[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical engineering technology, specifically to a treadmill control method and a treadmill in the field of mechanical engineering technology. Background Technology

[0002] In treadmills using this technology, the frequency of speed changes from low to high is uniformly fixed. Therefore, during training, there is no way to change the frequency to increase different explosive power training. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a treadmill control method and a treadmill, and the specific technical solution adopted is as follows: In a first aspect, embodiments of the present invention provide a treadmill control method, the method comprising: The system acquires the target speed displayed on the treadmill's electronic display and the treadmill's current speed; wherein the treadmill's operating modes include at least: normal mode and performance mode; the acceleration slope in the performance mode is greater than the acceleration slope in the current mode; If the treadmill is currently in normal mode, obtain the performance mode switching command input by the user through the treadmill's operation interface when a rapid speed change is required; In response to the performance mode switching command, the treadmill is controlled to switch from normal mode to performance mode; The current speed is adjusted to the target speed using the acceleration slope of the performance mode.

[0004] In some possible implementations, if the treadmill's current operating mode is performance mode, the normal mode switching command input by the user through the treadmill's operation interface when a low-speed change is required is obtained; In response to a user's command to switch to normal mode input on the user interface, the treadmill is controlled to return to normal mode from performance mode.

[0005] In some possible implementations, the method further includes: Obtain the speed adjustment command input by the user on the pace selection button in the operation interface; If the target speed is greater than the current speed, when the treadmill enters performance mode, it responds to each input speed adjustment command by increasing the current speed to the target speed by increasing the first speed increment value each time; when the treadmill enters normal mode, it responds to each input speed adjustment command by increasing the current speed to the target speed by increasing the second speed increment value each time.

[0006] In some possible implementations, the method further includes: Obtain the preset control cycle of the electronic watch; Calculate the corresponding target rotational speed based on the conversion ratio between the target speed and the preset speed; The current speed transmitted from the electronic watch to the micro-inverter is determined to have reached the target speed based on a preset control cycle. When it is determined that the target speed is greater than the currently issued speed, the speed information is gradually issued to the micro inverter based on the single speed increment corresponding to the current operating mode until the target speed is reached.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the single speed increment in normal mode is 5 RPM, corresponding to an acceleration slope of 0.35 (km / h) / s.

[0008] In some possible implementations, the single speed increment in performance mode is 15 RPM, corresponding to an acceleration slope of 1.05 (km / h) / s.

[0009] Secondly, a treadmill is provided, comprising: An acquisition module is used to acquire the target speed displayed on the treadmill's electronic display and the current speed of the treadmill; wherein the treadmill's operating modes include at least: normal mode and performance mode; the acceleration slope of the performance mode is greater than that of the normal mode; The input module is used to obtain the performance mode switching command input by the user through the operation interface of the treadmill when a rapid speed change is required, if the current operating mode of the treadmill is normal mode. The control module is used to control the treadmill to switch from normal mode to performance mode in response to the performance mode switching command; An adjustment module is used to adjust the current speed to the target speed using the acceleration slope of the performance mode.

[0010] Thirdly, a computer program product is provided, comprising: computer program code, which, when run on a computer, causes the computer to perform the method described in the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof.

[0011] Fourthly, a computer-readable storage medium is provided that stores computer program code, which, when executed on a computer, causes the computer to perform the methods described in the first aspect or any possible implementation thereof.

[0012] This invention offers the following advantages: After acquiring the target speed displayed on the treadmill's electronic display and the treadmill's current speed, the target speed is converted into a corresponding target rotational speed according to a preset speed conversion ratio. If the treadmill's current operating mode is normal mode, a performance mode switching command input by the user through the treadmill's operating interface when a rapid speed change is needed is acquired. Thus, when a rapid speed change is required, the user can input a performance mode switching command through the operating interface to change the current operating mode. In response to the performance mode switching command, the treadmill is controlled to enter performance mode from the current mode; and the current speed is adjusted to the target speed using the acceleration slope of the performance mode; wherein the acceleration slope of the performance mode is greater than that of the current mode. Therefore, by adding a performance mode with a higher acceleration slope to the treadmill, non-fixed acceleration training can be achieved. When a rapid speed change is needed, the user can enter a performance mode with a higher acceleration slope by inputting a performance mode switching command through the operating interface, allowing for a significant and instantaneous increase in training speed, thereby effectively improving exercise results and athletic ability.

The "and / or" in the text is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0018] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0019] This invention provides a treadmill control method. The specific solution of this treadmill control method is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the implementation flow of a treadmill control method provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The method includes: 101. Obtain the target speed displayed on the treadmill's electronic display and the current speed of the treadmill.

