Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a training device, and more particularly to a training device that allows the operator to freely choose whether to perform resistance training or running training. Background Technology

[0002] To meet consumers' dual needs for anaerobic and aerobic exercise, a treadmill was provided by Taiwan Patent Publication No. TWM590982.

[0003] The aforementioned patent describes a treadmill comprising a running belt assembly, two handrail assemblies, and a resistance band. The resistance band includes a resistance component, an adjustment component, and a traction component. The resistance component comprises a first disc, a wheel, a belt, a counterweight, and a friction element. The wheel rotates synchronously with the first disc. The belt wraps around the wheel, with one end connected to the counterweight and the other end connected to the traction component. The adjustment component controls the force exerted by the friction element against the first disc. Therefore, the aforementioned patent allows ordinary consumers to purchase a single device for both aerobic and anaerobic exercise, freeing up living space and saving money. Furthermore, the resistance of the resistance band comes from the counterweight and friction element, significantly reducing the cost and size of fitness equipment, making weight training equipment affordable for ordinary consumers.

[0004] However, the resistance band in the aforementioned patent case is located at the front end of the track assembly and between the two handrail assemblies, which means that consumers can operate the resistance band without squatting or standing up during exercise. This also means that consumers can only train their upper limbs while operating the resistance band, and cannot train their lower limbs at all, which is a pity. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tension and running training device.

[0006] This utility model provides a tension and running training device, comprising: a frame; a power unit disposed on the frame, the power unit having a power shaft extending beyond both sides of the power unit; a first clutch unit engaged with one end of the power shaft; a second clutch unit engaged with the other end of the power shaft; and a running mechanism disposed on the frame, the running mechanism comprising a drive pulley, a belt, and a running belt, the drive pulley being engaged with the side of the first clutch unit away from the power shaft, the belt connecting to the drive pulley, and the running belt connecting to the belt. The device includes: a belt, in which the power unit selectively drives the treadmill belt via the first clutch unit, the drive pulley, and the belt; a tension mechanism disposed on the frame, the tension mechanism including a pull rope reel and a pull rope, the pull rope reel being coupled to the side of the second clutch unit away from the power shaft, the pull rope being wound around the pull rope reel, and the pull rope passing through the frame on the side of the treadmill belt and connected to a grip; the power unit selectively providing resistance to the pull rope via the second clutch unit and the pull rope reel; and a control unit signal-connected to the power unit.

[0007] Furthermore, the running mechanism includes a driven pulley, a drive shaft, and a driven shaft. The belt connects to the driven pulley, the driven pulley connects to the drive shaft, one end of the running belt is wrapped around the drive shaft, the other end of the running belt is wrapped around the driven shaft, and the running belt is connected to the driven pulley via the drive shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, a locking mechanism is provided on the frame, the locking mechanism including a locking wheel and a bolt, the locking wheel being coupled to the drive shaft, the locking wheel having a plurality of locking holes, the bolt being selectively inserted into one of the locking holes, so that the drive shaft is locked by the bolt and does not rotate.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a locking power unit that is signal-connected to the control unit and to the bolt, which is selectively inserted into one of the locking holes by being driven by the locking power unit.

[0010] Furthermore, the power unit and / or the locking power unit is a brushless DC motor.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two power units, each of which is connected to the control unit via a signal. Each power unit is connected to the first clutch unit and the second clutch unit. Each of the two first clutch units is connected to the drive pulley and the belt. The two belts are connected to the same running belt. Each of the two second clutch units is connected to the pull rope reel and the pull rope. Each of the two pull ropes has a grip on both sides of the running belt.

[0012] Furthermore, when neither of the two power units drives the drive wheel via the first clutch unit, and at least one of the power units drives the rope reel via the second clutch unit, the control unit controls the output torque of the two power units to be different.

[0013] Furthermore, the tension mechanism includes a guide wheel, a first steering pulley, and a second steering pulley, all perpendicular to each other in an X, Y, and Z direction. The guide wheel and the first steering pulley are positioned below the running belt in the Z direction, and the second steering pulley is positioned below the frame on the side of the running belt in the Z direction. The guide wheel and the first steering pulley are adjacent in the Y direction, and the first steering pulley and the second steering pulley are adjacent in the X direction. The pull rope is coiled adjacent to the running belt in the Y direction. The pull rope enters below the running belt along the Y direction, maintains its Y direction as it passes through the guide wheel, and then, via the first steering pulley, extends along or away from the X direction. It then, via the second steering pulley, extends along the Z direction and passes through the frame on the side of the running belt. The pull rope is connected to the grip on the frame on the side of the running belt.

[0014] Furthermore, in a Z direction, a handle and / or a display unit are disposed on the frame and spaced apart from the running belt in the Z direction by a distance. The display unit is signal-connected to the control unit, and the display unit is a monitor or a touch screen.

[0015] Furthermore, the drive wheel rotates in a forward direction, and the pull rope disc rotates in the forward direction or in a reverse direction opposite to the forward direction.

[0016] Furthermore, the first clutch unit and / or the second clutch unit are electromagnetic clutches.

