Technical Field

The present invention relates to a golf putter (putter), and more particularly, to a digital putter diagnostic device (apparatus for diagnosing and displaying a position, a direction, a movement, etc. of a putter head of a golf putter.

Background

In general, golf is a competitive game in which a golf ball is continuously hit with a club at a fixed place until it enters a fixed hole, and a winning is judged according to the number of strokes until the ball enters the hole. And it was first created in the united kingdom and is currently enjoyed by many people worldwide due to recent increased amateur time and income, awareness of health and the importance of their own bodies, and increased ecological requirements for space required for sports and amateur activities.

Such golf courses typically consist of 10 holes (holes) that can be reached by 2 shots on a green; 4 holes which can reach the green through 3 rods; and 4 holes which can reach the green by 1 rod, namely, the holes are formed by 18 holes, and each hole is provided with the required standard rod number.

On the other hand, putting refers to a stroke of striking with a driver (pusher) in order to drive a golf ball placed on a green into a hole, and since the number of putts between 18 holes is set to 36, putting is an extremely important stroke for a golfer having a certain level, since the accuracy of putting can determine whether or not the total number of putts can be reduced.

For example, most golfers having a certain level reach the green with the same number of strokes, so that the number of times a golf ball is driven into a hole by putting on the green determines a win or loss, and when a golf ball fails to accurately perform a putting action and loses a win, the exertion of the next hole is adversely affected by psychological stress.

As described above, in order to accurately perform a putting stroke which is very important in a golf game, it is necessary to accurately judge not only an appropriate address posture and a correct and stable putting swing but also a distance between a golf ball and a hole and a state of a green and to hit the golf ball with an optimum force according to the distance and the state of the green.

Therefore, although a golfer repeatedly practices putting movements in order to more accurately perform putting, there are problems in that it is difficult to maintain accurate putting feeling because the putting movements can be adjusted only according to the feeling during training, and in that it is difficult to perform effective training because the relationship of the field is not practical based on the actual putting distance when putting is performed in a practice range other than a lawn.

For putters, especially short pushes (short pushes) within 2m, the straightness of the putter head is a key factor in determining the success of a putt. Therefore, in order to accurately move the putter head in a linear direction while putting, practice is performed in various ways. When performing such putting practice, it would be of great help to improve the straightness of the putting, provided that the golfer can accurately measure the moving direction of the putter head each time and visually confirm it in real time.

Conventionally, a plurality of related techniques for improving the straightness of a putter have been disclosed, and these related techniques have a drawback that although they can display a putter direction or a putter distance before a putter, they cannot detect the movement of a putter head during an actual putting process and display the direction. That is, although a golfer can correct his or her own putter by confirming whether or not the actually executed putter has the straightness after that, these conventional inventions cannot detect the movement of the putter head at the time of putting in real time and display the straightness or direction to a putter exerciser, so that the function of correcting the putter is relatively limited.

The illuminance sensor 160 may use a CSD illuminance sensor or the like, and functions to sense light indoors or outdoors.

Fig. 5 is a schematic view showing a rotation axis in the digital push rod diagnosis device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 5, in an embodiment of the present invention, the digital putter diagnostic device 100 sets the direction perpendicular to the face 3 as the X-axis (roll direction), the direction parallel to the face 3 as the Y-axis (pitch direction), and the ground axis as the Z-axis (yaw direction).

As shown in fig. 1, in the present invention, it is preferable that the putter diagnostic device 100 is mounted in a direction such that the trajectory center line 132 of the display part 130 is perpendicular to the putter face 3.

The control part 120 displays the position and rotation of the putter head in the Z-axis direction on the display part 130 in real time, displays the swing trace of the putter head 20 on the display part 130 in real time, and integrates and displays the number of times the putter head 20 strikes a golf ball in real time, using the signal sensed by the 9-axis sensor part 110.

The display unit 130 displays the position and rotation of the putter head 20 in the Z-axis direction, displays the swing trajectory of the putter head, and displays the number of times the putter head strikes a golf ball, according to the control of the control unit 120.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the control part 120 may perform a real-time zero point adjustment function, that is, when the putter head 20 does not move within a preset time period with reference to the Z-axis direction, the position and direction of the putter head 20 at that time are set as the reference position and reference direction. Then, the reference position and the reference direction are set, and then the angle that changes when the putter head 20 is rotated about the Z axis is displayed on the display unit 130 in real time.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the control part 120 displays the position and the direction of the putter head 20, which change as the putter head 20 is rotated based on the Z-axis, on the display part 130, and may display different colors on the display part according to the position and the direction of the putter head 20.

In the present invention, the control part 120 reads the values of the X-axis and the Y-axis of the putter head 20 from the 9-axis sensor part 110, and can display the swing trace of the putter head 20 on the display part 130 in real time according to the values.

The presentation unit 140 plays a role of emitting a warning sound.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 120 generates a warning sound through the warning unit 140 when the position and the direction of the putter head 20 coincide with the reference position and the reference direction.

The vibration part 150 plays a role of generating vibration.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the control part 120 performs the vibration by the vibration part 140 when the position and the direction of the putter head 20 coincide with the reference position and the reference direction.

Fig. 3 and 4 are views showing a display part of the digital putter diagnosis device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 3 and 4, in an embodiment of the present invention, the display portion 130 displays a putter rotation angle 131 of a position (i.e., a ready position) where the putter head 20 contacts the ground during putting; displaying a trajectory centerline 132; displaying a swing trajectory 133; the number of hits 134 is displayed.

