[0026] Example 1
[0027] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a treadmill control method is provided, which is applied to a treadmill, wherein the treadmill includes: a motor and a treadbelt, wherein the motor drives the treadbelt of the treadmill to operate. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.
[0028] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling a treadmill according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0029] Step S102: obtaining identification information for identifying a target position on the treadmill.
[0030] Specifically, the identification information is generated by a marker disposed on or inside the treadmill. By detecting the marker to obtain the identification information, the running cycle of the treadmill can be obtained.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, the marker is a marker set on the surface of the treadmill. The treadmill image is captured by an image acquisition device to obtain the time interval between the marker reaching the specified position multiple times. The average of the multiple time intervals is taken to obtain the operating cycle of the treadmill.
[0032] In another optional embodiment, the marker is a magnetic element arranged inside the treadmill. The magnetic element is detected by a magnetic sensitive element, and the time interval between two or more consecutive detections of magnetic signals by the magnetic sensitive element is obtained. The average value of this time interval is taken to obtain the operating cycle of the treadmill.
[0033] Step S104: obtaining the actual speed of the treadmill based on the identification information.
[0034] The above-mentioned actual speed is used to represent the actual running speed of the treadmill belt. The treadmill belt is driven by the treadmill motor, and the belt speed is also determined by the motor speed. When the actual speed of the treadmill is accurate, its actual speed should be the same as the control speed. However, as the treadmill components age or the user's weight and running posture affect the treadmill, the actual speed of the belt is often difficult to reach the control speed. For example, due to reasons such as component aging, the motor speed is inaccurate, which in turn makes the belt speed inaccurate; or the motor speed is accurate, but due to structural reasons such as changes in the tightness of the belt or different weights of different users, the belt speed is inaccurate.
[0035] Step S106: obtaining the control speed of the treadmill.
[0036] The control speed of the treadmill is the speed specified in the command sent to the treadmill, i.e., the speed at which the user wishes the treadmill to run. This control speed also uniquely corresponds to the standard speed of the motor. For example, if the user sets the speed to 6 km / h when using the treadmill, the treadmill's current control speed is 6 km / h. Depending on the treadmill, the control speed can be selected by the user on the treadmill's control panel, input by voice, or specified in the user's selected exercise program.
[0037] In the above steps, the operation cycle of the treadmill can be determined based on the identification information, and then the actual speed of the treadmill can be obtained based on the operation cycle.
[0038] Step S108: adjusting the rotation speed of the motor in the treadmill so that the actual speed is consistent with the control speed.
[0039] In an optional embodiment, the actual speed can be compared with the control speed, and the need for motor speed calibration can be determined based on the comparison result. Specifically, the motor speed can be calibrated if the difference between the control speed and the actual speed is greater than a preset value, and the motor speed is not calibrated if the difference between the control speed and the actual speed is less than or equal to the preset value. This solution allows the treadmill to automatically calculate in real time, eliminating the need for manual comparison and calculation.
[0040] If the user requires high precision for the treadmill belt speed, the preset value can be set to 0. This means that the motor speed will be calibrated whenever the actual speed differs from the control speed. However, since the treadmill belt speed is significantly affected by surrounding factors, such as component aging and user weight, calibrating the motor speed only when the actual speed differs from the control speed can result in a high number of calibrations. Therefore, a preset value can be set. If the difference between the control speed and the actual speed is greater than the preset value, the current motor speed of the treadmill will be calibrated, thus avoiding the need for frequent motor speed calibration.
[0041] Specifically, the preset value may be a set default value or a value calculated based on the allowable error and the control speed. For example, if the control speed is 6 km / h and the allowable error is within 3%, the preset value may be 0.18. That is, if the difference between the control speed and the actual speed is greater than 0.18, the current speed of the motor in the treadmill is calibrated.
[0042] In another optional embodiment, the control speed and the actual speed may be obtained and then the calibration speed may be directly calculated without comparison.
[0043] As can be seen from the above, the above embodiment of the present application obtains identification information for identifying a target position on the running belt; obtains the actual running speed of the running belt based on the identification information; obtains the control speed of the treadmill; and adjusts the speed of the motor in the treadmill so that the actual speed and the control speed are consistent. The above solution obtains the actual speed of the treadmill running belt and adjusts the motor speed based on the actual speed and the control speed to calibrate the actual speed of the running belt so that the actual speed of the treadmill is consistent with the control speed, thereby solving the technical problem of inaccurate treadmill running belt speed in the prior art.
[0044] As an optional embodiment, obtaining the actual speed of the running belt based on the identification information includes: obtaining the circumference of the running belt, collecting the occurrence period of the identification information, and determining the actual speed of the running belt based on the circumference and the period; or obtaining the mileage of the running belt, and obtaining the cumulative period in which the identification information appears multiple times, wherein the identification information is generated by an identifier set on the running belt, and the actual speed of the running belt is calculated based on the mileage and the cumulative period.
