Description

Messeinrichtung für TrainingsgeräteMeasuring device for training devices
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Trainingskontrolle an Trainingsgeräten mit mindestens einer beweglichen Komponente mit einer Messwertaufnahmeeinrichtung zur Detektierung der Wegstrecke, die von der bewegten Komponente zurückgelegt wird.The invention relates to a device for training control on training devices with at least one movable component with a measured value recording device for detecting the distance traveled by the moving component.
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Das Training an Trainingsgeräten zur Stärkung und zum Aufbau des Bewegungsapparates erfreut sich großer Beliebtheit, da das Training gezielt auf eine bestimmte Körperregion ausgerichtet ist und die Intensität individuell geregelt werden kann. Dies nützt insbesondere Sportlern, die ihre Muskeln kontrolliert aufbauen wollen oder im Rehabilitationsbereich, wo durch Trauma oder Krankheit ge- schwächte Muskelpartien gestärkt werden sollen. In der Regel hat die Trainingsperson mit einem bestimmten Körperteil eine Bewegung auszuführen und dabei einen vom Traininggerät geleisteten Widerstand zu überwinden. Dieser Widerstand kann zum Beispiel in Form eines Gewichts, einer Feder oder einer Hydraulik bereit gestellt werden.Training on training equipment to strengthen and build up the musculoskeletal system is very popular because the training is aimed specifically at a specific body region and the intensity can be individually regulated. This is particularly useful for athletes who want to build up their muscles in a controlled manner or in the rehabilitation area, where muscle areas weakened by trauma or illness are to be strengthened. As a rule, the training person has to execute a movement with a certain part of the body and thereby overcome a resistance provided by the training device. This resistance can be provided, for example, in the form of a weight, a spring or a hydraulic system.
Zur Kontrolle und zur Vorwahl eines bestimmten Trainingsprogramms ist es notwendig, das Trainingsprogramm zu protokollieren und gegebenenfalls zu kontrollieren. Dazu sind verschiedene Verfahren und Vorrichtungen bekannt.To check and pre-select a specific training program, it is necessary to log the training program and, if necessary, to check it. Various methods and devices are known for this.
In der Europäischen Patentanmeldung EP 0691 140 AI ist eine Vorrichtung vorgestellt, die dem Benutzer ein Feedback über sein Training an einem Gewichthebegerät liefert. Die Vorrichtung be- sitzt Mittel, um die Anzahl der gehobenen Gewichte zu ermitteln, die Wegstrecke der gehobenen Gewichte zu messen, elektronische Mittel, um diese Daten aufzunehmen, anzuzeigen und zu speichern. Ferner kann die Vorrichtung die Geschwindigkeit feststellen, mit der die Gewichte gehoben werden. Zur Messaufnahme werden lichtemp- findliche und magnetische Sensoren vorgeschlagen.In the European patent application EP 0691 140 AI a device is presented which provides the user with feedback about his training on a weightlifting device. The device has means for determining the number of weights lifted, measuring the distance traveled by the weights lifted, electronic means for recording, displaying and storing this data. The device can also determine the speed at which the weights are lifted. Light-sensitive and magnetic sensors are proposed for measuring.
In weiteren Veröffentlichungen sind induktive, optoelektronische, mechanische und elektromechanische Mittel vorgestellt, mit denen die Bewegung von Gewichten an Trainingsgeräten gemessen wird.In further publications, inductive, optoelectronic, mechanical and electromechanical means are presented with which the movement of weights on exercise equipment is measured.
Nachteile des Standes der TechnikDisadvantages of the prior art
Die bekannten Systeme zur Wegstreckenerfassung sind teilweise so kompliziert aufgebaut, dass sie bereits bei der Konzeption des Trainingsgeräts miteingeplant werden müssen. Beispielsweise hat ein lichtempfindlicher Sensor in einer für ein Trainingsgerät typischerweise nicht staubfreien Umgebung eine hohe Ausfallwahrscheinlichkeit, wenn er nicht entsprechend gekapselt in das Trainingsgerät integriert ist.The known systems for distance detection are sometimes so complicated that they have to be included in the design of the training device. For example a light-sensitive sensor in an environment that is typically not dust-free for a training device has a high probability of failure if it is not encapsulated accordingly in the training device.
