Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fitness equipment, in particular to a countable Pilates ring. Background Art
[0002] The Pilates circle, also known as the Pilates resistance circle or Pilates magic circle, is a common aid in Pilates training. Invented by Joseph Pilates, it is used to strengthen core stability, enhance muscle strength and endurance, improve flexibility, enhance body awareness and posture, and add variety and challenge to exercise. The Pilates circle can be used in a variety of ways. By leveraging control, pressure, and coordination during exercises, it can be used in various Pilates classes, effectively sculpting and slimming the abdomen, buttocks, chest, and legs.
[0003] Existing Pilates rings consist of an elastic ring and supports mounted on it. During exercise, users use their hands or legs to contact the supports, squeezing or stretching the ring to achieve their training goals. Existing Pilates rings lack a counting function, making it difficult for users to accurately determine their exercise volume and gain an intuitive understanding of their training level, making it difficult for users to design and execute exercise plans or adjust them based on their exercise volume. Utility Model Content
[0004] Aiming at the above problems, the utility model provides a countable Pilates ring.
[0005] The technical solutions adopted by this utility model are as follows:
[0006] The present application provides a countable Pilates ring, comprising a counting circuit board, a detection switch, a ring body, and a connecting assembly connected to the ring body;
[0007] The connecting assembly includes a connecting body connected to the ring body and a pressing plate movably arranged on the connecting body;
[0008] The counting circuit board and the detection switch are respectively arranged in the connecting assembly, the detection switch is arranged corresponding to the pressing plate, and the detection switch is electrically connected or electrically signal-connected to the counting circuit board;
[0009] When the pressing plate is pressed, it cooperates with the detection switch to obtain detection data and communicates with the counting circuit board. The counting circuit board calculates the number of times the pressing plate is pressed based on the detection data transmitted by the detection switch. The detection data obtained here refers to the number of times the detection switch is closed, with each closure of the detection switch being counted.
[0010] By aligning the pressure plate with the detection switch, when the hands or legs press the pressure plate inward or stretch the Pilates ring provided by this application, the detection switch cooperates with the pressure plate and the counting circuit board to achieve counting. In other words, the Pilates ring provided by this application has a counting function, which helps users determine their exercise volume, design and implement exercise plans, or adjust plans based on exercise volume.
[0011] Furthermore, the detection switch is a touch switch, a pressure sensor, or a distance sensor.
[0012] When the detection switch is a tact switch, the tact switch comprises a button, a substrate, and four pins. The four pins are electrically connected to the button and two side ends of the substrate, respectively. The tact switch is soldered to a counting circuit board via the four pins. Pressing the button of the tact switch and contacting the substrate closes the circuit, outputting a high level to the counting circuit board. Releasing the tact switch separates the button from the substrate, disconnecting the circuit, and outputting a low level to the counting circuit board. The counting circuit board counts the number of circuit closures, with each circuit closure being counted.
[0013] The detection switch is preferably a touch switch, which has a simple structure and is easy to install. While being able to reliably realize the counting function of the Pilates ring, it is also convenient to reduce production costs.
[0014] When the detection switch is a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor is electrically connected to a counting circuit board, which is a PCB control board. Each contact between the detection switch and the pressing plate is counted. The pressure sensor can capture different training movements by setting different pressure values to display different training movement times.
[0015] When the detection switch is a distance sensor, the distance sensor is electrically connected to a counting circuit board, which is a PCB control board. A count is achieved when the detection switch is at a set distance from the pressing plate. The distance sensor can capture different training movements by setting different distance values to display different training movement times.

[0017] Furthermore, the display screen is arranged on the outer side wall of the connecting assembly away from the center of the Pilates ring. The "center of the Pilates ring" referred to in this application refers to the center position of the assembled Pilates ring in an "O"-shaped ring structure.
[0018] This arrangement prevents the display screen from interfering with the pressure plate, making it easier to observe during training.
[0019] Furthermore, the surface of the pressing plate is concave, and the display screen is embedded in the concave part. When the hands or legs touch the pressing plate, the two sides will support the hands or legs, so the display screen will not be damaged, that is, the normal counting function will not be affected.

