrically connected on bend sensor signaling conversion circuit to A/D input port, the tactile feedback vibration unit of digital signal processor and is electrically connected on the CAP input port that tactile feedback driving circuit, obliquity sensor are electrically connected on digital signal processor, and signals collecting links to each other with computing machine by the computer serial communication interface with the COM port of control module; Signals collecting and control module are located at the wrist top of gloves outside.
DSP is the core processing unit of total system, it passes through A/D converting unit and CAP port processing to the output of the output of 16 curved way sensor signal change-over circuits and two measurement axis of ADXL202 respectively to processor inside, through by serial communication interface the current sampled value of sensor being passed to the computing machine or the workstation of operation virtual reality system behind the digital filtering.When virtual hand and dummy object were had an effect, computing machine or workstation passed to DSP to feedback information by serial communication interface, and the vibrating motor that is driven the tactile feedback unit by DSP gives the operator with tactile feedback.
Data glove with haptic feedback functions of the present utility model both can be from the computing machine power taking, also can external power supply.More convenient concerning the user from the direct power taking of computing machine.
