Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment, and in particular to an electronic resistance training device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, resistance bands are widely popular among fitness enthusiasts as a form of exercise equipment. However, most traditional resistance bands use steel wire springs, steel wire ropes, and rubber bands as the force source. During use, springs or rubber bands are prone to being loosely installed or breaking, which can cause injury. During the spring's contraction and return process, they can also easily pinch the skin and hair. Furthermore, most resistance bands are not convenient to carry, and the tension cannot be easily and conveniently adjusted according to the user's needs.

[0003] Based on this, Chinese invention patent publication number "CN116265045A" describes a lightweight portable electronic resistance band, including a housing, a motor unit, a reducer unit, and a take-up reel. The motor unit, reducer unit, and take-up reel are sequentially arranged within the housing. The reducer unit includes a driven gear, which is coaxially and fixedly connected to the take-up reel. The motor unit provides a torque in the opposite direction to the external pulling force on the take-up reel, the reducer unit amplifies the torque provided by the motor unit, and the take-up reel outputs the amplified torque. The lightweight portable electronic resistance band provided by this invention uses a motor unit as the force source, avoiding the safety issues associated with traditional methods using elastic materials as the force source. Furthermore, the use of a reducer unit to amplify the torque allows for a larger pulling force with a smaller motor unit. This makes the entire electronic resistance band convenient to use and portable, suitable for use anytime and anywhere in various situations.

[0004] However, the above solution uses a traditional gear transmission structure, which has insufficient transmission stability, weak impact resistance and load capacity, and is prone to damage when the tensioner is used under high intensity. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide an electronic tensile training device that is structurally stable, impact-resistant, and has a strong load-bearing capacity, and is not easily damaged during high-intensity use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An electronic resistance training device includes a housing, a drive motor and a take-up reel disposed inside the housing; the housing has an opening for pulling out a resistance band, and the take-up reel is used to wind up the resistance band; characterized in that: the output end of the drive motor drives the take-up reel to rotate via a planetary gear assembly; the planetary gear assembly includes a central gear, a ring gear, a planetary carrier, and multiple planetary gears rotatably positioned on the planetary carrier, the central gear is disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor, the ring gear is fixedly disposed on a support frame inside the housing; the planetary gears are located between the central gear and the ring gear and mesh with both, and the take-up reel is fixedly connected to the planetary carrier.

[0008] This utility model adopts the above-mentioned technical solution, which relates to an electronic resistance training device. The reel in this device is used to wind up the resistance band. During exercise, the user pulls out the resistance band using their arm strength, and then a drive motor drives the reel to wind up the band. This reciprocating motion achieves the desired exercise effect.

[0009] Based on this, the drive motor and take-up reel in this solution use a planetary gear assembly for transmission. The central gear of the planetary gear assembly is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor, the ring gear is fixed inside the housing, and the planetary gears mesh between the central gear and the ring gear, driving the planetary carrier to rotate. Since the take-up reel is fixed to the planetary carrier, it rotates along with the carrier, thus achieving control over the take-up and unwinding of the tension belt. In comparison, this solution using a planetary gear assembly has the following advantages:

[0010] I. It has a compact structure, small size, and light weight.

[0011] Second, it has high transmission efficiency, and the power splitting makes the load on each gear smaller.

[0012] Third, it has a large transmission ratio and a wide range of options.

[0013] Fourth, it moves smoothly and has strong resistance to impact and vibration.

[0014] Thus, the above solution provides an electronic tensile training device with stable structure, strong impact resistance and load capacity, which is not easily damaged during high-intensity use.

[0015] In a specific implementation, the support frame includes a central seat and multiple connecting arms disposed on the side wall of the central seat and extending outward; the outer ends of the connecting arms are fixedly connected to the inside of the housing. In this embodiment, multiple connecting arms are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, and the central seat can be used to install the aforementioned drive motor and planetary gear assembly, etc.

[0016] In a further embodiment, a central hole is constructed on the central seat, and the drive motor and planetary gear assembly are respectively located on both sides of the central seat, with the output shaft of the drive motor passing through the central hole of the central seat.

