Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for controlling the accuracy with which a golf club hits a golf ball with the club face of its club head.
- the company Alan Electronics GmbH, 63303 Dreieich with the Internet address www.dixxgolf.de under the name "DiXX Digital Instruction Putter” a golf club sold, which offers the possibility, at the back of the club head either a housing, the acceleration tion sensors, a measuring and evaluation electronics and a flat screen, or a weight that is as heavy as this unit to attach interchangeably.
- the accelerometers are capable of detecting several parameters of the golf club's motion during a swing, including the location of the impact point on one or the other soap from the sweet spot. A precise determination of that point of the club face with which the ball was hit, however, is not possible with such a measuring method.
- the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device of the type mentioned above, which can be attached to a conventional golf club, without changing its properties significantly, no disturbing side activity during playing only requires for measuring purposes, the impact of the golf ball more than registered so far and the recorded and according to the program evaluated measurement results in a form that they are always at hand.
- a plate-shaped sensor which can be detachably fastened to the face in a specific position and by means of which the position of the point of impact can be locally localized in the event of impact against a golf ball
- a radio module connected to the measuring and arithmetic circuit for the wireless transmission of the measurement results to an evaluation device in the manner of a mobile phone, smart phone or PDA 's for program-controlled evaluation and display of the measurement results on its screen.
- the plate-shaped sensor is so light and thin that it is virtually imperceptible when a strike is made. As a result of the attachment to the golf club's face, not on its back, every point of impact is registered very precisely.
- the preferably attachable to the shaft of the golf club measuring and calculation circuit increases its weight only minimally, because they need only perform the necessary functions for controlling the measurement process and for determining the coordinates of the point of impact and spark the measurement results, for example, to a cell phone or smartphone. There they can be stored and evaluated by means of suitable programs.
- a cell phone, smartphone or the like with a radio module is usually available anyway and is regularly taken to the golf course. Suitable programs for the evaluation of the measurement results can be made available on the Internet for downloading to the mobile phone or smartphone.
- the plate-shaped sensor is preferably constructed in the manner of a computer touchpad with a rectangular support plate having a first electrically conductive layer applied on its front side, which is connected along two opposite edge regions respectively to a printed conductor connected to a signal line, and one in front of Support plate arranged, flexible protective plate having a deposited on its back, the second electrically conductive layer, which is connected along two opposite edge regions in each case connected to a signal line, a printed conductor extending transversely to the interconnected with the first conductive layer interconnects, wherein the conductive layers are separated by elastic spacers, the restoring force of which is chosen so that it is only temporarily in contact with a golf ball at the impact point for contact between the conductive layer n comes.
- Such a touchpad is described, for example, in US Pat. No. 6,239,790 B1, which is hereby incorporated by reference for the purpose of describing the operation of the above-identified sensor for the sake of simplicity.
- a computer touchpad for example, on a laptop, properly mounted insoluble in the case of the computer and only relatively light and slow touched with the finger.
- the sensor of the measuring device according to the invention is mechanically much more heavily loaded by the blows against a hard golf ball.
- different requirements apply to the sensor because, in contrast to a computer touchpad, it should be easily detachable from the supporting surface.
- the reduction of the thickness of the carrier plate provides the advantage that it and with it the plate-shaped sensor becomes more flexible, so that it can be detached more easily when it is fastened to the striking surface of the golf club with a double-sided adhesive film.
- the support plate of the touchpad on its back or bottom is provided with tracks and carries electronic components.
- the sensor electronics are located in the housing, preferably mounted on the shaft of the golf club, of the measuring and calculating circuit.
- the thinner support plate and the displacement of the sensor electronics to the club shaft has the further advantageous consequence that the entire plate-shaped sensor need only have a thickness of about 1 to 2 mm and thus the clubface of the golf club is only minimally advanced.
- the sensor of the new device is more exposed to changing temperature and humidity than a computer touchpad. Therefore, it is expedient that the protective plate in the edge region materially connected firmly and tightly connected to the carrier plate except for a ventilation opening, z. B. is glued.
- the ventilation opening can be covered with a waterproof, but gas-permeable film or by an overlap, such. As in a labyrinth seal, be sealed so that the sensor is at least dust and splash-proof to IP54.
- the sensory-active area of the sensor only needs to be about 45 to 55 mm wide and about 16 to 20 mm for putter, and 20-30 mm for rackets for pitching and chipping.
- the sweet spot is preferably in the middle.
- the signal lines between the sensor and the measuring and computing circuit have a separable connector.
- This allows the two units to be individually attached to the golf rack and replaced.
- one connector half is fixedly attached to the housing of the measuring or arithmetic circuit or fixed to the carrier plate, while the other half connector is located at the free end of a cable.
- this housing On the shaft of the golf club a variety of design variants are available. It may already be sufficient to fix the housing frictionally by means of at least one clamp or a tension band on the shaft, wherein a rubber-like contact surface or intermediate layer is advantageous.

