Description

Technical field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of gaming and entertainment technology, in particular a boxing entertainment device. State of the art

[0002] With societal developments, the pace of work and life is becoming increasingly demanding for modern people, leading to heightened psychological pressure. Currently, various products are available on the market that can help people release emotions and relieve stress. The boxing entertainment device is one such option; it serves not only as a stress reliever but also as a form of physical exercise and leisure activity. In its current state of the art, the boxing entertainment device comprises a housing with multiple striking fields on it, as well as a circuit board and a strike detector inside the housing. When in use, the user interacts with the device by striking the striking fields with their fist. The boxing entertainment device detects the striking motion via the strike detector, sends a signal to the circuit board, and then provides feedback to the user, e.g.,Whether the punch was successful or how many punches were delivered. However, the circuit board in conventional boxing entertainment devices is a single, non-separable board, which complicates the internal structure and arrangement of components. Furthermore, sufficient space must be maintained between the individual punching zones to prevent a single fist from striking multiple zones simultaneously. Therefore, the area of ​​the circuit board located between the punching zones is typically empty; that is, no electronic components are placed there. This leads to over-dimensioning and a waste of circuit board space. Content of the present application

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present application offers a box entertainment device.

[0004] The technical solution by which the present application solves its technical problem is as follows.

Each sub-circuit board is electrically connected to the main circuit board, and the sub-circuit boards are arranged in a matrix configuration.

[0006] In some embodiments, multiple impact fields are mounted on the housing. Each impact field is directly assigned to a sub-circuit board, and an impact detector is mounted on each sub-circuit board. If an impact field is struck by one of the multiple impact fields, the corresponding impact detector can be triggered.

[0007] In some embodiments, the impact fields are elastic impact fields.

[0008] In some embodiments, the impact detector comprises a pressure-actuated impact detector and / or a sensor-based impact detector.

[0009] In some embodiments, the pressure-activated impact detector comprises a first elastic button, a conductive area, a first contact pin, and a second contact pin. The conductive area is located at the base of the first elastic button. The first and second contact pins are both electrically connected to the sub-circuit board and are in a normally open state. When the impact field is struck, it exerts a force on the first elastic button, causing it to deform elastically. The conductive area at the base of the first elastic button then electrically switches the first and second contact pins to conduction.

[0010] In some embodiments, both the first contact pin and the second contact pin are printed on the sub-circuit board.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first contact pin has its first fork pins arranged in parallel, and the second contact pin has several second fork pins arranged in parallel. The first and second fork pins are offset from each other.

[0012] In some embodiments, the sensory impact detector is a pressure sensor that is electrically connected to the sub-circuit board.

[0013] In some embodiments, the boxing entertainment device further includes a second elastic button mounted on the pressure sensor. When the striking field is hit, the striking field exerts a force on the second elastic button, causing the second elastic button to deform elastically and transmit the impact force to the pressure sensor.

[0014] In some embodiments, the pressure sensor is a thin-film pressure sensor (film pressure sensor).

[0015] In some embodiments, the impact field comprises a base part, an elastic element, and an impact contact part. The base part is attached to the housing. The impact contact part is mounted above the sub-circuit board and protrudes from the housing. The elastic element is positioned between the base part and the impact contact part. When the impact contact part is struck and the elastic element is compressed, the impact contact part can exert an outward force.

[0016] In some embodiments, the striking field is formed in one piece from elastic material.

[0017] In some embodiments, the sub-circuit boards are arranged in a circular matrix arrangement (ring-shaped array).

[0018] In some embodiments, the main circuit board is located in the center, and the sub-circuit boards are arranged in a ring around the main circuit board to form a circular matrix arrangement.

[0019] In some embodiments, the main circuit board and the multiple sub-circuit boards are designed as separate units, and the multiple sub-circuit boards are also separated from each other.

[0020] In some embodiments, the number of sub-circuit boards can be five, six, etc. Similarly, the number of striking fields can be five, six, etc.

[0021] In some embodiments, the sub-circuit boards are arranged in a circular matrix arrangement.

[0022] In some embodiments, the main circuit board is located in the center, and the sub-circuit boards are arranged in a ring around the main circuit board to form a circular matrix arrangement.

[0023] The present application further provides a box entertainment device comprising several printed circuit boards arranged in a matrix arrangement.

[0024] In some embodiments, the circuit boards are arranged in a circular matrix arrangement.

[0025] The advantageous effect of the present application is as follows: Due to the aforementioned structural arrangement, the housing accommodates a main circuit board and several sub-circuit boards, which allows for a more flexible and efficient arrangement of the circuit boards within the box entertainment device. Furthermore, electronic components on the main circuit board and the sub-circuit boards can be sensibly placed according to the actual requirements, thereby avoiding oversizing and wasting circuit board area.

