    [0002] Modular system of representation of network topologies for the blind
    [0003]
    [0004] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
    [0005]
    [0006] The present invention relates to a modular system for representing network topologies, in particular, for teaching or educational purposes for blind or visually impaired people.
    [0007]
    [0008] Nowadays it is a great challenge to provide an inclusive education to blind or visually impaired students and that teachers can teach with the same scope and potential as other students. Although technical aids by tactile means are well known in the state of the art, the number and type of these aids as well as their availability and adequacy to blind or visually impaired students is unfortunately scarce.
    [0009]
    [0010] The field of technique that collects these aids is called typhotechnic. Some of these known aids are, for example, pattern and punch, Perkins machine, Braille printers, positive or negative drawing boards, Fuser oven, etc. It is also well known to adapt materials commonly used by seers for the blind or visually impaired, for example, drawing materials that are provided with reliefs for handling and that enable relief drawing.
    [0011]
    [0012] The problem of adapting teaching materials visually to the needs of a blind or visually impaired student implies not only the need for the student to receive the information but also to transmit it, making it possible to exchange information bi-directionally between teacher and student, being also this fast and efficient exchange.
    [0013]
    [0014] The use of Braille greatly facilitates teaching, allowing satisfactory exchange of textual information, reading or writing texts. However, especially for disciplines in which it is necessary or convenient to use graphics or graphical representations with figures or signs other than text such as, for example, in science or engineering, the known typhotechnical aids are not satisfactory enough. This is because the exchange of information is either not effective, no It can be done as, for example, through the exclusive use of Braille, or that many times it cannot be done efficiently, fast enough or agile, simple and / or comfortable for the teacher or student, for example, through known aids consisting of printing or drawing figures in relief on boards or sheets.
    [0015]
    [0016] In the teaching of certain subjects, graphics or graphical representations constituted by the so-called network topologies are frequently used. By topology it is possible to understand the way in which different constituent components or elements are interconnected, interrelated or relatively arranged with each other. In a network topology, the different components are interconnected by configuring a network-shaped figure.
    [0017]
    [0018] An example of a network topology is an electrical or electronic circuit. Naturally, for example, for the teaching of electrical circuit theory, the representation of electrical circuits is necessary. Other examples of network topologies are other types of circuits such as hydraulic, pneumatic, etc. Examples of network topologies are structures, mechanisms, thermodynamic system diagrams, block diagrams, etc.
    [0019]
    [0020] The network topologies are represented with interconnected lines and blocks by means of the lines forming the network. Each block has an associated information representing, for example, a real component of the network topology. For example, an electrical circuit is a network topology in which different electrical components (voltage or current source, resistance, capacitance, inductance, impedance, etc.) are represented by blocks, each block having information indicating, by example, the type of electrical component it represents.
    [0021]
    [0022] RU 2101773 C1 discloses a modular system for building real electronic circuits for teaching or educational purposes. The system consists of a set of elements in the form of modular cubic blocks, each of which incorporates an electronic component (resistors, light bulbs, diodes, etc.). These blocks can be interconnected following a specific electrical scheme to build the desired circuit and obtain the desired functionality. The connection between blocks is made through connectors located on the sides of the blocks that allow adjacent blocks to fit together. The blocks are provided with information on the type of electronic component that they incorporate, recognizable both visually and tactilely and in the form of relief on their front. Also, the blocks may be provided with an identification, consisting of a series of points, also in the form of relief and in its frontal part, to uniquely identify blocks with the same information, recognizable both visually and tactilely.
    [0023]
    [0024] The invention disclosed in the aforementioned document has the disadvantage that it requires a large number of block types or components for the construction of different electronic circuits or, in other words, the number of electronic circuits that can be built or formed is limited. On the other hand, its assembly and handling are complex and have a high degree of rigidity and immobility, since the replacement of one component by another requires the disconnection and connection of the adjacent block connectors for which it is necessary to separate a high number of components, which consumes time and complicates its use for the blind student. For the replacement of a component, for example, if it is damaged, stops working or is lost, it is necessary to have spare parts for each electrical component.
