Description

Interactive teaching aids

The present invention relates to an interactive teaching aid, particularly a structure for training hand-eye coordination and stability through throwing.

For people with disabilities or the elderly, it is often necessary to use teaching aids to train the coordination of hands and eyes in order to maintain or improve cognitive functions and daily living skills.

However, most of the current hand-eye coordination teaching aids require users to perform actions unilaterally, and the teaching aids themselves do not have interactive effects. Therefore, the interactivity of teaching aids needs to be valued and enhanced to improve the user's sense of participation and training effect.

In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the present invention provides an interactive teaching aid, which forms a throwing hole and a receiving space through a plurality of receiving parts magnetically attached to the connecting part, so that users can train hand-eye coordination and stability during the throwing process, so as to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology that it does not have an interactive effect.

The invention is an interactive teaching aid, which includes: a base, a throwing assembly, a magnetic attraction structure and a plurality of blocks; the base has a fixed part, a working area and a connecting part, the working area is located on one side of the fixed part, and the connecting part is arranged on the fixed part and located above the working area; the throwing assembly has a plurality of receiving parts, a containing space and a plurality of throwing holes, each of the receiving parts is detachably arranged around the connecting part, so that the throwing assembly is suspended in the working area, and each of the receiving parts surrounds the containing space, and each of the throwing holes is respectively located between two adjacent receiving parts and connected to the containing space. The receiving parts are connected to each other; the magnetic attraction structure is used to magnetically attract each receiving part to the connecting part; wherein the magnetic attraction structure is arranged between the connecting part and each receiving part, and the magnetic force of the magnetic attraction structure is greater than the weight of the receiving part; the block is used to be thrown into the accommodating space from the throwing hole; wherein, when the user accidentally touches the receiving part during the throwing process, and the external force of the touch is greater than the magnetic force of the magnetic attraction structure, the receiving part falls off from the connecting part, and when each of the blocks in the accommodating space reaches a predetermined number, so that the weight of each receiving part is greater than the magnetic force of the magnetic attraction structure, each receiving part falls off from the connecting part.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, which are preferred embodiments of the interactive teaching aid of the present invention, which include: a base 10, a throwing assembly 20, a magnetic attraction structure 30 and a plurality of blocks 40.

The base 10 has a fixing portion 11, a working area 12 and a connecting portion 13. The working area 12 and the connecting portion 13 are arranged on the same side of the fixing portion 11, the working area 12 is the space outside the fixing portion 11, and the connecting portion 13 is arranged above the working area 12. When the fixing portion 11 is fixed to a working surface (such as a desktop or the ground), the working area 12 is located between the connecting portion 13 and the working surface, so that the connecting portion 13 is suspended on one side of the fixing portion 11.

The throwing assembly 20 has a plurality of receiving parts 21, a receiving space S and a plurality of throwing holes 22. Each receiving part 21 is detachably mounted around the connecting portion 13 of the base 10, surrounding the receiving space S, and arranged in a bud-like appearance, so that the throwing assembly 20 is suspended in the working area 12, like a bud hanging on a branch. Among them, each throwing hole 22 is located between two adjacent receiving parts 21 and is connected to the receiving space S.

The magnetic attraction structure 30 is disposed between the connecting portion 13 of the base 10 and each receiving member 21 of the throwing assembly 20, and the magnetic force of the magnetic attraction structure is greater than the weight of the receiving member 21, so that each receiving member 21 can be magnetically attracted to the connecting portion 13 without the influence of external force.

Each block 40 is used to be thrown into the accommodating space S from the throwing hole 22 of the throwing assembly 20, and the hand-eye coordination of the user during the throwing process can be trained. For example, when the user accidentally touches the receiving part 21 during the throwing process, and the external force of the touch is greater than the magnetic force of the magnetic attraction structure 30, the touched receiving part 21 will fall off from the connecting part 13 of the base 10.

In addition, in addition to the situation of accidentally touching and falling, when the blocks 40 in the accommodation space S reach a predetermined number, so that the weight of each receiving member 21 is greater than the magnetic force of the magnetic attraction structure 30, each receiving member 21 will also fall off from the connecting portion 13 of the base 10 at the same time.

In this embodiment, the connecting portion 13 has a first end 131 and a second end 132, and the base 10 has a placement portion 14. The first end 131 is connected to the top of the fixing portion 11, and the second end 132 extends away from the fixing portion 11 to the top of the working area 12, and the magnetic attraction structure 30 is arranged between the second end 132 and each receiving member 21. The placement portion 14 is arranged on the other side of the fixing portion 11 relative to the connecting portion 13, and has a storage recess 141, which can temporarily store the block 40 for the user to take and throw.

In terms of appearance design, the fixing portion 11 of the base 10 is in the shape of a trunk, and the connecting portion 13 and the placing portion 14 extend from the two sides of the fixing portion 11 to form a branch shape. When the throwing assembly 20 is magnetically attracted to the second end 132 of the connecting portion 13, the appearance of the interactive teaching aid of the present invention is similar to a flower bud hanging on a branch.

