[0030] At present, indoor sports have become another way for people to pursue health in their spare time from work and life. As a result, a large number of indoor sports fitness equipment have emerged, such as indoor exercise bikes, treadmills, and stair climbers, etc. The emergence and rise of these indoor sports fitness equipment have given people more choices for indoor sports and increased the types of sports that can be carried out indoors.

[0031] When people use indoor sports fitness equipment for exercise, a large amount of kinetic energy will be generated. For example, when using an indoor exercise bike for exercise, the pedaling action of the user will cause the sprocket of the indoor exercise bike to rotate, that is, the user's action will impart kinetic energy to the sprocket, causing the sprocket to rotate. To make full use of the kinetic energy on the sprocket, the present utility model proposes a motion energy storage device that can convert the kinetic energy generated by people during exercise into electrical energy and store it to make full use of the energy.

[0032] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , specifically, the motion energy storage device proposed by the present utility model includes a generator set 1 and a battery 2. The generator set 1 is used to convert the kinetic energy generated by people into electrical energy, and the battery 2 is used to store the electrical energy generated by the generator 11. Among them, the motion energy storage device further includes an electronic control system 3 and a power-consuming component 4. The generator set 1 is electrically connected to the electronic control system 3, the electronic control system 3 is electrically connected to the battery 2, and the power-consuming component 4 is electrically connected to the electronic control system 3. The power-consuming component 4 is used to consume the electrical energy generated by the generator set 1 when the battery 2 is full.

[0033] Still taking the indoor exercise bike as an example, the indoor exercise bike has a sprocket 110 that imitates a bicycle. The sprocket 110 will rotate due to the pedaling action of the user. The generator set 1 is connected to the sprocket 110. Thus, when the sprocket 110 rotates, the generator set 1 will also rotate accordingly to generate an electric current. That is, the setting of the generator set 1 will convert the kinetic energy generated by the user during exercise into electrical energy, and the battery 2 is used to store the electrical energy generated by the user driving the generator set 1 during exercise. Considering that the generator set 1 rotates with the rotation of the sprocket 110, that is, the angular velocity of the sprocket 110 during the user's exercise process is not constant, so the electric current generated by the generator set 1 is also unstable. The unstable electric current causes greater damage to the battery 2. To ensure the stability and durability of the battery 2, the electronic control system 3 will rectify the electric current generated by the generator set 1 to ensure the stability of the current and voltage, thereby reducing the probability of damage to the battery 2.

[0034] In addition, considering that if the battery 2 is still charged after being fully charged, it may cause damage to the battery 2. Therefore, the electric control system 3 is also electrically connected to a power-consuming component 4. When the battery 2 is fully charged, if the generator set 1 is still generating current, the electric control system 3 will conduct the current generated by the generator set 1 to the power-consuming component 4. The power-consuming component 4 has a very large resistance, and the current will be consumed after passing through the power-consuming component 4, that is, the power-consuming component 4 will consume the current generated by the generator set 1, thus ensuring the integrity of the battery 2.

[0035] Refer to Figure 4 , specifically, the electric control system 3 includes a first current detection element and a first voltage detection element. The first current detection element and the first voltage detection element are used to detect the current and voltage values generated by the generator set 1, so as to facilitate the electric control system 3 to rectify the current generated by the generator set 1 to ensure the stability and durability of the battery 2. In addition, when the rotational speed of the generator set 1 is too low, that is, the values detected by the first current detection element and the first voltage detection element are too low and not conducive to charging the battery 2, this current can be directly led to the power-consuming component 4 and consumed. The electric control system 3 also includes a second current detection element and a second voltage detection element. The second current detection element and the second voltage detection element are used to detect the current and voltage values of the battery 2 to supply the electric control system 3 to control the charging state of the battery 2 and the flow direction of the current.

[0036] It should be noted that the above is illustrated by taking an indoor exercise bike as an example. In other fitness equipment, the above structure or method can also be used for transformation. For example, when using weightlifting equipment, the movement of the weight component in the weightlifting equipment can be used to drive the generator set 1 to rotate, thereby generating current. Without violating the above design concept, there are still many indoor fitness devices that can use the above structure to generate electricity, and the present utility model will not elaborate herein.

[0037] Refer to Figures 1 to 3, specifically, in the present utility model, the power generation set 1 includes a generator 11 and a relay wheel 12. The relay wheel 12 includes a relay outer wheel 121 and a relay inner wheel 122, and the relay outer wheel 121 and the relay inner wheel 122 are coaxially arranged. Still taking an indoor exercise bike as an example, when the user pedals and causes the sprocket 110 to rotate, the sprocket 110 will drive the relay outer wheel 121 to rotate, that is, the relay outer wheel 121 rotates with the movement of the person. Since the relay outer wheel 121 and the relay inner wheel 122 are coaxially arranged, when the relay outer wheel 121 rotates, the relay inner wheel 122 also rotates accordingly, and the relay inner wheel 122 will drive the power generation set 1 to rotate, thus completing power generation. In the present utility model, the diameter of the relay outer wheel 121 is smaller than that of the relay inner wheel 122, and the relay inner wheel 122 and the relay outer wheel 121 are coaxially arranged. Therefore, the relay inner wheel 122 and the relay outer wheel 121 have the same angular velocity, but the linear velocity of the relay inner wheel 122 will be greater than that of the relay outer wheel 121. Compared with the case where the diameter of the relay outer wheel 121 is equal to or greater than that of the relay inner wheel 122, when the sprocket 110 rotates one circle, it will drive the generator 11 to generate more electric energy, that is, the energy conversion efficiency of the generator 11 is improved.

[0038] In addition, since the diameter of the relay outer wheel 121 is smaller than that of the relay inner wheel 122, a greater resistance will be generated during the rotation of the sprocket 110, that is, the exercise bike itself will have a greater pedaling resistance, which can improve the exercise effect of the user.

[0039] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , still taking an exercise bike as an example, in the present utility model, the motion energy storage device further includes a bracket 100. The bracket 100 includes a bottom plate 120, a first support rod 130, a second support rod 140, and a third support rod 150. The first support rod 130, the second support rod 140, and the third support rod 150 are sequentially arranged at intervals on the bottom plate 120. A first installation space 160 is formed between the first support rod 130 and the second support rod 140, and the electric control system 3 is arranged in the first installation space 160. A second installation space 170 is formed between the second support rod 140 and the third support rod 150, and the power generation set 1 is arranged in the second installation space 170; and a support plate 180 is arranged between the second support rod 140 and the third support rod 150, and the support plate 180 is used to carry the power generation set 1.

[0040] Refer to Figures 1 to 3 , in the above structure, the bottom plate 120 is used to provide support for the overall structure. The first support rod 130, the second support rod 140, and the third support rod 150 are actually used to provide support for the human body. The settings of the first installation space 160 and the second installation space 170 rationally utilize the overall space of the bracket 100, reduce the floor space occupied by the entire motion energy storage device, and ensure the miniaturization of the entire motion energy storage device in the present utility model.

[0041] Specifically, the power-consuming component 4 is disposed on the second support rod 140. The power-consuming component 4 includes a housing and a power-consuming resistor. The housing is fixedly disposed on the second support rod 140, and the power-consuming resistor is disposed inside the housing. The resistance of the power-consuming resistor is extremely large, and the excess electric energy generated by the generator set 1 can be converted into heat energy and consumed.

[0042] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
