First, a description will be given with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. Figure 1 is a block diagram showing a head posture corrector according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2a is a perspective view showing an example of a hearing aid type corrector inserted into the ear, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view and an internal longitudinal cross-sectional view, Figure 4a to Figure 4d shows various examples of the displacement sensor 1 for detecting the head-up state.

In FIG. 1, the head posture corrector according to the present invention is attached to the body (in this case, the ear) to detect the head movement, that is, the head-up, and the displacement detection unit 1 for monitoring the head movement. ), The data input unit 2 for inputting the displacement state of the head output from the displacement detection unit 1 as data, the data input unit controller 3 for determining the input period of the data input unit 2, and the data input unit 2 A reference signal is outputted by inputting periodic displacement data from the reference signal, and the reference signal output unit 5 outputs the reference signal REF, and the signal from the data input unit 2 is always used as the current signal CUR. A comparison unit 6 and a comparison unit for comparing the signals of the current signal output unit 4, the current signal output unit 4 and the reference signal output unit 5 to output an alarm sound when there is a difference between them. Pass that means that no alarm sound or head-up occurs under the instruction of (11). It consists of a buzzer 7 for generating sound. Here, the data input unit 2, the data input unit controller 3, the current signal output unit 4, the reference signal output unit 5, and the comparison unit 6 become the control unit 100.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the overall appearance of the hearing aid head posture corrector, and Fig. 3 shows a cross sectional view and a longitudinal sectional view thereof, respectively. In Fig. 3, reference numeral 201 denotes an internal space of the system, 202 denotes a hard capsule, 203 denotes a soft capsule, and 204 denotes a soft wing, in which the components of 203 and 204 are softly formed. This is because it is a contact part. In addition, the soft wing 204 may have a configuration as shown in the perspective view of Fig. 2 and the longitudinal cross-sectional view of Fig. 3, may form a fin along the longitudinal direction, the function of which is fixed to the ear And any form is possible as long as it can function to form a passage through which external sounds enter and exit. In addition, between the outside and the inner space 201 is completely sealed to remove the damage and biological damage caused by impurities such as moisture, while also providing a convenient function for maintenance, such as storage, cleaning. Referring to the longitudinal cross-sectional view of FIG. 3, it can be seen that the buzzer 7, the control unit 100, the displacement detector 1, the battery 205, the switch 206, and the handle 207 are sequentially disposed from the left side.

4A to 4B show various embodiments of the displacement sensing unit 1.

First, in FIG. 4A, the conductive fluid 113 is injected into the carbon shell 112. The carbon shell 112 includes the first, second, and third resistors R1, R2, and R3. The fluid 113 becomes a fourth resistor R4. The conductive fluid 113 may be, for example, mercury, a conductive fluid resin, or any kind of material as long as it has fluidity and conductivity. When the head posture compensator causes a head-up during the golf swing, the fluid 113 in the carbon shell 112 moves, so the fourth resistor R4 (this resistance is substantially close to zero, so the resistance of the short Effect) is moved so that the values of the first, second, and third resistors R1, R2, and R3 change simultaneously, so that the first and second current values A1 and A2 change. Therefore, the current value is converted into an appropriate value, for example, a voltage using the changing current value, and then sent to the data input unit 2 of the controller 100. Reference numeral 111 denotes a holder contact.

4B shows an example in which a small metal ball 113 is used instead of the fluid liquid 113, and the small metal ball 123 has the same function as the fluid liquid 113 of FIG. 4A. Reference numeral 121 denotes a holder contact, and 122 denotes a carbon shell, which has the same operation and configuration as that of FIG.

4C shows three conductor plates 132 (for example, metal plates) attached to the outside of the insulating sphere 133, and metal spheres 134 are embedded therein. In this case, between the conductor plates 132 First and second capacitors C1 and C2 are formed on the substrate. In this state, when the head up occurs, the internal metal sphere 134 is moved to change the dielectric constants of the first and second capacitors C1 and C2. Therefore, the change value is converted into an appropriate voltage value to the data input unit 2. can send. The change value can also be used as data by forming a resonant circuit by connecting coils in parallel to the configuration of such a variable capacitor. On the other hand, reference numeral 131 denotes a lead wire.

In the case of FIG. 4D, the coil 143 is disposed around the rotor rotator 144 at the center thereof. When the head-up occurs and the peripheral coil 143 moves, relative displacement occurs between the rotating magnet 151 and the coil 143, so that an induced electromotive force is generated in the coil 143. This change in induced electromotive force can be converted into a value such as an appropriate voltage and sent to the data input unit 2.

As such, the displacement sensing unit 1 may have various types of examples, and eventually, any change value may be converted into appropriate electrical data and used as data.

On the other hand, as an example of the data input unit 2 that receives the signal from the displacement sensing unit 1, as shown in Fig. 5, the structure is composed of a multiplexer 21, an amplifier 22, and an A / D converter 23. Can be mentioned. The multiplexer 21 sequentially selects one of the voltage values converted from the first current value A1 or the second current value A2 and sends it to the amplifier 22. The amplifier 132 amplifies the input small voltage value to an appropriate range, for example, 0-1V or 0-5V, and the A / D converter 23 converts the analog value into a digital value.