Alle nicht berührungsfreien Messsysteme erfordern einen Einbau in das Trainingsgerät, müssen daher bei der Konstruktion des Geräts mit eingeplant werden und erfahren bei dem Training überdies eine Abnutzung.All non-contact-free measuring systems require installation in the training device, must therefore be included in the design of the device and also experience wear during training.
Bei Messsystemen, die in das Trainingsgerät integriert sind, entstehen hohe Kosten beim Aufbau und beim Austausch abgenutzter oder, beschädigter Bauteile. Die Nachrüstung eines Trainingsgeräts mit einem solchen Messsystem ist wenn nicht unmöglich, so doch nur un- ter erheblichem Aufwand vornehmbar.With measuring systems that are integrated in the training device, high costs arise when assembling and replacing worn or damaged components. Retrofitting a training device with such a measuring system is, if not impossible, can only be carried out with considerable effort.
Die bekannten Systeme zur Wegstreckenerfassung sind vorwiegend auf die Anwendung an Trainingsgeräten ausgelegt, die mit dem Hub von Gewichten arbeiten. Die damit verbundenen Messprinzipien, zum Bei- spiel Dehnungsmessstreifen oder Messung nach dem Lichtschrankenprinzip, lassen sich nicht in einfacher Weise auf andere Trainingsgeräte übertragen.The known systems for distance detection are primarily designed for use on training devices that work with the lifting of weights. The associated measuring principles, for example strain gauges or measurements based on the light barrier principle, cannot simply be transferred to other training devices.
Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Trainingskontrolle an Trainingsgeräten zu schaffen, die an allen Trainingsgeräten mit beweglichen Komponenten einsetzbar ist und die ein einfaches, robustes und ausfallsicheres Messsystem auf- weist. Lösung der AufgabeThe invention has for its object to provide a device for training control on training devices that can be used on all training devices with movable components and that has a simple, robust and fail-safe measuring system. Solution of the task
Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass die Vorrichtung zur Trainingskontrolle mit einer berührungslosen und akustischen Messauf- nahmeeinrichtung versehen wird.The object is achieved in that the device for training control is provided with a contactless and acoustic measuring recording device.
Vorteile der ErfindungAdvantages of the invention
Ein wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass eine akustische Messaufnahmeeinrichtung insbesondere , wenn sie im Ultraschallbereich operiert, unabhängig von den Umgebungsbedingungen eine verlässliche Messung liefert. Es spielt keine Rolle, ob Temperatur- oder Luftfeuchtigkeitsschwankungen oder ob viele Staub- partikel vorhanden sind. Gerade dies sind die Bedingungen, wie man sie in Sporthallen, Fitnessstudios oder generell an Trainingsorten vorfindet, die meist nicht perfekt klimatisiert sind, an denen sich unterschiedlich viele Menschen aufhalten, Wärme produzieren und ausdünsten.An important advantage of the invention is that an acoustic measurement recording device, in particular when it is operating in the ultrasound range, delivers a reliable measurement regardless of the ambient conditions. It does not matter whether there are fluctuations in temperature or humidity or whether there are many dust particles. These are precisely the conditions that can be found in sports halls, fitness studios or in general at training locations that are usually not perfectly air-conditioned, where different numbers of people stay, produce heat and evaporate.
Zudem ist ein akustisches Messsystem kostengünstig zu erwerben. Aufgrund seines einfachen und robusten Messprinzips erfordert es keine besonderen Gerätevorkehrungen hinsichtlich der Montage. Daher besitzt eine Vorrichtung zur Trainingskontrolle mit einer akustischen Messaufnahmeeinrichtung aus ökonomischen und systemtechnischen Gründen die besten Vorraussetzungen, an unterschiedlichen und vielen Trainingsgeräten angebracht zu werden und eine große Verbreitung zu erfahren.In addition, an acoustic measuring system can be purchased inexpensively. Due to its simple and robust measuring principle, no special device precautions are required with regard to assembly. Therefore, a device for training control with an acoustic measurement recording device has the best prerequisites for economic and system-technical reasons to be attached to different and many training devices and to be widely used.
