The light emitting unit 3 is provided with a sensor unit 10. In the embodiment, a detection sensor unit 10 is built in each light emitting unit 3. The detection sensor unit 10 may be provided in the vicinity of each light emitting unit 3.

  An operation panel 19 is provided on a part of the molding part 2 (in the embodiment, one lower part of the left and right molding parts 2).

  Furthermore, the molding part 2 is provided with a speaker 13. In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, speakers 13 are provided on the left and right molding portions 2 respectively.

  Although the control part 15 may be provided in the main body part 4, since the main body part 4 is disposed in the bathroom 8, it is preferable to dispose the control part 15 outside the bathroom 8 in consideration of waterproofing. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, it is disposed on the upper surface of the ceiling panel 20 of the bathroom 8.

  The control unit 15 is provided with a registration unit 5 in which a plurality of types of exercise menus having different light emission forms by the plurality of light emitting units 3 provided in the left and right molding units 2 are registered.

  The operation panel unit 19 is a selection unit 6 for selecting the plurality of light emitting units 3 to emit light based on the exercise menu selected by selecting any of the plurality of exercise menus registered in the registration unit 5. An operation button, a personal record selection button constituting the personal record selection means 21, and a display unit 22 such as a liquid crystal display are provided.

  Here, the plurality of types of exercise menus having different light emission forms by the plurality of light emitting units 3 include, for example, causing the plurality of light emitting units 3 to flash and emit light at different speeds or the plurality of light emitting units 3. In this case, the order of change of the emission color is changed by changing the emission color of the light, the speed of change of the emission color is different, or the emission color is changed when flashing. Control is performed such that the flashing light emission speed is different, the order of flashing of the plurality of light emitting units 3 is different, or the plurality of combination states are different. A plurality of exercise menus registered in advance in the registration unit 5 can be set to any exercise menu by operating the selection means 6 provided in the operation panel unit 19, and thus any exercise menu can be set. By selecting and setting, the plurality of light emitting units 3 emit light in a predetermined light emission form corresponding to the selected exercise menu.

  In this case, sounds such as music sounds, rhythm sounds, and shouts corresponding to each of the plurality of exercise menus are set, and the selection means 6 selects any exercise menu from the plurality of exercise menus and sets the arbitrary When the plurality of light emitting units 3 emit light corresponding to the exercise menu, music sounds, rhythm sounds, shouts, and the like corresponding to an arbitrary exercise menu set from the speaker 13 are output at the same time.

  Therefore, while standing in front of the mirror unit 1 in the bathroom 8 and watching the change in the light emission state of the plurality of light emitting units 3 and listening to the corresponding sound, various exercises to move the body in response to the light emission and sound. This can be done in the bathroom 8. In this case, since the light emitting part 3 is provided in the molding part 2 on both sides of the mirror part 1, the light emission arranged on both sides of the mirror part 1 while visually confirming the appearance of the person performing the exercise with the mirror part 1. The exercise can be performed by moving the body in accordance with the change in the light emission and the change in the sound of the unit 3.

  For example, when the personal record selection unit 21 is pressed once, the personal record selection unit 21 identifies the first individual. When exercise is performed in this state, the personal record selection unit 21 is identified as described below. Data is registered in the registration unit 5. When the personal record selection means 21 is pressed twice, the second individual is specified. When exercise is performed in this state, personal data as described later is registered in the registration unit 5 when the second is specified. It has come to be. Similarly, a plurality of individuals are specified, and the specified personal data as described later is registered in the registration unit 5. In this way, personal data of a plurality of persons (for example, five persons) determined in advance can be registered. When the personal record selection means 21 is pressed a predetermined number of times (for example, 6 times), the initial state is restored again.

  The detachable mounting member 14 that is detachably attached to the finger or wrist of the user 9 is as shown in FIG. 4, and the detected member 11 that is fitted to the finger of the user who performs the exercise, and the user 9 that performs the exercise. The load member 12 is detachably attached to the wrist of the user, and the detected member 11 and the load member 12 are connected by a cable.

  The detected member 11 has, for example, a ring shape and can be fitted to the finger of the user 9, and the user performs the exercise with the detected member 11 attached to the fingers of both hands. When the fist of the user 9 is alternately projected forward and the fist approaches a predetermined distance from the sensor unit 10, the detected member 11 attached to the finger is incorporated in the light emitting unit 3 or provided in the vicinity of the light emitting unit 3. 10 is detected, and the number of times of detection is counted by the control unit 15.

