Description

An Interactive Boxing Trainer
Technical Field
This invention is related to an interactive boxing trainer, and, more particularly, to a trainer capable of reporting the strength and direction of the punch.
Background
The boxing training nowadays is usually taking place in a specific field and with one or more fixed sandbags. The trainee could hardly perceive whether the angle and/or the strength of his punch meets the training goal. Further, the conventional sensors need to be disposed near the surface of the sandbag. If the trainee fails to precisely hit the specified position, the sensed punch strength by the sensor would be inaccurate. Accordingly, there must be several sensors setup at different positions of the sandbag and the cost of installation and maintenance increases.
Summary
In this invention, the speed and position of the boxing head of the trainer s calculated so that the direction and the strength of the punch force onto the boxing head is accordingly accurately obtained and displayed Further, the cost of installation and/or maintenance is reduced.
In one embodiment of this invention, the interactive boxing trainer has a boxing object and a trainer. The boxing object has a base stand, a swing rod, and a boxing head. The swing rod has an elastic portion connected to and between a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion is connected to the base stand. The boxing head is coupled to the second connecting portion of the swing rod and swingable when being hit. The trainer has a detector and a simulator. The detector is located in the boxing head and having a first microprocessor, an accelerometer, and a wireless transmitter. The first microprocessor is electrically connected to the accelerometer and the wireless transmitter, respectively. The simulator has a second microprocessor, a wireless receiver, an arithmetic logic unit, and a display. The second microprocessor is electrically connected to the wireless receiver, the arithmetic logic unit, and the display, respectively. The accelerometer is capable of detecting an acceleration of the boxing head and generating a piece of sensing signal, and the sensing signal is sent by the wireless transmitter and received by the wireless receiver. The arithmetic logic unit is configured to calculate a strength and a direction of a force applied onto the boxing head according to the sensing signal and the display is configured to display information of the direction and the force.
Brief Description of the Drawings
A more detailed understanding may be had from the following description, given by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein: FIG. l is a 3-D structural diagram of the interactive boxing trainer in one embodiment of this invention; FIG. 2 is a sideview diagram of the interactive boxing trainer in one embodiment of this invention; FIG. 3 is an explosive diagram of the interactive boxing trainer in one embodiment of this invention; FIG. 4 is illustrating the operation of the interactive boxing trainer in one embodiment of this invention; and FIG. 5 is the block diagram of the trainer of the interactive boxing trainer in one embodiment of this invention.
Detailed Description
As to the exemplary embodiment of this invention, please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5. As shown in these figures, the interactive boxing trainer in this invention includes a boxing object 1 and a trainer 2. The boxing object 1 has a base stand 11, a swing rod 12, a supporting rod assembly 13, and a boxing head 14.
The base stand 11 has a base housing 111 and a plurality of suckers 112 underneath and connected to the base housing 111. The base housing 111 has a cavity therein and a water inlet cover 113 as well as a socket 114 thereon. The water inlet cover 113 could be removed by a user so that weighting fluid could be injected into or removed from the cavity of the base housing 111. The socket 114 is capable of containing the first connecting portion 121 of the swing rod 12 so as to fix the swing rod 12. The swing rod 12 also has a second connecting portion 122 and an elastic portion 123 between the first connecting portion 121 and the second connecting portion 122.
The supporting rod assembly 13 has a first supporting rod 131 and a second supporting rod 133. A first end of the first supporting rod 131 is connected to the second connecting portion 122 of the swing rod 12 while the second supporting rod 133 is inserted into the first supporting rod 131 along the axial direction. The first supporting rod 131 has a plurality of positioning holes 132 thereon, and those positioning holes 132 are separated from one another with a predetermined distance so that the length of the supporting rod assembly 13 could be adjusted by selectively setting the positioning protrusion 134 to one of the positioning holes 132.
The boxing head 14 has a ball 141 and an indicator 142 connected to one side of the ball 141. The indicator 142 has a main body 143, an indicating lamp 144 disposed on the main body 143, and a switch 145. The main body 143 is connected to the second supporting rod 133 of the supporting rod assembly 13.
The trainer 2, which is shown in FIG. 5, has a detector 21 and a simulator 22.
The detector 21 is located inside the main body 143 and having a first microprocessor 211 which is electrically connected to an accelerometer 212 and a wireless transmitter 213, respectively. The simulator 22 has a second microprocessor 221 which is electrically connected to a wireless receiver 222, an arithmetic logic unit (ALU) 223, and a display 224, respectively.
In one embodiment, when the trainee is going to use the boxing trainer in this invention, the boxing object 1 is fixed on the ground by the suckers 112, and the water inlet cover 113 is removed so as to inject weighting fluid such as water into the base stand 11. Further, the height of the boxing head 14 is adjusted by moving the second supporting rod 133 so as to allow the positioning protrusion 134 to match the specified positioning hole 132.
When the trainee hit the ball 141, the boxing head 14 swings around the elastic portion 123. The accelerometer 212 of the detector 21 is capable of sensing the acceleration of the boxing head 14 and generating pieces of the sensing signal. The sensing signal is sent by the wireless transmitter 213 and received by the wireless receiver 222 of the simulator 22. The ALU 223 is capable of obtaining the position and velocity of the boxing head 14 based on the current sensing signal and at least one historic sensing signal Based on the calculated information, the mass of the boxing head, and the preset parameters of the elastic portion 123, the strength and the angle of the punch force onto the boxing head 14 is then calculated and displayed on the display 224. Therefore, the trainee is capable of perceiving whether the punch meets the requirements of the training course. Further, no matter whether the sensor precisely hit or not, the strength is accurately estimated.
In one embodiment, when the switch 145 is turned on, the indicating lamps 144 are capable of indicating the direction of the punch onto the boxing head 14. In some embodiments, the indicating lamps 144 and the switch 145 are removed. Embodiments Although features and elements are described above in particular combinations, one of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that each feature or element can be used alone or in any combination with the other features and elements. In addition, the methods described herein may be implemented in a computer program, software, or firmware incorporated in a computer-readable medium for execution by a computer or processor.