Ein akustisches Messsystem basiert darauf, dass ein akustisches Signal abgegeben und wieder aufgenommen wird. Über die Dauer der Zwischenzeit und eventuell über die Veränderung des Signals lassen sich relevante Informationen gewinnen. Das Signal kann als reflektiertes Signal am Ort des Aussendens aufgenommen werden.An acoustic measuring system is based on the fact that an acoustic signal is emitted and resumed. Over the duration of the In the meantime and possibly about the change in the signal, relevant information can be obtained. The signal can be recorded as a reflected signal at the point of emission.
Vorteilhafterweise ist die Messaufnahmeeinrichtung jedoch zweiteilig aufgebaut und besteht aus einem Sender und einem Empfänger. Der Sender kann mit der bewegten Komponente des Trainingsgeräts verbunden sein, der Empfänger mit einem ruhenden Teil oder umgekehrt. Ein Messsignal ist nur nötig, wenn sich Sender und Empfän- ger nahe kommen. Es ist daher nicht notwendig, dass das ausgesandte Signal nicht sehr leistungsstark ist.However, the measurement recording device is advantageously constructed in two parts and consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter can be connected to the moving component of the training device, the receiver to a stationary part or vice versa. A measurement signal is only necessary if the transmitter and receiver come close. It is therefore not necessary that the signal sent out is not very powerful.
Sender und Empfänger übertragen ihre Signale, in der Regel über Kabelverbindungen, an eine zentrale Messvorrichtung, in der die Signale in Daten umgewandelt werden.Transmitters and receivers transmit their signals, usually via cable connections, to a central measuring device, in which the signals are converted into data.
Bei jeder Begegnung von der an einer bewegten Komponente des Trainingsgeräts angebrachten Teil der Messaufnahmeeinrichtung und dessen Gegenstück wird ein Signal generiert. Vorteilhafterweise zählt die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung die Anzahl der Bewegungen, die von der trainierenden Person an dem Trainingsgerät ausgeführt werden. In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführungen wird die Geschwindigkeit der bewegten Komponente detektiert.A signal is generated each time the part of the measurement recording device attached to a moving component of the training device meets its counterpart. The device according to the invention advantageously counts the number of movements which are carried out by the exercising person on the training device. In a further advantageous embodiment, the speed of the moving component is detected.
Vorteilhafterweise wird auch die Kraft, die zum Hub der beweglichen Komponente notwendig ist, mitaufgenommen. Dazu kann entweder an der Vorrichtung ein zusätzlicher Kraftmesser angebracht sein, oder die Erfassung erfolgt indirekt, beispielsweise dadurch, dass eine Komponente der akustischen Messaufnahmeeinrichtung an einem Stift angebracht wird, der eine bestimmte Anzahl von Gewichtseinheiten an einem Trainingsgerät mit beweglichen Gewichten festlegt. Auch die Entfernung des Stifts zu dem Empfänger kann im Ruhezustand des Trainingsgeräts die entsprechende Grosse der eingestellten Gewichte liefern. Der zurückgelegten Weg der Messkomponente ist ein Maß für die aufgewandte Kraft. Daher können alle Parameter entsprechend ausgewertet werden (Leistung, Beschleunigung etc.).Advantageously, the force required to lift the movable component is also included. For this purpose, either an additional dynamometer can be attached to the device, or the detection takes place indirectly, for example by attaching a component of the acoustic measurement recording device to a pin, which fixes a specific number of weight units on a training device with movable weights. The distance of the pen to the receiver can also provide the corresponding size of the set weights when the training device is at rest. The distance traveled by the measuring component is a measure of the force applied. Therefore, all parameters can be evaluated accordingly (power, acceleration, etc.).
