Jump fitness equipment}

The present invention relates to a jumping exercise equipment mainly used by infants and children, and more specifically, to automatically measure the number of jumps in conjunction with the jumping motion, so that the user's exercise amount can be easily checked.

There are many types of play equipment and exercise equipment mainly used by infants and children, and among them, jumping exercise equipment (aka 'sky kongkong') has been a favorite exercise equipment for infants and children for a long time.

This type of jumping exercise equipment can improve your sense of balance and agility while having fun while jumping from the top, and in the process, you can get significant exercise effects, and it is also helpful for growth and development through repetitive jumping movements. It is known and loved a lot.

In addition, various play methods are preferred, such as comparing the number of jumps with the opponent to determine victory or defeat. However, since conventional jumping exercise equipment only provides a jumping function, the number of jumps cannot be known and the inconvenience of having to count the number of jumps directly is inconvenient. There is a meaning.

In addition, in the case of infants and children, it is often used under parental supervision, but there is no way to measure the amount of exercise, so there is a problem that there is no way to determine the appropriate amount of exercise. In some cases, it can actually put a strain on joints, etc., and the problem is that it is difficult for parents to manage infants and children because the number of times cannot be measured.

Therefore, it has recently been proposed to count the number of jumps by installing a counter that detects the number of jumps using a piezoelectric element, as disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-0701055 (2007.03.22). However, this method does not work normally. That is, even if the jump operation is not performed accurately, there is a problem in that accurate counting is not achieved due to the number of jumps increasing or various other environmental factors.

The present invention is intended to solve the problems described above, and allows automatic measurement of the number of jumps in conjunction with repetitive movements by the elastic restoring force of the jumping exercise equipment, so as to measure the user's exercise amount as well as manage and supervise the amount of exercise. In addition to making it possible, it is possible to make accurate measurements while mechanically linking the measurement structure to the jump operation structure, and to provide a measurement means that can prevent damage or breakage even during repeated operations.

In addition, it is possible to generate various effects, such as visual or auditory effects, in conjunction with the jump operation.

The present invention, as a technical idea for achieving the above object, is a body formed with a handle on the upper side and a pair of footrests on the lower side, and the piston is mounted so that it touches the ground and reciprocates in the vertical direction, and the piston is elastic by a compression spring. In a jump exercise device capable of performing a jump exercise while having a restoring force, the body is equipped with a counting device that measures the number of jumps by detecting the reciprocating action of the piston, and the counting device detects the reciprocating action of the piston. It is configured to include a sensing switch, a control unit that receives the signal from the switch and counts the number of jumps, a display that externally displays the quantity counted by the control unit, and a controller for setting and manipulating the count measurement, where the switch is located within the body. It is assembled and fixed directly above the path in which the piston reciprocates, so that when the piston jumps and lands on the ground, the piston rises and is pressed by contact with the upper surface of the piston to perform a count operation.

In addition, the counter is equipped with a switch at the bottom of the handle shaft so that it contacts the upper surface of the piston, and a hollow socket is installed on the handle shaft to accommodate the switch, and the switch is raised and lowered in the socket in a rail structure, By having the switch supported by a buffer spring, the shock transmitted to the switch when counting by the piston can be attenuated.

Because exercise quantity measurement is performed automatically, it provides convenience of use.

In addition, by measuring the number of jumps in the area where the elastic restoring force acts, accurate momentum can be measured through a precise measurement structure, and the assembly structure is designed to be easily assembled and disassembled vertically, making maintenance easy. there is.

In addition, even if repetitive movements are performed in a state where the user's weight is large or small or there is a difference in elastic recovery force, damage or breakage of the measuring device can be prevented, thereby ensuring durability and greatly improving safety.

In addition, during play or exercise, light and sound effects stimulate visual and auditory interest, and each effect can be linked each time a jump is performed to add more fun, so you can feel less tired while exercising. It can be fun to play.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the jumping exercise equipment of the present invention is equipped with a handle 102 and a footrest 104 on the upper and lower sides of the body 100, respectively, and the piston 200 is mounted on the body 100. ) It is configured to be installed so that an elastic restoring force is applied by the compression spring 300 when mounted on the lower part of the body, and the body 100 is equipped with a piston 200 to perform vertical reciprocating movement. ) is provided, and the body 120 is provided with a counting device 140 that can measure the number of jumps by the reciprocating motion of the piston 200.

