Definitions
- the present invention relates to a measurement arrangement for detecting the passage time required for a person to pass through a particular one of a plurality of selectable different path loops.
- the invention can be seen in the field of active sports activities of children, adolescents and adults.
- a measuring arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1 is made WO 90/11108 known.
- the invention also provides for a plurality of different path loops, of which only one is to be traversed per measuring cycle, even the respective maneuverability in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction can be easily determined.
- the reversal points of the individual different path loops, for example, within an angular range of up to 140 °, so that the individual reversal points can be seen from a single position at the same time.
- the start and end point and the individual reversal points devices are provided for the generation of measuring pulses, with the aid of which one of the measuring device associated timer is connected so that the latter is set on the first pass in progress and the last run out of gear. In this way, the total time required to pass through the respective path loop can be accurately detected.
- the measuring pulses can also be triggered by suitably trained persons. For this purpose, it suffices if the person walking through the path loop along a given line gets into the perspective of the person measuring and immediately thereafter the measuring pulse, e.g. is triggered by a manually operated key.
- the distances between the start and end point and the individual reversal points should be equal to one another. Compliance with equal distances between the start and end point and the single reversal points and the measuring points can be integrated in the measuring system, preferably so that the measuring device only then goes into the measuring cycle, if previously a distance measurement is performed.
- the distances between the points at which the measuring pulses are generated for each path loop and the start and end point should be the same size.
- the invention provides, with a first device to generate a measuring pulse immediately behind the start and end point and with a further device during the first run through a measuring pulse immediately before the reversal point.
- This second measuring pulse is needed to detect the reversal time at the reversal point, since the person concerned has to go through the second device again immediately after the reversal point, but in the opposite direction.
- Each reversal point is then associated with a visually or acoustically perceptible signaling device, wherein the different signaling devices are independently switched on and off.
- a transmitter which transmits the command to display the signal of all possible signals only to a single signaling device.
- the purpose of this measure is also to determine the reaction time of the person concerned, which is needed to make way for one or the other of the possible path loops.
- This measure is supported by a device with which the different signaling devices can be switched on unpredictably and arbitrarily, with only one of all signaling devices being able to be activated, while the others are not.
- the devices for generating the measuring pulses contain non-contact triggering devices.
- measuring pulses can preferably be transmitted wirelessly.
- a further development of the invention provides to make visible the times recorded by the timer on a display panel. Possibly. Times can also be stored and evaluated in an electronic memory independent of the person or person. Furthermore, it can be provided to output the measurement results obtained here via a printer and, as it were, as a document to hand over to the participating persons.
- the measuring arrangement according to the invention is not limited to a single location.
- the individual components such as timer and possibly scoreboard and, if present, the signaling devices as portable units that can be set up independently of each other, for example, in the schoolyard, the gymnasium or any other suitable place.
- the individual components on mounting surfaces on which, for example, a band advertising or the logo of a sponsor or the like can be clearly visible attached.
- a development of the invention also receives special attention, in which the communicative connection between the individual units is carried out by wireless signal transmission.
- the figures show a measuring arrangement 1 according to the present invention.
- the reversal points 3a-3d extend in different directions so that the reversal points and thus also the course of the path loops 4a-4e can be seen from the start and destination point 2.
- the person must now pass through one of the path loops in response to a predetermined signal, having to orbit the associated reversal point 3a-3d and then having to return to the start and end points.
- devices 6a, 6b are provided for generating measuring pulses, which intersect the respectively traversed path and generate a signal with the passing of the intersection, by means of which the timer 7 is switched on and off so that the entire cycle time 5, ie the time required to travel the measurement path back and forth is detected.
- This device is just behind the start and finish point and sets the timer 7 in motion, as soon as the person has passed the intersection between the measuring line and the path loop. After circulating the reversal point, the person concerned returns to this intersection and thus generates when passing this intersection a measurement pulse, which brings the set in the beginning time clock to stop, so that the total time required on the timer 7 is read.
- timer 7 may be coupled to a display panel 8, so that even from a long distance the respective time (respective times) is clearly displayed (are).
- a communicative connection 9 is required between the device 6a, 6b for generating the measuring pulses and the timer 7.
- the communicative connection 9 is created via a signal transmission line (dot-dashed line) which is to be arranged as far as possible outside the path loops 4a-4e.
- the distances 10, which exist between the start and end point 2 and the individual turning points 3a-3d, should be equal to each other. In this way, it is ensured that ultimately the time required to go through the path loop is influenced solely by the individual performance of the respective person.
- the monitoring of the individual relevant distances can be done accordingly Figure 4 by distance measuring devices 34a-e, preferably by wireless communication eg between the portable light sources 17a, 17b and the reflectors 18a, 18b.
- the system is switched to measuring cycle only when the measured distances were recognized as correct.
- Distance monitoring can be regular or stochastic.
- the distances between those points at which the measuring pulses are generated for each path loop, and the start and end point 2 should be the same size.
- the embodiments show a development in which a first device 6a for generating the measuring pulses in the vicinity of the start and finish point 2 is arranged and a second device 6b in the Near the turning points 3a-3d.
- the zero point of the time measurement is set in motion.
- the second device 6b for generating a measuring pulse is the second device 6b for generating a measuring pulse, so that when passing this second device 6b on the way out a first intermediate time 30a is measured, which allows a statement about the Springtrich.
- an internal second time can be set to the zero point in order to detect the time required to run around the turning point 3a-3d, since the person in question, on the way back the loop, immediately after the turning point 3a-3d, the second device 6b to generate a measuring pulse happens again and triggers another measuring pulse.
- the elapsed time between the two last measuring pulses is referred to as the second intermediate time 30b, which allows a statement about the maneuverability and skill, while allowing for the passage of the remaining distance to the first device 6a for generating a measuring pulse, the detection of a third intermediate time, based the sprinting ability can be assessed.
- the third intermediate time 30c and the first intermediate time 30a form a difference which gives information about the acceleration capacity of the rotor.
- each reversal point 3a-3d is assigned a signal device 12.
- the signaling device 12 outputs an optically and / or acoustically perceptible signal.
