Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE This application relates to the field of training equipment, and more particularly to power trainers. [Background technology]
[0002] A power station is a fitness equipment that integrates multiple power training functions, and has the characteristics of small footprint, diverse functions, and flexible use. Conventional power stations usually include a table on which people can stand or lie, and two ropes installed on a flat surface, and users can work out by pulling the ropes. The design of the power station is usually very compact, and it can be easily stored when not in use, saving space. It provides multiple power training movements, and adjusts the resistance through an electric motor or transmission system to meet the training needs of different users. Such equipment is not only suitable for gyms, but also very suitable for home fitness, allowing users to perform professional power training at home. Currently, power stations can be designed with a foldable structure for easy storage and ease of use at home. However, a relatively large area is required to spread the power station widely when in use, and the point of action of the rope does not move after the power station is spread, so when training, the direction of the force on the rope does not match the direction in which the force needs to be applied, which affects the effect of the workout. For example, lateral lifting usually adopts dumbbells or barbells, and the gravity of the dumbbells or barbells is always vertically downward, which makes it easy for users to intuitively know the training force and to perform workouts step by step based on training tutorials. If the rope is not vertical, the force on the rope will not be vertical, so the user cannot intuitively know the training force and is difficult to use.
[0003] Therefore, a power trainer is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] This application section is used to introduce concepts in a simple form, which will be described in detail in the following specific embodiments section. This application section is not intended to identify key features or necessary features of the technical solution claimed for protection, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the technical solution claimed for protection. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] In order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the Background section above, some embodiments of the present application provide a power trainer, the power trainer including a platform having an upper surface for a user to stand or lie on, and a rope attached to the platform for people to pull to perform a workout, the power trainer includes two platforms, the two platforms are connected and arranged side by side, a connector is attached to the platform, the two connectors are hinged, the hinge axis is perpendicular to the plane on which the platform is located, and the two platforms are deflected around the hinge axis to adjust the point of action of the rope.
[0006] When it is necessary to adjust the point of action of the rope using the provided connector, the two base plates can be adjusted so as to deflect around the hinge axis of the connector, thereby changing the orientation of the connection point between the rope and the base plates relative to the user, thereby adjusting the direction of the force acting on the rope.
[0007] Furthermore, the connector includes a connector connected to one column and the base, and the columnar portions of the two connectors are coaxial and rotate relatively along the axis.
[0008] The two pillars are arranged coaxially above and below the pillars, and the two bases rotate relative to each other when the two pillars rotate about their axes.
[0009] Furthermore, an adjustment knob is removably attached to one of the columnar parts by magnetic attraction, and a controller for controlling the rope resistance is provided inside the base plate. The adjustment knob is wirelessly connected to the controller and is used to adjust the rope resistance.
[0010] The detachable adjustment knob allows the user to adjust or switch the exercise function without bending over. By removing the adjustment knob and wirelessly connecting it to a controller, the controller can control the rope resistance and adjust the exercise mode required for switching.
[0011] Furthermore, the base plate has a first side and a second side, and by rotating the two base plates, the first sides of the two base plates come into close contact with each other, the second sides come into close contact with each other, or the base plates are in an intermediate state where neither the first side nor the second side is in close contact with each other.
[0012] When the two plates are in contact with the first side, the stretchers are located on opposite sides, the user is on the platen and the ropes are on both sides of the user's arms, making it easier to perform side lifting workouts; when the two plates are in contact with the second side, the ropes are adjacent, the user is on the platen and facing the ropes, making it easier to perform forward lifting workouts.
[0013] Furthermore, a hole is provided on the top surface of the base plate, and one end of a rope is drilled through this hole and used for pulling by the user.
[0014] The hole is located on the top side of the base, and the force applied to the stretcher always points toward the hole. After the rope is passed through the hole, it is attached to a handle for use.
[0015] Furthermore, a servo motor is provided within the base plate, and a winding tube for winding the rope is fastened to the output end of the servo motor. The controller is electrically connected to the servo motor, and the servo motor is used to generate resistance in the rope.
[0016] The servo motor can apply resistance to the rope and the controller can control the resistance that the servo motor applies to the stretch, such that the rope is wound onto the take-up tube when the user does not apply a pulling force to the rope.
[0017] Furthermore, an anti-slip footrest that is supported on the ground is provided below the base plate, and a support pillar is provided within the base plate, with the upper end of the support pillar supported on the upper side of the base plate and the lower end of the support pillar positioned above the anti-slip footrest.
[0018] When the user is on the platform, the support posts transfer pressure to the non-slip footrests, keeping the non-slip footrests in contact with the ground and preventing the platform from slipping when performing a workout.
[0019] Furthermore, a removal groove is formed on one side of the surface plate, and a roller is provided to rotate at the lower end of the surface plate on the side opposite the removal groove.
[0020] With the ejection groove and pulley at the beginning and end, when the base plate is lifted by the ejection groove, the rollers come into contact with the ground, making it easy to move the base plate.
[0021] Furthermore, the base is a rectangular platform structure, and the connectors are provided at the corner positions of the rectangular structure. Effect of the Invention
[0022] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
[0023] 1. When the point of action of the rope needs to be adjusted by the provided connector, the two plates can be adjusted to deflect around the hinge axis of the connector, changing the orientation of the connection point between the rope and the plates relative to the user, thereby adjusting the direction of the force on the rope and facilitating the adjustment of the relative position between the user and the rope for different workout methods.