[0021] Or,
[0022] The connector is a box structure, a detection portion is formed inside the connector, a pressing column is provided on the pressing plate, and the pressing plate is movably provided on the side wall of the connector and is located outside the connector. When the pressing plate is pressed, the pressing plate moves toward the side close to the detection portion, and the pressing column extends into the connector and cooperates with the detection switch to obtain detection data.
[0023] Furthermore, when the detection switch is a touch switch, the detection switch is preferably provided on the counting circuit board;
[0024] When the detection switch is a pressure sensor, the detection switch is preferably provided on the connector;
[0025] When the detection switch is a distance sensor, the detection switch is preferably provided on the pressing post of the pressing plate.
[0026] Furthermore, the connector has a movable channel, and the pressing plate is fixed with an anti-tripping buckle, which cooperates with the side wall of the movable channel or the side wall of the connector to prevent the pressing plate from slipping off the connector;
[0027] When the pressing plate is pressed, the anti-tripping buckle is displaced relative to the movable channel.
[0028] Furthermore, the connecting assembly further comprises an elastic element, both ends of which are respectively used to cooperate with the pressing plate and the connecting body. When the pressing plate is pressed, the elastic element is used to reset the pressing plate.
[0029] Furthermore, the connecting assembly further comprises a guide post, which is arranged on the pressing plate or the connecting body, and the elastic element is a spring, which is sleeved on the guide post.
[0030] Furthermore, the connector is provided with a pressing plate on one side close to the center of the Pilates circle and a detection switch cooperating with the pressing plate on the other side.

[0089] Example 2
[0090] like Figures 11 to 15 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 mainly lies in the specific structure of the connecting body 201. In this embodiment, the connecting body 201 is a box structure with a hollow interior and a detection part 2011 formed thereon. A pressing column 2023 is provided on the pressing plate 202. The pressing plate 202 is movably provided on the side wall of the connecting body 201 and is located outside the connecting body 201. When the pressing plate 202 is pressed, the pressing plate 202 moves toward the side close to the detection part 2011, and the pressing column 2023 extends into the interior of the connecting body 201 and cooperates with the detection switch 204 to obtain detection data.
[0091] In this embodiment, a mounting notch 2015 is provided on the peripheral sidewall of the connector 201 for mounting the display screen 205. The mounting notch 2015 and the latching slot 2014 are located on the same sidewall. Furthermore, the peripheral sidewall of the connector 201 and the pressing plate 202 are adjacent to each other.
[0092] This arrangement prevents the display screen 205 from interfering with the pressing plate 202, making it easier to observe during training.
[0093] In this embodiment, the wall of the connector 201, which forms the first mounting groove 2013, forms the detection portion 2011. The counter circuit board 203 is mounted on the detection portion 2011. The button of the touch switch faces the pressing post 2023. The pressing post 2023 moves toward the touch switch and abuts against the button, causing the button to contact the circuit board and close the circuit.
[0094] In this embodiment, the pressing column 2023 is a cylinder, and the movable channel 2012 for the pressing column 2023 to pass through is a cylindrical hole, and the aperture of the cylindrical hole is larger than the outer diameter of the pressing column 2023; the anti-trip buckle 2022 is a prismatic anti-trip buckle 2022, and the movable channel 2012 for the anti-trip buckle 2022 to pass through is a prismatic hole.
[0095] In this embodiment, the connector 201 is formed by buckling two connecting halves.
[0096] Example 3
[0097] like Figure 16As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 lies in the difference in the detection switch 204. In this embodiment, the detection switch 204 is a pressure sensor or a distance sensor.
[0098] When the detection switch 204 is a pressure sensor, the counting circuit board 203 is a PCB control board. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the counting circuit board 203. Each time the detection switch 204 contacts the pressing plate 202 and reaches a set pressure value, a count is recorded. The pressure sensor can capture different training movements by setting different pressure values, thereby displaying different training movement times. The pressure sensor is disposed on the pressing column 2023 or the detection unit 2011.
[0099] When the detection switch 204 is a distance sensor, the counting circuit board 203 serves as the control board. The distance sensor is electrically connected to the counting circuit board 203, and a count is achieved when a set distance exists between the detection switch 204 and the pressing plate 202 or between the detection switch 204 and the detection unit 2011. The distance sensor can capture different training movements by setting different distance values to display different training movement times. When the distance sensor is installed on the pressing post 2023, the distance sensor detects the distance between the detection switch 204 and the detection unit 2011. When the distance sensor is installed on the detection unit 211, the distance sensor detects the distance between the detection switch 204 and the pressing post 2023 of the pressing plate 202.
[0100] In this embodiment, the counting circuit board 203 is disposed on the connecting body 201 .
[0101] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of patent protection of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is also included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
