A switch for setting 105 to 130 kilometers, and a ball speed setting switch 22 is a switch for setting 135 to 160 kilometers per hour.

  In the present invention, the sensor unit 2 is set at a position approximately 2 meters away from the main body 1 so that the bat 49 and the racket 50 do not hit. The sensor unit 2 is formed in a rectangular base having a low height, and is provided with a reflective sensor 3 at the center thereof and connected to the main body 1 using an electric cord 30. As shown in FIG. 4, when the player 29 stands next to the sensor unit 2 and shakes the bat 49 or the racket 50, the bat 49 or the like crosses the reflective sensor 3 to project and reflect light. In this case, the reflective sensor senses the light receiving operation, emits a striking sound, and the illumination part 5 having the maximum diameter, which will be described later, is turned on instantaneously. In this case, the illumination part 5 is used for impact timing. It plays a role as a lighting part.

  Note that when the bat 49 or the racket 50 is used as it is, the sensor 3 is not attached to the bat 49 or the racket 50 because the reflective sensor 3 does not sense at all or the sensitivity is low. The sensor sensing member 51 is preferably a white cloth shaped like a supporter, mask or bandage as shown in FIGS.

  The power source 26 as the driving means in the present invention is used by inserting the AC adapter 24 into a household 100 V power source indoors, but using a portable power source 25 outdoors.

  Next, each illumination part provided in the box 6 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, and the front side of the box 6 is provided in a flat plate shape as shown in FIG. Each illumination unit having a predetermined size is arranged at a predetermined position. That is, the illumination unit 4 located at the top is arranged with only one piece having the smallest diameter, and the illumination unit 31 located directly below the illumination unit 4 is arranged with a slightly larger diameter than the illumination unit 4. In addition, the illumination unit 32, the illumination unit 33, and the illumination unit 5 positioned below the illumination unit 31 are arranged so that their diameters are sequentially larger than the illumination unit immediately above. In addition, each of the three illuminating units below the illuminating unit 31 is juxtaposed, and the right side illuminating unit and the left side illuminating unit form a narrow fan shape with the central illuminating unit as the center. They are arranged in a radial pattern. Further, the distance between the illumination units at each stage is such that the distance between the illumination unit 4 and the illumination unit 31 is the shortest and the distance between the illumination unit 33 and the illumination unit 5 is the longest. Is arranged in. In addition, the illumination unit 5 plays a role as an illumination unit for hitting timing.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (a), each lighting unit arranged as described above uses a solid line for the center column, a dotted line for the left column, and a dashed line for the right column. By moving while illuminating momentarily toward the illumination unit 5 located at the lowermost part, a target such as a ball is represented as flying toward the player 29.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, each of these illumination units shifts from the illumination unit 5 located at the lowermost part toward the illumination unit 4 located at the uppermost part while instantaneously lighting, so that the player 29 It is expressed as if it flies away from the distance. In this case, for example, the target flying from the center row moves away through the center row, and the target flying from the left row moves back and forth through the left row. As the illumination means for each of these illumination units, LEDs with low power consumption and high brightness are optimal, and in this embodiment, the illumination units are arranged in three vertical rows. It is also possible to change the design to only the left and right two rows.

  In the hitting practice machine described above, the ball speed is expressed by the lighting time between the illumination unit and the illumination unit. In baseball, tennis, and soccer, there is a ball speed suitable for each, but most ball games can be compensated by adjusting the ball speed between 70 km / h and 160 km / h. Of course, there is no problem even at a setting of 50 km / h to 200 km / h. 70 kilometers per hour travels 19.44 meters per second and 160 kilometers per hour travels approximately 44.44 meters per second. Based on this, in the case of baseball, calculating the distance between the pitcher and the main base and the arrival time, the distance between the pitcher and the main base is 18.44 meters, and a ball with a speed of 70 kilometers per hour reaches the batter from the pitcher. It takes 0.95 seconds. In the case where five illumination parts are provided as shown in FIG. 1, the time from the moment when the illumination part 4 with the smallest diameter located at the top is momentarily lit until the moment when the illumination part 31 located immediately below is momentarily lit is about 0.24 seconds. It takes about 0.41 seconds to reach the batter from the pitcher at 160 km / h, and the time from when the illumination unit 4 with the smallest diameter located at the top is momentarily lit until when the illumination unit 31 located immediately below is momentarily lit Is about 0.10 seconds. Therefore, if a ball speed suitable for each of baseball, tennis, and soccer is set and practiced with the electronic device in the box 6, more practical practice can be performed.

  Next, a method of using the baseball batting practice using the batting system training machine of the present invention will be described. When the player 29 with the power switch 28 provided on the box 6 is on standby by the sensor unit 2, the illumination unit 4 with the smallest diameter located at the top is lit instantly and sequentially 31, 32, When the lighting unit 5 having the maximum diameter located at the bottom after the momentary lighting of 33 is momentarily lit, and the player 29 having the timing of shaking shakes the bat 49 and the reflective sensor 3 of the sensor unit 2 senses, After the hitting sound is emitted, the lighting unit 5 with the largest diameter located at the bottom is momentarily lit, and the lighting unit 4 with the smallest diameter located at the top is momentarily lit with 33, 32 and 31 sequentially. When waiting for 10 seconds, the illumination unit 4 with the smallest diameter located at the top again starts to light up momentarily. As a result, the player 29 can prepare a posture to hit the next target. Note that when the bat 49 is shaken and the just meet cannot be made, no hitting sound is generated, so that the player 29 can recognize that the player has swung.

  Also, when practicing a rally where the tennis player 29 strikes back the target that has just come and strikes back the target that immediately returns, the power switch 28 provided on the box 6 is turned on and the procedure similar to the above is performed. It may be set so that the instantaneous lighting of each lighting unit is reciprocated, and the uppermost lighting unit 4 is instantaneously turned on again one second after the uppermost lighting unit 4 is instantaneously turned on.

  The second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 5 is a permanent installation of a batting system training machine fixed indoors. In this case, an area sensor 23 as shown in the figure is installed in the vicinity of the sensor unit 2, and a projector 34 and a light receiver 35 are attached.
