Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fitness equipment accessories, and in particular to a finger-ring type Bluetooth controller. Background Art

[0002] With the rise of the concept of national fitness, more and more people have begun to strengthen their physical management, and the fitness equipment industry has ushered in an opportunity for vigorous development.

[0003] In some strength training equipment, resistance is provided by a motor. In order to facilitate users to adjust the size and mode of the resistance, some fitness equipment are equipped with a wireless Bluetooth controller (such as the Chinese patent announcement number CN217661413U). During specific use, the user can fix the wireless Bluetooth controller on a pull rod or other structure, and control the motor and / or other equipment by operating the operation keys on the wireless Bluetooth controller.

[0004] However, during actual use, the inventors found that the existing wireless Bluetooth controllers are still inconvenient to use. Specifically, when the user holds the pull rod and needs to adjust the resistance force, the user does not need to completely release the pull rod before operating the wireless Bluetooth controller, but needs to half-release the pull rod. Because the user cannot hold the wireless Bluetooth controller when exercising, when operating the Bluetooth controller, the user's hand needs to be displaced to a certain extent in order to operate the wireless Bluetooth controller, and even one hand needs to be released to operate the Bluetooth controller. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a finger-ring type Bluetooth controller which is easy to use and which allows the user to issue control instructions while keeping holding other accessories of fitness equipment.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a ring-type Bluetooth controller, including a main body, on which is provided a control panel, a battery and a knob adjustment switch, the battery and the knob adjustment switch are electrically connected to the control panel respectively, and the control panel is provided with a Bluetooth transmission module.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: the ring-type Bluetooth controller has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. While the user maintains a grip on other accessories of the fitness equipment (such as pull rods, pull ropes, etc.), he can easily operate the knob adjustment switch to issue control instructions. During the entire adjustment process, the user's palm does not need to move as a whole, so that the user's exercise state will not be interrupted, which is conducive to improving the user's exercise effect and enhancing the user's usage experience.

[0020] To illustrate the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description is given in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The ring-type Bluetooth controller includes a main body 1, on which a control board 2, a battery 3 and a knob adjustment switch 4 are provided. The battery 3 and the knob adjustment switch 4 are electrically connected to the control board 2 respectively, and the control board 2 is provided with a Bluetooth transmission module.

[0022] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the ring-type Bluetooth controller has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. While the user maintains a grip on other accessories of the fitness equipment, he can easily operate the knob 42 to adjust the switch 4 to issue a control instruction. During the entire adjustment process, the user's palm does not need to be moved as a whole, so that the user's exercise state will not be interrupted, which is conducive to improving the user's exercise effect and enhancing the user's usage experience.

[0023] Furthermore, the knob adjustment switch 4 is a stepless adjustment switch.

[0024] From the above description, it can be seen that the stepless adjustment allows users to more comfortably adjust the resistance force that suits them.

[0025] Furthermore, the knob adjustment switch 4 includes a matching encoder 41 and an operating knob 42, the encoder 41 is arranged on the control panel 2, the operating knob 42 includes a shaft 421, the encoder 41 has a through hole for the shaft 421 to pass through, and the shaft 421 is rotatably connected to the main body 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the operating knob 42 also includes a rotating head 422 connected to the shaft 421, the rotating head 422 is exposed on the main body 1, the shaft 421 is slidable along its axial direction, and a button switch 5 is also provided on the control panel 2, the button switch 5 is close to the encoder 41, and the pressing area of the button switch 5 corresponds to the end of the shaft 421.

[0027] From the above description, it can be seen that the rotation adjustment function and the press adjustment function are integrated into the operating knob 42, so that the user can issue multiple control instructions through the operating knob 42, which not only makes the ring-type Bluetooth controller structure more compact, but also further facilitates user operation.

[0028] Furthermore, the knob adjustment switch 4 is located at the end, side or top of the main body 1 .

[0029] As can be seen from the above description, the knob adjustment switch 4 has multiple positions to choose from on the main body 1, which is conducive to enriching the diversity of the ring-type Bluetooth controller.

[0030] Furthermore, the main body 1 is provided with an operation key electrically connected to the control panel 2 .

[0031] As can be seen from the above description, the setting of the operation keys can enable the ring-type Bluetooth controller to issue more types of control instructions.

[0032] Furthermore, the battery 3 is a dry cell battery, the main body 1 is provided with a battery compartment, and a compartment cover is provided at the opening of the battery compartment.

[0033] Furthermore, the battery 3 is a storage battery, and the main body 1 is provided with a charging interface 6 electrically connected to the control board 2 .

[0034] It can be seen from the above description that the specific type of the battery 3 can be set as needed.

