Joule und/oder KalorienverbrauchsmesspedalJoule and/or calorie consumption measuring pedal

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Pedal, dessen Bauart geeignet ist, die an dem Pedal angreifende Leistung zu messen, wobei die an dem Pedal auftretenden mechanischen Größen (Tretkraft, Tretkraftdauer und Tretfrequenz) in elektrische Signale umgewandelt werden und einem Kleincomputer zur Auswertung und Speicherung zugeführt werden.(Abb.l, Fig.2) Die erhaltenen Werte sind ein Maß für die erbrachte Leistung. Der Kleincomputer rechnet aus den eingelesenen Signalen, den Energieverbrauch eines Menschen während einer Freizeitaktivität oder eines Trainings aus und zeigt den Wert, Energieverbrauch in Joule, oder Energieverbrauch in Kalorien, oder beide Werte, Energieverbrauch in Joule und Kalorien, bei Bedarf auf einem Display an. (Abb.l, Fig.3)The invention relates to a pedal whose design is suitable for measuring the power applied to the pedal, whereby the mechanical quantities occurring on the pedal (pedal force, pedal force duration and pedal frequency) are converted into electrical signals and fed to a small computer for evaluation and storage. (Fig. 1, Fig. 2) The values obtained are a measure of the performance achieved. The small computer calculates the energy consumption of a person during a leisure activity or training from the signals read in and shows the value, energy consumption in joules, or energy consumption in calories, or both values, energy consumption in joules and calories, on a display if required. (Fig. 1, Fig. 3)

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß die an dem Pedal angreifende Kraft auf einen Drucksensor wirkt, der z.B. ein elektrisches, proportionales Analogsignal erzeugt. Das Analogsignal wird über einen A/D Umsetzer in Binärsignale umgewandelt und einem Prozessor zugeführt, der die Berechnung der eigentlichen Arbeit durchführt, mit dem Faktor 2 multipliziert (das Gegenpedal braucht keine Elektronik) und die Umrechnung (in den Energieverbrauch eines Menschen) in Joule und/oder Kalorien auf einem Display bei Bedarf anzeigt. (Abb. 2) Das Prinzip mikromechanischer Drucksensoren ist weitgehend bekannt und wird zum Beispiel in dem Buch „Mikromechanik" von S. Büttgenbach, Verlag B.G. Teubner, beschrieben. Als Stromquelle kann eine Batterie oder ein Akku dienen.
Die Meßeinrichtung soll bei allen Antrieben, die durch Pedale erfolgt, einsetzbar sein. Auch ist es für die Leistungserfassung und die damit verbundene Umrechnung in einen Energieverbrauch eines Menschen unwichtig, ob z. B. eine Kettenschaltung, eine Nabenschaltung oder keine Schaltung zugeschaltet ist Durch ein Normgewinde ist, zum Beispiel für Fahrräder, eine nachträgliche Montage problemlos. (Abb.l, Fig.l) Auch wäre ein Normgewinde mit Einrastmechanismus, zur schnellen Demontage denkbar. Durch diese Art der Leistungsmessung ist eine nichtstationäre, wie auch eine stationäre Erfassung des Energieverbrauches eines Menschen möglich.This task is solved by the force acting on the pedal acting on a pressure sensor, which generates an electrical, proportional analog signal. The analog signal is converted into binary signals via an A/D converter and fed to a processor, which calculates the actual work, multiplies it by a factor of 2 (the counter pedal does not need electronics) and shows the conversion (into the energy consumption of a person) in joules and/or calories on a display if required. (Fig. 2) The principle of micromechanical pressure sensors is widely known and is described, for example, in the book "Micromechanics" by S. Büttgenbach, published by BG Teubner. A battery or accumulator can serve as the power source.
The measuring device should be usable with all pedal-driven systems. It is also unimportant for the performance measurement and the associated conversion into a person's energy consumption whether, for example, a derailleur gear, a hub gear or no gear is connected. A standard thread makes subsequent installation easy, for example for bicycles. (Fig.l, Fig.l) A standard thread with a locking mechanism for quick removal would also be conceivable. This type of performance measurement makes it possible to record a person's energy consumption both stationary and non-stationary.
