Pathfinder is one of the blind LM567 KD56022

The device is designed to assist blind individuals by providing a total crutch system that helps avoid obstacles. Due to the limited length of the handheld device, the detection distance is constrained. The system employs ultrasonic principles to create a miniature detector that can be integrated into the crutch handle. This setup enhances detection efficiency and range while ensuring ease of use. The ultrasonic detector functions as a pathfinding aid, comprising an ultrasonic transmitter, an ultrasonic receiver, a signal voltage amplifier, an ultrasonic sound detection circuit, and a warning circuit.

The ultrasonic pathfinding device for visually impaired users operates by emitting ultrasonic waves through a transmitter. These waves travel until they encounter an obstacle, at which point they reflect back to the receiver. The time taken for the waves to return is measured, allowing the system to calculate the distance to the obstacle.

The circuit consists of several key components. The ultrasonic transmitter generates high-frequency sound waves, typically in the range of 40 kHz, which are inaudible to humans but can be detected by the receiver. The receiver captures the reflected waves, converting them into an electrical signal. This signal is then processed by a voltage amplifier to enhance its strength for further analysis.

The detection circuit is responsible for interpreting the received signals and determining whether an obstacle is present within the defined detection range. If an obstacle is detected, the warning circuit activates an alert mechanism, which may include auditory signals or vibrations to inform the user of the potential hazard.

Integration of these components into a compact and user-friendly design is crucial for effective operation. The entire system is powered by a rechargeable battery, ensuring portability and ease of use. By employing this ultrasonic detection technology, the device significantly improves the mobility and safety of blind individuals, enabling them to navigate their environment with greater confidence. Blind when they go out to bring a total crutches to Pathfinder to avoid obstacles. Due to hand battle not be too long, the detection distance is very limited. Using ultrasonic principle to form a miniature detector, installed in the hand battle, not only can improve the detection efficiency and detection range, and easy to use. As shown for the ultrasonic detectors blind Pathfinder device, its circuit as shown in FIG. The circuit is an ultrasonic transmitter, an ultrasonic receiver and signal voltage amplifier, ultrasonic sound detection circuit and warning circuit.
