Summary of the invention

[0005] A control method for a simulated surfing sports equipment is used to control the operation of the simulated surfing sports equipment with a motor, wherein the motor is used as a power source for the operation of the equipment when powered on, and as a resistance source for the operation of the equipment when powered off; by switching the power-on and power-off states of the motor of the equipment during operation, a complete operation process of the equipment is divided into the following operation modes:

[0008] And each working mode can be switched.

[0009] Compared with the existing sports equipment simulating surfing, the control method of the present application has at least two switchable sports modes, which solves the problem of the single operation mode of the existing equipment. Among them, the motor continues to operate with damping after power failure, and the sports load can be selectively increased to form an electric mode suitable for beginners and a manual mode suitable for seniors, thus meeting the sports needs of different groups of people.

[0014] Optionally, the control method also includes a power-assist mode, in which the motor can be controllably energized intermittently when the device is working, serving as a power source when powered on and as a resistance source when powered off.

[0015] Optionally, in the power-assisting mode, the start command and the stop command are executed cyclically in sequence to form intermittent power-on.

[0016] Optionally, the device is preset with a start triggering condition for triggering a start instruction, and a stop triggering condition for triggering a stop instruction.

[0017] Optionally, the control method uses the acceleration of the motor rotor rotation as a start trigger condition, and when the acceleration of the motor rotor rotation reaches a preset value, the controller controls the motor to be powered on.

[0018] Optionally, in the power-assist mode, the rotation speed of the motor's rotor is used as a stop trigger condition, and when the rotation speed of the motor's rotor reaches a preset value, the controller controls the motor to cut off power.

[0019] Optionally, the control method also includes an auxiliary starting mode, wherein the controller energizes the motor as a power source after receiving a start command; when the rotation speed of the motor's rotor triggers a stop trigger condition, the controller executes a stop command to cut off power to the motor as a resistance source.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0021] The present application controls the power-on and power-off states of the motor, so that the motor can be used as both a power source and a resistance source to participate in the operation of the device simulating surfing. In addition, the motor is powered on according to different conditions to form an electric mode, a manual mode, a power-assist mode, and an auxiliary start mode.

[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a central component. When a component is referred to as being "disposed on" another component, it may be directly disposed on the other component or there may be a central component at the same time.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0029] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present application, a surfing simulation device includes a base 1 and a movable pedal 3, wherein the pedal 3 is used to simulate a surfboard during surfing.

[0030] The base 1 and the pedal 3 are movably connected via the swing arm 2, and both ends of the swing arm 2 are respectively connected to the base 1 and the pedal 3 by hinges, so that the pedal 3 can swing with the swing arm 2 to simulate the ups and downs of the motion posture when surfing.

[0031] The device also includes a motor 4 and a controller 5 for controlling the operation of the motor. The motor 4 is connected to the swing arm 2 by a transmission assembly 6. When powered on, the motor 4 drives the swing arm 2 to swing back and forth around one end hinged to the base 1.

[0032] It should be noted that the swing arm 2 is connected to the bottom of the pedal 3 near the middle. Since the pedal 3 is hinged to the swing arm 2, when the pedal 3 swings with the swing arm 2, the two ends of the pedal 3 can swing back and forth up and down around the hinge with the swing arm 2.

[0033] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 6 is also movably connected to one end of the pedal 3, and when the pedal 3 is driven to swing back and forth up and down at the hinge of the swing arm 2, the swing arm 2 can be driven to swing back and forth left and right, and the motor 4 can be driven to rotate, so as to realize bidirectional transmission from the motor to the pedal and from the pedal to the motor.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, a control method for a simulated surfing sports device is disclosed, which is used to control the operation of the above-mentioned simulated surfing sports device. The controller 5 converts the power-on and power-off states of the motor of the above-mentioned device during operation. When powered on, the motor 4 serves as a power source for the operation of the device, providing power for the operation of the device and reducing the work required by the user to operate the device; when powered off, the motor 4 serves as a resistance source for the operation of the device and increases the work required by the user to operate the device.

[0035] According to the power on and off of the motor during the complete working process from start to stop of the equipment, the following working modes can be distinguished: electric mode, manual mode, power mode, and auxiliary starting mode. And the above four working modes can be switched between each other.

[0036] The electric mode means that after the device starts working, the motor 4 is continuously powered on as a power source to provide power for the operation of the device until the work is finished. It can be suitable for people with poor physical strength or beginners to reduce the physical consumption of users when the device is running.

