Abstract

An athletic equipment with feedback device includes a main body; and a feedback device installed on the main body. The feedback device has a control unit; an input module for entering a target waving value; a sensing module for sensing the waving status of the athletic equipment and producing a sense signal; a signal processing module converting the sense signal into an actual waving data which is subsequently sent to the control unit, such that the control unit compares the actual waving date with the target waving value and sends a feedback signal; and a feedback module receiving the feedback signal and producing a feedback reaction to inform the user.

Claims

1. An athletic equipment with feedback device, comprising:

A main body; and

A feedback device, disposed on the main body and provided with a control unit, an import module electrically connected to the control unit, a sensing module, a signal processing module, and a feedback module;

the import module is used for the user to enter a target waving value during the operation of the athletic equipment;

the sensing module senses a waving status of the athletic equipment and produces a sense signal;

the signal processing module converts the sense signal into an actual waving data and sends the actual waving data to the control unit, such that the control unit compares the actual waving data and the target waving value and subsequently sends a feedback signal; and

the feedback module receives the feedback signal and produces a feedback reaction to inform the user.

2. The athletic equipment of claim 1, wherein the feedback device is further provided with a display module electrically connected to the control module for displaying the actual waving data.

3. The athletic equipment of claim 1, wherein the control unit sends a feedback signal when the actual waving data matches the target waving value.

4. The athletic equipment of claim 3, wherein the feedback reaction is present by use of at least one manner chosen from the group consisting of sound, light, and vibration.

5. The athletic equipment of claim 1, therein the sensing module comprises at least one chosen from the group consisting of an acceleration sensor and an angle sensor.

6. The athletic equipment of claim 1, wherein the feedback device is further provided with a connect module, which is electrically connected to the control module and remotely connected with a terminal device, such that the user is allowed to enter the target waving value by use of the terminal device, and the control unit is allowed to have the actual waving data and the comparison result between the actual waving data and the target waving value sent to and saved in the terminal device.

7. The athletic equipment of claim 6, wherein the control unit is also allowed to send the feedback signal to the terminal device through the connect module, such that the terminal device produces a feedback reaction.

8. The athletic equipment of claim 7, wherein the control unit sends a feedback signal when the actual waving data matches the target waving value.

9. The athletic equipment of claim 8, wherein the feedback reaction is present by use of at least one manner chosen from the group consisting of sound, light, and vibration.
