Before describing the present invention, the following specific structural or functional descriptions are merely illustrative for the purpose of describing an embodiment according to the concept of the present invention, and embodiments according to the concept of the present invention may be embodied in various forms, And should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein.

In addition, since the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention can make various changes and have various forms, specific embodiments are illustrated in the drawings and described in detail herein. However, it should be understood that the embodiments according to the concept of the present invention are not intended to limit the present invention to specific modes of operation, but include all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention.

The monitoring system for a weight training machine according to the present invention may have various models. For example, the appearance of a fitness device may vary depending on the exercise site.

However, the basic concept described below is applied as it is, and the model of the exercise apparatus shown is merely an example for explanation.

The monitoring system according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a stationary base 100, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2.

The fixed base 100 is a plate-shaped member and is provided on the ground or the floor surface.

At this time, it is preferable that the fixing base 100 accurately maintains the horizontal state, which is a basic condition required for accurately measuring the momentum.

The fixed frame 200 for fixing the fixed base 100 may have a structure in which upper and lower ends are connected to each other in a state where a pair of vertical members are erected at intervals, It may be configured as a monolithic frame as in the example.

In addition, the fixing base 100 is firmly fixed to the upper surface of the lower end of the fixed frame 200.

In addition, the fixed frame 200 is a means for supporting and fixing the system of the present invention, that is, the exercising apparatus so that it is not conducted.

In addition, a fixing table 210 is integrally fixed to the upper end of the fixed frame 200 across the width direction.

The fixing table 210 is preferably a plate-shaped member, and is a means for fixing the height measuring table 300 and the pair of auxiliary guides 310a and 310b vertically in the height direction.

In this case, the height measuring unit 300 is a member in which a sensing unit 302 (see FIG. 5) configured to repeatedly alternate between white and black at a very small interval on one side, and an upper end is fixed firmly to the fixing table 210 And the lower end thereof is firmly fixed through the side fixing table 220 fixed to the fixed frame 200 vertically.

The sensing unit 302 of the height measuring unit 300 is disposed to face the weight plate 400.

In addition, a pair of auxiliary guides 310a and 310b are provided symmetrically on both sides of the height measuring table 300, respectively.

The upper ends of the auxiliary guides 310a and 310b are fixed to the fixing table 210 and the lower ends are fixed to the upper surface of the fixing base 100. [

In this case, the auxiliary guides 310a and 310b are provided at the center of the front and rear of the fixing base 100, and in particular, the auxiliary guide 310a and 310b, So that the weight plate 400 raised and lowered is not interfered with the height measurement table 300.

Here, the weight plate 400 is provided in a form of a plurality of weight plates, preferably 5 kg, and the uppermost weight plates constitute a base plate 410.

The base plate 410 has a binding band 412 extending downward through the center of the upper face of the base plate 410 so that the binding band 412 can move integrally with the base plate 410 .

In particular, a wire 414 is coupled to the upper end of the binding band 412, and the wire 414 is connected to a motion member (not shown) via a plurality of pulleys 416, that is, Lt; / RTI >

A stretching member 418 is coupled to a part of the binding band 412 and a fixing pin 420 is fixed to an end of the stretching member 418. [

The fixing pin 420 is a means to be fitted to the weight plate 400 so that the weight plate 400 can be selectively lifted by a desired weight.

For this purpose, each weight plate 400 is formed with a pin hole 402 in a straight line in the vertical direction.

The pin hole 402 is preferably formed at the center of the length of the weight plate 400 in the width direction so that the pin hole 402 is vertically communicated with the coupling pin insertion hole 404 formed at the center of the plate surface of the weight plate 400 .

In addition, the binding-engaging hole 404 guides the binding band 412 to be selectively lifted by a desired weight among the plurality of stacked weight plates 400.

Therefore, a binding pinhole P is formed in the binding band 412 while maintaining a gap corresponding to the upper and lower intervals of the pinhole 402.

A pair of guide inserting holes 406 are vertically formed on both sides of the weight plate 400 so as to be symmetrical with respect to each other with the binding-engaging hole 404 therebetween. In the guide inserting hole 406, And a pair of auxiliary guides 310a and 310b are respectively fitted.

Particularly, a buffer bushing SH is fixed to a lower end of the auxiliary guides 310a and 310b at a predetermined height from a fixed base 100 as a bottom surface, and the weight plates 400 The weight plate 400 can be disposed at a predetermined height position, and convenience of maintenance can be obtained.

The sensor housing 500 is fixed to the back surface of the base plate 410 through a fixing bolt 510. The sensor housing 500 is slidably mounted on the height measurement table 300.

In this case, the back surface of the sensor housing 500 is shown in an opened state in FIG. 2, which is shown in order to show the internal structure, and is kept closed by a cover (not shown) in actual use.

Since the sensor housing 500 is fixed to the base plate 410, the base plate 410 moves simultaneously with the weight plate 400 when the sensor housing 500 is lifted and lowered together with the weight plate 400.