[0037] The manual mode means that the motor 4 is always powered off when the device is working. The motor 4 acts as a resistance source and adds damping to the operation of the device in the form of magnetic resistance. It can meet the needs of people who need to increase the weight of exercise, increase the body's review during exercise, and increase the energy consumed by exercise.

[0038] The power-assist mode means that after the device starts working, the controller 5 intermittently energizes the motor 4, which serves as a power source when powered on and as a resistance source when powered off. The motor 4 provides power when powered on and creates resistance when powered off, thereby meeting the need for power assistance for the user when the device is running for a long time.

[0039] The auxiliary start mode means that after the device starts working, the controller 5 first powers on the motor 4 to make the device run, and after the device is running, the controller 5 powers off the motor 4. In the auxiliary start mode, the motor 4 can be started to a predetermined motion frequency, and then the controller 5 controls the motor 4 to power off and switch to manual operation, which saves physical strength for the user when the device is just started, and enables the device to quickly reach a suitable motion frequency.

[0040] In the above control method, a start instruction is used to control the motor to be powered on, and a stop instruction is used to control the motor to be powered off. The start instruction and the stop instruction are received and executed by the controller 5.

[0041] In the above electric mode, the start command and the stop command are executed once each.

[0042] In the power-assisting mode, the power is intermittently supplied, and the controller 5 executes the start command and the stop command cyclically in sequence.

[0043] In one embodiment, the controller 5 has a wireless signal receiving device for wirelessly receiving the start command and the stop command.

[0044] Furthermore, a start command and a stop command may be sent to the controller 5 via an external remote control device.

[0045] Furthermore, an external remote control device can be used to issue a command to the controller 5 to switch the current working mode. It should be explained that each working mode is pre-programmed in the controller and can be switched between each other through a physical switch or external communication.

[0046] To make the operation of the above device smoother, in one embodiment, the device is preset with a start trigger condition for triggering a start instruction and a stop trigger condition for triggering a stop instruction. When the start trigger condition and the stop trigger condition are triggered, the controller 5 automatically executes the start instruction or the stop instruction.

[0047] In some embodiments, the acceleration of the rotor rotation of the motor 4 after power failure can be used as a start trigger condition, and the rotor rotation speed of the motor 4 when power is on can be used as a stop trigger condition.

[0048] The above-mentioned start triggering condition can be understood as that, in the power-off state, the user accelerates the operation of the device by doing work by himself, thereby judging that the user has the need for the device to accelerate operation, and then the controller 5 executes the start instruction to operate the motor 4. For example, an acceleration of the rotation of the rotor of the motor 4 is preset, and when the acceleration of the rotation of the rotor of the motor 4 reaches the preset value, the controller 5 controls the motor 4 to be powered on.

[0049] The above-mentioned start trigger condition can also use the swing frequency of the swing arm 2 when the power is off as a trigger condition. When the swing frequency of the swing arm 2 increases, it can be understood that the user has a need to accelerate the operation of the device.

[0050] Similarly, the increase in the frequency of the up and down swing of the pedal 3 or the increase in the operating frequency of the transmission assembly 6 can also be detected as a start trigger condition.

[0051] In one embodiment, the stop triggering condition refers to triggering a stop command in a power-on state to stop the motor 4 from running.

[0052] In the power-assist mode or the auxiliary start mode, in order to ensure the safety of the user, the maximum operating frequency of the device needs to be set, and the maximum operating frequency can be used as a stop trigger condition.

[0053] Furthermore, to improve comfort, since each user can adapt to different device operating frequencies during device operation, the stop trigger condition can be used to make free adjustments, but the upper limit of the adjustment is the above-mentioned maximum operating frequency.

[0054] The above-mentioned maximum operating frequency can be detected by the rotation speed of the motor 4, the up and down swing frequency of the pedal 3, the operating frequency of the transmission assembly 6, and the swing frequency of the swing arm 2. For example, a rotation speed value of the motor 4 is preset, and when the rotation speed of the motor 4 reaches the preset value, the controller 4 controls the motor to cut off power.

[0055] In the electric mode, the stop trigger condition is to use an external remote controller to remotely stop the device. The stop trigger condition can also be detected by detecting the decrease in the speed of the motor 4, the decrease in the up and down swing frequency of the pedal 3, the decrease in the operating frequency of the transmission component 6, and the decrease in the swing frequency of the swing arm 2, that is, the user does work in the opposite direction, which opposes the motor 4 driving the pedal movement, and the reduction in the operating frequency of the device caused by the opposition serves as a stop instruction for the device.

[0056] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When the technical features in different embodiments are embodied in the same figure, it can be regarded that the figure also discloses the combination examples of the various embodiments involved.

[0057] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
