Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a scoring device based on a 555 timer and a counter, and belongs to the field of digital electronic technology. Background Art

[0002] Basketball is a popular sport, enjoyed by many in schools and communities, and scorers are essential equipment for basketball games. However, most commercially available scorers are expensive, making them unaffordable for some schools and communities. Therefore, a more affordable and practical basketball scorer is needed. Compared to microcontroller-based scorers, this device offers a more affordable and reliable basketball scorer, enabling more schools and communities to utilize a comprehensive basketball scorer while also improving the fairness and credibility of the game.

[0003] There have been many studies on basketball scorers at home and abroad, but most of them are based on high-performance hardware designs such as FPGAs and single-chip microcomputers, which are relatively expensive. Therefore, the scorer device based on the 555 timer and counter in this utility model is a more economical and affordable solution. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is: the utility model provides a scoring device based on a 555 timer and a counter, which adopts a digital circuit design and can realize the function of counting different scores. At the same time, it has the characteristics of low cost and easy maintenance, and is a very practical ball scoring solution.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is: a scorer device based on a 555 timer and counter, comprising a 555 monostable multivibrator circuit 1, a 555 astable multivibrator circuit 2, a JK trigger 2-bit carry counter circuit 3, a decoder circuit 4, and a seven-segment cathode ray tube 5; the output signals of the 555 monostable multivibrator circuit 1 and the 555 astable multivibrator circuit 2 are connected through a logic AND gate AND1, the calculated signals are input into the JK trigger 2-bit carry counter circuit 3, the signal output by the JK trigger 2-bit carry counter circuit 3 passes through a 74LS48 decoder circuit 4 and is displayed by the seven-segment cathode ray tube 5.

[0006] Furthermore, the 555 monostable multivibrator circuit 1 includes a 555 timer chip 555I, switches S2, S3, S4, resistors R1, R2, R3, R4, and capacitors C1 and C2; the VSS and RSI ports of the 555 timer chip 555I are connected to the positive pole of a 5V power supply, S2 is connected in series with R1, S3 is connected in series with R2, and S4 is connected in series with R3. The circuits after S2 and R1 are connected in series, the circuits after S3 and R2 are connected in series, and the circuits after S4 and R3 are connected in series are connected in parallel. One end of the parallel circuit is connected to the positive pole of the power supply, and the other end is connected to the DIS port of the 555 timer. DIS is connected to the THR port and then connected to the ground through the capacitor C1. The CON port is connected to the decoupling capacitor C2 and then connected to the ground. TRI is an input port connected to the output of the logic OR gate OR. OUT is an output port connected to the input end of the logic AND gate AND1. TRI is the input port, designed to receive a falling-edge trigger signal and connect to the output of the logic OR gate. Here, one end of the logic gate input is the positive terminal of a 5V power supply controlled by a switch, and the other end is the output of the 555 astable multivibrator circuit in the lower part. This allows the high level controlled by the switch to be ORed with the regular square wave signal. When the switch is turned on, the low level and the square wave signal are ORed together. The purpose is to capture the falling-edge trigger signal at the moment when the two are synchronized and output it to the 555 monostable multivibrator circuit, achieving synchronization with the regular square wave signal. OUT is the output port. When the trigger terminal receives a falling-edge trigger signal, the circuit reverses, and the circuit output remains high (in an unstable state) for a period of time before returning to a low level. The duration of the unstable process is determined by the parameters of the external resistor and capacitor. The formula is as follows. Connect the signal to the input of the logic AND gate AND1.

That is, if the Q output signals of JK2 and JK4 are high at the same time, the overall four-way signal is 1010 (10 in decimal), generating a square wave signal representing reset. The output is connected to the CLR port of JK flip-flops JK1, JK2, JK3, and JK4. When the CLR port of the JK flip-flop is high, it means that the flip-flop is cleared. The two input ends of the logic NAND gate NAND2 are connected to JK6 and JK8 respectively. The Q-end output is connected, and the output is connected to the CLR port of JK flip-flops JK5, JK6, JK7, and JK8. A reset operation occurs in the same group. The input of logic AND gate AND2 is connected to the Q-end output of JK2 and JK4 respectively, and the output port is connected to the CP input port of JK5.

[0023] The JK trigger 2-bit carry counter circuit 3 includes JK triggers JK1, JK2, JK3, JK4, JK5, JK6, JK7, JK8, a logic AND gate AND2, and NAND gates NAND1 and NAND2; the J and K ports of all JK triggers are connected to the positive pole of the power supply;

Assume that the period is t (determined by the parameters of the external resistor and capacitor). In the 555 monostable multivibrator circuit, close S3, open S2 and S4, and then open and close S1 to generate a falling edge signal. After performing a logical AND operation with the regular square wave signal of the 555 astable multivibrator, the monostable multivibrator generates a rectangular wave signal synchronized with the square wave signal.
