Description

SELF RELEASE CHECK DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a self-release check device. More specifically, the present invention relates to a self-release check device, and more specifically, immediately after the impact of a golf ball by a golf club, it detects the proximity state of the wrists of both hands during the release process and generates a set recognition signal to determine whether the wearer has performed the release operation. It is about a self-release check device that allows immediate recognition and effective release posture correction without the help of an expert.

In general, grips for holding a golf club include an overlapping grip, an interlocking grip, and a baseball grip, depending on how the right hand is placed on the left hand. Typically, the left hand holds the golf club stably. It serves as a supporting axis, and the right hand allows the head of the golf club to advance so that it can hit the ball.

Here, the correct grip is to minimize the role of the hands in swinging as much as possible so that the speed of the force generated by the body's rotational movement can be transmitted to the club head. The grip condition for this is to have both hands in harmony, that is, one hand Rather than using the other hand dominantly, both hands should lead the golf club with equal distribution of power to achieve a balanced swing.

In particular, the golf swing can generally be divided into eight stages. The eight stages of the golf swing are ADDRESS stage, TAKE AWAY stage, BACK SWING stage, TOP OF THE SWING stage, DOWNSWING stage, and IMPACT. It includes a step, a FOLLOW THROUGH step, and a FINISH step.

Here, the follow throw stage refers to a state in which the club head tries to go forward after impact, but the head is held behind, so the arms are naturally extended due to centrifugal force. A natural release should be maintained after impacting the ball. When the right hand comes over the left hand, it means that the club head is naturally released. After impact, the follower must maintain the triangle of both arms and the club as much as possible and throw widely in the direction of the target.

Additionally, the FINISH stage refers to when the swing stops after the follow throw. The finish involves a full turn of the hips and shoulders, and the club is naturally placed behind the head. With your eyes looking at the target, lift your right foot off the ground and place it on your left thigh. All weight is on the left foot and maintains balance. If you swing correctly, your hand position at the finish should be about 6 to 8 inches from your shoulders. If the hand position is too close or too far from the shoulder, it is evidence that the swing is not performed correctly. A well-balanced finish means the swing is done correctly.

Therefore, constant practice is necessary to ensure that the release movement is performed smoothly in the process from the follow throw to the finish, and in this practice process, expert help is required, so that a smooth release movement can be achieved during personal swing practice without the help of an expert. There is an urgent need to develop technology that allows you to know if you are losing.

As the technology behind the present invention, a portable golf swing impact and release exerciser is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0040631.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, the self-release check device according to the present invention is installed to be electrically connected to a wearable band 100 worn on either wrist of the golfer and the wearable band 100. It is configured to include a proximity sensing unit 200 and a collect signal unit 400 that detect the proximity crossing of the wrists and generate a set recognition signal when performing a release operation in which the wrists of both hands approach.

That is, the self-release check device according to the present invention detects the proximity state of the wrists of both hands in the proximity sensing unit 200 during the release process where the wrists of both hands rotate in the follow-through immediately after the impact of the golf ball by the golf club. By generating a set recognition signal through the collect signal unit 400, which is electrically connected to the proximity sensing unit 200, to inform the wearer whether the release operation is performed, the wearer can clearly determine whether the release operation is being performed well. This allows you to effectively perform release posture correction without the help of an expert.

The wearable band 100 is worn on either wrist of a golfer. The wearable band 100 is made of a ring-shaped band with elasticity, or has length adjustments on both sides in the longitudinal direction like a normal watch strap. It can be made so that it can correspond to the size of the wearer's wrist.

In addition, when the proximity sensing unit 200 is installed on the wearable band 100 and performs a release operation immediately after the impact of the golf ball, the wrist of the other hand approaches the wrist wearing the wearable band 100 and This is done to detect when they intersect.