The body body 120 has a pair of footrests 104 assembled at the bottom, and a handle shaft 122 made of a tubular body is mounted on the upper side of the body body 120, and a pair of handles ( 102) is provided so that when the user holds the handle 102 and puts his/her weight on the footrest 104, the piston 200 touches the ground and reciprocates in the vertical direction. At this time, the piston 200 is compressed. The spring 300 makes it possible to repeatedly perform jumping exercises while having elastic restoring force.

And the counting device 140 mounted on the body 120 measures the number of jumps when jumping exercises are repeatedly performed.

4 to 6 are diagrams showing the mounting structure of the counting device 140. The counting device 140 receives a switch 142 that detects the reciprocating operation of the piston 200 and a signal from the switch 142. It is comprised of a control unit 144 that counts the number of jumps, a display 146 that externally displays the quantity counted in the control unit 144, and a controller 148 for setting and manipulating the number measurement.

The switch 142 is assembled and fixed directly above the path along which the piston 200 reciprocates within the body 120 to count the reciprocating motion of the piston.

Preferably, the switch 142 is configured as a button switch, and is mounted in a downward direction from directly above the piston, so that when the piston 200 is raised vertically within the body 120, the upper surface 202 of the piston 200 ) and the button is pressed to operate the switch 142.

The control unit 144 is made of a board such as a PCB and is connected to a power supply unit that supplies power by a battery, etc., and is electrically connected to the switch 142 to detect and count the operation of the switch.

In the control unit 144, the display 146 and the controller 148 may be electrically connected or formed as one piece, and the display 146 and the controller 148 are mounted to be exposed to the outside of the body 120 so that the user cannot You can check the letters and numbers displayed on the display, and use the controller 148 to perform operations such as count setting and reset.

Therefore, when a user performs a jump exercise while riding a jump exercise device, when the piston lands on the ground after jumping, the body 100 is lowered by the rider's body weight while the piston 200 is fixed to the ground. , As the body 100 descends, the switch 142 touches the upper surface of the piston 200 and presses the button to add one jump. If the jumping exercise continues, the number of jumps is increased by repeating the above operation. As it accumulates, you can measure the total number of jumps and check the amount of exercise.

At this time, as a structure for mounting the counting device 140, the handle shaft 122 is separated from the body body 120, the switch 142 is built into the handle shaft 122, and then a separate housing ( 130) can be provided to embed the control unit 144, display 146, and controller 148 so that they can be assembled as one piece.

In addition, the housing 160 is formed in a structure in which it is divided into two pieces and assembled together, thereby minimizing structural changes to the jumping exercise equipment and making it possible to assemble the counting device 140 in a simple structure. By assembling them in opposing engagements, the handle shaft 122 mounted on the body 120 in an upper and lower vertical structure can be double fixed to ensure a more robust assembly.

For this purpose, a receiving space may be formed in the housing 160, and a first fastening groove 162 is formed at the upper end of the housing 160 into which the lower end of the handle shaft 122 is inserted and up and down flow is blocked by the partition wall. It is formed at the bottom of the housing 160 with a second fastening groove 164 in which the upper holder of the body 120, on which the shock absorbing spring 300 is mounted, is inserted and the up and down flow is blocked by the partition wall, thereby forming the body. The assembly of the main body 120 and the handle shaft 122 can be performed firmly.

Meanwhile, when the body 100 performs a jump exercise, the body 100 descends based on the piston 200 and contacts the switch 142 of the counting device 140 to measure the number of movements. When (100) is lowered, the acceleration gradually decreases because it has a buffering effect and is elastically fixed by the compression spring (300), and the lowering speed gradually becomes relatively slower in the later stages than the initial descending speed, so the switch (142) The striking force can be minimized.