- the individual signaling devices can be switched on and off independently of each other via a transmitter 13.
- These signaling devices 12 are to give a signal to the respective runner just before the start, which of the respectively selectable path loops 4a-4e he has to go through. With the appearance of the respective signal therefore the start signal is connected, with which the total time is set in motion, so that the reaction time of the rotor is measured, which requires this to run in the appropriate direction.
- the barrier 35 serves the purpose that the starting point 2 can not be easily skipped, but that must first use the right-to-left reaction before going on.
- the total time required for traversing the route is thus composed in the embodiments shown of four individual times, namely the reaction time from the output of the signal until reaching the first device 6a for generating a measuring pulse, the transit time for the way between the first device 6a and the second device 6b, the turning time between the first pass of the second device 6b and the second pass after the turning point and the travel time between the second device 6b and the first device 6a on the way back to the start and end points.
- the display values on the display panel 8 should be supplemented by the dotted response time 32.
- only one of the signaling devices 12 is unpredictably and arbitrarily switchable at a time, while the other signaling devices are then no longer activated.
- a technically easy to implement solution provides a random number generator whose unpredictable output is used to generate a turn-on signal for one of the signaling devices 12.
- this may e.g. be an even or an odd number or zero and one.
- the requirements for the reactivity are increased by the fact that the signal devices are equal to each other and deliver similar signals.
- the figures show exemplary embodiments in which the devices for generating the measuring pulses 6a, 6b contain non-contact triggering devices.
- the devices 6a, 6b for generating the measuring pulses, the timer 7 and possibly also the display panel 8 and, if present, the signaling devices 12 are expediently designed as portable units, which can be set up as such outdoors or under the roof.
- the respective structural units comprise functional blocks.
- the figures show a development in which the communicative connection between the devices 6a, 6b for generating the measuring pulses and the timer 7 is wireless.
- Another radio contact is here between the signal generator 12 and the central control unit and in addition between the portable transmitter 13, which is in the form of a handset and the signal devices 12 so that - here - the complete system communicates wirelessly with each other.
- each of the portable units 17a-21 is provided with a radio antenna 22-25b and the central control unit, in which the timer 7 is housed, connected accordingly.
- each reversal point 3a-3d is assigned to be included and mitzu117des by the respective person Miterbingsel 26. This is stored at the respective reversal point 3a-3d and must be taken during the rotation of the reversal point 3a-3d by the movements deceleration, bending, picking, erecting and accelerating and brought to the start and finish point 2.
- the figures further show an electrical circuit 27, which serves the detection, storage and possibly evaluation of the individual personal times.
- a corresponding computer in the portable unit 20, which includes the timer integrated, or the portable unit 20 has an interface that can be connected to an external computer.
- FIG. 3 shows for this purpose further alternatives in which four path loops 4a-4d are available for selection or, alternatively, a path loop 4e, which includes all reversal points.
- Geometric quantities must therefore be determined, e.g. Clearances that are unique, easy to monitor and, if changed, prevent operation of the plant.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Meßanordnung zur Erfassung der Durchlaufzeit, die eine Person zum Durchlaufen einer bestimmten von mehreren auswählbaren unterschiedlichen Wegschleifen benötigt.The present invention relates to a measurement arrangement for detecting the passage time required for a person to pass through a particular one of a plurality of selectable different path loops.
Die Erfindung ist im Bereich sportlich aktiver Betätigungen von Kindern, Jugendlichen und auch Erwachsenen zu sehen.The invention can be seen in the field of active sports activities of children, adolescents and adults.
Insoweit ist es bekannt, die zum Durchlaufen einer vorbestimmten Wegstrecke benötigte Zeit durch eine manuell oder automatisch auslösende Meßanordnung zu erfassen und die für verschiedene Personen erfaßten Werte anschließend miteinander zu vergleichen.In that regard, it is known to detect the time required for passing through a predetermined distance by a manually or automatically triggering measuring arrangement and then to compare the values recorded for different people with each other.
Wesentlich ist insoweit, daß die jeweils durchlaufene Strecke für jede teilnehmende Person gleich groß ist, so daß sich hieraus die Möglichkeit eines Vergleichs der körperlichen bzw. sportlichen Leistung ohne weiteres ergibt.It is essential to the extent that each track taken for each participating person is the same size, so that from this the possibility of a comparison of physical or athletic performance results readily.
Mit diesen bekannten Meßanordnungen, bestehend aus einer Wegstrecke und einer zwischen Beginn und Ende der Wegstrecke angeordneten Zeitmeßeinrichtung kann jedoch nur die sogenannte Sprintzeit erfaßt werden bzw. im Langstreckenbereich die Gesamtzeit, die naturgemäß auch diejenigen Zeiten umfaßt, die zum Aufbau der Langstreckengeschwindigkeiten benötigt werden.With these known measuring arrangements, consisting of a path and a arranged between the beginning and end of the distance timepiece, however, only the so-called sprint time can be detected or in the long-haul area the total time, which naturally includes those times that are needed to build the long-distance speeds.
Eine Messanordnung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus
Nicht erfaßbar sind mit den bekannten Meßanordnungen Zeitabschnitte, die für vorbestimmte Bewegungsabläufe wie z.B. Umkehr der Laufrichtung oder dergleichen benötigt werden.Not detectable with the known measuring arrangements time periods that are required for predetermined movements such as reversal of the direction or the like.
Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, Maßnahmen anzugeben, mit denen durch ein einfaches Lauf- und Wendigkeits-/Geschicklichkeitstraining die sportliche Leistungsfähigkeit einzelner Personen genauer beurteilt werden kann, wobei trotzdem die Vergleichbarkeit personengebundener Ergebnisse beibehalten werden soll.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide measures by which the athletic performance of individuals can be assessed more accurately by a simple running and maneuverability / skill training, while still maintaining the comparability of personal results.
Diese Aufgabe löst die Erfindung mit den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs.This object is achieved by the invention with the features of the main claim.
