Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of sports equipment technology, specifically to a frequency conversion timing test system and method for sprint events. Background Technology

[0002] Sprint timing devices are widely used in physical fitness assessments in schools, fire departments, and competitions to accurately collect candidates' 50-meter or 100-meter sprint times. Currently, mainstream solutions on the market generally employ "infrared photoelectric detection + wireless communication" technology. The starting signal is given by a starter, and the infrared sensor automatically triggers when the athlete crosses the finish line. Real-time wireless data transmission occurs between the central control unit, the starter, and the infrared detection device, replacing manual timing and saving manpower while avoiding human error.

[0003] In terms of wireless communication, existing sprint timing testing devices mainly use two frequency bands:

[0004] 2.4 GHz band: This band is shared with common wireless devices such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and is easily subject to interference;

[0005] The 433 MHz band is commonly used in devices such as walkie-talkies and car remote keys, and it also poses a risk of co-channel interference.

[0006] In real-world testing environments, the problems are particularly pronounced: sports venues are densely populated, with a wide variety of uncontrollable electronic devices on the vehicles; some examination rooms even use Wi-Fi signal jammers to prevent cheating. These factors can all seriously affect the stability and reliability of single-band wireless communication.

[0007] Sprint timing demands extremely high real-time performance and precision—times need to be accurate to 0.01 seconds. If communication is interrupted due to interference, even if the retransmission is successful only after a delay of one or two seconds, the obtained time will have lost its competitive fairness and validity.

[0008] Therefore, existing solutions relying on a single communication frequency band cannot guarantee the timely and accurate transmission of timing data in complex electromagnetic environments, and a more reliable communication strategy is urgently needed to improve system robustness.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a frequency conversion sprint timing test system, including a wireless starter 1, an infrared finish line detection device 2, a display device 3, and a central control unit 4. The wireless starter 1, the infrared finish line detection device 2, the display device 3, and the central control unit 4 are all independent units. The infrared finish line detection device 2 is fixedly installed at the finish line of the track, and the central control unit 4 and the display device 3 are fixedly installed at the referee's stand.

[0047] In the frequency conversion sprint timing test system provided in this embodiment, the central control host 4 establishes a first wireless communication link with the first 2.4G wireless communication module 104, the second 2.4G wireless communication module 202, and the third 2.4G wireless communication module 302 through the fourth 2.4G wireless communication module 402, and simultaneously establishes a second wireless communication link with the first 433M wireless communication module 105, the second 433M wireless communication module 203, and the third 433M wireless communication module 303 through the fourth 433M wireless communication module 403.

[0048] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, a frequency conversion sprint timing test system is provided. When the system is working, the wireless starter 1 and the infrared finish line detection device 2 send data through the first wireless communication link or the second wireless communication link. If no response is received from the central control host 4 within a preset time, the system automatically switches to the second wireless communication link or the first wireless communication link to resend the data. The central control host 4 simultaneously monitors the first wireless communication link and the second wireless communication link and responds to the data received first on either link.

[0049] It should be noted that in this application, when the central control host 4 is in the receiving state, both communication links are in the monitoring state (simultaneous monitoring is not contradictory), and whichever link receives first will initiate an interruption first.

[0052] In the frequency conversion sprint timing test system provided in this embodiment, the preset time threshold is 2 milliseconds; if no response signal is received from the central control host 4 within 2 milliseconds, the current communication device will immediately switch to another frequency band to retransmit the data.

[0053] In a frequency conversion sprint timing test system provided in this application, the infrared detection module 204 includes a through-beam infrared emitter and an infrared receiver. The infrared emitter and the infrared receiver are respectively installed on both sides of the finish line of the track to form one or more horizontal infrared light curtains.

[0054] In the frequency conversion timing test system for sprint events provided in this application, the display screen 304 is a high-brightness LED digital tube or a full-color LED dot matrix screen, used to display the race time, split scores or foul prompts in real time.

[0055] In the frequency conversion sprint event timing test system provided in this application, the first microcontroller 101, the second microcontroller 201, the third microcontroller 301 and the central processing unit 401 are all equipped with high-precision real-time clocks, and are periodically synchronized wirelessly through the central control host 4.

[0056] In the frequency conversion sprint timing test system provided in this application, the central control host 4 also includes a storage module 405, which is electrically connected to the central processing unit 401. The storage module 405 is used to record the starting time of each race, the crossing time of each lane, the communication log and the final result, and supports data export via wired or wireless means.

[0057] In the frequency conversion sprint event timing test system provided in this application, the central control host 4 further includes a network communication module 406, which is electrically connected to the central processing unit 401 and is used to realize data interaction between the central control host 4 and external devices or systems.

[0058] The workflow of the frequency conversion timing test system for sprint events provided in this application is as follows:

[0059] Step 1: Starting Phase; The referee presses the trigger button on wireless starter 1, and wireless starter 1 immediately:

[0060] Simultaneously issue starting voice prompts (such as "On your marks - Get set - Bang!") and flashing signals for athletes to perceive;

[0061] It sends a "start-up" signal containing a unique device address to the central control host 4 through its built-in first 2.4G wireless communication module 104 (priority channel);

[0062] If the 2.4G signal is not acknowledged within a preset time (e.g., 2 milliseconds), the system will automatically switch to the first 433M wireless communication module 105 to retransmit the signal.