[0045] Since the marker is set on the outer surface or inside of the treadmill, each time the identification information is detected, it can be determined that the treadmill has completed a circle. Therefore, the time interval between two adjacent detections of identification information can be determined as the operation cycle of the treadmill.
[0046] In the above scheme, after determining the period of appearance of the identification information, the actual speed of the running belt can be obtained based on V=l / t, where V represents the actual speed of the running belt, l is the circumference of the running belt, and t is the period of appearance of the identification information.
[0047] In the above scheme, the cumulative period of multiple marker appearances and the treadmill distance can also be obtained. Specifically, the cumulative period of N marker appearances is actually the time it takes for the treadmill to rotate (N-1) times. Therefore, the treadmill distance can be calculated by multiplying (N-1) by the treadmill circumference. For example, if the cumulative period T of four consecutive marker appearances and the treadmill distance L (L = 3*l, where l is the treadmill circumference) are obtained, the actual running speed can be calculated as V = L / T.
[0048] The actual running speed of the running belt is calculated by using a camera to collect markers and the circumference of the running belt. You only need to set a marker on the surface of the running belt and install a camera on the treadmill, or use the camera that comes with the treadmill to calculate the actual speed of the running belt. It is not only convenient to implement, but also has a high accuracy rate.
[0049] It should be noted that in order to obtain the actual speed of the treadmill belt in real time, a sliding window algorithm can be used to calculate the actual speed of the belt. An example is given below to illustrate this.
[0050] In an optional embodiment, each time the camera captures the identification information reaching the specified location, a time is recorded. When the identification information reaches the specified location for the tth time, the time corresponding to the tth time is subtracted from the time corresponding to the t-3th time to obtain the time T1 for the treadmill to rotate three times, and the actual speed of the current treadmill is obtained by dividing 31 / T1 (where l represents the circumference of the treadmill). When the identification information reaches the specified location for the t+1th time, the time corresponding to the t+1th time is subtracted from the time corresponding to the t-2th time to obtain the time T2 for the treadmill to rotate three times, and the actual speed of the current treadmill is obtained by dividing 31 / T2. Similarly, the real-time speed of the treadmill can be obtained in real time.
[0051] As an optional embodiment, the treadmill further includes: an image acquisition device and a marker arranged at a target position on the running belt, and collecting the appearance period of identification information, including: collecting an image of the running belt by the image acquisition device; determining the appearance period of the identification information based on the image, wherein the identification information is generated by the marker in the image.
[0052] Specifically, the image acquisition device can be a camera, either mounted on the treadmill or installed within the treadmill's environment. The marker can be a highlighted bar-shaped identification mark affixed horizontally to the surface of the treadmill. The image acquisition device can capture the treadmill's movement, wherein the time difference between two consecutive appearances of the marker at the same location on the treadmill is the marker's appearance period. To obtain more accurate calculation results, the time difference between two consecutive appearances of the marker at the same location can be obtained multiple times, and the average of these multiple time differences can be determined as the marker's appearance period.
[0053] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a treadmill according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the treadmill has a camera 20 that can capture the movement of the running belt. A marker 21 is fixed to the running belt. The camera 20 captures the running belt. Based on the captured images, the time difference between two consecutive occurrences of the marker information at the same location (e.g., location 22 on the treadmill) is determined. The average of these multiple time differences is used to determine the marker appearance period. Based on the known running belt circumference, the actual running belt speed can be determined.
[0054] As an optional embodiment, the treadmill further includes: a magnetic sensitive element and a magnetic element arranged at a target position of the running belt, and collects the occurrence period of identification information, including: detecting identification information through the magnetic sensitive element, wherein the identification information is used to represent the magnetic signal generated by the magnetic element; and determining the occurrence period of the identification information based on the magnetic signal.
[0055] Specifically, the magnetic element can be positioned at a fixed location within the treadmill, and the magnetic sensor can be positioned at a fixed location on the running deck or treadmill frame that can detect the magnetic element. As the treadmill runs, the magnetic element gradually approaches and then gradually moves away from the magnetic sensor. As the magnetic element approaches the magnetic sensor, the magnetic signal detected by the magnetic sensor gradually increases. As the magnetic element moves away from the magnetic sensor, the magnetic signal detected by the magnetic sensor gradually decreases. Therefore, when the magnetic signal is at its maximum, the magnetic element and the magnetic sensor are at their closest distance.
[0056] Based on the above description, the magnetic signal detected by the magnetic sensitive element can be obtained, and the difference between the times when the maximum magnetic signal is detected twice adjacently can be used as the period of the treadmill operation; or, the difference between the times when the maximum magnetic signal is detected twice adjacently can be obtained multiple times, and the average value of the differences between the multiple times can be determined as the period of the treadmill operation.