[0017] Furthermore, the grip is located on the side of the middle section of the running belt.

[0018] Based on the above technical features, the following effects can be preferably achieved:

[0019] 1. During the operation of the pull mechanism, in addition to hand pull training, the user needs to repeatedly squat and stand up because the grip is on the side of the running belt, which can simultaneously train the lower limbs.

[0020] 2. A single pull and run training machine allows users to choose between running or pull training based on their needs, effectively saving space required for the machine.

[0021] 3. With the locking mechanism, users can operate the tension mechanism directly while standing on the treadmill belt, and even further save space on the sides of the tension and running training device.

[0022] 4. With two sets of power units, users can control which set of power units to use or use both sets to meet different needs such as running training, single-arm pull training, and double-arm pull training.

[0023] 5. The guide wheel and the first steering pulley are located under the running belt, while the second steering pulley is located under the frame on the side of the running belt. Most of the pull rope can be hidden under the running belt or the frame, which greatly reduces the amount of dust or foreign objects stuck in the tension mechanism.

[0024] 6. The grip is located on the side of the middle section of the running belt. Users will also operate the tension mechanism while standing in the middle section of the running belt, which avoids the tension and running training device tilting or tipping over due to changes in the overall center of gravity.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] Based on the above technical features, the main functions of this utility model's tension and running training device will be clearly demonstrated in the following embodiments.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The diagram illustrates a tension and running training device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The tension and running training device is located in a space having an X direction, a Y direction, and a Z direction that are perpendicular to each other.

[0041] This resistance and running training device includes:

[0042] A frame 1 includes a handle 11 and a display unit 12 arranged adjacent to each other. The display unit 12 can be a general display with simple display function, or an operable touch screen.

[0043] Two power units 2 are adjacent to each other in the X direction and are both disposed on the frame 1. The power unit 2 is, for example, a brushless DC motor, and each power unit 2 has a power shaft (not shown) extending beyond both sides of each power unit 2.

[0044] The two first clutch units 3 are respectively connected to one end of the power shaft.

[0045] The second clutch unit 4 is respectively connected to the other end of the power shaft. Both the first clutch unit 3 and the second clutch unit 4 can be electromagnetic clutches. The technology of electromagnetic clutches is mature and well known. Therefore, this utility model will not describe the internal structure and operating principle of electromagnetic clutches in detail.

[0046] A running mechanism 5 is installed on the frame 1. The running mechanism 5 includes two drive wheels 51, two belts 52, two driven wheels 53, a drive shaft 54, a driven shaft 55, and a running belt 56. The handle 11 and the display unit 12 are respectively spaced apart from the running belt 56 in the Z direction. The drive wheels 51 are respectively connected to the side of the first clutch unit 3 away from the drive shaft. The drive wheels 51 are respectively connected to the belts 52, and the belts 52 are respectively connected to the driven wheels 53. The driven wheels 53 are all connected to the drive shaft 54. One end of the running belt 56 is wrapped around the drive shaft 54, and the other end of the running belt 56 is wrapped around the driven shaft 55.

[0047] A tension mechanism 6 is disposed on the frame 1. The tension mechanism 6 includes two rope reels 61, two guide wheels 62, two first steering pulleys 63, two second steering pulleys 64, two ropes 65, and two grippers 66. The rope reels 61 are respectively connected to the side of the second clutch unit 4 away from the power shaft and adjacent to the running belt 56 in the Y direction. The guide wheels 62 and the first steering pulleys 63 are both disposed below the running belt 56 in the Z direction. The second steering pulleys 64 are respectively disposed on both sides of the frame 1 below the running belt 56 in the Z direction. The guide wheels 62 and the first steering pulleys 63 are adjacent in the Y direction, and the first steering pulleys 63 and the second steering pulleys 64 are adjacent in the X direction.

[0048] The pull rope 65 is wound around the pull rope reel 61. The pull rope 65 enters below the running belt 56 along the Y direction. The pull rope 65 maintains the Y direction as it passes through the guide wheel 62, and is turned by the first steering pulley 63 to extend along or away from the X direction. Then, it is turned by the second steering pulley 64 to extend along the Z direction and pass through the frame 1 on the side of the running belt 56. The pull rope 65 is connected to the grips 66 on the frame 1 on both sides of the middle section of the running belt 56.

[0049] Most of the pull ropes 65 can be hidden under the running belt 56 or the frame 1, greatly reducing the problem of dust or foreign objects getting stuck in the tension mechanism 6. In addition to helping to limit the displacement of the pull ropes 65 in the X direction, the guide wheel 62 can also be appropriately configured as a tensioning mechanism to help tension the pull ropes 65.

[0050] A locking mechanism 7 is provided on the frame 1. The locking mechanism 7 includes a locking wheel 71, a locking bolt 72, and a locking power unit 73. The locking wheel 71 is coupled to the drive shaft 54 ​​and has a plurality of locking holes 711. The locking power unit 73 is connected to the locking bolt 72. The locking power unit 73 may also be a brushless DC motor. Preferably, the drive shaft 54 ​​may include an external sleeve portion for engaging the running belt 56 and an internal shaft portion for pivotally connecting to the frame 1, and the locking wheel 71 can be coupled to the shaft.