[0028] With reference to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17, Fig. 18, Fig. 19, Fig. 20, Fig. 21, Fig. 22, Fig. 23 to Fig. Figure 24 comprises a box entertainment device comprising a housing 1. Inside the housing 1 are arranged a main circuit board 2 and several sub-circuit boards 3. Each sub-circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the main circuit board 2, and the sub-circuit boards 3 are arranged in a matrix arrangement.

[0029] The shape of the casing can vary. Regarding the Fig. From 1 to 9 and 19 to 23, the case exhibits an initial form. Regarding the Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17 to Fig. 18 The case has a second form.

[0030] The above structural design, in which a main circuit board and several sub-circuit boards are arranged within the housing, allows for a more flexible and efficient layout of the circuit boards in the box entertainment device. Furthermore, electronic components can be sensibly positioned on the main circuit board and the sub-circuit boards according to actual requirements, thus avoiding oversizing and wasting circuit board space.

[0031] Specifically, several impact fields 4 are arranged on the housing 1. Each impact field 4 is directly assigned to a sub-circuit board 3, and an impact detector 5 is mounted on each sub-circuit board 3. When an impact field 4 is struck, the corresponding impact detector 5 can be triggered. This design allows the user to strike any impact field on the housing with their fist during use, thereby triggering the corresponding impact detector. That is, the impact detector detects the striking motion and sends a signal back to the main circuit board via the corresponding sub-circuit board. Furthermore, the main circuit board can be equipped with components such as a display 21, LEDs, etc., to provide feedback to the user, for example, whether the strike was successful or the number of strikes.Naturally, the data can be sent to end devices such as a smartphone app via transmission methods like Bluetooth or WLAN so that the user can view it.

[0032] Since the impact fields are directly assigned to the sub-circuit boards, and each sub-circuit board is equipped with an impact detector, the sub-circuit board only needs to provide space for the impact detector and does not need to cover the gap between the individual impact fields. This allows for a more flexible and efficient layout of the circuit boards in the box entertainment device and effectively avoids oversizing and wasting circuit board space.

[0033] Furthermore, the number of sub-circuit boards (3) can be, for example, five, six, etc. Similarly, the number of impact fields (4) can also be five, six, etc. Of course, the number of sub-circuit boards and impact fields can take on other values, as long as the numbers match and the user's requirements are met.

[0034] The impact fields consist of four elastic impact elements. This provides better protection for the user's fist during impact. The impact detector is also protected when triggered by the impact field.

[0035] With reference to the Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7, Fig. 8, Fig. 9, Fig. 10, Fig. 11, Fig. 12, Fig. 13, Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16, Fig. 17 to Fig. 18, in particular to the Fig. 6 to 9 and 15 to 18, the impact detector 5 in a first structure can be a pressure-actuated impact detector.

[0036] Specifically, the pressure-activated impact detector comprises a first elastic button 51, a conductive area 52, a first contact pin 53, and a second contact pin 54. The conductive area 52 is located at the base of the first elastic button 51. Both the first contact pin 53 and the second contact pin 54 are electrically connected to the sub-circuit board 3 and are normally in the open state. When the impact field 4 is struck, it exerts a force on the first elastic button 51, causing it to deform elastically. The conductive area 52 at the base of the first elastic button 51 then electrically connects the first contact pin 53 and the second contact pin 54. When the first elastic button returns to its initial position, the conductive area 52 disconnects from the contact pins 53 and 54, allowing them to return to the open state.In this structure, the pressure-activated impact detector resembles a push-button switch, which, by pressing the first elastic button, closes the circuit and sends a signal via the sub-circuit board to the main circuit board to confirm a successful impact and thus trigger the impact detector.

[0037] The first elastic button can be made of silicone. Various methods can be used to attach it to the sub-circuit board, such as snap-in mounting or gluing with insulating adhesive; these are not limited here. The conductive area 52 can be a graphite foil.

[0038] Furthermore, both the first contact pin 53 and the second contact pin 54 can be printed on the sub-circuit board 3.

[0039] Furthermore, the first contact pin 53 can be arranged in parallel with several first fork pins 531, and the second contact pin 54 can be arranged in parallel with several second fork pins 541. The first fork pins 531 and the second fork pins 541 are arranged offset from each other to ensure that the first and second contact pins are normally open. When the conductive area 52 touches any group of a first and a second fork pin, the circuit between the first and second contact pins is closed.

[0040] The specific structure of the elastic impact field can be as follows: The impact field 4 comprises a base part 41, an elastic element 42, and an impact contact part 43. The base part 41 is attached to the housing 1. The impact contact part 43 is located above the sub-circuit board 3 and protrudes from the housing 1. The elastic element 42 is located between the base part 41 and the impact contact part 43. When the impact contact part 43 is struck and the elastic element 42 is compressed, the impact contact part 43 can exert a force on the first elastic button 51 to trigger the impact detector. When the user's fist leaves the impact field, the impact contact part also returns to its initial position due to the elastic restoring force of the elastic element.

