[0002] The known training equipment is relatively large in size, which is not convenient for users (general users or disabled users) to use. Moreover, the known training equipment is mostly passive, that is, the weight of the equipment components itself is used to generate resistance to achieve the purpose of training. However, when the user needs to use different weights for training, the number of training equipment will increase accordingly, which will cause inconvenience to the user.

[0003] In addition, when a user trains alone using conventional training equipment, the conventional training equipment has no feedback function, so the user often suffers from poor training results or even gets injured due to incorrect postures. Furthermore, conventional training equipment cannot provide additional training-related information for further reference based on the training results. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a training device, comprising a main body assembly and a first attachment assembly. The main body assembly comprises a housing and a driving element. The driving element is disposed in the housing. The first attachment assembly comprises a first rod body and a first attachment element. One end of the first rod body is connected to the driving element. The driving element drives the first rod body to rotate.

[0005] The present invention further provides a method for using the aforementioned training device, comprising: a driver of a driving element detects an external force provided by a user through a first rod body; based on the detection of the external force, a controller of the driving element calculates an auxiliary force for driving the first rod body based on a gain value; and the controller of the driving element controls the driver to drive the first rod body with the auxiliary force.

[0089] In order to more clearly understand the features, contents and advantages of the present invention and the effects that can be achieved, the present invention is hereby described in detail as follows in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and in the form of embodiments. The drawings used therein are only for illustration and auxiliary description, and the proportions and configuration relationships of the attached drawings should not be interpreted or limited to the claims of the present invention.

[0090] The present invention discloses a training device, and a user can install the training device on various suitable carriers and use the training device to perform various training. In addition, the present invention further discloses a method for using the training device, and the user can set the training device to provide auxiliary forces with different parameters to facilitate the user to perform different training modes. In addition, the user can send back corresponding training content to a server through the training device, so that the server can judge the training data and corresponding items, and provide the training data and corresponding items to the user.

[0091] See also Figure 1 , which is a three-dimensional diagram of a training device 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, the training device 1 includes a main assembly 11 and an attachment assembly 13. The main assembly 11 includes a housing 111 and a driving element 113. The driving element 113 is disposed in the housing 111. In some embodiments, the housing 111 defines an internal accommodation space, and the driving element 113 is partially disposed inside the housing 111 (e.g., Figure 1 In some embodiments, the housing 111 may be open, and the driving element 113 is disposed on the housing 111 .

[0092] In some embodiments, the attachment assembly 13 includes a rod 131 and an attachment element 133. Specifically, one end of the rod 131 is connected to the driving element 113, and the attachment element 133 is disposed on the rod 131 to be attached (e.g., worn) to a user (not shown). When the attachment element 133 is attached to the user, the driving element 113 can be used to drive the rod 131 to rotate (e.g., Figure 1 The rotation R10 shown in the figure provides the user with relevant auxiliary force (for example, an assisting force in the same direction as the user's operation direction or a resisting force in the opposite direction) by rotating the rod body 131 to achieve the training effect. In some embodiments, the position of the attachment element 133 on the rod body 131 can be adjusted to suit the body shape of different users.

[0093] See also Figure 2A, which is a three-dimensional diagram of a training device 2 according to some embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, the training device 2 includes a main body assembly 21 and an attachment assembly 23. The main body assembly 21 includes a shell 211, a driving element 213, and a coupling element 215. The driving element 213 and the coupling element 215 are disposed in the shell 211. In some embodiments, the shell 211 defines an internal accommodation space, and the driving element 213 is partially disposed inside the shell 211 (e.g., Figure 2A In some embodiments, the housing 211 may be open, and the driving element 213 is disposed on the housing 211 .

[0094] In some embodiments, the attachment assembly 23 includes a rod 231 and an attachment element 233. In detail, one end of the rod 231 is connected to the driving element 213, and the attachment element 233 includes a first fixing unit 2331 and a second fixing unit 2333. The first fixing unit 2331 is used to set the attachment element 233 on the rod 231, and the second fixing unit 2333 is used to attach (for example, wear) to a user (not shown). In some embodiments, the first fixing unit 2331 includes a releasable buckle structure for adjusting the position of the attachment element 233 on the rod 231 to suit the body shape of different users.

