Abstract
A belt structure includes a belt, a shape memory alloys, a processing module, and a driving module, wherein the driving module is electrically connected to the processing module. The shape memory alloys is disposed in the belt. The processing module generates a controlling signal according to a triggering signal. The driving module generates a driving signal according to the controlling signal, and supplies the driving signal to the shape memory alloys such that the shape memory alloys is deformed.
Claims12
A belt structure, comprising:
- a belt;
- a first shape memory alloy, disposed in the belt;
- a processing module, configured to generate a control signal according to a triggering signal;
- a driving module, electrically connected to the processing module, and configured to generate a driving signal according to the control signal, and provide the driving signal to the first shape memory alloy so that the first shape memory alloy is deformed;
- and
- a detecting module, electrically connected to the processing module, and configured to detect whether the belt structure is close to an object, and generate the trigging signal when a distance between the belt structure and the object is smaller than a threshold value.
