Dumbbell that can respond to exercise status and play music

Abstract

A dumbbell that can respond to exercise status and play music by which a user can clearly understand the exercise status with the dumbbell when using the dumbbell, includes a sensor unit for sensing a movement of the dumbbell, and a control circuit containing a micro processor, a display unit, a trumpet, and a plurality of press buttons. The micro processor receives a signal of exercising, performs calculation or summation to time duration, number of times, and energy consumption of a continuous exercise, and outputs the outcomes through the display unit, based on settings of the press buttons. Voice and music generation circuits, installed inside the micro processor, can also receive a signal of exercising including number of times and time duration of a continuous exercise, output a related voice or music in a rhythm through the trumpet based on the settings of the press buttons.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] (a) Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a dumbbell that can respond to exercise status and play music, and more particularly to a dumbbell that can output a voice, music, and message associated with an action of exercise. [0003] (b) Description of the Prior Art [0004] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, it shows a perspective view and an assembly view of a conventional dumbbell 4 comprising primarily threaded sleeves 41 located at a front and a rear end. Caps 1 are locked onto the threaded sleeves 41, respectively, thereby constituting the dumbbell 4. As using this kind of conventional dumbbell is quite dull and boring, a user needs to rely on a strong will power and perseverance in order to continue exercising. Therefore, there has never been an exercising appliance that can allow a user to willingly keep on using due to a fun and sense of achievability. With a weight of a dumbbell itself, a user must resist the gravitationa...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006] The primary object of the present invention is to provide a dumbbell that can respond to exercise status and play music, wherein a control circuit is emplaced in the dumbbell for receiving a signal of exercising, performing calculation and summation based on a condition of exercising with the dumbbell, and displaying outcomes or playing voice or music associated with exercising. The control circuit includes a display unit for displaying messages of a number of times of exercising, time duration of exercising, and an energy consumption; a micro processor for receiving a signal of exercising, calculating time duration, number of times and an energy consumption for a continuous exercise based on settings of press buttons, and controlling an output of voice, music, and the display unit; a voice generation circuit, which is contained in the micro processor, for outputting a voice signal to a trumpet when the number of times or the time duration of exercising calculated by the micro processor reach a setting; a music generation circuit, which is con

Problems solved by technology

As using this kind of conventional dumbbell is quite dull and boring, a user needs to rely on a strong will power and perseverance in order to continue exercising.

Therefore, there has never been an exercising appliance that can allow a user to willingly keep on using due to a fun and sense of achievability.

However, the conventional dumbbell is a very awkward object and therefore manifests certain monotone and baldness in keeping a mechanical exercise.

This means that after using the dumbbell, the user cannot have or feel a sense of achievability from exercising, such as that how man
