Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of treadmills, and in particular to a treadmill based on infrared recognition and adjustment and an adjustment method. Background Art

[0002] In the current treadmill control field, the traditional control method mainly relies on button operation or remote control. Users need to adjust the speed and start and stop status of the treadmill by pressing the corresponding button or using the remote control. However, the traditional control method has some disadvantages.

[0003] The traditional button method is not flexible enough when running. Users need to press specific buttons to adjust the speed and stop the treadmill while running. This method is not intuitive and relatively cumbersome to operate. In addition, with the knob-type speed adjustment method, users can often only select a few preset speed gears and cannot achieve more precise adjustments.

[0004] The traditional remote control operation method is not convenient to use. Users need to hold the remote control and press buttons to achieve control, which often requires additional operation steps and increases the complexity of operation. In addition, the remote control is easy to lose or damage, which brings inconvenience to users.

[0005] In addition, traditional buttons and remote control buttons are prone to wear and tear. Frequent pressing of buttons and sweat from fingers during running can lead to button corrosion and even button failure. At the same time, the remote control is also prone to collision or falling, causing damage to the remote control.

[0006] In summary, the traditional treadmill button control method has the disadvantages of inflexible operation, inconvenient use, and easy wear. In view of these problems, the present invention proposes a treadmill control system with multifunctional gesture recognition, aiming to provide a more flexible, convenient and durable control method. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a treadmill and an adjustment method based on infrared recognition adjustment in order to overcome the defects of the conventional treadmill in the prior art that is inconvenient to operate and not flexible enough through key control.

[0011] Preferably, the control panel is provided with a safety switch connected to the treadmill body, the main control chip is integrated with a sensing distance adjustment circuit, and the sensing specific adjustment circuit is used to adjust the sensing distance of the infrared recognition module;

When the safety switch is triggered and the infrared recognition module detects the user, the treadmill body stops moving.

[0013] Preferably, the control panel comprises a box body, the number of the infrared emitting tubes is plural, the infrared emitting tubes are symmetrically distributed around the same side of the box body, and the infrared receiving tube is located at the center of the box body.

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0040] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the directions or positional relationships in which the inventive product is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0043] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0044] In addition, the terms "horizontal", "vertical" and the like do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a treadmill based on infrared recognition adjustment, including a treadmill body 1 and a control panel 2, the control panel 2 is provided with an infrared recognition module and a main control chip, and the main control chip pre-stores the treadmill body 1 adjustment instructions corresponding to the gesture signal;

[0047] The infrared recognition module includes an infrared transmitting tube and an infrared receiving tube. The infrared receiving tube is integrated on the main control chip. The infrared recognition module is used to obtain the change in ambient light when the user makes a gesture. The main control chip is used to determine the gesture signal corresponding to the change in ambient light and adjust the treadmill body 1 according to the gesture signal.

[0048] In this solution, when the user makes a gesture on the treadmill body 1, the infrared transmitting tube cooperates with the infrared receiving tube to receive the change in ambient light caused by the gesture, and converts the change in ambient light into an analog signal, which is compared with the gesture signal pre-stored in the control chip to determine the instruction corresponding to the gesture, and control the treadmill body 1 to make corresponding adjustments.

[0049] By using an infrared transmitting tube in conjunction with an infrared receiving tube, the change in ambient light caused by the user's gesture action is obtained to determine the corresponding gesture signal command to adjust the treadmill body. Compared with the existing method of adjusting through panel contact, the adjustment operation is convenient and quick, and the gesture commands can be adaptively adjusted according to the user, which is more practical and flexible to use.

[0050] Preferred implementation mode, as Figure 3 As shown, the control panel 2 is provided with a safety switch 26 connected to the treadmill body 1, and the main control chip 23 is integrated with a sensing distance adjustment circuit, and the sensing specific adjustment circuit is used to adjust the sensing distance of the infrared recognition module;

[0051] When the user moves on the treadmill body 1, the sensing distance adjustment circuit adjusts the sensing distance of the infrared recognition module to correspond to the running belt length of the treadmill body 1. When the safety switch 26 is triggered and the infrared recognition module detects the user, the treadmill body 1 stops moving.

