[0027] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. The present invention includes but is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0028] As Figure 1 , the present invention provides a fitness power generation device, which includes a main frame 1, a slidable seat 2 and a handle 3 are arranged on the main frame 1, a one-way shaft 4 is arranged inside the main frame, a elastic rope 5 is wound and connected on the one-way shaft 4, the elastic rope 5 is connected to the rowing machine handle 7 through a pulley assembly 6, and both ends of the one-way shaft 4 are connected to a pedal crank 8.

[0029] The new equipment combines a traditional spinning bike and a rowing machine. The unified combination of the equipment not only realizes the multi-purpose use of one device, but also saves the occupied space at home. In the scenario of configuring fitness equipment at home, it has extremely high cost performance. After the user uses the rowing machine for anaerobic exercise and exercises the back muscles, they only need to simply organize the equipment ropes, and then they can continue to use the equipment for aerobic exercise to further efficiently reduce fat.

[0030] Furthermore, a heart rate detection system is arranged on the handle of this embodiment, as Figure 5 .

[0031] The heart rate detection system is mainly divided into five parts: a power supply module, a signal acquisition module, a main control module, a communication module, and a processing module;

[0032] Among them, the power supply module is responsible for supplying power to the heart rate detection system; the signal acquisition module is used to collect pulse signals and transmit them to the main control module through an analog-to-digital converter; the main control module is responsible for storing the collected signals and transmitting them through the communication module; the communication module is responsible for transmitting data to the PC side; the processing module is responsible for processing the pulse signals and calculating the heart rate.

[0033] A generator 10 is also provided on the main frame, and a first gear 9 is provided on the pedal crank. The input end of the generator 10 is engaged with the first gear 9 through a second gear 11;

[0034] The power output end of the generator is connected to the input end of the multifunctional display. The output end of the multifunctional display is connected to the input end of the power management system. The output end of the power management system is respectively connected to the energy storage part, the multi-channel power output port, and the mobile phone charging device. At the same time, the energy storage part is connected to the multi-channel power output port and the mobile phone charging device.

[0035] A wireless data transmission module is also provided in the multifunctional intelligent platform, and the data input end of the wireless data transmission module is connected to the multifunctional display.

[0036] On the one hand, the pedal crank drives the first gear to rotate. The input end of the generator is engaged with the first gear through the second gear, so that the generator generates electricity. On the other hand, when the rowing machine handle is pulled, the elastic rope passes through the pulley assembly and the rowing machine handle, thereby driving the one-way shaft to rotate, driving the first gear to rotate, and the input end of the generator is engaged with the first gear through the second gear, so that the generator generates electricity.

[0037] By generating electricity through the same kind of gears, the kinetic energy generated by the user during exercise is converted into chemical energy through the power generation device and stored in the storage battery, realizing the integration of power generation, energy storage, and energy supply. This function visualizes and concretizes the energy generated by people's exercise, which can mobilize the enthusiasm of fitness people and improve the sense of achievement of fitness people.

[0038] It should be noted that in this embodiment of the fitness equipment, a permanent magnet generator is selected for the generator. At present, there are many types of generators on the market. Considering the space and shape requirements of the new equipment and its usage positioning, we decided to use a disk-type permanent magnet generator. The mechanical energy input of the generator comes from the user's pedal movement. A large generator is not required, and a micro-generator can meet the energy supply needs. In addition, micro-generators can usually be connected to different electronic devices through different interfaces, and can be used to charge small electronic products such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and digital cameras, which is extremely suitable for the product's use. To fit the bicycle power generation, we designed the shape of the motor to be disk-type. Since three-phase electricity is more efficient and stable, it is more suitable for the transmission and distribution of electrical energy than single-phase electricity. Here, we designed the disk-type permanent magnet generator to generate three-phase alternating current.

