This creative department provides a foot pedal structure for sports equipment, especially a kind of pressure sensing signal is generated by the pressure sensing element, and then the rotation sensing element is sensed by the rotation sensing element to generate the rotation sensing signal, A detection and transmission device that provides riders as reference information during exercise.

Riding a bicycle is a common leisure and fitness activity for modern people. With proper exercise to adjust physiological functions, such as improving cardiopulmonary function, it also has a good effect on the exercise of back muscles, buttocks and lower limbs, so as to meet the health needs. Because it is quite popular with sports people who like sports.

Because when riding a bicycle, you must continue to step on the pedals to allow the bicycle to move to achieve the effect of sports. However, if you don’t have control, you only know that you pedal hard, which will not only lose the effect of sports and fitness, but it will make it easier to ride for a long time. Occupants produce sports injuries. Therefore, existing sports bicycles already have the ability to record the rider's movement status or sensing function, and can record the sports signal with the pedaling action for the rider to use as reference information during exercise, and thus make the rider in the exercise process Adjust sports habits and improve riding efficiency.

However, the setting of the conventional technology on the sensor is not accurate. When the rider steps on, the pedal rotor does not necessarily step on the sensor, and may also step on the sensor between the sensor Position, so the pedaling force sensed by the sensor is not correct, it is not the real pedaling force, so its accuracy is not good.

In addition, the sensing device used to calculate the number of rotations is set in the pedal body, and the signal sensed by the sensing device must also be transmitted through the wiring and connected to the external electronic component before its signal can be carried out. Related processing, therefore, conventional technology is not a good design.

Or, another conventional patent can be equipped with pressure sensing units on the outer edges of the two sides of the casing of the foot pedal to perform related pressure sensing. However, during pressure sensing, because the interior of the casing is hollow, Therefore, when the casing is subjected to the pedaling force of the rider, there is no relevant supporting force inside the casing to support the casing, so it is easy to cause deviation of the obtained pressure value.

However, the sleeve 200 and the The way in which the pedals 100 are connected to each other in this embodiment is through a locking element 500 to set the locking element 500 in the first accommodating space 120, and the pedal 100 and the sleeve 200 are connected,进以fit the sleeve 200. A plurality of pressure sensing elements 610 and a connecting circuit board 600 are provided on the outer edge of the sleeve 200, wherein each pressure sensing element 610 is distributed on the sleeve 200 at intervals, and the connecting circuit board 600 Is looped around the middle position of the sleeve 200, and the connecting circuit board 600 is connected to each pressure sensing element 610 to receive at least one pressure sensing signal 611 generated by each pressure sensing element 610 . A sensing window 210 is further provided on the outer edge of the sleeve 200. The sensing window 210 is a penetrating space. A rotation sensing element 620 is provided outside the sensing window 210. The rotation sensing element 620 is also connected to the The connection circuit board 600 is connected.

One end of the axis 300 penetrates into the sleeve 200, so that part of the axis 300 is accommodated in the first accommodating space 120, and the axis 300 is pivotally connected with the sleeve 200, the A rotating device under test 700 is provided on the outer edge of one end of the axis 300, and the rotating device under test 700 is disposed at a position opposite to the sensing window 210, so that the rotating sensor device 620 senses the rotating device under test The element 700 generates a rotation sensing signal 621. There is a bearing 310 between the shaft 300 and the sleeve 200, the bearing 310 can provide relative rotation between the shaft 300 and the sleeve 200 (when the sleeve 200 rotates, it will drive the Pedal 100 to turn); In addition, the set A sleeve 220 is further sleeved on the barrel 200 so that the sleeve 200 is located in the first accommodating space 120 between the sleeve 220 and the locking element 500, and the shaft 300 and the sleeve 220 At least one bearing 320 may be provided between the shaft center 300 and the sleeve 200 to provide maintenance-free, corrosion-resistant, shock-resistant, dust-resistant, and low-noise effects.

The control circuit board 400 is disposed in the second accommodating space 130, and the control circuit board 400 is provided with a connector 410, a signal processing module 420, and a transmission module 430. The connector 410 is used for It is connected with the connecting circuit board 600 to receive the pressure sensing signal 611 or the rotation sensing signal 621. The signal processing module 420 is connected to the connecting piece 410 and the transmission module 430 to receive the pressure sensing signal 611 or the rotation sensing signal 621, and the pressure sensing signal 611 or the rotation sensing signal 621 is transmitted to the transmission module 430, and the pressure sensing signal 611 or the rotation sensing signal 621 is sent to a display element through the transmission module 430, and the display element may be a display of a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or other electronic devices , For the rider to use as reference information during exercise.

In addition, the footrest structure of the sports equipment further includes a power supply unit 800, which is provided in the second accommodating space 130 to provide the control circuit board 400, the connection circuit board 600 and each The power for the pressure sensing element 610 to work.

In this way, with the technical features disclosed above, when the rider rides the bicycle to step on the foot portion 110, the limiting portion 111 is provided on the foot portion 110 to restrict the rider's stepping Position, so when the rider steps on the pedal 100, the foot can be effectively stepped on each of the pressure sensing elements 610. When each pressure-sensing element 610 senses the pressure on which it pedals, each pressure-sensing element 610 will sense a change in the position on which the rider is stepping, so as to obtain the space on the foot portion of the rider The motion information of the angular position to generate the pressure sensing signal 611, Then, the pressure sensing signal 611 is transmitted to the signal processing module 420 through the connecting circuit board 600 to perform signal related processing.

