DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order that those skilled in the art can further understand the present invention, a description will be provided in the following in details. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are only used to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects, features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to be used to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined in the appended claims.

Referring to FIG. 1, the rhythm and speed trainer of the present invention is illustrated. The present invention has the following elements.

An upper cover 2

A lower cover 4 has a receiving groove 41 at a bottom thereof for receiving a plurality of batteries 5. Screws 60 pass through a battery cover 6 to be screwed to the screw holes 410 of the lower cover 4 for sealing the batteries 5.

A substrate 3 is installed between the upper cover 2 and the lower cover 4 by screws to pass through the via holes 20 of the upper cover 2 and the screw holes 40 of the lower cover 4. The substrate 3 is installed with a microprocessor 34, a display 30, a sensor 35, a memory 36, a buzzer 37, and a USB port 38. Further the substrate 3 is installed with a power key 31, a reset key 32 and a setting key 33 which are electrically connected to the microprocessor 34. The power key 31, reset key 32 and setting key 33 pass through the via holes 21, 22 and 23 of the upper cover 2. They can be pressed from the upper side of the upper cover 2. The upper cover 2 has a frame hole 24 for installing the display 30. One lateral side of the display 30 is installed with the USB port 38 which is connected to an external computer for reading data in the memory 36 for reorder and determination. The upper side of the upper cover 2 is formed with a via hole 25 for receiving the USB port 38. The sensor 35 serves to measure the beating speed and force when a rod is swept. These data are displayed on the display 30 by curves. Thereby the user can modify the force and speed next time. As the user sweeps the an exercise device one time, the beating speed, acceleration curve, rhythm, force, beating time, and consumer thermal power are stored in the memory 36. Thereby all these data can be displayed as curves and then are analyzed to be as reference to the users. Thus, the users can improve the defect in training.

Referring to FIG. 2, the embodiment about a tennis racket 8 of the present invention is illustrated.