[0020] Here, the treadmill's operating modes include at least: Normal mode and Performance mode; the acceleration slope in Performance mode is greater than that in the current mode. The treadmill's electronic display is the main control board, and the target speed displayed on the display can be the user-set target speed. A larger acceleration slope means that within the same preset control cycle of 100 milliseconds (ms), the treadmill issues a larger increment of rotational speed (RPM) each time, and the shorter the time it takes for the running belt to reach the target speed.

[0021] 102. If the treadmill's current operating mode is normal mode, obtain the performance mode switching command input by the user through the treadmill's operation interface when a rapid speed change is required.

[0022] Here, if the treadmill is currently in normal mode, the speed changes are relatively slow. When the user needs to quickly change speed, they can input a performance mode switching command through the treadmill's control panel. For example, the user can press and hold the performance mode button on the control panel to input the performance mode switching command and switch modes.

[0023] 103. In response to the performance mode switching command, control the treadmill to switch from the current mode to the performance mode.

[0024] Here, after the user inputs the performance mode switching command through the operation interface, the treadmill's operating mode changes from normal mode to performance mode to change the acceleration slope and achieve non-fixed acceleration training.

[0025] 104. Adjust the current speed to the target speed using the acceleration slope of the performance mode.

[0026] Here, after the treadmill enters performance mode, it gradually adjusts the current speed to the target speed according to the acceleration slope of the performance mode.

[0027] In some possible implementations, step 104 above can be achieved through... Figure 2 The steps shown are to be implemented as follows: 201, Obtain the preset control cycle of the electronic watch.

[0028] Here, the preset control cycle of the electronic watch is the execution cycle of the electronic watch control program. For example, in a treadmill, the electronic watch makes a judgment on speed adjustment every 100 ms, then the preset control cycle is 100 ms.

[0029] 202. Calculate the corresponding target rotational speed based on the conversion ratio between the target speed and the preset speed.

[0030] Here, the preset speed conversion ratio is the conversion factor between the speed unit (km / h) on the electronic display interface and the rotational speed unit (RPM) received by the micro-inverter at its underlying layer. For example, the preset speed conversion ratio is 140.

[0031] In a specific example, if the target speed is 20 km / h and the preset speed conversion ratio is 140, then the corresponding target rotational speed is 20 * 140 = 2800.

[0032] 203. Determine whether the current speed transmitted from the electronic watch to the micro-inverter has reached the target speed based on a preset control cycle.

[0033] Here, the electronic speed controller (i.e., the main control board) currently sends the speed command value (RPM) to the inverter within the current preset control cycle (100ms). The currently issued speed is a dynamically changing, gradually increasing value. The relationship between the currently issued speed and the target speed is periodically checked according to the preset control cycle, for example, every 100ms, to determine whether the currently issued speed has reached the target speed.

[0034] 204. When the target speed is greater than the currently issued speed, the speed information is gradually issued to the micro-inverter based on the single speed increment corresponding to the current operating mode until the target speed is reached.

[0035] Here, the formula for calculating the target speed is: Target Speed ​​= Target Speed ​​× Speed ​​Conversion Ratio. If the target speed is determined to be greater than the currently issued speed, then the speed information is gradually sent to the micro-inverter using the single speed increment corresponding to the current operating mode until the target speed is reached. During the process of gradually sending speed information to the micro-inverter, if the target speed is determined to be less than or equal to the currently issued speed, then the increase in speed information stops or the speed information is gradually decreased according to the preset deceleration slope.

[0036] In some possible implementations, the single speed increment in normal mode is 5 RPM, corresponding to an acceleration slope of 0.35 (km / h) / s. In performance mode, the single speed increment is 15 RPM, corresponding to an acceleration slope of 1.05 (km / h) / s. When the electronic display determines that acceleration is needed, every 0.1 seconds (i.e., 100ms), 5 RPM is added to the previously sent speed information value before the new value is sent to the micro-inverter.

[0037] If the current operating mode is normal mode, the preset control cycle is 100ms. When the rise slope is double that of normal mode, if the target speed displayed on the electronic watch is greater than the current speed, it will gradually increase by 5 for each speed increment (i.e., the speed increment is 5 per time). It takes (2800 / 5) = 560 accelerations to go from 0 to 20km / h. Since it increases once every 100ms, it takes 56 seconds to reach the target speed.

