Detailed Implementation
[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example
[0014] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this invention patent discloses a magnetically controlled variable resistance system for a dynamic bicycle, including: an execution module, a sensing module, a control module, an external power supply module, a display module, and a communication module; The execution module includes a ring-shaped permanent magnet, an electromagnetic coil group, and a U-shaped integrated bracket. The ring-shaped permanent magnet consists of 16 permanent magnets uniformly fixed to the outer wall of the transmission wheel. The magnetic poles of the 16 permanent magnets are in the same direction. The electromagnetic coil group has a total of 8 coils, which are divided into 4 groups. Each group has 2 coils connected in series. The 4 groups of coils are evenly distributed inside the U-shaped integrated bracket with the center of the transmission wheel as the center. The two coils in each group are symmetrically arranged inside the U-shaped integrated bracket. The sensing module includes a pressure sensor and a Hall sensor installed in the seat. The pressure sensor is used to detect seat pressure and identify riding posture, and the Hall sensor is used to collect permanent magnet rotation pulse signals to calculate the rotation speed of the ring permanent magnet. The control module includes a main control unit, a relay, and four driver chips. The main control unit has a built-in signal amplifier and filter. The main control unit is connected to the communication unit, relay, pressure sensor, Hall sensor, display module, and communication module via wiring harnesses. The relay has a built-in four-way switch and is connected to the four driver chips via wiring harnesses. The four driver chips are connected to four groups of coils via wiring harnesses, enabling independent switching and current regulation of the coil groups. The external power supply module is an external power source, and it is electrically connected to the electromagnetic coil group, sensing module, control module, display module and communication module respectively through wiring harnesses. The communication module is used to connect to an external mobile terminal. Both the display module and the external mobile terminal are used to display cycling data, which includes resistance value, cycling posture, rotational speed of the ring permanent magnet, and cycling distance.
[0015] Furthermore, the U-shaped integrated bracket is integrally molded from insulating material, and has 8 slots on the inner side that are adapted to the coils. The two coils in each series are tightly embedded in the corresponding slots, and the distance between the center of the coil and the surface of the annular permanent magnet is at least 2mm.
[0016] Further, the communication module is a Bluetooth module or a WiFi module, which supports wireless communication with an external mobile terminal, and realizes transmission of the riding data and reception of external control instructions.
[0017] Further, the display module is a touch display screen of the spin bike, which is integrated with a spin bike control panel, and supports real-time display of the resistance value, the riding posture, the rotating speed, the riding mileage and the working state, and supports reception of touch screen control instructions. Embodiment
[0018] Please refer to Figure 3 According to the control method of the magnetic control variable resistance system of the spin bike, the following steps are included: S1: data acquisition and preprocessing: the pressure sensor and the Hall sensor respectively detect the riding posture and the rotating speed of the annular permanent magnet in real time, and feed the posture and rotating speed information to the main control unit, and the main control unit amplifies and filters the signals through the built-in signal amplifier and filter to remove interference noise; The calculation method of the rotating speed of the annular permanent magnet is: rotating speed / min = pulse number x 60 ÷ 16; Each of the permanent magnets is counted as one pulse number when passing through the Hall sensor; Specific example: 32 pulses per second, rotating speed = 32 x 60 ÷ 16 = 120 rotating speed / min; Preferably, if the pulse number is 0 within 1 second and lasts for 3 seconds, the main control unit determines that it is stopped rotating, and triggers the resistance zero logic.