Aus der Erfindung ergibt sich der Vorteil eines weiten sportlichen Betätigungsfeldes, bei welchem körperliche Wendigkeit, Reaktionszeit, Abbremszeit, Beschleunigungszeit und dergleichen präzise erfaßt werden kann und wobei die oben genannten personengebundenen Zeiten für unterschiedliche Personen sogar miteinander vergleichbar sind.From the invention there is the advantage of a wide athletic field of activity, in which physical maneuverability, reaction time, braking time, acceleration time and the like can be precisely detected and wherein the above-mentioned personal times are even comparable for different people.
Hieraus ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß in Verbindung mit einem Sprintabschnitt entlang der Wegschleife z.B. die beim Tennisspielen notwendige Wendigkeit bzw. die zum Abbremsen bzw. zur Beschleunigung notwendigen Bewegungsabläufe gezielt trainiert werden können.This results in the advantage that, in conjunction with a sprint section along the path loop, e.g. the maneuverability necessary for playing tennis or the movements necessary for decelerating or accelerating can be specifically trained.
Es ist insoweit bislang nicht bekannt, durch den unmittelbaren Zeitvergleich z.B. bei einer Wendebewegung einen Trainigsfortschritt zu dokumentieren und ggf. gezielt zu fördern.It is not known so far, by the direct time comparison, e.g. to document a training progress during a turning movement and if necessary to promote it in a targeted manner.
Da die Erfindung insbesondere auch mehrere unterschiedliche Wegschleifen vorsieht, von denen lediglich eine einzige pro Meßzyklus zu durchlaufen ist, läßt sich sogar die jeweilige Wendigkeit im oder gegen den Uhrzeigersinn ohne weiteres ermitteln.Since the invention also provides for a plurality of different path loops, of which only one is to be traversed per measuring cycle, even the respective maneuverability in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction can be easily determined.
Wesentlich ist, daß für alle in Frage kommenden Wegschleifen ein gemeinsamer Start- und Zielpunkt vorgesehen ist.It is essential that a common start and finish point is provided for all possible path loops.
Dies bedeutet, daß die jeweilige Person die Wegschleife, beginnend beim Startpunkt, zu durchlaufen hat und bis zum Zielpunkt zurückkehren muß.This means that the respective person has to go through the path loop starting from the starting point and has to return to the destination point.
Hiervon ausgehend liegen die Umkehrpunkte der einzelnen unterschiedlichen Wegschleifen beispielsweise innerhalb eines Winkelbereichs von bis zu 140°, so daß die einzelnen Umkehrpunkte von einer einzigen Position aus zugleich erblickt werden können.On this basis, the reversal points of the individual different path loops, for example, within an angular range of up to 140 °, so that the individual reversal points can be seen from a single position at the same time.
Zwischen dem Start- und Zielpunkt und den einzelnen Umkehrpunkten sind Vorrichtungen zur Erzeugung von Meßimpulsen vorgesehen, mit deren Hilfe eine der Meßanordnung zugeordnete Zeituhr so verbunden ist, daß letztere beim ersten Durchlauf in Gang und beim letzten Durchlauf außer Gang gesetzt wird. Auf diese Weise läßt sich die Gesamtzeit, die zum Durchlaufen der jeweiligen Wegschleife erforderlich ist, genau erfassen.Between the start and end point and the individual reversal points devices are provided for the generation of measuring pulses, with the aid of which one of the measuring device associated timer is connected so that the latter is set on the first pass in progress and the last run out of gear. In this way, the total time required to pass through the respective path loop can be accurately detected.
Die Meßimpulse können prinzipiell auch von entsprechend angelernten Personen ausgelöst werden. Hierzu genügt es, wenn die jeweils die Wegschleife durchlaufende Person entlang einer vorgegebenen Linie in den Blickwinkel der messenden Person gerät und unmittelbar danach der Meßimpuls z.B. über eine von Hand betätigte Taste ausgelöst wird.In principle, the measuring pulses can also be triggered by suitably trained persons. For this purpose, it suffices if the person walking through the path loop along a given line gets into the perspective of the person measuring and immediately thereafter the measuring pulse, e.g. is triggered by a manually operated key.
Um die jeweiligen Meßergebnisse, abhängig von der jeweils vorgesehenen Laufrichtung, unmittelbar miteinander vergleichen zu können, sollten die Abstände zwischen dem Start- und Zielpunkt und den einzelnen Umkehrpunkten untereinander gleich groß sein. Die Einhaltung gleicher Abstände zwischen Start- und Zielpunkt und den einzenen Umkehrpunkten sowie den Meßstellen kann im Meßsystem integriert sein, vorzugsweise so, daß die Meßanordnung erst dann in den Meßzyklus geht, wenn zuvor eine Abstandsmessung erfolgt ist.In order to be able to compare the respective measurement results directly with each other, depending on the respectively provided direction of travel, the distances between the start and end point and the individual reversal points should be equal to one another. Compliance with equal distances between the start and end point and the single reversal points and the measuring points can be integrated in the measuring system, preferably so that the measuring device only then goes into the measuring cycle, if previously a distance measurement is performed.
Im Falle einer Meßanordnung mit lediglich zwei Umkehrpunkten ergibt sich ein gleichseitiges Dreieck, dessen jeweils gleich lange Schenkel den Verbindungslinien zwischen Start- und Zielpunkt und den beiden Umkehrpunkten entsprechen.In the case of a measuring arrangement with only two reversal points results in an equilateral triangle, each having the same length legs the connecting lines between Start and end point and the two reversal points correspond.
Sind mehr als zwei Umkehrpunkte vorgesehen, sollten diese entsprechend auf den Ecken eines gleichmäßigen Polygons liegen.If more than two reversal points are provided, these should be located on the corners of a uniform polygon.
Um auch insoweit zu eindeutig miteinander vergleichbaren Meßergebnissen zu kommen, sollten die Abstände zwischen den Stellen, an denen für jede Wegschleife die Meßimpulse erzeugt werden und dem Start- und Zielpunkt jeweils gleich groß sein.In order to come to clearly comparable measurement results in this respect, the distances between the points at which the measuring pulses are generated for each path loop and the start and end point should be the same size.