In other words, among the 8 stages of the golf swing (Stage 1: ADDRESS stage, Stage 2: TAKE AWAY stage, Stage 3: BACK SWING stage, Stage 4: TOP OF THE SWING ) stage, 5th stage: DOWNSWING stage, 6th stage: IMPACT stage, 7th stage: FOLLOW THROUGH stage, 8th stage: FINISH stage) between stages 1 to 5. The wrists of both hands do not come close or cross, but immediately after the impact stage (step 6), the release movement in which the wrists of both hands cross each other at the starting point of the follow throw stage must be performed smoothly to help accurately hit the golf ball and improve distance. do.

However, in the case of beginner golfers or golfers with wrong habits, the release action of crossing the wrists of both hands immediately after impact is not performed smoothly, causing the left arm to be lifted, resulting in a slice pitch.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the proximity sensing unit 200 is installed on the wearable band 100 at a position corresponding to the direction of the wearer's palm to perform a release operation in which the left and right wrists are closely crossed immediately after the impact of the golf ball. It is being done so that it can be detected.

At this time, the proximity sensing unit 200 is directly mounted on one side of the collect signal unit 400 and is located inside the body case 300, so that the wearable band 100 is positioned in a position corresponding to the direction of the wearer's palm. The proximity sensing unit 200 is installed on the body case 300 or on the wearable band 100 at a position corresponding to the direction of the wearer's palm, and the wearable band at a position corresponding to the direction of the back of the wearer's hand ( 100), the collect signal unit 400 may be installed to have a structure in which the proximity sensing unit 200 and the collect signal unit 400 are electrically connected through a line.

In addition, the collect signal unit 400 is configured to receive the detection signal when a release operation is detected by the proximity sensing unit 200 and inform that the release operation has been performed correctly by a set recognition signal.

That is, the collect signal unit 400 is installed on the wearable band 100 while being electrically connected to the proximity sensing unit 200, receives the detection signal from the proximity sensing unit 200, and sends a set recognition signal. It is made to happen. At this time, the recognition signal may be any one of a signal sound with a certain wavelength, vibration, or light emission of a lamp.

The collect signal unit 400 as an embodiment includes a receiving unit 410 that receives a signal from the proximity sensing unit 200, and a recognition signal generated by the release detection signal received from the receiving unit 410. It may be configured to include a signal generator 420.

Here, when the recognition signal is a signal sound with a certain wavelength, the signal generator 420 may be made of a speaker module, and when the recognition signal is configured to generate vibration, the signal generator 420 It may be made of a vibration module, and if the recognition signal is made in the form of light emission, the signal generator 420 may be made of a lamp module.

At this time, if the signal generator 420 is a light emitting type, the lamp module may continue to emit light for several seconds so that the wearer can recognize it after the golf swing is completed.

In addition, the collect signal unit 400 includes a determination unit 430 that is electrically connected to the reception unit 410 and the signal generation unit 420 to determine the type of signal received from the reception unit 410, and the It may be configured to further include a sensing control unit 440 that is electrically connected to the determination unit 430 to turn off the sensing of the proximity sensing unit 200. At this time, it would be desirable for the sensing control unit 440 to be electrically connected to the proximity sensing unit 200.

That is, if the signal received from the receiving unit 410 is determined to be a release signal that detects the close crossing of the wrist, which is the performance of the release operation, immediately after impact, the signal is transmitted from the determining unit 430 to the signal generating unit 420. A recognition signal is generated by transmitting a signal, and when the signal received by the receiving unit 410 is determined to be a signal that turns off the sensing of the proximity sensing unit 200, the determining unit 430 detects the sensing control unit. By transmitting a signal to (440), the power applied to the proximity sensing unit 200 can be turned off. This means that when the golf ball is not hit by a golf club, the proximity sensing unit 200 This is to prevent unnecessary recognition signals from being generated due to the user's carelessness while resting or waiting by limiting sensing.

Looking at this as an example, if the signal received from the receiving unit 410 is a signal that occurs once in a period of 1 to 2 seconds, the determination unit 430 releases the signal received from the receiving unit 410 It is determined as a signal so that a recognition signal can be generated from the signal generator 420, and if the signal received from the receiver 410 is a signal that occurs intermittently several times in a period of 1 to 2 seconds (if the wearer has both hands (performing an operation of approaching the wrist several times), the determination unit 430 determines the signal received from the receiver 410 as the sensing OFF signal of the proximity sensing unit 200 and detects the signal through the sensing control unit 440. This is to turn off the power to the proximity sensing unit 200.