    [0025]
    [0026] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
    [0027]
    [0028] The present invention aims to provide a modular system of representation of network topologies for blind people that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art. The invention makes possible an exchange of information in an efficient, fast or agile, simple and / or comfortable way for the teacher (sighted) or the blind or visually impaired student. This exchange is bidirectional between the teacher and the student.
    [0029]
    [0030] This objective is achieved with the invention by the system of claim 1. The dependent claims specify preferred embodiments of the system.
    [0031]
    [0032] Also, in general, the system of the invention facilitates the practice of designing or interpreting network topologies, for example, electrical circuits, for the blind or visually impaired student. The system is not only effective in itself to teach, but it is also convenient to transport and store, so as to facilitate, for example, the exchange between teachers and students of information on network topologies previously represented by the student, or that the student can easily manipulate the system to produce different representations of network topologies as a practice for their study.
    [0033]
    [0034] More specifically, the system of the invention is a modular system of representation of network topologies, comprising at least one information element, at least one support element and at least one connection element. These elements constitute the modules of the modular system.
    [0035]
    [0036] The information element has a recognizable information both visually and tactilely. The information element is bearable in the support element. The connection elements are configured to interconnect support elements in combination forming a plurality of models of network topologies in which at least one support element supports an information element. These models obtainable with the modular system constitute the representation of a network topology, for example, an electrical circuit.
    [0037]
    [0038] Thus, the support element represents a block of information in the network topology. The connection element represents a connection or relationship between blocks of information in the network topology, for example, a connection line between blocks or a connection node between lines. In an electrical circuit, an electrical component thereof, for example, a resistor, would be represented by a support element that, in the model, supports information indicative that the element represents a resistance. The electrical connections or cables connected to the resistor would be represented by connection elements in the model.
    [0039]
    [0040] The support elements of the system, or at least part of them, are connected together to form the models. In this way, it is possible to form models of electrical circuits or, in general, of network topologies, modularly by combining support elements (with their respective information elements fixed thereto) and connection elements. In models, at least one information element is supported on a support element connected to a connection element. This modular design facilitates the construction of the models and, therefore, the representation of network topologies.
    [0041]
    [0042] Unlike the state of the known art, in the modular system of the invention the information element is attachable to the support element in a removable way. By removable it is understood that the information element is configured, in particular, to be removed, removed, replaced or replaced from the support element so that each information element can be reused as many times as necessary.
    [0043] Since the information element is removably attached to the support element, the information element and the support element are independent of each other. This duality or independence between support element and information element makes it possible for the information elements to be changed at will in the same support element, regardless of whether the support element is, or not, connected in the model, as the connection It is done through the support element and not through the information elements. For example, in the representation of an electrical circuit, a resistor can be exchanged for a capacitor without disconnecting any cables, since the connections are made between the support elements.
    [0044]
    [0045] The complexity of the system decreases, as the different models can be constructed with the same type of support element piece, the information elements must simply be changed, without necessarily interfering with the connection elements. In this way, the construction of representation models is simplified and, therefore, a faster, simple, convenient and efficient exchange of information between teachers and students is facilitated.
    [0046]
    [0047] The connection elements may consist essentially of a line element, cable-shaped and directly connectable to support elements, or a node element, directly connectable to line elements.
    [0048]
    [0049] The line elements may be in the form of a rigid cable, in particular, of a rod, or flexible, in particular, of rope. The term cable also includes the concepts of tube or wire. However, the invention is not limited to the connection elements being formed by line elements or by node elements.
    [0050]
    [0051] The node elements can be in the form, for example, of X, T, or L, respectively, depending on the number of connections in the node element through which line elements can be connected directly (for example, respectively, 4, 3 or 2). The number of connections in the node element, as well as in the support element, is not limited in the invention, and may be determined based on the corresponding information block in the network topology to be represented. This connection element or connector simulates a node of the network topology, for example, an electrical node of an electrical circuit.
    [0052]
    [0053] When the line elements and node elements are provided as elements of connection separately in the system of the invention, it is possible to connect to the same node element a different number of line elements and, therefore, support elements. This increases the flexibility or versatility of the system, increasing the number of network topology models that can be formed by combining a small number of pieces, support elements or node elements.
