[0035] There are two types of height gauges on the market: fixed-height and adjustable-height gauges. However, the height of the height gauge is always determined manually with the help of an external height ruler, and there is no function to output relevant height parameters to external equipment.

[0036] The present invention provides a flexible circuit board, a height training device and a height positioning method, aiming to realize automatic calculation of the height position of the height training device and output of height parameters, and realize intelligent collection of height training.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the flexible circuit board 1 includes a flexible film 11 and a matrix circuit 12. The matrix circuit 12 is disposed on the flexible film 11. The matrix circuit 12 includes a plurality of contacts 121, and a contact 121 is connected so that the matrix circuit 12 generates an electrical signal.

[0038] In this embodiment, the matrix circuit 12 is integrally printed on the flexible film 11. The matrix circuit 12 includes a plurality of contacts 121. By connecting one of the contacts 121, the matrix circuit 12 can generate an electrical signal and transmit the electrical signal. By transmitting the electrical signal, the transmission of the height position information can be achieved.

It can be a single-layer conductive circuit. By pressing an external conductive silicone cap on the single-layer flexible circuit, the circuit can still be turned on, generate an electrical signal, and transmit the electrical signal; it can also be a conductive circuit of at least two layers. By connecting at least two layers of conductive circuits, the circuit is turned on and the required electrical signal is generated.

[0039] The flexible circuit board 1 proposed in the technical solution of the present invention includes a flexible film 11 and a matrix circuit 12 printed on the flexible film 11. The matrix circuit 12 is provided with a plurality of contacts 121. By connecting the contacts 121, the matrix circuit 12 can generate an electrical signal. By analyzing the generation position of the electrical signal, the relative position of the contact 121 with respect to the flexible circuit board 1 can be obtained, and then the tapping position of the high reach training device 100 can be obtained; by analyzing the number of times the electrical signal is generated, the number of times the contact 121 is triggered can be obtained, and then the number of times the high reach training device 100 is tapped can be obtained, thereby realizing the intelligent collection of high reach training.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible film 11 includes a first conductive portion 111 and a second conductive portion 112 which are stacked. The first conductive portion 111 is provided with a contact 121, and the second conductive portion 112 is provided with a circuit connection and the contact 121. The contact 121 of the first conductive portion 111 contacts the contact 121 at the corresponding position of the second conductive portion 112 and forms a closed circuit with the circuit connection so that the matrix circuit 12 generates an electrical signal.

[0041] In this embodiment, the flexible film 11 includes a first conductive part 111 and a second conductive part 112, both of which are sheet-like structures. The first conductive part 111 and the second conductive part 112 are stacked, the first conductive part 111 is provided with a contact 121, and the second conductive part 112 is provided with a circuit connection and a contact 121. By contacting the contact 121 of the first conductive part 111 with the contact 121 at the corresponding position of the second conductive part 112, the contact circuit connection on the second conductive part 112 is connected to form a closed circuit, so that the matrix circuit 12 generates an electrical signal, and the transmission of the electrical signal can realize the transmission of height information. By analyzing the generation position of the electrical signal, the relative position of the contact 121 relative to the flexible circuit board 1 can be obtained, and then the tapping position of the touch height training device 100 can be obtained; by analyzing the number of times the electrical signal is generated, the number of times the contact 121 is triggered can be obtained, and then the number of times the touch height training device 100 is tapped can be obtained, so as to realize the intelligent collection of touch height training.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible film 11 is a single-layer conductive layer, and the flexible film 11 is provided with circuit connections and contacts 121. The flexible circuit board 1 also includes an external single short-circuit contact 13, and the external single short-circuit contact 13 is used to press on the contact 121 at the corresponding position of the single-layer conductive layer and form a closed circuit with the circuit connection so that the matrix circuit 12 generates an electrical signal.