[0035] Furthermore, the main body 1 includes an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12 connected to each other. Both sides of the upper shell 11 are connected to wall panels 13 respectively. The lower shell 12 and the two wall panels 13 enclose an open accommodating space.

[0036] Furthermore, the wall panel 13 is provided with a mounting structure and also includes a binding strap, and the binding strap connects the mounting structures on two wall panels 13 .

[0037] From the above description, it can be seen that when the strap applies tension to the main body 1, the upper shell 11 tends to move toward the user's fingers, and the lower shell 12 is supported by the user's fingers. The user's fingers can apply a force to the lower shell 12 in the direction of approaching the upper shell 11. Therefore, when the user wears the ring-type Bluetooth controller, the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 of the ring-type Bluetooth controller will not separate or be accidentally disconnected, which is beneficial to improving the structural stability of the ring-type Bluetooth controller.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , embodiment 1 of the present invention is: a ring-type Bluetooth controller, which, as an accessory of fitness equipment, can be used to adjust the motor resistance, switch the motor resistance mode, control the operation of other components, etc., and can be specifically set according to actual needs.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the ring-type Bluetooth controller includes a main body 1, on which a control board 2, a battery 3 and a knob adjustment switch 4 are provided. The battery 3 and the knob adjustment switch 4 are electrically connected to the control board 2 respectively, and the control board 2 is provided with a Bluetooth transmission module.

[0041] The user generates control commands by manipulating the knob adjustment switch 4. These control commands are transmitted to the signal receiving end via the Bluetooth transmission module, thereby causing the fitness equipment to make corresponding adjustments. For example, if the rotation of the knob adjustment switch 4 is used to generate a control command for controlling the magnitude of the motor's resistance, the user can increase / decrease the motor's resistance by rotating the knob adjustment switch 4 clockwise, while the user can decrease / increase the motor's resistance by rotating the knob adjustment switch 4 counterclockwise.

[0042] The user wears this ring-type Bluetooth controller on his index finger. When the user needs to operate the knob adjustment switch 4, the user's palm and four fingers except the thumb can continue to hold the pull rod, pull rope and other fitness equipment accessories. The thumb can touch and operate the knob adjustment switch 4 by relying on the mobility of the thumb joint.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 5 Specifically, the main body 1 includes an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12 connected to each other. The upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are connected to form an internal space. The control board 2 and the battery 3 are located in the internal space. A portion of the knob adjustment switch 4 is located in the internal space, and the other portion is exposed from the main body 1. In some embodiments, the connection method between the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 can be adhesive connection, ultrasonic welding or screw connection. In order to facilitate assembly production and improve production efficiency, in this embodiment, the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are snap-connected. More specifically, the upper shell 11 is provided with a first snap-fitting member 111, and the lower shell 12 is provided with a second snap-fitting member 121 that cooperates with the first snap-fitting member 111. The first snap-fitting member 111 can be a card block or a card slot.

[0044] In this embodiment, the resistance force of the motor is adjusted by rotating the knob adjustment switch 4. Therefore, it is preferred that the knob adjustment switch 4 is a stepless adjustment switch.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in detail, the knob adjustment switch 4 includes a matching encoder 41 and an operating knob 42. The encoder 41 can be a mechanical encoder, a magnetic encoder, or other types of encoders. The encoder 41 is provided on the control panel 2. The operating knob 42 includes a shaft 421. The encoder 41 has a through hole for the shaft 421 to pass through. The shaft 421 is rotatably connected to the main body 1. One end of the shaft 421 is exposed to the main body 1. Preferably, the operating knob 42 also includes a rotating head 422 connected to the shaft 421, and the rotating head 422 is exposed to the main body 1. Further preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the rotating head 422 is provided with anti-slip lines.

[0046] The shaft portion 421 is slidable relative to the main body 1 along its axial direction. A button switch 5 is also provided on the control panel 2. The button switch 5 is close to the encoder 41. The pressing area of the button switch 5 corresponds to the end of the shaft portion 421. When the operating knob 42 slides axially toward the direction close to the button switch 5, the end of the shaft portion 421 presses the button switch 5, so that the button switch 5 generates a control instruction. In this embodiment, the button switch 5 is used to switch the motor working mode. The user can select different motor working modes by pressing the button switch 5 different times through the operating knob 42. Of course, in some embodiments, the button switch 5 and the knob adjustment switch 4 can be set separately, that is, the user cannot operate the button switch 5 through the operating knob 42. In this way, the operation error caused by the user accidentally touching the operating knob 42 can be reduced.