[0063] Step 2: Timing Start; After the central control unit 4 receives a valid "start" signal:

[0064] Start the high-precision timer immediately (accuracy up to 0.01 seconds);

[0065] Optionally, trigger audio-visual feedback or voice announcement "The match has started";

[0066] Entering the waiting state for the finish line signal.

[0067] Step 3: Finish line detection; When the athlete crosses the finish line, the infrared beam of the infrared finish line detection device 2 is blocked.

[0068] The infrared detection module 204 detects the beam interruption in real time and generates a "crossing the finish line event";

[0069] The second microcontroller 201 captures the precise moment of crossing the finish line (based on a time reference synchronized with the central control host 4).

[0070] The second 2.4G wireless communication module 202 sends a "crossing signal" containing track number information and a timestamp to the central control host 4;

[0071] If 2.4G communication fails, it will automatically switch to the second 433M wireless communication module 203 for retransmission.

[0072] Step 4: Timing End and Data Processing; After the central control unit 4 receives a valid finish line signal:

[0073] Immediately stop timing for the corresponding track.

[0074] Calculate the final result (time to cross the finish line - time to start).

[0075] The score data is stored in the local storage module 405;

[0076] The final score is pushed to the display device 3 via the wireless link of the fourth 2.4G wireless communication module 402 or the fourth 433M wireless communication module 403 (which also has dual-frequency redundancy).

[0077] Step 5: Result Display. After receiving the score data, display device 3:

[0078] Verify the communication address and verification information;

[0079] The results of the corresponding lane (e.g., "Lane 1: 12.34s") are updated and highlighted in real time on LED display screen 304.

[0080] Optionally, trigger audio-visual prompts or scrolling announcements.

[0081] This application provides a frequency conversion timing test system for sprint events, which employs wireless frequency conversion communication technology to realize data interaction between the wireless starter 1, the infrared finish line detection device 2, the display device 3, and the central control host 4. Each communication link is equipped with dual-band channels of 2.4G and 433M. When any device fails to communicate continuously in the current frequency band for a preset threshold (e.g., set to 3 times, if no response signal is received after 3 attempts to initiate information transmission), it automatically switches to another frequency band to retry. The end-to-end transmission delay of any communication process is controlled within 10 milliseconds, preferably not exceeding 10 milliseconds, to meet the real-time requirements of 0.01-second timing for sprint events. This application provides a frequency conversion timing test system for sprint events, employing dual-frequency conversion communication technology. It configures each device in the system with two independent wireless communication frequency bands: 2.4GHz and 433MHz, and monitors data transmission status in real time. When the number of communication failures due to interference on either frequency band reaches a preset threshold, the system automatically switches to the other frequency band for retransmission, effectively avoiding interference, significantly reducing the probability of communication failure, and ensuring the real-time and reliable delivery of critical instructions (such as starting signals, crossing the finish line, and result notifications). Compared to single-frequency communication schemes, this application achieves adaptive anti-interference capabilities in complex electromagnetic environments through a dynamic frequency band switching mechanism.

[0082] This application provides a frequency conversion timing test system for sprint events, applicable to 50-meter, 100-meter, and firefighter 100-meter obstacle course events, which can ensure the fairness of the test.

[0083] Example 2

[0084] This embodiment provides a variable frequency sprint timing test method, which is applied to a variable frequency sprint timing test system provided in Embodiment 1, including:

[0085] The wireless transmitter responds to user commands, outputs voice signals according to user commands, and simultaneously sends a start signal to the central control host through the first 2.4G wireless communication module;

[0086] If the wireless transmitter does not receive a response signal from the central control host within a preset time, it will immediately switch to the first 433M wireless communication module to resend the start signal to the central control host.

[0087] After receiving the start signal, the central control unit sends a response signal to the wireless transmitter and starts the timer at the same time;

[0088] The infrared finish line detection device detects the athlete's finish line signal in real time. When the finish line signal is detected, it immediately sends the finish line signal to the central control host through the second 2.4G wireless communication module.

[0089] If the infrared lap detection device does not receive a response signal from the central control host within a preset time, it will immediately switch to the second 433M wireless communication module to resend the lap signal to the central control host.

[0090] After receiving the finish line signal, the central control unit sends a response signal to the infrared finish line detection device, stops the timing, and pushes the athlete's final score to the display device.

[0091] In the frequency conversion sprint timing test method provided in this embodiment, the preset time accuracy is set to the millisecond level, that is, the preset time range is from 1 millisecond to 10 milliseconds.

[0092] In the frequency conversion timing test method for sprint events provided in this embodiment, after the wireless starter switches to the first 433M wireless communication module to resend the start signal to the central control host, if the wireless starter still does not receive a response signal from the central control host within a preset time, it continues to switch to the first 2.4G wireless communication module to resend the start signal to the central control host. This cycle continues until 10 milliseconds have elapsed. Because sprint events require high time accuracy, exceeding 10 milliseconds has a significant impact on the athlete's performance. Therefore, it is not recommended to exceed 10 milliseconds.

[0093] Similarly, after the infrared line-crossing detection device switches to the second 433M wireless communication module to resend the line-crossing signal to the central control host, if the infrared line-crossing detection device still does not receive a response signal from the central control host within a preset time, it will continue to switch to the second 2.4G wireless communication module to resend the start signal to the central control host, and so on, until 10 milliseconds have elapsed.

[0094] For specific limitations regarding the timing test method for variable frequency sprint events, please refer to the above description of the specific limitations of each module in a timing test system for variable frequency sprint events, which will not be repeated here.

[0095] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