In addition, the data input unit 2 performs A / D conversion of the signal from the displacement detection unit 1 at an appropriate period λ (for example, 0.1 second). That is, the data input controller 3 commands the A / D conversion at an appropriate period λ. Accordingly, the data input unit 2 outputs data indicating the head posture status information of the golf player at each time λ. 4) and the reference signal output unit 5.

On the other hand, the resolution during A / D conversion may be appropriately selected depending on the characteristics of the analog value. Details thereof are not the gist of the present invention and thus will be omitted. In addition, the configuration of the data input unit 2 may be variously changed according to the characteristics of the displacement detection unit 1. That is, as long as it is a function capable of converting the output value of the displacement detection unit 1 into a digital value, any configuration may be possible, and a detailed description thereof is not the gist of the present invention and thus will be omitted.

The current signal output section 4 functions to relay the current signal CUR from the data input section 2 to the comparison section 6 continuously, and is always updated with the current data.

The reference signal output section 5 inputs data from the data input section 2 up to the first N times (for example, 30 times) and determines whether the contents are the same. If the values up to N times are the same, the value is determined as the reference signal REF and transmitted to the comparator.

The comparison unit 6 compares the current signal CUR and the reference signal REF of the current signal output unit 5 and determines that a head-up has occurred in a different case, and causes the buzzer 7 to ring a head-up generation alarm.

6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the head posture corrector of the present invention having the configuration as described above.

First, in step S2, the displacement sensing unit 1 continuously monitors the movement of the head of the golfer's body and outputs the state information. In step S3, the data input unit 2 provides the state information from the displacement sensing unit 1. Is converted into appropriate digital data and output periodically (for example, period? = 0.1 second). This output signal is output to the current signal output section 4 (step S11), and on the other hand, to the reference signal output section 5 in step S4 to compare data up to N times (e.g. 30 times). Done. If all of the data from step S5 to N times are the same, the flow advances to step S6 to set the input data value up to N times as the reference signal REF. If not, the step S4 is repeated again. . In step S7, the reference signal and the current signal CUR are compared. If the reference signal REF and the current signal CUR are not the same in step S8, the flow advances to step S9 to generate an alarm. Proceed with the operation again from the beginning.

7 shows another embodiment of the present invention.

7 is identical to the embodiment of FIG. 1 except that the comparator 9 is connected to the comparator 6 and the comparator 8 is connected to the reference signal output 5. Will be omitted.

First, the reason why the reference signal output controller 8 is connected is as follows. That is, the reference signal output section 5 inputs the output signals from the data input section 2 periodically, and defines the number of the input signals by N circuits. Therefore, when the period of the input signal is λ, it takes time λ × N = λN to input and compare the N times signal. If lambda is set to 0.1 second and N is set to 30, for example, 0.1 x 30 = 3 seconds is a time for inputting status information from the displacement detection unit. This 3 second is an empirical measure of the average time an athlete or golfer stops his head just before swinging. However, since this time is somewhat different between individuals, it is to adjust the number of times to be able to adjust the time according to the taste of the individual. In other words, if the number of times N is changed, the time at which the hair movement stops may be set freely.

The reason for connecting the comparator regulator 9 is as follows. That is, assuming that the golfer stops for a period of λ N just before the swing, for example, the fluid liquid 113 of FIG. 4A also stops, and the current value (or the converted value in the resistors R1, R2, R3 in this stopped state) is changed. Voltage value) is input to the reference signal output section 5 for a time of? N and is determined as the reference signal REF. When the head up occurs after the swing of the golfer, the conductive fluid 113 is swung to change the values of the resistors R1, R2, and R3. At this time, since the current value (or the converted voltage value) is also changed, the current signal CUR input through the data input unit 2 and the current signal output unit 4 is different from the reference signal REF. As a result, a buzzer sound is generated in accordance with the determination of the comparator 6. However, the difference between the reference signal REF and the current signal CUR may vary considerably according to individual differences. In other words, the degree of occurrence of head-ups during swinging can vary considerably from individual to individual, and as a result, the difference between the reference signal REF and the current signal CUR also varies according to the individual. Depending on the level, the type of buzzer sound can be configured to be differential according to the level. Also, even a seasoned golfer may have a slight head-up, so there may be a slight tolerance between the reference signal REF and the current signal CUR. A comparator regulator 9 is installed to enable this function.

In addition, the following modifications are possible.

Head posture compensator according to the present invention can be any shape as long as it is a hearing aid type, as well as a type attached to the head, headphone type, ear plug type, ear type, etc., to detect the head-up.

In addition, the present invention may not be limited to the purpose if the field needs a function that can detect and correct the movement in addition to golf.

According to the configuration as described above, the head posture corrector of the present invention can be easily attached to the body, especially the head part, and when the golfer swings in the attached state, whether the head up is easily and easily through the alarm sound. It provides a verifiable effect. In addition, the hearing aid type, headphone type, hat type, ear plug type, ear ring type and so on, there is an effect that can be conveniently worn according to the personal taste.

Although various preferred embodiments have been described above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. That is, the displacement detecting unit 1 of the present invention may employ a method using a sound wave or an ultrasonic signal in addition to the above example. In addition, the configuration of the data input unit 2 may also be modified in various ways depending on the characteristics of the input signal. Accordingly, the present invention can of course be modified and modified without departing from the scope of the following claims and their technical spirit.