    [0054]
    [0055] The modular system of the invention can be obtained by 3D printing. That is, in particular, support elements, information elements, information, connection elements, line elements and / or node elements can be printed in 3D or with a 3D printer. 3D printing allows the modules to be produced to model network topologies, in particular, electrical circuits, quickly and easily. If a module or system element is damaged or lost, it is possible to print or manufacture another one at the time, without the need for spare parts or waiting for its supply.
    [0056]
    [0057] The modules or elements of the 3D printable modular system may be of plastic material, in a manner known in the 3D printing technique. The plastic, besides being easily moldable, provides the advantage of its lightness, also facilitating the transport and handling of the system of the invention.
    [0058]
    [0059] Alternatively to 3D printing, the modules or elements of the modular system of the invention can be obtained, for example, by plastic injection molding.
    [0060]
    [0061] So that the configuration of the topology representation models obtainable by the system of the invention is not altered by its transport or manipulation, the system may comprise a representation board in which support elements, and / or connection elements, in particular, line elements or node elements, can be removably fixed to form the models of the network topology.
    [0062]
    [0063] In another aspect of the invention, the invention relates to a use of a kit comprising support elements and connection elements to provide a modular system for representing a network topology as described above.
    [0064]

    [0088] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
    [0089]
    [0090] Hereinafter the invention is explained especially in the case that the network topology is an electrical circuit, but the invention can be applied to all types of network topologies.
    [0091]
    [0092] Figures 1 to 5 represent the constituent elements of an embodiment of the modular system of the invention, that is to say the different modules of the system that can be combined with each other to form representation models of network topologies according to the invention. Figure 1 represents a support element (1) in which an information element (4), (5) can be fixed. Figure 2 represents a connection element that is a line element (2). Figure 3 represents a connection element that is a node element (3). Figures 5 and 6 represent different types of information elements (4), (5).
    [0093]
    [0094] On the other hand, Figures 6 to 9 represent different ways of combining said modules or constituent elements of the modular system of the invention, forming models of representation of network topologies, in this case of electrical circuits. Figure 9 also shows a representation board (7) on which said models can be formed or constructed.
    [0095]
    [0096] In figure 1, together with the support element (1) two information elements (4) are shown, (5) attachable to the support element (1) in a removable manner according to the invention. These information elements (4), (5) differ from each other in that the information of one of them is an identification (52), (53), that is to say an identification element (5). The identification (52), (53) allows uniquely identifying support elements (1) that support, in particular, information elements (4) with the same information (42) in the model.
    [0097]
    [0098] For example, an identification element (5) makes it possible to identify circuit components with the same information (42), that is, for example, two resistors in the circuit. While an information element (4) informs about the type of element, for example, by means of the relief symbol of resistance (42), the identification element (5) uniquely identifies it against other elements of the same type, by example, using numerical information.
    [0099]
    [0100] In the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 1, the information of the element of Information (4) consists of a relief of information (42) in the form of a vertical projection and a symbol of an electrical circuit element, here an electrical resistance. Also, the information of the identification element (5) consists of an information relief (53) in the form of a vertical projection and a natural number (53), here the number "3", and another information relief (52) in Braille.
    [0101]
    [0102] It is also contemplated that the same support element (1) supports in the model a first information element (4), which reports on the type of element, for example, an electrical resistor in an electrical circuit, and a second information element (5) that indicates additional information associated with said element, not necessarily to uniquely identify the element. This additional information may be, for example, the nominal resistance value. In this case, the number (52), (53) shown in the figures would correspond to said nominal value, for example, 3Q, 4Q, 5Q, etc. The second information element (5) of Figure 1 represents here, for example, the value of 3 Q.
    [0103]
    [0104] For the purposes of this specification, the term relief includes the concept of projection, in particular, extrusion, protrusion, projection, etc. as well as the concept of recess, in particular, emptying, hollow, hollow, etc., on a surface. The term relief also includes the concept of surface roughness. For example, Braille is a relief in the form of hemispherical projections. According to the invention, the information reliefs (42), (52), (53) can be tactilely recognized.
