The fixing block 410 is mounted on the upper surface of the uppermost one of the weight plates 300. The elevating rod 400 is integrally fixed to a lower surface of the fixing block 410, As described above, the weight plates 300 are vertically inserted and held in a fitted state.

A wire 420 is installed at the center of the upper surface of the fixed block 410 so as to lift the weight plate 300 through a pulley when a user grips a handle (not shown) And guide rods 430 are provided on both sides of the wire 420 so that the weight plates 300 including the fixing block 410 can be smoothly moved from the fixed position So that it can be lowered.

Such a configuration is a basic configuration included in a conventional weight training machine.

The present invention further includes a vertical frame 600 in addition to this basic configuration.

The vertical frame 600 is provided to detect the position of the fixing pin 500. For this purpose, the fixing pin 500 protrudes forward of the weight plate 300, (Not shown).

A light emitting sensor 610 is installed on one side of the vertical frame 600 and a light receiving sensor 620 is provided on the other side of the vertical frame 600. These photo sensors are provided in the number of the fin holes 310, Position with respect to each other.

When the fixing pin 500 is inserted into one of the pin holes 310, a plurality of signals are received from the light emitting sensors 610 and 620. The portion of the pin hole 310 in which the fixing pin 500 is inserted is fixed Since the light emitted by the pin 500 is not received, the control unit C can immediately detect the position of the point where the signal is not received, and the number of the spot is ascertained from the top, You will know.

At this time, the control unit C is a microprocessor, which is a kind of CPU having functions of storing, updating, and calculating information.

In addition, the fixing pin 500 may be formed to be long enough to be exposed through the weight plate 300. In this case, the vertical frame 600 may be formed to detect the through- May be disposed so as to protrude rearward of the weight plate 300.

In other words, the vertical frame 600 may include a first type that is disposed so as to protrude forward of the weight plate 300 to detect the tip of the fixing pin 500, A second shape that is disposed to protrude rearward of the weight plate 300, a third shape in which the first shape and the second shape are formed together, and the like.

The display D may be further connected to the controller C. The display D may be installed at a position where the user can see the most comfortable state when the user is exercising. do.

In addition, an input unit I may be further connected to the control unit C, and the input unit I may be a keypad for a user interface, and more preferably a user recognition unit using an RFID .

In addition, the control unit C may include a memory as a storage space itself, but a database server (DB) may be further connected for systematic and large-capacity information management.

In addition, the user may measure the amount of exercise based on the information obtained through the acceleration sensor 700 described later, and then install and use the app to be directly transmitted to the user's PC or smartphone if necessary. A wireless communication unit (not shown) may be further provided in the exercise device of the present invention so that the user can directly transmit corresponding information.

An acceleration sensor 700 is installed on the uppermost surface of the weight plate 300 and the acceleration sensor 700 is connected to the control unit C. [

The acceleration sensor 700 is a sensor means for sensing the height of the weight plate, the number of motions, and the speed of motion. Since the distance (position), the physical quantities of the speed and acceleration are in a non-integral relationship with respect to time, Knowing one piece of information, you can compute different pieces of information.

For example, if the velocity is differentiated by time, it becomes acceleration. When the acceleration is integrated with respect to time, it becomes a velocity.

Therefore, it is possible to obtain the velocity by knowing the initial velocity, then continuously measuring the acceleration, and integrating the acceleration with respect to time, and the position can be known by integrating the velocity.

That is, the initial position where the weight plate 300 is fixed in the state where the exercise device is not moved becomes the integral constant, and when the acceleration is continuously measured, the change of the speed is continuously known, and the weight plate 300 is integrated So that the user can know the location where the user is located.

Particularly, the acceleration sensor 700 can detect the recoil generated when the weight plate 300 rises and collides with the lower weight plate while descending, thereby enabling more accurate sensing. Further, in the example of FIG. 4 Likewise, when the stopper ST climbs up, it can be configured to sense the accurate motion of the moving part by sensing the acceleration shock at the moment of collision with the stopper ST.

Further, when the uppermost portion of the weight plate 300 is lifted up to a predetermined height by setting a certain height and a constant speed from the weight plate 300, and when the weight plate is lifted and lowered at a correct speed, And adds the number of times.

Accordingly, the user's identity is confirmed by the input unit I, or more precisely, the ID card such as the magnetic card commonly used through the user recognition unit, and the control unit C controls the amount of the user's exercise, ), A separate management server can be further connected and configured to be systematically managed.

