Pedometer for bicycle

Abstract

To provide an inexpensive pedometer for a bicycle, with a small number of parts and a simple structure.SOLUTION: A receiving plate and a cut-off ball are incorporated into each of eight equally divided reflecting instruments (such as cylinders) 4 arranged on a gear (plate) 2, and these function as a switch for the sensor 3, thereby constituting a bicycle pedometer provided with the reflecting instruments. The sensor 3 and the count display device are integrated as shown in Fig. 1 so that the bicycle pedometer can be securely mounted.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bicycle pedometer. [Background technology]

[0002] Traditionally, there have been many convenient bicycles with a wide variety of functions, but they are too expensive and only a limited number of enthusiasts are interested in them.

[0003] Prior art includes Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, where Patent Document 1 is an energy consumption meter and Patent Document 2 is a portable measuring device. The bicycle pedometer proposed in this application is an inexpensive bicycle pedometer suitable for general-purpose mamachari bicycles. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 10-185715 [Patent Document 2] Special Publication 2006-521548 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The bicycles mentioned above have a wide variety of functions, and some are even expensive, so they have been well received by users. However, they are not for general bicycle use.

[0006] The present invention is directed to a mamachari bicycle, which is popular with many users and has excellent usability. An object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive and suitable bicycle pedometer. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The bicycle pedometer of the present invention has a pedal and gear connected by a shaft, and has a sensor, a reflector, a sensor receiving plate, a sensor blocking ball, and a count display device, and is characterized by having a primary process in which the pedal used to measure pedometer moves approximately eight steps with one rotation of the pedal, a secondary process in which the sensor is activated as the pedal rotates, a tertiary process in which the sensor is received by the receiving plate in the reflector through the sensor, a quaternary process in which the sensor is blocked by the action of the blocking ball, and the blocked sensor is then cycled around to the next sensor and displayed on the count display device. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] The more the pedometer counts, the stronger your legs and hips will be, and it will also have an effect on your health and beauty. To provide a bicycle pedometer which is inexpensive and has simple parts and a simple structure.

[0009] The energy consumption rate is not much different whether you are walking or pedaling a bicycle, but the energy consumption rate of a bicycle rider is higher than that of a pedestrian due to resistance from wind and uphill slopes, so there is little difference in energy consumption rate between pedestrians and bicycle riders. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] 1 is a basic block diagram 1 of a pedometer measurement device according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a side view of the arrangement of reflective devices inside the gear (plate). [Figure 3] This is a side view of a single iron ball (switch) in a tube (tubular pipe). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] In the first step of the present invention, the pedal 1 and the gear (plate) 2 are connected by a shaft, and the pedal One rotation takes approximately 8 steps (4550 cm). In the secondary process, the sensor is activated as soon as pedal 1 rotates, and the process proceeds to detector 3. The tertiary process proceeds from the sensor 3 to the reflector 4. In the fourth process, the sensor is reflected back from the reflector 4 and returns to the detector 3. The fifth step is a circular step from the detector 3 to the count display device 5 by the sensor.

[0012] However, when the pedal 1 is rotated in the reverse direction, the reflective device 4 and the count display device 5 after the detector 3 do not operate, so no count is displayed. [Industrial Applicability]

[0013] The present invention will revitalize the industry related to bicycle pedometers for mamachari bicycles, which are popular among many users as they are convenient and inexpensive means of transportation. [Explanation of symbols]

Claims

[Claim 1] The bicycle pedometer of the present invention has a pedal and gear connected by a shaft, and has a sensor, a reflector, a sensor receiving plate, a sensor blocking ball, and a count display device, and is characterized by having a primary process in which the pedal for measuring the number of steps rotates once, resulting in approximately eight steps; a secondary process in which the sensor is activated as the pedal rotates; a tertiary process in which the sensor is received by the receiving plate in the reflector through the sensor; a quaternary process in which the sensor is blocked by the action of the blocking ball; and the blocked sensor then makes one circuit with the next sensor to the count display device.