Die Erfindung sieht vor, mit einer ersten Vorrichtung einen Meßimpuls unmittelbar hinter dem Start- und Zielpunkt zu erzeugen und mit einer weiteren Vorrichtung beim ersten Durchlaufen einen Meßimpuls unmittelbar vor dem Umkehrpunkt. Dieser zweite Meßimpuls wird benötigt, um die Umkehrzeit am Umkehrpunkt zu erfassen, da die betreffende Person die zweite Vorrichtung unmittelbar hinter dem Umkehrpunkt noch einmal - aber in umgekehrter Richtung - zu Durchlaufen hat.The invention provides, with a first device to generate a measuring pulse immediately behind the start and end point and with a further device during the first run through a measuring pulse immediately before the reversal point. This second measuring pulse is needed to detect the reversal time at the reversal point, since the person concerned has to go through the second device again immediately after the reversal point, but in the opposite direction.
Wird anschließend auf dem Rückweg zum Start- und Zielpunkt die erstgenannte Vorrichtung noch einmal durchlaufen, wird somit auch die Gesamtzeit der Umkehrung erfaßt.If, subsequently, the first-mentioned device is run through again on the way back to the start and finish point, the total time of the reversal is thus also detected.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims.
Den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 8 kommt besondere Bedeutung zu.The features of
Jedem Umkehrpunkt ist danach eine optisch oder akustisch wahrnehmbare Signalvorrichtung zugeordnet, wobei die unterschiedlichen Signalvorrichtungen unabhängig voneinander ein- und ausschaltbar sind.Each reversal point is then associated with a visually or acoustically perceptible signaling device, wherein the different signaling devices are independently switched on and off.
Hierzu wird ein Geber benötigt, der von allen möglichen Signalen nur an eine einzige Signalvorrichtung den Befehl übermittelt, das Signal auch anzuzeigen.For this purpose, a transmitter is required, which transmits the command to display the signal of all possible signals only to a single signaling device.
Diese Maßnahme dient dem Zweck, auch die Reaktionszeit der betreffenden Person zu ermitteln, die benötigt wird, um sich auf den Weg für die eine oder die andere der möglichen Wegschleifen zu machen.The purpose of this measure is also to determine the reaction time of the person concerned, which is needed to make way for one or the other of the possible path loops.
Da die Umkehrpunkte bezüglich des Start- und Zielpunktes unter einem vorbestimmten Winkel auseinander liegen, muß die betreffende Person daher vor dem Start entscheiden, in welche Richtung sie loszulaufen hat. Es lassen sich daher auch gezielt mögliche Defizite in der Fähigkeit, rechts und links spontan zu unterscheiden, erkennen und ggf. durch entsprechendes Training verringern.Since the reversal points with respect to the start and finish point are at a predetermined angle apart, therefore, the person concerned must therefore decide before the start in which direction she has to start running. It is therefore also possible to specifically detect possible deficits in the ability to spontaneously differentiate right and left, and if necessary reduce it by appropriate training.
Diese Maßnahme wird unterstützt durch eine Vorrichtung, mit welcher die unterschiedlichen Signalvorrichtungen unvorhersehbar und willkürlich einschaltbar sind, wobei von allen Signalvorrichtungen immer nur lediglich eine aktivierbar sein soll, die anderen jedoch nicht.This measure is supported by a device with which the different signaling devices can be switched on unpredictably and arbitrarily, with only one of all signaling devices being able to be activated, while the others are not.
Hierfür bietet es sich an, die Signalvorrichtungen über einen als Zufallszahlengenerator ausgebildeten Geber zu schalten, so daß nach einer gewissen Aktivierungszeit plötzlich und unerwartet jeweils nur eine der Signalvorrichtungen das Signal zum Loslaufen in der durch die Signalvorrichtung bestimmten Richtung ausgibt.For this purpose, it makes sense to switch the signaling devices via a transmitter designed as a random number generator, so that after a certain activation time suddenly and unexpectedly only one of the signal devices outputs the signal to start running in the direction determined by the signaling device.
Zusätzliche Reaktionsschnelligkeit wird abgefordert, wenn die Signalvorrichtungen untereinander gleich sind und gleichartige Signale abgeben, da dann erst mit der mentalen Umsetzung des durch die Wahrnehmungssinne erfaßten Signals und die richtungsmäßige Zuordnung für die zu durchlaufende Wegschleife feststeht.Additional responsiveness is required when the signal devices are equal to each other and give similar signals, since then only with the mental Implementation of the detected by the perception sense signal and the directional assignment for the loop to be traversed is established.
Zur Vermeidung von auf dem Boden liegenden Kabeln und damit zur Verringerung der Unfallgefahr trägt eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung bei, bei welcher die Vorrichtungen zur Erzeugung der Meßimpulse berührungslos wirkende Auslösevorrichtungen enthalten.To avoid lying on the floor cables and thus reducing the risk of accidents contributes to a development of the invention, in which the devices for generating the measuring pulses contain non-contact triggering devices.
Sofern es sich dabei um Lichtschranken handelt, werden diese beim Durchlaufen durchbrochen und die Meßimpulse auf diese Weise z.B. durch Schließen der entsprechenden Kontakte erzeugt. Diese Meßimpulse können bevorzugt drahtlos übertragen werden.If these are light barriers, they are broken through as they pass through and the measuring pulses in this way, e.g. created by closing the corresponding contacts. These measuring pulses can preferably be transmitted wirelessly.
Eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung sieht vor, die von der Zeituhr erfaßten Zeiten auf einer Anzeigetafel sichtbar zu machen. Ggf. lassen sich die Zeiten auch personengebunden oder personenunabhängig in einem elektronischen Speicher ablegen und auswerten. Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, die hier anfallenden Meßergebnisse über einen Drucker auszugeben und, sozusagen als Dokument, den teilnehmenden Personen auszuhändigen.A further development of the invention provides to make visible the times recorded by the timer on a display panel. Possibly. Times can also be stored and evaluated in an electronic memory independent of the person or person. Furthermore, it can be provided to output the measurement results obtained here via a printer and, as it were, as a document to hand over to the participating persons.