    [0105]
    [0106] In a preferred embodiment, the information (52), (53) is alphanumeric, in particular, numerical. By alphanumeric it is understood that it is formed by letters and / or numbers. By numerical it is understood that it is formed by numbers, in particular, by a natural number. Information and, especially, an alphanumeric or numerical identification (52), (53) provides great variability and compactness to the modular system by enumerating the elements, in comparison to other ways of identifying the elements as a point system.
    [0107]
    [0108] The information (or identification) may also be provided in print, so that it can be distinguished visually, for example, by an ink of a distinguishable color from the surface on which the print is applied. A relief in the form of a vertical projection has the advantage that it is distinguishable both visually and tactically. For example, in figure 1 a numerical information (or identification) (52), (53) is provided both as a relief in the form of a vertical projection (53) with the number symbol in format visual (here a "3") as well as in Braille, allowing its recognition both visually and tactically.
    [0109]
    [0110] Different connection elements (2), (3) are shown in figures 2 and 3. In figure 2 a line element (2) is represented and in figure 3 a node element (3). In a preferable embodiment, at least one or even all connection elements (2), (3) consist essentially of a line element (2) or a node element (3). The line element (2), by definition, is a cable-shaped connection element and directly connectable to support elements (1). The node element (3), by definition, is a connection element directly connectable to line elements (2). The use of line elements (2) or node elements (3) as connection elements simplifies the modular system of the invention, by reducing the number of different modules required.
    [0111]
    [0112] In figure 2, a line element (2) is shown with a flexible rope (22) and two washers (21) to which the rope (22) is attached at its ends. The washers (21) are used to connect the line element (2) to support elements (1) or to node elements (3). The flexibility of the line element (2) facilitates the formation of the models, being able to move the different elements (2), (3) with each other, modifying the distance between them, without the need to disconnect the connection elements (2), (3). The connection by washers (21) allows free rotation of the connections.
    [0113]
    [0114] In figure 3, an X-shaped node element (3) and with four connection points to line elements (2) is shown, one for each end of the X.
    [0115]
    [0116] In another embodiment of the node element (3) it is also contemplated that it is obtained from a support element (1) that does not support information element (4), (5) in the model. This further simplifies the modular system of the invention, by decreasing the number of different modules required and using the same parts both as support elements (1) and node elements (3), whether or not they incorporate information elements (4 ), (5) in the model.
    [0117]
    [0118] In correspondence with the washers (21) or rings of the line elements (2), for the connection between support elements (1) and / or node elements (3) with line elements (2), the support elements (1) and / or the node elements (3) comprise pivots (11), (31) fixed thereto, the connection being made by insertion or fitting of the Washers (21) on corresponding pivots (11), (31). The pivots (11), (31) are in the form of a vertical projection.
    [0119]
    [0120] The invention is not limited to this form of interconnection between the support elements (1). For example, the connection between support elements (1) with connection elements (2), (3), in particular, line elements (2) or node elements (3), can be, in general, tongue and groove.
    [0121]
    [0122] It is also contemplated that the tongue and groove connections, in particular, by pivot (11), (31) and washer (21), can rotate around its axis during assembly or assembly and manipulation (while maintaining the connection and structure of the model). This provides greater flexibility to the system of the invention.
    [0123]
    [0124] In a preferred embodiment, for fixing information elements (4), (5) to the support element (1), the information element (4), (5) comprises a label (41), (51) , in which the information (42), (52), (53) is arranged, and the support element (1) comprises a support cavity (12), in which the label (41), (51) is fit In particular, the labels (41), (51) are adjustable with shape adjustment. The term fit includes the concept of inserting, encapsulating, etc.
    [0125]
    [0126] The term of label includes the concept of foil, card, etc. The labels are easily manipulated and obtainable, facilitating their inclusion in the system of the invention, therefore, the manipulation and obtaining of models represented by the system.
    [0127]
    [0128] In a preferable embodiment, the support element (1) is in the form of a frame, the labels (41), (51) being embedded in a central support cavity (12) of the frame. On the sides of the frame the support pivots (11) are arranged, for example, two pivots (11), for connection with the line elements (2), as the components of a circuit are connected by electric cables.