[0052] By setting a safety switch on the control panel and integrating a sensing distance adjustment circuit for the sensing distance of the infrared recognition module in the main control chip, when the user is using it, the recognition range of the infrared recognition module is limited to the running belt of the treadmill. When the infrared recognition module cannot detect the user and the safety switch is triggered, it is determined that the user falls while running, and the control chip 23 controls the treadmill body 1 to stop moving, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the use of the treadmill.

[0053] When the treadmill stops in an emergency, the information about the user's fall is uploaded to the server. After receiving the emergency signal, the server will automatically dial the user's phone number and connect the operator. At this time, the operator can inquire about the emergency and deal with it, thereby improving the safety of treadmill use.

[0054] Preferred implementation mode, as Figure 1 As shown, the control panel 2 includes a box body 21, a plurality of infrared emitting tubes 22, each infrared emitting tube 22 is symmetrically distributed around the same side of the box body 21, and the infrared receiving tube is located at the center of the box body 21. Preferably, four infrared emitting tubes 22 are used, distributed around the control panel.

[0055] By symmetrically setting up multiple infrared transmitting tubes around the side of the box facing the user, and cooperating with the infrared receiving tube located in the center of the multiple infrared transmitting tubes, the change in ambient light of the user's gesture movements can be obtained, which can effectively improve the accuracy, stability and diversity of gesture recognition, making the user's operation more precise and flexible.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 5As shown, the main control chip 23 is also integrated with a communication circuit, which is connected to the server via WIFI wireless communication to upload the user's running information and environmental information.

[0057] The control panel 2 is provided with a display screen 24 and an atmosphere light, which are respectively connected to the main control chip 23. The main control chip 23 is also integrated with an ambient light detection circuit, which is used to detect the ambient light intensity. The main control chip 23 adaptively adjusts the brightness of the display screen 24 and the atmosphere light according to the ambient light intensity.

[0058] Furthermore, a speaker is provided on the control panel, and the speaker is connected to the control chip. The speaker can play the music in the mobile phone, and the change of the atmosphere light can provide an interactive environment for the user.

[0059] After connecting to the server, it connects to the SQL database through TCP communication to store and read data. Users can control the treadmill's speed, slope, screen display style, ambient light effects, music playback and other functions through the mobile phone APP, and can also check running data, body temperature and other data.

[0060] Optionally, the control panel 2 is further provided with an adjustment button 27 , which is connected to the treadmill body 1 and is used to adjust the treadmill body 1 .

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, a flame and smoke detection sensor is provided on the control panel 2, and the main control chip 23 is connected to the flame and smoke detection sensor. Correspondingly, when the user finishes running and the user is on the running belt of the treadmill, the dormant multifunctional main control chip will automatically wake up, and the system will enter the normal working mode. After a long period of no user detection, the system will automatically sleep and enter the power saving mode and turn on the flame detection mode.

[0062] The flame detection mode is carried out in the power saving mode. There is a lens on the infrared receiving tube that can receive the flame wavelength. When the system enters the power saving mode, the flame smoke detection function will be added to the presence sensing mode. After the flame smoke is detected in this mode, the multi-functional main control IC (i.e., the main control chip 23) calculates the fire and uploads it to the server. The server will automatically dial the user's phone number and connect the operator after receiving the emergency signal. At this time, the operator can inquire about the emergency and deal with it.

[0063] Furthermore, an anti-cross-light circuit is integrated on the main control chip 23. Compared with the infrared transmission and reception method using a 38K carrier and a photoelectric switch, the main control chip 23 integrates an anti-cross-light circuit and a distance adaptive adjustment circuit, which does not require additional light isolation measures and realizes a variety of distance sensing and gesture recognition, making installation more convenient and concise.

[0064] Among them, the box body 21 includes a base 212 and a cover plate 211. The base 212 is provided with a accommodating cavity for accommodating structures such as chips. The cover plate 211 is fixed to the base 212 by screws. The cover plate 211 is provided with multiple mounting holes for installing structures such as display screens, infrared emitting tubes or storage boxes. The overall structure of the box body 21 can be a gourd structure.

