Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of assisted exercise devices, and particularly to a pedal-assisted device and an exercise method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Traditional methods for alleviating wrist fatigue include adding a suction cup assembly to fix the toy to a wall or furniture, and adopting a technical solution of using an electric motor to drive a lead screw to drive the toy to move. However, these existing technologies have obvious limitations: directly using the handheld toy will cause the user's wrist to quickly fatigue; although the suction cup assembly can alleviate this problem to a certain extent, its flexibility and scope of application are limited. Further, although the electric drive device can effectively reduce the wrist burden, it introduces higher costs and technical complexities, usually including components such as an electric driver and a voltage conversion device, increasing the overall cost and maintenance difficulty of the device. In addition, some electric devices even need to be controlled through a smartphone application, which not only raises the user's usage threshold but also increases the learning cost, restricting the convenient use by people of different ages and technical backgrounds. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned various problems and provides a pedal-assisted device and an exercise method thereof.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is: a pedal-assisted device, comprising:

[0005] A connecting bracket for connecting the transmission rod and the toy;

[0006] A transmission rod connecting the sleeve and the connecting bracket, and transmitting force to the toy under the drive of the sleeve;

[0007] A sleeve connecting the transmission rod and realizing reciprocating motion by squeezing or releasing a return spring;

[0008] A return spring applying tension to the sleeve and the return spring base, and supporting the sleeve to bounce back to its original position when the user reduces the foot pressure on the sleeve;

[0009] A sleeve foot fixed on the sleeve as an operating point for the user to apply a downward pressure to the sleeve;

[0010] A return spring base connecting the sleeve and the device base, limiting the movement trajectory of the sleeve and applying a supporting force to the return spring;

[0011] A device base providing support for the entire device;

[0012] The upper end of the device base is connected to a recoil spring base. The outer end of the recoil spring base is slidably sleeved with a sleeve. A recoil spring is connected between the inner wall of the sleeve and the recoil spring base. The outside of the sleeve is fixedly connected to a sleeve footrest. The upper end of the sleeve is connected to a transmission rod, and the upper end of the transmission rod is connected to a connecting bracket.

[0013] As an improvement, the sleeve must compress the recoil spring with the recoil spring base, and the sleeve footrest is directly fixed to the sleeve.

[0014] As an improvement, the moving direction of the sleeve is the up and down direction, and the sleeve is located above the recoil spring base.

[0015] As an improvement, the maximum physical diameter range of the recoil spring base is between 35 and 400.

[0016] As an improvement, a training method using a pedal-assisted device according to claim 1 includes the following steps:

[0017] The user presses down the sleeve footrest with one foot, causing the sleeve to move downward and drive the toy downward, while compressing the recoil spring;

[0018] When the user lifts the footrest, due to the tension of the recoil spring, the sleeve is pushed upward, and the toy is driven upward through the transmission rod to complete a complete reciprocating motion.

[0019] The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0020] The pedal-assisted device and its usage method provided by the present invention realize the function of driving a soft toy to perform reciprocating motion without holding by innovative design, effectively alleviating the wrist fatigue problem that is prone to occur when users operate similar toys in the traditional hand-held manner. The maximum physical diameter range of the recoil spring base is set to 35 mm to 400 mm, ensuring the stability and applicability of the device and meeting the requirements in different scenarios. At the same time, the device utilizes the extrusion and release mechanism between the sleeve and the recoil spring base, and cooperates with the user's pedal action to drive the toy, which not only simplifies the operation process but also reduces the technical cost, avoiding the complexity and high cost problems brought by electric devices. In addition, the design of the present invention enables users to easily get started without mastering complex mechatronic control knowledge or relying on additional intelligent devices, greatly reducing the usage threshold and learning cost and improving the user experience.

[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "center", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation structure and operation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "provided with", "installed", "connected", "coupled", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, it can be a mechanical connection, it can be an electrical connection, it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] Combined with the attached Figure 1 —attached Figure 3 The device includes seven key components: a connecting bracket, a transmission rod, a sleeve, a return spring, a sleeve pedal, a return spring base, and a device base. First, the device base serves as the basic support structure of the entire device, and the return spring base is connected to its upper end. This base is used to define the movement trajectory of the sleeve and apply a supporting force to the return spring. A sleeve is slidably sleeved outside the return spring base, and a return spring is provided between the inner wall of the sleeve and the return spring base. The up-and-down reciprocating movement of the sleeve is achieved by squeezing or releasing the return spring.

[0028] The sleeve pedal is fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve. The user applies a downward pressure by stepping on the sleeve pedal with one foot, causing the sleeve to move downward along the return spring base, and at the same time driving the transmission rod connected to the upper end of the sleeve to move downward, thereby driving the toy connected to the transmission rod to perform a corresponding downward movement. When the user releases the foot pressure, the return spring pushes the sleeve back to its original position due to the elastic restoring force, thereby driving the toy to move upward, completing a complete reciprocating movement.

[0029] To ensure that the sleeve can effectively compress the recoil spring and provide sufficient reset force, the sleeve must be directly fixed to the sleeve pedal, and the sleeve is located above the base of the recoil spring. In addition, considering the requirements of different application scenarios, the maximum physical diameter of the recoil spring base is designed to be between 35 mm and 400 mm to ensure the stability and applicability of the device in various usage scenarios.

[0030] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0031] The extrusion mechanism between the sleeve and the recoil spring base: In this device, the outer side of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the sleeve pedal. The user applies a downward force by stepping on the pedal, causing the sleeve to slide and move downward along the recoil spring base. During this process, the sleeve squeezes the recoil spring located between its inner wall and the recoil spring base.

[0032] The function of the recoil spring: The recoil spring plays a crucial role here. When the user presses down the sleeve pedal, the recoil spring is compressed and stores energy; when the user releases the pedal pressure, the recoil spring, due to its elastic properties, attempts to return to its original state, thereby generating an upward thrust to push the sleeve back to its original position.

[0033] The transmission rod transmits force: The upper end of the sleeve is connected to a transmission rod, which is then connected to a connecting bracket and finally connected to the toy. Therefore, whether the user presses down the sleeve pedal causing the sleeve to move downward or the recoil spring pushes the sleeve upward, these actions will be transmitted to the toy through the transmission rod, enabling it to complete the corresponding up-and-down reciprocating motion.

[0034] Limiting the movement trajectory and stability: The recoil spring base not only supports the recoil spring but also serves to limit the movement trajectory of the sleeve, ensuring that the sleeve moves only in the up-and-down direction, increasing the stability and reliability of the operation of the entire device.

[0035] Through the above specific implementation manners, the foot-operated booster device provided by the present invention not only realizes the function of driving the soft toy to perform reciprocating motion without the need to hold it by hand, but also significantly reduces the user's usage threshold and technical cost, avoiding the complexity and high cost problems brought by traditional electric devices. The user only needs to perform a simple foot operation to easily enjoy the fun of exercise, greatly improving the user experience and convenience.

[0036] The above describes the present invention and its implementation manners. This description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Generally speaking, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and, without departing from the gist of the present invention, creatively design a structural manner similar to this technical solution to cover the embodiments, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
