Description

Healthy apparatus capable of game using software or internet}

The present invention relates to a variant of a bicycle used in a manpower, for example, a track that is run by a bridge, and more particularly, a pair of players who can simultaneously implement a game through software or the Internet while playing sports and games. By alternately pressing the pedal, the fitness device is capable of confirming the amount of exercise based on the degree of expansion of the air-pumped tube element according to the amount of transmission of the chain recommended for the drive, intermediate and driven sprockets.

Bicycles, which are now widely deployed, generally have a pair of crank arms fixed with a 180 degree phase difference on both sides of the shaft of the chain sprocket, and pedals mounted on each crank arm, which alternately press these pedals on both legs. And rotates the chain sprocket and transmits the rotation of the chain sprocket through the chain to the rear wheel for propulsion.

Here, the rotational force generated on the shaft of the chain sprocket appears as an enemy of the distance from this axis to the pedal and the tangential force of the rotational path of the pedal. In this case, it was necessary to lengthen the crank arm and hold the distance from the shaft of the chain sprocket to the pedal long.

However, since the diameter of the rotational trajectory of the pedal of a conventional bicycle is determined based on the length of the human leg, it becomes difficult to stir the pedal if it is longer than the current crank arm, the ratio is bad, and the stability is also a problem. Various inconveniences have occurred.

In addition, when the rotation of the chain sprocket is transmitted to the rear wheels, the front wheels and the rear wheels operate simultaneously, and the space occupied by the front wheels and the rear wheels makes it difficult to support the bicycle body at home and to exercise and handle the rear wheels. It was fraught with fear of children being injured.

In addition, the existing bicycle-type fitness equipment, because the exerciser (hereinafter referred to as the 'player') can not measure the amount of exercise of their own, due to the disadvantages such as easy exhaustion, the inherent function of the exercise function Ineffectiveness, such as not letting them live, was left unattended.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is not to simply exercise through rotation of a wheel based on a simple pedal operation, but also to allow a player to easily exercise while recognizing his or her own exercise amount, and to make a rear wheel. It is to provide a fitness device that can safely obtain the rotational force compared to the conventional bicycle by transmitting the rotational drive force transmitted to the rear wheel to the air pump pumping in conjunction with the chain drive without wasting unnecessary rotational driving force of the .

In addition to the existing bicycle-type fitness equipment that simply requires only pedal operation, various sensors are attached to the operation portion of the fitness equipment, and the signals detected by the sensors are output to the game unit, and the key input of the game application program is provided. It is to provide a fitness device to implement the device.

All.

On the other hand, a plurality of detection units (S1, S2, ...) for detecting an operation signal that is displaced or rotated in accordance with the operation of the fitness equipment.

Further, a key input device for displacing or rotating in accordance with the pedal operation of the player and outputting a signal detected by the detectors S1, S2, ... to the game unit based on the displacement or rotation, controls the game. do.

Moreover, the said detection part S1, S2, ... is a rotation speed sensor S1 attached to the steering shaft 15 in order to detect the rotation amount according to the stroke by the said handle 17, and the player's pedal. The speed sensor S2 attached to the front fork 110 side corresponding to the axle shaft of the rotating disk 19 and the handle 17 to detect the rotational speed of the rotating disk 19 rotated according to the operation. Position sensor (S3) for detecting the displacement of the brake pad (17b) hinged by a wire reciprocating in the cable (L) whether viewed through the cable (L) or by the brake lever (17a) hinged to both ends of the cable (L). ) And a microcomputer for transmitting a control signal to the game unit GU for controlling the game driven by the operation unit using the signals detected by the sensors S1, S2, ... as driving pulse signals.

Further, the displacement of the brake pad 17b hinged by the wire reciprocating in the cable L is detected by the brake lever 17a hinged to the handle 17 or via the cable L. The position sensor S3 is used to detect brake operation by the player, and outputs a signal for decelerating a speed in a game such as a car to the microprocessor CPU to drive pulses.

In this way, the signal detected by the sensors S1, S2, ... of each part of the vehicle body is used as the driving pulse signal, so that the game driven by the operation unit made of the sensors can be controlled.

In addition, a number of sensors are installed for a video game, a detection signal is transmitted to an input interface of a microprocessor (CPU) using a conventional computer keyboard or a joystick, and various kinds of fitness devices in which a player controls the play of a video game. When the signals from the sensors S1, S2, ... are also output to the input interface of the microprocessor, the microprocessor generates display signals in accordance with the signals generated by the joystick or the computer keyboard and the sensor according to the present invention. In addition to displaying the motion on a video display, the waveform can be combined with all the activities of the game while playing to control the game.

On the other hand, when the player operates the valve of the regulator 70, by varying the tension of the spring held inside the regulator 70, by adjusting the air pressure holding force in the tube element in multiple stages, the degree of fitness consumption due to the player's movement You can perform exercise while controlling the multi-level.

Therefore, the pedal operation force can be increased or decreased in multiple stages, and the amount of exercise of the pedal can be easily recognized according to the degree of expansion of the tube element, thereby enabling the control of the amount of exercise by time or by day.

Therefore, the detection signal according to the sensors S1, S2, ... mounted on the displacement and rotation parts of the fitness equipment can be captured and instructed to the control target in the game application program, and in particular, to the control object (object or character). By allowing a certain movement such as performing a specific movement, changing a direction, or giving a predetermined motion, the player can easily use any desired control unit, which causes a discomfort or confusion in the operation. There is a very excellent effect, such as to provide a game console to solve the problem.

In addition, by using the fitness device described above, it has the effect that can simultaneously implement the game via software or the Internet while exercising.

As described above, according to the fitness device according to the present invention, a game application is processed by imparting an operation to an object in a game application program or interrupting a key value in an application program through a pointing input to process the game application program in a batch. It can be applied to, and by the player's pedal operation, the amount of movement can be checked based on the degree of expansion of the tube element according to the degree of exercise. have.