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung verfügt die Vorrichtung über eine Messwertanzeige. Dies kann durch eine einfache Analog- oder Digitalanzeige oder aber auch mit einem Monitor realisiert werden.In an advantageous development, the device has a measured value display. This can be done with a simple analog or digital display or with a monitor.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung ist diese mit einer Schnittstelle zur Datenein- und oder -ausgäbe ausgestattet. Über diese Schnittstelle kann die Vorrichtung mit einem externen Datenspeicher, zum Beispiel einer zentralen Rech- nereinheit, oder mit einem weiteren Messgerät verbunden werden.In a further embodiment of the device according to the invention, it is equipped with an interface for data input and output. Via this interface, the device can be connected to an external data storage device, for example a central computer unit, or to another measuring device.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Weiterbildung umfasst die Vorrichtung eine Speichermedium zur Messwertspeicherung. Das Speichermedium kann entweder fest in der Vorrichtung installiert oder beweg- lieh sein. Insbesondere in der beweglichen Variante ist eine personenbezogene und individuelle Datenspeicherung für die jeweiligen Trainingspersonen möglich. Der Speicher kann der Vorrichtung zur Trainingskontrolle vor dem Training zugeführt und nach dem Training auf einem anderen Datenlesegerät weiterverwertet werden. Ein mit der Vorrichtung verbundenes Speichermedium kann die Daten gerätebezogen aufnehmen. Dies geben einem Betreiber Informationen über den Gebrauch des Geräts und können beispielsweise im Rehabilitationsbereich zur Abrechnung benutzt werden.In a further advantageous development, the device comprises a storage medium for storing measured values. The storage medium can either be permanently installed in the device or can be moved. In the mobile version in particular, personal and individual data storage is possible for the respective training person. The memory can be fed to the device for training control before the training and can be used on another data reader after the training. A storage medium connected to the device can record the data on a device-related basis. This gives an operator information about the use of the device and can be used for billing in the rehabilitation area, for example.
Vorteilhafterweise besitzt die Vorrichtung zur Trainingskontrolle selbst eine Einheit zur Auswertung der aufgenommen und oder einge- lesenen Daten, sodass mit diesen vorprogrammierte Rechenoperationen und Datentransferschritte vorgenommen werden können.Advantageously, the training control device itself has a unit for evaluating the recorded and / or read data, so that pre-programmed arithmetic operations and data transfer steps can be carried out.
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung ist die Energieversorgung der Vorrichtung netzunabhängig. Die Vorrichtung kann mit Batterien o- der extern aufzuladenden Akkumulatoren versorgt werden.In an advantageous development, the energy supply to the device is independent of the network. The device can be supplied with batteries or externally rechargeable batteries.
In einer weiteren Ausführung ist die Vorrichtung lösbar an einem Trainingsgerät angebracht. Eine Vorrichtung kann dann zu Beispiel von einer Trainingsperson mitgeführt werden und an einem jeweiligen Trainingsgerät angebracht werden.In a further embodiment, the device is detachably attached to a training device. A device can then, for example, be carried by a training person and attached to a respective training device.
Wenn zudem der Befestigungsmechanismus unabhängig vom Trainingsgerät ist, zum Beispiel mit einer magnetischen, einer Klemm- oder Spanneinrichtung, ist es möglich, die Vorrichtung an beliebigen Trainingsgeräten mit beweglichen Komponenten nachzurüsten.If the fastening mechanism is also independent of the training device, for example with a magnetic, a clamping or clamping device, it is possible to retrofit the device on any training device with movable components.
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung gibt die Vorrichtung bei einer Abweichung von gemessenen und vorgegebenen Daten ein akusti- sches oder optisches Signal ab. Dies kann eine Trainingsperson darauf aufmerksam machen, dass eine Trainingseinheit mit einer gewählten Anzahl von Bewegungen beendet ist, dass er das Training zu langsam oder zu schnell durchführt oder dass sein Kraftaufwand nicht dem Trainingsplan entspricht.In an advantageous development, the device emits an acoustic or optical signal in the event of a deviation from measured and predetermined data. This can alert a training person that a training session has ended with a selected number of movements, that he / she is performing the training too slowly or too quickly or that his / her effort is not in line with the training plan.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführung ist die Vorrichtung um eine personenbezogenen Messeinrichtung erweiterbar. Für ein optimales Training ist es unter Umständen notwenig, den Puls, den Blutdruck, die Sauerstoffsättigung und oder andere medizinisch re- levanten Parameter zu messen, um diese mit den gerätebezogen Trainingsdaten in eine Beziehung zu setzen. Nach einer entsprechenden Auswertung der Daten kann der Trainingsplan sogar wahrend der Trainingseinheit geändert werden und der Trainingsperson oder dem Betreuer über den Monitor oder ein Warnsignal mitgeteilt werden.In a further advantageous embodiment, the device can be expanded to include a personal measuring device. For optimal training, it may be necessary to measure the pulse, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and or other medically relevant parameters in order to relate them to the device-related training data. After an appropriate Evaluation of the data, the training plan can even be changed during the training unit and the training person or the supervisor can be informed via the monitor or a warning signal.