[0057] As an optional embodiment, adjusting the speed of the motor in the treadmill so that the actual speed and the control speed are consistent includes: obtaining the ratio of the control speed to the actual speed; determining the product of the standard speed of the motor and the ratio as the calibration speed of the motor; and adjusting the speed of the motor to the calibration speed.
[0058] In an alternative embodiment, the displayed speed is V1 (i.e., the control speed described above), the standard motor speed is n1, the measured actual speed is Vt, and n2 is the calibration speed. The following relationship holds between them: n2 / n1 = V1 / Vt. Thus, n2 = (V1 / Vt)*n1, and the motor speed is set to n2. The next time the treadmill is adjusted to the displayed speed V1 (by clicking the speed or acceleration / deceleration buttons on the display), or when one run ends and the next begins, the motor speed automatically adjusts to n2.
[0059] As an optional embodiment, the motor is connected to a drive board, and adjusting the speed of the motor to the calibration speed includes: sending the calibration speed to the drive board, and adjusting the speed of the motor to the calibration speed through the drive board.
[0060] As an optional embodiment, the step of adjusting the speed of the motor to the calibration speed can be performed in real time, that is, the control speed and actual speed of the treadmill belt are obtained in real time, and the motor speed is calibrated according to the comparison result of the control speed and the actual speed. It can also be performed at the following times: when the treadmill is started next time, the speed of the motor is adjusted to the calibration speed; when the specified time point is reached, the speed of the motor is adjusted to the calibration speed; when the treadmill calibration instruction is received, the speed of the motor is adjusted to the calibration speed.
[0061] Specifically, the step of adjusting the speed of the motor to the calibration speed can be performed each time the treadmill is started. A calibration cycle can also be set, and when the time reaches the set cycle, it is a specified time point, and the motor speed is calibrated according to the comparison result of the control speed and the actual speed. In another optional embodiment, when a calibration instruction is received from the user to calibrate the treadmill speed, the motor speed can be calibrated according to the comparison result of the control speed and the actual speed. In another optional embodiment, the motor speed can be calibrated every time the treadmill receives a speed control signal. Through the above scheme, the treadmill speed can be automatically calibrated according to the calibration trigger condition set by the user, without the need for manual measurement of the treadmill speed for calibration on a regular basis.
[0062] As an optional embodiment, the step of obtaining the control speed and actual speed of the treadmill belt includes: obtaining the control speed and actual speed of the treadmill belt when the treadmill carries a target object; after calibrating the current speed of the motor in the treadmill, the method further includes: recording the correspondence between the calibrated speed and the control speed in the motor speed table of the target object, wherein the motor speed table of the target object is used to record the correspondence between multiple control speeds and the calibrated motor speed when the treadmill carries the target object.
[0063] Since different weights and different running postures may have a certain impact on the actual speed of the running belt, the above solution is calibrated accordingly for different users.
[0064] In the above steps, the control speed obtained is the displayed speed of the target subject while running on the treadmill, and the actual speed obtained is the actual measured running speed of the treadmill belt while the target subject is running on the treadmill. A corresponding motor tachometer is set for each target subject, and the correspondence between the control speed and the calibrated motor speed is recorded in the motor tachometer.
[0065] In an optional embodiment, before using the treadmill, the user logs in to their personal account on the treadmill or a smart terminal communicating with the treadmill and begins running on the treadmill. While the user is running, steps S102 to S106 are executed in real time to calibrate the motor speed, thereby obtaining a calibrated motor speed corresponding to the user. The control speed and the corresponding calibrated speed are stored in the user's motor tachometer, so that the next time the user uses the same control speed, the motor will operate at the calibrated speed, thereby ensuring that the actual treadmill speed is close to the control speed.
[0066] As an optional embodiment, the above method also includes: before adjusting the rotational speed of the motor in the treadmill so that the actual speed and the control speed are consistent, the above method also includes: judging whether the difference between the control speed and the actual speed is greater than a preset value; when the difference between the control speed and the actual speed is greater than the preset value, entering the step of adjusting the rotational speed of the motor in the treadmill so that the actual speed and the control speed are consistent.
[0067] In the above steps, the motor speed is calibrated when the difference between the control speed and the actual speed is greater than a preset value, and the motor speed is not calibrated when the difference between the control speed and the actual speed is less than or equal to the preset value.
[0068] If the user has high precision requirements for the treadmill belt speed, the preset value can be set to 0, meaning the motor speed will be calibrated whenever the actual speed differs from the control speed. However, since the treadmill belt speed is significantly affected by surrounding conditions, such as component aging and user weight, calibrating the motor speed only when the actual speed differs from the control speed requires a high number of calibrations. Therefore, a preset value can be set. If the difference between the control speed and the actual speed is greater than the preset value, the current motor speed of the treadmill will be calibrated, thus avoiding the need for frequent motor speed calibration.