- the directions of the coordinates x, y and z used below are also entered. Their common starting point is in Sweet Spot 22 of the clubface 16.
- the sensor 18 is connected via a plug connection 24 and to a cable 26 combined signal lines with a mounted in a protective housing 28, generally designated 30 sensor electronics with a measuring and arithmetic circuit, which is mounted by means of an easily detachable fastening mechanism 32 on the shaft 12 and a radio module 34, preferably Bluetooth, with a mobile evaluation device 36 in the manner of a mobile phone, smartphone or PDA is in communication, whose corresponding radio module with 38, flat screen with 40 and keyboard with 42 are designated.
- a mobile evaluation device 36 in the manner of a mobile phone, smartphone or PDA is in communication, whose corresponding radio module with 38, flat screen with 40 and keyboard with 42 are designated.
- an evaluation device 36 a laptop in question.
- the y- determined by the measuring and calculating circuit 30, referred to the sweet point 22 y- and z-coordinates of the accurately registered by the sensor 18 impact point of a golf ball together with the coordinates of the impact points of other ball strokes programmatically evaluated and graphed.
- the sensor 18 has the structure shown in FIG. It consists of a by means of a double-sided adhesive sheet 46 fastened to the striking surface 16 support plate 48 and a outside of this arranged protective plate 50.
- the support plate 48 may for example consist of glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin (preferably FR4 or FR5).
- the protective plate 50 may be made of plastic (preferably polyester).
- both sides adhesive film 46 come under the brand names Tesa, Herma or Scotch commercially available films in question, preferably the adhesive force on the side connected to the support plate 48 side of the adhesive film is slightly larger than on the side to be joined with the impact surface 16.
- the carrier plate 48 and the protective plate 50 are each provided with an electrically conductive layer 52 and 54, respectively.
- These may be semiconductor layers according to US Pat. No. 6,239,790 Bl, which have a certain linear electrical resistance.
- spacers 56 are arranged in sufficient size and distribution, which ensure that the conductive layers 52, 54 only come into contact with each other, when the flexible protective plate 50 regional or punctual, such as For example, in a blow to a golf ball, a sufficient pressure is applied.
- the protective plate 50 is firmly bonded in the edge region with the support plate 48, but at least one not shown ventilation and venting remains free, the manner of a Labyrinthdichtung is designed so that the sensor 18 dust and splash-proof to IP54.
- the support plate 48 is provided on its inside with two other printed conductors extending longitudinally opposite edge regions at right angles to the first-mentioned interconnects and contact in the assembled state over its length, the electrically conductive layer 54 on the protective plate 50.
- the tracks electrically connected to the conductive layer 54 could also be printed on the guard plate 50.
- Each of the 4 tracks is connected to the measurement and calculation circuit 30 via a signal line continuing in the cable 26.
- the flexible protective plate 50 is pressed in a position so far that the conductive layer 54 contacts the other conductive layer 52 on the support plate 48, after applying a certain reference voltage to the conductor tracks connected to one of the two layers between the In each case, a voltage is measured which is proportional to a change in the distances of the impingement point from the interconnects connected to the reference voltage, so that the y and z coordinates can also be determined after a calibration.
- the distances of a contact pressure point from the perpendicularly oriented conductor paths are calculated on the basis of the time required for the current to reach certain printed circuit traces. to charge connected capacitors.
- a longer path of the current through one of the conductive layers is tantamount to a greater resistance, ie a lower current intensity and thus a longer period of time for charging the capacitor in question.
- the resistance between a trace of the layer 52 and a trace of the layer 54 is infinite because of the spacers 56. If there is a sufficiently strong pressure on the protective plate 50 at certain points, the two layers 52, 54 form the resistance network shown in FIG.
- a defined reference voltage V Ref is applied alternately between Y1 and Yr during the pressure and at the same time the voltage drop is measured with high resistance at one end of the other layer. The measured voltages between Zu and Yr
- Vz Vref x (Rzb + Rzu) / (Rzo + Rza + Rzb + Rzu) or between Yl and Zo
- Vy Vref x (Rya + RyI) / (Ryl + Rya + Ryb + Ryr) are, as can be seen, proportional to the position of the impact point in the Z and Y directions on the sensor surface.
- the measurements are carried out continuously with a suitable sampling frequency of IkHz to 4 kHz, preferably 2 kHz, in order to be able to reliably determine the position of a point of impact during the pressure duration in both coordinate directions.
- a suitable sampling frequency IkHz to 4 kHz, preferably 2 kHz, in order to be able to reliably determine the position of a point of impact during the pressure duration in both coordinate directions.
- the time of impact of the golf ball and the pressure duration can be determined by the fact that valid measured values can be distinguished from 0 volt by the constant terminal resistances RyI, Ryr, Rzo and Rzu.
- the voltages that can be measured when the pressure is triggered lie between for the z axis