Die erfindungsgemäße Meßanordnung ist nicht auf einen einzigen Ort beschränkt.The measuring arrangement according to the invention is not limited to a single location.
Hierzu wird vorgeschlagen, die einzelnen Bestandteile wie Zeituhr und ggf. Anzeigetafel und, sofern vorhanden, auch die Signalvorrichtungen als tragbare Baueinheiten auszubilden, die z.B. auf dem Schulhof, der Turnhalle oder einem sonstigen geeigneten Platz unabhängig voneinander aufstellbar sind. Vorteilhafterweise weisen die einzelnen Bestandteile Anbringungsflächen auf, an denen z.B. eine Bandenwerbung oder das Logo eines Sponsors oder ähnliches deutlich sichtbar angebracht werden kann.For this purpose, it is proposed to form the individual components such as timer and possibly scoreboard and, if present, the signaling devices as portable units that can be set up independently of each other, for example, in the schoolyard, the gymnasium or any other suitable place. Advantageously, the individual components on mounting surfaces on which, for example, a band advertising or the logo of a sponsor or the like can be clearly visible attached.
Insoweit kommt auch einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung besonderes Augenmerk zu, bei welcher die kommunikative Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Baueinheiten durch drahtlose Signalübermittlung erfolgt.In that regard, a development of the invention also receives special attention, in which the communicative connection between the individual units is carried out by wireless signal transmission.
Will man zusätzlich die personengebundene Geschicklichkeit feststellen, wird vorgeschlagen, an jedem Umkehrpunkt oder im Verlauf jeder Wegschleife ein oder mehrere von der jeweiligen Person aufzunehmende und ggf. mitzubringende Mitbringsel vorzusehen. Es kann sich um Holzstäbe, Bälle, Ringe oder dergleichen handeln, für deren Aufnahme sich die jeweilige Person nach entsprechendem Abbremsen bücken muß, um hiernach wieder auf Ihre volle Geschwindigkeit zu beschleunigen.If, in addition, it is intended to determine personal dexterity, it is proposed to provide one or more tokens to be picked up by the respective person at each reversal point or in the course of each loop. It can be wooden sticks, balls, rings or the like, for their recording, the person must bend down after appropriate braking to accelerate hereafter back to your full speed.

Sofern im folgenden nichts anderes gesagt ist, gilt die folgende Beschreibung stets für alle Figuren.Unless otherwise stated below, the following description applies to all figures.
Die Figuren zeigen eine Meßanordnung 1 nach der vorliegenden Erfindung.The figures show a measuring
Zwischen einem Start- und Zielpunkt 2 und unterschiedlichen Umkehrpunkten 3a-3d spannen sich jeweils unterschiedlich definierte Wegschleifen 4a-4e auf, die von einer nicht näher erläuterten Person nach Maßgabe der folgenden Beschreibung zu durchlaufen sind.Between a start and finish
Hierzu erstrecken sich, vom Start- und Zielpunkt 2 aus gesehen, die Umkehrpunkte 3a-3d in unterschiedliche Richtungen so, daß die Umkehrpunkte und damit auch der Verlauf der Wegschleifen 4a-4e vom Start- und Zielpunkt 2 aus gesehen werden können.To this end, viewed from the start and
Die Person muß nun auf ein vorbestimmtes Signal hin eine der Wegschleifen durchlaufen, wobei sie den zugehörigen Umkehrpunkt 3a-3d zu umlaufen hat und anschließend zum Start- und Zielpunkt zurückkehren muß.The person must now pass through one of the path loops in response to a predetermined signal, having to orbit the associated
Während die jeweilige Wegschleife 4a-4e durchlaufen wird soll die dabei benötigte zeit erfaßt werden.While the
Zu diesem Zweck sind Vorrichtungen 6a,6b zur Erzeugung von Meßimpulsen vorgesehen, die den jeweils durchlaufenen Weg kreuzen und mit dem Passieren der Kreuzungsstelle ein Signal erzeugen, mit dessen Hilfe die Zeituhr 7 so ein- und ausgesteuert wird, daß die gesamte Durchlaufzeit 5, also diejenige Zeit, die zum Durchlaufen der Meßstrecke hin und zurück benötigt wird, erfaßt wird.For this purpose,
Prinzipiell ist es möglich, die Gesamtzeit, die benötigt wird, um eine der Wegschleifen zu durchlaufen, zu erfassen.In principle, it is possible to detect the total time required to go through one of the path loops.
Zu diesem Zweck ist lediglich eine einzige Vorrichtung 6a zum Erzeugen der Meßimpulse vonnöten.For this purpose, only a
Diese Vorrichtung befindet sich kurz hinter dem Start- und Zielpunkt und setzt die Zeituhr 7 in Gang, sobald die betreffende Person den Schnittpunkt zwischen der Meßlinie und der Wegschleife passiert hat. Nach Umlaufen des Umkehrpunktes kehrt die betreffende Person an diese Kreuzungsstelle zurück und erzeugt somit beim Passieren dieser Kreuzungsstelle einen Meßimpuls, der die eingangs in Gang gesetzte Zeituhr zum Anhalten bringt, so daß die insgesamt benötigte Zeit auf der Zeituhr 7 ablesbar ist.This device is just behind the start and finish point and sets the timer 7 in motion, as soon as the person has passed the intersection between the measuring line and the path loop. After circulating the reversal point, the person concerned returns to this intersection and thus generates when passing this intersection a measurement pulse, which brings the set in the beginning time clock to stop, so that the total time required on the timer 7 is read.
