Abstract

We offer an exercise bike with a built-in health management app and mobile charging function. [Solution] A generator (dynamo) 2 is attached to the rotating shaft of the exercise bike body 1, converting the energy generated during exercise into electricity, which is then attached to a smartphone / mobile battery holder 3 with a plug, allowing the user to charge a mobile battery or smartphone, while also managing and maintaining health using a dedicated app, which is used as a control panel. The amount of power generated per exercise, exercise time, and calculated calorie consumption are used to calculate the amount of exercise time needed to approach an ideal body shape and weight, as well as the time needed to improve physical strength and muscle strength.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This device uses a dynamo attached to the rotating shaft of the exercise bike body to apply exercise load while charging a smartphone or mobile battery. Based on the values obtained from charging, the built-in app provides target values for the amount of exercise and time required to achieve ideal weight, and the LCD control panel functions are performed by the smartphone. [Background technology]

[0002] Many conventional exercise bikes rely on physical frictional resistance, such as a tightening belt, to provide resistance for calorie burning. The energy gained from the rotational movement of the pedals is used solely for calorie burning and not for any other purpose. Charging smartphones and mobile batteries consumes public electricity and does not conserve energy. Furthermore, existing pedometer apps only calculate steps and distance traveled, and are not designed to maintain health management or guide users toward their ideal body shape. Furthermore, while a mobile phone charger is proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 2006-87151 (Patent Document 1), it does not incorporate a health management plan that uses the user's calorie burned data. [Patent Document 1] JP2006-87151 Public Relations DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The kinetic energy generated by exercise is simply consumed, without any secondary use, and the calorie burned value is also used as display data. Smartphones and other devices are also charged separately. Furthermore, even if the exercise machine does not have an LCD panel, the smartphone's LCD screen can be used by connecting it, solving the drawbacks of conventional exercise machines. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] The kinetic energy generated by the device is used to charge a smartphone or mobile battery, and the generated power data is used to set sustainable health management goals in a health management app, solving problems from both the energy conservation and health management perspectives.In addition, the device uses fewer plastic parts, which leads to energy conservation and a reduction in plastic products. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] As mentioned above, steppers with built-in health management apps and mobile charging functions can simultaneously perform exercises that were previously performed independently and charge smartphones, etc. By effectively utilizing human-generated electrical energy and managing health while increasing motivation to continue, this can contribute to solving social issues such as energy problems and preventing illness.

Claims

[Claim 1] An exercise bike with a built-in mobile charging function that generates electricity using a generator (dynamo) attached to the axis of the exercise bike body, and uses the generated electricity to charge a smartphone or mobile battery. The amount of electricity generated is used as data for a built-in or downloaded dedicated health management app, and the smartphone's LCD screen is used as both a data display and control panel.The amount of electricity generated per exercise session, exercise time, and calculated calorie consumption are used to calculate the amount of exercise time needed to approach the user's ideal body shape and weight, as well as the amount of time needed to improve physical strength and muscle strength, based on the user's age, height, and weight data registered in advance.
