[0028] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0029] The embodiments of the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-9 , this embodiment provides a sports counter, including a counter main body 10 and a support member 20 and a suspension member 30 installed on the counter main body 10.

[0031] The counter main body 10 includes a housing 11, a screen 12, and a photoelectric sensor 13.

[0032] The housing 11 includes a base 111 and a top cover 112. The base 111 includes a bottom plate 1111 and side plates 1112 that bend and extend from the edge of the bottom plate 1111 towards the top cover 112. The side plates 1112 and the bottom plate 1111 cooperate to enclose a receiving space with an open top. The top cover 112 is connected to the side plates 1112 and covers the open top of the base 111.

[0033] The connection method between the top cover 112 and the side plates 1112 can be glue fixation, ultrasonic welding, or snap connection. In this embodiment, the top cover 112 is directly snapped onto the side plates 1112 and is in interference fit with the side plates 1112. The side plates 1112 apply a squeezing force to clamp the top cover 112.

[0034] The screen 12 is fixed to the base 111. Posts for supporting the screen 12 are provided on the base 111, and the screen 12 is fixed to the posts by bolts. The screen 12 is used to display images to achieve a human-machine interaction function. The displayed content can include the product brand LOGO, the currently selected function, the count number, the timing time, the current time, etc. The displayed content can be selected according to the conventional requirements in this field, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0035] The optoelectronic sensor 13 is encapsulated at the edge position of the screen 12, which can make full use of the edge space of the screen 12 to achieve a more compact layout.

[0036] The optoelectronic sensor 13 is a reflective infrared sensor, including a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter and the receiver are encapsulated together. The light emitted by the transmitter is blocked by an object and then reflected back in the opposite direction, and is captured by the receiver to generate an induction signal.

[0037] The top cover 112 is made of a transparent material corresponding to the display area of the screen 12 and the position of the optoelectronic sensor 13, so that the content displayed on the screen 12 can be transmitted outward through the top cover 112. Similarly, the light emitted by the optoelectronic sensor 13 can also be transmitted outward through the top cover 112.

[0038] It is understandable that the counter body 10 also includes a power supply module, a control module and a function key module. The power supply module is used to supply power to the screen 12 and the photoelectric sensor 13; the control module is used to control the operation of the screen 12 and the photoelectric sensor 13; the function key is used as a human-computer interaction port to receive a pressing instruction input by the user and switch between different functions. For example, the function key includes a power key, a function switch key, a volume switch key, etc. The above modules are all conventional technologies in this field and are not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0039] The counting principle of the motion counter provided in this embodiment is:

[0040] The counted exercise is a periodically repeated exercise, such as rope skipping, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, etc. Taking push-ups as an example, the exercise counter provided in this embodiment is placed at the side of the athlete; in the propped-up state, the athlete's body is spaced apart from the ground, there is no obstruction in front of the exercise counter, and the transmitter continues to emit light outward; in the pressed-down state, the athlete's body is close to the ground, blocking the front of the exercise counter, and the light emitted by the transmitter is blocked by the athlete's body and reflected back in the opposite direction, and is captured by the receiver to generate an induction signal to form a count.

[0041] The support member 20 and the suspension member 30 are used to form a support or suspension effect for the counter body 10 , so that the counter body 10 can maintain a good placement state in different practical scenarios.

[0042] Specifically, the support member 20 is installed on the back side of the base 111 , and the base 111 is recessed at a position corresponding to the support member 20 to form a first receiving groove 40 , and the support member 20 is received in the first receiving groove 40 .

[0043] The support member 20 is U-shaped as a whole, including two first connecting arms 21 arranged in parallel and spaced apart and a first supporting arm 22 connecting the two first connecting arms 21. The end of the first connecting arm 21 away from the first supporting arm 22 is hinged to the base 111, so that the support member 20 as a whole can rotate around the hinge point.

[0044] The support member 20 is rotated around the hinge point away from the base 111 to form an angle between the support member 20 and the base 111, and then the first support arm 22 is directly supported on the ground or other platforms. At this time, the counter body 10 is in an inclined state, and the support effect is provided by the support member 20.

[0045] Specifically, a first pin shaft 211 protrudes from each of the first connecting arms 21. A first rotation hole 1113 is provided at the position of the base 111 corresponding to the first pin shaft 211. The first pin shaft 211 is installed in the first rotation hole 1113 and can rotate freely in the first rotation hole 1113.

[0046] Structurally, since the first connecting arm 21 is located outside the first rotation hole 1113, the first pin shaft 211 is likely to disengage from the first rotation hole 1113. To solve this problem, in this embodiment, an interference fit method is adopted, that is, the distance between the two first connecting arms 21 is set to be smaller than the interval between the two first rotation holes 1113. The elastic deformation of the two first connecting arms 21 is used to clamp the base 111 and restrict the first pin shaft 211 from disengaging from the first rotation hole 1113.

[0047] On this basis, in order to reduce the difficulty of assembling the first pin shaft 211 and the rotation hole 1110, at least one first notch 212 is provided at the end of the first connecting arm 21. Each first notch 212 divides the end of the first connecting arm 21 into two parts spaced apart from each other along the axis of the first pin shaft 211. The setting of the first notch 212 reduces the bending strength of the end of the first support arm 22. During the assembly process, the width distance of the first notch 212 can be used as the deformation distance of the first support arm 22. Furthermore, the outer expansion of the two first support arms 22 is used to increase the assembly space of the first pin shaft 211. After the first pin shaft 211 is assembled, the two first support arms 22 cooperate to clamp the base 111.

[0048] The suspension member 30 is also installed on the back surface of the base 111 and is located on the opposite side of the suspension member 30. A second receiving groove 50 is recessed at the position of the base 111 corresponding to the suspension member 30. The suspension member 30 is received in the second receiving groove 50.

[0049] Second pin shafts 31 protrude from both sides of the suspension member 30. Second rotation holes 1114 are provided at the positions of the base 111 corresponding to the second pin shafts 31. The second pin shafts 31 are installed in the second rotation holes 1114 and can rotate freely in the second rotation holes 1113.

[0050] Structurally, the suspension member 30 is located outside the second rotation hole 1114. Therefore, the groove wall of the second receiving groove 50 can limit the suspension member 30, making it difficult for the second pin shaft 31 to disengage from the second rotation hole 1114.

[0051] In order to reduce the difficulty of assembling the second pin shaft 31 and the second rotating hole 1114, at least one second notch 32 is further provided on the suspension member 30. Each second notch 32 divides the suspension member 30 into two parts spaced along the axis direction of the second pin shaft 31. The setting of the second notch 32 reduces the bending strength of the suspension member 30. During the assembly process, the width distance of the second notch 32 can be used as the deformation distance of the suspension member 30, and then the assembly space of the second pin shaft 31 is increased by the inward extrusion of the two suspension members 30.

[0052] The suspension member 30 is an annular structure with a hollow area 33. The annular structure can be well suspended on other objects, such as being suspended on the horizontal bar for pull-ups. When doing pull-ups, the counter main body 10 is suspended above the head of the exerciser through the suspension member 30. When the body of the exerciser repeatedly enters and exits the detection area of the counter main body 10, a counting effect is formed.

[0053] In order to provide a better user experience, a voice broadcast function can also be provided. For example, a voice is broadcast every time a count is made. A countdown function can also be provided. By presetting a counting threshold, a voice is broadcast every time a count is made. After the countdown is completed, a completion voice is broadcast, such as "You have completed the goal. You are great!"

[0054] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical concept and characteristics of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable those who are familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