Ergänzend hierzu kann die Zeituhr 7 mit einer Anzeigetafel 8 gekoppelt sein, so daß auch aus großer Entfernung die jeweilige Zeit (jeweiligen Zeiten) übersichtlich darstellbar ist (sind).In addition, the timer 7 may be coupled to a
Zu diesem Zweck bedarf es einer kommunikativen Verbindung 9 zwischen der Vorrichtung 6a,6b zum Erzeugen der Meßimpulse und der Zeituhr 7.For this purpose, a communicative connection 9 is required between the
Im einfachsten Fall wird die kommunikative Verbindung 9 über eine Signalübermittlungsleitung (strichpunktiert) erstellt, die möglichst außerhalb der Wegschleifen 4a-4e anzuordnen ist.In the simplest case, the communicative connection 9 is created via a signal transmission line (dot-dashed line) which is to be arranged as far as possible outside the
Um die Vergleichbarkeit der Meßergebnisse zu gewährleisten, sollten die Abstände 10, die zwischen dem Start- und Zielpunkt 2 und den einzelnen Umkehrpunkten 3a-3d bestehen, untereinander gleich groß sein. Auf diese Weise ist sichergestellt, daß letztlich die zum Durchlaufen der Wegschleife benötigte Zeit allein von der individuellen Leistungsfähigkeit der jeweiligen Person beeinflußt wird. Die Überwachung der einzelnen maßgeblichen Abstände kann entsprechend
Sofern mehr als zwei Umkehrpunkte 3a-3d vorgesehen sind, lassen sich vergleichbare Meßergebnisse dadurch erreichen, daß die Umkehrpunkte 3a-3d auf den Ecken eines vorbestimmt großen gleichmäßigen Polygons liegen.If more than two
Zusätzlich sollten die Abstände zwischen denjenigen Stellen, an denen für jede Wegschleife die Meßimpulse erzeugt werden, und dem Start- und Zielpunkt 2 jeweils gleich groß sein.In addition, the distances between those points at which the measuring pulses are generated for each path loop, and the start and
Da die Stellen, an denen für jede Wegschleife die Meßimpulse erzeugt werden, die Kreuzungsstellen zwischen den zu passierenden Meßlinien und den Wegschleifen an sich sind, ist auf diese Weise sichergestellt, daß alle zur Zeitmessung erfolgten Meßimpulse unabhängig vom jeweiligen Verlauf der Wegschleife 4a-4e stets zu Beginn und Ende einer für alle Wegschleifen übereinstimmenden Wegstrecke erzeugt werden, so daß die Vergleichbarkeit der gemessenen Werte in jedem Fall gewährleistet ist.Since the points at which the measuring pulses are generated for each path loop, the intersections between the lines to be measured and the path loops per se, it is ensured in this way that all the time measurement measuring pulses regardless of the course of the
Obwohl es prinzipiell genügt, lediglich eine einzige Vorrichtung 6a zur Erzeugung der Meßimpulse vorzusehen, zeigen die Ausführungsbeispiele eine Weiterbildung, bei welcher eine erste Vorrichtung 6a zur Erzeugung der Meßimpulse in der Nähe des Start- und Zielpunkts 2 angeordnet ist und eine zweite Vorrichtung 6b in der Nähe der Umkehrpunkte 3a-3d.Although it is in principle sufficient to provide only a
Auf diese Weise lassen sich an vorbestimmten Stellen der Wegschleifen 4a-4e Zwischenzeiten erfassen, deren Aussagegehalt individuelle Stärken und Schwächen aufdecken kann.In this way, intermediate times can be detected at predetermined points of the
So wird z.B. auf dem Hinweg vom Start- und Zielpunkt zu einem der Umkehrpunkte 3a-3d mit dem Passieren der ersten Vorrichtung 6a zur Erzeugung der Meßimpulse der Nullpunkt der Zeitmessung in Gang gesetzt. Am Ende des Hinweges zum Umkehrpunkt 3a-3d steht die zweite Vorrichtung 6b zur Erzeugung eines Meßimpulses, so daß beim Passieren dieser zweiten Vorrichtung 6b auf dem Hinweg eine erste Zwischenzeit 30a gemessen wird, die eine Aussage über das Sprintvermögen zuläßt. Zugleich kann mit diesem zweiten Meßimpuls eine interne zweite Zeit auf den Nullpunkt gesetzt werden, um die zum Umlaufen des Umkehrpunkts 3a-3d benötigte Zeit zu erfassen, da die betreffende Person auf dem Rückweg der Wegschleife unmittelbar hinter dem Umkehrpunkt 3a-3d die zweite Vorrichtung 6b zur Erzeugung eines Meßimpulses erneut passiert und einen weiteren Meßimpuls auslöst. Die zwischen den beiden letzten Meßimpulsen verstrichene Zeit wird als zweite Zwischenzeit 30b bezeichnet, die eine Aussage über die Wendigkeit und Geschicklichkeit zuläßt, während die zum Durchlaufen der restlichen Strecke bis zur ersten Vorrichtung 6a zur Erzeugung eines Meßimpulses die Erfassung einer dritten Zwischenzeit ermöglicht, anhand deren das Sprintvermögen beurteilt werden kann. Im Unterschied zur Sprintstrecke auf dem Hinweg ergibt sich für die Sprintstrecke des Rückwegs ein abweichender Wert, da der Läufer die zweite Vorrichtung 6b auf dem Rückweg mit einer höheren Geschwindigkeit passiert als auf dem Hinweg. Die dritte Zwischenzeit 30c und die erste Zwischenzeit 30a bilden eine Differenz, die Auskunft über das Beschleunigungsvermögen des Läufers gibt.Thus, for example, on the way from the start and end point to one of the reversal points 3a-3d with the passage of the
Durch einfache Addition der Zwischenzeiten 30a-30c ergibt sich die Gesamtzeit 31, die ebenfalls in den individuellen Vergleich der Ergebnisse einbezogen werden kann.Simply adding the
Zusätzlich zeigen die Figuren eine Weiterbildung, bei welcher vom Start- und Zielpunkt 2 aus betrachtet jedem Umkehrpunkt 3a-3d eine Signalvorrichtung 12 zugeordnet ist.In addition, the figures show a development in which, viewed from the start and
Die Signalvorrichtung 12 gibt ein optisch und/oder akustisch wahrnehmbares Signal aus. Die einzelnen Signalvorrichtungen sind voneinander unabhängig über einen Geber 13 ein- und ausschaltbar.The
Sinn und Zweck dieser Signalvorrichtungen 12 ist es, dem jeweiligen Läufer kurz vor dem Start ein Signal zu geben, welche der jeweils auswählbaren Wegschleifen 4a-4e er zu durchlaufen hat. Mit dem Erscheinen des jeweiligen Signals ist deshalb das Startsignal verbunden, mit welchem die Totalzeit in Gang gesetzt wird, so daß auch die Reaktionszeit des Läufers gemessen wird, die dieser benötigt, um in der entsprechenden Richtung loszulaufen.The purpose of these signaling
Dabei dient die Barriere 35 dem Zweck, daß der Startpunkt 2 nicht einfach übersprungen werden kann, sondern daß zuerst die Rechts-Links-Reaktion einsetzen muß, bevor losgelaufen wird.The barrier 35 serves the purpose that the
Für diesen Fall wäre also mit einer zusätzlichen Zwischenzeit zu rechnen, die ein Maß für die Reaktionszeit ist, die der Läufer zur Beobachtung der Signalvorrichtungen und zur Entscheidung benötigt, wohin er laufen soll.In this case, therefore, an additional intermediate time would have to be expected, which is a measure of the reaction time that the runner needs to observe the signaling devices and to decide where to go.
