A rope skipping device capable of monitoring exercise posture

Abstract

The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent devices, and discloses a rope skipping device capable of monitoring exercise posture, which can monitor and provide feedback on the vertical height consistency of two rope skipping handles held by the exercise subject. The rope skipping device designed by the present invention includes a horizontal device and a detection circuit, wherein the horizontal device is a tubular structure on which a movable metal ball is placed, and metal contacts are distributed on the inner surface of the tubular structure. After the rope skipping device is connected to the two handles of the rope skipping, during use, if the vertical heights of the two handles are consistent, the metal ball in the tubular structure remains in the center position. If the vertical heights are inconsistent, the metal ball will tilt and move toward the side with lower height due to gravity, thereby contacting the metal contact and generating an electrical signal. The electrical signal is detected by the detection circuit on the corresponding side, and is displayed directly on an indicator light on one side of the device or fed back to the handle for early warning, thereby enabling the exercise subject to self-monitor and adjust its own rope skipping posture.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of intelligent devices, and in particular to a rope skipping device capable of monitoring exercise posture. Background Art

[0002] With the rise of the national fitness craze, skipping rope is becoming increasingly popular as a common form of exercise. Currently, common skipping ropes on the market are primarily categorized into smart and standard types, depending on whether they are powered or not. Smart ones generally use LEDs to display counts, include built-in counters in the handles, and some even have built-in Bluetooth chips that communicate with mobile phone apps, enabling upload of skipping counts and realizing the social value of exercise data.

[0003] However, no matter whether it is intelligent or ordinary skipping rope, it is impossible to monitor and remind the posture of the exercise subject (person), and there are almost no external technical means that athletes can rely on to improve their skipping rope skills. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a rope skipping device capable of monitoring exercise posture, which can monitor and provide feedback on the vertical height consistency of two rope skipping handles held by the exercise subject.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above technical problems is:

[0006] A skipping rope device capable of monitoring movement posture is used as a skipping rope accessory on the skipping rope; the device comprises a horizontal device and a detection circuit, wherein the two ends of the horizontal device are respectively connected to the two handles of the skipping rope; the horizontal device comprises a tubular structure and two detection circuits, a movable metal ball is placed in the center of the tubular structure, and the inner surface of the tubular structure is provided with metal contacts from the center to the two ends, the metal contacts in the left half of the tubular structure are connected to the first detection circuit, and the metal contacts in the right half of the tubular structure are connected to the second detection circuit; when the vertical heights of the two handles of the skipping rope are consistent, the movable metal ball remains in the center position of the tubular structure; when the vertical heights of the two handles of the skipping rope are inconsistent, the movable metal ball slides toward the lower side in the tubular structure and connects the contacts in the corresponding part of the tubular structure, and the electrical signal generated by the contact connection is detected by the detection circuit of the corresponding part.

[0007] Furthermore, the rope skipping device is powered by a button battery or the handle output of the rope skipping device.

[0008] Furthermore, the leveling device also includes a key switch for controlling the switch state of the detection circuit.

[0009] Furthermore, two rows of contacts are evenly distributed on the inner surface of the tubular structure from the center to both ends. The contacts are located at the upper and lower ends of the horizontal tube cross-section, and the contacts in a straight line along the horizontal tube direction are interconnected and connected to the detection circuit of the corresponding part of the tubular structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the electrical signal detected by the detection circuit is transmitted to the corresponding handle of the skipping rope through a signal line or wirelessly, so that the corresponding handle can provide an early warning prompt.

[0011] Furthermore, the early warning prompt method includes: feeding back to the athlete the information that the handle position is low through handle vibration, sound and light, LED screen or digital tube or APP prompt.

[0012] Furthermore, LED indicator lights are provided on both sides of the horizontal device, the indicator light on the left is connected to the output of the first detection circuit, and the indicator light on the right is connected to the output of the second detection circuit.

[0013] Furthermore, both ends of the horizontal device are connected to the two handles of the skipping rope through flexible cables.

[0014] Furthermore, the two ends of the horizontal device are connected to the two handles of the skipping rope via flexible cables, including:

[0015] If the handle of the skipping rope has its own signal interface, connect the two ends of the horizontal device to the handle through the signal line of the corresponding interface. If the handle of the skipping rope does not have a signal interface, connect the horizontal device to the adapter through a soft cable and then connect it to the handle of the skipping rope through the adapter. The adapter supports universal flexible rotation.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] The rope skipping device based on the above design is used as an accessory of the rope skipping when in use. It is connected to the two handles of the rope skipping through a soft cable. When the two handles are at the same height in the vertical direction, no electrical signal will be triggered. When the two handles are at different heights in the vertical direction, the rope skipping device will generate an electrical signal on the side with the relatively lower height, thereby directly issuing an early warning prompt on the indicator light on the corresponding side of the rope skipping device, or feeding back to the rope skipping handle for early warning prompts such as vibration, sound and light prompts, screen display or APP prompts; thereby, the athlete can realize self-monitoring and adjustment of his or her own rope skipping posture.