[0069] As an optional embodiment, the above method also includes: receiving a treadmill control instruction issued by the target object, wherein the treadmill control instruction includes at least one control speed; obtaining a motor tachometer of the target object, and searching for a motor speed corresponding to the at least one control speed in the motor tachometer of the target object; and controlling the motor of the treadmill to operate according to the motor speed found.
[0070] Specifically, the above-mentioned control instruction is issued by the user to obtain the motor tachometer of the target object. It can be to determine the target object's account after facial recognition of the target object, and obtain the motor tachometer from the account information corresponding to the account, or it can be that the target object logs in to the account and obtains the motor tachometer from the account information corresponding to the account.
[0071] In an optional embodiment, before using the treadmill, the user logs in to a personal account on the treadmill or a smart terminal communicating with the treadmill, selects a speed of 6 km / h, and begins running on the treadmill. The treadmill obtains the user's motor tachometer based on the user's account, searches the motor tachometer for a control speed of 6 km / h, obtains the motor calibration speed corresponding to the control speed, and controls the motor to run at the calibration speed corresponding to 6 km / h in the motor tachometer. It can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiment of the present application, in addition to achieving automatic speed calibration of the treadmill, can also perform corresponding speed calibration operations based on the impact of different users on the treadmill speed, thereby making the treadmill adaptable to users of different weights and different running postures. In other words, regardless of the user's weight or running posture, the treadmill can calibrate the speed through the above-mentioned solution and provide the user with an accurate speed.
[0072] The above solution uses sensors to identify the markers on the running belt in real time, determines the running belt speed at different speeds for different users at different usage times of the treadmill, records these speeds, and compensates for the actual motor speed. This ensures that no matter what weight or running posture the user uses the treadmill, the running belt speed can be the same as the control speed, that is, the effect of constant nominal speed and actual speed is achieved.

[0092] a marker for marking a target position of the treadmill;
[0093] a sensor, configured to detect identification information generated based on the identifier;
[0094] The processor communicates with the sensor and is used to obtain the actual speed of the running belt based on the identification information, obtain the control speed of the treadmill, and adjust the speed of the motor in the treadmill so that the actual speed and the control speed are consistent.
[0095] Specifically, the processor can obtain the calibrated speed of the motor according to the control speed of the treadmill and the actual speed of the running belt, and send the calibrated speed to the driving board, which adjusts the speed of the motor to the calibrated speed through the driving board.
[0096] As an optional embodiment, the treadmill further includes: an image acquisition device and a marker arranged at a target position on the running belt, and the processor is further used to acquire an image of the running belt through the image acquisition device; determine the appearance period of the identification information based on the image, wherein the identification information is generated by the marker in the image.
[0097] Specifically, the image acquisition device may be a camera, either mounted on the treadmill or located within the treadmill's environment. The marker may be a highlighted bar-shaped marker affixed horizontally to the surface of the treadmill. The image acquisition device can capture the treadmill's movement, wherein the time difference between two consecutive occurrences of the marker information at the same location on the treadmill is the marker's appearance period. To obtain more accurate calculation results, the time difference between two consecutive occurrences of the marker information at the same location can be obtained multiple times, and the average of these multiple time differences can be determined as the marker's appearance period.
[0098] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a treadmill according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the treadmill has a camera 20 that can capture the movement of the running belt. A marker 21 is fixed to the running belt. The camera 20 captures the running belt. Based on the captured images, the time difference between two consecutive occurrences of the marker information at the same location (e.g., location 22 on the treadmill) is determined. The average of these multiple time differences is used to determine the marker appearance period. Based on the known running belt circumference, the actual running belt speed can be determined.
[0099] As an optional embodiment, the treadmill further includes: a magnetic sensitive element and a magnetic element arranged at a target position of the running belt, and the processor is further used to detect identification information through the magnetic sensitive element, wherein the identification information is used to represent the magnetic signal generated by the magnetic element; and the occurrence period of the identification information is determined based on the magnetic signal.
[0100] Specifically, the magnetic element can be positioned at a fixed location within the treadmill. During operation, the magnetic element gradually approaches and then gradually moves away from the magnetic sensor. As the magnetic element approaches the magnetic sensor, the magnetic signal detected by the magnetic sensor increases. As the magnetic element moves away from the magnetic sensor, the magnetic signal decreases. Therefore, the maximum magnetic signal indicates the closest distance between the magnetic element and the magnetic sensor.
[0101] Based on the above description, the magnetic signal detected by the magnetic sensitive element can be obtained, and the difference between the times when the maximum magnetic signal is detected twice adjacently can be used as the period of the treadmill; or, the difference between the times when the maximum magnetic signal is detected twice adjacently can be obtained multiple times, and the average value of the differences between the multiple times can be determined as the period of the treadmill.
