FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing the internal structure of the transmitter 6. The reed switch 13 shown in the figure is normally open and is turned on when the magnet 4 passes through the inside of the transmitter 6 as the front wheel 2 rotates.

And resistor 17 are connected in series, and reed switch 1
Signal b obtained by patterning the reed switch signal a from 3
Converted into NPN type transistor 1 via resistor 18
9 to the base terminal. A capacitor 20 is connected between the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor 19, the collector terminal is connected to one end of the electromagnetic induction coil 21, and the emitter terminal is connected to the EXTx circuit 14. The voltage Vcc is applied to the other end of the electromagnetic induction coil 21 and one end of the capacitor 22 via the resistor 23, and the other end of the capacitor 22 is connected to the emitter terminal of the transistor 19.

FIG. 4 is a block circuit diagram showing the configuration of the receiver 7. In the figure, the electromagnetic induction by the electromagnetic induction coil 21 of the transmitter 6 is the electromagnetic induction coil 26 which is connected in parallel to the EXRx circuit 24 together with the capacitor 25.
The frequency is selected and received by the EXRx circuit 24, pulse-encoded by the EXRx circuit 24 and sent to the microcomputer 27. The microcomputer 27 has a work RAM and a program ROM (not shown), and controls the entire receiver 7 by signals from the EXRx circuit 24 and signals from the keys 9 to 12, and the LCD display section 8 as well.
Display control and sound emission control of the sound emission device 28. Also,
In the work RAM 27A of the microcomputer 24, as shown in FIG. 5, an area for storing the tire size, set distance, set speed, and set time, the measurement buffer A. B, C, a distance buffer and a velocity buffer, and an area for counting the number of times of measurement are provided.

Next, regarding the operation of this embodiment having the above configuration, the timing chart shown in FIG. 6 and FIG.
A description will be given according to the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, when the front wheel 2 rotates and the magnet 4 passes inside the transmitter 6, the reed switch 1 provided in the transmitter 6
3 is turned on, and the reed switch signal a is generated as shown in FIG. Then, the oscillation circuit 15 outputs a Tr switching b signal which is a pulse signal of a predetermined cycle,
The transistor 19 is repeatedly turned on and off for a very short time. As a result, the resonance pulse c is output from the electromagnetic induction coil 21 of the transmitter 6 in a short time immediately after the magnet 4 has passed.

Then, the electromagnetic induction coil 21 on the transmitter 6 side
When the resonance pulse c is output from the electromagnetic resonance coil c, the electromagnetic induction coil 26 on the receiver 7 side generates the reception signal d by the electromagnetic induction action and inputs the reception signal d to the EXRx circuit 24. The EXRx circuit 24
Generates a comparator output corresponding to a level equal to or higher than the threshold value Vth of the reception signal d by a built-in comparator, and further generates a pulse reception signal e having a high level during the output of the comparator output. Therefore, as shown in the lowermost part of FIG. 6, the pulse reception signal e is generated at the timing when the front wheel 2 makes one rotation and the magnet 4 passes inside the transmitter 6, that is, every time the front wheel 2 makes one rotation. 27, and the microcomputer 27 measures the interval of the pulse reception signal e.

The microcomputer 27 operates according to the flow chart shown in FIG. 7 every time the pulse reception signal e is input, and first counts up the number of times of measurement (SA1). In addition, in the main routine (not shown), this counting of the number of times of measurement is performed by operating the set distance input key 9, the set speed input key 10 and the set time input key 11 by the user of the bicycle 1 to set a desired set distance and set speed. , It is reset when the set time is entered. Therefore, the count of the number of times of measurement is 0 when the desired set distance or the like is input, and the front wheel 2 is 1
Every time it rotates, it counts up by one.

Then, in the subsequent SA2, it is judged whether or not the measurement number count is 1, and when the measurement number count is 1, when the front wheel 2 makes one rotation for the first time after inputting the set distance and the like. Is. In this case, the front wheel 2 is 1
While starting a measurement count for measuring the time required for rotation (SA16), a start sound is emitted to notify the user that the measurement will be started from now.
8 (SA17). If the count of the number of times of measurement is not 1, that is, 2 or more, the value of the measurement buffer A is stored in the measurement buffer B (SA
3).

Here, the measurement buffer A is a buffer in which the measurement count started in SA16 is read and the value is stored, as shown in the next SA4. Therefore, at SA3, the count value at the time when the previous magnet 4 stored in the measurement buffer A at this point passes inside the transmitter 6 is stored in the measurement buffer B.
Next, at SA4, the measurement count, which is the count value when the magnet 4 has passed the inside of the transmitter 6 this time, is read and stored in the measurement buffer A. Therefore, SA3 and SA4
By the processing of 1, the value of the measurement count up to the previous time is updated and stored in the measurement buffer B, and the value of the measurement count up to this time is updated and stored in the measurement buffer A.

Subsequently, the difference between the count value up to the time when the magnet 4 passed last time and the count value up to the time when the magnet 4 passed this time, that is, the time value required for the front wheel 2 to make one revolution (measurement buffer B-measurement buffer A) is stored in the measurement buffer C (SA5). Next, 2 × π × tire size / measurement buffer C is stored in the speed buffer (SA6). Here, the tire size is the diameter of the front wheel 2 of the bicycle 1, which is input by operating the other keys 12 in advance,
Therefore, 2 × π × tire size is the circumference of the front wheel 2.
Further, since the time value for one rotation of the front wheel is stored in the measurement buffer C as described above, by dividing the circumference of the front wheel 2 by the time value for one rotation of the front wheel 2. , The current speed of the bicycle 1 can be obtained. Therefore, the current speed of the bicycle is constantly updated and stored in the speed buffer C by the processing of SA6.