Mit dem Durchlaufen der ersten Vorrichtung 6a zur Erzeugung eines Meßimpulses endet demnach die Reaktionszeit.By passing through the
Die insgesamt zum Durchlaufen der Strecke benötigte Zeit setzt sich bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispielen somit aus vier Einzelzeiten zusammen, nämlich der Reaktionszeit von der Ausgabe des Signals bis zum Erreichen der ersten Vorrichtung 6a zur Erzeugung eines Meßimpulses, der Laufzeit für den Hinweg zwischen der ersten Vorrichtung 6a und der zweiten Vorrichtung 6b, der Wendezeit zwischen dem ersten Durchlauf der zweiten Vorrichtung 6b und dem zweiten Durchlauf nach Umlaufen des Umkehrpunkts und der Laufzeit zwischen der zweiten Vorrichtung 6b und der ersten Vorrichtung 6a auf dem Rückweg zum Start- und Zielpunkt.The total time required for traversing the route is thus composed in the embodiments shown of four individual times, namely the reaction time from the output of the signal until reaching the
Demgemäß wären für diese Weiterbildung der Erfindung die Anzeigewerte auf der Anzeigetafel 8 um die punktiert dargestellte Reaktionszeit 32 zu ergänzen.Accordingly, for this development of the invention, the display values on the
Zweckmäßigerweise ist von den Signalvorrichtungen 12 jeweils nur eine unvorhersehbar und willkürlich schaltbar, während die anderen Signalvorrichtungen dann nicht mehr aktivierbar sind.Conveniently, only one of the
Eine technisch einfach zu realisierende Lösung sieht einen Zufallszahlengenerator vor, dessen nicht vorhersehbarer Output zur Erzeugung eines Einschaltsignals für eine der Signalvorrichtungen 12 verwendet wird.A technically easy to implement solution provides a random number generator whose unpredictable output is used to generate a turn-on signal for one of the
Im Falle zweier Signalvorrichtungen kann dies z.B. eine gerade oder eine ungerade Zahl sein oder Null und Eins.In the case of two signaling devices this may e.g. be an even or an odd number or zero and one.
Die Anforderungen an das Reaktionsvermögen werden dadurch erhöht, daß die Signalvorrichtungen untereinander gleich sind und gleichartige Signale abgeben.The requirements for the reactivity are increased by the fact that the signal devices are equal to each other and deliver similar signals.
Zusätzlich zeigen die Figuren Ausführungsbeispiele, bei welchen die Vorrichtungen zur Erzeugung der Meßimpulse 6a,6b berührungslos wirkende Auslösevorrichtungen enthalten.In addition, the figures show exemplary embodiments in which the devices for generating the measuring
Es handelt sich hier um Lichtschranken, bei denen eine Lichtquelle 14 auf einen Reflektor 15 gerichtet ist. Sobald der Lichtstrahl durch den Läufer unterbrochen wird, wird der Meßimpuls ausgelöst.These are light barriers, in which a
Die Vorrichtungen 6a,6b zur Erzeugung der Meßimpulse, die Zeituhr 7 und ggf. auch die Anzeigetafel 8 sowie, sofern vorhanden, die Signalvorrichtungen 12 sind zweckmäßigerweise als tragbare Baueinheiten ausgebildet, die als solche im Freien oder unter Dach aufstellbar sind.The
Dies bietet den Vorteil einer praktisch überall auf Schulhöfen, Sportplätzen oder dergleichen aufbaufähigen Meßanordnung 1, wobei die Baueinheiten zusätzliche werbeflächen bereitstellen, die an Sponsoren vermietet oder verkauft werden können.This offers the advantage of practically everywhere on schoolyards, sports fields or the like
Vorteilhafterweise umfassen die jeweiligen Baueinheiten Funktionsblöcke. So können die Baueinheiten 17a,17b allein die Lichtquellen 14 umfassen, während die Baueinheiten 18a, 18b die Reflektoren 15 umfassen können.Advantageously, the respective structural units comprise functional blocks. Thus, the
Andererseits ist es auch denkbar, alle Lichtquellen 14 und alle Reflektoren 15 in einer einzigen Kiste unterzubringen.On the other hand, it is also conceivable to accommodate all
Darüber hinaus zeigen die Figuren eine Weiterbildung, bei welcher die kommunikative Verbindung zwischen den Vorrichtungen 6a,6b zur Erzeugung der Meßimpulse und der Zeituhr 7 drahtlos erfolgt.In addition, the figures show a development in which the communicative connection between the
Es besteht daher ein ständiger Funkkontakt zwischen den Vorrichtungen 6a,6b und der zentralen Steuereinheit, in welcher die Zeituhr 7 untergebracht ist.There is therefore a constant radio contact between the
Ein weiterer Funkkontakt besteht hier zwischen den Signalgebern 12 und der zentralen Steuereinheit und zusätzlich zwischen dem tragbaren Geber 13, der in Form eines Handgerätes ausgebildet ist und den Signalvorrichtungen 12, so daß - hier - die komplette Anlage drahtlos miteinander kommuniziert.Another radio contact is here between the
Zu diesem Zweck ist jede der tragbaren Baueinheiten 17a-21 mit einer Funkantenne 22-25b versehen und die zentrale Steuereinheit, in welcher die Zeituhr 7 untergebracht ist, entsprechend verschaltet.For this purpose, each of the
Ergänzend hierzu zeigen die Figuren auch, daß optional an jedem Umkehrpunkt 3a-3d ein von der jeweiligen Person aufzunehmendes und mitzubringendes Mitbringsel 26 zugeordnet ist. Dies ist am jeweiligen Umkehrpunkt 3a-3d abgelegt und muß während des Umlaufens des Umkehrpunkts 3a-3d durch die Bewegungsabläufe Abbremsen, Bücken, Aufnehmen, Aufrichten und Beschleunigen aufgenommen und zum Start- und Zielpunkt 2 gebracht werden.In addition, the figures also show that optionally at each
