Description

Description [0001] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a baseball batting practice device.

 [0002] [Prior Art] In the past, the batter could not recognize the speed of the ball and could not practice batting.

 [0003] [Problems to be solved by the invention] This has the following drawbacks.

 In order for the batter to recognize the speed of the ball and not be able to practice hitting, make the body remember how far the bat should be before the hitting position of the batter to hit the ball, depending on the speed of the ball. I couldn't do it.

 [Means for Solving the Problem] The distance between the light emitters 1 is defined, and the time for the ball to pass between the light emitters 1 is set by the timer 4. When the drive unit 5 is actuated by the signal from the set time of the timer 4 for setting the speed of the ball and the light-emitting body 1 which is currently turned on goes out, the light-emitting body 1 in the next stage is turned on and the lighting position A plurality of light emitters 1 that sequentially move and a sound emitter 2 that emits a sound at the same time that the last light emitter 1 lights up are provided. A changeover switch is provided to select the time setting of timer 4.

 The above is a baseball batting practice device.

 [Operation] The drive unit 5 is activated by the signal from the timer 4, and the light emitter 1 and the sounding body 2 are activated.

 [0006] [Example] Example 1 Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described.

 FIG. 6 is a block diagram of an electric circuit.

 First, the drive unit 5 is actuated by the start signal of the start-up timer 3, and the first relay 6 turns on the first light emitter 1 and simultaneously starts the first timer 4.

 When the set time of the first timer 4 has elapsed, the second drive unit 5 is activated, the second relay 6 turns off the first light emitter 1 and turns on the second light emitter 1, and the second light emitter 1 turns on. Timer 4 starts. When the set time of the second timer 4 has elapsed, the third drive unit 5 is activated, the third relay 6 turns off the second light emitter 1, turns on the third light emitter 1, and turns on the third light emitter. Timer 4 starts. This operation is performed in sequence.

 At the same time as the last luminous body 1 lights up, the sounding body 2 emits a sound. When the set time elapses by the timer 4 in the next stage, the last light emission of the light emitter 1 and the sound of the sound generator 2 stop. Since the start-up timer 3 repeatedly operates at regular intervals, it can be repeatedly operated.

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the first embodiment.

 As a place to install this, the light emitting body 1 housed in the housing A7 is installed at the pitcher's position. Next, the pillar 9 is placed at a distance of 2 meters from the home base 8.

 The pillars 9 are installed up to a position 18 meters from the home base 8 with a distance of 2 meters between the pillars 9. The light emitter 1 is mounted on the column 9. The height of the luminous body 1 is on the trajectory of the ball.

 In addition, a housing B10 accommodating one light emitter 1 and one sounding body 2 is installed on the home base 8. The batting practice device body 11, the light emitter 1 and the sounding body 2 are connected by a cable 12. The time setting of the light emitter 1 on the column 9, the light emitter 1 at the position on the home base 8 and the sound generator 2 is adjusted by adjusting the capacitors so as to correspond to the speed of the ball. The display color of the light emitter 1 is a plurality of colors such as red and blue.

 When using this, turn on the power switch 13 and select the desired ball speed with the changeover switch A14. The set time is the time from the start of the pitching action of the pitcher until the ball passes the home base 8. For the movement from the start of the pitching action of the pitcher to the release of the ball from the hand, the lighting time of the plurality of light emitters 1 of the housing A7 can be adjusted by switching the plurality of changeover switches B15. When the ball passes over the home base 8, the light emitting body 1 and the sound emitting body 2 of the housing B10 on the home base 8 light up and emit a sound. When the bat 16 shaken by the batter passes on the home base 8 at the moment when the sound is emitted, it corresponds to the bat 16 hitting the ball. When the ball is hit, it is confirmed which color of the luminous body 1 on the column 9 is turned on and the bat 16 is swung out. At this time, if the second blue light emitter 1 from the front is turned on, the distance from the home base 8 is 4 meters.

 If the ball speed at this time is selected to 130 Km / h, it can be recognized that if the bat 16 is started to swing from 4 meters before 130 Km / h, the ball will be hit. In this way, it is possible to practice by recognizing how many meters from the batter's position to start swinging the bat 16 according to the ball speed.

 In this way, the state from the start of the pitcher's pitching motion to the passing of the ball on the home base 8 can be reproduced with light and sound, and several types of ball speeds can be selected, so that the pitcher's throwing speed is high. You can practice striking by visually recognizing the movement of the light source.

 Example 2 FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing Example 2.

 Example 2 is similar to Example 1 except that when used under strong light in the daytime, the luminous body 1 is covered with a cover 17 to form a shade, so that the lighting of the luminous body 1 can be visually confirmed. It becomes possible to practice hitting.

 [0008] Third Embodiment FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a third embodiment.

 The third embodiment is for use indoors, in which the pillars 9 are narrowed and the light emitting body 1 is installed. Further, since the home base 8 is not used, the housing B10 is placed at the feet.

 Although the interval between the light emitters 1 is shorter than that in the first embodiment, the light source moving time is the same as that in the first embodiment because the lighting time intervals between the light emitters 1 are the same. .

 The method of use is the same as in Example 1.

 Example 4 Example 4 is also for indoor use, in which the light emitter 1 on the column 9 is attached to the rod 19.

 The method of use is the same as in Example 3.

 [0010] Example 5 Example 5 is for use indoors, the light-emitting body 1 of the housing A7 and the light-emitting body 1 on the pillar 9, the light-emitting body 1 on the home base 8, the sounding body 2 Store it together in the housing C18. The batting practice device body 11, the light emitter 1 and the sounding body 2 are connected by a cable 12. The housing C18 is installed at eye level.

 When using this, turn on the power switch 13 and select the desired ball speed with the changeover switch A14. Also, the changeover switch B15 is used to adjust the pitcher's rhythm. The lighting position of the light emitting body 1 of the housing C18 moves, and the last light emitting body 1 emits a sound at the same time as the lighting. First, when the bat 16 is shaken, and when it is thought that the timing of the bat 16 is right at the moment when the sound is emitted, the color of the light-emitting body 1 at which the bat 16 is started to be turned on is checked. The position of the penultimate light emitter 1 corresponds to 2 meters from the top of the home base 8, so if the bat 16 is swung when the third blue phosphor 1 lights up, the position of 4 meters It can be confirmed that the ball can be hit by starting to swing the bat 16.

 [0011] [Effect of device] When the pitcher feels that the bat 16 hits the ball at the moment when the sound is emitted, the time it takes for the ball to pass the home base 8 from the start of the pitching motion is reproduced with light and sound. In the baseball game of, it corresponds to the timing when the bat 16 can hit the ball. Since you can select several ball speeds, you can practice at a speed that suits you, and you can practice repeatedly by recognizing the ball speed, which improves the effect of practice. Then, by adopting a plurality of colors such as red and blue as the display color of the light emitter 1, it becomes easy to confirm the position of the light source. In addition, the rhythm and ball speed of the opponent's pitcher can be set and reproduced, and repeated training can be performed, so there is less confusion in the actual game. Also, by shooting with a video camera, the hitting position of the bat can be confirmed by light and sound, which can be used as a material for scientific training when teaching.
