Exercising Device with Rehabilitation Function

Abstract

An exercising device includes a main frame, a seat, a backrest, a swing unit, a magnetically controlled damper, and an electronic control panel. The swing unit is swingably mounted on the upright of the main frame. The swing unit includes two handlebars extending from the upright to the seat respectively. The magnetically controlled damper is pivotally mounted between the swing unit and the main frame. The electronic control panel is electrically connected with the magnetically controlled damper. When the two handlebars are moved by the user, the magnetically controlled damper provides a damping force to retard movement of the two handlebars. The electronic control panel controls and regulates the resistance of the magnetically controlled damper.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to an exercising device and, more particularly, to an exercising device with a rehabilitation function.2. Description of the Related Art[0002]A conventional rehabilitation apparatus comprises a support frame, a pedal mounted on the support frame, and a handle mounted on the support frame and connected with the pedal to move in concert with the pedal. Thus, when a user holds the handle and treads the pedal, the handle is driven by the pedal to move upward and downward so as to provide a rehabilitating function to the user's two hands. However, when the user's legs are injured, he / she cannot tread the pedal to drive the handle easily, thereby greatly causing inconvenience to the user, and thereby decreasing the rehabilitating effect of the rehabilitation apparatus.[0003]A conventional upper arm rehabilitation apparatus comprises a main frame, two handlebars, a linking mechanism, and a transmission ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an improved electronically controlled damper for an exercising device. The main technical effects are as follows: a reduced volume of the whole device, a smaller and lighter magnetically controlled damper, a simplified structure of the swing unit, a fewer number of parts, easy assembly, and a cost-effective assembly process. Additionally, the electronic control panel enables the user to regulate the damping force according to their needs, making the device more versatile and customizable.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the user's legs are injured, he / she cannot tread the pedal to drive the handle easily, thereby greatly causing inconvenience to the user, and thereby decreasing the rehabilitating effect of the rehabilitation apparatus.

However, the linking mechanism includes multiple chains and gears, thereby increasing the cost of production and assembly.

In addition, the linking mechanism is not assembled easily, thereby wasting the working time.

Further, the magnetically controlled resistance module is composed of magnetically controlled wheels cooperating with belt wheels or metallic circular plates cooperating with magnetic members, thereby increasing the cost of fabrication.

Further, the magnetically controlled resistance module has a larger volume, such that it is necessary to provide an additional space for mounting the magnetically controlled resistance module.