[0043] In this embodiment, the flexible film 11 is provided in a single layer, and a circuit connection line and a contact 121 are provided on the single conductive layer, and the circuit connection line is electrically connected to the contact 121. The flexible circuit board 1 also includes an external single short-circuit contact 13. By abutting the external single short-circuit contact 13 with the contact 121, conduction with the circuit connection line can be achieved, a closed circuit is formed, and an electrical signal is generated. The external single short-circuit contact 13 can be a conductive silicone cap, or a tap button 5 provided with a conductive contact 121, which is not further limited here.

[0044] In one example, the second conductive part 112 may also be a PCB board, which can make the electrical connection between the first conductive part 111 and the second conductive part 112 more stable and reduce the risk of poor contact and short circuit. The PCB board is usually made of durable materials, which can withstand the wear and tear of the daily use of the height sensor and the interference of the environment, thereby increasing the service life. In addition, the PCB board can realize new functions by adding new electronic components.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible circuit board 1 further includes an interlayer 113 sandwiched between the first conductive portion 111 and the second conductive portion 112, and a plurality of through holes are opened on the interlayer 113. The contact 121 of the first conductive portion 111 and the contact 121 at the corresponding position of the second conductive portion 112 are in contact through the through holes, and the contact circuit of the second conductive portion 112 is connected to form a closed circuit, so that the matrix circuit 12 generates an electrical signal.

[0046] In this embodiment, a partition 113 is provided between the first conductive part 111 and the second conductive part 112 to prevent a short circuit between the first conductive part 111 and the second conductive part 112. The partition 113 is provided with a through hole at the relative position of the contact 121, so that the contacts 121 at the corresponding positions of the first conductive part 111 and the second conductive part 112 can be abutted through the through hole, and the contact circuit connection of the second conductive part 112 forms a closed circuit, so that the matrix circuit 12 generates an electrical signal. By analyzing the generation position of the electrical signal, the relative position of the contact 121 relative to the flexible circuit board 1 can be obtained, and then the tapping position of the high reach trainer 100 can be obtained; by analyzing the number of times the electrical signal is generated, the number of times the contact 121 is triggered can be obtained, and then the number of times the high reach trainer 100 is tapped can be obtained, so as to realize the intelligent collection of high reach training.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of contacts 121 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the flexible film 11 , forming a single-column, multi-row, evenly spaced distribution pattern.

[0048] In this embodiment, a plurality of contacts 121 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the flexible film 11 in a single column and multiple rows with equal spacing, so that the distance between two adjacent contacts 121 is the same, even if the tapping height intervals corresponding to two adjacent contacts 121 are the same, which facilitates the calculation of the tapping height.

[0049] In one example, the distance between two adjacent contact points 121 is 1.5 cm, 2 cm, 2.5 cm, 3 cm or any value within the above range, which is not further limited here. The distance between two adjacent contact points 121 should not be too small, as a too small distance will be more affected by structural errors or assembly errors, making the height measurement result inaccurate; the distance between two adjacent contact points 121 should not be too large, as a distance greater than 3 cm will result in a too large distance between two adjacent gears, which is not conducive to training advancement.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, the flexible film 11 includes but is not limited to PET material, PC material, TPU material, DuPont paper or PU material.

[0051] In this embodiment, the flexible film 11 is made of PET material, which has a certain degree of flexibility. The PET material has high crystallinity, good creep resistance, fatigue resistance, friction resistance, dimensional stability, and high hardness. In one example, the flexible film 11 made of PET material can be corona treated to reduce the interference of static electricity on itself. The flexible film 11 can also be made of PC material, TPU material, DuPont paper or PU material.

[0052] See also Figures 3 to 5 The present invention also proposes a reach height trainer 100, comprising an assembly frame 2, a flexible circuit board 1, a control chip 3 and a main control MCU4, wherein the flexible circuit board 1 is the flexible circuit board 1 as described above, and the flexible circuit board 1 is arranged in the assembly frame 2; the control chip 3 is arranged in the assembly frame 2 and is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 1 for scanning the flexible circuit board 1; the main control MCU4 is electrically connected or communicationally connected to the control chip 3.