[0095] In some embodiments, when the attachment element 233 is attached to the user, the driving element 213 can be used to drive the rod body 231 to rotate (eg, Figure 2A The rotation R20 shown in the figure provides the user with relevant auxiliary force (for example, an assisting force in the same direction as the user's operating direction or a resisting force in the opposite direction) by rotating the rod body 231 to achieve the effect of training.

[0096] Please also read Figure 2B , which is a schematic diagram of the use of the training device 2 of some embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, the coupling element 215 of the main body assembly 21 protrudes outward from the shell 213 and is used to engage an external device 9 (for example, a chair). The external device 9 has a structure for receiving and fixing the coupling element 215. When the training device 2 is fixed to the external device 9 through the coupling element 215, the user can lean against the external device 9 (for example, sit on a chair) and wear the second fixing unit 2333 on the user's calf to exercise the calf to operate the training device 2. In some embodiments, the coupling element 215 includes a pin for inserting and fixing to a structure 91 of the external device 9.

[0097] Please also read Figure 2C, which is an enlarged view of the corresponding structure 91 of the external device 9 of the present invention. In detail, the structure 91 has holes 910 corresponding to the number of pins of the coupling element 215, for receiving the coupling element 215. The structure 91 includes a releasable buckle structure 913. When the buckle structure 913 is released, the coupling element 215 can be inserted into the corresponding hole 910. Then, the buckle structure 913 is tightened to fix the coupling element 215 in the hole 910.

[0098] Please also read Figure 2D , which is a block diagram of the driving element 213 of some embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, the driving element 213 includes a driver 2131 and a controller 2133, and the driver 2131 is electrically connected to the controller 2133, and electrical signals can be transmitted between the two. Among them, the driver 2131 may include a motor, and the controller 2133 may include a microcontroller unit (MCU) for controlling the motor of the driver 2131. Furthermore, the driver 2131 is used to provide an auxiliary force to drive the rod body 231. The controller 2133 is used to control at least one of the intensity, time period, and operating range of the auxiliary force provided by the driver 2131.

[0099] In some embodiments, the driver 2131 can detect an external force provided by the user through the rod 231, that is, the force of the user operating the training device 2. According to the detection of the external force, the controller 2133 can calculate the auxiliary force based on a gain value and control the driver 2131 to drive the rod 231 with the auxiliary force.

[0100] In some embodiments, the training device 2 can provide different training modes. The controller 2133 can calculate the auxiliary force based on the different training modes and control the driver 2131 to provide the auxiliary force to the user. Among them, the training device 2 can provide an isokinetic mode, an isotonic mode or an isometric mode.

[0101] In some embodiments, when the training device 2 provides a constant speed mode, the driver 2131 detects an operation speed generated when the user operates the rod body 231. The controller 2133 determines whether the operation speed exceeds a threshold. When the operation speed exceeds the threshold, the controller 2133 controls the driver 2131 to dynamically adjust the strength of the auxiliary force so that the operation speed is not greater than the threshold.

[0102] In some embodiments, when the training device 2 provides the isotonic mode, the controller 2133 controls the driver 2131 to provide an auxiliary force with a fixed intensity to the user.

[0103] In some embodiments, when the training device 2 provides the isometric mode, the controller 2133 locks the driver 2131 so that the strength of the auxiliary force provided by the driver 2131 is used to offset the strength of the external force generated by the user operating the rod 231 .

[0104] In some embodiments, the driver 2131 detects a rotation amount generated when the rod 231 is operated. When the rotation amount exceeds a specific operating range, the controller 2133 controls the driver 2131 to stop the operation.

[0105] See also Figure 3A , which is a three-dimensional diagram of a training device 3 according to some embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, the training device 3 includes a main body assembly 31, a first attachment assembly 33, a second attachment assembly 35, and a movable element 37. The main body assembly 31 includes a shell 311, a driving element 313, and a coupling element 315. The driving element 313 and the coupling element 315 are disposed in the shell 311. In some embodiments, the shell 311 defines an internal accommodation space, and the driving element 313 is partially disposed inside the shell 311 (e.g., Figure 3A In some embodiments, the housing 311 may be open, and the driving element 313 is disposed on the housing 311 .

[0106] In some embodiments, the first attachment assembly 33 includes a first rod 331 and a first attachment element 333. In detail, one end of the first rod 331 is connected to the driving element 313, and the first attachment element 333 includes a first fixing unit 3331 and a second fixing unit 3333. The first fixing unit 3331 is used to set the first attachment element 333 on the first rod 331, and the second fixing unit 3333 is used to attach (for example, wear) to a user (not shown). In some embodiments, the first fixing unit 3331 includes a releasable buckle structure for adjusting the position of the first attachment element 333 on the first rod 331 to suit the body shape of different users.