    [0129]
    [0130] In a preferable embodiment, an information relief (42; 53) of the corresponding information element (4), (5) in the form of a vertical projection, in a position for fixing the information element (4), (5 ) to the support element (1), protrudes with respect to a pivot (11) of the support element (1) and / or with respect to another information relief (42), (53) in the form of a vertical projection, according to a height of projection (i, j; f) substantially so that a user's finger can slide around the relief of information (42; 53) recognizing your information tactilely. In this way the pivots (11) do not prevent easy access to the reliefs (42), (53) in a tactile manner and, therefore, the recognition of the information is facilitated. For this, as shown in Figure 1, the projection heights (i), (j) of the corresponding information reliefs (42), (53) can be selected sufficiently larger than the projection height (f) of the pivots (11). In the embodiment of Figure 1, in a position for fixing the information element (4), (5) to the support element (1), the front surface (410), (510) of the information labels ( 41), (51), on which the information reliefs (42), (52), (52) are projected, flush with the front surface (10) of the support element (1), on which the pivots (11) of the support element (1).
    [0131]
    [0132] Also preferably, in a complementary or alternative way to the embodiment indicated in the previous paragraph, an information relief (42), (52), (53) of the corresponding information element (4), (5), in a position for fixing the information element (4), (5) to the support element (1), is distanced from a pivot (11) of the support element (1) and / or with respect to another information relief (42), ( 52), (53) along a distance (d) substantially so that a user's finger can slide around the information relief (42), (52), (53) recognizing their information tactically. In this way the user can slide his finger through the free space between the pivots (11) and the information reliefs (42), (52), (53) thus facilitating the tactile recognition of the corresponding information. In particular, as shown in Figure 1, the distance (d) between the axis of a pivot (11) and the edge of the support cavity (12) can be selected large enough.
    [0133]
    [0134] The labels (41), (51) serve as the basis of the respective information elements (4), (5), the information (42), (52), (53) being arranged thereon, both visually and tactically in shape of relief.
    [0135]
    [0136] In a preferred embodiment, a central support cavity (12) is configured to accommodate two information elements (4), (5), in particular, an information element (4) and an identification element (5). An information element (4) can occupy half of the central support cavity (12) and the other information or identification element (5) the other half.
    [0137]
    [0138] Preferably, the thickness of the label (41), (51), the depth of the support cavity (12) and the height of the pivots (11) can be selected so that in a position where the label (41), (51) is fixed to the support element (1), the relief of the labels (41), (51) protrudes more than the pivots (11) of the support element (1) so that they do not prevent easy access to the relief by touch.
    [0139]
    [0140] Alternatively or in addition, the information elements (4), (5) can be fixed to the support element (1) by other means, for example, by adhesive. In these cases, the support cavity (12) in the support element (1) can be dispensed with.
    [0141]
    [0142] Preferably, the information (42), (52), (53) comprises a relief, in particular, in Braille. The reliefs may consist of projections or projections or recesses or recesses. On the other hand, the reliefs can be constituted, for example, by figures, drawings or Braille points. The relief provides a means of recognizing the information (42), (52), (53) tactically. The same relief can be provided with a visual impression, for example, of a color, allowing its recognition also visually. Visual printing may be provided separately from the relief, for example, a numerical identification may be provided by printing a visually distinguishable number and a tactilely distinguishable Braille relief.
    [0143]
    [0144] Examples of information elements (4), (5) of a modular system of the invention seen in plan, with different information incorporating each of the elements, are shown in Figures 4 and 5.
    [0145]
    [0146] In Figure 4, information elements (4) can be observed in which the information is shown through the representation of the figure of an electrical component that is in relief and is therefore visually and tactilely recognizable. This information characterizes the type of electrical component of the electrical circuit to be represented. The information elements (4) shown correspond to the information of voltage source (43), current source (44), switch (45), resistance (46), capacitance (47), inductance (48), impedance (49), which are some of the possible information corresponding to electrical elements being possible to create new information elements (4) for other electrical components that need to be represented. The information element (4) with the resistance information (46) corresponds to the information element (4) of Figure 1 in a plan view.
    [0147]
    [0148] In Figure 5, the identification element (5) of Figure 1 can be seen in a plan view with a numerical information (52), (53). This numerical information (52), (53) it consists of an embossed number (53), here a "3", visually and tactilely recognizable, as well as a Braille number (52), tactilely recognizable.
