Description

{The pool having exercise device}

The present invention relates to a pool in which an exercise device is installed, and to a pool in which a weightless underwater exercise device is installed so that an athlete can stand up by detecting an emergency situation during underwater exercise using an exercise device in a pool in a zero gravity state.

In Patent Publication No. 10-2007-0013966 (hereinafter referred to as 'Prior Art 1'), the elderly or patients, the physically disabled, and overweight persons, etc. use exercise equipment in the pool for the purpose of rehabilitation, muscle strengthening, and weight loss. A working pool to exercise using

According to this prior art 1, a working machine is provided inside the pool, a support is installed across the top of the pool, and the support has a structure provided with a jacket to be worn on the body.

Therefore, the exercise effect is doubled while reducing the burden due to the weight by the load of water by driving the walking machine while the exerciser is wearing the jacket to overcome the resistance of water.

However, in this prior art 1, there is no mention of a structure capable of assembling and disassembling the pool, and it is very difficult to install in a narrow place or at home, and it is not cumbersome to exercise wearing a jacket in a water tank filled with water. .

In other words, it is difficult for the elderly or the incapacitated person to wear a jacket on their own, and also other athletes do not feel very comfortable with their body movements to exercise in a jacket, so they exercise without wearing a jacket, which can lead to drowning, etc. safety accidents may occur.

For example, if the elderly or physically disabled fall in a pool filled with water without wearing a jacket because it is cumbersome, or if they lose their mind, they become immersed in water and do not take immediate action, safety accidents such as drowning occur. There is a problem that

In addition, in Registered Patent No. 10-2133516 (hereinafter referred to as 'prior art 2'), when the bicycle is fixed to the bottom of the water tank and the exerciser steps on the pedal to rotate the rotating body, the fluid resistance plate provided in the rotating body is applied. An underwater exercise device was proposed to prevent damage to muscles, joints, and bones due to the buoyancy of fire by allowing the user to exercise while receiving the resistance of water.

That is, the exercise bike is fixed in the water tank and the rotating body subjected to the resistance of water is rotated so that it can be exercised, and the exercise effect can be greatly improved by not putting a burden on the joints by the buoyancy of the water.

However, in this prior art 2, the body is immersed in water in case of an emergency, such as when the elderly or physically disabled person with joint disease falls down in a water tank while exercising while sitting on a bicycle or loses consciousness. If not, there is a problem that safety accidents such as drowning occur.

In addition, in Registered Patent No. 10-2106609 (hereinafter referred to as 'Prior Art 3') registered by the present applicant, when an emergency situation occurs to an athlete while exercising in the pool, the water in the tank is drained to prevent drowning accidents A pool for exercise that can be done was suggested.

However, in the structure of the prior art 3, it is a structure that can prevent a safety accident by quickly draining water to the outside by operating the pump in an emergency situation, but it takes time to drain a lot of water in the water tank to the outside, so There is a problem in that time is delayed, a problem that the volume may increase due to the use of a pump, and a problem that an auxiliary water tank capable of accommodating the water drained from the water tank must be provided, which also increases the volume significantly.

In particular, in the case of the prior art 3, since it is mainly used in an indoor space such as a home, the volume must be minimized, and when the water drained from the water tank is directly drained into the room, damage such as electric shock or flooding caused by the drained water may occur, so an auxiliary water tank must be provided to separately accommodate the drained water.

In addition, in a specific case, there is a term arbitrarily selected by the applicant, and in this case, the meaning will be described in detail in the description of the corresponding invention.

Therefore, the term used in the present invention should be defined based on the meaning of the term and the overall content of the present invention, rather than the name of a simple term.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

However, the embodiments of the present invention illustrated below may be modified in various other forms, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below.

The embodiments of the present invention are provided to more completely explain the present invention to those of ordinary skill in the art.

1 is a view showing the structure of a pool installed with a bicycle-type exercise device according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side cross-sectional view of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a view showing the structure of the elevating part.

And, Figure 4 is a plan view of the cross-sectional structure of Figure 1, Figure 5 is a control block diagram of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 1, the pool 100 according to the present invention accommodates water therein, and a door 110 is installed on the side of the pool 100 to facilitate entry and exit of athletes, and the door 110 is When water is accommodated in the pool 100, it should have a structure that maintains airtightness so that leakage does not occur to the outside.

In addition, a bicycle-type exercise device 120 is fixedly installed inside the pool 100, and the exercise device 120 has a state fixed to the inner bottom portion of the pool 100 as shown in FIG. 2, The water level is at least equal to or slightly higher than the upper limit of the pedal.

A safety device is provided to prevent safety accidents such as drowning that occurs when an athlete falls down or loses his mind while using the exercise equipment 120 in the pool 100 and is immersed in water. Consists of an elevating unit 130 , a screw 140 , a motor 150 , a water level sensor 170 , a camera 180 , and a controller 200 .

The water level sensor 170 detects the water level contained in the pool 100, and when the athlete enters the pool 100 and is not on the exercise equipment, first detects the water level, and rapidly when the athlete is submerged in water. The height of the changing water level is sensed secondarily.

That is, when the exerciser enters the pool 100, the water level rises. At this time, before the exerciser starts the exercise and it is not an emergency situation, the water level in that state is sensed and transmitted to the controller 200. The controller 200 sets the water level value detected by the water level sensor 170 as an initial value.

