Multi-functional running machine and its controlling method

Abstract

A multi-functional running machine adopted to perform various exercises such as running, walking, wrenching, stretching, stopping and so on in accordance with the condition of the user's health or the exercise taste of the user by allowing a running belt to reciprocately move a prescribed distance and permitting the user to input directly reciprocating times, reciprocating distance and reciprocating speed of the running belt or use them selectively programmed with various combinations. A method for controlling the running belt to be reciprocately moved at a predetermined distance is also disclosed. The multi-functional running machine includes a lower frame installed with a running belt rotated by a motor; a support frame installed on one side of the lower frame; a handle attached to the support frame; and a scale plate wherein the running belt is reciprocately moved in a predetermined scope and a method for controlling allows a running belt in a running machine to be reciprocately moved and wherein forward and reverse rotations of the running belt is controlled by a motor driver to thereby allow the running belt to be reciprocately moved at a predetermined reciprocating length, reciprocating times and reciprocating speed.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a multi-functional running machine and a method for controlling the machine and more particularly to a multi-functional running machine adapted to perform various exercises such as running, walking, wrenching, stretching, stooping and so on in accordance with the condition of user's health or an exercise taste of user by allowing a running belt to be reciprocately moved at a prescribed distance and permitting user to input directly the reciprocating times, reciprocating distance and reciprocating speed of the running belt or use selectively them programmed with various combinations. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling the running belt to be reciprocately moved at a predetermined distance. BACKGROUND ART [0002] A running machine is an exercise tool adapted for user to gradually walk or run on a running belt which is coupled rotationally and in an endless track to a pair of rotation shafts, and the user...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] A multi-functional running machine according to the present invention is characterized in that the machine is adapted to control the reciprocating times, reciprocating distance and reciprocating speed of a running belt and thus allows user to selectively perform various exercises such as basic running and walking as well as wrenching, stretching, stooping and so on in accordance with the condition of user's health or an exercise taste of user.

[0043] Also, by making the speed of any one side slow or fast with maintaining the distance during forwarding and reversing rotations, it can hold various stress-mitigating capabilities capable of promptly mitigating the limiting point that the body of user is able to bear.

Problems solved by technology

However, in conventional running machines, a motor driving the running belt has only a function uniformly rotating clock-wisely and counter clock-wisely and thus the running belt is moved only in a forward direction or a reverse direction.

Accordingly, conventional running machines have only a function allowing an exercise for forwardly walking or running or an exercise for backwardly walking or running, and resultantly problems incapable of performing various exercises.
