Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for measuring a displacement (position initial and race) intended to be used in particular in a sports exercise machine or reeducation of the type in which the key makes it possible to select a part of the stack of weight and fitted with a transmitter system and moves parallel to a receiver system, which converts the signal emitted by the key into an electrical signal processed by a system electronics connected to the receiver.
  • the transmitter is positioned on the mobile part, called a slide, ensuring the translation load of the selected load.
  • the present invention is characterized in that the transmitter is placed in the key.
  • This key allows the user to join part of the weight stack of the selector that the user moves vertically by a transmission system from the point application of his effort.
  • the present invention is also characterized in that the receiving system is composed of a succession of identical detectors, regularly spaced.
  • the key transmitter moving along this receiver system we can know the position of the key, at time t, during the movement of the user, identifying the detectors which receive the signal.
  • the advantage of the invention in view of the state of the art lies in the knowledge values representative of the user's effort (work provided, power developed) calculated from the measured values (load, displacement).
  • FIG. 1 represents a schematic view of the main mechanical elements, taken at the rest state, that is to say when the user applies no force to the point of application (4).
  • the assembly capable of being moved vertically along the axis (5), mobile assembly, is at its lowest point, function performed by the chassis (21).
  • This mobile assembly is made up of the weight stack (2), itself made up of a known number of identical counterweights (1), key (10), selector (23) and rod selector (7), not shown here because it passes right through each of the counterweights (1) of the stack (2) along the axis (5).
  • This assembly is guided in vertical translation by a device for guide (22), for example made up of 2 cylindrical tubes on which the selector slides (23).
  • Figure 2 shows the same elements as Figure 1 but in a position different from the low point position.
  • the nonlimiting example shown here shows that from a traction force carried out by the user at point (4) on the transmission element (8), the mobile assembly has moved vertically along the axis (5).
  • the pull of the user is represented by way of example along a horizontal axis at point (4), but that his direction depends on the movement performed by the user. This movement is determined by the type of exercise equipment that can be connected to the device, shown in the
  • the example shows that four counterweights (1) are made integral with the selector (23) by the rod (7) of this same selector, which rod is traversed right through, through a hole (9) by a key (10) on which the four are supported counterweight (1). These four counterweights were selected in the rest state using the key (10) among the counterweights (1) of the stack (2).
  • the selected counterweights constitute the part of the weight stack (3).
  • This device is not limited in number of counterweights (1) constituting the stack (2), and is not limited either in the number of counterweights (1) constituting the part of the battery (3).
  • this device is not limited to the type of guide device. (22), neither to the shape of the key (10), nor to the method of attachment between the key (10) and the rod (7), or even the shape of the counterweights (1).
  • FIG. 2 shows that the key (10) is moved vertically along the axis (5), and that one of these ends is near the support (15).
  • the subsequent description of the system transmitter / receiver will show how the position of the key can be known at any time. It can be known from its initial position (18), and at any point of its displacement along the axis (5).
  • Figure 3 shows a top view of the transmitter / receiver system.
  • the transmitter consists of the key (10) which has at its 1st end (11) an element of gripping and at its 2nd end (12) a magnet (14).
  • Figure 3 shows that the key (10) crosses a counterweight (1) right through the groove (36) and also crosses right through the rod (7), which rod (7) passes through the counterweight (1) through the opening (6).
  • the user selects at the low point position (see Fig. 1) the desired number of counterweight which will constitute the part of the stack (3) which it will move.
  • the fact that the transmitter is made by the key (10) allows to know the initial position (18) thereof, and therefore the number of counterweights selected by the user.
  • This receiver system is consisting of detectors (16) fixed and electrically connected to a module (19). Modules (19) are fixed on the rigid part (20) of the support (15). Figure 3 less than the detectors (16) are placed in a plane substantially parallel to the axis (13) of the key (10). The detectors (16) are located in the magnetic field of the magnet (14). This provision allows detection by one or more detectors (16) of the proximity of the magnet (14) whatever the depth position of the key (10) along its own axis (13).
  • Figure 4 shows a side view of the transmitter / receiver system.
  • This view shows, by way of nonlimiting example, the mobile assembly in a position different from the any position during its movement, integral with the mobile assembly, according to the axis (5).
  • the magnet (14) housed at the end (12) of the key (10), actuates the detectors (31) which are in the magnetic field which it generates, and does not operate the detectors (32) which are not in this magnetic field.
  • This device is not limiting to a total number of detectors (16), nor to the number of detectors actuated (31) simultaneously by the magnet (14).
  • an electric voltage is applied at the terminals of each detector (16) fixed on a module (19).
  • Each detector is connected to a specific electrical circuit.
  • the detector (31) which is in the magnetic field of the magnet (14) sees its electrical contact (34) closed.
  • An electric current flows through the specific electric circuit (37).
  • the detector (32) which is not in the magnetic field of the magnet (14) sees its electrical contact (35) open. No electrical current flows through the specific electrical circuit (33).
  • the electrical circuit (33) is specific to the detector (32). In this way, by processing the signal, the device delivers information on the electrical state of each detector (16).
  • FIG. 5 represented is a schematic view of the connections between the transmitter / receiver system and the signal processing device (17).
  • Figure 5 shows that the device (17) and the transmitter / receiver system are electrically connected by the connection (27).
  • Figure 5 also shows that the receiver is composed of a master module (24) which carries the 1st end (38) of the connection (27), while the 2nd end (39) is fixed on the device (17).
  • This receiver is also composed of several slave modules (25) electrically connected to each other on the one hand, and to the master module (24) on the other hand.
  • the example shown in FIG. 5 is not limiting, and the device can include a variable number of slave modules (25).
  • the device (17) is connected at (40) to a power supply, and can be connected at (41) to a digital / analog converter which makes the device (17) compatible with any other system, in particular a paper printer, a computer, to any data medium.
  • the user places the key (10) between two counterweights (1) and through the selector rod (7) via an orifice (9). He has selected a number of counterweights (1) constituting the part of the stack (3) which he will move along the axis (5) via the transmission strap (8).
  • the initial position (18) of the key (10) is therefore known to the device (16) insofar as the position of the detector (s), located in the magnetic field of the magnet (14), is known.
  • These detectors (16) when they are in the magnetic field of the magnet (14) are actuated and their electrical contacts fixed on an electronic module (19) are closed. The detection of the closure of these electrical contacts by measuring an electric current, enables the module to distinguish between actuated detectors (31) and non-actuated detectors (32). This identification delivers the position of the detectors on the module (19) and therefore on the support (15) and therefore of the key (10) on the axis (5).