[0018] It also has at least the following advantages: (1) the metal ball in the device will slide sideways under the action of gravity according to the posture, thereby quickly responding to posture monitoring; (2) the structure is simple and the implementation cost is low; (3) the on / off state of the device can be controlled by a key switch, and current consumption is only generated when in use, so the power consumption is low; (4) any skipping rope handle can be connected to the skipping rope device of the present invention through a connection conversion interface, and the adaptability is good. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The present invention aims to propose a rope skipping device that can monitor exercise posture, and can monitor and provide feedback on the vertical height consistency of the two rope skipping handles held by the exerciser. The rope skipping device designed by the present invention includes a horizontal device and a detection circuit, wherein the horizontal device is a tubular structure with a movable metal ball placed thereon, and metal contacts are distributed on the inner surface of the tubular structure. After the rope skipping device is connected to the two handles of the rope skipping, during use, if the vertical heights of the two handles are consistent, the metal ball in the tubular structure remains in the center position. If the vertical heights are inconsistent, the metal ball will tilt and move toward the side with lower height due to gravity, thereby contacting the metal contact and generating an electrical signal. The electrical signal is detected by the detection circuit on the corresponding side, and is displayed directly on the indicator light on one side of the device or fed back to the handle for early warning, thereby enabling the exerciser to self-monitor and adjust his or her rope skipping posture.

[0021] Example:

[0022] The rope skipping device capable of monitoring the movement posture in this embodiment is implemented as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes a horizontal device and a detection circuit, and the two ends of the horizontal device are respectively connected to the two handles of the skipping rope; the horizontal device includes a tubular structure and two detection circuits, a movable metal ball is placed in the center of the tubular structure, and metal contacts are respectively provided on the inner surface of the tubular structure from the center to the two ends, the metal contacts in the left half of the tubular structure are connected to the first detection circuit (detection circuit 1 in the figure), and the metal contacts in the right half of the tubular structure are connected to the second detection circuit (detection circuit 2 in the figure); when the vertical heights of the two handles of the skipping rope are consistent, the movable metal ball remains in the center position of the tubular structure; when the vertical heights of the two handles of the skipping rope are inconsistent, the movable metal ball slides to the lower side in the tubular structure and connects the contacts in the corresponding part of the tubular structure, and the electrical signal generated by the contact connection is detected by the detection circuit of the corresponding part.

[0023] In specific implementation, the metal contacts are preferably arranged in the tubular structure in the following manner: two rows of contacts are evenly distributed on the inner surface from the center (excluding the center) to both ends, the contacts are located at the upper and lower ends of the horizontal tube cross-section, and the contacts in a straight line along the horizontal tube direction are interconnected and connected to the detection circuit of the corresponding part of the tubular structure; based on this design, when the vertical heights of the two handles are inconsistent, causing the tubular structure to be not in a horizontal state but in an inclined state, the metal balls inside will slide to the lower end due to the action of gravity, thereby conducting the contacts at this end to generate an electrical signal.

[0024] In order for the horizontal device to be horizontal when the two rope skipping handles are at the same vertical height, the horizontal device needs to be connected to the handles using a flexible cable. Specifically, if the handle is a smart handle with an MCU, a USB or other type of electrical connection port is usually reserved at the tail. The horizontal device is then connected to the handle via a flexible cable. The cable provides physical support on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can provide the horizontal device with power transmitted from the handle battery and provide the handle with electrical signals transmitted from the horizontal device. For ordinary handles without signal interfaces, the horizontal device can be connected to an adapter via a soft cable, and the adapter is then connected to the handles. The adapter supports universal and flexible rotation. Based on this design, the compatibility of the rope skipping device can be guaranteed.

[0025] Correspondingly, there are two power supply modes for the horizontal device in this embodiment, one is to obtain power from the handle, and the other is to directly use button batteries for power supply.

[0026] During use, when the vertical heights of the two handles are inconsistent, the contacts on the corresponding sides of the horizontal device will be connected, thereby generating an electrical signal. Specifically, for example, when the left handle is higher and the right handle is lower, the horizontal device will tilt to the right, and the metal ball in the device will also move to the right, causing the contacts in the right part of the tubular structure (divided into left and right parts with the center as the base point) to be connected, generating an electrical signal. The electrical signal will be detected by the detection circuit used to detect the contact signal of the right part of the tubular structure (detection circuit 2 in the figure). Similarly, when the left handle is lower and the right handle is higher, the contacts in the left part of the tubular structure will be connected, generating an electrical signal, which will be detected by the detection circuit used to detect the contact signal of the left part of the tubular structure (detection circuit 1 in the figure).

[0027] The electrical signal detected by the detection circuit is used as a basis for feeding back information that the handle height is low to the moving subject. Specifically, as an implementation method, this embodiment can set indicator lights at both ends of the horizontal device, and the indicator lights are connected to the detection circuit of the corresponding part. Figure 1For example, detection circuit 1 is connected to the indicator light at the left end of the horizontal device, and detection circuit 2 is connected to the indicator light at the right end of the horizontal device. With this design, the indicator light at whichever end of the horizontal device is on represents the handle position on the lower side. Of course, when the horizontal device remains horizontal, that is, when the two handles are at the same height, neither indicator light will be on.

[0028] As another implementation method, if the handle is a smart handle with an MCU, the horizontal device can also transmit the electrical signal generated by the trigger to the handle through a signal line or wireless signal, and then feedback to the athlete through handle vibration, sound and light, LED screen or digital tube, APP prompts, etc.

[0029] Finally, for energy consumption considerations, a key switch can be set on the horizontal device to control the on / off state of the detection circuit, so that the function is enabled only when it is needed, reducing energy consumption.

[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely preferred implementations and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art will be able to make modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the claims, all of which should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
