Problems solved by technology

However, this conventional passive exercise device usually brings little change in the motion of the user's feet, thus causing his / her exercise to be less effective than his / her active exercise that does not rely on the driving force generated by the drive unit. monotonous
During the user's daily use, this conventional passive exercise device brings little variation to his / her exercise, which may cause his / her exercise effect to gradually decrease
In addition, this conventional passive exercise device allows the user to stretch and contract the muscles of specific parts of their feet, but not the various muscles of their feet

no. 1 approach

[0020] Such as figure 2 As shown, the passive exercise device of this embodiment includes: a shell 1 shaped like a shallow box, a left foot support 2a and a right foot support 2b. A left foot support 2a and a right foot support 2b are provided on one surface of the casing 1 to support the user's left foot and right foot, respectively. In this embodiment, the user of the passive exercise device places the housing 1 on the floor, and then places his / her left foot and right foot on the left foot support 2a and right foot support 2b respectively to maintain his / her / She stands upright. The passive exercise device may be configured to allow the user to perform his / her exercise while seated. Furthermore, the housing 1 can be embedded in the floor. Hereinafter, upward and downward directions in this embodiment are respectively defined as directions toward the top surface and the bottom surface of the housing 1 placed on the floor. The left foot support 2a and the right foot sup...

no. 2 approach

[0047] The passive exercise device in this embodiment is different from that in the first embodiment with regard to the motion pattern adjustment device 6, which is configured to determine the reciprocating motion of each left foot support 2a and right foot support 2b Adjust the phase of your sport mode.

[0048] In this embodiment, the drive unit 3 is equipped with two motors 31 for individually driving the left foot support 2a and the right foot support 2b as shown in FIG. 8( a ). This configuration includes a transmission 50 for transmitting the rotational force of the motor 31 to the crank rod 38 instead of the transfer box 32 (worm 32a and worm wheel 32b) for converting the rotational force of the motor 31 into two separate driving forces. .

[0049] The transmission 50 includes a first bevel gear 51a and a second bevel gear 51b engaged with the first bevel gear 51a for converting the rotational force of the motor 31 into the rotational force of the second bevel gear 51b...

no. 3 approach

[0059] The passive exercise device in this embodiment is different from that in the first embodiment with regard to the motion pattern adjustment device 6, which is configured to determine the reciprocating motion of each left foot support 2a and right foot support 2b to adjust the amplitude.

[0060] The drive unit 3 in this embodiment includes the same basic components as the drive unit 3 in the second embodiment provided with two motors 31 . The drive unit 3 in this embodiment is different from that in the second embodiment regarding the mechanism for adjusting the portion of the crankshaft 37 connected to the second bevel gear 51b.

[0061] Such as Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the second bevel gear 51 b is provided with a groove 53 to accommodate the crankshaft 37 . The crankshaft 37 is configured to move in the groove 53 . The groove 53 extends along the radius of the second bevel gear 51b on one surface of the second bevel gear 51b, so that the distance bet...

Abstract

Provided is a powered exercise equipment, which is activated by the driving force of a drive device so that a user can perform an exercises to be accompanied by the expansions / contractions of the various muscle groups of the legs without lowering the obtainable exercise effects gradually. The powered exercise equipment comprises a left foot rest (2a) and a right foot rest (2b) for placing the left and right feet of a user thereon, respectively, a drive device (3) for reciprocating the left foot rest (2a) and the right foot rest (2b) along a given route, and an exercise pattern changing means (6) for changing at least one of a frequency, a phase and an amplitude to regulate the exercise pattern of the reciprocations of the left foot rest (2a) and the right foot rest (2b). The exercise pattern changing means (6) changes the exercise pattern in accordance with the setting at an exercise pattern setting unit (7).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a passive exercise device that is driven to apply an external force to a user's foot to stretch and contract the user's foot muscles. Background technique [0002] As disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-267724, a passive exercise device has been proposed as an exercise device including: board) and drive equipment. The driving device includes an electric motor and the like, and is used to provide driving force for the reciprocating motion of each foot support. [0003] The exercise device described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-267724 includes a swing unit and a drive unit including an electric motor for driving the swing unit. The swing unit is designed to alternately swing each foot support up and down around a shaft provided at a rear side of each foot support. By means of electric motors, the exercise device helps the user stretch his / her feet a...
