Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fitness equipment technology, and in particular relates to a self-generating structure for fitness equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing emphasis on health, fitness equipment has gradually become a common feature in homes and gyms. Traditional fitness equipment, such as exercise bikes, mainly relies on external power sources or batteries to operate, increasing the cost of using the equipment and dependence on external power supply. In order to better achieve energy self-sufficiency, in recent years, self-generating structures that convert mechanical energy generated during exercise into electrical energy have emerged. In existing technologies, although some fitness equipment uses power generation devices to drive auxiliary functions, they generally suffer from problems such as low power generation efficiency and system complexity. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides an autonomous power generation structure for fitness equipment, aiming to solve the problems of low power generation efficiency and complex systems that exist in the prior art, although some fitness equipment uses power generation devices to drive auxiliary functions.

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows: a self-generating structure for fitness equipment includes an exercise bike, with foot pedals installed inside the exercise bike, a power generation device installed on top of the exercise bike, and an auxiliary device installed outside the power generation device.

[0005] The power generation device includes a first reel, which is sleeved on the outside of the pedals. A belt is wound around the first reel, and a second reel is installed inside the belt. A two-stage reducer is installed inside the second reel. The two-stage reducer is fixedly connected to the top of the exercise bike, and a self-generating motor is installed at the output end of the two-stage reducer.

[0006] Preferably, the self-generating motor is covered with a shell, which is fixedly connected to the top of the exercise bike.

[0007] Preferably, the self-generating motor is fixedly connected to the top of the exercise bike by bolts.

[0008] Preferably, the auxiliary device includes a battery pack, two mounting plates, and a control button. The control button is installed inside the seat of the exercise bike, the battery pack is fixedly connected inside the housing, and a wire is installed inside the battery pack. One end of the wire is installed inside the self-generating motor.

[0009] Preferably, the two mounting plates are symmetrically mounted on the outside of the exercise bike, and a mounting base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate, with a ball installed inside the mounting base.

[0010] Preferably, the sphere and the mounting base are connected in a movable manner, and a lampshade is installed below the sphere.

[0011] Preferably, a lamp is installed inside the lampshade, the lamp is electrically connected to the battery pack, and the lamp is electrically connected to the control button.

[0012] Compared with related technologies, the self-generating structure for fitness equipment provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, the user's exercise energy is effectively converted into electrical energy through the foot pedal drive transmission structure of the exercise bike. During use, the movement of the foot pedal drives the first roller to rotate, which in turn drives the belt and the second roller to rotate. Through the transmission method of the two-stage reducer, the system can effectively increase the speed, thereby better matching the working requirements of the self-generating motor. At the same time, the self-generating motor provides smooth resistance through electromagnetic damping, ensuring the stability of the system and effectively and continuously generating electrical energy. This structure not only improves the power generation efficiency, but also avoids energy waste during exercise, enabling the fitness equipment to achieve self-sufficient power supply and improving the convenience of use.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, the battery pack is used to store the excess electricity generated by the self-generating motor. Through the energy storage function of the battery pack, when the user sits on the exercise bike, the pressure applied to the control button will activate the lighting system, and the lamp will turn on. The focusing effect of the lampshade can effectively illuminate the foot pedal area, especially in darker environments, providing sufficient light to facilitate the user's exercise. This design not only solves the problem of exercising in low-light environments, but also effectively utilizes the electrical energy generated during exercise, providing a green, environmentally friendly, and practical lighting solution.

It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] A preferred embodiment of the self-generating structure for fitness equipment provided by this utility model is, for example... Figures 1 to 4 As shown: It includes an exercise bike 1, foot pedals 2 installed inside the exercise bike 1, a power generation device 3 installed on the top of the exercise bike 1, and an auxiliary device 4 installed outside the power generation device 3.

[0024] The power generation device 3 includes a first reel 302, which is sleeved on the foot pedal 2. A belt 303 is wound around the first reel 302. A second reel 304 is installed inside the belt 303. A two-stage reducer 305 is installed inside the second reel 304. The two-stage reducer 305 is fixedly connected to the top of the exercise bike 1. A self-generating motor 306 is installed at the output end of the two-stage reducer 305.

[0025] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the first pulley 302 and the belt 303 can efficiently transfer the mechanical energy applied by the user through the foot pedal 2 to the subsequent transmission parts. The transmission method of the belt 303 reduces direct friction and improves the energy transfer efficiency. At the same time, the flexibility and elasticity of the belt 303 can adapt to the load changes under different exercise states, ensuring the stability and efficient operation of the system. This cooperation can achieve continuous power transmission and electrical energy generation without affecting the user's fitness experience.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the self-generating motor 306 is covered by a cover 301, which is fixedly connected to the top of the exercise bike 1, and the self-generating motor 306 is fixedly connected to the top of the exercise bike 1 by bolts.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Based on Embodiment 1, a preferred embodiment of the self-generating structure for fitness equipment provided by this utility model is, for example... Figure 4 As shown: The auxiliary device 4 includes a battery pack 401, two mounting plates 403 and a control button 408. The control button 408 is installed inside the seat of the exercise bike 1. The battery pack 401 is fixedly connected inside the cover 301. A wire 402 is installed inside the battery pack 401. One end of the wire 402 is installed inside the self-generating motor 306. The two mounting plates 403 are symmetrically installed outside the exercise bike 1. A mounting base 404 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 403. A ball 405 is installed inside the mounting base 404.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the lampshade 406 and the lamp 407 enhances the lighting effect. The lampshade 406 is designed to focus the light emitted by the lamp 407, ensuring that the foot pedal 2 area receives sufficient illumination even in low-light environments. The stable installation of the lampshade 406 and the electrical connection of the lamp 407 ensure the stability of the lighting system, allowing exercisers to clearly see the foot pedal 2 area when using the exercise bike 1 at night or in dim environments, thus avoiding accidents.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sphere 405 and the mounting base 404 are movably connected, a lampshade 406 is installed below the sphere 405, a lamp 407 is installed inside the lampshade 406, the lamp 407 is electrically connected to the battery pack 401, and the lamp 407 is electrically connected to the control button 408.

[0031] In this embodiment, the movable connection between the ball 405 and the mounting base 404 provides greater flexibility and stability. During movement, the ball 405 can be adjusted appropriately according to changes in load and angle. This structural design can effectively reduce the impact or instability caused by external forces, while ensuring the stability and positional accuracy of the lampshade 406. The movable connection of the ball 405 increases the adaptability of the system, enabling the equipment to operate smoothly in different environments.

[0032] In summary, the pedals 2 of the exercise bike 1 effectively convert the user's exercise energy into electrical energy through the drive transmission structure. During use, the movement of the pedals 2 drives the first pulley 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the belt 303 and the second pulley 304 to rotate. Through the transmission method of the two-stage reducer 305, the system can effectively increase the speed, thereby better matching the working requirements of the self-generating motor 306. At the same time, the self-generating motor 306 provides smooth resistance through electromagnetic damping, ensuring the stability of the system and effectively and continuously generating electrical energy. Through the energy storage function of the battery pack 401, when the user sits on the exercise bike 1, the pressure applied to the control button 408 will activate the lighting system, and the lamp 407 will light up. The focusing effect of the lampshade 406 can effectively illuminate the pedals 2 area, especially in darker environments, providing sufficient light to facilitate the user's exercise.
