Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a pace maker which can set a target for running or swimming how long distance and at how fast speed, and can lead a runner or a swimmer as per setting by constituting the pace maker so that it is formed by a guidance body for guiding a player by a light beam, a controller for setting and controlling a pace, and a member for connecting the guidance body and the pace controller, and also, the guidance body is formed by light beam generating members divided into plural pieces, and also, connected electrically, controlled by the pace controller and flickered successively. CONSTITUTION:When data is inputted to a pace controller 1 of a pace maker, the lighting time of one piece of guidance body is calculated by a computing element. Subsequently, the calculated lighting time is set to a digital timer, and when the pace controller starts, a digital timer 16 of a first guidance body is turned on, and simultaneously, a light emitting member is turned on. Next, when the set time elapses, the digital timer 16 is turned off and the light emitting member is turned off, and simultaneously, an ON-signal is outputted to a digital timer of a second guidance body. The signal is sent successively. In such a way, a pace corresponding to the own capacity is set, training can be executed alone, and also, the pace can become a target.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a pacemaker used for exercise training, and particularly to a light-induced pacemaker suitable for track events, swimming, and the like.

[Conventional technology] There are many types of sports competitions, but those such as track races and swimming, which require practice with pacing in mind, are difficult to practice. For example, in a LO or OOO meter race where you run 25 laps around a 400 meter track, what pace should you run that is best for you?
For example, you want to run 00 meters at a pace of 68 seconds, but you don't have a pacemaker. It was difficult to practice on my own. Recently, with the digitization of wristwatches, there are also 717 versions of wristwatches with pacemaker functions. The main ones are: (1) those that can measure laps, (2) those that can produce bass sounds, and (3) those that can produce bass sounds by setting several paces. Each method is simple, but each has its drawbacks. This is because, with devices that can measure laps, you have to press an operation button each time, and you can only check the results. There's no way you can afford to look at your lap times when you're running like crazy, and at most you press buttons at the lap time measurement point and then later consider whether it was too fast or too slow.

The one that makes a pace sound sets a pace that matches the pitch of the person and makes the pace sound, but it only reflects the pace of the person's foot movement and does not take into account the gait RlJ, so the total time cannot be managed. Currently, even if pace sounds and lap measurements are combined, they are not very useful for training.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Although the present invention is intended to solve the drawbacks of the prior art, its purpose is to completely satisfy the functions required of a pacemaker. That is, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pacemaker that allows a user to set a goal of how far and how fast (pace) to run or swim, and which guides the runner or swimmer according to the settings. It also allows for individual practice.

[Means to solve the problem]

It consists of a guide that guides the athlete with light, a base controller that sets and controls the pace, and a member that connects the guide and the pace controller, and the guide is a light-generating member that is divided into a plurality of parts. [Example J] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining the present invention.

(1) is a pace controller, (2) is a derivative, (3)
is a connecting member. When data is input to the pace controller (1) and the pace controller (1) is started, the guides (2) light up sequentially.0 For example, if 25 m is made up of 100 guides and you set it to move between them in 20 seconds, 1 guide will turn on. The lighting time is 0.2 seconds.

FIG. 2 is a circuit block diagram for explaining the functions of the pace controller. (4) is an external operation member for inputting data, and is connected to the input circuit (5). The input circuit (5) is connected to a plurality of memories (1 to 4 in this embodiment) and inputs data to each memory. It is also connected to a timer (13). The display device (6) is used for monitoring input data and is connected to the input circuit (5). (7), (8), (9), and (10) are memory 1, memory 2, memory 3, and memory 4, respectively, and are connected to the arithmetic unit (12).

An oscillator (11) is connected to the arithmetic unit (12),
It processes the data in each memory and issues instructions to the derivative (2). The number of derivatives is input in memory 1 (7), and the set time is input in memory 2 (8).

The number of operations is entered in memory 3 (9). The operating specifications are input into memory 4 (10).

For example, input the number of dielectrics as 100 in memory 1 (7) (connect 100 dielectrics of 25 cm each to create a 25 m long
), enter 20 seconds in memory 2 (8) (when swimming 25 m at a pace of 20 seconds), enter 8 times in memory 3 (9) (when swimming 200 m)
. Memory 4 (10) is set to "round trip" (in the case of a pool, it is a round trip, and in the case of a truck, it is set to "rotation"). Based on 4 data greater than or equal to 0, the arithmetic unit (12) calculates the lighting time of one derivative as 0. .2 seconds, the number of repetitions is 8, and it is treated as a reciprocating motion. When the pace controller (1) is started by an external operating member, the timer (13) is activated.
After the set time has elapsed, a signal is issued from the computing unit (12) to activate the dielectric (2). The derivatives numbered 1 to 100 are lit one after another with a lighting time of 0.2 seconds, and the 100th one lights up and goes out after 20 seconds. Next, number 100 lights up and the sequence goes backwards. It operates 8 times and ends. Swimmers can swim at the desired pace while watching the illuminated guide. In the case of a track, just by setting memory (4) to "rotation", it similarly becomes a pacemaker. The length of the derivative may be prepared according to the purpose, such as 25 cm, 50 cm%
l m-・-, etc.

Next, the derivatives will be explained. FIG. 3 is a block diagram for explaining the derivative. Each dielectric is independent and has a light emitting member (14), a drive circuit (15), a digital timer (16), and consists of wiring as a power source, a part of a connector, and an exterior (not shown). .

When data is input to the pace controller (1), a computing unit calculates the lighting time of one inductor. The calculated lighting time is set in the digital timer. When the pace controller starts, the first derivative digital timer (1
6) is turned on, and at the same time, the light emitting member is lit by the drive circuit (15). When the set time has passed, the digital timer (1
6) is turned off, the light emitting member goes out, and at the same time an on signal is sent to the digital timer of the second derivative. Signals will be sent sequentially. A digital timer can be used as a counter as long as it performs the same function.

〔Effect of the invention〕

According to the present invention, the pace is set according to one's ability,
- It has the unprecedented effect of allowing people to practice.

The light-induced pacemaker of the present invention only needs to be installed in a pool or playing field, and does not require any special construction.
It is convenient in that existing equipment can be used as is. Unlike traditional watches, you don't have to check the time or press buttons on the way, you just follow the light, and the pace you want to go with the light on is exactly what you want, so unlike just checking the pitch, it becomes a goal. obtain.