[0038] If users need to accelerate quickly, they can switch to performance mode on the user interface. The preset control cycle is 100ms, and the acceleration slope in performance mode is three times the normal slope. When the target speed displayed on the electronic display exceeds the current speed, it gradually increases by 15 units per RPM increment (i.e., a single RPM increment of 15). Accelerating from 0 to 20km / h requires approximately 187 accelerations. Because this increase occurs every 100ms, it takes 18.7 seconds to reach the target speed. In this way, users can quickly change the acceleration mode with a single click on the user interface, achieving a significant and instantaneous increase in training speed for a rapid improvement in muscle strength.

[0039] In some embodiments, if the treadmill's current operating mode is performance mode, a normal mode switching command input by the user through the treadmill's operation interface when a low-speed change is needed is received; in response to the user's normal mode switching command input through the operation interface, the treadmill is controlled to restore the normal mode from performance mode. Thus, when the user needs a slow speed change, they can enter a slow-speed normal mode with a single click using the normal mode switching button on the operation interface, thereby using the normal mode to increase the speed gradient and adjust the current speed to the target speed.

[0040] In some embodiments, the treadmill's control interface includes at least one pace selection button, allowing users to adjust the speed by clicking or touching it. For example, pace shortcut buttons may be located on either side of the treadmill's display screen, allowing users to select the corresponding mode and pace by clicking or touching them.

[0041] In some possible implementations, the user inputs a speed adjustment command in the pace selection area on the user interface. If the target speed is greater than the current speed, when the treadmill enters performance mode, in response to each input speed adjustment command, the treadmill is controlled to increase the current speed to the target speed by a first speed increase value each time. The first speed increase value can be a speed value (e.g., 0.5 km / h) or a speed increase percentage (e.g., 50%). When the treadmill enters normal mode, in response to each input speed adjustment command, the treadmill is controlled to increase the current speed to the target speed by a second speed increase value each time. The second speed increase value can be a speed value (e.g., 0.1 km / h) or a speed increase percentage (e.g., 10%). Thus, in performance mode, by clicking or touching the pace selection button, the user can increase the current speed by 0.5 km / h each time the button is triggered until the target speed is reached, thereby quickly achieving the target speed. In normal mode, users can increase the current speed by 0.1 km / h each time they click or touch the speed selection button, until they reach the target speed. This allows users to choose the appropriate operating mode to meet their speed requirements.

[0042] This invention provides a treadmill, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the treadmill 300 includes: The acquisition module 301 is used to acquire the target speed displayed on the electronic display of the treadmill and the current speed of the treadmill; wherein the operating mode of the treadmill includes at least: normal mode and performance mode; the speed increase slope of the performance mode is greater than the speed increase slope of the current mode; Input module 302 is used to obtain the performance mode switching command input by the user through the operation interface of the treadmill when a rapid speed change is required, if the current operating mode of the treadmill is normal mode. Control module 303 is used to control the treadmill to switch from normal mode to performance mode in response to the performance mode switching command; The adjustment module 304 is used to adjust the current speed to the target speed using the acceleration slope of the performance mode.

[0043] In some possible implementations, the adjustment module 304 is further configured to, if the current operating mode of the treadmill is performance mode, acquire a normal mode switching command input by the user through the treadmill's operation interface when a low-speed change is required; and, in response to the normal mode switching command input by the user on the operation interface, control the treadmill to restore the normal mode from performance mode.

[0044] In some possible implementations, the adjustment module 304 is further configured to acquire a speed adjustment command input by the user at the pace selection button on the operation interface; if the target speed is greater than the current speed, when the treadmill enters performance mode, it controls the treadmill to increase the current speed to the target speed by increasing the first speed increase value each time in response to each input speed adjustment command; when the treadmill enters normal mode, it controls the treadmill to increase the current speed to the target speed by increasing the second speed increase value each time in response to each input speed adjustment command.

[0045] In some possible implementations, the adjustment module 304 is further configured to obtain the preset control cycle of the electronic watch; calculate the corresponding target speed according to the target speed and the preset speed conversion ratio; determine whether the current speed sent by the electronic watch to the micro-inverter has reached the target speed based on the preset control cycle; when the target speed is greater than the current speed sent, gradually send speed information to the micro-inverter based on the single speed increment corresponding to the current operating mode until the target speed is reached.

[0046] In some possible implementations, the single speed increment in range mode is 5 RPM, corresponding to an acceleration slope of 0.35 (km / h) / s. In performance mode, the single speed increment is 15 RPM, corresponding to an acceleration slope of 1.05 (km / h) / s.