For example, a change of ±2~7% of the initial value, that is, a change in the water level value, is a change in the water level value caused by waves when the exerciser is exercising, so the change in the water level value is set as an allowable value.

In addition, since the change of the water level value of 8% or more is a state in which the entire body of the exerciser is submerged in water, the controller 200 sets this as an emergency situation.

Therefore, when the exerciser presses the button 121 provided on the handle of the exercise device 120 in the pool 100 after setting the initial value, the controller 200 continuously monitors the water level value input from the water level sensor 170 . If the fluctuation of the water level value is within the set allowable value range, it is not judged as an emergency situation.

However, when the water level value exceeds the allowable value range, the controller 200 counts the time for which the current water level value exceeds the allowable value, and the duration exceeds the set time (for example, 5 seconds). In other words, since it is an emergency state rather than a case where the exerciser intentionally immerses the body in water, the controller 200 immediately elevates the elevating unit 130 to control the exerciser's body to rise above the water level.

Even with the value sensed by the water level sensor 170, the controller 200 can determine the emergency situation, but as an additional structure for determining the emergency situation, the emergency situation can be determined by image recognition.

To this end, a camera 180 is installed in the pool 100 and the controller 200 recognizes the captured image by photographing the body of the athlete. By determining when the athlete falls or is submerged in water, the emergency situation can be confirmed. there will be

As an image recognition technology, technologies such as Patent Publication No. 10-2019-0054702 (method and apparatus for recognizing an object's behavior in an image), and registered patent No. 10-1563297 (a method and apparatus for recognizing an action in an image) will be available

Therefore, the controller 200 can accurately determine the emergency situation of the exerciser by the change of the water level by the water level sensor 170 and the recognition of the image captured by the camera 180 .

When it is determined that the controller 200 is an emergency situation, by driving the motor 150 to elevate the elevating unit 130 from the bottom of the water tank to the upper side of the water surface, the exerciser is raised to the upper side of the water surface to solve the emergency situation, In order to elevate the elevating unit 130, a screw 140 is axially installed on the inner front surface of the pool 100 in the vertical direction, and the connecting portion 133 of the elevating unit 130 to the screw 140 as shown in FIG. ) is screwed together.

The lower portion of the screw 140 is condensed with the shaft of the motor 150 at a position lower than the bottom surface of the pool 100, so that by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 150 under the control of the controller 200, the elevating part ( The connection part 133 of 130 is raised and lowered in the vertical direction on the screw 140 .

In addition, since the upper end of the screw 140 is located on the upper side of the water surface, the elevating unit 130 can be raised and lowered from the bottom surface of the pool 100 to the upper side of the water surface.

In order to prevent the elevating part 130 from being rotated when the screw 140 is rotated, a support shaft 160 in the form of a bar standing side by side in the vertical direction is fixed and installed near the screw 140 .

Accordingly, the fastening hole 134 provided in the connecting part 133 is formed with a tab inside and is screwed to the screw 140 and fastened, and the support shaft 160 is inserted into the insertion hole 135, thereby elevating the elevating part ( 130) to prevent rotation when ascending and descending.

A ring-shaped first arm 131 and a second arm 132 with an open rear portion are formed at the rear of the connecting portion 133 . These connecting portions 133 , the first arm 131 , and the second When the arm 132 is in the lowest position, it is accommodated in the receiving groove 101 formed on the bottom surface of the pool 100 so that the upper end thereof has the same height as the bottom surface.

In addition, it has a shape to accommodate the elevating part 130 in the form of a receiving groove 101 to fit snugly.

Therefore, when the athlete enters the inside of the pool 100, the elevating unit 130 will not protrude from the floor.

And, as shown in FIG. 4 , the connection part 133, the first arm 131, and the second arm 132 have a shape that does not interfere with the exercise device 120 when ascending and descending, and when ascending and descending, the exerciser It has a structure that lifts the body of the body to the upper side of the water surface

In the present invention, although the structure of the ring-shaped elevating unit 130 is described as an example thereof, it may have a structure of various types of elevating unit for raising the fallen exerciser.

Since the first arm 131 and the second arm 132 move up and down while being inserted into the armpit of the exerciser, they naturally raise the exerciser, and in the raised state, the exerciser can be rescued by immediately leaving the open rearward. there will be

That is, the first arm 131 and the second arm 132 may have a round hook shape so that they can be fitted in the armpit of the exerciser, and the structure is possible through the open rear part even if the elevating part is not lowered. .

Of course, as in prior art 3, it may additionally have a structure for draining the water accommodated in the pool 100 to the outside, and the elevating unit 130 will be able to drain water while lifting.

In addition, the load cell 190 is installed in the first arm 131 and the second arm 132. When the elevating unit 130 elevates and pulls the body of the exerciser upward, the first arm 131 and If the exerciser's body does not rest on the second arm 132 , the load cell 190 does not sense the weight.

In this case, the elevating unit 130 descends again, that is, until the load cell 190 detects the weight, that is, the exerciser's body is repeatedly raised and lowered to accurately pull the exerciser's body out of the water.

As described above in detail a specific part of the content of the present invention, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it is clear that this specific description is only a preferred embodiment, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereby. something to do.

Accordingly, it is intended that the substantial scope of the present invention be defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
