Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fitness equipment technology, and in particular to a power bike control system and control method. Background Technology
[0002] A power vehicle is a device used to test a subject's anaerobic endurance and work capacity, and it works by applying the principle of mechanical resistance.
[0003] The existing power bike has a device at the front to hang counterweights. Different counterweights are hung according to the weight of the test subject, usually 7.5% of the test subject's weight. During the test, the test subject is asked to pedal the bike at a fast speed, and then the counterweights are quickly dropped. The test subject is then asked to continue pedaling for 30 seconds.
[0004] However, this type of power vehicle generally requires two people to operate. One person needs to quickly lower the counterweight while the other person presses the test start button. The operation of the two people will produce a time deviation, and since the deviation is caused by human factors, the deviation is uncontrollable and affects the final test results. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a power vehicle control system and control method, which can solve one or more of the above technical problems.
[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a power vehicle control system is provided, comprising:
[0007] Input module, speed detection module, counterweight detection module, timing module, data analysis module, output module, and control module;
[0008] The input module is connected to the control module and is used to receive the counterweight data input by the user.
[0009] The speed detection module is connected to the control module. The speed detection module is used to collect the current speed of the vehicle and send it to the control module.
[0010] The counterweight detection module is connected to the control module. The counterweight detection module is used to collect the current status of each counterweight block and send it to the control module.
[0011] The timing module is connected to the control module. The timing module is used to receive the start timing command issued by the control module and start timing, and to send back the timing end information to the control module when the timing ends.
[0012] The data analysis module is connected to the control module. The data analysis module is used to receive the command to start data analysis issued by the control module, perform data analysis, and send the data analysis results to the control module.
[0013] The output module is connected to the control module and is used to display the information about the end of the timing and the data analysis results.
[0014] The control module is used to obtain the current speed of the power vehicle and the state of the counterweight. Based on the current speed of the power vehicle and the state of the counterweight, it controls the electromagnet to be powered on or off, sends a command to the timing module to start timing and a command to the data analysis module to analyze data, and receives the data analysis results sent back by the data analysis module and the timing end information sent back by the timing module and sends them to the output module for display.
[0015] According to another aspect of the present invention, a power vehicle control method is provided, applied to the power vehicle control system of any of the above claims, comprising the following steps:
[0016] Step 1.1: Power on the power vehicle control system;
[0017] Step 1.2: The control module obtains the position of the counterweight through the counterweight detection module. If the counterweight is not in the initial position, proceed to step 1.3; if the counterweight is in the initial position, proceed to step 1.4.
[0018] Step 1.3: The control module controls the electromagnet to be energized, the electromagnet is attracted, the counterweight reaches the initial position, and then returns to step 1.2;
[0019] Step 1.4: The control module sends a command to the timing module to start timing, and obtains the real-time speed of the power vehicle through the speed detection module. The timing module starts to execute the timing task of the first time period. The first time period is preset. During the timing of the first time period, if the speed of the power vehicle is always 0, then step 1.5 is executed; if the speed of the power vehicle is not 0, then step 1.6 is executed.
[0020] Step 1.5: The control module de-energizes the electromagnet, causing it to disconnect and the counterweight to fall to the test position, waiting for the system to be powered on again;
[0021] Step 1.6: The control module obtains the current speed of the power vehicle and determines whether the current operating status of the power vehicle meets the conditions for the counterweight to fall. If the current operating status of the power vehicle does not meet the conditions for the counterweight to fall, it returns to step 1.4. If the current operating status of the power vehicle meets the conditions for the counterweight to fall, it executes step 1.7.
[0022] Step 1.7: The control module de-energizes the electromagnet, causing it to disconnect and the counterweight to fall. The control module obtains the position of the counterweight through the counterweight detection module. If the counterweight falls to the test position, then proceed to step 1.8.
[0023] Step 1.8: The control module sends a command to the timing module to start timing. The timing module begins to execute the timing task for the second time period. At the same time, the control module sends a command to the data analysis module to perform data analysis. The data analysis module performs data analysis based on the power vehicle speed and counterweight status sent by the control module.
[0024] Step 1.9: The control module receives the timing end information from the timing module and the data analysis results from the data analysis module, and displays them to the user through the output module.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The speed detection module and the counterweight detection module detect the state of the power bike and the counterweight, while the control module controls the energization and de-energization of the electromagnet. This eliminates the need for multiple operators, avoids human error, and makes the test results more accurate. The timing module times the pedaling time after the counterweight falls and provides a prompt to the user through the output module, further improving the accuracy of the test results and enhancing the user experience. The data obtained by the speed detection module and the counterweight detection module can be sent by the control module to the data analysis module, making the data used in data analysis more comprehensive, accurate, and valuable for reference. The control module can control the rise and fall of the counterweight by energizing and de-energizing the electromagnet. When the power bike is not in use, the electromagnet can be de-energized, avoiding the impact of prolonged electromagnet engagement on its lifespan, extending the overall lifespan of the power bike, improving the user experience, and making the power bike more economical.