Ergänzend hierzu zeigen die Figuren des weiteren eine elektrische Schaltung 27, die der Erfassung, Abspeicherung und ggf. Auswertung der einzelnen personenbezogenen Zeiten dient.In addition, the figures further show an
Dies kann über herkömmliche Computertechnik leicht realisiert werden. Zu diesem Zweck ist entweder ein entsprechender Computer in die tragbare Baueinheit 20, welche die Zeituhr beinhaltet, integriert oder die tragbare Baueinheit 20 verfügt über eine Schnittstelle, die mit einem externen Computer verbindbar ist.This can be easily realized by conventional computer technology. For this purpose, either a corresponding computer in the
Ergänzend zeigen die Figuren darüber hinaus, daß die einzelnen zu durchlaufenden Wegschleifen 4a-4e durchaus unterschiedlich sein können.In addition, the figures also show that the individual to be traversed
Während im Ausführungsbeispiel der
Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß
Die Variationsmöglichkeiten für die Erfindung sind nahezu unbegrenzt und deshalb können die gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiele keine Beschränkung der Erfindung darstellen.The variation possibilities for the invention are almost unlimited and therefore the embodiments shown can not constitute a limitation of the invention.
Da die Anlage grundsätzlich dafür geeignet ist, unabhängig vom jeweiligen Aufstellungsort die gemessenen Einzel- und Gesamtzeiten in Form von z.B. "Besten-Listen" zu führen, ergibt sich hieraus die Möglichkeit einer "internen Vernetzung" aller bestehenden Anlagen, um länderspezifische/bundesweite/weltweite "Besten-Listen" zu erstellen.Since the system is basically suitable for conducting the measured individual and total times in the form of eg "best lists", independent of the respective place of installation, this results in the possibility of an "internal networking" of all existing systems, by country-specific / nationwide / worldwide To create "best lists".
Diese "Besten-Listen" könnten beispielsweise über das Internet auf der Webside "speedflipper.com" angezeigt werden.These "best lists" could, for example, be displayed on the internet at the website "speedflipper.com".
Voraussetzung hierfür ist allerdings die Notwendigkeit, daß alle Anlagen an jedem Ort unter eindeutig reproduzierbaren Voraussetzungen betrieben werden.The prerequisite for this, however, is the necessity that all systems are operated at each location under clearly reproducible conditions.
Da zudem vorgesehen ist, die Anführer der "Besten-Listen" mit Siegprämien etc. zu promoten, besteht die Gefahr des Betruges. Dieser Gefahr kann allerdings dadurch entgegen gewirkt werden, daß die Einhaltung der Wettkampf-Bedingungen sichergestellt ist.Since it is also intended to promote the leaders of the "Best Lists" with winning prizes, etc., there is a risk of fraud. However, this danger can be counteracted by ensuring compliance with the competition conditions.
Hierzu wird vorgeschlagen, die Abstände der beiden Lichtschranken voneinander und ggf. auch des Start- und Zielpunkts sowie des Umkehrpunkts von den einzelnen Lichtschranken durch die Abstandsmeßvorrichtungen 34a-e zu überwachen.For this purpose, it is proposed to monitor the distances of the two light barriers from one another and possibly also the start and end point as well as the reversal point from the individual light barriers by the distance measuring devices 34a-e.
Dies kann bevorzugterweise elektronisch geschehen.This can preferably be done electronically.
Es müssen daher geometrische Größen bestimmt werden, z.B. Abstandsstrecken, die eindeutig sind, einfach überwachbar sind und bei Veränderung den Betrieb der Anlage ausschließen.Geometric quantities must therefore be determined, e.g. Clearances that are unique, easy to monitor and, if changed, prevent operation of the plant.
Dies kann z.B. über zusätzliche Abstandssensoren 34a-e bewerkstelligt werden, die mit der Zentraleinheit verbunden sind, um erst bei Einhaltung der Abstände den Betrieb der Anlage freizugeben.This can e.g. be accomplished via additional distance sensors 34a-e, which are connected to the central unit to release the operation of the system only when maintaining the distances.
Diese Abstände müssen - logischerweise - permanent oder nicht vorhersagbar stochastisch überwacht werden, um Manipulationen an der Anlage auszuschließen.These distances must - logically - permanently or unpredictably stochastically be monitored to prevent manipulation of the plant.
Sofern darüber hinaus die Anlage mit einem Gegenstand zum Aufheben am Umkehrpunkt betrieben wird, kommen insoweit auch Transponderanordnungen in Betracht, damit auch insoweit die Reproduzierbarkeit des Meßergebnisses sichergestellt ist.In addition, if the system is operated with an object to cancel at the reversal point, so far as well as transponder arrangements into consideration, so that the extent of the reproducibility of the measurement result is ensured.
Ferner kann für Wettkampfbedingungen vorgesehen sein, für alle im Wettkampf betriebenen Anlagen einen einheitlichen Bodenbelag vorzusehen.It may also be provided for competition conditions to provide a uniform floor covering for all the facilities operated in the competition.