  In order for the sensor unit 10 to detect the detected member 11 when the fist of the user 9 is brought close to a predetermined distance, for example, the sensor unit 10 is a proximity switch and is made of a magnetic material such as iron. A proximity switch that is turned on when the detection member 11 approaches the predetermined distance sensor unit 10 and turned off when the detection member 11 leaves can be employed. Of course, other various methods can be adopted as long as the detected member 11 detects when the detected member 11 approaches the sensor unit 10 a predetermined distance.

  By the way, when the sensor unit 10 detects the detected member 11 and counts the number of times of detection by the control unit 15 as described above, the light emitting unit 3 blinks or the light emission color changes. If the fist is brought close to a predetermined distance toward the light emitting part 3 while the light is lit (or while a specific color is emitted if the light emission color changes) It is better to count. As a result, the flashing speed of the light emitting unit 3 (or the speed of change of the light emission color) differs according to the exercise menu, so it is necessary to change the speed of projecting the palm accordingly. The result of the exercise described above can be obtained as a score based on the number of detections and the number of detections.

  The count result is registered as personal data in the registration unit 5 and displayed on the display unit 22.

  For example, when the personal record selection means 21 is in the initial state, when the selection means 6 is operated to set an arbitrary exercise menu, the plurality of light emitting units 3 in a predetermined light emission form corresponding to the selected exercise menu. Therefore, when exercising to attach the detected member 11 to the finger and stand in front of the mirror unit 1 and take a fighting pose to project the fist to the light emitting unit 3 side in accordance with this light emission, The detected member 11 is detected by the sensor unit 10 built in the corresponding light emitting unit 3 from which the fist is protruded, and the detected number of times detected by the sensor unit 10 or the number of detected times is scored. 22 is displayed. In this case, even if the height of the user 9 is different and the height of the protruding fist is different, the sensor units 10 are built in the light emitting units 3 provided in the vertical direction or in the vicinity of the light emitting unit 3, respectively. Therefore, the member 11 to be detected can be reliably detected by the sensor unit 10.

  Next, when the selection unit 6 is operated to switch the setting of the exercise menu, the display of the display unit 22 is reset, and the plurality of light emitting units 3 emit light in a predetermined light emission form corresponding to the next exercise menu. In response to this light emission, when the fist with the detected member 11 mounted on the finger is pushed out toward the light emitting unit 3 as described above, the number of detections or the number of detections detected by the sensor unit 10 is scored. The display is newly displayed on the display unit 22.

  Further, when the personal record selection unit 21 is operated and, for example, the personal record selection unit 21 is pressed once to identify the first individual, the first first registered in the registration unit 5 is displayed on the display unit 22. Past data (for example, the number of previous detections or the number of detections scored) is displayed.

  Next, when the selection means 6 is operated to set an arbitrary exercise menu, a plurality of light emitting units 3 emit light in a predetermined light emission form corresponding to the selected exercise menu. When exercise is performed such that the fist with the detected member 11 attached to the finger is pushed out to the light emitting unit 3 side, the number of detections detected by the sensor unit 10 this time or the number of detection times is displayed. This is displayed on the part 22. Therefore, by comparing the past data with the current data, it can be determined whether or not the current exercise state has advanced compared to the past. The current data is registered in the registration unit 5.

  Similarly, by operating the personal record selection means 21, it is possible to display and register the exercise information of the Nth individual.

  If the user 9 who performs the exercise performs the exercise of attaching the load member 12 to the wrist and protruding the fist as necessary, the exercise is performed in a state where the wrist is loaded, so that more effective exercise can be performed. . Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, the load member 12 is configured by detachably attaching a load material 12b to a tightening band 12a that can be detachably attached to the wrist. The load material 12b having a different weight is selectively attached to the tightening band 12a so that the load can be increased or decreased. The load suitable for the user 9 is selected according to the physical strength of the user 9 and the wrist. Can be used for more effective exercise.

  In the above embodiment, the sound such as music sound, rhythm sound, and shout corresponding to an arbitrary exercise menu set by the speaker 13 is output, but only the light emitting units 3 are provided without the speaker 13. You may make it light-emit.

  As described above, the body part 4 having the mirror part 1 and the light emitting part 3 of the exercise mirror device 7 of the present invention is attached to the wall 16 of the bathroom 8, and the figure in which the person moves in the bathroom 8 in the mirror part 1. Since the exercise can be easily performed while watching, when the exercise is finished, the shower device 23 provided in the bathroom 8 can be used to take a shower and sweat.

  In the embodiment shown in the attached drawings, an example in which the operation panel 19 is provided in a part of the molding part 2 is shown. However, the operation panel 19 can be detached from the molding part 2 and removed from the molding part 2. In this state, the operation panel unit 19 may be operated.
