Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of fitness equipment, in particular to a spring-based constant-force strength training resistance source. Background Art
[0002] Strength training equipment is a common equipment in gyms, fitness centers, and health centers. It is an effective tool for strength training and fitness shaping. At present, the weight of strength training equipment is mostly plug-in type, and the weight during training is adjusted by latches and selector shafts. The characteristic of this kind of weight block is constant resistance. Whether it is exerting force or retracting force, the weight is constant. However, since the size of the resistance is determined by the weight of the iron weight block, the heavier the weight, the higher the cost and the heavier the equipment. In order to improve the bulkiness of the equipment and reduce costs, some strength training products began to choose springs as the source of resistance. However, because the elastic force of the spring is proportional to the deformation, taking the tension spring as an example, the tension of the spring increases linearly with the stretched length of the spring. When the trainer uses this equipment for training, the training effect and experience are not as good as the traditional weight block equipment. In order to solve the problem of uneven resistance of the spring resistance source, we designed a low-cost, spring-based constant force strength training resistance source, which improved the training experience, reduced product costs, and achieved product upgrades. Summary of the invention
[0003] The present invention provides a spring-based constant-force strength training resistance source, characterized in that the strength training resistance source comprises a frame, a variable-diameter wheel assembly, a guide shaft, a pull rope A, a pull rope B, a spring assembly, a latch, a latch fixing plate and a fixed pulley; the guide shaft and the latch fixing plate are fixedly mounted on the frame; the variable-diameter wheel assembly and the fixed pulley are mounted on the frame and can rotate freely; the spring assembly passes through the guide shaft and can move along the guide shaft; the spring assembly comprises a movable pulley, a spring frame, a spring upper fixing pin, a spring, a spring lower preload pin and a spring fixing block; the spring adopts a tension spring; the movable pulley is fixed on the top of the spring frame, and the upper end of the spring is connected to the spring frame by the spring The upper fixing pin is fixed to the upper end of the spring frame, the lower end of the spring is fixed to the lower end of the spring frame through the lower spring preload pin, and the spring fixing block is connected to the lower end of the spring through the lower spring preload pin; the latch is inserted into the spring fixing block and the latch fixing plate; the variable diameter wheel assembly includes a variable diameter wheel and a variable diameter wheel axle; the variable diameter wheel is fixedly mounted on the variable diameter wheel axle; one end of the pull rope A is fixed to the top of the frame, and the other end of the pull rope is fixed to the variable diameter wheel after passing through the movable pulley on the upper part of the spring assembly; one end of the pull rope B is fixed to the variable diameter wheel, and the other end passes around the fixed pulley to serve as the output end of the strength training resistance source.
[0004] One side of the variable-diameter wheel is a cylinder for winding the pull rope A, and the other side is a frustum for winding the pull rope B. On the frustum part of the variable-diameter wheel, there are spiral grooves on the wheel circumference, and the pull rope B winds from the large end to the small end along the grooves. The winding direction of the pull rope A is opposite to that of the pull rope B. The spring in the spring assembly needs to be pre-tightened, and the magnitude of the pre-tightening force is set according to requirements.
[0005] A spring-based constant force strength training resistance source and implementation method, characterized by including the following steps: ① Select the number of springs, the pre-tightening force of a single spring, and the maximum working elastic force according to the resistance size of the resistance source and the grading requirements. Generally, the pre-tightening force is selected to be one-third of the maximum working elastic force. ② Calculate the working length L of the spring according to the elastic coefficient of the spring, that is, the length by which the spring elongates from pre-tightening to the maximum working elastic force of the spring. Then the winding length of the pull rope A wound around the variable-diameter wheel during spring stretching is 2L. Assuming the diameter of the cylindrical part of the variable-diameter wheel around which the pull rope A is wound is D, the number of turns of the pull rope winding is N = 2L / (3.14 * D). For the frustum part of the variable-diameter wheel around which the pull rope B is wound, where the small end diameter is D, the large end diameter is 3D, and the pitch of the spiral groove is P, then the height H of the frustum = P * N. ③ One end of the pull rope A is first fixed to the cylindrical end of the variable-diameter wheel, and then the pull rope A passes through the movable pulley at the upper part of the spring assembly and is fixed to the top of the frame to keep the pull rope A in a tense state. ④ One end of the pull rope B is fixed to the shaft at the large end of the frustum of the variable-diameter wheel, winds from the spiral groove at the large end of the frustum, leads out after winding around the small end of the frustum, and passes through the fixed pulley fixed on the frame as the output end of the strength training resistance source. ⑤ When the pull rope B is input outwards, the pull rope A starts to wind around the cylinder of the variable-diameter wheel, and the spring is stretched. When the pull rope B is retracted, the pull rope A starts to unwind from the cylinder of the variable-diameter wheel, and the spring retracts. ⑥ When the plug is inserted into the spring fixing block and the plug fixing plate, the corresponding spring participates in the work of the resistance source. When the plug is pulled out from the spring fixing block and the plug fixing plate, the corresponding spring does not participate in the work of the resistance source.
[0006] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Low cost. Compared with the traditional iron breeding block resistance source, the cost of the spring is much lower under the same resistance, and the greater the resistance, the more obvious the cost advantage.
[0007] 2. Stable resistance. The present invention converts the linear change of the spring elastic force into stable and consistent through the variable-diameter wheel, realizes the stable output of the resistance, and at the same time, due to the light weight of the spring, it provides support for the lightweight and miniaturization of the strength training device.