[0041] The elastic element can be a spring. The housing can comprise an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12. The base part 41 is attached to the upper housing 11, the striking contact part 43 protrudes from the upper housing 11, and the main circuit board 2 and all sub-circuit boards 3 are attached to the lower housing 12. A speaker 7 is also attached to the lower housing 12, which can play music to facilitate rhythmic boxing training and enhance the entertainment value. A battery compartment 8 is located on the lower housing 12, in which a battery can be placed to power the circuit boards.

[0042] An alternative specific structure of the elastic striking field could be: The striking field 4 is formed in one piece from elastic material. For example, it could be a one-piece molded soft pad.

[0043] With reference to the Fig. 1 to 5 and 19 to 21, especially regarding the Fig. 19, Fig. 20 to Fig. 21, the impact detector 5 can be a sensory impact detector in a second structure.

[0044] Specifically, the sensory impact detector is a pressure sensor that is electrically connected to the sub-circuit board 3.

[0045] Furthermore, the boxing entertainment device includes a second elastic button 55, which is located on the pressure sensor. When the striking field 4 is hit, it exerts a force on the second elastic button 55, causing it to deform elastically and transmit the impact force to the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor sends a signal via the sub-circuit board 3 to the main circuit board 2 to confirm a successful hit and thus trigger the impact detector. Naturally, the pressure sensor can also record force data to provide feedback to the user.

[0046] The second elastic button 55 can be made of silicone. The method of attachment to the sub-circuit board 3 can vary, for example by snapping it into place or by gluing it with insulating adhesive, which is not restricted here. The pressure sensor can be a thin-film pressure sensor (film pressure sensor).

[0047] The specific structure of the elastic impact field can be as follows: The impact field 4 comprises a base part 41, an elastic element 42, and an impact contact part 43. The base part 41 is attached to the housing 1. The impact contact part 43 is located above the sub-circuit board 3 and protrudes from the housing 1. The elastic element 42 is located between the base part 41 and the impact contact part 43. When the impact contact part 43 is struck and the elastic element 42 is compressed, the impact contact part 43 can exert a force on the second elastic button 55 to trigger the impact detector. When the user's fist leaves the impact field, the impact contact part also returns to its initial position due to the elastic restoring force of the elastic element 42.

[0048] The elastic element 42 can be a spring. The housing 1 can comprise an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12. The base part 41 is attached to the upper housing 11, the striking contact part 43 protrudes from the upper housing 11, and the main circuit board 2 and all sub-circuit boards 3 are attached to the lower housing 12. A speaker 7 is also attached to the lower housing 12, which can play music to facilitate rhythmic boxing training and enhance entertainment value. A battery compartment 8 is located on the lower housing 12, in which a battery can be placed to power the circuit boards.

[0049] An alternative specific structure of the elastic striking field could be: The striking field 4 is formed in one piece from elastic material. For example, it could be a one-piece molded soft pad.

[0050] With reference to the Fig. 1 to 5 and 22 to 23, especially regarding the Fig. 22 to Fig. 23, the impact detector 5 in a third structure can comprise both a pressure-activated impact detector and a sensor-activated impact detector. The specific structures of both types of impact detectors are as described above and are not explained in detail here. In order to trigger both types of impact detectors simultaneously, the first and second elastic buttons 51, 55 should be the same component.

[0051] In the present application, the sub-circuit boards 3 can be arranged in a ring shape within a matrix arrangement (circular array). Accordingly, the striking fields are also arranged in a ring shape, which facilitates the striking of the striking fields by the user.

[0052] Furthermore, the main circuit board 2 is centrally located, and the sub-circuit boards 3 are arranged in a ring around the main circuit board 2 to form a circular matrix arrangement. This utilizes the space of the box entertainment device more effectively and makes the structural arrangement of the device more rational.

[0053] Furthermore, the main circuit board 2 and the multiple sub-circuit boards 3 are designed as separate units, and the multiple sub-circuit boards 3 are also separate from each other. The main circuit board and the sub-circuit boards are each arranged independently of one another and have no direct mounting relationship to each other.

[0054] With reference to Fig.24. This patent application also provides a box entertainment device comprising several printed circuit boards 6 arranged in a matrix configuration. Specifically, the printed circuit boards 6 are arranged in a ring-shaped matrix configuration (circular array), which makes the structural arrangement of the box entertainment device more efficient. Accordingly, the box entertainment device also comprises several striking fields 4, each striking field being assigned one-to-one to a printed circuit board.

[0055] Furthermore, each circuit board has a shock detector 5 mounted on it. The specific structure of the shock detector can be as described above and is not explained in detail here. Each circuit board can also integrate a circuit module that, when the shock detector is triggered, detects its feedback signal and thus confirms a successful strike by the user.

[0056] The foregoing description provides one or more embodiments in conjunction with specific content and does not establish that the concrete implementation of the present application is limited to these descriptions. All solutions similar or comparable to the methods, structures, etc., of the present application, or all technical derivations or substitutions undertaken under the concept of the present application, should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