In addition, the pedal that is stepped on can be connected to the crank of the bicycle through the axis 300, so when the rider rides the bicycle, the axis 300 is connected to the crank, and the pedal 100 is connected to the set The barrel 200 is rotated on the axis 300, and because the control circuit board 400 is provided with the rotation sensing element 620, and the axis 300 is provided with the rotation to-be-measured element 700 to rotate with the rotation The sensing element 620 senses, so when the pedal 100 rotates on the axis 300, the rotation sensing element 620 will also rotate around the axis 300.

When the rotation-sensing element 620 leaves the position opposite to the rotation-to-be-measured element 700 due to rotation, the rotation-sensing element 620 cannot sense the rotation-to-be-measured element 700, and when the rotation-sensing element When 620 returns to the position directly opposite to the rotating device under test 700, the rotating sensor device 620 will sense the rotating device under test 700 again. Therefore, the rotating sensor device 620 repeatedly senses the When the device under test 700 is rotated, the rotation sensor device 620 can generate a rotation sensing signal 621 by sensing the information of the device under test 700. The generation period of the rotation sensing signal 621 may be that the rotation sensing signal 621 is generated each time the rotation sensing element 620 senses the rotation to-be-tested element 700, or by the rotation feeling The measuring device 620 senses the number of times the rotating device under test 700 is rotated within a period (for example, 1 second, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, or other time periods) to generate the rotation sensing signal 621.

The aforementioned rotating test element 700 is composed of a magnetic element, and the sensing window 210 provided on the sleeve 200 is a penetration space to provide the rotating sensing element 620 to sense the rotating test element 700, so When the rotation sensing element 620 leaves the position directly opposite to the sensed portion 71 due to the rotation, the rotation sensing element 620 cannot sense the rotation to-be-measured element 700, When the rotation-sensing element 620 returns to the position directly opposite to the rotation-to-be-measured element 700, the rotation-sensing element 620 will sense the rotated-to-be-measured element 700 again, thereby repeatedly sensing the Rotate the device under test 700 to generate the rotation sensing signal 621.

Finally, the signal processing module 420 will receive the pressure sensing signal 611 and/or the rotation sensing signal 621 for related signal processing, and then transmit its signal to the transmission module 430, by which The transmission module 430 sends the processed signal to the display element, so that the rider can know the applied state or the angular position of the pedal 100 by the display element, or the distance and the riding distance What is the number of laps and so on, and then provided to the rider as reference information during exercise.

Furthermore, the rotating DUT 700 is a ring-shaped or C-shaped magnet. The rotating DUT 700 has at least one positive induction magnetic pole 710 and one negative induction magnetic pole 720 (it may also have more than two positive induction magnetic poles 710 and Two or more negative induction magnetic poles 720), and the rotation sensing element 620 is provided with at least two rotation sensing elements 620 to interact with each of the positive induction magnetic pole 710 and the negative induction magnetic pole 720, for example In other words, when the rotating element under test 700 is driven and rotated by the axis 300, each of the rotating sensing elements 620 will continue to sense the positive magnetic pole 710 and the negative magnetic pole 720, however, due to the rotational sense The installation position of the sensing element 620 has a deviation (even if the two rotation sensing elements 620 are arranged in parallel, their sensing positions are different), so it is assumed that one of the rotation sensing elements 620 first senses the positive sensing magnetic pole 710, When the other rotation sensing element 620 senses the positive induction magnetic pole 710, it can be determined that the pedal 100 is rotating clockwise, but if the other rotation sensing element 620 senses the positive induction magnetic pole first 710, and then when one of the rotation sensing elements 620 senses the positive magnetic pole 710, it can be determined that the pedal 100 is rotating counterclockwise.

In addition, through the conversion of the positive induction magnetic pole 710 and the negative induction magnetic pole 720, the number of stomp turns can also be calculated, for example, when the two rotation sensing elements 620 sense the positive induction magnetic pole 710 and the negative induction magnetic pole 720, respectively , Two rotation sensing signals 621 are generated individually (one rotation sensing signal 621 is generated when the rotation sensing element 620 senses the positively-inducing magnetic pole 710), so when the signal processing module 420 receives When the rotation-sensing signal 621 is detected, it can be judged that the number of laps it treads is one lap, and so on. Finally, the display element displays its information to the rider for reference.

In addition, this creation is applicable to various pedal modeling structures. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, this is the second embodiment of the creation. The difference from the previous structure is that the second embodiment has another modeling The pedal 100a has another shaped pedal portion 110a, and the remaining sleeve 200, the axis 300, and the control circuit board 400 are the same as the main embodiment.

Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, this is the third embodiment of the creation, which also has a uniquely shaped pedal 100b, and the pedal 100b has another shaped pedal portion 110b. The difference between the foregoing embodiments is that the position of the second accommodating space 130b in which the pedal 100b is used to place the control circuit board 400 is different from other embodiments, but the sleeve 200, the axis 300, and the control circuit board 400 are still different from other embodiments. The embodiments are the same, and the structure will not be repeated here.

The detailed description above is a specific description of a feasible embodiment of this creation, but this embodiment is not intended to limit the patent scope of this creation, and any equivalent implementation or change that does not deviate from the spirit of this creative art should include In the patent scope of this case.