[0019] S2: dual signal fusion decision: the main control unit binds the posture signal and the rotating speed signal at the same time based on the built-in time stamp alignment mechanism, queries the preset posture threshold, rotating speed threshold and resistance mapping table to determine the target resistance, and calculates the target power based on the target resistance; The pressure sensor determines that it is a sitting posture when the detected pressure is greater than or equal to the posture threshold, and determines that it is a standing posture when the detected pressure is less than the posture threshold, the rotating speed threshold is divided into three intervals of low speed, medium speed and high speed, the rotating speed threshold and the posture threshold form a multi-dimensional resistance matching logic, and the resistance mapping table is a correspondence table of the preset posture, rotating speed and target resistance; Specific example: the posture threshold is set to 5 kg, the rotating speed threshold is divided into low speed 30-80 rotating speed / min, medium speed 80-150 rotating speed / min and high speed 150-200 rotating speed / min, the target power conversion coefficient k = 0.24, and the formula is power = k x resistance; That is: sitting posture + medium speed 100 rpm corresponds to a target resistance of 40 N, power = 0.24 × 40 = 9.6 watts; standing posture + high speed 180 rpm corresponds to a resistance of 85 N, power = 20.4 watts; sitting posture + low speed 60 rpm corresponds to a resistance of 20 N, power = 4.8 watts. The resistance mapping table pre-defines the correspondence between attitude, rotation speed and target resistance, covering the needs of different training scenarios; S3: Coil grouping control: The main control unit dynamically determines the number of coil groups to be engaged based on the target power, sets the maximum power threshold for a single coil group, and then selects the coil group to be started according to the dynamic expansion principle, and sends on / off commands to the corresponding driver chip through relays. The number of coil input groups ranges from 1 to 4 groups, and the dynamic capacity expansion follows the order from 1 to 4 groups without switching across levels. Specific example: Four groups of coils are designated G1, G2, G3, and G4. The resistance range of each group of coils is 2-25 N. The maximum power threshold of a single group of coils is set to 6 watts. When the target power is 9.6 watts, two groups (G1 and G2) are used. When the target power is 20.4 watts, all four groups of coils (G1, G2, G3, and G4) are used. S4: Current Regulation and Resistance Execution: The main control unit calculates the target current for each coil group based on the target resistance and the number of coil groups currently engaged. It then adjusts the coil current by outputting a signal through the driver chip, while simultaneously controlling the start-up of the corresponding coil group to achieve precise resistance matching. The duty cycle of pulse width modulation is calculated using the formula: Duty cycle = (Target resistance ÷ Maximum resistance of a single group) × 100%. Specific example: When two sets of coils are engaged, the target resistance is 40 N, the maximum resistance of a single set is 25 N, the duty cycle is (40 ÷ 50) × 100% = 80%, and the driver chip outputs a pulse width modulation signal with an 80% duty cycle. S5: Data Display and Command Response: The main control unit transmits cycling data such as resistance value, riding posture, speed, and riding distance to the display module and external mobile terminal in real time. The communication module receives control commands sent by the external mobile terminal, and the main control unit responds to the commands and adjusts the number of coil input groups or current parameters.
[0020] This invention utilizes the coordinated operation of pressure sensors and Hall effect sensors in the sensing module to accurately collect real-time data on the user's riding posture (sitting / standing) and the rotational speed of the ring permanent magnet. After signal processing by the main control unit, based on a dual-signal fusion decision-making mechanism and combined with preset posture, rotational speed thresholds, and a resistance mapping table, it automatically matches the target resistance and power. It can dynamically adjust the resistance output according to the user's real-time riding status, covering different fitness levels and training scenarios, significantly enhancing training relevance. It also supports two-way interaction between external mobile terminals and touchscreen displays, balancing intelligent automatic adjustment and manual intervention needs, optimizing the user experience. Furthermore, by employing a modular structure with eight coils arranged in four independent groups, instead of a traditional monolithic coil, and with the slot positioning of the U-shaped insulating integrated bracket, it can achieve independent on / off switching, symmetrical deployment, and efficient heat dissipation of the coil groups. Additionally, the main control unit... The system employs a dynamic capacity expansion principle to progressively increase the number of coil groups, avoiding prolonged high-power operation of a single coil group. This effectively reduces heat accumulation, slows coil aging, and mitigates the risk of resistance output drift. Simultaneously, the driver chip adjusts the pulse width modulation duty cycle to achieve precise current control, further ensuring resistance output accuracy and system stability, and extending the overall lifespan of the equipment. The main control unit incorporates a signal amplifier and filter to effectively remove interference noise from sensor-acquired signals. Combined with the speed conversion formula and pulse width modulation duty cycle calculation logic, it achieves accurate resistance calculation and rapid adjustment, ensuring controllable resistance error and timely response. Furthermore, the system uses a communication module to synchronously display cycling data to mobile terminals and touchscreens, supporting real-time data monitoring and remote command issuance. The system is easy to operate and offers high data visualization, meeting users' needs for tracking and managing training data. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