In addition, as a structure to enable button-type operation while further minimizing the force hitting the switch 142, the switch 142 is mounted at the bottom of the handle shaft 122 and contacts the upper surface of the piston 200, and the handle If the shaft 122 is made of a hollow tube and the switch 142 is formed to be raised and lowered while sliding up and down inside the handle shaft 122, button-type operation is possible, but if the switch is pressed with excessive pressure than necessary. As the switch 142 is raised, breakage or damage can be prevented.

In addition, as a structure for mounting the switch 142, as shown in FIG. 6, a socket 124 having a hollow shape is provided to accommodate the switch 142 on the handle shaft 122 of the body 120. It is mounted and formed in a structure that moves up and down while the switch 142 is mounted on the socket 124, and a buffer spring 143 is built inside the socket 124 so that the switch 142 is attached to the upper surface of the piston 200. It can reduce the shock delivered to the switch when it is touched and pressed.

The socket 124 has a flange formed at the bottom of the cylindrical portion and is slide-assembled on the handle shaft 122. At this time, when the switch 142 is pressed by the piston 200, the pressing force is not concentrated to one side. In order to ensure that the button is pressed stably while performing a vertical raising and lowering operation, it can be mounted in a vertically upward and downward sliding operation structure. For this purpose, a rail 124a is formed on the side of the cylindrical portion of the socket 124, A stable lifting operation can be achieved by inserting a protrusion formed on the side of the switch 142 into the rail and allowing an up and down lifting operation to occur along the rail.

In addition, this switch 142 is electrically connected to the control unit 144 in order to send a signal to the control unit 144, and has a structure in which the switch 142 reciprocates while supported by the buffer spring 143. Despite this, it can prevent electrically connected cables from being damaged.

At this time, the cable connected to the switch 142 is connected to the control unit 144 via the socket 124, and a guide groove 124b is formed along the cable line on the outer periphery of the socket 124, and the handle shaft By allowing the socket 124 to be inserted into the hollow handle shaft 122 by being pulled out through a hole formed at one end of the switch 122, the path of the cable electrically connected to the switch 142 is drawn outward. By providing guidance, the counting device 140 can be mounted safely despite its structure being measured by detecting the reciprocating motion of the piston, and the electrical connection structure of the counting device 140 can be simplified.

At this time, the buffer spring 143 can have an elastic restoring force relatively greater than the pressure at which the switch 142 is pressed, so that the buffer spring 142 provides a buffer function after the switch is first pressed.

And even if the elastic restoring force of the buffer spring 142 is weak, the compressing force gradually becomes stronger as it is pressed by the piston 200, so even if the initial switch button is not activated, the switch button is pressed after it is inserted to a certain depth. You lose.

Therefore, when performing a jump exercise while riding the jump exercise device of the present invention, the top of the piston 200 accurately hits the exact center of the switch 142 to operate the button, thereby increasing the number of exercises without measurement error or error. It can be measured accurately.

In addition, despite the fact that the button is pressed in a hitting structure, when the button is pressed, a buffering action is performed by the buffer spring 143, so the shock transmitted to the switch 142 is minimized to prevent breakage or damage. When the switch 142 is raised and lowered, the electrical connection can be maintained without interference from the buffer spring, allowing stable operation despite repeated operation.

Meanwhile, the housing 160 is equipped with a sound generator 180 having a speaker on the other side of the housing 160, and when the sound generator 180 is electrically connected to the controller 144, the controller 148 ), or by pressing the switch 142, a signal can be received from the control unit 144 to generate sound.

In addition, the sound generating device 180 may output a guidance sound or a voice message to recognize when a set number of exercises is reached corresponding to the number of exercises measured by pressing the switch 142.

In other words, by pressing the switch 142, the data received by the control unit is acquired, and when the number of exercise increases is detected, a specific sound is generated when the set number is reached, allowing the user to estimate the quantity even without checking the display. .

For example, the control unit 144 is preset to output a specific guidance sound when the number of times reaches 10, 10 times, 20 times, 30 times... As shown, the rider can roughly estimate the number of exercises by outputting a guidance sound through the sound generator 180 every time each unit of 10 is reached. At this time, if the sound output for each unit is formed differently, Users can easily determine the total quantity.

And by generating sound effects like this, you can double the fun of exercising and feel a greater sense of accomplishment when exercising.
