[0052] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the present invention is not limited to the contents described below, and can be arbitrarily changed in the scope of the main purpose. In addition, the drawings used in the description of the embodiments are all drawings schematically showing the components, and some parts are emphasized, enlarged, reduced or omitted in order to deepen the understanding, and sometimes the scale, shape, etc. of the components are not accurately shown.

[0053] <First Embodiment>

[0054] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram showing a use case of the motion state display device 1 involved in the first embodiment. The motion state display device 1 is a device that can generate an actual load that matches the movements of various sports to perform performance evaluation. In this embodiment, the motion state display device 1 is described by using an example of use during baseball batting practice.

[0055] The motion state display device 1 is configured in appearance to release a cable 4 from an opening 3 provided on the front of a housing 2, and the front end of the cable 4 is connected to a position near the core of a bat B. In addition, the motion state display device 1 provides resistance to the force of pulling the cable 4 according to the stroke of the cable 4 released in accordance with the hitting action of the user, as described in detail later, thereby displaying the waveform of the swing speed when the training load is changed during the swing of the bat B on the display device D. In addition, the cable 4 may be connected to the wrist of the user.

[0056] In addition, in this embodiment, the motion status display device 1 is fixed to a predetermined position of the support P, but the fixed position may be changed in accordance with the action or the user, and may be fixed to a wall, ceiling or floor according to the usage.

[0057] Figure 21 is a schematic diagram showing the internal structure of the motion state display device 1. The housing 2 mainly includes a reel 5, a rotating shaft 6, a spiral spring 7, a rotary encoder 8, a magnetorheological fluid device 9, and a control unit 10.

[0058] The drum 5 is a cylindrical member for winding the cable 4. The rotating shaft 6 is fixed to the axis of the drum 5. The coil spring 7 is composed of a strip of metal wound around the rotating shaft 6, with the inner end fixed to the rotating shaft 6 and the outer end fixed to the inner wall surface of the housing 2, for example, so as to apply force to make the drum 5 wind up the unwound cable 4.

[0059] The rotary encoder 8 is fixed to the housing 2 and detects the rotation state of the drum 5 via the rotating shaft 6. Here, the rotation state is, for example, time series information of the rotation angle, which is used to calculate the stroke amount or the release speed when the cable 4 is released. That is, in this embodiment, the drum 5 around which the cable 4 is wound and the rotary encoder 8 that detects the rotation state of the drum 5 constitute a "measuring unit" for measuring the stroke amount of the cable 4.

[0060] The magnetorheological fluid device 9 is a well-known MRF (Magneto-Rheological Fluid) device, which controls the magnitude of the applied magnetism to cause viscous resistance to act on the input rotational force. In this embodiment, the magnetorheological fluid device 9 applies a braking force to the rotation of the drum 5 via the rotating shaft 6, thereby applying a load to the release of the cable 4. The braking force is released when the force for releasing the cable 4 does not work, and the cable 4 is wound on the drum 5 by the applied force of the coil spring 7.

[0061] The control unit 10 is composed of, for example, a known microcomputer control circuit, and calculates the length of the cable 4 that has been unwound, that is, the stroke amount, based on the output value of the rotary encoder 8. In addition, the control unit 10 stores a load curve (see FIG. 1 ) showing the relationship between the stroke amount of the cable 4 and the braking force of the magnetorheological fluid device 9. Figure 3 ), the magnetorheological fluid device 9 generates a braking force that follows a load curve described later in response to the stroke amount that changes with the action.

[0062] Figure 3 is a waveform diagram showing the motion speed and load curve corresponding to a series of motions. More specifically, Figure 3 The upper figure shows the change in form of the hitting action illustrated in the present embodiment, and shows how the stroke amount of the cable 4 changes in accordance with the change in form.

[0063] At this time, inside the motion state display device 1, the cable 4 wound around the drum 5 is unwound in accordance with the user's motion, and the rotary encoder 8 detects the rotation state of the drum 5. In addition, the control unit 10 measures the stroke amount of the cable 4 based on the rotation state of the drum 5 (stroke amount measuring step). Furthermore, the control unit 10 controls the magnetorheological fluid device 9 to apply a braking force to the drum 5 according to the calculated stroke amount to change the load of the motion (load changing step).

[0064] Then, the control unit 10 calculates the speed at which the cable 4 is released corresponding to the stroke amount based on the output value of the rotary encoder 8, and transmits it to the display device D via a wired or wireless communication unit (not shown). Figure 3 As shown by the solid line in the lower figure, the display device D displays the measured waveform of the speed at which the cable 4 is paid out (display step).