Further, 2 × π × tire size × (measurement count-1) is stored in the distance buffer (SA7).
Here, 2 × π × tire size is the circumference of the front wheel 2 as described above, and the count of the number of times of measurement is counted up every time the magnet 4 passes inside the transmitter 6 to determine the rotation speed of the front wheel 2. It is the measured value. However, when the measured rotation count is 1 in SA2, the process proceeds from SA2 to SA15, and therefore, the processes after SA3 are executed when the front wheel is 2
Since the time of rotation, the number of times of processing after SA3 is one less than the number of times of measurement. Therefore, by subtracting 1 from the number of times of measurement and multiplying the circumference by (count of number of times-1), the running distance from the time when the processing after SA3 is started to the present time is obtained, and this running distance is stored in the distance buffer. To store.

Next, it is judged whether or not there is a distance data set, that is, whether or not the set value input by the user of the bicycle 1 is the set distance (SA8). And
If it is the set distance, it is determined whether or not the traveling distance stored in the distance buffer is equal to or greater than the distance data indicating the set distance (SA9). Proceed to SA13.

Further, when the set distance is not input and when distance data ≦ distance buffer is not satisfied,
It is determined whether or not there is a speed data set, that is, whether or not the set value input by the user of the bicycle 1 is the set speed (SA10). If it is the speed distance, it is determined whether or not the current speed stored in the speed buffer is equal to or greater than the distance data indicating the set speed (SA11), and if speed data ≦ speed buffer To proceed to SA13.

When the determination of SA8 and SA10 is NO and the set value is neither the set distance nor the set speed, it means that the set time is input. Therefore, in this case and when the determination in SA11 is NO, it is determined whether or not the time up to the current time stored in the measurement buffer A is equal to or longer than the time data indicating the set time (SA12), If time data ≦ time buffer, the process proceeds to SA13.

Then, in this SA13, the above-mentioned SA1
The measurement count started at 6 is turned off to stop the measurement, the data display process (SA14) is continuously performed, and the stop sound is generated from the sound emitting device 28 (SA15). Therefore, the stop sound allows the user to know that the preset distance, speed, or time has been reached.

On the other hand, the data display processing of SA14 is shown in FIG.
It is determined whether or not the type of the set value input by the user operating the keys 9, 10 and 11 in advance according to the flow chart shown in (4) is the set distance (SB1). If the distance is the set distance, LC
The D display unit 8 is driven to display the value of the measurement buffer A and the value of the speed buffer (SB2). Therefore, the LCD display unit 8 displays the time required to reach the set distance stored in the measurement buffer A and the speed when the set distance stored in the speed buffer is reached. It

Therefore, when the set distance input key 9 is operated in advance to input the set distance, the SA of FIG.
The stop sound generated by 15 not only notifies that the vehicle has traveled the distance, but also visually checks the LCD display 8 to determine the time required to travel the distance and the speed when the distance is reached. You can know.
Therefore, for example, if a long set distance is input, the presence or absence of endurance can be determined based on the displayed time, and if a short distance of about 200 m is set, 200 m can be set.
It is possible to determine how much speed can be generated when performing a dash.

If the determination in SB1 is NO and the set distance is not reached, it is further determined whether or not the set speed has been reached (SB3). When the speed is the set speed, the LCD display unit 8 is driven to display the value of the measurement buffer A and the value of the fast distance buffer (SB4). Therefore,
The LCD display unit 8 displays the time required to reach the set speed stored in the measurement buffer A and the distance traveled until the set speed stored in the distance buffer is reached. It

Therefore, when the set speed input key 10 is operated to input the set distance in advance, not only the stop sound generated by SA15 of FIG. By visually observing the display unit 8, it is possible to know the time required to reach the speed and the distance traveled until the speed is reached. Therefore, it is possible to determine the presence / absence of the instantaneous force based on the length and the length of the distance from the start dash to reach the target set speed.

If the determinations of SB1 and SB3 are both NO, it means that the set time input key 11 has been operated in advance to input the set time. In this case, LC
The D display unit 8 is driven to display the value of the distance buffer and the value of the speed buffer (SB2). Therefore, the LCD display unit 8 displays the distance traveled until the set time stored in the distance buffer and the speed at the time the set distance stored in the speed buffer are reached. .

Therefore, when the set time input key 10 is operated in advance to input the set time, the stop sound generated by SA15 in FIG. By visually observing the display unit 8, it is possible to know the distance traveled until reaching the time and the speed at which the time is reached.
Therefore, for example, if you input a long set time, you can judge the amount of exercise by the displayed distance, and if you set a short time of about several seconds, when you do a start dash, within a predetermined time It is possible to determine what speed has an instantaneous force capable of generating.

In each embodiment, data such as distance, speed, time, etc. corresponding to the set value is displayed on the LCD display section, but other notifying means such as voice may be used. It may be stored without being displayed and may be printed out by connecting a separate printer after getting off the vehicle.

[0028]

As described above, according to the present invention, when the set distance is input, the set speed is input as the time required to move the distance or the speed at the time of moving the distance. In the case of an object, the time or distance required to reach the speed is notified, and in the case of a set time being input, the distance moved at the time or the speed when the time is reached is notified. Therefore, not only the set distance, speed, and whether or not the time target value has been reached, other information related to reaching the target value is notified, so that not only the set target value is achieved but also the target value It is possible to perform related evaluations such as the progress of achievement.