In this case, it is possible to easily manage the user by registering in the DB through the management server. For example, information necessary for management such as weight, height, body fat, muscle mass, .

In addition, the user can input the amount of exercise appropriate for him / her, that is, the content of the exercise prescription, through the input unit I, and if the exercise is performed in that state, the user can perform the muscle exercise most suitable for him / her. (C), it is possible to induce a warning sound or a user to recognize immediately, thereby correcting an erroneous motion pattern.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the monitoring system according to the present invention displays on the display D the amount of exercise and the state of exercise according to the exercise prescription on the display D, and displays whether the exercise is in accordance with the exercise prescription, So that accurate and reliable exercise can be achieved.

3, the exercise speed indicator 800 may include a plurality of induction lamps 810 and a plurality of exercise lamps 820. The induction lamps 810 may include a plurality of induction lamps 810, ), And they are installed in parallel corresponding to each other in the same number.

At this time, the induction lamp 810 displays an input value, that is, a motion speed per minute according to the exercise prescription, and the exercise lamp 820 displays a motion value that is a motion speed of the actual user calculated by the above-described configurations.

Here, the reason why the induction lamp 810 is necessary is that, in the case of ordinary exercise regimen, the prescription is made in the form of several sets of several kilograms as in the example of FIG. 2, for example, When a prescription is made to perform three sets of exercises, the user is not aware of his or her own speed of motion, so that he or she is exercising at random.

For example, if a healthy person is prescribed 10 times a minute, 10 times in 30 seconds, and in the case of an elderly person, 10 times in 2 minutes. In this case, And the prescription can not be realized.

Accordingly, in the present invention, when the prescription speed is determined, the controller C automatically calculates and turns on the induction lamp 810 according to the prescription speed, and when the user watches the exercise, the motion value If the speed of the self-moving lamp 820 is matched with the speed of the induction lamp 810, the speed of the self-moving lamp 820 is matched with that of the driving lamp 820 It is easy to use because it automatically exercises according to the precise prescription, and it is possible to maintain an accurate motion naturally.

As described above, the present invention has the effect of accurately maintaining the exercise according to the exercise prescription, and thereby inducing the healing effect as well as the generation of the muscle in the required part accurately.

The working relationship of the present invention having such a configuration is as follows.

First, when the controller C recognizes the user, the user's information is displayed on the display D.

At this time, the display contents indicate the number of weights, the number of times, and the number of sets, and the user exercises accordingly.

The display contents are merely illustrative and may be changed by setting the display format as much as possible. It is preferable that the display information is set based on information stored in the DB of the management server. It is possible to load and display the corresponding user information in the DB.

When the user inserts the fixing pin 500 into the pin hole 310 to cut off the light, the light emitting sensors 610 and 620 detect the light and display the weight set by the user on the monitor, and the acceleration sensor 700 receives (Or acceleration) of the user and the position of the weight plate 300 at the time of motion are analyzed through the controller C and compared with the reference value of the intrinsic motion stored in the memory, It is determined whether the value is within the allowable range.

At this time, the speed at which the user lifts and drops the weight plate 300 can be confirmed through the display D.

In other words, on the display D, an input value, which is a speed to be kept by the user, is displayed. Also, a motion value, which is a speed at which the user is currently moving, is displayed together. When the user views the display D, Can be confirmed.

If it is within the permissible range, it is recognized as an intrinsic motion and added by 1. Otherwise, if it is outside the permissible range, it is recognized as a foul action and the number of times of display is maintained.

Then, the display content is changed, and the user can exercise the exercise exactly as prescribed by matching the exercise value to the input value.

In addition, the system according to the present invention can also be implemented in the form as shown in FIG.

4, a stopper ST may be provided at a part of the length of the guide rod 430 so that the elderly person or the like may restrict excessive movement during exercise.

At this time, it is preferable that the stopper ST is configured to be able to be freely changed in position by being configured to be able to be tightened and loosened by the stopper tightening handle HL.

In this case, the stopper tightening handle HL may be a clamp having a known structure.

Further, as shown in the drawing, if the height at which the position of the fixing pin 500 can be sensed is extended to the height of the weight plate 300, more accurate measurement is possible.

For this, the vertical frame 600 may be easily extended by extending the vertical frame 600 as shown in the figure and installing a number of light emitting sensors 610 and 620 to be sensed.