[0065] By using the exercise status display method including the above series of steps, the user of the exercise status display device 1 can confirm the performance of his own movements on the display device D. More specifically, Figure 3 As shown in the figure below, the display device D visualizes how the speed of the cable 4 changes with respect to the stroke amount [mm] corresponding to each instantaneous form through a waveform. Therefore, the user can know the swing speed at each moment during the batting action.

[0066] In addition to displaying the measured waveform of the swing speed, the display device D can also superimpose a target waveform of the speed. Thus, the user can compare the measured waveform with the target waveform and evaluate the exercise state suitable for improving performance. For example, when there is excess force in the swing action, it can be confirmed that the timing of the measured speed rising earlier than the target speed (ΔS) or the force is dispersed and the peak speed does not rise sufficiently (ΔV).

[0067] Furthermore, in addition to displaying the waveform of the swing speed, the display device D can also overlap and display a load curve representing the change in the load W [kg] of the braking force generated by the magnetorheological fluid device 9. The load curve is a waveform of the load borne by the user in action relative to the stroke amount, and is set in advance according to the type or characteristics of the action. In the case of a batting action such as the present embodiment, the waveform is set in such a way that the load is low at the beginning of the swing of the bat B and reaches the maximum load Wmax at the moment of the strike shown in (5) in the figure. More specifically, here, for example, a waveform is set to reach the maximum load Wmax = 16 [kg] at the moment of the stroke amount = 150 [mm].

[0068] By superimposing and displaying the load curve, the user can visualize whether the swing speed is not excessively reduced (SD) at the peak of the load, for example, and evaluate whether the shot is not inferior to the impact at the moment of impact.

[0069] In addition, the load curve is measured and set in advance based on the theoretical value of each action. According to parameters such as the assumed ball speed or ball type, the size or peak position of the maximum load Wmax at the hitting point can be adjusted as a waveform change of the load curve.

[0070] Here, the load curve may be stored in the control unit 10 as a plurality of waveforms with different characteristics, or may be appropriately received from the outside as load curve data. Then, the user can select and adjust the load curve so that the load changes along the course of his or her own movement, thereby being able to evaluate the motion state in the actual movement that meets the purpose.

[0071] As described above, the exercise status display device 1 of this embodiment can reproduce the actual load without limiting the motion form by changing the load size based on the stroke amount of the cable 4. Therefore, the exercise status display device 1 can perform performance evaluation along the actual motion of the sport.

[0072] <Second Embodiment>

[0073] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The motion state display device 11 involved in the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the release portion of the cable 4 in the motion state display device 1 of the first embodiment. Below, the parts different from the first embodiment will be described, and the same reference numerals are given to the components common to the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0074] Figure 4 2 is a perspective view of the appearance of the motion state display device 11 according to the second embodiment. The housing 2 and its internal structure of the motion state display device 11 are substantially the same as those of the motion state display device 1 according to the first embodiment, and a cable angle detection unit 20 for detecting the cable angle θ at which the cable 4 is released is provided on the front of the housing 2.

[0075] More specifically, the cable angle detection unit 20 in the present embodiment is a mechanism for detecting the angle at which the cable 4 extends in the vertical direction, and includes a pair of support portions 21 , a rotating portion 22 , a protruding portion 23 , and an angle sensor 24 .

[0076] One end of a pair of support parts 21 is fixed to the front of the housing 2, and the other end extends in a manner that becomes a rotation axis in the horizontal direction relative to the rotating part 22. The rotating part 22 is formed with a through hole for inserting the cable 4 extending from the opening part 3 of the housing 2, and is rotatably connected to the pair of support parts 21. The protrusion 23 is not a necessary structure of the cable angle detection part 20, but is a component for making the rotation displacement of the rotating part 22 easily follow the extension direction of the cable 4. The angle sensor 24 can detect the rotation angle of the support part 21 and the rotating part 22, for example, using the same sensor as the above-mentioned rotary encoder 8.

[0077] In this way, when the extension direction of the cable 4 released from the opening 3 changes due to the action of the user, the cable angle detection unit 20 can detect the cable angle θ (-90°<θ<90°) by detecting the rotation angle of the rotating unit 22 rotating to follow the extension direction through the angle sensor 24. The cable angle θ is always sent from the angle sensor 24 to the control unit 10 during the operation of the motion state display device 11.

[0078] Thus, the control unit 10 can detect the cable angle θ in the vertical direction in addition to the stroke amount of the cable 4. Therefore, the control unit 10 can more accurately recognize the state of the user's action at each moment, and can control the braking force of the magnetorheological fluid device 9 according to the stroke amount and the cable angle θ to change the magnitude of the load.