[0017] In the specific design, a support ring is fixed inside the housing and is fixed to a support frame. The gear ring is fixed to or integrally formed on the support ring. The planetary carrier is rotatably positioned inside the support ring. The upper part of the planetary carrier extends out of the annular opening and is fixed to the take-up reel, or a portion of the take-up reel extends into the annular opening and is fixed to the planetary carrier. In this design, the gear ring is fixed inside the housing by being fixed to or integrally formed on the support ring. Thus, since the planetary carrier is rotatably positioned inside the support ring, to avoid interference, at least a portion of the take-up reel or the planetary carrier needs to pass through the annular opening for fixation.

[0018] In a further embodiment, a first frustum protrudes upward from the end face of the planetary carrier, with the frustum extending out of the annular opening and fixedly connected to the take-up reel. Furthermore, the first frustum is rotatably positioned within the support ring via a bearing. This achieves rotational positioning of the planetary carrier while simultaneously reducing resistance during its rotation.

[0019] Preferably, a groove is formed on one end face of the center seat, and the support ring is fixed to the center seat of the support frame, forming a transmission chamber between the support ring and the center seat. The gear ring on the support ring is inserted into the groove, and the central gear, planetary gears, and the planet carrier portion for positioning the planetary gears are all located within the transmission chamber. In this design, the planetary gear assembly is placed inside the transmission chamber between the support ring and the center seat, which allows for concealment and storage of the planetary gear assembly, making its operation more stable.

[0020] Preferably, the drive motor is an external rotor motor, comprising a stator fixed inside the housing and a rotor housing outside the stator; an output shaft is located at the center of the rotor housing. In this embodiment, an external rotor motor is used as the drive motor; in the actual embodiment, the stator uses coil windings, and the rotor uses magnetic coils. During operation, the rotor and its housing rotate relative to the stator, thereby driving the reel to retract the resistance band. When the user pulls out of the resistance band, the rotor housing and the rotor rotate in opposite directions relative to the stator, acting as a magnetic reluctance device.

[0021] Preferably, a second frustum is constructed on the other end face of the central seat, and the motor stator is fixed on the second frustum.

[0022] Preferably, a shock-absorbing pad is provided at the connection between the outer end of the connecting arm and the inside of the housing, which can reduce the overall vibration of the tensioner.

[0023] Preferably, an outlet take-up mechanism is provided inside the housing between the take-up reel and the opening. The outlet take-up mechanism includes at least one pair of rotating rollers, and the tension belt remains in contact with these rollers as it reciprocates through the tension belt outlet. By providing an outlet take-up mechanism at the tension belt outlet, frequent sliding friction between the tension belt and the housing is prevented during its reciprocating passage through the outlet, effectively reducing frictional damage to the tension belt and extending its service life.

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

[0036] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment relates to an electronic resistance training device, including a housing 1, and a drive motor and a take-up reel 2 disposed inside the housing 1. The housing 1 has an opening 11 for pulling the resistance band, and the take-up reel 2 is used to wind up the resistance band. The output end of the drive motor drives the take-up reel 2 to rotate via a planetary gear assembly 3. The planetary gear assembly 3 includes a central gear 31, a ring gear 32, a planetary carrier 33, and multiple planetary gears 34 rotatably positioned on the planetary carrier 33. The central gear 31 is disposed on the output shaft 35 of the drive motor, and the ring gear 32 is fixedly disposed on a support frame 4 inside the housing 1. The planetary gears 34 are located between the central gear 31 and the ring gear 32 and mesh with both, and the take-up reel 2 is fixedly connected to the planetary carrier 33.

[0037] The take-up reel 2 in this electronic resistance trainer is used to wind up the resistance band. During exercise, the user pulls out the resistance band using their arm strength, and then the drive motor drives the take-up reel 2 to wind up the band, repeating this process to achieve the desired exercise effect. Based on this, the drive motor and the take-up reel 2 in this design use a planetary gear assembly 3 for transmission. The central gear 31 of the planetary gear assembly 3 is mounted on the output shaft 35 of the drive motor, the gear ring 32 is fixedly mounted inside the housing 1, and the planetary gear 34 meshes between the central gear 31 and the gear ring 32, driving the planetary carrier 33 to rotate. Since the take-up reel 2 is fixed to the planetary carrier 33, it rotates along with the planetary carrier 33, achieving control over the winding and unwinding of the resistance band. Thus, the above design provides an electronic resistance trainer with a stable structure, high impact resistance, and strong load capacity, and is not easily damaged under high-intensity use.