Afterwards, when turning on the proximity sensing unit 200 to perform a golf ball strike, the proximity sensing unit ( 200) will be able to perform sensing.

Additionally, the collect signal unit 400 may be provided with a counting unit 450 that can count the number of times a release operation is performed.

That is, the number of times a recognition signal is received by the receiver 410 and generated through the signal generator 420 is counted and displayed on the display unit 110 installed on the wearable band 100, so that the wearer can This allows you to immediately determine how many times the correct release movement was performed during the golf swing. At this time, it would be desirable for the display unit 110 to be electrically connected to the collect signal unit 400.

In addition, when the wearable band 100 is worn on a golf glove 10, it is detachably attached to the wrist extension part 11 of the golf glove 10 located on the wearer's wrist via an attachment means. It could be.

At this time, the wearable band 100 is a ring-shaped band with elasticity, so that after wearing the golf glove 10, it can be mounted on the wrist extension 11 through an attachment means, but is preferably of a length. After wearing the golf glove 10 in a state in which both sides have a structure in which the length can be adjusted and mounted on the wrist extension 11 via the attachment means, the wearable band ( 100) will be able to adjust the length.

In addition, the attachment means may be, for example, a male and female Velcro means, and one of the male and female Velcro is attached to the wrist extension 11, and the other one of the male and female Velcro is attached to the wearable band 100. It may be made to have a structure that attaches.

Here, the attachment means is described as a male and female Velcro means, but it is not limited to this and it should be noted that there may be various embodiments such as adhesive means or buttons.

Additionally, the proximity sensing unit 200 may be installed in the wearable band 100 to be movable in the width direction of the wrist. In other words, the wearer can adjust the position of the proximity sensing unit 200 according to various situations such as the wearer's wrist size or swing posture to set a sensing position that suits the wearer.

At this time, the proximity sensing unit 200 is directly mounted on one side of the collect signal unit 400, and the proximity sensing unit 200 and the collect signal unit 400 are accommodated by a separate body case 300. In the case where the body case 300 is installed in the long mounting hole 120 of the wearable band 100 and is movable along the mounting hole 120, the proximity sensing unit ( 200) will be able to adjust the position.

In addition, the proximity sensing unit 200 is installed in the wearable band 100 at a position corresponding to the direction of the wearer's palm, and the collect signal unit is installed in the wearable band 100 at a position corresponding to the direction of the back of the wearer's hand. When 400 is installed, the proximity sensing unit 200 may be installed to be movable in the width direction of the wrist.

At this time, the proximity sensing unit 200 as an embodiment includes a moving body 210 mounted on the mounting hole 120 formed in the wearable band 100, and the curl while installed on the moving body 210. It may be configured to include a sensor module 220 that is electrically connected to the rect signal unit 400 and detects the proximity of the wrist crossing. At this time, it would be desirable for the mounting hole 120 to be formed to have a certain length in the width direction of the wrist.

That is, the position of the sensor module 220 can be adjusted by reciprocating the moving body 210 along the longitudinal direction of the mounting hole 120. In addition, when the moving body 210 is moved to a certain position, the movement of the moving body 210 is limited by the mutual friction between the wearable band 100 and the moving body 210, but preferably the mounting hole ( 120), a plurality of locking grooves 121 are formed at regular intervals on the inside, and a locking protrusion 211 is formed on the moving body 210, so that when the moving body 210 is moved to a certain position, the corresponding It may be configured to limit the movement of the moving body 210 by inserting the locking protrusion 211 into the locking groove at the position.

In addition, in the present invention, separately from the sensing on switch 460, a power switch 470 can be installed to turn on/off the power of the proximity sensing unit 200 and the collect signal unit 400. , a rechargeable or replaceable battery 500 may be installed.

Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail as described above, those skilled in the art will be able to make various modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention.
