Smart stroller
A smart stroller includes at least one armrest, a processor, a flexible touch sensor, an acceleration sensor, and an automatic brake unit. The flexible touch sensor detects whether the at least one armrest is grasping by a person; if no, the processor controls the acceleration sensor to detect whether the smart stroller is moving. If the processor determines that the armrest is not grasped by the person and the smart stroller is moving, the processor control the at least one automatic brake unit to block the smart strolling to stop the smart stroller from moving.
1. A smart stroller comprising:
a main body;
at least one armrest;
a processor;
a flexible touch sensor mounted on the armrest and configured to detect whether the armrest is touched or grasped;
at least one acceleration sensor coupled to the processor and configured to detect whether the smart stroller is moving when the armrest is not touched or grasped;
at least one automatic brake unit coupled to the processor and configured to stop the main body from moving if the armrest is not touched or grasped and the smart stroller is moving; and
wherein if the processor determines that the smart stroller stops moving for a preset time period, the processor controls the automatic brake unit to release the wheel units, allowing the smart stroller to be moved.
2. The smart stroller of claim 1 , further comprising an alert unit, wherein if the flexible touch sensor determining that the armrest is not touched or grasped, the flexible touch sensor generates an alert signal, the processor controls the alert unit to output an alert according to the alert signal generated by the flexible touch sensor.
3. The smart stroller of claim 2 , wherein the alert unit is a loud speaker and/or a light-emitting device.
4. The smart stroller of claim 1 , wherein each wheel unit comprises two wheels, each wheel unit mounted one automatic brake unit, each automatic brake unit comprises two resisting blocks arranged between the two wheels of the wheel unit, each resisting block corresponds to one of the two wheels, the two resisting blocks can be moved close to each other or far away from each other; if the two resisting blocks are moved close to each other, the two resisting blocks are far away from corresponding wheel, thus the stroller can be moved; if the two resisting blocks are moved far away from each other to tightly resist to a corresponding wheel, the wheels are blocked by the friction between the resisting blocks and the wheels, the stroller cannot be moved.
5. The smart stroller of claim 1 , further comprising a power supply unit to supply power to the flexible touch sensor, the at least one acceleration sensor, the at least one automatic brake unit, and the alert unit.
6. The smart stroller of claim 1 , wherein a brake force of each automatic brake unit is gradually enhanced, thus a speed of the smart stroller is gradually slowed down.