[0107] In some embodiments, when the first attachment element 333 is attached to the user, the driving element 313 can be used to drive the first rod 331 to rotate (eg, Figure 3A The rotation R30 shown in the figure provides the user with relevant auxiliary force (for example, an assisting force in the same direction as the user's operating direction or a resisting force in the opposite direction) by rotating the first rod 331 to drive the first attachment element 333 to achieve the training effect.

[0108] Please also read Figure 3B, which is an enlarged view of the movable element 37 of the present invention. In some embodiments, the movable element 37 includes a first rotating unit 371 and a second rotating unit 373. Specifically, the first rotating unit 371 can rotate relative to a first rotating axis Y1, and the second rotating unit 373 can rotate relative to a second rotating axis Y2. In some embodiments, the first rotating axis Y1 is different from the second rotating axis Y2 to increase the degree of freedom of the user in operating the training device 3.

[0109] In some embodiments, the coupling element 315 of the main assembly 31 protrudes outward from the housing 313 to engage the first rotating unit 371. The first rotating unit 371 has a hole 3710 for receiving and fixing the coupling element 315. In some embodiments, the coupling element 315 includes a latch for inserting and fixing the hole 3710 of the first rotating unit 371.

[0110] In some embodiments, the first rotating unit 371 includes two clips 3711 and a knob 3713. When the two clips 3711 are combined, the grooves formed thereon define the hole slot 3710. The knob 3713 is used to adjust the tightness of the combination of the two clips 3711. For example, when the knob 3713 is rotated in a clockwise (or counterclockwise) direction, the combination of the two clips 3711 is loose, and at this time, the coupling element 315 can be inserted into the hole slot 3710. Then, the knob 3713 is rotated in a counterclockwise (or clockwise) direction to increase the tightness of the combination of the two clips 3711, so as to clamp the coupling element 315 in the hole slot 3710.

[0111] In some embodiments, the second attachment assembly 35 includes a second rod 351 and a second attachment element 353. Specifically, one end of the second rod 351 is connected to the movable element 37, and the second attachment element 353 is disposed on the second rod 351. In some embodiments, the movable element 37 includes an adjustable tightness ring structure 375 for wrapping around the second rod 351. Through this structure, the movable element 37 can be adjusted to a position to be fixed on the second rod 351, and can rotate relative to an axis Y3 of the second rod 351.

[0112] In some embodiments, the second attachment element 353 includes a through hole with an adjustable size, which is used to sleeve the second rod 351 from one end of the second rod 351. The second attachment element 353 can be adjusted to a position to be fixed on the second rod 351 and fixed by a buckle device 3531. In this way, the above-mentioned structure can be set to meet the body shapes of different users.

[0113] Please also read Figure 3C , Figure 3D and Figure 3E . Figure 3C and Figure 3Dis a schematic diagram of the use of the training device 3 in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3E 3D diagram of an accessory 3335 of a training device 3 according to some embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, the second attachment element 353 of the second attachment assembly 35 is used to engage an external device 8 (e.g., a table). In some embodiments, in order to enhance the flexibility of use of the training device 3, the second attachment element 353 further includes a clamp 3533 for clamping at different positions of the external device 8. After the training device 3 is fixed to the external device 8 by the second attachment assembly 35, a user 7 can wear the second fixing unit 3333 (e.g., worn on the forearm) near the external device 8 (e.g., sitting on a chair next to a table) to operate the training device 3. In some embodiments, in order to allow the user 7 to operate the training device 3 more conveniently, an accessory 3335 with a handle can be configured on the first attachment element 333 to facilitate the user 7 to hold and operate.

[0114] Accordingly, through: (1) the arrangement of the first rotating unit 371 and the second rotating unit 373 of the active element 37; (2) the position of the active element 37 on the second rod 351; (3) the position of the second attachment element 353 on the second rod 351; and (4) the position where the second attachment element 353 is clamped to the external device 8, the training device 3 can have more operational freedom and can effectively conform to the body shapes of various users.

[0115] Please also read Figure 3F , which is a block diagram of the driving element 313 of some embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, the driving element 313 includes a driver 3131 and a controller 3133. The driver 3131 may include a motor, and the controller 3133 may include an MCU for controlling the motor of the driver 3131. More specifically, the driver 3131 is used to provide an auxiliary force to drive the first rod 331. The controller 3133 is used to control at least one of the intensity, time period, and operation range of the auxiliary force provided by the driver 3131.