[0065] Optionally, a storage box 25 is further provided on the control panel 2, and the storage box 25 is a cavity structure and is located on the side of the box body 21 close to the user. Relatively expensive items such as mobile phones can be stored in the storage box 25 to improve the convenience and practicality of use.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment also provides a treadmill adjustment method based on infrared recognition adjustment, comprising the following steps:

[0067] The electrical signal corresponding to the gesture signal and the adjustment instruction of the treadmill body 1 corresponding to the gesture signal are pre-stored in the main control chip;

[0068] The infrared recognition module is used to obtain the change in ambient light when the user performs gestures;

[0069] The ambient light change is converted into a corresponding actual analog signal through the main control chip;

[0070] The actual analog signal is compared with the electrical signal pre-stored in the main control chip to determine the gesture signal corresponding to the electrical signal, and then the corresponding gesture instruction is sent to the treadmill body 1 to complete the adjustment of the treadmill body 1.

[0071] When the treadmill control panel is started, the multi-function main control IC is initialized first, and then it is determined whether it is used. If a user approaches, the relevant functions are activated; otherwise, it enters the power saving mode and turns on the flame detection mode. The initialization of the multi-function main control IC will initialize the communication circuit, infrared recognition module, display screen, atmosphere light, speaker and the program in the main control chip.

[0072] Users can control the various functions of the treadmill through gestures without pressing buttons on the panel, making operation more convenient and quick, and improving the user experience; using gestures to control the treadmill can avoid safety hazards caused by users operating the panel during exercise, thereby improving the safety of treadmill use; gesture control increases the interactivity between the user and the treadmill, making the treadmill more intelligent and the interaction between the user and the device more intimate; through gesture control, more new functions can be added to the treadmill, such as gesture speed adjustment, gesture mode switching, etc., to improve the functionality and innovation of the product; adding an infrared gesture recognition module makes the treadmill more intelligent and user-friendly, improves the competitiveness of the product, and gains more attention and recognition in the market.

[0073] In combination with the above preferred implementation modes, Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a specific correspondence between gesture instructions and treadmill adjustment instructions, as well as a specific adjustment method:

[0074] 1) Left hand wave: treadmill slows down. When the user waves his hand from right to left at a distance of 20 cm above the multi-function main control IC on the treadmill panel, the multi-function main control IC receives the change in infrared intensity, identifies it as a left hand wave, and slows down the treadmill motor.

[0075] 2) Hovering: Start and stop the treadmill. When the user hovers his palm from top to bottom at a distance of 20 cm above the multi-function main control IC on the treadmill panel, the multi-function main control IC receives the change in infrared intensity, identifies it as a hovering action, and starts and stops the motor.

[0076] 3) Right hand wave: treadmill speeds up. When the user waves his hand from left to right at a distance of 20 cm above the multi-function main control IC on the treadmill panel, the multi-function IC receives the change in infrared intensity and judges it as a right hand wave, and then speeds up the treadmill motor.

[0077] 4) Waving upward: The treadmill climbing motor rises. When the user waves his hand upward from the bottom to the top at a distance of 20 cm above the multi-function main control IC on the treadmill panel, the multi-function main control IC receives the change in infrared intensity, identifies it as a waving upward action, and speeds up the treadmill motor.

[0078] 5) Waving down: The treadmill climbing motor descends. When the user waves his hand from top to bottom at a distance of 20 cm above the multi-function main control IC on the treadmill panel, the multi-function main control IC receives the change in infrared intensity, identifies it as a waving down action, and speeds up the treadmill motor.

[0079] 6) Left rotation: The volume of the treadmill speaker decreases. When the user rotates his palm counterclockwise for one circle at a distance of 20 cm above the multi-function main control IC on the treadmill panel, the multi-function main control IC receives the change in infrared intensity and determines it as a right rotation action, and the volume of the speaker decreases by 1.

[0080] 7) Right rotation: The treadmill speaker volume increases. When the user rotates his palm clockwise once at a distance of 20 cm above the multi-function main control IC on the treadmill panel, the multi-function main control IC receives the change in infrared intensity and determines it as a right rotation action, and the speaker volume increases by 1.

[0081] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. It should be understood that a person skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes based on the concept of the present invention without creative work. Therefore, any technical solution that can be obtained by a person skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the concept of the present invention on the basis of the prior art should be within the scope of protection determined by the claims.
