[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment technology, specifically an electric adjustable resistance exercise bike. Background Technology

[0002] As a type of exercise equipment, exercise bikes are commonly used in small to medium-sized outdoor sports activities involving multiple people. When using an exercise bike, it's often necessary to adjust the resistance of the flywheel to meet the different fitness needs of users. Currently, resistance adjustment is mainly achieved through a manual adjustment mechanism.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, the manual adjustment mechanism mainly consists of a magnet 904, a brake magnetic base assembly 17, a common spring 18, and felt 19, with the magnet 904 and felt 19 integrated into a single component. During use, situations may arise where resistance adjustment is insignificant or excessive; interference may also occur between the brake and the magnetic control components of the manual adjustment mechanism. Existing manual adjustment mechanisms suffer from difficulties in resistance adjustment and low accuracy, making them inconvenient for users.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design an electric adjustable resistance exercise bike to avoid interference between the brake and magnetic control functions when manually adjusting the resistance, thereby improving the accuracy and controllability of resistance adjustment and enhancing the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an electric adjustable resistance exercise bike, which avoids mutual interference between the brake and magnetic control functions during manual adjustment, improves the accuracy and controllability of resistance adjustment, and enhances the user experience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model designs an electric adjustable resistance exercise bike, including a main frame welded together, inclined support legs, a pedal transmission structure, a flywheel, a brake frame, a spring, a fixing plate, a handle, an electric magnetic resistance structure, and a drive device. The main frame welded together has two inclined support legs at its bottom. A pedal transmission structure is installed below the first inclined support leg.

The other end of the magnet frame is connected to the movable end of the drive device by the second steel wire.

[0007] The foot pedal transmission structure includes a pulley, a foot pedal, and a belt. The pulley is rotatably mounted in the middle of the inclined support foot. Foot pedals are provided on the left and right sides of the pulley. The pulley and the flywheel are connected by a belt.

[0008] The main frame welding has two branch pipes above it. The two branch pipes are respectively equipped with armrest adjustment welding and seat adjustment pipe.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] like Figure 2 As shown, this utility model is an electric adjustable resistance exercise bike, including a main frame welded together, inclined support feet, a foot pedal transmission structure, a flywheel, a brake frame, a spring, a fixing plate, a handle, an electric magnetic resistance structure, and a drive device. The bottom of the main frame welded together 1 is equipped with inclined support feet 103 and 104 to ensure the stability of the exercise bike. A foot pedal transmission structure 2 is installed below the inclined support feet 103, and a flywheel 3 connected to the foot pedal transmission structure 2 is installed behind the inclined support feet 104. A brake frame 4 and an electric magnetic resistance structure 9 are located between the flywheel 3 and the inclined support feet 104. By adjusting the resistance of the flywheel 3, the exercise bike can be adjusted to a suitable mode. Brake pads 41 are adhered to the side of the brake frame 4 facing the flywheel 3. The larger the contact area between the brake pads 41 and the flywheel 3, the greater the friction, thereby achieving braking. The end of the brake bracket 4 and the end of the fixing plate 6 are respectively connected to the inclined support foot 104. A spring 5 is provided between the other end of the brake bracket 4 and the fixing plate 6. One end of the steel wire 7 is connected to the handle 8. The other end of the steel wire 7 passes through the fixing plate 6 and the spring 5 and is connected to the other end of the brake bracket 4.

[0019] like Figure 3As shown, the electromagnetic reluctance structure 9 includes a magnet frame 901, a second steel wire 902, a second spring 903, a magnet 904, and a hanging plate 905. The magnet 904 is attached to the side of the magnet frame 901 facing the flywheel 3. The hanging plate 905 is welded to the main frame welding 1. The end extension structure of the magnet frame 901 is connected to the hanging plate 905 by the second spring 903. The end of the magnet frame 901 is connected to the second inclined support foot 104. The other end of the magnet frame 901 is connected to the movable end of the drive device 10 by the second steel wire 902.

[0020] Preferably, the drive device 10 is a motor, which is mounted on the main frame welding 1 via a fixing plate 2 13.

[0021] The main frame weld 1 has two branch pipes above it. The two branch pipes are respectively equipped with armrest adjustment weld 101 and seat adjustment pipe 102. The armrest adjustment weld 101 is equipped with a handle 8 and an L-shaped bracket 11. The L-shaped bracket 11 is equipped with a touch screen display. The seat adjustment pipe 102 is equipped with a seat 12. The front and rear branch structure of the main frame weld 1 provides overall stability and load-bearing capacity.

