Abstract

A clip-type monitoring device for wirelessly transmitting a heart rate comprises a housing of which the back is formed with a clip, which may be clipped onto the clothes, and the flank is formed with a jack connected to an external signal; a heart rate monitoring unit formed with multiple electrode pads extending from the housing; a voltage sensor unit provided in the housing so that the voltage variation frequency measured is filtered by the inductors and then transmitted to the filter shaping amplifier circuit to receive an amplified signal; and a radio frequency module having a wireless signal transmission circuit and provided in the housing for transmitting the signal amplified by the voltage sensor unit to a display storage device having a wireless signal receiving circuit. The housing inside which the heart rate monitoring module is provided to accurately measure the pulsation is light and thin and conveniently hanged on the clothes without burden.

Claims

1. A clip-type monitoring device for wirelessly transmitting the heart rate, comprising:

a) a housing having a clip at the back thereof, the clip being clipped onto the clothes, a jack being formed at the flank thereof for receiving an external signal;

b) a heart rate monitoring unit having a plurality of electrode pads extending out of the housing and staying close to the human body'"'"'s chest to monitor the pulsation, each of the electrode pads being connected with a conducting wire, a plug being provided at a influx terminal for electrically coupled to the jack such that a measured voltage variation rate is transmittable to the inside of the housing;

c) a voltage sensor unit disposed within the housing and provided with three inductors and a filtering shaping amplifier circuit so that the voltage variation frequency measured by the heart rate monitoring unit is filtered by the inductors and then transmitted to the filtering shaping amplifier circuit to receive an amplified signal;

d) a control interface provided on the surface of housing to control the heart rate monitoring unit and the voltage sensor unit to turn ON and OFF; and

e) a radio frequency module having a wireless signal transmission circuit and provided in the housing for transmitting the signal amplified by the voltage sensor unit to a display storage device provided with a wireless signal receiving circuit.

2. The clip-type monitoring device for wirelessly transmitting the heart rate as recited in claim 1, wherein the electrode pad of the heart rate monitoring unit comprises a positive electrode pad, a negative electrode pad, and a common electrode pad and each of the pads is kept tight close to the surface of the chest.

3. The clip-type monitoring device for wirelessly transmitting the heart rate as recited in claim 1, wherein the display storage device comprises an exercise machine meter provided with the wireless signal receiving circuit and a display panel.

4. The clip-type monitoring device for wirelessly transmitting the heart rate as recited in claim 1, wherein the display storage device comprises a wristwatch provided with the wireless signal receiving circuit and the display panel.

5. The clip-type monitoring device for wirelessly transmitting the heart rate as recited in claim 1, wherein the display storage device comprises a mobile phone provided with the wireless signal receiving circuit and the display panel.

6. The clip-type monitoring device for wirelessly transmitting the heart rate according to claim 1, wherein the display storage device comprises an MP3/4 player provided with the wireless signal receiving circuit and the display panel.

7. The clip-type monitoring device for wirelessly transmitting the heart rate according to claim 1, wherein the display storage device further includes a microprocessor, a storage unit, and a control switch, and wherein a default program and circuit provided in the microprocessor is used to operate and process the signal and then to transmit the data to the display panel, and wherein the storage unit stores the data given by the microprocessor for backup, and wherein the control switch is used to control the display panel to turn ON or OFF for the heart rate data display.