[0053] In the present embodiment, the assembly frame 2 can be made of hard plastic material, which is durable and cost-saving, or light metal, such as aluminum alloy, etc., can be used. The material of the assembly frame 2 is not further limited here. The control chip 3 and the main control MCU4 are electrically connected or communicated so that the high touch training device 100 can be managed intelligently. The control chip 3 receives the trigger information of the contact 121 on the flexible circuit board 1, and the training data can be monitored and recorded in real time. The control chip 3 and the main control MCU4 can store the data that the contact 121 is triggered during each training, including the number of times, frequency and height, etc., which helps the user or coach to analyze the training effect and progress. The control chip 3 and the main control MCU4 can also provide instant feedback according to the trigger information of the contact 121, and encourage the user to continue training or remind the user to adjust the training intensity by controlling the speaker or the light-emitting part, such as by sound, light or vibration. The control chip 3 can monitor the training intensity, and when it is detected that the user jumps too frequently or the intensity is too large, a warning can be issued to prevent overtraining and potential sports injuries. The control chip 3 can be connected to an external display device, such as a screen or a smart watch, to provide a richer interactive experience, such as a virtual competition or achievement system.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present invention, the reach trainer 100 further includes a tap button 5, which is slidably connected to the assembly frame 2, and the tap button 5 is provided with a contact. Pressing the tap button 5 causes the contact to abut against the contact point 121 to close the matrix circuit 12.

[0055] In this embodiment, a contact is provided on the slap button 5 to abut against the contact 121 on the flexible circuit board 1, thereby closing the matrix circuit 12 and generating an electrical signal. In a preferred embodiment, the height of the slap button 5 can be quickly adjusted by designing the slide groove and the card position on the assembly frame 2, without disassembling the touch height training device 100, thereby improving the convenience of use. The slap button 5 can be easily moved along the slide groove and clamped on the card positions at different heights through the cooperation of the buckle and the slide groove, which is simple to operate and easy for children to use. Since the height of the slap button 5 can be flexibly adjusted, the touch height training device 100 can adapt to the use needs of children of different heights, thereby increasing the applicability and practicality of the touch height training device 100. In an example, the edge of the slap button 5 or the edge of the slide groove on the assembly frame 2 can be designed so that it provides slight resistance or tactile feedback when passing through each contact 121.

[0056] See also Figure 6 to Figure 7 The present invention also proposes a height positioning method, using the height training device 100 as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0057] Step S1: obtaining the number of the contact 121 triggered by the tapping button to trigger the flexible circuit board 1;

[0058] Step S2: obtaining the initial height of the top of the reach training device 100 when it is fixed;

[0059] Step S3: Calculate and obtain the current shooting height according to the number and the initial height.

[0060] In this embodiment, when the tap button 5 of the reach height trainer 100 is tapped, the contact 121 is triggered, the circuit of the flexible circuit board 1 is closed, and an electrical signal is generated. The control chip 3 scans and receives the closed electrical signal of the key contact 121 of the matrix circuit 12 on the flexible circuit board 1, and internally parses the position code of the closed contact 121, and sends the corresponding position code to the main control MCU4 through the serial communication port or Bluetooth; the main control MCU4 calculates the actual height of the current tap button 5 based on the basic height from the ground of the reach height trainer 100 after installation (the initial value manually input) and the obtained position code of the closed contact 121, and counts the number of taps.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, the step S3 of calculating and obtaining the actual height of the current tap button 5 according to the number and the initial height specifically includes:

[0062] Step S31: Obtain the height corresponding to the number;

[0063] Step S32: The sum of the height and the initial height is the current shooting height.

[0064] In this embodiment, the main control MCU4 stores a comparison table of "contact 121 position code and height", one contact 121 code corresponds to a vertical height, and the basic height from the ground after the height training device 100 is installed is manually input. The height of the closed contact 121 position can be obtained by adding the two together, and finally the actual height of the current tapping button 5 is calculated, and the number of tapping times is counted.

[0065] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