[0039] When the load is constant, the relationship between the voltage and speed of the generator is called the speed-load characteristic. The terminal voltage of the generator can be approximately written as:

[0040] In the formula: xd = xs + xa; xa - armature reaction reactance; xs - leakage reactance of the stator winding; R - generator load; r - resistance of the generator stator winding. Among them: E and xd are proportional to the speed n. When n is very small, xd is very small. Since (r + R) >> xd, xd in the denominator can be ignored, and the u = f(n) curve is close to a straight line. As the speed increases, xd increases, while (r + R) remains almost unchanged (R may increase slightly).

[0041] The system circuit structure is as Figure 3 , and a new type of adjustable DC regulated power supply design with a single-chip microcomputer system as the core is adopted. It is mainly composed of a chopper circuit and an AT89S52 single-chip microcomputer control system.

[0042] In the main circuit, a commonly used three-phase bridge uncontrolled rectifier is used for the rectifier filter circuit. The rectifier filter circuit is used to convert alternating current into direct current. In order to make the structure relatively simple, its diodes are processed according to the ideal model. The principle of the rectifier filter circuit is as Figure 3 shown. Here, a bridge rectifier circuit is adopted mainly because the capacitor circuit of the bridge rectifier circuit is relatively simple, the output voltage is high, the ripple voltage is small, and the efficiency is high.

[0043] The regulated power supply circuit is a buck chopper circuit implemented by a high-power device IGBT.

[0044] The control circuit uses the AT89S52 single-chip microcomputer as the logic controller to control the implementation of logic. The keyboard and display circuit are used for human-computer interaction to display and set system data. The ADC0809 analog-to-digital conversion circuit feeds the real-time voltage of the system back to the single-chip microcomputer for processing by the single-chip microcomputer. The function of the detection and protection circuit is to protect the ADC0809 detection circuit. Since the output voltage of the system is relatively high and cannot be directly connected to the ADC0809 detection circuit, it is necessary to convert the system output voltage to the range that can be detected by the ADC0809 through the detection and protection circuit before connecting it to the voltage detection circuit.

[0045] Through the above system, the unstable alternating current generated by the disk generator is converted into stable direct current to charge the battery, and then the battery is used as the energy center to distribute energy.

[0046] Such as Figure 4 , the rectifier consists of four diodes connected in a bridge, and the circuit that converts alternating current to direct current is a single-phase bridge rectifier circuit.

[0047] During the positive half-cycle, diodes D1 and D3 conduct, and the positive half-cycle of the sine wave is obtained on the load resistor. When the voltage u on the secondary side of the transformer is in the positive half-cycle, its polarity is positive at the top and negative at the bottom, that is, the potential of point a is higher than that of point b. Diodes D1 and D3 conduct, and D2 and D4 are cut off. The path of current i1 is a→D1→R2→D3→b. At this time, a half-wave voltage is obtained on the load resistor RL.

[0048] During the negative half-cycle, diodes D2 and D4 conduct, and the negative half-cycle of the sine wave is obtained on the load resistor. When the voltage u is in the negative half-cycle, the polarity of the secondary side of the transformer is negative at the top and positive at the bottom, that is, the potential of point b is higher than that of point a. Therefore, D1 and D3 are cut off, D2 and D4 conduct, and the path of current i2 is b→D2→RL→D4→a. Similarly, a half-wave voltage is obtained on the load resistor.

[0049] After the positive and negative half-cycles are synthesized on the load resistor, a unidirectional pulsating voltage in the same direction is obtained.

[0050] The energy storage part is placed inside the bracket, and the power output terminal of the generator is connected to the input terminal of the energy storage part.

[0051] The energy storage part includes a battery pack and an overcharge and over-discharge protection unit.

[0052] The overcharge and over-discharge protection unit includes a controllable IC. The controllable IC is responsible for measuring the battery voltage and the circuit current, and controlling the gates of two metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors. The metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors act as switches in the circuit, respectively controlling the conduction and cut-off of the charging circuit and the discharging circuit. A delay capacitor is designed so that the circuit has functions of overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, over-current protection and short-circuit protection.

Those skilled in the art of this technology can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods for substitution. As long as they do not deviate from the structure of the invention or exceed the scope defined by this claims, they should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
