Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a jump rope counter device that has a pacemaker function and can selectively measure (or count) either the elapsed time of jumping rope or the number of jumps.

In recent years, as individuals have become increasingly interested in exercising for their health, jumping rope has also been attracting attention. When jumping rope, it is common to do it in intervals of time or number of times. Conventionally, when dividing the number of times, a mechanical counter was built in to simply count the number of times, and when dividing the time, a separate clock device with a timer function had to be used, which was extremely inconvenient. .

The present invention provides a two-way oscillator for pacemakers, in view of the fact that pacemakers are useful for determining timing at predetermined time intervals during rope-jumping exercise.

A sound generating section is integrated into the unit, and this oscillator and 9 frequency divider are used as a reference time signal to count and measure the elapsed time between the rope and the rope. It is also possible to measure the number of hits.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In this embodiment, depending on the contents of the counter, the user is notified by sound at every fixed time (or fixed number of times) while jumping rope, and at the scheduled end time (or the number of scheduled ends).

FIG. 1 is an external view of one embodiment. The rope □ consists of a rope and a gripco, and the counter device 3 of the present invention is incorporated into the gripco, for example, as shown in the figure. is a display section that displays the contents of the counter, which will be described later.
are input switches for various controls.

FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the bill counter device 3. There is a control section. Z is an oscillator, and the output is a divider♂
is input. Is this circuit from the frequency divider ♂? a, sounding body 2b
), and a sound is generated by the sounding body 2b. The sound generating unit 2 generates sound by combining arbitrary frequency signals of the minuter ♂.

10 is a sensor unit that detects when the rope jumps. This includes a sensor that directly detects the rotation of the rope, and a small magnetic reed switch that has magnetic poles N and S of a fixed magnet and a movable magnet facing each other as shown in Figure 3 (electrically, a magnetic reed switch installed on the 4 side). (detection) vibration sensors are used.

// is a counter/memory section, and the decision of the control section 4,
Depending on the setting, either the output from the frequency divider ♂ or the output from the sensor section 10 is counted.

In addition, the count value is compared with the memory input in advance, and if it is the same, a signal is sent to the control section B, and the control section 2 accordingly sends a signal from the frequency divider ♂ to the sound generation section 2, and outputs the sound. generate.

It is preferable that this sound be different from the sound for a pacemaker.

The counter is the display section described in FIG. 1, and displays the counter value as it is.

The memory stores values for detecting each fixed time and scheduled end time, or every fixed number of days and the number of scheduled ends. Therefore, when the time is selected on the control unit, along with the pacemaker sound, a sound is generated at regular intervals during the course and at the scheduled end time to notify the elapsed time and the end time. If the number of times is selected, along with the pacemaker sound, a sound is generated at every predetermined number of times in the middle and at the scheduled end time to notify the number of elapsed times and the number of ends.

In this way, this example is very useful because it has the advantage of being able to convey information through sound and knowing the information without having to stop jumping rope.

As described above, the present invention has a function as a pacemaker, uses a pacemaker oscillator 1 branch unit to measure the elapsed time of jump rope with a counter, and also measures the number of jump ropes by switching this counter. A jump rope counter device with a simple configuration and high practical value can be provided without separately providing a pacemaker, a clock function, and a one-time counting function. Furthermore, if the content of the counter is used to notify the user of the scheduled end time or number of scheduled end times with a sound, depending on the contents of the counter, the user can receive this information without having to stop jumping rope. Useful. Furthermore, these sounds are also used for pacemakers, so the structure does not become complicated.