Die erfindungsgemaße Vorrichtung ermöglicht eine Standardisierung von Trainingsmaßnahmen, es kann auch ohne die Kontrolle durch einen Trainer oder Therapeuten nach einem bestimmten Methode trainiert werden. Gleichermaßen werden auch ohne Anwesenheit eines Trainers Tramingsfehler, wie zu lange oder kurze Serien, zu ruck- hafte Bewegungen oder andere aufgedeckt und können korrigiert werden.The device according to the invention enables standardization of training measures, it can also be trained according to a specific method without the control of a trainer or therapist. Likewise, tram errors, such as too long or short series, too jerky movements or others, are detected and can be corrected even without the presence of a trainer.
Erfindungsgemass ist auch vorgesehen, die Auswerteeinheit in der Form eines Handheld-PCs auszubilden, so dass die trainierende Per- son die Daten unmittelbar, beispielsweise über Bluetooth, Infrarot oder wireless von dem Empfanger übertragen bekommt.According to the invention, it is also provided to design the evaluation unit in the form of a handheld PC, so that the training person receives the data directly, for example via Bluetooth, infrared or wireless, from the receiver.

Ausführungsbeispielembodiment
In Fig 1. ist die schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung 1 gezeigt, die an einem Trainingsgerät mit bewegten Gewichten 5 angebracht ist. An einem solchen Trainingsgerät führt die Trainingsperson eine Übung aus, bei der sie gegen die Gewichtskraftkraft der zuhebenden Gewichte 5 arbeitet. Die Komponenten, die von der Trainingsperson bewegt werden, sind in der Abbildung nicht gezeigt. Für die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung spielt die Trainingsbewegung keine Rolle, die unterschiedlichsten Körper- partien werden über eine geeignete Kraftumlenkung durch den Hub von Gewichten trainiert.1 shows a schematic representation of a device 1 according to the invention, which is attached to a training device with moving weights 5. On such a training device, the training person performs an exercise in which he works against the weight force of the weights 5 to be lifted. The components that are moved by the training person are not shown in the figure. The training movement plays no role for the device according to the invention; the most varied parts of the body are trained by means of a suitable force deflection by lifting weights.
Die hier gezeigte Vorrichtung zur Trainingskontrolle 1 ist mit einem Sender 2 zur Aussendung eines akustisches Messsignals und ei- nem Empfänger 3 versehen, wobei der Sender 2 an einem Steckpin 4 befestigt ist, mit dem gleichzeitig die Anzahl der Gewichte 5 festgelegt wird. Der Empfänger 3 ist an dem Gewichtsturm 6 (in der Zeichnung lediglich angedeutet) fixiert. Von Sender 2 und Empfänger 3 laufen bei dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel Kabel- Verbindungen 7 zu einer zentralen Messvorrichtung 8. Hier werden die Messsignale zu Daten umgewandelt. Auf einem Monitor 9 können die gewünschten Daten angezeigt werden. Über ein Tastenfeld 10 kann zwischen verschiedenen Betriebsmodi gewählt werden und es können zusätzliche Parameter eingegeben werden. Die Messvorrichtung 8 kann stationär über ein Stromnetz betreibbar sein. Alternativ hierzu wird diese über Batterien und Akkumulatoren betrieben. Ferner kann es sich bei der Messvorrichtung 8 um eine tragbare Einrichtung handeln. The device for training control 1 shown here is provided with a transmitter 2 for transmitting an acoustic measurement signal and a receiver 3, the transmitter 2 being fastened to a plug-in pin 4, with which the number of weights 5 is fixed at the same time. The receiver 3 is fixed to the weight tower 6 (only indicated in the drawing). In the exemplary embodiment shown here, cable connections 7 run from transmitter 2 and receiver 3 to a central measuring device 8. Here, the measurement signals are converted into data. The desired data can be displayed on a monitor 9. Various operating modes can be selected via a keypad 10 and additional parameters can be entered. The measuring device 8 can be operated stationary via a power network. Alternatively, it is operated by batteries and accumulators. Furthermore, the measuring device 8 can be a portable device.