In an embodiment of the invention, the display portion 130 may be a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT LCD), an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), or the like.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the control part 120 turns ON (ON) the power of the display 130 when the putter head 20 is located within a predetermined angle, and turns OFF (OFF) the power of the display 130 after a certain time has elapsed after departing from the predetermined angle. For example, the control unit 120 turns on the power supply of the display unit 130 when the putter head 20 is positioned within ± 20 ° on the basis of the X axis and within ± 5 ° on the basis of the Y axis, and turns off the power supply of the display unit 130 after 5 seconds from the departure from this range.

The control part 120 may perform a real-time zero point adjusting function of setting the position and direction of the putter head 20 at this time as a reference position and reference direction when the putter head 20 is not moved for a preset time with the Z-axis direction as a reference. Then, the reference position and the reference direction are set, and then the angle that changes when the putter head 20 is rotated about the Z axis is displayed on the display unit 130 in real time.

In the embodiment of fig. 3 and 4, the putter rotation angle 131 includes a first light emitting portion a, a second light emitting portion b, and a third light emitting portion c, and the first light emitting portion a may be displayed in red, the second light emitting portion b may be displayed in yellow, and the third light emitting portion c may be displayed in green.

In the embodiment of fig. 3 and 4, the control part 120 sets the position and angle of the putter head 20 at this time to 0 ° when executing the zero point adjustment function, and the putter rotation angle 131 of the display part 130 is displayed as green by the third light emitting part c. At this time, when the angle of the putter head 20 is within ± 2 °, the control unit 120 displays the putter rotation angle 131 in green.

When the putter head 20 is rotated by a predetermined angle or more with respect to the Z-axis, the control unit 120 displays the position and angle of the putter head 20 at that time in different colors. In the embodiment of fig. 3 and 4, when the putter head 20 is rotated ± 4 ° with respect to the Z-axis, the control portion 120 controls the second light emitting portion b to display yellow at the putter rotation angle 131. When the putter head 20 is rotated ± 8 ° with respect to the Z axis, the controller 120 controls the first light emitting unit to display red at the putter rotation angle 131.

As described above, in the display unit 130 of the present invention, the portion for displaying the putter rotation angle 131 displays the current position of the putter head 20 according to the rotation angle of the putter head 20, with the green line of the third light emitting portion c as the center, and with the yellow line of the second light emitting portion b and the red line of the first light emitting portion a in the form of a bar. Therefore, the user can easily confirm the current position of the putter head 20 and accurately adjust the position of the putter head 20 in the set-up posture.

The trajectory center line 132 is displayed as two white lines in the center of the display unit 130.

In the present invention, the control part 120 senses the moving trajectory of the putter head 20 in real time and displays it within the trajectory center line 132. That is, the control part 120 sets 0 ° with reference to the X-axis and the Y-axis, and senses the movement of the putter head 20 and displays the swing trajectory 133 in real time within the trajectory center line 132. At this time, the putter head 20 may be displayed in the second color 420 when moving backward in the X-axis direction and in the first color 410 when moving forward. For example, the first color 410 is blue and the second color 420 is red. In this case, the range of the angle in which the swing trajectory of the putter head 20 is displayed may be set to 0 to 17 ° with respect to the X axis and ± 5 ° with respect to the Y axis, for example.

When an impact is generated by the putter head 20, the control part 120 judges whether or not the golf ball is hit by sensing the changed impact amount and time, and when it is judged that the golf ball is hit, it accumulates and displays the hit frequency 134 in real time on the display part 130.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the controller 120 may turn off the power of the putter diagnostic device 100 when the putter head is out of the set angular range for more than a certain time. For example, the control unit may turn off the power supply when the putter head 20 is out of the angular range of +5 ° to-20 ° with respect to the X axis and ± 20 ° with respect to the Y axis for more than 3 minutes.

In one embodiment of the present invention, when the putter head 20 rotates by ± 2 ° or more with respect to the Z axis during a ball impact, the control unit 120 may display an erroneous impact such that the entire display unit 130 flickers red.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the control part 120 receives information sensing light indoors or outdoors through the illuminance sensor 160, thereby distinguishing the indoor or outdoor and automatically adjusting the brightness of the screen of the display part 130. Therefore, when the user uses the push rod diagnosis device of the present invention outdoors, the information displayed on the display part 130 can be easily confirmed with the naked eye.

In the present invention, in order to save power consumption, the digital putter diagnostic device 100 may be turned off when the display unit 130 is not turned on again within a certain time period after being turned on. For example, after the display unit 130 is turned off, the digital putter diagnostic device 100 may be powered off without turning on the light again for 3 minutes or more.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the right side of the display unit 130 is viewed as the direction of the face 3, the horizontal trajectory center line 132 is displayed so as to cross 2 white lines, the swing trajectory 133 is displayed inside the trajectory center line 132, the putter rotation angle 131 is displayed around a part of the left side of the trajectory center line 132, and the stroke count 134 is displayed at the lower end of the right side. However, this is merely an example, and the specific display manner of the display portion 130 may be various.

In the foregoing, the present invention has been explained by means of several preferred embodiments, but these embodiments are only illustrative embodiments and not restrictive. Many variations and modifications are possible to those skilled in the art within the spirit and scope of the invention and the appended claims.