In more detail, the receiving member 21 has an extension section 211 and an arc section 212. One end of the extension section 211 is magnetically attracted to the connecting portion 13 of the base 10 through the magnetic attraction structure 30, and the other end is connected to the arc section 212. In this embodiment, the two opposite sides of the extension section 211 each have an arc-shaped recess 211A; when each receiving member 21 is arranged around the connecting portion 13, the two arc-shaped recesses 211A between two adjacent receiving members 21 will correspond to each other and form a casting hole 22. In this embodiment, the number of receiving members 21 is four, so four casting holes 22 are formed, so that the user can throw the block 40 from the casting holes 22 in different directions.

In terms of structural design, the arc segment 212 protrudes from the outer side of the extension segment 211, and a groove 212A is provided on the inner side of the arc segment 212. For example, the arc segment 212 is in the shape of a thin shell, so that the outer curve of the arc segment 212 presents the shape of a petal. Therefore, when each receiving member 21 is arranged around the connecting portion 13, the shape of each arc segment 212 surrounds the shape of a bud, and the groove 212A of each arc segment 212 surrounds the accommodating space S.

In this embodiment, the magnetic attraction structure 30 has a first magnet 31 and a plurality of second magnets 32, and the second end 132 of the connecting portion 13 has an assembly groove 133. The first magnet 31 is disposed in the assembly groove 133 of the connecting portion 13, and each second magnet 32 is disposed on the extension section 211 of the receiving member 21, so that each extension section 211 is magnetically attracted to the outer periphery of the first magnet 31 through the second magnet 32 to be suspended on the connecting portion 13.

For example, the assembly groove 133 is recessed on the bottom surface of the second end 132, and the first magnet 31 is in a square block shape, and after being fixed to the bottom surface of the assembly groove 133 (for example, by gluing or snapping), there is a gap between the first magnet 31 and the side wall surface of the assembly groove 133. The second magnet 32 is disposed at one end of the extension section 211 away from the arc section 212 (for example, by gluing or snapping), and extends into the above-mentioned gap through the extension section 211, so that each second magnet 32 is magnetically attracted to the four side surfaces of the first magnet 31, thereby making the extension sections 211 of the four receiving parts 21 surround the outer periphery of the first magnet 31.

According to the above design, the user can systematically train hand-eye coordination through the interactive teaching aid of the present invention. During the training process, the user first obtains the block 40, and through the movement and control of the hand, as well as the eye focus, throws the block 40 one by one into the throwing hole 22, so that the block 40 accurately falls into the accommodating space S. It is worth mentioning that since the throwing assembly 20 and the throwing hole 22 are composed of a plurality of receiving members 21, during the throwing process, when the user's hand or the block 40 accidentally touches the receiving member 21 or the throwing hole 22, it may cause the receiving member 21 to shake or fall. Therefore, the user can easily confirm the stability of the throwing process by observing the state of the receiving member 21, and then train the user to maintain stable hand movements and throwing skills, thereby increasing hand-eye coordination ability and accuracy.

In addition, the interactive teaching aid of the present invention also includes an automatic detachment design. If the user remains stable during the throwing process and does not cause the receiving member 21 to fall, when the number of blocks 40 in the accommodating space S accumulates to a predetermined number, the weight of each block 40 will press on each receiving member 21, so that the weight of each receiving member 21 exceeds the magnetic force of the magnetic attraction structure 30, causing each receiving member 21 to fall off from the connecting portion 13. As shown in FIG6, when the number of blocks 40 in the accommodating space S accumulates to a predetermined number, the arc segment 212 of each receiving member 21 will be slightly propped open to produce a state like a flower bud blooming, and after falling, it will scatter with each block 40 on the work surface (desktop or ground). It is worth mentioning that automatic fall-off can be used as an indicator to remind users that they have completed a certain number of throws stably, which helps to evaluate the progress of training.

As shown in FIG. 7 , this is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference from the first embodiment is that the magnetic attraction structure 30 only has a first magnet 31 disposed in the assembly groove 133, and the extension section 211 of the receiving member 21 is a magnetic metal (such as iron). Therefore, there is no need to set up a separate magnet, and it can be directly magnetically attracted to the outer periphery of the first magnet 31, and the magnetic attraction between the casting assembly 20 and the connecting portion 13 can also be achieved.

In summary, the advantages and effects of the present invention can be summarized as follows:

[1] Training hand-eye coordination. The training method of the present invention combines hand movements, eye gaze and throwing skills, which can effectively train the user's hand-eye coordination ability and accuracy.

[2] Training stability. The interactive teaching aid of the present invention takes stability factors into consideration in its design. For example, when the hand or block accidentally touches the receiving piece, the user can confirm the stability of the throwing process by observing the state of the receiving piece, thereby cultivating hand stability and throwing skills.

From the above description, it can be seen that the interactive teaching aids of the present invention can be used by users to conduct hand-eye coordination training and stability training, and have an automatic detachment design, which helps users evaluate the progress of training.