[0024] 2. The detachable adjustment knob allows users to adjust or switch the exercise function without bending over. By removing the adjustment knob and connecting it wirelessly to the controller, the controller can control the rope resistance and adjust the exercise mode required for switching.
[0025] 3. When the user stands on the platform, the support column transfers pressure to the anti-slip footrest, keeping the anti-slip footrest in contact with the ground and preventing the platform from slipping when working out.
[0026] 4. The pulley and the ejection groove at the beginning and end allow the rollers to come into contact with the ground when the platen is lifted by the ejection groove, making it easy to move the platen. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0033] It should be understood that the modifications "a" and "multiple" referred to in the present disclosure are intended to be illustrative rather than limiting, and that one of ordinary skill in the art should understand "one or more" unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0034] The present disclosure will now be described in detail in conjunction with the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Referring to FIG. 1-11, there is a surface plate 100, a rope 101, and a connector 102. There are two surface plates 100, and they have a rectangular base structure, and the two surface plates 100 can be connected to each other. The connectors 102 are fastened to the corner positions of the surface plate 100, and the two connectors 102 include a columnar part 104 and a connecting part 103, and the connecting part 103 is fixed to the surface plate 100. The columnar parts 104 of the two connectors 102 are coaxial and can rotate with each other, and the two columnar parts 104 are connected with a bolt. The connectors 102 allow the two surface plates 100 to rotate relative to each other, and the two surface plates 100 have two extreme states in which one side is in close contact with each other, and an intermediate state between the two extreme states.
[0036] The surface plate 100 has a first side 107 and a second side 108. In one limit state, the two first sides 107 are in close contact with each other, and the two second sides 108 are formed at 180 degrees. In another limit state, the two second sides 108 are in close contact with each other, and the two first sides 107 are formed at 180 degrees. A servo motor 110 is provided in the surface plate 100. A winding tube 111 is fastened to the power output end of the servo motor 110. The winding tube 111 winds the rope 101. A hole 109 for the rope 101 to be drilled is opened on the upper surface of the surface plate 100. The hole 109 is on the upper side of the surface plate 100. After the rope 101 passes through the hole 109, it is connected to a handle for use. The servo motor 110 controls the torque generated in the winding tube 111 and applies resistance to the rope 101.
[0037] A controller 106 is further provided within the base plate 100, and the controller 106 is electrically connected to a servo motor 110, which is used to control the resistance applied by the servo motor 110 to the rope 101. An adjustment knob 105 is detachably attached to one of the pillars 104 by magnetic attraction, and the adjustment knob 105 is wirelessly connected to the controller 106, and the controller 106 adjusts the range for different motion modes, so that the servo motor 110 can apply different resistances to the rope 101. A battery for providing power is further provided within the base plate 100, and the adjustment knob is rechargeable.
[0038] In one embodiment, the two base plates 100 are rotated to an extreme position such that when the second sides 108 are in contact, the user is on the base plates 100 and the holes 109 on the base plates 100 are located on either side of the user, respectively, to facilitate lateral lifting movements by the user.
[0039] In one embodiment, when the swing range of the user's arms is relatively large and the rope 101 is not perpendicular to the base plate 100 during use, the direction of the force acting on the rope 101 is vertically downward. By rotating the two base plates 100 around the columnar parts 104 and adjusting the distance between the two holes 109, when the user performs lateral lifting exercises, the rope 101 is perpendicular to the base plate 100, and the training force can be intuitively known.
[0040] In one embodiment, when the two base plates 100 are rotated to their extreme positions so that the first sides 107 are in contact with each other, the holes 109 on the base plates 100 are positioned directly in front of the user, facilitating forward lift training by the user.
[0041] In one embodiment, a non-slip footrest 112 supported on the ground is fixed to the underside of the base 100, and a support pole 113 is fixed inside the base 100, with the upper end of the support pole 113 supported on the upper side of the base 100 and the lower end of the support pole 113 located above the non-slip footrest 112. When a user is standing on the base 100, the support pole 113 keeps the non-slip footrest 112 in close contact with the ground, preventing the base 100 from moving during training.
[0042] An ejection groove 114 is formed on the first side 107 of the base plate 100, and a roller 115 is provided to rotate at the lower end of the side of the base plate 100 opposite the ejection groove 114. When the base plate 100 is lifted by the ejection groove 114, the roller 115 comes into contact with the ground, making it easy to transport the base plate 100.
[0043] Work process or method of use: 1. By placing the base plates 100 on the ground, in the initial state, the second sides 108 of the two base plates 100 are in close contact with each other, and the user stands on the top of the base plates 100 and works out by pulling the ropes 101. When the user's arm swing is relatively large, the two base plates 100 can be rotated to adjust the holes 109 on the two base plates 100 so that the ropes 101 are perpendicular to the plane when performing lateral lifting exercises, making it easy to intuitively know the training strength.
[0044] 2. When it is necessary to perform forward lift training, the two bases 100 are rotated and adjusted so that the two first sides 107 are in close contact with each other, and the two holes 109 are positioned directly in front of the user, making it easy for the user to perform forward lift training.