[0047] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, specifically, the ring-type Bluetooth controller also includes a first circuit board 43 and a second circuit board 51, the encoder 41 is arranged on the first circuit board 43, the first circuit board 43 has a through hole connected to the perforation, the button switch 5 is arranged on the second circuit board 51, the first circuit board 43 and the second circuit board 51 are respectively plugged into the control board 2, the first circuit board 43 and the second circuit board 51 are respectively connected to the control board 2, more specifically, the first circuit board 43 and the second circuit board 51 are respectively perpendicular to the control board 2. In order to improve the structural stability of the ring-type Bluetooth control, a first reinforcing rib 112 and a second reinforcing rib 113 are provided on the inner side of the upper shell 11. The first reinforcing rib 112 contacts the side of the first circuit board 43 close to the second circuit board 51, and the second reinforcing rib 113 contacts the side of the second circuit board 51 away from the first circuit board 43. The first reinforcing rib 112 not only serves to strengthen the structural strength of the upper shell 11, but also serves to cooperate with the control board 2 to support the first circuit board 43. The second reinforcing rib 113 not only serves to strengthen the structural strength of the upper shell 11, but also serves to cooperate with the control board 2 to support the second circuit board 51.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the knob adjustment switch 4 is located at the end of the main body 1 . In other embodiments, the knob adjustment switch 4 can also be located at the side or top of the main body 1 .

[0049] In addition, in some embodiments, if the ring-type Bluetooth controller is required to generate more instructions, an operation key electrically connected to the control panel 2 can be provided on the main body 1, and the operation key can be either a knob type or a press type.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, optionally, the battery 3 is a storage battery, and the main body 1 is provided with a charging port 6 electrically connected to the control board 2, through which the user can charge the storage battery. The charging port 6 can be a USB port, a Type-C port, or another structural form of port. In other embodiments, the battery 3 can also be a dry cell battery. In this case, the main body 1 is provided with a battery compartment, and the opening of the battery compartment is provided with a compartment cover.

[0051] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to prevent the ring-type Bluetooth controller from rotating around the finger so that the knob adjustment switch 4 rotates to an unexpected position and affects the user's operation, optionally, wall panels 13 are respectively connected to both sides of the upper shell 11, and the lower shell 12 and the two wall panels 13 enclose an open accommodating space. When the user wears the ring-type Bluetooth controller, part of the user's finger extends into the accommodating space, and the inner surface of the wall panel 13 will contact the skin of the user's finger, thereby effectively increasing the contact area between the ring-type Bluetooth controller and the user's finger, and increasing the static friction between the user's finger and the main body 1 of the ring-type Bluetooth controller, so that the user can touch the knob adjustment switch 4 more accurately when using it, thereby improving the effectiveness of the user's operation and further facilitating user use.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment, the upper shell 11 and the wall panel 13 are integrally formed into a one-piece structure. This ensures the bonding strength between the upper shell 11 and the wall panel 13, simplifies the assembly process of the ring Bluetooth controller, and improves production efficiency. In this embodiment, the one-piece structure is generally U-shaped and is an injection-molded body.

[0053] Furthermore, the wall panel 13 is provided with a mounting structure, and the ring-type Bluetooth controller also includes a strap (not shown) that connects the mounting structures on the two wall panels 13. In this embodiment, the mounting structure is a mounting hole 131, through which the strap passes. In other embodiments, the mounting structure can also be a mounting buckle or other structure.

[0054] Specifically, the strap is a belt with adjustable tightening, or an elastic band. When the strap is an adjustable tightening belt, the strap itself may not be elastic, or may have only a small elasticity, thus providing a wide range of material options. When the strap is an elastic band, the two ends of the strap are respectively connected to the two wall panels 13, eliminating the need for the user to adjust the tightening of the strap.

[0055] In addition, when the ring-type Bluetooth controller does not have the wall panel 13, the mounting structure is provided on the upper shell 11 and / or the lower shell 12, that is, the mounting structure is provided on the main body 1. At this time, the ring-type Bluetooth controller can still be fixed on the user's finger by a strap.

[0056] In summary, the ring-type Bluetooth controller provided by the present invention has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. While the user maintains a grip on other accessories of the fitness equipment (such as a pull rod, a pull rope, etc.), he can easily operate the knob adjustment switch to issue a control instruction. During the entire adjustment process, the user's palm does not need to be shifted as a whole, so that the user's exercise state will not be interrupted, which is conducive to improving the user's exercise effect and enhancing the user's experience. Integrating the operating parts of the rotation adjustment function and the press adjustment function into the operating knob can not only make the ring-type Bluetooth controller compact, but also further facilitate user use. The provision of the first reinforcement rib / the second reinforcement rib on the upper shell can not only improve the structural strength of the upper shell, but also support the first circuit board / the second circuit board, which is conducive to improving the stability of the internal structure of the ring-type Bluetooth controller.

[0057] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent transformations made using the contents of the present invention's description and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
