Description
- (a) Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a dumbbell that can respond to exercise status and play music, and more particularly to a dumbbell that can output a voice, music, and message associated with an action of exercise.
- (b) Description of the Prior Art
- Referring to
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , it shows a perspective view and an assembly view of aconventional dumbbell 4 comprising primarily threadedsleeves 41 located at a front and a rear end.Caps 1 are locked onto the threadedsleeves 41, respectively, thereby constituting thedumbbell 4. As using this kind of conventional dumbbell is quite dull and boring, a user needs to rely on a strong will power and perseverance in order to continue exercising. Therefore, there has never been an exercising appliance that can allow a user to willingly keep on using due to a fun and sense of achievability. With a weight of a dumbbell itself, a user must resist the gravitational force and inertia of movement upon moving the dumbbell, so as to create an exercise effect, such as pulling, tightening, relaxing, and releasing, to muscles of arms, breasts, and back of a human body. However, the conventional dumbbell is a very awkward object and therefore manifests certain monotone and baldness in keeping a mechanical exercise. Unless being accompanied by someone else or having a great perseverance and determination, a user would give up by not having an immediate and significant outcome after using it for a period of time. This means that after using the dumbbell, the user cannot have or feel a sense of achievability from exercising, such as that how many times of exercising have been done, is time duration of a current exercise longer than that of a previous exercise, how much energy is consumed for the current exercise, or whether he or she wants to take a break after taking the exercise for a while. Accordingly, although the conventional dumbbell can achieve an effect of exercising, a user is easy to give up due to being bored and lack of sense of achievability. Therefore, it is apparently that a further improvement is necessary. - Accordingly, the inventor has found that there are two major reasons for giving up exercise with a dumbbell, including a lack of sense of achievability and a lack of fun. The sense of achievability lies in a number of times of exercising, whether time duration of exercising exceeding a personal limit, and an energy consumption in a current exercise. On the other hand, the fun of exercise lies in whether an easy and funny environment is available during exercising. A willingness of using a dumbbell by a user will be increased if the dumbbell can be improved on these two respects, thereby achieving purposes of exercising and working out.
- The primary object of the present invention is to provide a dumbbell that can respond to exercise status and play music, wherein a control circuit is emplaced in the dumbbell for receiving a signal of exercising, performing calculation and summation based on a condition of exercising with the dumbbell, and displaying outcomes or playing voice or music associated with exercising. The control circuit includes a display unit for displaying messages of a number of times of exercising, time duration of exercising, and an energy consumption; a micro processor for receiving a signal of exercising, calculating time duration, number of times and an energy consumption for a continuous exercise based on settings of press buttons, and controlling an output of voice, music, and the display unit; a voice generation circuit, which is contained in the micro processor, for outputting a voice signal to a trumpet when the number of times or the time duration of exercising calculated by the micro processor reach a setting; a music generation circuit, which is contained in the micro processor, for continuously outputting music signal to a trumpet based on a signal of exercising which is continuously received by the micro processor; a sensor unit, which is a rolling ball switch for the present invention, for sensing every exercise taken by a user, and transmitting this signal to the control circuit in the dumbbell; and a press button of mode setup for switching between a normal mode and a record mode of maximum number of times, longest time duration, for encouraging a user to make a new record and thereby increasing a willingness of using due to an acquirement of sense of achievability.
- Accordingly, based on a number of times of exercising, the micro processor of the present invention will timely output a voice signal to encourage and cheer up a user through the voice generation circuit. In addition, music can be played by a switching of a press button, so as to enable a user to listen to the music at the same time of doing an exercise, and to keep on exercising by a companion of music in a strong rhythm.

In the mean time, thevoice generation circuit 51 sends out a voice of “Please hold for 2 seconds.” After 2 seconds, a voice of “Please start.” is sent out. When the user is doing exercise with the dumbbell, every single movement will trigger the sensor unit to transmit a signal to the micro processor for recording a number of times, which will be accumulated with an increase of the number of times of exercising. - At the same time of doing a first exercise, a counting of time duration starts, until a user stops exercising. The
micro processor 5 will synchronously change a number of times of exercising into energy consumption, drive the display unit to display a number of times, time duration and energy consumption, and record values for comparing with next coming data. The user can again make a choice with the mode setup button.