[0051] A control unit 8 is connected to the display unit 12, the power unit 2, and the locking power unit 73. When the display unit 12 is a general display, it is preferable to have a control panel (not shown) for subsequent control. When the display unit 12 is a touch screen, a control panel or, as in this invention, direct control via the touch screen can be used.

[0052] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 And please match Figure 4 As shown, a user A can operate the display unit 12 to select a running training mode.

[0053] At this time, the control unit 8 will control the first clutch unit 3 to be closed and the second clutch unit 4 to be disengaged, so that the power unit 2 can drive the running mechanism 5 to operate but not drive the tension mechanism 6 to operate.

[0054] More specifically, the drive shaft has a forward rotation direction, and the drive shaft sequentially passes through the drive pulley 51, the belt 52, and the driven pulley 53. Figure 3 This causes the drive shaft 54 ​​to rotate in the forward direction, and the drive shaft 54 ​​in turn causes the running belt 56 to rotate around the drive shaft 54 ​​and the driven shaft 55. Figure 1 The user A can rotate the treadmill belt 56 to perform running training.

[0055] Please see Figures 6 to 9 And please match Figure 4 As shown, when user A wants to switch to two-handed pull training, he can also operate the display unit 12 to select the two-handed pull training mode.

[0056] The control unit 8 first controls the locking power unit 73 to operate, and the locking power unit 73 drives the bolt 72 to be inserted into one of the locking holes 711, thereby locking the drive shaft 54 ​​by the bolt 72 and preventing it from rotating, and the running belt 56 will not rotate either.

[0057] In this way, user A can stand directly on the treadmill belt 56 to operate the tension mechanism 6, and even further save the space required on the side of the tension and running training device.

[0058] In actual implementation, the locking power unit 73 may not be installed, and the user A may manually insert the bolt 72 into one of the locking holes 711.

[0059] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 And please match Figure 4 As shown, the control unit 8 then controls the second clutch unit 4 to close and the first clutch unit 3 to disengage, so that the power unit 2 can drive the pulling mechanism 6 to operate but not drive the running mechanism 5 to operate.

[0060] At this time, the power shaft will drive the pull rope disc 61 to rotate around the forward rotation direction, and the pull rope 65 will be retracted through the pull rope disc 61, which is equivalent to providing a resistance to the pull rope 65 to prevent the user A from pulling it out.

[0061] User A can squat down and grasp the pull grip 66 with both hands, palms down, then stand up and raise both hands to resist the resistance and pull out the pull rope 65. At this time, the pull rope disc 61 will rotate in a reverse direction opposite to the forward rotation to release the pull rope 65, and user A can achieve hand pull strength training.

[0062] Please see Figure 11 As shown, in addition to the palm-down position, user A can also squat down and change to palm-up position to grip the pull handle 66 with both hands, then stand up and raise both hands upward to resist the resistance and pull out the pull rope 65, thus achieving another way of training the pull strength of both hands.

[0063] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 9 and Figure 11 And please match Figure 4 As shown, regardless of the method of hand-to-hand pull training, in addition to hand-to-hand pull training, since the pull grip 66 is on the side of the running belt 56, in order to grasp the pull grip 66, the user A needs to repeatedly squat down and stand up, thus simultaneously achieving lower limb training.

[0064] Furthermore, since the grip 66 is located on the side of the middle section of the running belt 56, the user A will also be standing in the middle section of the running belt 56 to operate the tension mechanism 6, thus avoiding the problem of the tension and running training device tilting or overturning due to the change in the center of gravity of the user A and the overall tension and running training device.

[0065] Depending on the user A's own needs, the output torque of the two power units 2 can be controlled by the control unit 8 to be different, and the resistance of the pull ropes 65 on both sides can be different.

[0066] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 And please match Figure 4 As shown, user A can further operate the display unit 12 to select the single-handed pulling training mode.

[0067] The control unit 8 controls one of the second clutch units 4 on the corresponding side to close, while the second clutch unit 4 and the first clutch unit 3 on the other side are both disengaged. The power unit 2 can drive the components on one side of the pulling mechanism 6 to operate, but does not drive the components on the other side of the pulling mechanism 6 and the running mechanism 5 to operate.

[0068] User A can choose to stand on the treadmill belt 56 or on the side of the tension and running training device, and pull the rope 65 with the hand they wish to train. Figure 9 , Figure 11 Similar to the hand-pull strength training, user A also needs to repeat the squatting and standing movements, which can simultaneously train the lower limbs.

[0069] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, a single pull and run training machine can be used to select whether to perform running training, single-arm pull training or double-arm pull training according to one's own needs, which can more effectively save the space required for the machine. In addition to being used in gyms, it is also suitable for use in general home spaces that are even smaller than gyms for home exercise.

[0070] Based on the above description of the embodiments, it should be fully understood that the operation, use and effects of the present invention are as follows. The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims and description of the present invention are within the scope of the present invention.