[0079] In addition, the structure of the cable angle detection unit 20 is only an example, and other structures with the same function can be used. In addition, in the present embodiment, the cable angle θ in the vertical direction can be detected by the cable angle detection unit 20, but the cable angle φ in the horizontal direction can also be detected by combining the same structure. In this case, the motion state display device 11 obtains the cable angle θ and the cable angle φ in addition to the stroke amount, thereby determining the position of the front end of the cable 4 in the three-dimensional space, so that more detailed load control can be performed in accordance with the trajectory of the action. In addition, the motion state display device 11 can detect the measured speed along the swing trajectory in the three-dimensional space.

[0080] <Third Embodiment>

[0081] Next, the third embodiment of the present invention is described. The motion state display system 12 involved in the third embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a plurality of the motion state display devices 1 of the first embodiment are used in conjunction with each other. Below, the parts different from the first embodiment are described, and the same reference numerals are given to the components common to the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions are omitted.

[0082] Figure 51 is a schematic diagram showing a use example of the motion state display system 12 of the third embodiment. The motion state display system 12 includes a first motion state display device 12a and a second motion state display device 12b, both of which are composed of the motion state display device 1 of the first embodiment, and the first motion state display device 12a and the second motion state display device 12b are configured separately from each other. In addition, in this embodiment, the front end of the cable 4 of each of the first motion state display device 12a and the second motion state display device 12b is connected to a position near the core of the bat B.

[0083] However, the force required for the hitting action changes moment by moment as shown by the dotted line arrow on the swing trajectory of the bat B. Therefore, the load more suitable for the actual action also changes direction along the swing trajectory.

[0084] Therefore, in the motion state display system 12 of the present embodiment, the load curves of the first motion state display device 12a and the second motion state display device 12b are set to different waveforms as shown in Wa and Wb, respectively, and the two cooperate to change the direction of the load. More specifically, Wa and Wb are set in such a way that the composite vector of the load applied to the cables 4 of the first motion state display device 12a and the second motion state display device 12b at each moment becomes the load. In addition, the trajectory of the action is calculated based on the difference in the stroke amount of the first motion state display device 12a and the second motion state display device 12b.

[0085] Therefore, according to the motion state display system 12 involved in the third embodiment, the size of the load relative to the stroke of the cable 4 is linked between the first motion state display device 12a and the second motion state display device 12b by coordinating the trajectory of the action, so that the motion state can be displayed with a load that is more suitable for the actual action.

[0086] In addition, in the first motion state display device 12a and the second motion state display device 12b, the configuration of the action or the track thereof is appropriately set. In addition, the first motion state display device 12a and the second motion state display device 12b can also respectively connect the front end of the cable 4 to different positions of the bat B to generate complex loads.

[0087] The above is the end of the description of the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the above embodiments, the method used in the batting action of baseball is illustrated, but by appropriately setting the installation position and load curve of the motion state display device, it can also be used for different items or actions such as baseball pitching, tennis or golf swings, rowing paddling operations, and volleyball hitting. For example, in the case of rowing paddle operations, a cable 4 is connected from the part of the paddle that the user holds to the front end of the fulcrum to provide resistance to the paddling operation. In addition, it can also be applied to training devices for rehabilitation training.

[0088] In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiments, the control unit 10 sends information such as the speed of the cable 4 to the display device D for display, but it can also be sent to a portable terminal such as the user's smartphone or tablet computer, a smart watch, smart glasses, VR goggles, AR goggles and other wearable terminals for display.

[0089] In addition, in each of the above-mentioned embodiments, as a measuring unit for measuring the stroke amount of the cable 4, a method using the reel 5 and the rotary encoder 8 is exemplified, but other methods may be used as long as the stroke amount of the cable 4 following the user's movement can be calculated. For example, a wireless communication mother unit may be provided in the housing 2 of the motion state display device 1, and a wireless communication child unit may be provided at the front end side of the cable 4, so as to calculate the stroke amount of the cable 4 by using changes in the radio wave strength or signal propagation time between the mother unit and the child unit.

[0090] In addition, in the housing 2 of the motion state display device 1, a camera may be used instead of the rotary encoder 8 to detect the rotation state of the reel 5. In this case, for example, a disk with circular marks applied at equal intervals is provided on the rotating shaft 6 of the reel 5, and the stroke amount of the cable 4 can be detected by the interval of the reading time of the marks photographed by the camera and the rotation speed.
