Description

Exercise control system using sensors {System for controlling exercise}

The present invention relates to a motion control system using sensors, and more particularly, to a motion control system using sensors capable of enabling an athlete to continuously maintain a swimming position in a limited space.

Usually, the number of large swimming pools for the public is extremely small, that is, in the case of Seoul, there are only 2-3 swimming pools per district, so most citizens who want healthy swimming give up due to lack of supply and only a few special people use it. only

In particular, in the case of small towns and rural areas, there are no facilities for swimming pools, so healthy swimming and swimming practice for aspiring swimmers are impossible in the first place, so there are no international level swimmers in Korea.

However, if you look at the current state of swimming pools in existing gymnasiums, most of them are for summer use, and they are also used as entertainment facilities for children and families, and healthy use for healthy swimming is extremely insignificant in reality.

In addition, there are almost no special facilities for swimming practice of aspiring swimmers in the pool. In some wealthy mansions, there are occasional places equipped with a pool in the garden, but even that is only for summer, and it is almost impossible to use it all year round.

Furthermore, when swimming is practiced using a small pool, it is not possible to achieve a target amount of exercise by substantially maintaining a certain accommodating motion due to the short length of the lane.

That is, when an athlete swims in a small swimming pool, the length of the swimming path is limited, so that the swimming motion cannot be continuously maintained.

In addition, in recent years, home training to exercise at home has been activated according to the epidemic situation. However, in the case of swimming, it is practically difficult to install a swimming pool of a certain size indoors.

Accordingly, it is required to develop a technology capable of achieving a certain amount of exercise through swimming by maintaining a constant swimming position when an individual swims after installing a small swimming pool of a certain size at home.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the sensing unit 200 according to the present invention includes a light emitting unit 210 that emits light, receives the emitted light, and transmits a signal according to receiving the light to maintain the movement position. A light receiving unit 220 transmitting to the unit 300 may be included.

The light emitting part 210 and the light receiving part 220 are disposed to face each other on both side walls of the pool 100 so as to be disposed at the set position. Here, the set position may be the above-described sensing position.

Also, although not shown in the drawing, the positions of the light emitting unit 210 and the light receiving unit 220 may be varied through movable rails installed on both side walls of the pool 100 .

Through this configuration, when the light emitted from the light emitting unit 210 is blocked by the exerciser located at the set position, the exercise position maintaining unit 300 recognizes that the exerciser is located at the set position. can

The exerciser is located at the first position of the pool 100 and can move in the water while swimming toward the second position. Accordingly, the mover is moved from the first position to the second position.

At this time, the sensing unit 200 according to the present invention detects in real time whether or not the exerciser is located at the set sensing position. That is, the light emitting unit 210 emits light, and the light receiving unit 220 receives the emitted light.

In addition, the controller 350 uses the pump 340 to form a state in which water is ejected at a predetermined pressure through the discharge holes 110 formed on the front side of the pool at the second position.

When the exerciser moves to the detection position while swimming, the emitted light is blocked by the exerciser's body and the light receiving unit 520 cannot receive light, and at this time, the controller 350 determines that the exerciser is located at the set position. do.

At this time, the controller 350 controls the driving of the pump 340 to increase the pressure of the water ejected through the discharge holes 110 to a certain level or higher. Preferably, the controller 350 variably increases the pumping pressure of the water discharged through the discharge holes 110 so that the swimmer moving while swimming can stay at the set position.

Here, the exerciser swims from the first position toward the second position, and as the water ejected through the discharge holes 110 is ejected from the second position toward the first position, the swimmer swims under the pumping pressure of the ejected water. Movement can be prevented by

Therefore, the exerciser can continuously stay at the set position while swimming.

The exercise position maintaining unit 300 processes the acquired image to recognize the exerciser included in the acquired image.

The exercise position maintaining unit 300 determines whether the recognized exerciser reaches the set position.

Accordingly, the controller 350 through the image acquirer 230 determines that the exerciser is located at the set position.

At this time, the controller 350 controls the driving of the pump 340 to increase the pressure of the water ejected through the discharge holes 110 above a certain level. Preferably, the controller 350 variably increases the ejection pressure of the water discharged through the discharge holes 110 so that the swimmer moving while swimming can stay at the set position.

Here, the exerciser swims from the first position toward the second position, and as the water ejected through the discharge holes 110 is ejected from the second position toward the first position, the swimmer responds to the pressure of the ejected water. Movement can be prevented by

Therefore, the exerciser can continuously stay at the set position while swimming.

According to the configuration and operation described above, the present invention can allow an athlete to continuously maintain a swimming position in a limited space.

In addition, a swimming motion reference image is preset in the controller 350 according to the present invention.