[0116] In some embodiments, the driver 3131 can detect an external force provided by the user through the first rod 331, that is, the force of the user operating the training device 3. According to the detection of the external force, the controller 3133 can calculate the auxiliary force based on a gain value, and control the driver 3131 to drive the first rod 331 with the auxiliary force.

[0117] In some embodiments, the training device 3 can provide different training modes. The controller 3133 can calculate the auxiliary force based on the different training modes and control the driver 3131 to provide the auxiliary force to the user. Among them, the training device 3 can provide an isokinetic mode, an isotonic mode or an isometric mode.

[0118] In some embodiments, when the training device 3 provides a constant speed mode, the driver 3131 detects an operation speed generated when the user operates the first rod 331. The controller 3133 determines whether the operation speed exceeds a threshold. When the operation speed exceeds the threshold, the controller 3133 controls the driver 3131 to dynamically adjust the strength of the auxiliary force so that the operation speed is not greater than the threshold.

[0119] In some embodiments, when the training device 3 provides the isotonic mode, the controller 3133 controls the driver 3131 to provide an auxiliary force with a fixed intensity to the user.

[0120] In some embodiments, when the training device 3 provides the isometric mode, the controller 3133 locks the driver 3131 so that the strength of the auxiliary force provided by the driver 3131 is used to offset the strength of the external force generated by the user operating the first rod 331 .

[0121] In some embodiments, the driver 3131 detects a rotation amount generated when the first rod 331 is operated. When the rotation amount exceeds a specific operating range, the controller 3133 controls the driver 3131 to stop the operation.

[0122] Please refer to Figure 4A , which is a schematic diagram of a training system 4 according to some embodiments of the present invention. Specifically, the training system 4 includes a training device 41 (e.g., the aforementioned training device 1, 2, or 3), a server 43, and a user device 45. When the training device 41 performs the relevant user operations of the aforementioned embodiments, the driver of the training device 41 (e.g., the aforementioned driver 2131 or 3131) can detect an operation data 410 of the training device 41 during the operation. Then, the controller of the training device 41 (e.g., the aforementioned controller 2133 or 3133) can use a transmission unit (not shown) of the training device 41 to transmit the operation data 410 to the server 43 through a network.

[0123] Next, the server 43 can determine at least one training data 430 based on the operation data 410. Specifically, the operation data 410 can at least include relevant data such as the external force of the user operating the training device 41, the auxiliary force provided by the training device 41, and the range of movement of the rod of the training device 41. The server 43 can determine the training data based on these operation data, for example: (1) whether the user encounters obstacles when operating the training device 41; (2) whether the user's training amount is excessive or insufficient; (3) whether the user's training posture is appropriate. Subsequently, the server 43 can provide at least one training data 430 to the user device 45 through the network, so that the user can confirm whether his training status meets his needs.

[0124] It should be noted that the process of the server 43 judging at least one training data 430 based on the operation data 410 may utilize technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. Specifically, the server 43 may first collect data of various operation data and corresponding training data, and establish a judgment module with these data through artificial intelligence and machine learning methods. In this way, when the server 43 receives relevant operation data in the future, the operation data can be input into the judgment module to directly obtain the training data.

[0125] In some embodiments, the server 43 may determine at least one item 432 corresponding to the training data 430 based on the training data 430, and provide the at least one item 432 to the user device 45 via the network, so that the user can refer to the relevant item 432. For example, when the training data 430 indicates that the user may need a certain course or product, the server 43 may determine at least one item 432 that matches the course or product based on the training data 430 (for example, a network link or image of a course network or product). Subsequently, the server 43 may provide the at least one item 432 to the user device 45 via the network, and the user device 45 may use a display unit 451 to display the training data 430 and the item 432 on a graphical user interface (for example, Figure 4B Item 432 may include a quick response code (QR code).

[0126] Some embodiments of the present invention include methods for using a training device (such as the training device of the aforementioned embodiment), the flow chart of which is as follows: Figure 5 The detailed operation of the method is as follows. First, step S501 is executed, and the driver of the training device detects the external force provided by the user through the first rod. Step S502 is executed, and according to the detection of the external force, the controller calculates the auxiliary force based on the gain value.