[0038] like Figure 2-6 As shown, the support frame 4 includes a central base 41 and multiple connecting arms 42 disposed on the side wall of the central base 41 and extending outward. The outer ends of the connecting arms 42 are fixed to the inside of the housing 1, and the two are connected. In this embodiment, multiple connecting arms 42 are fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the central base 41 can be used to install the aforementioned drive motor and planetary gear assembly 3, etc. In a further embodiment, a central hole 40 is constructed on the central base 41, the drive motor and planetary gear assembly 3 are respectively located on both sides of the central base 41, and the output shaft 35 of the drive motor passes through the central hole 40 of the central base 41. Furthermore, a shock-absorbing pad 44 is provided at the connection between the outer end of the connecting arm 42 and the inside of the housing 1, which can reduce the overall vibration of the tensioner.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, a support ring 5 is fixed inside the housing 1, and the support ring 5 is fixed to the support frame 4. The gear ring 32 is fixed to the support ring 5 or integrally formed on the support ring 5. The planetary carrier 33 is rotatably positioned inside the support ring 5. The upper part of the planetary carrier 33 extends out of the annular opening 51 and is fixed to the take-up reel 2, or a portion of the take-up reel 2 extends into the annular opening 51 and is fixed to the planetary carrier 33. In this embodiment, the gear ring 32 is fixed inside the housing 1 by fixing it to the support ring 5 or integrally forming it on the support ring 5. Thus, since the planetary carrier 33 is rotatably positioned inside the support ring 5, to avoid interference, at least a portion of the take-up reel 2 or the planetary carrier 33 needs to pass through the annular opening 51 for fixed connection. In a further embodiment, a first frustum 36 is provided with an upwardly protruding end face of the planetary carrier 33. A portion of the first frustum 36 extends out of the annular opening 51 and is fixed to the take-up reel 2. Furthermore, the first frustum 36 is rotatably positioned inside the support ring 5 by a bearing 37. This allows for the rotational positioning of the planet carrier 33 while also reducing the resistance during its rotation.

[0040] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, a groove 45 is constructed on one end face of the center seat 41. The support ring 5 is fixed to the groove 45 of the center seat 41 of the support frame 4, forming a transmission chamber between the support ring 5 and the center seat 41. The gear ring 32 on the support ring 5 is inserted into the groove 45. The central gear 31, planetary gear 34, and part of the planet carrier 33 that positions the planetary gear 34 are all located inside the transmission chamber. In this design, the planetary gear assembly 3 is placed inside the transmission chamber between the support ring 5 and the center seat 41, which allows for the concealment and storage of the planetary gear assembly 3, making the operation of the planetary gear assembly 3 more stable.

[0041] like Figure 3 and 7 As shown, the drive motor is an external rotor motor, comprising a stator 62 fixed inside the housing 1 and a rotor housing 61 located outside the stator 62. An output shaft 35 is centrally located on the rotor housing 61. In this design, an external rotor motor is used as the drive motor; in the actual design, the stator 62 uses coil windings, and the rotor uses magnetic coils. During operation, the rotor and its housing 61 rotate relative to the stator 62, thereby driving the reel 2 to retract the resistance band. When the user pulls out of the resistance band, the rotor housing 61 and the rotor rotate in opposite directions relative to the stator 62, acting as a reluctance device. A second frustum 46 is constructed on the other end face of the center seat 41, and the stator 62 is fixed on the second frustum 46.

[0042] Furthermore, an outlet take-up mechanism 7 is provided inside the housing 1 between the take-up reel 2 and the opening 11. The outlet take-up mechanism 7 includes at least one pair of rotating rollers, and the tension belt remains in contact with the rotating rollers as it reciprocates through the tension belt outlet. Providing the outlet take-up mechanism 7 at the tension belt outlet prevents frequent sliding friction between the tension belt and the housing 1 during its reciprocating passage through the outlet, effectively reducing frictional damage to the tension belt and extending its service life.