However, since the height measurement unit 300 is fixed, the sensor housing 500 is slid along the height measurement unit 300 while moving up and down.

At this time, the assembly block 520 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is fixed to the upper end of the sensor housing 500 to slide the sensor housing 500.

The assembly block 520 is provided with one side open, and the measurement-side sliding groove 522 is formed toward the opposite side from the open side.

In addition, guide projections 524 protrude from both side walls of the measurement-side sliding groove 522 to guide the height measurement unit 300 so that it can slide smoothly without falling off.

In addition, at the center of the inner wall surface of the measurement-side sliding groove 522, two pairs of sensors are provided with a step difference between the upper and lower sides. Each sensor has a first light emitting sensor S11 and a first light receiving sensor S12 And a pair of the second light emitting sensor S21 and the second light receiving sensor S22 form a pair.

Here, the reason why the two pairs of sensors have a height difference with a step difference is that they are compared with each other through simultaneous measurement so as to know whether the weight plate 400 is ascending or descending. That is, it is intended to detect whether the exercise direction is actually detected or not.

Particularly, the sensor senses the sensing unit 302 (see FIG. 4) repeatedly formed with white and black at a predetermined interval, preferably at intervals of 1 mm, on one side of the height measuring unit 300, Since the light is absorbed in the black portion and can not be detected, it is possible to accurately detect the height of the weight plate 400 through the repetitive detection thereof.

The sensor is electrically connected to a control unit (not shown), which is mounted on a control board (PCB).

2, the control board PCB is mounted in the sensor housing 500 and a plurality of switches SW are provided on the control board PCB in a one-to-one correspondence with the position of each housing pin hole H, So that a control signal is transmitted to the control unit.

When the user inserts the fixing pin 420 into the pin hole 402, the tip of the fixing pin 420 sequentially passes through the pin hole 402, the binding pin hole P, and the housing pin hole H, Since the momentary switch SW to be contacted contacts the control unit SW, the control unit immediately checks the total weight of the weight plate 400 according to the position of the fixed pin 420 in real time .

In other words, when the user inserts the fixing pin 420 into the corresponding pin hole 402 as much as the weight desired to be lifted, the control unit immediately recognizes it and displays the weight on the display 600.

To this end, the display 600 may be additionally provided to the system of the present invention and is electrically connected to a control unit (not shown).

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

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

In addition, the control unit may further be connected to a user recognition unit installed in the system. The user recognition unit identifies the user's identity with an ID card such as a magnetic card, controls the user's exercise amount by the control unit, The management server of the 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 user recognition unit, and if the exercise is performed in that state, the muscle exercise best suited to the user can be performed. The user may be prompted to recognize a wrong sound pattern by installing a warning sound or prompting the user to recognize the sound immediately.

That is, the monitoring system according to the present invention displays the amount of exercise and the state of exercise according to the exercise prescription on the display 600 immediately on an individual basis so that the user can check whether he / she is exercising according to the exercise prescription or the goal is achieved in real time Accurate, and reliable motion.

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.

5, since the weight of the weight plate 400 is constantly fixed, the auxiliary plumbing rod 700 is provided on the front surface of the base plate 410 in order to move with a more detailed weight according to the amount of exercise, And an auxiliary fixture 710.

Thus, by further fitting the auxiliary weight plate 720 in the auxiliary fitting rod 700, weight control can be finely adjusted.

In this case, the auxiliary fixture 710 is a means for fixing the auxiliary weight plate 720 so as not to be detached.

Therefore, if the weights of the weight plates 400 are 5 kg, the user only has to adjust the weight in 5 kg increments.

However, when the auxiliary weight plate 720 is used, for example, when the auxiliary weight plate 720 is assumed to be 0.2 kg, 200 g or 400 g may be added depending on the number of the auxiliary weight plate 720, .

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

When the user inserts the fixing pin 420 into the pin hole 402, the corresponding weight (weight) is automatically displayed on the display 600 while the switch SW is operated.

Then, the user can instantaneously confirm the weight that he or she needs to lift.

In this state, when the user lifts the weight plate 400 while starting the motion, the sensor housing 500 is lifted together and moves along the height measuring table 300.

In the process, the sensor immediately checks whether the sensor housing 500 is ascending or descending, which is indicated on the display 600.

In addition, the elevation height of the user is displayed on the display 600 in units of the correct height by the detection of the sensor.

Therefore, the user can immediately check whether he or she is exercising as prescribed, and accurate exercise becomes possible.

In addition, if a database server or a management server is further provided, the database can be constructed so that each user can accurately record the exercise pattern, exercise amount, and the like for each user and utilize it as information.

As described above, the monitoring system according to the present invention induces accurate exercise according to the prescription, thereby enhancing effects of rehabilitation, treatment, and the like, and it is possible to guide accurate exercise even when the musculoskeletal system is strengthened.