[0022] The foot pedal transmission structure 2 includes a pulley 201, a foot pedal 202, and a belt 203. The pulley 201 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the inclined support foot 103. Foot pedals 202 are provided on the left and right sides of the pulley 201. The pulley 201 is connected to the flywheel 3 by the belt 203. The user drives the foot pedal 202 to rotate by stepping on the foot pedal, thereby driving the flywheel 3 to rotate through the pulley 201 and the belt 203.

[0023] like Figure 4 The inclined support leg 104 shown is fixed to the brake bracket 4 with screws 15 and nuts 16. The brake bracket 4 is located between the two sides of the inclined support leg 104. After the screws 15 pass through the inclined support leg 104 and the brake bracket 4, they are tightened with nuts 16. A copper sleeve 14 is provided between the screws 15 and the mounting holes of the inclined support leg 104.

[0024] The second inclined support leg 104 is fixed to the magnet frame 901 using screws 15 and nuts 16. The magnet frame 901 is located between the two sides of the second inclined support leg 104. After the screws 15 pass through the second inclined support leg 104 and the magnet frame 901, they are tightened with nuts 16. A copper sleeve 14 is provided between the screws 15 and the mounting holes of the second inclined support leg 104. The installation method of the magnet frame 901 is the same as that of the brake frame 4. Figure 4 This can also be viewed as the way the magnet holder 901 is installed, therefore the installation structure of the magnet holder 901 is not shown separately in the attached drawings.

[0025] The mounting structure of the brake bracket 4 and the magnet bracket 901 allows the brake bracket 4 and the magnet bracket 901 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around the fixed point, thereby adjusting the distance between the brake bracket 4 and the flywheel 3 or the magnet bracket 901 and the flywheel 3, and realizing braking, resistance adjustment or reset.

[0026] During use, the user can pull the handle 8, which pulls the brake bracket 4 via the steel wire 7, causing the brake bracket 4 to rotate counterclockwise around a fixed position. This causes the brake pad 41 to contact the flywheel 3, generating frictional resistance and stopping the flywheel 3. After the flywheel stops, releasing the handle 8 causes the brake bracket 4 to return to its original position under the elastic force of the spring 5, separating the brake pad 41 from the flywheel 3.

[0027] Braking can also be achieved by controlling the drive unit 10 via a touch screen. Upon receiving a command, the movable end of the drive unit 10 extends, the force exerted on the magnet frame 901 by the second steel wire 902 disappears, and under the action of the second spring 903, the magnet frame 901 rotates counterclockwise around its fixed position. The distance between the magnet 904 of the magnet frame 901 and the flywheel 3 gradually decreases, and the resistance increases accordingly until the flywheel 3 stops moving. After the flywheel 3 stops, the movable end of the drive unit 10 returns to its original position, stretching the second steel wire 902, and the magnet frame 901 rotates clockwise around its fixed position, separating the magnet 904 from the flywheel 3.

[0028] Users can control the drive device 10 via the touchscreen display to adjust resistance. Upon receiving a command, the movable end of the drive device 10 retracts or extends, causing the magnet frame 901 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around a fixed position under the action of the steel wire 902 and the spring 903. This adjusts the distance between the magnet frame 901 and the flywheel 3, achieving different resistance levels. When the user finishes exercising, the movable end of the drive device 10 returns to its original position, the force applied to the steel wire 902 disappears, and the magnet frame 901 rotates counterclockwise around its fixed position to return to its original position under the action of the spring 903.

[0029] The brake bracket 4 and magnet bracket 901 are installed independently to avoid interference between the mechanical brake and the magnetic control system, thus improving the adjustment accuracy. Users can manually or electrically adjust the resistance to meet the needs of different exercise intensities. At the same time, the equipment has a stable structure and is easy to operate, making it suitable for rehabilitation training or daily fitness.

[0030] This invention adds independent magnet brackets and brake brackets to the flywheel, which are used for magnetic control adjustment and braking functions, as well as manual braking functions, respectively. This makes the resistance adjustment and braking functions independent of each other, improving the stability and safety of the exercise bike. The electric adjustment not only enables precise control of the exercise bike's resistance, but also improves the efficiency and convenience of resistance adjustment.
